There are many officials in Laizhou City. In addition to Sun Yuanhua, the local magistrate Zhu, the magistrate Hong and the generals stationed at the guard station, there is also the Shandong patrol censor Wang Daochun. According to the historical trajectory, a large number of officials and generals will come to Laizhou in February. : Yang Yufan, the commander-in-chief who defeated Xincheng, and Xu Congzhi, the newly appointed governor of Shandong - logically there is also Xie Lian, but now that Sun Yuanhua is safe and sound, I wonder if it will be his turn to be the governor of Denglai. In addition, there is also Xu De, the eunuch who oversees the army. Shi He Zhai Sheng and so on.
Among the rural officials, there are also a group of prominent officials from the past. The highest-ranking one is Jia Yuxiang, who was formerly the deputy censor of Zuodu. The lower ranking ones include Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqi, and Zhang Xin, who is now deposed from home... These people are all involved in Laizhou. defensive warfare.
All of these people are fine people. As a "country brave", the traces of "Kun thieves" are too strong. Although there is no news network in the Ming Dynasty, officials are relatively well-informed. There are "Kun thieves" with sharp firearms in Guangdong. "They probably have a vague idea of this matter. It is not appropriate for them to show their faces in front of them for any reason.
Sun Yuanhua is such a shrewd person. He immediately understood what Lu Zeyang meant when he heard what he said. Although he didn't know the future historical direction, he had already received the news that Xu Congzhi was going to enter the city. He fully agreed with the other party's unwillingness to create more details.
"I wonder where Lu Zhuangshi would like to be stationed?" Sun Yuanhua nodded and agreed to his request.
Lu Zeyang had already considered this issue on the road. If he stayed in the city, host and guest armies from all walks of life would soon gather in the city. Historically, host and guest armies rarely had a harmonious relationship. Even if the officials suppressed it effectively, there were more than a hundred people like him in the city. Not only was he inevitably involved, but he also had to put a lot of effort into trying to deal with all aspects of the relationship, which was very energy-consuming.
Moreover, the relevant intelligence predictions sent by the history research group of the Great Library also mentioned that Sun Yuanhua is likely to lose his position as governor of Denglai - even if he continues to keep this position, there is still Xu Congzhi in Laizhou City, and Sun Yuanhua will be very important in the city in the future. It is difficult to maintain absolute authority. After all, our troops are small in strength. Without Sun Yuanhua's support, they might be used as cannon fodder.
The best thing to do is to station outside the city based on the situation. However, this location cannot be too far away from the city. If you are alone and unable to play a role at a critical moment, you will lose your purpose of going to Laizhou. So think twice about it. He expressed his willingness to lead his army to station in the pass outside the city. The location was the pass outside the south gate.
Compared to the other three city gates, the outside of the South Gate is relatively remote. There are many ancestral halls and cemeteries of wealthy families outside the city. There are many empty houses, which is convenient for garrisoning. More importantly, it is relatively close to Hutou Cliff, the main harbor of Laizhou, which is convenient for transportation. The navy responded from the sea.
In all city defense battles in the Ming Dynasty, as long as conditions permitted, the defenders would try to set up camps outside the city to directly protect the city gate. It is not surprising that Lu Zeyang asked Ying to guard the pass at the south gate to defend the city.
"It's okay to station at the south gate gate. But you only have a hundred people. How can you guard the south gate gate?" Sun Yuanhua felt that the other party's willingness to take the initiative to guard the south gate gate was commendable, but it would be too much. According to his idea, stationed at the south gate The strength of the army must be at least 500 soldiers, coupled with local braves and strong men - it may not be enough. The large number of firearms in Dengzhou City will probably be transported by the rebels to attack the city. By then, I am afraid that even 500 people will not be able to fill it.
"You must also know that our firearms are sharp -" Lu Zeyang did not hide it, "the rebels are no more than local chickens and wagyuers."
This was too much to say. Sun Yuanhua was a little displeased when Lu Zeyang added: "If there are some surplus troops in the city, and a few hundred strong men from the countryside can be mobilized to help in the battle, I will be very grateful."
The implication was that officers and soldiers were not needed. Sun Yuanhua understood what he meant. But when he thought of entrusting Nanmen Pass to hundreds of brave men from the countryside, he hesitated a little. But then he thought that he did not have many fresh troops in his hands, and the fall of Guanxiang would be a matter of time. It might as well be to retain strong soldiers to defend the city directly.
Although the soldiers brought by Lu Zeyang are called Xiang Yong, their actual combat strength will not be lower than that of Ming Dynasty soldiers - maybe even better than them. Otherwise, they will never defeat He Zhentai's army in Hainan.
"Okay!" Sun Yuanhua nodded, "You will be stationed at Nanguanxiang." He pondered for a moment, "The guarding of the south gate will be personally presided over by the students."
"My lord is wise!" Lu Zeyang thought to himself that Sun Yuanhua is indeed a sensible person. When defending the city, it was the practice of the Ming Dynasty that the main officials in the city were each responsible for one department. In the historical Laizhou defense battle, Xu Congzhi, Xie Lian and others were each responsible for one department. Xu Congzhi was hit by rebel artillery fire and died during the battle to defend the city. If another official was put in charge, there would inevitably be doubts about the origin of this rural hero. It would be much more convenient for Sun Yuanhua to be directly responsible.
