"Call the big man to Pontus."

Zhang Shun hurriedly called the big man over, The big man walked over with a numb face, his physique was very large, but he had no temperament, Ling Jingyang asked.

"What's the name?"

"Adult, the small one is called Sun Datou."

This big man is Zhang Shun's soldier, Zhang Shun thought that Ling Jingyang took a fancy to his big man and could earn him a lot of face, this time, the name was really rude, he scolded: "What the hell, return the grandson to the big head, who gave you the name?" ”

Sun Datou touched his head and said embarrassedly: "My lord, the small one is a military household in Fengyang Mansion, and I have a big head since I was a child, and everyone has been calling me Sun Datou, my real name, I forgot." ”

The surrounding recruits burst into laughter, and Ling Jingyang suddenly heard the word "military household", and glared at the surroundings, and suddenly the crowd fell silent.

"Sun Datou, you said you are a military household?"

Sun Datou was so frightened by the sudden coldness that he didn't dare to speak, and when Ling Jingyang asked him anything, he shook his head numbly, saying that he didn't know.

Zhang Shun couldn't wait to give this stupid big man a punch.

"My lord asked you, are you a military household?"

"Oh, oh, these of us are all military households in Fengyang Mansion, there are hundreds of people, General Zhang is recruiting troops in Fengyang Mansion, I heard that we can fill our stomachs, and we are all back again."

Ling Jingyang was very interested and asked Sun Datou how many military households there were in Fengyang Mansion?

Sun Datou thought for a while and told everyone that Fengyang Mansion was broken by the Great Western Army in the early years, killing and wounding many military households, and a small number of military households surrendered to Zhang Xianzhong, but there were still some military households hiding in the mountains and becoming ordinary people.

It was also this time that Zhang Shun went to Fengyang Mansion to recruit troops, and asked his subordinates to bring grain, grass and silver to recruit soldiers on the spot, which recruited a lot of military households, which is a very good source of soldiers, Ling Jingyang decided to reorganize the military households in Fengyang Mansion, not only Fengyang Mansion, but also Luzhou Mansion, Ningguo Mansion, Taiping Mansion and other military households must be organized.

Before, he didn't have the ability to organize, first, there was not enough food and grass, and second, there was not enough silver, but now he has the support of Du Yinxi and Jin Sheng, which is enough to feed the soldiers in these places.

Not only that, but he also has one

A grand plan, that is, Wang Mu and He Zhen settled in Ganzhou Mansion and garrisoned the army there, at that time, he led the army from the north to the south, and He Zhen led the army from the north to the south.

At the same time, the soldiers and horses of the two routes launched the incorporation of the armies of the prefectures in Jiangxi, achieving the goal of improving the strength of the army and expanding the territory at one time.

Zhang Shun's recruitment in Fengyang Mansion was particularly successful, Ling Jingyang ordered Zhang Shun that as many military households in Fengyang Mansion should be levied as many as they wanted, don't worry about grain, grass and military salaries, Zhang Shun was eager to recruit troops in Fengyang Mansion, he went out to recruit soldiers, Ling Jingyang took his two ladies and wandered around Fengyang Mansion for a few days.

Zhang Shun recruited another 2,000 recruits in a few days, most of them were military households with military experience, Ling Jingyang looked at the growth of Zhang Shun's troops, and thought to himself that there should be many military households in other places.

He decided to embark on the road back to Ningguofu, and when he returned to Ningguofu, he took Zhang Shun to recruit 1,000 recruits in Fengyang Mansion, and these 1,000 recruits were all real military households and veterans with combat foundation.

was taken away by the governor of Ling Du with a thousand veterans at once, Zhang Shun wanted to cry without tears, who made Ling Jingyang the governor of the five armies?

Ling Jingyang led his troops to pass by Luzhou Mansion, where a vigorous conscription operation also began.

Ten days ago, Shi Tiebu followed Zhang Shunbu and settled in Luzhou Mansion, which was also a barren place, but no matter how barren it was, there were still people.

Shi Tie recruited 2,000 soldiers here, the source of soldiers here is not as good as Fengyang Mansion, most of the soldiers are yellow and thin, and there are not many people, Ling Jingyang did not take new recruits from Luzhou Mansion.

On the contrary, he told Shi Tie to train troops in Luzhou Mansion, he continued to advance to Taiping Mansion, Gao Ding and Shi Tie led their troops to settle in Taiping Mansion almost at the same time, Taiping Mansion and Yingtian Mansion are not far away, the population is hundreds of thousands, Gao Ding here to incorporate local troops, most of the garrison troops are old, weak, sick and disabled, all of Gao Ding reorganized into logistics troops.

Gao Ding used to be the general of the Ming army, the conscription is very set, he knows that the Qing army went south, burned countless along the way, the people in the south of the Yangtze River hated the Qing army very much, he played the banner of expelling the Tartars, attracting the people to join the army, the local people originally hated the Qing army, it happened that the official army came to recruit soldiers, and a large number of people enthusiastically joined the army.

Taiping Mansion is the smallest, but 30,000 soldiers are conscripted, Ling Jingyang is very satisfied with Gao Ding's performance in Taiping Mansion, he took 15,000 recruits from Taiping Mansion, Gao Ding and He Zhen's expressions are almost the same, and their hearts ache and their flesh hurts.

Ling Jingyang did this in order to balance the strength of each department, and not let a certain department have superior strength, he returned to Ningguo Mansion with more than 10,000 recruits, and Wan Liyun was scared enough that he brought back so many recruits.

But he didn't dare to say that Ling Jingyang did something wrong, Ling Jingyang ordered Wei Lan and Wan Liyun to train their troops, and they must form combat effectiveness within a month, Wan Liyun and he said that it was a bit unrealistic to want more than 10,000 troops to form combat effectiveness within a month.

Ling Jingyang told him that the Qing army would not be able to withstand it for long, and it would not be long before the Fusang people would enter the customs, and he didn't want his troops to be scattered at that time.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Wan Liyun also gritted his teeth, and buried his head with Wei Lan to train recruits.

Ling Jingyang brought back so many soldiers and horses, Li Dingguo was a little envious, he still lived in the Ming army barracks, and there were thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, but after all, the name was not right, he brought his own soldiers to visit after Ling Jingyang returned to the mansion.

He had just come to the mansion and reported his name, when Xu Sheng, who was standing guard at the door, told him that the governor of Lingdu was discussing important matters with Lord Wang, and asked him to rest in the side room for a while.

Li Dingguo was not angry, and took the guards to a study on the west side of the mansion, where he sat and waited for Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang is discussing Ganzhou Mansion with Wang Mu, Wang Mu went to Congshan Pass a few days ago, and brought Ling Jingyang's meaning to Du Yinxi, who had long wanted to include Jiangxi in the territory of the Hongguang Imperial Court and form a unified administrative division.

At this time, Ling Jingyang went north to Taiping Mansion, Fengyang Mansion and other places, greatly expanding the territory of Hongguang Imperial Court, and going south to Jiangxi has matured.

The holy decree was sent to Ganzhou City by the Jinyi Guard, Wan Yuan Ji was operating in Ganzhou Mansion with a good reputation, but Ganzhou Mansion was sparsely populated, and the soldiers and horses were not strong and scattered, only Ganzhou City had 5,000 infantry garrisoned, he received the Holy Decree, he was at a loss, and he was dissatisfied with the three people who controlled the imperial court, but he also saw some hope.

Some people requested to immediately retreat to Fuzhou Mansion, connect Fuzhou, Jianchang, and Guangxin, and rely on Fujian, which was enough to resist the military pressure of the imperial court.
