While Chahan was not in a good way in the attacks of the two Huai Rivers, news of the defeat of the Mongolian army in Xiangyang came, so Chahan led a large army to flee north. When his subordinate, King Chi Lao, was crossing the Huai River north, he was attacked by the Shunchang defenders of Du Gao's subordinates, and 400 horses were robbed and tens of thousands of other items. At night, the Mongolian army was attacked by the Song army at night. After the old Chi retreated to a safe place, he sent an envoy to ask Du Gao for the 500 war horses and other robbed items from the Song army. Du Gao wrote a letter and replied that if the Mongolian army returned all the Song Dynasty property and people they looted in Liang Huai Rivers, he would return 500 horses, and the matter was left unresolved.

At the same time, a rebellion broke out in Pizhou under the rule of the Mongolian army. The Song army went to rescue him, but was defeated by the Mongolian guards in Pizhou, and the rebellion was quelled.

This is the general situation of the Mongolian activities in the Huaihe River this time.

In general, the Mongolian army attacked Lianghuai this time because of the unfamiliar terrain and temporal attacks, mostly only used traditional plundering tactics and tentative attacks to ravage the countryside of Lianghuai and test the virtuality and reality of cities in various places. There was no such thing as Xiangyang. Qiu Yue, who was guarding Zhenzhou and Du Gao, who was guarding Anfeng, showed extraordinary talents.

Zheng Yunming was very convinced that his senior Du's father was one of the few famous generals of the Southern Song Dynasty who could remember his name in another plane. Today, it seems that he is indeed well-known. As long as Du Gao guards Lianghuai, Zhao Kui and Meng Gong guards Jinghu, he will have enough time to manage the ruined political situation in Sichuan.

He said to the young envoy: "I already know the situation in the two Huai Rivers. You can rest for a while. I will write a book to report to the Huaixi History and the Anfeng Du Zhijun respectively. By the way, I don't know your name yet?"

The young man bowed and said, "Little man Li Tingzhi, a native of Suizhou."

Zheng Yunming subconsciously replied: "What did you do so early? You didn't have it after decades." The words were already out, and Fang Reason was inappropriate and changed his words and concealed: "In addition to replying, you also need to do something. When you return, you will take a detour to Xiangyang and ask Yang Xuan, the commander of the Tulong Army, to ask for a few items. One is to ask for the drawings of the transformed large-scale copper general. This large-scale copper general has a range of thousands of steps and is very effective in defending the city. You asked Yang Xuan to choose a few best craftsmen and craftsmen to go to the Huaidong Commander.

.Second, go and ask Du Gong for a booklet about burning green and red bricks, tell Du Gong that coal can be purchased in Pingxiang and strengthen all cities in Lianghuai into brick walls as soon as possible. Third, ask for a booklet about salt drying. I have called the Dutong Department of Senator Bai to try salt drying in Nanzhang County. Huaiyang is the central market for salt in the country. You go to Du Zhijun, Huaiyang promotes profits with salt, uses salt to consolidate the foundation with cities and villages, and uses firearms to assist the situation, and can be as stable as Mount Tai. As for the upstream, it is all on Zheng Yunming, so he doesn't need to worry about it."

Li Tingzhi responded and said goodbye and went out.

Zheng Yunming leaned toward Wang Deng and said, "This boy is brave and brave. He will definitely be a pillar of the court in the future and will be a position of official positions. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can recruit us as much as possible."

Wang Deng nodded and said, "The new Sichuan System Office officials of the imperial court have arrived in Chongqing now and are urging the governor to return to Chongqing to discuss matters."

Before Zheng Yunming set out to fight in Chengdu, he received a notice from the court that the court was procrastinating and tedious in peacetime, but it was always very quick during the war. The army that rescued Sichuan had just arrived, and the rewards and punishments of Sichuan officials also arrived. Even Zheng Yunming was shocked by his decisive punishment.

Due to the disastrous defeat in the Sichuan war, Zhao Yanna, the Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy, was in charge of the Sichuan side, was dismissed from his post and sent to Hengzhou, Hunan Road. The person who succeeded him as the Sichuan Xuanfu Envoy was Li Zhi, an old minister in his seventies. The court ordered the young and powerful Hunan Pacifier Yang Hui to go to Sichuan to serve as the Sichuan General Commander. As for Zheng Yunming, the governor of Quanzhou who led his army to Sichuan in advance, he was officially promoted to the governor of Lizhou. The governor of Sichuan General Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander Commander and the governor of Jiading Prefecture, and Zhang Yimu, the former governor of Jiading, allowed him to retire and return home.

At this time, being able to retire and return home was a reward from the court. Zheng Yunming knew that at this time, he was able to control the overall military and political situation on the front line. The court, or the person sitting on the dragon throne, had already developed some dependence on himself. The emperor and the central government were actually a community that was quite afraid of trouble. There were more than tens of millions of reports sent to Lin'an every day, and more than tens of millions of instructions issued from the Political Affairs Hall. If you consider each item carefully and analyze it in depth, then gathering all the talents of the world may not be able to support the operation of political affairs. What the court most hopes to see is a comprehensive talent who is obedient, steady, and able to handle things without leaking. He does not have to complain to the court about how difficult things are to deal with it. There are so many local difficulties that hinder the implementation of the imperial decrees. He only needs to do two things, report what he needs to to the court, and then deal with the results that satisfies the court.

