Han Qian planned that Feng Liao would also take charge of the affairs of the Chishan Society, so Feng Liao, Su Lie, Han Donghu, Lin Sheng, He Liufeng, Guo Xiao and others moved to a side hall to discuss more specific matters.
Guo Rongze also had to rush to attend to school affairs.
There are currently 4,500 or 600 people gathered in Baitigang, and teenagers and children aged ten to fifteen years old account for almost a quarter.
Previously, we were incorporated into the youth camp and conducted some basic drills, mainly to maintain order within the camp in a more orderly manner, completely seal the loopholes through which hostile forces could infiltrate and spy, and also to help the strong laborers do what they could.
things.
Now that supplies from Xuzhou can be directly supported, the conditions in the camp need to be improved a lot, and a two-year junior school to popularize literacy and basic arithmetic needs to be established first.
Guo Rong had no place to use in Baiti Gang, so he found some people with literacy and arithmetic skills from the old Zuo Guangde Army and took over the matter.
The current conditions are still very simple. There is no classroom that can accommodate seven to eight hundred teenagers. In the past, dozens of piles were taught in the open space for half a day when the weather was fine. The weather was about to get colder, and Guo Rong had to take these teenagers to participate in bamboo training.
The building of the house.
Real camp construction does not end with building hundreds or thousands of thatched huts so that seven or eight people or a dozen people can squeeze into one hut without freezing to death.
If it were just like that, they would be no different from a refugee camp.
Feng Yi was lazy and stayed beside Han Qian to talk.
He saw that what was laid out before Han Qian's case was a map of Huainan. The map not only marked the Huaidong counties, Hongzepu, Fanliang Lake and Shaobo Lake, but also marked the Huaihe River in the north, the Yangtze River in the south, and Huoshou Lake.
The topography of Huaixi prefectures and counties such as Haochu, Shoushu, etc. has been mapped.
Looking at the dense annotations written by Han Qian on this map, it can be seen that even though Han Qian stayed in Baitigang to preside over the construction of the camp, he always paid attention to the war in Chaozhou and the movements on both sides of the Huaihe River.
Feng Yi asked: "You seem to be worried that the situation will change unexpectedly again. However, Li Zhigao is as steady as an old dog in Chaozhou. How could something happen?"
"Yes, Li Zhigao is also a man who knows soldiers and is good at fighting, and he has chosen the most reliable tactics, so there should be no problems. However, Liang Jun in Yingzhou has made no moves at all, which makes people feel uneasy."
Han Qian did not hide that he was worried about the current situation.
Speaking of which, Yang Yuanpu was too suspicious of Xuzhou. Jinyun Tower was changed to Jinyun Division, which seemed to have greatly strengthened his authority. However, the intelligence network established by Han Qian in the early days of Liang State was almost all gone because the relevant personnel had withdrawn to Chu State.
All efforts are in vain.
The previous military intelligence spying system on the Liang State by the Privy Council Staff Division also collapsed due to the Jinling Incident. Even under the auspices of Li Pu, the Privy Council Staff Division was re-establishing its military intelligence spying on the Liang Kingdom, and also cooperated with Han Qian
, has nothing to do with Xuzhou.
Except that when Han Qian was on his mission to Shu, he left some direct descendants of Xuzhou lurking in Shu. He also just decided to rebuild an intelligence network near Gyeonggi, so there is no way to collect intelligence and spy on Liang.
On the other hand, Xuzhou's resources are not yet rich to this extent. At most, others are sending a few scouts to Baitigang to sneak into the north bank of the Huaihe River to collect some superficial intelligence.
Han Qian closed the map, temporarily putting some worrying thoughts behind him, and said with a smile: "If I am not in my position, I will not pursue my political affairs. If the Chishan Army had not set up the main hall here, I would not have bothered myself.
Already."
