Chapter 444: The world is in chaos, only strength is the guarantee of safety
Chapter 444
"I also agree. I really can't trust the court officials in other counties. The only one who can be trusted is Yang Juncheng."
"In that case, we should show off our momentum and walk all the way to Jiangdu County."
"Is this possible?" After hearing Su Yong's suggestion, the dozens of leaders of the eight thousand bandit soldiers couldn't help but be a little confused.
"Why can't it be done?" Su Yong chuckled. "Otherwise, how can we ask for food from those county magistrates and governors?"
"No, what if by chance, after our eight thousand brothers arrive in Jiangdu County, what if Yang Juncheng really regrets it?"
"General Su, you are still smarter. That's right. In this way, we don't have enough food and we don't have to rob it anymore."
"If you want to come to the counties of Wujun, they will definitely not be in trouble in order for our eight thousand troops to leave as soon as possible. Maybe we can even give you some food and drink."
"Okay, then let's do this. Send an order to all brothers and tell them that we don't have to hide like this anymore. People are not like humans and ghosts are not like ghosts."
As the leaders returned to their respective teams, cheers soon spread.
Of course, it is not that they have no intention of resisting, or that they are dreaming of becoming the next Liu Yuanjin die-hard.
However, their heads were soon cut off by those peace-loving subordinates, and then they happily carried their dead heads to the counties to ask for surrender.
The counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River were harassed by bandits and bandits and complained incessantly.
Now, I was surprised to find that these guys actually took the initiative to surrender and expressed to the government that they were willing to surrender.
What is even more shocking is that there are some groups of bandits who are too powerful and want to surrender to nearby counties.
As a result, the other party was so frightened that they could only cautiously take out some food and invite them to go to Jiangdu County.
After all, there are only tens of thousands of people in a small county town, but in the end, thousands of gangsters came to ask for surrender. What if these guys were asking for surrender in the name of surrender, but in fact they wanted to rob the county town.
So what should we do?
As a result, the officials of various counties and counties made the decision almost immediately, since it was you, Yang Juncheng of Jiangdu County, who made the notice and made the promise.
Then please go to Jiangdu and ask Jiangdu County Magistrate to surrender. Bosses, don't worry, we can give you what you have nothing to eat, and we can even show you the way.
But you want us to open the door, haha... I'm sorry, this county is not responsible for this work.
In the end, those bandits and bandits from various places in the south of the Yangtze River tried to stop Nanshan, correct their evil ways, and repent and start a new life.
With no choice but to curse, they gathered together and headed towards Jiangdu County.

Yang Qian didn't have much hope at first. After all, such an act as swearing to the Buddha would only get countless pairs of white eyes and countless middle fingers in future generations.
However, what Yang Qian did not expect was that within seven days, a group of hundreds of thieves took the initiative to surrender at Yanling City.
And they were one of the bandits who fled after the battle at Yanlingzha.
Next, news and official documents were received from all over the country almost every day, and batches of thieves and bandits came out into the sunshine one after another.
Rushing towards Jiangdu County, there were as few as a hundred or as many as thousands of people, especially the bandit soldiers from the Yancheng area of Wu County who were willing to surrender to the court, reaching more than 8,000 people.
"Goose, be good, there are so many. It's okay if you don't count them in detail. If you count them in detail, there are a total of fifty thousand."
"And these are almost all young and strong thieves. Fortunately, if Brother Wuji hadn't thought of such a move, I really don't know what the consequences would have been."
"But with so many thieves gathered together, will there be any more trouble?"
"That's true. Now, the renovations of Jiangdu Palace and Yang Palace are nearing completion."
"The more than 8,000 young men can be allowed to participate in the construction of the Town of Repentance. But if another 50,000 young men come, how will they be arranged?"
"If we want to detain them all, then we have to use at least half of our troops to do this."
Listening to the discussion of the people around him, Yang Qian couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Now, there are already 70,000 to 80,000 people settled near Jiangyang City. It would seem a bit wasteful to detain another 50,000 young people.
But right now, there are no suitable projects for them to do. Is it possible to really release them all back to their hometowns?
Don't forget, Yang Qian swore an oath to the Buddha in front of so many people and monks, so he will definitely have to bear the consequences.
What if these guys come back to their place, rebel, and cause chaos again? I believe that countless officials will jump out to impeach Yang Qian.
"Training troops." Li Xiuning, who was behind Yang Qian, was wiping the ring sword in his hand with a clean towel and said two words.
#####
"Training troops?" Yang Qian was stunned.
"Train troops to stabilize Jiangnan." Li Xiuning met Yang Qian's gaze and said again.
"My sister is right." Li Shimin exclaimed excitedly. "Rather than let these guys go back to their hometown to cause trouble, or detain them and waste money and food."
"It's really better to train these young men into an army. If we, Jiangdu County, can have a strong army."
"That can completely control Fujiangdu County and even the surrounding counties."
"That's right. Thank you, Third Lady." Brother Qin also nodded in agreement.
"We currently have no more than 26,000 troops, which is enough to guard Jiangdu County.
But if the Jiangnan counties are in chaos again, with our current military strength, we will definitely lose sight of one thing."
"What's more, since the surrounding counties are not willing to take over this hot potato and want you to take it over, Zijing, shouldn't they also express their feelings?"
"If you have soldiers in your hands, you will not panic. Now that the world is in chaos, only strength can guarantee safety."
Yang Qian nodded in agreement, smiled gratefully at Li Xiuning, stood up and walked around in the hall.
"If we have enough troops, we can at least keep the peace in Jiangnan."
Changsun Wuji laughed, but his smile looked rather strange.
"Nowadays, the Central Plains is in chaos and wars are rising everywhere. The imperial court has sent large armies to pacify the country, but it is difficult to see its effectiveness.
Zijing, on the other hand, can use the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River to support the powerful soldiers in the Jianghuai River and wait for the opportunity..."
"This is exactly how it should be."
"I also think it should be so."
"Your Majesty won't let us send troops to the Central Plains, so we will just develop and accumulate strength in this land south of the Yangtze River."
Yang Qian nodded in agreement, but the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
