The news of Shi Jingtang's death was accompanied by the news of Shi Chonggui's enthronement in Luoyang. The world was not shocked, but there was a strange silence in public opinion.
The death of an emperor must be finalized, but what should be said about Shi Jingtang now? It seems that he should be scolded, but the person from Yixian County hasn't spoken yet, and the weather vane seems to be difficult to determine. What if he goes in the wrong direction? Therefore, Shiron simply fell silent.
However, in the dead silence, the spread of this news still intensified the impact in some aspects. In Shandong, Yanzhou and Jezhou, which belong to the central Shandong region, successively surrendered to Tiance, resulting in nearly half of Shandong area being included in the rule of Tiance Datang. At this time, new changes are also brewing in the Youzhou area.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Fan Yanguang¡¯s troops have been in Wuqing for some time. The further north they go, the more depressing the atmosphere he feels.
There is no longer the indulgence of sexual desire as in Yedu, only the depression I felt during those days in Luoyang, even worse than when I was in Luoyang!
"Soldiers and horses are stationed in Wuqing County and are training on the spot. They are not allowed to leave the city without orders!"
This is an order sent by Zhang Mai when Fan Yanguang was preparing to go north. No explanation, no room for maneuver, just a simple but non-negotiable instruction!
After Fan Yanguang received the order, he didn't take it seriously. The next day, his subordinate Sun Rui couldn't bear the boredom in the city and went out to hunt privately. He happened to meet the law enforcement team. After asking for the number, the law enforcement team ordered everyone to put down their weapons. They were captured, but Sun Rui refused to be captured and even drew his sword to resist. In the chaos, one person from the law enforcement team was accidentally killed. Now Sun Rui knew that the chaos was getting bigger and immediately ordered a siege: "No one can leave!"
The members of the law enforcement team were very alert. When they saw that the situation was not going well, they immediately ordered them to separate and escape. Sun Rui was unable to catch up, so he only killed a few people and the rest escaped.
When Sun Rui returned to Wuqing, he wanted to hide it from Fan Yanguang at first. But thinking about how big this matter was, I was afraid that I couldn't hide it after all, so I had no choice but to tell Fan Yanguang.
Fan Yanguang was shocked and said angrily: "You are a bitch! Don't you think you have a long life? How dare the law enforcement team kill you!" He pulled out his knife and said angrily: "You are going to rebel, aren't you! Forget it, I'll kill you first You. Then go to Yizhou to plead guilty to the marshal!"
Sun Ruiyuan also thought that Fan Yanguang would be angry, but he did not expect that Fan Yanguang would be so angry. He fell to his knees in shock. Several close men nearby jumped over and hugged Fan Yanguang's hands and feet. Fan Yanguang's sword missed the target, and Sun Rui's sword missed him. passed over his head. A piece of scalp and hair were cut off.
Fan Yanguang shouted: "Let me kill him, let me kill him!" His cronies shouted urgently: "General Sun, General Sun, why don't you plead guilty to Jiedushi quickly!"
Only then did Sun Rui come back to his senses. Regardless of the wound on his forehead, he burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty! I didn't really want to kill anyone at that time, but we just went out to hunt in the city. They actually wanted us to capture us without any help. This Not only did they not take us seriously, they also looked down on your father-in-law! We had three hundred people at that time, but they had less than fifty. We couldn't lose even if we lost people! But they actually dared to draw their swords at us, brother They couldn't lose their momentum, so they drew their swords and fought with them. Who knew that they accidentally killed one"
Fan Yanguang said angrily: "If you kill one, it's better to kill them all. If you can't silence them, what are you doing here? You killed yourself. Go and apologize to the marshal!" He threw his hand away and dropped the knife at Sun Rui's feet.
Sun Rui looked at Fan Yanguang and then at the knife on the ground. He refused to commit suicide, and the expression on his face kept changing, uncertain. People around looked at the knife at Sun Rui's feet. His expression was also a little strange.
Zhang Qiwei hurriedly came over and said: "Your Majesty, Sun Rui deserves to die for making such a big mistake, but he didn't mean it at the beginning. Now people will be killed even if they don't kill. Even if Sun Rui is handed over, he may not be the marshal." You will be angry because of this. On our side, it has chilled the hearts of the brothers!"
Fan Yanguang said angrily: "Then what else can I do! Death to the murderer, let alone the law enforcement team! Didn't you see the military law above and below the head? These law enforcement teams have the power to kill soldiers who do not abide by military law when they see them. Yes! Now it¡¯s good, he actually killed someone! Who can bear such a serious crime! "
Zhang Qiyi said: "Military law is nothing more than human feelings."
