You have the right to use it and it will become invalid upon expiration.
Shao Xun will not let go of a good opportunity to hold great power.
On the second day of the army's expedition, he led his troops to take over the empty Jinyong City.
Later, people opened Taicang and the arsenal, took out a considerable amount of supplies, and moved them to Jinyong City for storage.
From this day on, supplies will be replenished as they are consumed, ensuring that Jinyong City can have reserves for 10,000 people for half a year - the three cities of Jinyong are so big and can only store so much.
Chen Yougen's teaching team was expanded, mainly recruiting veterans from the lower army who had experienced several battles, and a few outstanding soldiers from the East China Sea soldiers of the upper army.
After the replacement was completed, the full strength was fifty people, and Chen Yougen could be regarded as a real team leader.
More than a thousand people from Luoyang City were laid off from the army.
It is not that they are allowed to leave. They are soldiers who have been trained for at least half a year. They understand some rules and have some superficial military skills. They are classified as "auxiliary soldiers" and are mainly engaged in logistics support work. They will be rotated into the city when necessary.
.
As for the vacancies in the upper and lower armies, they will be filled by recruiting new soldiers - the people are new, but they may not know anything, and the "new soldiers" recruited may have fought more battles than Shao Xun.
He also took the opportunity to form two new teams.
There were some casualties in the battle against Daxiamen, probably dozens of people. The leader of the team, Zhou Ying, was very unlucky and died while chasing the enemy.
This time some manpower was taken away to teach the team, leaving more vacancies.
Shao Xun broke up the third team and divided it into other teams to fill the gaps.
At the same time, the third team was rebuilt and Jin San was appointed as the team leader.
The eleventh team was created, and Lu Heigou was promoted to the team leader - Mao Er had some academic talent and was good at arithmetic, but Shao Xun didn't want him to go to the battlefield and work hard.
The two groups of soldiers came from the same sources as before: market moving coolies, dock laborers and even fiber trackers on the Luoshui and Yishui rivers.
Shao Xun passed the test one by one, assessed each person, and roughly confirmed their character before being incorporated into the army.
There are only three main tasks for these two teams: training, training, training.
Of course, although the Wang Queer Team (Team 7) has been on the battlefield, they still need to continue training.
The training tasks are very arduous. Shao Xun sometimes does it himself, and sometimes lets the teaching team do it for him.
He Lun and Wang Bing almost completely let go and let Shao Xun take over.
I don't know whether they were forced to lower their stance because of the impending war, or whether Sikong had promised them something that made them lose their ambition.
But no matter what, this is a good thing.
Some people try every possible means to get promoted, and the bigger the better, but this is because their thinking has not changed yet.
Historically, it is estimated that it took until the Yongjia Rebellion for more people to suddenly wake up and take a closer look at their past.
Smart people will abandon old outdated perceptions and redefine real "wealth" in troubled times.
Among them, those with perseverance and courage will take advantage of the rare power vacuum when the order of the court collapses, expand private soldiers, gather in cities, and wait and see the situation.
Those who don’t have that much courage will find ways to run south and seek an official position. At that time, there was no choice anymore. Those who could be governors in the past can now be satisfied with a county magistrate. Those who can be governors are not beyond consideration.
Under the general trend, everyone makes different choices, and in the long history, they leave records of whether they are complacent, ambitious, miserable, or indomitable.
People are inherently different.

Recruiting new soldiers, reorganizing the troops, and conducting rigorous training are not things that can be accomplished overnight.
Shao Xun was busy until the end of July, when he finally took a breath.
On the last day of July, he led 150 soldiers from the 3rd, 7th, and 11th regiments out of Ximing Gate to his manor - treating it as an armed march.
Pei Shiliu, Pei Jin, and Tang Jian went out to greet them.
"Lang Jun, I listened to you last time and occupied some more land. It's true that no one took care of it." Pei Jin said with admiration: "There are also villagers who brought land to donate. As long as his family can be kept safe, the land will be safe."
No more."
"How did you do it?" Shao Xun asked.
"We have taken them all in. Now there are fifty or sixty farmers, and there is no land for farming. Many of them are unowned land. I heard that no one wanted it for sale. The owner packed up some money and went south to Yuzhou and Jingzhou.
Pei Jin said: "According to Lang Jun's instructions, we all rushed to plant grains, and they will be harvested soon."
If it were any other place, the land without an owner would most likely be taken over by nobles and powerful men, and it would not really be ownerless.
But this place in Luoyang is too special. It is stared at by too many people and has wars every year. Who can bear it? Even if you want to sell it, no one will buy it.
The entire Luoyang Basin has been losing population, and it is better to go to Yuzhou than to stay in Luoyang.
If Yuzhou is still not reassuring, then go to Jingzhou, which has basically stabilized, and hear that the governor Liu Hong is allocating land to people going south. As for how those lands came from, of course you have to thank Zhang Chang. Without war, there would be no peace.
There will be "no man's land".
New lands often miss the opportunity for spring sowing, so they can only grow short-growing grains—mainly beans.
With the threat of war approaching, this is the most suitable emergency crop. After harvesting and drying, it can be immediately used as a food reserve.
"Harvest it as soon as possible." Shao Xun said: "Pick the fruits in the manor in batches and find ways to make them into dried preserves. The livestock should be fattened as much as possible, and then slaughtered, smoked, and pickled as you like. It's up to you. The fish in the pond can be
Just catch what you catch. Send a batch of fresh fish to the army first, and make the rest into dried fish. Finally, pick up more firewood and send it to Jinyong City."
"Yes..." Pei Jin responded sadly.
