At present, there are five soldiers and horses that can be dismantled by Dayong near Dengzhou.One is the Jinzhou Army, which he expanded with 800 soldiers to the south, with 4600 soldiers; More than 4000 people were eaten, leaving less than 700 people.The third is the Dongjiang soldiers captured after the Battle of Zhuqiao and the main force of the rebel army recruited from far away. This part of the soldiers has the largest number of nearly 3500 soldiers.The fourth is Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming's troops who surrendered in Laizhou. Among them are two thousand Dongjiang soldiers under Mao Chenglu's command, probably around 5.The last part is the Dengzhou Navy, with a total of 6000 soldiers under Qian Dagang.The five soldiers and horses add up to nearly [-] people. This number is definitely not a number of soldiers and horses that Dayong can afford, and the court will never allow it.If he wanted to raise [-] soldiers, unless the entire Liao Town was in the hands of Dayong, he couldn't do it even if he racked his brains.

And since Songshan, Dayong has always followed the path of elite soldiers. He firmly believes that there are not many soldiers, but elite soldiers.

Of the five parts, Jinzhou's own army, Dayong, will definitely not be laid off, and the Dengzhou Navy does not plan to lay off, because he still needs to rely on the navy's warships.Excluding these two parts, the remaining three groups of people will bear the brunt of it.

After much deliberation, Dayong set the principle of abolishment. First, he recruited Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongyi, Li Zhongfu, Xiang Chong, Gao Huai, Lin Tai, Du Guo, Shen Yi, Liang Dao, etc. to his temporary military tent. Tell them frankly and honestly that the Jinzhou Army can't afford to support their soldiers and horses, and the court will not allow them to continue to have their own private soldiers, so it is imperative to abolish their soldiers and horses.

"Whether you want a head or glory, it's all in your mind." [

Dayong is not worried at all that some of the surrendered generals here will resist the order to disarm. These senior generals in the rebel army are actually more than a thousand generals, and his serious Jinzhou generals In comparison, the level is not one or two points worse.What's more, these upstarts have long been frightened by themselves, so how dare they have the courage to bargain with Shi Dayong. (starter:)

"The people under my command are all strong men from Shandong. It is difficult to serve as auxiliary soldiers. Keeping them is also a waste of food for our Jinzhou army. If the general doesn't mention it, the last general has long wanted to disband them." The first person to express support was Xiang Chong, who gathered more than 4000 people.He is a knowledgeable and sensible person, he knows how many bones he has in his body, and he also knows who his future wealth depends on, so as soon as Dayong finished speaking, he became the first person to respond to the call.

Xiang Chong took the lead, followed by Gao Huai, Lin Tai and others, who expressed their support one after another. Some of them were jealous and asked that kid Xiang Chong to snatch it away. You must know that after surrendering to Shi Dayong, in front of him, Opportunities to show loyalty are few and far between.

Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming were a little worried at first, fearing that if their soldiers were laid off, they would lose their status in the Jinzhou Army, but seeing Gao Huai and the others responding to the disarmament, they could only express their support.What else?Gao Huai, Xiang Chong, and nearly 5 people agreed to lay off. The two of them have only a little over 3000 men, and the real soldiers are only more than [-]. There is no need for those guys to attack them for credit, and the cavalry of the Jinzhou Army can kill them. They leveled out.

Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming remembered how the three thousand Liaodong cavalry outside Xiaoguantun were defeated, and how badly they were defeated. Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming remembered it clearly. If they make a fuss together, I'm afraid they have already joined Li Jiuzheng and Kong Youde under the Underworld.

Geng Zhongming is actually the chief culprit for the destruction of Dengzhou City. He is one of the top rebels on the imperial court's list of rebels who must be killed. Now he still bears the name of the remnants of the rebels. If Dayong doesn't clean up for him, he will live a day. Uneasy life.If you want to continue to fight back, he doesn't have the strength and courage anymore, and now he can't do anything other than obey orders honestly.

Dayong was a little surprised by the quick response of the surrendered generals. He thought that someone would stand up and negotiate with him, but now he responded completely, and he didn't even have to use the prepared threats. good for everyone.It felt like I was bored with the "three" and all the players were dying.

"Well, since you all understand the righteousness so well, I have nothing to say. I know all the contributions you have made. I will definitely fight for you from the imperial court."

No one wanted to make trouble, so Dayong stopped talking nonsense and asked Lin Junyi to tell all the surrendered generals about the abolition plan.

First of all, each general should truthfully report the number of soldiers under his command, whether they wear armor or not, whether they are blunderbuss soldiers or other types of arms, and whether they were Dongjiang soldiers. After that, all these soldiers will be accepted and reformed by the Jinzhou Army. Correspondingly, The Jinzhou Army will also take out a number of officer positions to install these surrendered generals and trusted officers, and will also reward them.When Lin Junyi was introducing, Dayong deliberately interjected to tell the surrendered generals that he would definitely report the appointment of these officers to the Ministry of War.Hearing this, the eyes of the generals suddenly lit up, and their hearts came alive.

After the soldiers were concentrated, the remaining people counted how many young and strong were forcibly pulled, how many were attached to the bandits, and how many were old and weak.After the number of people is counted, all the young and strong will be transferred to the military households in the village, and the old and weak will be resettled in Dengzhou City. Those who want to go back to their hometowns will also be sent money to let them go back.As for the bandits and thieves who robbed houses, they were all accepted by the Jinzhou Army. They selected the best and strong, and went to the old and weak, and arranged them according to the method of soldiers.

After Lin Junyi read it out, Dayong asked the generals if they had any comments, and all the generals said they had no comments, and everything was at the discretion of the general.At the moment, Dayong asked them to go back to make statistics, and after the statistics came up, the Jinzhou Army would coordinate with Dengzhou officials to deal with them.

After three full days of statistics, the ministries truthfully reported 14000 soldiers (including selected bandits), 35000 young and strong, and 17000 old, weak, sick, and disabled. More than 17000 of the 4000 old, weak, sick, and disabled chose to return home. After giving them money, Dayong gave them ten taels of silver by himself, telling them that this was a reward for their expedition to the west, which was fulfilled.

Many of the 35000 young and strong people also want to go home. Their origins are very complicated, including those from North Zhili, Shandong, Denglai, and even some from Hebei and Gyeonggi.Regarding their request to return to their hometown, Dayong refused after considering it, and told them clearly that if they wanted to return to their hometown, they had to plant land in Dengzhou for three years.

This condition does not allow for bargaining, and whoever is not willing will directly act as a military follower.With such a strict order, the young and strong who want to go back to their hometown can only agree to stay in Dengzhou. Fortunately, the longest period is only three years. After the three-year period, they can go home by themselves. It is much stronger to return home empty-handed.Besides, An Ansheng's farming for three years is much better than being a civilian husband for the officers and soldiers, whose life is in danger at any time.
