Chapter 1616 Do not believe

When Wang Ruhuai saw it, he said, "Mr. Lu is too hardworking. It seems that he is running back again?"

"Yes..." Lu Xiangsheng responded and said, "From Zhenbei Fort to Jingbian Fort, then go to Shoukou Fort, Zhenmen Fort, and then to Tiancheng Acropolis. From Huamen Fort to Zhenning Fort, turn back all the way, watch the guards and observe the enemy platform, and walk for more than half a month..."

Wang Ruhuai knew about Lu Xiangsheng's trip, but he did not expect that Lu Xiangsheng had been away for more than half a month, and he had almost traveled all the forts under the jurisdiction of Yanghedao and the corresponding Juntaidun Forts. These are hundreds of places, and the journey back was more than a thousand miles. You can imagine how to walk like this in the cold winter.

"Mr. Lu is really hardworking." Wang Ruhuai felt a little ashamed. He was a patrol. He should have visited various places to see the situation of the soldiers stationed, whether the officials and generals are competent, whether there are corruption and fraud, and other situations, and observe local culture and education, and investigate criminal matters. As a result, after taking office, he stayed in Yanghe City without moving, which was indeed a loss of duty.

"Things are all in my duty." Lu Xiangsheng responded lightly, not caring about it.

Thank you for your hard work. The wind and sand swell, and the ice thrusts on your face like a knife. Every day, you go on the road and stop and rest in the cold and hungry. The weather is cold and the road is long and long. Many military platforms are separated by dozens of miles without people, and their eyes are deserted. The feeling of loneliness and misery is still a torture of mind and test of perseverance.

Lu Xiangsheng thought it was hard, but he was happy to endure it. In particular, he heard that Zhang Han had traveled 3,500 miles in the snow in the north and returned to Guihua City for more than two months. This matter has been known by the propaganda department of Hebei Province.

Zhang Han can endure hardship, and of course Lu Xiangsheng can do it too. He patrolled the border of the Ming Dynasty, and had servants to follow him and serve him. The generals came and went to see him off along the way. He couldn't bear such hardship, so why should I talk about targeting the Hutchison?

“What is the local situation?”

"70% of the military platform and the Dunes are destroyed. If you need to repair it tomorrow spring, you may not be able to use money or food." Lu Xiangsheng frowned, obviously very upset about this matter.

During the Chongzhen period, he rebuilt a large number of Dunbao Military Stations during his tenure as Governor Xuanda. Lu Xiangsheng has always been a practical worker. Smart and capable are one aspect. Dare to think and do and be able to endure hardships are the most important character factors besides shrewdness. Many officials are also smart, but they cannot do anything in their hands. Because of insufficient motivation, as long as they are stable and manage their connections well, they can still be promoted. Naturally, they are unwilling to endure hardships and do more.

Lu Xiangsheng was different. During the Xuan Da term, he almost ran all the places under his jurisdiction, relieved pressure on the military households, persuaded farmers to plant mulberry trees, and increased Xuan Da's output by 200,000 stones of grain. Chongzhen praised it, and the Xuan Da border military fort was also repaired a lot by it. This kind of practical work and sufficient energy, which is the so-called execution ability, is one of the best qualities of an official.

"To be repaired next spring, we will have 153 fire road piers, each with 300 silver and 57 military platforms, each with 600 silver and more than 300 miles of border walls, and it is not known that each mile needs silver." Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "The local military platform in Datong Border Town is broken, and even here. If it is fully repaired, equipped with large and large firearms, chariots, cannons, the silver required should be more than one million. Even if some important Dunbao military platforms are repaired and cannons are equipped, it will require 200,000 to 300,000 silver. I don't know where this silver comes from?"

How could Wang Ruhuai take care of these things? Such things are caused by the Master of the Central Government and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, and Lu Xiangsheng and them will fight the famine. Anyway, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, so he cannot blame the local government for not doing anything without money and food.

