In the Nanchang Governor's Yamen, Mo Qian was discussing the future development direction with Cao Guoqi, Cheng Zhidun, Li Banghua and Wang Bingzhong.

Mo Qian took the lead in speaking and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that my righteous army occupies Nanchang City, then Lu Xiangsheng is now stolen by us, presumably at this moment he must be furious in Luzhou's heart, although Nanchang City is high and deep, but the goal is too obvious."

I plan to recruit another 30,000 troops from the two prefectures of Linjiang and Ji'an, and these 30,000 troops will be selected from the previously trained peasant soldiers, what do you think? ”

Li Banghua, who has experience in the army, got up and said: "Lord, the expansion of the army of 30,000 is too many, I am afraid that our logistics will not be able to keep up, although we have a bumper harvest last year, and the lord has also taken Ruifeng Cang, but our army already has 20,000 horses, and now the army is expanded by 30,000, and the army has suddenly increased to 50,000, I am afraid that we will not continue to have food and grass."

It is better to expand the army by 20,000 first, and then send orders to all prefectures, counties, and towns, asking all townships and villages to continue to intensify the training of peasants and soldiers.

In addition, if we immediately implement the policy of equalizing fields in Nanchang, distribute the fields to the local people, and then train peasant soldiers in Nanchang and Ruizhou, we will have another 100,000 fresh troops in less than a year and a half, and then we will have 200,000 reserve forces.

When the time is ripe, the lord can expand the army when the farm is slack, and he can pull out an army of 100,000 at any time, not to mention that the imperial court will recruit a large army to come to conquer, I am afraid that the surrounding provinces of Jiangxi will have to be afraid of us, and the governors and governors of the provinces will be unable to sleep at night, and their hearts will be terrified! ”

Cheng Zhidun, who was in charge of logistics, also stood up at this time, and he arched his hand and said: "Lord, what Gong Li said is that our territory is expanding too fast, and my logistics force is a little unable to keep up."

This two-way attack, if it weren't for the rapid attack of the two commanders, I am afraid that the logistics would have to pay a lot of manpower and material resources.

The top priority is to quickly stabilize the situation in Nanchang, although Lu Xiangsheng is in Luzhou, but once he learns that we occupy his Nanchang, he will inevitably lead his troops to turn back and counterattack, and if we fail to solve the problems in Nanchang City, I am afraid that there will be changes.

However, if the army is expanded by 30,000, the logistics are really unaffordable, and adding 20,000 horses is already the limit, please forgive me. ”

After listening to the opinions of the two, Mo Qian suddenly had a number in his heart.

He said: "Since this is the case, then expand the army by another 20,000, Li Banghua, you go back to Ji'an, raise 15,000 men and horses, urge the department, you go back to Linjiang Mansion, raise 5,000 men and horses, within half a month, these 20,000 horses must be raised!" ”

"Yes!"

The two took over the task and retreated to their positions.

After arranging the military affairs, Mo Qian looked at Cao Guoqi again, and said: "Cao Guoqi, don't do the position of the prefect of Yuanzhou first, I will let Wang Zhongyi jump up this burden first."

You immediately send someone to me to all the counties and townships of Nanchang, except for the two counties of Ningzhou and Wuning, which have not been captured, the rest of the counties must immediately implement the Juntian policy.

As for Jinxian, I will send General Lu to command the army to attack, and after Jinxian captures, you will send people to implement the policy, is there a problem? ”

Cao Guoqi has been following Mo Qian for a year and a half, and he is already familiar with how to implement the policy.

This time Mo Qian entered Nanchang, he was the first to take him away, and now he is in charge of Nanchang, it is obvious that the power in his hands is heavy again.

Cao Guoqi's heart is very clear, Mo Qian values his ability, but also his loyalty.

The reason why I say this is because Cao Guoqi himself is from a big family.

He is a high-ranking person in Ruizhou, a family of eunuchs, his grandfather was born in Jinshi, and the most famous person in the family for three generations is a lifter.

