Chapter 78 After the Great War

The battle of Jiangling was undoubtedly a turning point in Lu Qiang's life. From then on, he no longer had to look at anyone. After this war, the Huan family will gradually perish.

Victory on the battlefield is just a point, but its effect is immeasurable.

First of all, Lu Qiang has really grown up in this battle and has gradually changed from a general who only knows how to kill to a commander who can dominate the whole situation. Of course, this is just the beginning.

In addition, Lu Qiang's personal prestige has also reached an unprecedented height, and Jiangling is proud to be under his rule. And this magical victory has undoubtedly become his representative battle. Lu Qiang's reputation is spreading to the world at the fastest speed...

In the next few days, under the rule of Jingzhou, those county officials who refused to listen to Jiangling's dispatch or had been watching began to form a group to pour towards Jiangling.

These guys are ghosts. Everyone knows that if you don't show your determination and position now, it will be too late when the Jiangling army comes.

Lu Qiang doesn't know these things. What he is most concerned about now is how to arrange these people in his hands.

In this war, Huan Wei's 60,000 horses did not really die in the battle. More than 10,000 people escaped, and all the others were captured.

After the war, Lu Qiang's army also urgently needed to be supplemented and expanded. Now the original army in Jiangling, together with the armies of Guoquan, Feng Gai and Sima Diao, and those captured troops, the army has soared to 80,000.

However, such a miscellaneous army is obviously not what Lu Qiang wants. Soldiers are not expensive. In addition, the army must be absolutely controlled in their own hands. Veterans such as Guoquan can use it, but they can no longer give them such great autonomy.

Guoquan and others have defected to Lu Qiang, and of course they have no objection to his decision.

In this way, Lu Qiang began his elite plan.

First of all, it is to abolish the old and the weak, and then clear those fathers, sons or brothers who are in the army. At the same time, it is announced to the soldiers that Jiangling will implement a recruitment system, and the people will take money from the army. The former military households will also adopt a voluntary situation so that they do not have to serve as soldiers for generations.

With the implementation of this measure, Lu Qiang was originally a little worried about the opposition of the veterans. After all, in this era, the world military system is a major source of soldiers.

But it was beyond his expectation that everyone agreed with his decision, which made him bolder.

After a layoff, there were only 40,000 troops left in the end, and all the rest were repatriated to farm.

Huan Wei came all the way, and there were ten rooms and nine empty, and the farmland was also greatly damaged. After all the wars, production must be restored as soon as possible, and the most needed is people.

Although Lu Qiang is now in power, it is not enough to challenge those deep-rooted scholarly rich families, but Huan Wei gave him this opportunity. After the army is reorganized, he will take over the property of the Huan family and those rich families who have supported the Huan family in the name of suppressing the remnants of the Huan family, and then assign them to Pu. Connect with the people.

The road has to go step by step, and many things can't be rushed.

Lu Qiang also ordered people to build two large camps in the north and south outside Jiangling City, with 34,000 troops stationed among them.

Nandaying was led by veteran Guoquan and Tan Daoji, and Peking University Camp was led by Zhao Lunwen and veteran Feng.

Tan Daoji and Zhao Lunwen, two dazzling generals, rose in the defense of Jiangling, and no one was surprised by their promotion appointment.

Although Zhou Kui has never been particularly outstanding, Lu Qiang started his career, so he can't neglect him.

With the importance of cavalry, Lu Qiang has decided to form a 3,000-person cavalry, which will be led by Zhou Kui, but he is only a daily management. The real leader is Lu Qiang himself.

It's just that there is a shortage of war horses. The sum of Huan Wei's family and the war horses in Guo, Feng and other armies is only more than 2,000, so finding a way to get a war horse has been put on the agenda.

Although the cavalry has not been formed yet, it can serve as a cavalry capital, which really excited Zhou Kui for a long time. The cavalry itself is treated higher than ordinary soldiers, and it is also a strong guard. Can he not be happy to hold such an important position?

In addition, Lu Qiang also set up a 3,000-person city defense force and handed it over to Wang Zhen's evil leader. The responsibility of this team is to protect the city and maintain public security in the city.

Luo Song's scout camp has also been expanded to 500 people. Their current responsibilities are still mainly military. Lu Qiang has already figured out that once there is progress on Liu's side, Luo Song will be the main and Liu Sinu will be the deputy to form a huge intelligence network to collect information from all aspects for his use.

With the issuance of orders from the government office, the land of Jingzhou also began to glow with vitality.

Lu Qiang can now almost describe his busyness with the word "no foot touching". He has to deal with military affairs every day and receive officials from various counties. If he hadn't been young and energetic, he would have been tired, which made him feel more and more important.

Just processed a batch of official documents, the bodyguard came to report, and Lord Tao Yuanming asked to see him.

For Lord Tao, Lu Qiang finally remembered that the popular song "under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums, leisurely see Nanshan" was written by him, but he did not expect that this great god not only wrote poems well, but also handled internal affairs well.

In this Jiangling defense battle, he has done a good job in stabilizing the hearts of the people in the city, organizing logistics and supply, so Lu Qiang intends to use him as the governor of Jiangling.

It turned out that Lu Qiang only occupied a city in Jiangling, and could not give Tao Yuanming and Wang Zhen too much official positions. With the arrival of officials from various counties and counties in Jingzhou, they must also have their own clear responsibilities.

