Regarding whether Lin Huaiwu should be promoted to the commander of the Second Army, some senior officials in the Fengwu Army believe that he was one of the first people to follow Ye Mingsheng and was a veteran of the Fengwu Army. In terms of seniority, Yuan Song and Guo Zhiping were not as good as him. He should be the commander of the military expansion and reorganization...
But there are also some people who believe that Yuan Song is the first to be promoted to commander this time and is undisputed. Although Guo Zhiping's military achievements are not as good as Yuan Song's, he relied on his contribution to annihilating Zhao Yong in the battle to enter the Pass, and This time he took credit for containing the main force of the Luobei people in Yuyang, so there is no problem for him to occupy a quota!
But compared with the first two people, although Lin Huaiwu is senior enough, his military achievements are much inferior. Only this Mingyun Mountain victory can be achieved, but the reason why Mingyun Mountain victory can be achieved is not complete. It is Lin Huaiwu's credit, and Zhang Meng's support and assistance are also very important.
It is precisely because of Lin Huaiwu's mediocre military achievements that the two factions quarreled fiercely. The public said that the public was justified and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was justified. No one could be overpowered. It was after hearing these discussions that Ye Mingsheng decided to break up the military. The tradition of ranking based on seniority establishes a culture of recruiting those with ability, which is why Lin Huaiwu was not directly promoted to commander of the Second Army.
However, since Lin Huaiwu followed him to Liaoyang, he had always been loyal and conscientious. Although he did not have any great achievements, he still had some hard work and could properly complete the tasks he had arranged. Ye Mingsheng felt that it was better to Lin Huaiwu should be given a chance to avoid disappointing his old subordinates.
After looking at Lin Huaiwu carefully, Ye Mingsheng said leisurely:
"Zhao Jian'an is recruiting the remnants of the Yan army in Jinzhong, reorganizing the army and preparing for war. He has also secretly colluded with the rebel Shangguan Hongyuan. He is planning to betray the imperial court and counterattack, which will endanger the safety of You Yan. General Lin, what do you think of this matter? ·······················”
Listening to Ye Mingsheng's words, Lin Huaiwu, who was originally very disappointed, was stunned. Then he raised his head and looked at Ye Mingsheng in surprise and said:
"Commander, the Zhao family has tortured the people of Youyan for decades. They are entirely responsible for everything today. Our army entered the pass in response to the calls of the people of Youyan to eliminate harm to the people. To this day, the Zhao family still does not want to repent and still has illusions. It is really unbearable to return to Youyan to dominate and bring blessings!"
"Zhao Jian'an should be willing to die to apologize, and I also ask the commander-in-chief to give me this task. I will capture Zhao Jian'an alive and offer him to the commander-in-chief!"
After listening to Lin Huaiwu's impassioned words, Ye Mingsheng nodded slightly and said:
"Since General Lin is so high-spirited to fight, I will leave this task to you. I will let Zhang Meng's 7th Division cover your flanks. Zhao Jian'an has gathered more than 20,000 troops in Jinzhong, and there are The big city of Jinzhong is used as a cover, so remember not to be careless, I am waiting for your good news in Yijing! I will let the commander-in-chief of Jinzhong City work carefully and use hidden stakes to cooperate with your actions!"
"Thank you for your love, sir. Huaiwu will live up to your expectations!" Lin Huaiwu assured with confidence:
After getting Lin Huaiwu's guarantee, Ye Mingsheng felt relieved. After telling Lin Huaiwu to be careful, Ye Mingsheng let Lin Huaiwu leave!
Letting Lin Huaiwu go to Jinzhong was a decision made by Ye Mingsheng after careful consideration...
Although Ye Mingsheng wanted to intervene in Shangguan Hongyuan's offensive against Sichuan and Shu, he did not want to change the established general policy of Fengwu Army going south.
Moreover, Ye Mingsheng does not really want to have a big fight with Shangguan Hongyuan's Luo'an Imperial Army for the purpose of visiting the imperial court in the south. Even if he can win, Ye Mingsheng will not gain much, and he will also use Shangguan Hongyuan. Attracting all the attention from far away to yourself, in short, the gain outweighs the loss.
In addition, coupled with the previous north-south pincer attack by the Luobi people and the Yan army, although the Fengwu army won a complete victory, the money, food and goods accumulated previously were basically consumed. The army also needed to rest and recuperate after these cruel and fierce battles. Considering the time, the current Fengwu Army cannot conduct large-scale operations.
