"Shen Yang served as the prefect of Guangde, and he acted cautiously, in addition to Qin Wen as the governor of the Changshi Mansion and Zheng Tong as the Gongcao, the officials, rites, soldiers, criminals, household Zhu Cao, as well as the prison secretary, post passenger, fuxue, medical officer and Zhou Sima and other vacancies, as well as more than 100 officials who filled Zhu Cao, large and small, also followed the will of the people in Yueyang, either from the old officials of the three counties, or from the children of the gate lords in the two states of Xuanhu - at present, it is not a big problem in Guangde, and the resettlement and other things can be continued, but if you do this, sooner or later there will be problems......"

On the way, Feng Yi and them had a fast horse to deliver the news, and their grasp of the situation in Jinling was more timely and meticulous than Han Qian, who returned to Xuzhou.

The latest post was passed to Feng Yi, and it has been a month since the three counties of Guangde were officially established, and the situation there seems to be stable, but the main thing is that everything is preparing for the general attack on Jinling City, and the careful thinking in all aspects is hidden, even if there are some contradictions, it will not intensify for the time being.

However, Feng Yi, who knows more about the future of Guangde Mansion, is not optimistic.

Han Qian could only shrug his shoulders at this, the clan lords and the Han family had been opposed for so many years, and the previous dynasty began to carry out the imperial examination, but the actual influence was extremely limited, and in the middle and later periods, it was equivalent to being invalid due to the division of the feudal town, not to mention that the clan wanted to accept slaves and maids whose social status was more unbearable than that of commoners and more than that of cattle?

If nothing changes, history moves forward according to the established course, and in the next forty or fifty years, the world's heroes will be at war endlessly, and the family lords will kill each other in the continuous wars and consume each other, and the power will be greatly damaged and weakened, and a new dynasty that does not rely on the family gate lords, but takes soldiers from among the common people to govern the world, can come.

However, this dynasty is also born with weak genes, and has never gotten rid of the shadow and threat of the northern Hu tribe.

In the established historical process, the family gate valve is no longer an obstacle to the complete abolition of the old system of slaves and maids, which is actually the result of the continuous blows and weakening of forty or fifty years of war.

How could this gap be bridged by his efforts in a full year?

And he was able to do this in Xuzhou, which is also the result of years of hard work, and the generals in Xuzhou are mainly from the bottom of the society.

Even so, Xuzhou is still strongly vigilant by surrounding forces.

Regarding the hidden dangers in Guangde Mansion, Han Qian is also beyond the reach of the whip, and with his ability, he can only take one step at a time, and he expects Shen Yang to preside over Guangde Mansion to cover the lid for a longer time.

At present, Han Qian is still more concerned about the progress of Yueyang's soldiers and horses on Jinling's offensive.

Although the general trend has been achieved, even if Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, Zheng Chang, Zhang Chao and his uncle Han Daoming and others are not first-class strategists and capable officials, they are also above the standard in the world, as long as they are not stupid enough to make fatal mistakes, there should be no problem in capturing Jinling.

It's one thing to predict this, and Han Qian also wants to grasp more details of the changes.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, more than 80,000 elite soldiers of the Dragon Bird Army, the Youguang German Army, and the Huzhou soldiers officially entered Jinling City, established camps in front of the city, laid out weapons and horses, and launched an offensive against Jinling City.

Jinling City is on the basis of the original Shengzhou capital city, and the outer city wall and the imperial city and the palace city are added, and there are four city walls of different heights and thicknesses in total.

The palace city was mainly rebuilt by the original Shengzhou Jiedu envoy, and the construction of the outer city wall and the imperial city was also presided over by Yang En, the Marquis of Liyang.

The outer city wall stands according to the Yangtze River, and is built according to the streams, lakes, hills and mountains on the south bank of the river, the actual height and thickness are not uniform, the total length is more than 50 li, and the height ranges from two zhang to two zhang and three feet.

