It's hard to say, it's easy to say. Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Do everything with public intentions, fugitive officials, gentry, to find cooperation with a clear name, those nonsense, the more you rely on it, the more you can't believe it." Talk to the people more and understand the local situation, and then I have my own district, and you don't have to do too much. ”

Qin Dongyang and the others were all enlightened...... This time, the king sent generals to clean up the local situation, and I am afraid that it will also be a norm in the future.

In fact, there is a whole echelon of officials prepared by the Eastern Domain, from the incumbent officials to the reserved talents, and then to the school, the entire official is completely prepared.

However, the current situation is rather awkward, one is that the war is progressing too fast and too fast, and it will take at least ten days and half a month to select the personnel and place them in the locality.

During this period, if the power of local restoration was handed over to the pacification envoy, the battle of Jianzhou would be in vain.

Local power, logically speaking, is owned by the prefect, and then it is under the control of the counties.

However, if you put the Tongzhi, Wei, Cheng, the main book, a large number of Confucian officials, the opening and demolition officials, the hook officials, the money and grain officials, the charge officials, the county-level officials, the records, the hand points, the post and other officials in front of the ya, and then there are the lowest officials in the places such as Lizheng, the head of the household, and the elderly, and hold these local positions in hand, after the prefect, the county, and the general judge sent by the imperial court arrive, they can only be hollowed out, either cooperate or be driven away, there is no other possibility.

For the military prefectures such as Fu, Quan, and Zhang, they had to act slowly, gradually exert influence, and infiltrate with the governance method of the Eastern Domain.

As for a place like Jianzhou, it was turned into a white land, two of the prefects committed suicide in several counties, the prefect Wang Yue was killed, and a few ran away, and the rest of the officials fled and scattered in front of the ya, such a place, of course, there is no need to be polite, in the name of appeasing the place and suppressing the thieves, first military management, and then send the officials of the Eastern Domain to take over, so that if you get it directly, you don't have to take it over with water grinding kung fu.

As for the local gentry, the elderly, and the clans, they have been swept over by the thieves and sorted out, which has saved a lot of effort.

This time, if Qin Dongyang and Liu Yi and others have a clear understanding in their hearts, and then look at Fang Shaoqun and others, they are even more sure in their hearts, that Li Kaiming, of course, is undoubtedly let go, with this person outside, Zhongshan Wangfu can easily encroach all the way through the power of opening the government given by the imperial court, and the county governance of Junzhou is in his hands one by one, and it is quickly digested, it is simply beautiful.

This topic is well known to everyone, but they will not say it openly, and the generals have bowed down one after another.

Xu Zixian said a few more words, and only said, "I asked you to do these things, not to ask the military to interfere in politics and interfere with local administration, but to let you understand more about the difficulties of people's livelihood from pure martial arts, and the soldiers should also assist in civil affairs, so that we can know the truth that the military and the people are mutually beneficial, and both civil and military affairs!" Military management is only temporary, and when officials are dispatched, soldiers are still not allowed to interfere in administration. ”

Xu Zixian's words did not fully explain the facts.

Officers are a necessary means of advancement, they can make decisions and sweep away the localities, and after that, they must ask their henchmen to sum up some experience in military management, and then continue to promote it.

The general carried out the early military management, and he could also look at government affairs and civil affairs, and he was no longer a pure martial artist who only knew how to put horses and fight. Xu Zixian knew that the generals under his command could not be too knowledgeable and attentive to political affairs, but they could not be completely ignorant of civil affairs, after all, after all, the army would go first, and they would always have to make some preparations.

……

After the Zhongshan Mansion army set out for the expedition, the officials of Fuzhou Prefecture were all in suspense.

This fear would have been ludicrous until the Forbidden Army was defeated, as it was a well-known fact that the thieves were unfortunate when they first gathered. The forbidden army and the Xiang army combined more than 80,000 people, and there was still a prince in charge, but the end was a fiasco, and even Fuzhou Mansion was almost besieged all the way to the capital, if it were not for the Zhongshan Mansion army to arrive in time, now the city is afraid that it is already under siege.

More than 100,000 thieves took advantage of the aftermath of the new victory, surrounded the city, cut off the road, and whether the city could be defended, everyone was also relatively pessimistic.

After the appearance of the King of Zhongshan, he was in the city

A few days later, news came from the people in front that the government army had initially defeated the main force of the thieves, and the army continued to pursue the remnants of the thieves.

