Chapter XXXVII

Back in Chang'an, there were several more people in Zhang Xuanning's team, two of them Guo Posuo, and the others were selected from the thieves, who were less than fifteen years old, and who had killed people, and found out the details, in fact, they had little to do with Wang An. .qΒ⑤。 cOm/

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were countless young heroes, many of whom rebelled in their teens, and Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion was as master as a cloud and as a strategist, but until Li was proclaimed emperor, the average age was less than thirty!

That's a staggering number!

Therefore, Zhang Xuanning intended to select a group of bandits, and it is true that Wang An cannot be detained, but it is still possible to take in a few children under the age of fifteen, so to speak, but as soon as those conditions are selected, among thousands of people, only a dozen meet the requirements, but only eight children meet the requirements after killing a few teenagers who are too reckless and refuse to even give in on the surface.

Fifty horsemen plus an ox cart, under the leadership of Zhang Xuanning, entered Chang'an, and prepared in advance, so until a small street, seeing the arrival of the cavalry, the street took refuge, and there was not much time, and they arrived at a relatively remote homestead.

Zhang Xuanning got down from the horse, entered the house, and saw that the house inside was wide, and couldn't help but praise and say, "Mr. Zheng, you did a good job and solved this matter." ”

Zheng Dan said colorlessly: "This is a trivial matter, if I don't even have this ability, Shi Ye won't need to use me." ”

Zhang Xuanning nodded and said: "Mr. Zheng, don't worry, since Mr. Zheng is unwilling to enter the army, it is okay to train a few pro-soldiers for my Shi family here, and it will take a year or two, and when the rumors pass and the amnesty is encountered, you can naturally return to your hometown safely." ”

Zheng Shan said with a wry smile: "I hope so." ”

He was dragged by Wang An to be a military advisor, his reputation was tarnished, and he was charged with being a thief, although the family kept him, but naturally he couldn't go back like this, but this person was also unwilling to recognize Zhang Xuanning as the master, so Zhang Xuanning took this opportunity to buy a house in Chang'an, and arranged a soldier who was injured and disabled this time and had no family. 12dc7de

"Lord Team Zheng, I will be a member of the Shi family from now on. "Entering the room, the veteran who was still limping on his feet, wrapped in cloth, stepped forward, did not take care of the pain, knelt on the ground, knelt three times and knocked nine times, after getting up, he was no longer called a military position, called "master", in fact, this batch of battles, fifty horsemen rushed to the thousands of enemy camps, and also lost more than a dozen people, and after treatment, half of them survived, but he was the only one who met Zhang Xuanning's conditions.

The fifty people around were all onlookers, all with solemn eyes.

"As soon as you enter my family, I will give you the surname Shi, just call Shi Qun, you are not old, marry a mother-in-law, at home, be a housekeeper for me, manage family affairs, Zhang San!"

Zhang San immediately stepped forward, but he didn't speak.

"You just help me manage this group of children behind me, this is my Shimen's knife technique and internal strength method, you can recite them one by one on my behalf, and Mr. Zheng, you can be a chair here, teach them to read some books and recognize Braille, how about it?" Zhang Xuanning said in a soft voice.

"Okay, I'll stay in Chang'an for a while!" Zheng Shan said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, I will supervise them." ”

This is a blatant cultivation of pro-soldiers, but all the people are not surprised, the reason is very simple, at that time, the soldiers of the gate lord family were very common, and Zhang Xuanning was so brave that it was very quick to be promoted to the commander of the 100-person brigade or even the captain.

In the future, the establishment of pro-soldiers can be expanded, and it is time to cultivate.

As long as it is not cultivated in large numbers, hundreds of people, and hundreds of people, it is natural and justified.

"You guys go up to meet the master!" Shi Qun immediately had the consciousness of the Shi family's housekeeper, and stepped forward to say.

These eight children are all knowledgeable about current affairs, and they stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Meet the master." ”

"You were originally a traitor, I saved you, you have to serve my Shi family well, now you are called Shi Yilang, Shi Erlang, Shi Sanlang, you are a member of my family, and when you practice martial arts and join my own soldiers, you will give the daimyo. Zhang Xuanning accepted this gift calmly.

In ancient times, the concept of family was so strong that any upriser, clansman, and township were the core backbone, especially some things, which were full of people at every turn, and they couldn't be loyal if they wanted to be unfaithful - they were all grasshoppers on a line, and if something happened to the master, they couldn't escape at all.

Therefore, accepting as a family member, or even as a righteous son, is the only way to maintain cohesion, Zhu Yuanzhang is very good at this, no matter what the reason is in this era, there is no good end for those who rebel against their father.

"Yes, sir. These eight knelt on the ground, and their fate was combined with Zhang Xuanning from then on.

"Well, don't treat me badly when you come to my door on the first day, Shi Qun, you and I can enter the inner room, and I have something to explain to you. ”

"Yes, sir!" the stone group followed into the inner room.

Everyone understood that this was an account of family affairs, and maybe there was some money left at home, but it was still a fairly ordinary thing, and after a while, they came out of the room again, and Shi Qun seemed a little suspicious.

