Wu Shigong took down the map from the bookshelf and continued: "As for the south of Runing Mansion and the west of Guide Mansion, we will do a limited amount of cleaning. ”

"Here! Over here! Over here! Wu Shigong pointed to the map and drew a line along the border between Runing and Guide for twenty or thirty miles, "Within this line, except for the fixed passage where the displaced people took refuge with us, the rest of the displaced people will be driven away, and those who do not listen will be killed." ”

"Our Runing army seems to have a lot of numbers, but the spinning thread to be garrisoned is too long, and with this buffer zone, we can also concentrate our forces in time to fight against the invading Shaanxi bandits."

"Hadron!" Wu Shigong looked up at Xue Qiang, "Why haven't you cleaned up the gang of bandits at the head of the leopard?" ”

"Uncle! I ......" Xue Qiang hurriedly stood up and wanted to explain.

"Alright! I understand the difficulties you encounter. But you can't take your time, we're racing against time right now. Zhinong! ”

Hearing Wu Shigong's shout, Xue Zhinong also stood up. Wu Shigong instructed: "From now on, use all the connections between the mountains and rivers to explain the attitude of our Runing Army to those cottages, towns and other bandits throughout Henan. ”

"As long as anyone who dares to take in, relieve and deliver news to the leopard-headed bandits, they are enemies of our Runing army, and our Runing army will also treat them as leopard-headed bandits."

"Qiangzi, I will give you two more militia regiments and five companies of cavalry, and you must completely exterminate the leopard-headed bandits within two months. Remember, we don't take prisoners! Those who helped them, took them in, saw them and did not resist, and even resisted those who could not be kept, and the chickens and dogs did not stay. He chased them and fought a river of blood. Let all the people in Henan remember this lesson. Provoke our Runing Army. Let's get ready to meet Hades! ”

"Your Excellency, ......!" Deng Qifan couldn't help but stand up. If the consequences of Wu Shigong's actions are too serious, you must know that Wu Shigong is still guilty of meritorious service, and the impeachment chapter of "mutilating the people" at the time of the Ruzhou victory has not yet passed the impact on the Runing Army.

Wu Shigong raised his hand to stop Deng Qifan's dissuasion: "Our time is too tight, we must use the fastest time to form order." I can only use such a brutal method. Use thunderbolts to show the bodhisattva's heart. Killing so many people is just to save more people! ”

"When we're done defending, let's go off. More than 20,000 of our Runing Army hid in their hometowns and ate dry food. In order to develop, we have to take two more moves. The first step was to set up a reclamation firm. That firm is called the Jimin Reclamation Firm. ”

"The current Guide Prefecture has not implemented the three decrees, and the number of abandoned land and displaced people there is still quite large, so it is a pity to give up. Contact the Hou family of Guide Mansion and ask him to come forward to unite a group of Guide gentry and send their family members. We, the Runing Army, sent out a part of the militia and the village protection team. In addition, the miners of Ye Zhong, the superintendent army, formed this Jimin reclamation firm, and implemented three decrees without three decrees in Guide Prefecture. ”

"And here!" Wu Shigong pointed to the county seat of Kaifeng Mansion between Guide Mansion and Runing Mansion on the map, "Occupy all the abandoned land here, and let Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion all be linked." It also occupies all the abandoned land in the buffer zone. Arrange for the displaced people we have taken in, and follow the regulations of Tuntian Zhuangzi. Reclamation and the establishment of a village protection team. ”

"If there is a lord in those lands, there is no need to take care of him. What is there to let those gentry and Ye Zhong have a fight with the government in advance. In any case, the harvest before the civil unrest in Henan is quelled will belong to our Runing Army. It may be too late to plant this year, but even if we plant some grass, we can also add some horse grass and pigweed. ”

"In that reclamation firm, we can give the silver out and give it to those gentry and Ye Zhong. But the grain must belong to our Runing Army, and even if it is bought with silver, we must insist on this. And all the people must obey the arrangements of our Runing Army, especially the Zhuang Guardian Team, and they must not let others get their hands dirty. ”

"Mr. Deng, Mr. Yuan. Do you have any recommendations for the head of this reclamation firm? ”

Deng Qifan and Yuan Xingshan made eye contact, and then Deng Qifan said to Wu Shigong: "This person needs to know a little about military and civil affairs, and he must be good at dealing with others, and he must be loyal to you. It's hard to find it for a while! Let's pick and choose when we get back. ”

Wu Shigong nodded, and continued: "There is still one move to prepare. Our Runing Mansion is located in the interior, and the place to move is too small, and the road to the waterway needs to be opened. Either in the direction of Huguang or towards Fengyang Mansion. It is necessary to set up a series of Zhuangzi that lead directly to the Huai River or the Yangtze River. In this way, we can easily contact Jiangnan and leave a way for our Runing army to retreat. But now, if we want to buy the land there to set up a Zhuangzi, we can't do it, and we can only wait for the change. But Zhinong, you mountains and rivers have to take the first step! ”

"You Yamakawa Division has a lot to do today. There's something you need to contact more as well. Contact those stockades and bandits in Henan through relationships, find out the source and price of the weapons in their hands, and then ask them if they need weapons? We can sell them a little bit of Runing. ”

"Your Excellency!" , "Uncle! Deng Qifan and Xue Zhinong suddenly changed color and shouted in unison.

Wu Shigong raised his hand again to stop the two of them: "I know what you want to say. I'm afraid I'm in danger of being an enemy. But now the bandits in Henan don't take weapons from us, and their weapons also have other sources, so it is better for our Runing army to earn some silver. ”

"I will also be measured, and I will not sell them armor and firearms. Those bandits may certainly threaten us when they get their weapons, but we also have more silver to strengthen our Runing army. It is nothing more than a matter of trade-offs. ”

"Also, every one of us in the Runing Army is very precious. If we can make some deals to get those bandits to favor us a little bit, so that they don't immediately go to the Shaanxi bandits when they enter Henan again, and maintain a kind of neutrality, then there will be a lot less pressure on us. ”

"Don't persuade anymore! I've already decided on this anyway. As for the imperial court, try to be as hidden as possible. But it's not a big deal, anyway, we're ready to go it all alone. ”

…………

When the meeting was dismissed, Deng Qifan, who walked to the door, looked back at Wu Shigong, who was still meditating on his seat, and thought that his adult was simply a devil for a while, an angel for a while, and he really didn't know where he would take Ru Ningjun! (To be continued......)
