Seeing Han Xiufeng thinking, Cao Shuzhong struck while the iron was hot and said, "Tongzi is different from other prefectures and counties in Guizhou. Tongzi was not transferred to Guizhou until the Yongzheng period. It was always under my jurisdiction in Sichuan. Therefore, most people in Sichuan are in Sichuan, and the customs are all Sichuan, and there is almost no Guizhou flavor!"

"The right time, place, people and people are all occupied, and it is just right to send troops at this time!" Du Xingyuan couldn't help but add.

"Mr. Cao, Du Futai, Xiufeng thought that the matter of sending troops to Loushan Pass still had to be discussed for a long time."

"Why do you have to make a long-term plan?"

Han Xiufeng couldn't say that they were talking on paper, so he could only explain patiently: "It is only more than 200 miles from Anwen Town, the southernmost part of Qijiang to Loushan Pass, and it only takes four or five days to reach the Taiping Year. But today, it is not peaceful. Although Tongzi County has been recovered, bandits are still rising in the countryside, not to mention that Tongzi County has fallen for 130 days before!

If there is no government office in a radius of more than 200 miles and no kingly laws, even a good citizen who is obedient may become lawless. What's more, when Tailor Shu rebelled, he really responded to his words. At most, his subordinates were as high as 20,000, and how many people were there in Tongzi?"

Duan Dazhang reacted and said with a frown, "If you look into it in depth, it is estimated that at least six or seven households in the ten households will have nothing to do with the thieves."

"So Xiufeng felt that if he went deeper alone, he would not only be besieged by the bandits, but he would even be falsely accused by those lawless powerful and evil gentry. He would only be thankless and would only be worth the loss." Han Xiufeng paused and continued: "Besides, the group members are easy to recruit, but recruiting does not mean that they can go into battle. It will take at least two months of practice."

Thinking that Tongzi was Yang Hanxi's nest after all, Cao Shuzhong felt that Han Xiufeng's words made some sense, but he was a little unwilling to give up Loushanguan so much, so he couldn't help asking: "Zhixing, think about it again, is there a better way?"

Han Xiufeng did some homework in his hometown in Zouma Countryside for more than ten days. Seeing Cao Shuzhong and Du Xingyuan trying to make some noise and seek credit from the court, he stood up and said, "Just thinking of Loushan Pass just now, I forgot about Hongguan. Lord Cao, we can send some brave men to guard Hongguan, which is the first dangerous pass to enter Guizhou in Sichuan."

Cao Shuzhong was stunned and then smiled bitterly, "Hongguan is a dangerous place. The ancients said, 'Above Hongguan, it is like climbing the nine heavens, and below the Hongguan, it is like descending to the nine abyss', but it is the old Huangqing calendar. The official roads in Sichuan and Guizhou do not pass there, but instead go from the Hallaya, Hanjiadian, and through the garden, and climb the stream."

"I didn't expect that the adults were so familiar with the mountains and rivers in Guibei. However, after changing the route, the ancient road entering Sichuan was still there. It is said that before the New Year, Yang Hanxi sent hundreds of bandit soldiers to guard Hongguan to prevent the attack of our Sichuan official army. From Xiufeng's perspective, Hongguan not only had to be brave and brave, but also guarded!"

How could Cao Shuzhong not hear Han Xiufeng’s implication? He thought that he could only do this. At worst, he could carefully consider how to write this memorial. After all, the princes and ministers in the court have more or less heard of Hongguan, and the more important Songkan, which is more south and more important, has never heard of it.

Han Xiufeng thought about it and said, "Mr. Cao, Lord Duan, Du Futai, we are now ignorant of the situation in Tongzi, so I think it's better to be cautious. Take steady steps, first send Yong Zhuang to help An Wen, and at the same time send Yong Zhuang to camp in Hongguan and Songkan, first set up camp in these three places, and then practice while inquiring about the thief, and contact local officials in Guizhou. When we have gained a firm foothold and have a clear understanding of the thief, we will make the next plan. What do you two think?"

Before Cao Shuzhong could speak, Duan Dazhang looked up and said, "Zhuge Yisheng is only cautious. Brother Yuruo, Duan thinks that there is nothing wrong with being cautious."

"That's it, but do these three camps need to be divided into primary and secondary?"

