After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

Zhuge Huaian glanced at the posted government announcements, as if he suspected that he had missed something. He fanned himself and his squinting eyes widened a little.

Huang County was very different from what he had imagined.

The news he just learned three days ago appeared on the public notice board today.

If the magistrate of Huang County informed the people of the Guangsha riot, wouldn't it cause panic among the people?

In fact, when Zhuge Huaian looked around, he really didn't see any emotions like panic or fear on the faces of the people. They simply treated the notice as something normal.

The other decrees published by the Public Notice Office far exceeded Zhuge Huaian's stereotype of Huang County.

Huang County is not an ordinary small county.

Zhuge Huaian closed his eyes again, smiled and pressed the fan down a little to cover up his smile.

Mu Qing posted the notice, firstly to let the public have the right to know, and secondly to better recruit soldiers.

The announcement of Huang County's collection of refugees was brought back to Zhong County by women from Zhong County who came to work.

Some traveling caravans could not bear to see the refugees on the road suffer from cold and hunger, so they sent them to Huang County in search of a glimmer of hope.

More and more people suffering from famine and homeless refugees flocked to Huang County.

Huangxian's population has reached a new high.

Within a few days, the number reached 13,000.

Huang County redeveloped two areas as villages to resettle the people.

When the people of Huang County saw the announcement for the first time, some of them suddenly remembered the previous civil unrest, in which they did not participate and were struggling to avoid starving to death.

Now that they have food, they will be even less likely to think of going to Guangsha to participate in such a rebellion, and they do not have much sense of home and country.

They could not imagine the power of this force. They had lived for more than ten years under the rule of the Tianchi Dynasty, and naturally they would not have thought that the rebellious militia had actually captured two cities.

The Yushun Village was the first group of refugees to migrate from Guangsha to Huangxian County, and they knew why these people rebelled.

At that time, they gathered at the gate of Huangxian and attempted to attack the city because they had run out of food and were almost dying.

Perhaps with a hint of empathy, they were particularly silent about the announcement they saw today.

Mu Qing also knew what a few people were thinking, but he couldn't let this thought spread in Huang County.

This dynasty was certainly bad, and the people's uprising was just a natural consequence of the situation.

Most of the civilians in this wave of uprising were determined to sacrifice their lives for justice and to fight to the death.

But their leader didn't think much of it.

In Mu Qing's opinion, this civil unrest happened too suddenly. A large number of militiamen gathered in a short time and broke into the city before the imperial court could even react.

If it was a group of scattered refugees, it would be fine. When the refugees in Guangsha besieged the city, the imperial court sent troops from the central government to suppress the rebellion, and the civil unrest collapsed on its own.

It was obvious that the people were gathered together in an organized and purposeful manner, and the leader not only attempted to steal food from the civilians (Xiang Quan), but also failed.

After receiving the information from You Yi, other spies planted by Mu Qing in Guangsha also reported a lot of news about the Guangsha militia.

One of them is that this group of militia soldiers acted without principles. After breaking into the city, they burned, killed, looted, and used every possible means to seize food and money.

Such leaders take advantage of the desperate mentality of refugees to benefit themselves.

Mu Qing looked down upon such behavior.

Therefore, the public notice board not only contained news of the unrest among the refugees, but also made Mu Qing's actions public.

After seeing the announcement, all the people felt like they had an extra scale in their hearts. Everyone must have the answer in their hearts as to where the scale would point to.

These refugees who are plotting rebellion are not harmless. Today they will point their knives at ordinary people, and tomorrow, they will also point them at Huang County.

When the announcement came out, many more people came to sign up to be hangers-on. Mu Qing explained in detail at the recruiting office the obligations that hangers-on and yamen runners had to bear together.

She did not hide the fact that life is fragile.

"The hangers-on are just like the yamen runners, they are here to protect Huang County.

Once you become hangers-on.

When the war breaks out, you will be the ones rushing to the front.

You are hangers-on and also soldiers of Huang County, you are soldiers and also vanguards.

You have the responsibility and obligation to protect the people of Huang County. Despite this, those of you who are willing to sign up can stay."

Mu Qing's words were powerful.

There were not only men who came to register. Perhaps because there were female officials, there were also a few women among these men.

The young people present listened to Mu Qing's words. Some of them were mentally weak and escaped, but most of them stayed.

There was determination in their eyes.

Many unfamiliar faces she had never seen were radiating infinite energy.

They don’t know how hard it is to be a hanger-on and what they will face in the future.

