Chapter 557: Bandit Suppression Plan

Fa Cao Zhulu, who was in charge of recording next to him, knew Wang Boyan, and hurriedly whispered to Li Yanqing: "County Jun, he is Wang Zhizhou!" ”

Li Yanqing hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "It turned out that Wang Zhizhou came to the small county, and he was disrespectful!" ”

Wang Boyan also smiled and said: "Today I came to Guixian to inspect it, and I happened to meet Li County Commander to try the case, which can be regarded as an eye-opener, and sure enough, the trial is reasonable and well-founded, I don't know how Li County Commander can see that there is a ghost in the boat's heart?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Inferring from common sense, if it is really a notice that it will be owned by the boat after thirty days, then he will definitely be impatient to wash his clothes and polish his jewelry after he takes the box home the day before yesterday, because these belong to him, but he didn't do it, which means that he has a weak heart and wants to avoid the limelight again, I estimate that he has a ghost in his heart, and things are not so simple." ”

Wang Boyan laughed, "Li County Ling sees people's hearts thoroughly!" ”

Zhizhou laughed, the most difficult thing in the world to understand is the human heart, please! Please go to the back hall to talk about it! ”

On the one hand, of course, these degraded officials have been high and have not lost their majesty, and they are likely to come back and be reused, and another important reason is that officials are often only degraded officials, but the virtual officials who represent their identities are still there.

For example, Li Yanqing, his official rank was demoted from the sixth rank to the eighth grade, but his title was not deprived, his knighthood was still from the founding baron of the fifth grade, as well as the scarlet robe and silverfish bag of the fifth grade, based on this alone, Wang Boyan, the governor of the sixth grade, was slightly half a grade below him in terms of identity.

The two sat down in the back hall, and a boy served them tea, Li Yanqing said with a smile: "Zhizhou is here for the land of the City God Temple?" ”

Wang Boyan showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, he didn't come for the matter of land, but since Li Yanqing had already proposed it, he could no longer pretend not to know, so he had to sigh and said: "The matter of land, I hope that the county order of Li will handle it properly." ”

"Of course, what is obtained from the people is also used by the people, and I will build an account and explain the ins and outs of every penny clearly."

"That's the best, once this kind of thing reaches the imperial court, I'm afraid that the supervision of the imperial history will come down."

Li Yanqing took a sip of tea and wrote lightly: "This kind of trivial matter, please don't let the imperial history be supervised, Zhizhou don't worry too much." ”

Wang Boyan didn't say anything, he knew that Li Yanqing had connections in the Yushitai, and it was impossible for the Yushitai to come to check on him, so he dared to say this.

After a moment of silence, Wang Boyan said again: "I came to Jiayu County this time, in fact, I was thinking about forming a local water army,"

Li Yanqing's spirits perked up, "Wang Zhizhou wants to deal with water thieves?" ”

Wang Boyan nodded, "The last time the water thieves were encircled and suppressed was ten years ago, they suffered a fiasco, and since then no one dares to raise the matter of suppressing the bandits, at the beginning of his tenure, he decided to exterminate the water thieves who have plagued the Yangtze River for many years, including the black-hearted dragon king of Dongting Lake and Zhang Shun who is rampant in the Ezhou area. ”

"But if you want to form a local naval army, you must at least apply to the imperial court."

"I applied to the imperial court last year, and last month the Privy Council and the Ministry of War approved it, agreeing that I should recruit a naval army of no more than 500 people, and the Ministry of War also agreed to transfer some old ships from the naval division to us, so I specially came to discuss this matter with Li County Order today."

Li Yanqing suddenly understood, this Wang Boyan was probably trying to rely on himself, he didn't speak, and when Wang Boyan continued, Wang Boyan glanced at Li Yanqing's face before continuing: "The biggest problem now is not the problem of soldiers and ships, but the money and grain and the generals who lead the troops, I can mobilize the Ezhou squires to donate, but the main general who can lead this naval army to suppress bandits cannot be found, I think about it, I am afraid that only Li County Commander can do it, among all the officials in Ezhou, only Li County Commander has the experience of leading troops to fight." ”

Li Yanqing laughed, "I went to Western Xia, but this is a navy, I'm afraid it's ......"

Without waiting for Li Yanqing to finish speaking, Wang Boyan hurriedly said: "But didn't Li County Order also exterminate Shuibo Liangshan?" ”

Li Yanqing has long had the intention of suppressing bandits, and it is rare for Wang Boyan to think of going with him, since the state is willing to give resources, why should he not do it?

Li Yanqing no longer refused, and said happily: "Since Wang Zhizhou came to Jiayu County to entrust me, how can I not give Zhizhou this face, okay!" I can also serve as the training of the water corps in Ezhou, but the township is recruited by me, and at the same time, please put the naval army in Jiayu County, I am still the county commander after all! ”

Wang Boyan was overjoyed, if he could succeed in suppressing the bandits with the help of Li Yanqing, then he would also have great political achievements, and he would be able to rise one step higher when he returned to the imperial court.

"Then how to decide, I will be responsible for the money, food, and boats, and the sailor Xiangyong will ask Li County to recruit him."

......

