Chapter 50 The King's Ambition (8)

June is the season when the heat is unbearable. Although it is located outside the customs, Liucheng still cannot escape the ubiquitous heat wave.

The original Yingzhou Governor's Mansion, now the Liucheng Military Mansion, is where Li Chengzhong's office is located. The horizontal plaque hanging in front of the government office reads three gilded characters - Zhongnanhai. As for Li Chengzhong's wicked naming method, Feng

Dao and many other high-level officials of the Yingzhou Army were already used to it. As for why they called this government office student a "sea", no one could figure it out. However, since Li Chengzhong stubbornly persisted, everyone just let him go.

, who made me the master of Yingzhou?

At this moment, the number of sentry posts in Zhongnanhai has doubled, and Zhou Xiaolang, the head of the security department, has personally set up security guards and patrolled back and forth. Above the lobby, high-level officials from Yingzhou gathered together, creating a tense and solemn atmosphere.

After Li Chengzhong, the military envoy of Liucheng and the governor of Yan County, captured the guerrilla general Li Chengzhong, he was flanked by Yingzhou Governor Shi Fengdao. After the case of the commander, dozens of people were lined up on both sides, with the Yingzhou Army on the left

The guards in the middle camp were all educated, and the lieutenant in defense was Zhang Huijing; the scouts were all educated, and the lieutenant in defense was Qiu Ming.

The scout Dudutou Jieli was teaching riding and archery at Bailangshan Military Academy, and the guard Dudutou Liu Jinhou was the leader of the first batch of cadets, so he did not participate in this military meeting.

The officials of the Changshi Mansion are: Liu Shenjiao, head of the Changshi Mansion, Wu Zhongzuo, chief of the Legal Section, Cheng Dai, deputy director of the office, Cheng She, deputy chief of the Personnel Section, Liu Zixu, deputy chief of the Du Branch Section, Zong Liang, deputy section chief of the Publicity Section, and tax collectors.

Gao Wenyun and Liao Huaian, deputy section chiefs, Wang Quan, chief of the commerce and trade section, and Qian Wuchang, deputy section chief.

Because there were too many people in the hall, the scorching heat was very unbearable, so Li Chengzhong specially ordered the doors and windows to be opened for ventilation, which made things easier.

The content of this meeting was about solutions to the southern part of Yingzhou. At the beginning of the meeting, Li Chengzhong set the tone, which was to "propose a package of overall solutions for the Xiaoling River Basin."

Cheng She was introducing the people's livelihood and conditions in the Xiaoling River Basin. What he was holding was the top-secret file numbered "Tian Zi Jia San".

"...The Xiaoling River Basin has rich fields, mostly concentrated in the valleys and depressions along the main river. There are about 300,000 acres of arable land. It is located in Taohuashui, Sanquan Creek, Mosquito Creek, and Hushi River, the tributaries of the Xiaoling River.

, Zhangcaohe and other places, there are about 200,000 acres of arable land. More importantly, outside Songling and Hubaoling, there are more than 200,000 acres of arable land at the foot of the mountains. The total reaches 700,000 acres.

Of course, not all of these lands are uncultivated, and about half of them have been cultivated by local people..."

"...After detailed calculation, there are 78 villages of various sizes in the Xiaoling River Basin, with a total population of more than 63,000, including more than 36,000 men and 19,000 young men.

It should be noted that the meaning of "young and strong" here refers to those who are between 18 and 35 years old as determined by General Li. They are in good health and can be recruited into the army. Of course, it will not be possible to recruit all of them into the army in the future. After all, they still have to

Take responsibility for family work.

The current recruitment ratio of the Yingzhou Army is twenty to one. General Li once said that this ratio is a bit high for the standing status of the Yingzhou Army. Facts have also proved what General Li said. At present, Liucheng's various

The business has reached an extreme lack of labor. According to General Li, this is very detrimental to the sustainable development of Liucheng and even Yingzhou. Therefore, Chang Shifu and Yingzhou Army Headquarters Yuhousi jointly discussed that,

The standing recruitment ratio of the Yingzhou Army should be reduced to thirty to one, and the wartime recruitment ratio to fifteen to one.

According to this ratio, after the Xiaoling River Basin is brought under our control, the number of civilians our Yingzhou Army can control will exceed 100,000, the standing army can be recruited to 3,300, and the army can be expanded to 6,600 in wartime

…”

Cheng She was sweating profusely when he talked about his excitement. He wiped the sweat with his clothes and continued: "Currently, the Changshi Mansion has begun to entrust various merchants to mobilize refugees to Yingzhou. Use the cultivated land in the Xiaoling River Basin to

Look, it can accommodate another 30,000 to 50,000 people. Therefore, solving the problem of the Xiaoling River Basin is the most fundamental issue in Yingzhou at present, and it is also the basis for the next step to solve the problem of the Wugu River Basin. Here, we can disclose to

What everyone needs to know is that, according to the people in the Xiaoling River Basin, although the population and cultivated land in the Wugu River Basin are slightly smaller, they are not much less."

Li Chengzhong had become proficient in using this skill of painting large cakes. Under his instruction, Cheng She's words in a typical Li Chengzhong style immediately aroused heated discussion among the civil and military officials in the hall.

