Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

Li Sen handed the dossier to Li Qianyi, and the dossier hit Li Qianyi hard on the chest. Li Qianyi held the dossier with both hands and his expression was very ugly.

"I...I don't know."

The whole hall started talking, and many officials had begun to add insult to injury, saying things like dereliction of duty and eating without food.

Li Qianyi saluted the seven hundred riders, and then looked in the direction of Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, I am... I have been dealing with the bandit collusion cases in Raozhou and Xuancheng these days."

Yuchi Baoqi frowned: "What is the gangster collusion case? Tell me in detail."

Li Qianyi took out a memorial from his arms: "Since Chizhou was deposed in the first year of Zhenguan, Mr. Li, the observer, has repeatedly asked his subordinates to help plan how to control banditry and theft in the entire Jiangnan West Road. He returned it early last year. Your Majesty submitted the memorial, did your Majesty remember it?"

Li Shimin thought about it and it was true: "Remember, Li Sen asked me to re-establish Chizhou, and specifically requested to establish a state in Qiupu County, and also moved the Qiupu County seat from Shicheng, Yinhui Town today, seventy miles northeast of the old county seat. The south bank of Qiupu River.”

Li Qianyi nodded, and Wang De also went down to the palace to take the memorial and go back.

"This is the official's idea. In the Chikou area, a city was chosen to build a city to guard the important points in the south of the Yangtze River. The purpose is to cut off the links between the bandits and bandits, so that they cannot converge into a climate, and then they can be divided and eliminated, and the Qingming rule of Chizhou can be regained. "

Yuchi Baoqi thought for a moment: "Raozhou and Shangrao Coal Mine, do you have any data on coal mine output?"

Li Sen and Li Qianyi both shook their heads, and Li Sen sighed: "Chizhou has just been reestablished as a state, and the control of the entire Jiangnan West Road is seriously insufficient, and the data is unknown."

Yuchi Baoqi suddenly thought of something: "Shangrao... Baiqi met those people in dark blue robes in Shangrao. Has the supervisory censor ever seen them?"

Li Qianyi shook his head: "Almost everyone in the group of bandits in Xuancheng is wearing dark gray clothes, and their arms are tied with dark cyan cloth strips. I have never seen any bandits wearing dark cyan robes."

Yuchi Baoqi felt that this matter could no longer be asked in front of so many officials: "Except for Li Qianyi and Li Sen, we have three days of rest. The Royal Academy will be fully open during these three days. You can go if you want."

The officials also knew that the matter on Jiangnan West Road was not that easy to solve. If they said something wrong and said something wrong, they might lose their official hats and move their feet very fast, which was a little numb after standing for a long time.

The Tai Chi Hall was basically empty. Li Shimin stepped down from the dragon chair and came to Yuchi Baoqi's side: "Xiaobao, are you so panicked?"

Yuchi Baoqi breathed out: "Shangrao... has coal and iron, not to mention other things, just crossbows and armor can make it."

"Now that Tianwei's army is marching to the west again, a large number of conventional troops are in the west. The second-generation generals guarding the northern border have nothing to do, but they are afraid that the gang of bandits in Shangrao will become a climate, burning, killing and looting the people to make a living."

"Supervisory Censor, do you think those people wearing dark blue robes in Shangrao are related to those gangsters in Raozhou?"

Li Qianyi did not dare to die. After thinking for a while, he said: "It is very likely that the repairs in Chizhou will be completed soon. At that time, Xuancheng and Chizhou soldiers will be mobilized to jointly eliminate the banditry in Xuancheng. This is the original plan."

Yuchi Baoqi thought for a moment: "No, originally you could have planned this way, but now the 347 miners' families in Shangrao who were buried, as well as the iron ore and coal mines that are definitely controlled by gangsters, can't wait any longer."

Yuchi Baoqi asked Wang De to find the accurate map of Jiangnan West Road. Wang De asked Li Shimin for instructions and then quickly walked to the back hall to get it. Li Shimin frowned slightly.

"Why are there so many troubles? I'm looking at the rampant bandits. There are more than one bandit in the Tang Dynasty. Xiaobao... give me some ideas to eliminate the bandits."

Yuchi Baoqi snorted coldly: "What other ideas can you come up with? Our Tang Dynasty is now at its peak, and the world is at peace. They go to work and labor, even if they farm, they can support themselves. They have to steal, rob, and bully the people. ”

"Then let them see the power of the people. Starting from the banditry in Raozhou and Xuancheng, the Tianwei Army and Chizhou soldiers plus Baiqi will show them what they should do to deal with such bandits!"

“The vast ocean of People’s War is not just for fun.”

Wang De took the map. Even Li Sen, the Jiangnan West Road observer, had never seen such a detailed map.

Yuchi Baoqi pointed to one of them: "If it were me, after the iron ore and coal mines here are mined, the iron would be smelted on the spot to make weapons, crossbows, and armor, and then shipped to the headquarters in Raozhou."

"But it is conceivable that with this level of iron ore and coal mines, as well as iron-smelting technology, their equipment will not be very good, otherwise you Seven Hundreds of Cavalry brothers may not have a chance to come back alive."

The leader of Baiqi was a little ashamed. After all, the British Duke told the truth, and the equipment he wore was designed by the British Duke himself.

"How many families of miners who died in the mines were snatched away?"

"All eight hundred and forty-five people were brought out. Fortunately, the Hundred Cavalry was deployed properly this time, and the enemy's gangsters were too arrogant, so such results were achieved."

Yuchi Baoqi nodded: "I'm used to lawlessness. There won't be too many gangsters guarding coal mines and ironworks. I think the people who come to Shangrao County are basically forced to be mine slaves."

Li Shimin raised his eyelids slightly: "You just mentioned the Mighty Heavenly Army. Where did the Mighty Heavenly Army come from?"

Yuchi Baoqi spread his hands and said: "A few days ago, I felt that Tianwei's soldiers were too few and insufficient. I have paid attention to a group of good family members within the Baoli Trading Company in Datang. They have been training for more than half a month."

Li Shimin was stunned: "You boy, are you going to train as a soldier to suppress bandits this time? Do you want to go too?"

Yuchi Baoqi shrugged: "You always want me to follow you. When will Wei Jun grow up that day? If you don't go, take a vacation. Oh, by the way. Ah Quan, your vacation is about to be suspended. You have to go over and check the dam at the mouth of the river. , those who fail will be asked to try again, please be more considerate.”

Su Quan, who was sitting very calmly and doing nothing, rolled his eyes: "Just call me, brother."

Yuchi Baoqi ignored Su Quan's protest and turned to look at Li Sen, the investigation envoy, and Li Qianyi, the supervisory censor: "Although this banditry was not the direct cause of you two, it cannot be escaped from the relationship. More than 300 miners were killed. , someone always needs to step up and take responsibility.”

Li Sen lowered his head, lifted up his scarlet official robe and knelt on the ground: "I cannot take the blame for this mining disaster and banditry. I ask you to be dismissed from office."

The word "dismissal from office" was a request for Li Shimin to fire him, which meant that Li Sen and his descendants would no longer be able to serve as officials in the court unless there were special circumstances.

Yuchi Baoqi snorted coldly: "What a beautiful idea. If something goes wrong, you will be dismissed from office and resign, and you won't even think about running away! Back then, you could have submitted a memorial to ask His Majesty to reset Chizhou, and then you would spend the rest of your life building Chizhou and bringing the people of Chizhou to life. Wealth and security.”
