Zhao Shi talked eloquently, mainly mentioning three aspects: first, there are too many new pawns, almost no systematic training; second, there is a shortage of ordnance, which is difficult to fundamentally solve in the short term; Third, officers at all levels lack experience in commanding operations, and in the past they were accustomed to fighting alone, but now they are just chasing ducks to the shelves, and their loyalty is there, but they cannot achieve the effect of commanding the troops like an arm to the commander. Fourth, it is too risky to defend a corner alone, without reinforcements.

After all, Zhao Shi is a hundred households in the scout team, and he has personally reconnoitred and fought many times, this vision is there, Yu Zhilong listened and thought about it, and remembered it one by one.

After Zhao Shi finished speaking, he saw Yu Zhilong pondering, and then asked: "Last night, according to the order of the lord, this morning, except for the two hundred households team that patrolled and swept in the city, the rest of the departments were all outside the city for training, this time our army captured a lot of prisoners in the city, and all of them were temporarily concentrated and detained outside the city. ”

"What is the number of prisoners?"

"After the early morning count, the Han army was about two hundred and five, and the Monse soldiers were more than thirty. By noon, the Side Office had reported that more than 20 Tartar fugitives had been captured in the city, and presumably there were still some escapees in the city, and the eradication should be basically completed by this evening. ”

"These Han soldiers should not be added to our department for the time being, and he will decide after I tell Liu Da to be in charge, as for those Meng Se prisoners, they can be ordered to do some labor and miscellaneous work for our department, and it is up to Liu Da to decide whether to kill or stay in the future."

"The formation of the cavalry is basically completed, but who the main general is, it still needs to be decided by the adults as soon as possible!"

"I'm hesitating about this matter, it's hard to determine the candidate, I don't know if Brother Shi has any suggestions?"

Zhao Shi hesitated slightly, the candidate for the chief general of the cavalry army was really difficult to choose for a while, the old brothers in the original scout team were all born immediately, and they were basically good in terms of personal combat skills and bravery, and they had the deepest understanding of horse nature and the deepest experience of galloping horses, compared with Ji Xiancheng, Chang Zhi, Mu Chun, Luo Cheng and others, they had a lot of advantages. If you want to be the first choice, the range of eight achievements is here, in fact, Yu Zhilong has privately consulted Zhao Shi a few days ago, according to Yu Zhilong's initial idea, Zhao Shi is the most suitable candidate, whether it is from the degree of closeness, or equestrian, combat skills, team experience, etc., Zhao Shi should be the first, Zhao Shi is also good for serving as the main general, but since yesterday's successful capture of the city, Yu Zhilong changed his mind.

If Linqu County is not taken, the troops will naturally continue to fight, now that there is a foundation, recruitment is estimated to start soon, the strength of each department will be expanded, Yu Zhilong's department is no exception, if Zhao Shi is the chief general of the cavalry, even if he is his deputy, his main energy must only be put on the formation and training of the cavalry, and other aspects will inevitably not be taken into account, such a large team let Yu Zhilong alone, Yu Zhilong does not have much confidence.

Therefore, Yu Zhilong decided to keep Zhao Shi as his deputy, and the candidate for the commander of the cavalry army was selected separately.

Zhao Shi is straightforward and bold, and he often does not involve personal affairs when facing major events, he thought about it carefully and said: "Since my lord continues to take me as his deputy, my subordinates think that this candidate is still chosen by the old brothers, after all, everyone is already familiar with each other's horseback fighting, although in the past, most of them did more exploration, and there were few head-to-head confrontations with the enemy in formation, but fortunately, I have also seen and led the Tartars' military formations and cavalry before, and I have a good reference?" ”

"And the cavalry is the blade of our department, when the two armies clash, rush to break the enemy, tear the enemy's formation, gallop back and forth to find fighters, expand the results of the battle, etc., all have great responsibilities, this candidate in addition to ability, character should also be resolute and unyielding, dare to fight without fear of death."

