Chapter 66: Li Banghua takes office

Cheng Zhidun read for a full half a quarter of an hour before he finished reading the generals above the rank of Qianzong.

This time, there are 20 generals above the rank of Guangqian, two general soldiers, and two deputy general soldiers.

Qian Dayou stood in the hall and was uneasy in his heart, he didn't expect that the big handsome would give himself such a big official.

The position of deputy commander of the second battalion, as the commander of the righteous army, of course, it is impossible for the commander of the second battalion to stare at the second battalion every day, and the actual head of the second battalion is him, the deputy commander-in-chief.

With such a great power, it is impossible for Qian Dayou not to be excited.

In the past, he was only under the jurisdiction of a few officials in Fenyi County, and he couldn't give orders out of Fenyi County, but now, he has become the chief general in command of 10,000 righteous troops.

After Cheng Zhidun finished reading, he closed the list and said to the generals: "After the generals return to the camp, the positions of the hundred households under the thousands of generals of each army will be promoted by the flag officer, the flag officer will be promoted by the chief, and the commander will be promoted to the army chief. ”

A group of new Qian generals couldn't help but smile after hearing this, this is because the marshal has given them the right to appoint low-level officers.

"Thank you, Dashuai!" The generals were delighted.

This time, Mo Qian only promoted the previous officers at the level of 100 households to the level of General Qian, and promoted General Qian to the position of general.

As for the vacant positions of the hundred households below, it is natural to let the flag officers below take over.

After fighting for more than half a year, the team is getting bigger and bigger, and if you can't promote the brothers, it will hit the enthusiasm of the people below.

Mo Qian would not be naΓ―ve to think that these brothers below would selflessly contribute their own strength to his rebellion, and nothing in this world could escape the word power.

These brothers who fight the world with him, if they can't give them enough equal treatment, people won't be willing to work for you.

After the sealing of the general, Mo Qian asked Cheng Zhidun to write down the letter of appointment, and personally signed it, and then stamped his newly engraved seal of the marshal of the righteous army.

After sealing the generals, Mo Qian was not in a hurry to seal the civil ministers, and the number of his current civil officials was still too small.

Except for a few magistrates who surrendered to him before who had experience as officials, the rest are a group of talented dukes, and now they are still engaged in spring planting with farmers in the fields.

However, Li Banghua's entry gave Mo Qian a lot of confidence.

After the sealing of the generals, the next step is to discuss the next move of the rebels.

Mo Qian asked Li Banghua at the head of the head: "Li Gong, now that our army is strong, I want to divide the army into two routes, one to lead the troops to attack Linjiang, first occupy Linjiang Mansion, and the other way to the south to attack Tai and Wan'an counties, what does Li Gong think?" ”

Li Banghua nodded after hearing this, he said: "Good, our army has won a big victory, if the central and western Jiangxi regions are in a no-man's land, Taihe already has an army of 4,000, if the lord is not at ease, he can send another 3,000 troops to support, and then order the general army Lu Zhao, do not rush to attack the city, first train the army."

Now is the time for spring ploughing, the lord can send a civil official to sit in Luling, help the people in Ji'an to plant in spring, and customize the tax policy, so that the army has grain and grass available when the summer grain is harvested. ”

"What Li Gong said is exactly what I want, if this is the case, this position of Ji'an prefect will be held by Li Gong, okay?"

Li Banghua didn't expect this melon baby to give him such a big position all of a sudden.

Now the territory of the rebel army is only two prefectures, and he has already taken refuge in half of the country, and this surprise came a little too suddenly.

"My new person will ascend to a high position, I'm afraid it's not good, right?"

"What's wrong, Li Gongde is highly respected, but he is a dignified soldier from the Ministry of Justice, and he is the second rank of the dynasty, and he comes to be the prefect of my anti-thief government, and the younger generation still thinks that it is overkill for Li Gong, but at present, the territory of the righteous army is small, and there are not many civilian officials available to me, so I can only wronged Li Gong first!"

Li Banghua couldn't help but be moved to almost tears when he heard this, he got up and gave a deep salute and said: "Even so, dare not obey your fate!" ”

Mo Qian got up and grabbed Li Banghua's hand and said: "Okay, then it's hard Li Gong, you still have to work hard after the New Year, Li Gong will go south with the army tomorrow and enter Fucheng, remember, after you take office, you have to take care of your body, take care of yourself!" ”

Li Banghua looked at Mo Qian's sincere eyes, his eyes couldn't help but be slightly wet, he nodded vigorously, everything was silent.

Early in the morning of the second day, Yi Dayong led his first brigade of volunteers to the south by boat, and sent Li Banghua to Luling, the capital of Fucheng.

Li Banghua is highly respected in Ji'an Mansion, and there are countless disciples, and there is no one in Luling who does not know him Li Shangshu.

Giving Li Banghua a position as a prefect will undoubtedly play a huge positive role, because this will make the children of Ganzhong understand a truth, that is, the former military department has surrendered to thieves, and they have also become anti-thief officials, so they are nothing to show off their talents.

The second-class officials of the court have all surrendered to thieves, and these showmen who don't even have an official body are considered birds!

