Shi Yuan suddenly found that there were still a lot of things he had to face, and if he was out of Yangzhou City and was not in the city for a long time, people with ulterior motives would definitely make a situation once they realized it. So...... With the current situation of the three armies in Nanqing, this will undoubtedly be a very dangerous thing. If he cut off the grain and grass of the Beiqing army, he would lose Yangzhou City and make a wedding dress for others...... That's a big deal!

Thinking of Xia Lingcang, Shi Yuan suddenly felt ruthless in his heart: If Xia Lingcang and the others were eliminated now, this would undoubtedly be the most worry-free approach. But...... Shi Yuan finally sighed: Now is not the time!

No matter how aggressive his methods were a few days ago, the three armies of Nanqing had nearly 120,000 people, and they were ...... This figure is still the number counted five years ago when Nanqing first came to Jiangnan. According to the rearranged statistics, this number is a full 30,000 more!

This is mainly due to the part of the new army led by Liu Dabeard. Because Emperor Nanqing was bent on recovering the northern kingdom, he had carried out a wide range of recruitment over the years, so this led to the situation that Shuangqing fought for nearly five years, but the number of people did not decrease but increased.

Of course, the problems in the three armies are not only like this, as far as Shi Yuan knows: the three armies of Nanqing have not been paid military salaries for nearly two years! This is not due to corruption or other reasons, but because the imperial court has never paid this military salary at all! It may sound ridiculous, but that's exactly what happened!

Such a huge vacancy, does the emperor of Nanqing know? Want...... Should know. In the summer of last year, a large-scale flood broke out in the entire Jiangnan region, the crops were wiped out, the Li Shu was hungry, the people were scorched and plucked for food, and the corpses were scattered on the road like soil...... Although this once-in-a-century flood was concealed by officials at all levels, in Hangzhou City, Emperor Nanqing, who was sitting on half of the dragon chair, saw the weather in the entire south of the Yangtze River.

For 100 days in a row, the rain continued unstoppable, and after the flood receded, a widespread famine broke out, and the refugees were in droves! And this is also the main reason why Nanqing has not had any tax for nearly two years. And this is also the reason why although the three armies of Nanqing have not received military salaries for nearly two years, they are still willing to stay in the army!

Raise troops with the strength of the entire Jiangnan, no matter what, there is always something to eat when you are a soldier!

However, this situation began to change because of Shi Yuan's arrival. The main reason why the three armies of Nanqing were difficult to command before was because there were too many forces in them. And the reason for such a force, in the final analysis, is because: the previous Nanqing Three Armies were not like an army, but were rogues gathered together.

Among the people who come to join the army, there is a so-called "big brother" among every dozens of people. Such a big brother, although Shi Yuan has been eliminated a lot, but he can't get rid of it in the end! After the reorganization, although the overall appearance of the three armed forces has undergone tremendous changes, this stubborn disease that takes time to eradicate is still there!

The reason why Xia Lingcang can be suppressed now is that these unconvinced soldiers of the three armed forces can be suppressed. Mainly because Shi Yuan has a firearm regiment in his hand, and his methods are ruthless enough! In the entire prison of the Yangzhou prefect, there are nearly 500 generals of the Third Army! And that's not counting those who want to resist stubbornly and be killed on the spot!

Xia Lingcang...... It's not just one person, what he represents is the entire old Third Army before. The reason why he was kept at that time was only because he held the local army with the largest strength of the three armies in his hands, and he also thought that this old guy was the easiest person to control. But looking at it this way, it seems to have miscalculated...... Perhaps, this is also because he really controls the relationship between the power of the local army!

Violence is, of course, the best and fastest way to solve most things. But what are the things that are often faced after the use of violence...... But it's extremely troublesome.

"Brother Shi, do you want us to clean up this old thing overnight tonight?" After seeing that he mentioned Xia Lingcang, Shi Yuan didn't speak for a long time, and Qiao Cannon said in a cold voice, and as he spoke, he also made a gesture to wipe his neck!

Seeing this, Shi Yongyong was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a smile, "Brother Qiao, your anger...... It's a little too heavy, isn't it? Although Xia Lingcang has been a little restless recently, if he is cleaned up again, with our current control of the three armies, I am afraid that it will cause a mutiny! ”

"So what? It's a big deal, like before, clean up all the people who have opinions......" As soon as Shi Yuan finished speaking, Yue Fei, who had not spoken all this time, said in a cold voice. Obviously, he has not been getting along well in the barracks these days.

Hearing this, Shi Yuan glanced at the angry Qiao Cannon, and shook his head with a smile again, "Things are not as simple as you think!" We were able to put together these people in the three armies because we were fast enough that they didn't have time to react, and they didn't expect us to do so. And now...... After a few days of buffering, Xia Lingcang must have taken precautions. If you do it rashly...... Definitely not good for us! ”

"In that case, wouldn't it make that person surnamed Xia more and more arrogant?" Yue Fei asked a little angrily.

"Of course not, according to my plan, we will rearrange the three armies, and we will definitely slowly empty Xia Lingcang's rights. But if I leave Yangzhou City, I'm afraid that this old guy won't ......settle down," Shi Yuan explained.

"That'...... How good is that? Or, Brother Shi, you still stay in the city and let me go with Brother Yue, right? When Qiao Cannon heard Shi Yuan say this, he put forward his previous opinion again.

"No! I had to do it. But Shi Yuan didn't think about it, so he shook his head, "That's it!" Tomorrow you go and assign the personnel and find a safe hideout. I'll be here as soon as I've got the things in place in the city! ”

"I thought it would be extremely smooth, but I didn't expect it to be so troublesome." Shi Yuan muttered to himself a little depressed.

By the time Qiao Cannon and Yue Fei left, it had already darkened, but it was not time to sleep. Thinking of Baihua and Shen Wei, who went back to the room before, although they really wanted to go and see, but thinking of all the things they were facing, Shi Yuan finally chose to give up......

"It's so late and you're yelling, it's stupid! Senior sister is inside, you can just go in by yourself......" shouted for a long time, and after calling Liuli out, Liuli looked a little displeased.

"Go to the cell!"

"To the cell? Aren't you going in and looking for Senior Sister? ”

"Uh...... There are some urgent things to do! I'll wait until I get back. Faced with Liuli's questioning, Shi Yuan was a little embarrassed.
