Han Qian personally took Gao Shao, Zhao Wuji, Yang Qin, Han Donghu, Ji Xiyao, Du Yijun, Zhao Jicheng and other Tangyi generals to greet Yuan Guowei's arrival outside the east gate of Liyang.

The crowd did not stay in Liyang City, but passed through the city directly, and went to Donghu New City through the wide galloping road.

After another year of construction, the East Lake New Town is currently considered to be a new scale, the new port wharf, warehouse, workshop area along the lake embankment construction, covering an area of about four miles square, of course, there is a certain amount of lake filling land left outside the dock flood, as the follow-up lakeside workshop area to the west extension of space.

To the east of the workshop, there is a residential area, which currently has more than 1,000 houses, dotted on both sides of more than a dozen criss-crossing streets and alleys.

The scale of the residential area is not large at present, but the east side retains about six miles of planned land.

The north and south sides of the residential area are mainly planned as workshop areas equipped with hydraulic equipment, tung oil trees and medicinal herb planting areas.

In the Nanbei Mountain and Linhu Workshop Area, there are not many workshops built at present.

Before the victory in Wujinling, the craftsmen recruited were mainly engaged in infrastructure construction, and a part of the money and grain were raised in the early stage of the camp to build a weaving yard, a smelter, a shipyard, and a limited dozen workshops such as armor and ordnance, military uniforms, and soap making, mainly to meet the needs of the military.

After the victory in Wujinling, Qiao, Chen, Xiang, Yang and other families invested a large amount of money and grain on a large scale to build a new workshop, but they still urgently needed to expand the scale in the future.

The Yasi and the garrison camp are located in the northwest corner, covering an area of 500 paces square, and it is also the only area wrapped in the city wall of Donghu New Town; Between the government and the residential area, there is also a market with more than 100 shops and inns and traditional workshops.

Between Liyang City and Donghu New Town, larger-scale land is still reclaimed into farmland, planting beans and wheat, etc., scattered in more than 100 villages - in the world, farming has always been fundamental.

In the past year and a half, in addition to the 30,000 residents and residents who have moved in, Donghu County has also recruited more than 10,000 craftsmen from Xuzhou, Jiangzhou, Guangde and other places.

Seeing this kind of situation, after all these years of contact, Yuan Guowei is also very emotional, Han Qian is still strong in governance, and all this is the basis of his unpredictable calculations, and everything in front of him is just the foundation, Tangyi has a more open space than Xuzhou, giving Han Qian to play to his heart's content.

Yuan Guowei was ordered to serve as the military envoy this time, and he came all the way from Liyang City, and on the way, Han Qian also gave a detailed introduction to the establishment of the Tangyi camp system.

In order to adapt to the defensive line that was more than doubled in depth after the victory at Wujinling, as well as to facilitate the defense needs of command and the assembly and mobilization of troops and horses, Han Qian increased the brigade-level military establishment under the town army.

The town army was led by the commander of the capital, and the left and right armies were composed of 10,800 soldiers.

In addition to the 1,200 cavalry under the direct jurisdiction of the left and right armies, there are three infantry brigades under the jurisdiction of the left and right armies.

The infantry brigade is dominated by Du Yuhou, with 3,200 soldiers in each brigade, and each brigade has three capitals in charge of three capitals, except for the guard battalion with 200 cavalry.

Each of them has 1,000 soldiers, with Yu Hou as the main general, and each has three battalions under its jurisdiction.

Each battalion is composed of 400 soldiers, with the battalion commander as the main general.

In this way, Han Qian was able to use the brigade as a military unit and be responsible for a larger defense area.

The left army took Lin Haizheng as the commander, Feng Xuan as the deputy commander, Zhou Chu, Zhao Qi, and Tan Xiuqun as the capital Yuhou, respectively stationed in Chucheng, Tangyi and Shiquan, responsible for the defense of the eastern front, and the right army took Tiancheng as the commander, Kong Xirong as the deputy commander, and He Liufeng, Su Lie, and Dou Rong as the commander of the capital, respectively stationed in Wujinling, Chaozhou City and the Jinniu Village located fifty miles west of Chaozhou City and at the western foot of Zipeng Mountain.

