Chapter 223: The Deal with Huangfu Ji (2) (1st Update)
Huang Fuji's face changed greatly, but he quickly regained his usual composure, and he nodded: "Wang joins the army, your idea is good, but what is the reason?" There are so many generals on this expedition, and the general who came to the previous stage of the operation has made great contributions, second only to me, if nothing else, even if the battle of Minyue ends, he will be the first in military merit, and then it should be the secretary of the dynasty, how can it be placed in the remote and desolate Fujian? ā
Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed green: "It is because of the general's military achievements in this battle, so it is good to report like this, General Huangfu, please think about it, this time the general came to kill tens of thousands of thieves in a series of battles after crossing the river, and the next southern expedition to Minyue is also indispensable for military exploits, which can be described as a powerful Jiangnan, putting him here, of course, can deter restless potential traitors."
Besides, the general himself was born on the edge of the Yangtze River, let him guard the south of the Yangtze River, there is nothing to say, if the land of Minyue has just been conquered, the imperial court will not have time to transfer the assassination history, let the general temporarily replace the assassination history, implement military management, if he does a good job and exterminates the remnants of the rebels, it shows that the general from East and South Africa is not enough, isn't there more reason to keep him? ā
A smile flashed on Huang Fuji's face, all he was thinking about was how to come to Hu'er after returning to Suzhou, saying that he was doing mischief in Songjiang City and snatching military merits, but when he thought of Yang Jian, he was a person who never punished meritorious heroes, as long as his subordinate generals made great contributions, it was not a small thing at all.
Just like the last time Nan Chen was wiped out, He Ruobi went out to fight against the order, and Han Baohu robbed the inner library, both of which were far greater than the merit of Songjiang who came to protect the children. But it didn't affect the promotion of the two at all. I think if I hold on to Matsue's affairs this time. It is also impossible to directly hit the child who came to the nurse.
But Wang Huaqiang's excuse of stabilizing Jiangnan to let Laihu'er stay is a good way. Now in the north, the local official positions at the level of the assassin history and the official position in the court, because a large number of meritorious ministers of the Southern Expedition and the magnates of the Southern Chen need to be placed, and the quota is very tight for a while, and even he can only stay in the position of the Suzhou Thorn History. And with Yang Jian's character, if he can do well in Fuzhou, he will stay here for a long time.
Huang Fuji thought of this, and nodded with satisfaction, in this way, the foundation and relationship of Laihu'er must all stay in the south, at least two terms, and he will not return to the north within ten years.
Huang Fuji spoke: "The king joins the army." It's not bad for you to mention yƬ, but the relationship between the old man and Gao Servant is not very good. Personal relations are general, if you want the old man to write a secret letter to Gao Servant, it may backfire, I heard Yang Dashuai say that you were personally introduced by Gao Servant, it is better to convey this mention by you, how about it? ā
Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly: "General Huangfu, you are the Shangzhou Assassin of Zhengsanpin, General, I am now just a temporary lieutenant soldier with no rank and no rank to join the army, if the army is disbanded on the spot, I am just an ordinary person, how can I talk to Gao Servant." I can't talk much about this kind of matter involving the personnel of generals and ministers, and I need you or Marshal Yang to report it jointly. ā
Huang Fuji thought about it and gritted his teeth: "Hmph, come to Hu'er to beat my people like that, this matter can't be just left like that, take some risks, take some risks, Wang joins the army, I will write this letter, you don't have to bother, but the old man still has two problems, one is that if all the officers under the old man are taken away by you, who will command the defenders of Suzhou, and the other is that the miasma in Lingnan makes people smell and change, and how many people are willing to go with you?" ā
Wang Huaqiang laughed: "Don't worry, General Huangfu, the last general has a friend named Mai Tiecan, who is now the governor of the army, and you may have heard of this person." ā
Huang Fuji repeated the name twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Is that the warrior who crossed the river to reconnoiter and returned to the camp safely after killing more than 20 enemy soldiers?" ā
Wang Huaqiang nodded: "It is this person, he is from Shixing, he has a unique secret recipe for preventing and treating miasma, and with his help, he should be able to not be afraid of miasma." ā
Huangfu Ji sighed: "The expedition to Lingnan has always been the most troublesome thing is the local miasma, if this problem can be solved, then it is not too difficult to pacify Lingnan, Wang joined the army, you say this, even the old man is interested in going to Lingnan to make contributions." There was a hint of envy and helplessness in his words.
