The porter claimed that the adults had gone out early in the morning, probably to help everyone bring water for irrigation, and would probably come back in the evening.

Qian Bangqi looked quite surprised, and said with a smile: "You said that the prefect went out to do farm work, this, this is really unbelievable." ”

The porter explained with a smile as he ushered the two into the hall: "The two errands, the adults said, there is no right to speak if you do anything without investigation.

In the past, the government did not attach importance to water conservancy at all, and the canals in more than a dozen Guantun paddy fields were blocked, and if water could not be diverted, there might be thousands of acres of fertile land that could not be planted with rice.

We adults are geniuses, many old sailors can't lead water, we adults watch it, let everyone do it, and the water will be successfully diverted in half a day. ”

Qian Bangqi sneered: "Oh, what you adults have learned is too miscellaneous, you are leading troops to fight, you are governing one side, and now you are irrigating and diverting water, you adults are really omnipotent." ”

The porter ushered the two into the hall and said as they walked, "How much do we adults know?"

In the past few days, the adults have gone to the official camp in the morning to draw water, at noon they have gone to the ordnance institute to study with the craftsmen and masters how to cast weapons, and in the afternoon they have returned to the prefect's yamen to deal with official business, and in the evening they are compiling military books.

Don't you know that our adults are compiling a new military book based on Qi Wuyi's "Records of Military Training", and after the busy farming, each battalion will select and send outstanding officers to study? ”

Glancing at Fan Wenguang, the two came to the hall and were led into the side hall to watch the tea break.

After an hour like this, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, and Yang Lin quickly returned to the prefect's yamen with more than ten personal soldiers, and then the officials came back one after another.

Qian Bangxin and Fan Wenguang were introduced into the hall, and Yang Lin even put on the incense case to receive the order, and heard that he was officially appointed by the imperial court as the prefect of Shunqing, the position of general, and sent two supervisors at the same time, although he was quite unhappy in his heart, but he kept laughing.

Everyone congratulated one after another, one by one couldn't help but be overjoyed, Yang Lin put away the holy decree, respectfully put it on the incense table, and everyone sat down again.

Qian Bangxin, who was at the head of the bottom, arched his hand and said: "General, ten days ago, Ma Gan, the governor of Sichuan, and Zeng Ying, the deputy general of the Ming army, led his troops to capture Chongqing, but Zhang Xianzhong ordered his righteous son, Zhang Wenxiu, the general of Funan, to lead his troops down the Fujiang River and gallop thousands of miles to help Chongqing in order to fight for Chongqing.

The general is the guest of honor of the Shu Palace, and his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty is far from being comparable to ordinary people, I don't know when the general will set off and lead the volunteers to attack the rear of Zhang Wenxiu's army to protect the safety of Chongqing? ”

It turned out that in the month that Qian Bangqi and Fan Wenguang left Zunyi, the war in Chongqing had changed, and although Zeng Ying's department suffered a slight setback, its department had 30,000 people, many soldiers and horses, and its strength was strong.

And Liu Tingju is no more than a governor of the Great Western Army, the original Great Western Army will only have more than 3,000 soldiers, and the rest are the Sichuan guards who have just been annexed, although the strength of Zhang Guangcai's assistance has recovered, but it is still insufficient compared with the righteous army.

And at this time, one of the generals stationed in Fuling was a general under Zeng Ying's department, Zeng Ying sent people to say peace, so secretly opened the city gate, and the Ming army took advantage of the chaos to capture Fuling City, and then drove straight in, occupying Futu Pass ten days ago and capturing Chongqing City.

At this time, Zhang Wenxiu led the reinforcements down the Fujiang River, just arrived at Hezhou City, and now heard that Chongqing City was occupied, Zhang Wenxiu did not panic, packed up the remnants of the defeated generals, led the troops down the river from the north, and stormed Chongqing Liukou.

Yang Lin frowned, how to talk about military affairs in public, this sense of secrecy is too poor.

waved his hand to let everyone retreat, leaving only a cadre of generals in the hall, staff officers and Shi Jinchen, Zhao Sixuan and others.

Yang Lin walked to the huge map of Sichuan in front of him, pointed to the map and said, "The two are on the same page, and now the situation has changed."

Since the beginning of this year, especially after the accession to the throne in Nanjing, the Great Western Army suffered a disastrous defeat in Hanzhong, although the people in various places have revolted against the tyranny of the Great Western Army, now Zhang Xianzhong and the Liukou have reacted and are mobilizing the so-called four generals and five capital governors to wait for an opportunity to counterattack.

Although it seemed to be quite powerful at the beginning, the main force of the Great Western Army was still there, and under its all-out counterattack, the rebels in various places were ruthlessly suppressed.

