"Is it possible that my military talent has been exhausted so quickly?"

During the quick shift, Pang Yu rubbed his forehead, murmured, and then looked up at his subordinates opposite.

"Who among you knows the organization of the rogue bandits, their equipment, their personnel composition, and their tactics?"

He Xianya, Jiang Fan, Ruan Jin and others looked at each other, wondering why Pang Yu suddenly asked this question.

They usually hear a lot of news about rogue bandits, but they are all about trends or rumors, and there is no news about the rogue bandits themselves.

"I heard that there were many postmen and husbands among the bandits. That's why they are called roving bandits, because they have many horses, and they all run around on horseback."

Pang Yu praised Ruan Jin who was speaking, "Well, the news is good and the analysis is reasonable. You should pay more attention to it in the future."

Seeing that Jiang Fan was about to speak, He Xianya quickly said, "It is said that many of the bandits' officers and soldiers were surrendered, and they were armed with official-made weapons. They did not dare to fight with the imperial army, but when running, everyone has horses, which is better than the imperial army."

runs fast."

Pang Yu nodded again and took notes. The words prepared by Jiang Fan were similar to those of He Xianya. They both analyzed the words of the bandits and added some hearsay information.

Seeing that no one said anything, Pang Yu couldn't help but shook his head and sighed, "In the afternoon I went to the barracks to talk to Secretary Shen and asked if there was any information about rogue bandits in the barracks. He told me that he didn't know anything.

I'm wondering, since rogue bandits are the great enemy of the imperial court and Southern Zhili may be threatened by them, why don't the Ministry of War and the Yingtian Governor's Yamen compile and issue an analysis of the enemy's situation and a war defense manual?

We just tell all localities to be on guard, but we don’t send out any practical things, and we don’t allocate money to train troops, so we tell them how to defend themselves.”

After speaking, he threw the brush on the table and said, "There is no news about the rogue bandits in the barracks. We only know about the warning notice sent by Anqing Mansion in the spring.

I don't know where the bandits are now.

I don’t know anything about rogue bandits, so how can I train strong classes in a targeted manner?”

Pang Ding scratched his head and said, "Soldier training isn't all about training, why is it related to rogue bandits?"

"You know what the heck, if a mob like Huang Wending were given a whistle stick to each person in the strong squad, one hundred and ninety-two white stiles would be enough to defeat them.

The rogue bandits roaming the world must be more powerful than the rogues like Huang Wending. If I don't know their methods, the soldiers I have trained with so much effort may not be suitable."

Pang Yu covered his face and thought for a moment before putting down his hands, "From what you said, the bandits should be light cavalry, and running fast is the most important thing.

But there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of them, but they are not all cavalry. How can they have so many horses?

So what kind of soldiers do I train? I only have infantry?"

Pang Yu looked up at the few people, "Which of you knows how to match the light and heavy infantry..." Halfway through, Pang Yu saw the confused expressions on the faces of the few people, and stopped knowingly and said, "I'll tell you about the strong squad."

You can solve it yourself. In the future, the fast team will train a few horses. If there is news that rogue bandits are in Henan, send horses to Yingzhou and Lu'an Prefecture to investigate, or even enter Henan.

If it is said that rogue bandits are in Huguang, send your horse to investigate in the direction of Susong, Taihu Lake and Huangmei.

We have to rely on ourselves to collect as much information as possible about the bandits, and we cannot be ignorant of their movements like we are now."

Several of the subordinates exchanged glances with each other. This job was not a nice job, it was beyond the scope of an official job, so they all pretended to be stupid and said nothing, following Pang Yu's habit of beating snakes with a stick. If anyone accidentally picked up the conversation,

Maybe someone will be responsible for this job.

Pang Yu waited for a moment and saw that no one took the bait. Knowing that his subordinates had learned the lesson, he could only cough and continue, "Now let's talk about the fast class. The fast class has accepted the twenty-three people from the original strong class, plus new recruits.

The number of employees is fifty, and I won’t keep some of them. After the recruitment is complete, ordinary Kuaishou must eliminate four people every six months.

