The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 407

The little princess is just at a lively and active age, and she wants to break free from the embrace of the queen.

There was a sound of footsteps, the queen let go of her arms, and the princess slid out of her embrace, stretched her hands excitedly, and started running.

"Slow down, Luo'er."

Several maids hurriedly chased after her, fearing that she would fall, the queen looked at the person in front of her and asked, "How is it? Any news?"

"As my mother expected, they really went to the East Palace, and they haven't come out yet." The person who came was the woman in green that night, and she was Queen Lanying's confidant.She was originally Shiman, the emperor's bodyguard commander, leading a group of female bodyguards, known as the Lihuawei.

Empress Lanying sighed, with a anxious look on her face, and said: "The prince is rebellious and arrogant, and he doesn't know how powerful Song Ting is. Our Li Dynasty is not the most powerful now, if we rashly intervene in Song Dynasty I'm afraid it will put Li Chao in danger."

Shiman squatted down, gently kneaded Queen Lanying's calf, and said distressedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the people of Song Dynasty have always been weak, maybe they have a great reputation, but they don't really care about a blow."

Chapter 482 A Thousand Sails Pass by the Side of the Sunken Boat

Dali Kingdom originally had eight prefectures, four towns, and four counties.

Today, the eight mansions are almost preserved, and another Qujing mansion is set up, which governs 36 departments in Dali.

The eight magistrates were all officials transferred from Bianjing by Yang Lin. On this land that had been away from the Central Plains for a long time, they were trying to implement a new policy that would extend to the entire Song Dynasty in the future.

Yang Yibai City, in Yang Lin's courtyard, eight prefects gathered here.

It has been half a month since the implementation of the New Deal, and everyone brought some officials from their own government here.

"That's right. Generally speaking, it's going well. Feel free to bring up any difficulties you have. I'm here to help you solve your problems." After listening to everyone's report, Yang Lin was elated and still full of thoughts.

Different from the lifeless, dirty and dirty Song Bianliang officialdom, this place is full of vigor and hope.

All the officials spoke freely, and in the foreign land far away from the power center, even far away from their hometown, there was no intrigue or scheming, and everyone worked together to improve the New Deal.

This group of officials are all young people carefully selected by Yang Lin. They have all stayed in the school under Yanqing Temple and have been deeply influenced by Yang Xue's pragmatic thinking.

Liu Siyuan, the magistrate of Tengchong Prefecture, got up and cupped his fists and said, "Sir, most of the troops here are soldiers from Wuman 36 village. After all, these people are the private soldiers of the former chieftain lord. If someone secretly tricks us, we may be caught off guard. It’s better to transfer troops from other places and come to Dali to guard it, which can be regarded as a deterrent.”

Yang Lin thought about it carefully, and it made a lot of sense. There are all black barbarians here, so it's hard to guarantee that no one will have a different heart.

"Fang Qifo, write a transfer order in my tone, and transfer 5 Subi and Fan soldiers to Dali. The Jiangnan Xiang soldiers are useless, and we will abolish them sooner or later. At least we have to change the military system. Of course, this is already Let's talk about it later, let's talk about Dali's audition first."

The New Deal includes a new military system, and this reform is particularly important. The most difficult thing to deal with is the policy of better and stronger soldiers, which is bound to touch the interests of some generals.There is also the question of how to resettle the Xiang army after they are disarmed and returned to the field.

Yang Lin beckoned lightly, and asked Fang Qifo to come forward, saying: "Since there are foreign soldiers coming, when the foreign soldiers arrive, you immediately pile up the Wuman soldiers and horses to the border of Jiaozhi."

"People from the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty have always been domineering. They have repeatedly violated our city and increased troops at the border. I'm afraid it will cause their dissatisfaction?"

Yang Lin raised his eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "I have a strong army and horses. It is a joke to mobilize troops in my own territory and take into account other people's feelings. Send more troops!"

Fang Qifo nodded, and he had already begun to plan the strategy discussed in his heart. It seemed that it was necessary to understand the current situation of the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty in advance.

If it is to support one side, Li Chao must have two forces, otherwise they are monolithic, and it is really difficult to support one out of thin air.If it really doesn't work, we can only look for ambitious people who are unwilling to be mediocre and downcast, and they will take the lead in inciting the people to rebel and mess up Jiaozhi.

"Are there any questions?" Yang Lin looked around and found that everyone had already stood up to speak, so he asked in general.

No one answered, it seemed that all the existing questions had been raised, Yang Lin turned around and asked, "Have you written everything down?"

