"Headquarters, there is someone who calls himself Qianshan Zhao Han and asks to see him."
"Um?"
Zhao Han raised his head with a strange expression, and then smiled again: "Please come in."
Fei Yu works outside, and he is one of the three secretaries. Not long after, seeing Fei Yinghuan and Wei Jianxiong being brought in, he almost cried out in surprise, but immediately buried himself in the official documents.
Without squinting around, Fei Ying was led into the house, cupped his hands and said, "Qianshan Zhao Han, meet Zhao Zongzhen!"
Zhao Han was a little surprised that the father-in-law came. He got up quickly and said, "Uncle, please sit down."
Wei Jianxiong retreated outside the house and closed the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.
"Brother Han has done a great job." Fei Yinghuan teased with a smile, seeming to be sarcastic, but also complaining, with a touch of exclamation.
Zhao Han had a thick skin, and said, "Master Taishan has praised you absurdly."
"I've seen some of your policies, so I won't ask any more," Fei Yinghuan went straight to the point, "I just ask you, when can you take Jiangxi?"
Zhao Han said: "Nanchang Mansion will be taken next year."
"I heard that there are Fujian and Guangdong troops in the south. I thought you would go to Ganzhou first," Fei Yinghuan was a little disappointed. "If you take Nanchang first, I'm afraid the imperial court will send more soldiers to encircle and suppress."
Zhao Han explained: "I discussed with several gentlemen, and my original intention was to take Ganzhou first, but Nanchang was too deceptive. Its private Nanchang banknote customs taxed more than eunuchs, which greatly affected the people under my rule. Business and people's livelihood. If they kill themselves, let them be fulfilled!"
Fei Yinghuan asked again: "How sure are you of winning Nanchang?"
"Very sure." Zhao Han replied.
"So confident?" Fei Yinghuan asked.
Zhao Han said with a smile: "If it wasn't for consolidating the territory, I would be able to occupy half of Jiangxi this year."
Fei Yinghuan stopped asking questions, he said: "I want to go south to Funing to be the prefect, how can I help you?"
"Funing is in Fujian?" Zhao Han was not sure.
Fei Yinghuan said: "On the coast of Fujian."
Zhao Han smiled and said: "If Master Taishan is willing to help, you can make friends with Zheng Zhilong for me."
"Okay, I understand." Fei Yinghuan nodded.
"well!"
Fei Yinghuan suddenly sighed with emotion: "When I brought your brother and sister back to Jiangxi, how did I expect this situation?"
Zhao Han said: "Even if you don't come to Jiangxi, my son-in-law will find a place to rebel."
"You like to rebel so much?" Fei Yinghuan asked.
Zhao Han shook his head and said, "It's not that I like to rebel, but that Daming is hopeless."
Fei Yinghuan smiled and asked, "Do you know that many of the courtiers have the idea of ??preferring the south?"
"I don't know." Zhao Han said.
Fei Yinghuan explained: "This kind of idea was first proposed by the folk scholars, and gradually spread to the court. It is believed that the southern provinces are the land of wealth in the world. Instead of harvesting money and food, the northern provinces have to continue to pay for it. Fighting wars. Let¡¯s just leave the north and move the capital to Nanjing to rectify the government, get rid of the evils, and then go north.¡±
"It's a beautiful idea. After the Pianan, how can anyone be willing to go north? Is this the idea of ??the southern scholars?" Zhao Han sneered.
"Indeed," Fei Yinghuan nodded and said, "Although it's widely circulated, it's all private discussions, and no one dares to say it openly. Now, you're making trouble here in Jiangxi, and there are fewer and fewer people who may be trying to favor peace. gone."
Suddenly, Zhao Han asked: "Master Taishan, why don't you go to the inner house to rest for a while and call Rulan and Ruhe to talk."
"No need," Fei Yinghuan raised his hand and said, "There are so many people, I don't see them as well. I'll leave when I finish talking with you. Zhang Yinggao, the prefect of Guangxin, is a man who knows how to govern the people and fight wars. He has already trained five thousand Xiangyong, you'd better be careful."
"Thank you, Lord Taishan, for reminding me," Zhao Han said with a smile, "No matter how elite the bravery is, their combat effectiveness will drop exponentially after leaving their hometown, because they don't know why they fight."
"Okay, that's all for now, I'm leaving first." Fei Yinghuan got up and said.
Really, he left as soon as he said, without seeing his son and daughter, and he had to rush to Fujian to take up his post.
Fei Yinghuan quickly came to Ganzhou by boat, and went southeast along the Gongshui River, where Huichang County had been recovered by officers and soldiers.
Halfway through the journey, I suddenly saw a large number of ships coming from the opposite side. It was the army of Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian. The ships were used to transport the baggage, and about ten thousand soldiers (including civilian husbands) walked along the river bank.
Fei Yinghuan arrived in Huichang County without being stopped for search.
When I inquired at the pier, it turned out that the Ruijin rebels had been wiped out.The ships passing by the Ji'an Mansion will be forcibly sold a book of anti-thieves, brother Dehui, please read it. "
Zou Weilian opened the book and read it carefully. He was angry at first, and then terrified.
Many of the articles written by these rebels have the same ideas as Zou Weilian himself.
Except for the rebellious remarks in it, Zou Weilian liked this book very much, and even felt a little bit like seeing each other later.
Fei Yinghuan suddenly asked: "Brother Dehui has how many soldiers, do you have the confidence to defeat that Luling Zhao bandit?"
"How can there be any confidence?" Zou Weilian sighed, "I heard that Zhao bandit defeated two governors successively, and now he must be stronger. Although I have more than 10,000 soldiers, there are only three or four thousand soldiers who can fight. The ones I rely on are only a thousand or so blunderbuss soldiers, and those ten or so Franc cannons."
Fei Yinghuan asked again: "Brother Dehui, why didn't he march in quickly and kill that bandit Zhao by surprise?"
Zou Weilian shook his head again and again: "I suppressed the bandits in the south of Jiangxi, and won successive victories. My subordinates are all arrogant soldiers. I stopped them again and forbade them from looting in Jiangxi. The generals under my command have become disobedient. This move Ganzhou, firstly to raise money and food, secondly to recuperate the troops, and thirdly to enforce military discipline! If the military discipline is not strict, I will definitely not dare to go north to suppress the bandits."
"Brother is a man who knows how to fight." Fei Yinghuan admired.
For the next few days, Fei Yinghuan was not in a hurry to leave, so he went to Ganzhou to help Zou Weilian, and by the way, to investigate the actual situation in his army.
Wei Jianxiong quietly went north and sent a letter to Zhao Han.
Even the name of Lieutenant General Zou Weilian's army was written clearly in the letter, not to mention how many firecrackers and artillery there were.
(About Yuan Chonghuan, the discussion was more intense. I can only say that the content of the previous chapter, except for the time of Wang Tingshi¡¯s dismissal, which I got wrong by two months, is all recorded in history books. Yuan Chonghuan will definitely do it A lot of shit, but in the attitude towards Mao Wenlong, first he was helpful, then helpless, and finally angry. There is too much content, I will write it in the author's words next.) </div>
