Chapter 54
It was rare for Yang Yichuan to have some free time, but he was unexpectedly disturbed by someone. This outsider Yang Yichuan also knew was the head of the Zhou family.He came here in person and shouted "It's not good". Could it be that something big happened?

"Be clear, what's wrong?"

"Your Highness, after the Guo family and the Lu family were expelled from the Chamber of Commerce, I wanted to take a batch of goods to Chang'an City to explore the situation and see if I could resume the business of the Xihe Chamber of Commerce."

"Well, I know that too. If the Gongsun family is sensible, it would be good for the Xihe Chamber of Commerce to reopen. If not, change the city. Changshan City in Changzhou is also good. Could it be the Gongsun family?"

"No, it's bandits, Xifeng Village in Xifeng Mountain. They robbed the goods, and killed all the guards I sent. Only a small leader was released, and he said, in the future, what we send, they want Eighty percent."

Yang Yichuan's face was solemn, angry, and his brows were furrowed. Yang Yichuan did not expect that the bandits were still so rampant.

"But before, weren't the Guo family and the Lu family all right? Why did they do it this time?"

"I don't know about this. It seems that Xifeng Village has been merged. It is said that now Xifeng Village is the second head of the original one-eyed Jiao Duan Jiangliu. Moreover, it is very likely that not only our family has suffered. People from other families Probably only a little slower than my Zhou family, my captain wanted to return along the way after he woke up, but he didn’t see anyone from the other families along the way.”

"Xifeng Mountain, the geographical location is really good. If you go by land, you have to pass through this area, whether you are going to Beiyuan Prefecture or Changzhou. If you want to take a detour, you have to bypass Xifeng Mountain, which will add several days to the journey."

"This West Wind Village has really posed a big problem for me. If you go by water, you can't reach Chang'an City, you can only go to Changqing City, which is similar to Changshan City."

"Forget it, I will take care of this matter. You go to inform the other families first, and have a meeting tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Highness."

……

Yang Yichuan is really speechless, he can't be idle for a moment, Zhou Deren, you send someone to investigate, this Xifeng Village.

"Yes, Your Highness." The intelligence personnel arranged by Yang Yichuan were actually recruited and trained by Zhou Deren.Originally, some people who failed to select the pro-guards could perform these tasks with a little training.

Yang Yichuan also believed that the news should be found out soon. At this stage, it is necessary to stabilize the people in these chambers of commerce and discuss countermeasures.In this way, if the problem of Xifeng Village is not resolved for a day, the land route will probably not be opened.

"It seems that it's time to reform the city guards and train an army that can fight, Xihe Army."

"Deren, immediately call Master Li and other important officials in the city, as well as General Lin. Let's go to Master Li's house to discuss something."

Yang Yichuan returned to the house and looked at his group of friends, feeling a little sorry.

Yang Yichuan's place in playing mahjong was soon taken by Yan Yuzhang and Xiaoxiang. "Boss, if you have something to do, just go and do it by yourself. Xiaoxiang Liuli will take care of us and nothing will happen to us."

"That's good. When you go out, remember to bring your personal guards. Don't worry about it. Xihe City is not safe."

"Understood, you don't want to be mother-in-law."

"That's right, Brother Chuan, when you nag, you're more annoying than my father." Even Yang Ruxu thought he was being long-winded, and Yang Yichuan knew what was going on, so he didn't plan to say more.

Yang Yichuan took Zhou Deren and set off immediately. This matter is not a big deal, but it is not a small matter.The location of Xifeng Mountain is a key place, and it can be regarded as the only place that Xihe Prefecture must pass through to the mainland.Coupled with the limited water transportation, most of the transportation still has to be transported by land.

……

At Li Ru's house, Yang Yichuan was already waiting for the arrival of Lin Tu and other officials from Xihe City.Li Ru was also surprised by Yang Yichuan's sudden arrival. Under normal circumstances, Yang Yichuan was not someone who liked coming to him.According to Li Ru's understanding of Yang Yichuan, Yang Yichuan prefers to do new things in his house, or simply relax and relax.

"Your Highness, why are you here?"

"It's something big. Has Mr. Li heard of Xifeng Village?"

"Xifengzhai? Is it the Xifengzhai in Xifeng Mountain at the junction of the three states?"

