The Summoning of the Troubled Times at the End of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 214 Comprehensive defense, bestowed a marquis

For a moment, Hong Xiuquan couldn't help hesitating deeply as the two proposals were put forward.

After all, the Taiping Army was blocked in Yuhang by the Sui Army and was not allowed to enter.

In addition, due to the large number of Taiping troops, it is difficult to support hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops for a long time based on the barren land of Jiaozhou.

In fact, Hong Xiuquan knew the whole situation best.

However, if Hong Xiuquan accepted Feng Yunshan's proposal, he would withdraw all troops from Jiaozhou and recuperate.

At this time, Hong Xiuquan was also extremely unwilling, after all, if he did not take the opportunity to seize Jinling City, the southern metropolis.

In the future, the Sui court will comprehensively strengthen the defense against its own army. I am afraid that our army will no longer have the opportunity to seize the land in the south of the Yangtze River.

For a moment, Feng Yunshan, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to see the worry in Hong Xiuquan's heart, and said slowly: "Actually, the king of heaven doesn't need to worry!"

"Because the world is not far from chaos!"

"Oh? The world is in chaos, what do you say?"

It's just that Hong Xiuquan couldn't help becoming interested for a moment when he heard the words 'the world is in chaos', and asked anxiously.

Immediately, Feng Yunshan calmed down and explained: "Heavenly King, the Sui court seems to be calm on the surface."

"In fact, it is not the case. In fact, there are already many factions in the dark, and the warlord forces in various places are secretly hiding, waiting for the opportunity to move!"

"Nowadays, all that is lacking is one of the representatives who took the lead in rebellion."

"However, I can assure you that within half a year, all the feudal lords will rise together, and the imperial court will fall apart."

"At that time, once our Taiping Heavenly Army has enough soldiers and food, we will take advantage of the chaos and go out of Lingnan in one fell swoop. Is it afraid that we will not be able to sweep Jiangnan, or even the world?"

Hearing Feng Yunshan's analysis, Hong Xiuquan couldn't help but be overwhelmed!

However, the temptation of Jinling City is too great.

At this time, Hong Xiuquan's mind was almost full of the majestic palaces of Jinling City and the beauties who were as beautiful as mirrors.

Immediately, Feng Yunshan saw that Hong Xiuquan was still showing hesitation, and said in a deep voice: "Heavenly King, today the whole country is in Jiaozhou, and even Yangzhou occupies nearly two-thirds of the territory."

"As long as our army retreats to the south of the Five Ridges to recuperate for a period of time, are we afraid that we will not be able to sweep the south of the Yangtze River when we send troops again?"

In the end, with the unique analysis and insight of Nan Wang Feng Yunshan.

Hong Xiuquan also accepted Feng Yunshan's proposal, and the whole army retreated to the Lingnan area to recuperate and consolidate the existing territory.

Although Eastern King Yang Xiuqing still wanted to exhort him, he was ruthlessly interrupted by the hard-line Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan waving his hand.

Immediately, when Hong Xiuquan led his troops back, he also made reasonable arrangements for the defense.

In the end, the garrison forces of the Taiping Army were as follows:

First of all, the west of Yangzhou, headed by Yuzhang County and Nankang County, appointed Chen Youliang as the governor of the Taiping Expedition to the West, and was fully responsible for defending Jingzhou's defense line.

The reason why Shi Dakai was not ordered to garrison the western defense line was because he was beaten and fled when he was fighting with Gao Qi's army.

And Chen Youliang won consecutive battles all the way, leveling the counties in the west of Yangzhou, showing extraordinary talent.

Although Shi Dakai is also very powerful in using troops, compared with Chen Youliang, there is still a certain gap.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, Hong Xiuquan finally handed over the post of commander-in-chief of the western region to Chen Youliang.

Although Shi Dakai was defeated this time, his ability should not be underestimated!

However, in the end Shi Dakai was appointed as the southern part of Yangzhou, stationed in Yongjia, and confronted the Sui army in Yuhang area.