All he had to do was to persuade Lu Xiangsheng to take action quickly. Jingli had made up his mind to take action before the New Year. Once Yanghe moved, the Xuanfu and Datong would move with cameras.

At the end of the year, the sudden launch of Hutchison's troops was probably not prepared enough. It is very likely that after Zhang Han was captured and escorted to the capital or executed on the spot, Hutchison's side could not react...

Wang Ruhuai signaled Lu Xiangsheng to retreat and talk to him secretly. When he said all these meanings, Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "I can't move for the time being."

"Why?" Wang Ruhuai said attentively: "I see that the soldiers and horses here are already elite enough, with three thousand marks, and there are nearly two thousand soldiers and horses in Xinping Fort. Five thousand people suddenly launched, and there are only dozens of guards around Zhang Han. Isn't that okay?"

"No." Lu Xiangsheng said: "The training of troops is just a manifestation, and the inner one is just the official who needs to practice loyalty. What is loyalty is nothing more than orders and prohibitions. These soldiers and horses have been picked from all over Xuanda Shaanxi and Yu. However, from my perspective, more than 90% of them have a good impression of the Lord and remember, and almost all of them respect Zhang Han. If the official leads him to conquer the Northern Barbarians, the soldiers will definitely use their lives and win a great victory. If he leads him to Xinpingbao, the soldiers will definitely have doubts. Even if he does not mutiny, he will lose his morale. This official has only been taking over for a few months now, and his prestige has been established. He preaches the Dao of Zhongxin every day and is immersed day and night. It will take several months before he dares to lead him to capture and kill Zhang Han. If the inspector thinks it is too slow, the official will be unable to imagine and has no way to do it."

Wang Ruhuai was stunned. He had never expected that Lu Xiangsheng was so unconfident...

"Is Lord Lu a little too alarmist?" Wang Ruhuai looked into the courtyard and said, "I don't believe that the soldiers outside are so concerned about Hebei?"

"Not only that." Lu Xiangsheng said calmly: "As an official, you should be aware of the gentry and the people's hearts. In Yanghe City, there are also many people who care about Heji. Moreover, Heji has a large number of secret spies in the city, which cannot be prevented. The villagers all look towards Heji. How many soldiers guarding the city gate can block it? The official and the Governor met several meetings, and finally felt that they could only calm down. The people around him should observe carefully and use it carefully. The outside works can only be done by them."

"I don't believe it." Wang Ruhuai said with some anger: "According to the military preparations, aren't we in a dangerous city?"

"It's almost the same." Lu Xiangsheng slowly picked up the teacup and drank tea. His shrewdness was beyond the reach of this idiot in front of him. He claimed to be a clear stream, and after being in the middle of the capital for a long time, he thought that he could act like the capital in the local area... How complicated is local affairs, especially in a complex place like Datong Town, which has both defenses against the north and Hutchison things. In addition to mining factories and commercial banks everywhere, it can be said that it can move the whole body. Looking around, there are almost everyone with Hutchison people. A person not only needs to listen to his words, but also watch his actions. Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even generals may not be completely relied on.

Fortunately, these people mostly just sympathize with Hutchison and respect Zhang Han, and their interests are not very involved. If they are from Datong Prefecture, the land is Hutchison's land, and they are tenants, or they are a clerk in Hutchison's business, or they have business dealings with Hutchison, or they are just part of Hutchison, or some people in the family join the military army... Among the two million people in Datong, such families account for the majority, Hutchison's is deeply rooted in Datong and cannot be shaken at all. Therefore, the soldiers in the Yanghe Daobiao camp were mostly foreign towns transferred from various places by Lu Xiangsheng.

