Chapter 274 Justifiably

Pan Er and Datou are back, Han Xiufeng is very energetic and feels much more at ease.

The seal was opened on the morning of the 21st day of the first lunar month, and Dean Gu, Wang Jiansheng, Yu Jiansheng and Li Zhiyong, Tongsheng of Baimi Town, came to the yamen to look at the palace together to bow and bow. He opened the seal box in front of everyone, took out the official seal, and stamped a document submitted to the state yamen. Then he led everyone to the ceremony gate, the land, and the city god.

After paying homage to the city god, he returned to the yamen and sat around the lobby to discuss the plan of the group training of the village heroes.

The thieves and bandits were almost killed, and the students were not at ease to study the sage books. Dean Gu took out a list of early drafts and planned to let Fengshan and Mingdao Academy help the group affairs of Hai'an, Qutang and Baimi Regiment respectively. Han Xiufeng naturally would not object. He struck while the iron was hot and suggested that the Baojia Bureau, which was being planned, hired the inspector's yamen Zaoli Chu Chenggui, Jiang Huai and Pusi soldier Wang Ruhai teach the third regiment, and taught the village warriors to practice spear and short sword martial arts.

I hope these three people can't make any tricks to train, but they are all from the yamen and can be called "famous". The evil people will be beaten by the evil people. Not to mention the local heroes who are about to recruit, even the ruffians who have been enrolled in the local heroes must be honest.

President Gu, like Han Xiufeng, had no hope of the Township Yong to resist the large number of Taiping bandits. He just wanted to train the Township Yong first. At that time, he could bluff the small number of bandits and flee to their palace when he had to escape. Therefore, he was reluctant to do so. Not only did he agree and even offered a reward of two taels of silver per month for each person.

Jiang Huai and Wang Ruhai heard it clearly and were excited and excited.

As soon as Han Xiufeng spoke, they hurriedly ran in and thanked him.

"As soon as you get up, you will be all teaching in the future, so you will have to be a little like a teaching. The yamen's work and food bank is paid by the bank, and the salary of the Baojia Bureau is paid by monthly. The combined salary of the two sides is not much less than the official salary of the official. Besides, you are all locals. The training of the local heroes is for the sake of the village, so you must do your job well."

Han Xiufeng signaled them to get up and said, "The martial arts of spears and short swords are naturally to teach the village warriors to practice, and they also need to practice formations. If you don't understand, you can ask President Gu, Mr. Wang, Mr. Yu for advice. President Gu, Mr. Wang and Mr. Yu are not only well-read books on sages, but also have read military books. It is of great importance. You must pretend to understand."

"The little one knows, the little one knows."

"Don't worry, Mr. Han, the young ones listen to President Gu and the three supervisors. President Gu and the three supervisors ask the young ones to do whatever they want!"

"Okay, just know." Han Xiufeng nodded with satisfaction and said sideways: "Director Gu, in my opinion, let the third regiment practice each of them first, and let the white rice be given every four or five days. The second regiment of Qutang comes to practice with Hai'an regiment, or let Hai'an and the second regiment of Qutang go to the white rice and the white rice regiment to practice together. What do you think?"

How could President Gu not know Han Xiufeng’s good intentions and hurriedly said: “This is the best, this is the most suitable!”

"Brother Wang, Brother Yu, Brother Li, what do you think?"

"Mr. Han, everything is up to you and Dean Gu in the future."

"Then the two things that the teaching and the formation practice are decided." Han Xiufeng smiled and continued, "There is no longer a few leaders after the Third Group Township Warriors meet, otherwise how can they manage dozens of people?"

"Are there twelve archers?" Wang Jiansheng said inference: "Mr. Han, you mentioned the military books just now. Wansheng has actually read a few books. The one that impressed the most was Qi Jiguang, the previous dynasty. In his opinion, he could make adjustments to the charter of "The True Story of Military Training". For example, every five people are composed of one corps and a corps commander. Every two corps is composed of one corps and a corps commander. Let those archers serve as the chief. The corps commander chooses from the young and strong men who have inspected private salt on the night of the first lunar month. In this way, the third regiment will be equipped with a corps."

"This idea is good, I think it's OK!"

As soon as Han Xiufeng finished speaking, Yu Jiansheng suggested: "Mr. Han, brother. In my opinion, you should recruit a teacher and give money and food every day to make food for Geshi."

Li Zhiyong had little dealing with Han Xiufeng, but was just a child. He was embarrassed to speak at first. Seeing Wang Jiansheng and Yu Jiansheng talking to each other, he couldn't help but suggest: "Master Han, Wansheng thought that the machetes, spears and other weapons were to be built, and the flags, gongs and drums were to be added. Especially the flags, there can only be more, and the flags can only be more powerful."

"Yes, yes, Zhiyong is right. We trained the village heroes not only to prevent bandits, but also to appease the people's hearts. The greater the momentum, the more stable the people's hearts can."

...

As he was discussing, Zhang Guangcheng's family, Zhang Si, rushed over from Taizhou, ran into the yamen and walked into the lobby, bowed and bowed, and then took out a document and a letter from his arms to respectfully serve.

Han Xiufeng first opened the official document and looked at it, then looked up and smiled, "Everyone, Mr. Zhang agreed to the matter of establishing the Baojia Bureau and the training of the village heroes in the group. With this official document, you no longer have to worry about being unjustified."

