Chapter 504 South Expedition

Only when the world is stable can people's hearts be stable, and only when people's hearts are stable can people's hearts be won.▲∴

Yi Feng even wondered if he should enter Guanzhong first. But he quickly shook his head again. 120,000 troops were enough. He Ruobi, Yang Xiong and Qu Tutong were all famous generals who had been through battle for a long time, which was different from the last battle of Daibei. The battle of Daibei was an invasion of the Turkic invasion and underestimated the enemy. If Yang Xiu insisted on defending the city, it would be normal to siege the city and fight for key issues for a year or two. If 100,000 troops could not be captured, you sent 200,000.

Three hundred thousand is basically no different from adding fuel. There will not be too much quantitative change, but will put huge pressure on his logistics. After all, Yang Xiu unexpectedly controlled Guanzhong, and did not have any expected situation of group rise and fall. In this way, Yang Xiu's strength is still very strong. It is hard to say that when the soldiers arrive, the opponent will abandon the gate and flee and look down. It is not easy to fight hard.

We still have to send troops to Yangzhou. Maybe there is no need to have many soldiers. We choose an elite soldier and go south to conquer Huainan. We will first attack Yang Guang and then fight Yang Xiu to fight Yang Xiu.

This series of problems made Yi Feng feel upset and the weather became more and more stuffy. He simply didn't think too much. He went step by step and believed that his situation should be the best among the three families. Even he was so upset, so Yang Xiu and Yang Guang would only be even more upset.

"Good news for your Highness!"

Yi Feng raised his head in shock when he was shouting, and Li Mi walked over with a meteor, with a strange surprise on his face. Behind him, Liu Wenjing, Pei Ji, Su Xiaoci, Wang Bao and others came over happily.

"Your Highness, the memorial of Duke Yang Su of Yue has been published, which is a memorial to swear allegiance to the court." Feng Deyi said with a smile. He was once an aide to Yang Su and married Yang Su's niece. He was very close to Yang Su. Now that Yang Su has returned to the court, this is naturally a good thing for him. Once Yang Su enters the court, he must have a very high status in the court, and he also has an important backer.

"Really?" Yi Feng was surprised and was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He paused for a while before he got up and said, "Everyone went to the hall and came over after I changed my clothes."

After a while, Yi Feng changed his clothes and returned to the hall. At this time, his mood calmed down a little. Everyone sat in the hall and talked excitedly, and even Gao Feng, Han Seng Shou Yu and Wen Bi and other important officials came to hear the news.

"Your Highness, is it true that Yang Su su surrendered?" Gao Feng asked.

"I don't know the specific information I just received. The Grand Master happened to listen to the detailed situation with me." Yi Feng smiled and asked Gao Yang to take his seat together.

Gao Yang felt a little depressed. Yang Su was originally recommended to the court, but later Yang Su followed the route of the queen, and was extremely favored by the emperor and his wife, climbing higher and higher. Finally, he became the right pushe and even began to challenge him. At the beginning, the two supported the prince and the other supported the King of Jin in the court. They were absolutely clear and distinct, hostile to each other, and even reached the point where water and fire were incompatible. Unexpectedly, the two were going to work together again. He was surprised that Yang Su was not very determined to follow Yang Guang. Why did he suddenly turn over again now?

"It's Shi Wansui." Pei Zeng smiled and reported to Yi Feng, "According to the news sent back from Longyou by the Military Information Department, Shi Wansui swore allegiance to Yang Xiu. Yang Xiu appointed Shi Wansui as Duke of Wu, Taibao, and Shangshu's Right Pushe. Then Shi Wansui moved and mobilized about 50,000 troops from all his troops to march towards Yang Su in Lingzhou."

"What does Yang Xiu mean?"

“Not sure yet.”

Yi Feng smiled, "Is this what Shi Wansui meant? He was positive. But I remember that Yang Xiu also promised Yang Su a lot of rewards, such as Shangshu Ling Taishi?"

"It is probably because Yang Xiu saw that Yang Su refused to reply for a long time, so he planned to take action first. But when Yang Su saw that Yang Guang's situation was not good, she finally thought of joining the court."

"No matter what, this is a good thing. Do Yang Su have any requirements?" Yi Feng asked.

"No." Liu Wenjing shook her head.

Yi Feng was a little surprised, "He didn't ask us to send troops to support or something?"

"No. Yang Su's memorial said that he would kill Shi Longsheng for the court and recover Longyou Hexi for the court." Liu Wenjing replied truthfully.

