Chapter 765 What the soldiers fear most is to say goodbye
Three days have passed since the capture of Wangjing that day, which is the time of Seoul.
During these three days, in addition to clearing out and capturing the defeated soldiers in the city, all units of Liangshan were trying to adjust and rest. After all, after a night battle that had to be fought, all units suffered considerable reductions in personnel. In addition, the continuous attacks and combat in the past few months, except for Wang Lun's personal guards, other field troops had the least losses and only 80% of their combat power was left, let alone the broken organization of the Fan Luo Army.
Therefore, Wang Lun was not in a hurry to launch the next battle. He was waiting because three troops were about to meet in the political, military, cultural and commercial centers of this future peninsula.
However, this city, which is about to usher in major development opportunities, still looks a bit deserted now. The restaurants, inns, and shops in the streets are basically deserted. Even shops such as grain shops that are closely related to citizens' lives are mostly closed.
The reason is very simple. The poor households in this city have long asked Li Ziqian to squeeze out something clean, and most of the people with purchasing power have become opponents of Liangshanbo. At present, the servants of the temporary battalion of the foreign army are busier than anyone else, and are following the map to catch fish that have missed the net.
The depression is a bit depressed, but this is also good, which gives Liangshanpo an opportunity to overthrow and rebuild. As the saying goes, "cut the mess with a quick knife", these local forces in Goryeo, which were once mixed, were just a small group of people, but they were the most hostile targets of Liangshan (Song Army). If these roots are not completely cut off, Goryeo will still be an old prescription that will not change the soup. In the future, it will definitely become the biggest hidden danger of the Liangshan regime.
So from this perspective, taking down the peninsula by force is definitely more straightforward than the opponent's fall. There is a ready-made example now. Hanzi County (formerly Luozhou) under Qiu Xu was the county with the greatest resistance to governance. The other seven counties combined are not as troubles as one county.
Why? It’s not because of Han Anren’s surrender that the local forces are too strong to lose. After all, the knife can be aimed at hostile forces without any scruples, but it can’t easily point to surrender.
Therefore, after Xiao Jiasui's partial teacher conquered Qingshang Road, the most powerful candidate for the prefect was unable to leave because of heavy responsibilities, so naturally there was no question of taking office. So Lu, a former student in Zhenfan County, ranked third in Zhenfan County, took a big advantage, and crossed Qiu Xu and took office as the county magistrate of Xinjian Lintun County covering the entire Qingshang Road.
By the way, five people were transferred from the eight county magistrates of Zhenfan County, plus General Lu, and only Chen Wenzhao, who served as the prefect, and Feng Xi, the magistrate of Tixi County, were not moved. The political affairs of these five counties were temporarily taken by talents recommended before they left office to facilitate Xiao Gui and Cao's follow-up. As for whether these people who were not so sure of being county magistrates, time still needs to be tested.
If a strange thing happened here was discovered by the Song Dynasty officialdom. I don’t know if I would laugh at the old man’s big teeth. Anyway, there would be nothing good to say. After all, it was already outrageous to go from being a white-handed to a county magistrate, and a judging leap to the prefect only took several months apart! What’s even more outrageous is that there are actually a shortage of scholars who are officials here, which is simply the biggest anecdote in the officialdom today!
...
"Master Lu, Master Deng, Baidijie of the Third Battalion and Zhao Paijun of the Seventh Battalion came to say goodbye!"
On the city tower of Nanxun Gate (Seoul Side Gate), Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjuezheng, who came temporarily, discussed business matters. When the military elementary and secondary school came to report the news, the two looked at each other. Only Lu Zhishen said, "Call them up!"
"Senior brother, these two brothers are injured and are very inconvenient to move. Let us two monks go down to see them!" Deng Yuanjue continued.
Lu Zhishen smiled loudly and shouted: "Come back! The Sa family and Senior Brother Deng will go to meet them!"
