The fourth day of the first lunar month.
The Duke of Qin’s Mansion was different from the hustle and bustle of people in the past. Although there were also carriages arranged outside the mansion, those who came down from the carriages were not the civil officials in the past, but were all generals familiar to the people.
The great victory of Fangshan, the great victory of Beijing, the great victory of northern Mo, the great victory of southern Mo...
The great victory also created one after another that took advantage of the situation.
People's worship of the strong is an instinct that imprints deep in their bloodlines, not to mention the border areas such as the border of Beijing and Ji.
Duke of Qin, as well as the Marquis of Huaian under his command, the Marquis of Polu, the Marquis of Zhongyi, Rushan, Su Yibo, etc., many other generals who are good at fighting.
In these places, it has long been famous, including cities, villages, restaurants and inns. The man can't brag about a few major events.
Especially when the war between Monan and Liaodong, the civilians who participated in it did not suffer much damage under Li Xiu's strict defense of the food road. They were proud of their military power, but instead had a lot of experience, coupled with the strict military discipline in the army.
This adds a bit of boasting capital.
Some of the down-and-out literati specialize in making a living by making a living, without hesitation and rich inspiration, portraying these great victoryes as story books and drama books, which made the Duke of Qin and many generals under his command become more prosperous in the northern border.
As for the slander of the gentry, it is impossible to block the long mouth in this northern border, and it is difficult to achieve results.
Nowadays, there are even many people in the northern border, and their homes are enshrined in the Qin Duke’s longevity sign, which means protecting the country and protecting the people and protecting peace.
In the Polu Mountain in Fangshan, a large-scale Duke Temple was built, which was worshipped inside, which was exactly the way Li Xiu stood on Polu Mountain with his horse and his sword.
Nowadays, under the glory and word of mouth among the people, it is naturally added with a bit of mystery.
That Duke Temple was in full bloom, and people even traveled thousands of miles to worship.
This made Li Xiu smile bitterly. He was still in his prime, and the tomb began to be built, and even was worshipped on the desk. This really made Li Xiu not know whether he should be sad or happy.
But he naturally would not stop these spontaneous behaviors of the people. As for the official behaviors of some prefectures and counties, they were all forced to stop them.
"Mr. Marquis, please!"
At the gate of the mansion, shouts kept ringing, including Wu Xun who worked in the capital, and some were arranged by Li Xiu to work in other places, and now they are specially rushing back to Beijing.
Of course, this was not to deliberately rush back to show off, but Li Xiu ordered that except for a very small number of key places, people must be kept in custody, the rest of the martial arts heroes from all over the country were ordered to return to the capital to report their duties.
Of course, for Li Xiu, the most important thing is naturally not to report his duties. Summoning all generals is to unify his will and reveal his determination. The army is to provide a guarantee, and there is no problem.
The generals sat upright, and the food and drinks had been served. It was half a year since we were farewell. Now we saw each other again, and it was noisy.
However, as Li Xiu came, the noise came to an abrupt end.
The so-called unification of will is naturally to prepare for the big moves planned by Li Xiu during this year.
Ventilate in advance so that the generals under your command can be mentally prepared to know what to do and what not to do, so as not to catch yourself off guard and avoid the knife slashing at your own people.
Those who can be summoned naturally have been tested and are useful in Li Xiu's heart.
In this case, there is no big concern.
The word "financial taxation" was also the first time that it was heard from Li Xiu's mouth that came into the ears of these big and thick-bodied men.
"Don't worry, General, who dares to object, I'm the first to chop him!"
"Yes, I promise, there will be no problem!"
"Damn, I have long been disgusted with those pretentious guys. You don't know that when I took office this time, those turtle guys have caused me a lot of trouble, mom..."
"General, don't worry, as long as you give an order, if they dare to yell, I promise to send their whole family to see the King of Hell!"
"Yes, those tycoons in Jiangnan are so damn bad. They even threatened me, saying that they wanted to impeach me, damn, if you didn't let me restrain you, you really want to draw your sword and chop those guys..."
As soon as the words came, the hall suddenly became hustle and bustle. These generals who had not yet formed an interest group but were also excluded by local interest groups, suddenly started to yell.
"Okay, okay, don't keep clamoring. Don't underestimate these people. When I was assassinated with the emperor, I almost failed!"
"The rabbit is anxious and bites people, let alone paying money from someone's pocket. You are all ready after you go back this time."
"I am saying ugly things in front of you. I will give you all the things I should give you. At that time, if anyone makes a fuss, don't blame me for not being missed with the old love!"
"Also, what I said to you today is limited to this room. What should I say and what should not be said, I should not emphasize it..."
At this point, Li Xiu raised his glass of wine: "Okay, let everyone come here today, just look through the bottom of it. Next, you should eat and drink..."
