Dengzhou City was attacked by bandits overnight, and the officials of the government were seven or eight out of ten, and when the people of the city were leaderless and frightened, several carriages came in outside the east gate, and then they came to the prefect's yamen.

The few remaining officials in the government were at a loss, and suddenly saw that Yan Junqing of Muping Zhixian County appeared, and suddenly had a backbone, no matter how he appeared here, they gathered around him one by one to appeal and ask for help.

And this Yan Zhixian is also a bold person, he immediately took over the affairs of the government office, while collecting Zhuang Ding of Daxieshu Island to maintain law and order, while posting official documents to appease the people, and at the same time sending people to Muping County to transfer capable people to carry out government affairs. It was only a few days later, and the city of Dengzhou gradually stabilized, that is, the barracks that was restless before, after he went twice, it was actually quiet, and he also cooperated with the arrangement of the government.

The people of Dengzhou City were greatly overwhelmed by the ability of this Yan Zhixian, and then it was rumored in the city that this Zhixian Lord was actually a second-class jinshi, and he was also a descendant of the Yan family of Jingdong's famous family, and everyone suddenly realized for a while. It is no wonder that he has such a superb ability to govern, and he has such an extraordinary background, and they can't help but think about leaving him in Dengzhou, and then I don't know who came up with the idea, and the people spontaneously wrote a letter to the people and sent it to the yamen, asking to report to the capital to appoint Lord Yan as the parent official of Dengzhou.

In just a few days, Yan Junqing placed the manpower that Liangshan Manor had prepared for a long time in all the key positions of the government, and the entire Dengzhou Mansion was operated like an iron bucket, and the needle could not be inserted into the water.

Let's say that in the small courtyard of Shili Pai, Gu Haotian, Xiao Jiasui and others have been waiting for the best opportunity to seize Dengzhou City these days, until Lehe came back from Mu Ping and Yan Junqing, Gu Haotian gave the order to seize the city.

For the people of Liangshan, Dengzhou is already an undefended city. As soon as everyone entered the city, they followed the list made in advance and removed all the obstacles one by one, paving the way for Yan Junqing's ascension. Then he left the 1,000 men of Ma Wei in the city, and the rest were withdrawn from the city.

Sun Li had met Gu Haotian the year before last, but he didn't expect to see each other again more than a year later, but he became his savior. At that time, Gu Haotian bluntly told him the purpose of his trip to Dengzhou, but Sun Li was shocked, but because he had no way out, coupled with the appearance of Shi Wengong and Luan Tingyu, he naturally surrendered to Liangshan, and then immediately went into the city to communicate with some cronies, so it was very smooth when Yan Junqing went to the military camp to pacify.

The Dengzhou Mansion was cleaned from top to bottom, and Sun Xin's hotel had no worries, and it opened openly on the same day. After being aggrieved for two days, Sister-in-law Gu was liberated all of a sudden, and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. On this day, she held a banquet in the hotel to invite Gu Haotian and Liangshan people, and also picked up Sun Li and Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, and everyone gathered together to be very lively.

Shi Wengong, as a surprise soldier last night, raided the prefect's yamen and took down Jin Zhifu and Wang Kongmu and other officials, and made a great contribution, but he was surrounded by Xu Ning, Luan Tingyu and others and poured wine. Sun Li was also a little angry as a government minister, but through contact in the past few days, he also knew that this little junior brother's subordinates were now Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, and his ability was much greater than him, and his official position was much higher than him, so he no longer had any ideas, which would warmly greet everyone to eat and drink as the host.

Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were originally hunters in the deep mountains, simple and honest, and this time they were fortunate to be rescued by the people of Liangshan to save their lives, and at this time the two followed behind Sun Xin, and came over with a wine glass to toast Gu Haotian.

"My brother

The life that can survive and avenge the great revenge depends on the great kindness of the petty officials, and we can't speak, but wherever we are useful in the future, we will give up our lives to repay each other. ”

After Xie Zhen finished speaking, the two brothers drank a full cup together. At this time, Sun Xin saw the opportunity on the side and said:

"Little official, my two brothers, although their martial arts are not too strong, but they have been hunting in the mountains and forests all the year round, but they have practiced a superhuman stunt, that is, they can walk in the mountains and forests and recognize the road, and their ability is unmatched

There is also a place for petty officials. In the past two days, they have begged me many times to tell the little official, and now it is an opportunity, so they ask the little official to arrange an errand for them. ”

"The skill of the Xie brothers just came to the special battalion, and we will use troops against Liaodong and Goryeo at the end of our manor, those two mountains are high and dense, and it is necessary to drill the forests and go deeper into the mountains to carry out surprise attacks, these things are all the work of the special battalion, and these two brothers are useful."

Shi Wengong now knows the combat methods of special forces, and when Sun Xin, who just listened to Sun Xin's introduction of the skills of the two, he immediately thought that it would be of great use to the special battalion, and he didn't wait for Gu Haotian to speak, and immediately opened his mouth to grab people.

Gu Haotian already had a good impression of the two brothers, but he didn't want to use it there originally, but after listening to Shi Wengong's words, he suddenly felt that this really gave full play to the strengths of the brothers, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

Shi Wengong was very happy to get the two of them, and the Xie brothers were also overjoyed to join the special battalion, and everyone toasted and congratulated at the moment, and the banquet was even more lively.

It wasn't until the beginning of the afternoon that the banquet dispersed. Gu Haotian pulled Xiao Jiasui, Wu Yong, and Yan Junqing to the elegant room for tea and discussion.

