Chapter 80: Pull the brothers into the gang
Thanks again (scarecrow) brother for the tip, thank you! Volume 2 starts today, ask for recommendation votes!
Finally having a piece of land of his own, Li Jing's steps back to the camp were much brisker. When he first came to this world, he didn't think that far ahead, and he paid a great price for it, and even almost lost his life. Although he was fortunate to be released from prison with a general amnesty, he was spared the plan to escape halfway. And after that, he finally stumbled all the way to the present, and now he has a certain identity and money.
I don't have to worry about the family not having enough to eat every day, and there is no tomorrow today. It's just that Li Jing is not just an ordinary Tang Dynasty citizen. He also knew in his heart that there were some more and farther things, and the Great People's Revolution at the end of the Tang Dynasty was coming, and even the emperor's two capitals would not be able to protect and escape. Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? The last time he happened to meet the new emperor to ascend the throne and escape from prison, how could he protect himself and his family as a small citizen?
In the coming catastrophe, the only way to do this is to have your own territory, and your own armament is fundamental.
Whether it is to go to Qingzhou or stay in Dengzhou, it is too difficult for Li Jing to get ahead, although going to Shamen Island is full of hardships, but the sky will not drop a piece of inheritance for him. With such a relatively independent territory as Salmon Island and three hundred subordinates, he was able to build up his initial force.
In the barracks on the left, Lin Wei, Lin Wu, Wang Chong, Zhang Hong and others all stood in front of the camp gate with their hands in their hands, waiting for Li Jing to come back. Ever since Li Jing told Song Wen that they had killed Feng Yanqing, everyone's hearts have been hanging high. Yesterday, they followed Li Jing and Cui Yunqing to the Song Mansion for a banquet, thinking that Song Wen was going to have a showdown. Unexpectedly, the last one didn't even mention it.
A few people from afar saw Li Jing riding over, and Wang Chong, who was anxious, was the first to run over, pulled Li Jing's clothes and said, "What did the surnamed Song say to you?" ”
"Good thing!" Li Jing smiled and replied with two words, and then closed his mouth and refused to say another word, just jumped off the horse and walked straight to his camp, making Wang Chong anxious to jump to his feet, but Lin Wei and Zhang Hong guessed that things must be going well when they saw Li Jing like this, otherwise Li Jing would not have such an expression.
After entering the tent, Li Jing sat down, put his hands on the table in front of him, and gently tapped on the table, but he was not in a hurry to speak.
Wang Chong sat on the side and was anxious after all, and said: "San Lang, don't sell Guanzi, what is the situation?" ”
"Good thing." Li Jing chuckled. In fact, on the way back to the present, Li Jing has not spoken because he wants to sell Guanzi, but because he has been planning to arrange for other subordinate officers after he goes to Shamen Town. Shamen Town was originally just a garrison, with a total of only 50 people. In addition to the lord, there is also a deputy lord, a marquis of Yu, a soldier, two soldiers, and the remaining three captains.
Although Shamen Town is only a medium town, there are many of his established officers. According to the establishment, in the middle town of 300 people, there is a Zhongzhen general with a positive seventh grade, a deputy general from the middle town on the seventh grade, a general Yu Hou from the seventh grade, and a soldier Cao under the ninth rank to join the army. In addition, there is also a coach from the eighth grade, and four instructors from the ninth grade: horsemanship, bow and arrow, spear and stick, sword and shield. Then there are three generals from the eighth grade, three deputy generals from the eighth grade, and three Yu Hou from the eighth grade. As well as six positive nine rank under the team leader, six from the ninth rank under the deputy team leader, six from the ninth rank under Yu Hou. In addition, there is also a record from the nine products, a soldier Cao Zuo, four Shi, one Cangdu, and two Shi. There are all kinds of military positions, and there are as many as forty-five military positions in Shamen Town.
Even if Li Jing was promoted from the original Shamen Fortress to ten officers and officers, there would still be more than 30 positions.
Song Wen had already promised himself that for the officers in Shamen Town, he could draw up a list and submit it to him for approval of transfer. It is said that a husband cannot be without power for a day, and now Li Jing can be regarded as a 'power' in his hands. But when I really wanted to give the order, I also felt a headache. Only now has he thought of a few more important positions. For example, he planned to make Lin Wei the deputy general of the town, let Wang Chong be the general Yu Hou, and let Zhang Hong be the counselor of Bing Cao.
After thinking about it for a long time, my head was still confused. At this time, seeing that everyone was a little anxious, he smiled and said: "It's indeed a good thing, Feng Yanqing's block matter has been completely over." The tutor had already agreed to accept Song Jieshuai's invitation yesterday, and would soon go to Qingzhou to take over the post of Sima of the Jiedu Marching Army and deputy envoy of Yingtian. After the family teacher leaves, Song Wen will take over the history of Dengzhou Thorn, which is something they have already discussed. Originally, the family teacher wanted to take me to Qingzhou with me, but I couldn't give up my brothers, so I proposed to stay. ”
"Song Wen is looking for me today, and it is precisely because of this. Song Wengang offered me a position, and I have already accepted. And not only did I accept it myself, but I also offered him to transfer you all with me. ”
Wang Chong, Lin Wu and the others were a little surprised, but Lin Wei's expression did not move, and he muttered: "What is the position?" ”
"The town general of Shamen Town!"
"Where is Salmon? I've only heard that there is a Salmon Island in the Da Xie Islands, and above it is the Sha Mushu under the Da Xie Islands. You can't be talking about this place, it's the territory of the border army. Lin Wei's face moved, and he reminded with some concern.
