Li Jing led 20,000 troops to seize the national army in Yun and Puzhou to sweep away the thieves, with abundant results.

The Ji River is sparkling, and a fleet of thousands of ships of all sizes are full of harvests from the Zhenguo Army. In addition to the huge fleet in the Jishui River, there is also a huge convoy along the avenue on the north bank of the Jishui River. Thousands of large carts, oxen, horses, and donkeys, carrying the backs, are also loaded with various harvest materials.

In addition, the Liangwai Zhenguo Army was also responsible for escorting 130,000 young and strong men and women forward. These 130,000 young and strong men and women will be taken to Liaodong. Before leaving Yunzhou, Li Jing had announced to them that after arriving in Liaodong, they would use a hundred people as a military camp. After joining the military camp, they would be the garrison households and farm for the Zhenguo Army. The Zhenguo Army would give grain according to the annual standard of five stone grain, and there would be two stagnant wages per year.

All the residents can reclaim their own fields after three years of farming in Liaodong. The land they reclaimed will not be charged two taxes for three years. The army of the state only collects one dou of grain per mu, and it is not a big dou but a small dou. A small dou is only five and a half pounds. Based on the yield per mu, one can only be collected by 22. If calculated by 100 pounds per mu, it will be much higher than one for fifteen. After three years, the land belongs to them. Even if two taxes are added, Li Jing promises that the proportion of eleven will not exceed eleven, and no other fees will be charged.

Li Jing also said that as long as they perform well, are willing to work hard, and do not even need to farm for three years, they can become free people in advance and reclaim their own land. The Zhenguo Army and local governments will also provide them with rented seeds, farm tools and livestock.

In short, in front of these people, Li Jing tried his best to paint an excellent prospect. Most of these people were hungry people who had already become hungry refugees, and after suffering disasters, they became hungry refugees, and were finally swept by thieves, or became robbers just for a bite. Many people had already lived in despair and numbness. They had no life today but not tomorrow. This time they were captured by the official army, and they originally thought they would die. However, they did not expect that the Zhenguo Army did not kill them to repay their merits, but instead sent them to Liaodong.

Although Liaodong is a place that is bitter and cold in my impression, it seems to be a Taoyuan outside the world. They don’t have to endure the cold and hungry, and not only can they have food and clothing, but they can even have their own land. Some people don’t believe it, thinking that the Zhenguo Army just wants to take them to work as a coolie in Liaodong. But many people believe it. They have reached this point, how can they be miserable? In Henan, Central Plains, even if they want to join the tyrants as slaves, they only want to eat for a meal. But no one is willing to accept it. What’s more, the reputation of the Zhenguo Army Li Jing has been believed by many people. In the past six months, Dengzhou has long become a place that countless people yearn for.

The experiences these days have also made them gradually believe Li Jing's words. Since entering the private camp, in addition to the first two days of porridge, the subsequent servings were dried rice and cooked cakes. There were even vegetables, shiny vegetables, kelp vegetables, radish strips, salted fish strips, and even meat slices. They have been serving this way for many consecutive days. I heard that the porridge was not for anything else before entering the camp, but for fear that those who were too hungry before would eat too much and would die of suffocation first. Eat porridge first. This is to take care of the body to prevent sudden eating of suffocation.

Now, no one will escape from the tens of thousands of people living in private camps. They eat so well every day and have such a wonderful prospect. Who will escape?

They also started to help with work here, men helped with wheelbarrows, and women made clothes.

Before leaving Yuncheng, 130,000 young and strong men received a set of clothes. It was a complete set of clothes, with shoes, socks and shirts. Although it was in a hurry and was not too fine, when the brand new linen clothes were sent to these people, many people couldn't help but cry excitedly. They really believed that there was a bright future waiting for them.

Time flies, and before departure, we only had time to build more than 10,000 unicycles. These unicycles, one wooden wheel, two handrails, and one shoulder rope. Because they tied the wheels to the ground, the paths can be unobstructed, and are both economical and practical transportation tools that are better than human loads and animal loads. The army of Zhenguo has long used such small cars in large quantities, especially in Liaodong, where roads are difficult to travel, so there are more such cars.

A wheelbarrow can hold at least three stones, and if it is an old trolley, and a puller can even carry heavy objects of seven to eight stones directly.

This time, the Zhenguo Army set out from Yunzhou, and all the supplies were divided into three parts. One was that more than a thousand large ships in the Ji River transported supplies. There were more than a thousand large trucks, and in addition, there were more than one thousand wheelbarrows.

Each of these wheelbarrows carries more than five stones, one person carrying it in the front, one person pulling it in the back, and two people pushing it on the side.

Many young and strong people also took the initiative to carry their shoulders and carry them on their shoulders, and the two of them were striking.

As a result, except for 450,000 stones of grain, tens of thousands of pieces of cloth and the weapons to be sold, the rest of the supplies were brought on the way at one time.

The 20,000 Zhenguo Army escorted 130,000 young and strong men. Rather than escorting, it was actually better to say protection. No one fled, nor would anyone complain about being tired. The 20,000 Zhenguo Army's mission was to be responsible for front and back protection, followed by both sides. A total of 150,000 troops, from the Jishui River to the north bank, the team continued for almost fifty miles. After entering Jeju in a mighty manner, we walked forward.

