Xuanning started an incident, occupied the whole county of Huiji, and appointed himself the governor of Wuzhou, and the matter was sudden.

However, the four counties of Huiji County, even if the population of this world is slightly larger, the total population is only 28,400 households, of course, at this time, one household, less than five or six people, more than ten or twenty people, but the extraction of 10,000 infantry, 3,000 navy, plus craftsmen, manpower suddenly reached the limit.

In contrast, the population of Jiangdu (Yangzhou) County has reached 145,500 households, which is five times that of Huiji County, no wonder Du Fuwei and Li Zitong, who started in the south, always linger near Jiangdu in every possible way, even if they ignore the geographical advantages, taking one county is equivalent to taking five counties of Huiji!

The training of generals required a lot of consumption, the salaries of officials, and the resettlement of land, all of which required a lot of money.

Wuzhou Governor's Mansion, the construction of the political hall, for the time being, there is no Taishou, but directly by the political hall to preside over the government of the four counties, the first political hall left auxiliary order is of course Li Bo.

"The four counties have basically been pacified, but the soldiers are trained, the weapons are sufficient, and the sea ships are built, at least in the first half of this year, there are not many swords and soldiers that cannot be moved. Li Bo frowned, and said in the report: "Fortunately, the lord has a lot of money to invest, otherwise, we wouldn't have survived the end of the year." ”

"What about the county school?"

"According to the will of the lord, between the ages of twelve and fifteen, the first literacy teenagers were recruited to read, and the order was issued, and there were only twenty-eight people. ”

"Twenty-eight people are twenty-eight people, and when we have a solid foundation, and let these young people strengthen their practice, and act as subordinates (not into the stream), they will naturally be able to attract people. Zhang Xuanning was mentally prepared for this, and he sighed and said: "The southern family, the nearby counties, do we have anything to mind?"

"Yes, Shen Faxing, whose family is based in Wukang County, Yuhang County, is a powerful county with thousands of clans. He is also the Taishou of Wu County, which is bordering our county, and should not be underestimated. ”

Shen Faxing, Shen Faxing, Shen Faxing, was in the fourteenth year of the Sui Dynasty, that is, when Yu Culture and the Jiangdu Rebellion, in the name of courting Yu Culture and for the sake of raising troops, 60,000 elite soldiers, quickly attacked Yuhang County, Piling County, Danyang County, called Jiangnan Province Governor. In the following year, he was called "Tianmen Gong", and he was called "King Liang", and the year name was "Yankang". Later, he was defeated by Li Zitong and threw himself into the river and died.

This person is also a person who is looking at the tiger and planning to rebel, but this person's policy is to hide the troops at home, wait for the opportunity to start an incident, and it is a good thing to have a stoic character, but the patience is too much, and the conspiracy is too strong and he will go the wrong way.

However, because of this, the generals have not actually passed the test of war, so although the number is large, it is useless, but they were defeated by Li Zitong, who started from the rogue but fought for many years.

Although the Sui Dynasty is in decline now, most people are still not sure that the Sui Dynasty is about to perish, so as long as they don't attack Yuhang, they don't have to worry about their reaction to Shen Faxing and the Shen family.

"Then our goal can only be Yongjia?" Zhang Xuanning asked.

"Exactly, but at this time, Yongjia also has civil strife, it is the Miao Haichao Department, our side suddenly made an incident and cut off the connection between the Du Fuwei Department and him, which is exactly what it can do. ”

"Miao Haichao, who is this?"

