Poor Family Chapter 583

  Chapter 583 Recruiting troops

The right army camp where Li Yanqing is located is located in the east of the camp. It is composed of thousands of tents. Twenty people are going to be recruited, and several civil officials are also needed, one for the record room, one for the record, and one for each of the six Caos.

   Li Yanqing and Zhong Shuaidao came to the right army camp, Li Yanqing asked with a smile, "I wonder who the commander is?"

  Zhong Shidao smiled slightly: "I have arranged for you Liu Kai for one of them, and the other has not been decided yet, you can think about it yourself."

  Li Yanqing heard that Liu Kai was the deputy general, he was overjoyed, thought for a while and asked, "I don't know why Guan Ke is in the army?"

  Zhong Shidao shook his head, "He Guan is the commander of the Chinese army, Liu Guangshi will not let him go, I have no choice."

   "Where's Yang Zaixing?" Li Yanqing asked again with a smile.

   "Yang Zaixing is also a general in the central army. I can transfer it to you, but his qualifications seem to be a little less senior. You have to think carefully."

  Li Yanqing laughed, "No matter how shallow you are, can you have low qualifications?"

  Master Zhong laughed, "A hero is judged by his military exploits, okay! Then I'll make an exception and promote him to commander, and I'll hand him over to you."

Yang Zaixing used to be the head of Zhong Shidao's personal soldiers, and he has been in the army for five or six years. Of course, Zhong Shidao wanted to promote him, but he was afraid that people would say that he was nepotism, so it happened that Li Yanqing asked him to be the commander, so Zhong Shidao did it. Follow the flow of favors.

Before arriving at the right army camp, Zhong Shidao patted Li Yanqing on the shoulder and left. As the commander, he not only had to take care of Li Yanqing's army, but also inspected other army camps, so as not to be judged as favoritism. Dissatisfied.

When Li Yanqing entered the camp, he saw Liu Qi walking towards him. The two had fought **** battles side by side, and they had a deep friendship. They hadn't seen each other for more than two years. They met each other very cordially at this moment, and they hugged each other tightly. , Li Yanqing said with emotion: "Time flies so fast, it has been more than two years in a flash, I didn't expect that we can still be generals under the same account."

  Liu Kai smiled and said: "It's not about being a general in the same account. You are the chief general and I am the deputy general. You will continue to be the boss."

   "In the big tent of the commander-in-chief, aren't we the same general?"

  The two laughed, and Liu Kai said to Li Yanqing: "It's still empty, and the Five Thousand East Army hasn't been transferred yet. How do you plan to prepare?"

This is also the consistent style of leading an army as a teacher. Generally, he will let his generals build an army by himself and fully trust his subordinates. He is responsible for preparing the general East Army, and deploying his own trustworthy people as the commanders and deputy generals of each army. The chief general is responsible for appointing the second-level officers below the partial general.

Li Yanqing thought for a while and said: "I told the commander-in-chief that another commander will call Yang Zaixing over, and the ten generals will consider me to let Wang Gui, Niu Gao, and Cao's two children, Gao Chong and Zhang Hu, There are six people here, and if you recommend two more, Yang Zaixing recommends two and it's almost enough."

  Liu Kai shook his head lightly, "I don't need to make recommendations, but I would like to give Yanqing a piece of advice."

"you say!"

   "The 5,000 Western troops that will be transferred immediately are all partial generals. You can't get rid of them. You must leave at least five places for them, otherwise the army will be difficult to lead."

Li Yanqing suddenly realized that he almost forgot the original general of the army. Thanks to Liu Kai reminding himself, he quickly said: "You are right, then get rid of Zhang Hu. His qualifications are a little weaker, so I will make preparations." Go ahead! In addition, I also plan to set up an independent scout battalion, which is actually eleven side generals."

   "It should be possible. The Scout Battalion is actually the former Intelligence Division. I think it is very important and should be restored."

Just as they were discussing, Yang Zaixing arrived with a few entourages. Compared with the battle of Xixia a few years ago, he was more calm and serious. He knelt down on one knee and saluted Li Yanqing, "The last general, Yang Zaixing, is the commander-in-chief." Order, come here to report to the Commander!"

