Chapter 317: Appeasement
On April 20, Shi Jin and Jia Yan brothers led 20,000 horses, Hou Xiaoming and Shi San took 10,000 horses, and Qiu Wei took 10,000 "Green Snake Army" and drove to Taiping Mansion.
Just the day before, the Taiping Mansion sent good news that Monk Feng had taken Xuanzhou.
As early as February, the Feng Monk Department was opened at the same time as the Shui Jin Department and the Deng Jian Department.
The reason why it has not moved is just the strategic arrangement of the Chuzhou Army.
At that time, Deng Jian's side was to take Changzhou, Suzhou and Songjiang before the Shanxi soldiers of the imperial court quelled the rebellion and the Taizhou white shirts decided the victory.
When the water enters the other side, there is some robbery while the fire is burning.
Taking advantage of the confrontation between Qi Chun's white shirts and the rebels, he took Shuzhou and Shouzhou, which were close to Qi Chun.
Monk Feng's Taiping Mansion is more about preparing for war and making two-handed preparations.
If Qi Chun's white shirt is defeated, Monk Feng's soldiers and horses will go north and join forces with the Shui Jin Department to take Qi Chun.
If the officers and soldiers were defeated, Monk Feng would "march west" and take several state capitals under the government.
The result was that the Qi Chunjun was victorious, and the focus was shifted to Wuchang Mansion.
The Chuzhou army can't go to the Qichun army's nest at this time, and now there are more territories that need to be expanded, so they won't take the initiative to confront the victorious Qichun army.
On the side of the Taiping Mansion, they began to attack Xuanzhou under the rule of officers and soldiers.
In less than half a month, the entire territory of Xuanzhou was laid.
In addition to asking people to report the victory, Monk Feng also asked people to send a few cars of earthen instruments, some of which were for the Taiwei Mansion, and the rest were for the Ma Mansion and the Du Mansion.
At the end of April, there were two great events in Jinling City, and the owner of the horse village remarried and married Du Laoba.
Du Laoba is a first marriage, and he is also the owner of the horse village to help Zhang Luo.
Originally, the owner of the horse village wanted to set the day when the brothers got married to one day, but Du Laoba refused to say "the old and the young are orderly", and finally the two staggered for a few days.
On April 25, the owner of the horse village remarried the second lady of the Shi family.
On April 28, Du Laoba married Guo's daughter.
After the Dragon Boat Festival, Huo Wu selected the Song daughter for Huo Shun to go to the Song family.
Song Lin's daughter has already been married, and her granddaughters are young, so this time she chose one of his nieces.
Among the civilian officials of the Chuzhou Army, Song Lin's status is second only to Mr. Lin, and he is also very popular with Huo Wu.
Before, he asked him to sort out Jinling, and then went to sort out Yangzhou.
As Song Lin's status rose, the Song clan also caused a lot of trouble.
To say that Song Lin is also unlucky.
Among the fathers of the Chuzhou army, most of the marshals are single and single-family households, such as the owner of the horse village, Du Laoba, and Shui Jin.
Deng Jian has in-laws, is a member of the Yue family, and has always been estranged, and he can't wait to die of old age.
Monk Feng is both his father and mother, and he is a big surname in Yangzhou, with lush branches, but he was raised in the temple when he was a child, and he was abandoned by the family, where is there any affection?
Now that the Feng family has been split, the mother clan is also attached to Monk Feng, where do you dare to catch demons?
There is only Song Lin left who is next first-class.
The Song family is one of the top gentry in Chuzhou, with many children of relatives, and the good and the bad are uneven.
Song Lin's family here, his ancestors and grandchildren have been in the Chuzhou Army for several generations, and they dare not slack off.
The clansmen who were born eight poles far away, under the banner of the Song family, flaunted their power in Huainan, and did not do the evil deeds of bullying men and women and taking people's land and property, and they were bumping into the hands of the Supervision Department.
The final level of trouble, the killing of the killing, is ruthless to clean up.
Song Qianzhi has always been a child soldier, and he is still young, so he can't care about the younger generations of his clan.
Song Lin and Song Er were unlucky, and the credit they had accumulated before was almost consumed.
Now there are more than a dozen state capitals in the Chuzhou army, and there are many gentry who have taken refuge.
The status of the Song family is transcendent, and there are many families who are looking forward to pulling his family down, and there are many people behind the scenes, which makes the two of them infamous for a while, and they are very embarrassed.
Huo Wu was originally from the countryside, and he was most unaccustomed to seeing the powerful and bullying people.
When he was in the Song family in Chuzhou, Huo Wu did not save face for Song Lin and his son, but he did not mean to let people replace him.
