Chapter 165: Changed the Name Again

Old Zhu finally rushed back to Hefei with the Huainan Right Camp of 3,000 people.

He was the last one to return among the 18th Battalion.

As soon as he returned to Hefei, Zhu Yuanhui went into the general's mansion. He happened to meet Li Yuanhui having dinner, so he invited Li Yuanhui to eat with him.

It is worth mentioning that Lao Zhu changed his name again. Zhu Deyu. This name probably means that he hopes to be outstanding in virtue.

Li Yuanhui's expression when he learned about this was very complicated. It was probably unexpected, but he also revealed his calmness.

"General, do you think our name is not good?"

"Well, it's very good, Deyu, very good, very good"

Li Yuanhui smiled, but thought in his heart, it doesn't matter what you are, as long as you are not Zhu Tang.

"By the way, General, I have something I want to talk to you about." Old Zhu suddenly felt as if he was in some embarrassment.

"Just to be frank, we have known each other for a long time."

"General, do you still remember the day last year when you and Brother Liu followed the late emperor and passed by Huangjue Temple to look for us?"

When Lao Zhu mentioned this, Li Yuanhui put down his wine glass and recalled, "It's only been a little over a year, so of course I remember it."

"Then does the general still remember our senior brother?"

"Is that the fat monk? He looks incredibly powerful. I have some impression of him."

Old Zhu said, "Our senior brother is called Ruhui, he is very strong. After I entered Huangjue Temple, he took good care of me. He also taught me these martial arts. But when I went back to Zhongli to recruit soldiers, I heard that my senior brother was imprisoned and would be executed in a few days. It was only when the master of Huangjue Temple heard that I became an official that he sent a few brothers to tell me. Do you think it's okay?"

Li Yuanhui's expression suddenly became more serious after hearing this, and then he asked, "What did your senior brother do wrong?"

Old Zhu said, "If our senior brother was a criminal, we would not have the face to ask the general for mercy. In fact, it was our senior brother's secular sister who was favored by the son of the Su County Magistrate in Zhongli County and wanted to take him as a concubine. Our senior brother heard that a man came down the mountain and beat up the son and his group. The Su County Magistrate is a big family in Zhongli County, and there must be thousands of tenants in his family. Naturally, he would not let it go. So the Su brought There were more than a hundred people, and they went to cause trouble again. With my strength and martial arts, I could fight against a hundred people alone without losing. As a result, the man surnamed Su used my family to force my senior brother to surrender, and put him in jail, and also accused him of colluding with bandits. The abbot of the temple went to the county magistrate, but he failed to bail him out. In this world, the county magistrate is an outsider, and he is not as good as the county lieutenant who has the final say in the county. I thought that the abbot didn’t have enough face, and I couldn’t say anything, so I could only come back to ask for a favor from the general."

Li Yuanhui smiled when he heard this: "Is this a big deal? I will write a warrant tomorrow, and you can take it to Zhongli County to ask for the person. If you don't give me face, just kidnap him. Your people are all infantry, and it will be hard for them to run a trip. I will let Chang Yanheng go tomorrow. You too, you are the Sima of my Zhennan General's Mansion, with 3,000 soldiers under your command. You go to find this county lieutenant, even if he is a local tyrant, how dare he not give you face?"

Old Zhu laughed foolishly after hearing this.
However, Li Yuanhui changed the subject and said, "But I still have to remind you of one thing. Your brother was wronged, so you must do your best to save him. The county lieutenant does not abide by the law, so it doesn't matter if you do something out of line. But you have to manage these people under me. The military law of the various departments under my Zhennan General's Mansion is ruthless. There will be no mercy for those who commit crimes and bully the people. I will inspect the various departments' garrisons in the next few days, and anyone who does not follow the rules will be severely punished."

After hearing this, Old Zhu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this general. I also came from a poor family. I hate to see people taking advantage of their power to harm the people. I can't control other camps, but if there is such a person in the Huainan Right Camp, I will deal with him myself!"

