Chapter 400: The Advance Crossing Conference (I)

"That's a good suggestion, just do what you want. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info "Chongzhen kicked the high dive," "Get up." ”

Gao Qiqian didn't get up: "Your Majesty, the slave still has a plan." Whether the 10,000 people of the Yulin Army stayed in Xuanfu and Datong, or withdrew to Qiongzhou Mansion, it was a hidden danger for the imperial court. The anti-gold Tartars have been hit hard this time, and I am afraid that they will not invade south again in a year or two. Now that Lord Hong and Lord Lu are encircling and suppressing the Liukou, His Majesty can order the Yulin Army to assist Lord Hong. ”

Chongzhen looked at Gao Qiqian and said with a smile: "Gao Qiqian, I really didn't expect you to have so many clever plans, you go and arrange it." ”

"The slave obeys." Gao Qiqian kowtowed.

Jiang Beiming and Zhou Lei stood on the head of Yulin Fort and looked out, Yulin Fort was surrounded by freshly built grass huts, and hundreds of thousands of people were now placed here.

"The will of the court has come down." Jiang Beiming looked into the distance and said, "Ye Zhan and Andreas were canonized as guerrilla generals, and we don't have any rewards for ourselves, but we just give me a second-rank false title of Dingguo general." ”

"Chongzhen still wants to win them over."

"There's nothing wrong with these, Ye Zhan and their Chongzhen can't win them over." Jiang Beiming continued, "But our plan may change, the imperial court asked us to assist Hong Chengchou to exterminate the Liukou, and you and Wang Qianxiang will go." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhou Lei asked, "Are all the independent divisions going?" ”

"I've already sent a letter home." Jiang Beiming replied, "Let's wait for news from home first, seize the time to train these refugees, and strive to send more people home." However, if we really want to exterminate the rogues, we still have to come up with a detailed plan, focusing on incorporation and supplementing extermination. ”

The general election was supposed to be held in July, but news from the north and south continued to be sent back to Yulin Bay. Time is running out, Lu Tianxiang discussed with Wei Yang and others, and decided to hold a temporary crossing conference in late June to solve the matter in front of him first.

There were a lot of topics at this conference, and Lu Tianxiang could only discuss them one after another, and the first topic was the matter sent back by Jiang Beiming about the elimination of the rogues.

A considerable number of people believe that Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng should not be eliminated, because Chongzhen's intention is obvious, this is to consume the strength of Yulin Bay.

But there are still some people who think that they can send a part of the army, because if they directly refuse the will of the imperial court, they are likely to turn against Chongzhen, and there is no need for Yulinwan to do this now, and it is not impossible to deal with Chongzhen.

Lu Tianxiang quietly looked at the arguing crowd below, there was one thing he didn't explain to the crossing assembly. Before the meeting, Lu Tianxiang called Zhang Guodong, Xu Lang and others together to study the trend of history.

In the original history, in July this year, Gao Yingxiang went out of Nanshan, waved his army and drove directly to Xi'an, and when the army arrived in Zhou to Heishuiyu, he was ambushed by Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi. On 20 July, he was captured and taken to Beijing, where he was executed.

Xu Lang made a suggestion, since Yulin Bay's plan was to incorporate the peasant army, it was best to use this purge to let Jiang Beiming find a way to rescue Gao Yingxiang. If Yulin Bay can rescue Gao Yingxiang, then it will not be a problem to incorporate the peasant army. But this plan must be kept strictly secret and must not be known to the Ming Dynasty government, so Lu Tianxiang did not explain it to the crossing conference.

Lu Tianxiang made it clear in his letter to Jiang Beiming that if the decision not to participate in the purge was made at the meeting, Jiang Beiming would also send a special task force to carry it out. To this end, the Military Commission sent a 50-man Marine Corps to Yulinbao.

"Everyone, everyone, stop arguing for now." Wei Yang patted the table, "Let me tell you what the Military Commission means, we agree in principle that the independent division will participate in this purge, and the specific implementation can be arranged by Jiang Beiming." ”

"No, no." As soon as Wei Yang's words fell, Nie Zhongbin shouted, "We don't have many troops in Yulin Bay now, if all the independent divisions stay in the north, what about the safety of Yulin Bay?" ”

"Yes, the safety of Yulin Bay is the most important thing." Di Chong also shouted, "According to the news brought back by Han Wantao and Xu Lang, tens of thousands of refugees will come to Yulin Bay soon." Now there are only 200 patrol houses, and without the army, we can't control the security of Yulin Bay. ”

"I also don't recommend that all independent divisions participate in the clearance." Sun Dalei continued, "The ambush battle in Zhenningbao this time was very good, but there were still more than 60 casualties. If the independent division goes all out to fight Gao Yingxiang and them, I'm afraid that the pension is indispensable. ”

"But it's not appropriate to send no soldiers at all." Someone else shouted, "It's better to divide the troops, some of them come back, and some of them go to clear them." ”

"On behalf of the committee, I make a proposal, let's vote on it." Lu Tianxiang spoke, "Transfer the 4th and 5th Infantry Regiments and an artillery battalion back, and the rest of the people will stay in the north to participate in the clearance." ”

Lu Tianxiang's proposal was reluctantly passed, and Ye Zhan would return to Yulin Bay with the Fourth Infantry Regiment and the first batch of refugees; The 5th Infantry Regiment and a heavy artillery battalion will return with the second group of refugees; Jiang Beiming led the remaining independent divisions to participate in the clean-up operation.

Lu Tianxiang took out the second bill: "Ladies and gentlemen, according to the news from Beijing, Chongzhen has agreed to collect taxes in Qiongzhou Mansion, and the will of the imperial court will be sent to Wang Kezong soon." I will go to Qiongzhou Mansion with Xia Yang to meet with Wang Kezong soon, our conditions have been issued to you, and now who has any ideas to put forward. ”

"Lu Lao." Sun Dalei was the first to stand up as the director of the tax bureau, "The imperial court has not said how much industrial and commercial tax it will collect now, we have been collecting 5% now, what if the imperial court's tax rate is higher than ours, which standard do we collect?" ”

"I will discuss this issue with Wang Kezong in detail." Lu Tianxiang replied, "Our principle is to send people to assist Wang Kezong in collecting taxes, no matter how much the imperial court collects, we will divide it according to the ratio of 442. The imperial court and Yulin Bay accounted for forty percent, and Wang Kezong accounted for two percent. ”

"Old Lu, can this work?" Cheng Yiyi also participated in this meeting, "We are the same as the imperial court, can Chongzhen agree?" ”

"Yiyi, it is impossible for Chongzhen not to agree." Xia Yang smiled, "We will give Chongzhen a base, no matter how it is divided, the income of the imperial court will not be lower than this base." Of course, if Chongzhen doesn't agree, let's leave it alone, and when the time comes, Chongzhen may be difficult to collect the money. Didn't there happen when his grandfather killed a miner to kill a tax supervisor? ”
