?? The Fang La army fled all the way west from Hangzhou, and the elite iron cavalry of the imperial court pursued it for two days and two nights, constantly killing the remnants of the Fang La army all the way, and finally drove it to the area of Xiuning County, Huangshan. In the end, Fang La fled into the mountains with less than a thousand men, and the imperial army temporarily gave up the pursuit.

However, all exits into the mountains are tightly sealed by the imperial army, although the deep mountains are not suitable for large troops to enter, but Fang La's rebels must be exterminated, and the imperial court will definitely not let him hide in the deep mountains like this.

In the city of Hangzhou, Wu Zhi has been here for two days, and after the imperial army conquered Hangzhou that day, Wu Zhi took over the seal of Hangzhou Zhizhou as the Jiangning Mansion Yin, who was in charge of the affairs of the states in the south of the Yangtze River, and took charge of the government affairs of Hangzhou, the largest state in the south of the Yangtze River.

The situation in Hangzhou was much worse than expected, so Wu Zhi was very busy in the past two days, and his main work was to implement the new policy and compensate the people. Even with the help of the Chamber of Commerce Bank, it will take at least half a month to completely stabilize the situation in Hangzhou.

The news that Fang La had fled to the mountains with the remnants of his troops had been transmitted back to Hangzhou, and Tong Guan was distressed by this, because the area of Huangshan was full of cliffs and deep mountains and old forests, and it stretched for hundreds of miles. Fang La's thousands of people fled there, not to mention that it was difficult to search, and even if they were found, the imperial court would not be able to send troops to encircle and suppress them.

That kind of deep mountain and old forest, if you are not familiar with the terrain and rush into it, there is only a dead end.

Although the twists and turns that can conquer Hangzhou and recover all the lost territory in the south of the Yangtze River have been reported to the imperial court, the leader of the rebellion, Fang La, must either be killed or captured. There must be an ending before the army can complete the task completely, and the class will return to Beijing!

In short, if Fang La can't be caught in one day, Tong Guan and his hundreds of thousands of troops will not be allowed to return to Beijing for a day, otherwise leaving Fang La with such a hidden danger in Jiangnan, no one in the court will feel at ease.

The top priority was to catch Fang La as soon as possible, Tong Guan asked all his subordinates if there was no good solution, so he had to find Wu Zhi, who was already busy.

But Wu Zhi is not a god, and he has nothing to do about this kind of thing. In his previous life, he was a native of Huizhou, Anhui Province, and knew that the deep mountains of the Huangshan generation were so deep that they could be said to be endless, and there were cliffs and boulder abysses everywhere.

"It seems that we can only disperse the army into a small force and go deep into the mountains and forests to find it!"

Tong Guan had a bitter face, and it was a taboo in the army to scatter the army into small groups and spread out like a net, and it was easy to be blocked and broken.

But otherwise, they couldn't find Fang La.

"That's ......" Wu Zhi groaned, and said to Tong Guan: "Don't send too many soldiers, but send out all the martial arts generals in the army, and each squad is best controlled to less than fifty people, so that the chance of finding Fang La is greater." ”

"Is that possible?"

"It works. Jungle warfare is not a large-scale battlefield battle, but also a test of personal strength, and sending too many soldiers is a burden. And if there are fewer people, it is more flexible, and when encountering the Fang La army, the enemy can also advance and retreat, and the enemy will chase after me, stick them to the death, and wait for support. ”

In later generations, such tasks in the deep mountains were entrusted to the special forces, and the reason is precisely that fighting in the mountains is the time to test the quality and ability of individual soldiers.

"Good! Just as you say! I'll go deploy! ”

…………

After Tong Guan left, Wu Zhi called Zhao Hu and asked, "Sichuan hasn't replied yet?" ”

"Nope."

"yes, I see."

Wu Zhi waved his hand, but couldn't help frowning.

Since he came to Jiangnan, the area under Wu Zhi's jurisdiction has been constantly expanding, from Jiangning Mansion, to Wujiang, to Suzhou...... Until now he has taken over Hangzhou, Wu Zhi has only one Qin Hui under his hands, and he must find another capable henchman to help him deal with cumbersome government affairs, and the most important thing is to be able to reconstruct Jiangnan officialdom and make Jiangnan officialdom look new and play its functions.

