Yin Li was very satisfied with the deterrence brought by this arrow. He said to the people downstairs:
"Don't panic, the Prime Minister has ordered to strictly investigate the traitors among you. Now take out the talismans one by one and pass them through my inspection. Don't worry, we will never let a bad person go, but we will not wrongly accuse a good person.
So those who clear themselves will clear themselves up and line up."
I don't know whether it was Yin Li's arrow or his words that worked. People downstairs began to line up one after another, holding talismans in their hands and waiting for inspection.
After that, the gate of the Western Market was opened, with many county officials in front, and the county soldiers behind them holding halberds, and they began to inspect the talismans of the people present.
While looking at the talismans, they carefully identified the person coming and let them go if there were no surprises.
The innocent man knew that this was a big deal, so without saying anything else, he took the talisman and quickly left through the halberd gate built by the county soldiers and went home directly.
The team was getting shorter and shorter, and some of them were obviously getting agitated. They winked at each other, and finally couldn't bear it anymore. They took out their weapons from the car on the side and rushed through the door.
The county officials were unprepared and hurriedly fled behind the halberd gate. The halberd-wielding warriors quickly fired their halberds and surrounded these people. The archers on the tower gate began to name the thieves below one by one.
After a while, the five people who ran out of the crowd were shot into hedgehogs. When they saw that they were all dead, several county officials came forward and began to search these people.
When they turned over to the car, they saw bags of coarse salt, and they suddenly realized. Then several people looked at each other and asked someone to push the car aside.
That's right, these people who escaped were some illegal salt sellers.
The salt law of this dynasty is different from that of the previous dynasties. In the former Han Dynasty, starting from Emperor Xiaowu, the official management of salt and iron was implemented, and all the salt and iron in the world were taken back to the state. The salt flat stoves that were originally owned by wealthy people were taken back to the state, and the salt was boiled by the officials themselves.
, officials transport salt by themselves, officials sell salt by themselves.
But since Emperor Xiaohe of this dynasty, salt can be boiled, smuggled, and sold privately all over the world. However, in the salt-producing areas of the world, this dynasty has set up salt officials to collect salt taxes.
It is obvious that these private salt dealers did not pay taxes after producing their own salt, but chose to sell it privately in the market.
This time, these people were hunting rabbits with a guilty conscience, and their lives were wasted in vain. The private salt that they had worked so hard to cook would also fall into the hands of these humble subordinates.
The death of the five people made everyone present further understand the seriousness of this matter. No one said anything, who is my father, and no one said who we are, and who is his disciple. Everyone has only one thought, to leave this place quickly.
When the crowd turned to a man with a pale face, the county official responsible for the inspection looked at the talisman in his hand and asked:
"Are you Huang Er?"
The pale man was stunned for a moment and nodded hurriedly:
"Oh, it's me, wait, don't arrest me, it's not me. My name is not Huang Er."
But it was no use. The county soldier who was waiting on one side took out a rope and cut Huang Er behind his back and sent him to the back.
Then, the group of county soldiers lifted the blockade, and the West Market returned to its original state, leaving only a group of people alive there.
There was such a big news that the government was seizing Shigu Mountain to do Huang Er's work. Naturally, it could not be hidden from anyone who was interested. Soon, two groups of people mixed with the crowds leaving the city and headed straight for Mount Tai.
When these two letters belonging to different families were reported to Mount Tai, Zhang Chongzheng was discussing with Duman, He Kui and Yang Mao the new composition.
Since the development of Mount Tai, according to Duman's records, there have been 3,000 soldiers and 30 battalions. There are 80 Shanliao settlements that can be integrated, and there are 6,000 Shanliao residents. In addition, there are 6,000 Shanliao residents outside the mountain.
There are six bastions on the wall, with a population of 3,000 people and six field guards, totaling 600 soldiers.
The power that Mount Tai can radiate reaches Tugu County in the east, Fenggao in the west, Yimeng in the south, and Licheng in the north. It can be said that it radiates hundreds of miles, and the number of Shanliao people it can indirectly affect is estimated to be no less than 100,000. If Zhang
If you don't rush to take the route of elite soldiers, and if you have enough food and fodder, you can recruit over 10,000 troops in no time as soon as you plant a banner.
