Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 126
Lao Liu was surprisingly generous this time.

After getting the standard of the Red Star Army's food and salary, they doubled it as agreed before without even blinking.

For the 24 martyrs who died in battle, the compensation of 5000 yuan per person is only a small amount, and the most important thing is the follow-up support for their families.

Although it is not even a drop in the bucket for the Liu Bei Group as a whole, it needs to be spent every year.

Lao Liu still didn't blink at this.

Except that the land that Liu Chan promised to the families of regular soldiers still had to come from his own private property, and things like arranging work for military family members still had to be handled by Liu Chan himself, Lao Liu almost borne all other expenses of the Red Star Army.

As for the equipment problem, this time Lao Liu also suffered a lot of bleeding.

The ratio of the black armor of the Red Star Army is set at 20:1, and now one thousand Red Star Army can be allocated 50 collars of black armor, and two thousand is one hundred collars.

Each person has a Pi Zhajia and a rhubarb crossbow. As for other weapons such as crossbows, spears, swords, etc., Liu Chan can take them on demand.

Except for the war horses, if Liu Chan wanted to add cavalry to the Red Star Army, he would have to do it himself. In terms of other equipment, Lao Liu was very generous, and he was rationed entirely according to the most elite troops.

Old Liu didn't know that Liu Chan still had a reserve team in the Scarlet Star Army, and the equipment was calculated according to the total number of people.

As for the generals in the Red Star Army, Liu Bei gave his son a miscellaneous number of generals, one for the general and one for the general, and the general is Ding Feng.

One army commander, three school lieutenants, these are all quotas, and Liu Chan can decide on his own candidates.

For other low-level military officers such as military marquis, garrison chief, and Shichang, Liu Chan can also set up as needed, and Lao Liu just pays for it.

In order to increase the combat power of his son's pro-army, Lao Liu also spent a lot of money.

If these equipment and money and food are spent on ordinary troops, the number of people can be doubled several times.

Of course, it was only after hearing Guan Yu and his son's detailed report on the Battle of Jingzhou and knowing the combat power of the Red Star Army that he was willing to pay the money.

And when Liu Chan wanted to expand the Red Star Army, Lao Liu also opened the door to the issue of the source of troops. The soldiers of the Chinese army except Chen Dao's white scorpion soldiers were allowed to choose.

To recruit recruits, local officials also need to fully cooperate.

It's not that Lao Liu is reluctant to give elite soldiers, but the white scorpion soldiers are also special-purpose "special forces."

Chen Dao has trained the Bai Mu soldiers for many years, and fought with Liu Bei in the north and south. The tactics have long been fixed, which is not suitable for Liu Chan's Red Star Army.

As for the recruitment of recruits, Liu Chan had already planned. Now that he has the support of Lao Liu, he no longer needs to recruit recruits from the refugees.

Moreover, during this period, the war between Hanzhong and Jingzhou was settled, and there were gates in the east and north, and there were not so many refugees who came to Yizhou.

Those who can be selected and qualified are even rarer, and after that they need to raise their bodies to participate in training, and it is too late to form combat power.

He still wanted to use next year's strategic buffer period with Cao and Sun to solve the South China issue, but he couldn't wait that long.

At this time, Nanzhong surrendered to Liu Bei in name, but taxes were hardly collected. Although there were prefects in several counties, they actually had very little control over the local area, and their lifelines were controlled by local wealthy and foreign tribes for self-government.

Either he has been in harmony with the central government, and has become an emperor of the country by colluding with local forces.

This time, Guanshi Zhao's caravan went to Nanzhong. Although they failed to find cotton and mineral veins, Nanzhong's gold, silver, dan, lacquer, cattle, and war horses were also indispensable resources.

What's more important is the people. Nanzhong's folk customs are tough, and the tribes have constant conflicts all year round, and their martial arts are abundant. These are all high-quality soldiers.

The famous Wudang Flying Army of later generations was composed of foreign soldiers such as Qingqiang here.

Only by mastering Nanzhong can we fully master all the resources of Yizhou.

This is extremely critical to the great cause of the Northern Expedition in the future.

Moreover, once Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling in history, Nanzhong immediately became troubled.

At that time, he was poor and white, and Lao Liu lost all his family fortune.

Even the hexagonal Prime Minister Zhuge is a clever woman who can't cook without rice, and he can only appease him.

In the north, Cao Wei's army is suppressing the border, in the east, Wu Lao Er, who has newly acquired Jingzhou, clamors every day to take Yizhou in the west, and in the south, there are the rebellious three counties of Nanzhong and Nanzhong... This is the phrase "autumn of critical survival".

Nanzhong, the unstable bomb in the rear, must use the short period of peace to resolve it as soon as possible.

Therefore, Liu Chan is going to recruit good family sons this time. Of course, the salary will be announced, and whether to apply for the recruitment is entirely voluntary.

The operating model of the Red Star Army also determines that the source of troops must be voluntary, and it is meaningless to pull strong men.

Liu Chan is intensively preparing for the expansion of the Red Star Army in Chengdu. On the Yangtze River, several large cargo ships of Zhao's company are also sailing from Jiangling to Yizhou.

