Chapter 176 Zhenbei Hou Mansion
Under Zhu Youjian's arrangement, this Zhenbei Hou Mansion was arranged very appropriately.
For example, the housekeeper, servant, maid, and even the chef in the palace, everything was arranged and selected by Zhu Youjian himself, and all rules and regulations were strictly implemented in accordance with the rules and regulations in the palace.
In this case, it is obvious that Zhu Youjian is worried that someone will do dirty things. After all, if you can't deal with it head on, there will always be people who are willing to take risks.
Li Xiuben also had this concern, so he sent his personal guards to the mansion in advance to check for hidden dangers. However, when he learned about Zhu Youjian's careful arrangements, Li Xiu became much more at ease.
With this arrangement, coupled with the dozens of personal guards who were in charge of his own, not to mention the location of this mansion, it basically eliminated the emergence of most hidden dangers.
The mansion should have everything, and after arrangement, the wine and food were served quickly.
But what made all the generals feel a little uncomfortable was that there was a group of graceful maids who came with the wine and food. The maids were obviously trained to stand beside each other with wine pots, obviously waiting with them.
"Let them step down first, butler, you go down first."
Li Xiu waved his hand and signaled the maids and servants to retreat.
But when he saw the generals' unmovable eyes, he couldn't help but smile: "Okay, okay, when the matter is over, I will choose it myself. If you like it, take it back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the few people suddenly lit up, and Erwazi smiled even more, with expectant faces on her face. Zhou Yuji Yanshun was obviously much more restrained.
"The war has been fought, and in a short period of time, it is unlikely that a large-scale war will occur."
"So, the current focus is to consolidate the army!"
"You three are particularly important. You don't need to say much, Yan Shun, you have to pay attention to the Yongweiying camp!"
"Don't worry, General, the last general will never let down the general's expectations!"
Yan Shun immediately stood up and responded seriously.
Li Xiu waved his hand and signaled him to sit down. The rules of the Yongwei Camp were completed, and Xiao Guicao followed, and there would basically be no problems.
"The ones with the heaviest mission are you two now."
At this time, Li Xiucai looked at Erwazi and Zhou Yuji: "The two major towns of Xuanfu in Jizhen, after this battle, they are all in a mess. Of course, there are also benefits of being in a mess..."
"But no matter what, you two have a heavy burden. In addition to reorganizing and strengthening the army, you two also need to pay attention to the grassland. If there are any abnormal movements, report them immediately."
"I have prepared the staff for you, each of whom will take office with a thousand elite troops! What should I do? I don't need to teach you for so long in Yongwei Camp. As for food, grass and military pay, you don't need to worry about it. You will prepare it for you on time."
"Give each of you a year. In a year, I will go to the inspection myself. If it is unusable at that time, don't blame me as a general for being ruthless!"
As soon as this said, the two of them immediately stood up and promised.
And then, naturally, the arrangement of specific things.
Li Xiu naturally had great expectations for Ji Town and Xuanfu, two border towns adjacent to the capital.
Xuanfu itself had six battalions of troops, about 20,000, but after the battle of the Jin Dynasty, all the elite troops were destroyed, and now it is a waste of time.
According to his plan, Xuanfu naturally wanted to restore the previous staffing, and it was full of staff.
As for rectifying city defenses and repairing fortresses, there is no need to say much about these matters. The key point is to the soldiers and generals.
The best defense is offense!
In Li Xiu's view, instead of spending a lot of resources to defend, it is better to do your best to do your best in one battle! Completely eliminate future troubles!
As for the future... with the development of science and technology in the times, the people on the grassland will change from killing people to singing and dancing.
The same is true in Jizhen, but compared with Xuanfu, Jizhen's plate is undoubtedly much bigger!
You should know that at the peak of Jizhen, there were more than 100,000 soldiers and generals, which was the number one important town on the nine sides. Although I am lonely now, the plate is still so big.
Today's Ming Dynasty cannot afford such a huge plate. Even though there are those rich harvests, it is obvious that the plate is too big and not a good thing before the money cannot be sustainable.
Therefore, Li Xiu did not have any requirement for Jizhen to have full staff, and the Jizhen soldiers and generals had a quota of only 50,000 troops.
