Ming Zuo

Chapter 415 Choice
Among the territories currently occupied by the new army, Dengzhou is the most complete.

Because it is located in the easternmost part of Shandong, far away from other central areas.

Moreover, as the location of the military town in Dengzhou, there is no local government, all of which are guards.

In today's Daming, the Weisuo system has long since fallen. In these remote areas where grandma doesn't care and uncle doesn't love, if you control it carefully, no news will get out.

Just when the [-]st Division and the rebels fought in Huangxian County, the [-]st Regiment of the [-]th Division, which had just been formed in Jiaozhou Bay, began to cooperate with the administrative staff for local reception.

The decaying and declining guards could not stop the new army's front.All the guards were disarmed, and most of the guards generals were convicted and dealt with.

Under the planning of the Executive Committee, from now on, Dengzhou will be included in the administrative map like other places, and the purely military function will be abolished.

After years of development, administrative talents have ushered in a big explosion, and it has become easy to control the place.

In the local administrative agencies, the police system was specially listed by Zuo Menggeng, and it became the resettlement place for veterans and veterans.

This is what he strongly demands by referring to the example of his previous life.

The military, like the police, belongs to the violent sector and therefore needs adequate deterrence.

Although the training and construction modes of the two are not exactly the same, a qualified soldier is not bad at being a police officer.

At the same time, arranging retired and wounded soldiers to serve as police officers is equivalent to solving the soldiers' worries and greatly stabilizing the military's morale.

Especially now that the regime has just been established and the place is unstable, what is most needed is deterrence.Therefore, the police who have been converted from the military have become particularly useful.

Only when the regime is stabilized can the police slowly form an independent system.

Like Wang Wei, Guo Chao was once a soldier and a company commander.

During the Battle of Mengshan, he was accidentally wounded, his right thumb and index finger were broken, and he could no longer hold a gun.

Although he was very reluctant, he had to leave the barracks and change his career to a place.

Those who can be company commanders are valuable talents.Therefore, Zuo Menggeng made the best use of it and dispatched him to serve as the chief of the Dengzhou County Police Department.

After Guo Chao took office, he forcibly eliminated several local gangs, arrested many hooligans, and destroyed local casinos.

All of a sudden, local security in Dengzhou improved rapidly, and no one dared to commit a crime.

After stabilizing the social atmosphere, Guo Chao began to perform another duty, that is, to count the local household registration.

I came to Qi Mansion today to do this.

Now everyone in the new army knows that this is the former residence of Qi Jiguang, because to show respect, the police chief Guo Chao came in person.

"The people of your house, regardless of gender, age, master and servant, must register. Don't think about hiding your household. In the future, people without household registration will have a hard time here, and they will not be able to share fields, and their children will not be able to enter school. The same felony cannot escape.”

Qi Zuoguo was not intimidated.

The Qi family is not a big family nowadays, and the population of the family is relatively simple.

He called the whole family out and asked Guo Chao to bring someone to register.

Such cooperation gave Guo Chao a good impression of the Qi family, and he also reminded him a few rare words.

"Master Qi, Master Shen, the two of you were originally appointed officials of the imperial court, and you have a clear name. If you still want to join the officialdom, report to Mayor Zhang as soon as possible, and they will make arrangements."

While Zuo Menggeng vigorously cultivated talents, he also paid attention to attracting old talents.

People like Qi Zuoguo and Shen Shouyue have certain abilities even if they can't compare with their parents.In addition, there is no evil behavior, and it can be recruited and used properly, which can greatly relieve the pressure of employment.

Qi Zuoguo and Shen Shouyue nodded on the surface, but after Guo Chao left, they were all in trouble.

"Uncle Qi, what should I do now? It seems that Zuo Menggeng has a big plot, and the harm is more serious than Dongjiang's rebellion."

Qi Zuoguo grabbed his beard and sighed with emotion.

"I heard that Zuo Menggeng defeated the rebels in Huang County. It can be seen that the army is magnificent and unparalleled in the world. Just ask the world, who else can control it?"

The two have been involved in the military all their lives, and they naturally know very well about the situation of Daming.

The most powerful Guan Ning army can't even defeat the rebels, so how can they face the new army?
Qi Guangzong also said: "Then Zuo Menggeng has been entrenched in Shandong for many years, and he has accumulated such a momentum quietly. I really don't know what the civil and military officials of Dongchang House do?"

When he said this, Qi Zuoguo and Shen Shouyue were shocked at the same time.

After a long time, Qi Zuoguo smiled wryly.

"I'm afraid that the officials over there have already boarded Zuo Menggeng's pirate ship. Otherwise, the canal runs through Dongchang Mansion, and the court attaches great importance to it, why didn't you notice it?"

Shen Shouyue thought more.

"Li Meng is a famous official in the dark world, and everyone is praised for his ability. I never thought that even he would rebel."

