Zhang Ping and Jiang pushed the door in, and saw Yang Yuanpu waving his hand to order the two maids in the house to go out, and stepped forward to salute Yang Yuanpu and the lord of Qingyang County. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢

"When Han Qian incorporated the remnants of Taowu's military households, the situation was also sinister, it was hard to imagine that there would be today's situation, and everyone in Yueyang sought stability, but you were willing to come to Jinling to help regardless of the danger - I heard in Yueyang that you had recovered Anji alone, and it was a great achievement to persuade the Anji Township Gate Lords to be used by the Guangde Army to set up an embassy. I've been thinking all the way, I want to listen to you when I go to Fanchang," Yang Yuanpu sat in front of the brocade couch and motioned to Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu to move the embroidery pier and sit down, "I just told Qingyang about this, and I can't sleep at this time, you say come and tell me, what the letter says is too brief after all." ”

Zhang Ping glanced at the county lord of Qingyang and said, "When Huzhou Assassin Shi Huanghua gave up Anji, the Chishan army had just captured Langxi, and the casualties were extremely heavy, and he was worried that the elite of the Chuzhou army would go south at any time, and Lord Han couldn't divide his troops to take care of the eastern front - the minister thought about His Highness's destiny at that time, even if Huanghua had all kinds of treacherous and calculating, but his admiration and awe of His Highness should be true, so he rushed to Anji with several entourages, and there was really nothing dangerous to talk about......"

Qingyang stood on Yang Yuanpu's side, looked at Zhang Ping, whose face was thin and thin, and one stump arm was hidden in his sleeve, seeing that he was twelve or thirteen years younger than Jiang Shu, at this time it could be said that he was in the prime of life, but his temples were also a little white.

Although Zhang Ping was a secret spy sent to the Huainan Jiedu Embassy in the early years of the Shenling Division, and then hibernated in the palace for many years, Yang Yuanpu and the concubine were so deeply involved with the Shenling Division, and the old people of the Shenling Division were naturally completely unhindered.

What's more, in the early years of secluded palace forbiddenness, Yang Yuanpu and the concubine also had to be taken care of by Zhang Ping a lot in the dark, so that they could support until the clouds opened and the fog dispersed.

In the early days, Qingyang was still afraid that Zhang Ping would be more loyal to the concubine and Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, and was always on guard, but Zhang Ping served as a military envoy several times, and it seemed that he had no chance to independently control the military power, but he also had not weak achievements.

Zhang Ping went east to Jinling to meet Han Qian in such a harsh environment this time, which can be said to have extraordinary courage, and even if his performance after arriving in Jinling was not as dazzling as Han Qian, it was much more remarkable than Li Pu.

Judging from the letter that Zhang Ping handed back to Yueyang, he was relatively fair, and from Li Pu's secret letter to Zhang Ping, it can also be seen that Zhang Ping is getting farther and farther away from the concubine, Li Pu and Lu Qingchen beside the concubine.

Qingyang believed that Yang Yuanpu also had such a cognition, so he didn't say too much politeness, so he left him on duty by his side, and when he entered Jinling City in the future, he would also reuse this person in the inner court.

Although Jiang Shu and Yuan Guowei seem to be more reliable, when it comes to ability and prestige, Zhang Ping is more suitable to preside over the affairs of the internal service.

Yang Yuanpu obviously didn't just want to listen to Zhang Ping's words, he muttered a little, and said, "The attack on Chizhou and Nanling is not very smooth, and the rebels of Anning Palace have more than 70,000 horse infantry and nearly 20,000 sailors in Jinling City, and the contact with Chu and other states on the north bank has not been broken, the situation is so complicated, I need someone around me who can help with advice - in your opinion, is it better to continue to keep Han Qian as the envoy of the Guangde Army and command the soldiers and horses on the East Road, or should I stay by his side and make suggestions for the entire battle situation?" ”

Zhang Ping knew that at this moment, it was not so much that His Highness was deliberately asking his opinion, but that he was using this matter to test his attitude, and wondered if His Highness still felt that he and Han Qian got along too well in Langxi and Guangde?

