There were tanks in the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 415 Hope
PS: To supplement a mistake in the previous chapter, Danyang was actually typed as Danjiang when the code was coded. This mistake, embarrassing, has been revised now.

Yanling Town, twenty miles outside Danyang City.

Wang Delin finally caught up with the Qilin army here.

Li Chu has also been waiting here for Wang Delin for a long time.

After seeing Li Chu, Wang Delin burst into tears and didn't know what to say. The first thing he did when he arrived here was to check the number of soldiers in the Qilin Army. When he found that the number of soldiers was not much different from the number when he first set off Finally, tears glistened in his eyes.

Not sad, not touched.

But to shock.

Nima, in just a few hours, it's enough to connect the three cities below La La. What the hell, you took down three cities, and in the end, you hardly lost a soldier or a general.

Moreover, although these Qilin army soldiers lined up neatly, their faces were clearly brimming with relief.

easy?

Take it easy, sister.

If it were Wang Delin who fought instead, not to mention Changzhou, he would lose one-third if he defeated Jiangyin. Casualties, the speed is still so fast, Wang Delin was so surprised and shocked, he couldn't understand the Qilin army more and more.

"Why did Master Zhizhi come here?"

Li Chu cupped his fists and gave him an official salute.

Wang Delin said: "General, Wang Delin has to apologize to the general for this matter. After the incident was reported, the road administration did not agree to send troops, so Wang had to bring 3000 people from the headquarters to support."

"It's okay, as long as the general has a heart, I wonder if the general has been to Jiangyin, Changzhou, and Jintan?"

Wang Delin didn't know what Li Chu meant, so he just heard Li Chu continue to say: "Before the arrival of our large army, all this will depend on the authority of the system. The county towns of these three cities will be under the jurisdiction, and I will only temporarily promote some appointments. Please also ask Master Zhi to draw up a new memorial and let the higher-ups re-arrange the candidates."

Wang Delin immediately agreed: "General, you are welcome, so there is no need to worry about this matter. I think the people you temporarily promoted are not bad, General. They can stand up and take care of the safety of the people when they are comforting the county. , it is better to simply let them continue to serve as county magistrates. The situation in the south of the Yangtze River is special after this Fangla chaos. The local aristocratic family is obviously more suitable for appeasing the people and revitalizing the county than those dispatched from other places."

Rescheduled candidates?
Rearrange your sister!

How could Wang Delin fail to understand the meaning of Li Chu's words?
Coupled with the hint of solicitation that Li Chu showed to him on the Dingyuan earlier, how could he still not understand Li Chu's intentions?
If you really want to rearrange, you won't tell me, but go directly to the imperial court.

If you really want to re-arrange, you won't temporarily promote someone to be the county magistrate. It's not good for you to promote anyone, but to promote a local family. Isn't it clear that you don't want the court to re-appoint an official to be the county magistrate?

People from these aristocratic families were promoted by Li Chu to be temporary magistrates, and they experienced the taste of power.

Originally, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the appointment of county magistrates could only be dispatched from other places, and could not be selected locally. This was mainly to prevent the county magistrate from becoming bigger locally, and also to prevent the county magistrate from only seeking personal interests locally instead of serving the country. a variety of factors.

Originally, even if they could be magistrates, they would go to other places. How could they be local?
What's more, the magistrate's power is also very strong in the local area. Once this power is acquired, who will give it up?

Once the imperial court re-appoints officials, they will definitely not accept it. If it is just an ordinary person who is temporarily promoted, so what if he refuses to accept it, but these are local aristocratic families, and the local power and connections are already very sufficient. You let them go down now, why?
The above will definitely consider that this will cause more turmoil.

The area around the south of the Yangtze River was already in such chaos, how could it be any more chaotic?
As for the Qilin Army, these people were all promoted by Li Chu, and the court wanted to suppress them. These people must be towards the Qilin Army in their hearts.

This is where the problem lies!
Your Qilin Army has already done this, how can I still object?

He had no choice but to follow Li Chu's words and help him to settle the matter.

His current status is Tongzhou Zhizhi envoy and Lu deputy envoy, and now he has led troops into the Jiangnan Suzhou area. He has enough say in this matter to judge the handling of the Jiangnan matter, and he also believes that this matter In the future, the Kirin Army will also support each other.

as predicted.

After Wang Delin said this, Li Chu also said to Wang Delin: "Your Excellency is very considerate of the people, and the Qilin Army will also report to the imperial court. The recovery of the three cities of Changzhou, Jintan and Jintan played a very important role in this battle, and I would like to ask for credit for Lord Zhizhi."

"Thank you, General. Wang Delin would not dare to claim credit for the General's Qilin Army that defeated Jiangyin, Changzhou, and Jintan."

Although he knew it was inevitable, he still pushed it.

Li Chu said with a smile: "Master Zhizhi helped me cross the river and cleared the obstacles behind me. How can it be in vain? This matter is settled in this way, sir, don't delay it."

After that, Li Chu discussed with Wang Delin how to attack Danjiang and how to prevent Fang La's troops from counterattacking after Danjiang was captured.

And since I've been here for so long, Danjiang County must have gotten the news that the Qilin Army was calling.

After the discussion, Wang Delin temporarily returned to his camp with his entourage.

This Qilin army is not easy!
The ambition of the Qilin army can be seen from the appointment of the magistrates of these three counties.

Not just ambition, but also a strength that rivals ambition!
Unlike Fang La, Fang La followed Hua Shigang's story and made a fuss about it. The rebellion that he instigated may be fierce in the early stage, but once he loses his vigor, he will definitely lose. Moreover, the counties captured by Fang La have no management after that, which shows that this person Just a hot-blooded impulsive person.

Rebellion, how can it be so easy to create?

Conquering the world is easy, but ruling the world is difficult!

This Qilin army is not only very powerful in the military, but also has the artifact of artillery, but it is not bad in governance.

It has long been heard that Rufen Town is extremely prosperous under the rule of the Qilin Army, with all kinds of tall buildings and light bulbs that are as bright as day at night.Although he has never seen these things, he has seen the internal affairs of the Qilin Army in the three cities of Jiangyin, Changzhou, and Jintan.

If it were them, after taking back a county, the first thing to consider was how to defend the county, how many people would be left behind, and how to deal with the governance after it was taken down.

No matter which one it is, it is a thorny issue. Even if officials are sent from the back of the court, at least these things will be delayed for several days.

Where is it like the Qilin Army, which conquered three cities in one morning.

It is not fast, but also decisive in killing.

All the anti-thief soldiers in the city were killed, and nobles were directly appointed as temporary magistrates on the spot, which directly solved these problems.

In this unicorn army, there are definitely masters!
All kinds of aftermath and coping methods had been thought out long before the siege.

Maybe, maybe this Qilin army really has hope?

Wang Delin looked at the sky, the world today...
