Chapter 1046 Yu Ding
In mid-to-late February, most people left Guangchengze and returned to Luoyang.
Shao Xun was sometimes in Liang County, sometimes in Luyang and Ye County, and sometimes in Xiangcheng, talking with his elders.
This area is the most iron-clad place for his rule. The real land of Longxing is located at the elbow and armpit of Luoyang. It can be reached by a quick horse in one day and only a few days of marching.
"To put it harshly, if there is rebellion in Luoyang in the future, the city gates will be closed." Shao Xun pointed to the surrounding cottages and said, "My son can go to Hongnong and Hanoi to gather the government troops and the black army, and the second one can go to Pingyang. , Huangtou Army is gathered in Hedong, and the third is to go south here to recruit the first sons who followed me. By then, troops will be marched from four directions. If there are some loyal and brave people in Luoyang, the traitors will not be killed. "
While talking, the pro-army troops, which had expanded to 2,500 people, dispersed to guard everywhere.
Just like the old days when Yang Qin stood on the last guard duty, Huang Zheng is about to leave, and next month he will serve as the deputy commander of the Wansheng Army and the commander of the first battalion.
Yang Qin will serve as the governor of the Yinqianzhong camp and lead his troops back to Bianliang to rest and recuperate.
Zhang Shuo still stayed in Huainan and was promoted from the third rank to general of the army, but he did not open a government. He only served as the prefect of Huainan and supervised the military affairs of the four counties of Huainan, Lujiang, Ruyin and Qiao.
His basic troops also underwent major adjustments.
The Xianbei cavalry has returned north, and its leader Da Xiheruo is rushing to Guangchengze to meet the Holy Spirit.
When they attacked the Xiongnu before, there were three people, Zhao Gu, Yang Tao, and Liang Xun, and various tribes.
Among them, Zhao Gu still has 20,000 soldiers and about 14,000 families. They were previously sent to Yiyang County for farming, and they still stay in place today.
Yang Tao also had more than 6,000 families and more than 7,000 soldiers. They were in Runan before and were sent to Shouchun in the late first month of the first month. Zhang Shuo ordered him to drive to the area of Xiquyang to clean up the farmland left by the Huai people.
Liang Xun had changed his name to Liang Gong. He had 5,000 families and 5,000 soldiers under his command. He had previously sent them to Qiao and Pei to reclaim wasteland. In the middle of the first month, he also went south and settled in the Ping'a and Wokou areas of Huaibei. They were already doing spring plowing.
All Zhao Wei's troops from Heijin's right battalion went south and settled in Shouchun City, which was Zhang Shuo's backbone.
There are also sergeants from Zuyue Department in Xia Cai.
There are more than 20,000 people in total, mainly infantry with a small amount of cavalry, which is all the power Zhang Shuo can control.
In the twelfth lunar month of last year, the Diqiang chief of Fengyi County, Xu Quanqu, died in Huainan due to his son Yiyu, so he took advantage of the opportunity that the Hu and Han people in Guanzhong were about to celebrate the New Year, and raised his troops to cause chaos, which became very powerful for a while.
Jin Zheng led more than 15,000 infantry and cavalry people eastward. At the same time, he mobilized Guanzhongfu soldiers, Diaoyin and Shangjun Hu soldiers to suppress them severely.
Years ago, Quan Qu was killed by his subordinates and surrendered.
Shao Xun then intervened in the affairs of Feng Yi's ministries, made some adjustments, and established Luodong Longxiang Mansion near Chengcheng County in later generations.
He also adjusted the land where Zhao Gu, Liang Gong, Yang Tao and others had moved away, and divided them into Acheng and Lantian Erlongxiang mansions.
The required 3,600 soldiers were recruited from Yanzhou and Yuzhou Shibing, and 2,400 strong soldiers were recruited from Luonan. Hundreds of soldiers who were skilled in bows and horses, as well as subordinates, were recruited from Luonan. In addition, they performed well in the battle against Liang last year. Hundreds of strong and strong people were organized together, and the tribes were assigned to Bianliang servant households for rationing.
There are still a few old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers in Yanyu Shibing, and they have all been converted into civilian households to help them escape from the sea of suffering.
In this way, the war between Yan and Yu has become history.
Within the Liang Dynasty, there were not many states that still had large-scale military establishments.
The new military force replaced the traditional old army and was for the new dynasty.
