Xiangyang City, early August.

In the hot weather, the office in the front yard of the Taishou Mansion is always supplied with ice.

On August 14, before dawn, the front was already lively.

A dozen servants cautiously carried large basins of ice and walked towards a heavily guarded hall.

It was originally a meeting hall, after Wang Hongyi temporarily lived here, for the sake of convenience, the hall was rebuilt into a large hall, which was nothing more than the original hall as the basis and expanded to the surrounding areas.

There is a high seat on the hall, there are nine steps below, and then below is the standing position of civil and military officials.

At this time, because Wang Hongyi had decided to move the Inner Palace and the Six Divisions here, saying that Wang Dadian was secretly preparing again, the officials of the Secret Book Pavilion had already moved to Xiangyang City with the military team.

According to the habit of the past, Wang Hongyi began to discuss the Chase meeting once a day and ask everyone about things.

Listening to the important affairs of the civil and military officials, there is no free day.

When the first morning light burst out from the horizon, the sky began to brighten up all day.

The streets were still somewhat dark, except for the inner city, which was brightly lit.

A large area has been designated as the scope of the inner city expansion, and the original residents have long since moved away, where artisans are working overnight.

After half a pillar of incense, horse-drawn carriages began to come from afar, one after the other, into the inner city.

Outside the main hall, there were groups of three or five, whispering and whispering.

Wang Hongyi's treatment of the officials under his account is very generous, and at the same time, his requirements are also higher.

Until the civil and military officials almost arrived, a burst of music came, and Wang Hongyi's public opinion had arrived, supported by the attendants.

Chengyu was gently put down in front of the steps, and the attendant stepped forward to support him, and Wang Hongyi, who was dressed in a crown dress and a crown on his head, calmly got down from Chengyu, and walked up the steps accompanied by this attendant.

After he went up, hundreds of civil and military officials poured into the main hall.

At this time, the sun rose, and the brilliant morning light had shone directly through the outside of the hall, and although the whole hall was simply arranged, it looked golden and brilliant at this moment.

The hot summer was unbearable, but it was still a little cool, and the rows of guards in front of the main hall were already lined up.

The civil and military officials are arranged on both sides according to their status, and their expressions are solemn.

There were hundreds of people in the entire hall, but there was no sound.

Wang Hongyi stepped up the stone steps, and after sitting on the main seat, a group of civil and military worshippers fell to the ground, shouting in their mouths: "Meet the Guogong!",

Wang Hongyi raised his hand slightly, and said to the civil and military attachés below: "The Qing's family is flat." ”

"Xie Guogong. The civil and military attachés got up and still stood up.

Wang Hongyi sat in the upper position, dressed in a crown robe, and his eyes swept down.

"The minister has a book to play. A civil official came out of the queue at this time, bowed his hand upward, and spoke.

Wang Hongyi looked at it, and the person who spoke was Cheng Xiang, the deputy director of the Ministry of Engineering, who was busy with his anxiety because of supervising internal and external affairs, and was sick in bed for the past two days, and now the deputy director is in charge of things.

Seeing that it was him who came out of the ranks, Wang Hongyi said gently: "Cheng Qing, please speak!"

"No. Cheng Xiang saluted and said clearly.

According to the drawings, the reconstruction of the inner city this time took the original site as a point, extended outward for a mile, and near the inner city, built the mansion of the official and the general officer, in order to facilitate the meeting, these are not large-scale, but they involve a lot of dwellings. ”

In fact, according to Wang Hongyi's thoughts, it will not be Xiangyang, but a temporary residence for one or two years, and there is no need to be too prosperous.

However, the requirements of the office and the court meeting alone made this renovation necessary.

"When it comes to the relocation of the original residents, the Ministry of Industry can buy it at the market price. After thinking for a while, Wang Hongyi said directly, not wanting to encounter the problem of dismantling and relocating.

In this position, I realized that sometimes planning and residential rushes are unavoidable, but the expansion of the inner city is very important, and some locations are not suitable for residential buildings.

"Yes!", Cheng Xiang got the answer he wanted, and said: "The second thing is the matter of each shipyard, according to the instructions, now twenty-one shipyards are starting construction at the same time, and the third batch of warships has been prepared, does the lord still need to carry out the fourth batch?"

"No need, I'll see after a while. Wang Hongyi thought about it, said, and asked Cheng Xiang to retreat to the queue of officials.

"Who else has something to do?" Wang Hongyi continued to ask.

Several officials came out one after another to report things to Wang Hongyi, and Wang Hongyi responded one by one.

"The minister has his own book. After another official stepped back, Zhang Youzhi took a few steps out from the front of the civil service, arched his hands up, and said.

"Please speak. Wang Hongyi sat on the top seat and said warmly.

"No!", Zhang Yuzhi paused a little and reported to the authorities: "The minister's performance is about the transfer of several officials......

provided Wang Hongyi with the names of these officials who had previously worked in the Secret Library, and told about the performance of these people during their tenure.

Jing is the person in charge of the secret library, and he regularly makes it clear to Wang Hongyi that the officials who should be relocated, which is what he does.

"These officials and officials will be moved to the county to serve according to the system, please ask for the grace of the lord!"

Wang Hongyi listened carefully, and it was roughly the same as what he had seen in the case file submitted by the Thirteenth Division [this text is provided by Baidu Qihang Update Group Feng Junzixian], so he nodded: "Accurate!"

Zhang Youzhi then stepped back.

