Chapter 222 The question is... Who is willing to be sold?

Everyone knew why Brother Amutong dared to ignore the new state Daruhachi. Because Brother Amutong was the great-grandson of Aku, one of Temujin’s 88 founding officials.

Chigu ranked 82nd among the eighty-eight heroes, and belonged to Qianhu Nayan's top rank. Amu Tong Ge is a real Mongolian nobleman. So he had not made any achievements at a young age and had not yet achieved his official position in Daluhuachi, Rongcheng County.

Generally speaking, the county yamen and the prefecture yamen are in the same city, so the county magistrate is still like a young wife? But because Brother Amu Tong has different identities, it is an exception. Even the previous state Daluhuachiharitu was polite to him.

In this state city, it is the turn of power and status. Brother Amu Tong, who is the seventh-rank official, is not under the fourth-rank Master Huang.

Seeing that Brother Amu Tong looked disgusted with him, Li Luo was also angry, but he did not have an attack on the spot. He was not so irritable.

Maybe Brother Amu Tong wishes to have an attack on himself, and then he can take the opportunity to prevent himself from coming to Taiwan.

Brother Amu Tong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when he saw that Li Luo was not angry, but felt even more contemptuous.

He stroked the back of his head, which was shaved and ugly, and looked at Li Luo with a provocative look, and snorted coldly.

Humph, it’s a joke that a coward in Goryeo could actually be a Daruhachi in Yizhou. What’s even more hateful is that this person is not older than him, how can he convince him?

Is the world big? Big? But no matter how big the world is, it is also our Mongolians. How qualified is a mere Korean boy to climb onto my head?

Even if this person is a princeling, so what? There are so many people in the prince. If others take it seriously, Brother Amu Tong doesn’t care.

Li Luo drank two glasses under the toasts of the officials, stopped the glass and said, "The prince ordered me to come to Ninghaizhou to do this Daluhuachi, and he clearly told me that there were three things to do. Just entrust other official duties to you. I must be at ease. Everything will be as usual and there is no need to report to me."

Huang Zhizhou and others suddenly felt relieved. Not only did the guards want to delegate power, but they also expressed their intention not to seek trouble.

Very good.

Otherwise, if you really want to pursue it, who can be here without any mistakes?

Suddenly, their smiles became much more sincere.

However, what are those three things? Everyone was a little nervous. Brother Amu Tong is not afraid of Li Luo, but they can't do it.

Li Luo put down his wine glass and smiled, "It was also three important things that should have been done long ago. Last year, Han Gong, the Haibing rebel, attacked and killed the imperial envoy in Dengzhou. Do you all know?"

Huang Zhizhou said: "This incident was a big deal at that time. The emperor issued a strict order to the coastal prefectures and counties, and ordered the navy to go out to sea to arrest it, but it was impossible to find it. Fortunately, a few months ago, Han Gong had been killed by the Goryeo Navy and was offered the capital."

Li Luo said: "I was in the Goryeo army at that time. This sea rebel Han Gong was the one who led his troops to kill him."

What? Everyone was shocked. It turned out that Hai Ni Han Gong actually died at the hands of the New Town Officer!

Han Gong was a thief on the sea and colluded with Japanese pirates. He landed on land and killed many times over the years. Even the Mongols hated him to the core, but they couldn't find his nest and could not do anything. Unexpectedly, Li Luo solved it.

Brother Amu Tong could understand Chinese. When he heard that Hai Ni Han Gong was killed by the Goryeo boy in front of him, his momentum was frustrated.

Li Luo continued: "Now that the Japanese know that the Yuan Dynasty is about to conquer them, many people are retaliated. They collude with pirates and intend to harass the coast. Therefore, the first thing the prince told to do is to guard against Japanese pirates. If we are careless, maybe one day the pirates in the brigade will appear under the city and attack them and kill them all."

Everyone suddenly became solemn, even Brother Amu Tong was a little serious.

Pirates attack coastal prefectures and counties and kill in large numbers every year, which is not an exaggeration. Although the Mongolian army is strong, it is afraid of the sea and can't deal with pirates.

Their lives and money they plundered are all in the city. What if they are captured by pirates?

"This is why the prince still handed over the thousand-household waters to my official. Without the trust of the prince, how can I take charge of the military and political affairs of a state? Therefore, I must be serious about preventing pirates and preparing for Japanese devils. If anyone makes mistakes in this matter, I will not follow it."

Huang Zhizhou and others stood up and expressed their opinions: "What the guardians say is very true. How dare we act rashly in such a major event? The guardians only care about the overall arrangements, and we will follow everything." Only Brother Amutong still sat upright and could not move.

Li Luo was very satisfied with everyone's attitude and smiled and said, "Sit, sit, sit!" Then he looked solemn, "The second thing is to suppress the thieves."

"I heard that there are more than a dozen thieves in the state, and the two largest gangs actually have hundreds of people, occupying mountains and becoming kings, and even dare to rob and throw themselves into territory. They are so arrogant. Do you ignore them and let them go?"

The scalper had to stand up and smile bitterly, "Good instructors know that those two groups of big bandits occupy the mountains and are easy to defend but difficult to attack. They are free and happy on the mountain. There are only hundreds of soldiers in this state. How can I suppress it? If I don't care."

Judge Chen Xi also stood up and covered the magistrate: "The officials who returned to the garrison, the two major bandits have sent troops to suppress the two men, but they died, and the number of troops was damaged, but they were futile."

