Chapter 383 Who rules the ups and downs?

Pan Zongluo was not at all wary that he would be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for punishment.

Therefore, Pan Zongluo's family papers and treasures are still in the backyard of the governor's office.

The imperial court issued an order to arrest Pan Zongluo, mainly because of his poor command of the battle, which led to the increasingly rampant banditry.

In the decree, there is no intention to confiscate the property.

Yuzhu didn't want to embarrass the officials, so he ordered people to seal several doors in the governor's front office and the backyard, and then sat in the official room.

The Governor's Yamen was originally supposed to be the former Yamen and the back house.

However, Pan Zongluo's family cannot be moved at the moment, and it is impossible to drive people away too much.

Without Yuzhu's orders, Zhou Quan went to see Wan Yanlu, the chief envoy, in the name of the governor's master and with Yuzhu's name card.

Wan Yanlu heard that Governor Yu's entire family had no place to stay tonight.

This Wanyan Lu has been in Changsha for four years, and he basically knows all about the wealthy people in Changsha.

Therefore, under Wanyan Lu's initiative and coordination, Cuiyuan, the annex of the largest local tea merchant, became Yuzhu's temporary residence.

After Zhou Quan finished the matter and returned to the governor's office, Yu Zhu realized that he had gone out to do this.

It is Zhou Quan's job to check for omissions and take precautions.

Beyond reproach!

Zhou Quan, as the mastermind around Yuzhu, doesn't even dare to make the decision in trivial matters. How can he be called a confidant?

So Cao Chun, Qingwen and Hongmei were escorted by Zhou Quan's troops and went to Cuiyuan for the time being.

Hunan's top priority is to suppress bandits.

However, the number of bandits in western Hunan has been suppressed more and more. Now, they are spreading.

In addition to the story of two kitchen knives, Yuzhu was also influenced by TV series such as "The Suppression of Bandits in Western Hunan". Yuzhu was no stranger to the banditry in Western Hunan.

The so-called Xiangxi region generally refers to the western counties of Yuanzhou Prefecture (Huaihua), Chenzhou Prefecture (Yuanling), Baoqing Prefecture (Shaoyang), Yongding (Zhangjiajie) in the south of Lizhou, Jingzhou (including Huitong, Jingxian)

and the three counties of Tongdao), as well as the five Zhili departments in the southwest.

The entire Pianyuan Province currently only governs seven prefectures and two prefectures, but four prefectures are actually troubled by bandits. Can you imagine how bad the situation is?

However, although the bandit-infested area is large, the population is not large, only a million people at best.

According to Kangxi, places such as Fenghuang Hall and Sangzhi County in the west of Pianyuan have been in good times and rebellious at times, starting from the Ming Dynasty and continuing to the present day, with a history of more than 300 years.

The reason for this is actually mainly caused by the disobedience of the chieftains from various places to the imperial court.

The chieftains nominally submitted to the imperial court, but in fact, they were not only the local emperor, but also privately supported the bandits in the mountains to cause rebellion.

Yuzhu remembered clearly that Kangxi sighed at that time: "This is the way to raise the bandits to respect themselves."

If the banditry becomes serious, the court wants to suppress it by mobilizing the chieftain's troops and giving him money, food and territory.

When the chieftain ran out of money and spent it, banditry began again, and so on.

Kangxi also knew the seriousness of the banditry in western Hunan, and the request he made to Yuzhu was only five years of minor treatment and ten years of major treatment.

It must be admitted that Kangxi was a shrewd military strategist and politician with a unique vision.

Translating the words of the old emperor, it is actually the ancient version of three parts military and seven parts politics!

Ten years of great rule?

Hehe, this is not in line with Yuzhu's fundamental interests.

If the banditry has not been eliminated for ten years, how can Yuzhu interfere with Kowloon to seize the heir?

However, one thing is very clear. Even Kangxi came to the conclusion that it was impossible to extinguish the banditry in western Hunan with the help of Hunan's green battalion troops.

Food must be eaten one bite at a time. Yuzhu came with the new army and artillery armor, so he did not need to rely on the green battalion soldiers from Hunan.

According to bad customs in the officialdom, the first seven days after a new governor takes office is the time to deal with personal matters, and he neither sees guests nor does business.

However, Yuzhu was not in a hurry, but Errente was so anxious that smoke was rising from his throat.

The suppressing soldiers are not ordinary soldiers and horses, but the best soldiers among the best soldiers, and the strongest army among the strong armies.

As the saying goes, poor mountains and bad waters bring out unruly people.

When the Zhenjun soldiers fought, they were not afraid of death. Even in the pre-Ming Dynasty, they were among the best tiger and wolf soldiers in the country.

It's a pity that the commander-in-chief of Zhenyu Town drank the soldiers' blood for a long time and exploited them so much that he provoked a mutiny.

Now, the rebellious Zhenyu soldiers not only detained the Zhenyu town's general soldier, but also arrogantly shouted that they would ask the court to carry the money to redeem the people.

Zhou Quan took the name card handed over by Erlente and said to Yuzhu with a smile: "Dong Weng, I'm afraid Erlente is so anxious that he can't even wait seven days?"

Since leaving the capital, Zhou Quan was afraid of letting slip, so he no longer called Yuzhu Master, but changed to Dong Weng.

Yuzhu smiled indifferently and said: "Hey, Errente is so imminent."

"Dong Weng, as a student, why don't you let him dry for an hour?" Zhou Quan gently shook the folding fan and made a very reasonable suggestion.

Admiral Er is extremely anxious. What should Yuzhu be anxious about?

Banditry is not new today, it has existed for hundreds, even thousands of years.

