Chapter 197 Fanning the Flame and Adding Oil to the Fire

"treachery!"

"ungrateful!"

Whether these charges are used for publicity to the people or mobilization of soldiers, they are absolutely lethal and influential.

In a word, it is only natural to borrow food to pay back food, and to pay back money owed.If I don't pay back the money, I'll force my soldiers to collect it myself.

However, Shou Han's next arrangement was chilling.

"Get rid of the Mo family, stop at the border for two to three months, and send to the hinterland of Guangxi the old miscellaneous equipment captured in previous battles, such as Burmese, Siamese, Dutch, and Spanish knives and guns Armor, sell it to the mainland. Those bullshit local magistrates, with swords, armor and gunpowder in their hands, will become more courageous and stronger, and things in Guangxi will become more and more difficult to deal with. Wait for them, a group of jumping clowns, toss for three months , our left army will go north to quell the chaos!"

What is this trick called?False way to destroy Guo?Drive away tigers and wolves?Fake insanity?Li Daitao stiff?It seems that such a trick cannot be found in the so-called 36 tactics. Although it sounds incredible, it can make the South China Army stand on the commanding heights of morality and public opinion.

"Remember, when our South China Army enters Guangxi, it is not allowed to burn, kill or plunder. It must be bought and sold by the public. Even if the boys want to solve the trouble in the crotch, they have to go to the place of decency, remember You must give money, and you must pay attention to hygiene, so as not to come back with dirty diseases!"

Shou Han's words caused a burst of relaxed laughter from the people present, emphasizing military discipline, suspected to show the image of a strong and strictly disciplined army in front of the people of Guangxi.Compared with the so-called Guangxi wolf soldiers of the Ming army and the chieftain soldiers they were used to before, this kind of army is undoubtedly a world apart. [

Xu Huanshan, who was already eager to try, simply stood up and asked for a job.Clasping his fists in front of his chest, he made a military salute, "My lord, Zhang Xiaohu is going to take people to Luzon after the new year, so please leave it to me for the left army to go north?! I dare to issue a military order. Tsinghua must be taken down within ten days. If you can't completely put down the bandits in Guangxi after sending troops to Guangxi and before the autumn harvest, I am willing to come and see you!"

"Bullshit!"

This is the second time Shou Han scolded him for messing around today.

"It takes you half a year to pacify the whole of Guangxi for Lao Tzu? You remember it for me. If you are sent, no matter who is sent as the commander of the left army, remember a principle. The first stage is to cooperate with the chieftains and officials from all over the country. Let us fight, those who fight against food, donations, and taxes. You can let it go first! You can’t eat persimmons and pick soft ones!”

Most of these people don't know what a persimmon is, and it presumably is a kind of fruit, but everyone can understand what Shou Han means.Besides, what's the point of beating peasants who only have farm tools in their hands?

"Miss Li didn't prepare people for you, can you fight them down and hold them?"

"There are officials."

Hearing Shouhan click his name.The two yamen couldn't help but immediately sat upright.Although it is impossible to go to battle to kill the enemy and win military merits for yourself, if you can make your own achievements in foreign battles, you can also use them as military merits to reward them.

"Your bureaucrats will select at least 500 people from the village heads, town heads, township heads, counties, prefects and other levels of officials from all over the country, and tell them to work in the Mo family's area. In addition, you must prepare at least Two hundred experienced village chiefs and town chiefs are preparing to go north to Guangxi to take up positions."

"The same is true for Li Si. Select at least 800 people from the village official training class and assign them to the official team in the north, and explain clearly to the graduates. This time working in Guangxi is good for their moral evaluation. Except for the village officials In addition, two batches of [-] to [-] teachers were selected from the school, one group went to the Mojia area, and the other group carried out cultural and educational activities for local children when our army went north to suppress the chaos in Guangxi."

People know very well that based on past experience, such measures will be implemented one by one.Starting from the village level, the most basic unit of Chinese society, administrative power will fall into the hands of the South China Army, while literacy and cultural education will quickly unify the ideology of those children receiving education and their parents and families. The banner of the South China Army came down, making them become part of the South China Army as quickly as possible.

