The Rite Month Order: Heavy snow, November Festival. The big one, Sheng also. So far, the snow is in full bloom.

Qingyang sat in front of the wooden lattice window, looking at the fine snow flying in the courtyard of Changxin Palace, and did not see the accumulation of a shape for most of the day, sighed tiredly, and wrote a poem on the rice paper: "I am surprised that the pillow is cold, I see the window again, I know that the snow is heavy at night, and I hear the sound of folding bamboo...... "I crumpled the rice paper into a ball casually, and secretly said in my heart that this fine residual snow does not look like anything, and it really should not be the scene of this poem."

"What are you thinking?" A beautiful female palace walked in, saw Qingyang sitting in front of the window, and on his beautiful and flawless face, he looked worried, and walked over and asked.

"I'm thinking that at this time, every household in Shudu is marinating salted meat, right?" Qingyang raised his white snow-like arm, supported his pink and soft chin, glanced back at the female palace, and said.

"There is also a saying in Jinling City that 'small snow pickles, big snow pickled meat'. When the slave family did not enter the palace, as soon as this solar term arrived, every household in the neighborhood was busy pickling salted goods, adding star anise, cinnamon, pepper, caramel and so on into the pot and stir-frying, waiting to cool and thoroughly coated in the fish, meat or chicken and poultry inside and outside the repeated kneading, watching the meat sè from fresh to dark, put it into the tank, take the stone to press, take it out after half a month, boil and marinate again, and then ten days, it can be hung under the eaves of the sun to dry, waiting for the arrival of the New Year......

The female palace was very yearning to recall the life before entering the palace, and it was a bit abrupt to say this in front of the noble concubine Niangniang, who was far away from her homeland, and changed the topic and asked,

"In the past two days, there have been mandarins and snow oranges to pay tribute to the palace, by the way, there are also red cane tributes from Xuzhou, and the slave family will go to get some for the mother?"

"Is there red cane also grown in Xuzhou?" Qingyang asked suspiciously.

She has been studying since she was a child, and she has also been involved in the scenery of various places, knowing that there are many sugarcane plantings in southern Zhejiang, Lingnan, Nanzhao, etc., and the sugar extraction from sugarcane in these places has gradually become a scale in the previous dynasty, but she has never heard of sugarcane cultivation in Xuzhou, and she actually paid tribute to the palace.

Since she was idle, Qingyang asked the female palace to bring some oranges, oranges, and red canes from the state and county, and sent someone to Chongfuguan to invite Yun Puzi into the palace to play chess with her.

Yun Puzi was gray-haired, but his spirit was extremely energetic, and he came to the palace to ask for peace, and moved to the warm pavilion at the east of the main hall to set up a chessboard.

Looking at the white porcelain fruit plate with seasonal oranges, sugar cane and other fruits, Yun Puzi smiled: "In the heavy snow season, it is advisable to nourish the body, as the saying goes, 'heavy snow makes up, and you can fight tigers in the coming year'......"

"What am I going to do with the tiger?" Qingyang said with a smile, please Yun Puzi to eat at will.

"Red cane is a good thing, these from Xuzhou tribute, Your Majesty gave some to Guanli before, but unfortunately the old Taoist teeth shook and he couldn't gnaw it." Yun Puzi looked at the sugarcane in the fruit bowl that had been torn by the maid and cut into thin branches, and said with emotion.

"I didn't know that sugarcane was also grown in Xuzhou?" Qingyang asked curiously.

"Xuzhou used to not plant these, and there were very few, but in recent years, the Marquis of Qianyang has promoted more sugarcane and cotton planting in Xuzhou, and traveled to and from Jinggi with merchant ships, and Xuzhou red cane was also famous in Jinling City, not slightly weaker than Qianyang cloth." Yun Puzi told Qingyang about some things outside the palace forbidden.

Qingyang looked at the sky outside the high courtyard wall with a longing, no matter how noble her identity was, but she was also a caged bird who was not allowed to gallop on the long street, and her life was boring.

"Mother," a young boy stumbled under the careful escort of several palace maids

walked in, called in a milky voice, and saluted Yun Puzi seriously, "Pu'er has seen Yun Dao Chang......"

