Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Heart of the Army

The exchange between Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng did not last long. Some things just need to be tacitly understood.

Sure enough, as they expected, Luo Rucai appeased the two of them, but did not hesitate to reject the opinions of the two, abolished all the guards in Jiangnan, and sent several commanders and several times as many guards to prison for questioning.

The most welcoming people are not others, but Wang Long, Luo Dai and others, because they are stationed in the Jiangnan area. It is in his jurisdiction.

Such an order is simply a feast for these people. Dozens of large and small families, the wealth accumulated in the past three hundred years was instantly empty, and Zhang Xuan's policy focused on the land, so these people did not dare to be sloppy about the land, after all, Cao Ying still has a new atmosphere, everyone wants to do things, and will not spoil their future prospects for the sake of money.

But these families don't just own land, the total value of his other property is still on the land, and these things, according to Zhang Xuan's original intention, are left to these families. After all, Zhang Xuan still has a little legal principle in his heart. In Zhang Xuan's view, the rise of these families is a concession of the Ming Dynasty, and if the Ming Dynasty is gone, there is no legal basis for him to own land, and all the things given to them by the Ming Dynasty will be taken back by the new dynasty, but other properties are not so justifiable.

But other generals don't think so, and they don't have this concept.

They followed Luo Rucai to be born and die, in order to be something, in order to be a dragon hero, promoted to become rich, and these floating wealth were naturally included in the hands of generals from all over the world. In this way, these people who were still mud legs in Shaanxi a year ago will have a net worth of more than 100,000 taels a year later. No matter when, the change of dynasty is a huge redistribution of interests.

In the face of this situation, even if it is Luo Rucai, it is difficult to say anything?

Why are you the emperor and don't let the old brother make money?

Luo Rucai could only beat them one by one and warn them to stop. Don't cross the line, you can only deal with the officers of the guard, you can't expand it.

And in this way, the Jiangnan gentry can't help but feel that everyone is in danger, lest these Shaanxi mud legs don't pay attention to food and appearance, and put their thoughts on their heads, and the pressure and prestige of Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng are increasing day by day.

The pressure was on the gentry everywhere to make the two of them find a way, but the prestige was because of the ruthless actions of King Wu, which greatly increased the prestige of the entire Nanjing regime. As the first assistant and the second assistant of King Wu, the two of them are also rising. Even the gentry who said that Ruan Dacheng was a eunuch every day also bowed their heads and said: Jigong.

The two also wrote to Luo Yulong one after another, and began to implement their plan to transfer Zhang Xuan out of Jiangnan.

In the city of Yangzhou.

Luo Yulong sat in Yangzhou and resisted Lu Zhenfei's advance

Attack.

In fact, the two sides have not been fighting fiercely for a while, and they are testing each other.

Lu Zhenfei attacked a few times, but without waiting for Luo Yulong to make a move, Li Rugui defeated Lu Zhenfei's new army.

After all, the army is not something that is pulled out in a hurry, and everyone has combat effectiveness.

The reason why Luo Yulong is not attacking now is that he is looking for a decisive moment. He didn't want to be dragged in Jiangbei. Luo Yulong has grown a lot in the past two years, and he has begun to grow beards, and he looks a lot more mature and stable. Under Luo Rucai's words and deeds, he can also look at the overall situation.

Coupled with the training of the government in Nanjing, his vision has long been out of the corner, at least the overall situation of Cao Ying is in Luo Yulong's heart.

Therefore, he knew that Jiangbei was only the center of gravity of Cao Ying, and if it really didn't work, he would rather establish a Jiangbei defense line and put the official army in the north, and he must defeat Zuo Liangyu as soon as possible, there was a risk of the whole river. Therefore, he didn't want to stay in Jiangbei for long.

Pay attention to the situation in Nanjing at all times.

Just when Luo Yulong was talking to Li Rugui about the battle situation. Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng's letter came to Luo Yulong's hands.

After Luo Yulong saw it, he frowned slightly and stopped speaking for a while.

"Shizi, but is there anything going on in Nanjing?" Li Rugui said.

Luo Yulong smiled slightly, put the letter on the table, and said, "Are you okay?" It's just a trick made up by Zhang Xuan. He immediately said Zhang Xuan's policy.

