It is particularly cold in Jiangning City in the twelfth lunar month. The exposed soil and walls are so cold that they turn white, the grass is blown by the wind, and the withered yellow leaves are swirling in the corners of the alleys...
Lin Fu walked to the Wanshou Palace, held up the saber tied to his waist, looked up at the dark green palace forehead under the eaves inlaid with gold wire, and then stepped up the cloud steps - this is where the Empress Dowager Liang lives in Yanjing. Wanshou Palace, everything in Jiangning is based on the system of Yanjing. Naturally, there is also Wanshou Palace, but the regulations are much smaller.
The imperial city of Jiangning cannot be compared with Yanjing; the imperial family Yuan's scenery in Jiangning naturally cannot be compared with that in Yanjing.
Huang Jinnian, Shen Rong, Liu Zhi, Yuan Jinqiu, Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others had already been waiting in front of the palace gate to be summoned. Lin Fu climbed up the steps and walked under the eaves of the palace. He saw the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the noble clan members. There were only a handful of people standing in front of the palace, thinking that if the Yuan family was not destroyed, who would be?
Lin Fu was thinking wildly in his mind, but when he saw everyone, he had a smile on his face and said, "My lords, you are not too late!"
Shen Rong glanced at the saber on Lin Fu's waist. It was an eyesore, and he felt annoyed: How could he come up with such a bad idea with the Queen Mother?
Lin Fu led his army to regain the imperial capital, and his achievements were unprecedented since the founding of the dynasty. Naturally, this reward will not be small.
Shen Rong was afraid that everything would fall into Huaidong's control, so he suggested that the Queen Mother should temporarily put aside the discussion of rewards for Lin Fu and Huaidong people on the grounds that Emperor Yongxing had not returned, at least until he followed Emperor Yongxing. After all the officials who fled west returned to Jiangning, it was possible to slightly restrict Huaidong. However, Lin Fu refused to enter the palace to meet, and everything in the imperial city was still under the control of the Huaidong army, and the Queen Mother could not do anything. He didn't say anything, so before summoning him, he made a special edict to show his respect to Lin Fu by "carrying a sword to the palace and attending without worshiping."
Lin Fu came over, and Song Jia quickly walked out of the palace to greet him. He leaned over and said, "Feng Yu Song has met Duke Pengcheng and all the gentlemen. The Queen Mother invites all the gentlemen to come into the palace to discuss matters. King Hailing has been waiting in the palace for a long time." Already..."
Fengyu is a provincial official title within the palace, usually held by eunuchs. Female historians can only serve as ministers, ministers and other palace officials.
However, whenever necessary, any official title can be created.
Miao Shuo went to Chongzhou to serve the Liang family, and his official title was Wanshou Palace Fengyu. Now Huaidong wants to control Wanshou Palace, and the position of Wanshou Palace Fengyu will naturally be divided into left and right. Miao Shuo occupies the left Fengyu Palace. , Song Jia served as the right minister.
In today's world, women rarely appear in public, and their names are often kept secret.
Even when she was in Jiangning City, Song Jia only walked around a lot with the female relatives of high-ranking officials. Even though Song Jia gave Zhang Yubo, Zhao Shuhan and others a startling glimpse, over the years, it has been difficult for old friends to recognize her as the former Jiangning Jin. The old man who serves as an envoy.
Even those who pay attention to the secrets of the She family's inner house only know that the two extremely beautiful sisters-in-law have long been "buried" in the sea. Even if someone looks familiar, how can they guess the extremely weird twists and turns of the story behind them?
The secret of Song Jia's life experience has been lost in the clouds of the past. In Huaidong, even Huang Jinnian only knew that she was Lin Fu's favorite concubine.
Lin Fu smiled, put his hand on the sword on his waist, and said "please" to Shen Rong and others. Before Shen Rong and the others could be polite, he climbed up the steps - Shen Rong felt depressed. , and had nothing to say. If the Empress Dowager hadn't summoned him, he wouldn't even be qualified to enter the palace at the same time as Lin Fu, Huang Jinnian, Liu Zhi and others.
After paying homage, Lin Fu was granted a seat by the Empress Dowager Liang. Seeing Yuan Yan also wearing court service and standing behind the Empress Dowager Liang, he smiled slightly and said to the Empress Dowager Liang: "After my minister Lin Fu arrived in Jiangning, he felt cold and unwell. Is it okay to see you?"
