"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 680
"General, great victory."
? In the early morning, Chen Ziang was having breakfast in the admiral's mansion of Huaiyang Mansion, when Zheng Song, the staff member on duty, came striding forward with joy on his face.
"Mr. Zheng, where's the big victory?"
It was rare for Chen Ziang to see his staff member Zheng Song lose his composure, so he couldn't help but put down the bowl and chopsticks.
The staff member on duty rushed to Chen Ziang excitedly, and bowed his hands as a civil servant.
"General, it is the battle report from Xinyang Mansion that Lord Siyue, the security officer of the Jiangnan Province, uprooted the bandits in Xinyang Mansion, beheaded more than 3,000 people, and arrested 5,000 people."
Zheng Song, the staff member on duty, handed a battle report to Chen Ziang with both hands while reporting happily.
It has only been a few days since Yue Shan, the Chief of Public Security of Jiangnan Province, has arrived in Xinyang Mansion, and Chen Ziang is impressed by the fact that he has achieved such a great result.
Chen Ziang took the battle report and read it carefully. After reading it, he couldn't help clapping his hands and smiling.
"I didn't expect that Yue Shan really has two talents, and he has lived up to our expectations of him." Chen Ziang also praised without hesitation.
Xinyang Mansion is one of the areas where the situation in Jiangnan Province is relatively severe. Bandits and bandits are rampant, so that the soldiers in the garrison dare not go out privately, because no one knows whether they can go back alive.
Now that Yue Shan, the Chief of Public Security, has come to Xinyang Mansion in person, he will behead so many gangsters, Chen Ziang is naturally happy.
"Pass my military order to reward the Public Security Department of Jiangnan Province, and specifically reward your staff to come up with a plan for me as soon as possible."
Yue Shan won such a big victory just after he took office, so Chen Ziang, his immediate boss, was naturally not stingy.
Therefore, Chen Ziang immediately asked Zheng Song, the staff member on duty, to issue a reward order and draw up a reward plan at the same time.
Now stabilizing the situation in Jiangnan Province has become their top priority, because the rear is unstable, and there is no way to deal with the main force of the Southern Army with peace of mind.
Now that Yueshan and the others have made a good start, the commander-in-chief Chen Ziang naturally needs to give them a lot of support and encouragement, and hope that they can make persistent efforts and make new achievements.
"General, Director Yue said that they found out that the Zhang family, the largest family in Xinyang Mansion, is the mastermind behind all the attacks against us. He suggested that the Zhang family should be dealt with seriously, and would like to ask for your opinion, General."
Yue Shan arbitrarily issued an order not to keep prisoners during the battle in Taiyun County, so that he violated military discipline and was dismissed.
So this time after he came back to serve as the chief of public security, he also learned a lot from a siege, and he did not deal with the mastermind behind the arrest and the prisoners without authorization.
"Although the bandits in Xinyang Mansion and the mastermind behind them have been caught, bandits in other prefectures and counties are still rampant. It's good to scare the chickens and scare the monkeys."
After thinking for a while, Chen Ziang ordered: "Your staff draft an official document to Yue Shan to convey what I mean."
"The backbone of the mastermind of the Zhang family, as well as the backbone of the gangsters, can be killed to serve as an example. The rest will be interrogated separately, and then undergo five years of labor education. After all, we still need a lot of labor to build the Jiangnan Province. It's such a pity."
Zheng Song, the staff member on duty, nodded hurriedly, remembered what Chen Ziang said, and was going to draft an official document later.
"By the way, have Wu Zhenrui's post office settled down yet?"
Chen Ziang was so happy that he didn't eat anymore. He felt that he didn't want to publicize it as a warning. He had to publicize this great victory to deter the bandits and stragglers in Jiangnan Province.
"They have already settled down in Huaiyang Mansion." Zheng Song replied.
Chen Ziang ordered: "Tell them the situation of Xinyang Mansion's great victory this time, and ask them to publish a post report and send it to various places."