Zhu's words were powerful, and Li Yuanhui filled his glass with wine. "Just for what you said, let's drink this glass of wine."

"Okay, thank you, General."

Old Zhu and Li Yuanhui didn't finish until it was dark.

Early the next morning, Li Yuanhui called Chang Yanheng and asked him to go to Zhongli to do some work.

When Chang Yanheng heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised to rescue the person. However, when Li Yuanhui gave him the warrant, he still reminded him not to cause any deaths and to find out about the livelihood of the people in Huaiyuan, Zhongli, Yinling and other counties.

Although Li Yuanhui was neither a prefect nor the governor of Yangzhou, he was now managing Jianghuai as his own territory, so he was also thinking of finding an opportunity to intervene in local government affairs.

As for the governor of Yangzhou, the court has not appointed one yet. Originally, it was the general of the Southern Expedition, Yuwen Tan, who was concurrently in office. Now Yuwen Tan is dead and Jianye has been lost. The court probably doesn't care about the governor of Yangzhou, after all, the battles in Jingzhou and Youji are in full swing.

Chang Yanheng assembled a hundred cavalrymen from his Huaiyuan Camp and rushed to Zhongli under flags.

Li Yuanhui also began to patrol the camp according to the plan.

Whether it is Hefei's new city or old city, it can only accommodate about 10,000 people at most.

Now that the camps have been brought back and the old and new cities are filled with garrisons, new camps and garrisons have been built outside the city.

As the commander-in-chief, Li Yuanhui inspected the camps to check whether the camps and garrisons built by various units met the requirements of the Governor's Office.

In addition, we also need to look at the training situation, accommodation conditions, and daily matters such as meals of the new recruits in each unit.

Some trivial matters may seem insignificant, but they have a great impact on the combat effectiveness of the army.

For example, when marching, the soldiers' shoes are all worn out, and they cannot be replaced in time. Do they have to march barefoot?

If such problems are not handled properly, they will greatly affect the normal marching and combat of the army.

In this era, Li Yuanhui had a very forward-looking vision, so in addition to training, he paid special attention to the investment and construction of the army's logistics, medical care and other aspects.

In fact, the time traveler has been paying special attention to these things since last month, but in the nearly two hundred years since the time traveler.

Some things are improving, while some things are deteriorating.

For example, in the field of military medical care, Li Yuanhui discovered through historical books that large-scale military medical training and the formation of a military medical team had already begun during the reign of Emperor Xuan of Wei.

But after several generations of emperors, the military medical department seemed less important because of the decrease in wars, so one of the descendants of Emperor Xuan of Wei suddenly decided to abolish the military medical department. The money saved was used to repair the garden. Later, in the last years, although there were more wars, it was not so easy to rebuild the military medical system. In addition, due to the common problems at the end of the dynasty, it was finally abandoned.

As for the later period when Dayan entered the Central Plains, it never thought of restoring these things.

Li Yuanhui naturally attached great importance to the military logistics support system, and naturally thought of re-employing military medical care.

It took five or six days to simply walk around the camp of the naval and land forces of nearly 50,000 people and conduct some superficial questioning and investigation.

Then he discovered many problems.

There were people who urinated and defecated anywhere in the camp, hundreds of people had diarrhea because they drank the river water without treatment, the camp fortifications were pushed down by force, the soldiers could not tell left from right after serving for a few months, and they went to the river to swim without permission during the training period.
After the incident, this group of camp leaders were severely scolded by Li Yuanhui in the hall of the Governor's Mansion.

He also caught several clerks, colonels, captains, and warehouse clerks who were involved in corruption. After investigation, no matter who they were, they were all executed.

As for whether the commanders of these eighteen battalions are all clean, that is not necessarily the case.

But someone has to do the job, so it is a warning to others and a warning to others.

Li Yuanhui was telling them what they could do and what they could not do.

And where are the limits.
