Chapter 21: The Prototype of the Fujiao Army
After entering the county office, Li Qin saw that it was just a main hall, with a wing room on the left and right, and the yamen of Fuping was really not big.
Tang Jie led Li Qin to a side room, turned back to a small official in the crowd and said, "Who told you to just watch the excitement, why don't you bring the roster and let Li Lang pick up the troops!" ”
This little official ran out to be a crowd of onlookers just now, and when he heard the county magistrate's words, he hurriedly came over and said, "Please Li Lang follow me into the house." ”
Li Qin hurriedly said: "I'm tired!" "The little official is just a sword and pen official, although the position is low, but the person in charge of the roster cannot afford to offend, and you must be quite polite to this kind of person.
Tang Jie said: "Li Lang go and pick troops, pick whoever you want, and the official will never interfere!" "If he is always accompanied by a flat-headed people, it is unrealistic, but he does not say that I am gone, you are busy going by yourself, but that he does not interfere, this favor will be sold, it is the way of speaking.
Li Qin hurriedly clenched his fists again and said, "Congratulations to my lord!" ”
Yusuke smiled at him, walked through the main hall, and went back to his back house.
Li Qin followed the little official into the wing room, and the little official opened a large cabinet by the wall, took out a large handful of bamboo slips from it, piled them on the table, and said: "Li Lang, these are the rosters of recruits, I'll give you a name first, and then you can pick again!" ”
Li Qin turned around and called Xu Xiaoni in, and said, "Both of us have to sign up, I'm afraid we need two bamboo slips." ”
The little official took out two new bamboo slips and said with a smile: "There is a shortage of everything else in our yamen, and there are many worthless bamboo slips." After taking the pen and ink, I asked how to write the names of Li Qin and Xu Xiaoni, and recorded them on the bamboo slips.
Li Qin looked at the bamboo slips and thought: "The chicken rib bow technique recorded in my silk book doesn't it just need a lot of bamboo boards, look at these bamboo slips, the quality is good!" ”
The little official pushed the bamboo slips on the table at Li Qin, and said, "Li Lang picks someone, you definitely want this Brother Xu, then pick four more and pick a few more!" ”
Li Qin was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "Isn't one Shi ten people, could it be that Shi refers to six in this year?" He asked, "Pick four more?" That's only six plus me! ”
The little official laughed dryly twice, and said: "Our Fuping is based on this rule, originally the full amount was four hundred soldiers, but the adults couldn't afford to raise it, so it was changed to sixty percent of the actual amount, two hundred and forty soldiers, but in fact, there are only more than 100 soldiers in our county, so didn't Meng Mu go to your village, the more than 100 people he brought with him are more than half of the people!" ”
Li Qin frowned and said: "It's just this little soldier, if the Hu people come, it's not easy to resist." ”
"That's why we have to recruit soldiers!" The little official said: "I haven't recruited many people these days, and it is estimated that two hundred and forty people can be gathered, but if there are four hundred, the elders have to figure out their own way." Li Lang, the remaining four you can recruit by yourself, if you recruit all of them, count your luck, if you can't recruit them all, don't worry, if Hu Qi goes south, the people will still go to the city to resist in order to protect their hometown, so you don't have to worry about no one to command. ”
This time, Li Qin smiled dryly, how could there be such a thing, it was really unexpected, this is not exactly the same as pulling Zhuang Ding when the matter is approaching!
The little official pointed to the bamboo slips and said, "Don't look at this big pile, but in fact, most of them have been picked away, and you can only choose from the remaining twenty people." He picked out the twenty bamboo slips.
Taking advantage of this gap, Li Qin took out the money bag from his arms, grabbed a handful of five baht coins, stuffed them into the hands of the little official, and said, "Little meaning, brother, don't dislike it." ”
The little official was taken aback, looked at the money in his hand, and said, "Why is this...... Oops, that's embarrassing! But his hand was clenched tightly, and he didn't mean to excuse himself, and a smile appeared on his face.
Xu Xiaoni watched from behind, grinned, and thought: "Send things again, my brother Qin is really generous, he didn't wait for anything to be hot, so he was in a hurry to send it out!" ”
Li Qin smiled and said, "I haven't asked my brother how to call him, what is his official position?" ”
It seemed that the little official rarely had the opportunity to collect money, so he hurriedly put the money in his arms and said, "My surname is Jing Mingming, and I am the county magistrate of this county." ”
Li Qin sighed, this person is not a small official, he is actually a county official, no wonder he can be in charge of the roster, but how can he look so obscene, like a small official who runs errands. He hurriedly said: "Disrespectful and disrespectful, it turned out to be Lord Jing, the younger brother lost his respect just now, Lord Jing is not strange!" ”
Jing Ming sighed, waved his hand and said, "What adult, don't call me that, I'm just a poor official who can only support my family." ”
Li Qin said: "Then I will call you Brother Jing, we will have more contacts in the future!" As he spoke, he picked up the bamboo slips and began to pick people.
It's really hard to pick just by the name and not by the person. Li Qin first looked at all the twenty bamboo slips and found that there was only one familiar one, and the name on this bamboo slip was Wu Danzi. This person is a person who went to Fujiao Village to eat mutton last night, Li Qin asked everyone's names at that time, and this person's name is easy to remember, so when I look at it now, I remember.
He remembered that the black egg was lean, with long legs and long hands, a pair of eyes that protruded, always turning around, looking around when queuing, sneaky, and looking like a rooster and dog thief. When this kind of person is a common man, stealing everything belongs to the scourge level, but if he becomes a soldier, he is a good material for a scout.
