Li Dongyang and the three of them stepped into the warm pavilion slowly.

Emperor Hongzhi was looking at the notes presented by Jiujiang Mansion in the old years, this group of lake thieves has been entrenched for a long time, and every year when the harvest is over, this group of hateful lake thieves will come ashore to plunder.

"All the princes have heard about the lake thieves, and if this trouble is not eliminated, I will not be at peace in my heart." Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth and said.

Liu Jian, like Yan Chengjin, had a lot of thoughts: "Your Majesty, calm down first, the officers and soldiers of Jiujiang Mansion have entered the lake to suppress bandits several times, but they have returned in vain, and they have also damaged soldiers and ships, so it can be seen that this bandit is not something that ordinary officers and soldiers can deal with." ”

Li Dongyang thought for a while and said: "When I entered the palace just now, the minister met Yan Chengjin's guy, but the minister felt that his words made some sense. ”

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyelids: "Li Qing's family will talk about it." ”

"Jiujiang Mansion has a special location, facing rivers and lakes, it is easy to be attacked by the enemy, now there are only sub-patrol roads and sub-guard roads, the public security force is already weak, and the stronghold is located in Raozhou, it is really not enough, the thieves have repeatedly been exterminated when they go ashore, but the troops are insufficient, if the army is set up to prepare the road, strengthen the troops, and wait for the thieves to go ashore, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will not be able to escape."

With the addition of officers and soldiers, Emperor Hongzhi's first thought was to spend money.

At present, the imperial court is saving everywhere, and the military salary is tight, if some more official positions are added, they must be maintained all the time, and the extravagant expenses come from the taxes of the people.

After all, I am reluctant.

Yan Chengjin heard from the civil officials of Hanyuan in the next dynasty that Emperor Hongzhi was worried about the extravagant cost of adding troops to the road, so he knew that it was in vain.

After more than ten days, news of looting came from Jiujiang Mansion again, this time it was not a lake thief, it was a river thief!

The river thieves saw that their fellow brothers had made a fortune, and the court did not make a sound, so they went ashore one after another to show their powers.

did a big vote, cut off the warehouse grain reserved by the Kyushu government as a grain seed, beat people without slapping their faces, and deceived people without cheating money.

Cut the leeks and leave a root.

"This is the bottom line of being a thief at all!" Emperor Hongji was completely enraged.

Han Yuan, Yan Chengjin was copying the classics, and by the way, he practiced Li Dongyang's book, and a little eunuch came to pass it on, asking him to go to the warm pavilion immediately.

Entering the main hall, Li Dongyang and others lined up.

Emperor Hongzhi said first: "I heard Li Dongyang say, you have some thoughts about the thieves in Jiujiang Mansion, and then talk to me about it, how can this military preparation play a role?" ”

Yan Chengjin muttered: "The minister doesn't know the beginning or the end, and please ask Your Majesty to give the minister some tips?" ”

"The Kyushu Mansion has been looted again, this time it's a river thief!"

Kyushu Mansion is pitiful, it's everyone who came to rob it......

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and rehearsed the scene of the thieves going ashore.

In case the river thieves and thieves appear, how can they be swept away in one net?

"Why do you think about it for so long?" Emperor Hongzhi didn't have a good airway.

"Let's make a draft first."

“…………”

Yan Chengjin immediately said: "Does the court want to spend money? ”

Emperor Hongzhi gave him a blank look, of course I didn't want to spend it, "If you can't spend it, you won't spend it." ”

"The minister has a plan, and he doesn't spend money." Yan Chengjin knew it in his heart.

It is necessary to solve the problem of extravagance that Emperor Hongzhi is concerned about first, and then gradually and slowly unfold.

Emperor Hongzhi really came to be interested: "How not to spend?" Then you say, don't think about it anymore. ”

"The river thieves and the lake robbers looted not only the annual grain of the imperial court, but also the rations of the people, and the people of Jiujiang Mansion have long been eager to tear up the bandits.

If the imperial court issued an edict to set up a military station, the officers and soldiers who joined the military station road could be exempted from a certain amount of taxes, and the yellow register would remain unchanged and still be farmers.

