After the immortal disappeared

"Indeed." The eldest son's words showed that he had a clear understanding of the domestic situation, He Chunhua's situation, and even the rebels in Longchuan.

Such growth in one year?

"If one attack is successful and the main force of the rebels is wiped out, the remnants remaining in Longchuan will not be a concern. Dad can send troops to station in the village and clear out small groups of enemies in each area. This will progress steadily until all remaining enemies surrender or are wiped out. "

He thought in his heart, if the water bandits more than a hundred years ago had dared to leave their nests and go north like the rebels today, Yuheng City would have taken them all in one fell swoop, so why bother?

He Chunhua hummed: "Your thoughts are similar to Wu Shaoyi's."

Wu Shaoyi was originally Hong Xiangqian's general. He was subdued when the He family and his son went north to Xiazhou, and has been used by He Chunhua ever since.

He was unable to mount his horse and fight due to illness, but his knowledge was still there.

Dad wants him to say something new? He Lingchuan smiled: "Such a cleanup can be fast or slow; slow, just follow what Wu Shaoyi and I just said."

"How about soon?"

"If you want to go faster, you have to cooperate with dad's political skills." He Lingchuan pointed out the location of Yazhou on the sand table, "You are already the general manager of Yazhou, and you have the final say in this place. Promulgate tax cuts and light taxes as soon as possible to show your kindness to the people. The good governance of the people can reduce the hostility of the villagers who rebel against the party towards the officers and soldiers, and the progress of collecting Longchuan will be accelerated."

If taxes are reduced and taxes are lightened, where will the fiscal input come from? Don't worry about it, there will be solutions in the future.

The common people at the bottom have been overwhelmed for a long time. If we do not lighten their burdens and truly benefit the people, the relationship between the people and the officials will be antagonistic.

"Okay, okay!" He Chunhua raised his hands, "Well said. The other staff only talked about how to fight the war, and never thought about winning the hearts and minds of the people."

He sighed: "It would be great if you could go on an expedition with me."

"I want to go too, but I am the special envoy of Rongshan and I have to stay in Yuandu to monitor the whereabouts of the loan." He Lingchuan spread his hands helplessly, "Good steel must be used on the blade. With this little money, we can't harm everyone. Otherwise you won’t be able to fight on the front lines.”

"That's right." If the eldest son didn't sit in Yuandu and review the use of money, wouldn't these millions of taels be let go? He Chunhua also knew this very well, "We must give priority to the supply of front-line military supplies. It is also not easy for Generals Ke and Zhao, and they cannot be short-changed."

Wu Di even died on the northwest front, and now Zhao Pan takes his place and partners with Ke Jihai.

He Chunhua also admired these people for their dedicated service to the country.

"It's a pity that there is a slight rift between General Zhao and General Ke, and their cooperation is not as good as the two Wu Kes before."

He Lingchuan looked at the sand table again.

Back then, the navy bandits were seeking wealth, with the support of Bejia and Jin Ying behind them, and their interests were intertwined.

Today's rebels are in rags and struggling to survive, but their composition is very pure, they are poor peasants. If they had enough to eat, they might stop making trouble.

Combat strength, scale, and even the ability to see-saw cannot be compared.

He sighed to himself.

Time flies, one hundred and seventy years ago, Yuheng City and Longchuan Water Bandits, this pair of sworn enemies have long been buried by history.

It's all gone, only war will start the next cycle.

Only Bega is still alive, and he is as strong as ever.

…

The next day, He Chunhua invited the special envoy of Rongshan, his eldest son, to attend the military parade.

The main components of this army are the main force of the Xiazhou Army that followed the He family southward, soldiers from the four nearby Zhechong Prefectures, and some foreign troops guarding the vicinity of the capital, totaling more than 45,000 people.

The time was too short, and He Chunhua could only organize multiple confrontation military exercises in order to quickly integrate this mixed army.

In He Lingchuan's view, not surprisingly, the strongest one here is the Xiazhou Army.

He still remembered He Chunhua's embarrassment when he formed this army last year. He lacked food, clothing and command. Facing the Xunzhou Rangers who were engaged in guerrilla warfare, he had to rack his brains for his first victory.

Now, however, the military appearance is neat and well-equipped, and they can charge with style.

He Lingchuan himself is a veteran of the battlefield, and he can tell at a glance that this team has been on the battlefield and seen blood, and they will not panic when encountering difficulties.

I think I had a few fights with the Xunzhou army.

He felt a little emotional. In the past year, I have grown rapidly, and He Chunhua is also working hard here, without slacking off at all.

God rewards those who work hard. He Chunhua gritted his teeth and waited, but he was missing an opportunity.

Now, the opportunity has finally come, it depends on whether he can seize it.

Mr. Yuan also tried his best and allocated all the elites from the Forbidden Foreign Army and Zhechong Mansion to He Chunhua. This is evident from the eagerness to complete his victory in one battle.

As the expedition was about to begin, He Chunhua was as busy as a spinning top. He simply stayed in the military camp for food and accommodation instead of going home.

He Lingchuan took the opportunity to invite Wu Shaoyi to dinner and made a request to him during the dinner:

"Wu Gong is going to Yazhou now to find for me the county records of Tu County in the past two hundred years. It is best if they are related to Longchuan."

He couldn't go in person, so he had to find a reliable person to handle the matter.

"Takigawa?"

"Yes, I want any clues related to Takigawa! The more detailed the better."

Wu Shaoyi did not hesitate: "It's a trivial matter, I'll take care of it."

He Lingchuan had saved his life, so he could repay him with this little thing at his fingertips.

Two days later, the military supplies aided by Rongshan arrived, causing a sensation in the royal court.

This is life-saving money and timely rain.

The threshold of Yuanjun's study was almost broken, but under the close watch of Special Envoy Rongshan and Assistant Manager Hu, Wang Ting still withstood the pressure and gave priority to aiding the two major battlefields with food and salary.

That night, He Chunhua rushed back to He Mansion to reunite with his family, and early the next morning he led the army south to put down the rebellion.

Mr. Yuan personally went to the city gate to see him off, causing quite a sensation along the way.

He Lingchuan and Mrs. Ying also stood at the city gate. When his father turned around, he waved and smiled at him.

Father and son looked at each other from a distance, and they all felt alienated from each other.

Despite each other smiling brightly.

Then, the army left.

The excitement in Yuandu City also came to an end for the time being, and the crowd slowly dispersed.

Mrs. Ying was so excited that she didn't want to go back home for a moment, so she dragged He Lingchuan around for a long time. The latter practiced martial arts for a long time and was fine, but within half an hour of shopping, his legs began to feel sore, so he had to excuse himself from work and run away.

Just after they left the street, Qiu Hu appeared out of nowhere: "Mission accomplished."

He Lingchuan understood, found a restaurant, asked for a private room, and poured Qiu Hu a glass of wine.

Qiu Hu put his hands on his knees and did not touch the wine glass: "Young Master, I will follow General He for the past five days."

Although He Lingchuan is an easy-going person, there is still a difference between him and He Lingchuan. How can he eat and drink in front of the master before the report is finished?

He Lingchuan saw this and smiled slightly.

The task he assigned to Qiu Hu was to keep an eye on He Chunhua.

"What's the catch?"