Afterwards, Hong Xiuquan even appointed Southern King Feng Yunshan as the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Heaven, who was responsible for reclamation of wasteland, planting of crops, and all daily selection matters within Taiping.

Sui Dajiang, guarding Yuhang, watched as the main force of the Taiping Army withdrew.

Lai Huer originally wanted to lead his army to take the opportunity to attack, regain the counties of Yangzhou, and completely expel the forces of the Taiping Army.

Not surprisingly, Hong Xiuquan had already set up a strong line of defense in the Yongjia area.

Although Lai Huer repeatedly attacked, all of them ended in failure.

In the end, Lai Huer also had to choose to avoid and confront the Taiping Army.

For a while, the continuous war in the counties in the south of the Yangtze River disappeared in an instant.

All parts of the south of the Yangtze River have fallen into a rare peace.

…………

The news of Xiao Liang's fall and the retreat of the Taiping Army was quickly sent to Jiangdu with eight hundred miles of urgent information.

After the emperor Yang Guang took a closer look, he began to think about how to add officials and ranks to the heroes of the counter-rebellion, so as to win people's hearts.

In fact, ever since Yang Guang ordered the compulsory construction of the Grand Canal, he knew that the huge Sui Ding would fall apart and the people would be in dire straits.

Therefore, Yang Guang now attaches great importance to the development of Jiangnan.

Because the Guanlong area, the center of gravity of the hinterland of the Sui Dynasty, is now almost dominated by aristocratic and powerful families.

Since Yang Guang wanted to break through and establish later, it would definitely be unrealistic to implement it in the Guanzhong area.

Because of that, it will definitely be greatly influenced by the aristocratic family, and the new policy cannot be implemented at all.

As for the land of Jiangnan, before Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, he began to governor Jiangnan.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Jiangnan is Yang Guang's Longxing Land.

Not only that, Yang Guang, who was once the king of Jin, suppressed soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River.

Now, since Yang Guang wants to break through and re-establish the Sui Dynasty, he has to rely on his prestige in the south of the Yangtze River.

Therefore, Yang Guang paid so much attention to the rebellion in Jiangnan this time.

But in an instant, hundreds of thousands of troops were transferred out to counter the rebellion.

But now, since the suppression of the rebellion has ended, the emperor Yang Guang will start to increase his ranks.

After all, since Yang Guang wanted to rejuvenate the Sui Dynasty, he must have the support of people in the south of the Yangtze River.

Otherwise, ZTE is just empty talk!
And this award of meritorious officials is the best confession to the people of the world.

This also allows them to see Yang Guang's determination to reform.

…………

In the end, after careful consideration, Yang Guang finally drew up the list of rewards.

Following Yang Guang's decree, Gao Qi, the hussar general, was finally named the governor of Jingnan, and the governor of several counties in Jingnan.

In addition, Gao Qi was granted the title of Marquis of Jiangling, and Jiangling, the county town of Nanjun, was granted the fiefdom.

Such a feudal lord is actually a disguised form and handed over Nanjun to Gao Qi for governance.

For a time, almost all of southern Jingzhou came under the jurisdiction of Gao Qi.

And the next step is to designate Lai Huer, who fought alone against the Taiping Army this time, as the general manager of the Jiangnan Road March, stationed in Jiangxia, and responsible for all wars in the south of the Yangtze River.

And this time, Sun Jian, the powerful Sun Jian of Wu County, who took refuge under Lai Huer's command, was also named the prefect of Yuhang for his meritorious service.

In this way, Yuhang was stationed to defend against the Taiping Army's re-invasion.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xun, who had resisted several times the attacks of Xiao Liang's army with more than a thousand county soldiers under Xinye City, was rewarded.

Therefore, in the end Zhang Xun also became the prefect of Xiangyang, guarding Xiangyang, and under the control of Jiangling Hou Gaoqi.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Guang continued to award meritorious generals.

For a time, the emperor's kindness was so great that the people in the south of the Yangtze River could not help but see the hope of Sui revival.

…………

Di, it was detected that Xiao Yue's daughter, Xiao Yuexian, had a crush on the host.

Tick, it is detected that the host has completed the second ring of the prestige task.
