Sun Tu didn't care too much about Huang Wenbing's reaction. In his opinion, this was just a natural result. Huang Wenbing is indeed capable and loyal to himself. In addition, no one in Qingzhou City can hold this position better except him. Who else can he choose if he doesn't let him serve as the prefect?

Seeing this, the others laughed and expressed their congratulations to Huang Wenbing. After a while of trouble, Sun Tucai said again: "Governance and return to the civil affairs of the Prefecture are one aspect. What is more important for us to strengthen the army. This is my equal."

This immediately won the unanimous agreement of everyone present. Everyone knows that today's Qingzhou Army is strong enough, and if you want to continue to ensure your own safety and interests, making the Qingzhou Army stronger has become the key.

Seeing this, Sun Tu smiled satisfied: "So I plan to expand the army and recruit soldiers again. Although we have captured nearly a thousand three-mountain prisoners this time, it is hard to say whether they can use it. At least before confirming that they are united with us, we cannot completely regard them as comrades. After several battles, the casualties of our Qingzhou army have been quite serious. Now we should think about continuing to recruit young and strong men from the people to join the army. This matter must be left to you."

"Don't worry, our Qingzhou army is not only famous in Qingzhou, but also in the entire Shandong. Everyone admires it. As long as we spread the meaning of recruiting soldiers, we dare not say that there are too many, and three or five thousand people can always be recruited as soon as possible." Qi Desheng replied immediately.

Others also agreed: "Yes, in fact, there are many young and strong people in the city recently asking around if they have the chance to join our Qingzhou Army. If they have the chance this time, they will definitely not miss it."

"Of course it would be better. However, my requirements for Qingzhou soldiers will not decrease due to the increase in the number of people. The point is to absolutely obey military orders, and then be willing to endure hardships and be able to practice. As for the origin, you can put it aside first. I hope you can all implement the principle of "not being insignificant than being incompetent." Sun Tu put forward his own request: "I hope to get the recruitment matters done before the New Year and then practice slowly. In this way, by next autumn and winter, our Qingzhou army will become stronger."

Now Sun Tu no longer intends to do everything himself. After entrusting his intentions and general direction, he handed over such civil and military affairs to Huang Wenbing, Qi Desheng and others. As for him, he has more important things to do.

After everyone dispersed, he specifically called Huang Wenbing: "There is another thing that you need to do as a temporary prefect, that is, to send a letter to several prefectural officials in Shandong so that they can form an alliance with our Qingzhou."

"Hmm? What does this mean?" Huang Wenbing said in confusion. Everyone is a court official, so how can the alliance be said? If you really want to talk about the alliance, isn't there any transfer yamen from Jingji East Road above to command everything?

"This time, my Qingzhou bandit suppression attracted the Liangshanpo bandits in Jeju Prefecture. If they hadn't come a little late and our army had just captured Erlong Mountain, I'm afraid the battle situation would have had more twists and turns. This time it was luck, what about the future? I must not let such an accident regenerate. This requires the joint efforts of the government troops of the prefectures in Shandong."

Sun Tu said with a serious expression: "What you have to do this time is to make this clear

Let the officials around the state government know the harm of the thieves' union to them. Now even the thieves who occupy the mountain and become king can unite with each other, but our imperial army is still on their own. That is too unreasonable. This matter must be reached as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be difficult to say."

Huang Wenbing then realized that Sun Tu had such painstaking efforts, so he clasped his fists and responded, and then said with some concern: "Dujian, aren't you afraid of the court's suspicion when you do this? After all, the killing of Murong Yan has just been resolved."

"It is related to the stability of the entire Qingzhou and Shandong, so I don't care about these trivial matters." Sun Tu smiled and said, "Just do it, I believe that there will always be people who understand the truth that can understand me!"

Only after he ordered all the civil and military affairs, Sun Tu completely relaxed. Next, he planned to accompany Ya'er and prepare everything for his two weddings. Although there was no need to be as complicated as many people when they got married at this time, there were still many festive scenes that should have been missing.

After experiencing the surprise of being proposed by Sun Tu in public, Ya'er seemed particularly embarrassed when she got along with Sun Tu. She always blushed and even her voice was lighter than before. However, there was a deep joy and expectation between the corners of her eyebrows and eyes. Although she had not really said it, she was eager to come sooner that day.

For the remaining days in November, Sun Tu has been by Ya'er, watching the sky and snow in her house with her, and saying love words that can make the little girl feel more shy, and everything seems particularly relaxed...