Even if Li Pu saw His Highness in private before and did not fiddle with right and wrong, it was impossible for Zhang Ping at this time to express his opinions as openly and directly as a hot-blooded young man.

What's more, at this time, the separation of Han Qian from the Guangde Army Envoy Mansion is something that His Royal Highness has already decided to pay attention to, and it is beyond his ability to change, what kind of mold is he going to touch at this time, and what taboo is he going to commit at this time?

He felt that Han Qian should do more for Da Chu, but good steel should be used on the steel blade, always and everywhere to speak for Han Qian, and defend Han Qian, this will not only make Han Qian unhappy, but also put himself in first.

Zhang Ping pondered for a while, and said, "His Royal Highness personally led Yueyang soldiers and horses to enter Jinling City, and the west road was the main direction of attack, and the east road has become a partial division. At the same time, the East Road should protect the grain road from Liangzhejiang to Jingzhaofu to ensure that the grain can be transported into Zhuying in a timely and sufficient amount. Lord Han is good at scheming, and staying by His Highness's side to do things can build meritorious deeds! ”

"Haha, you have been with Han Qian for a long time, you should know him very well," Seeing that Zhang Ping also supported him, Yang Yuanpu laughed happily, and only then did he ask a little heartily, "Han Qian said that after the war, he will return to Xuzhou to continue to guard filial piety, what do Feng Yi, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, Lin Haizheng and others think?" ”

Qingyang was also staring at Zhang Ping, this question was very critical, but she wanted to see how Zhang Ping would answer.

Zhang Ping carefully said with his words, "Even if Jinling is recovered, but the Jianghuai war has not been settled, Feng Yi and the others more or less feel that Lord Han should focus on the overall situation, and keeping filial piety in his heart is for great filial piety——"

Qingyang nodded secretly, thinking that Yang Yuanpu should be satisfied with this answer, secretly feeling that even if Han Qian had the intention of retreating, at least he had not communicated with the henchmen around him.

If Feng Yi, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, Lin Haizheng and others all looked at Han Qian's declaration of retreat to Xuzhou after the war calmly and calmly, it would make His Highness even more vigilant, right?

…………

…………

It was agreed that in the afternoon, Han Qian rushed to the temporary camp rebuilt by the county government early in the morning to see King Tan.

In the early morning, the fog filled the city, and the fog on the river was even heavier.

Although the fog is not conducive to sailing, it is more conducive to hiding whereabouts, and there is no guarantee that the Anning Palace, which has no way out, may jump off the wall in a hurry, and the vigilance inside and outside the city is doubly tense.

"The minister has a good temperament since he was a child, and he is good at using his power to seek risks, and as he gets older, he gradually understands that this can only be a temporary victory. There is no dignified array, no emperor's army, leading his army for a long time, he will be impetuous, and once he encounters a strong enemy, he will suffer greatly. Trapping Langxi is extremely lucky, the minister thinks about it afterwards, panicked, and has not dared to fight a strong enemy again for many months, and he has been embarrassed to serve as the envoy of the Guangde army, and he also asked His Royal Highness to appoint another meritocracy. During the siege of the Golden Palace, I was able to stay behind His Highness to give advice, do my best, and see that my father's great revenge can be avenged, which is enough to comfort my heart; After the capture of Jinling City, I also ask His Highness to allow the ministers to return to Xuzhou and pay tribute to the spirit of the ancestor in the sky......"

In the early morning small-scale summons, Yang Zhitang, Shen Yang, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Li Pu, Han Daoming, Zhang Chao, Zhang Ping, Li Zhihe, Li Changfeng and others were all there.

Han Qian pondered with Xi Ying until midnight yesterday, thinking that this rhetoric could make everyone's face passable, anyway, in everyone's minds, he was a kind of person who was good at using dangerous tactics and taking a good sword, and when the overall situation was decided, he was also the kind of person who was least needed, right?

After Lang Sheng said this, seeing Yang Yuanpu's eyebrows raised slightly, he seemed to be secretly relieved, Han Qian was not surprised, Yang Yuanpu was taught by him in the end, even if he had enough confidence at this time, how could he not be a little jealous of him?

