Chapter 284: Governing the County Seat
Many powerful forces under the leadership of Su Yi, with countless captures and vast return to Shangjun County, although Su Yi successfully took the Yongji Canal, but the price paid was also huge, the army responsible for guarding the southern barren forest suffered heavy casualties, including 5,000 archers were even broken up, and the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen were killed and wounded countless in the process of hand-to-hand combat.
On the contrary, the fifteen,000 troops led by Su Yi personally did not have many casualties, but those powerful private soldiers, due to their lack of discipline and battlefield awareness, they couldn't wait to go up and loot things when they saw the Hu people in chaos, and they were once defeated by the Hu people who counterattacked.
If it weren't for the elite soldiers under Su Yi's command, who were not afraid of death, I was afraid that these heroes would be counterattacked by the Hu people of Yongjiqu.
Even if Su Yi took Niu Quan in advance, only half of the heroes and squires who participated in the war in the county and county were only half-percent, and the rest either ignored Su Yi's orders, or only sent a small number of guards to fill the façade, for these people, Su Yi naturally took a small notebook out, wrote their names into it, and when the time was ripe, he pulled their pigtails.
Su Yi arranged all the official duties of Shangjun County, and at the same time appointed several leaders of the cottage as the head catcher, and gradually installed the power of Taohuazhai into Shangjun County. The powerful forces participating in this exhibition, whether they played a role or not, Su Yi rewarded them heavily, and those squires and heroes who violated the yin and yang, Su Yi returned to the city this time, and he didn't even bother to see them.
In addition to those squires who disobeyed the yin and yang, the original garrison of Shangjun County did not obey Su Yi's dispatch, Su Yi was eager to attack Yongji Canal, and he didn't bother with them before, and now that he returned with a great victory, it was time to settle accounts with them.
Captain Yun, who was originally stationed in Shangjun County, relied on the secret support of Haoqiang and the squire, and refused to send troops to Yongjiqu on the grounds of the disparity in strength between the two sides. At the instigation of Niu Quan, he also complained to Liu Yu and pretended to write to the imperial court, opposing Su Yi's rash dispatch of troops to Yongjiqu.
Captain Yun and Niu Quan listed dozens of hidden dangers of sending troops to Yongji Canal, and Su Yi was most impressed by the two, one of which was that sending troops to Shangjun County would destroy the friendship that Liu Yu had established with the Hu people, and the other was to refute Su Yi's ignorance of military affairs, and the difference between the forces of Shangjun County and Yongji Canal was huge, and he rashly attacked Yongji Canal, and the final result could only be a fiasco.
Later, don't catch the cow at all. Captain Yun was also frightened for a while, but seeing that Su Yi did not embarrass him, he slowly put his mind at ease, in fact, Su Yi did not want to let him go, but at that time, the troops were about to be dispatched, and Su Yi did not have time to pay attention to this Captain Yun, but just told Ma Bin to be careful against him, once Captain Yun made a move, Ma Bin had the right to cut first and then play.
Captain Yun also has some soldiers and horses under him. Su Yi was worried that Ma Bin was short of manpower, so he specially sent someone to transfer manpower to Taohuazhai and allocated it to Ma Bin.
Ma Bin also tacitly took these horses to "patrol" in Shangjun County, and was responsible for public security work. Arranged for some people to enter the city, and at the same time ordered the troops outside the city to monitor the every move of Captain Yun and the others.
Niu Quan had already confessed to his crime of collaborating with the enemy under Meng Hai's torture, and at the same time confessed to Captain Yun.
Of course, when Su Yi saw that Niu Quan barely had a good skin on his body. also doubted how much authenticity his confession was, but now he was worried that he had no excuse to get rid of Captain Yun, and he had Niu Quan's confession. In Su Yi's eyes, this Captain Yun was almost a dead man.
Soon, Ma Bin, Gao Heihu and others surrounded Captain Yun's station with a large army.
Although Captain Yun is thriving among many powerful forces in Shangjun County, because of his selfishness, the soldiers under him have almost no good impression of him.
Almost no resistance, Ma Bin took down Captain Yun, and Su Yi organized the original soldiers and horses in Shangjun County, mixed up with fellow villagers, and handed them over to Ma Bin with full authority.
Although Ma Bin is a warden in Shangjun County, in fact, his rights have far exceeded the scope of a warden.
There are as many as 1,000 "white bodies" under his command, and the imperial court has a limit on the number of servants, but there is no limit to the number of white officials, as long as the money of the officials is enough, they can recruit the white body at will.
Su Yi and Ma Bin took advantage of this loophole to expand some of the elite thieves in Peach Blossom Village, and gave them a white identity.
As for the original soldiers and horses and township warriors in Shangjun County, they were still equipped according to the establishment of township warriors, and were temporarily handed over to Ma Bin to be responsible, and their respective leaders were responsible for training in peacetime, and they were unified under Ma Bin's command in wartime.
Ma Bin was just the owner of a martial arts hall before, although he was highly capable, but his social status was not high, especially in a place like Dongyang County, the owner of a martial arts hall, many people didn't take him seriously.
Although the county is small, the position of warden is in real power, and he is also an official.
For this reason, Ma Bin is grateful to Su Yi, and his loyalty has also increased a lot, with his vision, he can naturally see that Su Yi is cultivating him, Ma Bin joined Peach Blossom Village not long ago, and he even had some resistance when he first arrived in Peach Blossom Village.
But Su Yi did not hand over the position of warden to Meng Hai or Gao Heihu, but let him, a person who had just joined the cottage, take over the position, and the implication is self-evident.
Su Yi took a fancy to Ma Bin's martial arts was certainly one of the reasons, but in the final analysis, it was Su Yi who wanted to cultivate Ma Bin. With Su Yi's current strength, he naturally doesn't want to nest in the vertical and horizontal mountain ranges, and mingles with some rogues and bandits all day long, and his pattern has been enlarged to the entire Youzhou, and even the entire world.
At this time, in addition to the soldiers and horses under his command who can fight well, Su Yi urgently needs a group of talents who can command the army for him to fight and be responsible for the economy and security of the county.
Su Yi also posted posts in Shangjun County to recruit talents. There is no shortage of fierce generals to command the army, but talents who are good at governance and good at internal affairs.
Not long after Zhang Bang went out, many people came to apply for jobs, but unfortunately most of these people are talented people who can only study to death, there are almost no people who really have vision and strategy, and few talents who are good at internal affairs have not been recruited.
However, some powerful forces saw Su Yi recruiting talents, and took the initiative to recommend the children of their clan to Su Yi, for these people, Su Yi is not good at refusing them all, and he can't hire them all without asking, so he can only select some of them who are quite reliable and place them in some unimportant positions.
After mastering the personnel power of a county, Su Yi knew why so many people in later generations liked to take the backdoor relationship, it was really too big for the inside story of this part. There are a lot of idle jobs up and down the entire yamen, and Su Yi stuffed all the people recommended by Haoqiang into it. And those heroes and squires were not satisfied, and they even set their sights on the positions of some fat and oily people in the yamen. (To be continued.) )
