Chapter 1151(2/2)
Among the divisions, only the Second Division is fully organized in China. They are stationed in Fujian and Zhejiang all year round and are familiar with the climate in the south.
It is also most suitable for the Second Division to deploy and defend Guangzhou."
Li Xiao thought about it and decided to hand over the second division to Sun Zhijie.
Today's Gyeonggi Province's defense level has reached a dangerous level.
In addition to one regiment left behind by the First Division, there was also a regiment transferred from the Third Division.
In the capital of Gyeonggi with millions of people, only one guard division is left to guard important targets in the capital.
The guard group around Li Xiao is considered the largest armed force in the capital.
It's pitiful to say that the Ming Empire now has as many as one million troops stationed abroad. However, there are only more than 20,000 troops stationed in the capital of the Ming Empire.
The most trustworthy 1st Division and the 1st Cavalry Division were sent out.
The Fourth Division has to maintain the communication lines between the Western Region and Central Asia, and its troops are already stretched thin.
The only remaining third division, Cao Wenzhao, had one regiment transferred to Gyeonggi Province and the other regiment to Ao Ye!
Cao Wenzhao only had three regiments left in his hands, and he not only had to maintain the communication line from Lanzhou to Xi'an.
They also serve as a general reserve team, ready to go to Beijing at any time, or to support Ao Canghai.
All the soldiers were sent out, and the power in Li Xiao's hands had dropped to a dangerous level.
Among the entire Ming army, the Second Division had the most complete structure. Because the Second Division only sent one battalion to follow Ao Ye to Russia.
Now that one of the best-organized troops in the Ming Dynasty has been handed over to the Sun family, it shows Li Xiao's trust in the Sun family.
Time waits for no one, so Li Xiao went to Yuquan Mountain while giving orders to Xiao Zhan.
Sun Yuanhua will explain Xiao Zhan's affairs. Sun Chengzong's side will have to be handled by Li Xiao himself.
"Commander, you haven't been here for a while. The old man always talks about you. He talks about you more often than he talks about us, our descendants."
Every time he went to Yuquan Mountain, Sun Quan would say the same thing.
So much so that it became a formula, and Li Xiao could memorize these two sentences.
"How is your health, old man? Have you used the ginseng I sent?" Li Xiao talked casually with Sun Quan as he walked.
Sun Zhijie's father has never been liked by Sun Chengzong.
However, in terms of filial piety, Sun Quan still had no fault.
He has served Sun Chengzong with all his heart in these years. Even though he is sixty years old, he also needs to be taken care of.
Seeing him hunched over and walking slowly in front, Li Xiao could still recall what he looked like twenty years ago.
At that time, Mr. Sun was considered a high-spirited middle-aged man.
"It's so chaotic outside, why do you have time to come to my old man's place?"
Sun Chengzong stood in the yard, holding fish food in his hand and feeding the big goldfish in the tank.
"Let's see how old you are!" Li Xiao replied with a smile, waving his hand and stopping at the entrance of the courtyard before walking in.
"Haha! Look at me, old man?" Sun Chengzong glanced at Li Xiao and waved his hand in the same way. Sun Quan bowed to Li Xiao and then withdrew.
"Your old body and bones are getting stronger and stronger. Is the ginseng sent by me, Qi Lin'er, good for you?
If it is used well, let the Korean King Li Zhu donate some more."
"I haven't used the ginseng you sent, and I still keep it at home.
This stuff is hot and not suitable for us northerners to eat.
In the past two years, I have been eating Pueraria lobata a lot.
Don't tell me, although my hair hasn't turned white, I'm still in good spirits!
After winter, I plan to go to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi to study Taoism."
Sun Chengzong is indeed doing well. In the late autumn weather of November, he is wearing a jacket.
Stand there without shaking your head or shaking your hands.
His face is rosy and full of vitality, but he doesn't look like an old man in his eighties.
Li Xiao felt that this old guy would definitely be able to survive until the day when he held a memorial service for himself.
"This is the first time I've heard what you said. I used to think that ginseng was a good thing."
"It's a good thing, but I can't decide whether it's suitable or not."
Sun Chengzong seemed to have something in his words.
While Li Xiao was thinking about it, he got closer to the huge lotus tank and looked at the several goldfish inside.
"Winter is coming soon, and this fish can only be fed two times. After winter, we can't feed it.
Why don't you say anything? You've always been a night owl. Come into the house. Tell me what's going on!"
Sun Chengzong glanced at Li Xiao.
It is estimated that the only person in the world who dares to call a boy Li Xiao like this is the old guy in front of him.
"It's not a big deal, it's about Zhijie.
The Second Division was to be transferred to Guangzhou to deal with the conflict between locals and tourists from Guangdong and Guangxi. They needed a capable person to be the mayor, so they thought of Zhi Jie Lai.
It stands to reason that Zhijie fought in the Battle of Grozny. In terms of qualifications and achievements, he is enough.
Now it is only natural to mention the commander of the second division."
"Haha! Since it is a matter of course, you won't ask my old man.
There were a total of four army field divisions in the Ming Dynasty, and no division commander was not a tiger general.
Mr. Ao! Yuan Chonghuan! Cao Wenzhao! Zu Dashou.
Not all names are famous.
The fact that Zhijie can be transferred to the second division is the commander-in-chief's trust in my Sun family." Sun Chengzong sprinkled the last handful of fish food into the fish tank, his face unwavering.
"As long as you don't object!
He and Xiao Zhan went to Guangdong and Guangxi to stabilize the situation in Guangdong and Guangxi.
There's a big fight outside and there's a lot of commotion at home. This is very detrimental to Ming Dynasty!"
"hehe!
You! I always feel that your steps are a little bigger and a little more urgent.
Managing a big country is like cooking a small dish, sometimes it needs to be done slowly.
Now the whole of Europe is united because you have suffered too much.
However, this is fine, it can be considered clean and satisfying if all the efforts are accomplished in one battle.
But in this way, the losses suffered by Ming Dynasty will be greater, and the variables in the future will also be greater."
"There is nothing we can do about it. Europeans will not be willing to be exploited by the Ming Dynasty.
Our Ming Dynasty adopts a policy of hiding wealth among the people, and lightening corvee and thinning taxes is the most basic national policy.
The country needs to develop, and building roads, building bridges, and establishing education all require money to support them.
If we don't exploit our Ming people, we can only exploit the Europeans.
There is nothing we can do about this. Only an incompetent court will levy excessive taxes on the people of the country."
"hehe!
Only an incompetent court will impose excessive taxes on its own people.
What you said is so well said!
Chapter completed!
