After seeing off Qu Shizi, Lin Chunhong finally turned his attention to Jingzhou and Jingmen, which is a foundational place that cannot allow one prefecture and one state to wander outside the system.

Jingzhou has jurisdiction over Jiangling, Zhijiang, Gong'an, Shishou, Jianli, Songzi and other counties. In fact, Yiling Prefecture and Guizhou are also within their jurisdiction. Later, due to the establishment of the governor of Huguang, Jingzhou's jurisdiction over Yiling and Guizhou gradually became famous. Whether it was He Zhiyuan or Gao Doushu, the order had never been to Yiling and Guizhou.

Since Wen Lin Chunhong of the Ministry of War was promoted to deputy general and was responsible for the defense of Jingzhou, Jingmen and Yiling, Gao Doushu has never slept peacefully.

After thinking about it, Gao Doushu sent a letter to Tong Shiyan, the governor of Yiling, and Cheng Yuqing, the governor of Jingmen, which was the general idea that the Ming Dynasty was full of fire and the bandits were rampant. We, the matter of our lords and loyalty to the king, should work together to resist the bandits and invite the two to Jingzhou to discuss the plan.

As a result, Tong Shiyan rejected Gao Doushu's invitation using the excuse of busy affairs, and Cheng Yuqing happily responded to the same party and immediately took a boat from Juzhang River to Jingzhou.

"After leaving the capital, I suddenly realized that for three years, Brother Xiangxian's style remained the same, which really made me admire him!" Cheng Yuqing's cheerful laughter resounded throughout the government office. Cheng Yuqing and Gao Doushunai were the same as editors of the Hanlin Academy, and they called each other brothers.

Gao Doushu took Cheng Yuqing's hand and entered the next hall. After sitting down, he smiled bitterly: "What kind of style is still the same, and it is embarrassing to the court. Is Zhijiang County still affiliated with Jingzhou Prefecture?"

Cheng Yuqing laughed and said, "It does not belong to Jingzhou, but still belongs to Jingmen? Zhijiang has a lot of money for fortune, and they are all handed over to Jingzhou Prefecture. From this point of view, Brother Xiangxian should be content. Unlike me, when the summer tax and autumn tax come, I am so worried that I can't sleep all night. None of the counties below can worry about it!"

Gao Doushu was obviously dissatisfied with Cheng Yuqing's laughter and sneered: "Brother Zhiwen is here to see you today for a joke?"

"How dare! How dare!" Cheng Yuqing said repeatedly, "The two brothers are now sympathetic and should work together! Lin Chunhong, who was entrusted with a famous deputy general, was actually a thief of the court. At the beginning, he sent troops into Dangyang without even saying hello, and was arrogant and domineering. He must not just swallow this aura!"

Cheng Yuqing was filled with righteous indignation. When he was excited, he clenched his teeth, wishing he could drink his blood and eat his flesh.

Gao Doushu sighed: "It doesn't matter if you just breathe! Didn't Brother Zhiwen see Ma Shiqi's tragic situation? The decent imperial official was bullied by Lin Chunhong so hard that he didn't even dare to breathe. He was worried about his brother. Ma Shiqi is the portrayal of our brothers in a few years!"

Ma Shiqi was the magistrate of Zhijiang County. After taking office, he was ruled by Lin Chunhong and did not dare to take another step and say another sentence.

Cheng Yuqing said with hatred: "It's a pity that Tang Hui actually pretended to be deaf and was almost wearing a pair of pants with Lin Chunhong!"

Gao Doushu sneered: "What are you afraid of just Tang Hui? What are you really afraid of is the more than 10,000 elite soldiers under Lin Chunhong's command and the omnipresent Military Information Department! Brother Zhiwen recalled that when he entered the government office today, were there a few idle people following him? That was Lin Chunhong's minions!"

Cheng Yuqing frowned and carefully recalled the details of entering the city. For a moment, he was heartbroken and said tremblingly: "Is this Lin Chunhong ready to rebel?"

Gao Doushu snorted coldly and said, "Rebellion? This kid is not so brave yet! Therefore, he covers everything up and hides his eyes and ears with a high-sounding name! When this kid was appointed Zhijiang Dianshi, he used the excuse of suppressing bandits, raising private soldiers, and using the excuse of making things convenient for villagers, opening warehouses everywhere and collecting people's fat and ointment."

Cheng Yuqing opened his mouth wide, as if listening to ancient legends, "This kid is so arrogant, why didn't Brother Xiangxian collect evidence to report to the court?"

"This kid is the pillar of the country! What's the use of evidence? The pillar of the country... Haha, the big joke in the world! Donglin people, for the benefit of the party, will sooner or later support this kid, and sooner or later, will cause trouble to the court!"

Gao Doushu's laughter was shrill, which made Cheng Yuqing, who was beside him stunned.

