Chapter 204 New Appointment
Xu Huai went back to Nancai to visit relatives this time. In addition to inspecting the construction of Nancai, the more important reason was that the court had already transferred Junyang's younger brother Gao Juntang to Ezhou to replace Wang Fan to take over the position of the military and horse capital in Jingbei.
Wang Fan's whereabouts have not been decided yet, so he has to go to Jianye to report his duties first.
However, there has been a lot of controversy in the court about where Wang Fan is going.
Hu Kai, Zhu Han and others hope that Wang Fan can return to the center, either serve as deputy envoy of the Privy Council or as assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and will become a member of the central priest group in the future.
Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others saw that the situation in Jinghu was slightly stable, and insisted on transferring Wang Fan away from Jinghu to prevent Xu Huai and Wang Fan from colluding with each other and controlling Jinghu. Naturally, they would not tolerate Wang Fan returning to the center and assist Hu Kai in the affairs of the Privy Council, or take charge of the Ministry of War.
The attitude of the Huai Prince's Mansion was also very firm, and he strongly advocated that Wang Fan should avoid it; the Zheng family remained silent.
Thinking of his father Wang Fan leaving Jingbei, he might be transferred to Fujian Road or Guangnan to serve in a long time. I don’t know when he will see him again after leaving. Wang Xuan has to go back to Nancai this time to have a small gathering with his father Wang Fan.
Including Shuangliu Village, a large area north of Xiaoheling along the Han River was included in Nancai, and a group of Wang clans built houses in Nancai City.
Wang Xuan is the wife of Hou. The Wang family has contributed to the construction of Nancai City. Naturally, Chushan also treated the best alleys next to Yingchunfang to build a house for the Wang family.
No matter where Wang Fan worked in the future, his roots were always in Shuangliu Village, Nancai, and also built a large house with five entrances and three entrances in Yingchunfang; Zheng Shou and Wang Kong's family also moved to Nancai.
The newly built Marquis of Jingsheng was used as a provincial school house. Xu Huai and Wang Xuan arrived in Lin Nancai and temporarily lived in the Wang family's mansion. Two days later, Wang Fan handed over official duties with Gao Juntang, and left Jiangxia City and crossed the river to Nancai.
Although the average age in the world is very low, it is mainly still young children are prone to death, and the poor at the bottom are caused by hunger. For gentry and even literati, they are considered to be in their fifties as young as the age of 50.
After Wang Fan got married, he followed the persuasion of his tribe members and married Zhou Yao, the sister of Ezhou Tongzong Zhou Yanlu.
In his early years, Zhou Yao married the son of Chen Kai, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, and was married to the son of Chen Kai, and Bianliang fell. Zhou Yao returned to his parents' home to visit relatives and escaped. Chen Kai, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, surrendered to the enemy in Bianliang, and Zhou Yao cut off relations with his husband's family from then on.
Although Zhou Yao is not a young girl, he is just in his early thirties and is a beautiful woman with a charming charm.
When Xu Huai married Wang Xuan, Wang Fan could be said to have been wandering for half his life. After suffering, his temples were already white. When he got together at this time, he looked very beautiful, and it was obvious that the bride took good care of him.
Wang Fan was quite concerned about the transfer from Jinghu North Road. Of course, he was more complaining about the sergeant ministers of the court at this time for the constraints on Chushan:
"Gao Junyang was named Duke of County, and his nephews Gao Jingyu and others were named Duke of County, and the county marquis were named Duke of County. After the year, many defense lines were adjusted and they were in charge of the Western Qin Road, but the court was relieved. This time, his younger brother Gao Juntang was also transferred to take charge of the troops of Jingbei. I have been in contact for several days and am quite arrogant. In front of Kong Changyu, I did not hide my complaints about Jingbei's agreement to Chushan to set up Nan Cai in Ezhou in the past two years-"
Dangxiang was about to fall completely. In order to deal with the possibility of Chihu's troops passing through the Qishan Ancient Road into Sichuan and Shu, the imperial court made large-scale adjustments to the Qinling Line and the Sichuan Gorge Fourth Route Supervision Office after the New Year.
