381 Plague Floods 1
After Lu Ning and his party arrived at the Wankou Port Pier safely, Lu Ning asked Da, Xiao Qiao, Huang Yueying, Huang Chengyan and others to rest on the warship, while Lu Ning took Dian Wei, Ling Cao, Zhou Yu and the "Night Eye" guards to rush towards Wancheng. After arriving at the old man Lu Kang's mansion, Lu Ning asked Dian Wei to inform Mr. Qiao Xuan to pack up quickly and set off early tomorrow morning.
After Lu Kang saw Lu Ning, he immediately said to Lu Ning: "Ziyi, you are finally back. What are you thinking? I am waiting for your reply every day."
Lu Xun, when Lu Ji heard that Lu Ning came back, he ran out to meet Lu Ning, so Lu Ning had to say to Lu Xun first: "Xun'er, go and ask your mother to pack up your things quickly. We will set off early tomorrow morning; in addition, you should ask someone to pack up your things with Mr. Lu as well. As for what you said about asking me to take over Lujiang, I have seriously considered it for a while and came up with a solution."
When Mr. Lu Kang heard that Lu Ning had come up with a solution, he was overjoyed and finally let go of his unresolved heart. "Ziyi, tell me quickly, what is the best solution?"
Seeing that the old man was so anxious, Lu Ning laughed loudly. Your old man is a decades old, why is he still so anxious? "Old man, I thought about it and still think that Lujiang should be managed by you, and you will still manage Lujiang according to your method; but I want you to rent the Ruxuwu place to me, and I will build a wharf there, and station about 10,000 soldiers. In this case, what danger is there in Lujiang?
At that time, my army stationed in Ruxuwu can directly reinforce your Wancheng. In this way, I guess no one will dare to attack you in the short term. If you want to fight, then he must consider my army stationed at Ruxuwu Wharf. With Ruxuwu Wharf, if the situation is critical, I can also increase my troops to Ruxuwu Wharf. In this way, our army will also have a naval base in the south, and your Lujiang security problem will be solved."
Lu Ning's words made Zhou Yu next to him depressed. Zi Yi finally did not give up Jiangnan completely. So why didn't he accept the six counties of Jiangdong? The war in the north was basically over. He could draw enough troops to come to the south. And he just inserted a nail in the south. What are his concerns? Or did he not know his strategic decision at all. Zhou Yu shook his head and did not speak.
After hearing this, Mr. Lu Kang thought for a long time and finally came up with a sentence. "Ziyi, what should I do in Lujiang do? Who will take over? Otherwise, you can lend me one of your generals and ask him to help me train soldiers, lead troops to fight, etc."
After hearing this, Lu Ning shook his head and said in a very firm tone: "Mr. Lu, this is impossible. I will never do such a thing. Besides, what benefits can you give them to you? Can you make them famous all over the world or to promote their official positions? You are just a small prefect, how can you promote their official positions? And they are different from me. I can let them lead troops to fight on the battlefield, make military achievements, make them famous, make them famous all over the world, and also get them to their official positions, and also bring them huge material income. Can you do these?"
After hearing this, Mr. Lu shook his head. He really couldn't do it. "Ziyi, all the soldiers in Lujiang are under your command. As for the soldiers' expenses, I will pay for them. You can see that this is OK."
Your old man is still thinking about it. "Old man, if you follow the requirements of our soldiers, you can choose at most a thousand qualified ones; and once I send a general to take over your military power, you will not be able to command them. They will only obey my orders. You have to think about it."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu next to him felt so angry that he had nowhere to go. He paid to help others raise soldiers and let them lead them. His righteous brother was worried about thousands of soldiers and was about to exchange them with Yuan Shu. What was this? Why did these people trust Ziyi so much?
After hearing Lu Ning's words, Mr. Lu said immediately, "Just do what you said, I will give you all the soldiers under me. You can do whatever you want. I will pay the soldiers' expenses, but my Lujiang's safety must be the responsibility of your Ziyi." Zhou Yu almost fainted when he saw Lu Kang agreeing so readily.
What a stubborn old man, Lu Ning shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, General Ling, you will immediately take over all the soldiers in Lujiang, reorganize and carry out intensive training according to our army's requirements, and must meet our army's requirements in the shortest time. The number of soldiers is 5,000, and those who are not reorganized will be recruited again. As for your wife and children? You decide for yourself whether to let them live in Bingzhou or stay with you; but you cannot lead troops here for a long time, and our generals adopt a rotation system; Besides, if your child goes to Bingzhou, you can go to a military school, which will be beneficial to his development."
Ling Cao didn't think about it and immediately said, "Lord, please help me bring them all to Bingzhou and place them. This place is not peaceful. They will only affect my work here, and the conditions here are better than Jinyang City."
Lu Ning smiled and said, "General Ling, don't worry, I will settle your family well. I will treat your son like I take care of his own son. You will work here for a while. Of course, it won't take long, and I will send someone to bring the army here."
Ling Cao said to Lu Ning: "Thank you lord."
Lu Ning turned to Lu Kang and said, "Old man, I am now your bodyguard and your nanny. I want to stop you from having anything to cause trouble for me, right?"
Mr. Lu Kang smiled and said, "No more Ziyi."
Lu Ning continued his words and said, "You are gone, so I have something to tell you. Now that the plague is discovered in the south, a large number of people have died in Changsha, and an epidemic has also been found in Xiangyang City. However, officials from all over the country don't care about it, and no measures have been taken to prevent the spread of the plague. I guess there will be plagues in the whole south in a few days. What good measures are your Lujiang ready to take to prevent the plague? This is a big deal. You can't be careless."
When Mr. Lu heard this, he looked worried and was indeed a good official who loved the people. "Ziyi, then I will arrange for people to buy medicinal materials immediately and organize the doctor to prepare for preventing and treating diseases."
After hearing this, Lu Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Old man, this is enough. You should close the pass immediately. All personnel entering your jurisdiction must be isolated for about seven or eight days. Observe whether they have an epidemic. If there is any, then treat them immediately. If there is no one, they can enter the pass. Of course, the cost during the quarantine period must be paid by your prefect's mansion. In this case, the epidemic will be controlled to the minimum range. Of course, the prevention potion must be organized for the people to take. After all, the situation is too serious this time. In this case, the soldiers under General Ling will cooperate with your work."
