6.30 Xue Tu's betrayal and military arrangement

"Xuezi, do we have any specific information?" Wei Xu asked seriously.

"Mei Zheng was born as a Jinshi, and he is only 34 years old this year. He is the absolute confidant of Li Shouyi, the principal of the Imperial Academy, and is also a talent recognized by the court. Although he may not necessarily enter the cabinet in the future, the position of the six ministers is still very promising.

His son Mei Hanzhang, who was in the same year as his master, is still studying hard for the exam, but he also scored sub-yuan in the Zhongbei Zhili Township Examination last year, and he is basically a sure candidate for Jinshi in the next subject.

He is currently only 17 years old, one year younger than his master. It may also be due to his noble background, coupled with the fact that he is young and promising and his official career is too smooth, he is a bit arrogant and has a temper on various occasions.

Everyone is familiar with Bao Qin's situation. She is one year younger than the two cousins, so there is no need to rush to a blind date, let alone a direct engagement, and we have never heard of her blind date before.

Master, we didn't get this information because of special surveillance, but we learned about it when Mrs. Xue communicated with Mrs. Erfang a few days ago. "Saeko Busujima said seriously.

"Husband, I'm afraid it's not just that." Qin Keqing's tone was a little nervous, "Mei Zheng was born in the noble Imperial Academy, and the reason why he is still in the Imperial Academy until now is nothing more than to support her.

His purpose is to ensure that the foundation is more stable when he takes the position. This is also the consistent style of civil servants.

In addition, Mei Hanzhang was also born in the imperial examination. In theory, it is impossible to marry the merchant's daughter anyway, and the appointment is still a married woman. There must be arrangements for this. "

"It seems that our second master of the Xue family is not honest." He hugged Xue Baochai with a gloomy expression in his arms, and kissed him lightly to comfort him. .

He has always been absolutely supportive of the eldest son of the Xue family. He thought it was due to family affection and interests. Now it seems that he wants to find another way by himself, and then he will rely on the capital of the Xue family as a backing.

Now Xue's fleet is the absolute largest family in the whole south after Guangdong Thirteen, but he still wants to change direction, and considering Mei Zheng's identity, it seems that he has voted for the royal or civilian camp. "

"Master, we don't have accurate information in this regard, and the intelligence network in the capital does not have such a deep source of information, so we don't know what the conditions of the two parties are." Saeko Busujima said with a frown.

"It's okay and it doesn't matter." Wei Xu said with a sneer, "Since you dare to intervene, you must be prepared to pay the price. For Baochai's sake, let's not do anything about Second Master Xue.

My guy from the same age is a bit arrogant, right?He must study hard on weekdays, but all kinds of communication are absolutely indispensable. In this regard, the Eight Great Hutongs in Beijing should be indispensable, right? "

"It's not a secret in the capital, those scholars have always been like this." Saeko Busujima smiled sarcastically, "Mei Hanzhang has a good relationship with many courtesans and famous prostitutes, and he sings poems on weekdays, and he is quite famous for being romantic.

As for things like staying in brothels, although it is not too much, it is not too little. Anyway, no one takes it seriously, and maybe they can get a good reputation. "

"Get rid of him. After all, he likes brothels at a young age. It's completely understandable to use some medicine when you can't do what you want. You can discuss it with Shizuka." Wei Xu's expression was completely cold.

"It's not difficult, but it will take time for the north and south to pass the news, and it will probably take about a month." Saeko Busushima didn't mean it was difficult.

"Brother Xu—" Xue Baochai in his arms looked embarrassed, "Baoqin and the Mei family have already engaged, if Mei Hanzhang dies like this, she will become a widow, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a good family in the future."

"No way, your second uncle's fleet is too important, I originally gave him absolute trust because he was also from the Xue family and has been in the noble camp for many years.

He is responsible for almost all of our transportation these days, and we have not cultivated our own fleet. If we lose these, I am afraid that we will be controlled by others because of logistics for a long time in the future.

Especially in July and August, we will definitely go south to fight against the Qianxiang country. If we rely on land transportation for supplies, it will be a disaster at all. "No matter how distressed Wei Xu is, he dare not let go of this aspect.

Throughout the feudal history of China, although there have been many examples of attacking Southeast Asia, they have not been able to control for a long time. The root cause is the supply line. After all, no matter how strong the army is, it still needs to eat.

