It was light rain in the sky, even in the south, it was still chilly when it rained during this season.
The flat ground outside the southwest gate was repeatedly trampled into mud by a large group of people. Those who were queuing up in the mud were Hou Mao's people. The people from Dasheng Village moved to Shimen County one after another, and the recruits composed of No. 150 young and strong were selected from them, and the team was training the queue.
The city has dense houses and cannot find relatively large open spaces; most of the places outside the city are hilly land with uneven heights, and flat lands within a radius of one mile are not easy to find. However, the terrain outside the southwest gate is flat, which becomes the military schoolyard.
There is a straw shed next to the school ground, just like a tea stall on the roadside; of course it is not a tea stall, and there is no business in the tea stall in this weather.There were two people sitting in the straw shed, one was Hou Mao and the other was Zhang Chengzong.
Hou Mao, who was originally the leader of the cult branch, changed his mind to accept his new identity: the official of the 100 households of the second brigade of the left scepter of Yongding Camp.
Zhang Chengzong was transferred from the First Brigade to serve as deputy 100 households. After he stepped down, the chief banner officer was replaced by a team named Huang Yong.
Although Zhang Chengzong was the deputy, he was basically in charge of training the new army, so he could use the Fengxia Mountain military discipline training on the new army.
Zhang Ning chose Chengzong to be responsible for this matter, mainly because he was considerate of his steady understanding of his body and literacy.
Chengzong lived up to his expectations and first selected a group of low-level officers in the new army to teach them a queue, and then let the general flag teams train their soldiers separately.
There is actually not much content in queue training, it is nothing more than regular content such as standing attentively, looking to the right, walking in a straight line, and walking in a straight line.
But Zhang Chengzong found that it was not easy to train these people. The gang of mobs that came out of Dasheng Village were far inferior to those of the warriors in the first brigade.
The team of the First Brigade used to be the armed forces of Fengxia Mountain. They all practiced swords, guns, sticks, and practiced martial arts all year round, so they could have been pulled up to fight.
Most of the people from Dasheng Village were from farmers and were used to pretend to be a ghost and deceive the common people. Some of them had some skills in fighting with Hou Mao, but they also lacked the awareness of military discipline.
Moreover, the villagers in the hilly and mountainous areas in the south are generally scattered and their organization is actually a little worse.
So the current scene appeared, with the shouts and whips on the school grounds endlessly. The new low-level officers were very difficult. They were originally rough people, so they were inevitably beaten and scolded.
Some of the new soldiers scratched their heads and ears in line, some walked in step and couldn't tell the left and right, some did not understand that the upper and lower levels of the army absolutely obeyed the rules, and those who scolded the officers, in short, had to be trained for a long time.
But overall, it's pretty good. Everyone knows that if they don't get armed, they can only be persecuted by the government; and the clothes, weapons and rations are all paid, and there are military pay. New recruits only have five cents of silver monthly pay, but it's also a good treatment to have a net income.
Hou Mao looked at Xiaoyu outside and saw that the ground was full of mud, and couldn't help but say: This day is not good, why don't you practice today?
Zhang Chengzong said calmly: What is this little rain? When we were training in Fengxia Mountain, we were practicing marching. Each of us carried fifty kilograms of things on our body and walked twenty miles on the mountain road in the heavy rain.
After hearing this, Hou Mao forced a smile and had to echo: I'm good at it, you have to decide on the training of soldiers.
After a while, Zhang Chengzong patted the county annals in his hand and said: It turns out that Shimen County has been known as the mining capital since the Song Dynasty, and its minerals are very complete. If I hadn't heard Wang Dianshi in the county government today, I would have noticed this.
Hou Mao said: There is no shortage of salt and iron ore in Shimen County. Most of the salt and iron in Changde Prefecture are transported here.
Could it be that Your Highness had known for a long time... Zhang Chengzong said thoughtfully, and pondered for a moment and said to Hou Mao, mainly because of sulfur ore.Our weapons advantage is mainly firearms. It is troublesome to make gunpowder without anything, but it is not a problem to come to Shimen County.
After hearing this, Hou Mao asked: He reported that the troops of Jiuxi Guard were dispatched north, but His Highness still ordered your first brigade to prepare to attack Cili County westward. Would he not be afraid that the troops of Jiuxi Guard would come to our Shimen County?At that time, the first brigade who can fight will go to siege the city. How can such people on the school field resist it?
Everyone is a little worried about this.Zhang Chengzong said, but after Wei Baihu said that His Highness judged that Jiuxiwei's troops were going to Lizhou and would not endanger Shimen County for the time being.
Hou Mao asked in a low voice: Why is Your Highness so sure?According to common sense, if we have captured the city, the officers and soldiers should be dispatched to recover the lost land, but we have to go around Lizhou?
Zhang Chengzong whispered: Brother Hou deserves to hear that His Highness had served as an official in a pseudo-dynasty before and had a good understanding of the officialdom.He believes that the situation is quite complicated now. If the officers and soldiers want to deal with us, they will probably pass through the Ministry of War first; however, Lizhou is a special place, and the Huayang Palace is a must-have place for officials to save.So a while ago, His Highness ordered the requisition of ships around the east of the Lishui River to attack Lizhou... The Jiuxiwei was dispatched quickly and his Highness thought he was going to Lizhou.
