Chapter 63
After confirming the goal of attacking Huzhou, everyone left Taihu Lake again.

Now it can be said that everything is ready and only owes the "West Wind".

Naturally, it was the whirlwind from Jin Shenghuan in Jiangxi.

After finishing the discussion, Qian Mo came to Xia Wanchun's place.

After all, he has never seen his little nephew, Xia Polu.

At this time, the little guy had already fallen asleep, and his tiger-headed and tiger-headed appearance was quite cute.

The eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as Xia Wanchun's, and the mouth is a small cherry mouth inherited from Qian Qinzhuan.

Qian Mo said: "It seems that this little Polu has inherited the advantages of Xiaoyin and Xiaomei. He will definitely be a handsome hero when he grows up in the future."

"I didn't prepare any gifts, so I ordered the craftsman to forge a gold safety lock, and wish my little nephew a long life!"

Qian Qinzhuan said: "It's a pity that Dad can't see it, otherwise he will be very happy."

Qian Mo said at this time: "Little sister, this is all the second brother's fault. You shouldn't have kept the news of your father's death from you."

Xia Wanchun hastily explained: "How could Zhuan'er blame Brother Mo? You are also afraid of affecting the little Polu. Zhuan'er naturally understands."

Qian Qinzhuan said: "Daddy sacrificed his life for the country and was awarded the honor of the imperial court. He can be regarded as a glorious ancestor. I don't dare to blame the second brother."

Qian Mo said embarrassingly, "Little sister is still so sensible."

"Xiao Yin, let's go out for a walk, so as not to wake up the child."

Qian Mo hadn't returned to the Taihu cottage for a while, and found that there was actually a small market here.

The bazaar is full of small commodities for daily use. It seems that since the payment of salaries and rewards, the people in the cottage have already saved up and started to have consumption needs.

Qian Mo said to Xia Wanchun: "It seems that the governor has managed well, and the market here has also begun to prosper."

Xia Wanchun said: "Brother Mo is going to make fun of Xiaoyin. It's all because Steward Qian saw that the people in the village started to have other needs after they got their salaries, so he ordered the workshop to make some daily necessities for trading."

"In addition to Shengui Island and Feiying Island, Taihu Lake now has several new strongholds. It has already attracted the attention of the Qing army, and several spies have been captured this month."

Qian Mo said: "Although it is unlikely that the Qing army will take over Taihu Lake in a big way, the defense still needs to be strengthened, especially the cottage on Shengui Island needs to be reinforced with 'fairy lime'."

"When the bastion of Tianjiazhuang is completed, let the younger sister move to Tianjiazhuang?"

"After all, Jiaxing Mansion is now safer than Taihu Lake, and the environment in Tianjiazhuang is also better than that on the island."

Xia Wanchun said: "After all, this Jiaxing Mansion is under the governance of the Qing government. Although many officials in Jiaxing Mansion are already ours, Brother Mo still needs to be more vigilant. Don't take it lightly."

Qian Mo understood what Xia Wanchun meant, after all, if he, the local governor, took his family members away first, it would cause panic among the people below.

Said: "It seems that Xiaoyin is really mature, and he is more thoughtful than his brother. The intelligence department still needs to strengthen the monitoring of officials in Jiaxing Mansion, and we also have to guard against inhumanity."

In fact, Qian Mo still feels guilty towards Xia Wanchun.After all, Xia Wanchun was the core of the Taihu Rebel Army before, and even supported Qian Mo against all odds.

But Qian Mo's next move was not very kind, and it seemed to be airing Xia Wanchun.

First, through the "big contest" and the "payment system" to win the hearts of the army.

Then vigorously promoted his cronies, and although it could not be called deliberate suppression of Xia Wanchun's most core team, the Taihu Camp, it was intentionally put in the position of the second-class camp.

In the military, Xia Wanchun was hardly allowed to participate too much.

Although Xia Wanchun, the governor of Su Song, is still in charge of the Department of Civil Affairs and Intelligence.

However, Chief Minister Qian Buer was originally the steward of the Qian family, and Qian Ning, the commander of the Intelligence Department, was Qian Mo's follower.

Qian Mo also often habitually passed Xia Wanchun to give orders to them.

The younger sister Qian Qinzhuan lost her temper with Qian Mo before, and she also meant to blame Qian Mo in it.

Although Xia Wanchun didn't say anything, he still cared a little bit in his heart. If this kind of knot was not solved in time, it might become bigger and bigger in the future, and even turn against each other.

This is also the reason why Qian Mo pulled Xia Wanchun out to chat alone.

Xia Wanchun said: "Brother Mo is now the governor of Su Song, so he is naturally far-sighted. Xiao Yin is just a little reminder, how can he compare with Brother Mo's clever calculations?"

