Chapter 418: Delivery of Armaments

Although Wang Rui did not act, he also knew that the water bandits were rampant in Jingzhou now, and he had already let the court know that he himself was unable to organize a naval army to conquer, but the imperial court sent this prince and Taifu to serve as the commander of the river protector who specialized in crusading against water thieves and robbers.

He knew that if he didn't cooperate, as soon as the prince and the prince went back to Beijing to become the emperor, then even if he bribed those eunuchs, it would be useless. Those eunuchs have no way to prevent Liu Yi from asking the emperor to remove him from his official position, besides, those eunuchs are not related to him, and it is impossible for them to have another dispute with Liu Yi for him. Therefore, if he can give Liu Yi some support, he will still do it.

"Dissatisfied with Lord Shi, in fact, the suppression of water thieves and robbers in the waters of the Yangtze River in Jingzhou has already begun to be carried out." Liu Yi said directly to Wang Rui: "You should also know that the affairs of the displaced people in Luoyang are governed by officials, right?" ”

"Oh? Already? The official has naturally heard about the displaced people in Luoyang Capital, but ...... Didn't you say that it had already been governed by Taiwei Yuan Kui? The crown prince and the princess, you said that this matter ...... "Wang Rui was a little puzzled by what the Luoyang refugees had to do with the suppression of water bandits.

"Hehe, then adults should also know that there are more than 100,000 displaced people in Luoyang, and all of them have migrated to Xinzhou in the Baling area of Jingzhou and Dòng Ting Lake, right?" Liu Yi has ascertained that in fact, the entire area around the mouth of Dòng Tinghu Lake is an area under the jurisdiction of Baling, which was still under the jurisdiction of Jingzhou in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was only later regarded as the jurisdiction of Hunan and renamed Yueyang.

"I know, of course I know, some time ago, the bamboo raft that transported the displaced people, formed a long dragon that could not be seen down the river, forming an amazing man-made magnificent landscape, the official was still in Xiangyang at that time, and was fortunate to see the spectacular scene, at that time, the official was shocked and inexplicable, more than 100,000 displaced people, migrating thousands of miles, it was so easy to do. It's not easy! Wang Rui nodded in a panic, and deliberately praised Liu Yi's words: "This official also specially sent someone to Wancheng to inquire about Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, and knew that the person who made such a feat was actually the prince and the prince, which really made the official deeply admire." ”

"Haha, that's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning, since you also know that it was I Liu Yi who found a way to migrate those homeless people to the Baling area, I should also know that Yuan Kui, the Taiwei, although he promised to help the more than 100,000 homeless people, but, in fact, how to move the homeless people and how to settle the homeless people is still in charge of me. Do you think that the Taiwei will come to the lake to care about the lives of the homeless? Liu Yi said with a smile: "The place to settle the homeless, called Xinzhou, is a place where the birds are not thin, and it is deserted, so I have to settle the homeless people where it is, but it is on the shore of Dòngting Lake, and it is easy to be disturbed by water thieves and robbers, so I can only pick out some young and strong people from those homeless people and set up a homeless self-defense team, well, that is, the soldiers and horses that my Jianghu Captain is going to use to clear the water pirates." ”

"I see." Wang Rui pretended to be suddenly enlightened.

In fact, he also knew a little bit in his heart why Liu Yi didn't come to Jiangling earlier to take over the 5,000 officers and soldiers sent from Beijing, because those officers and soldiers were not the team that Liu Yi trusted, and in addition, he could naturally find out that not long ago in the area from Wancheng to Yiyang, Liu Yi used the homeless soldiers to besiege and kill thousands of people, there are so many homeless people, why bother to lead those officers and soldiers who have many unstable factors? No matter how you say it, it is not as reassuring as the pro-military that you have formed.

"Then I don't know how many soldiers and horses the prince and prince have recruited?" Wang Rui then asked.

"Three thousand for the time being." Liu Yi said truthfully.

