The devil is coming

Chapter 349
When the leader calls you over and tells you that he has something to discuss with you;
If you really believe it and want to sit down and discuss it with him, then you are in trouble.
In fact, it's not that General Zheng doesn't understand this truth, but he really doesn't want to leave his hometown.
What is this called?
As soon as I built Cuiliu Fort, I went to Shengle.
I just built the new city wall in Shengle, and now I have to be transferred to Xuehaiguan again?
Am I a general who leads troops to fight, or is he Dayan's country hero?
But no matter how dissatisfied you are, when Tian Wujing said those words, the matter was already settled.
In fact, no one cares whether you want it or not.
This sentence refers to the current relationship between Jingnan Marquis and General Shengle, but why doesn't it have a deeper meaning?
Zheng Fan fell silent and stopped resisting because the door to resistance was blocked.
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan and continued:
"Snow Customs is a good place."
"Master Hou, that was before."
Even if you plan to accept your fate, you still have to say a few words about your grievances, right?
You can't be kicked out of your old nest and still have to reply with a shameless face: Mr. Hou is wise.
In the past, Xueguan itself was a majestic pass in this area. The reason why Zheng Fan's Shengle Army was able to successfully defend this place was because of the location of the majestic pass.
The savages hated it, but the reason why they could not completely destroy it was, firstly, because the savage king stopped it in time, and secondly, because this city was too strong.
The foundation is so deep, the city bricks are so thick, and the scale is so huge that even if the savages want to demolish it, it will take a lot of effort.
It can be said that even if you expand the newly built Shengle City several times, it will be difficult to match the scale of Xue Customs.
Because Xuehaiguan is not just a city, but also a line of defense that stretches out. There are many military forts similar to Cuiliu Fort and satellite towns on it.
Its status and size are similar to the Tuman City seen in Beifeng County.
After all, the people of Jin had devoted all their efforts to build Xiongguan. How could it be bad?
And although it is called "Guan", the space in the city is definitely not small and can accommodate a large number of people.
Originally, sitting in the Snow Customs, doing business with the wild people in the snow field while extending the trade route to the Chu State, and at the same time undertaking the trade from the Jin State to the Yan State and even further to the west, it was definitely a lot of money.
But now, after a war, the savages are not a master who knows how to make a long flow of water, but a group of hungry wolves who are crazy about poverty, and have almost turned this place into a white land.
You must know that later the savages could not even capture the nearby Jin slaves, nor could they find cannon fodder to attack the city, and their "food" was gone.
This shows how low the population here has fallen.
The most important thing is that this place will definitely be a place with frequent wars in the future.
The Yan State has almost a military control system for the three Jin areas. If you are stationed here, the court may give you half of the money and food, and you can make up the rest yourself.
This is an unspoken rule in other places, because the court also knows that you must have a lot of cheating. In a word, don't pretend to be incorruptible to me.
But the terrible thing is that once the war starts, regardless of sending troops, you have to bear the expenses of troops coming from other places, just like the last time when the Marquis of Jingnan led his army to the snowy plains, Shengle City provided food, grass and supplies to the civilians.
Therefore, I have to take over an empty shelf that looks huge but is actually empty inside. I also have to prepare for a large group of poor relatives to come to my place to enjoy the autumn breeze, including food and drinks.
"You have to take a long-term view. Shengle is too small after all."
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan calmly,
continued:
"The prince's palace should be moved from Litian City to Yingdu, Litian City and Quhe City. The imperial court must take half of it and provide it with civil servants."
Quhe City and Litian City are the "capital cities" of the Danghelian family and Wenren family respectively. According to Jingnan Hou, the pure military control of these two places will end and become co-governance by the two highest officials, one civil and one military. situation.
This is also in line with today's trend, where civilian officials are in charge of local areas and generals are in charge of military affairs. However, because of the political environment of Yan State, for the time being, there will not be a situation where civilian officials dominate military generals like in Qian State.
But if you do this, you will definitely not feel comfortable.
After being deprived of economic and people's livelihood power, how can you still train troops?How can we develop with peace of mind?How to expand the army?How can we carry out our own ideological and political construction?
In comparison, it seems very logical for Marquis Jingnan to move into Yingdu;
Firstly, it is to stabilize the local people's hearts; secondly, it is to deter Xueyuan and Chu State; thirdly, it can continue to erode and disintegrate the basic base of Chengguo, allowing it to be merged into Yanguo faster.
"You can go to Quhe City and Litian City, but are you willing? Yingdu, of course, is impossible to give it to you. The land of Sanjin is considered fertile, and there are only a few places. Is it possible that you want jade?" Pancheng?
There are still tens of thousands of Chu troops trapped in Yupan City. After several battles, they have long been empty.
Snow Customs is in a dangerous position. If you go up, you can contain the snowfield. If you go down, you can attack the Chu territory.
As a general, you should not be afraid of fighting. What you should be afraid of is that there will be no battles to fight.
