Chapter 773 New Army

The meeting ended with Prince Rui's iron-fisted declaration.

The relevant rectification actions were unified and presided over by Hubei Governor Zheng Dajin.

According to Prince Rui's request, the issue of troop surrender and disorderly conduct should be handled internally.

That is, the surrendered generals in the adjacent garrison area are responsible for dealing with colleagues who are unwilling to come to the meeting. The Eight Banners and Green Camp in nearby areas cooperate with the blockade, but do not directly participate in the operation.

Firstly, it gives the surrendered generals who come to the meeting an opportunity to perform meritorious service. Secondly, it improves cohesion and loyalty points. Thirdly, it also gives a look at the combat effectiveness of these surrendered troops.

The reduced generals who need to enforce military discipline mainly include Song Xing, the garrison of Fang County, Ma Yunlong, the garrison of Suizhou, Guo Yikui, the garrison of Dangyang, Ma Guoquan, the garrison of Guizhou, and Lu Xiong, the garrison of Guizhou.

Some of these soldiers have a large number of nearly 2,000 people, while some with a small number of soldiers only have 300 or 400 people.

Under the principle of fragmentation and blockade, as long as they move quickly enough, this group of people has basically no chance of resisting.

If the troops responsible for the operation cannot clear it out immediately, the surrounding green battalions will immediately intervene.

The relevant orders have been notified to Zu Yingyuan, the admiral of Huguang, and Wang Deyong, the admiral of Shaanxi.

Zheng Dajin demanded that drastic measures be taken against the nine subordinates who had surrendered, that is, all officers should be executed, soldiers with evil deeds should be punished, and those with ordinary circumstances should be dismissed on the spot.

In the face of the general trend, the generals and generals who surrendered have the same position, expressing their obedience to the relevant arrangements of Prince Rui. From now on, they will resolutely obey the leadership of Prince Rui, abide by the law, and will never prey on the people. At the same time, they will supervise each other to ensure regional stability and public security maintenance, and to realize the realization of Huguang

contribution to the reunification of the region.

Overall, the meeting achieved unity.

After arranging the relevant work, Lao Zheng was ready to report to Prince Rui to see what needed to be added and what needed special attention. If not, he asked Prince Rui to issue it with his seal. On the way, he met the Minister of Internal Affairs Niu Lunbao.

The latter pulled Governor Zheng aside, frowned slightly and said, "What Prince Rui said at the meeting just now was inappropriate."

"inappropriate?"

Lao Zheng didn't know what the inner minister meant.

Nu Lunbao whispered: "The thief will vote for the imperial court in the future, not Prince Rui. When will Prince Rui represent the imperial court?"

"this?"

Old Zheng's heart tightened, and he also realized that there was something wrong with what Prince Rui had just said in the meeting place. He asked those who were interested to report it back to the court and spread it to the ears of the emperor, fearing that it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Prince Rui is still too young and does not know the importance. As court ministers, you and I still have to take more responsibilities and report to the court more often. Otherwise, if something happens in the future, it will be difficult for you and me to take care of ourselves.

"

Nurenbao's expression looked quite interesting.

Lao Zheng will be 70 years old next year. After becoming a Jinshi in the first year of Qianlong's reign, he served as a county magistrate, a prefect, a magistrate, an inspector, and a chief minister. It can be said that he was an official who rose up step by step from the grassroots level.

How could he not know what the chamberlain meant?

I couldn't help but sigh secretly.

There are only two people before and after the General Wang in this dynasty. The previous General Wang, the Fourteenth Master, met a tragic end, but we don’t know what the current situation will be like in the future.

But the most important thing at this time was to quickly quell the Huguang bandit rebellion. Prince Rui's preferential treatment and appeasement methods were very effective. Although the quality of the bandit troops who came to surrender was uneven, it effectively disintegrated the bandit rule and dampened their arrogance.

Lay the foundation for the next strategic attack.

Therefore, if something happens to Prince Rui at this time, it is almost like destroying the Great Wall.

Therefore, he didn't take the Interior Minister's reminder a bit seriously, and he didn't really think about rushing to Prince Rui's office with the documents.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Prince Rui sitting there eating, and the people at the same table were all the prince's personal guards.

A group of people were either eating with rice bowls or sipping soup. They seemed to have no hierarchies at all, just like visiting relatives during the New Year.

