"Little Bear, I know that you are in trouble, but right now Yangzhou City is in danger. The only one who can save Yangzhou City is you! Please don't make excuses anymore and accept your orders in the face of danger!"

Here I have to talk about the unique geographical location of Yangzhou City.

In fact, as a history buff, Liu Dapao has always wondered why Yangzhou City, which should have belonged to Huainan West Road in the history of the Song Dynasty, became Jiangnan East Road in the history of the Zhou Dynasty.

You must know that Yangzhou is located south of the Huaihe River and north of the Yangtze River. Its military and economic location is extremely important, but it also happens to be stuck in the transition zone between Jiangnan East Road and Huainan West Road.

But in fact, it is said that it is more reasonable to divide it into Huainan West Road like the Northern Song Dynasty. After all, it is located in Jiangbei, and it is more convenient.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally realized that the purpose of the imperial court was to control the military envoys of the two towns so that Yangzhou, as an economic center, could be better under the direct jurisdiction of the central government and not be involved by local governments.

In this way, the entire area south of the Huaihe River, the richest area in the world, will not easily form large warlords that the central court cannot control. This is similar to the way that later generations of administrators coincidentally included Hanzhong in the Shaanxi division, and it also reflects the Chai Dynasty.

Honor your great wisdom when dividing the regions.

On the contrary, during the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty did a good job of advocating culture and suppressing military force, the military governors in various places were deprived of their real power, so there was no need to talk about this.

But the embarrassing thing about this kind of administrative division is that the troops with Suning rank are mainly stationed in Jiangnan, relatively speaking, they are more like defending Jiangning. In fact, people have always regarded Jiangning as their own territory, and Yangzhou is their home.

Prefect Yang's territory.

Geographically, although Yangzhou is in the middle of the two roads, and Jiangning and Yangzhou are not far away, after all, they are separated by the Yangtze River. It is always a troublesome thing to mobilize large-scale troops to cross the river, and it is impossible to hurry up.

It's coming as soon as it's said.

It would be much more convenient to move troops to Huainan West Road, but they would cross the road!

At all times and in all countries, moving troops across provinces has been a very troublesome matter, and the procedures alone are extremely complicated.

Besides, the soldiers on Huainan West Road are really not necessarily willing to take care of your affairs on Jiangnan East Road. There may not be any benefits, but there are a lot of troubles visible to the naked eye.

Both areas are the richest areas in the Great Zhou Dynasty. There is cooperation on weekdays, but there is more filth.

Especially Yangzhou, as a metropolis, has sucked the blood of Huainan West Road, but its political achievements are not their fault. They have long been displeased with you. If something happens in Yangzhou Prefecture, people may be secretly enjoying themselves now.

It's really not necessarily faster to mobilize troops from them than from Suning.

As for the guards of Yangzhou, the only ones who can arrive at any time are actually Shi Ping. Normally speaking, Shi Ping alone is definitely enough to deal with some public security incidents. After all, this place is located in the heart of the country.

Without any pressure from foreign enemies, who knew that Shi Ping's entire army would be wiped out so quickly?

All in all, if you want to send more troops into the city now, let alone tonight, they may not be able to arrive tomorrow night or even the day after tomorrow.

If these mobs were allowed to cause chaos for three days or even longer, the most prosperous, richest and most populous Pearl of the Huaihe River in the Zhou Dynasty would be completely destroyed.

Liu Dapao is a local snake in Yangzhou, and the entire Yizi Sect relies on Yangzhou for its existence. He is also a native of Yangzhou. The destruction of Yangzhou will definitely not be of any benefit to him, so today's matter,

He really has a sense of responsibility.

"It's just... Sir, I am a white body..."

"I understand, I understand, I understand. I know that I am the one who is about to step down. Now that there is such a big chaos in Yangzhou, I am afraid it is impossible to retire safely. There is a high probability that I will go to Beijing. There is nothing I can say.

That’s good, I’ve specially brought you two adults, Wang and Sun.”

Hearing this, Liu Dapao looked at the two people behind him, bowed his hands and said, "The common people have seen these two husbands."

The two of them were direct, waving their hands and interrupting Liu Dapao's salute: "Submit to the right in urgent matters. Now it seems that Yangzhou City's defense does have huge loopholes. As a commercial city and a national trade center, its residents

It's a mixed bag, and it's really easy for thieves with evil intentions to take advantage of it."

