The cavalry of the Fourth Division returned to Youzhou, and the soldiers of the revival rangers took more than 10 million Huifengzhou with them. Even if Yang Dezheng promised them that they could take 20% of the seizure, they did not divide the money on the spot, but waited until Yang Dezheng sent Peng Pai to lead the secret guards to cooperate with Chen Yao to start registering and recovering the seizures one by one. Only then did they carry the animal skin bags on their horses, and one by one they came to Peng Pai and Chen Yao.

After handing in a bag of gold, silver, and jewelry, and estimating the value, the soldiers of the Revival Rangers will only take their share, and those who do not belong to them will not ask for more. belongs to them, even if they give one or two less, they will deal with you.

In their minds, they stubbornly believe that the boss's property is the boss's, their property is theirs, and they cannot encroach on each other or take advantage of each other. A high-level celebration banquet was postponed for a whole day because of this incident. While the property was being collected, Yang Dezheng took Fan Long to the city gate building.

The three brothers of the Yang family, plus Fan Long, held a small celebration banquet in the city gate building. The four of them chatted while eating and drinking. "Come, raise a glass, for General Fan Long, return triumphantly." Staggered glasses of wine.

Fan Long could clearly feel that Yang Gui and Yang Xin respected him. Yang Dezheng treated him more like a friend.

Dinner. Yang Gui and Yang Xin have been asking Chang Yuan what happened in the past few months in Liao. Fan Long also roughly explained what happened to him in the territory of Liao. Regarding the fact that Zhou Dayong and Fan Long attacked Zhongjing Dading and then attacked Xijing Datong, they all felt that the people in Tianjing New City were bold and daring.

When I heard that the Han people of Liao in the territory of Liao, after being liberated by the Fourth Division of Tianjing New Town, they either fought with the Liao people with swords, or took people to Tianjing New City to go to Ryukyu.

The three of them clapped their hands and applauded. The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors. Yang Dezheng handed the empty wine jar to Wang Xing, asked him to get more wine, and asked by the way: "How about the damage of the revival rangers?" Referring to the loss of the revival rangers, Fan Long's expression was also gloomy, and he bowed his head and said: "Nearly a thousand brothers died in the battle, and many of the brothers who came back with me are also more or less injured. ”

Yang Dezheng said with emotion: "They are all heroes, and the people of Fuxing Mansion and Datong Mansion will remember them." After this battle, give them a month off so that they can spend time with their families. If you don't have a family, you can take this opportunity to start a family as soon as possible. Fan Long respectfully saluted Yang Dezheng and said, "Thank you, general, they have followed me for almost three years and have never rested." Sometimes, I feel ashamed. ”

Yang Guile said: "In the future, you can't call General Yang Dezheng, Yang Dezheng is now the tiger marquis canonized by the imperial court, and he is the general manager of soldiers and horses in the three states of Daizhou, Fengzhou, and Shengzhou." Fan Long was stunned and stared at Yang Dezheng strangely, "You have already mixed up with the Marquis?" Or the general manager of the soldiers and horses? ”

Yang Dezheng waved his hand and said indifferently: "It's just a false name." Fan Long clicked his mouth and muttered: "I can be regarded as having made a great contribution this time, so I didn't get any official position?" Fan Long himself didn't care about the official position, but he listened to Yang De's official getting higher and higher, but he didn't have an official and a half-job, and he was a little unhappy.

Yang Dezheng laughed and said: "If you want an official, just give it to you." Yang Dezheng glanced around Fan Long, Yang Gui, Yang Xin, and the three of them, and said: "Now that the Fuxing Pass is kept, we can live a safe life." Kou Zhun and I have already talked about dividing Fengzhou and establishing two prefectures. At present, Sun is only already in charge.

Now, the four of us get together and talk about the future of the two provinces. I'm going to separate the Revival Foot Soldiers and the Revival Rangers.

The Fuxing Infantry Corps was officially renamed the Revival Army, which was divided into infantry regiments, cavalry regiments, shield regiments, spear regiments, crossbow regiments, etc. The number of permanent soldiers was 50,000, with Yang Gui as the commander-in-chief. The main responsibility of the Renaissance Army is to be responsible for guarding the Fuxing Pass.

The Revival Rangers, renamed the Ranger Army, are equipped with two horses, a scimitar, a horizontal knife, a short spear, two crossbows, and a set of leather armor. The number of permanent soldiers was 30,000, and Fan Long served as the main general.

The responsibility of the Rangers is to patrol the border between Fuxing Province and Tatong Province. Make sure that thieves are not allowed to cause chaos in the territory of the two provinces, and at the same time guard against the infiltration of small groups of enemy troops. This includes exterminating some bandits and rogues in the two provinces.

