Wu Qian's second task was to make a decision on the punishment of the Xiangyang Rebellion.

Zhao Fan, the ambassador of the pacification system of Jinghu and the governor of Xiangyang Prefecture, was demoted to three levels in a row as the main person responsible for the rebellion, and was demoted to the head of the soldiers and horses of the Fujian Road and the governor of Quanzhou. Li Hu, the commander of Zhenjiang, did not know the urgency, and the contradictions between the army and the Northern Army intensified, and he was also demoted three levels in a row and sent to Jingjiang Mansion on Guangnan West Road to think about it behind closed doors.

The Jing'e army was under the command of Wang Min, and there was no way to guide the army to mutiny, and almost lost Xiangyang City.

The rest of the generals of the Northern Army, Li Boyuan, Huang Guobi, and Xia Quan (this Xia Quan has the same name as Xia Quan of De'an Mansion) sat back and could not be saved, as well as the generals of the Southern Army, Wang Fu and Yang Maoxian, all of whom were reduced to the rank of military attaché by two ranks, and were left to be guilty of meritorious service in the army.

Of course, it is impossible for the imperial court to punish these people too severely, once the more than 20 northern armies are provoked to mutiny, the situation will not only be controlled by losing the city of Xiangyang.

On the question of who to let serve as the marshal of Xiangyang, the imperial court was hesitant for a while. At the moment, the most suitable candidates were naturally the deputy envoy of Jiangling, or Meng Hui, the head of the guard Ma Junsi in Huangzhou, but both of them were guarding the key places and transferring them lightly, and problems might arise when the Mongols invaded for the second time in the autumn.

At this time, Cui Hehe, the newly promoted governor of the political council, proposed a plan: Zhao Kui, the envoy of the Huaidong system, was transferred to the Jinghu pacification envoy to take over his brother's position.

Speaking of which, Zhao Kui and his eldest brother Zhao Fan were also first-rate generals of the Great Song Dynasty who grew up in the battle of Xiangfan, and their familiarity with Jinghu was no less than that of his brother. Their family is a Jiangmen of the times, and they are well-known in the Jinghu area, so they are naturally the best choice compared to Bei Zhijie or Meng Heng.

However, some people soon raised objections, believing that Zhao Fan had just made a big mistake and promoted his younger brother to be the commander of Jinghu, which inevitably made the local generals think that the imperial court had handled it unfairly.

Zheng Qingzhi, the left prime minister of the political affairs hall, did not say a word at this time, Zhao Fan and Zhao Kui were all on his side according to the political position, and if he spoke out at this time, he would only leave an excuse for the political opponent to attack.

What really moved the emperor was Zhen Dexiu, who was already terminally ill.

At this time, Zhen Dexiu couldn't get up, and completely resigned from the post of secretary of the household department and the governor of the political affairs to recuperate at home, and his life had reached the point of running out of oil and drying up. But when he heard the news of the Xiangyang Rebellion, he immediately supported his sick body and wrote three letters to his protégé Zheng Yunming in a row, encouraging him to serve the country bravely and quell the chaos for the country.

He also wrote a note to the emperor, strongly requesting that Zhao Kui replace the eldest brother who committed the crime and continue to preside over the overall situation of Jinghu.

"Those who sin their sins should show the power of the Son of Heaven and the virtuous sages to show the virtue of the king. The Holy Lord is benevolent, there are trade-offs, from the story of Zong Rulin, then Jinghu Yi'an"

Looking at the weak handwriting on the song, Emperor Duanping almost shed tears, once upon a time Zhen Dexiu's calligraphy enjoyed a good reputation in the world, the pen was strong, and the turn was as powerful as a carving knife, and now even holding the brush well is about to be done.

This is the last building he is doing for the emperor with his life.

The emperor finally made up his mind and personally issued an edict to remove Zhao Kui from the post of ambassador to pacify Jinghu, and let him succeed his eldest brother to continue to manage the military and political affairs of Jinghu.

This edict, the court up and down a voice of praise, some people said that the emperor's edict can be compared to the beauty of the ancient, Shun killed the example of Yu to control the water, its virtue is enough to be as famous as Yao Shun Shengjun, completely ignoring the history of Yu who later got Yao's country, and the son named the right history.

Of course, Emperor Duanping will not be angry because of this black history, "Derby Three Generations" is the ultimate dream of every Chinese emperor, and the emperor is already very satisfied with being able to imitate Emperor Shun's behavior a little.

And after Wu Qian promulgated this edict, Jinghu was also greatly relieved, everyone knew that Xiao Zhao was no less than the old Zhao system and the big Zhao system of the famous general, when he used tricks to break Li Quan under the city of Yangzhou, even the Mongolian Xuancha praised him as a rare person in the world who could fight. What's more, the father and son of the Zhao family are well-known in Jinghu, and even the soldiers of the Northern Army are afraid of them. Getting such a person as Xiao Zhao to take charge of Jinghu was also unloaded.

Before Zhao Kui took office, the Jinghu Governor's Office and the Jing'e Deputy Metropolitan Department were temporarily in charge of Xiangfan's military and political affairs. The affairs of the entire Jinghu were temporarily handed over to the Gangneung side.

The next day, the wharf of Hanshui was full of people, on the one hand, Zhang Weixiao, the leader of the Dongting fishermen, and his son Zhang Weixiao led the Dongting fleet to leave Xiangyang and return to their hometown. On the one hand, Wan Wensheng, the commander of Chizhou, sent Zhang Wanrong, the commander, to lead 100 warships and 1,000 soldiers to arrive.