Of course, this kind of news is exciting for the officials of Fuzhou and the military and civilian people of the entire prefecture and city, and the news in the market is also very good, and the officials and gentry and businessmen who originally planned to flee have also stopped for the time being, although they are still preparing, but they have slowed down the process of packing their luggage, and are just waiting for further news to come.

A few days later, officials from Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and other places have pieced together some Xiang soldiers and civilians to come, and more than 10,000 Xiang troops and people have been stationed in the city, and the people in the city are more at ease, but there is no news of the establishment of the state, and the officials and people in the city are very anxious.

In fact, Fuzhou to Jianyang is only more than 200 miles, although there are many mountain roads, but half of the distance is flat, along the river along the official road, sent out a light horse can reach Jianyang in one day.

However, the palace army of the Zhongshan Prefecture Army has blocked all the official roads, and it is said that the king ordered to block all the roads, search for the fleeing thieves and the defeated thieves, as for the people and the fleet, they extended along the official road and the Minjiang River, and stopped in the area of Jianyang.

The food and grass of the Zhongshan government army are extremely sufficient, and they do not need the continuous supply of Fuzhou, the officials and gentry in the city are very active this time, it may be that the thieves rode around the city to frighten everyone, this time the government and gentry were extremely enthusiastic, and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars and a large amount of food in a few days, but the road was blocked, and the money and grain could not be transported, but the remaining personnel of the Zhongshan government army were not polite, and they all smiled at the money and grain.

This expedition, the main force of the government army came out, the mobilization time before and after was extremely long, and the materials and military expenses prepared definitely exceeded one million, it is not realistic to expect the imperial court to make up for these money and grain, and it is not realistic to be able to withstand the post-war apportionment, and it is impossible to want the imperial court to exempt the money and grain and supplement the war expenses of the government army.

Donating money and grain, all laughing at it is Kong He's proposition, Li Yi and Fu Qian and others returned to the Eastern Domain, Kong He was ordered to preside over the overall situation in Qizhou, these government affairs money and grain were originally Kong He's head and tail, and he was the most appropriate to preside.

These things are Lin Douyao, Yang Shiwei and others handed over to Kong He, and the two sides have also met many times, Lin Douyao and others are anxious in their hearts, and they can't help but knock on the side, but Kong He just cares about him, and never entrusts the details.

Kong He, as a former official of the Ya, is just a junior official of Shengdou, but now he is dealing with the marshal ministers and the capital of Fujian Road, but Lin Douyao and others have to flatter him, which also makes many people with a heart look at it and feel full of emotion in their hearts.

After such a stalemate of seven or eight days, more than ten days have passed since the time when the troops were dispatched before.

Yang Shiwei and others gave good care to the people suffering outside the city, repaired some damaged houses, and gradually there were small traders and peasants coming and going on the official roads outside the city, and the traffic inside and outside the city was endless, but the time to open the city in the morning was delayed, and the time to close the city in the evening was early, and Fuzhou still did not completely restore peace.

At this time, the communication between Quanzhou and Zhangzhou and other places is also considered to have returned to normal, at the beginning of December, Fucheng received a roll order directly issued by the two governments, but it was said that the former Taifu, the right servant shot, the scholar of the Guanwen Palace, the servant, the opening of the palace and the three divisions of Xu Xiashang resigned successfully, and the imperial court ordered the Ministry of Rites and other officials to return to their hometowns with the old Xiangguo, and the old Xiangguo was also the palace envoy, Feng Zeng Guogong, holding the edict as the envoy, after the decree, he returned to his hometown in Fuzhou to retire.

The prime minister of Zhengyipin went to his post, sealed the country, and gave the palace envoy a generous salary, which is the case of this dynasty, and the prime minister who resigned was the envoy of the emperor, which was also the first time in this dynasty.

After receiving the rollover order, Lin Douyao first closed his eyes, and then instructed the humanitarians, "Send someone to send the news to the port of Qizhou and tell Nakong He to know." ”

"This person is really rude." The staff on the side said to Lin Douyao, "Why help him be proud? ”

"You're thinking bad." Lin Douyao said expressionlessly, "I was also resentful before, but then I thought about it, how dare Kong He neglect such a big thing?" Of course, the king of Zhongshan had already commanded. ”

"What do you mean?" The staff muttered, "Actually, Jianzhou has already been decided, but His Royal Highness the King of Zhongshan is here."