If it is not changed to a military household, there is no need to worry about household registration, and many people will surely join.

For the time being, the minister will call these people temporary workers of the government!

The river thieves and lake thieves committed crimes, and they saw that when the government was transporting grain abroad, it was the time when the peasants were idle, which meant that as long as the imperial court organized the temporary workers of the government to kill the thieves at this time, and did not delay the farming, the rest of the time, they could still return to their hometowns to be farmers.

In this way, the imperial court only needs to send officers who know a little about the art of war, and they can solve the trouble of Poyang Lake without spending a penny. ”

Emperor Hongzhi blinked when he heard this, this method is a little wonderful.

How many people are there in Jiujiang Province and the surrounding provinces? The strong men add up to hundreds of thousands of people, and if they join forces, they will be a native army.

Thinking of this, his face suddenly showed joy: "Spread my will, let the clerical room draw up a will......"

Yan Chengjin was speechless, His Majesty was always so anxious, and said, "Your Majesty, wait, minister...... I just talked about the first link. ”

This is the first part?

Emperor Hongzhi looked over again.

Yan Chengjin continued: "I am afraid that there are more than one group of thieves entrenched in Poyang Lake, and you can send a few clever people to sneak into the river thieves and lake thieves to go undercover, and use countermeasures, provoke thieves to fight among them, and weaken the strength of a wave of thieves.

If you can't, take a step back, and you can still report to the government and seize the opportunity. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Xiao companion, pass on my will to the clerical room......"

Yan Chengjin looked at him with a blank eye: "Your Majesty, the minister just finished talking about the second ring...."

Emperor Hongzhi secretly thought, is there a more clever plan that can't be achieved?

Yan Chengjin decided to finish speaking in one breath, so as not to be beaten: "After the thieves shore, the ship should be burned and its retreat route should be cut off.

As for the good generals who supervised the training, the ministers recommended Wang Yue first. ”

From the suppression of troops, to Infernal Affairs, to the bottom of the kettle, and finally to the appointment of generals.

Well

Every step of the way has been taken into account.

Lao Wang was once again reused by the imperial court, which was of great benefit to himself.

Yan Chengjin said: "After a set of processes, I have a three-percent grasp, and the minister finished speaking." ”

Li Dongyang's old face was slightly red, so that he was sure, should I be a strategist or not?

Liu Jian and Xie Qian were even more ashamed of their self-esteem, they couldn't even run away from a fly, and they even said that they were thirty percent sure that there was no such insult.

Li Dongyang coughed dryly: "Your Majesty, why don't you do it like this?" ”

Emperor Hongji nodded.

An edict flowed out of the imperial court and was sent to Jiujiang Mansion as soon as possible.

At the same time, it was not only Jiujiang Mansion that set up military preparation roads, but also Yongzhou Mansion, Qiongzhou Mansion, Weizhou Mansion and other places where river bandits or lake thieves haunted.

……………………

Wang fu

Wang Yue was anxiously pacing back and forth in the hall, and His Majesty ordered him to go to Kyushu Mansion to exterminate the bandits.

At his age, when he sees that mountains are not mountains and water is not water, he will naturally have many thoughts in his heart.

His Majesty transferred him back to Jingshi, and almost scared him to death.

Now he is going to be transferred to Kyushu Mansion, and he still doesn't give the generals and goes alone?

This is debasement!

Did the old man give a gift recently, and to whom?

Wang Yue's head wanted to explode.

Thinking about it, he fell on the desk and cried: "In my lifetime, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back to Beijing." ”

Pack up your mood and come to Yan Mansion to find Yan Chengjin.

Wang Yue broke the jar and scolded: "I don't know which grandson, I joined the old man's book, let the old man go to Kyushu Mansion alone to suppress the bandits, and forced the old man to be anxious, don't even think about running!" In these years, who hasn't had a handle in their hands? ”

Yan Chengjin looked confused: "So what? ”

"The old man is sick."

The old Zhu family is too difficult to serve, can't I stop doing it?
