After the Song and Jin wars, Ji Xian recruited Shi Si and Ge Ping to rebel armies, and was promoted to the jurisdiction of Jingdong Luzhan to lead the Lianshui Loyal Rebel Army.

Meng Jiucheng believed that the surrender of the rebels to the Song Dynasty was beneficial to the Red Turban Army, at least stronger than the surrender of the Jin Army or the Mongol Army.

As for capricious guys like Shi Si and Xia Quan, Meng Jiucheng didn't want to recruit at all, and there was no problem of Ji Xian grabbing resources.

Liu You and Ji Xian retreated happily, and Meng Jiucheng summoned the city lord Hu Youde to explain the matter of sending the media to the appointment.

"Congratulations to the general, congratulations to the general." Hu Youde bowed down and said hello again and again.

"The dowry is procured in the city, and the sooner the better." Meng Jiucheng asked Hu Youde to ask someone to carry the box away, and there were more than a dozen pieces of gold inside, "If it's not enough, take it from the treasury first, and I'll make up for it later." ”

"The general can rest assured, he will do it at his humble post, and he will definitely do it thoroughly." Hu Youde promised and withdrew.

Gold and silver jewelry, satin cloth, clothes and bedding, and tea cakes, which were indispensable in the Song Dynasty (dowry gifts are also known as "tea ceremony", "tea ceremony" or "tea ceremony").

The most valuable thing is the dressing mirror, which is worth nearly 10,000 yuan in Yang Miaozhen's opinion.

Although at that time, people would determine the amount of the bride price according to their own social status and the economic status of the other party's family. But even the most frugal people will be extraordinarily generous in the dowry, thinking that it is a matter of face.

The status of Meng Jiucheng and Yang Miaozhen also determines that this dowry cannot be sloppy. In this regard, Meng Jiucheng has already prepared a large box of gold and silver jewelry, which is enough to support his face, and shows that he cherishes Yang Miaozhen.

As for the dowry, Meng Jiucheng didn't pick it. Anyway, it will be a family in the future, and Yang Miaozhen has accompanied nearly 10,000 people!

Meng Jiucheng is still quite confident in whether he can get along well after getting married. Don't look at Yang Miaozhen's martial arts, but she can't get rid of the thinking concept of women at that time.

In history, Yang Miaozhen married Li Quan, although she was not a husband and a child, she was also maintained everywhere, willing to be in a lower position, and even allowed Li Quan to accept a concubine. After Li Quan's death, Yang Miaozhen did not remarry, but from the beginning.

Being born in ancient times and being a man is really a blessing.

As for women like Pan Jinlian, there are still very few in the end.

Meng Jiucheng looked forward to it and sighed.

Although Yang Miaozhen is not stunning, she can be regarded as a middle-class appearance. The toned body and shy smile appeared in front of Meng Jiucheng's eyes from time to time.

……………

Jimo to Qingdao is only more than 40 miles away, and when it was nearly dusk, Yang Miaozhen and others had already entered the city.

On the way, Yang Miaozhen discussed with Wang Min that she would not talk about the proposal for the time being, and wait until the matchmaker and dowry arrived, and then make it public.

Of course, Liu Quan, as his maternal uncle, is still the deputy marshal, and Yang Miaozhen and Wang Min still have to ask for his consent in private.

Moreover, Yang Miaozhen also brought back the reorganization plan, which was also to be discussed with Liu Quan and Wang Min.

After dinner, Wang Min invited Yang Miaozhen and Liu Quan to secretly discuss opportunities at his residence.

Liu Quan did not object to family affairs, and he seemed very pleased.

After all, Yang Miaozhen is also not young, at the age of twenty, if it is an ordinary woman, she has already held a doll of several years old. If it weren't for the war, Yang Miaozhen would have gotten married a long time ago.

"Meng Jiucheng is good, worthy of Miaozhen." Liu Quan stroked his beard and bowed slightly, "It's not easy to find conditions that surpass him!" Miao Zhen only talked about marriage at such an age, but it was really his uncle's. Now that the family affair is about to be completed, I, who is an uncle, can rest assured. ”

Yang Miaozhen's face was slightly red, and she said in a low voice: "It's all up to my uncle." ”

Wang Min has already communicated with Liu Quan and knows that family affairs are fine. He had also read the reorganized charter and felt that it was the focus of the discussion.

"Vice-marshal, please see." Wang Min took the document, handed it to Liu Quan, and said: "This is the consolidated charter, I think it is basically feasible." There are only a few stubs, which are not yet certain. ”

Liu Quan's culture is not high, so he was too lazy to read these headache-inducing words, so he said to Wang Min: "The military advisor can just tell a certain family." ”

Wang Min explained according to his words that there was no problem in accommodating the old and weak soldiers and their families, and it was even more thoughtful than what they could do now.

The reorganization of the armed forces is also acceptable, and the salaries and salaries of the armed forces are more generous than they are now.

There is only one point, Meng Jiucheng hopes that the generals of Yang Miaozhen's department will conduct some training, or form a staff group, and accept the staff officers he sends.

"If you talk about the experience accumulated from many battles with the Jin Army, even the Red Turban Army can't compare to us, right?" Liu Quan really asked, "Doesn't he obviously look down on us?" ”

Yang Miaozhen hurriedly explained: "It's not like this. General Meng communicated with me on this matter, and the Red Turban Army's weaponry and fighting style were different from ours, and they did not understand and master, and it was easy to make mistakes in leading the army. ”

After a pause, she added: "If you don't believe it, in a few days, a battalion of the Red Turban Army will come and practice tactics for our army." ”

The girl is outgoing, and before she gets married, she helps the man speak.

Although Liu Quan thought so, he didn't say it, but followed Yang Miaozhen's words and said: "Practicing tactics is a good way, you must see it with your own eyes to convince everyone." Especially those generals who have been in battle for a long time, they feel that they are not ambiguous. ”

Wang Min smiled and said: "General Meng's words are still very true, he said that the equipment and tactics are different, and the Red Turban Army must have some winning methods that we don't know yet." Although the Red Turban Army didn't seem to have fought a few battles with the Jin Army, the land of Sanzhou was not easy to get. If Liu Erzu and the others hadn't taken a fancy to the combat strength of the Red Turban Army, they would not have entered into an offensive and defensive alliance with the Red Turban Army. ”

"The military advisor has a point." Liu Quan's opposition has decreased a lot, and he muttered: "Since Meng Jiucheng has confidence, let's just watch the drill." ”

Wang Min nodded, agreed, and said, "Another thing to pay attention to is the issue of military discipline. I've seen the military laws and regulations of the Red Turban Army, and they are very strict. And our army is a little loose compared to it. If it is suddenly implemented in the army, some people are afraid that there will be complaints. ”

"Military discipline is strict, and orders and prohibitions are not the characteristics of a strong army?" Yang Miaozhen smiled bitterly and said: "In the past, I was helpless and unable to loot, and I turned to the Quartet, and the things that harmed and injured the people were not severely punished. Now that we have to settle down and take root, and the people are also the people under our rule, can't we treat them well? ”

Liu Quan didn't speak, and looked at Wang Min.

Wang Min thought for a while and said, "Qu Shuai is reasonable. The establishment of a military justice department and the establishment of a law enforcement team are not a big move. Doesn't our army also have similar institutions, but law enforcement is lax. ”

"As long as the law is enforced fairly, as long as the soldiers are told first, there is no opinion." Liu Quan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
