"The Shengsheng Department has done a good job this time!" The emperor nodded and said, "There are tens of thousands of Poyang Lake water thieves, so if you recruit them, you can be considered very capable!"

"Thanks to Lin Renzhao, who stayed behind in Hongdu, he trapped all the water thieves in Poyang Lake. In order to survive, he had to be recruited by the Jinfan Army!"

Wang Ning has been paying close attention to the Jinfan Military Campaign against the Southern Tang Dynasty. It can be said that it was at his suggestion that he selected capable generals from the Forbidden Army and went to Poyang Lake to make trouble from the bottom of his heart and create the lifeline of the puppet Tang Dynasty.

"Lin Renzhao!" Li Jia thought. In his historical reading, the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty happened after Li Yu unjustly killed Lin Renzhao. It can be said that as the last pillar of the Southern Tang Dynasty, his status was no less than that of the late Warring States Period.

Zhao Guo Li Mu.

Zhao Kuangyin's rumors were simply that Lin Renzhao wanted to establish himself in Jiangxi, which frightened Li Yu and killed him quickly.

At that time, Lin Renzhao had been in Jiangxi for twenty years and had great strength. The situation was completely different from the situation he was in when he first arrived in Jiangxi. His trust was already extremely deep.

Therefore, rumors are currently out of date and difficult to implement.

In terms of civil servants, Han Xizai, Xiao Yan, etc. in the Southern Tang Dynasty were all talented and famous people. Although there were remnants of party strife, they were still open-minded and the central government was not oblivious.

For the Southern Tang Dynasty, being tough won't work, you have to use strategy...

"Who will provide the food for Jinfan Army? Lin Renzhao's siege cannot be broken through easily."

"Reporting to your majesty, this is all thanks to the connection of Chongfu Division!" Wang Ning said with a smile: "Monks and Taoists naturally have a deeper understanding of each other, and if we make some conditions, Longhu Mountain, Youmin Temple, etc. are all willing to provide food.

For assistance, you can also rely on personal connections to deliver food and grass!"

The Chongfu Division is an institution specifically set up by Li Jia to manage religious sects, mainly led by Buddhism and Taoism, allowing them to manage themselves.

For example, each county can only have one temple or temple, and no temple property is allowed. The local government distributes subsidies, and there are strict requirements on the number of Taoist priests and monks.

Although this has a restrictive effect on the power of temples, its supervisory power over small temples cannot be underestimated. Large temples are extremely happy with this. They already have a lot of money for incense, so they give up some temple property in exchange for it.

Regular court subsidies and power are what I am happy to do.

Leader Buddha, Tao, this is the pursuit of monks who are keen on power.

For example, in Longhu Mountain, father and son have been rich for hundreds of years, and their desire for power has exceeded wealth. Anyway, the court may not be richer than his family.

Therefore, they are eager to be recognized and expand their power, such as the leadership position of the Taoist sect.

It's okay to make use of it.

"The power of Buddha and Tao in Jiangxi is indeed strong, but it can only be used, not relied upon. After we take over, we must restrict it!"

Li Jia said solemnly, Jiangxi has a population of more than two million and has been at peace for many years. There are countless religious men and women, and Taoist temples are intertwined. It is convenient to use them, but if they are used by others, they will suffer.

"We exchanged real gold and silver for food, and those monks and Taoists didn't know the relationship between Jinfan Army and us!" Wang Ning explained.

"You can't relax then!"

"Jinfanjun is an important move!"

…………

In the third year of Shenwu of the Tang Dynasty and the third year of Jianlong of the Song Dynasty, on March 26th, on this day, there was lightning and thunder in Quanzhou City, and dark clouds rolled over the city. It was a sunny day, but it seemed like dark night, and the breathing was a little dull. The bustling city

The gathering also dispersed because of the coming heavy rain, and not many pedestrians were seen on the spacious road.

Boom——

Suddenly, a huge thunder sounded, and a huge bolt of lightning illuminated the entire city, and everyone was shocked by it.

Crash--

The heavy rain poured down, and the people who had been waiting for a long time finally breathed a sigh of relief. The sultry weather was really uncomfortable.

My wife called softly from the pillow: "Alang, Alang, get up quickly!"

"Oh?" Zhang Hansi was woken up. He only felt his eyes were sore. He was old and frail, and his sleep was not good. He just fell asleep in boredom. He was extremely unwilling to be disturbed by others, so he reluctantly turned over and asked: "Yes?"

What's the matter?"

"The commander of the army is here!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hansi suddenly woke up. As the deputy commander-in-chief of the Qingyuan Army, he had always been inactive because of his old age and frailty. Moreover, he had always respected Chen Hongjin, the commander-in-chief.

The commander-in-chief of the army, Chen Hongjin, who was in the fourth rank, was in charge of the Qingyuan Army. He was an effective general left by the King of Jinjiang and was responsible for commanding the army. It can be said that he was the second person with outstanding prestige among the Qingyuan Army.

Zhang Hansi stood up in surprise, opened the curtain, and said while getting dressed: "Please come in quickly!"

Unexpectedly, Chen Tongjun pushed open the door and walked in, saying: "Hurry and clean up, the king has summoned you!"

Chen Hongjin is an orthodox martial artist with a round face, dark skin, and strong arms. As soon as he comes in, he is like a gust of wind.

"Okay, I'll be ready soon!" Zhang Hansi said quickly while putting on his boots, with a nervous look on his face.

Chen Hongjin took a step forward and lowered his voice very low: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't work anymore, so you have to act according to the situation!"

What he said was very interesting. He acted according to the situation and was thought-provoking. Zhang Hansi was a veteran who had followed Liu Wang for many years. Although he was old, he was not confused. His body trembled and his mood was extremely heavy.

"Let's go!" Chen Hongjin said in a deep voice: "If you don't enter the palace, it will be too late!"

"Okay, okay!" Zhang Hansi responded quickly.

After leaving the mansion, I rode a horse and walked a long way. When I arrived in front of the palace, I bent down and looked eastward. The sky was already getting slightly brighter.

The lights in front of him were bright, but it was quiet. Occasionally, a chamberlain walked by. Although the two of them were warriors, they also walked lightly. Their respect for King Jinjiang came from the bottom of their hearts.

As long as it lasts, the majesty of King Liu will never fade away.

This palace was left over by Emperor Yanzheng in the late Fujian period. After Congxiao separated Zhang and Quanzhou, he didn't care about pleasure. After simple repairs, he moved in.

The two of them could vaguely see the weeds near the stone staircase, and their minds were heavy.

When I climbed up the steps and stepped into the main door, a personal eunuch came out to greet me. He didn't even have time to salute, but just whispered: "Please come in quickly!"

The two of them felt their hearts sinking, glanced at each other, and left in a hurry.

Chen Hongjin stepped into the main hall. In addition to him and Zhang Hansi, there were also Cai Zhongyun, the tooth general, Sun Xiao, the official, Zhang Du, the secretary-general, and all the officials of the shogunate, big and small, crowded together.

Everyone was silent and just stood according to their status, with their heads lowered and expressionless, not knowing what they were thinking.

Chen Hongjin's arrival caused a stir in the entire palace. Many people looked up, either with hostility, relief, or intimacy.
