0044 A young general with a heavy army
He decided to recruit 30,000 soldiers and horses first, anyway, there are many gold and silver treasures in the treasure bag, and it is useless to keep them, good steel must be used on the blade, and money must be used to the fullest, and now is a good time to develop his military power.
In troubled times, only military power can ensure everything, self-protection and self-reliance, and support the true dragon son of heaven...... Anything goes.
He also selected eight of the most prestigious sergeants, promoted and appointed the commanders, and set up a total of ten commanders, and then he was in charge of everything, and paid for the ten commanders under him to be responsible for various specific affairs.
Those who recruit are responsible for conscription, those who train are responsible for training, those who produce armor equipment go to make armor equipment, those who purchase grain and grass go to buy grain and grass, and those who expand military camps go to expand military camps......
Kou Xingtian is dotted up and down, and he does his best. He also rescued Sima Ru from prison and appointed a Sima to accompany the army to fully manage the financial income and expenditure accounts and logistics support of the whole army.
As long as King Chen Yang's body recovers, he can be appointed as his deputy, and in his absence, he can command the whole army.
You must know that Chen Yang Wang was originally a national hero who fought against the steppe Tatars, and he was also a civilian hero without military status and military power, but because of the defeat and serious injury, he fled to this Jiangling Mansion.
The expansion and training of the military troops of Kou Xingtian were in full swing, and at the same time, the first person in charge of the military camp began to be cultivated by his own cronies, and firmly grasped the entire military power.
Except for the original two, the remaining eight were all personally promoted by Kou Xingtian, plus daily expenses, expenses, food and grass, rewards, and military sounds...... All of them are supported by the punishment of the heavens, and the treatment of the armies is quite generous.
Naturally, he won the support of the whole army, and soon he was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and firmly grasped the military power.
The whole army has long forgotten the scholar Li Zhifu, who does not attach importance to military affairs, ignores the army, is unkind to everyone, and can only talk clearly, and is useless.
This was just a loophole by Kou Xingtian, and he was in power.
On this day, Li Zhifu led people into the barracks, and he was also very happy to see that the barracks had a new atmosphere, the momentum was like a grandeur, and there were 30,000 soldiers in the barracks.
After seeing Kou Xingtian, he immediately read out the official order of the imperial court and the military department to the general of Kou Xingtianfu.
After reading out the summons of appointment, Li Zhifu said to Kou Xingtian: "A few days ago, I appointed Gongzi as the general of the army, and I really applied to the court and the military department, and the court and the military department both praised Gongzi's righteous deeds, and immediately approved my performance.
Kou Xingtian pretended to swear and said: "This all depends on the grace of Lord Li, the young general is really unforgettable, in the future, for Lord Li, he will not hesitate to go to the soup to step on the fire, if Lord Li has a place to get the young general, please do not hesitate to command." ”
"How dare you, how dare you, in the future, I want the prince to say a few more kind words for me in front of Lord Ling Zunfu, as the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good officials," Li Zhifu waved his hand, panicking and saying that he didn't dare.
After Governor Li left, Kou Xingtian settled Chen Yangwang, who was only sick and more than half recovered, into the military camp, and announced in public the appointment of him as a deputy general.
After that, he took Zhu Tianxi, slackened the two capitals, ordered two units of five or six thousand soldiers, and engaged in gambling prohibition and arrest in the city on the pretext of training troops, and wantonly seized and confiscated various casinos and underground casinos.
Casino owners and gamblers will be arrested and punished with heavy fines, and they must be redeemed for their freedom with a large sum of money, otherwise they will be locked up in prison and put in prison.
The casino was cleaned up, and Kou Xingtian shouted several people led by the market scoundrels and bullies who had forcibly arrested them to enlist in the army: "I know that before I forcibly recruited you to join the army, you were all local snakes in the market, hooligans, and bullies, all of whom controlled a small piece of your own territory and forced the boss. ”
"To ask you to be honest soldiers is indeed too condescending and a waste of your strengths. ”
"I am now going to release you back into the market, but I will give you a difficult task, and I ask you to unite and form a gang, called the Federation. ”
"Give me all the hooligans and gangsters in the market. ”
"But you all have to remember that I am your boss, your boss behind the scenes, you have to be the only one to look ahead, follow the rumors, and act on my orders, you know?"
"Yes, we obey the orders of the general!" all the ruffians and bullies bowed in unison.
"The ghost is worried, the wolf is broken, you two bastards will be appointed as the president and vice president, and the rest of you will be your chairman of the board of directors, acting as assistants, and immediately pull me up in the shortest possible time to recruit members and disciples. ”
"In the future, you will radiate outward, and strive for the entire gang to spread all over the world, which is more powerful than the beggar gang, you have a long way to go, you know?" Kou Xingtian finally explained the task.
"Yes, it's all according to the boss's orders," the crowd whispered.