Han Qian glanced at Shen Yang and the others again, thinking about Yang Yuan

Although Pu didn't discuss it with Shen Yang and the others beforehand, after Yang Yuanpu revealed this meaning yesterday, Shen Yang and Zheng Chang should be more or less worried that he would not know how to advance and retreat, and stir up the situation more delicately, right?

Of course, Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Chao, Li Changfeng, and even his uncle Han Daoming and others all looked relieved at this time, and they could imagine that they had already looked at him unpleasantly, only Li Zhihe and Shen Yang were still slightly locked, and they didn't know if the two of them felt that things shouldn't be like this, or that things were more than that?

Everyone has come to this point, involving the interests and lives of countless people behind them, and it is probably impossible to get along with each other as before, right?

Seeing Han Qian looking at him, Shen Yang staggered his eyes, but sighed very inadvertently, looking at everyone's reactions, knowing that even if this matter was a little unexpected, it was over.

The big meeting, which was originally scheduled for this afternoon, not only to determine the choice of route for the three-way soldiers and horses to enter Jinling after the division and the issue of coordinated operations, but also to preliminarily determine some matters concerning His Highness's entry into Jinling City to succeed to the throne.

And when it comes to His Royal Highness's succession to the throne, it is natural that he cannot avoid the reshuffle of Da Chu's power.

When His Royal Highness arrived in Chizhou, when he met Yang Zhitang and Zheng Yu, Yang Zheng and Zheng had already expressed their desire to return to His Highness, and handed over the command of the battlefield to Li Zhihe, Li Changfeng, Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang and other generals.

This is also normal, since His Royal Highness is now in Fanchang City, the control, appointment and transfer of the generals and soldiers and the materials such as armor, grain, money and grain will naturally be concentrated on him.

For Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu and others, in addition to assisting Yang Yuanpu in commanding the final battle, reorganizing and distributing the power of the three provinces, six ministries and nine temples is the focus of their interests in the future.

Shen Yang also had to admit that under the current situation, it was not too abrupt for His Highness to transfer Han Qian to his side to seek work, but what he thought in his heart was that His Highness's scruples about Han Qian, if it weren't so deep, Han Qian would actually be more suitable than Li Zhihe to go to Jinling City to serve as the main general of the siege.

Of course, Shen Yang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Li Zhihe commanding the final siege battle, so naturally he wouldn't say anything at this time.

The atmosphere in the small hall was somewhat subtle and depressing, but Shen Yang, Zheng Yu and the others and even Han Daoming did not want to stand up to dissuade Han Qian, it seemed that such an arrangement was normal, Yang Yuanpu was also secretly relieved, held the long case with his hand, looked at Han Qian and said, "I really need Master Han to stay by my side to make a career, and my confidence can be firmer, but even if Jinling is captured, many things are in a mess, and everything needs to be done, and I also need Master Han to stay in Beijing to assist me......"

Han Qian secretly thought that he insisted on going back to Xuzhou to continue to keep filial piety at this time, which seemed a little grumpy, right? Besides, even if Yang Yuanpu does it for others to see, he will ask to keep him.

In any case, you have to finish the set of "three invitations and three resignations" before it is in line with the courtesy.

Han Qian scolded in his heart, and at this time, he didn't mention it, he didn't affirm or deny it, and he waited until he attacked Jinling.

Next, we will discuss the new arrangements for the Guangde army to set up the embassy after he left.

This is a new issue, and it is an issue that must be resolved as soon as possible.

Yang Yuanpu naturally asked Han Qian's opinion first.

Han Qian didn't want to show a sense of loss or resentment, so he looked at Li Pu and asked, "Marquis Li, are you willing to take on more hardship?" ”

Li Pu was the deputy envoy of the Guangde Army, and he stayed in Fanchang City, so it was natural that Li Pu should be in charge of the affairs of the Guangde Army's embassy.

Seeing Han Qian kicking the ball to him, Li Pu waved his hand again and again

"I've always wanted to be able to serve by His Highness's side, and I don't plan to go back this time!"

