Chapter 020: Suppressing Bandits All the Way
@@@
Qin Mu incorporated the homeless people, Meng Ke just watched coldly and did not interfere, while Huo Sheng and the others even regarded it as a joke. In their opinion, Qin Mu is teaching skills and training, just like a child playing house.
Practicing like Qin Mu is all a bit of a show, at least that's what they think.
Qin Mu didn't care what they thought, in fact, he began to practice mainly physical fitness, as well as teamwork ability, and adopted some training methods in the later army, such as a hundred people marching with sandbags tied every day, or two people marching with a piece of wood or something.
Huo Sheng and the others probably hadn't seen it, and they thought it was normal for him to be a showman. Qin Mu didn't deliberately try to win them over, others now even look down on you, why do you want to win them over?
This way passed, Huo Sheng and the others watched comfortably every day, Qin Mu and the hundred people were so tired that they wanted to live and die, Qin Mu, a scholar, actually ate and practiced with those hundred people, and gritted his teeth and persevered, with his physique, he had to pay more perseverance than those hundred strong men.
This alone made Huo Sheng, Cui Feng and others unconsciously put away their contempt for him, as the so-called aspiration can do it, and people with such perseverance are worthy of respect.
When he was about to arrive in Nanchang, the news came from the north that Zhang Xianzhong had broken through Huangzhou and Macheng, and recruited tens of thousands of horses in Macheng, which was very strong.
Meng Ke and Huo Sheng's gaze at Qin Mu changed suddenly, looking at him like a monster.
Is all this just a coincidence?
Or was Qin Mu secretly colluding with Zhang Xianzhong and getting Zhang Xianzhong's march route in advance?
Or can Qin Mu really predict the prophet?
No matter what, Qin Mu invisibly gave people a sense of unfathomability.
Qin Mu just thought that nothing had happened, and went straight to the various yamen in Nanchang to meet Shangguan.
The local structure of the Ming Dynasty was somewhat complicated, nominally the political department, the capital command department, and the judicial department were the highest power organs in a province, one was in charge of the government, one was in charge of the army, and the other was in charge of the judiciary, and the three were not subordinate to each other and contained each other, which could effectively prevent local officials from having too much power and threatening the rule of the central government.
However, after entering the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the rule of local officials gradually deteriorated, and there were many civil unrest, and the local structure of this separation of powers was highlighted due to the different powers of the matter, and the problem of passing the buck to each other was highlighted.
As the class contradictions became more and more acute in the middle and later periods, and there were more and more things, some governors sent out for several years but failed to finish the matter, for example, Wang Yangming patrolled Jiangxi for ten years. Gradually, the Fu Patrol became the central organ stationed in the local area, and he directly set up the original political department, and commanded the department and the judge.
However, the governor's power was too great to be checked and balanced, and the chief soldier and the inspector supervised the imperial envoy yamen to check and balance the governor. This creates significant rack overlap.
Qin Mu took the appointment document of the imperial court and turned around in Nanchang City, but fortunately, the chief officials of the various yamen knew that he was recommended by Han Zanzhou, although Qin Mu did not give gifts, and he did not embarrass him too much.
After getting a lot of yamen in Nanchang, the next thing is to rush to Ganzhou Mansion.
Huichang County is under the rule of Ganzhou Prefecture, and the Ganzhou Governor will be Qin Mu's top boss.
In Nanchang City, Qin Mu began to inquire about the personality of Yang Tinglin, the prefect of Ganzhou.
Yang Tinglin, the word Boxiang, Chongzhen four years jinshi. Its character is diligent and ancient, famous for Hanlin, serving as a lecturer and a direct feast, and Huang Daozhou, Ni Hongbao and the article is famous all over the world, called "Three Hanlin". He was appointed as the head of the Ministry of War, and Zan Lu Xiang was promoted to the army.
On December 11 of the 11th year of Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng troops were stationed in Jiazhuang in Julu, with only 5,000 remnants left, and they had been out of food for several days. Send Yang Tinglin to ask the eunuch Gao Qi to sneak in Jize. Gao Qi ignored it, and Lu Xiang mourned in the army.
Yang Tinglin heard that Lu Xiangsheng's entire army was annihilated on the road from Baoding to Zhending, and he cried loudly. At that time, Yang Sichang, the first assistant of the cabinet of the DPRK and China, was at odds with Yang Tinglin, thinking that Yang Tinglin was also dead, and hearing that Yang Tinglin happened to be an envoy outside, he hated it for a long time, and then degraded Jiangxi.
Yang Tinglin went to Jiangxi for several years, and was promoted to the prefect of Ganzhou because of his meritorious service in governing the locality.
It is not enough for such a person to play some fancy tricks to deal with it, and he must come up with some real talent. Otherwise, if you can't settle this top boss, some things will be very troublesome, and before you become a climate, I am afraid that you will be beaten into a traitor, and then Huichang will lose its meaning.
