Chapter 6 Getting on the right track
Wen Ba came on horseback in a wave of twenty-three or four people, acting in unison, and immediately frightened the pranksters and scoundrels who were tangled outside the hospital.
Wen Chou stepped out of the courtyard first, explained the current situation to Wen Ba and the others, and took Wen Ba aside alone and whispered: "I have a bet with Lin Qing of the Township Pavilion, that is, how many people and horses I provide for the township, Lin Qing will also provide the same number, and you can do this and so for a while!" Wen Ba nodded and willingly went to convey the message in the future life of the Bowen clan.
After Qin Zhang, Liu Zhong and others came out, they saw twenty or thirty men, and they were all familiar with each other. The Wen family is still relatively prestigious and well-known in this township.
Seeing that the descendants of the Wen clan already knew, Wen Chou said to Lin Qingyan: "Lin Jun, these are the people and horses I want to provide, I don't know if Lin Jun you have to keep your promise?" ”
As soon as Lin Qing saw Wen Chou and Wen Ba muttering on the side, he felt bad, and he didn't know what the mistake was, when he heard Wen Chou say this, he couldn't help but suddenly feel that this was Wen colluding to trap him! But he didn't give up and said: "Ha, ha, ha, is Brother Wen Chou joking?" Who of you here doesn't know that these people are good people, and these horses also have their own owners, how can you say that you are ugly, that is, you are not your slaves, how can you provide them? ”
Wen scandal said, smiled at the angry red-faced Lin Qing and said: "Lin Jun lives in the Township Pavilion, I don't know, they are indeed my slaves, and the horses have already been purchased by me." ”
Wen Ba and the others cooperated: "What Wen Jun said is true! ”
Qin Zhang, Liu Zhong and others also knew the meaning of Wen Chou, this is Wen singing a double reed, trapping Lin Qing, and they all laughed and said nothing.
When Lin Qing heard Wen Chou say this, he was so angry that he trembled and pointed at Wen Chou and Wen Ba and said, "You, you ......"
Wen Chou arched his hand to Qin Zhangyi and said to Lin Qing: "Lin Jun doesn't want to fulfill his promise, but the black and white words are wandering around Lord Qin, and besides, there are only twenty-four people and twenty-four horses, with Lin Jun's millions of family fortunes, do you still care about this little money?" ”
In fact, in the Jizhou boundary, the price of an inferior horse is between 6,000 yuan and 20,000 yuan. Ordinary slaves are around 3000 money. In this way, Lin Qing only needs to provide about 250,000 yuan. Wen Chou knows that Lin Qingcai is generous, but he can't push people too quickly, right?
Lin Qing was so angry that he trembled all over, and he didn't answer, he turned around and found the horses and left, the people he brought with him were confused, and they were stunned for a while, what happened in the courtyard? Lin Qing was so deflated for a while? When I looked at Wen Chou, I couldn't help but feel hairy in my heart.
Seeing that Lin Qing was leaving, Wen Chou knew that he had compromised, and shouted: "Lin Jun has agreed, so when will he help him?" ”
Lin Qing turned around and said indignantly: "Tomorrow, Xiangting." Seeing that the stunned subordinate was even more angry: "What are you still doing in a daze!" Let's go! "Those pimples and scoundrels scolded and followed Lin Qing away!
Seeing Lin Qing and them walking away, Qin Zhang sighed and said, "Brother Wen Chou, admire and admire!" Liu Zhong, Tie Qian, and Dong Jiang also praised Wen Chou.
Wen Chou hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Some little things, you can't admire." ”
Wen Chou also thought of the crux in his heart: "This Lin Qing is offended to the end, but I don't know how deep his relationship with the county Liu family is, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse!" ”
You Qin Zhang said thoughtfully: "Now that the personnel, horses, etc. have been settled, how should this scout and training task be distributed?" ”
"You definitely can't use Lin Qing's people, his skinny and scoundrels will definitely do bad things!" Liu Zhong immediately answered.
"Well, now Brother Liu has thirty horses and forty-six good hands on Brother Tie and Brother Dong, and Brother Qin has twenty people and ten horses! In addition to these twenty-four people and horses, my Wen clan can also draw ten people and ten horses, plus Lin Qing's twenty horses, so that there are eighty-four horses and one hundred people! If you collect purchases in the township, you should be able to gather enough horses for a hundred horses! Wen Chou counted by hand.
Qin Zhang's eyes also lit up and he said excitedly: "That's a whole tun of cavalry!" "It's no wonder that Qin Zhang is excited, he is just the commander of the Sanshi townsmen, this tun is still a cavalry, I am excited to think about it! Liu Zhong and other rangers were also quite moved.
The army of the Han Dynasty was a tribal system, with an organizational system of ministry, qu, tun, team, shi, and wu under the leading general. The department was the highest level of establishment in the Han army (about 800 to 1,000 troops), and it was under the command of the general who led the army when going out to fight. When there is a school captain, the school captain leads the department, and when there is no school captain, Sima leads the department, which is very flexible. The subordinates are Qu, 200 people, with the military waiting as the main officer. There is a tun under the song, 100 people, and the chief officer is the tun chief. There is a team under the tun, fifty people are a team, there is a team rate, there is a team under the team, ten people have a long team, there is a team under the team, and there is a team of five people and a team has a team leader. If there is a shortage of lieutenants in the department, the military Sima will be in charge. The deputy positions of the military Sima include the military fake Sima and the fake marquis.
Wen Chou couldn't help but remind: "Don't forget, there are still scouts who need horses!" ”
Qin Zhang thought for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Well, the most important thing is the scouts, how many scouts should be arranged around the township?" ”
"Our township is only about twelve miles away," Liu Zhong looked at Dong Jiang and continued, "But we still need to include the Thorn Pu Township ten miles northwest of us!" ”
"This is natural, although Gaoyi County is in our southwest direction, but other directions cannot be relaxed!" You Qin Zhang affirmed.
