"At present, there is no problem for this point of men and horses to stabilize the current situation, but once the army of Lu Xiangsheng and Fu Zonglong comes, and it is very likely that some of the rebel troops will pass through Nanyang Mansion, there will inevitably be a conflict, so in the next year, this point of men and horses will definitely not be enough."

"Therefore, the great boss decided to start recruiting troops in Nanyang Province, recruiting new cavalry, spears, cannons, plus the 3,000 teenagers who had already been recruited among the miners and were ready to be all incorporated into the firecrackers, bringing the total number of new recruits to 9,000."

"After the recruitment of these people, they will all be placed in Nanyang Fucheng, and they will be personally trained by the First Brigade for a period of three months, and at that time, some pikemen and musketeers will be appropriately assigned to each part."

"Once there is a big war, a small number of cavalry will be left in various places for communication at the beginning, and the rest of the cavalry will all be concentrated in Nanyang Fucheng, and a mobile force with a total number of about one person will be formed near Fucheng at that time."

"This mobile force is the main force to crush the enemy in the future and encircle and suppress it again, and the infantry forces in various places are mainly defensive."

"After the construction of the ships is completed, the two fleets will be equipped with a total of 1,000 sailors, and after the training between Xinye County and Fancheng is completed, it will be assigned to Fancheng, under the unified command of Li Zhanchun, the third master, and its main task is to defeat the guerrillas of the Xiangyang Naval Division on the opposite side and rob its ships and sailors."

"Then control the Hanshui waterway from Zuoqiying to Yicheng County, Xiangyang Prefecture, and expand the scale of the sailors to 3,000 people in the next year, which is three times the scale of the current plan."

"In addition to the above-mentioned counties, Nanyang Prefecture also includes Dengzhou, Xinye, Tang County, Nanzhao County, and Yuzhou County, plus the local farmers in the above-mentioned counties, according to the seized account books of Nanyang Prefecture, there are about 100,000 peasant households, about 100,000 Ding."

"Of course, only 10% of them have their own fields, and the rest are tenants of Tang Wangfu and Luwangfu, and they are allowed to continue cultivating their previous fields, and the harvest will be paid according to 20% of the total amount as a tax."

"That's a million stones."

"At present, the old camp personnel who need our department to provide food and salaries need about 10,000 taels of salaries every year, and we have brought about 300,000 taels from Shanxi, and the seizures in various parts of Nanyang Province are roughly the same, so the salaries can only meet the needs of one year......

Speaking of which, he looked at Dragon Thirteen.

Long 13 said: "A year later, we have captured a large number of officials, including the Tang Wang, and let the Henan Political Envoy, the Yunyang Governor Yamen, and the Xiangyang Mansion send people to ransom them, and we can always harvest 120,000 taels."

"Xixia County and Xichuan County are the largest medicinal herb distribution bases in Nanyang Prefecture, and after our department took over, we continued to do business with Wang Heizi, the largest merchant here, by the way, the matter of ransom and population was also contacted by this person, in my estimation, the imperial court and the government will not be able to take out this money."

"In the end, it will fall on the big merchants, it is said that the value of this Wang Heizi is no less than that of the Fan family in Shanxi, and he can pay 100,000 taels, and the imperial court is nothing more than to give him more batches of salt from the salt pond in Anyi County, and he will not lose anything."

"Remember, as long as we hold on in the next year, everything will be easy to say, money, food, and supplies will roll in, and if we can't hold on, then say something else."

"The workshops in Neixiang County, Zhenping County, and Xinye County should be completed as soon as possible, and at present, starting from Neixiang County, wood, iron, and lead materials can be easily transported to Xinye County and Nanyang Fucheng by water, and the production of firearms, artillery, and other weapons should be completed as soon as possible after completion."

"After taking Nanyang Mansion City, we captured about 1,000 guns and some tiger squat cannons and military uniforms, but there is still a shortage of about 2,000 guns, and a large amount of gunpowder is also needed for earth-shaking thunder and explosives packs, so all kinds of workshops must hurry up to keep up."

