Chapter 177 Setting up a security force, the handsome man falls in love with the bed

In Liu Sheng's opinion, the composition of Xiao's bandits is relatively simple.

It has the Dahe Baoxiao clan as the absolute core, the local bandits from Dahe, Zhuzhuang, and Xinji in the western remnants of Tongbai Mountain as the backbone, and the young and strong people absorbed from the refugees in the past one or two years as the periphery.

There are more than 6000 young adults alone. If you include the families of these young adults, there are more than 1 people!
It is equivalent to the population of some small counties.

Xiao Yingxun was "protected" by Shengjie Guards and three battalions of rebel soldiers. After going into the mountains to persuade the remaining Xiao family bandit leaders to surrender.

On February 24, more than 6000 of Xiao's remaining bandits came to Biyang to meet Liu Sheng and express their submission.

Among the Xiao family's bandits, all young and strong men are minions.

Therefore, Xiao Yingxun actually brought all the young men of the Xiao family bandits from the mountainous area this time.

Outside Biyang City.

A large open space in front of the rebel camp.

These more than 6000 young men, organized by the leaders of the Xiao family, managed to form a few crooked square formations, which looked quite impressive.

This time when he entered the mountains, Xiao Yingxun was under the "protection" of the rebel army Shengjie Wei. He had a deeper understanding of the fighting power of the Yibu rebel army and no longer dared to have other thoughts.

At this time, unlike when he first met Liu Sheng, his hands and feet were no longer shackled.

Seeing that thousands of his men were barely forming a phalanx, he came to the wooden platform, bowed to Liu Sheng, clasped his fists and said, "All my troops are here, please read, Commander-in-Chief!"

Liu Sheng said calmly: "There is no need to click to read, just register and create a register."

Xiao Yingxun was slightly stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help but wonder: "Is it right here?"

Liu Sheng nodded affirmatively, "Right here."

Xiao Yingxun thought to himself: There are six thousand or hundreds of people. How long will it take to register them one by one here?

After a while, some of the pricks under his command became impatient and started to make trouble.

When the time comes, it will be a small matter for these thorn heads to be killed, and Liu Sheng may be tempted to blame him.

Xiao Yingxun was hesitating whether to risk a word of advice when he saw a scene that stunned him.

Only hundreds of rebel soldiers were seen. Under the leadership of dozens of sentry-level military and political officials, everyone took paper, pens and wooden boards, divided into ten teams and began to register the young men and women.

The pen they used seemed to be a hard pen, which clamped the paper on the wooden board and wrote quickly.

In this way, in less than half an hour, the registration of more than 6000 people was completed!

At this time, not only Xiao Yingxun was shocked.

The big and small bosses under his command and some young men with a little knowledge were also shocked.

Among the hundreds of rebels responsible for registration, only a few dozen were military and political officers, and the rest were mostly low-level officers or even ordinary soldiers.

They are all capable of doing paperwork!
After coming back to his senses, Xiao Yingxun couldn't help but admire: "I didn't expect that there would be so many civil servants in the Marshal's army!"

Liu Sheng smiled when he heard this and said, "They are not civil servants, just ordinary soldiers of the standing army."

"Ordinary soldiers?" Xiao Yingxun couldn't believe it.

“In our spare time after training and fighting, our rebel army will be taught literacy and arithmetic by military and political officers.

After the thousands of young men in front of us are reorganized and those who are able to join the standing army will do the same. "

After hearing this answer, Xiao Yingxun didn't know what to say for a moment, and his face was filled with shock.

What I was thinking was: I, Xiao Yingxun, am not unjust to lose to such a person and such a rebel army...
With the assistance of dozens of military and political officials and some backbones of the standing army, Liu Sheng completed the registration, screening, and reorganization of the Xiao bandits in just two days.

There are more than 3000 young adults among the Xiao bandits who were born as refugees, and most of them are single young adults without family members.

