The Nan'an Hall Office is at the entrance of Zujiachang Village. There is also a large schoolyard at the entrance, facing north and south, and a large mansion with three entrances inside and outside. There is also a big drum for the people to make the people complain. The only difference from the Dao Administration is that it is not that large in scale, with only one ritual gate, and there are only twelve rooms on both sides of the lobby.

The yard was brightly lit, and Chen Chongdi, who rushed back first, was in a hurry.

Han Xiufeng didn't want to cause trouble for him, so he followed his family and walked straight into the inner house and rested in a small study. Datou, Chen Hu and other brothers from Lao Tai Yongying Camp suddenly became busy. They first removed the foreign guns, gunpowder and lead from the car to move them to the warehouse, and then moved their luggage after they moved them. Cuihua and Ren Yuer helped clean up the house and helped make the sheets and bedding.

Neither Wang Qianli nor Cui Hao brought their family, but they didn't have much luggage. They found two rooms to put down their luggage, and made their own way out of bed, and rushed to the study room to listen.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into the study, I saw Ji Da come to report with two resumes.

Han Xiufeng took the resume and looked under the candle, and then returned it to him: "I don't see you, even if I have to work hard all the way, I have already rested. If there is any official business, let them come to the lobby tomorrow to talk."

"Abide by the order!"

After Jida took over his resume, Wang Qianli asked curiously: "Fourth Master, who is it?"

"A candidate Qian and a general manager are so late, what's the point?" Han Xiufeng picked up the cup and drank a sip of tea, and said lightly: "Qianli, go out and talk to Chen Chongdi. All the original servants were dismissed. To eat dry food tonight, there is no need to buy any banquets or cook food."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Seeing that Wang Qianli got up and was about to pass the message, Cui Hao couldn't help but remind: "Master Han, isn't this appropriate? Besides, you are just a newcomer. What's going on in Heying? If you don't ask clearly how to fix it next?"

"Brother Dezhong, do you mean you should meet those two military officers?"

"Students thought it would be better to meet him."

Looking at Cui Hao's careful appearance, Han Xiufeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Dezhong, it seems that you are not very familiar with the situation of the Green Camp. Let's put it this way, I have never expected the River Camp to be well rectified. Since I can't count on it, why bother to delay that effort, so it's better not to see you."

"Where do we come from if we don't fix the Heying camp? Dongweng, the students knew that there must be no 1,500 soldiers in the Heying camp, but even if those Qiu Bashu were empty, they could raise five or six hundred people as long as they gathered together. Five or six hundred people were better than none of them."

"Don't say that they can make up at most five or six hundred. Even if they can make up 1,500 soldiers, I will not want any one." Thinking of him asking about this, Han Xiufeng simply put down his teacup and said, "What we want is soldiers who dare to fight with their lives, not people. So in the next month, you and Qianli have to be a little tired. Take Chen Hu and the others to recruit young and strong people in the Ten Miles and Bajie. You should not be cheating and sloppy, as long as you are innocent and honest and reliable."

"Start up and recruit the trainer again, don't you want any of the original soldiers?"

"What do you think?"

"What about the original Dusi, the garrison, the general, the general, and other military officers?"

"No, either."

"Dongweng, the students know that they can start a new job and recruit again. After all, the recruited people are easy to use, but the original officers and soldiers can be dismissed if they want to be dismissed, and they can be dismissed if they want to be dismissed. Especially those military officers, no matter what, they are all officials of the court!"

"No need for them does not mean that they will be dismissed. The war in Jinghai is in full swing. Senggelinqin and Shengbao submitted a memorial to ask the court to dispatch reinforcements for them every few days. We can take this opportunity to send the original group of Qiu Ba to serve under Lord Shengbao. It is natural to go honestly. If you are not honest and don't want to go, then you will disobey the military order!"

Cui Hao was shocked. He never expected that his boss would be so cruel before the New Year. He was stunned for a while before he asked carefully: "Dongweng, can the court agree?"

"What the emperor ordered me to come to Gu'an? Don't the emperor know what the situation in the Heying camp is? To be honest, I told the emperor when I met that the original military officers and soldiers could be used, and no one could be left if they could not be used!" Han Xiufeng smiled and then said, "As for sending the original clerks and yamen runners from the Nan'an Hall to the Northan Hall and let Chen Chongdi dismiss the labourers outside, first, I am different from the previous Nan'an, and I only care about training troops and not the local taxes, money, grain and criminal lawsuits. Second, because we don't have much money, we have to use the money, grain, and we don't have that much money, and we don't have that much money, and we have to support idle people."

"But there are not many people around you who can listen to it!"

"Although I am a civil servant, I am doing the job of a military officer. From now on, the Nan'an Hall Office will be the central tent of the Heying Central Army. The military orders issued by the military are enforced by military law, so there is no need for so many people to serve him." Han Xiufeng thought for a while and said again: "It's too late today. I can only let the sister and the big head couple live in the yamen. I will ask Jueming to rent a few private houses in the village early tomorrow morning and let all the female family move out."

