Chapter 33 The Commander of the Township Soldiers
No matter how capable Ding Yuan is, he is just a squire with no reputation.
If it was something else, maybe the squires of Guangling would be able to help each other and deal with Wei County Order together.
However, no one could find a reason to refute the arrest of night thieves.
Moreover, it was Ding Yuanwai who set a reward of one hundred taels of silver, and now, the case has been solved, and the county order has asked him to reward him for his merits, and fulfilling his promise is also the meaning of the question, even if he says it, Wei Yuan is also reasonable.
Of course, the truth is for others to hear, as an insider, Ding Yuan is very aggrieved, the real thief was not caught, but he wanted to reward Wang Teng with a hundred taels of silver, which was too deceitful.
Ma Dian's official was secretly ruthless, since Wei Yuan was unkind, then don't blame him for being unjust!
Jiang Da is dead, and there are others, the rogues are always easy to buy, as long as they are lured to their advantage, wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone to deal with a few blind squires?
Hmph, doesn't Wei Yuan want to be promoted? At this time, if there is another thief, it will be his good luck if the officials do not punish him.
Ma Dian's official was thinking about how to block Wei Yuan, but he didn't expect Wei Yuan to say such a paragraph: "Recently, bandits have disturbed the people, and the people have suffered greatly. ”
The horse warden snorted, this is the bottom of the kettle.
If Wei Yuan is really allowed to do something, which thief who doesn't open his eyes would dare to come and rob?
After the death of Wang Zhichen, the Liukou army was disheartened, and they were already frightened birds, and most of them could succeed in plundering the villages, but who would do such a risky thing to let them crusade against the villages garrisoned by the official army?
It's over, it's over, Ma Dian was annoyed, the plan he finally came up with was cracked by Wei Yuan, how can this be good?
Ding Yuanwai was also flustered, originally he also had an idea of revenge against Wei Yuan, which was the same as that of Ma Dian, who would have thought that it would also fall short.
Ma Dian's and Ding's minds were in turmoil, and they had no tricks to use, only Zhao Xiancheng had a high fighting spirit, "My lord, it's a good thing for the townspeople to inspect the villages, but where does the money and food come from?" ”
Wei Yuan frowned, he had also thought about this question, he originally planned to transfer it from the village, but looking at Zhao Xiancheng's appearance, he was afraid that he was bent on finding fault.
The previous idea must be overturned, otherwise, Zhao Xiancheng will definitely take the opportunity to find trouble.
How good is that?
There is limited money and food in the treasury, and there is no surplus at all, but to recruit villagers, you must give money and food, otherwise, who will be willing to die?
Just when Wei Yuan was a little embarrassed, Wang Teng stepped forward, "Ladies and gentlemen, inspect the village and guard against the rogues, this is a great kindness, the villain does not have much money and food, and he is willing to sacrifice one hundred taels of silver as military funds."
Wei Yuan was very excited, every time it came to such a critical time, Wang Teng would always appear in time to relieve him, "Good, good, good, good a righteous man for the country and the people, this silver, this official has accepted it, and I want your colleagues to be a witness, there must be such a sum in the Guangling righteous people in the future!" ”
After receiving the money and having a witness, Wei Yuan didn't worry about others accusing him of accepting bribes.
Zhao Xiancheng stared at Wang Teng fiercely, it was this thief who had done a good thing, it was really hateful.
"That's my silver", Ding Yuanwai's eyelids jumped wildly, Wang Teng took his silver to brush his prestige, it's just that Wang Jiazhuang has always been poor, and a hundred taels of silver should be a huge amount of money for them, but why does Wang Teng look like he doesn't care?
Intuition told Ding that there must be another reason for this.
Why, exactly?
Wei Yuan praised Wang Teng loudly, but he didn't get the expected echo, he smiled slightly, and thought about it, "Outside Ding, you should be deeply aware of the harm of the rogue, this time to inspect the village, I don't know if Dingjiazhuang needs soldiers to stay?" ”
Ding Yuanwai sneered, this was a naked threat, and he even had a feeling that once the exit was denied, Dingjiazhuang would be attacked again immediately, and at that time, Wei Xianling also cleared up the involvement.
What a poisonous strategy!
Ding Yuanwai did not dare to hesitate, and hurriedly said: "Arrest the bandits, benefit the country and the people, the grass people dare not let Wang Teng be beautiful in front, and are willing to sacrifice two hundred taels of white eyes."
Wei Yuan smiled slightly, "Good, Ding Yuan is really benevolent and righteous, and this official will play the court to commend your good deeds."
The two hundred taels outside Ding Yuan plus Wang Teng's one hundred taels are three hundred taels, and three hundred taels of silver is a lot of money, as long as the government adds a little more, it can be done.
If there is money, there are people, Guangling is mostly idle green-skinned idlers, as long as they are given a full meal, it is not difficult to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Seeing that the recruitment of villagers was already unstoppable, Zhao Xiancheng had no choice but to think of another idea: "My lord, the matter of the township soldiers is very important, I don't know if there is a candidate for the position of commander?" ”
Of course, Wei Yuan strongly supported Wang Teng, "How is this person?" ”
"Wang Tengyong is brave, but he has no experience in commanding troops, so I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
"Oh? Who is the candidate for Zhao Xiancheng? ”
"There are many talents in Ulzhou, why don't you choose from the army?"
This is to provoke the relationship between Wei Yuan and Ulzhou Wei, this thief is hateful!
Wei Yuan was annoyed in his heart, but his face did not change, "What Zhao Xiancheng said is extremely true, but the duties of the lieutenant general and colonel in the army are in his body, and this official has no way to control it."
"How is Guangling Baihu Zhangwang? This man is very good at military affairs, and if he is in command, you will be able to sit back and relax."
Wei Yuan smiled coldly, "The county is bothered, the township soldiers are inspecting, this is civil, how can you bother the hundreds of households in the army?" Moreover, this extraordinary system, if it is played to the imperial court, I am afraid that it will take a long time."
In fact, Zhao Xiancheng understood that no matter what, Wei Yuan would not be able to give up the military power of the township soldiers, and the reason why he proposed Zhang Wang was just to separate the two.
Successfully achieved the goal, Zhao Xiancheng did not say more.
As for the Ma Warden and Ding Yuan, they were completely suppressed by Wei Yuan's momentum.
It wasn't until the three of them left the house that Zhao County Cheng Fang hated iron and steel: "Judge Ma, why didn't you fight with reason just now?" ”
Ma Dian's official sighed, "Lord Wei is determined to win, and the people's will is him, so it's just a waste of our efforts."
"Hmph, do you want to let that yellow-mouthed erector lead the township soldiers?"
Ding Yuanwai came to his senses at this time, and said in his mouth: "Virtuous son-in-law, Lord Zhao, even if that Wang Teng is the commander, we have a way to make him unavailable."
"Oh? What's the solution? ”
"When the township soldiers are first established, they must be recruited from the county, as long as we put people in place, we can set up Wang Teng."
Zhao Xiancheng's eyes lit up, "Wonderful, this plan is very wonderful, Ma Dian, hurry up and order, you must not let Wang Teng succeed."
Ma Dian's spirit recovered a little, "When we see the move, we will definitely muddy this pool of clear water."
"Hahaha", the three of them looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
The county government, Wei Yuan told Wang Teng a few more words before letting him go.
Manpower was needed to recruit Xiangyong, and Wang Teng planned to transfer forty people from Zhuangzi.
