Dayong is very concerned about the replenishment and reorganization of the soldiers, and basically soaks in the barracks located in the original water city every day. 14,000 soldiers is the number reported by the generals, but it is actually 4,000 armored soldiers, and the other is the Dongjiang soldiers who are all armed with guns. Half of these people came from the new firearms army built by Sun Yuanhua with a lot of money, and the other half were Dongjiang soldiers who responded to Kong Youde's rebellion, and there were more subordinates of Mao Chenglu in the middle.

The situation of the Dengzhou Navy Division is also worse than that reported by the chief military officer Qian Dagang, who reported 148 large and small warships, but only 125 can actually be used, and half of them are ships used for shipping, not warships, and the three large warships given by North Korea to Daming are also among them. There are 6,000 officers and men in the naval division, but only more than 1,500 can be called qualified sailors, and most of the rest are fishermen along the coast of Denglai. Water-based boats are okay, but they lack experience and skills in sea combat, which is probably one of the reasons why Qian Dagang was willing to surrender instead of resisting.

Strictly speaking, the importance of these things is actually no less important than the expansion and reorganization of the Jinzhou Army, but Dayong really has no extra energy, so he can only let go.

How to Tuntian, Daming has more than 200 years of experience to follow, as long as you do things according to the rules, you don't need to think about it, things can be done very badly. Although the 200-year-old military household system has long been rotten, Dayong believes that this is the result of a long time and various historical reasons. The method of single tuntian is still operable for Dengzhou, which has ten rooms and nine empty rooms.

For the management of these 35,000 young and strong people, Dayong also still adopts the guard system, managing the disabled officers and soldiers who retired from the old Songshan Department of the Jinzhou army, and Dayong also selected 50 officers and 500 veterans to take on the task of managing the military cantonment. Most of these officers and soldiers serve as the commanders of the Thousand Households, the Hundred Households, and the General Banner, while the candidates for the Small Banner are selected from among the young and strong.

Song Guanglan and Wang Hui expressed concern about the sudden appointment of thousands of households, hundreds of households, and general banners, because Shi Dayong himself is only the deputy general of Jinzhou, how can he have the power to appoint these thousands of households and hundreds of households, is this practice a step forward and a taboo?

In this regard, Dayong laughed, but it is an easy-to-manage name, what do you care about so much, and he himself appoints himself as the commander of the Dengzhou Guard, is he really the commander of the capital? Does Dengzhouwei really exist again? It's just for internal convenience, and it's actually no different from the captains, village heads, and township chiefs of later generations, or it's just a disguised armor protection. The left and right will not let the court know the way, the emperor is far away, and Dengzhou is afraid that no one in the court will want to clean up this mess.

Shi Dayong didn't care, Song Guanglan and they had nothing to say, don't look at the people in the city to see that they are still as awe as before, one by one, they are actually inferior to these people. People are not afraid of losing their heads, but their heads are not very stable.

In addition to the task of organizing and supervising production, Dayong also has another task for these thousands and hundreds of households, which are considered to be descendants, that is, to organize some military training for the young men under his command as much as possible during the slack time, so that they can be the same as the Jinzhou army, at least have the power to protect themselves. Now in the northwest and the Central Plains, Denglai has just experienced a great chaos, and no one knows whether Denglai will suffer from military disasters in the days to come. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare in advance, and in addition, it can also provide troops for the Jinzhou army. For this reason, Dayong specially allocated a batch of weapons to go down.

Dayong is a modern person from later generations, of course, he will not have the rigidity and conservatism of officials in this era, and while asking these young people to fulfill their obligations, he also gave a lot of rights. For example, at the end of the three-year period, they can return to their hometowns, or they can be arranged by the Jinzhou Army to settle down in Dengzhou, and they will be given land and exempted from taxes. Such preferential policies, Dayong is also exploring step by step and trying his best to do his best. After all, in his previous life, he was just an idle gambler with limited knowledge, and he had no choice but to face it in this life, just cross the river by feeling the stones. No one is born to be a master of literature and martial arts, and no one is born a genius.

The arrangements of the people in the city are also in charge of Song Guanglan and other officials, who were originally parents and officials, and this aspect is naturally their strength. Dayong did not demand that they do what they imagined, as long as they promised not to starve to death, restore the market, and let the people have fields to plant, houses to live in, a source of income, and a market to buy and sell. As for the tax issue mentioned by the demoted officials, Dayong waved his hand and said bluntly that it was all exempted. How many years is exempt? Dayong didn't know the bottom in his heart, he didn't get the consent of the imperial court to do these things in Dengzhou, and he didn't know whether the new officials would support him, so he didn't dare to open his mouth, so he said that he would be exempted for three years. Dengzhou is like this, and it would be embarrassing if the imperial court was not exempt from taxes for three years. As for the future, I will talk about it later, and the living can still suffocate to urine.

