Chapter 352 Big Tree (Please Subscribe)

Jia Huan led three thousand Qingqi to gallop along the canal, from the north where the north wind was blowing, to the warm spring-like southwest, which took him a full twenty days.

There are almost no stops along the way, and logistical support is handled by local governments along the way.

That's it. When we got to the place, we were so exhausted that we fell asleep in a miserable state.

Of course, Jia Huan's condition is as good as ever and has not been affected by the long journey.

At this time, his physical fitness has reached a very surprising level.

Relying on physical fitness alone, he can compete with those martial arts masters who are successful in practicing Zhenqi martial arts, which shows how strong his own physical fitness is!

When you arrive at a place, you naturally need to understand the specific conditions around you!

Fortunately, this is the junction area between the area controlled by the imperial court and the southwest region, so order has not completely collapsed.

Although the local officials hesitated and tried to hide it, Jia Huan was not blind!

If you just walk around the streets, you can see arrogant and domineering green-skinned gangsters harassing the people, as well as fierce but decadent military men who are freeloaders.

The streets are deserted, and the faces of passers-by are sad, as if life is overwhelmed!

"Why didn't the Yamen come forward to scare Xiao Xiao?"

Jia Huan glanced at the boss of the local government office with a rather unhappy tone.

In this environment, how could the soldiers rest peacefully?

Although the troops of Qianxiang Kingdom entered the southwest territory, they were still quite far away from here.

"The general doesn't know something about this!"

Seeing Jia Huan's unkind attitude, the boss of the local yamen laughed bitterly, walked up to Jia Huan and whispered: "There are many defeated soldiers living here, and they are all very unruly. It is not easy for the yamen to manage them forcefully!"

"Where are the local garrison troops, are they all dead?"

Jia Huan said dissatisfied: "It's just a group of defeated troops who have become frightened. Can't they be captured or expelled?"

Seeing that the local government boss just shook his head, he suddenly reacted.

The saying that the mountains are high and the emperor is far away is no joke.

If it were placed in Zhili territory, even if Jia Huan was dissatisfied with the local government, he would not be able to directly reprimand him.

Do you really think it’s a joke for the civil service group to become bigger?

Although those civil servants were not as arrogant as in the Song and Ming Dynasties, they did not pay much attention to generals, let alone generals like Jia Huan.

But this is the southwest!

Before, Prince Nan'an was an out-and-out local emperor here!

The imperial court's majesty here is insufficient, and the Prince of Nan'an relies heavily on his 100,000 troops, so the army's voice in the southwest is not low.

Besides, if you really provoke someone with a knife, once you get angry, no matter whether you wear an official hat or are an official of the imperial court, stabbing you to death will not cause too much trouble.

The so-called poor mountains and poor waters refer to the southwest!

Likewise, Jia Huan opened his mouth to rebuke the local government boss for his inaction, but the other party did not dare to show any obvious dissatisfaction, but instead had to explain carefully.

It is estimated that this is one of the main reasons why those officials are not willing to come to the southwest to serve as officials.

Without the prestige in the Central Plains region, and being suppressed by large-scale soldiers, and the environment is very harsh, naturally they are not willing to come and endure hardship!

"Forget it, I can help clean up and maintain the public order here!"

Waving his hand, Jia Huan said directly: "However, in terms of providing food and grass supplies and recruiting civilians, the Yamen cannot retreat, otherwise this general will not agree!"

The local government boss was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and nodded in agreement.

Obviously, this guy didn't expect Jia Huan to be so easy to talk to, and he was even willing to help himself!

If possible, he would of course be willing to clean up the streets and let those arrogant and lawless people feel the 'kind greetings' from the Yamen.

However, it has always been difficult to do it before, and it has been hindered in all aspects.

Local tyrants, defeated military leaders, powerful Jianghu gangs, and many other things are not easy to mess with. They are all very overbearing and overbearing.

The key is that the local government does not have enough force to deter, and this is the most fatal thing!

Of course, this is the situation here in the southwest border. If it were placed in the hinterland of the Central Plains, no matter how strong the local forces were, they would not dare to act so unscrupulously and boldly.

Jia Huan didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he directly mobilized his men to mount Qingqi.

It just so happens that there are many martial arts masters among the personal guards around me!

They may not be very skilled in battle formations, but it is still very easy and simple to deal with the green-skinned gangsters on the street and the broken troops who are fleeing here. Are they professional counterparts?

Suddenly, the originally chaotic county town was filled with screams and screams.

In the temporary camp of Jia Huan's headquarters outside the city, a lot of green-skinned gangsters were imprisoned for a while, as well as the southwestern troops who were fairly well-trained.

After these guys enter the military camp, it will not be so easy to escape.

Jia Huan directly carried out labor reform on them, and at the same time organized them into criminal camps and used them as engineering troops accompanying the army.

Whether it is setting up temporary camps, building bridges and paving roads in a short period of time, moving and consigning logistics materials, or even temporarily acting as soldiers, they are indispensable for any hard work and dangerous work.