In sharp contrast to Sun Tu's relaxation, others are still busy with their own chores, especially in the military camps. Nowadays, hundreds of people come to apply for the enlistment every day. In addition to Qingzhou, many of them came from nearby prefectures.

In fact, under the guidance of the great Song Dynasty's thoughts of the nobles and nobles and military officials, the people were quite resistant to joining the army, and there was also a saying that good men were not in the army. Only those who committed crimes and were ungrateful and could not survive after being disasters would have no choice but to enter the military camp.

It is difficult to have a chance to make a comeback after entering the military camp, and they may even become a superior coolie and cannot even obtain basic living security. This has become a common understanding among the people today. However, Sun Tu's emergence and the various changes implemented in the Qingzhou army completely broke this prejudice.

As long as you enter the Qingzhou Army, the money, food, money, and money will not be owed. Even the money, which was owed before, will be paid back in amounts. As long as you are willing to work hard, the army will also give rewards according to performance. These benefits alone are enough to make ordinary people who have lived a hard life yearn for it.

Not to mention that Sun Tu led his troops to sweep away three thieves in Qingzhou. While eliminating the harm to the people, he also completely created the name of the Qingzhou army. Many people in Shandong have seen it as a heroic team. There are many heroes in Shandong. Now that everyone has the opportunity to join such a heroic army, everyone is naturally moved. Even if they are not natives in Qingzhou, as long as they get the news, many people will work hard to go to Qingzhou City to apply for the conquest.

So a scene that broke everyone's understanding appeared in Qingzhou City. When the wing troops in other prefectures were only retained less than 50%, the Qingzhou army's conscripts had already passed the imperial court.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The rated number was fixed after halfway through the twelfth lunar month, which was a total of 700 more than the number of soldiers in the wings stipulated by the imperial court.

Such remarkable results naturally made Sun Tu and the others very excited, but at the same time, the price paid was quite considerable. After the family was destroyed, Sun Tu obtained a lot of money, and then pacified three parcels and seized more benefits. In addition to distributing meritorious soldiers and pensions for casualties, there was still a surplus of tens of thousands of yuan in the military warehouse. Everyone originally thought that they could use it for one or two years.

But as a result, after such a large number of new recruits were recruited into the camp, the army's consumption suddenly increased a lot. Especially the food that was already short of money, it was even more difficult to get it. Huang Wenbing could only buy food from the surrounding prefectures through various channels, and even began to turn his mind to other ways.

Seeing this, Sun Tu was not vague and immediately took out all the 3,000 taels of gold he had obtained and handed it over to the army. It was only after the other brothers' persuasion that he took back the 300 taels of gold for the purpose of the wedding at the beginning of next year.

Once this incident was reported, Sun Tu's position in the Qingzhou army was once again improved, and everyone admired Sun Dujian from the bottom of their hearts. You should know that other generals of the army often try to get benefits from the army, deduct military rations, eat empty quotas, etc. just to satisfy their greed. But Sun Dujian is completely opposite to them. Not only does he not make profits from the army, but he continues to invest money in it. Such a general is unpopular. Who else can get the support of officers and soldiers?

Of course, not everyone recognized Sun Tu. When Shandong people and the army respected him, some officials and generals from the prefectures had a lot of opinions about him, because Huang Wenbing's official letter had been sent to their desks.

"A little sixth-rank chief supervisor, a guy who is still not an official, but has just been temporarily appointed as the prefect due to changes, dares to give orders to me, and he also wants to command the government troops in the entire Shandong province? Who do they think they are? Who gives them the courage to have such arrogant ideas!"

This was almost the first reaction of all those who received the letter. However, they also knew that Sun Tu had a backer in the court, and even a high-ranking official like Liang Shicheng could not move him. Killing hundreds of Murong Yan and others was in vain, so they did not mean to be enemies with Sun Tu. They just complained a few times and threw these letters into the corner. Everyone has a similar status, even higher than Sun Tu. Who would be willing to obey his orders?

As for some people who are moved, they dare not go against the trend after they realize everyone's intentions. Unless there is an opportunity, Sun Tu's idea of ​​integrating Shandong official troops can only become a joke.

But the opportunity appeared at the last moment of the year and the end of the year. No one would have thought that when the government was in full swing in Lianping Sanshan in Qingzhou, there would be bandits and bandits who would openly take action.

On New Year's Eve, when the entire Song Dynasty was immersed in joy, an army suddenly came out of Liangshanpo and rushed towards Dulonggang, which was not far from them...

It's a new year... No, it's a new week, and the book has exceeded one million, so please vote for it...
