"Just what?" Ye Yingwu frowned, no matter what he thought of Su Liuyi in his heart, Ye Yingwu did not allow one of his subordinates to question another subordinate, not to mention that Lu Xiufu was a civil official and Su Liuyi was a military attaché, civil and military discord was already an old tradition that lasted for more than 300 years in the Song Dynasty, although there was Ye Yingwu's deliberate suppression in the Tianwu Army, but it was not nothing, so what Ye Yingwu was most worried about was that these two systems were-for-tat, fighting for power and profit, and in the end nothing happened.

When I think about World War II in later generations, the navy and army of small Japan were always at the tip of the needle, and no one was convinced, and the result was that the country was overwhelmed and defeated. Ye Yingwu didn't dare to forget such a lesson, and he didn't want to play it out on his body, and he couldn't be as good as Hirohito's old thing.

As if sensing Ye Yingwu's dissatisfaction, Lu Xiufu hurriedly said: "It's just that the imperial court didn't say who would supply the food and salary of this town navy??????"

"Huh?" Ye Yingwu was stunned, originally the food and salary of the soldiers stationed in Zhenjiangtun were the responsibility of the state capitals of the two Zhejiang, but now this Zhenjiang Navy really doesn't plan to be taken care of by the imperial court, "It should still be according to common sense, this is just a change of name, in fact, it is still a garrison of Zhenjiangtun." ”

Guo Chang, who was walking on the other side of Ye Yingwu, smiled helplessly: "But the envoy, if the food and salary are supplied by the various state capitals of the two Zhejiang, wouldn't it be handed over to Jia Rudao the lifeblood of the town navy." ”

Taking a breath of cool air gently, Ye Yingwu suddenly stopped, what Guo Chang said was not bad, but this time he ignored this, glanced at Guo Chang with appreciation, and still talked directly to this guy, Lu Xiufu didn't express it clearly after all.

"You mean, it's supplied by Jiangnan West Road?" Ye Yingwu frowned slightly.

At this time, Jiangnan West Road was equivalent to about four-fifths of the territory of Jiangxi Province in later generations, and only the Nankang Army in the northeast corner belonged to Jiangnan East Road. And it is relying on such a small piece of land, but every year to supply 2 million stones of grain and grass to all parts of the imperial court, and at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty has a total of only 6 million stones of grain and grass that can be used throughout the year, and Jiangnan West Road accounts for one-third, and at this time, the Southern Song Dynasty can rely on the Sichuan Shu, Xiangyang and Xingzhou Tianwu Army, in fact, the grain and grass are supplied by Jiangnan West Road.

Although Jinghu and other places were reclaimed by Yue Fei back then, after all, because of several wars, it was already thankful that he could supply a part of the Xiangyang army. At this time, although Jiangnan, Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Pingjiangfu, Huzhou and other places were also water towns and rich places in the south of the Yangtze River, but because of the economic development of the Southern Song Dynasty, the cultivation of grain in these places has been reduced to a secondary level, and the main thing has become maintained through business and trade.

As for Fuguang, although it is not as remote as it used to be, in addition to important ports such as Quanzhou, it is still mostly poor and remote, which is why the Southern Song Dynasty has not set foot in the overseas island of Piroye, and it is beyond the reach of the whip.

A town navy is under the nose of the imperial court, so the number of people will not exceed 20,000, and for Jiangnan West Road, it is more than enough to supply such a strong journey. But this also means that the expansion of the Tianwu Army will be hindered to a certain extent.

Whether he should give up the next expansion of the Tianwu Army for the sake of the navy is the most tangled thing for Ye Yingwu. Sensing Ye Yingwu's inner hesitation, Lu Xiufu and Guo Chang glanced at each other, the two of them have cooperated these days, and they already have some tacit understanding, and at the moment Lu Xiufu said softly: "Envoy, this matter is imminent, and it needs to be decided quickly." ”

Ye Yingwu smiled bitterly, in fact, in the entire Zhenjiang Mansion, except for Lu Xiufu and Guo Chang, he really didn't have any negotiable candidates, he knew that he wouldn't let Li Si go, with Li Si here, at least he didn't need to bother so much.

