Chapter 523: Collusion
Han Qian planned that Feng Yi would also be in charge of the affairs of the Chishan Society, and Feng Yi also moved to the side hall with Su Lie, Han Donghu, Lin Sheng, He Liufeng, Guo Xiao and others to discuss more specific matters.
Guo Rong still has to rush to the school.
At present, there are 4,5600 people in Baihogang, and about 10 to 15 years old teenagers and children account for almost a quarter.
Previously, he was assigned to the juvenile camp and carried out some basic drills, mainly to facilitate and maintain order in the camp in a more orderly manner, to completely plug the loopholes for hostile forces to infiltrate and spy on, and to help the strong laborers do what they could.
Now that the materials from Xuzhou can be directly supported, the conditions in the camp will be improved a lot, and the two-year primary school for universal literacy and basic arithmetic will be set up first.
Guo Rong had no place to use in Baihogang, so he found some people with literacy and arithmetic foundation from the old headquarters of the German army in Zuoguang, and took over this matter.
Now the conditions are still very simple, there is no classroom that can accommodate seven or eight hundred teenagers and children, before it was a fine day in the open to teach more than a dozen piles of teaching for half a day, the weather is about to get cold, Guo Rong also has to take these teenagers to participate in the construction of the bamboo house.
The real construction of a camp does not mean that it ends with the construction of hundreds or thousands of straw huts, so that seven or eight people or a dozen or more people can squeeze one straw hut without freezing to death.
If it were just that, they would be no different from the homeless camps.
Feng Yi was lazy, so he stayed by Han Qian's side to speak.
He saw that what Han Qian had laid out before his case was a map of Huainan, which not only marked the counties of Huaidong, Hongzepu, Fanliang Lake, and Shao Bohu, but also the Huai River in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, and the terrain of Huoshouhao, Chushoushu, and other counties in Huaixi.
Looking at Han Qian's dense annotations on this map, it can be seen that even if Han Qian stayed in Baijiegang to preside over the construction of the camp, he always paid attention to the war in Chaozhou and the movements on both sides of the Huai River.
Feng Yi asked: "You seem to be very worried that the situation will change unexpectedly, but Li Zhihe is as stable as an old dog in Chaozhou, where can something happen?" ”
"Yes, Li Zhihe is also a person who knows soldiers and is good at fighting, and he chooses the most secure tactics, so there should be no problems, but the Liang army in Yingzhou has no action at all, which makes people feel at ease." Han Qian did not hide that he was a little worried about the current situation.
Speaking of which, Yang Yuanpu was too suspicious of Xuzhou, and Jinyun Tower was changed to Jinyun Division, which seemed to have greatly strengthened his authority, but the intelligence network established by Han Qian in Liang State in the early days, because the relevant personnel had withdrawn to Chu Realm, were almost all wasted.
The previous military intelligence spy system of the Privy Council Department on Liang also collapsed due to the Jinling Incident. And even under the auspices of Li Pu, the Privy Council staff is re-establishing a military intelligence spy on Liang State, which has nothing to do with Han Qian and Xuzhou.
In addition to Han Qian's envoy to Shu, he left some descendants of Xuzhou lurking in Shu, and he had just decided to rebuild an intelligence network near Gyeonggi, and there was no way to talk about intelligence collection and spying in Liang.
On the other hand, Xuzhou's resources have not yet been rich to this extent, and at most, others are in Baihogang to send a few scouts to infiltrate the north bank of the Huai River to collect some superficial intelligence.
Han Qian closed the map, put some worries behind him for the time being, and said with a smile: "If I am not in his position, I will not seek his own politics, if it weren't for the Chishan Army to set up the main hall here, I wouldn't have to worry about myself." ”
Han Qian had long recognized that Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang was an extremely difficult opponent to deal with, but if it weren't for such a narrow place as Shiliang County, which was the most suitable for Chishan to take root and gain a foothold, he couldn't control that the Chu army might suffer a big loss at the hands of the Liang army.
"If you can really learn from me as heartless and heartless, then there is really no trouble." Feng Yi said with a smile.
Han Qian laughed.
Feng Yi thought of this and said to Han Qian: "It has been four months since Xue Ruogu went to Lishui to take up his post, and his correspondence with Shen Yang has become frequent recently, I believe he should have almost a good grasp of the truth of the assassination......
"We are now colluding with Huaidong, and the news is back to Xue Ruogu's ears, whether there will be a change in his mind, it is still unknown." Han Qian sighed and said.
Xue Ruogu is straightforward by nature, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
Xue Ruogu had suspected that the appointment of Lishui was secretly operated by their side, and now if there is news of the collusion between Xuzhou and Huaidong, will he have other associations, and even the first to detect the clues of the activities of the Chishan Society.
There are some people who can't be led by the nose, and Han Qian can only arrange for people to keep an eye on this matter, and he can't decide anything for Xue Ruogu.
Speaking of which, it was also the persecution of the old German army of Zuo Guang, which was beyond Han Qian's imagination, so that he failed to formulate a comprehensive plan at the beginning, and there was a bit of a disconnect at this time, but he could only grasp the big and let go of the small, and take one step at a time.
…………
…………
Not only the Cishou Palace, after Yao Xishui returned to Jinling by the Weaving Bureau, he found that there were discussions everywhere inside and outside Jinling City about the Xuzhou merchant ships loaded with commercial goods stationed in Yangzhou, and it can be seen that the impact of this incident on the government and the opposition of the Great Chu is far greater and far-reaching than the surface of Xuzhou only transporting two ships of merchant goods to Yangzhou for sale.
In September, the rice fields on both sides of the Qiupu River are covered with golden waves, and the farmers in the fields are filled with the joy of a bumper harvest.
