"Naturally, there will be no shortage of 200,000 stones, but the cargo ship of the Denglai Sailor is limited, and only 40,000 stone rice noodles have been transported this time. The rest of the food will be delivered soon. Zhang Yan said to Mao Wenlong, "General Mao, let's let people carry the grain!" The Holy One confessed that after the food arrived, not a single person on the island would starve to death. ”

"Holy mercy." Mao Wenlong still has a sense of reverence for the emperor, after all, he was only a small capital division before, and he had just been promoted to the chief military officer at this time.

"Come on, get all the food off the ship. Wang Yining, you take someone to make a fire and make rice. Be sure to do your best to let the people on the island have a hot meal. Mao Wenlong hurriedly commanded.

The military and civilians on the island instantly became a sensation.

"It was the emperor who sent someone to bring us grain, and he brought 200,000 stone of grain, and everyone on the island has something to eat."

"Great, the emperor is really the king of the Holy Ming!"

All the people rushed to tell each other with high spirits, and those who were so hungry that they had no strength also sat down in a ball with the support of others, ready to make a fire to make food.

After a while, Wang Yining came to pray, "My lord, there is not enough firewood. ”

"What?" Mao Wenlong was depressed, it can be imagined that there is not enough firewood, this is simply ...... That's. However, Phi Koh is one such island where no trees grow at all. Mao Wenlong hurriedly ordered: "Why don't you take someone to the shore to chop firewood." ”

"General Mao, many of the people on the island have been hungry for a long time, and it is not appropriate to eat too much immediately. It's better to concentrate the firewood to boil porridge first, and let the people drink some porridge first! Zhang Yan said to Mao Wenlong.

"What the overseer said is reasonable, quickly set up a pot to boil porridge, Wang Fu, you take someone to North Korea to transport firewood." Mao Wenlong thought highly of this young eunuch.

Then a large iron pot was set up on the island and porridge began to boil. The porridge was only cooked until it was five or six minutes cooked, and then it was brought out of the pot by the hungry people, and each person was given a small bowl first.

It's a lifesaver!

Many people relied on this small bowl of porridge to get out of danger and regain some strength.

The food on the ship was also unloaded quickly, and 40,000 stone of grain was enough for the people of the island to eat with an open stomach. As Xiang Fu brought firewood from the coastal areas of North Korea, the island suddenly became full of smoke. The people of the island were given rations and were busy making fires to fill their stomachs.

Mao Wenlong looked at so many people on the island and asked Zhang Yan: "Look, Lord Supervisor, there are so many people on the island, and even the water source is very scarce, I don't know if you can do it?" ”

"When the Sprinkle family came, the emperor had already ordered it. There are too many people on the island, so they can be transferred to Beizhili by boat, and the emperor will arrange land and cattle for them to cultivate. After a while, when the people have eaten their stomachs, they can transport a batch with the fleet first. ”

"Your Majesty." Mao Wenlong sang from the bottom of his heart, these people moved to Beizhili, and they could also get land to cultivate, which would undoubtedly allow these people to live. Mao Wenlong then asked: "I don't know if in addition to food, there are also weapons?" Nowadays, the weapons used by the military and civilians of Phi Island are really poor. ”

"Of course there are weapons, but the emperor also has a task for you." Zhang Yan said.

"Please also ask the Warden to show me." Mao Wenlong's expression was stern, and Zhang Yan said: "The emperor wants you to form an army that can contain Jiannu within this year." As long as Jiannu dares to invade Liaoxi, Dongjiang Town must have the ability to turn the rear of Jiannu upside down. ”

Zhang Yan said and took out a secret decree and handed it to Mao Wenlong, saying: "This is the secret decree given to you by the emperor, how to form an army, how to fight Jiannu, there are instructions above." In addition, after a while, the emperor will also send 10,000 Beijing battalions to Dongjiang Town, which will also be under your command. ”

Mao Wenlong hurriedly opened the secret decree and looked at it.

Zhu Youxiao instructed Mao Wenlong in his secret decree, first, to give Mao Wenlong a regular army of 10,000 people, select young and strong people from the people of Liaodong, and supply all equipment and military salaries to the imperial court, and at the same time allocate 10,000 Beijing battalions to Mao Wenlong's command. In addition to the regular army, Mao Wenlong was ordered to form a 'guerrilla army', which relied on the mountainous areas in the southeast of Liaodong to launch an all-out guerrilla war against Jiannu.

