Chapter Eighty-Eight: Farewell to Luo Yulong

The appearance of Xijing was an accident.

If it weren't for the situation, Luo Ru would have had to ascend the throne in Wuchang. It gave the name of Xijing in Wuchang City.

But the name Wuchang City and Xijing are not too consistent.

For Luo Yulong, all the financial expenses of Cao Ying have been under his nose, although he is not too clear in the details, but in general, the state of financial tension has not changed at all, so many buildings in Xijing are simple because of ugliness.

For example, the imperial palace, the imperial palace in Xijing is the palace of the king of Chu, but it is just a new signboard.

Other annexes to the Jingshi, such as the Temple of Heaven or something, were only built to enthrone them. Most of them don't. In a sense, Wuchang cannot perform the function of the deputy capital, but only has a name, and he still holds the function of the provincial capital of Huguang.

Maybe one day in the future, the name of Wuchang Xijing will also be removed, as if there was a time in the early Ming Dynasty, Beijing did not refer to the current Beijing, but Kaifeng Mansion.

Luo Yulong knew very well that his roots were in Nanjing, in the south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, after he stayed in Wuchang for more than a month, he went down the river and helped the coffin to the east. Back to the real capital: "Nanjing." ”

There were not many people who followed Luo Yulong away.

At least 200,000 troops.

These 20 armies, part of which were originally garrisons in Nanjing, were brought over by Luo Yulong, and it was natural to bring them back at this time. Some of them were soldiers who followed Luo Rucai's westward expedition. Luo Yulong naturally refused to let these military powers fall aside.

Yang Chengzu was the first to be promoted to the deputy of the Privy Council, presiding over the affairs of the Privy Council. It was used to form the Privy Council. The translator's current official title is executive vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.

The position of privy envoy is temporarily vacant, which means that Yang Chengzu commands all the soldiers and horses of Great Xia, and even Zhang Xuan's nominal boss.

However, Yang Chengzu also paid the price, and Yang Chengzu's headquarters was divided into several places. Although there has not been much adjustment in personnel, in order to accurately describe Yang Chengzu's power, it can only be said that Yang Chengzu is a mountain in the army, not a warlord who is divided.

This is Luo Yulong's purpose.

Of course, these 200,000 troops, not all of them will be stationed in Nanjing, and they will also be assigned to various battlefields, such as Jiangbei, the death of Li Rugui, some of the armies in Jiangbei have no leader, Luo Yulong decided to send Wang Long as the general of Jiangbei, and govern the army north of the Yangtze River, Fengyang, and south of Huai'an, that is, for the northern barrier of Nanjing, and Luo Yulong is not very relieved about Gao Jie.

It's just that Jiangbei is within easy reach of Nanjing, and the Jiangbei Army is also included in the forbidden army sequence and is under the direct command of the Privy Council.

Zhang Xuan's so-called Xijing Detention Office has not many troops under his jurisdiction, the so-called Governor Huguang, Jiangxi military affairs, but in fact, Jiangxi military affairs are in the hands of Zhang Yingyuan, and Zhang Xuan hung this title, just to deal with Zhang Yingyuan.

Some prefectures and counties in the north of Huguang were zoned to Xiangyang Town.

Although Zhang Xuan's official rank in Xijing was above Gao Doushu, he could not completely suppress Gao Doushu, and Zhang Xuan could only be half a cut higher than Gao Doushu. In the constitution of the Privy Council designed by Zhang Xuan, the border towns are directly responsible to the Privy Council.

Zhang Xuan's governor can only send reinforcements when Xiangyang Town asks for help, or when Xiangyang is in crisis, he can preside over the overall situation in Xiangyang.

As for Zhang Xuan's headquarters, there are actually only fifty or sixty thousand. However, most of them are Zhang Xuan's old team. The main opponent is Nanming.

In fact, the reason is also an unspoken rule formulated by Zhang Xuan when he designed the Privy Council system, it is best not to have more than 100,000 standing troops in a border town.

Without him, many people think that the number of 100,000 is not too big, but in fact, 100,000 people is already a large strategic group, even if Great Xia dominates the world in the future, it is estimated that all the troops will be limited to one million, not to mention now, nearly one-fifth, or one-sixth of the strength of Great Xia will cause an imbalance of power in the hands of one person.

