Chapter 250: Yang Ji Xiuqiang asked for the choice

Since ancient times, in the peaceful dynasty of great unification, to deal with this kind of local forces with underworlds, only the local bigwigs in power want to govern whether they want to govern or not, and there is no way to govern or not. If you want to govern, in a word, you can clean up these underworld forces by transferring the army, and if you don't want to govern, even if these people are arrogant, no official family will come forward to solve it.

Of course, there are many reasons for this, such as the local government needs these low-level black forces, or these black forces have bigwigs that the local government can't provoke, and when they get hints, they can only turn one eye open, close one eye, and so on. Fuquan's predecessor, Ba County Taishou, has a bad foundation, collects money everywhere, embezzles and accepts bribes, and I don't know how much money he has received from the Gan family of Linjiang Yiba, anyway, he has never killed this Gan Ning, and indulged this brocade thief to do more and more, rampant in Jing and Yi Erzhou, looting Wuji, and now, Fuquan is in charge of the military and political affairs of this Ba County, of course, he will not let this Gan Ning come again.

After discussing countermeasures with Wang Shang, Fu Quan ordered people to call other county officials to inspect the barracks in the south of the city. Even if it is a thief, the official army has a good chance of winning, and it cannot be ignored, the lion fights the rabbit, and also uses all his strength, not to mention that the other party is still a future famous general of Soochow, even if he is still an immature teenager, but Fu Quan does not dare to be careless, if he is a teenager, he will be slapped in the face, how many teenagers have you ever seen who dare to entangle a group of rangers and evil teenagers, go around robbing houses and houses, and can still confront the government?

In the barracks in the south of the city, the more than 5,000 barbarians who came to the county seat of Jiangzhou not long after coming to Bajun County, except for the more than 300 barbarians who turned into civil servants, everyone else was wearing the iron armor of the Han army, and under the command of Sima Huangzhong, the chief general of the army, they were practicing eight formations.

On the school platform, Fu Quan and his subordinates admired the formation of the five thousand barbarian soldiers under the stage, and kept nodding, this barbarian is worthy of being the best place to recruit elite soldiers, and when they returned to Jiangzhou County, they practiced for a short time, but they were already on the military formation, compared with the previous kind of free and casual, it was really too good. However, compared with the army that has been in existence for a long time in the county soldiers, this barbarian army still seems a little immature.

An army that is well-disciplined and obeys the orders of the commander-in-chief, even if it is not a strong army now, but one day, as long as their military traditions have not changed, they will one day become a strong army, and will and discipline will always be the most important foundation of a strong army.

At the end of the military training exercise, Fu Quan ordered people to summon Huang Zhong and Du Kang to inquire about the affairs of the army. Because considering that among the Ban Yu barbarians he had raised, there were nearly 2,000 people, both soldiers and civil servants, who were all people who had followed Du Kang to escape from the mountains and forests, and it would be a little inappropriate to make him a fake marquis like several other rebel commanders.

After a period of investigation, among the more than 5,000 barbarian soldiers, there was very little resentment and rebellion against the Han people, and Fuquan promoted Du Kang to the fake Sima again, and put it under the command of Sima Huangzhong. Whether it is a fake Sima or a fake military marquis, it is all a measure taken by Fuquan to appease the hearts of these barbarian soldiers, after all, if the bosses of the barbarian soldiers are all Han generals, it is difficult to say whether there will be any of them who will be disgusted and disobey the command. Now with Du Kang becoming the second-in-command of this army, other barbarians have also become fake military marquises, which undoubtedly gives these barbarians a sense of existence and belonging to the Han army on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also makes them more obedient to the command of the Han army and obey orders.

Of course, these are obviously not enough, for these barbarian soldiers, the armor and food supply Fuquan strictly ordered that they should not be deducted like the regular Han army, otherwise, the violators will be killed. In today's Han army, many generals have deducted rewards and rations, after all, most of these generals are from poor families, and they have risen by virtue of military merits, which may be like a wealthy family, not bad money, and all kinds of rewards will be more, Fuquan is so strict that he is afraid of arousing the dissatisfaction of these barbarians, if there are formed deserters in the army he recruited, it will not be good.

At the same time, Fuquan gathered the barbarians who were included in his list of scribes, personally taught them, and taught them some similar ideological education courses in the army in later generations, publicized the history of the Han Dynasty and the strength of the Han army, and let these scribes follow his teachings and talk to their people to improve the thinking and loyalty of these barbarians. In fact, this can be regarded as a way to brainwash the soldiers of the army in later generations, but it was adapted by Fuquan, in order to make these barbarians satisfied with the Han army, obey the Han army, and even treat themselves as Han people, and finally really follow the customs of the countryside and become Han people.