These intrigues are not as refreshing as they are on the battlefield.

"Envoy, when you should gamble, you can't hesitate." Lu Xiufu then added, the new one looked at Ye Yingwu, he believed that this young man would definitely make the most correct judgment, because the facts have been proven again and again.

Ye Yingwu nodded slowly: "That's fine, but there are still a few changes we need to make in the original decision." Since you want to control the town navy in your hands, you also need to put in some effort. It is still far from enough to rely on these abolished Zhenjiang garrison soldiers. ”

"What do you mean?" Guo Chang asked tentatively, and he didn't know that the three of them had already walked into the lobby, and a map of Jiangnan was hanging behind the main seat.

Stretched out his hand and knocked the Zhenjiang Mansion, Ye Yingwu smiled and said: "The right wing of the Tianwu Army, this time there is no need to go back, as for the commander of the right wing of the Tianwu Army, it is still General Zhang Shun, but it seems that this name needs to be changed, and the Zhenjun Navy is also suitable." ”

"The envoy wants to use the right wing of the Tianwu Army as the backbone?"

Ye Yingwu nodded: "The elites selected from the right wing of the Tianwu Army and the Zhenjiang Tun garrison have been scattered and mixed, and everything has been trained from scratch, with the old leading the new." Then the commander of the four compartments of the town navy is naturally General Su, which can be regarded as compensating for his sacrifice that day, and the four compartments are waiting for Zhang Shun, Zhang Shun is loyal to a certain person, and he is quite talented, so he can be entrusted with important tasks. ”

Lu Xiufu and Guo Chang both stood solemnly, this is undoubtedly the best way, but the right wing of the Tianwu Army is gone, does it also need to be rebuilt?

"After all, the affairs of the Tianwu Army are our own affairs, let's discuss these when we go back to Xingzhou, and the most important thing now is Zhenjiang Mansion." Ye Yingwu found that Lu Xiufu and Guo Chang's eyes had shifted to Xingzhou, and couldn't help but open his mouth to interrupt the thoughts of the two of them, "Zhao Wenyi, the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture, is a certain prefect, although it seems that he has changed from a prefect all the way to an ordinary prefect, but he is not derogatory to Zhao Wenyi, which can be regarded as releasing him from the shadow of his father and the ministers." ”

"But Zhao Wenyi didn't explicitly want to support the envoy." Guo Chang looked at Ye Yingwu in confusion, "Could it be that the envoy wants to win him over, but with such a crucial position as the prefect of Zhenjiang Mansion, is it a bit of a small loss?" ”

Ye Yingwu shook his head: "With the command of the Zhenjiang garrison and the commander of the four compartments of the Zhenjiang Navy, what can a prefect of Zhenjiang Mansion be worth, if Zhao Wenyi is not pleasing to the eye, he can still be driven away, but if he runs Zhenjiang Mansion well, he can naturally accept it as his own, he still understands this reason, and I hope he knows each other." ”

Seeing Ye Yingwu so persistent, Lu Xiufu and Guo Chang, who originally wanted to oppose Zhao Wenyi, didn't say anything more, after all, they are people who have experienced a lot of decisions, and they also know that the envoy has already opened his mouth to speak in this tone, which is beyond doubt.

