Negotiations on the change of defense at the front lasted for five days, and at the end of April, the Xian army withdrew from the western part of the Swiss army and let the guards move south, while the guards gave way to the eastern passage and the Xian army began to move north.

At the same time, the handover and change of defense in Shangxue, Chunjiang, Zhongmo and other places was carried out in an orderly manner, and Sun Guo successfully obtained the two counties of Shangxue and Chunjiang, and Weiguo continued to keep the land of the two counties south of Yunjiang, and at the same time began to defend other cities.

However, the Chengdao faction did not forget to hype up public opinion and release the news, attributing the land obtained by Sun Guo to the prestige of the Son of Heaven, and the defeat of the defense of the country was self-inflicted, how shameless.

In May, the news of the Xian army's entry into the seven counties of Changsun reached Boyuan, and the Son of Heaven was furious and sent an envoy to question Xianguo, while Mo Qingzi still thought that Bailiyan was just to get the six pieces of land in Sangnan and Sangbei promised by the lord of Changsun at the beginning.

However, Bailiyan ignored the Son of Heaven's questioning at all, and continued to march to take over the seven counties of Changsun occupied by the guards, and at the same time stepped up the transfer of military supplies and made preparations for a long-term station. By the beginning of June, the Xian army had exhausted the seven counties of Changsun and marched south safely to defend the country, while at the same time, Zhao Xun organized more than 500,000 guards in Dekang and Ganfu counties that had collapsed, and began the final political education work before repatriation.

In late June, Bailiyan's Third Army completed the deployment of defenses on the Western Front and began to organize the restoration of local agricultural production. By mid-July, Zhao Xun's First Army began to disarm and downsize.

In late June, Chen Qu and Chen Dian, father and son, led the navy and merchant ships to the open sea, and at the same time arrived with farm tools and tens of thousands of daily necessities, which were sent to various places free of charge, greatly relieving the pressure on agricultural production.

In mid-July, Bai Liyan appointed Ye Xin as the chief general of the Third Group Army, Xue Sheng as the deputy general, Jiang Jie as the deputy Sima envoy of the army, Zong Botai as the military advisor and Sima envoy, and the governor of the garrison of the Third Group Army.

In 647, Baili Yan wanted to take a ship to investigate the open sea, but failed to make the trip, and on the way back, he inspected the coast of Changsun and its various waterways and estuaries along the way.

On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, Jiang Qian, Chen Yunfeng, and Sikong Nan went out of the city to greet each other, and Jiang Min set up a banquet in the mansion to entertain them.

Jiang Min did not recover after his stroke, but he still had the sequelae of stroke, and he gradually improved after years of recuperation. At the beginning of the year, Luo Songting accidentally developed into a viral flu with a cold and has not been able to recover since then, and is still bedridden for a long time.

The family banquet was set up in Jiang Min's study in the inner house, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Virtuous son-in-law, father-in-law is here to toast you."

"Thank you father-in-law for your kindness, and my son-in-law will do it first."

Baili Yan drank the wine in the cup, and Jiang Min could only drink less as a tribute due to illness. After the wine in the glass was exhausted, Jiang Min continued:

"The virtuous son-in-law has made great contributions this time, and I think King Xian will not treat you badly."

"Father-in-law, rest assured, now that Xianguo rules the country with law, and the king treats me like a mountain, the reward must be indispensable."

"Well, I'm relieved. However, when the father heard that the king intended to canonize Jiang Hong, Jiang Zhen, and Jiang Can, the virtuous son-in-law knew about it. ”

Bai Liyan was surprised when he heard the news, and he hurriedly asked:

"Where did my father-in-law hear the news?"

This is Jiang Qian's answer:

"It has been rumored for a long time, but it has not been confirmed, and it is just a rumor now. My brother-in-law really doesn't know? ”

Bailiyan frowned and shook his head, he said:

"I really don't know, if that's the case, I'm afraid it's a bit tricky."

At this time, Bai Liyan thought that Jiang Min should have two purposes for throwing out this matter, one is that King Xian canonized Jiang Hong, Jiang Zhen, and Jiang Can's three sons, and second, if there is really something, Bai Liyan should be able to take this opportunity to seal the prince.