Moreover, if Yuzhu had not come to Hunan, the banditry in western Hunan would probably continue to exist for hundreds of years.

"According to you, how about you let him go for an hour?" Yuzhu and Zhou Quan looked at each other and smiled, then ignored Erlente.

Yuzhu neither beat nor scolded him, but just let Erlente sit on the bench in the concierge of Fu Yamen.

Faced with this kind of cold violence from his boss, to be honest, Erlente really had no choice at all.

Yuzhu kept his word. He sipped the fragrant tea and chatted with Zhou Quan for an hour before calling Erlente in.

After being exposed to cold violence, Erunte suddenly became good-behaved. After entering the house, without saying a word, he bowed and said respectfully: "Admiral of Huguang, I would like to sign up for Erunde. Please be safe, Lord Fujun."

Yuzhu said with a smile: "Admiral, you are too polite. Please sit down. Come and serve tea."

After the tea was served, Erlente said impatiently: "Master Fu Jun, the military situation in Phoenix is ​​urgent. Please send troops quickly to help Phoenix..."

Erlente complained a lot about his sufferings, with one purpose: to ask Yuzhu to send troops immediately to rescue the commander-in-chief of Zhenyun who was in danger.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yuzhu secretly found it funny, Erlente was bullying him for not knowing the military situation in Hunan, right?

"Admiral Er, how did I hear that Zhang Bangsheng, the commander-in-chief of Zhenyu, was too greedy and drank a lot of soldiers' blood, which led to the rebellion?" Yuzhu picked up the tea cup and asked Erlente slowly.

There has been a mutiny, and paper cannot cover the fire!

Erlente was speechless for a moment. He did not dare to say in front of Yuzhu that Zhang Bangsheng did not embezzle the soldiers' food and wages.

After all, Erlente also had a share of the black money Zhang Bangsheng made.

Zhou Quan, who was on the side, shook his head secretly. If an incompetent person like Erlent is allowed to serve as the admiral of the Green Camp of a province, is it possible that there is no one under his banner?

Seeing that Erunte did not dare to defend Zhang Bangsheng, Yuzhu said coldly: "If I remember correctly, you have more than 20,000 troops under your command, Admiral Er, right? Why don't you personally lead the army?"

, how about going to rescue Phoenix?"

"This..." Erlente was originally a man who was greedy for life and afraid of death. Because of the support of his patrons, he sat on the throne of Huguang Admiral. Where has he ever fought in a war?

Of course, what's more important is that the powerful suppressing soldiers are causing trouble.

With more troops under Erlente's command, the rebels can be calmly retreated to Guizhou or Sichuan.

If so, with fewer soldiers, I'm afraid there will be no return!

Erlente's silence completely exposed the fact that the bannermen gradually lost their martial spirit.

The banditry in Xiangxi is inextricably linked to its special terrain at the junction of three or even four provinces.

For example, if more troops are sent to Hunan, the bandits will not fight head-on with the powerful government troops, but will temporarily hide in Guizhou, Huguang or Sichuan.

No matter how large the number of officers and soldiers is, they cannot always stay in the Xiangxi area. This is also an important factor in the continuous banditry.

Of course, due to the special nature of the Qing government where a few ruled over the majority, they did not dare to mobilize the common people to suppress the bandits together. This was the core fundamental.

"Admiral, since you don't dare to lead troops to encircle and suppress the army, you should go back and rest." Yuzhu picked up the teacup but did not drink it.

Wu Jiang, who was waiting on the side, immediately shouted loudly: "Send off the guests!"

Errente had no choice but to walk away in disgrace.

Early the next morning, Yuzhu took a boat to Shuiluzhou.

Shuiluzhou is rich in oranges.

According to past memories, Yuzhu came to a place full of orange trees, looked up, and was speechless for a long time.

Finally, Yuzhu took the wine bottle and poured three glasses of wine in a row.

The first cup is for heaven. The second cup is for earth. The third cup is for great men!

At this time, Shuiluzhou had nothing but orange trees and a few thatched huts of fishermen.

However, Yuzhu's heart was filled with turbulence and strong feelings.

Zhou Quan saw something strange about Yuzhu, but he never imagined that Yuzhu was commemorating the great achievements of a certain great man!

Before leaving, following Yuzhu's instructions, Shuiluzhou was renamed: Orange Island!

As for the popular song "Qinyuanchun·Changsha", Yuzhu would not dare to recite it in public no matter what.

There is no way, in the current era of literary inquisition, once this great poem by a great man is exposed, no matter how stupid Kangxi is, he will still curse: "reckless heart!"

After returning to the city, just in time for lunch, Yuzhu found a restaurant and ordered a special dish: braised pork.

Yuzhu specifically asked the store owner, speaking very carefully.

"...Put the chopped meat into a pot under cold water...after the aroma explodes, pour in the stir-fried pork belly pieces and stir-fry evenly, then cook in Shaoxing wine, add rock sugar...use high heat to reduce the juice, the soup is almost reduced

When cleaning, add a little sea sausage powder and stir-fry evenly before taking it out of the pan. Remember, do not add soy sauce.”

Zhou Quan asked Yuzhu with some confusion: "Why don't I know how to cook braised pork?" He is a famous gourmet.

Yuzhu smiled slightly and said, "This is Mao's braised pork, it's extremely delicious."

After Mao's braised pork was brought to the table, Zhou Quan ate five pieces in a row and couldn't help but admired: "It's fat but not greasy, sweet and delicious, wonderful!"

Yuzhu turned his head and looked in the direction of Orange Island, secretly making up his mind, even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!
