Chapter 239: Sprinkle Coins

The next day, the Nanyang Prince's Mansion quickly posted an announcement on the people in various counties, listing the brilliant achievements made by the Jin army since entering Nanyang, demonstrating its strength, and bluntly saying that Nanyang will not be attacked by the Hu people in a short period of time. Even if it is attacked, they have the confidence to fight the Hu people back and ask all the people not to panic, let alone flee south, and do whatever they should do when they stay in their hometown, and the army has the ability to ensure everyone's safety.

On the third day, Sima Fan appeared in the outskirts of Nanyang and held a large-scale military parade. The troops participating in the military parade included four regiments of Wuhuan Tucao, three thousand veterans of Jingzhou, four thousand extraordinary troops, ten thousand Meng army who survived the death of the Hu people, six thousand newly recruited Jingzhou soldiers, and eight thousand newly recruited Guanzhong soldiers. All the above troops were covered with helmets and armor, and the array was ripe, which made people feel heartbroken. Especially when the Wuhuan Tucao was queuing with forty to forty, and especially when the imperial guards were lined up in an orderly manner, one square after another, tens of thousands of people on the Nanyang who were watching were all lost their voices, especially some powerful men who were willing to separatist and independent, and even sweated on their foreheads!

Your mother, this Sima Fan is a field mouse, and she has trapped so many soldiers quietly! How can I play this? Who said that a strong dragon does not suppress a local snake? This strong dragon can turn all these local snakes into meat sauce with one finger. OK!

The powerful men were all terrified, but the people were excited. Over the past period, whether it was Li Rui or Sima Fan, they had strictly restrained the army. Those who dared to disturb the people would be beaten by military sticks at the worst, and even if they were dozens of heads hanging on the top of the city, there were dozens of heads hanging on the top of the city. The army was in order. Although they dared not say that they were as close as a family to the people, they also had to buy things and pay for money. As for forcing the robbery of the people, the situation was not eliminated. However, after being sued by the Nanyang Palace, the villain's head could be seen on the top of the city the next day after it was found out that it was true. The people's fear of this army had been dispelled a lot. Now what they fear most was the terrible Hu army. The Hu army slaughtered more than 100,000 people in Ningping City not long ago. If they really made them attack Nanyang, they would not be completely finished!

Fortunately, King Xiangyang and Li Xiaowei were capable people, and they quietly pulled up such an army! With this army here, the Hu people should not dare to invade, right? They can live a stable life for a few years...

The effect of the military parade was immediate, the people's hearts quickly settled down, and the people had the courage to stay in their hometown to make a living, and no longer fled south.

But there are more gentry and powerful people fleeing south...

There is no way. The power of the Nanyang Palace is too strong, and they can't afford to offend them at all. If they continue to stay in Nanyang, they might be slaughtered by the King of Xiangyang as a fat pig. Besides, the Hu people will definitely not sit idly by the Nanyang Palace to continue to grow and grow. There will be a battle between the King of Xiangyang and the Hu people. Once the war breaks out, they are afraid that they will be the first to be unlucky!

Well, the powerful people these days are like bats. Birds say they are rats. Mouses say they are birds. If they are good at doing well, both Jin and Hu people can please each other. If they are not good at doing well, they beat you up together. Who can stand this? Let's run away quickly. Can't we afford to mess with them?

After the military parade, the Nanyang Palace ordered the reward of the three armies. The Wuhuan Tuqi and Jingzhou veterans each received two pieces of cloth and silk, the alien army and Yan Li's old subordinates each received one piece of cloth and silk, the imperial army, Jingzhou new soldiers, and Guanzhong new soldiers were each rewarded thousands of coins, and the hard-working prisoners engaged in repairing city walls and roads, and the heavy money was spilled. In this struggle, most of the spoils seized were squandered in an instant, but the effect was still quite good, and there was not much reward, but everyone had a share, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the Nanyang Palace issued a new notice, indicating that the land would be measured again and all the landless wasteland and fields would be distributed to landless farmers. No matter whether you came from Hebei or Guanzhong or Sichuan, as long as you go to the local county government to register and confirm that you really have no land, you can get a piece of land.

However, this land is not for nothing. If you take this land, they will become military citizenship, usually farmers, and war soldiers. In principle, six farmers are one unit. All males over 18 years old and under 36 years old among these six farmers are reserve members. When you want to use troops, pick out the most upright and brave and the most powerful martial arts from these six families. This soldier is the common child of you, the six families. You must jointly pay for him armor, weapons, and clothes. He has made contributions and rewards and promotions. All of you are honored and won the spoils of war. All of you are all part of you.

In addition, it can also enjoy a higher social status—much higher than those unlucky guys and small vendors who have not selected a soldier from six families.

A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is the system of military troops.

