    After saying this, Yang Fang looked at Zheng Dutong carefully. Zheng Yunming still had his eyes half-closed with an indifferent expression. He stopped when he heard Yang Fang's voice and raised his hand to signal him to continue.  Yang Fang calmed down and said: "When the enemy cannot attack the fortified city, they will resort to old tricks and attack the flanks of Sichuan from other places as a tactic. This road can only go through Luzhou and Xuzhou.  When attacking the southwestern Yi region in southern Sichuan, Bozhou and Sizhou are facing the greatest threat of invasion. The governor should not just focus on defense in person, but also contact the local officials in Sizhou and Bozhou to instruct them to keep a close watch, train troops and horses, and guard them.  It is critical to avoid the sudden attack of the Mongols at all times. Otherwise, just like when the Jin Kingdom was attacked from the side by the Mongolian army, resulting in the loss of the front line and the annihilation of the entire elite army in the rear, Sichuan will inevitably fall into the hands of the enemy.  "Zheng Yunming responded: "Go on." Yang Fang calmed down and continued: "To govern Sichuan, we must rectify the army. The first step in rectifying the army is to give fair rewards and punishments.  The Xuanfu envoy handled the issue of rewards and punishments the most improperly. Since the Mongolian invasion in the Shaoding year, many armies were defeated.  , and there is no corresponding pension, but those who dispersed and committed murder and arson, the commander must bribe them with money and food to appease them not to cause rebellion. Wouldn't this be putting the cart before the horse if there is no reward for an army that fights bravely and violates military regulations?  How can such an army resist the elite Mongolian army without being held accountable?" Yang Fang said, watching Zheng Yunming's eyes slowly open, with a serious expression on his face, and he was secretly happy, and then said: "  Since Shaoding in Sichuan, more than hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians have been killed by the Mongols. In Shukou alone, tens of thousands of warriors died in battle. From Jiange down to the prefectures and counties, they were plundered and slaughtered by the enemy.  There is not a single living person to be seen in the urban and rural areas, only zombies are everywhere, and the bones are everywhere. How can the people of Shu not be chilled? The generals must have heard that Qin Mugong offered sacrifices to the victims of the Battle of Xiaoshan, which inspired people's hearts and finally achieved success.  A generation of hegemony. The important thing the governor should do now is to lead the entire army to bury the victims of the national disaster in accordance with etiquette. He strictly orders the officials of the prefecture and county to bury the bones exposed in the wild, and strictly prohibits them from using the excuse of clearing the country.  , carried out a second looting of the suffering people. After the enemy retreated, the families of the victims were not taken care of, but they were oppressed by the officials. As a result, many orphans and widows died, and their experiences caused the neighbors to suffer day and night.  The clan suffers because of this. How can such people produce with peace of mind and support the war of resistance if they cannot take care of themselves? " "So the top priority now is to widely implement benevolent policies so that the inheritance and orphans of those killed by the Mongols can be protected by the clan.  If the government dares to get involved in these properties, the governor will severely punish them. With the livelihood of the orphans and widows guaranteed, the clan can settle down, and then the army and the people can work together to defend the fortress. " Yang Fang added:  "The army must be elite. The lesson from ancient times is that elite soldiers are more valuable than large numbers. Liu Laozhi used 8,000 soldiers to march across the north, and Li Ling used 3,000 soldiers to fight thousands of miles. This is because of strict selection and skillful training. Nowadays,  Sichuan's army was panicked by the Mongolian soldiers. They only wanted to expand their military strength and did not train them at all.  On weekdays, they do evil and oppress the people. During the war, they will run away as soon as they see the shadow of the enemy cavalry. If they all want to fight the Mongols, they must be trained strictly and have them abide by strict military discipline. Well-trained and highly skilled soldiers  Rewards will be given, and those who fail to pass the assessment will be severely punished.  " What Yang Fang said is exactly the truth about the local army. The army stationed in some wealthy counties in Shu is indeed very well supplied. Not only can all the sergeants be dressed in Shu brocade silk and satin, but they can even have wine and meat every day. But the training is a mess.  , some cavalry could not ride on horseback, and some archers fired dozens of arrows without hitting the target. Before Zheng Yunming arrived in Sichuan, he had already heard many similar jokes from Cao Wenqi. This time he entered Sichuan and retrained.  The army is a natural thing. The next thing that needs to be done is probably what this down-and-out scholar is about to say. "While rectifying the army, we must strengthen spies.  The art of war is that knowing oneself and the enemy will lead to victory in any battle. Before the ancients used troops, they would send spies widely to find out who the enemy generals were, whether they were wise or stupid, how many troops there really were, and how many elite soldiers there were among them.  Due to proper preparation in advance, victory is guaranteed upon departure and the attack is invincible.  Today, the army in Shu has no one who knows how to fight since the fall of General Cao. I heard that many people started to attack after hearing that the attacking army was famous generals such as Tahai, Yizhu'er, and Wang Shixian.  They abandoned the city overnight and fled on their own. In fact, enemies were attacking from all sides. How could these enemy generals take care of everything?  