Chapter 424: Where are the cronies?

When crossing the boundary of Fuzhou Taishou, Hao Ren assigned Li Zongke to command 30 large and small sea ships, deviated from the coastline of the inland sea, sailed eastward, and entered the large and small Ryukyu islands for military reclamation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"I'd rather sleep outside, don't harass the people on the island, I'd rather go hungry than plunder on the island, and I'll let the Fuzhou Taishou Mansion send it to you when it comes to military needs!" Hao Ren repeatedly admonished Li Zongke of Tunken.

Li Zongke was very confused, he didn't know what the difference between Ryukyu and Annan was, and he didn't know what mistakes he had made, and he was sent to a wild place by Hao Renfa. Perhaps, Hao Ren had a lot of distrust of him from the beginning.

Since Hao Ren doesn't trust it, why should he let himself lead the troops and directly seize the military power.

With Hao Ren's current authority, there is nothing difficult to do.

Li Zongke didn't know that the garrison of troops in these places could provide shelter for the people who went out to sea to fish along the coast, and could also stifle the sudden survival of pirates, and become a maritime barrier to defend the Great Song Dynasty. This is the first independent action of the Anqing army led by Li Zongke, in a sense, his ability has been recognized enough by Hao Ren, his loyalty, but also affirmed by Hao Ren, since His Majesty ordered, there must be a certain truth in it, even if there is no harvest for ten years, Li Zongke also regarded this as a glorious and arduous task, gladly accepted the order, and the handsome army went to the big and small Ryukyus.

The naval fleet of the Great Song Dynasty did not delay on the way, the army went straight to the Yangtze River along the coastline, and arrived in Yangzhou by the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, Hao Ren and the Chinese army guarded the war horses and other shores, the naval fleet, returned to Chongming Prefecture to station, the infantry Chen Zhaoxian's troops were stationed in Yangzhou on the spot, Hao Ren led his own Chinese army guards, mixed with some of the baggage vehicles requisitioned in Yangzhou, took the smooth road to get rich, and went straight back to Luzhou.

At this time, it has been two years since Hao Ren's expedition to the south, as for what Jiankang City was built by Liu Bowen, whether there is the appearance of Jiankang City in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Hao Ren does not know, moving the capital to Jiankang, is what Hao Ren is looking forward to.

Hao Ren could have taken the Yangtze River into Chaohu Lake to return to the old capital, and then he could pass by Jiankang City and check the construction of Jiankang City, but the marching route was much longer and not as convenient as taking the road to get rich.

In two years, Luzhou, the capital of Baoqi, has been piled up like a hill of government affairs waiting to be sorted out, Shi Nai'an, the head of the cabinet, is too strong, and even a little scoundrel, under the appearance of going to Confucianism and cultivation, the heart is locked up with a flood beast, and if you are not careful, you will come out to harm others and yourself, just like the murderous rivers and lakes when he was a teenager.

If it is said that the cabinet members have the ability to take charge of themselves, Liao Yongan is the first, he is at the right age, has both cultural relics, and is fair, but Liao Yongan has stayed in the rear many times, and it is easy to dominate and difficult to control.

The number two person is Yu Que. However, Yu Que is an old minister of Mengyuan, and he always pretends to be loyal to Mengyuan in his bones, although he is full of ability, and he is married to Hao Ren, Hao Ren does not dare to let go and boldly use it, so he can only go out to Fusang to continue to investigate.

The third person is Yu Tongyuan. However, Yu Tongyuan's identity is not convenient to serve as a stay-at-home, even if the Yu family's nephews are loyal, it is difficult to get the convincing of the Han people, Yu Tongyuan serves as the first assistant of the cabinet, which is about equivalent to the restoration of Mengyuan, and the leftists headed by Shi Nai'an must not be tolerated, Hao Ren has just left, and Yu Tongyuan's cabinet will be overthrown by force.

