A conscription order was issued, so that each household in the city was equipped with a strong man to enlist in the army, and in addition to strengthening our army, it could also be used as a threat to make the small families in the center of the city who were uncertain cast a mouse.

The strategy proposed by this junior can be described as a copy of Yang Kai's threat to the elders of his family with their lives.

After reading it in the hall and listening to it to everyone, before Yang Kai could weigh the pros and cons in detail, the armies applauded.

Obviously, compared to the kind of discussion and Yang Kai's approach of starting from the policy and taking time to precipitate to see the effect, this kind of simple and crude strategy is more in line with their minds.

Yang Kai didn't bother to sweep everyone's interest, laughed a few times, and asked the soldiers to write down the name of the donor, and agreed to it.

After a meeting, the actions on the three important aspects of control, war preparation, and conscription all have directions, and the rest is for the people below to implement them in a down-to-earth manner.

Similarly, Yang Kai also knew that their current strategy was mostly aimed at the residents of the city, and in the territory of De'an Mansion, in addition to a few city-states with high walls, there were more farmers who stuck to the fertile fields.

Yin Zuochan proposed to follow the practice of the Ming Dynasty Inspection Division, and set up a special thief arrest department to hold the main roads everywhere, although this practice can play a certain role in stabilizing the place, but Yang Kai is still insufficient.

On the one hand, they were not in a hurry, and they ordered to be lenient to others, and the people of the world were already poor and afraid, and whatever they lacked, they could give it without shaking the fundamentals of several armies.

If you want to give, you can't give it directly, you need to pay attention to strategy, and if you urgently need to save your life, you can let them remember their kindness; If you can give it or not, let them help you do things as a reward.

In the implementation of this kind of civil affairs, we do not focus on those big villages and towns, but start with small villages and small towns, and accumulate a lot of small things.

And let out the rumors that the general judgment of De'an Mansion had already voted for them, and sorted out a team of obedient officials from the soldiers to help the scattered pro-soldiers to win over the relationship.

The fertile land in the countryside could be snatched from the hands of the landlords and outsiders, and returned to the local peasants, promising that no taxes would be levied and that they would be allowed to cultivate for a year.

Not only Yang Kai, but also the Liukou have won a series of victories recently, and the officials and soldiers were caught off guard, so they could only hug their heads and run away, and after such a drumming by people with a heart, it made a lot of noise.

Under this situation, even people in poor and remote mountain villages will inevitably wonder, is the world going to change the dynasty?

Coming and going, those who have been poor for a long time, those who are greedy for small and cheap, and those who are honest will not let go of this opportunity.

Even the powerful may not need them to fan the flames, they will spontaneously form a force to resist oppression, and only when the current interest structure of the world is completely overthrown, can this dying land have a chance to radiate new vitality.

Of course, these people who rose up are not stupid, and they will not die because of this short-term favor to join the army, and more people still yearn for a stable and peaceful life.

But this is enough, Yang Kai managed his army well, and the peasants put away their thoughts of resisting the rogues, and became a harmonious situation of friendship between the army and the people, which was also of great benefit to their stable rear and governance of the place.

The three-day deadline was coming soon, and Han Bin led the 2,000 new soldiers who were newly recruited into the army and drove to Suizhou.

Previously, Yang Kai also gave him a task, which was to change to the state official office and set up a governor's office to discuss the outline of governing the city in the previous book, and implement various affairs such as grain requisition, field distribution, military conscription, and recruiting talents.

Deng Fangbu, who came to replace him, entered the city in a big way. At the same time, Feng Jin'er also took the newly built wounded camp, and together with the discussion of more than a dozen young people dressed as Confucians, a team of 100 people formed by Li Jiangdong escorted them to De'an safely.

The former began to take care of the wounded soldiers, while the latter was busy building the governor's palace.

He had already arranged everything in Xinyang City, and after discussing it, he chose a personal soldier to manage civil affairs, did not change the position of Fang Shistatue, and let him manage business affairs.

