Chapter 21 The division of forces in Changshan
Just when a few people were thinking silently, they saw Jia Xu enter the training ground, and trotted all the way after seeing Bai Yang and the others.
"Wenhe, pay attention to your body, how is the work progressing during this time?" Seeing Jia Xu coming over, Bai Yang asked gently.
"Lord, the overall progress is quite smooth, but now the cost is a bit large, and the 100,000 taels just approved a few days ago are now less than half." Jia Xu said with a distressed face, intelligence work is no better than others, and it is a waste of money in the early stage, but it must be invested, and the most important thing is that the results are slow.
"Don't worry, now we are not short of money, this kind of work should be invested in the early stage. The matter of Jinyiwei is the top priority, even if we stop all other things, we have to do it, otherwise we will not have a place to find it when we use it, and we will not be able to use fifty percent of our strength to scratch our eyes. The sooner you invest in this kind of thing, the better, and if there are any difficulties, let's figure out a way together. Bai Yang smiled.
"Except for money, there is nothing else to do for the time being, and the whole is in Xu's plan. But there is something I have to report to you, I am going to pass on the knowledge of simplified Chinese characters and simplified numbers that you have told me these days to the people of Jinyiwei, even if it is very beneficial to learn some numbers for their information transmission. ”
"Your proposal is very good, and I fully support you. During this time, you will first learn from me, and then you will teach it to the Jinyi Guards. If you are too busy, you can send some sergeants with strong learning ability to teach with you. You can do it boldly, just like this, you don't have to report to me in the future, you can decide for yourself. Is there anything else? ”
"My lord, there is nothing else to do for the time being."
"That's good. By the way, I haven't shown up for so long, but if something happened, did you dance particularly happily and tell me. ”
"In fact, this matter has been prepared for a long time, after all, the lord must start with these people, and the so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other will not be defeated in a hundred battles."
"Xu mainly started with the last handover of government affairs, and there are eyeliners in their homes and places of work, and now their daily situation is under the control of Jinyiwei."
"During the investigation, I slowly learned the general situation in Changshan County, you know that our Changshan territory is divided into nine counties, and these nine counties are governed by the three forces such as the lord Bo Li Lun, Changshi Wang Chengwei and Du Wei Sun Meng."
"These three forces belonged to Li Lun at the beginning, all because they offended too many people when Lao Taishou was in power, and after Lao Taishou abdicated, many people looked down on him as a person, and Li Lun fell out and switched to the other two parties, causing Wang Chengwei and Sun Meng's power to rise sharply."
"Now that these two people have controlled the eight counties in Changshan, it can be said that Li Lun no longer has the strength to resist Wang Chengwei, Sun Meng and others."
Li Lun also knows this situation, and he can only huddle in his mansion now to drink tea and write every day for fun. Until the arrival of the lord, he felt that there was a chance to make a comeback, so relatively speaking, he was the closest to my Taishou Mansion. ”
"However, during this time, he has not been summoned by the adults several times before and after, and he may not be sure what the lord thinks, so he will not move now. Li Lun's main force is in the county town, and the government affairs are basically his responsibility. ”
After Jia Xu finished speaking, he slowed down and said: "Wang Chengwei is cunning and cunning, and he occupies the land of five counties by himself, mainly controlling all kinds of taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Changshan. It can be said that all the financial power in Changshan was concentrated in his hands, and he arranged for a large number of children of his own family to enter the yamen. ”
"The Wang family was originally a small down-and-out family in Changshan, just because he was one person, the Wang family has now become a well-known family in Changshan, I heard that it has some relationship with Yizhou Mu Hanfu, the specific situation is unknown."
"In the end, it is Sun Meng's side, Sun Meng and his people were originally born in a line, brave in battle, and not afraid of death. It took more than 20 years of hard work to sit on the post of captain. I sit in the land of three counties, but because I command the army in Changshan and have a high position, even Wang Chengwei's old guy has to give him three points. ”
In the past few years, there has been no war to fight, so he slowly began to only know pleasure, and slowly the extravagant life corrupted him. Bullying men and women is his specialty, and in the past few years, he has robbed many chambers of commerce in the dark. But he is very generous to his own people, so the people under him are very supportive of him. ”
"However, some time ago, I heard that he had deducted the salaries of soldiers for a long time, and the monthly money of the soldiers was not paid in full, and he had a history of eating empty salaries."
