Not long after Yang Chendong left, Hara Ruochu also left the Tatar military camp. He was accompanied by nearly a thousand Tatar cavalry. About 200 of them had received the favor of Lord Agadorji, and they had repaid the favor by following him. The rest did not want to join the Han Chinese army, or some were simply tired of war.

For these people, Su He did what he said, and did not embarrass them, but generously allowed them to take their horses and weapons away from the barracks. But if one day these people can't get along and want to come back, then everything will start again and re-evaluate.

A day later, Su He joined the mercenaries with about 6,000 Tatar cavalry. At this point, the war came to an end. 45,000 Tatar cavalry, after several bloody battles, killed 8,000 people, nearly 20,000 wounded, nearly 7,000 people fled before and after, and finally more than 10,000 people were captured and surrendered.

On the other hand, the number of mercenaries who were killed in battle and who could not return to the army after being seriously wounded was about 2,500. There were still more than 2,000 lightly wounded soldiers, and these costs in exchange for such a victory could be called a big victory no matter how you look at it.

Yang Chendong did not lose his words, and allowed the four regiments under the lost soldiers to re-replenish the source of troops from the captured soldiers and the soldiers who surrendered to Cheng, and after doing this, he selected some elite soldiers from the remaining Tatar cavalry to form a Tatar cavalry regiment, the commander of which was Su He, and the number was the same as the Jurchen cavalry regiment, tentatively 3,000 people. As for the remaining soldiers, they were incorporated into the newly expanded logistics regiment as a supplement to the troops.

Shijo.

In the past few days, news of the great battle outside has been pouring into the city, and the biggest change is that almost every day you can see captured Tatar cavalry, as well as wounded Tatar cavalry sent into the city. And every time they appear, it will also attract bursts of discussion from the people in the city.

Although the number of mercenaries is not very certain as the number of people in the city, the number of about 10,000 or less than 20,000 is still clear. With less than 20,000 against 45,000 elite Tatar cavalry, to be honest, many people were still a little worried at first.

After all, there are too many differences in strength, and even if some people have seen the training methods of mercenaries, they still don't think that it will be easy for them to win. But just when most people were not optimistic about them, the good news was sent into the city again and again, and under the intention of publicity, the more than 10,000 people in the city could clearly know the battle situation ahead, and how many mercenaries had won in each battle.

Seeing that the battle was won, the people in the city were also inspired, and they became more confident in the mercenaries and more determined to live in the city. Of course, there are two sides to everything, some people are happy and some people are not, such as some grassland youths in the city who originally wanted to join the army and join the mercenaries.

I thought that if the front line was tight, they would have the opportunity to quickly rise to the top and take a special channel to become a member of the mercenary army. But when the news of the good news from the front side was frequent, especially when a large number of prisoners and wounded were sent into the city and crossed the street in front of them, they could not help but start to worry in their hearts.

With so many captives, will mercenaries still choose to conscript? Do they still have a chance to join the army and create a better future?

In the midst of such fears, greater good news came. Agadorji fled, the Tatar army was defeated, and General Suhe finally chose to surrender and join the mercenaries, and the city was safe.

It's safe, when the news reached the city, it attracted many people to the streets to celebrate, and it was indeed the only ones who wanted to join the army. They are afraid that they have no hope, and after learning about the treatment of mercenary soldiers, what they want most is to join this army, serve for it and earn a better tomorrow for themselves. And after discussion, they gathered together and privately decided that when the god of war returned from the front line, they would jointly ask for orders, ask to join the mercenary, and ask the god of war to give them an explanation and a chance.

Because of the large number of people, it was impossible to hide such a thing from the members of the city's security bureau. At first, I thought something big was going to happen, but when I learned about it, I couldn't laugh or cry one by one, and finally reported the matter to Feng Liang, the director of the Shicheng Security Bureau and the director of intelligence information in this area of the grassland.

Feng Liang, one of the old men of the Security Bureau. When it was first formed, it was favored by Director Yang San and transferred to his command. Facts have also proved that Director Yang San's gaze is still very accurate, Feng Liang has withstood strict training and training, and after becoming a full member, he has performed excellently, completed several difficult tasks in a row, and finally became the marquis of the party and the person in charge of the security bureau in the grassland.

This time, when the first city was first built, it naturally needed some elite soldiers to come and assist, so Feng Liang came here again and was responsible for the intelligence and security work in the city. He also spent a lot of time walking through the streets and alleys of Shicheng, and knew the situation and terrain of the city well.

