Chapter 78
After entering the county guard's mansion, Tang Yin was very busy.
The officials and wealthy armor of the county town have to deal with it, and the accumulated government affairs and military affairs must also be dealt with in a timely manner, and the military funds and salaries brought back from Shunzhou must be distributed.
Seeing that the time was not early, it was only then that all the officials and rich armor got up to say goodbye to Tang Yin, who arranged for Qiu Zhen to send them away, and instructed Qiu Zhen to have a good relationship with everyone, and that he would handle all the affairs of government affairs in the future, while he himself would concentrate on military affairs.
Qiu Zhen grinned secretly about this, it was okay to ask him to give advice, but he didn't know anything about government affairs, but he also understood that at this stage, Tang Yin couldn't find a caring henchman to help him deal with government affairs, even if he was embarrassed, he had to bite the bullet and go ahead.
Subsequently, Tang Yin asked Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong to arrange to endure it, escorted by Gu Yue and Lotte, and sent part of the military funds and salaries to the military camp and distributed them to the soldiers, and the remaining part was stored in the county guard mansion for use when needed in the future, and then he sent an order to post notices in various cities and towns in the county to recruit new soldiers.
His proposal to expand the strength of Pingyuan County to five corps was not just a casual talk, but a real intention to do so. In the end, he asked Qiu Zhen to write a chapter and report the expansion of the army to the royal court, of course, the chapter was not directly handed over to the Wind King Zhanhua, but first passed to Wu Mei to consult her opinion to see if there was anything wrong.
After arranging these things, Tang Yin found time to eat.
Now his position has been improved, but the food is not as good as before, the products of Pingyuan County are far less abundant than Yancheng, there is a lack of vegetables, and there are few types of meat, as for seafood, I can't find it, but fortunately, Tang Yin is not picky, as long as he can fill his belly, it doesn't matter what he does.
After a hasty meal, Bai Yong had already asked his soldiers to bring Pab horses, a specialty of the city-state of Besa, as well as some armor and weapons of the brutes.
The Prabhu horse was indeed majestic, with short, shiny dark brown fur, and a thick body that was at least a lap larger than the horses of the Windy Country.
Li Wei, Liu Zhongsheng, Chen Fang, and Ai Jia curiously circled around the war horse, touching in the east, touching in the west, and praising them.
Tang Yin walked forward, patted the horse's back hard, the war horse stood up and did not move, as steady as Mount Tai, Tang Yin nodded, grabbed the brown hair of the war horse with one hand, turned over and jumped, and turned around twice in the courtyard, feeling that although it was not as good as the 'Ruying' that Wu Mei gave herself, it was much stronger than the ordinary Fengguo war horse, but the horse speed was slightly slower.
After getting off the horse, he didn't say anything, and walked to the armor of the Besa soldiers, and picked up a helmet casually, the helmet is made of pure steel, thick and heavy, with a face shield in front, leaving only the gap between the eyes, with the head, completely covering the person's face, and then look at the armor, and the helmet is much the same, the same material, the same thickness, the same degree of closure, this pair of armor weighs a scale, not to mention a hundred pounds of weight, wearing it on the body, it is equivalent to covering a layer of steel shell, if you don't use a spirit weapon, want to split it, it is really difficult.
He dropped his armor and made a muffled thud when he landed, and he asked, "General Bai, all the barbarians wear this kind of armor?"
"No!" Bai Yong Zhengse said, "This is the armor of the barbarian heavy cavalry, and the armor of ordinary infantry is much lighter than this. ”
"Oh!" Tang Yin stole a little.
Li Wei played with an arm guard in his hand and asked with a smile: "I hate to wonder if wearing this kind of armor can still move around on the battlefield." ”
Bai Yong glanced at Li Wei and said, "The barbarians' heavy cavalry will not leave the war horse, so there is no need to move.
Li Wei nodded, and picked up another steel sword, the body of this sword was wide, thick and long, not to mention fighting with this kind of thing, it was difficult to hold it alone.
Bai Yong explained: "This kind of sword is the weapon of the heavy cavalry, and there is also this kind of ......" As he spoke, he picked up a spear from the ground, the length of which was almost close to the flagpole, the back was thin, the middle was thick, the front end was pointed, and the body of the spear was extremely heavy, such a weapon, it is not difficult to imagine the great lethality produced by the cavalry in the full sprint.
With the current equipment of the Wind Soldiers, it is true that going head-to-head with the brutes of such equipment does not account for any of the game.
Tang Yin rubbed his chin and lowered his head in contemplation.
There is no difference between the confrontation between the two armies and the duel between the masters, no matter how strong the opponent's defense is, but there are still flaws in the end, the key is to see if you can find out the opponent's weaknesses.
Besa's hoplite defense is very strong, but there must also be weaknesses, but where is this weakness?
Tang Yin frowned slightly, and couldn't figure out a clue for a while, he said to Bai Yong: "Don't take these things away first, store them here with me, okay?"
"Of course you can!" Bai Yong said quickly.
Tang Yin turned around and went back to the room, and at the same time said to everyone: "Everyone come in, I have something to discuss with you." ”
I don't know what it is, everyone followed Tang Yin into the house.
