Chapter Twenty-Three: Back to the City

After everyone dispersed, Lin Fan asked Song Mao in a deep voice: "Brother Song, according to the usual practice, shouldn't there be one hundred and twenty people in the inspection department?" But I took a general look just now, why are there only more than 70 people here? Where are the rest? ”

Song Mao seemed to have known that Lin Fan would ask this question, and he was not surprised, he just shook his head with a wry smile and said, "My lord just came to Wuguan yesterday, and it is natural that he doesn't know anything about the situation here."

"My lord, the inspection department has failed in the last few times when it was ordered to enter the mountains to suppress bandits, and the brothers have lost a lot of money, and they have lost most of them in several defeats."

"And according to the practice of the imperial court, most of the soldiers of the inspection department were recruited from the locals. But because the battle was so unpleasant, the local people would rather suffer at home, and no one was willing to send their children to the inspection department on an errand, saying that they were afraid of being sent to the battlefield to die! ”

"So even if the subordinates tried hard to persuade them, they only added part of it, and the rest of the personnel never added it. But anyway, the subordinates are really derelict in their duties, and please ask the adults to punish them! ”

Lin Fan nodded, and glanced at Song Mao in surprise, "I see!" Brother Song, I don't blame you for this, don't blame yourself too much! ”

"However, let's not be too conformist, if the locals don't want to, then we'll recruit outsiders. Nowadays, there are so many refugees, it is easy to choose dozens of able-bodied young people from among them, and they will not want to participate! Besides, with military salaries, it can be regarded as a way for their whole family to mobilize the old and the young. ”

Lin Fan thought for a while, and then said: "Just do what you say, Brother Song, you will send someone to post a signboard now and start recruiting!" Also, tell all the brothers that they should treat the new brothers equally, and not oppress, otherwise they will be severely punished! ”

"Yes, sir!" Song Mao saw that Lin Fan had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, saluted Lin Fan, and turned around to handle the matter according to Lin Fan's instructions.

Seeing Song Mao go away, Lin Fan asked An Ning, "An Ning, tell me your opinion, have you thought about how to train in the future?"

An Ning smiled: "Don't worry, don't worry, leave it to me and Brother Wang Hu, you can rest assured!" As long as the staff is ready, they can start at any time, and within a month, they are guaranteed to be reborn! ”

Lin Fan looked at An Ning with some surprise and quipped, "I said you kid, why did you suddenly start calling me an adult?" I'm really uncomfortable! ”

An Ning smiled: "Young master, isn't this in the army!" I have already discussed with Brother Wang Hu, and we will all call you Lord in the army in the future! I'll call you young master when I get home! ”

Lin Fan knew that this was actually the best result, in the army, public and private must not be confused, otherwise how to lead the army, and how to serve the public!

He could only smile helplessly: "Whatever you want!"

After Song Mao sent out the proclamation to recruit soldiers, the refugees came for a while when they heard the news and rushed to sign up.

In just over a day, Song Mao, An Ning and others selected more than 50 young people from them to make up for the vacancy in the inspection department.

Lin Fan spent another whole day dividing the original people into ten teams. In addition to the original team members, several new team leaders were promoted based on merit, and then the newly recruited people were disrupted and dispersed to each team to make up for the manpower; No more, no less, exactly twelve people per team.

So far, after a few days of busyness, the formation of the teams of the Inspection Division has been officially completed.

After the personnel are in place, the next step is the entire training arrangement.

Regarding the training matters, according to Lin Fan's arrangement, it was mainly Anning, supplemented by Wang Hu, who was responsible for the training of the entire inspection department, and under the control of the two of them, the training finally began to be busy.

According to Lin Fan's opportunity, everything went on in an orderly manner. In the subtle way, no one noticed that after Lin Fan and their arrival, the Wuguan Inspection Division began to exude a different brilliance from the original!

Early one morning, Lin Fan got up listlessly, yawning, stretching, and his whole body was lazy.

I didn't pick myself up until I left the house and looked like I was the boss here.

This is because although Lin Fan is an official, he is still a plausible half-military attachΓ©, but he has been pampered and pampered since he was a child; For a while, the habit of the family has not been completely changed!

If someone saw Lin Fan's performance at this time, it would definitely be difficult to connect the person in front of him with the image of the person who was killing in Jiangxin that day.

As soon as Lin Fan came out of the house, he found that it seemed that the entire inspection department was in the training ground not far away, almost surrounding it, and there were cheers from time to time, which was really lively.

With the excitement to watch, Lin Fan's character will certainly not miss it. He cheered up and approached to see a dozen sergeants lying on the ground wailing, and the initiator An Ning was reprimanding them in the presence of the old god.

It turned out that because of the morning exercises, more than a dozen strong men were not convinced, and An Ning became their head at a young age, and a yellow-haired child who had not dried up actually called and drank at will. So there were many provocations in the words, and there was some reluctance to carry out An Ning's orders, and finally Anning was annoyed.

He called these people out of the ranks and said in a loud voice: "If you are not convinced, then go together, as long as you can defeat me, I will give you this sect leader." Everyone here, including me, will listen to you in the future, and you will do what you say in the future. ”

"If you lose, give me honest obedience in the future, if anyone dares to give me any more moths, be careful that I'm not welcome! Don't you want to be the boss? So what are you waiting for, then hurry up! ”

When these dozen or so people heard An Ning say this, they looked at An Ning's somewhat thin body, and didn't believe that he could kill everyone by himself.