Because of the wind, I was unable to enter the palace in time to see the Queen Mother. Please don’t blame the Queen Mother..."
"Lin Qing is also devoted to the court. Don't think about this matter anymore," Empress Dowager Liang replied indifferently. "Since Lin Qing is in good health, Lin Qing and other ministers will have to work harder to take care of the affairs of the court..."
"It is the duty of an minister to ask for orders for the people and to be loyal to the imperial court. I dare not resign." Lin Fu said.
"The emperor went to Luzhou for a hunting tour and could not come back for a while; the Ai family was also old and frail, so it was really difficult for the ministers to pull him out to preside over the state affairs. Now the clan is in Jiangning City, and only King Hailing and Yongchang
"You two, what will happen next? King Hailing and Marquis Yongchang will come to serve as advisers to the Ai family. What does Lin Qing think?" Empress Dowager Liang asked Lin Fu inquiringly.
Since the founding of the Yue Dynasty, strict measures have been taken to prevent the clan from interfering in political affairs. However, "the family, the country, and the world" were about to perish, and the emperors all fled the imperial capital. At this time, the clan's children stepped forward to participate in national affairs, thinking that it was an expedient policy and a matter of course.
As long as Prince Hailing is not given the official status of supervising the country and is allowed to participate in politics, the pressure on Luzhou can be increased.
There are only a handful of people that Empress Dowager Liang can use and trust in Jiangning. Yuan Jinqiu is not only the queen of the clan, but also the son of Empress Dowager Liang's sister. Yuan returned to power, and Yuan Jinsheng is an important pillar of the remaining power of the Liang family——
Although Yuan Jinqiu was unruly by nature, if Empress Dowager Liang didn't use Yuan Jinqiu, who else could she use? On the contrary, Mu Guogong and Marquis Yongchang were both nobles, but I think Empress Dowager Liang also knew from Shen Rong that the old Duke Guo and Huaidong
The intimate relationship was kicked aside.
Lin Fu had read the posthumous letter given to him by the old Duke. The old Duke had no intention of involving the children of the Zeng family in the whirlpool. Even though he disappeared from the public, it was also a blessing to the children of the Zeng family.
On the other hand, maybe Yuan Guizheng is already on his way to Jiangning at this time - if Empress Dowager Liang wants to break away from Jiangning's control in the future, the remaining forces of the Liang family led by Liang Chengchong, Liang Chengyi, Yuan Guizheng and others will be her.
He has a really usable chess piece in his hand; but Huaidong cannot tolerate trouble in Nanyang.
Although the Queen Mother is old, her heart is still strong. This is not a good thing for Huaidong, but she still has to compromise. Lin Fu frowned and pondered for a while, and said: "King Hailing will naturally be dedicated to the country. According to the Queen Mother,
There is nothing wrong with what I said," he paused and then said, "The most important things at the moment are to send people to Luzhou to report the victory and welcome the emperor back to preside over state affairs; the other is that millions of people in Jiangning City are waiting for food, and the Huaidong Army
The defense is very tight, and if the government offices are delayed for one day, hundreds and thousands of people will be in trouble. As long as people's livelihood can be settled, there will be no chaos in the world, and the aftermath will be simple and easy..."
In the past two or three days, Lin Fu and everyone from Huaidong did not show up directly. It was Huang Jinnian and Liu Zhi who negotiated specifically on behalf of Huaidong. After the tone of the two matters was set, Lin Fu was summoned to the palace today, and it was just
Show a gesture.
To carry the imperial edict to Luzhou to greet him, there was no more suitable candidate besides Liu Zhi. Emperor Yongxing had not returned to Jiangning, so Zhang Yubo could only have the right to know the Jiangning Mansion, but could not officially serve as the governor of Jiangning. But this was enough.
Okay. Apart from Zhang Yubo, there is no other person who is more acceptable to everyone as the candidate for Jiangning Prefecture.
In addition to the immediate reorganization of Luzhou Yingjia and Jiangning government offices, the court must maintain its operations, and there are countless aftermath matters to be dealt with.
Even if Emperor Yongxing and many officials returned to Jiangning without any struggle, taking advantage of the defeat of Huizhou and the abandonment of the capital to carry out purges and reshuffle the officials of the six ministries, it was inevitable. Not only Huaidong had to do it, but also the Empress Dowager Liang and Hai If the King of Ling wants to gain a foothold in the court, they must lead Huaidong by the nose to do these things.