"As for the general judgment of Zhenjiang Mansion, Lu Chuanyan is impossible," Ye Yingwu turned to look at Lu Xiufu, although he usually shouted "Brother Junshi" cordially, it was also because of his respect for Lu Xiufu, but for Lu Chuanyan who had betrayed him, he didn't have such a good tone, "Such a person is placed in the position of Zhenjiang Mansion's general judgment, naturally everyone is not convinced, even if he doesn't consider anything else, he needs to give an explanation to many generals and officials of the Tianwu Army and those Tianwu Army soldiers who died in Zhenjiang Mansion." ”

Ye Yingwu was already very nervous when he said this, obviously thinking of those sons and daughters who died in vain under the black hands of the Lu family, and it was very heartbroken. And Lu Xiufu knew that Ye Yingwu's words were equivalent to cutting off the possibility of the Lu family being out of the ranks except himself, but in fact, this was not a means of self-preservation.

For the Zhenjiang Lu family, the most outstanding Lu Xiufu in the family, as the general judge of Xingzhou, can be said to be the leader of the staff of the Tianwu Army, a group of civil and military officials and Chinese officials, and in the Tianwu Army, he can be counted below one person and above ten thousand people. What's more, the little lady of the Lu family is still Ye Yingwu's wife soon after, even if no one else in the Lu family makes a difference, it will not prevent Feihuang from soaring.

As long as Ye Yingwu and Tianwu Jun rise step by step, the Lu family will also rise with it.

As long as Ye Yingwu can still call for wind and rain, the Lu family will be able to keep his wealth and wealth.

This is a little bit of truth Lu Xiufu is naturally like a mirror, so Ye Yingwu's rejection of Lu Chuanyan is also acceptable to him and the Lu family in Zhenjiang: "Listen to the envoy's orders, I don't know who the envoy thinks is talented and virtuous to take on such a heavy responsibility." ”

Ye Yingwu didn't speak, but looked at Guo Chang.

Guo Chang thought that Ye Yingwu wanted to ask himself, so he shook his head at the moment: "The name of making Jun appreciate talents is known to the world, how dare his subordinates show ugliness in front of him, not to mention that his subordinates really don't have any ideas, and please forgive him." ”

Ye Yingwu only smiled slightly. Guo Chang realized that something was not right, suddenly came to his senses, stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and looked at Ye Yingwu in disbelief: "Make your ?????? It's subordinates who won't say it, right?! ”

"Why can't it be you?" Ye Yingwu laughed, "This Zhenjiang Mansion has a heavy responsibility, so I will hand it over to you kid, what's the matter, you want to strike?" ”

Guo Chang fell into a dream, this is a pie in the sky, and it also means that he will have to bear a heavier burden. I thought that not long ago, I was just a gentleman who bullied men and women in Longxing Mansion with his father's prestige, but I didn't expect that now he can serve as the general judge of the government, which is a position that is even higher than Lu Xiufu next to him.

"But?????? But the subordinates are really young. Guo Chang immediately looked at Ye Yingwu with a bitter face, he was telling the truth, his partner Zhao Wenyi was already a middle-aged person, although Su Liuyi was thirty years old, he was also a battle-hardened general, and he was caught between these two people, this general sentence is not easy to do.

The smile on Ye Yingwu's face froze, and was replaced by disdain: "A certain is only twenty years old now, he has been crowned for less than a year, and he has already known Xingzhou after a few months of hard work, as the commander of the Tianwu Army, and he has just been promoted to the deputy envoy of the system along the river, and you are also nineteen or twenty people, is it not good to do a general judgment?" ”

A cold sweat has broken out on Guo Chang's forehead, big brother, don't make trouble, okay, where can the younger brother compare with you, you played me stunned in Longxing Mansion at the beginning, and even the old father, who has always been cunning and cunning, was deceived by you, not to mention the little brother, you have so much ability, but I am just a gentleman, where can I have such great ability.

It's just that Guo Chang is not stupid at this time, so naturally he won't refuse directly, and he can only weakly agree in desperation.

"Zhenjiang Mansion is probably these things," Ye Yingwu sat down, "You guys should rest first, I want to be alone." ”

Lu Xiufu and Guo Chang had a lot of thoughts in their hearts at this time, and when they saw that Ye Yingwu didn't say anything anymore, they naturally hurriedly retreated. Guo Chang is of course bitter, and Lu Xiufu has no smile, but compared with Guo Chang, it is much better.

