Although the matter will not be announced in a big way, the news that the secret envoy of Chuzhou negotiated the marriage contract on the condition of the matter, and Han Qian had to return to Xuzhou to mourn because of his father's filial piety, but it quietly spread in Fanchang City first.

Explaining Han Qian's departure from Fanchang and his return to Xuzhou with such news had the least disturbance to the morale of the military.

Han Qian's stay not only involves the military heart of tens of thousands of elite generals of the Zuoguang German Army, but also five thousand elite veterans in the left and right Dragon Bird Army, these old soldiers are the backbone of the Left and Right Dragon Bird Army, and other small relatives are sheltered by Han Qian, all of whom are in Guangde at this time.

Don't talk about the fact that the two sides tear their faces, if they want to minimize the negative impact of the siege plan of Jinling, they can only make a fuss about "filial piety".

This is also the most unquestionable criterion for dealing with the world.

Han Qian had mentioned many times before that he would return to Xuzhou to mourn his deceased father after the war, and now he left early, and there was a good reason, and there seemed to be nothing abrupt.

Although the whole thing will not cause much worry to the middle and lower-level generals, the earth-shattering waves in the hearts of the core characters in Yueyang will not disappear so easily.

Even if the Zuoguang German Army was not the main combat force attacking the Jinling Army, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, it was still necessary to solve the problem of the Zuoguang German Army first; The recruitment of Chuzhou must also be determined first, and the plan to attack Jinling City can only be delayed again.

For Yueyang, who controls the vast majority of Jiangnandong and Jiangnanxi provinces, the delay is not entirely a bad thing.

On the one hand, the early attack on Jiangchi and other places caused relatively large casualties, and it is naturally not a bad thing to have more time to rest and recuperate; The new soldiers who were added also needed time to adapt to the grueling training of the battalion, and it also needed time to build more siege weapons.

On the other hand, Yueyang controls the general situation, and at this time, he can further deepen his control over Jiangdong and Jiangxi Zhuzhou County, and mobilize more materials and personnel.

Time belongs to Yueyang.

Yang Yuanpu rushed to the beginning of the year, and even replaced the new magistrates and county officials in Fanchang, Tongling, Nanling, Jingxian, Lishui, Jintan, Liyang and other counties, and began to pacify and farm.

In the blink of an eye, it is the New Year's Festival, and the city of Fanchang is still marked by the name of the first emperor Tianyou, although there are no people in the streets and alleys, but all kinds of lanterns are still hung.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Yuanpu also specially ordered the city gate to be opened, and Xu Junmin entered the city to watch the lanterns to celebrate the New Year's Day.

And on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fanchang City will resume the solemn atmosphere of soldiers and iron horses, when the sky is dark, the city gate will be closed, and several fast horses gallop from the east.

Galloping to the city gate, Yuan Guowei spread his hand and showed a token, signaling the generals defending the city to let him go, and he led people to surround a knight with his head and face wrapped in a black hood, and galloped straight along the long street to the Tanwang Palace in the center of the city.

Yang Yuanpu, accompanied by Yang Zhitang and Li Pu, stood at the side gate of the palace and waited anxiously.

Waiting for the people brought by Yuan Guowei to get off the horse and uncover their hoods, revealing that haggard and familiar face, Yang Yuanpu greeted him excitedly and whispered: "Yuanpu can be regarded as looking forward to the uncle......

After the left and right guards retreated to the side, Yang En went up to greet Yang Yuanpu, Yang Zhitang, Li Pu and others.

Yang En is a lonely widow, in addition to more than a dozen disabled slaves who have retired from the army and have no place to go to take care of their daily life, the old wife died of illness, and his son also died on the battlefield.

There is nothing to worry about implicating in his house, but this time, with the help of Yuan Guowei, he sneaked out of Jinling City to see Yang Yuanpu in Fanchang, but it was definitely not his family who was involved behind it.

