In addition to asking the rich and big families to take out the money to help the labor army, for the ordinary people, it can basically be said that there is no crime in the autumn, on the contrary, after arriving in a place, they will often take out some money and grain, give a certain amount of relief to the local people who have suffered from famine or banditry, and severely crack down on some local ruffians and hooligans who have caused trouble to the people.

After a few years, as long as the common people heard about the arrival of the official army, the common people of ten miles and eight villages would immediately disperse and flee into the mountains to hide, but now as long as they heard that the official army under the command of Yu Xiaotian had arrived, the common people no longer ran, not only did they not run, but they often helped the old and the young to run to the side of the road to welcome them, and even did not hesitate to take out their extremely limited storage of food, even if it was to take out an egg, to express their hearts.

This made the officials in many places in Fujian look sideways when they saw such a scene, and they couldn't figure out how Yu Xiaotian, as the leader of the thieves who was recruited, could be so good at controlling the army and controlling the army, and so obediently training the soldiers and horses under his command, and he could actually rectify the officers and soldiers under his command so obediently.

In fact, it is no wonder that in the past, some officers and soldiers were serfs of some military generals, and these soldiers were engaged in farming in their spare time, and they had to farm and pay grain to the generals, and they could not get a little military salary to support their families all year round, so they would inevitably have resentment against the generals.

And for these stolen and robbed money, they can use the bulk of their own pockets to fill their own pockets, and they can also boost their morale to some extent, so that these soldiers will not go into battle against the enemy, because of the resentment in their hearts, they will scatter and even defect to the battle, so if the military discipline of the Ming officers and soldiers is good, it will be really hell.

But Yu Xiaotian controls the troops, but there are no shortcomings of them, but whenever it is attributed to the officers and soldiers under Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian often first sets up all the old generals as soon as possible, and then screens the officers and soldiers, leaving honest and healthy soldiers, and dismantling those soldiers and old and weak soldiers, and recruiting new soldiers to supplement the soldiers.

For these soldiers, Yu Xiaotian ordered them all to take off production, specialize in military training, and transfer from the status of serfs to professional soldiers, although the government owed wages from time to time, but Yu Xiaotian never owed these soldiers food and salary, and paid them regularly and in full every month, so that they could have money to support their families, so that they would not be forced to become soldiers because they had no money to support their families, and they had to find ways to do some side jobs while being forced to become soldiers.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian paid out of his own pocket, but whenever there were casualties among his officers and soldiers during the war, the wounded were treated, the disabled were properly resettled, and the war dead were given high pensions to their families.

In this way, officers and soldiers are also human beings, of course, they know who is good to them, and they are naturally willing to order and prohibit filial piety, and follow Yu Xiaotian to work hard, because they can get a full amount of money every month, and they can be rewarded for meritorious service.

After Yu Xiaotian's rectification, it is difficult to corrupt the military discipline of his subordinates, these soldiers treat him as a god, and they can be said to be loyal, everyone knows that they can live such a good life now, it is given by Yu Xiaotian, otherwise they are still the same as before, living a dark day of being oppressed by the generals every day.

Therefore, as long as an army is under the control of Xiaotian, it will soon be refreshed by Yu Xiaotian's rectification and become strict in military discipline.

As long as an army has strict military discipline and soldiers dare to use their lives, even if they are not very well trained, they can still burst out with quite strong combat effectiveness, not to mention that after they are transferred to professional soldiers, they can eat enough every day, and then they have to conduct full training every day, even if most of the officers and soldiers are not equipped with brand-new weapons like Yu Xiaotian's lineage, and still use the old weapons from before, but the combat effectiveness is still a hundred times higher than in the past.

At the beginning of the third year of the Apocalypse, there was such an incident, a miscellaneous army that had just been incorporated by Yu Xiaotian was defeated by a group of bandits because of the disadvantage of suppressing bandits, but when they were just absorbed by Yu Xiaotian, in less than three months, they were still this army and horses, but they were led by officers under Yu Xiaotian's lineage, and the strength was even less than one-third of the past, and they encountered the same group of bandits in one place.

When this gang of bandits learned that the officers and soldiers on the opposite side were the officers and soldiers who had been beaten by them before, they were immediately overjoyed, and they rushed up to surround this army with hulala, thinking that they would definitely be able to defeat them in one fell swoop like the last time, and beat them again.

