Chapter 778: New Army

The meeting ended with an iron-fisted declaration by Prince Rui.

The relevant rectification action was presided over by Zheng Dajin, the governor of Hubei.

According to Prince Rui's request, the issue of demotion and discipline should be dealt with internally.

That is, the generals of the adjacent garrison areas are responsible for solving the problems of colleagues who refuse to come to the meeting, and the Eight Banners and Green Battalions in the nearby areas cooperate with the blockade, but do not directly participate in the operation.

First, it is necessary to give the generals who come to the meeting the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, second, to improve cohesion and loyalty, and third, to see how effective these demoted troops are.

The generals who need to enforce military discipline mainly include Song Xing, the garrison of Fangxian, Sima Yunlong, the capital of Suizhou, Guo Yikui, the garrison of Dangyang, Ma Guoquan, and Lu Xiong, the capital of Guizhou.

These men numbered nearly 2,000 men, while those with few soldiers numbered only three or four hundred.

Under the principle of slicing and blocking, as long as the action is fast enough, these people basically have no chance of stubborn resistance.

If the troops in charge of the operation cannot be cleared at the first time, the surrounding green battalions will immediately intervene.

The relevant orders have been reported to Zu Yingyuan, the governor of Huguang, and Wang Deyong, the governor of Shaanxi.

Zheng Dajin demanded that drastic measures be taken against the subordinates of the nine generals, that is, all officers should be executed, soldiers should be punished for their evil deeds, and those who were ordinary should be dismissed on the spot.

In the face of the general trend, the generals attending the meeting took the same position, expressing their obedience to the relevant arrangements of Prince Rui, resolutely obeying the leadership of Prince Rui from now on, abiding by discipline and law, and never fishing for the common people, and at the same time supervising each other to ensure regional stability and public order maintenance, and contribute to the reunification of the Huguang region.

Overall, the meeting was united.

After deploying the relevant work, Lao Zheng was ready to report to Prince Rui to see where it needed to be supplemented and where it needed special attention.

The latter pulled Governor Zheng aside, frowned slightly, and said, "Prince Rui's remarks at the meeting just now are inappropriate. ”

"Wrong?"

Lao Zheng didn't know what the Minister of the Interior meant.

Niu Lunbao said in a low voice: "The thief will vote for the court in the future, not Prince Rui, when will Prince Rui be able to represent the court?" ”

"This?"

Lao Zheng's heart tightened, and he also realized that what Prince Rui had just said at the venue was indeed a problem, and asked those who had a heart to send it back to the court and reach the emperor's ears, for fear that it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Prince Rui is still too young, I don't know the severity, you and I, as ministers of the court, still have to take on more responsibilities, and we still have to report more to the court if there is anything, otherwise if there is anything in the future, you and I are afraid that it will be difficult for you and me to take care of themselves."

Niu Lunbao's expression looked quite tasteful.

Lao Zheng will be 70 years old next year, and after fighting the Jinshi in the first year of Qianlong, he has served as a county magistrate, a prefect, a prefect, a prefect, and a politician.

I couldn't help but sigh.

There are only two generals in this dynasty, and the previous general Wang Fourteenth Master had a sad end, but I don't know what the situation of this general will be in the future.

But at this time, the important thing is to quickly quell the Huguang thief rebellion, Prince Rui's preferential treatment and appeasement method is very effective, although the quality of the thief army that came to surrender is uneven, but after all, it effectively disintegrates the rule of the thief army, hits their arrogance, and lays the foundation for the next strategic offensive.

Therefore, Prince Rui's accident at this time is similar to self-destruction of the Great Wall.

Therefore, he was a little dissatisfied with the reminder of the Minister of the Interior, and he did not think deeply of rushing to Prince Rui's office with the documents.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Prince Rui sitting there eating, and the people at the same table were the prince's personal guards.

A group of people either eat with rice bowls, or drink soup there, looking like they are not at all in rank, as if they are visiting relatives during the New Year.

"Lao Zheng, have you eaten? Come sit and eat a bite. ”

Jia Liu naturally instructed Baozhu to serve a bowl of rice to the governor.

The meals are simple, four dishes and one soup.