Fifty thousand elite troops, 40,000 infantry troops, and 10,000 cavalry troops, can attack and retreat and defend, which is enough to deal with most emergencies.
Of course, in Li Xiu's expectation, Jizhen and Xuanfu could only focus on guarding the situation if nothing unexpected happens. The strategic purpose of the short-term is to avoid the scene in which all internal and external troubles broke out in history.
After all, even though Nurhaci's plunder is now a big victory, the impact it has is too great.
There are too many defeated soldiers and generals who are afraid of the responsibility of defeat and do not dare to return to the team, or occupy the mountain as king, become a bandit, or intervene in a certain rebel army, and transform into a disaster and disaster.
In this war, all the northern parts of the country sent soldiers to serve the king, and under Nurhaci's army, there were almost few teams of soldiers who could maintain complete refinement. Under the influence of the idea of returning to the ground, these retreating soldiers and generals caused hidden dangers to almost spread throughout the northern region.
Not to mention the destruction of the Beijing-Ji area by Nurhaci's army, I don't know how many people are displaced and fall into hell!
The thief chaos that was originally a little peaceful became increasingly unstable after this war. It is completely predictable that the severe thief chaos will soon be severe!
There are Ji Town, Xuanfu, and even Liao Town, which are enough to isolate the Later Jin attempts toward the Central Plains.
In this way, there will be no such thing as whenever civil unrest is about to be put down in history, the Later Jin will come out to make trouble, which will make the battle to suppress the thieves almost endless!
As for the Beijing Camp...
Of course, there is no need to say much. Looking at the past and present, if the center does not have an elite army that is enough to shock the world, then the loneliness of this center is also inevitable.

The discussion was late at night, and Zhou Yuji and others left. Of course, the so-called discussion was just Li Xiu's words, and they could listen and then take office and execute.
Late at night.
Erwazi was already in a hurry to lead a maid into the bed. Li Xiu sat alone in the lobby, siping a sip of wine or two from time to time, frowned, obviously thinking about something.
After a while of this, Li Xiu slowly stood up and looked around at the magnificent Marquis' Mansion. Li Xiu couldn't help but smile.
The boy at that time fantasized about awakening the world and lying on the beautiful woman's knees drunk, but he never expected that in just a few years, this fantasy had become a reality!
Under his leadership, this ancient empire will completely deviate from the track of history and head towards the complete unknown.
"Mr. Marquis, it's late at night. Do you think it's time to rest?"
The butler who was serving outside the hall hesitated for a while, walked up to him and asked in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, Li Xiu looked at the old butler with gray hair in front of him: "What's your name?"
"The little one is Wang, and he is ranked as the fifth in his family, so he is named Wang Wu!"
Wang Wu quickly bowed and responded: "I was originally working in the imperial village. I issued an order in the palace and came to the Marquis's mansion to serve you..."
"Tell me about this mansion, what's going on now?"
Li Xiu nodded, took a step forward, and asked casually.
"Report to the Marquis, there are fifty maids, eighteen singers, carpenters, gardeners, painters, and cooks in the mansion, as well as others such as accounting offices, servants and servants, and servants... There are a total of one hundred and fifty-two people, plus your personal guards, there are fifty-three people..."
"There are so many tenants outside the mansion..."
"There are thousands of acres of fertile land outside the city, three restaurants, two inns, a coal yard, a forest farm, and several hills in the north of the city..."
"These are all good industries that Your Majesty asked to choose from the imperial village. With a small estimate, you can earn at least 6,700 taels of silver every year..."
"The account in the mansion still has more than 7,000 taels of silver left. They are all given by the palace, and the young ones dare not move..."
Listening to these words, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile. His Zhenbei Hou Mansion had just opened, and it had already gathered such a complex interest group. Tens of thousands of people needed to rely on his Hou Mansion to live.
It is conceivable how the wealthy mansions that have been in operation for dozens or hundreds of years are.
In this way, it is completely conceivable why every reform in history is always so powerless when facing the vested interest class! Even if you succeed by chance, why the backlash is always so terrifying and unstoppable!
