The new county officials appointed by Heifu are not only Xiao He.

"Yuzhang County Guard is still Yin Tong, except for Lixian as Yuzhang Lieutenant."

"Except for Xiao Tao as the captain of Changsha, Changsha Shou is willing to join the Chengnan Division, but he is still in his original position."

On the Lingnan side, Heifu also made a few patches:

"Wu Rui served as the guard of Fujian, and led the Yue soldiers in Minyue, Dongou and Dongye. Gong Ao defended the South China Sea, and the general Zhao Tuo was still the guard of Guilin, so that he took the Guilin soldiers north to the city of Rongcheng and surrendered Dongting County! ”

Although there is no legal procedure, but in a hurry, in the early years of the Republic of China, there is nothing wrong with the appointment of high-ranking officials by the warlord marshal.

On the fifth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the liberation of Gangneung, seeing that the wounded and prisoners had settled down and the order on the streets had been restored as before the war, in the small courtyard where Heifu lived, Heifu gathered his subordinates to discuss the next step of the march.

In addition to Heifu, Han Xin, Gongwei, Li Cang, Wu Chen, Man and others were crowded inside, and Lu Jia, who had just arrived in Jiangling, was in charge of recording.

Don't be afraid that the courtyard is small, before the establishment of the republic, the fate-determining meetings of our party, such as Wayao Fort, were not finalized in small rooms?

Han Xin thought about it for a long time, and immediately suggested: "The prince has obtained Jiangling, next, he should attack the counties of Nanjun, and even the entire Jingzhou!" Jingzhou north according to the Han Dynasty, the South China Sea, the east of Wuhui, the west of Tongba, Shu, this place of use, must first take it as a foothold! ”

"Yu Gong" said: Jing and Hengyang are only Jingzhou. During the Warring States Period, the territory of Jingzhou stretched from Jingshan (Nanzhang County, Hubei) to Hengshan (Hengyang City, Hunan) in the south, which was roughly the western territory of Chu State. However, now the southern border has expanded slightly, and it has reached Wuling, which is roughly equivalent to the five counties of Nanjun, Hengshan, Changsha, Dongting and Yuzhang. Because of Heifu, Yuzhang County is mostly a Western Chu immigrant, and in this plane, it is often counted as part of Jingzhou.

Han Xin's proposal was approved by everyone, and Li Cang seconded: "Most of the people of the Southern Expeditionary Army will be levied in the five counties of Jingzhou, even if you don't consider it in the future, take all the counties and counties, and the heart of the soldiers is the most important thing at the moment." ”

Heifu bowed his head: "Fu Jiangling, Jingzhou is also, there is the shelter of Dangyang in the north, the defense of Yiling in the west, the aid of Anlu in the east, and the back court of Xiaoling in the south. ”

He asked Lu Jia to spread out the map of Nanjun on the desk, as the former Nanjun soldier Cao Zuoshi, the geographical road of Nanjun, Heifu is familiar with it, and he doesn't need to look closer, but only points to it from a distance:

Jingling, Anlu and other places (Qianjiang, Xiaogan, Hubei), the three passes of the north control, Wuchang in the south, the left armpit of Juyan and Ying, the upper reaches of Yi and Hubei, the circulation of water and land, and the mountains and rivers are surrounded by mountains. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu people used this to aspire to the Central Plains, and it was our homeland, which must be restored...... Profit! ”

"No!"

Heifu gave him a newly made tiger talisman: "Ren Ru is a fake captain, bring Xin Yi and 10,000 young sons of An Lu, support Ji Ying to the east, let Xin Yi gallop through the counties, recruit and take Jingling, Yundu, and Xinshi Qin officials, and at the same time recover Anlu!" Destroy the remnants of Feng Wuxuan's army! ”

Li Cang took the order and left, and Heifu's eyes looked at the lieutenant again.

