Chapter 223: Military appearance and prosperity

As the Yellow Turban Rebellion subsided, the dying man once again fell into a power struggle. But all this had nothing to do with Huangfu Jian. He had led his troops south and returned to Luoyang. In his opinion, in the troubled times, everything is false, and only strength can determine everything.

After the chaos, great governance was normal, but some people in power in the Han Dynasty did not think so. They were dreaming of a great country in the Celestial Empire, and they also started to sell their titles and titles.

In October, under the powerful force of Zhenxi Army, Xu Huang was granted the title of Sili Captain, and Zhou Yi gave the title of He Nanyin to finally come down. With the issuance of these two edicts, the Luoyang area was also legitimately included in Huangfu Jian's bag.

During this period, Huangfu Jian put on the ground more than once and asked the Han Dynasty's court to move to Luoyang again, but was rejected again and again. Huangfu Jian's power is too great now. Under the control of the Zhenxi Army, those powerful ministers from Guandong, the royal relatives of Liu, and the relatives led by He Jin did not want to see Huangfu Jian control the center again, so they all tried their best to react, and even Guan Zhongshicuo also opposed it.

Amid the opposition, Emperor Ling of Han, who was plagued by illness, had to compromise and change Luoyang City to Zhongdu. The capital of the Han Dynasty was still set in Yecheng, and Yecheng officially became the capital of the Han Dynasty.

This result was exactly the same as Huangfu Jian's wishes. He just didn't want to make the people honest, so he made a statement again and again. After learning about this result, Huangfu Jian breathed a sigh of relief. He could give it without stopping. After ordering people to send a batch of fine wine and property, he stopped asking about the matter and began to concentrate on taking care of his one-acre and three-point land.

The biggest gain was not the mountain of money in Wanjin Hall, nor the treasures he passed down from generation to generation in the imperial city, but the large number of craftsmen and students stranded in Luoyang City.

When Emperor Han first fled, these craftsmen and students stayed in Luoyang. Zhang Jiao controlled Luoyang, and they had no chance to escape. After Huangfu Jian took control of Luoyang, the universities in Luoyang City began to resume classes. Some students entered the university and most of them were recruited by Huangfu Jian and became local officials. The large martial arts workshop in Luoyang also started to operate again, and a large number of craftsmen were reused again.

In mid-October, Luoyang City is the season when peonies bloom, and all government affairs in Luoyang City gradually returned to normal.

At this time, Huangfu Jian generals Jia Xu, Xun You, Zhou Yi, Xu Huang, Huang Zhong, Zhang Yan, Yang Feng, Zhang Baiqi and others gathered at the General's Mansion to discuss the resettlement of the Yellow Turban Army's surrendered soldiers.

Huangfu Jian chose the former Taiwei Mansion in Luoyang. Taiwei was the first of the Three Dukes. Of course, the Taiwei Mansion was also large in scale, magnificent, and had a very wide area. Now there are no three Duke ministers in Luoyang City, and all of them are better.

Huangfu Jian was in the general's mansion, and everyone stood in the left and right sides.

"Your lord, there are more than 180,000 Yellow Turban surrendered soldiers in Luoyang."

Xun You first took the lead and reported to Huangfu Jian.

"So many?" Huangfu Jian was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that he would save so many people in the final move.

"Bocai's Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army surrendered 80,000 soldiers, Peng Tuo's Nanyang Yellow Turban Army surrendered more than 20,000 soldiers surrendered 80,000 soldiers surrendered by Guangzong, and 30,000 soldiers surrendered by Yellow Turban Army in Luoyang City, totaling 210,000. Among them, the Feiyan Camp was formed and selected 22,000 people, and the remaining 188,000 people were left." Xun You said in detail one by one.

"These people are currently settled in Luoyang, but there are too many people. In order to avoid accidents, my subordinates hope that the lord can be resettled early." Henan Yin Zhouyi said immediately.

Although more than 180,000 people were very powerful laborers, they were also a very dangerous bomb, and Zhou Yi had to be careful.

"I will understand Lord Zhou's worries. Today I will gather everyone together to solve the problem of the surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army." Huangfu Jian smiled faintly and said.

"My subordinates believe that these surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army will be the only one who can survive for the rest of their lives and will be considered elite soldiers until the end. It is a pity that they will be disbanded, so it is recommended that the lord keep them." Military advisor Jia Xu thought for a while and said.

"More than 180,000 people, how much military expenditure is required! Although Zhenxi Army is now a big family and a big business, it cannot support so many people." Huangfu Jian shook his head and sighed.

Of course he understood that these surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were all the elite among the elites. But now the Zhenxi Army has 5,000 guards, 23,000 eight tribes, 15,000 dragons, tigers, 15,000 cavalry, and six regular battalions. The total strength has reached 193,000. The financial resources of the Zhenxi Army are already a little tight.

"Based on the current situation of Zhenxi Army, our subordinates suggested that the military farming army be established. The military farming army can be self-sufficient in daily farming, without requiring additional financial subsidies, and can also provide a large amount of combat reserve grain. It can be mobilized urgently during wartime, which is a killing of two birds with one stone." Jia Xu was confident and talked freely.

"This proposal by the military advisor is a great charity! It not only solved the huge problem of surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, but also solved the current problem of food shortage in our army. According to the military advisor's proposal, a military field army was set up under the Zhenxi Army." Huangfu Jian was overjoyed after hearing this.

"In addition to the 188,000 people from Luoyang, there are 60,000 and 70,000 surrendered soldiers from the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang. The subordinates suggest that four military farms be established. Each corps has 60,000 people to clear some of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people." Xun You suggested.

"Okay, as Xun Shishi said, four military farming armies were established, each with a system of 60,000 people. Each 10,000 people were established. One veteran of the personal guard camp and eight tribes was drawn as the leader, and no chief general was appointed." Huangfu Jian thought for a while and said. He had established a way to check and balance each other. He did not want his subordinates to lose control.

"One of the four military farms is located in Nanyang, one is located in Luoyang, one is located in Guanzhong Plain, and the other is located in Lian County, Beidi (now near Yinchuan)." Huangfu Jian said with a finger on the map.

These were four famous places suitable for farming at that time. With these four military farming troops, the military rations of Zhenxi Army were greatly guaranteed.

"The military advisors, Xun You and Zhang Baiqi will be responsible for handling the matters of the military farm."

"No!" the three answered.

"Yang Feng, how well your injuries are?" Huangfu Jian put down a big burden after he solved the surrendered soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. Then he looked at Yang Feng and asked.

"Report to the lord, the general is fine." Yang Feng replied.

"It's fine, just serve as the deputy commander of Feiyan Camp. Remember, now there are only the Zhenxi Army and no Yellow Turban Army." Huangfu Jian said again.

"Thank you, lord, I understand!" Yang Feng turned around and thanked him.

"Zhang Yan, you replace Pang De as the commander of the personal guard camp." Huangfu Jian looked at Zhang Yan who was silent and said.

"No!" Zhang Yan heard this and hurriedly thanked him.

In the following days, the Zhenxi Army was busy again and the military farm began to form. Huangfu Jian's personal guard camp had to be replenished again, and he still selected orphans who had been trained since childhood from the Pegasus Ranch and filled up the 5,000 staff.

At this point, the eight guards, three cavalry, six battalions and four treasuries under the Zhenxi Army were officially established, with a total force of 433,000 people. It also excludes the 30,000 ghost cavalry commanded by Hua Xiong, Huangfu Li, Fu Xie, Putou, and Tuobafeng, who were cruising on the grassland.