The silence in the hall also returned to the hustle and bustle with Li Xiu's words.
The day was noisy and it was not until dusk that it returned to peace. The generals left the mansion one after another, and there were only a few people left.
The Marquis of Dehuo Xu Feng, the Marquis of Rushan Yan Shun, the Marquis of Huaian Zhou Yuji, the Marquis of Zhongyi Zhao Wu, the Governor of Denglai, and the Suyi Bolu Xiangsheng.
"Come here."
Watching the generals leave, Li Xiu waved to the few people and then walked towards the study room in the backyard of the mansion.
Several people looked at each other, but without saying a word, they followed closely.
"I just said that finance and taxation are things that must be solved no matter what, but to solve the fiscal and taxation problems, there must be a relatively stable internal and external situation."
As he spoke, Li Xiu also turned around and looked at the map of the Ming Dynasty in front of him, the two capitals and thirteen provinces, every major transportation road, every strategic location, and even every prosperous and prosperous place, where the signs were found.
Each sign means a layout of Li Xiu, the layout of the Jinyiwei and the garrison.
All arrangements are like a large net, covering the entire Ming Dynasty.
There is no doubt that as long as this big net is strong enough, all storms will be suppressed by this Tianluo and Earth net.
However, the nodes he created by himself, such as the Jing Army, Jizhen, Xuanfu, and the current Liaodong garrison, are naturally strong, but other garrisons in various places in the Ming Dynasty are naturally insufficient.
What to do next is naturally very clear.
"Jizhen controls Mongolia, with one hand big stick and the other sweet dates. I don't need to say what to do."
"In Liaodong, Zhao Wu and Lu Xiangsheng, you two, Shanhaiguan is the main guard and Denglai Dongjiang is the main attacker. The same thing is said, I don't ask for much results, but the situation must be maintained."
"The imperial court is unable to provide large-scale relief in the civil unrest in Shaanxi and Sichuan. Zhou Yuji, you can grasp it yourself. I only have one requirement. Civil unrest can occur, but we must definitely control the situation and not let it become a big deal!"
"The Beijing Army Fenwu Camp allocated you, and the troops in Datong of Xuanfu are almost 40,000. In a few days, you will be appointed as the governor of the three sides and govern all the military towns on the three sides. In the Xuanfu, there will be other people. If you still can't keep the situation stable, then go back to the capital to retire!"
Compared to the kindness of the other people, the words of Zhou Yuji and Li Xiuzhi were obviously much more severe.
Zhou Yuji defeated the bandits. Although his military achievements were good, the rising civil unrest was obviously not meeting Li Xiu's expectations.
Of course, this is also related to the difficulty of cooperation between the guest troops and prefectures and counties, which is also considered objective factors. Otherwise, Li Xiu would have been dismissed and replaced.
"Don't worry, General, the last general will never let down the general's expectations!"
Zhou Yuji also made an immediate guarantee.
"No need to guarantee anything. You have never read books. There has never been a reform in all dynasties. It is calm. You will not be unable to see how many people have benefited this time..."
After saying a few words, Li Xiu shook his head: "At that time, the world will be in chaos!"
With emotion, Li Xiu seemed to remember something and turned around and looked at Yan Shun beside him:
"Yan Shun, you are also ready. After a while, you and the Duke of England will form a patrol team and lead a battalion of troops to inspect the military family of the World Guards."
"I will obey the order!"
Li Xiu was a little tired and looked at the people in front of him: "I won't leave you here. You can grasp the troublesomeness yourself. If you hold on, you will be a smooth road and you can't get through..."
As for this, Li Xiu waved his hand and said nothing more, but just signaled the few people to leave.
...
"King Lu Yan, you read a lot. Tell me, what does the general mean when he said that he couldn't stand it?"
As soon as he left the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Wu couldn't help asking Lu Xiangsheng.
Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Zhao Wu speechlessly. He couldn't imagine how this guy with a stubborn mind lived to this day. What puzzled him the most was that this guy was still very passionate and became a marquis!
Lu Xiangsheng was just an earl. If he had not been given the important task of Denglai this time, he would have no difference from the generals who had just left.
"If you can't hold on, then overthrow the world. Let's follow the general and create another world!"
The second child is careless and doesn't care.
Hearing this, Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Shun couldn't help but thrust the corners of their mouths. One was lawless and the other had a stubborn mind. What kind of colleagues are these!
"Then aren't we founding the country..."
Zhao Wu's eyes shone, but before he could finish his words, Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Shun blocked his mouth.
Outside the Duke's mansion, a whimper suddenly sounded. Zhao Wu, the Marquis of Zhongyi of the Ming Dynasty, was covered by his colleagues' mouth and stuffed into the carriage...
