Reborn in the late Northern Wei Dynasty

Chapter 456 Interpretation
As expected by Gao Yang and Gao Yan, there were indeed two people on the accompanying list, but what was surprising was that the four wives of the harem accompanied them on the southern tour.

Er Zhu Ying'e, Song Shi, and Yuan Zhonghua had not left the palace since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and they were able to accompany them this time, in fact, they borrowed the light of Xiao Miaochun.

The most important task of Gao Cheng's southern tour is to appease the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, so bringing Xiao Miaochun with him will be of some use to some extent.

But Xiao Gao Wang is not a person who likes the new and dislikes the old, so he let the four women go together, so that the outside world can be less suspicious of the latter.

Discussions about the ownership of the Queen's position have never ceased since the death of Princess Zhuzhu.

After all, the registration of the queen is related to the foundation of the country and directly affects the competition for the reserve.

In addition to the four wives of the harem, Gao Cheng also added the names of his cousin Gao Rui's family. He also intended to take this opportunity of the southern tour to get in touch with Yuan Jiyan more, to see if they could reunite.

Because Gao Longzhi was sent to Yecheng to build a palace, Gao Cheng left Yang Min, Cui Jishu, Cui Xian, and Zhao Yanshen to preside over the state affairs, and Chen Yuankang supervised Luoyang.

Gao Xiaozhang, King of Jin, Gao Xiaoyu, King of Qin, Gao Xiaowan, King of Zhao, Gao Xiaoguan, King of Lu, and Gao Xiaocong, King of Yan stayed in the six ministries, each performing their duties. Even the sixth son, Gao Xiaogui, who had not yet served, was not with him.

In the sixth year of Zhaode (553), on September [-]th, Gao Cheng rode [-] horses out of Luoyang, planning to cross the river via Huainan, go down to the east of the river, and then go westward, crossing from Jingnan to north, and return to Jiangbei.

Along the way, Gao Cheng sent people to hint repeatedly that Yuan Jiyan knew what he meant, but after finally firming up her determination, she would not change again.

After being declined several times, Gao Cheng finally determined that she didn't want to continue the relationship, and she never forced her, but completely put the past feelings behind her.

The car arrived in Hezhou in late October, and Liu Zhongli, the governor of Hezhou, led a group of officials out of the city for twenty miles to meet him.

After entering the city, Liu Zhongli asked himself to be transferred to a civilian position, and handed over tens of thousands of Jiangdong soldiers and horses under his command.

Being moved to the north of the river, it was like a duckweed that lost its roots, and Gao Cheng rode back with [-] steps in a mighty manner. Liu Zhongli, who had always controlled the soldiers and horses in the east of the river, finally let go.

Gao Cheng greatly appreciated this, made him a marquis, and dismissed soldiers from Liu Zhongli's army.

Among them, the old and weak were kicked out of the military camp, and they were given a sum of money to return to their hometowns to farm and receive land distribution.

The strong and strong men were sent to Jiangzhou to be assigned to Wu Mingche's command, and the rest were sent to various places in Jiangdong as state and county soldiers.

The military rectification in Hezhou, when Gao Cheng drives to Jiangzhou, will also be staged among Wu Mingche's troops.

After Luoyang newly recruited [-] cavalry as soldiers, Gao Cheng decided to streamline Xiao Liang's original army.

Since the Xiao Clan's civil war, Xiao Gang, Xiao Lun, and Xiao Yi have expanded their armies one after another, resulting in a mixed army of good and bad generals. This time to eliminate the old and the weak is also one of Gao Cheng's goals.

As for the distribution of money and land for the eliminated soldiers, it is also necessary, and the responsibility will definitely cause trouble.

In recent years of wars in the south of the Yangtze River, most of them are lands without owners, and Gao Cheng encouraged the gentry to buy handicrafts, and he also made a lot of money, which was enough to cover the severance expenses.

After solving the reorganization of Hezhou's troops, Gao Cheng once again crossed the river from Caishiji, but now there is no Nanliang navy to disturb the construction of the pontoon bridge.

After Xiao Yi set himself on fire, Xiao Yuanming defected to the Northern Qi Dynasty. After all, Gao Cheng was still nostalgic, and arranged a residence for him in Luoyang as shelter, but he did not arrange an official position.

