Shortly after Li Zicheng set out, Niu Jinxing suddenly became dissatisfied with the large number of beggars and idle people in the capital during an inspection. He asked Xin Sizhong and said, "Now the emperor is leading the army east to attack the unjust officials. Although there are still some soldiers in the city, they are alone and lonely. These idle people have played some role in recovering stolen goods and helping the money not long ago. However, now this business has come to an end. These people do not work and are lingering in various parts of the capital. It is ultimately a hidden danger. Look..."

Xin Sizhong thought about it, but there was no good way, so he said, "What is the prime minister's trick? Just keep it straight and just say it, and the last one will do it."

Niu Jinxing nodded, "There are several ways. First, we send it to the suburbs of Beijing to farm. According to the officials who surrendered to our dynasty, most of the fields in the suburbs of Beijing are in the hands of dignitaries. Now, these land deeds have been seized by our dynasty, and second, many of them have been dealt with by us. Many of the fields are unowned fields."

Xin Sizhong said: "The Prime Minister's statement is reasonable, but according to the end, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled among these people are beggars, and they probably cannot even farm. Young and strong people have livelihoods, and most of them are involved in the docks, transportation of coal, manure, grain and other tasks."

"This is the second thing I want to say," Niu Jinxing continued, "For those who are closely related to the city's business, you might as well let them start again. However, the canal transportation is cut off and the merchants at Xishan Coal Mine have also left. They have no customers, and even if they want to do things, he has no one to invite them."

At this time, Huangfu Duan was following Xin Sizhong. After hearing this, he said, "Report to the Prime Minister, from the perspective of the students, if they want to make their own duties, they must wait for the end of the Shanhaiguan War and our Dashun will completely stabilize the situation in the north before it can be implemented."

"Before this, it's better to put them in the military camp."

"Military camp?"

Niu Jinxing looked at the "master" of Zuo Biaoying with interest. At present, both Li Zicheng and he believed that the three previous posts could make today's "progress", which is probably related to the "famous scholar" in Longyou in front of him.

"Yes, Prime Minister and General, I might as well think about it. If I want to completely stabilize the situation in the north, it will probably take at least half a year. In this half year, we will also have to conquer the Jianghuai and Jiangnan areas, and we need soldiers. Moreover, with the opinions of the students, it is better to organize them into a baggage camp."

"Baodrome camp?"

As soon as he mentioned the camp, even Xin Sizhong became interested.

"Yes, it's just that you don't need to practice or practice less. You are specializing in the care of food, grass, equipment, and building bridges when you open the roads and meet water. Anyway, the idle young and strong people in the capital used to do this. It's just to attach some craftsmen to others. However, once you form a camp, you can use military laws to restrain them. In this way, it can not only solve the problems of our marching, but also reduce the hidden dangers of the city."

Niu Jinxing thought for a while and actually wanted to incorporate these people into the military camp at the beginning, but he was the leader of civil servants. Although he was known as the "Prime Minister", he did not get involved in military power. Among the literati, namely Song Xiance and Li Yan and several military advisors had many suggestions on military affairs. Now that it was proposed by Xin Sizhong's subordinates, it was natural.

What's more, the formulation of forming a baggage camp will not attract people's attention.

"Okay!" Niu Jinxing smiled, "Mr. Huangfu is really worthy of being a famous scholar in Longyou. This plan is very good. Three sentries, let's do it like this. Just form a baggage battalion and temporarily organize the young and strong people into it. When the army returns, we will talk about the matter of dividing the fields and restoring livelihoods."

"As long as we gather the young and strong together and use military law to govern, we will not be afraid of them causing trouble, let alone," Niu Jinxing smiled a little. "This time, we recovered the stolen money and paid, not only did we recover a large amount of silver, but also a large amount of food and supplies. Oh, the Ming Dynasty really should have fallen. According to the food we collected from all over the city, it would be enough for millions of people to eat for a year, but tens of thousands of people starved to death in the city not long ago!"

"After these idle men were incorporated into the military camp, they would not say anything else, and it would be a problem to manage their fullness every day. If they follow the south to fight and make contributions in the future, they can go further. Just do it like this, three posts, and you will do it."

Xin Sizhong was stunned and asked for a while: "Prime Minister, this is good, but who should be managed after being organized into the baggage camp?"

Niu Jinxing thought for a while and said, "Although we occupied Beijing and the yamen were built, there was really no one under our command. It would be better to do this. First, listen to the matter under our officers, assist in handling the affairs of supplies, and work on the streets of the capital. In the past, the Ming Dynasty had a five-city military commander. Yes, it was similar to this. Let's do it first, and then decide when the emperor comes back."

"yes!"

Xin Sizhong understood as soon as he heard this. It turned out that he had thought about it early in the morning, but he just said it through his own mouth.

Niu Jinxing looked at Huangfu Duan again, "Since this matter was proposed by Huangfu's defense envoy, you might as well join this baggage camp. In addition, the dog son also came in. He was idle and tried it. Moreover, among the commanders of several military commanders of the Ming Dynasty, they were dead and ran away. There was only one Wen Renyao who was quite obedient to our army. It would be better to let him attack. After all, he was familiar with the capital, but the Huangfu's defense envoy was still arrested. How about it?"

