- Ye Hongyan was the first to react and came out of the queue to bow down: "I will lead the army to fight the enemy bravely and live up to the commander's expectations!"
The other officers also woke up and bowed: "I am willing to defend the enemy for the commander-in-chief!"
"I am very pleased that you can do this!" Song Yu said.
Then he changed his mind and said, "The enemy also has a mansion, so don't be careless."
"Ye Hongyan!"
"The bid is here!" Ye Hongyan is now the commander of Dongshan City, the highest military commander under Song Yu, and is very valued. During these days, the red energy gathered on top of his head and condensed into shape, mixed with military energy, making it radiant and fascinating.
"How many people can our Xin'an Mansion have at most to serve in the army?"
"Commander Qi, according to the ancient system, one man from every five households can not harm the people! Our town has one prefecture and five counties, 25,000 households, and 5,000 prefectural troops. It has reached its limit and cannot be recruited anymore. However, There are also refugees" After Ye Hongyan got an official position, he hired staff and worked hard every night, and his knowledge greatly increased.
Song Yu nodded, most of the soldiers are young and strong, they are an important labor force in the family. If too many are recruited, what will happen to the crops in the fields? A lot of farm work will be wasted, the harvest will be greatly reduced, and it is Song Yu himself who will suffer in the end.
Therefore, now, it is basically impossible to recruit soldiers from the people of the government.
There is another option, which is to be a refugee!
Since the first year of Yong'an, natural and man-made disasters have continued. Wuzhou is relatively peaceful, which is considered good. However, there are also many refugees who have abandoned their land, forming a wave that circulates in various governments and puts great pressure on public security.
The wild environment is dangerous and difficult, and those who can survive are mostly young and strong. These are the best soldiers!
As long as there is enough food and fodder, tens of thousands of troops can be raised!
But how much food do you still have on hand? Song Yu smiled bitterly.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Yes, these refugees are the source of soldiers."
"There is an order from this town to set up recruitment notices outside the military camp. This time, let's recruit a thousand soldiers first!"
Song Yu gritted his teeth and could still support a thousand soldiers. If necessary, he could be assisted by Anchang himself. After all, the four families of Anchang had accumulated a lot over the past ten years.
But Song Yu really didn¡¯t want to use this trick unless it was a last resort.
"Follow the order!" Ye Hongyan obeyed.
"You are rectifying your military equipment and practicing every day. Don't neglect it!" Song Yu looked around. At this critical moment, he naturally could not let go of the chain. He decided in his heart that whoever dares to slack off at this time will be severely punished!
There is nothing to talk about in the past.
Song Yu thought so, and there was a chill in his eyes. When the generals saw him, their hair stood on end. Regardless of looking at Song Yu, they all lowered their heads and said:
"No!"
¡¡
Yuxi County, which belongs to Wenchang Prefecture, is not rich in products and has no famous specialties. Outside of Wenchang Prefecture, its reputation is not obvious.
There are no dangerous checkpoints here, and it is not a battle for military strategists. The transportation is somewhat blocked, and there is little coveting. The people here are blessed by this. Although they are not rich, they can still live half-full and live on.
Even in troubled times, this place is rarely affected, and it can be regarded as a paradise.
But today, this paradise has faced a disaster.
The original county town was already full of flames, and the light of fire was faintly visible, occasionally mixed with screams and cries.
Waves of militiamen holding various farm tools and wielding sickles and hoes were wreaking havoc in the county town. When they saw the more ornate houses, they rushed in with red eyes. Occasionally, there were screams, sounds of fighting, and even the cry of women. Shouting, the last group of disheveled soldiers came out, their weapons still stained with blood.
These chaotic soldiers are mostly noodles with dishes, black and thin, and their hands are covered with calluses. It seems that most of them were first -class farmers.
The rebels did not have uniforms, they only wore a piece of red cloth on their heads as a sign.
At this time, an army walked along the road. Although it was not as elite as the government soldiers, it had military uniforms and standard weapons, and was much more formal.
The rebels moved aside in fear, but calls for help could still be heard from time to time in the streets.
"Alas" Xu Chun sighed as he looked at this hell-like scene on earth.
Since Zhu Shiliu occupied the three counties, he has gathered the refugees and gained momentum. Recently, he finally left the county to attack the city and plunder the land.
Zhu Shiliu occupied three counties, and there were thousands of people. Including the refugees, the number exceeded 10,000.
The rest of the county towns only have 500 county soldiers. How can they resist?
Wenchang Mansion was in disarray again. Although the He family had the intention to stand out and organized a counterattack, they were also injured after being ambushed and defeated by Zhu Shiliu.?Fundamentally. However, the other aristocratic families in Fucheng are sweeping away the snow in front of their homes and advocate shrinking Wenchang Fucheng. The He family is alone and unable to support them.
Zhu Shiliu made great progress all the way, and finally captured Yuxi County today.
In this way, four counties were occupied, and Wenchang took most of it.
But is it really okay for Big Brother to do this? Xu Chun looked at the rebels and felt a little nervous.
Zhu Shiliu is truly elite, with only a thousand men. Naturally, he cannot attack the city, otherwise, he will be exhausted after several attacks.