"Three thousand?" Wang Rui heard Liu Yi say three thousand, and he looked a little unbelievable, and at the same time, he also felt a little secretly happy in his heart, because he naturally knew that Liu Yi said that he wanted his support and help, and naturally he couldn't do without ordnance and weapons, and couldn't do without the food and salary of his soldiers and horses, and he also had a little preparation in his heart, ready to make a bloody preparation in order not to offend this prince and prince.

In fact, according to Wang Rui's estimation in his heart, because the emperor did not say how many soldiers and horses Liu Yi would lead to suppress bandits, there are great variables. According to his estimates, the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court to Liu Yi already have 5,000 men and horses, so that is to say, on the basis of 5,000 soldiers and horses, Liu Yi will at least add more soldiers and horses, and because the water thieves are very difficult, there are no several times or even more than ten times the strength of the water thieves, do ordinary people dare to lead the soldiers and horses to fight against those water thieves? Wang Rui prepared that if Liu Yilai asked him for knives, guns, clothes and armor, he could provide 10,000 sets at most, and if there were more, he Wang Rui would have no choice. These 10,000 sets, not counting the soldiers and horses from the imperial court, because the 5,000 soldiers and horses, they already carried equipment and weapons, and they didn't need him to provide them, at most he only supplied some military rations.

However, now that the 5,000 soldiers and horses had left, when they marched, they all brought a lot of military rations, and they left almost without any supplies from Wang Rui. Now, Liu Yi didn't even open his mouth, but just told him that only 3,000 soldiers and horses had been formed, that is to say, the most weapons and armor that Liu Yi could ask him for now was only 3,000 sets, and the military rations could only be the food of these 3,000 people. Suddenly, this Wang Rui felt that Liu Yi was really a little cute, compared to the insatiable greed of those who came from the palace, this Liu Yi was really much cute.

Well, it should be said that it is Liu Yi's good character. In fact, it's not that Liu Yi doesn't want to ask for more, it's just that Liu Yi feels that it is not appropriate for him to make the movement too big, two or three thousand soldiers and horses, not too much, not much, but a lot, in fact, a lot. Compared with more than 100,000 displaced people, 3,000 soldiers and horses are not too many, compared to those eunuchs or the Yuan family who unite and send two or three thousand people at every turn, six or seven thousand people to attack themselves is not much. However, compared to a state and county, or relative to Liu Yi, a mere river protector, three thousand men and horses are already too much. You must know that Nanyang is too guarded by Qin Jie, and he only commands two or three thousand soldiers and horses, and the battle can increase to five or six thousand. According to this troop strength, Liu Yi can only be on a par with a county Taishou.

However, it is two or three thousand people, and Liu Yi feels that it is just right. First of all, he does not have many soldiers and horses, and he will not be too vigilant in these places, and he can let himself develop. Second, there were two or three thousand soldiers and horses, which was enough for Liu Yi to deal with the water thieves in the area of Dòng Ting Lake. Thirdly, it can also make this Jingzhou Thorn Shi able to bring out the weapons and equipment a little more refreshingly, and the military rations will also be given happily.

This is not? Wang Rui hurriedly smiled and said, "The prince and the prince, those homeless soldiers, I'm afraid they don't have weapons and armor yet, right?" In this way, in order to support the cause of the crown prince and the prince to suppress bandits, the Jiangling official office will give the prince and the prince 3,000 soldiers and armor plus weapons, in addition, the grain and grass for these 3,000 people, the official will provide them once a month, and give them a full month's salary at a time, how about it? ”

"Okay, then the lower official will thank Lord Thorn Shi, I believe that with the support of the adults, the water thieves in Jingzhou will soon be able to be cleared and pacified, and the people of Jingzhou will be peaceful."

"The prince is polite, these are also things within the official's duty."

"In addition, there are some things that I would like to ask Lord Thorn Shi to help me with." Liu Yi waited until he was about to get the official weapons and military salaries, grain and grass, and then said.

