On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

When I presided over the cultivation ceremony in Linyi City in recent years. As the fourth person in Huaizhen, Zhao Long, the Qingzhou guard envoy, finally returned from the south.

In this way, the basic pattern of the five giants in Huaidong has filled in another link.

The No. 2 person, Xin Jiaxuan, has been taken on vacation and returned to Guangfu to prepare for marriage, and at that time, as the brother-in-law and the party, he will also have to go back to the army and government affairs.

In this way, there will inevitably be some kind of gap in the upper-level power system in Huaidong, and the remaining deputy envoy Wang Gui is a typical military general after all, and he is basically insensitive to government affairs. In addition to the field that he is familiar with, he rarely expresses his position and attitude in other aspects.

If I really need to go to Anton, he will at least be a temporary replacement for the army in the rear.

But

After he returned from Huainan this time, in addition to bringing a package of private agreements signed later, he also brought an important message.

The rebellions in the south of the Yangtze River have been declared to have been destroyed and gradually subsided with the massive manpower and material resources invested in the hands of the national dynasty, and even the rebellions of the remnants of the Great Cloud Sect, which were the most vigorous, were only besieged and suppressed in a corner of Fujian.

The historical heritage of the so-called pillars of the dynasty and the energy of the regime machine that have been taken seriously can be seen from this.

Therefore, the country and the DPRK had the spare strength to draw out their hands and enrich and strengthen the battlefields on the central and western fronts. Therefore, Jiangning Xingtai and the base camp are brewing a big move after the beginning of spring.

For example, plans were put forward to launch an offensive during the spring and summer, when the Southern army was more suitable, in order to push the central and western fronts back to the north.

And as an important countermeasure and the need to contain the offensive. The Huainan side is also wiping troops from Lima, exercising military training, and also recruiting and replenishing troops from the local displaced people in Huainan, stockpiling a large amount of grain, grass and other materials, and under the sudden increase in demand, it has also increased various exchanges and mutual benefits with Huaidong.

But at this juncture,

In front of Huainan's arrival in front of the army, there were suddenly rumors that the commander was going to be changed. It is said that Manager Ning has been in charge of being outside for a long time. Originally, according to the practice of the dynasty, he was transferred to the Privy Council and became one of the Privy Councillors and governors who were always in charge of the Quartet.

It was only because of the needs of rights and interests at a critical moment that he was retained to turn the tide. Now that the situation in Huainan has stabilized, and the armaments have been roughly reorganized and replenished, as the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Road, it is time to retire.

According to the speculation of those relations that Zhao Long contacted, it seems that this is also related to the party struggle between the old and new northerners not long after the split between the DPRK and China.

As the second person in the New Taipei Party after Sun Jingbang, the general of the Counselor's Office, Ning Chongxuan, the director of the Southeast Recruitment Department and the head of the camp, is undoubtedly the highest-ranking member of the New Taipei Party in the army. This time, it inevitably became the target of the war.

And the reason is also very simple and powerful, he has monopolized the military power in the southeast for too long, and the subordinates and disciples he has cultivated are still batch after batch. Even if he moves to the left normally, and other war zones and divisions go, I am afraid that there will not be enough level to place him, but it will be a humiliation for those who have worked hard.

Therefore, according to the remarks of the court, the so-called long-term plan of not rewarding high merit and not getting along with the monarch and the minister is to give up the opportunity to others and play a role in a more important position.

And behind this, in addition to the seriously weakened Old North Party, there seem to be other forces as a driving force and help.

As far as I know, the so-called Eastward Expansion faction, which is one of the two major factions in the country, is itself a relatively loose regional alliance with the Beiren Party as the core and similar ideas.

After the complete failure of the Northern Expedition, which had invested countless manpower and material resources and years of preparation, and the serious infighting and weakening of the new Taipei and the old north, the alliance was almost fragmented and no longer had its old view.

As a result, this gave those conservatives and moderate factions in the DPRK who had been in the wind, and even the forces that had been suppressed to advocate westward expansion, take the opportunity to gradually make a comeback in the court, and even counterattack.

It was only because of the insistence of the prison state in Jiangning, and the great minister who was half retired and half in charge of the country, always stood on this position and continued to endorse the strategy of advancing northward, that they suppressed these dissent and murmurs.

But this time, it seems that the Guangfu Dynasty in the rear has some irrepressible situation and momentum. This also has a lot of implications and subsequent effects on my own family forces in Guangfu.

Then again, because this rumor is really well-founded, it is not groundless.

Therefore, in front of the Huainan Army, some people's hearts inevitably floated. Zhao Long also had to spend more time and energy to negotiate more in detail with the commanders and ministers under the Southeast Division, so as to finalize longer-term follow-up matters and ensure that the interests of the local area and Huaidong would not be changed by people.

Huaidong's supply and quota have been reduced, which is also a certain link in the exchange of various political interests and resource adjustments that have occurred in this context.

This is both good and bad news for me.

From a relatively optimistic point of view, the fight in this round of war will certainly involve great attention and experience between the northern and southern camps for a long time. But it also gave Huaidong and its surrounding areas under my rule valuable time to continue to recuperate, operate in a low-key manner and bury themselves in development for the next few years.

