Today is December 15, and Wu Yijun's conscription work in the six counties has lasted for five days, and today is the last day.

On the Plum Blossom Ridge of the Town Guard's Mansion, in the fine house, several lanterns are hung everywhere, illuminating a piece of transparency here.

"Yawn!" Lian Zining yawned loudly, carefully looked at the eight-foot-long directory in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction after carefully reviewing it.

I put down the list, got out of bed, and opened the window, only to find that the sky was already blue and white, and it was already dawn, and it turned out that before I knew it, I had been tired all night.

In the past few days, the recruitment work in various localities has been in full swing, and even Zining has not been idle, and there are many problems in expanding the establishment of an army, and the biggest problem is the issue of officers -- who will be promoted and who will remain in office? Whose official is promoted to be bigger, whose official is promoted to small, this is all exquisite. In all fairness, Lian Zining is still satisfied with the officers under him, and after several battles, he can also see who is more mediocre and who is more brilliant, but in the end, no one escaped from the battle, or was cowardly and avoided the battle, which did not disappoint Lian Zining.

He really wants to do it without discrimination, but the problem is that the establishment of five thousand households means that there can only be five thousand households, some people go up, and some people can't go up.

If this matter cannot convince everyone, then the trouble is not small, and there may be cracks.

Lian Zining has been thinking about this matter for a few days, and finally came up with such a list that he thought he could never make more perfect. He is very familiar with the officers under him, not to mention these hundred households, even if it is those general flags, he can call them by name, and he also knows the characteristics of their surnames, and arranges them to suitable positions.

In the meantime, it is to try to ensure fairness, for the sake of this list, Lian Zi would rather be regarded as exhausted, these days to read everyone's resume information carefully and carefully several times, more than ten times after revision, finally completed. In fact, Lian Zining's promotion list is not only for those who are suppressed by hundreds of households, but almost all the general banners and even small banners have changed their positions.

But after all, a big thing has been done, under Lian Zining's planning, the entire officer system of the Wuyi Army has been built, just like a house, the overall framework has been built, as long as you add bricks to it.

As soon as the recruited recruits are trained and filled into this framework, the entire Wuyi Army will immediately become a strong army!

The cold wind outside the window with the cold and faint fragrance of plum blossoms came to his face, penetrating Lian Zining's internal organs, and he only felt that the fatigue of the night was gone.

A slight yawn sounded, Lian Zining looked back, Kang Su also put down his pen, covered his mouth delicately, and yawned a little.

They saw Lian Zining staying up late, so they also accompanied them, Lian Zining said them a few times, but they just didn't listen, and finally asked them to go to sleep with the old man's shelf, but the two girls used the excuse that they had not finished handling their official affairs, so they should have spent the night with him.

"Tired, aren't you?" Lian Zining said softly.

"Not tired! But the master, I haven't slept all night, but I have to rest! Kang Su propped himself up, poured hot water, waited for Lian Zining to lie on the bed, and wiped his face with a hot towel.

"I can't rest, I'll have something to do later. Today is the last day of the course. Lian Zining yawned again and asked, "What about Ling'er?" ”

"Who knows where this girl went, she must have gone to pass the meal! Master, the posts recruited by the recruits in each county have come out, do you want me to read it to you? ”

Lian Zining nodded.

"In one city, five large towns, and more than 10 villages with more than 1,000 people in Leling County, within five days, a total of 1,130 qualified soldiers were recruited, and more than 29,500 taels of silver were spent. According to the report of 100 households in Lijin County, a total of 950 qualified soldiers have been recruited, and the cost is 28,000 silver! According to the report of 100 households in Yangxin County, a total of 870 qualified soldiers have been recruited, and 27,100 silver has been spent. According to the report of 100 households in Haifeng County, a total of 1,340 qualified soldiers have been recruited, and 211,740 silver has been spent. According to the report of 100 households in Qingyun County, a total of 890 qualified soldiers have been recruited, and 27,400 silver has been spent. According to the report of 100 households in Zhanhua County, a total of 1,070 qualified soldiers have been recruited, and 28,300 silver has been spent. ”

"In five days, a total of 6,197 soldiers were recruited, more than 2,000 people were expected."

