Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 533 Meeting 1
After learning that the red lady had left Nanyang, Yang Menglong shook his head and scratched his head again... Thank God, he finally got rid of that female devil and was freed from her clutches!You don't have to worry about being pinched or scalped by her anymore!Even though she tricked her into stealing a large amount of weapons and equipment before she left, he was still very happy to be able to get rid of this female devil.

The happy Yang Menglong cheered up and began to deal with the backlog of official matters that had been backlogged for nearly half a year.Although with the help of Qi Hu and others, he established an effective system. Even without him, the Heluo New Army can operate normally, but he is the boss after all, and his role is often ineffective. Instead, he had to nod for many things. He had been away for half a year, so of course there was a backlog of things.

The first thing he did was to hold a meeting of all civil and military officials in Nanyang.Huguang is about to be taken down, so it’s impossible not to blow everyone a wind.

All civil and military officials in Nanyang gathered at the speed of light, just kidding, this is an important meeting related to their future and destiny!Nanyang is about to transplant its own system to the entire Huguang, and the administrative team that manages Huguang is built with Nanyang officials as the backbone. My God, how much room is there for them to display their talents? A county magistrate has arrived There may be a government and a state in charge over there, and I am so excited to think about it!As for the generals, they were equally excited. The Heluo New Army was going to expand its army again. The emperor gave them 6000 troops, which meant that after the expansion, the total strength of the Heluo New Army would reach 5000!The Denglai New Army will also expand its army, increasing its number to 2000, with a total of 7000. This is definitely the most powerful military force in East Asia, and it has copied the Heluo New Army system from the very beginning. , the Tianxiong Army, which is unswervingly approaching modern army building, can compete with them evenly, build slaves?Sorry, the Heluo new army no longer regards Jiannu as a formidable enemy!Expand the army to 2000 people, and each of them will be promoted to a higher level. Where can I find such a good opportunity!

Yang Menglong looked at the civil and military officials sitting upright around the round table, and was very satisfied with their vigor.Among the many officials here, the oldest is Qi Hu, his chief of staff; the second is Fang Yizhi, and these two are over 50 years old, and the others are all in their 30s and [-]s, and they are in the middle of their lives. The most energetic and energetic time in my life.Especially those county magistrates, who were basically replaced by young people who were born in the imperial examination and had not yet been an official. Hand it over to your deputy, play the role of a rubber stamp with peace of mind, and do business while being an official.It is a good thing that this group of officials has not been smoothed out, and they have shown their sharpness. He is not afraid of them showing their sharpness, but he is afraid that they will sit on a vegetarian diet and do nothing with their salaries.

Yang Menglong smiled and said: "Well, I believe everyone knows that the emperor is very dissatisfied with the current chaotic situation in Huguang, and decided to let the Heluo new army go south to quell the chaos in Huguang. The emperor treats our Heluo new army I am very confident, and believe that with the fighting power of the new Heluo army, it is not difficult to put down the Huguang rebellion, but the difficulty is how to manage Huguang well and prevent the same rebellion from happening again."

Wen Jingtai, magistrate of Wuyang County, snorted: "The Huguang rebellion was not forced out by those idiots in the Jingxiang officialdom! It is surrounded by the Jianghan Plain, the Jingxiang Phosphate Mine, and the benefits of shipping and fishing on the Yangtze River and Hanshui River. The whole province is rebelling, these idiots are really extraordinary!" The county magistrate is 33 years old this year, and he is from the same town as the original county magistrate Zhang Tong. , was tricked, and kicked to Wuyang, a place where rabbits don't piss and birds don't lay eggs, to be a little pawn.He originally thought that this would be the end of his life, but at the moment when he was about to despair, Yang Menglong, a bastard, popped up to make steel, set up factories, farm fields and reclaim wasteland. up.This year, Wuyang drilled thirteen salt wells in one go, enabling Wuyang to have the ability to produce thousands of stones of high-quality well salt per day, and the whole Heluo was shocked.Now Wuyang is in the early stages of development, relying on high-quality steel and well salt alone can make a lot of money, not to mention there are so many factories!After Zhang Tong was transferred to be the governor of Denglai, he took over Zhang Tong's class, and he became more and more enthusiastic about attracting investment and setting up factories, and he was full of confidence.After working with Zhang Tong and Yang Menglong for so many years, his greatest achievement is to learn to jump out of the boundaries of traditional literati, and try to look at problems from the perspective of the Workers and Peasants Party, such as the Huguang Rebellion... and the result of his research is: Jingxiang officials are A group of idiots who have harmed the country and the people, even if Qin Wang Yijun doesn't deal with them, they will be dealt with by Yang Menglong sooner or later, they are not worthy of sympathy.

Fan Congwen, magistrate of Xinye County, sighed: "Those idiots deserved what they deserved, but the people in Huguang are really pitiful! Alas, once an official becomes a thief, it is much more terrifying than a bandit!" A few tears.Everyone knows that he is talking nonsense, the people of Huguang are vigorously copying the vassal's house, and they have so much fun!