Liu Sheng selected those with better physical fitness from these people and organized them into four civilian brave camps.

The remaining few hundred young men were classified as common people in Biyang County, and were allowed to farm the public fields of the Wei tribe in Biyang. Previously, the Wei tribe had also publicly tried several evil gentry and bullies in Biyang, and confiscated the confiscated fields. Quite a few.

Most of the more than [-] people left by Xiao's bandits are local bandits or mountain people - there is actually not much difference between the two. Many mountain people usually farm, but when the opportunity comes, they will turn into bandits and take advantage of them.

Liu Sheng selected more than 1000 young men with families and good conditions among these people and organized them into two civilian brave camps.

At present, none of the civilian warriors in Weibu have food and salary, but the food rations and basic clothing are provided by Weibu.

This is not a long-term solution.

When he returned this time, Liu Sheng was ready to further improve the system of people's bravery in the Kuei tribe.

The initial idea was to draw on the experience of later generations of local army construction and combine it with the actual situation faced by the Kuei tribe to further divide the civilian brave troops into two levels of troops.

First, they are still called people's braves, but they are actually similar to the rural warriors at this time and the peasant soldiers of later generations. They were busy farming and only practiced when they had time in their spare time.

Combined with the grassroots administrative system selected by Liu Sheng for the Hua Department, each natural village should select and train at least one Shimin Yong, each community (similar to later administrative villages and brigades) should select and train at least one Sentou Mingyong, and each township should select and train at least one battalion. People are brave.

Min Yong did not receive any food or salary, but could receive a [-]% reduction in land tax.

That is to pay [-]% of the taxes of ordinary people.

Second, select outstanding people from among the brave people to join the garrison.

Each county has at least one battalion of garrison troops, which are mainly responsible for county defense and assisting patrol police in clearing out bandits.

The rations and pay were lower than those of the standing army, and were distributed by the Ministry of Military Affairs.They are under the command of both the military and local administrative officials, but they give priority to military orders.

Veterans of the standing army can also join the garrison after returning to their hometowns if they meet the conditions. They are usually at least junior officers at the rank of Shiwu.

This can not only solve the problem of training and officer selection of the garrison, but also improve the combat effectiveness of the garrison. It can also serve as an arrangement for retired officers of the standing army.

Get more in one fell swoop.

Out of consideration for the people's bravery and the garrison system, Liu Sheng selected 600 people from four people's bravery camps and formed the Biyang Garrison Battalion based on two factors: physical fitness and whether they had family members.

In this way, the garrison can suppress the Minyong, and among the Minyong there is one more person who is a refugee than a member of the Xiao family.Coupled with the battalion of civilian warriors trained by the standing army when they stayed in Biyang, it was enough to suppress the civilian warriors who were originally Xiao family bandits.

In addition, Liu Sheng also selected a dozen people from the surrendered Xiao bandit leaders, such as Xiao Yingteng, Xiao Yingxuan, etc., and took them to Runing Mansion.

It is planned that after they study, they will serve as officials in the administrative system in Runing or as grassroots officers in the standing army.

As for the Xiao family bandit leader who was captured along with Xiao Yingxun, that was a different treatment.

Those who committed the most heinous crimes were beheaded if they deserved it; the rest were sentenced to at least one year of hard labor.

This is to tell those local armed forces who may be hostile to the Yi tribe in the future: if you surrender early, you can still serve as an official; if you resist stubbornly, you will have to undergo labor reform after being captured, even if you are not killed in the battle.

Finally, Liu Sheng promoted Huang Gan, deputy commander of the second regiment, to command the ninth regiment of the standing army, leaving four standing army camps to guard Biyang.

A battalion with relatively good training performance was selected from the civilian warriors recruited in Xiangyang and added to the ninth regiment to make it full.

In this way, Biyang will have one regiment of standing troops, one battalion of garrison troops, and six battalions of civilians to assist in the defense, with a total of 6600 defenders!
After making these arrangements, Liu Sheng led his troops to leave Biyang.

