A map was placed on the table.
Two people stand on each side of the map.
"Zhangde Mansion has still captured the entire territory, and we are close to Beizhili. Our soldiers and horses will definitely not move." Sun Chuang pointed and said.
Chen Xunping clicked on two locations on the map with his finger and said, "Guide Mansion faces both South Zhili and Shandong directions, so the troops and horses there cannot move."
"Our soldiers and horses in Zhangde Mansion and Guide Mansion cannot move, so there are not many soldiers and horses who can move." Sun Chuang said.
Chen Xunping pointed his finger at the location of Kaifeng Mansion marked on the map and said: "Then use the troops and horses in Kaifeng Mansion, and the target of Shandong Beiwa Dusi is Kaifeng Mansion."
"Xiao Wu only has one combat barracks. Isn't it a little missing?" Sun Chuang frowned slightly.
Chen Xunping said: "Kaifeng Mansion not only has our tiger-character flag troops, but also has a surrender force. Our soldiers go to fight in the front, and we cannot leave this surrender force to enjoy the blessings in the rear."
"You mean the troops of Xuanwu Guard?" Sun Chuang asked.
Chen Xunping nodded and said: "Yes, this time Xuanwuwei's soldiers and horses will be used to cooperate with Xiao Wu's Second Battle Barracks. The strength of the troops is no worse than the soldiers and horses of Shandong Beiwa Dusi, and they also have the artillery of the Second Battle Barracks." With the support of the team, the firepower far exceeds the troops of Shandong Beiwa Dusi."
Sun Chuang looked at the map with a thoughtful look on his face.
It's not that the Second Battle Barracks and Xuanwuwei's cooperation cannot deal with the troops of Shandong Beiwadusi, but that Kaifeng Mansion has just been occupied and if too many troops are deployed to the Yifeng area, it will easily cause instability in the rear.
"I know what you are worried about." Chen Xunping understood Sun Chuang's worries and continued, "Li Xunfu has trained peasant soldiers in the rear for so long, so that when Li Xunfu sends personnel to Kaifeng Mansion, he can bring more with him. Peasants and soldiers, although these peasants and soldiers cannot go to the battlefield, they should not have much problem maintaining the stability of the place."
Sun Chuang raised his head and glanced at Chen Xunping.
Only then did I realize that the other party had already thought of everything.
"That's all we can do for the time being. If we are given half a year more, I won't be worried even if the Shandong Capital Commander comes, not to mention the Shandong Preparation Division." Sun Chuang said.
Seeing that Sun Chuang had no objection, Chen Xunping became more relaxed and said, "Since you have no objection, I will arrange for someone to go to Luoyang as soon as possible."
"Send a fast horse," Sun Chuang said. "It's a pity that many inns in Henan are abandoned. If there were inns, it would be faster to get to Luoyang."
At this time, Chongzhen had no idea of setting up a post station, so the post stations in various places still existed. However, as the tiger-character banner army entered Henan, some of the post soldiers at the post stations packed up their valuables and fled for their lives because they were afraid of being implicated in the war. So much so that some of the inns became deserted.
However, after Li Shuheng brought Hong Chengchou to Henan, he began to slowly restore the functions of the inns. However, because there were too many affairs in Henan, it was impossible to restore all the inns at once. He could only pick up the inns on important routes first.
It's several hundred miles from Zhangde Mansion to Luoyang.
It was two days before the people sent by Chen Xunping arrived in Luoyang.
Li Shuheng, who came to Henan as governor, although he had experience in governing Qingcheng and Banshengdi, was still somewhat unable to cope with the various complex situations in Henan.
For him, he has never experienced many things. He needs to learn a little bit, slowly adapt to the situation in Henan, and learn how a governor governs Henan.
Fortunately, he had the chief envoy Hong Chengchou to assist him, which made it much smoother for him to take over the situation in Henan.
Although Hong Chengchou had never served as a governor of a province, he had done extensive patrolling and political participation in Shaanxi. Even if he had not done it himself, he knew a lot about many things and had rules to follow in handling affairs.
"How are the officials sent to Zhangde and Guide Prefectures prepared?" Li Shuheng asked Xiang Hong Chengchou.
Hong Chengchou said: "The personnel going to these two mansions have already been prepared. We are waiting for Chen Shizheng and others to take over these two mansions, and then we can send personnel to take over."
Although Kaifeng Prefecture was captured by Xiao Wu not long ago, Zhengzhou, Yuzhou and other prefectures and counties within Kaifeng Prefecture had already been captured by the Tiger Banner army, and the Tiger Banner officials who went to take office in these places had already taken office first.
"People can be sent over," Li Shuheng said.
Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "I'll make arrangements now. Before leaving, would Futai want to meet the people going to these two houses?"
"Gone." Li Shuheng waved his hand and then said, "We are gathering a peasant and soldier team of a thousand soldiers and sending them to Kaifeng Prefecture to temporarily serve as local guards."
Hong Chengchou looked hesitant after hearing this.
Li Shuheng, who didn't hear the response, looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "What? Are there any difficulties?"
"There is indeed a little difficulty." Hong Chengchou said, "Peasants and soldiers come from various local towns and villages. Fundamentally, these farmers and soldiers are local people, and the training time is not long. Many farmers and soldiers may not be willing to leave home and go to other places."
"You want to say that the peasants and soldiers are worried about us letting them go to the battlefield as soldiers, right?" Li Shuheng asked.
Hearing this, Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "We have allocated farmland to the peasant soldiers' families. Although the peasant soldiers are willing to undergo military training as peasant soldiers, most of them want to be content with being rich and are not necessarily willing to leave their hometown to go to other places." Of course, if you can give me a little more time, I can be sure to gather a force of one thousand peasants and soldiers."
"I don't have much time for you." Li Shuheng said, "Master Chen is in a hurry. No matter how you gather this thousand-man team of farmers and soldiers, you will be given three days at most. You must gather the team and start."
"This!" Hong Chengchou looked embarrassed.
Li Shuheng poured a cup of hot tea, brought it to Hong Chengchou with his own hands, and said: "Think of a way. If it is not necessary, I don't think Chen Shizheng will ask us for farmers and soldiers."
Hong Chengchou took the hot tea with both hands, a thoughtful look on his face.
Li Shuheng did not rush him and stood aside waiting for him to come up with a solution.
After pondering for a moment, Hong Chengchou said: "If we want to assemble a team of peasants and soldiers who are willing to leave their hometowns within three days, we can only do so by promising them benefits."
"As long as it's not too much, just look at the arrangements. I only have one request. This peasant and soldier team must set off for Kaifeng Mansion in three days." Li Shuheng turned around and sat back on his seat.
Hong Chengchou nodded and said: "Don't worry Futai, Xiaguan will definitely do it, but I would like to ask one more question, are these peasants and soldiers really not going to go to the battlefield?"
"I know what you are worried about. Don't worry, it won't happen. Moreover, these peasants and soldiers will come back within half a year at most." Li Shuheng gave him a guarantee.
Hong Chengchou was completely relieved after hearing this.
As long as he doesn't have to go to the battlefield and promises some benefits, he believes that there will still be many farmers and soldiers willing to go to Kaifeng Mansion.
