During the drill in the Iron Supervisor, the Yingtianxiang Army was basically established and began to become a real army. Although it was trained according to the army and divided into various levels, it was only conceptual but not practical. After this full-army drill, many things learned before were truly used in reality. Only when officers at all levels truly understood the meaning of what they learned before. After returning to their garrison, they carried out training again.

With Tangzhou as the center, all units of Yingtian Xiangjun were stationed along the railway line. Li Fugui was responsible for the overall preparation of the war's materials. The Xiangjun was affiliated with the Yingtianju. Except for important materials such as armor and horses, they had to declare that the Privy Council, gunpowder, artillery shells, and bullets were all provided by themselves. These materials are not yet taken seriously by the imperial court. Except for the prohibition of flames and sulphurs, gunpowder is not allowed to be bought or sold, and the others are normal commodities.

In early September, the weather gradually became colder. Nong Zhigao surrounded Guangzhou and continued to attack the surrounding prefectures and counties. He was invincible for a while. The remarks of sending troops south to fight against the court began to increase. Guangnan was too remote, and although the voices of the court's rebellion were weak, there were still some. Some remarks said that if Nong Zhigao got Yong, the governor of the Qizhou of Guizhou would surrender to the court. Liang Shi, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, directly denounced him. Isn't this abandoned Guangdong and Guangxi, and his speech was gone.

Soon, Sun Mian was appointed as the pacifier of Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan West Road, and officially made preparations for the southward journey.

However, the emperor hesitated for a while about which troops went south. In the end, the prime minister favored Ji and made suggestions, with Di Qing as the main general and led the elite imperial guards to the south. Yingtianxiang Army as a reserve force, went south to cooperate.

At the end of September, Di Qing was officially appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Jinghu North Road, and promoted the Guangnan Economic and Control Thieves, supported the two lakes, and the army went south. Almost at the same time, Li Xuan, a direct scholar in Longtu Pavilion and a living roomman, was also in charge of the field affairs of the field. Immediately afterwards, Wang Quanbin, an eunuch in the Neiyuan Envoy and Lingzhou Troupe Training Envoy, was ordered to visit Suizhou to Guanjun, and the Yingtianxiang Army gathered and prepared to go south after Di Qing.

In early October, after Di Qing was determined to be the commander of the south, he selected the three routes of Fuyan, Huanqing and Jingyuan in Shaanxi, and selected the Fanluo and Guangrui troops, each of which was the main force for Di Qing to fight south, and at the same time supplemented the imperial guards in the capital. The local troops in Jinghu and Guangdong and Guangxi were all controlled by Di Qing.

Just when Du Zhongxiao thought he was going to lead his troops to fight, Yang Qi was appointed as the squad and pacifier of Guangnan East Road and the command of thieves, and was determined to lead his troops south. Di Qing's troops were the main force, and they were also in charge of Jinghu, and went to Guizhou to suppress Nong Zhigao's troops. Yang Qi was the deputy, and after the Yingtianxiang army entered Lingnan from Shaozhou, he recovered Guangnan East Road and County and pursued and suppressed along the Yujiang River.

For a while, the soldiers of Yingtianxiang were in a state of mind. They didn’t know who was the commander of the army to move south. For several years, Yingtianxiang’s army was established by Du Zhongxiao, and everyone had already become accustomed to it. In real war, especially in the first battle, if Du Zhongxiao did not accompany him, everyone would have no idea.

Du Zhongxiao was also a little overjoyed and was at a loss for a moment. On this day, he was sitting idle in the yamen and officials came to report that the new magistrate Li Xuan of Suizhou and Shi Quanbin, the military envoy of Guanjun, arrived and were waiting outside the door.

He welcomed the two of them into the yamen and took the seats. Du Zhongxiao said: "Suizhou is a remote small state, and I don't want to get the Longtu as the governor. Don't think that the Longtu is remote. Over the past few years, this place has been changing with each passing day, and is no longer comparable to before."

Li Xuan bowed: "When I was in the capital, I often bought things transported from here. Where is the remote place? The land business is here. The court and the West Jing Road rely on many things, so it is difficult to relocate. Therefore, I was responsible for the mission of Suizhou. After several years of visiting the West Jing Road, the land business not only arranged nearly 200,000 Fiber-tie soldiers, but also did a good job and prosperity. Who would not praise it! At present, the two departments of the Changping Department are busy with affairs, and they are both in charge of one of the two persons, and they are too busy."