"Yes, I have to admit that the imperial court did not pay enough attention to gang affairs and grassroots people in the past, which led to today's chaos. At this moment, we can only bother Xiong Zhuangshi to repair the situation. Don't worry

, we also know your difficulties, Qiu Yan has relayed your words to us, and they are indeed quite reasonable."

"In order to ease your mind, and for the long-term peace and stability of Yangzhou City in the future, the three of me have jointly submitted a letter to the court, asking you to select people who are familiar with gang affairs in Yangzhou City to form a patrol battalion to strengthen Yangzhou's defense and strengthen Yangzhou City's public security management.

The establishment is 3,000, and the soldiers' pay will be raised by Yangzhou Prefecture. The three of us have recommended you as the first commander of the patrol camp. You are an official of the fifth rank. You must obey the authority in urgent matters. It is definitely too late to wait for the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War.

Approved, please lead the volunteers first and put down the rebellion in Yangzhou tonight before we talk!"

"The three of us can swear on the ancestral tablet that this memorial was really written and a messenger has been sent out. If I shirk the responsibility and give up on you afterwards, the three of me will die badly. If you don't believe it, there are people from the yamen here.

Keep the documents as evidence."

When Liu Dapao heard this, he looked confused.

I, the commander of the patrol battalion, am of the fifth rank?

Am I an official?

That's not right! Didn't I just quit all my positions and become a white man?

I want to wash my hands in a golden basin!

I really just want to clear my name!

This commander is said to be an official, but from just these few superficial introductions, it is not difficult to find out that there is something fishy about him.

First of all, this so-called patrol camp must be dominated by his Yi Zimen. It is said to have a staff of three thousand people, but it is not certain how many people it can have. In addition to formal workers, sooner or later it will be

There will be temporary workers. Isn’t this an enhanced version of a bad person?

Then wouldn’t he still want to be the boss of the Yi Zi Sect?

Secondly, this military salary is actually issued by Yangzhou Prefecture.

Shouldn't military pay be allocated from the Ministry of War? Even if it is recruited on the spot, which account should it go to? Is it the account of the Yangzhou prefecture's Yamen?

How can the Yangzhou government government have so much public money? Just tell me that you want me to use the government money to pay military pay and that's it! Then won't my status as a money catcher still stop me from going out?

Needless to say, it must be another routine of the civil-military dispute. You must know that the people who proposed the construction of this patrol camp are three and a half prime ministers. There is a high probability that this camp will not be built without any problems.

But he put it under the framework of the magistrate's office unintentionally. In other words, does Suning, the governor of Jiangnan East Road, have any control over him?

The current political correctness of the imperial court is to reduce the power of the military governors in various regions. After the world is basically unified, especially the southern states are trying every means to disarm the military governors. Doing so will indeed give better approval from the top, but Liu Dapao

And the entire patrol camp became nondescript.

The most intuitive thing is, should he, as a commander, be considered a civilian official or a military attaché?

Who is the direct leader? Is it the prefect of Yangzhou? Is there any chance of promotion in this position?

When managing public security, is the main responsibility of arresting people or killing people? Does it count as military merit? Does it have the power to review cases?

He always felt that this was a bigger bad guy, and he seemed to be completely trapped. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether this position was white or black.

"Master Xiong, do you still have any concerns? Or do you have any other requests? Tell me, as long as it is within the scope of my three human rights, I will definitely agree to it."

Liu Dapao opened his mouth, and after a long time, he closed it.

He might have wanted to refuse this job, but it seemed that he was the only one who could solve the current mess in Yangzhou. He was also a Yangzhou native and couldn't just watch the city of Yangzhou be destroyed.

And as he said himself, without official authorization and a legitimate identity, he really would not dare to quell the violence.

Ah~

It's so hard for me.

The younger brothers behind him said: So this is the big brother’s purpose, it’s unfathomable!

Du Mengdong, who thought he knew the most, was even more impressed by Liu Dapao: Brother, this plan is really brilliant, it is much better than fighting directly with He Zimen.

No wonder the master of Tiance Palace refuses to see him. It turns out that he and his eldest brother have already had a tacit understanding!

When he looked at Magistrate Yang again, his eyes were even full of sympathy.

You must know that my eldest brother was also responsible for the April Feixue incident. Then he first killed Da Koujiu, then cracked down on gangsters, and finally took advantage of Lin Huaile's incident to retreat bravely, relinquish all his responsibilities, and then guide He Zi

Door riot.

All linked together!

Poor Mr. Yang, he ended up like this because of his eldest brother's calculations all the way. Not only did he not know anything, but he also tried his best to build a ladder for his eldest brother. Look, thank you.
Chapter completed!
