After hearing the conversation between the two, Han Kuo suddenly spoke: "The army, Huang Qianshi, and Wang Shizhong have only two thousand soldiers. Even if they are recruited into the army, they will not play any major role. After the Self-English Army defeated Kong Youde, his son Kong Tingxun sank all the ships when he knew they were defeated, and then led his troops to retreat to the front line of Phoenix City. The Qing army navy no longer exists, and our army, in addition to the fleet stationed on Pidao owned by General Lin, also the one under my command. Before, our army could also pass the

Liaodong has been landing in various places to attack the Qing army's controlled areas. But now the Qing army is next door to Qingye within twenty miles of the coast. Even if our army successfully lands, it will be difficult to get too much advantage. General Lin's army is hanging alone on Pi Island, and there is enough ship to ensure that the entire army can evacuate at any time. However, my navy is not very useful except for transporting food and grass back and forth. When our army is so short of troops, I propose to temporarily incorporate most of the water soldiers into the Zhizi camp, or return to Denglai with the army gate to quell the Liu Zeqing rebellion."

Zhou Xian pondered for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "The water soldiers are difficult to recruit, and their training methods are completely different from those of infantry. Although it is possible to add you to infantry to a little bit of replenish our army's strength, it will not play a big role. Moreover, the navy was created for the future, not now. I will not kill chickens and get eggs because of the lack of soldiers now. But what you are talking about is the truth. Two thousand soldiers are indeed not enough. Huang Qianshi, do you think this is good? This time I only called 3,000 cavalrymen from the Knight Camp back to Denglai, and I will not move any other soldiers in southern Liaoning. Also, our army will give up the front line of Xiuyan City and transfer all the 4,000 Xie Qian's troops here to assist in defense. In this way, the troops in southern Liaoning can basically be maintained at more than 20,000."

Huang Fei was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "Don't worry, if I can't defend Yongning City like this, I'm willing to come and see you." But as he said, his voice suddenly lowered, and his face was full of confusion: "Military, if this is the case, you will only have two troops in Denglai, Yong and Renying. Can you win Liu Zeqing? He has many soldiers under him. He also completely abandoned the front line of Xiuyan City, which is equivalent to completely giving up the situation that our army finally opened in the middle. Is this really worth it? Moreover, the 4,000 people Xie Qian was mostly the local people near Xiuyan City, and their families are all in the local area. How could they be willing to leave their hometowns and abandon everything to come here?"

Zhou Xian waved his hand and said, "The south of Xiuyan City is vast and sparsely populated. Four thousand people have reached the maximum limit of local soldiers, and it is impossible to expand again. Although they can restrain a large number of Qing troops in Xiuyan City, they cannot completely open up the situation. Moreover, every time the Qing army in Xiuyan City attacks, they can only wander around with weak forces, and the local people are mostly massacred by the Qing army. Under the current circumstances, transferring them to Jinzhou can play a much greater role than in Xiuyan City. Of course, what we need to do is not just let those soldiers come. I mean to move their families to Jinzhou together. This will not only make this relocation.

The sharp decline of the resistance of the people can also eliminate the worries of the soldiers. But we must do two things well. One is the resettlement of the people who are moved to the people, their residence, property, and even how they live in Jinzhou in the future. The second is to respect the opinions of Xie Qian and Zhalali during the process of forming the soldiers, and it is best not to break them up and reorganize them. After all, they have been independent so far, and forcing the reorganization now will inevitably cause other troubles. Han Kuo, you can take my handwritten letter to lead the fleet to complete this matter as soon as possible. Deputy General Zhao, leave the matter of resettlement and relocation of the people to you! Be sure to do this."

Zhao Xusheng, Han Kuo quickly stood up and bowed: "No!"

Zhou Xian nodded and continued, "There are two other things. The two prefectures of Jinfu are full of mountains and few fields, and many people are engaged in fishing and hunting. The population is scattered and difficult to control, which creates an opportunity for the Qing army to infiltrate in detail. Deputy General Zhao must count the population of Jinfu and the two prefectures as soon as possible. Even if it cannot cover all regions, the permanent population in the cities of Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou and Yongning Jiancheng must be mastered."

Zhao Xusheng replied: "Military, this matter has actually begun to be implemented, and the main thing is the responsibility of the garrison."

Yu Qi stood up and said, "Report to the military gate, except for Yongning City, these cities have begun to implement entry and exit control. From the moment a stranger enters the city, those with suspicious signs will be monitored. Although all the detailed works cannot be eliminated, they have achieved certain results. The subordinates believe that some soldiers can be recruited from the army and are specifically responsible for the internal and external detailed works. If this matter is done well, there will be no more cases of a large number of detailed works that inform the Manhumen like this."