   Liu Kai was ashamed for a while. He didn't salute Li Yanqing as a subordinate just now, but even hugged him. It was obviously a meeting between a subordinate and a boss, but it turned into a reunion of friends.

  Li Yanqing hurriedly supported Yang Zaixing and said with a smile, "We haven't formally joined the army yet, so Zaixing doesn't need to be polite."

  Yang Zaixing said with a serious face: "Although he has not officially joined the army, he has been appointed to a military position. Of course, a humble position should be a subordinate salute."

  Li Yanqing had nothing to do with him, so he could only reluctantly say to him: "Then General Yang, please go and see the big tent first, Zhang Dutong will notify us to lead the troops soon, let's divide the military tent first."

   "The humble post obeys!"

  Yang Zaixing left in a hurry, Liu Kai looked at his back and smiled and said: "He has always been so serious. Not many people like him in the Hedong Army, but he has no problem leading troops to fight."

  Li Yanqing nodded, of course Yang Zaixing's ability, he didn't want him here for appearance, but at this time he didn't see Wang Gui, so he asked, "Where is Wang Gui?"

   "It seems that someone is looking for outside the camp, and he ran outside the camp, so no, he is here!" Liu Kai pointed to the south.

  I saw Wang Gui came hurriedly with a person, leading a black-skinned horse, dark skinned and dusty, Li Yanqing recognized it at a glance, the person who came was Niu Gao?

  Li Yanqing was overjoyed, and hurried up to greet him, "I look forward to it, the old cow is finally here!"

  Niu Gao was excited, he quickly knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists and said, "The last general, Niu Gao, see the control!"

Just now it was Yang Zaixing, now it is Niu Gao again, Li Yanqing hurriedly helped him up, and introduced to Liu Kai: "This is my younger brother Niu Gao, who was born in martial arts. Come join me now."

Li Yanqing introduced Liu Kai to Niu Gao again, and Niu Gao hurriedly greeted him. Liu Kai looked at Niu Gao and saw a pair of corrugated double maces on his back, weighing at least forty catties, so he smiled and said, "I also have a single mace." Hand mace, when shall we learn how to use mace?"

   "General Liu has an order, Niu Gao must obey it!"

Generally, soldiers will not be dispatched until the main civil and military officials of each army are in place. Moreover, during the preparation period of the army, Li Yanqing can go home and have a look. He will not enter the state of war until the army officially goes north. At that time, he cannot leave the barracks casually. .

  The most urgent thing for Li Yanqing now is to find someone. He wants to find Cao Ping for two Cao family children, Gao Shen for Gao Chong, and civil servants.

  Of course, civil servants can be recruited by Zhong Shidao, or by Li Yanqing himself. Li Yanqing must first implement the scout battalion leader, and he has already thought of the most suitable candidate.

  Li Yanqing left the barracks, took Zhang Bao and Zhang Ying back to the mansion, and found Hu Qinger.

  Hu Qing'er was a little unhappy and said: "Brother leads the army to conquer Liao, why is there no business for me?"

   Li Yanqing apologized in his heart. Although the Song army did not prohibit women from joining the army, each commander could control it by himself. Like Liang Hongyu, he could also lead a female soldier to follow Han Shizhong, but the way of teaching is to strictly prohibit women from appearing in the barracks.

   "It is strictly forbidden for the commander-in-chief to bring women into the barracks. That is a capital offense. You wouldn't watch your brother be beheaded on the first day he took office!"

  Hu Qing'er also knew in her heart that she couldn't join the army to fight, so she could only ask angrily: "Since you don't want to take me with you, why did the elder brother rush back to me?"

   "I want you to take me to the shop opened by Dai Zong."

  Hu Qinger was taken aback, "What does Big Brother want him for?"

   "I want to find Yanqing!"

  Li Yanqing knew that Yan Qing was the best scout, and he had to pull Yan Qing into his barracks for this northern expedition.

  Hu Qing'er thought for a while and said: "Yan Qing will not go to seek refuge with Dai Zong, they are deadly enemies, if elder brother wants to find him, maybe I know where he is?"

