From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 76 Gaoxiang County’s response

Long Liguo’s official posts and positions were not affected at all. After showing his face in front of the county magistrate Gongsun Kang’an, he ‘put crimes and meritorious service’ to recruit and restore the establishment of the Sermon Army.

However, when Gongsun Kangan wanted to reappoint a warrior from the Gongsun family as the county lieutenant, the county prime minister Yin Liren rejected the proposal of Gongsun Kangan on the grounds that the seniority and experience of the appointed person was too low to resolve the rebels of Licha. .

As a result, the post of county lieutenant was left empty!

Obviously, the Gongsun family made a concession this time. The reason for the concession is simple. In order to prevent the county Cheng Yin Liren from sending the small report on the failure of the rebellion to the Jiedu Envoy of the An Guo Mansion…

The 5000 army is gone. It’s not a small sin. County Lieutenant Xue Mingzhi is a member of Gongsun’s family. If he really stabbed him, the Jidu Envoy would not let go of this opportunity and tore a big piece from Gongsun’s family. flesh!

For this reason, the Gongsun family bowed their heads to Yin Liren in Gaoxiang County and gave up some political rights, but it was nothing.

Yin Liren is not a gentleman. He has no military power and is ultimately rootless duckweed. Even if the Gongsun family gives him some political benefits, there is no need to worry about Yin Liren’s influence on the foundation of the Gongsun family.

And in this way, it seems that the Gongsun family was overwhelmed by Yin Liren in Gaoxiang County, but in the future cooperation, it will definitely be more enjoyable, especially when the rebels like Li Cha have not been eliminated!

“According to the information our bad guys got from Dashi Town, Richard did not only fail to burn, kill, and looting in Dashi Town, but instead of appointing Dashi Town’s original government officials, he also publicly recruited officials in Dashi Town and the collapse of the original patrol camp. Soldiers fill his Ming army camp!

This approach of Richard is not a bandit at all, he is very ambitious. ”

County Cheng Yinliren said with a heavy expression.

Now the two men’s internal fighting has long been put down, the Gongsun family’s concession has greatly increased Yin Liren’s power in Gaoxiang County, and it’s not good news for the two of them that Richard sits in a big place. After the investigation occupied Gaoxiang County, the county Cheng Yin Liren couldn’t please.

“We can no longer condone Richard’s development like this. This time we have to gather all our forces to encircle Richard’s rebels. It is not without benefit for me and others that Richard’s capture of Dashi Town.

Since Dashi Town was meticulously governed by Richard, it means that he does not intend to be a rogue. We can block Richard’s rebels in Dashi Town with a clear goal!

If Richard abandons Dashi Town, the prestige he has just established will be lost. The morale of the rebels gathered under Richard’s command will definitely be hit, and the encirclement and suppression will be much easier. ”

Gongsun Kang’an is rather optimistic about Richard’s rebels…

Yin Liren raised his eyes to Gongsun Kang’an: “Is the magistrate ready?”

The power of the Gongsun family in Gaoxiang County is naturally not comparable to Yin Liren’s. If it weren’t for the checks and balances of the Anguo Mansion’s ambassador, the Gongsun family could easily take advantage of the Yin Liren county!

Since Gongsun Kangan has a confident look, Yin Liren would naturally not take his words as self-bragged.

“Of course, I have issued a summoning order to Dashu Town. Dashu Town can deploy more than 3,000 Semu patrol teams and 1,000 patrol battalion soldiers, plus about 1,000 county soldiers in Gaoxiang County. Cobbled out an army of 5000.

The Semu Servant Army has now been expanded to two thousand people. Our Gongsun family has paid to increase the recruitment price, and soon the establishment of the 5,000 Sermu Servant Army will be restored. By then, it will be an army of 10,000.

In addition, our Gongsun family also has a group of warriors and family members. If we temporarily recruit the guards of the gentry family in Gaoxiang County, we can also gather about 1,000 people.

They will be led by the warriors of our Gongsun family and the strong men of Gaoxiang County. Their combat effectiveness is only stronger than that of the county soldiers! ”

Yin Liren’s expression was stunned. He underestimated the influence of the Gongsun family in Gaoxiang County. The Gongsun family was able to call in Gaoxiang County to recruit a thousand gentry family guards!

There are not many wealthy gentry in Gaoxiang County, and they can make up a thousand people. This shows that the Gongsun family has almost convinced the entire gentry class in Gaoxiang County!

These family guards are not comparable to the county soldiers. They eat well and wear good weapons and equipment. Not to mention, the Chinese gentry are life-saving. Armed family guards have always been generous. A set of light iron armor is the basic standard equipment. It’s not a big deal to wear a set of medium armor.

Strong bow and hard crossbow are even more handy!

Many people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty once joked that if they could gather the guards and guards trained by the wealthy and gentry, they would be able to compete with the regular field troops of the Tang court in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness!

Gaoxiang County is just a border county of Anxi Duhu Mansion. It doesn’t even have a wealthy family. Even if it is the Gongsun family, it can only be regarded as a low-level family in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty.

If you change to a wealthy family in the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty, not only will the number of guards be larger, but the proportion of warriors will be higher, and the equipment will be in line with the most elite field troops of the Tang Dynasty!

However Even if the gentry class in Gaoxiang County is very watery, the family guards trained are enough to beat the county soldiers. It can be said that the more than 1,000 talents gathered by the Gongsun family are the most capable in Gaoxiang County. Fighting troops!

If you add a group of warriors to lead…

Yin Liren, who was originally worried, suddenly came to his head. With such a calculation, perhaps Gaoxiang County can really suppress Richard with its own strength!

As long as Richard’s rebels can be suppressed, Gaoxiang County will be able to write a beautiful report to the ambassador of Anguo Mansion. No matter how many mistakes and mistakes there have been before, they will not be punished at all. Get the credit for the suppression under the Spring and Autumn Period!

If the rebels are strong, the suppression will not mean that the officials in Gaoxiang County are more capable?

Of course, this is also what Gongsun’s family meant. Gongsun Kangan is the one who most does not want the above-mentioned Jidu Envoy to know the true information.

As early as when Long Liguo arrived in Gaoxiang County, the Gongsun family received the news of the defeat of the counter-insurgency army, and mobilized family forces to block this news from spreading to the An Guo Mansion.

At the same time, he also stabilized the county Cheng Yin Liren in the political arena of Gaoxiang County.

Because of this, the Jiedu Envoy of Anguo Mansion did not pay attention to this.

After learning about the forces assembled by the Gongsun family, Yin Liren would naturally not raise any objections, and agreed to Gongsun Kangan’s proposal to lead the troops himself.

There are more than a thousand Ding guards and warriors in the expedition team, all of which were pulled up by the Gongsun family. If the main general is not Gongsun Kangan, Gaoxiang County really can’t find a second existence that can restrain those people.

During Richard’s internal affairs and army expansion, the Gongsun family and the government of Gaoxiang County took out a large amount of Tang coins and smashed them down, and in just a few days they recruited thousands of young men and women into the servant army!
