Pei Xiaoer's meaning is very clear, that is, now the Pei family army and the Taiyuan rebel army have been called "a lip-twined" force. Before the officers and soldiers have wiped out the Taiyuan rebel army, the Pei family army must take the lead, make some moves in Pingyang Mansion, and share the burden.

The pressure of the Taiyuan Rebel Army.

By visiting Wenxian to observe these rebels up close, Pei Xiaoer had deep doubts about how much they could play. They were intrigues and wary of each other, and their hatred for each other even exceeded that of the officers and soldiers, and their strength was forced by the officers and soldiers.

The pressure is why we get together and keep warm. When the power of the government army declines in the future, it is estimated that these people will immediately fight in the internal struggle.

However, I heard that the Zijin Liang King used his strength to put the Taiyuan Rebel Army together recently, achieving the effect of "unifying orders and prohibiting orders". I hope it can take effect at critical moments.

As Pei Xiaoer's remarks came out, everyone present had a lit up feeling, and what he said made sense. Will the officers and soldiers not notice him? At that time, they are not officers and soldiers.

If you want to fight, you will not only waste your precious development time in vain, but also lose your only foreign aid. Now is the time.

Liu Xianchun thought carefully about Pei Xiaoer's words. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the truth was simple and he suddenly realized. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "General, what he said is very true. I was not careful for a moment and almost missed the general's major affairs. It's okay.

The general punished him." After saying that, he was about to kneel down and apologize.

Pei Xiaoer took a few steps, dragged Liu Xianchun up, and blamed him: "Zhongfang, why did you say this? Since we are discussing matters, we must be discussing matters. How can we punish you for saying something wrong?

?If you really punish you, then no one dares to speak in the future."

Pushing the ashamed Liu Xianchun back to his seat, Pei Xiaoer looked at the others and said, "Do you have any other opinions?"

The generals were already eager to try, so if they had any other opinions, they urged them: "General, you have no objection anymore, hurry up and order the troops to be sent."

"Okay, since that's the case, then we'll decide." Pei Xiaoer said with a final say, "Liu Zhizu."

Liu Zhizu got up, came to the middle of the hall, and saluted: "The last one will be here."

"You take your troops from Anyi and head south to take Jiezhou, Linjin, Puzhou, and Shanruicheng for me, are you worried?"

"No doubt, I will obey the order."

"Zhang Zhiyuan, do you have any doubts when you lead your town to the west and conquer Yishi, Wanquan, Ronghe, and Hejin?"

"Subordinate to obey the order." Zhang Zhiyuan also stood up, came to the middle of the lobby, and received the order.

"Wang Daozhi," Pei Xiaoer hesitated a little. Wang Daozhi's town originally had nine thousand troops, but was later transferred by Pei Xiaoer to Jiexiu. Now he is the only one who is under his command.

The mistress has 4,500 people in one wing, and this amount of troops is still a bit short of strength.

After thinking for a while, Pei Xiaoer said: "Some time ago, because Liu Changle attacked Jiexiu, Wang Ji and Zuo Liangyu made contributions. I have upgraded his position to the town. His subordinates Li Guojun and Yu Dawei were promoted to commander

The remaining Zhou Ti is also promoted to commander and will be transferred to your commander.

In addition, I remember that the 30,000 new recruits in the recruit camp who have been training for several months now, except for the 4,500 people being drawn to go north to fill the Liu Changle headquarters, and then allocate 4,500 people to transfer to your army.

The commander was appointed by the newly transferred Zhou Ti.

Do you have any doubts when you take your troops from Xia County to the east and north, and take down Yuanqu, Jiang County, Quwo, and Yicheng?"

"Yes, my subordinates obey the order." Wang Daozhi was overjoyed, his voice was particularly loud, which made the entire lobby buzz. If the comfort of the previous two days was spiritual encouragement, then this arrangement was considered a practical action, and it was completely

Putting him in the position of the main force of the army is no longer a high position that will be overturned at any time.

"Okay, since that's the case, then you all go back and prepare."

"Yes." Everyone stood up and said in unison.

After sending everyone away, Pei Xiaoer returned to the back house and was about to rest for a while and reflect on his arrangements. However, not long after, Zhao Junlin came to the door and said that if he wanted to see him, he would like to see him.

