Although the three prefectures of Jeju, Dongping, and Dongchang are good, they are not occupied by the current Li Yan, because the current Li Yan can't hold them at all. You must know that although Zhao Ji's various masterpieces, his previous predecessors The huge family fortune laid down is still there. There are at least a dozen or two 10,000+ forbidden troops in the Northern Song Dynasty. The most important thing is that the Northern Song Dynasty still has the Western Army that can fight well. If Li Yan separates the regime, let the Northern Song Dynasty make up his mind to destroy Li Yan. Just like Fang La who gathered more than 52 people a few years later to separatist [-] counties in six prefectures, the Jiuhui will not be wiped out for long.

To put it bluntly, the current Northern Song Dynasty has not yet reached the time of subjugation. Occupying the state capital at this time has no benefit other than attracting firepower.

Therefore, whoever wants to do this kind of stupid thing will do it, anyway, Li Yan won't do it.

Not only that, Li Yan even planned to shift his focus to Jeju Island. Once the Northern Song Dynasty came to suppress Li Yan and Li Yan found it difficult to resist, Li Yan would lead a group of Liangshan heroes to temporarily retreat to Jeju Island.

All in all, it is not relentless to snatch Li Yan, otherwise there will be no way to develop, but at this stage Li Yan is not ready to wrestle with the Northern Song Dynasty, because the gap between the two sides is too great.

Based on this basic idea, after transporting all the confiscated land of the three prefectures back to Shuibo Liangshan, Li Yan immediately distributed the grain.

Taking advantage of the enthusiasm for food distribution, Li Yan began to recruit soldiers and farmers who opened up wasteland.

What Li Yan didn't expect was that the former went quite smoothly. It didn't take much effort to collect 1 yuan in three places ([-] from Jeju Prefecture, [-] from Dongping Prefecture, and [-] from Dongchang Prefecture). The conditions were excellent in all aspects. He is a good soldier, but the acquisition of peasant households has not been so smooth. The three prefectures added together only recruited more than [-] households.

Later, after being reminded by Wen Huanzhang, Li Yan realized what was wrong. Most of the people living in these three prefectures were urbanized, and it was naturally not smooth to recruit farmers among them.

If it weren't for Li Yan's distribution of food first, followed by the offer of super-preferential conditions such as rent-free, and the reputation and credit of Li Yan and Shuibo Liangshan in the past were good enough, many poor people who really couldn't live on were moved. Confused, Li Yan couldn't even recruit 1 households.

The average household in the Song Dynasty was about five people, so 1 households was about 6 people.

Although these people are not enough to feed Jeju Island with a population of 60, they are barely enough for Han Chinese to gain a foothold in Jeju Island at this stage.

After sending these people back to Shuibo Liangshan, the navy immediately transported them to Jeju Island in batches.

This is a long process, so I won't go into details here.

At the same time, Li Yan ordered: expand the army and prepare for war.

Due to the superior conditions this time, Li Yan directly expanded the ten battalions of horse troops, twelve battalions of infantry troops, ten battalions of sailor battalions, ten battalions of reserve troops, two battalions of artillery troops, and one battalion of personal guards, with a total of 2 troops. .

The commanders of the Ten Battalion Horse Army are: Lin Chong, Bian Xiang, Shan Shiqi, Shi Bao, Xu Ning, Yang Zhi, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, Hu Chun, and Zhang Qing.

Lin Chong and Bian Xiang were originally the commanders of the Ma Jun. Naturally, there is nothing to say about being the commander of the Ma Jun this time. The commander of the army, Bian Xiang was the commander of the second army of the horse army.

Shan Shiqi was beaten by Li Yan in the battle against Guo Yong in Dongping Mansion. Later, Li Yan's anger dissipated, so he was restored. Who told Shan Shiqi to be Li Yanqi's old brother at home, but to lead him Don't think about it, not only the commander does not have his share, but even the deputy commander does not have his share. The deputy commander Li Yan made Yang Zhi, who performed very well in the battle of Dongchangfu, and Yang Zhi, who had been guarding Jeju Island for Shuibo Liangshan, respectively. Shi Bao is in charge.