After His Highness revealed that meaning outside the city yesterday, Li Pu tossed and turned last night and did not sleep soundly.

In addition to not being able to guess Han Qian's reaction, he was also thinking about what Han Qian would do if he agreed to give up control of the Guangde Army's embassy and stay by Yang Yuanpu's side?

In the early hours of the morning, he couldn't sleep, and he couldn't make up his mind, so Li Pu ran to Wen Ruilin to ask for advice.

Wen Ruilin suggested that as long as Han Qian could understand current affairs and resign from the post of Guangde Army System Envoy, he should also resign from the post of Deputy Commander of Guangde Army System and stay by Yang Yuanpu's side.

It makes sense, but it's actually quite simple.

Not to mention the recruitment of troops along the Yangtze River and the recruitment of troops in Jiangxi, the main garrison of the Guangde Army is more than 100 miles away from Fanchang City at most.

With such a close distance, fast horses can walk back and forth in a day.

This means that after Han Qian handed over power, the soldiers and horses of the three routes would be under the direct control of Yang Yuanpu.

At this time, Li Pu went to fight for such a position that did not have much real power and was likely to be abolished after the war, and completely handed over the reorganization of the three provinces, six departments and nine temples to Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, and Shen Yang, right?

Seeing that Li Pu was unwilling to take over the Guangde Military Establishment Embassy, and they all thought about resigning from the post of Deputy Envoy of the Guangde Army and staying by Yang Yuanpu's side, Shen Yang cleared his throat and said directly, "Maybe it's time to abolish the Guangde Establishment Embassy......

If you want to solve this problem quickly, there seems to be only one answer.

The power structure of the former Guangde Army, which controlled the embassy, commanded the left and right Guangde Army, governed the three counties of Anji, Guangde, and Langxi, and controlled the three prefectures of Xuanshu Rao, was dispersed, and the separation of military and civilian was directly realized.

The setting of six departments and nine temples in three provinces involves a wide range of issues and is difficult to achieve suddenly, but for the smooth development of the follow-up war, Shen Yang has always advocated the establishment of the Privy Council first, and the transfer of soldiers, horses, money and food will be placed under the framework of the Privy Council, and Yang Yuanpu, the king of Tan, will also lead the privy envoy before officially succeeding to the throne.

This is also the consensus that Shen Yang has reached with Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu and others these days, first of all, to ensure that the power is concentrated on Yang Yuanpu, the king of Tan.

After the Guangde Army was dismantled, the left and right Guangde troops could be directly incorporated into the jurisdiction and dispatch of the Privy Council.

Due to the special situation of the three counties of Anji, Guangde, and Langxi, these three counties can be listed separately and treated as a special state, and they are also temporarily included in the jurisdiction of the Privy Council.

The three prefectures of Xuanshu Rao, like the counties of Jiangxi and the counties of Hunan, were all included in the administration of Xingshangshu Province.

Shen Yang even advocated that at this time, Jiangxi's right to recruit the embassy to control Hongjiang, Chixin, Fujiang, and other prefectures should also be abolished.

The Guangde Army was dismantled and disbanded, not only did there be no need to send someone to replace Han Qian, Li Pu and Zhang Ping could return to Yang Yuanpu's side to work.

The three elite of the German army in Zuoguang promoted Lin Haizheng to be the deputy commander of the capital, and he could carry out unified command as a soldier and horse.

Even if he had long been prepared to hand over the military power after the war, Han Qian was somewhat caught off guard by the direct dissolution of the Guangde Army System at this time.

However, seeing that Yang Yuanpu, Shen Yang and the others were all looking at him, Han Qian could only suppress the bitterness in his heart, and said happily, "Mr. Shen Yang, this is a very good discussion......

"Yet

I don't know who is going to preside over the affairs of the three counties? Zheng Yu asked in a deep voice.

