Officials in Suzhou were also transferred, and Cheng Yue transferred Zhang Yu back to Lin'an as a privy envoy, and Zan Wanshou replaced him as director of the Department of Communications. Zhang Yu is all-round in civil and military affairs, and he is powerful for a while, he can make up for the shortcomings of Wen Tianxiang and others, and he usually goes without saying in the Privy Council, and when Cheng Yue goes on the expedition, he can also sit in Lin'an with Wen Tianxiang and other important ministers, so as to avoid Cheng Yue's worries.

Zhang Yu originally wanted to participate in the expedition to Japan, but there were too many generals who had no choice but to ask for the battle, and Cheng Yue personally led the army, so he had to wait for the next expedition to Vietnam and then find a way to lead the army.

Cheng Yue's goal was to gradually expand the number of personnel of the whole army to more than 1 million after the completion of the entire army, 50,000 to occupy Japan, 400,000 to the south, and 300,000 to the west, not including the navy. Finally, with the rest of the elite soldiers, it will be enough to deal with the decisive battle with Kublai Khan in the future!

After Cheng Yue's order was issued, the court and the Great Song Dynasty armies were all busy and crazy, how huge the framework designed by Cheng Yue, and there were so many specific things to do.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion bore the brunt of the attack, and the various ministries and yamen and the Great Song Dynasty were pouring in like snowflakes, and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, which had just breathed a sigh of relief, was busy again.

In Cheng Yue's study, Pearl and Qinglian shuttled back and forth, so tired that they couldn't breathe. Mrs. Song and Wan Ze have been working hard to write and draft one order after another. Mrs. Gu was immersed in sorting out the various documents that Cheng Yue asked her to sort out, and occasionally Mrs. Song and Qinglian would come over to help.

Cheng Yue was groaning with a few pieces of music in his hand, and he ordered Totoku to take over the entire army in Fujian from the hands of Zhao Mengchuan and Pu Shougeng, who were from the coastal system, although Zhao Mengchuan was a clan, but his people were incompetent, and the 10,000-strong army of Tokh had just arrived in Qingyuan, and Zhao Mengchuan was together with Xie Changyuan, who would be a young eunuch. Honestly handed over the seal letter and map, and all the 40,000 soldiers and horses under his command were handed over to Toto, and expressed his loyalty to Cheng Yue.

Fujian Wang Jiweng did not think so, he thought that the military generals leading the army were easy to have the risk of cutting the drama, and urged Cheng Yue to send civilian officials to supervise the army or palm prints, and not to let the military generals directly lead the troops.

Wang Jiweng is talented. The official reputation is very good, but sometimes he is not sympathetic enough to the people, this can be changed, Cheng Yue has already included him in the official to be reused in the future, so he cannot ignore his opinion, and intends to write him a reply letter in person.

Another letter is the most interesting, written by Chen Wenlong's son-in-law Xu Hanqing and daughter Chen Shuzhen. Chen Wenlong served Cheng Yue in Suzhou, but his son-in-law and daughter were in Fujian, because Chen Wenlong himself was from Fujian.

Chen Wenlong is already quite legendary in history. His daughter is no less than him, and even more so. Chen Shuzhen has been wearing men's clothes since she was a child, likes fencing and making iron pills, has the skill of piercing willows and wind, and learned Shaolin light skills. After marrying Xu Hanqing, she was called Mrs. Xu.

Once went hunting in the mountains with Xu Hanqing, and occasionally got a male and female sword, which was brilliant and clean. Razor-sharp. It is said to have been cast in the Zhou period and lasted for 2,000 years. Mrs. Xu's secret collection is not lightly revealed. Every moonlit night. It is easy to play in the courtyard, circling left and right, and flying up and down. If the viewer sprinkles it with beans and water, and cannot get close, it can be seen that the kung fu is skillful.

Xu Hanqing and his wife were in charge of Caoyun in Fujian. He has thousands of large ships under his command, and his family has tens of thousands. Mrs. Xu also has a brother, who is also famous in history. This person's name is Chen Daju, but the villagers call him Chen Hangyan because of his appearance. Chen Hangyan's skills are also high, the same as Mrs. Xu. In history, the two of them organized a righteous army, causing huge casualties to Meng Yuan, and Fujian was difficult to pacify for many years, which gave Kublai Khan a headache. It's a pity that the time is not with me, and in the end he was betrayed by a traitor and forced into a Jedi, and both died in battle.

Xu Hanqing and his wife wrote to Cheng Yue, requesting that Cheng Yue's big ships be used to transport grain and weapons for Cheng Yue, and when they learned that Cheng Yue was going to expand the army, Mrs. Xu recommended Chen Daju to Cheng Yue, and said that at least 30,000 soldiers had been recruited from his hometown, and he was willing to join the detachment. Mrs. Xu and Chen Daju are both She people, and their clansmen are brave and good at fighting, especially good at fighting in the mountains, which can greatly enhance the strength of Cheng Yue's expedition, and Cheng Yue was very happy to learn about this.

The last letter was sent by Pu Shougeng to the Dadu Governor's Mansion. Pu Shougeng has built sea ships for Cheng Yue in the past year, and has obtained a lot of things that Cheng Yue urgently needs from overseas, and has made great contributions. He learned that Cheng Yue was going to take away all the land and water troops in his hands, and he was extremely unwilling to be left behind, and he was also afraid that he would be cooked by Cheng Yue's rabbit and dead dog, so on the one hand, he used the excuse that the accounts were not clear, delayed the surrender of military power, and hurriedly wrote a letter to express his obedience, obviously expressing obedience to Cheng Yue, and secretly actually looking for many reasons to bargain, wanting to keep as many troops as possible.