Seeing this, the school led the way in front. Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue went down the city tower, and saw two pale men standing at the city gate. The two of them were very surprised to see Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue coming in close contact, and hurriedly limped forward to salute. Lu Zhishen waved his hand and said, "None of them are from our Crazy Devil Army. How good is it to salute? Can you stand up? Come on, bring a stool for the two brothers!"
"Master, can stand, can stand!"
Just because Lu Zhishen didn't catch a cold, others called him a general, a general, or the like, so most of the army were called masters, and no one even called him a general, and this Baoguang Tathagata didn't care about such trivial matters.
"It's good to be able to stand up! Although you are not in our army now, we are still brothers from a parody! If you arrive at the local area in the future, you must be able to stand up and stand up firmly! Don't lose the prestige of our army! If you oppress the people and greedy for the law, let alone Pei Xuan can't tolerate you, even my senior brother and I will spare you!" Deng Yuanjue warned, reversing the old situation that he was not interested in anything several months ago.
"The villain remembers the teachings of the two masters. If you go down, you will never lose face of the Crazy Demon Army!" Both of them said. To be honest, they did not want to leave the military camp to be the county magistrate of Lao Shizi, but unfortunately their lives are often unsatisfactory. Before they came to Seoul, they accidentally suffered a serious injury and kept in Huitian Camp. Although their lives are not hindered, they are obviously not suitable to stay in the front-line combat team.
Lu Zhishen nodded and took a bench from the small school where he went to get the bench. He looked rude, but his heart was delicate, and knew that he would not sit on the opposite side, even the two brothers would not sit on it.
Sure enough, Lu Zhishen and Deng Yuanjue, who was sensible, sat down first, and the two of them sat down while greeting him. Lu Zhishen asked: "How are you two injured? How are you so anxious to leave? I remember that you have only been recuperating for more than a month?"
"The injury was not serious, and Doctor Du personally diagnosed it. Now the prefect Lu of Lintun County is urging him to be anxious. There is a boat on the dock of Renxian (Incheon) to go to Jeju Island. Those of us who are not seriously injured have received the order from Junshi Zhu. It is estimated that when we arrive at the local area, we will be well-behaved at seven or eight points!" Bai Tixia seemed to be more talkative than Zhao Paijun. When the general asked questions, he usually answered.
"Well!" Lu Zhishen nodded thoughtfully. Since it was personally diagnosed by the imperial physician in Huitianying, the road should be unobstructed. He took a boat along the way, so it didn't take any effort, which was appropriate. When he was stunned, he saw Deng Yuanjue and asked with some interest: "I heard that you are going to be a county magistrate in the county. I wonder which two counties are?"
"The villain is Dongqing County, the head county of Lintun County, and the county magistrate is also appointed by the prefect Lu. Zhao Paijun is Cantai County. The county magistrate heard that his surname is Zu!" Bai Tixia replied respectfully. Although he only worked under Deng Yuanjue for less than two months, this person was quite incompatible with Lu Zhishen, the leader of the Mad Demon Army. He was square and skilled in martial arts, and he was quite encouraging to the morale of the army. Therefore, the people under Lu Zhishen were also very convinced.
"Dongqing County seems to be the Gyeongju in Goryeo in the past? It is said that Qingshang Road is the name of the Shou County. But where is this Cantai County?" Among the two of them, one of them worked in the army. One of them was the current Pai Army. Although they both took office as county magistrates, one was in the Shou County and the other was in unknown county. This distribution based on qualifications is reasonable. It was just because they were not familiar with the establishment of Lintun County, so Deng Yuanjue turned around and looked at Lu Zhishen and asked.
"Cantai County is Jinzhou, which is called the siege. It is close to Zhenfan County and is close to Jeju Island. It is a little further from the east. In the southeast corner of the peninsula, it was once Tokyo set up by Goryeo!" Lu Zhishen has been in the Western Army since he was a child. His history of joining the army is much longer than Deng Yuanjue, so he is generally more sensitive to the geographical location of the war zone.
