170 Wenlou Wulou
Fang Ling's slender waist twisted wildly, and she sneered, "Don't you dare, concubine, isn't Sister Yun with you these days?"
"You don't want our relationship to go further, I can't wait, besides, she ignored me just now, I won't recruit her"
Fang Ling smiled when she heard this, her face was flushed, and she whispered, "Sister Yun has no relatives in this world except the prime minister, she didn't want to open it for a while, I am afraid that after the lady enters the door, her brother Lanping will like the new and hate the old, and please don't blame her."
Will Wang Lanping like the new and hate the old, Fang Ling is the best example, it is impossible to forget the feelings of his youth, no matter who the other party is, it is impossible to replace Yun Niang's position in his heart, and the identity of a main room cannot control Wang Lanping's heart.
"Do you want to open it?" Wang Lanping asked.
"I, I'm just a girl bought back by Xiangye, how can I be angry"
Wang Lanping he, hehe, straight, look at this little mouth, it's strange if he doesn't get angry, he is even more presumptuous at the moment, as if he wants to do it in this blue sky and daylight.
Fang Ling's face was red and his heart was beating, but he quickly came back to his senses, puffed out his mouth and said, "It's all to blame Xiangye, the concubine almost forgot about the business by you" Fang Ling's clothes were messy for a while, and he was panting.
"What?"
"Du Ningning's father found it, just yesterday, he was very depressed, but Sister Ning Ning didn't know it yet, I took it upon myself to place Master Du in an inn outside the house."
Wang Lanping was stunned and raised up, "Who?" My old man who didn't pass through the door is here? ”
"Well, the concubine doesn't know how to deal with it, and I don't know what happened to the Du family, if the prime minister wants to see him first"
Wang Lanping immediately let go of her. Nodding, "Okay." You did the right thing, something happened to the Du family. It's just that Ning Ning doesn't know yet, let me think about how to tell her first, don't tell her yet"
"The concubine knows"
Wang Lanping turned around and was about to leave, just took a few steps but quickly turned back, pulled Fang Ling to her side with force, and whispered in her ear in a very tough and domineering tone, "I'll 'eat' you sooner or later" and strode away.
Fang Ling's face was redder than the peach blossoms in the courtyard, biting his fingers, thinking about what was wrong. For a while, people are more delicate than flowers.

Soon, with the issuance of the emperor's decree on marriage, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are also busy, the prime minister's marriage is a big deal, especially now, it is more grand than the emperor's wedding, it is said that the prime minister's marriage is not the turn of the Ministry of Rites to undertake, but who called this the emperor's marriage, supreme glory.
Especially the Ministry of Rites. I have just experienced the trouble of the Gongyuan, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu feels that this matter has not been done well, and he is ashamed of his trust in the prime minister, so the marriage of the prime minister must be done in a beautiful manner.
Go first with the Divine Decree. The Ministry of Rites also sent a huge team to the south to welcome relatives, hugging from front to back, and going to Fujian to welcome relatives. By decree, this marriage is a sure thing. There is no room for reversal.
According to the plan, the wedding party brought the bride from Fujian. Prime Minister Wang Cheng went out of Nanjing City for 50 miles to greet him, and then the whole city celebrated, and the emperor came to the wedding and gave a wine banquet in the Forbidden City, which was more courteous than the prince's marriage.
The news of the marriage of King Zheng and Wang has already spread out hundreds of miles along the wind, and the congratulatory excerpts have also flown into Nanjing City like snowflakes, and the prime minister has just been in Bingguo's meeting, but there is no foreign official to congratulate, and now it is good, the wedding has not yet been held, and the excerpts of congratulations have been piled up on Wang Lanping's desk, one by one, trying their best to knot, and even the prince-level royal relatives also took the initiative to show goodwill.
Seeing this, Wang Lanping secretly said in his heart: A group of masters who don't cry when they don't see the coffin.
Hong Chengchou, the new envoy sent to Jiangnan by the Qing court, also came to Huai'an Mansion long ago, and Duoduo, the prince of Yu, was removed from the post of commander of the expedition to the south and became Hong Chengchou's deputy.
Hong Chengchou is a capable man in the end, as soon as he arrived, he immediately changed the strategy of marching into the south of the Yangtze River, where the Jianghuai Qing army stopped all military operations against the Ming court and the Shun court, rebuilt Yangzhou City, built a military town in the Qingliu Pass of Chuzhou to confront Dashun, and incorporated the Ming army of the Ying Wuwei and Feixiong Wei of the original Ming Court into the Han Eight Banners, stationed in Dingyuan City, and incorporated the Ming troops of Yingchuan Wei, Wu Pingwei and Changhuai Wei into the area of Shouzhou City and Bagong Mountain, these three garrisons are in addition to the Han Eight Banners, They also belonged to the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Cavalry Force, so that Ludu (Hefei), the capital of the Dashun Dynasty, was under the threat of the Qing army on three sides.
