After a few days, Mingyue led a group of yamen runners from Shu City out of the city and began to recruit people along the official roads and small paths.
It is said to be a recruitment, but that is not entirely true.
In fact, it was the previous wave of deserters and bandits that gave Mingyue the inspiration. The suggestion she put forward was very simple, which was to start with those bandits and robbers, specifically to rob the bandits.
Not only were the silver looted by the bandits confiscated, but they were also taken away and stuffed into the military camp.
This military camp is the strategy for strengthening the army proposed by Mingyue. She uses the special method of training special forces in the modern dimension to train a unique team. She wants each of these people to become a strong fighter who can fight ten people at the same time. In the future, this group of people will definitely appear on the front line of the battle.
They have taken the lives of so many people, they should use their flesh and blood to atone for their sins and defend the country for more people. This is called recycling.
Of course, there are also those poor bandits who never get to steal anything, and they are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people.
Mingyue would treat bandits like these as refugees and simply take them to open up wasteland.
As for the silver and jewelry looted from the bandits' den, Mingyue used them on those poor refugees, such as building houses and providing them with porridge and resettlement.
By the way, because both Song and Wu have been recruiting soldiers in the past two years, the refugees who have come here are mostly women, the elderly and children. It would not be appropriate to ask them to open up wasteland again. Mingyue simply let the women weave, and the elderly and children help plant mulberry trees and raise silkworms.
Mingyue did all this under the name of the Lord of Shu City.
He went back and forth to eliminate bandits, relieving the people from the pain of fear. He settled all the refugees who came to seek refuge, and also thoughtfully solved their worries. In the eyes of the people and refugees, these actions made the Lord of Shu City, who was already tall and mighty, instantly become a little taller.
For a time, the reputation of the Lord of Shu City rose rapidly.
Shu City also suddenly became a holy place in the hearts of the refugees. Countless refugees who had heard about these things were heading towards Shu City without hesitation.
Shu City also welcomed everyone who came. In just a few months, the originally not-so-prosperous Shu City had completely changed its appearance. There were bustling crowds of people, a constant stream of carriages, and prosperity everywhere.
Qin Xingye also obtained verification from the secret guards, which confirmed that there was indeed a Jiang Yunqi who killed someone and escaped in Fengcheng.
The hidden guard knelt on one knee and reported with his head down: "I heard that Jiang Yunqi left Fengcheng with his wife. A group of people chased him for dozens of miles for the reward, and finally stopped in Liujia Town, where they learned that Jiang Yunqi had cheated the horse and escaped. But I also heard that Jiang Yunqi went to the horse market alone, and then left alone on horseback."
Qin Xingye pondered for a while before saying to the hidden guard, "Continue to find out the whereabouts of Jiang Yunqi."
The hidden guard nodded in agreement and soon disappeared into the mansion.
Qin Xingye murmured to himself: "This is the best way."
He is truly a man chosen by heaven to have such talented people to assist him.

Mingyue was in a hidden forest at this time. She looked at the two soldiers in front of her with a solemn expression and said coldly, "Zhang Hao, Xu Peng, why are you running away?"
One of the soldiers, Zhang Hao, held his neck high, looking unconvinced: "My father was a soldier before, and he told me that being a soldier is about going into battle and killing the enemy, not like we are now, running around the mountains all day long, jumping like frogs on the ground, and sometimes even asking us to crawl on the ground. You are simply treating us like fools."
Xu Peng also echoed, "That's right. Last time you asked us to attack each other. I've never heard of soldiers being treated like this. It's simply nonsense."
The other soldiers standing nearby also nodded and began to whisper to each other after hearing these words. They had been holding these words in their hearts for a long time, but facing this sissy who looked weak but was actually more ruthless than anyone else, no one dared to speak.
Speaking of which, when they were doing those strange trainings, this sissy did not fall behind at all, and always ate, lived and trained with them. Sometimes they admired this guy very much, but sometimes they hated him very much.
After all, their lives were so good when they were bandits.
Now, even though I am full, I am exhausted from doing this or that all day long.
But even so, no one dared to provoke Mingyue. You know, not long ago someone wanted to assassinate this sissy, but was killed by the sissy instead. Now the body is still hanging on the tree in front.
He just didn't dare to kill anyone, but he dared to run away.
Mingyue sighed inwardly, knowing that this precedent must not be set.
They may even want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so that more and more people don't run away in the future.
Mingyue's face turned cold, and she said sarcastically, "Run away? Do you know how stupid you are? Do you know why we are trained differently from ordinary soldiers? That's because we are the personal soldiers of the Lord of Shu City, and our status is very different from those ordinary soldiers. What we will do in the future is also completely different. Why do you want to compete with them
I am not afraid to tell you that those soldiers out there risk their lives for their entire lives, and at most they can become little-known generals. But you are different. If someone performs well, you may be called to wait by the city lord's side at any time.
You all know that the city lord's reputation is now at its peak, and it may even rise to a higher level in the future. If you are chosen by then, I may even call you my lord when I see you."
Well, isn’t it just a pie in the sky? Mingyue is actually good at it.
Anyway, once these people are in her hands, no one will run away, and she is not afraid of them going out and saying something wrong.
After a long period of training, the place became quiet long before the bright moon opened its mouth.
After hearing her words clearly, everyone was in an uproar again.
They never expected that this sissy would actually say that they were the personal soldiers of the Lord of Shu City, and that the Lord actually had such thoughts and even had such a good thing waiting for them.
Zhang Hao and Xu Peng's eyes also flashed, and the original thoughts in their hearts were instantly shaken.
The two looked at each other and were able to bend and stretch themselves. They immediately knelt down and admitted their mistakes.
Mingyue said righteously, "Every family has its own rules, and every army has its own regulations. If you were caught running away, you should be beaten to death. But I am a merciful person, so today I will punish you to run around the mountain ten times and do a hundred push-ups. The people in your team will also be punished with you for harboring someone."
For a moment, everyone in the same group with the two of them sighed.
On the other hand, the people in other teams were full of relief. With Mingyue's kindness and force, they no longer had the thought of running away.
However, the many former bandits and current soldiers at this time did not know that they would really make a brilliant appearance in the future and fight a beautiful reversal for the Song State.
