Looking at the scattered Wuwei soldiers, a Duyu Marquis hesitated, and finally couldn't help but speak: "May I ask Xianggong, how will we be settled?" ”

Hearing this, Han Zhen glanced at the middle-level generals of the Wuwei Army and said, "Huang Kai will stay in the army, and the rest will also be released in the field. If you don't want to farm, you can also go to the city to find a job. ”

During the period when Liu Qi commanded the Wuwei Army, he only found that this person still had the value of cultivation, and the rest of the generals were rotten.

Strategize and be courageous, not a single one.

It's a whisker, a horse, a drinker, and a gambler, and he's very proficient.

What's the use of this kind of person staying, he doesn't even have the qualifications to be a big soldier, and he wastes food in vain.

Farming, workmanship?

That Du Yuhou's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

I think he is an official after all, although he is a low-grade military attaché, how can he be insulted like this?

Thinking of this, he was unwilling to say: "I want to see Commander Yu!" ”

Han Zhen didn't bother to talk nonsense, just gestured.

The next moment, the sound of the cloth tearing sounded.

An arrow shot accurately into the chest of the Marquis of Duyu, and came out of his body.

Blood flowed out, and soon the ground of the school yard was red.

The soldiers of the Armed Guards on the school field watched coldly one by one with their bounties in their hands, and some even showed a look of happiness, eager to clap their hands.

These generals have bullied themselves a lot on weekdays, and they deserve to die.

Han Zhen said coldly: "Don't be ashamed, kill them all!" ”

He promised yesterday that he would not kill them, but only if they knew each other and were obedient.

If a fool kicks his nose in the face, he will naturally not be soft.

As soon as the words fell, the remaining generals of the Wuwei Army fell to their knees one after another.

"Forgive sins, I am willing to work, I am willing to work!"

"Me too!"

"I'm all listening."

If the official is gone, it will be gone, how can a small life be important.

Han Zhen waved his hand, and the Qingzhou Army soldiers on the periphery of the school field lowered the strong crossbow in their hands.

Seeing this scene, those generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said gratefully: "Thank you!" ”

After that, they left the school field one by one, packed up their softness, and left the barracks with the veterans.

Looking at the backs of these people leaving, Han Zhen set his eyes on Huang Kai and ordered, "I heard that your martial arts are good?" ”

Gollum!

Huang Kai swallowed his saliva, hugged his fists and replied: "Hui Xianggong, I have learned some gun and stick kung fu, and I can't compare to Liu Dutong." ”

"Literate?"

Han Zhen asked again.

In fact, in ancient times, there were almost no people who practiced martial arts who were illiterate.

Poor and rich are not just talking.

Those who can learn martial arts are all from well-to-do families, and they are not bad at studying.

If you want to say how good your knowledge is, it may not be enough, but it is no problem to read and hyphenate and know some simple arithmetic.

For example, Liu Qi, don't look at him when he hears that he is going to die, but in fact, his literary literacy is not bad, at least much higher than Han Zhen.

Even, this guy can also write poetry.

Sure enough, I saw Huang Kai reply: "I went to Mengxue in my early years. ”

Han Zhen ordered: "In this case, you should be the head of the cavalry battalion." ”

"Thank you!"

Huang Kai's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly bowed down to thank him.

It's just a small chief, but it's a cavalry battalion.

……

Hu Cao, the head of the county government, had already received his orders.

Not long after, Hu Cao joined the army and led two hundred officials to the outside of the barracks.

After borrowing tables and chairs from the barracks, they began to register and divide the fields for these disarmed and returned soldiers.

Han Zhen's hands are all good fields, after all, with the appetite of officials like Liu Mi and Zhao Ting, low-grade dry fields can't get into their eyes.

Not to mention that the wind and rain are smooth, even if there are fewer disasters, the implementation of the rotation method, at least one stone of grain can be harvested per mu of field in a year.

If you are more industrious, deep ploughing and weeding, and frequent irrigation, it is not uncommon to yield two stones per mu.

After paying fifty percent of the rent, the rest is enough for a family of five to eat for a year, and there is still some surplus.

Of course, the most important thing is that there was no exacting taxes under Han Zhen's rule, otherwise no matter how much output per mu is, it will be in vain.

"No, the prime minister just said that it was fifty percent of the rent, but how did it come to you that it became sixty and a half?"

Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the noisy crowd.

This scene immediately attracted the unkind eyes of countless veterans.

Qi Meng's expression remained unchanged, and he said unhurriedly: "Fifty percent of the rent is dry land, and among the fields allocated to you, there are three acres of paddy fields. Paddy fields can be grown with rice and have higher yields, so how can they be compared with dry fields? ”

In an instant, the soldiers, who had not looked good, immediately looked abrupt, and looked at the soldier with a deep envy in their eyes.

That's a paddy field!

Shandong is arid and paddy fields are scarce, so it is particularly precious.

