Chapter five hundred and thirteenth navy
A battle that broke out due to the land suddenly disappeared.
Before the police department and the inspection camp could do their best, tens of thousands of people stopped and dared not speak out.
Although Jiangling City was forced to be renamed Jingzhou, people are still used to calling it Jiangling City. More and more merchants are coming and going. After the fall of the Nanping Kingdom, Jiangling City seems to be even more lively.
As the prefect of Jingnan Prefecture, Sun Guangxian is already very old, but he still has energy. The land of the five prefectures is no longer a problem. Instead, he is a mature man. The three-year prefect is about to expire. He is eager to be able to be promoted to the central government.
Not to mention entering the Political Affairs Hall, even if you become a minister, it is OK.
Therefore, he was faster than everyone else in this civil unrest, and he was pacified before it even started.
However, the threat from Jingnan Prefecture was not these mud legs, but Murong Yanzhao from the east of Shannan Road in the north. This old general was sharpening his knife, making people unable to sleep or eat.
"Just just after the summer harvest, the north will not be peaceful." Standing on the city wall, looking at the bustling streets and the farmland outside the city, Sun Guangxian sighed.
"It is really surprising that the court fought with Jiangnan, and the Central Plains came to join in the fun. However, if you think about it carefully, Murong Yanzhao is just a threat. How dare you go south? The Central Plains conquers Shu Kingdom in the south, how can you start a war on both sides now?"
As the judge of Jingnan Prefecture, Li Huaien not only tried the case, but also had his own judgment on the specific court. Therefore, he just frowned and looked at the direction of Dongting Lake and couldn't help but say:
"But it's really weird that the Dongting Navy has been recruiting troops and horses these days."
"You mean, the court intends to go east?" Sun Guangxian felt a sudden enlightenment in his heart when he heard this. During these days, no wonder there has been food and grass constantly entering Dongting. Moreover, the two-year-old military warehouse is now adjusting grain. He thought the court was short of food and grass in the south, so it turned out that he had other ideas.
"I don't know whether this is good or bad for our Jiangling!" Sun Guangxian shook his head, and he immediately realized that attacking the waterway on both sides is OK. This trick is just a war, and it is not a good thing for Jingnan Prefecture.
After blocking the Yangtze River, how can goods go east?
Lingnan Prefecture, which relies on business, may face pain.
"This battle will be fought sooner or later." Unlike Sun Guangxian, who has been busy with internal affairs in Nanping and is not good at military affairs, Li Huai's eyes are longer and he is also excited.
If the court took advantage of the Central Plains to conquer Shu and seized Jiangnan, at least it would have to add a few prefectures. Moreover, with Jiangnan, it means that the Tang Dynasty had the foundation for dividing and governing the north and south. Even if it was not good, it could still be in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and its own future and family future would be guaranteed.
"I'm old!" Sun Guangxian sighed and said, "I'm also shallow in my eyes. I'm always worried about this and that. However, one thing has to be said that the Central Plains took over Bashu, and the wealthy Bashu could make up for its shortcomings, which is even more of a disaster for the court."
"The court fought with Jiangnan and would only make it cheaper for the Central Plains. Even if it took Jiangnan, I'm afraid the Central Plains wouldn't care. If a hard bone is hard, how can you eat fat and nourish it? "
"I am just a futile occupation for a short time. I am just a wedding dress for others. I want to advise the court. Can Judge Li add a name?"
"No!" Li Huaien hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said, "The court may have a overall plan. We are just local officials, and we still obey orders. The 300,000 troops of Bashu are not so easy to occupy."
If the local officials in Jingnan Prefecture were just speculations, then for Li Xin, it was already a fact, and the Military Affairs Office's plan was not hidden from him.
On the surface, he was still in charge of Jiangling and commanding the 15,000 troops of Jiangling Guards, but in fact, he had already slipped to Dongting Lake, and Hunan General Yang Shifan took his place.
Looking at the well-trained soldiers, Li Xin also felt a little happy on his cold face:
"It will take at least one day and one night to go to Jinling. If the soldiers are not used to the shaking of the ship, how can they attack the city?"
Speaking of this, he had to remember that Yang Shifan had a bitter face and took over his position as a guard general. Now that he thought about it, it was ridiculous. He had a good chance to make meritorious service and was taken away by others. He could only finish his life and guard the house. It was really hard.
But, this is fate!
Who told us to be the General Yuan Cong of the Saint?
As Jiangling Bo and the popular general of the Wei, Li Xin married a woman from a Hunan family. There were many literati in his family, but they were short of generals. Now they also wanted to occupy a place in the court, so they married him.
As a family slave, Li Xin had no autonomy over his marriage, so he submitted it to the emperor.
When the emperor heard this, he was not surprised. Instead, he said for granted: "You are over twenty years old. Should you marry and have children? A woman from a noble family should be worthy of you. If you marry a wife and a virtuous person, if you are greedy for money and marry a rich girl, I will scold you."
So, this marriage naturally became.
Later he realized that the court moved the capital to Changsha and got married to him was actually trying to win over aristocratic families. The newly added land was too easy, and it created various hidden dangers.
"General Zhang, what the imperial court wants can withstand bronze cannons, maybe it's done?"
Recovering his senses, Li Xin glanced at the Dongting Lake naval commander Zhang Wanghai and asked softly.
"Report to the commander, although the cannon weighs a thousand pounds, it is very powerful when firing. The wooden boat is like this, and it takes less time to disperse it. It is not easy to fire again. Later, a smart craftsman made a small cart and put the cannon on the cart, which made it much less force and much more convenient."
Although Zhang Wanghai was the commander of the navy, he was very afraid of a cold-faced general like Li Xin. He could not compare with his status or title. He was still under his command recently, so he was really afraid.
"Not bad!" Li Xin was a little surprised, but seemed very calm, and said, "This cannon is a key thing. It must not be careless or tiny. It must also be protected and not touched by water."
"I will remember it!" Zhang Wanghai hesitated for a while and asked, "General, when will we go to the Yangtze River? Brothers are training day by day and have long been bored."
"How anxious? Without the orders of the court, the army must not act rashly."
Li Xin said in a deep voice, perhaps seeing his doubts, he explained:
"The food and grass weapons are not yet fully equipped, and the situation in the Central Plains has not been fully understood. Let brothers not be impatient."
The closed naval camp is on an island, staying for a long time and having no vacation, which is really annoying. However, without the military orders of the court, you cannot act rashly.