In the early years of Tianyou, the conditions were difficult, there was not so much money and food, and the city wall was only built by rammed earth, and then a large number of city bricks were fired one after another for more than ten years, and the city wall was covered with earth walls.

The so-called cladding is not just a layer of bricks.

The outer wall is next to the earthen wall, which is first covered with small bricks to a thickness of three feet, and then covered with bricks of the city that is two feet thick.

The inner wall of the city wall is made of large city bricks and white lime, and is thicker than three feet.

The foundation of the lowest part of the original rammed earth wall was a two- or three-layer foundation stone; Some sections encounter quicksand layers, the soil is soft, and many layers of large logs are buried under the cornerstone, which are arranged horizontally and vertically, and are nailed with large nails between the horizontal wood and the longitudinal wood, so that it is a solid whole.

There are seven gates in the outer city of Jinling, and eight gates in the inner city, except for the Shuiguan gate, all of which are built with strong urn city enemy towers.

The development of traditional city building techniques into the hands of Yang En can be said to have reached a peak, which is also reflected in many details of the construction of Jinling City.

Many settings such as enemy platforms, reef towers, horse roads, and boarding roads, as well as the choice of the periphery of Jinling by the trend of the city wall, reflect Yang En's personal in-depth attainments in defensive warfare.

Xu Mingzhen did not cross the river into Jinling City, Xu Anlan, Zhao Mingting and other generals may still be somewhat unknown, but Wen Duqiao and Niu Gengru are all veterans who assisted Emperor Tianyou in his rise in Jianghuai, and Wen Bo's performance in Shouchizhou was also extremely remarkable.

If Anning Palace wanted to defend Jinling City, it would not be easy for Yue Yang to rely purely on soldiers and horses to attack.

"The lord returned to Xuzhou ahead of schedule, exposing the rift between the lord and the three princes, and Shen Yang was squeezed out of the core again, will the Anning Palace abandon Jinling and retreat to the north bank?" Feng Yi thought of a possibility and asked Han Qian.

"Maybe that's a possibility, who knows?" Han Qian spread his hands and stood up with a relaxed attitude that had nothing to do with himself.

If there weren't so many contradictions among the people in Yueyang, it would be difficult for Anning Palace to retreat north for long.

After all, Yueyang's strength is too strong after integrating the prefectures and counties of Jiangnan East Province and Jiangnan West Province, and Anning Palace has withdrawn to defend Shouzhou, there is no danger to defend, facing enemies on all sides, with a population of less than one million, but it has to raise tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, how long can it support without collapsing?

In this case, how many lonely ministers would choose to go to the dark with the Anning Palace?

Now, whether the Anning Palace will hold for a while and find that the situation is too difficult, take the initiative to withdraw to the north bank of the river and wait for the opportunity to change, it is really difficult to say.

The key is to see how Anning Palace and the Xu family choose.

However, with Empress Xu's obedient temperament, even if he wants to withdraw, it is definitely not at this time.

Whether Yang Yuanpu can divide and recruit the generals of the Lou Chuan Army in a timely manner, whether he can effectively join forces with the Chuzhou Army to block the river crossing channel for the north retreat of the Anning Palace in time, and whether the physical condition of the crown prince Yang Yuanwu will die of illness in the near future are all important factors that determine the changes in the situation in Jinling.

With so many factors that are difficult to determine, Han Qian has already jumped out of the situation at this time, and it is still too early to go and judge the final destination of the Anning Palace.

Even at this point, nearly 400,000 civilians were still besieged in Jinling City, enduring the suffering of famine, and in the end, it was inevitable that thousands of people would starve to death, but this was beyond Han Qian's ability.

He tried hard, and he also succeeded in preventing millions of civilians from being besieged in Jinling City, and in the end, nine times out of ten they became starvation, and the food shortage in Jinling City was more or less alleviated to a certain extent, and he was already worthy of his conscience.

