Chapter 22: The Assault (3)

Ye Mengding was not wrong, taking the change in Quanzhou as an opportunity to pry the entire Fujian Road and take the opportunity to create a vacant seat for Luchen, which was one of Liu Yu's plans.

Why Fujian Road? Not only because it has jurisdiction over one government, five states and two armies, adjacent to two Zhejiang and two Guangzhou, with a population of more than three million, and a good geographical location, almost surrounded by mountains, and the other side faces the sea, the shipbuilding industry is extremely developed, and commerce is second to none, but also because not far from the opposite side of the strait, stands the undeveloped first treasure island in China! Of course, all of this is now in vain, which can be described as "people are not as good as heaven".

After receiving Chen Wenlong's recital, the political affairs hall reacted quickly, and everyone had only one hope, to let the incident be digested in the road, and not to give the Yuan people a chance to take advantage of it. Therefore, the corresponding disposition came quickly, the military side was handed over to the governor of Guangzhou, the military Jinming, and the civil side was transferred back to the original pacification envoy Wang Gangzhong, whether he was removed from his post to be investigated or something else is unknown, as for the new Luchen candidate is somewhat unexpected.

"Da Lang, congratulations, the princes of the court have a vision, and your hard work is in vain."

This is indeed an unexpected joy, no one expected that the political hall would directly let Chen Wenlong, who was in the local area, take over Fujian Road and know Fuzhou! You must know that he is a native of Kamata, only a county away from Fuzhou, and almost a local is a local official, which is an exception.

Hearing the uncle's congratulatory words, Chen Wenlong didn't have much joy on his face, he had read the book several times, and he still couldn't figure out why he could be unanimously recommended by the princes? Is it because I am here, so I can take office immediately? This is of course impossible.

"My son-in-law is here to congratulate my father-in-law."

When he received the book, he was discussing with his son-in-law Xu Hanqing in the house, and there were only three of them in the hall, and his daughter Sister Shu was with the ladies in the back hall.

"No need to be polite, sit down and talk."

Chen Wenlong put the book on the desk and waved his hand.

"The son-in-law seems to be displeased with his father-in-law, but is there something wrong?"

His expression couldn't hide the two people in the hall, Xu Hanqing's question, Chen Zan also had it, but he had to be calmer, he didn't ask directly, and Wen Yan also looked at his nephew, wanting to hear what he would say.

Inappropriate? Of course, there is something wrong, he Chen Wenlong is not only a local, but also his own grade is not enough, before he was just from the history of serving the emperor from the sixth grade, and now he has added an official and is only the right Shilang of the Ministry of Rites of the sixth grade, and Fuzhou is the metropolitan governor of the third grade, even if it is the lowest level of power, it should be the fifth grade, is this a sick and chaotic doctor?

It's not that he's afraid of provoking controversy, but what is the unknown reason behind this unusual? As an insider, he naturally has to think about it, but how to say these words to these two people.

"I think that whether it is appropriate or not, it is already a certainty, and the things that are reported and edicted to the world can still be pushed forward?"

Chen Zhan's words helped him out of the siege, indeed, he had already taken it, and it was useless to think about it, at least in his heart, this was an opportunity to do practical things, and it far exceeded his expectations, so what else was there to worry about.

"Uncle is right, 'If you come, you will be safe', it's a certain appearance."

After letting go of his mind, Chen Wenlong returned to his previous chic appearance, and he smiled to himself and took the topic.

"Then what we discussed before, are we still doing it?"

Regarding Xu Hanqing's question, Chen Wenlong understood what he meant, he was just an envoy of the imperial court before, and he could be more arbitrary, but now that he has a different identity and has become a local chief, then he has to consider all aspects. The same thing was done by the envoys, but not necessarily by the Luchens, especially when it came to the Tibetan people.

"That Golden Governor's Mansion, does Jun Ben have any contact? What is the person's temperament? ”

"Don't worry, this person can be trusted."

As early as when investigating Liu Yu's matter, Chen Wenlong had made a lot of effort to deal with this general of the forbidden army who also went out of Wang's mansion, so he knew a lot about it. There is actually only one criterion for civilian officials to comment on military attachés, whether they are domineering or not, that is, whether they are obedient or not, and this Jin Shuai can be described as a good baby, and there is nothing worth saying at all.

Born in a slight cold, he stepped into the position step by step from the lowest level, and this experience was the same as many famous generals in the Song Dynasty, and it was rare to be not arrogant or dry, honest and self-controlled. So now, even if there is no backer, with the respect of Chen Yizhong as prime minister, it takes a lot of brains to move him.

"Uncle, Han Qing, after receiving the edict, you must rush to Fuzhou immediately, and you plan to leave today, and the actions here will be according to our discussion. Recruitment and liaison Han Qing, you work hard, the government is here, the uncle is in the middle, and the official documents will arrive soon, so let's do our best. ”

As soon as the Quanzhou incident came out, it was not only the magnates of Beijing and other merchants who were involved, but also the huge distribution of interests involved the local area of Fujian Road, the Chen family is a big family, and it is impossible to feed so many people, just relying on that little acre, not to mention the Xu family, they are Quanzhou maritime businessmen, in order to clear up the relationship, save themselves or share profits, they have to work hard.