The soldiers, select the essence of the essence, even if so, they must be strictly trained. At the same time, Xiaoyu's righteousness of the monarch and his ministers, slowly instilled in their thoughts that the Ming Dynasty was infidelity and unfaithfulness. Due to strict control and daily indoctrination, Lu Xiangsheng was still confident that he could train these three thousand people to the point of being like arm and fingers, and orders were prohibited. However, this took time and was not allowed. The court was frustrated by Jizhen and was embarrassed and anxious to solve Zhang Han. In Lu Xiangsheng's opinion, he had lost his normal heart. He acted so anxiously, except for his own confusion, and could only make a bad thing...

As for the inspector who was born as a clear stream official in front of him, Lu Xiangsheng completely despised the other party's ethics and ability from the bottom of his heart. The so-called clear stream and turbid stream were just divided by fools. However, now the court only uses this kind of bad custom to employ people. How many talented people can only determine their background by their academic qualifications and background to determine their character. The third-class Jinshi is only the fourth-class Huangtang, or even the seventh-class magistrate. No matter how good his talents and ethics are, it is difficult to make any breakthroughs in his career.

Wang Ruhuai, who was appointed as a censor because of his title, was transferred to the Censor, then served as an inspector, then served as an inspector, then transferred to the Censor, then transferred to the Censor, and then transferred to the Censor, which was a bright future.

Such people are keen on fame and fortune. They mostly start from books for local military and political affairs, and even speak absurdly. Some people have strong abilities in the service industry, can analyze military and political affairs very clearly and clearly, and can speak from the truth. Most of the service industry and imperial reputation are not tools for party struggles or ridiculous bookworms. Their existence is to give themselves reputation, or even sell entries to make money, and there is no ability or ethics at all.

Such officials are just Qingliu officials, extremely noble, only under the Hanlin.

Even in Hanlin, Lu Xiangsheng did not appreciate it. His generation carved up writing, understood the classics and history, and knew the examples of the court, knew past stories, and transferred from Hanlin to Kaifang to serve as a six-department department, gradually becoming familiar with government affairs. He was indeed much more capable than the emperor who grew up in the Great Inner Palace. But in the end, except for a few people, such as Zhang Juzheng, most of the cabinet masters who came from Hanlin did not have any real materials.

In the pre-Qin period, prime ministers must have originated from prefectures and counties, and powerful generals must have originated from the army. Lu Xiangsheng believed that this was the most correct way.

"If you don't believe it, after you go out, you threaten to take Needin to Xinpingbao. Promote loudly, ride a horse and gallop to see if the situation around you has changed." Lu Xiangsheng knew that Wang Ruhuai was very famous, so he could not give up all at once. Moreover, this was a secret envoy sent by the Beijing Central Committee. It was obviously a sign of the powerful and powerful people in the capital. Even the emperor agreed. After Lu Xiangsheng refused, he felt a mountain-like pressure in his heart.

Lu Xiangsheng was not worried that he would lose his post. He was worried that his efforts in the past few months would be completely useless. Once a person was replaced, even if an official who had passed his ethics and ability came to Ren Yanghe, everything would have to start over. Time was tight. If you act rashly under pressure, it would be very likely that something would be bad...

"Okay, then give it a try."

Wang Ruhuai never believed what Lu Xiangsheng said. Hutchison may have really done a lot of secret spies in the city, but it will never be as Lu Xiangsheng said... The whole city is full of spies in Hutchison, which makes people unable to sleep or eat? If this is true, how could Lu Xiangsheng be at ease? He trains troops in the city every day, and there are no abnormal measures?

He bowed his hand and said goodbye. Lu Xiangsheng sent it out of the official hall, not far away. He watched Wang Ruhuai turn over and walk slowly towards the camp gate surrounded by Neidian.

Lu Xiangsheng was also very curious. He also knew that many detailed works of Hutchison were placed in Yanghe. What's strange is that the detailed works of Hutchison in the past few days have almost no concealed their movements. Whether in this military camp, inside and outside his Yanghe Road yamen, or where other officials could see them, there were obvious detailed works. There were too many people to be arrested and investigated. The garrisons in the city and the permanent officials were avoiding such matters and no one dared to ask about them.