"Miao Haichao, subordinate. In the ninth year of the Great Cause, the people gathered to revolt, and in the tenth year of the Great Cause, Du Fuwei arrived in Huaibei. At this time, the peasant rebel army led by Miao Haichao was descending. Du Fuwei persuaded Miao Haichao to surrender through Fu Gongqi. Miao Haichao knew that his forces were weak, so he agreed to merge and obeyed Du Fuwei's command. Du Fuwei's troops were shocked by this, and Jiang Dutongshou sent the captain Song Hao to lead his troops to suppress it, and was introduced into Ludang by Du Fuwei, and then set fire to it from the upper wind, and won a big victory. Li Bo already knew the situation in the south very well, and said: "Only last year, Li Zitong's troops also moved to Huainan and joined Du Fuwei, and soon Li Zitong tried to annex Du Fuwei's department and carried out a surprise attack on Du Bu, and Du Fuwei was seriously injured. The Sui army took the opportunity to attack, and Du was defeated. Duvowe fought to the death. After breaking through, Du Fuwei gathered the rest of his troops and took ** County as a stronghold, and Miao Haichao's department actually broke away and transferred to Yongjia County. ”

"I see, Mr. sent someone to contact him and say that he would surrender to him, what do you think?" Since he called the lord, Li Bo has tried his best to resign from the word "uncle", and after several times, Zhang Xuanning still does not use the official title, but calls him "Mr" to show respect.

"But, however, with our current momentum, we may not be able to say that we are inferior to him. Li Bo said cautiously.

"It doesn't matter, once the initial training is over in mid-May, our army will rush straight to Yongjia County from the sea to fight it. Zhang Xuanning knows that the time is tight now, it is impossible to train the army for a few years, and there is no need for this, besides, only training, without going through the battlefield to test, is still a new soldier, and it is not very useful, of course, the most important thing is that only after the war can the problems in the camp be exposed, and the problem of Shen Faxing cannot be repeated in the future.

"My lord, it seems inappropriate to raise troops so quickly, right? It is better to wait until autumn. ”

"What's wrong? Huiji County doesn't have many hukou, and Yongjia County has a smaller population

, 15,000 households, even if there are more soldiers in the county, it is only 5,000, our army can be captured, not to mention the civil strife in Miao Haichao?" Zhang Xuanning said with a smile: "At this time, the Holy Lord is preparing to move to Jiangdu, and Du Fuwei has suffered a heavy setback, at this time, as long as I keep 5,000 soldiers, I think it will be fine, and if I don't take the opportunity to take it, when will I wait!"

"Now that the lord has made up his mind, the minister doesn't say much, but at this time, there are not enough talents in the county, even if Yongjia is taken, it will be difficult for us to appoint people, and your father's old department, because it can't be explained publicly, so few people come to vote. ”

"Actually, this is still a matter of prestige and power, otherwise the original officials in the county are afraid that they will take refuge one after another!" Zhang Xuanning nodded and said: "I estimate that if you can take charge of the five counties, there are more than 50,000 elite soldiers, and then they will come to vote one after another, and they are not afraid of the lack of manpower." ”

After a pause, he said again: "County Cheng Zhu Li, promoted to county order, how are you doing in Juzhang County?"

"This is an old official, who has been in politics for a long time, not to mention a county, even a county can be taken care of in an orderly manner, but there are too few people who have taken refuge in us like this. ”

Zhang Xuanning said with a dumb smile: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't want those young officials, this is also waiting for a few years later, but I can install more county affairs." ”

"What about Jiang Feng, he serves as the county governor of Juzhang, I mean to let him learn more about political affairs, how about him?"

"It is said that when you go to the county, you can learn less and more, and you can also be edified. ”

"Well, that's already very good, I hope he grows up in the future. Speaking of this, he remembered something, and said: "There is a person in Jingling, called Xu Xingzhi, thirty years old, about this time to serve as a clerk, this person is available, you can send someone to summon him, first appoint him as the governor of a county!"

In memory, the second-rate master of the virtual line, but he is proficient in strategy, and he is a good candidate for military division, in the original world, it was Jingling who dominated the villa, but in fact, the monopoly of the villa was established after the death of Emperor Yang of Sui, so it can be recruited at this time.

Although there are some problems with this person's background, he can be used now.

Li Bo listened, and didn't ask why he knew about this person, so he nodded and said: "This, the minister will do it immediately, and it will be seen in about a month." ”

Zhang Xuanning nodded and smiled, and said, "I don't know sir, can a sage introduce him?"

