Chapter 167 Differences
"Elder Han told me before that the defense system of the Great Song Dynasty can be roughly divided into three major parts, Jianghuai, Jinghu, and Sichuan. Thanks to famous generals such as Meng Gong, Du Gao, and Zhao Gui, it is difficult for Mongolia to capture Jianghuai, Jinghu, etc. Lake, and then turned to Sichuan and Shu in order to occupy the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

In the past two days, I have come to understand more that Mongolia's strategy of conquering Shu should have another purpose, which is to destroy the finances of the Song Dynasty.The severance of the tea-horse trade in the Southwest has already shown its impact.As for the rich land of the Land of Abundance, Song Ting would not be able to afford to lose this part sooner or later.

The key to the defense of Sichuan and Shu is here... Chongqing Mansion and Hezhou City.Why did Mongolia attack Dali?Because of Yu Jie's mountain city defense system centered on Hezhou, the Mongolian army could not break through.Therefore, Wuliang Hetai first destroyed Dali, then went down the Jinsha River, went straight to Chongqing, inserted behind Hezhou, and surrounded Hezhou with three armies.

No matter how the navy of Wulianghetai is, the soldiers and horses must go along the Jinsha River, otherwise they will be exhausted just by carrying supplies.After chatting with Mu Ru the day before yesterday, I kept thinking, Wuliang Hetai came from the upper reaches of the Jinsha River, so what is the key to this battle?

Not in cavalry, not in weapons, only in navy.Due to the terrain in central Sichuan, Mongolia could not take advantage of its cavalry, so as long as there were naval forces strangling the Jinsha River in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Wuliang Hetai would not be able to reach Chongqing, nor would it be able to attack the rear of Hezhou.If the three Mongolian armies cannot meet in Hezhou, they will be defeated.

Syria is the first to bear the brunt of this road war.Qingfu County can go down the Fujiang River and go straight to the rear of Syria Prefecture, and it is very likely that the Mongolian army will invade.How could there be no navy in Qingfu County? "

"..."

Han Chengxu and Han Qi'an were silent for a long time.

Liu Jinsuo wiped his feet, got up and poured the footwashing water and came back. Seeing that the two were still in a daze, he asked, "What's the matter? Don't you understand? I understand everything. Isn't this very simple? Get a little sailor to guard it." Fu Jiang, prevent the Mongolian army from attacking the Syrian Navy."

Han Qi'an said: "I just think that Alang, a county lieutenant, has some vision..."

"It's too big." Han Chengxu sighed.

"What A Lang means is, ignore Fang Yankai's fight for power, train a navy first, and if you make meritorious service, you can get the power of the county lieutenant?"

"Yes."

"But the power of the county lieutenant is not enough." Han Chengxu said: "And without the support of the prefect, the county magistrate, and the head book, this matter will never be possible. Only money and food will not make it through."

Li Xia nodded and said, "I don't mind sharing credit with them, it's just..."

"It's just that they must not believe in A Lang."

"Yes."

"How about it." Han Chengxu said: "Tomorrow, Qi'an and I will go to the pier to have a look. After the tea-horse business road is cut off, there should be many merchants who are willing to sell merchant ships. Let's see if it's feasible."

"That's what I mean. Please survey the terrain and ask about the ships. I'll be in charge." Li Xia said, "Liu Jinsuo, you will accompany Mr. Han and Mr. Yining tomorrow."

"Oh."

"Qiao'er, you will pretend to be a book boy and follow me to help me remember things."

"Okay ok."

"We'll discuss the details later, but I can ask Mr. Yi Ning to help me write a letter to Shi Jun. It would be best if he agrees."

Han Qi'an said: "I'm afraid...it's difficult."

"I'm even more afraid that he will leave this matter to others." Han Chengxu pondered, and said: "But it's okay, A Lang will take the credit first when he handed over the official document."

"There is no need to compete with these state and county officials for credit. If I win this battle, someone will show credit for me."

"Alang just talked about manpower. Since Qingfu has the number of government officials in the middle county, the county lieutenant can lead three or four hundred people, right?"

"I met Zaoban today, and there are 12 vacancies."

"Eat free pay?"

"Hard to say……"

~~
At the same time, Fang Yankai was also listening to Huang Shi's report...

"This lieutenant of Li County orders Zaoli like running an army. It's weird. He is also vicious. I was surprised to see that there are 12 people missing."

Fang Yankai pondered, and asked, "Did he not ask why?"

"I asked, it happened to hit the bang, and he actually went to the office." Huang Shi said, "This is also strange."

Fang Yankai said: "The autumn defense is coming, we can't entrust a county's military equipment to Zhuzi."

"The villain understands. Everyone is saying that the master has managed to stabilize the law and order in the county. If another ignorant county lieutenant comes, and the master's hard work is broken, the life of the common people will be miserable in the future. .But... the villain doesn't know what to do?"

"He needs to settle the residence. Tomorrow, he will go to the house in Shimen Alley to check. He will meet Bao San, Jiang Fan and others."

"The master wants to make him suffer?"