Hearing Zheng Yu say this, Li Pu happily said broadly, "I think Han Daochang, the assassin of Shezhou, is quite familiar with the affairs of the three counties, and he is Han Qian's uncle, he will be able to preside over the three counties, and he should be able to cooperate with Chen Jitang, Ji Xiyao and others who Han Qian stayed in the three counties, and do a good job in the resettlement of hundreds of thousands of women and children." ”

Shen Yang advocated that at this time, he should directly dismantle the Guangde Army's system and set up the embassy, which was a public affair and the best way to solve the problem of the three counties at present, but when he blurted out Li Pu's words, he was apprehensive in his heart, but before he could open his mouth to refute Li Pu's suggestion, he heard that Yang Yuanpu had already asked Han Qian directly

"Master Han, what do you think?"

"Although it is said that the virtuous do not avoid relatives, it is really inconvenient for the ministers to comment on this matter, please ask Your Highness to decide." Han Qian suppressed the urge to grit his teeth, and said calmly, as if there was no trace of hideousness in his heart at this moment.

"Since Master Han doesn't object, then transfer Han Daochang to temporarily preside over the placement of women and children in the three counties!" Yang Yuanpu also ignored Shen Yang and Li Zhihe's intention to dissuade him, and decided categorically.

…………

…………

Time flies like a white horse, discussing some things, half a day has passed, everyone has a simple meal in the back house, it is the time for the afternoon discussion.

Yang Yuanpu wanted to change his formal python robe and tidy up his appearance, and Han Qian, Shen Yang and the others moved to the front hall to wait first.

As more people arrived in the afternoon, the small county hall was soon crowded.

Fortunately, a considerable number of generals had left Fanchang yesterday and returned to the camped city, otherwise the small county yaqian hall would not have been able to stand so many people.

The big discussion is much more formal than the early morning discussion, and it can also be said that it is a quasi-court meeting before the new emperor ascends the throne, and the generals discuss the seniority, headed by Yang Zhitang, Li Pu, Han Wenhuan, Shen Yang, Zheng Yu and others, and stand in the hall in turn.

The Han family is represented by the old man Han, located in front of the civil and military generals' train, Han Qian resigned from the two positions of the Guangde Army Commander and the Zuoguang German Army, in order to participate in the military from the Xuzhou Assassin History under the four products and the Tan Wangfu Consultation and Military Discussion, almost had to stand in the corner of the lobby near the door with Wang Lin and Wen Ruilin.

Fortunately, Zhang Ping and Jiang Xu, who were in charge of the order of the big discussion, really couldn't look past it, and arranged him to stand under Li Zhihe.

Han Qian stood in the crowd, looking coldly at the reactions of the people in the lobby.

Wu Zun, as the assassin of Hangzhou, moved left from the household department earlier, and before the Jinling Incident, he lived in the fourth grade, and Hangzhou was Shangshangzhou, and his status was much higher than that of Xuzhou, which was in the territory of Great Chu.

Xiuzhou Thorn Shi Chen Fanpin's rank is slightly lower, but he and Huzhou Thorn Shi Huanghua, who temporarily stayed in Yangjiang, are sons and daughters.

Wu Zun, Chen Fan, Gu Zhilong, who was the first to join him, and Fu Mo, who later served as the assassin of Raozhou because of his persuasion, the four of them stood above the lobby and could be said to be the representatives of the Jiangdong family's gate valve forces.

Even if the Jiangdong family gate valve cannot be regarded as the descendant of the three princes, in addition to the Huzhou soldiers led by Huanghua and the Youguang German army led by Gu Zhilong, the grain and straw and other materials for the follow-up attack on Jinling will be mainly raised from Hanghu Xiuqu and other prefectures, and tens of thousands of people will be transported into Langxi and Xuancheng through the northern foot of Fuyu Mountain, and then transported to various military camps through Langxi and Xuancheng.

Looking at Wu Zun, Chen Fan and Gu Zhilong standing in the opposite train quite calmly and whispering something, after the new emperor succeeds to the throne, their positions will be missing.

Yang Zhitang, the king of Yuzhang County, and his son Yang Fan represented the clan and the family gate lords in Jiangxi Prefecture.

