"Good things to do." Zheng Kezang's face was uncertain, and Gu Tongshan, the left waiter of the household department and the director of the Yingtian Experience Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, said coldly. "If it weren't for the report of the Military Lawyer's Department, Lone would still be in the valley now, okay, it's really good, it's only been ten months, and Lone's order won't leave Nanjing City!"

In the face of Zheng Kezang's thunderous anger, Gu Tongshan shouted in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the non-ministers dare to neglect the king's orders, but the Yingtian Division is short of manpower, and all the manpower has been exhausted just by clearing and confiscating the land in Nanzhili and Fujian, so he has to slow down in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places." ”

"It's nothing more than an old excuse for demoting officials and serving yin and violating them." Zheng Kezhang was not so easy to fool, he looked at Gu Tongshan's face coldly. "Let's just put it at that, why didn't Nan Zhili and the deputy general distribute the cleared land to the soldiers who joined the army, do you still want to say that the list of rewards for the trial of the lawsuit has not been prepared."

Regarding Zheng Kezang's questioning, Gu Tongshan replied in a good manner: "The lord doesn't know, although the land is in the name of the gentry, but whether it is Nanzhili or Fujian, the field bones and the field skin are not the same thing. ”

Looking at Zheng Kezang's extremely gloomy face, Gu Tongshan hurriedly explained: "The minister thinks that the lifeline of the domain in Nanzhili, eastern Zhejiang, northern Zhejiang, and Fujian is not suitable to give land to the soldiers and generals, or let the farming people redeem it on the spot, and the money and grain sold can make up for the lack of military resources, as for the rewards of the soldiers, or Jiangxi, or Jianghuai." ”

"I'm afraid that after Jiangxi is cleaned up and confiscated, Gu Qing will still say that it is better to redeem it on the spot." Listening to Zheng Kezang's heart-wrenching words, Gu Tongshan's expression froze, but what caught him off guard was Zheng Kezang's next words. "Well, since Gu Qing is so willing to think about the people, let's go to Jiangxi to be a governor."

"Minister," according to the system of the Wuding Dynasty, the governor of a province is the highest civil official sent by the central government in the local area, and his status is not below the official and the squire, but now that the army is prosperous, the governor is actually the highest logistics officer in a place, and he bears the heavy responsibility of the grain platform. "Minister, minister to the king's will."

Looking at the back of the dejected Gu Tongshan, Zheng Kezhang ordered to the waiter standing aside: "Rumor the trial of the lawsuit, Deng Lincai, together with Zheng Yingping and Ke Ping, will push the officials of the camp field division, and then strictly order the camp field division to distribute all the confiscated land within the year. ”

Because of the consideration that collecting and paying on behalf of the soldiers will form an invisible interest group, which will cause all kinds of troubles when the retired soldiers receive the land in the future, Zheng Kezhang took precautions and ordered: "The matter of allocating the land awarded to the sergeants should be included in the examination category, and it should not be made into a manipulation of silverfish traitors for profit, and the Military Law Department should have the right to supervise and verify this?"

"Your Majesty, this is the Ordnance Division's Shangjuan Shilu Iron Ore Mining in Qiongzhou and the Iron Ore Exploration Expenses in Taipingfu." Liu Chongxi, the head of the household department and the head of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, had just seen his colleague's depressed appearance, so he became a little cautious in his words at this moment. "The minister thought that iron smelting required coke, and Shilu Iron Mine could borrow coal from Beihe, but Taipingfu Iron Mine did not have this convenience."

"What do you mean to temporarily put aside the exploration of iron ore in Taiping Mansion?" Zheng Kezhang interrupted the other party's words, and then thought for a while. "Anyway, the expenses are very large nowadays, and it is better to save one or two or two." Speaking of this, Zheng Kezhang suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up. "It is said that there is coal in Yuanzhou, Jiangxi."

Liu Chongxi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, even so, it is too far away from the Taiping Mansion. ”

"yes, yes, that's what loneliness says." Zheng Kezhang sighed regretfully, not only Han Yeping won Huainan, but the iron ore in Ma'anshan may not be able to be developed immediately, in the final analysis, it is still the inconvenience of transportation, but in this way, the importance of Hongji Coal Mine and Shilu Iron Mine is highlighted. "Let the Ministry of Rites immediately send an envoy to Beihe, asking Zheng Zhu to pay tribute and ensure the safety of the transportation of Hongji Coal Mine." Of course, the cultural attack needs Wu Wei, so Zheng Kezhang arranged it at the same time. "Let the General Staff Department dispatch a sailor to guard the envoys, if Lord Zheng is not interested, then don't be polite"

According to the system of the Qing Dynasty, the garrison general was the highest commander of the flag soldiers of a province or several provinces, and those who were stationed in the same province as the governor, if they were in the same place, were led by the general, although the real power was not as good as that of the governor, but the status was higher than that of the governor. Among the garrison generals set up by the Qing court, the time of Jingzhou generals was actually not early, but in view of the fact that Jingzhou is located in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and is a necessary place for Yunnan, Guizhou, Ba, and Shu to pass through, so after the rebellion of the three feudatories was quelled in the 22nd year of Kangxi, the Council of Ministers of the Council of Parliamentarians made a decision: "Yunnan has been restored, and its Huguang Jingzhou and Shaanxi Hanzhong should be garrisoned." Jingzhou should have one Manchurian general and two deputy commanders." Emperor Kangxi established the post of general of Jingzhou garrison in February of the 22nd year of Kangxi (1683 AD). So far, Jingzhou, a Manchurian fortress isolated in the hinterland of China, where the Eight Banners are stationed, "has the potential of tigers and leopards in the mountains", "if there is nothing to do, it can control the shape of shì, and the sprout of treachery can be eliminated; If there is something to do and raise troops to help, you can win according to the water 6. ”