But the team leader will also give a way to survive. Kuaishou and helper can rotate with each other. If the helper does well, he will be promoted to Kuaishou. If he does not do well, he will be demoted to helper. If the helper does not do well, he will be asked to leave.

.

This is the case for everyone. If you can't do something assigned to you, let someone else do it until someone satisfies me."

Several people swallowed their saliva secretly. This squad leader always has various ways to force people to do things. Now that they have finally waited until they are officially appointed as squad leaders, they have not forgotten to put pressure on them first. It sounds like even if they become squad leaders, if they can't do it,

Fortunately, it can be replaced by him at any time.

And a few people did not dare to doubt that Pang Yu could do it, because now Yangzhi County fully supports Pang Yu, the county magistrate and Dianshi have a close relationship with Pang Yu, and Hufang Tang Weimin even wears a pair of trousers with him, which is absolutely the level of government officials.

authority.

"The official Kuaishou team currently has fifty people, divided into four teams. The first team is the arrest team, which follows the leader of the team. They stay in the Kuaishou room on weekdays and are responsible for guarding the county government office. The team leader Jiao Guozhao was appointed first.

The second team is the North City Team, which is responsible for patrolling the north of Xiangyangmen Street in the city and guarding Xiangyang Gate, Dongzuo Gate, North Arch Gate, and Yimin Gate. The captain of the second team..." Pang Yu paused briefly and caught a few fish.

With human appetite, several subordinates were waiting for the formal appointment and looked at Pang Yu attentively, not wanting to miss a single word.

"Ruan Jin made the first contribution to the arrest of Mr. Zheng. The leader of this team is true to his word and appointed Ruan Jin as the captain of the second team."

Ruan Jin let out a long sigh of relief. After working hard for these days, he finally got the expected captain position. He originally wanted to be calmer, but he couldn't hide his joy, and the corners of his mouth kept curling up.

Jiang Fan and He Xianya both stared at him with envy. At least he could rest assured, while the two still had to wait.

"The third team is the Nancheng Squad, which is responsible for patrolling and arresting criminals south of Xiangyangmen Street, as well as guarding the Nancheng Gate and West City Gate. The fourth team is the Ma Kuai Squad, which is responsible for patrolling and arresting criminals within the county, and also investigating the areas within the county.

News from outside."

After Pang Yu finished speaking and waited for a moment, he said, "Of the two teams, let's talk about the fourth team first. Is there anyone who is willing to nominate himself to lead the fourth team?"

There was a moment of silence in the field, and Pang Yu raised his eyes to observe the subordinates on the opposite side. Although the teams were nominally on the same level, they were actually different because of the different areas under their jurisdiction.

Among the remaining two teams, the most profitable is the Nancheng team. Although the Ma Kuai team cannot control the city, Ma Kuai's work, food and money are already high. Pang Yu made some balances, and added subsidies for business trips to arrest criminals. The income

It's also good, but overall it's not as good as Nancheng Team.

So Pang Yu didn't know what to do, so he first asked about the fourth team, and his target was also very clear.

Among those present here, Ruan Jin has already decided on the second team. Pang Ding is new here and is not capable enough to manage a team. The remaining two people are He Xianya and Ruan Jin. He Xianya has just been promoted from the gang, and Pang Yu has designated He Xianya as the second team.

Vice-captain, but there will be a vacancy for the corresponding captain, so he actually serves as the captain.

Ruan Jin and He Xianya were both silent. They understood what Pang Yu meant. In fact, they changed the word about the mission of finding out information about the bandits and tied them up with the Ma Kuai team. This also shows that Pang Yu really takes this matter seriously.

thing.

While the two were thinking, they kept looking at each other furtively.

But if he takes over the Ma Kuai team at this time, he will be voluntarily giving up the Chengnan team. The south gate is the most prosperous place in Tongcheng, and although Ma Kuai's salary is high, he has no other clear source of profit, and he still has to bear the responsibility.

The county's pursuit of criminals is both hard work and more dangerous. Of course, it is much worse in comparison. But judging from Pang Yu's attitude, he attaches great importance to Ma Kuai. If he manages Ma Kuai well, he can get huge rewards.

Rain has the greatest goodwill, which is another level of benefit.

