Chapter 574: Building the Ming Marquis Mansion
"Nanyang has stabilized!" Xi Zhicai's eyes stared at the transcript of this secret music, pondered for a while, and said: "Yuan Shu is so easy to speak, but it is rare!" β
"He's not easy to talk to, he's just a trade-off!"
Mu Jing sneered: "For him to be so arrogant, I am just a grasshopper after the autumn, it is not enough, compared to his great cause, dust, there is no need for him to fight with me at this time, after all, their goal is grand!" β
"Target?"
Xi Zhicai's eyes burst out with a cold light: "Yangzhou?" β
"It's not just Yangzhou, it's the whole south!"
Mu Jing said: "Once Yuzhou is stabilized, he still has Runan and Nanyang, financial resources, population, and army are all at the peak, and no one in the world can compare, so he naturally wants to eat the south in one bite, otherwise he will not be stationed at the junction of Jiangxia and Runan!" β
The news that Yuan Shu hoarded the Jiangdong Army in the northern part of Jiangxia was not difficult to inquire about, and this idea showed Yuan Shu's intentions.
"He has a big appetite, he hits Jingzhou with one hand and Yangzhou with the other, isn't he afraid of choking to death?" Xi Zhicai said disdainfully, in his heart, Yuan Shu is simply a person with great ambition and talent, if it were not for the deep foundation of the Yuan family, as the son of the Yuan family, it would be impossible for him to take the land of Nanyang and Runan counties as the foundation at the beginning, Yuan's prestige is his greatest background, where Yuan Jun goes, there are few obstacles, most of the county commanders and county lieutenants are scholars, and there are many people who look up to the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes.
But the Yuan family's heritage also has a limit, and it can't suppress the ambitions of some people at all, unless Yuan Shu has the absolute ability to stabilize the minds of the princes in so many places and recover them for his own use, otherwise he will capsize sooner or later.
"Last year, the Jiangdong Army attacked Jiangxia's campaign, is there any news record?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.
He realized a big problem.
A little butterfly, after all, instigated its lovely wings and rolled the history of this era to the point that it was no longer familiar to him.
"There aren't many records, they should all be here!"
Xi Zhicai stood up, flipped through the bookshelf on the left side a few times, looked for it, found a dossier, and handed it to Mu Jing: "It should have been sent by Jing Wusi, except for the heel that Jing Wusi turned over in Nanyang, he has developed well in the rest of the parties!" β
Speaking of Jing Wusi, Xi Zhicai had a worry in his heart: "Lord, will Tan Zong be in danger, he hasn't had news for a long time, and he can't even find anyone through Jing Wusi's channels, shouldn't it!" β
Tan Zong, in charge of Jing Wu Division, when the Nanyang County soldiers suddenly attacked the champion, forming the danger of Nanxiang, Jing Wu Division was very derelict in his duties, so Mu Jing recalled Tan Zong from Yizhou and asked him to investigate the situation in Nanyang.
But he never returned, and there was not even a single message, which is really worrying.
"Tan Zong is actually best at one thing, saving his life on the chaotic battlefield, he has nine lives, and the arrows are avoiding him, he is not a big problem, if there is a real problem, I am afraid it will be the problem of the entire Jingwu Division!"
Mu Jing flipped through the file in his hand, and while reading, he said: "Nanyang is indeed a big problem, it should have something to do with Jingping Commercial Bank, the original establishment of Jingwu Division, relying on the cover of Jingping Commercial Bank, how much entangled between the two sides, I can't say clearly, if this time Jingwu Division's dereliction of duty in Nanyang, and Jingping Commercial Bank has nothing to do with it, I don't believe it, but I can't take care of it for the time being, now the stability on the surface is more important, but I believe that Tan Zong can deal with it!" β
After finishing speaking, he almost finished reading these files, there are not many files, and there is not much news recorded, but only some battle news of the Jiangdong Army crossing the river to attack Jiangxia last year.
If his memory is correct, Sun Jian should have died in this battle.
But not now.
Sun Jian's attack on Jiangxia was indeed not smooth, and was blocked by Huang Zu's army, but he was not killed by an arrow, and the Jiangdong army developed rapidly, and it seems that many Jiangdong forces secretly supported it, but let Sun Jian sit on the male army, and also used the battle with Jingzhou Jiangxia to temper the soldiers and horses.
