Chapter 170
The county lieutenant, taking the meaning of "elimination of traitors, Wei'an and good people", has a long history and has been established as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period.

At the end of the Han Dynasty, Cao Cao and Liu Bei both held this post successively.

In the [-]th year of Cao Cao, Xiaolian was promoted as a man, and he was appointed as the captain of Luoyang North; Liu Bei was a captain of Anxi for his meritorious service against the Yellow Turbans.

In the Tang Dynasty, the authority of the county lieutenant became more and more perfect, and he was also highly respected, earning the reputation of "Shaofu".

For example, Wang Bo wrote "Send Du Shaofu to Shuzhou" for a county lieutenant surnamed Du, in which there is a famous sentence "A confidant in the sea is like a neighbor at the end of the world".

By the Song Dynasty, the post of county lieutenant was more complicated.

The so-called "external troubles, but side affairs, can be prevented. But treachery has no shape, if it is an internal trouble, it is deeply to be feared." .

Therefore, the Song court restrained the vassals and towns, and the power was transferred to the superior, and the power of the township chief and the town general was transferred to the county.

The advantage of doing this is that there is less exploitation by warlords, and the order of people's livelihood is much improved; there are also disadvantages.

To put it simply, the local security and military equipment was taken back and handed over to officials like county captains who were under the control of the central government.

But it's not that the power of the county lieutenant is greater, after all, it is still subject to multi-layer control, but the power of the center is greater...

Li Xia was a county lieutenant at the beginning, and he didn't know much about these complicated powers and positions.

He was only very clear about what he was going to do in the first step, to build a small navy, and to show some edge in the battle of Wuliang and Taiwan to defeat Shu.

The first is manpower.

He got acquainted with the soap class yesterday and the fast class in the morning, and the next step is the strong class that he wants to know more about.

In addition to dozens of people in Qingfu County, there are also more than a hundred archers.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been constant foreign enemies, and border county captains are also responsible for defending against the enemies, and where there are thousands of households in every county, there are bowmen.

For example, when Song and Liao were fighting, Zang Jing, the lieutenant of Guixin County, liked to take the initiative to attack and kill Liao soldiers;
During the Jianyan period, Zhu Liang, the captain of Haiyan County, gathered more than a hundred people from his department to fight against the Jin army;

When Song Gaozong fled to Weiyang, Zhaoxin County Weisun Rong led more than a hundred archers to fight against the Jin soldiers, so that Song Gaozong was able to cross to the south...

Li Xia would definitely not have made such a sacrifice for Emperor Gaozong. What he wanted was to control such military power.

Taking Han Qiaoer around the county, Li Xia also had a general understanding of the distribution of military equipment in the county.

There are three inspection rooms, one in the east of the city, mainly to maintain law and order on the wharf; one in the center of the county, which is convenient for being dispatched by the county government;

There are 160 archers on the list, which seem to be many, but in Li Xia's eyes, they are pitifully few.

It is enough to maintain the law and order in the county and take care of the officialdom.It must be impossible to manage the vast area outside the city.

But on the other hand, Fang Yankai is already very capable, compared to other counties, some of them only have more than a dozen archers.

From this, it can be seen that Fang Yankai obviously received strong support from Shi Jun, and managed Qingfu as a frontier county, without the name of "tight county", but there is a "tight county" in his military equipment...

After walking around like this, Han Qiaoer was also a little dizzy.

"Brother Li, I'll draw the map first, and then go shopping later, otherwise I won't be able to remember it."

"Okay, let's take a break at the tea stall over there, and then go to the patrol room in the southwest, and then go back after watching."

"Okay, you don't have to drink tea."

As the two spoke, they turned to the southwest of the city.

Han Qiaoer raised her head, glanced at Li Xia, subconsciously wanted to pull his sleeve, hesitated for a moment, and then retracted her hand.

"You can pull me when you are tired, it's okay."

"I'm not tired."

"There is chicken stewed in the kitchen, you can eat more at night."

Han Qiaoer finally stretched out her hand to grab Li Xia's sleeve, and asked, "Is that okay? That's the stewed chicken at Jiang County Magistrate's house."

"As long as you ask him, he will definitely agree." Li Xia said, "It's not that we didn't give money."

Thinking of the chicken soup, Han Qiaoer swallowed her saliva, feeling a little embarrassed, and said, "I've become greedy recently."

"You are too thin, and you still eat too little."

"But... Daddy said that my daughter's family can't eat too much. It would be bad if she ate like Brother Liu."

"Mr. Yining doesn't understand." Li Xia said, "It's impossible for you to eat like Liu Jinsuo."

He squinted slightly, with a little pride.

I used to be a fencing player, not a sumo wrestler.

