Chapter 948: The ambition of Cochin will be obtained
Mu Jing has never been worried about Jiangzhou's affairs, he is confident in the control of Yizhou, and now Yizhou's soldiers and horses are in his own hands, starting from his whole army, the establishment of the establishment of the seven armies and seven battalions, Yizhou's military power has been fully recovered.
So even if Liu Zhang can turn the sky, he can't turn the country of Yizhou.
Therefore, Mu Jing was not in a hurry to lead his troops back to Jiangzhou, and it was not easy to deal with the affairs of Nanzhong properly.
It took so much energy, so many soldiers and horses, so many battles to fight and die, and countless sacrifices to have today's situation, but this situation is not very stable.
In the final analysis, Mu Jingxing is not a righteous teacher, and he is not popular with the people.
The war disaster has affected hundreds of people, and there are countless people who secretly resent the Mu regime.
Not to mention the previous year, even after the Chinese New Year, in less than a month, the Shenwei army guarding Dianchi Lake was attacked no less than 20 times when they were patrolling the night, and each time there were casualties, and the loss was more than 50 children.
These casualties, but not battlefield casualties, were all spontaneous raids by the people.
And this situation is not here in Dianchi, there are countless cases of spontaneous attacks on the Mu army and the officials sent by the Mu clan.
This shows one thing, the pastoral army has not completely stabilized Nanzhong yet.
If you want to completely control the four counties in Nanzhong, it is even more far away.
The army can destroy a regime, but the people's hearts cannot be bullied, even if Mu Jing can be suppressed, the war still brings countless family casualties, and a layer of haze of hatred on the back of the Mu family.
Ordinary people don't really care which of you is in power, but once their families are ruined, they will naturally vent their resentment on the people who started the war.
The herdsman is the invader, and in the hearts of the people of the south, he is the butcher, the executioner, and the culprit who destroyed their family.
Therefore, it is very difficult to govern Nanzhong.
"The duty of the soldiers is on the battlefield, not to slaughter the people, to maintain local order, that is the duty of the six gates, and the six gates of the four counties in the south and central must be established as soon as possible to ensure order in each county!"
Mu Jing once again convened a meeting of the Nanzhong Governor's Office, this time to discuss the issue of order in Nanzhong.
"After this battle, whether it is Nanzhong, or our pastoral army, there are a lot of casualties, but the survivors are veterans who have experienced the battlefield, I am in Nanzhong, just established a Nanzhong army, and in addition to the 20,000 sons of the Nanzhong army, there are not many remaining soldiers!"
"This is the fast soldier of the six gates of each county and county!"
"The key is to choose the candidates for the six gates and each county to catch quickly!" Mu Jing said: "First of all, Yunnan County! ”
"I'll recommend one!"
The fifth Yue itself is a little suspicious, after all, he is the Taishou of Yunnan County, and he is in charge of the government affairs of Yunnan County, and he can no longer involve military power, but he is unwilling to have someone to check and balance himself, so he considered it again and again and decided to recommend, even if this person is not from his family, as long as he does not go against him, after all, he has ambitions, and if he wants to enter the high-level of Minghou Mansion, he must have some achievements in Yunnan County.
"Say!"
"Zhengang!"
"Zhengang?" Mu Jing squinted: "Yongchang County is Ang? ”
"That's the man!"
"Why?"
Mu Jing asked.
Zhengang this person, he has heard of it, born in a literati, he is good at leading soldiers, if it weren't for Yonghong dominating Yongchang County, he would not have been deposed, he was idle at home, and he was very young, the key is that he was born in a poor family, and he has nothing to do with any wealthy family.
If you want to say that it is suitable, it is a good candidate.
But Mu Jing wants to know more about the mind of the fifth Yue.
The fifth Yue gambled and surrendered to the Mu family, and now he is in the position of Yunnan Taishou, and he is still low-key, but he is relatively high-profile in doing things, and it is not difficult to see his ambition, but this kind of ambition Mu Jing is also happy to see.
Of course, he also has to make good use of it, and he can't fuel this momentum, let the fifth Yue float up, and the future will be difficult to manage.
"Zhengang is good at commanding troops, upright, and powerless, but he can lead the army to the battlefield, and his ability is undoubted!" The fifth Yue said: "And he is jealous and hateful, hates thieves, the duty of the six doors, arrests thieves, maintains local order, and uses this person to get twice the result with half the effort!" ”
"What do you think?"
Mu Jing pondered for a moment, then raised his head slightly, the light in his eyes swept by, looked at the faces, and asked.
"I think so!" Liu Jin said: "Zhengang this person, I have also heard of it, it is indeed capable, the key is to live alone, without too many fetters, it will be the law of "Mingke", and there will be no favoritism!" ”
"Good!"
Mu Jing considered it, and also thought that this candidate was suitable, and sent someone to Yongchang to summon Zhengang and recruit the officer.
As for whether Zhengang will be a leader, Mu Jing does not doubt it, after all, the children of the poor family study, if it is just to cultivate their temperament, no one wants to write, reading to become an official is a kind of pursuit, Zhengang is not seventy or eighty, young, deposed for a few years, and now has the opportunity to become an official, because he will not refuse.
Next, continue to discuss the position of the head of the six doors of the three counties of Yuewang, Qiqi, and Yongchang, and there is quite a dispute, and in the conference hall of the Nanzhong Governor's Mansion, there is a quarrel.
For several days in a row, such discussion meetings did not completely decide on the chief catchers of the four counties.
