Chapter 19: Spark!
When he came to the Ningyuan Official Hall, Xu Changqing was still a little apprehensive, and he couldn't understand Hong Chengchou's intentions.
After all, although this thing is a good deed to save the people from fire and water and accumulate merit, it is always coveted, it breaks the rules, and it is not easy to put it on the surface.
Even if there is a common interest on Liu Lang's side as support, Xu Changqing can't figure out Hong Chengchou's preferences for a while, and he is a little afraid of committing Hong Chengchou's taboo.
"Lord Xu, please come here, the governor is waiting for you inside."
At this time, a small guy interrupted Xu Changqing's thoughts.
Xu Changqing hurriedly smiled at this little guy and followed behind him, and his heart was also relieved.
Even if this matter is coveted, it is definitely a good thing, and it can also share some problems for Hong Chengchou, the key depends on how to say it!
…
The main building of Ningyuan Official Hall is still very majestic and extremely atmospheric, but the furnishings are very simple, there is nothing rich and fancy, it can also be seen that Hong Chengchou doesn't seem to care too much about these, which also makes Xu Changqing's heart relax a little.
When he came to the study, Hong Chengchou was lying in front of the desk and writing hard, as if he was writing a chapter.
Xu Changqing naturally didn't say much, and stood at the door carefully.
After more than ten minutes, Hong Chengchou stopped his pen, carefully blew the ink, and looked at Xu Changqing with a smile: "The little ghost is clever, are you in a hurry?" ”
Xu Changqing hurriedly kowtowed respectfully, and said with a smile: "The governor works hard, and he only hates to be arrested by his humble duties, and he can't share his worries for the governor." ”
"Haha."
Hong Chengchou seemed to be in a good mood, and laughed: "You, you, in front of me, do you still need this?" ”
As he spoke, he sat down on the Taishi chair next to him and motioned for Xu Changqing to come forward and speak.
Xu Changqing came to the front, and Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Little ghost clever, I heard that the source of the soldiers you selected this time is some homeless people from Liaodi?" ”
Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and the cold sweat couldn't stop seeping out of his heart.
However, seeing that Hong Chengchou didn't seem to be too harsh, Xu Changqing quickly calmed down, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Governor, this matter, the humble position is indeed .... Some are impulsive, and they have broken the rules, but the Tartars have been suppressing Liaoxi for more than a year, and the people in the countless tunbao around them have been displaced, and their lives are really..."
Saying that, Xu Changqing knelt directly on the ground, "Governor, it's all because you are too greedy, you want to share your worries for the governor, and you want to solve some problems on your side, so I beg the governor to punish you!" ”
Things have come to this point, and Xu Changqing also wants to figure it out.
It may be difficult to say about the other departments, but in this one-third of an acre of land in the superintendent camp, what can be hidden from Hong Chengchou's eyes?
I'm afraid Liu Lang has already told Hong Chengchou all about this.
Since this is the case, how could Xu Changqing hide it anymore and directly explain everything, but it was like 'extenuating circumstances, but the law is unforgivable', Xu Changqing made a little move between this cause and effect.
Looking at Xu Changqing's weak appearance, Hong Chengchou's eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly, and immediately, he looked out the window a little slowly.
Seeing Hong Chengchou's posture, Xu Changqing instantly had a lot of confidence in his heart, even if this matter was a bit taboo, but it was not a big problem.
After a while, Hong Chengchou sighed and said, "Liaomin, it's bitter." ”
As he spoke, he looked into Xu Changqing's eyes: "Xiao Xu, on your small island, can you feed more than two thousand people?" ”
Xu Changqing had already completely touched Hong Chengchou's pulse at this time, and his own move could be regarded as scratching an itch for Hong Chengchou.
is busy respectfully revising his own structure and describing Hong Chengchou in detail.
To put it bluntly, Xu Changqing's plan was the strategy of the later Taizu's guerrilla warfare, taking advantage of the weakness that the enemy could not control, and seizing every opportunity to develop himself.