This sounds a little simple and abnormal, but Fu Quan did it, from the later generations, of course he knows that this is feasible, and the name Ban Yu Man has long been lost in history is proof. From the pre-Qin period to the end of the Han Dynasty, why did no one know about it later, and there were not even many recorded historical materials, not that most of the former Banyu people had merged with the Han nationality and completely disappeared between the paragraphs in the history books, isn't this the result of successful integration and brainwashing?

However, after all, it is impossible for all the Banyu barbarians who surrendered with Dukang to really surrender to the Han army forever, and they were under the compulsory order of Fuquan, no matter how unqualified the basic recruits were, they were all pulled, can they not resent in their hearts? And Fuquan sent a large number of subordinates who were themselves Banyu barbarians, and spread propaganda everywhere, just to slowly eliminate this resentment and let them use it completely for their own use.

"Huang Sima, Du Sima, and Taishou invite the two of you to enter the school to talk." A Han army herald ran down the school field and shouted to Huang Zhong and Du Kang.

Huang Zhong and Du Kang, who were named, glanced at each other, and then did not dare to delay, the two ran back to the school at the same time, and after saluting Fu Quan and the officials of the government office, they stood in the school and waited for Fu Quan to interrogate.

"Han Sheng, now the barbarian soldiers are worthy of a battle?" Fu Quan looked at Huang Zhong and hurriedly asked, this was what he was most concerned about at this time.

"No! The training time is too short, and the soldiers are brave and brave, but it is difficult to take on a big task. Huang Zhong replied cautiously, he saw Fu Quan asking about the combat strength of the Ban Yu barbarian army, for fear that Fu Quan would be angry.

However, it was obvious that Huang Zhong thought about it, and Fu Quan did not blame after hearing this, but turned his head to look at Du Kang and asked: "Du Junhou, in the winter of previous years, Ban Yu went into the mountains to hunt, but is there such a thing?" ”

Although Du Kang didn't understand why Fu Quan asked himself about this, he still replied carefully: "It is true, in the winter of previous years, there was not much food in the clan, in order to fill the stomach, there were often clansmen into the mountains to hunt, Kang also entered the mountains, that day the weather was cold and frozen, we caught a wild boar at that time, fierce and abnormal, weighing about two hundred catties, and several people with it took a lot of effort to kill it. ”

"Are there any dead or wounded?"

"There were a few minor injuries, but no one died."

"En", Fu Quan responded, his face suddenly appeared happy, and then he looked at Huang Zhong: "I don't know how long it will take for Hansheng to train the soldiers?" ”

"Half a month is enough."

"Good!"

After a reply, Fu Quan ordered the two to leave, which made Huang Zhong and Du Kang quite puzzled. After all, the barbarian army is actually better than the chaotic soldiers, and the "eight formations" formation is much more standardized than before, but it still takes some time to become a qualified Han army, after all, an army is not successful just by having a formation, and they are still too bad.

However, Huang Zhong and Du Kang didn't know why Fu Quan asked this, but among Fu Quan's subordinates in the county office, there were smart people who could hear some flavor from the question he had just asked. For example, his main bookkeeper Wang Mou, and his facial features Peng Qin Mi, were all scanning back and forth on Taishou Fuquan and Peng Shi Wang Shang beside him at the moment, and they were very sure that the county office must have made a big move in winter, but it was unknown what it was.

Wang Shang did not mention this matter to anyone before he asked to see Fuquan and proposed to crusade against the brocade thieves, for Wang Shang, who had just been promoted to the county office, this crusade against the Linjiang brocade thieves was the first thing he did when he took up the high position of the county bureau, and of course he had to shock everyone. And Fu Quan was also in order to keep it secret, afraid that there would be spies in the county office to reveal the news in advance, and after agreeing with Wang Shang that no one except for the two would talk about this matter, the people who were summoned came to the parade against the barbarian army.

At this time, Fu Quan didn't mention it, and Wang Mou and Qin Mi didn't ask about it, because they understood that Taishou didn't say it at this time, except that it was inconvenient to say it, it was just that he didn't say it at that time. If they forcibly asked, Fu Quan might have said it, but they couldn't have left a bad impression in front of Fu Quan in this way, causing them to lose trust in the future. After serving as officials for a long time, of course, they also understand that they must often speculate on Shangguan's intentions, do not ask things that should not be asked, and do not do things that should not be done, otherwise, they will lose trust in front of Shangguan in vain.