"Okay, great!" Wang Jiansheng was a little excited to think of bringing a group of township heroes next.

The incident where the prefect plans to let Zhang Zhigao tell him about his illness has been circulating in Yangzhou City. Zhang Guangcheng cannot know, so he is very easy to talk now. If the yamen had not opened the seal today, he would have sent this document to someone.

But it’s easy to talk, you have to do the same official articles.

Han Xiufeng looked at the official document that was really like that, and suppressed his smile and said, "Everyone, Mr. Zhang not only agreed, but also compiled eight group rules for us in accordance with the 21st year of Daoguang: Article 1: Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in the group must adhere to their true careers and not be idle. When there are bandits who form cliques, disturb local areas, steal and robberies, they should set fire to fire gongs and gather together to take them to investigate. If you can't wait and see, find out that the group's public punishment..."

"Mr. Zhang is really thoughtful!" President Gu couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, it's easier to handle the constitution of the magistrate." Wang Jiansheng agreed deeply.

"About how to raise and allocate the group fees and how to use them, Article 8 of the group rules is clearly written in black and white, so I don't think about it all." Han Xiufeng handed the official documents and group rules to Dean Gu, and then stood up and said, "Without any delay, Xiufeng will not leave you for lunch. Please move to the Baojia Bureau and quickly prepare and implement the regulations agreed just now."

"Master Han, then I'll say goodbye first."

"Go busy, rely on you all."

Wang Jiansheng bowed and bowed, walked to the door of the lobby and turned back, "Mr. Han, there is another thing. Yesterday we asked the head of the Chu Ban to make an appointment with the village, Baozheng and Chief A sent a letter to the Baojia Bureau in the afternoon. If you have time in the afternoon, can you see them? If you are not in our hearts, you will never feel at ease."

"Okay, wait until they arrive and send someone to the yamen to say something."

"Okay, then I'll take a step first."

...

Although the Baojia Bureau was officially established today, the day when the meeting agreed to train the village heroes, President Gu and other gentry were making various preparations for this.

The group fee was confiscated, and several of them paid the cushion out of their own pockets.

Hai'an, Hu Jiaji, Qutang and Baimi's blacksmith shops have not done anything else these days. They are all helping Baojia Bureau to build machetes and spears and other weapons. They even bought more than a dozen pieces of cloth in the cloth shop and asked the women in the town to help the more than fifty thunderbolts make number clothes first. Those thunderbolts who were incorporated into the town's heroes a few days ago are now all practicing in the threshing grounds in the west of the city.

Han Xiufeng went to see it yesterday afternoon. Lu Daming, a deserter from the Green Camp, led them to practice in a very good manner, but they just looked very good. It might be possible to deal with private salt dealers, but they would not be able to rely on the Taiping bandits.

Watching Dean Gu and other gentry leave, Han Xiufeng returned to the inner house, and while taking off his official uniform, he said to Pan Er, who had just rushed back from the gangstone field last night: "Changsheng, I asked Wang Ruhai to be a teacher in the Hai'an Group and teach the village warriors to practice spear machete martial arts. In this way, the shop will be short of a shop soldier. Go and talk to Wang Qianbu later and ask him to go back to take over his father's errands, and pay him the wages for these days."

No one who is unreliable can be kept. Even the archers are sent to do whatever they want, so Wang Qianbu naturally cannot keep them.

Pan Er said without hesitation: "Okay, after lunch, he told him that he would have the same food and food as he did souvenirs. As for our future meals, Lu Daming and Liang Liu's wife can help us."

Han Xiufeng put on an old cotton jacket and folded his official uniform and said, "Then wait for the Santuan Township Warriors to recruit them. Go and see if there are any honest and reliable people. If there are, bring them to the yamen and let them be archers. Anyway, they will be exempted from miscellaneous problems."

"Okay, I'll go when I get all the recruits." Pan Er thought about it and asked again: "Fourth brother, how many are you planning to recruit?"

"We have eleven bird guns, Lu Daming, Liang Liu and Liang Jiu each, and eight rods are left, no one uses them... Let's just use ten, eight bird guns, and two boats are left."

"Okay, but this matter cannot be fast. After all, I have to figure out their details, otherwise I don't know whether they are reliable or not."

"It's time to get faster if you can't get faster. Now it's really time for me." Han Xiufeng put the folded official uniforms into the box and turned around and said, "I remember, there are two people available now."

"Which two people?" Pan Er asked subconsciously.

"The Jida and Ji Er brothers of Jijiazhuang are the two brothers of the third girl of Jijia. I used to know that their sister had committed suicide by hanging the beam, but later I learned that their father Ji Guishan also died of illness last year. The two brothers this year were twenty-two and twenty-four. The family had no land and only two thatched huts, so they could only be tenants for Ji Laocai's family. Maybe they felt that we had avenged his family and wanted to avenge this kind of kindness. When they heard that they were going to train the village heroes, they went to the yamen to beg me to accept them."

Pan Er asked puzzledly: "Fourth brother, if you say that these two brothers are available, why don't you keep them?"

Han Xiufeng smiled bitterly and said, "I thought that Xun Liu died so coincidental, and I was worried that I would give someone a handle after accepting them. But now I don't care about so much. In the afternoon, you go to Jijiazhuang and call them over, telling them not to go back when they come, and work as a yamen in the future."
