Chapter 19: The Bandits of the Army
Early the next morning, a recruitment notice was posted at the entrance of the government office, and the people who heard the wind gathered all over the road, and in just one day, 5,000 strong men had been recruited.
After three consecutive days, more than 20,000 soldiers had been recruited.
Why did the people flock to join the army, but it also came down to the alien races around Xiangping.
Xianbei and Wuhuan often drove troops to plunder the people, and they had already planted a feud with the people of the Han Dynasty.
At present, Li Huiyi is playing the slogan of defending his homeland and expelling foreign races, and he naturally has the support of the people.
There are not many soldiers, and Li Huiyi naturally knows this.
The recruitment has ended, and Li Huiyi has decided to divide the army into levels, and has already made the most of his combat power.
In the council hall of the government, Li Huiyi looked at the small team under his command and said, "Gao Shun, you select soldiers as soon as possible and form a guard." β
Gao Shun hugged his fists and said: "Okay, tomorrow's subordinates will choose." β
After Li Huiyi heard this, he turned his head to Zhang He and said: "Tomorrow, after Gao Shun picks up, you will choose again and form an elite team to prepare for the war, I don't know if you have confidence?" β
Zhang He said: "Don't worry, my lord, under your command, you must be a soldier who can fight." β
"Okay, with the words of ιδΉδΉ, Huiyi will be relieved." Li Huiyi nodded with satisfaction and looked at Guan Hai.
"Guan Hai, the rest will be incorporated into the government soldiers to defend the city and maintain law and order."
Guan Hai said with a smile on his face: "Yes, my subordinates obey orders." β
Li Huiyi comforted: "Okay, these days, everyone is tired of hard work, so while there is still time today, let's take a rest." β
Recruiting 20,000 soldiers in three days was indeed a bit tiring, and when they heard Li Huiyi's words, the three of them left with their fists folded.
Looking at Chen Gong beside him, Li Huiyi said respectfully: "Sir, how many pairs of armor are there in the treasury?" β
Chen Gong thought for a moment and said, "There are about three thousand pairs. β
Li Huiyi frowned and said: "It's just that, how can it be good, without armor, if you go to the battlefield, the casualties will increase." β
Chen Gong said: "At the moment, we can only distribute three thousand pairs for the elite division to use, and then find a way to do the rest." β
Seeing that Chen Gong had nothing to do, Li Huiyi said helplessly: "Okay, according to Mr. Chen's words, during this time, Mr. Hard Work will work more on things in the county." β
Chen Gong said: "It's okay, it's all within my part." β
Li Huiyi said: "Okay, sir, rest early and pay more attention to your body." β
Lack of equipment, lack of food, completely inconsistent with what he imagined, Li Huiyi also racked his brains, wanting to change the status quo, but it was difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
The newly recruited 20,000 strong men were divided by three people, followed by endless training, and they had to become an army as soon as possible.
Li Huiyi discussed with Chen Gong many times, and also decided to use the tuntian system, busy farming and sowing, training in his spare time, and seeking to be self-sufficient.
However, after the army returned to the heart, Li Huiyi also repaid his blood and gave the soldiers more money, which also exceeded the Han Dynasty.
Seeing that the treasury was gradually empty, and the army had initially achieved combat effectiveness, Li Huiyi's long-awaited poisonous plan decided to be activated.
On this day, Li Huiyi found Guan Hai alone and decided to send him to complete the matter.
In a quiet hut, Li Huiyi clinged to Guan Hai's ear and whispered.
Hearing Li Huiyi's arrangement, Guan Hai's face showed fanaticism, and he patted his chest to reassure. "Don't worry, my lord, this thing is often done by my subordinates, and it will be done beautifully."
Li Huiyi's face turned cold and said: "Okay, you must do it cleanly, if there is a little accident, you don't have to come back, you know?" β
"Yes, don't worry, sir." Guan Hai smiled and turned to leave.
Watching Guan Hai go away, Li Huiyi said to himself coldly. "Xiangping should change the sky, otherwise everyone else will take the master as air."
β¦β¦
On this day, a major event occurred in Xiangping, the Wang family was wiped out all over the house, and the people in the city were panicked.
Upon learning the news, Li Huiyi and Chen Gong rushed to the scene as soon as possible.
