The war has come to an end for the time being, and Jiang Guangjun's burden has been relieved a lot, as he no longer has to rush to the city wall every day.
After receiving Zhu Renxia's call, Jiang Guanjun immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to the Guiyang County Government.
Ding Xiao, who had been waiting in front of the county government office, saw Jiang Guanjun arriving and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "I've met Mr. General."
Jiang Guanjun dismounted and handed the reins to the servant in front of the door to tie them to the horse-tying stone nearby.
"Company Commander Ding spared his courtesy and counted with his fingers. It seems I haven't seen you for seven or eight days."
Ding Xiao apologized and smiled: "To be precise, it was seven and a half days. Mainly because after the mayor became the magistrate of Guiyang County, his subordinates followed him and kept spinning like a top."
"Where is the mayor?" Jiang Guanjun adjusted his official robe and asked solemnly.
Ding Xiao hurriedly explained: "Just now someone was beating drums to complain, and the county magistrate went to court to settle the case. He asked me to welcome you three at the door and drink tea in the living room first. After he retires, he will come to meet you. "
Under the leadership of Ding Xiao, Jiang Guanjun came to the backyard of the county government office and sat in the living room waiting for Zhu Renxia to withdraw.
Jin Zhu, who was practicing with the team on the school field, was the last to arrive at the county government office. When she entered, Jiang Guanjun and Pang Feihong had been waiting for a long time. Zhu Renxia also returned from class and was chatting with the two.
"Greetings to the county magistrate!"
Jin Zhu, who was disguised as a woman, clasped his fists and saluted, "I thought you summoned me alone, but it turns out that Commander Jiang and Battalion Commander Pang are both here?"
"Haha... Battalion Commander Jin, please take a seat quickly."
Zhu Renxia greeted Jinzhu to sit down with a smile and ordered his servants to serve tea.
Since arriving in Guiyang, this core team from Chang'an Town has performed its own duties and cannot get together every day.
Jiang Guanjun, who served as the commander-in-chief of Guiyang, worked in the command office every day, and Minzhuang of the fourth company, led by Xu Le, served as the escort.
Zhu Renxia had been working as a "relief officer" a few days ago and had no fixed address. Later, he was promoted to the county magistrate of Guiyang and lived in the county government. Ding Xiao led a company of Minzhuang as the trusted guard.
As for Jin Zhu and Pang Feihong, they were both stationed at Dusi Yamen on weekdays, but Jin Zhu managed the first battalion and Pang Feihong managed the second battalion, and they had to go out to perform tasks on a daily basis, so the two did not see each other every day.
After listening to Jin Zhu's words, Pang Feihong joked: "We shouldn't come to the county office and disturb the appointment between the mayor and Camp Commander Jin. It seems that Commander Jiang and I don't understand each other."
Jin Zhu sat down on the chair, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He waved his hand and said, "Your county magistrate only has Miss Axiu in his eyes. I am a tomboy in his heart. He will not date me."
Zhu Renxia laughed and said: "You are busy with official duties. I called you here just for official duties. Don't talk about private matters. Don't talk about private matters."
Jiang Guanjun sat on the chair next to him, holding his chin and thinking to himself: "Since Axiu has worked so hard to persuade me to do this, it seems that it is time for me, the elder, to stand up and say a few words."
Jiang Guanjun is a rough man. He only cares about his family, his country, his country, and his iron horse. He doesn't understand the personal relationship between his children. He didn't even realize that Jin Zhu has been secretly in love with Zhu Changan.
Ding Xiao took him to the living room and served tea, then went to greet Jin Zhu and Pang Feihong outside the door, leaving Jiang Guanjun alone to sit and drink tea.
It was already February, the spring breeze was warm and the sun was shining brightly.
A gust of spring breeze blew through the room, blowing the letter on the table to the ground. Jiang Guanjun, who was drinking tea, bent down to pick it up.
Jiang Guanjun is a gentleman and doesn't bother to read her letters, but he discovers that the letters are letters home from Axiu.
Out of love for his niece, Jiang Guanjun glanced at the contents of the letter and realized that Jin Zhu had been secretly in love with Zhu Renxia, and Jiang Axiu had been begging her husband to accept her as his concubine. It's quite sincere, and it's obviously not pretentious.
This made Jiang Guanjun suddenly realize that no wonder Jin Zhu was reluctant to marry. It turned out that he had been secretly in love with Zhu Renxia.
After listening to the conversation between Jin Zhu and Zhu Renxia, Jiang Guanjun became even more convinced of what A Xiu said in the letter. There was indeed a love affair between the two, and it seemed that he had to make a move today.
"Haha... We are all ordinary people. We have to talk about business matters as well as private matters."
Jiang Guanjun picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said in an overtone, "However, before talking about private matters, it is better to talk about business matters first."
Zhu Renxia first briefly explained the content of the fifth place's letter to everyone.