After a long time, Cheng Yuqing said resolutely: "When this boy stretched his claws into Jingzhou and Jingmen, we two brothers must not sit and wait for death. We have to give up our bodies and fight with him to seek life in death! It's a pity that Tong Shiyan, like a dog, shook his tail and beg for mercy in front of that boy. If the three of them are united, the chances of victory will be higher!"

Gao Doushu shook his head and said, "This is not a mistake for Tong Shiyan. Yiling Prefecture City has five points of territory and two parts of it belong to Lin Chunhong. Yidu County suffered a military disaster, and Lin Chunhong's private soldiers could not be occupied. In addition, the bandits went south and threatened Yiling. What else would Tong Shiyan do besides asking Lin Chunhong to send troops? Brother Zhiwen is right. If you don't fight hard at this time, your career path will come to an end."

Cheng Yuqing nodded and asked, "What are the countermeasures for Brother Xiangxian?"

"Give him the way he is to treat him!" Gao Doushu gritted his teeth and spit out ten words word by word, with a hideous face, as if he wanted to swallow Cheng Yuqing beside him.

Cheng Yuqing couldn't help but leaned against the back of the chair to avoid Gao Doushu's murderous eyes and asked, "Does Brother Xiangxian want to form a archer and fight with Lin Chunhong?"

"It's not easy to fight together? Lin Chunhong has more than ten thousand elite troops, countless big and small battles. Even the emperor knows his reputation as good at fighting, and it's hard for us to catch up. I'm not thinking about my brother for this long. The most important thing at the moment is to block Lin Chunhong's claws extending towards Jingzhou and Jingmen!"

"In the name of forming archers, stop Lin Chunhong from forming archers in the two palaces?"

Gao Doushu nodded and said, "That's right! But the archers of the two palaces must be formed. The Ming Dynasty wars are everywhere. It's not clear when the bandits will run to Jingmen and Jingzhou. If we can't resist the bandits ourselves and have to beg this kid at that time, then we two brothers will be done!"

Cheng Yuqing pondered for a long time and said, "It is the right thing to form a archer. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Yunyang, took advantage of the situation by recruiting troops. But where did the money and food come from? There are no generals around us who are good at fighting. What should we do?"

Gao Doushu said: "The generals don't have to worry. Long Shixian, the powerful general under Mangui, is now in Jingzhou, who defeated the Tartars, can it be worse?"

Cheng Yuqing exclaimed: "You Shixian was actually taken over by Brother Xiang Xian? It's a happy congratulations!"

Gao Doushu sneered: "As for money and food! Humph, Lin Chunhong used his money to deceive the villagers into joining the archers. Do we need it? We represent the court. As long as there is a order, all the gentry and villagers will obey. Do you need to be as despicable and shameless as Lin Chunhong?"

Cheng Yuqing was silent in his heart and thought to himself, Gao Doushu thought about military affairs too simple? The bandits did not come to their homes and the villagers did not have real benefits. How could they recruit archers with just one order? Maybe in the end, the local gangsters were filled with disasters, harming the village and becoming a cancer in Jingzhou and Jingmen. But Cheng Yuqing had his own little girl in his heart. He just wanted to stop Lin Chunhong from forming archers in Jingmen. As for how Gao Doushu wanted to do something, he had no interest in accompanying him.

However, as the same year, he still wanted to remind Gao Doushu: "Even if the villagers don't need money to protect the countryside, weapons and armor all require a lot of money. Besides, when going to the battlefield, food and grass should be prepared. These need to be prepared for the future. I hope my brother will think twice beforehand!"

Gao Doushu sneered: "Hehe! All these need to be seized from Lin Chunhonghu's mouth!"

Cheng Yuqing's face changed drastically. It would be fine to stop Lin Chunhong from reaching out, but he also wanted to seize food from the tiger's mouth. Is Gao Doushu crazy?

※※※※※※※※

After Lin Chunhong led his troops back from Kuizhou to Zhijiang, Bangtai was ready to rush to Jingzhou and Jingmen did a big fight. However, what they did not expect was that Lin Chunhong seemed to have forgotten the existence of Jingmen and Jingzhou, and there was no movement for many days. This made Zhou Wang, Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu discuss it slightly, and came to Lin's mansion together to try to persuade Lin Chunhong.

At this time, Lin Chunhong was preparing to announce *yin in the daytime, but was interrupted by the guard's report. He hurriedly ordered Cui Yuer to avoid it, and then ordered the three of them to come in.

Looking at Zhou Wang, Zhang Daohan and Zhu Zhiyu wanted to speak but stopped Lin Chunhong couldn't help but feel funny, and at the same time he was very satisfied. The three people who were as powerful as water and fire could work together, which shows that the efforts of the past few days were not in vain.

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Are you three coming for Jingzhou and Jingmen?"

Zhu Zhiyu glanced at Zhang Daohan and saw Zhang Daohan looking at his mouth and nose, looking at his heart, looking in a state of meditation. Zhu Zhiyu shook his head slightly, stepped forward, and said, "We and the three of us are here for the future of Bangtai. After the general sent Qu Shisi away, he had not yet taken a step out of the Lin Mansion. Zhiyu wanted to ask the general what he was doing!"

