He Zhen seemed to understand Ling Jingyang's thoughts, and said to Ling Jingyang: "Governor, most of these people are adjutant generals, generals, and they are all low-level officers in front of them, and most of their subordinates are also scoundrels, so adults can be dismissed as much as they want." ”

"Those who are not suitable for being soldiers will be dismissed and go home, and the officers above the general and below the garrison will be assigned to the various ministries, and the senior generals will be sent to the imperial court, so that they will be given a way to live."

He Zhen looked at it, there were only seven or eight generals above the garrison, and he thought that although there was nothing wrong with Ling Jingyang doing this, it was sending strength to Du Yinxi and Jin Sheng.

He said kindly: "Governor, I also asked the generals of Ji'an and Nan'an to go to Congshan Pass before, but now that I think about it, we have to build a base camp in Ganzhou Mansion, why don't we send these people to Ganzhou Mansion and let them contribute to our army in Ganzhou Mansion?" ”

This reminded Ling Jingyang and realized He Zhen's kindness, but he firmly believed that Gu Yinxi and Jin Sheng were human beings and would not do dirty things, so he still insisted on his own opinion and asked his subordinates to send this group of generals to Congshan Pass.

Ling Jingyang spent half a month to turn the entire Jiangxi into the territory of the Hongguang Imperial Court, and also began a drastic military reorganization in Nanchang City, and a large number of soldiers who were not suitable for being soldiers were ordered to retire.

As a result, there were 30,000 rabble in Nanchang City, 24,000 soldiers were not suitable for being soldiers, and there were other garrison troops in various places, almost all of them were a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, Ling Jingyang wrote to the imperial court, requesting the dismissal of a large number of troops with weak combat effectiveness, and Du Yinxi and Jin Sheng also agreed very much, and sent 500,000 taels of silver to Ling Jingyang.

Ling Jingyang used the 500,000 taels of silver to dismiss the old army, recruit young and strong troops, and distribute five taels of silver to each of the dismissed soldiers, and distribute land in various places for resettlement.

The troops that were still able to fight were scattered to all the armies, and Ling Jingyang thought that he had done a good job, but Li Dingguo reported to him that the dismissed troops did not go to the county seat where the land was assigned, but gathered in the prefectures and counties near Nanchang City, as if they wanted to re-raise the troops.

This made Ling Jingyang feel a little incredible, and Li Dingguo also told him that among the 30,000 armed forces in Nanchang City, a group of senior generals were mixed with the soldiers and sent home, and he had let people get involved

When it came to the demobilized team, this was also the first time he could get information about the regrouping of these armed forces.

This group of careerists made Ling Jingyang move to kill in his heart, and kindly gave them a way to live, but this group of people just couldn't let go of their power, so they had to gather troops again.

His cheeks twitched, and he ordered Li Dingguo to exterminate this group of people, Li Dingguo led the elite troops, extinguished this group of careerists with a thunderous force, and beheaded the organizers of the re-gathering of troops to show the public, so that the dismissed soldiers were willing to return to the place where they were assigned to the fields to live.

At the same time, Ling Jingyang personally went to Congshan Pass to report the good news to Du Yinxi and Jin Sheng, and could send officials to all parts of Jiangxi to integrate Jiangxi's apprentices, population, and resources, but he also asked to set up Ganzhou Mansion as the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, so that he could build a Yakai Mansion in Ganzhou Mansion.

He did not wait for the agreement between Yinxi and Jinsheng, and ordered all the troops and horses to assemble in Ganzhou Mansion, and ordered Zhou Yuan, who stayed in Ningguo Mansion, to lead Ningguofu's troops to withdraw to Ganzhou Mansion and settle down in Ganzhou City, which showed that he was going to operate in Ganzhou Mansion.

At the same time, the court officials also entered all parts of Jiangxi, and the prefectures and counties of Jiangxi were re-transformed into the territory governed by the imperial court, and the first order of plugging Yinxi was to reduce taxes, he learned to listen to Jingyang in Changsha Mansion, and forcibly taxed the vassal kings around the country, and the vassal kings cried one after another, but they were ordered by the plugging Yinxi to enter the court as a threat, and had to send millions of silver and grain and grass to the imperial court.

Emperor Hongguang turned a blind eye to this, many vassal kings came to Congshan Pass to cry, and he was ordered to expel them, if they didn't leave, they would eat and live with him in Congshan Pass, which frightened these vassal kings and clans who came to cry, and they all returned to the fiefdom in disgrace, and let the household officials collect taxes in the fiefdom.

After this operation, the feudal kings from all over the country offered nine million silver to the imperial court, which was only the feudal kings of Jiangxi and Huguang, and nine million silver was enough for the Hongguang imperial court to support hundreds of thousands of troops, and with this silver, Duyinxi could compete with the Dashun army, the Great Western Army, and the Qing army for the hearts of the people.

He ordered the localities to reduce the tax burden,

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The abolition of the three salaries and the reduction of the previous tax burden by two-thirds made the people everywhere excited and encouraged to support the imperial court.

Ling Jingyang rebuilt the Governor's Mansion in Ganzhou Mansion, and ordered the three troops and horses in Fengyang Mansion, Taiping Mansion, and Luzhou Mansion to prepare for the battle against the Fusang people.

In order to improve combat readiness, Ling Jingyang asked Wang Mu to bring silver to Guangdong, and went to Guangdong to visit the local officials to see if he could build a bridge with the red-haired devils, buy weapons from the red-haired devils, and enhance the strength of the troops.

Wang Mu and Mi Shengguang were escorted by 1,000 infantry, from Dingnan County, Ganzhou Prefecture, into Guangdong, as soon as they entered Huizhou Prefecture, Guangdong, they were blocked by the Ming army of Huizhou Prefecture, Wang Mu thought that he was ordered by the imperial court to enter Guangdong to visit the governor of Guangdong.

At this time, the power of Guangdong was held by the university scholar Su Guansheng, who was quite ambitious and not satisfied with the rule of the Hongguang court.

When the Hongguang court was ravaged by the Qing army, he and a group of civil and military ministers withdrew to Fujian to support the Tang king to ascend the throne, but who would have thought that the Hongguang court survived again, not only survived, but also received the support of other forces, Su Guansheng was dissatisfied with the Longwu court being controlled by the Zheng family, so he asked to eat Guangdong, hoping to serve as the governor in Guangdong.

Zheng Zhilong saw that he was not pleasing to the eye, but he could not kill him, so he sent him to Guangdong as the governor, after Su Guansheng came to Guangdong, he formed a gang and expanded his private power, and all the forces in Guangdong saw that someone came forward, and gathered near Su Guansheng, Su Guansheng bought a large number of pirates and forest thieves, and gathered an army of tens of thousands of people.

When Ling Jingyang gained a firm foothold in Jiangxi, a large number of frustrated politicians gathered around him in Guangdong, and a group of people gathered around him to conspire, such as the Qing army marching south to defeat the Hongguang court and the Longwu court, and immediately supported the vassal king to ascend to the throne.

In order to satisfy his inner desire for power, Su Guansheng made Guangdong into a miasma, and Qu Shiyun in Guangxi next door was quite dissatisfied, so He Tengjiao was recruited to attack Luodingzhou in Guangdong from Wuzhou Mansion, Qu Shiyun's move was to intimidate Su Guansheng and let him stop in Guangdong, lest the Qing army had not yet hit, and Guangdong would become a battlefield of civil war.
