Chapter 335 Guangzhou Preliminary Determination

After listening to Xia Bomin's report, Lin Xiao was not too excited.

Although Guangzhou was initially decided, because Xia Bomin was eager to save people, he hurriedly launched a strong attack before the main force arrived, so after the Qing army camp was defeated, many routs fled in all directions, resulting in a lot of people who missed the net.

This situation has brought a certain amount of trouble to the follow-up troops' clean-up operations, and it will certainly leave hidden dangers for urban and rural public order in the future.

But Xia Bomin didn't think so, compared to the captain's safety, how big is it?

In the follow-up troops, Wang Xing's subordinates have people, and the captives can be searched and caught slowly, which can also increase the sense of accomplishment of Wang Xing, who has not caught up with the meat.

"That's all it can be." Lin Xiao nodded and didn't say anything more.

"This palace is magnificent, full of gold, even the back garden is so big...... Tsk, it can be seen that this traitor has looted a lot. ”

Xia Bomin saw that the captain's face was a little pale, and he said without words.

"Yes, Captain, this place is big enough and good, let's set up the headquarters here, and you should have a decent mansion,"

Duan Zhenghong also happily agreed, "Everything is ready-made, just change the name, and change the name to the General's Mansion......"

"Come on,"

Lin Xiao interrupted him with a shake of his hand, "This place is too luxurious, I don't have any staff officers, there are only a few people in the headquarters, I think the granary in the north of the city is very good." ”

"Forehead ......"

Xia Bomin muttered, "It's a pity that such a good house." ”

"Nothing to be sorry for, of course this house is useful,"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "In the future, Guangdong will be our rear, I want to ...... It's good to be a governor's palace here. ”

"The Doge's Palace?"

Duan Zhenghong was a little puzzled, did the captain want to be the governor?

"Don't think about it,"

Lin Xiao raised his hand and nodded at him and said with a smile, "I have agreed with Elder Qu Ge, he has already played the imperial court, and ordered Lianchengbi to be the governor of Liangguang, he will recruit people on Enping's side, and he will soon bring people to Guangzhou to receive them, just these few days." ”

"Won't it?"

Duan Zhenghong frowned when he heard this, and said disapprerovingly, "We just beat it down, and we will hand it over to them?" ”

"No way, the spring ploughing season is almost over, time waits for no one, how to mobilize the people and resume production as soon as possible, he is more experienced than us......"

Lin Xiao sighed, "Local governance and siege are two different things, and someone has to do these trivial things...... We are field troops and will not stay in Guangzhou for long. ”

"But are you really relieved?"

Obviously, Xia Bomin doesn't agree with it either, their brothers are not here to work for the old Zhu family, this is the consensus.

"What if you're not at ease?"

Lin Xiao looked at him and said in a deep voice, "I know in my heart, I will talk to him again, and find out our governance methods and even long-term goals with him......

Lin Xiao felt that it was normal for them to be worried, and to be honest, he was unwilling to hand over Guangdong to that rat-eyed little court.

However, they still have to recover Taiwan, and there are still countless big battles waiting in front of them, at least before the next battle, he has nothing to worry about handing over the rear to Lian Chengbi.

After all, he is the one with a lot of administrative experience.

Lin Xiao knows very well that the current Lianchengbi is no longer the pedantic and loyal Ming official of the past, and besides, in the selection of officials at all levels, there is also Qu Shiyun supervising, and there is no big mess in this regard.

Of course, Lin Xiao's move also happened to investigate Lian Chengbi, if he was indeed a great talent, he should not be buried.

After the recovery of the whole country and the great cause of the family, such talents will need a lot.

As for the future, if he is forced to finally break with the small court, Lin Xiao believes that it is these powerful factions such as Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong who really need to seriously consider how to deal with it, not those officials who work for themselves in their own territory.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao sighed and explained: "It is not an easy task to manage the rear, and there are many trivial matters...... Not to mention anything else, just now, Guangzhou is full of hungry people, and they have to provide disaster relief and organize spring ploughing, these things are very troublesome, and there is not enough food and silver, which is really tricky......"

"yes,"

Xia Bomin nodded thoughtfully and sighed, "Indeed, this kind of thing requires people who work on the ground...... If I go, I won't be able to do it. ”

"Don't worry, I won't delegate military power......"

Lin Xiao knew that the two of them were still not at ease, and said with a smile, "If this person is unreliable and there is a garrison, it will be easy to turn the tables." ”

Xia Bomin frowned and said, "Do you want to keep some troops?" ”

"This is natural, you have to take a look first......"

Lin Xiao said thoughtfully, "I feel that Lian Chengbi is okay...... Even if it doesn't work, after the recovery of Taiwan, it's not too late for us to turn back, and we have to eat one bite at a time......"

"Then leave my people,"

Xia Bomin's eyes froze and said, "Anyway, I have more manpower than the headquarters......

As soon as Xia Bomin heard that he wanted to keep people, he immediately reacted, and felt that the captain would definitely beat his idea, so he might as well take the initiative and take the opportunity to obtain the captain's consent to recruit troops and expand the army again.

"Come on, you kid, just say anything."

Lin Xiao knew that Xia Bomin was so attentive, it was definitely not just for performance.

"Captain, I'...... Can I recruit more troops? ”

"No,"

Lin Xiao rolled his eyes, "You kid, there are tens of thousands of people, isn't it enough?" The formal equipment can't keep up for the time being, what's the use of having more people? ”

"Uh......"

Probably pierced by Lin Xiao, Xia Bomin was a little embarrassed.

"This time, I will only recruit a little bit for the troops directly under me, and you will be responsible for digesting Wang Xing's men...... In the next battle, he will be your subordinate unit, you take him first, help him put things in order, and remove those who have done evil, and those who are puppet soldiers will be removed, and those who are unknown will also be removed. ”

"Uh, okay." Xia Bomin nodded, indicating that he understood what Lin Xiao meant.

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiao said in a deep voice: "Guangdong is not as good as Guangxi, the war has been fought several times in succession, the population attrition is too great, and the young and strong people are especially in short supply, so I plan... This time, only 2,000 people were recruited, all for Duan Zhenghong. ”

Duan Zhenghong's brows jumped a few times, as if he didn't understand what Lin Xiao meant.

Lin Xiao turned his head with a smile and said to Duan Zhenghong: "A few of them, they will soon be promoted to division commanders, but you are still a battalion commander...... How is it, is it a little aggrieved, do you have any ideas? ”

"No, Captain, I understand."

"Do you really understand?"

Duan Zhenghong smiled reluctantly and didn't say anything.

"It's right to have ideas, it's not normal to have no ideas,"

Lin Xiao let out a long breath and said, "I have long said that soldiers are also human beings, and there is nothing wrong with fighting for their own interests after fulfilling their duties and obligations...... If you don't even care about your own interests, what qualifications do you have to defend your national interests? ”

"Yes......"

"You can't be the division commander for the time being, just stay in the direct subordinate unit with peace of mind, I won't let you out,"

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "However, being a small battalion commander has really wronged you, how about I appoint you as the commander of the special task force directly under me?" ”

"What regiment?"

Duan Zhenghong frowned.

Thanks: "Broccoli" for the tip! Thank you!
