Chapter 63: Ning Wu Invites Soldiers
"How's Dong Weng?"
Chen Mengji saw that he was being persecuted, and he was speechless for a while, so he had to find a reason to come to the back office, wanting to find his own staff to discuss, but as soon as he turned the door, he saw his own staff coming out on the side of the pillar, and asked directly.

Thinking about it, Fang just hid behind and heard it clearly, so it was okay to save his own tongue, "Sir, how do you think this matter should be handled?" β
Chen Mengji's staff is also very human, although he has failed many provincial tests, he is only a showman.
But he also knows a thing or two about the world's feelings and the names of the county's taxes and punishments, and he helps Chen Mengji as an official on weekdays, but there are many disasters in the boundary of Chunxian County, and the taxes have not been paid for two years, so he can't blame him.
"For today's plan, it is necessary to stabilize the clan first, once there is a stir, sue the provincial government, and Dong Weng will sit on wax." The staff fanned his fan, shook his head, and said.
Seeing Chen Mengji's displeased face, he hurriedly threw out the method he had thought of when he was eavesdropping, "Dong Weng is not in a hurry, there are priorities, I look at that strongman Li Jing, but the clown who jumps off the beam can be killed in a moment!" β
"Planned from An?" When Chen Mengji heard this, he was really not in a hurry, thinking that there was a Li Jing in Chunxian County, and it was really not like a joke, he finally calmed down the affairs of the Wang family before, so he fooled the past, and now he openly occupies the mountain as the king, what a bedbug!
"Before the fight, the big clan oppressed, didn't you invite the people of the Thousand Households Guard of the Octagonal Fort? Why don't you do this anymore today? β
"Please say that the soldiers, Hugh will mention it again!" Chen Mengji was speechless when he thought of this, these days, the thousands of households in the Octagonal Fort only ran to the county office, so please give yourself an explanation, whoever loses a hundred elites in vain, and they can't stop, and the thousand households are also in a hurry and have no choice.
Don't think that if you are a literati, you can't do martial arts, so there can be 200 people who dare to fight in the Octagonal Fort? If you go to ask for soldiers again, it's just a joke.
Thinking like this, I felt that my husband was unreliable, "That castle is full of faΓ§ade goods, fooling people, if you want to hire soldiers again, you have to play the Ming Shanxi Dusi, but like this, I'm afraid there will be no place for me at that time." β
The staff member received Chen Mengji's seventy taels of silver a year, and naturally he would not pit him, so he thought about it when he saw it, and hurriedly spoke, "Dong Weng why bother, you must know that I am at the junction of Chunxian County, ten miles northwest, but there is my Chaoningwu Pass, there are countless elite soldiers and good generals, why not ask for troops here?" β
"yes, how did I forget about this stubble." Chen Mengji patted his head, and suddenly sobered up, that is the important place of the three passes of the Great Wall, since the old things of the Xianzong of this dynasty, the special Ningwu Pass, with the deviation of the head, the second pass of Yanmen is the left, and it is the gateway of Jinzhong.
In the past, Shanxi commanded the envoy to be stationed in Ningwu, since the Shanxi general soldier who entered the king of Beijing in the second year of Chongzhen was killed, there were fewer people in these two years, and the southern Jin Dynasty was rampant, and moved to Taiyuan, and thanks to this, his family was not dismissed on the spot.
Even so, Ning Wu still has soldiers and a guard, a total of 5,600 people, this group of Qiu Ba, guarding the pass all day long, doing nothing, for a long time, the place is not quiet, the chickens and dogs are still good, blocking the road and pretending to be robbers is also a matter of time, all this, isn't it all for a few silver?
"Besides, the Kang family and the strongman Li Jing have a common enmity, why don't Dong Weng let the Kang family pay the money and invite the soldiers?" The staff member gave another suggestion.