The navy army had Yang Qin as the commander of the capital, Lin Zongjing and Feng Zhang as the left and right commanders, and a total of 4,800 soldiers.

In addition, there were 3,600 guards and cavalry soldiers, with Zhao Wuji as the capital Yuhou, Han Donghu, and Xiao Dahu as the deputy capital Yuhou, stationed at East Lake.

In this way, the Tangyi Xingying Formation Army used up the 30,000 regular soldiers, and it was also the main force of the Tangyi Xingying Formation and Establishment; In addition, there are 20,000 baggage battalion soldiers, some of which are assigned to the main army as auxiliaries, and some are assigned to the counties to maintain daily security and the defense of the inner walled city.

The military logistics of the establishment of the embassy, the promulgation of military orders, the reward of military discipline and meritorious service, the recruitment of soldiers, and even the collection and analysis of military intelligence were all included in the management of the Military Intelligence Staff Department.

The establishment of the embassy has also set up a metropolitan affairs department, headed by Changshi Feng Yi, who is responsible for the civil affairs of the jurisdiction; The Metropolitan Department of the Imperial Office, which is equivalent to the office of the embassy, is headed by the chief secretary Guo Rong.

The newly placed counties of Huaiyang County (Wujinling), Chaozhou City, Chuzhou City, Tangyi, and Shiquan are on the periphery of the Tangyi defense area, and they all have heavy troops, and the jurisdiction of civil affairs and the soldiers and horses of the baggage battalion with half of the main soldiers is also under the responsibility of the garrison commander.

Wushou, Tingshan, Puyang, Donghu, Liyang, and the newly placed Longtan counties became the inner hinterland of the Tangyi Defense Zone, with Gao Bao, Han Chengmeng, Chen Zhiyong, Zhao Jicheng and others serving as county commanders.

The Engineer School, the Martial Arts School, and the Medical Hall were merged into the Liyang School, and Han Qian personally served as the head of the school, but Chen Jitang served as the deputy head and presided over daily affairs.

When Yuan Guowei arrived this time, Han Qian decided to separate the military intelligence staff from the military intelligence staff department and set up a separate military supervisor to put Yuan Guowei in charge, which actually made the military supervision system truly implemented, rather than asking Yuan Guowei to go to Tangyi just as an unworthy "court eyeliner".

Although the East Lake New Town has begun to see scale after another year of construction, the buildings of the Yasi are still quite simple, and there are not too many resources to build pavilions and pavilions for the time being.

The mansion prepared for Yuan Guowei and his entourage is not large, but it is quite elegant.

…………

…………

The temperature is getting cold day by day, and it feels colder than at this time in previous years, and it may be November when the Huai River is about to be frozen in the whole basin, and the wind is blowing again along the border of Chuzhou.

In mid-March, taking advantage of the collapse of the Shouzhou army, the Huaidong Army occupied Shiliang County and was able to fully control the river connecting Fanliang Lake and Hongzepu.

Erected a fence wall in the middle of the river and locked it with iron cables to block the passage of the Liang army's naval division from Hongzepu to Fanliang Lake, and the Huaidong army was able to concentrate a limited number of naval warships to block the invasion of the Liang army's naval division on both flanks of Chuzhou.

Although Huaidong was never able to regain control of the main river channel in the lower reaches of the Huai River from the hands of the Liang army's naval division, nor was it able to launch an attack on Sizhou and Haizhou through the branch Xihe on the north bank of the Huai River, the situation was greatly improved by containing the Liang army's attack on the south bank.

Once the Huai River is frozen in winter, the cavalry units of the Liang army will penetrate from the gaps in the walled city to the hinterland of Huaidong in Pingchuan, but it will be more convenient than the naval army, and it will be more difficult for them to intercept snipers.

However, in any case, Huaidong must learn the previous lesson this time, and resolutely intercept the enemy army north of the Huai River, so as to avoid the reclamation that had been restored with great difficulty from suffering another heavy blow.

Wang Wenqian, who was transferred to the side of Yang Yuanyan, the king of letters, once again assumed the position of secretary, and after entering October, he also followed Yang Yuanyan non-stop to run around the anti-congestion tunzhai to supervise war preparation and training.

Seeing King Xin holding his horse in front, Wang Wenqian and Yin Peng, who served as the palace to join the army, also stopped their horses, not knowing what King Xin suddenly thought of.