Without complete certainty, he would never dare to expose his deeds.

Yang Yuanpu was also silent, and only took Yang Zhitang and Li Pu to greet Yang En at the side door to conduct a palace secret business.

Through the hall transfer, only Zhang Ping and Jiang Shu were waiting patiently in the secret room.

Yang En first made a brief report to Yang Yuanpu about the situation in Jinling City and the news that the crown prince Yang Yuanwu was seriously ill.

After the Jinling Incident, Yang En resolutely refused to accept the official position given by the crown prince, but he had a very high reputation in the clan, and the Anning Palace did not harm him.

He had no official position and no position, and he cut off contact with Zong Zhengqing Yang Tai and other princes and ministers who served in the Anning Palace, and he was drunk all day long, playing the piano and listening to music, so the Anning Palace did not focus on sending people to monitor him.

However, in fact, from the time Yue Yang sent troops to attack Jiangzhou, Yuan Guowei contacted Yang En, thinking that through Yang En and many other channels and means that could be used, the defenders and the civil and military generals in Jinling City would be disintegrated and divided from within.

In addition to Wen Duqiao, Wen Bo father and son, and cattle farming

Confucianism and other factions are more determined to follow the Anning Palace and the Xu family to go outside the black, and there are more people in Jinling City, and there are quite a few people who still hold real power, and they are riding on the wall and watching the faction.

Even Zong Zhengqing Yang Tai was afraid that the clan would be slaughtered by bloodshed and forced to serve in Anning Palace, but at this time, seeing that the general trend had completely leaned towards Yueyang, there was a chance to choose again in front of him, and he could still go to the dark with Anning Palace?

It's just that the soldiers and horses of Jinling City and the Imperial City are under the control of Anning Palace and the Xu family's descendants, even if the people in the city have different intentions, they don't dare to act rashly for the time being, for fear of falling in a pool of blood at dawn, then they are really dumbfounded.

Therefore, if there is an action in the city, it must be carried out after Yueyang's soldiers and horses officially attack the city.

"What about Shen Yang and Han Qian?" Yang En was closed in Jinling City, and he didn't know that something had happened in Fanchang City, so he didn't see Shen Yang and Han Qian present when he walked to the palace, and he felt strange in his heart, so he asked about it directly after introducing the situation in Jinling City.

Although it has been ten days since the incident, listening to Yang En's question at this time, Yang Yuanpu still felt that the scar on his heart was fiercely lifted, and the corners of his eyes trembled slightly.

"When King Xin sent his secret envoy to Fanchang, he wanted to marry Han Qian and Wang Jixiong's granddaughter as a condition for supporting His Royal Highness, Han Qian didn't want His Highness to be difficult, and he had returned to Xuzhou to keep filial piety - Lord Shen went to Guangde to sit in the town and urge Jiangdong grain and rice to go west." Lip said lightly, as if nothing was a big deal.

Where is Yang En so easy to fool, but just like the vast majority of people are born involuntarily, Yang En wants to bring down the Anning Palace at this time, end the war as soon as possible, avoid the fragmentation of the Great Chu River, and restore the peace of the Jianghuai land, what choice can he have except to support Yang Yuanpu and help Yueyang soldiers and horses take Jinling City at the lowest cost?

Han Qian, Shen Yang and Yang Yuanpu parted ways because of the contradiction, he would not think about it at this time, nor would he delve into it, in short, no matter how stupid he was, he would not believe that things were really as frivolous as Li Pu said.

At this time, he was more concerned about whether the situation on Yueyang's side would be greatly affected after Han Qian and Shen Yang were expelled from the center.

Even if there were some things that he wanted to do his best to remedy, it would have to wait until after the war.

Yang Yuanpu quickly adjusted his mentality, but still asked Li Pu to explain some changes in the periphery of Jinling to Yang En in the past few days.