Cheng Yue read Pu Shougeng's book, snorted coldly, and threw the fold on the table, a murderous aura faintly revealed from his face.

Wan Ze rarely saw Cheng Yue so angry, so he hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and said softly: "Xianggong, who made you angry?" ”

Cheng Yue tapped on the handrail and said, "Pu Shougeng from Fujian." I ordered him to hand over the army to Tokhtar, and he dared to make an excuse not to do so, did he think that with the little credit he had done for me, I would save him some face? I want to change the law, and the reorganization of the army is a vital part, and he actually ignored my orders! It seems that he still regards Fujian and Quanzhou as his Pu family, and I am still too polite to him! ”

Wan Ze knew very well what the consequences of the secession of the Mongolian khanates would be, and said: "I have also heard of this Pu Shougeng, didn't he say that he was very deferential when he came to see Xianggong last time?" Why did you disobey Xianggong's order this time? ”

Cheng Yue said: "Whether it is his wealth or status, his biggest reliance is Quanzhou Port." To keep the port of Quanzhou under his control, it must be protected by an elite army. He was afraid that after handing over the army, I would covet his wealth, and he was even more afraid that I would cross the river and tear down the bridge and hand over the port of Quanzhou to others to take care of. Hmph, villain's opinion! After the completion of my Shanghai port, what is his Quanzhou port? With his little money and status, can I see it? He has a lot of tricks in my hands, and the reason why I didn't touch him is because he has always been deferential to me. It seems that I will give him a good beating, and then show the other local princes what will happen if they disobey my orders, even if they are as disobedient as him! ”

Wan Ze saw that Cheng Yue had a murderous intention, obviously he was very angry, and he was immediately full of resentment towards Pu Shougeng. Her criteria for looking at a person are very simple, what makes Cheng Yue happy is a good person, and what makes him angry is a bad person.

Wan Ze said: "Xianggong, you said that Pu Shougeng has a lot of handles in your hands, what's the matter?" ”

Cheng Yue said: "Quanzhou has a lot of trade with Arab, Persian, and East African countries, and there are more than 30,000 foreigners living in Quanzhou, and most of those places believe in Islam, so there are many mosques built in the local area. Originally, there was nothing to do, as long as we were at peace with each other, I did not object to their beliefs. However, because Pu Shougeng was in power in Quanzhou, some mosques and foreigners were extremely arrogant, and they had repeatedly injured the vendors who sold pork and liquor, and also smashed restaurants and inns, and forbade them to sell pork and wine. ”

"I've always been disgusted with this matter, but I didn't personally control the government before, and I had to rely on Pu Shougeng to build a ship for me, so I couldn't bear it, and I wanted to see if he could correct it himself. Who knew that after Pu Shougeng visited me, some Muslims in Quanzhou, mainly the Sunni sect to which Pu Shougeng belonged, not only did not relent, but intensified. They probably think that Pu Shougeng has gained my trust and has been introduced by me as a confidant, and their status should be higher than before, so they are engaged in Islamization in Quanzhou, except for the people I sent, they dare not provoke, even the officials of the imperial court can only act according to orders, and even want to ban Buddhist temples. ”

"The Southern Shaolin in Quanzhou is a famous temple in the world, and the warrior monks in it are very skillful, and they have always been feared by those mosques. There are some extreme Muslims in Quanzhou, taking advantage of the opportunity of my suppression of Buddhism, to rise up, often picking quarrels and provoking trouble, obstructing the people from visiting the temple, and trying to crush the southern Shaolin temple. As long as South Shaolin falls, other Buddhist temples cannot be saved, and Quanzhou will become the world of Islam. ”

"The local people of the Yang Ting faction have been sending me all kinds of reports for a long time, and there are hundreds of them, and the people of Quanzhou are unbearable. In addition, Pu Shougeng illegally occupied a large amount of land in Quanzhou and its surroundings, which led to the Yongchun famine but did not repent, and the people of Quanzhou complained and complained about my reuse of Pu Shougeng. ”

"I wanted to deal with the affairs of Fujian after I came back from Japan, but Pu Shougeng jumped out at this time and refused to hand over the army! In that case, the matter cannot be delayed. I won't be able to return soon when I go to Japan, and if others see Pu Shougeng prevaricating to me, they won't be held accountable, and after I leave, how can the reform be carried out smoothly? This matter has affected the morale of the people, I have made up my mind to go to Quanzhou in person, one is to severely punish Pu Shougeng's crimes, the second is to appease the hearts of the people of Quanzhou, and the third is to meet a few important people, bring back some soldiers and horses, Quanzhou can not let Pu Shougeng mess around! ”

Wan Ze said worriedly: "Now that the matter of changing the law is so busy, can Xianggong squeeze out time?" It's better to send a few important ministers to deal with it. ”

Cheng Yue shook his head and said: "I have my plan, how do I clean up Pu Shougeng, others can't do it, if Pu Shougeng intends to make trouble, I can hold it down more in Quanzhou." Besides, Pu Shougeng never imagined that I would personally go to Quanzhou to deal with him, which is a miracle effect. As for the time, these days are a little busy, and after a while, it won't be like now, with Dingniang, Lilac and so many ministers, I don't need to worry too much. I still have a lot of days to go on in the future, so I have to trust them a lot. (To be continued......)
