Chapter 272: How about building a moat
"Zhang Tengfei, you are doing a very good job."
Li Chaosheng glanced at Zhang Tengfei and said, Zhang Tengfei was excited when he heard this, stood up and said to Li Chaosheng: "Principal Xie praises." ”
Li Chaosheng smiled and waved his hand when he heard this: "Sit, sit, sit down and talk." ”
Li Chaosheng looked at Zhang Tengfei and said, "How many militias are there in Naturalization City now?" ”
Zhang Tengfei stood up again: "Back to the principal, there are a total of 12,000 militiamen, all of whom are carefully selected and meet the recruitment regulations of our Lantian militia. ”
Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard this: "Very good, this is all your credit, you and Wang Jiayao complement each other, I am very happy." ”
"Principal Xie compliments."
Hearing this, the two immediately said excitedly, Li Chaosheng looked at the two and said with a smile: "We have taken this naturalization city, and the next thing is to govern the naturalization city and guard the naturalization city." ”
Li Chaosheng paused here and said, "In view of your excellent performance, I have decided to promote you." ”
Hearing this, the three of them glanced at each other, and their eyes were all fiery.
Li Chaosheng said with a solemn expression: "Wang Jiayao." ”
"Here."
Wang Jiayao immediately saluted, and then Li Chaosheng said; "I appoint you as the city lord of Naturalized City, in charge of all administrative matters in the city, your subordinate officials I will choose for you from the middle and middle chiefs who have performed well in Lantian, I hope you will not live up to my hard work, and govern Naturalization City well, I hope that under your governance, there will be a new name here - Plug Jiangnan."
"Yes, definitely live up to the high expectations of the principal."
Wang Jiayao said excitedly, how can a man not want to show his ambitions, make contributions, and achieve himself?
Li Chaosheng followed and looked at Zhang Tengfei: "Zhang Tengfei." ”
"Here."
Zhang Tengfei stood straight and saluted, Li Chaosheng looked at Zhang Tengfei and said: "Now I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the security of Guihua City, the militia team is renamed the police, you are the police chief, choose the one with strong combat effectiveness as the armed police, assist the troops to defend the city, and the rest can be ordinary police, in charge of maintaining law and order on the ground, and suppressing riots, especially those Mongols." ”
"Yes."
Zhang Tengfei immediately agreed, the commander-in-chief of public security, the police, feel that he has a heavy responsibility.
Zhang Tengfei glanced at Wang Jiayao excitedly, but found that Wang Jiayao looked at Ma Tengyun, who was a little lost, and instantly reflected, to say that the biggest hero of Naturalization City should be Ma Tengyun, but now Wang Jiayao has become the lord of Naturalized City, and he has the right to security in Naturalized City, and then Naturalization City still has the right to garrison, but the right to garrison is a matter of the army, and there can be no matter of Ma Tengyun.
In other words, Ma Tengyun has the greatest credit, but he does not have his share of the big cake of Naturalization City.
Thinking of this, both of them were surprised that with the wisdom of the principal, they would not snub Ma Tengyun, the biggest hero, At this time, Li Chaosheng looked at Ma Tengyun and smiled: "Very lost? ”
"Nope."
Ma Tengyun said sharply, Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "There are three main aspects that need to be paid attention to in the Naturalization City, the first is the revenge of the Tartars, but at this time, the matter of the army, the second is to appease the people's livelihood, this is the matter of the mayor, you are not good at it, the third is public security, this is the matter of the militia, you can't do it, so the Naturalization City doesn't need you, can you understand?" ”
"Yes."
Ma Tengyun bowed his head and said, Li Chaosheng said with a straight expression: "But Naturalization City doesn't need you, Lantian needs it, Ma Tengyun." ”
"Here."
Ma Tengyun was upright, and Li Chaosheng said: "Now appoint you as the vice minister of the Ministry of Commerce of Lantian and be in charge of Lantian foreign trade, do you have any opinions?" ”
"No, no."
Ma Tengyun said excitedly, Ma Tengyun knows this place in the Ministry of Commerce, and it is also the place that Ma Tengyun has always longed for, business, sure enough, business is the place where he can show his strength, Li Chaosheng looked at Ma Tengyun at this time and said: "You kid will do a good job for me, Lao Tzu's money bag can be held in your hands." ”
Ma Tengyun heard this and said, "Don't worry, principal, if I don't do a good job, I'll come to see you." ”
Li Chaosheng smiled: "It's pretty much the same, but what use do I want your head to do, the pot is too big that night, haha......"
Hearing this, Ma Tengyun, Wang Jiayao, and Zhang Tengfei all laughed, and at this moment, there was a sound of stepping on the stairs on the steps, and then Li Chaohu took Qian Twelve, Wang Guixiang, Shi Dalei and Li Debao, and Luo Heita walked up: "Commander." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng turned his head to look at these six people, these six people were the military forces of this trip to Naturalized City, two division commanders, plus a cavalry brigade commander.
