Chapter 148: The first step in rebuilding the Western Army
Tan Jun, the new warden of Anyang County, is extremely happy today, and it has been a long time since he took office in Anyang County, and today is the most relaxed day for him.
After studying for most of his life, when he was old, the official fortune came, and he was promoted several levels from a county magistrate to a group of guards, which was originally a very happy thing, but his place was not a good place. Anyang County, a place that had just been poisoned by the Qin people and was in ruins, became the first stop of his county guard career.
If it was a few years ago, Anyang County would still be a fat place, because of the existence of Zuo Lixing, Anyang County is as stable as a rock, with vast plains and rich land, making Anyang County the richest county in Dachu except for those counties in the south. But now, it has become the hardest chore.
Because the Qin people will come at any time.
Of course, Tan Jun also understands that if Anyang County hadn't become like this, how could it be his turn to be a person like him who has no court backstage and no family background to be the master? Over the years, I have worked hard, but no matter what kind of achievements I have made in office, how much I have increased above the imperial court evaluation, in the end, I just went around between various poor counties, and finally made some achievements, and someone immediately came to take over, and I had to go to another bitter place to polish.
was already dead, but the official fortune came at this time. The officialdom storm of Da Chu swept across the country, the former left minister Yang Yihe's people were swept away, and there was a shortage of officials across the country, and the descendants of the second highness were naturally reluctant to come to Anyang County.
Worry about! This is the only thought of Tan Jun who arrived. The treasury was empty, and at the time of the handover, the former county warden Cheng Pingzhi told Tan Jun that at that time, in order to let the Qin people withdraw from the army, all the stocks in the treasury were emptied. A messy mess that couldn't be more messy.
There is no money, you can still hold on, what makes Tan Jun most frightened is that the Qin people are close to Anyang City, and it is only a few days of effort to send troops from the Luoying Mountains to Anyang City, and the new commander of the county soldiers of Anyang County, Duan Xuan, clearly told him that if the Qin people come, he expects these rotten county soldiers to make any effective resistance, and the only way is the old way of the predecessor, spending money to eliminate the disaster.
Tan Jun has been an official in the mainland before, and he has experienced the taste of roasting on the fire, and he really doesn't know the taste of food, and he can't sleep well. I was afraid that when the greedy Qin people would come over again.
has only been in office for more than a month, but he has already lost more than ten pounds, and the official robe that originally fitted is now loose and loose.
Fortunately, the Qin people are still very face-saving, and there has been no movement for this period of time, and today, Tan Jun finally breathed a sigh of relief, because the new commander of the Western Frontier Army appointed by the imperial court was about to arrive.
The famous general An Ruhai.
For Tan Jun, this is a real god, a veteran of the first emperor's period, deeply trusted by the first emperor, with him coming to the west to sit in town, many things that he can't solve at all, nothing is anything to him.
He's here, at least on top of the military, and he doesn't have to be in such a hurry anymore.
Standing at the east gate, standing with his hands in his hands, looking westward, he was sincerely looking forward to An Ruhai appearing in front of him quickly, and the moment he appeared, he would have let go of half of his thoughts. Behind him were the officials of the county guard and the chief officials of more than a dozen counties under the rule of Anyang County, all gathered in Anyang City today to welcome the arrival of the new commander of the Western Army.
On the other side, standing was Duan Xuan, the new commander of the county soldiers of Anyang County. Tan Jun doesn't know much about this general, and can only observe this future partner with his most intuitive feelings. In terms of level, he wants to be the commander of the high county soldiers for half a level, and he is also his direct boss, but from the perspective of civil and military affairs, the two are more of a cooperative relationship, in this kind of border city, if the civil and military are not compatible, it will not be able to do things at all, and it may even be bad.
On the whole, he still thinks that this Duan Xuan is very good, at least, it is much stronger than the previous county generals, from the time they left the city to the present, this Duan Xuan has been standing there in a straight posture for almost half an hour, and he didn't even move, Tan Jun doesn't understand military affairs, but just by looking at the twisting bodies of the former county soldiers behind Duan Xuan, he can still see the gap between the two at a glance.
I hope that the newly appointed commander Duan can train a strong army, no matter what, this county soldier is still nominally under his command, in this place of Anyang County, there are soldiers in his hands, and he is not panicked! Of course, when everything settles down, he still has to think about having a good relationship with this commander, sometimes, a good personal relationship is much more useful than the normal order of the official, Tan Jun, who has been wandering around in the position of the low-level chief for many years, deeply understands this truth.
The sound of rumbling horses' hooves sounded in his ears, Tan Jun retracted his thoughts, and tidied up his official uniform and hat, making his demeanor more dignified. glanced back at the subordinates behind him, and sure enough, those people also stood up straight one by one.
An Ruhai is a real god.
On the horizon, a large flag first appeared, and then hundreds of war horses jumped out of the horizon one after another, and in the middle of these war horses, there were several carriages.
