(When this chapter is finished, the courtier is considered to be the end; There will be a chapter ending that will explain some of the following things clearly. Thank you, brothers and sisters, for two whole years)

Lin was escorted by the First Jockey and left Yanjing in early August......

In fact, Lin Jian never entered this heroic city, which can be called the first in the world, even during the two months in Yanjing, he lived in Yanjiao Manor to act as an official business.

Yanjing City was built so majestic and strong, but who would have thought that Yanjing City changed hands twice, and there was not even a fierce war - although Lin Jian had resigned from the "Yuan's Zen Concession" eight times, but by August, the matter of Jiangning, the capital of the new empire, was decided, and Lin Jian did not have the heart to go to Yanjing City to mourn the old scenery of Yuan Yue or Yanhu.

Set up Yanji County, Yanjing was renamed Yanping, and governed the city for Yanji County, so that Zuo Chengmu led Yanji Xuanfu Envoy; Jinhai was carved out from Yanji County and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Privy Council, so that Yue Zhi was out of the affairs of Jinhai Prefecture.

Cui Quanchen, Cui He's father and son changed banners, so that the Goryeo war was successfully resolved, and the Haidong camp army was also meritorious, and there was no need to retain up to 50,000 water infantry troops in the Haidong region.

In August, the 1st Town Division of the Haidong Xingying Army was reorganized into the Hejin Mixed Town Division, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Military Department, and Pan Wenshu was appointed as the commander of the army, Cao Wenlong was appointed as the staff officer, and the 3rd Brigade of the Shuibu Army was under the jurisdiction of the Hejin Island base, so as to ensure that the political situation in Goryeo could be carried out according to Jiangning's intentions in the future.

The 2nd Town Division was reorganized into the Jeju Governor's Guard, and the establishment was reduced to two brigades of 6,000 people, and Ge Changgen was changed to the commander of the Guard, and his duties were limited to the defense of Jeju and the sea. The defense work of the Haidong Trade Route on a larger scale was assigned to the Jinghai Division.

The third town division was included in the Fengli army sequence.

Ma Yigong, who had completed the important task, was relieved of his position as the commander of the Haidong marching camp, landed from Haizhou in early August, and waited for Lin Tie to go south in Xuzhou; At the same time, waiting for Lin Tie to be summoned to Xuzhou was Wei Zhonglong, the division army of Taihang Mountain.

**************

On August 26, Xuzhou was already in autumn.

Unlike Liu Miaozhen, the wife of the state of Xuzhou, who rushed halfway to greet her husband, Ma Yigong, Wei Zhonglong, Li Wei and other Xuzhou generals patiently looked forward to the prime minister outside Xuzhou City, and the dust raised by the outpost cavalry did not appear in everyone's field of vision until the afternoon.

Ma Yigong and Wei Zhonglong are not in a hurry, the two of them have not seen each other for more than ten years, and they only hate the short days after they get together in Xuzhou, and they will not be impatient to sit and reminisce.

Li Wei was wearing a purple robe, and he himself was going to Taiyuan a few days ago to serve as the Xuanfu envoy of Jinzhong, but when Lin Jian was proclaimed emperor, he had no way to go to Jiangning to congratulate him, so he delayed for a few days and waited to meet Lin Jian in Xuzhou before leaving for the north.

Since the battle of Xu Si, ten years of Chenguang have passed in a blink of an eye, Li Wei recalled the past with emotion, and unconsciously the main force of the first jockey who guarded Lin Lian to the south had arrived outside the long pavilion.

Lin Tie and Liu Miaozhen rode slowly side by side, Song Jia didn't dare to learn Lin Tie's long horseback riding, so he could only sit in the car, through the window, and talk to Lin Tie and Liu Miaozhen. Song Fu couldn't stand the bumps on the road, fell ill on the road, and was drowsy in a carriage at this time.

Seeing Li Wei, Ma Yigong, Wei Zhonglong and others coming from afar, Lin Tie restrained the horses, waited for them to come closer, and looked at Wei Zhonglong: "When Zhonglong left Jinhai, I felt a pity at that time; Wu Tianzhan died in Jinhai, and he left me a letter before he died, but half of the pen and ink was about you. You go back to Jiangning with me first, I still have Wu Tian's letter, I think it would be more appropriate for you to keep that letter......"

Thinking that the old robe Ze had long been lost, Wei Zhonglong's heart choked, and he just nodded yes, without more words.