"Old Zheng, have you eaten? Come sit down and have some together."

Jia Liu naturally ordered Baozhu to serve a bowl of rice to the governor.

The meal is very simple, four dishes and one soup.

A bowl of braised pork, a bowl of braised large intestine, a bowl of braised herring, and a bowl of spicy chicken.

The soup is green vegetable and tofu soup.

With vegetables and soup, the price here in Zhongxiang is less than 200 yuan.

Compared with the identity of the general king, it can be said to be extremely simple.

Lao Zheng, however, was a bit unable to integrate into this kind of scene, and it was quite embarrassing to stand there.

When Jia Liu saw this, he did not embarrass the governor. He put down the bowl and stood up, wiped his mouth with a towel, walked to the desk and motioned for Lao Zheng to sit down and talk.

"There is no place for a lower official to sit in front of the prince."

Lao Zheng is a typical civil servant and very disciplined.

"In terms of status, I am the prince, and you are the governor, so you have your own dignity. In terms of actual situation, you are a comrade who stirs up trouble in the pot. If this time I am defeated in the rebellion, or die on the front line, you

I’m afraid Lao Zheng’s head can’t be saved.”

Jia Liu took out a bag of tea leaves from the drawer, squeezed some into the teapot, and then poured a bowl of tea for Zheng Dajin himself.

"Actually, even if I don't tell you, Lao Zheng, you should understand that you can continue to be the governor. It's me who spoke for you in the court."

This is the truth. Lao Zheng quickly bowed and thanked Prince Rui.

"Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, thank the people. If the people hadn't said that you, Zheng Dajin, are a good official, I, the king, who has no connection with you, would protect you after being full and full?"

Jia Liu smiled and handed the tea bowl to Lao Zheng, "Sit down and talk. After all, you are almost seventy, and I can't bear for you to stand like this."

Seeing that the prince was talking about this, Zheng Dajin couldn't resist, so he slowly sat down, opened his briefcase and handed over the documents.

Jia Liu glanced at it and was basically satisfied. He nodded and said: "Let's handle this matter like this. Catch those who deserve to be arrested and kill those who deserve to be killed. In troubled times, heavy codes are used."

After saying that, he took out his Great General King's Seal from the drawer on the other side and stamped it on it with a bang.

Meetings, seals, and signatures are the favorites of those in power, and Jia Liu is no exception.

After putting away the documents stamped by Prince Rui, Zheng Dajin hesitated and put forward some opinions.

It's still a matter of surrendering the troops.

The governor of Hubei believed that even if this group of surrendered generals would no longer act recklessly, they would be a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, harboring filth and people's evil practices, and had low combat effectiveness, making them really embarrassing.

We may not dare to commit major illegal and criminal acts, but we cannot prohibit sneaking around and disturbing the people.

After hearing this, Jia Liu nodded and said: "Since ancient times, when we have been marching in the army, the failure to give orders is the reason for the collapse. Long-term laxity is the basis of weakening. It is the taboo of the military to tolerate people's feelings. Let's do this. I will issue another military order.

When a brave soldier disturbs a village, the local people are allowed to identify the brave soldier and accuse him according to the truth, or he can be sent to the prison for investigation and prosecution. If there is any concealment, the crime will be increased to one level."

But here, even the Eight Banners and the Green Camp are included.

Zheng Dajin immediately felt relieved after hearing this. The Prince Rui in front of him was as young as the minister Niulunbao said, but he was not ignorant. At least he could listen to Jin's advice, learn lessons, and sincerely serve.

For the sake of the people, he can also deal with things with drastic measures and ruthless actions. This alone is enough for him to be qualified for the post of general king.

At this time, I saw the young prince across from me, somewhat blaming himself: "I have done a lot of bad things in the past, so I surrendered generals and troops, so I should be blamed for them. I also have some places where I failed to take care of myself, so I should punish myself like this, right?"

, I will fine myself one-tenth of my salary and hand it over to the camp office as a warning to the whole army."

"Your Majesty!"

Zheng Dajin was deeply moved and subconsciously stood up to praise Prince Rui, but was stopped by Jia Liu, who said with a sense of inquiry: "Even so, it is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Therefore, after much thought, I am planning to reorganize these surrendered troops into a new army

, I wonder what Lao Zheng wants?"
