Today's Xue family is not just a matter of Mu Xiu Yulin.

Even if the tree is far away from its peers and is about to be destroyed by strong winds, its root system is still strong and powerful. But now the Xue family is directly suspended in mid-air, and the pressure they are under can be said to come from all directions.

Xue Tao didn't think about reversing this situation, such as the simplest donation of family wealth and self-depreciation of township funds, which can also make his family's wealth no longer look so dazzling.

In fact, the villagers attacked his family because of the old customs of the chaos to support the township industry, which is not a wrongful accusation against his family. The Xue family is not a big family living in Hedong, and they moved out of Shuzhong to Hedong in the old years, which is not comparable to the Pei family, the Liu family and other prominent families who live here. And it is precisely because of this that the Xue family is now the representative of the Hedong countryside, which makes the villagers feel even more resentful.

coincided with the Yongjia Rebellion, the Xue family itself was a heroic inheritance, and in such a world, they had the opportunity to go against the current and become the leading powerful man in Hedong. is also attacking the two Zhaos, and each of them does not have much energy to pay attention to the Xue clan that is entrenched in Fenyin and is getting stronger and stronger.

Xue Tao wanted to donate his family funds to Xingtai, but as soon as this idea was moved, he was opposed by many clansmen. As a huge family, the Xue family is naturally also a branch of the house, and the clansmen who are the same age and age as Xue Tao are also Xue Zu and Xue Luo, and it is difficult for Xue Tao to decide what the clan affairs are.

Moreover, once the clan grows, the clansmen will naturally be muddy and sandy, ranging from good to bad, and not everyone may have Xue Tao's sense of distress. If it was just a dispute within the clan, it would not make Xue Tao dispel his thoughts, and the most annoying thing was that there were people in the clan who preached the name of Xingtai outside the country to be magnanimous and elegant, but in fact, they forced the Xue family to donate their family wealth!

After Xue Tao learned of this, he was so angry that he almost fainted, and strictly investigated the Xiaoxiao who spread such rumors in the clan, and the family law lynching almost beat people to death. But the rumors finally spread, and some of the township sects learned about it, so they were awe-inspiring and sent someone to beat Xue Tao to dispel this idea.

After all, the villagers in Hedong as a whole have benefited from Xingtai, the Xue family has benefited more, and the other villagers have not gained nothing. If Xue Tao donates his family wealth to invite the stage to rejoice, how will they deal with themselves? Not to mention that they don't have the level of profit and jealousy, even if they reach the situation of the Xue family, how many people can see it?

The Xue family has already become the target of public criticism now, if Xue Tao insists on doing something that disgusts the villagers, you can imagine what kind of situation he will face.

And it is obvious that General Shen has a whole set of ideas for the management of Hedong, and he rashly made such a move, if he interrupted the steps of the Xingtai, a good thing would become a bad thing.

If you can't donate it, then what about splitting it up and giving it to the villagers? Since they are envious and jealous of his family's wealth, and this wealth brings the Xue family a hidden danger that is too much, why don't they simply scatter the family wealth and give back to the countryside?

Xue Tao believed that if he dared to do this, regardless of whether the villagers were happy and grateful or not, Xingtai would ask him what he was going to do as soon as possible. He himself is the general of the Hedong Military Government, and he has many clansmen, and now he bribes the villagers with huge goods, if he says that he has no dissent, who will believe it?

The township assets and goods that could have brought people a sense of food, clothing and security, but now, in Xue Tao's view, they have become a pot full of coals that he has to hold in his arms and can't give it away if he wants to, which makes him anxious and restless.

Scattering wealth is self-obscure, and this road is temporarily impassable. Moreover, Hedong is now recovering rapidly, and General Shen should not be happy to see any major changes in the ownership of township capital, so as to disrupt the current rhythm of development. This can be guessed from the statement of the general when he passed through Hedong earlier.

As his son Xue Qiang said, the Xue family has to enjoy such a special grace from Xingtai, and it is a policy to be cowardly and invite the favor of the public, in order to alleviate the current situation of being riddled with material discussions, which will not only have no effect, but will be counterproductive, making the time flow even more contemptuous of his family.

Only by being loyal to the king, using his life to make merit, and getting the deeds that can match the honors and benefits enjoyed by his family as soon as possible, and showing the generals and the people of the world that their Xue family is indeed worthy of such a courtesy and reward, can it be regarded as the right way.

