Mi Han

Chapter 165

When Mi Fang and Guan Yu began to discuss Mi Yang's marriage, the protagonist Mi Yang had already arrived in Jiangling City.

The population exchange between the Han and Wei armies came to an end gradually, and Mi Yang could no longer recruit too many soldiers among the people returning from the south.

Until now, Mi Yang has recruited less than four thousand recruits in total.

Wanting to wait until the end of the whole exchange of population between the two armies, Mi Yang can only recruit about [-] excellent soldiers from it at most.

In fact, during this period of time, there have been nearly [-] people returning from the south.

It's just that although the base is huge, most of them are old, weak, women and children. In addition, Mi Yang's requirements for conscription are quite strict, and ordinary young people can't catch his eyes, so he can only recruit so many recruits in the end.

Five thousand new recruits plus [-] former public security soldiers who have been formally included under Mi Yang's command, Mi Yang's [-] army establishment is still about [-] short.

Mi Yang intends to obtain these sources of troops from those who surrendered from the Wu army.

Mi Yang and Wu Jun fought a total of three tough battles, the first was the battle between Mi Yang and Sun Huan, the second was the ambush where Mi Yang lured the king into the urn, and the third was the night attack of the public security with the most fruitful record .

In those three battles, Mi Yang captured about [-] Wu soldiers in the first battle.

The Wu army that entered the city in the second round was basically wiped out, and Mi Yang finally captured nearly ten thousand Wu troops in the third round.

So counting a total of three games, Mi Yang captured a total of about [-] Wu troops.

Sun Quan did not implement the wrong service system, so most of these Wu army prisoners, Mi Yang can eat with confidence.

In addition, after those three battles, Mi Yang's majesty was already very strong among the Wu army's prisoners, which was also conducive to Mi Yang's command of them in the future.

Except for the Shanyue soldiers, most of the Wu army's infantry came from Danyang County. The Danyang infantry is the best in the world, and it is an excellent source of soldiers.

After the captives of the Wei Army in Jiangling City were continuously returned to the north, Li Yan, the public security guard, gradually took more than ten thousand Wu Army prisoners in the city of Public Security and escorted them to Jiangling City.

Therefore, in order to recruit troops, Mi Yang went south from Xiangyang City to Jiangling City the day before yesterday.

The current Nanjun prefect is Chen Dao. When Chen Dao saw that Mi Yang went south to recruit soldiers, as Mi Yang's uncle, he immediately cooperated fully with Mi Yang's recruitment work without saying a word.

It's just that Mi Yang still needs to screen the more than ten thousand Wu army prisoners.

Most of the more than [-] Wu army prisoners had good physical fitness.

What Mi Yang cares about is their origin and composition.

Mi Yang set the principle of "three non-acceptances".

"The master will not accept those who are not dead, the soldiers from Shanyue will not be accepted, and those who have wives in Jiangdong will not be accepted."

This "three non-acceptances" policy is more to ensure the loyalty of the recruited soldiers of the Wu army.

Jiangdong's military system is a private military system, which has led to the fact that most of Wu's soldiers are the private property of their generals.

Under this military system, the soldiers of the Wu army had a deep relationship with their commander.

If the soldiers of the Wu army who were not dead were included in his army rashly without review, these soldiers of the Wu army might sneak back to Jiangdong in the future.

The most important thing is that if their chief general is still alive, he happens to be included in his army by Mi Yang.

Then, once such a general has bad intentions, it is equivalent to planting time bombs in Mi Yang's troops, and Mi Yang doesn't want to take such a risk.

And Mi Yang only wanted the Danyang pawns, because the Shanyue pawns were more wild and unruly than the Danyang pawns. With better choices, Mi Yang didn't need to choose the Shanyue pawns.

As for the last point that Mi Yang asked for, it was to ensure that the Wu army prisoners under his command would not have any worries in Jiangdong.

In this way, they will be under Mi Yang's command and will willingly follow him to fight in all directions in the future.

After the three eastern counties stabilized, Mi Yang would personally marry them and allocate acres of land for them.

Once they have wives and children in the three eastern counties, they have land, and they have the care in their hearts, and they will naturally have a sense of belonging to Mi Yang.

If Mi Yang takes them to fight Jiangdong in the future, there will be no big problem.

Of course, there are always people who steal, rape and play tricks. When registering the hometown information of Wu Jun who was recruited into the army, some people would always think of fishing in troubled waters. In order to prevent this, Mi Yang set up a reward and punishment system for reporting.

Whenever a Wu army's soldiers are recruited, Mi Yang will group the newly recruited Wu army's soldiers into a song of hundreds, and then pull them before all the Wu army's prisoners.

Mi Yang didn't know the details of those Wu army prisoners, but there must be someone among them who knew the details of each other.

The reward and punishment system established by Mi Yang is that if someone can take the initiative to identify someone who is stealing, raping and playing tricks, and obviously does not meet the "three non-acceptance" standards set by him, he will volunteer to enlist in the army.