The civil affairs manager is in charge of Anbang, and the business affairs are in charge of the economy, and the two are of equal status, and Li Jiangdong, who petitioned to stay in Xinyang City, and Yang Kai's 500 soldiers who were used as rotation posts and maintain order sat in the city, as long as the officials and soldiers did not come down, everything could be safe.

Cao Mang, who was stationed in the city, also received 2,000 new soldiers, and after resting, he took into account the drills of the new soldiers in the city and the new soldiers under the battalion, and recruited more than 6,000 people according to the conscription method of each household offering a strong man.

Han Cao and the others each divided two thousand, and the remaining two thousand, which were supposed to be all handed over to the discussion for use, only caring about public security, ignoring the defense of the military, and governing a city could not use so many people.

Only one army of new soldiers, a total of 768 people, was given the rest to cooperate with the outing to collect gunpowder, guard the main roads, and agitate the people.

On the first day that Yan Hou and Deng Fangbu came to De'an Mansion City, Yang Kai allowed them a day to rest as soon as possible, and the next day, the generals of Deng Fang's Department with more than 1,000 households came to the courtyard adjacent to Zhizhou Mansion one after another.

On the wall, there are large and small maps of the territory of De'an Province, and a group of people are surrounding the map south of the city to point out the discussion.

Su Fu'an, who had been dispatched for three days, finally came back, and his soldiers received a messenger outside the city and brought him straight back to the courtyard where Yang Kai lived.

"General Zhao passed on the good news of the clouds."

"Read."

"The officers and soldiers knew that our army had captured De'an, and they were very cowardly, and every time they met, they turned around and retreated before they could fight. On the contrary, the local militias organized by the wealthy families resisted more tenaciously.

However, their equipment and training were inferior to those of the officers and soldiers, and they did nothing at the beginning except for their hard work. Hit the back, the desperate courage is gone, and it is not worth paying attention to. Our army went down to the city in a battle, and after seizing grain, grass, silver, money, and silk, we sent messengers to report it. ”

"What are the casualties on both sides?"

"Kill 400 enemies and surrender more than 500 people. Our army lost 200 men, 400 wounded, 100 seriously wounded, 300 lightly wounded, the seriously wounded have sought medical treatment on the spot, and the lightly wounded have passed their wounds and entered the wounded barracks. ”

Zhao Hu's bravery, Yang Kai knows it very well. But this will also bring advantages and disadvantages, he rushes fiercely, and naturally has no spare time to take care of the soldiers behind him, so often the team he leads is a thousand enemies injured and eight hundred losses himself.

In a battle outside the mountain, he went to find Luo Dai to fight, which was the case.

Let him be this prison army, just to sharpen his temperament, and now it seems that the newly formed army of Su Fu'an's Ministry can get such results in the first siege battle, which is good.

Breaking off his mind of worrying about them, Yang Kai ordered his own soldiers to take the messenger down to rest, turned to look at the people in the hall, and said with a solemn expression:

"Now below Yunmeng, there are only two counties left in De'an Mansion of Xiaogan and Yingcheng, and Xiaogan is only responsible for the Yunmeng garrison, and the direction of Yingcheng depends on the command of Deng."

As soon as the words fell, Yan Hou followed up with encouragement: "The position of Yingcheng, whether it is for our army to go south or to stick to De'an, is very important, and it is really fortunate for our army that the general can entrust me with such a heavy task." ”

"Since Yunmeng is like this, Yingcheng is no better, as long as the general gives an order, there is no need for my brother to make a move, and he will lead a battalion to go, within five days, he will definitely be able to take Yingcheng, and catch a few handsome girls to come back to play for the general."

The person who spoke was General Zuo, a subordinate of Deng Fang, whose name was Yi Zhizu, a native of Sichuan. was already loud, so he stood behind Yan Hou and startled him.

