Volume III. Chapter 18. On the way back to Beijing (above).

The faint hint of the outer mansion of the study of Chuanti. [Reading Network] and Zhang Maozong's suddenness, feeling that it was still more and more unfathomable, on the other side, in the study, Xiao Mo was discussing other general things with Chu Da.

Chu Da was originally a martial arts idiot, and in addition to practicing martial arts, he had always been less interested in other things. And these days, with Xiao Mo's side, but also loyal, when Xiao Mo wanted to go to the Xianbei camp of the grassland coalition alone, Cao Fei, who was also a guard, showed fear on his face and had many excuses, but Chu Da did not hesitate too much to go with Xiao Mo, which shows Chu Da's loyalty to Xiao Mo.

And from then on, Xiao Mo was also completely relieved of Chu Da, and many confidential matters were also handed over to Chu Da for handling.

At this time, Chu Da had just returned from handling a confidential matter for Xiao Mo, but there was a hint of anger on his always calm face.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Chu Da's expression, Xiao Mo guessed something in his heart. Asked with a smile.

can

In addition to being Xiao Mo's bodyguard, Chu Da has also taught Xiao Mo some self-preservation martial arts these days, which is half of Xiao Mo. Master, and he was originally a person in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't have too many rules, but he replied angrily to Xiao Mo's inquiry: "My lord." Those ruffians "simply can't be reused!!" ”

Fan Xiang controls the secret camp under Xiao Momen, and according to the previous plan, he has been committed to breaking into the three sects and nine streams in the capital these days to form a perfect intelligence network. Provide convenience for Xiao Mo's future actions.

It's just the core of the three sects and nine streams, it has always been a gang, if you want to control these lower nine streams, you must first control some gang forces, but although Fan Xiang has a lot of spy intelligence talents, but the force is not outstanding, although Fan Xiang has been thinking of a way, but it is too difficult to develop the force in the dark camp without attracting attention, even if you can occasionally recruit some wandering swordsmen and warriors, the number is too small, and loyalty is not guaranteed, so Fan Xiang has mentioned it to Xiao Mo more than once, I hope that Xiao Mo will find a way to recruit some reliable warriors for him to expand the power of the dark camp.

After the battle of Shangyuan City, Xiao Mo thought that in the army of Shangyuan City, there were many sergeants who practiced martial arts since childhood. In the army, he was accustomed to having a military formation, which was exactly what Fan Xiang's secret camp needed, so he asked Zhao Ying to help, and selected some people with official positions below the rank of junior lieutenant among these people, secretly assembled in one place, and took off their military membership in advance. I want to take it for my own use.

The status of the sergeants of the Chu Dynasty was low, and taking off their military status was a relief for the vast majority of sergeants, and Xiao Mo was not afraid of the dissatisfaction of these sergeants. Maybe they will be grateful to Xiao Mo for this.

What's more, the treatment of the dark camp is also much higher than the salary of ordinary sergeants.

And after these sergeants who were accustomed to martial arts were secretly assembled. Xiao Mo didn't plan to receive it in person, after all, his status was different from what he used to be, and with Xiao Mo's current prestige status in the Shangyuan City Army, if he wanted to accept someone for his own use, it was already safe to send a messenger, so he just sent Chu Da.

And at this moment, the "riffraff" that Chu Da said was unbearable was these sergeants. β€β€γ€οΌŒγ€‚

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Mo looked at Chu Da indignantly. Asked.

Chu Da Leng snorted and said, "These guys are all some soldiers, and there is no slightest rule. Although I have a lot of respect for you and am willing to serve you, I am very difficult to deal with, and I don't want outsiders to discipline you at all."

Looking at Chu Da's expression, Xiao Mo knew that it must be these soldiers who set up some difficulties for Chu Da.

But it's no wonder that Chuda is cold by nature and doesn't know how to get along with others, because of his own martial arts. is even more arrogant, and encounters those ruffians. It's strange not to have some accidents.

Speaking of which, the work of subduing these ruffians. In fact, it is better and more stable to hand over to Deng Shangquan. However, Xiao Mo's side is inseparable from Di Shangquan. In desperation, he had to reluctantly go to Chuda.

Seeing that Chu Da's expression became more and more angry during his conversation, Xiao Moran said, "You shot at them?" ”

Chu Da nodded, "Snorted: "These guys have average martial arts, and their temper is not everyone was beaten by me, but they are still unruly, and they are actually going to use some ninth-rate means to deal with me, if it weren't for my alertness." But they will suffer at the hands of these ruffians. ”

Xiao Mo nodded with a smile and asked, "Then are they convinced of you now?" ”

A hint of pride flashed on Chuda's face, and he replied, "I fought with them for three days in a row, and I hit all of them every day, so after three days, they are already convinced." ”

Xiao Mo nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Seeing Xiao Mo's expression, Chu Da was slightly stunned and asked, "My lord, do you already know the situation of those soldiers?" ”

Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "Although I don't know, I can probably guess it." ”

Seeing Chu Da's puzzled expression, Xiao Mo explained: "In my Great Chu army, although the high-level military positions are arranged unfairly, the low-level military positions below the eighth rank have always been inhabited by capable people, and these sergeants have practiced martial arts since they were young, and they are skilled in swords and guns, and their physical strength is far beyond that of ordinary sergeants, but they have a mouth; This year. Most of them can only serve as the lowest-level lieutenants. Even the lowest-ranking lieutenants can't take on it, because they have their own problems.

