Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 119 Pioneer Officer

(Get up early to update, it will be on the shelves this Friday, please support it then, thank you!)
When he walked out of the county government lobby, Luo Cheng had already become the vanguard officer of Qi County to suppress bandits.

He is now not only the chief arrester of the third class in Zhangqiu County, but also the captain of the Changbai Township regiment. Cheng, the vanguard officer, was more secure, and Zhang Xutuo even made an exception and asked Luo Cheng to temporarily take the post of Zhangqiu county lieutenant.

The county lieutenant is an official position under the eight ranks. Since the Daye Dynasty, the newly appointed county lieutenants are basically imperial examination scholars and Mingjing.

The post of county lieutenant in Zhangqiu County has been vacant for a long time.

Temporarily acting as the county lieutenant, that is also the county lieutenant.

Although some counties have one and some counties have two, in the county government, the county lieutenant is an important official of the county government, and together with the county magistrate, they assist the county magistrate in administration.

In a county, the county magistrate is the chief, responsible for coordinating the government affairs of the whole county.

The county magistrate is the deputy chief, assisting the county magistrate in administration.

The master book is the inspection officer, who is responsible for checking documents and supervising county administration.

The county lieutenant is specifically responsible for the execution of affairs, and his duties include administrative, judicial, financial and other aspects.

If we use a modern organization as an example, then the county magistrate is equivalent to the secretary, the county magistrate is equivalent to the county magistrate, the master book is equivalent to the discipline inspection secretary, and the county magistrate is the executive deputy magistrate.

When there is no county lieutenant in office, the county magistrate of Zhangqiu will be in charge of Liucao.

Zhangqiu County is a county that has not been established for many years, so it needs to be streamlined in all aspects. For example, there are six Caos in Shangxian County, but Zhangqiu County only has two Caos in the judicial department.The counties with six Caos are basically Shangxian and Jingxian, and these counties often have two county lieutenants.

If there is only one county lieutenant, generally the county lieutenant is in charge of the second cao. If there are six county lieutenants and two county lieutenants, the two county lieutenants will each be in charge of the three cao.

The county lieutenant in the Sui Dynasty was very different from the county lieutenant in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The main duty of the county lieutenant in the Song Dynasty was to be responsible for judicial arrest and robbery, which was equivalent to the head of the county public security bureau.

However, the county lieutenants in the Sui Dynasty had many responsibilities. Judicial arrest and robbery, trial of cases, judgment documents, collection of taxes, etc. were all the responsibilities of county lieutenants.

Now that Zhang Xutuo has appointed Luo as the acting county captain, he will temporarily be in charge of the soldiers and law soldiers, while the county magistrate will be in charge of the household warehouse. However, the county magistrate is still under house arrest because he is involved in the anti-thief case, so Luo Cheng, the new acting county lieutenant, is actually helping to manage the general affairs of Liu Cao.

Under the circumstances that the county magistrate and chief secretary are actually unable to be directors, Luo Cheng has become the second in command of Zhangqiu County, second only to the county magistrate Zhang Yichen.

However, the second in command is not so easy to be. Now is a special time to suppress the chaos and bandits, so Zhang Xutuo, the second in command of Qi County, temporarily appointed him to act as the county lieutenant, but whether he can become a regular or not depends on the decision of the court officials. .

In his situation, he has no rank, no rank, and no background. Basically, he is unlikely to become a regular after the chaos is quelled.

Of course, with the temporary official position of county lieutenant, Luo Cheng got an official robe.

A dark blue round-neck gown with black leather boots, a leather belt, and a black official hat.

After wearing it, it really has a bit of official authority.

Although compared with Zhang Yichen's dark green official uniform, it can be seen at a glance, but Luo Cheng likes this blue color quite a bit. He is a little sensitive to green, especially dark green.

County lieutenant and capital lieutenant, so Luo Cheng's men and horses also increased.

Now he has a county barracks with 500 people, plus five township corps with 1000 people, plus 230 people who also serve as the third class of the county government. The number is huge, but the quality is not good enough.

But let's just say, leading the first battalion and the sixth regiment with 700 troops can still scare people.