Then Mi Yang, who was identified, will be rewarded with a gold medal, and then immediately released back to Jiangdong.

And in order to ensure the accuracy of the identification, Mi Yang also allowed multiple people to testify at the same time to facilitate his verification of the news.

One gold does not sound like much, but it is a huge amount of wealth that many people have never seen in their entire lives.

When the two armies are at war, there will always be a brave man who is willing to take the lead if he is rewarded heavily. What's more, it is enough to identify them now, and there is no need to risk their lives.

Under Mi Yang's reward, many Wu Jun prisoners' eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and they were eager to try.

So under the identification on the first day, among thousands of soldiers, dozens of soldiers were identified as not meeting Mi Yang's "three non-acceptance" standards, and mixed into his recruiting team.

Even though Mi Yang's prestige among these Wu army prisoners is already very deep, there is never a shortage of clever people in this world.

Mi Yang did not break his promise, and rewarded those Wu Jun prisoners who came out to identify them in public, and released them all back to Jiangdong.

As for those soldiers of the Wu army who were stealing, raping and playing tricks, Mi Yang showed no mercy, beheaded them in public, and then hung their heads under the recruiting gate to warn the rest of the people.

Long before the official recruitment, Mi Yang announced in advance: "If there is any deceit, military law will be followed." Under the circumstances that have been announced in advance, those people still want to get away with it.

Under Mi Yang's warning by hanging their heads, all the Wu army prisoners were terrified.

In addition, they were already very afraid of Mi Yang in their hearts, so no one dared to cheat in the next recruiting process.

After completing this matter, Mi Yang entrusted Deng Ai with the remaining recruitment matters.

Deng Ai was very touched and excited that he was entrusted with such a heavy responsibility by Mi Yang when he just joined Mi Yang's command.

Before meeting Mi Yang, he was just a low-level official who guarded the straw.

After meeting Mi Yang, he took on the task of recruiting thousands of elite soldiers not long after, which filled Deng Ai's heart with enthusiasm.

He is not worried that he has done too many things, but he is afraid that his pearls will be cast in secret and cannot be reused.

The more he is used, the stronger his gratitude to Mi Yang will be.

Therefore, in the past few days, he lived in the barracks day and night and was busy with recruiting soldiers. In order to repay Mi Yang, he personally took care of all the big and small matters of recruiting, so he was worried that there might be omissions.

With his own reporting system, coupled with Deng Ai's capable talent, Mi Yang has no worries about recruiting troops in the military camp.

In the past few days, Mi Yang mostly stayed in the prefect's mansion in Jiangling City. On the one hand, he was assisting Chen Dao in handling government and military affairs, and on the other hand, he was planning to pack his luggage.

Nanjun is currently the hub of the entire Jingzhou. After successive wars, it has a lot of government and military affairs in a day.

And Mi Fang is obviously not a qualified prefect.

After Chen Dao took over the position of the prefect of Nanjun, when he saw the mountain of piles of music in the prefect's office, even though he was calm, he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

In desperation, seeing that Mi Yang happened to be in Jiangling City, Chen Dao could only help him with all the government and military affairs that had been piled up for a long time.

After helping Chen Dao handle most of the government and military affairs, Mi Yang began to pack his luggage.

In fact, what Deng Ai didn't know was that he suggested that Mi Yang go to Dongsan County, and Liu Bei had already planned to appoint Mi Yang as the general of Dongsan County.

When Liu Bei appointed Mi Yang's confidant Wang Hong as the magistrate of Shangyong County, he was initially revealing this meaning.

Later, on the day when Liu Feng was punished, Liu Bei left Mi Yang alone in the tent. On the one hand, he ordered him to restrain Liu Feng in the future, and on the other hand, he officially revealed this arrangement in front of Mi Yang.

Wang Hong had already followed Zhang Fei to go north to work in Shangyong, and Mi Yang would also go to Shangyong soon.

Therefore, Mi Yang thought that while he was still in Jiangling City, he would pack his bags and prepare to go north at any time.

Mi Yang did not have the habit of entrusting his servants to pack his bags. In his previous life, because he was running around, he was independent and had already developed the habit of packing his bags alone.

Just when Mi Yangping retired and was packing his bags, Gan Gao reported outside the room, saying that Deng Ai had sorted out a new batch of Wu Army prisoners to enlist in the army.

After hearing the news, Mi Yang put down the books in his hand, and ordered Gan Gao to come in and present the list compiled by Deng Ai.

After Gan Gao entered Mi Yang's room, he came to Mi Yang and respectfully put a stack of bamboo slips in his hand on the desk in front of Mi Yang.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although paper has gradually become popular, it has not completely replaced the existence of bamboo slips.

Paper is more suitable for correspondence between dignitaries, or for the transmission of some important military information.

At least in terms of registering the information of low-level soldiers, bamboo slips are still commonly used in the world today.

After Gan Gao put a large stack of bamboo slips on the desk, Gan Gao bowed to Mi Yang and said, "When I left the barracks, Deng Shuzuo ordered me to report the matter to the general."

