Chapter 1374: Han Banner World (Sixty-Four) Joy and Anger
Luo Zhongshu felt that he was very likely to become the fastest-promoted official since the founding of the Han Dynasty. A year ago, he was just a small county magistrate. A year later, he became a high-ranking official because of the promotion of his predecessor Ling Fangshu. He is the chief official of a county, but he has not yet sat down in this position. Suddenly, he is about to become the governor of a county. Although there is a title of deputy in front of him, if he can do it properly, Of all things, what's the problem with taking those two words out? Having been an official of the Han State for several years, he was very familiar with the Han State's system of inspecting officials.
There is smoke rising above the ancestral graves. Luo Zhongshu felt that all the desolation he had suffered in the first half of his life had been made up in just a few years. It was not that he had no talent, but he just did not meet a boss who appreciated him. After Yingshui became the territory of the Han people, most of the original officials ran away. I didn't run away. Firstly, I was afraid that I had no land, and I was a native of Yingshui. Secondly, even if I ran away to other places [Pig] [Pig][Island] The novel ww.zuhm is gone, what can I do? I have no background and no skills. I know nothing but being an official. He gritted his teeth and stayed, but became the first boss of the Han people after they got Yingshui. His life seemed no different from before, and he was still doing the same things as before. The first boss is not an innovator, he just does his job step by step, and I have worked conscientiously for a year under this first boss. Apart from work, I have worked hard to find everything that is relevant to me. I studied the laws related to the Han Dynasty and studied hard. Then, the second county magistrate Fang Shu came.
My preparations this year have not been in vain. Fang Shu is young, but very talented and very independent. More importantly, he came directly from the political hall to serve as the county magistrate. He is in his hands. Yingshui County radiated great vitality. In just a few years, it went from a small town with a military confrontation on the border to become famous throughout the country.
Fang Shu left, and his assistance to him in the past two years also earned his appreciation. He insisted on becoming the magistrate of Yingshui County. He once thought that his good luck would be like this, and this life would come to an end. , but I never expected that the king would arrive here. With a single opening of his mouth, he became the acting governor of the newly conquered Yingchuan County.
Stabilizing Yingchuan is not particularly difficult. Luo Zhongshu, who has worked in Yingshui County for many years, knows very well that although the opposite side is the territory of the Qin people, it is definitely a unique Qin people's territory. Many of the policies they have implemented Compared with Ying Shui, they have different approaches but similar results. To put it bluntly, the opponent is copying the policies related to the Han Dynasty. For example, land policy and various business policies. Where farmers have their own land, they will not run away because the land cannot run away and the people run away. When you come back next time, this land may not be yours. And businessmen will not run away. In this era, most businessmen are well-informed people. Because they traveled south and north all year round, they probably knew the Han State better than most people in the Qin State. Even better than some Han natives, after all, Han is so big that some counties still have different local policies. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the four major strata, it was no big deal if the scholars ran away. Luo Zhongshu knew very well that the kings of the Han Dynasty valued scholars, but they did not seem to be interested in those scholars who came from the old system. Instead, they like Fang Shu who came from the Han Dynasty Those who graduated from Chinese universities are extremely valued. Scholars can be ignored, but industry. Is there any industry in Yingchuan County? They don't have any, and some are just small handicraft workshops.
It can be ignored completely, and merchants and farmers are the foundation of the Han Dynasty. However, the two classes in Yingchuan County are the two classes most like the Han State. Stabilizing them can be said to be effortless.
All it takes is a piece of peace edict to tell the farmers whether it's theirs or theirs. In addition, taxes will be reduced to the same level as those of Han farmers. This fee is only one-third of what they originally had to pay to the Tan Feng regime. First, I believe they will burn incense and pray immediately to wish the king of Han Dynasty a long life. As for businessmen, do they need comfort? Their noses are sharper than anyone else, and they can see the wind and color faster than anyone else.
To appease a newly occupied enemy territory may be a complicated and complicated task that can drive people crazy elsewhere, but in Yingchuan, it seems too simple.
Luo Zhongshu left with great joy. After returning, he immediately packed his packages, took a few guards and several clerks with him, and immediately ran to work in Yingchuan County opposite.
The king's silent appearance here means that this war is definitely not a trivial matter. Maybe the Han army will continue to invade for a long time. Then, the newly occupied Yingchuan County will become an important base in the rear. , this may be one of the reasons why the king urgently needs Yingchuan to settle down quickly. Otherwise, he would not even be willing to wait for a more qualified official to be transferred from above, but would promote himself from the front.
This is indeed green smoke rising from the ancestral graves.
