"The soldiers and horses led by Lord Taiwei marched quickly, and there were no mistakes along the way, Jiang really admired. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Jiang Suiyun did not answer directly, but praised Li You's army, "Xia Guan has been an official for many years, and there are not a few troops who have been sent to him, but it is the first time I have seen such a disciplined army." ”

"Lord Jiang is serious, if the warriors can't protect the people, what's the use of coming?" Li You unconsciously used the words of later generations, "This official led the army south this time to protect the people of Lingnan from the invasion of the Southern Barbarians, how could they let them harass the people along the road?" If so, what is the difference between them and the Nanban? ”

"If a warrior can't protect the people, what's the use of coming?" Jiang Suiyun repeated Li You's words, fell into deep thought, and only after a long time did he get up and bow to the end, "My lord's words are deeply benevolent, Jiang really admires it; Jiang had also thought about the usefulness of the army to the country many times before, and today he was suddenly surprised when he heard what Lord Taiwei said; In the country, the warriors know the rogue bandits and protect the safety of one party; Garrisoning the border passes, keeping the enemy out of the country, and keeping the people of the Central Plains from barbarians is what a warrior should do. ”

"That's right, these soldiers are all worshiped by the people, and if they can't give back to the people, then the people should be resentful." He hadn't seen the soldiers who would have participated in the disaster relief in the future, otherwise he would have been even more surprised, right? Li You still can't make the soldiers under his command reach the level of the soldiers of the next generation, but it is still possible to ask them not to harass the people, but it is this most basic thing that has already surprised Jiang Suiyun.

"It is a blessing for the people of Lingnan to have Lord Taiwei lead such an army to the south this time. The lower officials have already prepared food and grass, medicine to eliminate miasma, local guides and other personnel and materials needed for the expedition to the Southern Barbarians, which will be sent to the army tomorrow. Jiang Suiyun was not unprepared, but he had already prepared all the cooperation work that the local personnel should do, and after explaining to Li You the amount of food, the use of medicine, and the background of the guide, Jiang Suiyun finally began to answer Li You's initial question, "To be honest, this time the Nanban rebellion is also inseparable from the lower officials. ”

Looking at Jiang Suiyun with a wry smile on his face, Li You was a little surprised, didn't Hei Bingtai say that he cherished the people and was deeply talented? How could such a disaster come about? However, for now, his attitude is still satisfactory to Li You, not only has he made all the preparations to welcome the army, but he is also able to face the responsibilities that he should bear, and few people in the entire Great Wei can do these two things, "Oh? Mr. Jiang might as well talk about it in detail. ”

"The subordinate obeys." Jiang Suiyun immediately sat up straight, "Xiaguan only came to Lingnan Road last year to take office, and after taking office, Xiaguan found that the local families embezzled the people's land and property, plundered the people's property, and the people of Lingnan suffered greatly; Xia Guan then summoned the heads of the Lingnan families to come to the mansion to talk, wanting to persuade them to restrain themselves. ”

"Master Jiang is afraid that he will be disappointed." Li You couldn't help but interject, it is impossible for anyone to give up what they have already received because of a few words, the Lu family in Yunzhou, Yang Jiefu and others in the court, presumably these Lingnan families are the same.

"Your Excellency is wise." Jiang Suiyun continued, "Xia Guan also understands that most of these words will be useless, and such a move is just not to be punished without telling him; Who knew that after the appointed time came, at least half of the heads of the Lingnan families could not refuse, and those who came also took care of him, and never gave the lower officials a word of accuracy, and did not take the law of the court into account. ”

Li You nodded from time to time, these wealthy families are all hands and eyes on the task of reaching the sky, presumably they naturally know that Jiang Suiyun is not treated by the imperial court, and he has no feared backer behind him, so what is there to be afraid of? If he can turn a blind eye like the previous ones, then they will not make it difficult for Jiang Suiyun, and there will definitely be a generous heart for the three festivals and two birthdays, and the income on weekdays will not be able to share with him; But now that Jiang Suiyun is clearly going to get along with them, how can these people give him a good face?

"Since then, the lower officials have also lost their hearts to these people, and they have begun to malgovern the yamen everywhere, laid off some officials who have colluded with them, and re-recruited reliable people, and there has been some improvement in the yamen in a few months." Jiang Suiyun was not stunned, he first cleaned up the interior before he began to attack these families, "After disposing of a few small families, returning the land they took to the people, and punishing several children of the distant branches, some people complained that the Yongzhou historians had encroached on the people's fertile land and killed the four members of the bitter master's family. ”

"Lord Jiang is really cautious." There is nothing wrong with Jiang Suiyun's actions, but compared to that historian, he didn't give in so easily, right?

"Then the lower official is still negligent." Jiang Suiyun smiled bitterly, "Xia Guan originally thought that the Shi family would at most hold on to Wu Bao and not come out, or hand over a few substitutes for the dead ghosts to take refuge for a while, and then write to the court to impeach Xia Guan afterwards; Unexpectedly, they directly lured the Nanban to invade the territory of Lingnan, and the soldiers and horses led by the lower officials were caught off guard and were defeated by the Nanban, and only half of them survived; And the historian even threw all the responsibility for the Nanban invasion on the head of the lower officials, saying that it was the lower officials who led the troops south to make the Nanban mistakenly think that the imperial court was going to suppress them, so the Nanban had to take the initiative to fight back; And preached everywhere that only by putting the lower officials in prison would the Nanban retreat. ”

"Yongzhou is remote, and these people are becoming more and more bold." Li You quickly filtered Jiang Suiyun's words, as far as the meaning of his words was concerned, it was precisely because he had severely suppressed the major families in Lingnan since he took office, no, it couldn't even be called suppression, it was just to let them spit out what they shouldn't get, but this ushered in a huge backlash from the Lingnan family, and the Yongzhou historians did not hesitate to collude with foreign enemies to enter the country, and also wanted to remove Jiang Suiyun from power.

Of course, this is just Jiang Suiyun's words, although it sounds extremely credible, but the truth may not be exactly the same as what he said, but in the suppression of the family, Li You and Jiang Suiyun's interests are completely identical, and Li You, who has just improved his political ability, realizes that this is a good opportunity to clear the major families under the rule of King Fu.

"These wealthy families dare to be so bold, and after the official defeats the Nanban, he will definitely give them some powerful looks." Li You said indignantly. (To be continued.) )