From the report received earlier, I know that this time An Ruhai did not come to take office alone, and he came with his family, the dignified general of the dynasty, the most trusted general of the first emperor, obviously ready to take root in Western Xinjiang, this alone made Tan Jun feel very ashamed, because after receiving the holy decree to come to Anyang County to take office, he came alone, and the situation in Anyang County is now grim, and he doesn't want his family to follow him to be afraid.
Compared with General An, he is still too far behind in serving the country and the people, and General An Da came to take office with his family, for the officials and people of Anyang County, he took a reassuring pill. Or, you should press all your family members to show that you are advancing and retreating with General Anda.
Obviously, seeing the crowd of people at the gate of the city, the horse team suddenly accelerated, leaving only dozens of horsemen guarding the carriage behind, and the galloping war horses arrived at the city gate in an instant, as the first person slammed the war horse, hundreds of war horses stopped almost at the same time, well-trained, so that the officials who greeted the people and the people who watched the excitement cheered together, for these people who had just experienced fright and suffering, it was naturally very happy to see their country's army have such a strong performance at this time.
Scissors heard the gasp of the generals of the county soldiers behind him, and his face twitched slightly, this kind of formation, for him, is not unusual, he has fought too many battles with the Qin people, and he knows that whether an army can fight or not, it is not on these shows, only when facing life and death, can we really distinguish the real combat effectiveness of an army. The cavalry brought by An Ruhai can only be said to be well-trained at best.
The border troops of the Qin State looked like a group of refugees, but the kind of lifeless momentum of the war made people feel uneasy. Every time I fight them, it's like walking around the ghost gate. He was a little annoyed by the gaffes of the generals behind him, the civilian officials and the common people did not understand military affairs, and it was natural to be surprised and cheer, but if you are the same, what else can you prove besides proving that you don't know how to fight at all?
Seeing Tan Jun stepping forward, Duan Xuan was half a step behind, and he also walked up, and the two giants of Anyang County, Yiwen and Wuwu, walked towards An Ruhai.
On the back of the tall war horse, An Ruhai's eyes were like electricity, and he glanced in front of him, Tan Jun, an official who has been wandering around at the bottom for decades, has a lot of political achievements, especially in the development of the local economy, he can be promoted to Anyang County several levels in a row, and he is going to come by name. After working in the internal guard for so many years, not to mention anything else, An Ruhai is still clear about the ability of the officials of Da Chu, and now Anyang County is in ruins, and such hard-working officials are needed. Min Ruoying promised to give her whatever she wanted, and her first request was to get this Tan Jun. Of course, An Ruhai didn't intend to let Tan Jun know that he could be promoted several levels in a row because of himself.
His eyes swept over the military general who was half a step behind Tan Jun, but An Ruhai's brows were furrowed, Duan Xuan, nicknamed Scissors, this time the operation to exterminate the death camp, if it were not for the participation of this person, it would not have been possible to complete it at all. For the resume of scissors, An Ruhai is also clear. There are no weak soldiers under the strong generals, and the generals brought by Qin Feng are completely different from the group of county generals behind him in terms of temperament, I have to say that this Duan Xuan is a capable general, but An Ruhai doesn't like him, he doesn't like him very much. Betrayal, betrayal, no matter what the purpose, people like An Ruhai don't like it.
He rolled over and dismounted.
"Tan Jun has seen An Shuai!" Tan Jun clenched his fists, slammed them to the ground, and said with a smile: "An Shuai, you can be regarded as coming, you are here, my heart finally fell back into my stomach." ”
An Ruhai returned the salute with a fist, and An Ruhai still respects an official like Tan Jun who has been diligent for decades, because it is with the existence of these people that Da Chu has the second strength in the world today. "Lord Tan, someone An is ordered to rebuild the Western Army, and there are too many places that need the cooperation of Anyang County in the future, and I also ask Lord Tan to support him at that time. Ann was grateful. ”
"Where did An Shuai come from! The rebuilding of the Western Army is for the safety of the people of Anyang County, and also for the safety of the western part of Dachu, as long as An Shuai needs it, Anyang County is to smash the pot and sell iron, and it has to support An Shuai, if there is no strong army to protect Anyang County, everything else is empty. Tan Jun said: "So An Shuai doesn't have to worry about the attitude of Anyang County, the attitude of the lower officials is to fully support An Shuai." ”
"Thank you!" An Ruhai smiled. Although in terms of influence and rank, he is far from being comparable to Tan Jun, but the division of civil and military affairs in Great Chu, the border army and the county governance are completely two systems, if you really pull the skin, it is not an easy thing to deal with, and now it seems that I am taking the right first step to get Tan Jun here.
"Duan Xuan, the commander of the soldiers of Anyang County, has seen An Shuai!" Scissors took a step forward and gave a military salute to An Ruhai.
Although the county soldiers do not belong to the border army sequence, they are still soldiers after all, An Ruhai is not so polite, just nodded lightly, "Commander Duan, I know you." This time, you have made a great contribution and killed your relatives with righteousness, which is really admirable. ”
In the face of this thorny praise, Duan Xuan's face remained unchanged, and he bowed slightly: "Serve the country, you should be like this." (To be continued.) )
