Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 844 Seeking Stability is Not Wrong

"The current situation is so complicated, seeking stability is what Huguang needs to do!"

Huguang.

Wuchang Mansion.

Governor's Yamen.

Fan Jingwen sat on the official chair, staring at Zhao Lujiao, Deng Qilong and the others, and said in a stern tone: "I know the situation in Changsha and Hengzhou better than you do. I will give the order when it is time to act, but without my order, all you have to do is to train new soldiers in Wuchang Prefecture!!"

"But Futai~"

After hearing this, Zhao Lujiao couldn't hide his worry and said, "Right now, the grain prices in these places are so high. The key is that they are close to the border of Jiangxi. If the soldiers and civilians in Changsha, Hengzhou and other places are forced into a desperate situation by such grain prices, there is no guarantee that someone will choose to take risks!"

"Yes, Futai."

Deng Qilong followed closely and said, "Even if I were to go to various places in Wuchang Prefecture to gather refugees and select new soldiers, only a few would be selected, and most would have to settle down temporarily."

"Under such circumstances, if chaos really breaks out in Changsha and Hengzhou, it will not only have an impact on Huguang, but will also have an impact on Jiangxi and other places."

"Not to mention Guizhou. An Ni's rebellion has just been suppressed. If there is a disturbance in Huguang and then spreads to Guizhou, who knows whether the chieftains there will think of something else?"

The atmosphere in the main hall became subtle.

Looking at the generals in front of him, Fan Jingwen wanted to say something but stopped himself. However, his inner reason told him that now was not the time to speak. It was not that he did not trust Zhao Lu to teach them, but the current situation was too complicated, and the internal situation of Huguang was too complicated. If any mistakes were made during his plan, all his efforts would fail.

"I've already said that you don't need to worry about things that you shouldn't worry about."

Fan Jingwen pondered for a moment, waved his hand and said to the others, "Alright, I still have to deal with civil affairs, you can leave first, and train the new recruits for me. If you dare to make mistakes, don't blame me for being ruthless!!"

"Futai!"

"Futai!"

Zhao Luejiao, Deng Qilong and others were all shouting, but Fan Jingwen ignored them and got busy at his desk. Seeing this, everyone left in anger.

Since they were ordered to follow Fan Jingwen to Huguang to take up the post, Zhao Lushio, Deng Qilong and others have been full of fighting spirit. After all, they came to Huguang with an imperial order.

We must work together with Fan Jingwen to solve some of the long-standing problems in Huguang.

Since it is a long-standing problem, it includes military and political aspects.

However, since taking office in Huguang, Zhao Luejiao, the governor of Huguang, and a group of people including Deng Qilong, Zhang Mingshi, Tang Jiuzhou, and Sun Xianzu have done nothing except gathering refugees and training new soldiers. It's not that they don't want to, but Fan Jingwen doesn't allow them to.

Originally, Zhao Luejiao wanted to inspect various places in Huguang and learn about the garrisons under its jurisdiction, but just as he was walking around the territory of Wuchang Prefecture, he was brought back by people sent by Fan Jingwen.

This made Zhao Lujiao very angry.

There are obviously a lot of things to do, but it turns out to be like this. It's really frustrating to be the governor of Huguang.

"Futai, you really don't plan to tell Zhao Tirong and the others?"

Not long after, a man walked out from behind the screen, looked at Fan Jingwen who was busy at his desk, and said with a complicated expression: "What if Zhao Tirong and the others are dissatisfied with you, the governor, and then have other ideas, then..." "I believe they won't."

Fan Jingwen paused for a moment, sighed and said, "When I was in the Beijing camp, I knew them well. In the current situation, it is right not to tell them."

"Right now, in Huguang, there are countless eyes staring at me, staring at them, so I want to let everyone know that I am a cautious and pedantic person, so that some things can be resolved."

"But this is unfair to the governor."

The man frowned slightly, looked at Fan Jingwen and said, "Right now, not only the Huguang side, but even Sun Futai and others may have opinions about you, Futai."

“It’s not wrong to play it safe.”

Fan Jingwen smiled and said, "The more people know about this idea, the better it will be for me. After all, what Governor Sun did is equally important."

"The garrisons under the jurisdiction of Yunyang have indeed reached the point where they must be rectified. If they are not rectified, the development of Hanzhong and other places will not be long-term."

"If Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places had not been in chaos, I would not have to endure it until now. But these places have been in chaos, so Huguang must fight and resolve it quickly!!"

Speaking of this, Fan Jingwen's eyes became sharp.

No one knew better than Fan Jingwen how important the location of Huguang was.

Huguang is an important province through which traffic passes, and all the places surrounding it are strategically located. The rebellion in Guizhou has just been suppressed, but a rebellion has broken out in Jiangxi, and the disaster in Henan is still going on. The situation in Guangdong and Guangxi seems to be peaceful, but that is just appearance. According to what Fan Jingwen knows, ever since Chen Qiuyu took office as the governor of Guangdong, he wanted to open up the sea and build a new city in Xin'an. The situation in Guangdong has never been peaceful, especially in Haojing, where many things have happened.

Fan Jingwen came to Huguang to take up the post with an important responsibility, but he could not just consider himself. The more he learned about Huguang, the more Fan Jingwen understood that his position was one that would affect the entire body. After all, many things happening in Huguang right now were too deeply involved with some people.

Either don’t do it at all, or if you do it, you must do it to the extreme!!
Since Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, his style of doing things has quietly influenced many people.

"I don't know what the current situation is in several places in Zhejiang."

After hearing this, the man frowned and said to Fan Jingwen: "Now I am not worried about Zhejiang, but Fujian. I always feel that Fujian cannot be just a few rebellions."

"Yes."

Fan Jingwen sighed and said, "Zhejiang is better, at least it is rich, but Fujian is different, there are many mountains and little land, which is why so many people live by the sea."

"Although the court was lukewarm about maritime affairs before, the attitude gradually changed after Your Majesty ascended the throne. However, maritime smuggling has always existed in Fujian."

"If the Japanese invasion in Zhejiang is real, then Fujian cannot be spared. But if it is fake, I am afraid some people will not let Fujian go."

"After all, if Fujian were to fall into chaos, the entire Southeast would be in complete chaos. Don't forget that Fujian is the only place in the Southeast that has a full-fledged navy. As for other places, although they have some, they are useless."

"I hope that Xiong Futai can stabilize the situation in Fujian."

After hearing this, the man frowned and said, "No matter what, Fujian cannot have a major chaos. At least we have to wait until the army that is going to suppress the Japanese arrives in Zhejiang. Fujian cannot have a major chaos. Otherwise, the subsequent suppression of the Japanese will definitely be bumpy."

Yes.

Fan Jingwen sighed inwardly, it was just that in the current situation, apart from taking care of Huguang, he didn't have the energy or ability to take care of other places.
