Governor please stay

Chapter 547

Jiangzhou is located in the middle of Jingxiang and Jiangdong, like a pole carrying two burdens, the location is unusual.

In particular, Pancheng (Jiujiang City), guarding the waterway of the Yangtze River, not only has an extremely important military strategic position, but also has many merchant ships passing by every day, and the shipping is busy.

The Yangtze River does not freeze in winter, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a lifeline in winter. Its importance is self-evident.

Because of Liu Yishou's dominance, Xiao Xu didn't dare to do anything when he was alive, and he didn't do anything to the ships crossing the river, so the Jiankang Center allowed him to be unrestrained on his one-acre three-point land.

Now that Xiao Xu died suddenly, and Xiao Lun came to intervene again, Liu Yishou must not let such a thing happen without punishing him.Sending troops to quickly quell the rebellion is the right thing to do.

However, due to Xiao Lun's extremely thoughtless move, Liu Yishou and his cronies did not expect that there is actually a vassal king who can make such a stupid move.

So on the other hand, Liu Yishou and the others were not prepared for Xiao Lun's sudden move.

So whether to send troops from Xiangyang or from Jiankang has become a thorny issue.

"Xiao Lun's sudden attack this time will inevitably fail in the end, but the twists and turns are quite tricky. The lord must personally lead the battle in order to properly deal with it. This is in line with the righteousness of the people."

In the study of Prince Wu's Mansion, Chen Yuankang earnestly suggested.

"This statement is wrong. Now that the reform is in full swing, if the lord leaves Jiankang, there must be some young people who will obey the yin and yang. At such a critical moment, how can the lord leave lightly? Why don't you order Dugu Xin and Xu Du to send troops from Jingxiang, and the navy will go downstream And down!"

Wang Wei firmly disagreed with Liu Yishou leaving Jiankang.

Chen Yuankang considered it from the perspective of doing things, while Wang Wei considered it from the perspective of Liu Yishou's personal interests because his relationship with Liu Yishou was more personal and intimate. .

"Don't fight anymore, I must be in command this time."

Liu Yishou stood up and decided to stay or not with one word.

"But my lord, about Jiankang..."

Wang Wei wanted to say something, but Liu Yishou stopped him with his eyes.

"Changyou (Chen Yuankang's name) is right, the only one who can deal with the vassal king is the vassal king."

Liu Yishou let out a long sigh, politically speaking, he had to be the one to put down the rebellion this time.

In fact, Liu Yishou didn't want to go either. After all, Jiankang's many affairs now can be described as a waste of time.

But quelling the rebellion of the vassal princes is no different than anything else. If you use your generals to lead your troops, you may encounter unexpected troubles.

When the two armies confront each other, attacking the heart is the first.If Liu Yishou sent his men to deal with Xiao Lun, perhaps many things that could be discussed would become rigid due to the lack of prestige of the generals, and finally they could only talk with knives.

The king is against the king, only the class is enough, and the words spoken have weight.After the fight, it is possible to use political means to weaken the opponent.

In layman's terms, only magic can defeat magic.Leaving Jiankang all the way to the west, the states and counties along the road are not absolutely controlled by the imperial court. How can we guarantee that those people will support them if we send a general to go out?

If Liu Yishou took command in person to quell the rebellion of the vassal kings, it would have extremely strong political significance. Do you dare to try to move these idiots in the east of Jiangzhou?
Even Wang Wei couldn't deny that Liu Yishou's stepping out really had the effect of finalizing the decision.

"Jiangzhou has a lot of mountains and a lot of water. I'm afraid the cavalry will not be able to handle it. We still need an elite navy." Liu Yishou mused slightly, talking to himself.

"You can let Webster's navy support and control the Yangtze River. My lord is attacking Guo through false means, and the city of Yan is the most important thing. It must be taken back together so that there will be no hidden dangers in the future."

Chen Yuankang suggested calmly.