"What do you think of Han Qian's establishment of another supervisor in Tangyi to put Yuan Guowei in charge?" Yang Yuanpu touched his face and rode all the way, a layer of cold hoarfrost accumulated on his stubble.

Wang Wenqian's current situation is even more embarrassing than Yuan Guowei's in the palace.

After all, who would have thought that Han Qian and Wang Jun would lead their troops and horses to raid Huaiyang Mountain on the day of their wedding, and they would achieve such a result, so that in such a short period of time, they would completely reverse the pattern of war and defense in Huaixi?

No matter what you said before, no matter how tenacious the Tangyi soldiers were, Han Qian was only on the defensive in Tangyi, and the defense line of Chuhe River and Fucha Mountain was extremely thin, once it was broken through by the Shouzhou army or the Liang army that had been reinforced, Han Qian's inner line south of Chuhe River and Fucha Mountain would suffer heavy losses.

At that time, the situation of Great Chu in Huaixi was mainly dominated by Li Zhihe.

At that time, Wang Jun married Han Qian, although Wang Wenqian insisted on resigning from the post of Yangzhou assassin in order to avoid suspicion, but his position in Huaidong was not so embarrassing.

Others wouldn't think much that he, Wang Wenqian, would have the mind of breaking away from Huaidong.

And now?

After Tangyi won the victory of Wujinling, the Zuolongque army was forced to withdraw from Shuzhou and transferred to Suizhou, and Han Qian was fully responsible for the entire war in Huaixi, and the Tangyi army was also expanded to 50,000 horses.

If the Xuzhou awarded by Han Qian is counted, Tangyi can be said to be on a par with Huaidong in all aspects.

At this time, he Wang Wenqian jumped high and said, he has no disagreement with Huaidong, and he is loyal to King Xin, how many people in Huaidong believe in him?

There was even a banquet, a famous military general drank too much, and said by name that when Wang Jun married into Tangyi, he brought a lot of Wang children, and won Han Qian's trust and was able to serve in the military and political affairs of Tangyi.

During this time, he also became silent in Chuzhou, not thinking of anything to make plans, but just doing his best to divide the affairs under his name and do his best; In the near future, we have also done everything possible to promote the establishment of a cantonment military government system independent of the center, so as to ensure that the generals of the Huaidong Army are loyal to the king of faith, and at the same time, they can also organize production and reduce the pressure on the supply of grain and straw in Huaidong.

It's just that if he does this, can he win back his trust?

Wang Wenqian was haggard, but he also thought about retiring from illness, but he was worried that His Royal Highness would suspect him for retreating and leaving Huaidong in the name of retreat, so he endured it and did not say a word.

Regarding the question of King Xin, Wang Wenqian also found it difficult to answer.

"Han Qian set up a military supervisor in Tangyi, so that Yuan Guowei was in charge of military discipline and meritorious service, and completely implemented the system of supervising the army, it seems that he is still loyal to the imperial court, he should be thinking that one day, the Tangyi army can be under the control of the imperial court-Lord Wang, do you think so?" Ruan Yan followed from behind, stopped the horse, looked at Wang Wenqian and asked.

Wang Wenqian stubbornly said: "I'm afraid that the matter is not as simple as Lord Ruan said-just like Tangyi accepts the imperial court to send a supervising envoy, and it is inconvenient for all towns to refuse, the Tangyi army first implements the system of supervising the army, and the imperial court also has an excuse to ask the towns to follow suit-and in the end, whoever can control the imperial court can rely on this to take charge of the towns from afar......"

"According to what you say, Han Qian's ambition is actually bigger than we think?" Yang Yuanyan asked with a cloudy face.

"Han Qian can sit back and watch the destruction of the Wuya Army on the left and right and stand idly by, which is enough to prove that he is ambitious, but the Great Chu has been founded for more than 20 years, the country and the people of Jianghuai are peaceful, and hundreds of millions of Li people regard His Royal Highness's Yang clan as orthodoxy, which is already the desire of the people, and anyone with dissenting intentions will bring about their own destruction." Wang Wenqian said stubbornly.

"I hope so." Yang Yuanyan lost a word, spurred his horse again, and took the lead in galloping towards the anti-congestion in the distance......
