Chapter 53
"Of course, I, Qin Yuan, am not a heartless person. You all regard me as the master, obey orders, and obey commands. If you have meritorious service, you will be rewarded and if you are guilty, you will be punished. I hope you will remember."

Qin Yuan sat on the main seat and said lightly.

Behind him, the Great Qin Tiger Guards suppressed the audience, and the majestic Dragon Scale Army stood all around.

At the banquet, blood was seen again, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

This time, not only one or two people died, but dozens of people fell in a pool of blood.

In the city, Bai Qi was leading the killing god army, quickly ransacking the houses. These families were all people who opposed Qin Yuan at the banquet.

Although the methods were cruel and bloody, Qin Yuan had no choice but to cut through the mess quickly. He didn't want to be distracted from dealing with the civil strife when the Northern Qiang cavalry arrived.

"Thank you for your cooperation this time. Each family can get one month's rations according to the population you reported. As for the personnel sent by each family to join the army, they can get additional subsidies. Each person can get ten catties of immortal rice and one hundred catties. Ordinary rice, of course, can also be exchanged for equivalent money or other items."

Qin Yuan said.

In the field, the faces of the patriarchs and elders recovered a little blood.

This time, no one objected, and those who objected before could no longer speak out.

"The prefect is wise."

The head of the Yu family stood up and said respectfully.

"Thank you, Lord Prefect."

County Magistrate Zhou stood up with trembling body.

The two of them were among the foreigners who were the quickest to join Qin Yuan, so the two families did not suffer much loss, but gained a lot of benefits.

Especially the Yu family, after all, is a military family, and most of the children of the family are in the army, so this time the family members were transferred, and they cooperated very much, and even expected the children of the family to make contributions in the army.

There are still many vacancies for the positions of middle and low generals in the eight major legions. This is also an opportunity for the Yu family.

"Starting tomorrow, Mingwu City will be closed for one month. Prepare yourself and inform your subordinates that no one will be allowed to enter without my personal permission."

Qin Yuan threw another heavy weight.

Everyone was shocked and frightened, and many people even showed signs of worry.

"Master Taishou, I heard that there are more than [-] people in the city. If the city is closed, will the food problem be solved?" County Magistrate Zhou pondered for a while, and had to speak out when everyone looked at him.

"Of course it can. A large amount of food has already been stored in the city. Not to mention one month, two months is more than enough. Please rest assured that the city has been closed for a long time. As long as you cooperate well, nothing will go wrong."

Qin Yuan said lightly.

Some time ago, the Gu family not only collected a lot of money through the fairy rice business, but also purchased countless grains and supplies from various places.

Apart from Qin Yuan, no one knows the exact number of granaries in the city, even Shen Liwen only knows a little bit.

The food stored in the city is not two months as Qin Yuan said, even half a year, it can't be used up.

Not to mention the genetic rice in Qin Yuan's hands, even if the city is closed for a year or two, it can still support it.

"That's good!"

Magistrate Zhou bowed his hands and retreated.

"Northern Qiang is going south now, and it will take no more than three days to arrive at Mingwu City. Does the prefect have a way to break it?"

The head of the Yu family stood up again and asked.

"Mingwu city wall has been replaced by earth wall to stone wall, and all the city gates have been replaced by solid steel. It is indestructible. The city wall is 25 meters high, and it is difficult for even a body-training martial artist to climb. All kinds of fortifications and ordnance are ready. , the eight major armies in the city are strong and strong. Even if the enemy attacks, they will not be able to capture them without ten times our strength. The city will be closed for a month, and they will not take the initiative to go out of the city to fight the enemy. know."

Qin Yuan looked at Patriarch Yu and said. "If the enemy wants to attack the city, I'd be more than willing to accompany them, and see who can spend more than whom."

According to Qin Yuan's military reform plan, in the next few days, the eight major armies will be completed, with a total of 8 people, even if they are recruits, it will be easy to hold on to a Mingwu city.

According to the intelligence information obtained, it was Ma Qingbiao, the leader of the Ma clan who went south this time, who personally led [-] elite cavalry.

Qin Yuan is not afraid of [-] attacking [-]. Instead, he can take advantage of this opportunity to train and sharpen his soldiers.

This is also the purpose of this city closure.

One is to train the soldiers so that the eight major legions have the fighting power. After all, most of the soldiers are recruits. After a month of training, plus skills, weapons, and unlimited meat, they can definitely form an elite army.

The second is the Northern Qiang cavalry, which is also an elite force with strong combat power.

If it was a head-on confrontation, even if they won, it would be a disastrous victory, and the death toll would probably be no less than [-].

It's better to defend according to the city, you can block the enemy's attack, you can also conduct actual combat training, and at the same time gradually improve the combat effectiveness of the army.

the next day.

Ming Wu City was officially closed, ushering in a period of rapid development.

Especially under the premise of no worries about money and food, he recruited soldiers desperately.

The original 5000 city guards and [-] Qin family troops, plus the [-] soldiers who took refuge, and more than [-] personnel from each family.

A total of 5000 people, plus 4 Dragon Scale Army, [-] Killing God Army and a large number of trained recruits, the current military strength has reached [-].

Except for the Dragon Scale Army and the Killing God Army, the rest of the army were dispersed, reorganized, and integrated into the six major legions.

After the closure of the city, the speed of recruitment was very fast, and many young and middle-aged men joined the army one after another.

The treatment Qin Yuan gave was also very high. As long as he joined the army, he would receive the same treatment as the families in the city. Each person could receive ten catties of immortal rice and one hundred catties of ordinary rice. In addition, he also had a monthly salary.

Today's Immortal Rice is no longer priced at a gold price per catty as it was at the beginning, and the price has dropped to a price of three taels of silver per catty, which is still unaffordable for ordinary people.

After many young and middle-aged men join the army, they can directly exchange the fairy rice for ordinary rice, and they can also exchange it for three hundred catties of ordinary rice.

Four hundred catties of rice is enough for a family of five to feed for three months. If it is replaced by coarse grains, it will not be a problem to eat for a year or so.

As a soldier, not only do my family no longer worry about food, but I can also eat enough every day. Not only is there an unlimited supply of fairy rice, but there are meat and vegetables at every meal. Putting it in other places, it is definitely a noble life.

However, what is more uncomfortable is that apart from eating and sleeping every day, it is a devil-style training.

There are six hours of training a day, and there are two more hours to fight in actual combat, and you will be injured almost every day.

The happiest time is the short but beautiful meal time.

As for sleeping, it is only three hours a day.

Moreover, according to Qin Yuan's request, the Great Qin Huwei would be arranged to raid the camp every day.

All soldiers have to maintain a high degree of vigilance and agility to respond to crises and accidents that may arise at any time when they are sleeping.

At the same time, taking each song as a unit, whether it is camp performance, training challenge, or actual combat confrontation, the bottom ten songs will be severely punished.
