After Zhao Yun listened, his face flushed slightly, during this period of time, the affairs of the imperial court have gradually stabilized, Jingdong has also recovered, and the rebellion in various places has been calmed down, so he is a little relaxed, that Xie Mulin At the end of the year, a group of palace maids were selected into the palace, several of which were very beautiful and moving, so that now he has a little leisure, he will be nostalgic for these women, and even a little neglected in government affairs.

I didn't expect this kind of thing to be heard by Gao Huaiyuan, today Gao Huaiyuan proposed it to him in person, which made Zhao Yun a little embarrassed, and Gao Huaiyuan's words directly pointed to the favored eunuchs beside him, and pointed out that he wanted him to alienate this Xie Mulin, which made Zhao Yun a little unhappy, and felt that he was now the head of a country, and it was not too much to appoint some favored people, Gao Huaiyuan pointed directly at the eunuchs in his inner court, is it a bit too much?

As for the final confession, in fact, Zhao Yun also knows that since Gao Huaiyuan took the throne, he has offended Zheng Qingzhi and many other civil officials, when he was in Beijing, these people were afraid of Gao Huaiyuan's power, but they also stopped a little, I am afraid that as soon as Gao Huaiyuan leaves Beijing this time, it will not be long before someone will take this opportunity to attack him.

Zhao Yun coughed dryly and then whispered: Gao Aiqing's loyalty to me, I naturally know it, you don't have to worry about these things, take care, exterminate the Lizhou rebels as soon as possible and return to Beijing as soon as possible, with you by my side, I can rest assured!

Gao Huaiyuan said goodbye to Zhao Yun at this time, and after leaving the palace, he turned over and galloped towards Lin'an Wharf.

The wharf was crowded with civil and military officials who saw off Gao Huaiyuan, these people were Gao Huaiyuan's friends or subordinates, this time Gao Huaiyuan was far away from Beijing, and they naturally had to come to see him off in person to express their gratitude.

As soon as Gao Huaiyuan arrived at the wharf, he was surrounded by these people, and after Gao Huaiyuan had a good greeting with him, he boarded the big boat, and in the sound of the cannon, Gao Huaiyuan stood on the side of the board and beckoned, and the paddles of the big boat rotated, setting off surging waves, and slowly left the wharf, and sailed into the Grand Canal towards the Yangtze River.

This time, in order to rush to Lizhou as soon as possible, Gao Huaiyuan gave up the land operation, and directly called a few naval warships in front of the palace, and went up the Yangtze River along the waterway, so that the speed would be faster, and there would be less trouble along the way, otherwise he would be such a big official, and the local officials would have to entertain him well and express his heart, not to mention the cumbersome etiquette, and it would be delayed for a long time.

In order to hurry, Gao Huaiyuan did not stop in Yangzhou this time, this is not that he is not filial, but now Gao Jian, because of his son's relationship, he has also been promoted, after the victory of Gao Huaiyuan's Northern Expedition, Gao Jian not only did not suffer dethronement because of the impeachment of some people, but was promoted to the fourth grade Jinghu North Road Xuancheng Envoy, the right to know the prefect of Jiangling Mansion, took a big step forward, and rushed to Jinghu North Road to take office.

And Gao Jian finally reached the peak of his life because of this competitive son, and became a senior official in the Southern Song Dynasty, so that he has no regrets in his life.

Even Gao Huaiyuan's second brother Gao Huairen is now in the office, and went to Guanyun County in Jingdong to be a county lieutenant, fulfilling a wish of Gao Jian, and Gao Huairen has completely changed his mind since he has suffered enough, and changed his mind and returned to righteousness, first became a ship boss under Gao Huaiyuan, and later took over a fleet of not small sizes, when Gao Huaiyuan led the Northern Expedition, he also led a large number of fleets to transport various grains and armor to the Flying Tiger Army by water, and when Guanyun County was counterattacked by Li Quan's old department, He even personally led a group of people to attack the flank of Li Quan's old department and defeated Li Quan's old department, so he later became an official because of his merits and became a county lieutenant, and now he is very grateful to Gao Huaiyuan, and he is very attentive in Guanyun County, which makes Gao Huaiyuan finally let go of a heart.

Along the way, Gao Huaiyuan led the boat day and night, going up the Yangtze River, but in addition to supplementing food, he basically did not make any stops, saving a lot of trouble, only when he arrived in Chuzhou, he officially stopped the ship and docked, and led his escorts to board the Chuzhou wharf.

And when Gao Huaiyuan traveled here, he suddenly had a feeling of arriving home, looking at the soldiers and generals on the shore who lined up like clouds to greet him, Gao Huaiyuan was even more happy, although he did not review the soldiers and horses of the Chuzhou Metropolitan Division, but only with his experience in controlling troops all the year round, the current Chuzhou army has become much more refined than when he was still an official in Daye, and even to put it mildly, just by virtue of the momentum, he can almost catch up with the momentum of the soldiers and horses in front of the palace under his direct control.

And needless to say, this credit should naturally go to Meng Heng, the commander of the army.

Gao Huaiyuan waited for the boat to dock, and at the same time searched for his familiar figure with his eyes in the crowd at the dock, and sure enough, among the civil and military officials who greeted the team in the center, he immediately saw several familiar figures, so he couldn't help but smile.

