Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 152
Sweep!crush!destroy!

After the medical battalion led by Liu Shenwei combined with local earthwork to treat various soldiers' injuries, and formulated a detailed prevention plan for the barracks, the Tang army led by Cheng Zhijie swept the Liaoren forces with thunderous force.

What is called killing a chicken with a sledgehammer is shown vividly and vividly, and the picture is simply horrible.

Feng An and Cheng Zhijie joined together and rushed to the front as vanguard officers and guides. The Liaoren had never seen such an exaggerated military force.

Feng An fired seven arrows in a row, killing seven of the enemy soldiers. Probably the Liaoren, whose discipline was comparable to bandits, immediately deserted.

Then Feng An sent his troops to pursue the victory and beheaded more than a thousand people. The Liao people scattered and fled into the mountains.

Originally, Feng An thought that Cheng Zhijie would return to the court soon, but he didn't expect that the military officers of the Tang Dynasty were all good at generals and prime ministers. Don't look at Cheng Zhijie as a big man with a fat body and a strong back.

But in fact, this person has been working as an assassin in Luzhou, Shu. Li Shimin asked Cheng Zhijie to be the commander-in-chief of the army, which more or less meant to let Cheng Zhijie govern.

It is impossible for Cheng Zhijie to go back this year, and he will wait for the food to be harvested and the local people's livelihood to be stable before leaving.

In addition, many people may not believe it. If the water control ability of the Tang Dynasty has scores, Cheng Zhijie's water control ability will not reach [-]%, but at least [-]%. There are still Cheng Zhijie's relics near the Yueyang River.

So Cheng Zhijie drew pictures of these waterways one by one, and planned to recruit Liaoren refugees to garrison the fields.

Cheng Zhijie had dealt with the Tieshan Liaoren rebellion in Luzhou, and he knew that it was more important to let them survive than to suppress it by force. Let these people change their customs and become the population on the household registration of the Tang Dynasty. This is the real way to put down the rebellion.

Moreover, the mainstream direction of the Tang Dynasty is to increase the population. After all, the registered population is too small. Li Shimin wants to enfeoff, and even Li Tai, who supports the enfeoffment system, does not stand by Li Shimin, which makes Li Shimin very helpless.

But for local officials, it is the most tangible achievement for these bureaucrats to plan the population on the imperial tax roster.

Therefore, it is unrealistic for Cheng Zhijie to say how high his internal affairs ability is, but with the blessing of force, he is actually quite suitable as an administrator in the border area.

To some extent, it can be regarded as a perfect match.

Therefore, Cheng Zhijie spent a month on the road, a month to quell the Liaoren rebellion, and the remaining month, basically trying to appease and calm down the Liaoren who fled into the mountains.

Then, Cheng Zhijie sent soldiers to investigate the surrounding water potential, looking for a suitable place to improve the canal and create fertile fields.

At the same time, troops were sent to garrison the steep passes to prevent the Liao people from entering and leaving freely. They even planned to rob the wild rice, imitating Zhuge Ke's strategy, and slowly strangled the Liao people, completely eliminating the scourge in Lingnan.

Feng An did not expect that Cheng Zhijie looked like a domineering general, but in fact he acted in a rigorous and grand manner.

It's just that the Tang army has already entered Lingnan, and even Feng An has seen their fighting power with his own eyes, so he really doesn't want to turn his face.

After all, I am still the number one hero now, and Cheng Zhijie will return to Chang'an in a few years, and it will be the same when I become the King of Lingnan again.

Let's endure it first. I endured Chen Longshu for so long, and now I'm not short of Cheng Zhijie.

And when Cheng Zhijie was investigating the waterway, Liu Shenwei came to him.

Cheng Zhijie didn't dare to neglect in the slightest, after all, the medical battalion played a big role in the army's progress so smoothly this time.

Originally marching to Lingnan in July and August, the weather is hot and humid, and the plague is likely to break out, but I followed Liu Shenwei's method, at least until now, except for the first time entering the Lingnan area. There has been no plague.

Even if the soldiers were bitten by some local poisonous insects, Liu Shenwei could cure them completely, but he could always find a way to suppress them. After suppressing for about ten years, the soldiers basically survived by force.

Therefore, not only Cheng Zhijie, but the entire army was at a loss for the medical battalion from the beginning, and now it has become respectful.

"Does Doctor Liu have any needs, just say so, you don't need to be polite!" Cheng Zhi beat his chest and said.