As for the Zuo Guang German Army and its recruits recruited from various states and counties, they will be transferred to Jinling as reserve soldiers, and they will be dismantled and consumed to replenish the elite combat power, although Han Qian is powerless to change, he also feels that it is a pity.

Obviously, the Wolf Gun will also be excluded from the official standard weaponry.

The Mandarin Duck Formation is more suitable for controlling short-bladed light soldiers and relatively loose and fragmented battlefield space.

The city walls, the narrow alleys in the city, and even the narrow decks in water battles were not conducive to the use of the special blade of the wolf.

The mandarin duck array more or less looks a little out of place.

Of course, Yang Yuanpu and others decided to dismantle the Zuoguang German army in this way only because they wanted to eliminate the influence, and they did not think of absorbing the advantages from the mandarin duck array and making certain adjustments, so that it was more suitable for street battles and water battles, which was a pity.

Since the fate of the Zuoguang German Army being dismantled and dismantled has been doomed, the tactical advantages of the Mandarin Duck Formation can be inherited and carried forward by the Xuzhou Barracks.

The rugged and mountainous terrain of Xuzhou and its surroundings, as well as the strategy of raising elite soldiers, are destined to adopt a smaller, short-length and more balanced tactical formation in order to ensure superiority.

Without mentioning the matter of Jinling, Han Qian talked with Feng Yi, Tian Cheng, Gao Shao, Xi Xunqiao, Lin Haizheng, Xi Chang, Feng Xuan and others about his follow-up plan and new post adjustment.

Quyang County was newly placed, and Zhao Wuji was appointed as the county commander.

Lin Haizheng went to Zhijiang, which is adjacent to Tian's family in Yezhou, and served as the county commander.

Tian Cheng served as the commander of Qianyang County, Gao Bao was transferred to Langxi County Commander, while Zhou Chu replaced Xixunqiao as the commander of Longya County, and Zhao Qi replaced Gao Bao as the Chinese county commander.

Based on Jiming Village, Chenzhong County was newly established, and Feng Yu served as the commander of Chenzhong County.

At the same time, the governor of Xuzhou moved from Qianyang to Chenzhong County, and Feng Yu concurrently led the governor's history; Xi Xunqiao served as Hu Cao to join the army; Gao Shao served as the state Sima and led the soldiers Cao to join the army; Xi Chang served as a criminal cao to join the army and concurrently led the prison department; Ji Xiyao served as Gongcao to join the army; Feng Yi served as Licao to join the army and lead the post and guests.

In addition, there was a general affairs Cao, Du Yijun served as the chief of the Qian Bureau as the military officer and consul, and Chen Jitang served as the chief of the Industrial Construction Bureau.

Du Jiuniang served as a medical officer.

Before there was a suitable candidate, Han Qian personally served as a school officer and implemented school education in seven counties of Xuzhou.

Tian Cheng, Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji, Gao Shao, Zhou Chu, Zhao Qi and other major generals in the army served as county commanders and traditional civil servants such as Zhu Cao Shenjun.

The more important ones are Tian Cheng, Lin Haizheng, Zhao Wuji, Gao Shao, Zhou Chu, and even Zhao Qi, they have no problem in commanding and commanding operations with an army of two or three thousand, and the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou will not be expanded on a large scale in a short period of time, and there is no such condition, and they can only be arranged to preside over a county or preside over one aspect of the work within the prefecture government, so that they can have room for further improvement.

In terms of the adjustment of the military system, Han Qian mainly separated the positions of the state Sima and Bing Cao to join the army and the soldiers and horses, Gao Shao served as the state Sima and the leader of the soldiers Cao to join the army, and there was another capital supervision department under the soldiers, mainly responsible for the management of barracks repair, recruitment, township soldiers and military registration, military salaries and military discipline, etc., which was equivalent to the general logistics and the general army judge; Han Qian also led the soldiers and horses, and Yang Qin and Feng Xuan served as the deputy envoys of the soldiers and horses, and were mainly responsible for the actual command of the soldiers and horses.