Accompanying them were not only the Guards and the Fifth Regiment of the Standing Army, but also seven battalions of civilian warriors, more than 1 civilians, and more than [-] craftsmen and their families brought from Xiangyang.

The brave men of the people transported gold and silver, the husbands of the people transported food, and the guards and the standing army were responsible for supervision and protection.

From Biyang County to Queshan County, Liu Sheng had two ways to go.

One is through Magutian Town in later generations, then to Huanggang, Maoji, Wanggang, Landian, Xin'andian and other markets, bypassing Tianmu Mountain.

The advantage is that it is all official roads and relatively flat; the disadvantage is that it is too far, more than 200 miles away.

The grain transport convoy takes at least five days to travel.

The other way is to take Tongshan Lake, pass through the later Tongshan Township, Zhugou Town, and Wagang Town, and then cross the mountain road of Erlang Mountain, and you will soon reach the Sanli River (a tributary of the Zingtou River) outside Queshan County. ).

At that time, relying on river transportation (the water levels of various rivers in Runing rose a lot in spring), it was very convenient whether you wanted to leave money and grain in Queshan County or transport it to Ruyang City.

The whole journey is only one hundred thirty or forty miles, which is nearly half shorter than the other route.

The disadvantage is that there is a mountain road near Erlang Mountain, which requires people and mules to transport.

Considering that there was a waterway before and after, and the actual land route to be traveled was only seventy or eighty miles, Liu Sheng decided to take the Tongshan Lake road.

···
The fifth day of March.

Queshan County.

The Zhou family mansion.

Previously, when Red Lady was guarding Queshan, she lived in the military camp most of the time.

Later, she married Liu Sheng and converted the Zhou family mansion that had been confiscated into their residence in Queshan County.

The Zhou family was originally the largest family in Queshan County, and their mansion occupied an area of ​​dozens of acres, which was quite large.

Liu Sheng slept soundly in the morning, but he was woken up by the red lady who got up first.

The red lady who was about to get out of bed couldn't help but smile when she saw this, like a red lotus blooming, suddenly charming.

"Husband, you slept too lightly this time. I woke up so lightly, but I still woke you up."

Liu Sheng smiled and did not get up. He folded his hands behind his head and looked at the red lady and said, "Don't you sleep very lightly too?"

"I am accustomed to being vigilant when I was traveling in the world."

"I'm just like you." Liu Sheng continued without explaining in detail.

Because the Red Lady already knew that he was from a later generation - the two of them were sleeping in the same bed, and he showed so many items and knowledge that did not belong to this world, it was difficult to conceal his identity for a long time.

Rather than racking your brains to make up one lie after another to deceive the matchmaker, it would be better to tell the truth.

People also live a relaxed and comfortable life.

He also told Madam Red about some of his experiences in later generations, and Madam Red knew that he had served in special forces in later generations, similar to the combined arms of Jinyiwei and Ming Army.

After such an experience, it is normal to be alert while sleeping.

After Liu Sheng finished speaking, he touched his watch and looked at it, and found that it was just six o'clock.

Then he pulled the red lady back.

"It's only six o'clock, why do you need to get up so early, madam?"

The red lady's pretty face turned slightly red and she said, "I've delayed a lot of things these past few days, so I can't get up any later today."

Liu Sheng, however, held her hand and wouldn't let go.

"It won't delay anything if you get up late. Besides, doesn't Madam know that what we have to do between us is more important to you?"

The so-called small do not win the newlyweds.

They were separated for more than a month shortly after the marriage. The matchmaker's longing for Liu Sheng could not be relieved in a few days.

She had originally decided to "go to work", but at this moment she was moved by Liu Sheng's words, so she raised a finger and said: "Then just one hour, it can't be too long."

"Listen to Madam."

Liu Sheng smiled and the conspiracy succeeded.

One hour?

It depends on whether the red lady has that ability.

　Correct the typo later.