Zheng Yunming is such a satisfying talent. When the court gave him money and food, he could form an army at a nearly magical speed. The court appointed him to his official position and he could defend wherever he wanted. When he had needs, he never concealed his political achievements, but the achievements he reported were so dazzling. Such talents were in any dynasty that the court wanted to obtain.

So much so that Emperor Duanping was wrong. In order to avoid the bad luck of the invasion of the Hu people in Duanping, he has now changed his lunar name to Jiaxi. When Emperor Jiaxi mentioned his former prime minister, he talked about his second son of the Dongxiao Palace, he joked: "I wish I could build a ancestral hall for Zheng Yunming in the palace. When there is any trouble, I would send Dong Songchen to worship. It will definitely be more effective than the few incense sticks on Lingyin Temple."

The emperor was just telling a few jokes to his close ministers, but Zheng Qingzhi was frightened and sweating. If these words were passed, there would definitely be court officials who would speak out for the emperor and belittle the emperor's status and lose the way of the ruler and his subjects. The court would even unanimously regard Zheng Yunming as his future political opponent and arouse unreasonable jealousy. Fortunately, when the emperor told these jokes to Zheng Qingzhi, only a few confidants were present. But the emperor was obviously very proud of holding this useful chess piece in his opponent, so he pushed the Sichuan front line onto Zheng Yunming without thinking.

Zheng Yunming had to deal with it carefully. Over the years, he was successful in his career. The emperor clearly wanted to cultivate him, a well-off official, to fight against the increasingly large-scale professional bureaucratic system of scholars. In addition, the local leader was his father's old subordinate, so it can be said that he was taking care of him all the way. He always talked about the same thing in Jinghu. There were many cases of interfering in or contradicting his superiors, all for the sake of the emperor and Zheng Qingzhi, and Zhao Kui was in charge of the situation. Otherwise, why did the people in Jinghu obey his orders so much? Zheng Yunming was clear about this.

But this time he entered Shu alone, the situation was very different. Apart from the ten thousand Jingxiang children he led, he had never served in Sichuan, nor had any old subordinates or scholars to speak of, and was a perfect guest. The officialdom in Shu has always been complicated, and the interests of local tyrants and middle and lower-level officials were mixed together. As long as officials are not careful, they are conspired and played with by middle and lower-level officials, or inspire local civil unrest, it is very dangerous. In addition, there are many barbarians in Sichuan, including Tubo tribes in the west and the Yi tribe in the south, and even the eastern part of Sichuan, they are also mixed with Jianliao. The people are strong and powerful, and they often have conflicts with the Han people and the government on weekdays. The handling of local affairs is much more complicated than that in Xiangyang.

Speaking of the boss, Zhao Yan, the father Zheng Qingzhi's old enemy, had completely lost his political future at this time, and it was not worth worrying. However, the newly appointed Sichuan Xuanfu envoy Li Zhi has been in the officialdom for many years and never easily chooses to take sides. He is neither a noble school of integrity nor a side of Shi Miyuan. His position is always unclear. From a certain perspective, what Zheng Yunming is afraid of is not a person with a clear position. Even if he is a tit-for-tat opponent, because the behavior patterns of these people are easy to grasp and it is also very convenient to formulate a set of strategies to deal with. On the contrary, the old fox in the officialdom cannot capture a clear position, which is the most difficult.

It is not enough to deal with such a difficult old bureaucrat. Only after several years of contact and using various means to spy can one make a generally acceptable judgment.

Similarly, only by taking root and carefully analyzing Sichuan's political situation and people's livelihood can we grasp the inside story. What Zheng Yunming most hopes is to meet the new Sichuan general manager as soon as possible. Only by meeting Li Zhi in person can we carry out first-hand research on him.

Similarly, the weathered and tempered envoy Li Xuanfu, who is nearly 70 years old, is also waiting for the new official to come and pay a visit.

At this time, Chongqing Prefecture was busy like a large construction site. There were more than 2 million refugees and migrants gathered in Chongqing and its nearby prefectures and counties. A large part of them had to go down the river to settle down the sparsely populated prefectures and counties in Jinghu to settle down. The remaining people immediately chose places to start their lives in eastern Sichuan after being assigned to the government. Five hundred thousand stones of grain from Hubei and Hunan arrived one after another, and they had to be distributed to refugees in time. There were calls from the court that all the consortiums in Sichuan were intercepted and used for the resettlement of refugees. However, the court was unable to make up its mind, but instead issued a temporary edict allowing Sichuan officials to intercept all public and private property of officials who fled from Sichuan in Shunjiang to help civilians.