Yang Qin served as the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses and led the Xuzhou naval army, and temporarily organized two battalions of naval troops, with Lin Jingzong and Feng Zhang as the battalion commanders, the first battalion of the naval army continued to garrison Qianyang, and the first battalion of the naval battalion was stationed in Chenzhong.

Feng Xuan, the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses and the Marquis of Xuzhou Horse Infantry Army, temporarily organized a battalion of cavalry, with Kong Xirong as the commander, and the cavalry battalion also took care of the guard work; The fifth battalion was formed, with Xiao Dahu, Dou Rong, Wei Xu, Xi Fa'er, Guo Ke and others as the command.

Because the surrounding areas of Xuzhou are either directly under the prefectures and counties of Dachu, or the counties of the prefectures attached to the Great Chu, as long as Xuzhou is attached to the Great Chu within a day, there is no openly usable excuse to invade the surrounding prefectures and counties, not to mention that the power of the surrounding prefectures and counties is not as weak as imagined, so in a short period of time, in addition to the further cultivation of the counties, it is mainly concentrated in the development and construction of the two new counties of Quyang and Chenzhong.

Han Qian moved the state capital to Chenzhong, and the resources in all aspects will also be naturally inclined to Chenzhong County, and a series of buildings such as the state government, the Liucao Academy, the college, the state prison, the medical hospital, the naval army and the Mabu army garrison will be immediately built, and the five or six thousand people who moved west this time will mainly be resettled in Chenzhong County.

In addition to the development and construction of valleys and river valleys in the upper reaches of the canal, it is also necessary to naturalize the hundreds of villages on both sides of the canal.

The deep cultivation of the counties is that Han Qian officially set up townships ranging from ten to fifteen under each county, which is mainly due to the fact that Han Qian has a large number of grassroots backbones, on the one hand, from the long-term training of the children of the family soldiers and the children of the Zuo Division, and on the other hand, from the promotion of the grassroots military attaches and elite veterans, which can be arranged and must be arranged.

At the same time, Han Qian can ensure that his tentacles can reach every mountain and every stream in Xuzhou......

Of course, the establishment of the three-level institutions of townships, counties, and prefectures, the maintenance of more than 700 officials, and the fact that after the abolition of forced labor, all public construction affairs had to be funded and fundraised, and the expenses for building roads and cultivating new fields, the daily expenses of the state government are expected to be 200,000 yuan higher each year, which is already a level that is difficult for the wealthy states in the world to bear.

What's more, after the abolition of conscription, the state battalion maintained a recruitment of 3,000 soldiers, the construction of barracks, the repair of armor and warships, and the expenditure of military salaries, plus the annual payment of resettlement salaries for retired veterans on active duty according to 2 to 50 percent of the current duty, and no matter how frugal it is, there will be at least more than 100,000 yuan a year.

In order to save money, the establishment of each battalion of the readjusted navy, cavalry battalion, and infantry battalion was controlled at less than 400 people, and the total number was controlled at less than 3,000 people, which was much smaller than the 500 personnel of the first battalion of the horse infantry army in the world.

Grass-roots military attaches and officials are mainly assigned a certain amount of grain fields, but the amount is extremely limited, and even less than the per capita cultivated land in Xuzhou, mainly to ensure that their dependents have small fields to cultivate, and in addition to salaries, their families can also have a basic income.

The middle and high-level generals rewarded the share capital of the Industrial Construction Bureau and the Official Money Bureau, restrained their impulse to annex the land, and used the dividends of the equity capital to ensure that they had a considerable standard of living, and were able to hire a small number of servants or personal attendants to share the heavy labor.

Han Qian also personally controls more than half of the share capital of the Industrial Construction Bureau and the Official Money Bureau, but Han Qian's inner house only employs more than a dozen people to work, and the guards are borne by the cavalry battalion, and the extra surplus dividends are mainly used to subsidize the construction and operation of schools and medical hospitals.
