Chapter 799: Expedition!
"That's true." The eldest son's words show that he has a clear judgment on the domestic situation, the situation of He Chunhua, and even the traitors in Takigawa.
Within a year, there has been such growth?
"If the blow is successful and the main force of the rebels is wiped out, there is no need to worry about the remnants left in Takigawa. Daddy can send troops into the village and clear small groups of enemies from area to area, and so on until all remnants of the enemy surrender or are cleared. ”
He said in his heart, if the water bandits more than a hundred years ago dared to leave the nest and go north like today's rebels, Yuheng City would have served them in a pot a long time ago, so why bother?
He Chunhua snorted: "Your thoughts are similar to Wu Shaoyi's. ”
Wu Shaoyi was originally a general under Hong Xiangqian, who was subdued by the He family and his son on the way north to Xiazhou, and has been used by He Chunhua since then.
He was sick and could not go to war, but his knowledge was still there.
Daddy wants him to say something new? He Lingchuan smiled: "This kind of clearing is fast and slow; Slowly, according to what Wu Shaoyi and I just said. ”
"Hurry?"
"If you want to hurry, you have to cooperate with my father's governance skills." He Lingchuan pointed out the location of Jizhou on the sand table, "You are already the governor of Jizhou, and you have the final say in this land." The promulgation of tax cuts and light taxes as soon as possible and the good governance of showing favor to the people can reduce the hostility of the villagers to the officers and soldiers of the rebel party, and the progress of collecting Takigawa will be accelerated. ”
Tax cuts and light taxes, so where will the fiscal input come from? Don't worry about it, there will be a way in the future.
The low-level civilians have long been overwhelmed, and now they do not reduce their burdens and cannot truly benefit the people, and the relationship between the people and the officials is antagonistic.
"Good, good!" He Chunhua clapped his hands, "Well said." The other staff members only talked about how to fight, and they didn't think about winning the hearts of the people at all. ”
He sighed, "It would be nice if you could go with me." ”
"I also want to go, but I'm a special envoy of Rongshan, and I have to stay in the capital to monitor the whereabouts of the loan." He Lingchuan stretched out his hands helplessly, "Good steel has to be used on the blade." With this little money, you can't let people all be harmed, otherwise you won't be able to fight on the front line. ”
"That's right." If the eldest son doesn't sit in the capital and review the use of the money, then these millions of taels are not gone? He Chunhua is also very aware of this, "We must give priority to the supply of front-line military materials." It is also not easy for the two generals Ke and Zhao, and they can't be shortaged. ”
Wu Di even died on the Northwest Front, and now it is Zhao Pan who takes his place and partners with Ke Jihai.
These people have done their best for the country, and He Chunhua is also very admired.
"It's a pity, there is a small gap between General Zhao and General Ke, and the cooperation is not as good as the previous Wu Ke."
He Lingchuan looked at the sand table again.
At that time, the water bandits were strong and strong to seek wealth, and there was the support of Bega and Jin Han behind them, and their interests were intertwined.
Today's rebels are ragged and trying to survive, but the composition is very pure, that is, poor peasants. If they can eat enough, they may not make trouble.
Combat power and scale, or even the ability to see-saw, the two cannot be compared.
He sighed.
Time flies, one hundred and seventy years ago, Yuhengcheng and Takigawa water bandits, this pair of sworn enemies have long been buried by history.
In the past, only war opens the next cycle.
The only one who remains in the world is Bega, and he is as strong as ever.
……
The next day, He Chunhua invited Rongshan's envoy, that is, his eldest son, to parade with him.
The main composition of this army was the main force of the Xiazhou Army that followed the He family south, the soldiers of the four nearby Zhichong Prefectures, and a part of the forbidden foreign army near the capital, totaling more than 45,000 people.
The time was too short, and He Chunhua could only organize confrontation military exercises many times, in order to allow this mixed army to quickly integrate.
In He Lingchuan's opinion, it is not surprising that the strongest here is the Xia Zhou Army.
He still remembered the embarrassment of He Chunhua when he formed this army last year, lacking food and clothing, and having no command, and racking his brains for the first victory in the face of the Xunzhou rangers who fought guerrillas.
Now, the army is well-groomed and well-equipped, and the charge is also presentable.
He Lingchuan himself is a veteran of the battlefield, and he can see at a glance that this team has already seen blood on the battlefield, and he is not panicked when he encounters trouble.
I think I've fought a few fights with the Xunzhou army.
He felt some emotion in his heart. In the past year, he has grown rapidly, and He Chunhua is also working hard here, and he has not slackened at all.
God rewards hard work, He Chunhua gritted his teeth and waited, lacking an opportunity.
Now, the opportunity has finally come, and it depends on whether he can grasp it.
Kite Jun also tried his best, and the elites of the forbidden foreign army and Zhichong Mansion were all allocated to He Chunhua. The eagerness to complete the battle can be seen from this.
The expedition is imminent, and He Chunhua is even more busy like a spinning top, simply eating and living in the barracks, and not going home.
He Lingchuan took the opportunity to invite Wu Shaoyi to dinner, and made a request to him during the banquet:
"Duke Wu is going to Jizhou to find the county chronicles of Tu County in the past two hundred years for me, preferably related to Takichuan."
He can't go in person, so he can only find a reliable person to do things.
"Takigawa?"
"Yes, but all clues related to Takigawa, I want it! The finer the better. ”
Wu Shaoyi did not hesitate: "A trivial matter is wrapped up in me." ”
He Lingchuan saved his life, and he did this little thing in return, and it was easy to do it.
Two days later, the military supplies aided by Rongshan arrived, and the royal court was a sensation.
This is life-saving money, this is timely rain.
The threshold of the Kite Emperor's imperial study was about to be trampled on, but under the watchful eyes of Rongshan's envoy and Hu Xieli, the royal court still withstood the pressure, and gave priority to food and salary to aid the two major battlefields.
That night, He Chunhua rushed back to Hefu to reunite with his family, and the next morning he led the army south to quell the rebellion.
The kite himself went to the city gate to see him off, and it was quite a sensation along the way.
He Lingchuan accompanied Mrs. Ying to stand on the city gate, and when he saw his father turn around, he waved and smiled at him.
The father and son looked at each other in the air, and everyone felt that each other was estranged.
Despite the fact that they were smiling brightly at each other.
Then the army was gone.
The bustle of the kite capital also came to an end for the time being, and the crowd slowly dispersed.
Mrs. Ying's heart was surging, and she didn't want to go back to her house for a while, so she dragged He Lingchuan to walk around the street for a long time. The latter practiced martial arts for half a day, but after less than half an hour of shopping, his legs began to ache, so he had to use the excuse of being busy with official business.
Before he got out of the street, Qiu Hu came out of nowhere: "The task is complete." ”
He Lingchuan understood, found a restaurant, asked for a private room, and poured Qiu Hu a glass of wine.
Qiu Hu pressed both hands on his knees and didn't touch the wine glass: "Young Master, I have followed General He for the past five days." ”
Although He Lingchuan is easy-going, there is still a difference between him and He Lingchuan, and the report has not been completed, how can he eat and drink in front of the master?
He Lingchuan saw it in his eyes and smiled slightly.
The task he assigned to Qiu Hu was to keep an eye on He Chunhua.
"What's the catch?"