Hearing Xiao Mo say this, Chu Da couldn't help but be stunned again, and asked, "In that case, why do you want to take these ruffians for your own use, my lord?" My lord, don't look at them to convince me now, but in the future, I will join the dark camp and deal with Fan Xiang and the others. But they may not be convinced, and they will only do bad things in the future

After a pause, Chuda continued, "You want me to say. My lord, you should choose a helper among the middle and middle lieutenants in the army, I have seen those captains, their martial arts are no worse than these riffraff, and some of them are even much better, and they are much more obedient.

Hearing Chu Da's suggestion, Xiao Mo couldn't help but smile and said, "You can rest assured about this, if Fan Xiang can't even clean up these soldiers, I won't hand over the dark camp to him." As for the middle-level lieutenants and military attachΓ©s you mentioned, they are indeed more obedient and useful, but first, it is a bit of a big deal to let them join the dark camp, after the battle of Shangyuan City, these people have their own merits, and they themselves are not necessarily willing to condescend on the day of promotion, and secondly, they themselves are already considered to be in the officialdom, and they may have already had contact with various factions, so I don't feel at ease when I use them. ”

After listening to Xiao Mo's words, Chu Da nodded as if he didn't understand, but he didn't complain about anything anymore, he was a simple warrior in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't know anything about such partisanship and intrigue, and he didn't bother to understand it.

After seeing that Chuda didn't say anything more. After Xiao Mo only learned the details of subduing the group of sergeants, he instructed Chuda to contact the dark camp, and after taking the group of sergeants away, he continued to write the recitals.

Xiao Mo has been writing these twists and turns for three whole days, although he has finished writing, he is still not satisfied, but he is revising them carefully at the moment.

At this time, Xiao Mo wrote a lot of excerpts, and a whole table was filled, including excerpts to Emperor Chu Ling to explain the future policies of all ethnic groups in the grassland, excerpts on how to cultivate and live in the fallen land of the north in the future, and excerpts on how to improve the combat effectiveness of the Chu army in the future.

These excerpts should not have been written by him, it was the matter of Wang Han and Zhang Qian and the Eight Sages of the King.

However, Emperor Chu Ling has too much trust in Xiao Mo, and the peace talks with the four tribes of the grassland have just set the tone, and Emperor Chu Ling's secret instructions have been sent to Xiao Mo, asking Xiao Mo to write an excerpt according to these various things, and report it to him on the day of his return, but it is bitter Xiao Mo, these days have been thinking about how to deal with Emperor Chu Ling's question, although combined with the insights of later generations, he has put forward a lot of useful suggestions in the excerpt, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that many common methods in later generations are too radical for this era, No matter how much Emperor Chu Ling favored him, I am afraid that under the opposition of the Manchu Dynasty, he would not be able to adopt it, so he revised and changed countless additions and decreases, but he was still not satisfied.

For example, Emperor Chu Ling's question on how to improve the combat effectiveness of the Chu army, in Xiao Mo's view, the first solution is undoubtedly to abandon the military household system and the literati supervision system, but it is conceivable that this is a big contradiction.

Another example is the question of how to cultivate in the future in the fallen land in the north, in Xiao Mo's view, encouraging merchants to use the lead, revise the local tax rate, and the treasury to support the construction of Yunyun, which is undoubtedly a good policy, but in the Chu Dynasty, it is unheard of.

It can be said that in order to write these excerpts, Xiao Mo really put a lot of effort into it, and he felt that it was even more headache than the battle of Shangyuan City of the prison army.

But what gave Xiao Mo the most headache was not these excerpts, but the other two excerpts.

One is to ask for merit.

It seems that as long as you fill in everyone's name, there will be a happy scene after that, but it is not.

stone

Although there is no rule on the number of people in this excerpt, there are unspoken rules in the past dynasties, at least, you can't fill the entire excerpt with people's names, right?

What's more, in the excerpts, there are countless civil and military officials, who is ranked first and who is ranked last, is also a science.

The most important thing is that in the process of making contributions, it is also necessary to compromise the interests of various factions.

Although Xiao Mo has meritorious service in holding on to Shangyuan City, could it be that Zhang Xusheng has no merit in subduing the lost land behind enemy lines? Could it be that Wang Han's presiding over the peace talks with the various ethnic groups in Caoji was in vain? The Eight Sage Kings destroyed the foundation of the grassland in vain?

This is another wrestling of interests of various factions.

All this really made Xiao Mo work hard.

And another excerpt that Xiao Mo found difficult to do, but few people could think of it.

That's Xiao Mo's guilty fold!!

Than: Well, the fifth more today. Tomorrow is still the top five.
