Chapter 1452 The Qin Family (8)

In fact, it is not Zhao Hu's luck. According to the system of enfeoffment of Shi Gaoshi's retainers that has been passed down for many years in the southeast peninsula, as well as the backwardness of infrastructure such as roads and communications, coupled with the perennial strife and discord between the two major powers, the southeast Any city lord on the peninsula dares to listen to the instructions and not to listen to the announcement.

Under such a background, no matter how powerful he is, he is a super prince, and his subordinates are full of these city lords who have their own plans and selfishness, they will still watch Zhao Hu gain a firm foothold in the southeast peninsula.

Now the surrounding forces of the Qin family, which is collectively referred to as the southeast peninsula, and the local tyrants who own a main city are on the alert with fear.

At first, I thought that the Qin family was great because they relied on a group of cavalry to rob everywhere. Apart from the loss, they were not particularly worried about the expansion of the Qin family. Only infantry.As long as he stepped up to train the standing soldiers, the Qin family's greatness was just to grab something.

But who would have imagined that the infantry of the Qin family would be so powerful that they would beat those local tyrants to the ground in a single encounter, and the warriors of the Qin family were also so fierce and brutal that even a village with only a few servants in the countryside could not Let it go, and sweep away all the dignitaries and dignitaries who don't accept others' surrender at all!

And the most exaggerated thing is that the Qin family won the local lordship, but confiscated the property of all the warrior families and demoted them all to common people, including many warrior families that have been passed down for hundreds of years. This is too much!
They have already violated the rules of the game, and absolutely cannot bear it any longer!Otherwise, people like myself will also be treated like this!As the news of the Qin family's rapid expansion spread, the messengers of the surrounding forces also began to communicate frequently, and the undercurrent began to surge.

When everyone thought that the Qin family would pursue the victory and continue to launch an expansion war, the actions of the Qin family were beyond everyone's expectations, especially the surrounding forces' eyes widened.

The messengers directly under the Qin family rode fast horses and rushed towards the five occupied areas. Following the dispatch of these cavalry, the carriages loaded with various supplies also rumbled towards all sides.

The vassals who were about to return to Mingyue City to accept the rewards changed after receiving the order, and all of them became military and political officers who were the targets of the attack, that is, whoever was defeated would govern.

Originally, this was something to be happy about, but the Qin family's retainers couldn't be happy about it.

Because this is not an official appointment, but a temporary officer.But there is no other way if I don't do it. I have to return to Mingyue City to get rewards for my military exploits. If I don't complete the mission, I can't go back to Mingyue City.

The vassals who had no choice but to bring their vassals together began to gather the people to work.

Moder, a general who didn't die but earned a lot of money from one of his retainers, was dumbfounded. He was greedy and built dozens of cottage manors, and his hundreds of retainers were distributed to only four or five people in one place. These few people Can take care of things?Anxious, he had no choice but to choose his retainers from among the private soldiers and wealthy families who were coerced.

The surrounding forces, who had been fighting for a fight, were startled when they saw this movement. While yelling at themselves for being dizzy, they immediately disbanded the standing army that had just doubled in size. The dog hopped and spread out.

Almost instantly, the entire southeastern peninsula completely stopped all fighting, and there were very few incidents of banditry.Not only in the southeast peninsula, but also in the coastal areas of the August Empire, the people who suffered from the warlords' constant battles finally got a chance to breathe.

Everyone in this large area of ​​the same climate is busy with one thing, and that is farming.

Food is very important at any time, especially in the southeast peninsula, where the yield of farmland is extremely low, and Shigao is regarded as a symbol of strength. When it comes to the busy farming season, all wars will stop, and even the bandits who rob for a living will shrink. Go back to the stronghold and work on the one-acre three-point land that was secretly reclaimed.

Maybe it will be said that taking advantage of this good opportunity to send a standing army that is not busy with farming to attack the enemy, it must be easy to catch, even if you can't win, it can also ruin the opponent's busy farming and make him lose everything.

In the history of the southeast peninsula, there was indeed such a guy who did this. However, he encountered a sea of ​​​​people across the territory. Once the standing army entered the enemy's territory, the enemy's warriors and all civilians on the border, regardless of men, women, children, or weaklings, were completely defeated. It is desperate to intercept.

The frenzied crowd quickly devoured the standing army, though at great cost.

After the news came out, the people on the sending side thought that His Highness was disrespectful to the God of Agriculture by launching a war during the sacred season of busy farming.