Shao Xun was also troubled by the chaotic armies and tribes in the world. This chaos lasted throughout the Northern and Southern Dynasties until King Fu Tian sent them away in Feishui - the trick is that when he sent away the miscellaneous soldiers, he also sent away his direct lineage. Sent.
Shao Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with Fu Jian's thinking.
Won't the miscellaneous soldiers keep it for the New Year?
What he really trusts is the imperial army and the imperial soldiers he created, including their children——
When they entered the village, the children of the soldiers who had already received the news came forward one after another and looked curiously at Taibai Xingjing, whom their fathers said was wise and powerful.
"Long live my emperor." At the signal of the soldiers, everyone bowed down one after another.
And the "clever" one added: "Meet the Queen."
At the same time, she secretly sighed that the queen was so young.
Wang Yinling, who was holding Yuan Zhen in his arms, was stunned for a moment at first, and then he didn't avoid it and just stood there.
Shao Xun coughed lightly, stood in front of her, and said, "Everyone, get up."
The soldiers also knew that Lou Zi had been stabbed, and they were furious and cursed in a low voice: "This is not the queen, why are you shouting?"
Wang Yingling muttered softly: "Yuanzhen, your father is so ruthless."
Five-year-old Yuan Zhen looked at his father, then at his mother, buried his face in his mother's arms, and said, "I listen to my mother-in-law."
Wang Yingling kissed her son and said in his ear: "My dear, it was not in vain that I was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to you. From now on, I can only rely on you - you guys. You must be brothers and protect each other and help each other."< br>
"Auntie, are you talking about Shi Yiqian?" Yuan Zhen asked curiously.
He didn't like that "brother" and had secretly beaten him before. He would definitely beat him back when he grew up.
Wang Yingling freed up a hand, gently stroked his lower abdomen and said, "Your brother is here."
Yuan Zhen looked at his mother's flat belly in confusion. Where is my brother?
Wang Yingling chuckled and felt much better.
Men can be replaced, but sons cannot be replaced.
If a man is ruthless, then he should train his son well.
"They are all good men, but they don't know that they are willing to go to the frontier fortress and make contributions." Shao Xun's voice sounded not far away. As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere became slightly cold.
Shao Xun didn't take it seriously, laughed loudly, and said: "How does it feel to stay at home, cultivate a few acres of thin fields, and barely make a living? You should take wealth and honor immediately, and you don't even have this ambition. You are so despised. .”
There is no doubt that this is a provocative method, especially for teenagers, because they tend to get hot-headed.
And the effect was indeed good. When the emperor provoked his generals, someone fell into the trap in an instant. Regardless of his parents' sad eyes, he loudly said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to take this honor."
"I am also willing to take this title." If there is one, there will be two, and soon more people will come forward.
Shao Xun struck while the iron was hot and said to Huang Zheng: "Find someone to record it and then pay the settlement allowance."
Huang Zheng understood that this was not giving them a chance to regret.
Shao Xun looked at Chang Long who was following not far away and said, "I remember that your family lives in Shiqiaofang, right?"
"Exactly." Chang Long said: "The old house is left to my brothers and sisters. I live with my mother-in-law in Luoyang."
Chang Long is the eldest son of Zuojin Wuwei general Chang Can. He is eighteen years old this year.
Five years ago in Jinyang, Chang Can, a rough man, had an idea. He followed Shao Xun's advice and sent his son to him as a soldier.

Shao Xun also takes care of these noble children.
The pro-army doesn't need strong fighting ability, but loyalty and carefulness, so they cultivate him carefully and promote him as the leader of the team.
"Shiqiao Fang is the earliest batch of soldiers. How many children do each family have?" Shao Xun asked.
"I don't often go back to my old house. I only heard that every household has two or three adult children who cannot be soldiers." Chang Long said: "The later batches are okay, not that many. But in a few years, there will be more. ”
"What do these people do for a living?" Shao Xun asked.
According to the data he found from Zuo Xiaoqiwei, the total number of Luonan, Xiangcheng Fubing and Buqu families probably exceeds 35,000 children over the age of sixteen. They can neither inherit the position of Fubing nor contribute to the Fu. Soldiers are a part of the story.
A while ago, Jin Zhun originally planned to recruit only 1,000 people, but in his last breath, he recruited about 2,000 people.
Hou Feihu also sent people to Luonan and Xiangcheng to recruit troops. Because the military conditions were not bad, he directly killed three thousand young men.
