Chapter 72: The Tiger Talisman is needed to transfer troops
Without waiting for Zhen to ask, Wang Ji told the reason.
"Ohno Zeye is wide and deep, before entering Guo Kai, we have made sufficient preparations, and we have also used the country's junior high school officials and building boatmen."
Wang Ji only said these few words, and the questioning Zhen suddenly realized, and then became a little embarrassed.
There are many soldiers in the county, but there are very few "county soldiers" with strong combat effectiveness.
So to put it simply, the soldiers in the county can't all be called county soldiers.
There are two types of armies in the county, and although they are all regular soldiers who served in the year, their combat effectiveness and nature are very different.
One is the regular field troops, such as timber officers, building boatmen, light chariots, and knights, and those who can be elected are all strong and strong laborers in the prime of life. For a year, they not only had to be trained in the use of various weapons, but also had to conduct school exercises under the leadership of Lieutenant Changyi Xianghe, so their combat effectiveness was extremely high.
The second type is a variety of pawns, which can be divided into three main categories according to their duties.
The first type of guards is responsible for guarding the government office, including the gate guards, the street guards and the city gate guards.
The second type of servant was responsible for serving the officials, including Lingyi, the waiter, the cangtou Lu'er, and the cook.
The third group of pawns was responsible for protecting property and catching thieves, including pavilion guards, archers, and thieves.
No matter what kind of soldier it is, its combat effectiveness cannot be compared with that of the county soldiers.
However, among the soldiers of the county, the majority of the soldiers who have no combat effectiveness are in the majority, and the officers and other officers are only a minority.
In the case of Changyi State, there are only more than 2,500 people in the timber officers and Lou boats, while there are more than 20,000 other soldiers.
The fundamental reason why Wang Jimian is embarrassed is that although the county has the right to command the army, it does not have the right to transfer troops: the transfer of county soldiers such as material officials needs to be asked for instructions from the central court in advance.
If you transfer troops without authorization, even if there is a reason for it, you will be held accountable in the end.
Zhen Wei may have forgotten this restriction just now because he was too busy to get dizzy.
"When we went to suppress the Guo bandits, we asked the court in advance for instructions, and the county officials also sent us a tiger talisman, and now if we want to mobilize the county soldiers, I am afraid we have to ask for a tiger talisman."
"Kechangyi City is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, and it will take more than half a month to come and go back by fast horse, and even if the tiger talisman is really invited by then, the Song bandits will have already sold out the stolen goods and gone ashore to be good."
Wang Ji has a gentle temperament and slowly explains the reason to everyone.
The material officer and the Lou boat officer can't count on it, so what An Lexiang and Wang Ji can use in their hands is the pawn.
"Can the pavilion soldiers, thieves and Facao pawns in the country fight?"
Zhen Wei asked again in a bit of a hurry, this Changyi County was the first county he was sent out to govern.
Before this, he had been a Langguan in Chang'an, so he didn't know much about many things in the place.
In particular, this Changyi County is the first county of Changyi State, and the three government offices of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Lieutenant's Mansion and the County Temple are stuffed into a city, no matter where you look at it, the county temple is the smallest one.
This makes it inevitable that Zhen Wei will be hollowed out, and it is not surprising that some military and political affairs are not well understood.
That's why Zhen asked the question just now.
"There are nearly 5,000 people in Changyi who can participate in the anti-theft service, but they are divided into more than a dozen counties like sand, and the number of people who can gather in a short time is not very large, I am afraid that there are only 500 people at most."
Ohnozawa is as vast as the ocean, and there are no shipwrecks and material officials, and relying on these 500 people alone will only arrest the thieves and thieves on the ground, it will be similar to looking for a needle in a haystack.
After Wang Ji finished speaking, the main hall fell silent again.
Time passed without waiting for anyone, and His Highness's two million dollars of great wealth were getting closer and closer to Onozawa, but they seemed to be powerless.
The whole thing seems to have become a dead knot.
An Le is the face of a country, and everyone looks at him in unison.
After pondering for a long time, An Le Xiang finally spoke.
"As I said earlier, this matter is indeed difficult to do, but no matter how difficult it is, it must be done."
No one in the hall answered, and they didn't know that An Le was not a high-flying person, and it was impossible to force them to do things that they couldn't do, so there must be something to say.
"We may not be able to recover the money, but we have to give an account to His Highness."
This sentence has a profound meaning, and the so-called explanation is not the same as solving the problem.
Zhang Wujian is the master bookkeeper, and he guessed Dongxi's thoughts the most thoroughly, and when he thought about it a little, he said cautiously: "The subordinate has some words, I don't know whether to say them or not. ”
"The hall is the humerus, the pillar of my Changyi country, you can just say it if you have something to say."
"The subordinates have three strategies, although they may not be able to recover the two million money, but at least let His Highness see that we have indeed done our best."
Zhang Wuji's words made everyone sit up straight.
"The first one is to speed up the speed and intensity of the raid on the mansions of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and dig up as much money as possible, if you can raise enough eight million dollars, Your Highness may not pursue it too much."
"But the gap of two million dollars, I'm afraid it's not easy to find out, these greedy officials are not of high rank, it is impossible to save so much family wealth, it is estimated that together with their ancestral graves, they can only find one million dollars at most."
An Le rarely said a joke that was not very good on the stage, which made the atmosphere in the hall loosen a little.
"Of course, those filthy officials are guilty of capital crimes, but are not the merchants who have done business in Hotan without a crime?"
Zhang Wujian said a word in response to the question, but everyone already understood what he meant.
An Le nodded, approving Zhang Wuji's first strategy.
"Okay, this first strategy is very good, and the greedy officials will hand it over to the county jail and Facao to dig up; And most of the businessmen are in Changyi County, so Zhen Qing will dig them. Don't show mercy to these rats and moths, and dig up all the floating wealth when digging three feet into the ground. ”
"Yui!"
With this strategy, the situation suddenly became clearer, and even the flickering firelight became much more lovely.
"This second article is to rectify the pavilion pawns, after all, there will be a lot of chaos in the country like this, and it may not be possible to succeed in suppressing it, but we must be careful that thieves take the opportunity to make trouble."
"Then the matter will be handled by the king." An Le nodded in agreement.
"Yui!"
"This third article, you have to hand over the horse Jianyou."
Jian Koupin's rank is low, and he is the last one in the hall, but everyone knows that he is capable and has fought with the Huns, so they respect him a lot.
"But it doesn't hurt to say it's the master book."
"Jian Youjiao wants to take people to Onozawa immediately, and search for the news of the gang of thieves as much as possible, in case His Highness inquires, the money can not be recovered, but His Highness must know the final whereabouts."
"The contemptible will leave tomorrow."
At this point, most of everyone's hanging hearts have been put down, which should be able to explain to His Highness.
But what I didn't expect was that Zhang Wujian still had something to say.
"But there is one more thing that must be done by An Lexiang himself."
"Huh? What's the matter? ”
"Go to the palace in person to report to His Highness, and tell His Highness about our plan for today."
Everyone was stunned, they didn't understand why they were doing this.