But they knew that if the Guangsha migrant soldiers attacked the city wall of Huangxian, how would they protect their families when they were powerless?

Life was slowly getting better. Before Lord Mu came, they had no idea that having a full meal every day felt so good.

They don't want to go back to their previous hard lives.

The recruitment went smoothly this time. There were so many people who signed up that Tietou and Mu Wu did not expect that even a sixty-year-old man would come to sign up excitedly. It took Mu Wu a long time to persuade him to go home.

The first swords and armor were forged from steel.

Both the steel knives and steel armor have a sharpness that does not belong to this era.

Xu Yu, who occasionally works as a blacksmith, is the designer of these weapons.

The Mohists were proficient in mechanical engineering and naturally had some knowledge of magical weapons.

Xu Yu didn't know the origin of this batch of steel, but just looking at these sharp weapons that could be called swords made Xu Yu very envious.

"Every soldier has such a good knife."

Xu Yu put his legs with his trouser legs rolled up and placed them over the bucket in an ungraceful manner. Steel knives were taking shape in his hands. At the same time, several blacksmiths were working overtime to make weapons.

After hearing what Xu Yu said, Mu Qing knew that this guy was interested in steel knives. For so many days, Xu Yu stayed in the room studying physics and rarely came out.

Mu Qing rushed Xu Yu to forge weapons. Xu Yu was in low spirits along the way and only started to get serious when he arrived at the forging workshop.

"Everyone who is a member of the staff will be equipped with a steel sword and a set of steel armor."

Mu Qing didn't finish his words.

The number of yamen runners reached fifty, and each of them had about fifty hangers-on. This was all the original military force of Huang County, which added up to only about two thousand five hundred people.

These two hundred and fifty people are far from enough compared to the tens of thousands of refugees that gathered in Guangsha at the beginning.

After training, these 250 people can reach the level of normal soldiers, but they are still too few.

As the number of people admitted to Huang County increased, after the second expansion, the number of yamen runners remained unchanged, but the number of hangers-on under each runner increased to one hundred.

The old soldiers lead the new recruits, and the training plan was compiled by Mu Qing by combining modern military training and military books of this era.

It's a pity that she doesn't have any talented generals who have been passed down from generation to generation.

In this era, all kinds of military tactics and training methods are secret knowledge for famous generals. They will pass them on to their family disciples to train new generals.

Mu Qingqian had not read many military books in her previous life. The Art of War by Sun Tzu was about uprisings, and some other military books rarely mentioned military training in detail. Leading the troops in Huang County could only be done by her, Mu Wu and Tietou by groping in the dark.

Although Xiang Quan was very talented, Mu Qing did not rashly promote him to the same position as Tietou.

Martial arts and literature are different.

Military generals need to rely on military merit to get promoted.

If Xiang Quan is thrown among ordinary soldiers to train himself, how high his position can be depends entirely on himself.

The number of soldiers in Huang County increased to five thousand, which was no longer something a small county could have.

There are hierarchical differences between counties, just like there are hierarchical differences between prefectures and states.

According to the unified tax grain system, counties with an annual grain tax of more than 100,000 dan are considered "large counties", counties with an annual grain tax of more than 60,000 dan are considered "medium counties", and counties with an annual grain tax of less than 30,000 dan are considered "small counties".

Huang County is a small county.

Zhong County where Li Xiaohua works is the only Zhong County in Guangsha, and its name comes from this.

Of the 5,000 troops, half are equivalent to regular soldiers and have strict organization and discipline.

They did not have fixed swords, but once the war began, everyone would be assigned a steel sword and steel armor.

This is because there are too few blacksmiths. According to the blacksmithing speed of that era, it would be impossible to produce 5,000 sets of steel armor in a short time.

Xu Yu was jealous, but he had to wait until all the soldiers were well-equipped before it could be his turn, unless Xu Yu joined the army immediately.

Zhuge Huaian had been in Huang County for two days, but he was not in a hurry to find the child prodigy Mu Qing.

I originally wanted to spend some time in Huang County, which is a good place for retirement with its beautiful scenery.

After staying in Huang County for two days, he began to take the officials of Huang County seriously.

When he learned that the person well-known in Huang County was the County Magistrate Mu Qing rather than the County Magistrate Mu Shan, he actually felt as if it was just as he expected.

Zhuge Huaian learned from the people about all the government decrees of Huang County since Mu Qing arrived.

Zhuge Huaian had no idea how each decree would be considered and would be issued by officials who came from the imperial examination system.

If it was the child prodigy Mu Qing, it would be reasonable.