Humble to see the cardinal! When Gao Huaiyuan just stepped off the springboard, these Chuzhou civil and military officials who came to greet him shouted together, and fell to the ground one after another.

Gao Huaiyuan walked a few steps, came to the front of everyone, picked up several officials led by them, and laughed loudly: Everyone, hurry up and excuse me, how dare I, Gao, accept such a big gift from you! It's really killing me!

For Gao Huaiyuan's arrival in Chuzhou, the officials of Chuzhou have already heard about it, and they have made preparations in advance, whether it is a civilian official or a military general, they dare not slack off, after all, Gao Huaiyuan's identity is now one of the few important ministers in the court, and whether their official hats can be worn steadily is a matter of Gao Huaiyuan's words, so everyone attaches great importance to welcoming Gao Huaiyuan's arrival this time.

The prefect of Chuzhou and the envoys of the North Jingxi Road were all present, and the important generals of the Chuzhou Metropolitan Department and the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Commander and the Deputy Commander also came to greet them, and their momentum was almost no less than that of welcoming the emperor in person, which shows the importance of the officials here to Gao Huaiyuan.

At the same time, the officials here also have a sincere sense of intimacy with Gao Huaiyuan, after all, Gao Huaiyuan's ancestral home is in Daye County, which is under the jurisdiction of Chuzhou, and Gao Huaiyuan was also an official in Daye back then, and his first time in the army was also in Chuzhou.

Gao Huaiyuan also returned to his hometown for the second time after leaving Beijing, so after arriving here, he was also very happy, and he greeted these officials one by one, without any pretensions, which made these officials feel even more comfortable.

And Gao Huaiyuan was most happy that several of his righteous brothers were also present this time, at least he would not feel sorry.

Since he arrived here, he had to accept the banquet of the local officials, because there were many officials, so it was inconvenient for Gao Huaiyuan to talk with Meng Heng, Huang Yan, and Yue Kun, so he had to enter the city of Chuzhou surrounded by everyone.

At the banquet in Chuzhou City, Gao Huaiyuan inquired in detail about the military and political affairs in the western part of Beijing, and the officials here did not dare to slack off, and answered one by one, in their opinion, Gao Huaiyuan is the minister of the Qincha, and if they ask them anything, it is likely to involve their careers, so they dare not be perfunctory, as for how many real ingredients are in the answer, then Gao Huaiyuan is not clear for the time being.

However, judging from the words of these people, the western part of Beijing has been well completed for the imperial decree issued by the central government, and the redundant soldiers here within the scope of the reduction have all moved north to the Jingdong area in addition to the local layoffs and home, and began to work in the Jingdong Tuntian, although it has affected the interests of some people, such as letting the state government call the box soldiers or township soldiers in the future, they will not be so convenient in the future, but fundamentally speaking, this matter still has more advantages than disadvantages, at least for the local expenditure pressure, However, it has decreased a lot, so that the officials in western Beijing no longer have a headache because of financial problems.

The existing military expenditure can basically be used for the construction of the regular army, and it can basically be used to the fullest, and the Chuzhou battalion has also carried out a large-scale reorganization under the auspices of Meng Heng, taking advantage of this opportunity to dismiss the old, weak, sick and disabled people in the army, and from the planned retrenchment of the van soldiers, a large number of young and strong soldiers have been absorbed, so that the quality of the soldiers in the Chuzhou battalion has been greatly improved under the condition that the original establishment remains unchanged.

And the positive and negative capitals of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Division were also recruited to Chuzhou this time to welcome Gao Huaiyuan's arrival together, so Gao Huaiyuan had to ask about the situation of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Division.

The Jiangzhou Metropolitan Commander Division is many times weaker than the Chuzhou Battalion, which has a strength of 52,000 according to the imperial court's establishment regulations, while the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Commander has only 12,000 troops, and Jiangzhou's military status is significantly lower than that of Chuzhou compared to the Chuzhou Metropolitan Division.

And Jiangzhou Metropolitan Commander is a veteran, named Wu Xiang, known as prestige in the Jiangzhou army, but this person obviously does not belong to the Shaozhuang faction, for this large-scale reorganization of the imperial court The matter of the army is a little less enthusiastic, although forced by identity, this time to Chuzhou to meet Gao Huaiyuan, but he is somewhat not very interested in Gao Huaiyuan, in his opinion, Gao Huaiyuan is too young, although he has quite a lot of military achievements, but after all, where is the age, so compared to ordinary people, Gao Huaiyuan seems a little arrogant.

Hearing that Gao Huaiyuan asked about the situation of the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Division, Wu Xiang stood up and replied: Back to the words of the senior minister, there are currently 12,000 regular soldiers under the command of the lower officials, who are stationed along the coast of Jiangzhou.

Gao Huaiyuan kept smiling and listened to this Wu Xiang's words, and then nodded and said: It seems that Wu Dutong is also very dedicated this time! However, I have heard that there is actually a lot of shortage of regular soldiers in the Jiangzhou Metropolitan Unified Division, so how can it reach the full establishment of 12,000 people?
