Chapter 337 Candidates

The three people in the room fell silent. The question of who to choose is very difficult. The newly acquired land is riddled with holes and people's hearts are unstable. It's okay for a general to speak, but an official for civil governance needs to be quite capable. It's not enough just to calm the people How to make these places not become a burden for Dingzhou in a short period of time, but become a booster, it is very difficult.

"Let's talk about Shanglinli first!" Li Qing said, "I plan to promote Luo Daoming, the magistrate of Xinyang County. Let it become a commercial distribution center on the grassland, let him do it, it is more appropriate, Master Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Yiming said: "Purely in terms of ability, Luo Daoming is indeed the most suitable candidate, but there is one thing that the commander has to consider!"

Li Qing smiled, "You mean his background?"

Lu Yiming nodded, "That's right, Commander, he must have been picked up by Xiao Yuanshan alone. Although he has outstanding ability, but entrusting such an important place like Shanglinli to him..."

Li Qing shook his head, "There is no doubt about employing people, and there is no need for doubting people. What's more, for the old officials, the Statistics and Investigation Department has conducted multiple rounds of selection. Luo Daoming can still stand tall, which in itself shows the problem. This person is still credible. , not to mention, he entered Shanglinli, one has no military power, and the other is that I believe that the Statistics and Investigation Department should also take precautions, so I think there should be no problem."

Shang Haibo continued: "The commander-in-chief is right. What we are in urgent need of in Dingzhou is talents. Luo Daoming is a talent, so he should be promoted. Besides, I also believe in Director Qingfeng's ability. Since Director Qingfeng didn't investigate If something goes wrong, then this person is credible. It's just that the commander-in-chief and the civilian officials are selected, so what about the generals stationed? After the Pingman campaign is over, Lu Dalin will definitely be called out from Shanglinli, so who will go to Shanglinli? "

Li Qingdao: "Let Yang Yidao go. Yidao works calmly. I'm going to let him command the [-] infantry of the Selected Front Battalion, and then transfer [-] cavalry from the Fusen side of the Red Department, and he will command them together."

"This is a great strategy!" Shang Haibo clapped his palms and said with a smile, "Shanglinli will become the settlement of the Bai and Huang tribes, but we have fewer people in Dingzhou. The Red tribe and the White and Yellow tribes hate each other. Participating in the garrison, the two tribes will not be able to do any tricks. It’s just the commander, will Fusen be willing to hand over his cavalry to our command? This is a disguised reduction of his military power.”

Li Qing sneered, "I can't help but he doesn't want to. What else can Fusen do now besides relying on us? If he wants to keep his wealth forever and enjoy a high position, he must obey our orders. Don't worry, Lu Dabing will persuade him. He is also a person who understands. People may not be happy in their hearts, but the general trend is that they can only obey orders."

Lu Yiming also praised: "This arrangement is really good. In Shanglin, there are three forces that restrain each other. In this way, safety can be guaranteed."

Li Qing smiled slightly. Luo Daoming had no one to rely on for the three forces that Lu Yiming mentioned. He relied purely on his ability to rise to the top. There are Fusen's red cavalry, and the partial red tribe is at odds with the white and yellow tribes who live here. Several parties check each other to form a stable triangle.

"It's been agreed in Shanglinli, but where are the Shiwei people outside the pass? The situation there is much more complicated than in Shanglinli, and it's too far away from Dingzhou." Lu Yiming said, "What's more, Shiwei's army was defeated by us like this. It’s cloudy, their clansmen must be very hostile to us. I think that when we first enter this place, small-scale resistance and wars will last for a while. The generals stationed here must be very outstanding in ability, and they must also be able to grasp the general situation. There must be a degree of restraint, not only to deter the people of Shiwei, but also not to kill too much and arouse a greater wave of resistance."

Li Qingdao: "Master Lu is right. The generals stationed here must be capable of both literary and military skills, as well as both ability and morality, to be competent. Can Mr. Shang choose someone?"

Shang Haibo was indecisive, and in his mind he moved the general generals in Dingzhou to and fro, only Liao Liao and a few of them were suitable for these points, "If we say that the most suitable one is General Lu Dabing, but General Dalin is certainly not. I hope that his only younger brother is in such a place as Yuanzhen, and the Red Department also needs Lu Dabing to be in the middle to coordinate and control. In this way, General Dabing is excluded, and the only one who can meet this point is the one-armed general Guan Xinglong .”

"Hang Dao immediately, I am the only General Guan!" Li Qing laughed, "Guan Xinglong is brave, hundreds of cavalry dared to go out of the city to fight in the field and burn the enemy's food and grass. , the lone army protruded from the grasslands, fought for thousands of miles, the loss of the soldiers was small, and the results of the battle made me pay attention to it. This person has the talent of a general, and he should be qualified for this position. In this way, let him lead the Hengdao Battalion 6000 I will ask Nuoqia for another [-] cavalry to garrison Shiwei. In addition, I will order the navy Deng Peng to station a navy at Shiwei port to ensure that Shiwei will not be chaotic."