Soon, nearly half of the people who participated in this meeting left the meeting hall in the courtyard of the signing house, and went to work on the things arranged by Shou Han.

"Now it's time to talk about Guangxi!"

There was a ferocious smile on the corner of Shou Han's mouth.

From February of the fifth year of Chongzhen.Since Xiong Wencan was promoted to the right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of Youqian capital, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi military affairs, and the governor of Guangdong, he has always expressed some ambiguous attitudes towards the existence of the South China Army.It's not like Li Fengjie and others before.As long as you have money, I don't care who you are? [

And our Lord Xiong is not only more fierce than anyone else in asking for money, but also relatively lacking in morals.One of his greatest military and political talents is to appease. The greatest achievement of this person is to appease the father of His Royal Highness Fu Songmaru, Zheng Zhilong, making Zheng Zhilong the most powerful water force in the Ming army during this period.But besides Zheng Zhilong, he also appeased several other forces.These forces are not as against the Ming court as Zheng Yiguan is.

First, the pirate Zhong Lingxiu whom he recruited first surrendered and then rebelled, and was captured by Zhilong. However, the remnants of Zhong Lingxiu's gang fled to Changting, Fujian, and then turned to Jiangxi to loot the ground. I have defeated this group of bandits many times, but I don't know if it's because Zheng Zhilong still has some kindred spirits with this group of bandits, or Zheng Zhilong intends to raise the bandits' self-respect, and they are always defeated and cannot be wiped out.At that time, the coast of Fujian was harassed by the Dutch and the Liu Xiang pirate group, posing a threat to the coasts of Guangdong, Fujian and other places.So our classmate Chongzhen ordered Mr. Xiong to quell this banditry, and restore peace to Fujian and Guangdong.

Faced with such a request, exterminate?Xiong Wencan thought to himself that he didn't have that ability, so he sacrificed again to appease this housekeeper.After some gossip and communication, Mr. Xiong sent Hong Yunzheng, who had made great achievements in encircling and suppressing Zhong Lingxiu's bandits, and his deputy Kang Chengzu, Xia Zhiben and Zhang Yijie to Liu Xiang's gang to publicize the imperial court. The grace of heaven is mighty, but as soon as they went there, they were all arrested by Liu Laoxiang.Faced with such a result, in order to avoid disasters from falling on him, Xiong Wencan simply resorted to the housekeeping skills of Marshal Canopy and beat him back.Shangzuo said that these officials misbelieved the pirates' words and acted on their own, but were detained by the pirates.

but.This trick was not played well, was seen through, and was impeached.In a fit of rage, Chongzhen gave him a downgraded punishment, making him take the blame.If it wasn't for continuing to hide his strength, Shou Han generously gave up his Nan'ao Island battle exploits to the Nan'ao Island deputy general, giving Guangdong a piece of credit that could be spread out, probably at this moment.Mr. Xiong still has that punishment on his head!

In this way, everyone has some impressions of Mr. Xiong's talent and character.

Since this is the case, then we will give you another good fire, pour some oil on the thick smoke and fire that fills all parts of Guangdong, and let him burn more vigorously!

"How many knives and guns are there in the warehouse?"

"Returning to my lord, there are more than [-] knives of various types. There are more than [-] gun heads of various types, more than [-] handles of various swords, and more than [-] handles of Japanese swords. More than a thousand handles."

After hearing the number of old miscellaneous knives and guns captured in previous battles stored in the warehouse, Shou Han nodded in satisfaction.If these knives and guns are used to equip the troops, the troops will look down on them.And the size is huge, which is quite different from the training requirements of the South China Army. If it is handed over to the immigrants in various villages, it will be a bit wasteful, especially the weapons seized from the Liu Xiang gang not long ago, all of which are of the highest quality. The Japanese sword is distributed to the Tunpu immigrants to use, it is really a secret vote of the pearl.In this way, these weapons will accumulate more and more in the warehouse.If it is to return to the furnace.It is indeed a pity that these knives and guns have become a tasteless rib in the minds of the Nanzhong Army.Now this piece of chicken rib has a great use.