Li Chengzhong patted the table, suppressed the heated discussion in the lobby, and said: "I just looked at everyone's expressions, and they seemed to be very excited. Wang Dalang, I need to remind you that we are currently discussing something.

I quickly put away your greedy face. And Wang Quan, your saliva is almost drooling. You look like a profiteer..." The whole hall burst into laughter.

Li Chengzhong continued: "But to be honest, after listening to this, I suddenly felt very hungry. I wonder if you feel this way?"

There was laughter again in the hall. Wang Dalang and others joined in the fun and loudly said: "General, hurry up and start dinner, I'm going to be hungry!"

Li Chengzhong added: "It seems that everyone and I, Lao Li, have the same opinion. It is imperative to capture the Xiaoling River Basin. Okay, Gao Mingbo, tell everyone about the situation you have sorted out.

"

This is the first time that Gao Mingbo has attended and spoken at a high-level meeting of the Yingzhou Army. Logically speaking, he is not qualified at all based on his rank. But who allows the Yingzhou Army to expand its troops too quickly and leave nothing to be done? So occupying Yu

Gao Mingbo, who held the post of Hu Sixing's Public Security Bureau, was very lucky to get this opportunity. He cleared his throat, which was slightly dry due to nervousness, and began to introduce the situation of the Xiaoling River Basin. His introduction focused on

military.

"According to General Li's instructions, under the leadership of Zhang Duyu, the Yuhou Division Personnel Department worked closely with the Changshi Mansion Personnel Department to conduct detailed inspections of various forts in the Xiaoling River Basin..." Gao Mingbo

The beginning of his speech made Li Chengzhong smile. It seemed that whether it was before or after time travel, whether in ancient times or modern times, the form of Mandarin and clichés seemed to have not changed much.

"According to statistical results, the 78 large and small villages in the Xiaoling River Basin belong to three forces, namely the Yangshanzhai Force, the Zhangjiabao Force and the Xinsibao Force. In fact, these three forces have become the main force in the Xiaoling River Basin.

As an independent kingdom, they obtain food and supplies from the villages under their control, and use these supplies to support their troops. Among these three forces, Yangshanzhai and Zhangjiabao are mortal enemies, while Xinsi Fort is relatively neutral, but Xinsi Fort is the most powerful.

, they seem to be pursuing an impartial strategy of not offending others unless they offend me.

The leader of Yangshan Village is King Zheng. It is said that the founder of Yangshan Village, the father of King Zheng Ze, is rumored to have been a former general of the Yingzhou Governor's Office. King Zheng had hundreds of people who died on the run, and the exact number is still being investigated. These deaths

The soldiers are extremely brave and can conquer well, which is the basis for Yangshanzhai to become one of the three forces in Xiaoling River. In addition to the dead soldiers, Yangshanzhai also directly controls the two villages of Diliwa and Maoshipu. Whenever there is a conflict with Zhang

When there was a fight in Jiabao, these two villages were the main sources of recruitment for Yangshan Village. In addition, according to local villagers, when a large-scale battle occurred, Yangshan Village would also recruit troops from one of its subordinate villages. It was said that two years ago

In the Battle of Laohutan, the total number of troops mobilized by Yangshan Village reached thousands.

Zhangjiabao is a village dominated by children of a wealthy family surnamed Zhang. The Zhang family is a wealthy family in the Xiaoling River Basin with thousands of children. Therefore, although the Zhang family does not support elite soldiers like Yangshan village, they are extremely united and harmonious.

When a battle breaks out in Yangshan Village, the whole clan, regardless of gender, old or young, often joins the battle, advancing and retreating together, which is very brave.

Xinsi Fort is just a small stone fort. Strictly speaking, this small stone fort is just a meeting place. Xinsi Fort cannot be regarded as a very unified force, and it does not have a dominant controller. It is composed of thirty-two people in the lower reaches of Xiaoling River.

The villages are united and usually do not fight with outsiders. When danger occurs, the thirty-two villages will discuss together in the small stone castle and deal with the outside world unanimously.

Among these three forces, as far as we know, Yangshanzhai is the most unpopular and has a very bad reputation. After Yuhou Si discussed with Chang Shifu, and reported to General Li and Feng Changshi for their approval, Yuhousi decided to include Yangshanzhai in the list.

Among the targets of combat, they should be targeted with key strikes. This is not only a move to win the hearts and minds of the people, but also has the effect of killing chickens and frightening monkeys. For Zhangjiabao and Xinsi Fort, Yu Housi has formulated separate plans based on their subsequent reactions and performances.

Develop a targeted combat plan.”

After Gao Mingbo finished the introduction, he stepped back and took his seat. Li Chengzhong glanced at the audience and said loudly: "Do you understand? The first batch of new troops of the Yingzhou Army has been trained and has been getting used to it in various teams for a period of time.

It's time to take it out and test the effect. This battle is confidential and involves all aspects of civil and military affairs. After receiving the task, everyone will act according to the order. There will be leakers, delays, and dereliction of duty. No matter how big or small, military law will apply.

Severe punishment! Next, Yuhou Si Zhang Duyu announced the Xiaolinghe battle plan!" To be continued. (..), your support is my greatest motivation.)