Li Bo thought silently and said: "There are sages and sages, and there are people who are sage, and they are well-known, and they will be able to judge Yuyao people." Eight feet long, very majestic, erudite and talented, especially workman. Although he is good at words and is better than political affairs, but if he is a civil servant, or the government of a county and a county, he can also be good, this person was originally arrogant, but because he was friends with your father Yang Xuangan, he was convicted, his family was confiscated, and the prostitute and concubine were merged into the palace. Sneaking across the river alone, changing his name, calling himself Wu Zhuo, and now Xin Dade's family, the county commander of Anling County, Dongyang County, Xin Dade is also very talented, can punish the thieves, and even win the people's harmony, I am sure, a letter to summon it. ”

Zhang Xuanning's eyes flashed coldly, and he said with a smile: "Well, he is already a fugitive, and he has a great hatred with the saint, presumably he will come as soon as he is summoned, after life and death, this person should also be a little arrogant, just use it, if he comes, I will hang it with the position of a county guard, Xin Dade is willing to come, the order of a county, you can choose it." ”

After thinking about it and remembering something, Zhang Xuanning said again: " Nanhai County, there is the Chen family, many generations of maritime trade, and the Persians and big cannibals to do business, Shen Faxing conspired to rebel, the power of the shadows, so more secretly to seize people's property, the Chen family seems to be among them, you can send people to go, do not have to help it through the difficulties, but when the family is ruined, turn to me, this family has 2,000 soldiers who are good at water warfare, and there are many shipbuilding craftsmen, if you can take it, the strength of our sailors is shocked, and you can use soldiers, well, there is one of them, called Chen Changlin, you can pay more attention. ”

In the original world, the Chen family was ruined, and later they took refuge in Wang Shichong, and finally switched to the young marshal's army.

"Yes, the minister will do it, does the lord have any other instructions?" Li Bo said inquiringly.

"Well, what's the situation in Yangzhou?"

"Yin Kaishan is indeed a hero, he heard that we were in trouble, on the one hand, he apologized, on the other hand, he ordered to start transferring the main hall, because at this time, Yu Wenhua was not able to take down the Bamboo Flower Gang in one fell swoop, so he let him withdraw most of it. Li Bo said: "As for Shi Long, he is also vigilant, and he closes the dojo in the city, and his children gather around him, and they all live outside the city. ”

In the past, I couldn't change the general trend, but once I took off the county, many things changed, and I smiled at the moment: "Continue to watch, and now, if you have nothing to do, Mr. can do it yourself." ”

"Yes, my lord, the minister retires. ”

After taking care of political affairs, Zhang Xuanning entered the door, and saw a young man with a tiger's back coming up, he respectfully knelt down, this person was Zhang Zhongyi, the foreman of the personal soldiers: "The lord is here." ”

Zhang Xuanning paid special attention to his own soldiers, in the past six months, he had eaten and lived with the soldiers in the army, and he paid attention to observing those who were brave and obedient to him, but he also selected 300 soldiers for him, and organized them into 30 teams, the same

Edit, it's just that the pro-army is not called Tun, but called Su, one night and five teams of fifty people, six Su Chang, and even more people who are close to their henchmen, and they are all given the surname Zhang, and now the general commander is the pro-soldier who has followed him for a long time, and now he is renamed Zhang Zhongyi.

Although it is said that in this world, if you practice martial arts after the age of fifteen, it is impossible to enter the first-class realm in your life, but they do not need to enter the first-class realm in the first place, so these three hundred people, everyone practices swordsmanship and internal qi, and conducts military training.

The camp of the pro-soldiers, just outside the house, each of the six houses has a row of brick houses, arranged in an orderly manner, these three hundred people, whether they get married or not, their families live in the city, not only have big fish and meat every month, but also pay as much as five taels per month, everyone is happy to surrender at the moment, and the loyalty to Zhang Xuanning is also cultivated.

