On this day, Ren Tianqi came to the Shuai Hall, and asked his uncle and Wen Tingyu to sit on one side, and there were generals and Gong Ming and others below to stand still, divided on both sides. (At this time, Tang Shengzhi had returned to Sichuan).

Ren Tianqi first divided the errands of everyone around him:

Ren Yong and other six Hu commanders were appointed to be partial generals, and they listened to it before the account.

Everyone knelt down and thanked them, lined up on both sides.

Ren Tianqi promulgated seven more military regulations, which are summarized as follows:

A: Kill those who do not obey orders;

B: Kill those who retreat;

C: Whoever collaborates with the enemy and surrenders to the enemy is killed;

and issued five orders in a row, one is to write an official document to list the things that each person has sealed, and the military supplies needed, report to the military department and the household department, and send Gao Li to Lin'an;

First, Zhong Han was ordered to take Sha Wuer, and Ren Xin and the two went to Xuzhou for a field visit;

First, he ordered Yuan Ren to take people to Yangzhou Yingguiquan to allocate the armor and weapons needed for 3,000 military horses;

The first is to order the Black Eagle to collect 500 new Zhai Ding for horse military training,

The first is to order Baiying and Gong Ming to recruit 3,000 troops in Guangling and Hailing.

After leaving the hall, everyone dispersed, Ren Tianqi, Wen Tingyu and others returned to the West Courtyard Hall, and the county lord was also sitting.

A little red said: "Brother, what do you think now? Look at your official knighthood, I'll wait for this little military horse." I see that you have already made a decision, and you really want to do a big job? What about Longqiu Zhuang and Juxian Village?"

Ren Tianqi said with a smile: "This thing is very easy to do, although I am an official and an order today, it is all for Yuan Ren to see, after all, we are not familiar with this person at the moment, I don't know if this person is a secret agent of the imperial court, I don't know my heart." ”

The crowd nodded.

Ren Tianqi said: "I want to go up first, and wait for the imperial court's reply to make plans; second brother, you still take people back to Juxianzhuang, Yangzhou is in the town, hurry up the construction and expansion of the secret room, and I will ask you to come back as soon as there is news; again, no matter how the imperial court responds, after I have recruited 3,000 soldiers, I will lead the troops to move to the bank of the Huai River, so as not to fall into the mouth, and then I will have six or seven thousand soldiers in the camp by the Huai River." ”

A little red's eyes widened, and he said, "Why are there thousands of extra soldiers, could it be that the old prince gave them?"

Ren Tianqi nodded and said: "Exactly, in the future, we will start with these five or six thousand children, depending on the situation, whether it is this general or Xuzhou appeasement." Born in such troubled times, life is not a hero, death is also a ghost, why not take this opportunity to do a lot of great things. ”

Hearing this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Okay, the meaning of the virtuous brother is to support the army in the future, and there are too few soldiers and horses." Besides, you have also debuted for so many years, and the general trend of the world should also be seen clearly, since ancient times, there has been no aftermath of loyalty, and the small court of Lin'an is more afraid of the inside than the outside, and the slave is inactive. It is uncertain and uncertain, and it is useless to protect it, but this north is the world of the Jurchens, and if you vote for it, you are afraid that you will be scolded by the world. This retreat must be well conceived!"

Ren Tianqi glanced at the county lord and said, "The old prince has left me the three thousand Wanyan family ironclad troops on the side of the Huai River, and he will also transfer the Qinglong and the second battalion of the White Tiger in the five Tatar Mongolian battalions under my account to me!"

Gong Ming and a little red widened their eyes.

Gong Ming smiled excitedly: "That master doesn't have 10,000 military horses in his hands, that's a big deal!"

Ren Tianqi nodded and said with a smile: "If these 10,000 military horses can be well-trained, as powerful as the Mongolian battalion, no one in the world dares to underestimate it." Although there are few people, it is enough for us to do something. Xiao San'er, you take the master's token and the prince's token, Ming and Ren Yong and Ren Zhi set off to Pengcheng to see Longkemu, and ask him for a piece of land to make a big camp, and the location of the big camp is not far from the Huai River; Also, you still need 10,000 people's grain and grass to hide in the big camp every month, and you can't wait to come back in advance without the master's letter or the prince's token; also, when you are there, use the name of Longkemu to the outside world, and pay attention to everything to keep a low profile, remember!"

Gong Ming and a little red were puzzled for a while, and looked at Ren Tianqi suspiciously.

Ren Tianqi took two chopsticks and put them on the table, parallel, and gestured: " We are waiting on the north side of the Huai River, put such four or five thousand elite soldiers, although the number is small, it will be used to contain the south, Lin'an is bound to worry, there must be some scruples, maybe there will be a request for us, maybe there will be a taboo for us; and the old prince and the gold lord Shengshang will also have no pressure, the dragon heart is happy, and we will respond to our requests; we have put four or five thousand military horses on the south bank of the Huai River, although they are unable to go north at the moment, but they can block the mouth of some people in the court, Lin'an will not find an excuse to harm me, and will continue to give supplies, and this can be done to make the old prince's throne as stable as Mount Tai。 In this way, we are just looking for opportunities to recruit troops. ”

The crowd nodded.

The county lord hurriedly said, "What's wrong with Daddy?"

