Yuzhu walked into the lobby from behind with square steps and stood in front of the big chair.
After scanning the whole place for a week, Yuzhu saw that everyone was respectful and nodded slightly, knowing that it is a good thing to be afraid!
"That's all." Yuzhu gently waved his right arm and sat on the big chair.
After all, Erlente was a first-class military attache. After he stood up, he sat down on the chair to the left of Yuzhu in a very polite manner.
As for the generals, deputy generals, staff generals and guerrillas, how can they have seats in front of Yuzhu?
Hehe, just stand still!
Zhou Quan, who was standing in front of the small table on the right side of Yuzhu, saw the look, picked up the roster of Pian Yuan Green Camp, and began to call names one by one.
"Admiral Lvying, Erlente."
"Here you go." Errent quickly stood up, cupping his fists and cupping his hands, and responded loudly.
"The Chief Military Officer of Yueyang Town..."
"Here's the bid." This person responded directly, which was regarded as being respectful.
"The chief military officer of Yongzhou Town..."
"Here you go." The clever man followed Zha Qian and saluted.
"..."
After the roll call was over, everyone was surprised to find that no one was late and everyone came on time!
Except for the officers from Zhenyu Town, who couldn't come because there was a mutiny going on.
All the officers who were due to arrive have arrived.
"Huh..." Yuzhu clearly felt the sound of exhaling one after another in the lobby.
Hehe, everyone is so nervous, fearing that Yuzhu will take the opportunity to attack and kill people!
Well, knowing that fear is actually a good thing.
Yuzhu is not a murderer, so he has to cut off a few of his subordinates' heads to establish his authority?
"Come here, please come out and give me a sword!"
"Hey." Niu Tai agreed loudly and came out of the back hall, holding the jeweled Yibilong knife high in his hands.
"In response to the emperor's oral order..." Yuzhu stood up and paused deliberately. After all the officers knelt on the floor, he slowly said, "When the military situation is critical, the commander-in-chief and his generals,
Anyone who disobeys orders can be killed immediately!"
"I will obey the Holy Instructions."
After the generals returned to their respective shifts, Yuzhu slowly sat back on the big chair.
At this time, Zhou Quan picked up a notebook at the right time and announced loudly in public: "By order of Lord Fujun, the general soldiers of Yongzhou Town are transferred to temporarily lead the troops to Yueyang Town. The general soldiers of Yueyang Town lead the troops to move to Yongzhou Town...
"
Hunan's Green Camp, in addition to the Fubiao and Tibiao barracks, is divided into four towns under the general military jurisdiction. Each town has a minimum of 5,000 soldiers and a maximum of 8,000.
The strategy adopted by Yuzhu is that the general soldiers of the two towns in the east and the general soldiers of the two towns in the west will temporarily exchange defense zones with their own troops and horses.
Is the biggest problem in suppressing bandits the lack of money and food?
Not really.
Among the bandits, the most troublesome thing is that our own people are secretly passing on information.
What's more, they even dared to let go of the enemy privately and let the bandits escape from the encirclement.
I think back then, after Li Chengliang took office as the commander-in-chief of Liaodong for the second time, he adopted a self-protection strategy of supporting the bandits and respecting themselves, and sat back and watched as the slaves grew stronger step by step.
From the perspective of Li Chengliang's personal interests, it is actually understandable.
However, the rise of Jiannu was extremely harmful to the Ming Dynasty.
Yuzhu didn't have that much time to identify who was secretly colluding with the gang.
Therefore, we simply transferred all the troops from western Hunan and replaced them with troops from eastern Hunan.
"Master Fu Jun, I have something to say." Errent couldn't stand the pressing looks of his subordinates, so he stood up and wanted to raise an objection.
Yuzhu didn't look at Erlente at all, but stared at several general soldiers and asked them coldly: "Don't you want to obey the order?"
It seems to be a casual description, but in fact, it is overflowing with murderous intent!
Who dares to cause death in public?
"I'm following the order."
"I'm following the order."
Several general soldiers were afraid of being punished, so they hurriedly expressed their attitude.
Zhou Quan glanced at the obedient soldiers, and his heart became clear.
Yuzhu only adopted a swap method and did not remove any officers.
This move is really extremely clever!
As the saying goes, a rabbit bites people when it is anxious, let alone the general soldiers who hold military power?
However, Yuzhu did not touch the fundamental interests of Qiu Ba officers.
The commander-in-chief is still the commander-in-chief, and the lieutenant-general is still the lieutenant-general. If we change places, we can still enjoy the food and drink.
Moreover, the eastern part of the province is obviously much richer and has more oil and water than the western part.
Zhou Quan and Yuzhu had already discussed it. If anyone dares to cause a mutiny, hehe, it will be used to sharpen the sword of the new army!
Today, Yuzhu's subordinates, in addition to the 3,000 direct troops of the New Army, also have a 3,000-person Fubiao personal barracks under the jurisdiction of a deputy general.
These six thousand soldiers and horses are enough to suppress mutiny or rebellion in the entire province. Yuzhu is very confident!
Besides, these generals are leading the army outside, while their wives and children are in Changsha City.
As long as they dare to rebel, Yuzhu will dare to raise the butcher's knife and destroy the three other clans first!
In fact, Yuzhu received the same treatment. He was out leading the troops, while Xiuyun and Xiaoxuanyu had to stay in the capital and serve as hostages.