For example, today, in general, there are two kinds of soldiers and horses, one is the Shence army of the imperial court, and the other is the feudal town soldiers. However, there are also several kinds of feudal soldiers, the first of which is the government army stationed in the state capital where the shogunate is located, and it is generally the strongest soldiers and horses under the feudal town, and the soldiers are well-armed. In addition to the yabing, then there is the border town army, also known as the garrison. Including the foreign army, garrison, town, garrison, fort, battalion, fence, beacon shop, etc. outside the garrison of the Jiemarshal's Mansion all belong to the garrison. Then there is a third type of state soldiers, such as the state soldiers under Han Zhong, the prison envoy of Dengzhou City, who belong directly to the history of assassination. The fourth category of soldiers in feudal towns is county and town soldiers, and county and town soldiers are military and town garrisons. For example, Chishan Town is a county and town soldier, but they do not belong to the county order, the county order cannot command the army, and the county and town soldiers are not subordinate to the county government, and they are all in the hands of the assassin history, but in fact, the town soldiers of each county and town have long been served by the cronies of the Jiedu envoy, or they are simply small feudal towns.
Tooth soldiers, border town soldiers, branch soldiers, county soldiers, these are the four types of soldiers and horses under the domain town, in addition to these four, some of the domain town soldiers are arrogant, and the festival envoy will also form a personal army to fight against the tooth soldiers. In addition, local people are sometimes called in for training and formation of solidarity soldiers.
Today's Ziqing Town, with a total of nearly 60,000 soldiers and horses, of which 37,500 are tooth soldiers, garrison soldiers, branch state soldiers, county and town soldiers, and 18,000 unity soldiers, as well as 3,000 Jiedu personal soldiers. Among the six categories of soldiers and horses in Ziqing Town, the tooth soldiers stationed in Qingzhou and nearby are the most arrogant, and the pro-soldiers are the most sophisticated and well-treated.
Really speaking, in addition to the unity soldiers who are not yet official soldiers, the most bitter, tiring and unwilling of all the soldiers and horses is the soldiers. The garrisons were stationed at the borders, often in remote places where no one was around. A few years ago, Pang Xun's rebellion was simply because the Xuzhou soldiers stationed in Guilin were postponed several times in a row, and those who were forced to rebel were forced all the way back to Xuzhou, sweeping half of the southeast.
The garrison has the worst equipment, the least rations, the most difficult conditions, and the longest military period. Therefore, when Lin Wei heard Li Jing say that his new position was in Shamen and the army, he couldn't help but change color.
"Shamen Town is the original Shamen Town, but now it has been upgraded to Shamen Town, and the number of 300 soldiers belongs to the middle town. The Marquis of Song Du Yu has promised me that in addition to the original 50 people of Shamen, the remaining 250 people can be recruited by us, and he also promised me that all the officers in Shamen Town can be drawn up by us. I've told him all of you, brothers, we're going to have our own territory soon. ”
"You mean, although you have been appointed as the commander of Shamen Town, there are only fifty people under your command now?" Lin Wei continued to ask.
"The Marquis of Song also promised me to pull out the hundred brothers of Zuo Yidu to me, but only if they voluntarily followed. But you don't have to worry about that, I still have some money in my hand, and as long as we give some money to the brothers who volunteered to go there to pay for their settlements, and declare that they will be paid every month in the future, they will definitely be willing to go. "These are all things that Li Jing thought about along the way, although it was said that the garrison was too hard, and the people were not willing to do it. But after the famine this year, it is now the time of famine, and the 10,000 horses of silk in his hand have not yet been used up, as long as he is willing to take out some of them as settlement expenses, and also explain that there will be monthly food and salary in the future, the united soldiers of Zuo Yidu will definitely be willing to go with him.
"I plan to ask Brother Lin to serve as the deputy general of Qipin Town, Brother Wang to serve as the general Yu Hou on the seventh grade, Zhang Yuhou to serve as the counselor of Bing Cao under the ninth grade, Shamen Town has jurisdiction over 300 people, and I plan to serve as the head of the left general, the second brother Lin will serve as the head of the left second, and the third brother Wang will serve as the head of the left third general, and Brother Lin will also serve as the coach. How about we discuss other positions later? ”
Lin Wei was still a little hesitant, he persuaded Li Jing: "You have to think about this, once you agree to this, you will have to stay for at least six years when you go to Salmon Island." I still think that although the Shamen Town general is stronger than the current United Army general, it is still necessary to be cautious. In order to get promoted, it is not very cost-effective to run to the army. ”
Li Jing shook his head and said to a few people: "Brother Lin is thinking about me wrong, I'm not here for promotion." If I want to be promoted, wouldn't it be better for me to follow my tutor to Qingzhou, even if I stay by the side of Song Du Yuhou, with the current relationship between the tutor and Song Du Yuhou, it is better than going to Shamen Island. But a few brothers have not, the world is becoming more and more chaotic day by day, in the Fang Jinshi realm, I think only having your own piece of land is the most real. When I went to Salmon Island, I didn't want an official position, but I valued Salmon Island as a territory that we could manage. With this territory, and a few more of our brothers, isn't there a lot to be done in this time of turmoil? ”
Lin Wei, Lin Wu, Wang Chong, and Zhang Hong were all a little surprised by Li Jing's words, and after the surprise, they were deeply shocked. Before them, no one thought that Li Jing would think so far and deeply. Several people were thoughtful, and after a long time, Lin Wei was the first to reach out and hold Li Jing's palm, and said with a solemn expression: "Okay, count my brother one." ”
"Count me in."
"Count me."
"Count me in!"