From Nanchang along the Ganshui road to the south, there is a gradual decrease in the number of refugees along the way, but there are more thieves who rob the road, which has a lot to do with the entire terrain of Jiangxi.
Jiangxi is named after the Jiangnan West Road set up by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Jiangxi Province is surrounded by mountains on three sides, east and west, and the central hills are undulating, becoming a huge basin inclined to Poyang Lake in the north as a whole.
The further south you go, the more mountainous there are, and the southern part is an excellent place for grassy falls, with undulating mountains but abundant products.
The strategic position of Jiangxi is needless to say, the south chokes the two Guangzhou, the east connects Fujian, the west connects Huguang, but because of the mountain barrier, it is difficult to form an encirclement on all sides, once after gaining a firm foothold in southern Jiangxi, a swoop to the north, after taking such an important town as Nanchang, you can go down the river to approach Wu Yue, then half of the south of the Yangtze River is in the bag.
It is not unreasonable for Mao Taizu to be a native of Hunan in later generations, but he went to Jiangxi to start a business. There is no doubt about his old man's strategic vision, and there are really not many people who can compare with him when looking at the past and present.
If the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression was commanded by his old man, and the Red Army would not have been forced to march long, after a few years of development, Taizu would probably have taken Nanjing directly, because from the topographical point of view, once Jiangxi is lost, Jiangdong will not be able to be protected.
Qin Mu went to Huichang, and the neighboring Ruijin, but the birthplace of the Soviet Provisional Central Government, was known as the red capital in later generations. Hehe, there is a song that seems to be sung like this: How does Mao "Taizu" say how the Wa people do it Follow Mao "Taizu" Hey follow the Communist Party, hey~
That's right, let's arm ourselves with Mao Taizu's strategic thinking and start from Jiangxi. Complete the strategic concept of Taizu and his old man who wanted to go straight down to the south half of the Jiangnan but failed to complete it.
Of course, Qin Mu also knows that the strategic concept is beautiful, but it also depends on who implements it, how well it is implemented, if you don't get it right, you will become a fly in a glass bottle, the future is bright, and there is no way out.
The first step, to suppress the bandits, there are a lot of grass robbers along the way, the grass robbers don't come to him for trouble, Qin Mu took the initiative to find the door, to train the troops in actual combat, whoever dies in battle is unlucky, such a troubled era, the most important thing is the source of soldiers, you don't see, Zhang Xianzhong ascended to the heights, and immediately recruited tens of thousands of horses, what is the difficulty of Qin Mu wanting to replenish one hundred and ten people?
Who doesn't want to die, then you have to practice weekdays, and cut desperately in wartime, Qin Mu just wants to use the method of survival of the fittest, and use blood to leach out an elite core liliang, which is very cruel, but this is the chaos of the world, and you can't be allowed to train slowly.
It won't be long before the Manchu Tartars will sweep the land of China, and Qin Mu doesn't want to be a slave on the ground, so he can only recommend Xuanyuan with blood!
Meng Ke and Huo Sheng saw that Qin Mu used such a cruel method to train his troops, and no one dared to laugh at him anymore.
On the contrary, there was a kind of heartfelt awe of his ruthlessness, and when he talked to him, his unruly tone was less, and he gradually used the honorific title of "Lord Qin".
When suppressing bandits, they no longer resisted the tasks assigned to them by Qin Mu, and their cooperation became more and more tacit.
From Nanchang to Ganzhou, Qin Mu walked relatively slowly along the way, but there was one point, and the bandits along the way were almost wiped out by him. has such an effect, firstly, his ruthlessness, regardless of casualties, and secondly, thanks to the assistance of Meng Ke's group of fierce men.
Before he reached Ji'an Mansion, the whole Jiangxi was shaken.
On the way to his post, a small magistrate wiped out the bandits along the way, which can be said to be something that has not been heard of for thousands of years;
The officials of the prefectures and counties along the way all looked sideways, and they didn't dare to slack off Qin Mu in the slightest, and they didn't dare to miss him in terms of food and shelter, including weapons and supplements. Even some state and county officials began to send him money to exterminate the bandits in their territory.
Qin Mu depends on the actual situation, if it is easy to clear out, go to the deep mountains and old forests, I'm sorry, let's talk about it later, Lao Tzu's territory is still occupied by bandits!
From Nanchang to Ji'an, Qin Mu walked for a whole month, and he tanned a lot, but because of the daily crawling, his body was much stronger than before, and his biceps had begun to appear, and his body's agility was greatly enhanced.
After passing Ji'an Mansion, Qin Mu suddenly sped up his trip.
Because he heard that the bandits in the Huichang area, under the leadership of the bandit leader Ma Yongzhen, half a month ago, hundreds of people plundered Jingshi, Qilushan, Hefeng, Luojiang and other towns. Jiangxi is shaking!