Xiao Lun seized the territory, ostensibly to advocate justice for Xiao Xu's descendants, but in fact he was looking for an opportunity to annex Xunyang County (that is, Jiujiang County where Pancheng is located).

And Liu Yishou led troops to suppress the rebellion, on the surface, on the pretext of implementing the fiefdom for Xiao Xu's descendants (because Poyang County was occupied by Xiao Lun as a fiefdom).

But in the end, no matter who wins or loses, the imperial court's original distribution of favor and enfeoffment cannot be implemented.After the Central Forbidden Army arrived at Pen City and wiped out Xiao Lun's forces, would they just withdraw back to Jiankang empty-handed?

Liu Yishou is not Ultraman!
The behavior of Xiao Lun, king of Yuzhang County, is a rebellion, and the fiefdom is naturally to be taken back to the state.However, the king of Luling County colluded with the king of Yuzhang County to rebel (suspected), and the fiefdom was also to be taken back from the state. In the end, there was only one newly entrusted King of Poyang, lingering in Poyang County.

So many political operations must be supervised by Liu Yishou himself, and no one can do it for him.

"Hu Sengyou is training the new army in Wuhu. They are all good family members from Huaihe River and Huaihe River. They are familiar with water warfare and can be driven. It is not suitable for Yang Zhong's elite soldiers to leave Jiankang. Now there are undercurrents surging around Jiankang. The household registration has not stopped for a day. I am afraid that there will be accidents in the transfer."

Wang Wei suggested cautiously.

"Qiaozhi's Taiyuan County is just to the east of Xunyang County, next to the Yangtze River. It should be to check the account books and clean up black households. It's just because it is far away, so it is in the second batch. The lord can lead troops to settle there. Start to check the household registration, and give both kindness and power to the local big households.

Presumably those fools will definitely support the lord to deal with Xiao Lun with money and food.Now it's just the autumn harvest, if the investigation finds out something, those big households will have been working in vain for a year, I believe they know how to choose. "

Chen Yuankang also gave his own suggestion, using the pretext of suppressing the rebellion to track down black households by the way, a two-pronged approach, this method is simply not too good.For the big households who don't cooperate, they directly give the excuse of "cooperating with the vassal king and plotting against the law", and you will spit out how many fields and residences you have in your hand!
"My lord, the new army is eager to fight, and the desire to make contributions is particularly strong. They are all sons of good families in Lianghuai, and those who have permanent property have perseverance. Please don't have doubts, my lord."

Chen Yuankang was afraid that Liu Yishou would miss the opportunity to fight, and now it was too late to transfer troops from other places. Hu Sengyou's newly trained troops in Wuhu were the latest ones. Liu Yishou only needed to take a few people to Wuhu to take over the army and go straight to the expedition.

If you want to recruit troops suitable for water warfare, you must transfer troops from Pengcheng in the north. It will already be winter when the troops are in place!At that time, Xiao Lun might have gained a firm foothold in Poyang County.

Seeing that the imperial court was unable to quell the rebellion quickly, the forces of all parties would also have ideas that they shouldn't have.

"Understood, I will set off today. You issue an edict in the name of the Yizheng Hall, and issue a military order to Wei An, asking him to lead the fleet to Wuhu to meet up."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said that he had obviously agreed to the plan of sending troops.

"My lord, what should we do with Jiankang? This time we send troops, and we will only return next spring."

Wang Wei asked hesitantly.

"My request is just three words: Don't stop! After the victory returns, announce the new land tax system."

Liu Yishou waved his hands indifferently and said, actually, there is no need to worry too much. Even if someone wants to make trouble, they will wait until the battle in Jiangzhou is over to see the outcome.

If Liu Yishou led his troops back in a big victory, who would choose to be beheaded at that time?Instead of worrying about these things, it is better to put the matter at hand into practice.

"By the way, is there any news about Zhong?"