So that's the reason.Hou Mao nodded slightly, but it seemed like he was a little risky.
At this moment, a sedan chair was around the schoolyard and approached the straw shed. An old man in a green robe walked down from the sedan chair. The person Hou Mao and Zhang Chengzong looked at was Wang Dianshi from the county government.
Wang Dianshi walked into the straw hut and was busy bowing deeply, with a very respectful attitude.
These officials are usually very fierce to cult parties like Hou Mao, but at this moment they look pleased.
Hou Mao was not very interested in Wang Dianshi, so he sat down and looked arrogant, but he didn't say anything bad in his words.
Zhang Chengzong stood up and returned the gift: Wang Dianshi came over in a hurry, what's wrong?
That's the case... Wang Dianshi took a pleasing look at Hou Mao who didn't speak.
Lord Zhang ordered the officials of our county government to do business, such as iron and sulfur, and to build weapons and paper armor. It requires a lot of manpower to do business, and many mines are official. After you come, the strong men will escape a lot and need to supplement their labor.Let’s make a plan to recruit students from all over the country to serve.The county has a population of more than 4,500 households, including more than 1,200 households (preparatory households). We plan to draw one in every five households, and we need craftsmen and strong men, so that we can get more than 900 people.The way to draw one in five households is already very light, but unexpectedly, it has not made much progress after a few days, so it would be useless to send an official to the public.Just like the Shuangxi, there are hundreds of households, but there is no one in it.We had no choice but to report to Lord Zhang. Later, Lord Xu (Old Xu) asked me to come to Hou Baihu and Zhang Baihu, saying that you would try to do it.
Seeing that the two of them were puzzled, Wang Dianshi quickly bowed: I had to trouble the two sirs.
Hou Mao finally spoke: Are we not the soldiers?Why do you let us take care of this?... Your Highness means sending troops to suppress?
Zhang Chengzong pondered for a moment and said: I'm afraid that's the case.
I am not very helpful if Zhang Baihu wants to train sergeants here. I will do this kind of thing, and it will not be difficult for me.Hou Mao said readily.
Zhang Chengzong nodded and reminded: As soon as His Highness entered the county town, he ordered the generals to restrain his subordinates. We should understand his intention of not willing to commit tyranny.The subordinates dared to make suggestions to the 100 households, try to appease the people and avoid massacre.
I have my own sense of responsibility.Hou Mao said something and left the straw shed.
He ordered two teams of people on the school ground and asked them to take long and short weapons and take them out of the city to do business.
Also accompanying Wang Dianshi, a clerk and five or six yamen runners.
Wang Dianshi's sedan chair was no longer able to sit, and it was raining and the road was rugged and it was hard to ride, so everyone walked to Shuangxi.
After walking for more than ten miles, the yamen runners went to inform the official.
When Hou Mao and his team arrived at Shuangxili, they met Li Zheng and the people who came to greet him at the entrance of a village.
When farmers nearby saw officials, yamen runners and soldiers coming, some of them stood from afar and watched.
I saw that there was a middle-aged man there, regardless of the wet mud on the road, and immediately knelt on the road to greet him.
Seeing that he had a good attitude, Wang Dianshi stood up and scolded: The yamen clearly issued a government order to draw one of the five households in Shuangxili to the county, why didn’t he see a single person for three days?
Li Zhengdao: Sir, I have notified the villagers everywhere, but I don’t want to come, so I have no choice but to do anything!
Hou Mao raised his hand to stop Wang Dianshi and said: The people are determined not to disobey the government privately, and this matter is probably your problem.
Li Zheng hurriedly said: Even if you lent me a hundred courage, I dare not instigate the people to disobey the government!It was because the people heard that the county town was destroyed and the owner had changed, so they were reluctant to go to the labor service.
You are dereliction of duty and ineffective in your work!Wang Dianshi cursed.
Hou Mao said calmly: Get up and invite someone from the hometown who has a high reputation in Shuangxi.
Yes, I'll invite you now.The adults came to my house to have a tea and take a break.The right way.
Everyone followed Liming into the village. Hou Mao and others sat down in the main hall and waited, Liming was rushing into the village and called someone to go.
After a long time, he saw him walking out with an old man holding a painted crutch and a few young and strong men.
The old man approached and acted as he wanted to kneel down, and the younger generations hurriedly helped him slowly.Hou Mao strode forward, held the old man with a hand, and said kindly: Forget it, there is no need to perform this great gift.Dare you ask about your father-in-law’s name?
The old man also answered the question in a relatively cooperative manner.Hou Mao nodded: Now you are the Lizheng in Shuangxi.
This... the old man was a little surprised.The original Limasaki also raised his head in surprise, but he didn't speak either.
At this time, Hou Mao turned his head and said: This is the instigation of the villagers to fight against the government and committing a serious crime of treason, and the crime is unforgivable!I feel that the above-mentioned policy of loving the people, and I will forgive his family's lives for the time being.The person who came dragged him out and cut him off, and his family was confiscated!
Sir, please spare your life!The villain wrongly accused Ah!
Li Zheng's face turned pale and he fell to the ground.
Soon a few soldiers rushed up, pressed them to the ground, tied his limbs with a rope, and dragged them to the door without saying a word.
The flat ground outside the southwest gate was repeatedly trampled into mud by a large group of people. Those who were queuing up in the mud were Hou Mao's people.