Zhang Xuan's Xijing staycation is actually a border town, but it is just a little better in name.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan's military strength was strictly limited, and the Xijing army of 50,000 or 60,000, and Zhang Yingyuan's Nanchang Town, combined with a small 100,000 people, dealt with Nanming. The offense may be a little insufficient, but the guard is more than enough.

Before leaving, Luo Yulong summoned Zhang Xuan for the last time and said, "With that, I will leave the affairs of the West to you." ”

Zhang Xuan said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely gather troops in the valley, and in the spring of next year, the army will go south, sweep away the ugly, and take the southern land for Great Xia." ”

Luo Yulong said: "Next year, you will be my general of the expedition to the south, I will send Luo Dai to lead troops to help, Nanchang Town will also be your arm, I can give you will give you, Zhou Fuchen's sailor, from today onwards, every month, ten warships will be listed, and next year I will give you an absolute advantage on the water." All the taxes paid by Huguang today do not need to be handed over to Nanjing, and all of them will be reserved for next year. ”

"What more do you want?"

Zhang Xuan silently calculated that when he marched south next year, Zhang Xuan would be able to command more than 100,000 troops. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Huguang has always been a grain production area, a year of grain production in millions of stones, it can be said that Huguang is familiar with the world, this era of Huguang is the collective name of Hubei and Hunan, Zhang Xuan can intercept a year of taxes, plus the purchase of silver, there are about hundreds of thousands of stone grain, when the time is in the grain to the enemy, enough to support the army to the south.

"Is the minister just worried that Dongyu will be indifferent?" Zhang Xuan said

Road.

Anything that leads to a hair moves the whole body. Great Xia's side used troops on a large scale, and it was impossible to keep it secret. It was impossible for the Qing army to fail to move. What will be the move of the Qing army? The original covenant between Nanming and Azig is still there. Will there be a big army to rescue Nanming?

Maybe not, but Zhang Xuan had to think so.

Luo Yulong said: "Don't worry, hundreds of thousands of horses in the three towns of Xiangyang Town, Huaixi Town, and Huaidong Town, plus my forbidden army, will make the Qing army dare not take a step beyond the Lei Chi, but in this case, you will not get too much support." ”

Thinking of this, Luo Yulong's nerves were slightly excited.

He wanted to fight a battle for a long time and see how the Qing army was doing.

As the emperor, Luo Yulong can't say that he is unqualified. He clearly judged that the Qing army was probably the great enemy of Great Xia in the future, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or Zhang Xianzhong's Daxi, there was nothing to worry about. Although he has received a lot of information about the Qing army, he is still a general.

Luo Yulong still likes to measure his biggest opponent in person.

Luo Yulong has said this, what else can Zhang Xuan say, Zhang Xuan said: "The minister guarantees that three years before Wuxing, Huguang Province will definitely be in the hands of Great Xia." ”

Now is the first year of Wuxing, the third year of Wuxing, that is, the year after tomorrow.

After Luo Yulong told Zhang Xuan, he was ready to board the ship and leave, and now the entire fleet is ready, just waiting for Luo Yulong's royal pilot. At this time, Xiangyang's urgent report arrived, Luo Yulong just glanced at it lightly, then handed it to Zhang Xuan and said, "This matter is something you left behind in Xijing." ”

Zhang Xuan took it and didn't dare to open it immediately, but watched Luo Yulong get on the ship with Luo Yujiao, hundreds of ships, countless sail shadows, almost covering the sky and the sun. On the waterway of the Yangtze River, almost all civilian ships were greeted and were not allowed to sail today.

Luo Yulong moved, almost blocking the entire Yangtze River.

Whether it is a troop carrier, or a civilian ship. Converged into a rolling torrent and headed eastward, Zhang Xuan couldn't see his head at a glance, and a thought suddenly rose in his heart, and said secretly: "The power of the emperor is as good as this." ”

The fleet did not depart from this one wharf, it can be said that almost all the wharves in the prefectures and counties near Wuchang were requisitioned, and only Luo Yulong's dragon boat departed here, plus the boats of civil officials and generals at all levels, plus the guards, as well as Luo Rucai's coffin and so on. It can be said that it was a moving Great Xia court.

Other boats depart from other piers.

Zhang Xuan knew that it would take a while to wait for Dao Qianfan to pass. He opened the emergency report in his hand, although it was only a light glance, and an uncomfortable feeling suddenly arose in his heart. This feeling without a reason can be called intuition.

Zhang Xuan intuitively felt that the situation would develop in a direction he didn't want.