Han Qian had long realized that Liang Emperor Zhu Yu was an extremely difficult opponent, but if Shiliang County was not a narrow place, which was the most suitable place for the Chishan Society to take root, he would not have cared about the possibility that the Chu army would attack. Liang Jun suffered a big loss at his hands.
"If you can really imitate my heartlessness, then you really won't have any worries." Feng Yi said with a smile.
Han Qian laughed.
Feng Yi thought of this and said to Han Qian: "It has been four months since Xue Ruogu took up his post in Lishui. His correspondence with Shen Yang has become more frequent recently. I believe he should have a good grasp of the truth about the assassination case. …”
"Now that we have colluded with Huaidong, and the news has reached Xue Ruogu's ears, we still don't know whether his mind will change." Han Qian said with a sigh.
Xue Ruogu is straightforward by nature, but that doesn't mean he's stupid.
Xue Ruogu had previously suspected that his appointment to Lishui was a secret operation on their part. Now if news spreads that Xuzhou and Huaidong are colluding, will he have other associations and even be the first to detect clues about Chishan Society's activities? Not sure.
Some people cannot be led by others. Han Qian can only arrange people to keep an eye on the matter, but cannot decide anything for Xue Ruogu.
Speaking of which, the former Zuo Guangde Army was persecuted beyond Han Qian's imagination. As a result, he was unable to formulate a comprehensive plan at the beginning. There were some disconnects at this time, but he could only focus on the big ones and let go of the small ones. Take one step at a time.

…………
Not only the Cishou Palace family, after Yao Xishui returned to Jinling on the Weaving Bureau's procurement ship, he found that everyone inside and outside Jinling was talking about the Xuzhou merchant ship being loaded with goods and stationed in Yangzhou. It can be seen that this incident had great influence on the Chu government and the public. The impact was far greater and far-reaching than just Xuzhou sending the cargo of two merchants to Yangzhou for sale.
In September, the rice fields on both sides of the Qiupu River are covered with golden waves, and the farmers in the fields are filled with the joy of harvest.
This is mainly the scene of the Changchun Palace and the farms affiliated to Taowu Jijunfu. However, Lishui, Jiangcheng, northwest Quishi, Nanling, Fanchang and other counties in the south suffered from the impact of the Jinling Incident that lasted for more than a year, resulting in a significant reduction in population. The situation of large areas of abandoned fields has not been fundamentally alleviated by this time, and the situation is much worse.
In addition, the three states of Surunchang, as well as Chizhou and Jiangzhou in the west, which were deeply affected by the Jinling War, have not yet recovered.
However, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the Jiangbei war, there was no exemption for the money and grain collected, which made the people's livelihood in the counties of Gyeonggi and those most affected by the war more and more difficult.
Of course, the impact of the Jinling Incident was limited to a certain extent and did not cause a devastating blow to the agricultural production in Jiangnan East Road.
If they could cultivate themselves for three to five more years, the counties of Gyeonggi and the prefectures of Surun and Changchi would almost be able to recover.
Yao Xishui disguised herself as a man, and rode out of Changchun Palace with her maid Ye Feiying on horseback, and entered Jinling City from Donghua City. She looked like a handsome man from an aristocratic family, returning from a trip with his beautiful maid, and turned from Jinhe Lane to Yongning Lane to build the building. Ninghou General Li's Mansion.
Yao Xishui and Su Hongyu both came from Wanhonglou, so they went to Jianning Mansion to look for Su Hongyu to express their love for sisters. Even if they fell into the eyes of interested people, they were not afraid of what others would say. At most, they would make people think that there was still someone there at Cishou Palace. To win over Li Zhigao.
Of course, no matter how others talk behind the scenes about the incompatibility between the Queen Mother and Emperor Yanyou, they are still mother and son. In the eyes of most people, this subtle detail will not affect the overall situation of the court.
Before Li Zhigao took Nasu Hongyu as his concubine, he had married the Zhou family who came from a poor family. However, during the Jinling Incident, when the people from Xinchanghou Mansion and the Prince's Mansion fled Jinling City, the Zhou family was frightened and fell ill after arriving in Yueyang.
