Chapter 521: Awakening
At the beginning, it was Yao Xishui who came up with a plan, and Yun Puzi instigated the lord of Qingyang County to offer advice to Yang Yuanpu, thinking of using the marriage contract with Wang Jun to prevent Han Qian from returning to Xuzhou.
Afterwards, Han Qian openly used "mourning and not getting married" as an excuse to say goodbye from Fanchang, which was also an unexpected and unexpected change for Yao Xishui at that time.
If it weren't for the fact that this ploy came from her, and she didn't feel that she was influenced by others, she would have suspected that there was something wrong with Yun Puzi.
The result of the whole thing was that Han Qian successfully returned to Xuzhou before recovering Jinling, and Yang Yuanpu not only failed to cure him of the crime of leaving his post without saying goodbye and leaving his post without permission, but also showed his merit and filial piety.
After recovering Jinling and Yang Yuanpu ascending the throne, Han Qian was rewarded for his meritorious service, and Han Qian was awarded the title of Marquis of Qianyang, and the merit was above Li Pu, who was crowned the prince of the county, and Li Zhihe, who was the marquis.
Wang Jun also returned to Yangzhou ahead of schedule before recovering Jinling City.
Wang Jun and Han Qian, once dissolved the marriage contract, once was rejected the marriage contract, and after Wang Jun was a famous family, Han Qian was even more famous all over the world, and this matter was naturally known to the world.
In other words, ordinary women may not be able to withstand such a storm.
Of course, for the second twist and turn of Wang Jun and Han Qian's marriage, some people say that Han Qian's funeral is a matter of keeping filial piety and not discussing marriage, which cannot be regarded as a real refusal to marry, and it can even be said that after three years of mourning, as long as both parties are still interested, they can still continue to discuss marriage.
Yao Xishui was originally dismissive of this statement, but listening to Feng Yi's words today, he couldn't help but think about it, and thought to himself, could it be that Han Qian treated Wang Jun with affection, and also had the intention of waiting for the expiration of the mourning period and renewing the marriage contract?
Yao Xishui couldn't help but recall the situation when Wang Jun was under house arrest by Han Qian after he was captured in Maoshan, Wang Jun was like a female official by Han Qian's side at that time, where did he look like he was imprisoned as a prisoner of war?
Thinking about it further, when Han Qian went to Fanchang to see Yang Yuanpu, he had already made up his mind to resign from the position of Guangde Army's envoy, even if he made an initiative at that time and directly put Wang Jun back, no one would accuse him of fornicating with Huaichu, but he took Wang Jun to Fanchang and handed it over to Yang Yuanpu for disposal......
At this moment, Yao Xishui's mind seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning.
"What's wrong?" Chun Thirteen Niang saw Yao Xishui's solemn expression of contemplation for a while, and suddenly her face changed again, and she didn't know what she thought of to have such a reaction.
"When Han Qian brought Wang Jun into Fanchang City, did you think that someone would mention his marriage contract with Wang Jun, did he take this as his way out of Fanchang City before entering Fanchang City?" Yao Xishui didn't hide everything from Chun Thirteen Niang, she only figured out the link at this moment, but she asked Chun Thirteen Niang in disbelief.
"Maybe that's it." Chun Thirteen Niang's entanglement in this matter is not as deep as Yao Xishui, but more aware of the bystanders, and she has long guessed that there is such a possibility, but she is afraid of bruising Yao Xishui, so she didn't mention it.
"Feng Yi, on behalf of Han Qian, brought gifts to Yangzhou to congratulate Wang Jun's birthday, and the Xuzhou merchant ship officially sailed into Yangzhou again, and Xuzhou and Huaidong are officially colluded together, right?" Yao Xishui was somewhat depressed and asked the thirteen mothers of spring.
Chun Thirteen Niang didn't know whether what Feng Yi said was false or true, but Feng Yi, accompanied by Yangzhou officials, boarded the Xuzhou merchant ship in a small boat, and the collusion between Xuzhou and Huaidong was self-evident.
This may be because the forbidden army is about to recover Chaozhou, and Xuzhou and Huaidong should change in order to jointly resist the imminent pressure of cutting feuds and preserve their current power and status?
Of course, Xuzhou and Huaidong are both feudal towns of Great Chu, and the two towns trade and trade, collect their own taxes in their borders, and even send messengers to each other, even Emperor Yanyou cannot prohibit them without authorization.
Called Feng Yi's stirring, Yao Xishui and Chun Thirteen Niang were somewhat interested, and also noticed that the two eyeliners on the nearby boats they arranged should have been exposed, even if they were ordered to withdraw with the Weaving Bureau's procurement ship, so as not to suffer poison.

…………
When the manpower of Cishou Palace was withdrawn, Lin Zongjing and Feng Yi were still extremely cautious, and after handing over the officials sent by Wang Wenqian, they dragged it out until the night, and only then did they pick up the more than 600 old headquarters of the Zuoguang German Army, as well as women and children, who had been transferred to the nearby sand island in advance, on the ship in batches.
Han Donghu and Su Lie also rushed to the nearby Sand Island in advance to stand by, and this time they also rushed to Baihogang together.
After that, two merchant ships took advantage of the morning light and turned into the ditch from the east side of Guazhou Port.