I will build three military cities in the three corners of the land of the two provinces, and supply them to the rangers as garrisons. In addition, there is also the Datong Army, which is divided into the same as the Revival Army. The number of permanent soldiers is also 50,000, and Wang Gui serves as the main general.

The Datong Army will also become the first field army under my command. Responsible for foreign operations. Fan Long doesn't know much about this, and he doesn't mean to fight for power, as long as he can lead his troops to fight, he will be satisfied. Yang Gui was a little dissatisfied with Yang Dezheng's division, "What about the Jin Army?" ”

The Jin army made great efforts in this Fuxing Pass battle. Yang Dezheng revoked the title of Jin Jun, but he didn't agree. Yang Dezheng seemed to have expected someone to ask this, and he said with a smile: "The Jin army will become a reserve, and when there is a war, the government soldiers, county soldiers, and township soldiers drawn from the two prefectures and the counties under the two prefectures, as well as the determined soldiers and horses sharpened by the agricultural reclamation corps, and other strong men who are willing to defend the country, will form the Jin army."

In the event of a war, I will be the commander-in-chief. On weekdays, these people are grain farmers, vegetable farmers, merchants, soldiers guarding the city, and soldiers at all levels of yamen. Seeing that Yang Gui was still frowning, Yang Dezheng reluctantly continued to explain: "The combined population of the two prefectures is about 1.6 million. With the taxes of the two governments, it is already the limit to support 130,000 soldiers and horses. If there are more, then I will have to go and loot the people's fat and people's ointment.

Besides, this is still a conscription based on the situation of 1 out of 10. If you recruit a little more, I'm afraid that there will be no hardcover men in this folk. The two questions Yang Dezheng said are very realistic. Although Yang Gui was dissatisfied with Yang Dezheng's humiliation of the Jin army's reputation, he also did not want to see Yang Dezheng go to loot the people's fat and people's ointment.

Comparatively speaking, humiliating the name of the Jin Army is already light. Yang Gui could only grit his teeth and agree with Yang Dezheng's statement. In fact, Yang Dezheng really can't afford to raise more soldiers and horses? No, as long as Yang Dezheng is willing, Yang Dezheng has many ways to make money, and he can support more troops.

The reason why there was no large-scale conscription was for the sake of rapid population development. At the same time, it is also to hide strength. When Yang Xin heard this, he stopped doing it and shouted, "What about me? Yang Xin rubbed his eyebrows and said with a wry smile: "Yang Xin, the heavy armored cavalry on your side is the most important thing." I've already decided on the number of the heavy cavalry.

In the days to come, all the resources will also be opened up for the supply of heavy cavalry. But the premise is that you have to train qualified heavy cavalry as soon as possible. Yang Xinyan said, his face turned red, and he muttered: "I want to too!" But you're asking too much. Yang Dezheng sighed and said, "I will send Peng Pai to help you when I go back, and I will also explain to my wife and ask her to help you choose people." In the Great Song Dynasty, Liao State, Tianjing New Town, Dangxiang, and the territory of the Four Kingdoms, I think it should not be too difficult to select 6,000 heavy armored cavalry candidates.

I will help you find all the manpower as soon as possible, and you yourself have to strengthen your military literacy.

When the time comes, I can teach them. Yang Xin blushed and nodded. In the territory of the four countries, the selection of 6,000 heavy armored cavalry candidates is much stricter than that of the Great Song Dynasty. The people who are selected will also be stronger. It can be said that according to Yang Dezheng's description, the preciousness of the heavy armored cavalry he selected is comparable to that of the Jinshi of the Great Song Dynasty.

The three people in the city gate tower all saw that Yang Dezheng had high hopes for the heavy cavalry. The four of them chatted for a day and a night in the city gate building, which can be regarded as the deployment of all the troops in Fuxing Mansion and Datong Mansion, as well as the station, number, and focus of the three armies.