"That's right." Liu Shenwei said to Cheng Zhijie, "When the manager sent people to survey the waterways, our medical camp surveyed the land in the Lingnan area and found that the Guangzhou area is flat, with abundant water conservancy, and has the potential to become a farmer.

I don’t know if the governor can let the governor of Guangzhou grant us the right to develop the agricultural college, and we will develop the farmland by ourselves. "

To be honest, don't look at the Lingnan area where fathers don't care, mothers don't love, and are disgusted by the Central Plains court, but Guangzhou is the only exception among all Lingnan states and counties.

The officials here have descendants of aristocratic families, northern tyrants, and even royal blood, but there is no mention of being demoted to Guangzhou.

It can be seen that Guangzhou is a place in the south of the Five Ridges.

Even to a certain extent, the entire Lingnan area, be it Feng An or Chen Longshu, they don't mind being the Lingnan court, as long as they don't affect Guangzhou, that's enough.

To some extent, Guangzhou can be regarded as a municipality directly under the Central Government of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, Guangzhou may not be a nail buried in the Lingnan area by the Tang Dynasty.

Historically, before Feng An's death, Jiaozhou and Guangzhou were both important commercial centers in the Lingnan area, but after Feng An's death, Jiaozhou, which was controlled by the Feng family, was completely lonely.

And all talents and resources are basically absorbed in Guangzhou, and Guangzhou has become an important node of the Maritime Silk Road.

The centripetal force brought about by economic prosperity has an obvious siphon effect on the surrounding backward areas.

And through this important node, the Tang Dynasty completely controlled the entire Lingnan, even after the Anshi Rebellion, it never gave up.

So if you want to take root in Guangzhou, you must either get the support of the governor of Guangzhou, or the support of Cheng Zhijie, the general manager of Lingnan Road.

"Lingnan has a lot of land and few people, so it's not a problem if you want the right to cultivate land.

Even cultivated land can enjoy tax-free treatment for the first year.

It's just that, aren't all of your medical camps from Guanzhong?Ready to stay in Guangzhou? "

It was strange for Cheng Zhijie to hear the words of the medical camp. After all, he never expected that the medical camp would have to work across professions.

"Director Cheng is joking, we will naturally go back with the army!" Liu Shenwei said seriously,
"It's just that this field is not for us, but for the Agricultural Institute.

Before the king of Yue came, he told me that if he came to Guangzhou, he would find a way to take as much land as possible and reclaim it.

When the war is over, he will send students from the Agricultural Institute to establish a branch school. "

"The king of Yue actually wants to establish a branch school in Lingnan?" Hearing this, Cheng Zhijie was a little inconceivable.

To be honest, from the perspective of those who have experienced the Xuanwu Gate change, although Li Tai established the agricultural school with public intentions in it, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no selfish intention.

But it is true that publicity is more important than selfishness, so the establishment of the school was also established, and everyone turned a blind eye to it.

After all, this matter is somewhat beneficial to the entire Datang.

But Cheng Zhijie never expected that Li Tai would be willing to set up an agricultural school in Lingnan, what's the point?
Yes, Cheng Zhijie really couldn't find the significance of Li Tai's establishment of an agricultural school in Lingnan?
Can't see how this is good for Li Tai?
Even the students originally trained by Li Tai Agricultural University were further smashed into this bottomless pit.

"What a strange thing." Liu Shenwei looked at Cheng Zhijie's startled look, and said proudly,

"The Agricultural Institute was originally established to provide food and clothing for the common people in the Tang Dynasty.

Since Lingnan is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and the people of the Tang Dynasty rule it, it is only natural for the agricultural college to establish a branch in Lingnan!

The king of Yue also said that he didn't plan to establish a branch school in Lingnan, but he believed that Manager Cheng's ability would surely put down the chaos.

Lingnan has just experienced great chaos, as the so-called great chaos and great order, so the people here understand the value of peace better.

It is because we are hungry that we know how to cherish food.

This allowed us to set up an outpost in the medical camp, and students and teachers from agricultural colleges will come over one after another. "

"I didn't expect King Yue to have such perseverance!" Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but sigh.

Looking at Liu Shenwei in front of him again, for some reason, he always felt like there was a halo floating around this guy, making him feel ashamed of his own thoughts.

That's right, the current king of Yue is only eleven or twelve years old. What does such a child know about seizing the heir apparent? He is clearly devoted to Datang!
Cheng Zhijie said to Liu Shenwei: "You give the right to develop, as long as the undeveloped wild land is gradually reclaimed.

However, how much land is reclaimed must be registered in the register. If there are concealed reports, don't blame me for being ungrateful. "

"Please rest assured, General." Liu Shenwei said to Cheng Zhijie, "If they find out, I will be the first to deal with them."