Li Rugui patted his thigh and said, "Zhang Pingzhi still has a brain, why didn't I think of such a good way?" ”

Luo Yulong asked, "Uncle Li, do you say that Zhang Xuan's method is good?" ”

"Of course, it's okay to make money in the name of righteousness, and people are still blocked from speaking, and the profits are shared up and down." Li Rugui said: "It's a good way. ”

Luo Yulong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Uncle Li, are you very short of money?" ”

Li Rugui's old face turned slightly red, and said: "The prince doesn't know, there are too many good things in the south of the Yangtze River, my old Li has never seen it in half my life, this is inevitably tight, but the prince can rest assured, my old Li never dared to disobey King Wu's military orders." ”

Luo Yulong sighed slightly in his heart, and said secretly: "This is what the army wants, unstoppable." ”

Qian Qianyi and Ruan Dacheng wanted Luo Yulong to let Luo Rucai take back his life. But Luo Yulong didn't want to have a hard fight with Luo Rucai, and Li Rugui's statement made Luo Yulong dispel this thought.

Without him, he wanted to use Jiangnan manpower and material resources for his own use, and the heart of the gentry had to be taken care of. But Luo Yulong will not forget what Cao Ying's root is, it is an army of more than 100,000 people.

Before Cao Ying, there was an obvious partnership relationship, that is, Luo Rucai was

The head of Cao Ying, but every general has his own small circle, his own descendants, and even if he doesn't agree, he can pull his own people to defect to others.

It is the common phenomenon of the rebel army, otherwise Li Zicheng would not have wanted to solve the problem with fire and Luo Rucai.

Although after the Xiangyang Revolution that day, Luo Rucai also set out to solve this problem, such as separating the two Yang brothers, focusing on cultivating the Luo family's own people, as well as in-laws. It's all what Luo Rucai thinks.

However, some problems left over from history still cannot be completely resolved, and these high-ranking generals are all die-hard in the army.

After all, in the era of cold weapons, when you go into battle to kill the enemy, there is no protection of your own soldiers, you are simply looking for death, these soldiers are all cronies who dare to die for the generals, and that general does not have one or two hundred die-hard elites, and when an order is given, it means that the elite who killed Luo Rucai and he also followed will not be able to mix in this position at all.

Therefore, it is much more important to win over these people than to win over the hearts of the gentry.

After the army went down to the south of the Yangtze River, many old brothers asked Luo Ru to reward them, aren't these people thinking about it, your Luo family sits in the world and doesn't give your brothers a mouthful of soup. At that time, Luo Rucai used Qian Qianyi to fool the past, and this time I am afraid I can only allow it.

Luo Yulong said: "Uncle Li, you should also take it easy, now the world is undecided." While you're still using force, don't be in a woman's bed and can't get up. ”

"That's going to happen." Li Rugui smiled, but vaguely felt that he had a little kidney pain, and said secretly: "It's time for me to be a little more restrained." ”

As Luo Yulong spoke, he silently remembered Zhang Xuan's matter in his heart. Secretly said: "Zhang Xuan's move has won the hearts of all the generals, Jiangnan is the foundation of Cao Ying in the future, I know that Zhang Xuan has no different intentions, but he can't let Zhang Xuan stay in Jiangnan for a long time." But now there is no hurry, after Zheng Zhilong solves it, it is not too late to transfer him to the west. ”

Although Luo Yulong was a little jealous of Zhang Xuan in his heart, he still trusted mostly, trusted Zhang Xuan's loyalty, and trusted Zhang Xuan's ability, although the situation in Jiangnan was a little tricky, he also believed that Zhang Xuan could settle it.

He turned around in his heart, turned the topic back to his eyes, and said, "This road Zhenfei, what does Uncle Li think to do?" ”

Li Rugui said: "Lu Zhenfei is not worried, if it weren't for this canal, I wouldn't have taken the other party a long time ago, and I wouldn't have to come over." I'm ready to fill in the river. It's just the officers and soldiers of the Jiangbei war, and in Yangzhou, and in Fengyang. Gao Jie's wife, although his character is not good, his skills in fighting are still excellent. If Gao Jie is not solved, even if Lu Zhenfei is defeated, the war in Jiangbei will not be calmed down for a while. ”

"Gao Jie, don't worry." Luo Yulong said: "I have to deal with this matter. ”

How to deal with Gao Jie, before Luo Yulong left Nanjing, he discussed it with Luo Rucai, and he secretly said in his heart: "Calculate the time, it should also come." ”
