Chapter 31: VIPs

(New books for recommendation, collection!) The support of my friends is my biggest motivation! Please, please, and thank you very much! )

Zhang Renjie exterminated the Sea Dragon King, which was a big deal, but he didn't realize how big it was. The county order Lu Xiangjiu didn't use it at all, he ran to the county office by himself, and he took the initiative to come! Early in the morning, when the sun had just shown a smiling face, Lu Xiangjiu had already arrived outside Zhangjiazhuang with his master and Zong Ze of the Inspection Division, and more than 30 inspection soldiers under his command.

It was early in the morning this summer, and at five o'clock the team members had already gotten up to start drilling, and they did not rest today because of yesterday's battle. Zhang Renjie is the same, he has always led by example. He only did more training than he did, and never less than the players.

Although the second platoon is stationed on the side of Wujiazhuang, and the nine people who went out to be injured, and there are only fifty-eight people on the training ground, the momentum is still not lost as usual. In the morning, as in the past few days, we will have to practice boxing, anti-strike training, and actual combat training, and in the afternoon, we will conduct marksmanship training.

After yesterday's battle, the overall temperament has been sublimated, and at the same time, because a lot of deficiencies were found in yesterday's battle, so in today's skill training, they are more hard-working, and they are all unwilling to be left behind.

Even the four bandits who were tied up and bitten by mosquitoes all night by the barracks of the training ground were dumbfounded. It's no wonder that such a team will lose! Zhang Yulang, who is white in the waves, is thinking in his heart at the moment, such a team can be regarded as elite soldiers no matter where it is placed, and he dare not say that one is ten, but it is no problem to be one when he is three. How could the 180 people they came over be the opponents of the 100 elite people, isn't this looking for abuse?

Lu Xiangjiu got out of the carriage and immediately saw the situation on the training ground, looked at it for a while, and was also shocked, although he didn't know much about soldiers, but he could still tell whether he was a good soldier or a bad soldier. Not to mention the patrol Zong Ze and the more than 30 soldiers under his command, they were all surprised, look at the posture of others, and then look at themselves, it is really more people than people have to die, and goods have to be thrown away! If the soldiers trained by this Zhang family group practice with them one-on-one, they will definitely not be opponents, and these inspections are well aware of this.

Zhang Renjie saw Lu Xiangjiu bringing people from a distance, so he immediately called to stop the training of the players. At the same time, let everyone line up and run to the side, each with their own weapon on their back! After the team was lined up, Lu Xiangjiu was almost at the training ground. Zhang Renjie He had also seen it, so he didn't care about the others and came directly to Zhang Renjie!

"Oh, nephew, young hero! I am an old acquaintance of your father, so it's not an exaggeration to call you a good nephew! Lu Xianling ran over with a smile on his face, and took Zhang Renjie's hand enthusiastically and said.

"Oh, it's the county lord, the county lord is in love, where does the little nephew dare to be!" I don't dare to be a nephew, and I already call myself a little nephew, and this mutual relationship is only good and not bad. "I don't know if the county lord came to the village."

"I got a report yesterday evening, saying that the virtuous nephew led the regiment to train soldiers and horses to break the lair of the Sea Dragon King, and captured the bandit leader Sea Dragon King and the three masters Langli Baitiao, is there such a thing?"

"That's right, they're over there, but last night the Sea Dragon King and a bandit broke free from the rope and tried to escape, and my team members stabbed them in the chest on the spot and died! There are still four bandits left under the command of the Sea Dragon King, and they are now tied to the pillar over there! As he spoke, Zhang Renjie pointed to a few people tied up on the edge of the barracks and said.

"Yes, yes! I wonder if the virtuous nephew can hand over these people to the county government for disposal? Lu Xiangjiu asked expectantly.

Zhang Renjie felt a little strange, are a few bandit leaders so important? When did this Lu County order become so polite. "Didn't the newly appointed governor of Qian issued a notice saying that if bandits are found in the local area, they will immediately report to the county government, and if they are captured, they will be escorted directly to the government office?"