"Where are students, do you want to move?"

"You and Qianli don't need it. When the original Qiu Bata was sent to Jinghaiping Rebellion, I will go to find Lord Wu and ask Lord Wu to ask the court to entrust you to assist in the camp. Once you get the official documents to assist in the camp, you can legitimately help me with Chen Chongdi to handle the food and wages of the Heying."

Although assisting the camp is not a serious court official, it is at least a serious job. If the Heying is trained, if he can win one or two battles in the future, the emperor will be happy and will definitely be rewarded with one or two positions. Cui Hao becomes more and more excited as he thinks, and hurriedly gets up and says, "Thank you Mr. Han, and thank you Mr. Han!"

"I have anything to thank for, myself," Han Xiufeng signaled him to sit down and said with a smile: "I told you in the carriage that it is difficult to make a fortune here, but it is easy to make achievements, but you have to endure some hardship and suffer some grievances."

"Students are not afraid of hardship, and students are not wronged!"

As soon as Cui Hao finished speaking, Wang Qianli came back after he finished speaking. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and said, "Fourth Master, the military officers who had just gone to the Dao Office to welcome you with Chen Chongdi came over. One brought his resume and the other didn't. He wanted to ask the brothers Ji to help inform him. It seems that he should have come with money. I know you won't see them, so I decided to send them back."

"I came here with the money, but it seems that I have been vacancies. Now I know I'm afraid."

"This is what I met you. If someone else had no good results, I would have to bleed even if I could escape a board. I would have to bleed heavily. I wouldn't have to think about the level of 3,000 or 5,000 taels of silver."

"Three or five thousand taels, you look down on them too much." Han Xiufeng smiled and thought about it and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"By the way, there is, the Gu'an County Magistrate actually asked his family to go to the city to hold a banquet, and came to ask for a meeting with a lantern and a food box. I saw that the garrison office opposite sent more than a dozen soldiers to guard the yamen outside the yamen to guard the guards, so I took the initiative to help you reward the wine and food he sent to the soldiers."

"This master is good at doing it, and I don't want to take advantage of him."

This is the first time Cui Hao has seen him as an official in this way.

Wang Qianli, a friend of mine, actually helped Master Han make so many decisions, Cui Hao couldn't believe it. Seeing Wang Qianli sitting down carelessly and talking about when to go to Shuntian Mansion to ask for money and food, he realized that Wang Qianli had a very different relationship with Master Han and could really help Master Han make half of his decisions.

"There is no hurry to find Shuntian Mansion to ask for money and food. The most urgent thing is to recruit soldiers." Han Xiufeng touched his chin and pondered: "We are new to us and are not familiar with the place. We can't rely on the place alone. We have to rely on the place to recruit soldiers."

"Look for the main hall of nearby prefectures and counties?" Wang Qianli asked subconsciously.

"It's useless to find them. Even if they go to find them, they will only help post a few notices and send some yamen runners to the towns and ring gongs while shouting. The people are too late to hide, so who would be willing to join the army? Otherwise, when the original Qiubata was sent to Jinghai, we will visit the respected gentry nearby. Then prepare some gifts to give them enough face, and they should help."

Thinking that Mr. Han relied on the help of gentry to help more than a thousand village heroes in Taizhou, Wang Qianli couldn't help but laugh: "Why didn't I expect such a simple thing!"

"You are a fan of the authorities." Han Xiufeng untied the dry food bag at hand, took out the fire he bought when he was fighting at noon, and greeted the two of them and ate with tea, and continued: "The people of Zhili are strong and the people are still martial. This soldiers should not be that difficult to recruit. The key is how to lead the thousand five hundred soldiers after recruiting them. Chen Hu and Ji Daji Er are naturally trustworthy, but at most they can only train two thousand generals. Even if they can train more, we cannot let them all lead the troops."

"Why can't it?" Wang Qianli asked in confusion.

"Don't we have more than 40 foreign guns? If we were asked to lead all the troops, who would let those foreign guns be used?" Han Xiufeng asked back and said, "You don't know, you know. Even if the food and salary are abundant, not to mention half a year, even if I give me a year, I can't train 1,500 soldiers who can really go to the battlefield and kill thieves. Only those who have been in the battle and have seen blood can barely be considered elite soldiers. If you want to train a soldier that can barely fight in such a short time, you still have to rely on firearms. So I plan to ask Chen Chongdi to purchase dozens of bird guns and lift guns, and set up a firearm battalion together with the foreign guns brought from Shanghai."

"Yes, I can't fight a war with a group of farmers. Now I can only rely on firearms." Wang Qianlishen agreed.

"There is only a person who knows himself and his enemy to win every battle. We cannot be blinded when we first arrived. The terrain on both sides of the Yongding River and the thieves in nearby prefectures and counties should be clarified quickly. Among these old brothers who came together, Chen Hu is the smartest. I plan to recruit some young and strong men who are familiar with the situation in nearby prefectures and counties, and form a scout team and let Chen Hu lead the command. Then pick dozens of honest and reliable people, form a personal guard team, and let Datou lead the command."