How those female fencing and swimmers managed their bodies was clear, how could it be possible to raise a girl like Liu Jinsuo.

"Don't worry, I'm right about this."

"Okay, I just want to grow taller." Han Qiaoer raised her head, looking forward to it, but also worried.

They were almost on their rounds.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out from the alley and bumped into Li Xia and Han Qiaoer.

Li Xia turned sideways suddenly, and pulled Han Qiaoer to avoid it.

At the same time, he swung out with one punch.

He had a dagger hidden in his sleeve, and he was quite confident in his own force, so he dared to walk around the county without guards.

The figure jumping out of this alley gave Li Xia a strong sense of danger, he shot without hesitation, punched out, and immediately took out the dagger.

……

"You motherfucker! Don't you look at the road when you walk?!"

Bao San just bumped into it, and he was already yelling.

Unexpectedly, it hit a void.

Li County Lieutenant's quick reaction took him by surprise.

Before he could stop the figure, the fist wind had already struck in front of him.

Bao San narrowed his one-eyed eyes, and was about to avoid it.

In the blink of an eye, a thought popped up, and he simply didn't avoid it.

"Oh!"

The force of this punch was far beyond Bao San's expectations.

He only felt a "buzz" in his head, and he almost lost consciousness for a moment.

Opening one eye again, the person in a trance has fallen to the ground.

Nosebleeds.

Bao San raised his head and saw Li County Lieutenant was already holding a dagger in his hand, looking at him very defensively.

After being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses and screamed.

"what!"

"elder brother!"

In the alley opposite, Jiang Fan had rushed out.

I saw Li County Lieutenant raised his foot and kicked Jiang Fan straight away...

~~
"Team Wu! It's not good, Brother Bao was beaten!"

"what?!"

"The imperial court has sent another little traitor to attack Yu Shuai's old soldier." Huang Shi yelled, "Just in the street ahead, beat the brothers to death!"

"Hozen! Brothers, go and help your brother!"

"Damn it! When the old men are not violent, the brothers risked their lives to kill the enemy, and have been bullied all the time. They have hid in this celebration talisman, and dare to come to the door!"

"Go, kill him out of the bird! Teach these dogs that I'm not easy to bully!"

Amidst the scolding and shouting, Huang Shi was still crying.

"Big guy, don't be impulsive! That little traitor is an official of the imperial court, and Brother Bao dared not fight back after being beaten until he bled from all his orifices... God, when will we be forced to kill Shuai Yu and kill the king unjustly?" Isn't the general enough!"

"Mother, let's go!"

More than ten archers have rushed out.

Huang Shi cried again: "The imperial court wanted to raid Yu Shuai's house, but Mr. Yu Xiaolang couldn't afford the money. Brother Bao just slapped his head and was stabbed and exiled. If the master didn't protect him, he might have died somewhere. , why not let him go?!"

Someone patted him on the head and said, "Stop howling."

Huang Shi turned his head and saw that it was Wu Ang, the leader of the archer team.

Wu Ang's heart is actually not as excited as it seems on the surface.

He squinted his eyes slightly, looked at his subordinates who rushed out, and said, "Do you still dare to fight? I'm not afraid that things won't end."

Huang Shi saw that there was no one else in the patrol room, and said with a smile: "I really felt wronged for Brother Bao, I was beaten until blood flowed."

"Brother did it on purpose." Wu Ang said, "With my brother's martial arts skills, how could he be beaten by a melon?"

Wu Ang is one of the three archers in Qingfu County and Fang Yankai's confidant.

To drive away the new county lieutenant, he also got through it in advance.

Therefore, he deliberately walked a few steps late, and asked his subordinates to make trouble first, and then he came forward to stop it.

After chatting with Huang Shi for a few words, Wu Ang said, "Let's go, let's go there."

"Isn't it early? Tell the brothers to beat Li County Lieutenant first. He has learned his lesson and knows that he should not fight for power with the landlord."

"I'm afraid of killing people."

"You don't even have a knife." Huang Shi said, "How can you?"

"You make the fire bigger, brothers' fists can kill people."

With that said, Wu Ang led Huang Shi out of the patrol room.

After walking for more than [-] steps, Wu Ang quickened his pace and ran over when he heard the howling in front of him, and saw a scene that surprised him.

The county lieutenant, who was wearing a blue official robe, threw out a fist, hitting an archer until he hugged his head and screamed.

He has a nimble figure, but it's not that he didn't get hit, but he was punched and kicked like a normal person, and his shots were much heavier than those of the archers, and he knocked down two more in an instant.

And several people have fallen on the ground...

Wu Ang opened his mouth, still in disbelief.

"This little county lieutenant... is so capable of fighting?"
