On the beautifully carved bench, there is a majestic tiger skin, with a huge head bent on the armrest, the tiger's eyes are hollow, and the tiger's teeth are exposed.
His Highness Prince Yu was leaning back, feeling the softness of the tiger skin, holding a small yellow dog in his right hand, and there were even a few playing around on the recliner.
On the other side, gathered four or five steps away, a big yellow dog was lying depressed and cautiously, looking at its owner and the playful puppies, its big eyes worried and expectant.
Tiger skin is too intimidating.
As a domesticated Lao Huang, he was the most valuable property in the family when he was poor. From Dashanguan to Hanzhong, and then to Xiangyang, he lived a very stable life, with three wives and four concubines arranged, and the old tree blossomed, and he had no regrets.
After rubbing Gouzi's little head, Zhu Yixi looked calm and said calmly: "As far as I know, He Tengjiao used Jiangxi's money and food to train 10,000 soldiers and horses!"
Zhao Shu and Zhang Shenyan made a gesture of listening. Sun Changzhou stood up and bowed: "That's right. He summoned Fu Shangrui, Yan Qiheng and other Huguang scholars to train troops and dispatch generals."
"Are they all literati?"
Zhao Shu said in surprise.
"They are all literati." Sun Changzhou replied.
"Governor He is truly a wonderful thinker who trains soldiers with literati. He is worthy of being a pillar of the country."
Zhu Yixi curled her lips and said sarcastically: "I would like to see how he is."
"Give him a way out. In addition, I also allow him to purchase military supplies to solve the imperial court's worries."
Zhang Shenyan noticed King Yu's thoughts, glanced at Zhao Shu again, and said tentatively: "If Governor He arrives in Guizhou and joins forces with local troops to send troops, although he can attack Yunnan, he will also be a threat to Huguang."
"Threat? No mention of it!"
Zhao Shu was disdainful in his heart and said calmly: "Soldiers and horses who have not been in battle are not even as good as ordinary auxiliary soldiers. Our local garrison is enough to beat him to pieces."
"Eh!" King Yu interrupted him and said solemnly: "We are loyal to the imperial court. Don't mention any threats. This is a way of stirring up trouble."
As he spoke, he smiled and said confidently: "Governor He is not so unwise after thinking about it. Jiujiang's water cannot breed idiots."
Everyone understood and laughed.
Prime Minister Hui Deng and Bai Wang were stationed in Jiujiang. How could such rough men allow He Tengjiao to benefit? With soldiers and horses threatening him, he didn't know how powerful King Yu was.
At this time, Feng Xianzong, the head of the General Staff Department who did not have a strong sense of presence, chuckled and said: "Governor He went to Guizhou, wouldn't the other half of Jiujiang be free?"
"What about Jiujiang?" Zhu Yixi petted the dog and began to think.
As the gateway to Jiangxi Province, Jiujiang is very sensitive.
Jiangxi, a place where people gather together, has rich agriculture and a large number of people, is much better than Huguang, which is vast and sparsely populated. Of course he wants it.
However, how could Jiangxi, as the grain bag of the Hongguang court, be handed over?
Huguang and Sichuan haven't eaten all, so don't worry for a while.
"It's just limited to Jiujiang."
King Yu's eyes narrowed and he said without any doubt: "Without my military order, no one is allowed to cross Jiujiang and provoke the imperial court."
"Yes!" Feng Xianzong nodded quickly.
"Your Highness, if you take full control of Jiujiang, you can recruit people from Jiangxi to farm and reclaim wasteland."
At this time, Zhao Shu suddenly became excited: "Whether it is to reclaim farmland or to repair the official road of the inn, we need people, a lot of people."
"Jiangxi is a province with dense households and narrow fields, which is perfect for recruitment."
"Yeah?"
Zhu Yixi's brows relaxed and she smiled: "I didn't expect there would be such benefits. I still have to borrow this."
"Strictly monitor his troops and not allow them to plunder the people or disrupt people's livelihood. I have finally stabilized Huguang, but I can't mess with it anymore."
"Then what should we do if it happens?"
Zhang Shenyan asked cautiously.
"Kill without mercy!"
