Chapter 227: The Unwillingness of Zu Dashou
Huai'an Prefecture.
As an important hub for transportation between the north and the south, Huai'an is much richer than other places, and the political attributes attached to it are also stronger than other places.
"Admiral, what should we do next?"
Wu Xiang looked serious and sat on the official hat chair. He looked at Zu Dashou, who was silent and said, "Governor Li's attitude was clearly supported by this matter of military reform. He only did not increase the number of troops and did not allocate food and salary.
, I have to wait for everything.
However, as we head south, the garrisons and local garrisons involved in the transportation army in various places are complicated. It is not easy to set up important towns of the transportation army in the eight provinces."
"It's not easy."
Zu Dashou sighed lightly and frowned, "But it's time to take action. Under the current governor of the grain transport, the Governor of the North and South Central Governors, who are in charge of the grain transport, have begun to gradually build the Grain Transport Branch.
Only our admiral and military yamen has not taken any action so far.
If we continue to be in such a stalemate, I am afraid that Your Majesty will blame you. By that time, our situation will only be more passive."
In the main hall, I fell into silence.
Compared with the difficulties in the Yunjun's reform, what Zu Dashou was worried about was Zu Dale and Zu Kuan and other Liao generals who left Liao and went to Shaanxi to participate in the quelling of rebellion according to the emperor's will.
Although Zu Dashou was getting farther and farther away from Liaoqian, his private letter exchanges have never been broken with Liaoqian, but the time interval is a bit long.
When Zu Dashou learned about this situation, Zu Dale and Zu Kuan, the Liao generals, had already led the Guanning Iron Cavalry and rushed to Shaanxi under the supervision of Li Banghua's army.
Once the so-called generals of the Ming Dynasty are far apart, it is very difficult to form effective control.
"Admiral, do you say that His Majesty...has he discovered something?"
Wu Xiang showed a worried look on his face and expressed his worries, "From being transferred to the Beijing camp to take office, to the admiral of the army, I asked me to stay away from Liao in a step.
I always feel very uneasy in my heart.
I don’t know much about what happened in front of Liao now, but Sun Chengzong still has some prestige in front of Liao.
If he wanted to do anything, would those remaining people really be Sun Chengzong's opponents?"
"This... I am not very clear about it."
Zu Dashou frowned and said, "If we really find something, then we will not be able to take charge of the Yunjun army. We all know the nature of the emperor.
Instead of worrying about these things, it is better to think about how to actually control the important military centers of the eight provinces as soon as possible.
The lifeline of the Ming Dynasty's canal fortune is these tens of thousands of inconspicuous troops. If we can control these troops, even if the emperor really discovers anything, we must consider it.
Let’s not talk about it anymore, the governor immediately went to the Governor’s Office and asked Li Shi Shi to tell him that he had left Huai to inspect the various places, and first clarify the eight general officers under his jurisdiction before talking about it!”
As he said that, Zu Dashou stood up and walked quickly outside the court. Seeing this, Wu Xiang quickly got up and followed him. The two of them headed towards the Governor's Office of the Grain Transportation Governor's Office.
The current situation in front of Liao, the continuous changes in the court structure, and the numerous difficulties faced after taking office as Huai'an Prefecture, Zu Dashou's sense of crisis became stronger and stronger.

He didn't know what purpose was for the emperor to isolate him step by step from Liaoqian so deliberately, but Zu Dashou knew in his heart that he could not sit still and wait for death and did nothing.
If the Liaodong general's affairs were really discovered by the emperor who lived in the Forbidden City, at least he had to have the ability to protect himself.
"How did you investigate the matter that you asked you to investigate in secret?"
On the way to the Governor's Office, Zu Dashou asked in a low voice: "What are the special hobbies of those prefectures such as Xuzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, etc.?
We want to set up an important town for the eight provinces as soon as possible. This Nanzhili is the top priority. As long as this place is successfully built, the rest will be easy."
"We've investigated it clearly."
Wu Xiang thought for a while and said, "The general has sent people to contact those prefects, and they all agree with their preferences. The situation is smoother than expected.
In addition, through those people, I also came into contact with some generals..."
Zu Dashou listened to what Wu Xiang said, but he was secretly thinking that the plan to reform the army was a big deal, and it was unrealistic to think that the army was completely controlled as soon as he came up.
However, first build the important towns of the eight provincial movement troops, and then collect the handles secretly step by step. When the time comes, they will be brought under their command, and then things will become much easier.
The group of Liao generals who followed him south must be placed at the key point. As long as they can fully control the Yunjun, Zu Dashou believes that his weight will be much stronger in the emperor's heart.
"The last general Zu Dashou, pay homage to the Governor!"
"The last general Wu Xiang, pay homage to the Governor!"
In the main hall of the Governor's Office of the Canal Transportation Governor's Office, Li Shiwen looked calm. Looking at Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang, he knew that the two of them came to change for the Transportation Army.
After a simple greeting, Zu Dashou made it straight to the point.
"Governor-General, I want to leave Huai'an temporarily and go to various places to inspect and implement the decree that Your Majesty has stated as soon as possible." Zu Dashou sat on the official hat chair and bowed slightly and said, "After all, I will leave Beijing and take office,
It's been a while since the eight provinces' military transport centers have not made any progress, it's not easy for the last general to report to Your Majesty."
"This matter must be clear as soon as possible."
Shi Wen asked, nodded and said, "The situation in the Governor of the Valley Transport Office is also clear about the situation, which is very confusing.
This involves the issue of the reform of the army, and it also requires the trouble of the Zu Emperor.
But has Admiral Zu thought about where to be the first to clarify the reform of the Yunjun army? After all, the stability of the Yunjun army is related to the operation of the water transport, and there is no difference."
"These ends will still be thinking."
Zu Dashou continued: "But please rest assured that what the Governor will do will not be called the army under the jurisdiction of the Cao Transport Army, and there will be any mistakes."
This time, I came to see Li Shiwen to explain my purpose. I just expressed my attitude to Li Shiwen because of the rules of the officialdom. As for the secrets involved in the reform of the army, Zu Dashou would never tell it.
After all, in this Governor's Office of the Governor of the Valley Transportation, Li Shi asked, who were standing behind those officials, even Zu Dashou was not sure.
The official environment in the provinces in Jiangnan is too complicated. Before the matter of clearing the military movement, Zu Dashou, an outsider or an identity as a military general, would definitely be subject to many invisible constraints.

Even when Li Shi asked about the governor of the grain transport, he stayed safely for a while when he first came to Huaian Prefecture to take office. After meeting some local officials and gentry, he gradually controlled the corresponding voice.
