"Don't say that!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "Anyway, he didn't take any advantage. This has nothing to do with you. However, the elder brother can come to help me, which makes me much easier."

"When are you going to leave Suzhou and go to Jiangxi?"

"How could my brother think he wanted to leave Suzhou completely, and he must go to Jiangxi, not Guangdong?"

He Xinyin looked at Luo Xin with a slanted eyes and said, "What? Is this considered an assessment of me? As long as you are not a fool, you know."

"Okay, I won't ask anymore, so you won't think I'm a fool." Luo Xin smiled bitterly and said, "However, I still can't leave Suzhou and go to Jiangxi for the time being."

"Why?" He Xinyin frowned and said, "Don't you know that the army now needs you, the Ming army god, to stabilize the morale of the army?

Although the army can still be stable now, morale declines severely. If this happens, the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan will continue to harass each other, and the army will be defeated. At that time, it is certain that you and Hu Zongxian were dismissed from office, and maybe even the leader of the Xiang people will be unable to protect them."

"It's not peaceful here!"

Luo Xin sighed. He was very trusting in He Xinyin's character. He was called a hero. What does that mean?

That means that he has the heart of a hero.

So he told the story of the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's secret son preparing to make trouble in the south, and told He Xinyin that the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's people in other places were under his control, and there was no trace of Hangzhou. Then, he told He Xinyin about it for a while and said:

"No, your arrangements are feasible. The soldiers and Lin people are concentrated in an inn and the merchants of the vassal state are protected in the guild hall. If these two groups of people have no problems, nothing will happen. As for ordinary places in Hangzhou, it is enough to have government protection. I believe that Zhang Daoyuan and the Bailian Sect are not interested in them."

"Not bad! Moreover, the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan still want to develop. This south is their foundation. They cannot make their reputation bad, so there is no possibility that they will harm the people. The problem now is that they don't know when they will launch it."

"I think they are coming soon." He Xinyin said in a deep thought.

"Um?"

Luo Xin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. Now Hu Zongxian was defeated and unconscious. At this time, if something happened to various prefectures in the south, Luo Xin and Hu Zongxian should have something to happen to him. In the rage of Emperor Jiajing, they could at least be dismissed from office first.

Therefore, when the news of Hu Zongheng's defeat and coma spread, the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's people should have started. The news they received was naturally not as fast as the news they had sent to Luo Xin in a hurry, but now they should have received the news. Luo Xin's expression changed slightly, and he stood up and said:

"Brother He, sit for a while."

He Xinyin knew what Luo Xin was going to do, so he nodded and sat there. Luo Xin came back quickly, and at the same time he ordered the servants to go to the restaurant to order a banquet. He quickly felt relieved. Luo Xin and He Xinyin ate and talked.

"Brother He, how do you say I will suppress bandits after I went to Jiangxi?" Luo Xin has experienced many battles, but they are all the same on the plains. He has never experienced such wars in the mountains and forests.

He Xinyin seemed to have thought of a countermeasure, and drank a glass of wine and said: "The war in the mountains and forests is different from the plains."

"I hope to hear the details." Luo Xin looked at He Xinyin with a serious expression.

"In fact, there are not only Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect in the mountains and forests, they are just a few."

"You said you were a mountain citizen?"

Luo Xin looked at He Xinyin and said that Luo Xin had been in Hangzhou for a few years and had patrolled the entire south. He still had some understanding of the south. There are many mountain people in the south, and these mountain people are a headache for the court. These mountain people live in the mountains and forests and are not obeying the court's control. When they can survive, that is, when they have a good harvest, they will take animal flesh and skins to the foot of the mountain to exchange for food and various daily necessities. When they cannot catch enough beasts, they will go down the mountain to rob.

The court sent troops to encircle and suppress the enemy many times, but the problems encountered were the same as Hu Zongxian. The mountain people were familiar with the deep mountains and forests. Once the court's army entered the deep mountains and forests, it was no match for the mountain people, and it was always dirty. The court also surrendered them many times, but the effect was very bad. The mountain people surrendered, rebelled and surrendered, and then surrendered, causing huge losses to the court.

"Not bad!" He Xinyin nodded and said, "In the mountains and forests, the real power is those mountain people. If you give an example, mountain people are water, while Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect are just fish that rely on water. Therefore, if you want to truly eliminate fish such as Bailian Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, you must first control the water. Pull these mountain people to the side of the court. If mountain people stand on the side of the court, Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect will lose their foothold."

Luo Xinran, when he was in Hangzhou, he also studied these mountain people and the court's policies to treat mountain people. To be fair, it should be divided into two aspects.

When the imperial court was unfavorable to wipe out mountain people, recruiting surrender was the only way. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty had recruited mountain people many times, but in the end they failed.

The Ming Dynasty went to two extremes.

One is that they treat the mountain people very badly, which makes the mountain people angry and eventually leads them to return to the mountains and forests. The other is that they treat the mountain people too well, and the good ones are above the local Han people. As long as the Han people conflict with the mountain people, the government will definitely judge it as the Han people's fault. They are afraid that the mountain people will rebel, and then return to the mountains and forests, which will affect their political achievements. They are dismissed by the court. However, the final result is that the mountain people's desires are unfulfilled, which eventually causes chaos, burning, killing, looting, and then running back to the mountains and forests.

"We should first recruit those mountain people. As long as we appease the mountain people, those thieves will be like fish without water. It is not difficult to catch or kill them."

Luo Xin looked at He Xinyin's confident expression, but sighed: "The speed is too slow!"

He Xinyin nodded and said, "This must be a slow skill, I can't remember it. The thief and the mountain people are all at the foot of the mountain. The most important thing is that they all have a common enemy, that is, the court. So they can easily collude together.

However, there are still essential differences between mountain people and Zhang Daoyuan. Take the imperial court for example. However, if you recruit mountain people, you will never surrender Zhang Daoyuan.

Therefore, the thieves and the mountain people are just forming an alliance because of their common enemies, and there must be conflicts between the two sides. The main medicines of mountain people’s daily life depend on two aspects: one is hunting and the other is planting. Don’t be surprised, they will also find some suitable valleys for cultivation on the mountain, and have gradually become the main food source that mountain people rely on.