Li Chaosheng said: "Millet." ”
Gu Zi immediately understood that he would move the stool, and at this time, Ma Tengyun, Wang Jiayao, and Zhang Tengfei wanted to avoid it, Li Chaosheng waved his hand and said: "You don't have to evade, this time I am talking about the military situation of Naturalization City, and it doesn't hurt for you as the host." ”
After Li Chaosheng finished speaking, he looked at Li Chaohu, and Li Chaohu said: "All the Tartars in the city have been wiped out, and the Mongols have also been imprisoned. ”
Li Chaosheng looked at Shi Dalei, Shi Dalei said: "After a search in the city, there are no fish that have slipped through the net, and now we are preparing for a second search, and we will conduct three carpet searches before dawn, and we will definitely not miss an enemy." ”
Li Chaosheng looked at Wang Guixiang, and Wang Guixiang said: "We have sent twenty teams of scouts out to inquire about the surrounding intelligence, and report as soon as there is a trace of the Manchu team." ”
Li Chaosheng nodded, the naturalization city was taken down, but if you want to defend it, you have to waste a lot of effort, after all, this is a tiger's mouth to pull teeth, this naturalization city was originally built by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, during this period used a lot of manpower and material resources, the Manchu Qing Dynasty used almost half of the silver money robbed from the Ming Dynasty last time to build this city, and the cost during this period was huge.
Although Li Chaosheng also invested one million taels in the naturalization city for three years, this money was used to build a city wall in the naturalization city at most, and the rest was the silver of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the loss of the naturalization city was a huge blow to the Manchu Qing Dynasty whether it was economic, political, or military.
And after being hit so hard, how could the Manchus give up, they would definitely go crazy and attack the Naturalization City, and want to take the Naturalization City back, this battle is destined to be tragic.
Li Chaosheng was ready to accept the wrath of the Manchus, and was even ready to fight a protracted war, and this time there were no other new artillery pieces that brought in 500 pieces, almost emptying out all the new artillery in Lantian.
This is where Li Chaosheng's confidence in garrisoning Guihua City lies, and the two divisions brought by Li Chaosheng also brought new muskets, and the new muskets have been improved, that is, the scope has been improved to improve the accuracy of shooting.
However, it is a pity that there is still no breakthrough in the primer that Li Chaosheng asked the arsenal to research, and Li Chaosheng knows that he is in a hurry, after all, if the primer comes out, maybe AK47 will be made in this era in the future.
Li Chaosheng thought that at this time, Li Chaohu wanted to speak and stopped, Li Chaosheng saw Li Chaohu's expression and said, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Chaohu said: "That group of Mongolians is not very honest, a few old people want to take the lead in making trouble, kill two, and now they are much more honest, but this is only temporary, and after a long time, they are afraid of accidents, so it is better to ......."
Li Chaohu made a gesture of cutting down with his palm, the meaning was obvious, it was better to kill it directly.
When Wang Jiayao heard this, he pouted and said, "Ten thousand people." ”
Ma Tengyun also frowned, Zhang Tengfei looked as usual, Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "It is inevitable to deal with the Mongols in the fortress, and you can't blindly suppress Mongolia, you must be good at inducing them in an orderly manner, these Mongols are imprisoned first, and when they repel the attack of Jiannu, let them build a reservoir for Guihua City." ”
"Build a reservoir for the Naturalized City?"
Everyone looked confused, where can the reservoir be repaired in Naturalization City?
Li Chaosheng clearly saw their doubts, and pointed to the wall of Guihua City: "I plan to build a moat outside this city wall, which will be used to irrigate crops in peacetime and be used as fortifications in wartime, what do you think?" ”
Li Chaosheng pointed to the outside of the city wall, and when he heard this, everyone gasped, digging a moat along the city wall, this amount of work is too large, but if it is really successful, then its effect will be too great, if there is a moat in this city, then the difficulty of the enemy wanting to attack the city will be at least doubled, and the naturalization city can be greatly guarded.
