Chapter 856: The Western Expedition Resumes
After Shi Ling and Wang Shimiao returned to Beijing, they were summoned by Li Ye to the Daming Palace to discuss the military affairs of the water division.
Whether it is Silla, Japan, or dealing with the Khitan and Bohai Sea in the future, Datang needs to have a strong naval division.
However, there are also some problems in the management of water divisions.
The purpose of summoning the two of them to Beijing this time is to solve these problems.
After discussion, the jurisdiction of the Tenglai Naval Division and the Myeongju Naval Division was redivided, and the north of Tamna, including the whole of Silla, belonged to the jurisdiction of the Tenglai Naval Division; South of Tamna, including Japan, Liuqiu, Jinju and other areas belonging to the Mingzhou Water Division.
Jiang Hong was appointed general of the Denglai Naval Division.
And a sailor's room was set up in the Privy Council, which was responsible for managing the day-to-day affairs of the sailor.
In addition, Li Ye asked the Yangtze River Sailor and the Mingzhou Sailor to find a way to occupy Iwami Province in Japan.
Shi Ling and Wang Shimiao were very puzzled by the will of the Holy Lord, but the two of them were just curious.
At this time, Li Ye would definitely not tell the two that Iwami Country was extremely rich in silver, and after taking here, he would let the three imperial merchants mine it and transport it back.
At night, Li Ye slept in Zhang Yue's bedroom, but before resting, Zhang Yue looked a little absent-minded.
"Yue'er, do you have something to say?" Li Ye said curiously.
"Your Majesty, there is something about the concubine, I don't know if to say it!" Zhang Yue's expression was a little hesitant.
"Just say something, is it Yang Wending's business, or your brother Zhang Lin's business?" Zhang Yue is looking for herself, it must have something to do with the two of them.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have something to do with the Yang family." Zhang Yue said.
"The Yang family? Not Yang Wending's business? Li Ye asked.
"In the past few years, the relationship between the concubine's father and her grandfather's family has been a little stiff, which makes the concubine also very difficult. Didn't the concubine hear that the imperial court was going to migrate people to Hunan and Hubei? Therefore, the concubine is also thinking about whether to separate the two families, so that if they can't see each other, there will naturally be no disputes.
So the concubine thought about whether it was possible to let the concubine's maternal grandfather's family migrate to the two lakes, so that she could set an example for others and make the concubine not have to worry so much. Zhang Yue said.
Zhang Yue didn't lie, mainly because of the events of the year, the relationship between her father and his maternal grandfather's family has always been bad, even if she has become a concubine now, she has not been able to change the status quo.
Although she doesn't have much affection for her father, in this environment where filial piety comes first, if she ignores her father, she is also easy to be criticized.
She had no choice, so she thought of using this method to avoid the escalation of the conflict.
"Yue'er, do you have to think about it, and does your grandfather agree to move out of the hometown where he has lived for many years?" Li Ye thought about it and didn't intend to interfere in this matter.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the concubine has already discussed with Wen Ding, and he also thinks it's okay, and he will persuade his family when the time comes." Zhang Yue explained.
"In that case, I have no objection. If you want to move, let your grandfather's entire clan move over, and go to Tanzhou.
The land is fertile and not remote.
In terms of land, I will let people know Xu Yanruo, and allocate some additional land to you, and reward your grandfather's family in my name.
As for Wen Ding, he has also been in Chang'an for more than ten years, since his family is moving to Tanzhou. Then I will give him a suitable place to serve in Hunan Province, which can be regarded as a test for him, if he can do something in office, I will not be able to promote him. ”
"The concubine is a grandmother's family, thank Your Majesty for your favor."
"Concubine Ai's words are serious, this is all a gesture, and your grandfather's family moved to Hunan, which can also play a leading role in local states and counties."
Referring to this, Li Ye felt that it was necessary to talk about this matter in Shannan West Road, publicize it, and make it not so difficult for the migrant population of the two provinces to do.
。。。。。。
In December of the twelfth year of Qianning (897 AD), Chang'an City, which was full of snow, once again ushered in a farewell.
There were not many people who saw them off this time.
Because in addition to the Right Shenji Battalion and the Right Shenwei Army, there are tens of thousands of people.
Originally, in the previous report of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, Liu Kui did not ask the imperial court to send reinforcements.