Yang Menglong murmured in his heart: "These guys have no conscience!" He coughed and said, "Stop talking nonsense, I have promised the emperor that if our Nanyang officials are allowed to manage Huguang, the taxes paid by Huguang will be reduced. It will be ten times more than it is now! Of course, the emperor gave me a discount, just pay five times more, you can't slap me in the face!"

Everyone let out a burst of easy laughter.In the past, they would definitely jump up and yell that they couldn't live anymore, let alone five times, even if they were reduced by [-]%, they wouldn't be able to pay, but now, it's so easy!

Fang Yizhi asked: "I don't know how the adults will arrange it?"

Yang Menglong said: "Master Fang's promotion to the governor of Huguang is a sure thing."

Everyone smiled and congratulated Fang Yizhi. Although they knew about it a long time ago, they were still happy for him when he was formally appointed.Fang Yizhi was so excited that his beard trembled, and he said repeatedly: "The emperor's kindness is so great, how can I not do my best to manage Huguang well!"

Yang Menglong pointed at Wen Jingtai: "After most of you are promoted to the governor of Huguang, you will take over as the governor of Nanyang. This is our hometown, so we have to watch it carefully!"

Wen Jingtai's chest rose and fell sharply, and he said loudly: "Thank you for your trust, sir! I will do my best to ensure that all policies in Nanyang are implemented to the end!" He is still self-aware and knows that the policies formulated by Yang Menglong and Fang Yizhi will continue. The cycle is very long, and you have to stick to it for ten or even 20 years to achieve good results. Since he doesn't have the ability to surpass these two, he can just follow the rules.

Yang Menglong pointed at Fang Yingqiu: "You will take over Wen County Magistrate's shift."

Fang Yingqiu has been by his father's side for the past few years, studying hard and improving very fast. It is more than enough to be a county magistrate. To be the magistrate of a county with a bright future... Nonsense, as long as you don't fool around, you can let a pig go Wuyang will not have any problems when he is the county magistrate!
Fang Yingqiu was so excited that he couldn't speak coherently, and it took him a long time to utter a complete sentence: "Thank you...thank you for your trust!"

Yang Menglong chuckled and continued to talk about his personnel arrangements.Fan Congwen, the magistrate of Xinye County, was promoted to the magistrate of Xiangfan, the magistrate of Xixia County was promoted to the magistrate of Chengtian, the magistrate of Biyang County was promoted to the magistrate of De'an, and the magistrate of Ye County was promoted to the magistrate of Jingzhou.These four are the most diligent, the most resolute in implementing Fang Yizhi's policies, and the best results. They have worked hard in the past few years, and now they are finally paying off.The four prefectures of Xiangfan, Jingzhou, Chengtian, and De'an are the essence of the hinterland of Huguang. If these four prefectures are well controlled, the entire Jianghan Plain will belong to the Heluo system, so it is understandable to send the best officials.As for the positions vacated by these four, their deputy will take the place first. If there are outstanding talents who can urinate into a pot in this imperial examination, let them come over to fill the position. If not, just help the deputy.

When civilian officials are promoted, military commanders must also be promoted.Xue Siming, who performed outstandingly in the Battle of Lushun, was promoted to the general soldier of any Luo, and Wu Sheng was promoted to the general soldier of Denglai.Han Peng was a little depressed. He didn't have any part in the Denglai rebellion and the bloody battle in Lushun. He had been fighting against the bandits in Funiu Mountain.However, in fact, the new army of Heluo is two legions, he and Xue Siming are half of each other, and it doesn't matter much who is right and who is forced.

Zhong Ning was promoted to be a general, and he selected 500 men from the surrendered Mongolian cavalry to add to the Lancers. In this way, the number of Lancers under his command would be as many as 500, plus the [-] spears brought by Zu Dale Cavalry will become a very terrifying battlefield assault force.

Cao Jun was promoted to be a general, and Zhong Ning selected all the remaining [-] Mongolian cavalry to be incorporated into his chasseurs. His strength had increased dramatically.

Xu Gong was transferred to the commander of Poshan Camp, and all the [-] Sauron dead soldiers captured by the Ming army in the Battle of Lushun were incorporated into Poshan Camp.So far, Xu Gong and Poshanying have not performed well. However, in the near future, this unit will scare the whole of East Asia.

……

Personnel appointments are arranged one by one, whether they are civil servants or generals, they are quite satisfied with Yang Menglong's arrangement, and those who have not been promoted are also sincerely convinced, after all, those who have been promoted are indeed better than them.

"Shen Tingyang was promoted to be a general of the Huguang Navy." Yang Menglong announced an unexpected decision.

Xue Siming frowned and called, "Huguang Navy? What the hell!"

Yang Menglong said: "The Huguang area is crisscrossed by rivers and countless lakes, so we cannot live without a navy. So I decided to establish the Huguang Navy to be responsible for maintaining the safety of the Yangtze River, Han River, Yiluo Waterway, Danjiang Waterway and other routes. If necessary, When the time comes, we must also be able to set sail and go on expeditions across the sea! Shen Tingyang has made a living at sea since he was a child, and there is no one more suitable than him."

Shen Tingyang was overjoyed and got up to thank him.After seeing the power of the Transformers fleet, he had long since left his poor Sand Chuan Gang behind him, and only wanted to lead such a fleet to fight everywhere. Now, his dream is about to come true!