The imperial court moved the former Lizhou Prefecture Road from Lizhou Guangyuan to Hanzhong and relocated Xiqin Road.
Xiqin Road incorporates the southern area of Qinfeng Road (the western section of Qinling Mountains) defended by Gao Junyang, as well as the northern area of Lizhou Fu Road, including Wuzhou, Qinzhou and other places inside and outside the Qishan Ancient Road, as well as the western part of Hanzhong Prefecture.
Gao Junyang was appointed as the commander of Xiqin Road.
The imperial court also set up Dongchuan Road, including Lantian, Shangzhou and other places defended by Gu Jiqian's troops in the eastern section of the Qinling Mountains, as well as the northern areas of Kuizhou Road and Fangling in the eastern part of Hanzhong Prefecture. Gu Jiqian was appointed as the commander.
In addition, other places in the fourth Chuanxia Road were incorporated into the newly established Xichuan Road, with Chengdu Prefecture as the supervisory office.
At present, the five defense lines against Chihu invasion in the south, Gao Junyang, Gu Jiqian, Zheng Huaizhong, and Huaiwang Palace were divided into four roads, Xiqin, Dongchuan, Huaidong and Huaixi, which had all drawn a considerable depth of defense.
In order to better win over, we have important figures in the Gao family, Gu family, Gao family, and Gu family who are transferred to the center or hinterland to serve more important roads. Gao family was Gao Juntang, the younger brother of Gao Junyang. He was previously in the Imperial Camp Command, and at this time he was transferred to Jingbei to replace Wang Fan as the military and horse management station.
However, Hu Kai, Zhu Han, Qian Zerui and others advocated the merger of Nanyang Prefecture into Chushan and resetting Jingxi South Road in order to better resist the enemy of Jingxi and Heluo, but was fiercely opposed by Huai Prince's Mansion, Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others and gave up.
Now, the only defense line of the five routes is Chushan. If the floods between Ruying and Ying are flooded and the enemy in the west are effectively isolated, it would be Chushan's expense to complete it at a huge cost.
While Chu Shan secretly supported Dongzhou Village, he also repeatedly requested to build one or two new overseas Chinese counties in the Linjiang area of Jingzhou to recruit Dongzhou Village naturally. However, it is still strongly opposed by the Huai Palace, Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others without progress.
Although Chushan had no connection or restraint with the Gao family before, when Gao Juntang arrived in Jingbei, he expressed strong dissatisfaction with Chushan's establishment of Nan Cai in northern Ezhou, mainly related to the remnants of the Khitan.
After Xiao Linshi surrendered to the name of Xiao Linshi, Emperor Jianji sent Xiao Linshi to lead the remnants of the Khitan to live in Qinzhou west of Qishan, and was adjacent to Fengzhou and other places in the western section of the Qinling Mountains that Gao Junyang was responsible for guarding.
Gao Junyang always thought that the remnants of the Khitan were under their control, but Xiao Linshi refused; Emperor Jianji initially had no nominal control over Gao Junyang for the purpose of appeaseing the remnants of the Khitan.
During this major adjustment of the administrative area and defense line of Sichuan Gorges, the imperial court officially assigned Qinzhou to the jurisdiction of Xiqin Road.
Qinzhou is destined to be a main attack direction for the Chihu people. Xiao Linshi wrote letters repeatedly, requesting the remnants of the Khitans to withdraw to the hinterland of Sichuan and Shu. The troops of his troops could accept Gao Junyang's control and participate in the defense of the Chihu people in the Qishan direction.
However, Gao Junyang wanted the remnants of the Khitan to be nailed to Qinzhou and not to leave, so he would guard this gateway for the Western Qin Road.
For this reason, Xiao Linshi and Gao Junyang had a strong quarrel several times, and Xiao Linshi had to threaten to lead the remnants of the Khitan to move westward, and the relationship was extremely poor.
The relationship between Chu Mountain and the remnants of the Khitan tribe is well known.
Chen Zixiao, Zhang Zishan, Han Lurong, Han Qihu and others were originally Xiao Linshi's generals, and at least it was not a secret at the top of Dayue.
