Lao Liu was surprisingly generous this time.

After getting the salary standard of the Red Star Army, without blinking, it doubled as agreed before.

For the 24 martyrs who died in battle, the bereavement pension of 5,000 yuan per person is only a small amount, and the most important thing is the follow-up support for their families.

Although it is not even a drop in the bucket for Liu Bei Group as a whole, it needs to be spent every year.

Lao Liu still didn't blink at this.

Except for the land that Liu Chan promised to give to the families of regular army soldiers, he still had to get out of his own private property, and Liu Chan still had to do it himself to arrange work for military families, Lao Liu almost bore all the other expenses of the Red Star Army.

As for the equipment problem, Lao Liu can also be called a hemorrhage this time.

The ratio of the Xuan Armor of the Red Star Army was set at 20:1, and the current 1,000 Red Star Army can be rationed with 50 Xuan Armor, and 2,000 is a hundred collars.

One piece of Piza armor, one piece of rhubarb crossbow, and other weapons such as crossbows, spears, swords, etc., Liu Chan can take them as needed.

In addition to the war horses, if Liu Chan wants to add cavalry to the Red Star Army, he also needs to do it himself, and in terms of other equipment, Lao Liu can be said to be very generous, and it is completely rationed according to the most elite troops.

Lao Liu didn't know that Liu Chan still had reserves in the Red Star Army, and the equipment was calculated according to the total number of people.

As for the generals and colonels in the Red Star Army, Liu Bei gave his son a miscellaneous general, one for the general and one for the general, and the general was considered Ding Feng.

There is one military Sima and three captains, these are all places, and Liu Chan can decide who to choose.

Other grass-roots officers such as military marquis, tun chiefs, and even chiefs, Liu Chan can also set them up as needed, and Lao Liu only has to pay for them.

In order to raise the combat power of his son's pro-army, Lao Liu also made a bloody investment.

If these equipment and money are spent on ordinary troops, the number of people can be multiplied several times.

Of course, this is also after listening to the detailed report of Guan Yu's father and son on the battle of Jingzhou, and understanding the combat power of the Red Star Army, he is willing to pay this money.

And Liu Chan wants to expand the Red Star Army, and Lao Liu is also a big convenience on the issue of troop sources, and the Chinese soldiers are at their disposal except for Chen Zhi's Bai Yu soldiers.

If new recruits are to be recruited, local officials will also need to cooperate fully.

It's not that Lao Liu is reluctant to give elite soldiers, but that Bai Yu soldiers are also "special forces" for special purposes.

Chen Zhi trained Bai Yu soldiers for many years, and followed Liu Bei to fight in the south and north, and his tactics had long been fixed, which was not suitable for Liu Chan's Red Star Army.

As for the recruitment of new recruits, Liu Chan also had a plan for a long time, and now that he has the support of Lao Liu, he no longer needs to recruit people from the homeless.

Moreover, during this period, the war between Hanzhong and Jingzhou was settled, and there were gateways in the east and north, and there were not so many displaced people who came to Yizhou.

It is even more rare to be able to select qualified, and then you need to nourish your body before you can participate in training, and it is too late to form combat power.

He also wanted to use next year's strategic buffer period with Cao and Sun to solve the Nanzhong problem, but he couldn't wait that long.

At this time, Nanzhong nominally submitted to Liu Bei, but the taxes could hardly be collected, and although several counties had Taishou, in fact, they either had very low control over the local area, and their lifeblood was controlled and autonomous by local wealthy and foreign tribes.

Either they have been separated from the central government, colluded with local forces, and became the emperor of the soil.

This time, Steward Zhao's caravan went to Nanzhong, and although it failed to find cotton and ore veins, Nanzhong's gold, silver, dan, lacquer, ploughing cattle, and war horses were also indispensable resources.

What's more important is the people, the people of Nanzhong are fierce, the tribes are constantly in conflict all the year round, and the martial arts are abundant, which are all high-quality soldiers.

The famous Wudang Flying Army in later generations is composed of foreign soldiers such as Qingqiang here.

Only by mastering Nanzhong can we completely grasp all the resources of Yizhou.

This was extremely crucial to the future Northern Expedition.

And in history, as soon as Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, Nanzhong immediately made trouble.

At that time, he was poor and white, and Lao Liu lost all his family.

Even the hexagonal Zhuge Prime Minister is a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, so she can only be appeased.

In the north, Cao Wei's army pressed the border, in the east, Wu Laoer, who was newly in Jingzhou, shouted every day to take Yizhou in the west, and in the south, there were three rebellious counties in Nanzhong...... This is the phrase "autumn of critical survival".

The unstable bomb in the rear of South and Central China must be resolved as soon as possible by taking advantage of the short period of peace.

Therefore, Liu Chan is ready to recruit a good family this time, of course, the treatment is announced, and whether to apply for recruitment is all voluntary.

The operation model of the Red Star Army also determines that the source of troops must be voluntary, and it is meaningless to pull Zhuang Ding.

Liu Chan is in full swing in Chengdu to prepare for the expansion of the Red Star Army, and on the Yangtze River, several large cargo ships of the Zhao family are also sailing from Jiangling to Yizhou.