Liu Yishou suddenly remembered He Bayue, and wondered what he would do when he returned to Guanzhong after the last big defeat.

"It seems that Su Chuo is taking the lead. He is working on the Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven and the Fubing system. He also brings the local powerful private army in Guanzhong into the Sixth Emperor's Army."

Wang Wei said thoughtfully, but he was not too clear about the details.Most of Liang Guo's spies were looking for news from Gao Huan's side. Few people went to Guanzhong, mainly because the pass was closed and there were very few caravans, so it was not convenient to go there.

"Is there no Eight Pillar Kingdom?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

Wang Wei and Chen Yuankang were taken aback by this question, and then they both shook their heads together and said, "My lord, Bazhu Kingdom has never been heard of before, and the subordinates only know about it after listening to the lord."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly. In his previous life, Yu Wentai created the Eight Pillars Kingdom in politics and the Six Armies of the Son of Heaven in military affairs.

He Bayue obviously failed to consider the political needs. How to ensure the centripetal force of the Han and Xianbei armies mixed together, He Bayue had no way or courage to deal with this problem.

"Yu Wentai wrote the battle report last time, saying that he captured Jin'an County (Fuzhou), do you have any next action plan?"

Speaking of Yuwentai, Liu Yishou suddenly remembered that this year Yuwentai had been leading troops in the Fujian area to eliminate the powerful chieftain forces there.Now Xiao Ying, Chen Baxian and others rebel in Guangzhou and stand on their own. Because of Mrs. Xian's restraint, they haven't led troops north to Shaoguan yet.

In fact, it can also be understood from another angle, because the Jiankang court did not see the advance and retreat, so the rebel forces in Guangzhou were also waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Liu Yishou to show his flaws.The current situation can be regarded as a balance of terror.

One of the reasons for Yu Wentai's delay in taking troops to Shaoguan, apart from his own selfishness and exhaustion of the army, was his reluctance to stimulate the rebel forces in Guangzhou too much.

Now there is one more reason!
"The suppression of the rebellion in Jiangzhou this time is of great importance."

Thinking of this, Liu Yishou let out a long sigh!
Many people are waiting for the result of this counterinsurgency.If he can win, then Yu Wentai will obediently lead his troops to Shaoguan to seal the door for the Guangzhou rebels to go north.

And Chen Baxian and others will temporarily hibernate and will not give away their heads so stupidly.Liu Yishou's cronies and direct descendants can also carry out drastic reforms in Jiankang and swim in the deep water.

This feeling is a bit like a college entrance examination candidate from an ordinary family in the previous life, thinking about the future way out a few days before the college entrance examination.Life is very long, and it seems that there are many steps, but the key steps are often only a few steps, or even one step.

Sadly, most people have to make critical decisions that have far-reaching consequences when they are young and ignorant.

If Liu Yishou didn't have the experience and insight of his previous life, how could he bear such enormous pressure at a critical moment at such a young age in this world where the literacy rate is not high?

"Send an order to Yu Wentai, this year we will finish the trilogy in Jin'an County, and we will send troops to Shaoguan after next year's spring plowing.

In addition, the restructuring of the Jiankang Center has vacated a lot of official positions. You can ask if his nephews and nephews have suitable talents and education, and can take on important responsibilities, and send them to the Jiankang Center as officials.Since Yu Wentai is an uncle and uncle, don't delay the future of the next generation. "

Liu Yishou said eloquently, Chen Yuankang and others understood his meaning in seconds, and quickly cupped their hands and said: "This subordinate will do it now."

Compared with Yuan Shao, who is resourceful and unstoppable, it is hard to say whether Liu Yishou is "planning", but the speed of his decision-making is beyond the imagination of outsiders, and Yuan Shao is blown away.

Especially when it comes to making decisions at critical moments, he never drags his feet.

……

The Jiankang imperial court's report on institutional innovation has been sent to Yuwentai who was repaired in Houguan City in Jin'an County (now part of Fuzhou City and Minhou County).

