Valley Emperor

For officials in the Ming Dynasty, they had a lot of scruples about surrendering to the Tang Dynasty. This is not only the traditional loyalty to the emperor that binds them on the moral level, but more importantly, once they surrender to the thief, their family will be Teachers and friends will be implicated.

This situation is especially obvious among civilian officials. So far, although there are many senior officials of the Ming army, even Zhong Guangjun, who have commanded the Tang Dynasty to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, they all have one thing in common, that is, they Most are warriors.

And the civil servants, especially the civil servants who were born in the eight classics, are only a very few, and they are only limited to middle and low-level officials.

There are some prisoners, but most of these people are stinky and tough old stubborn, although they are afraid of death, they dare not commit suicide, but they still have no courage to throw thieves.

If Li Xuan forced them to go anyway with a knife and gun, it would be fine, but this is not necessary. Since Li Xuan does not pay much attention to their ability to be an official, and at the same time, their official position is low, and they have no important political influence. So it doesn't make much sense to force them to surrender.

But if it is a senior civil servant like the governor or even the governor of a province, I am afraid that Li Xuan will try his best to make them surrender, and coercion and inducement will be used.

It is a pity that so far, the Tang Dynasty has still not been able to capture such high-level officials, and several corpses have been harvested, but the corpses are not used for birds.

It’s not easy to be demoted, but ordinary soldiers are much easier to do. Anyway, for these ordinary soldiers, they are all soldiers and food. Working for the Zhu Family Dynasty is hard work, and it is also hard work for the Li Family Dynasty!

And a very important point is that they are guards, and guards are basically field soldiers, which means that their families are all in Guizhou or the Guangdong and Guangxi areas. If you cast thieves, you don't have to worry about your family being persecuted by the Ming Dynasty.

Even if the families of these soldiers are still in the control area of ​​the Ming Dynasty, the safety of their families can be guaranteed. Even if the Ming Dynasty is going crazy, it is impossible to say that they have slaughtered the families of these soldiers who cast thieves. 10,000 people, but more than 100,000 or more.

Besides, the Ming Dynasty also had no way to judge who was killed and who was the thief!

In addition to the above two conditions, the temptation given by the pseudo-Tang thief army is too great. I promise that as long as I join the garrison and serve for the Tang Dynasty, I will guarantee three meals a day, and at least two meals will be dry meals. Although It is still coarse grains, but it can definitely fill the stomach.

At the same time, there are also salaries that can be taken. Although the salaries are not much, they can also subsidize the family a little bit!

In addition, it is said that if you have skills such as cavalry, gunner, archer, sword and shield, etc., and after selection, you can join the regular army of the King of the Tang Dynasty, and the treatment of the regular army of the Tang Dynasty is nothing to say. .

There are only two words for food: be full! As long as you can eat whatever you want, and it's still good white rice, you can still eat meat and teeth every three or five days.

This meal alone is enough to make countless Ming soldiers drool. The standard of this meal is beyond the average level of contemporary small landlords!

In other words, even the small landowners in the countryside don't eat as well as the regular soldiers of the King's Division of the Tang Dynasty.

For these food standards, these Ming army soldiers expressed only one word: service!

Even when the officials in the Ming Dynasty heard about the food standards of the pseudo-Tang bandit army, most of them thought that the pseudo-Tang bandit army was bragging. A few knew it was true, but they were also puzzled that the brains of the pseudo-Tang bandit army were all bragging. It's funny, why do you want to feed those soldiers so well? Just give something to eat without starving to death. If you sell these many grains, it will be good for the big guys to share the money!

But no one wonders where the Tang Dynasty got so much food. It's not easy, it's all stolen from the Ming army!

During the first battle in Wuzhou, the seized grain was piled up in several large warehouses, enough for the current-scale Datang Master to open his stomach to eat. As for what to do after eating, continue to grab it, anyway, don't expect the Datang Dynasty itself The land can produce so much food.

What to do if you can't get it! If you are hungry, what else can you do? Could it be that you still want food to fall from the sky!

In short, eat if you have food, grab if you don’t have food, and endure if you can’t grab it!

In addition to food, you can also divide the land when you join the regular army. You don’t have to do anything. As long as you can join the regular army, you can immediately get a share of the land. Well, as long as the Tang Dynasty does not fall, this land will always be yours. You can pass it on. To future generations, it will never be taken back.

Li Xuan's words count, and he will give you points when he says he will give you a share of the land!

What kind of person is Li Xuan? He is the sage of the ancients. You have no jokes, saying that if you divide the land, you will divide the land. He will never do the thing that the front and the back will be nationalized. He still wants this kind of face.

But if the Ming Dynasty came over and the field was taken back by the Ming Dynasty, there would be no way!

The combination of high-standard meals and land-sharing policies is extremely lethal these days!

Not to mention that it was very attractive to the descendants of the Ming army, the children of those poor families were also eager to sign up for the army.

Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty had gone through several wars, and the casualties were not too small, but the reason why it was able to maintain the replenishment of the existing troops and continue to expand the new troops was because there were so many people who came to serve as soldiers!

