In the evening, Yuwen introduced today's big parade, and Li Taicai was able to say goodbye and withdraw from the camp tent, and walked to the camp divided by his own capital water administration under the guidance of the confessor.

The scale of this year's parade is larger than last year's, yesterday because of the anxious mood, Li Tai did not pay much attention, today walking among the camps, he found that the camps are set up more closely, and the number is more, at least nearly half more than last year.

In the past year, he was also busy, but because he did not directly participate in the reorganization of the township league and did not have time to pay attention to it, he did not know the progress of the reorganization of the township league.

However, last year, there were still some states and counties that did not have people from the township group to participate in the parade, but this year, even some states and counties with relatively unfamiliar names have a large number of people to participate in the parade.

For example, the Wuxiang County and Township Regiment under the command of Zhou Changming participated in the defense of the river this year, and the number of soldiers last year was only more than 1,600, but this year it was expanded to 3,000 people, and the increase in soldiers was mainly the Diren tribe who moved from Longyou to Huazhou last year.

As for Jingzhao County, which is ruled by Li Tai's cousin Cui Ji, last year it was only a little more than 2,000 men, but this year it has increased sharply to nearly 7,000 people.

Although there has been a significant increase in the strength of the man, there are also many problems that have been exposed. There was a lot of chaos between the camps, and soldiers could be seen wandering out of the camp from time to time, and there was almost no prohibition between the camps.

The equipment and equipment of these new state, county, and township regiments are also in a mess, and last year they could still issue a black cloth uniform mark to each person, but this year there is no such mark.

Those township regiment armed men wore a lot of fashionable clothes, not even the common hakama pleated uniforms, all kinds of clothing and appearances, looking at the atmosphere of no troops, but like a scoundrel gathering in the village.

Li Tai was still wearing the old brocade robe given by Yuwentai yesterday, the clothes were still decent, but he was not very obedient, and he walked some distance between the camps, and he actually followed a small group of soldiers who did not know where to come from.

These people had fierce eyes and whispered conversations, as if they were planning to give Li Tailai a stick to a remote corner, and ripped off his robes and swords. It wasn't until the admonitor summoned a retinue of armor soldiers to escort them that they dispersed.

This is really only focusing on quantity, not quality, Li Tai saw that the army in the camp was like this, and he was worried that he would not bomb the camp first in the middle of the big parade.

No wonder Yu Wentai said before that he would no longer arrange field hunting after this year's big parade, and it was also because he was too worried about pulling eggs, so with such military appearance and military discipline, after the big parade, these people could return to their hometowns and not have any riots, which was a great luck, and he really didn't dare to show off his safari again.

Although the scale of this year's big reading has been rashly expanded, although it is a bit self-defeating and beyond the tolerance of the overlord, it is not completely bad. At the very least, it also proves that the people's power is available, and that such a large-scale conscription can be carried out in the event of a critical situation.

Next, the recruitment and expansion of soldiers can be relatively conservative, but the military organization and management need to be strengthened.

But this is not something that Li Tai needs to worry about, he will also be very busy in the future, not only to coordinate the repair of the canal from Luoshui to Kulichuan, but also to choose the location of the defense city to start construction, and select soldiers to expand the army.

The boss is a rare heroic hand this time, and he allocated all the spoils of Bai Yushan's battle to him for use, but other than that, there should be no more funding.

Building cities and repairing canals are things that require a lot of investment, and Li Tai needs to be more careful if he wants to turn this empty check into an actual expansion of power.

Fortunately, at least there is no need to make any other calculations in terms of labor, and those thousands of Jihu captives are the best consumables. It was very fun to destroy the people's livelihood in the region before, but now of course we have to use them to rebuild. When you come out to mix, you always have to pay it back.

Li Tai walked forward while thinking in his heart, until he heard the sound of ice floe colliding in the river, and suddenly found that he had almost reached the bank of Luoshui, so he asked curiously: "The Dushui camp is located on the riverside?" ”

After hearing this, the messenger nodded a little embarrassedly, and explained: "There are many soldiers in this autumn, and the camps regulated before are insufficient, so we can only expand the ...... outward."

When Li Tai heard this explanation, his face suddenly sank, and he expanded and expanded, but what do you mean by adding Lao Tzu's subordinates?

It is now the beginning of winter, the weather is quite cold, Luoshui has not yet been completely frozen, the river bank is doubly wet and cold, even after a whole day, there is still a thick layer of frost left in the shade of the plateau.

The camp of the Metropolitan Water Administration was arranged in a depression not far from the riverbank, and there were trees to the south to block the sun, and there were few rations such as tents, and several tents were lonely and shabby.

Everyone in the camp also found out that Li Tai was coming, and Wu Jingyi and other people left behind came forward one after another, and said with a happy face: "I finally came back, and everyone heard about this trip......

Li Tai waved his hand to stop everyone's sycophancy, pointed to the few simple tents and frowned: "Don't you know that it's cold, or there is no tent in the warehouse to spare?" With such a frugal camp, can you do things with peace of mind? ”

"At the beginning of the big parade, the administrative department was not well prepared and the judgment was inferior, so it was not allowed to live close with the car. The items in the warehouse were also requisitioned, and the things in the camp here were borrowed nearby......"

