In the earliest agreement with Duan Heng, I promised to use Dali City as Duan Heng's autonomous place, so I placed the administrative seat (provincial capital) of Yunnan Province in Kunming. As for "Kunming is the Kunming of my Zhao family, and it is also Yunnan." "Kunming of all ethnic groups," this sentence has many meanings. Different people may have different understandings. As for Duan Heng's state of mind at the time, I don't know, and it's even less clear for Gao Da, Tian Xiuyan and others. .
"Congratulations, Your Majesty," Duan Donglou said excitedly, "After fifteen years, Your Majesty can finally leave Tianlong Temple."
"Well, East Tower, from this moment on, the relics are empty and the name of the relics has become history,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Donglou will return to his original name from now on,"
Duan Heng nodded slightly and said: "Donglou, you have been running around for more than ten years. It has been really hard on you."
"Why, my lord, you have endured it in Tianlong Temple for so long. This is called hard work for you,"
Tian Xiuyan said: "Prince Duan, General Duan, this is called after the rain, the sky will clear, and after all the hardships, there will be happiness."
"Haha, General Tian is right,"
Gao Dao said: "It's getting late, Prince Duan, I'll take my leave first and leave the government affairs of Yunnan to you."
Duan Heng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Commander Gao."
"Well, Prince Duan, according to your Majesty's decree, the Miao Family Military Region will set up Hongyuan Grand Wizard to lead three thousand soldiers to stay in Kunming to assist the prince in handling daily affairs and maintaining order in Kunming. In addition, Mr. Ye Dongsheng will also stay in Kunming. Dali, establish Yunnan Province Longya Branch,"
Duan Heng smiled slightly: "Duan will obey the emperor's will."
"Prince Duan, I am about to go to Dali City. The future military arrangements for Yunnan Province will be discussed after Dali City is pacified,"
"Okay, please, Commander Gao,"
Returning to the north gate, Fan Wenhu reported: "Commander Gao, the enemies at each city gate have been eliminated. After preliminary counting, including General Shariwei's troops, our army has a total of 612 killed and 500 wounded in this battle." We killed more than 5,000 enemy soldiers, 3,000 of whom were Mongolians or soldiers from the Western Regions, including Brother Yue, the commander of the thousand men. In addition, our army captured more than 6,000 enemy soldiers, including more than 400 Mongolian soldiers. However, There are still more than a thousand Dali troops who took advantage of the chaos and escaped into the people's houses in the city."
"These prisoners and the escaped Dali sergeants are a problem," Gundam thought for a while and said, "General Duan Donglou, in addition to the three thousand troops in the city, how many troops do you have around Kunming?"
"Commander Gao, five thousand soldiers will gather in Kunming within two days,"
"Five thousand, three thousand, eight thousand, plus the three thousand troops of the Miao Military Region, eleven thousand, General Duan Donglou, to maintain order in Kunming and guard the prisoners, do you think these troops are enough?"
"Commander Gao, in Duan's opinion, leaving eight thousand is enough."
"Well, General Duan Donglou, give me three thousand troops to accompany our army to Dali City. You can stay in Kunming with the Great Wizard Hongyuan to assist Prince Duan in commanding the remaining troops."
Duan Donglou said: "Commander Gao, in recent years, although the Mongolian army has withdrawn about 30,000 people from Dali to the north, there are still more than 40,000 people including the Dali army. The main forces are all concentrated in the Dali City area. Dali City It was once the capital of the Dali Kingdom. The city walls were tall and difficult to attack, but Duan is familiar with Dali City and will definitely be able to help Gao Shuai."
"My commander-in-chief hopes that General Duan can go with him, but who will command the troops in Kunming City?"
Duan Donglou smiled and said: "Commander Gao, don't worry. Duan's three apprentices, Duan Tianyang, Ji Mu, and Jin Zhenyuan, are all in the city. The three of them are the three commanders of Duan's army, so they can handle it."
"Okay, General Tian, please order all the troops to rest for two hours before sending troops to Dali City."
In the Guanzitan camp outside Xiangyang City, I chatted with Jiang Wanzai and others while drinking tea.
"Your Majesty, since the battle between Yin Tianya and Mr. Yuan, except for the occasional friction between the navy, the land has been quiet for several days. I wonder what Ashu is thinking."
"Jiang Aiqing, I guess Ah Shu is thinking hard about how to crack our dynasty's firearms,"
"Your Majesty, should our army take the initiative to attack?"
"Of course we do, we just have to wait a few days. According to intelligence, a 15,000-strong reinforcement force from the Mongolian East Route Army is already on its way to Xiangfan. Once this team arrives, our army will begin When attacking, I want the Yuan army to advance without retreating."
"Your Majesty, it seems that Kublai Khan will make a miscalculation this time,"
"Report," Gongsun Xiaochen, who had just brought Hans and others from Yingzhou City, came in and said: "Your Majesty, Yingzhou has sent an urgent letter to Lin'an Palace."
"Urgent letter," I was shocked and said, "Why, something happened in the palace."
Although Gongsun Xiaochen was my temporary imperial secretary, he did not dare to open and read the report from the palace. This letter was written by the Queen Mother Xie Daoqing herself. I opened it immediately after taking it and only read half of it before laughing. : "A happy event, a great happy event,"
Fang Ling said: "Brother, what's the happy event?"
