Since the entire army was reviewed on the 23rd, the Xia army has started a series of mobilizations.

First, Gongchen's army was transferred to Youzhou and reorganized the two armies of Chishui and Guanhe.

The reason for the mobilization of Gongchen Army was that the Jin army had retreated.

Li Keyong actually came to Yizhou, but he only had thousands of soldiers and horses. He invited Wang Gao to attack together, but was rejected on the grounds that the year was approaching.

Li Keyong was very angry, but he had no choice but to retreat unhappily. Before retreating, the Jin army was cheering and everyone was about to celebrate the New Year.

As the ninth infantry of the Imperial Army, the commander of the He Army was Fan He, the deputy envoy Cao Yijin, the governor of the capital, Li Gongqi, the governor of the capital, Liu Zhijun, the commander of the left wing, Hua Wenqi, and Kang Huaiying, the commander of the right wing,

The deputy envoy of the military and horses, commanders, and commanders have their own appointments.

The first thing that happened after the reorganization of the Crane Control Army was to drive the prisoners to build an palace for the saints.

The palace is temporarily named Linshuo and is built directly outside the southern city wall of Youzhou.

All the woods are taken from the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain.

This mountain range lies across the northern end of the Hebei Plain, isolating the inside and outside. The inclination of the northern foot of the mountain range is relatively small, stretching into grasslands, sparse forests, and swamps. As the saying goes, "yellow grass and white reeds, you don't know the extreme"; the inclination of the southern foot of the mountain range is relatively large,

It quickly fell into a hilly plain, "all kinds of grains and fruits, beautiful wood and good materials, and everything."

Since the landform is different, careers and karma will change. Mountains are two worlds in the north and south. As for wood, there are more people in the southern foothills.

In order not to disturb the people, this time, the people were not recruited, but instead drove the prisoners to work.

The number of prisoners was already quite large. Cangjing Town captured more than 20,000 people. After some of them were released, they were urgently stopped. The remaining less than 20,000 people all went north to Youzhou.

In Youzhou Town, roughly counting, the number of soldiers captured by each state has exceeded 30,000.

The labor force for building Linshuo Palace was basically the 50,000 people. Most of them were Tutuan Villagers. They were originally going to let go, but they were unlucky, but now they can't leave.

"This is a good place, with the taste of Dongduyuan." Fan He walked on the dead branches and leaves, looked at the large area of ​​scattered ponds around him and said with a smile.

He had been in Dongcheng before, and had never carefully observed the situation in Nancheng. Now it seems that the Longxiang Army must have suffered a serious crime here. This swamp alone is the natural moat of Youzhou Nancheng, and it is very troublesome to cross.

From the various boat bridges that are still left on it to this day, it can be seen that they spent a lot of effort here at the beginning, and it was not easy.

The saint had requirements for the palace. He preferred the watery places, which could be seen from the fact that he usually managed the government in Shangyang Palace.

Linshuo Palace was chosen around this pond. The swamp could be remodeled to form a larger lake. The reeds and groves next to it had been cut down, just to rammed the foundation and built the palace.

Linshuo Palace is a palace, so it is naturally not too big. According to the saint's wishes, you only need two halls and rooms in front and back - the front hall is called Jintai, and the back hall is called Jiaotai - plus a few pavilions and towers, with 50,000

If you work normally, you will be able to complete it in a few months.

Chen Cheng gently stroked his beard, looked carefully for a long time, and said, "There are no people near the city walls, it's very good. Let's reserve them all, don't separate them."

Fan He was a little surprised when he heard this.

In fact, there are not many people living near the city wall. But the war was over, the houses were demolished, and people didn't know where to go. Chen Shilang's meaning sounded like he wanted to build a palace, but——

Is a Linshuo Palace?

Chen Cheng didn't explain too much.

The saint said that the Yan people were disobedient, so they would take some serious control here. Just say this to others. Chen Cheng did not believe it, and the saint had other intentions.

He asked Fan He to reserve a place for his own consideration.

If you have old arms and legs, you can't sleep in the open, right? That's too miserable.

Once the palace is built, the saints will govern the government in Jintai Hall, and the concubines in the harem live in Jiaotai Hall. Where can all civil and military officials live? Maybe they can live in Youzhou City, but what about office work? Next to Jiaotai Hall, there are still several more halls.

Is the room used as an office space?

But the saint has not mentioned this matter yet. Hehe, Old Chen has seen through it, and he is waiting for his ministers to take the initiative to mention it. He has never seen such a dark and cunning warrior!

After a walk around, Fan He invited Chen Cheng to the camp for dinner.

The Crane Control Army had just disbanded most of the soldiers and asked them to return to their respective divisions to make their own business. After being merged into Gongchen and Chishui Army, there are currently about 20,000 people. Thousands of new soldiers will arrive next, and the final number will be controlled.

At about 25,000, this is also the court's goal of "slimming down" the imperial army.

As for the horse team, there will be no changes in the post for the time being and may be reduced in the future, but not now.

The people of the Hanhu who were truly staying in the He Guanhe Army were actually only the most powerful and bravest people in the states.

After Fan and Chen sat down, Deputy Envoy Cao Yijin asked someone to bring in a sheep, slaughtered, cleaned up, and then roasted it on the spot.

The food in the military was so rough that Chen Cheng had been used to it, and his attention was on the warriors walking around in the camp.

The most prominent point is that there are indeed too many soldiers from the Fan and Hu. First of all, there are many Sogdians, Uighurs, Tuyuhun, and Tubo warriors. The newly recruited five thousand elites are mostly Khitan, Goguryeo, Xi, Sogdian, and Turkic.

——It’s almost impossible to tell.