Lin Jian said to Ma Yigong: "In the next big war, there is only the Western Expedition and the Destruction of Shu, which is not a difficult matter. Chen Zhihu and Cao Yiqu have countless brave generals under their commands, but can they still go against the general trend of the world? In addition to clearing out the remnants of the enemy, garrison defense will become the top priority of all armies. I have the intention to withdraw the army and set up a garrison area, and now I will set up a swallow thistle defense area, I want you to work hard and preside over the work......"

"The Lord is sent, and he is willing to serve his life." Ma Yigong said.

"You haven't returned to Jiangning for a long time, it's not too late to go back to Jiangning for a period of time and then go north, and now Gao Zongting will support you in the north first," Lin Lian smiled, and said to Li Wei, "Li Gong is going north as soon as possible, I went south from Yannan to the south, along the old Cao River south, all the way is desolate, only by entering the territory of Xuzhou, the situation can be improved, you can see the dense population, the recovery of the people's livelihood in the Central Plains, thanks to Li Gong and the people......"

In addition to Li Wei as the Jinzhong Xuanfu envoy and Zuo Chengmu as Yan Ji's Xuanfu envoy, Song Shixing was in Luoyang, and he would also lead the Henan Xuanfu envoy, and Chen Huawen was transferred to Shandong Xuanfu Envoy......

Since Yanhu's southern invasion, in addition to Guanzhong and Sichuan and Shu, which have not yet been recovered at this time, Henan, Jinzhong, Yanji, and Shandong have been the most affected - the population of Yanji plus Jinglu before the war is almost 134 million, and there may not be 5 million left at this time; The population decline in Jinzhong and Shandong is likely to exceed 50%; Henan is the most miserable, tens of millions of counties, at this time, Hezhong Province is the most densely populated, plus Daliang and other places, the total population will not exceed two million.

Lin Lian and Song Fu, Ma Yigong, Li Wei, Wei Zhonglong and others discussed military politics while walking.

At the beginning of the Central Plains, the achievements of the Western Expedition and the Destruction of Shu were not competitive, and there were too many things to do, and there was no end to the discussion, and the discussion could not be exhausted......

Not far away, there are more than a dozen prisoner vans that are being closely guarded.

More than a dozen prisoner vans were holding Zhang Xie and other war criminals, waiting to be taken to Jiangning for interrogation and punishment. Zhang Xie was full of white hair, his eyes were empty looking at the black walls, although there was a small window, but he had no intention of looking at the scenery outside the window, procrastinating and only begging for death, and Lin Jian obviously wanted to use him to correct the name of Li Zhuo and others, and he could not tolerate his comfortable death......

Na He Yurong also sat in a prisoner car, but her situation was much better than Zhang Xie's, and she was even allowed to bring a personal maid to accompany her; It's just that her beauty can confuse people's souls, and Song Jia transferred several healthy women in military uniforms from her side to take care of her.

Captured in Luan County, Yurong was also strange in his heart, he did not have a particularly strong desire to seek death, nor did he have a particularly strong desire to survive. At first, I thought that I might be humiliated, but I was always treated with due courtesy, and there was no inconvenience other than being restrained in my movements.

Speaking of which, Na He Yurong used to live like this in Liaoyang and Yanjing, and she didn't feel any special inconvenience, she wrote, read, and even saw books on new learning, which made her very interested.

Later, after learning that Azig was only exiled to Nanyang and not executed, Yurong had a strong desire to survive again, thinking that in her lifetime, she might be able to meet her younger brother, and she looked forward to giving her a life that would settle in Jiangning.

Through the curtain of the car, Na He Yurong looked at Lin Jian who was standing on the grass on the side of the road and talking to his generals in the distance, even if he looked at it from a distance, he could feel his bearing in pointing out the country, and his heart was filled with inexplicable emotions, and he picked up a few scrolls with the fragrance of ink next to the couch, and even wishful thinking: These books may have been sent by him; This man is strange, he wants to take my body, so he takes it, but does he want to take my heart?

**************

Lin Jian stayed in Xuzhou for one night, and the next day he changed his way from Xuzhou to the waterway, and under the escort of the Jingjiang Naval Division, he entered Hongzepu through Bianshui and headed south, and landed on the land of Jiangning on 30 August through Jinchuan Port.

Jinchuan Port is the early Hekou Town, but it is no longer limited to the west bank, and the port area extends almost from the foot of the northeast city of Jiangning to the east of the river.