That is to say, the regular army has relatively high requirements on the quality of soldiers. If the requirements are lowered, the source of recruits in the Datang Dynasty can increase several times on the existing basis.

Therefore, the recruitment and surrender of the 20,000 surrendered soldiers in Wuzhou went very smoothly. I dare not say all of them. However, more than half of the surrendered soldiers expressed their willingness to join the Great Tang King Division and be loyal to the great and glorious emperor Li Xuan. , from these people will select some elites to join the regular army.

The remaining part was a little hesitant at first, but after hearing that he would have to go to mine and repair the city without joining Datang Wang Shi, some people were willing to say that their previous decision was wrong, and they were unwilling to join. The king of the Tang Dynasty.

There are still a few people left who would rather work as coolies than go to the battlefield. Don’t force these people too much. Just arrange for them to go mining and work as coolies. Anyway, the Ministry of Work of the Tang Dynasty has a demand for free labor. great.

After such a tossing, the troops of the existing garrison brigades have been supplemented, and the troops of the new sixth garrison brigade and the seventh garrison brigade have also been added, and they have even increased by almost 2,000 people.

Finally, there was a garrison group temporarily.

And when Li Xuan was tossing Wuzhou City in the rear, tossing down officials and soldiers, a new round of war started in Guilin Mansion.

Although the Fourth Army has not yet reached Guilin, the first temporary regiment has also been supplemented by a batch of equipment and soldiers. Although the current temporary first regiment is not as strong as the regular army infantry regiment, it can be regarded as It is powerful, and it also has a bowl-mouth cannon, a small group of cavalry.

By accepting the descendants of the Ming army along the way, and adding some new recruits to them from the Department of Operations, the first regiment now has two reserve battalions, three garrison battalions, one artillery team and one cavalry battalion. The troop, the 1st battalion of baggage, and other chaotic auxiliary troops were piled up, with a total strength of about 3,000 people.

Although it is still too difficult to win Guilin City with this amount of troops, the first regiment has successfully swept away the other prefectures and counties in Guilin Prefecture, especially many in the west and south.

Therefore, when the Fourth Army went north, it was astonishing that no Ming army had encountered it, but it had encountered some local robbery camps.

In Guilin Prefecture, the establishment of the robbery camp is naturally established like other places, but the scale of the robbery camp in the Tang Dynasty has been greatly reduced compared to the past.

Because of the enormous pressure on military expenditure, and with the garrison army acting as an auxiliary force, there is no need for the robbery battalion to participate in the second-line combat, so excluding important areas, other ordinary places have greatly reduced the size of the robbery battalion!

According to the negotiation between the Patrol Department, the Ministry of War, the Privy Council and other departments of the Tang Dynasty, it is already stipulated that the county should set up a robbery team and the government should set up a burglary camp, a large county should set up a brigade, a small county should set up a small team, a big government should set up a big camp, and a small government should set up a small town. Based on the principle of battalion, we have vigorously reduced the scale of the robbery battalion.

Nowadays, basically an ordinary county has only 100 robbery teams. If it is a county with a large population, it will be increased to 150 accordingly. If it is a strategically important area, the coordinating government will dispatch a number of robbery camps. The team was deployed to guard the county, and the population of the small county was further reduced to 80 or even 50 people.

If it is the county where the prefecture is located, it means that the county does not have a robbery team, and the prefectural robbery camp directly supervises the county’s public security. In an ordinary prefecture, the standard number of the robbery camp is an rated 350 people~www.wuxiaspot .com~ is the size of three teams.

If it is a special area such as a large population, a large commercial city, or a strategically important area, one or two teams will be added as appropriate, but in principle, the size of the five teams will not be exceeded.

If it is a small mansion, it will be reduced by one more team and governed by two teams.

After such a downsizing, the scale of the robbery battalion was successfully controlled, making Go truly become a local security force without causing too much pressure on military expenditures.

Although the establishment of the robbery camp has been reduced, it is still enough to control the area, because many counties have only a total of tens of thousands of people these days, and the county seat usually has only a few thousand people.

Not only has the size of the burglary battalion been reduced, but as the control area of ​​the Tang Dynasty gradually increased, another armed force of the Tang Dynasty: the tax inspection team. Its establishment has also begun to become smaller. In the past, there may be hundreds of people in a county, but although this situation still exists, it is basically limited to the newly occupied areas.

Under normal circumstances, the newly occupied areas need a strong tax inspection team to carry out strong tax collection because of the endless tax resistance incidents.

When the Tang Dynasty has more complete control over the occupied areas, the size of the tax inspection team will generally begin to decrease. Of course, the number of people is naturally not reduced, but transferred to other newly occupied areas, and the scumbags of the tax inspection team They are also extremely welcome this way, because in this way, they can go from a place that has been cleaned up to a place that has not been searched, what does that mean? Represents oil and water!

Therefore, the tax inspection team's battle has always been closely following the pace of the Datang Army. They can proudly say: We are fighting side by side with the Army, and we have never backed down!
