Chapter Seventy-Seven: Taishi Ziyi
On May 16, after Zhuang Shaoyou and Goguryeo completed the transaction in Hongya Town, Gao Nanxi, the prince of Goguryeo, led his people to withdraw from Liaodong.
Zhuang Shaoyou looked at the destroyed Hongya Town, his brows furrowed, but there was no way to attack, everything was because of himself, and he arrested Gao Nanxi, but the Goguryeo army destroyed Hongya Town to vent his anger.
"Zhang San, you leave a hundred people here, if the people of Hongya Town come back, you persuade them to go to the city, the food will be provided by us, and after the arrival of the city, the county will provide shelter and fields!" If they don't want to, give them three days' rations and let them find their own way! ”
Zhang San immediately ordered: "General, how can they be unwilling!" The subordinates guarantee that a lot of them will get it! ”
Five days later, Zhuang Shaoyou returned to Qiqi County with a large team of men and horses escorting the spoils, and the entire Qiqi County was jubilant, and the people took to the streets to welcome the soldiers who returned triumphantly.
Zhuang Shaoyou was a little surprised, who made this happen? Then I saw Guo Yuan, Luo Yu and Wu Liang at the gate of the city come forward to pay their respects.
"Subordinates welcome the general's triumphant return!" The three of them saluted together, and Zhuang Shaoyou was very excited, and this Guoyuan was finally willing to surrender.
The group squeezed on the street for nearly an hour before walking back to the county office, no way, the masses are too enthusiastic, as a leader, no matter how impatient they are, they have to be approachable, right?
As soon as everyone entered the county office, Guo Yuan preemptively said: "General, you have been on the expedition for more than a month. Because of the spring famine, a large number of refugees came from Qingzhou, and a small number of people from Jizhou, these people heard that there was porridge in the county, so they all ran to the county seat.
Now the number of refugees gathered in the county has reached nearly 2,000, and the city can't fit it, so there are thousands of refugees in nearby villages and outside the city, and the recent public security situation in the county is very troublesome.
Zhuang Shaoyou looked at Guo Yuan with a solemn expression: "Mr. Guo, there are a few things that you need to do
First, set up a few more soup kitchens in and outside the city, try to ensure that no one starves to death, if the rice is not enough, go to buy it from those landlords, it doesn't matter if the price is a little higher, now it is not bad for this money!
If those landlords are unwilling to sell, you can tell them that this spring ploughing has opened up tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the grain produced is enough for the entire county to eat for ten years, and in two months, when the spring wheat comes down, the grain in their hands will rot in their hands!
Second, recruit a group of craftsmen to build more houses in the empty space of the county, and it will not be long before a group of residents will move from Hongya Town in the northeast, and we must do a good job of resettlement in advance.
Third, set up a recruitment hall to recruit people with a skill, whether it is a strategist who gives advice, or a skilled craftsman with a clever mind, or a person with special skills in some aspects, as long as it is useful for the construction of the city! has been admitted, preferential treatment, given land, house, silver money rations.
Okay, that's all for now, Mr. Guo will do it first! ”
"Subordinates take orders!" Guo Yuan got up and saluted and took the order.
"Qinling, two things are left to you to do, the first is to expand the army, you find someone to draft a recruitment order to post it all over the county, and the nearby villages will also send people to post notices, and three days later, recruit troops on the spot in the county school, and the general will go in person!"
Second, you send someone to count the results of this battle, and give the families of the deceased soldiers one hectare of land and ten taels of silver! The seriously injured retirees were given a hectare of land and five taels of silver! Those who have made meritorious contributions to the battle will be rewarded according to the standards originally established, go ahead! ”
"Subordinates take orders!"
"Wu Liang, I will leave it to you to do one thing, as soon as possible in all parts of Liaodong, Lelang, Daifang and other places to publicize the new policy, encourage the people to move here, as long as they are willing to come, they will be given fields, houses, rations, and there will be special rewards for those who have skills!
In addition, your intelligence department needs to be set up quickly, our messaging speed is too slow! If you lack money, you can go directly to Mr. Guo to withdraw it! ”
Wu Liang was surprised at first, and then admired again, this move is too ruthless! It's a desperate plan! But I'm afraid this trick will cause Gongsun Du's dissatisfaction!
"Subordinates take orders!"
May 24, East School Field, Yuqi County.
Zhuang Shaoyou sat on the platform, Qin Ling and several centurions stood beside him, and below were the strong men of the cavalry battalion veterans who applied for the examination school.
In the morning, more than 3,000 people signed up for the binding, and more than 1,000 aborigines from Qiqi County signed up, and the remaining 2,000 were refugees who fled from Qingzhou and Jizhou
Almost all the adult men among these people have registered, and after tossing along the way, the old, weak, sick and disabled are basically sick and starved to death on the road, and those who can run to Liaodong alive are basically middle-aged men.
These people are generally burly and have some foundation, but they are all yellow-skinned, long-term malnutrition, and lack of strength.
