Section 134: Preparing for the Turkic War (14)

When Liu Shan saw the crowd scattered and ran away, he sighed. Some people were not afraid of soldiers holding swords, but were afraid of harmless mice and animals.

The prodigal merchants used all kinds of tricks, but Liu Shan was like a rock, still standing still. No matter what method they used, this great god would not let go of the things he took back. He had made enough trouble, and these prodigal merchants were helpless and completely desperate. Liu Shan and the others had no choice. In their words, it was the stone in the pit, which was smelly and hard.

However, in this battle against profiteers, Liu Shan won another thing, the people's hearts.

As for how to win the hearts of the people, Liu Shan himself felt that he had a more thorough fight with the unscrupulous merchants, which saved a lot of unnecessary losses for the Tang Dynasty, and even brought back a lot of urgently needed materials for the border defense of Liangzhou.

However, according to the private chat of the people, Liu Shan won the people's hearts because of the following points.

"Don't believe it. I was sitting opposite General Liu at that time, not kneeling." An honest farmer told his aunt and uncle.

"Waiter, just blow it! You can sit opposite a general." The old woman, who was already dizzy, didn't believe her nephew's words.

"Old woman, look at what this is." A farmer who lives by growing vegetables called his wife as soon as he entered the door.

"Yinzi, did you pick it up on the road?" the old woman asked her husband with an excited expression.

"Gen. General Liu gave it to him."

"The young ladies around that general are so beautiful. This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful ladies when I grew up." A gangster told his companions while drinking.

"Just brag, no matter how beautiful the girls in Jianghualou are," his companion said in an absolutely disbelief.

"Those girls, I tell you, those girls from Jianghualou are not qualified to carry shoes for those little ladies."

Various rumors spread quickly among the people, as if they had grown wings. It was only a few days after Liu Shan arrived in Liangzhou that he had become a household name and was well-known to everyone. Even the three-year-old child who was still urinating on the kang could call out Liu Shan's name. Those ladies who didn't even come out of the door talked about Liu Shan's affairs and their companions. Some even suspected that Liu Shan had three heads and six arms and had horns on his forehead.

However, when rumors were rampant, another group of people came to Liu Shan’s camp. These people were clamoring to join Liu Shan’s army. These people came from various villages and streets and used to run various business operations.

At this time, Liu Shan also played a sign of conscription very well. The sign used cinnabar to write the conditions for conscription. Liu Shan's army was treated quite generously. Not only did he eat and drink, he had many weapons, armor and war horses, but he also had copper coins. Some people didn't believe it when he was in the army.

At first, I saw a large amount of grain piled up in Liushan's camp to join the army, and when I saw a beautiful little lady in Liushan's camp to join the army, I thought that Liu Shan was okay, and had a grudge against those unscrupulous merchants, and I felt that Liu Shan had kindness to him to join the army. At this time, these people felt that they had not come to the wrong place.

Seeing the young men joining the army outside Liushan camp lined up in a long queue, Lin Meng was so envious, but his hands were tight at this time, and he wanted to recruit people, but he did not have the conditions given by Liu Shan. Even someone in Lin Meng's army talked privately, and he was full of complaints, regretting why he was not in Liu Shan's army.

Liu Shan's army quickly expanded its enrollment. With a large amount of supplies he had received from the profiteering business, Liu Shan's expansion of the army was not under any pressure, and the grain was piled up in mountains. Although the food was limited to other military camps, we opened the food here. The weapons confiscated had already blocked the road to the camp. You said that you were not enough, then, you took two knives, and you would be a double-sword samurai in the future, and you would be a veritable double-sword scrambler. What did you say, you felt that it was not safe to wear a piece of armor, so you would wear two pieces. You said that you were not enough, then, you would take care of the horse house in the future, and there were hundreds of horses there. Then I would not be a groom. Yes, you are a groom, or a genius among grooms, the full name is Maldives.

However, when Liu Shan quickly expanded his army, he did not forget his identity. His large-scale expansion of the army was OK at this time of the Liangzhou crisis, but once the crisis was lifted, it would be a serious crime to expand the army privately. Recruiting soldiers and horses privately is deeply taboo by those in power no matter what era they are placed in.

Liu Shan recruited 12,000 troops from his headquarters and stopped recruiting them. This is also the limit that Liu Shan thought that those in power could tolerate, but Liu Shan did not rush to the person who came.

"You can't participate in the regular army anymore, but we still have the civilian army, there are reserve forces, auxiliary defense forces, border troops, Liangzhou guardian rebels, ranged troops, and law enforcement teams." So, under Liu Shan's name, countless teams were quickly organized.

"Baichou, if you take these people, you will be your Baichou's private guard in the future."

"Why do they watch me drool!"
