Chapter 125: Defending the Side

Seeing that he looked very anxious, he didn't come up arrogantly and proudly. On the contrary, with a group of respect, it is like himself apologizing and thanking. Lei Qing's anger suddenly disappeared.

What Lei Qing hates the most is those who are in his position and do not do anything. If this Jiang Kongsheng fell for the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, it would be understandable.

Because even if he is the god of war, he will also be calculated by people unintentionally, and he will occasionally be tricked. Throughout history, there has never been that famous general who has never made a mistake in his life.

At that moment, Lei Qing's face looked a little better, and he arched his hand and said: "General Jiang doesn't need to be polite, Lei also happened to be recruiting troops to pass by, and this Wula Village is the territory of my Iron Cavalry Regiment." It is impossible to sit back and watch being ravaged by horse thieves. "As for whether he really fell for the trick of the tiger, someone from the Iron Cavalry Regiment will naturally investigate, and he will not lie.

"Alas, Jiang is really ashamed, for the past year, our Seventh Iron Cavalry Regiment has been stationed in Yehe Town. Jiang Kongsheng sighed with a black face and said ashamedly: "Although Jiang has not made much achievements, he has always been conscientious. Unexpectedly, it was coming, but there was such a disaster. Although Brother Lei is assured, Jiang will definitely plead guilty to the Xiahou General Regiment for this matter. Brother Lei, I really want to thank you this time. Otherwise, Jiang will be discredited and will have no shame to see his father in the northwest again. Come, while it's still early, let's go to Yehe Town together, and it just so happens that Jiang Mou also told Brother Lei about things near Yehe Town. ”

Of course, Lei Qing couldn't ask for this good thing. Originally, I was worried about what Ye Hezhen's predecessor would think of him, but now it seems that he is a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly.

"Blackfaced, you're embarrassed this time. Xian Yubao led some guards and walked over with a laugh: "If it weren't for my boss to help you support the scene this time, you would be ready to wait to greet the stinky face of Deputy Qin's regiment after you go back." ”

"Earth leopard?" Jiang Kongsheng, the black-faced killing god, looked at him with some surprise: "You, why are you in the Black Flag Regiment? You call Brother Lei the boss? Are you kidding?"

"What, is it a shame to think that my family boss is ashamed?" Xian Yubao also gradually accepted this matter, especially Lei Qing could indeed convince him. I didn't think it was angry, but I was proud and said: "Look back on this matter and talk slowly, wait a few years, you will know how wise my decision is." ”

Jiang Kongsheng looked at Lei Qing in surprise, he didn't expect Xian Yubao to have such a high evaluation of Lei Qing. As a strong man of the same level, he recognizes people as the boss, and he looks very happy and takes it for granted. This Major General Lei Qing, is it really that good?

After pulling out the camp, the two groups of men and horses merged into one and headed all the way to Yeh Town. Xian Yubao couldn't help but brag loudly, saying how powerful his boss was, calculating that the vulture Helian Bo threw himself into the net, and finally defeated Helian Bo single-handedly with his own bravery. But unexpectedly, Helian Bo was too cunning, and he immediately fled when he saw that the situation was not good.

A group of generals of the seven regiments looked at each other as they listened. More than a year ago, they all participated in the battle of encircling and suppressing Helian Bo, and Helian Bo was so powerful that everyone can see it. After coming out of this dormant year after a year, he must have made progress in cultivation and diligence, and he was eager to take revenge.

But it is a miracle that this young general Lei Qing was able to win Helian Bo in a heads-up. Even Jiang Kongsheng, the black-faced killing god, thought that if he and Helian Bo faced each other alone, the winning side would be small and the loss side would be big.

For a while, everyone looked at Lei Qing's gaze again, and it was different again.

"Hehe, General Jiang, don't listen to the nonsense of your brothers. Lei Qing smiled humbly and said: "Although it was true that Helian Bo escaped in the end of that battle, the relationship between me and him was only evenly matched. If everyone fights to the death in a level playing field, the winner is at most fifty-five. "Lei Qing has never liked to belittle others in order to elevate his strength, even if he is disgusted with Helian Bo's personality, but he respects his strength very much.

Jiang Kongsheng took a deep breath of cold air: "I didn't expect Brother Lei that your martial arts fighting skills are so powerful, after your injuries heal a little, Jiang must ask you for advice." ”

A man who can mix in the army is so martial. I don't like hearsay, and I will only bow to it after I stretch it out with my own hands.

"Haha, since General Jiang is here to get around, then let's make an appointment after three days. "Lei Qing is also becoming more and more belligerent, relying on fighting, he can continue to hone his martial arts skills and gradually grow. He added: "General Jiang, don't shirk, Lei Mou is also because after the battle with Helian Bo, he has a lot of feelings, and he needs to find a master of the same level to confirm what he thinks." Lei's injury this time was not deep, and it took three days to recover. ”

"Since the young general is so proud, how dare Jiang not accompany him?" Jiang Kongsheng also agreed happily.

On the way to Yehe Town, Jiang Kongsheng also took the opportunity to introduce Lei Qing to the situation of the entire Yehe Town, including the nearby villages, scope, forces, and customs, etc., which made Lei Qing listen to it with relish.

