Chapter 224 Recalling the Past (Repair)
"There are more than 3,400 soldiers in the wing camps, more than 500 soldiers in Shangzhai, more than 2,000 soldiers in Zhongzhai, and less than 2,000 soldiers in the wing camps, less than 2,000 soldiers in the wing camps, and less than 2,000 soldiers in the wing camps, and less than 2,000 soldiers in the wing camps. The cavalry is less than 1,000 people in the wing camps, and they are used to transmit information between the villages. Qizhou is not big, just a large island near the river mouth, more than 30 miles north and south, more than 60 miles east and west, with more than 17,000 people in the wing camps, and more than 4,000 people in the wing camps. Because there are few flat land on the island and many mountains, more than half of the places from east to north are replaced by mountains, and there are only more than 60,000 acres of cultivated land on the island, mostly fishing for a living, and a small amount of vegetables are sold in the Fucheng City. The islanders are not rich and not poor. If there is no trouble for Qishan thieves, the islanders can go to the mountains to open up land, hunt animals, and hunt vegetables, and do not have to take a detour to hide, and I am afraid that the situation will be much better than...
The matters about people's livelihood, Lu Zhizhou will worry about. What I want to worry about is the more than 3,000 wing army and how to destroy Chen Yutai. According to the Great Wei army, each soldier of the wing army got an iron helmet and a sling, and each team was covered with two armors. Each team had eight archers, one long bow, two strings, three arrows, and two sets of arrows. In this way, each team had eleven iron helmets, eight bows, three long swords, and eight obstacles. The team officials were wearing iron armor, and each team had leather armor or iron cloth armor.
Unfortunately, the country is not in use now, and the military military is ineffective. As far as I know, each team of Qizhou has only one helmet, and cloth armor is available or not. Each whistle has one or two pairs of iron armor or leather armor. Each armor is less than ten, and the rest of the bows, strings, horns, lacquer, feathers and other objects are all missing. Each battalion should have a whistle God-arm bow, ten slamming crossbows, and the bed crossbows should be distributed depending on the situation. The Qishan garrison, let alone the bed crossbows, the Divine Arm bows are not on either side..."
Xu Zixian's mouth was fucked. Lin Douyao was shocked and felt really afraid of the young man in the royal family in front of him.
First, he talked about the number of troops stationed in Qizhou in just a few words, and then pointed out the civil affairs that Qizhou suffered for Chen Yutai. Then he talked about the military system of this dynasty, the cooperation of military forces, and the current situation of Qizhou. It is known to people completely ignore his age when he was too young and develops feelings of trust and reliance.
"Marquis of Nan'an invites tea..." Lin Douyao did not say anything for a moment, but asked the servants to serve tea.
Xu Zi took a sip first, put it aside, and said seriously to Lin Douyao: "The thieves who attacked Qishan Mountain are not prepared, the water camp is not prepared, the soldiers and horses are not trained, and the equipment is not good. This thief is not comparable to those of the mobs in the war in the river beach."
"Marquis Nan'an prepared so detailed and thoughtful, what else can I say?" Lin Douyao frowned and said, "It's just that Changping's arsenal is also unsustainable..."
"Forget it," Lin Douyao continued, "It's meaningless to complain. This thief has been entrenched in Qizhou for many years and threatened ports and sea ships. The people of Qizhou think it's a pain, and the gentry of Zhangzhou on Fuzhou and the other side of Zhangzhou hated it even more. It's a trivial matter to make up for the lack of military weapons in Qizhou's Xiangjun, and allocate the Eight Niu Crossbows. I'm only worried about what to do after the thief Pu Xingfeng and other thieves heard about it?"
"Wang Zhi has been the governor of the Great Wei Dynasty. Kang Tianqi is in charge of trade in Japan and is unwilling to set off a war. Pu Xingfeng, Yan Qi and Liu Dan are fighting against the Taixi countries in the sea of Nanyang and Mughals. At the same time, he supports Manchujia to annex the Sanfoqi and Lanfang countries. His power is all used there. How many people can come to my Great Wei? Within a few years, I am afraid that they will not come to me, so I will go to them!"
Most people will feel a bit fierce after hearing such bold words, but Lin Douyao was expressionless. He thought for a while and said, "Can the governor of the Jinghai Army send some ships, naval officers and soldiers to the Penghu area for a period of time?"
"If we want to calm people's hearts, we should also be after the destruction of Qishan." Xu Zixian said: "Before this, General Wang will not come."
"I understand."
Wang Zhi tried to persuade the thieves before and after, and the thieves restrained Chen Yutai and other small thieves from being troubled. Everyone had a tacit understanding, which was of course related to Pu Xingfeng being involved in the Nanyang area.
The matter was successfully completed. Wang Zhiruo sent troops to Fujian, and he was suspected of turning against others and putting in trouble. The old fox would definitely not agree.
If Chen Yutai was wiped out, the previous involvement would be over, and Wang Zhi could send some troops here, which probably had many symbolic meanings and would not really contribute.
"If so, my official Jinghou's good news."
"I will definitely not be disappointed in the coach."
After the serious talk, Xu Zixian and Lin Douyao had no selfish friendship. They held their fists and bowed each other, which was the end of the meeting.
A staff member of Lin Douyao came out and said with a worried look on his face: "Sir, this person has come here to get many benefits, but he is afraid that he will not work hard."
"What am I in a hurry?" Lin Douyao laughed at himself and said, "I had no hope at all. If there was a victory, it would be an unexpected surprise for me. If there was no victory, I would not suffer any loss... Xu Zi first wanted to be weaker than King Zhao. I would help him. From then on, I would sleep in the mansion and wait to watch the fun."
