Under Liu Qian's busy work in the morning, Liu Qian finally went smoothly and made up the number of officers and soldiers in the county. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although this group of people looks like a rabble, as long as the number of people is enough, the others can't manage so much.

Besides, as long as this group of people doesn't speak, it's not a big problem to change this group of people into military uniforms and fool the people in Yin He County, a county that doesn't know soldiers.

However, what Liu Qian didn't know was that at the end of last month, the county lieutenant of Yingshang County and his 100 household officials did the same, and then the county lieutenant was "martyred". But I don't know what will happen to Liu Qian, who also does this?

At the beginning of the afternoon, that is, at one o'clock in the future, on the streets of Taihe County, a group of officers and soldiers with a number of about 300 people, under the leadership of Liu Qian, the county lieutenant, and three hundred household officials, "full of momentum" left the north gate of the county seat and marched towards Xucheng Town in the north.

And behind the team of officers and soldiers in the county who were "full of momentum", the three former archers of the inspection department dressed as low-level people also quietly followed behind the team of this group of officers and soldiers without anyone paying attention, and followed this group of officers and soldiers out of the north gate of the county seat and went to Xucheng Town in the north of the county seat.

Li Wu and the three of them quietly followed behind the ranks of officers and soldiers, and watched the actions of this group of officers and soldiers along the way and the marching columns, Li Wu couldn't help but say to the other two people beside him with a look of disdain: "My lord once told me that the officers and soldiers in the county are all rabble, and they can only bully men and women and are useless. ”

The adult Li Wu is naturally Zhang Shihua, and unlike the four of them, Li Wu and they call Zhang Shihua in private, and prefer to call Zhang Shihua an adult, rather than a young master.

And if you look at the pair of officers and soldiers of nearly 300 people, you can know why Li Wu said that.

Just looking at these 300 people, if it weren't for the fact that all of them were wearing military uniforms and waving the banner of officers and soldiers, outsiders would really not be able to see that such a group of guys would actually be a group of "officers and soldiers."

How to say it, if outsiders take a look at this group of officers and soldiers, then the first impression they get is not the iron-blooded temperament of the soldiers, but "chaos". Yes, the first impression of this group of "officers and soldiers" is that it is chaotic, and they do not feel neat at all when they walk on the road, and looking at the queue set up by this group of officers and soldiers, Li Wu even feels that when he first went to the battlefield, the group of robbers he encountered was much more neat than this group of officers and soldiers in the queue.

Moreover, this group of so-called officers and soldiers is not only chaotic, but also disorganized. Because Liu Qian added 200 more officers and soldiers in order to make up the number, and it was precisely because of these 200 people that the order of the original 100 officers and soldiers was completely destroyed.

You must know that when the army is marching, the commander must be with nine of his own soldiers, and the centurion must also be with the hundred officers and soldiers under his command, because only in this way can the commander command the army like an arm, and no accidents will happen. And only in this way will the soldiers below have a backbone when fighting, and the orders they receive are clear and clear, and the soldiers will naturally not feel flustered when fighting against the enemy.

But the approach of this group of officers and soldiers did not follow this at all, and those who were used to make up the numbers did not know how to march and fight. And because some of them are relatives of officers and soldiers, and some are directly idlers and scoundrels on the street and so-called gang members. Naturally, there would be no such thing as a commander to command them within them.

Therefore, when this group of people is marching in the army, the relatives of those officers and soldiers will naturally be with their relatives. And the group of idlers and gang members naturally gathered according to the intimacy of personal relations, and in this way, they naturally destroyed the command of the officers and soldiers.

So much so that when this group of officers and soldiers were marching, the chief didn't know where the other people in his group were, and the hundred household officials couldn't tell which people were the soldiers they led, and the soldiers couldn't even find their own commanders, let alone be able to hear the military orders above.

What's even more ridiculous is that there are 300 officers and soldiers, and they don't even send a pioneer scout to explore the road. You must know that in this era, an army without scouts is like a man without eyes, because he has no idea what is happening in front of him, and if a robber appears in front at this time, then this group of officers and soldiers will not even have time to prepare.