Du Zhongxiao said that, but he didn't know what to say for a moment. The land management was developed by himself, and now he will be handed over completely. If he only promoted Changping, wouldn't it be equivalent to being demoted to an official position? There is no news about the promotion.

He said to Shi Quanbin, who was sitting on the side: "The army training, according to the court's wishes, the army of Yingtianxiang was led by Yang Qian as the chief general. He led his troops to Xiangzhou, and he was not here. If he had any intention, I would send someone to let him see the army training here."

Shi Quanbin said: "The misunderstanding of the sacre. Li Zhizhou and I took a bus to Xiangzhou, where we had already met Yang Qian. This time we came to the field affairs of the sacre, and we were specially ordered to see the sacre. The sacre army was built by one hand. How could the sacre army leave the sacre?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "Since that's the case, there is no major problem in the past few days. I will lead the regiment training around. The various units of the Yingtianwuxiang Army are stationed in various states, but the main forces of artillery and cavalry have been around here. There is a railway connecting Xiangyang here and not far from Fancheng. If there is an emergency, you can gather along the railway."

Shi Quanbin said: "The railway is really a good thing! With trains, many large armies can be deployed quickly. In a few days, one or two thousand soldiers can go from Shaanxi to Central Plains. Taiwei Di went south and brought a lot of Shaanxi troops. In more than ten days, he had arrived in the capital."

Several people chatted for a while and talked about the current situation. Du Zhongxiao said: "A few days ago, Chief Zhang went to Dengzhou, and Su Ying ruled to Tangzhou, but several officials were not there. I will hold a banquet to welcome the two of them."

Li Xuan said: "When I left Beijing, the Zhengshi Hall intended to dismantle the land affairs into several departments, and the governors of several major prefectures were also managed. Zhang Yingzhi has been diligent in recent years, and has been restored to Tianzhang Pavilion and was appointed as the governor of Dengzhou, who is in charge of Tang and Dengzhou. I am in charge of Suizhou, and also in charge of Xiangzhou and Suizhou. I will have an order in a few days, and I will naturally know. After all, the land affairs will be placed in the Laxianxiang Army on the same day. Everything is fine today, and there is no need to set up a single yamen."

Du Zhongxiao was speechless for a moment, nodded silently, and did not say anything. Li Xuan said it well, the field affairs in the field had completed its historical mission and there was no need to exist. However, because the family was too strong, it was not directly assigned to the place, but divided into several magistrates, and was also managed by several magistrates. Li Xuan was in charge of Suizhou, but did not go to Xiangzhou because the field affairs in Yingtianwu is here, and Suizhou is the base camp of the field affairs. The most valuable companies in the field affairs in Yingtianwu are all in Suizhou. The complete set of systems and systems are also here.

Li Xuan said again: "It is not only the land management, but also the Changping Office has been on Jingxi Road in recent years. The government affairs hall has been established, and it has officially set up a branch in Jingxi Road. There is a government office and a yamen in the north and south, which is divided into Changping Affairs. The Changping Office of Jingxi Road is naturally in charge of the Changping Office of Jingxi Road, and the yamen is set up in Xiangzhou. The salt and iron judge Shi Yangxiu set up a yamen in Henan Prefecture to jointly hold the Changping Office of Jingxi Road. The imperial court has made a decision and the decree has not yet been reached. The prime minister specifically asked me to give a prophet a proclamation. The Changping Office of Jingxi Road is now the third department's wallet."

Du Zhongxiao nodded silently, wanting to ask, his own farming and field affairs are gone, and Changping has made such a big change, and his power has been distributed. What about himself? How is the court ready to resettle? It can't be like this. Isn't that equivalent to cutting off his own official position? What did you do wrong?

Shi Quanbin smiled and said to Du Zhongxiao, who looked not very good-looking, "Taoju, you have been very effective in organizing the camp Tianxiang Army in recent years. The official intends to let you lead the camp Tianxiang Army to the south, but it has been a committee to decide. For several years, the promotion of the political achievements of the Beijing West Road are obvious to all, and they must be used more. However, the Yingtian Affairs and Changping Office did not arrange it properly, and the court dared not make up its mind to let you lead the troops away. The government will never allow the leadership of the army. Unless the new official can make clear the affairs of the camp Tianxiang Affairs and Changping Office in the past or two months, the training of the auditors cannot leave."

Du Zhongxiao said: "What if I can't figure it out for a month or two, and the Southern Nong Zhigao has settled, what should I do?"

Li Xuan said: "I know nothing about this court affairs. I think I will be given a lot of attention when the referral is mentioned, but I just don't go south."