Hearing that Deng Ai had something to tell Gan Gao, Mi Yang showed surprise on his face, and asked Gan Gao, "What's the matter?"

Gan Gao didn't dare to look at Mi Yang, he only dared to bend his body, looked at Mi Yang's feet and replied:
"There was a man who claimed to be a surrendered general of Sima of the Jiangdong Army and wanted to serve as a general. Deng Shuzuo couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he ordered me to come and ask the general how to deal with this matter."

Hearing what Gan Gao said, Mi Yang couldn't help but let out a little surprise.

Sima of the first army in Jiangdong?
Whether the military rank of the army Sima is high or low, he was able to raise some soldiers and horses in this world.

Before, I just wanted to recruit ordinary Wu soldiers to join the army, but I didn't expect that there is still a Sima of the army who will take the initiative to join the army.

Mi Yang looked at Gan Gao and asked him, "What's the name of that soldier's Sima?"

Gan Gao remembered the name of the person Deng Ai had told him before he left, and he replied: "According to Deng Shuzuo, that person's name is Ding Feng, and his style name is Chengyuan."

When he heard that the Sima of the Jiangdong Army who volunteered to serve was Ding Feng, Mi Yang's face was a little moved.

It was him.

After a while, Mi Yang's order reached Gan Gao's ears.

"Bring him to me."

After Gan Gao heard about it, he bowed to Mi Yang, and then took his orders and left.

After Gan told him to leave, Mi Yang searched for the information he knew about Ding Feng in his memory.

According to the memory of his previous life, Ding Feng is not from Jiangdong, but from Lujiang.

When he joined Gan Ning's team when he was young, he showed a brave side.

In history, about 20 years after Jian'an, after Gan Ning died of illness, he successively served under the tents of generals such as Lu Xun and Pan Zhang, and participated in many battles, often winning the whole army bravely.

Every time Ding Feng went to battle, he was often able to behead the general and capture the flag, but he was often injured because of his bravery.

He is a rare fierce general, and finally achieved the position of partial general because of his meritorious service.

But what really started to make Ding Feng famous was his fight in the snow during the Battle of Dongxing.

It's just that although Ding Feng has military exploits at this time, it may be because he is still young and has not yet fully shown his talents in the army, so he is only a Sima in the army.

It is recorded in history that Ding Feng died in 271 AD, but there is no record of the year he was born.

According to the records he followed Gan Ning, Ding Feng should have been born around 200 A.D., and is only in his twenties now.

Escorted by a team of Han troops, Ding Feng, with his hands bound, was heading towards Mi Yang's place.

Ding Feng was one of the nearly ten thousand Wu troops who surrendered before the flood.

After Gan Ning's death, Ding Feng led his troops and was assigned to Lu Xun's command.

That night, there was a great turmoil in the Wu army's camp, and the entire command system of the Wu army was disrupted by the big rout. Ding Feng had no choice but to follow the fleeing Wu army to the edge of Weishui step by step.

He, who was in front of many Wu troops at that time, saw that Mi Yang seemed unwilling to accept surrender under the persuasion of one person, at that time he felt that his life was over.

But to his surprise, Mi Yang finally decided to surrender their nearly ten thousand Wu army.

This also made Ding Feng willingly bow down to Mi Yang at that time.

No matter what, it was Mi Yang who spared their lives.

Although Ding Feng has not read any books, he knows how to repay his kindness.

Just a few days ago, Ding Feng heard in the prison camp that Mi Yang wanted to select soldiers under his command from the Wu army's prisoners.

Ding Feng was born in a humble family, but he had a lot of courage since he was a child.

Back then, he joined Gan Ning's command because he wanted to make a career out of his own courage.

Because of this purpose, Ding Feng will fight bravely to be the first in every battle, and he is not afraid of death.

But it is a pity that when he joined the army in Jiangdong, it was no longer the golden age when Sun Ce was in power, no matter his age or background, he only looked at merit.

Under Sun Quan's balance in the past 20 years, Jiangdong's system has become more and more solidified. Since Jian'an 20 years ago, most of the promotion channels in the Jiangdong Army have been occupied by children of related families.

So even though Ding Feng had considerable military exploits before, in the end he didn't even get a school lieutenant.

This disappointed Ding Feng, who had great ambitions in his heart.

Especially after Ding Feng joined the army, he had personally experienced the two major defeats in Jiangdong, the Battle of Hefei and the Battle of Public Security, which made him even more hopeless about Jiangdong's future.

So when he heard the news of Mi Yang's recruitment, he had the intention of changing his family.

Compared with the lifeless Jiangdong, which has been defeated repeatedly, the King of Hanzhong, who has successively won the Battle of Hanzhong and the Battle of Public Security, and who is like the rising sun, may be worthy of his real service.

Among the generals under King Hanzhong, Mi Yang is undoubtedly his best target.

In addition to Mi Yang being kind to him, and he is willing to run for it, but also because Mi Yang is young, he will definitely not judge people by their age like ordinary people.