After comprehensive consideration of his own situation and overall strategy, Ye Mingsheng decided to annihilate Zhao Jianan who was entrenched in Jinzhong on the grounds of colluding with Shangguan Hongyuan. Keeping this guy alive will always be a disaster!
After killing Zhao Jian'an, he can use Jinzhong as a bridgehead, gather some troops there, and assume a posture of attacking Yunbin, forcing Shangguan Hongyuan to send some of the troops attacking Sichuan and Shu to go back and forth to aid Jinyang. .
In this way, it can not only effectively support the resistance of the southern patrol court in Sichuan, but also avoid the possibility of a large-scale war with Luo'an as much as possible. At this stage, the Fengwu Army's primary task is to focus on He digested Youyan's territory as quickly as possible, integrated the resources in his hands, and accumulated strength for the next expansion action...
After meeting with Lin Huaiwu, Ye Mingsheng handled some other government affairs. A few days ago, Gu Sansi compiled the specific sales of bonds into a list, listing the purchase amounts of the wealthy families in Youyan. All were recorded in detail.
After getting the list, Ye Mingsheng thought that Gu Zhongshi and the Gu family would not be very cooperative. Ye Mingsheng had already thought of a way to beat Gu Zhongshi, but what surprised him was that, The Gu family actually came up with 210,000 taels of silver, which was nearly a quarter of the bond purchase amount that had been sold!
Ye Mingsheng was still very satisfied with the performance of the Gu family, so he gave up on beating Gu Zhongshi. Then he singled out several families on the list that did not match their family's financial resources to purchase bond shares, and put them on the list. Give it to Huo San and let Huo San take care of it.
Huo San is naturally very good at this kind of thing. He first used the list given by Ye Mingsheng and the intelligence network of the Coordination Office to dig deeply into these families. He found out about price manipulation, bullying, preying on the common people, and some accepting bribes. The matter of buying and selling officials comes.
Regarding these matters, Huo San handed over the evidence and witnesses to the Prosecutor's Office, who then dealt with them according to law. In addition, Huo San also invited those who did not cooperate with the Bond to the execution ceremony of Ma Hongde and other Ma family criminal gangs. The leading figures of the selling family attended the ceremony.
Looking at Ma Hongde, who used to exchange cups with them, chatting and laughing with them, his head fell to the ground with a pop. These "big men" who used to be drunk and meaty in the past, none of them dared to chatter, and very honestly took out the real money. Purchased the bonds of Dadongsheng Company·····················
After such an operation, the one million taels of silver bonds that Ye Mingsheng planned to sell turned out to be over-sold by 1.3 million taels of silver. This made those guys lament that they had obediently handed over the money from the beginning. How great, now not only can I pay more, but I can also suffer so much for nothing!
Although they bought Dadongsheng's bonds, Ye Mingsheng did not write off the criminal facts of those people. These people must pay the price for the crimes they committed. Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who deserve to serve will serve.
However, with a generous mind and the idea of treating illnesses and saving lives, Ye Mingsheng has also given some lighter punishments at his discretion to those who have committed minor crimes, have a good attitude towards pleading guilty, and have a strong desire to improve, so that they can change their ways. Become a new person!
After getting the 1.3 million taels of silver, Ye Mingsheng, who had money in his hands, began to arrange for the soldiers who had contributed to the battle to reward the soldiers based on their merits and to deal with the casualties in the follow-up. This is why Ye Mingsheng The reason why Ming Sheng must get the money.
The reason for the Fengwu Army's strong combat effectiveness, in addition to sharp firearms and complete training, the most core internal reason is that the Fengwu Army's rewards and punishments are fair. Ye Mingsheng is not stingy with rewards. As long as he wins the battle and scatters a lot of gold and silver, in addition to In addition, a complete pension plan is also a very important part, which also relieves many soldiers from worries and makes them more determined to serve the Fengwu Army and work hard for Marshal Ye... ···············
After working at noon, Ye Mingsheng had a light meal and wanted to continue working and deal with the Jizhou farmland survey report that had not been completed in the morning as soon as possible. However, he felt the faint bulge in his lower abdomen. Ye Mingsheng, who had not exercised for a while, hesitated for a moment, then walked out of his study and walked towards the back garden, punching and sweating for a while. After all, the body is the capital of revolution!
