Chapter nine hundred and sixty-eight chapter letter persuasion

After the armistice with France, Xinming's military power was mainly in the south, which was close to the direction of the Spanish power. However, compared with Spain, France was still the most powerful enemy of Xinming. However, after the last war, the two sides had no idea of ​​continuing to go to war. After the sphere of influence was divided during the negotiations, each operating its own territory. In addition to having garrison troops on the border, there was no tit-for-tat military setting, which also avoided conflicts.

From this point of view, Xinming has stopped continuing to expand madly outside and instead digested it internally. Yin Xiong's troops are Xinming's cavalry unit, which has now increased from the initial regiment to five regiments, and the cavalry's power is strong, which is more suitable for Xinming with a vast territory.

Three of these five cavalry regiments are located in the east, southeast and south to deal with emergencies. The other two regiments are directly affiliated with the Governor's Office, mainly responsible for controlling the internal areas of Xinming and solving some military issues.

The regiment under Yin Xiong is one of the direct cavalry regiments. He is currently responsible for the task of incorporating and expelling tribes. With the improvement of Xinming's internal affairs, Xinming's control over local Indian tribes has become stronger and stronger. In addition, the needs of agriculture, mining, roads, and cities have set up demands. The way Indian tribes that had been living by nomads have begun to change. In order to better manage and naturalize these tribes, Xinming has taken tough measures against Indian tribes that are still conservative and unwilling to naturalize.

"From this year to now, our department has forcibly contained, merged, moved 15 tribes, and expelled 3 tribes. There are two other tribes who have even sent people to attack our soldiers because of their stubbornness. They were directly swept away by our department. The remaining part has fled eastward..."

Although Yin Xiong was an Indian, he had no psychological burden when he said this. Instead, he looked proud when he talked about sweeping out the two tribes.

In Yin Xiong's case, he has long been a Ming people today, and the Indian tribe has become history. Now, not only him, but also his family, and the first batch of naturalized Indians like him, have long abandoned their original identities. Whether in terms of dressing or words, or even from inner recognition, they regard themselves as Ming people.

Let’s not talk about the others, let’s talk about Yin Xiong’s cavalry regiment. There are not many real Ming people in his regiment, most of them are naturalized Ming people like Yin Xiong. After rigorous training, these naturalized soldiers who were originally excellent in riding skills were brave and good at fighting. In addition to the standard weapons and firearms in their hands, their combat effectiveness was extremely strong.

In addition, these people's understanding of the Indian tribes is not comparable to that of ordinary Ming army. It is more convenient in terms of customs, language, communication, etc. This is also the reason why Pan Mengyuan specially handed these tasks to Yin Xiong, and Yin Xiong also proved with practical actions that Pan Mengyuan's decision was correct.

"How are the casualties in the troops?" Ma Changbao couldn't help but ask.

Ma Changbao is Yin Xiong's old commander, and now he is the commander of all cavalry units. Yin Xiong immediately talked about the casualties of the troops. When he heard that the casualties of the cavalry units were extremely small, everyone present showed joy.

"Good job!" Pan Mengyuan nodded with relief. This sentence made Yin Xiong's face look happy and his waist was straighter.

"The tribes in this area have been wiped out. Let's look at the placement of the Civil Affairs Office. You have no problems here, right?" Pan Mengyuan asked with a smile at the official sitting in the lower head of the left. The other party immediately said that there was no problem. He had already prepared the Civil Affairs Office. After the military operation was completed, he could follow up immediately.

"It's still the same rule. First build the city, then develop in all directions with the city as the center." Pan Mengyuan said with a final say. His words made everyone nodded repeatedly. Then everyone continued to express their opinions on the city construction. After an hour, the meeting was announced and they left.

"Brother Zhang?" Everyone left, but Zhang Han did not leave and stayed directly. Seeing him like this, Pan Mengyuan immediately turned his eyes to him in confusion, as if asking him what was wrong.