Lin Chunhong was embarrassed and had long thrown his other thoughts to Java and said embarrassedly: "It's just a matter of dealing with some writing!"

Zhu Zhiyu did not give Lin Chunhong any affection, and squirted: "If the general is only satisfied with handling the writing, where will he place millions of people?"

Lin Chunhong's face turned red, and he was about to turn around and take out a stack of papers. When Zhang Daohan bowed, he said, "General, Bang Tai is far from lying down and sleeping. Donglin and others are determined to control me. Secret arrows from the court come one after another... If you don't take the opportunity to control Jingmen and Jingzhou, where can you find such a good opportunity in the future?"

As a father-in-law, Zhou Wang certainly didn't want Lin Chunhong to hang out with his concubine every day, but among the three, he was the least suitable for persuasion. When he saw Lin Chunhong, he tried to change the topic and hurriedly said, "Does the general have some decisions about Jingmen and Jingzhou?"

Zhu Zhiyu did not care about Zhou Wang's intention to smooth things over, and continued to snorkeling: "What is the need for a decision? Zhijiang's experience is here. Zhiyu asked the general to immediately order the formation of archers in Jingmen, Jingzhou, and choose a village to set up a cargo warehouse. For time, Jianghan is not an empty talk!"

After saying that, Zhu Zhiyu took out a detailed plan to control the countryside in the name of a warehouse from his sleeve and handed it to Lin Chunhong. Seeing this, Zhou Wang also handed over the plan to form a archer.

Lin Chunhong explained his embarrassment a little, and took over two sets of plans and read them carefully.

After a cup of tea, Lin Chunhong closed the plan and said, "Well, it's very detailed. According to this case, it's still acceptable to spend more than 240,000 taels of silver in a year. But there is one thing that people are now scattered to Yiling tribe, and the goods warehouses are all over Jingmen and Jingzhou. How can Bangtai have so many suitable people?"

Zhang Daohan reminded: "Did the general forget the recruitment of officials? Jingmen and Jingzhou have a population of more than one million, so it is no problem to recruit many people. If you throw them into the Bangtai Business Company for several months, you can do things at least. Gu Xiuxing and Ni Xinze, the capable personnel, aren't they all from recruiting officials?"

Lin Chunhong sighed and asked, "Are you so sure that Gao Doushu and Cheng Yuqing will be like dead people, let us do what we do?"

The three of them looked at each other, "This... is responsible for defense, establishing archers and setting up a warehouse, and the Ming Dynasty law does not stipulate that business will not be allowed. What reason does Gao Doushu and Cheng Yuqing have to object?"

Lin Chunhong said: "There is no reason on the surface, and I guess the two of them will use their hands and feet secretly. In the past few days, I have thought about it and felt that starting from the warehouse and the archer was not the best solution."

After saying that, Lin Chunhong turned around and picked up a thick stack of paper on the desk, handed it to the three of them, and said, "I have a plan, and I still need three to help me think about it..."

The three of them took the proposal and hurriedly read it. Zhu Zhiyu looked ashamed and bowed to apologize: "Zhiyu misunderstood the general, and I hope the general will be forgiven!"

Zhang Daohan and Zhou Wang also apologized immediately.

Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "I am happy that the three of you are dedicated to your work and are brave enough to make suggestions. I don't have to worry. When you were in war, you always felt that you should not be led by the enemy. Now you should be so. Our experience in Zhijiang is well known. How can Gao Doushu and Cheng Yuqing be cunning? How can they not be guarded against? We should do our own things and take the initiative in everything."

Zhu Zhiyu sighed and said, "It is unprecedented for Zhiyu to deal with government affairs with military tactics, so the general is the first!"

"What a precedent! Zhu Muzeng praised it. Military geniuses have existed since ancient times, but everyone just didn't pay attention."

As the four were talking, they suddenly received an urgent report: Gao Doushu and Cheng Yuqing announced almost at the same time in Jingzhou and Jingmen that they would form archers in Keqi to protect the safety of the village and prevent the invasion of the bandits.

Zhang Daohan, Zhu Zhiyu and Zhou Wang were shocked and looked at Lin Chunhong with incredible eyes, almost unable to believe their ears. After a long time, the three of them bowed: "The general is like a god, and I can't wait..."

Lin Chunhong laughed and said, "Without the assistance of the three, I will sit at home. How can I know what is happening outside the window? The three must not belittle themselves. Wang Liangquan and Dai Zhe are all experts here, and this time they should also use their strengths. Zhu Muzhi and the scholars from Xingzhishu Hall try to send them out as much as possible this time. How can we do things if we don't see the world?"

Lin Chunhong paused and continued to instruct: "This plan must be perfected. The Pavilion has to be all night long these days. Also, let Zheng Tiancheng make a good budget, this time it is a big deal, more than one million taels of silver..."
