Le'an County is the most important part of Qin Ge's Qingzhou strategy.
Qiguo County, which is currently the main target, borders Beihai County. It will engage in a protracted confrontation with the Liangshan bandits and the Yellow Turban bandits, which will not provide a stable development environment at all.
Jinan County was attacked by the Baibo bandits and Liangshan bandits. Qin Ge did not have the extra troops to defend, so Le'an County had the best development environment.
According to Qin Ge's plan, let Man Chong pacify Le'an County as soon as possible and provide Qin Ge with a large rear area to gain a foothold in Qingzhou. This is a key step for Qin Ge to gain a foothold in Qingzhou.
Among Qin Ge's ministers, Man Chong has the most comprehensive abilities. He can go to the battlefield to fight with the enemy hand-to-hand with his sword, he can form an army to fight in battle, he can govern a party when he is in power, and he can also plan the overall situation.
It can be said that Man Chong has no shortcomings in the four skills, so Man Chong deserves to be the governor of Le'an County.
However, the greater the ability, the worse the situation. After arriving in Le'an County, Man Chong not only had to lead the army to fight in person.
And because Liu Pi was born in Xiangma, despite Feng Lie's assistance, he still failed to establish an organized army.
Man Chong still has to sit in the military camp and manage the army, and now he needs to handle various political affairs such as the immigration of the Karasuma tribe, land disputes in various places, resettlement and relocation of refugees.
In addition, because the Karasuma tribe generally has a low level of education and a weak awareness of the rule of law, they often fail to change their habits and steal, kill and rob, which intensifies ethnic conflicts.
Not only do they need to quell the dispute, but they also need to civilize the Rong clan. Man Chong now wants to cut himself into eight pieces.
However, in terms of military affairs, there were 100,000 elite Karasuma Rangers led by Qianzhao and Qin Jizong's 20,000 Nether Wolf Cavalry. The bandits and thieves wandering around without solid fortresses were basically constantly eliminated.
And those bandits who own the mountain stronghold can no longer burn, kill and loot unscrupulously. Most of them are infantry with backward equipment. Once they leave the stronghold, they will have no danger to defend and will directly become the meal of the cavalry. Man Chong's plan to suppress the bandits begins. Orderly operation.
In terms of civil affairs, Qin Ge also had Chen Yuan, a master who was good at mediating ethnic conflicts specially assigned to him, Sima Ju, the eminent scholar, and Gao Tanglong, Qin Ge's adopted son, to assist him.
Although Man Chong was very busy, the development of Le'an County began to turn from chaos to order and onto the right track.
After the generals cleaned up the battlefield, Liu Pi and Sun Li led the generals to report one after another. They stood upright in front of Man Chong, and their previously loose banditry had somewhat subdued.
Originally, as the commander-in-chief of the county, Liu Pi should be in charge of military affairs. However, Liu Pi came from a poor family and only had a strong sense of bravery. During battle, he activated Taoism and became a golden-armored god general.
The ability of a military commander cannot be discerned by Man Chong at all, so he can only personally direct the battle and train these generals during the battle.
Man Chong's thoughts were pulled back, and when he saw Sun Li with a tiger-like head in front of him, Man Chong's eyes flashed with gleam.
Although Sun Li is young, he is as brave as a tiger in combat, has certain cultural qualities, and is talented in military command. He has made rapid progress during this period.
Man Chong valued this little guy very highly, so he was extremely strict with him. His voice became cold and he said: "Sun Li! What is the essence of street fighting? The cooperation of shield soldiers and spearmen, rather than a moment of bravery! Because of your Wrong, several brothers died in vain! You must remember that you are the commander-in-chief and you are responsible for the lives of all your brothers. The battlefield is about strategy, not personal bravery!"
Sun Li stood upright, shivering under Man Chong's scolding, and at the same time he was ashamed of his recklessness.
Man Chong left a cold sentence: "After you return, you go door to door to support the families of these soldiers! Apologize to them!"
At this time, a county official came in a hurry. When Man Chong saw the red flag hanging on his back, he knew that it was an urgent matter. He quickly asked Liu Pi and Sun Li to organize their troops, while he went to meet the county official.
This county official was an evolutionist. He had just finished copying the documents sent from the county government. When Man Chong took the official document, it was the urgent telegram sent by Sima Ju. It turned out that a young man from the Karasuma tribe had an emotional entanglement with a Han woman.
A large-scale fight broke out between the people of the two townships, and Chen Yuan rushed to the scene.
Man Chong frowned after reading this, and soon began to assign relevant work to Sima Ju, who was in charge of the county magistrate's mansion.
Seeing Man Chong busy in the distance, Liu Pi made a face, leaned over and patted Sun Li on the shoulder and said: "I have inquired, our Lord Sheriff is known as ruthless, and no one has even seen him. He smiled. This battle was already a complete victory. The death rate was very small compared to before. Our performance was already very good. Alas! I originally hoped to get a reward, but I didn't expect to receive a scolding! Let's get used to it in the future. !”
Sun Li shook his head and said: "Although Mr. Manchu is strict, he is truly talented and practical and leads by example. The reason why we achieved a great victory this time is all because he personally supervised and commanded the battle. If it had been before, we would have suffered more than half of our casualties." !His reprimand just now is reasonable. The Mandarin has almost carried all the burdens on his shoulders. After the New Year this time, the adoptive father hopes that we can share part of the Mandarin's burden as soon as possible. Brothers! We really want to change. Let’s use all the ruffianism that once scattered the bandits to catch up and forge an invincible army!”