This truth, how could Xue Tao not understand, but where there is meritorious service, but it can't be done just by being lonely and brave, full of earnestness, in addition to his own courage and sincerity, there is also a good time, a good opportunity, taking advantage of the situation and other cooperation. The world is difficult, and it is far from being as simple as opening your mouth and sitting on your words and deeds.

Xue Tao is now supervising the Hedong Military Mansion, and he also wants to make some deeds to repay General Shen for his kindness, such as a series of wars in Guanzhong, Longshang and even northern Shaanxi earlier, he also frequently asked for war, but Xingtai finally refused Xue Tao's invitation to fight because of the grass creation of the Hedong Military Mansion and the fact that Shili still needs to be domesticated, just let him repair the Hedong military with peace of mind, and there will be a time to fight.

Unable to get the opportunity to perform, Xue Tao was disappointed, but also had to admit that Xingtai's decision was indeed safe. Compared with several other royal divisions, there are still many deficiencies in the soldiers of the Hedong Military Government.

It's not that the Hedong sergeants are cowardly and dare not fight for merit, but compared with other war-hardened Wang Divisions, they lack the kind of indomitable spirit, the determination of the soldiers to use their lives, and the military prestige of orders and prohibitions.

The battle on the Western Front seems to be a triumphant song all the way, but if the Hedong sergeant is replaced, Xue Tao really can't guarantee that it will be so smooth. Even if he has the courage to sacrifice his life in every battle, war is not a one-man affair after all.

The embarrassment of his own situation also made Xue Tao a little constrained in the position of Hedong Governor, and many originally simple things became complicated.

Although there were no major twists and turns in the establishment of the Hedong Military Government, small disputes continued. The Xue family is the gateway of the martial sect with the largest power and the most tribes in the Hedong realm, and Xue Tao was appointed by Xingtai as the supervising general, which inevitably made the villagers hesitate.

Because the east of the river is located in a key chong, there are very few people scattered in the suburbs after a long period of military disasters in the old years. If the military government wants to be established, the source of soldiers mainly comes from the private troops of each hometown.

But the townsmen are all looking at what the Xue family is doing, if the Xue family is too little into the compilation of the series, they naturally do not want to contribute more manpower, if the Xue family is incorporated into the orchestra too much, they have to feel that the Xue family is taking advantage of the situation and relying on their own family power, suppressing their existence in the military government, and annexing their subordinates.

Therefore, at the very beginning, the establishment of the Hedong military government was simply chaotic, and at most more than a dozen military offices were crowded in the narrow boundary of Hedong. Later, after Xue Tao's efforts to persuade in many ways, the number of military governments was reduced to eight at present, and gradually reached a unified system, with each military government leading between six or seven thousand households, and more than two to three thousand soldiers.

The soldiers of the military government did not belong to the soldiers of the first sequence of the king's division, and they were both cultivators and soldiers, and only when the regular combat strength was insufficient in large-scale battles, or the war took place within the territory, an order would be issued for requisition.

However, the military government is fully armed, and the requirements for maintaining the combat effectiveness of the soldiers are much higher than those of ordinary county soldiers and village warriors, so except for the special season when the farmers are busy with farming and harvesting, they have to be camped and practiced for almost half of the year.

Xue Tao was highly regarded by Xingtai, and he was also quite proud of their Hedong athletes' heroic skills, and was not satisfied with only being a second sequence of combat power, and also hoped to be able to train a strong team in Hedong to repay General Shen's kindness, so the requirements in this regard were naturally stricter.

Although the soldiers of the military government come from various families, the main body is still the Xue family's own family members, so Xue Tao's prestige in the military government is enough, and the villagers may have complaints and complaints, but they do not dare to directly provoke his majesty.

However, after the amount of training increases, the consumption of various equipment and military funds will naturally increase. As a standing military unit, the military government is different from the local county and county reclamation, and it is half self-sufficient in terms of resources, and half has to wait for the allocation of the higher level of the town.

The Hedong Governor is under the jurisdiction of Tongguan Town, and it has no combat mission, but the consumption has increased, which inevitably makes Tongguan have a little complaint. After all, there are still wars on all sides in Shaanxi, and Tongguan is also a backup base for the armies of Shaanxi, so it is impossible to focus on Hedong.

Every time he exchanged letters and talked about military matters, Xue Tao couldn't help but be worried, worried that he would be attacked by the times, and he was insatiable, and he himself benefited from the benevolence of Xingtai and township capital, but he still asked for funds and goods to support his own troops in the name of raising the army.

And he can't support the army with private wealth, after all, the Hedong Military Mansion is the army of the king division that the General's Mansion has given the order, and he supports it with his private wealth, what is the reason?

