Chapter 23: Dark Chess

Tang Tiande also told Xu Huaixiang about the thoughts of everyone in the big family in Biyang, including what he and Jin Longquan had heard about the transfer of the deputy envoy Ning Ci, the general judge Gu Zhihui and others who had some criticisms towards the people in Tongbai Mountain.

Xu Huai was not surprised at all, and he had no intention of paying attention to these things at the moment.

Huaiyuan was established as a county and transferred from Tangzhou to Caizhou. No matter how much the people in Biyang had objections to him, the means to restrain him at this time were extremely limited.

Dai Viet rural soldiers are all organized according to household registrations from various places. They do not do farming during the day, but gather for training during the off-farm period. They are also responsible for repairing the city, transporting grain, catching theft, and cooperating with the forbidden army to guard the border. There are many names of rural soldiers from different places, and the organization is not uniform.

, or organized according to the command, capital, or A, team, or according to the capital, security, etc. sequence.

During the more than 150 years since the founding of the Dai Viet Dynasty, land annexation has been serious, and most of the villagers are tenant farmers who are vassalized by wealthy families. The rural officials, controlled by the children of wealthy families, are not only the direct organizers of the training of rural soldiers, but also the

Most of them were leaders of rural soldiers, and they were one of the few people in the countryside who had some culture and knowledge.

These many characteristics determine that the local clans with big surnames are the actual controllers of the rural soldiers.

The imperial court nominally placed all the country's rural soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and various states set up regiment training envoys, but this was just a false title.

Generally speaking, without the cooperation of wealthy families, let alone three days and five days, thirty or fifty days, or three to five months, we cannot successfully assemble two or three thousand rural soldiers in one county.

However, the situation in Tongbai Mountain is special.

The bandit rebellion in Tongbai Mountain actually broke the control of the big surname clans over the village soldiers. At the most critical moment, a total of 3,000 village soldiers in Huaiyuan gathered in the township camp under the jurisdiction of the Inspection Department to participate in the battle against the bandits.

The military generals are no longer headed by Du Bao and senior household chiefs, but by Xu Huai, Xu Wujiang and others who select brave men from among the rural soldiers. Quite a few of these people worked for the army after the bandit rebellion in Jingping.

Fengtang Wuwei.

During the nearly one-year suppression of bandits and rebellion, Xu Huai, Xu Wujiang, Xu Wukun, Tang Pan, Xu Xin'an, Xu Sihu, Yin Peng, Han Qi and others, as the commander-in-chief of the rural camp, established a strong foundation among the soldiers.

To gain sufficient prestige and reputation.

After the bandit rebellion in Jingping, the rural camps were dismantled, and these soldiers were all disarmed and returned to their fields, but they were still the main body of rural soldiers in each village, and no one denied Xu Huai's influence and appeal on these people.

Xu Huai's first task now is to recruit 2,500 rural soldiers as quickly as possible. As long as the clans of the big surnames don't interfere, if anyone dares to step out and interfere, Xu Huai is absolutely willing to snatch some people out and kill Li Wei.

Xu Huai didn't think things would really develop to this point.

He has now spread the word, and the most important thing next is to directly send people to contact the village chiefs and elders, and summon these village soldiers and village warriors directly to Huaiyuan to inspect and select them. He is not afraid that these will still be under the jurisdiction of the new county.

Du Bao, the chief of the household, dare to play any tricks with him.

Subsequently, the inspection department was set up at key passes. Xu Huai even wanted to place the jurisdiction of the villages under the inspection departments, so that the inspection department would have the administrative functions of the township department, and he would further exclude wealthy households with big surnames.

.

Of course, although Tang Tiande does not have many outstanding talents, he is more familiar with Xu Huai and Xu Wujiang in Huaiyuan, so he can still be counted on to help with these two tasks.

It took Tang Tiande a while to figure out a little bit of the clue, but the shock in his heart was too much. Unexpectedly, Xu Huai returned to Tongbai Mountain this time and had arranged everything clearly. It was ridiculous that a group of old turtles in Biyang City were also raped.

Xu Huai was blinded by the illusion of his past.

Tang Tiande pondered for a while and then asked: "Master Jin is also eager to return to Huaiyuan, but he is involved in many things, so he asked me to go first. Since everything is well prepared here, Master Jin doesn't have to worry about anything when he returns to Huaiyuan!"

Xu Huai said: "Master Jin, as long as we are the only ones who know about it at this time, if Master Jin is willing, I would rather he stay in Biyang first!"

For now, Xu Huai is not worried that those in Biyang City can prevent him from fully controlling Tongbai Mountain, but one cannot be without foresight.

His style of conduct and his life experience may have been destined to be jealous of Dai Viet's intricate group of officials. Individuals such as Wang Zhen, Hu Kai, Zhu Hang and even Jing Wang Zhao Tuan could not reverse this.

If Bianliang falls, it is indeed the Duke of Lu, Zhao Guan, who is proclaimed as the new emperor by everyone, and at that time, in order to avoid the disaster of the captives, the new emperor will indeed set up his army in Nanyang, and Jin Longquan will stay in Biyang as a secret chess piece.

Play a more important role than imagined.

Tang Tiande returned to Huaiyuan at night, while Jin Longquan stayed in Biyang, so there was no fear that it would arouse any suspicion.

Since Tang Wenzhong, Tang Lingde and other core figures of the Tang family died in banditry, it was Tang Pan, Tang Qing and other rising stars from the lower house who really shone brightly and rose to prominence.

