When Meng Tian looked up and looked south, Fusu had already arrived at the Lingnan military camp.

Zhao Tuo and the others were already waiting outside the camp.

Fusu stepped down from the chariot and looked at the thin soldier in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly.

He had actually heard about the bad situation in the South China Sea, but when he really went to the scene, he realized that the situation here was even worse than he imagined.

Poor mountains and bad waters, nothing more than that.

The soldiers of the Fusu Dynasty bowed slightly and said, "Generals, you have worked hard all these years. ”

Zhao Tuo said: "As an imperial soldier, you should be ordered to do your duty, which is what the last general and others should do." ”

Fusu said: "I used to be far away in Xianyang, although I have heard about the situation in the South China Sea, but I really didn't expect that the environment in the South China Sea would be so bad, such a hot weather, I am afraid that the Qin people can not adapt to it at all, the first two crusades, the reason why the army will suffer heavy losses, inhuman crimes, heaven also!" Ground also! ”

Zhao Tuo said movingly: "It's all the minister's command that is unfavorable. ”

Fusu helped Zhao Tuo and the others up and stepped into the barracks.

In the tent, the generals were present.

Fusu looked at these dark-skinned generals, if it weren't for these people who were in this Qin dialect, I am afraid that no one would think that these people were Qin people, the sturdy generals in his memory had mostly become weakened in the South China Sea in the past few years, and he saluted these soldiers again.

After the ceremony.

Fusu slowly straightened up.

He asked, "I am afraid that you already know what Fusu is going to do this time. ”

"In order to rule the world, take precautions!"

"Don't blame Fusu for being suspicious, what I want to say today is that the overall situation in the world is not yet peaceful, and the undercurrent of Shandong's restoration is still turbulent, at this time, hundreds of thousands of old Qin soldiers and civilians have been stationed in the three counties of the South China Sea, in fact, the old Qin people have been the people of the South China Sea, and it is also said that the old Qin people have taken up the burden of integrating the South China Sea for China, and this strategy has been set by the imperial court earlier, but the last time my younger brother Hu Hai came to the South China Sea, he experienced a direct questioning to the hearts of the people."

"It was also from this interrogation that the court knew for the first time the true attitude of the sergeant."

"Homesickness is hard to shake."

"And that's human nature."

"However, the soldiers are the major affairs of the country, and the land of death and life."

"If something happens, what's the peace in the world?"

"It's not that I Fusu doesn't want to believe in the support of the old Qin people for the Great Qin, but because of the situation, the 500,000 soldiers in the South China Sea are mostly Qin people, and during this time, the imperial court checked the population of Guanzhong, but it was shocked to find that the number of old Qin people waiting in Guanzhong was less than 30% of the peak."

"It's horrifying."

"Wouldn't it be a great danger if there was turmoil?"

"Therefore, the imperial court has recorrected its strategy towards the South China Sea."

"It was decided to let the soldiers return in batches."

"However, now the third crusade against Ouyue is about to begin, although the scale of this expedition is small, but there can be no carelessness, and I came a little too hastily this time, so the first batch of soldiers who have the opportunity to return to Xianyang are destined to be a few, and after several discussions, it was decided to start with the middle and lower non-commissioned officers in the army."

"They have a lot of prestige in the army."

"If they are satisfied with the court's choice, they can also convince the soldiers that this matter is true."

"If you are dissatisfied, you can better tell your opinions to the court, and then allow the court to make some changes."

"It's just that these ideas were only discussed by the Prime Minister's Office, and the military was not notified, and I rushed south this time, in fact, I also wanted to ask the opinions of the generals."

"What do you think about this?"

Fusu looked at the generals in the tent.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one objected.

Zhao Tuo arched his hand and said: "The last general is grateful to the court for understanding, the army has entered Lingnan for nearly nine years, the soldiers are more and more homesick, many soldiers are more and more homesick, many soldiers are tears every day, but I and other soldiers are well aware of the South China Sea affairs, and do not want to give birth to any slack, and the last time Hu Hai Gongzi came, in public said that the court will release the soldiers home one after another, the whole military camp is jubilant, morale has increased greatly, now His Royal Highness came to Lingnan, personally responsible for the return of the soldiers, the last general is only grateful in his heart. ”

"The last general will thank His Highness for the 500,000 soldiers and civilians in the South China Sea."

After speaking.

Zhao Tuo knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed.

Fusu hurriedly stretched out his hand and helped Zhao Tuo up.

He said slowly: "This time I didn't tell you, it's clear that the fault is mine, how can I be worshiped by the soldiers?" ”

"General Zhao, please get up quickly."

