    For Zhou Chengye, expanding the Suirong Army is just his first step. The next step is to train and run the troops through new methods.  At this step, he did not want to be spotted by Turks and Tibetan spies.  Therefore, a clean and thorough purge operation suddenly started in Suirong City without any warning.  Suirong City was just a garrison fortress located on the upper reaches of the Huangshui River. The city was originally home to soldiers' homes, as well as nearly a thousand nearby people of various ethnic groups and merchants who specialized in doing business on the Tang-Tu border. All people together  There are still less than five thousand people.  One day in mid-March, the city gates of Suirong City were suddenly closed. Immediately afterwards, the residents in the city received an order from the city envoy, requiring everyone except the officers and soldiers of the Suirong Army to evacuate Suirong City and go to  He settled in Shancheng, eighty miles away from Suirong City.  Subsequently, the army in the city was dispatched to help the people in the city move!  What is surprising is that all the families of the soldiers are happily cooperating with the military operations. There are no women or children crying, but it is like a housewarming.  It turns out that just before the relocation order was issued, Zhou Chengye gathered all the soldiers who had married and their families lived in Suirong City and announced a super surprise to them.  "General Zhou used his own money to buy a large area of ??land and pasture for the brothers in Tulou Mountain, east of Shanzhou City, and built neatly-organized houses, just waiting for your aunts and children to move there!" "In Xinjian  In the Tulou Mountain Family Area, there are not only markets, private schools, medical clinics, inns, but also various workshops. After your family moves there, they will not only have a secure life, but they will also be able to earn money through work.  Children can also study, which is really much better than staying in this barren Suirong City!¡± ¡°From now on, at the end of every tenth month, the city will arrange for the brothers to take turns to go back to the family area to rest, and then there will be free rides on the Shunfeng convoy!  The carriage will transport the brothers to and from Suirong City and their family areas!¡± After Brother Shuhan loudly informed everyone of the good news, Lu Dayong and Jia Erlong were the first to stand up and express their firm support for the city envoy¡¯s decision!  , and the rest of the middle-level generals had no objections.  So this order was immediately accepted by the entire army.  As for the remaining few people and businessmen of various ethnic groups, they can choose where to go. They can either move to the Tuloushan family area with the military families in the city, or they can go to nearby Linfan City, Shancheng and other places to settle down. In short, they cannot stay in Suirong.  Inside the city.  Although a few people were dissatisfied with Zhou Chengye's somewhat overbearing order, they did not dare to resist.  Because the backbone of the city is completely on the side of the General!  What's more, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, Suirong City was acquired because of the garrison. As the lord of the city, Zhou Chengye had full authority to deal with the departure and stay of anyone in the city.  In just three days, all but the soldiers with silver identity plates hanging on their chests were in Suirong City.  Never see any idlers again!  ?According to General Zhou¡¯s words, this time all the demons and monsters were swept out of Suirong City.  However, new problems emerged soon after.  In a short period of time, the Suirong Army can rely on its own reserves to achieve self-protection, but over time.  If all the soldiers in the city participate in high-intensity military training tasks, some daily life guarantees will be provided.  How to solve problems such as laundry, cooking, entertainment, etc.?  General Tuesday, who has always made decisions before taking action, seemed to be very relaxed when faced with this problem that others might think was very difficult, and he solved it like a joke!  How did the general solve it on Tuesday?  In a nutshell, the Changliu Merchant Group will take over all the logistics support of Suirong City!  The full name of this Changliu Business Group is the full name of Chang'an Cheng'en Building and Xiliu Villa Joint Business Group. To put it bluntly, it is an industry that is completely controlled by Tuesday.  Zhou Chengye, who spent a lot of money to build a family area at the foot of Tulou Mountain, would not make a loss-making business. He had already thought about how to make up for this part of the expenditure. The answer was that from now on, the business group he controlled would be fully responsible for the logistics of the Suirong Army.  Assure.  In other words, in the future, a considerable part of the military expenditure allocated to Suirong City by the Shanzhou Governor's Office will eventually fall into Zhou Chengye's pocket.  Zhou Chengcheng didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, because he would not let the business groups he controlled make money for his own army, as long as he could ensure a balance of payments, and the real way to make money for him was  Still somewhere else.  The day after the people in the city were completely evacuated, a convoy of several hundred people drove into Suirong City under the escort of a group of guards. These people were all from the households of Xiliu Villa, and they were all Han Chinese.  Everyone is an honest and responsible banker, and the possibility of hiding Turkic or Tibetan spies inside is zero.    Because even a powerful person would never be able to buy a spy who is loyal to his country from Zhou Chengye's Xiliu Villa two years in advance!  After these hundreds of people entered the city, they immediately took over various daily chores and logistical support tasks in the city. They not only ensured the normal operation of Suirong City, but also brought many new things that had not been seen in the city before!  