Zhang Chong has always believed that soldiers should be more valuable than more. If there are too many soldiers, on the one hand, it will be a challenge for the generals to control them. On the other hand, the consumption of corn will be terrible. And more importantly, the military population will be too large.
It will squeeze the productive population. If everyone goes to serve as soldiers, who will grow food?
Therefore, Zhang Chong exercised great restraint in concentrating his military strength on about 3,000 men, with a total of thirty battalions. Originally, this kind of organization was very suitable for Taishan's situation in the mountains.
Taishan Mountain is high and densely forested, so it is generally necessary to separate camps to meet the supply situation. Moreover, by spreading out the camp heads, there will be more contact points to increase the influence of the Shi Jiajun on the Taishan Mountain Laos.
But as the Year of Jiazi is approaching, Zhang Chong has to consider the war situation in the future.
There are currently thirty battalions, and there are sixty generals and deputy generals alone. Although Zhang Chong is full of energy, he is still unable to effectively manage the sixty generals. And in the future, it will no longer be a small-scale battle in the mountains.
, it is more of a group battle, so the existing organization must be reorganized.
After discussion with Zhang Chong, Duman, Yang Mao and others, they decided to add four layers of military, school, department and qu organization to the original establishment of tun, team, unit and corps.
Among them, there are 3,000 soldiers in the whole army, and an additional 1,000 new soldiers will be recruited to form a complete military-level battle group. New recruits are still given priority to be recruited from the field guards and Shanliao people. Naturally, the military leader is Zhang Chong, and the deputy military leader is still Yang Mao. Who among them
Kui served as military advisor and offered wine.
Then there were two more schools under the Taishan Army, each with 2,000 soldiers. Among them, Guan Yu was appointed as the left school captain, and Zhang Dan was the right school captain. Under each school, there were five divisions on the left, right, front, middle and back, each with 400 troops.
.
The subordinates of the left commander will be Chen Huan, Heifu, Ding Sheng, Xie Bi, and Wang Zhang. The subordinates of the right commander will be Li Damu, Dian Wei, Wei Zhou, Guo Liang, and Yu Jin.
There are two generals in each department. Chen Huan's subordinates are Zhao Jian and Duan Xiu; Heifu's subordinates are Huang Yong and Guo Song; Ding Sheng's subordinates are Jin Quan and Zhao Rong; Xie Bi's subordinates are Xie Kun and He Cheng; Wang Zhang's subordinates are
It's Deng Chong and Shi Lang.
As for the right lieutenant, Li Damu's subordinates are Zhang Nan and Wang Han. Dian Wei's subordinates are Zhao Chong and Xu Xi; Wei Zhou's subordinates are Li Wu and Guo Mo; Guo Liang's subordinates are Tao Yong and Wei Lan; and below Yu Jin is Chang Xi.
, Zhang Da. Below these generals, a group of garrison generals emerged, all of whom had been promoted through military exploits over the years.
In addition, there are three of Zhang Chong’s most special troops, namely the Flying Army Scout General Meng Ju, the Assault Cavalry General Tian Jun, and the Rampage Team General Dong Fan. Zhang Chong admired Dong Fan very much.
He was transferred to his own military personnel training team as the leader. As for Cai Que, Guo Zu and the two generals of Humha naturally followed him.
In this way, the total army strength will be maintained at about 4,500 troops, and with the supporting battalions, it may be as high as 5,000 men. This is already a very terrifying force. It is almost equivalent to the mobile force of Qingzhou.
In other words, there is no problem for Zhang Chong to lead Taishan's army across Qingzhou at this moment. But maintaining this force is already the limit of Zhang Chong and Taishan.
It was also when Zhang Chong was planning the future of the Taishan Army that two groups of messengers successively sent their respective news.
