It rained again last night, which made the autumn atmosphere seem more intense.
As the saying goes, every autumn rain and every cold brings more clothes. In Qingyang Mansion, there are not many people who are qualified to wear more clothes, especially this autumn in Shaanxi, which is more invasive than in previous years.
The chill that the wind brings to people's bodies can penetrate right into their bones.
Such weather is definitely not good weather for fighting. At least, the imperial army will never use weapons in such a season unless necessary.
However, Wu Sangui could not use his sword.
This was also the main purpose of his being sent to Qingyang Mansion. Although the development of the matter was not only beyond his own expectations, but also beyond Jiang Wan's expectations, Jiang Wan clearly told him in his reply
What should Wu Sangui do next?
Call the commander in chief! Gather the crowd! Raise troops! Defeat the thieves!
That's right, now that he has reached this position in a daze, Jiang Wan decided to make Wu Sangui the "Wu Shuai". The original plan was for Wu Sangui to rescue the people and create chaos in Qingyang Mansion, and the best
The result is that the bandits in Qingyang Prefecture can kill each other and have no time to cause trouble in Yan'an Prefecture.
This winter is not only bad for Qingyang Prefecture, but also difficult for Yan'an Prefecture.
Once this winter is over, the villages around Yan'an Prefecture will immediately begin large-scale planting of sweet potatoes. Jiang Wan does not plan to make any big moves until the crops mature and a bumper harvest is achieved. Likewise, he does not want to
Someone comes to interfere with his peaceful and peaceful development.
However, Wu Sangui's development in Qingyang Mansion exceeded Jiang Wan's expectation. Since Wu Sangui was so confused that he almost became the leader of the bandits in Qingyang Mansion, how could he let such a good thing pass.
Under Wu Sangui's restraint, the bandits from Qingyang Mansion will definitely not invade Yan'an Mansion. However, the bandits from other places may not be able to invade Yan'an Mansion. However, Qingyang Mansion will use the name to expand its strength.
It is a matter of course to conquer the bandits all over Shaanxi and it should go smoothly.
To be honest, Jiang Wan had the intention to let Li Zicheng's 4,000th household allocate some soldiers and horses to pretend to join Wu Sangui. After all, the manpower and available soldiers and horses around Wu Sangui are too few now. Once the thieves find out, and
If he himself does not have the corresponding strength, then Wu Sangui's best choice is probably to choose his own way of death.
It won’t be a good death anyway!
However, after careful consideration, Jiang Wan gave up the idea of sending people to support Wu Sangui. First of all, with so many people knowing, it would be difficult to ensure that the news was not leaked. Secondly, Li Zicheng's 4,000th household was originally
Although the local refugees recruited now belong to the officers and soldiers, their loyalty is still open to question. If there is no test, these people can naturally maintain their true nature. However, when they really arrive in Qingyang Mansion, they will be bribed by various temptations.
Next, I don’t think all of these people will rebel, but I think some of them will really become thieves again.
This point is almost undoubted. Jiang Wan has always believed that human nature is the thing that cannot stand the test. If it is not necessary, it is best not to let people have the opportunity to test this thing.
"Then let Wu Sangui do the work on his own!"
This is Jiang Wan's final determination, and no matter Wu Sangui's luck or strength, there is no one more suitable to do this in Qingyang Mansion than Wu Sangui now. Of course, Wu Sangui can make Wu Sangui even if he is no longer willing to be a thief.
Wu Shuai" was the reassurance Jiang Wan gave him in her reply.
"This commander will report all the matters you are doing to the Emperor in secret for future inspection, so you can act with peace of mind!"
Wu Sangui, what else can you say?
He has reported this matter to His Majesty. If he disobeys orders, he will be disobeying orders. And the emperor knows about this matter. What he, the "bandit leader", does is to bear the humiliation and bear the heavy burden, and go deep into the enemy camp.
I will no longer worry about being misunderstood and being blamed.
Then do it!
After all, Wu Sangui was still young, and all he thought about was making achievements. Once he figured out the powerful relationship between this, he immediately let go of his worries.
It's nothing more than conquering the bandits. Being an officer and a soldier means killing bandits. Being ordered to be the leader of bandits means driving bandits to kill bandits. What's the difference?
As long as Mr. Jiang above knows the truth and His Majesty knows the truth, then there will be no worries at all.
The envoys from Qingyang Mansion rushed to various places one after another, and the heads of the thirteen families in Qingyang Mansion also began to mobilize their troops. Naturally, such movements could not be hidden from the 4,000 households who had been monitoring the direction of Qingyang Mansion.
Scouts.
It's just that after they reported the news they observed and inquired about, except for the increased knowledge of Qingyang Mansion, there was no other follow-up. The entire Yan'an Mansion City was still being constructed in full swing every day.
, not disturbed by these news at all.
It was at this time that Xu Caining and his party of more than 100 people returned from the capital after a long journey.
When she went there, Xu Caining brought a few personal guards with her, and when she came back, she not only brought back her biological brother, but also the Nanhai Guard's commanding officer Xu Renzhixu, and even brought back a brother from Zhouzhuang.
A large number of young junior officers.
In addition, there were several tightly packed carts with unknown contents. After entering the city, they were pulled directly to the firearms workshop. Not to mention that the Nanhai Guard soldiers guarding the city gate of Yan'an Prefecture did not see it.
What is in this big car? Even after leaving the capital, no one knows what is in this big car when passing through the prefectures and counties. The seal of the Ministry of Industry has always been affixed to it without any damage.
trace.
After more than a hundred grassroots officers entered the city, within an hour, various households began to come to Jiang Wan to ask for people.
Not to mention the original three thousand households, the fourth thousand and the fifth thousand households. Now everyone knows how in-demand these officers from Zhouzhuang are. Today's Yan'an Prefecture does not lack soldiers at all, but it lacks officers.
Especially the officers who have been trained and learned, especially Li Zicheng. If the ragtag group under him can be enriched with such a group of basic officers, he can pat his chest and guarantee that in less than three months, he will be the fourth
Qianhu's combat power can definitely be doubled.
No one understands more deeply than him why the officers and soldiers of the imperial court are better at fighting than thieves.
Jiang Wan seemed to have heard Li Zicheng's thoughts. Among the new officers, nearly half of them were directly allocated to the fourth thousand households alone, and the remaining half were evenly distributed among the other several thousand households.
Among the households.
This made the other thousand households lament that the command was biased. The only one who did not complain was Catherine. Her fifth thousand households really had a lot to complain about, basically the fifth thousand households.
The backbone are all the people who came to Haojing'ao, and those people were all the best people selected from Zhouzhuang.
She came here to ask people to join in the fun, just to join in the fun.
