"Master, you have to take a break. We have all killed the enemy camp. The Tang commander ordered that he should not leave the city to pursue him. There are only a few remaining enemies in Chishan City and they are still stubborn. We must leave it to other brothers to enjoy it!"

Listening to the soldiers beside him, Niu Er stopped, his blood plasma and sweat mixed together. Seeing the few enemy soldiers in front of him fleeing or surrendering, he felt that both layers of armor became heavy.

Hu Dangzhou has operated Chishan Bay for many years. Although his nest has only three gates, it is almost the same as the city. Chishan City is also full of streets and alleys, and Hu Dangzhou's Yugong General's Mansion.

The main force of the Tianxiong Army's rear army entering Chishan City was Yuanlei, the first wing of the Du Yuhou. At this time, in addition to controlling the south city gate, more than a thousand elite soldiers were going through the west city gate to the enemy's water camp to the west.

Niu Er and his team had already reached a stone alley on the south side of General Yu Gong's mansion. There were no enemy soldiers fighting stubbornly on both sides, front and back. Two martial soldiers came forward and helped Niu Er break the rods of the dozens of feathered arrows inserted into the wart armor they were penetrated, and then carefully untied the wart armor.

Most of the arrow clusters were stuck in the gaps of the wart armor, but three arrow clusters penetrated the inner layer of leather armor, and blood leaked out; when the guards immediately summoned the military doctor to twist the leather armor and cut it off more carefully, clean it up, and bandage it.

"Mr. Niu, how many heads have you paid? Is this time full of fun?" The elite troops of the Picking Front Army were responsible for attacking the tough battles, killing Chishan Village thoroughly, and the battle came to an end.

After Tang Pan moved the command tent to the Beizhai Gate, Shi Hu didn't need to stare there. After ordering the troops of the Selected Front Army to gather at the Nanzhai Gate, he also walked to Niu Er's side. Seeing that his injuries were not important, he asked with a smile.

"I haven't encountered any tough guys, I'm bored," Niu Er said with a lip, "Why is there no big news on the North Bank?"

Chishan Bay gathered tens of thousands of hungry people, of course there were no shortage of good players, but firstly, they had no fighting spirit and were not strong in resistance, and secondly, the array was far from orderly enough, and there were too many soldiers and armors.

Niu Er led an elite team of the vanguards to fight with a strong and held a sharp force. Even if the enemy soldiers had some good players, they would lose their lives after a little contact. Of course, there would be no tough guys to chew him.

"Sun Yanguan surrendered, General Fan ordered the surrendered troops to retreat back to the Tiger Village to stand by. The navy is clearing the obstacles to the tiger's mouth from both sides..." Shi Hu said.

Sun Yanguan sent someone to surrender, but Fan Zongqi could not be unprepared for it, but he was pretending to surrender. In a hurry, he directly sent troops to the tiger village. Of course, he ordered all the defenders to retreat into the village and stand by. At the same time, he sent the navy to clear the obstacles at the tiger's mouth from both ends, and first opened up the contact between Sangchi Lake and Jingjiang.

"A group of thieves escaped from the Nanzhai Gate. Hu Dangzhou and other thieves were indeed among them, but the depressions on the south side were connected with flooded land, and there were still pirate ships hidden in the lake Dangze grass. The Tang Dynasty commander has ordered the quest to stop the pursuit, and then mainly control the enemy camp and the water camp to avoid unnecessary casualties..." A messenger came over to report Tang Pan's orders.

Chishan Bay is located near Jingjiang in the north, and the southeast is the vast Dongting Lake. The terrain is low-lying. The river embankment built in the early years is almost washed away by floods. After the flood season, it is flooded everywhere. The large warships of the Nancai naval army were unable to enter. They transferred small warships such as Chima Boat to pursue the south of Chishan Village and intercepted the fleeing enemy. They may not be able to get any advantage.

In addition, there is no narrow land south of Chishan City that is flooded by floods. The families of the bandit soldiers and the hungry people who are attached to Chishan Village have tens of thousands of people living in the chaotic shacks. Once they chase them out of the southern gate, the chaos that will be difficult to curb. I don’t know how many unnecessary casualties will be caused.

Everyone didn't like the military achievements of suppressing the Lake Cong, and they maintained the greatest restraint at this time.

"It's so indifferent, it's not enough. Where else do you want to fight next?" Niu Er asked.

"I'm afraid there will be no further troops to go south in a short period of time. The main combat mission is to block the waters of Dongting Lake and connect Jingjiang to prevent the bandits from fleeing south from Jianli, Hanyang, Mianyang and other places from fleeing south," Shi Hu said. "Of course, fighting south is not without strength. In the end, Jishuai will come to make an idea!"

To the south, only Shishou County belongs to Jingzhou, which is about a depth of about a hundred miles. However, the land post roads from Gong'an County to Shishou County are all stationed by soldiers from Jingbei. If you go directly from Chishan Bay to the south, there will be depressions and floods everywhere, and it will be difficult to march. If you take a boat to go around Dongting Lake from the east, the navy will be seriously insufficient. Of course, after this battle, you can completely wipe out the bandit army along the Jingjiang River, which is also the main target of Chushan's battle.