Seeing that Li Tai's demeanor was a little unkind, Pei Hong, who was in charge of the miscellaneous affairs of the administration, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head and said.

Before Li Tai could speak after hearing this, the person next to him hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Please Li Zhi wait for a while, and immediately return to the camp to ask if there is any free space, and move all the staff inside as soon as possible." ”

"The people in Taiwan are making this placement, I think they have their credentials, and they don't work hard."

Li Tai had a fire in his heart, but he did not attack the confessor, waved his hand and motioned for his people to go, went into the camp and looked into the tent, and found that the bunks inside were also very simple, and the inside and outside of the tent were as cold as the outside, only some freshly cut firewood was piled up in a corner, probably only enough for cooking but not enough for heating.

"How have you all survived these days?"

After walking out of the camp, Li Tai looked at the more than 30 members of the Dushui clan present and asked.

After everyone heard this, they nodded, and Wu Jingyi stepped forward again and sighed: "Soon after Lord Lang led his troops to leave, a certain group of goods arrived in Baishui, first camped next to the stable on the hill, and built a furnace. After the arrival of the Taiwan government clerks, due to the lack of horses, they were expelled from the plateau, guarded and obeyed, and requisitioned camp tents and coal materials together......"

When Li Tai heard this, he snorted coldly, knowing that it must be some people in the Taiwan Mansion who are accustomed to using chicken feathers as arrows, or they feel that he is about to lose power in the Taiwan Mansion, so they make it difficult for his subordinates like this.

Failing to provide enough war horses, they were indeed derelict in their duties, and his safety in northern Shaanxi was uncertain before, so his subordinates could only swallow their anger in order to avoid extraneous branches.

People are warm and cold, bitter and happy, sometimes it is so realistic.

So when he gains power, Li Tai has to shake his majesty back. At present, the big reading has not ended, and it is not suitable to rush to the camp to make a noise, after a little muttering, Li Tai ordered: "Demolish this camp tent, and follow me to Baishuizhuang for the night to sleep!" ”

"But there is an order in front of us, we are not allowed to leave the camp without authorization......"

After Pei Hong heard this, he whispered with some worry.

"Who dares to hold him accountable for this, let him come to me and say!"

Li Tai snorted coldly again, he was born and died in northern Shaanxi, and after he came back, he made Daxingtai so cheerful, is it just to squat on the river bank and blow the cold wind?

With Li Tai's support, everyone's morale returned, and these tents were quickly dismantled. The tribes who were originally placed elsewhere also rushed here to meet, as well as Lu Yan and others who had returned to report the news before, and the group headed towards Baishui Manor.

Not long after Li Tai and his entourage left, a Taiwanese official led several horse-drawn carriages to this place, and the carriages were loaded with many camp tents and food supplies. But when they arrived, there were only some traces of camping left, and all the men and horses were gone.

Seeing this scene, several subordinate officials of the Taiwan government were a little flustered, and while arranging for personnel to follow the traces left by Li Tai and others, they hurriedly returned to the camp to report.

"Gone? This Li Boshan is really getting more and more arrogant, and he dares to disobey the ban and travel without authorization during the big reading! ”

The Taiwanese official in charge of the resettlement of the camps is named Huangfu Fan, who is in his thirties, and when he heard the report of his subordinates, his face turned angry, and he snorted coldly: "Return all the things to the warehouse, he will leave without telling him, and he will take what punishment he needs to receive, no need to ask again!" ”

Early the next morning, the big reading continued, and at breakfast, Yu Wentai instructed: "Order Li Boshan to participate in the big reading today." ”

After making this order, he continued to eat, but when he was about to leave the camp after the meal, he still did not see Li Tai coming, and the messenger said with a panicked face: "Li and Li are gone......

"Gone? What's going on? ”

Yuwentai frowned when he heard this, and the subordinate official Huangfu Fan, who had been waiting for the opportunity, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The envoy sent the camp yesterday to send all the things, and the Dushui camp was already empty. Some people said that after Li Zhi entered the camp yesterday, because he was tired of sleeping in the wilderness, he actually led his troops to go out without permission and look for accommodation elsewhere......"

When Yu Wentai heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he snorted coldly: "The few people who were few before, who won the land of the cold wilderness, broke the thieves and thousands of them, how could Boshan be greedy for comfort and enjoyment!" The big reading was carried out for several days, and the camp materials were not yet sufficient, and the people involved were not well scheduled, so it was advisable to introspect. ”

When he had said this, he rode out of the camp. But the emperor froze in place, and after a while, the cold wind swept by, and he shivered, and then he found that his colleagues around him were looking at him with strange eyes.

"Li Boshan, he is a young man, and now he is exercising it outside, and he is not involved in each other's ministry, so why should Brother Huangfu touch him easily?"

A subordinate official of the Taiwan government, who is usually quite friendly with him, saw that Huangfu Fan was embarrassed and independent, and stepped forward and sighed: "Everyone has a way to be self-reliant, and this disciple is not called by his age. ”