Tang Tiande's stay in Biyang did not represent the Tang family, and he was even somewhat helpless; so it was not unexpected that he returned to Huaiyuan.

However, the Jin family has a deeper foundation in Biyang. Mr. Jin is also in Biyang. Another core figure of the Jin family, Jin Zhuangcheng, is also in charge of Huangzhou. As a member of the Jin family's Shangfang, Jin Longquan has a certain influence in the eyes of outsiders.

Serving as an official in Biyang has a bright but secure future. It seems very natural that he does not have anything to do with Huaiyuan.

At this time, Tang Tiande thought that Xu Wuqi's identity was not finally exposed until he was a state official and escorted grain and grass to Hedong on Dong Cheng's order. Before that, he had stayed in Xu Wufu's identity as a secret agent, and even lurked around Dong Cheng, the prefect of the state.

Of course, we can understand why Xu Huai wants everyone to keep Jin Longquan's affairs absolutely confidential.

Su Laochang, Zheng Tu and others were a little confused. After all, they didn't know what would happen in the future. They couldn't understand that Huaiyuan was a separate county and merged into Caizhou. It had nothing to do with Tangzhou and Jingnan Road. It was still necessary.

Is there such a deep secret buried in Biyang?

Of course, Xu Huai has made a lot of plans in recent years.

Since he has made this decision, and there is no urgent need for Jin Longquan to come back to Huaiyuan, no one has any objections.

"By the way, does the seventh master Xu Zhongyu have a grandson who is married to a daughter of the Tian family?" Tang Tiande thought of something and asked.

"She is the daughter of Tian Changzhi, the second eldest son of the Tian family. I went on a trip with Xu Wujun yesterday and arranged to get married in the next two days. Master Xu Qi rushed back to Lutai Village overnight to prepare for a banquet." Zheng Tu said.

"This matter may be a bit troublesome. Tian Changzhi took his daughter and fled to Biyang last night. Because of this, many people in Biyang were 'filled with indignation', saying that this was a bride-robbing and bandit style." Tang Tiande said.

"Ah, as we said yesterday, Tian Changzhi, our grandson, dares to fucking mess with us?"

Zheng Tu was so anxious that he jumped up and down. Xu Huai had specially asked him to handle this matter. He didn't expect that something like this would happen. He cursed angrily,

"You son of a bitch, what's going on? The key thing has already been revealed. Now the bride has escaped to Biyang. This joke is a bit big! No, I will take people to Biyang and kill Tian Changzhi's father.

Bring the girl back!"

"You can't arrest someone to steal a bride; if we go too far, Biyang will definitely take the opportunity to intervene." Su Laochang said with a frown.

If they were still in Huaiyuan, they could "use power to bully each other", but now they have all fled to Biyang, making it clear that they will not obey until death. If they really want to send people to Biyang to rob people, they really should be the ones who are in charge of Biyang at this time.

Are deputy envoy Ning Ci, general judge Dong Zhihui and others just decorations?

"Then we can't let Qi Ye's family hold a banquet and then say that the bride is missing?" Zheng Tu said anxiously, "Besides, the military prince hopes that Xu Xin, as a descendant of the Xu family, will get married first and break the bad rules, so that he can return one after another.

The soldiers who returned had settled all the important matters in life as soon as possible, and then prepared for war with peace of mind. Suddenly, this link was missing. If the news spreads, the old naughty people in the mountains will become more and more enthusiastic, and the soldiers want to get married as easily as possible.

ah!"

"..." Tang Tiande saw that Xu Huai's face was gloomy. Xu Wujiang, Xu Wuqi, and Su Laochang all frowned. They should take this matter very seriously, and said with some anxiety, "My lady, originally promised a marriage.

But we haven't gotten married yet. The young man died in a banditry the year before last. In the past two years, I have been thinking about marrying another family, but I couldn't find a suitable one, so I delayed it. If Uncle Xu Qishu doesn't mind, I will take Shu Niang over from Biyang immediately. The way of the world

Everything has changed, we really can’t be so formal!”

"If this thing can happen, you will get a big deal! Xu Xin has changed a lot in the past two years, and it can become a trend,"

Xu Xin's marriage was an introduction for Xu Huai to promote simple marriages for returning soldiers. He didn't care which girl he married, and told Zheng Tu,

"You and the Fifth Master immediately go to Xu Xin and ask him to take a few people to accompany the Fifth Master to Biyang. If he sees that the Fifth Master's daughter is agreeable, he will change the situation and bring her back to get married! At this time, call them

It’s a joke, we will have the opportunity to see what Tian’s intestines look like in the future!”

Xu Huai asked Zheng Tu to make another trip, and also asked him to do some work for Xu Zhongyu's family. Don't get stuck in this matter.

Zheng Tu agreed wholeheartedly, but he hesitated to move when he stood up.

"Is there anything else?" Xu Huai asked curiously, "There will be someone to take care of your affairs for the time being, so you don't have to worry about it becoming a mess."

"I'm not worried about this," Zheng Tu said after hesitating for a while, "Marquis, please don't kill my tigress!"

"I sent you to do something, and you rushed here and there and spent most of your time here, but you are afraid that I will kill someone?" Xu Huai glared at Zheng Tu and urged him to leave quickly, "I will help you take care of your tigress, don't

Chi Chi Wai Wai Wai Wai here!"
