Chapter 207 Southern Expedition Affairs

Among the several battalions under Qin Chuan, Ren Liang and Feng Yilong were listening in the martial arts hall while literate in Loufan. Li Dingliang and Liu Youzhu were stationed in Jingle City and Lancheng respectively. On the day of receiving the imperial edict, Qin Chuan sent someone to call them back.

Two days later, Qin Chuan summoned all the people appointed by Zhu Youjian except Lao Huang, as well as Zhao Wuliao Sanqin and others to the office for a meeting.

Lao Huang and Bobcao went west to recruit refugees, but Qin Chuan did not ask him to come back.

After everyone arrived, Qin Chuan’s famous red-clothed servant moved all the wooden boxes in front of them, and then smiled and said, “Brothers, congratulations, everyone has become officials.”

The battalion officer under his command had heard about this for a long time, so he did not show any surprises or surprises. He curiously opened the wooden box and took out the things inside.

"This flowery clothes are too ugly."

Luo Daniu muttered, shook the green military officer's regular clothes on his hands, then threw them on the ground, and took out a wooden waist tag.

"This waist brand is pretty good, very fine."

"The embroidery patterns are a little worse, and they are not even as good as those I painted at the beginning."

Song Zhiting also threw an official uniform back into the box and shook his head and said.

Suddenly, a crisp "click" sound came from the side, and Liu Youzhu shook his head straight at a broken waist knife in his hand.

Zhao Wu smiled beside him and said, "When I was still in the border army, I didn't dare to use the weapons sent by the Military Weapon Bureau. At least half of them were shoddy goods and were useless."

"What's the matter?"

Liu Youzhu threw the broken knife back into the alley and couldn't get any interest in the things inside.

Wang Jizong held a black hat and sighed inexplicably.

"Why did Mingzhao sigh?" Qin Chuan asked with a smile.

Wang Jizong sighed again and said with a wry smile, "When a student was young, he thought about the situation where he wore a black hat on his head. Now he has inexplicably obtained a fourth-rank black hat, but he feels that this official hat is a bit out of place with him, and he feels that things in the world are impermanent and incredible, so he feels a little melancholy."

"Hahahaha, in a few years I'll make you a few more beautiful official hats and a few more neat and fitting official uniforms."

"Jizong is looking forward to it."

At this time, Ren Liang suddenly interjected and said, "Sir, this official uniform is too unfit, so I won't wear it anymore. I'm afraid that only the official uniforms made by the adults can wear it."

As he said that, he took the initiative to close the wooden box.

Feng Yilong also threw all the things in his hand back into the box and smiled and said, "I am a rough man in the mountains and fields. I can't wear this official uniform. Please take it back to see who fits it and who wears it."

Hearing these two people's words, Qin Chuan smiled and said, "Let's take it first, maybe it's useful in the future."

After saying that, without waiting for Ren Feng and the others to reply, he picked up the imperial edict on the coffee table next to him and said, "The emperor wants us to lead the troops south, obey the command of Xu Dingchen and Zhang Yingchang, and go to fight against the bandits with Cao Wenzhao and others. Let's talk to everyone, should we go?"

"Go to him, a bird, and call them yourself."

Liu Youzhu spoke first and scolded the bird as soon as he spoke.

Wang Jizong also frowned and said, "Sir, the students think that this trip is not allowed. The court simply wants to transfer the adults, take the opportunity to divide us and others, and recover Jingle and Lan County, and..."

"And the court may take the opportunity to lure and kill adults, such as tricking them into the commander's tent, setting up ambush, and then throwing the bowl as a horn when the adults arrive, and rushing out."

"He dares!"

Luo Daniu suddenly stood up with murderous aura on his face, "I just said, why is Chongzhen's son so kind and has made so many of us officials. It turns out that he wants to play this trick. Since this kid is unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous."

Liu Youzhu took over the conversation, "Master, since that boy Chongzhen is not at ease, we just don't want to bird him, let him play with birds by himself."

"Yes, there are now tens of thousands of Ming troops gathered at the junction of Shanxi and Henan and Hebei, and I can't go this trip."

"Anyway, the more violent the bandits in the south are, the more beneficial it is to us."

Everyone started talking.

After they talked about it, Qin Chuan coughed lightly, signaled everyone to calm down, and then asked Zhao Wu, "Zhao Wu, what do you think?"

While everyone was talking just now, Zhao Wu didn't say anything and kept frowning and thinking slightly.

Seeing Qin Chuan Culture, he raised his head, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Sir, from the perspective of Hu Zhi, this trip should be taken."

Qin Chuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why?"

"First, Jinglelan County needs time to recuperate. The adults have also said that in addition to a strong army, we also need a wealthy and solid territory to win the world. In the past, Zhu-->>

Yuanzhang had been recuperating in Yingtian Prefecture for more than ten years before he could win the world. Not to mention ten years, he always wanted it for three to five years."