A bowl of braised pork, a bowl of braised large intestines, a bowl of braised herring, and a pot of spicy chicken.

The soup is green vegetable and tofu soup.

Even the vegetables and soup, according to Zhongxiang, the price here is less than 200 Wen.

Compared with the identity of the general king, it can be said to be extremely simple.

Lao Zheng couldn't fit into this kind of scene a little, and it was quite embarrassing to stand there.

Seeing this, Jia Liu was not embarrassed, the governor dropped the bowl, got up, wiped his mouth with a towel, and walked to the desk to signal Lao Zheng to sit down and talk.

"In front of the prince, how can there be a seat for the lower officials."

Lao Zheng is a typical civil official and is very well-behaved.

"In terms of identity, I am the prince, you are the governor, and you have your own dignity. In terms of the actual situation, you and I are comrades-in-arms who stir horses and spoons in the pot, if this king loses the rebellion this time, or dies on the front line, you Lao Zheng's head will not be able to protect it. ”

Jia Liu took out a bag of tea leaves from the drawer, pinched some and brewed them into the teapot, and then personally poured a bowl of tea for Zheng Dajin.

"Actually, this king doesn't say that you, Lao Zheng, should also understand, you can continue to be the governor, it was this king who spoke for you in the court."

This is the truth, Lao Zheng hurriedly bowed down and thanked Prince Rui.

"Don't thank me, if you want to thank the people, if it weren't for the people saying that you Zheng Dajin is a good official, this king has no relatives and no reason with you, and you want to protect you if you are full?"

Jia Liu smiled and handed the tea bowl to Lao Zheng, "Sit down and talk, after all, it's almost seventy, and this king can't bear to let your old man stand like this." ”

Seeing that the prince had said this, Zheng Dajin was not easy to shirk, sat down slowly, and then opened the briefcase and handed over the documents.

Jia Liu glanced at it, basically satisfied, and nodded: "Let's do this thing, catch what should be caught, kill what should be killed, and use heavy codes in troubled times." ”

After speaking, he took out his general Wang Yin from the other drawer, and covered it with a "horn".

Meetings, seals, and signatures are the favorites of this superior, and Jia Liu is no exception.

After putting away the documents stamped by Prince Rui, Zheng Dajin hesitated, but still put forward some opinions.

It's still a question of surrendering the army.

The governor of Hubei believed that even if these generals would no longer act recklessly in the future, they would be a mixture of dragons and snakes, hiding filth and dirt, and had low combat effectiveness, which was really embarrassing and useful.

We may not dare to do big illegal and criminal acts, but we will never be able to do anything like stealing chickens and touching dogs and disturbing the people.

After hearing this, Jia Liu nodded and said: "Since ancient times, the order is not good, and the reason for the collapse is also." Over time, the foundation of slack is also wasted. Tolerate the feelings, and the taboo of the military family is also... In this way, the king will issue another military order, where the brave man disturbs the village, and allow the local people to identify the brave man, complain according to the facts, or send it to the village, so as to investigate and deal with it. If anyone harbors or conceals it, the crime is increased by one degree. ”

Here, even the Eight Banners and the Green Camp are included.

Zheng Dajin immediately relieved when he heard this, the Prince Rui in front of him was as young as the Minister of the Interior Niu Lunbao said, but he was not a person who did not know the importance of it, at least he could listen to the advice, he could learn lessons, he could really think about the people, and he could also make drastic measures to rectify it, and this alone was enough to be qualified for the post of general Wang.

At this time, I saw that the young prince on the other side blamed himself a little and said: "There were many bad things in the past, and the generals and soldiers should be held responsible, and this king also has a place where he is not in place, and he should also punish himself... So let's do it, and the king will punish himself with a tenth of his money, and hand it over to the camp office, so as to set an example for the whole army. ”

"Lord Wang!"

Zheng Dajin was deeply moved, and subconsciously got up to praise Prince Rui, but was stopped by Jia Liu, and said with a consultative meaning: "Even so, it is a symptom but not a cure, so this king thinks about it and prepares to reorganize this group of surrendered troops into a new army, I don't know what old Zheng Yi will do?" ”
