The documents scattered all over the place in the festival hall were cleaned up by their own soldiers, and before they were cleaned out, Jia Hui went to the east wing of the courtyard where the festival hall was located.

After Jia Hui put down the pen and printed the documents, they were placed on a stack of papers on the right side. Seeing that the stack of documents could be two fingers thick, Hu Jiu picked it up and handed it to the herald who was waiting outside the door, and he would send the documents to the relevant departments.

At this moment, Yang Zhi walked in.

"General, my subordinates have looked at the arsenal, and there are indeed several empty warehouses, and after counting, there are more than 60,000 less than 70,000 weapons of all kinds left, and there is indeed more than 20,000 losses.

Therefore, the subordinates swept up the remaining rust and weighed it, and the weight was completely insufficient to match the loss of nearly 20,000 weapons!

This is a subordinate record! ”

After Yang Zhi finished speaking, he put a few pages of paperwork on the table.

"Well, got it. You've been working all morning today, and you didn't let you rest well in the afternoon, but let you go to check the warehouse, which was hard. ”

Jia Hui didn't look up, and kept writing something on the paperwork.

"These are all the last generals..."

"Okay, it's all your own people, so there's no need for polite words. In this way, I gave the three of you a special grant of nine taels of wine, and when I returned to the camp, I will go to the gang leader to get it. ”

Jia Hui stopped writing and stamped his general's seal on the paperwork, then raised his head to look at Yang Zhi, and stretched out his hand to hand him the paperwork.

Yang Zhi naturally accepted it happily

Once again, he stamped the seal of the governor of the left army on the paperwork, and Jia Hui put down the pen.

"Lao Jiu, I'll give you two things."

Hu Jiu, who was about to pick up the processed paperwork, stopped.

"But by the command of the Lord!"

"The first thing, Deng Yuan will be escorted back to Beijing by the Jinling garrison eunuch Xia Ming, and you will escort him to the palace with Lao Shi in a while, and hand him over to Xia Ming in person."

"Yes!"

"The second thing, this is a document to supplement armaments, I have already used the seal, you send Deng Yuan to the time, 800 miles to expedite me to go north to Linzi, and go to bring me all the inventory of the War Bureau to Jinling!

No, you go to the Eastern Capital garrison eunuch Dai Ming first, this guy was sent to Linzi at the beginning of the year to experience training, give him the token, I am writing a letter to him, hand over the documents and letters to him to replenish the armament, and let him go to the War Bureau with you!

There is no time to talk to the bureaucrats of the War Bureau, everything is done in a hurry!

Then you fold the seal to Lao Eleven, let him send it to Luoyang as quickly as possible, and hand it over to Chen Jingyuan for him to present to the emperor directly! ”

Jia Hui picked up the pen again, and the pen went away, because he had already written it in the fold before, so this time he only simplified some words, and quickly finished the letter.

Taking the envelope from the desk and putting the letter paper in it, Jia Hui took off one of his white jade rings.

Although it was only made of ordinary white jade, its importance was far greater than Jia Hui's other rings.

This is a fire paint seal engraved with Jia Hui's exclusive Vermilion Bird pattern and carried by Jia Hui.

Take out a piece of fire paint, light the candle and start heating.

Soon, the fire paint was baked, and drop by drop fell onto the closure of the envelope. Seeing that the accumulation was almost over, Jia Hui took advantage of the fact that the fire paint had not yet solidified, pinched the ring and printed it on the fire paint that had not yet solidified.

Sealed with fire paint.

Jia Hui picked up the letter and gently blew the wind towards the fire paint, until it was completely solidified before handing the letter to Hu Jiu. Then he took the paperwork and the recital, and gave it to him.

"Okay, go to the eleventh, go back to Jinling City, go home by the way to get fifty taels of silver, and estimate how much silver you want and how much cash you need. Well, go for it! ”

"Yes!"

Hu Jiu didn't hesitate, turned around and left the east wing quickly.

At present, there is not so much time to go through the procedures, at least they must prepare their weapons before they start an incident.

But he didn't trust Jiangnan Daying.

After so many bullshit incidents, Jia Hui's impression of Jiangnan Daying is extremely bad. If you really lead this army to fight, it will inevitably affect your judgment and cause more problems.

Besides, this is not a unit close to Jia Hui, no matter how good the relationship is, they will not completely obey their orders.

So, what other army can be used in Jiangnan?

There is no need to count on the local garrison, it would be good to get together and not fight, after all, it is Jiangnan...

However, there is still an army that can fight...

"General, the time has come."

The voice of the soldier outside the door interrupted, Jia Hui's contemplation.

Oh, the errand?

Let's go back to dinner first.

。。。。。。

East of Jinling City, south of Zhongshan Mountain.

The original Zijinwei station, now the residence of the metropolitan governor Jia Hui.

Festival.

Dinner was simple, cold noodles and marinated water.

After all, Jia Hui grew up in the north, and the master chef who accompanied the army would also try his best to cook northern dishes.

Boiled and watered thin noodles, shredded cucumbers, shredded carrots, chopped toon sprouts and pickles, garlic paste, and sesame sauce, the soul of cold noodles.