Ye Mingsheng randomly found an open space and began to practice Bajiquan. Although he had been practicing this boxing method for more than two years, he did not persist because of his busy work schedule during this period. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng could clearly see that this He was already three points unfamiliar with boxing, and he could clearly feel tired.
Insisting on finishing a set of punches, Ye Mingsheng took the punch from Ye Cheng on the side, wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked casually:
"Is Mrs. Pei still in the hospital?"
Ye Cheng heard this and said without thinking:
"No, Mrs. Pei has been in the house these two days!"
Ye Mingsheng was a little surprised when he heard this. Pei Zhixiu was very concerned about her Changshan Medical Clinic. Normally, even if it was windy or rainy, it would be rain or shine. She would go to and from get off work by carriage on time every day. How could she suddenly do this? Didn't you go?
Seemingly sensing Ye Mingsheng's doubts, Ye Cheng hesitated and explained:
"The old lady has been feeling unwell recently, so Mrs. Pei will stay in the house to take care of the old lady these days..."
Seeing that Ye Mingsheng's expression became serious when he said this, Ye Cheng quickly explained:
"Mrs. Pei has already diagnosed you. It's just a cold infection. It's not a serious problem! After taking the medicine prescribed by Mrs. Pei, the old lady's complexion has improved a lot. Because I know that you are busy with official duties, the old lady specially told me, I won’t tell you this, for fear of affecting your work!”
After hearing what Ye Cheng said, Ye Mingsheng's expression softened a little, but he looked at Ye Cheng deeply and said:
"Ye Cheng, you need to remember one thing, you are my attendant! This is the first and last time. If you do it next time, get out of here immediately!"
After saying that, Ye Mingsheng turned pale and frightened Ye Cheng, and immediately walked towards Ye Cui's yard. It was also a coincidence that when Ye Mingsheng came to the yard, he happened to meet Pei Zhixiu diagnosing Ye Cui's pulse. In order not to disturb the two people and affect the diagnosis result, Ye Mingsheng did not walk into the yard immediately, but stood outside the house and waited for a while.
After about half a cup of tea, Pei Zhixiu finished diagnosing the pulse, smiled at Mrs. Ye Cui who was sitting on the chair and said:
"Mom, you are fine now, but you still have to drink the medicine!"
Listening to Pei Zhixiu's words, Ye Cui showed some embarrassment and said:
"How long do I have to take this medicine? Your medicine is too bitter, much more bitter than the medicine I drank before!"
Bae Ji-soo smiled and comforted and said:
"Mom, good medicine is bitter and good for the disease. You have to keep persisting to cure the disease. If you stop the medicine now, all your efforts will be wasted. You will have to drink it for at least seven more days. If you really feel the pain, you can give it to me. I’ll bring you some candied fruit from the kitchen to neutralize it and it won’t be so bitter..."
Listening to Pei Zhixiu's words, Mrs. Ye Cui sighed, but she could only nodded. After hearing these words outside the house, Ye Mingsheng walked into the room. When he saw Ye Mingsheng's arrival, Ye Cui's eyes lit up with surprise and said:
"Mingsheng, why are you here?"
Listening to Ye Cui's words, Ye Mingsheng said with some guilt:
"Mom, my son is late!"
Recently, due to the outbreak of the war, there are many matters that require Ye Mingsheng's personal decision-making. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng comes over every morning to have breakfast with Ye Cui. Other than that, he has never spent time with Ye Cui and has not noticed. Ye Cui's strangeness.
Looking at the apologetic Ye Mingsheng, Ye Cui comforted and said:
"Why is it so late? Isn't it okay for me? Everything will be fine with this kid Ji Soo!"
When Ye Mingsheng heard this, he looked at Pei Zhixiu and nodded gratefully. Pei Zhixiu pretended not to see it and continued to tell Ye Cui some things to pay attention to.
Originally, Ye Mingsheng spared an afternoon to play mahjong with Pei Zhixiu and Ye Cui, and to spend some time with Ye Cui, as compensation for being his son. However, Ye Cui also knew that Ye Mingsheng was busy with official duties and did not have much. time, so after playing a round of mahjong, she refused to listen to Ye Mingsheng's persuasion and kicked Ye Mingsheng out on her own initiative.
After walking out of Ye Cui's courtyard, seeing that Ye Cui was fine, Ye Mingsheng's heart gradually calmed down. Smelling the faint fragrance of Pei Zhixiu, he couldn't help but feel a little distraught. , remembering the appearance of the wonderful person in front of him, who was inheriting H under his body...
