Chapter 85
Tang Yin delegated such great authority to Letian, and the latter was naturally very excited. He cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you, sir!"
"Haha!" Tang Yin said with a smile: "You can ask me for any conditions you have. As long as they are within my ability, I will definitely satisfy you. However, I only have one request. You must be in the final stage. Train an outstanding spy team for me within a short period of time, and at the same time, you also want me to see your results, is there any problem?"
Without thinking, Lotte immediately replied: "No problem, sir!"
"Very good!" Tang Yin looked up and smiled. After a moment, he suddenly paused again and was silent in thought.
I don't know what he was thinking, but his eyes kept moving.
After a while, he raised his head and said slowly: "One spy team may not be enough." After that, he looked at Ai Jia again and said: "Ai Jia, like Letian, you are also responsible for forming a spy team. The establishment is the same, tentatively set at 500 people. I don’t ask you for any cooperation between the two of you. I just want to see the results of both of you. If you do well, you will be rewarded and even expanded. If you don’t do well, you will be rewarded. Of course there will be penalties and even downsizing, I hope neither of the two will be eliminated in the end!"
Ai Jia never dreamed that Tang Yin would assign her the same position as Lotte. She couldn't react. She sat in the chair for a while and then suddenly woke up. She stood up from the chair and said in a deep voice uncomfortably. : "Subordinates take orders!"
Others may not have heard what Tang Yin said, but Ai Jia felt it in her heart. Tang Yin had always looked down on herself, not for anything else but because she was a woman. Tang Yin said these words. You don't need to guess to know that he was mainly talking about her. Said. His contempt actually aroused Ai Jia's unwillingness to admit defeat.
Yes, in terms of being in charge of intelligence, she was not as suitable as Lotte, but she didn't want to admit defeat, let alone be looked down upon by others, especially Tang Yin.
Everyone present was surprised by Tang Yin's arrangement, including Lotte and Ai Jia who were involved.
In fact, one excellent intelligence team is enough, why do we need two? A waste of human and financial resources.
Among everyone, only Qiu Zhen understood Tang Yin's thoughts best. After following Tang Yin for so long, I have gradually adapted to his habits. Tang Yin especially likes competition. The saying "survival of the fittest and elimination of the unfit" is used by him very well. As early as when he was the commander of the Second Corps, he Letting the ten subordinate captains compete, compare and compete with each other, the results were unexpectedly good, and now he is using this trick again.
Qiu Zhen also only wanted to be half right. Tang Yin did intend to let Letian and Ai Jia compete with each other, but he did not have high hopes for Ai Jia. His main purpose was to use her to stimulate Letian and make Letian do his best.
But what he never expected was that Ai Jia, who was not favored by him at first, did much better than he expected. The two intelligence agencies have always kept pace with each other, and were crowned by their respective heads in the future. Unique signature on it.
The intelligence organization that Lotte was responsible for was named "Sky Eye", Ai Jia's intelligence organization was named "Diwang", Tianyan and Diwang and the "Dark Arrow" composed of dark spiritual cultivators in the future, these three organizations became Tang Yin The most important intelligence and investigation agencies under his command have also made great contributions to Tang Yin's great cause and have continued to do so. Of course, these are things for later.
After deciding to spy on his subordinates, Tang Yin began to inquire about the status of recruiting new soldiers.
Both Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong looked embarrassed. They were not optimistic about the recruitment of new soldiers. Over the past few days, the recruitment orders were issued, but very few recruits came to sign up to join the army. The people seemed to rather go hungry than join the army.
Tang Yin found it difficult to understand. Now that the problems of military resources, military pay, and food and grass have been solved, why can't we still recruit new soldiers?
Bai Yong smiled bitterly and said: "Every time we fight with the barbarians, we lose troops and generals, and the soldiers are killed and wounded countless times. If this happens again and again, how can the people still be willing to join the army?"
That’s right! Tang Yin nodded to express his understanding. It seems that if you want to improve the dilemma of conscription, you can only win a victory against the barbarians. Even an inconspicuous small victory can have an inspiring effect.
He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what the recruitment situation is, daily training must continue."
Later, he arranged for Guyue to conduct close combat training for the entire army, Li Wei for long-range archery training, Bai Yong for riding training, and Zhang Zhou for battle array training.
After making arrangements, everyone took orders one after another. Only Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong were puzzled. The three regiments in Pingyuan County were all infantry regiments. Why did they need to train so many skills? They did not dare to ask questions on the spot. They waited until the meeting Finally, I found Qiu Zhen and asked.
Qiu Zhen smiled and explained Tang Yin's style of leading troops to the two of them in detail. After listening to his introduction, Zhang Zhou and Bai Yong understood Tang Yin's style. It was not bad, but training like this would make the soldiers below suffer.
After the meeting, everyone left one after another.
Tang Yin returned to his bedroom and was about to take a shower when there was a knock on the door outside.
"recently!"
As the door opened, a servant in his early twenties approached from outside.