Even in winter, the water of the Yangtze River will not be frozen, and there is no ice period throughout the year, which also brings great convenience to the logistics and personnel exchanges in Jingyi and Erzhou.

However, this time the ship was not carrying any grain, oak or other goods like before.

It's about 400 sturdy men and their families...... There is also the Chai Rong family who are in a worried mood.

"If you want to vote for me, you can hear that after the defeat of Jiangdong, go to Jiangling to find the Zhao family's business."

This is the last sentence that Liu Chan left for Chai Rong.

In addition to the joy of completing the task, he also began to think about the meaning of this mission after calming down.

Is it really just a test for them? That's a lot of money.

They attacked and captured the county seat, marching all the way to Weixuwu, Jiang Qin was forced to lead the army back to defense, and Jingzhou Jiangdong was defeated.

"After the defeat of Gangdong, go to Gangneung ......"

Chai Rong, who is famous in the Lujiang and Danyang areas, and many poor people in the two counties are willing to act as his eyeliner, has come to an unexpected conclusion with the information he has obtained not long ago.

single-handedly helped them plan the development route of the cottage, taught him to fight guerrillas, be a righteous thief, and choose a site to build a village...... Maybe it's someone from the government.

It is very likely that it is Liu Bei's command.

Thinking about it this way, why a bandit team can have such combat power, such a high vision and knowledge, there is an explanation.

Chai Rong was very entangled in this discovery.

To go, or not to go?

His past experience made him not have a good impression of the government, but he was really impressed by General Song Gongming's personal charm.

The most important thing is that he is not optimistic about the future of his people.

Now that he has been mentioned by General Komeito, his vision is not comparable to the original.

After Jiangdong's new defeat and the loss of troops, it is inevitable to replenish the source of troops and restore its vitality.

Where do the soldiers come from? According to Jiangdong's consistent style, the first consideration will be to squeeze Shanyue!

Although his cottage is still quite strong, it is compared with other cottages, and he doesn't think he can withstand the Jiangdong official army.

Even if you can carry it for a while, how long can you carry it? One year or two years?

Chai Rong, who struggled for several days, finally decided to vote for Liu!

The plan was decided, Chai Rong showed his vigorous and resolute side, and immediately convened the "Quartet Generals" under his command to discuss the matter.

After saying their thoughts, the other four people had different expressions.

The bearded man, who also admired Song Gongming, immediately agreed, and the other three looked embarrassed.

After several firefights with the local Shanyue, many people under Chai Rong's command have now changed.

Even the thieves in the cottage, there are no shortage of Danyang people who can't get along with Danyang people who can't go on and go up the mountain.

It can be said that his cottage is equivalent to experiencing a blood exchange.

The Quartet generals also changed two.

Many people don't want to change their current lives, let alone go to the government.

Chai Rong saw that the other three people had a difficult face, and he was not reluctant, so he immediately expressed his willingness to follow him.

If he doesn't want to go, he Chai Rong chooses one of the best choices for the "handsome" position of the cottage and gives it up.

When leaving, only the necessary money and food and the necessities of life and warfare were left, and all other money, food and materials were left behind.

Seeing Chai Rong so generous, the other three immediately smiled, and immediately congratulated the handsome on a smooth trip, and said that when you will come back in the future, you are still our handsome.

In this way, Chai Rong took a beard and led the people of his headquarters to embark on a journey to find General Song Gongming.

The reconstruction of Jiangling City is proceeding in an orderly manner under Zhuge Liang's arrangement.

Although the people of Jiangling have not yet returned, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army, whose morale is high, are not ambiguous in their work, and many of them are Jiangling people.

As soon as Liu Chan returned with his army, they resumed their network and trade routes.

Now he is actively helping to supply and transport the needs of Gangneung's reconstruction, and by the way, he has made a lot of money reasonably and legally.

Zhuge Liang, who knew who the owner behind the Zhao business was, not only did not interfere with this, but also gave a lot of convenience.

If a business really wants to become a big climate, it will always have the support of the official family behind him, and this has been the case throughout the ages.

Facing the arrival of Chai Rong and the others, as soon as the people of the Zhao family heard that they had come to find Song Gongming, they immediately remembered the instructions of Steward Zhao.

They were immediately entertained with good food and drink, and then sent to Chengdu by cargo ship.

As for what to send it for, and who Song Gongming is, it's none of their business.

Hearing that the destination was Chengdu, Chai Rong knew that his guess was right, General Song Gongming must be under Liu Bei!

But Liu Bei's general Chai Rong has also heard a lot, and he has heard of Guan Zhang, Zhao and Ma Huang, but there is no general surnamed Song.

But after thinking about it, I was relieved that I had to hide my identity and probably used a fake name at the beginning.

"Husband, I'm not familiar with this place...... I don't know what the road ahead is. Chai Rong's wife, the thin girl looked plump and healthy at this time, and she was still holding a baby in her arms.

Chai Rong didn't know the bottom in his heart, but thinking of his previous contact with General Gongming, he still comforted: "General Gongming will definitely treat me well, if it weren't for him, you and your son would have been killed." ”

Chai Rong's wife thought of the thrill of being insulted that day, and the heroic young man who led the troops to save them, and her heart was also a lot more stable.

"Let's go, let's go into town!"