Thanks to Feng Liang's efforts, the city's security bureau was successfully established, with members scattered throughout the city to ensure that any disturbance would not escape their eyes. This time, so many young and middle-aged grassland men suddenly gathered together, how could they escape his ears and eyes.

hurriedly sent someone to inquire and understand the situation, and finally got such a result, which made him feel that he didn't know what to say.

It is said that young men want to join the army, which is originally a good thing, at least it proves that the army is popular, and I don't know how many forces and the army want to see this. But mercenaries pay attention to taking the elite route of strengthening the army. The sixth young master himself said that he didn't ask for how many mercenaries there were, he just needed to have enough combat effectiveness. Only in this way will the treatment of military personnel be higher, and they will be more flexible and mobile in the fight against war, so that the pressure on logistical support will be much smaller.

The elite route of strengthening the army has proved its feasibility with facts. Since the establishment of the mercenary army, which time has it not won more with less? It is also because the number of troops is not very large, so they are more flexible and mobile when they start fighting.

Feng Liang, who knew this policy very well, could not only understand the mood of these young and middle-aged grassland men, but also feel the benefits of the Sixth Young Master's doing this, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

Now that he knew what the requirements of these young adults were, of course there was no need for them to go to see the Sixth Young Master, and he could solve this kind of trivial matter. "In this way, I will choose a few representatives among these young people who want to join the army, and I will meet them individually."

After some consideration, Feng Liang thought of a solution, that is, to adopt the method of militia reserve to solve the problem in front of him. In this way, they do not need to occupy the quota and resources of the mercenaries, but they can also be regarded as joining the mercenaries, which should be the best of both worlds, and all they need is to pay a certain amount of silver taels every month. In order to build an intelligence network, the last thing the Security Bureau lacks is silver taels, and they can still solve this bit of silver.

Feng Liang made a decision, and even somewhat imitated the model of establishing a militia and reserve in Chiji City. This solution really worked, and after meeting the representatives in private, the two sides reached an agreement to allow these men to enter the ranks of the Shicheng militia, but if they had the opportunity to pass the examination, they could enter the regular front-line combat units. Before that, what they need to do is to take charge of the security in the city, and if they find any suspicious people, they can keep an eye on them, and if necessary, they can notify the army in the city, and cooperate with them to defeat the enemy. After doing so, they can not only get a reasonable name for law enforcement, but more importantly, they can also get some silver money every month, tentatively two taels of silver a month, and there will be additional rewards for meritorious service.

Two taels of silver is naturally nothing in front of regular mercenaries, but for ordinary people, it is already an income, and both parties are very satisfied at the moment. A gathering incident that needed to trouble Yang Chendong had already been declared over before it happened. And what is even more unexpected is that it didn't take long for these grassland men who were persuaded by Feng Liang to enter the militia sequence to really make great contributions.

Yang Chendong, who had returned to the city safely, didn't know about what Feng Liang had done in private, but afterwards these things would form a secret document and send it to him for inspection, but no one knew if he would value it.

For example, the current Yang Chendong did not pay attention to the things reported by Feng Liang, but focused on the area east of Shicheng. The scouts had already sent back the news that the third division of Leng Feng was already on the way to transport the goods from Chichicheng that had just been received from Haizhen, and there were still two days left at most before they could rush back to Shicheng City.

The previous battle was just for the sake of standing and gaining a firm foothold, but now it seems that everything is going very well. After the first battle, he not only played his own prestige, but also strengthened the army.

This also gave Yang Chendong more confidence, whether it was defending the city or playing out, he also had more choices.

But if you want to conquer a place, war is only one of the means, and there is another important means, and that is economic occupation. As long as you grasp the economy of a place, it is equivalent to mastering their arteries, and the influence will be more far-reaching and the self can be more powerful.

The batch of materials transported by the third division of Leng Feng, among which there are many commodities, and they are also hard currency, which is also a good opportunity to strengthen the economic strength of Shicheng again, which is also something that Yang Chendong values very much in his heart. Therefore, on the morning of the third day, when Leng Feng's Third Division appeared outside the city with more than 500 carriages in a mighty escort, he personally greeted him, and while saying his hard work, he also listened to the work reports of the division commander Wu Sheng and political commissar Chen Bo.