Since the first battle of Yongxing River, King Xian has acquiesced to the practice of no longer being knighted, even if there is a title, it is also a false title and not granting land, and only two titles of Yongxing Marquis and Yongxing Jun have been awarded for more than 20 years, and they are all false titles.

Now to seal the title of the third viscount, if it is a false seal, it will not make much sense until the political situation is clear. After Jiang Yu ascended the throne, he took this as a precedent and rewarded him aggressively, which will undoubtedly exacerbate political contradictions, and the results of more than 20 years of law reform are bound to be seriously impacted.

Seeing Bai Liyan's face heavy, Jiang Min, Jiang Qian's father and son's eyes intertwined and comprehended, Jiang Qian said:

"Brother-in-law, what do you think about this matter?"

"It's not good, I categorically won't agree with the precedent of the king to open the Feng Zen again, but the Feng Chan parents are reasonable, so it is a little tricky, but it is not unsolvable, as long as the king does not seal the Zen land, what will happen after the knighthood, I have my own plans, and my father-in-law and brother do not need to worry. In addition, I immediately inspected the city defense of Guangxin today, and rushed back to Qiling in the afternoon of the next day, and asked my brother and General Sikong to make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away when I have a family dinner."

After ten years of construction and unprecedented economic prosperity, Guangxin has become the most complete coastal facilities in the North Sea, the largest throughput, the most populous port city, the vast majority of goods exported to the West Sea through this transshipment, truly play the natural advantage of Guangxin from the straight line of Shanling.

Bailiyan's trip stopped at Guangxin, with the intention of collecting coastal geomorphological information, providing data for the storm to build a model, and adjusting the military deployment of Beihai County.

In the afternoon of the same day, Bai Liyan and Sikong Nan inspected the three industries of Guangxin industry, agriculture and commerce, focusing on education and medical epidemic prevention.

Guangxin is the fifth city to popularize public secondary education after Lingling, Xuanyun, Yongxing and Ruitian, and the rest of the places have only popularized Erlang and Juvenile Schools, and only half of them are public schools, half of which are concentrated in other cities in the county. Only in each county and county government and in key cities can there be a fee-paying government secondary school.

At present, the financial and educational resources are not sufficient to implement compulsory basic education throughout the country, so both public and government-financed schools have to pay fees. The cost of public schools is about half that of self-financed schools, but the overall cost is still much cheaper than that of private schools where knowledge was scarce and books were scarce 30 years ago.

This is all thanks to paper and printing technology, as well as increased incomes as productivity increases, with two-way progress reducing the cost of education.

In addition, the state treasury has special education expenses every year to subsidize the education system, and the finances of Yongxing, Xuanyun, Ruitian, and Lincheng provide free compulsory education to the children of workers and military martyrs engaged in industrial production, basically forming a situation in which the education and scientific research industry base with the Lingling as the core, the surrounding prefecture-level cities as the core circle, and the capital county as the radiation area, and thus as the central core, radiating to the surrounding counties.

Guangxin due to the Lincheng chemical plant, Bailiyan first began to pilot the secondary allocation of resources, in the future, Beihai, Wanchuan two places as a platform, and then build two more economic, industrial and cultural centers, so as to continue to expand and replicate, after the formation of scale effect, within twenty or thirty years to establish a secondary and senior education system covering the existing 11 counties of Xianguo.

On the afternoon of the 10th day of the first month of August, Bailiyan hurriedly set off to return to Chenling and arrived at Chenling at noon on the 13th. Originally supposed to arrive on the evening of the 11th, Bailiyan took the time to "raid" Dingyang to inspect the local economic situation.

After Zhang Jun's death, Zhang You inherited the title and continued to serve as the taiwei, and although his second son Zhang did not inherit the title and land, he also got a lot of property. This is a pure and complete loser, not only wantonly searching for women, but also raising a group of children, although it echoes the spirit of the imperial court's policy of encouraging birth and raising, but if it is all waste, what is the use.