"These knives and guns, Japanese knives and seedling knives were sent to the Taipingdong Armory, where they were carefully maintained, polished, and oiled. After a year, they were handed over to Mr. Li and transported to Guangdong. They were sold to the people who revolted against grain."

"Sell? Sell to those who resist grain and tax?"

Shou Han's evaluation and positioning of the anti-grain and anti-tax trend in the hinterland of Guangdong is very puzzling.In Nanzhong, do not say that you dare to violently resist taxes, do you dare to try to pay less money?Do you dare to try to evade a penny of tax money?

But why did the lord's attitude take a 180-degree turn when things came to Guangdong?

"Oh! Yes! You reminded me right!" Shou Han seemed to wake up from a dream.He patted the warehouse official on the shoulder and praised him a few words.

"Those who stood up to fight against grain are the hardest and hardest farmers. Where can they find money to buy our swords and guns? Alas! Who made me soft-hearted? We can't just watch them being killed by those officers and soldiers like a chicken." The same was killed, right?"

The official of the Warehousing Department wanted to cry. He originally planned to remind Shou Han that he could not support these violent tax resisters, but he didn't want to remind Shou Han that these tax resisters were not rich.In fact, where would it not be rich?They have robbed so many villages and towns, which one can't clean out thousands of taels of gold and silver?

"Let Second Young Master Li send someone to contact these leaders, and tell them not to kill too much. You can send people they don't like to a shop that has dealings with the Hanyuan company in Zuojin, and gather them to exchange weapons and weapons!"

An activity that is either called the number of people alive, or scolded as the most immoral human trade, just took shape in Shouhan's signing room.

The staff officers of the several battalion offices exchanged glances with each other, their eyes full of sympathy for Mr. Xiong and his soldiers who were not fully equipped with armor and equipment. "These people who stood up to fight against the food had no choice but to fight to the death. Now that they have the swords and weapons provided by the lord, I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers who went to encircle and suppress them are the ones who should say that their lives are suffering!"

However, before this group of people finished expressing their sympathy for Governor Xiong, another method of Shou Han's was freshly baked.As soon as this trick came out, people immediately looked sad when they mentioned Governor Xiong. They kept analyzing in their minds, how did this guy offend the lord, and the lord wanted to treat him like this?

"At least 500 armored commanders, 100 team officers, 40 sentry officers, and 5 battalion officers were drawn from the Phoenix, Jinwei, Xuanwu, Qilin and other battalions. In addition, the battalion officers and sentry officers can lead a team of first-class soldiers. by your side."

After such a rough calculation, the equivalent of three or four battalions of the Nanzhong Army went out at once, and most of them were backbones at all levels.

"My lord, why is this?" Chen Tianhua, the general manager of the camp affairs office, seemed to understand Shou Han's thoughts, but he didn't dare to think further.

"How do you think those farmers who have just put down their scythes for harvesting rice are the opponents of those officers and soldiers? So, we have to help them! By the way, let our brothers enter Guangdong to develop on the ground earlier."

Shou Han's approach is similar to the method used to reform and incorporate the anti-Japanese armed forces that were spontaneously organized in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, and took out a large number of squad leader backbones to join these armed forces.Let them implement the regular army's system, learn the techniques and tactics of the regular army, and implement the discipline of the regular army.After several battles, these original spontaneous armed forces became regular troops.

Such an approach is indeed a good way for the South China Army, which has always been limited by the population and labor shortage and cannot expand its scale.Think about the anti-grain unrest that spread across almost the entire Guangdong region. At least tens of thousands of strong teams can be pulled out of it.With these people.The control and digestion of the entire South Central region will be accelerated a lot.

Expanding the strength of the troops in this way is much more scientific than the current coercion and annexation practices of the rogues or the peasant army in the mainland, and it is very good for the coordination of internal relations.It will not be like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who are known as millions of people under their command.But the real core force, the troops that can fight are only tens of thousands of Shaanxi fellows in the old battalion.

