Great Military Division

Chapter 475 The officials of Jingxiang are stunned, is this kpi trying to kill people?

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

Governor's House.

Mao Jie's driver had already driven from Nanyang to Xiangyang, and now even if he wanted to conceal his whereabouts, it was already impossible.

However, Mao Jie is ready to deal with a super-level snowstorm at any time.

"Mao Shijun, what other orders do you have?"

The guards who were ordered to see them off bowed and cupped their hands.

"Have."

Mao Jie nodded affirmatively, and handed his rucksack to the guard: "This is the situation of the Jingxiang gentry that I have summarized with Liu Biao. There are many doubtful points in it, and I have marked them out."

"I trouble the general to forward it to His Majesty, and ask the school affairs office to help investigate the situation. If there is any result, send it to Jingxiang as soon as possible. It will be of great use to me."

The guard took the rucksack and nodded affirmatively: "Don't worry, Mr. Mao, you can leave this matter to the last general. This thing will definitely be passed on to His Majesty, and you will live up to your entrustment."

Mao Jie bowed deeply: "Thank you, General."

The guards clasped their hands: "Your Majesty, remember to be careful in everything. The Jingxiang gentry is not as simple as imagined. This is what His Majesty said."

Mao Jie said kindly, and his expression was calm: "I have some understanding of this matter, and I will definitely act with caution."

The guard nodded: "In that case, after today is over, the last general will lead his army back to Nanyang."

Mao Jie nodded: "Well, the general has worked hard."

"."

The two continued to chat for a while.

suddenly.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the hall.

After a while, Liu Biao appeared at the entrance of the hall, and said softly, "Xiaoxian, all Jingzhou officials are in place, and we can read your majesty's edict at any time."

Mao Jie turned his head to look at Liu Biao, smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, let's start, just let General Li escort Brother Jing Sheng back to Nanyang today."

Liu Biao smiled lightly: "The royal guards personally escorted them, what can I do."

Mao Jie waved his hand: "Let's go."

Immediately.

A group of people rushed to the front hall of the governor's mansion.

Sure enough, all the civil and military officials from Jingzhou came, with melancholy written all over their faces, as if this assassin who fell from the sky was like a little ghost who came to seduce his soul and kill him.

Kuai Yue lowered his voice and murmured: "So this person is Mao Jie. He doesn't seem to be very old. Compared to Liu Jingsheng, he is much younger."

"Yes."

Cai Hao's voice on the side was also very low, only the two of them could hear: "But this man is very aggressive. I heard that he has to work until midnight these two days. I don't know what he is busy with."

"What else could it be?"

Kuai Yue's voice was dark, and he let out a long breath: "He must be trying to find a way to deal with us, trying everything possible to turn our cultivated land into the Nanyang court."

"Liu Biao is cowardly!"

Every time he thinks of this, Cai Mao feels cruel in his heart.

He subconsciously clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and asked tentatively: "Military division, what do you think should be done? If Mao Jie really dares to do this, do we really want to do it?"

"Don't worry."

Kuai Yue took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm: "Let's see what Mao Jie wants to do first. Taking advantage of the relatively complete Jingxiang gentry today, it will not be too late to make a decision after reading the imperial edict."

"kindness."

Cai Mao looked around, and his restless heart calmed down: "If Mao Jie really dared to make a mistake, we will turn against him. Anyway, Xiangyang's city walls have been strengthened. I really don't believe it. The army of the Nanyang court can attack? "

Kuai Yue continued to advise: "Don't worry, hold on."

Cai Mao nodded: "Don't worry, I understand."

"Everyone, be quiet."

At this moment, a voice sounded from above.

Only then did everyone focus their attention on the top.

Mao Jie waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, took out the imperial edict, and read it out: "In the past, when the world was in chaos, the first emperor restored the state herds to shake the world. Today, the state is stable, and the state and herds should be abolished, and the prefectures should be ruled by governors."

