Chapter 184: Those who enter the Secret Martial Guard will only die!

183
"Has the messenger left?"

"Gone!" replied the old servant.

Tan Jingtai stood up and paced back and forth in the yard with his hands behind his back for a long time.

The letter was naturally sent by Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan does not have the habit of doing good deeds without leaving his name. Since he wants to help Tan Jingtai, he naturally wants to let Tan Jingtai know that it is his credit.

After all, Tan Jingtai will be his immediate superior in the future, and he will need Tan Jingtai's help in many areas.

"Grandpa, what's wrong? Are you still going to play chess?"

Tan Jingtai's doubts and hesitation made his little grandson who was playing chess with him feel dissatisfied.

Hearing his grandson's voice, Tan Jingtai stopped and stared at him.

The little person is smart, well-behaved and cute.

This boy is his most beloved grandson, but it's a pity that he came too late.

"Grandpa~~" the little grandson called again.

Tan Jingtai came back to his senses and smiled kindly: "Xiaocheng, you can play by yourself first. Grandpa still has things to deal with."

For the future of his grandson and the family, he should fight for it.

If you don't fight, your grandson's future will have to start from scratch. If you fight, even if you can only help your grandson, it will be worth it.

Thinking of this, Tan Jingtai straightened his back a lot, and the leisurely look in his eyes disappeared, replaced by two sharp gleams of light.

"Prepare the horses and go to the General's Mansion!"

……

Anyuan City, garrison office.

Yang Zhengshan walked from the backyard to the study in the main hall. Zhou Ren, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir, Lord Han sent someone to say that the first batch of soldiers have completed basic training, and the second batch of soldiers will receive training the day after tomorrow. Lord Han wants to ask if you want to go over and take a look when the time comes!"

As Yang Zhengshan walked into the study, he said, "Well, I'll be there when the time comes!"

The soldiers from the garrison outside the city came over for training, and Yang Zhengshan had to show up.

The soldiers must know who feeds them, gives them water, and spends so much effort to train them.

"Lord Wu sent someone to say that Shuiquan Fort has begun renovation, but the money and food in Shuiquan Fort is a little insufficient. He wants our government to allocate some money and food!" Zhou Ren said again.

Yang Zhengshan felt a headache when he heard the words "money and grain".

Although Xu Jin had asked for some food and fodder for him before, the current garrison office was consuming too much money and fodder.

The garrison office had to provide money and food for the training of each batch of soldiers. The garrison outside the city should be self-sufficient in name, but in fact Yang Zhengshan had already subsidized them with a lot of money and food.

Add to that the food and wages for the garrison camp, and Yang Zhengshan would not be able to support such a large business without putting in some effort.

It is no wonder that Chongshan Town declined in the past. If there was no support from above and if the chief officer did not have some ability, the garrison office would only be able to follow suit and shout nonsense but would not be able to do any real work.

"Let him do it first. He should have money and food after a while!" This was all Yang Zhengshan could say.

The position of commander of Songzhou Guard is still vacant, and now he doesn't know who to ask for money and food.

I can't go to find Wang Bin. Wang Sheng sent him a batch of food and fodder a few years ago, and it's only been a few months.

Then Zhou Ren said a few things. In fact, all things boil down to money and food.

Weapons, vehicles, training, people's livelihood, etc. all require money and food.

After Zhou Ren left, Ding Qiu came to the study again.

"Master!" Ding Qiu clasped his fists and bowed.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, "What's the situation?"

Ding Qiu has been out these two days and Yang Zhengshan has not seen him.

"Li Chunhui and his men live in the backyard of the prefectural government office. Due to the tight security, we didn't find much." Ding Qiu said somewhat embarrassedly.

They kept an eye on Li Chunhui for two days but found nothing.

"Nothing?"

"No one contacted him?"

Yang Zhengshan asked with a frown.

"Probably not, we can't enter the backyard of the prefectural government!" Ding Qiu said hesitantly.

Yang Zhengshan sighed softly.

Industry specializing in surgery.

Although Ding Qiu is quite capable, he is not capable of doing this kind of surveillance work.

At this time, Yang Zhengshan was a little envious of Wei Cen, because Wei Cen's subordinates were all good at monitoring.

As for cultivating capable people like Ding San and Ding Si, it is definitely not possible in the short term.

Besides, he didn't know how to do it. Even though he wrote a lot about the training methods of spies and scouts in the military training records, it was just theory after all. He didn't have much confidence in himself when it came to training spies.

"Go and invite Ding San over!" Yang Zhengshan said after a moment of hesitation.

"Here!"

Ding San and his colleagues are cooperating with Li Chunhui and others to search the house. Of course, their so-called cooperation is actually more like a form of surveillance to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to embezzle money.

However, Ding Qiu quickly invited Ding San over.

"Greetings, Lord Yang!" Ding San was as respectful to Yang Zhengshan as ever.

"Well, I have something to ask you!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile: "Does your secret guard have any spies who have retreated?"