Looking at the generals with moved expressions, Fusu sighed with emotion: "The war in the South China Sea has lasted too long, not because of the tenacity of the Baiyue people, but because of environmental factors, but when I came, I asked the imperial doctors in the palace, and several of them went south to Lingnan and treated General Ren Huan, so these imperial doctors have some understanding of the situation in Lingnan." ”

"It also provides a lot of suggestions for the governance of Lingnan."

Hear the words.

Li Xin and the others looked at each other slightly.

They thought that Fusu only came to retire from the army this time, and they didn't think that they would ask the imperial doctor, which was actually a bit unexpected by everyone, but at the same time, it also made them sigh with emotion, His Royal Highness is really kind-hearted, and always thinks of the Nanhai soldiers.

Then.

Zhao Tuo shouted loudly outside the camp tent, and immediately a military Sima entered the ranks.

He had a knife and pen in his hand.

Looked at.

Fusu didn't procrastinate, and said bluntly: "The imperial doctor said that governing Lingnan is actually the same as treating people, and the climate in Lingnan is hot, rainy, the weather is stuffy and humid, the jungle is full of miasma, and there are all kinds of puddles and ponds scattered all over the place, but most of them are stagnant water, so the first thing is to control water." ”

"Dredging these stagnant waters."

"So when Lingnan is completely settled, the primary political matter of the three counties in the South China Sea should be to control the water."

"Through the construction of canals, drainage and other means, let the water come alive."

"Water lives and the ground lives."

"In addition."

"This is the way to govern the land."

"The soldiers of the South China Sea used to come to Lingnan to adapt to the water and soil, but also suffered malaria and plague many times, under the diagnosis of these imperial doctors, they thought that the reason was probably mostly in the water source, since ancient times, the world is to take water on the spot to drink water, but the South China Sea may not be so, there is too much stagnant water here, there are too many dead animals floating in it, so in Lingnan ordinary drinking water, when using scalding water."

"I was confused at first, too."

"Firewood is expensive, after all."

"But after entering Lingnan, this worry has also dissipated."

"There are many trees in the Lingnan mountains, and they can be used locally, but after all, it is rainy here, and the wood is not easy to dry, so I am afraid it will take some time, but I believe in the judgment of these imperial doctors, and when the stagnant water of the South China Sea becomes living water in the future, it may not be impossible to become the second Bashu of Daqin."

"It's just that you generals need to worry a lot."

Hearing Fusu's words, everyone was thoughtful.

Zhao Tuo and the others were actually faintly aware of it before, but they didn't pay too much attention to it, and now that they think about it carefully, they also think deeply about Fusu's words, but these words came too late, if they could know it as soon as possible, maybe the first two expeditions in the South China Sea would not have suffered so many casualties.

Zhao Tuo said: "The last general remembers. ”

Fusu nodded with satisfaction, and said: "After several years of hard work, Daqin can barely control the South China Sea, but the South China Sea is remote, if there is a crisis, the imperial court may be difficult to help, so for the sake of the country, for the sake of China, there is only one new road to Yangyue into the South China Sea, I am afraid it is far from enough." ”

"Lingnan land."

"It's enough to beat the Qindi of Guanzhong in the past."

"In such a vast place, there must be no room for mistakes, especially since the imperial court has paid so many casualties for the conquest of the South China Sea, which is even more intolerable to the imperial court."

"Therefore, on the occasion of coming, I have suggested to the imperial court that when the South China Sea settles down, order the opening of several new roads, so that the South China Sea can be completely integrated into China, regardless of each other, so that in the future, whether it is in the north to appease the chaos or the South China Sea is in turmoil, we can always ensure that the South China Sea does not break away from China.

Fusu arched his hand.

Everyone was stunned, and hurriedly said: "I will do my best." ”

Only Zhao Tuo's eyes flickered.

He could hear the meaning of Fusu's words.

The imperial court is dissatisfied with the status quo in the South China Sea, especially now that there is only one new road to Yangyue into the South China Sea, if there is a disturbance in the South China Sea or the Central Plains, someone blocks the new road to Yangyue, and the relationship between the Central Plains and the South China Sea may be severed, which the imperial court will never tolerate.

Although it is not easy to build roads in Lingnan.

But Zhao Tuo did not doubt the execution and determination of the imperial court.

Once the imperial court decides what to do, this huge state machine is launched, and the power that can burst out is enough to shake the mountains and seas, although it is difficult to build roads, but it may not really be able to stop the determination of the imperial court to build roads, but there are many roads leading to the South China Sea in the Central Plains, and it will be difficult for the South China Sea to break away from the Central Plains.

Zhao Tuo sighed in his heart.

He knows.