He Xianya's eyes alternated between Pang Yu and Jiang Fan's faces. Both of them were racing in their minds, and it was indeed hard to make a choice for a while.

Pang Yu is also observing these two people. This is an opportunity to observe the personality traits of his subordinates. The difficulty of choosing one from two is sometimes more difficult than choosing from multiple.

Although Ruan Jin and Pang Ding had nothing to do with themselves, they looked at the two of them in a lively mood, relaxed and amused.

"If no one takes the initiative to volunteer, then we will keep the Ma Kuai team for the time being and decide on the captain of the Chengnan team first. Is there anyone who offers to be the captain of the Chengnan team?"

As soon as Pang Yu finished speaking, Jiang Fan and He Xianya were stunned again. Just now, no one went to the Ma Kuai team. Now it is the turn of the Chengnan team to fill the gap. If they take the initiative to ask for a job, it would be too snobbish. Pang Yu will probably not give it.

If you don't fight, you are afraid that the other party will.

He Xianya was extremely nervous in the silence, his mouth was dry and he gasped for breath, and his hands kept shaking.

Before he could make a decision, Jiang Fan suddenly stood up. He Xianya trembled all over and wanted to speak first, but Pang Yu had already waved her hand to him, "Jiang Fan gets up first, let him finish his words before you speak."

After saying that, Pang Yu stared closely at Jiang Fan. He Xianya was a step late and lost the initiative. He felt regretful in his heart. He knew that the position of captain of the Chengnan team had been taken away.

Jiang Fan bowed to Pang Yu, looked at Pang Yu and said calmly, "I have volunteered myself to be the captain of the Ma Kuai team. I hope that the team leader will support me."

He Xianya raised his head in astonishment, and Jiang Fan had a firm and calm expression on his profile.

..."Jiang Fan, stay here for a while."

When He Xianya, Ruan Jin, and Pang Ding exited the room, Pang Yu took out some shredded tobacco and separated some, and he and Jiang Fan each lit up the smoke.

"What do you think about this Ma Kuai team?"

Jiang Fan said respectfully, "My subordinates are thinking that a horse can come and go as fast as the wind. Whether it is arresting people or making inquiries, this is a place where foot speed can never be matched.

It may be more convenient to go fast in the city, but once you leave the city, you can't live without a horse.

If you can raise three fast horses by raising one, you can see the importance of fast horses. My subordinates will try their best to help you manage the fast horses."

Pang Yu nodded, "You're right to think so. Horse speed is the cavalry on the battlefield. You can reach the county boundaries by horseback in one day. You can't do it with foot speed. No matter whether you are catching people or delivering messages, you can't reach it in one day."

You can only rely on the speed of your horse.

But Ma Kuai is not just in charge of the arrests outside the city, if there are not enough people in the arrest team, Ma Kuai will also participate."

Jiang Fan did not shirk, "There used to be ten horse riders, but after the civil unrest, your Excellency created a few vacancies. Now there are only four available."

"Go and recruit twelve people, along with six helpers. Anyone who can ride a horse will be fine. Bring the ones you choose and bring them to me to help you take a look.

You can now think about which type of people are suitable to recruit from?"

"My subordinates think that the first thing to do quickly is to ride a horse. Those who have worked as postmen and delivery men are more suitable. Groommen from various wealthy families are also suitable. These people can ride horses and raise horses.

When selecting, follow the same method as adults selecting young men."

Pang Yu said with a smile, "People like postmen and horsemen are indeed suitable for horse racing, but you can't choose them like I did. Postmen, horsemen and horsemen are all people who work in the market for a living, and they travel all over the country and are well-informed.

If Qi is not under the green skin of a businessman, it is difficult to select a strong man according to the standards.

You just need to choose based on the standard of walking speed, which will give you the ability to ride a horse."

Jiang Fan agreed, "I remember, my subordinates, but Bu Kuai's industrial silver has increased from 6 taels to 12 taels. Ma Kuai's industrial silver used to be 16 taels or 8 taels. Will it also increase?"

What Pang Yu heard from Jiang Fan's words was that he wanted to double Ma Kuai's salary, food and money, but since he was the captain of Ma Kuai, he should strive for the interests of his subordinates.
