On November 20, Xu Shiyang returned to his fort.

At this time, the population of Shiwutun reached 3,000 for the first time, of which 700 were Dingkou and Banding. In today's Jiangbei, this has already broken the upper limit of the population of the dock.

But Xu Shiyang was still not satisfied. He planned to restore the two other forts that were destroyed by the Tartars this year as soon as the spring of next year (one of which is Zhao Shan and Zhao Lin's hometown). With this, the originally over-produced population seems not enough.

Besides, there is no threat from bandits now, Shiwutun can completely expand the surrounding arable land area, and all the 700-dengkou can be raised in a fort.

So Xu Shiyang looked at the refugees.

It’s winter, and it’s the second saddest day for refugees – winter is because of the cold, and the saddest thing is spring, because the food accumulated in the previous year is usually eaten up. As the saying goes, when the green and yellow are not met, refugees will start to move on a large scale.

Xu Shiyang had some surplus grain at this time, and he also handed over all the money seized from Fulaishan to his family fleet to go to the south to exchange for grain. It is estimated that a large amount of grain will be recorded within 2 or 3 months.

Under this circumstance, Xu Shiyang took out a piece of grain openly, and made a piece of grain cake with acorn noodles, and used it to recruit refugees.

People are living in cheap days. As long as they have food, they can always recruit people who are willing to eat this pancake.

Xu Shiyang also refused everyone, and accepted all the men, women, young and old. Even the weak old refugee ate the cake and drank the porridge. He was so nervous that he was exhausted that he died in the place where the food was released in Shiwutun...

Xu Shiyang was also not concerned about this. All the dead were buried in a small mat and continued to release food to recruit people. It was just to avoid those hungry people eating Haisai to death. Each person could only get one cake and half a bowl of porridge, and then put their stomachs on.

After the grain was released, Dingkou in Shiwutun expanded to 1,000, which finally gave him human capital to restore the two dilapidated forts next year.

A few days ago, Xu Shiyang had already sent Old Man Hu to the west to see it. As he thought, the fort was destroyed after harvesting this year. It was surrounded by mature land. Next year, people were sent to plant sorghum and millet. When the autumn harvest was harvested, there would be grain to recruit new people.

This is a pleasant positive cycle, and you must definitely take this step!

Of course, the big bandits in Fulaishan were destroyed, and there were still many other small bandits. Even the docks that were not very familiar around could reach out to grab them. The newly opened sub-base must have certain self-defense capabilities.

Xu Shiyang decided to retain 300 dingkous for each fort, including the 15th trough, and draw another 100 people to form a full-time standing army as a mobile force.

In this way, the security of the fort and the establishment of a new army can be taken into account.

Xu Shiyang has been thinking about the new army that is full of full training since he came here. Now, whenever he has the chance, he will naturally be formed immediately.

In terms of organization, Xu Shiyang now has 50 semi-finalized children and has drawn ten to other family forts to teach fire door gun usage techniques, and there are still 40 people left.

Xu Shiyang canceled the personal army and counted them all into the new army. The weapons and equipment were tentatively equipped with 10 short snake pole mesh guns (these weapons have not been produced yet), 20 old fire door guns with snake poles, and wooden cannons.

In addition, Jie Zhen and Jie Bao's reconnaissance team were also incorporated into the new army. This small army has practical experience (although it was very bad), has good average physical fitness, and is equipped with full-frame cold weapons (even armored, and Xu Shiyang gave them leather and cotton armor seized from the Tatars). He is already among the elite among the traditional fort soldiers.

The remaining 50 places were filled with the fastest reaction, the best formation, and the most determined ordinary castlemen when they were attacked during the last Fulaishan battle.

Xu Shiyang planned to equip them with a spear and a small round shield hanging on his left arm to form a modern "large" square formation of long spear muskets that he had been greedy for a long time.

Of course, Xu Shiyang did not dare to regard his militia as Swiss, Spanish, and Swedish phalanx spearmen. He could not expect them to resist the raids or even reverse the attacks of elite melee soldiers with just using spears combined with phalanxes.

Therefore, this team must also be equipped with some melee weapons such as waist knives to make a last-minute attempt when the gun array is broken through.

The full-time training team of a total of 100 people was formed. Xu Shiyang was naturally the commander, and he also served as the flag bearer and trumpeter (without a military horn, he was replaced by a bamboo whistle).

A new level framework launched with the Xinjun is only a small trial in the Xujia Shiwutun system.

This structure plagiarizes the military rank system of modern and modern troops in another world. From low to high, there are three-level sergeants at the bottom, middle and upper level, three-level lieutenants at the bottom, middle and upper level, and the same three-level school officer and three-level general officer, and a first-level marshal was established separately.

Below the corporals, there are two levels: veterans who have served in the treasury for more than three years, and new recruits who have served less than three years.

There are 15 levels in total, because the Xu family is essentially a large army (the so-called one to fifteenth towns means military farming). Xu Shiyang announced that within the control scope of this town, whether it is a new army or a militia, or even a woman who does not count as a Dingkou, as long as an adult man and aged 14 to 60, is applicable to this hierarchy system.

In addition to the new and veterans who are distinguished by their years of service, the other thirteen levels need credit for improving.

Everything within the scope of Shiwu Village, including but not limited to fighting and killing enemies, farming carefully, harvesting more than three or five buckets, producing more high-quality weapons and farming tools, inventing or improving weapons and farming tools, commanding production and combat, etc., and doing outstanding deeds, can be credited.

Xu Shiyang intends to add specific merit assessment details in the future. In order to give the following public a rough standard for this, Xu Shiyang officially announced a series of personnel appointments:

Xu Shiyang himself, as a captain, manages military and civil affairs of the entire dock (including the newly built dock by Shiwutun). At the same time, he will serve as the direct commander of a new dock (unnamed yet) next year.

The second-ranked character, Gongsun Sheng, will be the agent of another new fort next year. His military rank is a second lieutenant and also supervises gunpowder production.

Hu Lanshan, the second-ranked figure, was the second lieutenant, acting as the work of the Shiwutun headquarters, and was also responsible for supervising agricultural production.

These three people are a standard, telling the villagers that a lieutenant like Gongsun Sheng and Hu Lanshan can be a representative of a fortress, and then a lieutenant level can be almost assigned to the position of the fortress chief.

In addition, some guys who are ambitious about their future will probably imagine at this time: Xu Shiyang will be in charge of three forts next year, but he is just a captain. If someone can become a colonel, what kind of practical position can he get?

What about the general?
