In one corner of the camp, two lonely tents stand opposite each other, and two special people live in the two tents, one is Zhang Ning, the left minister of the Yue Kingdom, and the other is the great eunuch Le Gonggong next to Wu Jian. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Father-in-law Le was originally going to return to Yuejing City to report the news, but unfortunately, halfway through, he was intercepted by Aunt Ying, and he also became a captive.

In this small corner, there are only two guards guarding here, and it is better to say that they are guarding here, but they are taking care of them here, and when they arrive at the meal, they bring them food, and when they are done, they take it away.

At this moment, Zhang Ning, who has long lost the awe-inspiring power of the left prime minister, and the graceful demeanor of a scholar, hugged his knees, sat at the door of the tent, raised his head and squinted, looking at the sun in the sky.

Although he is basically isolated from the world now, from the cheerful conversation between the two guards, he still has a general understanding of the whole situation, the emperor was actually beheaded by Luo Yishui and died, Kang Qiao killed himself in Nanping Mountain, and the remaining Tiger Ben army laid down their weapons and became prisoners of war, and now they live in a place that is only a stone's throw away from him, and there is only a camp of the Taiping army camp in between.

He could clearly hear the sound of mourning and music coming from there, it was the Taiping Army holding a funeral for Concho, although Concho was dead, the Taiping Army still gave him courtesy. If he died, would he have this kind of treatment like Concho?

He shook his head, no.

Luckily for him, Luo Yishui really didn't pay attention to him anymore, this is a kind of luck for him, but more of a loss, yes, the old fox of the Liu family is right, he is not that important at all, his own power needs to be reflected with the help of the emperor's authority, when the emperor dies, he will become worthless.

An old dynasty is rapidly falling, and a new dynasty will rise from the ashes, which makes Zhang Ning feel very frightened. Yes, Qin Feng promised him that he would not pursue his past affairs again, but this was not enough to reassure him, it was very simple, when he had no power and everything, even if he was an ordinary official in the yamen, he could take care of him at will, and those old departments of the Luo clan would not let him go, just like that, I am afraid that my life will be very bad in the future.

It's just for you, but what about a big family?

Running away from home? If you don't say that you can't get away, where can you go even if you get out? Qi country? Or the state of Chu? Where did you go, and what is the difference between being in Vietnam?

I have to do something to change the current dilemma. Emperor Yue is no longer there, he has to plan for the Zhang family, he doesn't want to, one day in the future, the entire Zhang family will also be put on the guillotine on the bank of Luoshui.

If there is no power, those people have too many ways to clean him up.

He stood up and glanced at the small tent opposite, Grandpa Le, who was also his old acquaintance, had never come out since he was taken in and thrown here.

He walked over, and as soon as he lifted the tent, a foul smell of urine came to his nose, and the great eunuch Le Gonggong curled up in a corner of the tent like a wild dog, and when he saw him lift the tent and walk in, he just rolled his eyelids and glanced at it, and then lowered his eyes again, and lay there half-dead.

Zhang Ning couldn't help frowning, but in the end, he still endured and walked in.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, the two Chen Zhihua brothers sat there quietly, looking at Qin Feng.

"Two Xiao Chen generals." Qin Feng smiled, walked up to the two of them, and personally poured a glass of water for each of them, the high-level officials of the Luo Department all left with Luo Yishui, and now the more than 30,000 Luo soldiers are almost headed by the Chen brothers, and the matter of adapting the Luo Department is naturally discussed with these two people. "What I just showed the two of you is the specific plan for the reorganization of the army this time, and if you have any opinions, just put them forward."

The two got up, took the tea, turned around and put it on the coffee table, Chen Jinhua looked at his brother, Chen Zhihua muttered, "General Qin, you will lay off 15,000 people at once, is this range too big?" They were all experienced soldiers, and it would be a pity to lay them off like that. ”

Qin Feng nodded: "General Xiao Chen has a point, but there is naturally a reason why we do this." First, our Taiping Army, never to win by numbers, we take the route of elite soldiers, presumably the two of you also saw, although our Taiping Army was established for a short time, but the quality of the soldiers, equipment, are first-class, compared to the Tiger Army, but these are built on a large amount of silver, now the situation of the Yue country you also know, the chaos of the army, only afraid of this kind of chaos, will last for a long time, everywhere to silver, but the income is limited. And after we take over the country, the first thing we need to do is to restore the people's livelihood, not to expand outward, so the number of troops does not need to be so large. ”

After turning around in the big tent a few times, Qin Feng continued: "Second, over the years, the Yue Kingdom has been in constant war, and many places can be said to be uninhabited for hundreds of miles, you didn't go to Changyang County to take a look, the situation there is like no man's land, so we also need a large number of people to return to the place, to replant the land, redevelop commerce, and restore the people's livelihood little by little." Without a strong economy, everything is nonsense. ”

Chen Zhihua nodded silently, he has assisted his father in leading the border army for many years, of course he knows that the army has always been a big spender. Spending money like running water is really not a joke for the army. Maintaining a large army is a huge expense for any country.