Qian Mo said: "Although you and I are in a supervisory relationship, we are as close as brothers. Xiao Yin's remarks are based on birth."

"Dare to ask Xiaoyin, why didn't the Northern Expedition of the southern regime succeed except for my Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty?"

Xia Wanchun said: "The southerners are good at water, and the northerners are good at riding. The south has no strong cavalry, and was suppressed by the cavalry of the Central Plains Dynasty in the north. Therefore, the Northern Expedition mostly ended in failure."

Qian Mo said: "Although what Xiaoyin said was also an important reason for the failure of the Southern regime's Northern Expedition, it is not absolute."

"When I made the Northern Expedition to the Emperor Taizu, my Ming cavalry was not as powerful as Meng Yuan's cavalry, so I still drove Meng Yuan to Mobei."

"If I have to wait until the cavalry in the south is stronger than that in the north before the Northern Expedition can succeed, I am afraid that I will never regain the Central Plains?"

"Brother, ask Xiaoyin, apart from my Emperor Taizu, who was the closest to succeeding in the Northern Expedition?"

Xia Wanchun replied: "Of course it is Liu Yu, Liu Jinu is on the Northern Expedition."

Since Pian'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has always faced threats from the north.Zu Ti, Yu Liang, Yin Hao, and Huan Wen all made the Northern Expedition successively, but none of them succeeded.

In the second year of Jin Yuanxing (404), Liu Yu raised troops to defeat Huan Xuan, who had usurped Jin and proclaimed himself emperor.In the following year, he supported the restoration of Emperor Jin'an and took control of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.At that time, the internal contradictions of the Nanyan ruling group intensified. Murong Chao believed in traitors, punished the virtuous, and imposed heavy taxes and labor, which aroused strong resistance from the people.For the strength of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Yu decided to send his troops to the north.

In order to fight against Nanyan, Liu Yu wanted to take command of the Northern Expedition to show his prestige to the outside world.

In February 409 AD, the Nanyan army invaded Huaibei, which happened to give Liu Yu a chance.He wrote to the emperor requesting the Northern Expedition. After obtaining the approval of the imperial court, he quickly dispatched troops and arrived in Xiapi in May.

Two Northern Expeditions destroyed Nanyan one after the other, destroyed the Northern Wei Dynasty, destroyed the Later Qin Dynasty, recovered Shandong, Henan, Guanzhong and other places, and recovered the two capitals of Luoyang and Chang'an. The south of the Yellow River and the entire territory of Shandong have been included in the Liu Song territory, "seven parts of the world, and four of them", and the Jianghuai River Basin is guaranteed.

To provide a barrier in the northern frontier for Liu Song, Yongchu and Yuanjia to recuperate, and the situation of "surplus grain and acres, and households never sleep at night" is still a Northern Expedition that has achieved great results and has great historical significance.

Zhu Jing, a historian of the Tang Dynasty, praised the Northern Expedition: "The West ends Yongshu, and the north draws a big river. Since the end of the Han Dynasty, the Eastern Jin Dynasty has expanded its borders, but it has not yet arrived." "Praised in the word: "A gold and iron horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger."

Qian Mo said: "Xiaoyin is really knowledgeable, and he sees the same thing as brother Wei. Then why didn't Liu Jinu do his best in the Northern Expedition, resulting in Chang'an's gain and loss?"

Xia Wanchun blurted out: "Naturally, it was because Liu Yu's most important adviser, Liu Muzhi, died of illness in Jiankang, and the rear was unstable, so Liu Yu had to stop the Northern Expedition and return to the south to stabilize the situation, leaving only his 12-year-old son Liu Yizhen to guard Chang'an. "

In fact, Xia Wanchun understood Qian Mo's intention when he said the answer.

Qian Mo didn't deliberately suppress his military power, but hoped that he could help Qian Mo stabilize the rear like Liu Muzhi did, so that Qian Mo could attack freely.

So he said: "Xiao Yin understands Brother Mo's meaning. Don't worry, Brother Mo, Xiao Yin will definitely relieve Brother Mo's worries!"

Qian Mo laughed and said, "Brother, how can you not know that Xiao Yin wants to make contributions in the battlefield, but we don't even have a stable rear now. Although Steward Qian is loyal and reliable, he is also quite capable, but after all, his family background is too low, and the town can't do anything." In order to live with everyone, Brother Wei still needs Xiao Yin to sit in the rear for Brother Wei at this time."

"Xiaoyin, don't worry, once we have the foundation, I will definitely give Xiaoyin the opportunity to lead the army and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield."

Xia Wanchun also said with some embarrassment: "It was Xiaoyin who misunderstood Brother Mo."
