In mid-to-late February, most people left Guangchengze and returned to Luoyang.
Shao Xun was sometimes in Liang County, sometimes in Luyang, Ye County, and sometimes in Xiangcheng, talking with his elders.
This area is considered the most iron-clad place under his rule. The real land of Longxing is located at the elbow and armpit of Luoyang. It can be reached by a quick horse in one day and only a few days of marching.
"To put it bluntly, if there is rebellion in Luoyang in the future, the city gates will be closed." Shao Xun pointed to the surrounding cottages and said, "My son can go to Hongnong first, gather the government soldiers and black army in Hanoi, and secondly go to Pingyang.
, Huangtou Army has been assembled in Hedong, and we can go south here to recruit the sons and gentlemen who were the first to follow me. By then, we will march from four directions. If there are some loyal and brave people in Luoyang, what will happen to the traitors unless they die?"
While talking, the pro-army troops, which had expanded to 2,500 people, dispersed to various places to guard.
Just like the old days when Yang Qin stood at the last post, Huang Zheng is about to leave, and next month he will serve as the deputy commander of Wansheng Army and the commander of the first battalion.
Yang Qin will serve as the commander of the Yinqianzhong camp and lead his troops back to Bianliang to rest and recuperate.
Zhang Shuo still stayed in Huainan and was promoted to the third rank of General of the Conqueror Army, but he did not open a government office. He only served as the governor of Huainan and supervised the military affairs of the four counties of Huainan, Lujiang, Ruyin and Qiao.
The basic troops under him have also undergone major adjustments. The Xianbei cavalry has returned north, and its leader Da Xiheruo is rushing to Guangchengze to meet the Holy Spirit.
When they attacked the Xiongnu before, there were three people, Zhao Gu, Yang Tao, and Liang Xun, and various tribesmen.
Among them, Zhao Gu still has 20,000 soldiers and about 14,000 families. They were sent to Yiyang County for farming and are still staying there today.
Yang Tao also had more than 6,000 families and more than 7,000 soldiers. They were in Runan before and were sent to Shouchun in the late first month of the first month. Zhang Shuo ordered him to drive to the Quyang area of ​​​​Xi to clean up the farmland left by the Huai people.
Liang Xun had changed his name to Liang Gong. He had 5,000 families and 5,000 soldiers under his command. He had previously sent them to Qiao and Pei to reclaim wasteland. In the middle of the first month, he also went south and settled in Ping'a and Wokou areas in Huaibei. Spring plowing was already underway.
All Zhao Wei's troops from Hei Shao's right battalion went south and settled in Shouchun City. They were Zhang Shuo's main force.
There are also sergeants from the Zuyue Department in Xia Cai.
There are more than 20,000 people in total, mainly infantry with a small amount of cavalry, which is all the power Zhang Shuo can control.
In the twelfth lunar month of last year, Feng Yijun's Qiang chief Xiqu Quanqu died in Huainan due to the death of his son Yiyu, so he took advantage of the opportunity that the Hu and Han people in Guanzhong were about to celebrate the New Year and raised his troops to cause chaos, which became very powerful for a time.
Jin Zheng led more than 15,000 infantry and cavalry troops eastward. At the same time, he mobilized Guanzhong Prefecture soldiers, Diaoyin soldiers, and Shangjun Hu soldiers to suppress them severely.
Years ago, Quan Qu was killed by his subordinates and surrendered.
Shao Xun then intervened in the affairs of Feng Yi's ministries, made some adjustments, and established Luodong Long Mansion near Chengcheng County in later generations.
He also adjusted the land where Zhao Gu, Liang Gong, Yang Tao and others had moved away, and divided it into Acheng and Lantian Erlong Mansion.
The required 3,600 soldiers were recruited from Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and 2,400 strong soldiers were recruited from Luonan. Hundreds of skilled soldiers with bows and horses were recruited from Luonan.
Hundreds of strong and powerful people were organized together, and the tribes were assigned to Bianliang servant households for rationing.
There are still a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left in the army of Chongyu. They have all been converted into civilian households to help them escape from the sea of ​​suffering.
In this way, the war between Yan and Hezhou has become history.
Within the Liang Dynasty, there were not many states that still had large-scale military establishments.
The new military force replaced the traditional old army and was for the new dynasty.