"The matter in Dengzhou has come to an end at this point, and the next step is to rely on Brother Yan. There are not many manpower in the manor for government affairs, and after we go back, we will also find some manpower to send them over, these people will be of great use in the future, and Brother Yan must teach them. On the military side, the five battalions of Li Bao and Ruan Shuisheng sailors will be expanded to 2,000 people, and they will be in charge of the offshore islands. In the next step, you must do three things, one is to accept the hearts of the people by giving benevolence to the people, and subtly let the people of Dengzhou identify with us and support us from the heart, so as to prepare for the future; The second is to pacify the bandits in the territory, crack down on the lawless and powerful bullies, and give the people of Dengzhou a stable living environment; The third is the two counties of Huang County and Wendeng, which should be taken down at the right time, and the officials of the two places can be inspected first, and you can strive for the integrity of our goods as much as possible, and remove all those who cannot be used by us and are morally corrupt. Strive to control the entire territory of Dengzhou as soon as possible, at the end of the year, we may have to use troops against Liaodong or Goryeo, time is pressing, Brother Yan's burden is very heavy! ”

Gu Haotian and Yan Junqing have not seen each other for more than half a year since they said goodbye to the town at night, and he had already sent someone to communicate with him in Dengzhou this time, and sent some government seedlings from Liangshan to Mu Ping for him to train. Today is the first time that the two have met in half a year, but there are too many follow-up things, and Gu Haotian has no time to talk about the past.

"The court will do what we want, otherwise my prefect will not have the right name and words, and it will be inconvenient to do things."

Yan Junqing was a little worried about this, after all, it was not an open rebellion now, in addition to Mu Ping, there were two counties below, and if there was no name from the imperial court, it would be difficult to command the movement.

Xiao Jiasui heard this but said: "Brother Yan doesn't need to worry about this matter, there is already Mr. Gongsun in the capital."

In the past, if there was really someone who didn't dare to come over, let him disappear, and after one or two, see who dared to come. ”

"This Director Xiao is bold, but I have a request here, now Dengzhou's government affairs are heavy, I can't be busy alone, if I meddle in military affairs again, I don't have the energy, not to mention that I am not familiar with this, it is better to let Mr. Xiao stay in charge of military affairs."

"Brother Yan's words are very appropriate, in the future, Director Xiao will attack the city and plunder the land in front, and you will follow up to stabilize the place, so that the two will complement each other."

As soon as Wu Yong heard Yan Junqing's suggestion, he immediately applauded.

But Xiao Jiasui said: "Why did Brother Yan pull me into the water......

"Just like Brother Yan's intentions, leave Director Xiao here for the time being, the two of you are in charge of government affairs and military affairs, and cooperate with each other, which is a perfect match."

However, Xiao Jiasui hasn't finished talking yet, and Gu Haotian has already made a decision. In fact, it was Yan Junqing's words that inspired him, in this era, civilian officials are in charge of everything, and the military and government are grasped, not to mention the other drawbacks of this system, it will be greatly discounted in terms of the combat level of the army alone, Gu Haotian suddenly thought of the military management system of later generations, so he immediately agreed to Yan Junqing's request. But he is going to communicate his ideas with Xiao Jiasui afterwards, so he will practice them here first, and then promote them in the future.

Xiao Jiasui saw that there was nothing to push, so he had no choice but to respond.

The personnel has been decided, Yan Junqing and Xiao Jiasui immediately entered the role and talked about their respective plans.

According to Yan Junqing's report, after the inventory statistics of the past two days, there are still 800,000 stone and more than 500,000 taels of silver in the inventory of Dengzhou Prefecture, and there are not a few kinds of materials. And what the Jin prefect's family got was even more amazing, it was simply a small treasury, and the total value of all kinds of treasures, gold and silver exceeded the treasury silver. In addition, Wang Kongmu's family, Maojiazhuang, and some other corrupt officials also have a lot of gains, Lin Lin finally calculated, Dengzhou alone harvested nearly two million taels of silver, and this is not counting the property of the Wang family on Xie Shu Island, as well as the treasury property of the first three counties.

Gu Haotian thought about it in his heart, and felt that only the existing assets in Dengzhou were not only enough to maintain the operation of local military and political affairs, but also to provide support for the next step in the use of troops. And as a large state, it also has its own grain tax revenues, which can form a virtuous circle if managed properly.

When this place is straightened out, the center of gravity of Liangshan Manor should be gradually shifted here! Gu Haotian couldn't help but have such thoughts in his heart. So he said:

"Dengzhou faces the sea on three sides, and only Laizhou is connected to the west, as long as it holds the western line, it is an independent kingdom. After all, Liangshan Manor is only a mountain and a lake, which cannot accommodate too many people and soldiers, and has no strategic depth, and now that the population on the mountain is close to saturation, the next step is to send the newly recruited homeless people and war horses to this side, and slowly build this place into the rear base of our manor. After the war, I took Sun Li and Zou Yuan back to the manor for training, and then made arrangements according to the situation in the future. The four battalions of infantry, cavalry, and water that remained here were under the unified command of Director Xiao. This is the first state we have taken, you two have to manage it carefully, and if there is a mistake on the side of Liangshan Manor in the future, this is the last way to retreat. ”

Xiao Jiasui and Yan Junqing saw the solemnity of what Gu Haotian said, and they responded together. Subsequently, the four of them discussed the military and political affairs of Dengzhou in detail, and roughly decided on a rough plan.

It wasn't until sunset that the four of them came out of the room, and it was already full of sunset, and everyone looked at the magnificent scenery, thinking about the magnificent foundation that had begun, and couldn't help but be full of pride.