Most of the officials in Jiangning, before the city of Jiangning was destroyed, followed the emperor and abandoned the capital and fled westward. There was great care in who should be captured, who should be retained, who should be suppressed, and who should be won over.
Even if Jiangning, the defense of the imperial city, and the Suwei were all under the strict control of the Huaidong soldiers and horses, it does not mean that the Empress Dowager Liang, King Hailing, Shen Rong, and others did not have their own interests to compete for in these matters.
If Huaidong wanted to successfully welcome Emperor Yongxing back and avoid Jiangnan from suddenly falling into division, some interests would have to give way - except for Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan, Hu Wenmu and other military commanders who fled westward with the emperor. Officials should not be too harsh in suppressing them and should be comforted as necessary.
The Empress Dowager Liang proposed that Prince Hailing and Marquis Yongchang participate in political affairs. Lin Fu followed suit and agreed, allowing Yuan Jianhai and Yuan Jinqiu to participate in the decision-making of the aftermath.
As long as he keeps the military power in his hands, he can completely overthrow it and start over if he doesn't like how to deal with the aftermath.
After all, Empress Dowager Liang's energy was low, and her body and bones were far less capable of suffering than Lin Fu. After discussing the aftermath for only half an hour, she looked very tired.
Seeing the old Queen Mother yawning, Yuan Jianhai stood up and asked to leave. Lin Fu couldn't be so shameless as to drag her away and waste the Queen Mother's energy.
*****************
It is impossible for Huaidong to give up its dominant position. How to decide the aftermath? To put it bluntly, Song Fu, Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting, and Qin Chengzu discussed the specific details behind the scenes. Huang Jinnian represented Huaidong to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss with Yuan Jianhai and Yuan Jin. Qiu, Shen Rong and the others bargained and finally came up with a plan that made everyone "happy" - Lin Fu would not participate in the specific discussion if he was fine.
However, today was the official first meeting to deal with the aftermath. Lin Fu had to go to the political hall just to show off. He couldn't throw the matter aside right away. At least he had to wait until Lin Xuwen came back before he could be the boss.
The Queen Mother was tired, so Lin Fu and Yuan Jianhai led the ministers to retire and go to the Political Affairs Hall to discuss matters. In name, they wanted to discuss something here before asking the Queen Mother to make a decision.
Zhang Yubo had the right to know Jiangning Mansion, so he asked the Jiangning Mansion Office to resume work first and take over the relief work, which was the most urgent matter at present. In winter, the weather in Jiangning was extremely cold. In the past three or two days, Lin Fu arranged for the Huaidong Army to attack the refugees in the city. Relief was carried out, but many bodies that died of starvation and freezing were still carried out of the city for burial every day.
Emperor Yongxing abandoned Jiangning and fled to the west. Before he left, the news spread throughout the city. Even the officials who were not qualified to accompany the emperor on hunting tours mostly fled out of the city before the rebels attacked.
The entire Jiangning government office, from the governor, to the general magistrates to the various officials who joined the army, almost escaped. Only a few low-level officials were busy and were trapped in the city. They were organized by Zhang Yubo and Chen Xiyan and retreated in time. He went to the imperial city to escape the war.
Zhang Yubo has the power to know Jiangning Mansion and can be accepted by everyone, but Zhang Yubo cannot handle the governance of Jiangning City alone.
The most critical thing is how to reorganize the Jiangning government army responsible for public security?
In other places, the government army and rural soldiers usually take care of city defense, but Jiangning City has always had a clear distinction between the garrison and the government army. The garrison was responsible for defense, and the government army was responsible for public security. Until Emperor Yongxing used Jiangning City as the imperial capital, The garrison army became the imperial camp army, and the imperial city and palace guards, as well as the imperial guards and horses, were under the jurisdiction of the imperial horse prison.
At the last moment, Jiangning's army, like the imperial army, also collapsed. Only two or three hundred people followed Zhang Yubo into the imperial city and did not become rebels; these troops will inevitably continue to be used.
Even if Jiangning does not count the subordinate counties, there are 150,000 naturalized households in the city. The government army has to be responsible for running the army, and only two to three hundred people are far from enough.
The Huaidong Army is now conducting a strict street cleaning of Jiangning City and investing more than 10,000 troops, but they feel that there is a big shortcoming.