"Hahaha!" Shang Haibo laughed, "In this way, only 5000 of the 5000 soldiers promised by the commander-in-chief to the Bai tribe will remain, and those [-] people will enter Shiwei. They are feuds with Shiwei. In that desolate and barren land, if we don't rely on us, the five thousand elite soldiers of the Bai tribe will not even be left with scum. Wonderful!"

Li Qing smiled, "I have no intention of plotting against the Bai cavalry. These people are extremely powerful, and I expect them to fight for me in the Central Plains!" There are only three people here, and Li Qing has no scruples to reveal his ambition .

"The commander-in-chief is right. If the barbarian elite soldiers can be used by me, they are indeed a strong army. These 5000 people went out with Guan Xinglong and fought with the Shiwei people for a few years. They depended on each other in blood and fire, and they could form some friendship. Fate, in the future the Shiwei will be stable, and they will be able to enter the customs again, so they can be used by the commander." Shang Haibo sighed: "The most precious friendship is the friendship formed in the flames of war, on the edge of life and death Hai Bo admires it, but the commander needs to explain this to Guan Xinglong, and ask him to pay special attention to this point when he is stationed in Shiwei."

"What about the cultural officials?" Lu Yiming was a little distressed, but he couldn't find any outstanding candidates. Now he protects the talented few like treasures, and it is absolutely impossible to let them go. state capital.

Li Qing looked at Lu Yiming's bitter face in an instant, and said with a smile: "I have a good candidate, but if I want him to go, I'm afraid it will take a lot of work. If he goes to sit in town, I will wait for him sit back and relax."

"Who is this person?" Lu Yiming's eyes lit up. To get such a comment from the commander-in-chief, he is certainly not an unknown person. Besides, as long as he does not poach the corners of his state capital, he is also happy.

"But you made a guess?" Li Qing laughed.

Lu Yiming said distressedly: "The commander-in-chief is embarrassing, how can I guess this?"

Shang Haibo went through all the characters he could think of in his mind, but he couldn't figure out who this person was. He looked at Li Qing suspiciously, and Li Qing said with a smile: "This person is not in my hands yet. He is willing to go out, it is still difficult, but I want to give it a try, I will talk about this matter when I get back to Dingzhou, anyway, Shiwei's army must go there first, and after gaining a firm foothold, we can talk about being sent. Legacy officials used to govern the place."

Hearing what Li Qing said, Shang Haibo suddenly came to his senses, "Marshal, is it possible for me to use this person? I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult, but if it really succeeds, it will kill multiple birds with one stone. Go worry about it!"

"It's up to people, how will you know if you don't try?" Li Qing laughed.

Listening to the two talking about this person in charades, Lu Yiming didn't know what to say, and couldn't help but asked anxiously: "Marshal, who are you talking about?"

Shang Haibo on the side said: "Old Lu, you still can't think of who this person is at this time? Think about what the commander said, in my Dingzhou, who else has these conditions?"

Lu Yiming carefully thought about the conversation between the commander in chief and Shang Haibo just now in his mind, and slowly opened his mouth, "Marshal, I'm afraid this matter will be very difficult, right?"

Li Qing said with a smile: "Let's talk about this matter after we go back. Alright, now the candidates for both the east and the west have been confirmed, but Bayan Har City is the place where the ancestors of the grassland clan lived, and it must be left here." Let Nuoqia send a cavalry force of 3000 to guard here. In the future, the entire grassland will be centered on Shanglinli and Shiwei settlements outside the pass, and most of the residents of Bayan Har Being removed by us, this place will inevitably weaken."

"It's good to be weak!" Shang Haibo said: "Bayan Har is the symbol of power of the grassland clan. The decline of this place will represent the end of one era and the rise of another era."

Hearing this, Li Qing couldn't help becoming a little excited. A new era, which belonged to him, Li Qing, will stand brand new, from Dingzhou Fuzhou to the west, and extend to the Shiwei area. Two thousand miles away, although the land is vast and sparsely populated, Li Qing believes that as long as he works hard, the originally desolate west will become a new land in Dachu, and it will also become a booster for him to enter the Central Plains.

"Marshal, there is another matter that I don't know what you are thinking about?" Shang Haibo asked suddenly.

"What's the matter?" Li Qing asked.

"Marshal, you forgot that we are still blocking the news about Emperor Tianqi's death, but you and Princess Qingcheng will return to Dingzhou soon. Once the princess returns, this matter can no longer be blocked. In my opinion, it is better to tell the princess here, otherwise it will be a disaster if the princess finds out when she returns to Dingzhou." Shang Haibo said.

Li Qing really forgot about this matter for a while. During this period of time, he was so busy with things that he didn't expect that there was still a big problem that had not been resolved.

"This?" Li Qing hesitated.

Seeing that Li Qing was in a bit of trouble, Shang Haibo smiled and said: "Forget it, Commander, let me be the villain. I'll go and ask the princess for guilt, and say that it's because I'm worried about shaking the morale of the army and affecting the war against barbarians. So it was forced down."

Lu Yiming laughed and said: "I'm afraid I have to add Director Qingfeng and I. If the three of us hadn't conspired to hide this matter so seamlessly, the commander-in-chief just pretended not to know and reprimanded us." , and confessed it in front of the princess."

Li Qing smiled wryly, "I'm afraid it's just to save face.
