"Don't say that!" Luo Xin said with a smile: "Anyway, he didn't take advantage of anything. It has nothing to do with you. However, the fact that my eldest brother was able to help me made it a lot easier. ”

"When are you going to leave Suzhou and go to Jiangxi?"

"How could the eldest brother think that he was completely going to leave Suzhou, and he must be going to Jiangxi, not Guangdong?"

He Xin squinted at Luo Xin and said, "What? Is this my assessment? As long as you are not a fool know. ”

"Okay, I won't ask, so you don't think I'm a fool too." Luo Xin smiled bitterly: "However, I still can't leave Suzhou and go to Jiangxi for the time being." ”

"Why?" He Xinyin frowned and said, "Don't you know that now the army needs you, the god of the Ming army, to stabilize the army's heart?"

Don't look at the fact that the army can still stabilize now, but the morale has declined seriously, if it goes on like this again, the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan will continue to harass, and the army will definitely be defeated. At that time, it was certain that you and Hu Zongxian would be dismissed, and maybe it would be difficult to even protect the head of Xiang Shang. ”

"It's not peaceful here!"

Luo Xin sighed, he is very trustworthy in He Xinyin's character, but people are called chivalrous, so what does it mean?

That shows that people have a chivalrous heart.

So he told the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's secret son that they were preparing to make trouble in the south, and told He Xinyin that the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's people in other places were under his control, and only Hangzhou had no trace of it. Then, he told He Xinyin about his arrangements, He Xinyin thought for a while, and said:

"No, you can arrange it. Gathering the Shilin people in one inn and the merchants of the vassal kingdom in the guild hall for protection, these two groups of people will not have any problems without problems. As for the ordinary places in Hangzhou, it is enough to have the protection of the government. Presumably, Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect were not interested in them either. ”

"Not bad! Moreover, the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan still want to develop, this south is their foundation, and they can't make their reputation stink, so it is not very likely that they will harm the people. The problem now is that it is not known when they will be launched. ”

"I think they're coming." He Xinyin said with a deep groan.

"Huh?"

Luo Xinleng paused, and then reacted. Now that Hu Zongxian is in a coma, at this time, if something happens to the entire southern state capital, he Luoxin and Hu Zongxian should also have an accident, and Emperor Jiajing is furious, and the two of them can at least be dismissed first.

Therefore, when the news of Hu Zong's military police defeat and coma spread, it was time for those White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan's people to launch. Naturally, the news they got was not as fast as the news that was sent to Luo Xin urgently by eight hundred miles, but they should also get the news now. Luo Xin's expression couldn't help but change slightly, and he stood up and said:

"Brother He, you sit down for a while."

He Xinyin knew what Luo Xin was doing, so he nodded and sat there. Luo Xin came back quickly, and at the same time ordered his subordinates to go to the restaurant to book a table of banquets, and soon relaxed, Luo Xin and He Xinyin talked while eating.

"Brother He, you said that after I went to Jiangxi, how would I suppress the bandits?" Luo Xin has experienced many battles, but they are all the kind on the plains, and this kind of war in the mountains and forests has really not been experienced.

He Xinyin seemed to have already thought of a countermeasure, drank a glass of wine and said: "The war in the mountains and forests is different from the plains. ”

"I want to hear about it." Luo Xin looked at He Xinyin with a serious expression.

"Actually, Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect are not the only ones in the mountains and forests, they are only a few."

"You say it's a mountain people?"

Luo Xin looked at He Xinyin and said, Luo Xin had also stayed in Hangzhou for a few years, and had inspected the entire south, so he still had some understanding of the south. There are many mountain people in the south, and these mountain people are a headache for the imperial court. These mountain people live in the mountains and forests, and they do not obey the control of the imperial court at all, and when they can survive, that is, when they have a good harvest, they will take animal meat and hides to the bottom of the mountain to exchange for food and various daily necessities. When they can't fight enough beasts, they go down the mountain to rob together.

The imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress it many times, but the problem encountered was the same as that of Hu Zongxian, those mountain people were familiar with the deep mountains and old forests, and once the imperial court's army entered the deep mountains and old forests, they were not the opponents of those mountain people, and they were disgraced every time. The imperial court also recruited them many times, but the effect was very bad, those mountain people surrendered, and then surrendered, and then surrendered, so that the imperial court suffered huge losses.

"Not bad!" He Xinyin nodded and said: "In the mountains and forests, the real strength is those mountain people, if you use an analogy, the mountain people are water, and Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect are just fish that rely on water. Therefore, if you want to truly exterminate the White Lotus Sect and Zhang Daoyuan, you must first control the water. Pull these mountain people to the side of the court first. If the mountain people were on the side of the imperial court, Zhang Daoyuan and the White Lotus Sect would lose their foothold. ”

Luo Xin was silent, when he was in Hangzhou, he also studied these mountain people and the imperial court's policy towards mountain people. To be fair, it should be divided into two aspects.

In the case of the imperial court's extermination of the mountain people, surrender is the only way. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty has recruited mountain people many times, but in the end they all failed.

Da Ming went to two extremes.

One is that the mountain people are treated very badly, which makes the mountain people resentful, and eventually leads them to return to the mountains and forests. As long as there is a conflict between the Han and the mountain people, the government will definitely judge that it is the fault of the Han people, for fear that the mountain people will rebel and return to the mountains and forests, which will affect their political performance and be dismissed by the imperial court. However, the final result was that the mountain people were desperate to fill it, and finally caused a great chaos, burned, killed and looted, and ran back to the mountains and forests.

"We should recruit those mountain people first, as long as the mountain people are pacified, those thieves will be like fish without water, it is not difficult to catch and kill."

Luo Xin looked at He Xinyin's determined expression, but sighed and said, "It's too slow!" ”

He Xinyin nodded and said, "This must be a slow effort, I can't remember." The thieves and the mountain people are all the people under the Gun Mountain, and most importantly, they all have a common enemy, that is, the imperial court. So it's easy for them to collude together.

However, there is still an essential difference between the mountain people and Zhang Daoyuan, take the imperial court as an example, but they will surrender the mountain people, but they will definitely not surrender Zhang Daoyuan.

Therefore, the rebels and the mountain people are only allied because of a common enemy, and there must be contradictions between the two sides. The main medicine of the mountain people's daily life depends on two aspects, one is hunting, and the other is planting. It should not be surprising that they also look for suitable valleys in the mountains to cultivate, and have gradually become the main source of food for the mountain people.