Wait for the deployment news of the imperial court, and then the establishment of the state will be determined? ”

"That's right!" Lin Douyao smiled bitterly and said, "The imperial court finally sent the old Xiangguo over, and it is also because the identity of the old Xiangguo is here, it is not appropriate to rush too much, if the ordinary edict is changed, it should have arrived a few days ago." The southeast is turbulent, and the situation in the DPRK is uneasy! Now only the old minister is the country, and there is no edict to arrest me, which shows that the court also knows it. In this case, it's better to do it better, and if you want to come to Lord Zuo, you also understand the truth. ”

Lin Douyao's words were quite clear.

Kong He was not arrogant or ignored Fuzhou's tentative inquiries, but the high-level officials of the Zhongshan Mansion intended to do so.

The edict of the imperial court will not arrive for a day, and the overall situation of the establishment of the state is unclear. If the imperial court does not grant the opening of the government, Li Kaiming will not die, the thieves will not be destroyed, the state will not be peaceful for a day, and the turmoil in the southeast will not be resolved for a day. And what kind of situation Li Kaiming can make and how much trauma it causes depends on how sincere the imperial court is.

The staff sneered and said, "King Zhao is nothing more than a plot to open a mansion, and he made such a fuss, I thought that King Zhongshan was concerned about the overall situation of Fujian and sympathetic to the local military and people, but now it seems that it is a raccoon dog?" ”

"It's not the same." Lin Douyao is in a good mood now, judging from all kinds of signs, although there is no news from Jianzhou, in fact, the thieves have been pacified, and the trouble in Jiangxi or Liangzhejiang Road is underneath, and it has nothing to do with his Fujian Road pacification envoy. The previous culpability was not small, but the chaos was quickly quelled, and after the opening of the Zhongshan Palace, in order to prevent unexpected turmoil on Fujian Road, he would definitely try his best to maintain the current power structure.

That is to say, Lin Douyao's loose officials, honors, and ranks may be deposed by a few levels, and they will also be fined and reprimanded, but it is very likely that they will remain above the official position of the Fujian Road pacification envoy.

With an official position, it is only a matter of time before everything recovers, and from being a prisoner to retaining his current position, it is already a surprise for Lin Douyao.

After a pause, this placating envoy who once wanted to do something and spy on the high position of the privy deputy said in a deep voice, "King Zhao and King Zhongshan are going to open a mansion, but the difference is that one has the ability, and the other is just a waste!" ”

……

Xu Xiashang landed at the mouth of the Minjiang River, and after going ashore, Lin Douyao and other Fuzhou officials had all rushed to the port to greet him.

Not to mention the current state princes and palace envoys of the right minister, as well as the official position of Taifu, just the identity of a famous Confucian in the sea for forty years is enough to make Lin Douyao and others respectful.

The respect of the Son of Heaven and the left relative to the old Xiangguo is also largely because of the four dynasties of the old Xiangguo, and the reason why the disciples are all over the world, can be said to be a hundred responses, the Xiangguo of this dynasty, the Confucian, both, and the world's attention, there is only the old Xiangguo.

For Xu Xiashang himself, his eyes are full of hometown scenery and his ears are full of Fujian native sounds, but the scenery and architecture in front of him have changed a lot compared to when he went north when he was a teenager.

Especially the people in front of me, most of them are young and strong juniors, the same age, and there are friendships, there are only a few more than ten people in front of them, and they are all trembling and trembling, and their hair and eyebrows are snow-white old men over seventy.

It's just that in front of everyone, Xu Xiashang won't show too much true mood, he has changed into a civilian robe, wearing only a black hat, wearing a blue straight embellished, holding a rattan cane, and looking kind.

It's just that many nobles, including the gentry who rushed over from Quanzhou, Zhangzhou, and Xinghua Army, all looked at this old minister with admiration and awe.

When Lin Douyao and others stepped forward to pay their respects, several local officials in Fuzhou actually stepped forward and said to Xu Xiashang, "Prime minister, this time you have returned to Fuzhou, and we are all determined." ”

"It's nonsense." Xu Xiashang shook his head and said, "The old man is old, he doesn't want to ask about the local military and political affairs, and he doesn't want to hear about it, so he wants to see the mountains and rivers of his hometown, listen to the sounds of the hometown, and eat hometown meals for a few years, and the rest are ignored, and he doesn't want to talk about academic matters, let alone those military affairs?" The imperial court has granted the king of Zhongshan to open the mansion, and since then, all the affairs of Fujian Road have been decided by the king. ”
