Chapter 108: Jane in the Emperor's Heart
Although Liu Yongxi and Dolgon both believed that an extremely fierce war was about to take place between Jianghuai, and the outcome of this war would determine the national fortunes of the two countries, no one expected that this war would be triggered by Han generals such as Zhang Tianlu, Zuo Menggeng, Dong Yuan, and Geng Jimao.
At present, Liu Yongxi is still busy with the aftermath of Jiangxi, and the political and administrative problems are relatively easy to solve.
Wang Sun Fan was the governor of Jiangxi in the Hongguang Dynasty, and afterwards he got the full support of Empress Zhang and Liu Yongxi to lead the troops into Jiangxi, and now it can be said that he has finally achieved a positive result, and everyone has no opinion when he comes to Nanchang City.
As for Jiang Yueguang's entry into the cabinet and accompanying the army to the army, it is a very dignified thing for the people of Jiangxi, after all, after the fall of Yan Song, the power of the Jiangxi Township Party in the court is not as good as day by day, and now there is another Xiangguo, which naturally makes the Jiangxi people see infinite hope.
On the contrary, the two soldiers and horses left by Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren are not easy to deal with, and although Wang Deren's remnants of the Dashun army are born as thieves, it is easier to deal with.
After all, Bai Wang's department was a well-disciplined unit in the Dashun Army, and when the shaving order was issued, there was strong opposition from top to bottom, including the general soldier Wang Tizhong, and even sacrificed many people, so it can be said that he has a rather simple national consciousness.
Although Jin Shenghuan's department was born in the official army of Zuo Liangyu's department, it is already common sense that the official army is not as good as the thieves in these years.
Mrs. Xing saw the pain in her eyes, and she said while peeling oranges for Liu Yongxi: "It's better to leave the loyalty camp to me for the time being, and the husband can put his mind on Jin Shenghuan's old department." ”
The remnants of the Dashun Army in Jingzhou are now reorganized into the "Loyal Battalion", so the remnants of the Dashun Army in Jiangxi are generally called the "Loyal Battalion", but Li Xiangjun opened his mouth to remind Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing: "Sister Xing, the thieves in Jingzhou can be called the Loyal Battalion, and the Jiangxi Army must not be called the Loyal Battalion." ”
Although Li Xiangjun did not explain the reason, Mrs. Xing immediately understood the meaning of her words.
Everyone knows that the name of Empress Fengtian Gao's "Governor's Five Provinces Military Affairs" is purely just a name, and now the Loyal Battalion has only taken one Jingzhou Mansion, and strictly speaking, it is not a complete Jingzhou Mansion, in this case, the "Governor's Five Provinces Military Affairs" is just an expedient measure, but everyone acquiesces that Empress Gao is the supreme leader of the Loyal Battalion.
If the remnants of the Dashun army in Jiangxi were also named the "Loyal Battalion", then Empress Gao and Jingzhou would think that this "Loyal Battalion" would be under their control after the Huguang meeting, and neither Mrs. Xing nor Liu Yongxi could accept it.
Therefore, Mrs. Xing accepted Li Xiangjun's suggestion as soon as possible: "Husband, Sister Xiangjun is right, you still have an official name for this army and horses, right?" ”
Liu Yongxi immediately gave the answer: "Then call it the Loyal Brigade!"
It is just the inertia of history that the remnants of the Dashun Army in Jingzhou were named "Loyal Battalion", and the remnants of the Dashun Army in Jiangxi were only a few battalions after being reorganized, so Liu Yongxi gave the official name of the Loyal Brigade, but he was still a little worried: "Sister Xing, it has been more than ten years since you left the Dashun Army, how many people do you still know now?" ”
Although Mrs. Xing was once in charge of money and food in Li Zicheng's army, it was ten years ago, and the changes in personnel in the past ten years have long been a matter of fact, even if a few officers of the Dashun Army know that Mrs. Xing is such a number one person, but I am afraid it is also some very negative information.
But when she heard this, Mrs. Xing laughed: "My husband also underestimates me too much, as soon as I enter Nanchang, there are many old friends who want to visit, even if they don't know me in the past, they can naturally find old friends who know me." ”
As the saying goes, "the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor are in the downtown and no one asks", although Mrs. Xing has been separated from the Dashun army for more than ten years, and Gao Jie's department is still the sworn enemy of the Dashun army on the battlefield in the past few years, but now the rest of Li Zicheng's troops have been transferred to the Chengtian Dynasty, and the remnants of the Dashun army of the Loyal and Brave Brigade are also looking for their own backers in the imperial court.
Mrs. Xing is naturally the best choice in their eyes, this is the pillow person of Emperor Liu Yongxi, as long as she can help them solve big problems with a few kind words from Liu Yongxi.
And Liu Yongxi was naturally relieved to hear Mrs. Xing say this, but he still had a question: "But Sister Xing is responsible for commanding the Loyal Brave Brigade, will there be any objections from the Loyal Brave Brigade?" ”
Mrs. Xing immediately laughed: "Who does the husband know who made this suggestion?" It was put forward by the soldiers of the Loyal Brigade. ”
For the remnants of this Dashun army, being led by Madame Xing is not only an honor, but also the best way to solve practical problems.
After all, among the soldiers and horses of the Chengtian Dynasty, the soldiers and horses of the Loyal Brigade can be said to have no advantage, not only are they not as good as those old troops with a long history, but even the new army attached after the founding of the country may not have any advantages.