But this project is too big, the cost is too much, I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses, Li Chaosheng heard this and looked at the crowd: "Don't be in a hurry with this project, just complete it in ten or eight years, and the people who work will use these Mongolians, according to the old rules of Lantian, just give them some food, and they must squeeze them with their lives in ordinary days, and squeeze all their physical strength clean, they will not have the strength to make trouble for Lao Tzu, these are such good strong laborers, but you kill them first, and send them violently." ”
Hearing this, Li Chaohu said: "The Mongols are afraid of death and refuse to work obediently, if they join forces to make trouble?" ”
Li Chaosheng said: "This is not simple, there are two steps to treat these Mongols, the first step is to force them to do it, the second step is to select managers from them in public, and the Mongols govern the Mongols, as for how to select managers, you can choose the hardest working in this group of people, or report others for being lazy, anyway, if you are loyal to us, we will promote them, let them see a hope for promotion, and don't force them into a desperate situation." ”
"In this way, there will be a class among them, and the low-level Mongolians want to make trouble, and the management of the Mongolians will be suppressed, and they can give these management Mongolians some small permissions, such as a management team of ten people, these people can not work, and they can enjoy the treatment of ordinary officials in Lantian, so that in order to protect their rights, they will suppress their peers, which is better than what we do."
Li Chaosheng said to Li Chaohu, Li Chaohu's eyes widened and said, "This, this is too ruthless." ”
Li Chaosheng sighed with emotion at this time: "Ruthless? Hehe, often the same kind is naked hatred, human beings have a special hobby for their own kind, compatriots, since ancient times. ”
Li Chaosheng sighed with emotion, and then Luo Heita said: "It's still the commander who thinks about it thoroughly, but it's better than I thought." ”
Li Chaosheng looked at Luo Heita at this time and said, "What do you want to do with these Mongols?" ”
Luo Heita scratched his head at this time and said: "I originally wanted to use the army to drive them as pawns to attack the Jianzhou Tartars, but now I want to come and go to the lower level, and the naturalization city is lonely and suspended, and I can't offend the Mongols to death, they are the best to repair the moat as coolies, I heard that slavery is also practiced in Mongolia, and the defeated are the slaves of the victors, and they have to work for the victors." ”
Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard this: "That's right. ”
Luo Heta said: "In this way, we can be regarded as acting according to Mongolian rules, they can't say that we are wrong, and they are not qualified to exclude us at that time, at least it can't be a life-and-death feud." ”
Li Chaosheng said: "It makes sense, I didn't expect you to think so far, it is worthy of praise." ”
Hearing this, Luo Heta smiled: "It's all up to the army commander to cultivate." ”
Li Chaosheng said: "Guzi, let people prepare some food, it's almost dawn this day, I've been busy all night, the big guys are hungry, notify the cooking class to cook, the whole army will rest, as for the search for the enemy, Wang Jiayao." ”
"Here."
"You go and arrange it, the 150,000 people in our Naturalization City are all our search soldiers, this day is dawn, let them get up and check if there is any abnormality around their house, if there is any abnormality, report it to the militia nearby, and report it to the army stationed nearby if the militia can't clean it up."
"Yes."
Wang Jiayao said to make arrangements, and Li Chaosheng saw this and said, "Hurry up, we'll wait for you to eat." ”
"Yes."
Saying that, Wang Jiayao found his deputy to inform the lieutenant chief, and the lieutenant governor will notify the lieutenant chief, and the lieutenant governor will notify the person in charge of each jurisdiction, and the person in charge of the jurisdiction will notify every person, so that the 150,000 people in the whole process are searchers, no matter how cunning your enemy is, it will be given in vain in front of 150,000 people, there is no way to hide, there is no way to hide.
Soon Gu Zi brought people to bring up three ovens, the stove burned charcoal, and three legs of mutton were roasted on the charcoal fire, at this time Li Chaosheng ordered: "I am the head of the first furnace, I am responsible, the second furnace, Li Chaohu is the head of the furnace, and you are responsible for the third furnace Shi Dalei, we are responsible for roasting, and give it to our brothers to eat, yes." ”
Subordinates give you your life, you barbecue meat to buy personal hearts is still a very correct operation, and can make the cohesion of his subordinates better, Li Chaosheng set an example, looking at the leaders who are busy with themselves, these subordinates are very moved, I feel that everything I do is worth it, and I am respected.
Li Chaosheng looked at the first oven of roasted lamb shank, and observed everyone's expressions by the way, Li Chaohu, Shi Dalei, Li Debao, Wang Guixiang, these old brothers were very open, and there was talk and laughter in the process of roasting, Luo Heita was fanning the fire very hard at this time, it seemed that he wanted to perform well, he always couldn't let go in front of Li Chaosheng, which may be related to the shadow of the year.
Then there are Ma Tengyun and Zhang Tengfei, two newcomers, at this time in front of a group of old leaders, they look very immature and a little restrained, Qian Twelve is even more embarrassed, the lowest of them are all brigade commanders, just one of his regiment commanders, recruit eggs, although Ma Tengyun and Zhang Tengfei are similar to themselves, but they are a couple, it is really not good, they can also chat with each other.
He was a little unable to insert it, and at this moment Li Chaosheng said: "Qian Twelve, go, bring me the oil." ”
"Yes."
