The news that Fu Youde defeated Liu Song's troops and attacked Jingkou and won a great victory, together with the news that He Ruobi captured Danyang City, were quickly spread to Changzhou.
At this time, Wang Jing was still in charge in Changzhou.
The location of this land is pretty good, with Danyang and Jingkou to the west, Jiangyin to the north, and Wuxi and Yangzhou to the east.
It is the middle node of the territories of Soochow, Southern Qi, and Liu Song.
For the original three-party forces, it was a battleground for military strategists, but now, the three-party forces have been destroyed and surrendered, and the essence of the forces has been owned by the Huai Army.
Wang Jing is in Changzhou and can easily grasp the situation in the three places.
When the news came through.
Wang Jing was naturally very happy.
Immediately let Zhang Dun, who was temporarily transferred, go to Danyang to sort out the government affairs of the Liu Song Dynasty, so as to prevent the Liu Song Dynasty's best land from becoming chaotic and deserted in his own hands.
"Your Majesty, the Liu Song Dynasty is in chaos. The wealthy families are fleeing south. The common people are suffering from wars. Bandits are everywhere... Now we need to transport some grain and grass from Yangzhou to help the people. In this way, the chaos in various places can be quickly subsided!"
Su Wei, who went south with Zhang Dun and Hu Zongxian, replaced Wang Jing in handling Changzhou's government affairs.
Su Wei was originally the chief envoy of Jiangdu Province. From being in charge of the government affairs of one province, he could only assist Wang Jing in handling the government affairs of Changzhou. His authority was greatly reduced.
However, Su Wei was not depressed at all, but became more and more excited.
Because he could see that this was a sign that he was about to be reused.
Controlling the power of a province is absolutely incomparable to becoming a close minister of the king. After practicing by the king's side for a period of time, you may be able to directly become a central minister and take charge of a great power.
Stimulated by this emotion, Solvay became very proactive and energetic.
"Well, you have thought carefully. Then pass the order to allocate 100,000 stones of grain and grass from Yangzhou and transport it directly to Jingkou, and Zhang Dun will distribute it uniformly!"
"Officials in cities and towns under the rule of Liu Song were first demoted to three levels and retained. If they cooperated with our army and performed outstandingly, they were included in the Ministry of Civil Affairs and listed as full-time posts..."
After the other party mentioned food.
Wang Jing easily solved the problem of dealing with the original officials from various places in Jiangnan.
"Is it only the officials of Liu Song Dynasty who are like this, or are all the officials of Southern Qi and Soochow Wu like this?"
Su Wei hesitated and asked.
"Soochow is the same as Liu Song. Southern Qi officials should be demoted to one level and retained. However, they will not recognize their titles, casual officers, and honorary officers. If they want titles, they can only make great contributions to our Huai Army. !”
Wang Jing added.
Su Wei then took the order.
After Su Wei left, another attendant came to report that Xiao Daocheng from Jiangyin was a simple servant and only brought dozens of people to Changzhou to prepare for an audience.
"Xiao Daocheng came in person?"
Wang Jing's eyes moved slightly.
The great ancestor of the Southern Qi Dynasty must have been shocked by the Huai army's successive victories and was completely convinced.
But this is normal.
Many princes in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Song and Soochow in the east were all destroyed by Wang Jing. At present, only the Jinling Ming Dynasty still has the ability to compete with the Huai army.
As for Southern Qi, as early as when it promised to lead the Huai army southward, it existed in name only.
Now, Xiao Daocheng just made Nan Qi's name disappear completely.
If the name of Nan Qi does not disappear, it will be too eye-catching for Jiangyin to still have the name of Nan Qi against the background of the collapse of Soochow and Liu Song.
"When someone comes, prepare drums and chariots, and I will come out to greet you in person!"
Wang Jing immediately ordered.
Su Wei, who was just about to do something, was called back and took charge of the matter. As for civil affairs, with Hu Zongxian's assistance, there will be no problems.
Outside Changzhou City.
Drums sound.
When dozens of people came to the gate of Changzhou City, they saw the royal flag representing King Huai, and they immediately knew that King Huai was personally coming to greet them.
These people immediately dismounted their horses and came forward. A middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament stood out from the crowd and bowed down when he was still a few feet away from Wang Jing.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Daocheng, pays homage to the King!"
"We have met the King, and the King may live long!"
Xiao Daocheng paid Wang Jing a royal courtesy in full view of everyone.
When Wang Jing saw this, a smile appeared on his face.
After the other party saluted, he quickly stepped forward to help him up, "Xiao Gong, please get up quickly. I can only cross the Yangtze River and enter the south of the Yangtze River. It is mostly due to Xiao Gong's strength. I have long wanted to talk to him, but the general affairs are complicated. Failed to do so!”
"I am finally able to meet Mr. Xiao today. It is such a joy for me!"
"Don't dare, don't dare..."