Fang Yankai waved his hand and said: "The young man is very angry, seeing this situation, he will think that I let Bao San and others live in the county captain's house."

Huang Shi rolled his eyes and understood, and said: "At that time Li County Lieutenant thought that he had caught the director's handle and made a commotion about this matter. As soon as the commotion broke out...he must never have imagined that he was the one who made fun of him .

Who doesn't respect Bao Sange's wounded people in the county?After this incident, Li Xianwei looked so stupid, how could he have the face to be domineering?Who in class three is willing to listen to him? "

Fang Yankai didn't answer, just lowered his head and started to deal with official business again.

There was a staff member in the public room who laughed and said, "Fourth brother Huang is quite smart, he knows how to do it?"

"I know, the villain will go to Brother Bao in a while and let them offend County Lieutenant Li severely. Only when people are in a hurry can they make a big joke."

"And don't let County Lieutenant Li hear about Bao San's deeds in advance."

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, the posthouse has already said hello, and I won't say anything to Li Xianwei."

"clever."

"Mr. Jiang has won the award." Huang Shi said: "The master is really clever. Li County Lieutenant came in such a hurry, and the master immediately decided on this wonderful move, which easily made him unable to lift his head in Qingfu County. Come on, when the time comes, a county lieutenant won’t even have a place to live, so he’ll just get out of here.”

Fang Yankai didn't raise his head, he said: "Don't talk about it, the struggle for power and power is a small way, it's just a small thing, there is nothing to boast about."

"Yes, the villain will do it now..."

~~
At dawn the next day, Li Xia put on his official uniform.

It was a blue official uniform with a curved collar and big sleeves, a leather belt around the waist, and a pair of soap boots, which was actually quite majestic.

At least in this Qingfu County, it is already very prestigious.

There are two hard wings on the official hat called "Futou", which makes people feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Li Xia didn't shake his head when he walked, so he got used to it soon.

After he put on his official uniform, the Han family father and son and Liu Jinsuo had already left the house.Li Xia stood outside the house, waiting for Han Qiaoer to change her clothes.

After a while, Han Qiaoer came out disguised as a little book boy.

She was wearing men's clothes all the way, but now she disguised herself a bit, saying that she didn't look like a book boy, just so-so.

"It's not convenient for you, a little girl, to live in Datongpu with us. You have to find a place to live today."

Han Qiaoer shook her head and said, "Everything else is fine, even Big Brother Liu snores too loudly."

"Yeah. I didn't sleep well all night. It's okay to rent another yard."

"Is Brother Li out of money? I bought a silver chain for Sister Gao."

"..."

The two talked about what they had and what they didn't, and walked to the county government office.

At the time of Mao, there were seven bangs in the county government, which were head bangs, which meant "it is difficult to be a king and not easy to be a minister".

The subordinate servants of the three shifts and six houses report to the Yamen and wait for the roll call, commonly known as "Yingmao".

As a county lieutenant, Li Xia is not in charge of the sixth room, but he is very interested in the third class under his jurisdiction.

He didn't care whether Fang Yankai handed over his power or not, he walked into the lobby grandly, ready to meet his subordinates.

……

County Lieutenant Li stepped into the yamen here, and County Magistrate Jiang got up there. He was stunned for a moment when he heard the report.

Jiang Chun has just put on his soap boots, and he will have time to put on his official uniform in the future.

"What's going on? When we were collecting food and going to war, half-grown children delayed things." He frowned, and ordered: "Go and call him, I'll meet him in the middle hall."

"Officer, clothes..."

"Put it on later."

Jiang Chun stepped into the middle hall deliberately wearing only his middle clothes.

After waiting for a while, Li Xia turned in without haste.

"Magistrate Jiang, please be polite."

"Feiyu got up really early." Jiang Chun said with a smile, "Look, I just got up, and I heard you're here, so I didn't even have time to put on my clothes."

What he meant was, "Don't come so early next time, there will be someone in charge at shift [-], so don't make trouble."

Li Xia, as if he didn't understand, said, "Should the county magistrate put on his clothes first? So as not to catch the wind and cold."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Being old is not like you young people are afraid of the cold." Jiang Chun said with a smile: "For some reason, when I am old, I tend to sleep too much. Fortunately, Mr. Zhan is in charge of the massage, so I don't have to wait to get up early. It’s okay to enter the government again.”

"I'm used to getting up early, and it doesn't matter if I come earlier."

Jiang Chun was a little annoyed.

You still don't understand human language, do you? !
He still had a smile on his face, and said: "It won't be too late for Feiyu to go to the government office after handing over the house owner's registry, otherwise, if the official business is delayed or the county government is messed up... By the way, the residence has been settled properly?"

"It has not been settled properly, and there are already people living there."

"Is that so?"

"Magistrate Jiang doesn't know?"

"Yeah, I don't know about this." Jiang Chun changed the subject and said, "It's a pity that the county government is small and only has two yards, so Feiyu and I can't be squeezed into one..."

"It's okay." Li Xia said, "Thank you magistrate Jiang, I'll go carry the luggage right away."

Jiang Chun opened his mouth.

The next official accent I was about to type actually got stuck in my throat...
