Chapter 884 A Tiny Crisis

Li Wenyuan reached for his letter, read it, and nodded firmly.

"Yes, no matter whether the general is happy or angry, even if I'm dismissed, I will send this letter. Mr. Yuan Huang has taught us that a gentleman is like a beast, he can't bear to see him die. Hearing his voice, I can't bear to eat his flesh, I don't do it for those rich and heartless people, but to prevent people from becoming inferior to beasts!"

Chen Lin was slightly moved, sighed, and said nothing more.

Xiao Ruxun saw Li Wenyuan's letter four and a half days later after being transferred by Heishui spies. At that time, Xiao Ruxun was on a large ship leading the army's Northern Expedition. He had just had lunch and was taking a rest when the people from Heishui suddenly asked to see him and sent a letter. .

"This is a letter from Li Wenyuan, the leader of the Xuanwu camp. Commander-in-Chief, my subordinates found out that Li Wenyuan, the leader of the Xuanwu camp, had a lot of criticisms about the land reform in Fujian. He expressed his dissatisfaction several times and tried to intervene in the land reform several times. Xiu stopped, but still did not give up."

The black water agent knelt on one knee and told Xiao Ruxun what he knew.

"I just received Liu Xiu's complaint letter yesterday, saying that Li Wenyuan interfered in his actions, which violated my will. Li Wenyuan's letter came quickly, um, let me see... yo! Not bad, not bad, I still have a lot of reading. It works, a gentleman is like a beast, he can't bear to see his life, he can't bear to see his death, he can't bear to eat his flesh when he hears his voice, well said! Mr. Yuan's teaching is not in vain!"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ruxun looked at the Blackwater agent in front of him.

"Do you know the meaning of this sentence?"

Blackwater agent shook his head: "I don't know."

"This sentence is about a conversation between King Qi Xuan, the king of Qi, and Mencius during the Warring States period. It said that King Qi Xuan saw a palace man leading a cow passing in front of him. The sound of the cow was very miserable. When asked what the cow was used for, the palace man said that it was going to be sacrificed.

King Xuan of Qi said, I can't bear to see the cow so frightened after letting it go. The palace man asked again, what should the priest do?King Xuan of Qi said that it would be good to replace it with a sheep.

When Mencius learned of this, he asked King Xuan of Qi if it was true. King Xuan of Qi said yes. He couldn't bear to see the cow being killed, and felt that it was too pitiful, so he let it go. Mencius In other words, if you feel that the cow is pitiful, you can replace it with a sheep. Isn’t the sheep pitiful?

King Xuan of Qi laughed and said that he didn't understand what was going on with him. Mencius said, this is a show of kindness. A gentleman can't bear to let birds and beasts die when he sees them alive, and he can't bear to hear their wailing. eat their flesh. "

As he said that, Xiao Ruxun put down the letter in his hand, and said with a smile: "Li Wenyuan was telling me that he couldn't stand the miserable conditions of those people when they died, and told me that he couldn't bear it, and felt that the people in the land reform working group and Those farmers are no longer as good as animals, saying that I kill too many people is against the peace, and he can't stand it."

The black water secret agent said: "The subordinates don't know these principles, but the subordinates know that the commander-in-chief's land reform is to let the peasants have land, and the peasants did get the land. As for the rich households, if you want to blame them, you can blame them for being rich and unkind. "

"Not all people are unkind to the rich. There are also good people who are willing to do good, and there are also benevolent landlords and gentry."

Xiao Ruxun leaned on the chair, narrowed his eyes and said: "It's just that there are too few people like this. Although I asked them to accept those big gentry households who voluntarily handed over their land to join the peasant association, there are too few of them. There are only three or fifty in total in Ming Dynasty. Thousands of scholars, how many gentry families are there who can become gentry? How many people are compassionate? It’s just that there are the most gentry in the southeast, and there are no gentry in many places. I want to kill no one to kill.”

"Then, what does the commander-in-chief mean?"

"Of course we can't go on killing like that. It's really too much. You can't even tell the difference between humans and animals. What the land reform working group wants is reason. They want to control behind the scenes. Control is both control and control. Control is as important as control. It's not that they are crazy like farmers. If they can't manage themselves, I will help them manage it!

