As a Xinfeng County Cheng, Chen Wannian has been busy recently.

I was busy weighing myself yesterday, and I actually gained three pounds......

"I can't go to the banquet anymore......" Chen Wannian said to himself in the bronze mirror: "If it goes on like this, it will make His Highness and Zhang Shizhong dislike!" ”

As a county leader, Chen Wannian is now full of a sense of crisis.

Because......

The people below are so capable!

In the township pavilions of Xinfeng, it is simply a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!

Wang Ji, the Qiangfu of Linwei Township, was directly released by Zhang Shizhong to serve as the commander of Lintong County, and after only a month in office, he praised the whole county, regardless of the gentry and nobles, they were obedient.

And there are as many people as Wang Ji's ability as many as six in Xinfeng County!

Not to mention Hu Jian, Sang Jun, and Ding Zhuan, who have outstanding abilities in their respective fields.

On the contrary, it is his status and ability that are becoming more and more embarrassing.

In particular, the Xinfeng system is about to expand, from one county to four counties.

Maybe in the future, he can surpass Jing Zhaoyi.

And this period of time is an extremely critical node.

As an official fan, Chen Wannian dreams of climbing up!

He didn't want to be a laughing stock.

If it is the future, Xinfeng up and down, all have been ascension to heaven, two thousand stones are running all over the ground, and the liehou will grasp it.

As far as he is a county officer, he is still a county prince.

That would be tragic.

He knew very well that his ability was far inferior to those elites who were too learned.

The potential is even more that the horse can't catch up with bugs like Wang Ji and Gong Yu.

People never forget, they can draw inferences from one another, they have strong receptivity, and their eloquence, mind and ambition are far beyond the comparison of official fans like him who just want to be promoted.

In terms of making money and settling accounts, it is not as good as Sang Jun and his strong officials in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau.

Fortunately......

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, Chen Wanqing said in a young voice: "Fortunately, this official has always been obedient......"

That's the only advantage he can find for himself.

All orders from Zhang Shizhong will be obeyed with all their might; All the will of His Royal Highness the eldest grandson will be fully implemented.

Don't distinguish between right and wrong, don't think, focus on execution.

Therefore, for half a year, his county status and the position of Xinfeng's No. 3 person have not moved.

Tie the ribbon around his waist, Chen Wannian put on his crown hat, walked out of the door, and came to the county government compound.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Chen Wannian saw an old man with a dove cane, supported by two young people, trembling from the main gate of the county office.

Suddenly, Chen Wannian's eyebrows jumped.

For any county and township official at the grassroots level of the Han family, what he is most afraid of is this kind of old man with a dove cane.

Because, no one can be offended!

Just as he was about to run away, he heard the old man's voice coming: "Chen Xiancheng, Hugh is going to hide from the old man again!" ”

When Chen Wannian heard this, he smiled bitterly, lifted the ribbon, stepped forward, and bowed respectfully with a disciple: "How dare you hide from your predecessors?" ”

"Old General Xu, the chief of Xinfeng (river crab), His Royal Highness Zhang Shizhong and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, all regard adults as the teachers of the township pavilion, and it is too late for the lower officials to greet them, how can they deliberately hide from the old general?"

The person who came snorted twice and said to Chen Wannian: "If this is the case, then it will be good!" ”

"County Cheng, the old man asked you - Xinfeng County soldiers, when will they recruit soldiers?"

"Old general...... Please come in......" Chen Wannian lowered his head and waited for the old man carefully: "Zhang Shizhong and His Royal Highness the eldest grandson are also coming back soon, at that time, why don't the old general ask in person?" ”

"That's it!" The old man held the dove cane in his hand and stepped forward: "The old man is here to wait for His Royal Highness the Servant and the eldest grandson!" ”

Chen Wannian hurriedly smiled and said: "The lower officials are waiting for the old general to enter the county government to rest......

But he was pushed away by the old man: "The county has its own official business, so you don't have to waste time on the old man!" ”

"That'...... The lower official sent someone to serve the old general...... Chen Wannian bowed deeply, watched the old man, and with the support of his children, he walked into the side hall of the Xinfeng County Ya with familiarity.

……………………………………

After watching the game, Zhang Yue and Liu Jin drove back to the county seat.

Today, a road paved with gravel and sand has been built between Huiqu Ranch and Xinfeng County.

Therefore, the time to travel back and forth between the ranch and the county seat has been greatly reduced.

It only took a quarter of an hour for Zhang Yue and his entourage to return to the county office.

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhang Yue saw that at the gate of the county office, Chen Wannian seemed to be scratching his head and looking at something.

"Chen County Cheng ......" Zhang Yue stepped forward and asked, "Why are you looking at the gate of the county government?" ”

When Chen Wannian saw Zhang Yue, he immediately stepped forward and bowed: "Waiting, General Xu is here......

When Zhang Yue heard this, he also frowned: "Or is it for the recruitment of county soldiers?" ”

Chen Wannian nodded.