Wang Rui planned to vomit blood, but now it is only less than one-third of the plan, which makes him feel very good, with this matter in front, he also understands a little that this Liu Yi may be a sincere person, and he will not ask him for things with his mouth, so he also said very cheerfully: "Although the prince and the prince said bluntly, as long as the official can do it, he will definitely not stand idly." ”

"Assassin Shi Dayi, that's the case, those more than 100,000 homeless people, although they have Taiwei Yuan Kui to help them for the time being, but, I estimate, he will soon stop helping them, and let these more than 100,000 people who arrived in Dòng Tinghu Xinzhou fend for themselves. However, it was Liu's idea to take those homeless people into place and send them to this dòng courting lake, and no matter what, I can't see that they can't survive in this dòng ting lake. ”

"This is natural, how to say, these displaced people come to the territory under the jurisdiction of the official, that is also the people under the rule of the official, the population of Jingzhou is relatively large, but the natural disasters in recent years**, now it has become a lot of depression. In particular, in the western part of Jingzhou, due to the rapid decline in population, many fields have been abandoned. Haha, now that there is suddenly more than 100,000 people supplemented, I'm afraid it can be regarded as the political achievement of this palace. Wang Rui wanted to prove to Liu Yi that he had not really done nothing in Jingzhou over the years, and he also knew the situation in Jingzhou counties. He said: "Let them settle down in the Xinzhou area, tidy up the fields, and it is estimated that they can also grow some crops, and it is not difficult to survive, right?" So, not only the crown prince and the prince, but also the official as the assassin of Jingzhou, can't see that they can't survive, now, have they all started to open up the wasteland and farm? ”

"Yes, that's right, Liu Yi has already asked people to help those displaced people start farming, however, there are still some substantive difficulties, for example, the lack of necessary tools for farming, as well as ploughing cattle, mules and horses, I don't know, can Lord Thorn Shi have a way to solve these problems for those displaced people? I believe that those displaced people will be grateful for the help of Lord Jī Shi. At this point, Liu Yi also faintly saw that although Wang Rui was a little inactive, he had a kind of desperate pretentiousness to prove to others that he was very virtuous and virtuous, which may have something to do with the fact that he was originally a scribe. Therefore, Liu Yi did not ask him directly, but guided him to take out the things himself. Sometimes, it is better to ask others for it, and let them take it out themselves.

"This ...... Agricultural tools, this can be thought of, you can ask for some from the counties, but it is a little difficult to plough cattle, mules and horses. Wang Rui didn't look pretentious this time, but said sincerely: "Agricultural tools are easy to handle, as long as there are iron tools, you can let the blacksmith make them, but the livestock, the government and a boat rarely raise these, they are all common people or some rich families." However, for them, the people's cattle are only family heirlooms, and they will definitely not come, and as for the cattle and other livestock of the rich families, they will not raise more, and they will only raise them for their tenants to cultivate...... So. ”

"Then ask Lord Thorn Shi to help allocate a batch of agricultural farming tools, as for the matter of livestock, I think it's okay, at most, please ask Lord Thorn Shi to send some notices to each county town, so that if there is excess livestock in the county town, you can buy it to the government, this money ...... I'll pay. It's always okay, right? ”

"Okay, that's for the best." Wang Rui saw that Liu Yi was willing to take the initiative to buy it with money, and he didn't have to pay for it himself, so he was naturally willing to cooperate with Liu Yi.

"However, the crown prince has to know in his heart, the problem of these livestock, I'm afraid I can't buy much, after all, after all these years of famine, who has the spare energy to raise more livestock? Besides, it is not easy for these livestock to be raised, there are many thieves, there are many famines, and if there are livestock, maybe they will also provoke others to rob them, and they will not be able to raise them. ”

Liu Yi listened to what Wang Rui said, and also felt that there was some truth, sometimes, there may only be one cow or something in a village, but it is very likely that there is a cow and attract the patronage of those bandits and robbers. Bring disaster to the village. However, Liu Yi was somewhat prepared for these, and he knew that if he wanted to borrow cattle, mules and horses to speed up the increase of the cultivated area, he was afraid that he would not be able to get these livestock. Therefore, as long as Liu Yi has some livestock, then he can breed it himself in the future, and it is better to say that he is farming cattle or something, and it is better to say that he is planting some livestock.