"Yun Laodao has seen the eldest prince." Yun Puzi returned the salute in a serious manner.

Qingyang took the young child into his arms, let him sit on his lap and grab two snow oranges to play, motioned to the eunuch and the palace maid to stand under the corridor, and asked Yun Puzi: "The wedding of the Marquis of Qianyang is coming, according to you, what congratulatory gifts should Changxin Palace send in the past?" ”

"The marquis of Qianyang's wedding, but Jinling did not set off any turmoil, it seems to be a very common, commonplace thing, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother will have a reward, I heard that Zhang Ping, the inner chamberlain, is having a headache about raising a gift list these days. As for the other rewards, Concubine Han and Qianyang Hou are cousins, and the rewards will definitely not be light, and the Niangniang side will follow Queen Huang with a gift, which can be regarded as a ......gift," Yun Puzi said.

"The Marquis of Qianyang married the daughter of Wang Wenqian, or the matchmaker that King Shou personally went to protect, Yun Daochang, what do you think of this?" Qingyang asked.

"Although Wang Wenqian is the advisor of King Xin, King Xin is the vassal king of Great Chu, and the Marquis of Qianyang and King Shou are also princes of Great Chu," Yun Puzi said, "If you just speculate on people's hearts, there are really few loyal ministers and good sons in the Manchu Dynasty, but as long as the court soldiers are strong and strong, and the border is in trouble, don't care about people's hearts, then everyone is a loyal minister and good son of Great Chu." ”

"Good!"

Hearing Yang Yuanpu's applause sounding at the door, Qingyang and Yun Puzi were startled, and they turned their heads to see that they didn't know how long Yang Yuanpu had been over, and none of the eunuchs and palace maids in front of the corridor made any movement to remind them.

"Yun Puzi is talking nonsense, please forgive your majesty!" Yun Puzi also knelt in front of Yang Yuanpu and kowtowed to ask for guilt.

What he said just now didn't sound like a problem, but when he said this to the county lord of Qingyang, in the world when the harem was forbidden to discuss political affairs, his crime was to bewitch the palace.

"Yun Dao Chang flat," Yang Yuanpu motioned to Yun Puzi to get up silently, he sat on the soft couch opposite Qingyang, saw that only a child had not fallen on the chessboard, and asked with a smile, "There is not a son yet?" ”

Qingyang suppressed the chill in his heart, restrained himself from looking at the palace envoys and eunuchs who were waiting outside the corridor just now, and said with a smile: "In the past few days, I have heard that the palace is talking about the marriage of the Marquis of Qianyang, and the concubine thinks that the Marquis of Qianyang has made great contributions to Dachu and His Majesty, and the Changxin Palace must always come up with a reward, so as not to chill the heart of the hero-Your Majesty, do you say this is the reason?" ”

Yun Puzi glanced at Chen Ruyi and An Jixiang, who walked in with Yang Yuanpu, and thought that Jinyunsi was forced to disband, and the two returned to serve by Emperor Yanyou, but their skills did not fall.

He was so negligent that he didn't notice that there were so many people in the Changxin Palace who were secretly bought by these two people, so that he was talking to the county lord of Qingyang, and he didn't know how long Emperor Yanyou had been eavesdropping outside.

Thinking of this, Yun Puzi also felt a chill rushing up from the tail vertebrae.

"The Marquis of Qianyang has indeed made great contributions to me, I am still having a headache for the reward these days, and the concubine is also consulting for me......" Yang Yuanpu stretched his body, pulled his eldest son over and hugged him to his knees and sat down, and said.

"The concubine also had no clue, so she called Yun Laodao into the palace for inquiry." Qingyang said with a smile.

"Then the cloud chief will come to consult for me." Yang Yuanpu said.

"Yun Lao Dao can only talk nonsense, Your Majesty forgives you." Yun Puzi didn't dare to say anything more, and he didn't dare to stand up, so he continued to kneel on the ground and said.

"You said, 'As long as the court soldiers are strong and strong, everyone is a loyal and good son', I have also been deeply aware of it recently

Sigh, you get up, forgive you for your innocence, there are not many people around me who can speak, you get up and talk to me. Yang Yuanpu said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing Yang Yuanpu's face as usual, Yun Puzi kowtowed, got up from the frozen brick floor, and sat down on the embroidery pier handed over by Chen Ruyi.