In order to allow Luo Cheng, a vanguard official, to enter the mountain to fight against the bandits, Zhang Xutuo also specially selected a regiment from the three county barracks directly under the county city for him, and also recruited another team of his personal guards.

In this way, Luo Cheng's men actually had two thousand men.

Zhang Xutuo also gave him a note, with which he could receive ten squadron-level Mingguang Jia and fifty Fubing-level two-dangjia.In addition, he specially drew fifty bows, fifty crossbows, fifty horizontal knives, one hundred spears, one hundred shields, and two hundred spears.

As a vanguard, Luo Cheng needs to lead the team ahead, go deep into the mountains, find out the bandits, and open the way for the army.

He went back to his public room first.

Summon the deputy lieutenants, team leaders, and coaches of the township regiment.

As soon as I told everyone, everyone cheered.

"Are you going to be a county lieutenant now?" Dad was a little surprised.

And Luo Cunxiao pulled Luo Cheng's deep green official robe and looked left and right, envious, "Eight rank official, amazing, county lieutenant."

Everyone is envious of Luo Cheng's appointment as an official, but also full of expectations for themselves.

After all, Luo Chengcheng was promoted to county lieutenant and capital lieutenant, so wouldn't they also rise with the tide.

Zhang Xutuo did indeed give Luo Cheng this right. Regarding the personnel arrangements under him, Zhang Xutuo let him decide on his own, and he could just report it later.

"I don't care about the other things. Let's take someone with me to bring the equipment back."

Ten pairs of Mingguang armor, fifty pairs of Liangdang armor.

Add fifty bows, fifty crossbows, fifty horizontal knives, one hundred spears, one hundred shields, and two hundred spears. This is a drooling equipment.

Even if these equipment were the lowest quality county soldier weapons, they were what Luo Cheng and the others could only dream of.

Especially armors, although only sixty sets of armors were given this time, it was a very generous sum.

Armor, no matter how simple it is, the difference between having armor and not having armor is huge.

The value of a pair of armor is often equivalent to one more life on the battlefield. This is not ordinary armor, it is equivalent to resurrection armor.

There are only a dozen armors in Luo Cheng's army now, that is, ten veterans bring their own armors, and Luo Cheng and his seven people got one armor each when they went to the county to participate in the suppression of bandits last time, so there are seventeen armors in total.

Now there are sixty sets of armors, and the number of armors has been doubled directly.

Think about history, when the wild boar Pi Nurhachi raised his troops, there were only eighteen armors.

Go to the county barracks to get the equipment. The people there have already received the order, and they didn't make it difficult for Luo Cheng. The equipment was even ready.

After careful inspection, it was found that they were indeed weapons of average quality.

Like knives and bows, those armors were even damaged, but they were better than nothing, and everyone didn't dislike them. They counted them one by one, and moved them away like treasures.

In the end, they also sent them a thousand arrows and a thousand crossbow nails, which is equivalent to twenty arrow crossbows for each bow and crossbow.

Lao Jia, the former county soldier captain, rushed over quickly, and he also brought a group of officers above the head of the county barracks over.

"From now on, I am the deputy lieutenant of the county army, and I am your assistant." Old Jia said upon meeting.There was not the slightest bit of displeasure in his tone, he knew how much he weighed, and he used to be the deputy of the county magistrate's personal army, but now he came to lead the county barracks with 500 people, he really had more than enough energy but not enough energy.

He was convinced that Luo Cheng came to be the captain, and he wished he could get rid of the challenge.

"If you have any orders, just say it!"

Luo Cheng glanced at the officers of the county barracks. They were basically brought by Lao Jia from the county, and some of them were subordinates of Lao Jia's former personal guards.

All of them are quite capable, especially they are well equipped, everyone wears armor, all of them have knives, and they still have blood on their bodies.

It's just that these guys were little soldiers before, so although they've seen blood and been trained, it's really not good for them to lead a county barracks composed of newly recruited farmers.

"Meet the captain!" Everyone came over honestly to meet the new Shangguan.

"Hahaha, we are all brothers, please sit down." Looking at these relatively well-equipped county barracks officers, Luo Cheng's mouth almost drooled.
