Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed. Indeed, when it comes to Jingkou, almost everyone's eyes shine. After all, it is their own home, with their closest relatives. Even outsiders like Zhu Lingshi and Shen Tianzi, as Beifu A member of the army, Jingkou is also their home in their hearts, and has almost as important a status as their own hometown.

Amidst the laughter, Liu Yu turned his head to look at Tan Shao: "Ah Shao, you have been stationed in Guangling for many years. Now most of your troops in the headquarters are infected with the epidemic and cannot return to fight for the time being. In Guangling, the former headquarters of the Beifu Army, there are Is there a way to recruit soldiers and horses?"

Tan Shao hooked the corners of his mouth, and a look of embarrassment flashed across his face: "Brother Jinu, you took office in Beifu and moved the Beifu army camp to Jingkou. Guangling is no longer an important military base. The big camp where they were stationed had also been abandoned for many years. When Xuan Shuai first established the army, he had set aside a lot of land near Guangling for Liu Laozhi, Tian Luo and others who went south from Huaibei to join the army. Families lived there, and when Guangling was the most prosperous, there were more than ten thousand such families who went south.”

Liu Yu frowned slightly: "However, when I visited Guangling a few years ago, most of these lands were abandoned. The few people have returned to the cottage in Huaibei, right?"

Tan Shao nodded: "That's right. Those Huaibei sergeants were originally in the war-torn borderlands, struggling to survive. During the Battle of Feishui, they felt that the Northern Expedition was hopeless, so they followed a refugee commander like Brother A Shou, Many people in the Southward Convoy also abandoned the old Shanzhaiwubao at that time, thinking that they would either be able to fight back to their hometown in the north and return home with honor, or they could take root in the south and avoid the suffering of war from then on. Jin has a national policy, and these northern refugees are not allowed to cross the river to be resettled, unless they have made meritorious service in the army."

Huan Xuan sighed: "This is an extreme manifestation of the selfishness of the aristocratic families in the south. We launched the Northern Expedition ourselves. How can we make any achievements? In fact, we want to use this excuse to avoid the reappearance of Qie Jian, Zu Ti. That kind of northern refugee commander who led a crowd to the south came to threaten our position, and let those refugees who went south to stay in the north to fend for themselves, as an outpost defense against the barbarians, that is what they want to see."

Tan Shao said bitterly: "Yes, if it wasn't for the battle of Feishui that year, Xuan Shuai and the others recruited troops on a large scale to form Liu Laozhi, I am afraid that our Tan family and countless northern families have never seen it in this life. Dajiang's opportunity. However, after the Battle of Feishui, the Northern Expedition failed, and the Great Jin fell into internal strife. , Most people don’t want to stay in Liu Yu forever, but simply cross the river and go to the land of Bawu.”

"Especially after Brother Ah Shou was later reinstated as the commander, many of his subordinates went to the south of the Yangtze River with him, and in the name of attacking the Taoism of Heavenly Masters, they defended themselves in the local enclosure, because at that time there were many unowned lands, which were Those officers and men saw it and took it away as their own property.”

"It's just that they didn't have good luck for a long time. After Brother A Shou fell from power, the families of the soldiers lost their backing. After Xu Bei came to power to usurp the throne, he used the excuse of Brother A Shou to rebel and killed many brothers who had followed Xu Beihong for many years. , or some charges of treason, the whole family was imprisoned, the sergeant himself was forced to join the army, and the family members were reduced to farmers and tenants, and they were taken into the manors of Jingzhou tyrants in Wudi and became slaves.”

Huan Xuan nodded: "Yes, at that time, Xu Bei forced 20,000 to 30,000 old brothers from Liu Laozhi to become his slaves for him to drive. During their Jianyi War, most of those brothers defected and rejoined us. Later, many of them went to Jingzhou and Jiangzhou to take root and settle down, because the land in Wudi was going to be taken away by Guangling, and even if Xu Bei was overthrown later, those places were also relied on by the aristocratic families in Jiankang City With the original land deeds taken back, it can be said that many of them have lost their fundamental land, just like the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Daogui in Jingzhou later, most of them are old brothers in Wudi."

Tan Shao nodded: "The soldiers followed the Beifu army, but their family members were resettled in the Liuyu area. After what happened before, do they still have much interest in going to Jiangnan, Jingkou and Jiankang? , they can settle down in Liuyu, and go back to Huaibei Xinshanzhai anytime they have nothing to do, they think it’s good.”

Huan Xuan looked at Tan Shao and said, "Then how many soldiers can be recruited in Liu Yu's area now?"

"It is also impossible for the Beifu Army to enlist them all to serve in the army. They are probably only the ones who have been sent to the army. This kind of family, together with some households who have joined the Taoism of the Heavenly Master who were pardoned later, and those who came to vote in troubled times. There are more than a thousand households in total. Xu Beihong and Brother Tieniu manage those people at the same time, and Brother Xile also likes them, recruiting many soldiers from there every year. If I go back to recruit soldiers now and the conditions are right, It should be able to pull out 7,000 troops, and I dare not say more." Tan Shao smiled slightly: "Yes, so many years have passed, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The old brothers who joined the army with us back then have long since They can no longer go to battle to kill thieves, but many of their nephews have grown up. Taoist regulations to go to Jingzhou confiscate the land property of Huan's party according to the national law, and distribute it to the soldiers of Beifu to make up for their losses in Wu. In addition, Xi Le also has many people like that. Those brothers wandered for many years in the troubled times, and finally had a stable family business, and they didn't want to move around anymore, so they ended up going to Jingzhou instead. And Yuzhou, and Jiangzhou are more, and they have also taken root here.”

Tan Shao sternly said: "Most of the veterans and military families are no longer in Xu Bei, and even the Jiangbei camp is mostly abandoned, because the Jiangbei government has been transferred to Pengcheng early, even if it is to recruit new troops, it is the Changmin There are more people there. There is only one team that is not considered permanent in Liu Yu. This is not when Brother Jingxuan went to Nanyan, he and Gao Yazhi’s old troops led them back to the cottage in Huaibei to take refuge. Here, the old business has been resumed.”

Huan Xuan laughed: "I forgot about the soldiers and horses, they are Huaibei's elite who stand above the gate of the country, but didn't they follow Ah Shou later and have been fighting all the time?"

Zhu Lingshi sighed: "It's just that this time the demons rebelled, those who settled in Jingnan, and the old brothers from Beifu in Jiangzhou, many of them suffered again, and I don't know how many of them are still alive."
