The Xuanhui Yuan was set up in the late Tang Dynasty, divided into two courts, south and north, with eunuchs as the chief and deputy envoys, but there was no fixed position. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info to the fifth generation of more than the prosecutor as a prosecutor, or concurrently the head of the town, or also the Privy Council. The seniority of the South Court is higher than that of the North Court, and the two make the common court jointly printed, and only the signing room is set up. He is in charge of the palace divisions and the three classes of attendants, suburbs, court meetings, banquets, and ceremonies for feasting, and all internal and external offerings are inspected for their famous things.

There are four cases of soldiers, cavalry, warehouses, and guards, and the subordinate officials have all hooked officials as the right, and there are three officials; The hook officer is the deputy, and there are 12 officials. In addition, there are internal guest provincial envoys, and the envoys of the Zhangjie degree welcome and confer gifts and tributes, etc., and then there are foreign guest provincial envoys and pawns, which correspond to the Zhike and the Ya of the Jiezhen, and form a set of directly governed mechanisms with the local festival marshal.

The office of the Xuanhui Yuan is located in the southeast of Shangshu Province, sitting west and facing the east of the royal street, and the current Xuanhui South Yuan envoy is the right Xijing to stay in Wu Yanzuo, and the seniority can not be old. When the first emperor Guo Wei was in the capital of Ye, Wu Yanzuo was the general of the Tianxiong army, and since then he has been promoted to the north by the envoy of the inner treasury, the envoy of the guest province, and the envoy of the southern court, and has been in Tokyo for a long time, and is very familiar with the affairs inside and outside the palace.

The next day, Zhang Yue did not participate in the early dynasty, and took office early in the morning, and came to the Xuanhui Institute with Xuan Chongwen, Shi Deyuan, Liu Xinfa, and Sun Yanshou, four marshals, to receive yak sigils and other ceremonial guards, and he himself also wanted to understand the terms of reference of the new position.

Wu Yanzuo went to the court early, Zhang Yue first went to his north courtyard to inspect the hall, and found that most of the subordinate officials were military attachés, and several of them were old people brought out by Wu Yanzuo from the Tianxiong Army.

Zhang Yue is already very familiar with the use of the festival degree, although he did not receive it from Beijing, and handed over through the ceremony in the place, now under an order, the subordinate officials will quickly move out of a few large boxes of items that have been prepared for a long time, and then issue it and finish it.

After Xuan Chongwen and the four of them received it, they rode back to the post house, they had to prepare to move, the houses were ready-made, scattered near the Bianhe River, and few high-ranking officials lived in the outer city.

On the third pole of the day, Wu Yanzuo finally went down to the court to return to the government, Zhang Yue heard that he came out, stood on the steps of the palace and said with a smile: "Brother Qingzhi is back, let me wait!" ”

"Yuan Zhen brought his colleagues to run an errand, just send someone to inform you, you don't know that you have a hot errand now, so hurry up and get busy with the affairs of the forbidden army!" Yesterday, Jin Xiangdian gave a banquet, and Wu Yanzuo was also there, so he reminded him with good words.

"Huh! I'm not in a hurry at this time, the things on the forbidden army's side are okay, the logistics of the main southern expeditionary army is prepared and transported, how many troops are used, this must be carefully calculated, and then go to the Privy Council in the afternoon, and go to the third division tomorrow to visit Zhang Xuangui, finalize this first, and it will be easy to select troops. "Zhang Yue has ideas, and he is not in a hurry.

"That's good! Inside please! "Wu Yanzuo is a native of Taiyuan, Hedong, forty years old, tall, a little rich in Beijing for a long time, although he was born in a martial arts, but he is actually a literati. But Zhang Yue is an upstart, with great military achievements and high rank, so he said humbly.

"Brother Qing, why should you be too humble, since you lead the Southern Courtyard to be the master, Zhang Mou is not talented, just do it!" Although the Xuanhui Yuan envoy is also a high authority, Zhang Yuezhi is not here, and he has no heart to compete with Wu Yanzuo. This is officialdom, and there are certain underlying rules everywhere.

"Haha...... Where did Yuan Zhen say, he should give you a hand! Wu Yanzuo was a little embarrassed, and secretly sighed in his heart, the young martial artist is direct, and he doesn't seem to pay attention to those twists and turns.

The north and south two courtyards are one into two courtyards, the left is the north courtyard, the right is the south courtyard, and the back is the treasury. After entering the right compartment and sitting down, the subordinate officials took tea at the right time and retreated to bring the door, and only the two people before and after the case were left in the spacious public room.

