Chapter 273: This King Bears It for You
"Just like this King Jing rebellion, if the official army is defeated because of the ordnance problem, I am afraid that the capital will panic. When the time comes, the emperor will be furious, even if he is martyred in his humble position, he will still have his family. Not only did he never start on this, but even if there was a problem with the ordnance issued by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, the subordinate officials had to fight on the basis of reason. β
"The third is that I never start repairing the city. Because Tiger Prison Pass is the eastern gateway of the capital, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry will allocate a sum of money every year to maintain the city. Now those who are in power know that engineering is the most profitable. Every year, the officials who are in charge of river work, canal dredging, imperial mausoleum construction, and city wall maintenance in various places have a lot of money. β
"The maintenance of the city of this tiger prison, as long as you use a little brain, you can get 5,000 yuan in stone alone every year. And for the maintenance of this city, the Ministry of War has always stipulated that it is responsible for caring for the people and supervising food and wages. But this oil and water is big, the risk is greater, this aspect is greedy, if the city is repaired into tofu scum, there will definitely be a problem. β
"It's okay, once something happens, then the head of the whole family will not be enough to cut off. So, not only does the lowly office never start in this regard. Moreover, the first thing he did after taking office was to repair the city wall of his predecessor, and it was estimated that he kicked all the money into his own pocket, and the repair was so-so. In addition, the rain was too heavy in the previous two years, and the Guancheng, which had collapsed somewhat, was renovated. β
"At that time, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, the money allocated was not enough, and the gap was still raised by the merchants in Guanzhong. is humble himself, and he has also posted thousands of times. Not only was the castle renovated, but the original rammed earth city wall on the west side was all changed to blue brick wrapping. Every year, all the money allocated from above is used for the city. β
"Tiger Prison Pass is located on land and water, and I don't know how many businessmen pass through here every year. Humble officials casually set up a tax card outside the gate, and the annual income does not know how many times more than this aspect. What's more, although there are not many households in this tiger prison, there are many merchants, brothels, and gambling houses. β
"There are a lot of garrisons on this pass, if the merchants here don't have a backstage, can they be harassed by the soldiers? The lowly officials manage these merchants, and they also have the responsibility of supervising the garrison of this tiger prison, and these merchants give a lot of filial piety to the lowly duties every year. With these inputs, with the addition of subsidies from the family and the family, why should the lowly position do anything that hurts the heavens and reason? β
Speaking of this, this Tongzhi Master has a very proud expression, and seems to be a little complacent about the principle he adheres to. Looking at this old man's posture, Huang Qiong was also a little crying and laughing. After letting this fellow know get up, Huang Qiong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since this is the case, then stick to your three principles well, so that you can make a lot of money in the future." β
Huang Qiong's shot made this fellow acquaintance, who was honestly scared before, immediately feel that his bones were lighter. Seeing Huang Qiong signaling that he could go out on an errand, he hurriedly nodded and retreated. Looking at his back, several people in the tent could only look at each other speechlessly. Rao is the commander of Yudu, who has always been old-fashioned, and he can't help but say: "Is this the official of my Great Qi Dynasty?" β
Waving his hand, Huang Qiong, who didn't want to continue to discuss the matter of this fellow acquaintance, looked at Su Changshi in front of him and said: "Lord Su, before leaving from the capital, this king has asked for a decree, after the end of the Zhengzhou counterinsurgency, you will be transferred to the prefect of Zhengzhou, and have full authority to assist this king in dealing with the aftermath of Zhengzhou." How do you think this matter should be handled? β
Hearing Huang Qiong's words, this person has been depressed since he was a jinshi and the first, and he has been on the bench for almost half his life. didn't expect that this time he would be able to get a chance to be released, but it came from this British king who he had always looked down on. raised his head to look at Huang Qiong, although he had been controlling his emotions, his flushed face still betrayed the thoughts in his heart.
