The backyard of the Yamen at this time.
What are Zhang Baozheng and Hu Dugu talking about.
Next to him were Zhang Hansheng and Wu Dayong.
"Master!"
"problem occurs!"
Hu Dugu said to Zhang Bao with a heavy face.
"First of all, it's about the inside of the county government. I heard that a lot of people came a while ago and put the entire county under martial law, but I don't know what happened inside."
"From asking around, it seems that the county guard has been replaced!"
Hu Dugu said to Zhang Bao.
"ah?"
"Isn't the governor of Heyang County Chen Dadao now?"
"Who could that be?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
As the county magistrate, I am considered to be on Chen Dadao's side. If something happens to Chen Dadao, it will not be good for my side.
"impossible!"
"This is impossible!"
"As long as General Fan is still the state pastor, the same thing as before will never happen again."
After hearing what Hu Dugu said, Wu Dayong and Zhang Hansheng on the side shook their heads.
"go on!"
Zhang Bao signaled Hu Dugu to continue.
"Furthermore, Heyang County has been deploying troops frequently from various places recently, and it seems like there is going to be some big move."
"Moreover, many refugees have come over from Liaozhou. In order to escape the disaster of the war, many have already poured into Hezhou. It is estimated that many people will come to our territory in Heyang County before long."
"We originally wanted to continue to inquire for information, but we met a group of people. They were very powerful and had many masters. They didn't look like ordinary soldiers. In order to prevent early exposure, we came back."
Hu Dugu said to everyone.
After listening to Hu Dugu's words, Zhang Bao and others bowed their heads and remained silent.
So many things have happened recently, but there is no clear feeling.
Don't know how this happened.
It's like the darkness before a mountain rain, making it difficult to see clearly.
"Brother Wu, how is the recent recruitment situation?"
"How many troops do we have now?"
Zhang Bao thought for a while and asked Wu Dayong.
"Sir, I'm only over two thousand now."
"We have tried our best to recruit."
Wu Dayong said with some shame.
"Only two thousand in total?"
"Why so little?"
"Didn't those rebels increase their number to more than 10,000 in a short period of time?"
Zhang Bao was very surprised.
During this period of conscription, those who were exempt from the poll tax and could receive military pay should not only be more than 2,000 people!
"Sir, you don't know something."
"We only have so many young men in Sanhe County. Most of the people from the previous villages were taken away by the rebels."
"The new recruits now are basically from around the county."
"And their rebel army is not like us, they are just robbing people!"
"We can't use that method!"
Wu Dayong was also very helpless.
After the previous forced conquest by the rebel army, most of the young and middle-aged people were taken away and then extinguished by Zhang Bao...
It is not easy to recruit more than two thousand people from the remaining people.
"All right."
"Two thousand is two thousand!"
"In this way, move the military camp outside the city to station it!"
"Use military settlements as camps, and there will be one military camp for every hundred acres of military settlements!"
Zhang Bao said to Wu Dayong.
"In addition, I need to recruit a team of two hundred archers from among your city defenders, and I want to train them in archery!"
Zhang Bao turned to Zhang Hansheng and said.
"ah?"
"Sir, for such a small matter, you don't need to come in person, right?"
"I'll just train!"
Zhang Hansheng said to Zhang Bao.
"I'm talking about Lao Zhang."
"If Lao Hu and the others hadn't happened to come back today, those two people would have escaped!"
"That arrow of yours was really accurate. It missed my scalp. If we hadn't been familiar with each other, I would have thought you were the other party's spy!"
Zhang Bao joked with a smile.
Zhang Hansheng blushed and said nothing.
no way.
The arrow I shot just now, although my reaction was quick, was really not accurate.
Not to mention the other defenders of the city.
Didn't even respond.
It's time to train.
"It's my lord, I'll make arrangements when I get back."
Zhang Hansheng said very frustrated.
"In addition, Brother Wu, I need one hundred people to be responsible for catapults, one hundred people to be responsible for making traps, and one hundred people to be responsible for investigation!"
"Help me pick out the people. Those in charge of the catapult need to be strong."
"Those responsible for making traps need to be bold and careful."
"Those responsible for investigation need to be smart."
Zhang Bao said to Wu Dayong.
"ah?"
"Sir, that's all I have in total."
"With all your picky behavior taken away, I will have no one left!"
"Besides, spreading out such a small number of people is not an option."
Wu Dayong was worried.
In the military camps implemented at the county government, the soldiers were basically divided into two groups and carried out in rotation.
If these people are assigned specific tasks, it means that there are only a few hundred people who can be flexibly mobilized under them.
"You can find a solution if you work together?"
"It's all calculated. There are only two thousand people in total. We don't need to do anything else. Thousands of people are coming. Are you going to resist?"
"How many rounds can it take?"
"You can't fight with numbers, you have to use your brains!"
Zhang Bao said speechlessly.
Recruitment is already so difficult now.
If a group of people really died in a battle, wouldn't they be completely exhausted in the end?
"Okay, okay..."
Wu Dayong thought about it too.
He sighed and said nothing more.
At this time.
Huang Chenzhi walked in quietly.
Xie Yunsong had fainted, and the other three were almost the same.
Huang Chenzhi arranged for Xie Yunsong and the others to rest and recuperate first, but still sent a few government officials to watch over them quietly.
"Sir, the identities of the people in front are already known."
"It is Xie Yunsong, the magistrate of Yunzhong County, who was hunted down here for some unknown reason."
"He is now seriously injured and unconscious. I have arranged for treatment."
Huang Chenzhi said to everyone.
"The magistrate of Yunzhong County?"
"Being hunted?"
"What kind of world is this?"
Zhang Bao shook his head.
But thinking about it, Chen Dadao, the governor of this county, had also been hunted down before, and he felt relieved.
“I don’t know what the specific situation is, but it’s just chaos.”
"Sir, we'd better make preparations early!"
Huang Chenzhi said to Zhang Bao with a worried look.
"Listening to what you said, I seem to understand a little bit."
According to Zhang Bao's understanding, even if the county magistrate is the lowest official position in Daxia, he is also an official of the imperial court. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to do anything to them.
The only possibility is the meaning above.
And in this Heyang County, and even in the entire Hezhou Province, the only one who can do these things is probably the Governor Zhu.
Thinking back to what Hu Dugu said just now, there may be something going on with Chen Dadao.
Now it seems that it may not be possible!
"Old Huang, continue to go back and watch the Yunzhong County Magistrate and others."
"Brother Wu, Brother Zhang, do what you just said, go do it immediately!"
"Lao Hu, call the Thirty-sixth Cavalry of the Bao Guard to meet those who are chasing us!"
Zhang Bao said and stood up.