"Move Liu Biao to be a servant, promote Mao to be the governor of Jingzhou, inspect politics and religion, dethrone him or not, and judge unjust prisons. The two will hand over their duties on the same day and go to their respective posts."

Liu Biao bowed his body and cupped his hands, and said loudly, "Your servant Liu Biao accepts the order."

Mao Jie handed the edict to Liu Biao: "Brother Jing Sheng, congratulations."

Liu Biao nodded: "Tong Xi, this Governor's Mansion will belong to you Xiao Xian from now on, I have already packed my things, and I will leave with my things after noon."

"Today, officials from Jingzhou have arrived here. In a few days, we will be clearing up wasteland and planting seeds. Xiaoxian has something to order, so I just take this opportunity to arrange it. Otherwise, it will not be so easy to get together."

"kindness."

Mao Jie nodded: "I have exactly that intention."

Liu Biao cupped his hands: "Since that's the case, I'll take my leave. Xiao Xiao first takes care of himself."

Mao Jie waved his hand and said, "General Li, send brother Jing Sheng off for me."

The guard bowed his body and cupped his hands: "Here! Liu Shizhong, please."

Looking at the backs of Liu Biao and the guards turning away, Mao Jie let out a sigh, and turned to look at the full hall of civil and military ministers. Although their faces were not familiar to Mao Jie, but the names and backgrounds were already familiar to him.

"Everyone."

Mao Jie spared the long case, moved to the first seat, and said loudly: "I think you should be aware of the management policy of Nanyang Hanting. Now that spring plowing is coming, the imperial court needs to sign a contract of responsibility for spring plowing production."

"Because the time was tight and the task was heavy, this official came ahead of time and had a detailed discussion with Liu Shizhong on the land and farm tools in Jingzhou, and specially formulated the responsibility statement of each county."

"Taking this opportunity, the sheriffs of our counties will sign the responsibility agreement for farming and production. After returning to the counties, they will prepare farm tools and mobilize the people to prepare for the upcoming farming."

Cai Hao frowned. From the attitude shown by the other party, he didn't notice any hostility, not even the basic three-axes. The routine was completely different from what he imagined.

Hard to do.
Will the imperial court really allow them, different from Nanyang?
Cai Mao lowered his voice and asked tentatively, "What do you think, Yidu?"

Kuai Yue thought for a moment, then said softly: "Don't be fooled by this person's appearance, even if he is a good stubble, His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang is by no means easy-going, and the murderous intent may lie in this letter of responsibility."

"Responsibility?"

Cai Mao seemed to realize something.

as predicted.

Jin Xuan, who was the first to go forward and was about to sign the responsibility letter for farming production, was stunned: "This... how is this possible, how is this possible?"

"impossible!"

Jin Xuan looked up in disbelief, and looked up at Mao Jie: "Mao Shijun, since you have already investigated, you should be very clear. It is impossible for Jiangling to open up so much barren land."

However.
Mao Jie was serious, and he didn't mean to be joking at all: "Oh? So, with your ability, it is impossible to complete the agricultural production responsibility letter?"

Jin Xuanfan did not hesitate, and said directly: "Yes, it is impossible to complete it with my ability, but I believe that let alone me, even the vast majority of county guards will not be able to complete such a statement of responsibility."

"Don't be so absolute."

Mao Jie snorted coldly, and went back directly: "You don't have to sign this letter of responsibility for farming and production. At worst, you will resign from the post of prefect, go back to be a county magistrate, and sign the letter of responsibility for the county magistrate. It's not a problem if you think about it."

"you"

Jin Xuan was furious, but he forcibly endured it. He swears and swallows it back: "Mao Shijun, is it too much for you to insult people like this?"

Mao Jie was extremely calm, and said softly: "I didn't target you. This letter of responsibility is aimed at all Jingxiang officials. At present, the imperial court's land reform has been going on for a while. If Jingzhou has fallen, naturally we must hurry up to make up for it."

"If the Governor of Jin can't do it, he should resign himself and let someone who is capable take over. His Majesty said that the Nanyang court wants officials who are honest, not worthless."

