Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 773 New Army
The meeting ended with Prince Rui's declaration of iron fist.

Relevant rectification actions were presided over by Hubei governor Zheng Dajin.

According to Prince Rui's request, the issue of surrendering troops and indiscipline should be dealt with internally.

That is to say, the generals in the adjacent garrison area are responsible for dealing with colleagues who refuse to come to the meeting, and the Eight Banners and Green Battalion in the nearby area cooperate with the blockade, but do not directly participate in the operation.

One is to give the surrendered generals who came to the meeting the opportunity to make meritorious service, the second is to improve cohesion and loyalty, and the third is to see how the combat effectiveness of these surrendered troops is.

The surrendered generals who need to enforce military discipline mainly include Song Xing, the defender of Fangxian County, Ma Yunlong, the capital of Suizhou, Guo Yikui, the defender of Dangyang, Ma Guoquan, the defender of Dangyang, and Lu Xiong, the capital of Guizhou.

There are nearly 2000 of these soldiers, and there are only three or 400 soldiers.

Under the principle of blockage and four-sided blockade, as long as the action is fast enough, this group of people basically has no chance to resist.

If the surrendered troops in charge of the operation are unable to eliminate them immediately, the surrounding green camps will immediately intervene.

Relevant orders have been notified to Zu Yingyuan, Admiral of Huguang, and Wang De, Admiral of Shaanxi.

Zheng Dajin demanded that decisive measures be taken against the subordinates of the nine surrendered generals, that is, all the officers should be executed, the soldiers would be punished for their evil deeds, and those with ordinary circumstances should be dismissed on the spot.

In the face of the general situation, the generals and the generals stand in the same position, expressing their obedience to the relevant arrangements of Prince Rui, and from now on they will resolutely obey the leadership of Prince Rui, abide by the laws and regulations, never exploit the common people, and at the same time supervise each other to ensure regional stability and public security maintenance, in order to realize the Contributed to the reunification of the region.

Overall, the meeting was united.

After deploying the relevant work, Lao Zheng was going to report to Prince Rui to see what needed to be supplemented and what needed special attention. If not, he would ask Prince Rui to issue it with a seal. On the way, he met Minister Niu Lunbao.

The latter pulled Governor Zheng aside, frowned slightly and said: "Prince Rui's remarks at the meeting just now were inappropriate."

"inappropriate?"

Lao Zheng didn't know what the Minister of Internal Affairs meant.

Niu Lunbao said in a low voice: "The thief will vote for the imperial court in the future, not Prince Rui. When will Prince Rui be able to represent the imperial court?"

"This?"

Old Zheng's heart tightened, and he also realized that there was indeed something wrong with what Prince Rui said at the venue just now, and he asked someone with a heart to pass it back to the court and the emperor's ears, fearing that it would cause unnecessary trouble.

"Prince Rui is still too young to know the seriousness. As court ministers, you and I should take more responsibility and report to the court more about anything. Otherwise, if there is anything going on in the future, it will be difficult for you and me to deal with it. "

Niu Lunbao looked quite interesting.

Lao Zheng will be 70 years old next year. After becoming a Jinshi in the first year of Qianlong, he served as a county magistrate, prefect, magistrate, inspector, and minister. I don't know what the Minister of Internal Affairs means.

Can't help but sigh secretly.

There are only two great generals in this dynasty, the front and back, and the last great general Wang Shisiye ended up sadly, but he doesn't know what will happen to this great general in the future.

But the most important thing at this time is to quickly quell the rebellion in Huguang. Prince Rui's preferential treatment and appeasement method is very effective. Although the quality of the rebel troops who came to surrender is uneven, it has effectively disintegrated the rule of the rebel army and hit their arrogance. Lay the foundation for the next strategic offensive.

Therefore, Prince Rui's accident at this time is similar to self-destruction of the Great Wall.

Therefore, he didn't take the minister's reminder seriously, and didn't think deeply about rushing to Prince Rui's office with the documents.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Prince Rui sitting there eating, and the tablemates were all the prince's personal guards.

A group of people eat with rice bowls, or drink soup there, it seems that there is no hierarchy at all, as if they are visiting relatives during the Chinese New Year.

"Old Zheng, have you eaten yet? Come sit down and eat together."