For example, a small Chengenlou branch appeared in Suirong City, with teahouses, chess and card rooms, theaters, public baths, noodle shops and government-run brothels!  In short, in addition to training, the three thousand soldiers in the city can enjoy all the services in the big city without leaving the city!  Of course, most of these services are not free and require everyone to use military pay to pay for them, including a night of fun in a government-run brothel.  So, what should you do if you encounter those soldiers who spend money lavishly and don¡¯t have enough military pay?  Exchange it for military merit!  Where does military merit come from?  Go out of the city to kill the Tibetan scout cavalry, seize the Tibetan war horses, and capture Tibetan slaves!  The Suirong Army has promulgated the latest detailed list of military merit accumulation and a price list of paid exchanges for various materials. It clearly stipulates that for every Tubo knight killed, ten points of military merit can be obtained, which can be exchanged for six coins; for every captured  A Tubo war horse can obtain five points of military merit, which can be exchanged for three coins; for each Tibetan spy captured alive, it can obtain twenty military points; for each leader of the Tubo Hundreds killed, fifty military points can be obtained; for each Tubo Thousand Leader killed,  The leader will receive 300 military merit points; for each kill of a Tubo general of ten thousand people, he will receive 1,000 military merits At the same time, the Suirong Army officers' goal of accumulating military merit is not limited to the Tubo people, but also to the Turks and all other enemies of the Tang Dynasty in the future.  Applicable to all!  In other words, as long as the officers and soldiers in the Suirong Army are capable, they can not only grow from soldiers to commanders on the battlefield, but they can also become rich men with thousands of wealth.  For Zhou Chengye, such a heavy reward is not a burden, because from ancient times to the present, war has been the best way to make money. As long as his soldiers obtain more military honors, the profits earned by the business group he controls will be greater.  The bigger. ? Two simple examples can illustrate the huge benefits.  For example, the Suirong Army has been equipped with enough war horses, so in the future, the war horses captured by the soldiers from the Tubo people will not need to be kept for their own use, but can only be exchanged for military merit, and these war horses can be sent to the hitchhiking line and become hitchhikers.  An important backing for the expansion throughout the Tang Dynasty.  By going in and out, Zhou Chengye saved both the high cost of buying horses and the expense and loss of selling horses. In the end, all of it turned into the profits of the horse racing industry, which was equivalent to eating from the upper reaches of the horse and carriage industry in one go.  Downstream, there is no scum left for others!  For another example, in the future, the slaves captured by the soldiers from Tubo will have no other way to deal with them except to exchange them for military exploits, which is another advantage for Zhou Chengye.  For these Tibetan slaves, they would not stupidly tie them up with a long rope on Tuesday, and then rush to the Chang'an crowd to sell them at a low price.  All adult male slaves were castrated and then rushed into the mines controlled by Zhou Chengye in Shanzhou to dig; adult female slaves were sent to the farms purchased by Zhou Chengye near Chang'an to give birth.  They were sent to government-run brothels in the city; young slaves were sent to a place called the slave corps training camp. As for the specific tasks, only Zhou Chengye knew.  As for the old slaves, I¡¯m sorry, I don¡¯t want them at all!  As for whether they live or die, that is not a matter for General Tuesday to care about.  When it comes to issues involving the life and death of two countries and nations, Zhou Chengye, who has always been bodhisattva-hearted, has become an out-and-out king of hell and a devil.  It was precisely because of the promulgation of these military orders that Tibet, a powerful plateau country that had threatened the Tang Dynasty for hundreds of years, would be gradually eroded and even destroyed for a long time to come!  When the detailed list of military merit accumulation and exchange issued by the Suirong Army on Tuesday was reported and submitted to the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion, Guo Yingyi only said one sentence after reading it: "Oh my god, it is ten times more ruthless than me!"  When General Wang Zhongsi, who came to Shanzhou to serve, saw this, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly and said: "General Zhou regards the Tibetans as enemies. It really makes me happy. I will follow his example in the future!" Of course, these are all things for later.  For the three thousand soldiers in Suirong City, from the moment Zhou Chengye took complete control of this border fortress, everyone's painful life began!  With the general¡¯s order on Tuesday, the two-month devil training begins!  In order to combat altitude sickness, Zhou Chengye personally led his brothers on a five-kilometer armed cross-country trip every day. Each person performed 5,000 chops and 100 arrows. As for other horizontal and parallel bars, balance beam, round-trip running, duck walk, javelin throw, discus throw, etc.  , that is a project that will not be left behind.  In order to encourage the training enthusiasm of soldiers,??Zhou Chengye personally took the lead in training every day, letting the soldiers see how meticulous and fierce their general was.  After more than two years of physical recuperation, Zhou Chengye is no longer the weak scholar who slept in flowers and willows in Pingkang. He insists on tempering his body and practicing martial arts from the inside out according to the methods taught by his master Zeng Qiliang every day. Now he can  Under the hands of Qin Hu and other martial arts masters, he could persist in dozens of moves without losing. Ordinary training was no longer tiring for him.  ps: Today is Children¡¯s Day.