After the remnants of the Khitan moved westward to Qinzhou, Chen Zixiao and others led the Han people who retreated south to Chushan and joined the Chushan Mountain to serve. Chen Zixiao was promoted to the former army commander of the Chushan Xingying, Wang Ju, the commander of the Left Army, Xu Wuji, and the commander of the Right Army, Wang Xian, and one of the four major commanders of the Chushan Mountain. Xu Huai also wrote several letters before, requesting the court to accept the remnants of the Khitan to retreat to Sichuan and Shu.
In addition to being cautious about Chushan, the Huai Prince's Mansion, Zhou He, Gao Chunnian and others were also afraid of the hostile relationship with the Khitan over the years. They accepted the remnants of the Khitans and retreated into Sichuan and Sichuan to cause wolves to enter the house, and firmly opposed it.
More importantly, Gao Junyang was determined not to compromise and retreat. Emperor Jianji hoped that the Gao family would defend the Western Qin, but he could not be too persistent in this matter.
In the court, it is never possible to solve all problems with just a single edict.
That's right, Chu Shan had nothing to do with the Gao family, which was involved, and became worse.
Although Kong Changyu, the former commander of the Jingbei Commander, was also a member of the scholar-official group, his relationship with Chu Shan has always been cold.
However, in the flood season last year, the Dongjing Alliance launched a large number of troops in the prefectures and counties on the north bank of the Jingjiang River. The troops in Jingbei reinforced in Huainan and returned slowly. This was Xu Huai's decisive use of troops and used dozens of elite cavalry to severely defeat the Dongjing Alliance's delusion of invading the Ezhou area. Later, more than a thousand elite troops were transferred to Hanchuan.
The King of the King was also appointed as the military commander of Jingbei.
Therefore, Chushan established Nancai County in Ezhou, and the officials of the entire Jingbei Supervisory Office recognized it with extremely complex emotions.
Although the Dongjing Alliance has not withdrawn from the north bank of the Jingjiang River and is firmly controlling the Linjiang area in Jingzhou, Fuzhou and other places, the situation has improved greatly compared with last year's flood season.
After Ge Boyi took over the command of Jingnan, he drew 5,000 elite troops from Huaixi from 40,000 water and land troops in Jingnan. He is currently actively encircling and suppressing the Dongjing Alliance in Tanzhou, Xiangzhou and other places, and has almost attracted the main force of the Dongjing Alliance back to the coastal area along Dongting Lake south of Jingjiang.
The scar has healed and it has forgotten the pain.
At this time, officials in Jingbei saw that the heart of Hubei was dug by Chushan. Even though they were unable to change the fait accompli, they were secretly more or less dissatisfied.
Gao Juntang's appointment will undoubtedly complicated the situation in Jingbei.
Kong Changyu may be treacherous and will not openly argue with Chu Shan, but Gao Juntang and Chu Shan are not in a fight, so he is obviously happy to see it.
After all, even though Chu Shan was trusted by Emperor Jianji, he was too powerful in the court, and was in a vague position with the Huai Prince's Mansion and the sect and ministers, so many things seemed difficult.
"Your Majesty has not decided where the king is going," Shi Zhen, who accompanied Xu Huai to Nancai for inspection, saw Wang Fan's face frowning when talking about his future, comforted him, "Your Majesty Wang is going to Jianye, maybe there is a turning point in this matter..."
There was a big dispute over Wang Fan's whereabouts, and the voices against Wang Fan's return to the center were particularly strong, but Emperor Jianji never made a conclusion. It was obvious that he also hoped that the center would have more voices to check and balance the Huai Wangfu system and the scholars' community.
Shi Zhen thought that as long as Emperor Jianji was determined enough, or Wang Fan could gain more trust from Emperor Jianji, he would have the chance to stay in the center.
Shi Zhen said to Xu Huai again: "Since Gao Juntang is quite arrogant, then Lord Shi Zhen will go to Jiangxia to avoid unnecessary disputes."
"Okay..." Xu Huai nodded and agreed.
The defending of Chushan relies on Jingbei's cooperation in many aspects. Gao Juntang took office. Xu Huai originally wanted to meet him and Kong Changyu and others to discuss the subsequent defense, but in this situation, he had no intention of going to Jiangxia.