The paddy field can grow Zhancheng rice, even in the north, it can be harvested twice a year, and the yield can not be compared with wheat and corn?

Moreover, rice is a precious grain in the north, and one stone of rice can almost buy two stones of corn.

Besides, the prime minister promised that after seven years of lease, the fields would belong to them.

The value of an acre of good paddy field is clear, and they know it in their hearts.

At this time, I saw Qi Meng continue: "If you think the rent is high, I will replace three acres of paddy fields with dry land, so that the first year only needs to be fifty percent of the rent, can you?" ”

"I don't change, I don't change!"

The veteran shook his head.

What are you laughing at?

The paddy field was replaced by a dry field, but his arm was slashed, and his head was not broken.

This is Han Zhen's benefit to the wounded soldiers.

After all, paddy fields were scarce, and so many soldiers could not divide one acre per person, so it was decided to distribute them to the wounded soldiers.

Don't suffer from widowhood and suffer from unevenness!

Distribute it to the wounded soldiers, and the others will complain a few words when they are in the sky, and a few sour words will be good luck for the dog.

Of course, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and there will always be people who hold grudges, but a few people can't make a splash.

After handing over the discharged soldiers to Wang Weizhong for placement, Han Zhen began to deal with the prisoners of war of the Dare Blaze Army.

Surrounded by soldiers, Han Zhen stepped forward to the prisoners of war.

Compared with yesterday's nervous Wu Wei Army, these prisoners of war who dared to blaze the army were much calmer.

Because they knew early on that these Qingzhou soldiers would not do anything to themselves.

Counting the days, the prisoners of war who stayed in Shouguang and Changle are estimated to have returned to their hometowns to reclaim the wasteland.

Anyway, life is worry-free, it's nothing more than being a soldier and farming.

Looking around, Han Zhen didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "What I said just now, many people must have heard it." Repeat, join my Qingzhou army, 500 Wen Yue, three dry meals a day, one meat meal for three days, merit will be rewarded, and punishment will be punished! If you don't want to join the army, stand up! ”

Dare to blaze the army, you look at me, I look at you, no one stands up.

What kind of jokes, aside from the sidelines, just three dry meals a day is enough for them to stay.

In fact, at the time of the initial incident, they had eaten a full meal for a few days.

At that time, there were few people, and every time he grabbed money and food, Zhang Wanxian would distribute it on the spot.

It's just that with more and more people, seeing that it is not a way to eat Haisai so nonsense and sit on the empty mountain, Shi Wenhui proposed to concentrate food and distribute it according to demand.

Soldiers who have to fight can only eat a full meal the day before, otherwise they can only be full in peacetime.

This person, once he has experienced the feeling of having a full meal, it is not easy to make him hungry.

In particular, Zhang Wanxian has always cultivated the Dare Blazing Army as a wolf army.

Even if Han Zhen didn't send troops to attack Zhang Wanxian, it wouldn't be long before the Dare Blaze Army would have civil strife.

Wolves that can't get enough will eventually turn their heads and eat their owners.

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one stood up, Han Zhen couldn't help but smile and nodded: "Since that's the case, then I'll take you as a promise." My name is Han Zhen, the commander of the Qingzhou Army, and you can call me the commander in the future, or you can call me the county magistrate. ”

"I don't care what you did in the Dare Blazing Army before, and no matter what rules Zhang Wanxian once set, since you have joined my Qingzhou Army, you have to abide by the rules of my Qingzhou Army. My rule is very simple, that is, obedience, absolute obedience! ”

The smile on Han Zhen's face gradually converged, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he said loudly: "After the order is issued, I don't want to hear the word no, but obey the order!" Do you understand? ”

Nearly four thousand Dare Blazing soldiers were furious by him, and hurriedly said, "Understood." ”

Listening to the sparse answer, Han Zhen suddenly shouted: "I didn't hear clearly!" ”

"Understood!"

The prisoners of war were suddenly frightened and shuddered, and shouted at the top of their voices.

Seeing this, Han Zhen showed a satisfied look and ordered: "Go to the cafeteria for breakfast first, and after half an hour, gather at the school field!" ”

Half an hour later.

After breakfast, the prisoners of war of the Dare Chi Army, the Wu Wei Army, and the soldiers of the Qingzhou Army, a total of more than 11,000 people, lined up in a neat line, standing quietly on the school grounds.

In the barracks of Linzi County, there are still more than 1,000 soldiers.

Now the total strength of Han Zhen's troops, even if not counting the auxiliary army, is close to 13,000 people.

There are still 7,000 people short of the scheduled 20,000 regular troops.

These 7,000 people can only be slowly recruited from the people of the county town.

After letting Nie Dong read out the military order as usual, Han Zhen began to reorganize the army.

The cavalry battalion remained independent, and the cavalry was selected as before, drawing elite from the foot soldiers.

For this point, both Nie Dong and Wei Da agreed.