Seeing this Su Changshi, who had always had a rigid expression, his face turned red, and Huang Qiong, who guessed what he was thinking about at the moment, waved his hand and said: "At present, the people's livelihood in Zhengzhou is withering, and it can be said that there is a hundred wastes waiting to be revived. It's a muddy pond right now, and this king is pulling you into the water, so you don't need to be grateful to this king. β
"Originally, I was thinking that after I arrived in Zhengzhou, I was talking to you, but now I think about it, it's better to say hello in advance. At least you can have a psychological preparation and think about how to govern after arriving in Zhengzhou in advance, so that Zhengzhou can return to its proper gas phase in the shortest possible time. Over the years, the people of Zhengzhou have been killed too hard. β
"Although you are a little old-fashioned, you are too inflexible. But there is one thing that the king appreciates. That's your wind bones, the wind bones that haven't been wiped out in Beijing all these years. The aftermath of Zhengzhou is quite complicated, and it requires a person like you. This king is to recommend talents for the imperial court, not for selfishness. β
"Most of these rebels are still locals, and now you can say the people under your rule. So, the rules you put forward are very important to this king. You don't have to answer this king immediately, this king gives you a stick of incense time to ponder it carefully. When you think about it, it's not too late to reply to this king. Remember, this is your first post after taking office, and whether you can do it well or not depends on your own ability. β
When Su Changshi heard this, he shook his head slightly and said, "Lord Wang, don't think too much." After the rebels disarmed, Xia Guan once chatted with some of the rebels. It was found that most of them, except for some refugees from Shanxi and Hebei, were natives of Zhengzhou. A considerable number of people were themselves tenants of Jingwangfu, and were recruited by Jingwangfu to reduce part of the land rent. β
"The two main parts that are difficult to handle now are the displaced people from Shanxi and Hebei Road, and the other is the original 3,000 officials and troops of Zhengzhou Prefecture. The rest of the locals are easy to say, and they will be dismissed on the spot after being escorted back to Zhengzhou by the army. Shanxi and Hebei are far away, and the way back home is long, and problems are very likely to occur. In addition, there are 3,000 officers and soldiers, all of whom are veterans, and there are many ruffians among them. β
"They had participated in the rebellion, and it was impossible for the court to stay. If they are dismissed on the spot, they will no longer be able to farm after many years in the army, and after returning home, they are afraid that they will have no food and clothing, and it is easy for them to settle in the mountains and forests, or become bandits. Moreover, most of these 3,000 officers and soldiers are the backbone of the rebel army. Therefore, the most difficult thing to deal with is these 3,000 officers and soldiers. β
"In fact, the rebels on Hebei and Shanxi roads are easier to deal with. I took a look at these rebels, and most of them were hardcover men. The defenders of Tiger Prison Pass fought fiercely with the rebels for many days, and there were many casualties, and the imperial court could choose some of them to supplement the Tiger Prison Pass army. In addition, the rest of the rebels can also choose to be partially strong and re-replenish into the Zhengzhou Guard. β
Regarding Su Changshi's line of thought, Huang Qiong hadn't spoken yet, but the commander of Yu Du over there sighed for a while and said: "Su Changshi, this is Lao Cheng's words to seek the country." It's just that according to the order of the imperial court, every year there is a shortage of casualties and escapes among the armies because of the withdrawal of the old army, and the registration of the military garrison road in the summer of each year is compiled and summarized to the military department in the autumn. β
"After the autumn harvest, the military department and the Privy Council will designate the states and counties, and the soldiers will prepare the road and the regiments of the various state capitals to train the recruits to be strong. The commanders of each province will supplement the armies after unified training. Including the guards and sailors from all walks of life, it is strictly forbidden to recruit the strong on their own. All recruited non-commissioned officers are not allowed to serve in the local army. β
