These guards are all selected from the army and have experienced many battles. They are not comparable to the characters that Lu Mingxing encounters. Although he is good at martial arts, when he encounters such guards, only three or five of them can defeat him.
Capture it. Now that he has been captured, he is struggling in every possible way, but there is no way he can break free.
A guard had already brought a basin of warm water and poured it on Lu Mingxing's face. The originally sallow face gradually turned dark, and the skin on both temples turned up, making him look very disgusting.
The young man who spoke at first waved his hand: "Wash his face!"
The guards opened their rough hands and rubbed Lu Mingxing's face unceremoniously a few times, and a thin mask fell off. When Cheng Zhijie saw it, he gritted his teeth and shouted sternly: "Lu Mingxing, you idiot
Rebel! Today is the day!"
When Lu Mingxing saw that his whereabouts were exposed, he was a bachelor. He raised a black face, stared at the young man, and said solemnly: "I dare you to ask this brother Gao's name, can he actually see through Lu's disguise technique!"
The handsome young man sneered: "You don't know my sister's name! How dare you do anything in front of my sister with this little skill!"
"You are actually a woman!" Lu Mingxing was stunned for a moment. The handsome young man spoke just now, revealing his daughter's body. But even the young man's voice was the same as that of a man. This disguise technique was impeccable. He
It’s not a fair loss.
The young man also turned into a female voice: "Sister, you are the one who knows how to show off."
But the handsome young man winked at Liu Ziqiu: "We sisters helped you catch Lu Mingxing, how will you reward us?"
Liu Ziqiu chuckled and whispered in her ear: "It's not easy to get a reward. I just have to bear a little more trouble for my husband tonight!"
After hearing this, the two people suddenly blushed. It turned out that these two people were Gao Xiuer and Tuoba Qianyu. Gao Xiuer was already good at disguise, and he learned the unique skill of disguising himself as a man from Hua Yun. Even Liu Ziqiu
In this way, people who live with her all day long will find it difficult to see the flaws. When Nalu star first heard Gao Xiuer ask about things in Luoyang Fangzhong, he was panicked, but his face was indifferent, which was caused by the disguise. It was also disguised,
Gao Xiuer and Tuoba Qianyu felt ashamed in their hearts, and red clouds suddenly appeared on their faces, which looked very natural. Comparing the two, they made a judgment.
…
After Lu Mingxing was executed, the Dangshan bandits were completely wiped out, which meant that Lu Mingyue's remnants had disappeared. Liu Ziqiu did not rest at night, and asked Yu Shinan to draft several documents and send them to Luoyang overnight, because this time Dangshan and Yushan were to be wiped out.
There were two thieves and bandits, and he discovered that there were some bad signs in the army.
This time, only local troops participated in the campaign to suppress the bandits. In terms of combat literacy, there was no problem. The main problem lay in military discipline. First, many soldiers often spoke ill of the common people and regarded themselves as superior men.
Second, they casually accept rewards and even treats from local gentry. Third, there are some people like Shu Zhengqing who are not satisfied with the military service.
These symptoms are just the first signs, and they are not serious in fact. But a thousand-mile embankment breaks down in an ant nest. If no precautions are taken, it will inevitably lead to catastrophe in the future. Another point is that the army before he crossed.
Therefore, being able to achieve many brilliant achievements in adversity depends on the magic weapon of the love between the army and the people. Liu Ziqiu really wanted to build his army into an army of disciples. Of course, in this era, people's thinking is very different from that of later generations.
It cannot be achieved overnight. It can only be guided subtly through various policies. Finding a problem and solving it is also a method he uses subtly.
Regarding the three signs discovered above, Liu Ziqiu's opinions on how to deal with them were also very simple. In the first case, he required all soldiers to do one day's work for the people in the area every month. In the second case, anyone who found that a squire or
All things for the common people will be double deducted from their paychecks. The third situation is more humane, allowing soldiers to voluntarily resign from the military and those who are willing to take part in the imperial examination can also apply for military service, and the court will also provide preferential treatment.
In fact, the purpose of the third approach is to allow the soldiers to read more and learn more about culture. Culture is a very vague thing and seems to be of little use to combat. But when the soldiers are literate, Liu Ziqiu can easily instill some knowledge into them.
Only with your own thoughts can you build the army into what you want. This is a long process, but Liu Ziqiu will work hard in this direction.
…
Early the next morning, the three official ships hoisted their sails and left Xiayi to continue their journey south. The journey was much smoother. The documents from the imperial court had already been spread to various places along the canal, and they had been forcibly collected by Yang Guang in the early years.
These migrant workers were naturally overjoyed when they received the news. Along the way, many river workers could be seen starting to dredge the canal. When encountering sharp bends and shallow water, some river workers took the initiative to help pull fiber. Their wages were paid by the court.
Expenditures reduced the burden on ships on the canal. At the same time, the smooth flow of the canal also brought prosperity to the economy along the river, and at the same time brought a large amount of tax revenue to the court. Over time, a win-win situation will inevitably be formed.
