Chapter 887 Chapter 887, Recruitment

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the second military town of Ganzhouwei began to be built.

The construction of the important military town was hidden by Xiao Yeyang from the guard station. Many of the guard officers had other forces behind them. He didn't want to make everyone aware of it before regaining Danhe.

He knew that many people in Ganzhouwei refused to accept him. There was no way. Although he had the appointment letter of the Five Armed Forces Protectorate in his hand, the official position was too low.

Regaining Danhe will be his first step to gain a firm foothold in Xiliang.

"Why are you frowning again?"

Daohua entered the study with a bowl of milk tea, and saw Xiao Yeyang standing in front of the sand table with frowning brows.

Xiao Yeyang took the milk tea in Daohua's hand and drank it in a few mouthfuls: "This milk has tea leaves without the fishy smell. It's much better."

Daohua smiled and said: "You like to drink it. After coming to Xiliang, you will be busy every day. For a long time, no matter how strong your body is, you will not be able to eat it. You will have to drink a bowl of milk every day in the future. This is good for your health. ."

Xiao Yeyang smiled, "I listen to you."

Daohua smiled and continued, "Do you remember those two black and white cows? Let me tell you, our luck is really good. The cow gave birth to a calf within a few days of the sale, and then began to produce milk. , The milk tea you just drank was produced by the cow."

"This cow produces an amazing amount of milk. It produces 60 or 70 catties of milk every day, and of course it eats a lot."

Xiao Yeyang was a little surprised: "So many?"

Ina Flower nodded, and raised her eyebrows proudly: "I have a good vision, right?"

Xiao Ye looked at Daohua liedely: "Yes, you have the best vision, otherwise, why would you look at me?"

Daohua was amused, and Xiao Yeyang was in a better mood.

After talking and laughing for a while, Daohua looked at the sand table: "What were you worrying about just now?"

Xiao Yeyang's gaze fell back to the sand table, and sighed, "I'm worried about the horse, and I'm also worried about the soldiers." As he said, he took Daohua and walked towards the table and chair next to him, and sat down with her in his arms.

"Ganzhouwei raises a thousand horses here, and there are five hundred horses over the barracks, plus the 500 horses bought from the Xiliao people last time, the entire Ganzhouwei has 2,000 horses. "

"I want to build a cavalry of 5,000 people, plan out the army and guards to keep spares, and if I have a full plan, I can only raise a team of 1,000 people. This is 4,000 fewer horses than I expected. "

"There is not enough border troops."

"After Ganxuan Town is built, a group of troops will be left to garrison the town. After the second military town is built, a group of troops will be left to garrison. At that time, there will be fewer troops that can be mobilized."

Daohua groaned: "This is short of horses, if you think of a way, you can still raise all of them, but this is short of soldiers."

The common people are actually very resistant to being a soldier. Few people will take the initiative to join the barracks. Generally, when there is a shortage of soldiers in a war, they will be forced to recruit, but this method is not easy for Xiao Yeyang.

As soon as they came to Ganzhouwei, their control over here is actually far from enough. Suddenly conscripting troops, if one of them fails, it may cause trouble.

Secondly, there is no legitimate reason for conscription.

Three times, openly conscripting troops, it must be reported to the commander's side.

Since the past four years, due to year-round military chaos and year-round lack of food, the population of Ganzhouwei is not large. With the recruitment of soldiers, some families are likely to have no labor in the middle of life.

Xiao Yeyang tapped his fingers on the table: "The frontier army on Ganzhouwei's side, according to the regulations, 50,000 talents are counted as full, but now there are only 40,000."

"I'm going to send a letter to the commander of Xiliang, asking him to complete the frontier army. You will back up the gift later, and I will send it together."

Daohua nodded: "Okay." After speaking, he paused, "After returning from Bamu Town last time, I wrote a letter to Jingcheng and asked Qin Xiaoliu to send someone to bring tea. It counts the time. It should be It will be there at the end of this month."

"The last time the horse boss looked at him as a shrewd man, you let him let out the wind and exchange tea for horses. I think there will be people from Xiliao willing to do so."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and looked at Daohua: "You think more than I do, but this is not in a hurry. It's now in mid-May. The crops in your terraced fields are growing very well. I think it won't take long. Someone will come and find me."

The other guards were far away and didn't pay much attention to Ganzhouwei, but the neighboring Jin Weiwei and Lan Wuwei kept staring here.