Song Guanglan mentioned one thing, that is, the Jinzhou army rescued many women who were robbed by the rebels along the way, and there were more than 10,000 people before and after, these women are now helpless, is it possible to allow them to reunite their families with the young Zhuang in Tuntian, which can be regarded as a reward for the young people, so it is sure that a considerable number of young people will continue to take root in Dengzhou after the expiration of the three-year period.

In a place, only people will prosper, and if there is no one, no matter how big the place is, it is useless. Song Guanglan is not from Dengzhou, and now they are thinking that they are just dedicated to doing the things that Dayong explained to save their lives, and they have no long-term plans for Dengzhou in the future. It was a few officials of the Dengzhou government who proposed this solution, and it was impossible for them not to grieve when they watched their hometown become ruins and watched so many people with the same surname die. When they heard that the Jinzhou Army stipulated that those young people in Tuntian could return to their hometowns after three years, they were anxious, if everyone left, with the existing population of Dengzhou, when would they be able to regain stability and prosperity.

The best way to keep men is to let them have women, if they have women, they will have children, and then there will be land given by the government, they will not naturally become Dengzhou people, where will they want to go back to the home where they don't know if Lu Dao is not there. After pondering it, the officials thought that it was a good thing to keep people, so they reported the idea. Song Guanglan They don't care, it's a good thing to think about it, and it is also a kind of relief to let the Tuntian military households digest the burden on them from these women, so why not do it.

This method is good, Song Guanglan didn't say it, Dayong almost forgot that there were thousands of women in his hands, and he also thought that he had taken in these women not just so that they could live, but to marry his subordinates.

Thinking of those subordinates who died in a foreign land with him all the way, Dayong was sad, for the dead, he could only bring their bones back to his hometown, but for the living, he could do better.

Thanks to the deep-rooted thought of Wengui and Wuqi, although it is not a peaceful year now, the idea of "good men should not be soldiers" is also the mainstream thought of the people, so the vast majority of civilians will not marry their daughters to be soldiers, which leads to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty either marrying the same military household in the guard, or they can only marry some women who are disabled or have other problems, basically women who are not wanted by others.

Right now, except for the wives of dozens of military families in the Jinzhou Army, no one else has a wife, and even Dayong has no wife. Sometimes late at night, Dayong's mind is full of women.

At a young age, you have to follow yourself to the battlefield with your head to kill the enemy, you may not be able to grow up at any time, and you have never tasted the taste of a woman when you are dying, nor can you feel the warmth of the family, and there is no blood relationship left, thinking of these, Dayong is not only sad but also heartbroken. As their general, he can't let these young people die like this, he wants to make amends for them, he wants to give them wives and start families.

Dayong said that he would do it, and immediately told Cao Bianjiao, Jiang Wanli, and Li Dashan about the idea of marrying his subordinates, and to his surprise, these subordinates did not approve of Dayong's doing. They told Dayong that if they married the soldiers and started a family, it would probably cause them to dare not fight hard after going to the battlefield, because they all wanted to go back alive.

This concern cannot but be true, but it cannot but be said to be entirely true. Dayong pondered the possibility of this good thing turning into a bad thing, and finally made up his mind, and ordered the generals to go back and convey their orders, and all officers and soldiers who were willing to marry a wife would sign up with Guo Yi, and the Jinzhou army would match them with suitable wives according to their conditions. If you don't want to start a family for the time being, you can sign up again after a period of time, in a word, as long as you want to start a family, Dayong will satisfy them, and your subordinates will not be allowed to stop you.

Dayong insisted on this, and Cao Bianjiao and they had nothing to say, so they had to go back to execute. On the same day, more than 400 officers and soldiers from the Jinzhou headquarters signed up to marry wives, and many others were waiting and watching.

After hearing the news, the generals also rushed to Dayong to ask for wives for their subordinates, but Dayong refused to ask for them, telling them that at present, they can only marry the soldiers of the Jinzhou army, and their original subordinates have to wait for the next batch. And this wife is not everyone can marry, and the conditions must be met, and this condition is that only those who have served in the Jinzhou Army for three years and have not escaped or been beheaded to the fifth level.

