Cultivating one's health is the process of letting the Huai army's rule gradually penetrate into the grassroots and completely digest the newly occupied land. The one or two million people who have just been brought under the rule can only become the foundation for Wang Jing's conquests in all directions if they are completely integrated with the Huai army.
Based on this, expand the army, train soldiers, and prepare for the next step of sending troops.
The last step Wang Guangyang mentioned is to combine vertical and horizontal lines.
As the name suggests, it is to allow the Huai army to avoid fighting with multiple princes at the same time as much as possible when it expands.
When attacking Hou Jing and Yang Xingmi, Wang Jing made a quick decision and directly asked Yang Kan to lead 10,000 cavalry to attack and defeat Yang Xingmi's 100,000 army.
If there had not been this battle, Yang Xingmi would have successfully led an army of 100,000 to the north, echoing Hou Jing.
Wang Jing was facing the siege of three princes at the same time.
Even if they win in the end, they will pay a heavy price. With the current strength of the Huai army, if they show their strength and threaten many princes in the south, they will easily be surrounded by alliances.
This is the case with Yang Guang.
He was too famous and powerful enough, so after occupying Yangzhou Gaoyou and other places, he immediately faced the tacit cooperation between Yu Wenhuaji, Zhang Shicheng and the Beifu Army.
"Join Zong Lian Heng... Among the many princes in the south, who will be willing to form an alliance with me along the way?"
Wang Jing asked.
Wang Guangyang traveled north from Gaoyou and traveled thousands of miles to Sihong. He experienced many dangers on the way. When he passed by other princes and forces, he also collected a lot of information about them.
With this information, he was already confident, but he was not the kind of flamboyant character. Very humble.
"I heard that Du Fuwei occupies the west entrance of Hongze Lake. There is Yingbu in the west and Fu Gongyou in the east. There are enemies on both sides, especially Fu Gongyou and he are life and death enemies. If the king sends an alliance with him, I promise to attack He will definitely agree to destroy Fu Gongyou!"
"Fu Gongyou is currently occupying Jinhu and other places. This place is located on the left flank of Chen Leng of the Sui army. If he can capture this place, the king can send troops from two directions to defeat Chen Leng and seize Baoying..."
Wang Guangyang said that he didn't know the strategy, but in fact he was very clear-minded and not inferior to Bu Zhi.
Of course, what he was talking about was strategy. If he was really asked to lead troops, Wang Guangyang would definitely not have such ability.
Baoying is located south of the Huaihe River and north of Gaoyou. It is the outpost of the Sui army heading north.
Only by capturing this place can the Huai army have the opportunity to advance southward along the canal, both on land and water.
Forming an alliance with Du Fuwei can ensure that when the Huai army goes south, it will not be interfered by Deng Qiang and Ying Bu further west, using Du Fuwei as a shield to the west...similar to the original beggar army.
After occupying Baoying, you can form an alliance with Zhang Shicheng and the Beifu Army to deal with Yang Guang together.
The princes from all directions attacked.
Even if Yang Guang maintains his early wise form, he will definitely be unable to defeat the four hands with two fists and be defeated by the four parties...
After Yang Guang was defeated, the Huai army naturally became the largest prince in the Jianghuai land!
"Sir's plan is very suitable to my liking!"
Wang Jing listened to the other party's continuous narration, feeling very satisfied and smiling on his face.
Shen Yi and Bu Zhi also nodded slightly when they heard this.
They all agree very much with Wang Guangyang's sixteen-character strategy, as well as the policy of combining vertical and horizontal lines, making distant contacts and attacking closely.
Wait until Wang Guangyang finishes speaking.
Wang Jing immediately said: "Our army has just captured the land of Huaidong, which is divided into four prefectures: Siyang, Shuyang, Qinghe, and Shanyang. Among them, the positions of the prefects of Siyang and Shuyang are vacant. The two places are in ruins and waiting to be revitalized. Sir, can you If you have a lot of work to do, how about first patrolling the two governments and rectifying the internal affairs of the two places?"
In the official position system of Prince Huai's Mansion, there is no official position of inspector of the two mansions.
This is a temporary assignment. The authority is equivalent to the prefect of Siyang and Shuyang. In the absence of a prefect, he is fully responsible for the government affairs of the two prefectures.
"I will live up to the king's generous treatment!"
Wang Guangyang knew that if he defected to Prince Huai, his salary would definitely not be low, but he didn't expect that Prince Huai would give him such a high-ranking official position just after defecting. Given his mentality, he was a little excited.
In fact, the patrols were just dispatches. Although they had great authority, they were not in line with the system of Prince Huai's Mansion.
When the internal affairs of Siyang and Shuyang are on the right track and other talents are available to fill the prefecture positions, Wang Guangyang will be able to retire with success.
When the time comes, merit will be rewarded, and Wang Guangyang will naturally step into the center and play a greater role in the Ministry of Government Affairs.
In fact, there are many talents in the Huai army who are capable of serving as prefects.
Whether it was Han Xizai or Hu Weiyong, who served as a county official in Baize, it was easy for them to manage a government.
However, Han Xizai was working in the center, which was also short of people and not suitable for decentralization.
Hu Weiyong's reputation is too bad.
He and Wang Guangyang were both prime ministers in the early Ming Dynasty, but Wang Guangyang's ability and character were both convincing, while Hu Weiyong's reputation of being fond of power and forming cliques was daunting.
Even if Hu Weiyong said that he had reformed, no one would believe him in a short period of time.
In other people's minds, if Hu Weiyong is appointed as the magistrate of a place, I am afraid that many magistrates and officials in this prefecture will soon become Hu Weiyong's people...
Wang Jing has no choice but to reuse people who cannot convince the public.
…
June of the third year of Taichu.
Prince Huai's Mansion established seven prefectures and fifty-four counties, and the news that Wang Guangyang became the inspector of the two prefectures also spread.
Wang Guangyang's reputation was indeed not small during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
After Wang Guangyang's name spread, many scholars from the Ming and Qing Dynasties came to join him.
This is the situation in China Continent at this time.
People of the same era will subconsciously feel close to each other and can be regarded as the "township party" of the source world. When a certain township party's reputation spreads and it holds a high position, it will naturally attract talents of the same generation to gather.
After Han Xizai's reputation spread, Xu Xuan took the initiative to join him.
The same is true for Wang Guangyang.
With the support of a large number of scholars and many retired military generals, the officials in the seven prefectures and fifty-four counties were replenished.
As for the small officials at the village level, they need to be selected by the county magistrate from among the people in the county according to the situation.
The improvement and establishment of the entire official system took a full month or two.
Order is initially established, and various chores are numerous.
A large number of matters were resolved by county magistrates and prefects, but there were still many matters that needed to be decided by the central government.
The central officials headed by Shen Yi and Bu Zhi were extremely busy.
Even Wang Jing himself.
Apart from spending time with Da Qiao in the palace every day, he didn't even have time to absorb the dragon's energy and practice.
Wait until July, after the grain harvest in Sihong.
Wang Jingcai relaxed slightly.
On this day, the weather was cooler and there was a light breeze blowing across the land.
Wang Jing took his family members and a group of guards to the outskirts for an outing. Da Qiao had been staying in the palace since he got married, so he couldn't help but feel depressed. It would be better for his health to go out for some fresh air.
Da Qiao's spiritual power has transformed three times, and she is considered a third-level creature. However, she focuses on spiritual power and cannot feed back to the body.
As far as her physical condition is concerned, she is just healthier than ordinary people.