The fourth person who is in charge alone is Yao Guangxiao. Hao Ren has not dared to let go of his appointment, and after investigation in Fusang and Annam, he can only ascend to the position of No. 4 at this time.

As for Mu Youcai, he is stingy, timid and afraid, and can only specialize in financial and business management, and it is difficult to take charge of himself. Liu Bowen is a strategist, more than strategic, but not courageous. Robben was just too young to be experienced.

And this prince teacher, Mr. Shi Nai'an, who has a loyalty of 100, naturally became the first choice to stay behind in this southern expedition, and his relationship with the privy envoy Zhang Poyu who was in charge was also a master-apprentice and comrade-in-arms, and there was no big problem in coordinating between civil and military.

There were already officials along the way, with an expedited 800 li, the news of Hao Ren's return to the division was sent to Luzhou, and the left-behind civil and military officers in Luzhou, under the leadership of Shi Nai'an, went out of Guo 30 miles to greet each other.

His Majesty played triumphantly and returned, it was the first joyful thing of the Great Song Dynasty, a civil and military, had already lined up to greet, the long pavilion thirty miles away from Luzhou City, the lanterns were colorful, the drums were noisy, the firecrackers were all firecracked, the artillery used to kill the enemy in the past was placed as a ritual weapon, and the earth-shattering salute was played for the first time.

And the guards of the Chinese army, beating the stirrups of the war horses with their weapons, sang in unison in the rhythmic percussion: "The three kingdom generals are brave, the first general Zhao Zilong, the front ...... of Changban Slope"

"Chen Shi Nai'an, handsome Luzhou civil and military, waiting for Your Majesty's holy drive!" In the triumphant song played by the drum music, Shi Nai'an bowed his hand, and twenty or thirty ministers of civil and military affairs, lined up behind Shi Nai'an, bowed their hands together.

"I have gone all the way to the south, whipping the enemies who refuse to submit, and you have defended Kyoto, so that I have a stable rear and can go on a long expedition, you have worked hard!" Hao Ren rolled the saddle and fell off the horse, supported Shi Nai'an, who was bowing, and said to a civil and military man.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven with the throne, the saddle horse is tired, the expedition to Hulu, the territory is expanded, the ministers enjoy the merits of Your Majesty, and stay in Beijing, why hard?" Shi Nai'an said modestly.

"Why didn't the crown prince and concubines come? There are a few other adults I stayed in Beijing, why haven't I seen them? Was he sent out on a business trip by the cabinet? ”

Hao Ren's kind eyes swept over the welcoming crowd, and many unfamiliar faces appeared in his field of vision, but the familiar faces that Zhang was looking forward to, but there was no mellow fragrance in the welcoming team, Hao Ren had an indescribable uneasiness in his heart, and subconsciously thought of it.

Two years, it is reasonable to submit new officials. The crown prince and the concubines are the relatives that Hao Ren wants to see the most, and the women and children are not convenient for hiking, so they are arranged to meet them fifteen miles away, which is understandable, but his two brothers Mu Youcai and Zhang Poyu, according to reason, should not be within the scope of the first wave of greeting.

The three cabinets in Beijing, Liu Bowen presided over the construction of the capital in Jiankang, not in Luzhou normal, although Mu Youcai presided over the Ministry of Industry, holding a huge wealth of the Great Song Dynasty in his hands, but the personnel power in his hands was slightly weaker, he was one of Hao Ren's most trusted cabinets, he had always stayed in Kyoto, rarely let go out of Beijing, and now he did not accompany Shi Nai'an to greet him, Hao Ren felt that something was wrong.

The privy Zhang Poyu left behind in Luzhou is Hao Ren's most trusted brother, Hao Ren returned to Beijing, it is estimated that he is eager to go out of the city eighty miles to greet him, and now he is not within the scope of the first wave of greeting, and the officers who came to pick up the remaining officers in the capital, none of them are Hao Ren's acquaintances, Hao Ren feels a feeling of going to earthquake.
