Chapter 257: Military and Political Talent

Ten days later, Fang Yuan was resting in Canglang Pavilion, discussing with Xiao Yuan, who was six months pregnant, about the plan to take over the five prefectures in northern Zhejiang.

Xiao Yuan is now in charge of the governor's seal, and Fang Yuan originally intended to test the school to test her vision and knowledge, so she wanted to hear whether she had any plans to take over Jiaxing Mansion and Huzhou Mansion.

Xiao Yuan looked at the map and said, "Childe, Jiaxing Mansion and Huzhou Mansion are both big grain producing mansions in the south of the Yangtze River. And Jiaxing Prefecture relies on our territory, so it is relatively easy to take over. ”

"There is a Haining Health Station in Jiaxing Prefecture, and the military strength is about three or four thousand, which is only a number on the books, and the actual strength is only about one or two thousand at most, according to my estimates. For these tofu soldiers who have lost their combat effectiveness, the Xuanjia Army can take over by sending two thousand households at will. ”

"I suggest that Commander Ma lead a thousand households in the infantry battalion to take over Hainingwei in Jiaxing Mansion. If Hai Ningwei accepts the adaptation, he will still perform his original duties; If they resist and do not obey, they will be beheaded from the command of the guard station, thousands of households, and hundreds of households, and their families will be exiled. ”

"The fourth uncle led two hundred households to take over the Jiaxing Mansion and implement the petition system first. If the officials below the prefect level in Jiaxing Prefecture are willing to obey and cooperate with the takeover, the cases reported by the people will be mainly based on compensation, supplemented by punishment. If they do not cooperate with the takeover, they will be punished with a first-class law crime. ”

Fang Yuan listened to her well-organized and balanced plan, and was very satisfied, so she immediately wrote an official document, stamped it with the governor's seal, and sent it to the Taihu Lake base and Jinyiwei respectively.

Xiao Yuan's eyes fell on Huzhou Mansion and said, "Huzhou Mansion is more complicated, although Huzhou Mansion has only one guard of a thousand households, and the troops are not very strong, but it is close to Hangzhou Mansion, Guangde Mansion, and Taiping Mansion, and it is easy to be attacked by Liu Liangzuo from Chizhou and Huang Degong from Huizhou. If only two or three thousand Xuanjia troops were sent, it would be too big, and once a war broke out, they would fall into the disadvantage of being outnumbered. I suggest that the third uncle take 5,000 Xuanjia troops to Huzhou Mansion, expand Huzhou to guard the Thousand Households, expand it into Huzhou Guard, and station 5,000 Xuanjia troops to defend against enemies from the direction of Chizhou and Huizhou. Childe, do you say it's good? ”

Although she is only sixteen or seventeen years old, she has served on the side of every meeting of the Xuanjia Army over the years, listened to and learned a lot, and worked hard in secret, no matter her vision and knowledge, she has traveled a thousand miles a day.

Fang Yuan had to admit that some women were particularly talented in military and political affairs.

For example, Wu Zetian sat on the cold bench of the harem for more than ten years during the Taizong period. In the Gaozong period, as soon as he returned to the palace, he rose like a rocket, and in just two or three years, he defeated the queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu, who was being favored, and also attracted Xu Jingzong and Li Ji, foreign ministers to stand on his side.

This is by no means how beautiful Wu Zetian is and how much Gaozong lacks maternal love, but that Wu Zetian is already perfect in both the harem and the means of the foreign dynasty. Wu Zetian's contact with politics is also very short, at best, less than two or three years, but she can integrate and implement it in a very short period of time, and this is where her talent lies.

This talent determines that some women can learn a little, and some women can't learn it in a lifetime. Xiao Yuan is precisely a very talented woman like Wu Zetian, and she is also the woman that Fang Yuan needs most at the moment, who can give advice and share government affairs for herself.

Fang Yuan pinched her pink face and said with a smile, "You have planned everything, early green is better than blue, what's wrong?" Wu Zetian is nothing more than that. ”

Xiao Yuan was stunned, and then smiled happily, "Where can I compare with Wu Zetian?" Wu Zetian has a Emperor Gaozong who would rather offend the world and bear the infamy of the ages, but also make her the queen Emperor, I am still far away! ”

Fang Yuan was stunned there, this dead girl, she didn't forget to squeeze herself at any time. If you want to mention Xiaoyuan as the wife of the main room, you must leave the princess. Yu Gong, at this sensitive moment, unless he intends to immediately hang the anti-flag, he should still leave the princess to calm the brake, so as to avoid any misjudgment with the court; Yu Private, for Princess Kunxing, Fang Yuan still has a deep sense of guilt, she is really in love with herself, but she has been a victim of political struggle, if she pushes her again now, it is estimated that her life will be ruined.