These are Jia Hui's favorite combinations.

The water that had been marinated for a whole day was also brought up by the cook.

The pork heart, pork belly, and large intestine that have been cut are placed on a plate, and the aroma of the braised pork is mouth-watering.

I fished out a bowl of noodles from the cold water, added various ingredients, and poured half a bowl of sesame sauce into it, mixed it well with two pairs of chopsticks, and started eating!

Snoring......

Only the sound of Jia Hui sucking noodles was left in the festival hall.

Simple, filling and delicious.

Call... Full.

After drying the cold noodles of the two large bowls of sea, Jia Hui covered his stomach and leaned on the pillow pile on the Luohan bed and hummed.

Happiness is very simple, this kind of food that he likes to eat, and the pleasure of eating until he is full makes Jia Hui want to stop.

Life is only a hundred years old. should eat, drink, and before dying, he will not regret how he grew old without eating so many delicacies in the early years, and it is not in vain to come to this world for a walk.

The leader of the gang outside the door heard the sound in the festival hall, and skillfully walked in with the iced sour plum soup, and placed it on the edge of the Luohan bed, where Jia Hui could reach as soon as he stretched out his hand. Only then did he turn around and clean up the bowl that had been eaten on the table.

"Lao Ding, when you go out later, remember to call Lin Chong and ask him to come to me tomorrow morning."

"Hey, okay!"

The gang leader wiped the table with a rag, and did not put it back on the Luohan bed, but put it on the ground according to Jia Hui's habits.

After eating, the general will lie on the bed for a while, and don't disturb him at this time, otherwise the consequences will be serious.

Lao Ding tiptoed out of the festival hall.

Only Jia Hui was left.

The rectification of the Jiangnan camp should be accelerated, and at least those military generals who committed crimes should be taken away as quickly as possible.

But the Jiangnan camp really doesn't dare to use it!

Originally, he wanted to disrupt their lineage and then integrate into the various armies. Anyway, there will be no war in Jiangnan, let them slowly wear away that greed and start again.

But now that the war is approaching, Jia Hui is worried that those criminal soldiers who hate him for cutting off his financial route really ran behind his back to collude with the White Lotus Sect and stabbed him in the back.

It's even worse to kill them all, this is simply forcing the entire Jiangnan camp to surrender to thieves!

However, if you are a thief...

There are less than 10,000 people, or Jiangnan soldiers who have not experienced war for more than ten years, at most they are just taking on private work and suppressing bandits, and it doesn't seem to be of much use to join in, right?

At least in the short term, it will not form any decent combat power.

After all, the sect leader was not a fool, and even if so many people came to vote for him, he would definitely disrupt them and reorganize them into the various armies.

In short, this group of people will definitely not be brought together!

Moreover, forcibly arranged to serve as the leader of each squad, breaking the harmonious squad atmosphere, and even being a good military household that they once needed to look up to, it is strange that they can serve the public!

It will take at least a few months to re-establish a new relationship.

It seems like... It's a bit of a headset!

However, the shorter the interval between this matter, the better, and it is best to start fighting with the White Lotus Sect on the second day after this group of people go out.

If the sin army is allowed to gain a firm foothold and pass the military formation to the White Lotus Sect to form a combat force, it will be troublesome.

Let's wait for the armament to be sent, I heard that the arquebus was made by the Linzi Military Bureau. He asked for a thousand arquebuses and twenty cannons of all kinds.

It's a combat test.

。。。。。。

The next day, Jiangnan Daying.

The festival hall has been cleaned up, and all kinds of furniture that have been broken down have been replaced with new ones.

Tan Ji sat on the Luohan bed with Jia Hui with a haggard face.

"Governor Dadu, I went through the files of embroidered clothes for a day yesterday and the old files of the Jinling Palace of the previous dynasty, and I can be regarded as having found it..."

As he was talking, Tan Ji handed the stack of papers in his arms to Jia Hui.

Jia Hui looked through it, and Tan Ji was also waiting patiently on the side, ready to explain to the Metropolitan Governor at any time.

The first is the record of the previous dynasty.

It is true that they did not eradicate Manichaeism, after all, such a big uprising, there were those who surrendered, there were repeated, and there were those who were scattered and fled into the deep mountains and old forests......

These people hibernated.

Probably the damage to the previous dynasty was too deep, and in the next few decades, even the terminally ill Liang Ting still played with his life to purge the followers of Manichaeism.

Until the Great Cool collapsed.

After that, it was the troubled times of the alternation of Liang Qi, and they quickly recovered and grew stronger.

At this point, it has become the secret file of Daqi.

Taizu attaches great importance to intelligence work, and established the predecessor organization of Xiuyiwei early. Because of this, the time span of the information retained by the embroidered guards is also quite long.

Speaking of Manichaeism, they were easily destroyed because they started too late and Taizu fought too quickly.

Since they pretended to be the princes at that time, Taizu only thought that he had eliminated one of the princes, and did not investigate carefully, but he felt that the princes of this side actually relied on cults/religions to control people's hearts, and made a note of it.

The Manichaean elites, who were once again dispersed, survived and absorbed the remnants of many other sects, eventually merging into what is now the White Lotus.

