Chapter 61: Jiao Hong's Predicament

Jiao Hong has just put some bad things in Fujian to rest.

With a political envoy like Xie Huai, there is naturally a lot of chaos below.

The upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, Xie Huai is like this, how good can the officials below be. Jiao Hong wants to rectify the officialdom, otherwise he can't establish his own authority and clean up a batch of moths. It will not be good to do things in the future. But you can't let the officialdom be turbulent, otherwise Jiao Hong can also deal with Ye Liuzong immediately.

This is a test of Jiao Hong's ability.

Fortunately, Jiao Hong was selected by Yang Pu, and it was not easy to match.

He completed the clean-up and rectification of Fujian officialdom very well, and began to mobilize Fujian's troops in the shortest possible time. Prepare to take on the challenge of Ye Liuzong.

This is also why there should be governors in the local area, because of the previous three-division system, even if Xie Huai is a political envoy, he can't control the military, so he doesn't know how many means it took to mobilize the army.

Now the governor controls the three divisions, although the three divisions are qualified to write directly to the imperial court. But in the face of a strong governor, he did not dare to disobey.

It's just that the strength of Fujian's soldiers and horses is too poor.

Jiao Hong could only select one or two thousand men and horses from the coastal guards, and many of these horses were sailors on the ship. He also ordered all local governments to protect the territory and the people. First, the duty of guarding against pirates at sea is not light, and second, there are many sailors on the Fujian side, and there are not many who can really fight on the shore.

It's just that Ye Liuzong did it faster, and at this time he had already attacked the city of Jianning Mansion.

Jianning Mansion City is the location of the Fujian Xingdu Division.

Speaking of Fujian Xingdu Division, it is a story during the Taizu period of the Ming Dynasty.

The process of the Ming Dynasty sweeping the world was not all smooth sailing. At that time, Chen Youding occupied Fujian, and Emperor Taizu fought twice, the first time was to attack from the direction of Jianning Mansion, but the result was defeated by Chen Youding, and the general Hu Shen was damaged.

Later, the three-way southern expedition can be regarded as the capture and killing of Chen Youding.

Therefore, in terms of strategic location, this area is particularly important, and although Fujian is small, it was not the main battlefield in the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. So the population loss is not much.

Plus the system of inheriting the Yuan Dynasty.

The overall topography of Fujian can be divided into two parts: mountains and seas, needless to say, the sea is a series of small coastal basins, and the mountains are Jianning Mansion, Yanping Mansion, and other western Fujian prefectures.

During the Yuan Dynasty, Fujian was under the province of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Jianning Road and Fuzhou Road are on an equal footing.

This political posture was also inherited in part after entering the Ming Dynasty.

That is, the Fujian Xingdu Division, which is tied with the Fujian Capital Division of Fuzhou.

Of course, if the world is in turmoil, Jianning Mansion should be the gateway to Fujian, and the military importance is still above Fuzhou, but the world is settled, so the redundant Xingdu Division is not very important.

In the Yongle Dynasty, it was reduced many times.

Therefore, there are only three or four guards left in Fujian Xingdu

That's it.

And these people are the main force fighting in the Xianxia Ancient Road. And the remaining troops of the Fujian Xingdu Division are now in Jianning Mansion, once Jianning Mansion falls, what will be the situation?

That is to say, in the four prefectures and counties of western Fujian, Jianning, Yanping, Shaowu, and Tingzhou, there is no regular army of the government.

What is more important is not Jianning Mansion, but Yanping Mansion.

Yanping Mansion is at the intersection of land and water, in the upper reaches of the Min River, once Yanping falls, the army of thieves can go straight to the city of Fuzhou.

That's when the world really shakes.

So as soon as Jiao Hong heard that Jianning was surrounded, he was immediately anxious. Immediately prepare to rescue Jianning.

But it is easy to get a general by a thousand troops, and Jiao Hong does not expect those sea generals to be guarded by Fujian at all. He urgently dispatched these two thousand people from all over the country, which was already the limit of his use.

Once he loses again, he can only stick to Fuzhou City, and he can't do anything else.

Jiao Hong was full of entanglements for a while, whether to save or not. He inevitably complained in his heart, if he had been here two months earlier, he would not have been so restrained.

"Your Excellency." Suddenly, the official below reported: "There are five hundred horses in the city, led by Yang Xin, who claims to be the commander of the guards of the Qianqing Palace. ”

When Jiao Hong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said, "Okay." ”

Yang Xin's name, Jiao Hong naturally knows.