Naturally, Jia Liu ordered Bao Zhu to serve a bowl of rice for the governor.

The meals are very simple, four dishes and one soup.

A bowl of braised pork, a bowl of braised large intestine, a bowl of braised herring, and a pot of spicy chicken.

The soup is green vegetable tofu soup.

According to Zhongxiang, the price of even vegetables and soup is less than 200 Wen.

Compared with the identity of the general king, it can be said to be extremely simple.

Old Zheng, however, couldn't get used to this kind of scene, and it was rather awkward to stand there.

Seeing this, Jia Liu didn't make things difficult for the governor. He put down the bowl and got up, wiped his mouth with a towel, walked to the desk and motioned Old Zheng to sit down and talk.

"In front of the prince, there is no place to be an official."

Lao Zheng is a typical civil servant, very disciplined.

"In terms of status, I am the prince, and you are the governor, and you have your own dignity. In terms of actual situation, I am a comrade-in-arms who stirs the horse's ladle in the pot. If this king is defeated in the fight against the rebellion, or dies on the front line, you I'm afraid that Lao Zheng's head can't be saved."

Jia Liu took out a pack of tea leaves from the drawer, squeezed some to soak in the teapot, and poured a bowl of tea for Zheng Dajin himself.

"Actually, if I don't talk about you, Old Zheng, I should understand that you can continue to be the governor. It is this king who spoke for you at the court."

This is the truth, Lao Zheng hurriedly bowed and thanked Prince Rui.

"Don't thank me, thank the people if you want to. If the people didn't say that you Zheng Dajin is a good official, this king has no relatives or reasons with you. If you are full, you want to protect you?"

Jia Liu smiled and handed the tea bowl to Old Zheng, "Sit down and talk, after all, you are almost [-], this king can't bear your old man standing like this."

Seeing that the prince was already talking about this, Zheng Dajin couldn't shirk it, so he sat down slowly, then opened the briefcase and handed over the documents.

Jia Liu took a glance, basically satisfied, nodded and said: "Let's do this, arrest those who should be arrested, and kill those who should be killed. In troubled times, use heavy codes."

After finishing speaking, he took out his Great General's seal from the other drawer, and stamped it on.

Meetings, stamping, and autographs are the favorite of the high-ranking people, and Jia Liu is no exception.

After collecting the documents stamped by Prince Rui, Zheng Dajin hesitated for a while, but still put forward some opinions.

It's still a question of surrender.

The governor of Hubei believes that even though these generals will no longer act mischievously in the future, but they themselves are mixed with dragons and snakes, filthy and dirty, and their combat effectiveness is low, which is really embarrassing to use.

Major illegal and criminal acts may not be dared to do, but sneaking and disturbing things cannot be banned.

After hearing this, Jia Liu nodded and said: "Since ancient times, in the army, if the order is not good, it is the reason for the collapse. The long-term slack is the foundation of laxity. It is also the taboo of the military family to appease the people. How about this, the king will issue another military order. Yong Ding harassed and harmed the villagers, and allowed the local people to identify the brave uniform and accuse him according to the facts, or turn him over for investigation. If there are concealers, the crime will be aggravated."

Here, even the Eight Banners and the Green Camp are included.

Zheng Dajin was immediately relieved when he heard this remark, the Prince Rui in front of him was just as the Minister of the Interior Niu Lunbao said, he was young, but he was not a person who didn't know the importance, at least he could listen to advice, learn lessons, and sincerely For the sake of the common people, they can also make drastic and ruthless rectifications. This alone is enough to be qualified for the post of general king.

At this time, I saw the young prince on the opposite side with a little self-reproach and said: "There are many bad things in the past, and the generals and soldiers should be blamed for it. This king also has some things that are not in place, so he should punish himself, right?" , this king fined himself a tenth of his salary, and handed it over to the Xingyuan Camp Affairs Office, so as to scare the whole army."

"My lord!"

Zheng Dajin was deeply moved, and subconsciously stood up to praise Prince Rui, but was stopped by Jia Liu, with a sense of seeking advice: "Even so, it is a temporary solution, not the root cause, so this king is thinking about it, and is going to reorganize this group of surrendered troops into a new army." , I don't know what Lao Zheng wants?"
