Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh stay behind arrangements
"Hedgehog! I'm going to leave an association in Liaodong, leave the craftsmen and military households to you, and give you a town establishment. You will be the commander of the town, and Fu Sheng will be the deputy. Is there any problem?" The person has already been seen.
When everyone arrived, Wu Shigong got straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Yes! Sir!" Yu Ji immediately beamed with joy, "Sir, please give me a good name and give this town a good reputation!"
"Just call it...Wolf Leap!"
After hearing this name, the joy on the faces of Yu Ji and others became even stronger. This is the name of a regular town. In this way, Yu Ji will also squeeze into the ranks of the first-line generals of the Runing Army.
"Sir! Can Langyue Town recruit troops and fully recruit the town's establishment?" Yu Ji continued to ask.
Wu Shigong nodded to Yu Ji and smiled: "This is what I want to tell you next. Now we have 4,000 people lent to us by General Wu from Ningyuan, as well as a group of supervisors and military supervisors who lent us
Thousands. In principle, those people have to return it, but they have to ask before they leave. If they want to stay, they can stay. But one thing is that everything left behind must follow the rules of our Runing Army. Otherwise, we will not hesitate.
Use military law."
"promise!"
"But I estimate that there are not many people left, only a few thousand at most. Don't force it, let alone force them to stay. After all, many soldiers' families are in their hands. Therefore, I will leave two people to Zhenyuan City.
Thousands of war horses, a thousand mules and horses, and you will be equipped with 60 large and small artillery pieces, 150 eagle blunderbuss and three-eyed fire blunderbuss, plus 300 fire blunderbuss from our Runing Army. Although most of these firearms
They are all used by the original army, and they are inferior to those of our Runing army, but they are enough to defend Zhenyuan City."
"The families of those craftsmen and military households will be brought to the city, and labor will be arranged to cultivate the wasteland around the city after spring. The conditions for them are better, and they may even be exempted from rent for the time being. However, all the food produced must be kept in the city.
, to ensure the supply of our Runing army. At most, we will buy it with silver when the time comes."
"In this way, nearby military households may defect to us. We must arrange them well. When there are more people, we can set up farms and villages, build a team to protect the villages, and finally select the best among them to recruit soldiers. Also, the Han slaves and grasslands who fled south
The tribes that have taken refuge in the army can also be gathered to supplement the manpower and military strength. Here I will give you the bottom line, you can have as many soldiers as you can recruit, there is no upper limit."
"But there is one thing to remember! We must ensure that Zhenyuan City is self-sufficient. Especially the self-sufficiency of grain and grass must not affect production. We would rather have more people who are semi-off-the-job, at least they can help defend the city, and fully-off-the-job soldiers.
Be cautious. Don’t be too ambitious. Prioritize the defense of Zhenyuan City. Don’t always think about taking the initiative!”
"Ah——!? Sir! Can we still take the initiative?" Fu Sheng couldn't help his surprise at this moment and blurted out.
"Look at Xiaofu! If I really don't give you a few more instructions, I don't know what will happen to you by then? Maybe you can tear down the house and dig up the ground!" Wu Shigong said with a smile.
It immediately caused laughter in the tent.
Wu Shigong waved his hand to ask everyone to be quiet. Then he said: "Here, we must not forget our old business. We have to rob the cattle and sheep on the grassland, the population, and the caravans that trade with the Tatars. But we must be careful.
, you have to be careful every time you do it. People’s safety comes first, and you would rather not do it if you are not sure.”
"But sir!" Yu Ji asked, "The tribes on the grassland are nothing. But many of the caravans have some relationship with other officers and soldiers. If we do it, we are afraid of causing any discomfort."
"Ignore these!" Wu Shigong waved his hand and said, "Many things were messed up by these people who cheated on others. But you must also listen carefully to the next words: not only must we guard against the Tatars and Mongolian tribes, but also other officers and soldiers; not only
Beware of them launching cold arrows from behind. Beware of them openly attacking each other. In a word, just treat it as being surrounded by enemies on all sides!"
"When I leave this time, I will leave behind all the food and grass, which should be enough for you for a year. I will also leave behind a large amount of gunpowder and other weapons. Before you become self-sufficient, I will also send a caravan to deliver supplies to you.
I will also send you a batch of silver coins in the future."
"Ye Chao!" Wu Shigong looked at Ye Chao, "From now on, you will be responsible for the internal affairs of Zhenyuan City, as well as logistics, farming and other chores. But you must be careful: you must not allow the Han people and Mongolian tribes who fled south to us to settle in the city to prevent any
Spies sent by the Tatars. At this point, Lao Ha, you have to assist Ye Chao. Only those who are approved by Lao Ha and Yu Ji and you three can give them national treatment and treat them like our own people."
"Old ha!"
"The Mongolian tribes that came over will be dispersed, and they will be managed by you. Those who farm will be dispersed to the fields and villages, and will be managed by Ye Chao; those who herd will be managed by you. If there are Mongolian soldiers, you and the Runing Army will be dispatched.
The officers share the management.”
"Yes! Master!"
"Those who live outside the city can build an acropolis or military fortress. Only when the Tatar army is really invading can they be allowed into the city. And they must be placed in one place, not close to the city gate to prevent
The spies offer the city."
"promise!"
"Okay, that's all for the time being. But in whatever you do, you must master the principles and be flexible. After all, you are alone outside the pass and surrounded by enemies on all sides, so you must have the determination to fight to the death and the courage to not be afraid of difficulties.
However, you must remember: people are the most important. If nothing can be done, you can abandon the city and bring the people back to the pass."
"We will definitely live up to your trust! We are here in the city!" Yu Ji immediately stood at attention and said with determination.
"People are in the city!"
"Haha!" Wu Shigong smiled and gestured for everyone to sit down, but at this moment, there was a burst of noise outside the tent. Wu Shigong immediately frowned and shouted outside the tent: "What's the matter?"
A soldier came in, clasped his fists and reported: "Sir! There is a group of people outside, saying that they are sent by the Hou Mansion. The leader is a housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, saying that there is something urgent in the Hou Mansion and they want to see you."
"Huh?" Wu Shigong was shocked. He didn't know what happened to his wife Xue Yufei. Since he had already finished his instructions, he waved Yu Ji and the others to leave, and then asked his soldiers to call the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion.
Come in.
The butler who came in looked familiar to Wu Shigong, but because he had not lived in the capital for a long time, Wu Shigong couldn't remember the name of the butler.
As soon as the butler entered the account, he bowed deeply to Wu Shigong and said with a joyful face: "Congratulations to the Fourteenth Young Master! I would like to express my congratulations to the Fourteenth Young Master." (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature for better and updated novels.
