"Zu Kuan's one, two, or four dollars." The quartermaster read aloud.

After receiving the salary from the quartermaster, Zu Kuan counted it twice and couldn't find a fork. There are not even a lot of big sons!

The first time he received a military salary from someone who was not the housekeeper of the ancestral family, Zu Kuan still had a strange feeling. After all, he has been a member of his ancestral family since the day he joined the army. The military salary has always been distributed by the steward of the ancestral family, and the officer in front of him with a big cap and short hair is very different from the steward of the ancestral family.

The steward of the ancestral family is very kind to people, but when it comes to the time to pay the military salary, his hands will inadvertently go black. Whenever the housekeeper of the ancestral family blinked his eyes, Zu Kuan knew that this month's military salary would be less for some unknown reason.

The officers in the caps were very strict, but the salaries were not less.

After receiving the military salary, Zu Kuan planned to leave. It's a few days a month, and it's only serious to drink a pot of wine in the tavern at the door.

"Sign!" The officer roared loudly behind him.

"I can write, Lao Tzu has long been a general." Zu Kuan's words caused a burst of laughter.

"Then press the mudra!" The quartermaster was a little impatient, and there were hundreds of people standing behind him, who had time to ink with him.

"Press the mudra! Press the mudra! If you receive the money, you have to press your fingerprint! The thumb smacked the ink, leaving a bright red fingerprint on the quartermaster's books.

"Zu Chengxun!"

"Here!" With the lessons of the past, Zu Chengxun is well-behaved.

"Brother Xun, your money is not less."

"It's not less, it's the same as you, one or two or four dollars, yours is less?"

"Damn, these officers don't deduct their salaries."

"Are you still unwilling to deduct military salaries? Don't talk about anything else, the small shop at the door is real. ”

Li Xiao stood on the tall building and watched the soldiers in the barracks everywhere line up to pay the army's salary.

"Directly send the military salary to everyone, and in less than two months, the soldiers of the ancestral family will become the soldiers of your Li family. How did you come up with this trick! Sun Chengzong looked at the scene below with interest, and Mao Wenlong sighed with his sleeves on the side.

"It's not easy to be a soldier, and in my army, it's absolutely not allowed to drink soldiers' blood. In peacetime, they get money as soldiers, and when they fight, they have to fight with their lives. When he found that there was a deduction of military salaries, Lao Tzu chopped off his claws. "Li Xiao has never been deducted from military pay in his two lives, at most he is shameless, and he is forced to make an apportionment donation.

"Your storytellers have gone to the troops, one for each battalion. Not to mention, a gentleman who is a soldier makes these guys happy enough. Inspector Mao edited a booklet and asked them to cover the words on the booklet. Sun Chengzong took out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xiao.

Li Xiao saw that his mother was actually a three-character scripture. At the beginning of man, nature is good ......!

Be a soldier and be good at wool!

"Don't teach this yet. I wrote a few terms for them to teach the soldiers.

This is called the three disciplines and eight attentions!

One: All actions are under command

Two: Don't take a stitch from the people

Three: All seizures must be returned to the public.

These are iron disciplines that can be decapitated on the spot if violated.

The eight precautions are to keep an eye on the soldiers and not to commit taboos. Violators can be confined or punished. However, beheading is not allowed.

One: Speak kindly

2. Fair trading

Three: borrow things to be returned

Four: Compensation for damaged things

Five: Don't hit and scold people

Six: Do not damage crops

Seven: Do not molest women

Eight: Do not mistreat prisoners. ”

Li Xiao said a word, and Yuan Chonghuan next to him remembered a word. After Li Xiao finished speaking, Yuan Chonghuan had just finished writing. Sun Chengzong picked it up and savored it carefully while blowing on the ink.

"Lao Mao, people pay attention to these three disciplines and eight points. It's much better than your "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names". In just eleven sentences, it outlines the prototype of the people-friendly iron army. ”

"Huh! How can the old man compare with this kid's head, the things in his head can't be compared to eight Mao Wenlong. Mao Wenlong followed and watched, and he was ashamed of himself while watching.

"Our Liao army must keep in mind that there are three major disciplines and eight points of attention.