"Recently, Shuzhou wrote a letter, saying that the 40,000 elite troops of the Huaixi Forbidden Army should be hoarded in Lujiang, and if you can't make a hasty decision, you can't play it, and you can move some soldiers and horses to Suizhou, and peep at Huozhou from between Tongbai Mountain and Huaiyang Mountain," Yang Yuanpu said, "Yundao Chief, you come to analyze and analyze for me, should the imperial court be allowed to play, and how will the court ministers view this letter in Shuzhou?" ”

With the stabilization of the war situation, the state soldiers who reinforced King Qin from all over the country returned to various places one after another, but the two forbidden armies of the Zuo Longque Army and the Zuo Wuwei Army led by Li Zhihe in Shuzhou still had 40,000 elites.

The Shuzhou book mentioned by Yang Yuanpu is naturally Li Zhihe's twist and turn.

In terms of the efficiency of using troops, the Lujiang defense line east of Shuzhou is less than 100 miles long, unless a large offensive is soon organized against Chaozhou and tries to capture the entire territory of Chaozhou again, otherwise, it is just a confrontation of the defense line, and it will not be able to play the role of so many elite soldiers and horses.

With only more than 20,000 elites, the Tangyi soldiers effectively supported the defense line of more than 200 miles east of Chaohu Lake.

Now that the battle situation has stabilized, as a general of the forbidden army with aspirations, Li Zhihe is not willing to behave slightly weaker than Han Qian, right?

From the perspective of the rational allocation of the forbidden army's strength, transferring a part of the Huaixi forbidden army to Suizhou in the northwest corner of Jingxiang, peeking into Gwangju and Huozhou in the north from the gap between Tongbai Mountain and Huaiyang Mountain, opening up a new battlefield from the northwest flank, and containing and attacking the Shouzhou army, can not only relieve the pressure of the Shouzhou army on the southern front, but also effectively suppress and weaken the strength of the Shouzhou army.

From a purely military strategy point of view, Li Zhihe's proposal in the above book could not be more correct.

It's just that how complicated the internal situation of Da Chu is at this time, the common people don't know, how can Yun Puzi not know?

As a part of Jingxiang, Suizhou is located in the northwest hinterland of Jingxiang, and the Zheng family may have regarded it as something that cannot be touched by others, right?

Li Zhihe's letter, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, and Zheng Hui, who is the commander of Deng Xiang's defense envoy and the right dragon and bird army, are the first to jump out and resolutely oppose it, right?

In addition, Li Zhihe suggested this, and his selfishness was also very heavy, and Yun Puzi believed that Yang Yuanpu should also be able to understand it at this time.

And Li Zhihe's selfishness, or the selfishness of the forces of the Red Mansion behind Li Zhihe's death, is also very simple, in fact, Shuzhou alone is really not enough to become the foundation for them to raise tens of thousands of elites.

At present, the main generals of the Zuowu Guard Army and the Zuo Longque Army are all attracted by Li Zhihe, and it can be said that they are all from the late Red Mansion, but the generals below are from the Zhutun Camp Military Mansion under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

At this time, Shen Yang on the one hand controlled the scale of the private army under the command of the generals, on the other hand, he made efforts to regularize the appointment and selection of the commanders and lieutenants of the military government in the cantonment camps, so that more civilian generals could take on his duties, and at the same time, he also did everything possible to reduce the land rent and taxes borne by the military government and soldiers, so as to ensure the control of the grassroots generals by the Great Chu court.

At this time, the military department arranged for the military government and soldiers to enter the forbidden army in various departments and garrisons in an orderly manner, and Li Zhihe and other generals of the unified army could not obstruct them if they did not want to cause a mutiny.

If Li Zhihe wants to learn from Tangyi, in addition to improving the combat effectiveness of his generals as much as possible, making them more professional, and making it easier to encircle them, it is equivalent to implementing a quasi-conscription system, and they do not directly control a few rich prefectures and counties, where will they raise additional funds to raise troops?