"Shi Qun, there is some silver here, you can take care of it, and I will go to the barracks to resume my life. Zhang Xuanning said: "I want to go to the barracks, and after paying the order, I will naturally have wine and food." ”

"Yes, sir!"

, even the newly added Guo Posuo and a few township soldiers, at this time, their soldiers have to go through a procedure to get approval from above.

Of course, it is not necessary to be a pro-soldier, but there is nothing to add at this time.

"Kill four hundred and sixty-one people, capture two thousand one hundred and forty-one days, and behead Wang An. Xiang Duwei looked at the one who was still kneeling below, but he was calm and relaxed, knowing that the general really didn't look away, and it was really different.

"Good strategy, calmness, fighting in one fell swoop, like an eagle fighting a rabbit. This is the overall evaluation: "And more human!"

The specific situation, naturally, the following people carefully reported it, this is a matter of course, he does not have much time to be the chief officer, so it is naturally impossible to keep a drop of water, so the situation is clear - one-fifth of the spoils obtained, one-fifth to the county commander, and one-fifth to his subordinates, and himself and the general, each have one-fifth of the gifts, and he takes one-fifth of the most.

Although the general is not rare at all, this is the intention, this is the attitude of obedience, and the general is very happy when he sees this.

"You have made a great contribution this time, then you can tell me, the general has an order, and you will be promoted to the deputy brigade commander, and the original team leader, and the official will be under the eighth grade!" ”

But when I thought about it, if there are so many thieves today, and those who can fight and kill, they should be promoted quickly, and my heart is half a point relaxed.

Zhang Xuanning said: "Yes, Lord Xie Duwei and the promotion of the general. ”

Although he doesn't have many soldiers, he can be promoted to an official position, and now his own soldiers can be expanded to one fire, that is, ten people, which is the same as the commander of the main brigade.

I can't imagine that the prepared pro-soldiers will be used now.

"What more could you ask for?"

"More than ten people have been lost by the lowly subordinates, and they have to be added, there are several militia warriors Guo Posuo, who have military merits and extraordinary bravery, can they join the team and be the captain?"

"Yes, report your name, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds, and there will be other vacancies, and you can make up for them in the city for a month. ”

At this moment, a personal soldier walked in and whispered a few words to Xiang Duwei, Xiang Duwei moved the corners of his eyebrows after listening, and said: "The general has an order, and after three days of order, the personnel will be replenished, and he will lead the team to Anchuan County, and act as the county commander!"

Looking at Zhang Xuanning, who was a little puzzled, Xiang Duwei said again: "The county magistrate of Anchuan County was stabbed, and he was seriously injured and couldn't be a director, you went to act as an agent until the imperial court sent an official." ”

"Lord Duwei, the humble position is only the deputy brigade commander now, and the grade is only from the eighth grade, how can you act as the county commander?" Zhang Xuanning asked strangely.

This is very unreasonable, because the county order is seven products, and the county officials, lords, and officials below are all from the seventh grade and the eighth grade, above him, how can it be managed, besides, with the military to manage the government, the Sui Dynasty will not be like this, right?

"Anchuan County, taking advantage of the Shengshang's conquest of Goryeo, there were thieves breaking the city, the original county government was up and down, the dead and wounded were bad, few people survived, this time the county order was temporarily supplemented, and something happened again, and you can't be a director, so you go on your behalf, it is the highest official rank, this must be a good thing, the general is very happy to hear your good news, so he will make more contributions to you!" Xiang Duwei said patiently explained.

The general was very happy? Zhang Xuanning thought about it, but immediately responded: "Yes, respect the order." ”

"Although it is a cavalry, but it will take ten days to go to Anchuan County, but the general's order has been issued, so let's do it, I will give you a three-day holiday, you can not get a little bit, you can arrange it, however, you must go out of the army after three days, and you should have the materials and arrange it in the army. ”

"Yes, Lord Xie Duwei. ”

The government office will start its work from 5 a.m. to 7 a.m. When the official counts the number of people, it is called "point Mao", and the same is true in the army, of course, it is more strict, when the point is wrong, it is the military stick disposal, and if you make a mistake many times, you will be killed, so it is a holiday to avoid the point of Mao.

Although Zhang Xuanning felt strange, how could he come back and send out to fight, after all, in the era of cold weapons, the frequency of wars was not high, generally speaking, after World War I, the army was damaged, wounded, and the wounds would not heal quickly, basically there should be a repair period of half a month or even longer, and frequent combat would only lead to a sharp decrease in the actual number of combatants in the army.

Or this sentence, in the era of cold weapons, there may be some slight injuries that do not get off the line of fire, because it does not take much physical strength to pull the trigger, but if in the era of hot weapons, it is definitely not possible to cut the wound and lose more blood and then engage in heavy physical combat, and it will not be done unless it is absolutely necessary.

But since he has an order, he must also obey, so he answered it immediately, and then withdrew at the signal of his boss.

Back in the camp, Zhang Xuanning summoned everyone to participate, all of them were the fire chief, five, and the pro-soldier Zhang Yier also followed aside, after the salute, everyone sat still, waiting for Zhang Xuanning to speak.

