"Your Majesty, do you want to get up?" Xu Su's hair was draped on Li Xinchen's shoulders. It was obvious that she had not yet fully woken up, and she murmured.
"Yes, I'm going to the military camp today to take a look. After all, I'm going to go on an expedition as soon as possible." Li Xingchen gently shook her hand, "You can sleep a little longer, I don't have to wait for you."
"I will accompany Your Majesty to have dinner." Xu Su said hurriedly. She was certainly not the kind of lazy person. Li Xingchen had already gotten up, so there was no reason for her to stay in bed.
It’s different from Xiao Xiang.
"That's fine." Li Xingchen knew that Yuchi Chifan and Xiao Xiang wouldn't have gotten up at this time, and they would have to be busy dressing up when they got up. Anyway, there was no one to accompany them, so Xu Su volunteered, so why wouldn't he do it?
The chamberlains have already sent over a new batch of memorials. There are a lot of memorials this time, but Li Xingchen knows that most of them should be from the nearby prefectures and counties reporting the summer harvest situation to the office. The secretary supervisor has been sorting it out overnight, so
Most of them are marked with dark yellow, which symbolizes the summer harvest report and is also the color of harvest.
Yuan Dashe did not follow Li Xinchen to go north, mainly because the old chamberlain's physical condition was not as good as before, and he might not be able to bear the fatigue of travel, and Li Xinchen was not worried about Lechang staying alone in Jiankang Mansion, with Yuan Dashe
With this experienced old eunuch following him, at least Li Xingchen felt more at ease.
However, this also caused the inexperienced young eunuchs to make mistakes. The secretaries and eunuchs led by Huang Qi always had conflicts with them, and even Li Xinchen had to step in as the peacemaker. Li Xinchen didn't mind this at all.
If these chamberlains are really fraternizing with the officials of the Secretary's Supervisory Office, then Li Xingchen will be nervous. After all, they have almost a monopoly on information from the outside. Unless Li Xingchen directly uses white robes, it will actually be difficult to get past the internal affairs.
The supervisor and secretary supervisor have two levels of contact with the outside world.
This is why Li Xingchen has always insisted on walking around more and taking a look. Whether these people under his command are motivated by selfish desires or simply due to negligence at work, many important things may not be known to Li Xingchen. After all, the world is too big.
, and there is only one emperor. In the process of gathering countless messages, there are really too many opportunities that can be exploited.
Xu Su wanted to cook for Li Xinchen in person, and Li Xinchen was happy to have a taste of her cooking. He opened two memorials first, and the top one was marked urgent and was sent from Lingnan. Obviously, it was from the south.
Lin Yiguo was not very honest again and always wanted to encroach on the land of the newly established Ninan County to the north.
The armies of the Han Dynasty have begun to march north one after another, preparing to conquer the Central Plains. The only troops left in Lingnan are Li Xun and his troops. Together with the troops from Lingnan and Nanzhong, the total number is about 100,000, but Lingnan
There is also Mrs. Xian above each ministry, and each ministry in Nanzhong also belongs to Du Qi, the governor of Nanzhong. Fortunately for Du Qi, although Mrs. Xian has completely surrendered to the Han and has become a part of the Han, in the final analysis, she and Li Xun are not mutually exclusive.
Therefore, Li Xun only had around 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers and horses.
Now that the center of gravity of the Han Dynasty has moved northward, attention to Lingnan has declined. After the establishment of Jiaozhi County, the establishment of Rinan County to restore the Han Dynasty territory has also slowed down. The original Rinan County territory covered more than half of later Vietnam.
However, the current Rinan County actually only reaches Xijuan County (today's Guangzhi, Vietnam), and you must know that in the Eastern and Western Han Dynasties, the southern boundary of Rinan County extended to the area south of Xianglin (today's southwest of Hoi'an, Vietnam), and
Nishimaki, as the county seat at that time, was located in the middle of the entire county.
In other words, the scope of Ninan County actually controlled by Li Xun now is only half of the original Ninan County. In the final analysis, it is because of the continuous erosion of Linyi Kingdom to the north that Li Xun can only rely on the city to maintain the defense line.
According to the meaning of Li Xun's memorial, he obviously hoped that the imperial court could support Lingnan and at least reinforce some troops so that he could confront Lin Yi.
Li Xingchen also knew that these monkeys in the south were actually the most difficult to deal with. They did not have a fixed national governance system and still existed in the form of tribes, so it was easier for them to come and go. They fought in a somewhat guerrilla style, using constant
Disruption and erosion eventually forced the powerful enemy in the north to leave after exhaustion.
The previous fall of Rinan County was due to this reason, and if Li Xingchen ignores Lingnan like this now, I am afraid that in a few years, Rinan County will be completely dissipated.
In fact, Li Xingchen also knew that in the final analysis, it was because the population base of the Han people in the south was insufficient to form an absolute numerical advantage over the wandering Baiyue people and Linyi people. This numerical advantage obviously could not be achieved simply by dispatching troops.
Forming.
The easiest way to conquer a land is not to occupy it with a large army, but to develop and plan it so that everything on this land can no longer function without you, so that the local residents will naturally integrate into the entire big family.
within, rather than standing against the government.
The Han Dynasty is actually adopting similar policies for Nanzhong and Lingnan, and the results are pretty good.
"Immigration, what the big Han people lack most now is population, where can they immigrate?" Li Xunchen sighed helplessly. He first approved Li Xun's permission to mobilize troops from Nanzhong to enter Jiaozhi, and also allowed Li Xun to choose to stay or go on his own.
Once the enemy becomes too powerful, you can retreat first.
After all, now Li Xingchen and the Han Dynasty have to deal with the enemies in the north first.
"Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." Xu Su has already brought breakfast. Steaming white porridge, small and exquisite soup dumplings, and several side dishes are typical Jiangnan dishes.
As soon as Li Xingchen sat down, he took a breath and said with a smile: "It smells good, and the craftsmanship is good."
"As long as your Majesty likes it." Xu Su said hurriedly. She never had much to do at home. She just liked to get into the kitchen and learn some skills from the cook. So she thought she was not as good as those chefs, but she was still good at cooking at home.
of.
Li Xingchen took a sip of the porridge and nodded repeatedly: "It seems that I will be lucky in the future."
Xu Su smiled shyly.
And Li Xingchen ordered the plate: "You should eat too."
"Your Majesty will use it first, and I will eat it after Your Majesty has finished it." Xu Su said hurriedly.
"Our family doesn't have that many rules." Li Xingchen put together a soup dumpling, took a bite, sucked out all the soup in the soup dumpling, and smacked his lips, "It's a bit sweet, but it can also be called delicious.
also!"
"Maybe it's because I come from Wu family, so I'm used to the taste there." Xu Su also picked up one, "I will pay attention to it next time."