Shao Xun was also troubled by the messy armies and tribes in the world. This chaos lasted throughout the Northern and Southern Dynasties, until the King of Heaven sent them away one by one in Miaoshui. The trick is that when sending away the miscellaneous soldiers, he also sent away his direct lineage.
.
Shao Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with Jian's thinking.
Don't you want to keep the miscellaneous soldiers for the New Year?
What he truly trusted was the Forbidden Army he had created, the Fu soldiers, including their children. When they entered the village at this moment, the children of the Fu soldiers who had already received the news came forward one after another and looked curiously at the Taibai Star Spirit, whom their fathers said was wise and powerful.
"Long live my emperor." At the signal of the soldiers, everyone bowed down one after another.
And the "clever" one added: "Meet the Queen."
At the same time, I sighed secretly, the queen is really young.
Wang Yinling, who was holding Yuan Zhen in his arms, was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't avoid it and just stood there.
Shao Xun coughed lightly, stood in front of her, and said, "Everyone, get up."
The soldiers also knew that Lou Zi had been stabbed. They were furious and cursed in a low voice: "This is not the queen, why are you shouting?"
Wang Yingling whispered softly: "Yuan Zhen, your father is so ruthless."
Five-year-old Yuan Zhen looked at his father, then at his mother, buried his face in his mother's arms, and said, "I heard my mother-in-law, Wang Yingling, kiss her son and say in his ear: "Good boy, you are pregnant in vain."
I gave birth to you in October.
From now on, I can only rely on you - you guys. You must be brothers and be friendly, protect and help each other."
"Auntie, are you talking about Shi Yiqian?" Yuan Zhen asked curiously.
He didn't like that "brother" and had secretly beaten him before. When he grew up, he would definitely beat him back.
Wang Yingling freed up a hand, gently stroked his lower abdomen, and said, "Your brother is here."
Yuan Zhen looked at his mother's flat belly in confusion. Where is his brother?
Wang Yingling chuckled and felt much better.
Men can change, but sons cannot.
If a man is heartless, then he should train his son well.
"We are all good men, but we don't know that we are willing to go to the frontier to make contributions." Shao Xun's voice sounded not far away.
As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere became slightly cold.
Shao Xun didn't take it seriously, laughed loudly, and said: "I'm staying at home, cultivating the few acres of thin fields, barely making a living.
Does it taste good? You should take wealth and honor immediately, but you don’t even have this ambition, which is so despising."
There is no doubt that this is a method of provoking generals. It is particularly effective on teenagers, because they are prone to brain-heating and the effect is indeed good. When the emperor prodded generals, someone fell into the trap in an instant. Regardless of their parents' worried eyes, they loudly said:
"Your Majesty, I am willing to take this title."
"I am also willing to take this title." If there is one, there will be two, and soon more people will come forward.
Shao Xun struck while the iron was hot and said to Huang Zheng: "Find someone to record it and then pay the settlement allowance."
Huang Zheng understood that this was not giving them a chance to regret.
Shao Xun looked at Chang Long who was following not far away and said, "I remember that your family lives in Shiqiaofang, right?"
"Exactly." Chang Long said, "The old house is left to my brothers and sisters. I live with my mother-in-law in Luoyang."
Chang Long is the eldest son of General Chang Can of Zuo Jinwu Guard. He is eighteen years old this year.
Five years ago in Jinyang, Chang Can, a rough man, had an idea. He followed Shao Xun's advice and sent his son to him as a soldier.
Shao Xun also takes care of these noble children.
The pro-army doesn't need strong fighting ability, but loyalty and carefulness, so they cultivate him carefully and make him the team leader.
"Shiqiao Fang is considered to be the earliest group of soldiers. How many children do each family have?" Shao Xun asked.
"I don't often go back to my old house. I only heard that every household has two or three adult children who cannot serve as soldiers." Chang Long said: "The later batches are okay, not that many. But in a few years, there will be more.
"
"What do these people do for a living?" Shao Xun asked.
According to the data he found from Zuo Xiaoqiwei, the total number of Luonan, Xiangcheng Fubing and Buqu families probably exceeds 35,000 children over the age of sixteen. They can neither inherit the position of Fubing nor contribute to the Fu.
Soldiers' Part.
A while ago, Jin Zhun originally planned to recruit only 1,000 people, but in his last breath, he recruited about 2,000 people.
Hou Feihu also sent people to Luonan and Xiangcheng to recruit troops. Because the military conditions were not bad, he directly killed three thousand young men.
