The governors of the other three counties were dissatisfied with Zhang Yi, so they negotiated peace with Ding Nanjing again and jointly besieged Zhang Yi.
In the end, Ding Nanjing successfully suppressed the rebellion, and the four counties of Xiangnan were returned to his rule, and then were gradually integrated by Ding Nanjing.
As for Wangchen County, Ding Nanjing chose Wei Han, who was relatively easy to control, as the county magistrate and sent his own confidant to serve as deputy.
Thanks to Ding Nanjing's efforts and the death of Wei Han, Wangchen County is now the place where the power of the governor is most concentrated among the four counties and where the county has the least to worry about factional issues.
Based on this, Chen Yunxuan can be said to have a stage to show his talents.
But the problem is that the military strength of Wangchen County is too weak and needs to be strengthened.
"Sir, in my opinion, we should focus on the army in the future." Feng Zibang once again emphasized the current problems in Wangchen County.
Chen Yunxuan nodded, agreeing with the other party's opinion: "Yes, Lord Ding also gave me an order, requiring me to reorganize the military equipment as soon as possible and eliminate Zhang Pan."
"Zhang Pan's forces are now gradually growing stronger, and they should indeed be eliminated as soon as possible." Feng Zibang nodded.
To win a battle, you must have a reliable army.
Judging from the current army of Wangchen County, its quality is really too poor.
To this end, it is necessary to cut down its existing army, and then there will be military guarantees to eliminate Zhang Yifang.
Chen Yunxuan specially held a meeting to discuss how to rectify the military system.
At the meeting, Lin Tongxi was the first to express his thoughts: "Everyone, the rectification of military equipment involves too many things. We must divide the work and cooperate with each other. Only in this way can we carry out the task assigned to us by Lord Ding."
"Prime Minister Chen and I have already discussed the initial plan. It consists of three parts: recruiting new soldiers, reforming the military system, and reducing incompetent soldiers."
Although it is said to be three parts, it is actually three steps.
It is necessary to cultivate one's own power in the army so that Chen Yunxuan and others can better implement military system reform and streamline the military and government.
"Prefect Chen will be in charge of recruiting soldiers, County Magistrate Feng will be responsible for communication and coordination, Commandant Yue will be responsible for specific implementation, and Ye Moqing will be responsible for government affairs support..."
After the meeting at the county government, Lin Tongxi and Chen Yunxuan assigned tasks to other members of the team.
Chen Yunxuan is responsible for overall coordination, Lin Tongxi is responsible for publicity, Yue Lingyun is responsible for leading the troops, Ye Moqing is responsible for paperwork, Su Ruoxue is responsible for medical care, Shen Xingyao is responsible for review, and A Xiu is responsible for logistics.
As for Xiaojiu, who had reached the age, he was arranged to join the army as a new recruit.
Xiaojiu is the youngest among the group. Under the guidance of Chen Yunxuan, Yue Lingyun and others, his combat power has reached the level of a sixth-grade warrior, enough to join the army.
After many matters were arranged, the recruitment notice was posted in various places.
…
At night, in a small tavern, several strong men were drinking.
"Alas... the escort agency has been disbanded. What should we do in the future?" Li Song took a big sip of wine and couldn't help but sigh.
"The shopkeeper and the chief escort were such good people...but they died just like that. It's so unfair." Zhao Gongliang missed his two former leaders.
The Huming Escort Agency was once one of the best escort agencies in Xiangzhou, and many bandits would give it face.
However, under such circumstances, the Huming Escort Agency was attacked during a mission, and Manager Tong and Chief Escort Gong were killed on the spot.
If Manager Tong had not gone, the escort agency could still continue to operate.
However, Manager Tong happened to be going to Xiangjiang County, so he joined the escort mission.
This dart is not particularly valuable, and the Huming Escort Agency is well-known, so there shouldn't be any problems.
But the reality is always magical. Escorting such a small escort mission actually led to the death of two leaders of the escort agency!
And the most bizarre thing is that the murderer could not be found at all, and the Huming Escort Agency should not have made any enemies.
In any case, after this incident, Madam Tong announced the disbanding of the escort agency today and hurriedly ordered everyone to pack their luggage and prepare to leave Wangchen County.
With the disbandment, the people under the escort agency suddenly lost their jobs, such as Li Song and Zhao Chong.
"How about we come with me to the Cheng family and be security guards? I heard they are hiring." Wu Chong suggested.
"Although I can earn a lot of money by getting married...but it would be against my conscience to take the money. I'd better go back to the countryside to farm." Sun Xun'an shook his head. He had seen too many ups and downs over the years and just wanted stability.
"Farming in the countryside is not suitable for me. I plan to do some small business. I have finally managed to survive in the county." Li Song shared his next plan.
"This... doesn't seem to suit us, Zhaoshan, what do you think?" Zhao Gongliang looked at Wei Zhaoshan who was silent in the corner.
Unlike the others, Wei Zhaoshan just kept drinking, trying to numb himself with alcohol.
The pressure on him was too great. His whole family was waiting for money from him, and the countryside had suffered a flood and he needed money to build a house.
"Me? I don't know either." Wei Zhaoshan's face was red from drinking, but he was still conscious.
Just then, the waiter from the tavern came over.
"Sir, I'd like to give you two plates of peanuts."
"Also, I hear you're all looking for a way out. Why don't you consider a recruitment order?"
"The new County Magistrate Chen has recently been recruiting soldiers, saying he wants to eliminate evil bandits and maintain peace."
"The treatment mentioned here is not bad. You can take a look."
Zhao Gongliang took the recruitment order and responded to the waiter: "Okay, let's take a look."
The waiter handed out a few recruitment notices with a friendly look on his face. After seeing that several people accepted them, he left with a smile.
Wei Zhaoshan took a look at the recruitment order and found that as long as he went there and registered the conditions, he would get a sum of money.
Even after joining the army, the treatment is much better than that of bodyguards, and families will also be given corresponding benefits.
But does the county magistrate really mean what he says? Will he take a little here and a little there, and then be left with nothing?
But no matter what... these conditions really made Wei Zhaoshan excited.
"Brothers, what do you say?" Zhao Gongliang looked at the others.
Wei Zhaoshan put down his wine glass and shouted, "I'll take it!"
