Chapter 144 The dust has settled
In the city of Quanzhou, General Zhang Hansi has been having a headache recently. Chen Hongjin is doing well in Zhangzhou and is enjoying recruiting troops. His troops have already far surpassed his own. But he is right under the nose of the King of Jinjiang and dare not do anything.
Besides, he doesn’t have that much money, so the gap is getting wider and wider. It is said that Chen Hongjin has over 10,000 men with armor and over 20,000 elite men, but he can command less than 20,000 men in total. There is a gap in strength.
It's becoming more and more obvious.
Quanzhou garrison Deng Mao also had thousands of elite men under his command, who were nominally his subordinates, but they only listened to the orders of the King of Jinjiang. He had also made several overtures, but they were ignored by him. If he could win over this person, he Zhang Hansi
Not necessarily without the strength to fight.
"General, you have to make the decision for me." Zhang Hansi's favorite concubine, Mrs. Yu, came in crying with the support of her maid. Her only brother left without any reason. From then on, she stayed at her parents' house.
Over there, there was no one to rely on anymore. He had put a lot of effort into getting his brother to take the position of regimental trainer, but now it was all gone.
"Trash, they are all trash." Zhang Hansi was furious. Although he was the deputy commander of the army, the position of regiment commander in this county was not randomly appointed. In order to get Yu Cang to come up, he himself
Having lost a lot of his hands and feet, I hope he can recruit more people in Dehua County to prepare for any eventuality.
Although Dehua County is a small county, because it is close to Jianzhou, it has no less than 3,000 permanent troops. If it is operated properly, it is easy to get 5,000 combat troops. This Yu Cang is his brother-in-law, so he is reliable.
Besides, he still has a certain amount of brute strength, so of course he has to rely on it. Who knew that this cowardly guy would wear armor and chase beautiful women on the water in the middle of winter? This was seen by everyone with their own eyes, so he could still fake it?
"General, even if he is a waste, he is still my brother. He can't just die inexplicably." Yu Shi refused to let go. How could such a coincidence happen that a beautiful woman suddenly appeared and her brother chased her?
, and lost his life.
"Let's stop this matter. I have sent people to investigate secretly, but there are no hands or feet. The body has also been re-examined, and it is indeed drowned. What else do you want? As for the beautiful woman, she may have come from Jianzhou.
It comes along the river, how can we check it?" Zhang Hansi was also at a loss. If this matter continues, it might reach the ears of the prince. He can't escape his sin of being nepotistic and not checking the people he employs, and that kid is better than himself.
He looked ugly and even attacked the wives of his subordinates. This was all reported by his own people.
"If you make trouble again, go back to your parents' house for a few days and reflect on it." Zhang Hansi was annoyed, and when he saw Mr. Yu crying non-stop, he would naturally get angry.
Yu stopped immediately
I had no choice but to cry. I had no support outside. If I lost favor again in this mansion, how would I live in the future? I could only wipe my tears and go back with the help of the maid.
Sun Yu was taking a nap in the governor's office. Yesterday was the Lantern Festival. Jianpu City held a lantern festival to entertain the people. Jianpu City has not been so lively for several years. People from all over the country came. Sun Yu took Juyao to play until very late.
Just went back.
Today was the first day the Yamen opened, and the chief official always had to be present. Sun Yu had to rush to the Yamen very early in the morning, and gave all the officials and minor officials a start-up red envelope, which was all prepared by Ju Yao.
"Sir, I have something to report for my humble duty." Yang Qifeng had almost taken care of the affairs in Dehua County, so he naturally had to come back and report to Sun Yu. The main reason was that too much money had been spent and more money had to be spent.
"Captain Yang, sit down, what are you doing?" Sun Yu yawned, sat up from the reclining chair, and signaled his soldiers to make tea for Yang Qifeng. Now the soldiers' camp has been set up, led by a vicious dog, but this vicious dog has been very stubborn recently.
Those who love to learn always go to the recruit camp. Sun Yu is happy to hear this and doesn't care about him. Anyway, Jianpu City is very safe.
Yang Qifeng immediately reported everything to Sun Yu about what happened in Dehua County, including the gold given to Zhou Bin.