This is mainly the scene of the grange belonging to the Changchun Palace and the Taowu Jijun Mansion, but the counties of Lishui and Jiangcheng in the south and Caishi, Nanling, and Fanchang in the northwest were affected by the Jinling Incident, which lasted for more than a year, and the number of people was greatly reduced, resulting in a large area of abandoned fields.
In addition, the three states of Su Runchang, which were deeply affected by the Jinling War, and Chizhou and Jiangzhou in the west, had not eased up by this time.
However, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the war in Jiangbei, there was no exemption for the money and grain levied, which made the livelihood of the people in Gyeonggi counties and these prefectures and counties most affected by the war more and more difficult.
Of course, the impact of the Jinling Incident was still limited to a certain extent, and did not deal a devastating blow to the agricultural production in Jiangnan Dongdao.
If you can cultivate for another three or five years, the Gyeonggi counties and the Surun Changchi prefectures will almost recover.
Yao Xishui disguised herself as a man, and her personal maid Ye Feiying came out of Changchun Palace on horseback, and entered Jinling City from Donghua City, like a son of a family, with a graceful demeanor, and returned from a trip with a beautiful maid, and turned into the mansion of General Li of Jianning Hou in Yongning Lane from Jinhe Lane.
Yao Xishui and Su Hongyu were both born in the late Red Mansion, so they stepped into Jianning Mansion to visit Su Hongyu to describe their sisterhood, even if they fell into the eyes of people with hearts, they were not afraid of what others would talk about, at most, it was to make people think that there was still a sense of enveloping Li Zhihe in Cishou Palace.
Of course, no matter how much others talk about the disagreement between the Queen Mother and Emperor Yanyou's mother and son behind their backs, they are mother and son in the end. In the eyes of most people, this subtlety will not affect the overall situation of the court.
Li Zhihe had already married the Zhou family from a poor family before Nasu Hongyu became a concubine, but during the Jinling Incident, when the people from the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the County Prince's Mansion fled from Jinling City, the Zhou family was frightened, and after arriving in Yueyang, he fell ill and soon died of illness.
Although Su Hongyu was confined by her background and could not really become Mrs. Hou, Li Zhihe Rong Ma Xuanyu had never remarried, and the son and daughter born to the Zhou family in the main room were also raised by Su Hongyu to her knees, and she was actually the hostess of the Hou Mansion in Jianning.
Su Hongyu's residence in the Jianning Hou Mansion is called Shuqiu Building, the courtyard is surrounded by flowing water, rockery, and the north and south are a three-high wooden building, which is built exquisitely and elegantly, carved beams and painted buildings, very gorgeous.
Yao Xishui and the maidservant Ye Feiying followed the maids of the Hou Mansion to the wooden building, and Su Hongyu was standing against the railing, looking at the ginkgo trees with golden leaves in the garden.
Su Hongyu turned around and saw Yao Xishui coming upstairs, asked the maids around her to retreat first, and asked, "I heard the day before yesterday that you just went to Suzhou to purchase Ayaluo, why did you rush back so quickly?" ”
"Going to Suzhou to purchase Ayaluo is just an excuse," Yao Xishui said, "I got the news before that there was a ship in Xuzhou going to Yangzhou, and I stayed outside the Yangzhou River for seven or eight days. ”
"Oh, I heard that there were people in the city talking about this, and many people didn't believe it, just imagine that when the Jinling Incident happened, King Xin was ambitious, and he had the potential to swallow Jianghuai and ascend the throne, but he was defeated by Han Qian. With the arrogance of King Xin, how could he be eye-to-eye with Xuzhou? Su Hongyu said.
"I'm afraid this is true, we not only saw Yangzhou officials boarding the Xuzhou merchant ship, but also saw Feng Yi in Yangzhou at this time." Yao Xishui said.
"Ah, it's really a thing......" Although many people in the DPRK and China thought that after the recovery of Chaozhou, the collusion between Xuzhou and Huaidong was a proper duty, but Su Hongyu was more or less surprised and said with emotion.
However, she also knew that Feng Yi's appearance in Yangzhou was actually more clear than the entry of two Xuzhou merchant ships into Yangzhou, and she sighed for a while: "In the face of the situation, the so-called arrogance is nothing, but in this way, the situation between the DPRK and China is complicated!" I don't know how Your Majesty will react when he learns about this. ”
"How can he react, hasn't he been playing with Han Qian all along?" Yao Xishui seemed disdainful of this, but her expression was very solemn and asked, "You crossed the river to visit the eldest brother a few days ago, has the eldest brother decided when to take Chaozhou City?" ”
"The defenders of Chaozhou advocate that the Liang army will send troops south at any time, and the morale has not completely collapsed, Zhihe wants to delay it for another half a month, but it will also take Chaozhou City before the Huai River freezes, right?"
Su Hongyu crossed the river to have a small gathering with Li Zhihe a few days ago, but she would not specifically ask about the war arrangements, at this time she just told Yao Yishui about her guess,
"It's just that both sides have relatively clear expectations for this, and for the defenders, as long as they can grit their teeth and carry through this period of time, or they can call Zhihe to break the siege, their morale and will to fight will have a tendency to strengthen......"
"In order to avoid a lot of dreams at night, and to what extent Xuzhou and Huaidong are secretly colluding, the eldest brother still has to take Chaozhou City as soon as possible, and put his main energy on the operation of Chaochu and Chuzhou, and he is not afraid of what tricks Xuzhou and Huaidong will play at that time. In your letter to my eldest brother, I still have to thank you a few words. Yao Xishui still thinks that Li Zhihe should capture Chaozhou City as soon as possible, and then take the opportunity of confronting the Shouzhou rebels to gather generals and run Chaozhou......