"Favors?" Fan Yanguang said angrily: "How can there be room for favors in military law?"
"Logically it cannot be tolerated, but now is a special period, and we are special people." Zhang Qiwei said: "Your Majesty has returned from Yedu. For the marshal, it is setting an example of buying horse bones for a thousand gold. . After the general surrendered, Jing Yanguang, Du Chongwei, and Fu Yanqing surrendered one after another. The marshal took hundreds of miles of Youji without a single blow. It can be said that the Duke's contribution was all in this. Now that Shi Jingtang had just died, Shi Jin was about to Gonna fall apart, ??There was Shi Chonggui in Luoyang, An Chongrong in Taiyuan, Liu Zhiyuan in Chang'an, and there were also defenders in Xianghan and Huaibei. Even extending to Jiangnan, Fujian and Han, Jingchu and even Meng Shu, if the pacification is good, it is possible to spread the message - at least to weaken the will of all parties to resist. But if at this time, news comes out that the marshal is treating you harshly, no matter what the reason is, your Majesty, think about it, how will the powerful powers from all sides react? "
Fan Yanguang was extremely angry, but then he slowly calmed down and said, "Go on."
Zhang Qiwei said: "Your Majesty, it is true that we are surrendering generals, but the timing of our surrender is perfect. Now that the world has not yet been unified, if the marshal wants to appease the powerful powers from all sides, he cannot do anything to your Majesty - no matter what the reason is. ,Will not work."
Fan Yanguang gradually calmed down and no longer got angry at Sun Rui.
Zhang Qiwei is right. In the face of politics, justice, laws and rules sometimes become not so important.
In this era where we don't believe in the truth, if something happens to him, Fan Yanguang, the powerful people from all sides will not ask why. As long as Zhang Maizhen touches Fan Yanguang, they will be chilled, disgusted, and afraid of what will happen if they surrender in the future. If Zhang Mai is treated the same way, he will resist with all his strength in the future!
It doesn't matter what the facts are, what matters is what Zhang Mai needs. As long as Zhang Mai still needs to dominate the world, he has to have some scruples, he has to have a balance, and he has to give both sides a solution based on political reality. steps. Faintly, Fan Yanguang saw a chessboard appearing between heaven and earth. On one side of the chessboard was Zhang Mai, and on the other side were all the powerful people from the Central Plains, including those who had surrendered and those who had not.
Fan Yanguang no longer blames Sun Rui. Zhang Qiwei is right. What is important now is not military law and law. It's about how Zhang Mai chooses in this game.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Zhang Mai¡¯s troops have arrived in Youzhou.
Xue Fu arrived first, cleared the military defenses in Youzhou, and controlled all the people in Youzhou. It was obvious that the Tiance Tang Army did not fully trust this huge army that had temporarily surrendered, at least not as much as they trusted the White Horse Silver Spear Regiment. Xue Fu also did not touch the military power of Fu Yanqing and others, but only rearranged their garrison locations and separated the logistics supplies from the garrison. With only these two items, the entire Youzhou surrender army was restrained from daring to move even half a step.
Then, Yang Xin and Zhe Congshi also arrived one after another
Following, Guo Zhang, Wei Fei, Shi Jian, Ding Hanshan, and Ma Humeng arrived one after another. Finally even Li Bin arrived.
It was only then that Fu Yanqing and others learned about Yang Yi's injury and the authority of Xue Fu as the acting governor - but none of this mattered now. The Tiance Tang Army has achieved absolute military superiority, and almost no force in the north can compete with it.
After everything was cleared, Xue Fu reported to Yixian that he was safe, and followed Zhang Mai, protected by the Modao Battle Ax Formation, to leave Yixian and enter Youzhou.
In the past, Youzhou City was the most prosperous city in the Northeast. Now it has become desolate, the city walls are still there, but the market is deserted, as empty as a ghost market. During Du Chongwei's garrison, this place completely turned into another military city - many generals of the Five Dynasties seemed to be like this, good at military affairs but ignorant of civil affairs.
As for outside the city, there has been a lack of cultivated wheat fields for several months. Du Chongwei did not restrain his men despite the wind and rain, and the trampling of wheat fields often happened. Although Zhang Mai ordered all the garrison to protect the farmland as much as possible after entering Yandi, it was already too late. In the evening, in those places where the residents were moved away, the wheat harvests would definitely be bad.