"you know?"

Hu Qing'er nodded, "Yanqing told me last time that the Lu family still has some property in the capital. Uncle Lu's family was killed and no one has inherited it. This property will be left to him. Since we return to Beijing, I guess he will In the capital, why don't I take my elder brother to look for it!"

   "Do you know where?"

   "In the Xinqiao area, it's called Lu's Inn."

  Li Yanqing is quite familiar with the Xinqiao area, and their first rouge shop opened in Xinqiao.

  Coincidentally, Lu's Inn is directly opposite Li Ji Rouzhi Shop, but Lu Ji Inn is closed and not open. There is a sign on the door, which says "for sale in this store".

Li Yanqing and Hu Qing'er first came to Li Ji Rouge Shop, Li Yanqing was changing the brand, the Li Ji Rouge Shop brand was removed, and replaced by Zhang Gu Gu Rouge Shop, it seems that his father has already negotiated with Zhang Gu Gu's proprietor to buy it. Named the store.

  Li Yanqing asked the shopkeeper of Rouge Shop, "Is there anyone in the inn opposite?"

  The shopkeeper scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "This inn has been closed for several months, but it seems that someone lives in it at night. We saw the lights on the second floor of the inn when we took inventory last night."

At this time, Hu Qing'er who was standing at the door suddenly rushed over, Li Yanqing was startled, and hurriedly followed, only to see Hu Qing'er stopped a middle-aged man who was arguing with Hu Qing'er, seeing Li Yanqing coming, he lowered his head .

  Li Yanqing also discovered this man's weakness, the glue and flour on his face hadn't dried yet!

   "When did Brother Yan Xian return to Beijing?"

  The middle-aged man was Yan Qing. He saw Li Yanqing and Hu Qing'er in front of the window on the second floor, so he hurriedly put on makeup and wanted to leave through the back door, but he had to go through the alley next to the store to leave the back door, but Hu Qing'er stopped him unexpectedly.

  He was like a discouraged ball, listlessly said: "The county lord is here, let's go into the store and talk!"

   Li Yanqing walked into the inn with him, only to see that the inn occupies at least three acres, but it has not been open for several months, and it is full of dust.

   "Is this your shop?" Li Yanqing asked with a smile.

  Yan Qing sighed: "It's my adoptive father's shop. He left it to me, but he can't get through the account. It has become a dead shop."

"Why?"

Yan Qing took out the shop deed from her bosom and handed it to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing took it, and saw that the owner of the house was Lu Junyi, Yan Qing said from the side: "I asked Yaren, the transfer requires a contract, and the original owner must sign and draw a deposit. But my adoptive father has passed away, where can I sign the pledge? If the original owner dies, the government of origin must prove his death, and then prove that I can inherit the property, and then the government will accept the transfer of this shop."

  The magistrate of Daming Prefecture is still Zhang Shuye, who is his immediate boss. Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Let's do it! I'll help you with this matter."

   "Can the officials handle it?" Yan Qing was a little disbelieving.

  Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Prefect Zhang of the Daming Mansion is now serving as the Deputy Commander of the Northern Expedition East Route Army, and he is my immediate boss. How could I not handle it properly?"

  Yan Qing was speechless for a while, Li Yanqing said again: "I came to you today because I hope you can follow me in the Northern Expedition, defend your home and country, do a career, and live up to your abilities."

  Yan Qing bowed her head and said nothing, while Hu Qing'er said angrily, "How did you promise before that my elder brother killed Song Jiang for you, and you ran away and refused to keep your promise?"

  Yan Qing blushed and argued loudly: "I didn't escape, I followed the officials all the time, and I set fire to the Black Heart Dragon King's lair."

  Li Yanqing stopped Hu Qing'er with a wave of his hand, and said gently to Yan Qing: "I know, you have also sent a letter twice to remind me that someone is going to attack you. In fact, you don't have to avoid it. A man, what's wrong with holding your head up!"

  Yan Qing was extremely ashamed in his heart, he knelt down on one knee and cupped his fists and said: "Yan Qing is willing to follow the officials and do the work of a dog for them!"