As for the local warriors sent, Lu Zeyang was confident that he could control them all. They would be used as migrant workers first, and then they would be directly replenished into the advancing column.
"It's just that the south gate still lacks a guard..." Sun Yuanhua thought of another thing. In any case, Lu Zeyang is just a "civilian" with no reputation at all. He is responsible for the defense of Nanguanxiang and has no name, and he has no ability to cooperate with other troops in the city. Easy. He no longer has a trusted general in his hands, which makes him a little embarrassed.
"You can ask General Zhang Tao to defend the south gate." Lu Zeyang said. Seeing Sun Yuanhua's face full of surprise, Lu Zeyang immediately told him in a low voice the news that Song Guanglan, Wang Zheng, Zhang Tao and others had been rescued.
"Don't worry, sir. We have temporarily detained them on the island. After they have rested for a day or two, we will escort them to Laizhou." He said meaningfully, "Several adults were able to fight their way out of the rebel army. Naturally, He is a person who understands justice and knows the truth, so you don’t have to worry..."
"Very good!" Sun Yuanhua was overjoyed. The rescue of these people was certainly good news for him, who was almost a bare commander, but they also knew more or less about their capture. Now Lu Zeyang said clearly: These people They are all prepared to conceal their experience of being captured. Everyone is on the same page, so as long as they share the same message, there is no need to worry about being captured.
At that moment, Sun Yuanhua gave him a few more instructions, and then asked an aide to take him to see Zhu Wannian with his handwriting: All village heroes who came to the city to assist in the defense must register with him and report their number of people and weapons so that the government can send them to the government. Provide food and military pay, and at the same time replenish a number of weapons depending on the situation.
Walking on the main avenue of Gulou Street in the county seat of Ye County, which runs directly south and north, looking at the dilapidated Laizhou government office not far away, Elder Lu Zeyang couldn't help but feel a sense of absurd dissonance.
Although there is only one word difference in their names, Lu Zeyang and Lu Yang are not even remotely related: Lu Yang is from Ningxia, and Lu Zeyang's family is from Shandong, to be more precise, Laizhou City, Yantai, Shandong Province, which is today Ye County, the capital of Laizhou Prefecture, where Sun Yuanhua is located. This was also the critical moment when Operation Engine was in progress. The Senate finally freed him from the heavy audit work of the Cheka and sent him to the front line of Laizhou. Speaking of the familiarity with Laizhou scenery, the entire Senate No one in the hospital can compare with him. Not to mention anything else, the Laizhou dialect among the special reconnaissance team soldiers and lurking intelligence agents was personally taught by veteran Lu Zeyang.
Although there are also deserters or refugees from Dongsan Prefecture such as Huang Ande among the naturalized people, most of them are from Dengzhou Prefecture further east, which is later Weihai Yantai area. The gap between the dialect there and Laizhou dialect even reaches the point of using
You can tell the difference with your ears. This was also a huge headache for the Executive Committee in the planning stage of Operation Engine. When they couldn't find any naturalized Laizhou citizens, they had no choice but to drag Yuan Lu to death.
Horse doctors provide training for people. Fortunately, Laizhou's population composition did not change much from the end of Ming Dynasty to the entire Qing Dynasty, and the dialect was well preserved. Therefore, Lu Yuanlao's teaching of Laizhou dialect was "very effective" according to the feedback from the front finger of the engine.
.
In fact, during the preparation stage of Operation Engine, Mr. Lu wanted to go back to his "hometown" in the geographical sense to have a look. Unfortunately, he was neither a military personnel nor a dispensable member of the public. As an accounting major at Xiamen University,
Graduates, even in the financial sector where there are many talents, Mr. Lu is still a scarce financial and accounting professional. Moreover, he is one of the few people who has worked in the National Taxation and Inspection Bureau, and is familiar with the organizational structure, so Cheng Dong and Yifan have always been
He was the main labor force officer. During the initial stage of the Cheka and the State Administration of Taxation, Elder Lu was always on the front line. And the engine was beginning to catch up with the year-end accounting stage of taxation. Elder Lu felt that he had almost returned to the time when he was working in the tax department.
Days of internship in the office: one cup of coffee after another from morning to night, busy with piles of year-end reports in the smoky office...
The busy and jealous Lu Yuanlao naturally missed the opportunity to dispatch the first batch of personnel. He himself had strong opinions on this. The reason why he gave up his ordinary life as a civil servant and participated in time travel was naturally because he wanted to make a career. Lu Yuanlao had great ambitions.
One ambition: to follow the example of Song Ziwen, the God of Wealth, to establish a senate version of the Tax Police Corps, or an armed fiscal guard!
The tax police is a powerful department established for the purpose of anti-smuggling and combating tax evasion. It is established in Russia, Italy and other powerful countries, but not in China. The tax inspection bureau only has the power to audit accounts and crack down on tax evasion business.
It belongs to the Economic Crime Investigation Section of the Public Security Bureau, which is not even as good as the Customs. At least it has full-time anti-smuggling police. Of course, the ultimate tax police is the tax police group of my uncle Song Ziwen. Of course, this is not possible under the Senate system.
It is possible. However, following the example of Italy, establishing a small-scale, paramilitary "armed fiscal guard" is quite popular with several financial leaders. With the expansion of strength, Yifan
I also feel more and more that my department still needs to seize the barrel of the gun, otherwise the name Cheka will be in vain.