Scouts were very important in the era of cold weapon warfare with underdeveloped information, belonging to the scouts and spies of ancient times. Mozi once said: Defend the city, start with the Hou; And "The Biography of General Li in the Historical Records" also said: However, he was also far away from the scout, and he was not killed. In the Han Dynasty, scouts were the elite who belonged directly to the princes. If the scouts in an army are excellent, the probability of winning the battle will increase exponentially, the situation of our army is not known to the enemy, and the situation of the enemy army is clear to our army, Sun Wu and his old man have said: expect the enemy to win, calculate the danger and misfortune, and the way of the general.
Li Qin pointed to this bamboo slip and said, "I want this person!" ”
Jing Ming glanced at the bamboo slip, shook his head and said, "Li Lang, I advise you not to ask him, this person is a habitual thief, but he is rarely caught." Everyone knows that he is a villain, but there is no evidence to convict him, otherwise he will have to live in prison for the rest of his life! If he hadn't been in a hurry to make up the numbers, he would have signed up as a soldier, and we wouldn't have accepted it. ”
Li Qin smiled and said, "Then I have to ask for him even more." I want to influence him, let him change his ways, and be a new man! He picked up the bamboo slip again and said, "I don't know if there are fierce and aggressive people here, so I'll also be influenced by the way!" ”
Jing Ming glanced at him as if he was looking at a monster, and said, "Probation? Where does this begin? He pointed to a bamboo slip and said: "If you want to say that he is fierce and aggressive, this one named Shen Yi is the number one in the row, he is a lone robber, he was caught in an accident, and he is still in prison. ”
Li Qin said: "How was he caught?" ”
Jing Ming said: "I was knocked unconscious by a person named Wu Xiaosan, who also signed up for the army, and he is also guilty of meritorious service." ”
Li Qin said puzzledly: "You are also making meritorious contributions?" He caught Shen Yi, it's a credit, right? ”
Jing Ming snorted and said, "He's a horse thief." That Shen Yi robbed a few good horses from a Hu Shang, but they were stolen by him, and the black ate the black. Shen Yi chased after him, the two started fighting, both were injured, it happened that we received a report from Hu Shang, rushed to find the horse, and found that the horse was grazing on the side, they were lying on the ground and fainted, we found the horse back and put them in prison! ”
Li Qin laughed and said, "I want these two people too!" ”
Jing Ming sizzled and said, "Li Lang, why do you want this kind of person?" Habitual thieves, horse thieves, lone thieves, one is worse than the other, there are no half good people, they are all other than others! ”
Li Qin said with a smile: "If others don't want it, I want it, isn't this just a good way to relieve the worries of the county commander!" ”
Jing Ming sighed and said, "There is only one place left." Well, I'll recommend one to you, although it's not a good product, it's much better than these three. ”
He picked up a bamboo slip, pointed to the name on it for Li Qin to see, and said: "This person is the son of my cousin, my cousin Jingchun is a famous doctor in our Fuping County, he is kind and elegant, but the son who was born is extremely stubborn. ”
Li Qin looked at the bamboo slip and saw that the name written on it was Jing Qi, and he said: "Most of the injustices in our Fuping are related to the soup table, so it is possible that the person he provoked is the soup table." ”
Jing Ming nodded and said: "Exactly, last month, he saw Tang Biao bullying the people, so he took action, but he was beaten by Tang Biao and his subordinates, and he was not regarded as a hero." My cousin was so angry that he went to their house for a month in a row, and he went to their house every night......"
Li Qin said in surprise: "Could it be that he wants to kill Tang Biao?" "This kid is really kind, he just stabbed Tang Biao's ribs, but Jingqi actually had the idea of killing.
Jing Ming sighed and said: "That's not, he scattered urine into Tang Biao's well for a month, and let Tang Biao drink urine every day." I didn't think that a few days ago I was discovered, after he fled home, my cousin scolded him, this kid came to join the army, when he came to sign up, it happened that I was not there, let him report his name, it is easy to sign up for the name but it is difficult, the rice has become a cook. I heard that Li Lang had beaten the soup table and his men down alone, and if he was willing to help, he would take my cousin and nephew and take more care of him. ”
Li Qin nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take Jingqi and teach him martial arts, so that he won't be afraid of soup noodles in the future." ”
Jing Ming glanced out of the door and said, "The county magistrate is fine, but the sons and nephews of the Tang family should be careful." The county lieutenant of this county is the adult's own nephew, named Tang Ren, this Tang Ren is Tang Biao's brother, and this time Tang Biao joined the army, he was originally a small official, and he was a member of the Tang clan, as soon as he joined the army, he would become an officer, and Li Lang should be more careful in the future! ”
Li Qin frowned and said, "Didn't Tang Biao be injured by me, that injury is not light." There is no three months to recover, even if it is to walk on the ground, it will take half a month to complete! ”
Jing Ming smiled bitterly: "My cousin is a doctor, I am afraid that Tang Biao will retaliate against his son in the future, so I desperately went to treat Tang Biao, wanting to resolve the grudge, Tang Biao's injury healed very quickly, it is not possible to participate in the performance, but it is no problem to stand and pretend, who would dare to embarrass him!" ”
Li Qin snorted, put the bamboo slip back on the table, and said, "Don't care about him, if you dare to provoke me again, the bones of your whole body will be broken!" There is Brother Lao Jing, I want to meet these selected people, is it convenient? ”
Jing Ming nodded and said, "Jing Qi and Wu Danzi are not in the ya, but Shen Yi and Wu Xiaosan are, let's go to the prison now!" ”
――
The second more is delivered. The little diligent horn guards are like death squads, with all kinds of thorns. Brothers and sisters, vote, add favorites, and thank you for peace!
