Chapter 789: Prisoner Camp
In the afternoon, five taels of off-road vehicles from the barracks rushed out of the barracks and went straight to the south, led by one of Rwan's dragons, and the four escort cars behind were guards, after all, although the war was over, there was no guarantee that there would be an ambush along the way, and after being assassinated last time, Luwan had to be cautious.
It was Dabao who was driving, Lu Wang was sitting in the co-pilot with the window open and smoking a cigarette, Xie Xinghua and a subordinate were sitting in the back seat, and he went to Lu'an on a business trip just to make a ride.
The weather in April in the south is relatively warm, and seeing that there are no people in the wilderness along the way, Lu Wang suddenly remembered one thing, "Xinghua, Luzhou and Anqing are not producing tea?" ”
"Yes" Xie Xinghua, who was in the back seat, hurriedly responded: "There are many mountains and teas here, and they are quite famous, such as Cuilan in Yuexi, Cuijian, Tianzhu Jianhao in Qianshan, Xuanyue, Xiaohua in Tongcheng, Xiaolan in Shucheng, and Jian...... in Jinhua Valley in Taihu Lake."
Listening to Xie Xinghua talk eloquently and say more than ten kinds of tea in one breath, Lu Wang's eyes widened and he couldn't help but look back and smile, "Okay, but how do you know this?" ”。
Hehe, Xie Xinghua smiled: "It's good to be lowly and good, so I studied it a little...... Now is actually the time to pick tea, but it's a pity that the war is ......"
"The war is over, you turn around and immediately revoke martial law in the war zone, resume the work and rest of the people, and at the same time inform the yamen to encourage the villagers to hurry up the tea picking, by the way, the new tea military will buy it on the spot," Lu Wang said quickly.
"Military takeover?" Xie Xinghua didn't react for a while.
"It's collected and sent directly to Hangzhou Commercial Building!" Lu Wang said lightly, and Xie Xinghua understood in seconds.
Subu Town, a town close to the mountains, has experienced an extraordinary experience during this time, first by Gao Jie Tu Village built a temporary camp, and then with Gao Jie into the mountain, it became a supply transit station outside the mountain, by the female general Qin Liangyu.
With the end of the war, a large number of prisoners were gathered here, and it was expanded into a concentration camp, holding more than 50,000 prisoners, in addition to Qin Liangyu, there was also a division led by Weng Zhiqi of the Second Army to guard the prisoners.
Due to its proximity to the mountainous area and the fact that the fighting has just subsided, although there are still two men and horses of Gao Jie and Ma Xianglin training in the mountains, the prisoner camp in Subu Town can be described as heavily defended and heavily guarded, and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will.
Although 40,000 or 50,000 captives were only supplied with gruel every day, it was not a small consumption, and with Luwang's character, he naturally did not raise people in vain, and these captives went into the mountains every day under heavy protection to cut down trees or build roads in exchange for a day's rations.
At half past three in the afternoon, Rwan's convoy drove into the town of Subu, and immediately the prisoner camp came back to life from its lifelessness, as the soul of the army, the arrival of Rwan's arrival made the soldiers in the garrison feel high, and even some of the prisoners became excited, but they quickly patted their heads vigorously, and Lao Tzu was just a captive and excited to be excited.
Of course, the most excited is Qin Liangyu, the female general, in addition to her admiration for Lu Wang herself, that is, she knows that she has reached the sky in one step this time, and the thieves in the Battle of Huoshan were wiped out in one fell swoop.
A cup of steaming fragrant tea was placed in front of Lu Wang, and the aroma was overflowing: "The prince, please use tea, this is the last day before yesterday, I personally picked and fried new tea, please taste the prince" Qin Liangyu was warmly entertained with a smile in an elegant room in an elegant courtyard.
Hey, Lu Wang couldn't help but sigh: "General Qin still has this craft" said and took a sip, which was really refreshing: "Good tea, good tea, does Director Xie know what kind of tea this is?" As he spoke, he looked at Xie Xinghua next to him.
Xie Xinghua was also full of praise for the tea in front of him, but he was dumbfounded when he heard Lu Wang ask: "I really don't know the name of this tea, could it be ......?"
"This is camellia, the last general has been picking some of it in his spare days recently", Qin Liangyu took over the topic and looked at Lu Wang: "Don't forget that the last general is from Sichuan, but it is also a place where tea is produced!" ”
"Mengding nectar, Wenjun green tea, Qingcheng snow buds, Emei bamboo leaves and green are all the best in tea......" Lu Wang opened his mouth before Xie Xinghua next to him opened his mouth, and suddenly made Lu Wang dumbfounded, this product is really ......
"Uh...... Director Xie, go and see how the work of the Ministry of Military Affairs is handled here, I have something to talk to General Qin privately" Lu Wang had to interrupt Xie Xinghua to show off his profession.
Xie Xinghua immediately shut up, and immediately remembered that the purpose of his coming to Lu'an was to check the work of the Ministry of Military Affairs here, after all, in addition to registering those thieves, he also had to deal with a lot of military retirement and enlistment.