The smell of blood is everywhere, corpses are everywhere, and the Wang family's crime of bullying men and women is written on the wall, and the words are Cai Xu, the overlord of the north.
Who is Cai Xu?
It was a group of bandits who had been in trouble for a long time, and their actions were also rampant.
All the phenomena show that it was all done by the bandits, and Li Huiyi immediately flew into a rage, but then there was no way to do it.
just ordered people to post notices and let everyone take precautions, and there was no sound anymore.
But within a few days of this incident, another small family was washed away in blood, and the family in the city was completely restless.
In order to ask Li Huiyi to suppress the bandits, the family elected the Zhen family as a representative and invited Li Huiyi to come.
Upon learning the news, Li Huiyi immediately responded and decided to go to the banquet and cry about his difficulties.
Long overdue, Li Huiyi arrived at Zhen's mansion, only to see that the family had already arrived. "Huiyi is late, I hope you don't blame it."
As the head of the family, the head of the Zhen family naturally has to maintain a joyful atmosphere. "It's okay, the guests have just arrived, adults are seated."
Under the leadership of the head of the Zhen family, Li Huiyi sat on the left side of the upper seat, and opposite was the head of the Yuan family.
At the wine banquet, as soon as Li Huiyi sat down, he began to push the cup and change the cup with everyone, and did not talk about the thieves at all.
Half an hour passed, and finally someone couldn't help it and took the lead in asking questions. "Dare to ask Xiangping Ling, can the Wang family's affairs be eyebrow-raised?"
"Alas!" Li Huiyi's face was slightly red, and he was embarrassed: "This official also wants to clear up the bandits, but there is no food in the treasury, so we can't let the soldiers kill the enemy on an empty stomach." β
Grain, that is money spent in vain, and the families will naturally not take it out easily.
But when their lives are threatened, they can't sit still and die.
The atmosphere was awkward, and the head of the Zhen family could only come out to break the atmosphere. "Xiangping order, the Zhen family has no food, can you wait for a few days, the old man will personally go to the master's house to borrow grain, and then send it to the government?"
Li Huiyi said politely: "The head of the Zhen family doesn't need to be polite, the 500,000 stones, this official can remember it." β
"Tomorrow, I will send three hundred soldiers to guard the Zhen Mansion day and night to ensure that the Zhen family is not harmed at all."
The head of the Zhen family arched his hand and said, "Okay, then thank you Xiangping Ling." β
Looking at the words of the two, what Li Huiyi wants is already clear, and the rest depends on whether the families are on the road.
Life and money, which is more important, is naturally clear at a glance.
At this time, a small family of the Zhen family faction couldn't help but stand up and said: "I wish the family to give out 5,000 stones for Xiangping to suppress the bandits." β
Li Huiyi glanced at it, nodded and said, "Five thousand stones, this official will send a hundred soldiers tomorrow to guard the Zhu Mansion." β
Offering food for protection, the rest of the family saw this, and could only reluctantly agree.
"The Zhang family is willing to pay 10,000 stones."
"The Li family is willing to pay 20,000 stones."
β¦β¦
One after another, Li Huiyi didn't care, but looked at the head of the Yuan family.
Seeing the sharp gaze, the head of the Yuan family stood up and said, "The Yuan family will give 600,000 stones, and I hope that Xiangping will order the bandits to be suppressed as soon as possible." β
"Hahaha!" Li Huiyi stood up and said, "Okay, with your strong support, this official will definitely clean up all the bandits in the vicinity, and return it to a bright future." β
"Good! Thank you Xiangping Ling, Xiangping Ling is really a good official. β
"Xiangping Ling is really a savior."
Seeing that Li Huiyi promised to suppress the bandits, all the guests present offered their sycophants.
"Ahem!" After all, if you don't see the real thing, Li Huiyi will not feel at ease. "As the so-called three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, I don't know when you will send the grain?"
Since they have agreed, the family also wants to quell the bandits as soon as possible, so they naturally do not want to delay time.
"Tomorrow, the Yuan family will send someone to send it, Xiangping Ling, please rest assured."
"Yes, yes, we'll do the same."
β¦β¦
The goal has been achieved, Li Huiyi stood up and said: "Okay, since this is the case, this official will go first and go back to prepare for the suppression of bandits." β
Seeing this, the guests stood up to send each other off. "Xiangping orders to go slowly......"
