Chapter 57 The Fruit of Victory 1

If this battle was won after the Xu family made great sacrifices, Xu Mujiang probably wouldn't have agreed to kill prisoners at will.

Because it proves that the bandits are indeed capable of fighting, it would be a pity to kill them.

But the fact is that the bandits were beaten like dogs by Xu Shiyang in the battle. Shiwutun broke through the most dangerous South Gate and defeated Luo Dao Ren's final recoil. A total of 5 people died in the whole process, and the bandits they killed were no less than 50.

The 1-to-10 exchange ratio made the Xu family's fortress lords look down on the combat effectiveness of the bandits, leaving the old bandits behind, and they could not work or fight. What's the point?

What's more, the eldest and second masters of the Xu family all need the elderly bandits to compromise with the Xu family and Dao Ren Luo to completely shut up when they were allowed to sell human flesh at the Xu family market.

Xu Mujiang and Xu Muhe looked at each other, and finally the head of the family made up his mind:

"San Ge'er, this matter is left to you. All bandits who have been in trouble for more than three years or have blood debt will be killed."

"Yes!" Xu Shiyang bowed and accepted the order.

"Also, that Yan Shun..." Xu Muhe hinted.

"Don't worry, my father knows what to do."

"Brother and second brother, how to deal with those bandits, but there is another important thing. Please ask the two brothers to make an idea as soon as possible!" After the war, Jianhui was approaching the end, and Xu Muhai couldn't help asking his most concerned question: "How should we divide the land on the floating mountain?"

There are also fields on Fulai Mountain, and there are not many. A rough estimate is that it is not a problem to raise three moderately sized docks.

Xu Muhai's strength is the weakest among the Xu Jiamu generation, so he has no choice but to worry about the distribution of these new docks.

"Let's do this, since there are three forts, the long house, the second house, and one for three houses, who is the fortress owner, let's go home to discuss it."

Without the threat of bandits in Fulaishan, the population of the fort can gradually expand rather than be limited to no more than 500 Dingkou. The place on Fulaishan is probably the last newly built fort by the Xu family in recent years.

Since everyone attaches great importance to these three forts, it is better to divide them directly and save unnecessary disputes. As for whom each house is given to, let each family have a headache.

...

"I can probably get about 200 Dingkou and 500 bandits."

After the meeting, Xu Shiyang privately found Gongsun Sheng, Xu Daxu Er, Li Wooden Jiang and others and whispered:

"And I will choose the population first. Then you can pay attention to it. I want craftsmen, blacksmiths and carpenters, and there is no problem with stonemasons. Any craftsman is fine. As long as the work in your hands is not fashionable, it is enough."

"Also, go to the old bandit to pick it up. If there are craftsmen, tell me that I will find a way to save it."

The group nodded.

After a while, Gongsun Sheng asked carefully: "Sanlang, how do you divide the villages on the mountain?"

"Each room is divided equally, but I don't want to get involved. Too many people inside are jealous."

Xu Shiyang shook his head, but then said to Gongsun Sheng, who looked disappointed, on his face:

"The direction of our fort is not here. The fort on the mountain is of no benefit except safety. You can do it well. When our population is too large, there will be a place for you to perform."

"Didn't you say that you won't build a new fort in the future?" Gongsun Sheng asked in confusion.

"Haha, I just won the bandits, and I forgot that there are Tartars outside the pass?"

Xu Shiyang whispered with a wry smile:

"It is a shame to make your hometown look like a newly developed land. Moving forward one village at a time is simply a shame, but in reality, you have to compromise."

He shook his head hard, kicking out the sudden depression, and then continued: "Next, I plan to restore the several docks destroyed by the Tartars in the west. There are familiar fields around it, so we can recover it by going there!"

Gongsun Sheng's eyes lit up again.

To explore the west is also to explore. Although it is much more dangerous than Fulaishan, if there is danger, there is a chance.

"Sanlang, let me go!" Gongsun Sheng couldn't help but recommend himself: "I can definitely..."

"No, we all go." Xu Shiyang said: "I plan to build Shiwutun into a large rear, so that Hu Lanshan can stay behind, and those who can stand alone, you and I will go to the front."

The focus is moved westward, this is Xu Shiyang’s next plan.

...

One day later, all the confiscations of the Fulaishan Battle were completed. According to the principle of equal division, Xu Shiyang could obtain 180 Dingkou, 350 women and children and other bandits, about 100 worthless weapons, more than 500 iron farm tools, a large number of clothes and bedding, and other messy spoils.

In terms of grain, since the storage of Luo Daoren's clan is much larger than expected (except for the Xu family, other local families have handed over the offerings to Fulaishan this year, and now the Xu family is all cheaper), Xu Shiyang has nearly 300 stones of miscellaneous grains of various colors, as well as 20 cattle, 10 horses, 200 pigs and sheep, and about 500 poultry.

Finally, there are some gold, silver, money and silk, which are all added up. There are about 800 stags in Xu Shiyang's hands, which is not much, but there are also quite a few. If you get it to Jiangnan and exchange it for food, you can get more than 1,500 stones.

Xu Shiyang planned to hand over the money seized from the Tatars to his fleet to the south for sale, and exchange two-thirds for food, one-third for salt, and nothing else.

This winter, Xu Shiyang planned to take advantage of the slack farming to vigorously train his militias - this battle caused too many jokes, and fortunately he was pestering with bandits. If it were Tartars, he would have been cold.

To strengthen training, soldiers must be provided with sufficient nutrition, otherwise it will not be training, but murder.

“Cafeteria system!”

When he is free, Xu Shiyang often writes and draws in the room he has assigned to him. He has a lot of work in the future and must be recorded one by one, otherwise it is easy to miss items.

"People who participate in the training can eat in the cafeteria, which can save their own food, and try to avoid the strong robbing the weak's food, and can also subtly strengthen collective consciousness!"

"There is enough food now. If you train for a winter, and you may be fighting again next year, the militia's performance will be much better than it is now, right?"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

"There are also weapons. The wooden spear is too difficult to use. At least it has to provide the militia with a gun tip." Xu Shiyang wrote and said: "The firearms performed well. The lords should have seen them all. They will come to talk to me about this issue soon."

"Well, there is nothing to keep in secret about the production technology of the fire door gun. Anyway, Xu Shisong has already manufactured a lot of OEMs, and so are wooden cannons. That thing has no technical content. It can be made public, so other Xu family fortresses will strengthen their military equipment."

"But gunpowder production must be in my own hands! Otherwise, once it is leaked and let the Tartars know, it will be miserable."

Xu Shiyang nodded vigorously:
Chapter completed!