Seeing that Xue Qiang was not angry that he was instructed by himself to visit He Miao and Qu to send goods, Xue Tao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The reason why he wants to do this is actually too helpless. Really speaking, it is true that He Miao, the old Hu Cheng, is an old man in Xingtai, and their Xue family is also a rising star who is deeply appreciated and trusted by the general.

But he had to think more, for his current family, accumulating wealth is accumulating slander. Although he has full confidence, as long as he is ordered by the general, he must use his life and seize the opportunity to hunt for deeds. But if he has accumulated money and slander before this, his family may not even have a chance to compete for performance!

The general sincerely appreciates his family, but it does not mean that his family can be fearless. If he can't even cope with this kind of criticism and slander, and can't bear it, even if the general takes care of his feelings and gives cover, he will definitely be very disappointed in his family, and he will not make a greater appointment.

"You are not young anymore, in previous years, you had your own relatives to cover you, and you can also be beaten regardless of the world. But after that, you must have the courage to stand on your own, and you can't climb the vine under the fence under the courtyard door. There are many things that your father should have his own opinion, even if he doesn't say it. The world will not add your connivance alone, and rampage is indeed a lack of vigor, but looking ahead and thinking carefully is not necessarily a sign of cowardice. When the husband is angry, he draws his sword to kill, and the people who slaughter dogs can be brave, this kind of bravery is not worth marveling at. ”

When Xue Tao said this, his face also changed to a serious expression: "Whether you see it or not, the world is difficult and deep, and there is always a moment for you to touch and taste." Compared with the young and lonely brave, I am more happy to see you old and brave, and your original intention is not obscure. There is little courage in ignorance, there is prudence in the whole, and there is always the purity of observance, if you can get these three, my family or the wind and rain on the way, will not fall into your hands. ”

Xue Tao taught his son like this, not to justify his own backwards and difficulties, he had high hopes for this son, and originally planned to send him to Tianzhong to go back and forth with the pavilion.

However, as the name of the museum became more important, the more rigorous the collection of students became, and his family did lack much family learning, Xue Qiang never got in. Although he was a little disappointed in this, but the world is not only one end, maybe his son really does not have the endowment to enter the museum, but with him to teach personally, it may not be impossible to become a talent.

Hearing his father's words, Xue Qiang hurriedly bowed his head and was taught. Many truths, no matter how thoroughly they are explained, will only be empty talk if they have no experience, if they do not learn it, and if they do not learn it. It's not that the reason is unreasonable, but the conduct is unreasonable.

Father and son talked for a while, and then went back to rest. The next day, Chang'an sent a paper order to the governor's mansion outside Puban City, Xue Tao received this order, his shoulders trembled, the whole person became excited, and the gratitude to the general in his heart could not help but deepen, and he was able to plan him in his arms, and finally did not leave him in this anxious situation for too long.

After receiving the order, Xue Tao became full of energy, and immediately sent envoys to various military offices, and immediately summoned the generals of each military government to be on standby.

Xue Tao sat in the room by himself, put the general's order on the table, and looked at it many times, and he couldn't help but feel more in his heart. The general really took good care of them in Hedong Township, especially for their Xue family, no wonder Shi Liu was secretly jealous.

As the superintendent of the Hedong Military Mansion, he is also one of the senior generals under the General's Mansion, and he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the overall military composition and distribution of the Wang Division.

Saihu entered the Kou, used troops in northern Shaanxi, and mobilized their Hedong military officers to meet the attack, in fact, it was not a natural choice, it should be the general who realized his predicament, so he gave him a chance to fight.

Moreover, Saihu's strength is not too strong, and it is a very good training object for the Hedong soldiers who have not been trained in battle formations since they formed the army, and even if they do not win, it is unlikely that they will have the bad consequences of a big defeat and loss.

Along with the order, there is also a long military summary of the attached, the beginning is the outline of a general strategic goal setting, that is, as much as possible to annihilate the Saihu living forces, in addition to the various landscapes, geography, scenery, people and other information in northern Shaanxi, as for the specific march route, Xue Tao needs to weigh it himself, report it as soon as possible, and have his own departments and counties to respond along the way.

In addition to keeping in mind the detailed military information provided by the Hongwu Army, he also immediately sent people across the river to invite Xie Yi and Li Bing and other generals from Tongguan to come north, not only to ask for advice on the march, but also after the Hedong soldiers left the country, the defense of Hedong still needed Tongguan to take over, and the affairs that needed to be delivered also needed to be completed as soon as possible.