After Xue Fu entered Youzhou. Divide the city into four parts:
The north side was cleared and leveled along the terrain, and only a large group of tents was built around the city as a camp in the city. The center of the big tent is a big golden tent - it was prepared for Zhang Mai. He expected that Zhang Mai would stay here for a long time after he stationed in Youzhou, so he made proper preparations. Nowadays, money and food are tight in all aspects, and it is not suitable to carry out large-scale luxurious construction. Therefore, the palace is not built and is temporarily replaced by a large tent. Zhang Mai is used to living in it anyway - all administrative officials will also gather here.
The east side is used as a storage place, and a large army is stationed for protection. However, most of the troops will gather in the barracks designated in the west of the city.
The south side is divided into residential areas and markets, known as Nanshi. Businessmen gathered in Yunzhou are already heading towards Youzhou. It is estimated that Youzhou's business will flourish again soon, and there is no need to wait until next year. This city will The city will be revitalized by business - this is completely foreseeable!
For example, the ruling scope of Datang today, the North Vietnam desert, the west connecting the silk road, and the entire Hebei as the hinterland in the south. As for the east, the geographical advantage of Youzhou was better than Liangzhou.With the expansion of Tiance's territory in the Tang Dynasty, the business here will develop exponentially in a few years, and surpassing the reign of the Later Liang and Khitan is just around the corner!
As for the center, Xue Fu dispatched tens of thousands of soldiers to carry earth, leveled a large square, and built a huge prototype earth and stone platform in a few days, which will become an important gathering place in the future.
Xue Fu's plan was simple and effective, and left a large space for development. Li Bin was full of praise after arriving, but in Zhang Mai's eyes, this Youzhou city was extremely dilapidated - because he had another city in his mind. A huge super city with a population of 20 million people, the current Youzhou City is worse than a small town in later generations. In the future, if it is to be a city with a radius of thousands of miles, controlling the northeast and the sea in the east, and Monan in the north, With Mobei, Nanlong, and the regional center of Shandong, this city is obviously overwhelmed. Xue Fu's current plan can only be used as a temporary need within a few years.
Therefore, after entering the golden account, Zhang Mai asked Li Fang to summon a person from the secretarial group who was good at drawing, and made several immediate plans on the spot:
1. Define Youzhou as Beijing and order Kanchoying to select a site to prepare for the construction of a new city in the future;
2. Rename the main river road after the confluence of Zhang, Qing, Juma, and Gu waters to Haihe, and open Tianjin Port at the estuary of Haihe;
Third, establish a new warehouse in Hejin Town between Beijing and Tianjin to move the grain stored in Pingyoucang and Gongjicang northward for supply;
Four. Establish a domestic tariff system, especially focusing on the construction of the three main trade roads Youye (Youzhou to Yedu), Youyun (Youzhou to Yunzhou), and Youding (Youzhou to Dingliaocheng), and invest in security along the way to ensure Ensure the smooth flow of these three trade arteries;
5. On a voluntary basis, encourage the people of Liangzhou¡ªespecially the military family members of the core force of Tiance¡ªto move to Beijing.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
this era. The environment in Youzhou is quite good. Juma, Sanggan, Lu, Qiu, Qing and other rivers crisscross the territory. There are lakes and lakes everywhere. The land is fertile and the water source is abundant. This is the only place. For farming, even with the agricultural technology of this era, it is enough to support millions of people. There are natural dangers to defend in the east, west and north directions, and there is an open hinterland to the south. Historically, since the Song Dynasty, with the eastward shift of the economic center, it is not without reason that all dynasties have chosen to make their capital here. Therefore, Zhang Mai attaches great importance to the Youzhou area. It far exceeded the expectations of Xue Fu, Fan Zhi and others.
Fan Zhi was slightly surprised when he saw Zhang Mai making such a huge plan, and wanted to intervene several times, but Zhang Mai was obviously very arbitrary about this, so Fan Zhi and others did not dare to make any mistakes. Just listen silently and prepare for the next specific matters.
Fan Zhi and Wei Renpu have long been accustomed to Zhang Mai's style of doing things. He would not compromise easily on some major matters, but he did not mind that Fan Zhi, Wei Renpu and others made repairs and improvements within his framework, and even appreciated it very much. The modifications and adjustments made by Fan Zhi, Wei Renpu and others always brought It has a richer ancient Chinese color, and some details are more down-to-earth for this era. Their talents not only allowed them to be reused by Zhang Mai, but also made Zheng Wei their biggest supporter. Tiance's internal affairs system will become what it is today. In fact, it can also be regarded as the Central Plains represented by Zhang Mai, Fan and Wei. The result of the game between enlightened scholars.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
Zhang Mai has finished dictating. The generals also arrived one after another. It was okay for Yang Xinzhe to leave Sima Humeng and others. Shi Jian, Guo Zhang, Wei Fei, and Ding Hanshan couldn't help but burst into tears when they saw Zhang Mai. The four brave men who bleed but didn't shed tears couldn't help crying when they saw Zhang Mai. Just like a seven or eight year old.