"Survival of the fittest is the law of the Nanyang court!"

"If you can't do it, you will naturally be eliminated."

Mao Jiesen's cold eyes glanced at Jinxuan, and then he turned to the civil and military people in the hall: "The same is true for you, if you feel that this agricultural production responsibility statement is too difficult, you can step down as the county guard and become a county magistrate. Don't be too harsh."

"In Xuzhou and Yuzhou, there are also many prefects and state ministers who had to resign because they failed to meet the requirements of the court. This is not shameful at all, it is a very common thing."

"No matter how good a sage's book is, if he can't do anything practical for the common people, then he is not worthy of being an official. Let alone a gentry in Jingzhou, so what if Kong Rong is? He will still be raped!"

The implication is that no matter how good your reading of sage books is, you can't compare to Kong Rong, but even Kong Rong was still picked up by His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang, and he is still on the waiting list, let alone you.

The environment of the Nanyang court is so cruel. If you can do it, you can go there. If you can’t, get out early. For things you can’t do, there are plenty of capable candidates. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Jin Xuan was so stunned that he couldn't speak. Holding the responsibility letter for farming and production, he couldn't write for a long time. He wanted to sign it happily, but he always felt that once he wrote it, he would be completely useless.

but
If you don't sign, do you resign?
How could I go down so easily after climbing up with great difficulty.

Seeing that Jin Xuan couldn't make a decision, Mao Jie didn't waste any time, and waved his hand and said, "Jin County Sheriff can think about it a little bit, I have time to wait for your decision."

"The rest of the county guards might as well come up, take down their own agricultural production responsibility letters, and think about it carefully. If you feel that you can, you can sign your name. If you feel that you are not capable enough, you should resign as soon as possible and replace them."

All the officials in Jingzhou came forward one after another, found their responsibility letters, returned to their original positions, and started browsing. After a while, a dark voice immediately rose up:

"Ah? How is this possible? Most of my Guiyang County is mountainous and hilly. How could there be so many cultivated fields? Who can do such a responsibility letter for farming and production?"

"Your farmland is still relatively small, and my Lingling County has much more than you. I don't believe anyone can do this kind of farming production responsibility letter, even the people of Hanting in Nanyang may not be able to do it." Row."

"I really don't believe that in Jiangling, Changsha, Guiyang, and Lingling, where there are high mountains and dense forests, so many barren fields can be opened up. Could it be that the imperial court is deliberately embarrassing people?"

"It must be like this. The terrain determines the cultivated land. Does anyone else know Jingzhou better than us? If we can't do it with all our efforts, how can they do it?"

"."

Cai Mao stared at his letter of responsibility.

Naturally, he is not in charge of farming, but the governor of Jingzhou.

but
In the letter of responsibility in front of him, the first thing is to let himself compress the original establishment.

In other words, it is to slim down the army by oneself, carry out self-discharge, and take the so-called elite route.

If it's just that, the most important thing is that Cai Mao's team needs to obey Sun Jian's orders, which means that he will become a general of Jiangdong Tiger Sun Jian.

Who is Sun Jian?

Back then, this fierce tiger had straddled three counties, defeated the bandits, and thus firmly established Jingnan. Even Jingxiang's aristocratic family would not pay attention to this person.

Let yourself become Sun Jian's subordinate?

Ha ha!

This is tantamount to looking for death by lighting a lamp in the toilet!
Based on such a condition alone, it is absolutely impossible for Cai Mao to agree, not to mention the other conditions.

At this moment, Cai Mao's heart had already risen to rebel, but he still suppressed his anger and lowered his voice, "What is your letter of responsibility?"

Unbelievably
Kuai Yue could still laugh, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "My situation is fine, mainly to assist the governor Mao Jie and handle some daily things."

"So Easy?"

Cai Mao couldn't believe it, and immediately leaned his head over, and hurriedly scanned the responsibility letter.

hiss-!
Although it was just a glance, it still made Cai Mao gasp, his scalp was numb, and his back was cold: "Yidu, do you regard these as daily things?"