The imperial court has developed a sense of precaution against the South China Sea.

Regardless of when these roads are eventually completed, the South China Sea is not destined to be as comfortable as it used to be.

It will also be watched by the imperial court at all times.

Fusu probably came this time to cut off all unrealistic ideas in the South China Navy.

Although Zhao Tuo knew these things in his heart, he couldn't do anything about it.

Li Xin said: "There are indeed too few roads into Lingnan in the Central Plains, except for the Yangyue New Road built by the imperial court in the past, there is only from the waterway, but the waterway is not stable, so in fact, the road into the South China Sea is actually one, if there is a problem with the Yangyue New Road in the future, the South China Sea may really be cut off from the imperial court, His Royal Highness's opinion is indeed far-sighted." ”

"Prevention is better than prevention."

Fusu shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed lightly: "Actually, I don't want to build more roads, Lingnan is hilly, the weather is complicated, once the road is determined to be built, and a large number of levies will be levied, which may increase the burden on the world, but Daqin has paid too much for the South China Sea, hundreds of thousands of soldiers' lives, and countless money and food, if the South China Sea is far away from China because of the road blockage, this is really impossible to explain to the people in the world, let alone to those dead soldiers." ”

"Therefore, although I don't want to, I can only do this."

The generals nodded.

The three counties of Lingnan were fought down by their own hands.

And would you like to be lost?

Therefore, even if it costs a lot, it is worth it in their opinion.

Subsequently.

Fusu's face sank, and his expression became serious.

He said solemnly: "What I said above is the imperial court's future arrangements for Lingnan, not the focus of my visit this time, the purpose of my visit this time, you may have already learned from all sources that I am here to solve the matter of non-commissioned officers retiring from the army and transferring to another post, before that, I need to declare in advance." ”

"This is a forced discharge."

"No one is allowed to intercede."

"And this time the transfer of non-commissioned officers will not go through the army, but will be handed over to the affairs office I founded, and the affairs office I created will not deal with these matters in the army, but in Lingling."

"Everyone can probably guess a thing or two about the reason."

"First, the barracks are important places and cannot be entered by unrelated personnel, and secondly, this matter is a matter of fairness and justice, if the government is placed near the barracks, it is inevitable that no one will try to lobby, so that this discharge from the army will be unfair."

"I can't tolerate that."

"So to make sure it's as fair as possible, I chose to off-site."

Hear the words.

Many people in the audience changed their faces.

In fact, they already knew the intention of Fusu.

But it is true that I didn't expect Fusu to do things so desperately, and I didn't give them any chance to meddle at all, and directly put the affairs office in Lingling, Lingling is located in the upper reaches of the Lingqu, and it is easy to pass the news downward, just use a boat to transmit it, but if you want to pass it from the three counties of Lingnan to Lingling, it will take some time, and if anyone wants to do something behind their backs, I am afraid it will be easy to be discovered.

And this time Fusu's attitude was very tough.

He also bluntly said that it was a forced discharge.

This also means that once selected by the imperial court, you can only be discharged from the army, and there can be no room for maneuver.

This is completely without giving any chance for change.

Fusu obviously thought about everything before he came, and it is nothing more than that this time Fusu came to the South China Sea, and there were no officials from the ministry to follow, and this is the reason.

Fusu wanted to take full control of the power to keep the non-commissioned officers in the army.

Fusu naturally saw the change in the faces of the generals below, but he ignored it directly, and continued: "When I came from Lingling, the officials of the affairs office had almost arrived, in order not to affect the normal operation of the army, and in order to implement the policy as soon as possible, I suggest that the military Sima send the roster of the general's sergeant officers to my account as soon as possible, and then send it directly to Lingling." ”

"But the generals don't have to worry too much."

"This is just the first batch."

"It's also the least number of discharges."

"Space is limited."

"So it will not affect the normal operation of the army, nor will it affect the next expedition, as the so-called generation of talented people come out, the old does not go to the new one, and some non-commissioned officers will be replaced, which can also ensure the normal flow of the army's order, and Daqin has never lacked people who can fight and can fight."

Hear the words.

Everyone's faces changed slightly.

Fusu's last sentence was very meaningful.

But what Fusu said was indeed the truth.

Since the military merit system, there is indeed no shortage of people who can fight.

But it also means.

All are replaceable.

The meaning of the warning is already beyond words.

Everyone who originally had a slight whisper was silent at this time.

Fusu has already explained his attitude, if he still has an opinion at this time, once Fusu is dissatisfied, the next time the people who are discharged from the army, their names may not appear.

They didn't want to challenge Fusu at this time.

The third one is tomorrow, I'm tired.

Woooooooo
