Hegemony of all Dynasties: Get the Zhao Yun template at the beginning

Chapter 112 Three Things (Fifth)
"That's right! But Sihong is only a temporary foundation. If the general can go north and defeat Sun Ru, Zhang Guiba, Yuan Shu and others, he can move to Huai'an again!"

"This is the battleground of Huaibei's military strategists. If you go north, you can map Qingxu, and if you go south, you can attack Yangzhou."

Bu Zhi briefly talked about the strategy that the East Lake Army can take in the future.

Wang Jing's thoughts were the same as what Bu Zhi said now.

"Mr. is very insightful, and I think so too. However, there are more than [-] people in Sihong, and there are nearly [-] former Qin soldiers. I have a small number of troops, and my morals are shallow. I am afraid it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Sihong!"

Wang Jing said.

Bu Zhi immediately smiled and said: "Why should the general be so humble? Yesterday the general traveled hundreds of miles to capture Sihong and behead Liang Cheng in one fell swoop! The prestige must spread everywhere, and the former Qin army has already been destroyed!"

"The remaining ex-Qin soldiers are not to be feared. What's more, apart from the ex-Qin soldiers in Sihong City, most of the people are ordinary people who have been coerced! They are not Liang Cheng's loyalists!"

Wang Jing's heart moved suddenly, he leaned forward slightly, and said, "Please give me some advice, sir. How can I gain a firm foothold in Sihong?"

His tone was sincere and his manner was sincere.

Bu Zhi smiled.

At this time, only he and Wang Jing were nearby.

All other civil servants were assigned to the city.Take people to count the number of people in the city and prepare to re-register the book.

Seeing that there were no idlers around, he said, "It's very simple to stabilize Sihong and lay a solid foundation! General, as long as you start recruiting troops, all problems will be solved!"

"Recruiting?"

Wang Jing was taken aback for a moment, he thought Bu Zhi was going to say something clever.

"That's right, the general sent someone to set up a recruiting flag, and only recruit young and strong people from ordinary people in the city, at least 5000! With a little training, they can replace the captured soldiers who maintain order in the city!"

"With recruits, the number of troops in the general's hands will increase. Not only can the captive soldiers be deterred, but also the recruits can be used as a bridge from top to bottom, so that the people in the city can think that the general is one of their own..."

There are 10,000+ people in the city, and many men and women have married and formed new families in half a year.

Wang Jing recruited young and strong people from these people, and he could contact more people through recruits. The number of recruits recruited in Sihong was larger than the original East Lake Army.

It will make the people in the city have an illusion that Wang Jinghe's soldiers and horses are the "own people" of Sihong City.

Of course, more than [-] people came to the vicinity of Sihong. They came from various dynasties and generations, and the cohesion among them was not high.

The so-called own people are just a slogan for Wang Jing to win the hearts of the people.

People are easily incited, and this kind of slogan can often produce effects beyond imagination.

Through Bu Zhi's explanation.

Wang Jing suddenly realized what kind of effect the simple method mentioned by the other party could play.

Before Bu Zhi broke this point, he only had the idea of ​​recruiting more than 1 former Qin soldiers. After all, these captured soldiers have undergone certain training, and they can go into battle as long as they are reorganized.

But when Bu Zhi said this, he suddenly realized something in his heart.

It is possible to recruit captured soldiers, but he needs to have a large enough base. Wang Jing brought all the troops that the East Lake Army could deploy, and there were only two to 3000 troops.

The integration of these two or three thousand soldiers and horses into 2 people is easily influenced by the former Qin soldiers.

But Wang Jing had [-] soldiers in his hands, so he could split up and reorganize the captured soldiers at will, because his basic base had become larger and he could bear the risk of annexing the former Qin soldiers.

"Recruiting troops from 10,000+ common people and expanding the basic base is indeed the way to consolidate the roots and cultivate the talents!"

Wang Jingshen thought so.

Bu Zhi continued: "If this matter is done well, it will not be difficult for the general to gain a foothold in Sihong. In addition, there are two other things that the general needs to pay attention to. One is the former Qin navy!"

"The former Qin navy had a total of 3000 people, and they were stationed at the entrance of Anhe and Hongze Lake at this time. They should have not received any news at this time. If the general wants to compete with other princes, he must take down the water fortress!"

"Secondly, General Li of the Taiping Army still has [-] elites, and this elite general must find a way to recruit them! I think General Li is a fierce general. If he is willing to assist the general, the general will be even more powerful!"

When Bu Zhi was talking.

Wang Jing listened carefully. The three things the other party said were urgently needed by the East Lake Army.As Bu Zhi said, as long as these three things are done well, his power can expand several times.

"The three things my husband said are all good words, I will teach you!"

Wang Jing said.

In troubled times, efficiency is very important. After listening to Bu Zhi's three suggestions, Wang Jing immediately took action.

After Fan Yin sent someone to send a letter to Shen Yi, Zhu Wu and others.

Wang Jing asked him to lead people to set up a recruiting flag in the city, but all qualified recruits can receive two shi of grain to settle down, and one shi of grain can feed a person for two months.

Two stones of grain are enough to feed several people for a long time.

In Sihong City, money like gold and silver is not valued by the common people, and now they can't get enough to eat, and it is useless to ask for gold, silver and jewelry.

Food is the real hard currency.

To recruit 5000 people, the food used to settle down will cost [-] shi. Fortunately, there is enough food in the granary.

Outside Sihong City, there are tens of thousands of acres of farmland reclaimed by the common people. After a few days for the farmland to be harvested, another [-] to [-] shi of grain can be harvested, and the [-] shi of grain lost now will soon be replaced.

The people in the city have a daily ration limit, and they have to do hard labor in farming for the former Qin army to get a bite of food.

They are often in a state of hunger and fullness.

After hearing that Wang Jing was recruiting recruits, and each recruit was given two stones of food to settle down, many young and strong people gathered to apply.In just one day, Wang Jing and Fan Yin selected two thousand relatively simple and honest recruits who met the requirements.

These recruits were arranged several miles outside the city, separated from the original barracks and former Qin soldiers.

The two thousand recruits were organized into two thousand households, of which the thousand households and the hundred households were temporarily vacant.

A hundred old soldiers were temporarily selected to serve as training officers, who were responsible for training soldiers.

These two thousand households are just the beginning.

There are still 3000 people waiting to be recruited.

When the recruiting incident in Sihong City became lively, Shen Yi first took a boat down the river, and then rushed to Sihong.

According to Wang Jing's order, he brought five hundred soldiers from the East Lake Army and a thousand households in the guard.

With these 500 people, Wang Jing's urgent need was immediately relieved.

What he is most anxious about is that there are soldiers but no generals, and the number of confidants is too small.

"I don't know what's going on with Mu Chun and Chen Da! If the two of them can come back at this time, at least I can have two generals in my hand!"

Wang Jing thought to himself.

He now has famous generals under his command. Apart from Mu Hong, who is in charge of the cavalry, and Li Jun, who is in charge of the water army, there are only three infantrymen, Mai Tiezhang.

But now Wang Jing only has Mai Tiezhang by his side.

Mai Tiezhang also had the important task of guarding the captured soldiers in the barracks, and other military chores fell on Wang Jing, the lord.

What recruits recruits, trains soldiers, and gathers the morale of the army.

Also pay attention to the big and small things in the city, the attitude of Li Kaifang of the Taiping Army at this time, etc. Wang Jing even suspended the daily practice homework that he needed to do every day, and devoted himself to various government affairs and military affairs.