Zheng Yunming and Liu Tingmei came to the dock to see off Zhang Yu and his son. He said to Zhang Weixiao: "The eldest husband should leave a name in history, and he can't always waste his time, how about it, how about serving in our army?" ”

Zhang Weixiao rolled his eyes and said coldly: "The imperial court is ruthless, even if Zhao Zhizhi has fought for the country for more than 20 years, has been born and died hundreds of times, and has been promoted to the commander of Jinghu?" Once he made a mistake, he was immediately relegated to a land of poor mountains and bad waters, who was willing to serve him in such a ungrateful court? ”

What he said was unfortunate, and when he was talking, Zhao Fan walked towards the dock with a few servants.

Today is also the day he went to Fujian to take up his post.

At this time, Zhao Fan changed into a prison uniform by himself, and only brought a few of his closest relatives with him, which was even more desolate and desolate compared with the grand scene of the generals going out on patrol and hugging each other in the past.

Zheng Yunming stepped forward and bowed his hand and said: "The land of Fujian is far away from the mountains and dangerous roads, so you must take care of your body and be more careful all the way. ”

"I can't do it." Zhao Fan's eyes have completely lost their brilliance, at this time he is just a soulless old man, a soulless shell: "The younger brother is about to go to Xiangyang to take up his post, the officials see the old man's acquaintance over the past year, and assist the younger brother to protect the people of Jinghu, and the old man will pray for the officials every day in remote places." ”

Zheng Yunming frowned, and said: "You don't need to say these words, how can there be no twists and turns in a hundred years of life, and if you go to Fujian this time, you may not have no meritorious service to atone for your crimes, and then add up to the blue eyes of the imperial court." ”

"What can I do in Fujian?" Zhao Fan smiled miserably: "Do you want to go out with the ship to fight pirates?" Without further ado, if the official still sells me Zhao Fan a face, I have one thing to ask for. ”

He turned around and said, "Mr. Luo, come forward." ”

Luo Jian stepped forward with his burden on his back and gave a deep salute to Zheng Yunming.

Zhao Fan said: "As soon as I step down, Mr. Luo can't stay in the shogunate anymore. He has been in Jinghu for several years, and he is very familiar with the situation in Jinghu, and he is meticulous in his writing, good at handling civil lawsuits, and has quick wit, and can often explain people's difficulties in a few words. I want the officials to give it to him in their own shogunate."

"I'm afraid that Mr. Luo himself won't do it." Zheng Yunming said: "The guest and the host have been kind for several years, how can they give up once they give up? Mr. Luo, if you are asked to go to Fujian with the envoy and continue to plan for the staff of the envoy, will you be willing? ”

Luo Jian arched his hand and said proudly: "As long as the envoy does not dislike it, Luo Jian is willing to follow the envoy to the ends of the earth and die without complaint!" ”

Zhao Fan hurriedly waved his hand: "Minyue is a land full of barbarians, miasma is rampant, why does Mr. need to go with me to endure hardships?" ”

"No, let Mr. Luo go over, it's to help the system do a great job over there." Zheng Yunming said in a low voice: "Please take a step forward to speak with Mr. He." ”

Zhao Luo and the two glanced at each other, what is this official doing?

Zheng Yunming pulled the two of them to a secluded place, and whispered Bai Yijie's plan to pass through the Nanyang to the two of them.

He said in a low voice: "If the country wants to plot against Nanyang, it must take the three coastal roads as a base, among which the East Zhejiang Road should be concerned about the safety of the Beijing Division, and it should not be used as a base for the southern expedition." Guangdong Road is far away from Lin'an, and the road is dangerous and difficult, so it is difficult to form a decent expeditionary force. Only along the way to Fujian, the fishermen are long in ocean navigation, and fierce and aggressive, grain can be transported south from the east of Zhejiang, and the local is proficient in ship manufacturing, which is the most ideal base for the Nanyang strategy. ”

Zheng Yunming took out a scroll of drawings from the sleeve of his robe: "This is the pattern of the Western Mulan boat, which is enough to carry hundreds of people, cross the ocean by the wind, and go straight to the South China Sea." Compared with the ships of Middle-earth, the biggest advantage of the Mulan Boat is that it is sturdy and durable, and can be used as a transport ship and can be used as a warship to compete with the enemy at sea. The system was brought to Fujian, and craftsmen were found to imitate it, and it will be of great use after a long time. ”

Zhao Fan's eyes lit up, and he reached out and took the pattern. If it had been a year ago, he wouldn't have listened to half a sentence of what Zheng Yunming said, but Zheng Yunming has proved his magic several times in the past year, and even Zhao Fan has to believe that the occasional whimsy of this prime minister's son is not casual nonsense with sexuality, but a down-to-earth technology that can be turned into a real thing.

He muttered: "This plan is too large, the ministers of the government hall have always made it a priority to rest the troops in the border areas, and the country is now facing a great enemy, and it is exhausted to deal with the Mongol raids every year, and I am afraid that I will not be able to spare my hands to carry out such an ambitious plan again." ”

"Well," Zheng Yunming said, "the key to this plan is to bypass the Privy Council and the government hall as much as possible. Let's make preparations first, wait for a qiē to be ready, and then use the form shì to force the political hall to make a choice. It's the only way to do it right now. ”

Generally, border generals also follow this path, and the court knows it in their hearts. Therefore, when there is an accident at the border, the border general is the object of suspicion first. But Zheng Yunming's plan is beyond the cognitive range of the previous imperial courts, and if it is really likely to succeed, Zhao Fan will probably not be within the scope of suspicion.
