    "Empire Hegemony" Chapter 283

    The Qinghe army occupied Lujiang Mansion, quickly restored order in the city, and at the same time ordered the opening of warehouses to release grain to help the poor.

    Chen Ziang and the others were already well-known, and their troops entered the Lujiang Mansion without any crimes.

    The people's eyes are discerning, and what the Qinghe army did was the same as the rumors, so their vigilance has also relaxed.

    In particular, some poor people really received life-saving food from the Qinghe Army, and they did not suffer any difficulties, which further confirmed the good reputation of the Qinghe Army.

    One word spreads to ten, ten spreads to hundreds, not only the people in the city of Lujiang Mansion flocked to the grain depot to receive food, but also the people from the villages and towns near Lujiang Mansion came directly to Lujiang Mansion one after another.

    Under the oppression and exploitation of the admiral and others in the Lujiang Mansion, the people did not have enough food to eat, so they could only use wild vegetables mixed with rice bran to satisfy their hunger.

    Now that they received the food distributed by Chen Ziang and the others, they all wept with joy, expressing their gratitude to Chen Ziang and the others.

    "What a nice guy."

    "The Qinghe Army is the best army in the world. We have never seen one that distributes food to our common people before."

    The behavior of the Qinghe army won the praise of the common people. The common people stopped hiding in the house and walked out of the house one after another. Lujiang mansion regained some popularity.

    While the Qinghe army opened warehouses to release grain, it also opened the doors of the admiral's mansion to try cases. Not only did they hear old cases, but all the people who had grievances could go to seek grievances.

    For a while, the entire Admiral's Mansion was packed to the brim, and the people suffered too much oppression and grievances. At this moment, it was like a flood that opened the gate, pouring out their grievances to the Qinghe Army.

    Although Chen Ziang formed a grievance and trial team, but faced with countless people who came to sue for grievances, the manpower was still stretched.

    Chen Zi'ang's subordinates do not lack strong generals who can charge into battle, but the only thing they lack now are scholars who can read and write.

    Although Chen Ziang and the others are doing things for the people, most of the scholars regard the imperial court as orthodox and are unwilling to condescend to serve the Qinghe Army.

    Now the Civil and Military Association of the Qinghe Army has organized many study classes to teach those soldiers who are willing to learn to read and write, and improve their cultural literacy.

    However, learning is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It takes a long time to learn and accumulate. Although some soldiers can now know a few characters and write their own names, there is still a long way to go before they can truly handle government affairs.

    "General, we really don't have enough manpower, we need manpower urgently."

    Whether it is to receive those people who have filed a grievance, or to measure the land and distribute it to the poor people, they all need to be able to read and write.

    But where did Chen Ziang find so many scholars in a short while, and most of the scholars in this era are from well-to-do families.

    Anyone with a good family background is either from an official family or a wealthy family. They can be regarded as the opposing camp of Chen Ziang and the others. It can be said that it is as difficult as heaven to ask them to help the Qinghe Army.

    As a last resort, Chen Ziang had to promulgate a recruitment order. Anyone who thinks he is talented and capable, no matter what his status is, can go to the Qinghe Army to accept the assessment, and then assign positions to serve the Qinghe Army.

    In order to improve the effect of the recruitment order, Chen Ziang deliberately gave generous remuneration, which was three times that of ordinary officers.

    And as long as they have real talents and can complete the tasks assigned by the Qinghe Army well, there will be additional rewards.

    "Paste the recruitment order to me in all visible places."

    After Chen Ziang personally drafted the recruitment order, he immediately ordered people to post the recruitment order.

    The so-called brave men must be rewarded with great rewards. Many low-level scholars originally wanted to rely on their fame to embark on official careers. After they had no hope, they decided to serve the Qinghe Army.

    But now the court is dominated by corrupt officials, without money to open the way, even talented and capable people, it is difficult to get ahead.

    This has led to the fact that there are many low-level scholars in Lujiang Prefecture who cannot see a way out.

    Now that the Qinghe Army recruits talents with such sincerity, and gives generous rewards, it naturally attracts many low-level scholars.

    As soon as the recruitment order came out, in just two days, more than one hundred scholars passed Chen Ziang's assessment and were immediately appointed.

    After passing the assessment, these people received the remuneration from Chen Ziang in advance, and they also?Full of drive and quickly settled into her role.

    Moreover, most of these people are from Lujiang Mansion, because they are scholars, they also have a little reputation among the common people.

    Now that they are all doing things for the Qinghe Army, they have naturally set a good example.

    Therefore, when the Qinghe Army set up a banner to recruit soldiers in Lujiang Mansion, many young and strong people also came to sign up on their own initiative, willing to become a part of the Qinghe Army.

    Chen Ziang and the others distributed food and land, and recruited soldiers at the same time. Because of their previous experience, everything was in order.

    And with the release of the recruitment order, they have won the support of many low-level scholars.

    In addition to scholars, some artisans who had difficulty supporting their families due to the war also joined the Qinghe Army one after another.

    Chen Zi'ang and the others now have a fighting force in the army, and money and food are not a problem. With the support of money and food, they are always open to talents, and they have attracted a large number of talents in a short time.

    "Establish the Gentlemen's Camp and Craftsman's Camp, which will be under the direct jurisdiction of the Second Legion Department."

    The addition of a large number of scholars and various craftsmen made Chen Ziang's team larger, and at the same time, it was no longer a purely military force.

    Therefore, Chen Ziang additionally announced the establishment of the Junzi Camp and the Craftsman Camp to accommodate scholars and craftsmen.

    These two battalions are directly under the jurisdiction of the Legion Department, in order to strengthen their loyalty to the Qinghe Army.

    Chen Ziang also set up a separate military camp. Anyone who served the Qinghe Army could place their family members in the military camp, be protected by the Qinghe Army, and act with the Qinghe Army.

    As a result, the establishment of their Second Army Corps of the Qinghe Army is rapidly expanding, and many of the people who have been enriched are not people with direct combat effectiveness.

    Li Lang, deputy head of the army, felt that recruiting scholars and craftsmen on such a large scale, and marching with their families would drag down the troops and affect their combat effectiveness.

    Chen Ziang has always followed advice, but this time he did not listen to Li Lang's opinion, but insisted on what he had seen.

    Because he is very clear that if they want to develop and grow, they cannot rely on the army alone. They must absorb all kinds of talents. Only in this way can they be truly strong.

    Chen Ziang was the highest official, and Li Lang's suggestion was rejected. Although he felt that it was inappropriate to do so, he could only implement it resolutely.

    Lujiang Mansion has a large population, Chen Ziang and the others quickly dispatched cavalry troops to sweep the surrounding areas, destroying the imperial power in the villages and towns, and taking control of this area.

    Because they already had previous experience, Chen Ziang and the others were very familiar with everything.

    After purging the power of the imperial court, he quickly appointed left-behind envoys at all levels, recruited veterans, recruited local soldiers, and formed a left-behind army under the Qinghe Army.

    Of course, most of the soldiers recruited were incorporated into the main force of the Qinghe Army, and only 30% were left to defend their victories.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