And Yang Xin's ability, Jiao Hong also knows something. After all, it is the first in martial arts. This name is also very loud.

When the imperial court established martial arts, many civil officials still didn't think so, thinking that those gentlemen could go to school.

But after a long time, it seems that this is the case.

When Liu Yongcheng was in charge of martial arts, he simply didn't recognize his six relatives, and many pampered children at home took off a layer of skin as soon as they entered.

And martial arts can only be promoted after graduation. But not everyone can graduate.

Generally speaking, if you can't graduate in five years of martial arts, you don't want to take up a job in this life. I can only let the other children in the family try it.

And even if you don't have the qualifications to take up the job, you can only stand out in martial arts, and you may not be able to go out well.

For example, Yang Xin and others.

After a long time, the number of martial arts students was full.

Many people who are not qualified to take up positions also enter the martial arts school.

However, the qualifications for martial arts studies have not been released.

Generally speaking, it is either a hereditary military general's family, and no matter how many children there are, as long as they are of the right age, they can go to school. The second is the honorable nobles, the children of foreign relatives, and civil ministers, who can also ask the emperor for a quota.

Zhu Qizhen has never allowed it.

Even Zhu Qizhen deliberately turned this treatment into a kind of grace, as if it was a quota for the country's eunuchs.

Zhu Qizhen actually intended to expand the scope of martial arts enrollment. But things have to come step by step.

Doing it too fast is counterproductive.

So at this time, the reputation of martial arts is outside the Beijing Division, and there are probably not many people, but among the hundreds of officials in the capital, it is like thunder.

If many ministers feel that the children in their families are mediocre in Congwen, they also wonder whether to let their children enter martial arts to seek a future.

Of course, Jiao Hong said that he was good, not necessarily because he trusted Yang Xin's ability, but felt that if he handed over this matter to Yang Xin, his responsibility would be much lighter.

Yang Xin is the emperor's favorite general, and at first glance he is a key training object.

This kind of person is in the Sacred Heart, even if he loses, there will not be too many punishments. And Yang Xin will not be punished, will he, the person behind Yang Xin, have any punishment?

So his dilemma, because of Yang Xin's arrival, suddenly collapsed.

Jiao Hong personally greeted Yang Xin, and Yang Xin was a little flattered. After the two parties sat down, Yang Xin immediately said his mission.

It is to listen to orders under Jiao Hong and protect Jiao Hong's safety.

Jiao Hong twisted his beard slightly, and said: "In this Fuzhou city, what can threaten the old man, but there is a danger like a tired egg, and a wise and brave general is needed to rescue." ”

"I wonder if General Yang dares to go?"

Yang Xin raised his head sharply when he heard this, and said, "My lord has a life, and the last general will not dare to disobey." ”

Yang Xin didn't know that Jiao Hong was agitating? He knows.

It's just that he has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, and being a guard in the Qianqing Palace seems to be the envy of outsiders to death, but in fact, it is boring.

Although Yang Xin was in this position, it would be of great benefit to him to be able to directly observe the operation of the most central center of the imperial court.

But for a military general in his twenties who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, he hopes to make contributions on the battlefield.

Now, no matter whether Jiao Hong is a radical general, Yang Xin will not refuse, and he does not take these chaotic people to heart, because of Guangxi, among the mountains, the big war of hundreds of people and thousands of people has not stopped much over the years.

Yang Xin also inquired that both soldiers and thieves in the south were rabble.

In his opinion, this is the credit of ironclad.

How can you not take credit for sending it to the door.

Jiao Hong said: "Okay, it really requires guts." Jianning Mansion has been besieged for several days, and now the internal and external news is cut off, I don't know what the situation is, I raised 2,000 soldiers, plus the 500 people you brought, quickly westward, if you can save Jianning Mansion, go to save, can't save, you must hold Yanping Mansion, can't let the thieves go straight to Fuzhou City. ”

Jiao Hong's voice became more and more rapid and serious, but when he arrived here, he slammed it and said in Yang Xin's eyes: "If the thief arrives under the city of Fuzhou, even if you are Your Majesty's favorite general, I will also kill him." ”

Yang Xin immediately saluted and said, "Please rest assured, unless Yang is dead, the thief will never pass half a step past Yanping Mansion." ”