There are actually many general soldiers in Dayan, but there is also a big gap between the general soldiers and the general soldiers. Sheng Le's general soldiers are not generous to say it. When the war here is over, in three or two years, who will be able to do it? Remember you again?
If a knife is not sharpened, it will rust; if a person does not stand in front of the stage, he will be forgotten. "
This can be regarded as Tian Wujing speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Put others aside, give him a promotion yourself, give him a place to garrison, forget it without being grateful, how dare you be picky?
Are you drifting off or am I, Marquis Jingnan, unable to move?
Only when facing Zheng Fan would Tian Wujing say a few more words.
"It's true that the land outside Xue Customs is completely white now, but aren't you, General Zheng, the best at running a business? You can manage a small Sheng Le in a decent way. Let's reopen Xue Customs here. In the future, it will be really amazing.
If you hadn't made the greatest contribution to the Eastern Expedition this time, at any other time, it would be difficult for me to push you to the position of General Soldier of Xue Customs even if you wanted to take it.
You are good at making things and like commerce. You have a lot of things from Shengle Workshop in the shops in Litian City.
If you want those [-] savage prisoners of war, I can give them to you, but if you still want them..."
Marquis Jingnan pointed to the north.
Road:
"There are many of them on the snowfield."
Slaves, labor, but if there is any shortage, go to the snowy fields to catch them.
Anyway, after this battle, even if the Yan people do not go to the northern expedition to the snowfield for the time being, the vitality of the snowfield has been greatly damaged, and it will be difficult to continue to struggle.
In the past, the slave trade among the wild people in the Snowfield was booming.
Zheng Fan believed that if a blind man was allowed to handle this matter, he could use the same tactics that Westerners used against black uncles.
Zheng Fan nodded,
The words are a little softer,
With emotion:
"Master Marquis, what you say is true. The general also knows that the Marquis appreciates and promotes the general, but..."
"In the first three years, Ying will be fully responsible for supporting you with the money and food needed by Xue Customs."
Zheng Fan's eyes lit up.
"In some other places, you can find some ways to make up for their shortcomings, such as your Shengle City, but Xuehaiguan has a dangerous position and great connections. If the savages are in front of you, neither the imperial court nor the people of Jin will want to come here again. once.
This is the difference in location,
I heard that when Wujiang led his army to the Eastern Expedition, you went to him to ask for food, grass and military pay. Although you deliberately tried to shirk it, everyone knew that the military supplies in Shengle could not be sufficient.
But when you are sitting on the top of Xuehaiguan City, if you want anything, you can directly write to Yingdu and the court, and they dare not refuse to give it to you.
Let’s not talk about money and food.
We need people, officials, war horses, and official positions.
One stroke, one item,
You can even open your mouth and ask for tax exemption for all caravans you send out of the customs in the three Jin and Yan lands. "
Zheng Fan's eyes lit up the more he listened.
Damn it, is Lao Tian teaching me how to be a warlord?
Tian Wujing looked at Zheng Fan's face, shook his head, sighed, and continued:
"One part of the world's talents is in the grasslands, and nine parts are in the temples. No matter whether they are civil or military, what they pay attention to is selling to the emperor's family.
You have accumulated a lot of things by yourself, searched for them by yourself, worked hard, and been busy here and there. It may only be this little, so you might as well just ask the court for it.
When you give it to you, it belongs to the court, but after you use it for a long time, it becomes your own.
I feel that General Zheng doesn’t need to teach you any specific changes, right? "
"The final general will be foolish, but he will ponder it day and night and dare not bother the Marquis anymore."
This is actually quite taboo to say.
Tian Wujing was almost speaking from his own experience,
Who originally belonged to the Jingnan Army?
That was the Jingnan Army of the imperial court.
Tian Wujing took over the title of Marquis of Jingnan from his predecessor, Marquis of Jingnan, more than ten years ago.
You know, unlike the Marquis of Zhenbei, which is hereditary and irreplaceable, the Marquis of Jingnan before Tian Wujing was said to be a title, but in fact it was more like an official position.
In more than ten years, Tian Wujing directly put his own brand on the Jingnan Army.
All the money and food for the soldiers and armor came from the imperial court;
But looking now, half of the Zhenbei Army has been eaten by the imperial court, but the Jingnan Army has become a truly independent force in the Yan Army.
Even if the eldest prince led the emperor's order to march eastward, all the commanders in the Jingnan Army would dare to ignore him directly.
Zheng Fan was really touched that Tian Wujing could say these words, which meant that he didn't want to have any grudges in his heart and hoped that he could take over the place in a down-to-earth manner.
"Master Marquis, I understand. I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of the Marquis and will guard the Snow Customs well. However, what I am actually worried about is that if I spend several years of hard work, the Snow Customs will be restored." After running the business, if we have to change places in the future, wouldn’t it be a loss..."
Tian Wujing interrupted Zheng Fan,
smiled,
Road:
"If you run your business well..."
paused,
Tian Wujing's eyes revealed a deep thought,
"Who dares to ask you to make room for me again?"
