Chapter 140 Re-ewar
Lu Qiang has been thinking about the situation in Jiaozhou these days. There is no suspense about taking it, but he is afraid that once the war lasts, it will be a great burden for Jingzhou and the newly occupied Guangzhou.
Even Lu Qiang has thought that if it really doesn't work, he will temporarily give up there and completely take it back when his strength is strong.
After receiving Han Yanzhi's letters in succession, Lu Qiang knew that he did not need to worry anymore.
Lu Qiang did not take it seriously about Han Yanzhi's complaint against Wang Kai. Soldiers need a kind of motivation to fight abroad. Wang Kai did nothing wrong with what he did. Ruan Ming wanted to leave the court, divide the country, and did not leave the chickens and dogs killed by his family, which was kind enough. However, if this kind of thing happened among the Han people in the Central Plains, he would never tolerate it.
It turned out that Lu Qiang also wanted Wang Kai to be stationed in Jiaozhou with Han Yanzhi, but now it seems that it won't work. How can the generals govern the place? It is Ruan Ming's nest. Ruan Ming has not been eliminated and may fight back at any time, so he must make up his mind.
After making up his mind, Lu Qiang issued a paper order to transfer Wang Kai back, but at the same time sent Zhu Zan over.
Zhu Zan is intelligent and has a strong national consciousness. After this period of training, he can be released.
After arranging these, just as Lu Qiang was about to leave for Jiangling, Wu Yinzhi finally rushed back.
In fact, Wu Yinzhi can be an official in the capital. Only after returning to the capital did he find that this is no longer the court he imagined. The imperial power is next to the side, and the factions are clear. He did not see the people working in the court, but only the struggle for power and profits.
In this case, Wu Yinzhi, who is loyal to the royal family, still has the intention to assist Liu Yu? On the contrary, whether through the news or combined with their own personal experience, the vitality of Jing and Guang made Wu Yinzhi have a trace of regret. If he had known this, he might as well follow Lu Qiang!
At this time, he received a letter from Lu Qiang asking him to be the governor of Guangzhou again. It is reasonable that this appointment should be made by the court, but Wu Yinzhi knew that he was waiting for the imperial court to give an edict? If you don't talk about it, you won't know if you can do it or not.
So without saying a word, he simply cleaned up and set off back to Panyu.
Originally, Wu Yinzhi invited Wang Dan to go south with him, because he knew that this friend's life was not satisfactory in Jiankang. Unexpectedly, Wang Dan didn't know what happened and ran to Jiangling alone happily.
I don't know why this guy is so happy. If I hadn't known Wang Dan, I would have thought this guy was running for a woman?
In desperation, Wu Yinzhi had to return to Panyu alone.
Lu Qiang now has no shortage of generals who can fight, but only these civil servants who can govern the local area. There is no doubt about Wu Yinzhi's loyalty, but he doesn't know if he has any unique views on governing the place? You should know that Guangzhou was scourgeed by Lu Xun before.
After hosting a banquet to entertain Wu Yin, they withdrew the banquet and put on fragrant tea. The two sat in the flower hall and chatted.
If this season is in the north, it will have been snowing all over the sky, but Panyu can't feel any cold here.
Because it was a private banquet, both of them dressed casually, and Lu Qiang still held a fan in his hand. He is a northerner and can't stand the weather here.
Wu Yinzhi appreciates Lu Qiang's style more and more. Among other things, from the point of view that there is no maid around him and all the soldiers who serve tea and pour water, this is definitely a practical person. Wu Yinzhi himself believes that he can't do it.
Because of the war in Jiaozhou. Although Lu Qiang was trying to rush back to Jiangling, he was finally dragged here and failed to rush back at the end of the year.
At this time, there is no lunar calendar. The New Year is the first day of January every year, and the night before is 30.
Although he has not officially become husband and wife with a few girls, it is still his family. As a more traditional Chinese, it is a pity that he did not spend the Spring Festival with his relatives.
"Will you leave tomorrow?"
Lu Qiang nodded and said, "Yes! It's been long enough to come out this time. There are still many things in Jiangling!" He paused and said, "I will help you guard Guangzhou with General Feng. What else is there to embarrass you?"
Wu Yinzhi said solemnly: "Your Excellency's policy of benefiting the people has begun to bear fruit. The subordinate is just following the path pointed out by the adult. Please rest assured that within a year, the subordinate will definitely present a brand-new Guangzhou to the adult."
Lu Qiang nodded. After he arrived in Panyu, he also inquired from the side and knew that Wu Yinzhi was indeed a very capable official, otherwise he would not have been invited back from Jiankang.
"Guangzhou is located on the coast and can vigorously develop maritime transportation. In addition, you should also pay more attention to the salt farm. In addition, remember that the salt farm must be run by the government. Private merchants can buy and sell fairly, but they are never allowed to monopolize operations. This is the bottom line of my official."
"Adults don't worry, subordinates understand, and never live up to the expectations of adults"
"I have not set up an assassin in Jiaozhou. First, it has not been fully pacified. In addition, I also want to put it under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou. I don't know what Lord Wu thinks about this matter?"
This is what Lu Qiang wants to talk about most. Although Guangzhou is newly attached, it borders Jingzhou. It is easy to govern, but Jiaozhou is different. Therefore, Lu Qiang intends to lay off officials at the level of Jiaozhou Assassin and be under the unified management of Guangzhou Assassination Office.