Zhang Han was a civil affairs official in Xinming. Although he was only the prefect of Pingyi City, in fact, due to the rapid expansion of Xinming, the officials in Xinming are now all low and high. In addition to the original position of prefect, Zhang Han is also responsible for the management of six cities including Pingyi City. This number is still increasing. In addition to the civil affairs of various places and the scope of the jurisdiction, in fact, he is almost the same as the governor of a local province.

"The Grand Marshal has worked hard and made great contributions in recent years. He has suppressed France in the east, suppressed Spain in the south, expanded territory in the north, and ping Tu people in the inner world. It is precisely because of the Grand Marshal's plan. My new Ming land is booming..."

Before Zhang Han finished speaking, Pan Mengyuan waved his hand and said dissatisfied: "Brother Zhang is not the one who met me just now. Although you and I have been your superiors over the years, Brother Zhang has helped me a lot. You should know what kind of temper I am. Xinming was handed over to me by the emperor back then, so I naturally wanted to open this territory for my Ming Dynasty and the emperor. Everything I did was just for the Ming Dynasty. How could I talk about hard work and great contributions? Everything was just my duty. I am afraid that Brother Zhang said this today, I am afraid that Brother Zhang's own intention? Just say anything bluntly. Could it be that I am a man who can't listen to good words?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Han suddenly burst into laughter when he heard Pan Mengyuan say this, and shook his head and said, "The Grand Marshal is the Grand Marshal. It is admirable to be humble. Since that's the case, then Zhang said bluntly."

Speaking of this, Zhang Han was serious and said directly: "It has been several years since I landed in Xinming since the Ming Dynasty. From the original Wanghai City to the present, the Ming Dynasty has expanded its territory in Xinming, which is a pleasing experience. Although the road to the east has not yet made progress due to the French country, it is not easy to capture a thousand miles of land in the north. Now, the territory of Xinming is nearly half of the local area, and the population is more than ten million. Among them, the number of people from the Ming Dynasty has exceeded one million. As for the cities everywhere, the new city will be newly built like mushrooms after a rain. After today's meeting, the new city will rise again, but has the Grand Marshal ever thought that the city is easy to build, but there are many things to follow. Not to mention the others, it is just this official..."

"I have considered the issue of officials. I will not hide it from Brother Zhang. I have sent letters to the local government. The court will send officials to come one after another, so it will definitely not delay local affairs." Hearing this, Pan Mengyuan spoke.

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "The Grand Marshal misunderstood. What I am talking about is not this matter, but the Grand Marshal's affairs."

Pan Mengyuan was puzzled and didn't understand what Zhang Han said. Zhang Han sighed and said again: "I was a new Ming Dynasty and entered Xinming. No one could have thought of the progress of Xinming. Not only the Grand Marshal, but I am afraid that even the Emperor is the same? But now, my Xinming land is earth-shaking. As the Governor of Xinming, the Grand Marshal naturally knows his hard work and achievements, but the Grand Marshal needs to know one time and another. Now the Grand Marshal commands Xinming military and political integration. Although it is just a governor, he has taken over the power in Xinming, and his power is unattainable. Now, the people and wealth of the people are far greater than that of the local province, and they are far overseas. Does the Grand Marshal have no worries? The Grand Marshal needs to know that he is prepared for danger in times of peace and should be vigilant!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Han stopped and stopped talking. At this time, Pan Mengyuan looked frightened and cold sweat oozed out of his forehead.

"Brother Zhang, is it...?"

Zhang Han shook his head: "This is not, but the great commander's authority is not a good thing according to the lower officials. The lower officials' words today are actually not appropriate. However, the lower officials have been with the high commander for many years, but they can't bear to see the high commander go astray. Even if the high commander has no intention of his heart, some things are not something that the high commander can decide. Once that time comes, I'm afraid the high commander will never have a way out..."