"Daily! Monthly! Quarterly! Semi-annual! Annual!"

"Uh"

Cai Hao only felt that his head was getting bigger: "Even the old cows who plow the fields are not so troubled. They have to report every day. Could it be that the officials in Nanyang are also like this?"

Kuai Yue shook his head: "How do I know, I haven't heard of it anyway."

Cai Mao gritted his teeth: "Damn it, the Nanyang court is deliberately torturing us, they want to force us to rebel! Huh? Yidu, what do you mean? Why did you sign it? Could it be that you can do it?"

Kuai Yue just smiled: "Sign it first, then talk about it, look at the state, if you don't sign it, you will definitely not be able to get through it, first pass today's test, and then discuss it later."

"you"

Without waiting for Cai Mao to speak, Kuai Yue handed the signed letter of responsibility to Mao Jie: "Master, I have signed it, I wonder if I can leave?"

Mao Jie opened the letter of responsibility and saw that Kuai Yue's name was signed on the back, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and a faint smile appeared: "Brother Jing Sheng is right, the ability of different degrees must be very strong, I hope we can cooperate happily. "

Kuai Yue bowed his head, "I will definitely do my best."

Mao Jie smiled lightly: "Since that's the case, you can leave now."

Kuai Yue cupped his hands: "Here."

Immediately.

Bow and leave.

When he passed by Cai Mao, he gave him a wink and signaled him to hurry up and come out.

Although Cai Mao was unwilling to sign such an overlord clause, he still wrote down his name, submitted it, and walked out of the gate of the governor's mansion.

"Alien, what do you mean?"

Cai Mao was extremely puzzled by this and asked tentatively.

"It's nothing."

Kuai Yue replied casually: "We have to come out first, and then call the Jingxiang gentry to discuss a countermeasure together. If this is true, all of us Jingxiang gentry will have to be replaced by the court."

"Yes."

Cai Mao was very sure of this: "I will absolutely not accept such a condition."

Kuai Yue said softly: "If I'm not wrong, the imperial court needs you to disarm and accept Sun Jian's restraint, right?"

"kindness."

Cai Mao nodded, he was not shocked at all by Kuai Yue's guess of such a thing: "Yidu, you said that I, Cai Mao, might accept such a condition?"

Kuai Yue paused for a moment: "Of course you won't accept it, but the military system of the Nanyang court is indeed like this. Their soldiers and horses are not many, but they are all elite."

"If a soldier is unqualified, he will face the requirement of being discharged from the army. Therefore, the army of Hanting in Nanyang is very powerful, especially the soldiers and horses directly under the imperial court."

"So such a request"

Kuai Yue glanced at Cai Mao, and said very calmly: "For the governor, it's not too much, it should be normal, but you can't accept it yourself."

"How can you say that?"

Cai Mao frowned, more angry.

He really didn't think so.

Not only did Kuai Yue not speak for him, but he seemed to be mocking him: "We are grasshoppers on the same rope, isn't your letter of responsibility also normal?"

"kindness."

Kuai Yue remained calm, and said softly: "That's right, maybe my letter of responsibility is normal, but His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang has already made the calculations. We cannot afford such a condition, but Nanyang officials can afford it."

"He wants to start with the production responsibility letter, treat us and Yuzhou and Xuzhou officials equally, but can achieve the goal of quickly controlling Jingzhou."

"Humph!"

Speaking of this, Kuai Yue snorted softly: "His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang probably knows more about the officials of Jingzhou than we do. Only then can we prescribe the right medicine and make such a letter of responsibility."

Cai Mao let out a long breath, and felt a little relieved: "Then what are you thinking?"

Kuai Yue said softly: "It's useless what I think. The key is what everyone thinks. Liu Biao just left. We are currently in a state of leaderless leaders. What if we can't unify our opinions?"

Cai Mao nodded helplessly: "You also make sense."

