Seeing that the crowd was commotion again, the surrounding soldiers of the new army immediately raised their spears, nervously guarded, and shouted loudly to keep quiet.

The noisy crowd quickly quieted down, and countless pairs of eyes watched Zhu Daolin's every move nervously.

Zhu Daolin looked around and loudly announced the disposal method: "Everyone listen, as long as the soldiers of Dongjiang Town did not participate in the rebellion, did not bully men and women, and disregarded people's lives, they can choose to continue to serve as soldiers or disarm and return to the field." ”

"All the people stranded on the island have two choices: one is to take their belongings and leave the island to fend for themselves; Second, they obeyed the arrangement of our army and went to the south to reclaim land, and our army provided free cattle, seeds, and farm tools to help every family build a house. ”

"No tax will be levied on the newly opened land for three years, and after three years, it will be taxed at 20% of the grain production, and all forced labor and poll taxes will be exempted, and children can enter the school to study for free!"

"Now please stand still and don't move, and follow the arrangements of our soldiers."

Thousands of people were in an uproar again.

The commanders of the various teams who had been prepared immediately walked to the crowd, and the captains of the various teams who maintained order led their brothers to divide the crowd into five parts, and screened out all the former Dongjiang officers and soldiers hidden in the crowd, and gathered them in the open space in front of the crowd, and all the brothers in each team responsible for escorting them were sent to the Chinese army camp for unified screening.

Zhu Daolin, Wu Jicheng and other generals of the Dongjiang Army led the personal guards to the Chinese army camp at the foot of the mountain, and the soldiers of the garrison battalion escorted Shen Shikui and 27 others to follow, Jiang Yulong and Guo Zhongjun stayed in place to preside over the screening and diversion of the military and civilians.

The camp of the Chinese army on Phi Island is located under the deep mountains, covering an area of no less than 60 acres.

To Zhu Daolin's surprise, except for a three-meter-high log fence on the periphery, the rest of the camp was a courtyard-style building with blue bricks and gray tiles. According to the topography, more than a dozen small courtyards were built from low to high, and hundreds of towering pine trees were left between the courtyards, and I couldn't help but secretly admire Mao Wenlong's military management methods, and also understood his good intentions of gathering tens of thousands of people to cultivate and do business on the island.

Zhu Daolin, surrounded by all the generals, entered the general's mansion in the center of the camp and handed over all affairs to Zhang Yizhen and Li Yuming to deal with. Visit this three-entry general's mansion with Wu Jicheng with a smile on his face.

The two walked around and returned to the front hall.

Zhu Daolin sighed to the happy Wu Jicheng: "Old Wu, you are really blessed!" This courtyard house is comparable to the mansion of a big landlord in the south of the Yangtze River, which shows how much effort Mao Dashuai put into it back then, it is just a middle courtyard, and you and a few deputy generals can't live with their families......"

"The wings on both sides of the front yard are enough to accommodate all parts of the newly formed military headquarters, the left and right side rooms in the lobby can be used as war rooms and archives, the backyard is more than 500 brothers stationed in the garrison battalion, and there are two courtyards with high walls on the left and right. At a glance, you can tell that it is Mao Dashuai's arsenal and granary! ”

"There is even a small temple on the hill in the west, which is too convenient!"

Wu Jicheng laughed: "My subordinates thought that Phi Dao, where Marshal Mao had been stationed for many years, would not be very bad, at least there should be no shortage of barracks for tens of thousands of brothers, training grounds and horse pens and other facilities, but I didn't expect that there would be more than a dozen courtyards of blue brick houses, not to mention anything else, just this Chinese army camp is enough for all the officers and men of our army to be stationed, haha!" ”

From time to time, there were several shouts and screams outside the courtyard gate. Zhu Daolin knew that Zhang Yizhen and Li Yuming were leading three battalions of soldiers to screen prisoners, and it was very normal to beat a few thorns and cut off the heads of recalcitrant people.

Wu Jicheng knew that Zhang Yizhen and Li Yuming were both thoughtful and decisive people. listened to a few screams, smiled slightly and continued to say his thoughts to Zhu Daolin:

As long as they are strictly screened, at least 500 loyal warriors who are familiar with the terrain of Liaodong can be selected to let the soldiers understand the generous treatment of our army. Seeing the determination of our army to attack the Manchu Tartars, they will definitely be able to quickly integrate into our army. ”

"In this way, our army will not have to spend three or five months sending elite scouts to re-survey the situation and terrain in the theater."

