Li Xingzhou smiled and said, "Look at your promising prospects, how much is like the common people's parents." As he said that, he threw the paper in his hand into the brazier at his feet in a stunned manner.

Everyone was stunned. Li Xingzhou asked Ningjiang Tongzhi Wang Ke to pour him full of wine, and then raised his glass: "When Wei Taizu defeated Yuan Shao, he found many letters of surrender to the enemy from the big tent. He didn't look at it, but burned him directly, without asking who was the one who came from."

He said and looked at everyone: "What does this king look like in your eyes? Actually, I know in my heart that I am young and lustful. I only know how to take the He family's daughter to travel around all day, right?"

"Where is it, the prince is very talented, has great wisdom and great strategy, and is far beyond the reach of people..."

"Yes, yes, in just a few months, the prince is smarter than Zhuge, and his martial arts are better than Zhou Lang!"

“……”

All kinds of praise are endless, Li Xingzhou feels so happy, he just listens to others brag about him!

Even if he knew that these people were afraid of him, it would be so good...

But it’s enough to have fun, but don’t turn it over and he waved his hand to interrupt everyone: “Hahaha! I understand what you mean, today I will open the skylight and say something to you.”

He said boldly and loudly: "I am not as talented and broad-minded as Wei Taizu. I have read the list, but now it is burned.

Once the list is destroyed, only the memorials from you who have been to the Secretariat are included in the Political Affairs Hall. Only the emperor can see them at will. I can't see them even if I want to see them. This is called death without evidence. From then on, I will not have any handle in my hands."

"You are more familiar with Jiangzhou than me. Over the years, many people have worked hard for Beijing and have worked hard without any credit.

The past has passed, and the past is not blamed. Those who hit me will be unlucky. After tonight, I will drink with you, even if I leave this gate cleanly!" Li Xingzhou pointed to the gate of the Wang Family Village, and looked around the local officials while talking.

"But I hope you have a clear mind. Your salary and money, and people's paste will become dirty even if you clean them for a while. You can finally wash yourself cleanly, so it's best not to hit you.

Because you are all pillars of Jiangzhou and support the backbone of this place, the parents and officials of the people in northern Beijing cannot bear it.

In the future, all things in Beijing will depend on you, and I hope you will work together to drink this cup with me." He raised his glass high, and many officials quickly poured the wine and then stood up.

"Damn!" His voice fell and he drank it all in one go.

Many officials stood up and drank with them, and then they put down the big stone in their hearts.

Many people even cried with excitement because they had been to the King of Pingnan and were called to have a banquet today. They were worried and almost collapsed until now.

After a glass of wine, the banquet finally became unprecedentedly lively...

The banquet was all night long, and after a glass of wine, the whole Jiangzhou united unprecedentedly.

The next day, many local officials went to Tubi Villa to bid farewell to Li Xingzhou before leaving, but this time they did not dare to give gifts. Li Xingzhou, regardless of his official position, was welcomed one by one and saw them off, which was very popular.

Once people are united and the rear is stable and government orders are passed, the central government will be deployed and implemented very quickly and efficiently.

In order to prevent the Black Mountain bandits, Li Xingzhou asked each county to form a fast horse, five people were stationed outside the city. Once the Black Mountain bandits attacked, they would immediately inform Jiangzhou.

The government order was just issued, and within one or two days, various counties responded, saying that they had formed a fast horse scout as ordered to patrol the entire Ningjiang Prefecture, with unprecedented efficiency. (Where the prefectures are established, there are often many counties under the jurisdiction of many prefectures, especially the Grand Prefectures.)

.........

In the backyard of the villa, there is a detailed map of the Taihang Mountain Generation researcher by Li Xingzhou. He Qian came over and looked at it curiously.

In fact, what he burned that day was not a list, but a piece of paper that the little girl practiced writing and drawing casually. How could the emperor be so bored that he made a list for him and let him retaliate?

At the same time, he has not been idle these days, so he has found Shenlin and many veterans of Ningjiang Mansion who have fought with the Black Mountain Bandits, and asked them to describe their experience of fighting with the Black Mountain Bandits, knowing themselves and their enemies will never be defeated.

Gradually, Li Xingzhou understood from the clues they described why the official army could not catch up with the Black Mountain bandits and was repeatedly defeated.

There are many reasons for this, such as the Black Mountain Bandits are familiar with mountain roads, the Black Mountain Bandits have been good at climbing mountains since childhood, etc., but one thing is also very important, that is, the useful thing for the Black Mountain Bandits is the mule!

People often say that a mule is a horse that is pulled out, which means that a mule cannot escape a horse. This is very important on the plain. Indeed, a mule cannot escape a horse.

However, Taihang Mountain is tall and has complex terrain. Many of the roads in the mountains are on mountain paths on high rock cliffs. There are tragic stories of cavalry chasing bandits who fell into the valley too quickly and died.

At this time, unlike plain combat, speed is not important.

Other places where mules are better than horses are immediately reflected, with greater strength than horses, better endurance, and better adaptability to harsh living environments.

The Black Mountain bandits traveled through the Taihang Mountains with mules, and they did not rely on riding it at all, because the mountain paths have a large slope and are dangerous, and the speed of walking and riding horses is not much different, so riding horses is even more dangerous.

They used mules to drag the baggage, food, swords and guns, felts and other items to keep warm at night, and then drove the mules to various paths. The officers and soldiers naturally could not catch up with them. The horses did not carry more mules, and their endurance was not as good as mules. In addition, the poor mountains and rivers were poor, and the horses were not as adaptable as mules. The maximum speed advantage could not be reflected. How could they catch up with those black bandits...

The most bizarre thing is that many veterans think that it is a horse, but it is different from their breed. It was not until Li Xingzhou asked for many details and then slowly confirmed that the TM was indeed a mule!

He soon understood why this situation occurred, because although mules have existed for a long time, they have been rarely used in China. Instead, they have been very popular in some harsh environments such as Russia.

It was not until the Ming Dynasty that the country attached importance to farming. Such animals, which were not as fast as horses, had better endurance and strength than horses, and were even better raised. In an era when the purpose of the battlefield was emphasized, mules were naturally not valued, and it was normal for some people to admit their mistakes.

Li Xingzhou had to admire the intelligence of the Black Mountain Bandit. Indeed, since the mountain path cannot be used at all, the horse will lose its biggest advantage!

In the battlefield, speed is the first element. Whether it is charge, chase or escape, horses are better, but when you get to the mountains, everything is different. When the Black Mountain bandits are in it, they will turn around immediately, so they use mules instead of horses.

But in Ningjiang Prefecture at the foot of Taihang Mountain, because he was on the plain, whether it was officials or soldiers, he had never turned around and did not understand the difference...

These solidified ideas have also caused a lot of losses, and many people died. Sometimes we have to sigh that the first combat power is the change of ideas.