"Alright, let's all disperse, let's go about your own work together," Kou Xingtian stretched out his hand and waved everyone away.
On the other hand, after Governor Li came to the barracks to read out the edict of the imperial court and the military department on the appointment of Kou Xingtian, and returned to his mansion, several uninvited guests immediately came to his mansion.
Visiting Governor Li's Mansion was an old man in his sixties, a young man in his twenties, and several capable people.
"Master Li, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, we are all from the Fu Shaobao family in the capital, this is our Shaobao Mansion's little son Fu Wending, and the old man is the butler of the Fu Mansion, Tang San," the old man should first report to his family and introduce himself to the Li Governor's Mansion.
"Ah, it turned out to be the little son and housekeeper of Master Fu Shaobao's family, isn't it for this Fu Gongzi who is in this mansion?"
Governor Li bowed with a smile on his face: "He is now making a lot of noise in the mansion, not only has he purchased several huge properties, but he has also been officially appointed by the imperial court as the general of the government of the mansion, and he is in charge of the military power of the mansion ......"
"That's enough!" Governor Li was chattering as if he was about to repay his merits, and was already interrupted by a rough shout from that Fu Gongzi Fu, "My Fu family is my eldest brother and my two sons, where is there a third one, that guy is clearly an impostor, pretending to be in the name of my Fu family, to deceive Lord Li, so as to take the opportunity to gain recognition and huge benefits from you." ”
How could Governor Li admit that he had been deceived, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't choose to speak: "This Fu Gongzi is really not the son of your Shaobao family? Then does your master have any confidantes outside, what kind of affair has he had? This is also normal, maybe this Fu Gongzi is Fu Shaobao's illegitimate ......?"
"Bold, dare to slander our master, you are impatient," the old housekeeper, Mr. Tang San, also shouted, interrupting the words of Governor Li, "It was my lord who learned from the mouth of the imperial court and colleagues that someone had pretended to be the name of our Fu family son, and had already obtained the position of general of the government in your Jiangling Mansion, and he was not angry for a while, so he asked me and the second son to come to your Jiangling Mansion to thoroughly investigate this matter." ”
"Is it really a fake?"
Governor Li was filled with righteous indignation for a while, and scolded Kou Xingtian: "He deceived me at the beginning, saying that he was following the secret orders of the court and the emperor, traveling in micro-clothes, privately visiting the government and the people's situation in various places, and regularly secretly playing to the court and the emperor according to the truth!"
"Even if he was ordered by a secret order to conduct a private interview with Weifu, it was not good for me to ask for his edict and identity credentials to confirm his identity, so I had to believe him in my heart. ”
"I didn't think I was deceived by him like this, and he deceived me so hard, this damn liar, bitch!"
"Okay, Master Li, it's useless for you to regret and curse now," the old butler, Mr. Tang San, interrupted Governor Li again, "Now what we have to do is to completely erase this damn liar and repay the reputation of our Fu family, you understand?"
"You want to wipe him out?" Governor Li was shocked, and fine beads of sweat immediately appeared on his forehead, "But he is now in charge of the entire government barracks, and he has 30,000 elite government soldiers. I blamed me for being so liar, I thought he was really the son of the Fu family, so I ......"
"So you trusted him, handed over all the military power in your hands to him, and reported to the imperial court and the military department, and officially canonized him as a justifiable general?"
"It's not all because he pretended to be Fu Gongzi's identity, the key is that he is young and rich, and he is willing to privately pay out of his pocket to establish a government soldier for me, there are such good things in the world, I naturally can't ask for it, and I hit it off," Li Zhifu immediately defended himself.
Fu Er Gongzi was very angry, showing how powerful and sophisticated he was, and he was completely in a tone of lesson: "You still have a reason for you, you must know that there is no free lunch in the world, and there will be no good thing in the sky that will drop pies......"
"Okay, Second Son, it's too late to blame Master Li now," the old butler, Mr. Tang San, interrupted the Second Son, "We can only try to remedy it, except for this impostor, everything will be fine, and it will also vent his anger of ruining the reputation of my Fu family." ”
"Then how can we get rid of him? He is now also a dignified and upright court official who occupies the name of righteousness, not to mention, but also 30,000 elite troops in power, not to mention that we get rid of him, he will in turn send a large army to encircle and suppress us, and we can only kill ourselves if we lead the neck," Li Zhifu was so anxious that he raised his hand to wipe the sweat stains on his forehead.
"Master Li, you are calm, don't turn around, the solution is always thought of," Mr. Tang San seemed to be in his chest, and he raised his hand very firmly to pinch the mustache of his chin, and lent leisurely.
"Alas, why didn't Lord Fu Shaobao report directly to the imperial court in advance, removed this imposter from his position, took off his black gauze hat, and first punished him for the crime of fraud by pretending to be a prince of the imperial court?"