"In addition, most of our troops are new soldiers, and the morale of the army is unstable, and this chief general still wants the most loyal people!"

The last sentence Zhao Shi said euphemistically, the candidate is very important, but the degree of loyalty is one of the aspects that must be considered.

Yu Zhilong nodded secretly, and the two of them had the same thoughts. This cavalry will be his iron fist, and he must firmly hold it in his own hands, and he originally chose Zhao Shi as his main general because of this factor.

The choice of the original scout team old brothers as the main general, is not to distrust Ji Xiancheng, Chang Zhi and others, mainly in terms of mutual familiarity and equestrian understanding, these people are more or less lacking, as for Mu Chun, Luo Cheng, Mingxiong and others because the time of understanding is too short, according to Zhao Shi, that is, their loyalty needs to be further tested, but now what Yu Zhilong lacks is time, and the candidate for the chief general of the cavalry army must be determined as soon as possible, so as not to delay the follow-up preparation and drill.

"What Brother Shi said is that I intend to have Brother Shi prepare for the cavalry first, and during this period, all departments will participate in the drill, and in the end, the main thing is to decide the candidates based on the performance of the generals, how about it?"

"At your command." Zhao Shi said.

The two continued to discuss how to train the soldiers and how to prepare for the construction, and as they were talking, a personal guard came in to pay respects: Liu Zhengfeng passed on the two of them to enter the city to discuss matters.

This is the first time that Liu Zhengfeng has convened the leaders of various families since entering the city last night, Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi did not dare to slack off, and sent Huang Er, Ji Xiancheng, etc., so that they continued to lead their subordinates to build camps, or carry out drills, and then took Sun Xing and a few personal guards to ride into the city.

After dawn today, Zhao Shi sent several scouts to the direction of Yidu City to investigate, and there has been no news back so far, but the army is dispatched, and there are a lot of preparations, even if Yidu City is less than a hundred miles away, it is difficult to prepare for two or three days, so the role of Zhao Shi sending scouts is mainly prevention.

Yu Zhilong and others rode into the city slowly, the city gate has not been lifted, everyone continued to move forward, passing by several street corners in a row and found that the walls were pasted with notices to enter the city, on which the military orders to restrain the army were clearly written, and from time to time on the road saw clusters of drunk soldiers who were staggering. Some passers-by who were watching saw Yu Zhilong and others passing by on horseback with knives, except for a few people who bowed their heads in fear, most of the residents avoided and whispered to them.

In the distance, a soldier hurried over on horseback, saw Yu Zhilong, and when he arrived, he dismounted and gave a salute, and personally led everyone to the beggar's mansion.

Because the beggar abandoned the house and fled, after Liu Zhengfeng entered the city, the most prosperous and exquisite mansion in the city belonged to Liu Zhengfeng, and Liu Zhengfeng before he moved in, Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan had removed a piece of gold and silver, but the amount and value of the property left behind was still quite huge, Liu Zhengfeng was stunned after seeing it for the first time, but he didn't expect this Daru Huachi's furniture to be so rich. In particular, the income of the county treasury is abundant, and the grain is like a small mountain, so the capital for expanding the army in the future is not worried!

In addition to being happy, Liu Zhengfeng gave part of the gold, silver, silk, and jade in the beggar's house to the generals of the various departments on the spot, and as soon as the morning dawned, the leaders of the various departments also rewarded their subordinates and allowed their soldiers to move freely in the city. In the end, there was what Yu Zhilong saw and heard in the city at noon.

By the time Yu Zhilong and his entourage arrived at the beggar's mansion, most of the leaders had already gathered in the hall to discuss excitedly. This is the first time they have laid down a county, and the harvest is naturally quite rich, especially after receiving the county treasury, which has just collected the county's autumn harvest taxes, silk cloth, and silk cloth into the treasury, and has not yet been deported to Yidu Road.

When Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan stood behind Liu Zhengfeng, they looked at each other, and snickered in their hearts, last night the two of them had made a lot of money in the beggar mansion, and then hurriedly came to receive the county treasury, and found that the gold and silver here were more abundant, and they couldn't help but secretly transport a few boxes from it, and then covered all the library doors and handed them over to Liu Zhengfeng. The two didn't know that Yu Zhilong had thoroughly checked the county treasury account books and checked the physical details.

Seeing Yu Zhilong enter the hall, everyone stood up and greeted him, and the chaos was very lively. Everyone knows that Yu Zhilong made a big effort this time, even people who used to look at him unpleasantly or red-eyed felt that Yu Zhilong was much more durable at this time.

Liu Zhengfeng happily came over and pulled Yu Zhilong to sit beside him, Zhao Shi followed him in, Sun Xing and others chatted with other leaders' soldiers outside the hall, Sun Xing and others fought to the death last night, although dozens of people were broken successively, especially the battle of the city tower was even more tragic, but it killed more enemies, and finally insisted on Yu Zhilong and others entering the city, the battle situation has now spread throughout the whole army, Sun Xing, Luo Cheng and others stick to it, and are naturally admired by the sergeants and pawns of the army.

"This time I entered the city, and the seizures were rich, and everyone contributed, especially the strikers of our army and others who made great contributions! This time, Yu Leader, Liu Leader, and Ma Leader were meritorious, among which Yu Leader secretly arranged earlier, infiltrated the internal response, coordinated the matter, skillfully seized the city gate, and held on until the arrival of the vanguard, and the credit was the greatest! What do you think? Liu Zhengfeng spoke first.

"What the big boss said is that the credit of the Sun Xing brothers and others is not said! Yu Leader is naturally the first credit! Everyone in the audience spoke one after another, and there was no objection.

"This time, all the property in the county treasury is what I have obtained, except for what has been distributed today, I intend to give the rest ten points and divide it among the brothers, I and the Liu Qi brothers and the Zhanshan brothers each take one of them, and the rest will be divided equally among the leaders of each family, what do you think?" Liu Zhengfeng said the distribution plan, and Liu Qi and Qin Zhanshan immediately responded: "No problem, just do it!" ”

The three big leaders expressed their attitude, and the rest of the small leaders felt that it was fair and agreed, while Yu Zhilong asked, "I wonder if the big boss will divide all the property in the county treasury this time?" ”

"That's natural, I, Liu, will never hide my selfishness! If you like what your brother likes, you can choose first! ”

"The big boss is too worried. What I mean is that since our army has already conquered the county seat of Linqu, it will take this as the foundation in the future, and continue to attack the surrounding areas in the future, and this county town must be firmly controlled by us. If it is controlled, it is absolutely not feasible to rely on swords and horses alone, and this is a major matter to govern the county. But we are all rough people, and it is not a problem to go to war, but how to govern the county requires those experienced officials. I entered the city last night in advance, and captured the county Yin, the chief bookkeeper, and most of the errands, and seeing that the county Yin and others in this city were quite talented, I decided to keep all of them, and in order to prevent changes, I also detained all the county Yin, the chief bookkeeper and other family members in the county office. The subordinates thought that since they were asked to do things, they should be given a monthly salary to support their families, and if all the property of the county treasury was distributed, these people would not be able to settle down in the future, and they would naturally refuse to do things, and they were afraid of different aspirations after a long time. Moreover, the county treasury should also keep some financial reserves in case of future people's livelihood and military needs, and ask the big boss and all the brothers to think twice. ”

After Yu Zhilong finished speaking, he waited for Liu Zhengfeng and others to make a decision. Liu Zhengfeng and others knew that Yu Zhilong had captured the county Yin and other officials, and thought that Yu Zhilong was going to torture him, extort money, and take the opportunity to make more money. Unexpectedly, Yu Zhilong turned out to be this idea. Not only will they not be tortured and demanded, but they will also be retained and distributed to Yulu, which is the first time everyone has encountered this kind of thing.
