Chapter 5: Another God of War
The people on the other side came quickly, and in a blink of an eye, they were already approaching.
Seeing the carriage in the crowd, one of the riders accelerated and galloped forward.
"Bold thief, don't let him go soon!"
The man on the horse was in his forties, wearing a flat scarf on his head, a green robe, and a horizontal knife at his waist. A red square face is staring with raised eyebrows at this time.
Seeing that this person was wearing an official robe, Qin Qiong stepped forward without humility or arrogance, and arched his hand, "Qin Qiong, a soldier of the Yiwei Mansion on the lower right, has visited Shangguan, and the blue-faced eighteen ghosts who were blocking the road and robbing here just now have been captured by a certain class. ”
The man on the horse only realized at this time that the thieves behind Qin Qiong had been tied into a long line.
"Captured?" He couldn't help but be surprised. "What about my daughter?"
Luo Feng had already recognized the man on the horse from memory as their parent Zhang Yichen, the official of Zhangqiu County, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Luo Wu, a villager from Nanshan Mountain, visited Zhang County, and the thief suddenly attacked, thanks to the help of Qin Weishi, I and my fellow villagers also desperately helped to take down the thief, and the county commander's daughter was not injured at all, and now he is in the carriage." ”
Hearing that his daughter was fine, Zhang Xianling breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Zhao Zhu, who had fled back, quickly report that his daughter's carriage had been robbed here, but he immediately rushed over.
"Runniang!" Zhang Xianling jumped off his horse and ran to the carriage.
The curtain of the carriage was lifted,
First came down a maid, wearing a small-sleeved shirt, a high-waisted long skirt, a drooping belt, a drape over her shoulders, and a bun on her head.
Immediately after that, a slightly older girl came down, she was dressed in a blue large-sleeved shirt and a yellow veil on the outside, slim and beautiful.
She looks like she's only twenty-eight years old.
"Aye!"
The daughter of the county magistrate called excitedly, her voice was very moving, Luo Feng, who was only a few steps away, could smell a good smell of virgin fragrance, and Miss Zhang's beauty and beauty made him even more amazed, I didn't expect that there was such a beautiful girl in the Sui Dynasty thousands of years ago.
To be specific, it's not how to captivate the country and the city, and it doesn't feel particularly amazing in terms of pure appearance, but there is a sense of purity that can not be seen in later generations, it is completely clear water out of hibiscus, without too much makeup, a natural face, plain and pure but with exquisite facial features that are very attractive, coupled with her Sui Dynasty clothes and accessories, so that Luo Feng, who is used to seeing women in later generations, can't help but light up.
"Runniang, are you okay?"
Zhang Xianling looked her daughter up and down, Runniang hurriedly told her father, her voice was very small, vaguely as if she had mentioned Qin Qiong and Luo Wu, Luo Feng looked at Runniang's father and daughter boldly and a little rudely, but Qin Qiong on the side was very polite and did not squint.
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Yichen laughed, "I really didn't expect to meet a blue-faced ghost here, but fortunately I had the help of a few righteous people, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable." ”
He turned around and looked at Qin Qiong and Luo Feng again, just now his daughter had almost told him about the thief, if it wasn't for what his daughter said to him personally, he could hardly believe that the group of people in front of him were so powerful, especially that Qin Qiong.
"Qin Qiong, Luo Wu?"
Qin Qiong arched his hand, "In the lower Qin Qiong word Shubao, the second in the family, from Licheng County, Qi County." This is my aunt's cousin, surnamed Luo from Zhangqiu South Village, and the fifth in the family. ”
At this time, the group of people behind had also arrived in front, and several knights came over with a middle-aged knight.
His gaze swept over the blue-faced ghosts who were tied, and looked at Qin Qiong and Luo Feng with some curiosity, "Zhang Yuanjun, it seems to be a false alarm!" ”
Zhang Xian Ling handed over to the man on the horse, "It was originally a catastrophe, but fortunately, with the help of these strong men, the little girl was able to save the day, and she was also surprised to take down all the blue-faced eighteen ghosts that the government has been compiling." ”
"It's a good thing, these are the eighteen blue-faced ghosts who took it?" Immediately, the man seemed a little unconvinced.
"Zhang Juncheng, as the little girl said herself, the blue-faced eighteen ghosts were captured by them, especially the two cousins of Qin Luo are even more brave and unstoppable, only the Qin guards killed two and captured three alive with a pair of double hammers, this Luo Wulang also knocked down three thieves, which is really amazing."
"Oh, although Zhang is a newcomer and has not officially taken office, he has also heard of the blue-faced eighteen ghosts rampant in Shandong, and he is a bandit who is difficult to collect, and he didn't expect to be planted here."
Zhang Yichen hurriedly said to Qin Qiong and Luo Feng at this time, "This is our newly appointed Zhang Juncheng of Qi County, why don't you hurry up and see them." ”
The county is a county.
There are counties in counties, and counties also have counties.
As soon as Luo Feng heard that the other party was a juncheng, he immediately knew that this was a big man.
In the realm of a county within a radius of 100 miles, the main book of the county order county is generally called the three heads, and in the county, it is generally sorted down by Taishou, Tongshou, and Juncheng.
Before Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, when the Sui Dynasty was first established, the whole country inherited the administrative divisions of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the divisions were very chaotic. Emperor Wen later reformed the division, so he abolished the county level and left only the prefecture, making the whole country a state and county two-level system.
After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne as emperor, he came to another reform, abolished the state and set up counties, and implemented the two-level system of counties and counties. It may sound like a bit of a nonsense, but changing the state system to the county system actually has a lot of meaning. The number of counties decreased, and the rank of officials at the local county level was reduced, and the central court had more control over the localities.
At first, the county was set up in the county, and it was changed to the county after a while.
Different from the responsibilities of the county office, Yang Guang has made great adjustments to the county level. For example, the power of the county to obey the county order to levy subordinate officials was stripped away, and the appointment was appointed by the imperial court. For another example, in the past, the assassin Shi Taishou had a lot of power, both civil and military, but Yang Guang took away the military power of Taishou, and Taishou only governed the people.
Too conservative to govern the people, through the command of the county soldiers.
However, only some large counties have to be guarded by the county, and most of the counties do not have the official position of guarding, so the responsibility of commanding the army is the responsibility of the county.
The three most famous counties at the end of the Sui Dynasty should be Li Jing of Yanmen County, Wang Shichong of Jiangdu County, and Zhang Xutuo of Qi County.
Luo Feng looked at the burly man in his forties in front of him, he was the new Qijun Juncheng, and his surname was Zhang, so it seemed that this seemed to be Zhang Xutuo.
When it comes to the name of Zhang Xutuo, it is the person who left his name in the history books and is known as the pillar of heaven at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Qin Qiongcheng bit Jin Luo Shixin and other fierce generals, they are all under the command of this one, Li Mi, Zhai Rang, Shan Xiongxin, Xu Shiji and other anti-Wang Cao Mang at the end of the Sui Dynasty were all defeated under him.
It is said that Zhang Xutuo followed Shi Wansui and Yang Su in his early years, and he had rich experience in battle formations, the art of war, and outstanding martial arts.
Unexpectedly, he actually met here.