The few months he spent in Shao Mansion was the first time in his life that he independently managed a large estate. It could be said to be an important sign that his life and career had reached a new level.
But now, forced by the war, he actually wanted to destroy it like a solid wall to clear the wilderness, or he would lead the people to destroy it himself.
Who can know the ups and downs in the heart?
"Lang Jun." Tang Jian took a step forward and said somewhat unnaturally: "There are a total of one hundred and four children and teenagers. They have been training for three months. Do you want to go and take a look?"
Tang Jian used to be the head of the Hebei mansion, but now he is a guest of the Shao Mansion. He only manages six other people who are also guests.
They used to hone their skills and look after homes and homes, but now they still need to manage the Luoyang orphans - orphans created by the war.
Over the past few months, Shao Xun came several times, mainly to inspect the young people's cultural and military knowledge.
Culture was taught by scholars who were trapped in Luoyang and had no food or clothing.
Military knowledge is mainly about queues and formations. The teaching team takes the time to teach them. Shao Xun also taught them two or three times.
As his status rose, he became really busier and busier, and the number of visits to the manor would only become less and less.
"Lead the way." Shao Xun waved his hand and said.
Tang Jian immediately led the way, and Shao Xun, surrounded by one hundred and fifty sergeants, quickly arrived at the orchard on the right.
Children are picking fresh fruits, mainly pears, grapes, persimmons, etc. Some people are using spear poles to hit dates, which is a busy scene.
Shao Xun was a little angry for no reason, not at these teenagers, but at the people who started the war.
But then he thought that he was also a member of the fucking war-loving group, and his anger dissipated.
Let's all "suffer for a while" first, and when the war is over, peace will be given back to you.
The three team leaders, Wang Queer, Jin San, and Lu Heigou, looked at these Luoyang teenagers curiously.
While the teenagers were busy, they also secretly looked at the soldiers who came to the manor, especially the three teenagers who were similar in age to them.
The teachings mentioned that Master Shao also brought a large group of East China Sea boys to practice literature and martial arts. These three should be the ones in front of him, right?
The two gangs of "naughty kids" from Donghai and Luoyang looked at each other for a moment, and then looked away in tacit understanding. Their emotions were a bit subtle.
Donghai Phase I, Luoyang Phase II...
The two big words "faction" seemed to fall from the sky and almost stuck to their foreheads.
"Sun He, Zhang Daniu, come here." Shao Xun shouted.
"Master Shao." The two of them put down their work and saluted together.
Shao Xun, one on the left and the other on the right, took the two most outstanding young men since the second term of school in Luoyang, came to the 150 soldiers standing neatly, and said: "Many of them started studying Chinese literature two years ago.
Practicing martial arts, now we have become a corps
Commander, very commander, team leader, you have officially led the troops. You have only learned for three months, and your gains are limited, but you must not underestimate yourselves. You must practice diligently, and you can become a team leader, very commander, team leader in the future.
Even become an official in a county, do you understand?"
"I understand." They both responded in unison.
Shao Xun nodded with satisfaction.
To be an official, one must have a good background, not everyone can do it.
But he was thinking about the future.
Now the Jin Dynasty can still maintain its prestige. Although the central authority is constantly being lost, it is still there after all. If you are asked to be a prefect, you can go to the local level, and the officials in the counties and the nobles will still recognize it, so everything
You also have to follow the rules.
Those who take the lead to challenge this rule will suffer the greatest backlash. Such people are generally called "pioneers for kings."
In later generations, some people even invented the theory that "the first initiative will lead to condemnation, and the prosperity of the palace will bring blessings".
Once the first few rebels who are the forerunners of the king are all dead, those who follow will have greater room for development and will be more likely to succeed.
To put it bluntly, someone needs to consume the remaining authority, wealth, and military strength of the dynasty in the last days, so that this dynasty, which is destined to perish, will no longer have the resources to exterminate the newly emerging careerists after its vitality is severely damaged.
In this dynasty, a number of the refugee troops who were the king's vanguard have already died, such as Qi Wannian, Shi Bing and others, as well as Zhang Chang, who died in the future.
The second batch of refugee armies began to emerge. Most of them were still destined to be wiped out. Only a few lucky ones were able to survive by having their tails cut off.
After this group is basically dead, the third group will be the end of the powerful faction, the official refugee army (begging army), the rebel army, the local generals who made a fortune in suppressing the refugee army, the Huns, Xianbei, Wubao commanders and even the ambitious ones
Aristocratic families appear in glory, and demons dance wildly - in fact, it is the same in all dynasties. Without the Yellow Turban Army as the vanguard for the king, there would be no princes to defend their territory. Without the Red Turban Army to fight against the Yuan Army in the north, there would be no Zhu Yuanzhang to accumulate strength in the south of the Yangtze River.
.
At this stage, the North will be completely out of control. Some of the "rules of heaven" and "iron laws" will not be so rigid, and some opportunities will leak out - opportunities that are extremely rare in peaceful times and unique in troubled times.
It was this opportunity that Shao Xun was waiting for.
"You can't relax either." Shao Xun turned his head, looked at Wang Que'er and others, and said: "My official position was obtained by fighting for my life, and I earned it with five scars on my body. Above the battle formation
, swords and guns have no eyesight, only by studying hard and practicing hard will it be easier to survive and make achievements."
"No!" the student soldiers responded together.
"Promise!" Under their leadership, more than a hundred soldiers from three teams also agreed in unison.
Shao Xun laughed with satisfaction.
Pei Shiliu looked around, leaned into his ear, and whispered: "Little Prince, the princess is still waiting for you to come in."
Chapter completed!