In addition, fortunately, I now have three or several hundred war horses in my hands, which can be used as farming cattle for the time being. In Dazepo, due to the capture of a lot of Wuhuan cavalry horses, although most of them were for Gongsun Chan and other officials to leave, but some of the war horses that were a little injured, or a little inferior war horses, there were still hundreds of them left in the Dazepo base, and now, the horse farm has been built. Of course, the horse farm is not only to raise horses, cattle, mules and sheep and other livestock will also be trained, I believe that in another year or two, the Dazepo horse farm will have a certain scale, can raise their own war horses and livestock for production. It's a pity that Dazepo is a bit far away from the new base, otherwise, Liu Yi can now call a group of livestock to speed up the speed of land reclamation and planting.

Next, Liu Yi and Wang Rui discussed the issue of receiving some weapons, clothing, grain, grass and agricultural tools, as well as the issue of how to send the livestock to Dòng Tinghu Xinzhou after the government purchased it, and worked out some details.

Finally, Wang Rui asked how to eradicate water piracy and how to adopt effective methods to control the waters of the Yangtze River.

This Wang Rui, he himself does not have the ability to raise troops to exterminate the water thieves, but as the assassin of Jingzhou, he also has a plan in his heart. His thoughts, because Liu Yi was the crown prince after all, and he was the emperor's brother-in-law, it was impossible for him to stay in Jingzhou for a long time. Regardless of whether Liu Yi will be able to clear the water pirates in the waters of the Yangtze River in the end, it is estimated that it is impossible for Liu Yi to return to Beijing with Liu Yi with the soldiers and horses on hand.

Hehe, Liu Yi didn't take over because he knew that the 5,000 army sent by the imperial court wanted to kill his own life, but this Wang Rui knew that he and Liu Yi had no grudges, and now the 3,000 army of bandits formed by Liu Yi would never murder him. Therefore, he was not afraid of taking over, he thought, if Liu Yi wanted to return to Beijing at that time, would this naval army be able to get into his hands?

He also has thousands of soldiers and horses under his direct command, but in the battle with the water pirates, his sailors are almost completely wiped out, so he wants to check a ready-made army. Hehe, the official at this time, which one is not a calculating person? There is no official in the city government, and he has long been replaced by others, this Wang Rui has no other skills, but he usually acts as a good person, and he still has the ability to dredge up and down the relationship. And he acts as a good old man, but most of the time he is actually playing pig.

It's a pity that sometimes he pretends to be a pig too much, and he becomes a real pig.

Now, he is so quick and cheerful to support Liu Yi's weapons and other things, just to borrow Liu Yi's hand to create a sailor army in Jingzhou, and the soldiers and horses under his command will be under his command in the future. Moreover, now nominally, Liu Yi's Jianghu Lieutenant is his subordinate, and the army in Liu Yi's hands can also be said to be the army under his command.

Liu Yi didn't say anything now, but said more ambiguously, if Lord Assassin Shi has a place for Liu Yi in the future, he will just tell Yunyun. Coaxed Wang Rui first, and then took the promised benefits into his hands, as for the army he had formed, if he really wanted Jiāo to give him the command at that time, he probably wouldn't dare to ask for it. Hehe, let's see who the commander of the navy is, the famous Jinfan thief Gan Ning, can he suppress it, can he lead it?

After talking about the matter, the people who went to Ming to secretly arrest the fake minister from the palace had not returned, and Liu Yi estimated that it was not so fast, so he followed Wang Rui's people to the garrison post station in Jiangling City, and settled the remaining more than 100 soldiers, and Liu Yi was also invited into a mansion near the post station and a mansion for people from the palace to live temporarily.

Unlike ordinary county seats, the capitals of local prefectures and counties have special offices for those who come to visit or come to Beijing to settle down. You don't have to live in a post station or live directly in a local government office, as is the case in a general county.

The place was not bad, Liu Yi settled down, and Gan Ning came to report that the Jiangling official named Cao Yin had come to visit.

Cao Yin didn't come, and Liu Yi really almost forgot about letting him talk to him alone after the banquet. Now that he is here, Liu Yi asked Gan Ning to invite him in, and he met him in the hall of the official residence.