Since entering the official career, their family property has accumulated more and more, and after nearly 80 years of development, they have long been a high-ranking family.

Although Chen Yi of Shangkochi County heard that Cao Guoqi had surrendered to the anti-thief and gave advice to the anti-thief, he did not dare to attack Cao Guoqi's family.

The reason why he didn't dare to start was mainly because Yuan Zhou was too close to Shanggao, if he really killed Cao Guoqi's family, he would have to be killed by Cao Guoqi himself.

In the officialdom, what is particular about harmony is a mess, Chen Yi is timid by nature, and he is not very capable, and there is a thief in a big family in the county, so he can only turn a blind eye and pretend not to know.

After capturing Shanggao, Mo Qian's Juntian Ce unfolded in Shanggao very naturally.

Cao Guoqi's father knew that his son was a high-ranking official in the rebel army, and when the rebel soldiers went to collect their family's land, Cao's father resisted desperately, and even moved out Cao Guoqi's name and did not allow the rebels to collect the land.

As soon as the soldiers of the righteous army heard Cao Guoqi's name, they immediately did not dare to move, and immediately reported the matter to their superiors.

In the end, this matter reached the ears of the new Kochi County, and he did not dare to engage in favoritism, but he was afraid of offending Cao Guoqi, so he directly told Cao Guoqi about it.

As soon as Cao Guoqi, who was in Yuanzhou, heard this, he hurried back to his hometown in Shanggao without saying a word, and when he returned home, he first pleaded guilty to his father, and then personally handed over the title deed of the field in front of the whole family.

After this incident, no matter how many officials in the righteous army did, they would not dare to engage in favoritism, and when Mo Qian heard about this, he began to pay more attention to Cao Guoqi in his heart.

This kind of person who can do something to his own family is the loyal and good official he needs.

This time when he was stationed in Nanchang, Mo Qian's first thought was to hand over the position of Nanchang Prefect to Cao Guoqi to sit on.

After Cao Guoqi accepted Mo Qian's appointment, he was also a little shocked in his heart.

Nanchang prefect, where the marshal is located, according to this trend, when the lord sits firmly in the world, then he will be Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang by the lord's side.

Even if it can't be the same as these two, it is at least a character at the level of Li Shanchang.

"Don't worry, your subordinates will definitely implement the Juntian policy to the letter!"

After the meeting was dismissed, Cao Guoqi ordered people to post notices to the people at the seven gates of the city and at the gates of each yamen, telling the people their origins and explaining the policies of the rebels.

Mo Qian has been fighting in Jiangxi for a year and a half, and the people of Nanchang have long heard of Mo Qian's reputation.

During the previous battle of Xiajiang, Mo Qian released hundreds of officers and soldiers back to Nanchang, and these officers hid at home and did not dare to come out after returning to Nanchang.

When the soldiers returned to their hometowns, they roamed the countryside every day, sometimes asking them how they had come back, and at first they said that they had escaped, but when they could not hide it later, they had to honestly say that they had been released.

If the battle is lost, the government will definitely hold them accountable, and the officers are not fools, so how can they not know the truth of self-preservation.

They hid at home and did not report to the government, because Mo Qian's power was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhang Puwei of Guangxin Mansion was in turmoil, so they never put their minds on their group of deserters.

In addition, Mo Qian had a precedent of releasing prisoners before, and the officials of Nanchang County did not have time to catch these released prisoners, so they could only let them move freely.

As soon as these deserters saw that the government did not care about them, they no longer worried, they took off their armor, picked up hoes, and became tenant farmers for the landlord with peace of mind.

After a long time, there were captives who couldn't control their mouths, and Mo Qian's benevolence and righteousness were spread to the ears of the people of Nanchang.

Now that King Mo is really here, and his subordinates have not committed any crimes, this makes the people can't help but believe a little more in the rumors.

After entering Nanchang, Mo Qian immediately began to organize a mission team in Nanchang to preach the policy of the righteous army in the city, and also recruited scholars from Nanchang to join the team.