"Of course, we need to divide it. Xiufeng thinks that Songkan should be the main one, and the stability is second to Hongguan, and the stability is second to Hongguan." Han Xiufeng thought for a while, and then said: "It is enough to stay in a stable position of five or six hundred bravery. Hongguan is natural danger, and three or four hundred bravery is enough. The remaining three thousand stations in Songkan, guard the 'North Guizhou Gateway'."

Songkan Town is 60 miles away. Sending Yongzhuang to Songkan is the gateway to Qijiang. Thinking of Songkan not only the important transportation route between Sichuan and Guizhou, but also an important water and land terminal for Guizhou local specialties such as Sichuan salt into Guizhou and tea into Sichuan. Wu Junxiang felt that sending Yongzhuang to Songkan is better than Loushan Pass, which is so far away, and he couldn't help but agree: "This plan is very wonderful. Junxiang thought that as long as he could defend Songkan and Hongguan, my Qijiang and even the entire eastern Sichuan would rest easy."

Cao Shuzhong realized that the young Batulu in front of him would never fight a battle that was inconsistent, and said with a decisive note: "Okay, that's it!"

The Taoist said this, and Chongqing magistrate Du Xingyuan couldn't say anything, so he could only smile and said, "Then it's how to recruit young and strong brother Zhixing, you are more capable than us in training and leading troops. We want to hear your superiority."

"There is no question about Gao Jian, but there are some of Asami."

"But it's okay."

"There is no outside here. Shu Xiufeng said bluntly that our Ba County and even our Chongqing Prefecture now have both external and internal troubles. You might as well take this opportunity to take care of both. Xiufeng thought that we could recruit three thousand young and strong people from the two porters of Sichuan Tea who fought twice in three days to make a living, the boatmen stranded at various docks and the Huguang refugees who kept pouring into Ba County."

"This is a good way. Don't they like to fight and cause trouble. Give them some food to go to Guizhou to suppress the thieves and quell the rebellion, so as not to gather here to harm the disaster." Cao Shu and Zhongshen agreed.

Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "The remaining 1,000 recruits from street groups, house groups and township groups in each county. Not only should we recruit the people of the group, but also the supervisors and supervisors. As long as those civil and military supervisors are willing to come, we can not only give them a banner, but also give them the opportunity to make achievements."

Cao Shuzhong wanted to send the leaders of the regiments who were becoming less and less decent and disobeying the government's greetings to Guizhou. He couldn't help but smile: "Since the tree is big and easy to attract wind, we will no longer recruit 'Yu Yong'. Whether it is against the top or outside, we will call the Ba County, Bishan and other places to assist Qijiang in preventing blockades, and then go to Songkan to help fight the thieves and quell the rebellion at the invitation of local officials of Tongzi and even Zunyi Prefecture to go to Songkan to help suppress the thieves and quell the rebellion."

"Will it be a little messy?" Duan Dazhang asked in a low voice.

"Uncle, Xiufeng thought it would be better to be messy, but it sounds more messy, and it would save a lot of trouble in the future." Han Xiufeng paused and said meaningfully: "Four thousand brave men and women can still be thirty or forty regiments, with many names and different banners. It is a great achievement to make this scattered sand "bring" food, salary and weapons to help the officers and soldiers prevent the blockades. Moreover, sending troops like this not only relieves the princes and ministers in the court, but also does not have to worry about the brave men being transferred by a document."

Cao Shuzhong was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh: "This idea is good, but if you do this, won't you be annoyed to death?"

"If you are more annoyed, you are better than raising criticism or making wedding dresses for others."

Han Xiufeng sat down, thought about it and said helplessly: "Xiufeng did this for the scattered halls of the fourteen prefectures and counties in Chongqing Prefecture, and also for the eastern Sichuan. After all, it is not easy to recruit so many brave and strong men. If he ends up in criticism or is transferred to another place to quell the chaos, if something happens in eastern Sichuan, he will want to recruit and train. First, it is too late, and second, where does the food and salary come from? At that time, he can only collect food and waste, and the hardest thing will be the elders of his hometown."

"What Brother Zhixing said is very important. We should put our hometown first in everything." Wu Kuixiang couldn't help but bow.

"Then we will recruit young and strong first, and we will first tell the rank supervisors of the county and company. As long as they have ambitions and are willing to serve the court, they will give them a chance to make achievements. Not only can they come with a banner, but they can also receive a brave group of brave men and women when they come, and they don't have to worry about the weapons, food and wages."