His approach is to promote his faith, collect refugees, provide food and weapons, and attack the city with force.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Every time the refugees came down, the refugees suffered over a thousand casualties, but it also consumed the defenders¡¯ physical strength. After several attacks, the defenders were exhausted. After that, they sent out their elite troops, and the county seat fell.
When a land is conquered, it will naturally bring more refugees with it, and there will be more supplies. The more wars there are, the more the war will be, but the consumption will also be great. Every time a land passes, it is like locusts passing through, everything is wiped out, and it is almost as white as the ground.
Since the refugees were driven to attack the city, they naturally had grievances. Zhu Shiliu was unable to give out enough rewards after the war to win over and comfort him, so he could only launch a large-scale plunder to transfer the grievances.
Everywhere the refugees went, they were killed with heads and corpses everywhere, which affected Xie Jin and Xu Yuan. In addition to gathering the Yin soldiers, they also had to clear out the evil ghosts from time to time, which took a lot of effort.
We arrived at the county government office before we knew it.
Xu Chun went in and saw a person, wearing armor and with a slightly raised chin, it was Zhu Shiliu.
"General!" Xu Chun saluted respectfully.
"Xu Chun! Get up!" Zhu Shiliu still valued the brother he had followed since childhood, and it was rare for him to have a good look on his usually gloomy face.
"General Qi, I've seen that the refugees are not under control, they are looting everywhere, and they are killing too much. It doesn't seem to be a good thing" Seeing that Zhu Shiliu was in a good mood, Xu Chun admonished.
When this matter was mentioned, Zhu Shiliu's expression turned gloomy, and then he cursed fiercely: "Damn it, I don't want to do this either, but everyone below insists, what can be done?"
"The people below?" Xu Chun was surprised. He was talking about the temple blessings with Zhu Shiliu. These people all had some power, and later they formed a group to advance and retreat together. Even Zhu Shiliu couldn't deal with them at will.
"That's right! It turns out that when we were in Sanhe County, these guys were a little dissatisfied. Didn't they just like the good land of other big households and want to take it for themselves? Thanks to me suppressing it, nothing happened."
"Now that I'm in Yuxi, I can't help but instigate the refugees behind my back, break down the doors of wealthy families, and destroy the entire family. Hehe The roots of wealthy families are all in the fields. They only have some frivolous wealth at home, so they just give it up until the whole family dies. Guang, this land belongs to them, what a good plan!"
Zhu Shiliu said with a sneer.
Xu Chun covered his mouth, shocked. The original temple ministers were all ordinary people. Now that they have become leaders, they naturally pay more attention to their own interests and plan to seize them. Even Zhu Shiliu cannot stop them.
Not only them, the refugee soldiers also need rewards and fields. If Zhu Shiliu can't provide these, the mutiny will be trivial!
As for the harm to civilians, who among the rebels can take care of it?
Zhu Shiliu continued: "Don't talk about this, just in time, I have a few regulations here, you can go and do it for me!"
"General, please give me your orders!" Xu Chun said after coming back to his senses.
"First, the county treasury naturally belongs to us, you have to guard it well!"
This is a normal thing, Xu Chun just nodded.
"Second, all major households in Yuxi must demolish their ancestral temples, rebuild the City God's Temple, and donate half of their wealth and land as a fee for consecration from the gods."
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the aristocratic families in Yuxi County, many people go to the countryside to avoid trouble, and those who stay behind in the city are usually guarded by nursing homes. The ordinary refugees can't really attack, and the victims are mostly ordinary people, merchants and the like.
"This seems a bit harsh!" Xu Chun said with some worry. In Sanhe County, there seems to be no such harsh conditions.
"Hehe If not, how can we have money and food to reward the three armies? If you don't agree, your home will be ransacked, your property will be confiscated, and everything will be confiscated." Zhu Shiliu sneered and said, he was going to kill everyone.
"Also, ordinary people also need to invite the gods to worship, and each family should pay three taels of incense money. Otherwise, it is also a serious crime All the food and money will be confiscated and put into the refugee camps!"
Zhu Shiliu continued.
Xu Chun instinctively wanted to say that this was too harsh, but looking at Zhu Shiliu's face and the murderous aura emanating from him, he suddenly felt cold and understood everything.
The current Zhu Shiliu is no longer the Zhu Miaozhu from before.
Since the success of the rebellion, Zhu Shiliu's ambitions have become more and more ambitious., the majority of the vacated fields were taken up not by other temples, but by Zhu Shiliu himself.
As for the three taels of incense money, it is even more ridiculous! Xu Chun grew up in Anchang County, so he naturally knew that the city god was kind and the people worshiped him voluntarily and never forced him to do so. How could there be any reason to force people to break their family beliefs?
I am afraid that this is to force the people to lose their homes and become refugees, replenish their consumption, and continue to attack cities and plunder lands.
Xu Chun only felt that his current eldest brother was getting further and further away from him, and he was so unfamiliar.
Although the face is still the same as before, the feeling before can no longer be found.
Thinking of this, my eyes became hot and I almost shed tears.
He quickly lowered his head and said, "I accept the order from my humble position, and I will do this for the general!"
"Okay! You go down!" Zhu Shiliu was in a good mood and said with a smile.
Xu Chun walked out slowly, looking at the gray sky. The cries of innocent people seemed to be lingering in his ears. He couldn't help but sigh again, and an endless feeling of exhaustion surged in his heart.