There was an excellent opportunity to build a career in front of him, to say that Chen Tianhua wasn't tempted would be lying with his eyes open.

After being in charge of the battalion affairs office under Shou Han for so many years, what he did was planning and preparing before the war, formulating various documents and plans, and raising materials.Adjusting the coordinated actions between the various ministries, as for actually commanding an army to attack the enemy and seize land, this has always been Chen Tianhua's dream, and it is also a shortcoming in his resume.

"It's only a matter of time on paper. For my own fame and career, and for the sake of not being teased and ridiculed by those guys when we drink together in the future, this time I go to Guangdong, and I must be the leader!"

I made up my mind.Chen Tianhua fell down and bowed down, "My lord! This subordinate is not talented, but he is quite familiar with Guangdong affairs, and I would like to command this Guangdong war!"

Seeing his deputy chief of staff stand up and ask to go to Guangdong, Shou Han was secretly happy.Chen Tianhua has been managing the Operations Office, that is, the headquarters, for a long time, although he is very familiar with the business.It is also very convenient to use, but, as a commander, you have to consider not only the smoothness of your own use.That's what my grandparents said.Didn't the best Chief of Staff Liu in the entire army also ask to serve as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy during the Tianjin campaign?

He has never actually commanded a war, and has always been a civil servant engaged in armaments.Without that murderous aura on his body, he can't restrain the group of men who are used to fighting blood on the battlefield.

"Really want to go?" Shou Han intentionally made it difficult for his deputy chief of staff (the battalion office will handle it, which is actually the role of the deputy chief of staff of the headquarters.)

"Yes!" Chen Tianhua's attitude was very firm.

"But you went, here," Shouhan drew two circles outward with his fingers, meaning the affairs of the camp affairs office, "Who should I go to?"

"My lord, I have observed that Huang Wuqi, the right rear battalion officer of the Guards Battalion, has a good grasp of various rules and regulations, and this person's mind is very clear. The writing is also relatively simple. Among the first-level battalion officers He is called the best! If there is no such thing as sending troops to Guangdong this time, the subordinates also plan to ask the lord for instructions and transfer him to the camp affairs office!"

Seeing that Chen Tianhua has already selected someone to replace him, it seems that he has already had the idea of ​​going down to lead the army, and it is not easy to hinder others' ambition.Moreover, from another rather dark point of view, the current leading generals, Wang Bao, Zhang Xiaohu, Xu Huanshan, Chu Tianlei and others, are respectively in charge of the Phoenix Battalion, the left wing of the navy, and the left wing of the navy. Right Wing, Xuanwu Battalion, Training Fleet and other departments, the Guards Battalion, which was previously led by Ye Qi, has become the direct command of Shou Han.

When Chen Tianhua goes down to lead the troops, he will inevitably select personnel from these several troops to form a new system, which will not help prevent the original command system from becoming a hilltop.

"Okay! Since you insist on going, I won't stop you. When you go back, I will find Huang Wuqi, and I will meet him. After that, you will still send an official document in the name of the camp affairs office to transfer him to the camp affairs office. Come here and upgrade him to one level. Help you work in the name of assistant manager of the camp affairs department! Hurry up and let him familiarize himself with the work and handle the handover."

"Afterwards, you will still command the troops entering Guangdong in the name of the battalion office. As for the military pay, equipment, supplies, etc., I will arrange for the second son Li in Guangzhou to be responsible for the transfer."

"My lord! I have something to say!"

Seeing that Shouhan settled down with Chen Tianhua, and mentioned military pay and other matters, Hu Si Chengxuan, He Qibao, who was silent for a while, couldn't help but speak. In order to show his attitude, he specially used a very taboo self-proclaimed .

Hearing this address, Shou Han's eyelids couldn't help but jump, and his chest couldn't help but feel blood rushing for a while, and he almost answered according to the pre-conceived routine several times, "What's the matter with Ai Qing?"

But, still held back.

"What's the matter? Say it!"

"My lord just talked about the military salary for Mr. Chen. The minister is in charge of the household department and manages the finances. I know that this time is of great importance. I don't know where to raise the money and how to list it?"
