Yanjing City, in the evening, the imperial study room.

Zheng Wen met with Hebei Jiedushi Lin Cang and Yulin Army General Li Tong.

After the two of them saluted Zheng Wen, Zheng Wen directly said to them straight to the point: "You two are here, sit down. I guess you are also puzzled why I summoned you?"

The two sat down, and Zheng Wen handed Lin Cang a document on the situation of the garrison in Jiangnan.

After both of them saw it, Zheng Wencai said expressionlessly: "Look, I didn't expect that the situation of Jiangnan's garrison after just over ten years of hard work was so serious. It was shocking. The 200,000 Jiangnan garrison was no longer 100,000. Corruption was rampant and the combat power was low. I was very sad!"

After pausing for a moment, he said angrily: "There is also the dog-like thing Li Yin, the governor of Jiangnan. I really wish he could shave thousands of swords and pieces of corpses!"

Zheng Wen looked at the silent two people, and without waiting for them to speak, he said straightforwardly: "So, I have decided to remove Li Yin from Jiangnan Jiedushi and appoint General Lin as Jiangnan Jiedushi, and Li Tong you are the deputy of General Lin. How about it?"

Zheng Wen stared straight at the two of them.

The two were silent for a while.

Lin Cang said, "Thank you for your trust, I have no objection."

Li Tong continued: "I have no objection, but I just have the specific organization of the garrison in Jiangnan. Please tell me and let me have a clear understanding of my heart."

After hearing this, Zheng Wen smiled and then said, "It's not bad, Li Tong, you have made great progress!"

"You are both talented people, I already know it in my heart. It's not your turn to take action if you are just 200,000 troops stationed in Jiangnan."

"This time I reorganized the Jiangnan garrison, not 200,000, but 400,000, so I let you and the other two take action!"

When the two of them heard this, they looked surprised, but they didn't ask, just listened quietly to Zheng Wen's next words.

Zheng Wen said again: "Yes, it is indeed 400,000, 200,000 local garrisons in Jiangnan, and 200,000 field legions."

"I want you two to practice seriously in these 200,000 field legions, and we need targeted training to train in Dali and Annan!"

When the two heard this, they looked happy. It seemed that His Majesty had decided to conquer Dali and Annan.

Lin Cang heard this and his face flushed, then he asked, "Your Majesty has decided to conquer Dali, Annan?"

Zheng Wen smiled and nodded again, and then said, "Yes, let me tell you, it won't take more than five years. I will send troops to destroy Dali. As for Annan, I will see that if I have any strength, I will follow the trend to conquer the Annan area."

"In front of the two generals, I thought about attacking the south first and then the north first. The strength of the Mongols is at its peak. It is not worth the loss to attack Mongolia first, and it is easy to start and then difficult. Therefore, I will not go to war with the Mongols within ten years of my ascension to the throne, and the military focus of my hard work will move south for a long time."

"And sending you two to Jiangnan is the first step for me to move the military focus south. And your mission is not only to reorganize the Jiangnan garrison, but also to train the Southern Expedition Army, and to prepare for the next Southern Expedition. Your mission is still very heavy. Remember, you only have five years at most."

The two of them hurriedly stood up, knelt on one knee, and said together: "Yes! I wish to die for Your Majesty!"

Zheng Wen limped and walked to the two of them step by step before helping them up with both hands.

Then he spoke again: "General Lin, you selected 10,000 troops from 300,000 Hebei garrisons in Yanjing City to take them to Jiangnan, while Li Tongyou selected 10,000 troops from the Yulin Army to take them to Jiangnan, and organized them to Jiangnan."

"No!" the two responded in unison.

"As for the departure date, it will be five days later." Zheng Wen added.

"promise!"

At this time, Lin Cang showed a look of distress, and then he gritted his teeth and asked, "Your Majesty, what should the Jiangnan Jiedushi Li Yin do? Please tell me."

Zheng Wen was silent after hearing this, and then said, "You go, let's think about it again. It's not that I don't know how to deal with him, but I'm afraid that he will die before you reach Jiangnan. I haven't thought about a dead person yet."

When the two heard this, they felt creepy and their faces were a little pale. It was obvious that they were not thinking about it.

When Zheng Wen saw this, he explained: "Where are you thinking about, but Li Yin knows too much. The aristocratic families in Jiangnan will not allow him to see the envoys in the court alive."

When the two heard this, their faces were a little blushing. It was obvious that Zheng Wen guessed that they were thinking and was immediately ashamed!

Zheng Wencai sighed again and said, "It was my father's indulgence that led to the great clans of the Jiangnan family. Now it is already in a state of great power. Speaking of this, the court is a little sorry for him, Li Yin."

"But he has also become corrupt too quickly. He has only been in Jiangnan for a few years and has made the 200,000 troops in Jiangnan like this. It is simply a waste of death. It disappoints the court and I am disappointed!"

Then he said to the two of you again: "You two must also learn from them, don't let me down!"