"Continue to set up a quilt workshop in Nanyang Fucheng, and arrange for 2,000 women to work in it, mainly to make military uniforms, military boots, cloth armor, cotton armor and other things, and leather craftsmen and coppersmiths also appropriately allocate some to enter."

"After the county order of the county directly under the central government arrived, he immediately began to urge the old farmers to start preparing for spring ploughing, and the county orders of the other counties should also supervise the spring ploughing of local farmers, and at the same time preach the decree of our department, by the way, before that, a part of the grain and materials will be distributed to them."

"Big boss, do you need to re-issue the land deed?"

Long Thirteen pondered for a long time and said, "Well, since you want to enter the place with great light, everything is still in accordance with the rules, and it will be renewed

Let's draw it up, give it out, and then divide it among them as evenly as possible."

"With the new land deed, if the official army and other rebels come to attack and harass, they will surely take the initiative to defend this hard-won situation with us and others."

"All this must be done before spring ploughing! Nanyang Mansion has a complete yellow book and fish scale book, and there are a large number of small officials left, so it shouldn't be a big problem......

Li Xin said: "These people are all old officials, and they can't slip one by one, so they are afraid of waiting for Piri Yang Autumn with me."

"Don't be afraid, we are not vegetarians, Xue Zhiheng, Shang Ziyi and others have not fought with those little officials in Shanxi, the little officials everywhere are almost the same, just use the same method to deal with them, if there is really a false and wronged snake, there is no forgiveness for killing! There is no such thing as a mouthpiece or property!"

"Yes"

Long 13 looked at everyone and continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, since you have occupied such a large territory, it is impossible to use the previous method to govern it, so I have decided."

"The establishment of the Nanyang Prefecture Government, with myself concurrently serving as the prefect, Li Xin concurrently serving as the Tongzhi, Long Xiaoshi concurrently serving as the servant, Li Xin concurrently leading the affairs of iron mines, lead mines, nitrate caves and corresponding workshops, and Long Xiaoshi concurrently leading the shipyard, quilt workshop, and business affairs"..

"Since it occupies such a large place, and the population under his command is also hundreds of thousands, it is impossible to act in the previous way, so Li Xin refers to the Daming Huidian to formulate a code suitable for our department, remember, to delete the complicated and simplified, and still use the Daming Huidian before the new code is promulgated."

"Long Xiaoshi will lead our reconnaissance cavalry to do the detailed work, and allocate 100 people from the personal guard to participate in the work."

"And ......"

Long Thirteen looked around, and his eyes became solemn.

"The eight brigades have been stationed in various places, and in the future, the grain, grass, salaries, and materials needed will be summarized by the commanders of the brigades in various localities and reported to the prefecture and county yamen, and then reported to the government after the state and county yamen are summarized.

"Set up the Yuhou of the travel capital, and the governors and counties of each prefecture and county will concurrently serve as the governors and counties, and they will distribute salaries and materials, and review performance appraisals"

"If there is a disagreement between the commander and the governor/county, report to the prefect's yamen, and Li Xin will adjudicate it, and if Li Xin can't take it, he will report to us again."

"Do you have any objections?"

Everyone was stunned, but they all replied loudly, "No!"

Long Thirteen actually took out the set of Da Ming using civilian officials to contain military generals, there was no way, he thought about it, and he couldn't think of a better way.

What's more, he still hasn't said a word.

"On top of the civilian officials and military generals, I also have a small team of Long Xiaoshi, in addition to spying on the enemy's situation everywhere, they naturally also have the task of exploring the people's and official conditions in the jurisdiction."

"In that case, Long Xiaoshi, you can tell me about the hostile situation in the last four weeks."

Long Xiaoshi nodded and stood up.

