On the day when Yu Shengren entered Kuizhou, Qian Duoduo went south along the Han River, all the way like a bamboo, and the Niu monks and children fought at the mouth of the Han River, the Wuchang army was strong in the water army, and after the defeat of the army, the Niu monks and children lined up on the river, and Qian Duoduo was at a loss.

At the moment of emergency, the town navy Jiedu made He Sancai supervise the water army to rush to reinforcements, and the waterway coordination, launched a fierce attack in the middle of the night, destroyed the joint camp of the water army of Niu Seng and the children in one fell swoop, burned more than 500 ships, and reflected the red surface of the river.

Niu monks and children were defeated and fled to Yuezhou, and Qian Duoduo chased after him.

Hunan observation envoy He Mingqi saw that the general trend of Niu Monk and Child had gone, and led the army to assist Qian Duoduo in besieging the city, the city was broken, Niu Monk and Child were captured, and they were deported to Beijing, Li Mao pardoned his crime and hired him as a scholar of Wenyuan Palace.

In the battle of Wuchang, He Sancai made great contributions, and destroyed the Yangtze River warships, Qian Duoduo went down the river to smash the Jiangnan plan to go bankrupt, He Sancai supported his cronies to serve as Jiangxi observers, and seized Xuanshe, his power increased greatly, and there was a great tendency to sweep the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Mao was unwilling in his heart, and on the one hand urged Qian Duoduo to move his troops east to occupy Huainan, and on the other hand, he planned to cut the deer into Fujian.

Fujian observation made Xia Que people learn that Li Chen died violently, Chengdu was occupied by Li Mao, and learned that Niu Shengyu was defeated and captured, Yu Shengren conquered Kuizhou and was promoted to the general of the Right Shence Army, and was accumulating strength to prepare to attack Jiangling, and Jiangling was full of mourning inside and outside. Suddenly feeling that the general trend had gone, he sent his second son Xia Min to Beijing to ask to see Xue Rong and convey his intention to return to Li Mao.

Fujian has been infiltrated by He Sancai's people, and it is far away from Heluo in Guanzhong, Li Mao is beyond the reach of the whip, and accepting the surrender of Xia Que's people will inevitably be interfered with by He Sancai.

After thinking about it, Li Mao finally decided to send Lu Cut south.

Lu Judge was ordered to go south to preach, to assist He Sancai to gain a firm foothold in the south of the Yangtze River, and now He Sancai has full wings, and Lu Cut is already incompatible, Lu Judge has long had the intention of returning, and got Li Mao's instructions, so he immediately led the believers south to Fujian to preach.

He Sancai knew his intentions and immediately sent troops to pursue, Qian Duoduo saw the opportunity, led the army from Ezhou to the east, along the river, and the goal went straight to Runzhou. He Sancai was shocked, and hurriedly dispatched troops to deploy defenses along the river to defend Runzhou.

As a result, Lu Que gained a firm foothold in Fujian and assisted Xia Que people to gain a firm foothold in Fuzhou and other places.

Huainan Jiedu made Cui Yi suffer from the bullying of Wang Zhixing and He Sancai, and he had the heart to return to the dynasty. Hearing that Qian Duoduo came to the east of the river, he fought for his life and miraculously broke the town navy entrenched in the south of Yangzhou. He also sent troops to besiege Haozhou, and recaptured Haozhou from Wang Zhixing for Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo's army entered Yangzhou, and He Sancai sent an envoy to Beijing to plead guilty and took the initiative to withdraw from Jiangxi. Li Mao asked him to help Qian Duoduo capture Haozhou. Haozhou fell into the hands of Wang Zhixing, Huainan was uneasy, and it was even more difficult not to take the future at this moment.

He Sancai sent the water army to block the Huai River, and Qian Duoduo succeeded in attacking.

At this time, Huainan fell into the hands of Li Mao, and Li Mao took Qian Duoduo as the envoy of Huainan Festival and named Meng Guogong.

Cui Yi returned to the court, worshiped Shang Shuling, was named the prince of Guangde County, and lived in Chang'an.

Xia Que returned to Beijing as the Zhongshu Order, and was named the Marquis of Wuxiang. Fujian pirates invaded the border, left behind and could not be controlled, the leader of the righteous people, Lu Zhi led the troops to repel the pirates, won the admiration of all the people, and the local people wrote tens of thousands of words, supporting him as the king of Fujian. He Sancai, the envoy of the town and navy, severely reprimanded the deer for making chaos, sent troops to crusade, and defeated the outside of Jianzhou. On the way back to his division, He Sancai captured Yue Lingxin, an observer in eastern Zhejiang, and captured the land of eastern Zhejiang. Use the eldest son He Zang to observe the queen.

Lu sent an envoy to the court to show his loyalty to Dayan, and Li Mao named him the king of Min and served as the envoy of the Haixi Army.