Why didn’t Kangxi want Cao Chun and Xiao Tiechui to be hostages?
Alas, the potential power of the Cao family is simply not worth mentioning. They are just a wife family holding Yuzhu back.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools!
The so-called skill of sharpening a knife and chopping firewood is not important. Yuzhu forced the generals of the four towns to change their defenses. Whether they can fight or not is not important.
At least, the matter of stabbing Yuzhu in the back is almost non-existent.
To put it bluntly, Yuzhu deliberately acted like he wanted to kill people, just to successfully accomplish the important task of swapping.
As long as the smooth exchange is successful, the situation of suppressing bandits in western Hunan will suddenly become clearer.
Officials and bandits secretly collude together. How can the banditry of the cat and mouse family be eliminated?
However, there is still a big gap between agreeing to the swap and being able to carry it out smoothly.
As for the matter of bargaining, as Yuzhu, if he got involved in it, he would probably get his mouth dirty.
After Zhou Quan discussed with several general soldiers, they came up with a preliminary plan.
"Report to Dong Weng, the students promised them that each town will be given 30,000 taels of departure fee in advance. If the officials eat meat, the soldiers should also drink some soup, right?" Zhou Quan said this, which made Yu Zhu laugh.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Yuzhu said with a smile: "You have done a great job and prioritized the tasks. The top priority is to change the defense first, and then cut off the food route in the bandit area."
As Zhou Quan is a confidant, he naturally knows Yu Zhu's plan.
Yuzhu's plan is both simple and ruthless. In a word, it is to cut off the food route to the bandits in western Hunan.
Grain and salt are only allowed out, not in.
There are many benefits to doing this, the most obvious one is that it can force all the good farmers out of the bandit areas.
So many people left the bandit areas and became like refugees, which was a taboo in feudal society.
If Yuzhu was a native of the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely be helpless.
But the problem is, Yuzhu knows very well and is planning to let these people help build bridges, build roads, and dredge water conservancy projects.
Then let the farmers in the rich eastern areas contribute money and grain to offset the corvee service.
In this era, ordinary farmers are not actually worried about taxes such as land taxes.
What can really destroy a farmer's family is the scandalous form of corvee.
The so-called corvee, in layman's terms, means bringing your own food, money and bedding and working for the government for free for three months every year.
These three months, not counting the time spent on the road and back, how terrible is this?
To put it bluntly, if the county masters or government officials want to punish people, they only need to send you to do corvée work in the remote and dangerous areas of western Hunan, and that will be a life-and-death situation.
The terrain of western Hunan is divided into eight parts mountains, one part slopes, and one part fields. For serious farmers, it would be difficult even for a serious farmer to farm in Hukou.
As far as Yuzhu knows, the people there basically eat wild vegetable porridge! Moreover, they only eat dry food when they are busy, and they always eat thin food when they are free.
Often, they only had one thin meal of wild vegetable porridge a day, barely surviving.
After Yuzhu got these poor devils out of the ravine, whether they were building bridges, paving roads, or building canals and dams, they were given a day's work and a day's worth of rice and money.
As for the farmers in the wealthy areas of eastern and southern Hunan, they only need to contribute some money and food to avoid all kinds of suffering, so they are naturally willing to do so.
In addition, the vassal treasury subsidized some money and food, and hey, the refugees from western Hunan became a cheap engineering team.
If you want to be rich, build roads first! Only after roads are built, can you trade better.
If you want to fill your stomach, aqueducts, water storage dams and reservoirs are essential.
In this era without chemical fertilizers, agricultural harvests and water conservancy projects are inseparable.
As long as it operates for more than two years, the situation in Hunan will also open up.
It can be said that you can achieve it with one stroke!
After the big deal was settled, Yuzhu felt relaxed and in a good mood.
Because Pan Zongluo's family records were embarrassing, he had been living in the back office for a long time and had moved out two days ago.
Yuzhu walked around and returned to Houya.
After entering the room and changing out of his official uniform, Yuzhu took a sip of tea and heard Cao Chun say: "Sir, the chief steward of the vassal yamen sent an invitation, saying that it was Wanyan vassal's Eni who was going to be over seventy.
On my birthday, I would like to invite me to come over."
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Wanyan Lu and I cooperate well, so I'll give him this face. When the time comes, you can bring a generous gift."
There is still something to talk about in official circles.
Wanyanlu's biological mother is celebrating her seventieth birthday. If Cao Chun doesn't show up, Wanyanlu will have crazy thoughts.
A few days later, when Cao Chun was about to go out with his little hammer to celebrate his birthday, he heard the concierge calling.
"Madam, Mrs. Fantai has arrived at the door of the house and said she would personally pick you up to have a drink with you."
When Cao Chun heard this, he laughed. Wanyan Lu took the initiative to send his wife to pick her up. She was quite a good person.
Yuzhu and Wanyanlu both need each other's support.
Their two wives also interacted with each other, and it was normal in the officialdom to follow the route of dating wives.
However, Cao Chun, accompanied by the feudal lord's wife, had just appeared in front of the feudal lord's office.
Good guy, I saw a large group of noble ladies with gold hairpins and green hairpins, each according to the rank of their husbands, waiting eagerly.
In the entire Pianyuan Province, Yuzhu is the highest official, and Cao Chun is the first noblewoman.
As the saying goes, the husband is noble and the wife is honored!