At the same time, Hong Chengchou also ordered Liu Kongzhao, the commander of the Ming court's naval division, to be the commander-in-chief of the Qing court's naval division, and to use Hongze Lake as the training base of the naval division to expand the strength and combat effectiveness of the naval division with great fanfare.
Moreover, Hong Chengchou sent envoys to the Ming Court and the Shun Court respectively, asking for a truce, Li Laixiang's Shun Court naturally couldn't ask for it, and finally took a breath, no matter what, he had to breathe evenly, and it was not too late to fight again in the future, and Li Laixiang also knew that the Qing court made such a move, which was nothing more than a lack of troops and could not fight on multiple fronts, just a remnant of the Ming Dynasty was enough for Hong Chengchou to gnaw for a few years, and the truce was a last resort but had to be done for both sides now.
Soon, Shunting also responded, it is impossible to negotiate peace, and it is impossible to make a truce, the Taizu Taizong of Dashun died under the pursuit of the Qing army, and no one will agree to negotiate peace, but Li Laixiang took into account the current strength of Dashun, and the truce was inevitable, Li Laixiang ordered the 80,000 Shun troops stationed in Langya Mountain to retreat across Xiangshui (originally these 80,000 people confronted the defenders of Qingliu Pass of the Qing Army in Langya Mountain), and set up camp in the area of Sangen Mountain, which is tantamount to taking the initiative to withdraw from the state of confrontation on the front line, just verbally declaring that there is no peace and no negotiation.
Another envoy from the Qing court came to Nanjing and proposed that the Qing court and the Ming court should divide the Yangtze River in the Jianghuai area and rule each other, and no one in the Ming court dared to take over the stubble, so the Qing envoy stayed in Nanjing for more than a month.
It's not that Wang Lanping doesn't want to see him, he wants to make peace with the Qing court too much now, and he can free up his hands to settle down and unify Jiangnan, but no one will support him, and the saliva of the common people can drown him.
Like Shunting, although Wang Lanping did not have a posture of negotiating peace on the surface, he expressed this in fact that Huang Degong's army withdrew south from Hezhou, retreated to the territory of Taiping Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River and stationed along the river, and abandoned Jiangpu County and Xijiangkou Shuizhai in the south of the Yangtze River. It is better to give up, and more importantly, these strongholds have always been within the range of the Qing army to attack at any time. And if Wang Lanping wants to rescue, he must cross the Yangtze River, and the risk of crossing the river is too high. Not worth a try.
Although Hong Chengchou did not achieve the strategic attempt of Lianming to attack Shun as he wanted, he quickly saw that neither Shun nor Ming had the ability to fight with the Qing army with all their might, especially the Ming court, which was still scattered and too busy to take care of itself, and was still stationed in the Jianghuai area, and now there are still 300,000 Qing troops stationed in the Jianghuai area.
So. Hong Chengchou was relieved and bold, and ordered to transfer 100,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of Jianghuai, Manchu, Mongolia and Han to advance westward through Fengyang, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, along the Huai River, through Kaifeng, Huaiqing, and Xi'an, and finally came to Hanzhong to meet with the Manchu and Mongolian 70,000 Eight Banners who defeated Sun Kewang of the Great Western Army.
According to Hong Chengchou's strategic deployment, after the 18 members of the Qing army in Hanzhong joined forces, they united with 150,000 people from the British king's Azig department in the Xiangfan area to advance in unison. Attack Xichuan Zhang Xianzhong, and then go down the river, or take Shun or Ming, do whatever you want.
However, at this time, Hong Chengchou's idea had not yet been fully formed. The Jianghuai Qing army marching west into Hanzhong is still on the way, and the army has just passed Kaifeng, and it is still far from Hanzhong.
The base camp of the Qing army was located in Huai'an. If you want to command the war in Sichuan, there must be many inconveniences. As a result, Hong Chengchou moved the Jiangnan Jingluo Yamen from Jianghuai to Xi'an. Various strategic materials were also continuously transferred from Taiyuan Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Daimyo Mansion to Hanzhong.
For this war, Hong Chengchou was granted full control by the Qing court of the power of all the Eight Banner Army in the south of the Yangtze River, in the military, the British prince Azig, the Yu prince Duoduo, and the county king Nikan are all within its control, and the Qing court also clearly saw that to defeat the Han people, you have to rely on the Han people, and you have to win more and stronger Han people to serve the Qing court, and Hong Chengchou, as the highest general of the Han Dynasty, does not need him to appease anyone.
Hong Chengchou ordered Duoduo to defend Jianghuai, and at the same time ordered that no military action should be launched against Mingshun without authorization, and everything would be said after Zhang Xianzhong was surrendered.
The whole strategy of marching into Xichuan is divided into three steps, one is to prepare for war, the army is assembled in Hanzhong and Xiangfan for training, sharpen the sword, and second, clean up the heart of the Han people in the war area to submit to the Qing Dynasty, implement the civil and national policy that is more popular with the people than the former Ming Dynasty, abolish the guards, all military households are organized into the Eight Banners, all the land is distributed to the people, the soldiers are not engaged in agriculture, and focus on improving the combat effectiveness, and the third is to send out a detailed work to explore the geography and dangerous passes of Sichuan, and find out the real strength of the Great Western Army.
