Chapter 847

"Come and drink with me!" Yue lie beckons to Miao Miao and motions her to sit beside her, but asks Fang Qi to sit opposite. Zhe BIE poured them wine and retreated to one side, but Yue lie sent him away.

Yue lie took up the wine and touched them: "our progress is too slow. We have to recruit soldiers. I want to lead a team to support my father and Emperor."

"Well, your highness, is it too urgent?" Fang Qi wanted to say that the steps were too big and pulled the eggs. He was afraid that Yue lie would bring them again.

"No, I mean, as soon as the people they mobilized arrive, I'll take them to Yan'an Prefecture. Qinglong has recovered several places. They should be ready for a big war before the end of the year. "

Miao Miao heard what she meant: "you don't want to say let's take someone to kill it?"

As long as she doesn't say to take them with her, it's not the first time Fang Qi and Miao Miao have led troops to fight. However, Yue lie is no longer crazy. She just says that she has to go back from Yanjing city. The barracks of state governments along the road have to be adjusted, and there must be no such stupid mistakes again.

Up to now, there are not many Uighurs. Generally, half of the Uighurs will not be allowed in the barracks. Even so, Yue lie is still worried. If it were not for the help of the Han people in the Central Plains, Yang lianzhenjia might have really succeeded. Therefore, from this point of view, Kublai Khan also benefited from the Han people in the Central Plains.

A few days later, Meng Yu came to Yizhou city with 4000 troops and seven siege guns. Chen Tang also sent 2000 infantry to meet. Fang Qi and Miao Miao followed Yue lie out of the city to meet them. They took the opportunity to inquire about a man surnamed Wang. It was also a coincidence that the general surnamed Wang who led the troops was the son surnamed Wang. Fang Qi gave him his family letter and asked him to hurry home for reunion.

Chen Tang's conscription is different from others. Their own elite Wuwei army only maintains 2000 troops, which will not increase or decrease. Later, all conscripts were allowed to be infantry, and the generals in charge of training were selected from the Wuwei army, and then the brave and good fighters were selected from the infantry to fill the Wuwei army. Military attache Wang was a member of the original Wuwei army, and now he has become a unified soldier.

Many of Meng zhaolie's soldiers have been sent out of the training camp this time, and many of them have been sent out of the training camp. They have asked Meng zhaolie to take care of many of them. She also took away the 1000 cavalry she had brought, a total of 7000 people and horses, and returned to Yanjing city through Qingzhou.

Now there are less than two thousand miscellaneous troops left in Yizhou. After a few days of recruitment, they have expanded to two thousand and five hundred, and Miao Miao has sent people to practice. Fang Qi adjusted the system of civil and military officials in the city. Because Wang Xiang Shen had a son under Yue lie, Fang Qi promoted him to be a state official, asked him to recommend a group of people and left 700 people to guard the city. I took these people to Jiaodong plain.

Affected by the war, most of the villages along the way are dilapidated, and there are few complete villages. The vast fields are almost deserted. Occasionally, there are a few farmers, but they hide away when they see the army.

Miao Miao said, "it's a pity that there is no race in such a fertile land. It's all Uighurs and Japanese pirates who make trouble here. Now, are we going to learn from emperor Kai of the Han Dynasty's tuntian system? "

Fang Qi nodded, "that's a good idea. When we go to the next state capital, we'll follow this method to let the old farmers also pick up knives and arrows to protect their homes." You don't have to think about defending your country. If you can't protect your family, why defend your country?

The folk customs in Shandong are fierce. They also see some local gentry groups and Ding Xiangyong resistance organizations. Whether these people will become rural tyrants or village tyrants, at least they play an obvious role in dealing with bandits and Japanese pirates. The more we move forward, the more such spontaneous organizations will be. The relatively sparsely populated Yizhou Jiaodong plain is still relatively prosperous.

Soon they caught up and ran for several days, and the horse was tired. He told him what he had seen and heard all the way and the difficulties Meng Zhao encountered. Fang Qi ordered people to take a day off in a small village called Tianshui yingzi and recruit troops to buy some food and grass. Fang Qi did not impose grain and grass, but asked people to post announcements everywhere to buy grain.

At the beginning, not many people believed that the officers and soldiers would spend money to buy grain. Some people sent small quantities of grain. All the soldiers purchased were purchased at a high price. Many big gentry sent people to sell grain. Recruitment is much more smooth. Unlike in Yizhou, where only a few hundred people were recruited, more than 300 people were recruited after only two days in this small village.

These recruited strong men have official salaries. Although they can't make a lot of money, it's still no problem to live and eat. Jiaodong is often harassed by Japanese pirates and Uighurs. Big farmers can't protect themselves, and some small villages are even more difficult. Except for some who protect themselves by relying on mountain geography, most farmers flee everywhere and live a hungry and full life by helping big farmers do short-time work. Now the officers and soldiers come to recruit, which naturally attracts many people to apply.

When they came to Fangzi mountain, the team had expanded to nearly 3000 people. Most of them had never fought a war. Fang Qi had to ask people to stop training new recruits. At the foot of Fangzi mountain is a big town. It seems that the scale is not small, but almost all the people in the town have run away. Fang Qi posted a notice to reassure the people and asked the local gentry to mobilize the villagers to build a wall along the mountain to protect themselves.

This has nothing to do with recruitment. As long as people come to town, they will have land to grow and food to eat. As the old saying goes: food is the most important thing. As long as there is food to eat, someone will come to work. This move worked really well. The squire sent people to ride horses and beat gongs and drums everywhere every day to publicize that Fangzi mountain recruited people to work and manage food. Before long, some people went down the mountain or came out of the chaotic mountain to run, and five or six hundred people came in a few days.

Fang Qi asked the squire to take out the stored grain to cook for the poor. Each family made numbers, assigned work tasks, and helped them go down to the fields to harvest the withered crops. During this period, Fang Qi also recruited 100 people, and then recruited many people all the way.

He came to Gaozhuang in a few days. Gaozhuang used to be the flood plain of the Yellow River. After the diversion of the Yellow River, the low-lying land was covered with reeds and weeds of the same height. A glue river flows from southwest to northeast. Fang Qi asked people to rest here for a few days. Most of his soldiers are farmers, who can reclaim a large open space and plant vegetables and food.

Having lived here for nearly half a month, it has attracted many refugees from all over the world to settle here. Fang Qi and Miao Miao wandered around and chatted with the people who fled. They basically knew where there were Japanese pirates and Uighurs. There was no need to send people everywhere to inquire.
