Chapter 495: Control the three states, not for cannon fodder
When Huang Mingrong woke up, he was shocked and subconsciously touched his arms. When his fingers touched the golden yellow, he breathed a sigh of relief: The thing is still there...
As an imperial envoy, he is inseparable from the imperial envoy. If the imperial envoy is gone, he will not be the imperial envoy.
"Drunk is a mistake..."
He muttered, but he was hungry and hard all the way, and had no ability to resist the wine and meat he had put on. It was normal for him to drink a little.
"It seems that the other party is still following the rules."
Huang Mingrong felt relieved to figure this out, as long as he followed the rules.
The light in the room was getting darker, so I was sleeping well. I had been sleeping for a long time, and it was about to be late at night.
With a clanging sound, the door opened, and as usual, the two yamen runners came in with food: "Sir, dinner is delivered."
Huang Mingrong was naturally very happy to have something to eat, but he ate enough at noon and was not hungry now. Instead, he was worried about his sloppy appearance. This look was really shameful, so he immediately tactfully proposed it.
The yamen runner Angryung smiled: "Don't worry, when you are full, you will bring bath soup and new clothes, as well as beds, etc."
Huang Mingrong was very happy when he heard this, but when he heard the "bed", he felt something was wrong. It was obvious that he wanted to settle himself here?
This side room is not big, and the walls are in vain. It seems that it is not suitable for my imperial envoy status.
Huang Mingrong touched his messy chin and asked tentatively: "Can your Lord Chen be in the state yamen?"
"Mr. Chen, you came by unfortunately, and he went on a long journey."
"ah!"
Huang Mingrong jumped up and said, "Have you gone far?"
Angry Angkor sighed: "Yes, we have just entered the prefecture and county town, and we are in a state of ruin. I don't know how much we have to do, so how can we stay idle."
Huang Mingrong hurriedly said, "If this is the case, shouldn't he stay in the prefecture office to take charge of the overall situation?"
"Haha, my adults are different. He can fight on horseback and treat the virtuous and humble. This time, he will go out of the city to recruit talents."
Huang Mingrong said in a bad mood and asked again: "How long will it take to come back?"
"That might be possible, as fast as several days, as slow as dozens of days... we don't know."
Upon hearing this, Huang Mingrong's face immediately turned into a bitter melon shape.
Angro coughed dryly: "Sir, we have just entered the prefectures and counties, and the city is quite unsafe, so you can stay in the room and not go out. We will send you three meals a day and all kinds of expenses."
Huang Mingrong's face became even more ugly: "I can't go out, either?"
"Hehe, it's not impossible, but when we get outside, if something happens, we won't care."
Seeing the other party's uncertain smile, Huang Mingrong understood that he had come over and stopped saying a word. Along the way, he was used to life and death, but he was even more afraid of death. Compared with life and death, the identity of the imperial envoy is actually no big deal.
...
In the public room of Chen Sanlang of the prefecture, Zhou Fencao, Zhou Hezhi and others were all in the line, with their faces calm.
Chen Sanlang tapped the case with his finger: "The Zhennan Jiedushi, governing the three states of Yongzhou, Manzhou and Yangzhou, is such a big deal and a big official hat."
The position of "Jiangduan" was originally an old system and is used today, mostly for temporary urgent calls, but almost without exception, they are all large official titles that were captured by one hand, just like the governor of the Eight Prefectures, with great power and many things in charge.
Now from Chen Sanlang's mouth, every time he talks about a state, everyone can't help but stumble. What a majesty this is about the matters of the three states?
Generally speaking, if a chief official in charge of a state is already at the peak of power. Now, an imperial edict has been issued, and three states have been directly enfeoffed. It is unimaginable that it is impossible to imagine.
Zhou Fencao coughed dryly and said, "It's just a mirror and water moon. How can such a good thing happen?"
Everyone knew that Yongzhou had just captured the prefectures and counties, and the soldiers had conquered all directions, and there were still many places that had not been taken down. If it went well, it would take one or two months to completely pacify. As for Manzhou, although the entire army of Shipojun and others were destroyed, the mountains were high and the road was far away, and there were many barbarians. It has not been a good place since ancient times. Not to mention Yangzhou, it was the rear territory of Yuan Wenchang. The Yuan family went to the expedition, and there were definitely not a lot of troops guarding. With their current strength, they wanted to attack, just like opening their mouths to bite hard bones. If they were not careful, their teeth would collapse.
All of these three places, the Manzhou and Yangzhou have rebelled and no longer recognized the imperial court as the main focus. Yongzhou fell and was in chaos, and the imperial court had long lost control. Then the new emperor sealed down the three major prefectures in one breath. In fact, it was nothing to the dynasty, it was just a hat of Xu Guan. It could not only win people's hearts and create opportunities. If Chen Sanlang was successful, he would really have to recover the three prefectures, which would be beneficial to the current situation of the court.
Since Li Hengwei died and the civil and military officials in the court have not many generals and people who can take advantage of it. Even if there are generals, there are no soldiers, and it is hard to cook without rice. At present, the soldiers who can call for gathering are all stationed in the capital area.
There is nothing to do about the situation outside.
Chen Sanlang's sudden appearance gave the new emperor a reminder, and he simply granted the title of "Zhennan Jiedushi" to control the three states.
This golden official title has unparalleled temptation for many people.
It’s a pity that many people do not include Chen Sanlang.
Because of the imperial edict, there was an order to send troops to Yangzhou and attack the rear of Yuan Wenchang, which made the Yuan family look forward to the front and back, but they were unable to meet the strength.
This strategy is right in a broad sense, but it is not in line with the facts. Chen Sanlang only had 10,000 or 20,000 troops to stabilize Yongzhou. It may be okay, but it is far from enough to send troops to Yangzhou.
The reason why Chen Sanlang was able to take over Yongzhou in a short period of time was to take a clever approach, which was equivalent to getting a big advantage. After all, the barbarian army he faced was a defeated army, and no opponent was there. But Yangzhou was different. It was the base camp that the Yuan family had been operating for decades. Even though the main force rebelled and went north, many people were left behind, responsible for producing and transporting food, grass and supplies.
Chen Sanlang is not very confident when facing them, at least not yet. After Yongzhou stabilizes, he will rest for a while and increase his troops, he may be able to fight.
But that will happen at least half a year later.
What will the world be like in half a year?
The new emperor had a clear idea of the abacus. In terms of justice, since Chen Sanlang and others were ministers, they should give up their egos, sacrifice their lives for the country, and create opportunities for the court at all costs.
But Chen Sanlang doesn’t want to be such cannon fodder!
So he would not accept the order and avoid it, but he would not want to be held on his head by the mirror-like name.
Not following the order does not mean resisting the order. These are two concepts.
Chen Sanlang had already made up his mind to leave the city tomorrow and recruit talents.