"Those who retired!" Ding San was a little confused. Yang Zhengshan nodded, "Yes, those who were injured or had to leave the Secret Guard for other reasons."

He had no authority to mobilize Ding San and others, nor could he go to Wei Cen for everything. Moreover, Wei Cen would be leaving Chongshan Town in a while, so he wondered if he could train a group of people like the Secret Guards himself.

You don't need too many, a dozen or so is enough.

If he encounters surveillance again in the future, he will not be left without anyone to use.

"Sir, those who enter the Secret Guards will only die!" Ding San said calmly.

Yang Zhengshan was stunned. Damn it, the Secret Guards don’t allow anyone to retire!
But think about it, who are the people in the Secret Guard?

Death soldiers, the emperor’s death soldiers.

No one knows how many evil things they have done in secret for the emperor.

If someone left the Secret Guards and told others what they had done, the old emperor would be embarrassed.

"Oh, I just want to train some scouts in the army, but unfortunately I can't find a suitable instructor!" Yang Zhengshan said with some regret.

Training scouts was just an excuse; his goal was to build up the power in his own hands.

Ding San didn't doubt it when he heard it.

He had read the military training records written by Yang Zhengshan and knew that there were many descriptions about spies and scouts, many of which were of great use to them.

"Well, sir, I do have a candidate, but I don't know if he is suitable?" Ding San suddenly said.

"Oh! Who?" Yang Zhengshan became interested.

Ding San hesitated, but still said, "Father!"

Yang Zhengshan looked at him in astonishment.

Most of the members of the Secret Guard are hereditary, meaning that all their descendants are members of the Secret Guard, but some are recruited or selected from outside.

Ru Wei Cen joined the Secret Guards after passing the selection, but after him, all his descendants will be Secret Guards.

His wife and children are all in the Secret Guard’s station, and his children will receive training and cultivation from the Secret Guard since childhood.

"Who is your father?"

Ding San said: "My father was originally a scout of Haizhou Guards. He lost an arm in the battle of Black Cloud Mountain more than 20 years ago. My father taught me all these skills!"

Yang Zhengshan was even more surprised. He didn't expect that Ding San's father was actually his comrade-in-arms.

Alas, they are all wounded soldiers who retreated from the battle of Black Cloud Mountain.

Haizhou is located to the east of Anyuan Prefecture and is adjacent to Anyuan Prefecture. It is the easternmost garrison in Chongshan Town.

"Is he willing to come over?" Yang Zhengshan did not despise a wounded soldier. Wounded soldiers also have their strengths.

The wounded soldiers who survived the Battle of Black Cloud Mountain were all capable soldiers.

"Of course!" Ding San grinned.

He is the only son in the family, but he joined the Secret Guard and can never be filial to his parents in this life.

Although the treatment of the Secret Guards was very good, his parents would not live in poverty or be bullied by income, but he still wanted to give his parents a stable home.

He trusted Yang Zhengshan, so he was willing to entrust his parents to Yang Zhengshan.

"Well, don't worry, as long as your father comes, my Yang family will support him for life!" Although Yang Zhengshan didn't know the situation in Ding San's family, Ding San asked his father to come, which must mean that there was trouble at home.

Since people work for him, he naturally has to take care of them for the rest of their lives.

In fact, no matter whether Ding San’s father can help him or not, he is willing to help Ding San.

Although the Secret Guards are avoided by everyone in the officialdom, it is still very beneficial to make friends with a few of them.

This is true for Wei Cen and Ding San as well.

"Thank you very much, sir!" Ding San bowed to express his gratitude.

Yang Zhengshan quickly stood up and helped him up, saying with a smile: "I should be the one thanking you. You also know what I want to do."

If training scouts was just a trick, how could Ding San not know that?
However, Ding San did not take it to heart.

Which of those families that have been passed down for more than a hundred years does not have a group of servants and guards?
Yang Zhengshan's desire to train some capable servants is not an exception.

"My surname is Zhu, and my father's name is Zhu Shanghe. My father should be able to come here within this month!" Ding San said.

Ding San is not his name, but his number in the Secret Guard.

"Don't worry, I will prepare accommodation in advance!" Yang Zhengshan promised.

Ding San thanked him again.

After sending Ding San away, Yang Zhengshan couldn't help but feel pity for the Secret Guards.

The Secret Guards are very powerful in front of others. Even if they are just ordinary soldiers, most people dare not provoke them easily.

But behind the scenes, the Secret Guards are a group of poor people locked in several shackles.

Just as Yang Zhengshan was sighing, Han Fei walked into the study.

"Sir, there is a prince outside the government office who wants to see you!"

"Prince Wang? Did he introduce himself?"

Yang Zhengshan asked in surprise.

He is the garrison commander of Anyuan City, and not every young master can meet him.

"No, but the other party has several guards with him, and he looks no simple person!" Han Fei said.

not simple!
If Han Fei says that a person is not simple, then he must not be the son of an ordinary family.

Yang Zhengshan thought for a moment and said, "Then please come in!"