Wu Yanzuo didn't know what else Zhang Yue was doing, so he picked up the teacup and signaled, smiling without saying a word. Zhang Yue said directly: "The first thing you need to understand is the major festival towns in Huainan that participated in the war, I don't know if they transfer grain from the jurisdiction of the town, or just use the camp logistics?" ”

"There is a judgment in the camp, do you know that there is a judgment in the three divisions? Of course, it was to use the grain and grass collected by the camp, and the town soldiers only carried some dry food when they went out on the expedition, and it was a matter of the camp when they went to the front. Wu Yanzuo replied.

"It is Zhang Xuangui in the third division, so Li Chongjin is only responsible for the battle, and now Zhang Xuangui is returning to Beijing with His Majesty, Huainan is in a state of armistice, who is in charge of the garrison logistics?"

"The army will be disbanded when it returns to the DPRK, and the garrison will be stationed in Xinzhou County, and Zhang Yongde is also on his way back to Beijing, and he will arrive in Beijing soon." Wu Yanzuo knew more, so he explained.

Now Zhang Yue finally understands that he is treating others with himself, and the waterfall sweat in his heart! The commander of the Southern Expedition is actually Guo Rong himself, and did not grant the commanders of Huainan towns the right to act cheaply and fight independently, no wonder as soon as the forbidden army returned to Beijing, there was no movement on the Huainan battlefield, and the long-term siege of Shouzhou, I don't know who came up with the idea.

I also know that the soldiers of other towns and towns are not as obedient and disciplined as their own soldiers, and if the emperor authorizes them, God knows what those soldiers will do. Therefore, the marshal of the Southern Expedition actually has no right to speak.

This can also be seen Guo Rong's trust in himself, the previous words, the emperor didn't know how to feel after hearing it, the commander of the Southern Expedition and the generals of the forbidden army must be very unhappy. But there is one point, the forbidden army's ability to attack fortifications is too poor, and the discipline is not good, as we know from the attack on Taiyuan City during the Battle of Gaoping. In the previous war, except for Li Chongjin's breakthrough of Liu Yanzhen's department in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the rest were really lackluster.

Next, there are Haozhou, Luzhou, Chuzhou, Yangzhou several fortified cities, a city to fight in the past is naturally not good, it is best to find an opportunity to fight, or lure the enemy out of the city to ambush, try to avoid attacking, but trebuchets and other equipment Huainan battlefield also has light, but not a lot, it seems to increase the preparation, as well as ladders, rushing cars, etc.

Although he didn't know if Guo Rong planned to lead his troops to the south, Zhang Yue still visited and investigated everything in detail, learned about the successive battles since the winter of the second year of Xiande, as well as the logistics and transportation methods, and planned to make a comprehensive plan and come up with a new combat plan.

Because of the earlier battle with the Southern Tang Dynasty without a naval division repeatedly frustrated, in April after Guo Rong returned to Beijing, he ordered Shu lieutenant general, the right Xiaowei general Wang Huan to build a wharf and a shipbuilding workshop at the head of the Xingguo Temple bridge in the Bianhe River, excavate and expand the Jinming Pond, so that the 30th command of the Huaide Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty brought back to train day and night, and expanded the number of soldiers to form a naval division, in preparation for the end of the year to conquer Huainan.

After Zhang Yue learned about it, he went to Jinmingchi to inspect, the sailor has been trained to 20,000 people, and more than 200 Xuanlong ships and Xuanjiao ships are still being built. Among them, the Xuanlong ship is a large ship of thousands of materials, that is, a load of 1,000 stones, and there are more than 50 ships, which have begun to take shape. The Xuanjiao ship is 600 materials, which is mainly used for troop transport.

After Zhang Yue inspected, he immediately entered the palace to ask for a meeting, and asked him to install the medium and light torque stone machines on the warship, especially the Xuanlong ship, which can be equipped with three medium-sized stone machines in the bow, and two light trebuchets on the decks on the second and third floors, with these long-range weapons, the power will be greatly increased. In addition, a large number of horn bows and crossbows can also be prepared, wooden single crossbows, and a slap rod is also installed to prevent enemy ships and jumping gangs.

The Xuanjiao ship can also be equipped with several stone machines depending on the use, but the establishment of soldiers, training, Zhang Yue just understood the mention and did not ask too much, and spent a few days in a row to understand all kinds of affairs clearly, and personally entered the palace to hand over a chapter about the Huainan war.

Guo Rong read it at that time and asked a lot of detailed questions, but he didn't say anything. In addition to the daily duty of the forbidden army, those who usually live in the suburbs of Beijing have gone home, and there is no conscription order issued, Zhang Yue can't take care of any forbidden army affairs, and he goes back to Xuanhui Courtyard every day to stay for half a day, and stays at home in the afternoon to accompany the women and children, which is a bit of a wasted time.
