Chapter 2104 An accident in Xin'an County
As the front line to block the Ming army from Huguang to Henan, Li Shuheng, who was stationed in Luoyang City, always paid attention to this place.
After Qiao Yuansheng and his second battle barracks defeated the Huguang and Sichuan Gui coalition forces at Dangzikou, they immediately sent cavalry to send the news back to Luoyang City.
From Dangzikou to Luoyang City, there are Nanyang Prefecture and Ruzhou in the middle.
Nanyang Prefecture and Ruzhou have become the territory of the tiger flag. In addition, the tiger flag has won all the way and are attacking the Fengfu, so there is no force or person in these two places who dare to provoke the tiger flag.
The day after Qiao Yuansheng defeated the government army by Dangzikou, the news came back to Luoyang City.
When Li Shuheng arrived at Luoyang City, he ordered people to close the Fu Palace at the first time, leaving only the eunuchs and palace maids in the Fu Palace to clean up and clean up the Fu Palace. The several palace gates of the Fu Palace were all guarded by the tiger flag.
As the first governor of the Tiger Banner, he usually works in the government office in Luoyang City.
The government office was big enough that Hong Chengchou, the Henan governor appointed by the tiger flag, also stayed in the government office together.
Hong Chengchou, who has been an official for many years, is very familiar with governing the country.
Usually, Li Shuheng only needs to master the general direction, and leave all other things to Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou does everything very considerately.
Under the leadership of Hong Chengchou, the farmers' associations in Henan Prefecture, Ruzhou, Nanyang Prefecture, and the three places bloomed everywhere, allowing the hand of the tiger-shaped flag to directly reach the village fort below.
What kind of imperial power does not go to the countryside? The tiger-like flag is never recognized.
The clans and gentry's right to rule of law over the countryside was directly fundamentally deprived of the tiger flag.
"Just just received the news from Dangzikou, Qiao Yuansheng defeated the Ming army in Dangzikou and captured more than 2,000 prisoners. Now the prisoners are being taken to Luoyang." Li Shuheng told Hong Chengchou the news of Dangzikou's great victory.
He did not fully trust Hong Chengchou, a local high-ranking official who surrendered from the Ming Dynasty.
The news that Hong Chengchou's party's son-in-law won was to add more confidence to Hong Chengchou's tiger-shaped flag, and it was also a warning.
Warn Hong Chengchou not to have any bad thoughts.
"This is really good news." Hong Chengchou said with a smile, "With this big victory, officials from Huguang and Chuangui are probably going to consider whether to continue to send troops to Henan to become enemies with our Tiger Banner in the future."
Li Shuheng looked at him and said, "Huguang and Sichuan-Guizhou coalition forces only lost thousands of troops at Dangzikou. This number of troops is nothing to the Huguang Commander Command, not to mention that there is a Shizhu Ma family."
"Just put your heart in your stomach when you caress the Taiwan Strait." Hong Chengchou said with a smile, "If you want to say that you have some understanding of the Ming officials, the officials of the Ming Dynasty have always 'Everyone swept the snow in front of the door, don't care about the frost on others' tiles.' The things in Henan can only depend on Henan itself, whether it is Huguang or Sichuan, they will not choose to harm their own interests to make wedding dresses for Henan officials."
Li Shuheng said: "So, Huguang and Chuangui come to Henan to get cheap things and are unwilling to do things that are putting their strength."
"Yes, that's what it means." Hong Chengchou nodded.
Local officials in the Ming Dynasty did a lot of gifts to send the bandits away from their own rule.
Li Shuheng smiled and said, "When the lord led us to Lingqiu in Datong, we experienced many similar things along the way."
"So the Ming Dynasty is about to perish!" Hong Chengchou looked at Li Shuheng with bright eyes.
Li Shuheng smiled and then said, "You must hurry up with the peasant soldiers in Nanyang Prefecture. Many places in Nanyang Prefecture are connected to Huguang. It is difficult to guarantee that the Ming army will not bypass Dangzikou and enter Henan from other places. These Ming army are not good at doing their jobs, but they have a good way to harm the people. We must prevent them in advance."
"After the establishment of the Farmers Association, the officials have been trying to find ways to train the Farmers, but there are too few instructors who train the Farmers, and there is only one instructor in several villages in some places." Hong Chengchou said.
The role of the peasant association is to replace the clan and govern the local area, while the peasant soldiers are the fruits of victory in protecting the peasant association. Both of them complement each other.
At the same time, there is another function of the peasant soldiers, which is the tiger flag reserve.
The existence of peasant soldiers can allow the tiger flag to expand its army as soon as possible and have enough troops.
Hearing this, Li Shuheng tapped his fingers on the table in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "I will find as many disabled soldiers as possible, and they will serve as instructors to train peasant soldiers."
As long as it is war, casualties will occur, and the tiger flag cannot escape this.
Some injured soldiers can return to the army after they are recovered from their injuries, but some soldiers are injured and disabled and cannot continue to stay in the army.
Although this type of disabled warrior cannot go to the battlefield, there is still no big problem in training peasant soldiers. Moreover, veterans who come down from the battlefield have all their skills and are also the best peasant soldiers instructors.
"Before the instructor arrive, we can only let the villages without instructors train together with other villages with instructors." Hong Chengchou sucked the corner of his mouth.
Two warrior divisions of the Tiger Flag were attacking other prefectures in Henan, and he also understood that these two warrior divisions could not withdraw their troops to train peasants.
Li Shuheng said: "When the army takes Kaifeng, the situation will be much better. At that time, I will personally come to train the peasant soldiers."
"That's all." Hong Chengchou nodded.
Li Shuheng poured a cup of tea for himself and Hong Chengchou and said, "We must keep a close eye on the matters of the Farmers' Association. When we first arrived in Henan, the clan forces and gentry forces below will definitely not be willing to give up the rule of law in the countryside, so it is difficult to guarantee that they will not do anything. It is best to split the villages of the same surname, disrupt them, arrange them in other villages, and then install villagers from other villages to prevent the occurrence of a clan elder and a clan leader in one's own affairs."
"The minister has written it down." Hong Chengchou nodded.
The tiger flag must extend the tentacles of the regime to the countryside, and such things must be done.
Such policies have long been implemented in Shanxi and Shaanxi.
Such policies do not suffer much benefit to poor people, and even the benefits outweigh the disadvantages. The only ones who suffer the greatest losses are those clan elders who hold great power.
"Report!"
Someone outside shouted, and soon the yamen runner outside the door led a sweaty man in.
After entering the house, the yamen runner gave a bow first and then said, "Report to Master, there is an emergency document submitted in Xin'an County."
The tolerance of entering the house together held up a sealed official document with both hands.
"Come on." Li Shuheng said.
The yamen runner took the official document from the tolerance beside him, took a few steps forward, respectfully placed it on the table in front of Li Shuheng, and then retreated back.
Li Shuheng took the official document from the table, tore open the seal on it, and pulled out the document with the official document written from it.
The documents are densely filled with words.
