Han Qian didn't have time to take care of his father's feelings at this time, looked at Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng, and asked, "What are the thoughts of the Zuo Si people now?" ”

The armed guards of the Xuzhou Boat Gang are either members of the Han family, or members of the Xi clan, or Jiang Kou water thieves recruited by Yang Qin, Han Qian doesn't have to worry about what will happen to them, and at this time, he is more concerned about the turmoil of the people of the elite scouts of Zuo Si.

Zuo Si initially recruited elite scouts from the soldiers of the Taowu Military Mansion, and before and after the Jingxiang War, he selected a group of elite scouts from the cottages and prisoners to supplement them.

More than a dozen convict soldiers have nothing to worry about, their families are all in Xuzhou, and after they joined Zuo Si, they were also used by Han Qian as a descendant.

And the cottage elite who were willing to enter the Zuo Division at the beginning, most of them were unconcerned, and they felt that following Han Qian could have military exploits and no worries about food and clothing, and these more than 20 people only needed to work together, and the problem would not be very big.

In addition to these, there are more than 60 elite scouts, their families are still in Jinling, and they know that the Han family's father and son "abducted" them to seek secession in Xuzhou, and their minds can be stable.

In comparison, the thirty slaves and maids that Han Qian received twice before and after came to Xuzhou this time and were more loyal to the Han family.

At present, Han Qian mainly asked Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, and Lin Haizheng to assess the situation of these people.

Tian Cheng sneered, indicating that the situation of these people was very worrying, and their minds were very unstable, but Han Qian was very powerful, and no one dared to say anything openly for the time being, but at least for a long time, he could not completely rely on these people to do things.

These people are carefully selected elites, and they can't be used with confidence, which is actually a big loss.

Han Qian nodded, although he was a little regretful, he didn't ask any further.

The current situation of these people is worrying, and their minds are wandering, which means that the number of Zuo Si disciples is as high as more than 500, and the vast majority of people are also in a panic.

Although Emperor Tianyou had promised to send the dependents of General Zuo Si to Xuzhou so that he could master General Zuo Si before finally presenting the secret edict, Han Qian was deeply skeptical about this.

Emperor Tianyou was very suspicious in his later years, even if on the chessboard of Da Chu, Xuzhou was in a corner, and his status was far less important than that of Tanzhou, but would Emperor Tianyou completely let go of the last point of his father and son?

Han Qian was deeply skeptical of this.

Even if Emperor Tianyou broke his appointment and wanted to control the families of these people in Jinling, he would not be able to express his dissatisfaction.

Han Qian felt that it was better to give up this hope first, so as not to disappoint his expectations and become even more hurried.

Of course, even if Emperor Tianyou doesn't let the family of General Zuo Si come to Xuzhou, it is not impossible to dig out more available people.

Of the more than 500 Zuo Si disciples who were coerced by Han Qian to come to Xuzhou, more than 240 were the sons and nephews of Zuo Si scouts and craftsmen who were also abducted to Xuzhou this time.

This in itself forms a relationship of mutual hostage.

In particular, those elite scouts and craftsmen of Zuo Si who have three or four children and nephews who have all arrived in Xuzhou at the same time, they are unavoidably depressed, but they can basically use them with confidence.

However, these personnel need to be cross-knit and formulated to ensure that everything is under their control.

At this time, Han Daoxun pushed the door and walked in with a little tiredness.

Tian Cheng, Yang Qin and the others all stood up and saluted: "I've seen my lord." ”

Han Daoxun waved his hand, sat down and asked Han Qian, "How do you plan to fully grasp the situation inside and outside Qianyang City?" ”

Regardless of whether the fake drama is really done, or it is further concealed, it is necessary for their father and son to fully control the situation inside and outside Qianyang City from this moment on; Before this, Han Qian and his father had to comprehensively sort out the resources in their hands.

In the future, whether Tanzhou restricts their father and son from obeying orders, or perfunctory Jinling's strict orders, they will completely block the Yuanshui River.

Although the upper reaches of the Yuanshui River can reach the hinterland of the ancient county of Qianzhong, the native Fanmin are full of vigilance against them, and the trade between Xuzhou and the upper reaches of the Yuanjiang River is very likely to be cut off in a short time.

At present, through two rush shipments and early storage, Han Qian currently has 60,000 stone corn, 3,000 stone salt, silk, rice paper, bronze and other materials worth 50,000 or 60,000 yuan in Qianyang City, which seems to be abundant, but it may not be able to support until the autumn of next year.

After all, Han Qian had too much to do to integrate Xuzhou and further activate the military potential that Xuzhou could control for him.

In addition to sorting out the material reserves, it is more important to comprehensively reorganize the state camp and prison camp, so that the people and horses brought by Han Qian this time can be better integrated into the state camp and prison camp, so as to ensure that the Han family can be fully controlled.

This is the basis for his Han family to gain a foothold in Xuzhou and to contain Tanzhou from the upper reaches of the Yuan River in the future.

In the face of the unstable situation of the elite scouts of the left division, the arrangement of personnel needs to spend some thought, and this step has not been discussed for the time being.

At this time, a soldier came over and asked to see Han Daoxun.

There are officials who come to the door to ask to see him so late, naturally they are here to show their loyalty, Han Daoxun was full of bitterness, but he couldn't help but come forward to deal with it, sighed lightly, stood up and barely stood up for a while, and his expression returned to normal.