Nanchang City is the capital of Jiangxi, and there are a lot of scholars, and the talented people in the academy are a handful.

At first, these Xiucai dukes were still worried at home, and the thieves would come to their homes with knives, rape and plunder them first, and then brutally kill them.

But after waiting for two whole days, none of the soldiers of the anti-thieves broke into their homes, but some soldiers laid down their weapons, picked up flat poles, and chopped wood and carried water for those old people with inconvenient legs and feet and living in difficulty.

After this operation, the talents and lifters in Nanchang were also confused.

You say it's a bunch of anti-thieves? Who believes?

Even the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have never done such a thing, right?

The talented men were a little uneasy at that time, and some scholars who knew the suffering of the people immediately went to the Marshal's Mansion to sign up for the righteous army.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the plaque of the Nanchang Governor's Yamen has been removed by Mo Qian and replaced with the house number of the Marshal's Mansion.

As soon as the meeting ended, Mo Qian was asking Lu Zhao to attack Xianxian, when suddenly the pro-soldiers outside rushed in and reported that a group of students claiming to be Yuzhang Academy had come to sign up, saying that they wanted to join the rebel army.

When Mo Qian heard this, he didn't know how happy he was.

He hurriedly said, "Quick, let them in!" ”

More than a dozen characters dressed as scholars walked in from outside, and as soon as they saw Mo Qian, they bowed down to salute Mo Qian.

"The students have seen the king!"

Mo Qian hurriedly put his hands on his hands and said, "Everyone please sit, everyone please sit!" ”

beckoned everyone to sit down, and after some discussion, Mo Qian touched the bottom of these students.

Most of these students are from poor families in Nanchang Prefecture, and their families are not from rich families, they are all poor people.

Originally, they wanted to take the imperial examination to serve the country, but now that the world is in turmoil, Nanchang is occupied by Mo Qian again, and they didn't even have to participate in the township examination in the coming year.

If there is no township examination, it means that they can't take the exam, and if they can't pass the exam, they won't be eligible to go to the capital to take the Jinshi exam.

This is equivalent to cutting off the future of the talents.

Not only the scholars of Nanchang Mansion will not be able to participate in the imperial examination, but even the talented men of other provinces in Jiangxi will not be able to participate in the imperial examination.

Because the only place in Jiangxi that can lift people is in Nanchang, if you can't pass the test, everything is in vain, and the future is equivalent to a direct ruin.

After Mo Qian understood this in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.

Because in this way, he will have the possibility of monopolizing the scholars in the whole of Jiangxi, and pull them into the big ship of his rebellion.

After getting to know these scholars first, Mo Qian sent them away, and asked them to register their names and hometowns, and prepared to appoint them as the mayor of the town.

The career must start from the mayor!

......

The camera pulls back to Changsha.

The prefect of Changsha, Wang Qi (yu, two sounds), heard that thousands of thieves suddenly came outside the city, and he was immediately frightened.

He hurriedly summoned the officials and generals in the city to discuss the defense of the city.

Zhou Guiyong, the commander of the Changsha Wei guard, looked at the overwhelming army outside the city, and he was afraid that there were no less than seven or eight thousand people, and he suddenly couldn't jump out of a fart for a long time.

He said to Wang Qixing with a sad face: "My lord, there are only 1,000 defenders in the city, how can you resist the siege of 7,000 troops, the thieves only need to attack the south gate, and within three days, the city will be broken!" ”

When Wang Qi heard this, cold sweat flowed out of his forehead.

He grabbed Zhou Guiyong and asked, "How is this good?" How's that good? ”

Zhou Guiyong's head turned, and he suddenly heard an idea: "My lord, the Zhou family in Xiangtan has always had the habit of supporting the family, and the Zhou family is a family."

(Anti-theft below)

When Mo Qian heard this, he didn't know how happy he was.

He hurriedly said, "Quick, let them in!" ”

More than a dozen characters dressed as scholars walked in from outside, and as soon as they saw Mo Qian, they bowed down to salute Mo Qian.