However, Wang Hongyi's gaze swept over Zhang Youzhi and found that his face was solemn and he had something to say, but he didn't say it in the court, it should be a secret matter, right?

After a while, there was silence in the main hall, and no official was out to perform again.

So the morning meeting ended.

"Zhang Qing, you stay. Wang Hongyi said by name.

"No. Zhang Youzhi bowed his hand in the queue and bowed his head in response.

Zhang Youzhi, as the head of the civilian officials in the army, like Yu Liangbo, is Wang Hongyi's right-hand man, which is extraordinary.

If you want to discuss things with Wang Hongyi in private, who among the hundred officials dares to ask more?

Seeing that there was nothing to do with himself, the civil and military officials dispersed one after another.

All the officials in the hall had left, Wang Hongyi walked down slowly from the top of the steps, and asked, "Zhang Qing, do you have something to talk about?"

Zhang Youzhi lowered his head and said: "The minister really has something important, and he has to report it to the lord." ”

"You didn't talk about this matter in the palace just now, it's a matter of secrecy!" Wang Hongyi ordered the servants to go out to prepare for public opinion, and said to Zhang Youzhi: "Go to the study with Gu and say." ”

"Obey. Zhang Youzhi followed.

Entering the study, the attendant went to prepare tea, Wang Hongyi sat down, ordered Zhang Youzhi to sit down, Zhang Youzhi thanked him, and then sat down.

After a while, refreshments were served, and now there was no need to order, these people naturally immediately exited the study, there was no order, no one would trespass, and asked Zhang You: "What does Zhang Qing want to say?"

"The minister received the situation in Xiyi Prefecture through the Thirteen Divisions!" Zhang Youzhi straightened up his upper body solemnly and said: "Since the establishment of the Eight Banners System in Xiyi Prefecture, it has been some time, and up to now, very good results have been achieved. ”

"The situation in Xishu is becoming more and more stable. The minister received information from General Pingban last night, saying that the Six Banners had been established, and in addition to these Six Banners, most of the mountain tribes had been cleared. ”

"The Jingshan tribe is now the first banner, with outstanding achievements, in addition to handing over most of the booty, hunting and killing the wild tribes is innumerable, through their hands, the mountain tribes are different from the past, most of the wild tribes have fled into the mountains. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the information.

Wang Hongyi took it and watched it carefully, and after a while, he smiled and said: "Ding Huchen has done a very good job in this matter, Xiyizhou has settled down, solved the rebellion of the mountain tribes, and there are no more internal troubles in Shudi......

"The 300,000 mountain tribes, in addition to the 40,000 people in the Six Banners, have been cleared and encircled and killed 100,000, that is to say, there are about half of the mountain tribes.

"It's just that these mountain tribes are scattered tribes, and most of them have fled into the mountains, although they should not be taken lightly, but the overall situation has been decided. ”

The Eight Banners system, used in this regard, is really Wang Hongyi's genius, and now it seems that the effect is excellent.

In the history of history, there is no very good way to deal with such wild tribes in the mountains, it is nothing more than entrapment and division.

In the history of the earth, during the Three Kingdoms, Shanyue was once a great disaster for the Wu Kingdom, and it took 30 years of poetry before and after Sun Wu to settle down.

Now this method only takes three years, which can be promoted.

"The siege of Xiyi Prefecture will continue, the first is to hunt in the deep mountains, and the second is to make up households for those who are willing to go down the mountain, but for now, this matter has to be temporarily suspended.

Handing the information back to Zhang Youzhi, Wang Hongyi stood up and walked around the study with his hands behind his back.

"Leave the newly entered three banners, continue to kill the wild tribes in the mountains, the main force of the mountain banner soldiers, must be dispatched, enter Jiaozhou, cooperate with our army, and attack Jingnan. ”

"On that day, eight banners were built in the mountains, and every three hundred people were one ox, every five oxen were recorded as one Jiala, and three Jiala were one flag, and there were 5,000 people. But this first banner, there are a lot of people, that is, 8,000 people, and they have also come out, and in terms of prestige, they have been pressing other small flags, which is very inappropriate. ”

"Sending the Three Banners to Jiaozhou can not only take Jiaozhou, echo with our army, attack Jingnan, but also consume the troops of the Three Banners, killing two birds with one stone. ”

After listening to Wang Hongyi's words, Zhang Youzhi agreed.

"The lord is wise, the mountain tribe was born warlike, at this time only a few years after the establishment of the flag, the time is still short, although most of the mountain tribe people are subservient to the lord, but they are wild and untamable, I am afraid that it is a group of wolves that are not ripe, it is better to put it on the battlefield, with its people to contain, to the Gaotong official Houlu descendants to lure the shadow, the mountain eight banners will become a sharp blade of our army. ”

For the mountain clan, Zhang Youzhi has always advocated killing, and later Wang Hongyi went out of Taiwan to establish the Eight Banners system, and Zhang Youzhi's side no longer continued to propose to exterminate the mountain clan.

At this time, Wang Hongyi's proposition was exactly what he wanted.

Seeing that Zhang Youzhi also agreed, Wang Hongyi immediately said: "Then I will draft an order, and order Ding Huchen to lead 5,000 from his headquarters and 7,000 from the three banners, a total of 12,000, to go deep into the trail and attack Jiaozhou, and then Jiaozhou will attack Jingnan from the south...... Zhang Qingjia, you can draft the decree now, this matter, the sooner the better. ”

"No!"

"Also, let Zhong Tongwendao accompany him as the head of internal affairs. Wang Hongyi thought about it and added.
