Chapter 278 Kong Youde can't go

Jia Hanfu is a strange man.

This person is an officer under Bai Yongfu. He has no fame but is literate and can write official documents, so he is very eye-catching among the Huai Army, which has an illiteracy rate of up to 90%.

When the Huai Army went north of Xuzhou from Shandong in early May, heavy rains suddenly fell in Jining and Caozhou, causing mountain torrents. In addition to the destruction of a large number of bridges and roads, many people in the prefectures and counties were also affected.

If it was the Ming army, I would definitely not care.

But the Huai Army was not the Ming Army, so it must be managed.

At that time, Lu Si asked Chen Buping to organize military and civilians to fight floods and rescue disasters, and to save production and self-rescue, so as to minimize the disaster situation as much as possible.

But Chen Buping had no people under him, and the military needed to organize the people to rescue disasters, so Lu Si asked the following to recommend talents.

Bai Yongfu recommended Jia Hanfu to Chen Buping, who was responsible for coordinating the relationship between the local government and the Huai Army.

However, what Chen Buping never expected was that although Jia Hanfu was from Liu Zeqing's tribe, he loved the people as much as his son. He saw hungry people along the way and would provide food for relief. When he encountered people drowned by the flood, he would use his savings to ask someone to build a coffin. When he saw the orphans whose parents died, he would be specially adopted.

Not only that, as the Huai Army accelerated its progress in the north, it began to accept Shandong prefectures and counties in large numbers. In order to allow the victims to be resettled as soon as possible, Jia Hanfu put forward the slogan of never starving to death. Every time he arrived at a county, he ordered the warehouse to release grain. Anyone in the county dared to violate the order would immediately arrest him.

Therefore, he also had a conflict with Hu Shangyou, the ambassador who was responsible for Shandong's requisition and requisition, because Jia Hanfu killed several officials who had surrendered with "high money" and had a very bad impact on Ambassador Hu's requisition and requisition work.

Chen Buping was moved by Jia Hanfu's character, so he personally pleaded for him, which made Ambassador Hu's anger calm.

During the more than a month of flood control and disaster relief, Jia Hanfu never had food and accommodation in any city, and was almost at the forefront, either in this village or in that village. Sometimes even Chen Buping, his direct superior, could not find him.

He helped the victims during the day and prepared disaster relief plans at night. He dared not say that he would go all day long. Anyway, when the disaster stabilized more than a month later, the Jia Hanfu, who Chen Buping saw again, was a huge weight loss than that of more than a month ago.

It seems that it is no different from an old farmer, and it doesn't look like a soldier in a war.

After that, because the immigration resettlement of the people in northeast Shandong required Chen Buping, the Shandong Tonghui, who should have returned to the Huai Army, he left Jia Hanfu, who should have returned to the Huai Army.

Jia Hanfu did not make any effort, but dived into the resettlement of immigration and resettled nearly 40,000 Dezhou people in Tai'an and Jining respectively. He relocated the unowned land and built more than 10,000 mu of villages. He also tried every means to transfer agricultural tools and seeds from Huaiyang so that immigrants could organize production as soon as possible.

During the immigration period, Jia Hanfu also helped renovate Taishan Academy and suggested that the academy be directly under the jurisdiction of Shandong Tonghui Yamen, and that the teacher appointment and student admission were also selected to be the best, so that Taishan Academy could become a place for the Huai Army's talents. At the same time, it was also suggested that after the war was slightly stable, some young soldiers could be sent from the army to study in the academy.

In order to make Taishan Academy run as soon as possible, Jia Hanfu took out all the money he had obtained from Liu Zeqing before and purchased more than 500 acres of land in the local area to subsidize food and accommodation for teachers and students of the academy.

He also engraved an inscription on these lands, which read: "Please make an appointment with future generations. My descendants shall not be regarded as private ownership, nor shall others seize it with power. If there is any surrender, the people of Hebei will make a great reputation and attack it together, so that they will be public property for generations."

When Chen Buping reported Jia Hanfu's deeds to Lu Si, Lu Si said with emotion: "I didn't expect that there are such talented people among us."