Xin Sizhong's mentality was frightened. Prime Minister was trying to poach the enemy. He was about to refute. Niu Jinxing continued, "Three whistles, it's okay. It's definitely not possible to use our current methods to manage such a large capital. When the emperor returns to Beijing, everything will be on the right track. At that time, Huangfu's defense envoy is willing to continue to stay in the Military Affairs Office or return to you."

Xin Sizhong's lips moved, but in the end he did not refute.

After the two of them said goodbye, Huangfu Duan immediately said, "Don't worry, General, when this matter is over, the students will still return to Youbiao Camp." Xin Sizhong was overjoyed and held his hand and said, "Sir, I'm sorry."

On that day, notices were posted in major districts in Beijing.

When they learned that the Dashun Army wanted to recruit troops again, they still had to fight the baggage camps, including the young and strong beggars, docks, cart shops, and mule horse shops in the city, they signed up to participate, and within three days they recruited 5,000 people.

After taking out five thousand sets of Ming army uniforms from the Arsenal Department, each of them sent a spear or a geese-feathered sword, some of them assisted the various departments of Dashun under the command of Niu Qi, some patrolled various places under the command of Wen Renyao, and the rest were equipped with large carts, mules, horses, and craftsmen under the direct command of Huangfu Duan, and started to practice in a manner.

Xin Sizhong couldn't help but smile and said, "Sir, this baggage battalion is just an escort for food and grass. Just practice it as the infantry. What are the big carts going to pull these mules and horses?"

Huangfu Duan looked solemn, and he replied: "Report to the general, once the army starts, it will take a lot of troops and horses to be dispatched, and how many days of war will be needed. On this, how much food and fodder is needed, how many soldiers carry themselves, how many carts are transported, and how many mules and horses are transported, all of which need to be carefully considered."

"The students are there now, so there is no need to think about them. However, if there are more than 10,000 cavalry in a large camp like Youbiaoying, you will definitely be responsible for one aspect in the future. There may be several cities and several passes on one aspect, and the troops will definitely be divided. Once the troops are divided, who should take care of these matters?"

"So, we need to train in advance. Those who are literate and those who know how to calculate will be promoted as leaders and follow my method to implement it below. In this way, even if we divide the troops, we will not be at a loss."

"Besides, when the troops are divided, how far is there from the starting point to the destination, how many rivers need to be crossed in the middle, how much water is, and whether you need to enter the mountain to march, you need to consider one by one in advance, and then formulate regulations for the baggage battalion, so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort."

Xin Sizhong's eyes lit up and he thought to himself: "After the Battle of Shanhaiguan, his Right Biao Battalion will most likely go south to fight, and he will definitely be responsible for one direction at that time. If that happens, Mr. Huangfu will have a great place to use his skills."

He quickly said, "Sir, I am a talented man in Liangzhou. I won't disturb you anymore. You can continue practicing."

When Xin Sizhong left, Huangfu Duan shouted, "Everyone, it is not that easy to make a name for himself in this baggage camp. I ask you, if you want to set out to fight in Tianjin like a cavalry battalion of 3,000 people, how much food and fodder do you need to carry? How many big trucks do you need to carry?"

Hong San, the leader of the Beggars' Sect, who suddenly disappeared not long ago, was also in the baggage camp. After hearing Huangfu Duan's words, he saluted Huangfu Duan and replied loudly: "Sir, teach me!"

...

Ouyang Jiong was stripped to Wen Renyao's patrol team, and he turned into Wen Renyao's boss.

After putting on this piece of skin, the two of them felt a little nervous over the past few days.

When the two walked to the Cai family Hu in the west side of the outer city, Wen Renyao secretly said, "Old guy, do you know where Mrs. Song went?"

Ouyang Jiong shook his head, "I am always in a hurry, how can I know about this?"

Wen Renyao smiled and said, "Brother, the wise man does not do secret things. You defect to General Yang in the North City, but our family is General Yue in the South City. Now the situation is settled. How powerful did Mrs. Song in the past make people like you and me turn around. Now it's ridiculous to think about it. Now that Dashun Army has arrived, these people are gone. After all, it's enough to have soldiers in your hands."

Before Ouyang Jiong could agree, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers who followed him to dodge. Seeing that there was no one around, he said, "Brother Wenren, tell me the truth, have you found your concubine and child?"

Wen Renyao's expression changed after hearing this, and then sighed for a while, "This killer is now in chaos, and I can't protect myself. How can I care about this these days? If you don't say it, I almost forgot..."

Ouyang Jiong was shocked, "Looking at his expression, it doesn't seem like he is a fraud. Does he have any other methods for Tibetans in this situation?"

He thought again: "Since I followed General Yang, I have never seen Mrs. Song, but the woman said that she wrapped the red cloth strip on her left arm. When General Yang saw it, he regarded himself as a confidant. The woman was obviously a family with the Yang surname. However, according to the ruthlessness of Yang surname, she was completely a serious Dashun Army. How could she connect with the Daxia Kingdom?"

"Or is this Yang surnamed had something to do with this woman in private before?"