Han Qian knew that this was a real torment for his father, but at this time, he needed the help of these officials who were inclined to be attached to the situation to stabilize the situation in Xuzhou.

Han Qian was busy until midnight, and only then did he and Tian Cheng, Yang Qin, Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng, Fan Xicheng, Xi Ying, and Zhao Tinger arrange the list of people for the reconstruction of the state camp and prison camp.

Han Qian planned to dismantle the existing state camp, and then select 200 elites from the prison camp and the boat gang to mix with the Feng family's 300 parts, and use the elite scouts from cottages and prisoner soldiers as the grassroots military attachés to rebuild the state camp, with Tian Cheng, Guo Nu, Lin Zongjing and others assisting him in direct control.

Based on the three sailing ships and the remaining 200 armed guards of the boat gang, the water battalion was formally formed, with Yang Qin and Xi Chang serving as the commanders of the main and deputy battalions.

Headed by Xi Ying and Gao Shao, 20 people were assigned to organize the Xuzhou Zuo Division, which was responsible for monitoring the movements of the major forces in Xuzhou, and Gao Shao served as the chief sentinel.

The 240 sons and daughters whose fathers are Zuo Si scouts or craftsmen will all be assigned to the prison camp, and the prison camp will be expanded to about 500 troops, as the basic armament for controlling Qianyang City and maintaining law and order in the city.

In this way, the number of troops they can directly use in Xuzhou has reached more than 1,200 people.

In addition, the number of Xi teenagers under the command of Zhao Wuji and Xi Fa'er is only thirty - of course, the number of Xi teenagers who have been redeemed has far exceeded this number, but there are only thirty people who have been selected to reluctantly cultivate the art of hidden ninja - these people form a secret camp, in addition to undertaking some escort tasks, they must continue to cultivate hard in Xuzhou.

With the assistance of Chen Jitang, Ji Yaoxi and others, Lin Haizheng will organize the existing shipyards, weaving yards, coal yards, iron mines, ironworks, etc. into the craftsman camp, and also integrate the hundreds of craftsmen who have been abducted into the craftsman camp - the craftsmen are uncertain and do not expect them to go to the battlefield, but they are threatened to maintain the operation and construction of the craftsman camp, and there is nothing to worry about.

Those elite scouts who were undecided, as well as some of Zuo Si's disciples, Han Qian disarmed them on the spot, mixed them with the Feng family's dependents, slaves and maids into a labor camp, and sent them directly by boat to the foot of Longya Mountain in the north of Yuanshui, and reclaimed the Dawankou on the southern slope of Longya Mountain, which was thirty miles long.

At this time, it was already the middle of December, and the time left for Han Qian to tame Wuliuxi before the spring water rose was very limited.

In the next three days, a new personnel arrangement was made for the state camp, the prison camp, and the Xuzhou water camp, and a fast boat was sent to Jinling during the period.

Three days later, Han Qian, who had entered the city with the guilt of Jing and the newly organized prison camp to defend Qianyang City, led the newly formed state camp of 500 elites out of the city again, boarded the ship from the Wufeng Mountain Wharf, and sailed north with 5,000 Feng family slaves and servants and their dependents, escorted by three sailing ships.

Yuanshui arrives at the southern foot of Longya Mountain, turns a big bay abruptly, the river flows from the northwest to the southwest, almost 70 miles, passes under the city of Qianyang, and turns east and travels 30 miles from the mountains and mountains, turns again, flows into the territory of Chenzhou from south to north.

The place where Han Qian wants to go is located at the bottom of the big bay of the Yuanjiang River, at the southern foot of Longya Mountain, where the tidal flats are crisscrossed, and there is the largest uncultivated virgin land in Xuzhou, and it is also the place that Han Qian pointed out in front of Emperor Tianyou that it could be used by the three princes to establish a vassal state.

It was formerly known as Elm Bay.

From Qianyang City to Yushu Bay, there are 70 miles of counter-flowing waterway, and there are many barren beaches on both sides that can be reclaimed, and in the past year or so, Tanzhou has been infiltrated one after another by thousands of soldiers, five or six thousand people to build a fortified village, which is located at the foot of the western foot of the Chinese side between Yushu Bay and Qianyang City.

After passing through the Chinese side mountain, Han Qian can see the so-called Chinese village from a distance, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it the Chinese city, although the city wall that encloses four or five miles long is built of rammed earth, but it is more than three zhang high, it looks quite high, and there are battlements on the city wall.

The embankment on the riverside side of the Chinese city is reinforced with stone barges to moor warships, and the west gate tower is also covered with blue bricks, which looks unusually solid.

It can be seen that Tanzhou suddenly saw that it could gain a foothold in the hinterland of Xuzhou, and it was also a painstaking operation.

However, the five or six thousand people sent from Tanzhou have spent their main energy on building the city in the past year, but the scale of the fields reclaimed around it is not extensive, only one or two thousand acres.

At this time, the gate of the Chinese city was closed, and dozens of armored soldiers were guarding in front of the tower, nervously staring at the fleet passing by the river in front of the city.

Han Qian only smiled at this, and instructed the fleet to move on, and they arrived at the southeast foot of Longshanya at dusk, and anchored at the mouth of Wuliuxi.

At this time, the slanting sun paved on the surface of the river, and the golden light was rippling.
