Chapter 58 Wrap-up Meeting

Two days later, Zhao Min buried the intercepted 45 million Qian Gong Fu in a hidden place in Fushan, which had already been investigated, led the crowd to detour to Zhuxu County, and rushed back to Jimo day and night. The pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info had just returned to the county office, and before he had time to meet Zhang Hao and Xu Ming, he received a news that shocked him: Lu Xu rebelled!!

Zhao Min looked at Meng Hou who was reporting the news to him opposite, and was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide and didn't say anything for a long time. Meng Hou's face sank like water, and he didn't speak for a long time, and the two were relatively silent. Zhao Min really didn't know what to say, although the series of activities against Lu Xu were a strategy of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle and cutting off Lu Xu's way of life, but according to his guess, at most he was afraid of crime and absconding, because he refused to accept the form of complicity and rebellion, according to the law, it should be the crime of the Zhu clan, but I didn't expect this Lu Xu to be so bold as to dare to take risks and raise troops to rebel! And Meng Hou was a little dissatisfied with Zhao Min's unauthorized behavior: after all, Zhao Min had only been away for a few days, and there was such a big incident on Lu Xu's side, so it was natural to suspect Zhao Min, and then investigate a little about the personnel and equipment transfers in the past few days, and with Meng Hou's intelligence, he could easily guess what was happening.

When Zhao Min came back to his senses easily, he saw that Meng Hou's face was not good, and he was shocked, knowing that he had made him angry by hiding Meng Hou's affairs, so he hurriedly bowed respectfully: "Mr. is angry, Fei Min deliberately concealed Mr., but the consequences of this matter are serious, and Min does not dare to let too many people know; In addition, the opponent is strong and he is weak, if it is not a dangerous thunderous blow, he will not be able to hit the opponent hard, and he is afraid that he will suffer from it, so he will make this decision. Mr. is an old and serious person, if Mr. knows, he will not agree to Min's trip to Meng Lang, so he does not dare to tell Mr. the truth, and please punish Mr! ”

Meng Hou stared at Zhao Min for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's not that Hou doesn't want to eradicate Lu Xu's fang, I have already explained to you before, the enemy is strong and I am weak, when you wait for the opportunity to do a thunderbolt again, the king of Beihai will succeed this time, if not, won't he give him the opportunity to do it to you justifiably?" Anyway, it's come to this point, it's useless to talk about it, it's better to think about the next situation! ”

Zhao Min didn't reply, but he made Meng Hou cry and laugh again and again, and finally could only say: "Let's explain the specific situation to you first." ”

"The day before yesterday, Lu Xu suddenly closed the city, and the whole army was under martial law, and then he personally went to the altar to publish the text, because the content of the text was foul and foul, I won't say the specific text, to the effect that I am tyrannical in Daxia, so that my reputation is boring, and the people are rebellious; This unveiling is in accordance with the will of Heaven and creating benefits for all people. Lu Xu then searched the whole city, and nearly 100 families in the county were wiped out by him; Next, he officially raised the banner to rebel, and half of the officials under his command who were unwilling to follow him in rebellion were all imprisoned; He also called himself the general of Tianbao, and rewarded his ministers in a big way, and his subordinates Pingshou, Duchang, and Xiami counties also followed him to raise the banner of rebellion, claiming to have 20,000 soldiers, and stood according to the four cities, in a vain attempt to use this as a base to sweep the world. ”

Zhao Min felt ridiculous when he heard this, is this Lu Xu crazy? Even four cities dare to sweep the world with false words? The brain is caught in the crack of the door! Let's not talk about how the imperial court reacted, there are more than 10,000 standing state troops in Qingzhou Mansion alone, plus several other counties and counties, how can there be 350,000 people at random, right? Even 20,000 people dare to raise the banner and rebel? But then again, this old boy's royal ability is also counted, he has just driven him to a dead end, he will be able to pull the flag and rebel immediately, the key is that he can control the 20,000 soldiers under his command to be obedient, just rush this reaction speed and control ability, and give him a thumbs up!

