"My lord, Wuyi County has arrived."

After a few days of marching, with the people and people gathered along the way, and with the prisoners who defeated the rebels, Zhang Qiang finally arrived at his destination, Wuyi County.

Zhang Qiang saw that the city wall of Wuyi County was low, the wall ash was peeling, the wall bricks fell to the ground, there were many gaps, the city gate tower was missing a corner, there were no soldiers standing guard at the door, and there were no people from the county government to greet them.

"Have you ever found out if there are enemy troops stationed inside?" Zhang Qiang said to Hu Kui.

According to some people who are still alive, the Qing army crossed the border, and many of the young and strong people were captured, or fled, leaving only the old and weak, women, and children, and the current population is about 2,000."

Zhang Qiang heard it, "Forget it, let's go to the city!" ”

The small 4,000 people opened the city in the numb eyes of the old and weak in the county seat.

Zhang Qiang took the guards and troops directly into the county office, which is the most complete and the largest and best place in Wuyi County.

As for Zhang Qiang's four subordinates, Zhou Cong, Hu Kui, Xuanyuan Longfei, and Wei Wuji, they took some people selected from the common people to serve as their subordinates, and found the courtyards of large landlords and squires near the four city gates, and were responsible for the defense of the four city gates.

You Haibo took his family to find the county school as a station, stationed in the city, patrolling the streets.

After everything was settled, Zhang Qiang ordered the pro-army to beat the drum and ascend to the hall and point the generals.

The four subordinates and You Haibo came to the county government hall.

Zhang Qiang's four subordinates have no experience in governance, and You Haibo can manage a big family, which shows that he has some ability, so Zhang Qiang said to You Haibo: "Brother You, we are all vulgar soldiers, and you have to take care of everything in this county government, are you willing?" ”

You Haibo was excited, stood up tremblingly, bowed his head, and bowed, "Beishan You Haibo, Jinhua raised people, thank you for the grace of the adults, the students must do their best to manage the civil affairs of Wuyi County for the adults." ”

"Well, that's good."

Zhang Qiang didn't know why You Haibo changed his mind of not going into politics at this moment, and was bought by his position as a county magistrate, and was willing to bow down, but now he has no available talents in his hands, and he can only let this Ming Dynasty scholar with the highest "education" in front of him serve as the county magistrate.

While stroking the armrests of the dusty yellow rosewood official hat chair, while looking up at the county government hall, Zhang Qiang said casually:

"As for your henchmen, you can appoint a trustworthy henchman to lead them, and you think that one of your henchmen can lead those henchmen?"

You Haibo was stunned, Zhang Qiang smiled, this is obviously Zhang Qiang's temptation of him, see if he is willing to hand over power, let him be the magistrate, but can't let him still have soldiers in his hands, his family is a good soldier who has fought bloody battles in Jinhua, for Zhang Qiang's state of few elite soldiers at the moment, Zhang Qiang of course needs to hold more elite soldiers in his hands.

It took a long time for You Haibo to react, perhaps after a complicated mental struggle, he bowed down calmly and replied: "Ding Duge, the inner courtyard family next to Xiaguan, can take on this heavy responsibility. ”

Zhang Qiang calmly fiddled with some of the flags used by the county order in the county government hall, and ordered arrows, and did not look at You Haibo, "This person's resume is for me." ”

You Haibo replied calmly:

"This person used to be a hundred households in Yulin, and then because of the discord between Shangguan, he was dissatisfied with Shangguan's deduction of military salaries, resulting in the death of his wife and children at home, and in a fit of anger, he injured Shangguan on a rainy night and fled to the south. Later, due to illness, coiled exhausted, when there was nothing to rely on, he was brought back by my housekeeper, I saw him as an upright, strong martial arts, brave and good at fighting, took him in at home to recuperate his wounds, and gave favors, after that, he knew how to repay his kindness, and repeatedly repelled the robbers and bandits, and expelled the rebels who made trouble, so that the villain's family business could be preserved. ”

"Well, for this person, you will hand over the family to this person, and then leave twenty people as servants, and then go to find the previous servants, catch heads, make up fifty people, open the office, as soon as possible, my army is still waiting for you to feed."

You Haibo said: "It's my lord." ”

Zhang Qiang explained some things to the others, and met with the leader of the family introduced by You Haibo, Du Ge, who comforted the party with kind words, and after getting his affirmation, after taking these people to inspect Wuyi County.

First of all, the county government, not to say small, just say dilapidated, cold mixing, it makes people feel very helpless, the county government's treasury is clean and can run horses, and there are very few mouse holes.

"Zhou Congee, move all the materials we brought into the county treasury, especially the county, send someone to count and make a book, in addition, your office is in the county government, and this is my mansion."

"Yes, sir."

The two men replied in unison.

After the storm, there was calm, and Zhang Qiang lived a very leisurely life in the next few days, running from time to time to see the surrounding scenery, or urging his five subordinates and You Haibo to organize the people to repair the city wall.

In the war of the Cold Weapon Age, the city wall was the most important means of defending against the enemy's attack.

This can't help but make Zhang Qiang pay attention to it.

In particular, Zhang Qiang's elite troops are only more than 200 people, and the other more than 1,300 people are still newly recruited.

In the morning, the people were driven up from the barracks by Zhang Qiang and ran around the county seat, in the afternoon, the people were organized to help the people repair the city walls, houses in the city, and carry supplies, and in the evening, they were summoned by five subordinates to give lectures, say some words of loyalty to Zhang Qiang, and announce Zhang Qiang's great achievements in Jinhua Mansion.

In this way, we can gather people's hearts, so that they have something to do, and they don't have to do nothing to do and harm the people like the Ming Dynasty army.

Of course, Zhang Qiang's main energy is to train his pro-army, one hundred and fifty pro-soldiers, each of whom must be twice as young and strong, their training is all day, Zhang Qiang personally leads the army, every afternoon at least two hours of raising guns, loading, or holding muskets to fight with some people, practice group tactics, squad queue changes, has obeyed orders, charge into battle, change formation in front of the enemy and a series of basic training.

After a week of training, Zhang Qiang felt that these regular soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who had experienced a big war, a medium-sized battle, five or six small battles with more than 100 people, and more than a dozen battles to suppress bandits and capture prisoners, had become regular soldiers of the Ming Dynasty who were at least one level higher than the combat effectiveness of the ordinary Ming Dynasty guards.

Just when Zhang Qiang had just finished training these soldiers the next day, he heard the voice of the system sound, "Congratulations, you have learned the coaching skills, your current coaching skills are level 1, and you already have the ability to train the soldiers of the headquarters into a qualified regular soldier of the Ming Dynasty in a week." ”

Zhang Qiang was full of joy, didn't he say that he could casually train a group of soldiers into regular soldiers of the Ming Dynasty in a week.

With such a speed of training, others can't catch up.

But Zhang Qiang didn't know how powerful this regular soldier of the Ming Dynasty was.

"Ming regular soldiers?"

"What do you mean?"

The system replied: "It is that these soldiers are higher in combat effectiveness than those peasants who are randomly gathered in the guards, and are equivalent to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the hundreds of households in the guards. ”

"Oh."