Since the negotiations with the eldest grandson have not yet been concluded, the Xianguo has not received substantial benefits, therefore

When he arrived at the city on the 13th, King Xian did not hold a grand triumphal ceremony outside the city as always, but ordered people to set up a guard of honor with drum music at the head of the city, hold high the flag, and beat the drum and sound the horn when the Baili Yan horse team entered the city, so as to inspire people and show the glory of the triumph of the king.

King Xian summoned hundreds of officials to greet him in the Chenghong Palace, awarded brocade purple clouds and ribbons, gave gold and jade, and other gold, silver, jewelry, cloth, silk and silk were also not rewarded, the reason is still that the war is not over, and now the reward is not appropriate.

After the court meeting dispersed, King Xian moved to Bailing Garden, and only Bailiyan was allowed to accompany him.

"Yongxing Hou has played a great role in my country's military prestige in this battle, and he has made great contributions."

"The king has won the award, if there is no trust of the king, the soldiers are united, and the ministers will never have today's achievements, the king is the well-deserved founder of our army."

"Hehaha...... King Xian smiled from ear to ear, and then continued: "Aiqing has returned to the court, tell the widow about what he saw and heard about this trip to the west." ”

"That's what the minister wants."

The course of the war, King Xian can get accurate information through the front-line battle reports every day, Jiang Hai wants to know everything that happened after Bailiyan went to Liang, but from beginning to end, King Xian never mentioned attacking Liang.

"Great King, the affairs of the Liang State are roughly like this, from the very beginning of this war, the Liang State used the method of fighting tigers to calculate the princes of the four kingdoms of Wei, Xian, Zhi, and Jin, with the intention of making the Liang State expand its land in the short term, and then attack and destroy our Xian State, divide my interests, and lure the princes to besiege our country and weaken the countries, so as to expand again.

According to the minister's calculations, if he succeeded, the Liang State would become a fifteen-county power within ten years. If the battle of the destruction of the black scarf was successful, I am afraid that it would be a country of twenty counties, so from the beginning, this was a huge trap. ”

"Then next, what is the plan of the Marquis of Yongxing, the seven counties of the eldest grandson are undecided, how should the widow reply to the lord of the eldest grandson."

"Back to the king, the minister thought that he should first take the seven counties as the capital, forcing the eldest grandson to give up the four counties of Sangnan, Sangbei, Qingtian and Shutian, if he does not allow it, my country can take another step back and only take the three counties of Sangbei, Sangnan and Qingtian. If they do not allow it again, they will cut off negotiations, and all the seven counties will be mine, and they will never be returned. ”

King Xian was not without concern, and he said:

"If you swallow all the seven counties and put them overseas, the widow is not at ease, what if the northerners monster captures it one day."

"The king, please rest assured, with our country's current national strength, it will only take three to five years to rectify the seven counties, and ten years later, the minister will raise troops to crusade against the eldest grandson to destroy his country, so the eldest grandson is now reluctant to give up the land of the three counties, and it will be taken by our country in the future."

The fundamental purpose of the expedition was to subdue the kingdom and intimidate the princes, but there was no real economic benefit, so to achieve a balance between political and economic interests, the only way to achieve a balance of political and economic interests was to acquire land and population.

Under the occupation of the Wei Guo, the old land of the Sun State had a small population, a dilapidated economy and industry, and too high operating costs, so it was not cost-effective, and it had to damage the future united front because of the humiliation of the Wei Guo, and the pros and cons could only be cut off from the land of the eldest grandson.

With the current situation, no matter whether the eldest grandson is willing to return the four counties to the seven counties, he has to cede the land, and there is no choice, Bai Liyan has a great confidence that the eldest grandson will succumb to the pressure of reality, and finally agree to the conditions of the Xianguo.

The area of half Rui County promised by Liang State is very large, not less than the area of Sangnan, Sangbei and Qingtian counties combined, and Rui County is a whole inland plain landform, with a mild climate and snow in winter, and can cultivate and raise horses, while Sangnan and Sangbei are hilly landforms, Qingtian is a mountainous landform, and the arable land is broken, so the land efficiency is not high, and it is more used for cash crops such as mulberry silkworms.