"Guerrilla warfare does not care about the gains and losses of one city or one place, and focuses on killing and injuring the living forces of Jiannu, destroying the production of Jiannu, and rescuing the people of Liaodong. It is necessary to be pervasive, so that the construction of slaves is loud and loud, and the grass and trees are soldiers. ”

After Mao Wenlong saw this paragraph, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"As long as General Mao fights according to the emperor's instructions, what do you want the emperor to give. All the logistics, the emperor will transport it to the Dongjiang River for you to call regardless of the blood. Zhang Yan said to Mao Wenlong.

"Minister Mao Wenlong must live up to the emperor's expectations." Mao Wenlong looked extremely excited, what does this mean?

This means that he will become the emperor's most important general. Whatever you want, it's just a fantastic treat. The emperor naturally also had a hand, that is, he transferred 10,000 Beijing camps to Dongjiang Town.

This 10,000-strong Beijing battalion came to Dongjiang Town, and it was indeed under the command of Mao Wenlong. But it was more because he was afraid that Zhang Yan would not be able to control the scene and would not be able to supervise the military discipline and logistics of the Dongjiang Army.

The Dongjiang Army, which was almost formed from scratch, paid no more than the hands of the generals, and was directly distributed to the soldiers by the imperial court. At the same time, the Ministry of Political and Educational Affairs will also send a large number of personnel to Dongjiang Town to arrange for them to serve as military political commissars in the army, as well as to develop grassroots instructors. Inculcate the idea of loyalty to the military generals and soldiers, and focus on promoting the wisdom and martial arts of today's saints. as well as boosting the morale of the army to fight, and carrying out comprehensive propaganda on the atrocities of Jiannu.

Military political commissars and instructors also have an important task, that is, to maintain military discipline and count military exploits.

Zhu Youxiao's idea is also very simple, it is no problem to smash a Dongjiang Army regardless of blood costs, but it is necessary to ensure the control of the Dongjiang Army and the discipline of the Dongjiang Army.

In particular, as long as discipline is maintained, the phenomenon of soldiers being bullied by military attachés is prevented, and sufficient logistical supplies are provided, the hearts of the soldiers will not be chilled. As long as you don't chill, there will be no phenomenon in history that the Dongjiang Army surrendered wild boar skins one after another. After all, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army and the wild boar skin have the hatred of ruining their families and people, and the court does not let them chill, how can they surrender and defect?

As for operational command, the military political commissars and grassroots instructors headed by Zhang Yan did not interfere in any way with Mao Wenlong and the generals below.

As long as the Dongjiang Army is formed according to this rhythm, there is no need to worry about Mao Wenlong's rebellion in the future. Under the continuous brainwashing of military political commissars and instructors, even if Mao Wenlong wanted to rebel, few were willing to follow.

The most important thing is that Zhu Youxiao decided to change the statistics and reward methods for his exploits. In the past, it was a reward of fifty taels of silver for killing an enemy, but now the imperial court does not have such great financial resources.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to use land as a reward, and formulated a new reward plan for the Dongjiang Army, killing one Zhenyi, rewarding 1 tael of silver, and 50 acres of land. In order to avoid confusion in the competition for the first rank, it was stipulated that the captured heads should be publicly owned by the participating troops, and then evenly distributed among the participating soldiers.

At the same time, there are also statistics of military merits of special class, first class, second class, and third class, which are also mainly based on rewarding land. 50 acres of land will be awarded for third-class merit, 100 acres of land will be awarded for second-class merit, 200 acres of land will be awarded for first-class merit, and 500 acres of land will be awarded for special merit.

Where does the land come from?

Of course, it was taken from the enemy, there is so much land in Liaodong, and outside of Liaodong, there are still large areas of land in the north of Liaodong that have not been reclaimed.

As long as the Jiannu is eliminated, the soldiers participating in the war can get the land.

What if you can't get rid of Jiannu? It doesn't matter, Huangzhuang has a large amount of land, and although this land is cultivated for the homeless, it is subject to 30% of the tenant rent every year. The emperor used the tenant rent of the land of the Huangzhuang as a guarantee, and could not get the land of Liaodong, so after the war, he replaced it with the tenant rent of the Huangzhuang.

What if you die in battle?

The land killed in the war was divided among the families, and the same number was made. If you don't have a small family, you are generally made bitter and hateful by Jiannu, and people are going to fight with wild boar skins, and these rewards may not be valued after death. And it can also help these soldiers rebuild their families.

If you are cowardly on the battlefield and run away, you will not only have to cut off your head, but also affect your family.

After the war, the soldiers received a large amount of land rewards, so they naturally had to hurry to disarm and return to the field, hug their wives and hot kangs, and no one would be willing to rebel with Mao Wenlong, unless Zhu Youxiao died by himself and did not fulfill his promise.
