The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1651 Preparations
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Yes, the Yuan army and officials in the city have all retreated! There are also many people with them!"

Wen Qi showed a look of surprise, and then said to the soldiers next to him: "Let the special regiment of the Tiangang Army send a few brothers to investigate!"

This was so beyond his expectation that he couldn't believe the words of the spy from the Military Intelligence Department.

In his mind, there was really no need for the Yuan army to withdraw from Song City.Even if both Xu Fuxing and Hua Yuanhua died at the hands of Hou Wuyou.

There are at least 5 people left in the Yuan army. With so many people, don't they have the confidence to defend the magnificent Song City?
Even if they add the Tianlao and Tianhui armies in the Jiankang military region, there are not many people left.With this few people, it is impossible to attack Song City.

Wen Qi obviously couldn't imagine that those Yuan troops were already terrified.Especially those generals, who were very worried that if they stayed in the city, they would also become the assassination targets of Hou Wuyou.

Soon, two teams of soldiers from the special regiment of the Tiangang Army headed towards Shenxianling.

The army of the Jiankang Military Region and the Tianlao and Tianhui armies stopped here, waiting for news from the scouts.

At the same time, it is in the south of Nanjing Road, in Tangzhou.

Chen Wenlong still stayed in Biyang City.

Only after these few days, the dark halls of the military intelligence departments in Tangzhou, Dengzhou, Caizhou and other bases have successively delivered information from domestic officials to him.

In these places, there are naturally corrupt officials as well as good ones.

Through the sharp weapon of the dark hall of the Military Intelligence Department, Chen Wenlong had a general understanding of the old officials and generals of the Yuan Dynasty without much effort.

Under such circumstances, Chen Wenlong was finally ready to make a drastic move.

In the government office.

Zhang Liangdong, who was originally in charge of the government office, had already moved back to his mansion in the city at this time, usually only working in the government office.

main hall.

Chen Wenlong sat on the main seat.Below is Gong Qizhi, the deputy commander of the No. 17 Regiment of the Jiangling Mansion Garrison Guarding Biyang, and a few others who followed Chen Wenlong's Wu Dingtang to enshrine.

In front of Chen Wenlong, there were several thick stacks of materials.

These materials are the information about the officials and generals of each city passed by the military intelligence department of each city.Then there is the general situation in the city from the defenders who temporarily guard the cities.

For example, how much property, food, grass, etc. are still in the granary and treasure house in the city, and how many soldiers of the Yuan army are detained in the prisons in the city.

Chen Wenlong had been writing quickly before, but at the moment when he put down the pen, he breathed a sigh of relief, feeling in his heart, "As I get old, my energy is not as good as before."

At his current age, it is obviously not an easy task to collect the data of so many officials and generals of the dynasty.

On the paper, there are densely packed words written by him.

There are details about the vacancies of civil and military generals in each city.

These vacancies need to be filled.

And behind these official positions are the names of those who Chen Wenlong thinks are competent.

Some of these people are former officials of the Yuan Dynasty, and some are people with considerable prestige or ability in various cities submitted by the Military Intelligence Department.

After rubbing his temples, Chen Wenlong raised his head to look at Gong Qizhi, and said, "Vice Dutong Gong, send someone to pass these rosters to each city!"

He picked up the dozens of sheets of paper on the desk and handed them to Gong Qizhi.

Gong Qizhi hurried forward and took the papers with both hands.After sweeping his eyes, there was a slight look of surprise.

Then he asked: "Deputy Minister of State, what do you do with the officials who are no longer available for hire?"

Chen Wenlong said rather indifferently: "These officials who cannot be hired are not clean at all, let's put them all in jail first! Wait until the criminal departments in each city are established, and then convict them, and then punish them according to their crimes."

Gong Qizhi was slightly taken aback, "Then Zhang Liangdong is also in prison?"

He saw Zhang Liangdong's name on the top piece of paper.

But now, Zhang Liangdong is the highest-ranking official in Tangzhou.Put him in prison, I'm afraid it will cause some turmoil.

Chen Wenlong understood Gong Qizhi's meaning, and said, "Don't let it go, you'll be disturbed by it! You should first pass these rosters to the generals of the defending troops in each city, and let them do it in five days, so as not to leak any rumors. Those who arrested these people The matter must be handled by the defenders of each city in person! After they are imprisoned, they will talk to those who are competent to see if they are willing to work for our Great Song."

Gong Qizhi nodded, and asked again: "Then how to deal with the surrender of soldiers in each city?"

Chen Wenlong said: "Wait to establish the structure of government offices in each city first, and then deal with them!"

Meals have to be eaten bite by bite, and roads have to walk step by step.Chen Wenlong can be said to be the most experienced veteran official in the Song Dynasty, and this is understandable.

Only by setting up the government office first, can his various decrees be carried out in various cities.

"Yes!"

Gong Qizhi agreed, and hurried outside with the paper.

At this moment, he knew in his heart that the good days of people like Zhang Liangdong would not last long.

It's not that I didn't report, the time has not yet come.Now is the time for them to pay their debts.

At that time, in Tangzhou and other places, it will inevitably be a turbulent situation again.But he didn't care so much, instead he was a little excited.

Anyway, these places have experienced wars and turmoil before, and now it is quite a chaotic situation. The government offices of the cities have not played a big role. It depends on the defenders. As long as the defenders are still there, there will be no chaos.

Break and stand.

And as long as people like Zhang Liangdong bow their heads and those new officials come to power, with the ability of Deputy Minister Chen, they will definitely be able to re-establish order in a very short period of time.

This is of course what Gong Qizhi wants to see.

After walking out of the government office, Gong Qizhi returned to the barracks, and quickly arranged for soldiers to pass these rosters to each city.

Chen Wenlong began to think about other things in the main hall of the government office.

Rectifying Zhang Liangdong and others and "detoxifying" the government office is the first step.

Then select those who are capable and prestigious to serve as officials in various places, and re-establish a sound government office. This is the second step.

And to develop the base area laid down by the Xianglong Military Region, these two steps alone are obviously far from enough.

He still needs to re-establish the prestige of the government in various places.

Then let the people get real benefits.

Only in this way will the common people truly agree with the governance of Song Dynasty.At that time, these base areas will truly become the territory of Song Dynasty.

Only when the prestige of the government office was established, he could recruit city guards in each city.

Then, with the help of force, various development policies can be implemented with assurance.

These are quite complicated things.

Chen Wenlong was even mentally prepared that he would have to stay in the Yuan Dynasty for a long time when he came to Tangzhou on this trip.