After taking his seat, Tang Yin said: "The matter of resisting the barbarians can be postponed, but the bandits in Pingyuan County must be solved immediately. ”
He still understands the principle that foreign aid must first be secured, and the Besa soldiers are just external enemies, and the real threat is internal trouble.
Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong looked at each other, and neither of them spoke.
Tang Yin continued: "Guan Yuanwu and Guan Yuanbiao, these bandits, are so bold that even my team dares to rob, who else do they dare not rob? Therefore, if you want to cure the bandits, you must first attack these two brothers, General Zhang and General Bai, what do you mean?"
"This"
"I know that Guan Yuanwu and Guan Yuanbiao are Guan Yuanji's younger brothers, and Guan Yuanji has vigorously helped the officers and soldiers of Pingyuan County, and has made meritorious contributions to our army, but the credit is due to the merits, and the two cannot be confused, not to mention that it is his two younger brothers who we want to punish, not himself. After a pause, Tang Yin said again: "He connived at his two younger brothers to gather grass and rob the house, and my crime of treating him is already his great affection, and it also repays him for his previous support for our army." ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Zhou nodded repeatedly. In any case, it is a fact that Guan Yuanwu and Guan Yuanbiao are bandits, and Tang Yin's insistence on encirclement and suppression is not an exaggeration.
Bai Yong frowned and said, "Lord Tang, do you want to ...... Let's go to Guan Yuanji and talk to him first?"
"Why do you want to explain it to him?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and said, "The officers and soldiers have to report to him if they exterminate the bandits?"
"No, no, I didn't mean that!" Bai Yong hurriedly explained.
Tang Yin asked, "Do you two know where the nest of the official brothers is?"
Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong nodded slowly.
Seeing this, Tang Yin said: "Okay, the First Corps and the Second Corps will each transfer two thousand elites, and they will go with me to suppress Kou early tomorrow morning!"
"Going tomorrow?" Zhang Zhou was a little surprised, Tang Yin had just arrived in Hengcheng today, and he was going out to suppress bandits the next day, and his style was too vigorous and resolute? !
"How long else will it take to delay? I don't have time to dwell on the question of banditry. Tang Yin said dryly.
"Understood, Master Tang!" Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong nodded yes.
"Alright, the two generals can now go back to rest. ”
"Lord Tang, my subordinates say goodbye!" Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong both retired.
After the two left, Tang Yin couldn't help but sigh faintly and closed his eyes tiredly. Ren's Pingyuan County Guard simply left himself a big mess, with countless backlogs of government affairs and military affairs
It was a mess, the internal bandits had not been eliminated, and the external defense against the barbarians was also useless.
"Brother Tang!"
Qiu Zhen walked up to his side and called softly.
Tang Yin's eyes didn't open, and he asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'm going to suppress the bandits tomorrow, what is Brother Tang going to do?"
"What about your opinion?" Tang Yin didn't say much, and asked Qiu Zhen directly.
"The two brothers Guan Yuanwu and Guan Yuanbiao are both martial arts masters, if they raise troops to attack, even if they can win in the end, I am afraid that the losses of our army will not be laughing, the best way is to be able to use the two
The people led away, set up an ambush, and captured them alive, as for the bandits below, they are not worth mentioning. ”
Seriously considering Qiu Zhen's opinion, Tang Yin nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.
Qiu Zhen said again: "Just now I also talked a lot with the local rich people, the official family's family business is very huge, and they want land and money, most of which are owned by Guan Yuanji alone
spelled out, it can be seen that this person is called a political wizard, and what Brother Tang lacks most now is the top of the list to deal with internal affairs, if he can take Guan Yuanji for his own use, then Brother Tang
Not only can this county guard do his best, but it will also be much easier. Of course, he himself will become lighter, and he doesn't have to worry about dealing with government affairs. Qiu Zhen is in his heart again
Silently add.
Oh? This is something Tang Yin didn't expect! He asked, "Is Guan Yuan Jiken taking refuge in me?"
"Whether he likes it or not, it doesn't matter. As long as Brother Tang can catch Guan Yuanwu and Guan Yuanbiao and behead them according to their crimes, as the eldest brother of the two, Guan Yuanji will naturally not
Sit idly by, as long as they come to beg, Brother Tang can use the lives of the two brothers as a condition to force Guan Yuanji to comply."
"With this kind of means, I'm afraid he won't be willing!" Tang Yin said thoughtfully.
Qiu Zhen laughed and said confidently: "Brother Tang is not an incompetent person, as long as you pull Guan Yuanji to your side first, you are not afraid of his insincere assistance in the future." ”
"En!" Tang Yin nodded, the corners of his mouth raised, and said with a smile: "That's right, just do what you want!"
Following.
Tang Yin took Qiu Zheng, Gu Yue, Lotte, Li Wei, Liu Zhongsheng, Chen Fang, Ai Jia and others to the school military field of the Hengcheng military camp accompanied by Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong.
In the school military field, the flag is unfurled, and the atmosphere is solemn.
According to Tang Yin's requirements, the first and second corps of Pingyuan County selected 2,000 elite soldiers respectively, and arranged them neatly in the field, and people's eyes followed Tang Yin's figure slowly
Move.