The next day, early in the morning. The four of them were very drunk, and lay down in the city gate building and fell asleep. Peng Pai held an account book and quietly appeared in the city gate building, waking up Yang Dezheng. "Young master, we're done counting. This time, General Fan Long robbed the property, most of which was mainly gold and silver. If converted into silver, it should be more than 20 million taels. ”

"Hiss~" Yang Dezheng rubbed his hangover and aching head and gasped. "So much?" It should be more than 60 million taels. Chen Dayong, the fourth division of Tianjing New Town, took away more than 40 million taels. Peng Pai said excitedly: "We still have what is left after the rewards for the soldiers are removed. ”

Yang Dezheng pushed off the wine jar that fell on his body, sat up, and said thoughtfully: "You mean, there are nearly 20,000 more nouveau riche under my command at once?" ”

Peng Pai hurriedly nodded. "Haha~" Yang Dezheng grinned and said, "Go, tell them to add another month to the original one-month vacation." ”

Peng Pai said blankly: "Why is this? Yang Dezheng smiled sheepishly: "You must always prepare a little more time for the soldiers to spend the money." It is also necessary to let the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty see that our two governments are rich. ”

Peng Pai frowned and exclaimed, "Isn't that all the money earned by them?" Yang Dezheng smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand, you don't understand, only by letting these businessmen see that we have money, they will plunge in." ”

"And then?" "And then there's money and money, and it's endless." "What's the money-making method?" Yang Dezheng glared at Peng Pai and scolded: "What do you do when you ask so much?" Are you still going to go into business? Peng Pai also realized that he had lost his words, and smiled dryly. Yang Dezheng stretched his waist, lying on the ground last night, it was inevitable that his body bones were a little uncomfortable, so he needed to move.

While he was moving, he continued to instruct Peng Pai, saying, "When the money is in hand, you have to spend it, and then let the money make money." You go and organize a group of craftsmen and start building more houses in Daizhou City and Shengzhou City. A hard-working general like Fan Long should have his own house. Otherwise, when you get old in the future, you won't even have a belonging, how pitiful it is.

In the future, officials above the battalion level will be given a corresponding set of houses. Relieve them of their worries. Peng Pai's pupils shrank, and he whispered, "Wouldn't it be too generous?" Yang Dezheng rolled his eyes and said, "If you want the horses to run, you have to give the horses grass." ”

Then, Yang Dezheng continued: "Send another 10 million taels to Sun Zhi's hands, and order him to quickly step up the construction of the two mansions." At the same time, after the farm was over, he asked him to recruit the people and pay them. Let the people build the bridges and roads in the two provinces widely.

Schools in all prefectures, counties, towns, and villages must also be built quickly. At the same time, you can also use money to recruit talents from the Great Song Dynasty in large quantities and go to the two governments to work. Talents are not limited to scholars, but also craftsmen and other people with a skill. In the territory of our two prefectures, there is no grade division of Shinong, industry and commerce.

As long as they can add bricks and tiles to the construction of our two prefectures, they will be treated equally. Peng Pai glared and said in astonishment: "Young master, if you do this, you are provoking Confucianism, and you will be hostile to Confucianism." Yang Dezheng smiled sarcastically and said, "I, what kind of Confucianism, just that group of people, is also worthy of being called Confucianism?" It's simply smearing the face of the Holy Master. Under the guise of carelessness, he takes advantage of everything, and he is embarrassed to call it Confucianism.

Others treat them like babies, and in my eyes, they are not even as good as shit. Peng Pai pinched a cold sweat for Yang Qi in his heart. Provoking the entire Confucianism is even more terrifying than provoking the entire Great Song Dynasty. I don't know who gave Yang Qi the guts.

Yang Dezheng seemed to see Peng Pai's thoughts, and he smiled happily: "I won't do anything about deposing the hundred schools and respecting Confucianism." In the future, wherever I have jurisdiction, I will definitely let them contend. Besides, they did the same thing in Tianjing New Town, they still have the prime minister, I don't have it here, um! ”

Peng Pai used to be a scholar, and he felt that Yang Dezheng's heart-wrenching remarks trembled in his heart when he listened to them. It's horrible. It's more terrifying than leading troops into battle. Yang Dezheng saw Peng Pai's frightened appearance, so he waved his hand and let him go down.

Yang Gui had already woken up, but after hearing Yang Dezheng's heroic words, he hurriedly pretended to be asleep. I spent 10 million taels in one go, and I didn't even blink my eyes. Yang Gui has really never seen this kind of person. Even if it was Zhao Heng, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, if he spent 10 million taels, it would hurt for a long time.

Yang Dezheng's practice of making money with money, Yang Gui doesn't understand. But Yang Dezheng doesn't care about money, Yang Gui did see it. After Yang Dezheng washed up, Yang Gui also 'woke up', and Yang Xin and Fan Long also woke up. After the money for the revival of the Rangers has been calculated, it is time to officially hold a celebration banquet.

When Yang Dezheng took Yang Gui and the three of them to Guancheng. Chen Yao had already prepared a banquet to celebrate. Yang Dezheng held a wine glass, explained some heroic words for 40,000 soldiers and horses, and then announced the start of the celebration banquet.

In an instant, Fuxing Pass was transformed into a sea of wine and food. The Revival Rangers are heroic. Not only did they drink wine and eat meat, but they also sang and danced. Yang Dezheng also followed and enjoyed with everyone.