Soon he spent all his money and died of illness.
Although Su Hongyu could not truly become Mrs. Hou due to her birth, Li Zhigao, a soldier in the army, never remarried. Su Hongyu also took the son and daughter born to his wife, Zhou, into her lap and raised her. In fact, she
She is the mistress of Jianninghou Mansion.
Su Hongyu's residence in Jianninghou Mansion is called Shuqiu Tower. The yard has a meandering pond and flowing water, surrounded by rockery and pavilions. To the north and south is a three-high wooden building, which is exquisitely and elegantly built with carved beams and painted pillars, making it very gorgeous.
Yao Xishui and her maid Ye Feiying followed the maids of the Hou Mansion to the wooden building. Su Hongyu was standing on the railing, looking at the golden ginkgo trees in the garden.
Su Hongyu turned around and saw Yao Xishui coming up the stairs. She asked the maids around her to step back first, and asked: "I heard the day before yesterday that you just went to Suzhou to purchase Lingluo. Why did you come back so quickly?"
"It's just an excuse to go to Suzhou to buy silk ribbons," Yao Xishui said. "I got news before that there was a ship from Xuzhou going to Yangzhou, and it stayed outside the Yangzhou River for seven or eight days. This thing is very strange. I took Chun Shisanniang
Rush over and take a look."
"Oh, I heard people talking about this in the city. Many people didn't believe it. Just imagine that during the Jinling Incident, King Xin was very ambitious and had great potential to swallow up the Yangtze River and Huaihe River and ascend to the throne, but he was defeated by Han Qian.
"With King Xin's aloofness, how could he possibly flirt with Xuzhou?" Su Hongyu said.
"I'm afraid this is true. We not only saw Yangzhou officials boarding the Xuzhou merchant ship, but also saw Feng Yi in Yangzhou at this time." Yao Xishui said.
"Ah, it really happened..." Although many people in the court believed that it was natural for Xuzhou and Huaidong to collude after the recapture of Chaozhou, Su Hongyu was more or less surprised and said with emotion.
However, she also knew that Feng Yi's appearance in Yangzhou was actually more meaningful than the two Syrian merchant ships entering Yangzhou. After pondering for a while, she sighed: "In the face of the situation, the so-called aloofness is nothing, but so
Now, the situation between the DPRK and China must be complicated again! I don’t know how His Majesty will react when he finds out about this."
"How can he react? Hasn't he been played by Han Qian all the time?" Yao Xishui seemed to be disdainful, but her expression was very solemn as she asked, "You crossed the river to visit your eldest brother a few days ago.
Have you decided when to take Chaozhou City?"
"The Chaozhou defenders are advocating that Liang Jun will send troops south at any time, and their morale has not completely collapsed. Zhigao wants to delay it for another half month, but he will also capture Chaozhou City before the Huaihe River freezes, right?"
Su Hongyu crossed the river to meet Li Zhigao a few days ago, but she didn't specifically ask about the war arrangements. At this time, she just told Yao Yishui her guess,
"It's just that both the enemy and ourselves have relatively clear expectations for this. For the defenders, as long as they can grit their teeth and endure this period of time, or can ask Zhigao to relieve the siege, morale and fighting will will tend to strengthen..."
"In order to avoid long nights and long dreams, and to what extent Huaidong secretly colludes with Xuzhou, the elder brother still needs to capture Chaozhou City as soon as possible and focus on the management of Chaozhou and Chuzhou. Then he will not be afraid of Xuzhou
What kind of tricks are you playing with Huaidong? You still need to say a few words of thanks in the letter to your elder brother." Yao Xishui still felt that Li Zhigao should capture Chaozhou City as soon as possible, and then take the opportunity of the confrontation with the Shouzhou rebels to win over the generals.
, the plan they made to run Chaozhou is the first step...