"Dangyang County (Jingmen City, Hubei) lives between the Jiang River and the Han Dynasty, defends Jiangling in the south, aids Xiangyang in the north, protects Suixian in the east, controls Jingshan in the west, and chokes the throat of Xia Road, which is the road of four sets. When the yang is solid, then Jiangling has something to fear. Your mother's house is in Dangyang, and let you be the Sima of the other department, and lead 5,000 people to seize this county, and then Tuyan County in the north! ”

The name of Dangyang Changbanpo, Heifu's later generations have also heard, this place is the northern gateway of Gangneung, and it is also the last dangerous pass, which must be guarded, otherwise the army of the imperial court can drive straight into Gangneung and threaten Gangneung.

Thinking that he could go back to his hometown, Gongwei left in a hurry, and it was Wu Chen's turn next.

Heifu said: "I have been to Yiling (Yichang, Hubei), from the Badi calendar to the east of the Three Gorges, even the mountains are stacked, until here, the water flow is gradually flattened, the mountains are gradually slowed down, so Yiling is the west gateway of Jiangling, and it is the only place to come to Jiangling from Bashu. In the past, the Qin general Sima mistakenly took Yiling, Jiangling suffered from the enemy, and the king of Chu could only abandon it and flee eastward, so he knew that the loss was not a loss of a city, and the whole county was worried. ”

"You are also Sima of other departments, leading 3,000 divisions, and taking the Zhijiang River, you will definitely capture Yiling and block the possible arrival of the Bashu army!"

Wu Chen understood the matter very well, and arrived after the promise: "After seizing Yiling, the subordinates will immediately send a messenger to the west of Wu County to spread the news of the Jianghan Dynasty to Ba County!" ”

This is equivalent to warning Ba Shi: "Send back the wife and gentleman of my family quickly!" ”

Troops were sent from the east, north, and west, and finally it was the turn of the south.

"Full."

Heifu personally came to Man's side, and was flattered and hurriedly made a move.

"You and I are former colleagues, no need to be polite, but do you remember more than ten years ago, the Yidaoba people rebelled, you and I quelled the chaos together, guarded the Yidao lonely city, and Yaobing Xiaoling (Hubei Public Security)?"

"The subordinate naturally remembers." Heifu did not forget the old friendship and was very moved.

Heifu said: "Yidao, Gaocheng, Xiaoling and other places south of the Jingjiang River, surrounded by heavy mountains, lingering in Daze, although the household registration is scarce, but the north is connected to Jiangling, for the belt, it is the only way to enter Dongting County, the domain of the Han Dynasty of Shijiang, you are familiar with that side, and it is also Sima of other departments, take 2,000 people to take the waterway, and go to recruit the counties for me." ”

Man came out with the order, and before leaving, he glanced at Han Xin, who had "humiliated" him, with some unconvinced, and said secretly in his heart: "Look, the old is the old, it won't be long before I can become a captain and be on an equal footing with you!" ”

Han Xin, who was the first to propose "taking Jingzhou as his home first", saw that everyone had military orders and left, but he was not named, and the young man was full of energy, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, got up and arched his hand: "The prince ......

"Han Xin."

Heifu said: "But seeing that everyone has a mission, is it itchy? ”

"Since you left Wuling in the north, you first used the plan of sacking sand to break the enemy in Xingle Water and flood the three armies. and Xiao Tao besieged Linxiang and captured Li You. Then, on my orders, I crossed the river in white clothes, captured Jiangling, and went out of the city to help, and the southern expeditionary army was able to win this great victory, Han Xin, you can be called the first merit! But after three battles in two months, I was tired of thinking about it, and I had a break for a while. “

was praised by Heifu as the "first merit", Han Xin was naturally happy, but he still pleaded for his life: "Han Xin can still fight!" ”

Heifu shook his head: "You can fight, those soldiers who have walked thousands of miles from Lingnan and experienced several battles for more than a month, and have hardly stopped for a moment, can they still fight?" Even if you don't have compassion for yourself, you have to be considerate of the soldiers. ”

He patted Han Xin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Besides, the war is over, and the next step is just to capture a few small county towns. ”

"So that's ......," Han Xin seemed to understand.

Heifu said: "You should recuperate, continue to train soldiers, and guard Jiangling City for me." When the next Armageddon comes, Ben Hou will still count on you to perform another miracle! ”

At this point, Han Xin seemed right to think about it carefully, so he accepted it.

