On a barren mountain

Yan Kui explained some precautions for the eight hundred Yellow Turban elite soldiers, and then asked them to hide their clothes and armor, and scattered down the mountain to prepare to choose the opportunity to join the army.

After the eight hundred Yellow Turban Army disappeared from sight, Yan Kui, who took a shot to change places, took his subordinates and guards to another barren mountain, and then looked at the remaining 443 merit points on the virtual screen, and his heart moved.

Three hundred more people appeared in front of them.

Unlike the previous eight hundred Yellow Turban elite soldiers, Yan Kui recruited two hundred Liangshan bandits and one hundred White Lotus Sect members this time.

If the elite soldiers of the Yellow Turbans are a group of well-trained regular troops who exude the quality of soldiers, then the temperament of the Liangshan bandits recruited by the system is obviously much more brutal and bloodthirsty.

The clothes are not neat, the appearance is messy, and even the style of weapons is different, but these Liangshan bandits have a little more fierceness and recklessness that the Yellow Turban elite soldiers do not have.

This is the temperament honed by fighting in the green forest, Yan Kui, as the first person in the former Qingyuan green forest, is naturally not unfamiliar, and even a little kind.

Next to these fierce and fierce Liangshan bandits, the hundred White Lotus Sect members were not very conspicuous.

Except for the white clothes, the appearance, body shape, and demeanor of the White Lotus Sect members were not much different from ordinary people, but occasionally, they looked at Yan Kui with fanatical eyes that were inadvertently revealed, which made people feel frightened.

Yan Kui had no doubt that he ordered the system soldiers to die for him, and the three branches of the military that were loyal to him would not hesitate.

But if you want them to do something crazy, whatever the cost, and against humanity, the Yellow Turban elite soldiers and Liangshan bandits may obey orders, but they will hesitate, feel uncomfortable, and condemn themselves, but the White Lotus Sect will not do this.

In their hearts, Yan Kui is the sky, and Yan Kui's order is the power of the sky, and there is no room for hesitation.

But there is a fate, and the oath is completed.

In the eyes of the White Lotus Sect, except for Yan Kui, the others were all ants and floating clouds, including themselves............

…………

To be honest, Yan Kui was a little unable to accept the thoughts of the White Lotus Sect, but to a certain extent, this kind of "dead soldier" was really an extremely sharp knife for the superiors, and he was not afraid of backlash.

Therefore, Yan Kui hesitated again and again, although he felt that the White Lotus Sect members were too extreme and absolute, but after all, he was still reluctant to abandon them, however, in order to ensure that this "knife" did not hurt the innocent as much as possible, he formulated a large number of restrictions and rules for it.

In comparison, even the disciplined Liangshan bandits did not have this treatment, which shows how jealous Yan Kui is of the "knife" of the White Lotus Sect.

Two hundred Liangshan bandits, one hundred White Lotus Sect members, these three hundred Yan Kui were not recruited for nothing, before fighting Heifengling, Yan Kui tasted the sweetness of the combination of fine work inside and outside, so he planned to come again.

These 300 system soldiers, in the next two months, will successively blend into the two major stockades of the White Snake Valley and the First Line Heaven, lurking secretly, waiting for Yan Kui to suppress the bandits as an internal response.

In fact, since Shi Dalei was yin by Yan Kui last time, Yilintian and White Snake Valley have received news that they will definitely be prepared for the internal response of the government, so Yan Kui has plans to fail this plan.

However, in his opinion, anyway, the merit points are stored in the system, and it is better to put them in the two mountains as a detailed work, maybe he can be a miracle soldier in the future.

Even if he can't, he won't suffer, and he can still ask the bandits to raise him soldiers for a few months.

……………

As for the remaining 143 meritorious points, Yan Kui did not plan to keep them, after the three hundred people in front left, Yan Kui recruited one hundred and forty-three White Lotus Sect members, and there was nothing left of the meritorious points.

Of these 143 White Lotus Sect members, Yan Kui planned to let them establish a set of intelligence networks of their own in the three counties of Qingyuan, Chongshan, and Tengxian.

Yan Kui, who experienced the information explosion in his previous life, values the intelligence system more than everyone in the world, and no one knows better than him how much effect a powerful intelligence system can have.

Gathering enemy intelligence, espionage, subversion, assassination, rebellion, sabotage, kidnapping............

An ace intelligence organization, in Yan Kui's heart, is more precious than an army of 100,000.

Previously, Yan Kui asked He Chun to establish an intelligence system for the militia group, although it achieved some results, but the overall quality was still low, so Yan Kui planned to start anew and use the White Lotus Sect members who were relatively suitable for intelligence work to establish an intelligence network among the people, while He Chun's gang mainly attacked military scouts and military intelligence.

After all, in Yan Kui's heart, important departments such as intelligence are still divided into two or three branches, one is to perform their own duties, and the other is to check and balance each other, so as to prevent their family from dominating and blinding the public.

The Ming Dynasty emperor set up two departments dedicated to intelligence, Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which also served this purpose.

In order to distinguish them, Yan Kui also gave names to the two intelligence organizations under his command.

The military intelligence system led by He Chun is called the Black Guard, and the military intelligence network represented by the White Lotus Sect is called the dark web.

Now, under the leadership of He Chun, the black-clothed guards are constantly training and growing, and the dark web will also be in the near future, with more than 100 White Lotus sect members as the backbone, absorbing some local people and elites, and constantly spreading and spreading the net in the three counties and around Tong'an.

The only thing to worry about is that Yan Kui has no suitable candidate for the leadership of the dark web for the time being, so he can only temporarily govern it himself, and then hand over the dark web to him for the time being.

………

Night.