Hearing this condition, the generals could only shake their heads and disperse, they also came with the idea of joining in the fun, but they didn't have the idea of marrying a wife for their former subordinates. Now Shi Dayong's conditions are obviously a threshold, and they are also a touchstone to test their loyalty. The generals knew that none of their subordinates could meet this requirement, so they should not join in the fun. Anyway, Shi Dayong didn't close the door to death, isn't there still three years, and it doesn't seem to be a difficult thing to behead the fifth level, when he rebelled, who didn't cut the tenth or eighth level.

The deadline for registration was three days, and in the end, 824 people signed up to marry wives, including more than 60 people from Songshan, more than 400 children of Changping who joined the army, and the first batch of Yuan Chen rebels who surrendered and participated in the battle of Xiaoguantun. They don't care what kind of wife they marry, everything is arranged by the above.

Dayong didn't take this old errand into his own hands, but pushed it to Song Guanglan and them, and the time limit was ten days. Within ten days, the officers and soldiers must have a wife and a place to live in the city.

This stumped Song Guanglan and the others, and they really couldn't pull their faces to do this matchmaking thing, and finally pushed it on the few proposed officials. Since you brought it up, it is up to you to deal with the aftermath.

Those little officials are capable, they are all local snakes in Dengzhou, which family that survived by luck has a daughter who can be married, they are Qing, in line with the idea of patting the Jinzhou army's fart, the first thing they think of is not the thousands of women who have been taken captive by the rebels.

For a time, the scribes of Dengzhou Yamen all became matchmakers, and the bride price given by Shi Dayong was also good, in addition to the houses in Dengzhou City (ten rooms and nine empty in the city, there are not too many ownerless houses) and 30 acres of land, and another 100 taels of silver to settle in, and you can also enjoy dividends from the harvest of Tuntian's fields every year. The bride's parents can also receive a bride price of 50 taels of silver, and enjoy the right to see officials and not worship.

The original big families in the city have long been robbed and killed by the rebels, and there are not many daughters left who can marry, barely dozens. This number is obviously too far from the requirements of the more than 800 wives of the Jinzhou Army, so the eyes of the little officials are on those who have moved from the surrounding prefectures and counties, and in the face of their constant lobbying and rich bride price, how can these families who have picked up their lives from under the butcher's knife disagree.

Although it is unsafe to marry his daughter to be a soldier, and it is still looked down upon, it is a good way out compared to living a hard life with him, and isn't it a show of talent if he doesn't worship the official? I can't read a word anymore, but now I can be the same as Xiucai, this is the ancestor who burned high incense.

As soon as the ten-day deadline arrived, more than 800 brides were finally gathered, and Dayong gave an order, and there was no need to do it door-to-door, which was too time-consuming, and he didn't have much time to delay in Dengzhou. Just hold a wedding collectively.

The host of the wedding was Song Guanglan, Wang Hui and other officials were also forced to participate in it by Dayong's forced order, and the wedding was not set to be held elsewhere. After the most Dayong's table, the Dengzhou governor's yamen is still empty, and it is not damaged, the place is quite big, what are you doing empty? It is most suitable for a wedding reception.

The choice of this location frightened Song Guanglan and them, it was the Yamen of the Governor of Denglai! Although the two governors are loyal to the country, and the court has not appointed a new governor, but after all, this yamen is the office of the Ming Dynasty's feudal officials, how can it be used to hold any wedding banquet, this still needs the face of the government, if the court knows how to get it!

Dayong still doesn't care, he doesn't care about the official face at all, under his strength, what else can Song Guanglan and the others do, just arrange it honestly. Although they really have no experience in this collective wedding, they have also participated in the wedding banquet of large families, dozens of hundreds of tables are not uncommon, this collective wedding is also to set more tables, the newlyweds in several batches to Shi Dayong to pay homage is, other worship parents will leave you to go home by yourself symbolically kowtow.

More than 800 couples got married, and the generals of the Jinzhou Army, plus the presiding Dengzhou officials, the woman's relatives and friends, had at least 500 tables. No matter how big the governor's yamen is, it can't put so many tables, and in the end, Dayong got the idea, there are officers in the yamen, and soldiers outside the yamen, anyway, the front in front of the yamen is very wide.

On the day of the wedding, the officers in charge of procurement were really busy and dizzy, and Jiang Wanli in Laizhou not only bought all the beef and mutton and the items used for the wedding in Laizhou, but also sent people to the surrounding prefectures and counties to purchase, which made the people in those places curious: which big family did this big wedding event.

After accepting the last batch of newcomers to salute him, Dayong took Cao Bianjiao and Li Dashan to hide in the back hall of the yamen and drank well. That night, Dayong was drunk and unconscious. Fortunately, Jiang Wanli, Song Qing, Guo Cheng, and Wang Tiande, who rushed back from Laizhou, were maintaining them outside, but there was no chaos.