Zhang Mai felt a surge of heat in his chest. He couldn't help but rushed down from his seat and hugged Shi Ding and Guo Wei. Tears rolled down his face involuntarily. Then he couldn't control his voice and burst into tears.
These four people are not only his subordinates, but also his brothers and sisters, people who can trust their lives. In the past two years, they have traveled thousands of miles on an expedition to Mobei. They all hold the thought that they will never see each other again in this life. At this time, they suddenly met, Who can endure the emotional catharsis that feels like a reunion after a lifetime?
The five people hugged each other, no one said anything, but Shi Jian was howling: "Marshal, Marshal!" Guo Zhang shouted: "Brother Mai, Brother Mai"
However, everyone in the tent knew how happy and how sad their speechless words were. When they separated in Ganliang, it seemed like a lifetime ago.
Yang Xinzhe also shed tears when he saw it. Xue Fu was a rational man and couldn't help but have wet eyes at this time. Li Bin also shed tears when he was pushed in from outside the tent. Fan Zhi, Wei Renpu, Li Fang and others Wen Chen was just moved when he saw it, but Gao Huaide was so excited that he thought to himself, "How wonderful it would be if I were born in New Suiye City and followed the marshal all the way eastward!"¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
When Fu Yanqing led Jing Chong, the overlord of Shi Gong, to visit him, he couldn't help but feel worried. When he met Jing Yanguang on the road, they only exchanged glances without saying a word. This was the first time Fu Yanqing visited Zhang Mai as a minister. He didn't know what kind of treatment the new Lord would give them. Unexpectedly, after entering the account, he didn't see a high-ranking Zhang Mai, he didn't see a majestic and inviolable Zhang Mai, but he saw a company with several members. The generals who had not removed their swords hugged Zhang Mai and cried loudly.
However, Fu Yanqing and others were touched more deeply than seeing Zhang Mai who looked like a lofty emperor.
This is their new master, a man who has conquered thousands of miles but still maintains a family-like relationship with his subordinates. Such a man is completely beyond the imagination of Fu Yanqing and others. Among the monarchs they had served, no one had ever had such a temperament.
When Zhang Mai saw Fu Yanqing waiting to come in, he held back his tears and smiled and said, "Look what we look like, it's a joke!"
When Shi Jian heard this, he quickly wiped away his tears and stood in rows with Wei Fei and others, standing as straight as pillars.
Fu Yanqing and Jing Yanguang were even more dejected. Shi Jian and others had already entered Youzhou, and Fu Yanqing and others recognized them. But now they saw this scene and heard these words. Then he knew that he was "different internally and externally" from Shi Jian and others.
The four of them bowed and paid homage after Zhang Mai returned to his seat.
After the generals finished saluting, Zhang Mai adjusted his choked tone, comforted Fu Yanqing and others, and then said: "I have summoned you all to come here today for several things. First, we have joined forces in Youzhou, and we must celebrate. All at once. So starting from tonight, all armies will be divided into three shifts, one shift every night. There will be a bonfire banquet, no limit on wine and meat, and the whole army will have a carnival."
All the generals were overjoyed when they heard this. Zhang Mai added: "As for the second thing, I plan to hold a grand military parade after the autumn harvest. All the troops in the Youzhou area will participate. Fan Yanguang, who is now in Wuqing County, has also been ordered to train his troops. Wu, we will come when the time comes. After you go back, you should supervise the soldiers to train diligently and let me see your style."
The generals will listen. They may be surprised or happy, but everyone is a little excited! Especially the generals who returned from Mobei. The fighting in Mobei was only shown through battle reports. The marshal did not see it with his own eyes. This time, he had to perform well. Even Fu Yanqing and others had plans in mind, knowing that this military parade might affect their future.
"As for the third one, I want to issue a no-war order for the autumn harvest. Spread it throughout the world!"
"No war order for autumn harvest?"