The Jinchuan Iron Bridge was also completed at the end of the seventh year of Yongxing.

The iron bridge, which eventually cost 460,000 silver dollars, spans the Jinchuan River. The iron bridge is full of people and horses, and when the tall ships on both sides gather to a certain extent, the Jinchuan iron bridge will be opened to allow the tall ships to pass.

The original prison island has also completely become a part of Jinchuan Port, and the gray and white lighthouse in the southwest corner of prison island is 12 zhang high, and together with the Jinchuan Iron Bridge, it has become a landmark building in Jiangning East City.

Standing on the well-guarded Jinchuan Port wharf, with a wide field of vision, Lin Jian looked around, it seemed that his life course of more than ten years was condensed in this square inch of land, and he asked Hu Wenmu, Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Sun Jingxuan, Qin Chengzu and other cadres not to be too polite, and took the car to Donghua Gate and walked into the new empire created by him......

**************

After entering the city, Lin Jian first went to Wanshou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Liang as usual, but the Liang family closed the door and locked the door, so that Miao Shuo and Hailing Wang Yuan Jianhai guarded the courtyard and did not let Lin Jian break in.

Lin Jian stood in front of the Wanshou Palace, looked at the closed door, looked at Miao Shuo's forehead oozing sweat, and said with a smile: "The autumn breeze is cool, Miao Gong is sweating profusely, don't you welcome the class teacher of this academy to return to the court?" ”

The corners of Lin Lian's mouth were smiling, but Miao Shuo and Yuan Jianhai trembled, worried that the blades of the armor soldiers would ruthlessly cut them into minced meat in the next moment.

After the Changhuai Army and the Changshan Army captured Xuchang, Dong Yuan, Yuan Guizheng, Yuan Jinsheng and others were convicted of secretly communicating with Hu Lu and plotting treason, Shen Rong, Yuan Hancheng and other cadres were involved in Dong Yuan's rebellion case, and at this time they were already imprisoned, and it seemed that it was difficult to escape death.

Miao Shuo and Yuan Jianhai both knew in their hearts that Lin Jian wanted to perform the ritual of Zen to show that the new empire he created was not usurped, so they could endure not to poison the two of them for the time being, but when Lin Jian became emperor, what was waiting for them might be a cup of poisonous wine or a piece of white silk.

Lin Jian also had no intention of scaring Miao Shuo and Yuan Jianhai, the Liang family was just a dying person, she would let her make trouble if she had a temper, and after not breaking through her longevity, she turned around and led the generals to walk outside the palace, watching Yuan Yan come from a distance.

Lin Jian stood there, looking at her although she was not as innocent as she was in her early years, her face was becoming more and more beautiful, and there was still a familiar look between her eyebrows and eyes under her crow-colored hair, and asked, "I haven't seen you for a long time, are you okay in the palace?" ”

"Thank you Grandpa Guo for your concern, Yuan Yan has no inconvenience," Yuan Yan leaned and said, "The Northern Expedition is a great achievement, the mountains and rivers are no longer broken, and the people's livelihood has to recuperate, Yuan Yan just came over to congratulate ......"

Lin Lian laughed and said: "When I go back to Jiangning, everyone in the Yuan clan has tense faces, as if I have done a wrong thing by leading the army to the Northern Expedition and recovering the Central Plains, and the only thing is Yuan Yan You come to congratulate me," he laughed, stared at Yuan Yan's face as white as mutton fat, and said, "I want to ask you something?" ”

"What's the matter, Grandpa Guo, please say." Yuan Yan asked.

"Would you like to marry me?" Lin Jian asked.

"If it is for the heart of An Yuan's family, it will be difficult for Yuan Yan to obey his fate, and he will have no regrets in this life...... Yuan Yan bowed his head and said.

Lin Lian smiled, stretched out his hand to take Yuan Yan's tender hand, and said: "I rode all the way south from Yanjing, and what I thought about the most was when I woke up in Yangxin City and saw that innocent face, and I wanted to do my best in my life to not hurt her in the slightest. So, I'm going to marry you......"

Yuan Yan blushed in shame, didn't dare to look at the generals around Lin Yan, but didn't withdraw his hand.

Hu Wenmu, Song Fu, Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Liu Zhi, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu and other cadres looked around, looked at the roof, looked at the blue sky, and seemed to have completely failed to see or hear what had just happened......