Youzhou Town itself is actually a hodgepodge.

A large number of surrendered Xiongnu were placed in the Han Dynasty, and the Xianbei entered life in the Jin Dynasty. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, a large number of Hu people were placed in. In the Sui Dynasty, many of the Mahe people moved in. These Hu people had one thing in common, that is, prisoners of war or came to surrender voluntarily.

tribe.

During the Tang Dynasty, Sogdians, Turks, Khitans, Xi people, Mohe, and Goguryeo people flooded in large numbers. This can be seen from the large number of banished states in Youzhou in the early Tang Dynasty.

Emperor Taizong attacked the Liaodong city of Goguryeo. Because he "resisted the king's army", 14,000 people were demoted to slaves. Later, he sent them to Youzhou and gave them a reward to the soldiers. Later, he pityed these people's parents and wives to disperse them, so he paid money and silk.

Redemption and pardon him as the people - even if Emperor Taizong of Tang promised the rewards from the martial artists, he should not regret his promises at will.

These people have grown up in the ten prefectures of Lulong and have become very large in number. Some of them have become sinicized and become members of more than one million households in Youzhou, while others have not, and still exist in tribal form.

The situation of Hu and Han mixed together makes Youzhou's culture also an alien in Hebei, which is very different from Chengde and Wei Bo.

"The Guanhe Army still needs to arrest it." Chen Cheng suddenly said: "The saint wants to clean up the Youzhou household registration, which may cause many people to be dissatisfied, and the Guanhe Army cannot change."

When Fan He heard this, he felt that this was really nothing, and nodded with a serious expression.

If you look at the household registration of Youzhou Town, it is mostly concentrated in the southernmost Ying and Mozhou. However, the rule of the Lulong Army in all dynasties was in Youzhou, and the recruitment of soldiers was mostly in Youzhou.

, don't you find it ridiculous?

After repeated foreign wars, countless soldiers died, and some were even annihilated in an organization. However, once the Jiedushi returned to Youzhou, he actually occupied only 30% of the household registration in Youzhou.

, You can recruit tens of thousands of troops at will, not once or twice, what is the problem?

Fan He followed Shao Siwu all the way west, and there were too many tribes along the way.

Many tribes actually know how to farm, but they are still the primitive power system of heads, only offering sacrifices to the governors, and the rest are all autonomous. When they encounter conscription, some young men will be sent to Youzhou.

In other words, these tribe leaders are in a state of compromise with the Youzhou Jiedushi. The tribe belongs to my family. I will provide you with goods and soldiers. Don’t interfere in other matters, both parties have reached a conclusion.

Tacit understanding and peace and stability for many years.

After the Jin people entered Youzhou, everything was the same, and they did not touch these tribal leaders and indigenous tyrants with very complex local relations in Youzhou. Unless they were desperate, they dared not to offer sacrifices, do not serve in the military, or directly rebel.

Now Shao Shude is going to attack them, and this will be the best time: with the momentum of victory, with hundreds of thousands of troops, forcing these people to hand over power.

Otherwise, when the imperial guards retreat one after another, things will become complicated.

"I heard that there are dozens of surnames of the Fan Hu in Youzhou, especially Gao, An and Shi, the three surnames of Gao, An and Shi, the most popular household registration." Fan He said: "Yesterday, Your Majesty reviewed the army, and these leaders also came. If they were intimidated by the army, they were also intimidated by the army.

The power of the army…”

"We can't rely on them to take the initiative to surrender." Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "We still have to be prepared for both hands. The Crane Control Army must seize the enemy. The foreign soldiers will be dispersed, and don't let them connect. After the formation is over,

They were no longer interested in making trouble.”

The Great Bian Hu clan of Youzhou, the Gao family is actually a descendant of the Goguryeo people, and may still be a royal family, and has a great appeal. But they are actually the tribes with the deepest degree of sinicization, and they have not even been tribal forms, but local tyrants.

Shi is a descendant of the Turks, whose original surname was Ashina. The Shannan Dongdao Ya General Shi Yongcheng, who made great contributions in pacifying Huaixi in the Xianzong Dynasty, was the Ashina family. Li Guangyan, who had outstanding achievements, was a member of the Turkic Adu clan, his mother and his wife

They are all Asuna.

The An surname is a typical Sogdian, that is, the nine surnames of Zhaowu, and once flourished in Youzhou.

"What will Your Majesty do after cleaning up your household registration?" Fan He asked.

"Your Majesty expects these people may not necessarily submit, and they will probably still be rude." Chen Cheng said: "Once you take action, you will have no choice. Many people may be demoted to slaves and given to the soldiers of the palace."

"It's too profitable to be a soldier now!" Fan He said in surprise.

Yi Ding gave 150 acres of land. In the past few years, you thought you were recruiting soldiers and continued to pay. After the transition period was completed, the fields were almost reclaimed and entered a stable harvest period. The main factors that originally hindered the income of domestic soldiers' land.

Even if there is a lack of troops, it will be solved slowly for you now, which will inevitably attract some people to be the soldiers of the palace, because the conditions are indeed very good.

"Previously, many people from the Longwu Army were unwilling to be converted into government soldiers. One of the major reasons was that Liaodong was vast and sparsely populated, and no one could get them to farm." Chen Cheng said: "Now we will solve them step by step.

It dispels many people's concerns."

"Your Majesty is really a series of things, one by one, one by one, and the thoughts are far-reaching, and I am not as good as that." Fan He sighed.

Chen Cheng sneered secretly.

What is the martial artist? If you can "get" to your Majesty, do you also want to sit on the throne of the emperor?

"You know this and it's done. The bowstrings and arrows control the point, keep a close eye on it." Chen Cheng instructed.