"Yes!" Zhang Mai said: "The autumn harvest is coming soon. In the past year, both the Central Plains and beyond the Great Wall have experienced many disasters. Therefore, I want to issue this order: From now on until the end of the busy farming season, all wars in the Central Plains will cease! Whoever dares to use weapons rashly, no matter what the reason is, I will be the first to attack him after the autumn harvest is over! All armies under my control must try their best to protect the autumn harvest. Anyone who dares to invade farmland will be killed!"
Fu Yanqing was greatly moved and knelt down and said: "The Marshal is indeed a benevolent king, and he is so lucky to have such a king in the world. How lucky he is!"
Zhang Mai smiled and said, "I didn't expect General Fu to be good at dropping his book bag."
All the generals in the tent laughed when they heard this. Fu Yanqing was a little surprised at first. Then looking at Zhang Mai's smile, it seemed that there was no malice in it. Instead, he felt relaxed and happy. His Majesty was willing to joke with him. This was a good thing for him. Good start.
Zhang Mai added: "In addition, there is one more thing. I want to spread the word to the Central Plains - all the prefectures and counties under my jurisdiction from the east of Tongguan to the east will be exempted from agricultural taxes this year! Hebei and Shandong were depleted by Shi Jingtang. It¡¯s unbearable, now we must try to give everyone a chance to recuperate.¡±
As soon as these words came out, all the generals who were not in charge of the family nodded in praise, but Fan Zhi and Wei Renpu were stunned - they are Confucian children and have always advocated benevolent government, but the problem is that now they are the leaders, so they naturally understand the consequences of doing so. ! Even Xue Fu frowned.
If Zhang Mai really wants to do this, the pressure will be too great for them, but it is difficult for them to oppose it. The biggest beneficiaries of Zhang Mai¡¯s benevolent policy are Hebei and Shandong. If he gives up because of their opposition, they will be punished by their elders later. The villagers poked their spines and cursed them to death.
¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª
After several major events were arranged, Zhang Mai asked the ministers and generals if there were any major events to report.
Although Xue Fu had several arrangements, he planned to discuss them with Zhang Mai after the meeting. Seeing that no one spoke, Fu Yanqing went out again and said: "Zhao Zan of Dengzhou sent an envoy to Youzhou. Now he is here I will go under the general's tent and observe on the road with my subordinates. I see that he is indeed willing to surrender. Please call the marshal to summon him."
Zhang Maiqi said: "Dengzhou?"
He knew that Dengzhou is located in the northern part of Shandong Peninsula and belongs to??Shandong is the most important seaport city in the Central Plains. It is not surprising that Shandong officials have come to surrender now. It is just that there have been many state and county officials who have surrendered during this period. Except for a few outstanding people, they are not qualified to come to Zhang Mai's account. Come here, let alone a mere envoy - what's the point of Dengzhou officials not going to Yedu to seek refuge, but taking the route of Youzhou?
Cao Yuanzhong suddenly interjected: "The chief of Dengzhou should not be called Zhao Zan." During this period, he was responsible for foreign negotiations and surrender. Not only Hebei, but also officials above the county level in Shandong were well aware of it.
"Yes." Jing Yanguang said: "Zhao Zan is not an official of Shi Jin. He is the grandson of Zhao Dejun. When Zhao Dejun fled into Shandong and was destroyed in Shandong, the rest of the people supported Zhao Zan and fled to the island to become bandits. Shi Jin was worried internally. Under the foreign invasion, they could not slow down and kill him. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zan was quite talented. His soldiers and horses attacked Deng, Lai, and Zhuzhou, and captured all the coastal ships. Then they settled on the islands offshore of Dengzhou. Dengzhou Although the officials in Laizhou were still appointed by Shi Jingtang, the ports were controlled by Zhao Zan's people, and the officials sent by Shi Jingtang became decorations. Zhao Zan used overseas trade to connect Korea and Japan in the east and Wu, Yue, Fujian, and Nantang. Han, he has accumulated a huge fortune in just a few years. Now Zhao Zan is willing to use his family wealth to seek a title. The surrender of this person will not only bring huge financial resources to our army, but also help us open up a sea route, not just one state or one state. The land is comparable, and the marshal has a far-sighted vision. He naturally knows the importance."
Zhang Mai was overjoyed after only listening to half of it!
After all, Tiance's human resources are limited, and all good knives are used on steel blades. In recent years, Zhang Mai has focused most of his energy on the Khitan and the Central Plains, and has paid relatively little attention to the southeastern coast. But now When we reach the East China Sea, the situation is naturally different. What's more, in Zhang Mai's mind, the sea power is only ten times higher than Fu Yanqing expected! Now Fu Yanqing has brought such a generous gift. For Zhang Mai, this is as great a contribution as pacifying Youcang!
