(After writing this chapter, Xiao Chen has come to an end; there will be an epilogue next, which will explain some of the follow-up matters clearly. Thank you, brothers and sisters, for your companionship for the whole two years)
Under the protection of the first jockey, Lin Fu left Yanjing in early August...
In fact, Lin Fu never entered this most powerful city in the world from beginning to end. Even during the two months in Yanjing, he lived in the Yanjiao Manor to handle official duties.
The city of Yanjing was built so majestic and solid, but who would have thought that the city of Yanjing changed hands twice without even a fierce battle taking place - although Lin Fu had declined the "Yuan family's abdication" eight times, by August, Xinjiang
The matter of Jiangning being the capital of the empire was settled, and Lin Fu had no intention of going to Yanjing City to mourn the past scenery of Yuanyue or Yanhu.
Yanji County was established, and Yanjing was renamed Yanping to govern the city of Yanji County. Zuo Chengmu was sent to lead the Yanji Xuanfu envoy; Jinhai was separated from Yanji County and placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Privy Council, and Yue Zhi was sent to Jinhai Prefecture.
thing.
Cui Quanchen, Cui Hyuk and his son changed their banners, which resulted in the successful resolution of the Goryeo War, and the success of the Haedong marching army. There was no need to retain up to 50,000 naval infantry troops in the Haedong area.
In August, the First Town Division of the Haidong Marching Camp Army was reorganized into the Hejin Mixed Town Division, which was under the direct jurisdiction of the military headquarters. Pan Wenshu was appointed as the commander of the army, and Cao Wenlong was appointed as the staff military officer. It was under the jurisdiction of the third brigade of the water infantry and was stationed at the Hejin Island base.
, to ensure that the political situation of Goryeo in the future can be carried out in accordance with Jiang Ning's intentions.
The Second Town Division was reorganized into the Jeju Governor's Guard Corps, with the establishment reduced to two brigades of 6,000 men. Ge Changgen was replaced as the commander of the guard army. His responsibilities were limited to the Jeju area and had jurisdiction over the defense of the sea. The Haidong Commercial Road was in a larger area.
The defense work above was assigned to the Jinghai Navy.
The Third Town Division was assigned to the Fengli Army sequence.
After completing his important task, Ma Yigong resigned from the post of commander of the Haidong marching army. He landed from Haizhou in early August and waited for Lin Fu to go south in Xuzhou. At the same time, waiting for Lin Fu's summons in Xuzhou was the Taihang Mountain ** town division.
Conquer Wei Zhonglong.
On August 26, autumn has arrived in Xuzhou.
Unlike Liu Miaozhen, the wife of Qiao State, who rushed halfway to meet her husband, Xuzhou generals such as Ma Yigong, Wei Zhonglong and Li Wei patiently waited outside Xuzhou City. It was not until the afternoon that the flying dust raised by the outpost cavalry appeared in front of everyone.
within the field of vision.
Ma Yigong and Wei Zhonglong were not in a hurry. They had not seen each other for more than ten years. After getting together in Xuzhou, they only regretted that the time was short. They would not be impatient just sitting and reminiscing about the past.
Li Wei was wearing a purple robe. He was about to go to Taiyuan a few days ago to serve as the envoy to central Jin. However, when Lin Fu became emperor, he had no way to go to Jiangning to congratulate him, so he delayed his departure for a few days and waited for an audience with Lin Fu in Xuzhou.
Go north.
Since the Xu Si War, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye. Li Wei recalled the past with emotion, and unknowingly, the main force of the first cavalry guarding Lin Fu southward had arrived outside Changting.
Lin Fu and Liu Miaozhen rode side by side. Song Jia did not dare to learn from Lin Fu's long horse riding. She could only sit in the car and talk to Lin Fu and Liu Miaozhen through the car window. Song Fu could not bear the bumps on the road.
Ku, fell ill on the road, and was drowsy in a carriage alone. Then he saw Xuzhou, so he got out of the car and met the people in Xuzhou.
Looking at Li Wei, Ma Yigong, Wei Zhonglong and others approaching from a distance, Lin Fu reined in his horse and waited for them to come closer. He looked at Wei Zhonglong and said, "Zhonglong left Jinhai back then. I felt it was a pity at that time.
Well, Wu Tian died in the battle at Jinhai. He left me a letter before he died, but half of the words were about you. Please follow me back to Jiangning first. I still keep Wu Tian’s letter, and I want you to keep it.
A letter would be more appropriate..."