Seeing that Fujian was taken by Li Mao, Liu Que was uneasy, and sent an envoy to the court to ask Li Mao to send an envoy to take over Lingnan. coincided with the observation of Guizhou that caused Lu Xun to die of illness, and Huang Dongman took the opportunity to enter the Kou and trapped 20 counties in a row. Li Mao decided to postpone the reception of Lingnan, and ordered Jingmen, Hunan, Kuizhong, Dongchuan, Gui, Rong, and Yong to send troops to quell the chaos. Jingmen Junjie made Hu Nongchuan secretly help Dongman to be denounced and dismissed, Jiangling Shaoyin Chen Fu was elected as the queen, and the above table was dedicated to the edition, Li Mao withdrew from Jingmen Town, and Chen Fu was the Yin of Jiangling Mansion and served as the Jingnan Observation Envoy.

The rebellion of the Huangdong Barbarians dragged on for a long time, and the rebellion of the southern towns rose again, forcing Li Mao to change the plan of the southern expedition, and ordered Lu Zhen to lead the Shu army to quell the chaos, and Lu Zhen's troops entered Guizhou, seven battles and seven victories, beheaded Huang Shaoqing, the leader of the Huangdong Barbarians, and pacified the Huangdong Barbarian Rebellion.

One day, Qin Fengmian reported that Liu Cong wanted to Tulai Prefecture and was stepping up his efforts to expand his troops.

Li Mao discussed with Zheng Xiaozhang and Chang Mucang: "Zhang Maozhao and Cheng Zhigong have entered the court, and I intend to merge the Yiwu Army into Youzhou; The two states of De and Di were merged into the Heng Navy, and the new Heng Navy was prepared to be built in the land of the four states; handed over Laizhou to Liu Congji, strengthened his strength, and restrained He Jintao and Wang Zhixing, what do the two think. ”

Zheng Xiaozhang said: "You can Huang Renfan Zhen Xinheng Navy, and then send a general Zhen Chengde to contain Wei Bo and deter Shi Xiancheng." ”

Chang Mucang said: "If Laizhou gives Liu Congzhi, Dengzhou will be alone, if Liu Congzhi has different intentions, how to contain it?" ”

Zheng Xiaozhang said with a smile: "Dengzhou is deep, he has been a duke in Dengzhou, he should know how powerful it is, and he will not easily get involved in Dengzhou." ”

Li Mao said: "I'm not afraid that he will have evil thoughts about Dengzhou, the Qing Navy is not a vegetarian." Not only that, but also try to help him seize Mizhou, so that the old land of Ziqing is a three-legged trend, and three legs are more stable than two feet. ”

The plan was decided, and Li Mao ordered the withdrawal of the Laizhou garrison and handed over the city of Laizhou to Liu Congjian to strengthen its strength.

Huang Renfan served as the envoy of the Henghai Festival, and Li Mao wanted to transfer Zhu Jiu to the envoy of the Chengde Festival, but Zhu Jiu refused, claiming that he was obsessed with beef and mutton on the grassland, and was not used to eating the rice and flour grains of Hengzhou, so he refused to go south.

Li Mao then transferred Ma and Dong as the envoys of the Chengde Festival.

The world is coarse, the rice grain in the south of the Yangtze River is transported into Chang'an and Luoyang through the territories of the Kwantung princes, although it is safe for the time being, Li Mao is uneasy, the Tang Dynasty is destroyed, and the relatives and nobles in the court have been purged to the greatest extent, especially after Li Han returned to the capital, most of the relatives and nobles who were loyal to the Li Tang royal family jumped out and were wiped out by both light and dark.

The grange that originally belonged to the Tang royal family and relatives was confiscated by the new dynasty, and the total number is a large number, whether these fields were rewarded to the nouveau riche or divided equally among the people. Li Mao hesitated for a while, and discussed with Zheng Xiaozhang, Li Jiang, Li Deyu, Xie Biao and others several times to no avail, and summoned the clerk to Beijing to ask questions.

The clerk suggested that it be taken into the imperial village and rented to the people for a long time, and the tax income should be used to supply the food and salary of the forbidden army and subsidize the knights. Official deacons, meritorious service, knights to set relatives, the people who are knighted are nominally relatives of the emperor, and the emperor is nominally the emperor's private farm, and the emperor subsidizes his relatives with the income of the emperor's village, which is naturally understandable.

Moreover, the imperial village is the emperor's private property, and the people who lease it only have the right to use it, but have no ownership, so they are not allowed to buy and sell. In this way, the possibility of being forcibly annexed by powerful landlords was prevented.

For a large amount of ownerless wasteland, the practice of who cultivates it belongs to whomever is adopted, and the newly cultivated land, after the cultivation is mature, only needs to pay taxes for five consecutive years to return to the individual, register it, pass it on from generation to generation, and also allow it to be bought and sold.

This proposal was very much in line with Li Mao's heart, and Li Mao used the clerk as the secretary of the household department and the envoy of the imperial village to preside over the land reform in Guanzhong. The nationalization of a large number of fertile fields and beautiful houses, and the prohibition of buying and selling, are beneficial to the small people, beneficial to the recovery of the economy, but not to the wealthy families, and also unfavorable to the nine surnames of Heluo, who have huge wealth and are ready to make war and troubled fortunes.