"If the Lord resisted the order, I was afraid that once the Jiannu of Qingshuihe retreated, the court would lead troops to attack again. Even if it could be defended, Jinglelan County would be rarely peaceful. If the war lasted for a long time, with the manpower and material resources of these two places, it would be impossible to fight a protracted war."

"Secondly, adults must train troops, not train troops, but train troops in battle formations. After a peace talks with the court, Jingle, Lan County, had no war anymore. If you want to train troops, you can only go out to fight bandits. Although bandits are not fighting, you can take this opportunity to temper the Guandi Army's long-distance marching, fighting against the enemy, chasing, etc.."

"Third, the Lord and the Guandi Army must go out of the Luliang Mountains. They must not only look at the mountains, rivers, customs and customs of the outside world, but also be familiar with the nature of the many generals of the court, the combat power of the Ming army and the bandits in the northwest provinces, and also make the Lord and the Guandi Army famous in the Central Plains."

"As for the matter of the matter of the elders leaving Luliang Mountain, the court took the opportunity to divide the brothers... I thought there was no need to worry about this matter, and everyone here was in the hearts of them."

As he listened, Qin Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

He really wanted to go out, to meet people like Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong, and to see Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, Lu Xiangsheng.

The most important thing is that he has to buy time for Jinglelan County to develop.

Zhao Wu was right. With the manpower and material resources of the two counties, he could not fight a protracted war. He dared to go to war with the court before, but because the court was still restrained by the bandits and Jiannu, and the two sides had not yet reached the end of the situation of death, and there was room for maneuver.

If the court does not die, the court will only need to mobilize troops to surround the hinterland of Luliang Mountain, and will sooner or later be consumed.

Zhao Wu said that training and seeing the world are also necessary. In addition to rushing to the pass to kill the Jiannu group, the rest of the Guandi army had not yet embarked on an expedition. It is also possible to take this opportunity to train troops while establishing a reputation.

Moreover, he wanted to go out and grab money and food.

In a few years, Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong will have to snatch all the vassal kings, gentry and wealthy families in Henan and Shaanxi. Zhang Bingzhong even snatched into Sichuan. The treasures he received are immeasurable, and eventually they all sank into the river.

Since Qin Chuan has come, he can't watch Li and Zhang plunder all the treasures. If he wants to shave, he will shave himself.

"What the boss wants to go?"

Seeing him smiling, Luo Daniu couldn't help but ask.

Qin Chuan smiled again, "Why can't you go?"

"Okay, I'll go with the boss. I didn't take me when I went to kill Jiannu last time. I have to take me with me this time."

"Okay, I'll take you there this time, but now is not the time. Let's go after harvesting the winter wheat."

Wang Jizong frowned and asked, "Sir, what should I do if the imperial officials want to lure and kill him?"

"They asked me to discuss matters, but I won't go. If they want to lead a large army to surround me, I can just walk away, and I can't do anything to me."

Wang Jizong pondered for a moment and finally nodded, "Since that's the case, then we'll prepare long ago."

"You have to prepare well. By the way, Ming Zhao, you wrote a memorial for me, saying that I was injured when I fought with Wang Dehua and the others, and it also caused the old injuries that were attacked by Jiannu. You have to cultivate for a few months, and you have to dispatch troops and collect food and grass, which is probably one or two months before you can go to war."

"Sir, now he is a guerrilla general in Shanxi. When he goes to war for the country, the food and supplies should be prepared by the Shanxi government."

"I forgot this. If you send Xu Dingchen another letter, you will say that I am going to go to war and ask him to prepare the food and grass required for 1,500 soldiers and 2,000 war horses for a month. Tell him that if there is insufficient food and grass, there will be many gentry and wealthy families in Yangqu, Taiyuan and Fenzhou. Let those big families donate some, otherwise no one will think of living a stable life."

"yes."

The major event was decided, and Qin Chuan then explained some trivial matters and discussed some issues that need to be paid attention to.

When the meeting was over, everyone was about to go out when a Guandi army came outside and said to Qin Chuan inside, "Sir, a new recruit named Ma Desi came outside. He held several booklets and said that he wanted to expose Li Dingguo's crime of communicating with the enemy."

Qin Chuan frowned, "What?"

Na Guandijun said, "Reporting to the master, Ma Desi said that Li Dingguo would write and draw with a booklet whenever he had time. He accidentally found that there were many maps and many words on the booklets. He could not read, but he vaguely recognized several pictures, including maps outside Jingle City and Shihuyu north of Lancheng."

Qin Chuan frowned even more.

Li Ding’s Chinese painting map, and he also wrote down things in the booklet. Do you remember that it was the strength and arrangement of the Guandi Army?

Could it be that this kid still doesn't give up and wants to go with his adoptive father?

"Bring in the people and the booklets, and then call Li Dingguo."

"yes."
