Chapter 64: The Return
On the evening of November 30th, holding a Wuji spear and straddle a BMW that was unique in ten thousands, Ye Teng appeared in the territory of Tianma City, and Cai Hui and Lin Feng rushed to hear the news. In the blink of an eye for more than two months, there are many words to exchange with each other, but there is a difference between respect and humility, and a thousand words have turned into one sentence: "Participate in the lord!" ”
"Okay, Chengye and Boyuan, you have all worked hard."
"The lord is hard!"
"Boyuan, I'm coming back this time to bring back the Han people who were plundered to the grassland by the Xianbei people, and the Xianbei female prisoners, about 100,000 people, I don't know if you are doing a good job of receiving it?"
"Lord, everything is ready, the house and related daily necessities are basically ready."
"Bo Yuan's actions are reassuring. It's just that this time the work may be a little more complicated, I hope you can do it more carefully. ”
"Please command, my lord!"
"First, most of these Hermes-Epitek people have experienced the butcher's knives of foreign races, and they have lost their families and relatives, and the hardships during this period are not enough for outsiders, so you should not only arrange for them to eat, live and work, but also let them feel the warmth of home, so that they have the enthusiasm and courage to continue to live.
"Second, the reason why they were able to survive among the Han people captives who did not survive was that they were traitors, of course, that part has been eliminated by me, most of the Han people have a skill, you have to do a good job of identification, give full play to their skills, and work for the territory.
"Third, master-level talents are what we urgently need, as the deputy city lord in charge of the territory work, you know better than me, I need you to dig it up and see if you can find one or two, I didn't screen it before due to the urgency of time.
"Fourth, as far as I know, there are two great generals in the land of Bingzhou, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and the batch of Han prisoners I brought back come from all over Bingzhou.
"Fifth, there are more than 30,000 young and strong female prisoners this time. Prior to this, the ratio of men and women in our territory was seriously imbalanced, so these women needed to be assigned to the members of our territory as wives and concubines. When I was out on the campaign, I promised that the soldiers who went out on the expedition could be selected first by those with high merits. I think that this time, it will be distributed according to the ratio of 50% of the soldiers who went out to fight, 20% of the soldiers left behind, and 30% of the people, and then according to the order of merit. At this point, the two of you have to work closely together. ”
After speaking, he looked at Cai Hui and Lin Feng.
"No!" The two agreed in unison.
"Chengye, the soldiers who went out on the expedition, the casualties, you must do a good job of pacifying and compensating. At the same time, you must lead Xie Gengxin, Zhou Tai and other generals to do a good job in the work of meritorious statistics, and meritorious service will be rewarded! ”
"No!"
"If I'm not mistaken, since the end of the Yellow Turban Uprising, there are more than 20,000 bandits captured in our territory and Qianbi Village through payment, and then you will be given a month to fill the gap in the casualties of this expedition, and at the same time, all the bandit captives in the future will be converted into garrisons in our territory, except for those who are really unsuitable to continue to be soldiers and are unwilling to be soldiers, and strengthen military training, so that they can become an effective supplement to the source of soldiers in our territory."
"No!"
"Also, a recruitment work can be held in the territory once a year, in line with the principle of voluntariness, the best of the best, the number of selected soldiers at a time, no more than 1% of the total population of the territory, can be less, but absolutely not exceeded! This matter will be a permanent example in the future! "The recruitment policy in the territory has been thinking about it in Ye Teng's mind for a long time, and today it was finally finalized through this small meeting.
"No!"
"It's getting late today, so let's go to the barracks first, let the soldiers come out, and do a good job of settling them down. The Han people and the Xianbei captives will come back tomorrow. ”
"No!" The two of them spoke in unison.
In the next three days, Ye Teng also followed Lin Feng, Cai Hui and others, busily resettling Han people and female prisoners, rewarding meritorious soldiers, and compensating the casualties.
Finally, with the efforts of everyone, a relatively complete statistics were made on the harvest of the Northern Expedition:
1. Although there were casualties among the soldiers on the expedition, their levels were improved, and their combat experience was richer, especially when the grassland tribes were more vigilant in the later period, many times they were actually fighting head-on, and the ability of the cavalry was greatly improved, so the overall combat effectiveness of the troops did not decrease but increased.
2. A total of more than 68,000 people have been rescued from the foreign butcher's knife, these people are grateful for Ye Teng's life-saving grace, and their families are ruined and there is nowhere to go, and after everyone chooses to join Tianma City, their loyalty is not low. And among them, Li Sheng, a master-level herdsman, Lu Dayong, a master-level carpenter, and more than 20 senior craftsmen were found, and the qualifications of these people were generally not low, and there were many people with B-level or above qualifications, which greatly enriched the overall heritage of the territory.
3. There were more than 35,000 Xianbei female prisoners, which greatly alleviated the current situation of more men and fewer women in the original territory. The successful ratio of men to women has changed from about seven to three to nearly six to one to three to nine, which has greatly eliminated the hidden dangers.
4. The northern expedition harvested more than 26,000 war horses, completely changing the situation of overstretched war horses in the original territory. Just like the embargo on grassland iron tools in the Central Plains, the war horses imported from the grassland to the Central Plains are basically geldings. Therefore, from now on, Pegasus City will not only be able to equip all the cavalry with war horses, but also allow the territory to truly establish pastures and raise its own war horses.
5. More than one million horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, of course, mainly sheep, which can not only provide sufficient cattle for the territory, but also sufficient transport capacity, so that the territory can develop its own animal husbandry, and will greatly improve the dietary structure of the territory.
6. The seized gold coins amounted to 920,000 yuan, and the estimated value of gold, silver and jewelry was also about 100,000 yuan.
7. There are many other weapons, armor, food, and resources.
After leaving 800,000 gold for this seizure, Ye Teng handed over all other things to Lin Feng, Cai Hui and others, so that they could carry out army construction and territory construction more smoothly.
Next, Ye Teng spent a few more days sorting out some of the administrative work of the territory, participating in the celebration of the soldiers on the expedition, the reward banquet, and some other territorial activities.
On December 7, he returned to the county seat and went to the Li Medical Center to retreat for alchemy and practice martial arts.
On December 26, Ye Teng suddenly received a message from Lin Feng: Among the Han people who returned south from the grassland, there was a person named Zhang Xian who knew Zhang Liao's whereabouts.
Zhang Xian, 32 years old this year, a senior miner, because of the nature of his work, when the Xianbei people went south to fight the grass valley, he happened to be prospecting in the field and was taken away by the Xianbei people, and it has been more than three years.
According to Zhang Xian, because he was taken captive alone, his family is still in the Yin Pavilion of Yanmen County, and he just has a nephew named Zhang Liao who has just come out of Wufu, 16 years old this year, I don't know if it is the person the lord is looking for?
As soon as Ye Teng saw that he could match the number, he asked the territory to send a general to send this person over, and specially explained that the safety of this person must be guaranteed.