There were only two people left in the room, Lu Wang and Qin Liangyu, and suddenly it was quiet, Lu Wang slowly tasted a cup of tea without saying a word, and Qin Liangyu also looked at him with a smile and a word.
After a long time, Lu Wang drank another cup of tea before he spoke: "General Qin went back and wrapped some tea for me to take away?" ”
"Since the prince likes it, the last general can't ask for it", Qin Liangyu was suddenly overjoyed: "By the way, Lord Wang, the tall man and the child are still in the mountains, do you want to send them to inform them?" ”
"There's no need for this, I'll go into the mountain at night and talk to them" He stood up and smiled at Qin Liangyu: "General Qin, let's go around outside and talk while walking, okay?" ”
The original buildings in the town, with the exception of a few courtyards reserved for the generals, were used for the wounded to recuperate, and the garrisons and prisoners were actually enclosed in the open space outside the town to set up some rudimentary tents.
Lu Wang and Qin Liangyu each walked slowly in the town with a few retinues, and whenever he met a patrolling soldier, he always smiled and stretched out his hand to say hello, which caused the soldiers to cry out in carnival, which was exactly the same as the feeling that fans in later generations felt when they saw their idols.
"General Qin, what are your plans for the war here?" Lu Wang stood on a street in the town and lit a cigarette for Qin Liangyu.
"The last general will follow in the footsteps of the prince, pointing to where to fight" Although Qin Liangyu is not young, he is very funny.
"It's good to leave the matter of fighting and killing to the young people, General Qin doesn't ......"
"The prince is too old to beat?"
Lu Wang was interrupted by Qin Liangyu before he finished speaking, and the female general's face was already hidden unpleasant, she was so straightforward, she changed her face when she didn't agree.
"General Qin is too worried"! Lu Wang hurriedly explained: "The Ming Dynasty is now in ruins, and the same is true for the army, such as military reform. General Qin is a sharp blade of the Ming army, and I should use this sharp blade in the mouth. As for the menial work of charging into battle, let the young people do it."
"What do you mean?" Qin Liangyu breathed a sigh of relief, but was a little puzzled.
"Sichuan, the country of abundance, but because of the difficult mountain road almost isolated from the world, regardless of geographical location or political factors are very special, there is a saying that the world is chaotic Shu first chaos, the world has been governed Shu has not been governed, it is so", Lu Wang looked at Qin Liangyu with a serious face: "I plan to hand over Sichuan to you."
"Give it to the last general?" Qin Liangyu was stunned, but he couldn't hide a trace of joy: "The prince doesn't mean to let the last general abandon the military and enter the court as an official, didn't he hear that the prince can only appoint officials in the army, this, this must be agreed by the court."
Haha, Lu Wang couldn't help laughing, he knew that Qin Liangyu wanted to be crooked, at this time, Sichuan called Sichuan Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, under the jurisdiction of thirteen prefectures, six direct subordinates, fifteen prefectures, one hundred and eleven counties, far more than the jurisdiction of later generations, and Qin Liangyu is just a representative husband of the Shizhu Xuanfu envoy, and the territory is only a corner of the stone pillar, that is, the Shizhu Tujia Autonomous County under the jurisdiction of Chongqing in later generations.
So unless I was surprised to hear that Lu Wang was going to give Sichuan to her, of course, there was a surprise, and I thought that getting a political envoy to sit would be a provincial official!
Seeing Lu Wang laughing, Qin Liangyu, who was as shrewd as Qin Liangyu, immediately knew that he had misunderstood, and his face was slightly embarrassed, "Can the prince explain it more clearly?" ”
Lu Wang immediately stopped laughing and looked serious: "Establish the Sichuan Military Region, and General Qin will be the commander of the military region and in charge of military affairs in Sichuan!" ”
"All Commanders"! Qin Liangyu was suddenly overjoyed again.
"Yes, you can also say the same" Lu Wang smiled again, the political envoy is the governor of a province, the criminal envoy is the director of the public security bureau, and the commander is the commander of the military region, which is what the Ming Dynasty called at this time.
"The last general thanked the prince", Qin Liangyu was overjoyed and bowed with his fists.
"General Qin, this is what you deserve, don't let this king down!" Lu Wang gently helped Qin Liangyu up.
"Never give up!" Qin Liangyu may have been too excited in his heart, and the corners of his mouth trembled a little when he spoke: "Lord Wang, that little ......"
"After the Ma family is loyal and good, and there is merit as a basis, this king will naturally not be treated badly" Lu Wang smiled slightly, "But the eagle has full wings, it is time to spread its wings and fly high, General Qin should look farther, a small earl and marquis will be content, if there is ambition, it is not impossible to tear the earth and seal the king!" ”
Looking at Lu Wang's faint smile, Qin Liangyu became short of breath, and clenched his fists again: "The Ma family will follow the prince in front of the saddle and behind the horse until death!" ”
Lu Wang smiled slightly, "General Qin will go with this king to visit the wounded soldiers, and there will be people from the Military Affairs Department to talk to you about the specific affairs of the establishment of the military region, and someone will be sent to assist you at that time!" As he spoke, he turned and walked towards a courtyard.
