Chapter 393: The Situation in Changsha

Lu Zhe began to be a little vigilant in his heart, the army is indeed a monster, it can expand its territory and influence national politics, but it is precisely that the army never looks at what will happen if it fights, it only wants to be able to fight, and relies on its military exploits to seal his wife and son.

It seems, it's just that Lu Zhe also has the problem of attaching importance to the military and suppressing Wenchen? If the military does something wrong, it will always be slack, and the magistrate will be punished for a while. He began to think about whether the military would develop the habit of arrogance if he indulged the military too much, and how to maintain the army while avoiding unacceptable consequences.

To tell the truth, what can you do if you don't rely on the army and don't treat the army favorably in troubled times? Every monarch treats the military well when he is in troubled times, so that the army can be used as a weapon in his hands, either for self-protection or to open up territory. At the end of the troubled times, the monarchs of the past dynasties did not give a bloody deterrent to those already arrogant generals...... Oh, the first emperor didn't kill the heroes, Li Shimin didn't kill the heroes, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't kill either.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhe's mind was a little confused, he felt that Li Shimin's high-ranking officials could learn from him, and it seemed that it was not bad for the first emperor to retire, and Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to release the military power with a glass of wine.

Of course, I don't know what will happen in the future, and Lu Zhe thinks that it is really unnecessary now.

sent Sima Xin away, and Lu Zhe brought Kuaitong, Xiao He, and Yan Bi again.

The Si clan and the Baiyue coalition army occupied Changsha County for less than two months, and the intelligence of the detailed spy was also a bit complicated, but one thing Lu Zhe knew very well was that he could not let the Si clan and Baiyue gain a firm foothold in Changsha County.

Before the Great War, when Wu Rui was the lord of Changsha County, Changsha County had nearly one million registered people, and even after half a year of war, it was estimated that it would not be less than 800,000. Under Wu Rui's rule, the head of Changsha County is actually doing well, otherwise Wu Rui would not be loved by Changsha people.

When Changsha County fell, the number of people in the county was reduced to less than 500,000. During this period, the population lost was basically the people who supported Wu Rui's battle, that is, the loss of nearly 300,000 people in Wu Rui's hands.

How high the degree of support is, how big the loss of Changsha County is, and the spies sent by Lu Zhe don't need to check more, they can understand what the situation is when they go to the countryside. The young and strong people in Changsha County are almost no longer 15 to 45 years old because they follow Wu Rui, and the countryside is basically maintained by women and children and the old and weak, and it is difficult to see men in the prime of life.

The four clans colluded with Baiyue, Wu Rui was defeated and lost land, in fact, the four clans did not get much land, and most of the land in Changsha County became the spoils of the Baiyue people.

A large number of Baiyue people moved into Changsha County. The miserable life of the natives of Changsha began. The so-called barbarians are not contemptuous in many cases, but their behavior is full of barbarism, how do the Baiyue people treat the Changsha people who are almost no longer young and strong? Rob? What is the robbery, which piece of defeated land will not be robbed. But the Baiyue people are not robbing goods, but crazy general captivity of the population, if the captivity of the past to become a slave is nothing, the horror is that some Baiyue tribes actually have a habit of cannibalism.

If you want to say that the people's grievances are boiling, Changsha County is really boiling with people's grievances, and almost all those who can move are trying to escape by all means. And because LΓΌ Zhe's territory borders Changsha County on three sides, Changsha people can only flee under LΓΌ Zhe's rule.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ In less than a month, the border garrison counted that nearly 100,000 Chinese had fled into our land because of the ferocity of the barbarians. As time goes by, there will be more Changsha people entering our land. Xiao He had no way to say the exact number, maybe just as they were talking, there were Changsha people crossing the border.

Lu Zhe groaned. said: "Those who enter the territory must be treated equally. ”

These are all things that Xiao He has been doing, but because Lu Zhe has adopted work for relief. To tell the truth, the fugitives were so weak that they couldn't do it, and because they were basically old and weak, women and children were working, it was really difficult to arrange jobs.

"Huh? Unable to work? Lu Zhe was slightly stunned.

Xiao He nodded and replied: "Can you act cheaply, lend rice and grain in the form of a loan, and wait until you have a little better to pay off your debts?" ”

"Yes!" Lu Zhe replied decisively, and couldn't help but praise Xiao He for being able to adapt in this way without destroying the big arrangement of cash-for-work.

Xiao He also reported some things about road construction and civil infrastructure, and Lu Zhe also gave comments and construction one by one, basically nothing major happened from the whole framework, and Wei Guangzheng's words were called a qiΔ“ towards building a better life in an orderly manner.

"In just one year, the farmland reclamation in the five counties will begin to take shape. If there were three years, the Lord's land would be ruled greatly. To put it mildly, if you propose a plan for one-year planning and three-year construction, you only need to follow the plan when you have a goal. Xiao He smiled easily, there is really no need to waste too much effort on planned development.

Lu Zhe is relatively calm, and plans to build it for a few years, to be honest, it was there during the Shang Dynasty, and there is nothing to be proud of. And it seems that the planned work in the Qin State has long been a law, only the nations will think of what to do, the result is a hammer in the east and a hammer in the west, and the result is that the hammer is uneven everywhere.