Cao Shuzhong thought for a while, then turned around and smiled, "Brother Du, there are probably many people who want to donate to the civil and military supervisors, but this time it is different from before, so you can only donate in full!"

"Mr. Cao, the officials thought that those leaders of the group wanted to serve under the command of Zhixing, and wanted to make achievements and find a job, and they had to donate enough to the full amount. For example, a charter could be formulated, and only tenth of the 100th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th of the 10th

"Yes, yes, those who didn't donate enough before must donate enough!"

The most shortage of the imperial court now is military pay. Although donations have not been included in the performance appraisal, they are equally important to local officials. Cao Shuzhong thought about it and smiled: "Ambition, since you are not afraid of trouble, you might as well add thirty-four regiments. For example, Ba County, you have to convene more than ten or twenty regiments. It is reasonable to convene a few counties not far from Tongzi to convene a hundred or ten regiments."

One hundred regiments means setting up one hundred supervisors and one hundred regiments, which means having one hundred literary supervisors and one hundred military supervisors.

Thinking that those who want to make achievements must donate enough to do enough, and then they will become the new tutor supervisor. After the tutor's literary and military tutors left, those who want to stay in the local area as supervisors must donate, and they must also donate 100 tutors or 100 tutors first. Han Xiufeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Cao, Xiufeng doesn't care about 100 tutors even if he has three heads and six arms."

"This is easy to deal with. Some of our Sichuan East Road are alternate officials. Now it's time to use them. You can give them a delegation and let them follow you to help with the group training and assist you in leading the various groups."

"Dare you ask how many adults have, and can they do it in a deliberate way?"

"I can't remember how much has been distributed over the years. One or two hundred should be available. As for whether they can be allowed to do the job in a solid manner, it depends on you." Cao Shuzhong smiled and said, "Besides, the recruitment of the people is the group, and it is the group training. It is not necessarily the alternate officials sent by the officials. It can also be used by officials who are in the local gentry who donated the over-the-top belt."

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Du Xingyuan laughed again: "Mr. Cao, do you think that as long as you donate the title of Lord Bo or the county magistrate, you can lead two to three regiments. Those who donate the title of magistrate can be under the jurisdiction of two to three regiments or the county magistrate. How about leading eight to nine regiments?"

Cao Shuzhong looked at Han Xiufeng with a smile and asked, "Zhixing, what do you think?"

Han Xiufeng realized that they not only wanted the gentry of each county to donate the civil and military supervisors, but also wanted the gentry of each county to donate the top and donate the official titles. Without thinking, "Mr. Cao, Du Futai, Xiufeng thought this might be inappropriate. First, this is a marching and war, and it is not other things. One is incompetent to the generals, and the three armies will be exhausted. Second, we have to give those regiments and supervisors a little hope. If everyone has Shangguan, and Shangguan also has Shangguan, who is willing to use his life?"

"Then you can set up a hundred groups at once, can you control it?"

"Didn't Xiufeng bring back ten civil and military officials from Zhili under the order? They can ask them to help command the various regiments first. Although there are not many officials who are in the family or the nephews of officials who return to their hometown, they know the truth and trust them. Like Xiufeng, they want to keep their hometown safe. As long as they help lead the 100 regiments, it will not be very troublesome."

"Okay, that's all. Do you want to arrange it in your hometown? How many days will it take... to get stable?"

"There is nothing to worry about in my hometown, but Xiufeng has to ask clearly about the weapons, food and money. If the weapons, food and money cannot be paid, it will be useless even if he goes there."

"You can rest assured that the food and salary will be paid 90,000 taels a year. The brave men will never let the brave men fight against the enemy with nothing, and will not let the brave men play hungry."

"Xiufeng thought that 90,000 taels might not be enough."

"I almost forgot that the gun price is not within these 90,000 taels."

"Mr. Cao, it's not enough to have guns and gunpowder lead. Xiufeng also wants cannons. He wants to defend Songkan and ensure that our east Sichuan is safe and secure, so he can get thirty mountain-splitting cannons."

Cao Shuzhong weighed it and gritted his teeth and said, "Thirty cannons are only thirty, but it takes time to cast cannons. How about giving me three months?"