"Here! I dare not let Your Majesty down!" The two of them knelt on one knee and said loudly.

"Well. I believe you, get up!" Zheng Wen said again after hearing this.

When the two heard this, they were filled with emotion.

Zheng Wen personally sent them out of the imperial study room. When he watched them go away, he returned to the imperial study room alone.

In the imperial study, Zheng Wen kept paced and wandered for a while before instructing Huang An to ask him to find Zheng Yi, the commander of the Jinyiwei.

As soon as he saw Zheng Yi, Zheng Wen said, "Do you know the situation in Jiangnan?"

When Zheng Yi heard this, he spoke, "Your Majesty, I have been watching the progress of the Ma Yuanyi case these days. I know the specific situation. If you have any questions, please give me instructions!"

Zheng Wen listened, nodded, walked a few more steps, pondered for a while, and then said, "It's good to know. I'm here to come to you today. I'm asking you to do something."

"I have considered it. Within ten to twenty years, the military focus of the court will move south, and Jiangnan will become the bridgehead and logistics base for me to send troops to attack Dali and Annan. Therefore, Jiangnan's position in the future is the top priority!"

"I want you to arrange one-third of the Jinyiwei in Daqian's territory in Jiangnan. I want to know every tree and grass in Jiangnan, can you do it?"

"Yes! I can do it. Zheng Yiwan, the commander of the Jinyiwei, dare not let His Majesty's entrustment!" Zheng immediately knelt on one knee and said firmly in his tone.

After hearing this, Zheng Wen said with a smile: "It's great, I'll leave it to you, don't worry. Listen, you must send a decent condemnant to Jiangnan to find out all the grass and trees in Jiangnan and record it on the case. I will never allow anything in Jiangnan to escape from my control. If you want money, I will give you money, you want people, I will give you privileges, and I will give you privileges, do you understand?"

"Also, get up!"

Zheng Yi was shocked when he heard this. It seemed that Jiang Nan had a strong position in His Majesty's heart. He did not hesitate to give him the greatest power for this.

This made him very excited, but it also put a lot of pressure on him. For this reason, he secretly swears in his heart that he would do this matter with a twelve percent heart, staring at anything in Jiangnan carefully, and never letting His Majesty down!

When Zheng Wen saw his expression, he understood and said, "Of course, you should also keep an eye on me as to the situation of the Jiangnan family. You must not have any accidents. Do you understand?"

"No!" Zheng Yi said firmly.

...

The Ministry of Justice, Zhou Kuo, the Minister of Justice, and Guo Huai, the Minister of Dali Temple, were resting, chatting and drinking tea, and also chatting to Jiangnan.

Zhou Kuo sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip, sighed, and then said, "Mr. Guo, I didn't expect that the power of the local aristocratic families in Jiangnan has expanded so much. We have tried so many people these days, and more than two-thirds of them have received bribes from the Jiangnan forces. It can be imagined that the benefits they have obtained are probably more!"

After hearing this, Guo Huai nodded before speaking: "Yes! I didn't expect it to be shocking! It's only been more than ten years, and the administration of Jiangnan is worrying, and there are probably not many local officials in Jiangnan who are clean!"

"Yes! The court was too indulgent, but it was also my fault for being inattentive. Especially the Xie family, they were lawless. They dared to join forces with other aristocratic families to blatantly form an interest group in Jiangnan. I'm afraid they will die this time!" Zhou Kuo took a sip of tea before saying again.

After hearing this, Guo Huai shook his head and said, "This is the Xie family, I don't think so. Death may not be necessary, but it will definitely hurt your bones!"

Zhou Kuo was a little curious after hearing this, so he asked, "Mr. Guo, you are afraid that you are wrong. So much evidence points to the Xie family. If you are not dead, you will not die. According to Your Majesty's temper, the Xie family is absolutely dead. Even the weight of Concubine Xie Gui and the King of Tang cannot save the Xie family. How could it not die? Are you kidding?"

After hearing this, Guo Huai smiled and said, "You! I've been busy with the Ministry of Justice these days. Haven't you heard of it? The Xie family is also actively participating in the talent show. The title of the second Shu of the Xie family is very loud among the upper class people in Daqian. I think their Xie family is going to surrender to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will most likely agree!"

After hearing this, Zhou Kuo was silent for a long time before speaking: "Oh, what a pity!"

When Guo Huai heard this, he smiled: "What a pity? He escaped the disaster of raiding the family and extermination, but so what? He is not going to get rid of his skin. After all, His Majesty has just ascended the throne and has to compromise on many things. We ministers must understand him!"

After hearing this, Zhou Kuo nodded, and then said, "Yes! But it's time for the administration of Jiangnan to be rectified. When this matter is finished, I will write a letter to Your Majesty to completely rectify the administration of Jiangnan. Maybe Your Majesty will appoint me as the imperial envoy and investigate Jiangnan thoroughly!"

After hearing this, Guo Huai nodded before speaking, "When the time comes, I will write a book together!"
