Regarding Huang Wenbing's reaction, Sun Tu didn't care too much. In his opinion, this is just a logical result, Huang Wenbing is indeed capable and loyal to himself, plus now there is really no one in Qingzhou City who can hold this position better except him, who else can he choose if he is not temporarily the prefect?

The others laughed when they saw this, and congratulated Huang Wenbing one after another. After making a fuss for a while, Sun Tucai said again: "It is one thing to govern the affairs of the state capital, but the more important thing for us is to strengthen the army, which is within my equal responsibility." ”

These words immediately won the unanimous agreement of everyone present, everyone knew that today is because the Qingzhou Army is strong enough, and if you want to continue to ensure your own security and interests, making the Qingzhou Army stronger has become the key.

Seeing this, Sun Tu also smiled with satisfaction: "So I plan to expand the army and recruit troops again." Although we have captured nearly 1,000 captives from the Three Mountains this time, it is difficult to say whether they can be used or not, at least until we confirm that they are of the same mind as us, and we cannot completely regard them as comrades. After several battles, the casualties of our Qingzhou Army are not small, and now it is time to continue to recruit young people from the people into the army. I'll have to leave it to you. ”

"Rest assured, now our Qingzhou Army is not only famous in Qingzhou, but also in the entire Shandong, which is also admired by everyone. As long as we spread the idea of recruiting troops, we dare not say that there are too many people, and we can always recruit 35,000 people as soon as possible. Qi Desheng immediately replied.

The others also chimed in: "Yes, in fact, there have been many young people in the city who have been asking around recently if they have a chance to join our Qingzhou Army, and they will not miss this opportunity." ”

"Of course it couldn't be better. However, my requirements for Qingzhou soldiers will still not decline due to the increase in numbers, the first point is to absolutely obey military orders, and then they are willing to endure hardships and practice, as for their background, they can be put aside first. I hope you can all carry it out. Sun Tu put forward his own requirements: "I hope that the conscription can be done before the year, and then slowly practice, so that in the autumn and winter of next year, my Qingzhou Army will be even stronger." ”

Now Sun Tu no longer plans to do everything himself, and after entrusting his intentions and general direction to him, he will hand over this kind of civil and military affairs to Huang Wenbing and Qi Desheng. As for himself, he had more important things to do.

After everyone dispersed, he deliberately stopped Huang Wenbing: "There is another matter, which needs you to do it as the temporary prefect, that is, to send letters to the governors of several prefectures in Shandong, so that they can form an alliance with my Qingzhou." ”

"Huh? What does this mean? Huang Wenbing said with some doubts. Everyone is an official of the imperial court, how can you say that the alliance is an alliance? If you really want to talk about the alliance, isn't there also the transfer of the Gyeonggi East Road above to the yamen to rule everything?

"This time, I suppressed bandits in Qingzhou, but I attracted the Liangsanbo thieves from Jeju Prefecture. If they hadn't come a little late, and our army had already conquered Erlong Mountain, I am afraid that the future battle situation would have twists and turns. This time it was luck, but what about the future? I must not allow such a change to happen again, and this requires the concerted efforts of the officials and troops of my Shandong prefectures. ”

Sun Tu said with a solemn face: "What you have to do this time is to explain this matter more clearly, and let the surrounding state officials know the danger of the bandit alliance to them." Now even those thieves who occupy the mountain as kings can unite with each other, but we and other court officials and soldiers are still just taking care of themselves, which is too much to say. An agreement must be reached as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be difficult to say. ”

Only then did Huang Wenbing understand that Sun Tu had such a hard time, so he responded with his fists clenched, and then said with some concern: "Eunuch, aren't you afraid of the court's suspicion if you do this?" After all, the previous killing of Murong Yanchao had just been resolved. ”

"It's about the stability of my Qingzhou and the whole territory of Shandong, so I can't take care of these side matters." Sun Tu smiled and said, "You just have to do it, I believe that there will always be people who understand things and understand me!" ”

After ordering all these civil and military things, Sun Tu completely relaxed. Next, he planned to accompany Ya'er well, and prepare everything for his wedding, although it didn't have to be as much red tape as when many people got married at this time, but there should be a lot of festive scenes missing.

And after experiencing the surprise of being proposed by Sun Tu in public, Ya'er was particularly embarrassed when she got along with Sun Tu again, always blushing and fluttering, and even her voice was softer than before, but there was a strong joy and expectation between her eyebrows and eyes, although she didn't really say it, but she desperately hoped that day would come sooner.

For the rest of the November days, Sun Tu stayed by Ya'er's side, watching the sky and snow in his house with her, talking about love words that could make the little girl feel more shy, and everything seemed extraordinarily relaxed......