Behind him, the four officials nodded in unison, indicating that they had all been recorded.

Yang Lin nodded and said: "I will check and solve them one by one. I will go to each prefecture. After you go back, you can continue to govern with peace of mind, repair the city, divide the land, and encourage farming and mulberry. The land in Dali is fertile, the rain is abundant, and the seasons are like spring. If it is well developed, it will be a land of fish and rice.”

All the officials got up one after another, and after bidding farewell to Yang Lin, they walked out of the hall and returned to the state capital.

In Hangzhou City, on the third day of Zhang Shuye's arrival, he gathered the generals from all the south of the Yangtze River and checked the roster of the soldiers.

It doesn't matter if you don't check, this will burst the bubble of the Xiangbing soldiers. Seventy percent of the 9 Xiangbing soldiers in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are empty.

Zhang Shuye suppressed the news, and under the guard of the Duwei Mansion, he stayed in the government office for seven days without going out.

A secret agent had already sent the news to Dali and Yang Lin's case.

All the generals in the south of the Yangtze River knew that the newly appointed inspector of the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River had counted the roster of soldiers in Dali, but there was no movement.

Under the panic, everyone reacted differently. Some committed suicide in fear of crime, some pretended nothing happened, and some ran back and forth.

It's a pity that Zhang Shuye's gate has been closed tightly, and thousands of capable soldiers are waiting in battle. The guards patrolling outside the government office all night long, changing defenses all night, leaving no vacancies.

All those who came to pay their respects at this time were gone. Jiangnan, which has been in peace for a hundred years, suddenly became tense like never before.

In the government office, Zhang Shuye, who hadn't shown up for a long time, was playing against Yin Muhong.

These two people are both good players, after a fight, the chessboard was extremely tragic.

"Haha, how about a draw?" Zhang Shuye said with a smile.

Yin Muhong guessed that no one would be able to win, so he spread his hands and said, "That's the only way to go."

"On this chessboard, we can shake hands and make peace, but the situation in Jiangnan may not be peaceful." Yin Muhong asked softly, without even wiping his eyelids.

When Zhang Shuye saw it, he knew that he had made a plan long ago. This person was Yang Shaozai's confidant, a very close person, and it was said that his daughter was also Yang Shaozai's concubine.

What he meant, most likely also meant less slaughter, Zhang Shuye had no intention of killing people in the south of the Yangtze River.

In his opinion, the shortcomings of Song Dynasty are indeed serious, but Shaozai's actions are a bit overkill.

How can there be such a killing? It's not because of the tyrant. Some people should be able to persuade them to return to the right way.

Fearing that the Duwei Mansion in front of him, who made people talk about it, would raise the butcher knife again, Zhang Shuye asked tentatively: "According to Yin Tiju, how should we deal with this matter?"

"Haha, Yin is just a small suggestion, how dare he make such a big deal."

"Brother Yin, why should you be overly modest? Who doesn't know that you are the mastermind of Shao Zai, so you would be willing to give me your advice." Zhang Shuye asked with a smile.

"This matter needs to be pondered in this way. Look at the imperial army in the capital camp. Their faults are not less than those of the Xiang soldiers, and even far greater than that of the Xiang soldiers. The family of the imperial army generals is more daring than the generals in the south of the Yangtze River. How did the young master do it?

He uprooted the family of the Forbidden Army, but he favored 60 military households.These military households and military families who had been squeezed by the imperial family were all rescued from slavery.The strong are still soldiers, and the treatment is ten times that of before, and the weak also have a livelihood, and they are no longer human beings.What happened today is a blessing, not a curse, for the Jiangnan Xiang soldiers. "

Zhang Shuye put away the chessboard, his heart skipped a beat, he secretly thought it was over, it was not a disaster for the soldiers, but for the officers and generals who caused the situation like this, it might be another bloodbath.

Chapter 483 I'm Not Here

In the middle of the night, a fast horse galloped along the long, silent long street, making the sound of its hooves.

Suddenly he heard the horse neighing, the crowing stopped, and someone shouted loudly: "Who breaks into the government office at night?"

"Jiangnan has an urgent secret letter, which must be handed over to Shaozai."

After a group of people approached, they recognized the person's clothing and waist badge, and then they clasped their fists and said politely: "So it's a brother from the Captain's Mansion, please get off your horse and rest for a while, I'll report to Shaozai."

After a while, Yang Lin came out wearing a brocade robe, and walked quickly into the study.