Seeing that the policies mentioned in the document had been implemented, Cheng Zhijie finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now, he was completely devoted to Liu Ziqiu, and he gradually began to think about joining the court as an official. To achieve this goal, he only had to
Being able to take the "lady route", for this reason, Shi Huiniang had begged Gao Xiuer several times, but Liu Ziqiu never let go.
The fleet sailed slowly, and after half a month, it finally arrived in Jiangdu. It is said that Yang Guang built the Grand Canal in order to visit Jiangdu. Now that Yang Guang is dead, this rumor cannot be confirmed. But after the canal was repaired,
, Yang Guang did come to Jiangdu once. Now, Jiangdu Palace has been destroyed by the war, and only the willows along the Slender West Lake are still dancing in the wind. Seeing all this, Liu Ziqiu felt a little sad, and suddenly remembered one thing: "Back then, Li Jing
After conquering Jiangdu, where did Wang Shichong end up?"
Gao Xiuer thought for a while and said: "I heard from sister Huayun that Wang Shichong ran fast back then and said he was going to join Li Yuan."
Liu Ziqiu pondered: "When I conquered Luoyang, I did not find Wang Shichong among Li Yuan's troops. This man is also a hero of his generation. If he is allowed to live outside, it will eventually be a disaster."
Gao Xiuer advised: "Perhaps he has already died in the rebellion, so my husband doesn't have to worry."
Liu Ziqiu nodded and said: "As we are about to reach Jiangnan, I think of one thing again. Wang Shichong and Xiao Dapeng colluded with each other back then, intending to bring disaster to the Xie family. Maybe Xiao Dapeng can know his whereabouts, and will interrogate him again after returning."
Gao Xiuer sighed and said: "You also promised your second uncle that you would take care of Xiao Dapeng. Now that the world has been decided, Xiao Dapeng will not dare to have the slightest reluctance in the future. Aren't you going to let him go?"
Liu Ziqiu waved his hand: "If it weren't for the sake of my second uncle, ten Xiao Dapeng would have died. Forget it, since you interceded for him, I will pardon him once."
"Thank you, husband." Gao Xiuer couldn't bear the end of the Xiao family, so she was overjoyed when she heard this.
But Liu Ziqiu frowned and said: "We will cross the river tomorrow. If you really want to thank me, just help me think of a way to persuade Miss Xie."
Gao Xiuer shook his head and said: "Whoever does evil should solve it by himself. I won't help you."
Liu Ziqiu smiled and said: "Actually, you are not helping me. Miss Xie is also your cousin, how can you bear to let her stay with you for the rest of your life?"
The corner of Gao Xiuer's mouth curled up slightly: "Of course I can't bear it. But I believe in my husband even more. He has conquered the country, but he can't deal with a little girl?"
Liu Ziqiu was immediately speechless, looking at Nanfang and sighing.
…
Another day, the fleet sailed across the Yangtze River and docked outside Danyang City. This time it was a private matter to go to Xie's house. Liu Ziqiu only brought Gao Xiuer, her son and a dozen guards, and even Tuoba Qianyu and Mu Duoli stayed on the ship.
Not being able to accompany Liu Ziqiu, Tuoba Qianyu looked unhappy, pouted and said: "Mu Duoli, do you think that Miss Xie is beautiful? I asked my brother to come all the way to Jiangnan for her."
Mu Duoli was not as petty as Tuoba Qianyu. She felt that she was very lucky to be alive today. Her only regret was that she could not be pregnant with Liu Ziqiu's child. Therefore, Mu Duoli's mentality was much more relaxed. She smiled lightly and said
: "That's natural. Haven't you seen her two brothers? I heard that Miss Xie is much more beautiful than her brothers!"
Brothers Xie Zhiwen and Xie Zhiwu are both rare handsome young men. Mu Duoli directly compares them with girls, which shows how outstanding their appearance is. Otherwise, how could a proud Qin Fengqin be easily tempted. If Miss Xie is two better than her,
Her brother was even more beautiful, but thinking that she couldn't compare to him, Tuoba Qianyu couldn't help but sigh.
After Liu Ziqiu landed ashore, he changed into light cavalry and rode straight to Moling Town.
Although the occupation has been chaotic for many years, with the protection of the Changshan Army, Moling Town has not been affected in any way and remains the same as before. The front door of the Xie Family Courtyard, which occupies a quarter of Moling Town, is still deserted and there is not a single person around.
They dared to stay here. Therefore, as soon as Liu Ziqiu and others showed up, they were discovered by the servants guarding the door. However, seeing that Liu Ziqiu and the others were all dressed up and angry, the servants did not dare to make any mistakes and were polite.
The ground stepped forward and asked: "I wonder where you are coming from?"
Liu Ziqiu raised his hand on the horse and said, "Please inform Mr. Xie that Liu Ziqiu is here to visit!"
These servants were just servants, and they usually only cared about three meals a day, and they had no idea what happened back then. But Liu Ziqiu naturally showed a kind of majesty, which made them not dare to be negligent in the slightest and hurry back to report.
Xie Yun and his son have been in Beijing for some time and have not come back yet. Xie Wengshan is a little worried. After all, Xie Wengda once colluded with Wang Shichong and intended to do evil to Changshan Village. Now that Liu Ziqiu has become the emperor and dominates the world, who knows if he will be moody.