First, all actions should be commanded and marched in unison in order to achieve victory

Second, I don't take a needle and thread from the people, and the people support and like me

Third, all seizures should be returned to the public, and efforts should be made to lighten the people's burden

We must achieve the three major disciplines, and we must not forget the eight points of attention

First, we should speak in a harmonious manner, respect the masses, and not be proud

Second, the buying and selling price should be fair, and public buying and selling should not be overbearing

Thirdly, if the borrowed person has used it, return it in person and do not lose it

Fourth, if the thing is damaged, the compensation will not be worse than half a cent

Fifth, it is forbidden to beat or scold people, and the warlord style is resolutely overcome

Sixth, love the crops of the masses, and pay attention to the march and combat everywhere

Seventh, it is forbidden to molest women, and hooliganism must be eliminated

Eighth, it is forbidden to mistreat prisoners, beat and scold, or search their pockets

Everyone should be conscious of abiding by discipline, supervise each other, and don't violate it! ”

Thinking of the three disciplines and eight attentions, Li Xiao couldn't help but hum. The room was quiet, listening to Li Xiao humming.

"Yuan Chonghuan, have you learned?" After Li Xiao finished singing, Sun Chengzong turned around and asked Yuan Chonghuan.

"Write down the lyrics, the tune is ......!"

"The tune will go back to the old man, and it will be distributed tomorrow, so that the whole army will sing it. Those who can't learn after three days will wear twenty military sticks. Mao Wenlong was domineering for the first time.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at Li Xiao and saw Li Xiao nodding. Nodding, he picked up the pen and began to transcribe Li Xiao's lyrics.

That night, singing rang out everywhere in the barracks. Both officers and soldiers are working hard to learn Li Xiao's three disciplines and eight points of attention. Fortunately, the tune of this song is simple to learn, even if it is porcelain stupid, three days is enough to learn.

Those storytellers played a mainstay role in it, Li Xiao was surprised to find. These guys actually learned to conduct without a teacher, and the clever old Yuan even made a duet. Even though the tune has run to the sky, these guys still enjoy it.

The distribution of land went very smoothly, and before he knew it, Li Xiao found that the total population under his rule had reached 200,000. Although there are more than 200,000 people, Li Xiao still has a large area of barren land in his hands that cannot be divided. Basically, as long as it is within the scope of the policy, whoever wants it will give which piece of land.

Now Li Xiao controls this huge land from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, but the population in his hands is less than the population of a county in later generations. If we want to divide these lands, I am afraid that there will be another 200,000 people.

After the land is divided, it is natural that some people want to defend their vested property. Signing up for the army has become the most fashionable thing, and my ancestors have never seen so much land of their own. Now that the official family has allocated the land, not only does the Tartar call not only has no land, but even the family is not in peace. The most important thing is that the high salary of a soldier can support the family. Some promising young people who were unwilling to eat in the land were ready to move as soon as they heard the news of the imminent conscription.

So there was a scene of the old lady sending her son and the daughter-in-law sending her husband to join the army.

The number of soldiers in each place was very limited, and the people were amazed to find out. When the recruiters entered the village, they inquired everywhere, and only selected honest and boring people to serve as soldiers. None of the young men who penetrated the spirit were selected.

has been tossing and turning, and finally straightened out the things in hand.

The unit was reorganized into two divisions, each with five regiments. Each regiment has 1,200 men, plus the baggage battalion directly under the division, and so on. Each division actually had 7,500 personnel, and Chen Ford made a trip to Cangzhou. I got a spy company of 100 people for each division, all of whom were guys with two brushes under their perennial martial arts training hands. It is said that some of them are quite famous in the rivers and lakes, and I don't know what method Lao Chen Fu used, so he got them into the team.

Ao Canghai, commander of the first division, and Yuan Chonghuan, commander of the second division.

In addition to these two infantry divisions, there were two cavalry divisions. The first cavalry division is full of gui, and the second cavalry division is the chief of Zu Dashou.

After the expansion, Li Xiao's command now has 18,500 people. Although there was a clear gap in the number of troops of the Comparative Tartars, these were armies that controlled firearms. Far from being comparable to the combat power of the Tartars, if it is in the midst of a defensive battle. Any division, armed with a lot of mortars, can crush an offensive like last winter's!

The first division of Ao Canghai was stationed on Juehua Island and Changxing Island, and the first cavalry division of Man Gui was stationed on Changxing Island.

The Second Cavalry Division, Zu Dashou, was still stationed in Jinzhou, and it was Yuan Chonghuan's Second Infantry Division that guarded Jinzhou with him.

With the exception of the cavalry, all units were dressed in new uniforms. The olive green military uniform is divided into winter and summer clothing, and the winter clothing is not divided into front and back. If you are in the snow, the yellow military cotton jacket is worn backwards, and the snow-white lining inside can make people blend in with the snow.

