(I went to have a gastroscopy today, but I didn't make an appointment for a painless one, so I could only go to the ordinary one for the sake of the expert outpatient clinic, which made me die and live, it was too painful.) Ask for comfort! ）

"Yingzhou has been under the control of the Lulong people for many years, and the power has penetrated into all aspects, and it seems that it will take time to fully control Yingzhou, and it will also need to continue to shed blood." Li Ze shook his head and said, "How many recalcitrant forces are left?" ”

"Within fifty miles of the state city, there is no longer a force that can oppose us." Huang De said with a smile: "I probably saw it when the festival marshal came over, and I was moving the population to the periphery of the state city. ”

Li Ze nodded and said: "This is a good way, relying on the state city, it can stimulate the surrounding economy, these people who move to the vicinity of the state city will soon be able to get benefits from it, and when their benefits are combined with the city, the cohesion will naturally increase greatly." ”

"Wise and wise." Huang De smiled and flattered: "The people around the city have more trust in the government, and the farther away from the city, although the awe of the government is not reduced, but the fear is greater than the respect, and the farther away, the lower their dependence on the city." And they are more self-sufficient, and the power of the clan is greater. Often, many things can be decided by the elders and parents of the clan in one word, and few things will find the government. ”

Li Ze looked at Huang De and smiled: "This is Huang Tingshi's own research?" ”

"I don't dare to say it's an experience, it's just a small discovery." Huang Dedao: "When my subordinates served as county commanders in Yizhou, many government decrees were obviously beneficial to those small people, but they could not be carried out in the countryside, the reason was that the people trusted the clan and trusted the government more, and the imperial power did not go to the countryside!" In many cases, there were murders, and by the time our government arrived, the clan had already dealt with it cleanly, and we had no way to do it. And if we have a conflict with these wealthy forces, it will often lead to trouble, and these patriarchs sometimes want to get rid of us, but they only need to use small means, and the state in order to keep one side calm, more often they ask us to leave. ”

Li Ze didn't expect that the Huang De in front of him actually had such a deep understanding of this.

He looked appreciatively at the official in front of him who he didn't know earlier, and sent Huang De to Yingzhou, firstly, this person was deeply appreciated by Cao Xin and was Cao Xin's cronies, secondly, it was also to balance the forces of all parties, and thirdly, this person had experience in the governance of a county, but now it seemed that he had found the right person by mistake, and when he saw Huang De talking about the local clan forces, he looked angry, Li Ze felt wonderful.

Because now, he is thinking about how to fight the Haoqiang clan.

"So, the Haoqiang clan is a big cancer in the place." Li Zedao: "I don't care how rich they are, but this money can't be deprived from the people, nor can it be snatched from us." Most of the money we got was used to benefit the villages, build roads and bridges, build water conservancy, and build armies to protect the localities, but these people got the money, but they basically enjoyed it themselves and even buried it in the cellar. Even with this money to equip weapons, privately build armor, and don't get rid of these tumors, how can we become strong? ”

Huang Dedao: "I watched the strategy of the festival marshal in Wuyi, Xindu, and Yizhou, and I knew that the festival commander wanted to dig out the foundation of these people's survival from the roots, but the festival marshal, in this way, will offend many people!" There is a fear of internal turmoil. ”

"As long as the army supports it, I don't care about them." Li Ze shook his head and said. "There is no revolution that can be completed without bloodshed, so I am ready to kill a group of people. Not now, of course. ”

Huang De nodded and said, "Anyway, these people, if they are all killed, they will not be wronged." ”

Li Ze smiled, but he couldn't see that Huang De had such a grudge against these people, probably when he was the county commander, he was a lot angry with these people.

"The rest of the Dock Fort is probably not easy to fight, right?"

"I don't know much about military matters. But it doesn't seem that difficult, I watch Liu don't drive, it's more like training the army. Huang Dedao: "Every time you get a dock fort, Liu Beijia will change to a curved army. It looks more like a round battle, a training exercise. ”

"Thinking about it, no matter how strong the dock fort is, it is only a few local powers. Even with some support from the Lurongs, it would not be helpful. So, you've already rotated three songs? Li Zedao.

"Yes, this time it was the soldiers and horses that were brought out by Captain Hou Fangyu." Huang De nodded. "Now there are two Qu stationed in the state city, and two Qu are scattered in the dock fort that was laid."

"Why are you stationed at Fort Dock?" Li Ze asked.

"The festival commander doesn't know. Most of the places occupied by these dock forts in Yingzhou are traffic arteries, and the land is fertile, and it is close to the water source. We defeated the dock fort and killed those rebels, but these good fields cannot be abandoned, and those dock forts are built very strongly, and after they are taken, they are used to garrison troops and control the place is also excellent, even if there is another war with the Lurong people in the future, these dock forts are also the best places to fight. ”

"Why have so many dock forts formed in Yingzhou?" Li Ze was a little puzzled.

