Lord of the House

"The plan of dispatching troops from the envoy Lin Zhizhi is very good. By capturing Daishan and Changguo, you can contain the forces of the She family on the east coast. If you want to come to Master Dong, you are not sure to face the army of the She family in eastern Zhejiang alone!" Yu Xinyuan Putting his hand on the table, he said slowly, but it was a final decision, indicating that the Wu Party supported Huaidong in this matter.

Liu Tingzhou looked at Gu Wuchen.

Gu Wuchen squinted his eyes, as if it was the first time he saw Lin Fu's military statement. He didn't even look at the faces of King Ning, Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan and others.

It's strange to think about it. Gu Wuchen was in Jiangning in his early years, and he fought with Chen Xiyan to the death. The Qu family died because of this. The Wu Party forces in Yu Xinyuan's period controlled everything in the Dongyang family. Who would have thought that the two sides would be involved in this matter today. Can we get along?

Liu Tingzhou looked at Yue Lengqiu, Dong Yuan and the others again. The expressions on their faces were solemn, and they all knew that Yu Xinyuan's remarks were no trivial matter and should not be treated sloppily.

Lin Bie sat as steadily as Mount Tai, and didn't peep at everyone's reactions. The fact that everyone's reactions might not show on his face, but it's not difficult to speculate.

Yue Lengqiu, Zhang Xitong, Deng Yu, Shen Rong, Liu Zhi, Zhang Yan, Liu Tingzhou and others, including Gu Wuchen, Zhang Yubo, Yu Xinyuan, Wang Tian, ​​Wang Xueshan and others, no matter what differences or conflicts of interest there are between them—whether Whether they follow the way of loyalty to the emperor in their hearts, or the nature of their own status and power, it is determined that they support imperial power.

King Ning's power is also increasing, and his status is no different from that of the prince. In Jiangning, it is a symbol of imperial power, so it is decided that these people support King Ning - maybe King Ning's symbolism is stronger.

The problem is the relocation of the capital.

Moving the capital to Jiangning meant that the center had to strengthen its control over Jiangning and surrounding prefectures and counties, which meant that the center had to obtain more resources from the local area to prepare for the complete relocation of the capital.

This kind of competition and scramble for resources naturally creates a confrontation between the center and the locality.

Yue Lengqiu, Zhang Xitong, Deng Yu, Shen Rong, Liu Zhi, Zhang Yan and others have less connection with the localities, and more of them represent the interests of the central government. Naturally, their relationship with King Ning should be closer, and their basic interests will also be stronger. If they agree, they can be classified as the Ning Wangfu family.

In the long run, when King Ning ascends the throne in Jiangning, the Sixth Division of Jiangning will directly replace the Sixth Division of Yanjing and become the central institution of the empire. The officials of the Sixth Division of Jiangning, including Cheng Yuqian, will all benefit from it, and can also be counted as part of the lineage of Prince Ning's House.

Dong Yuan may have greater ambitions, but he must rely on Ning Wangfu to obtain resources from the local area in a proper name, so he is also from the Ning Wangfu family at this time.

Compared with the Ning Wangfu family, the Dongyang family headed by Gu Wuchen and the Wu party headed by Yu Xinyuan, Chen Xiyan and Haiyu Chen family are more representatives of local interest groups.

Ning Wangfu, Dongyang Department, Wu Party, plus the late party undercurrent represented by Yongchang Houfu and Yudong Palace Village, almost constitute the current power structure of Jiangdong County.

Strictly speaking, Wang Tian and Wang Xueshan did not belong to the Wu Party, but they had served in the local government for many years, had close contacts with Wu Party figures, and were more inclined to safeguard the interests of local forces.

One of the characteristics of the Wu Party forces is that they pay more attention to literature than martial arts. For a long time, there has not been a person who can speak loudly in the military. In peacetime, civil officials steadily overwhelmed military generals, and this characteristic of the Wu Party was naturally not a disadvantage.

At the end of the dynasty, there was a trend of self-respect for troops in local areas, and the status of the ministers who led the troops and the generals who led the troops became more and more important. This feature of the Wu Party became a fatal weakness.