For his first territory, Lei Qing is self-conscious. In the future, this will be a place for you to spread your wings and take off, and it will also be a qualification for yourself.

Only with such an experience of guarding one side can one's reputation continue to climb upward.

In Pancontinent, fame matters. Only those who are strong enough under their hands and have a loud and powerful reputation can respond to all calls and gradually establish their own power.

Lei Qing is determined to develop well in the Freedom Alliance this time, and it is also because the environment here is indeed suitable for an ambitious young man like himself.

Unlike the Tianlan Empire, if you want to climb up, it involves a lot, not to mention whether you are self-reliant or not. Like Lei Qing, if he dares to play self-reliance in the territory of Tianlan, the next day there will be an emperor [***] team to kill the door and eliminate the bandits.

As a result, although Jiang Kongsheng spoke verbosity, Lei Qing listened to it with relish, and kept asking questions to solve his doubts and confirm what he was thinking.

Until he arrived in Yehe Town, Lei Qing was not satisfied, and continued to pester Jiang Kongsheng to explain.

Jiang Kongsheng was helpless, so he had to say: "I just want to give you the wind and wash the dust, and after the banquet, you and I will talk all night." ”

After Lei Qing stationed the army, he took a group of cronies and brothers to participate in the reception banquet. At this kind of reception banquet, it is delicious and delicious. In the bold land of the northwest, drinking wine is similar to pouring water, and there are rules not to use vindictiveness to force wine.

It was also thanks to Lei Qing's drinking amount that he was not bad, and there were his own brothers to block the scene, so he didn't drink down in the end, and he talked with Jiang Kongsheng that night, and talked a lot about Yehe Town.

In the next few days, Lei Qing began to gradually control the government and military affairs of Yehe Town under the handover of Jiang Kongsheng. The troops under his command were all stationed in the military camp in Yehe Town, and Cheng Xiao and others trained first. Every day also began to arrange manpower to patrol the entire sphere of influence.

Various matters such as recruiting troops and horses have also begun to get on the right track. Because of the battle between Lei Qing and Helian Bo, his reputation has almost spread all over Yehe Town. As a result, the people within Yehe Town, instead of crowding out the new town guard, were quite supportive. People kept coming from all over the country to ask to join the Black Flag Army.

Under the merit-based admission, the Black Flag Army grew stronger and stronger, and the number of people under its command soon exceeded 400.

When Jiang Kongsheng handed over everything, he took his men back to Tieling City to report on his work. As for the discussion between him and Jiang Kongsheng, it was held privately at Lei Qing's suggestion, but no one knew the result, only that Jiang Kongsheng was polite to Lei Qing a lot.

And Lei Qing has also begun to really become a small warlord who guards one side.

Zhang Bang Anmin, recruiting troops, training troops. And, of course, there are also government affairs. Every day, Lei Qing was very busy. But these are all things that must be learned.

For the time being, Xian Yubao presided over the training and rectification, of course, it was carried out in accordance with Lei Qing's training requirements and outline. Lei Qing only needs to check it every day, and it will be a surprise attack.

The most troublesome thing for him is government affairs, although Yehe Town is small, it has all kinds of organs. Lei Qing used to be in the family, and he mostly studied military affairs. Although there are courses in government affairs, Lei Qing has never been interested in it.

If we can't thoroughly grasp government affairs, how can we really master one side? If we don't understand government affairs, won't we be fooled by the group of officials at the bottom?

Lei Qing also believed that it was reasonable for Uncle Xiahou to place him here. This is to give him the opportunity to exercise and become a real all-round talent. Light can fight, and can only be a martial general. If you want to really become a hegemon, you have to cover everything.

The government affairs team of Yehe Town, Lei Qing did not move him for the time being, but relied on Zhang Bang to find two masters. Accompany him every day, teach him to study finance, political affairs, look through files, and so on.

Lei Qing, once he learns seriously, the progress is still terrifying. After only half a month, after studying hard all night, I have basically thoroughly mastered the government affairs process and disposal methods of Yehe Town, and I am also clear about the financial aspects.

According to the current data, there are 16 villages under the jurisdiction of Yehe Town, with a total population of more than 36,000, including more than 13,000 strong men and women over the age of 15 and under the age of 40.

But there is a lot of land area, and Yehe Town has a vast area, almost the same size as a county seat in Zhongzhou. This is a typical place with a small population and a vast territory.

Moreover, Yehe Town is still very poor, and it collects taxes twice a year, and it can collect more than 3,000 gold coins a year. It sounds like a lot, but in fact it is pitiful, and it was only enough for government and military expenses in the past, and if you want to invest in development, you have no money left.

What's more, Lei Qing also needs to hand over 30% of the tax revenue to the Iron Cavalry Regiment. And Lei Qing's Black Flag Regiment has a large expense, so after calculation, Lei Qing has to paste a large amount of gold coins every year to maintain it. This is not counting the settling-in allowance given by Lei Qing to recruit soldiers.

As soon as he saw this result, Lei Qing began to be speechless. I finally have a piece of land, and I have to pay for it?
