The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 178 Here Comes!
Guanying Town used to be an important road junction from the hinterland of Dazheng to Wazhou City. The commercial routes from Qinzhou, whether taking river roads or mountain roads, had to pass through here, and it was very prosperous.The post station here is very large. After Yungu's army entered the official camp, the post station was requisitioned as a temporary city lord's palace.

Song Yingkui, who was staying in the temporary city lord's palace, was very worried now. In addition to the lack of soldiers and men, there was another thorny issue. Where would the official city lord's palace be located in the future?
From the perspective of local management, it is best to place the city lord's palace in Taoyang Town, the original seat of Didao County.But from the perspective of defense against the North, Guanying Town is located at the forefront, and being stationed here is conducive to responding to sudden changes in the enemy's situation at any time.Another worrying place is actually the fifth battalion. The fifth battalion is the foundation of the Yungu Army and must not cause any problems.Whether they are resident in the official camp or in Taoyang, it is difficult to take care of the fifth camp.

It is more than 130 miles to Taoyang by taking the Shipingguan road. It takes two full days to walk normally, and half a day to ride a fast horse.The fifth camp is about a hundred miles away from the official camp, which is also a day or two away.With such a long distance, it is very slow to send an urgent message, let alone mobilize troops to return reinforcements.No wonder Wuying and Didao are two counties. Dazheng certainly did not divide them for no reason when he divided the administrative areas. Now that the Yungu Army wants to manage them as one county, all kinds of inconveniences arise.

Why!There is still no reliable person under his command. If there are one or two people who can lead the army independently, there will be less worries.The only people around who have the qualifications to lead an independent army are Sanshu and Yang Shunan, but neither of them has ever led an army to fight a big battle alone, so they feel very unreasonable when using them!
After thinking about it again, Song Yingkui felt that he might be too worried about gains and losses. He wanted to take everything and not lose anything. Isn't this a proper miser character?Everyone is trained, how can anyone know that he has this ability without experiencing it?If others have never led troops independently and are afraid of causing trouble, then what they do is just crossing the river by feeling the stones.

After much deliberation, Song Yingkui decided to leave the official camp to his third uncle, so he asked Song Yingxiao to send someone to call Song Xueliang over and said, "Third uncle, I am going to appoint you as the head of the garrison of the Yungu military camp." , lead two battalions and a gun and artillery brigade to garrison the official camp. When the situation is urgent, the second battalion of cavalry stationed in Manwa can also be called to assist in the battle."

When Song Xueliang rushed to Didao, he thought his nephew was going to ask about the training situation of the new recruits. After hearing this, he was stunned for a while and then said, "Can I hold the official camp?" He was not so confident in his ability.

"Focus on defense. If the enemy force is too strong, lead your troops back to the Fifth Battalion to defend. While you are defending, you should also make arrangements and training to prevent others from blocking you when you withdraw. The Fifth Battalion is our home. That's the place to defend." Faced with his pure family, Song Yingkui's words were very straightforward, mainly because he was afraid that his third uncle would be confused.

"Do you want to go back to the fifth camp?"

"Go to Taoyang. From now on, the city lord's government will be located in Taoyang." After thinking about it, Song Yingkui felt that it would be most appropriate to locate the center in Taoyang.Compared with the small fifth battalion, Taoyang and Didao should be the core areas of Yungu Army in the future.

"I'm afraid it won't work if there are no trustworthy people over there at the Fifth Camp!" Song Xueliang naturally knew the importance of the Fifth Camp. Song Yingkui was not there, and most of the soldiers and horses were not there either. This was very dangerous.

"Let Uncle Yang lead a cavalry battalion and two garrison brigades to guard the fifth battalion. As for strengthening the fifth battalion's defense strength, I have been thinking about other methods recently. The fifth battalion is very important, but running Didao well is the long-term goal. Plan, I have to go over and keep an eye on it in person. When you are leading the troops in the official camp, there is one thing you cannot slack off on, and that is reading and literacy. Our family is gaining momentum now, but this will definitely not work if no one has read seriously. No matter how hard you go, you have passed the test of reading and literacy. If you can't learn more than [-] words in half a year, I will have to find a way to replace it with someone else!"

Only when a person reaches the actual position can he know whether he is capable or not.Song Xueliang and Yang Shunan were the only two people who could possibly bear the burden. Song Yingkui thought of putting the burden on them first to see.Yang Shunan's shortcomings are not many. He is at least literate and has martial arts skills, and he has been leading troops in the past few years. What is relatively worrying is his ability to fight independently, and how many years he can still use it as he is older. !
As for the third uncle, the biggest problem is that his literacy is not good enough, and he may only be able to recognize a few hundred characters.As a general who leads troops independently, his literacy level is definitely not good enough. He cannot even handle normal official documents and military orders alone.He must feel the pressure and solve the literacy problem as soon as possible.

On the eighth day of September in the fourth year of Jingli, the main palace of Yungu City was officially established to govern Taoyang Town, Didao County, and a document was issued to inform the people throughout the territory to show its sovereignty.

Taoyang Town is the seat of Didao County Government, and there are ready-made office spaces available.After arriving in Taoyang Town, Song Yingkui immediately started work.

"Uncle, now we have officially opened a government office in Taoyang. From now on, [-]% of the operating income of factories under the jurisdiction of the military will be transferred to the administrative government as tax for unified use. The income and expenditure of the city lord's treasury and the financial treasurer are divided. , but unified management. The income from the factory is the key to supporting the army and building industry, and the administrative department cannot stay away from factory matters.

Let me talk about some specific arrangements for the factory: Wuying and Taoyang towns will be the main areas for factory construction in the next two to three years.The stone and clay factory at the Fifth Battalion will be further expanded, and other factories will also be expanded. In the future, a new ordnance factory for the main ordnance used in the army will be produced in the Fifth Battalion.Here in Taoyang, we must first build a large iron factory, and also build new factories for civilian use such as spinning. Priority will be given to Taoyang.

The top priority for the administrative office is to designate a special area for building a factory near the river in the town.The land must be flat and large. If there are people living on the site where the factory is built, they must be relocated elsewhere. "Calling his second uncle, Song Yingkui briefly talked about the plan to build a factory and the need for the administrative department to cooperate with the land acquisition and relocation of the people.

"City Lord, a lot of refugees have flowed into our territory recently. When we build a new factory, can we give priority to recruiting these people as workers?" Jiang Yunjin is worried about what to do with the refugees who have flowed in these days?As soon as he heard that Song Yingkui was going to build a large factory, he immediately had an idea.

Are there any refugees entering the country?Is there such a good thing?Isn't this when sleepiness meets the pillow?Song Yingkui asked eagerly: "Have people come to our territory? Where did they come from? How many are there approximately?"

"There are indeed a lot of people coming. There are thousands of people from Wuying, and there are also many from Taoyang and Huichuan. The total may exceed [-]. They mainly come from Wazhou, Yuyuan, Longyou and other places. Xiang The thieves are worse than Xi Fan. During this time, didn't they fight against Xi Fan in the Wazhou area? But they suffered a lot for the people. Basically all the surplus food in their homes was confiscated by them, and the strong men were also arrested by them to serve as signers. There was no The people who have a chance to survive can only run to our Yun Valley!"
