Dong Shanping left after patting his chest and promising Li Xinchen that at least most people in the Southern and Central Ministries still had expectations for cooperating with Li Xinchen. Firstly, Li Xinchen now controls the entire Bashu and indeed has the capital to cooperate with them. Secondly, Li Xinchen has great expectations for cooperation with them.
The attitude of the Ba people was enough to convince them that Li Xinchen was not simply a Han supremacist, and that anyone who was useful could play a role in Li Xinchen.
The various tribes of the Southern Barbarians have also experienced the glorious period of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Shu Han Dynasty. Now they have an opportunity to return to a civilized and enlightened society. Of course, they are not willing to give up. After all, the days of slash-and-burn farming and watching the sky to eat are much better than the rumored days.
There is really no way to compare with the worry-free food and clothing.
However, Li Xingchen still asked Du Qi to take Dong Shanping around Ba County, especially the resettlement place of the Ba people, to make Dong Shanping feel more at ease.
Watching Dong Shanping leave, before Li Xingchen could take a sip of water, Pei Zilie walked in quickly, holding an express in his hand and handed it to Li Xingchen:
"Shizhong, urgent report from Jiankang Mansion."
Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows and took it subconsciously, sighing softly in his heart. Although he was reluctant in every way, he had to admit the fact that he was getting busier and busier now.
"Your Majesty has agreed to the terms we negotiated with Xu Shanxin," Pei Zilie said solemnly, "eight hundred soldiers and thirty naval warships."
Li Xingchen took it and took a look at it, while nodding slightly: "Sure enough, I guessed right, this is also the bottom line of the imperial court. Fortunately, I didn't continue to fight for higher places at that time, otherwise it might not have ended well."
Of course, Li Xinchen now tried his best to eliminate the misunderstanding with Chen Xu, and solving the Northern Zhou Dynasty together was the top priority. Especially not long ago, Yang Su had just sent a very important piece of information to Li Xinchen. Yu Wenxian had already arrived from Yecheng and Fancheng.
Mobilizing troops and horses, even frontline cities like Xiangyang that directly face Nanchen have mobilized troops and horses from the north, and it is obvious who they want to target.
Yang Jian was also unwilling to be outdone. Wei Xiaokuan of Fangling led his troops north to Wuguan and formed a confrontation with Yuchi's troops who were heading north. Luoyang's army also moved north and southeast, intending to block the troops loyal to Yu Wenxian in Yecheng and Huaibei.
army.
The confrontation between the two sides has obviously become increasingly intense under the deliberate guidance of Hongnong Yang and other vested interest groups and groups who want to gain interests. If there was still some sense between Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian in the previous time,
I know that I shouldn't confront the opponent head-on yet, otherwise both sides will suffer.
So what Yu Wenxian and Yang Jian are thinking now must be how to defeat each other with all their strength. Otherwise, the two sides would not be so grand, and it can even be said that they are at odds with each other.
Regardless of whether this was because Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian had made up their minds, or because Yang Su and other members of the family were fanning the flames, Li Xingchen only knew that he did not have much time left for him, and he had to leave Jiankang Mansion as soon as possible.
Pei Zilie said after careful consideration: "Your Majesty should be very anxious to see you now. The Navy's ship has arrived in Bajun and should set off as soon as possible."
Li Xingchen tapped the table with his hand. Many matters in Bashu and Nanzhong have been arranged, and the training of these eight hundred soldiers has been carried out in an orderly manner for several days. Although he does not expect these soldiers to fully understand what he means, at least it is better than before.
A group of arrogant and powerful generals. When the time comes, it will be better for them to fight independently without forming an organization.
Not as good as the superiors but more than the inferiors. Li Xingchen only had to deal with the forbidden troops. What's more, Li Xingchen didn't think that these soldiers who had followed him and defeated many enemy formations were any worse than the so-called elite soldiers of the Southern Chen and Northern Zhou Dynasties. Wei Xiaokuan
It's not like they haven't encountered the elite soldiers under Yuchi's command before, nor have they ever defeated them.
Thinking of this, Li Xingchen paused his hand and suddenly opened his eyes: "Let's set off tomorrow."
——————————————————-
Outside Bajun City, there is a ten-mile long pavilion.
Changting has been a place of farewell throughout the ages, and I don’t know how many people have shed tears of farewell here. But now there are several wine glasses on the table outside the Changting, and Li Xingchen is standing in front of the table looking at the people standing in a neat queue.
.
Before leaving Bashu, he needed to see off another group of people.
These gathered craftsmen and soldiers, a total of five hundred people, will go south first.
Compared with Li Xingchen's eight hundred elites, the composition of these five hundred people is more complicated, ranging from officials to craftsmen to soldiers, and even Ba guides and porters. However, it is not without similarities, that is, these people are young enough
, they can withstand the test of traveling across mountains and rivers, and they have the confidence and courage to open up a new world.
Li Xingchen picked up the wine glass, and several leading officials and craftsmen in the team also picked up the wine. Standing in front of Li Xingchen was a small official in Luzhou City, called Lu Qing. It is said that he led troops to respond to Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.
After the meritorious officer of Yongchang County, the later Yunnan Governor Lu Kai, and perhaps because of this relationship, Lu Qing has always studied Nanzhong. It is a pity that he has repeatedly written to the county governor and the pastoral governor, but he has not been treated.
Later, Li Xingchen became the master of Bashu, and Lu Qing wrote to Li Xingchen again with the attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, this time the letter that should have been ignored was taken seriously by Li Xingchen, and Lu Qing naturally became the one Li Xingchen put together.
As the commander-in-chief of a team, this was naturally a rare opportunity for Lu Qing, who was just a county captain.
In addition to Lu Qing, there are more than a dozen carefully selected young officials. If possible, they will initially rebuild the administrative system of Nanzhong.
Standing next to Lu Qing is Jiang Mang, the proud disciple of the master craftsman Ouyang Mo. This is a sturdy young man with a strong back and a strong waist. At first glance, he is a talent suitable for traveling over mountains and ridges and exploring everywhere. Obviously, Ouyang Mo chose him for a reason.
In addition, the army also selected two generals to lead the troops and horses to protect them, but everyone knows that this is actually just psychological comfort, and two hundred troops and horses really won't do much in case of emergencies. But then again
, there are mountains in Nanzhong, and there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Nanman tribes. Once they disagree with each other and suddenly launch an attack, even if Li Xingchen pulls all the soldiers and horses over, it will not help, so these two hundred people are not so much going
Rather, it represents the image of Li Xingchen's group.
The latest light armor, brand-new swords, and improved crossbows produced by the Nanfang County Workshop are enough to make this small force capable of attacking and defending. In any case, people like Lu Qing and Jiang Mang are also Li Xingchen's treasures
, if there is any small conflict, this small force can still come in handy.
"A certain person is about to leave for Jiangnan, and you are about to go to Nanzhong. We are not embarking on a battlefield, but it is better than a battlefield." Li Xingchen's voice was loud and even a little tragic.