Zhu Daolin solemnly admonished: "The scouts should still be sent out according to the predetermined plan, according to the topographic map of Liaodong and the topographic map of North Korea issued by the headquarters to the Military Command Office. All military camps, villages, roads, rivers and water sources within a radius of 150 kilometers should be clearly marked. ”

"Whether it's North Korea in the east or Liaodong in the north, you have to figure it out, and you can't be negligent!"

"If you can't be busy, you will be handed over to Li Yuming to be responsible, 12 of the 16 people in the military order department were brought out by me, and they have basically mastered the basics of mapping and surveying and mapping.

"In addition, don't be reluctant to meet a talented good seedling, send it to Jiangnan Martial Arts Academy for further study, and then come back to lead the troops after studying for a year and a half, which is more beneficial to the army!"

"You also have to hurry up the establishment of the second garrison battalion, the existing garrison battalion officers and soldiers are my thousands of selected personal guards, after a year of training, they have to leave the Dongjiang Army, return to the martial arts academy for further study for half a year and then release them to lead the troops, the existing recruits in the rear have reached 15,000 people, and all the training projects can be completed within half a year, but there are not so many middle and low-level officers to be attached, every time I think of it, I have a headache."

Wu Jicheng agreed repeatedly, thought about it and then made a request: "According to the plan, before March, the main task of our army is to familiarize ourselves with the station, widen the four main roads on the island, assist the navy in building docks and fortresses, and carry out adaptability training, but my subordinates are worried that the newly formed artisan battalion is not enough, can we leave a few hundred people?" ”

Zhu Daolin waved his hand: "None of the existing people and businessmen can stay, and no one knows if there are Manchu spies hidden in them......"

"You might as well send a few obedient Dongjiang veterans to Anju and Yiju in the east, and quietly pick up hundreds of Liaodong people who have been displaced in Korea, but you must strictly screen ......"

"In addition, it is necessary to let Zhang Yizhen and several chief officers of the Military Affairs Department go to Anzhou as soon as possible, say hello to the Korean defenders and government in the east, explain the situation of our army, show the goodwill of our army, use real money to buy grain and horses from the North Korean government and merchants, and must not loot everywhere and make enemies everywhere like Mao Dashuai, strict military discipline is the key to victory, you must not forget this!"

Wu Jicheng immediately said: "My subordinates will definitely not relax!" ”

Zhu Daolin nodded: "At the beginning of March, I will ask the Four Seas Commercial Bank to send someone to establish a branch and form a fishing fleet, and it is better for many things to be done by merchants." ”

"After the establishment of the trading bank, it will be responsible for the supply of grain and various materials for the Dongjiang Army, and the goods such as leather goods, war horses, Korean ginseng, and precious wood purchased from North Korea will be transported to Jiangnan for sale, and then the cloth, iron pots, and various agricultural tools from Jiangnan will be transported back and sold to the Koreans."

"You have to ensure their safety, if there are any materials that need to be purchased, let them come forward, if you need a large amount of money urgently and cannot get it from the headquarters in time, after the discussion of the military meeting, you can borrow money from the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and they will fully support you."

"Four Seas Firm? Is it the Sihai firm that bought a large amount of land in Baoshan Port at the end of last year and threatened to build a high-rise building that surpasses the Tiangong Trading Company? Wu Jicheng asked curiously.

Zhu Daolin told him in a low voice: "Just listen to it, you can't spread it for at least two years!" Sihai Commercial Bank is a large commercial bank jointly established by the four major merchants of Beijing and Beizhili, which has 40% of the shares of our army, although it is invested in my own name, but 40% of the shares belong to the headquarters of the Quartermaster Department, and all the money earned is used for the army and navy. ”

"In the second half of the year, the existing shareholders will open a bank, and I personally contributed 6 million taels of silver to account for 6 percent of the shares, and two years later, officers above the commander of our military battalion can buy shares, 100 taels of silver per share!"

"Don't underestimate this share, in less than five years, Sihai Bank will be able to surpass Bofu Money, and the annual dividend per share is estimated to reach more than 30 taels of silver, which is the only benefit I seek for the brothers under my command who follow me with their heads, at least so that the brothers can have a hope, do not have to be greedy for military salaries, and make contributions wholeheartedly, and can also ensure that the brothers do not have to worry about the source of livelihood for future generations."

"Other than that, there will be no such good thing in the future, and even most of the property in my name will be donated to the army in the future."

Wu Jicheng was moved, stood up and bowed respectfully to Zhu Daolin.
