"Hurry up and come out, don't rub it off!"

Liu Huichuan was responsible for leading the way, leading the Ming army to arrest the families of senior officers, and identifying these people.

In the two cities of Nanjun Division, most of the Han soldiers lived outside the city, even in the valley villages thirty or forty miles away from the city. They usually need to farm their own land, and before the war, someone comes to recruit them, and the junior officers are responsible for recruiting people and enlisting with the men in the village.

Only party members can live in the city, and they usually guard against the Han people.

Of course, Han craftsmen and their families were also allowed to live in the city. They even had to live in the city, lest they flee to the Han land, or be taken captive by the Song soldiers if they were not transferred in time.

In the blink of an eye, it was dark, and Liu Huichuan's wife and children were brought.

Although his wife was picked up for nothing and his son belonged to someone else, Liu Huichuan attached great importance to this family, because he had nothing else to worry about.

If it weren't for him as a low-ranking officer, his wife and children would not be allowed to hide in the city.

The rest of the Han family members have only moved to the north of the river valley, and many of them have been captured by Li Yanxian.

"Choose a house in the city by yourself, settle your family, and go with me to see the general!" The Ming army officer in charge of delivering the message commanded.

"Yes!"

Liu Huichuan was overjoyed, but he was not greedy, and only chose a small mansion, which used to be the residence of a party officer.

After settling his wife and children, Liu Huichuan went out happily, and saw the people carrying the corpses with torches along the way.

He was taken to the Yamen of the Southern Military Division, where a meeting was being held overnight, and Liu Huichuan was standing outside waiting.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, some generals came out, and Liu Huichuan was called in.

The Ming general named Yang Zhi had a very amiable expression, and said to him with a smile: "Find a stool to sit on yourself." ”

"Yes." Liu Huichuan didn't dare to slack off, and sat down carefully.

Yang Zhi obviously inquired about his details and asked, "The people over there?" ”

Liu Huichuan nodded: "Yes." ”

Yang Zhi said: "Last year, Western Xia took advantage of the situation, and most of Hengshan Prefecture and County were stolen. If your family is still alive, I am afraid that they will also be taken captive by the captive army. Such a deep hatred, do you want to seek revenge from the Tangut people? ”

Over the past decade, Liu Huichuan's state of mind has been changing.

When he first started as a serf, he kept trying to escape, but he was not reckless. Guazhou is too far away, it is extremely difficult to escape back to Han land, and the fugitive slaves who were caught also ended up miserable.

Later, he became a collision linglang, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to slip away, but he never found the opportunity, and he was even more afraid of escaping back and being rewarded by Song Jun's head.

It wasn't until he became an officer that he finally settled down, and even wanted to become a real Xixia person, and fight bravely for a rich future in the future.

And then it's lying flat, a serf-born Bang Linglang who has no future at all!

Now, Liu Huichuan has finally been awakened, he remembers that he is a Han Chinese, and he has a blood feud with Western Xia.

Putong knelt on the ground, and Liu Huichuan said: "I am willing to fight with the general and kill all the Western Xia people!" ”

Yang Zhi smiled and said: "Henan Military Division, in the future, it will be renamed Dingxi Fort." There are three kinds of living Bang Linglang, one is the defection of our army when it enters the city, and each person can be divided into thirty acres of land; One is to kill the military department yamen before defecting, and each person can share 20 acres of land. There is also a kind of capture, which is captured in battle outside the city, and each person is given five acres of land. ”

Thirty acres of land?

Liu Huichuan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

This is all a land of river valleys, and it is already considered fertile land in the northwest.

Liu Huichuan felt a lot, but Yang Zhi didn't care.

There is no shortage of land here, only people who farm it. The Hehuang policy during the Song Huizong period was that as long as he was willing to defend the border here for a long time, a soldier could get 200 acres of land! As a result, no one wants to come, and most of them will flee after a year or two.

In order to restore agricultural production as soon as possible, even those captive Han Chinese, Yang Zhi had to distribute the land for cultivation.

"Since I have divided the land, I will fight for the imperial court," Yang Zhi said, "I will only leave 1,500 soldiers here, 1,000 people to guard the mother city, and 500 people to guard the sub-city." In the event of an invasion by the Western Xia army, all the men who farmed in the river valley had to be conscripted to guard the castle. ”

"That's as it should be." Liu Huichuan took it for granted.

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "In the future, if you make meritorious contributions, you will also be rewarded with land and property!" Moreover, you are allowed to arrest the party members and bring them back to the valley to be serfs. Can you ride a horse? ”

Liu Huichuan shook his head: "I haven't ridden it." ”

Yang Zhi said: "Reward you with another horse, and go back to practice riding." The Han people who returned to Shun this time will conduct drills in their spare time, and I will arrange a general to lead the troops, and you will temporarily make him a deputy general. Tell those Han'er that this is Ming China, as long as you bravely kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, everyone can be a general. It's not like in Western Xia, you can see the end at a glance, and you can't climb up in this life. ”

This is to be a general?

"General Yang's great kindness and virtue will be remembered in my heart for the rest of my life!" Liu Huichuan was so excited that he was about to cry.

It's just a matter of buying horse bones, and promoting a Bang Linglang to be a general can inspire all the Shun Han people to fight bravely.

As for this position, it is only temporary, and Yang Zhi does not have that power.

