Walking out of Shen Aotian's room, Xiang Luyang and Shen Aotian came to the front yard of the yamen, which was where the officials usually worked, and when they came here, Ye Qiushui and Zhou Tiezhu were registering to recruit errand officials.

Xiang Luyang introduced Shen Aotian to them, and briefly told Shen Aotian about his relationship with Ye Qiushui and Zhou Tiezhu, and Shen Aotian took over Ye Qiushui's work and began to select people.

After Shen Aotian took over the work, Ye Qiushui came to Xiang Luyang's side and said: "The enthusiasm of these young men is very high, I told them that we have limited people recruited this time, and some of them may not be able to work in the yamen, they said that they would rather not be paid, but also help you work." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "Ordinary people are kind, they know our current difficulties, we have not only offended the governor, but also offended the forces of the rivers and lakes, in this case, they are still willing to help us, just rush this point, my choice yesterday was not wrong." ”

Ye Qiushui said: "Yes, we just did what we had to do, and they were so grateful to us, which shows what kind of life they lived." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "If a person has been living in darkness, he will not long for the light, but once they see a glimmer of light, and then let them return to the darkness, although their lives have not changed, but the hope for the light will make them worse than death." ”

Ye Qiushui said: "You mean, they are defending their own light?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "This is what the people want. ”

Ye Qiushui said: "Then how do you plan to settle these people?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "How many people are here?" ”

Ye Qiushui said: "Now it is more than three hundred, but there are still people rushing here one after another, and it is estimated that the final number will reach five hundred." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "Leave fifty official missions, and all the others will be changed to militia groups, you will be responsible for training the official missions, Aotian and Tiezhu will be responsible for training the militia regiments, Tiezhu will use modern military training methods to teach them how to fight, and Aotian is mainly responsible for guiding their martial arts." ”

Ye Qiushui said: "The private training militia is going to lose its head." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "We can't control it so much, now that Governor Huang is there, we will definitely not be able to count on it, and the Haisha Gang will not give up, so we must prepare early." ”

Ye Qiushui said: "What about the Luo squad leader?" ”

Xiang Luyang said: "Let them recuperate first, try not to show their heads, they are strange soldiers, they are our last hole cards, especially Zhao Guizhen, we must not let him shoot casually." ”

Ye Qiushui said: "I'll go and inform them later." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "No need, I'll go over and tell them directly in a while, by the way, how many people are in the city defense army in Dengzhou, and who is the chief officer?" ”

Ye Qiushui smiled bitterly and said: "Because this Dengzhou City is located on the coast, there is almost no possibility of foreign invasion, the city defense army of the entire city is less than a hundred people, the military commander is called Lei Bao, is Lei Meng's younger brother, last night had already run away with the drunken scholar overnight, and now the city defense army is already an ownerless army." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "That's right, so as not to make trouble, after a while, you will transfer all the city defense troops, and the militia will not get them, and all these people will be incorporated into the city defense army, although we are not afraid of Governor Huang, but it is better to leave him less handles." ”

Ye Qiushui said: "I'll do it." ”

After Ye Qiushui left, Xiang Luyang called Shen Aotian over again, and told Shen Aotian about the good things he had just discussed with Ye Qiushui, and Shen Aotian also agreed with Xiang Luyang's method, not only that, but Shen Aotian also extended Xiang Luyang's original arrangements, that is, to increase the number of errand officers to one hundred, of which fifty were trained by him alone as Xiang Luyang's personal guard.

Xiang Luyang did not object to Shen Aotian's arrangement, he now needs his own strength, there are not many of these people, but they must be fine.

After a morning's examination and screening, Xiang Luyang recruited a total of more than 600 people this time, except for the 100 people who stayed in the yamen, all the others were incorporated into the city defense army.

Since Lei Bao, the military director of the city defense army, had fled, Xiang Luyang readjusted his work arrangements, Zhou Tiezhu was responsible for managing and training the city defense army, Ye Qiushui was responsible for ordinary officers, and Shen Aotian was responsible for Xiang Luyang's personal guards.

When Xiang Luyang walked into the courtyard, Gao Biying was losing her temper, and his punching bucket was the unlucky Marco, and now Wu Ran was injured, so Marco became her only punching bucket.

Looking at Zhao Guizhen, who was clapping on the side, Xiang Luyang beckoned and said, "Zhen'er, come here and tell your father and your mother, what are you doing?" ”

After this period of running-in, Xiang Luyang has completely adapted to this title, and Zhao Guizhen has become more and more dependent on him.

Zhao Guizhen came to Xiang Luyang's side and said: "Brother Marco made my mother angry, he said that Dad, you don't want our mother and son anymore, and said that it is not easy for my mother to be orphaned and widowed with this eldest son, so I asked if I needed to find a mother-in-law for my mother and let her remarry." ”

As soon as Zhao Guizhen finished speaking, before Xiang Luyang could react, Gao Biying's face turned red, and she hurriedly said: "Master Master is back, I will withdraw first, you two should contact each other, I won't bother you." ”

After that, he struggled twice from the ground and ran away.

After Marco fled back to the house, Xiang Luyang said to Gao Biying: "Marco's stinky mouth is like that, you don't want to be like him." ”

Gao Biying didn't speak, just nodded with a red face.

Seeing that Gao Biying didn't speak, Xiang Luyang wanted to say something more, but he didn't know where to start for a while, the two of them stood relatively speechless, and the atmosphere became very embarrassing for a while, at this moment, Luo Tianwu and others in the room walked out with Wu Ran in their arms, and seeing that someone broke the embarrassing situation, Xiang Luyang hurriedly walked towards Wu Ran.

After carefully examining Wu Ran's injuries and seeing that they had begun to gradually improve, Xiang Luyang was relieved and gathered everyone together, and Xiang Luyang told them everything he had done in the yamen this morning.

Luo Tianwu opened his mouth and said: "You just let it go over there, there is me here." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "I'm not worried about anything else, it's the safety of Haizhongtian, you must not take it lightly, this is the cost of our negotiations with the Haisha Gang, if he is rescued, we will be passive." ”

Luo Tianwu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have the ability to hide people, you don't know yet, I'll sell it now, you look for it in this courtyard, as long as you can find Haizhongtian, even if I lose." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "I'm relieved if you say that, I must have a lot of things to do in the Yamen these days, and it is estimated that I don't have much time to run to you, you let Marco go to me every day, and we will keep in touch at any time." ”

Luo Tianwu said: "You should also pay attention to your own safety, don't be too careless." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "I'm fine, there is Shen Aotian over there, and I should be able to deal with the situation in front of me." ”

Luo Tianwu said: "It's better to be careful." ”

Xiang Luyang said: "When I'm not there, you must urge them to practice, don't let them be lazy, and every time Marco goes out, let him put on makeup first, so that others can see the flaws." ”