"In the two months since we left Chang'an Town, a large number of refugees fleeing the war have poured into Chang'an Town. So far, there are nearly 7,000 people in Chang'an Town."
Jiang Guanjun and Jin Zhu looked sideways: "It seems that it is just as we expected. The more intense the fighting in Bozhou, the more refugees will go to our Chang'an Town."
Zhu Renxia continued: "There are more and more residents in the town, and just pointing to Tianzun for relief is ultimately water without a source. Therefore, the fifth master mobilized the people to go out to reclaim land, and take advantage of the fact that it is spring to cultivate more fields. Try to have a good harvest in the fall.”
The three people present all agreed with the fifth-place strategy.
"The Fifth Master did the right thing, and the people should be able to earn something from their work and be self-reliant," Jiang Guanjun said.
Jin Zhu said: "As expected of the fifth master, leaving him in charge of Chang'an Town is indeed a wise choice. I just wonder if he will be jealous of Zhao Yun for becoming the magistrate of Jinping County?"
Zhu Renxia smiled and said: "Fifth Master said that it was too late for him to be happy for County Magistrate Zhao. How could he be jealous? He also said in the letter that he was very satisfied with presiding over the overall situation in Chang'an Town, even at the expense of the County Magistrate. Even if you change the Wusha hat with him, he will never change it."
"Fifth Division Master can't just develop the economy. Have you continued to strengthen the People's Liberation Army? The scale of our Chang'an Army must continue to expand."
Pang Feihong was not interested in topics such as farming, so he found an opportunity to bring the topic to the military.
Zhu Renxia turned the tea bowl in his hand and said slowly: "Fifth Master and Lu Buping have formed another 600-strong people's team, but Lu Buping, Ouyang Feng, and Jiang Jiao don't have much military literacy. , troop training is a mess.
Therefore, the Fifth Master hopes that we can send him a person with military level to serve as the battalion commander. It is for this reason that I called you three here. "
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Guanjun first expressed his opinion: "At present, the people with relatively high military literacy in our Chang'an Army include Ding Xiao, Zhu Junjian, Xu Le, Hou Jie, and the newcomer Gao Tong, who is also a good officer. .”
Zhu Renxia directly stated his suggestion: "Currently, the rebels have retreated, and there will be no more fighting in Guiyang in the short term, because I feel that it is best for Battalion Commander Pang to return to Chang'an Town to train new recruits."
Pang Feihong clasped his fists and said, "I am willing to serve as my subordinate. I will go wherever the mayor needs me to go!"
Zhu Changan explained: "After this period of recruitment, the number of our Chang'an Army has reached 1,200. But it is not enough to make a great contribution in quelling Yang Yinglong's rebellion, so we must continue to increase our troops.
If the recruits recruited by the Fifth Master cannot be effectively trained, they will not be able to exert sufficient combat effectiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to be able to send an instructor with extremely high military literacy back to train them.
Therefore, when the third uncle cannot leave Guiyang City, only Battalion Commander Pang, you, can take on this important task, not even Miss Jinzhu. "
"You don't need to explain so much, battalion commander. I understand what you mean." Pang Feihong agreed simply, "As long as a new battalion commander can be selected to take over my place, I will return to Chang'an Town as soon as possible."
Zhu Renxia added: "I think it is most suitable for Xu Le to succeed Battalion Commander Pang and serve as the battalion commander of the second battalion."
The three people nodded one after another: "In terms of qualifications, merit, and ability, Company Commander Xu is indeed the first choice. He is indeed the best candidate to take over as the commander of the Second Company."
"Then it's settled!"
Zhu Renxia smiled happily and said, "Third uncle, when you go back, tell Xu Le your decision and ask him to choose a candidate to succeed him as company commander. Then rush to the barracks as quickly as possible to handle the handover with Battalion Commander Pang matters."
Jiang Guanjun nodded: "It's okay to let Xu Le take over as the commander of the second battalion, but I think the mayor, as the head coach of the Chang'an Army, should go to the army and announce it in person. Only then will the officers of the other five companies be convinced by him. "
"What Third Uncle said makes sense, then I will rush to the barracks in person tomorrow morning to announce the appointment."
Zhu Renxia took the case and made a decision, "I have ordered the cook to prepare dinner. Let's practice it for Battalion Commander Pang tonight."
Jiang Guanjun smiled and said, "It's already dinner time. Even if you kick us out, we won't leave."
"Haha... I am the magistrate of Guiyang County, how can I ignore the food? I am not that stingy." Zhu Renxia laughed dumbly and made an invitation gesture, "Please follow me, let's go to the banquet living room together."
Jiang Guanjun refused to leave: "Although we have finished talking about business matters, we haven't talked about private matters yet. It won't be too late to go to the banquet after we finish talking about private matters."
Zhu Renxia looked puzzled: "What private matter? Why don't I understand what the third uncle is referring to?"