Zhou Xian pondered for a moment and said, "Then build a department! But don't recruit soldiers from the army. This department should be based on the existing prefecture and county yamen runners, but it should play a greater role than previous servants. Most of them are locals and are very familiar with the situation in the country. It not only facilitates better review and detailed work, but also better handles the relationship with local people. Of course, the person who is mainly responsible for this matter should be our side. Lewu, your main energy should still be placed in the army. I think this matter will be left to Yu Jiu!"

Yu Qi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and said, "Military Sect, this matter is very important to our army. Xiaojiu is too young and may not be able to do this well. He also asked the military Sect to take back his life."

Zhou Xian smiled and said, "When it comes to young, Yu Jiu seems to be a few years older than me. I believe he can do this well. Huang Qianshi, what do you think!"

Huang Fei thought for a while and said, "Military Sect, such a department is said to be a detailed review, but I think the greater role should be to maintain local stability. This not only requires coordination of relations with local yamen runners, but also maintaining a balance of various forces. My subordinates have met Yu Jiu several times and are a man of great talent, but they are bold and impulsive, and are not the best candidate for this position. My subordinates mean that Yu Jiu will serve as the deputy, specifically responsible for specific actions, and another experienced person will be the head of the company, responsible for coordinating the relationship with local forces."

Huang Fei said: "I have a Qianmao named Huang Li on my side. He is cautious and peaceful. He is a veteran in handling various relationships and can hold this position."

Zhou Xian clapped his hands and said, "Then let Mr. Huang Qian serve as the chief position, Yu Jiu serve as the deputy, and then pick one out of the local servants and Yu Jiu to be the deputy. In addition to sending a small number of soldiers to assist the two, the others are recruited from the provincial government and the local people. As for the number of people needed, how to allocate positions, etc. Lewu, come up with a specific plan and hand it over to Huang Qianshi for resolution."

Yu Qi replied: "I understand, what is the name of the military gate?"

Zhou Xian thought for a moment and said, "Police station, guard, inspect and review. The basic weapons equipped with should be one level lower than those of soldiers, mainly swords and shields. If this is run well, I will implement them in Denglai."

The generals were talking, but no one expressed opposition. Huang Fei whispered to Zhou Xian: "Military Sect, under the current circumstances, his subordinates can ensure that the two states of Jin and Fu are not lost. His subordinates are still a little worried about Liu Zeqing's side. I heard that the court has issued a military order to you, requiring you to recover Shandong as soon as possible."

Zhou Xian smiled faintly, pointed at Liu Konghe and said to Huang Fei: "Chief Huang, this is Liu Konghe's deputy general, and was once a sergeant general under Liu Zeqing's rule. He is very familiar with the geography of Yanzhou. The one beside him is Chen Wangxin's guerrilla warrior and a brave general. They are my confidence in defeating Liu Zeqing."

Liu Konghe and Chen Wangxin quickly stood up and bowed to Huang Fei.

Huang Fei noticed Liu Konghe when he entered the tent, but he didn't care much at first. At this time, he heard Zhou Xian talk and nodded slightly to the two of them.

Zhou Xian continued: "Liu Zeqing was a nepotist. He made a fortune in Yanzhou. Most of his generals were from Yanzhou like him. Now he moved his troops to Jinan, divided his troops to plunder all directions, and most of his soldiers gathered in Jinan Prefecture. In Yanzhou, the rebel army occupied Jining, and if they sent troops, they could occupy the entire Yanzhou at any time. But the current situation is that the rebel army wanted to rely on Liu Zeqing to restrain the official army, and Liu Zeqing also hoped to maintain a close relationship with the rebel army so that he could prepare a way out for himself when he failed. The two used each other and were also afraid of each other. Liu Zeqing would not deploy too many troops in Yanzhou because he was worried that the rebel army would advance east again and annihilate his soldiers on the west bank of the canal. The rebel army was afraid that the rebel army would cause Liu Zeqing's fear of entering Yanzhou. Even when most of the Liu army evacuated Yanzhou, Li Zicheng would not order the army to enter Yanzhou."

Huang Fei was stunned for a moment and said, "The military gate means that Yanzhou has empty troops, and the official army can take advantage of the situation to take over Yanzhou. But if this happens, will it alarm the thieves? It is already difficult for Liu Zeqing to deal with it, and the thieves..."

Zhou Xian shook his head and said, "No. I will lead my troops to continue to put pressure on Liu Zeqing on the east side, and then force him to transfer his troops from Shandong to Shandong. What's next depends on Deputy General Liu?"

Liu Konghe said in surprise: "Don't you."