Ren Tianqi shook his head and said with a smile: "The old prince is very good, what will happen to the uncle of the county lord today? But wouldn't it be better in this way?"

A little red said: "Yes, but we must not let the people in the village know our intentions, especially in front of a few old men, we must not show a trace, they are loyal and filial, and they are inseparable from the Jurchens." ”

Ren Tianqi said: "That is, I urgently need the support of the old prince as a backer, although I have not put all my hopes on Lin'an, but if you want me to raise troops to go south to confront the imperial court, I will definitely not at the moment." ”

Ren Tianqi said and looked up at the county lord, for fear that the county lord would be unhappy when he heard it, but when he saw his beloved wife full of spring breeze, he said again: "For the sake of safety, we have to organize these three hundred villagers in the village into the big tent soldiers, and the two hundred villagers in the big village should also be organized into Ma Jun's personal soldiers, and these five hundred soldiers will be led by the second brother himself, and our family name can be all thanks to these five hundred villagers and those two Biao Hu Yong!"

A little red said: "If this is the case, then Yangzhou Juxian Courtyard will not be able to live?"

Ren Tianqi nodded and said: "That is, you have to send reliable people to find another place to build a village, either Lin'an City, the lights are dark, everything can be known immediately, but you have to be incognito, or close to Nanjing, the tree is good to enjoy the shade." ”

The crowd nodded.

The county lord said worriedly: "With such concerns, it is better for this official to not do it." ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at Ren Tianqi.

Ren Tianqi smiled and said: "What the county lord said is not unreasonable, but God has taken care of me, and I will leave without making a struggle, not only will I be unwilling, but God will also punish him;

The county lord sighed secretly and said with a smile: "What the lord said is, but this is a good thing to be stable for a few days, and this is not going to be bumpy and displaced, and it will be hard work!"

Ren Tianqi smiled.

Back in the West Courtyard, the five daughters, along with Ren Tianqi, Gong Ming's master and servant, and Ming's housekeeper, were all there.

The county lord glanced at everyone and said with a smile: "It's all here, the lord has decided the fate of all of us in the future, whether it's good or bad, it's up to our lord!"

Everyone looked at Ren Tianqi with bated breath.

Ren Tianqi smiled and said, "It's all easier, don't be so nervous." Ye Jin'er has decided to accept the order of the imperial court and become an official!"

A few people are happy and a few are sad. Xia He clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, let's move to some official office, it's more convenient to go there than to go to the street in Dejia!"

Dong Xue said a little Xia He: "Just you are lazy, is it so easy to be an official!" I didn't look at the drama that there has been a good official since ancient times, and if you are good at the court, not only will you not be rewarded, but it will also arouse the suspicion of others; if you are not good, you will have to leave a reputation for eternity!"

The county lord has some things that are not easy to say, Dong Xue understands the young lady's heart, and preemptively says that she is worried in her heart, so that the master can weigh it again.

Ren Tianqi didn't know the reason, and said with a smile: "Of course, the master's decision is not a momentary whim, but a few days to weigh the pros and cons." Let's think about it, if the lord does not accept this official errand, first, the court will not allow it, it will be investigated, and the two crimes before and after will be punished together, the lord is wronged, the lord has lost an arm, he is already in his last years, and he is unbearable to be displaced again; first, if he does not accept the official, he will lose his reputation in the world, and the Central Plains will no longer be able to stay, and he will definitely abandon his family and business, we don't care, but the old lady, the old lady will not leave; first, if he does not accept the official, Zhujiazhuang will inevitably make a comeback, and Renjiabao will have no place to stand. Fame and fortune, title, I never thought about it, what I wanted to live was the kind of life that started and fell, and the family was happy. But we were born in this troubled era, we can only protect ourselves, and we can't count on others, let alone the court. The reason why he became an official is to protect himself, and to make everyone around him live a safe and happy life! If it is God's affection that makes him make a great difference, he is also willing to seek well-being for more villagers!"

Dong Xue said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's against people's wishes." ”

Ren Tianqi nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the biggest trouble of being an official is that you can't protect yourself." Fortunately, now that the Lin'an court is weak, we can support our own troops. As long as we and the old prince are each other's supporters and cautious in everything, everything is possible. ”

When the people heard that Renjiapu was ordered to openly recruit volunteers, they were preparing to go north to recover the land of Xuhuai, and the displaced people were scrambled, and in less than half a decade, more than 4,300 soldiers were recruited. Zhujiazhuang also donated 200 horses.

So far, Ren Tianqi has 5,300 soldiers, 800 personal soldiers, 300 horse troops, and 500 infantry troops, among which 200 people have martial arts and strong skills, and Ren Tianqi personally taught the art of fists and feet and swords, which is regarded as a tiger guard, led by Ren Tianqi himself. The more than 4,000 troops were organized into nine biao, five biao infantry troops, four puma armies, and the five biao infantry armies were divided into two biao bow divisions, 500 fast bows, and 500 heavy bows; one biao spear and long knife; one biao short sword and iron shield; and the four puma armies were organized into two biao heavy armored horse armies and two biao fast horse armies. The troops of the department set up 2,000 soldiers in the main village, stationed 1,800 soldiers in the village, and the remaining 2,500 soldiers were led by the general Yuan Ren and stationed outside the village.