Wang Huaqiang hurriedly followed and snorted: "General Huangfu is the pillar of the country, now that the land of Sanwu has just been pacified, and important ministers like you are needed to garrison, Yang Dashuai can march into Minyue with peace of mind without worries, Lingnan is just a bunch of barbarians, as long as the miasma matter is resolved, there is no need to worry." ā
Huangfu Ji patted Wang Huaqiang on the shoulder: "Wang joined the army, there is no need to comfort the old man like this, the old man has passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, this time he can stay alone in Suzhou, he has already made a wish, it really doesn't matter if he goes to Lingnan or not, I didn't pay special attention to it, just a moment of emotion, just a joke, by the way, do you want the old man to help you arrange officers and veterans now?" And the old man asked earlier about how to stabilize the Suzhou army, what is your good plan? ā
Wang Huaqiang said with a straight face: "This matter, the last general has already taken care of it, this time the last general wants to take away two hundred officers, including one hundred veterans and one hundred officers, and the officers who are taken away can be transferred to each hundred team to a governor or a deputy governor, so that one person will not affect the command, and the outstanding sergeant in this battle can also be promoted to replace the person who left, and the impact on the troops should not be too great." ā
When Wang Huaqiang said this, he took a step forward, lowered his voice and said: "There is another one, this time the last general will take away two hundred people, and General Huangfu can just promote some of the officers captured by the Southern Dynasty and integrate them into your own soldiers, and they can also be brought back to the north in the future." ā
Huangfu Ji's face changed: "How can this be?" The commander asked me to guard the captives, but he didn't agree to let me take them in. ā
Wang Huaqiang smiled: "More than 50,000 prisoners, relying on our sergeants alone, sooner or later there will be chaos, but if you promote some junior officers of the rebel army and let them assist our army to take care of the prisoners together, these people have prestige among the prisoners, if there are more than a dozen people like Liu Quan, who can effectively subdue the prisoners, then the general will be much easier." ā
Huangfu Ji pondered for a moment and shook his head: "But these are all anti-thieves, even if they are in the future, they will go to the border pass to serve as slaves, and it is impossible for me to integrate these people into my Great Sui army." ā
Wang Huaqiang shook his head, a strange look appeared on his face: "General Huangfu can think of other ways, if these people are enslaved in the future, they will naturally go to the north, this time the general has made a great contribution, after going back, the emperor will definitely increase the number of your slaves and maids, rather than spending money to buy slaves again, it is better to use these people directly." ā
What Wang Huaqiang said is that after Yang Jian established the Sui Dynasty, there were laws and regulations that strictly limited the number of slaves and maids in the officials' households, just like the number of fields.
A general of this level like Huangfu Ji often has only more than a hundred slaves and maids, of course, if it is a personal soldier and staff recruited after the opening of the palace, it is not included, but these people do not have such a dependence on these high-ranking officials and nobles, so they are not as loyal and reliable as their own slaves.
Huang Fuji thought about it, but still waved his hand: "Wang joins the army, your good intentions are appreciated by the old man, but the old man's family also has more than 100 domestic slaves according to the custom, and these southern officers are all wealthy families and small landlords in the south, but I am afraid that I will not feel at ease as a domestic slave." ā
Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "At this time, at that time, when they are calling for wind and rain in the south, of course they will not be human slaves, but if it is compared with going to the north to fill the army, being your domestic servant in Daxing City is probably a beautiful errand that everyone is fighting for."
