Valley Emperor

After leaving the Huang family, Li Xuan soon took the Tang Junchen and dozens of soldiers to visit several other prestigious local wealthy households in Liushazhuang.

Every time he went to a house, Li Xuan would do the same thing as in Huang's house. In addition to reiterating that his new army of the Tang Dynasty would not disturb the people or loot, he would also recruit their direct descendants in the name of cherishing talents, especially the eldest son. kind of people.

As for whether the direct descendants of these wealthy households are really talented or not, that doesn't matter, what matters is their identities!

Li Xuan made such a move, half-forced to take away the children of the family's direct line. The purpose was quite obvious, and even Qian Mengjiu and the others saw that they were taken away and were all the rich families who were awarded the official hat of the Tang Dynasty. Children, in the words of the lofty, they are protons.

Well, this proton is not the proton in the electron neutron proton. The ancients have not yet discovered the secret of the atomic nucleus, but the prince of the country who volunteered or was forced to act as a hostage in a neighboring country or even an enemy country, abbreviated as: proton.

I won't talk about it too long ago, but let's talk about what everyone knows: Jiang Ershi, the bald-headed son of Jiang, has been a hostage in the Soviet Union for twelve years, and he was a tragic child who was trapped by his father!

Now Li Xuan has half-forced the children of these wealthy households to gather them, also to make the rich and powerful households in these places have some scruples. After all, the eldest son of your family, the eldest grandson, and the heirs of the family are all under my hands, you. If you dare to resist the rule of the Tang Dynasty, then the heirs of your family will be in danger.

In addition, this arrangement has another very interesting effect, that is, these hostages are not only hostages, but Li Xuan also sealed them off.

All of them are Tang officials such as Langzhong, principal, etc. Although they can't get a single penny like other Tang officials, and even they themselves are unwilling to admit this position, but is it important?

It doesn't matter, anyway, whether you like it or not, you are an official of the Tang Dynasty. The names of the eight classics are registered. If the Ming army returns to Zhengtai County and wipes out the Tang Dynasty, you are an official of the Tang Dynasty. Senior officials still want to live?

is it possible?

Those Ming army soldiers who are eager for merit will cut off your head without hesitation, and then pick up the reward for promotion!

At this moment, for many people, the official position of the Tang Dynasty is not a guillotine, but a guillotine. Once an official of the Tang Dynasty, there will be a knife called 'Ming Jun' on the top of the head. Hanging, not sure when it will be cut off.

Li Xuan knew from a very early time that the pirate ship of the Tang Dynasty could not get off once it came up. It doesn't matter whether you are willing or unwilling at the beginning, as long as you come up and want to go down, it is basically impossible.

Zeng Ziwen is like this, Yang Xiucai is also like this. Some time ago, when Yang Xiucai was recruited by him, he was not as reluctant. Now, although he is not very proactive, he does the same thing. Not much.

Now as long as he can use these talents, Li Xuan cares whether he is sincere or not!

It's just that the scale of Li Xuan's work is a bit large. They have passed four medium and large villages along the way, and took more than ten large households hostages. This makes Qian Mengjiu a little worried that such a large-scale hostages will be taken. cause resistance.

But Li Xuan didn't take it seriously. If these big households would resist, they would have resisted long ago. Most people are still afraid of death, and what Li Xuan took away was only their heirs, not their patriarchs!

And Li Xuan didn't take away all their direct descendants. If the eldest son of direct descendants died, it was okay for a second son to inherit the family business!

Li Xuan left such an obvious loophole for them in order to reduce their resolute resistance. Of course, no matter what, there will always be people who resist, and for these families who resist, Li Xuan will not hesitate to deduct them. The last charge of harbouring a false spy was seized and sent back to Huangzhusha as a coolie. By the way, he was able to confiscated a lot of property and food to use as military resources, and also distributed fields to those soldiers who had newly joined the Datang New Army.

In order to expand the army, Li Xuan recruited large-scale troops outside Dashan for the first time. Unlike the previous few times when he recruited only a few dozen, he planned to recruit more than 500 soldiers this time, plus the existing troops. , and strive to increase the number of troops to more than a thousand people.

Even if Zeng Ziwen said that attacking Zhengtai County is not desirable, capturing and even controlling the countryside of Zhengtai County is what Li Xuan wants to do, and to control a county, relying on the existing 300 to 500 people will definitely not work. , they need more troops.

And more importantly, it is used to resist the attack of the Ming army in the future!

In order to recruit troops on a large scale, and to recruit qualified soldiers, and at the same time willingly join in, instead of being forced to recruit soldiers, Li Xuan is rarely generous.

Those who apply and pass will be given 50 catties of food immediately, and at the same time promise to have two full meals a day, and the land will be distributed immediately.

Don't think that 50 catties of food is very little, and it is only a few dollars when converted into silver, but for those families who can't afford to eat, it is an extremely valuable amount of life-saving food that can allow their families to survive and not starve to death.

At the same time, Datang Xinjun promised that as long as he joined the army, he could have two full meals a day, which was also extremely important. Just being able to eat enough was enough to make many children of peasant families in bitter and cold families work for the Tang Dynasty.

If the above two points are only preliminary to attract children from poor families to join the army, then the most important system of dividing land is used to thoroughly stimulate their centripetal force towards the Tang Dynasty.

As long as you join the army, you can get the land, but if you want to keep these lands, you must ensure that the Tang Dynasty does not perish.

Because the Ming Dynasty did not recognize the legitimacy of the land allocated by the Tang Dynasty to these soldiers, once the Tang Dynasty was over, the fields they obtained would be instantly vanished~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and they themselves, These soldiers fought hard so that their families could have a piece of land that they could pass on to future generations.

Because at that time, they were no longer fighting for the Tang Dynasty, but for themselves!

The three recruitment conditions designed by Li Xuan can be said to have instantly stimulated the enthusiasm of many poor children to join the army.

The active application situation even exceeded Li Xuan's expectations. In the previous few villages, at least a lot of people would apply for the application in each village, and this was still under the circumstance that the publicity was not in place. more and more people.

When it came to the official recruitment of soldiers at Liushazhuang, there were more than 200 people, and many people came from the surrounding villages to become soldiers. It can be seen that the three recruitment conditions proposed by Li Xuan are correct. How attractive is the poor.

Li Xuan watched so many people apply, and finally a smile appeared on his face. With so many people applying, he could pick out dozens or even hundreds of qualified soldiers, and it wouldn't take long to get his own thousand soldiers. The military expansion plan can be completed.