Wang Zhenwei has been appointed as Jingzhou Sima by Lu Qiang. Just as Lu Qiang wants to appoint Tao Yuanming as the governor of Jiangling, these two official positions should normally be appointed by the court, but in Lu Qiang's mind, he is the court himself, and he can appoint whoever he wants to appoint.

And the civil and military officials did not feel anything wrong with Lu Qiang's practices, because other self-respecting officials also did the same.

Today, Tao Yuanming did not come, and Lu Qiang was also looking for him, but it was not all about appointing him as Jiangling Taishou. Tell people to pass it on.

Tao Yuanming quickly came in, bowed and said, "I have seen you"

"Yuan Liang is just right here. I'm going to have someone invite you! Sit down first"

Lu Qiang ordered someone to give Tao Yuanming tea, put down the official document in his hand, walked out from behind the desk, and came to Tao Yuanming to sit down.

Lu Qiang's body is getting more and more powerful. Tao Yuanming didn't dare to sit with him. He was busy to stand up, but he was pulled down by Lu Qiang.

"Don't be so restrained. Why did you come to me first?"

Tao Yuanming is a very character. He speaks straightforwardly and is easy to offend people. In addition, he comes from a commoner, so although he is talented, he has never been reused. If he hadn't met Lu Qiang, he might have done something now!

"Your Excellency, please be frank, your Excellency is a little imprudent in dealing with Sima Diao's affairs"

After listening to Tao Yuanming's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help frowning. Sima Diao Zhan killed Huan Wei. It sounds good to atone for his achievements, but how could Lu Qiang dare to use him? So after breaking up his army, he was left idle.

But I don't know how Tao Yuanming came to speak for him?

"Did he come to you?"

In fact, Tao Yuanming didn't want to speak for Sima Diao. He was also very disdainful of Sima Diao's character, but felt that Lu Qiang had a problem in dealing with this person.

Shaking his head and saying, "Your Excellency should order him to take Huan Wei's head to Jiankang"

But what's wrong?

Lu Qiang couldn't help patting his head and sending Sima Diao to Jiankang in the name of asking for a reward, which gave Sima Diao a face and reassurance to his former men. And Sima Diao obviously understood that he was unpopular in Jiangling, and it was estimated that he would not come back after this time.

Why didn't you think of such a good method?

When he thought of doing it, Lu Qiang immediately ordered someone to send an order to Sima Diao, asking him to take Huan Wei's head to Jiankang to ask for rewards instead of himself.

What Tao Yuanming appreciated most was Lu Qiang's vigorous and procrastination. In fact, he was also very busy. After reminding Lu Qiang, he was ready to leave, but was stopped by Lu Qiang.

After telling Tao Yuanming's decision to appoint him as Jiangling Taishou, he said, "Yuan Liang! As you know, now there are more and more government affairs, and we don't have enough people! Can you recommend some talents to me?

Thinking of Lu Qiang, Tao Yuanming can be passed down through the ages. He should be a contemporary Confucian. There must be many like-minded people around him. Just find two and you can help yourself!

Tao Yuanming nodded and said, "I have a good friend, and my character and talent are the best choice, but my family is poor, and I have never been evaluated by a decent adult. I don't know if adults are willing to use him?"

After listening to Tao Yuanming's words, Lu Qiang did not answer immediately, but stood up and looked at the leafy ancient tree in the courtyard with his hands. After a long time, he said, "There is no cold door in the top, and there is no scholar in the lower grade. Yuan Liang, do you know how much I hate this system? It's just not the right time!"

Chen Moyu is not by Lu Qiang's side, otherwise he will have to be scared when he hears this. This system has been in force for hundreds of years. Isn't that the election there? If Lu Qiang dares to question this system, aren't you afraid that the morale warriors from all over the world will come against you?

Tao Yuanming doesn't think so. He is the most touched and hateful of the bad habit of Jiupin Zhongzheng. And if Lu Qiang can really break this bad habit, it will undoubtedly make the poor people in the world see hope and will definitely get their absolute support.

His eyes lit up and gave a deep bow to Lu Qiang, and he said excitedly, "It's lucky to meet Ming Gong. Yuan Liang thanked the poor students in the world."

Lu Qiang shook his head: "Don't thank me. Even without me, this bad habit will be cut off sooner or later. Go first! Let your friends come to see me, first serve as the long history of my house, work for a period of time before releasing it out"

The official position of long history is not big or small, and there is also a long history in the government office of the Taishou government, so it mainly depends on who you give the long history. However, this official position is very important, which is equivalent to a staff member or secretary-general, which can be said to be a close minister of the chief.

Chen Moyu also does secretarial work, but Tao Yuanming knows that Lu Qiang uses him mainly for the Chen family, and his friend is different, which is really talented and practical.

He answered happily and turned around and went out.

Lu Qiang completely believes in the people recommended by Tao Yuanming. Now after the Jingzhou War, all kinds of talents are needed. In fact, what he wants most is to take an examination such as the imperial examination. His current identity and influence can obviously not achieve the effect he wants.

If only I could have greater power.

Through the big trees in the courtyard, Lu Qiang's thoughts couldn't help flying to Jiankang.

"Brother, how's it going?"
