Cultivating immortals, starting from immortality, bright moon toast together

After Zhou Qing left Guo Yunshan, he quickly rode east, but in three days, he arrived at Linjiang Mansion.

At this time, the chaotic uprisings that could be seen everywhere in other prefectures and counties in Xichuan suddenly decreased a lot.

After a little inquiry, I realized that it was not that there were no uprisings here, but that those uprisings had just emerged and were suppressed by the Linjiang clan.

The Linjiang clan is a first-class thousand-year-old family, and this time the Qiang people were in turmoil, and the Su clan did not choose to resist to the end in the face of the forced Western Shu rebels, but bowed down and surrendered.

He dedicated the exercises and divine blood heterogeneity inherited in the clan, and retained the family inheritance.

Therefore, although the Divine Blood Xenomorph was lost, the Su Clan’s strength did not suffer much loss.

Even because of his obedient performance, Su Xun, the current head of the Su family, was appointed by the puppet Shu emperor Li Xiong as the prefect of Linjiang, in charge of the land of a prefecture, and became a feudal official.

In terms of power, it is a little better than before.

But it is precisely because of this that the Su family is now completely tied to the pseudo-Shu, and the pseudo-Shu Xing is Su Shixing, and the pseudo-Shu is the death of the Su family.

Because whether it is the imperial court or the Xichuan martial arts, under the deep hatred, it is impossible to let go of the traitor of the Su family.

And Su Shi also knows this.

Therefore, after discovering that there was a rebellion in the locality, he immediately mobilized the army, and at the same time sent the masters of the clan to suppress the rebellion in the locality.

After killing thousands of people, those who dared to rebel in the local area were almost dead.

The boundary of Linjiang Prefecture is once again as stable as Mount Tai.

“In the end, the Su Clan is the head snake of Linjiang Mansion, and with their full assistance, the foundation of the pseudo-Shu here cannot be shaken. Just some local righteous people can’t make waves at all. ”

Zhou Qing observed all the way in Linjiang Mansion, and finally came to this conclusion, and couldn’t help sighing.

Continuing westward, when he reached the easternmost part of Linjiang Prefecture, he found that the puppet Shu army had returned from Wushan Prefecture, and the forward of the evacuated army had actually arrived here.

It seems that the domestic rebellion finally shook the pseudo-Shu emperor Li Xiong, so that he had to give up the opportunity to take the opportunity to take Wushan Mansion and dominate the entire territory of Xichuan County, and turned back to suppress the rebellion.

Zhou Qing hid in the crowd, watching the pseudo-Shu army marching on the official road, and after watching for a while, he couldn’t help but be even more optimistic about the Qunhao uprising in Xichuan County.

He also led soldiers, although there were not many people, but only a hundred.

But even so, from Zhou Qing’s point of view, although these pseudo-Shu armies are still a little poor, at least the marching array can be lined up neatly, and the soldiers at the bottom can understand some orders, and orders and prohibitions can still be done.

If you have to compare, it is no less than the county soldiers he brought with him, which were composed of mountain people.

And those righteous soldiers who are now rebelling in Xichuan County look at the large number, there are 100,000 people.

But these volunteers are basically only brave, and some were even farmers not long ago. These people don’t talk about marching arrays, and they don’t even listen to orders.

“With this kind of rabble, expecting them to win against the pseudo-Shu army that already has some discipline is simply foolish.”

Zhou Qing couldn’t help but be even more glad at this time, he got out of that fire pit in time.

The army returning from Western Shu had already reached Linjiang Prefecture, and further west of Linjiang Prefecture, that was Yuzhong Prefecture.

If he left later and dragged on for more than ten days, I am afraid that he would have to follow Guo Yunshan and face this group of returning troops.

Under the chaotic army at that time, even if Zhou Qing was already a second-rate master, he did not dare to say that he could save his life.

With a slight chill in his heart, he did not dare to look at it more and quietly broke away from the crowd, and then got into the path and went all the way south.

When he arrived at a dock in the south, Zhou Qing found a small boat and asked the boatman to take him all the way to the other bank.

After crossing the shore, he did not take the official road.

Because walking east along the official road, that is the frontal battlefield of Wushan Mansion. Hundreds of thousands of troops gathered there, and the war was raging, and the roads had long been blocked, and it was impossible to pass at all.

Zhou Qing didn’t want to forcibly break into the road blocked by the army, so he chose to take the mountain path.