In recent years, the concept of parents who have been affected by the body has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but since Brother Li Xiao, he has shaved his head a few times. After the immortal Tartar swore not to be a man, the trend of shaving his head was quietly popular in the barracks.

At first, they were the first veterans recruited from the refugees in Liaodong, and some of their families died at the hands of the Tartars. Later, it became popular throughout the officer class, and in the end, it seemed that if he didn't shave his hair short, he was disloyal to Li Xiao. The hearts of the soldiers are transparent, although they are all called Ming Jun. But it was not the imperial court that fed them, but the boy who was only nineteen years old.

Loyalty to the court is pure nonsense, it is not the court that pays the silver, and it is not the emperor Lao Tzu who cares about your food and drink. The most important thing is that it is not the adults in the court who have the final say in promoting you. The concept of honest people is very simple, whose food is eaten, whose money is spent, we will be loyal to whomever we are.

So much so that shaving heads is unstoppably popular in Li Xiao's army, but these guys' skills in shaving their heads are really not very good. Some guys have heads that look like they've been gnawed by dogs, and they can't see it when they're wearing hats, and how ugly they are when they take off their hats. It's trendy, and it's quite hippie.

So much so that Li Xiao finally had to stipulate several hairstyles, and the most popular one was the board size. Refreshing and clean.

As the long hair disappears, so do the pesky lice. Now Li Xiao's army is not only the most effective army in the Ming Dynasty, but also the cleanest and most neat army.

Those soldiers from Shandong slowly began to migrate to Liaodong. After all, when they came out to be soldiers, their families were too poor to survive. The military exploits in the army can be converted into land. Many people are tenants in their hometown in Shandong, and now they have their own land, how can people not be excited.

Some guys converted military exploits into land, and took advantage of the one-month vacation before the Qingming Dynasty to move their families to Liaodong.

By the beginning of May, it was busy from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou. The people in the fields began to grow crops, and the government organized people to repair the roads. Truckloads of red bricks were pulled out of the brick factory and delivered to the village. Each family received their own bricks to build their own houses, and military dependents were organized by the village to build them. Cutting corners is absolutely not allowed!

To build a house for one's own family, and the materials are issued by the government, the ghost will cut corners. It's all about how strong and how to build, how many well-built houses, how Li Xiao looks like a turret.

The troops in the barracks are trained in strict accordance with the training syllabus. Every morning and evening, they run ten miles each. During the day, there are separate types of training, and there is a lot of gunfire in the weapon shooting range all day long. The artillery training ground in the mountain was rumbling all day long, as if it was thundering.

On Li Xiu's birthday in mid-May, Li Xiu received an unexpected gift. He Kegang, who had just arrived in Yizhou, actually led people to capture a Spanish warship. The size of this warship was larger than that of a five-masted ship. The rat brought someone to escort him in person, and the boat was actually driven by a few Spanish foreigners.

"Second master, this is a birthday gift from Yizhou He Ye to you." The mouse smiled at Li Xiu. He Kegang wouldn't know when Li Xiu's birthday was, this was the latest news that the mouse heard after arriving on Juehua Island. As a result, the Spanish battleship became Li Xiu's birthday gift.

Li Xiu didn't care about anything else, but he just liked boats. And the bigger the better, when I saw this Spanish battleship, I had long been drooling. Looking at the eldest brother with hopeful eyes, Li Xiao has no spare money to build a ship for him now, in fact, it is not easy for Li Xiao to feed this ship now.

"It's yours!" This younger brother has always been obedient and has never asked Li Xiao for anything. Seeing Li Xiu's pitiful eyes, Li Xiao could only leave the ship behind. It seems that Chen Fu has to go to Shandong again to recruit qualified sailors. In addition, the old fisherman had to cast the bronze cannon that was expensive and expensive. That's fucking a cannon out of money.

Judging by the size of this ship, I am afraid that it will take seventy or eighty cannons. When it arrived, He Kegang had already dismantled all the cannons. According to the mouse, the current natives of Yizhou are very restless. They often raided the fortress and sometimes came to steal crops at night. After He Kegang arrived, he carried out two cleanups, but the effect was not very good.

Now there are only a lot of bastions erected outside the castle, and just look at the natives and bombard the damn thing.

Not to mention, this trick works. Since the cannon was set up and killed many of the natives, those people have not come out of the mountains very often.