Given the traffic conditions of the feudal era, such a long and complex overland supply line could be called a catastrophe. It might not be enough to transport a stone of grain and consume twice the amount on the road.

In fact, the same was true for the Dashun Dynasty. The main reason why the four major frontier armies were able to maintain a semi-independent state was that the capital was beyond its reach. If there were any problems on the border, if they really relied on the capital for arrangements, the day lily would be cold.In this way, the frontier army could not avoid the problem of "raising their own food and wages." Once they were truly self-sufficient, it would mean a complete loss of control, which could not be solved in the entire feudal era.

In this regard, the three frontier armies in the north are not too far away, and the Liu family of the king of Nan'an County is almost in a state of "listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement", because there is really no way for the capital to control them.

Relying on the strong military strength, the pressure of the frontier and the weakness of the capital, the Liu family basically managed the real Dian province and some of the Guangxi and Sichuan provinces as their own.

Once Wei Xu went there as a reinforcement, it would be nonsense to expect the Liu family to provide supplies, so his plan was to transport by sea, and then transfer to the land after reaching the coast of Gui Province in reality, saving more than [-]% of the consumption.

But when it was reported, it was transported according to the normal land route. Even if the other side only paid half, at least it would not be a loss-making business. It didn't care about the consumption, but had to give the capital an illusion of "everything is under control".

Xue Baoqin is also one of the second editions of the Twelve Golden Hairpins, and she is a very popular character in the original book. She can be called the top quality of "Red Mansion" in all aspects, but one must have a life first, and then help others.

Now that Xue Tu's rebellion has been basically confirmed, the problem can only be solved in the fastest and most effective way, even if it is accidentally injured.

"Saeko, from now on, we will deploy personnel, assemble the team, and arrange some appearances such as conscription, but we must ensure that all personnel are in place within a month.

Even at this speed, we have less than two months to complete personnel integration and equipment replenishment. Fortunately, these people have been training for such a long time, and this time is completely enough.

Ke'er, the four thousand households will be here tomorrow night. You should arrange the relevant reception matters. In short, don't show the slightest hostility. Anyway, our method is not to do it directly. "Wei Xu began to arrange follow-up work.

"Husband (Master), don't worry." Qin Keqing and Busujima Saeko immediately agreed.

"Saeko, thank you for your hard work." Wei Xu was also very helpless about this. Saeko Busujima had originally arranged to be the person in charge of the intelligence port, but now she has to take care of the deputy of the entire army. Hard work is indispensable.

It's not that Wei Xu is lazy, but that he has reached his level. His usual main job is no longer military management training, but office work in various agencies. This is the same in reality.

In this way, a senior deputy is needed, but his talent training has just started, and the result of his rapid expansion of power is that he is short of manpower, and his own people can only be busy in the dark.

"Saeko is not afraid." Saeko Busujima smiled sweetly. In the original "School" world, she also has the role of the protagonist's assistant.

"Baochai, you still have to cheer up, we need you to do our logistics work." Even though his chest was wet with tears and a little cold, Wei Xu could only harden his heart, "For your sake, Xue The second master didn't move for a while.

This time it is a supply of nearly 6000 people, the workload is huge, and you are indispensable for all arrangements, and Mrs. Xue has to arrange special staff to ensure safety, so you must also be serious. "

"Hmm!" Xue Baochai buried her head in Wei Xu's arms, her voice was so small that she could hardly hear it.

"Husband, my two younger sisters and I are going out first." Seeing such a situation, Qin Keqing was not an unreasonable person, she got up and prepared to go out with Baozhu, Saeko Busujima and Zhen Yinglian who only served tea and water without speaking. .

"Ke'er, you stay here." Wei Xu smiled and waved, letting the other girls go out first, and took Qin Keqing and Xue Baochai, and the three of them went back to the bedroom directly.

"Husband!" Qin Keqing, who guessed what he was thinking, snorted dissatisfied. She has always relied on her status, and usually only flies with Baozhu and Wei Xu.

Maybe Zhen Yinglian will be added in the future, but these two are bought as maids, and she has always been very strict about the "division of wives and concubines".

"Baochai, how about my wife and I serving you together today?" Wei Xu gave Qin Keqing a begging look, then lowered his head and smiled at Xue Baochai, who was blushing to the neck.

"Brother Xu—"