Li Luo sneered: "That's the incompetent inspector who leads the army! I don't believe it. If a warrior who knows how to fight, he will not be able to destroy the bandits with hundreds of troops! Everyone, only by knowing people and making good use of them can we accomplish things. Are there no brave officials in this state who are good at fighting?"

A brave official who is good at fighting?

After hearing this, everyone looked at Brother Amutong at the same time.

They don’t know whether Brother Amu Tong is good at fighting, but they know that Brother Amu Tong has always claimed to be brave and loves archery and war, and also likes to kill people.

If you really want to find a brave official, who else can be there except Brother Amu Tong here?

Brother Amu Tong couldn't help feeling proud when he saw everyone looking at him.

You cowards tremble when you see the bandit. If I, Brother Amutong, take action, what are hundreds of bandits?

Brother Amu Tong wanted to lead troops to wipe out bandits more than once, but there were only hundreds of Zao Li in his county and no military power in the state. What should I do to suppress bandits? No matter how confident Brother Amu Tong was, he would not think that those Zao Li could capture the thieves' hamlets.

But at this time, Brother Amu Tong couldn't help but think about it. Is this a good opportunity to make contributions? By the way, he can also get the power of the state military?

Brother Amu Tong didn't like the navy and had no intention of 800 sailors. But he kept thinking about the state soldiers on the land.

Sure enough, when Li Luo saw everyone looking at Brother Amu Tong, he couldn't help but pretend to be surprised and said, "Is Brother Amu Tong a brave man who is good at fighting?"

Brother Amutong could no longer stand up and said proudly in Mongolian language: "I, Brother Amutong, can turn the bandits into my spoils like hunting wild animals. As long as you, the new state guardian, give me the military power in the state."

"Really?" Li Luo said in surprise, "My Brother Amu Tong, your courage makes me happy. You are worthy of being the descendant of the Canglang White Deer, and a Mongolian warrior. But... Brother Amu Tong, can you really do it?"

Brother Amutong touched his chest and said, "I can do it naturally. The guardians are just sitting in their tents. As long as the military power is in my country, I, Brother Amutong, will help you deal with the military affairs in this state in the future."

After hearing this, everyone knew it. Brother Amutong wanted military power in the state. Moreover, he had no respect for the new chief. What does it mean to sit in the tent?

If he was a Han, this would be a big taboo. But he was a Mongolian and there was nothing to say to anyone.

After all, the world belongs to the Mongols.

"With a warrior like Brother Amu Tong, I am naturally willing to sit idle in the yamen. However, Brother Amu Tong, this sword and gun is eyeless. If you fail to suppress the thief and instead be harmed by the thief, it will not be a trivial matter." Li Luo said seriously.

Brother Amu Tong sneered: "The guards don't need to provoke me. It's nothing to die at the hands of bandits like those two incompetent inspectors. We Mongolians are not afraid of death."

He was not stupid, of course he knew that Li Luo wanted to use himself as a knife, but he also wanted to take the opportunity to obtain military power and make military achievements, and he started a great murder. As for the death of the bandits, Brother Amutong never thought about it at all.

Because that's impossible.

"Okay! It's indeed a Mongolian warrior! Since Brother Amutong, you pleaded for such a request, I will agree. Next month, the troops in the state will be handed over to you to lead the troops." Li Luo said happily.

"Then I thank the guards." Brother Amu Tong smiled his chest symbolically and sat down. Since his purpose had been achieved, his face looked a little better.

Li Luo asked the Shuangniu Magistrate: "This state is not considered a navy, but how many troops can be used to suppress thieves on land?"

Huang Buhua replied: "The state inspectors are 500, including 200 horse soldiers; the three counties of Mouping, Rongcheng and Wendeng have more than 200 patrols and archers; the state yamen also has 300 guards, but they mainly defend the city, government offices, and warehouses, and cannot leave the city..."

Li Luo was a little speechless. He had only these soldiers in Shangzhou.

Ninghai Prefecture is a state on three coasts and must be equipped with 800 navy troops. In this way, there will be fewer land soldiers. If it is in the mainland, there will be two thousand official troops available in one state.

In this way, the government troops who could be used to suppress the thieves had to die.

Don’t underestimate the military power of these seven hundred soldiers. In the Yuan Dynasty, the one who could command seven hundred soldiers was already a fifth-rank thousand households.

"Next month to suppress the thieves, I will authorize 700 soldiers to be led by Brother Amutong for the time being." Li Luo made the decision.

Huang Buhua and others thought, in order to suppress the thieves, you, a new guard, actually handed over the military power to Brother Amutong. Once he commanded the troops, wouldn't he be more confident?

Li Luo talked about the third thing again, refugees.

"…If there are many refugees, they will gather people to cause trouble, or even kill officials to rebel. The prince is also very concerned about this matter. Since this official is promoted by the prince, he should do his job according to the prince's wishes."

"In this state, refugees must either be recruited and resettled, driven out of the state, or sold them to sea. Anyway, there will be no refugees in this state."

Huang Zhizhou said: "The guards are recruiting and resettlement personnel, and treating symptoms but not root causes. This is something we all know. It is really difficult to drive refugees out of our state... it is just a matter of just a little military service here."

"This is a way to sell it to the sea... But we don't have overseas channels. Even if we have a channel, the refugees are not slaves, so why are they willing to be sold?"

Everyone also nodded. The refugees have always given them a headache. Trafficking refugees to go overseas is a way to increase their income. But the question is, who is willing to be sold?