When Zhang Shihua led the archers of the Inspection Division to fight for the first time, he defeated the group of robbers who were about the same number as himself, and a big reason was because Zhang Shihua and they appeared very suddenly, and the group of robbers had no time to react, so they fought with the archers of the Inspection Division, which is why they lost so badly.

Therefore, every time Zhang Shihua marched out with archers, he would arrange a tid or a row of pioneers in front as scouts.

However, it can also be seen from this that if there is also a group of "robbers" who are recuperating and recuperating at the front, then this group of "officers and soldiers" who are chaotic from beginning to end and from the inside to the outside will definitely not be any better than the group of robbers that Zhang Shihua exterminated at the beginning.

But will there be robbers ahead?

If Liu Qian was asked to answer this question, then Liu Qian would definitely think that the person asking this question was crazy. What are you kidding, I have a group of officers and soldiers, and the robber has the courage to attack a group of officers and soldiers, after all, attacking the officers and soldiers is a rebellion, and the court may still be able to turn a blind eye to the robbers, but for the rebels, it will not show mercy at all.

At the beginning of last month, the White Lotus Sect gathered a crowd to rebel in Hebei, and as a result, the 3,000 people who first rebelled, including their families, were punished by the imperial court, and the imperial court would not show mercy to the rebels at all, so who dared to rebel and attack them.

As for what happened again at the end of the month, in Liu Qian's view, it was the robbers who were actively attacked by the officers and soldiers, so it caused such consequences. And he is not to suppress bandits, but to suppress the mob that resists taxes, and these two things naturally cannot be compared.

As for whether the mob will also attack them for self-protection, just like the robbers on the wing. Liu Qian felt that this matter was completely impossible, after all, the people were different from the robbers, the robbers had no family, they could leave if they wanted to, and they could escape if they wanted to, but the common people were different, their homes were there, and their families were there, even if they could defeat themselves, wouldn't they be afraid that the imperial court would send an army to exterminate them, after all, they were not the kind of "barefoot people" of the robbers.

Of course, even if he is nervous, it is estimated that he will not be able to command this group of officers and soldiers, after all, for Liu Qian who has never fought a war and has not even read a military book, it is too unrealistic to lead troops or something.

However, Liu Qian obviously thought about two questions wrong at this time, first: "The Yuanmeng court does not have zero tolerance for rebels, and Fang Guozhen, who rebelled two years ago, has now become a serious Yuanmeng adult." ”

Second: "Liu Qian's theory of course is all based on the fact that the robbers did not dare to rebel, so they did not dare to attack the officers and soldiers." But if this group of robbers is not only not afraid of rebellion, but thinks about how to rebel every day, then Liu Qian's hypothetical theory will naturally not be established. ”

And this time, Liu Qian was obviously unlucky, because he just met a group of "robbers" who wanted to rebel every day. What's even more unfortunate is that this group of robbers has already set their sights on them, and they are also waiting for them in a dense forest on the road that Liu Qian and them must pass through.

But Liu Qian didn't know anything about all this, because he didn't have scouts at all, maybe he didn't know that there were scouts in the army. So Liu Qian's next result will undoubtedly be tragic, but Liu Qian, who is now full of thoughts of keeping money, obviously doesn't know that he will suffer such a result next.

In a dense forest on the side of the road ahead, Xu Ming was in Xucheng Town, perhaps it should be said that Xu Ming, the master of the White Lotus Hall, was personally leading nearly a hundred White Lotus backbones to quietly ambush in this dense forest, each of them holding steel knives, staring closely at Liu Qian and the direction they came, obviously to ambush the group of officers and soldiers led by Liu Qian.

However, the strange thing is that in addition to holding a steel knife in his hand, Xu Ming and the White Lotus Sect under his command are still wearing ordinary people's cloth clothes, and they are still very tattered cloth clothes. If it weren't for the fact that each of them was holding a steel knife in their hands, and their temperament was ruthless, it is estimated that Xu Ming and them might really be regarded as a group of homeless people, or suffering people at the bottom.

However, after taking a closer look, it was found that Xu Ming was not only wearing tattered cloth clothes, but also wearing a layer of leather armor inside the clothes full of patches.