Zhang Mai waved his hand and said, "Generals, please go back. Only Xue Fu, Yuan Zhong, Wen Su, and Dao Ji can stay to discuss matters."
The generals then bowed and left. Fu Yanqing saw that Zhang Mai's eyes were still on him, so he did not go out.
After the generals left. Zhang Mai said to Ma Xiaochun: "Rearrange the table!"
Ma Xiaochun took two attendants to arrange the six tables in a circle, and placed a small table next to Zhang Mai's desk so that Li Fang could take notes.
Zhang Mai said: "Sit down and talk."
Seeing Xue Fu and others sitting on the left and right respectively, Fu Yanqing also sat down at the last table. The six tables formed a circle and were very close to each other. The civil servants were on the right and the generals on the left. Fu Yanqing happened to be sitting opposite Zhang Mai, and he could reach him when he stood up. Fu Yanqing felt happy again, knowing that Zhang Mai was one step closer to trusting him.
Zhang Mai waited for Fu Yanqing to sit down and asked, "Do you know what kind of person this Zhao Zan is?"
Fu Yanqing thought to himself: "The marshal's opinion is really different. He doesn't ask about Zhao Zan's strength and wealth, but first asks about his character." He replied: "This man is a military general, but he has the qualifications of a civil servant. He can recite at the age of seven. There are dozens of volumes of books, which are highly praised by the world. He runs the army with great laws and can make the officials and the people obey him. Therefore, in these years, the subordinates left by his grandfather not only do not rebel, but the army is getting stronger day by day. He and Scholar-officials in Shandong and Hebei had many connections. In recent years, they had frequent contacts with Jiangnan Shilin through maritime transportation. The development of overseas trade to the current scale was inseparable from the secret support of the Qilu family and the Jiangnan family. It can be said that He may be over-reputed as a general, but he is indeed a man of all-round talents in both civil and military affairs."
Zhang Mai praised: "What a talent! If you are not exaggerating." He then asked: "If someone else is in Dengzhou, why would they follow your path to join me?"
Fu Yanqing said: "Zhao Zan is from Youzhou, and Youzhou is his hometown. After he established a foothold overseas, the first thing he did was to open a stronghold on the seaside here. The Khitan needed sea goods, so from He cannot help but do business with the Yan people, and Du Chongwei also needs some of his freight. Therefore, the connection between Dengzhou and this place has never been broken. His people want to come to Youzhou, which is much more direct and convenient than going to Ye. "
"He also has a stronghold here?"
"yes."
"Where?"
"In a small village called Hekou, it was just a small village at the beginning. A few years later, it has become a small town." Fu Yanqing said: "This small town is remote by the sea. Major events in Youzhou are undecided, so this will be the final destination." I didn¡¯t pay attention to it for a while.¡±
Zhang Mai ordered him to get a map. Fu Yanqing pointed at it, and Li Fang let out a sigh. Cao Yuanzhong said, "Isn't this the Tianjin that the marshal decided on?"
Fu Yanqing came a little late and didn't hear Zhang Mai's arrangements. He was stunned and said: "Tianjin?"
Cao Yuanzhong explained Zhang Mai¡¯s plan just now. Fu Yanqing feltHe sighed and said: "The marshal is far-sighted and far-sighted, and I can't match him."
Cao Yuanzhong said: "It would be fine if this place was a wasteland, but now he has captured it first. If we go to build a city and open a port, will there be any trouble?"
Fu Yanqing said: "Since he has come to surrender, it is natural to show some sincerity. It's just a small town, so why not!"
Zhang Mai pondered for a moment and said: "Since there is a ready-made port in Tianjin, it is better. We will not be busy with the opening of the port for the time being. Yanqing, since Zhao Zan has come to you, what will happen to Zhao Zan in the future?" You will be responsible for the matter. After meeting the messenger, you can do three things for me."
Fu Yanqing was secretly happy and responded: "Yes!"
Zhang Mai was about to give instructions when suddenly a bell rang outside the tent. Zhang Mai, Xue Fu and others were all shocked. This was the bell that would interrupt the meeting only if there was an urgent need!
Xue Fu thought there was a military rebellion, his face changed slightly, he stood up and said, "What's the matter!"
A messenger rushed in and presented an encrypted report. Zhang Mai opened it and glanced at it. His eyebrows almost stood up and he said angrily: "Bastard!"