That's what I said, but the deeper level is that I am afraid that the enemy will retaliate in turn, so that I will be hungry when I have no harvest.Therefore, including the retainers of His Highness, the whole country was rebellious, and the family died in an instant.

Therefore, absolutely not launching a war during the busy farming period and never showing weakness to the enemy are two taboos that cannot be violated on the southeast peninsula.So now there is absolutely no idiot who would risk offending all his retainers and subjects by forcefully launching a war during the busy farming season.

Knowing this, Zhao Hu would certainly not continue to wage war at the risk of disgrace, and even without this taboo, Zhao Hu would not continue to fight.

Although the five occupied territories have eliminated all the hidden dangers in front of them, they must be thoroughly digested and transformed into local strength, so that they can become stronger as they fight.

This bit of common sense can be understood by anyone with a little sense, let alone Zhao Hu.

In addition to ordering those retainers to stay in the occupied area, Zhao Hu also dispatched manpower to start selecting a group of old, weak and disabled soldiers from the entire army, that is, low-level retainers, who have no skills. As a clerk, he left the army and went down to the village level to serve as the head of the village.

These low-level warriors also know their own situation and ability, and they know that staying in the army is impossible to gain any more meritorious service. Now that they have received the actual award of meritorious service and held the position of village head, they are very satisfied with this because they were born as bandits and civilians. After receiving the order with tears streaming down their faces and thanking Dade respectfully, all of them happily entered their jobs.

When the busy farming season ended, these villages were also integrated into the villages. Zhao Hu not only eliminated a group of weak soldiers, but also firmly controlled the occupied areas. I've got it under control, and I'm afraid where it will go hopping around?
Of course, Zhao Hu has another unexpected gain, that is, the morale of the army is stronger.

Because of the practice in the southeast peninsula, when a soldier or a low-level samurai is disabled, he is given a pension of a few pennies to let him go home and eat himself.

Now the Qin family sends these soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness to serve as the village heads. Although they don't have many stone heights, they are enough to support the whole family, and the descendants can directly join the Qin family's army. How about solid morale?

The other vassals who did not get the rewards in advance immediately rushed back to Mingyue City with their subordinates after the busy farming season was over.However, in the army, officers below the rank of general had no choice but to stay in the local main city dejectedly, and send one or two retainers back to help collect the reward documents.

This is true for soldiers, not to mention auxiliary soldiers.

These low-level warriors are the most unlucky. Officers can drill them to vent their anger. Who are they who are equivalent to soldiers to vent their anger?I had no choice but to exhaust myself half to death, and fell asleep as soon as I lay down, so as not to be punished for thinking wildly.

The military and political meeting was held again. This time, only people above the general level were eligible to participate. Those low-level retainers who rushed back, after meeting the lord collectively, went to the newly formed Ministry of Military Affairs and waited for the superior to confirm their merits and achievements. Receive a reward.

Those low-level retainers really didn't like it when they thought about it, they didn't accept the reward in front of the lord.

But look at the colleagues who surrounded the Ministry of Military Affairs tightly, and the densely packed colleagues and retainers who came outside to accompany their lords, or come to receive documents on their behalf, imagine if you crowded the hall of the castle tower, one It's really sweaty to accept the reward in turn.

If all the vassals were disbanded after being canonized, I am afraid that when they return home, the children who were just born before the meeting will be able to go to the street to make soy sauce.

It was the first time for several officials of the Military Affairs Department to do this kind of work, jumping up and down and shouting loudly. Unfortunately, the chaotic inquiries of countless people made them dumb, and it was impossible for people to understand what they meant.

When everyone was sweating profusely and didn't know what to do, there was a sound of horseshoes and muffled drums coming from behind. Everyone looked back and immediately shut their mouths. The beauty they couldn't afford to offend came.

Zhou Wen, who was riding on a tall horse and supported by hundreds of fierce inner guard cavalry behind him, looked even more slender and thin, glared at everyone angrily.

Although it looks a bit coquettish and cute, who among the retainers present dares to raise their eyes and look up?It's the retainers of those retainers who don't know the details who secretly swallow their saliva and take a peek.

But they didn't dare to be too blatant. Although most of the rookies didn't know the details of this beauty, but seeing their lord behaved like a kitten, an idiot would seek death.

Zhou Wen flicked his horsewhip and shouted angrily: "What's the mess? Your voices can be heard in the conference hall!
Those who know know that you are in a hurry, but those who don't know think you are rioting!It really disgraced the Qin family warriors!Now listen to the order, line up according to the number of the unit you belong to, those without military ranks according to the number of the unit you follow, and line up in order of military rank qualification age!hurry up! "