Kangsu's soft voice finished the report.

Lian Zining leaned on the bed, nodded, and sighed, quite surprised: "So many people? ”

Kang Su said with a smile: "This shows that you have a high prestige, sir, do our Wu Yijun have a status in the hearts of the people, otherwise they all come to join the army?" ”

This was said intimately, and Lian Zining laughed: "You Nizi, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." ”

Kang Su pursed his lips and smiled, and asked, "My lord, now that I am on the strip, what should I do with these extras?" Is it going to be severed or what? The imperial court only gave us a quota of 5,000 households. ”

"Severed, why severed?" Lian Zining slapped his thigh and smiled: "The imperial court only gave us five thousand households, but it didn't say that one thousand households is ten hundred households, right?" It just so happens that I'm still worried about this matter, and there are more than a thousand households and hundreds of households, and this matter will be solved."

"Huh? What do you mean, sir? Kang Su covered his mouth in surprise: "Hide from the world? ”

Lian Zining nodded, Kang Su was a confidant, and he was not afraid to say that he knew with her. Besides, this is not a big deal, a few years ago, the nine sides were rotting, the supply of troops was insufficient, and the generals everywhere were all trying their own way, some sent cronies to the interior, especially the disaster-stricken places to recruit disaster victims, some were to plunder the good people into the army, and some of the tough and strong ones were to kill the enemy's hinterland and grab a tribe in a pot, and later, the soldiers were also sufficient, and the army was full. But this habit has been preserved, and now among the generals on the nine sides, which one is not looking forward to the more soldiers under his command, the better? The imperial court counts the number of soldiers once a year, and the more people there are, the more money they will pay, which general's mansion does not raise hundreds of soldiers? In the end of the Ming Dynasty, the brocade clothes rode out in all directions, can the court not know these things?

Lian Zining did this, but it was just a drizzle. In recent years, the military generals have become more and more powerful, but in the end, they can't beat the civilian officials, just this, the Chinese courtiers of the DPRK continue to find reasons to attack, just to restrict, everyone doesn't take it very seriously, anyway, the Ming Dynasty is in full swing, the central authority, the 500,000 Beijing camp army is enough to suppress the four directions, no one will have any dissent. If there is really anything wrong, a paper edict from the imperial court and a seven-grade patrol press can ask for the surname of a border general's family!

"We now have 1,900 soldiers, plus these, that's about 8,000 soldiers, and if there are 5,000 households, every 1,000 households will be fifteen and 100 households will be about the same." Lian Zining said: "Eight thousand soldiers are eight thousand soldiers, our old man is a dignified soldier of the military department, this little thing can't be done?" ”

In front of the supple woman who is not a pillow person who is better than a pillow person, he is also rare and frivolous.

Kang Su covered his mouth and smiled, but he was silent, for the two of them, all topics related to Dai Qinglan were enough to cause panic in their hearts, and the best way was not to want to.

Lian Zining asked, "By the way, what news has been passed from the Liu Ji blacksmith shop?" ”

Kang Su said: "I was about to tell the master, this morning before dawn there sent someone to pass the message, just now I saw the master wrote into the mind, so I didn't bother the master, saying that the things you want are almost built, please have time to check it!" ”

Lian Zining nodded: "It's better to choose to say, let's do it today, and I'll go later." ”

"And!" She took out a book of accounts and handed it to Lian Zining: "This is sent by Wang Zhenfu yesterday, Wang Zhenfu said that the recruit camp has been built, all kinds of facilities are complete, and the cooks are also complete, just wait to settle in, a total of more than 3,000 taels of silver, this is the account book, do you take a look?" ”

Lian Zining waved his hand: "No, just see if there is any discrepancy, I am dizzy when I look at this thing." ”

He laughed: "Lao Wang, this scared me, now be cautious and report everything, but this is not a bad thing, it is better than making a big mistake." ”

He also said: "Now give a letter to the hundred households in each county, and let them send all the recruits to the big camp within three days, and there will be no mistake." ”

Kang Su responded, Lian Zining stretched his waist and yawned heavily: "I haven't slept all night, I just have so much to do when I get up, I can't stand up too busy, you stay first, I still have to go to the front yard to have a look." You and Kang Ling eat first, I'm not hungry. ”