In this way, although the distance is longer, it is better than safety.

After walking like this for more than ten days, he finally walked out of the mountain road of Wushan Mansion, and out of Wushan Mansion, he arrived at Tianmen Mansion in Dongting County.

When he arrived at Tianmen Mansion, Zhou Qing originally thought that this side belonged to the imperial court, and the place should be more stable and prosperous than Xichuan.

But when he arrived here, he realized that the place where he had just stayed a few months ago had become as dangerous and turbulent as Xichuan County.

With great confusion, he inquired in the local area, and only then got a news that shocked Zhou Qing.

“The Five Poisons Sect actually rebelled?”

Nishikawa County is surrounded by mountains, and the entire county is shrouded in mountains and belongs to the basin.

Therefore, after several key roads in the territory are jammed, it is difficult for news from the outer counties to enter the territory.

In addition, the puppet emperor Li Xiong, in order to prevent people in the country from colluding with the Yue court, also deliberately blocked the road to prevent communication between the two sides, so that news from the outside world has not been able to enter Xichuan since Linjiang Prefecture was captured a few months ago.

Therefore, the news of the Five Poisons Sect’s rebellion was so big that no one in Xichuan County had heard of it.

The Five Poisons Sect is the number one sect in Dongting County, and it is faintly known as the leader of the martial arts in the county. Coupled with the special status of this sect among the Miao people, once the other party set off a rebellion, the momentum was definitely not small.

“Master and Mr. Sun were officials in Wugang County, and when they were in Pingding County, Master did not slaughter those Miao people. Now that the Miao people have set off a rebellion, with such old feuds, the Five Poisons Sect will never let Master go. ”

After Zhou Qing heard the news, he couldn’t help but sigh that things were right and wrong, and he was worried about his master at the first time.

Although he knew that with the strength of the master’s first-class master, there was also that stable character. Even if the Five Poisons Sect retaliated, it would never be possible to hurt Master.

But the truth is that after knowing that the situation is dangerous, there should be worries.

Zhou Qing couldn’t sit still anymore.

From Tianmen Mansion, take a fast boat all the way, along the river system, and go to Shaoyang Mansion.

Along the way, it passed through many prefectures and counties, and as far as the eye could see, they were all warfighters.

A large number of imperial counties were occupied by those Miao people. Countless seedlings poured out of the mountains and began to wantonly slaughter the Vietnamese people in local villages and towns.

And the Yue people also fought back, but most of them were scattered, and they could not become any climate at all, and as soon as they resisted, they were extinguished.

Some places were still under the control of the imperial court, and the local government organized vigilante rebels, led by local squires, and actively resisted the invasion and killing of the Miao people.

If you fight on both sides, you can die and I live, and you can’t fight each other.

Even Zhou Qing, who had been on the boat, encountered danger several times.

Among them, there are both Miao people intercepted and killed, and there are so-called rebels in the localities who want to rob money.

In the chaotic times, it is officials and bandits, thieves and people, and the distinction between these is really not much more.

A person can be an official or a bandit, and he can be a thief or a citizen.

As long as you can live and live better, what kind of identity, who cares?

For those Miao people robbery, this is nothing to say, a sword cut is.

With the strength of Zhou Qing’s second-rate master, facing an army of hundreds of sizes, he may not die. But in the face of a dozen or twenty chaotic bandits, it is still very easy to kill.

As for encountering the bandits made by those officers and soldiers, he showed his official badge for the inspection of Wugang County.

When he left, Lu Yuan also kept his apprentice’s official body, just waiting for the other party to return.

With an official skin, most of those volunteer officers and soldiers were not embarrassed.

Occasionally, some greed for money reached the extreme, and they were also killed as Miao people.

Such a greedy evil spirit, who even kills his own people, is also a scourge to the villagers when he lives in the world, and what is left to do?

Although the place was full of thieves, Zhou Qing still stumbled all the way like this, spending almost ten days, passing through three prefecture boundaries, and finally arrived at Shaoyang Mansion.

When he got here, the senses given to him were different again.

At the water system ferry, there are also local officers and soldiers guarding, but these officers and soldiers are not those who want to be robbers.

Compared with those rebels who appeared out of nowhere, the officers and soldiers of Shaoyang Mansion were much more regular.