Cheng Zhijie nodded. In fact, there was something concealed and concealed, and Cheng Zhijie didn't care.

Because even if the court in Guangzhou still attaches great importance to it, it would be too unrealistic to talk about developing Guangzhou.

Now that Yue Wang Toutie wants to jump in, it is impossible for Cheng Zhijie to stop him, and even encourage him.

After all, this will definitely strengthen the connection between Lingnan and the court. For Cheng Zhijie, why not do this.

As for the so-called concealment, the current Lingnan area, even if it is still the mainstream of Guangzhou, is still sparsely populated and sparsely populated.

Ten thousand steps back, how much tax does Lingnan pay the court now?Not much at all.

If it weren't for the imperial court's lack of places for prisoners to be exiled, such as remote areas such as the west of Lingnan Road and the south of Jiangnan Road, the imperial court would have wanted to give up.

However, Cheng Zhijie felt that Li Tai should mention Li Shimin's idea of ​​establishing an agricultural school here in Lingnan.

It's not appropriate to put this matter in the newsletter, so I put it in the private memorial, let's send it together!

With a swipe of his pen, Cheng Zhijie wrote a good report and a private memorial, and sent a horse to send them to Chang'an.

His success report was sent directly to the palace all the way. As for his report, Li Shimin saw it belatedly after drinking the hangover soup handed over by Empress Changsun and finishing his morning court.

"Zhijie has a set of skills in dealing with Liao people. I think in two to three years, this Lingnan Road will be stable!"

Li Shimin looked at the memorial sent by Cheng Zhijie, showing a look of relief.

However, Li Shimin couldn't help being puzzled seeing that Li Tai actually planned to establish an agricultural school in Lingnan through the medical camp.

My own child can't see through it, why did he spend so much effort to go to Lingnan!What about the benefits to Li Tai himself?
To be honest, if the students from agricultural colleges are not good enough to be officials, they are basically excellent officials.

Under such circumstances, Li Shimin sees no value in throwing a group of students from agricultural colleges in the Lingnan area!

"Fang Qing, let's take a look at this!" Li Shimin handed the memorial of Cheng Zhijie to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling got the memorial and looked at it, especially Cheng Zhijie's plan to deal with the Southern Liaoren, so he couldn't help but nodded.

He praised, "Su Guo's public soldiers are well-equipped and well-governed. He can be called a good general in the world. From then on, Lingnan can be safe."

"It's not this, it's mainly the following content!" Li Shimin said to Fang Xuanling.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Fang Xuanling continued to read, his expression froze, but he was a little surprised and said,
"The King of Yue is planning to establish a branch of the Agricultural Academy in Lingnan."

To be honest, compared to Li Shimin's doubts, Fang Xuanling was more surprised.

Because Fang Xuanling was aware of the deal between himself and Li Tai, if Li Tai moved his manpower to Youzhou, he would not feel strange, and would even take it for granted.

But now Li Tai is transporting the manpower he cultivated to Lingnan Guangzhou, which makes Fang Xuanling feel surprised.

After all, no matter what the reason is, the Lingnan area is far away from the imperial court, so it is impossible to help Li Tai!
Under such circumstances, Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Xuanling, do you also feel incredible?"

"Saint, the King of Yue has always been far-sighted in doing things, and he can see thousands of miles away, so let's stop guessing here.

Let the king of Yue come over and explain the matter clearly! "

Fang Xuanling resolutely used her spiritual talent to simulate Li Tai's thinking a little bit.

As a result, it seemed that the only reason was to strive for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and this made Fang Xuanling even less convinced.

If it is said that Li Tai is fighting for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling believes it, but if it is said that Li Tai is fighting purely for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling does not believe it anyway.

After all, there is no so-called perfect person in this world. If Li Tai is such a person, Fang Xuanling would not believe it anyway.

"Let Qingque come to the palace!" Li Shimin pressed his head, although he didn't want to admit it, but in fact the influence of the agricultural school founded by Li Tai has already been brought out.

After all, some colleges graduated from agricultural colleges can be awarded directly to agricultural officials. Under such circumstances, it is really impossible for Li Taizuo to establish a branch of the agricultural college and another branch of the agricultural college.

But Li Tai was hesitating in the Yue Palace at the moment. He didn't report it yesterday because of the banquet, but since the good news had come, Li Tai felt that it was time for him to advise Li Shimin to invest in the Lingnan area.

Then, the person who announced the decree came to Yue Wangfu and let Li Tai enter the palace.