Such harsh measures will naturally arouse dissatisfaction and anger from local forces!

Soon, local snakes came to the door in the name of labor force, hoping that Jia Huan would not be so harsh.

"The situation in the southwest is currently chaotic, and local order is showing signs of collapse!"

Jia Huan's answer was very relaxed: "Under such circumstances, it is normal to use heavy hand and heavy code!"

He almost said, 'Use heavy codes in troubled times', but he also knew that these words were difficult to say.

The current Daqian is far from reaching this level!

But just the excuse to gather the defeated troops is enough to silence others!

Here in the southwest, big fists are the last word, and this is quite obvious!

Jia Huan just expressed his dissatisfaction, and immediately frightened the local snake who took the initiative to intercede, and did not dare to do anything rashly again.

For no other reason, the pressure that the three thousand Qingqi brought to them was too great.

Especially these three thousand light cavalry, who had just experienced the Northwest War and fought fiercely with tens of thousands of barbarian cavalry outside the Great Wall, all of them had a strong killing aura.

That's no joke!

Although the folk customs here in the southwest are strong and fierce, compared with the killing spirit condensed by the blood of the army, the deterrent effect is naturally much worse, and there is no way to compare.

Not to mention, just two days after Jia Huan's troops were temporarily stationed for rest, the main force of Jia Cong's troops, who had already arrived earlier, quickly came to meet with them, making their deterrence even stronger.

If Jia Huan had not yet used his iron-blooded methods, the three thousand Qingqi under his command would only be scary. The three thousand troops under Jia Cong's command were a real deterrent.

Don’t forget what Jia Cong’s department relied on to make his fortune!

Whenever they come to a place, their first targets are the local bandits and bandits!

These bandits are more or less related to the powerful local landlords.

Or, it's simply a 'black glove' placed secretly by local tyrants!

Jia Cong's department has already gained experience in suppressing bandits. The methods used to deal with bandits are flexible and varied, and they can always achieve results of varying sizes.

There were many powerful locals who were implicated, so they were quite afraid of Jia Cong's troops.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for almost a year, so naturally they miss each other very much and are very enthusiastic!

During the Chinese New Year last year, Jia Cong did not return to the capital because he had a mission.

After the Chinese New Year, he has been stationed in Nanyang area to intimidate Xiaoxiao from the two lakes!

Originally, we had made preparations to enter Jiangnan, but who knew that something unexpected happened in the southwest. Now that there was no better choice, we had to send Jia Cong to come first.

Previously, Jia Cong was reminded by Jia Huan to be very cautious when entering the southwest boundary!

Due to the harsh environment in the southwest and the continuous mountains, Jia Cong's troops arrived in the southwest half a month in advance, but the progress can only be said to be a little bit.

Unexpectedly, Jia Huan came over with three thousand Qingqi.

Jia Cong was naturally overjoyed. After arranging all the affairs, he immediately came with his main force to meet with Jia Huan's men, intending to have a good fight in the southwest.

This guy has long been itchy about Jia Huan's Fengguang in the northwest frontier.

I originally thought that he had taken the first step and was quickly promoted to a third-level guerrilla general due to his merits. It would take a short time, at least several years, for Jia Huan to catch up.

Unexpectedly, Jia Huan ignored common sense and was promoted one after another based on military merit. He was suddenly promoted to the rank of third-rank general and became one of the military leaders in the southwest.

It is impossible not to be jealous and envious, but more importantly, I am happy and happy.

For no other reason, Jia Cong's time in the army was not short. I have some understanding of some situations in the Daqian Army, and at the same time I feel some overt or covert suppression and hostility.

If he hadn't been leading the army all the time, he would have been involved in internal disputes in the army.

Due to habit and personality factors, he doesn't like fighting with others, and he's not good at it either!

In the past, when he was in the martial arts gym, Jia Huan helped him create a peaceful space, which allowed him to concentrate on studying, practicing martial arts and improving himself.

But since he led the troops to suppress the bandits, Jia Huan was still a white man, so it was naturally impossible for him to protect him from the wind and rain.

Some of the open and covert attacks from colleagues had to be dealt with by myself. I really didn't adapt to and didn't like this environment. Even if I had the evil fire in my heart, I couldn't vent it rashly.

Only then did he realize how happy it was to have a big tree supporting him.

Fortunately, Jia Huan didn't keep him waiting long, but he took off in just two years.

Now that he had directly become his immediate superior, Jia Cong not only did not show any signs of slowness, but he was greatly relieved. At least for a long time in the future, he would not have to pay attention to the troubles in the army.

He believed that Jia Huan could help handle it properly and allow him to concentrate on the southwest affairs.

Jia Cong was confident in his abilities, and at the same time he was full of trust in Jia Huan.

Likewise, the integration of the two armies went quite smoothly, and there was no such thing as a horrendous rejection incident. Everyone was very optimistic about the effect of the two brothers joining forces!