"No."
Staff member Zheng Song hurriedly agreed.
Wu Zhenrui was just a small squire in Yunxi Mansion, Jiangbei Province at first, but he took the initiative to embrace the Qinghe Army's thigh, and now he is also developed.
Now Wu Zhenrui's industry is almost following the pace of expansion of the Qinghe Army. Almost wherever the Qinghe Army goes, his industry will follow.
Moreover, Wu Zhenrui's industry is not limited to restaurants and inns, mining and breeding, forming mercenaries, preparing to build transportation teams, etc. He is now a post newspaper industry specializing in the Qinghe Army.
Not only are all the news post stations in Jiangbei Province built by the construction team under Wu Zhenrui's command, but also Wu Zhenrui's exclusive post newspaper.
Jiangbei Province now has a post station every 20 miles on the newly renovated provincial highway.
? These post stations undertake the functions of messengers of the Qinghe Army passing by, officials and soldiers, etc. to rest and replenish, and at the same time also undertake the task of delivering news.
The post newspaper is the most common way to transmit news, and this is what Chen Ziang ordered Wu Zhenrui, a businessman, to do.
The post newspaper published some relatively large policy and military news in the area controlled by the Qinghe Army.
Some of the battles in which the Qinghe Army captured the Jiangnan Province now also occupy the front page of the post newspaper in the Jiangbei Province.
Although the news published on the post newspaper has a serious lag due to the constant communication, there are still an endless stream of people buying post newspapers from all over the country.
At the beginning, the post newspaper was only circulated in Yunxi Mansion, Jiangbei Province, for the various departments of the Qinghe Army to understand current events.
With the gradual improvement of post stations in various places, the post station also quickly seized the market in various places with the expansion of post stations.
Now those who have a little reputation in various prefectures and counties will subscribe to the post newspaper to learn about the latest news.
And the news conveyed in these post newspapers has also become their talk before tea and after dinner.
If a certain squire does not know the news, he will be ridiculed by other squires.
Chen Ziang went to Jiangnan Province this time, and Wu Zhenrui, a businessman, naturally followed him to Jiangnan Province.
Wu Zhenrui has also tasted the sweetness now, that is, following Chen Ziang and the Qinghe Army, Wu Zhenrui will have a steady stream of wealth.
After Wu Zhenrui arrived in Jiangnan Province, although the situation here is not very stable, he has already started to mobilize funds and manpower, and is ready to show his talents here.
And as the post newspaper is the most prosperous business under his command now, he will naturally not be left behind.
Chen Ziang stayed in Huaiyang Mansion, and Wu Zhenrui didn't go anywhere else. Instead, he sat down in person and began to prepare for the establishment of a post newspaper printing workshop in Huaiyang Mansion.
Now Wu Zhenrui and the others do not have the printing machines of later generations to print post newspapers. They use manual movable type printing.
All the words are typed in advance, and it only takes a little time to organize a message and then print it.
? Although the post newspaper is extremely crude compared to the newspapers of later generations, it has made Wu Zhenrui a lot of money.
Wu Zhenrui did not delay after being notified by the Qinghe Army's Chief of Staff, and personally ordered a gentleman who wrote a manuscript to quickly write a manuscript for a post newspaper, and then submitted it to the Chief of Staff.
After the staff of the staff department reviewed and stamped it, they submitted it to Chen Ziang for review. In Jiangbei Province, the chief executive officer was in charge of this review.
Chen Ziang was very satisfied with the efficiency of Wu Zhenrui and the others, and let them print after only fixing some minor problems.
"Xinyang Mansion Great Victory! "
Soon, the crude post newspaper began to be printed intensely, and just after drying, it was taken away by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army who had already been waiting outside, and was dispatched to various places at an expedited speed of 800 miles.
At present, Jiangnan Province has not yet established a complete post system, so now it can only be done by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