Liu Huichuan's military rank will be very low, but the probationary military rank will be very high, and he will be slowly promoted to the rank after meritorious service in the future.

The next day, the captives were screened.

The party members were separated separately, and the senior generals and their families were escorted to Lanzhou and locked up as bargaining chips in the future.

The middle and low-level officers of the party are all executed!

Ordinary soldiers of the party were assigned to the Ming army stationed in the city as serfs.

The 1,500 Ming troops who stayed behind to garrison the border were all from Hanzhong. However, the land in Hanzhong was tight, and not every soldier could get a share of the land, and they used to directly reward money for meritorious service.

Money is still rewarded, but the soldiers who remain here have to allocate additional land and assign them serfs to farm. This is compensation for being far away from home and guarding the border, otherwise the army will not be at ease, and it will be good to wait for their families to be brought in, and from now on, all of them will be small and medium-sized landlords in the army.

Of course, after the destruction of Western Xia, serfdom would inevitably be abolished.

Now engaging in military serfs can motivate the border soldiers and consume the population of Western Xia. The regular garrison here will inevitably take the peasant soldiers to the territory of Western Xia to rob people.

In the end, there were more than 1,000 prisoners of war of various ethnic groups, including Qiang, Tibetan, Uighur, and so on.

Yang Zhi called these people over and personally lectured: "You can go home alive, and after returning to your respective tribes, tell your tribal chiefs that in the future, you can fight less desperately if you are recruited to fight in Western Xia." If you are willing to belong to the Ming Dynasty, the chieftain can secretly send an envoy to Lanzhou, and when the Ming Dynasty destroys the Western Xia in the future, all the meritorious departments will be rewarded. ”

The languages of all ethnic groups are not understood, and Chinese is the lingua franca.

Yang Zhi also hired a translator in Lanzhou, for fear that they would not understand, so he translated again in different languages.

When the soldiers of all ethnic groups heard that they would not die, they were so excited that they knelt down to Yang Zhi to thank him.

"Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped," Yang Zhi said again, "From tomorrow, you will go to dig up red clay and follow the craftsmen to build soil to repair the gaps in the city wall!" When the fighting is over, I will let you go home. ”

The soldiers of all ethnic groups were more convinced that they would not die, and they all said that they would work hard.

Today, there is work, and countless stripped corpses are piled up all over the city.

Soldiers of all ethnic groups were responsible for carrying the corpses out of the city, digging many large pits, mixing the corpses with firewood and grass, throwing them in, burning them and burying them in the earth.

The captured war horses and armor were classified and placed outside the city, and priority was given to Li Yanxian's miscellaneous cavalry.

The equipment of these brothers is varied, and the war horses are also good and bad, and today they can finally be more formal.

"Don't worry, everyone has a share," Li Yanxian said with a smile, "According to the level of the military rank, line up to get the war horse armor." Take a good horse, and give up your former horses. To receive a good piece of armor, you must hand over the previous armor. Of course, the unarmored person says otherwise. ”

The ragtag cavalry was jubilant, and the first officers had already gone out.

They led horses, wore armor, and carried weapons. First go to the herd to change the horses, and after choosing, take the good horses away, and keep their original mounts.

Then, according to this method, the weapons and armor were also replaced.

The second and third batches ...... Until it is the turn of ordinary cavalry, the lottery will be drawn according to the number, and those who are lucky will have priority.

Li Yanxian and Yan Ping did not participate, and when they left Xiangyang, Zhu Ming gave them a full set of equipment.

"Yan Er, what do you think of this horse?"

The rider Luo Ruming led a horse over, but this guy was a rich man, and his family was in business. He has not been interested in business since he was a child, but likes guns, sticks, bows and horses, and he fights with heroes all day long, and he can be regarded as a hero.

Li Yanxian returned to Shaanxi to raise troops, and Luo Ruming brought 30 people to vote.

Yan Ping said: "Your previous one was also a good horse, there is no need to change it again, right?" ”

Luo Ruming said with a smile: "The strong have their own strong players, and this war horse is the same." This horse is abnormal, and it is probably the mount of the main general of Western Xia. ”

Yan Ping said: "The war horses of the Western Xia State Minister and the Military Department have long been killed by the fire gun and the people and horses. ”

The war horse in front of him was the mount of the prison army Han Huaizhong, and it was also given by the Western Xia Emperor.

Luo Ruming raised a bow again, smiled and said: "The best Xixia good bow, you may not be able to buy it if you have money, this time I can be regarded as earning it." ”

Li Yanxian's 4,000 miscellaneous cavalry collectively changed their outfits from top to bottom.

Even the armor worn by Li Yuchang and Yeli Fulu was beaten into a sieve by muskets, and some cavalrymen rushed to get their hands on it, so they could ask the craftsmen in the army to repair it.

After the cavalry finished selecting the equipment, let Liu Huichuan and those men choose it.

The armor of the collar is not good, far inferior to the capture army, once the equipment is changed, and then trained seriously, it will be able to have full combat effectiveness in the future. They all got land in the river valley, and in order to keep their land, they would also fight desperately with the Tangut people.

These frontier river valleys, except for the difference in the tax system, are actually very similar to the government and military system of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yanxian gathered the troops, looked at the four thousand horsemen after the change of clothes, his heart was already full of blood, he felt that he could lead the troops all the way to Liangzhou!

In fact, these armors are just average, far worse than the Iron Harrier.