Even under normal circumstances, the Jiangning Prefecture Army has ten battalions. If it is further compressed, it will still need three to five thousand men.
Lin Fu would directly hold the defense of Jiangning City, the imperial city, and the inner court guards in his hands, but the Jiangning government army responsible for the security of the city did not want to hold on too tightly, and wanted to give in so that others could see some hope.
Shen Rong and the others also knew in their hearts that Lin Fu's military plan against Jiang Ning was delusional.
It was not entirely wrong that Emperor Yongxing would rather abandon Jiangning and flee west than welcome the Huaidong Army into Jiangning.
Now that Lin Fu is willing to give some space, he also wants to arrange for the four thousand imperial soldiers and horses who did not collapse at the last moment and followed Chen Xiyan to retreat to the imperial city.
These troops had meritorious deeds, and Lin Fu could not forcibly disband them. They were all organized into government troops with relatively favorable conditions, and did not need to go to the battlefield. As long as they committed crimes and captured thieves inside and outside Jiangning City, it was considered a reward.
The Jiangning government army was controlled by the left and right Sikou. Lin Fu recommended Chen Enze, a direct descendant of Huaidong, as the left Sikou, responsible for the East City area including the Imperial City, Donghua Gate and Dongshui Gate. The right Sikou was served by Chen Xiyan, who was born in Juren, and guarded with Chen Xiyan. Fan Jiliang, who has made meritorious deeds in the imperial city, will be appointed. In addition, there will be another four-city school captain to place the generals of the original government army and imperial camp army who have made meritorious deeds.
As for the former officials of the Jiangning Prefecture and the generals of the government army, if they dare to come back, they will all be targeted for cleanup. At least when Emperor Yongxing abandoned Jiangning and fled westward, these people were arranged to stay behind; the six ministries and other central officials can still be said to Ordered to escort him westward.
In addition, Lin Fu also imposed strict restrictions on the armaments of Jiangning's army. The weapons were mainly sticks, shields, spears, and leather armor. The proportion of bowmen and crossbowmen was reduced to less than 10%. Piercing armor was banned. Bows and crossbows with more than eight buckets of crossbows were prohibited. The armaments limited the Jiangning Prefecture Army to the position of security forces.
After deciding on this matter, the Political Affairs Hall directly implemented an expedient measure. They signed a seal and signed a petition in the name of the Queen Mother. Zhang Yubo, Chen Enze, and Fan Jiliang summoned the generals to give instructions and strive to defeat the enemy as soon as possible. Public security affairs in the city were taken over.
Lin Fu left the political hall at noon and returned to Chenyuan. Zhang Yubo took the seal and sued. Chen Enze led an elite team of the Huaidong Army to the Jiangning government office to take charge of the affairs. Huang Jinnian was left in the political hall to discuss the future with Yuan Jianhai. Aftermath matters.
During the lunch break, Huang Jinnian occupied the west wing, Yuan Jianhai, Shen Rong, and Yuan Jinqiu naturally went to the east wing. The situation could not help Yuan Jinqiu neutralize the situation. Although he had inherited the title, the final decision was still made in the Yongchang Marquis Mansion. His father Yuan returned to power in Nanyang, and he was only dragged into the whirlpool as a representative of the Yongchang Houfu. Perhaps his father or his younger brother Yuan Jinsheng came back and would immediately take his place.
"This Pengcheng master's arms are not too tight!" Yuan Jianhai sighed. He was not dissatisfied with the handling of Jiangning's army. Zhang Yubo can be regarded as an official of the Dongyang department, but he is also an unusual one among the officials of the Dongyang department. , he was not liked by Gu Wuchen in his early years. After the Huaisi War, he lived alone in Xuzhou City with Chen Hansan. After the Xuzhou War, he returned to Jiangning and had no deep entanglement with Huaidong - not only Shen Rong understood this, but Yuan Jian Hai was also heard in Chongzhou.
Not counting Zhang Yubo, among the personnel directly deployed by Huaidong to the Jiangning Mansion Office, only Chen Enze can be considered a direct descendant. Fan Jiliang was an aide to former Prime Minister Chen Xiyan and a Jiangnan scholar. He was considered a member of the Wu Party, and the other government troops The generals are all selected from the original government army and imperial camp army, so they should be more loyal to the emperor.
Shen Rong shook his head, but didn't say anything in detail.