If the staff gain something, Lin Douyao's arrangement may be related to the situation in the capital.
In the capital, Han Zhong had completed the cleaning of Liu Zhiyuan's old subordinates, and he had temporarily taken the initiative to the emperor.
Next, Han Zhong might not have thought of waiting so honestly to abdicate. The emperor was already ordering people from various aristocratic families to work in Beijing. Chen Dujing's Hanlin scholar's imperial edict was one of them. Of course, Han Zhong knew the emperor's plan, and nothing more than to support Liu Zhiyuan.
Han Zhong was not a person who was waiting to die, but wanted to maintain the current situation. It was obviously impossible to confront the emperor head-on. Even the Northern Expedition must be carried out according to the emperor's order. Han Zhong could do nothing but the Zhao Mansion in Fujian.
King Zhao still stared at Xu Zi for now, but who expected that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind?
The staff felt a chill. These big figures in the political arena really touched their whole body. The previous enemy became allies in a blink of an eye, and the previous allies became enemies in a blink of an eye. What kind of person can be like a fish in water in such a situation?
...
On the sixth day of the third month, after Li Yi and others checked the almanac, Xu Zixian took Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian and more than a dozen other officials from Nan'an to Qizhou to take office.
In Qizhou, Xu Zixian could not appoint an official position by himself, so he could only punish him, and he would make suggestions to be demoted or arrested. The new official position still requires the consent of the Grand Governor's Office and the Pacification Envoy Department to take office.
This is different from the training of the group. The civil and military officials in the training of the group can be recommended first. However, the military officials, even if they are the chief clerk of the ninth rank of village chief, Xu Zixian has no right to appoint them. The seventh rank, the pacification envoy and the Grand Governor's Office have no right to appoint them. They need to report to the two prefectures of the capital. The decision of the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council, through the fifth room of the Central Secretariat, the Ministry of Personnel signs and prints them together, which is considered a series of measures to complete the imperial court's appointment of official positions.
Taking these people is just asking them to increase their experiences, and at the same time, there is no one around Xu Zixian.
In addition to retaining the position of the troupe training, even if Xu Zixian is surrounded by his side, his salary can be paid from the ministerial money of the defense envoy. In fact, part of the ministerial money of many military officials is the hiring fee for hiring staff.
If an official uses all the ministerial money to repair the official office, eat, drink and have a banquet, it is easy to be impeached. If it is taken all into a private house, it is quite taboo, and it is even easy to be scolded and removed from office.
When Xu Zixian was strolling in the mansion of the defensive envoy, he looked at everything he knew in his memory and suddenly jumped into his mind. The past when Xu Yingbin privately collected money from the ministerial envoy and kept it for his sister as a dowry.
"Did you see this pillar?" Xu Zixian pointed to a pillar in the second hall. Most of the red paint had fallen off, and there were obvious marks of knife cutting. Xu Zixian smiled and said, "I was over ten years old at that time. I lived here with my grandson. My sister was younger at that time. My grandson loved her more and took her to the yamen to do business. No one was in charge. From the second hall to the back garden, I don't know how many pillars and trees were affected."
Wu Weisan nodded and said, "Junhou cut off a grape in the back garden back then. The old marquis punished Junhou to stand, but he asked me to supervise the timing."
"It happened many years ago." Xu Zixian narrowed his eyes and looked at everything in front of him. After Xu Yingbin, Qizhou had two more defensive envoys, both of whom were conservative and unwilling to make progress. Of course, Xu Yingbin's experience also gave them great vigilance. At that time, Xu Yingbin was a royal Jinshi. After serving as the defensive envoy, he received strong support from the King of Qi. Although he still commanded the Xiang army, there was also a battalion of imperial guards. The Xiang army transferred there were also various elites. Even so, he ended in a crushing defeat and his career was setback. Of course, the successor's defensive envoys were unwilling to do anything. It would be nice to be able to protect the current situation.
Xu Zixian had a faint murderous intent in his eyes. Now he is not Wu Xia Ameng. He has experienced so many times, and has seen more and heard more. Xu Yingbin’s affairs back then were not as simple as it was on the surface. It should have been designed by someone. The unstable morale of the army in the front led to a mutiny. There was a problem with the logistics behind him, and the supply was suddenly cut off. The soldiers lurked on the mountain for many days, sleeping in the open air, and there were people inciting them to cause many mutiny. When Chen Yutai led his men to raid, the army suddenly collapsed...
All signs indicate that someone secretly made a move and suffered a crushing defeat.
An official came in to report: "Master Lu was in the state yard for a banquet. Will the king and the lord attend the banquet?"
Xu Zixian said: "Have all the commanders, deputy commanders, battalion commanders, deputy commanders, village supervisors, and chief clerks arrived?"
"Apart from Zhongzhai and Xiazhai, the rest of the people have arrived."
Xu Zixian shook his head and smiled. Sure enough, Li Xingwu and Dong Ruixiang had not arrived. It was obvious that they were esteemed for their old qualifications and did not want to show up at such a welcome banquet.
The old corps in the wing army usually have this kind of behavior. They think they have experienced seniority and look down on the newly appointed chief officer, especially a young royal family like Xu Zixian, which is normal to be despised and excluded.
The King of Qi must have made some explanations, but both of them had not dealt with Xu Zixian before. The King of Qi intended to make Xu Zixian subdue these two people by himself. I guess he would not have explained too much. It is normal for the two of them to have such a posture.