Seeing that he was noncommittal, Xiao Yuan began to hesitate and entangle, lowered his gaze and said, "So I still keep my duty and take care of the governor's seal for my son, and don't think about it." ”

Fang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know how to talk for a while.

Xiao Yuan wrote the official document of the plan to take over the Huzhou Mansion and stamped it with the governor's seal.

Suddenly, the guards of Canglang Pavilion came to report, and the secret report of the Jinyi Guard of the Zhoushan Islands arrived.

In order to monitor the intelligence of all parties in the outer court, including the Taihu Lake base, the Zhoushan Islands Naval Base, the Changshu Arsenal, the Jiangnan University Hall, and even the yamen of various prefectures, prefectures and counties, there are Jinyi guards who Qin Zhan inserts to secretly monitor the movements, which can be said to be all-round monitoring without dead ends.

Xiao Yuan opened the secret report sent back by Jinyiwei, and read in a coquettish voice, "Childe, Jinyiwei's secret report, Shi Lang had a secret meeting with the secret envoy sent by the Zheng family twelve days ago, and Jinyiwei seized the note left at the scene, please look at it." ”

Fang Yuan took the note that Shi Fu wrote to Shi Lang, stared straight at the four words 'descend early, look forward to return', smiled and said, "I have a close relationship with Commander Shi, he will never betray me and go to the Zheng family again, don't be suspicious." ”

Xiao Yuan Zhengrong said, "Does Childe trust Shi Lang too much?" The Xuanjia Army Sailor was fully entrusted to him, if Shi Lang's loyalty changed, the consequences would be unimaginable! ”

Fang Yuan was about to say more, but heard that Jin Yiwei had sent a letter from Shi Lang from the Zhoushan Islands again. The letter was sealed with fire paint, and it was even stamped with the military seal of the Navy Battalion, and at first sight, it was known that it was an official letter from the Navy Battalion.

Fang Yuan personally opened the envelope, opened the letter, and read it at least three times word by word, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

Xiao Yuan saw that his expression was wrong, and asked in amazement, "Childe, let me take a look at the letter." ”

Fang Yuan suddenly got up angrily, tore the letter to shreds, and shouted, "This Shi Lang is simply bold and reckless!" ”

Xiao Yuan saw that he suddenly became so angry that he even tore up the letter, and hurriedly asked, "Childe, what did Shi Lang say in the letter?" ”

Fang Yuan slapped the table heavily and shouted, "He dared to write to Xu Ru and ask me to put Xu Ru back in the Zhoushan Islands." ”

Xiao Yuan Zhengrong said, "Childe, do you still say that Shi Lang has no objections?" He is also an old man who marches and fights, and he doesn't know that Xu Ru, who stayed at the Taihu Lake base, is a hostage? Just begging for Xu Ru like this, that's ill-intentioned! ”

Fang Yuan closed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Xiao Yuan, what do you say?" ”

Xiao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Childe, we immediately used the excuse that Xu Ru was seriously ill, and tricked Shi Lang into going to the Taihu Lake base to visit the patient and arrest him on the spot!" ”

Fang Yuan nodded and said, "You immediately send a private message to Shi Lang and trick him into going to the Taihu base to arrest him!" Then Li Wanquan, the deputy commander of the Navy Battalion, took over the post of commander of Shi Lang's Water Division. ”

Xiao Yuan answered softly, and before the private message was written, Jinyiwei came to report again, and Xu Hua, a big official businessman, brought envoys from the Wa State and the Korean State, and came to discuss the big deal of silk procurement.

Fang Yuan inquired about the reason, and Xu Hua reported the situation to Fang Yuan succinctly, because the silk production in the south of the Yangtze River was in Fang Yuan's hands, and Fang Yuan and the Beijing court had already been in a uproar. This time, the envoys of the two countries crossed the Beijing court and came directly to Fang Yuan to purchase silk.

According to previous negotiations, the Korean envoys wanted to buy 5,000 new pieces of silk, and the Japanese envoys had to buy 50,000 horses at one time. And Xu Hua's quotations to the envoys of the two countries were all sold to the West at a price of 6 taels of silver per horse.

When Fang Yuan heard his offer, he was slightly stunned, but he still asked him to invite all the envoys of the Japanese State and the Korean State to have a detailed discussion in person. Because the new silk is Fang Yuan, Xu Hua's own money-making business has nothing to do with Suzhou weaving, and the location of the interview is arranged in Canglang Pavilion.
