"Congratulations, Master!" He Lingchuan raised his hand.
"Been taught a lesson."
"What are you teaching? It's just a gossip. Please treat me to dinner!" So he took Master Sun to stay in Yuheng City and had a dinner by the way.
The number of people in the city has increased visibly. Panlongcheng snacks and even Poria paste are everywhere on the streets.
Although Yuheng City is a frontier fortress, if the goods shipped from Baishawan in the south want to go to Jinyang Kingdom and Xilao Kingdom, they must be transited here.
Passing meat to others makes your hands full of fat. He Lingchuan once again realized the important status of Yuheng City.
If the banditry in Longchuan River is not eliminated, the southern trade routes are frequently disturbed and merchants are unwilling to come, Yuheng City and Panlong City will be affected.
This is probably the intention of some forces. The food served in the small restaurants in Yuheng City is rough, the portions are surprisingly large, but there are more dishes and less meat, and there are no exquisite dishes. They focus on being affordable and not expensive.
He Lingchuan found a beautiful woman as his companion, smiled and whispered, and although it was not a sumptuous meal, he felt that this was the life he wanted.
Thinking back to the frightening steps he took in Lingxu City, he felt as if he was in another world. He rested at the inn tonight. The inn had just been renovated, and the color of the old and new wood was very different.
He Lingchuan sent her to the door as usual. The two looked at each other. Even in such dim light, Sun Fuling's eyes were still bright: "Is there anything else?" What needed to be said had already been said at the dinner table, and He Lingchuan coughed.
He said: "No, no, you are tired after a long day, go to bed early." The two doors were next to each other, and he was about to push the door open when Sun Fuling suddenly approached, took his shoulder, and turned him back.
.
Before he could react, Sun Fuling stood on tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. It was very light and quick, like a dragonfly touching water.
He Lingchuan wanted to hug her with his backhand, but as soon as his fingertips moved, she backed away. He retreated faster than he advanced.
"I'm glad you're here!" She blushed slightly, left an unfinished sentence and pushed open the door.
Squeak, He Lingchuan was the only one left in the corridor. Master Sun's red lips were so soft! He was stunned for a moment, and his heart beat several times.
Hey, hey. Sure enough, there is a reward for surviving. The smell of wood and paint around seemed to be getting stronger. Two more guests walked downstairs and saw him standing in the corridor, grinning at the door.
"Is this person sick?" He was unlucky. Hearing this, He Lingchuan lowered his face and glared at them. The knife-like eyes made the two of them tremble and hurried back to the room.
He Lingchuan breathed out slowly, finally calming down, when he suddenly remembered that he had been sneak-attacked again.
It seemed that no matter whether Master Sun kissed him or stabbed him, he still couldn't escape. Uh... He sincerely sighed, this makes no sense.
...Early the next morning, He Lingchuan found the deputy general Chao Qian in the official office who was as busy as a spinning top. This man was also from the Gale Army. After General Red captured Yuheng City, he stayed to guard the city. He had previously served as Commander Xiao's commander in Yuheng City.
The deputy is very familiar with the local customs, people's sentiments, and military and political affairs.
Upon hearing Cao Shi's introduction to He Lingchuan, Chao Qian immediately straightened his back and saluted solemnly. He Lingchuan saw at a glance that his respect came from the bottom of his heart and was not just a formality. He couldn't help but feel a little strange that he and Huang Qian had never met before.
he does not know,
"Broken Knife" has become a famous fighting hero all over Panlong City. His legend has become popular not only in the army, but also in the wasteland.
"No need to bother." He Lingchuan asked him, waving his hand and smiling.
"What are you busy with?"
"Oh, this is the recruitment list in recent days." Huang Gan shook the roster in his hand and quickly entered the work report state.
"Following Panlongcheng's instructions, we established the Yuheng Army. The first batch was reorganized two months ago and put into training, but the number is small. We are now recruiting the second batch. The initial backbone and generals are some of the Gale Army and have combat experience. Panlong patrols, and at the same time recruit a large number of new soldiers."
"Coming from the other side to cause nuisance?"
"Yes, in the past two months, people from Jinyang sneaked across the Yin River five times and went to the villages and towns in Yuheng City to rob, steal and set fire to. We negotiated with the other side, and Jinyang claimed that it was a private matter and had nothing to do with them."
"Have you caught anyone?"
"I've caught them twice. They claimed to be refugees from Jinying and were driven over by their officers and soldiers. However, a few were recognized as water bandits from Longchuan." This was a case of passing the blame.
"The Panlong City Army cannot always be stationed in Yuheng City. We have to recruit as many people as possible to train in winter, otherwise the beginning of spring at the end of February will be the busy farming season."
"How many people have been recruited?"
"As of yesterday, 1,100 people have been recruited, including 700 Xiluo people and about 400 Xiqian people, uh, Changhou people." Chao Qian said,
"Oh yes, there are more than ten monsters, not included." He Lingchuan said immediately after hearing this: "There are quite a few people, are they all recruited?"
"The number of applicants is more than three times that. Some Xiluo people came from remote villages and towns to sign up and had to enlist in the army. We screened out many, including more than 300 Changhou people who took the initiative to sign up." Chao Gan said with a smile,
"They all came because of the name of the Great Wind Army, but in the end they couldn't get into the Great Wind Army, so they could just retreat and do the next best thing."
"Selected according to the requirements of Panlong Patrol?"
"Yes." Panlong City's recruitment standards have been in place for a long time, and have only been slightly revised over the years.
"It's high." He Lingchuan shook his head,
"Leave it a little lower. The Yuheng City Army does not need to be as strict as the Panlong Army in the early stage. Quantity comes first before quality."
"Yes." He was the commander, and Chao Qian would not refute anything he said.
"How did you deal with the original army in Yuheng City?"
"According to the requirements of the Red General, they were dispersed to various places, armies, and teams, reorganized, and retrained. There are only less than 200 people left here in Yuheng City." This is how surrendered troops are generally handled to avoid getting together and causing trouble. .
Therefore, the current public security and stability of Yuheng City mainly rely on the support of Panlong City's division of troops. This is not a long-term solution. He Lingchuan must form a Yuheng City army and put it into practical operations and battles as soon as possible.
You have to rely on your own bones to grow meat.
"Okay, let's go as planned." He is not the only one working in the army from top to bottom. As the commander, he only needs to give orders.
"Let's talk about the Longchuan bandits, have you ever dealt with them?" Wen Daolun was in charge of the overall situation, and his understanding of Longchuan should not be as good as the officers and soldiers who caught the bandits.
"Hua Le, on the whole, are much smarter than the bandits in Panlong Wasteland. They basically don't confront us head-on. If there is any trouble, they will hide back in Longchuan. That place is really a nest of snakes and rats!" Chao Qian said,
"We pretended to be a caravan three times and caught two groups of bandits. Since then, they have acted more cautiously and will not attack if they are not sure." He Lingchuan focused on the key points: "Where does the certainty come from?"
"They have spies in places like Yuheng City and Baishawan. They even have their manpower hidden in chambers of commerce and caravans."
