On the ninth day of the 10th month of the fifth year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin sent news from Zhongdu 600 miles to arrive in Lin'an City.

The fulfilment negotiator Xin Qiji, holding the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor in Lin'an City, officially appointing Zhao Dun as the lord of Jiangnan.

All representatives and officials of Jiangnan Kingdom were in power under the supreme rule. Under the leadership of Ping Zhang's army and state affairs, Chen Gai, paid a great ceremony to pay homage to the imperial edict of the Ming Emperor. He also took the imperial edict on behalf of the emperor Zhao Dun, who was ill in bed and could not get up. He also expressed his sincere gratitude to the emperor.

Chen Gai said that from then on, Jiangnan Kingdom will serve the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly under the leadership of His Highness Zhao Dun and provide help to the Ming Dynasty wholeheartedly. What the Ming Dynasty wants will provide, Jiangnan Kingdom will provide. The goal that the Ming Dynasty wants is the highest mission of Jiangnan Kingdom.

At the same time, the news that Chen and others hoped to hear finally heard.

Su Yonglin allowed the request of the Ming army to garrison near Lin'an City by the Lord of Jiangnan to approve an army of 30,000 troops to be stationed in the surrounding areas of Lin'an City as a deterrent of the villains and to protect the Lin'an court.

The stationing time is tentatively set to two years, and all military expenses and supplies will be allocated by the Lin'an court, and all the standards are completely done according to the Ming army.

When Jiangnan Kingdom encounters dangers related to actual existence, the Ming army will not respond without reaction. They will give Jiangnan Kingdom enough help within their ability.

It's equivalent to spending money on insurance.

Even so, when they saw the military expenditure list, they all widened their eyes. On the one hand, they found it incredible, but on the other hand, they felt that there was no reason why the Ming army was so powerful.

Three meals a day, delicious food and drink, regular meat, vegetables, and even fruits, enough military doctors and medicinal materials, sufficient military uniforms for the year four quarters, relatively generous military pay, and welfare rewards during festivals...

These alone are beyond the reach of the Song army.

In addition to these, the Ming army also needed large quantities of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and large quantities of tables, chairs and benches, because they needed to study and learn calligraphy to enhance their cultural knowledge.

He died young, and Datou Bing is about to study and study!

This is simply incomprehensible.

But when you think about it this way, it seems that it is not difficult to understand whether the Ming army enforces strict military discipline, isn’t it?

The Ming army troops selected to stay were the You Yi army under Zhou Zhi's troops, with a total of 30,000 people.

Their station is in the area of ​​Gaoting Mountain north of Lin'an. Jiangnan Kingdom needs to build large-scale military camps that meet the standards for the army as soon as possible. Of course, all costs must be paid by Jiangnan Kingdom.

Although it hurts a little, since it is for safety and for the future, there will be no chaos when the Lin'an court is most vulnerable in the future. This is also helpless.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Jiong, at the suggestion of Zhang Ju, reduced the army of more than 60,000 people that the Lin'an court can now control to 50,000, and rebuilt the imperial guards based on the three organizations of the Palace Front Division, the Guards Horse Army Division and the Guards Infantry Division.

The distribution method is 10,000 people in the Palace Front Office, 20,000 people in the Guards and the Guards and Infantry Division.

This suggestion was accepted by Chen Ji, so Chen Ji started to arrange this work. Finally, the more elite 10,000 people were organized into the Palace Front Division, and the remaining 40,000 people were distributed equally, and the Guards and Guards Infantry Division were established.

Among them, the commander of the Palace Front Office was Zhang Jianshu, a confidant promoted by Shen Gai himself.

This person has been wandering around in the imperial guard system and avoiding the catastrophe of the imperial guards several times. This time he was attracted by Chen Gai and promoted to the palace commander, responsible for the leadership of the palace front office.

The Guards' Horse Army Division was commanded by Lu Yongyan, recommended by Zhang Ju, and commanded the Guards' Horse Army Division.