Dong Jiang arched his hand and said nothing, but his excited look was still unobstructed.
"So we need to send a team of fifty men to act as scouts, and these fifty men must be skilled in riding! The main roads are distributed within fifty miles outside the township, and the southwest direction is emphatically arranged! Wen Chou muttered.
"The children of the Wen clan are all skilled in archery and horses, and they can do this!" You Qin Zhang said again.
"The rest of the manpower can be selected from the rangers." Liu Zhong added.
"So it's decided, the townsmen and the rest of the rangers are responsible for training the villagers, and forming a team of cavalry to support the whole township!" Wen Chou concluded.
"An army cannot be an army without a commander, and the rate of each team must be determined." Qin Zhang said excitedly.
Wen Chou and the others knew that Qin Zhang wanted to lead the cavalry, and said: "Naturally, it is headed by Brother Qin, and Brother Qin is willing to serve as the leader of this cavalry team?" ”
Qin Zhang was overjoyed and waved his hand again and again: "How can you be in this position!" ”
"It has to be Brother Qin!" Liu Zhong and others also expressed their positions.
After repeating this, Qin Zhang was also happy to agree and said: "Brother Wenchou is brave and resourceful, and he can be my deputy!" ”
Wen Chou didn't shirk and immediately arched his hand: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate!" ”
Later, they discussed the responsibilities of each person, Liu Zhong led the scout team, Wen Chou was responsible for the training of the villagers, Dong Jiang and Tie Qian were Wen Chou's deputies, and the others would not be repeated one by one.
In the afternoon of the same day, Wen Chou and others came to the township official temple and carefully inquired about the township Youzhi Du Yi and the three elders Jiang Cheng. I learned that the villagers are tidying up their belongings today in case of contingencies, and the specific drills and fortifications will have to wait until tomorrow.
……
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, all the pavilions in Shahe Township were already noisy.
The Wen's Pavilion in the north and the three pavilions in its vicinity are influenced by the Wen's and the folk customs are quite strong, and they are selected as the first place for the villagers to receive military training.
I saw more than 500 strong men scattered in the four pavilions for a total of 33 miles gathered near the official temple, a group of three, and a wave of five people chatting about the topic of Tiannan and Haibei.
In fact, it is not so much a strong man, but there are more than 200 strong men between the ages of 20 and 30, and the range of the township is between the ages of 14 and 45. Even so, more than 500 people were selected.
Seeing this, Wen Chou shook his head and thought: "It's really a group of chaotic people, but there is no army that is not composed of chaotic people, and it is just a lack of training." Then he smiled bitterly at himself and took the chore.
The bell rang with a "bang", and the chaotic crowd slowly quieted down.
Wen Chou took the opportunity to say: "Fellow villagers, I am Wen Chou in the Wen clan, and I will be responsible for your training for a period of time in the future." He pointed to Tie Qian and Dong Jiang who were standing on both sides and said, "Tie Qian and Dong Jiang serve as my deputies!" ”
Before the villagers finished listening to a word, they were making a fuss again! The one who said "Wen Chou is the son of Wen Liegong", this one asked this, "Wen Chou is the filial piety Saburo Wen Chou?" Some people said, "How old is Wen Chou, the milk smell has not dried, and he still trains us?" "Who are Tie Qian and Dong Jiang? ”。 It's so confusing!
"Knock, knock, knock......" Wen Chou struck the bell hanging outside the courtyard three times in a row, and the bell buzzed for a while, lingering around the official temple, endlessly. The people were also silent for a while.
"There are no rules, there is no circle, everyone rushed to participate in this matter, I think it is with the purpose of protecting the homeland! In this case, we should have rules to restrain our behavior, so that we can gain greater strength in training to protect ourselves and protect our homeland! Wen Chou struggled and shouted, "Now please follow the order." ”
After Wen Chou finished speaking this time, the villagers were obviously much quieter, and Wen Chou whispered a few words to Tie Qian, the "Ba Shuang Halberd", and Dong Jiang, the "Dwarf Shilang".
Wen Chou and the others first shouted at everyone to line up, and it was another messy word! It took a quarter of an hour to arrange a look, which made Wen Chou and the others sweat profusely and look at each other! Subsequently, Wen Chou appointed some rangers to serve as four commanders and eleven team leaders, and the captains and chiefs were selected by each Wugoshi himself. And promised: "These people who serve as team leaders and tun chiefs are not fixed, you can use your own efforts, as long as you get everyone's approval, this team rate, the position of tun chief is yours!" ”
When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but cheer! The one-day training is full of complaints, not to go into details, after all, it is the first day!
The second pavilion near the township pavilion took the lead in the task of building fortifications, and there were about more than 400 strong men under the command of Du Yi and other township officials! In addition, about 300 strong men were drawn from the Santing Institute near the south to temporarily build a soup shack a mile outside the countryside as a defense officer to help women and children receive the displaced people who came to defect.
Under the command of Jiang Cheng, the third elder of the township, the old and weak women and children received the displaced people and prepared military supplies, and the displaced people also set up thatched tents for temporary residence with the help of the villagers of Shahe, and joined the army of Shahe Township to resist the thieves! Xiangting Lin Qing also provided people and horses according to the contract, but it was twenty-four inferior horses and twenty-four old slaves, but it was better than nothing, and Wen Chou laughed at it.
Shahe Township is gradually on the right track! Wen Chou's takeover of the Wen family's position as the head of the affairs was also carried out smoothly under the auspices of Wen Yu.