A heroic celebration banquet lasted for three whole days. After three days and three nights of revelry.

Fuxing Pass is calm again. Everyone is starting to get into a new round of busyness. After Yang Gui learned that Yang Dezheng was throwing a large amount of money, he immediately applied for a sum of money from Yang Dezheng. On the basis of Fuxing Pass, he planned to build a section of the city wall to the mountains on the north and south sides.

As long as this section of the city wall is formed, then if the Liao State invades again in the future, they will not have to worry about the Liao army sneaking up on both flanks. In fact, Yang Dezheng was not in favor of continuing to build the city wall. The role of the city wall, after the appearance of gunpowder, became a little more subtle. However, Yang Gui told Yang Dezheng that building the city wall would not cost the people.

Rather, it is a process of exercising and honing the willpower and sense of accomplishment of the soldiers. Yang Dezheng was persuaded in this way, and happily gave Yang a large amount of money. Fan Long also received a sum of money, which he deserved.

It is also Yang Dezheng's reward to Fan Long, without any additional conditions. However, Fan Long was not idle, and after disbanding the soldiers and horses with the new number of rangers, he left alone with his own money.

It is said that he has not been back to the mountain for many years, and he wants to go back to see it. After Yang Xin got Yang Dezheng's support, he began to take Peng Pai to pick people all over the world.

Yang Dezheng was not idle. After the celebration banquet, he escorted the remaining wealth back to Daizhou. At present, Yang Dezheng's forces in the northwest are the most complete in Daizhou. At the same time, Daizhou is also the closest place to the Great Song Dynasty.

It is convenient for Yang Dezheng to recruit talents here. The most important thing is that there are pregnant people in the family, and it is time to give birth, so Yang Dezheng has to stay in the house. ……

Fengcheng. In the palace, when Sun only prepared all the procedures for the transfer of power in Fengcheng, and waited for Chen Yao, who came to Fengcheng to take office, the whole person was shocked.

Chen Yao himself did not have anything to surprise Sun Wei. What really surprised Sun Wei was that Chen Yao was followed by several carriages full of belongings. Seeing these belongings, Sun only didn't care about handing them over, and quickly rushed to the carriage, shouting with trembling hands: "How much money does this have?" ”

Chen Yao was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "300,000 taels, Huhou allocated it to me, let me dredge the roads leading to Fengcheng as soon as possible, and repair the Fengcheng yamen and streets." ”

Sun only wailed: "How can there be so many? Yang Dezheng, who has no conscience, will deduct the swishing one for the official, and give you this old subordinate, one dial is 300,000 taels. Chen Yao jumped off the horse, arched his hand at Sun Wei, and glared at Sun Wei with an ugly face, "Master Sun, you don't have to be cheap and behaved." My little appropriation is not even enough for a fraction of what Huhou allocated to you. ”

Sun was stunned and said, "Have you also allocated funds to this official?" Why didn't I see it? Chen Yao rolled his eyes and said, "This time, General Fan Long has captured a lot in the Liao State. Huhou allocated 10 million taels to you in one go. So much money is enough for you to tear down the two mansions and rebuild them again.

10 million taels, a large number, not convenient for escort. So Huhou will put you in Fuxing Mansion City. That is, the former Katsushu Castle. Without saying a word, Sun rushed into the official office, took out the official seal, stuffed it into Chen Yao's hand, and then rode his old donkey, urging the old servant, and hurriedly ran to Fuxing Mansion.

Sun only hurried for three days, and finally arrived at Fuxing Mansion. After entering the yamen of Fuxing Mansion and verifying his identity, he hurried to the treasury to see the 10 million taels of money.

The wealth of 10 million taels is full of Fuxing Mansion's treasury. Since the treasury is not large enough, large sums of money are simply placed outside. There are nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses guarding all around, all of whom are veterans of the revival army. After Sun only saw this huge sum, he cried.

Immediately, Sun only ordered people to summon all the officials in charge of the two prefectures to the yamen of the Fuxing Mansion. With the money Sun Zhi, the waist board is unprecedentedly hard. He unceremoniously followed Yang Dezheng's orders, began drastic reforms in the territory of the two prefectures, and vigorously engaged in construction. After the spring wheat is harvested, the winter wheat is just planted.

Almost all of the people in the two prefectures who were idle were mobilized. Unlike previous requisitions, this requisition is almost entirely about using money to open the way. The people, who have been poor for most of their lives, have been completely mobilized by money. More than 1.6 million people in the entire territory of the two prefectures have joined in the vigorous construction.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
