Chapter 54: A New Beginning.)
ps: After thinking about it, I will continue to write this book until I finish it. Snail doesn’t want to be eunuch anymore.
Hall of Qinzheng.
Tang Zhou knelt in front of Liu Jun.
When Gao Hongyun died, he arrived. When he saw the black thread on the neck of the corpse, he looked guilty and apologized: "The emperor is incompetent, please punish him."
Li Ran and Su Jin stood aside and looked at Tang Zhou with interesting interest.
They knew that this young man was the leader of the Feihu Guard.
"Get up, Feihu Wei Chujian, you are too immature, it's normal for you to fight them." Liu Jun raised his hand.
This time, Tang Zhou stopped him in time, the blade was not deep, and the poison was late.
Otherwise, Gao Hongyun would have died at that time. He had no idea that the detailed construction institutions of the people of Fuyu had penetrated Jingzhou into pieces.
"Thank you, Your Highness, forgive me." Tang Zhou stood up and looked at Li Ran and Su Jin a few times. He saw the two of them the first time.
"This is the left Fu of the Prince's Mansion, Li Ran, this is General Zhongwu Su Jin, and he is Tang Zhou."
When Liu Jun saw that the three of them looked at each other, he simply introduced them to them.
"I admire you for a long time, and I have met Lord Li and General Su."
When Tang Zhou was in Lingshan County, he heard about the names of Li Ran and Su Jin from his father many times.
Especially Su Jin, who guarded Jingshan Pass, has long admired him.
Li Ran stroked the black and white beards, and treated his beloved juniors, and said in harmony: "The tiger father has no dog son. I hope you can serve the royal palace like your father."
Su Jin laughed loudly and said, "It's really a hero, especially your highness, who will make Mo General look at him with admiration."
While saying that he did not forget to praise Liu Jun.
Li Ran smiled and nodded, looking at Liu Jun standing in front of the "Global Map of All Nations".
"Your Highness, Gao Hongyun has perished himself, but he has many wings and needs to be eliminated."
"Well, the Gao Hongyun case was handed over to Zuo Fu. Remember, it's better to kill a thousand wrong than let one go." Liu Jun's voice was cold.
In troubled times, heavy sanctions should be used. Jingzhou has been in chaos for too long and must be overcorrected to regain its vitality.
Li Ran's heart trembled and looked at Liu Jun's back. For the first time, he felt that he was not the rebellious young man, but the real King Jing.
"Yes, Your Highness." He bowed deeply.
Liu Jun was looking at the four outer prefectures and Fuyu Kingdom on the map.
Thinking of something, he said to Hu Wei: "Gao Hongyun and his officials have been corrupt and abused the law in Jingzhou for many years. I don't know how much money they have shattered the treasury. You immediately ordered your troops to confiscate their homes."
Hu Wei was always a fat man, and when he heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.
He quickly responded and ran out happily.
Liu Jun came to Su Jin again, "General Su, the same is true in the border army. It's okay to eliminate all evil and shed some blood."
"The general is coming for this matter, so let's go back." Su Jin hugged his fists.
If the plan to break through Jingzhou from within fails, the people of Fuyu will definitely be angry and embarrassed.
In the future, I am afraid that the war will rise again.
After he went back this time and removed Gao Hongyun's men, he would strengthen his garrison.
The state of Fuyu Kingdom is now in a prosperous state. If we attack with all our strength, it is hard to say whether we can defend Jingshan Pass.
So he said to Liu Jun: "Your Highness, I know that the current treasury is empty, but in order to ensure that Jingshan is safe, we should also recruit new soldiers to supplement our military strength. Once Gao Hongyun dies, I am afraid that he will not be calm again."
Liu Jun knew this, so he stared at the map for a long time.
When Jingzhou was at its peak, the population of the eight prefectures was nearly three million.
The guardians, the soldiers and the border troops together had a total of 100,000.
In the battle between the four foreign governments, more than half of the elite troops in Jingzhou were lost, and they are still unable to recover to the past.
"Sixty thousand troops are the limit that the four governments have to bear. It is not a matter of money at all. At present, twenty people have already paid one. No matter how many, who will farm?" Li Ran refuted Su Jin's advice.
"Farming! Farming! Jingzhou is gone, what else can I plant? Li Duzi, you are just pedantic." Su Jin looked anxious and scolded loudly.
His voice was already loud, and when he shouted, everyone's eardrums were buzzing.
"A martial artist, what do you know? No one cultivates it, how can we get food and grass? Who transports food?"
“…”
Tang Zhou was dumbfounded, and he had gained some knowledge.
The two of them looked like they were both brothers, but now they were quarreling with each other.
Liu Jun closed his eyes helplessly. In my memory, the two of them often quarreled like this, and it was no wonder that they were used to it.
Besides, it is all for government affairs, and it is necessary to tolerate different opinions.
"Okay, OK."
The two of them were quarreling, and Liu Jun walked between them.
"Your Highness, what should I do?" Su Jin and Li Ran threw the problem back.
"Soldiers are more important than elites, not many." Liu Jun had already had an idea in his mind.
There can be no more recruitment, otherwise there will be major problems in Jingzhou's production and there is no way to talk about development.
For him, the current 60,000 border troops is enough, but the premise is that he provides excellent firearms and cooperates with the training of the battle formation.
"I will draw half of the soldiers from Haoshan Village to you," Liu Jun said.
There is an army town in the north and south of Jingzhou. The north is the current Jingshan Pass to resist the Fuyu people.
The other one is in the south, on the east bank of the Chu River, after the new emperor ascended the throne, it was used to prevent the imperial court.
Because it is backed by Haoshan, it is called Haoshansai.
Among the two barriers, there were more than 36,000 soldiers in Jingshan Pass and more than 23,000 soldiers in the Haoshan Tournament.
"Okay, although the new emperor ascended the throne, it would be better than the former emperor to be harmonious with Jingzhou, but he would not rashly violate the oath and attack Jingzhou." Li Ran said in contemplation.
Su Jin nodded and agreed with Li Ran’s idea.
"That's it." Liu Jun was so quarrel that he needed time to calm down.
In order to enhance Su Jin's confidence, he decided to let Su Jin go and see the achievements of the military training in the recent past.
By the way, prepare for the border army's reform of training.
So he said to Xue Shi, "Teach General Su to the camp of the Guardian Mansion to take a look."
Li Ran and Su Jin were both satisfied and bowed and went back.
Tang Zhou was about to leave, but was left by Liu Jun.
"You Feihu Guard will be tried by the assassin caught by Zhang and Xue Shi." Liu Jun stared at Tang Zhou's eyes, "I want a satisfactory answer."
The flying fox guards are destined to walk in the darkness, so they must face the darkness itself.
"Yes, Your Highness." Tang Zhou swallowed, knowing that he would experience this sooner or later.
After saluting, he slowly withdrew from the Qinzheng Hall.
When everyone left, Liu Jun took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
Once Gao Hongyun died, the biggest internal disaster in Jingzhou was finally eliminated.
In the future, both in the officialdom and in the army will be the only one who is in charge.
He no longer had to be restrained, and he was walking on thin ice on his own closure, and there were no internal obstacles to the development of Jingzhou.
As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt unprecedentedly refreshing.
There is a kind of comfort in getting back debts from others.
After stretching, he walked out of the hall gate and looked at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, feeling that everything was beautiful.
For him, the future will be a new beginning, and he will officially be the throne of the throne of Jingzhou.
"Ah, this is my king's world..."
"Your Highness?"
He was intoxicated by himself when a stammering voice rang out.
Only then did he realize that Bai Yutang and the Bai clan members were still waiting outside.