When he received the first report, Zhang Chong was still feeling uncomfortable, because the report said that Shi Gushan's spies in Dongping Mausoleum had been arrested. This report was sent by Zhang Chong and the other Taishan Fang soldiers who had buried the secrets in Dongping Mausoleum.
of.
Last winter, Zhang Chong took advantage of the opportunity of doing business with Fenggao Haoqiang to bury fine works in several big cities in Dongpingling and Fenggao, all pretending to be grain merchants.
But soon, Zhang Chong received the second letter and was shocked and angry.
This letter was sent by Dabeard Jisun, the senior brother of Dongpingling. The letter said that Jinan Xiangsi had arrested a traitor named Zhang Goulv, who was suspected of being a traitor. Jisun also asked in the letter whether this person knew
How much information does he have about Taiping Road? Do you know their plan for the Year of Jiazi? Sun Ji even asked him in the letter that if things don't work in the end, he can directly attack Jinan Xiangsi and kill the traitor directly. Across the letter, Zhang Chongdu
I can feel the anxiety of offering sacrifices to my grandson.
Zhang Chong immediately asked someone to call his younger father, Zhang Bingnan, and this dog was one of his subordinates.
Soon Zhang Bingnan came over, and was wondering why he was called to the meeting hall. Usually, he would not attend such meetings, and he would hold them all day long, which made his head hurt.
As soon as he sat down, Zhang Chong asked:
"Little daddy, is Zhang Goulv in the old camp?"
Laoying is the holy treasury stationed in the main village of Wangzhoufeng, and is also generally called Laoying.
Hearing this, Zhang Bingnan nodded and said:
"Yes, aren't we all in the old camp now?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chong immediately asked the guards to go to the old camp to call Zhang Goudu.
Seeing that Zhang Chong was agitated, Zhang Bingnan was also frightened and asked hurriedly:
"What's wrong, Erzi, what's the problem with that dog and donkey?"
Zhang Chong hurriedly told his father about the letter sent by his grandson, and he basically believed the content in the letter. Because Taiping Road has been operating in Jinan for a long time, it must be better informed.
Sure enough, in less than half a moment, the guardsmen came running back and shouted:
"Zhang Goudu is not in the old camp."
Now there was trouble, everyone present looked at each other.
This dog and donkey are the seventy-five old brothers who gathered together in the forest. Although they have been gradually marginalized in the past two years due to their inactivity, they are still old brothers after all. They do not avoid him in many things, so no one
Find out what this dog and donkey know.
But people like Duman and He Kui were more concerned about the impact of this incident on military morale.
Even Zhang Chong's eldest brother has joined the government. What does this make other people think? Originally, there was a balance between officials and thieves, and the thieves were also thinking about recruiting people and getting a ribbon for themselves. If Dongpingling treats Zhang Dog, Donkey, Gao Lu, and Lu Yu
, can have the effect of selling a thousand pounds of horse bones. At that time, wasn't everyone in Taishan's army doubtful and worried that others would lead the team down the mountain to recruit soldiers?
Zhang Chong naturally thought of this situation, and he quickly calmed down, knowing that he had to deal with Zhang Gou Donkey before the matter caused serious doubts in the army.
When he told Yang Mao and others about the idea of hoeing out rapes, Yang Mao also agreed. He took the initiative to ask for orders, saying that he would lead a team of capable people and immediately go down the mountain to hoe out rapes.
But Zhang Chong refused. He thought for a while and said firmly:
"No, this time I will personally lead the team to Dongpingling. If the dog and donkey are killed, I will avenge him. If he is captured, I will kill Touyu Temple to save him. If he really betrays everyone, I will kill him.
Bring your head back."
Hearing Zhang Chong's words, Yang Mao was shocked and immediately admonished:
"The son of a rich man should always be cautious. The white dragon fish was trapped in Yuqie. The white snake released itself and Liu Ji harmed it. Now he is in danger. If he is defeated by disaster, where will he be?"
Yang Mao said it with sincerity, but it could not change Zhang Chong's mind. He only replied:
"There are some things that you must do yourself before you can give an explanation to your brothers."
Yang Mao tried to persuade him again, but he refused.