However, this kind of thing can't be said too thoroughly, and half of the room must be left for Hong Chengchou to comprehend by himself.
"Governor, although there is some certainty in this matter, but ~, I was forced to go to Liangshan and gritted my teeth. Fishing must be unstable, and the only way to do your best is to keep these people from starving......"
After speaking, Xu Changqing kowtowed heavily.
Hong Chengchou almost touched Xu Changqing's train of thought at this time, and his face was a little dull and solemn.
For the state of Liaodi at this time, how familiar is he a thousand times or ten thousand times more familiar than Xu Changqing? Naturally, he deeply understood the current miserable situation of those poor Liao people's soldiers.
These days, Hong Chengchou has not thought about solving it, but he can only digest it by sending reinforcements from all over the country and building various fortifications, which can barely make these people live.
At this time, Xu Changqing really took over the burden and completely carried the livelihood of more than 2,000 people!
The difference between these is obviously incomparable.
"Xiao Xu, if you accept these homeless people, then, how should you arrange the war next?"
After a while, Hong Chengchou spoke again, looking into Xu Changqing's eyes.
Xu Changqing already understood at this time that Lao Hong was already tempted, and he was busy explaining the 'coastal strategy' to Hong Chengchou in more detail.
For various reasons, the Manchus were always afraid of the sea, although they first destroyed Juehua Island and then Phi Island, and the sea was not absolutely safe, but that was only for others.
If Xu Changqing can have such a fulcrum, how can he let the Tartars succeed?
There's nothing you can't let go, you can't beat it and run away, as long as someone is there, you can make a comeback at any time.
However, at this time, although Mao Wenlong's 'guerrilla warfare strategy' had achieved certain results, compared with the later Taizu's "On Guerrilla Warfare", it was a world of difference.
With the support of this powerful system that is hundreds of years ahead of the times, Xu Changqing is naturally familiar with these routines.
And in history, Hong Chengchou, including the various departments of the Ming army, still relied on the stupidest and stupidest military supplies in the final way of dealing with these Liao people's troops.
With the defeat of the Battle of Songjin, these people who had been fighting tenaciously against the Qing army were either slaughtered or rewarded as merit and rewarded to the minions.
One trade-off!
This also made the strength of the Qing army continue to expand, and the Ming Dynasty, who knew the Qing army and was full of the seeds of strong resistance genes for the Qing army, was wiped out little by little.
At this time, after Xu Changqing finished speaking, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but nod again and again.
At this time, he was completely pulled by Xu Changqing's train of thought.
Although Xu Changqing is just a small spark at this time, it can be used as a pilot!
If it does, it is naturally the best, and if it doesn't work, it won't have much impact on the general trend.
At this time, it was only the second day of the first month of June, and now only the Bai Guangen Department of Jizhen and the Shanhaiguan Horse Department rushed over to the reinforcements of the various departments of the Ming Army, and the other departments were on the way, and Hong Chengchou still had time to adjust.
However, although he has accepted Xu Changqing's strategy, who is Hong Chengchou? will definitely not be in a hurry to express his position, but in a more detailed improvement of the details, planning the pros and cons.
Xu Changqing also became more and more calm at this time.
Even if he doesn't have enough contact with Hong Chengchou and doesn't know him too well, but with Hong Chengchou's bearing and mind, Xu Changqing believes that Lao Hong will make the right choice!
Otherwise, he would not have been able to stand in this position.
After a while, Hong Chengchou's momentum suddenly became awe-inspiring, and he stared directly at Xu Changqing's eyes: "Xiao Xu, I will only give you five hundred fine horses, are you sure that you will transport these people to that pig's trotter island?" ”
Xu Changqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and after a moment he forcibly suppressed this excitement, and said respectfully: "Governor, if you can't complete the task, I am willing to come and see you!" ”
Hong Chengchou's momentum dissipated at this time, he stood up gently, and patted Xu Changqing's shoulder vigorously: "Little ghost is clever, I was also scared by you." However, things always have to be tried, how do you know if you can do it without trying? Do this well, and I will promote you to a thousand households! ”
………
Out of the Ningyuan official hall, Xu Changqing's official position jumped up again, and he was officially changed to the deputy general manager of the Ningyuan front line and Hong Chengchou's standard battalion!