In this way, it will gradually digest the surrounding control areas, absorb and transform more buffer periods for local products and population agglomeration.

The less optimistic news is that Huaidong is in the embarrassing situation of being relatively marginalized in this war. You must know that as the importance and attention of Huaidong continue to decline, the corresponding support and resource supplement provided by the dynasty will also be further reduced.

There is no way to do this, the total amount of resources in the political game is so much, even if you can keep it simple for a while, but there is no guarantee that it will never waver for a long time.

With no shortage of ambitious people and potential competitors around those in power, it is undoubtedly quite difficult to maintain attention and enthusiasm for a matter for a long time in the process of managing all kinds of opportunities.

It's a pity that although I have the strength to claim one side, but in terms of identity and game qualifications, I still can't get on the stage and become one of the gamblers in this game with the world as the layout, and it is still one of the more important chips and hole cards in the pattern of the superior.

"Give me the ...... to contact Hebei immediately"

I thought about it, and I wanted to recruit the fifth level of the secretary

"I need their cooperation to launch an offensive from the north......"

Next, I said to Mu Long, the general of the pacesetter battalion and the deputy governor of the Marquis of Yu.

"Through the channel of the Jiansheng Army, secretly transfer some of the Fanhu accounts that have surrendered......"

"I need these genuine fanhus to perform a good show on the north bank of the Huai River that everyone can see......"

To say that raising thieves and faking enemies are self-fattening, it has always been a long-lasting drama in all dynasties, even I am not exempt from vulgarity.

Since you want to be idle, you must at least give the outside world a basic impression that you are loyal to state affairs and have no time to take care of yourself. Otherwise, all kinds of red eyes on the rights and wrongs of the party and the DPRK and China will not let Huaidong easily stay out of the matter.

In the end, Wuping specially mentioned one more thing to me.

"The work of the anti-counterterrorism committee has been very effective."

I said nonchalantly

"Is this Qin Lixing's leadership ......?"

"Is there anything else they are doing......

Since it was specifically reported to me, rather than in a routine briefing, it meant that there was something else going on.

"Something ...... Something"

Fifth Ping nodded

"Stakeholders involved in the Anti-Rebellion ......"

According to him, as the screening and quarantine of displaced people became regular, the anti-rebellion committee also began, and naturally expanded its executive powers, including hunting and searching.

Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some jurisdictional disputes with some local magistrates, inspectors, and inspectors at all levels of the sentencing (judicial trial) system, so that they accuse each other of overstepping their responsibilities and small contradictions.

Therefore, through their respective channels, appeals and petitions came up almost simultaneously.

It is really worthy of Qin Changjiao, who has been stinky for thousands of years in another time and space, and this opportunity will try to climb up the pole with a needle.

However, if you really want to calculate it, his duty as a sub-patrol to supervise the imperial history is actually a part of raising the judgment and supervising the prison proceedings. It's just that if I don't admit it, his so-called authority and ability to act is a complete joke.

That's a good thing for me, though. His potentially utilitarian enterprising spirit is also of sufficient use in Huaidong for the time being.

And as a new regime with a sound system, even if it is a disgusting dirty thing, it needs to be done. And if the position is not used properly, or if it is not capable enough, the consequences and effects are just as bad.

Another aspect of the Fifth Ping Report is that between colleagues and deployments who have been in contact, Qin Changjiao's personal evaluation is also showing a trend of differentiation at both ends.

There are good comrades who think that he lives a simple and hard life, and that he is very strict in self-discipline and generous to others. There are also quite disdainful that he is too frugal, stingy and stingy.

Basically, except for occasionally going to Yuqingyuan to drink some flower wine, and the osprey never stays overnight, there is no other expense. All the benefits and benefits were accumulated, and then sent back thousands of miles away, looking like a couple of deep love, quite dedicated and loyal to their duties.

As for his subordinates, they are generally very convincing and have a good reputation. It's just because he has some stubbornness and means to do things, and he has enough responsibility.

Therefore, although the work of the anti-rebellion committee members is inevitably suspected of being rude and overcorrect, the results achieved are obvious to all. So much so that just looking at the people and incidents investigated by the Social and Counter-Terrorism Committees and the Ma Survey, there is not a quarter of the total number of people and incidents investigated by the Anti-Counter Committee.

Of course, the main reason is that because of the existence of this anti-rebellion committee, in the process of various outsiders entering Huaidong's rule, it has played a role in a disguised firewall filtering.

This sounds like a model of the new era of devotion to duty, self-denial, and love for the country. But in my impression, where did Qin Changjiao, who had a honey-bellied sword, three swords on both sides, and no blood in the killing, go, could it be that it was hidden very deep in this time and space.

Therefore, it seems impossible to find his faults and mistakes in a short period of time, and at most he can only reprimand the relevant departments for their methods of doing things and their eagerness for quick success.

This is not the style and trend I was hoping for. I still want to wait for him to kill himself, so that he can completely use it up and throw it away.