Thinking of the old days when Pao Ze had long since lost his soul, Wei Zhonglong choked up in his heart and just nodded in agreement without any more words.
Lin Fu said to Ma Yigong: "The only remaining battles in the upcoming war are the Western Expedition and the Conquest of Shu, which are not difficult tasks. Chen Zhihu and Cao Yiqu have countless brave generals under their command, but can they go against the general trend of the world? Except for
In addition to clearing out the remaining enemies, garrison defense will become the top priority of all armies. I intend to withdraw the troops and establish garrison areas. For now, I will set up Yanji Defense Area first. I want you to work hard and take charge of the work..."
"My lord sent me here, and I am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul." 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 while and then go north. At the moment, Gao Zongting will support you while you go north." Lin Fu smiled and said to Li Wei, "Li Gong should go north as soon as possible.
Ah, I went south from Yannan and along the old Cao River. The whole way was desolate. Only when I entered Xuzhou did the situation change. I could see the dense population. The recovery of people's livelihood in the Central Plains was all thanks to Li Gong and others.
…”
In addition to Li Wei serving as the Xuanfu envoy to central Jinzhong and Zuo Chengmu serving as the Xuanfu envoy to Yanji, the Song Dynasty was in Luoyang and would also serve as the Xuanfu envoy to Henan. In addition, Chen Huawen was transferred to Shandong as the Xuanfu envoy...
Since the invasion of the south by Yan and Hu, in addition to Guanzhong and Sichuan, which have not yet been recovered at this time, Henan, Jinzhong, Yanji, and Shandong have been the hardest hit - before the war, the population of Yanji plus Jinglu was almost one
Thirteen to four million, there may not be five million left at this time; the population decline in Jinzhong and Shandong may exceed 50%; Henan is the most miserable, with tens of millions of counties, and Hezhong Prefecture is the most densely populated at this time.
Including Daliang and other places, the total population will not exceed two million.
Lin Fu, Song Fu, Ma Yigong, Li Wei, Wei Zhonglong and others discussed military affairs while walking.
The Central Plains was restored for the first time, and the achievements of the Western Expedition and the conquest of Shu had not been equaled. There were too many things to do, and we could not finish talking about them or discuss them all...
Not far away, there were more than a dozen prison cars under strict guard.
Zhang Xie and other war criminals were imprisoned in more than a dozen prison cars, waiting to be taken to Jiangning for interrogation and torture. Zhang Xie had white hair and stared blankly at the dark walls. Although there was a small window, he had no intention of looking outside the window.
Scenery, dragging on just wanted to die, and Lin Fu obviously wanted to use him to clear the name of Li Zhuo and others, and could not tolerate him dying comfortably...
Na He Yurong was also sitting in a prison car, but her situation was much better than that of Zhang Xie, and she was even allowed to bring a personal maid to accompany her. However, her beauty could enchant people's soul, so Song Jia took care of her several times.
A well-known soldier dressed in military uniform guarded her.
Being captured in Luan County, Yu Rong felt strange in her heart. She did not have a particularly strong desire to seek death, nor a particularly strong desire to survive. At first, she thought that she might be humiliated, but she was always treated with due courtesy, except that her actions were restricted.
Other than that, there are no other inconveniences.
Speaking of which, Na He Yurong used to live like this in Liaoyang and Yanjing. She didn't feel any particular inconvenience. She wrote in her spare time and even read books on new learning, which made her very happy.
interested in.
Later, after learning that Azig was only exiled to Nanyang and not executed, Yurong had a strong desire to survive. She thought that she might be able to meet her brother in her lifetime, and she even looked forward to settling down in Jiangning.
life.
Through the car curtain, Na He Yurong looked at Lin Fu who was standing on the grass slope on the roadside talking to his generals in the distance. Even looking from a distance, he could feel his magnanimity in guiding the country, and there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
In such a mood, I picked up a few books next to the couch that smelled of ink, and even thought wishfully: Maybe he had people send these books; this person was strange, he wanted to take over my body, so he took it.
Do you still want to take over my heart?
Lin Fu stayed in Xuzhou for one night, and the next day he took the water route from Xuzhou. Under the protection of the Jingjiang Navy, he entered Hongzepu via Bianshui River and headed south. On August 30, he landed in Jinchuan Port and landed in Jiangning.
Jinchuan Port was the Hekou Town in the early years, but it is no longer limited to the west bank. The port area extends almost from the base of the northeastern city of Jiangning to the Hedong area.