Not only is it more majestic, but it is also more vigorous between walks, and it looks like a well-trained elite soldier. And not those second-rate bandits in the village.

These officers and soldiers were stationed at the ferry, and although tariffs would also be charged, all procedures were handled in accordance with the laws of the imperial court and in compliance with the rules.

Even the people who collect taxes are not officers and soldiers, but tax collectors of those official offices.

This appearance of doing things according to the rules is simply not much stronger than the chaotic rebels outside, who can’t even tell the difference between officials and bandits.

For this represents order and stability, law and justice.

The pedestrians and merchants at the pier are also at ease on their faces, and some can even see smilings. It is completely different from the despair of people living in a dire hell in the outside world.

Looking at this scene, Zhou Qing’s heart suddenly increased his good feelings for the official mansion of Shaoyang Mansion.

In this chaotic world, it is definitely a good official to protect the people and stabilize the place.

I remember that when I left, Shaoyang Prefect was still the same Liang Xiwen. According to Master, this person is a straw bale who can only read and learn, and does not know how to govern the country at all.

Now Shaoyang Mansion can have this kind of scene, it can never be his credit.

Could it be that this person did too poorly as an official, was purged by the imperial court, and then changed to a capable new prefect? ’

When Zhou Qing was queuing up at the dock checkpoint, he couldn’t help but think like this in his heart.

There were not many people in front, and soon it was his turn.

When registering his identity, Zhou Qing directly took out his official position token.

Hearing that it was a local inspection in the prefecture, the registered officials and officers and soldiers were slightly surprised, and then carefully checked the token, and even invited themselves to go to the office.

Who expected that when that Shangguan came, when he saw Zhou Qing’s face, he immediately said in surprise: “Lord Zhou.” ”

In the surprise of the officers, soldiers, and officials, the patrol master who was in charge of the fifty soldiers on the pier saluted the inspector with a happy and respectful face.

“Are you… Meng Huan? ”

Zhou Qing looked at the person in the patrol official uniform and asked with a slight hesitation.

He remembered that this person seemed to be one of the entourage who had joined the army with a family of powerful children surnamed Meng in Changning County. Because he trained his internal strength, he was also a relatively courageous person in the army at that time, so he had a little impression.

“Lord Zhou still remembers me.”

Meng Huan saw Zhou Qing admit his mistake, and he was immediately overjoyed. Then he turned his head to the subordinates next to him, changed his humble face when facing Zhou Qing, and said majestically: “This is Lord Zhou.” It is a personal disciple of General Fenwu, and he has not yet seen the ceremony! ”

Hearing that it was General Fenwu’s disciple, everyone present was taken aback.

Those small officials and soldiers hurriedly saluted Zhou Qing. Even the people who lined up nearby listened, and they bowed down together, calling them adults.

Zhou Qing was a little dizzy by this scene.

He is a personal disciple of Master, that’s right. But what happened to General Fenwu?

Could it be that he left for so many years, and his master was promoted so quickly, and he was all mixed with the imperial court general?

Zhou Qing’s head was full of fog.

But he has been out for so many years and has also experienced it.

At this time, his face remained unchanged, nodded slightly, and after letting everyone get up, he pulled Meng Huan and found a secluded place, asking and confused.

After asking for a while, he realized that his master had experienced so many things in the years since he left.

Ping Thief made meritorious contributions and was promoted to commander of Fucheng.

Then, a few months ago, in the defeat of the entire Dongting County, he took the initiative to lead the army to attack, and won two battles and completely defeated tens of thousands of Miao rebels in the province.

Then he divided the army everywhere to eliminate the remnants of the rebels, completely quelling the rebellion in Shaoyang Province, making this a rare place of peace and stability in the chaotic times.

“Now the general is busy recruiting troops and rectifying the military, and he is busy with everything, and he keeps saying that he has no right-hand men around him.

Now that Lord Zhou has returned, the general will be overjoyed to learn that he will be overjoyed.

After the adult returns, with the relationship between the adult and the general, the position of a captain is indispensable. ”

This Meng Huan looked at Zhou Qing and said with envy.

According to the Great Vietnam Army system, the first army has 50 people in one team, and according to the difference between the local army and the regular army, each has a team or patrol commander, all of which are from the ninth rank officer.

The second team is a pawn, with an inspector or pawn commander in charge, and is the ninth grade officer. The fifth pawn is a battalion, which has the jurisdiction of a county lieutenant or a battalion chief, and is a zhengbai officer.