"Duke Yue is very confident. He is 30,000 to Shi Longsheng and 50,000, and he is alone. Yang Xiu from Guanzhong may send troops to reinforce Shi Longsheng at any time. Well, his loyalty is commendable and courage is boosted. In order to commend loyalty and courage, he specially granted Yang Su the title of Duke of Chu, with a fief of 5,000 households, was appointed as the Taifu, and was promoted to the Left Pushe, and was awarded the marshal of the Western Punishment. The generals and officers under his command all added a merit and promoted one rank. The soldiers were awarded one merit and given ten thousand money." Yi Feng was quite happy with Yang Su's allegiance.

"Can Yang Su defeat Shi? Will it be issued an edict to ask Yang Su to lead his troops to Fengzhou, or simply retreat from Fengzhou to Hedong?" Liu Wenjing suggested that after all, Yang Su was just an isolated army. Shi Wansui was also a famous general, with more troops than Yang Su, and Yang Xiu was also a supporter. Although Yang Su didn't have many troops, he was very important. He was in Lingfeng, Longyou, occupied Hetao, and although he was already outside Xiaoguan in the northwest of Guanzhong, there was this army that belonged to the court, which was a threat to Yang Xiu, who could restrain Yang Xiu for the court, and even acted as a surprise soldier at critical moments. If Yang Su and Shi Wansui fought against 30,000 to 50,000, even if they could win, there would definitely be many casualties. If the army was alone, they might be destroyed by Yang Xiu. Therefore, it would be better to preserve Yang Su's army than to fight Shi Wansui.

"I gave him this advice from the edict to Yang Su, but the final decision-making power is with him." Yi Feng thought about it and did not intend to force the order directly. Even if he ordered someone like Yang Su, the other party might not be responsible for him. Let Yang Su decide for himself.

Yang Su's concession made Yi Feng feel better and wiped out his previous boredom.

On that day, Yi Feng held a meeting of important officials in Jinyong City later.

At the meeting, Yi Feng finally announced the abolition of the general management system and began to implement the provincial system. For the current actual control areas of the imperial court, it was officially divided into Hedong Province, Hebei Province, Henan Province, Jingdong Province, Seshang Province, and Seshang Province, with Luoyang as Tokyo and Taiyuan as Beijing. Among them, Seshang Province is part of Huaihuang in the north of Yanshan and the south of Xi territory. The Seshang Province is the original Sanfan Twenty-one resident states under Youzhou Prefecture. It was originally planned to establish the western Liaoning Province, but now it is occupied by Wei Chong in western Liaoning. Yi Feng did not intend to point to the map to divide it into vain.

JD.com is the region east of the Bian River in Henan Province, forming Henan Province and JD.com.

Each province has established the Ministry of Justice. The Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of

The orders of the court were all commanders who had no authority to mobilize more than ten soldiers. In fact, just like the original court's cavalry generals and senior officers above the generals of each guard, they could only lead the troops if they received the order. They were usually only responsible for the administration of the troops of a province. Just like the current Ministry of War, they were mainly responsible for administration and logistics. In this way, the power of the former chief generals to command troops was abolished, making the court's army and officers cut off the extremely powerful military power just like the original soldiers and generals of each guard.

"Li Changya was the left governor of Hebei, Li Yuan was the right governor of Hebei. Yuan Ya was the left governor of Hedong, Li Min was the right governor of Hedong. Yuan Bao was the left governor of Henan, Chai Shen was the right governor of Henan. Gao Di was the left governor of Jingdong, Yang Yichen was the right governor of Jingdong. Xu Deyan was the left governor of Se Shang Province, and Li Baiyao was the right governor of Right governor of Right governor of Li..."

A series of appointment announcements of provincial officials, those present came forward to listen to the order and thanked him. Although they were provincial officials, they were equivalent to the original level of the general manager. Each province managed more than ten states, but in fact, the three departments were separated, which made a province have six chief officials of the same level and divided into three yamen. And the most important military power actually did not have any commands. Therefore, the province was far less powerful than the original general manager. Those who manage the people can only manage the people, and those who manage the law can only manage the law. Those who manage the military can even manage the administrative logistics of the army. In this way, only

The only one with more real power is the Chief Secretary, but he can only manage civil affairs, and even the judicial power has been cut off. Basically, even if he is a larger state governor, there are two Chief Secretary. Therefore, the most important thing is to appoint the Chief Secretary of the first provincial three departments. Moreover, even if the Chief Secretary is appointed, the court, such as Gao Jiang and others, do not care so much. The Chief Secretary is not as good as the former chief manager, and even the Chief Secretary is inferior to the Central Chief Manager, and he can barely be considered a small chief manager, so there is nothing to be content with. If he becomes a Chief Secretary, there is nothing to be happy about.