Fortunately, the result is very ideal, his father-in-law is the Luchen, no matter what, there will be no more hidden worries, the joy of the two is on their faces, these twists and turns around Chen Wenlong do not know, but he is also a member of the family, one is prosperous and one is lost, and it is a matter of benefiting the country and the family, as for the things behind this enthusiasm, there is no need to worry about it.

At this time, Zhang Hongfan's department in Jiangzhou has just passed Madang Mountain, this strange mountain is like a galloping horse lying on the riverside, guarding a very narrow river channel, the river is divided into two roads by a sandbar here, the flow rate becomes turbulent, it is the important place of river defense since ancient times.

There was no need for his subordinates to remind him, he also knew that this was not far from the border of Dongliu County, and Zhang Hongfan, who was stationed on the side of the Ma River, watched his cavalry roll by, and after some rest, the whole army looked neat and tidy, and his fighting spirit was high, which made him can't help but be full of ambition.

"Where's the troll?"

You don't have to worry about the land with your own leadership, but the waterway is afraid that it won't be able to keep up, and the pro-soldiers behind him pointed behind him when they heard this.

"Tens of thousands of households have already come, and it is our banner."

Zhang Hongfan looked sideways, on the river road in the distance, a fleet of ships was going down the river, dozens of big ships sailed together, their momentum was like galloping horses, even compared to the land, he silently estimated in his heart, but he was expressionless with his jaw head.

"There's no need to converge the collection, fanfare, I'm going to meet the Great Yuan Angel!"

With a wave of his hand, his legs clamped hard, the war horse accelerated abruptly, crossed the side road all the way over the marching team, and the big flag behind him unfolded with the wind, and the word "Zhang" meandered and wriggled in a big fight, attracting the lieutenant generals to respond one after another.

"The enemy has crossed the Long Ridge, thirty miles from the city."

"The enemy is in the town of Twin Towers, twenty miles away from the city."

"It's through Zhanggang, fifteen miles away from the city."

The news of the spies in front of him was reported into the city like a stream, and at this moment, Liu Yu had already turned his command post to the west gate in the direction of facing the enemy, and on the simple city tower, several generals silently watched him sketch on the map, and their faces were a little dignified.

"Zhongshu, the city is heavily guarded as if it is facing a great enemy, and the envoys of the Great Yuan are all detained, which is like imprisonment, what does this mean?"

Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance of the building, accompanied by the footsteps of a group of people going upstairs, the first civil official looked anxious, it was his deputy, the Zhongfeng doctor, the deputy envoy of the peace council, Lu Shimeng, followed by the subordinates of the mission.

"It's nothing, I'm going to enter the enemy's territory and take precautions, what's the matter, does Deputy Envoy Lu think it's inappropriate?"

Liu Yu raised his eyes and glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued his business, the official level crushed people to death, this is a feudal society with strict grades, he doesn't need to pay attention to his small role.

"Doesn't that have to be so fearless of causing disputes between the two countries?"

Lu Shimeng was choked for a moment, as if he realized his identity, his tone unconsciously lowered, and the people behind him whispered one after another, it seemed that these people's worries were the same, Liu Yu thought about it and stood up.

"You should have heard the report just now, thousands of troops of the Yuan people are galloping over, what does Deputy Envoy Lu think they will do?"

"But what's the wonder of welcoming us?"

"Greeting?"

Liu Yu was stupidly laughed by him, he glanced at everyone with blazing eyes, these are civil officials from the prosperous land of Beijing, many people are afraid that they have never experienced war in their lives, and the leader may not only be stupid.

"Let me ask you, this place is a hundred miles away from Jiangzhou, and we have never sent a messenger, how did they learn of this? Could it be that your Deputy Envoy Lu sent someone to inform you in private? ”

"This"

Liu Yu's words made Lu Shimeng and the others stunned, and before they could react, their words of defense were interrupted as soon as they were exported.

"Since you have received the news, why don't you send someone to report it first, silently, the army is galloping like thunder, this kind of greeting method, Liu has not heard of it, have you ever heard of it?"

I don't know what Lu Shimeng thinks, but the people behind him are obviously shocked, it is a matter of life and wealth, Liu Yu is indeed a foolproof strategy to do this, looking at their expressions changing, Liu Yu knows that these people have already figured it out.

"Then wouldn't it be a good idea for me to wait here?"

The person who spoke, Liu Yu, recognized him as a member of the Ministry of Rites, who had met when he first entered Beijing, and Liu Yu nodded with him.

"Don't be bored, you have also seen it, we are in the city, what they want to do, they can't go beyond this city, before the enemy situation is known, we should all meet bandits, here to wait for help."

"But where do the reinforcements come from?"

Liu Yu's words made everyone feel at ease, and then thought of another key, Liu Yu didn't answer this question, but just pretended to smile mysteriously, perhaps infected by his confident expression, everyone stopped asking, and the city tower was quiet for a while.

"It's coming!"

At this moment, the defenders outside the city tower let out an exclamation, everyone had not come back to their senses, they all thought it was reinforcements, and they all rushed out with joy on their faces, only Liu Yu knew in his heart what was coming.
