"Master Chu."

After Cheng Zhang and Jiao Shan left the County Military Department, Mule lowered his voice and whispered: "The City Guards are short of men. Don't we, the Fourth Alliance Gang, still have brother No. 150? Why don't you send the brothers from the Fourth Alliance Gang to

Fill them all into the city guard army, which will also help you concentrate your strength to fight against the northern barbarians!"

"The mule spoke to my mind. I was thinking about this just now."

Li Zheng said: "The City Guards have military pay. If our brothers join the City Guards, won't one person get two portions of the salary?"

"This is a good idea. Anyway, no gang in Jintian Mansion dares to compete with our Silian Gang for land and business. So many brothers are idle. Why not go to the city guard to get more salary and learn a lesson?

Drills of the City Guards."

Big Bear also agrees with this idea.

The three of them expressed their opinions one by one.

After Zhang Chu heard this, he shook his head without thinking, "You have only seen the benefits of merging our Fourth Alliance Gang into the City Guards, but you have not seen the fundamental problem."

"Now the Silian Gang belongs to us, whatever we say will matter."

"Once the Silian Gang is merged into the City Guards, they will become officers and soldiers of the city, and from now on they will be members of the county government and the imperial court."

"Of course, when I sit in this seat, it doesn't matter whether they are officers and soldiers or our brothers. But once I leave this seat, it means that all the property we have accumulated with great difficulty has been given away.

I have been appointed as a county soldier."

"Why?"

Li Zheng asked a very Li Zheng question: "Even if you don't sit in this seat, you can still pull our own people away!"

Mule and Big Bear, who had already understood, turned their heads and gave Li Zheng a look of contempt: You have become officers and soldiers, and you still want to take them away? What do you want to do? Are you rebelling?

Zhang Chu didn't want Li Zheng to explain, and said directly: "So you three, don't be lazy. I gave them a month to the City Guards to pull out four thousand men again. You, I will only give you half

In a few months, I can recruit 3,000 troops again!"

The three of them looked at each other in confusion.

"Master Chu, isn't half a month too tight?"

Mule boldly said in a low voice: "There are not many young people left in the city, and all the sub-rudders in our districts and counties have been withdrawn..."

"I also know it's hard."

Zhang Chu sighed, "I also want to give you time... but will the Northern Barbarians give us time? Now Jintian Mansion is surrounded by three sides of the Northern Barbarians. No one knows what the situation of the Zhenbei Army in the north is now.

If we don’t hurry up and replenish our manpower, what will we do with the Northern Barbarians once they send their troops southward for the second time?”

"I didn't say anything!"

Li Zheng gritted his teeth and scratched his neck and said: "You have already spoken, even if you go to rob, I will definitely make up for the three thousand people!"

He would never refuse Zhang Chu's orders.

If it can be done, he will do it.

Even if he couldn't do it, he would do it even if he risked his life!

Zhang Chu nodded slightly.

The combined personnel shortage of the City Guards and the Four Alliance Gang has exceeded 4,000 people.

Such a large personnel gap cannot be filled by the existing young people in Jintian Mansion alone.

He just wanted to force them to target the refugees who had fled from various counties.

"By the way, Big Bear, when will you enter the eighth level?"

Zhang Chu looked at Big Bear.

Daxiong touched his bare scalp and said uncertainly: "It should be just these two days. My subordinate's "Golden Clothes Technique" has been completed, but I haven't mastered the secret power yet."

After saying this, both Mule Zi and Li Zheng couldn't help but cast envious and jealous looks at Da Xiong.

Da Xiong entered the market later than Li Zheng and earlier than Mule.

The reason why he surpassed Li Zheng was all thanks to "Golden Clothes Gong".

The method of frying yourself in an iron pot in "Golden Clothes Gong" is indeed very painful and dangerous, and the money consumed is not a small amount.

But as long as you hold on, you will be able to reach the ninth level in a few months!

Moreover, "Golden Clothes Technique" has super strong defense power that is invulnerable to even famous swords. It is almost a bug on the battlefield!

Zhang Chudu is already thinking about whether to simply make "Golden Clothes Kung Fu" a compulsory skill for the ninth grade of the Silian Gang in the future!

A large group of bald men were slashing people with knives, which is quite touching when you think about it.

"Enter the eighth rank as soon as possible, and I will arrange for you to take over as the city guard's southern city guard."

Zhang Chu said.

"yes!"

The big bear bowed and accepted the order.

"Li Zheng, what about you? How long will it take to reach the eighth rank?"

Zhang Chu's eyes turned to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng bared his teeth in embarrassment and forced a smile: "I, I may need another month or two."

"so long?"

Zhang Chu frowned: "Otherwise, you can also practice the "Golden Clothes Kung Fu"!"

Hearing this, Li Zheng couldn't help but look at the top of Zhang Chu's head, then at Big Bear's bare scalp, and immediately shook his head like a rattle: "Forget it, give me another month, and I will definitely be able to enter the eighth rank."

Zhang Chu:......

Big Bear:……

Mule: "Don't look at me. I've only been in the ninth rank for five months. It's not that fast. I can't shave my head. My father will beat me to death when I get home!"

Zhang Chu:......

Big Bear:……

…

County government offices have public chefs.

It is also the legendary working meal for government agencies, and it is delivered to various official temples by special personnel and served to all the adults.

The food was not bad, with five dishes and one soup, and the portions were quite sufficient. After all, the chief officials of each temple were all first-class warriors, and high-class warriors themselves could be directly equated with rice bowls.

At the stall where Zhang Chu, Li Zheng, Da Xiong, and Mule were eating at the same table, two small officials in soap clothes carried Ma Rong, who was moaning "Oh, oh, oh!" using the door panel, and walked into the county military department.

"I am reporting to Mr. Zhang that Mr. Ma has no sense of military discipline and rushed into Shangguan. My lord has already broken one of his legs. I apologize to Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang will forgive you."

A small official in soap clothes walked to the door of the lobby and bowed to report to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu held a palm-sized blue and white porcelain rice bowl in one hand and sandalwood chopsticks in the other, chewing slowly without even raising his eyelids: "Who is your master?"

"Replying to Mr. Zhang, my lord is Mr. Kong Changming from the county household office."

"Oh, so this Ma Rong is Master Kong's nephew?"

This question was too straightforward. How could the servant in soap clothes outside the door dare to admit it?

"The officials don't know."

"Then please go back and thank Master Kong for teaching me a lesson... Li Zheng!"

"My subordinate is here!"

Li Zheng threw down his job and stood up with a "chun" sound.

"Go, break Master Ma's other leg, and send two more people to carry him. He will go to the South City Tower for a walk and tell the soldiers at the South City Gate that this is the consequences of disobeying my general's orders!"

"yes!"

Li Zheng grabbed the sheathed Yanling sword leaning against his side and strode out of the hall with a grin.

The two servants in soap clothes waiting outside the door had their eyelids twitching and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

Not long after, a high-pitched scream sounded outside the door, and then it stopped suddenly, as if he fainted.

Zhang Chu kept holding his rice bowl while eating without even blinking.

The mule and the bear who were eating at the same table exchanged a furtive glance, and both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

They all noticed that their eldest brother was tougher than before.