But if Mrs. Xing leads this army of soldiers and horses, all kinds of problems faced now can be completely solved, and Liu Yongxi immediately laughed when he heard Mrs. Xing say this: "It's still Sister Xing's reminder well, I now know how to solve Jin Shenghuan's troops." ”
Mrs. Xing immediately asked, "Which general is the husband going to let lead Jin Shenghuan's army?" ”
Liu Yongxi immediately replied: "Since Uncle Wang Sun Fan Fujiang, it can be said that he has worked hard and made great achievements, and it is also a good thing to have an extra army and horses in his hands. ”
Although Liu Yongxi only mentioned the exploits of the governor of Wang Sun Fan, Mrs. Xing and Li Xiangjun still heard Liu Yongxi's voice, and it was obvious that Wang Sun Fan was more than one step ahead in the battle for the key position of governor of Huguang.
However, Mrs. Xing and Li Xiangjun thought about it carefully and found that Wang Sunfan was indeed the best candidate for this position, after all, he was not only an old friend of the Sincere Bofu, but also a figure who really started from the state and county.
At that time, he had a very good political reputation in Jining Zhizhou, and it can be said that any problem can be settled, and when he entered Jiangxi last year, he was only 2,000 soldiers and horses, but in a short period of time, he took a small half of Jiangxi, and Jin Shenghuan's old department was handed over to Wang Sunfan, if not the best choice, but also one of several better choices.
It's just that Li Xiangjun suddenly wanted to fight for Wang Sun Fan when he heard this: "Uncle Wang Sun Fan started in the state and county, and it can be said that he has made outstanding contributions to the country and the imperial court, if the country does not have Uncle Wang to contain and build captives in Jiangxi, the country may not be able to establish the southeast of the country, but Uncle Wang is not allowed to enter the cabinet now, it's a pity!"
Although Li Xiangjun said it more implicitly, Liu Yongxi and Mrs. Xing still understood that the example he said was Jiang Yueguang, who had just entered the cabinet, and she was fighting for Wang Sun Fan.
After all, in terms of seniority and merit, Wang Sun Fan far surpassed Jiang Yueguang, but Jiang Yueguang only directly entered the cabinet and followed the army because of the merits of the Nanchang Uprising, and Wang Sun Fan is still the governor of Jiangxi but only has the hope of becoming the governor of Huguang, which is unfair in any way.
But Liu Yongxi laughed: "This is the difference between this dynasty and previous dynasties, the one who starts from the state and county is the real prime minister, although Jiang Xiangguo entered the cabinet, he did not follow the army in the county." ”
As soon as Liu Yongxi said this, Mrs. Xing and Li Xiangjun immediately remembered Lu Zhenfei, who was still sitting in Fuzhou.
Everyone has never understood that Lu Zhenfei was originally the governor of Huai'an in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and he supported King Fu with Empress Zhang, so he went directly to the cabinet after defecting to the Chengtian Dynasty, but everyone couldn't understand why Lu Zhenfei suddenly wanted to go out of Beijing to sit in Fuzhou.
Although Zheng Zhilong is only satisfied with being a rich man, so the situation in Fujian is more complicated, but it is definitely aggrieved to be a governor of Fujian with Lu Zhenfei's qualifications and achievements, but today I heard Liu Yongxi say that "the one who starts in the state and county is the real prime minister" to understand Liu Yongxi's hard work.
Although Jiang Yueguang, who accompanied the army, has already entered the cabinet, since Liu Yongxi personally said that "the person who is in Lizhou County is the real prime minister", I am afraid that Jiang Yueguang will have to make up for a period of experience in the state and county in the future, and Wang Sun Fan, who is in the heart of the emperor, can obviously go further.
After understanding this, Li Xiangjun couldn't help but smile: "Uncle Wang would be very relieved if he knew about his husband's hard work!"
Liu Yongxi sighed: "Who told us that the rise of the Sincerity Mansion is too fast, and there are only a few people who can really be used, as long as Uncle Wang does his best for the country, it is not surprising that there must be a place for him in Lingyan Pavilion, I don't want to say this to Uncle Wang, you help me make it clear to Uncle Wang." ”
He knew that although Li Xiangjun was undecided for Wang Sun Fan out of public intentions, from another point of view, it was also because she had more contact with Wang Sun Fan and had a good relationship.
It's just that Mrs. Xing and Li Xiangjun's faces changed when they heard this, and Mrs. Xing asked in a low voice: "Husband, is this a leak of forbidden Chinese?" ”
Liu Yongxi said generously: "I can't explain some things clearly to Uncle Wang, so I can only ask Xiangjun to help me convey them, Sister Xiangjun always understands what I mean?" ”
Li Xiangjun asked: "Including the sentence that starts from the state and county is the real prime minister?" ”
Liu Yongxi said very clearly: "That's right, let Uncle Wang rest assured, I will not treat the meritorious man badly." ”
Although Wang Sun Fan was an old friend of the Sincere Bofu, he never thought that he had such a status in Liu Yongxi's heart, and after listening to Li Xiangjun's relay, he couldn't help but ask more: "Lingyan Pavilion must have my place, is this really what His Majesty said personally?" ”
Li Xiangjun is now extremely relaxed: "My husband asked me to tell Uncle Wang, please rest assured that Uncle Wang will do his best for the country, he will not treat Uncle Wang badly." ”
Wang Sun Fan knew that he was definitely in the emperor's heart now, so he felt very relaxed: "Your Majesty's hard work, I have always kept it in mind, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to have such high expectations for me, but as long as I have a breath, there will be absolutely no problems between Jiangxi and the two lakes." ”