The system of military forces is not as perfect as netizens think. On the contrary, it has many disadvantages. It is a double-edged sword, hurting others and oneself. But now Li Rui has no better way. In this chaotic world, if you want to obtain a stable and excellent military source, you can only do this. As for the side effects it will bring, you can't take care of. Being exploited by others to backfire is a matter of more than a few years or ten years later. Even if the military forces rebel in a few years or ten years later, he may not necessarily die. However, if the power of the people is not fully mobilized, he may not survive this year, and he will die soon after he is happy or dies. Everyone will do this multiple-choice question.

Sima Fan was puzzled: "Why do we have to spend so much effort to implement the system of military troops? Don't we have more than 50,000 prisoners in our hands? Wouldn't we just arm these prisoners and become a large army?"

Li Rui smiled bitterly: "It's okay to arm them directly. The problem is how reliable is it? Do you dare to use these homeless refugees if they don't tie them up with land?"

Sima Fan said: "We can teach them loyalty and righteousness, and their interests and gradually educate them..."

Li Rui said: "But it, loyalty cannot be used as food. People are so hungry that they want to eat human flesh. You can't teach me!"

In Li Rui's view, the training of loyalty and loyalty through loyalty education cannot be said to be ineffective, but the effect will not be much better. Nothing in this world is free, especially loyalty. If the superior wants to get the loyalty of the people below, he must exchange it for something, such as land, wealth, power, honor, etc. Obviously, Sima Fan made a low-level mistake. He believed that loyalty to the people below was an obligation and a matter of course. It was not only him, but many people would make such mistakes, and the price they paid for this mistake was also very high.

This kid still lacks social beatings!

No matter what, the system of military service began to be implemented. Sima Fan spread all the talents in the Nanyang Palace with some ink in his stomach, went to various counties to serve as officials, responsible for counting local populations, measuring and registering household registration.

At the same time, a large number of prisoners were mobilized to strengthen the city defense and city defense fortifications of the five cities of Biyang, Duyang, Wuyang, Kunyang and Luyang. These cities were greatly damaged in the war and their defense capabilities were greatly reduced. We must seize the time to repair them, otherwise once they are attacked by the Hu army, they will not be able to withstand it.

Beigong Chun also seized the time to strictly train the more than 3,000 cavalry composed of Guanzhong Keyer. He was still the same. He mainly grasped military discipline, and wiped out the rebellious tempers of these guys, making them respect the military discipline. As for skills and tactics, that was Li Rui's business, and he was not good at this.

However, Li Rui is not good at shocking the morale of the military and strictly enforcing military discipline.

Now he is mainly responsible for helping Li Rui lay a solid foundation.

It was also at the suggestion of Beigong Chun that a large number of imperial guards were drawn out and enriched into the new army. This imperial guard had only about 11,000 people, but the sixth battalion was gathered together. To put it bluntly, the remnants that had almost been wiped out were gathered together to gather out this 11,000 people. The disadvantage of this kind of army is that there are many officers, but the troops under each officer were pitifully few and could not exert their strong combat power at all. But the advantage is that there are many officers, and a large number of them can be easily drawn out to enrich other troops.

Go, don’t worry about hurting the vitality of the troops. According to Beigong Chun’s plan, the 1,000 imperial guards will draw a large number of officers and veterans to enrich the new army, and then eliminate the old soldiers who are obviously older and no longer suitable for suitable submissiveness. Then select strong and fulfilling from the surrendered strokes, and strengthen a certain number of cavalry, and then form a legion with 11,500 people. The same is true for the Jingzhou soldiers, 6,000 new soldiers plus 3,000 veterans, and then add a certain number of imperial guards officers and veterans, and then pair with three cavalry regiments, perfect.

The new army composed of eight thousand young and strong Guanzhong also deals with the same way.

After the successful adaptation, Nanyang will have three legions of 11,500, plus three thousand Wuhuan cavalry and four thousand powerful men of extraordinary force. The small Nanyang will have 40,000 elite soldiers and generals. With these 40,000 troops in hand, I dare not say anything else, so I must be enough to protect myself.

However, a county in Nanyang must not be able to support such a huge army. When it is full of wings, it must be fought out to grab a larger territory and a larger population, otherwise this army will squeeze Nanyang out.

Beigong Chun’s advice to Li Rui was to go south. If you go north, you must have a head-on collision with the Hu people. It is too difficult. Maybe you can repeatedly tug at the territory of one or two counties, and you can’t beat the corpses and blood even if you can’t get down. On the contrary, there are just a bunch of weak chickens in the south, and chopping them will be a critical strike. Now Jingzhou is beaten by Wang Ru and Du Tao, and the Jin army in Jiangdong cannot make any moves to deal with them in a short time, which leaves Li Rui with a precious window of time. Sima Fan is the governor of Jingzhou personally granted by the court, and his fief is in Xiangyang. As Sima Fan’s general, Li Rui went to quell the rebellion of Jingzhou and snatched the entire Jingzhou by the way. It is reasonable!

You must move quickly, because there must be many people in Jiangdong who covet the fat piece of Jingzhou. When they free up their hands, they will definitely use troops to Jingzhou. The time window for Li Rui is not long!
