When Zheng Jinhong entered the room, he found that Zheng Xunrui's face was very grim.

"Young master, the Zheng family army has all been settled, the inside of the barracks has been sorted out, the soldiers are very satisfied, the conditions here are much better than those in Yan'an, the barracks are much larger, more than 3,000 people are stationed, and the barracks seem empty."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, the military camp in Yansui Town is indeed ready-made, it can be said that Yulin Town is full of military camps, this is originally a border town, mainly military households, and there are few people, but such a ready-made military camp will not make Zheng Xunrui happy.

"Zheng Jinhong, there are three things, you go and arrange them immediately, you must do it within a month, and you must not delay."

"The first thing, the re-establishment of the post stations in Yan'an Mansion and Yulin Town, Qingyang Prefecture, my so-called re-establishment of the post station, is not to do it according to the past model, but to create a new set of high-speed system, Yijun County, Yan'an Prefecture, which is the farthest away from Yansui Town, and Zhenning County, to which Qingyang Mansion belongs, the distance is nine hundred and twenty miles and nine hundred and fifty li respectively, anything that happens in these two places, the governor yamen must know within twenty-four hours, and anything that happens in the rest of the places must be known within twelve hours."

"This post station has a more important duty, that is, to be clear about what is happening in various places, for example, what the people are concerned about, what things are worried, including what troubles the government yamen has encountered, and the expressions of officials at all levels, etc., whether it involves the local area or the above, the post station reports the local situation three times a month, and if there is an emergency, according to the requirements within twelve hours to inspect the yamen."

"You have to personally arrange this matter, and assign competent personnel to do it, you have to remember that the personnel must be loyal and reliable, these people can't have any problems, the whole thing is directly handled by you, don't let others interfere, if there is anything to report to me directly, you can't pass on others."

"The second thing, within a month, recruit two thousand sergeants, so that the total number of soldiers of the Zheng family army reaches more than five thousand, the recruited sergeants quickly start training, as for the training matters, Yang He and others can be responsible, you focus on logistics matters, the grain and grass carried by the Zheng family army is enough, recently I heard that there are not many oats, we must do our best to procure, Yang He has set off to Hetao, contact the procurement of war horses, the military camp must be prepared, the consumption of war horses is very large, But it must also be endured. ”

"When I came to Yulin Town, I don't have to shrink my hands and feet to recruit sergeants, let go of my hands and feet, this is originally a border town, and there are sergeants everywhere, it shouldn't be a very difficult thing to select two thousand sergeants from them, the selection criteria don't need too much, you know the physical requirements, I won't say much, the key is character, it must be simple and honest, no soldier ruffian can want, no white-faced scholar can't be one, no one can endure hardship."

"The third thing is to send scouts to secretly reconnoiter the officers of the Yulin Guard Camp Fort under the jurisdiction of Yulin Town, and within half a month, find out how many border troops and how many military households there are in Yulin Town, remember, what I need is the approximate actual number, not the number reported by those officers."

"This time the investigation, there is also an important duty, is to investigate the situation of the Yulin general soldier He Yaowu, when I was in Yan'an Mansion, I heard of this He Yaowu, is the chief soldier who drinks the blood of the soldiers, and I saw the situation everywhere in Yulin along the way, which made me believe such rumors, hum, I came to Yulin, the most lacking thing is money and food, take this He Yaowu, then you can basically solve the problem."

Zheng Jinhong listened very carefully, he would never discount the tasks ordered by the young master, in the Zheng family's army, he has become a deputy marshal above a thousand people under one person, and his status is significantly higher than Yang He, which is clear to many soldiers, and it is also determined by his special status.

"Young master, my subordinates remember, my subordinates have two questions, please ask the young master."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, did not speak, he was very satisfied with Zheng Jinhong's attitude, when accepting the task, he did not do it blindly, but thought about it, and asked clearly about the unclear places, so as to ensure that many tasks could be better completed.

"The first question is related to He Yaowu, the chief soldier of Yulin, He Yaowu's fame, his subordinates have also heard about it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to investigate him, but the subordinates will complete the task, and the subordinates need to ask for instructions, that is, in the process of investigation, if He Yaowu's subordinates are involved, or even He Yaowu himself, in an emergency, can the subordinates do it."

"You can do it, I'll be responsible for the problem."

"The second question, the post stations in Yan'an and Yulin Town, Qingyang, need to still do practical things, invest a certain amount of money, so that they can be built well, especially to obtain information, it is very difficult to rely on the government, and it may be necessary to get information in the three religions and nine streams, if there is no money, I am afraid that no one is willing to do these things, and my subordinates ask for some money and food."

