Chapter 144 White Lotus (1)
"I have explained everything about the White Lotus."
Lu Xiangsheng looked around the generals in the hall and said loudly: "When I was talking about these things, the Jinyiwei Office condemned people and rushed to Beijing to submit the matter to the imperial front.
In response to this incident of traversing in many places, spreading rumors, bewitching the people, and trying to take advantage of the disasters caused by Zhili and Shandong, and trying to make a mistake, what should we do?”
The generals and schoolmen of Tianxiong Army gathered in this hall had different expressions. When they looked at each other, they did not expect that they would rush to Baoding to work with their governors. Before they could sit firmly, they would have caused such a thing.
White lotus, under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, is definitely a taboo existence.
When dealing with people who believe in white lotus, whether they are the central court or the local government, they have always been firm in their attitude. They will kill as much as they find out.
This is like a leek. If you don’t dig the roots, it will not take long to grow again, and the momentum will be even worse than before.
Thinking about how much harm the Xu Hongru uprising in the Tianqi Dynasty caused to the Ming Dynasty.
"From the current situation, the North Zhili and even Shandong are not the nest of this group of white lotus thieves." Lu Xiangjin walked forward and said seriously.
"As far as the situation was found out by the Jinyiwei, this group of white lotus thieves took root in Kaifeng and Guide, and used the convenience of the Yellow River to preach the so-called doctrines to deceive local people.
This happened to happen in Zhili and Shandong, which suddenly caused a disaster, which gave the White Lotus thieves the opportunity.
If the court made any mistakes in disaster relief, or even caused a surge in public grievances, then this group of White Lotus thieves would definitely wander around in many places, incite the people's hearts, and make plans for ill-behavior."
"You don't need to think about disaster relief."
Lu Xiangsheng waved his hand and said, "I believe that the court knows the local disaster and will definitely raise funds for disaster relief. In Shandong, I cannot manage it.
However, the disaster-stricken prefectures under Zhili will do their best to provide disaster relief and maintain stability.
But in this case, Benfu cannot easily leave Zhili realm. Compared with the little white lotus thieves that appear in Damingfu and other places, the white lotus thieves in Henan are the key."
Lu Xiangsheng was the governor of Zhili, not the governor of Zhili. He only had Zhili in his jurisdiction, not the military and political affairs of Henan and Shandong.
According to Emperor Chongzhen's idea, the Ming Dynasty had too many governors in the local area, and there were even multiple governors under the rule of the government.
Perhaps such establishment is for checks and balances between each other and to restrict border towns, but the current Ming Dynasty is no longer the same as the previous Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Chongzhen wanted to take a new path, a path that was conducive to centralization, separation of military and political affairs, and checks and balances between civil and military affairs.
Emperor Chongzhen, the governor and the governor, would gradually remove him from the border officials with more powerful powers as time goes by.
The privileges of the Daming civil servant group can be gradually returned to a reasonable and normal category, rather than to provide disaster relief or to quell the rebellion.
However, if you want to do this well, the premise is that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Zhili, can sit firmly on the official chair under his butt, so that Beizhili can gradually develop.
If Emperor Chongzhen could not really control the only basic structure, and if there was more stable territory in this disaster-stricken world, then any clever plan would be a fantasy and empty talk.
"So my Fu's idea was that the Tianxiong Army left 10,000 and followed my Fu to Daming Mansion and other places. During the early disaster relief, he took out the White Lotus thieves."
Lu Xiangsheng continued: "The remaining troops of the Tianxiong Army went forward to Henan, and in the name of the Jinyiwei, they were responsible for capturing the White Lotus thieves who had taken root here, and strived to completely uproot the remnants of the White Lotus.
If necessary, the remnants of Bailian under Shandong's ruler would cause rebellion and would cross the river and go to Shandong to assist Shandong Governor Yuan Keli and suppress Bailian!"
Li Ruolian, who had been listening to what Lu Xiangsheng said, had a strange look in his eyes. This Zhili Governor Lu Xiangsheng is not simple.
The difficulty in completely suppressing the remnants of Bailian is that it is not a single place. It is available in Zhili, Henan, Shandong, and Zhili and Shandong have caused disasters, but Bailian's nest is still in Henan.
Joint suppression in many places?
Stop making trouble!
Who will listen to this?
If there were no disasters caused by Zhili and Shandong, it would be easier.
Lu Xiangsheng just led his troops.
Anyway, his main matter at the moment is to gain political reputation by using the suppression of the White Lotus incident to firmly hold the position of governor of Zhili.
But now that there is a drought under Zhili's rule, he, a nominal governor of Zhili, cannot leave the country easily, which is also illegal.
'But Lu Xiangsheng is so sure that the military power he scattered will not be completely dispersed in the suppression of Bailian?' Li Ruolian narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Lu Xiangsheng, and thought secretly: 'Another battle in another place, life
If he is not familiar with him, how sure is he that the Tianxiong Army sent can really find out the White Lotus thieves?'
Unlike the army in later generations, the current Ming army simply wanted to eat enough, but due to reality, they could only carry guns and serve as soldiers.
They have no noble thoughts.
However, the new troops created by Emperor Chongzhen, such as the Tianxiong Army, the Zhongyong Army, and the Yongweiying Army, have relatively some shadows of later generations.
It is impossible to do 100%.
According to Emperor Chongzhen's estimate, can it be 20% the same?
"In view of the complexity of this matter, in order to ensure that the suppression of Bailian can be successful." Lu Xiangsheng stood up, looked at the generals and schoolmen in front of him with cold eyes, and said aloud.
"The first peace decided to belong to the region, Guide was one part, Kaifeng was one part, Lu Xiangjin, Zhou Wengong was the main general, Shen Changhai was also selected, and Ren Jitang was the deputy general of the supervisor.
The county under the rule of the two prefectures will be subdivided into the heads and generals of each division and the deputy generals of the supervision. They will submit military reports to the Daming Prefecture in two days. If the deadline is exceeded or concealed, they will betray the Ming Dynasty.
During this period, the county's purge was over, and the troops from the headquarters were immediately returned to the camp.
If the White Lotus thieves are escaping, they will be arrested by the chief department, and one person fled. If the person is not arrested or cleared, the chief general and the deputy general of the supervision will be punished according to military law.
This Fu clearly tells you that this is a battle, a battle between Zhili, Henan and Shandong. Will there be a rebellious battle?
Who dares to miss the opportunity to fight or lead to the rebellion? This is a pacifier who will be killed by the Tianxiong Army's military rules!
If you need to send troops to Shandong, the Fuhui Association will select elite troops to send troops, and you will hear this order clearly.”
Li Ruolian: "..."
What Lu Xiangsheng said made Li Ruolian shocked. He never thought that Lu Xiangsheng would issue military orders in this way. Isn’t this just a disguised responsibility for defending the territory?