But this bandit never thought that it was still the same army, and this time when the number of troops was so small, one by one it was like taking chun's medicine, and they did not retreat from the battle, under the leadership of the officer, shouting a fierce battle, and the large group of bandits could not attack for a long time, but they were finally defeated and fled, and they were chased by them like maggots on tarsal bones for three days, until all of them wiped out this gang of bandits.

The leader of this gang of bandits couldn't figure out what had happened to him until he died, and he was able to turn this group of officers and soldiers into such a capable fighter in just a few months.

The same person, when he gets the treatment he deserves, has no grievances in his heart, no worries about the future, and naturally has a lot of worries on the battlefield, of course, he is willing to use his life, a person who dares to use his life, compared with a person who hates being an official and is full of grievances in his chest, can exert combat effectiveness, which is not only a layer or two differences.

Therefore, the officers and troops under the control of Yu Xiaotian can come and go in Fujian and be invincible, but the same officers and soldiers who are not under the jurisdiction of Yu Xiaotian are often weak in combat and demoralized, although they dare not say that they will be defeated in every battle, but it is difficult to compare with the soldiers and horses under Yu Xiaotian's command.

Some generals couldn't figure out why they handed over the soldiers to Yu Xiaotian, and these rotten soldiers could immediately become vigorous and become a group of fierce soldiers, but in their hands, they were all like leprosy dogs, with a virtue that couldn't support the wall.

Some people later discovered that as long as some officers and soldiers were handed over to Yu Xiaotian, they could often get their salaries in full and on a regular basis, and those who served as soldiers would never starve or owe wages, so they were resentful and felt that the peak was unfair, and they were all officers and soldiers, and Yu Xiaotian's subordinates did not owe salaries, but they owed them salaries.

These generals are looking for Shangfeng to make a fuss, and after such a fuss, they realized that in fact, Yu Xiaotian's side did not get a full amount of food and salary as they thought, but Yu Xiaotian paid out of his own pocket and paid his subordinates, so these turtles suddenly shrank their necks one by one, and they all held their breath.

This group of people think about it, even if the government allocates food and salary to them in time and in full, except for some of the money and food that was deducted by those officials who were transferred during the period, most of them have to be deducted by themselves to fill their own pockets, so that the food and salary that can really be paid to the hands of the soldiers have long been gone, and it is no wonder that as soon as the soldiers arrived under Yu Xiaotian, they became vigorous.

In this way, these Fujian generals naturally have no fart to put off, they can only carry a stomach of unhappiness, can only knock out their teeth and swallow in the stomach, who let Yu Xiaotian have a lot of money, willing to do such a stupid thing, and are willing to pay the officers and soldiers out of their own pockets, and their gang, not only will not do this, but instead rely on the oppression of their subordinates as soldiers, they have to drink the blood of soldiers to fill their pockets, if their subordinates are willing to work with them before the battle, then it is really a donkey to kick, since this matter is no wonder the peak is unfair, Then they naturally didn't dare to make any more trouble.

However, those officers and soldiers who could not be attributed to Yu Xiaotian's subordinates, after hearing about these things, became more and more unhappy than the people who were more popular, and they were even more unwilling to serve under their generals.

In this way, Fujian's officers and troops can be said to be even more polarized, but almost all the officers and soldiers under Yu Xiaotian's jurisdiction are high-spirited, have strict military discipline, and dare to use their lives.

And those officials and soldiers who are not under the jurisdiction of Yu Xiaotian are full of complaints, their morale is declining, they will flee in every battle, they will be defeated in battle, and there are even a large number of deserters, many of whom are soldiers, would rather risk being caught and killed, abandon their identity as soldiers, and secretly flee to Yu Xiaotian's side, even if they are not soldiers, they will get them to Taiwan Island to farm, they are not willing to work for the former generals anymore.

By the time of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, in the entire military system of Fujian, it can almost be said that only the officers and troops controlled by Yu Xiaotian still had the strength to fight a war, and the remaining officers and troops controlled by the generals had reached an outrageous level.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and seeing that it has entered the fourth year of Chongzhen, Yu Xiaotian is wearing a linen cardigan with a very simple cut, sitting in the study, shaking a big pu fan in his hand, fanning the cold, and a bowl of sour plum soup with ice cubes in front of him, while dealing with the official business at hand, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked Lin Yiyang, who was sitting opposite:

"By the way, Mr. Lin, what I arranged for you to do at the beginning of the year is now any feedback from there?"

By the way, dare to ask the brothers, who still has a monthly pass? Don't waste it! Hehe! In addition, special thanks to the cryosun brothers for their tip!
