After receiving the telegram from Guo Shuanhu, Luo Yuzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. Without this telegram, they still would not be able to relax. The situation in the six central provinces was much worse than originally estimated.
Thinking that you can recover with a sum of money, it seems that is far from the case now. These bastards destroyed too many facilities when they left. In addition to paying for it, they also need a lot of labor.
, now that tens of thousands of soldiers have been captured, this first batch of labor force can be considered available.
There are not many young and middle-aged labor force in the six central provinces. If there was some way, they would have moved to other places long ago. Although the society in other places is also dark, compared with these provinces, it is still different.
What kind of life are there in several provinces? After Luo Yuzhang visited around, he saw it very clearly.
In addition to the three people from the Xue family above, the officials at all levels below are also terrible. If you want to be an official, just give these three governors lots of gifts. Today you gave 50,000 silver coins, then this county magistrate
It's yours. If he sends 60,000 silver coins tomorrow, then this county magistrate will be his.
The buying and selling of officials has reached a very rampant stage. If you want to be an official, you only need to pay a part of the money. If you want to get back your money, you can only plunder the common people. They have already reached the stage of acting as Chimao.
As for the grain situation, it is said that the tax revenue has been collected in the next year.
"Immediately send a telegram to the prince, saying that we have intercepted most of the money. We haven't found out yet, but according to what Xue Laoer said, more than 95% of it is in our hands.
Here, please ask the prince to give us instructions on what to do next."
Luo Yuzhang said with some lingering thoughts. The prince had already rejected their plan to go to the northwest, so they could only stay in the central provinces. For things like economic construction, Luo Yuzhang was not in the mood at all. Luo Yuzhang just wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy.
, if he is asked to engage in economic construction, then simply kill him. He has no similar ideas.
In fact, this is not just Luo Yuzhang's idea. Including some other military commanders, they have never thought about restoring the economy. In their view, this is a matter for government officials. Soldiers can only fight, and the rest
We don’t need to worry so much about our affairs. If we do, it will make us a little too busy.
Rong Kai immediately edited a telegram and sent it immediately. According to their thinking, no matter what, it would take a few days before there would be a reply, and it would take a few hours at the earliest. Who knew that less than twenty minutes had passed?
By the time, Dongdi Country had already sent the telegram back.
Capture Loujin City?
Luo Yuzhang and Rong Kai looked at the contents of the telegram and immediately understood what was going on. They had already known about the northwest region before. Boss Xue led the army to the northwest region. That guy Jamur Khan didn't want to have a large-scale attack.
There was a conflict, so Lou Jincheng was handed over to Boss Xue.
Now the prince has asked us to capture this place, which means that we can enter the northwest region, with limited access of course. This city is the dividing line between the inland and the northwest, and it can also be regarded as a bridgehead. As long as we capture
When we get down here, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. When the time comes, the initiative will be in our hands.
"Your Majesty is really far-sighted. At least we people cannot consider that as long as we capture this city, war will immediately break out in the northwest region. After Boss Xue and the others lose this city, they will become lonely ghosts in the wild.
, as long as our military power is strong enough, then Boss Xue will not be able to take it back. If he cannot take advantage of us, he will cause trouble for Jamur Khan, and then the two of them will probably
There will never be peace."
Rong Kai's mind was spinning very fast. He had already clearly seen what Gao Shaoyi was thinking. Luo Yuzhang hadn't figured it out yet. After hearing this, he clapped his hands happily, although they were not allowed to talk about the northwest region.
Use troops, but as long as we take this step, there will never be peace in the northwest region. Let them kill each other.
"The prince has another order. You are responsible for resettling these refugees before the court officials arrive. You know that I am not good at this kind of thing. I will leave half of the army for you, and then I will lead the rest of the army to pursue
Go up, Guo Shuanhu's army alone cannot take this city, so the two of us will go to the northwest. All matters in the rear will be left to you. If you have anything to do, just report it to the prince. I will also hand over the temporary command.
for you."
Luo Yuzhang talked for a long time, and there was only one core idea. Everything now belongs to you, whether it is logistics or resettlement of the victims. Anyway, these are relatively trivial matters. Luo Yuzhang will not care about this. He only wants to do it.
Will take care of things on the battlefield.
Rong Kai nodded helplessly. He also knew that what Luo Yuzhang said was true. With the men in Guo Shuanhu's hands alone, if they were to carry out the pursuit mission, those men would be competent. If they were to enter the northwest region and capture the city,
They did not have heavy weapons in their hands, and the supplies had not been sent yet, so they had to ask Luo Yuzhang to go over and provide support.
"Wait a moment, Your Majesty has another telegram."
When Luo Yuzhang was about to leave, another telegram came over. Luo Yuzhang didn't know what it said, but he saw the first sentence. He asked Luo Yuzhang to stay in Zhongjing to see the overall situation, and also dispatched General Long from the south to the north to let Luo Yuzhang go north.
General Long brought his own security forces to support.
this…
Luo Yuzhang instantly felt that the whole world was unfriendly to him. He had obviously prepared what to do, but he did not expect such a result. If he had left a few minutes earlier, he probably would not have seen this telegram.
Of course, those are just words of anger. No matter where you go, the prince's order is the prince's order. You must come back honestly, otherwise someone will want you to look good.
"Where are General Long's security forces currently located?"
Luo Yuzhang came to the map angrily. Since he needed to mobilize this army, he had to know their location.
"Sir, we have arrived at Shuijing, which is six hundred miles away from us and two hundred and seventy miles away from Chief Guo."
The combat staff under his command have already marked their positions, which means that General Long has already set off...
