Chapter 138: The First Anti-Counterfeiting War Comes to an End
The lobby was a little quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the glaring head on the ground. Inside his ears was the end of the story told by Luo Chengwu.
So, the commander of the Xingguo Army was killed like this?
There were 50,000 people in Xingguo Army, and Luo Chengwu led two hundred broken formations and slashed his head off.
Among the thousands of troops, take the general's head and seize the general's flag.
Sun Zhongmou called himself an expert.
"Father, this is the military newspaper written by my uncle to you. He has led his army north to take over Jiujiang."
After taking the military newspaper, Luo Yongsheng didn't even know what to say for a moment. He looked at his head on the ground, then turned his eyes to Luo Chengwu's face, who was full of ambition, and laughed out loud.
"My son, I have the courage of the champion Hou."
This made the civil and military ministers wake up as if they were dreaming, and they all stood up and raised their wine to celebrate: "The second young master is brave and congratulate the king."
"Go down and wash up, come and drink."
"Thank you, Father."
Cheng Wu was overjoyed and got up and was about to leave. Luo Yongsheng shouted again: "Take your head away, you won't feel disgusted."
Looking at Cheng Wu's back as he left, Luo Yongsheng exclaimed: "Cheng Wu is indeed a tiger general. He can become a great weapon in time."
These beggars who were suffering from their own hardships in Yangzhou City have now become independent civil and military talents.
Time flies so fast.
"As soon as Xingguo Army was defeated, the court was no longer able to carry out a second encirclement and suppression of us." Zhou Zhen stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, you can send troops south to capture Ji, Gan and other prefectures."
“It’s right.”
Everyone nodded and said it was feasible: "There are only a thousand soldiers in Jigan and other places, and they are weak soldiers, and they are vulnerable. They only need to send one general and lead three thousand soldiers to the city to open."
"Where do you need to lead troops?"
Peng Cheng, a general who had just joined Luo Yongsheng, stood up and saw that Luo Chengwu could make such a wonderful achievement, the canal man could not hold back and stood up to ask: "Please give Xie Xianbin and Li Xi's head to the general. The general only took me a dozen rural heroes and took the four southern states for the king."
"General Peng's courage is lonely."
Luo Yongsheng smiled and stretched out his hand to press down: "Now our pseudo-Song Shangxia has been killed by our army. Ji Gan and other places are close to our army. I believe they are even more anxious at this time. Our army can send an edict, so it is already the meat on its mouth, so there is no need to rush to eat it."
There is a saying from my ancestors that it is easy to fight the country and difficult to live in the country.
This is the difference between destruction and construction.
Jigan and other places cannot escape the fish on the chopping board, but after taking the place down, how to manage it is the key.
"Bingkun, what do you think."
After being called up, Wei Bingkun, the minister of the Great Chu, walked out and bowed: "Your Majesty, I have two ideas here, one is fast and the other is slow. I don't know which one the king wants to use."
What were the problems with the ancients?
In the past, there were three strategies of Zhou Zhen and the middle and the lower. Now, there are two methods of Wei Bingkun fast and slow, which delays the effort.
"Tell me."
"If you are quick, if the surrendered officials do not judge and remain in office, and appease the gentry and drive them to stabilize the place, our army can focus on recruiting and training troops, and guard against the next second conquest of the pseudo-Song.
Slowly, abandon the fake Song officials, search the homes of evil gentry, and send people to take over the government office to select officials to govern the people. This move can be deeply rooted but takes a long time. Nanchang is the foundation for the king to cultivate four years, so he can conquer the whole city in an instant, but these places cannot do it."
Whether to use demoted officials or your own officials is a choice.
Maintaining the original political and social environment in the local area or breaking and reshaping a political and social environment is also a choice.
The fundamental reason lies in the talent shortage that Luo Yongsheng is facing now.
The students he taught back then are now all in the army, and the fundamental purpose is to quickly train a strong army.
Therefore, cultured and knowledgeable talents are all in the army, which leads to strong martial arts and weak civilians, and shortage of personnel in the local governance.
It is not so easy to train a group of people in a hurry, let alone Luo Yongsheng doesn’t have the energy to be a teacher every day.
"In the military newspaper Yongjie just wrote to Gu, he took the lead of a group of grassroots teams, and the battalion school asked for merit, and said that Wu Ning could defend them. These grassroots team officials from the Jun Guard played a huge role. It stabilized the morale of the army so that the new recruits who had been in the army for less than ten days did not collapse, and there was no case of deserters bombing the camp."
Luo Yongsheng pondered for a long time before speaking: "Since that's the case, Gu Yi took out a part of this group of lord guards, and transferred from martial arts to civilians, and replaced local government affairs. They all studied with Gu for four years, and their ability to manage a government is still fine.
Let them take a group of scholars from Nanchang City who admire us to take office. While taking over the government affairs of the government office, they also teach a group of disciples to come out for Gu. Gu’s energy is limited, so this important task must be handed over to them.”
Everyone was wise, but Wei Bingkun sighed.
Judging from this attitude, Luo Yongsheng chose the slow method.
But the imperial court would not lay the foundation for the Great Chu and take the foundation.
Wei Bingkun's sigh, Luo Yongsheng heard clearly, and knew what the former was thinking at this time, so he took the initiative to speak: "The reason why I opposed the Song Dynasty is because the Zhao Dynasty has too many bad policies. Since the Great Chu has been established, if the Song system is inherited, why should I rebel against the Song Dynasty?
When you all persuaded you to advance earlier, didn’t you say that you would abolish the fake Song Dynasty, the fake Song system, and the fake Song law? You should remain in office and rely on the gentry to continue to survive the nonsense system of the fake Song Dynasty. This will implicate and even worsen the Great Chu regime that is thriving. Therefore, although this move is fast, it is unstable and I am reluctant to take it."
Since Luo Yongsheng took the initiative to explain, Wei Bingkun could not say anything more, and bowed to the emperor and said, "The King of Shangming".
"I dare to ask the king how to deal with the surrendered officials in various places in the future." Although Wei Bingkun retreated, Ren Xiuxian, the judge, stood up: "Earlier, the surrendered officials in Nanchang, Hu Xian and Lu Yan were killed by the major general. This made our army's first entry into Nanchang, and the gentry and gentry in the city were so frightened that they did not dare to leave the palace to show up.
Although the laws of our Great Chu are wise, they are undoubtedly much more harsh than those of the pseudo-Song Dynasty who were almost indulging in the gentry.
If we judge according to our laws of Great Chu, the surrendered officials in these places should be beheaded after surrendering their posts, their reputations, and all kinds of corruption. Therefore, I ask the king to be ordered by the king. If you are willing to surrender, you should not blame the past for what you committed earlier.
If I continue to kill, I am afraid that wherever my king's army passes in the future, there will be no more city or land.
Emotionally speaking, Luo Yongsheng certainly wanted to kill all these corrupt scholars and officials, but what Ren Xiuxian said made sense. If too many soldiers were killed at the beginning of the Great Chu army, it would affect the great cause in the future.
Moreover, it will be of no benefit to recruiting the southeastern provinces in the future, and its reputation will not be good if it is too bloody.
"But all are innocent and open and are too kind. Let's do this, let them all be ordinary people and support themselves."
Luo Yongsheng took a step back, and his life was considered to be a complete deed of benevolence and righteousness, which made Ren Xiuxian satisfied enough.
"A good celebration banquet, why did it become a political discussion again?" Luo Yongsheng smiled bitterly and raised his glass: "You guys, today is the day of a great victory, so don't talk about political affairs anymore. Qingyan, call on the little sisters you taught these days to come up.
Play music, sing and dance.”