The two of them gathered together to be sad and sad, but Qi Guangzong said, "If you want children to watch, it's okay to be the opposite. Let's not talk about the people, let's talk about our family, what is the life like?"

The more honored the ancestors, the more dissatisfied with the current situation.

Qi Guangzong has been labeled as Qi Jiguang's grandson since he was born.He used to be proud of this, and felt that if he worked hard, he would be able to honor his ancestors in the future, and not weaken his grandfather's reputation.

But when he grew up, he discovered that the label of Qi Jiguang's descendants actually made the Qi family try their best to save their lives.

They are the descendants of Qi Jiguang. They have paid so much effort and contributed so much to this dynasty, but they have finally received such treatment.

You can imagine how unbalanced Qi Guangzong's heart was.

Qi Zuoguo and Shen Shouyue looked at each other, never expecting that the younger generation in the family would have such a rebellious mind.

Qi Zuoguo was fine, but Shen Shouyue was the most difficult.

Because he also has the post of Denglai Navy Admiral.

After the injury was healed, Shen Shouyue returned to the sailor first, and then he did his actions after seeing the situation clearly.

But when he arrived at Shuicheng, he was dumbfounded.

"Where's the boat? Where have the boats gone? Where are the people?"

A new army officer came over and looked at him suspiciously.

"Who are you? Why are you here?"

Shen Shouyue didn't care about anything else and reported his identity.

"Shen Shouyue, the commander-in-chief of the Denglai Naval Division, dare to ask where the warships... and the soldiers and craftsmen have gone?"

The officer was stunned, obviously being greeted.

"You are Shen Shenzuo? It's a pleasure to meet you. The boats and craftsmen here have already been transferred to Jiaozhou Bay."

Shen Shouyue accepts incompetence even more.

"Why do you want to transfer? The navy is the foundation of Denglai's foothold. Without the navy, what would Liaodong do?"

The officer didn't care.

"What should I do in Liaodong? That's what the imperial court should think. What does it have to do with our new army? The water conditions in Dengzhou are poor and it is difficult to develop. Therefore, the participants decided to dispatch all warships, craftsmen, and soldiers to Jiaozhou."

Shen Shouyue sat down on the ground, looking at the empty water city, completely lost his soul.

Although he had already guessed that Zuo Menggeng was going to rebel, he didn't expect Zuo Menggeng to do such a thing.

At this time, there were still many Ming troops stationed in Lushun on the Liaodong Peninsula and on the islands at sea to fight against Houjin.

The logistical supplies of these troops are all transported by boats from Dengzhou.

Now Zuo Menggeng has taken away the boat and people, and the Ming army in Liaodong has immediately become a source of no water.Not to mention war, starvation is imminent.

Thinking of this, Shen Shouyue jumped up suddenly and went to find Zhang Jimeng.

Hearing that he came to visit, Zhang Jimeng received him very happily.

Shen Shouyue walked into the mansion and saw that Zhang Jimeng was actually eating.

However, there was no Ming Dynasty officials who did not tire of eating fines and delicates, and there were no delicacies of mountains and seas on the dining table in front of Zhang Jimeng.

At first glance, there is a bowl of two rice, a plate of pickles, and a plate of unfamiliar dishes with a golden color.

He didn't know it was fried potato chips.

But at a glance, Zhang Jimeng's simplicity was beyond his expectations.

Moreover, Zhang Jimeng hadn't focused on eating, and he was still discussing something with others while eating.

That person Shen Shouyue also knew, it was the police chief Guo Chao.

"If you don't have enough manpower, you will recruit. Didn't you have a staff of [-] people? It turns out that the soldiers and young adults here can be selected by you first. Be careful, you must find someone with a clean net worth and a pure and kind temperament. If you Someone in the police knows the law and breaks the law, and you know the consequences.”

Guo Chao actually did not listen to his words.

"Of course I know that I need to recruit people, but what about the money? How can I recruit people if your mayor won't grant me funds?"

Zhang Jimeng said hurriedly: "Look back, when I finish eating, I will have someone send the approval note to you."

Guo Chao was no longer entangled and left happily.

Zhang Jimeng let out a long sigh and swallowed two mouthfuls of rice in a row. Seeing Shen Shouyue coming in, it was inconvenient to stand up, so he said, "General Shen has been neglected."

Shen Shouyue was very uncomfortable with the way of doing things here. After thinking about it, he could only say: "Is it a bad luck for the lower official?"

When he thinks about it, although he doesn't know what the official position of the mayor of Dengzhou Zhang Jimeng is, since he is in charge of Dengzhou, he is similar to the original governor of Denglai, and he can also be regarded as his boss.

Zhang Jimeng ate the last bit of rice, asked the secretary to clean up the table, and said with a smile, "General Zhang is not a colleague of my new army now, so he doesn't need to be an official."

This is not funny at all.

Because since I'm not a colleague, then...

Maybe the enemy.
