Chapter 41 The new system starts from Dongjiang
Dongjiang Town is definitely going to be established, just this year, and at the latest it will only be two or three months later.
But the emperor obviously had doubts about who was in charge of Dongjiang Town. Mao Wenlong was the ready-made candidate, and Luo Sigong came to inspect. But not only Dongjiang, but also Denglai were among his inspections.
After decades of life in the imperial examination, Luo Sigong still has a vision of people and is better at analyzing and judging other people's tempers.
Historical records are not so reliable, and historical figures are not so simple. This is Zhu Youxiao's gradually clear understanding.
Mao Wenlong had mixed praises and criticisms. Those who praised him called him the Great Wall on the Sea, a hero against the Qing Dynasty, and a great trouble for the Later Jin Dynasty. Those who destroyed him called him illegal and disorderly discipline and conspired to rebel, and the crime was to be punished.
Zhu Youxiao believes that people are complex and not permanent. It is not surprising that people change according to changes in external conditions.
After Mao Wenlong was first established in Dongjiang Town, like most new officials, he naturally had to show himself and achieve his achievements.
However, in the lack of restrictions and the chaotic dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong gradually became domineering and arrogant, which was quite normal.
Instead of waiting until problems occur before making corrections, how to prevent them in advance and eliminate uncertainties in the bud?
Why did Mao Wenlong not be restricted? Why did everyone say different things in Dongjiang Town? Why did they have to wait until he was full before installing personnel, which would only attract his dissatisfaction and resistance?
After Mao Wenlong received the order, he ordered his deputy Chen Jisheng and the generals to go down and make preparations. He warmly welcomed Luo Sigong and his party.
Luo Sigong was calm and composed, but slowly arranged the emperor's instructions.
"These people were originally subordinates." Luo Sigong called several Jinyiwei and introduced to Mao Wenlong, "The leaders Yang Jie and Fang Dingbang are all good at spy reconnaissance, and they will obey orders in General Mao's tent in the future."
Luo Sigong waved his hand, and several Jinyiwei bowed to Mao Wenlong and said, "I am not good at ease to see the general."
Mao Wenlong was a little confused, and quickly raised his hand to help him, saying, "Don't give me any gifts." His face was complicated. I wonder what it means to stay by his side. Monitor and assist?
Luo Sigong smiled faintly and asked several Jinyiwei: "Tell me about General Mao, what are your responsibilities?"
Among the Jinyiwei, Yang Jie is the only one with a special image. He is slightly fat in middle age and always has a smile on his face. If you change your clothes, you will definitely regard him as the attentive boss of the inn and restaurant.
Yang Jie bowed his hand and smiled even more, saying, "There is the only one who is responsible for spying on military information and the other one is responsible for eliminating spies. The required personnel are also asked General Mao to send him to General Mao's military command. The only one who is subordinate to the military command of General Mao, how dare he interfere?"
Luo Sigong nodded and smiled at Mao Wenlong, "They are subordinates of General Mao, so how should General Mao be sent?"
That's it, but Mao Wenlong also knew that these people could not be sent to fight. The people who do intelligence have made it clear.
"I understand." Mao Wenlong bowed to Luo Sigong and said with a smile: "These brothers are smart and powerful. I can get this arm's help, so I can't ask for it."
Luo Sigong had a slight head and continued, "I also sent several heroes from the capital. Seeing that they were superb riding skills, the emperor asked them to come to General Mao to gallop and kill the enemy..." After saying that, he smiled a little evilly.
Mao Wenlong also looked weird after hearing this. He didn't expect that the emperor would punish the dandy in the capital like this. But knowing the family background of these dandy, he couldn't help but grin.
Zhang Zongbao of the Zhang family of the Marquis of Shouning, Zhao Huizu of the Zhao family of the Marquis of Wujing, Zhang Junneng of the Zhang family of the Marquis of Shouning...
Luo Sigong saw Mao Wenlong's embarrassment and smiled and said, "The Lord punished the big commandment and let them suffer some hardships. These bastards, having a few meals of coarse food and bad food, can they still keep their tempers alive? General Mao doesn't have to make things difficult. I have sent someone to take good care of them."
"Mr. Luo is thoughtful." Mao Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Sigong's people were good or bad about these second-generation ancestors, and Mao Wenlong didn't care about them, and he didn't want to care about them. But if he wanted to come, it would be a headache to be light or serious.
Until now, Mao Wenlong still couldn't understand Luo Sigong's purpose. Could it be that he just sent a few intelligence officers or sent these second-generation ancestors to suffer?
These are definitely not all, Mao Wenlong doesn't need to think about it.
And if you can assign Luo Sigong, the great god, to the small Pi Island, to care about the beggar soldiers and Liaodong refugees in the Dongjiang River, there may be no one else except the one in the imperial city.
The emperor is interesting to Dongjiang!
Mao Wenlong doesn’t know what it means yet, but he is sure that as long as the errand is done well this time, the situation in Dongjiang may change surprisingly.
While talking and discussing here, the atmosphere on Pi Island was already warm. Both refugees and soldiers showed joy and ran around to tell each other.
The rice was cooked in a large pot, and the rice was fragrant; the slaughtered pigs and sheep were chopped into pieces of bones and meat, and stewed together with cabbage and radish, and the meat was tempting.
Although the food is not rich and not carefully prepared, it is the most rare delicacy for the military and civilians of Dongjiang who are rushing in the cold wind, ice and snow and living in a hurry on the deserted island.
In Dongjiang, where the happiness is based on the ability to eat enough, it is definitely the happiest thing to be able to eat meat and drink meat soup.
Under the command of the officers, teams of Dongjiang soldiers lined up to collect weapons and equipment.
There is not much armor, so it can only be assigned to a small number of officers and other people; soldiers, either swords, shields, or spears, but at least each person can get another mandarin duck battle jacket and a felt hat (Fan Yangli).
The mandarin duck battle jacket is red, with long clothes up to the knees, narrow cuffs, and cotton inside, also known as the "red fat jacket". Knights often wear double-breasted clothes to ride a horse.
Even the lowest configuration standards make the Dongjiang soldiers composed of refugees excited and excited. They wear clothes and hats, hold guns and knives, at least they are no longer messy beggar troops.
not to mention--
"Long live the emperor's grace, long live, long live, long live!" Holding the three taels of silver in his hand tightly, Feng Datie knelt down with his companions in front, back and left and right to thank him.
Three taels of silver are more than a month, but as normal, it is just the military pay of Ming soldiers for more than a month.
But as a veteran of the Liaodong Army, Feng Datie, who had been in trouble for more than two years, had never received so much money.
In his memory, it is already very grateful to be able to give four months of color folding and eight months of true color every year.
The so-called color breaking means giving away silver, and the true color means giving away food directly. But what is the grain produced? The better ones are "mixed with sand and soil bran", while the worse ones are "swine like manure".