It just so happened that at this time, Liu Jin, who was also surrounded by the guards, walked over, heard the conversation between the two, and asked, "Is it General Xu in Yangli?" ”

Chen Wannian hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Royal Highness, it is the old general Xu in Yangli!" ”

"Oh......" Liu Jin listened, his expression was solemn, and he said: "The old general came to the county office, and he went to visit and pay respects alone!" ”

"Your Highness...... Let's ...... slowly" Zhang Yue hurriedly grabbed Liu Jin and said, "The minister and His Highness will go with ......"

Xu Rong, the third elder in Yangli, is now the most well-known and respected old man in Xinfeng.

Not only because he was old enough, but not only because he had worshiped the Son of Heaven, praised the Son of Heaven, and bestowed a dove scepter.

is also because of the respect of Zhang Yue and Liu Jin.

In addition to building water conservancy, promoting millet seedlings, and building workshop gardens, Xinfeng's policy is to eliminate interference and occupy the moral high ground.

Xinfeng up and down, big and small affairs, every time there is interest, will consult and consult the opinions of the three elders from all over the country.

The degree of democratization and the depth of the three elders' participation in politics and discussion are the highest in the Han family!

It is precisely because of this that although many people criticize and attack some of Xinfeng's policies, no one dares to fully deny everything about Xinfeng.

Even the most stubborn people have to admit that 'Xinfeng's pension, respect for the elderly, respect for the elderly, quite a three-generation style, the ancient legacy is also! ’。

Not to mention, Zhang Yue also asked the township pavilions to establish and improve the village rules and township covenants.

This is even more of a hymn.

Both the modern and ancient schools of literature feel that this is a good thing.

However, there are two sides to everything.

Just like now, the enthusiasm of the three local elders of Xinfeng for participating in the affairs of the county has never been higher.

Whatever it is, I want to express my opinion and share my opinion.

Some are very easy to speak, and the government does the work, even if they don't agree, they will help the government speak.

But others are more stubborn and difficult to convince.

For example, this old general Xu......

…………………………

Zhang Yue followed Liu Jin, entered the county office, and under the guidance of Chen Wannian, came to the side hall.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the three elders of Yangli who I met when I first came to Xinfeng for inspection, sitting upright in the guest seat, pretending to sleep and recuperate.

Hearing the footsteps, the old general opened his eyes, and then immediately stood up with the support of his disciples, greeted Liu Jin, and bowed his hand: "Xu Ronggong, the old minister of the mountains and fields, asks His Royal Highness the eldest grandson ......."

"Respectfully ask Zhang Shizhong'an ......"

Liu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed with a disciple's salute and said: "The old general is quickly exempt from the courtesy, and he should not be the general's courtesy......"

Zhang Yue also bowed: "The old general has tormented the juniors, in front of the general, how dare the juniors be big?" ”

So, the two took the place of Xu Rong's disciple, one left and one right, and sat down with the old man in the county, and then Liu Jin was like a disciple, and asked kindly: "The old general is not in Yangli Nafu, why did he come to the county office?" ”

"Your Royal Highness's love, the old minister is inscribed!" Xu Rong smiled, enjoying this treatment very much, he glanced at Zhang Yue, and said: "The old minister is here to ask Zhang Shizhong, when will this Xinfeng County soldier recruit soldiers?" How much do you want to raise......"

Zhang Yue listened, and hurriedly smiled: "Why should the old general come in person on this matter, send a son and nephew to send a letter to him, and the younger generation will naturally give a reply......"

Liu Jin also said: "What Zhang Qing said is very true! The old general is very old, how can he be tired? ”

He looked at the children of Yangli on the left and right, and reprimanded: "In the future, if the old general has something to do, you will come to Xinfeng County for the old general to find a lonely person!" ”

"No!" The left and right disciples hurriedly complied.

Xu Rong laughed, then stared at Zhang Yue and asked, "Zhang Shizhong, the old question, the prince has not answered yet!" ”

Zhang Yue listened and felt a little headache.

This veteran general is good at everything, but his mind is full of militaristic ideas and mountain interests.

Since the news spread that Xinfeng was going to train the county soldiers, the old general had repeatedly recommended his soldiers of the Yuyu Society to Zhang Yue.

The opening of the mouth is 'Three hundred children of the Yuyu Society, willing to serve the service!' ’。

The Yuyu Society, especially the children of Yangli, naturally have nothing to say about their physical fitness and tactical literacy. But Xinfeng's county soldiers are only a total of one Sima's establishment.

The young people of the Yuyu Society have all been recruited, and the people of Linwei Township, Xinfeng Township and Li Township must have opinions!

After thinking about it slightly, Zhang Yue said to Xu Rong: "The old general has been fighting horses for decades, and he has endured the battlefield for a long time, and he should know that since ancient times, it is the new army that defeats the old army, and the new law beats the old law!" ”

"Wu Zi made Wei a strong man with a military pawn, and when he met the sharp soldiers of Shang Jun, he was defeated for thousands of miles......"

"Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu cavalry, Zhao Zhi's light cavalry, vertical and horizontal, but defeated by the hands of Bai Qi, the Battle of Changping, 400,000 Zhao troops fought without ......"

"The old one, the Xiongnu Ji Congee clan, led the beasts to eat people, controlled 400,000 strings, coerced China, and defeated the heroes of the world, so that Gaozu had the shame of Pingcheng, and Empress Lu was humiliated by the book, and Changping Liehou, the champion Jing Henghou, swept the south of the curtain with a strong crossbow and a sharp sword, and swept the south of the curtain with a strategy of 100,000 armor horses, so that the Huns shrank to the north of the curtain and survived for a long time......"

However, in the past 20 years, under the planning of the rebel ministers Zhao Xin and Wei Lu, the Huns trained their troops with Han law and used Han swords as weapons, and their combat power increased greatly! There are many things about the king's invincibility, defeat, and destruction......"

"Therefore, the younger generation thinks that now, if China wants to win the Xiongnu again, it must use a new army!"

Xu Rong listened, nodded and said, "The words of the servant are even in line with the art of war!" ”

"It's just...... The old man dares to ask, what kind of tactics does the new army in the service want to use? ”

"Of course, it is the ...... that is the best of China and the shortest of Yidi," Zhang Yue said softly: "Junior, I plan to equip the cavalry with a riding bow that can shoot a bow on a horse......"

Anyway, I can't hide this matter.

When Xinfeng's county soldiers start training, everyone will know, what kind of army is it?

Therefore, Zhang Yue did not hide his selfishness, and said: "Shiyun: The bow with the horn of the dragon, the bow of the first king, there is a difference between length and shortness, and the short one is also a horn bow!" The younger generation is not talented, and plans to develop a long-range and penetrating bow on the basis of the horn bow of the former king......"

Xu Rong listened and asked, "Serving the prince, isn't it an old man pouring cold water......

"It's just that there is no one in a hundred who can shoot a bow on horseback!"

"Even if it is a Huns, it is unique to its condor shooter, so it can master this skill!"

"Times change!" Zhang Yue chuckled: "I couldn't before, it doesn't mean that I can't now, I can't in the future!" ”

Xu Rong listened and immediately knew that he was afraid that the country had broken through a certain technology and obtained new equipment, which could meet the needs of horseback bows.

Thinking of this, he immediately became interested and asked, "How many soldiers do you plan to recruit for the new army in the service?" ”

"The number of recruits, let's not mention ...... for the time being" Zhang Yue said: "The old general must also know the truth that soldiers are expensive but not too expensive!" ”

"The younger generation plans to use the system of the six captains of the Northern Army as a model to train the new army......"

"Therefore, the requirements for soldiers are relatively high......"

"The height is not less than seven feet three inches, the weight is not less than two hundred and forty pounds, and the three stone bows can be fired at least ten times...... In addition, they must be literate and able to do arithmetic ......"

Xu Rong listened, but his eyes widened, and he asked, "Sixth Captain of the Northern Army?" ”

Zhang Yue nodded: "The sixth captain of the Northern Army!" ”

Liu Jin listened beside him, a little suspicious, and asked, "Zhang Qing, what is the special system of the sixth lieutenant of the Northern Army?" ”

"Your Highness......" Zhang Yue looked at Liu Jin and explained: "In the minister's opinion, the system and organizational design of the six captains of the Northern Army can be called the pinnacle of the development of China's military system since Sun Wu!" ”

"Almost perfect, Your Majesty's design, jaw-dropping!"

"Your Highness should know that since Yuanguang, the six captains of the Northern Army, every time there is a big war, there are edicts to go out......"

Liu Jin nodded: "Lonely Knowledge, since Yuanguang, the country has used troops, and in case of a big war, one or more of the six captains will be sent out!" ”

"But what's so strange about that?"

In the eyes of the world, the prestige of the six captains of the Northern Army is naturally familiar, but few people know why these six captains have made a name for themselves and played a good show!

Why are these forbidden armies performing more beautifully on the battlefield than those field standing armies on the side?

"Then Your Highness probably doesn't know, the sixth lieutenant of the Northern Army has no more than 2,000 people...... Zhang Yue said softly: "And once you are ordered to go out and go to the battlefield, it often becomes an army of 10,000 or even tens of thousands of people......"

Liu Jin looked at Zhang Yue incredulously when he listened: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Indeed!" Zhang Yue bowed.

Xu Rong also said: "That's the case! ”

"In the minister's opinion, the system used by the six captains of the Northern Army should be called: the invisible army ......"

"There are 2,000 people in peacetime, and the training is strengthened every day, and the soldiers are trained as officers......"

"Once something happens, it can be expanded several times, or even tenfold, in an instant!"

"The magic of governing the army, no one in the world can live the Son of Heaven!"