"Jinhong, there is no need to report in this regard, I know that expenses are needed, you have to decide for yourself, Zheng Jiajun's money and food are all under your jurisdiction, and the expenses in this regard should be listed separately, don't mix with Zheng Jiajun's expenses, so that it can be well kept secret, as for the war horses and so on, you can arrange it according to the situation, don't worry about anything."

"Yes, the subordinates understand, and the subordinates will arrange it."

"Well, the task you undertake is very heavy, let Hong Xintao assist you, Hong Xintao handles things calmly, and has strong martial arts, if he encounters any urgent things, he is fully able to deal with them, you are my most relied on subordinate, you must pay attention to safety, you must not have any accidents, if you encounter trouble, to save your own life as the first task."

"Thank you for the young master's concern, my subordinates will definitely complete the task."

Looking at Zheng Jinhong, Zheng Xunrui was a little helpless, Zheng Jinhong is a tendon, as long as he accepts the task, there will be no ambiguity, and he will not be afraid of any difficulties, Zheng Xunrui is just a little worried in this regard, if there is no person, then there is nothing.

"Jinhong, I've thought about it, whether to take Yuhuan to Yansui Town, so that you can also take care of your life, you have a lot of things to do in the future, and you need a lot of time to deal with them, and it's not okay if there is no one around to take care of you."

"The subordinates don't dare, there is no one around the young master to take care of him, and the young lady has never come, the subordinates don't dare to let Yuhuan come over, Yuhuan has already sent a letter to his subordinates, saying that he lives well at home, and has no worries about food and clothing, and requires his subordinates to be by the young master's side, do things well, and no mistakes are allowed, if they don't do well, Yuhuan will ignore his subordinates."

After hearing this, Zheng Xunrui couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Yuhuan is really good at talking, it should be said that the family is very good to Yuhuan, there are twenty taels of silver every month, and the living expenses are all the responsibility of the family, Yuhuan can save about two hundred taels of silver every year, this is not a small amount, even if it is the county leader and the lord of Jiangning County, I am afraid that I can't save so much silver in a year.

"Jinhong, you can't always look at me, the conditions here are not good, and it's very difficult, Manshan is difficult to come over, I haven't seen my family for more than a year, you and I miss it very much, in fact, during the spring break, I also want to take you back to see, after all, there is a month's time, the way back and forth is at most ten days, and you can also be at home for about twenty days, but the situation in Yan'an Mansion is too special, I can't leave, the situation is even more severe now, this year's spring break, I'm afraid I don't have time to go back. ”

When Zheng Xunrui said this, he was very emotional.

Zheng Jinhong then spoke.

"The young master is the champion of the palace test, he shouldn't have lived such a life, his subordinates are just subordinates, and he can adapt to any environment, for more than a year, the young master has worked too hard, and his subordinates see it in their eyes, they can't help much, they are very guilty, and their subordinates' original duty is to take care of the young master's life, but now they are doing other things."

"Jinhong, what you are doing now is very critical and important, after you do it, it is much more important than taking care of my diet and daily life, the environment of Yulin is more complicated, I must sort out the clue within a month, otherwise it will be troublesome, think about it, if the Weisho camp fort comes to ask for money and food, how can I deal with it, besides, this is a border town, the grassland in the north has suffered a large-scale famine, and now it is the most difficult time, in desperation, maybe I will take a risk and enter Yulin to plunder, Such a possibility must be nip in the bud, there are rogue invasions in the east and south, and there are Mongolian tribes in the steppe in the north, and the two sides are attacking at the same time, and I have three heads and six arms, and I can't deal with it. ”

"The subordinates understand, and the subordinates must do everything according to the requirements of the young master."

After Zheng Jinhong left, Hong Xintao entered the room, this time the arrangement was much simpler, Hong Xintao is the eldest of the three brothers, the most mature and stable, especially after the fight and tempering, has revealed the temperament of an officer, after listening to the task arrangement, he did not say much, said that he would complete the task, and went directly to find Zheng Jinhong.

After all the arrangements were made, Zheng Jinhong began to look at the map of Yulin Town in detail, these maps were brought by Yang Tingshu from the capital, even more detailed than the local map of Yulin Town, looking at the densely marked location of the guard camp fort, Zheng Xunrui's heart was very complicated, the original Zhu Yuanzhang, set up so many border troops here, what he thought of was to protect the security of the Ming border and prevent any changes in the Mongolian tribes.