Sure enough, as soon as Li Banghua arrived in Luling, the Ji'an scholars who received the news flocked to congratulate him.

However, if someone congratulates him, naturally someone slanders and abuses him.

Some scholars pointed at Li Banghua's nose and scolded him for burying the loess to his neck, but he was still late in the morning, and he also became the prefect of the anti-thief regime.

Li Banghua didn't pay much attention to these people, he had 500 elite soldiers sent to him by Mo Qian, these 500 people were Mo Qian was afraid that it would be inconvenient for him to carry out government affairs in Luling, so he used them to protect his personal safety.

Li Banghua didn't care about these people who insulted him, but just received those Xiucai who came to take refuge.

Ji'an Mansion is the place with the most scholars in Jiangxi, and I don't know how many Xiucai Gong there are in Bailuzhou Academy.

When Mo Qian occupied the city, he sent troops to take care of the Bailuzhou Academy, and he locked up these talented men in the academy, providing food and drink every day, but he didn't let them out.

After Ji'an stabilized, this group of scholars was released and returned home, and it was only after the Xiucai dukes returned home that they learned that Mo Thief had defeated the 10,000 officials and troops of the imperial court, and now the strength was so huge that no one could stop it in Jiangxi.

This time, the talents are not calm, they study hard, for what, in order to be able to go to high school in one fell swoop and become officials in the future.

Now that my hometown is occupied by anti-thieves, it has become a problem to go to the provincial capital to participate in the township test.

Within two days, the news of Li Banghua's surrender to Pangu reached Luling, and the talented princes were even more explosive.

Li Banghua is a model for scholars in Ji'an Mansion, not to mention his high morality, he also served as a military secretary in the imperial court, everyone thought that even Li Gong had surrendered to thieves, so what should they do with this group of talents?

The talented princes were panicked for a while, and some people said that they would go to the provincial capital to report it, saying that Li Banghua had rebelled against thieves.

Some people say that even Li Gong has surrendered to thieves, presumably there must be something outstanding about the anti-Wang Mowen, and since the thief army captured Luling, it did not harass the people of Luling, but attacked the landlords and squires and returned the land to the people.

The talented princes were divided into two factions, and the poor ones in the family supported Li Banghua, they said that even Li Banghua had surrendered to thieves, and they were willing to follow Li Gong's example.

And those landlords and squires are different, their homes have been looted by thieves, not to mention the money and food in the family, and even the land has been forcibly taken away and distributed to the people.

However, this group of people is in the minority in numbers, after all, not every child of a squire and landlord is a material for studying, but the son of a peasant from an ordinary family reads more.

As soon as the news of Li Banghua's arrival in Luling spread, Xiucai Gong went to the dock to greet him and expressed his willingness to serve the new master.

Li Banghua was worried that there was no one under his hands after the arrival of the prefect, and when he saw the gang of talents at the wharf, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Benevolent government has won the hearts of the people, and it seems that Xiaoyou's policy is very popular with the people!" ”

Li Banghua stayed in the government office on the same day, and met with a group of talented men from Bailuzhou Academy, as well as a few masters who had taken several imperial examinations at home and did not reach high school.

These people come for only one purpose, and that is to ask an official to do it!

Now that the official mansion of Ji'an Mansion has been swept away by the rebels, and the officials of the county and county are empty, everyone knows that no matter who sits in the world, they must rely on their group of scholars to manage it.

Li Banghua can sit in the position of the prefect of Ji'an, so it should not be a problem for them to seek a prefect.

But things greatly surprised everyone, as soon as Li Banghua arrived at the government, he took the lead in taking out the appointment letters one by one and reading the list.

"I hereby appoint, Su He is the county governor of Luling, Su Ji is the county of Jishui, and Su He is the county of Yongxinzhi...."

After Li Banghua finished reading the list, all the talents in Ji'an realized that the list they read just now was full of names they didn't know.

Hu Qinglin got up and asked, "Gong Li, these people just now are not from our Ji'an!" ”

Li Banghua nodded and said: "They are indeed not from our Ji'an, they are from Yuanzhou, they are all from Xiucai, and soon after the incident of the handsome, they took refuge in the handsome." ”

"A group of talents, how can they be county governors?" Someone asked unhappily.

"Why can't Xiucai be the magistrate? These few of them all started from the position of the mayor of the town, worked in the fields, knew the grains, knew the agricultural affairs, and the marshal said, no matter who came to take refuge, he would do it for the official, but no matter whether he was a person or a showman, he could only start from the mayor, who did a good job in the position of the mayor of the town, in order to be eligible to be promoted to the magistrate, and several of them were outstanding people in the position of the town.

You and others are all smart people, you read poetry and books on weekdays, if you can't even manage a town, then how can you manage a county? ”

A group of talented people bowed their heads in shame when they were said.

Li Banghua looked at this group of scholars in his hometown and said: "If you want to work, you can come to me to sign up, and after passing the assessment, you can get the position of mayor of the town, if you don't want to do it, go home, study hard, if you want to go to the provincial capital, go to Beijing, I won't stop you!" ”