Yang Kai smiled, turned to look at Deng Fang, and asked, "What does Commander Deng mean?" ”

"The general hurriedly summoned our army to come, but allowed our army to rest in the city for a day, should he not be in a hurry to capture Yingcheng? Deng Fang was willing to listen to the general's dispatch. ”

After speaking, he put the initiative back in Yang Kai's hands.

Yang Kai nodded, walked a few steps, came to the map, pointed to the location of Yingcheng, and said: "Commander Deng is right, De'an, Yingcheng is in the pocket of our army, it is only a matter of time before you go early or late, but I have high hopes for Commander Deng."

Yingcheng Linchuan near the lake, the main road of the official army into De'an, the north is adjacent to Chengtian, the south is Hanyang, the second breakthrough of our army into the lake operation, the first breakthrough is north of Suizhou, Deng commanded the burning of the bridge to break the road to do a good job, the general saw in his eyes.

But this time it is different from the direction of Suizhou, Chengtian is the location of the emperor's mausoleum, it belongs to the Ming court where the dragon vein is hidden, there are heavy troops inside, the detailed attack will be pounced, the burning of the bridge and the breaking of the road, our army can no longer do.

Once this is done, the officers and soldiers will be able to discern that our army does not have heavy troops in this direction, but only wants to hold on, and it is for this reason that our army should do the opposite. ”

"Can the general elaborate on the opposite?"

"The attack on De'an is very strong, and it can be seen from the military report in the direction of Yunmeng that the neighboring county towns have received some rumors, and De'an is still far away from Yingcheng, and it takes time to march.

Since the quick attack could not be carried out, the news of our army's battle in the lake was destined to leak, so he simply let the Deng headquarters rest in the city for a day, so that everyone could raise their spirits and then seek to attack Yingcheng. In addition to this, there are two arrangements.

First, I ordered the city to prepare six battalions of soldiers and horses equipped with banners, and after the meeting, it would be handed over to Commander Deng, and with its bluff, it would be a large-scale siege of the city with a large army.

Second, when attacking the city, they stormed the two gates in the northeast, leaving two ways for the cowardly generals in the city to live in the west and south, so that they could introduce the prosperous military appearance of our army to Chengtian and give the Chengtian official army a false impression.

In this way, there are two strategic purposes, one is to make the officers and soldiers think that the next purpose of our army is to inherit the sky, the army is pressing, and the first response of the officers and troops must be to defend, and the other is to give you enough time to prepare for military defense and ambush operations. ”

Deng Fang frowned lightly after hearing this.

He listened to Yang Kai's words very carefully this time, and he knew very well in his heart that this kind of strategy, with his head, he couldn't think of it anyway, he was a reckless person, he had been in the army for many years, and he had also learned to be slippery.

was assigned to Gao Yingen's command, and he knew the situation of the side, so he was willing to curry favor with Gao Yingen and ask for the name of a descendant.

Just because Yang Kai already had a lineage, let him be a side line under this kind of posterior, naturally he was not angry, and he also thought about turning back to the camp of Lao Huihui, Tan Si's fate made him extinguish this idea, and then asked for orders to go to the northwest to garrison, which was nothing more than a means to save his life.

After observing this period of time, it can be regarded as discovering that Yang Kai is not the same as other masters. In his hands, it seems that the more trusted people are, the more important tasks they have to shoulder.

When he said this, he was respectful. At this time, to be able to hand over such an important task to a person who is not yet fully convinced of himself, Deng Fang asked himself that he could not do it.

Seeing that he was silent, Yang Kai raised his voice, asked again, and said, "The task is arduous, there is no room for mistakes, Deng commands you to give General Ben a happy word, can you do it." Everyone in the hall focused their eyes on Deng Fang's face.

"The villain only asks one last question." Deng Fang couldn't tell whether he was excited or nervous at the moment. "What if the officers and soldiers react and attack on a large scale?"

"If he attacks, I will save you!" Yang Kai looked into his eyes, his tone firm.