However, out of consideration for training the army, Li Ye transferred the Right Shenji Battalion and the Right Shenwei Army to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
The right god machine camp is to pull and practice, led by the commander Zhou Dewei; And the Right Shenwei Army went to replace the Right Shence Army, of course, after this Western Expedition.
Because of the mobilization of the Right Shenwei Army, the Left Shenwu Army was transferred to Xiangzhou to garrison, and the Right Xiaowei was transferred to Luoyang.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, to let the Right Shenji Battalion and the Right Shenwei Army escort grain and grass to the Anxi Dadu Protectorate.
Because there were many follow-up battles in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and there was a lot of grain and grass needed, the imperial court collected 100,000 people to transport hundreds of thousands of stone grain and grass to Hexi.
There are a lot of hundreds of thousands of stones, grains and grass, and more than 100,000 mules and horses alone, if there is no army escort, it will definitely not be safe.
From Chang'an to Shazhou, thousands of miles, no one dares to guarantee whether it is absolutely safe.
These hundreds of thousands of stone grains and grass were also requisitioned from all over the country during this time, which was enough for the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate to use for nearly a year.
Moreover, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate itself also has output, but there are more troops, and it also needs to be allocated by the imperial court.
"You said too, before you wanted to fight and make military achievements, but you didn't have a chance. Well, now it's okay, it's been less than two months since I came back from Nanzhao, and I'm going to go on an expedition again, and I'm still going to the Western Regions, and I don't know how long it will take to return. ”
Seeing Zhang Lian in front of her, the eldest princess of Anhua also had some complaints in her heart, he now knew why the eldest princess of Changning was dissatisfied with the saint who had kept Liu Kui out for many years.
"We are just escorting grain and grass, and we can come back in half a year at most!" Zhang Lian hasn't been to the Western Regions yet, so it's good to take this opportunity to go around the Western Regions.
"Half a year is fine!" The eldest princess of Anhua nodded.
Half?
I won't be able to come back for half a year.
I went to Shazhou for thousands of miles, and I was escorting so much grain and grass that the speed was not fast at all, and I might not be able to arrive in two months.
And they don't have to play, they have to fight, it is estimated that they will have to stay in the Western Regions for half a year, and if they go back and forth, it will take a year to go smoothly.
There were not many people to see him off, including the commander of the Left Shenji Battalion who was also on the way to see him off, but he didn't want to go on the expedition himself, but to send his eldest son --- Fu Yanchao, a captain of the Right Shenwei Army.
"Yanchao, if you go to Hexi, I'm afraid it will take ten years to return. My father also informed General Ding that he would take care of you, so take care of yourself. Fu Cunxian patted his eldest son and said in a deep voice.
"Father, rest assured, the child will not disgrace his father." Fu Yanchao nodded.
"You too, why do you want Chao'er to go, there are wars in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate every year, Chao'er is still young, how dangerous is it to go there?" A dignified and graceful woman next to her was a little dissatisfied.
"The woman's opinion. How do I decide whether Chao'er will go or not? This time to Anxi, not only Chao'er, but also many powerful sons and sons in Chang'an City, and many people from the clan have gone.
Do you want me to intercede with the Holy One and let Chao'er stay? At that time, it was not only me who was embarrassed, but what did you make other people of the same generation think of Chao'er?
My Tang Dynasty established the country with martial arts, and in the early years, the saints had gone into battle to kill the enemy, and Chao'er is now 17 years old, which is a good opportunity to make contributions.
The ancient champion Hou Huo Qubing was crowned a marquis at the age of 17, and Chao'er is now 18 years old, so he should take Huo Qubing as an example and go into battle to kill the enemy.
In the past few years, there has been a big war in the imperial court, and there has been a big war in the Imperial Court, haven't you seen that many magnates in Chang'an have sent their heirs to Anxi this time?
If you can make military exploits and get the title, wouldn't it be a glorious ancestor and a glorious lintel. ”
"I can't tell you!" The woman's face was gloomy, ignoring her husband, and instead said to Fu Yanchao, "Chao'er, you must return safely, A-Niang, or your wife and children will wait for you to come back in the mansion." ”
"Mother, don't worry, the child will definitely return triumphantly."
Just when Fu Yanchao assured him, the drums of departure sounded, and he hurriedly said goodbye to his family, then turned on his horse and rode towards his army.
Outside Chang'an City, when these farewell relatives hid their faces and wept, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians began to set off.
