On the second day, as soon as the sky dawn, Qing Cang summoned everyone to wait in the main city.

Qing Cang asked at the beginning:

"The nearly five hundred people who were with me yesterday should belong to the subordinates of your two armies. Have you ever commended them?"

Zhang Liao replied: "Return to Commander, when I returned yesterday, I and Commander Zhao will reward them uniformly. If the commander means, these people will be treated specially. We will select useful people from them and take the initiative to obtain them if they have any credit in the future to show their importance."

"Very good, just like this, what's the situation with the eight thousand surrenders?"

Zhao Zilong said first: "Report to the commander. According to the statistics of the guards, nearly 1,000 of the eight thousand surrendered people were those who surrendered to us. There were also three hundred of them who were our soldiers. They surrendered to Wang Yun and then to us. How should these people deal with them?"

Now it is the time to liquidate, and you should be rewarded. None of them can be lost. If you are punished, you should be punished even more.

Zhang Liao said: "In my opinion, I will first throw the three hundred people away from the wilderness and exil. It is really hard for me to use the unstable morale of the army. As for those nearly a thousand people, they have their own difficulties. For forgiveness, they will be fine."

Yesterday Qing Cang was also thinking about this question. He knew the cause and effect of the matter, because he was there at that time. Sensually, these people had no choice but to betray them again. From the perspective of emotion and reason, there are two solutions.

Finally, he came to a conclusion.

"The Chinese Legion does not allow betrayal, this is an iron rule!"

When he said this, people probably already knew what he wanted to say next, and that was to deal with everything impartially.

"There are great sins. Let's talk about the three hundred warriors who originally belonged to us first. Their betrayal is a fact. In the past period of time, I decided to exile them to major mines, do the heaviest work, and serve fifteen years of labor. And deprive them of all their personal property. Besides, there is no difficulty in the army. There is only iron law in the military. They violate our iron law, and there are also punishments. All the property that rewards them will be taken back, and they will also be delegated to the mines, and will serve ten years of labor."

His decision attracted everyone's praise, maybe this is the best solution.

After signaling everyone to be quiet, he continued: "There are still 7,000 surrenders. First, ask them if they join the Chinese army. Those who want to join should review them. Those who are strong-minded should hire them directly, and those who are not strong give up. As for those who do not join, they will work in the mine and can only leave after five years."

"yes!"

In this way, the liquidation will be completed.

Next he asked: "Have the people who returned from the people counted?"

Then the guards came out and said, "Report to the commander, the number of people who returned last night was about 100,000, and today there are still 6 more people returning to the city."

If a city has a insufficient population, it will directly affect its sustainable development. Reform exhibitions need to use population as the base, which is why he devoted himself to the Huaxia City and introduced the population at that time.

There are not many 100,000 people, which directly affects the question of how much troops he has left behind. If it exceeds 200,000, maybe he can leave more troops. But if there are only 100,000 people, he will have to consider it.

"Okay! I understand."

The guard retreated. At this time, there was a man in the hall, who was born with a majestic appearance and was quite strong. Qing Cang glanced at him. This man was one of the nearly five hundred people yesterday, that is, the one who vomited Wang Yun's saliva.

Because of his performance, he was promoted to the commander of the regiment. When he returned yesterday, Qing Cang asked his name specifically. He was Ao Hang. His martial arts were not bad at all, and his physical strength could definitely be ranked among the Chinese Legion.

Ao Hang seemed to have noticed Qing Cang's gaze, but he did not dodge, but instead stood up straight. Because he understood that this was a good omen, there must be a task to be put on.

Sure enough, after a while, Qing Cang seemed to have made some decision, he said:

"Ao Hang, Hong Yu, Murong Bai, Zhao Fan, you four come out."

These four people are four who made outstanding contributions yesterday, each of whom is a group-level figure.

The four of them quickly stepped out and gave a salute.

"The four of you performed very well yesterday, with the spirit of the Chinese Legion, so the task of defending the city is handed over to you. You four are all regiment-level. I am now specially promoted to strengthening regiments for you, and each person can lead 5,000 troops."

The four of them looked excited, which was great news. They could be said to be the first group of people to defend the city at the regiment level since their army. You should know that the other cities have brigade level as the lowest rating.

The four of them said in unison: "Thank you, Commander!"

"This is what you deserve. It is a great military merit to defend the city. When you return to Huaxia City, I will reward those who have made outstanding contributions to the brigade upgrades!"

This news is undoubtedly more explosive. The brigade level can carry much better than the regiment level.

While they were surprised, Qing Cang then arranged:

"Ao Hang, Hong Yu, Murong Bai, Zhao Fan, you four guard the four gates in the east, west, south and north respectively. You should listen to it. It is important to defend the city. The word "guarding". If you can consume the enemy, you should consume it. Don't be eager for success. I will leave all the weapons of siege for you to use.

When there are major decisions, adopt a voting system and the minority obeys the majority. Finally, I will leave a telegraph machine for you, and you will send someone to collect the telegram every day.

As for the reform issues, I have sent a telegram to go back to Huaxia City, and Chief Guo and Minister Wu will select some people to assist you in the reform. In the defense of the city, more soldiers should be recruited to strengthen our troops. Do you understand what I said?"

Here he achieved absolute fairness and democracy. The power of the four people is as great as that of them. No one can directly decide on the implementation of the strategy. Only when four people vote can they draw conclusions.

"Yes! We understand!"

Finally, Qing Cang thought of something else.

"Also, we will provide the weapons and equipment needed by the four of you, because we will leave for Pingyuan County at noon."

Ao Hang said first: "Commander, my shield has been damaged by the enemy. Can I give me another one? I want to use the turtle shield as a shield, can I?"

"It can be achieved as long as conditions allow."

"Thank you, Commander."

As for the other three, Hong Yu used a gun, Murong Bai used a double hammer, and Zhao Fan wanted to turn off the knife.

The four people were full of confidence, with a total of 20,000 people. With a large number of weapons, even if the enemies three times theirs came, they had a way to defend Nanpi, and it was possible to win. Moreover, as time went by, there would only be more and more people guarding the city, and these people would be managed by the four.