"The queen is pregnant,"
"Really? Sister Quan has a baby,"
"Exactly,"
Fang Ling hurriedly grabbed the letter from my hand and read it. Fang Ling read it very quickly, and in a few breaths she smiled and said: "Brother, the Queen Mother also said that Sister Shu Fei is fine. In addition, the Queen Mother and Sister Quan are still alive." I want you to give me a name,"
I said dumbly: "Really? There are still several months left, so you are anxious for me to pick a name."
"Well, that's what the Queen Mother said. Brother, how about you think about it first?"
"Don't think about it, Ling'er, I've already prepared it."
Fang Ling said: "So fast,"
"Well, the child in the queen's belly is called Zhao Xian,"
"Xian," Fang Ling said, "The sun is up and the karma is down,"
"Exactly, there is a note in "Erya": 'Xian, Ming Jian'. What I mean is to let my light of China spread all over the world. Ling'er, please reply to the queen for me,"
"Okay, brother," Fang Ling said, "Xiao Chen, how about the word 'Xian'? You, a half-immortal, can do it for the little prince."
"Ah," Gongsun Xiaochen said hurriedly, "Concubine Ling, this general will not dare to count."
"Why,"
"I don't know what the empress is. The emperor or the heir to the throne has a special destiny, but the ability of the general is far from enough."
"There is another saying,"
Gongsun Xiaochen said "grace" and affirmed: "Your Majesty, my Emperor Gu Shutang has a saying, 'The emperor does not look at the appearance of the emperor, and the orders of the magicians are not taken into account.' Unless you are a person with extraordinary skills, you can do whatever you want. deduction,"
Fang Ling asked curiously: "Why is this?"
"My dear, the emperor's appearance is that of a dragon and a tiger. His destiny is extremely powerful. If an ordinary person tries to calculate it by force, he is bound to suffer the backlash of his influence. In the mild case, the brain will be damaged. In severe cases, one of the seven orifices will be injured. And the magician's destiny is too repetitive. Because they often deduce the way of heaven and get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven, if the scale cannot be grasped and the secrets of heaven are directly revealed, the life phase will be reversed, so magicians will not calculate each other."
Fang Lingdao: "It turns out there are so many things to pay attention to,"
I smiled and continued to ask: "Xiao Chen, is there any other news from the court?"
"Your Majesty, there is also a letter from Mr. Wen Tianxiang,"
"Why is it a letter and not a memorial?" I said as I opened Wen Tianxiang's letter.
Wen Tianxiang mentioned in the letter that in order to achieve economic indicators, local governments have thought of many ways. However, in recent times, many places have increased their income by buying and selling land. In some places, land transfer fees have even increased. Accounting for 30% to 40% of its fiscal revenue, this method can not only quickly increase its income, but also promote related economic development. The government is very happy about this, and even worse, some places even purchase it at a low price. The people's private land is then resold to businessmen. It is not known whether there is farmers' farmland among them. On the surface, this method does not violate the laws of our dynasty, but I always feel that this law is inappropriate and I don't know how to support it. I still object, but please give your Majesty instructions in your busy schedule.
I immediately realized that this is a replica of later generations' efforts to boost GDP by buying and selling land.
This method is the easiest to achieve immediate results. It seems that the Chinese people's ability to be opportunistic and eager for quick success has been the same from ancient times to the present.
"I will personally reply to Wen Aiqing's letter. Everything in Lin'an City should be normal,"
"Your Majesty, it's basically normal. This is the main memorial to the court that Grand Master, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Zhao asked the general to bring back. Please ask the emperor to read it," Gongsun Xiaochen handed me a thick stack of documents in his hand.
I quickly read through these documents. The government affairs of the DPRK and China are indeed completely normal, and the economy continues to grow. According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, and the Ministry of Agriculture, the tax revenue situation in the first half of this year is good. It is expected that by the end of June, the full year will be completed. I am very satisfied with the report of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. In the past two months, anti-corruption cases in various places have been on a downward trend, and there has been no increase in tax revenue. Major cases occur.
"Xiao Chen, these memorials that need to be signed by me are all accurate. You can stamp them with my jade seal and send them to Yingzhou. In addition, send Han Si in."
"Yes, Your Majesty,"
"Your Majesty, Hans, comes to see you,"
"Excuse me, Hans. I have recruited you from Lin'an to prepare for the construction of a field hospital so that our wounded soldiers can be treated in time. The most critical of these is surgery. Hans, I have appointed you as a field hospital for this field hospital." The director of the hospital,"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey your order,"
"Well, Hans, on the way from Yingzhou to Guanzitan, you passed Songhepo. I plan to set up a field hospital there. Different from the fixed hospitals in the city, this field hospital will follow the Our army will be relocated due to the movement of our army, so its construction facilities should be as simple as possible."
"Your Majesty, I understand,"
"In addition to timely treatment of the wounded of our army, there must be a lot of enemy corpses on the battlefield, which you can use for medical experiments. Also, the enemy prisoners captured by our army can also be used for experiments if you need them. , of course, this can only be done secretly,"