After getting rid of this group of people, most of the remaining people are less willing to go out and explore.
In fact, these are the children of the government soldiers. They have a strong martial spirit. If they were the children of ordinary people, it would be impossible to recruit so many of them.
"Back to Your Majesty, almost everyone in the Zuo Xiaoqi Guards was a decorated officer. Many veterans spent their life savings to buy fields. They first looked for them in Luonan and Xiangcheng, but the fields were expensive and they couldn't buy much. Later, more
Go to your neighbor
Buy land in the south. There is a lot of wasteland there and it is cheap. It is not far from Xiangcheng and Luonan. I bought the land and registered as a household there." Chang Long said: "There are still people who don't have that much money, or their parents are reluctant to part with it.
The son left his native country,
Then they would allocate the Buqu land to them for farming. However, the imperial court strictly controlled the Buqu and could not drive them away, so they could only analyze the fields. A family of soldiers often had four or five households and five or six Buqu households, two or three of which were Buqu.
The brothers of the new soldiers or even the brothers-in-law, etc."
"With two hundred acres of land to support more people, there will be less money and food for the soldiers." Shao Xun said: "Some people would rather go hungry than go to the frontier, or even leave their hometown."
"It's true, it's a lot." Chang Long said, "But I can still make ends meet. If I really can't survive, I will definitely become a refugee."
"Five years ago, there were not so many things." Shao Xun said, "The changes are so fast."
Of course this is normal.
Five years ago, I was only eleven or twelve years old, and I still lived with my father and brother. Five years later, I will be old enough to start a family.
In the peaceful world, the population growth was really fast, but it had been swept by the epidemic, otherwise it would have been even more frightening.
Two recruitments of troops were carried out, and 5,000 men were taken away, including some family members (mostly women under twenty years old and young children). The total number of people exceeded 8,000, which also greatly alleviated the problem of too many people and too little land.
question.
The government is lazy and cannot solve these problems for you all the time. It would be good if it can report once every five or ten years. Generally speaking, as long as there is no trouble in the local area and the people can barely make ends meet, they will not
No matter what.
Shao Xun recalled that when his eldest son Jindao was the chief of Zuojinwu Guards, he went to Chenliu several times to clear his father-in-law's land, and mentioned this matter. However, Zuojinwu Guards was not serious, and the population of Luonan and Xiangcheng was expanding too fast.
If Shao Xun doesn't take care of it, then the Fubing system can still be used for decades. If he takes care of it, it can continue to extend its life on this basis.
While thinking about it, Huang Zheng had already gathered together those who were willing to apply. There were about three hundred people, about half of whom were already married, some were just a couple, and some had babies.
Shao Xun calculated that among the 30,000 "Yu Ding" (sons of Fu soldiers and Bu Qu) of Zuo Xiao's Cavalry Guards, thousands of them had been taken care of by the old Fu soldiers themselves, either going to other places or becoming Bu Qu; they recruited troops twice.
Another five thousand were taken away, and today Shiqiao Defense recruited 300 people. The other defenses continued to recruit, and there was still a lot of material. It was not a problem to collect two or three thousand men. Finally, the whole family paid travel expenses and went to Hongcheng Town to serve as town soldiers.
The remaining ones are probably the "die-hards", and it is difficult to shake their minds unless they are forced to relocate regardless of human ethics. Or until they feel that they can't survive, they are willing to settle in other places.
This is a big trouble, but also a huge asset, because they have certain basic martial arts and battle formation knowledge.
"Recruit another group of people who are willing to go to Pingcheng." Shao Xun added: "Make it clear to them that those who are married can bring their wives and children. Those who go to Pingcheng will be the contemporary national bodyguards. There are many vacancies in this army that have not yet been filled.
Qi. Although it is bitterly cold in Pingcheng, the life of guarding the army is better than struggling to make ends meet in my hometown."
Wang Yingling listened on the sidelines, noticed the way Shao Xun looked at her, and kissed her son's tender face.
Yuan Zhen chuckled.
Shao Xun also smiled. It felt good that his wife and children relied on him.
After autumn, tens of thousands of people will be recruited here to march southward.
These are all good soldiers, at least stronger than Ding. If the supplies are transferred, even if the Wu people come to intercept the supply route, they may not necessarily disperse in a hurry.
If Xiangyang could be captured, Shao Xun wanted to see if these people were willing to stay there.
You're here now, what are you going to do when you go back?