"That's right, this West Wind Village has been a disaster for the people for many years, and now it's even targeting our Xihe Chamber of Commerce. So, I decided to move this West Wind Village."

Li Ru had a deep understanding of Yang Yichuan's boldness and determination. When he said that he wanted to wipe out the Wild Wolf Gang, the City Guards immediately acted to turn the Wild Wolf Gang into smoke. "It's just that this Xifeng Village is no better than the Wild Wolf Gang. It is outside Xihe City and occupies a favorable terrain. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Our Xihe Prefecture has no other troops except the Dingsha Army stationed in Dingsha City. The strength of the City Guard Army may be enough to protect Xihe City, but it will be powerless to suppress the bandits."

"I know, so I plan to expand the City Guards and divide them into two, the City Guards and the Xihe Army. The City Guards are responsible for guarding Xihe City on weekdays, while the Xihe Army develops into a regular army."

"However, this privately trains the army, Your Majesty."

"Don't worry, it's okay, my father is not that kind of person. What's more, I don't have such thoughts. I would rather be content and be at ease."

"It's true, Your Highness will not have second thoughts about His Majesty, and His Majesty naturally believes in Your Highness."

Soon Lin Tu arrived, as did other officials of all sizes from Xihe City.Yang Yichuan really couldn't understand why there were so many officials, large and small, in Xihe City.

Seeing so many people doing this, Yang Yichuan was also a little speechless, okay, so be it.Yang Yichuan also had an extra plan in mind, it seems that these officials will be streamlined when necessary.Yang Yichuan couldn't control other places, but Xihe city and Xihe state were necessary.

Divide the tasks well, take care of what should be taken care of, and make no troubles.Of course, this is all a future plan. The most important thing now is to prepare to recruit troops and divide the city guard into two.

Yang Yichuan and the others were almost here, so they were ready to announce the matter. In fact, Lin Tu was the main one, and other officials were the assistants.

"I called you here today to inform you that the Xifeng Village in Xifeng Mountain has gradually grown in recent years. Now it's time to stop, so I decided to send the Xihe Army to suppress the bandits."

"Xihe Army? Where is this army?"

"The terrain of Xifeng Village is easy to defend but difficult to attack. I'm afraid we can't take down Xifeng Village without a force five times his size."

"Your Highness, think twice, not to mention that Xifengzhai is easy to defend and difficult to attack, relying solely on the strength of Xihe City, with insufficient armor, insufficient food and grass, I'm afraid..."

"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here to listen to these things. The city guard army is divided into two, and one part retains the current situation and serves as the city guard army for a period of five years. Those who do not have a military position can retire. Those who have a military position You can choose to retire or stay in the city guard for five years."

"The other part, renamed the Xihe Army. The Xihe Army is a regular army. It is the main force to destroy the Xifeng Village. It may also fight against the invasion of the Beiyuan people in the future. For a three-year period, the dead and injured will be compensated by the Prince's Mansion. Those who are serious can be discharged from the army. In the future, a hero monument will be built in Xihechengxi District to commemorate the great achievements of the soldiers who died in the army and made great contributions. "

"Let this matter be handed over to General Lin as the leader, and try to rely on the volunteers of the sergeants. The treatment of the two armies will also be different. After all, the responsibilities are different, and the management methods will also be different."

"As for the matter of money and silver, I won't bother you. I will take care of it. I will build two more granaries in the city. I will be responsible for these two granaries. The granaries you are in charge of must also ensure sufficient food. In case of natural disasters, you must Rely on these to help the people."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"General Lin, is it okay to divide the city guard into two?"

"No problem, just who should be the commander of the two armies?"

"You mainly focus on the Xihe Army. As for the more trivial tasks of the City Guard Army, set up four deputy commanders, and they will be in charge on weekdays. If there is any major matter, you can report it to General Lin or me. The candidates for the four deputy commanders will be determined by General Lin."

"Yes, Your Highness." Lin Tu was a guilty person. He originally thought that he would never go to the battlefield again in this life, and might spend his whole life in the school grounds of the City Guards.But he never thought that Yang Yichuan would give him such a chance, a chance to suppress bandits.Lin Tu knew better that the future of the Xihe Army was definitely not as simple as suppressing bandits. Of course Lin Tu was very excited, he could feel his blood that had been silent for many years began to boil again.