Although the main force of the bandit army is still entrenched in Lizhou and Dingzhou, it is already the jurisdiction of the Jingnan Control Department. Unless the Jingnan troops still do nothing, Chu Shan will consider continuing to take action.

…………

…………

Without the interference of the enemy, it took three days to clean up the obstacles in the tiger saliva channel.

During this period, nearly 3,000 surrendered troops in the Tiger Village were successively transferred to the Daying of Sangchi Riverkou.

Hu Dangzhou, surrounded by hundreds of remnants, did not dare to stay in Chishan Bay after escaping from Chishan City. He chose to flee south from the lakes and waters in the southeast of Gong'an County, and was temporarily gone.

Chishan Village has more than 20 sub-cities in Chishan Bay and the north bank of Jingjiang. Under the persuasion of Sun Yanguan and others, except for a few abandoned the village and fled, they all chose to surrender on the spot.

Now for the Nancai Zhaobing Office, the most difficult task is no longer to fight, but to evacuate tens of thousands of surrendered bandits and the total number of surrendered bandits and refugees with a total of up to 120,000 from Chishan Bay, which was squeezed by the flood and was in short supply of food and fodder, to Jingbei in batches for resettlement.

Especially in May and June in Jinghu, heavy rains are pouring down at any time, which brings great difficulties to the transfer and resettlement of such a large scale.

At the same time, the four counties in Jingbei have previously forced more than 300,000 people, and the area east of Sangchi Lake is even lower and flood disasters are more serious. It is difficult to reclaim a large amount of land in a short period of time.

Now, more than 200,000 new population, including Dongzhou Village, have been added, and the later resettlement tasks are also like rock-bearing.

In order to eliminate hidden dangers to the greatest extent and stabilize the people's hearts, Xu Huai ordered all the young and strong men who surrendered to the power of refugees to be included in the Nancai Zhaodansi's Circular.

By the end of June, the Nancai Zhaodan Division, in addition to the six-box warriors of the rear army of the Tianxiong Army and the three-box warriors of the Nancai Navy, had further expanded the scale of the baggage troops to as many as 120,000.

At this time, the daily consumption of money and food was already a few days. Even if Chu Shan could barely bear it, Xu Huai would write a memorial every ten days to express his grievances.

In addition to asking for money and food from the court, Xu Huai also further clarified the request to place Nanyang and Xiangyang under the Chushan camp so that it could use the deserted mountains and valleys in Nanyang and Xiangyang Prefecture to resettle so many hungry people, eliminate hidden dangers for the court, and better resist the powerful offensive that the Chihu people will launch again this winter.

Emperor Shaolong, who had been silent for nearly nine months, finally issued an order to abolish the Chushan Camp and set up the Jingxiang system to establish the Pacification Department to govern the four counties of Rucai, Nanyang, Xiangyang and Jingbei, and resist the enemy of Jingxi and Heluo. Qian Shangduan arrived in Changlin at the end of June to announce the imperial edict.

Those who arrived in Changlin at the same time as Qian Shangduan were also the Jingnan General Office of the Military Control Department, Wei Chujun and the Jingbei General Office of the Military Control Department, deployed Gao Juntang.

Qian Shangduan was an old minister of the late emperor. After the ascension of the throne of Xiangyang, he always valued it. However, before and after the Ruying Victory, Qian Shangduan was inexplicably neglected by the late emperor. Although Qian Shangduan was not removed from his position as an imperial edict, he was rarely summoned by the late emperor alone, which is a fact that anyone with a discerning eye can see.

After Emperor Shaolong ascended the throne, he did not change to the Qiandi direct line in the court. The affairs of the East and West Governments (Political Affairs Hall, Privy Council) were still divided by Zhou He and Hu Kai. This was mainly because Huaidong, Huaixi and Jingnan needed a large number of direct linemen to take charge. In the court, except for Wang Boqian, Gu Fan and others, Emperor Shaolong could not draw more people to Beijing to assist the government in a short time.

Although most of the old ministers of the late emperors and the old ministers were in their own positions at this time, everyone knew in their hearts that few people could become the new emperor's confidant and a major change in the court was inevitable.

Among so many old ministers of the late emperors, Qian Shangduan, who came to Changlin to promulgate the imperial edicts by the master of imperial edicts, was obviously more valued by the new emperor.

Because Emperor Shaolong's imperial edict only roughly agreed that the Jingxiang system was established as a general jurisdiction, but the establishment of the Jingxiang system also involved a large number of arrangements for the appointment, garrison, taxation and other details.

Emperor Shaolong gave up the stalemate and was unable to patience with Chu Shan through memorials.

Emperor Shaolong was unable to do without Wang Boqian in the court at this time and Gu Fan assisted him. Qian Shangduan was equivalent to consulting with Chushan on behalf of Emperor Shaolong to discuss all the details of the establishment of the Jingxiang General Office.

Wei Chujun and Gao Juntang came to Changlin. After the establishment of the Jingxiang General Office, Chushan, Jingnan and Jingbei were completely equal. The next suppression and pacification of the Dongjing Alliance requires the common opinions of Xu Huai, Kong Changyu and Ge Boyi.

