After listening to Wang Yan's proposal on preparing for war, Du Yinxi and others reported on the civil affairs and commercial aspects of Huguang.

Wang Yan is now the governor of the five provinces, and although the line has not yet been established, he nominally has the power to control the military and political affairs of the provinces.

After the discussion, the officials dispersed, He Tengjiao left Wang Yan for dinner, he was originally the governor of Huguang, the leader of Chudi, and the power was arbitrary, but now he has a sense of power.

If it were someone else, He Tengjiao might have started to stumble earlier, making black hands and various moves together, but his boss was his son-in-law Wang Yan.

Although He Tengjiao had decided to help Wang Yan, all of a sudden, the rights were divided, and his mentality still couldn't be adjusted for a while.

Weng and his son-in-law ate for a while, and He Tengjiao suddenly put down his chopsticks, "In the morning, Shiheng said that he wanted to operate Wu Jinxi and Yan Qiheng to enter the cabinet, but these two people are too far away from Zuo Maodi, Su Guansheng, Chen Zizhuang and others in terms of qualifications, I am afraid that even if they enter the cabinet, they will not have much right to speak." In the meeting hall, Shiheng handled many things in Huguang and was handy, but the old man was idle. It's better for the old man to enter the cabinet and entrust all the things in Huguang to you. First, it is convenient for Shiheng to integrate Huguang, and secondly, the old man has enough qualifications to speak for Shiheng in the cabinet. ”

Wang Yan saw He Tengjiao put down the chopsticks, and immediately put down the chopsticks, listening to him, but shook his head, "If Taishan enters the pavilion, it is not impossible, but it is not the time yet, at least there is still some time to wait." ”

Wang Yan really needs a Wenchen who can speak in the court, he and Su Guansheng and others are considered to be a cooperative relationship under the common goal of revitalizing the Ming Dynasty, and it is not very solid, and there was almost a big conflict last time, if He Tengjiao enters the court, it is indeed a good choice.

"Why?" He Tengjiao is a person who longs for power after all, that is, he can no longer compete with his son-in-law for power, and he is not used to being managed, so he thought of entering the center, with his qualifications, coupled with the support of his son-in-law, Zuo Maodi also has to give way to him, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the head of the cabinet.

Wang Yan explained: "If Taishan enters the court, the imperial court will inevitably let Dufutai take over the post of Governor of Chu, although my relationship with Dufutai is acceptable, but he is not my person after all." And in the near future, I will go back to Guangnan, and Chudi still wants Taishan to preside over for a while. ”

Wang Yan's current defect is that there are not many highly qualified ministers to take refuge, and in the five provinces, in addition to the old man He Tengjiao and himself, Guizhou, Sichuan, and Yunnan, not to mention the governors, and even the governors are not his people.

Of course, this is still related to Wang Yan's late entry into officialdom, less than thirty years old, less than four years as an official, those old fritters may regard him as a political ally, but it is difficult to take refuge in him.

He Tingjiao listened and nodded, which was regarded as an endorsement of his words.

After eating, Wang Yan left Wuchang City under the escort of the cavalry, and then boarded a large ship of 2,000 materials from the Wuchang wharf, and sailed north in the river waves, entered Wuhu, and soon arrived at the north shore.

On the north shore of Wuhu Lake were moored hundreds of large ships, their flags waving, and the deck was full of shirtless and barefoot soldiers, and the generals walked in front of them, shouting loudly from time to time.

There are also boats shuttling on the lake, and more than a dozen large ships are obviously divided into two teams, and they are in drills, and the boats change their formations from time to time with the order flag.

Two warships approached on the lake, and immediately hooked like a shuttle, hooked the strings of the boats, and mounted the planks, and the soldiers, wielding wooden knives, began a broadside battle.

Wang Yan's boat avoided the trained sailors and slowly docked by the dock, he stood on the side of the boat and looked out, on the vast wilderness around Wuhu, the camp stretched, and a big flag fluttered in the wind over the camp.

Because Huguang has always been in a defensive state, in the face of the Qing army's attack, the Ming army guarded the fortified city, so that the Qing soldiers could not get supplies in the north of the Han River, lengthened the Qing army's grain transportation route, and increased the Ming army's chances of victory.

In northeastern Hubei Province, a large amount of land has been abandoned, and the rice fields are overgrown with weeds, making this large area a good place for horse grazing.

War horses can't be kept in a circle, and there must be enough places to gallop to ensure the ability of war horses to fight.

In that year, Wang Anshi of the Northern Song Dynasty changed the law, reformed the horse administration, and gave money to let the people move back to their homes, but as a result, all the war horses were abolished, and they could only pull the stone mill and transport goods, and they could not go to the battlefield at all.

This time, Wang Yan seized more than 30,000 war horses from Wu Sangui, although the harvest was extremely rich, but how to raise horses was also a big problem.

Although these horses are hard-working Mongolian horses, they are still very expensive to raise, but fortunately there is such a large area to gallop at this time, coupled with the weeds everywhere, which saves him a lot of horse material.

In addition to Wang Yan's war horses here, most of the Ming troops were also camped here.

It is far away from Wuchang, and the surrounding area is deserted, so it will reduce the disturbance of the people, and second, it will allow the soldiers to concentrate on training, so as not to be weakened by the sisters in the city.

In the military system designed by Wang Yan, it actually combines the characteristics of the Tang system and the Qin system, with the government soldiers coming from the Tang system and the third-level soldiers coming from the Qin system.

The government soldiers are the soldiers, the local towns and battalions are the soldiers, and the various departments of the Wuzhong Army are sharp soldiers, and a soldier starts from the government soldiers and finally becomes a member of the Wuzhong Army.

During this period, after screening layer by layer, those who can enter the Wuzhong Army are the elites of various departments, and most of these elites will be promoted to officers, and then delegated to the lower two levels, controlling local people, and gradually forming a large interest group.

In this way, the Wuzhong Army actually replaced the Forbidden Army and the Sixth Division of the Son of Heaven, and Wang Yan's control of the Wuzhong Army was equivalent to controlling the Ming Army.

In the future, he will rebuild the Governor's Office, include the generals in it, and take turns to lead the army outside, and the generals of the local departments should also be transferred every few years to avoid commanding a large army for a long time and turning the army into private soldiers.

Although this will reduce the combat effectiveness of the army, it will avoid warlords and avoid the division of feudal towns, which is imperative.

Of course, Wang Yan will not implement it now, the strong enemy has not been eliminated, and his strength is not enough to suppress the overall situation.

In this army expansion, Wang Yan mainly organized He Tengjiao's five armies of Shence, and the five loyal armies will select troops from Shence, Wuwei and other places in the future.

At this time, the big ship shook for a while, and finally docked at the dock, Wang Yan quickly stepped off the big boat, and after a while, more than 100 cavalry rushed like lightning, Dai Zhifan, Wang Shixiu and Huguang generals all came to greet him.

In the camp, the shouts were all over the sky, and the excitement was extraordinary, and countless soldiers were on the wilderness, following the beat of the drums, changing the great array, and the earth was shaking with the neat footsteps.

(Thank you for the reward for smiling)