As for why Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun were also promoted as conductors, it was because the three of them were so easy to use!
Let’s not talk about fraudulently opening the gate of Jeju Prefecture.

Except for the third battalion of the Ma Jun, there were no big battles in Dongping Mansion, so let's not talk about it.

Just talk about the battle in Dongchang Mansion.

During that battle, Li Yan was already ready to withdraw from Dongchang Mansion. Later, Lin Chong led Bian Xiang, Xu Ning, Yang Zhi, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, Hu Chun, Shan Shiqi and a group of horsemen Fighting against the rain of arrows, he defeated the Dongchang defenders.

But in that battle, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun always rushed to the front. They even surpassed Lin Chong. In the end, the governor of Dongchang was hacked to death by Hu Chun. After the battle, Zhou Ang was hit by three arrows. Qiu Yue and Hu Chun each got an arrow.

In addition to fighting bravely and taking the lead, Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun were also extremely obedient. It can be said that they would never go west when Li Yan asked them to go east, and they would never scold chickens when Li Yan asked them to beat dogs. The guys are worlds apart.

Under such circumstances, if Li Yan didn't promote the three of them, there would probably never be another general who would sincerely work for Li Yan again.

Therefore, Li Yan took the risk of promoting all three of them as leading generals.

As for Zhang Qing, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he opened the gate of Dongchang Mansion for Li Yan, and accepted the nomination certificate just like Qiu Yue, Zhou Ang, and Hu Chun. Run to Hei with Li Yan.

In addition to Dong Ping's defection, Li Yan had to give the surrendered general confidence, so Li Yan also promoted Zhang Qing as the commander-this is one of the reasons why Li Yan promoted Qiu Yue and other surrendered generals.

The specific arrangements are as follows:

The first army of Ma Jun: Lin Chong is the commander, Yang Zhi is the deputy leader, and the Xu Ning, Qiuyue and Zhang Qing camps are under their jurisdiction.

The second army of the horse army: the commander Bian Xiang, the deputy leader Shi Bao, and the jurisdiction of Zhou Angying, Huchunying, and Shanshiqiying.

The commanders of the [-]th Battalion of the Infantry were: Guanghui, Deng Fei, Lu Zhishen, Zhu Jing, Ou Peng, Yang Lin, Li Sheng, Ma Lin, Cheng Ziming, Peng Qi, Han Tao (persuaded by Peng Qi and his family) Your Majesty has surrendered and paid the surrender certificate).

Among them, Guanghui led the two battalions alone, and was mainly responsible for the defense, so he didn't easily fight.

First Army of the Infantry: Commander Deng Fei, Deputy Commander Zhu Jing, under the jurisdiction of the Lijiao Camp, Ma Lin Camp, and Peng Qi Camp.

Second Infantry Army: Commander Lu Zhishen, deputy commander Ou Peng, govern Yanglin Camp, Cheng Ziming Camp, and Han Tao Camp.

The navy is simple. Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Zhang Shun, Tong Wei, and Tong Meng (who survived in the end) each carried two battalions of sailors, four large ships with a load of [-] shi, and thirty large ships with a load of [-] shi. Ruan Xiaoer is in charge of the capital, and Zhang Shun and Li Jun (concurrently) are in charge of the deputy capital—because of the special nature of the navy, there is no first-level army for the time being, but a compartment directly.

Needless to say, the Tenth Battalion was still led by Du Qian and Song Wantong.

Both battalions of artillery were led by Ling Zhen.

The pro-guard army, commanding Chen Liqing, deputy commanding Ruan Xiaoqi, Ma Ling, and Wang Dingliu.

The horsebu water cannon pro-army is built with the old soldiers of the former Liangshan Army as the skeleton. All the troops take turns to receive basic training for reserve service and receive education from the teaching office.

My preparations are almost done here. Seeing that there is still no movement from the Song court, Li Yan sent Zhang San, Li Si, and Sun Gao to Bianliang, Tokyo to find out when they will come to encircle and suppress him again?
As a result, Zhang San, Li Si, and Sun Gao sent Li Yan back a piece of news that made Li Yan laugh and cry...
