readx; Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen immediately called a meeting between Xie Sheng and Yan Ling. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info If he can't shake the feudal etiquette for a while, then at least he must ensure the personal safety of all his relatives, and he can't let Wei Zhongxian's danger of assassinating him be staged repeatedly.

Xie Sheng first reported on the situation of the Qin soldiers who stayed in Qinwangzhuang, as well as the situation of city defense and law and order in the past year.

At present, there are 1,500 Qin soldiers in Qinwangzhuang, most of whom were reservists recruited by Li Zicheng during the siege of the city last year, and they do not have much actual combat experience. However, Xie Sheng paid close attention to their training, and everyone had to practice firearms, foot combat, and cavalry combat, and they had to go to study classes at night to learn how to read. Therefore, the quality of these 1,500 individual soldiers is not much lower than that of the original veterans, but they lack the tempering of actual combat.

However, Qinwangzhuang now has a permanent population of more than 20,000 people, plus thousands of foreign traders and more than 10,000 captives every day, which is nearly 40,000 people. Moreover, there were no officials in the city, and it was really difficult for these 1,500 people to be responsible for all the work of city defense, public security, and dealing with emergencies.

As for the city's defense and law and order, it can only be said that the situation is fine. In the first battle of Jingyang last year, Li Zicheng's tens of thousands of troops failed to capture Qinwangzhuang, which was a great deterrent to the thieves and bandits in Shaanxi, and no one dared to fight Qinwangzhuang anymore. However, Xie Sheng was an extremely cautious person, regardless of whether there was an enemy situation or not, he still adhered to the excellent tradition of the Qin soldiers, and sent small teams of cavalry to patrol the periphery of Jingyang every day. And even at night, there were at least a hundred Qin soldiers on each of the four walls. He himself was even more prodigious, and he actually lived in the city tower and did not return home for most of the year.

The law and order situation in the city is becoming more and more complicated. As more and more people come to Qinwangzhuang to do business, it is becoming more and more difficult to manage the floating population. After all, the Qin soldiers were an army, and their main focus was on the military, so it was impossible to spend most of their energy on maintaining law and order. Therefore, Xie Sheng only asked his deputy Chen Wuwa to lead 200 Qin soldiers to be responsible for patrolling the city, and it is difficult to manage tens of thousands of people with just 200 people.

Due to the mixed handling of the military and the people, Xie Sheng also grasped military discipline very strictly. In addition to restraining himself, he also asked Yan Ling's special combat team members to observe in secret, once they found that Qin soldiers were slacking off, off-duty, or even bullying the people while on duty, they would be severely punished with at least twenty military sticks, and if the circumstances were serious, they would be directly expelled from the Qin soldiers.

After listening to Xie Sheng's report, Zhu Youzhen said with satisfaction: "It's a good job, especially the last one, it is necessary and rare to let someone other than Qin Bing supervise Qin Bing!" Because people are often 'dark under the lamp' and can't see their own faults. Xie Sheng is not greedy for power, does not protect his shortcomings, can lead by example, and is the material of a general! ”

After Xie Sheng finished speaking, Yan Ling introduced the situation of the special combat team members. Originally, there were 50 special combat personnel, and Zhu Youzhen took half of them with him when he went to Dengzhou, and now he is still stranded and has not returned. Yan Ling's selection requirements for his subordinates were extremely harsh, so now there were only more than 30 special combat team members, mainly responsible for the guards of the palace, and also undertaking some work to secretly observe the abnormal situation in the city.

Because the Qin Wangfu is a city within a city, it is not easy for outsiders to get in, so in the past year, there has been no situation in the Qin Wangfu. However, among the many outsiders who have come to the city to do business, the special operators have found dozens of suspicious targets.

"Oh? Tell me more! Zhu Youzhen became nervous when he boarded.

Yan Ling hurriedly introduced: "These dozens of people are all scattered into the city alone or two or three people, saying that they came to Qinwangzhuang to do business. But when they registered at the inn, they registered a different name each time. They may have felt that this would not attract attention, but the inn is a place of key surveillance, and the daily guest register is carefully checked by special combat personnel. Although the names of these people are different each time, the handwriting is exactly the same, but it is self-defeating and we are targeting.

"I sent special combat team members to keep an eye on them, and found that they said they were doing business, but they were just wandering around the city, and they didn't see any business, and their appearance was very suspicious. The special combat team followed them all the way and found that after they left the city, they all returned to the eunuch's mansion in Xi'an! ”

"Guarding the Eunuch's Mansion? What is this? Zhu Youzhen said curiously.

Yan Ling replied: "Since Guan Ning came to Xi'an last year to announce the decree, the imperial court has re-established the town guard eunuch in Xi'an, and Wei Zhongxian's godgrandson, the eunuch Li Qin, has served as the eunuch. He can not only restrain the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou and take over the military power in the northwest, but also arbitrarily interfere in local civil affairs, and his power is monstrous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the emperor of Xi'an. The branches of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in Shaanxi are naturally under the control of Li Qin, and I suspect that those guys who pretend to be businessmen are all Dongchang fans sent by Li Qin! ”

"Hmm! What did they do? Zhu Youzhen frowned.

"Nothing has been done yet." Yan Ling said, "And when they entered the city, their weapons were temporarily seized, and they didn't make any trouble." However, they must have thoroughly explored the terrain inside and outside Qinwangzhuang, and they must always be on guard. ”

"That's right, if you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid of thieves!" Zhu Youzhen said hatefully, "Wei Zhongxian has repeatedly sent Dongchang masters to assassinate the king, and I have been passive every time, and this situation should be changed!" Yan Ling, I now order you to immediately expand the special combat team, to about 200 people. It is mainly selected from the Qin soldiers, and the people can also recruit directly if they have suitable ones. ”

"To add so many people?" Yan Ling frowned and said, "I am afraid that there are not so many people who can meet the criteria for selecting the final general!" ”

"You can relax the standards appropriately first, and be wide in and strict out!" Zhu Youzhen said firmly, "I'll tell you why you want to increase so much, because Wei Zhongxian is now mad, and this king has to be on guard!" Of these two hundred people, fifty people are dedicated to defending the king, and one hundred are defending the palace of the king of Qin. Especially the two princesses and the two county lords, they often show their heads, and every time they travel, there are at least twenty special combat team members to protect them! The remaining fifty men were used as mobile troops. You should step up your training so that they can master the combat skills of the special combat personnel as soon as possible. I won't be beaten in the future, the special combat team will take the initiative! ”

Yan Ling happily took the order and left, Xie Sheng said with half envy and half embarrassment: "Your Highness, of course the special combat team should be expanded. But in this way, the Qin soldiers will be reduced by more than a hundred people, and the pressure on the last general will be even greater..."

"This king will not wronged you!" Zhu Youzhen laughed and said, "This king said just now, you are the material to be a general, and you only command more than a thousand people, what can you do?" This king orders you to expand the army immediately, and increase the Qin soldiers to 3,000 first! ”

Xie Sheng was overjoyed at first, and then said with some worry: "Although the last general doesn't care about money and food, he also knows a little about the income and expenditure of the palace. With so many troops, His Highness will have to increase his monthly expenditure of 10,000 taels of silver. ”

"You don't have to worry about money." Zhu Youzhen resolutely said, "What you have to do is to bring me an elite soldier who can fight at any time and will win every battle!" ”
