Chapter 165 Fugu Army Adjustment (Part )

Zhenming Army, Governor's Mansion.

Lin Feng was looking through the documents submitted by various departments in the public room. Li Rushi was helping to sort them out, occasionally bringing tea and water.

After reading a volume of official documents, Lin Feng stretched and said, "Xiao Shi, I am now a traitor to the imperial court. Are you afraid of following me?"

"Don't be afraid. Brother Lin is a rebel, and I am the rebel's wife." Once the girl had a close relationship, she immediately became more relaxed.

As the saying goes, father and son go into battle.

Lin Feng has started a rebellion, and he must use his closest relatives as well. He has no father, but his sister and future wife can be absolutely trusted.

Now Lin Wanyu and Li Rushi have come to the Secretary's Department of the Governor's Mansion. Both women are well versed in writing and helping Lin Feng with some paperwork.

Lin Wanyu is mainly responsible for handling the relevant documents submitted by the group, and Li Rushi is responsible for handling the documents submitted by the Zhenming Army.

They are responsible for categorizing the documents. Long documents can be summarized and then delivered to Lin Feng for review. Sometimes we also do some data statistics and correlation analysis.

It's not very difficult, but it's about mastering the core secrets, so it's very suitable for the two of them to do it.

At this time, Guo Zheng knocked on the door and walked in. Li Rushi consciously avoided the small room outside the public room. She paid great attention to this area.

"Guo Zheng is here. Is there any new information?" Lin Feng asked.

"Sir, there is news from Jiazhou. After Zhuang Hong, the guerrilla in Yulin City, was defeated outside the city, he ran to Yan'an Guard and reported the news about our revolt. It is estimated that Xi'an has received the news now." Guo Zhenghui reports.

"It's natural for the news to spread. We can't hide the fact that we raised troops for a long time. How are Chen Xiong and the others in Zhoucheng?" Lin Feng continued, he was already prepared for the news to spread.

"When the state government learned that our Fugu was revolting, it immediately went to the original Jiazhou branch to search and prepare to arrest people. Fortunately, your Excellency had made arrangements in the early stage. Chen Xiong and Cao Qiang had moved to the new location, the original shop. It was also sold. The people from the state government thought we had evacuated long ago, so they stopped searching later." Guo Zheng continued to report.

"You send someone to send a message to Chen Xiong and ask them to reopen a store that seems to have nothing to do with us, as a cover for your Jiazhou Intelligence Station.

At the same time, he secretly developed his strength and purchased the urgently needed materials here, especially grain and saltpeter, etc. to be transported to Fugu. " Lin Feng arranged.

"Understood! The message transmission is a bit slow now. It would be great if it could match the Bailitong from last time." Guo Zheng is still obsessed with this artifact.

"Jiazhou is too far away, and Bailitong can't use it, and it can't replenish energy. But this communication is indeed a big problem, and we need to study the solution in the next step. You guys, let's transmit the information according to the existing method. " Lin Feng said.

"understand!"

"Is there any news from Xi'an?"

"No, even if there is news over there, it will take ten and a half months. I asked the intelligence officer who delivered the letter to Lord Jingbo of the Governor's Mansion to stay there to inquire about the news." Guo Zhenghui reported.

In ancient times, transportation was really slow. It was nearly a thousand kilometers from Fugu to Xi'an. It would take half a month to make one trip every day without stopping.

If it is a large army, it will be even slower, and it will not arrive for a month. So now Lin Feng is not too worried about the sudden arrival of the imperial court's counter-rebellion army.

He attacked Yulin City in mid-March. The news would not reach Xi'an until the end of March at the earliest. If the army was assembled again, even if everything went well, it would not be until the end of April.

Looking at the whole of April in this way, there is basically no need to worry about the attack of the imperial army. Even if there is a small army belonging to the Yan'an Guard, it does not pose much of a threat.

Therefore, the military strategy formulated at that time to annihilate the main force of the Yulin Guards was so important. Otherwise, Fugu would raise his flag to rebel, and the Yulin Guards' troops would be able to come over and quell the rebellion within ten days.

Lin Feng thought for a while and then said: "You continue to strengthen intelligence collection, especially in the direction of Yan'an Prefecture. If there is a gathering of imperial troops, early warning information must be provided in a timely manner."