In the Wuding period, in commanding the green battalions of the Qing army in Huguang and Biyuan to resist the attack of the Ming and Zheng troops, the Jingzhou garrison of more than 4,000 people really waved a great effect. Jingzhou general Shanahai personally out of the horse, once participated in the pacification of the three feudatories and the battle of Yaksa, Shanahai, can be regarded as a veteran of the Eight Banners Army, the command is very old, although because the Wuchang green battalion suddenly reversed and caught off guard, but he still immediately led the troops to the east to repel Zhu Qi's command of the Ming green battalion to attack An6, De'an, Xiangyang, Jingzhou and other places, and once entered Hanyang to threaten Wuchang, if it was not for the timely arrival of the Zheng army from Jiangxi, I am afraid that the Qing army has recovered Wuchang, and the situation in central and southern China will also change.

"Brother Bomei," looking at the rolling Yangtze River in front of him, the Manchurian veteran with armor looked a little sad. "The food and salary have been delayed for three months, if we don't get the military rations, don't say that the army will go east to recover Wuchang, I'm afraid it will be a big problem to keep western Hubei."

"Old general, now that Jiangnan has fallen, Huguang has become a battlefield again, the granary of the world is going to be two out of three, relying on the support of Sichuan alone, it is also difficult for Lord Folun to do it." Wu Yan, who was the governor of Hubei and Hunan at the time, also sighed, compared to Zheng Junhong's Gongzhu Department, which could transport grain from Jiangxi, the Qing army in Hubei could only look at the Three Gorges and Bashan and sigh. "Please also ask the general to appease more, bear with me, I think the food from Yu Province will arrive soon."

Shanahai shook his head: "In addition to supplying the grain from Henan, Shanxi, and Shandong, it must also be used for the defense of the Jianghuai frontline, and it is a drop in the bucket if it is transported to Hubei." ”

"Originally, I didn't expect to rely on the support of Yu Province," Wu Yan also smiled bitterly. "As long as the gap is filled in a short time, it will be enough to support the arrival of food in the middle of the river."

"That's all I can say, but when will the food arrive?" Shanahai asked a little uneasy. "Although the old man has some prestige, it has been too long, and he may not be able to suppress it."

"It is reported that 100,000 stone rice noodles have arrived in Xinyang Mansion, as long as they pass the three passes of Yiyang, it will only be ten days and half a month."

"Please also ask Brother Bomei to supervise more." Shanahai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then put forward a request, to which Wu Yan repeatedly assured. "In addition, the sea rebellion has been continuously invested in large ships on the river, and once even traced back to the Jingjiang River, if these gunboats cannot be solved, I am afraid that the official army will repeat the mistakes of Cao Cao in the past even if they immediately march westward." Shanahai said without hesitation. "Brother Bomei should know, my Manchurian Eight Banners can't do it in water battles."

"This official has already ordered people to rush to make warships in the Han River and other places, but I am afraid that it is not as good as confronting the gunboats of the sea rebellion." Wu Yan responded with some lack of confidence. "It is better to use the length of the official army to control the shortcomings of the sea adversity, avoid the big river and not compete with the sea adversity."

Shanahai opened his mouth and was about to say something, when suddenly several riders hurried towards the position of the two, so he stood on his heels and waited, and soon a Goshha turned over and dismounted, and reported to him and Wu Yan in a hurry: "My lord, Lord Wu, I just received a report from the palace that Lord Folun has moved to the right of the Ministry of Rites, and the new governor of Sichuan is Lord Wu He, the governor of Shaanxi. ”

Although Wu He is also a Manchurian, but the adjustment of the feudal officials at this time still makes Shanahai and Wu Yan's faces change greatly, and it is necessary to know that when the grain hoarded in Kuimen will be transported to Huguang is a big question mark, which naturally makes the two people who know the priorities feel bad. However, to be able to achieve the current position, Shanahai and Wu Yan are both very powerful city governments, and they naturally know that Kangxi's intention in such a dispatch is nothing more than to secretly demote Fu Lun Mingsheng, who has an unstable position in the farce of the crown prince's succession. But it was precisely because they knew that they did not dare to wade into this troubled water.

After being speechless, Shanahai finally spoke first: "Taiwan, this batch of food is related to the comfort of the army, and there is no room for mistakes, and I also ask Brother Bomei to find a way to ask for everything." ”

"Please rest assured, old general." Wu Yan nodded heavily. "This official will go to Yichang and contact Sichuanzhong nearby."

"Then thank you for making the table." Shana Hai thanked him, and then asked in an inquiring tone. "Brother Bomei, can you ask the Biyuan side for some food to come over for emergency, if you want to come, Lord Sang Esang will not die without help."

"It is said that the remote side has recently expanded 12 battalions, and there is also a shortage of food." Hunan is not as good as Hubei, Hubei and Sichuan and Henan support, but Hunan does not get the support of Guangxi and Yunnan, which are also in the war, so it is expected that Sang is just a fate for fish. "Let's ask Henan to help me first"