This time, Huo Shun continued, and what Huo Wu was thinking about was the Song family, so he privately told Song Lin to ask him to find a suitable candidate among the clan girls.
Regarding the marriage, Huo Wu did not object.
However, he did not approve of the kind of marriage that could not be beaten by eight poles, for example, every time the Taizhou Army and the Taizhou Army envoys came, they had the intention of marriage.
But everyone knows that everyone is in love, and they will turn their faces when they can't say it.
At this time, what is a marriage that is not a pit person?
As for the marriage within the Chuzhou army, it's easy to say.
Now the Chuzhou army is Qi Qin, and it can also be said that it has its own forces.
The selection of the Song family as Huo Shun's in-law is to take care of the Huo family's house, and it is also another prevention.
Since Tang Guang's death, Huo Wu has been vigilant in his heart.
When Marshal Liu died of illness and the two sons died one after another, Huo Wu was even more frightened.
He is forty-five years old, not much younger than Marshal Liu.
Huo Bao looks at no matter how smart and sensible he is, age is a weakness.
Several marshals checked and balanced each other, but the Huo family's side also had to guard against it.
Needless to say, Huo Hu and Huo Bao are all juniors.
Huo Shun is here, but he is a cousin and a prime of life.
Last year, when Huo Wu arranged for him to set up a monitoring team, he didn't have any selfish intentions, but this year he thought about it a lot.
Huo Shun can't meddle in the military power, nor can he marry Jiangmen, in case he will grow big in the future and have unnecessary ambitions.
This is the marriage of Huo Song.
The grandfather and grandson of the Song family are very grateful.
They have a long-term view, and they have begun to gain confidence in the Chuzhou army.
If the politics of the court were clear, it would be impossible to delay this year, but now this posture is a faint move.
Daning Dynasty, almost.
Next, it is the time for the forces to compete.
Today, the famous White Shirts have a total of five forces, but they are different in size.
The Chuzhou Army developed earlier and occupied the most prosperous and densely populated Jiangnan.
Now that the Chuzhou Army and the Qichun Army stand side by side, the other Taizhou white shirts, Taizhou white shirts, and Bozhou white shirts are inferior in the end.
The war is fought with people, money, and food, and the Chuzhou army is now rich.
"I didn't expect that the Chuzhou military forces would develop so rapidly!"
Song Lin whispered to his grandson in private: "Follow Xiao Bao Ye well, the fifth master is a person who values old love, and he will not lose our Song family." ”
No matter how others attack, the qualifications or status of the Song family are still incomparable to those of later generations.
In the past year, Song Lin followed the Chuzhou army to several state capitals, and successively sorted out the two big cities of Jinling and Yangzhou, which was very painstaking and laborious.
Although Song Lin is in the age of the sixtieth year, he was pampered before, and he looks younger than the same year; Now that he has been working hard for almost a year, his hair is half gray.
It's just that the spirit is superb.
Before, he was dissatisfied with the eldest grandson's first "abandonment of literature and martial arts", and then "abandonment of martial arts and literature", but now he has seen it.
"That's just right, there's no need to compare our shortcomings to the strengths of others, isn't that a fool?"
Song Lin explained to his grandson: "Now do a good job of your own stall, others are irreplaceable......
There is no shortage of fierce generals in the Chuzhou army, and what is lacking is really the talent of governance.
It's not that there is no talent, but that there is a lack of talent that the Huo family and his son trust wholeheartedly.
Now more than a dozen state capitals, whether they are the captains guarding the town or the ruling ones, are all old men in the Chuzhou army.
When the Chuzhou army entered Jinling, it seemed that a large number of talents had been recruited, and many gentry were like-minded, but only Shi Jin and the Jia brothers in Jinling, President Li of the new head of the Chamber of Commerce in Yangzhou, and Jin Cuo, the general of Yangzhou, were really used.
Everyone else has their own arrangements, but they just have to wait if they want to come out.
Before the Song clan was punished, Song Lin felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he was more happy.
Detect problems early and solve them early.
It is better to sin than to wait until later.
Otherwise, no matter how hard their ancestors and grandchildren work for three generations, they will not be able to withstand the defeat of their clansmen.
Wait until the opening of the country in the future......
Every time Song Lin thought about it, he felt like he was thirty years younger......
*
In a blink of an eye, it was the Dragon Boat Festival.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the Taiwei Mansion set up a family banquet to invite the Huo family to celebrate the festival in the Taiwei Mansion.
Wait until the fifth day of the first lunar month, it is the banquet of the Taiwei Mansion, and the banquet will invite the high-level of the Chuzhou army in Jinling.