The Jin Lingwei he brought over was sent to various guards to inquire about the news. The commanders of Jin Weiwei and Lan Wuwei focused on the high-yield grains, and he soon learned about it.

High-yield grain seeds are definitely not enough. The two commanders will not wait until the autumn harvest grain output spreads before coming over to ask for grain seeds.

Xiao Yeyang just stared at the sand table and figured out a plan to exchange high-yield grains for the horses of Jinweiwei and Lanwuwei and the garrison.

Of course, the premise is that the army of the Five Armies Duhufu has been ordered.

The plan to build a military town on the border between Xiliang and Xiliao, Xiao Yeyang reported to the emperor before he came to Xiliang, and the emperor agreed with it after hearing this.

Daohua saw that Xiao Yeyang had an idea, so she didn't say more, she wouldn't intervene in official affairs, but just prepared as many supplies as she could to prepare for emergencies.

Although there were not enough horses, Xiao Yeyang did not wait, and first trained the cavalry team of 1,000.

Su Hongxin was also in it, because he and Xiao Yeyang had trained in the Ningmenguan military camp when they were young, and they were good at riding and shooting. After Xiao Yeyang's inspection, he made him a very long time.

Soldiers are promoted based on military merit. Which step Su Hongxin can take in the future depends on his own ability.

All command and envoys.

After receiving the letter from Xiao Yeyang, Wei Hongcai was silent for a while, and then summoned a few henchmen: "The Ganzhou Guardian Army is less than 10,000 people. Xiao Yeyang wrote a letter and asked us to fill him up. ."

all commanded the affair immediately and coldly snorted: "He asked us to make up, really this is the capital, everyone has to listen to him?"

"that is."

Two other people quickly agreed.

Wei Hongcai looked at his master: "Master Xu, what do you think?"

Master Xu thought for a while and said, "My lord, Xiao Yeyang is a child of the royal family. He can contact the emperor directly. We can't ignore him or defy him like others."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room was silent.

Yes, if others come to ask for soldiers, they will ignore it. Anyway, the whole Xiliang is in charge of Master Wei, and there is no way to sue.

But Xiao Yeyang couldn't do it, he could take the matter to the emperor.

If the emperor wants to know, then the matter will be big.

Wei Hong frowned: "Master meant to fill up Xiao Yeyang?"

Master Xu hasn’t spoken yet, and all the people who have spoken before have directed her to speak again: "Where can we gather 10,000 soldiers?"

"Thanks to Xiao Yeyang's blessing, the Xiliao people used to mainly invade Ganzhouwei and Jinweiwei in the western frontier defense area. Since he killed a cavalry squad of Xiliao people, the Xiliao people are now invading the east. The defense zone is here."

"Several health centers bordering Xiliao will be involved. Now all the health centers are short of people."

Wei Hong was silent for a moment: "Since Xiao Yeyang has written a letter, we can't help but respond." With that, he looked at Master Xu, "Master Xu, what can you do about it?"

Master Xu did not speak immediately. He struggled a bit at the thought of meeting his friend Wang Qi the other day before raising his eyes to look at Wei Hongcai.

"My lord, it is definitely impossible to let other places draw troops to Ganzhou Guards. But if the adults do not make up for the number of frontier troops for Ganzhou Guards, Xiao Yeyang really wants to report to the emperor, and the adults are likely to be reprimanded. In my humble opinion, it is better to let Xiao Yeyang recruit troops on his own."

After hearing that Xiao Yeyang recruited soldiers, Wei Hongcai's reluctance appeared on his face, but his confidants really thought this idea was a good idea.

All commanded Yu Shi smiled and said, "My lord, isn't Xiao Yeyang very rich? Let him recruit as many soldiers as he wants. In this way, we don't need to recruit soldiers from other guards, and we can stop him. His mouth, lest he give a small report to the emperor and kill two birds with one stone."

Wei Hong was silent for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

It is impossible for him to allocate money to Ganzhou Guards. He knows how poor Ganzhou Guards is. If Xiao Yeyang wants to recruit soldiers, he has to pay for it himself. Even if he has a wealth of money, how long can he last?

Master Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, Wang Qi, Wang Qi, for your suggestion, I violated my ethics and gave Master Wei such a bad idea.

I hope that the princely son of the Royal Mansion from Beijing can really change Xiliang as you said.

Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Yeyang received the reply from the commander, and after taking it and reading it, there was a surprise in his eyes.

Self-recruitment

Before the coal mine is found, perhaps this is not feasible yet, but the income from the coal mine is enough to support tens of thousands of soldiers.