Pass my order and tell Xie He what land Liu Xiu still has. The Five Tiger Generals, from the moment they received the order, maliciously resist those who refuse to obey. The men will be killed, and the young women are not allowed to kill. The sergeants of the wives are wives, and they can have more children in the future, how good it is!
Those who are willing to hand over their land and all their family property, regardless of gender, age or child, are calculated on a head-to-head basis. Each person in the family will leave 50 mu of land and [-] taels of silver. They can keep their ancestral home. In the Central Plains, those whose land is less than [-] mu per capita shall not be harmed. We are seeking survival for landless farmers and refugees, not killing people for the sake of killing people!Blackwater is in charge of supervision! "

Xiao Ruxun's words were strong, and Blackwater Agent immediately knelt down on one knee to express his understanding.

"Subordinates obey!"

"and also!"

Xiao Ruxun's face turned cold, and he said, "Li Wenyuan's deputy is Zheng Ying who is currently in Zhejiang, right?"

"Yes!"

"Send someone to tell Zheng Ying that from now on he is the head general of the Xuanwu Camp, and my elder brother Xiao Ruzhi will be the deputy general of the Xuanwu Camp, cooperating in supervising Chen Lin in Fujian."

The Blackwater agent was stunned: "Zheng Ying was promoted to the head of the Xuanwu Battalion? What about Li Wenyuan?"

"The military commander is in charge of fighting. Who allows him to interfere with other things? I have forgotten the most basic and important orders to the back of my head. If I make a little contribution and read some books, he will be capable, right? I can't stand what I have done. Right? Now it’s time to write a letter, so the next step is to bring troops to attack me?!

Go back to Myanmar and reflect on me!Go and become a policeman under Chen Xie!No promotion or transfer without order!Tell me this order in secret to the chief generals and deputy generals of the Eighth Battalion, let them pass it on internally, and reiterate my order!
Tell them all, what should be done and what should not be done, they must understand, let them remember clearly for me!If there is a recurrence, it is not as simple as dismissal! "

Xiao Ruxun was furious.

"Yes!"

The Blackwater agent got the order, and was just about to run out, but was stopped again.

"Also! Heishui's duty is to tell me all the news about any troubles in the occupied area. They have done such a great job, why hasn't Heishui notified me in detail so far? Each person above the captain of Heishui will be fined [-] month, and then go to Nanjing to tell Zhang Wu that there will be no next time!"

The Blackwater agent swallowed, paused, and said, "Obey!"

After the Blackwater agent left, Xiao Ruxun took a few deep breaths, sat on a chair alone, and began to think about the current situation.

The current situation, obviously, is not harmful to him. Shen Yiguan has reached the end of the road and has no hope. With his advance, he will have no way out, but he is different, he has the advantage, and many things can be done .

It's just that in a good situation, there are also small crises hidden. It looks very small now, but if it is indulged, it will become very difficult.

For example, Heishui's slack first appeared, and he understood why Zhu Di set up the East Factory above Jinyiwei to monitor Jinyiwei. Zhu Yijun and Luo Sigong learned from the past, and Xiao Ruxun began to think about how to effectively supervise and control Heishui.

Another example is that the Zhennan Army's [-] infantry, [-] cavalry and [-] naval divisions are now seriously overstaffed.

Yunnan surrendered more than 1 soldiers from Deng Zilong, Sichuan surrendered more than 3 Sichuan soldiers from Liu Ting, Guangxi received 3 wolf soldiers and 27 Han soldiers, and Guangdong received [-] infantry and sailors. The Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas now have a total of more than [-] soldiers. Xiao Ruxun himself marched into Huguang and Wuchang, Nanjing, and Yangzhou and surrendered no less than [-] strong soldiers. At present, his total force should be around [-].

Such a large scale, but the organization still uses the previous four battalions of the infantry, two battalions of the cavalry, and one battalion of the artillery and navy. From this point of view, it seems that there is something wrong. The number of troops has increased, and the organization is obviously not enough. Yes, the control is a little lacking.

The general of the army began to have different voices. Although it was only a symptom, it was a very serious signal.

Although it is enough to control the soldiers at the bottom, when it comes to generals, it seems that it is not enough to put a supervising army beside Chen Lin. It seems that such things as supervising troops are really indispensable.

Xiao Ruxun began to plan that after Shen Yiguan was dealt with in the capital, it was time to reorganize the army and rectify discipline.

There are more and more things to do...