Xiao Daocheng has a handsome appearance, unique grace, and a slightly long neck, which suddenly looks like a dragon's neck... This slightly abnormal appearance is what many people regard as an inhuman appearance.
Being praised so much by Wang Jing, Xiao Daocheng was also very polite and didn't dare to say anything.
The two parties were polite for a moment, becoming somewhat familiar with each other.
Then Xiao Daocheng saw Wang Jing's eyes and took the initiative to introduce everyone around him, "This is my good friend Chu Yuan. He has admired the king for a long time..."
"Your Majesty, Chu Yuan, has met the King!"
The handsome man beside Xiao Daocheng, who looked like a orchid orchid tree, took a step forward, raised his hands and saluted again.
Chu Yuan, there was a ninth-level civil servant!
He was an auxiliary minister who was in charge of the government together with Xiao Daocheng in the late Liu Song Dynasty. He was known as the best in Jiangnan for his appearance and charm. He was also the founder and prime minister who assisted Xiao Daocheng in establishing Southern Qi.
It's just that his reputation, like Xiao Daocheng, is far inferior to other famous monarchs and ministers in history.
when he appears.
Wang Jing had already noticed his life aura. Looking carefully now, I can see that this person's aura is far inferior to Gao Xi's, and he can barely cross the ninth level.
However, after all, he is also a ninth-level celebrity, and Wang Jing's attitude is very enthusiastic.
After simply getting to know everyone.
Su Wei stepped forward to lead the way and invited everyone to enter Changzhou.
For several days in a row.
Wang Jing summoned Xiao Daocheng every day to talk about classics, military and government affairs, and all kinds of things. The two even played several games of chess.
Xiao Daocheng is a national player in Go. He personally taught Wang Jing and Wang Jing quickly mastered the art of Go.
While drinking tea and discussing Taoism with Xiao Daocheng.
With the help of Chu Yuan, Su Wei and Hu Zongxian also tacitly agreed to transfer the sovereignty of counties, villages and towns in Southern Qi, including Jiangyin City, which was completely taken over by Chen Qingzhi.
In silence.
The banner of Nan Qi disappeared in the land of Jiangnan.
This day.
Wang Jing received military information from the west and summoned Su Wei, Hu Zongxian, Lu Meng, Xiao Daocheng and Chu Yuan to come.
"As Chugu expected, Xu Da and Li Wenzhong have led their troops eastward and occupied Jurong and other places, threatening Danyang and Jingkou!"
"The Jinling Ming Army is approaching with great momentum. I wonder if you have any plan to deal with it?"
Wang Jing sat at the top and asked with a glance.
Su Wei was the first to step forward and said: "Your Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang is far away in Xuancheng now. The Jinling Ming army is just taking advantage of the situation and has no confidence to start a war with our army."
"However, our army has just fought a battle and is in urgent need of rest and recuperation. In my opinion, just let General He Ruo guard the city and ignore it!"
"Our army's immediate priority is to rest and reorganize the army and sort out Jiangdong's political affairs..."
Wang Jing was noncommittal.
At this time, Xiao Daocheng took the initiative to stand up, which immediately attracted the attention of Wang Jing and Su Wei.
Su Wei's eyes moved slightly, and the king called Xiao Daocheng to discuss the matter. The main reason was that he had been in Jiangnan for a long time and knew a lot about the situation of the Ming army, so he was ready to serve as a staff officer.
Did he really think of himself as the king's mastermind?
However, as soon as Xiao Daocheng opened his mouth, Su Wei's expression suddenly changed.
"In my opinion, what the king needs to do now is to obey nature and people and ascend the throne as soon as possible...I heard that the Huai army has a territory of thousands of miles and governs tens of millions of people. This is the emperor's career. As the saying goes, the name is not correct. If you don’t follow your words, things won’t happen if you don’t follow your words!”
"Zhu Yuanzhang of Jinling has already established the Ming Dynasty and calls himself emperor. If the king seizes the south of the Yangtze River, he will definitely become Zhu Yuanzhang's enemy... The king uses the title of Huai Wang to fight against the Ming Emperor, and his reputation is naturally lower than that of the Ming Dynasty. Defeating the emperor with a king will damage the military spirit. The public sentiment is not good!”
"I also ask the king to ascend the throne as soon as possible, with God's will and the people's support..."
Xiao Daocheng bowed down with great salute, the sound was like a loud bell.
Everyone present was shocked.
He is trying to persuade you to come in!
Su Wei's face turned green and white at this time, and he wished he could give himself a slap. He was standing beside the king, trying to persuade him to follow the dragon, but he was overtaken by a person who had just defected to him.
Wang Jing was also a little shocked at this time.
He had already prepared for the matter of proclaiming himself an emperor and establishing a country. After taking down Soochow, Southern Qi, Liu Song and other places, he had such an idea.
only.
I thought it was Gao Xi, Su Wei or Bu Zhi who persuaded me to join, but I didn't expect it was Xiao Daocheng...