After handing over the two thousand taels of silver tickets to the more than 100 White Lotus Sect members of the dark web to keep as an intelligence fund, Yan Kui left the barren mountain with his personal guards, and after he left, the people of the dark web also obeyed Yan Kui's previous orders, divided into three groups, and went to the three counties to establish an intelligence network.

Teng

As the existence of the bottom of the eight counties of Tong'an Prefecture in terms of wealth, population, and public security, the prestige of the county government in the territory is insufficient, and the degree of control is extremely low.

When Yan Kui took his relatives to the county seat, he saw someone beating each other with knives on the official road, which shows the difference between the government's deterrence of the people.

Herod

Yan Kui pulled up the reins, stopped the horse under his crotch, pointed to the two groups of people in front of him who saw that he had ceased fighting, and five or six guards behind him immediately rushed over, and after a while, he brought two men with blue noses and swollen faces to Yan Kui's horse and knelt down.

"Who are you waiting for, who dares to fight privately on the official road." Yan Kui asked on his horse.

Although the two men were forcibly taken in front of Yan Kui by the guards, although they were scared, they still showed a little resentment on their faces, but they just took into account the guards who were eyeing Yan Kui behind him and holding the knife, after all, they still didn't have the courage to speak provocatively, and replied honestly with their heads down.

"The villain is Jin Sanye's person (Guo Jiading)."

Jin Sanye.

This not-so-unfamiliar title reminded Yan Kui of his previous memories slightly, but compared with this golden three minions, Yan Kui was more interested in the Guo family.

"Is there a fat man named Guo Fu in your house?"

The Guo family's face showed surprise: "My lord knows my family's eldest young master. ”

Oh, it's really not common in the world.

Yan Kui had a smile on his face, as soon as he entered the county, he met two "acquaintances" he knew.

That Jin San didn't say anything, Yan Kui had a lot of dealings with him, and his newly accepted subordinates also came to Yan's butcher shop to make trouble, so that Yan Kui cleaned it up, and afterwards, Jin San also sent someone to bring gifts over to apologize.

And the other fat man named Guo Fu was the one who went to the bandit's lair alone and rescued the fat man with his cousin Yan Jiang.

Later, Yan Kui also heard his third brother Yan Xiong say that after he returned to the city, the fat man had brought people to Daliu Village with generous gifts to thank him, and he became friends with Yan Jiang, and they often exchanged letters with each other, and Yan Jiang also came to Teng County at his invitation.

…………

Tsk, interesting.........

Yan Kui looked at the two "acquaintances" kneeling in front of him with interest and said with a smile.

"I've met your young master a few times."

Before the Guo family was happy, Yan Kui smiled and said: "However, Jin Sanye and I are also acquaintances." ”

This time it was the man who claimed to be Jin San's subordinate who showed ecstasy, and he hugged his fist at Yan Kui and made a green forest salute.

"Dare to ask the uncle's big name, and the small one can meet the real hero."

"Haha."

Yan Kui laughed and replied loudly: "I am Qingyuan Yan Kui." ”

After that, he didn't pay attention to the two anymore, and asked his guards to tie the two to the horse and take them away, and he knocked the horse's belly with his own feet, beat the horse and rushed to the county seat.

As soon as Yan Kui walked away, the remaining two groups of people on the official road looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.

The Yan Kui who destroyed the Black Wind Ridge came to Teng County......

The county seat of Tengxian County.

Compared with Qingyuan County, it is a little less prosperous and a little more vicissitudes and dilapidation.

When Yan Kui arrived, Gong Fa and Teng County, the county magistrate and a number of large and small officials, who had come first, were all waiting at the city gate.

Yan Kui's official rank is from the sixth rank of the captain, in terms of rank, although it is higher than the officials of Teng County, it is not enough for all the officials in the city to come out to the city gate to greet him.

However, because Yan Kui's main position is to supervise the suppression of bandits in the three counties, and he can issue military orders to cooperate with the three counties when necessary, so, to a certain extent, Yan Kui is the boss of the officials of the three counties, especially the military attachés and non-commissioned officers, so it is understandable that the officials of the county went out of the city to greet them.

Not to mention, Yan Kui is now leading troops to exterminate Heifengling, and the momentum is booming, and everyone wants to make friends with this new star in officialdom.

…………

Turning over and dismounting, Yan Kui met with the county officials under the guidance of Gong Fa and recognized each other's familiar faces.

Because of the county order of Teng County, he just returned to his hometown last month, and the new county order has not yet been appointed, so the post of county magistrate of Teng County is vacant, and now the county magistrate is in charge of the county Cheng Mingxing and the county lieutenant Shang Decai.

"The lower officials have long heard of the name of Captain Yan, and today I can see that Captain Yan is majestic and heroic, and his aura is magnificent, and he really deserves his reputation."

Cheng Mingxing of Tengxian County is an old man in his fifties, with a mediocre appearance and an ordinary temperament, except for a rare surname, he has no other performance, just an ordinary county official.

Yan Kui talked with him for a few words, and found that the only thing that this Ming County Cheng can praise is that he has a good fart.

is the county lieutenant next to him, Shang Decai, although the name is a bit vulgar, but the bearing of the whole body looks like a veteran soldier who has been in the army for many years, resolute and calm.

Yan Kui inquired, and as he expected, this Shang County Lieutenant had been in the border army for more than ten years, and I heard that he used to be a middle-level general, but later offended the nobles, and was demoted several levels, and was assigned to Teng County as the Captain of Bapin County.

It is said that this Shang county lieutenant was very excluded in Teng County, and he had been here for half a year, and he had not yet mastered the military power in his hands.

What's even more interesting is that Liu Liang, the head of Teng County, is the in-law of the Guo family, and Guo Fu, the eldest young master of the Guo family, is Liu Liang's second son-in-law............
