Chapter 145 The Unfinished Conquest (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Naturally, Li Xuan didn't know what happened after the Ming army returned to Longhua Town. All he knew was that since the main force of the Ming army returned to Longhua Town, they first sent many people to the countryside to look for his pseudo-Tang rebel army.
But Li Xuan was not stupid. Instead of leading the bandits from Huangzhu Mountain to stay outside the mountain and then fight with the Ming army, he quickly ran back to the mountain.
They returned to the mountains three days after leaving Longhua Town, and they came back with a lot of loot from the robbery.
Their loot was not only the gold and silver weapons they snatched from Longhua Town, but also the several villages they passed by in the last few days were all emptied. Not only were all the items packed away, but also the people
I brought them all back together.
So when they returned to the mountain, the team had swelled from more than 400 people to more than 1,000 people. However, most of the extra 1,000 people were dejected, and some women and children were crying.
Can they not be dejected or cry? They lived a good life. Usually they didn't have enough to eat or wear or keep warm. At most, a few people in the family would starve to death in bad harvest years.
But now, those demonic Huangzhushan bandits have broken their peaceful and beautiful life and kidnapped them all into the mountains. What will happen next!
Li Xuan and the others naturally didn't care about these crying people. When they forcibly annexed other bandit dens in the mountains, those women and children were also crying like this. However, after arriving at Huangzhu Mountain, they still settled down and became big people.
People of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dynasty is like a melting pot. No matter what kind of person this person was before, as long as he is thrown into the melting pot, he will be completely melted and finally become a member of the Tang Dynasty.
It was like this for other bandits who were annexed before, and it was like this for the prisoners of the Ming army, but it will still be the same for these ordinary people who were taken captive now.
After this batch of captured people is escorted back, the population of the Tang Dynasty will once again experience an instant surge, from more than 2,000 people to more than 3,700 people, a growth rate of 50%, and this
It will greatly improve the strength of the Tang Dynasty, especially its war potential.
More than a thousand people means that at least a hundred more young people can be obtained. This is enough for the Tang Dynasty King's Division to mobilize more people to join the army during war. The size of the army after mobilization is expected to exceed the existing 400 people.
A scale of five hundred people.
A large number of gold, silver, ordnance, horses and livestock were seized, which made every Huangzhushan bandit who returned to the mountain look happy. Although these seizures belonged to the public, in the final analysis they were still used for them.
For example, those ordnance weapons have been distributed a long time ago, so every bandit in Huangzhu Mountain uses brand-new Ming army standard weapons, which are much better than the various messy weapons they used before.
After several days of trekking, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty successfully arrived at Huangzhu Mountain, and a large number of old, weak, women and children came out to welcome the army back to the court.
These old and weak women and children had learned the news that all the Ming troops had left the mountain a few days earlier, so they returned to Huangzhu Mountain a few days earlier than Li Xuan and the others.
That night, Huangzhu Mountain was full of laughter and laughter. Even the cries of the more than a thousand people who had just been kidnapped disappeared after they learned that houses and land would be distributed to them for free.
Although these people are still full of uneasiness about the future, it seems that Huangzhushan is still pretty good now. There are houses to live in, fields to plant, and food to eat.
They won't cry as much as they did outside the mountains, and it might even be better.
That night, after Li Xuan gave a banquet to the ministers, he returned to the backyard quite drunk and couldn't wait to carry Dong Yunyun back to his room.
Originally, he and Dong Yunyun were in the newlywed stage, a time of passionate love. They had been separated for nearly a month due to the arrival of the Ming Army. Now, they naturally couldn't bear to see Li Xuan again.
After a hard night, the two of them slept in naturally the next day. When they got up, it was already three o'clock in the morning. When Pearl came in with a basin and a towel, she didn't mean anything to Li Xuan.
Look at the face.
When Li Xuan and Dong Yunyun were messing with the bed last night, Zhu'er pretended not to see it at first, waiting for them to finish cleaning up their affairs. But then Li Xuan and Dong Yunyun became more and more crazy, playing with each other.
When he got excited, Li Xuan even pulled Zhu Er over.
This frightened Zhu'er, thinking that she was going to lose her virginity last night, but at that time Li Xuan had already been tossing Dong Yunyun for half the night, and he drank a little too much, so Zhu'er didn't have time to lose her virginity.
He fell asleep and fell asleep.
This allowed Zhu'er, whose clothes were half-undressed, to escape a little. However, even though she hadn't done anything yet, she was forced to 'bite' her with his mouth for a long time by Li Xuan.
After Li Xuan fell asleep, not only was she completely naked, but the space between her legs was already soaked.
Although she was not friendly to Li Xuan in the past few months, since Dong Yunyun and Li Xuan consummated their marriage, she, the maid of the first wife, has often been involved in cleaning up the funeral affairs, so she has long known that sooner or later she will have to go to bed.
Under Li Xuan.
