"Spitting out bitterness and remembering old hatred, expressing determination not to forget new hatred!"

"Don't forget the hardships of class, remember the blood and tears!"

"If you complain about your sorrows, if you complain about your grievances, you must pay your blood debts with blood!"

"..."

As soon as the war ended, Li Yan launched a vigorous complaining movement!
At first, all the leaders of Shuibo Liangshan, including wise people like Wen Huanzhang and Liu Huiniang, didn't understand why Li Yan was so eager to do this?

But soon there was a scene that stunned them. A group of officers, soldiers, and civilian husbands were crying and shouting to join the Liangshan Army after participating in the complaint meeting!

Looking at their excited emotions, it doesn't seem to be fake at all!
In less than five days, 2000 people from the Fourth Battalion were inspired by the complaint meeting and joined the Liangshan Army!
And this is the result of careful screening by Li Yan and others, otherwise, Li Yan would be able to recruit at least four more battalions!
These four battalions were mixed with the original first battalion of cavalry, two battalions of infantry, and two battalions of reserves in Shuibo Liangshan. Li Yan used the original Liangshan horse army, the original first battalion of Liangshan infantry, and the original second battalion of Liangshan infantry as the skeleton. Three battalions of cavalry and five battalions of infantry were formed.

The third battalion of the horse army, Li Yan commanded Lin Chong, Bian Xiang, and Shan Shiqi respectively, and Xu Ning, Qiu Yue, and Yang Zhi were the deputy commanders—Lin Chong and Xu Ning led the first battalion of the horse army, and Bian Xiang and Qiu Yue led the second battalion of the horse army , Shan Shiqi and Yang Zhitong led the third battalion of the Ma Jun.

In the Fifth Battalion of Infantry, Li Yan took Guanghui, Deng Fei, Zhu Jing, Ou Peng, and Yang Lin as the commanders, and Cheng Ziming, Hu Chun, Peng Qi, Zhou Ang, Cao Zheng, and Li Yan as the deputy commanders——Guanghui And Cheng Ziming led the first infantry battalion, Deng Fei and Hu Chuntong led the second infantry battalion, Zhu Jing and Peng Qi led the third infantry battalion, Ou Peng, Zhou Ang, and Cao Zhengtong led the fourth infantry battalion, Yang Lin and Li Jitong led the infantry battalion Lead the fifth battalion of the infantry.

To be honest, Li Yan's arrangement is actually somewhat unreasonable.

For example, in terms of Ma Jun, Shan Shiqi's skills and commanding ability are designated as the bottom compared with the leaders of the Ma Jun. Therefore, in terms of talent alone, Shan Shiqi is not suitable for commanding the second battalion of the Ma Jun .

Not to mention the infantry, Ou Peng and Yang Lin are far inferior to their lieutenants.

Moreover, it would be a little risky to send Peng Qi, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, Cheng Ziming, and Hu Chun to the army now.

But Li Yan finally arranged this way.

Why?

First of all, who is the master and who is the assistant is not only a question of ability, but also a question of loyalty, and there is also a question of qualifications. Although the abilities of Shan Shiqi, Ou Peng, and Yang Lin are not good enough, their Loyalty is high, and seniority is also old. As far as these two points are concerned, Li Yan must give them enough opportunities, so as not to hurt the hearts of the old brothers. Of course, if they are not capable enough in the future, they will not be able to compete. For the others, Li Yan can't do anything about it.

Secondly, these surrenders must be properly arranged, because if they are arranged, it will be relatively easier to recruit surrenders later.

To be honest, Li Yan also wanted to use all the generals he had trained, because that way the loyalty would be higher.

But this is unrealistic. It is too slow to cultivate them all by themselves. In just a year or two, Zhao Ji will definitely send people to encircle Shuibo Liangshan again.

Therefore, Li Yan must develop rapidly.

However, in order to develop rapidly, it is inevitable to recruit and surrender.

Besides, these people are all Chinese, and they are of the same species as himself. Li Yan can't kill them all, can he?

……

As soon as the army was expanded on the front foot, Li Yan on the back foot gave an order: In the day after tomorrow, the whole army will go down the mountain except the navy, the first battalion of the infantry, the third battalion of the infantry, and the fifth battalion of the infantry, and attack Jeju City, and organize two thousand civilians to go down the mountain together .

In other words, except for the left-behind leaders Guanghui, Cheng Ziming, Zhu Jing, Peng Qi, Yang Lin, and Lian, the leaders of the Mabu Army only had one day to familiarize themselves with their troops.

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you will treat me as a sick cat!

If it weren't for the fear that the tens of thousands of captives would fight back, and that Li Yan didn't have enough soldiers and horses, Li Yan would have taken people down the mountain to attack Jeju.

Now, with the smooth progress of the complaining movement and the sending of a group of diehards to Jeju Island, the possibility of the captives' counterattack is almost zero, and Li Yan also has enough troops to attack Jeju.

On the other hand, if the Jeju government is not attacked, the Jeju government, which has been out of contact with Hu Yanzhuo for six or seven days, will be aware of it, and it will cost Li Yan a lot of trouble.

Therefore, there is no longer any delay, and troops must be dispatched to Jeju Prefecture immediately!