Yuan Jinqiu knew in his heart that the Queen Mother was said to be a very powerful character, but seeing that she made sure to pull Shen Rong on the boat on the way to Jiangning, it was clear that if it was just the King of Hailing, Huaidong would dig a hole Let him jump in, and he will most likely not notice it. After Emperor Yongxing abandoned Jiangning and left, most of the people who did not collapse in the imperial camp were those with children in the city, which is considered standard The local disciples are soldiers, so they can persist in not dispersing in times of danger.
Many of the people who remained in the Jiangning Prefectural Army were refugees from Dongyang who fled to Jiangning from the north bank of the Yangtze River during the Huaisi War. They settled in Jiangning under the favor of Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen and were recruited as generals of the Prefectural Army. Today it is under the direct jurisdiction of Huaidong general Liu Xilin - Zhang Yubo was serving as Zuo Sikou in Jiangning at that time, and he was also their immediate superior. Therefore, at the critical moment, these talents gathered in Zhang Yubo's house.
Even if this group of people cannot be regarded as direct descendants of Huaidong, they will not harm Huaidong's interests; Zhang Yubo can only be regarded as an alternative.
Speaking of the 3,000-strong Imperial Army that has not been dispersed, there are also many children whose families failed to escape to the imperial city in time and their families were destroyed. How could they continue to be loyal to the imperial family who abandoned the capital and fled?
Furthermore, the vast majority of these imperial army generals who all grew up in the city were born out of the original Jiangning garrison.
Over the years, the three people who have served as Jiangning's garrison generals are Qin Chengbo, Li Zhuo, and Cheng Yuqian. Those who are really supported by the lower-level generals, Qin Chengbo and Cheng Yuqian, cannot catch up with Li Zhuo even if they go a few blocks - accept Li Zhuo The person who made the most of his political legacy was none other than Lin Fu, the Duke of Pengcheng County. Gao Zongting, whom Li Zhuo had always trusted and who relied on him to preside over military affairs when he was governing Jiangning, was also the most important adviser around Lin Fu.
At the critical moment, the imperial city was guarded by Huaidong elites led by Gao Zongting and Zhao Hu. Who was qualified to compete with Huaidong to win over these imperial soldiers?
If King Hailing thought that he could control the newly organized Jiangning army by winning over Cheng Yuqian, he would be underestimating Huaidong's ability.
Fan Jiliang is Chen Xiyan's trusted aide, and Chen Xiyan has always been opposed to Huaidong - this was true before Emperor Yongxing abandoned Jiangning and fled westward, but now it is really hard to say what Fan Jiliang is thinking. At the critical moment, Chen Xiyan agreed with Huaidong The Eastern elite came in to help defend the imperial city. Is it not Chen Xiyan's compromise with Huaidong and reality?
One of the most important forces in the Wu Party, the Haiyu and Chen family, have openly defected to Huaidong. It is somewhat optimistic to expect that Fan Jiliang will still be loyal to the imperial family.
King Hailing could not see the reality hidden behind Huaidong, but Shen Rong's eyes were very sharp. Unfortunately, Huaidong's arrangement also made it difficult for Shen Rong to raise objections - something the Queen Mother and King Hailing could use in Jiangning. There are too few manpower.
Some seats must be filled urgently to stabilize the situation. The Queen Mother and King Hailing have no available manpower, so naturally they cannot stop Huaidong from arranging his own manpower.
****************
Although the war was short-lived, the pain it caused to the people was profound and heart-wrenching; the old days were suddenly changed beyond recognition, and it was extremely difficult to return to normal - not to mention the hundreds of thousands of war refugees.
There are 150,000 to 150,000 urban households in Jiangning City, with a population of 7 to 800,000. The daily consumption of rice, charcoal and other materials is astronomical.
In the past few days, the Huaidong Army has controlled Jiangning City. Lin Fu ordered the establishment of more than 60 porridge restaurants inside and outside the city. Every day, three thousand stones of rice were squeezed out of the Huaidong Army's supplies to feed the hungry people. However, Jiangning City was under control.
In just three or four days after the recovery, food prices rose rapidly to the point where brown rice cost ten taels of silver per stone.
Jiangning City also consumes a lot of coal in the cold winter. Although Huaidong was prepared before this, there are very few people and officials in the world who can properly manage a city with a population of one million.
