Five hundred and fiftieth chapters Fu Bo enlightened understanding
The sun was shining brightly, and it already brought a lot of burning sensation to people. Craftsmen and strong men in coarse cloth were picking up the broken stone rails and debris, and the guards were also pushing carts back to the camp.
Surrounded by officials, Su Lu frowned.
The fight between the Taixi people and the British people was certainly not a bad thing for the Han country, but how to profit from it had to be calculated carefully back home.
He ordered Dong Ling to tell several generals:
"The Staff Office immediately convened a military meeting between the generals and staff to discuss our attitude towards this Western War, how we can profit from it, or whether we can get a real powerful crossbow from it. There are still some technical differences between us and the Westerners.
A small gap.”
Dong Ling presented a document: "This is the letter of credence from the Taixi people asking us to fulfill our original promise, asking us to send out troops immediately to attack the British retreat."
Su Lu read it over briefly: "Promise them, as for whether to send troops and when to send troops, this will be discussed. The Staff Office will discuss and formulate regulations on how to maximize our country's interests in this war."
Dong Ling bowed to accept the order and gave some instructions to several generals. Some of them were a little stunned, but they still accepted the order, turned around, got on the wooden wheel cart, and returned to the capital.
After watching the wooden wheel carriage, it was time for Su Lu to go back and board the carriage. Su Lu leaned against the carriage and closed his eyes in deep thought.
State affairs were busy, and he had many things to deal with. Li Qing was pregnant, and he became more and more indifferent to government affairs. Even if he went to court occasionally, he would give up after hearing half of it.
Now Su Lu not only has to pay attention to the promotion of these new tools, but also handles government affairs and promulgates state affairs.
Fortunately, the severe drought in Shazhou has passed. According to reports submitted by local officials, the green crops in the fields are growing very well, and this year should be a bumper harvest.
A pair of soft hands pinched his shoulders, gently and gently, making Su Lu let out a light sigh.
I didn’t bring the maid with me when I came out today. When did the woman come to the carriage?
"Your Majesty, this is a new massage technique that I learned from Commander Chang Ning. Chang Ning studied under the miraculous doctor Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu's massage techniques are unparalleled in the capital."
Dong Ling's voice came from behind.
Su Lu opened his eyes after hearing this and patted Dong Ling's hand, indicating that she didn't need to press it anymore.
"You are the staff general, not the imperial physician. There is no need to do these things. If you take good care of the staff office, I will feel comfortable enough."
When Dong Ling heard this, his smile was as bright as a flower: "The Staff Office has just been established, and the grade you gave me, Your Majesty, is too low. With the Staff Office, you will not be the only one to rely on in future wars. The staff generals can coordinate with the dispatched generals.
Participate in the formulation of strategies and tactics to pave the way for war."
"Three people form a conspiracy and five people form a formation. What's more, the staff office is full of generals who have experience in battle formations. It will be much easier for generals to fight in the future."
Su Lu nodded. Dong Ling's eyes had never let him down. With her in charge of the staff office, he felt relieved.
"Your Majesty, the magistrate of Hebei County asked to see him. He said that the gentry in the county had taken advantage of it and said that the stone track broke the feng shui and ruined the terrain. They wanted to file a lawsuit against the Ministry of Industry for occupying the land and destroying houses, which ruined the feng shui of their ancestral graves.
."
Su Lu was a little annoyed. He didn't expect that these gentry would actually jump out and cause trouble because of Feng Shui.
"Dong Ling, I'll give you a task."
Dong Ling responded with a smile: "Your Majesty, just give me your orders, I promise to subdue these gentry."
Su Lu shook his head: "I don't need their submission. These people are local bullies. It's impossible to say that some of them have the lives of tenant farmers. You can take the Dingxiang Guards to deal with it and let them experience the power of the imperial iron fist."
sharp."
"There is also this county magistrate. I have written to him a long time ago, instructing him to suppress the local tyrants and evil gentry. Since he can't do it, he should go home and plant sweet potatoes. If he is an official and does not make decisions for the people, then he should go home and plant sweet potatoes."
Dong Ling burst into laughter, "Your Majesty is indeed a master of poetry. His casual words are quite charming."
…
Wuli Village, Western Liaoning.
Uncle Fu was sitting in front of a stone table in his yard. There were two black porcelain bowls on the table. The bowls were filled with hot boiled sweet potatoes. The dark red skin was close to the warm yellow flesh, which looked like a layer.
Layers of sweetness.
Ah'er came in from outside with his clothes on, "Master, Li Zheng won't come here. He said there is another war outside Jiameng Pass. The county government has sent documents to various places, asking us to beware of spies from the Taixi and Yingte people."
."
With that said, Ah Er sat down in front of the stone table, took a sweet potato and broke it open. The fragrant smell filled the air along with the escaping heat, and the yard was filled with the smell of food.
Uncle Fu knocked the pipe pot on the table and put it aside. He also picked up a sweet potato, broke it open, and took a bite.
"Is there a war again? Has the county government drafted a document to recruit veterans to the battlefield?"
"Ah Er, if there is really a call, you don't have to care about me, just go to the battlefield."
Ah Er laughed bitterly:
"Grandpa, you are overthinking. Neither of us will be able to go to the battlefield. A few days ago, the General Staff Office has issued a document to the various guards to no longer recruit sergeants who have only sons in the family. Both of us are now rejected by the guards.
Already."
When Uncle Fu heard this, his eyes widened in astonishment, "When did such a military regime come about? Isn't this a fool's errand? We in western Liaoning have fought many times, and not many people have survived. Anyone who has a child at home is considered lucky.
, if we don’t recruit these people, how can there be anyone available for the imperial court.”
"No, I have to go to General Li Lu and say, Your Majesty, after all the hard work, finally defeated us in Liaoxi, but we can't let these bastard officials cause trouble again."
Ah Er grabbed Fu Bo with a wry smile on his face:
"Master, you are still such an impatient person. How could such a big event not go through the prince? This must have been approved by the prince."
"What kind of place is the General Staff Office? It is the military office set up by the prince. It is a place dedicated to fighting wars. The General Staff Office has the right to give advice on military strategies and the deployment of sergeants."
Uncle Fu sat down after hearing this: "Your Majesty did it, so it's okay. Your Majesty, he has all the plans and is invincible. He must have considered us, old guys like us, by giving such an order."
."
Ah Er sneered: "Master, you can't take all the good things on your shoulders. If you don't let your only son join the army, why do you say that you are considered?"
Uncle Fu's eyes widened, "Why don't you think about me and you? I only have you as my son. If you go to the battlefield, who will take care of me until I die?"
"Old man Yang from the former village told me yesterday that he was going to the Wei Mansion to file a complaint. Hao Laosan from their village occupied the front line of his house. He couldn't beat Hao Laosan with his old arms and legs, so he could only count on the Wei Mansion.
Come and make the decision for him."
"If Old Man Yang had a son about the same size as you, Hao Laosan would dare to try it. It's not because he saw Old Man Yang alone and his son died on the battlefield that he dared to be so bold."
Uncle Fu slapped the table, and the sweet potatoes in his hand were flattened.