They are just using their banner to scare our army.?So when using troops, we must detect the enemy's true situation before planning an action. How to detect the enemy's real information?  Select brave and alert soldiers, encourage them with ten times the reward, take good care of their wives and children, and then send them deep into the north of Xingyuan to conduct detailed investigation of the exact information of the Mongolian army. Where the generals are brave, where are the generals?  Stupid, once you find out where the troops are strong and where the troops are weak, you will naturally be unfavorable.  " Zheng Yunming still simply said: "Continue.  " Yang Fang continued one by one: "Now that Wang Shixian has recently returned to Mongolia, the Mongols still do not fully trust him. We can take this opportunity to vigorously carry out counter-insurgency. If we can alienate the relationship between Wang Shixian and the Mongols, it will be beneficial to our army.  Defending Sichuan has all the benefits and no harm.  " "In addition to implementing counterinsurgency, we must also consolidate our prestige in Sichuan and put an end to the enemy's counterinsurgency. In this regard, I hope that the governor will urge all prefectures and counties to vigorously clarify the administration of officials. Only when officials are clear can people's hearts be stable. When the people's hearts are stable, the enemy's counterinsurgency will be eliminated.  The plan doesn't work that easily.  " "In terms of financial deficiencies, there is actually room for improvement. Sichuan has accumulated many abuses over the past century. Officials, big and small, are making a lot of money, but the national treasury is empty. If the clarification of officialdom and the cleanup of the abuses are carried out at the same time, seriously  By effectively dealing with the corruption and detention of officials, Sichuan's treasury will surely be enriched again, and the restoration of the capital will be fundamentally guaranteed.  " "The power of one person is limited, but the wisdom of everyone is infinite. Although Sichuan is dilapidated, are there no talented people with lofty ideals in the mountains and wilderness?  If the governor can select talents extensively, as long as he promotes one or two upright, courageous and skilled talents in each state and county, and can clearly understand the true situation of local government affairs, then the local government will be able to easily secure and the army can concentrate on dealing with foreign enemies.  .  " " If the governor can implement the above provisions, the situation in Sichuan will not be difficult to stabilize. And the governor personally pays more attention to seeking principles for governing the country and clarifying people's hearts from the books of sages, and encourages sharing these principles with subordinates and colleagues.  If everyone follows the example of the ancient sages, is there anything in the world that cannot be accomplished?  " His last sentence was purely a flattering tactic used by scholars, but it was a pity that he did not find out the details of this outsider Zheng Guanren. If he knew that this young general was known for his illegality and vigorous innovation, he would only  He was afraid that he would talk about innovating and pursuing the sages from afar. Even so, Zheng Yunming was also very happy. Many of the issues Yang Fang talked about really concentrated on Sichuan's current critical issues. Fortunately, the Mongols were just entering Sichuan for the first time.  The destruction of Sichuan has not reached the point of being irreparable. From now on, if we work hard to improve, it is still possible to regain the whole of Shu. In order to achieve this goal, Zheng Yunming must rely more on the power of local scholars like Yang Fang.  ¡°It is easy to sit down and talk about it, but it is difficult to practice it when you stand up.  "When Zheng Yunming finally started to speak, Yang Fang also became nervous: "Sir, it's easy to talk about it, but you know how many difficulties and obstacles you will encounter if you want to implement it.  " Yang Fang shrugged: "There are guards of honor when entering and leaving the capital, I live in a tall government office, and I receive generous rewards from the court. I am just a nameless and unprofitable scholar. Shouldn't the capital bear all the responsibilities?  , or should we pass this responsibility on to the people who support the country?  " Zheng Yunming laughed: "What a big talk. The Tatars are coming. It doesn't matter whether you are an official or a civilian, whether you are receiving a salary from the court or farming peacefully. In the face of such a ferocious enemy, if you still hold the  The idea that only those with imperial salaries can resist, doesn¡¯t it mean that they have become a lamb to be slaughtered at the slightest sign?  So not only do you have to take responsibility, but you also have to let more people take responsibility.  " His words had clearly confirmed his intention to recruit Yang Fang to his subordinates. Yang Fang was naturally secretly happy and asked: "But I don't know what responsibilities the emperor wants the students to bear?  " Zheng Yunming walked to the window, pointed to the southeast and said: "Tomorrow a brand new army will be established there. If you want to save your own life and save the lives of the entire people of Xishu, you must start by recruiting new people.  ¡± The southeast corner of Chongqing Mansion is a school ground used by the local garrison soldiers and the imperial guards. Because Peng Daya took the time to build Chongqing, many civilians who built the city were allowed to rest here. On this day, the government suddenly sent someone to notify the cleanup  The school grounds were cleaned up overnight and preparations were made for recruitment. There were so many refugees gathered around Chongqing. Although the government was constantly evacuating refugees downstream, they also launched a work-for-relief operation and recruited many young people.  In his prime, he went to participate in the construction of the city.