The common people do not like most of the arrogant officials, but the fact is that only with these officials can the country function, the society can be stable, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.

Wu Zhi now urgently needs the big and small officials in the Jiangnan region to do a good job, and he wants to subsume them into the bureaucratic system of the Shandong system and become a part of his own power, which is not easy to do. So when he first arrived in Suzhou, he sent a letter to Wu Yong, who was in Sichuan, asking him to go to Jiangnan to help him deal with government affairs.

Wu Yong has also been in Jiangnan for more than a year and knows the situation here very well.

But until now, Wu Yongchat in Sichuan has no news, and Wu Zhi doesn't even know if he has received the letter.

In ancient times, this was the most annoying, there was no mobile phone, no airplane, high-speed rail......

Helpless, Wu Zhi only picked up his pen and wrote another note, he planned to transfer Xiao Rang to Jiangnan to assist him.

At the critical moment, Wu Zhicai finally realized how thin his foundation in officialdom was. I can't find an official who is familiar with government affairs to help me, and I can't find it, looking at it, there are a lot of business wizards under my command, but businessmen and officials are different, if Brother Yun and Jiang Jing are transferred to deal with the affairs of officialdom, it is estimated that they will be helpless at all.

After thinking about it, Xiao Rang, who has been in charge of the group's personnel, can barely help himself.

"In the future, we must cultivate more officialdom talents like Qin Hui!"

While blowing the ink on the note, Wu Zhi thought that there were not many things that the Qingliu people in the imperial court could do, and Wen Tang had some potential, and he could be promoted in the future. There are also those local officials in Shandong, Wu Zhi doesn't know much about their abilities, and he will have to visit more places in the future, and it is not impossible to promote Wu Zhi when he encounters capable people.

"My lord, Mr. Wu is here!"

Just as he was thinking about it, Zhao Hu came to report in surprise.

"Mr. Wu? Which Mr. Wu? ”

"Mr. Wu Yong!"

"He's already here?"

Wu Zhi hurriedly put down the note in his hand and hurriedly greeted him, not even having time to put on his shoes, only wearing summer socks.

"Wu Xuexue, it turns out that you received my letter!"

After Wu Zhi saw Wu Yong, who was in the dust, he hugged him, and Wu Zhi felt for the first time that Wu Yong's poor scholar was quite cute.

"Letter? What letter? ”

Wu Yong looked confused.

"You didn't receive the letter? So how do you know I'm looking for you? Wu Zhi was puzzled.

Wu Yong said with a smile: "I know that the generals of the Jiangnan states were in charge of the imperial courts, and when the imperial army attacked Suzhou, they had already come out of Sichuan and Shu to help the officials. However, it is difficult to go to Shu and to go to the sky...... So, I walked for more than a month to get here. ”

"Haha! Mr. Wu is clever! I think about you every day! ”

Wu Zhi's old face was slightly red, but Wu Zhi didn't care, and took Wu Yong's little hand: "Let's go, Mr. has been tired all the way, hurry up and go into the house to rest!" ”

…………

After Wu Yong came to help, Wu Zhi finally relaxed, and he brought all the officials in Jiangnan under his influence, not only to expand his power, but more importantly, to quickly restore the status of one of the economic centers of the entire Jiangnan Great Song Dynasty.

Only by centralizing power will it be possible to enforce prohibitions and quickly implement new policies.

However, although these new officials in Jiangnan are people under Wu Zhi's power, it does not mean that they can do evil, because all the officials under Wu Zhi's faction, except for Wu Zhi, have a greater binding force.

That is the law of the land, and the conscience of every man's heart.

Wu Zhi is not a person who forms a party for personal gain, he only forms a party for the stability and prosperity of his family, country and society, and then his life will be comfortable and secure.

Only when there is a country can there be a home, such a simple truth, but there have been countless smart people in the past generations who can't see it clearly, and even reversed it, encroaching on the country's social welfare, damaging the public and private, and finally leaving a stench for 10,000 years.