"Sir!" The servant walked up to Tang Yin and bowed deeply and respectfully.
"Is something wrong?" Tang Yin looked at him curiously.
"This..." The servant hesitated.
"If you have anything to say, tell me immediately!" Tang Yin said impatiently. He acts neatly and neatly, and likes to get along with such people. He can't bear it when others can't say a complete sentence for a long time in front of him.
"It's like this," the servant said cautiously, "Sir, there is no food or vegetables in the house."
"That's it?" Tang Yin was almost angry.
"Yes!"
"Why don't you sell it?"
"No...no money!" the servant whispered.
"No money?" Tang Yin raised his eyebrows. He brought a lot of silver with him when he came from Yancheng. Later, he got more than 100,000 taels of silver from the governor Yu He. Although some of it was used for military pay, there was still a lot left. How could there be no money?
The servant was very smart and saw that Tang Yin had misunderstood him, so he quickly said: "Your Excellency didn't give you any money, so we don't have money to buy food. Your Excellency, the house... the house lacks a housekeeper, so everything is inconvenient..."
ah! I see! Only then did Tang Yin suddenly realize. He rarely worries about these trivial matters. When he was in Yancheng, he lived in a house provided by Wumei. There were all servants and housekeepers there, and everything was taken care of. Now in Pingyuan County, the original housekeeper of the county magistrate's office has followed the original housekeeper. The county governor has returned to Yancheng, and there are only some unpopular servants left in the mansion.
"Okay, I understand." Tang Yin nodded and pondered for a moment. Seeing that his servant hadn't left yet, he patted his forehead, casually took out a piece of silver from his pocket, handed it to his servant, and said, "Take this money first." Go and use it, I will find a housekeeper as soon as possible."
"This..." You don't need so much silver to buy food, just some copper coins. The servant looked at the white silver ingots and didn't dare to reach out to pick them up.
Tang Yin was impatient and forced the money into his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, just go back first!"
"Yes... yes! Sir!" The servant vomited, turned around and walked out.
Steward, where can I find a steward? Tang Yin also understands the importance of a housekeeper. If you want to find one, you have to find someone who is trustworthy and capable.
After much deliberation, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate, so he finally lay down on the bed and ignored the matter for the time being.
At night, everything is silent and extremely peaceful.
The county magistrate's mansion was quiet, with no lights on. There were no patrolling officers or soldiers in the huge mansion. It was lifeless and strange, like a ghost house.
In the darkness, two figures suddenly climbed over the wall and flashed into the courtyard of the county magistrate's mansion.
As Tang Yin expected, Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao did come to seek revenge.
These two brothers relied on their spiritual martial arts and were respected and favored wherever they went. This time they were captured by Tang Yinshi's trick. How could they swallow this bad breath in their hearts? What's more, Tang Yin tried his best to ridicule and ridicule the two of them. The two brothers wanted to peel off their skin and break their bones.
The two of them made up their minds. This time they sneaked into the county magistrate's house to assassinate Tang Yin to vent their hatred. After the incident was completed, they could go back and continue to be their bandits. At the same time, in order to avoid being implicated, they could also let their brother go to the official position. Jiuping went with the two of them, which could be said to be a multi-purpose achievement.
The two of them seemed to have a special understanding of the terrain and conditions of the county magistrate's mansion. After the recent visit, they went straight to the bedroom where Tang Yin slept without taking unnecessary detours.
Soon, the two brothers sneaked outside the bedroom door.
Both of them were wearing spiritual armor and holding spiritualized spears. The two of them squatted outside the door for a while, listening to the movements around them. After not noticing anything unusual, they looked at each other and smiled.
Shangguan Yuanbiao said softly: "Third brother, you stay outside while I go in and kill the traitor!"
"Fourth brother, you let me know, I'll go in!"
"I go first!"
"I go first!"
The two brothers kept arguing with each other, and finally, they decided to enter together.
Shangguan Yuanwu pushed the door gently and found that it was not locked at all. The door slowly opened.
He snorted coldly in his heart. It seemed that Tang Yin was completely unprepared. He must have thought that no one dared to assassinate him, the county guard.
Shangguan Yuanwu opened the door to a gap, then shook his head towards his brother and stepped in sideways.
The two brothers moved quickly and quickly without making any noise. They entered the room. Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao raised their legs, landed lightly, and walked straight to the bed.
The room was dark, and upon closer inspection, there seemed to be someone lying on the bed. They couldn't see clearly, and could only vaguely make out his outline. The two brothers didn't know if that was Tang Yin, but there was a county magistrate's official uniform hanging on the hanger by the window. .
No need to ask, this must be Tang Yin's bedroom, and the person on the bed must be Tang Yin.
Shangguan Yuanwu and Shangguan Yuanbiao's eyes flashed fiercely at the same time. Without any words, the two brothers raised the spirit spears in their hands at the same time. After walking to the bedside, they didn't waste a moment. They took in enough breath. Both of them tried their best to chop down the spirit spear in their hands.
Phew!
As the cold light flashed, blood burst out.