"Yes!" Guo Zheng took the order and left.

After Guo Zheng left, Lin Feng sat on a chair and began to think about how to adjust the troops in Fugu. Last time we were in Shenmu, we sorted out the troops there and set up the Shenmu Combat Battalion to coordinate the defense forces of the defense line.

At yesterday's group meeting, it was decided to transfer Fang Dashan's first escort battalion to Zhenming Group as the group's exclusive force to protect commercial operations.

The troops currently deployed here mainly include Fang Tiezhu's first garrison battalion, Zhou Rui's second garrison battalion and Hongtu's first cavalry battalion.

Not only are these armies insufficient in strength, they are also deployed very scatteredly. From Fugu to Zhenqiangbao, they are still far apart, making it inconvenient to support each other.

We must follow the same direction as Shenmu, step up the reorganization of the army and further expand our troops to cope with the rapidly developing situation.

Before leaving for Yulin City, Lin Feng had told Su Shunnian to organize the county government to step up military recruitment. He didn't know how their recruitment was going.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Just as Lin Feng was thinking about it, Lin Jiakang led Su Shunnian in.

When Su Shunnian came in, he saluted and said, "Congratulations, sir, on your great victory in Yulin City, annihilating the main force of Yulin Guards, and taking Shenmu County."

This old official has always been timid. He was frightened at the beginning of the rebellion and felt a little forced to board the ship. Now that he heard these good news, he immediately felt relaxed all over.

"Shunnian, let's not say any polite words. How is the situation at the county government?" Lin Feng asked.

"Everything is going well in the county government. After your Excellency captured Yulin City, we released the news of raising troops. The vast majority of people in the county government supported your Excellency. Even Jia Yonggui from the military office and Chen Jianli from the official office came to me and said: I want to conquer the world with you." Su Shunnian replied.

"These two are quite shrewd, so let's put them to the test first. Where are the others? Do you have any objections?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"It's true that the old scholar Han from the ceremonial room scolded you for being rebellious and disrespectful, saying that he was determined not to associate with you. Do you want to arrest him?" Su Shunnian asked for instructions.

"Forget it, a rotten scholar can't make any waves. Just remove him from his position as an official and let him fend for himself." For a poor scholar who poses no threat, Lin Feng still has a certain tolerance for others.

"Your Excellency is so magnanimous!" Su Shunnian praised.

"Tolerance depends on everything. Just let him go as he says. If there are any attempts to damage our valley, we won't let him go." Lin Feng then warned.

"Understood!" Su Shunnian replied.

"By the way, how was your county government's military recruitment organized some time ago?" Lin Feng asked.

"I was about to report to your Excellency that the people in Fugu support our Zhenming Army very much. The news about our porridge relief work spread last winter, and a lot of refugees came here.

Our county government has recruited 1,500 new soldiers and has asked the First Guard Battalion to organize training. "Su Shunnian replied.

"Very good! Are the county government funds sufficient now?"

"It's very sufficient. The 1.5 taels collected from last autumn's tax are still in the warehouse. In the first quarter, a total of more than 5000 taels were collected from commercial taxes. This time, 4000 taels were used for the recruitment, and there is still a balance of 1.6 taels."

"This money will be managed by the county government first. One is used to continue to recruit soldiers at a rate of 1,000 people every month; the other is used to improve people's livelihood and improve the facilities in the county.

There is also an additional bonus of 1-3 taels for county government officials every quarter according to their levels. However, the supervision and assessment of county government officials must be strengthened. Those who take credit for everything and bend the law for personal gain must be severely dealt with. Those with poor evaluations cannot be paid. Reward salary. "Lin Feng clarified the purpose of the money.

Now that the Minzhuang Team has become independent, the county government can only have 2 people at most. Based on 400 taels per capita, and a quarterly bonus of to taels per person, Lin Feng feels no pressure.

"Thank you for your concern for the county government officials. I also think it is good. As long as you do your job with all your heart, additional rewards will be given out every quarter, which will definitely greatly stimulate everyone's enthusiasm." Su Shunnian said.

"Okay, then hurry up and implement it." Lin Feng explained.