Hangou, also known as Shanyangdu, is an artificial waterway originally built in the Spring and Autumn Period, communicating the Jianghuai River and Shaobo Lake between the Jianghuai River, and then in the Sui Dynasty during the great cause of the Sui Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people in Huainan were recruited to carry out larger-scale renovation and expansion, forming today's scale.
The southern section of Hangou, from Shao Bozhu Bay to Guazhou Port in Jiangdu County, is more than 90 miles long, all of which are flat water that does not flow, and there are large weirs and dams built successively since the Spring and Autumn Period on both sides to separate and control water, and even the earliest ship lock in the world is built.
Then the end of the previous dynasty to the opening of the Great Chu so far, nearly a hundred years, the Jianghuai war has continued, the ditch lacks dredging, the siltation is also more serious, and it is necessary to pass the lock, and the merchant ships slow down for three days before arriving at Zhuyu Town.
On this day, Wang Wenqian also boarded the ship in person to inspect the commercial goods.
Of course, he mainly wanted to see with his own eyes the two Xuzhou merchant ships that represented the highest shipbuilding level in the world.
The two merchant ships consisted mainly of 3,000 bags of japonica rice, 1,000 bags of cottonseed, and 1,000 barrels of tung oil, as well as a number of iron castings and medicinal materials used in farming, weaving, and repair, as well as some refined iron ingots and furs.
When the tax is extracted, it is one out of ten, and it is still levied, and there is nothing to say about it.
The highest proportion of lottery buying is 4 out of ten, but it is necessary to pay for the purchase, and it is not necessary to buy 40%.
Japonica rice, tung oil, cottonseeds, medicinal materials and other things, Huaidong is quite sufficient, even if it is a parity to buy, it is not profitable, of course, it can be released directly.
Furs, fine iron ingots, marine iron castings, etc., the important things produced in Xuzhou are much cheaper and more beautiful, and at the same time, they are also directly related to the military potential that Chishan will be able to develop in the future of Baijiegang, and Yangzhou will directly purchase them according to the proportion of forty.
Of course, in order to show his sincerity in cooperation, Wang Wenqian agreed to pay for the requisition with grain, coal, and other things that were lacking in Baihogang.
It is also possible for the old army of Zuoguang to cross the border from Yangzhou, but the armor carried with them also needs to be used as transit commercial goods, and they will be selected and purchased according to the ratio of one levy and four levies, which is to put it bluntly, to restrict Xuzhou from gathering too strong military forces on the west bank of Fanliang Lake.
After unloading people and goods in Zhuyu Bay, Lin Zongjing led two merchant ships to return to Xuzhou first, and he was able to transport two more batches of materials before the year.
And by the time Feng Yi and Han Donghu and Su Lie, who went north in advance this time, arrived at Baihogang with the first batch of supplies directly from Xuzhou, it was already early September.
The scorching heat season has passed, and the weather is high and cool, but such a season is very short, and it will be a month before the cold snap goes south.
In the past month, the camp has not incorporated the surrounding displaced people, except for not wanting to attract too much attention, the old unit of the German army in Zuoguang has a small family, plus a new batch, and the number of people who have moved into Baijiegang has reached nearly 4,000.
At present, Li Zhihe is outside Chaozhou City, mainly adopting the strategy of besieging but not attacking, but the fighting spirit of the defenders is almost close to collapse.
On the other hand, after winter, there is a high probability that the Huai River will freeze every year, which will facilitate the rapid southward movement of the Liang cavalry; The probability that the Liang army would send cavalry south to intervene in Chaozhou also increased significantly.
This also decided that Li Zhihe must annihilate the defenders and recover Chaozhou City before the Huai River freezes.
Therefore, the time window for all forces to focus on Chaozhou City has also become extremely limited.
After Li Zhihe led the forbidden army to recover Chaozhou City, the court's strategy for Jiangbei would change from military recovery to business consolidation, and the control and rule of the eastern region of Chuzhou would also become tighter.
Han Qian wanted to strive to transfer more of the old headquarters of the Zuoguang German Army to cross the river into Shiliang County within this time window, on the one hand, he should not add grass to startle the snake, and on the other hand, he should concentrate more on strengthening the construction of the camp.
Compared with when Yin Pengzhao visited Baihogang, although more than a month has passed, more than 30 sets of large-scale enclosure houses have been built on the inside of the north and south fence walls and at the mouth of the mountain.
Not only did this provide more than 3,000 new houses for the camp, but the enclosure was integrated with the thin fence on the outside, making it stronger and easier for the congregation to defend against the wall.
On the periphery of the camp, there is a relatively decent defense system at this time.
There are no coal resources in Chuzhou, and even if there are, they are mainly located in the western hills, but fortunately, over the years, there are few people, the land is barren, a large number of forests and trees are overgrown, and there are large areas of reeds along the lake, and there is no shortage of firewood.
Within a year or two, enough charcoal can be burned for lime burning, casting, etc.
It really can't be done, so they buy and transport coal from Chuzhou on a large scale, and the transportation cost by water is also extremely limited.
The cooperation with Huaidong in the early stage is also the main strategy of the Chishan Society based on the west bank of Fanliang Lake - Huaidong will requisition and purchase transit materials, and it also happens to solve the problem of money to purchase grain, coal and other materials from Huaidong......