"Because the military camp and other places belong to special areas, it is a little difficult for Jinyiwei to develop into the army for the time being, so it is not clear what the situation is."
"Now that the three parties see that the lord does not come forward, it belongs to the state of not asking, thinking that it is okay for them to think that this is okay, and everyone will be troubled by the toss, after all, if the lord takes action, it will definitely be bad for them. So they didn't do anything too out of the ordinary, they just sent some people to monitor around the Taishou Mansion. ”
"Well, to get so much information in less than three months, Wen He has done a good job in this regard, and he deserves praise. As for the military, we must find out what it is. Don't be afraid to spend money, get into it as soon as possible, figure out its truth and truth, you should supervise this, and you can't be sloppy. ”
Bai Yang looked at Jia Xu and praised a few words after speaking, and then said the key points in the future. On the whole, Jin Yiwei did not disappoint him, and such results are actually inseparable from Jia Xu's efforts, and it would be good to let others do half of these results.
"Yes, my lord. This is also what I think, and I am ready to cast a net for the various county-level administrative departments in Changshan County, and more comprehensively deploy and control Changshan through the placement of their own personnel or bribery by important departments. ”
"Yes, when we have money in the future, we can open some inns or restaurants in various counties or counties and even in Luoyang City, and sometimes the information sources in these places will be more comprehensive." Bai Yang added a few words.
"Yes, the lord thinks comprehensively, and he will not disappoint the lord." Jia Xu said with a serious face, the longer he has been in contact with Bai Yang, he feels that he is more omnipotent, he knows everything, and he secretly admires it in his heart.
"Zhou Cang, you and Pei Yuanshao will gather the team in a while, and announce a few things." After Bai Yang and Jia Xu finished speaking, they glanced at the two who were speechless and said to them.
"Yes, Captain, let's go." Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao said a word and walked towards a high platform in the middle of the training ground.
There is a bronze bell hanging on this high platform, which is an old bell that Bai Yang asked the elders to get later. In ordinary soldier training, gathering, resting, eating, sleeping, etc., these are all based on this bell, but the number of rings is different, and the meaning expressed is also different. Normally, there are soldiers on duty here every day, and when something is told to them, they will ring the corresponding number of bells according to the instructions.
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-" The bell rang three times, only the sound of assembly at the training ground was heard, and in less than two minutes, each squad had been brought by the squad leader to the high platform.
Bai Yang looked at it and walked over to look at everyone.
"Report to the captain, the first squadron of the Black Cloud Brigade has been assembled, there should be 184 people, but there are 184 people, the report is complete, please instruct" Zhou Cang trotted all the way to Baiyang ten meters away and said with a serious face.
"Report to the captain, the second squadron of the Black Cloud Brigade has been assembled, there should be 184 people, but there are 184 people, the report is complete, please instruct" Pei Yuanshao shouted higher than Zhou Cang as if he was competing, causing Zhou Cang to roll his eyes.
"Report to the captain, the Taishou Mansion Guards Department has been assembled, there should be 61 people, it is actually 61 people, the report is complete, please instruct" Zhu Yan watched the two of them finish reporting, and then also reported and waited for Bai Yang's instructions.
After Bai Yang signaled the three of them to return to the team, he hurriedly stepped onto the high platform, looking at the expectant eyes, Bai Yang felt that his hard work was not in vain.
"All of them, take a break. Brothers, you have been training very hard during this time, but the results are gratifying, and I am happy for everyone. But I don't think you can be complacent with the current results, the future battlefield will be cruel and bloody, in order to reduce the amount of bloodshed, I have decided: from tomorrow all of you will double the amount of training. I hope you will persevere and not become a deserter. ”