The Jinchuan Iron Bridge was also completed as early as the end of the seventh year of Yongxing.
This iron bridge, which ultimately cost up to 460,000 silver dollars, spans the Jinchuan River. There is a constant flow of people and horses on the iron bridge. When the tall ships on both sides gather to a certain extent, the Jinchuan Iron Bridge will open and let the tall ships pass.
The original Prison Island has also completely become a part of Jinchuan Port. The twelve-foot-high gray-white lighthouse at the southwest corner of Prison Island has become a landmark building in Jiangning East City together with the Jinchuan Iron Bridge.
Standing on the heavily guarded Jinchuan Port pier, with a wide field of vision, Lin Fu looked around, as if his life of more than ten years had been condensed into this small area, holding his hands to let Hu Wenmu, Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde,
Sun Jingxuan, Qin Chengzu and other people did not ask for too many gifts and took the car to Donghua Gate to enter the new empire created by him...
After entering the city, Lin Fu first went to the Wanshou Palace to meet the Empress Dowager Liang as usual. However, the Liang family locked the door and asked Miao Shuo and Hailing Prince Yuan Jianhai to guard the door and prevent Lin Fu from breaking in.
Lin Fu stood in front of the Longevity Palace, looking at the closed door, seeing the sweat dripping from Miao Shuo's forehead, and said with a smile: "The cool autumn breeze is refreshing, Mr. Miao is sweating profusely, don't you welcome our master to return to the court?"
"
Lin Fu had a smile on his lips, while Miao Shuo and Yuan Jianhai were trembling, fearing that the weapons of the soldiers around them would ruthlessly cut them into mincemeat in the next moment.
After the Changhuai Army and Changshan Army captured Xuchang, Dong Yuan, Yuan Guizheng, Yuan Jinqiu and others were charged with secretly communicating with the barbarians and plotting treason. Shen Rong, Yuan Hancheng and others were involved in Dong Yuan's death.
During the original case, he was imprisoned at this time, and it seemed that he could not escape death. Only Zhang Yan suffered from mental madness and escaped, but he was imprisoned in the house and could hardly find freedom.
Miao Shuo and Yuan Jianhai both knew in their hearts that Lin Fu wanted to make concessions to show that the new empire he created was not usurped, so they could bear not to kill them two for the time being, but when Lin Fu became emperor,
What awaits them may be a glass of poisonous wine or a piece of white silk.
Lin Fu didn't intend to scare Miao Shuo and Yuan Jianhai. Liang was just a dying person. If she got angry, let her do it. He didn't force himself into Wanshou, so he turned around and led the generals outside the palace.
Watching Yuan Yan coming from a distance.
Lin Fu stood there, looking at her, although she was not as innocent as she was in her early years, but her face was becoming more and more beautiful, and there was still a familiar expression between her eyebrows under her raven-colored hair, and asked: "I haven't seen her for a long time. Are you in the palace?"
Is everything okay in here?"
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Yuan Yan. There is no inconvenience for Yuan Yan," Yuan Yan bowed and saluted, "The great cause of the Northern Expedition was accomplished, the mountains and rivers were no longer broken, and the people's livelihood also needed to rest. Yuan Yan just came to say congratulations..."
Lin Fu laughed and said: "When I returned to Jiangning, everyone in the Yuan family had tense faces, as if I had done something wrong by leading the army to the northern expedition and regaining the Central Plains. Yuan Yan is the only one who came to congratulate me."
He laughed, stared at Yuan Yan's face as white as mutton-fat jade, and said, "I want to ask you something?"
"What's the matter, please tell me, Mr. Guo?" Yuan Yan asked.
"Will you marry me?" Lin Fu asked.
"If it is for the sake of the Anyuan family, I forgive Yuan Yan for not being able to obey her life. I will live in the nunnery without any regrets..." Yuan Yan lowered her head and said.
Lin Fu smiled, stretched out his hand to take Yuan Yan's tender and tender hand, and said: "I rode all the way south from Yanjing, and what I thought about most was when I woke up at the head of Yangxin City and saw that innocent and innocent Zhang.
With an evil face, I just want to do my best in my life to prevent her from being harmed in the slightest. So, I want to marry you..."
Yuan Yan blushed with embarrassment and did not dare to look at the generals around Lin Fu, but she did not pull her hand back.
Hu Wenmu, Song Fu, Lin Tingli, Lin Xuwen, Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Liu Zhi, Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu and others looked around, at the roof, at the blue sky, but they seemed not to have seen or heard what had just happened.
