According to the defense plan drawn up by the General Staff Department, Liao Shanhe, the defending general, will lead 10,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliary troops to sit in Hangzhou.

30,000 people, which seems to be a lot, in fact, these people are pulled to the city wall, and it just covers the entire city wall.

However, after Li Zhongyi entered Hangzhou, he did a very important thing, that is, among the generals of the forbidden army in the former Wu Yue Kingdom, the officers above the command level were placed under house arrest in the camp.

Although there are still tens of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army of the former Wu Yue Kingdom in the city, they must be scattered without the command of the generals.

In addition, Li Zhongyi's plan is very clear, after Ma Guangda cleans up the remnants of the enemy in Muzhou, he will recruit 30,000 soldiers of the former forbidden army of Wu Yue Kingdom to use as civilian husbands with the army.

In this way, the Li family army led by Liao Shanhe gained an overwhelming military advantage in the entire city of Hangzhou.

The auxiliaries of the Li Jiajun have always been a supplementary existence to the soldiers, and they have all experienced complete military training and have also been in battle formations.

The shortcomings of the auxiliaries are that they have always played a supporting role, and have not played the role of the main force.

However, Liao Shanhe has 10,000 battle-hardened soldiers as the backbone, and the inherent defects of 20,000 auxiliary soldiers have been made up to the greatest extent.

On the third day after the examination was announced, Li Zhongyi passed down the edict that tomorrow afternoon, in the back garden of the palace, he would collectively summon the top 100 candidates in the examination.

After Zhang received the notice this year, his mind that had just calmed down immediately fluctuated again.

You must know that Li Zhongyi was the emperor of the Qiang Han Dynasty and the supreme conqueror of the entire Wuyue Kingdom. If, through this summons, Li Zhongyi's appreciation is obtained, and he will soar from then on, and even rise to prominence, it can be expected!

"What does Li Zhongyi like?" Zhang Bennian sat in front of the bookcase and fell into deep thought.

Just when Zhang was happy and worried this year, Huang Guangqun, who was admitted to the second place, had the same anxiety.

Unlike Zhang, Huang Guangqun is just a charge in the Hangzhou government. Oshiji, the name is very good, but in fact, he is just a small official who does not enter the stream.

According to the rules of the former Wu Yueguo, no matter how long the qualifications of the subordinates are, they are not allowed to be officials.

Huang Guangqun originally thought that his life would end at the level of Oshi. Who would have thought that after Li Zhongyi entered Hangzhou City by force, he immediately issued an order to seek talents.

The meritocracy order is very clear that no official or official can take the exam. Moreover, as long as the examination is passed, the subordinate can also become an official.

Huang Guangqun was actually a little hesitant, for fear that what Li Zhongyi said was a deceitful nonsense. However, he hesitated again and again, but after all, he still couldn't resist the attraction of being an official, so he turned his heart on and signed up for the exam.

When he signed up, Huang Guangqun was surprised to find that many of his former colleagues who were also subordinates had come to register.

After making this discovery, Huang Guangqun immediately realized that he was not the only one who wanted to be an official, but there were many of them.

Huang Guangqun, who has read all the history books, knows very well in his heart that the last time he publicly called for virtuous lords was actually Cao Mengde during the Three Kingdoms period.

At that time, when the Shi clan and the Shu clan were very different, Cao Mengde's meritocracy policy attracted a large number of people with real talents and learning, and followed him.

This time, Li Zhongyi deliberately made it very clear in the edict that there is no distinction between north and south, people are not noble or low, as long as they are scholars, they can participate in public examinations.

I'm going to see the real chapter tomorrow afternoon!

Huang Guangqun was at home, rubbing his hands and circling around the room, and his mind was extremely difficult to calm down.

Huang's wife, Liu, endured and endured, but she couldn't help it, so she complained: "Official, you have turned hundreds of circles, and the slave's eyes are dizzy. ”

Huang Guangqun woke up suddenly, then stopped, and said with some embarrassment: "The emperor summoned me tomorrow to think about countermeasures for my husband, I am a little out of shape, and I ask your wife for your forgiveness." ”

"I'm nothing, I'm afraid that you, husband, will make you dizzy first, and you won't be able to find your way to the palace tomorrow." Liu has been married to Huang Guangqun for many years, has three sons and one daughter, and has a very stable position in the Huang family, and dares to tell some innocuous jokes.

Huang Guangqun smiled and said, "Our family is not short of money, but there is a shortage of people who are officials." For my husband, I won the second place in this exam, and I have a lot of hope of being an official. ”

Having said that, Huang Guangqun's heart has always been suffering from gains and losses, seven up and eight down, but I am afraid that in the end, I will be happy in vain!

Liu covered his mouth and laughed softly: "Official, you are too worried. The emperor of the strong Han country openly assesses talents, and the official ranks second, so he can get a petty official to do no matter what. ”

Huang Guangqun's eyes lit up suddenly, as the saying goes, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, and Liu's words woke him up.

If he can be an official, it is gratifying, even if he can't be an official, he is just a subordinate, and he can afford to lose more than Zhang Bennian, who was the first official!

"Hehe, there is no one who knows me than Mrs. Ye!" Huang Guangqun was too anxious, but now, he is not in a hurry.