As for Xiao Yuanming's wives and concubines who were placed in Yaoguang Temple, whether they were Zhang, Yu, Wang, and Ruan who were captured in Shouzhou, or Xiao Zhengde's wives and concubines who were captured in Jingkou, they could not be returned.

After all, many of them gave birth to daughters for Gao Cheng.

Before Caishiji crossed the river, Gao Cheng issued an edict to change the governors of the four southern prefectures to be the governors, namely Duan Shao, the governor of Wuzhou, Wu Mingche, the governor of Jiangzhou, Gao Jishi, the governor of Hengzhou, and Hu Luguang, the governor of Xiangzhou. In addition, there are She Digan, the governor of Liangzhou, and Zhang Liang, the governor of Liaozhou.

The establishment of the post of general manager also marked the complete transformation of the post of governor into a civilian position, and no longer concurrently in charge of the military.

At the beginning of November, Gao Cheng crossed the Yangtze River and came to Jiankang again. The demolished houses on the south bank of the Qinhuai River had already been rebuilt.

Gao Cheng asked the four wives to ride with him, and because Duan Shao sent people to control the houses along the street early, Gao Cheng also rarely entered the city in an open-air carriage, so that the people of Jiankang could see the sky.

Master Yao, who was in charge of the guard work, didn't dare to be careless for a moment, and kept a high level of mental tension all the time, his neck twisting from side to side didn't stop at all.

Fortunately, there was no assassin as he imagined. After all, Gao Cheng hadn't been in an open-air carriage for more than ten years.

After Xiao Gangjin presented the table of surrender, Gao Cheng implemented the five-capital system, with Jiankang as Nanjing and Jiankang Taicheng as his palace, so he naturally lived in Taicheng as the master this time.

Duan Shao, the general manager of Wuzhou, recently took another woman from Jiangnan as his concubine. She is as beautiful as sisters Yuan Jingyi and Yuan Yuyi. .

Xiao Gao Wang naturally dismissed this, he was just a frog in a well, if he really saw the grand occasion of Yaoguang Temple, how could he be complacent because of a woman.

Over the years, the lineup of Yaoguang Temple has been expanded again and again.

At the beginning, they were concubines from the Yuan and Wei Dynasties, then the enemy generals and wives of vassal kings who came from wars and plunder, and later even criminals’ relatives. light temple.

Of course, discussing female sex was just a joke for the cousins ​​to reunite after a long absence. After the banquet, Gao Cheng left Duan Shao behind and discussed with him the plan to attack Chen.

Gao Cheng intends to attack Chen with three armies next year. The first route is led by Duan Shao out of Fujian, the second route is led by Wu Mingche out of Jiangzhou, and the third route is led by Gao Jishi to Nanling.

It is precisely because of the intention to march south next year that Liu Zhongli's elite men will be dispatched to Wu Mingche.

Duan Shao has no objection to the plan to dispatch troops on the third route, but the differences with Gao Cheng are mainly on the arrangement of Hu Luguang and whether Wu Mingche is suitable to be the leader of the second route.

From Duan Shao's point of view, whether Wu Mingche, a Han from the south, can take on the important task needs to be considered again.

Gao Cheng didn't listen to this point. In his opinion, Wu Mingche was capable of being the leader along the way, regardless of his loyalty or ability.

As for Hu Luguang's arrangement, Gao Cheng intended that Hu Luguang would stay in Jingnan to guard against Yu Wentai, but Duan Shao suggested that if Yu Wentai led the army to rescue Lingnan, Hu Luguang would seize Chuzhou regardless of the cost, that is, future generations In the Chongqing area, open the gateway to Shu.

In Duan Shao's view, the importance of being able to open the door to Shu is even higher than that of Sanlu Chen.

After much deliberation, Gao Cheng agreed with him, and decided to gather the troops from Guanzhong and go to Liangzhou at that time, and She Digan would make a big splash in the north, forcing Yuwentai to divide his troops to guard the Shu road, and then attack Chen from three routes. Going east to intervene in the war, he seized Chuzhou with Huluguang.
