Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

With the road guide prepared by Jinyiwei in advance, Li Xiu led a few teenagers without much thought, and passed the city gate and entered the county.

Speaking of which, this is the second time that Li Xiu has entered the city of this era. The last time he went to the capital more than half a year ago.

In front of this Shanyin County, it is naturally impossible to have the hustle and bustle of the capital, but it also has a market atmosphere that the capital does not have.

The long street is not spacious, there are many shops on both sides, the stalls and hawkers keep shouting, the streets are bustling with people, a touch of golden light is sprinkled from the sky, and the lively scenery of the ancient city is clearly reflected in Li Xiu's eyes. .

Looking around, Li Xiu didn't stay too long in this noisy place. After leaving a young man here to meet other people who entered the city, he led the other two young men to the city.

Up to now, the first thing of course is to find a place to stay. This is not a difficult task. Li Xiu didn’t wait for Li Xiu to ask. After a lot of trouble, he rented a house in Shanyin County as a place to stay.

As for the silver, Qianhu had prepared a purse for each team when they left. Although Li Xiu didn't take a closer look, there were at least dozens of taels of snowflake silver, which was enough for them to live in peace for a long time.

Of course, if you don't hide your identity this time, and directly find the county government to show your identity, I am afraid that this money will not be spent at all.

The house is located in the northwest corner of the county seat. It is quite secluded because it is far away from several main streets in the city. It didn't take long for the teenagers under Li Xiu to come to this courtyard one after another.

The first mission, coupled with such a big mansion, really made this group of teenagers who had never seen anything in the world excited.

One by one, he looked around and looked around, and the young man's character showed a little bit more.

Li Xiu didn't stop anything, and after instructing everyone, called Erwazi, and the two left the house.

The gate of the house is a narrow alley, and there are families on both sides of the alley. Looking around, Li Xiu took a step and walked towards the city.

"Brother Xiu, what are we doing out here?"

Erwazi walked aside, looked around for a while, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Walk around."

"We are new here, we don't know anything, let's see what's going on first."

"oh oh."

Erwazi nodded again and again without asking any more questions, and followed Li Xiu honestly.

Shanyin County is not big, and it took more than half an hour for the two of them to stroll around this Shanyin County.

Li Xiu also had a general understanding of the county seat.

Taking the main street that runs through the east and west gates as the boundary, the south is obviously more prosperous, and the north is slightly dilapidated. Behind the main street, you can see a large number of shantytowns that are difficult to shelter from the wind and rain. The county government is in the center of the county, in the county Near the east and west gates, it seems to be the barracks of the inspector...

"If the three inspectors..."

After strolling around, on the way back to the house, Li Xiu recalled what he had seen and heard in the city, but he couldn't help thinking about it to himself.

Jinyiwei came from the White Lotus Sect on this trip, and he was ordered by the emperor to inspect the White Lotus Sect. As a Jinyiwei, even if it was only a small banner, he could ask for orders to mobilize the military forces of Shanyin County when necessary.

With such assistance, Li Xiu was naturally quite concerned about the military strength of Shanyin County.

According to the system of the Ming Dynasty, in an ordinary county, in addition to the dozens of yamen under the direct jurisdiction of the magistrate, there are only county inspections.

The county inspection department is responsible for arresting criminals, inspecting illicit salt, maintaining law and order, and suppressing rebellions when necessary. It can be said that it is the most important military force in ordinary county towns.

And there are three inspection divisions in Shanyin County, which means that there are three inspection divisions in Shanyin County. The county inspection system is naturally not that big. Each inspection should have no more than 100 people at most. Sex, it is inevitable to eat some empty wages, and the strength of the three patrol officers is estimated to be in the early 200s at most.

Moreover, of the three county inspection divisions, only one is in the county seat, and the other two are in towns outside the county seat.

This also means that the garrison of the entire county, always plus the group of yamen, is only a hundred or so.

Li Xiu couldn't help but stammered after he understood all of this. He finally knew why the ancient peasant uprisings always swept across a large area easily.

The county seat of this era covers an extremely wide area, but each county seat, except for those military strongholds, an ordinary county seat, even if it is full of troops, it will only have a mere two or three hundred troops at most.

These two or three hundred troops are still very scattered, just like this Shanyin County, with a mental calculation, dozens of bandits can easily capture this county.

When Fucheng reacts, sending troops to encircle and suppress it, back and forth, it will be at least more than a month later.

Even if it can be easily wiped out, the impact of the war cannot be eliminated in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help shaking his head secretly~www.wuxiahere.com~ This is the limitation of the times, and it is basically impossible to change things before fast long-distance communication occurs.

As his thoughts flowed, Li Xiu led Erwazi back to the mansion.

At this time, the curiosity of the teenagers in the house was almost dissipated. They sat around the courtyard and boasted and chatted. When they saw Li Xiu returning, they quickly stood up subconsciously.

"Come here, I just went out for a spin, and I probably learned a little about the situation. Let's discuss what to do!"

Hearing Li Xiu's words, the group of teenagers naturally didn't dare to neglect, and they all trotted over immediately, and finally gathered in front of Li Xiu.

"In this way, Erwazi and you, go to the shanty town over there. There are poor people in distress. The White Lotus Sect likes this kind of place the most. Immediately notify me if you find out…”

"Wu Tie, you guys just go to the street. Whenever there are a lot of people, go to inquire about it. Be careful, let's not reveal our identities for the time being..."

Just as Li Xiu was making arrangements, Wu Tie suddenly interrupted, but Li Xiu's voice stopped abruptly.

"Brother Xiu, isn't it better for us to go directly to the county government to reveal our identity and let the county government send someone to help us check?"

These words came into his ears, and Li Xiu suddenly looked at Wu Tie. Although Wu Tie hadn't said a word yet, Wu Tie shrank back in fright.

"Our identity is Jin Yiwei, and we swagger over there. It won't be long before the whole county knows that Jin Yiwei has come to check the Bailian Sect!"

"The White Lotus Sect is not an idiot. It has been hidden deeper than a mouse. How can I investigate it after making such a fuss?"

"When the time comes, the enemy will be dark and I will know, if they really do something wrong, it will be caught off guard!"