Today's Yue country is indeed full of holes.

"So in this reorganization, the two generals Xiao Chen have to pay more attention, do more work, and make a smooth transition, I don't want any chaos." Qin Feng Dao.

"Don't worry, general, we will do this, but the soldiers who have been laid off, what will they do?" Chen Zhihua asked.

"Of course we're going to get to the bottom of it, not just a severance package." Qin Feng smiled and said: "All the areas that are now controlled by the Taiping Army, they can apply to go over, as long as they go, the local officials will prepare everything for them, houses, fields, farm tools, will be prepared for them, if they want to do business, these laid off soldiers can be exempted from tax for three years." ”

"Tax exemption for three years?" Chen Zhihua said in surprise: "But I know that in the area controlled by the Taiping Army, the commercial tax is relatively heavy. ”

Qin Feng laughed, "It seems that General Xiao Chen still put a lot of effort into it, yes, in the area controlled by the Taiping Army, the commercial tax is much heavier than the agricultural tax. But we don't look at these little businesses, they do business, they promote the flow of goods, they let the money flow instead of being hidden in the cellar and rust, they hire people, they pay these people, and when they have money, they take it out and buy things, well, in the end, the money will go back to the treasury in various ways. ”

Qin Feng said this, Chen Zhihua didn't understand it, but from Qin Feng's words, he also understood that retired soldiers would still be taken care of, and that was enough.

"Since that's the case, I'm more sure." He nodded.

Qin Feng nodded appreciatively: "Okay, the army is reorganized, this recent event, you have to worry about it more, the monk will go to your side to help first, firstly, after the reorganization, he will take a war camp, first go over to familiarize himself with the grassroots officers, and secondly, the military orders and military laws of our Taiping Army are very different from your previous ones, and the monks can also help you adapt to it as soon as possible, many things have to be changed." ”

"Yes, welcome General Huang." Chen Zhihua said to the monk sitting on the side.

"You're welcome." The monk grinned: "General Xiao Chen, with all due respect, the combat effectiveness of your border army may be very good in your eyes, but in my eyes, it is still far behind, don't dislike me when the time comes, I will not be polite, since the boss has given me a battle camp, I can't let him lose to the wolf of wild dogs, the rock of kittens, and the miners of Lufeng." ”

"I don't want to lose to them, so I'll ask Brother Huang for more guidance when the time comes." Chen Zhihua really admired the combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army, although the monk said it politely, he also knew that he was telling the truth, and there was indeed a gap between their army and the Taiping Army at present.

"Okay, that's basically it, monk, two Xiao Chen generals, I won't keep you, you should hurry up and get busy, finishing this thing as soon as possible will be the greatest benefit to us." Qin Feng smiled and waved his hand.

"Obey military orders!" The three of them all stood up, saluted Qin Feng, and turned around to leave the tent.

Looking at the monk who stepped out of the big tent with one foot, Qin Feng suddenly smiled and asked, "Monk, has your daughter-in-law's injury healed a little?" ”

"With Shu Maniac here, what big problem can there be, that is, this stupid woman has never fought such a battle before, and there will be no such thing in the future, and now kittens and wild dogs are making fun of me about this!" The monk scratched his head, "Ge Laozi, my daughter-in-law said that when she recovers from her injuries, she will ask one by one to come to the door to explain the truth." ”

Qin Feng laughed loudly, with Yu Xiu'e's martial arts cultivation, he really hit the door, and some of the kittens and wild dogs had headaches. With the current skills of kittens and wild dogs, it is really difficult to deal with Yu Xiu'e.

This brother and daughter-in-law are a bit second, and the monk's blessing is really good.

After sitting back on the big case, the scene of a petite woman wielding a big knife in her hand and shaking the galloping horse came to mind, and she still couldn't help but laugh wildly. This Yu Xiu'e is a perfect match for the people in the death camp.

Just as he was laughing to himself, the horse monkey hurried in, "Boss, boss." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Just now there was news from Zhang Ning's side, this old guy wants to see you? Say there's something very important to tell you, can you see it? "Horse monkey road.

Qin Feng blinked, "What's the important matter of this former prime minister, well, anyway, this is also the former prime minister of Daietsu, you go and bring him, I'll see him, and see what bad ideas he thinks of again." (To be continued.) )