"It all started more than a decade ago." Huang Dedao: "I also started to understand these things after I came here. More than ten years ago, the Khitan people have gradually condensed into a single sign of building a country, Yelu Abaoji is also an immortal hero, at that time the Khitan cavalry often went south on a large scale, they were flexible, grabbed and left, the Tang border army was helpless. In order to protect themselves, some such dock forts have been formed, and the powerful clans gather in the townships to protect themselves. Although the Khitan cavalry was strong, they were not good at attacking such fortresses, and more importantly, once they delayed too much time under these dock forts, a large number of Tang troops would hear about it. ”

"I see." Li Ze suddenly realized.

But this strategy was effective at first, and after a long time, the Khitans also found a way to crack it, and they used the dock fort to set up ambushes many times, and the Tang army was defeated. At that time, there was no envoy of Lu Long, but now the territory under Lu Long's jurisdiction has been beaten by the Khitans. Huang Dedao: "It wasn't until Zhang Zhongwu became the envoy of Lu Longjie and Mr. Gongsun also arrived here that the form began to slowly improve." ”

"Speaking of which, Zhang Zhongwu also has merit, if it weren't for him, Lulong Kyushu would have been reduced to a horse grazing ground for the Khitans a long time ago."

"Who's to say it isn't?" Huang De said with a smile: "From Yingzhou City to the north, there are more and more such dock forts, and to the south, close to the mainland, there are basically none. The farther north the Dock Fort became, the more fierce it became, and now the Lurons supported them more. As far as I know, the largest dock fort can gather thousands of villagers. Fierce and tight. ”

"No wonder Liu Chenglin has to take turns to train the troops, this is in preparation for pulling out the last nails, right?" Li Ze said with a smile.

Huang De nodded and said: "Those dock forts close to Mozhou, the Lulong people will never watch us pull them out, and there will definitely be a big war at that time." ”

"Then let's fight. We suppress bandits, and the Lulong people can only support them secretly, but can't help them openly, otherwise, we will turn our faces. Li Ze smiled: "I have just reached some tacit understanding with Zhang Zhongwen, so they will only secretly do it." ”

Huang De smiled knowingly.

Seeing off Huang De, Bao Hui walked into Li Ze's room.

Li Ze looked at Bao Hui with a smile: "Bao Changshi, your reputation is in full swing now, I heard that you have taken your eldest sister-in-law and nephews and nieces to Yingzhou." ”

"Yes!" Bao Hui sat on the stool with half of her buttocks, looking extremely restrained. Compared with Huang De's sprinkling, it was a completely different style, the room was not hot, but there were shiny beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Li Rui told me about you, by the way, Li Rui is Hu Twelve." Li Ze looked at Bao Hui's somewhat blank eyes and explained: "I don't want to say anything else, but since you pretend, you have to pretend to the end, and there are some things that you just need to pretend for a lifetime, and it will come true." Don't let me hear anything bad. ”

Bao Hui nodded repeatedly. "I don't dare to deceive my son, now I am also difficult to ride a tiger, I can only serve the eldest sister-in-law and mother, that is, nephews and nieces, I also take it seriously as my own children, no, it is better than my own children, after all, people are terrible, as long as I do a little badly, I will give up all my efforts."

"Well, it looks like you're an understanding person too." Li Zedao: "Actually, I don't care if you're pretending or real, as long as the truth is as I expected." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

"Let's talk about your work during this time, there is no need to talk about the long history, Huang De has already told me just now, and he still has a good evaluation of you." Li Zedao.

"Yes, Childe, then I'll only talk about the intelligence work on Lu Long's side." Bao Hui nodded, "I'm mainly focusing on some of the people in those dock forts right now. ”

"Those dock forts are all local neighbors, isn't the work too easy to carry out?"

"If it was in the past, it would have been really difficult. But now it's different, every time Liu Beijia hits the dock fort, there will always be some people who escape. Bao Hui said. My goal is the mid-level forces of the Dock Fort. ”

Li Ze laughed: "You can't use your own personal experience on some people here, right?" ”

"These are just some of them, and there are others." Bao Hui said a little proudly.

"You don't have to tell me the details, just talk about the results!" Li Zedao.

"Yes, after these people escape, the possibility of being suspected is very low, I don't ask them to do anything, just let them find an opportunity to escape to places like Mozhou and even Youzhou in the future." Bao Hui said: "Laying down these dock forts, they don't need to do anything, Liu Bei is enough, these people, I want to wait until the future to be useful." This is a long line to catch big fish, you have to be patient in order to have a big harvest. ”

"What Li Rui taught you?"

"Yes!"

"How do you control these people?"

"Their families are in our hands." Bao Hui said: "I have sent some of their family members to Jingzhou and some to Shenzhou. We have the power to watch over them. Of course, it is claimed to be killed to the outside world. ”

"Very well, these fish, you can keep them well. It would be even better if you could raise big fish. ”