Kang Su hurriedly got up and waited for Lian Zining to get dressed, and at this time, the door was opened, and the first thing that caught his eye was a small, straight buttocks, wrapped in a lake-green skirt, and then a soft and graceful back, which made Lian Zining can't help but look straight. Seeing Kang Ling walking in upside down with his butt to open the door, Kang Su couldn't help but shake his head: "You Nizi, why can't you grow up?" ”

"What do you do when you grow up?" Kang Ling turned around, put the big red lacquer tray in his hand on the table, wiped his hands, rushed over and hugged Lian Zining's arm, rubbed his face on his chest, raised his head, and smiled like a flower: "The lord often says that I am the cutest at this time, and the lord will not hurt me when I grow up." ”

Seeing this delicate face, Lian Zining felt pity in her heart, and gently scratched her little nose: "My little Ling'er is cute no matter what." ”

A burst of anger in my heart rose slowly, and I said: Oh, this little girl is not big, but there is really material on her chest! Oops, I can't stand it...... Since coming here, Lian Zining has not lived by a surname for several months - in fact, Lian Zining's body is still a virgin. In the past, this was unimaginable, but at the beginning, he had to spend an hour on his senior sister girlfriend every day, demanding excessively, until the other party begged for mercy.

Although he is extremely self-disciplined, he is really suffocated, but at this time, Kang Ling, the little girl, raised her head with tenderness and licked it lightly on his face, like a kitten coquettish to its owner.

Lian Zining's lower body suddenly hardened like an iron pestle.

When I first saw him, I thought that Kang Ling was the most innocent, but after getting along, I found out that this little girl was a real goblin. knew that Lian Zining loved her and cherished her, so he often teased this master, provoking Lian Zining's evil fire with nowhere to vent.

Lian Zining took her into his arms, stared at her and said viciously: "Believe it or not, master, I will eat you now!" ”

Xiao Nizi is now familiar with him to the extreme, so she is not afraid of him, but her arms hug his waist tightly, but she rubs against him vigorously, her eyes are like silk, and her voice is greasy and sweet: "Master, slaves look forward to the master every day to take care of others......"

With such a delicacy at the moment, if Lian Zining retreats, what kind of man is he?

He suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled her into his arms amid Kang Su's exclamation, stared at the two beautiful faces, and said with a smile: "Wash white at night, the master will clean up the two of you today!" ”

After that, he turned around and left, if he stayed any longer, he really couldn't help but put the two girls on the spot.

In addition to the door of the house, two low cheers were heard from the outstretched hand.

Lian Zining couldn't help laughing, these two Nizi. I was also moved in my heart, knowing that the two sisters really sold their hearts to themselves, which is why they were so presumptuous and open in front of themselves, even to the point of losing their self-respect. Don't they know shyness? I just want to leave everything to him.

I went to the side hall in the front yard, and before I arrived, I heard a clanging sound inside, like a wooden stick strike.

When I went in, it turned out that Qi Wei divided the trained officers into two teams, each team of nine people, each team was lined up in a formation of three horizontal and three vertical, and the three people in the first row were all holding short wooden sticks with flat ends in their hands, obviously playing the role of firecrackers. The next few are holding long sticks in their hands, apparently playing the role of spearmen.

The two sides confronted each other, and then started a battle, although the number of people was small, but the formation was varied, there were offensive and defensive, and it looked quite meteorological!

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! Lian Zining's applause made everyone stop, and they saluted in unison: "See your lord!" ”

Only Qi Wei's stupid girl was still standing there smiling brightly at Lian Zining, revealing two rows of snow-white teeth.

"It's done, let's all get up!" Lian Zining smiled: "What's the matter, after five days of study, you have grown, right?" ”

This was for Chivi.

Chivi nodded: "Yes, my lord, they are the smartest and most studious students I have ever met, and in fact, I have to admit with great dismay that it is ten times easier to teach them than to teach my compatriots, the Swiss mountain people." In five days, everything we prepared has been learned by them, and there are new ideas to be raised. This is already the last class, the actual combat drill class, and I think it can be over now. ”