The above three points, according to Hong Chengchou's plan, probably in mid-May before the war mobilization can be completed, this is the Qing court launched the southern expedition half a year ago since the war launched by the power of the country, for this reason, the Qing regent Dolgon and the queen Da Yuer attached great importance to the battle of the western expedition, the Southern Ming and Shun were difficult for a while, and only this Sichuan can be selected, Sichuan has the title of the country of abundance since ancient times, rich in products, sufficient food, and the population is also the largest in the world, enough to raise 500,000 soldiers, and as long as Sichuan is taken, That is equivalent to forming an encirclement of the remnants of the Ming Dynasty, and the battle of Sichuan, the Qing court is bound to win.
**
With the southeast and the imperial court to King Zheng marriage into one, the new policy implemented by Zhang Shenyan, the head of the household department, in the seven prefectures of Nanzhi was unexpectedly calm, the household department united with Jinyi Wei, before and after less than a month, a total of at least nearly 1,000 people were dispatched together with the local officials, and the officials were holding the imperial edict and the prime minister's documents, everywhere they went, there were no people who dared to disobey, and the officials of the health center who were slightly resistant to the emotions heard that the six battalions of the Beijing Division were not far away to suppress bandits, thinking about the tragedy of Danyangwei, everyone had palpitations, who dared to say half a word in person.
Zhang Shenyan's recital was sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Wang Lanping smiled. He was very satisfied with the completion of the pilot work of returning the land to the people, more than 80,000 military households in the guard station have resumed their status as ordinary people, and more than 200,000 acres of land directly under the army have been redistributed, according to the secret agents of Jinyiwei, the military households who have completely changed their identities from head to toe and have been allocated to the land are as happy as if they have been reborn, and from the beginning of the new policy of the imperial court, there are a large number of military households who have fled back to their original places of origin, and it is the spring sowing period at this time, and the land of the former military households is extremely busy, but the people who work on the land are busy and elatedWillingly, from today on, this land belongs to them, and the prime minister also added an insurance policy to the new land policy, and the newly allocated land policy will remain unchanged for 50 years, and the people can cultivate with confidence.
Since Wang Lanping took charge, few political affairs were agreed on in the court, but today is different, the emperor is a dynasty, hundreds of officials gathered, and the emperor Zhu Yousong also came from the Qianqing Palace accompanied by eunuchs.
As the morning music slowly sounded, more than 400 civil and military officials entered through the noon gate one after another, divided into two columns on the left and right, the civil officials on the left, and the military attache on the right.
But when the hundred officials passed the Fengtian Gate and were walking towards the Fengtian Palace, everyone found something in unison.
Among the officials, some people are happy and some are worried, most of the happy ones are military attachés, and those who are worried are civil ministers, and all the civil servants look at each other, shaking their heads and sighing one by one.
It is only a small thing that makes the officials feel like this, but it is like a slap in the face of the officials.
Between Fengtianmen and Fengtian Palace, there are two pavilions, one is the Wenlou is located on the left side of the main hall, the other is the martial building is located on the right side of the main hall, usually these two floors are not of practical use, but the royal court attaches importance to the civil and military officials and repairs.
It is said that the left is respected, the right is second, and the Wenlou is on the left, which undoubtedly shows that the imperial court attaches great importance to the Wenke Anbang and the rejuvenating of the country.
But today, what the hundred officials see is completely opposite, the positions of the Wenlou and the Wulou have been adjusted one by one, becoming the Wulou on the left, the Wenlou on the right, of course, Wang Lanping did not tear down the two pavilions and rebuild, but just transferred the plaques of the two places.
The hundred officials were worried in their hearts, and the white marble steps at all levels outside the vast Fengtian Hall could be seen everywhere on the white marble steps of Yulinwei, and the martial arts were majestic.
"The emperor has a decree, and hundreds of officials enter the palace to discuss matters!" The eunuch stood at the door of the temple and proclaimed loudly.
The officials don't know what Prime Minister Wang is going to do today, anyway, every time there are officials in the great dynasty who are going to be unlucky, whose turn is it today?
"Stop!" The officials were about to enter the hall, but they were stopped by the armored samurai at the door.
The officials looked at each other, don't look at this as a small soldier, but he is Prime Minister Wang's soldier, and he represents the Prime Minister.
Sun Zhiren, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also had a good relationship with Wang Lanping, and even the marriage between Prime Minister Wang and the Zheng family was carefully handled by him, so he regarded himself as a party with the prime minister, so he was neither humble nor arrogant in the face of the soldiers who spoke, and asked with his back hand, "The emperor announced that we would enter the palace, why did you stop?" ”
The soldier held a strong spear, his body did not move, and he raised his head and said, "The prime minister has an order, today's court meeting, the military generals will go first, and the civil officials will follow" (to be continued.) )