Yan Bi has been looking at Xiao He from the corner of his eye, he has never looked at Xiao He well, but he also has to admire Xiao He for really doing the government affairs entrusted by his own master after becoming the head of civil affairs.

The people who have successively served as the chief of civil affairs include Yan Bi, the second is Yan Bi, and Xiao He is the current one.

When Yan Bi was the head of civil affairs, Lu Zhe only had one county at that time, and as a result, Yan Bi, who used to be a county official, was familiar with civil affairs, but it was really not good to be the helmsman...... A lot of times, it's more and more chaotic.

What about this soldier's background? To be honest, it's a little better than Yan Bi, but it's a little ...... when he was the head of civil affairs Funny! The duties of the chief of civil affairs should be comprehensive, but Mian Bi likes to control commerce, only in the few months since he became the chief of civil affairs, the business under Lu Zhe has developed very rapidly, but in agriculture...... To be honest, it's really inaction, that is, I haven't even managed it.

Xiao He's appearance was Lu Zhe sent people to travel thousands of miles from Pei County, Surabaya County, Lu Zhe didn't want Xiao He to take the lead too quickly, according to the original plan, let Xiao He as an auxiliary official first familiarize himself with government affairs, give some time to make some friends and have some of his own connections, but the plan is obviously not able to catch up with the changes, and he found Lu Zhe on his own and said that he was not the material to be the head of civil affairs, and what he liked was business.

Lu Zhe pushed it several times before he knew that he was not playing tricks, but that he found that Xiao He was very methodical in dealing with civil affairs, and he really liked to manage business. Lu Zhe refused several times in a row to let Mian Pyo hang the position of the head of civil affairs to do business, and the person who actually managed civil affairs was Xiao He, although he was still a little anxious after a month of transition, but Lu Zhe simply let Mian Pyo take charge of business as he wished, and Xiao He became the head of civil affairs.

Yan Bi and Xiao He have no enmity, and he is not jealous because of Xiao He's rapid ascension, it is purely a sense of crisis because he can't see who can get Lu Zhe's trust so quickly, so whether it is Xiao He or who, whoever Lu Zhe is closer to, he will see who he feels annoyed.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Why are you stunned, ask you! Lu Zhe has already called Yan Bi three times.

"Huh? Yes! Yan Bi looked like he had just come back to his senses, and asked in a daze, "...... you just said?"

"The distribution of enemy forces in Changsha County, and whether the relationship between the four clans and Baiyue is as friendly as when they attacked Wu Rui." Lu Zhe's tone was a little unkind.

"The minister is guilty." Yan Bi can call himself a minister, and this minister is a retainer not a courtier. He had already had a case, and immediately replied: "The troops of the four clans have lost a lot after the battle with Wu Rui, and the current situation is that the Lian clan has a radius of more than 200 miles from Lingling, and most of its 50,000 clan soldiers are also in their station; The Huang clan occupied more than 100 miles around Jiuning Mountain, and 20,000 soldiers built villages in the mountains; The Yang clan is entrenched within a radius of dozens of miles from Ningshui, and its family soldiers control the surrounding areas of Wuling, and the 10,000 clan soldiers are relatively scattered; After the defeat of Wu Rui's army, the Beng clan was more miserable, 20,000 clan soldiers were taken away by the Song Dynasty, and their family territory was also divided by Baiyue. ”

To put it more clearly, after Wu Rui is finished, the four clans are obviously not monolithic with Baiyue, otherwise the four clans would not have shrunk in the territory without one clan and three clans. After beating Wu Rui away, the territory of the four clans has not increased, which is equivalent to not getting benefits, and Yihu Song actually openly swallowed the Yong clan, you can imagine what kind of mood the remaining three clans should be.

"Baiyue people, to be honest, the Lord, Baiyue soldiers can't be called soldiers, when their tribal leaders shout, they gather to be soldiers, and they usually find a place to nest, but there are two armies on a large scale, one is 50,000 people led by Yihu Song in the Linxiang area, doing things to arrest the Chinese; The other is the Minyue army, numbering 60,000, these Minyue people are relying on the water to operate, Xiangshui and Leishui seem to be divided into Minyue's activity area, they are also arresting the Chinese, but more are building villages by the water. ”

Lu Zhe raised his hand to ask Yan Bi to pause, he needed to digest those words in his mind.

In other words, Changsha County has now become a playground for Baiyue people, playing the game of being a cheap Chinese, and occasionally eating personal flesh while capturing the Chinese for fun?

An inexplicable anger rose from his chest, and when Lu Zhe opened his eyes again, his face became hideous, and he knew that there was a difference between Baiyue, that is, the "cooked" Baiyue and the "raw" Baiyue. The ripe Baiyue wants land and slaves, and the raw Baiyue wants water and two-legged sheep. However, the cooked and raw ones are Baiyue, and he also believes that the dead Baiyue people are good Baiyue people.

Lu Zhe rarely showed a hideous expression, but usually when he showed this expression, it meant that there was going to be a bloody storm. (To be continued......)