"Well done, Lieutenant Yang. If we take Dehua County, you will be the first to win." Sun Yu stood up excitedly and patted Yang Qifeng on the shoulder. This is a big deal. Peng Liang is now the captain, and his subordinates control
With a quarter of the soldiers in Dehua County, if they are well prepared, taking Dehua County will be a sure thing.
Sun Yu stood on the map and looked carefully. Once Dehua County is captured, it will only be 150 miles away from Quanzhou City. The only obstacle in the middle is Yongchun County. Yongchun County is very close to Quanzhou and is not on the border. There are not many troops stationed there.
Compared with Dehua County, it is much easier to fight.
"Sir, um, hey!" Yang Qifeng placed the two fingers of his right hand on the palm of his left hand and rubbed them together, asking with an embarrassed look. Why does this adult keep staring at the map? He is still waiting for money, so much every day
Brothers are outside, and it costs money to eat, drink, and have sex. However, the special camp has recently added some more manpower, and the cost is really high. Yang Qifeng was quite embarrassed, so he waited for Sun Yu to ask first.
"Well, you go to Lord Sima. If you do this well, you will be rewarded five hundred taels of silver." Sun Yu saw that this gesture seemed familiar. It seemed to be Zhang Daqiu's usual method. If Zhang Daqiu knew about it, he would definitely accuse him.
, he learned it from Sun Yu.
"Sir, the funds are not enough. We have spent too much recently. Lord Sima asked you to approve it." Yang Qifeng was naturally happy after receiving the reward, but the funding issue still had to be settled. This is the big deal, and everyone under his command is waiting for it.
.
"Have you filled out the application form? Bring it to me." Sun Yu was stunned. The rule of Jianzhou is that funds are allocated once a month. Xu Yi usually pays it directly. Only the military pay of the Jianzhou Army is a must.
Went from Sun Yu's side.
"Here you go, take a look, sir." Yang Qifeng took out the application form from his arms and handed it to Sun Yu. He had filled out this form many times and was very familiar with it.
Sun Yu took it over and saw that there were actually as many as four thousand taels. There were less than 300 people in this special battalion, and each person counted more than ten taels. No wonder Xu Yi did not dare to approve.
"Is it enough?" Sun Yu took out the big seal and was about to put it on, thinking that the special battalion had made a lot of contributions this time, so this small amount of money was normal.
"It's barely enough. I still want to send more people to Yongchun County to explore the road, but the expenses are a bit high." Being away from home requires money for daily expenses, not to mention activities, developing informants, and gathering information.
Just like what happened with Peng Liang, if the informant hadn't revealed it to him, where would he have found such an opportunity?
"Fill out a new form and I'll give you five thousand taels. In addition, you can send a few capable people to Jiangling Mansion and Langzhou to find out the information. As for their identities, they are from Jianzhou Trading Company. Let the trading company prepare some for you later.
Let the men and goods go there together." Since Sun Yu knew that the Northern Song Dynasty was going to attack Jingchu, he would not be sorry for his memory if he didn't add some obstruction.
"Thank you, sir. I'll make arrangements as soon as I take this humble position." Yang Qifeng was overjoyed and quickly took out a piece of white paper and started writing. It's easy to do things with money.
Sun Yu saw Yang Qifeng running excitedly to find Xu Yi, and couldn't help but nodded. The special battalion led by Yang Qifeng had completely exceeded his expectations and made great achievements repeatedly. Sun Yu only planned to give them independent placement at the beginning.
He asked them to do some things for them. Unexpectedly, he unintentionally inserted Liuliu into the shadow, and now he has become an indispensable force under his command.
In late March 962 AD, Jianpu City was officially completed. Except for the lack of city walls, it had everything else in place. The roads were wide enough for four carriages to run parallel to each other. There were public toilets every other mile on the street, and special personnel were arranged to clean them. In the initial planning, you can
It accommodates 5,000 households. Because there are no city walls, it can be expanded at any time. The land around Jianpu City is owned by the government, and farmers can only rent it and cannot buy or sell it.
"Sir, has the house been sold?" The weather is getting warmer, and Sun Yu has nothing to do. He likes to walk on the street, watching Jianpu City become more lively day by day, just like watching his own children grow up day by day.
"There's still a little left, not much left, don't worry, we can always sell it." When there are more people, the demand will be greater. Besides, this house can also be rented out. The population of Jianpu City is obviously increasing, so there is no need to worry.
Chapter completed!