When Chen Mengji heard this, he shook his head, "I'm afraid I'm afraid that he won't give it, if you can invite three or five hundred soldiers, it will be easy to suppress the bandits, but you can't have more than a thousand dollars?" I'm afraid the Kang family is reluctant! β
The staff laughed, "If the ancestor of the Kang family is still there, this silver will have to be discussed in the county for thirty or fifty days, but now I see that the Kang family kid acts on weekdays, pampered, and has no ability, Dong Weng only needs to deceive him alone, won't the silver be there?" β
Chen Mengji thought for a while, felt that it was feasible, and saw that his appearance had changed a little, "If it is done, Mr. will have a few points." β
In this way, the total amount was summed up, and the context was cleared, so Shi Shiran went to the turning hall, and said to the scholars, "This county has sent people to Ningwu to ask for troops, and you will retreat first, and you will be killed in a few days!" β
When he retreated, there was no one who asked for money, so he hurriedly greeted, "Kang Xian, nephew, stay for the time being, change clothes with me, and go to your mansion to worship." β
When everyone saw the result and retreated, Chen Mengji greeted him and went back to rest, and both sat down, then he opened his mouth, "I don't hide it from my nephew, the county treasury is vacant, and I go to the provincial government to play the book, although it is very troublesome, but Jinnan is uneasy, and it takes thirty or fifty days to free up my hands." β
When I was so anxious, I couldn't wait to take the life of the thief today, worship my grandfather, my father was in the spirit of the sky, where could I afford to wait, when I heard this, I was immediately anxious, "I also ask the county to urge, and the student is willing to make up for it with money and food." β
Cheng, that's what he wanted, and when he heard it, he agreed, and Chen Mengji immediately spoke, "This official will send someone to urge Ning Wuwei to send troops to kill the thieves." β
He repented when he was overbearing, and said bluntly, "But as the saying goes, the three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. β
"If the county respects a little, the students will return home, even if they sell their ancestral inheritance, they will not hesitate!" When he was so excited, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"If this is the case, within half a month, the soldiers will arrive!" Chen Mengji picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.
β¦β¦
Three days ago, the Ye family sent someone to discuss, and agreed to use 50 waist knives for a price of 100 taels, and 500 iron spearheads for 120 taels, and 1,000 catties of cotton, 300 catties of pig iron, 500 catties of salt, and the rest of the miscellaneous grains and noodles to supplement it.
He also gave ten mules and horses, two oxen, thirty horn bows, ten iron hammers, one horizontal knife, one pair of shields, five hundred arrows, five pieces of chain mail, and five iron fan hats in exchange for ten brass Buddha statues on Li Jing.
These things were transported three times, Li Jing's whole army went down the mountain to carry them, tired all morning, but everyone was satisfied, looking at everyone's enthusiasm, Li Jing's heart was happy.
"How? Is it enough to form an army? Li Jing looked at the spear with an iron spear in his hand, and asked around him with high spirits.
Zhao Mosheng is not free on weekdays, among these people used by Li Jing, he has the most average ability, and he has the earliest contact, and there is no need to say much about loyalty, which will carry leisure time, and he can't help but say on the side, "The armor is still too little, if it is a flat battle, the elite of the former official army can be broken by fifty." β
"Yes, it's a pity that the armor is difficult to make, but fortunately, there are 300 catties of pig iron, and you can recruit blacksmiths for refining!" Li Jing didn't know where to go, just talking about the Jiannu in the east, among which the real Jurchens, conceited and armed, with one armor and one hand, and the elite family members of the imperial court border army, the same is true.
But don't you have no money and no land, how can you compare with them?
"In the past, there were many armor and willow nails, I'm afraid it would be difficult to build for a while, so how about filling it with cotton and resisting the sword soldiers with your face?" Feng Xingman is worthy of being the general background, knows more, and speaks on the side.
"Just do it in turn!" Li Jing didn't understand this, but he thought that it was better to have armor than no armor now, and besides, didn't he still wear armor made of bamboo.
Seeing that the army formation was finally formed, there were forty people with armor, thirty people with bows, and ten monks from the past to sit on mules and horses, as scouts, although they were barely on the horses, but they were always stronger than the crops and men of the past.
"We have come to this day, and there is no turning back, but as long as a good man is famous, why bother with anything else!" Li Jingchong said left and right, thinking that in his previous life, he only commanded more than 100 troops, and his family was still an instructor, so he could not directly lead the troops to fight.
After the crossing, there has always been an indelible expectation in my heart, eager to try the taste of commanding the three armies, and now there are 400 soldiers under his command, how can he not be overjoyed.
