Chapter 334: Outside, Haoqiang, People's Hearts
When Wang Zheng's serial appointments were issued, everyone was puzzled and stunned.
It makes sense to help the Li family in Qixian County, after all, it is a relative of the Zuo Junyi, so it is natural to take care of it, but the important position of a firearms battalion officer like Ren Hu is only a guerrilla title on the side of the imperial court.
Besides, Ren Hu is still a general who fought in the south and the north from Denglai and Denglai, this Liu Guoneng was just a local tyrant of the rebellious court in the past, how could he directly give a guerrilla general such a high position.
However, then Wang Zheng held two internal military discussions, and vaguely mentioned a few words, and the generals realized that even if Liu Guoneng was later promoted to guerrilla under the Shandong army, he was also a general of the foreign department.
The external department of the Shandong army started from Liu Guoneng's side, and after that, it was generally appointed in the most chaotic and dangerous places, and it was necessary to rise to several families in a row to check and balance each other, and when it came to Anping, it was necessary to send relatives to the military generals to Shizhen, and there was not much real power.
In fact, Liu Guoneng, who returned to his camp that day, couldn't control his ecstasy, although the Shandong General Soldier and Zuo Liangyu were both famous, they were not the same at all.
One is stingy and picks the door, and the good things are used for their own enjoyment, and the other is tolerant and tolerant.
People with this status have changed suddenly, and many people and even the relatives behind them will ascend to heaven together, and they will be able to raise their heads when they see the soldiers and horses of each town in the future.
Hey, we're a guerrilla of the Shandong Army!
Liu Guoneng cried with joy, and he clearly saw it in the eyes of the soldiers and generals of the Shandong Army.
For a while, the thoughts of the relatives of the generals to reject Liu Guoneng dissipated a lot.
......
When the staff officers of the Military Council Department in Shandong heard this series of arrangements, they all immediately understood, and this seemed to be delegating power, but it was really an ordinary ploy.
The provinces under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong Province has been completely occupied by the Shandong army, even if the imperial court orders it, it is as stable as a rock, and will not be affected in the slightest.
However, most of the rest of the five provinces of the Central Plains, the Tusi ethnic groups in Yunnan, and the provinces of Nanzhili have been in turmoil, and the gentry have formed villages to protect themselves, and the officials and armies of various ministries have fought each other for the sake of a little benefit and face, and the fact that the Jiangnan has been peaceful cannot hide the fact that the world is in turmoil.
......
"If the Shandong army wants to succeed and set up a foundation, how many farms can be supported by cultivating in one province with the land of Qilu in Shandong alone? How many soldiers can you recruit? That's not enough! ”
In the lobby of the Military Division, Gu Junen, the director of the General Staff Office, raised his voice and kept slapping the table when he spoke, for fear that others would not be able to hear him because he was not paying attention.
Seeing that Li Yan of the Left Army and Guan Qingtian of the Right Army nodded slightly, Gu Junen continued:
"In my opinion, there are no more than 100,000 soldiers! In addition to those who are in the place, how many other strong troops can conquer the Quartet with the commander? If we don't take advantage of this troubled era to accumulate strength, once the general trend of the world changes, where will our Shandong army go!? ”
Gu Junen's voice was getting higher and higher, and finally Guan Qingtian couldn't listen to it anymore, and said a few "cough coughs", so he slowed down his tone.
Li Yan kept nodding, this person has a unique view and can often hit the nail on the head.
Officers and soldiers are the foil of the imperial court, since Wang Zheng is the general army of Shandong, it is equivalent to being demarcated the scope of management, if it is clear to stretch out his hand to other places, and is seen by the officials and imperial historians of the six science corridors of the North Zhili, I am afraid that it will become a wolf ambition and a big rebellion.
Originally, Li Yan was still thinking about how to come up with a foolproof plan for Wang Zheng, but before he could think about it, our handsome man arranged everything by himself.
Li Yan can actually see the clues from a series of orders, it seems that Wang Zheng does not plan to continue to Huguang, and should also make plans to leave Henan in the short term.
Before leaving, Henan naturally can't go in vain, and the series of rewards given by Wang Zheng is actually a simple way to win people's hearts.
The hearts of the people in Henan, Shaanxi and other provinces have completely fallen to the king of Chuang, and the army was defeated by the Shandong army outside Tongxu County, and even the old camp was mourned and scattered, but in just a few months, it was once again powerful, and it is said that there are now 100,000 people.
I don't know if this news is conclusive, but I can see the problem from it, if you want to work the people's hearts, it is indeed not something that can be completed overnight, and it is better not to be delusional for a while, Li Zicheng has firmly taken the initiative in this regard.
The rest are the local powerful families, but the Ming officialdom is a foregone conclusion, the imperial examination was presided over by the Donglin scribes, and the military generals also have hereditary generals and generations of generals, almost all the heroes have no chance to live in the officialdom, and can only be a local tyrant for generations.
The Li family of Qixian County is one of them, but he is fortunate to have a military department book, so Li Yan understands very clearly that Wang Zheng's series of orders is to go to the powerful family.
At least for now, they are the real rulers of the locality, with land, manpower, and property, and can gather a large number of villagers and tenants in a period of time.
However, these heroes do not have the slightest ability to protect themselves in front of the soldiers and bandits, so they are more like a wall grass, whichever side is strong, they will take refuge in whichever side, these people take the interests of their relatives as the code of conduct, as for the morality that the literati talk about, it is of no use to them.
The rogues are now here with these powerful ideas, and the coercion is just to rob them of the wealth they have accumulated over the years.
Since Gao Yingxiang took the camp and other thirteen rogues to chaos in Shaanxi, this situation is not as good as day by day, and now I don't know how many local wealthy families have been broken by the rogues, and there is no savings left in it, and it has ended up ruined.
Speaking of which, the local heroes and the government are naturally close, but the problem is here, the local officials and soldiers are too wasteful, whether it is the garrison of the guard or the guest army of each town, they are all benefits and receive all the benefits, once they hear that the thieves are coming, they will flee regardless of the wind.
In recent years, when Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, entered Henan, the situation was very different, and under the advice of the strategists Niu Jinxing and Song Xiance, he began to pay attention to those unsatisfactory literati and children of the family, and recruited them into the army to serve him.
The thieves who were originally a scourge to the world have now begun to do this, what is their intention, many people are like Spiegel in their hearts.
This news sounded like thunder in the ears of the local heroes and gentry, and it was even more like a frightened bird to contact the officials and soldiers everywhere, but anyone who could be contacted was either on the way to defeat or was about to withdraw to the province, and there was nothing to rely on at all.
At this time, Wang Zheng appeared as the marshal of the Shandong Army, the chief military officer of the Zhenger Bajingshi Town, and tens of thousands of strong soldiers under his command, which suddenly became the focus of attention of the heroes.
Since it is impossible to defect to the thief, it is necessary to find a big tree to lean on to enjoy the shade, depending on the situation, the Shandong army, which has just defeated the king of Chuang in Tongxu County, is the only court soldier and horse capable of guarding the place.
Of course, this big tree can't be leaned down by its own people, and some things still need to be helped and helped as much as you can.
Wang Zheng's identity as the commander-in-chief of Shandong is already the highest rank that a martial artist can do, and the Shandong army under his command is also a serious court soldier and horse, which can be accepted by local heroes with peace of mind.
However, there are some subtle things that many people may not have noticed, Wang Zheng recruited imperial generals and local heroes such as Liu Guoneng, Qixian Li, and Liu Jia of Guide Mansion, and he always did it in his own name.
These people also follow the internal rules and regulations of the Shandong Army, but they never mention the court and the emperor.
