Chapter 1441
In an unoccupied mansion on the outskirts of London, Ying Ming welcomed Tang Xianzu to the seat of honor, but Tang Xianzu refused in various ways.

But in the end, he couldn't resist Ying Ming's repeated pleas, and sat down the two chairs side by side.

"Mr. Tang must have doubts in his heart along the way. It seems that the military government is valuing martial arts over literature, but it is not the case. It is true that there are very few talented people under the command of the commander. There are no one available in poor overseas villages."

The ghost in Tang Xianzu's heart seems to be falling into the clouds like a dream, one foot is deep and the other is shallow, and he nods in response to Ming's words. In his mouth, he added a few more words about the news of the Eastern Military Government.

He replied: "People in China really have limited understanding of overseas affairs."

But to be honest, Tang Xianzu liked the overseas situation very much. On the way with Zou Yuanbiao, the civil and military style and the attitude of the people he saw were different from those in China.

Zou Yuanbiao was also a Jinshi known as a child prodigy back then. He served as the county magistrate in Changsheng for several years, and he respected and admired the military officer very much in words; Ping Ailan and Yingyi with outstanding military exploits.

But I didn't expect such a young person to look quite polite.

This may be a common feature of the low-level officers of the Eastern Military Government. They are not as highly educated as the officials of the Weisuo, but they are not as vulgar and stubborn as the fighters who have won the official position through military exploits.

"The commander-in-chief has a letter here, saying that you are a well-known celebrity in the country, and ordered me to cooperate sincerely with Mr. Tang. I am a few years younger than you, and I pretend to be your elder brother. I should have welcomed my elder brother into the city at this time, but There are certain things that must be said before you take office."

Tang Xianzu nodded one after another, he knew that the civil and military relations overseas were different from those at home, and said: "Don't worry, general, I have been a county magistrate in Muye for a year, and I know a little about military affairs."

As a matter of fact, as long as you have been in China or abroad for a while, you will naturally understand the relationship between civil and military affairs. At home, you rely on civil officials to govern, and the dependence on military officials is slightly less.

Originally, they are as tall as people who don't ask for others, but after all, military officers are rare in local wars. They have to go through civil officials for everything, and they always ask others to do things. This sense of restraint naturally comes out.

Overseas, this piece of land was laid down by the military officer, and many senior officials had to rely on the military officer's nose, and if they didn't pay attention to it, they would lose their land. The military officer's status is naturally very high.

Even a few ministers, you said they are civil servants are right, but Chen Mu and Chen Lin are both famous veterans who led the army to fight the rebellion. Ping to the West.

"London has encountered several wars before, and the city has repeatedly fought with the enemy. So far, there are still more than [-] Charles remnants in the inner city defending. During this period, artillery, rockets, and bombing the city have been used."

Ying Ming looked at Tang Xianzu and continued, "Originally there were [-] people in the city, but because our military supplies and supplies were shipped from the East, and the journey was far away, I scattered all the people in the city outside the city, and sent troops to supervise them to reorganize the farms. "

He was a little embarrassed. In fact, he said so much because he wanted to express something to Tang Xianzu: the city of London was smashed by me.

Tang Xianzu also felt a 'plop' in his heart, and he was half cold.

The road he came from outside the city was already full of devastation. There were many farmhouses burned and collapsed on the roadside, and the fields and wheat seedlings were trampled. Now Yingming took him outside the city and told him what the city looked like. It's still bad outside the city, brother must be mentally prepared.

Tang Xianzu was still a little lucky, and asked: "Then did the commander mention in the letter the appointment of the county magistrates, magistrates, magistrates, and Dian Shi under the London government?"

"The commander-in-chief specifically said that." Ying Ming nodded and raised his hand, patting his chest and said, "Don't worry, brother, the commander asked us to coordinate, divide the surrounding counties into counties, and then appoint special personnel, requiring one in London and seven in the surrounding areas. "

"In terms of personnel appointment, there is no limit to the commander-in-chief, only because England is different from the East, so non-Ming officials are not allowed to serve as officials. The subordinate officials are those who are immigrants from the Ming Dynasty. English."

The other half of Tang Xianzu's heart also went cold.

When you go out to be a magistrate, all the subordinates rely on picking up.

If you can't pick up locals, it's even more difficult.

Seeing Tang Xianzu's embarrassment, Ying Ming was not surprised by this, and said with relief: "You don't have to worry about it, England has one or two thousand immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, mostly in Puli; .”

"There is also a Legion in Spain. In Westminster Abbey alone, there are many veterans who need to be retired due to war injuries. These people can be chosen by you."

"Government servants, errands, and inspections, they are veterans who have experienced many wars, and they are the most handy." As Ying Ming said, he was also happy. This is his wish. Much better."

"When you arrived in Changsheng, wouldn't there be a lot of waste there?"

The truth is true, but Tang Xianzu inevitably felt the weight of the mission on his shoulders, and even felt that the burden on his shoulders was even heavier in response to Ying Ming's words.

What's so good about this England, but compared with Changsheng, the five counties of Dongzhou back then were supported by the Ming Dynasty Beijing Games twice a year for a full three years, and he didn't get that much support in England.

But complaining is useless, people still have to fulfill themselves, Tang Xianzu sighed, cheered up and said: "I also ask the general, the land of Benzhou today, the radius, the people, the land, the taxation... good."

Tang Xianzu was halfway through speaking, looking at the blank expression on Ying Ming's face, he heard him say: Let me show you a map.

Ying Ming doesn't even know whether England should be called Puzhou or London House. The environment changes with the war, and the orders from the military government are delayed by several months due to the sea route. in the self-government.

That is to say, in this place where the people are used to being savages, there are a large number of battalions sent by Muye stationed everywhere, otherwise they will have to mess up.

Ying Ming's personal soldiers carried the map with them at all times, but after a while they spread it out on the ground, pointing to the map to let Tang Xianzu see the land he had laid down, and said: "There are more detailed maps in Westminster Abbey, we will wait later When we went into the city to see, the natives only practiced the art of building temples, and they built them extremely well."

Tang Xianzu was not interested in temples, but he was already used to the drawing style of the Eastern Banner Army. After watching it for a while, he knew what was going on, nodded and said, "Then let's go, we should look at the scale map of the military mansion, so that we can roughly calculate its location. Fangyuan."

"There is a long way to go. It is impossible for anyone to make clear plans for Dingkou and Tianmu."

He already had a general idea of ​​how to do these things in his mind. First, he selected officials such as the magistrate and magistrate from London, and then they recruited manpower and recruited all the clerks. .

Once these two things are settled, the rest will be easy.

　Good afternoon, I got up late today.