Lu Si really sighed that if it weren't for him, such as Jia Hanfu, Zhang Guozhu, Huang Zhongse, Yu Shaoxun, Bai Yongfu and other Liu Zeqing generals were the main force of the Qing Dynasty's green camp, and they made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty's pacification of China. However, they did not achieve anything in the Ming army, and even became soldiers who harmed the people because of Liu Zeqing.

He was also a soldier and had a lot of skin when he was in a war, but his personal achievements were completely overturned, which made people not sigh.

However, what Lu Si didn't know was that Jia Hanfu's achievements were actually quite high. He was one of the few generals of the Qing Dynasty who became governors with military generals, and was appointed as Minister of War and Prince Taibao.

Reminding of all this that Jia Hanfu did for the people of Shandong, Lu Si and Chen Buping asked the people again and appointed Jia Hanfu as the Tai'an Defense Envoy, and temporarily joined the army as the governor's office.

With the expansion of the Huai Army's territory and army, affairs in military affairs, civil affairs, economy and other aspects have accumulated as many things. Lu Si alone can't handle so many things.

In civil affairs, Lu Si can temporarily rely on the newly built Shandong Tonghui and Huaiyang Tonghui, but the military affairs must require a separate institution.

Therefore, Lu Si decided to establish an organization similar to the General Staff Department to help him formulate military commands and coordinate various troops.

This institution was named "Governor's Office".

Wherever he goes, the governor's office will be.

It is also equivalent to the headquarters of the Huai Army commander.

Jia Hanfu, a talent who is both literary and military and first-class in both military and political affairs, became the main person in charge of the Lu Si Governor's Office.

Contacting all parties, including the dispatch of food and food resources, is now in charge of Jia Han, and he is doing very well.

Zhao Zhongyi was determined to fight, and Lu Si wanted to fight, but he had to wait for something.

That's rain.

In the decisive battle, we must choose a time when heavy rain is heavy, otherwise the siege will be frustrated and the strength of the Haoge Group will still be able to use their large number of artillery and muskets to deal with the vital forces of the Huai Army.

Lu Si didn't want to finish the fight with Haoge, and Huai Jun broke his legs.

Moreover, Lu Si also wanted the hundreds of cannons of Kong Youde.

If he wants to get the greatest reward with the smallest sacrifice, Lu Si needs God to bring him a heavy rain, so that all the Qing army's artillery and muskets will be silent.

The problem is that he is not a meteorological expert and doesn't know when it will rain.

Jia Hanfu gave a good suggestion, that is, he could find some local old farmers to ask.

The reason is that farmers rely on time to plant soil. The accumulation of decades of experience has enabled old farmers to estimate 70% to 80% of when it will rain.

Lu Sishen agreed.

"It will most likely not rain in September, and even if it rains, it will not be heavy."

Jia Hanfu said that the old farmer judged that if he wanted to have a heavy rain, he might have fallen after frost.

"Frostfall,"

Lu Simeng lifted the rod, but it was an empty hook, so he threw the hook again.

"It will take at least half a month, well, it's time."

What Lu Si said was obviously referring to the Huaiqing counterattack launched by the Shun Army in Henan.

"Governor, I..."

Jia Hanfu hesitated for a moment and had something to say.

"What does Jiaohou want to say?"

Lu Si did not teach Jia Hanfu to be "Jiaohou", but his character "六文" was called Jiaohou.

Jia Hanfu looked at Zhao Zhongyi and said, "The last general thought that if Haoge and the Manchurian Regent Dorgon were incompatible, then the general killed Haoge would be a great help to Dorgon."

"Speak."

Lu Si brought the hook back and stringed the earthworms.

Jia Hanfu then expressed his thoughts, thinking that he could let Haoge go back, and not necessarily solve this serious problem for Dorgon.

Lu Si nodded, threw the hook with the earthworms into the river again, and waved his hand and said, "Haoge can leave, and the Manchu soldiers under his command can also leave, but Kong Youde can't."
