What's more, Lingnan has always been located in a remote location, and the separatist forces in the Central Plains disdain Lingnan. Coupled with the inconvenience of transportation and the blockade of information, they have no idea of the purpose of the layout and arrangement.
It can be said that Lingnan was still extremely desolate during this era, despite efforts to open roads and a large number of immigrants to survive. But for Lingnan, which is full of miasma, many places are still inaccessible and primitive areas.
Many places in Lingnan are mysterious and the local residents who have lived there for a long time do not dare to get involved, let alone the people in the Central Plains. Although the coast of Haimen is close to the islands, imagine how many places like this are there along the coast?
As Lai Lai, it can be said that he knows the general landforms of Lingnan very well, which is his biggest advantage at present. It's like your own army has a monitor in the sky, clearly grasping the general situation of every place, but others can only speculate.
With a clear and long-term layout, the strategy has been implemented in half a year. As long as the decree is implemented, Lingnan can be said to be impregnable. I am confident and have always been firm. I don't have to worry about the Song Dynasty's invasion in a few years. Now we can also vigorously develop our own strength and layout the future war situation against the Central Plains with Lingnan as the center.
During this period of time, there was a bit of a combination of work and rest. In order to cover up my ears and eyes in Prince Xing's Mansion, I usually spent a lot of time eating, drinking and having fun, so I naturally studied eating thoroughly. I remembered that when I came to Yongzhou City in my previous life, I was very interested in this strange snake written by Liu Gong. I had to feast on it every time.
Stir-fried snake skin, cold snake shreds, first-grade snake soup, and other cooking methods, Liu Jixing can be said to be master of all.
But they didn't seem to be on the same channel, and they didn't seem to have the intention to listen at all. They didn't even listen to the food Liu Jixing talked about so much. She was not thinking about things in Shu, but many things were mixed together, and her mind was full of random thoughts.
Seeing her dazed eyes, although she was a little surprised, she immediately understood. After all, she had suffered too much stimulation in this short period of time. He didn't bother her, but he had no interest in talking anymore. He took her little hand and led her slowly down the hillside, approaching the city gate.
Because Jinling City had just been captured, and he had not even been arrested as a defense envoy, although he seemed relatively relaxed as a commander, he was actually very tight.
However, although the most famous person in Jinling City is the clan brother of the current Lord of Chu, his relationship has actually gone beyond the five servers. However, people in this era only recognized this family relationship, and naturally understood Zhou Dunqi's identity very well but also looked down upon him. What they valued was Zhou Dunqi's ability in Yongzhou City.
Because this Zhou Dunqi was not only the governor of Yongzhou City, but also the defense envoy of Yongzhou personally appointed by Zhou Xingfeng. In this era, this was his most important position in Yongzhou City. However, what He Xiaoyao values is his other identity, that is, he is also the training envoy of the Yongzhou regiment.
Many people find it strange that the defense envoy, as the most important military officer of a state or a government, can be said to be the governor concurrently, reflecting his highest authority in the state. Why Zhou Dunqi was given the status of another regiment trainer starts with the special nature of Yongzhou City.
From a strategic point of view, Jinling City is one of the southwest gates of the Chu region, connecting the Lingnan and Lingxi regions. The most important city of Yongzhou is also a mixed settlement in the Chu region and an important window for communication and contact with Wuxi. The transportation of materials from south to north is also a bridge between various barbarian alliances for a win-win situation.
Because of this importance, its importance in the Chu region and even the Xiangjiang River has naturally become more obvious.
As an important state official under his command, Zhou Xingfeng naturally regarded Zhou Dunqi as his confidant, and I believe he would rather regard Zhou Dunqi as his relative. Because he was promoted by the general of the Guards next to Zhou Xingfeng, there were many reasons and there was no other way to resolve it. He was transferred to stationed in Hengzhou. Although he was also a defense envoy like Zhou Dunqi, his defense envoy was a general defense envoy. He was responsible for the defense of several states and was much more valuable than Zhou Dunqi's defense envoy.
He has always been very suspicious and must be on guard against others, so the importance of Zhou Dunqi as a defensive envoy is naturally self-evident. Zhou Xingfeng was on guard against Zhang Wenbiao, but he didn't know that Zhang Wenbiao was also on guard against Zhou Xingfeng, because he had a good personal relationship with Zhou Dunqi. Zhang Wenbiao was actually happier when Zhou Dunqi was appointed to Yongzhou City.
I have learned a little bit about the entanglement in this through the secret party's intelligence. He valued Zhou Dunqi's other identity because this regiment training team was different from the Self-Defense Forces elsewhere. Because Han and barbarians have always lived together in Yongzhou, it is quite difficult to recruit soldiers here, let alone recruit children of the Han and barbarian groups to train for the regiment.
But what is shocking about Zhou Dunqi is that he not only successfully completed it one after another not long ago, but also recruited a team training camp with thousands of people. When Zhou Xingfeng heard the news, he personally sent someone to inspect it. It was discovered that the regiment trained by Zhou Dunqi was still a self-defense force composed of Han and barbarian people. This was simply a miracle given the current shortage of soldiers in the Chu region.
The Lingnan and Han troops successfully entered Yongzhou City, but were not resisted by this team. Liu Jixing naturally received the information, and after knowing the reason, he couldn't help but feel a little bit amused.
That's because Zhou Dunqi had just recruited the regiment to train, and according to Zhou Xing's instructions, he placed it at the only racecourse in Yongzhou City, Dong'an Racecourse, for the cavalry commander Sha Wulong to train. Zhou Dunqi's original intention was to let these people learn equestrian skills first, and then hand them over to the infantry commander Zhang Wenda for training.
However, things in this world often backfire. This regiment, which had not yet had time to take shape, had not yet been able to become the main force of Yongzhou City, because Zhou Xingfeng would not be able to supply supplies so quickly, so it suffered the fate of the Southern Han army falling from the sky.
Naturally, their basic weapons are not equipped in place, and their equestrian skills are far from perfect, because they do not have a coach like Liu Jixing who can specialize in training. So when He Xiaoyao sent people to destroy the racecourse, these people basically showed no resistance like the common people, and they dispersed everywhere like smoke.
This may be one of the biggest mistakes of the Chudi regime, but He Xiaoyao discovered Zhou Dunqi's ability in it. What could enable him to obtain such a large source of troops? He Xiaoyao must have a long talk with Zhou Dunqi. Of course, if he does not compromise or surrender, this wish will obviously be difficult to realize.