Although Huaidong's material supply has to ensure the supply of nearly 100,000 troops entering the outskirts of Jiangning, there are still some leftovers that can be squeezed out to supply Jiangning City - Lin Fu ordered the Huaidong Army to hold on for a few days, and then Jiangning Mansion will
Take over this matter.
There are millions of hungry people and refugees in Jiangning City. If we relax for a moment, hundreds or even thousands of people may die.
Zhang Yubo directly took over this mess, and only then did he understand more deeply the difficulties involved and the ruthlessness of the She family.
There are tens of thousands of households in Jiangning City, with a population of 7 to 800,000. A considerable proportion of the basic materials necessary for daily life are supplied by the counties under Jiangning and the surrounding prefectures and counties such as Huizhou, Chizhou, and Danyang.
There was a shortage of rice grains, so most supplies were supplied from Jinghu, Xiangtan and other places in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
The counties around Taihu Lake, a land of plenty, have been severely damaged by the war. Secondly, these places have long been transformed from traditional food exporting areas into silk weaving industries. Take Haiyu County as an example, nearly half of the land is planted with mulberry and cotton, and the population
The density is so high that a large amount of grain must be imported from other counties to maintain demand.
This war lasted only a short time, but the counties south of Jiangning, including Huizhou and Chizhou, were severely damaged. After the fall of Jiangzhou, the Yangtze River to the west of Chizhou and Luzhou was completely cut off.
Don't expect that rice from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Jinghu, Xiangtan and other places will flow into Jiangning.
All of a sudden, the more than one million people in Jiangning city immediately formed a huge food gap that was difficult to fill. If this gap cannot be filled, and if it is not filled well, the situation in Jiangning will be difficult to say stable, and the Jianghuai defense line will be affected due to the
The shortage of money and food creates loopholes, making it difficult for Jiang Ning to continue to pursue the She family.
In the ninth year of Chongguan, the Yan rebels broke through the pass and invaded south, dug embankments and destroyed river water transport, and crippled Yannan, Shandong, Zhongzhou and other places. If the Dongyang system had not worked hard to develop the Tianjin-Hai grain road, more than two million stones would be transported to the north every year.
Mi Liang, the situation in Yanjing cannot be delayed for four or five years. The dangerous situation Jiangning is currently facing is no worse than that of Yanjing in the ninth year of Chongguan.
In the ninth year of Chongguan, Yannan was severely devastated, but the situation in the counties of Gyeonggi was better. Another reason was that the northern wealthy people had the habit of storing grain. After the Tianjin-Sea grain road was opened, the food crisis was alleviated. The price of rice has not been rising for a long time.
The surrender was due to Zhang Xie and other officials controlling the situation behind the scenes.
The commodity economy in the Jianghuai region is more developed, and large households are more focused on making profits from silk, salt and iron. Another reason is that Jianghuai, Zhejiang and other places have experienced long-term wars, which has kept the price of rice in Jianghuai at a high level for many years. In fact, it has also made various governments
The county's private grain reserves have been reduced to the extreme.
Zhang Yubo could understand to some extent why Lin Fu was eager to recommend him to Quanzhi Jiangning Mansion. He thought to himself that Lin Fu was anxious to throw the burden out - a tree wants bark and a person wants face. No matter how domineering the tyrant is, he will not
Maybe they completely ignored leaving their names in the history books. Even under the suppression of the army, the hungry people in Jiangning City could not cause big troubles, but if it were anyone else, who would be willing to shoulder the eternal crime of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people starving to death on their own shoulders?
The most urgent thing before Zhang Yubo was not the reorganization of the government army, nor the recruitment of subordinate officials, but also raising food relief and reducing food prices.
Zhang Yubo entered the Jiangning government office at noon. In the afternoon, Lin Mengde sent someone over to ask Zhang Yubo to take over the more than 60 porridge restaurants temporarily set up by the Huaidong Army in the city.
It's not that Lin Mengde deliberately made things difficult. In addition to the Changshan Army massing to the west of Jiangning, the movement was to block Yue Lengqiu to the west of the Qiupu River. Lin Fu also ordered Zhou Tong to lead the Chongcheng Army to recapture Huizhou and retake it.
At Yuling Pass, we must immediately mobilize all the troops and horses of the army camped in eastern Zhejiang and march towards western and central Zhejiang. We will not give the She family a chance to breathe. The Huaidong Army is also very tight in supplies.