Zhang Xuanning entered a night, saw dozens of soldiers, although not on duty, but also lined up for exercises, all standing, concentrating on practicing martial arts, and the heart was happy, in fact, this group of people, usually practice martial arts, and learn the language, as soon as they are sent out, they can immediately be the commander of the tun, and receive fifty people, so they are a general.

In terms of martial arts, they are not qualified, but in terms of lower-level officers, it is more than enough, therefore, even the pro-soldiers are treated at the level of captains, and as for the rest, all of them are handed over to the first level.

In the future, the real pro-soldiers have selected young people under the age of fifteen from the families of those relatively reliable lower-level officers, especially their brothers and children, and began to teach and practice martial arts, and only after about three or five years can they really be regarded as good guards who can resist the invasion of first-class or even grandmasters.

The pro-soldiers in the Suzhong, seeing Zhang Xuanning coming, took the lead by the chief of the Su, curts-kneeled and saluted, because they were pro-soldiers, so there were many light armor on the body, especially above the chief, wearing heavy armor, walking between, clanging sounds, kneeling in front of Zhang Xuanning.

Zhang Xuanning saw it, so he didn't feel that they had worked hard, and he wanted to take off his armor to speak, but he took it for granted, smiled faintly at the moment, and ordered all the soldiers to get up, but he was not allowed to take off his iron armor to speak.

As a personal soldier, he must always wear armor to serve the lord and defend against foreign enemies, Zhang Xuanning knows that having heavy armor on his body and not having heavy armor are completely different things, and he said at the moment: "Well, it looks good, you have to obey the detailed rules of the military order, and the order is prohibited, if you let me know that there is loose military discipline, it is only light to lose the official and dismiss the office!"

In fact, a few pro-soldiers once loosened their strings, but they were killed by a cane on the spot.

According to Zhang Xuanning's thoughts, in fact, the pro-soldiers will be the emperor's close army in the future, and the number should be at least one-tenth of his total army, so as to be the real capital to maintain the lord and the emperor's throne, but now the county is short of manpower, and it is enough, and the proportion can be adjusted only when more counties are occupied in the future.

Liusu has seen it and is relatively satisfied, Zhang Xuanning knows that this group of talents is the main force to carry Yang Gong's treasure by himself, so the treatment is never given priority, and the control of his family is also a big bargaining chip.

I feel in my heart that the laws of the nine clans are really praised.

Seeing that the army was formed, he gave an order, and stepped forward with a team of pro-soldiers, according to the new etiquette, the lord went out of the house, such as in the city, at least with a team of pro-soldiers, if he went out of the city, at least with a night of pro-soldiers, this is the current custom, the higher the status in the future, the larger the territory, of course, it will be greatly expanded.

However, at this time, a team of pro-soldiers, is enough, to the city, seeing that the coup d'état has passed in January, there is no trace of it, the city is still quite lively, the street is near the river, there is a bit of Suzhou's appearance, spring is coming, "the street embankment spring willow" is indeed a scene, especially the travelers who come and go, also come one after another, for a time the hustle and bustle, the street travelers and merchants are like ants, the small merchants on both sides, to them, shouting one after another.

"Dried tofu - who wants it?"

"Fried chicken – crispy and charred!"

"Pig's head, pig's head!"

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanning was overjoyed in his heart, and secretly praised Li Bo in his heart that he did have his own set of rules, and he leveled the politics of the county in a short period of time and restored its prosperity.

Arrived at a restaurant, the soldiers stepped forward, saw that the downstairs was lively and noisy, and immediately said to the running hall, although the running hall has not seen, see the form to know that it is extraordinary, and said with a smile: "There is a private seat above, facing the lake and facing the window, you can enjoy the scenery, please come forward." ”

Zhang Xuanning followed the hall man upstairs, saw the screens separated by each other, and entered a private seat.

After a rough look, I ordered a few things, and the soldiers stood next to them, waiting for the wine and food to come up, Zhang Xuanning would never say it, everyone sat down together, sat down by themselves, and looked down. In my heart, I suddenly felt the meaning of a day of leisure.