Luo Zhongshu went to Yingchuan County City to work happily, but there was another person who was full of anger. This person was Chen Bin, the commander of the 19th Army. As a general who had participated in almost all the important wars since the founding of the Han Dynasty, Chen Bin's qualifications were only slightly weaker than some of the old men in the Fufeng system. When he was about to reach Yingshui River, he received a report from the 88th Division that Yingshui County City had been taken. He was very happy for a while. Ye Feng was indeed very capable. He estimated that under the current conditions, he would need one to two days to take Yingchuan County City. Unexpectedly, in just half a day, he could actually defeat this heavily defended city. Even if the weapons and equipment of the 88th Division were unmatched by the other side, this was still an amazing city.
But as he read the battle report in detail and asked some questions to the messenger who sent the battle station, Chen Bin's face slowly sank, and finally, it was so gloomy that it almost dripped with water.
This great victory was once on the verge of failure. If the king had not led his troops to the battlefield in person, Ye Feng might have been driven to the Yingshui River by Gongsun Zhi. The battle report is also a report document from the subordinate to the superior, which records all the details of the battle. In the eyes of veterans like Chen Bin, Ye Feng made too many mistakes. If the soldiers of the 88th Division were not so strong, and if the king had not personally taken action, this battle would have been lost.
Letting the king go to the battlefield in person regardless of his safety is a failure in itself. It is not only the face of the 88th Division that is lost, but also the face of the 19th Army. If the bigwigs in Jicheng knew that the king had personally wielded a sword to fight again, their anger would definitely be poured on themselves, not Ye Feng. Ye Feng has a deep foundation. He is the brother-in-law of the king and the younger brother of the queen. He does not have such a strong backer. If the bigwigs in Jicheng want to make trouble, of course they will come to him.
This made him very angry. In Yingshui County, the 19th Army did not stop, but crossed the river directly into Yingchuan County City. After Chen Bin went to pay his respects to the king, he hurried to Yingchuan County City.
The king's attitude was a little strange. After trying it out, it seemed that he was also a little dissatisfied with the war, which made Chen Bin feel relieved.
After entering Yingchuan County City and settling the troops, the first thing Chen Bin did was to convene a meeting of all officers above the rank of corps. After every battle, there was a combat review meeting. This was not only for senior officers, but also for the Han army from top to bottom. From squads, platoons, companies to regiments, divisions and armies, they summarized their gains and losses from the review and submitted them one by one, and finally submitted them in written form to the military headquarters.
Chen Bin felt that this battle of the 88th Division was very likely to become a classic battle example in the negative teaching material of the Jishicheng Military University, on how to fight a battle with absolutely superior weapons and equipment. If this is true, the 88th Division and the 19th Army will simply be infamous for thousands of years. In the future, when the military district holds a meeting, I must wear a mask before going.
Dozens of officers sat in the hall, but there was no sound. They were all veteran officers. After the battle report was passed around by everyone, they naturally saw the problems in it. To be honest, there was really no officer here who was as young as Ye Feng but became the head of a division. The 19th Army was separated from the New First Army. The grassroots officers in the New First Army basically graduated from the Jishicheng Military University. However, the Battle of Pengcheng greatly affected the promotion of the original officers of the New First Army. Now the officers above the regiment level of the 19th Army are basically transferred from outside, and the senior officers of the New First Army are almost all gathered in the 20th Army. This makes the senior officers of the 19th Army older.
Many officers felt very embarrassed at this time. The post-war discussion was basically not for praising people. Its main purpose was to find faults. Even if you won the battle, everyone could find many problems after careful analysis. This kind of discussion was sometimes a torture for the generals who commanded the battle.
But today's discussion was a bit strange. Unlike in the past, if everyone felt something was wrong, most of them would point it out directly, but the commander of the 88th Division was Ye Feng. This person's identity was a bit sensitive to everyone here. They were not Chen Bin, who could ignore Ye Feng's identity. Besides, the leaders of the military region were also very fond of Ye Feng. Not to mention anything else, the equipment of the 88th Division alone was enough to kill everyone here in seconds.
It was impossible to praise. No one had developed such a thick skin, but it seemed that criticism was difficult to say. If you offend this person, you don't know what kind of shoes you will wear in the future! So all they could do was keep silent, watching their noses, their hearts, some people were concentrating on picking their nails, some were counting the number of bricks on the ground, but no one spoke.
Ye Feng's face flushed. He had participated in such discussions many times before. Every time, he pointed out the mistakes of others with fierce words, but today, the silent silence made him feel extremely embarrassed. Of course, he knew that this was because of his special identity. In fact, over the years, he has been trying hard to get rid of this stigma. This stigma made him different, but it also distanced him from everyone.
He stood up and took out a roll of paper from his arms: "Dear colleagues, I, Ye Feng, have lost the face of the 88th Division and the 19th Army." (To be continued.)