Because she knew that she was her young lady's personal maid, and she knew from a very young age that she was going to help her young lady serve her future uncle. Therefore, even if she didn't have a good impression of Li Xuan earlier, there was no point in resisting her.
Instead, he accepted it all with peace of mind.
But when things came to an end, Li Xuan actually fell asleep in the middle of the night, which made her very unhappy.
Moreover, Li Xuan slept like a pig. She shook Li Xuan several times but failed to wake him up. It made her unable to get up and down, so that she couldn't sleep for the rest of the night. She couldn't help feeling a little bit more towards Li Xuan.
Complain.
Even if she is a maid, she has no hope of receiving the same treatment as Miss Dong Yunyun, but you can't just fall asleep in the middle of it!
So today she looked at Li Xuan with resentment in her eyes!
However, Li Xuan and Dong Yunyun, two careless people, obviously didn't pay much attention to Zhu Er's mood. After the young couple lay on the bed for a while, they freshened up and dressed under Zhu Er's care.
While dressing, Li Xuan did not forget to pinch Zhu'er's face. If it was in the past, Zhu'er would definitely have turned her head in protest, but today she did not. Instead, she resigned herself to Li Xuan.
Xuan's hands were squeezing randomly and he even blushed.
Seeing the different changes in the little girl Zhu'er, Li Xuan laughed twice and then walked out.
Although he drank a little too much last night, he didn't know what he had done. Yesterday, he wanted to eat Pearl, but in the end he was unable to do so. After all, he had been working very hard this month.
In the evening, I got half drunk with the ministers, and finally took advantage of the drunkenness to come several times in a row.
Under such circumstances, even though he was young, he couldn't hold on, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
Giving up halfway was unforgivable. He was ready to recuperate and eat this little maid tonight to complete the unfinished conquest last night!
But that's for tonight. He still has a lot of things to deal with during the day.
When they arrived at the back of the meeting hall, Liu Bagou and the others were already waiting!
With the sound of the emperor's arrival, Li Xuan walked to the dragon chair on the stage and sat down. Under the leadership of Liu Bagou, the ministers also knelt down and shouted long live.
Li Xuan raised his hand slightly: "Everyone loves you!"
Originally, according to the film and television dramas Li Xuan had watched, these words should have been shouted by a eunuch with a duck voice, and should have been followed by a sentence saying, "If you have something to do, please leave the court if nothing happens."
However, there were no eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty was not acting, but no one had the courage to say "love Qing" on behalf of Li Xuan, so naturally no one did it for him.
Speaking of eunuchs, Liu Bagou originally suggested catching a few people to cut off their vaginas and serve as eunuchs in the palace, but Li Xuan firmly stopped them.
As a descendant, he did not want to have such a group of pitiful people in his harem, so he thought that the Tang Dynasty was a new one and he should create a new trend and not use eunuchs like the degenerate pseudo-Ming.
In the end, this matter was suppressed. Currently, all affairs in the Tang Dynasty Palace are undertaken by two groups: the old lady and the maids.
After the salute was completed, the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty began the court meeting that had been suspended for more than a month.
There are many things to discuss today. The first thing to talk about is how to resettle the more than 1,000 people who have newly joined the Tang Dynasty. These people cannot just ignore them after dividing their houses and fields. They must be settled well and distributed with food and farm tools.
Waiting for daily necessities to prevent them from starving to death.
In addition, in the past month, there have been quite a lot of various matters accumulated, and these have to be dealt with one by one.
However, these can be considered trivial matters. What is more important is the follow-up processing of the standing army and the Guards.
If the past situation is to be followed, after the war, the soldiers in the Tang Dynasty King's Division will return to half soldiers and half farmers. Most of the time, these young men will work in agriculture and do various things, and they will gather together for training in their free time, whether it is a standing army or a half-farmer.
The same is true for the Guards.
Especially now that we are gathering at the turn of spring and summer, there are a lot of various affairs. It is impossible for hundreds of young and strong laborers to train all day and not be engaged in production. This will have a great impact on agricultural production.
However, this time, Li Xuan wanted to change this past habit. He wanted to build a real professional army!
An army that can train and go out to fight even during the busy farming season!
Li Xuan had this plan, and as Li Xuan's number one mouthpiece, Bai Yunqi would naturally bring up this topic at the court meeting.
I saw him step forward and say: "I will tell you: In the past few battles, our army showed great majesty and defeated the pseudo-Ming thieves. It relied on long-term training. This time, although the Ming army retreated, but
The threat from the Ming army is still there, and it will definitely come back soon.
To this end, we must maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, and I believe that we should select some loyal and brave soldiers to take off work and concentrate on training to prepare for unexpected events."
As soon as Bai Yunqi said these words, he immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially Wang Shanxu, Fang Dongquan, Chen Tufu and other generals of the Tang Dynasty, all of whom looked cautious.
Because they all know that the professional army plan discussed at today's court meeting will not only affect the combat effectiveness of the Tang Dynasty King's Division, but also directly affect their personal power!