However, Yi Feng still put a lot of effort into the first batch of governors, especially the left governors who were slightly higher than the right governors. They used their own people, father-in-law, uncle, adoptive father, teacher and other absolutely trustworthy people. The right governors arranged for former general managers such as Li Yuan and Yang Yichen.

After the appointment of the governors of the six provinces, they appointed the prosecutors of the prosecutors of each province, and the commander commander was not considered a real power.

Next, a group of state governors and state commanders were appointed and removed. Many of the original governors were replaced and promoted by others. The position of the commander of the provincial commander was actually the same as that of the provincial commander, and was named the military of a state, but in fact it was only in charge of the logistics and administrative affairs of the provincial troops, which replaced the original central commander.

In terms of rank, the newly established provincial officials, both the left and right governors are in the third rank, the left and right supervisors are in the third rank, and the left and right commanders are in the fourth rank. However, the provincial governor's rank has dropped, the highest is in the fourth rank, the lowest is in the fourth rank, and the Duwei is in the fifth rank.

In the end, the Taiyuan court established six new provinces, and there were a total of 100 prefectures and 437 counties under the six provinces, accounting for one-third of the prefectures of the Sui Dynasty. However, it was the most elite Kanto region with nearly half of the population. The Taiyuan court was strong.

After a series of appointments were read out, Yi Feng swept over Gao Yang. Gao Yang was like an old monk entering into meditation, closing his eyes slightly, and did not come out to raise objections. This result made him very satisfied. I believe Gao Yang also understood that abolishing the general control was a good thing for the court, and on the other hand, if the general control was continued, the general managers of the Kanto provinces were basically all Yang Lin's people. Now that the provincial governments have established a province, the court centralized power, and the Secretariat actually has stronger control over the local areas than before.

"Now Yang Xiu sent troops to fight with Yang Guang in Jiangling. At this time, the two people were fighting each other, so we could not sit by and watch. Marshal He Ruo was attacking Pujin Pass fiercely, while General Li Jing led his troops north to fight Goguryeo. Although the two groups of troops were used, the opportunity was rare and should not be missed. Therefore, I decided to immediately form a camp for pacifying the bandits in the south, go straight to Huainan, break Yang Guang's nest, and recover the land of Jiangdong to resolve Yang Guang as soon as possible."

The hall was quiet for a moment, and Gao Feng couldn't help but open his eyes.

He did not expect that Yi Feng would act so frequently. He had just launched the provincial system and abolished the General Administration Office and sent Li Jing northward. At this moment, he was going to mobilize troops to fight south again.

In this way, will the three groups of troops be too nervous?

"I wonder who your Majesty plans to send troops to lead the south?" Gao Feng asked.

Yi Feng looked at Gao Bing and replied, "I plan to lead my troops south to Huainan, and after regaining Yangzhou, I will send troops to Jingzhou."

"Your Highness personally leads the troops south, but the court cannot do without Your Highness?" Gao Feng was a little surprised. Although Yi Feng was the crown prince, he was the regent of the state. The emperor was sick and he was unable to recuperate. Therefore, the crown prince was regent. But if the crown prince led his troops to fight, who would take over the Chinese government? Should he have to establish a regent of the state or a regent? But the eldest son of the crown prince is only half a year old?

"The Grand Master's words are indeed reasonable." Yi Feng looked thoughtful and said, "Your Majesty has always been unwell and it is difficult to govern. I really cannot do without the court. Well, the Southern Expedition is indeed important and I cannot wait. Then let the Privy Councilor Wang Bao be the marshal of the Southern Expedition, and the Grand Master serves as the chief of the marching of the marching to help the Privy Councilor Wang command and coordinate the Southern Expedition?"

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment. He looked at Yang Lin and understood that Yang Lin's so-called "to go south to personally expedition" was just a saying. The purpose was to wait for his words and then let himself go to the expedition. The prince was trying to get himself out of the court. Gao Yang was thinking a lot, and the words he refused had already reached his mouth several times, but he still didn't say it in the end.

"The old minister is willing to go and serve the country."

Yi Feng immediately smiled on his face, "Then I will be the one who will be the Grand Master. I will see you off for the Grand Master tomorrow and wish you a triumphant victory."