After getting rid of this group of people, most of the remaining people are less willing to go out and explore.
In fact, these are the children of the government soldiers. They have a strong martial spirit. If they were the children of ordinary people, they would never be able to recruit so many.
"Your Majesty, almost everyone in the Zuo Xiaoqi Guards is a decorated officer. Many veterans spent their life savings to buy fields, first looking for them locally in Luonan and Xiangcheng, but the fields were too expensive to buy much. Later, more and more people were bought. Go to nearby Runan to buy land. There is a lot of wasteland there and it is cheap. It is not far from Xiangcheng and Luonan. After buying the land, you will register as a resident there," Chang Long said. Those who did not have much money, or whose parents were reluctant to let their sons leave their hometown, would allocate the land to them for farming. However, the court was strict and could not drive them away, so they could only divide the land and send soldiers to each family. There are often four, five, or six households, two or three of which are brothers of Xinfu soldiers or even sisters-in-law or brothers-in-law.”
"With two hundred acres of land to support more people, there will be less money and food for the soldiers." Shao Xun said: "Some people would rather go hungry than go to the frontier, or even leave their hometown."
"It's true, it's quite a lot." Chang Long said: "But I can still make ends meet. If I really can't survive, I will definitely become a refugee."
"Five years ago, there were not so many things." Shao Xun said: "The changes are so fast."
Of course this is normal.
Five years ago, I was only eleven or twelve years old, and I still lived with my father and brother. In five years, I will be old enough to start a family and start a business.
In the peaceful world, the population growth was really fast, but it had been swept by the epidemic, otherwise it would have been even more frightening.
Two recruitments of troops were carried out, and 5,000 men were taken away, including some family members (mostly women under twenty years old and young children). The total number of people exceeded 8,000, which also greatly alleviated the problem of too many people and too little land. question.
The government is lazy and cannot solve these problems for you all the time. It would be good if it could be played once every five or ten years. Generally speaking, as long as there is no trouble in the local area and the people can barely make ends meet, they will not care.
Shao Xun recalled that when his eldest son Jin Dao was serving as Zuo Jinwu's guard chief, he went to Chen Liuqing's father-in-law's land several times and mentioned this matter. It's just that the Zuojinwu Guard is not serious. The population of Luonan and Xiangcheng has expanded too fast.
If Shao Xun doesn't take care of it, then the Fubing system can still be used for decades. If he takes care of it, he can continue to extend his life on this basis.
While thinking about it, Huang Zheng had already gathered together those who were willing to apply, about three hundred of them.
About half of them are already married, some are just a couple, and some have babies.
Shao Xun calculated that among the 30,000 "remaining dings" (sons of Fu soldiers and Bu Qu) of Zuo Xiao's Cavalry Guards, thousands of them had been taken care of by the old Fu soldiers themselves, either going to other places or becoming Bu Qu; With five thousand taken away, today Shiqiao Defense has recruited 300 people. Other defenses continue to recruit, and there is still a lot of material. It is not a problem to collect two or three thousand people. Finally, the whole family pays travel expenses and goes to Hongcheng Town to serve as town soldiers.
The remaining ones are probably "die-hards", and it is difficult to shake their minds unless they are forced to relocate regardless of human ethics. Or they may wait until they feel that their lives cannot survive and are willing to settle elsewhere.
This is a big trouble but also a huge asset, because they have certain basic martial arts and battle formation knowledge.
"Recruit another group of people who are willing to go to Pingcheng." Shao Xun added: "Make it clear to them that those who are married can bring their wives and children. Those who go to Pingcheng are the contemporary national bodyguards. There are many vacancies in this army that have not yet been filled. Qi. Although it is bitterly cold in Pingcheng, the life of guarding the army is better than struggling to survive in my hometown."
Wang Yinling listened on the sidelines, noticed the way Shao Xun looked at her, and kissed her son's tender face.
Yuan Zhen chuckled.
Shao Xun also laughed that his wife and children relied on him, which felt quite good.
After autumn, ten thousand people were recruited here to go south.
These are all good soldiers, at least stronger than Ding. If the supplies are transferred, even if the Wu people come to intercept the supply route, they will not necessarily disperse in a hurry.
If Xiangyang could be captured, Shao Xun wanted to see if these people were willing to stay there.
You’re here, what are you going to do when you go back?
At most, it would be great to send someone back with news, so that the family can find a bride as soon as possible, and the couple can settle down in Xiangyang together.