Wang Boyan didn't stay long in Jiayu County, he hurried back to raise money and grain, receive the boat, and talked about some details, so Wang Boyan hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Not long after Wang Boyan left, Yang Ju, a county Cheng who went to the township to urge taxes, hurried back.

"County gentleman, has Wang Zhizhou been here?" As soon as he entered the door, Yang Ju asked urgently.

"It's gone, and I've been sitting for less than half an hour."

Yang Ju was stunned, "Are you leaving so soon?" ”

"The county has something to look for him?" Li Yanqing subconsciously glanced at him.

"It's nothing, it's just.... The matter of the sale of land in the City God Temple was solved so quickly? Yang Ju is still worried about their unauthorized land sales.

"He didn't come for the land?"

Yang Ju suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, it turned out that Zhizhou did not come to sell the land, but this time came too coincidentally.

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "I'm here to suppress bandits!" ”

"Bandits!"

Yang Ju shouted out in a lost voice, and the heart that had just fallen hung again.

"Does the county think it's inappropriate to suppress bandits?" Li Yanqing stared at Yang Ju fiercely.

"It's not that it's wrong to suppress the bandits, I'm just worried that the balance that has just been formed will be broken again."

"What balance?"

Yang Ju sighed, "Since Zhang Shun appeared on the Ezhou River, the Black-Hearted Dragon King has been driven out of the Ezhou territory, which is a good thing for the people of Ezhou, at least Zhang Shun does not hurt women and children, and only collects protection money, I am afraid that Zhang Shun will be destroyed and the Black-Hearted Dragon King will make a comeback, and then the life of Jiayu County will be sad." ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "The suppression of bandits is not only to suppress Zhang Shun, but also to exterminate the black-hearted dragon king, and completely destroy the Yangtze River bandits, otherwise the Yangtze River will never have peace, for our Jiangbian county like Jiayu County, the Yangtze River is our life channel, the life channel is not smooth, where does prosperity come from?" It is difficult to know that the state has made up its mind to suppress the bandits, and the court supports it, this opportunity is lost, and I am afraid that if I want to suppress the bandits again, I don't know what year and month I will go. ”

"Since the governor and the county order have decided to suppress the bandits, I don't have anything to say, I just hope that there will be a beginning and an end, and I won't give up halfway."

Yang Ju always had reservations about the suppression of bandits, but he was humble and could not change his decision, so he could only suppress his worries in his heart.

.......

Jiayu County currently has a total of 300 township soldiers, mainly responsible for guarding the north and south gates, as well as the security outside the city, 300 township soldiers are of course the children of Jiayu County, the current head and deputy are Zhang Hu and Yang Guang, their military camp is located in the northeast of the county, only more than 100 steps away from the north city gate.

Li Yanqing left the county government and soon came to the township barracks, which covers an area of about 40 acres, of which 10 acres are barracks and 30 acres are training grounds.

At this time, on the training ground, 300 soldiers of the township army were training their marksmanship in a uniform manner, and Zhang Hu next to him kept yelling, "Where is the strength?" One by one, the fuck stomped my feet like they hadn't eaten! ”

Yang Guang sat next to the training ground, holding his cheeks boredly, there was nothing for him to do in terms of training, Zhang Hu trained well enough.

At this time, Yang Guang suddenly saw Li Yanqing, and immediately ran over with a smile, almost without a tail to wag.

"The county gentleman is here?"

"Why aren't you training?" Li Yanqing asked with a cold face.

"Zhang Hu didn't let me practice, thinking that I couldn't lead the team well."

"I mean, why didn't you train your marksmanship with everyone on the team?"

Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, "It seems that the deputy head is not needed!" ”

"You stinky boy, every time I come, I see you hanging around, be careful that you can't even beat the soldiers."

Yang Guang scratched his head, "Why don't you go to practice archery!" ”

"No need now, call Zhang Hu over, I have something."

Yang Guang rushed away, and after a while, Zhang Hu dismissed the soldiers to rest, and then hurriedly ran over, he stepped forward and knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists, "See the county gentleman!" ”

"Get up! Go to the barracks and talk. ”

Li Yanqing led them to the barracks, he sat down and asked, "Can they go into battle now?" ”

"Not yet, I've been training intensively for ten days, and the effect hasn't come out yet, but my mental state is refreshed."

Li Yanqing pondered and said, "How many of these three hundred township soldiers are good at water-based? ”

"I haven't asked about this lowly position, but they all grew up by the river, so there should be a lot of them!"

"There are more than a hundred people!"

Next to him, Yang Guang interjected: "Those who have asked about the humble job can basically swim in the water, but there are about one hundred and twenty or thirty people with excellent water quality." ”

"What's your standard for being excellent at water?"

"I can swim across the Yangtze River, and I am ready to take them to the Yangtze River in a few days."

Li Yanqing nodded, and told the two of them about Ezhou's preparation for the formation of a local naval army, but Zhang Hu bowed his head and said with a sigh: "It's not good to be lowly and watery, I'm afraid I can't help the county king." ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "You are still the head of the township soldiers in Jiayu County, the navy is formed separately, and I have already thought of the best candidate for the leader of the navy." ”