Heifu personally held Han Xin out of the hospital, lowered his voice, and whispered to Han Xin:

"In my eyes, you Han Xin are more than just a cattle slaughtering knife."

"It's a sword, a dragon slaying sword!"

……

Han Xin, who didn't get the errand, was overjoyed and left satisfied, but he didn't know that Heifu returned to the courtyard, but he secretly shook his head:

"If you don't press it again, let the people who have been left behind make more efforts to catch up, and I won't be able to use your knife soon."

For the rest of the past month, Heifu has been risking almost every battle, and he has to use it against Han Xin, if there is no such person, it is really difficult to say whether the battle in Changsha and Jiangling will be won or lost.

Seeing that the crisis had passed and there would be no major war in a short period of time, he took the opportunity to collect and collect this knife.

At this time, Lu Jia came over, and in addition to the minutes of today's meeting, he also presented an article written after staying up all night.

"So fast?"

Heifu was a little surprised, you know, Lu Jia only arrived in the middle of the night last night, although he told him the general content of the article he needed, but just thinking about those allusions, it would take a while.

Lu Jia said with a smile: "Coming to Jiangling, hearing the great victory of the prince and the marquis, and seeing the new appearance of Nanjun, I can't help but be happy, so the text and thoughts are like springs, this article, according to the draft prepared by the prince, will be supplemented, and it will be done in one go, please watch the ...... of the prince."

As he spoke, Lu Jia offered the thin paper with both hands.

The beginning of the article is not brilliant, it is nothing more than repeating the words of the past like a repeater, denouncing the traitorous ministers for rebelling against the son and killing the king and usurping the throne, causing the world to be ruined, and the people living in water and fire, emphasizing the justice of the Southern Expeditionary Army's "appeasement".

Then he explained the policy of Marquis Wu Zhonghou in Gangneung: including reducing rent and interest, and abolishing the strict laws criticized by some people, but maintaining the laws of "thief" and "thief" to ensure the security of Gangneung.

The last few paragraphs are the most important, not only to spread in Gangneung, but also to make the whole world known!

"Since ancient times, the ruling ministers of the state have not tasted the sages and gentlemen, and the Duke of Zhou has been caught three times, and he has been fed with one meal and three spit feeds, and he has been waiting for scholars, and he is afraid of losing the sages of the world. Now Jiangling was initially decided, Jingzhou was uneasy, and the difficulty of Jing was not completed, and it was also urgent to seek talents. ”

What is the most important thing in the chaos of the world?

Talent!

And it's just too little, not too much, and with the expansion of the control territory, Kuroo's shogunate is also to blame for the expansion.

In terms of employing people, Heifu can be said to be a wide open door, hoping that talented people from all walks of life can enthusiastically join him.

He agreed to let the officials of Jiangling who surrendered to Cheng occupy their original positions, such as his own old Manchu and Tang Jue, and entrusted them with important tasks, whether now or in the future, the Qin officials who are proficient in the law and household registration are the cornerstone of the new government.

In addition, Heifu also continued the policy in Jiaodong in the past, showing goodwill to the local powerful forces, and letting the three elders and the elders recommend the children of the good families in the clan to serve as guards and close officials.

This is not new, what is fresh is the third article, which gives those who have not come out in the Qin Dynasty system a new ladder of entry:

"The ancients said, Shun was born in the acres, Fu said that it was lifted between the plates, the rubber was lifted in the fish salt, Guan Yiwu was raised in the Shi, Uncle Sun Ao was raised in the sea, and the Baili Xi was held in the city. Therefore, it is known that it is not a wealthy family of independent government, and there are many talented people in the alleys. ”

"Ten steps of Ze, there will be herbs, and ten rooms of the city, there will be loyal men. Today, the five counties of Jingzhou, hundreds of thousands of households, humanities, regardless of cloth, son-in-law, businessmen, but there are civil and military talents, or can come up with long strategies, strange plans, and help Yu Jing difficult to achieve, and follow Mao Sui self-recommendation, where there are real talents, I will use it! ”