Han Qian left a book, pointing directly at Shen Yang and Wang Lin suspected of being in Chuzhou, even if the whole thing was not publicized, Yang Yuanpu had no intention of pursuing it, but there were not a few people present who heard about it, and Shen Yang and Wang Lin could only write a letter to resign afterwards.

Yang Yuanpu did not accept Shen Yang and Wang Lin's resignation, and Shen Yang and Wang Lin complained to avoid suspicion.

In order to avoid many negative effects caused by this matter, Yang Zhitang and Zheng Yu finally decided to transfer Wang Lin to serve as the governor of Jiangzhou, the level is not too low, but it will not affect the operation of the entire military and political system in Yueyang, and at the same time it was decided to set up Guangde Mansion in Guangde, Langxi, and Anji counties, and appointed Shen Yang as the governor of Guangde Mansion.

Shen Yang vigorously promoted the children of the Hanmen Shu clan in Yueyang, and also tended to reduce the burden of the common people, advocating strengthening taxation from the family lords, curbing the slave and maid trade, and cracking down on tax evasion.

Zheng Yu, Zhang Chao and others, as representatives of the family's gate valves, also knew very well in their hearts that there was no end to the eggs under the nest, and if they wanted to keep the foundation of Yueyang, they needed to take some means to alleviate the fierce contradictions between the sect lords and the Han clan, so the contradictions between them and Shen Yang when they were in Yueyang were not intense, and they could still coexist peacefully with each other.

However, this does not mean that after the capture of Jinling, the two sides will not be sharply opposed.

After capturing Jinling, will Shen Yang sit back and watch the Zheng clan expand its power in the Jingxiang region, and will he sit back and watch the Zhang clan annex land and raise disciples in Langyue and other states? Will Shen Yang sit and watch the court be full of door lords?

Therefore, Shen Yang can leave the center now, which is still a welcome sight for many people.

At this time, the remaining problems after Han Qian's return to Xuzhou were urgently resolved by everyone as soon as possible.

After thinking about it, Shen Yang is actually a much more suitable candidate than Han Daochang.

Of the more than 300,000 women and children stranded in Guangde, nearly 50,000 of them are from small families in Taowu.

Shen Yang can also be said to be the best person who can solve the problem of the placement of so many women and children in Guangde as quickly as possible after Han Qian leaves.

In addition to Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, Zhao Wuji, Guo Ke and a few other people, who led the guard cavalry battalion, and Yang Qin's naval army followed Han Qian directly from Fanchang to return to Xuzhou, two days before the New Year's Festival, a large number of Zuoguang German army generals such as Feng Yi, Lin Haizheng, Gao Shao, Lin Zongjing, Zhou Chu, Feng Xuan, Ji Xiyao, Chen Jitang and officials of the three counties handed over

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Lai's resignation was officially approved, and he and other generals and families who were willing to move to Xuzhou formed a team of more than 6,000 people, borrowing roads from Shezhou and Raozhou, and stepping into the road to Xuzhou.

In addition to nearly 1,000 people who were military attachés, craftsmen, and officials transferred by Han Qian from Xuzhou, the other more than 5,000 people were slaves and maids of the Chishan Army and their families, and there were only 1,300 or 400 elites, and the others were all accompanying families, all of them were old and weak, women and children.

In the world, if it were not a last resort, if there was still hope of proper resettlement in the local area, the vast majority of people were unwilling to leave their hometowns, and those who really had the courage to travel thousands of miles to settle down in a strange foreign land that was said to be plague-ridden were very few.

These people's hearts are towards Xuzhou, Yueyang does not dare to stay, and for the time being, he does not dare to use thunder means to cleanse them, and sending them to Xuzhou may be the best choice. At the same time, these people do not seem to be large-scale, and even if they all move into Xuzhou, they will pose a serious threat to the surrounding states and counties.

In fact, Han Qian forbade Lin Haizheng and Gao Shao, and they secretly encouraged more people to go to Xuzhou.

