"The government forced the people to rebel in Liangshan" is a declarative sentence describing the fact. Lu Xu believed that among the people present, there were definitely good people who were "forced to go to Liangshan". And these people chose to join the army when the country was in crisis. Lu Xu felt that with a little guidance, they could
Even if these people cannot become handsome men, they can still become generals.
Now, Lu Xu helped them vent their anger. In addition, Wen Yuanzhong had just established his special status among the rural generals, and he was the natural leader of these people.
By the time Lu Xu has established a firm foothold on Qinfeng Road, these people will all be his team members.
Unlike the imperial court and the entire Qingliu Group's view of Qinfeng Road, Lu Xu feels that Qinfeng Road is really a treasure! For Lu Xu, this is definitely the most suitable place for him to start a business!
The fundamental reason why the imperial court did not pay attention to Qinfeng Road was that it was close to the Beiting Khanate and was the first stop for Beiting people going south.
Moreover, this place was severely damaged by the Beiting people, and the economy and population of Qinfeng Road were hit hard.
Even if Daliang resumes its rule over Qinfeng Road, this area will not bring much benefit to Daliang.
The greatest value of a piece of land to the imperial court was manpower and tax revenue. Qinfeng Road suffered a serious loss of human resources, especially the large loss of young people. The imperial court could obtain very few manpower here.
Especially this time, the imperial court also recruited a large number of rural soldiers. Once these rural soldiers suffered a large number of casualties in the battle with Beiting, the last group of bloody men in this land who dared to fight to the death would probably be extinct.
What is left is a group of people who only dare to become refugees and flee under the attack of Beiting people. And as long as they become refugees, they are no longer the wealth of the imperial court but a burden to the imperial court.
As for the taxes on Qinfeng Road?
Then don’t even think about it!
Qinfeng Road now has almost only military value. If it wants to keep it, the imperial court will not only be unable to collect taxes here, but will also have to spend a large amount of real money every year to strengthen the defense line.
It is precisely because Qin Feng Road really has no profit and water, and the last bit of residual value has been almost eaten up by various masters in this year.
If the emperor can take back Qin Feng Road after this battle, then Qin Feng Road will free up a large number of official positions, and the emperor can use these official positions in exchange for a large amount of benefits.
At that time, Qinfeng Road will be valuable to the emperor. Now Qinfeng Road, which is completely controlled by Qingliu, is worthless to the emperor. That's why the emperor can just abandon this place.
However, for Lu Xu, this place is too precious!
There are two most precious things about this land.
First, this is a land that has lost its authority.
The people of Qinfeng Road knew very well that they had been abandoned by the court. So they also gave up on the court and the emperor. Now they just want to live.
If someone can lead them to survive, they will never hesitate even if they rebel. This is already very important to Lu Xu.
Secondly, the folk customs here are fierce!
Although a large number of refugees did appear here, at the same time, even though they knew that fighting would lead to death, hundreds of thousands of hard-blooded men on Qinfeng Road still stood up and rushed to the battlefield. Doesn't this mean that this is a place with strong folk customs?
As long as Lu Xu can give them enough equipment, money and food, the army composed mainly of Qin Fenglu's children will definitely be qualified to sweep the world!
In addition to the above two points, there is another point that is also very important to Lu Xu. It can even be said to be one of Lu Xu's mid-term goals.
Precisely because this is the first line of Daliang's resistance to Beiting's invasion, once a military separatist force rises here that can block Beiting's army, both Beiting people and Daliang people will have to be careful with Lu Xu.
Then he will have even more room for development.
And if you want to achieve all of this, the first step is to use Ma Xingzhou's head to completely stabilize your position as the leading brother.
Chang Yao naturally didn't know that Lu Xu had gone through so many thoughts in his mind. He only knew that with Lu Xu's support, he could finally take revenge. So he poured out all the grievances he had suffered to Wen Yuanzhong.
When Wen Yuanzhong heard Chang Yao's cry, he was naturally "livid", and then he ordered people to drag Ma Xingzhou down, and then strictly investigate Ma Xingzhou's corruption case.
When Ma Xingzhou was dragged down, he did not resent Chang Yao, nor did he curse Wen Yuanzhong. He just laughed wildly and cursed Lu Xu for not having a good death!
And what about Lu Xu?
He continued to observe his eyes, nose and heart, motionless as a mountain.
However, no one in the conference room dared to underestimate Lu Xu's influence and courage.
When the combat meeting was over, Wen Yuanzhong gave Lu Xu another gift.
Anyway, Wen Yuanzhong has already given Lu Xu so many gifts, and his future glory and wealth will depend on Lu Xu. In the end, he doesn't care about this little benefit.
Just listen to him say: "Perhaps you don't know that just today Lu Xu has officially been appointed as the commander of the Xin'an Army. He has become the commander of the Xiang Army."
"In order to allow Mr. Lu to better command the armies in wartime, I have given an order that Mr. Lu can act as commander of the carriage during wartime and make him responsible for commanding a group of troops."
Hearing these words, all the local soldiers and generals present began to breathe quickly.
Chang Yao was even more overjoyed. Looking at his expression, he looked like a pauper suddenly hit by five million. Lu Xu smiled slightly. He felt that this Wen Yuanzhong was really sensible. He really spared no effort to raise himself to work for him.
Own.
Although it doesn't have much impact whether he says it or not, but if he says it here, his position as the leading brother has been established at this time!
There are two most important messages in Wen Yuanzhong's words. He first emphasized that Lu Xu was no longer a rural soldier, but had become a member of the regular army of the imperial court.
This seemed to divide Lu Xu and everyone present into two camps. However, he later emphasized that Lu Xu could command the local soldiers and command a group during the war.
There are ten small armies in one carriage, and ten small armies means that in addition to Lu Xu's own troops, Lu Xu can also accept eight or nine local soldiers and generals.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all the local soldiers and generals!
Because if Lu Xu has made military exploits on the battlefield, then Lu Xu will not be the "temporary commander of the compartment", he will become the real commander of the compartment.
At that time, Lu Xu will be able to ascend to heaven by himself, and the generals of the local soldiers under Lu Xu's command will take advantage of this trend and become members of the regular army of the imperial court.
Even if they have completely got rid of their identity as "wild people" and become real people with official status!
In today’s terms, this is a complete class transition!
And can Lu Xu make military exploits?
Although there are some uneducated people among the people present, those who have actually been bandits or have suppressed bandits know it well. The probability that Lu Xu can successfully defend Xinan Village is very high. In other words, this force can lead everyone
The east wind of "chickens and dogs ascending to heaven" is already close at hand!