In order to prevent desertion, local conscription is strictly prohibited. Not to mention that the garrison of Tiger Prison Pass does not have this right, that is, the envoys of the Zhulu Festival and the defense ambassadors of the various departments of the border army do not have this right. Lord Wang, although these thousands of homeless people are all strong, if they want to replenish the Tiger Prison Pass, the final general thinks that it is better to think about it in the long run. β
This was a little worried, but Huang Qiong shook his head and said, "Lord Yu, this king thinks that Su Changshi's words are still to the point. The local rebels in Zhengzhou are easy to deal with, but the difficulties are those from Hebei and Shanxi. If these people are discharged on the spot, they are very likely to have accidents on their way home. Now that wartime has not been lifted, wartime cannot be rigidly confined to customization. β
"Right now, the three thousand elites in the Tiger Prison have been fighting hard for two days, plus the soldiers who can't continue after being seriously injured, nearly half of them have been lost. Tiger Prison Pass is also a strategic town, and we can't wait for the imperial court to slowly replenish it. When the uncles of the military department and the Privy Council remembered it, the daylily was cold. β
"However, the sergeants replenished by the Tiger Prison Pass cannot all use the rebels. In this way, you take out a charter and transfer some veterans who are older and no longer suitable for field warfare from the cavalry battalion to stay as the backbone. The team leader who should be promoted to the gang leader, and the team leader who should be promoted to the team leader. β
"The rest of the deficiencies are to be supplemented by those who are willing to join the army from the rebels of Hebei and Shanxi. The gap in your cavalry camp is also prioritized from this group of people. The rest were all transferred to Zhengzhou to reorganize the guards. Among them, the military attachΓ© and the backbone are also drawn from your cavalry battalion. β
"That is to say, the military attachΓ©s and veterans, use your cavalry battalion, and the rest of the recruits are selected from the able-bodied ones who have been swept in by the rebels. The military attache needed to reorganize the Zhengzhou Guard, you make a list for this king. Also, your cavalry battalion has transferred candidates for military attachΓ© replacements, and you have also made a list for this king. β
"You draft it right away, and the king uses the seal directly. In the military department, the king wrote an excerpt, and the emperor was rushed to play 800 miles. This king now has the right to dispose of the envoy in Zhengzhou, and has been granted the right to make decisions by his father, so he must still have the right. As for the 3,000 guards in Zhengzhou Mansion, this is absolutely unusable. How to deal with them is a headache. β
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong pondered for a while and said, "Lord Yu, you immediately dispatch a group of veterans from scouts, first, to identify these guards and see how many of them are willing to return to their hometowns." In addition, the interrogation of all officials of good rank should be carried out immediately. Don't be afraid of torture, use all the means you need to use. If anyone pursues it, the king will bear it on you. β
"Tomorrow morning, this king will rush to Zhengzhou first. You don't have to worry, after you and Su Changshi deal with these rebels, you can rush to Zhengzhou with the brigade. Those rebels must not be dismissed on the spot, except for the reinforcement of the tiger prison, the rest are all escorted back to Zhengzhou and disposed of. The officials among the rebels should not be escorted to Jingzhao, but all of them should be escorted to Zhengzhou. β
"In addition, this king will borrow someone from Lord Yu. Zhao doesn't matter, this king has decided to let him continue to temporarily replace the Tiger Prison Pass. At the same time, this king drafted a fold and strived to give it to the truth. Although it is a bit unusual to be promoted from the commander to the commander, presumably with his performance in the past few days, there should not be too much objection from his father's side. At this point, adults should be prepared. β
In addition, this king decided to be the new envoy of Zhengzhou soldiers and horses, and he was also transferred from the Xiaocai battalion. This king hopes that adults can recommend talents to this king. What this king wants is not the kind of old and stupid person, but someone who has real talent and is enough to complete the responsibility of reorganizing the Zhengzhou Guard. The king hopes that Lord Yu will start from the overall situation of the court and recommend materials for the court with an impartial heart. β
