Chapter 698 is ready to go

Nanjing, as the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, brought great political significance by the liberation, it can be said that whoever recovered the southern capital will stand on the commanding heights of politics.

In particular, the bloodline of Longwu and Lu Fan is congenitally insufficient, no matter who does the country, they all feel a bit like distant cousins, taking advantage of the absence of the son-in-law in the family to steal the family's inheritance.

The recovery of Nanjing, for Longwu and Lu Fan, was an excellent opportunity to offset their lack of bloodline, and whoever advanced Nanjing would not be able to shake their legal status.

If Longwu entered first, it was the unfilial piety of the descendants of the main sect, which made the world unstable and the society was lost, and he turned the tide and restored the temple as a side branch and a feudal domain, and his exploits can be described as chasing the Guangwu of the Han Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty is equivalent to rebuilding the rivers and mountains, reopening the ancestral foundation, and the legal system of the world will be returned to the Tang Dynasty from then on.

If King Lu enters Nanjing first, then the emperor will take turns to sit and come to my house tomorrow, and as soon as Longwu Shouyuan is exhausted, it will be the Lu domain to inherit the unification.

In addition to Longwu and King Lu, Wang Yan also wants the credit and prestige of recovering Nanjing, if he can enter Nanjing first, then the court and the emperor will inevitably be gradually hollowed out by him, and he will control the future direction of the Ming Dynasty.

The credit for the recovery of Nanjing, the three parties must strive for it, which determines the direction of the political situation after the Ming Dynasty, and whoever gives in will have to stand aside in the future.

Now it is three families competing for the rule of law.

In the three years of Longwu, generally speaking, Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places were all smooth, and there was no major famine, and the harvested grain, plus the rice and grain purchased from Nanyang, was enough for the people and the government.

But in war, it is not enough to have food, but also to have silver salary, forage, equipment and equipment, and all kinds of preparations must be made.

After He Tengjiao accepted Wang Yan's commission, he set off for Guizhou in a few days, Wang Jincai led 10,000 people to accompany the right army of Shence, plus Chen Youlong, the former army of Shence who was transferred to Guizhou a year ago, Wang Yan has released 20,000 soldiers in Guizhou.

With the backing of 20,000 soldiers, I believe that He Tengjiao can integrate Guizhou, and then ensure that many firms can mine Guizhou's minerals, as well as guard against Sun Kewang, who is nested in Yunnan.

After He Tengjiao left Wuchang, the governor's mansion was occupied by Wang Yan, and before the construction of the Hanyang New City planned in Jiangbei was completed, Wang Yan temporarily dealt with many things here.

Recently, news came from Jiangxi that after Longwu arrived in Ganzhou in early March, he did not stop, and arrived at the Anqing front line in mid-March.

At the same time, the Jiangxi Ming army was frequently mobilized, and many generals such as Li Yuanyin, Yan Keyi, Luo Chengyao, and Xu Qiming under Jin Shenghuan's Wuwei Left Army, as well as the Wuwei Right Army, Sun Shoufa, Wang Deren and others of the Wuwei Central Army, all gathered in the Anqing area with their own men and horses.

In addition to leaving 20,000 new soldiers to guard various places, a total of 70,000 troops were assembled.

The emperor's personal conquest, coupled with a great victory in Jiangxi last year, the soldiers were no longer afraid of the Qing soldiers, and their morale was high for a while.

In order to cooperate with the emperor, Zheng Chenggong also left 20,000 caretakers, and personally led 30,000 troops to the north on a warship, attacking from the sea, wanting to join forces with Longwu under the city of Nanjing.

A moment ago, the land south of the Yangtze River was turbulent, white clouds and dogs, and the momentum of the war was like a sea of clouds rolling.

On the vast land of the lake, the grain, forage, ordnance, and silver that Wang Yan needed were also transported to Wuchang in whole ships.

From Guangzhou, it passes through the Pearl River, then crosses the Lingqu, then enters the Xiangshui, and finally enters the Dongting Lake to connect the Yangtze River to Wuchang.