It wasn't until he went out and walked away that Lu Xiufu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the young man next to him: "Xusheng (Guo Chang's word) Congratulations, this Zhenjiang Mansion has a general judgment and a heavy responsibility, which shows the king's expectation for Xusheng." ”

"Brother Junshi, don't make fun of me, I have a few pounds and a few taels, don't Brother Junshi know, don't talk about it here." Guo Chang said helplessly, although if he becomes the general judge of Zhenjiang Mansion, he will actually be one level higher than Lu Xiufu, the general judge of Xingzhou, but this does not mean that Guo Chang will not take Lu Xiufu in his eyes.

After all, in the eyes of all civil and military officials from the Tianwu Army, Xing** and later Xingzhou are the foundation of the entire Tianwu Army, so the general judgment of Xingzhou cannot be treated the same as that of other places, which must be the only person who can be absolutely trusted and relied on by Jun. What's more, Lu Xiufu's talent is already known to everyone, and Guo Chang respects Lu Xiufu very much on weekdays.

Lu Xiufu looked at Guo Chang meaningfully: "Xusheng, you still don't understand." ”

"Don't get it?" Guo Chang suddenly had some doubts, as the general judge of Zhenjiang Mansion, what is there to understand.

With a light smile, Lu Xiufu led Guo Chang to a corner: "The envoy asked you to be the general judge of Zhenjiang Mansion, but it is not just a simple general judgment. You know that although the envoy is the governor of Xingzhou, but in fact, the affairs of Xingzhou have always been managed by Yu Zai, and you are different, Zhao Wenyi has lived in the prefect of Longxing Mansion for many years, and he is quite capable, you just need to supervise him well, and watching him not fall to Jia Yidao is a great achievement, which is much easier than the general judgment of Xingzhou, not to mention that the envoy is very confident in General Su, that is to say, even if you can't suppress Zhao Wenyi, there is a town navy behind you to support you. ”

Guo Chang took a breath lightly, maybe it was too much time to see Lu Xiufu's name as Tongju actually Zhizhou, in the subconscious of most Tianwu Army officials, Tongju and Zhizhou are actually no different, but in fact, the real task of Tongju is to supervise the prefect, and sign the name on some of the prefect's decrees, compared to the prefect, in fact, the burden of Tongju is much lighter.

"Actually, what's more important," Lu Xiufu's expression was even more solemn, "The six gates in Jiangnan have suffered a lot of losses this time, and even the Jinyi guards in the area of Zhenjiang Mansion have been uprooted, so the matter of rebuilding the six gates in Jiangnan is already going to be handed over to you, so that Commander Yang Lao can have more energy to deal with the Imperial City Division in the area of Pingjiang Mansion." ”

Guo Chang sighed instead: "This is the junior brother's job, so it seems to be the most relaxed." ”

Lu Xiufu shook his head: "Don't think that things will be easy, I already feel very clearly in my heart that if you fight in Xiangyang, if you lose, all these efforts will be in vain, but if you win, one mountain will not tolerate two tigers, Jia Rudao will attack the envoy, and the envoy will naturally return to Jiangnan." And Zhenjiang Mansion is an important town along the Yangtze River in the south of the Yangtze River, not only facing Lin'an in the south, but also facing Yangzhou in the north, and even the Mongolian Tatars in the north. ”

Hearing Lu Xiufu's explanation, Guo Chang's smile also disappeared, and he shook his head helplessly: "You are really afraid of being entrusted with such trust for a certain person." ”

patting Guo Chang on the shoulder, Lu Xiufu walked forward with his hands in his hands: "Since the envoy dares to hand over this burden to you, he naturally has his reasons, and doing what you should do is the best way for you to prove yourself to the envoy, don't be disappointed." ”

Looking at Lu Xiufu's departing figure, Guo Chang opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything.
