Volume 4: Following the Dragon and Slaying the Dragon Chapter 99 Plan
After having the direction of integration, Wang Liang began to integrate his own troops.
If before the integration, Wang Liang's men only cared about a large mansion that looked like that of an aristocratic family, then after the integration, Wang Liang really had a feeling of establishing a government.
Now Wang Liang’s palace has become more like a small force, spreading out in all directions with his main residence as the center.
There is one layer within the scope of his main residence, another layer in the mountain villages outside the main residence, and another layer in the three county towns outside that are not yet under his control.
When he takes over a larger territory in the future, there may be a new layer.
It is precisely because of this idea that Wang Liang has begun to push the construction concept towards the mountains and fields outside the main house.
He was planning to provide his ethnic troops with some camps for training and living.
After all, even if they are zombie goblins, they still need a place to live. At the same time, they also need to undergo formal training, and they need to be arranged to do patrol work, etc.
Just as Song Xiu said, it is a waste of these little monsters' strength to just let them serve as troops but not let them do any work they can do.
Taking this opportunity, Wang Liang reorganized the little monsters and sorted out a new group of peripheral troops.
Although Wang Liang suffered some losses in this battle, his strength became even stronger.
This integration did not stop until Wang Liang sorted out all the things that were looted from the Xiao family.
At this time, the situation in the three nearby counties had also come to an end. Beixin County had been occupied by Qiao Zun, who served as the temporary county magistrate. There was no good candidate for Nanyu County, and it was now temporarily managed by Wang Liang, but no staff had been arranged to manage it.
As for the Xiao family in Siming County, they had all left, and the City God invited by Wang Liang temporarily took over the control of Siming County.
The three different situations in these three counties were not deliberately arranged by Wang Liang, but he really did not have the manpower to take over the matter.
If Song Xiu was still alive, Wang Liang might have sent him to take over the affairs of Siming County, but as for a zombie to take over the affairs of Siming County, not to mention whether Wang Liang was willing to do it, even if he pushed Song Xiu up, he would most likely face dissatisfaction from other counties.
After all, this world is still a human world, and monsters only occupy a very small part of this world.
"Now that the main residence has been integrated, I plan to go to the three nearby counties to take a look and sort out the situations in these three counties. In this way, with these three counties blocking the way in front, whether it is recruiting soldiers or hiding us, we need to deal with these three counties."
After arranging everything in the main house, Wang Liang called housekeeper Xiao Lan, Su Xinliu and Xiao Hui over and told them about his ideas.
These three people are currently the middle and senior management under Wang Liang. Looking at their pensive expressions, Wang Liang felt that he needed an aide and a military advisor.
"That's right. We can't occupy these three counties openly, but we must control them behind the scenes."
Su Xinliu was smart and understood Wang Liang's idea immediately. He said straightforwardly, "I don't think we necessarily need to take control of all three counties. We only need to control the counties and let the rural areas go.
Apart from that, we only need to control those big families and make them willing to identify with us, and those three counties will not be out of our control.
The most important thing for us is to gain command of the garrisons in the three counties."
There was an infantry of 500 men outside each of the three county towns. This was a privilege given to each county-level city by the Qin Dynasty.
They were responsible for clearing out the mountain strongholds outside the county towns, and were also responsible for protecting each county town during battles.
Of course, in the current situation, these troops often become the county magistrates' private armed forces.
Although these three troops are definitely not fully staffed now, there are plenty of people who are willing to sacrifice their lives these days.
As long as Wang Liang holds Dayi, takes command of the three armies, and has sufficient supplies, it will be a simple matter to restore the number of troops.
So after hearing what Su Xinliu said, Wang Liang nodded affirmatively.
"Okay, I will go to the three counties and find someone who can talk to me about this matter. I believe they will be willing to hand over the management rights of the three garrisons."
Wang Liang nodded, indicating that he knew about it.
At this time, Su Xinliu said again: "Master, after taking control of the three garrisons, we should also expand our influence. It would be a waste if we don't do something with the three counties in our hands.
It is still more than two years away from the time they mentioned. Although important materials such as steel and grain have begun to be restricted at this time, commercial circulation is still necessary. In addition, we need a large amount of grain. If we can control the villages under the three county towns now, it means we have two years to accumulate enough food. "
"That's fine. We just robbed the Xiao family and got a lot of useless gold and silver. We can use these to pay taxes and save all the grain handed in by the farmers. Su Xinliu, you will keep an eye on this matter. Grain will become an important material in the future.
Also, Butler Xiaolan, how much pig iron do we have left?"
"Including what was just put into storage a while ago, we still have about 350,000 kilograms of pig iron."
"What about the animal hides that can be used to make leather armor?"
"Thirty-seven thousand pieces."
Little Blue Butler is well aware of these data.
"Put some of it aside to equip these three troops with 1,500 men ." It can be seen that Wang Liang now regards these three troops as his own subordinates.
"Okay." Butler Xiao Lan nodded and agreed to the request.
The next things were much simpler. Wang Liang’s goal was to absorb the three counties within a year, and then use another year to expand his territory.
After more than two years, Wang Liang needs to control at least one road, so that he can have a good result in the subsequent melee.
After determining his target, Wang Liang looked at Su Xinliu again.
"How's your investigation into Qingshi going?"
Upon hearing this, Su Xinliu quickly said, "We have already arranged for someone to check. We are not sure about the rest. The only thing we know is that they have a cavalry team of 50 people in Dongfeng Town."
"Cavalry. Cavalry in this mountainous area? What's wrong with their brains?"
Wang Liang took the intelligence and took a look at it. "Forget it, let's kill them first."