Zhao Junlin is Pei Xiaoer's father-in-law, and he is a little closer to others, so Pei Xiaoer has to see him. Helplessly, Pei Xiaoer can only ask his servants to invite Zhao Junlin in.

Zhao Junlin is now mainly responsible for business matters in Pei Jiajun, which is equivalent to the future Ministry of Commerce. All businessmen in Pei Jiajun's jurisdiction need to ask him for business. In addition, the large amount of gold and silver seized by Pei Jiajun also needs to be passed through Zhao Junlin.

The trade routes accumulated in the past have become strategic materials such as grain, iron, saltpeter, sulfur and other strategic materials. It can be said that his current status in the Pei family army is very transcendent, and Liu Xianchun dared not offend him too much.

"Brother-in-law, what's the point?" Pei Xiaoer welcomed Zhao Junlin in at the door. After sitting down, a maid came forward and brewed two cups of tea for the two.

The tea shop was brewing, neither of them spoke. Pei Xiaoer, who was a little bored, accidentally discovered that the maid secretly glanced at her. Seeing that Pei Xiaoer found her, she immediately took her eyes back and pretended to be concentrating on making tea.

.

Pei Xiaoer was a little funny, but he didn't take it to heart. When he saw the maid in person, he thought he had just entered the mansion and was just curious about him.

Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by Zhao Junlin next to him. Zhao Junlin didn't pay attention to it at first. When he saw this maid, he saw that she was graceful and charming, and she looked like she was pitiful.

It arouses a man's inner desire for protection, and it also has a different feeling than his own daughter.

Seeing Pei Xiaoer suddenly looking at him, Zhao Junlin hurriedly suppressed his head and stopped looking at the maid. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart. It seemed that Pei Xiaoer was not a passionate person, and he was still in front of him.

Just "expressing love" with the maid, if I were not here, I wouldn't know what would happen.

It’s also a big blame for the fact that my daughter’s belly is not good. She hasn’t given birth to a boy or a girl for the Pei family for so long. Otherwise, would Pei Xiaoer be able to play tricks outside? When she returns, she still needs to remind her daughter to give birth as soon as possible.

A son is the way to last.

"Brother-in-law...Brother-in-law? What's wrong with you?" Pei Xiaoer shouted several times, then he called Zhao Junlin out of his thoughts.

Zhao Junlin, who came to his senses, quickly coughed a few times, covering up his embarrassment, "It's okay, nothing, where did we just talk about?"

Pei Xiaoer looked at him suspiciously. What does this guy want to do? Could it be that the old cow eats tender grass and attacks the servants in my family? Putting his doubts in his heart, Pei Xiaoer asked: "I don't know if my father-in-law is looking for me."

What's wrong with me?"

"That's right." Zhao Junlin straightened his face and said solemnly, "Henan broke the dam of the Yellow River this year, flooding more than 200,000 mu of fertile land, nearly one million people were displaced and homeless. In addition, the court was unable to provide disaster relief,

The refugees were allowed to survive on their own, especially since the beginning of winter, the grass, leaves and other things that could be eaten have been eaten and withered, and even the bark and grass roots were fewer and fewer.

As large-scale refugees lack food and clothing, more and more people starved to death, and the robbery of families became more and more frequent and the scale became larger. In the past, most of our army's grain was purchased from Henan, while Henan

In this situation, it is almost impossible for our army to buy grain from Henan, so we can only buy grain from Huguang, which is far away.

But if you buy food from Huguang, although the cost will be a little less, the transportation route is too far and the journey is very expensive. All the expenses saved are lost on the road and it is impossible to catch up. In addition, there are many thieves along the way.

It is a blessing that bandits harass you, and you can buy three stones of grain and transport it to our army. It will not last long. Please make plans early.”

This is indeed a problem, a big problem. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, natural disasters continued and man-made disasters continued. Grain production in the entire north almost stagnated. Millions of people were waiting to die in the cold and cold. There was no place to provide food stably for a long time.

.

In addition, although Pei Xiaoer has increased the disaster relief efforts on his own territory, introduced a series of measures to encourage production, and grain production has also recovered, it is still less than half of the usual years. What's more, he spent much money to maintain his army in the country.

The burden on the people is particularly high. If one is not handled well, there may be a disaster of overthrow.