In addition to the limited population that Xuzhou can accommodate at this time, two or three thousand miles of trekking through mountains and rivers, and the strong men have to lose weight and lose two circles of meat after a trip; Many frail elderly and children may not be able to persevere to the end.

Even if Yueyang and the others captured Jinling, they would most likely further tighten restrictions on Xuzhou and would no longer tolerate a large-scale inflow of population into Xuzhou, but Han Qian did not want to see a large number of old people and children fall on the way to Xuzhou.

Of course, there is a land route from Langxi to Qianyang, Xuzhou, and before the formation of a transport team, almost two or three thousand people also walked back and forth on this road, as long as they do not completely tear their faces with Jinling, and do not completely cut off the communication on business travel, Han Qian believes that in the future, through the waterway trade route, Guangde and Xuzhou will continue to exchange people and materials.

Of course, there were also a number of generals and military attaches selected from slaves and slaves and runaways from the Dragon Bird Army who chose to stay.

In particular, there are a group of military attaches who have been promoted after fleeing from the left and right dragon and bird armies, and they resolutely fled back to Jinling because their parents' family stayed in Jinling when they were young, unlike Lin Haizheng and Gao Shao, who had a reason to return to Xuzhou because they settled down in Xuzhou.

It can't be said that they are short-sighted, everyone hopes that after the war subsides, Jianghuai can return to peace, at this time, in addition to their gratitude and respect for Han Qian, they have the opportunity but are also more eager to live and work in peace and contentment, and no longer toss.

In addition, the former Xuzhou worker Cao joined the army Zheng Tong, and nearly 100 craftsmen and craftsmen whose families mainly stayed in Jinling, chose to stay and not return to Xuzhou.

Han Qian also agreed, even if some of them had children in Xuzhou and wanted to leave Xuzhou, he would not restrain them.

In addition to Han Qian's prior promise, the reclamation of the three counties of Guangde and the mining of coal and iron also need to leave some manpower to continue.

Although Han Qian took some people away, this can be regarded as a complete handover of the Zuo Guang German army, and Yang Zhitang also decided to transfer the remaining more than 7,000 soldiers to the periphery of Jinling City as reserve soldiers.

That is to say, when there are losses in the siege of the left and right dragon and bird army, the Wuya army, the right Guang German army and the Huzhou soldiers, the soldiers of the left and wide German army will be dismantled and supplemented, so that there is no need to waste this batch of high-quality soldiers trained by Han Qian's hands, and Han Qian's influence on the left and wide German army can be dissipated invisibly......

At present, the Huanghua of Huzhou Thorn Shi has also recovered Qiuhu Mountain, and the Huzhou soldiers have stationed the forward battalion in Longhuabu, which also means that the Taowu soldiers can gradually move back to the old site for resettlement.

As for Guangde, Langxi, Anji, and a large number of slaves and maids, they are favored by Han Qian, but this is not very worrying.

In the eyes of the family gatekeepers, these untouchables from low-level slaves and maids, who don't know a single word, are not educated, are ignorant, and vulgar, and they are happy to settle down with a small piece of land, where do they know what faithfulness and benevolence are, maybe it won't take three or five years for them to forget Han Qian.

Besides, they will use a group of literate township elders from the aborigines of the three counties, mainly from the small and medium-sized landlords who have been suppressed by Han Qian in the past period of time, and can even select a group of officials from the children of the township who have been expelled from the three counties to fill in the Guangde Mansion to educate and discipline these people, and there will be no hidden dangers.

This is the plan of Yang Zhitang, Zheng Yu, Li Pu and others, Yang En listened to the silence for a while, and said to Yang Yuanpu: "It is still necessary to settle these people as much as possible, so that they can feel the immensity of the emperor, so that there will be no problems." ”

"I know all of this." Yang Yuanpu said a little impatiently, and asked in more detail about the thoughts of the generals in the city......
