For these refugees, Liu Wei and others divided them into several levels, young men with the ability to work, were placed separately, each of them was issued a red wooden card, with this wooden card, you can receive meals in their special cauldron, three meals a day, one dry and two thin, in addition to the vegetable cake supplement, these people's meals are relatively sufficient, can ensure their physical fitness, let them do some heavy work in the earthen enclosure, or receive military training, if necessary, but also help maintain order, Bullet crushed the commotion in the earthen fence.

As for those who have a slightly weaker labor force but have a certain amount of craftsmanship, such as carpenters, blacksmiths, or can raise horses, tailors, etc., they will receive a black wooden card, and the quality of food is slightly inferior to that of the red card.

The third class is some women or old people who have a certain amount of labor, and are given yellow wooden cards, these people are responsible for taking care of some stoves, or washing and cooking, or sewing and mending, doing some labor within their ability, and they have two meals a day, one dry and one thin, and the quality of food is slightly inferior to the black card.

The fourth class is some people who are basically very weak in labor, which does not include children and teenagers, but mostly some old and weak, these people basically do not need to work, of course, the quality of food is also the worst, two meals a day, are thin, and the food is limited to almost enough to sustain their lives and provide basic caloric supply, so as not to starve to death.

Of course, there is also a kind of teenagers and children, both men and women, as long as they are over three years old, are concentrated in the cleanest and neatest nest, these children after entering the earthen enclosure, they will be handed over to some special personnel to manage and raise, everyone will be required to wash first, will also be given new clothes to wear, the food is the best, two dry rice and one porridge, or three thick rice porridge with cakes, and even a little meat, it can be said that the treatment is very good.

These poor children, most of them are from poor families, and they have never eaten so well in their lives, such a quality of food, even those strong laborers feel a little jealous, and they can't figure out why this Liu Dashan people are so good to these children, obviously they can't work, but why do they have to give them such good food, some people who have no children will inevitably have some slander.

But Liu Wei didn't care about these people's discussions, and did as required by the headquarters, although this cut off the connection between them and their parents, but those refugees saw that their children could get such good care, such good food, and even people were teaching them to read, and they didn't dare to complain anything in their hearts except gratitude, after all, they couldn't give these children such good care with them, and they were very grateful to Liu Dashanren.

At first, some people were worried that these children would be completely taken away from them, but Liu Dashan assured them that as long as the winter passed, they would be transported to southern Fujian for resettlement, and when their conditions were better, the children would be returned to them and raised by themselves, which appeased these refugees.

In short, in this Xishan Village, there are many people under Master Liu, who seem to be very good at doing these things, although thousands of people are crammed into the soil enclosure in a short time, but these people manage these thousands of refugees in an orderly manner, which makes people have to admire.

But as time passed, news came from Dengzhou, and after the rebels recuperated in Dengzhou City for a while, they finally began to act again, Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng sent many subordinates, led some non-core rebel members, and began to go to the surrounding counties, attacking the county and large villages, and looting property and food to meet their needs.

The rebels also knew that although they had obtained a batch of grain in Dengzhou City, this batch of grain was not too much, and it was far from enough to feed them so many rebels, at most it could support them for two or three months, but this time they made such a big fuss that it would definitely not be able to be solved in a short time.

So Kong Youde and other rebel generals began to play another idea, one is to continue to attack the four raids and raise more food, and the other is to lay more territory and obtain bigger hole cards, so that once the court appeases them in the future, they can also have more room for bargaining.

As a result, the situation in Denglai and other places and the entire northern part of Shandong became tense again, which made Liu Wei also start to worry a little again, and strengthened the defense force of Xishan Village and Yangma Island.

He drew hundreds of young and strong men from among the refugees in Tuweizi, began to train them, and trained two companies of village warriors and distributed weapons to them. Among these villagers, a few of them used to be hunters, had some kung fu at hand, and could use bows, and were considered good at shooting, so they were promoted and became foot archers, and were given strong bows and hard swords, so that they had strong combat effectiveness.

In addition, among these refugees, it can be regarded as a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, which is mixed with more than a dozen former Shandong soldiers, some of these Shandong soldiers are deserters, and some of them ran out of Dengzhou, these people did not want to join the rebels, so they mixed into the refugees, ran here, and mixed into Tuweizi, but they were soon found out by Liu Wei's men.