Seeing Zhao Minwu thinking to himself, Meng Hou couldn't help but ask curiously: "What did the King of the North Sea do to Lu Xu to force him to make such an unwise move?" ”

Zhao Min was thinking about Lu Xu's matter, and replied casually: "It's nothing, it's nothing more than burning his silver treasury, destroying his salt fields, intercepting his tribute, and then killing his son." These actions are plans that Zhao Min has been thinking about in his mind for a month, and they often appear in his mind, and when Meng Hou asked, he blurted out inadvertently.

Meng Hou gasped after hearing this, and was stunned, pointing at Zhao Min with one hand and speechless. After a while, he spoke: "It turns out that I am only a genius of the Beihai King, but I have always been too generous and a little weak; I never thought that there was such a decisive side, but Hou looked away! ”

Zhao Min came back to his senses at this time, waved his hand again and again, and said: "Mr. misunderstood, it's just that Lu Xu bullied people too much, and Min was also bullied so much that he took a risk, not that Min meant it!" ”

How do you know that Meng Hou did not mean to blame at all: "In the past, Hou thought that the king of Beihai was kind-hearted, which was naturally a good thing for the people under his rule, but for the future development, it was inevitably a little indecisive; Seeing that the King of Beihai has such a decisive trip is really a blessing for my subordinates! ”

Zhao Min didn't bother to argue when he saw that Meng Hou had misunderstood, anyway, it couldn't be true or fake, what should he do, he didn't want to go deeper into this issue, so he turned the topic back to the right path: "What does Mr. think about Lu Xu's rebellion on our side?" How should we respond now? Uh, by the way, Lu Xu shouldn't know that I did the things mentioned above! ”

Meng Hou obviously had already thought about this, and said without hesitation: "Lu Xu's rebellion is in Beihai, and you, as the king of Beihai, naturally can't stand idly by, according to my guess, there will be a document sent soon, ordering you to go and quell the rebellion." ”

Zhao Min was taken aback: "Let me go to quell the rebellion?" ”

"That's right, that's what you want. But the king of Beihai don't have to worry too much, the counterinsurgency is not your business alone, to say that the most concerned about this matter is the Qingzhou state capital, compared with us, they are obviously much more anxious, then we just follow the main force of the counterinsurgency, take advantage of it, and let the state army gnaw the hard bones, isn't it wonderful? ”

After speaking, Meng Hou smiled, and with his handsome appearance, he was obviously a master of the world, how could he imagine that he was talking about taking advantage of him just now like a mercenary businessman? Zhao Min lowered his head and smiled secretly, these literati seem to be a virtuous, no matter how they think and act in their hearts, but their external performance is always personable and outstanding, and they really deserve to be vassal.

Now that Meng Hou made it clear that he had no worries, Zhao Min let go of his worries and felt a sense of relief. In fact, everything Zhao Min did was a risk, but he was angry at the moment, and he didn't think much about the consequences; Now that he has told Meng Houming the truth, there is no need to hide it anymore, so he simply called Shao Qi, Xu Ming and Zhang Hao together to understand the specific process of this operation. A quarter of an hour later, the five of them gathered in the living room, and since Shao Qi, Xu Ming, and Zhang Hao were the actual action leaders of the three individual action teams, the three of them took turns to tell the whole process of the action.

