Now there are a total of five soldiers and horses that can be removed from Dengzhou. First, he expanded the Jinzhou army with 800 soldiers to the south, with 4,600 soldiers; The second is the young and strong captives captured in Pingdugou, which originally had more than 4,000 people, but more than 700 were slaughtered and eaten on the way to Dengzhou, leaving less than 3,500 people. The third is the Dongjiang soldiers captured after the Battle of Zhuqiao and the main force of the rebels who recruited them from afar, which have the largest number of soldiers, with nearly 50,000 people. Fourth, Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming, who surrendered in Laizhou, also had 2,000 Dongjiang soldiers under Mao Chenglu, probably about 12,000. The last part is the Dengzhou Naval Division, with a total of 6,000 people under the total number of soldiers under Qian Dagang. The five soldiers and horses together have nearly 100,000 people, this number is definitely not a soldier and horse that Dayong can afford, and it is also something that the imperial court will never allow. If he wants to raise 100,000 soldiers, unless the entire Liao Town is in the hands of Dayong, it will be impossible for him to rack his brains.

Moreover, since Songshan, Dayong has always walked the road of elite soldiers, he is convinced that the soldiers are not many but fine, and a small number of elite soldiers play a role far more than tens of thousands of rabble, and the war since the south has fully proved this.

Five parts of the people, Jinzhou's own army Dayong will definitely not be cut, and he does not plan to cut the Dengzhou Naval Division, because he still has to rely on the naval division's warships. Excluding these two parts, the remaining three groups of centaurs bear the brunt.

First of all, he recruited Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongyi, Li Zhongfu, Xiang Chong, Gao Huai, Lin Tai, Du Guo, Shen Yi, Liang Dao and other generals to his temporary military tent, and told them openly and honestly that the Jinzhou army could not afford to support their soldiers and horses, and the imperial court would not allow them to continue to have their own private soldiers, so it was imperative to dismiss their soldiers and horses.

"Whether you want a head or glory, it's all in your thoughts."

Dayong was not worried at all that any of the generals present would resist the order of disarmament, and these senior generals who were five or six of the rebels were actually mostly thousands of generals, and compared with his honest Jinzhou generals, the difference in rank was not one or two points. Besides, these nouveau riche have long been frightened by themselves, where do they dare to have the courage to bargain with Shi Dayong.

"Those people under my command are all strong men from Shandong, it is difficult to serve as auxiliaries, and it is a waste of food for our Jinzhou army to keep them, the general does not mention it, and the last general has long wanted to disband them." The first to express support was Xiang Pet, who gathered more than 4,000 people. He is an interesting and understanding person, he knows how many bones he has, and he also knows who his future wealth depends on, so as soon as Dayong's words fell, he became the first person to respond to the call.

Xiang Pet took the lead, Gao Huai, Lin Tai and others also followed, and expressed their support, and a few of them were still a little red-eyed and shouted that Xiang Pet that kid was robbed, you must know that after Lu Dao surrendered to Shi Dayong, there were not many opportunities to show loyalty in front of him.

Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming were still a little worried in their hearts, fearing that after their soldiers and horses were cut, they would have no status in the Jinzhou army, but seeing Gao Huai's swarm of responses to disarmament, the two could only express their support. What else should I do? Gao Huai, Xiang Pet and them plus a piece of nearly 50,000 people agreed to cut, the two of them are only more than 10,000 men, and the real soldiers are only more than 3,000 people, and they don't need those guys to do it to them for the sake of inviting merit, and the cavalry of the Jinzhou Army can wipe them out.

How the 3,000 Liaodong cavalry outside Xiaoguantun were defeated, and how miserable the defeat was, Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming remembered it clearly in their hearts, and now they are a little afraid of it, if the two of them made trouble with Mao Chenglu that day, they were afraid that they would have gone to the Yellow Spring to meet Li Jiucheng and Kong Youde.

Geng Zhongming is actually the culprit of the destruction of Dengzhou City, ranking in the top few of the list of rebels who must be killed by the imperial court, and now he is still in the name of the remnants of the rebels. If you want to continue to rebel, you don't have the strength and courage anymore, and now he can't do anything else except be honest and obedient.

The response of the generals was so fast that Dayong was a little surprised, he thought that someone would stand up and talk to him about the price, but now it's good, he is completely responsive, and he doesn't even have to take out the threatening words that are ready, it's really hello, hello, hello, everyone. This feels like being stuffy with a "three A's" and all the players are desperate.

"Well, since you are so well aware of the righteousness, Ben Jiang has nothing to say, your merits are all in the hearts of Ben General, and on the side of the court, Ben Jiang will definitely fight for you."

didn't want to make trouble, so Dayong stopped talking nonsense and asked Lin Junyi to tell the generals about the plan for removal.

First of all, each general will truthfully report the number of soldiers under his subordinates, whether they are armored or not, whether they are guns or other arms, whether they were Dongjiang soldiers or not, whether they were Dongjiang soldiers must be reported in detail, and then these soldiers will all be accepted and reformed by the Jinzhou army, correspondingly, the Jinzhou army will also take out a group of officer positions to install these generals and subordinate officers, and will also be rewarded. When Lin Junyi introduced, Dayong deliberately interjected to tell the generals that he would definitely report to the Ministry of War on the appointment of these officers. Hearing this, the eyes of the generals suddenly lit up, and their hearts and eyes suddenly came alive.

After the soldiers were concentrated, the rest of the people counted how many young and strong people were forcibly pulled, how many bandits were attached to the green forest, and how many were old and weak. After the number of people is counted, the young and strong will all be transferred to Tuntian military households, and the old and weak will be resettled in Dengzhou City, and those who want to return to their hometowns will also be sent to Pantang to let them go back. As for the bandits who robbed their homes and houses, they were all accepted by the Jinzhou army, and they were selected to be strong and strong, and the old and weak were arranged according to the methods of the soldiers.

After Lin Junyi read it, Dayong asked the generals if they had any opinions, and the generals said that they had no opinions, and everything was at the disposal of the generals. At that moment, Dayong asked them to go back to count, and after the statistics came up, the Jinzhou Army coordinated with the Dengzhou officials to deal with them.

After three full days of statistics, there were 14,000 soldiers (including selected bandits) who were truthfully reported by various departments, 35,000 were young and strong, and the remaining 17,000 were old, weak, sick and disabled. More than 4,000 of the 17,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people chose to return to their hometowns, and after sending them to be entangled, Dayong gave them ten taels of silver, telling them that this was a reward for their previous expedition to the west, which was regarded as a fulfillment of the promise.

There are many people who want to return home to the 35,000 young people, and their origins are very complicated, including those from Beizhili, Shandong, Denglai, and even some from Hebei and Gyeonggi. Dayong rejected their request to return to their hometown, and clearly told them that if they wanted to return to their hometown, they would first have to plant land in Dengzhou for three years, and at the end of the three-year period, the Jinzhou army would issue travel expenses and silver rewards to return to their hometowns.

This condition does not allow for bargaining, and whoever does not want to do so will directly serve as a military and civilian husband. With such a strict order, the young man who wants to return to his hometown can only reluctantly agree to stay in Dengzhou, but fortunately, the longest is only three years, and he can go home after the three-year period, and he can also get a considerable amount of money, which is much stronger than returning to his hometown empty-handed now. Besides, An Ansheng's three-year farming is much better than being a civilian husband for the official army, and the latter will be in danger of his life at any time.