Li Zhongyi, the emperor of the Qiang Han Dynasty, once said a vulgar sentence, if you want to die in the sky, you will not die for thousands of years!

After Huang Guangqun figured it out, he simply let go of the gains and losses, and his mentality became much calmer.

In this compartment, Huang Guangqun stopped circling, and in that compartment, Zhang became more and more anxious this year.

Just because, Zhang Ben got a shocking news that after being summoned from the back garden of the palace, the main force of the Li family's army will continue to move west.

This news was not leaked from Li Jiajun, but told to him by a junior officer of the forbidden army that Zhang had saved this year.

The former junior officer of the forbidden army of Wu Yueguo, surnamed Zheng and named Jiangzhong, was originally a deputy head of the forbidden army of Wu Yueguo.

After Li Zhongyi entered the city of Hangzhou, Zheng Jiangzhong was confined to the big training ground in the city and was not allowed to leave for half a step.

Originally, Zheng Jiangzhong thought that they, the forbidden troops of the former Wu Yue Kingdom, would be sent home.

Who would have thought that just a few days ago, many officers of the Qiang Han Dynasty came to the big drill ground and selected more than 20,000 strong men, including Zheng Jiangzhong, who was mixed in the soldiers.

The main reason why Zheng Jiangzhong escaped the scrutiny of the Military Judge Advocate General's Department was that he treated the soldiers well on weekdays, and he got along with everyone, and everyone was willing to cover for him, without revealing the identity of a petty officer.

At that time, the Judge Advocate General's Department took away all the officers above the command, and the soldiers were worried that Zheng Jiangzhong would also be arrested and killed.

After being chosen, Zheng Jiangzhong Yuri led him and got the opportunity to go home and get something.

So, through Zheng Jiangzhong's wife, Zhang got the news that Li Jiajun was about to go west.

Letting the former Wu Yue forbidden army soldiers who acted as people's husbands go home to get things is actually a bureau set up by Li Haodong, if it is a guy with different ambitions, I am afraid that he will not come back this time.

The unstable hearts of the people are actually a big taboo in the army, and Li Haodong deliberately took this good opportunity to screen out the Wu Yue people who were not willing to cooperate.

It was easy to let the selected people out, but there were less than 20,000 people who came back, and more than 3,000 people ran away.

Li Haodong was very satisfied, more than 3,000 unstable elements, he took the initiative to leave the team, how much manpower, material and financial resources did he save for review?

However, what Li Haodong didn't notice was that after Zheng Jiangzhong went home to pack a simple bag, he actually returned to the barracks.

For Li Haodong, Zheng Jiangzhong is just an insignificant deputy capital, and it is not worth mentioning at all.

However, after Zhang Bennian learned the news that Li Jiajun was about to go west, he was equivalent to getting the first move in Go!

For the newly conquered Wu Yue Kingdom by Li Zhongyi, after the army marched westward, the most worrying thing must be whether the situation is stable?

As a senior local low-level official, Zhang Bennian is extremely familiar with the old situation in Hangzhou.

For example, if the city of Hangzhou is to remain in a stable state, it is necessary to let the merchants open the market, and the idlers have a job.

To put it bluntly, to live and work in peace and contentment, the two must live in one of them, otherwise, there will be chaos.

In the bustling and lively city of Hangzhou, there are many idlers. Most of these idlers are engaged in coolie work, whether it is a dock, a shop, or an inn, they can be seen everywhere.

As far as Zhang Bennian knows, these idlers have the bad habit of eating grain, and they are used to having wine today and getting drunk today.

When Li Zhongyi's army was in the city, these idlers did not dare to make a mistake, if the main force of the army advanced westward, Zhang Bennian dared to assert that these idlers would definitely make trouble.

Now that Zhang Bennian learned this inside story, he has more confidence in benefiting from tomorrow's summons in the back garden of the palace.

Li Zhongyi has always had the habit of taking a lunch break, and every day after lunch, he would walk in the back garden for half an hour, and then perch for half an hour.

Today, Li Zhongyi had just laid down on the couch when he heard Zhu Niang's voice, "Your Majesty, there is a military report from Yang Lie's side." ”

Li Zhongyi had instructed that no matter whether he had slept or not, as long as the military news from the front came, he must be told immediately.

Zhu Niang didn't want to disturb Li Zhongyi's lunch break, but the military situation was urgent, and she had no choice.

Li Zhongyi opened the letter with chicken feathers, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing.

Yang Lie deliberately mobilized troops and horses in the north of the Yangtze River to attract Lin Renzhao's attention, and at the same time cover Li Zhongyi's major action to destroy Wu Yueguo.

Lin Renzhao knew that Yang Lie's frequent troop transfers were likely to be deceitful, but he didn't dare to be careless at all.

After all, Lin Renzhao did not dare to divide the naval division of the Southern Tang Dynasty into two, and the principle of using troops if the force was weak was clearer than anyone else.

"Yes, yes, Yang Lie has completely restrained Lin Renzhao." Li Zhongyi touched his chin and smiled with satisfaction.

Since he was no longer sleepy, Li Zhongyi simply sat on the couch and ordered Zhu Niang to take his special pen and write a long letter to Yang Lie.

The main content of the long letter was to let Yang Lie then contain the main force of the naval division of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so as to give Li Zhongyi time to move out of the west.