In later generations, this is a high-ranking official at the deputy regimental level.
And from the general flag to this thousand presidents, Xu Changqing only took less than half a month, and he walked the road that many people may not be able to walk in their lifetime!
However, although Hong Chengchou nodded his head and asked Liu Lang to fully cooperate, Xu Changqing's side was still under great pressure.
Whether they can let the Qin army masters of the Supervising Battalion contribute is one thing, and the other is that these old and weak women and children of the Liao people are too many and too weak, can they withstand this kind of intensity?
If something goes wrong in the process, an epidemic or something even more terrifying, it's no joke.
But Xu Changqing quickly calmed down.
Now it is dozens of times better than the situation at the beginning, and the most difficult problem has been solved.
…
Back at the Liaomin station, Xu Changqing thought for a moment, made a list, and asked Ergou to take people to the city to buy all kinds of old ginger and medicinal herbs, and asked Zhao Zengjin to take people to clean up firewood and prepare clean water for later use.
Before leaving, these people must take a good bath, drink some ginger soup and traditional Chinese medicine, stabilize their bodies, wash their clothes, and keep the overall situation from messing up.
It's the height of summer, and these problems aren't too big.
After dealing with the camp, Xu Changqing quickly rushed to the supervision camp and looked for Liu Langtao.
Although Hong Chengchou ordered the Governor Battalion to send troops, how could Xu Changqing not catch his eyes? It must be to give these Qin army masters some benefits.
Fortunately, Xu Changqing still has more than 2,000 taels of silver, and he will give 1,200 taels to these Qin army's masters, which is not a big problem.
Seeing that Xu Changqing is so sensible, every soldier of the Qin army who goes to war can get a 'subsidy' of two taels of silver, and he Liu Lang has a benefit fee of two hundred taels here, plus this matter also has a part of his Liu Lang's effectiveness, Liu Lang also happily responded to the matter.
The Inspector Battalion can send troops at any time, just wait for Xu Changqing to clean up and set up!
got Liu Lang's promise, and Xu Changqing's heart was also determined!
Even if these Qin Jun's uncles don't make a difference, they just put on a show and go through the motions, this matter will become more than half!
…
In the next two days, Xu Changqing was almost busy with a spinning top that could not touch the ground, running between the Liaoying Mindi, the Supervisory Battalion and the third line of Pig's Trotter Island.
Fortunately, the people at this time were simple, and Xu Changqing's reputation began to spread, and with continuous efforts, things were gradually pushed to the track.
After the coordination of all parties, Xu Changqing set the time for departure in the early morning of the fifth day of June in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty!
And from the afternoon of the fourth day of the sixth month, whether it was the five hundred elite cavalry of the Qin army or the more than two thousand homeless people, they all came to assemble outside the east gate of Ningyuan City.
The homeless people don't care, but the uncles of the Qin army are quite complaining about this.
The main reason is that they don't like Xu Changqing, at this time, Xu Changqing actually tossed them so much, there is a camp that they don't let them live, and they actually camp outside the city, who the hell is this stinky problem of this little deflated three?
But as a few mouthfuls of big fat pigs were slaughtered on the spot, they were thrown into the cauldron and stewed, and each of them began to receive the 'levy fee' of two taels of silver presented by Xu Changqing himself, and this dissatisfaction quickly disappeared.
Instead, it was a compliment to Xu Changqing's heroic reputation.
…
Night gradually enveloped the heavens and the earth, and the warm sea breeze swept by.
Looking at the Qin army camp that was eating meat and laughing constantly, and then looking at the Liao camp where he could only barely drink some broth, but it was still full of endless hopes, Xu Changqing's heart also had some indescribable taste for a while.
But soon, Xu Changqing's eyes were firm!
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
The journey of deciding the fate of himself and the more than 2,000 Liao people is about to begin!