On this section of the waterway, there are many boats, and the waterway is like a flowing vessel, sending all kinds of supplies to Wuchang.

Wang Yan issued an order to mobilize, and hundreds of thousands of people were requisitioned, and there were shirtless slender men on both sides of the waterway.

On the official roads, mule carts, donkey carts and wheelbarrows from morning to night, and the common people and government soldiers from all over the country participated in the transportation procession.

In addition to the people who transported the supplies, the army was also mobilized on a large scale, and the new soldiers trained near Wuchang were sent to Liangguang, and the Zhongwu and Zhongzhi of Liangguang were transferred to Wuchang.

Wang Yan didn't expect that he would attack Jiangnan so soon, he originally wanted to wait for the new soldiers to form combat strength before launching the battle of Jiangnan, but now that the situation has changed, when the new soldiers are trained, there is no hurry, he can only transfer the elite to Wuchang.

Many of the soldiers of the Wuzhong Army, who had originally retired, were also re-recruited.

For a time, in all villages and villages, I saw the cavalry galloping in and posting the list.

The veterans of the Five Loyal Army went home one after another to pack up their clothes and armor and weapons, and when their families asked them, they only replied: "The king is a big soldier, and the army sticks my name." ”

The old man said goodbye to his family without hesitation and went to Wuchang.

The whole of South China is on fire, but enthusiasm alone is not enough, and the test of the war between the farming nations is logistics.

As soon as the soldiers and horses moved, the silver flowed like water, and they couldn't stop it.

Wang Yan had just established a domain, and the confusion and loss of officials caused by the previous battle with the imperial court affected his preparations.

The most significant of these was that in the midst of such frequent and large-scale transfers, there was a lot of confusion, and the entire shogunate did not know how much money had been spent, how much more money was needed, how much money could be collected in a year, and so on.

Today, when the preparations for the war were hot, Wang Yan summoned many officials of the vassal states to come to the governor's mansion to discuss the current finances and budgets, and how much silver would be needed to fight this battle.

After He Tengjiao left, the Huguang Governor's Mansion was slightly renovated by Wang Yan, and the original lobby of the Governor's Mansion was changed into a meeting hall.

Now Wang Yan is following the example of Lu Fan, the officials are basically appointed by themselves, and some changes have been made, he has set up seven provincial secretaries in the shogunate, as well as the council hall, which is actually the cabinet.

The secretary of the seven provinces is filled by his staff or ministers, and each province is dedicated to helping Wang Yan deal with the affairs of a department, but it cannot be arbitrarily handled, and needs to be discussed by the council hall, and in addition to the seven provincial secretaries who can participate in the council, there are also various ministries of Shangshu, Shilang, and the imperial history of the Tai, as well as six departments to give the matter.

If these people feel that the issue is unreasonable, they can send it back for the seven provincial secretaries to deal with it again, and then discuss it.

Of course, this kind of system has only just begun to be explored, and there are still many problems, and the current officials are not complete, and they need to be supplemented slowly.

At this time, most of the staff and officials who came to participate in the deliberations had already arrived, a total of more than 30 people.

Everyone was sitting in the hall talking in twos and threes, all talking about the many problems in the recent preparations for the war, as well as the strangeness of this hall.

At this time, Wang Yan arrived outside the council hall, and the guards at the door immediately shouted: "Your Highness has arrived!" ”

The hall immediately fell silent, and everyone saw Wang Yan hurrying in under Lu Shikui's escort, and they all stood up to greet him.

The layout of the whole hall is a bit strange, there are three steps in the lobby, on the highest step, there is a table and a chair alone, sitting on it can overlook the entire lobby, the second step is placed down seven tables and seven chairs, three steps to the ground, and it becomes a chapter of tables, but there are no seats.

On the opposite side of these three steps, more than 30 tables and chairs are placed on the steps, forming a group, as if they were opposite to the group on the steps.

This is very different from the traditional decoration, but fortunately, the shogunate staff has explained it before, and the corresponding official positions are placed on each table, so many officials do not know their own positions.