Later, Mu Jing was a little irritable, and directly ordered generals from the army, so that the positions of the four chief catchers in Yunnan, Qiqi, Yuewang, Yongchang, and the four counties were given.
……………………
The time is gradually entering February, and the breath of spring is obvious, the temperature is rising, and everything is recovering.
Mu Jing was in Nanzhong, and he couldn't sit still for too long.
There was one more thing he needed to arrange.
"Righteousness, sit down, don't be restrained!" Mu Jing made tea and personally poured a cup for Zhang Ren.
"Yes!"
Zhang Ren knelt in front of the desk and took a sip of tea, but he didn't feel anything, compared to the sweet and mellow taste of tea, he still liked the taste of spirits, but in front of Mu Jing, he still pretended to be a literati and concentrate on tasting tea.
"I have decided to lead the army back to Jiangzhou in late February!" Mu Jing got straight to the point: "The situation in the world is unpredictable, I can't sit in Nanzhong for too long, but Nanzhong is unstable, so I plan to leave the Dongzhou Army behind for the time being and guard Nanzhong!" ”
"The last general commands!"
Zhang Ren heard the news a long time ago, and when he said it from Mu Jing's mouth, it made him a little more down-to-earth, and he didn't worry about this, worried about that.
"In the next period of time, maybe a year, maybe several years, the Dongzhou Army may have to guard Nanzhong and defend the peace of my southern Yizhou!" Mu Jing said softly: "Don't look at the fact that now that we have conquered Nanzhong, there will be no enemies, and there are still enemies in the southern frontier that make us jealous!" ”
"Is the lord talking about the tribes of the Dove Department and the Min Yue Department?"
In the southern Xinjiang of Yongchang, some places outside the territory of the Han Dynasty, there are some tribes that survive, before the first battle of Chai Yu, the dove department came up, but at that time, Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong wanted to clean up the barbarian army as soon as possible, and did not want to do much, so they did not snipe them for the time being.
"These are enemies, no doubt about them!" Mu Jing said: "Their danger is even worse than that of the barbarians, they have the opportunity to fight to the death, but they must be on the basis of the peace in Nanzhong, the chaos in Nanzhong has just subsided, and they are not allowed to encounter war for the time being, otherwise try not to provoke them!" ”
"The Admiral understands!" Zhang Ren nodded.
"Of course, once the war in the Central Plains is tight, it is also possible to mobilize the Dongzhou Army to the north, so the Dongzhou Army should maintain its peak combat effectiveness as much as possible, and it must not be relaxed, and the place where the fighting spirit of the soldiers is maintained will always be the battlefield, if you feel that the Dongzhou Army is somewhat pampered, I allow you to fight outside!"
"Yes!"
"And!" Mu Jing spread out a map on the desk and said, "Do you know where Jing Pingshui has gone?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Ren nodded: "Since last year, they have been heading towards Jiaozhou, and the best news last month was that they had entered the territory of Jiaozhi, and they had two battles with the soldiers of Jiaozhi County. ”
"I asked Jingping Sailor to go to Jiaozhou, the purpose is to open up Jiaozhi County, as for the rest of Jiaozhou, you can leave it alone for the time being, I want Jiaozhi County has only one purpose, to take the coast!" Mu Jingdao: "Once my division returns to Jiangzhou, I should lead a Jingping Water Division to return, and at that time, Ganning's troops will definitely be insufficient, which will require the support of the Dongzhou Army!" ”
However, the Yangtze River waterway has always been the battlefield of the water division, so when the water division opens up Jiaozhi, it must also withdraw part of its troops and rebuild the offensive trend of the Yangtze River waterway.
"What if Jiaozhou Shixie directly declares war on us?" Zhang Ren asked.
"Then fight!"
Mu Jing said categorically, and said: "I don't care about Jiaozhou, but I am determined to win Jiaozhi, and I will take it down at all costs for this Haikou directly opposite, understand!" ”
"The Admiral understands!"
Zhang Ren felt Mu Jing's resoluteness.
"There is no need to be so serious, I have already asked the Yi nationality of Honglu Division to go south and negotiate with Shixie, if he can successfully hand over Jiaozhi, he will naturally be safe, even if he pays a bigger price, I can take over!"
Mu Jing said with a smile: "Generally speaking, the Dongzhou Army is mainly careful of the enemy in southern Xinjiang, the barbarian army is still unstable, if someone wants to fish in troubled waters and cause a rebellion in Nanzhong, it will be troublesome, and I can't take care of it at all, so I can only let the Dongzhou Army independently quell the rebellion!" ”
"The last general will never allow this to happen!"
Zhang Ren arched his hand and said.
"Do your best!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and said again: "In addition, there are some old ministers of Liu Yan, you may not be able to keep them!" ”
"The last general has nothing to ask for, but I ask the lord to spare Liu Zhang's life, and the last general is willing to be a cow and a horse for the lord!"
Zhang Ren knelt down and kowtowed and pleaded.
"You are so loyal to Liu Yanzhi, although I am angry, I am still very pleased, Liu Yan can be regarded as not wrong about you, and it can be regarded as a drag in your hands!" Mu Jing said softly: "Over the years, he has gone against the state governor's mansion and has shown his loyalty, what I can do is that under the unforgivable wrath of the public, no matter what the circumstances, I will not kill him!" ”
"Thank you, my lord!"
Zhang Ren naturally knew the weight of Mu Jing's words, he was relieved, he did everything he could, and next, he could only depend on fate.