Zhuang Shaoyou discussed with Qin Lingyi and had to lower the recruitment standard, after all, these people can't play their due strength because they can't eat enough, if they can eat enough and raise them for a month or two, their combat effectiveness will definitely be greatly improved.
When it was almost noon, Zhuang Shaoyou got up and prepared to go back for lunch.
As a result, a young man in white clothes jumped on the school field, more than eight feet tall, about twenty years old, dignified appearance, and looked very extraordinary, Zhuang Shaoyou didn't notice it, but Qin Ling saw it and asked:
"If the conscripts want to go there and line up, come in order, we don't want undisciplined soldiers like you!"
The young man said without humility or arrogance: "I am different from them, I have come to enlist as a cavalry general!" ”
Qin Ling was furious when he heard this: "Where did the kid come from, he didn't know the height of the sky, and dared to rob Lao Tzu's job!" ”
The strong men who applied for the recruitment around saw that there was a lively view, and they all came up to see the excitement.
"Oh? It turns out that you are the cavalry general here, do you have the guts to compete with me, as long as I can win you, you will let me sit in your place? It's up to you to pick whatever you want! ”
Seeing this, the people around also followed suit.
Qin Ling was suddenly furious, and he was provoked by this hairy boy, hmm! Teach him a good lesson!
"Good! As long as you can win me, my place will be given to you! It's up to you to pick what to compare, so that you don't have to lose and say that Lao Tzu is bullying! ”
The young man was not annoyed, but smiled slightly: "Then it is better than working right away!" ”
After speaking, he galloped towards a very strong war horse not far away, a beautiful turned over on the horse, his legs were clamped, and the horse instantly galloped at an accelerated speed, and the young man grabbed the bow on the horse, pulled out four arrows from the quiver and sandwiched them between his fingers, bent the bow and arrows, and suddenly turned around, and headed towards the target nearly three hundred steps away, "Whoosh!" ”
The four feathered arrows are all in the bull's-eye, and they are also evenly distributed on the bull's-eye in an up, down, left, and right manner.
There was silence all around, and Qin Ling was also dumbfounded! If you shoot arrows from 200 paces away, you can do it by hitting the bull's-eye with one arrow, but if it is nearly 300 paces away, you can shoot four arrows at a time, and practice for another ten years! Four arrows in a row!
Zhuang Shaoyou noticed this scene when everyone was coaxing just now, and then he saw the young man's miraculous performance, and his eyes suddenly lit up, what is he lacking most now?
Talent! Definitely talent!
Zhuang Shaoyou hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Dare to ask the name of the strong man?" ”
"Donglai, Tai Shi Ci!"
Zhuang Shaoyou was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly: "It turned out to be Brother Ziyi!" In Xiazhuang less travel, fortunately will be lucky! ”
"General, have you heard of me?"
Zhuang Shaoyou couldn't help but feel embarrassed for a while, but he still hurriedly said perfunctorily: "Brother Ziyi's name is Zhenqingzhou, who in the world doesn't know you!" ”
Tai Shi Ci also blushed for a while after hearing this, he used to be very upset, and he had offended a lot of officials and gentry, but he didn't expect his reputation to spread to Liaodong, it was really embarrassing!
Zhuang Shaoyou came to his senses, turned around and announced loudly to the people around the school: "General Ben announces that from today onwards, Tai Shici will be the general of my cavalry battalion, and Captain Qin will be his deputy!" ”
After speaking, he turned to Qin Ling, who was still in a daze, and said, "Qin Ling, do you have any objections?" If not, Yu Ziyi will cooperate well in the future! Train the cavalry battalion to be the invincible elite in the world. ”
Qin Ling came back to his senses and said, "General, take it in your heart!" No objection! ”
Zhuang Shaoyou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Ling is an old man who follows him, he has always been very safe, he is like a brother to him, I am afraid that it will be bad if he has any ideas, now it seems that Qin Ling's mind is still good, at least he will not be blindly arrogant, and people who are stronger than him are not unconvinced.
Tai Shici was also stunned, he was originally on stage today to show just to attract the attention of the superiors, if he could get the position of centurion, he would be satisfied, and he was afraid that he would not be able to make meritorious contributions and be promoted with his own skills?
Tai Shi Ci knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Thank you for the promotion!" The subordinates are willing to go to the soup for the general, and they will not give up! ”
Death for a confidant
The word loyalty and righteousness in this era is the foundation of a man's foothold, so everyone takes reputation very seriously, and the subordinates who value love and righteousness are the favorite of all lords, if you have a little ability, it will be better!
Everyone was happy, only Qin Ling was a little disappointed in his heart, and it was not enough to balance his heart quickly
He was an inconspicuous commander of the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning, and the general promoted himself step by step, and now he can cope with this captain and command 1,800 people
If in the future, when the general dominates the world, he will give himself thousands of troops and horses, can he have fun?
So you have to rely on those who have great skills to assist the general, and if you don't work hard, I'm afraid that the help to the general will be smaller and smaller in the future.
The general is a nostalgic person, and it will not be good if he puts himself in a position that he is not qualified for and causes dissatisfaction among everyone.
So, you have to work hard to improve yourself!