Yuwentai has had a really difficult time this year.

There are many mountains in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the battle is not easy, and the suffering is hard to describe.The ability to conquer Jin'an County was all due to the good operation of the sea route, bypassing the many barriers on land.And it was a fluke to succeed in one blow.

To this day, Jin'an County's supplies are still transported by sea from Yongjia County (Wenzhou City). Fortunately, Yongjia County is the sphere of influence of the Jiankang court. Otherwise, Yuwentai would have to To retreat.

The level of farming here is very low, far behind the Sanwu area, and even Yongjia County can't compare.Not only are there many mountains but also the sea, and a large area is saline-alkali land.

It is very difficult for the people of Fujian and Zhejiang to rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water. In the farming era, large-scale sea trade was not possible. This is not a place to raise soldiers at all.

This is also one of the reasons why before the development of Haimao, Jin'an County has always had only powerful chieftains but no warlords.

"Let's all take a look at this."

Yu Wentai handed over the court's residence report to Yu Wenhu, while he was grilling fish.The group of them set up a barbecue grill in the yard, and the sea fish they picked up from the sea were grilled and eaten directly after being cleaned and sprinkled with salt.

"Uncle, what does King Wu want to do?"

Yu Wenhu couldn't understand why, and felt that Liu Yishou was messing around.With this time, wouldn't it be good to train more soldiers and horses?

"What about you? What do you say?"

Yu Wentai looked at He Lanxiang and others who were reading the Dibao and asked.

Yu Wenhu couldn't understand it, and they couldn't understand it either.You can probably understand what each sentence means, but if you add it up, you can't understand it.

"Wu Wang's technique is very delicate, it can be called an art. If you learn it for 100 years, you will probably be able to get a glimpse of it, alas!"

Yu Wentai let out a long sigh, admiring him from the bottom of his heart, and then felt lonely.

Liu Yishou did what he thought of, such as restraining land acquisitions by tyrannical powers, reclaiming wasteland, and rectifying the administration of officials.Liu Yishou actually did what he couldn't think of.

Changed Tongtai Temple into a bookstore, cleaned up the account books of counties and counties owned by overseas Chinese, specified weights and measures and usage standards, reorganized laws and regulations to regulate taxation, established tax police and implemented a special tax office system in the central government.

All in all, Yu Wentai can only give a thumbs up, and feel ashamed.

Liang Guo's actions to strengthen the centralization of power are very large, and they are from the inside out, not just seeking the unity of the country in form.Yu Wentai could feel that Liu Yishou was solidly preparing to usurp the throne, not impatient at all, and was implementing all the small details.

Should I seek official positions for these sons and nephews in the yard?

Yu Wentai thought secretly in his heart, that dream of standing on the top of a mountain seems to be getting farther and farther away, and there is less and less hope in sight.

"Sabao (Yuwen Hubiao), you are by my side, and you have delayed your youth and haven't experienced it well. How about I send a copy of the book to Jiankang, and ask King Wu if there is any official position that I can arrange for you.

You should also handle government affairs on your own. "

Yu Wentai took back the imperial palace newspaper from Yu Wenhu, looked at him and said earnestly.

"Uncle, this is..."

Yuwenhu was a little flustered, feeling that Yuwentai seemed to dislike him.

"This is a good thing, whether it can be done or not is another story."

Yu Wentai sighed softly, his sons and nephews, all these years by his side, have grown only in martial arts.They are protected too well, their thinking is very naive, and they don't understand the cruelty of politics at all.

Liu Yishou, who was not much older than them, was already an old fox in the political arena, and countless people with ulterior motives were hanged and beaten by him.

So people really need continuous experience to grow.Under the protection of Yuwentai's wings, Yuwenhu and others grew up too slowly!

"You guys too."

Yu Wentai turned his head and said to He Lanxiang and others who were eating grilled fish.
