The Heavens: Starting from Traveling through Song Qingshu

Chapter 63
In the Jinling City Mansion, the core members of Song Xuan held another meeting.

Li Shanchang was the last to come.

As soon as he entered the government office, he complained: "I kept my lord waiting for a long time!"

As he said that, he smiled and said, "I led people to seal up all the documents and materials of the Household Registration Department in the government office. With those things, we can take care of the people in Jinling City and various counties and towns, taxes, fields and various situations. Grab it as soon as possible.”

Song Xuan nodded in approval and said, "With Jinling City captured, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces have been completely brought under our control.

Our territory is getting bigger and bigger, and we need more and more talents.

You go back and discuss it, select some suitable officials and report the list. "

Li Shanchang and others nodded yes.

Afterwards, several people discussed the issue of whether to continue to send troops in the future.

On this issue, several people rarely disagreed.

Liu Bowen tended to continue to send troops to take down the Anqing territory.

Anqing is the boundary of Anhui Province in later generations.

According to him, the situation in Anqing today is not yet stable. Liu Futong and Guo Zixing are fighting each other. Although their strength is not weak, they are still much inferior to the Hangzhou army.

Sending troops at this time can take Anqing at a very small cost. If you wait for another year, when the two rebel forces integrate Anqing's forces, if you want to capture it again, the price you have to pay will increase several times.

Li Shanchang suggested that it is better to be more stable. Now that Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are in hand, they can develop well for the next year and continue to recruit and train troops.

What he was most worried about was that the troops sent to Anqing here were empty, and if Xu Shouhui from Jiangxi led an army to attack, wouldn't he be punished?

There was a disagreement between the two civil servants under his command, Song Xuan pondered for a while, but did not directly make a decision, but ordered Tsing Yiwei to lead the sixth son.

"Go, call that kid Sapphire!"

The sixth child led out, and after a while, the high-spirited Lan Yu was brought to the commander's mansion.

"Lan Yu, meet the Commander!" Seeing Song Xuan, Lan Yu subconsciously wanted to kneel down on one knee.

"We Han men, there is no need to kneel down!"

Song Xuan opened his mouth, motioned him to sit down first, and said, "I called you today because I want to ask you, if you give you a soldier, are you sure you can defeat An Qing?"

"Anqing?"

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, then excitedly said: "That's our hometown, the commander wants to send troops to fight it down?"

"Correct!"

Song Xuan nodded and said: "In Anqing, there are mainly two rebel armies, Liu Futong and Guo Zixing, with a total of more than 20 troops. If you are to lead the army, do you have the courage?"

"Why don't you dare!" Lan Yu patted her chest and said, "The commander-in-chief just needs to give me [-] soldiers and horses, and I will definitely take Anqing down for you!"

This is not something he boasted in arrogance.

Instead, he fought against the Yuan army today, and he has already realized the true strength of the Hangzhou army.

Even the so-called invincible Mongolian cavalry can be easily defeated, a group of so-called rebels, no matter how many there are, in his eyes, they are just a group of rogues.

"I'll give you 8 people!"

Song Xuan said earnestly: "This commander said that you are a natural general, and you were born to gallop on the battlefield. I don't ask much. Before the cold winter, your army must at least take root in Anqing. Can you do it?"

Lan Yu immediately knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "I will live up to the commander's entrustment! I am willing to issue a military order. If you can't gain a foothold in Anqing, Lan Yu will come to see you!"

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang looked at each other, both of them looked a little unhappy.

They recognized the lord's evaluation of Lan Yu, and they also knew that this man had the talent of a general, and he would definitely be of great use in the future.

But now, Sapphire is too young!
A young man who seems to be seventeen or eighteen years old is in charge of an army and goes out to fight. This order from the lord is too risky.

In fact, they were not worried that Lan Yu would be defeated. With such a situation, the lord was sitting in the rich land of two provinces, even if he lost 8 horses, he would not be hurt.

What they are worried about is that they will be outside, and the king's life will not be accepted!

If Lan Yu, who suddenly came to power at such a young age, has a different heart and wants to stand on her own, what should she do?

And at this moment, Song Xuan's voice sounded.

But seeing his eyes turn, they first fell on Song Yuanqiao.

Since the last time they had some trouble with Liu Bowen and others, Yu Lianzhou and other Wudang masters stopped coming to the Marshal's Mansion meeting on the grounds that they did not understand military affairs.

In this regard, Song Xuan didn't force it, as long as Song Yuanqiao, the representative of Wudang, attended the meeting.

"Father, the safety of General Lan is up to you!"

Song Yuanqiao nodded and said with a smile: "I'm a Wudang person who doesn't understand military affairs, but I can handle martial arts well. Don't worry, I will go out with your second uncle in person this time and go out with the army. Lanyu will be safe!"

The father and son looked at each other and smiled slightly.

How could Song Yuanqiao not understand what Song Xuan meant?

It is said to protect Sapphire, but is it also a kind of surveillance?
Lan Yu didn't understand this, but thought it was because the Marshal put too much emphasis on him, and even sent out experts from the Wudang sect just to protect his safety.

The only way to repay the kindness of knowing you is with death!
After the meeting, everyone left one after another, but Li Shanchang stayed.

"My lord, we really don't need to be in such a hurry. Sending troops frequently can easily attract Yuan Ting's attention, which is really bad for us!"

Song Xuan waved his hand and said: "It's late autumn now, even if the Yuan court army defeated the Ming army in Henan, if they want to go south, they will have to pass the winter and wait until the next spring.

This period of time is an excellent period for dispatching troops, and the Anqing Rebel Army cannot be left alone, otherwise it will cause serious trouble in the future! "

Li Shanchang was a little puzzled, "The lord seems to value the rebel army in Anqing territory very much? But in my opinion, Xu Shouhui, who is sitting in Jiangxi and is constantly building ships, is our enemy!
If the lord has to send troops, I am more inclined to send troops to Jiangxi! "

Song Xuan smiled, "The order has been issued, sir, do as it is!"

Li Shanchang was silent for a moment, cupped his fists to accept the order, and left.

Watching his figure leave, Song Xuan stood still, not moving.

There are some things that he is inconvenient to say directly.

If we only talk about the current situation, Xu Shouhui in Jiangxi is indeed more powerful and needs to be resolved.

However, as a traveler from later generations, he knew very well that compared to Xu Shouhui or Chen Youliang in Jiangxi, Zhu Yuanzhang and his group who are now dormant under Guo Zixing's command are more worthy of his attention.

If we only talk about the world of martial arts, Zhang Wuji, the leader of the Ming religion, is naturally the protagonist.

But if the scope is expanded to the entire land of China or even the entire world, the real protagonist in this world, the son of luck, is actually the future Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang!

Today's Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet fully grown his wings, and his power has not yet grown up. It is time to subdue or kill him!
As for whether to accept or kill, it depends on Sapphire's performance next.