At the battalion level, it is the most basic standard unit in the Great Vietnamese Army. According to different localities and different needs, the second battalion to the fifth battalion formed a combat group, and the commander or captain was respectively commanded, and the sixth grade officer was established.

In other words, when Zhou Qing goes back, he can be directly promoted to the captain of the sixth grade.

This future, for Meng Huan, who has climbed for so long to climb into a patrol from the ninth rank, really has unlimited prospects.

Therefore, at this time, he used all his strength to curry favor with this general’s personal disciple, hoping to find a future for himself.

“Whether or not to continue to be an official depends on what my master means, and it’s too early to say this.”

For the meaning of Meng Huan’s words, Zhou Qing was naturally clear. However, unlike what the other party thought, he didn’t care about whether he was an official or not.

At this time, I listened to the compliment, and just smiled faintly.

However, after learning that his master had been promoted to general and was also in charge of the local military affairs of the county, Zhou Qing was still very happy.

As long as he could see that Master was doing better and better, as a disciple, he felt that there was nothing happier in the world.

Now Master has been promoted and become a general. This disciple of mine came back and offered the Chiyang Divine Skill, just as a congratulatory gift. Zhou Qing thought like this, and couldn’t wait to get up.

Politely refusing Meng Huan’s invitation to banquet, he took a fast horse from the pier and rushed towards Fucheng.

……

Shaoyang Fucheng, military camp outside the city.

Although there was a military camp in the city, according to the system, Shaoyang Mansion could only have a thousand soldiers. Therefore, the scale of the military camp in the city was naturally built according to this specification.

But since the chaotic times have arrived, and Lu Yuan began to recruit troops on a large scale, the military camp in the city could not accommodate so many people.

So after thinking about it, he simply found a large open space outside the city and recruited the people to build a new military camp.

Originally, the new military camp could only accommodate 5,000 people, but after Lu Yuansheng became a general and could control the local soldiers and horses in the county, our new Fenwu general began to recruit troops again.

After spending nearly a month to wipe out the Miao cottage in the prefecture, Lu Yuan obtained 370,000 taels of silver through capture. Coupled with the 100,000 taels of silver supported by the county government, another batch of money and grain was paid on the side of the capital city.

The sum of these zeros and zeros finally led him to raise a huge salary of 500,000 taels.

Since he had money, whether it was for safety or for the expected plan, Lu Yuan naturally began to recruit troops.

First, the elites were selected locally in Shaoyang Prefecture, and soon those who were originally selected as the remaining mountain hunters, as well as those who had the courage among the local people, were recruited into the army.

But even so, he only got more than 3,000 people in the end.

Counting the original large army in the army, the total is only 7,000 soldiers and horses.

Shaoyang Mansion is a small province, originally with a population of more than 200,000, including many Miao people.

Now after Lu Yuan’s two recruitments, there are not many qualified soldiers left.

In the end, he had no choice but to take his soldiers and horses and go to several nearby prefectures and counties for a walk.

On the one hand, he trained troops by marching and training, and on the other hand, he also helped several surrounding prefectures and counties to quell the rebellion.

In the end, he was already a general of Fenwu, and Lu Yuan still did some duty for the official position given by this imperial court.

Of course.

While training troops to suppress the rebellion, he naturally recruited troops locally.

In this way, he traveled eight or nine counties outside the province, fought three small-scale counterinsurgency battles, and relieved the siege of five counties. Then, he spent more than 100,000 taels of silver on the way, and finally recruited a large number of qualified soldiers.

When it went out, it was an army of seven thousand, and when it returned, it became an army of fifteen thousand.

However, although the number is enough, many of them are recruits. Although the quality of these recruits is also good, because Lu Yuan recruits soldiers, he still chooses to have force, or simply the mountain people hunters.

But even if these high-quality soldiers are not trained, they cannot become qualified soldiers.

Therefore, these days, after returning to Shaoyang Mansion City, on the one hand, in order to avoid the assassination of a possible innate grandmaster, and on the other hand, it was also for military training, Lu Yuan completely lived in the barracks, and refused to leave for half a step.

This day.

He was reading the Taoist scriptures in the tent of the marshal’s camp, and then he saw a subordinate soldier hurriedly coming, and after coming in, he said with a happy face: “General, Lord Zhou is back.” ”