These days, they all recognize this team of martial arts as the leader of everyone. 12dc7de

Zhang Xuanning didn't say anything else, and said directly: "The general has an order, we have to rush to Anchuan County in three days, are there any people from Anchuan County in our team?" 12dc7de

As soon as he said this, the five people below immediately began to discuss, and after a while, there was

He stepped forward and said, "I have a military chief, named Meng Hu, who is Anchuan County." ▋

"You go and call him to come, although he has been away from Anchuan County for a long time, but this time there must be a place for him to work, after all, he is a fellow countryman, and, let's look at the map, according to the news, Anchuan County is located on the edge of Guanzhong, this place is relatively remote, there are mountains, it is not a place that is easy to control!" Zhang Xuanning said.

"Yes, there are fifty of us, and it is obviously not enough to control one county, right?" said a fire chief.

"So when you get to the county, you must rebuild the yabing, according to the law of the imperial court, you can establish a township soldier of 300 people, I am the acting county commander, of course I have this right, but it is not easy for these 300 people to organize, we have no food and no money!"

After being ransacked, there must be no food, grass and armaments in the county, and I have a headache when I think about it.

"Can't the army prepare for us?"

"It's already rare to be able to give us fifty people rations in the army, so don't think about the rest. Zhang Xuanning said with a sigh.

At this time, that Meng Hu had already come, and seeing that all the adults were talking about it, he finally said: "My lord, although the city in the county is broken, but the clans in the county are not broken, my lord can ask them to get some grain and grass materials." ”

The county seat belongs to the imperial court, but the family's dock fort is their own, so the fact that the county seat is broken and the dock fort is safe seems strange, but it is actually very easy to understand. 12dc7de

At this time, although there is no prosperity of the gate lord in the Second Jin Dynasty, once the clan is prepared, there can be hundreds or thousands of strong men to defend against the enemy, and the reason why the family has become a family is probably a bit of martial arts inheritance, so it is very normal to keep safe.

On the contrary, although the county town is large, it often has no soldiers to fight and no food to fight, but it is easy to attack, which is the reality of ancient times.

"Well, it makes sense, you follow me directly for the time being, and when you get to the county, I still have to use you to do things. Zhang Xuanning thought about it and said.

He knew that it would be a little bit to ask those families for money, but it was probably a few tens of stones, one or two hundred stones, and the combination of several families in the county was only a few hundred stones, but it was enough, and it would not be enough to maintain it for half a year, and if he thought of some other ways, it would still be possible to maintain it for a month or two.

The reason why he is so enthusiastic is entirely because Zhang Xuanning has never managed a county at all, in fact, a county, called Yamen, is small and has all kinds of organs, and the county-level units are essentially the same as the imperial court.

Learn to manage a county, manage a county and a state in the future, and even build a government and call it a king, all in it.

At the moment, he felt that the plan was not as fast as the change, so he decided to let Zheng Dan take that group of teenagers with him, the county was destroyed, everything was simple, just let them be literate first, while doing chores, their ears were exposed to witnessing, and they also learned the talent of a small official who did practical things.

The ancients said that the world is indispensable to the state and county. The state and county yamen is not only the vane of the rise and fall of the world, but also the panoramic microcosm of the entire officialdom world in ancient times.

Thinking of this, I have made a decision, and I talked with all the fire chiefs casually, and discussed some things, although I was actually not going to say more to them, but just a few words, they still admired them a lot, and unconsciously, their trust in Zhang Xuanning increased a little.

After the talk, he went straight back, and it was already night. 12dc7de

When he got home, he didn't have much time, Zheng Dan came in, and he slept very early in ancient times, so when Zheng Dan came in, he was still sleepy-eyed and his clothes were a little untidy.

"Lord Shi, what do you call me at such a late hour?" Zheng Shan bowed.

"Mr. Zheng's opportunity has come. ”

"Oh, why do you say that?" Zheng Dan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Zhang Xuanning also said the above order, Zheng Shan listened silently, his eyes changed from time to time, and when he finished speaking, he sighed and said: "The county order of Anchuan County, originally Brother Dai Ketong, I have seen it before, and I died here if I didn't think of it!"

"Yes, I don't know much about the affairs of the county, although my husband cannot directly accept the official position, but he can also act for me, if he accomplishes this position, he will have merit to show his guilt, what do you think? This is an opportunity, so as not to waste the years in the future. ”

Zheng Dan got up and saluted deeply: "Lord Shi really has a heart, don't worry, I will manage all political affairs for you, so that your Excellency can succeed as soon as possible." ”

"Very good, you go to do something, just take those guys with you, and you can do things well, and then read some books in the evening and know how to read." Zhang Xuanning said casually. 12dc7de

And Zheng Dan responded.

Say something more, send Zheng Dan, who is a little excited, back, this person is not in my heart, Zhang Xuanning has a lot of emotion, he is recruiting such talents now, but it is far away, but it is the goal to let these little guys follow and do some errands.

In fact, in real terms, the head of a county is just empty talk, and the small officials below are the ones who really do things, so they have real power and can learn from them, even if it is a few months, it will have immeasurable benefits for the future.