However, if these two people don't mention it, it doesn't mean that there are no other smart people in the venue, Yang Hong, the county office clerk, put down his pen, suddenly got up and saluted: "Dare to ask the prince, can you remember today's events?" How to remember? Soldiers? ”

Fu Quan's face changed after hearing this, and he glanced at the great filial son of Qianwei Wuyang introduced by Dong Fu, and secretly said in his heart that he was really famous since he was a child, unless he was a person who was famous, otherwise he had a few brushes, and he asked Huang Zhong and Du Kang a few small questions in front of them, and this person guessed that he was going to use soldiers.

Fortunately, this Yang Hong is also smart, probably knowing that he has a reason to deliberately conceal it, so he didn't ask the reason directly, but asked from the side, and everything was answered by himself. He is the record of Fuquan appointed by the record, the main record, recording the daily events in the county, equivalent to the memorandum of the county office, just now Yang Hong asked Fuquan if today's things should be recorded, how to record, record into a military category for later reference or record into other categories. In a few words, he had already guessed that Fu Quan had made a big move, but in order to take care of his face, he didn't ask directly.

The crusade against the brocade thieves is a very important matter, and of course Fu Quan can't reveal a sentence that he has already targeted Gan Ning's gang, so he just replied lightly: "Today, only the school reads the ear, don't remember more." ”

"No!" Yang Hong replied, then turned around, took out a pen, and wrote down a few words on the silk cloth he carried, which was equivalent to a draft, and when he returned to the county office, he would engrave these with a knife on the bamboo slips and put them into the file for future county office inspection.

After the two answered, Fu Quan chatted with everyone casually, and then ended today's somewhat anticlimactic military parade, which made the people who did not know the inside story puzzled, only those who suspected that there was a big event in the winter county, kept thinking about the Ban Yu barbarians who were still being trained by Huang Zhong in the school field, and wanted to find a trace from them, but it was obvious that when Fu Quan did not reveal any information about the thieves in Linjiang brocade, it was difficult for them to find useful information.

On the way back to the county office, Fu Quan and Wang Shang walked on the carriage and continued to discuss the crusade against the brocade robbers. The news I got just now is not good or bad, since Huang Zhong can ensure that the half-moon training is formed, it should be about the same, after all, in the end, these barbarian soldiers have the foundation of the battle dance of "Bayu Dance" trained in their clan, and the practice of eight formations is very fast, after all, their foundation and tacit understanding are enough, and the rest can be practiced as long as they can be familiar with the formation.

In addition, the fact that the barbarians have little impact on the combat power of the barbarians in winter has also been confirmed from Du Kang's words. Since Du Kang and the others went to the mountains to hunt a two-hundred-pound wild boar in winter, they only slightly injured a few people, which is almost no different from their usual hunting when the weather is good, which shows that they are used to hunting all year round for winter, but they do not have the taboo of the Han army to prohibit military affairs in winter.

In this way, as long as Huang Zhong has trained into a banyu barbarian army, he only needs to send these banyu barbarians who have been walking the mountains and forests all year round to send troops to suppress the thieves. Anyway, the logistics supply of about 5,000 people only needs to be prepared in the name of the county office in the name of the county office, and these grains, with their ability, should not have too much pressure to prepare, of course, the reason for allocating grain and grass will not be to suppress thieves, after all, this news is very sensitive in the base camp of the brocade robbers in Linjiang.

"It's really difficult for Yang Jixiu to be lonely, I didn't think he was so alert, if he insisted on asking, he didn't know how to answer." Fu Quan sighed, and said with a hint of fear, he was really afraid that he would leak his mouth at that time, and tell the news that he was going to deal with the brocade thieves in winter.

"The prince is relieved, Yang Jixiu and even loyal to the filial piety, the name of 'Wuyang Great Filial Son' is also heard in Yu County. Now that the prince is unwilling to talk about this matter, he will not force it, the prince is the master, he is the minister, Yang Jixiu is the most loyal person, how can he force it? Wang Shang touched his short beard and said thoughtfully.

"Even so, I don't think that Yizhou talents are so witty, if he has free time in the future, he will go to Mianzhu to thank Dong Gong for recommending talents."

"Gong Dong is a wise elder, and the prince and the prince should be like this, but the scene is just right, but let Yu choose the choice of the post?"

"Who?"

"Yang Jixiu!"

"Him?"