On the other hand, as Ge Boyi's eldest son-in-law, Wei Chujun was obviously more trusted by Emperor Shaolong, but his official position was not revealed at this time, so he could only intervene in the discussion on the many details of the establishment of the Jingxiang General Office as the deputy of Qian Shangduan.

In addition to Qian Shangduan and Wei Chujun, Nanyang Prefect Ning Ci, Quan Zhi, Xiangyang Prefecture Wu Wenche and others also participated in the matter under the order.

Xu Huai also specially summoned Shi Zhen, Su Laochang and others to Changlin to be responsible for the negotiations on the establishment of the Jing General Administration Department.

Due to the specific geographical division, the imperial court initially agreed to include Jiangling, Dangyang and Jingmen in the Jingxiang General Administration Department, and merged the Gong'an, Zhijiang, Shishou and other counties on the south bank of the Jingjiang River into Lizhou. With the Jiuzhou, which controls the Three Gorges west of Jingzhou, they are all merged to the Jingnan General Administration Department under the jurisdiction of Jingnan General Administration Department.

However, Jingxiang's establishment of Sitai is short of land, especially Jianli County, which has suffered the most floods in recent years. It has been the most abundant farmland resources that can be developed, and Xu Huai has to hold on to his life or death.

In addition, Xu Huai also wanted to transfer Chishan Bay, which was actually controlled by the Nancai Zhaodansi, into Jingzhou. In addition to reclaiming as much as possible on the south bank of the Jingjiang River and resettling hungry people, it could also prevent the revival of the Dongjing thief army in the future.

The officials of Ru and Cai were both decided by Xu Huai, but this time, even if the Jingxiang Division was established and Nanyang, Xiangyang and Jingzhou (the four counties in Jingbei) were included, the court could not tolerate the complete vassalization of Jingxiang.

The magistrates, prefects and other ruling officials in Nanyang, Xiangyang, and Jingzhou can be recommended by Xu Huai, but the court will not agree to hand over the actual appointment power of the magistrate of the prefecture and the military positions of the Cao Cao.

This time the court will only recall Ning Ci, Wu Wenche and others to the court for separate appointments, but other official positions must remain in their original positions, and future transfers, appointments and even assessments will be directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Personnel.

It is obviously impossible for Xu Huai to only satisfy the recommendation rights of the magistrate and the magistrate.

If I only sent one or two people to the prefecture, no matter how powerful the power is, what can I do? In the end, Isn’t it that a sage appointed by the Ministry of Personnel is under the sacrificial authority?

Of course, Xu Huai could not expect the complete vassalization of the Jingxiang Governor's system at this time.

In addition to the recommendations of the prefect and the prefect, Xu Huai had to hold the officials of the prefecture's military and horse supervision department, the county magistrate's officials and even the grassroots military officials directly in his hands.

Only in this way can local troops be fully mobilized to participate in the fight against the enemy - this is Xu Huai's legitimate request. At the same time, only in this way can we truly control Nanyang, Jingxiang and other places under the control of the ranks and prevent those gentry from rebelling against the sky.

In addition, Xu Huai also proposed that prefectures and counties should set up a clear field department in addition to six cadres and six houses, which is specifically responsible for measuring the land acres, distributing the resident into the acres, clearing private occupations, reducing rent and tenants, etc.

As for all the cleared privately occupied land, Xu Huai asked to be assigned to the villages under the jurisdiction of the Military Commission and the County Quarter to be reclaimed to make up for the military use. At the same time, the court also needed to allow the Military Commission and the County Quarter to set up the Ministry of Inspection and Inspection and the County Quarter to be responsible for military garrisons, county quarantines, and township military training.

As the population of Jianli County plummeted and was also the focus of the reclaiming of new fields in the later period of the General Administration, Xu Huai asked Jianli County to recommend and appoint officials from the General Administration to the General Administration. In addition, Xu Huai hoped to separate Chushan, Huaiyuan, Queshan, Xinyang and Luoshan and reset Shenzhou so that the General Administration can better divide and connect the enemy war zones.

When talking about the resetting of Shenzhou, the court hoped to demarcate Luoshan and Huangchuan, re-establish Guangzhou, and be under the jurisdiction of Huaixi General Administration. At that time, the Dongjing coalition forces recruited were placed in Guangzhou to strengthen their defense.

After Chishan Bay was so unbearable that it was occupied by the Nancai Zhaodansi, Sun Yanzhou and other thieves no longer had any illusions and agreed to accept surrender based on the conditions previously discussed by the Jingnan Control Department. However, Xu Huai repeatedly stated that the Jingnan Control Department regarded the thief as too lenient and firmly demanded more harsh constraints.

Wei Chujun and Gao Junrong came here to discuss the final recruitment conditions with Xu Huai.

Xu Huai's conditions were very simple. Before the establishment of the Jingxiang General Office, Chushan had only 40,000 soldiers under his jurisdiction. What kind of virtue is Sun Yanzhou and other bandits? He actually led 60,000 troops independently?