As a hundred battles of the Western Army, they know too well in their hearts how important an elite cavalry is!

Therefore, the cavalry battalion has always been a crack strategy.

Each one is carefully selected, and the physique and courage are all the best choices.

In addition, Han Zhen set up a separate scout battalion among the original three infantry battalions.

In this operation, the scout battalion contributed a lot.

If it weren't for the scout battalion neatly solving all the eyes and ears of the Dare Blazing Army, Nie Dong's surprise attack plan would not have gone so smoothly.

The number of scout battalions was 1,000, and Luo Jing was promoted to the commander of the scout battalion because of his outstanding military achievements.

The selected Armed Guards and the soldiers of the Dare Blazing Army were all scattered, mixed into squads, and distributed in three infantry battalions.

At this time, Han Zhen's previous strategy of elite soldiers finally showed its usefulness.

With the old leading the new, and the veterans who were carefully trained as the backbone support, they can immediately form a large army and quickly have combat power.

Moreover, all of these veterans are literate.

Even a rough man like Nie Dong who is not very talented has mastered five or six hundred words, and there is no problem at all in writing and communicating normally.

It was busy until the afternoon that the affairs of the military were properly arranged.

Inside the White Tiger Hall.

Nie Dong, Liu Qi, Xiao Wu, Zhang He and other generals above the battalion level are all here.

Han Zhen said slowly: "There is a letter from Linzi County, the firearms workshop is operating normally, and it can currently produce eight hundred firearms per day. After three days, the first batch of firearms will be delivered to the docks, where you will send troops to meet them. ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.

Firearms are finally coming!

Liu Qi couldn't help but ask: "County magistrate, what is the first batch of firearms?" ”

"The number of the first firearms was three thousand."

"So little?"

Liu Qi frowned.

"Huh!"

Han Zhen sneered: "It's good to have three thousand, Wei Dalian doesn't want to give you any of them!" ”

The soldiers in Linzi County also need firearms drills.

Liu Qi pursed his lips and couldn't help but glance at Nie Dong, meaning that he wanted him to discuss with Wei Da to see if he could give them more.

However, Nie Dong ignored him at all and didn't squint.

Han Zhen instructed: "After this batch of firearms arrives, priority will be given to the veterans of the cavalry battalion and infantry battalion for training, and the new army will wait for the time being." ”

Training with firearms is a luxury, especially for an army of more than 10,000 people, and the amount of firearms consumed each month is staggering.

But you can't do it without practice.

This thing is not a sword, a gun, a sword, a mishandle, will kill a piece of their own people.

This thing was made up by Han Zhen himself, but to be honest, Han Zhen didn't know the bottom of his heart.

Each lead is hand-kneaded by craftsmen, and it is completely impossible to determine how long it will explode after ignition.

This requires a lot of hands-on practice for the soldiers to gain experience.

Moreover, the war horse also needs to become familiar with the loud sound of firearms exploding.

Otherwise, when they waited on the battlefield and threw a round of firearms, the enemy army was in chaos, but the horses on their side were also frightened.

Only by making the war horses and the livestock in the army completely adapt to the sound of firearms explosions can they be applied to the battlefield.

Han Zhen added with a serious expression: "You all know the power of firearms, so you must be careful when practicing, safety is the first priority." ”

"The last will be saved!"

Everyone nodded in unison and responded with fists clenched.

"I have one more errand here......"

Before Han Zhen's words fell, he saw Nie Dong and a few people standing up, scrambling to ask for their lives.

"The last general wants to go!"

After glancing at a few people, Han Zhen's gaze finally fell on Zhang He, and ordered: "This errand will be handed over to Zhang He." Promise you a thousand steps to take Sunjia Town! ”

The last time Zhang Wanxian was exterminated, there was no Zhang He's share, and this time it should be compensated.

Moreover, he also had the intention of exercising Zhang He.

After all, real combat makes true knowledge.

Zhang He's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly responded: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Han Zhen advised: "Remember, I don't care what method you use, take Sunjia Town within five days, and don't expose it, so as to attract the attention of Zichuan County!" ”

Sunjia Town is not in Qingzhou, it is located in Zizhou next door.

Fifty miles away from Zichuan County, located at the foot of Mount Tai, it is a dangerous pass.

In fact, the towns of the Northern Song Dynasty were basically passes with dangerous terrain, and patrols or forbidden troops were stationed.

Han Zhen took Sunjia Town for two purposes.

The first is to open up a trade route, as long as Sunjia Town is taken, you can open up a trade route along the Taishan Mountains, bypassing Jinan Mansion and Dongping Mansion, to transport war horses.

Secondly, it was to serve as an outpost to prepare for the Western Army in a few months.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if you are defeated by then, holding this place can stop the attack of the Western Army and buy time for you to escape!

Therefore, Sunjiazhen must be taken.

"The county magistrate is relieved, and the general will not be dishonored!"
