Chapter 37 Occupy the mountain as king
"Li Hun is my close friend of Yang Hong!"
At this time, Yang Hong walked in from outside the lobby, looked at Tang Peng with an unkind face and said, "What?" Could it be that Tang Dianshi wants to overwhelm people with power? ”
On the way to the county government, he temporarily went to the Yang Mansion to get a document, so he asked Li Xingchen and Xiong Tonghai to come to the county government first.
"Your close friend?"
Tang Peng's eyes froze, and he looked at Li Xingchen sharply and said, "So, you are the culprit who killed Cao Feng?" ”
Li Xingchen said righteously: "The culprit? Gaoshan thief Kou Caofeng robbed the people, brutally killed civilians, and humiliated women, which can be called full of evil, does the Tang Dynasty think that it should not be killed? ”
"Cao Feng deserves to die, but you are just a businessman, why should you replace the county government to eliminate evil?"
Tang Peng twitched the corners of his mouth, and then said to Li Furen: "Lord County, the thieves of Longhu Village have regarded Li Hun as an enemy, if he is allowed to serve as the commander of the county government, not only will it not be able to resolve the current crisis, but it will increase the hatred of the thieves of Longhu Village against the county government, and then let Pingcheng fall into a greater crisis!" ”
"Listening to the words of Tang Dianshi, are you trying to prevent the county from strengthening its armament?"
Yang Furen's eyes narrowed.
It seems that Wei Qiang has been severely punished, but it still has not achieved the effect of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.
Tang Peng jumped out so quickly and openly blocked the old man's decree.
"The lower officials dare not disobey the decree of the county lord!"
Tang Peng bowed down, neither humble nor arrogant: "But the county government appoints officials, and they are not locals in Pingcheng, so they are not allowed to enter the county government as officials, not to mention that Li Hun is still an enemy of Longhu Village." ”
"Rules are dead, but man is alive; At such a critical moment, how can we blindly act according to the old rules? ”
Speaking of this, Yang Furen glanced at the officials and asked loudly: "Colleagues, do you have any objections to the appointment of Li Hun as the county capital by making an exception?" ”
"The county lord should change from time to time, and it is reasonable!"
Fan Sheng and other officials hurriedly bowed their hands and answered in unison.
"Hmm...... It is a blessing for the city that you are so far-sighted. ”
Yang Furen nodded with satisfaction, and then his eyes fell on Tang Peng: "Tang Dianshi, since you don't object to the strengthening of armaments in this county, can you recommend better talents to carry out this matter?" ”
"The lower official can't be recommended!"
Tang Peng shook his head and said calmly: "But King Xinyan has arrived in Wuzhou, presumably it will not take a few days to send someone to help us Pingcheng tide over the difficulties, and I also ask the county lord to temporarily withdraw the intention of appointing Li Hun as the commander." ”
"Tang Peng, what kind of heart do you have?"
Yang Furen's face sank, and he shouted: "Now that the Gaoshan thieves are eyeing Pingcheng, they may attack on a large scale at any time, how many days do you have to make this county wait?" ”
As a Heijo prefectural order.
He has always regarded Pingcheng as his own one-third of an acre, where can others be allowed to get involved.
And the implication of Tang Peng's words was obviously to use the power of King Xinyan to balance his power.
How could he bear it!
"The lower official lost his words, and asked the county lord to forgive his sins!"
Tang Peng's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and then he lowered his posture and said, "Since the county lord has made up his mind, then the lower officials will naturally support your decree." ”
"Very good, from now on, the county will appoint Li Hun as the new commander of Pingcheng, full-time to supervise the recruitment of troops, city defense, public security and other important affairs."
As he spoke, Yang Furen picked up a token from the case and handed it to Li Xingchen, and said earnestly: "Li Hun, the old man will hand over the defense of Pingcheng to you." ”
"Yang Gong, within half a decade, I will make Pingcheng's city defense look new."
Li Xingchen took the token of the capital and said with blazing eyes.
"Congratulations to Li Dutong!"
"Li Dutong, if there is anything that needs the cooperation of the old man in the future, you can say it bluntly!"
"Yes, in the future, my Qi family's industry will still rely on Li Dutong to take care of ......"
All the officials walked up to Li Xingchen with a smile on their faces and congratulated one after another.
These old fritters are all human spirits, and they have long seen that Li Xingchen is a cadre.
If they don't get close to this new capital now, their family business will inevitably lose protection in the future.
Although they all have escort teams to protect their family business, once they encounter the powerful Gao Mountain bandits or other forces, those escorts will become completely decorations, and they can only be slaughtered by others!
"Yang Gong, I plan to start recruiting troops in front of the four gates of Pingcheng today, I don't know what you think?"
After greeting a group of officials, Li Xingchen said to Yang Furen again.
"Li Dutong is really resolute."
Yang Furen was full of appreciation, and then said to his son Yang Hong: "You have to fully cooperate with Li Dutong's recruitment!" ”
"The subordinate obeys!"
After speaking, Yang Hong took Li Xingchen and Xiong Tonghai out of the yatang and went straight to the arsenal.
The Pingcheng arsenal is only half a mile away from the county capital, and there are currently only more than 20 officials guarding it.
Due to the lack of armament updates for many years, the arsenal has long been covered with cobwebs, and the weapons are even more rusty.
looked at Li Xingchen and Xiong Tonghai and shook their heads.
"These weapons are so broken that they can resist the enemy?"
Li Xingchen's face was full of helplessness
Yang Hong nodded and said, "Brother Li is right, Pingcheng's armament has been slack over the years, and people have long lost their vigilance, resulting in the abandonment of the arsenal. ”
"If you are warlike, you will die, but if you forget to fight, you will be in danger!"
Look at the listless servants and the desolate arsenal.
Li Xingchen really felt some emotion in his heart, and felt that the hearts of Pingcheng people were big.
You must know that Heijo is a place of four battles.
There are thieves in it, and they are kings of the mountains.
There are Jin Guo's soldiers outside, threatening at all times.
In case Qingyun Pass is lost, Pingcheng will be directly exposed to the Jin State's troops.
But in the midst of this danger on all sides, Heijo's armaments were actually relaxed to the point of abandonment.
It can be seen from this that those Pingcheng wang clans are so short-sighted.
For immediate gain.
They are still intriguing with each other, so involuted that they don't even care about their own safety.
Yang Hong let out a long sigh and said with a solemn face: "Alas, if it weren't for Brother Li's arrival, no matter how rich the people of Pingcheng were, they would just be fat sheep to be slaughtered!" ”
"Master Yang, you go and transfer a sum of money to Cangyun Village to rebuild two thousand weapons!"
Li Xingchen patted Yang Hong on the shoulder and said, "For the matter of recruitment, Lao Xiong and I will take the servants to the east and west gates to test the water first." ”
"Okay, I'll go transfer it!"
Yang Hong's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked out of the Pingcheng arsenal.
The reason why he was so anxious was because he had already seen the power of those new weapons in Cangyun Village today.
If Pingcheng could have this kind of new weapon, not to mention only two thousand Gao Mountain bandits, even the thousands of troops facing the Jin Kingdom would be able to repel it.
Come to think of it.
Yang Hong's pace couldn't help but be a little faster.
And Li Xingchen and Xiong Tonghai are two.
Ten officials were selected for each and went to the east and west gates.