Looking at the three of them respectively telling about their experiences leading the team, Zhao Min suddenly had an idea in his mind: "In the previous life, every time the company completed a single project, it would conduct a summary meeting, no matter whether the project succeeded or failed, it could be studied and analyzed from the project, affirm the achievements, find out the problems, draw lessons learned, and summarize the rules, so as to replicate the successful experience in the next project and avoid the content of mistakes." Why can't I replicate this method on this plane? ”

Since he thought that it would be better to try it now, Zhao Min didn't wait for the three of them to finish speaking, and suddenly said: "Tan Zhi, as the head of the Duchang operation, do you think this action is worth improving or improving?" ”

At this time, Xu Ming had just finished telling all the stories of his trip to Duchang, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Zhao Min's words, although he was a little confused, but he had to obey the lord's order, so he had to scratch the back of his head and smile innocently: "Actually, there is nothing to say, the actions are quite successful, there are three hundred and seven people when I go, and three hundred and seven people when I come back; If there is any shortcoming, I remember seeing a large number of salt farmers along the coast of Duchang, estimated at no less than 5,000 people, oppressed by the salt planters, and it seems that they have long had the idea of fleeing from that place; If we could have learned the news earlier, we might have been able to start a rebellion among the salt farmers, not only would we not have to spend so much energy, but we would also be able to harvest a large number of laborers, so that we could increase the number of people in our tuntian! ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Zhao Min was a little curious, but he was trying to let Xu Ming sum up his experience, but he didn't expect to trigger the story of the salt farmer, which was indeed a bit unexpected. Salt farmers may be able to do something about this in the future. However, the reason why accidents are called accidents is that they are not replicable and are not within the scope of the summary, so it is time to continue the summary. Zhao Min once again spoke and induced: "Is there still room for improvement in the preparation of operational materials and personnel?" ”

Xu Ming thought for a while and said: "I think that my water battalion is full of sailors, and most of the battles on the boat in the past were to use the gangside or jumper, in addition to the casualties in the process of fighting, the casualties caused by accidentally falling into the water when the gangside or jumping gang are not small. Therefore, I feel that I should use more long-range weapons in water combat, and it can be seen from this operation that the suppression effect of long-range weapons is quite good, so I suggest that the whole battalion be equipped with long-range weapons! Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced at Meng Hou and continued: "If the crossbow arrows are insufficient, archers can also be trained, and I suggest that bow and crossbow training be added to the future water camp exercises." ”

Zhao Min smiled dumbly, this guy really saw the wind and rudder, it seemed that he thought that there were not enough crossbows in the army, so he changed his words to bows and arrows. But it's good, that's what I want. So he said to Zhang Hao and Shao Qi: "Chen Zhi's suggestion is very good; I hope that you two will also learn from your experience and make suggestions, as he did. ”

Shao Qi and Zhang Hao glanced at each other and nodded hesitantly. So in the next two people's narrations, there was a summary of the shortcomings in the process of action from time to time, Zhao Min also induced from the side, while Meng Hou watched with interest on the side, and thought thoughtfully from time to time. In fact, once someone starts and has an exemplary role, it will be easy to proceed logically, after all, the summary meeting is also the product of the accumulation of wisdom through ancient and modern China and foreign countries for many years. People are only carrying out their own requests now, and when they taste the sweetness in the future, they may automatically and consciously continue this pattern of behavior.

However, for the time being, Zhao Min can only adopt this model of summary meeting among his descendants, but he cannot implement this model to the entire army and administrative system. Because Zhao Min is really not sure whether this method can be accepted by those arrogant soldiers, you must know that Zhao Min's popularity among the lower-level soldiers is not too high. Except for the exiles who were absorbed in Jimo in the later period, they joined the army with reverence for the King of Beihai and the gratitude for arranging the family, the other soldiers were actually more of the martial arts of Zhao Yun and other generals than the prestige of the King of Beihai, so it may be counterproductive to rashly adopt a method that the soldiers are not familiar with. As for the administrative system...... Expecting a group of literati who follow the path of Confucius and Mencius to easily accept a model that is not in the books of the sages is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree. But it doesn't matter, an excellent system will shine no matter what, and Zhao Min believes that as long as this model of the summary meeting is given time, when everyone realizes its benefits, it must be a matter of course to use it on a general scale. What's more, there is also a way to induce a push on the side?

Just when the atmosphere in the meeting room was warm and getting better, an attendant suddenly reported outside the door: "The state capital has an urgent paperwork arrived!" ”