These people were kept in solitary custody and interrogated carefully, not to mention that they found out the details of the two rebels from Zhongzhen, and directly killed and threw them out of the earthen fence.

The rest of the Shandong soldiers, it was not a big problem, they said that they had no malice, they just didn't want to join the rebels, but they had nowhere to go, so they ran here in a daze, but the county town was not allowed to enter, and they had nothing to confirm their identity, so they became refugees, and in order to survive, they mixed into Tuweizi.

Now they are all alone, and their families are either trapped in Dengzhou City, or they are single, and they can't go anywhere, so they can only stay and follow Liu Wei.

Among these people, a few of them were from cavalry, although they were a little older, but their bodies were not bad, and after being taken out to try them, they found that they really had a bit of kung fu and riding skills, so they were left behind and temporarily incorporated into the scouts.

Liu Wei also got dozens of horses in this area, took out some of the horses that could be used as war horses, and handed them over to the scout team for use, and the rest were used as horses, and built more than a dozen carts, preparing to turn around and form a transport team to go outside for activities or purchase things.

During this time, he often sent two or three classes of men, with dozens of strong villagers, to go out and walk around, sheltering hungry children and some young women on the side of the road, as long as they were not dead, feeding them a few mouthfuls of food, pouring some hot water, and they could almost be rescued, and then pulled back to the earthen enclosure in a cart.

In doing so, they have also picked up a lot of people, and now they are sent out for a walk around the neighborhood almost every day, and when they are lucky, they can pick up dozens of young women or children in a day, which is also a good harvest.

Just when the Dengzhou rebels began to attack and plunder the city again, and Liu Wei was worried about this matter all day, one day in early February, someone suddenly rushed back to Xishan Village and gave him a good news, saying that a team of about 500 people appeared in the southeast of Muping County, about 30 miles away from the county seat, and was inquiring about the location of Xishan Village, and was coming towards this side.

It happened that Liu Wei sent a team to the village of a trafficker over there to pick up a hundred and ten young women, and when he accidentally heard the news, he was scared enough, thinking that a group of strongmen were eyeing Xishan Village, and wanted to come to Xishan Village to fight the autumn breeze, so he quickly asked two scouts on horseback to investigate.

As a result, after the two scouts went over to observe for a while, they immediately found that this team was not a group of strongmen, but their sea wolf's men, this group of people was more than ten days ago, because the sea area of Shidao Bay was frozen by sea ice, and they were idle, and they were ordered to withdraw from Shidao Bay and come to Muping County, Ninghai Prefecture to reinforce Liu Wei's two companies.

Along the way, these people did not go fast because they carried dozens of carts, loaded with all kinds of food and ammunition, and were attacked by nearly ten groups of horse thieves along the way, these horse thieves stared at the goods and grain they were carrying on these carts, and tried to rob and kill them, but they were all repulsed, killed many horse thieves, and captured dozens of horses.

So they walked for more than ten days before they reached the territory of Muping County, but they didn't know the specific location of Xishan Village, so when they arrived here, they sent people to inquire about the road along the way, and they happened to meet the team of people sent by Liu Wei to buy women, so they walked towards Xishan Village together.

A scout came back first to report the news, Liu Wei almost laughed when he heard it, he was worried that there were not enough manpower, and at this time the lord sent him two companies, it is said that there is another company, and then he will rush over, this time he doesn't have to worry about anything.

Although so many people are coming, it will definitely attract the attention of the Haining Prefecture government, and may even make them have some suspicions, but now that the army is in chaos, even if the Haining Prefecture government is suspicious, it is estimated that they will not dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to find him trouble.

So now he doesn't care about too much else, let's strengthen his strength first, otherwise everything will be empty, as long as he can stand here, even if the Ninghai Prefecture government is unhappy, there is no way to take him, as long as he doesn't mess around, the officials don't want to provoke people like him.

So he quickly cleaned up and walked out of Xishan Village, and before dark, a large convoy of people and horses appeared on the road east of Xishan Village, and Liu Wei was together.