Even if Yang Zhitang returned to Yang Yuanpu's side and handed over the soldiers and horses of the original Jiangxi Recruitment Army to the command of Li Changfeng, the Marquis of Linjin, the Jiangxi Recruitment Army, which was dominated by Hong Yuanzhou's soldiers, and the generals and battalion commanders were all descendants selected by Yang Zhitang from the children of the Hongyuan Prefecture families.

Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zheng Hui, Zheng Xingxuan, father and son, uncle and nephew, can be said to be the representatives of the family gate valve in Huangzhou and surrounding states and counties.

Zhang Chaonai was a representative of Langtan and other Hunan forces that had joined the family.

Zhang Chao and his brother Zhang Han seem to be weak, and they were only forced to join during the war to cut the feudal domain, and they did not have many outstanding achievements, but since the establishment of Hunan Xingshangshu Province, the departments of the various academies and departments have to be in a hurry to prepare for the establishment, so they can only join from Yuezhou, Langzhou, and are not particularly involved with the Ma family.

These people are naturally led by Zhang Chao and Zhang Han.

When Yang Yuanpu entered Jinling, he wanted to reorganize the three provinces, six departments and nine temples, and most of the officials who rebelled against the Anning Palace had to be purged, and it was difficult to select enough civil officials from all over the country.

This also directly determines that the power and influence of the two brothers Zhang Chao and Zhang Han will never be weak in the future.

Of course, in the lobby, there are still the most people in the Xinchang Marquis Mansion.

After Li Yu died of illness, Li Changfeng, Li Xiu and other figures in the royal mansion of Zhedong County, if they did not have the ambition and willingness to stand on their own, they would naturally stand with the Xinchang Marquis Mansion.

Coupled with Li Pu, Li Zhihe, Zhou Yuan, Li Chong, Gao Long, Li Mo, Deng Tai, Wen Ruilin and others, the characters of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion have accounted for one-third of the people above the lobby at least on the surface.

Of course, it also needs Xinchang Hou Li Pu to have the ability to hold these people to believe.

Speaking of big discussions, in fact, many things have been discussed with Shen Yang, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Yang Zhitang and others before entering Fanchang, and they will be announced for everyone to discuss at this time.

The first is how to organize the final battle against Jinling.

The plan that Yang Yuanpu, Shen Yang, Zheng Yu, and Yang Zhitang initially discussed was to recruit troops along the Yangtze River, continue to advance along the south bank of the Yangtze River by land and water, and march step by step from the southwest to Jinling City through Dangtu and quarrying.

After the Youguang German army entered the east of Maoshan and joined the Huzhou soldiers, it was mainly responsible for recovering Jiangcheng County at the southern foot of Baohua and attacking Jinling from the east.

After the German army of Youguang advanced eastward, the heavy task of attacking Jinling from Nanling to Lishui from the south was undertaken by the Jiangxi Recruitment Army.

In this way, it will be possible to encircle Jinling from the military side.

The battle was divided into two stages, the first stage was to occupy and clean up the enemy-occupied city fortifications on the periphery of Jinling, and the three routes of soldiers and horses were respectively led by Li Zhihe, Li Changfeng and Gu Zhilong, and the second stage was to advance to Jinling City, with Li Zhihe as the main general, leading and dispatching the attack on Jinling.

In addition, the Privy Council and the Council were established.

The Privy Council is a military and political institution, and the former dynasty set up a main hall in the province of Menxia, as a place for the prime minister to discuss politics, and also a place for government decrees.

The establishment of the Privy Council and the Government Hall in Fanchang City represented that before the capture of Jinling, the new Chu court had taken shape.

The specific ministry settings and candidates have also been discussed by Shen Yang, Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang and others on the way to Fanchang City.

Shen Yang, Zheng Yu, Zhang Chao, Han Daoming, Zheng Chang, Wu Zun and others are the left and right ministers and governors; In the Privy Council, Yang Yuanpu led the Privy Council, with Yang Zhitang, Li Pu, Chen De, Han Qian, Li Zhihe, Li Changfeng, Zheng Hui, Gu Zhilong, Gao Chengyuan, Chai Jian, Huang Hua, Zhou Yuan, etc. as the left and right deputy envoys and advisers to the military.