Since Long Thirteen told him yesterday that he would be transferred from the military generals to the government again, he was still a little reluctant at first, but after chatting and chatting, he quickly understood Long Thirteen's intentions.

"The big boss asked me to serve as the prefect's yamen, in addition to acting civil affairs, I also have the errand of the judge, which is actually equivalent to the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei and Dongchang, as well as the heavy responsibility of checking and balancing Li Xin, who joined the gang halfway, I can't be said to be untrustworthy, I can't let him down."

"Bosses, Everyone"

Long Xiaoshi hugged his fists.

"After the defeat of the people and horses of Yunyang Mansion, there should be no movement in Huguang for a short time, and in the south of Hanshui, including Jiangnan, except for the coastal areas, the Ming Dynasty has no battalions, and it is impossible for them to select guards to come and encircle and suppress us."

"However, in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, there are still a large number of Tusi soldiers, although these Tusi soldiers are also guards soldiers, but the imperial court basically can't control them, and everything is still decided by Tusi."

"Its bravery is no less than that of the border army, and there are tens of thousands of people in total, but if you want to be transferred here, you can't do it without half a year's effort."

"Then to the east, Fu Zonglong led the original Hong Chengchou and Zhang Zongheng's men and horses against Zijin Liang, Bu Mu, etc., and now they are retreating to Runing Mansion

According to the information found by the two masters who have been stationed in Yuzhou, they have arrived in the area of Changge-Xinzheng, and it is estimated that they will enter the mountains of western Henan through Ruzhou Mansion."

"Since Chen Yongfu, the only battalion soldier in Ruzhou Prefecture, has been wiped out by our department, Zijin Liang and the others should have nothing to stop them, just take care of Fu Zonglong's chasing troops behind."

"All the generals under Fu Zonglong's jurisdiction are all defeated generals under our subordinates, and it is impossible to take care of us while pursuing Zijin Liang, and they will definitely drive Zijin Liang and others to Ruzhou Mansion."

"At that time, there will be a problem, what if Zijin Liang and the others want to pass through Nanyang Mansion? The big boss thinks that if Zijin Liang and others sincerely join our department, then everything is easy to say, if not, then treat it as an enemy!"

"At this time, Fu Zonglong can't wait for me to wait for the infighting, and he will definitely watch the battle from the sidelines, and then the fighters of our department will come."

"However, due to the fact that the power of the ministry has been greatly reduced after the attack of our department, they may not have a complete advantage over Zijin Liang and others, Zijin Liang and others arrived in the Chenliu area in February, and they are still near Changge, so it is obvious that Fu Zonglong does not have an overwhelming advantage."

"Therefore, when Zijin Liang and the others arrive at Nanyang Mansion, it is estimated that a few months will have passed, and by then the recruits we are waiting for have already been trained, and I am not afraid of them."

"Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang, Cao Cao Luo Rucai and others fled to Fengyang Mansion, and are now wandering near Mengcheng, because the Tianxiong Army, Guan Ning Army, and Mou Wenshou led by Lu Xiangsheng are very strong, and since the defeat of Liu Liangzuo, the general of Yingzhou, the imperial court has sent the deputy general Huang Degong over."

"King Chuang and the others will definitely not be able to defeat the enemy, so they have to slowly retreat to the Dabie Mountains, and then retreat to the Jingxiang Mountains through the Dabie Mountains and Tongbai Mountains, maybe they will also meet with us, but after entering the vicinity of Mengcheng, there is a water network where the water network is crisscrossed, and Lu Xiangsheng has more cavalry, so he also did not come so quickly."

"If King Chuang and the others succeed in entering the Dabie Mountains, it will not be easy for Lu Xiangsheng to succeed in encirclement and suppression, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Gao Jie, Zhang Tianlin, are all brave and good at fighting, Luo Rucai is scheming, Lu Xiangsheng is not so easy to exterminate them, it is estimated that it will be the end of the year when they arrive near Nanyang Mansion."