In stark contrast to Sun Tu's relaxation, the others were still busy with their own errands, especially the barracks, which were now even more crowded, with hundreds of people coming to apply every day, in addition to Qingzhou locals, many from nearby state capitals.

In fact, under the guidance of the thought of the noble and martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty, the people were quite resistant to joining the army, and there was even a saying that good men should not be soldiers. It is only when those who have sinned and been assigned to do so, and if they are unable to survive in a disaster, will people reluctantly enter the barracks.

It is difficult to get ahead of the barracks, and even become a boss coolie, and even get no basic living security, which has become a common understanding among the people today. However, Sun Tu's birth and various changes in the Qingzhou Army have completely broken this stereotype.

As long as you enter the Qingzhou Army, the money, food, salary and silver will no longer be owed, even the money and salary that have been owed before will be returned according to the number, and as long as you are willing to work hard, the army will also issue rewards according to performance. These benefits alone are enough to make ordinary people who have lived a miserable life for many days yearn for it.

Not to mention that this time, Sun Tu led his troops to sweep away three thieves and cottages in Qingzhou, eliminating harm for the people, and at the same time completely starting the name of the Qingzhou Army, which was regarded as a heroic team by many people in Shandong. There are many heroes in Shandong, and now everyone has the opportunity to join such a heroic army, naturally everyone is excited, even if they are not Qingzhou locals, as long as they get the news, there are many people who will work tirelessly to Qingzhou City to enlist.

So a scene that broke everyone's understanding appeared in Qingzhou City, when the other state capitals only kept less than fifty percent of the Xiang army, but the number of conscripts in the Qingzhou army had exceeded the quota of the imperial court, and after the halfway point of the lunar month, this number was fixed to three thousand seven hundred, which was seven hundred more than the number of Xiang troops stipulated by the imperial court.

Such an eye-catching achievement naturally made Sun Tu and them very excited, but at the same time, the price paid was quite large. Originally, after copying and destroying Murong Yanchao and other officials, Sun Tu obtained a lot of money, and then Lianping three cottages, and seized more benefits, in addition to distributing to meritorious soldiers, as well as compensating the casualties, there are still tens of thousands of surplus in the army warehouse, and everyone originally thought that it could be used for a year or two.

But as a result, after such a large number of recruits were recruited into the battalion, the consumption in the army suddenly became much greater. In particular, the food that is already in short supply will be stretched even harder. Huang Wenbing could only buy food from the surrounding state capitals through various channels, and even began to make other decisions.

Seeing this, Sun Tu was not ambiguous, and immediately took out all the three thousand taels of gold he had newly obtained and handed them over to the army for use. It was also under the persuasion of the other brothers that he took back three hundred taels of gold for the wedding early next year.

And as soon as this matter came out, Sun Tu's status in the minds of the Qingzhou Army was improved again, and everyone admired Sun Dujian from the bottom of their hearts. You must know that other commanders and generals often try their best to get benefits from the army, deduct military rations, and eat empty quotas just to satisfy their greed. But Sun Dujian is completely opposite to them, not only does not profit from the army, but constantly throws money into it, such a general is unpopular, what other general can get the support of officers and soldiers?

Of course, not everyone recognized Sun Tu, and when there were many people in Shandong and the army who respected him, some officials and generals in the state government had a lot of opinions about him, because Huang Wenbing's official letter had been sent to their desks.

"A small six-rank capital eunuch, a guy who is still not an official, but has temporarily taken over the position of prefect due to a change, actually dares to give orders to us, and still wants to command the officers and troops of the entire territory of Shandong? Who do they think they are? Who gave them the audacity to dare to have such arrogant thoughts! ”

This is the first reaction of almost everyone who receives a letter. However, they also knew that Sun Tu had a backer in the court, and even a high-ranking official like Liang Shicheng couldn't move him, and it was impossible to kill Murong Yanchao and hundreds of other people, so they didn't mean to be enemies with Sun Tu, just made a few complaints, and threw these letters into the corner. Everyone has the same status, even higher than Sun Tu, who would be willing to follow his orders?

As for some people who are tempted, after perceiving everyone's intentions, they don't dare to go against the trend, unless an opportunity arises, Sun Tu's idea of integrating Shandong's official army can only become a joke.

And the opportunity appeared at the last moment of the end of the year. No one would have thought that in the three mountains of Lianping in Qingzhou, when the government was in full swing, there would be bandits and bandits who would openly take action.

Chinese New Year's Eve night, when the entire Great Song Dynasty was immersed in joy, an army suddenly came out of Liangshan and slaughtered Dulonggang, which was not far from them......