At the beginning, the Qu family wanted to kill Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen, and they even had to use the unpredictable rabble to steal from Taihu Lake. As a result, Lin Fu and Gu Wuchen attacked and exterminated the clan, which cannot be regarded as a severe lesson.

The frontier army was defeated by Chen Tangyi, and the Liang family was forced to retire for a few years; Li Zhuo made numerous exploits, but he was given suspicion and restraint in many ways - Zhang Xie was stable in the central position, but constantly increased the military power in Yue Lengqiu's hands. this section.

Pingjiang Prefecture has historically been a traditional area where the Wu party's forces were born. This time, Pingjiang Prefecture was placed under the jurisdiction of the North Zhejiang Military Division and became a vassal of the North Zhejiang Military Division. Wu Dang undoubtedly gave a sap on the head.

Yu Xinyuan's scheming and skill are not enough to compete with Yue Lengqiu and others.

In the final analysis, the Wu Party lacked the likes of handsome ministers, and had no relatively independent military force, so it was impossible for the Wu Party to stand up for the Wu Party in the military. Under the current situation, it is naturally impossible to prevent Pingjiang Prefecture from being assigned to the Northern Zhejiang Military Division.

On the one hand, Lin Fu was worried that after the Wu Party was weakened, the Dongyang clan, including Huaidong, would also be restricted and suppressed. On the other hand, Lin Fu knew that the land merger in Pingjiang Prefecture was only more severe than that of Hailing Prefecture. The lords and gentry forces who came to the Wu Party and Pingjiang Prefecture were suppressed.

This contradictory mentality has prompted Lin Fu to take a passive attitude of sitting on the sidelines, and the Chen family stood up at a critical moment, which was quite unexpected to him.

The Chen family also offered favorable conditions for Huaidong, and Lin Fu couldn't take advantage of it either. In the past few days, the fraud has not happened, and it is just delaying the Chen family and the Wu Party more time for activities, contacts, and unified understanding.

Yu Xinyuan is not stupid. Although he has been in conflict with the Dongyang faction for a long time, he knows what to do at this time, which is more in line with the interests of the Wu party.

*********

Yue Lengqiu also felt that it was very difficult, and Yu Xinyuan made a clear statement, indicating that they had communicated in private for a long time.

If he, King Ning, Dong Yuan and others strongly oppose the plan of sending troops thrown by Lin Fu, it will directly push Wu Dang to the opposite side.

And once agreeing to this military plan, Pingjiang Prefecture's military resources are likely to be concentrated in Haiyu County.

Whether the ownership of Haiyu Township can maintain a relatively independent status is directly related to the core interests of the Chen family, and it is certain that the Chen family is behind the scenes. The rising star of the Chen family, Chen Mingzhe is the proud student of Chen Xiyan. If Chen Xiyan pushed this matter behind the scenes, Jiyang and other counties, and even Meng Yishan, the former general of Ninghai, who is currently the deputy envoy of the Department of Institutions in Northern Zhejiang, may form a military group with the Wu Party as the core.

Yue Lengqiu was really hard to choose; King Ning's face was also uncertain, making it difficult to make a decision.

The stakes behind it are too complicated, and the trade-offs are uncertain for a while, let alone the extent to which Wu Dang and the Dongyang clan have been in contact with each other in private, and they cannot discuss anything in court.

Zhang Xitong gave Yue Lengqiu a wink, Yue Lengqiu sighed in his heart, and said to King Ning: "The matter presented by the envoy Lin Zhizhi is very important, should we postpone it for a day and discuss it tomorrow? "

"..." King Ning nodded silently, agreed to Yue Lengqiu's suggestion, and postponed the general meeting until tomorrow.

Lin Fu smiled coldly: When it comes to fundamental interests, no one is a fool. Yu Xinyuan can't see through it for a while, but it doesn't mean that no one will stand up and give him advice. Chen Huawen, Chen Huazhang brothers, and Chen Xiyan who stayed in Jiyang for the elderly are not Fool.