"Zhicai, you said that if Yuan Shu's attack on Jiujiang did not go well, would he send the Jiangdong Army into Yangzhou?"
Mu Jing asked suddenly.
"It's possible!"
Xi Zhicai pondered for a while, and then replied to Mu Jing's words one by one: "But if I were Yuan Shu, I wouldn't do this, Sun Jian is a Jiangdong tiger, a tiger standing on the mountain, only then can he be tamed, the tiger returns to the mountain, he is the king of beasts!" β
"It's just a pity, you're not Yuan Shu!"
Mu Jing joked with a smile before continuing: "I guess Yuan Shu will!" β
"Why?"
"Confidence!"
"You mean, Yuan Shu is confident that he can control Sun Jian!"
"Yuan Shu is most proud of his background, which is also the reason why he has always looked down on Yuan Shao, Sun Jian is also a person, although the Sun family has been an official for generations, and has become a descendant of the military family, in the final analysis, he is just an ordinary squire in Fuchun County!"
Mu Jing sneered: "Yuan Highway is the best at looking at people's background, with such a background, how can he look down on it, he will naturally become confident, he is confident that Sun Jian will stubbornly tie him down and be loyal to him, so once the war is unfavorable and his main force is blocked from the Yangtze River, he will inevitably use the Jiangdong Army!" β
"Yuan Shu seems to be strong and strong, but I feel that he doesn't seem to have too many elite soldiers and horses in his hands except for the Jiangdong Army!" Xi Zhicai flipped through a lot of news sent by Yuzhou and gathered them into a dossier.
"Don't underestimate it either!"
Mu Jing said: "There are still a few people under his command to guard against, Ji Ling has to be careful, this person is brave enough, and the strength of leading the troops is also good, if he is equipped with a qualified military advisor overseer, he will not be easy to deal with!" β
"Then this person has to ask Jing Wusi to send someone to keep an eye on it!"
Xi Zhicai drew a name on the top of the dossier, then wrote a note and handed it to the scribe next to him: "Send it to Jingwusi!" β
"No!"
The scribe took the order and left.
"You, Sima Yafang, have recruited a lot of people recently?" Mu Jing said.
Xi Zhicai led the Ming Marquis Mansion Sima, the post of Sima, the post of the head of the army, the soldiers and horses under the Ming Marquis Mansion, from the conscription, training, command, general deployment, weapon rationing, logistics provision, all under the management, naturally it is a unique one, a self-contained ya.
"You are dignified and ming, you don't care about things all day long, Hu Kongming's house is still in Nanyang, I am in charge of so many things alone, can I not recruit people?" Xi Zhicai said angrily.
"There are a lot of people who have been recruited, but the place is a little smaller!"
Mu Jing skipped his words, he didn't dare to answer them, but changed the topic with a smile.
"Speaking of places, there is one more thing that needs to be done by you, the lord, personally!" Xi Zhicai suddenly thought about things and said very directly.
"What's the matter?"
"Since the Ming Marquis Mansion has obtained the holy decree of the imperial court, it can live in Nanyang and command Hanzhong and Nanyang, this banner faΓ§ade needs to be erected!" Xi Zhicai said: "To put it simply, the opening of the mansion is the same as the three divisions, first of all, you have to open the mansion!" β
"Build a mansion?"
Mu Jing thought for a while, nodded and said: "We really need a Minghou Mansion, and it must be newly built, and the power cannot be small, which involves a problem of face and momentum, and it cannot be less!" β
"Have you figured out where to build?"
"I thought about it before, and I chose a few addresses, but now, I've changed my mind!" Mu Jing said: "I have a good address! β
"Where!"
"Out of town!"
"What?" Xi Zhicai frowned: "Why?" β
After the establishment of the mansion, it must be the center of the administration of the Ming Marquis Mansion, the government decree is issued for it, and the military order is also issued for it, when looking for a safe place, outside the city, there is no guarantee
"Because I'm going to tell everybody!"
Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "The Minghou Mansion doesn't need a city wall!" β
"What if a soldier comes in?"
Xi Zhicai was frightened, but he rushed to act for Mujing Kanto's ambition, but he was still worried.
"If you really get to that point, then fight, go and fight hard, I'd rather die outside the city than stay in the city!"
Mu Jing said indifferently: "The so-called born in sorrow, died in peace, the city is too happy, I don't adapt, only outside the city, can I always remember that this world is too dangerous, I can't enjoy it yet, I need to work hard to grow!" β