The commander of the Guard Infantry Division was Ding Shun, the imperial guards recommended by Zhou Linzhi, and was responsible for commanding the Guard Infantry Division.

Chen Gao also knows what it means to enthrone the ministers.

Gu Tu

When he launched a coup, he was the leader, so after the coup, he naturally became Pingzhang's military and national affairs, taking charge of all the power of Jiangnan Kingdom. The king Zhao Dun was just a mascot.

However, this does not mean that he is the greatest hero, nor does it mean that he can decide everything.

Without two important helpers, he would not be able to accomplish anything.

One of these two important helpers is Zhang Feng, and the other is Zhou Linzhi.

Zhang Shi provided him with the army controlled by Lu Yongyan, and personally led the army to carry out some important and dangerous tasks, seized the military power of the city defense force, and made great contributions.

Zhou Linzhi used his good popularity to mobilize some old bureaucrats who could not be mobilized by Chen Gai. He led a large number of old bureaucrats to support the coup launched by Chen Gai, and cooperated with him, which also made great contributions.

Without these two people, his coup would be difficult to succeed and he would not have the current political status. So when he actually "secretly enfeoffed the ministers", he distributed the crucial military power to these two people and the forces behind them as rewards.

Of course, Shen Bei should take away the best and most important thing to ensure his position as chief executive.

He took away ten thousand people with the best physique and the largest figure as the front office of the Palace Department, responsible for the defense and garrison of the entire Lin'an City.

Later, three military camps were arranged inside and outside Lin'an City, and the army was placed in it, and the defense of the entire Lin'an City was completely grasped, and the Lin'an City and the king Zhao Dun were firmly in hand.

Although the troops of the Guards and the Guards and Infantry Division controlled by Zhang Feng and Zhou Linzhi also held the title of Guards and Imperial Guards, their garrison was not in Lin'an City. The Guards and Horses and Army Command were in Yuhang, and the Guards and Infantry Division was in Xiaoshan, which was still a little distance from Lin'an City.

Zhang Shi and Zhou Linzhi did not show any dissatisfaction with this arrangement on the surface, but in private he still expressed some dissatisfaction with the people behind him.

Because Chen Bei did this obviously to make himself dominate Lin'an, and neither of the other two could get involved in Lin'an.

Although there is nothing to be angry about, there are still some unhappy things.

Of course, Chen Gao is the biggest contributor. Pingzhang’s military and national affairs, everyone obeys your orders, but you also have to show some demeanor, right?

As a result, one is directly in Yuhang and the other is in Xiaoshan. You "stay behind" Lin'an by yourself. Don't you know what this means?

But these are not the most important things.

At present, the external environment is still relatively dangerous and it is far from time to start engaging in internal fighting, so Zhang Shi and Zhou Linzhi controlled their emotions and then made preparations for the next step.

The next step of preparation is naturally to invite Ming army officers to come and provide training and guidance to the three armies.

Chen Gai and Zhang Shi agreed with this suggestion, but Zhou Linzhi did not agree with it.

Zhou Linzhi hated the Ming army and said that he could train himself to look like he did not need the help of the Ming army. So Chen Jie and Zhang Bai made a request, hoping to invite some capable grassroots officers of the Ming army to serve as instructors and guide the training of the imperial guards.

Regarding this invitation, the Ming army conducted some discussions within the Ming army, and then reported it to Zhongdu. They replied to Lin'an, saying that they could send someone to help after waiting for Zhongdu's notice.

There is no hurry.

Chen Gai took Zhang Feng and Zhou Linzhi to pay time to meet Zhao Dun. He conveyed the result after they discussed with the Ming Kingdom when they discussed it with the Ming Kingdom, telling Zhao Dun that the Southern Song Dynasty no longer existed, and the name of Song no longer existed, and the only thing left was Jiangnan Kingdom.

Then congratulations to Zhao Dun on taking office as the head of Jiangnan Kingdom.

Zhao Dun just had a sarcastic look on this and spoke with mockery.

"How do you need me? Why don't you kill me and be the king of the country yourself! Chen Gai, I'll give you this king of the country?"