The military meeting was only held for less than half an hour before it was forced to stop. Lin Fu was also in a hurry, dragged the "sick body" out of the city and returned to the Hekou Thatched Cottage, while Chen Huawen remained in the Hekou waiting for news.

************

The discussions in Prince Ning’s mansion before noon were originally top secret, but there is no wall that is impermeable to the wind. Yuan Jinsheng invited Wang Chao, Yu Pijiang and others to hold a banquet for Chen Mingzhe at noon, and learned the details of the military conference from Yu Pijiang’s mouth.

Wang Xueshan's mouth was tighter, and he did not disclose the military meeting to his son Wang Chao. Yu Bijiang is a big mouth, and Chen Mingzhe can't stop the many things he heard from his father, Yu Xinyuan, like a soy bean on the wine table.

After the banquet, Yuan Jinsheng made an excuse, got out and walked first, turned around and returned to the mansion, and told his father Yuan Guizheng about the general discussion.

"As the situation develops, the conflict between Dongyang Clan, Wu Dang, and Ning Wang Clan will become more and more serious. This should be regarded as good news." Yuan Jinsheng said.

"That's right, it's good news," Yuan Guizheng said with a look of excitement, "You ask Zhou He to prepare the silver, and we'll go to Hekou..."

"Okay," Yuan Jinsheng replied, and when he was about to go out to find the Hou's mansion to work on Zhou He, he asked for the gate of the courtyard, and then turned back and asked, "Have the emperor agreed to the matter of King Lu's return to Jinan?"

"I'm afraid this is not easy. It is impossible for Chongguan children to be on guard against the Liang family." Yuan Guizheng said.

"Although King Lu and King Jin are not the direct sons of the first emperor, they, like King Ning, are the nephews of the current emperor, and the blood relatives are in no particular order. The emperor has the intention of making King Ning the heir, so King Lu and King Jin should not be allowed to continue. Stay in the capital and get close to the court, otherwise what will King Ning think?" Yuan Jinsheng said.

"Perhaps when King Ning's status as the heir to the throne is officially established, King Lu and King Jin will be allowed to leave the capital," Yuan Guizheng said. "But these are not important for the time being. It can be dragged on for two or three years. The important thing is that King Ning can't take root here. The Chen family is really surprising. I didn't expect the Chen family to sing this play. Otherwise, Haiyu County will be taken over by Dong Yuan. After that, the situation of Yudong Palace will be much more difficult, but I didn't expect things to be solved easily..."

"Father is convinced that King Ning and Yue Lengqiu will accept Lin Bie's advice?" Yuan Jinsheng said.

"King Ning wants to successfully ascend the throne in Jiangning, and he has to drive the luxury family back to Dongmin, so he can be more at ease," Yuan Guizheng said with a smile, "Dong Yuan is confident that he will not need Huaidong to be restrained from the east, and he will independently recover the two. Zhejiang?"

"Difficult!" Yuan Jinsheng said, "The layout of Huaidong is very ingenious. It is obviously surrounded by various families, but there is room for expansion at the two corners. If Huaidong does not work hard, the bell mouth in the lower reaches of the Qianjiang River will be abnormal. The navy under Dong Yuan’s command is too weak, so he can only send troops to cross the river from the territory of Huzhou in the west, so there is little room for strategic choices.”

"It's impossible for Dong Yuan to not know his own flaws. Even if he finally sends troops from Huzhou, he still needs Huaidong to contain part of the forces of the She family on the eastern front," Yuan Guizheng said, "Besides, King Ning and Yue Lengqiu are at this time. They are absolutely at ease with Dong Yuan because they have the same interests? I think Dong Yuan is a hungry tiger who eats meat and does not spit out bones. Yue Lengqiu and King Ning will not be caught off guard. Control it. King Ning and Yue Lengqiu are not stable at this time, and they will never suppress Wu Dang too much.

Yuan Jinsheng also thought about it, King Ning and Yue Lengqiu could not refuse Huaidong's plan to send troops, unless they did not want Huaidong to contain the luxury family from the east, so they found Zhou He, who was engaged, to prepare the silver liang and send it with their father to the army.