The sun was already very hot in early June, and the team was walking very hot under the sun. Li Jing was not in a hurry to rush forward. Every day, he set off at dawn. When it was halfway through, he looked for the woods at the foot of the mountain to rest and waited for the sun at noon before leaving.

The Zhenguo Army has entered Jeju for ten days. In ten days, such a huge team has not gone far. Li Wei will come back every day to report the movements of the Cao army. Since Li Jing led his army into Yunzhou, the Cao army has significantly accelerated the speed of advancing eastward. They did not even dare to loot the five counties in Jeju, but hurriedly marched and fled directly into Jeju.

When Li Jing heard this news, he smiled slightly. This was the best result. Although he was not afraid of thieves, Li Jing was really not interested in fighting for that meaningless battle.

However, after entering Jeju these days, Li Jing successfully recovered Yanggu, Dong'a and Lu County on the north bank of the Ji River.

On the tenth day of June, Wang Chong and Li Zhen and others led the Black Flag Army and the Japanese Army, together with the 50,000 young and strong men, to Pingyin City on the south bank of the Ji River. On the same day, Li Jing's huge team also walked to the north bank of the Ji River, across the river from Pingyin City.

On that day, Wang Chong led his army to successfully settle the last unrecovered Changqing City among the five cities of Jeju, which was considered a successful recovery. The entire Jeju was completely recovered!

Afterwards, Li Jing stayed in Jeju for another ten days. During these ten days, Li Jing kept making noises and said that he would attack Qizhou immediately. But in fact, he had been holding his troops and just sent troops to carry out a major mobilization in the five counties of Jeju.

Since the military chaos in Jeju was not very powerful, Li Jing's gains from this sweeping rush were very rich, and the harvests of the two prefectures of Pu and Yun were not much worse. Li Jing even swept through various counties in Jeju again, and finally picked 30,000 young and strong men and 20,000 young women, making Jeju almost empty.

Now, Li Jing has 25,000 soldiers and horses, but he has a total of 230,000 young and strong men, including 100,000 young and strong women and 130,000 young and strong men. The number of young and strong women this time was large, mainly because Li Jing considered that among the refugees recruited some time ago, the proportion of women was very small. The difference in the ratio of men and women was too large, which led to the letter of Lin Wei, who left behind, told him that there are many stable young men in Dengzhou and Liaodong who are eager to get married, but there are too few women, which has led to the marriage bride price becoming more and more expensive, and even two cows cannot marry a wife.

This time, Li Jing got 100,000 young and strong women, almost all unmarried, widowed, or separated from his family. These people can not only be sent to various workshops for work in various industries that are growing in Dengzhou and Liaodong, but also to alleviate the imbalance in the proportion of men and women, so that more men who are suitable for marriage can marry their wives and enhance the stability of the Zhenguo Army.

In Pingyin City, Li Jing and the generals held a banquet and drank.

Within this month, the Zhenguo Army made a big profit, hundreds of thousands of stones of food, millions of stagnant money, and more than 200,000 young and strong people. With such a huge gain, they only paid dozens of casualties during the bandit suppression. Compared with such a large gain, this casualty is simply unreasonable.

Not to mention the money, even the military achievements made by the Zhenguo Army this time were great. They broke the siege of Songzhou and annihilated 100,000 thieves in Wang Xianzhi. This time, they successively recovered the fifteen counties of Pu, Yun and Ji, as well as several counties in Yanzhou. This military achievements were completed by the Zhenguo Army alone. Although the six-town coalition forces of the imperial court defeated Huang Chao more than 100,000 troops, they themselves lost more than 20,000, and beheaded only 80,000.

"Master, how should we march next? Should we wait and see if it changes, or directly enter Qizhou?" Wang Chong asked with a smile.

Li Zhen held the wine glass and chuckled, "I think it's better to sit on the wall and watch it. After Huang Chao and Wang Jingwu gathered, there were as many as 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and 60,000 people, and Huang Chao and Wang Jingwu are not ordinary people. If we push too tightly, they have no way to escape, and they will inevitably be defeated by the death. Why not, station troops here and wait and see what changes!"

Guo Cheng'an said: "I'm afraid that Marshal Song will not be able to sit still. He is the envoy appointed by the court to attack the thief. But now our Zhenguo Army defeated Wang Xianzhi and the six towns defeated Huang Chao again. This makes him very embarrassed to call the envoy. Now that Huang Chao is entering Qizhou, Marshal Song must have wanted to destroy them and restore some momentum."

Li Jing nodded. If he was Song Wei, he would definitely be very unhappy at the moment. He must be eager to fight a war and win back his reputation. Now, it is a good time to fight this battle. However, with Song Wei's military strength, he had not succeeded in fighting Wang Jingwu alone for a year. It would be even more difficult to succeed when he asked him to deal with Wang Jingwu and Huang Chao alone. Therefore, Li Jing guessed that Song Wei would definitely not forget his adopted son. He was likely to let Li Jing send troops to attack the thief with him in the east and west!

If Song Wei mailed him to send troops, should he send troops? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile phone users please read it.)
