This kind of temporary containment is actually a disguised recruitment, and if the yamen investigates it, it will definitely take a lot of words. But with the endorsement of the princess, there is nothing terrible about this, not only has the Honor Guard Division expanded the number of people, but more importantly, the honor guards are more loyal to Yang Chengzu.

Not only can he get money and food for everyone, but more importantly, he has the support of the princess behind him. Such a young man, not long after coming to Anlu, he has two big backers of the Sun family and the princess, if anyone works with him, it will definitely not end well.

But on the other hand, if anyone is willing to cooperate with him and get his favor, is he afraid that he will not be promoted? In addition, Yang Chengzu took out half of the princess's reward as a motivator to practice, and the centripetal force of the entire Honor and Guard Division was greatly improved.

Yang Chengzu understood, and now Wantong is afraid that he doesn't have the strength to entangle this issue with himself, on the one hand, the matter of the embankment, and on the other hand, the matter of An Lu's own affairs, which are enough to bear it.

Before Yang Chengzu raised the issue of the embankment on the south bank, Wan Tong really didn't care much about it, but when he really tried to find out, even he was startled. It turns out that the embankment there is already in danger to this extent. If I don't understand it now, I'm afraid there will really be a big mess.

Wantong is by no means a mediocre official, and after discovering the problem, he also found a way to solve it in time. From inviting the gentry to raise money for food, to recruiting people, and carrying out construction, these works were not slow. But the project is a laborious thing, and Wantong wants to name this section of the embankment Wangong Embankment, in other words, to repair this section of the embankment into his own meritorious project, so he often goes to the river embankment to squat and find trouble in Xingwangfu, so he has to let it go.

Moreover, the situation in Anlu is not very good now, and many refugees have begun to pour into Anlu, which is a severe test for the security of Anlu. Every year after the autumn harvest, there will be refugees, which seems to be a paradox, after the harvest, there will be refugees.

However, at the time of the autumn harvest every year, all kinds of rents and even loans must be collected and demanded at this time, and the expenditure of the peasants reached a peak at this time. Those who can't afford it can either choose to sell their wives and children, or hang themselves to die, or they have to flee.

There are also those who have lost the land they rely on for their livelihood in debt, and they cannot rent the land, so they have to flee the famine. The coming harsh winter can bring most of these people to the underworld, and the rest of them will have spring famine, the second harsh winter, and so on, but they will just have a few more days of breath.

Huguang produces grain, and this kind of scene can still be handled, but the problem is that this year's situation is special, it is said that the Shunde army has entered Huguang and fought several battles with the official army. Now after Huguang has been urgently mobilized, he can't get together 20,000 soldiers, and he doesn't have the courage to engage the rebel army, and most of them are defending the city.

Those who lived outside the city were captured by the rebels if they did not leave. Incorporated into the Baitou team, the youth team, the dare team, the non-return army, etc., and contributed their lives to the Shunde Dynasty. As for the women, needless to say, their naked bodies can be found in the wells of every village.

Originally, some people who didn't have to flee also joined the ranks of refugees in order to avoid military disasters, and An Lu faced a bit more refugees. When there are many refugees, the next thing that naturally comes is the problem of law and order. If you don't have money to buy rice, you have to find a way to survive, either stealing the money bag, or grabbing rice, and some go directly to other people's homes to rob it.

There are many of these criminals, but when they arrive in an unfamiliar environment, they don't understand the rules, but they quickly converge with their own kind in the city, blend into the dark environment, and become more and more like a fish in water.

In the previous conflict in Qixiang Pavilion, the injuries of Liang Wei and other public officials also weakened Anlu's security force a lot, so now to deal with this situation, I feel that there is a shortage of manpower. In order to maintain the situation in Anlu, now the yamen side has been fully mobilized and often works all night, and the palace side, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to make trouble for Wantong now, Wantong can't think of it.

Relying on this convenient condition, Yang Chengzu absorbed about 300 people from the military household in a short period of time. It's just that the rules for selecting soldiers are very strange, and even the old man of the Honor Guard Division can't understand it. For example, don't let someone in your family work as a servant, don't practice boxing and kicking, don't have a white face, don't be smart, don't have a small trader in the city, and so on.

Selected according to this condition, they are all the most honest and responsible country black-faced offspring, with simple brains, simple people, and a little wooden, and they will blush when they talk to people. Whatever the above asks you to do, you will do it, you don't have so much thought, and you don't even dare to make some hearts and eyes slippery.

After such 300 people were filled in, the quality and discipline of the team were not affected, although they started slowly, they were obedient, and they did not complain after training and training. As soon as I saw the rice and the meat once every seven days, I was satisfied. Even a few days later, some veterans felt a little taste: most of them were selected to join the army, most of them because they were obedient and let them do whatever they wanted.

In the room, Yang Chengzu also explained to Lu Bing that this half-grown child and little brother, although he has the title of deputy guard now, he can't actually manage people. The sons of those people may be older than Lu Bing, how can he have any authority, he just runs behind Yang Chengzu, does whatever he wants, and occasionally comes to ask some questions, or convey some people's requests.

"The first step in military training is to select soldiers. Selecting soldiers means choosing obedient soldiers, and soldiers who let them do whatever they want. The so-called physical strength and martial arts are useless. I've seen a war on the side plug, thousands of people are fighting in one place, you don't have any martial arts, and saving your life depends more on luck than kung fu. Relying on one's own knowledge of fists and feet, and having kung fu, those who refuse to obey orders are not only useless, but harmful. If he understands martial arts, but knows not to show off, I will actually accept it. The black-faced ones are because such people generally work a lot and are willing to endure hardships, without so many complaints, and can also calm down and do training. Only such a person can have a chance to become a good soldier. ”

His method is actually Qi Jiguang's recruitment standard in another time and space. Although Anlu does not have such good resources as the miners in Yiwu, these children of military families are not living well, and they choose some honest ones, whose combat effectiveness is not as good as that of Zhejiang soldiers, but they can also be stronger than ordinary soldiers in this era. After all, you don't need to run faster than a bear, you just need to run faster than your teammates.

Lu Bingdao: "Big brother, you chose your pawn like this, but An Lu is really likely to fight?" ”

"It's hard to say, I hope not. But who is good at this? After all, the rebels have 50,000 people in Huguang, and the momentum is very large, who knows which step to fight. If I were the imperial court, I would definitely concentrate my forces to fight him first, and then say, saying that it was 50,000, and it would be good if there could be 20,000 in real numbers, and it would be a chaotic army. With 10,000 officers and soldiers, you can start a fight with them. It's a pity, they have to defend the city, and they are going around arresting people to fill the number, and now I'm afraid there can really be 50,000. However, the military uniform is a problem, and it is said that it still can't beat the official health, but is it prepared? After all, it's better not to fight, and who doesn't want to live a peaceful life, I'm afraid that God will embarrass us, so we still have to be prepared. ”

He knew that Lu Bing asked this for the prince of Xing and even the princess of Xing, and he could reassure their hearts, as long as the people above were not chaotic, there would actually be no chaos below.

Relative to these, his own business is the real headache. Zhang Sizong didn't bother him, but the sequelae of that poetry meeting were gradually attacking, and now there are many people who are looking for trouble with him, and this kind of trouble is slowly fermenting, expanding, and spreading in the direction that makes him headache and helpless.