Kuai Yue added: "Let's wait, don't worry."

Cai Mao nodded: "Okay."

Not long after, officials came out one after another.

People arranged by Kuai Yue had long been waiting outside to guide Jingzhou officials into the designated place and prepare to discuss countermeasures.

In the city, Furong Tower, the top floor.

As more and more Jingzhou officials arrived, the whole hall was already boiling:

"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable! Do we really think that our Jingzhou officials are all made of mud?"

"Damn it! I really don't believe it. Is there anyone in the world who can complete such a statement of responsibility?"

"Whether others can do it, I don't know, but I, Liu Du, can't do it."

"How can we do things that even Commander Liu can't do?"

"This letter of responsibility for agricultural production is completely forcing us to resign."

"His Majesty the Emperor of Nanyang actually used such a method, it is better to dismiss me directly."

"That's right, it's unreasonable to humiliate us with this shitty production responsibility letter."

"Did you sign it?"

"Of course I signed it. Is it possible to resign?"

"It suffocates me to death."

"."

While all the Jingzhou officials were discussing, Kuai Yue had already mastered the content of the letter of responsibility signed by everyone. To him, except for the tricky spring plowing of the major county guards, the rest were all normal operations.

only.
Even normal operation is very difficult for Jingzhou officials.

They were originally a relatively fixed circle, and it was precisely because of the fixation that they were relatively lazy internally, never thinking about making progress, and only wanted to guard their own one-acre three-point land.

Now, powerful external forces are preparing to tear everything apart, so they feel a little unbearable, and they always feel that they are forced to leave their comfort zone.

"Degui, how do you feel?"

Before the official start, Kuai Yue tried to ask Cai Mao for his opinion.

"Feel what?"

Cai Mao seemed to hear something and asked tentatively.

"If there is a war, how sure are you?"

In fact, Kuai Yue didn't know how capable Cai Mao was.

After all, thinking back to the time when the sect thieves were put down, most of them were wiped out with a single meal, and then Jing Xiang was in a period of absolute peace.

Under such circumstances, Cai Mao's ability is a mystery to Kuai Yue, but he has to admit that Cai Mao does have some ability, otherwise he would not be able to become the governor of Jingxiang.

"this."

Cai Mao was in a difficult situation, frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said: "If the city wall can hold up, there should be no problem in defending Xiangyang."

"Then what if you can't hold it?"

Kuai Yue does not need such ambiguous answers.

What he wants is strategy and tactics, no matter what happens, there is a corresponding answer to the plan.

Unfortunately.
Cai Mao never seemed to think about it.

Now, the facts are in front of Cai Mao, and there is no room for Cai Mao not to think clearly: "If we can't hold on, we may have to retreat to the south, and it is very likely that we will have to cross the Yangtze River."

"Ma Bujun, we may not be the opponents of the Jiangdong Tigers, but if we rely on the Yangtze River, our Jingxiang Navy will definitely not be weaker than Sun Jian. I am very sure of this."

South of the Yangtze River?

This is equivalent to giving up Xiangyang, giving up Nanjun, and giving up the Mabu Army.

Kuai Yue frowned, feeling extremely upset.

Cai Mao's answer made him a little disappointed.

With such a posture, it may be difficult to face the threat of Nanyang Hanting.

"Brother."

At this moment, a man hurried forward and came to Cai Mao.

Cai Mao frowned, and asked softly, "Zihe, what's going on, how did you get here?"

Cai Zhong looked sluggish, his throat rolled, and he said with difficulty: "According to the latest information, Sun Jian stationed in Xinye has already left and is heading towards our Xiangyang. The total strength may be 5."

hiss-!
Cai Mao was astonished, his eyes stared like bells, and he was stunned like a thunderbolt: "What? Sun Jian actually came to Xiangyang?"

Cai Zhong nodded affirmatively: "Well, it is indeed here."

Cai Mao was stunned, turned his head and glanced at Kuai Yue: "Yi Du, what should we do?"