Then there were several rebellions in the Taizu period, some of them were against Qi Fuliang, some of them were unwilling to be reconciled by the remnants of the princes from all walks of life, and some of them rebelled together at the wrong time...

It's a lot.

Related to the White Lotus Sect is a huge battle, but it happened to collide with the Qi army that returned from the Northern Expedition. It was put down in two months, and the rebellion was like a joke...

The thing is very simple, that is, the former Liang relics in Kansai took advantage of the gap period when the Northern Expedition of the Great Qi and the Mengyuan and the main force were not there. The White Lotus Sect, which was also preparing for an uprising in Kansai, couldn't hold back and rebelled together.

But what they didn't expect was that the Northern Expedition was received by the Yuan people in advance, and they wanted to finish the battle, and then they were beaten by the Qi army and fled westward.

When the Qi army chased to Alxa, they received the news of the rebellion in Guanxi, and they immediately gave up the pursuit and entered Guanzhong from Xiaoguan, which was still in the hands of the Qi army, to quell the rebellion.

The first to be killed was the White Lotus Sect army that happened to be blocking the gate of Xiao Pass.

Because of the white lotus banner, the White Lotus Sect army was treated by the Qi army as a special elite unit for the old and the young, and they were killed cleanly.

It also happened that the commander of the Northern Expedition at that time was his great-grandfather Jia Hui, the old Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan.

It wasn't until the end of the counterinsurgency and the summary and review that I realized that this army under the banner of the White Lotus was completely different from the old and young people.

The name of the White Lotus Sect also appeared for the first time in the archives of the Great Qi Divisions.

It is seen as a joke.

As a result, the White Lotus Sect disappeared again.

It wasn't until today, eighty years later, that the White Lotus Sect finally seized an opportunity that seemed good to Jia Hui.

They set their sights on the servants and tenant farmers in Jiangnan who had been abused and exploited by the master for generations.

This group of people has the strongest desire to change their fate, and they have all suffered a lot, and their ability to resist pressure is absolutely first-class, and they are particularly good candidates to strive for.

Closing the file of the embroidered clothes, Jia Hui raised his head and looked at Tan Ji.

"Old Tan, I want you to activate all the spies in the Jiangnan family, and let them carefully inquire for me about this group of people!

It's best to get involved and infiltrate me with this impending slavery! ”

。。。。。。

Not long after Tan Ji left, Lin Chong came over again.

Lin Chong was standing at the bottom of the hall, waiting for Jia Hui to send him a task.

"Lao Lin, you will take your people back to Yangzhou in the afternoon and go directly to Lin Yushi. It is unreasonable to tell him not to care about any evidence or not.

You just tell him that I have already found out the identity of the stone shopkeeper, who is one of the two main forces of the Kansai rebellion decades ago, the high-ranking of the White Lotus Sect.

Let him hurry up and give me those group of salt merchants in the name of colluding with the cult and making friends with the thieves! ”

At this time, Jia Hui did not allow any unstable factors to be buried in his rear, and those salt merchants who committed crimes must die!

"Yes! The last general will take someone to my aunt's! ”

After speaking, Lin Chong turned around and was about to leave.

"Wait, there's one more thing!"

Lin Chong hurriedly stopped and turned around.

"What's the hurry, there's one more thing. After you run that group of salt merchants, you will stay in Yangzhou first, no, your men and horses and deputy generals will stay in Yangzhou, and you will obey Lin Yushi for the time being.

You will take about 300 people to Huai'an, but if you hear that there is a rebellion in the south, then immediately recruit Cao soldiers and Cao Gong's children to go south to quell the rebellion! ”

One of the foundations of Daqi has always been in the hands of the Chen royal family and the founding nobles - Jianghuai soldiers!

After Jia Hui finished speaking, he handed the troop transfer document that had been stamped with the seal of the Governor of the Left Army to Lin Chong.

Qi Lu, during the inspection of the Metropolitan Governor of the Five Armies, suddenly encountered a rebellion, and a nearby army of up to 50,000 people could be recruited to quell the rebellion!

Jia Hui handed over the big seal of his Dunhuang County Duke to Lin Chong, and with this seal, Lin Chong had full authority to represent himself.

For the children of Caogong, most of the governor's seal is not as good as this county seal!

"Alright, let's go with your men!

Be sure to solve the salt merchant as quickly as possible, and then go to Huai'an as quickly as possible, we have no time to waste! ”

"Yes! The last will obey! ”

Lin Chong also knew the seriousness of the current situation at this time, and bowed to Jia Hui with a solemn face, and left the festival hall with a hurried but steady pace.

Jia Hui sat down on the Taishi chair and kneaded his eyebrows.

The problems of combat personnel, armament, and the rear have all been solved as much as possible, and now, we are waiting for the White Lotus Sect to set off a slave mutiny.

However, there are still some side issues waiting for him to solve.

Jia Hui regained his fighting spirit, picked up the pen, and began to write letters again...

Against the clock!

The curtain opens!

It's just that this chapter is a bit boring, after all, it's a pre-war preparation, and all aspects have to be taken into account...

(End of chapter)