In the upper reaches of the Jialing River, it was the governor Liu Jinzhong who led the cavalry battalion to defend Langzhong, threatening to go down the river to attack our Pengzhou and Shunqing Fucheng.

To the north of me, the leaders of the local tyrants, Huang Long and Yuan Tao, were unwilling to fail, and now they are taking advantage of the fact that our main force is in Guang'an Prefecture, delusionally hoping to make a comeback and reoccupy my Dazhou.

In the west, Wang Jiye, the governor of Liukou, occupies Xichong and is ready to flank our army at any time.

In the south, Zhang Dingguo, the general of Liukou Anxi, and Bai Wenxuan, the former military governor, Zhang Dingguo and Bai Wenxuan, who led their troops to Tongchuan Prefecture two days ago, are now dispatching troops and preparing to capture Shunqing Mansion at any time.

Two adults, my volunteer army can be said to be in full danger, and the slightest carelessness may be in danger of overturning. ”

Qian Bangxin was furious, pointed to the map and said: "Yang Lin, you are proud of Qi Wuyi, Yue Wumu, I think you just want to support the army and respect yourself."

Chongqing is the gateway to Sichuan, if our army recovers Chongqing, the northern Sichuan, eastern Sichuan, and southern Sichuan armies can be connected together, and also cut off the retreat of the Great Western Army, the battle of Chongqing, it can be said that our Ming army exterminated the most important battle of the Liukou, if Chongqing is lost, the whole battle situation will take a sharp turn.

How can you be sluggish, do you want to raise your own dignity? ”

Yang Lin was quite annoyed, his hands were on the beach, and he looked quite aggrieved and said: "Qian Yushi, Qian Jianjun, you are not a loss of imperial history, you will take a big hat to buckle people's heads at every turn, I will report the truth of the volunteers to the two superiors, and before I finish speaking, Qian Yushi will play the true character of a speech official, and take a big hat to buckle my head."

Qian Yushi, if we can't be honest with each other, if we don't buckle our hats at every turn, if so, don't talk about exterminating the rogues, we ourselves will be torn apart.

Qian Yushi, you are old, you are a Jinshi, you are a scholar, you are just a showman, if there is anything wrong, you can tell me privately, don't buckle your hat in public, if we are like this, what do the soldiers think? ”

Qian Bangqi was speechless when asked, sat down heavily, and arched his hand: "Lord Yang, Qian is in a hurry, maybe what he said just now was a little too much."

It's just that the military situation is urgent, Lord Wanwang should not procrastinate, saving soldiers is like fighting a fire. ”

Fan Wenguang next to him smiled and said, "Lord Yang, as you just said, Lord Qian is from a speech official, and his temperament is a little anxious.

You don't know, along the way, I saw that the people were still living and working in peace and contentment in this troubled world, and the old man and Lord Qian praised the adults at that time.

The old man is a member of the household department, and he still has a lot of experience in financial management. Along the way, I saw that the government officials actually tore up the invoice after collecting taxes, but I was full of praise.

In the past, in order to prevent corruption among the servants, everyone tried every means in the past to cure it.

I can't imagine that adults only need to use the trick of invoices to cut off the past officials to collect black money, and I can't imagine that the method is so simple, which is really an eye-opener for the old man.

Also, this ID card, when handling it, do not take a penny, the errand every day in the bazaar, in the hotel to check whether everyone has an ID card, although some people attack as strict as Qin Law, some people even complain that the errand check the ID card, the ID card is lost, not only need to certify physical evidence to prove themselves, but also have to pay a certain fine.

Although everyone may have complained about the ID card, Lord Qian praised it, believing that it not only prevented spies from getting in, but also greatly benefited the imperial court's hukou system.

Just like Lord Qian said, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, except for the time of Hong Wuye, the national household registration statistics may be slightly accurate, for more than 200 years, the household registration in various places has been confused and has never been accurate. ”

Seeing that the other party's posture softened, Yang Lin couldn't continue to keep a straight face, and said with a smile: "Two adults, there is no absolutely good system in the world, there is only the most suitable system in the world, just like this invoice system, this ID card system, there is a good side, there is also a bad side, we are the official side, that is, to promote the good and eliminate the bad, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let the people really get benefits, so that everyone will support the government and the court."

Just like just now, I just reported the actual situation around us, just introduced the situation and hoped that everyone could be honest with each other, I didn't expect Qian Yushi to split his head and cover his face as soon as he came up, I, I was really hurt. ”

Seeing Yang Lin pretending to be injured, everyone burst into laughter, and Qian Bangxin also felt embarrassed, and stood up again and again to apologize.