"Hehe, it's the same when it is handed over to the county government!" Lu Xiangjiu originally came over to directly take away the Sea Dragon King and other bandit leaders, but when he saw that these team members under Zhang Renjie were all mighty and majestic, and he was a rare good soldier, he also moved his mind and wanted to win him over. It's not easy to be a county magistrate these days, it's not easy to make money, there are still a lot of bandits on the run, it's really useless to rely on the inspection department and those heads in the county, and he has long been clear about what kind of virtue those people are.

Zhang Renjie is also smiling, this official is different, unless it is to show off his power to the small people who have no identity at all, the rest of the time is basically smiling and welcoming people. You don't know when he's really smiling and when he's smirking, you don't need to teach thick black to learn, everyone is a master!

"Young Master Zhang, the county lord is here to pick up people in person today, you better hurry up and escort those bandits over, let's leave after we mention people!" Zong Ze on the side said in a straight tone, he is jealous, real envy, jealousy and hatred, look at people, not to mention this team, it is the guy in his hand, everyone has a gun! You don't care if it's a new gun or an old gun, anyway, the guy in the hands of people is hard enough. Looking at his team again, the thirty or so people he brought with him were not standing in the same position, and there were fifteen guns in their hands, and more than half of them were holding spears. The comparison between the two sides is too far! There is no comparison at all!

"It's not right for Lord Zong to speak like this, as soon as Lord Zong took office, he issued an edict that all county inspections, group exercises, etc. must take the initiative to eliminate local bandits, and if there is any capture, immediately escort the prefect's yamen to be dealt with by the prefect, why, Lord Zong disagrees with the prefect's edict?" Zhang Renjie will not be polite to him now, anyway, he has already obtained the paperwork for handling the group training, and he can donate an official in a month, where do you need to look at his face.

"Of course, your subordinates obey the orders of the prefect, but this Qinghe County is still under the jurisdiction of my inspection department, and this elimination of bandits is a matter within the scope of this official. You are a small private group training, and you should obey the arrangement of the county lord! Zong Ze was furious, but he still restrained himself and brought out Lu Xiangjiu to speak.

There must be a problem here, is it necessary to be so active for the sake of the two bandit leaders? Zhang Renjie still doesn't know the reason why the Qian prefect issued this order, but there must have been a motive for doing so. It turned out that the newly appointed prefect Qian was also entrusted by others, and his main target was the Hongze Lake Water Bandit Sea Dragon King. However, he is only brewing, the troops under his hand are enough, and he has already sent out spies to start exploring the movements of the Sea Dragon King, but it has only been a few days, and there is no result, Zhang Renjie copied the Sea Dragon King's lair and captured the Sea Dragon King alive.

The person who entrusted the prefect of Qian to clean up the Sea Dragon King also has a great background, it is Chu Wanli, the political envoy of Jiangning who has just been appointed by the imperial court, but he has not yet arrived at the moment and is on his way from the capital to Jiangsu. Chu Wanli was the prefect of Huai'an Mansion ten years ago, when he personally organized the army to clean up the bandits in Huai'an Mansion and defeated a few big ones, but he lost when he marched into Hongze Lake. In fact, at that time, he was also careless, the terrain of Hongze Lake was the most complicated, all water, and dense reeds, he only aimed at the Sea Dragon King after beating a few bandits.

The Sea Dragon King saw that Chu Wanli's movements were so big, could they keep an eye on the movements of the government from time to time. Therefore, before Chu Wanli transferred troops into the lake, the Sea Dragon King and others had already hidden, and when the officers and soldiers wandered around Hongze Lake for a few days and found nothing and were tired, he suddenly came to a sneak attack, and almost killed Chu Wanli without a shot. Chu Wanli wolf bèi escaped, and later transferred to another place as an official.

Now that Chu Wanli is back, he suddenly remembered the shame of the year, so he sent a message to his student Qian Rongfeng, asking him to order the bandits, and at the same time he did not make a move, but secretly investigated the movements of the Sea Dragon King of the Water Thieves in Hongze Lake first, and it was best to find out his lair, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop. Lu Xiangjiu also knew about this matter, because Qian Rongfeng specially looked for him, because his Qinghe County was next to Hongze Lake, and the matter of listening to the news also fell on him.

Zhang Renjie took down the Sea Dragon King, personally eliminated and captured a group of bandits, he had to go over first, fortunately, he showed his face in front of Lord Chu, the political envoy who had not yet arrived, and made a contribution, which would be of great benefit to his own promotion in the future!