They gritted their teeth, were ruthless, and secretly said, "Fight!" "They all rushed up.

As for the results, everyone else in the inspection department has seen it, and they are all lying on the ground now.

The cause and effect of this matter naturally can't be hidden from Lin Fan, he knows that An Ning is going to be powerful.

In his heart, he actually praised Anning's approach, several of them had just arrived, and only Liwei could convince the public.

Of course, he can't show it straightforwardly. He didn't stop An Ning Liwei, separated the crowd, and wanted to walk in front of these people, but when the others saw that it was Lin Fan who arrived, they saluted one after another: "My lord! ”

The sergeants automatically made way for him, and Lin Fan asked in a deep voice, "An Ning, what's going on?"

"Lord Qiqi, it's okay! I'm playing martial arts with my brothers. "Tranquility returned.

Lin Fan let out a meaningful sigh, looked at the people on the ground again, and said, "Really? You say, what just happened? ”

The sergeants on the ground were also stubborn, and they did not let go, and said after admitting defeat and admitting defeat: "My lord, this is the case, just now it was the head of the Anning Sect who was instructing the brothers, and it was the brothers who asked for their own hardships. ”

Lin Fan snorted in a muffled voice, "Hmph! An Ning, you are the head of the sect, not a martial artist who picks quarrels and provokes trouble, how can you be so light and heavy! Is it necessary to shoot so heavily to guide martial arts? If there is a next time, it will not be spared! Come on, send these injured brothers to the hospital, and as for the consultation fee, it will be deducted from the moon silver of the head of the Anning Sect! ”

"Yes, sir!" Everyone carried these injuries away, Lin Fan watched them get farther and farther away, and said to An Ning: "You kid, you did a good job!"

An Ning said with a smile: "My lord, I can't do it if I don't clean them up!" These people, seeing that we are young, don't take us seriously at all, so these people should be honest now! ”

Lin Fan couldn't laugh or cry a little: "Okay, okay!" Say you're fat and you're gasping! You, don't sell with me, go and go, find a few people, and let them go to the county with me! ”

An Ning's brows were a little heavy, and he persuaded softly: "Young master, why don't I go with you!" I don't worry about other people going! ”

Lin Fan said angrily: "Come less!" I don't know you yet, so don't be lazy and don't work. Besides, I took you there, so what about training? You're still here for me, and if you can't get them out, see how I clean you up in the future!" ”

Finally, Lin Fan patted him on the shoulder and said softly, "Don't worry! It's going to be fine! I still have very important things for you to guard here, and even whether I can come back alive or not depends on you, you come here! ”

An Ning leaned over, he was shocked after listening to Lin Fan's words!

"Young master, no! I have to go, you're so adventurous, you're kidding with your life! ”

Lin Fan kicked him and said with a smile: "Okay, don't worry!" It's all my guess, and it's still between the two. Besides, if we both leave, what if something happens again? You'd better go find someone! ”

An Ning was helpless, so she had to find the three most shrewd and capable and basically trustworthy sergeants to accompany Lin Fan out according to her observations in the past few days.

The inspection department lacked war horses, and even with the addition of Lin Fan, the three of them brought fast horses were only eight or nine.

They took four horses out of the stable, got out of the inspection department, and got on their horses and ran to Yongyang City.

Lin Fan took the three of them straight to the city gate, and coincidentally, it was the team leader who was on duty today who blackmailed Lin Fan last time.

The team was a little embarrassed when they saw Lin Fan coming, and it was too late to hide, so they were a little overwhelmed.

But he still stepped forward and said to Lin Fan: "Zhan Wang, the guard of the city gate, has seen Lord Lin, and he didn't know Mount Tai before his humble position, and he was offended, and he also looked at Lord Haihan!"

Lin Fan bowed his head and said, "Team Zhan is getting up!" In fact, it doesn't matter if you offend me, but the people's lives are already poor, and if those of us who are officials and officials oppress them in every possible way, won't we really force them to death? ”

"Don't you forget that there is a saying called official persecution and rebellion, now you have provoked the people to hate you to the core, if there is really such a day in the future, you think about it, when the time comes, who will be the first unlucky?"

Zhan Wang was embarrassed and said ashamedly: "What the adults have taught is this! After being humiliated, you must change your mind and face, and you will not dare to act arbitrarily! ”

Lin Fan's tone was flat: "You are not my subordinate, you are not under my control, and I can't control it!" So you don't have to say that to me. If you hadn't gone too far a few days ago, I wouldn't have taught you a lesson. As for the future, whether you change it or not is your own business, and the consequences arising from this will naturally be borne by yourself. Okay, that's all I have to say, so do it yourself! ”

After speaking, Lin Fan stopped talking to him, and went straight into the city with a few subordinates and walked towards the county office.

Zhan Wang still wanted to say something to him at this time, expressing his determination to reform himself, and to tell Lin Fan that he had stopped acting as recklessly as before recently, and began to prove himself with practical actions.

But seeing that Lin Fan wanted to enter the city, he didn't dare to stop him, so he had no choice but to let him go, watching Lin Fan and his party gradually move away, he could only sigh wordlessly.

After a few days, Lin Fan came to Yongyang County for the second time. It seems that as the weather gradually warms up, even the county town is a little more angry than a few days ago, and there are a lot more pedestrians, and it is finally no longer a desolate and desolate appearance.