Sun Li's righteous words made the generals ashamed. Liu Pi's face turned red with shame. He, a seven-foot man, was actually defeated by a brat. He waved his sword and shouted: "Xiao Li is right! Are we soldiers now?" Bandits, from now on you must abide by the rules and regulations, and stop being lazy and embarrassing yourself! If you want to be respected by others, you must respect yourself. We are soldiers, not bandits!"
All the soldiers raised their swords and shouted.
Man Chong was handling official duties when he was suddenly startled by the excitement of the crowd. He turned around and saw Liu Pi, Sun Li and others marshaling their troops to clean up the battlefield with great fighting spirit. A trace of relief appeared in his tired eyes.
…
In the Qin family's ancestral hall, Qin Ge, Jin Deman and Wei Sanniang were kneeling in front of the ancestral hall. Under the auspices of the clan elder, they registered the names of the two daughters into the Qin family's genealogy and read out the Qin family's clan rules. , the two girls swore to abide by the clan rules, thus completing the ceremony.
Xu Shu, Tian Feng and other important ministers and the descendants of the Qin family watched the ceremony and waited for it to be completed.
Qin Ge took the two daughters and introduced them to the elders and clan members. After paying homage to their ancestors and praying, the two of them entered the Qin family.
Wei Sanniang was so excited that tears filled her eyes.
Qin Ge took his two daughters and said to everyone: "Everyone knows what happened between Shan De and Xiu Niang. I originally planned to marry them in a glorious manner after returning to the territory. However, you are not in your position for your own benefit. I Only now do I understand the bitterness and helplessness of this sentence. Today Shande and Xiu Niang have become members of the Qin family and are my wives. Everyone is here to witness it. I will definitely give them a grand wedding in the future!"
Everyone applauded when they heard this.
After the applause stopped, Qin Ge continued: "Soon, the army will send troops to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits. All the military affairs of Qilin City will be taken over by Shandeok on my behalf. I hope everyone can fully support her! Shandeok was once the queen of Silla Kingdom. , is now married to me and has rich experience in governing the country. I hope everyone can help her so that the people of Mount Tai can have enough food and clothing!"
As soon as Qin Ge said this, everyone was shocked, but many people still applauded one after another to show their support.
Because of some doubts about Kinderman's identity, especially the elders and uncles of the clan, Qin Ge has never appointed the city lord of Qilin City. Many people hope that this important position will fall into the hands of a descendant of the Qin family.
I didn't expect Qin Ge to appoint Kinderman now. However, the Han Dynasty has a tradition of wives following their husbands since ancient times. Now that Kinderman has a legal status, they have no reason to object.
Seeing that the expected results were achieved, Qin Ge started to hold a banquet. Today was the day when all the generals and colonels were getting married, and Qin Ge started to drink with his brothers again.
"Congratulations, sister, for becoming the acting city lord of Qilin City. You have basically mastered the foundation of my husband's territory. She is my husband's true virtuous wife!" Wei Sanniang congratulated Kinderman.
Kinderman was very indifferent to the position of city lord. He rubbed his forehead and said: "Men have men's responsibilities, and women have women's way of doing things. If yin and yang are confused, it is transgression! But now that the territory is facing internal and external troubles, Qilin City must If someone needs to support me, I’m just sharing your husband’s worries!”
Seeing the surprised expression on Wei Sanniang's face, Kinderman smiled and said: "Now the entire administrative system of Qilin City has been drained by my husband. All those officials and officials will follow him to march into Qingzhou, and my husband's ideal of world unity is , the territory’s original political system must be reformed. If I take on this heavy burden, I am destined to have to do the dirty work on my shoulders. I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep well in the future, and the days when I feel like a god will be gone!”
Wei Sanniang comforted Kinderman and reassured her that she would fully assist her.
When Kinderman heard this, a strange look shone in the depths of his eyes.
At night, in the fairy nest, Qin Ge was already a little drunk and staggered to the bedroom. Wei Sanniang helped him to the bed, gave him a bowl of sobering soup, and took a hot towel to wipe his body.
Qin Ge vaguely realized that there was one person missing, and looked around and said, "Where's Shan De?"
Wei Sanniang pursed her lips and said, "Sister is sorting through the files of your former city lord's palace. She said that within three days, she will review various documents and files starting from the founding of our village!"
Qin Ge rubbed his forehead when he heard this and said: "I originally thought that she had no interest in the position of city lord, and I was worried about whether she could bear this heavy responsibility as a woman. Now it seems that my worries are ridiculous. This dead girl is still here. What I pretend to be in front of me is just like the real thing, it seems I can go on an expedition to Qingzhou with peace of mind!"
Speaking of this, Qin Ge smiled as if he was relieved, looked at Wei Sanniang, who was stunningly beautiful in her dress, took her hand and smiled: "You see it's late at night, shouldn't we get down to business?"
Wei Sanniang's face turned red and she said, "Sister said she wants you to restrain your desires, but the deadline hasn't expired yet. Besides, sister is dealing with government affairs. It's not good for us to do this!"
"What sister! That girl is the youngest, and everyone calls her sister when she meets her! You can figure it out for yourself! I'm going to Qingzhou in two days, and I won't have much time to spend with you. You said it's important to listen to that girl. , it's more important to stay with me!" Qin Ge said with a smile on his face.
Seeing that Wei Sanniang was shaken, he half-pushed her, pulled her into his arms and said with a sly smile: "Come here! A night of spring supper is worth a thousand pieces of gold! Damn your mother's bullshit, restrain yourself!"
As he spoke, the red gauze tent felt warm.