When Wu Yinzhi heard Lu Qiang's words, he couldn't help but be silent. Under normal circumstances, if the management area is large, the power will be greater. He should be happy, but Wu Yinzhi knows that the road in Jiaozhou is far away, and the indigenous people are rampant. It is impossible to manage Guangzhou like this.
Lu Qiang didn't say anything, shook his fan and quietly waited for Wu Yinzhi's answer.
Wu Yinzhi pondered for a long time before he got up and hugged his fists and said, "Your excellency is so much, and the subordinate officer is sincerely afraid. How can he not bow to die? But the subordinate feels that it is too early to merge Jiaozhou into Guangzhou for the time being."
"Jiaozhou is located in a remote area, and the mountains and Vietnam are mixed with indigenous people. Although it is difficult to manage, what the subordinates want to say is not here. The main reason is that Guangzhou has just started, and I am afraid that it will not be able to afford the vast areas of Jiaozhou for the time being. As for the governance of Jiaozhou, the subordinates have a few suggestions."
"First of all, the road is advocated by adults. The subordinates feel that this is a long-term plan to strengthen the management of Jiaozhou. In addition, the subordinates suggested that Zhuyazhou should vigorously develop and move the criminals to the island, so that a contact point can be built between Jiaozhou and Guangzhou. Once there is something wrong in Jiaozhou, it is closer to Guangzhou from Zhuyazhou. A lot"
"In addition, at the time of Emperor Mu, the Funan Kingdom in the south of Jiaozhou sent envoys to the dynasty. The subordinates felt that they could carry out business with them, thus driving the commerce in Guangzhou and Jiaotong areas. As long as the overall strength of Guangzhou area goes up and then the Jiaozhou will be under control, it will be done."
After listening to Wu Yinzhi's words, Lu Qiang couldn't help but breathe and said, "Lord Wu still thinks far! Everything will be done according to Lord Wu's will, and I will fully support it"
The two couldn't help looking at each other and laughing, and they had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend in their hearts.
Wu Yinzhi has been the governor of Guangzhou for many years. Due to the chaos of the court, no one cares about remote areas, so he has nowhere to show his talent. Now with the full support of Lu Qiang, he can finally show his strength.
Lu Qiang is even more happy. Although his overall view is unparalleled, it is much worse than these people who have been officials for many years when it comes to specific implementation.
At this point, he can finally return to Jiangling with peace of mind.
The further north from Guangzhou, the weather is getting colder and colder, but in Lu Qiang's memory, this is not cold at all. I remember that when I was a child, the elderly at home talked about the cold in the north, and I couldn't imagine it in the south.
When peeing, you have to keep pulling with a wooden stick, otherwise you will freeze...
This trip to the south, he solved several major events. Lu Qiang was in a good mood. With the gradual stabilization of the rear, he could free up his hands to deal with Huan Xuan.
Huan Xuanmao has been in Shu for so long, and its strength should be accumulated, right?
Lu Qiang knew that he would have a war with Liu Yu sooner or later, but although Huan Xuan was not a big threat, if he made trouble in the back when he fought with Liu Yu, it would be a trouble after all, so he had to solve Huan Xuan before fighting with Liu Yu.
It's just that Shu Road is difficult, and it is much more difficult to calm down Shuzhong than to beat Lu Xun.
It seemed that he knew that Lu Qiang was thinking about Shuzhong. Before the brigade waited for Jiangling, Jiangling sent news about Shuzhong.
Mao Yu, the assassin of Yizhou, joined the army. Under the pressure of Hou Hui and Yang Mei, he rebelled and killed Mao Yu, claiming to be the king of Chengdu. Cousin Qihong is the governor of Yizhou, and his younger brother Qi Mingzi is the general of Zhendong and the governor of Ba County, and is stationed in Baidi City. Guard the water passage from Jingzhou to Shu.
Huan Xuan, who was in Liangzhou, immediately raised troops to respond after hearing about the rebellion, but this guy was afraid of Lu Qiang. He just shouted and verbally supported Qiao Zong without any substantive action.
Zhong?
is very strange to Lu Qiang. He knows that Mao Qiang, the assassin of Yizhou, is also a firm supporter of the imperial court, but he is not interested in Lu Qiang, so he has not had any contact with Lu Qiang since he occupied Jingzhou.
If Mao Qian is still there and Lu Qiang wants to march into Liangzhou, although Mao Qian may not help, he will not stop him. He may even help Lu Qiang. Now he has been killed, which undoubtedly adds great difficulty to Lu Qiang's march into Shu.
In fact, Lu Qiang knows that Huan Xuan is now a traitor. Except for Huan Xi and Huan Zhen's two families, there is no one to support him. The turtle is huddled in Liangzhou, and there are only 20,000 soldiers and horses. What he relies on is only the hardship of Shu Dao.
Now there is more sudden power in Shuzhong, which really makes Lu Qiang a little unprepared.
After receiving the news, Lu Qiang immediately ordered the brigade to speed up, stop meeting officials along the way, and rush back to Jiangling as soon as possible.
He doesn't know anything about this. I don't know if this guy will collude with Huan Xuan? But this kind of thing must be prepared for the worst. Once the two armies join forces, they can go down the river and kill directly to Jiangling.
Although Lu Qiang is unwilling to fight again, if the enemy really comes, he must do his best to defeat it.