King Yu said lightly: "Our military discipline is not only strict on ourselves, but also strict on others."
"Even officers and soldiers?"
"Even officers and soldiers."
Zhu Yixi said word for word: "Those who violate the law will never be allowed in Huguang, otherwise, I will kill them."
With Prince Yu's oral report, everyone felt confident and began to arrange the route.
Zhu Yixi was impatient, stood up and came to Dahuang. Watching him wagging his tail happily and sticking out his tongue, he couldn't help but think of the embarrassing life in Xi'an.
At that time, I wanted to sell my dog more than once to make a living.
But, after selling the dog, what is left? What happens next?
"Dahuang, I said, follow me and you won't suffer any loss!"
Scratching his chin, Zhu Yixi looked softly and said with emotion: "Now you are like a dog with a wife, and you are happier than a human being."
In the three months since he traveled back in time, it was the companionship of the yellow dog that allowed him to recover, accept the reality, and seize the opportunity to jump.
The Chief Medical Officer, the Chief Craftsman, the Traveling Officer, the Chief Soldier, the King of Hanyang, and the King of Yu all jumped step by step, no less than a carp leaping over a dragon gate.
Licking the palm of his hand, Dahuang didn't know what his owner was thinking.
"Cowardly puppy!" Zhu Yixi shook her head. The timidity engraved in her genes would make even a tiger's skin fearful.
"Your Highness, the line has been fixed..."
Zhao Shu hurriedly stood up and recounted the results of the discussion among several people.
Everyone looked down upon He Tengjiao's strength.
Although the Western bandits are weak, they are not something that officers and soldiers can defeat, especially those who have traveled thousands of miles to Yunnan to suppress the bandits.
Therefore, this is destined to be a futile effort.
For Zhu Yixi, He Tengjiao is equivalent to a pioneer.
Without his failure, how can he set off his success?
Only when the imperial court failed to suppress the bandits could he have an opportunity.
When the time comes to reach out to the clouds and Guizhou Province, it can be said that it will be a matter of course.
…
Jiujiang.
After He Tengjiao learned about the imperial edict, he was instantly confused.
I couldn’t help but grit my teeth in hatred towards Ma Shiying,
It's really okay for a fellow countryman to cheat on a fellow countryman.
Is it that easy to take down the Western Thief?
Compared to the Nanjing court, he could see clearly.
In the world today, the first-class army is the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, followed by the King of Yu, the Chuang bandits, the Western bandits, and finally the officers and soldiers of the imperial court.
"The imperial court is trying to push me into a pit of fire."
On the side, Fu Shangduan frowned and said: "Governor Xian, Jiujiang is like a dead place now. The soldiers of King Yu are watching with eager eyes. Every move is in front of you, making it difficult to move."
"Instead of staying in Jiujiang and being a nominal governor, it is better to go to Guizhou, take control of Yunnan and Guizhou, and then directly target the King of Yu from his heart."
He Tengjiao squinted his eyes and hesitated. He didn't yearn for a real governor, but the Western thieves were really difficult to deal with.
Yan Qiheng said softly: "If you move trees, they will die and people will live. The governor has been in Jiujiang for half a year and has aroused the disgust of the court. Changing the place is the only way."
Listening to both of them persuading, He Tengjiao became more and more shaken, with a tangled expression on his face.
He walked up and down, looking at the picture of a tiger descending from the mountain in the hall. Its ferocious face made people fearful, and they couldn't help but say:
"It's not that I have no intention of Guizhou. In fact, the bandits from the West are coming so fiercely that I'm afraid I won't be able to resist them and will live up to the Holy Grace."
"The Governor of the Constitution can only be put on the shelf now. The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be refused."
Fu Shangduan said in a deep voice.
"Words from the military."
At this time, Yan Qiheng suddenly raised his head and said with piercing eyes: "Since Zuo Liangyu was defeated by King Yu, he is now in a downturn in Nanjing. Why doesn't Governor Xian win over him?"
"Zuo Liangyu?"
He Tengjiao was stunned, and then his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Although Zuo Liangyu is domineering and his military discipline is lax, he has experienced battles for a long time and is much better than their armies on paper.
Besides, the army belongs to oneself, how can a veteran general act indiscriminately?