"So that's it!" After Lu Zhishen's answer, Deng Yuanjue suddenly realized, touched his scalp with green light, and said to his two subordinates who had not had a deep friendship with him: "The county magistrate with the surname Zu is probably Zu Shiyuan. He and General Lu are both from the Southeast, so I have a relationship with them. I will write a famous post with you later. If there is any difficult problem that cannot be solved. Don't worry, go find them!"
When Bai Tixia saw Shuo and Zhao Paijun looked at each other, he saw a hint of joy on the other person's face. Since Deng Yuanjue and their two new bosses had a friendship with each other, the feeling of uneasy feeling of going to a strange place to face the strange environment in his heart suddenly eased a lot. The two of them stood up in a hurry and expressed their gratitude to Deng Yuanjue.
"Senior Brother Deng is thinking about you like this. The Sa family cannot be left behind. But these civil servants are not familiar with the family and have no friendship. However, the new Lintun County Governor Leng Ning, the Sa family knows him, so they just want to write a letter with you. When you arrive at the place, you can do things with confidence and boldly, and don't forget the teachings of the village leader! Don't wait until you come to Pei Xuan, and blame the Sa family for not speaking for you!"
Leng Ning is the third leader of the Yanshan village in the Yellow River mouth, and the right-hand man of Yang Lin, the Jinbaozi. He joined Liangshan on the way to take Chai Jinjia on the way to get Chai Jinjia. The two of them had no clear position as the leader after going up the mountain. Later, when the garrison army formed the Zhenfan and Lintun local garrison, these two were recommended by Yang Lin, and finally got the first step. While clarifying the position of the leader of Liangshan, they both advanced to the regiment training envoy of the two counties.
"Report! A cavalry was found twenty miles ahead, with a population of nearly one thousand approaching me under the banner of the 10th infantry army!"
The four of them were chatting when they suddenly saw three or five scouts galloping back. Deng Yuanjue looked at Lu Zhishen and said, "The horse team of the Ma brothers?"
"It should be the escort of the military advisor here!" Lu Zhishen said, and then ordered the scout: "Explore again!"
"When will the navy's ship leave?" Deng Yuanjue asked at this moment.
"Let's leave early tomorrow morning, but Ren County is still dozens of miles away, and it is estimated that it will leave in the afternoon. However, at noon, the Marshal will personally serve with our brothers who went to the place to practice it in the Protectorate's Palace!" Bai Tixia replied.
"You two boys are really lucky! At the celebration banquet that broke the city that day, I didn't smell any drop of wine at the Sai family!" Lu Zhishen licked his dry lips when he heard the word "Wine" and must have been the cause of the greed (wine) insect in his heart.
Deng Yuanjue laughed loudly and nodded to the two of them, "You go and say goodbye to your brothers. I will order people to send them to the Protectorate's Mansion!"
Hearing this, the two stood up to say goodbye, and before leaving, they said a lot of thoughts. If Lu Zhishen was a righteous man, he would take good care of his subordinates as long as he did not commit crimes, he would take good care of his subordinates. Therefore, when these two men were about to say good bosses, they could not say anything in their hearts. Even if the position of county magistrates was a shackle that they could not touch before, compared with their current military career, both of them were reluctant to leave. If it weren't for the fact that these two men were people with certain cultural literacy among the wounded soldiers (who had been to private schools for two days), they might have stayed in the team to serve as instructors for training new recruits, which was also the position they had fought for with their hearts.
Seeing the two big men leaving with tears in their eyes, Lu Zhishen felt uncomfortable. Deng Yuanjue advised: "They are going to be people-friendly officials, not separation from life and death. Senior brother will be open to it! In the future, more people like them will appear around us. Senior brother doesn't know how many times will be sad! In my opinion, the more people there are in the place, the broader the prospects for our copycat! This is a good thing!"
Deng Yuanjue said the truth, but Lu Zhishen turned against the refreshing experience just now and didn't speak for a long time. He looked meticulously in the direction where the two left, as if he was watching the wanderer traveling far away from home. Deng Yuanjue sighed and stopped talking, but just stood silently with Lu Zhishen. (To be continued)