Even in winter, the water of the Yangtze River will not be frozen, and there is no freezing period throughout the year, which also brings great convenience to the logistics and personnel exchanges between Jingyi and Yizhou.

But this time the ship was not loaded with grain, oak and other goods like before.

It was about four hundred strong and sturdy men and their families... and the Chai Rong family who was in a disturbed mood.

"If you want to vote for me, I heard that after Jiangdong was defeated, he went to Jiangling to find Zhao's business name."

This was the last sentence Liu Chan left to Chai Rong.

In addition to the joy of completing the task, he calmed down and began to think about the meaning of this task.

Is it really just a test for them?That would be too generous.

They attacked and captured the county seat by surprise and marched all the way to Ruxuwu. Jiang Qin was forced to lead his army back to defend, and Jingzhou and Jiangdong were defeated.

"After Jiangdong was defeated, go to Jiangling..."

Chai Rong, who had become well-known in the areas of Lujiang and Danyang, and many poor people in the two counties were willing to serve as his eyeliner, combined the information he obtained not long ago and came to an unexpected conclusion.

General Song Jiang Song Gongming who helped them plan the development route of the cottage, taught him to fight guerrillas, be a righteous thief, and choose a site to build a village... Maybe it was someone from the government.

It is very likely that it is under Liu Bei's command.

Thinking about it this way, there is an explanation for why a bandit team can have such combat power, such a high vision and insight.

Chai Rong was very troubled by this discovery.

To go, or not to go?

His past experience made him dislike the government at all, but General Song Gongming's personal charm really convinced him.

The most important thing is that he is not optimistic about the future of people like himself.

Now he has been raised by General Gongming, and his vision is not comparable to before.

Jiangdong is newly defeated, and after the loss of soldiers and generals, it is necessary to replenish the source of troops to restore vitality.

Where do the soldiers come from?According to Jiangdong's consistent style, the first consideration will be to squeeze Shanyue!

Although his cottage is quite strong, but compared with other cottages, he doesn't think he can withstand Jiangdong's army.

Even if it can be carried for a while, how long can it be carried?One year or two years?
Chai Rong struggled for several days, and finally decided - I voted for Liu!
After the plan was decided, Chai Rong showed his vigorous side, and immediately summoned the "Sifang Generals" under his command to discuss the matter.

After talking about their thoughts, the other four had different expressions.

The bearded man who also admired Song Gongming immediately agreed, while the other three showed embarrassment.

After several fires with the local Shanyue, many people under Chai Rong's command have now changed.

Even the thieves in the cottage, there is no shortage of Danyang people who can't get past Danyang Mountain and go up the mountain to defect.

It can be said that his cottage is equivalent to undergoing a blood change.

The four generals also changed two.

Many people don't want to change their current lives, let alone go to the government for refuge.

Chai Rong saw that the other three people looked distressed, but he didn't force it, and immediately expressed his willingness to go with him, so he followed.

For those who don't want to leave, Chai Rong chooses the best one for the position of "General Manager" in the cottage, and gives it up.

When you leave, you only take the necessary money, food, and life and combat needs, and leave all other money, food, and supplies.

Seeing Chai Rong's generosity, the other three immediately beamed with joy, and immediately wished the commander a smooth trip, and said that when you come back in the future, you will still be our commander.

In this way, Chai Rong, with a big beard, led his troops and his family on a journey to find General Song Gongming.

The reconstruction of Jiangling City is proceeding in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Zhuge Liang.

Although the people of Jiangling have not yet returned, the soldiers of the Jingzhou Army with high morale are unambiguous in their work. Besides, many of them are from Jiangling.

And there were quite a few people in Zhao's firm among the six hundred civilians. When Liu Chan led the army back, they resumed their contact network and business routes.

Now he is actively helping to supply and transport Jiangling's reconstruction needs, and by the way, he has made a lot of money reasonably and legally.

Zhuge Liang, who knew who the owner of Zhao's firm was behind the scenes, not only did not interfere with this, but also gave him a lot of convenience.

If a merchant really wants to become a big business, he will always have the support of officials behind him, which has been the case throughout the ages.

Facing the arrival of Chai Rong and others, the people of Zhao's firm immediately remembered Zhao Guanshi's order when they heard that they were looking for Song Gongming.

Immediately entertained them with delicious food and drinks, and then sent them to Chengdu by cargo ship.

As for what to send and who Song Gongming is, that's none of their business.

Hearing that the destination was Chengdu, Chai Rong knew that his guess was correct. General Song Gongming must be under Liu Bei's command!

But Liu Bei's general Chai Rong has also heard of it, Guan Zhang, Zhao Mahuang, and he has heard of it, but there is no general surnamed Song.

But after thinking about it, since he had to conceal his identity, he probably used a pseudonym at the beginning, so he was relieved.

"Husband, I'm not familiar with the place where I'm going to live here... and I don't know what the future holds." Chai Rong's wife, the thin girl at the time, looked plump and healthy now, with a baby in her arms.

Chai Rong had no idea, but thinking of his past contact with General Gongming, he still comforted him: "General Gongming will definitely treat us kindly. Without him, you and your son would have been killed."

When Chai Rong's wife thought of the danger of being humiliated that day, and the heroic young man who led the army to save them, her heart felt more at ease.

"Let's go, let's go to the city!"
