Go to spatreon/Tang12 ___________________________ While it caused the ceremony to be longer than usual, Zhao Wei and Wang Shang ignored him and let the ceremony continue until it was done, Liu Zhang then was declared the Governor of Yi Province, where letters of the announcent were soon spread all across the land to inform of Liu Yan’s passing away and Liu Zhang his youngest son succeed his position as the Governor of Yi Province.
When the announcent was known by major Lords such as Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they just sneered because they knew about Liu Zhang’s nature and that he would only beco a puppet for the Nobles of Yi Province.
Liu Biao and Zhang Lu on the other hand see this as an opportunity, well for Liu Biao maybe it’s not him who sees this as an opportunity but his retainers who see this as an opportunity to expand Liu Biao’s domain.
On the other hand for Zhang Lu, this could beco an opportunity for him to expand and also rebel against Liu Zhang, because in the past his family was taken by Liu Yan which caused him to swear loyalty to Liu Yan.
Now that Liu Yan is dead and Liu Zhang was the one who succeeded him, Zhang Lu feels that there’s an opportunity he could exploit in the future, for now, he will need to prepare to wait for that opportunity to co.
As for Lie Fan, he has long known about the undercurrents in Yi Province and Liu Yan’s sickness alongside the death of his two sons, but the news of his death and Liu Zhang’s ascension was a surprise for him and Jia Xu.
He expected Liu Zhang’s Ascension last year since according to the original tiline it should have been last year at 194 AD, so the year passed and nothing happened he thought it would be different and Liu Yan would continue to lead Yi Province as its Governor.
But now since it’s going according to the original tiline, Yi Province will beco as vulnerable and chaotic as it was in the original tiline and the Nanman Tribe will slowly be integrated under ng Huo’s rule which would beco a tumor for whoever controls Yi Province.
The ascension of Liu Zhang as the Governor of Yi Province to replace his father caused Yi Province to not be taken seriously, especially by its neighbors.
Of course, Zhao Wei and Wang Shang knew this so they tried to push Lou Zhang to decide between the proposals they have proposed to him, to raise his prestige in front of the people and the neighboring Warlords.
Unfortunately, Liu Zhang’s soft, kind, and timid nature caused him to lack decisiveness in choosing, especially with Zhao Wei and Wang Shang pressuring him from the side.
This slowly led to widespread resentnt brewing from the people of Yi Province, since they felt that Liu Zhang was too lax and his control over the Nobles and rchant Clans of Yi Province was too feeble.
In the future, this will beco a powder keg for his rule over Yi Province if Liu Zhang doesn’t change, and Zhao Wei and Wang Shang realize this so they need to co up with sothing to address this problem.
While the land was still processing the news of Liu Zhang’s ascension as the Governor of Yi Province, a letter arrived at Xiapi where it ca from Yang Hong & Yan Jun who inford Lie Fan that the settlent of Taipei was ready to be settled by commoners and the Nobilities.
There was also another piece of letter informing Lie Fan about the Tono Tribe and how they had established communications, and also slowly integrated them into their way of life after going through several skirmishes.
The content of the letter was then disclosed by Lie Fan to all of his advisors and Jiang Qin after calling them for an ergency eting because they would also need to decide the matter of the second expedition which would bring people from all kinds of classes.
Lie Fan: “It looks like last year and this year were a great year for us, everything is going well and now our settlent in Taiwan is ready to be populated!
Xun You since you were the one who handled the secret port at Huai’An, what do you think is the best ti for us to send the people who have applied and now waiting for a new life in Taiwan?” Xun You: “My Lord I think it sooner the better, the weather is in good condition now and everything has been prepared it just needs an order to be executed, Admiral Jiang Qin what do you think?
You are the one who will lead this fleet with the additional transport ships.” Jiang Qin: “Just like Master Xun You had just said, The weather is in good condition which will allow a good voyage toward Taiwan, and if My Lord wants it to be started right away, I will head toward Huai’An and prepare the fleet for our voyage.” Lie Fan: “Marvelous!
Since everything is ready and has been prepared, I want the expedition to start as soon as possible, since the ones who applied were the people of Xu Province, Jia Xu I want the Orioles to raise its security level and keep an eye on the people who will board the ship.” Jia Xu: “Yes My Lord, I will also order the Orioles to follow the hordes of people that will travel from each Town and village as it was the vulnerable point for spies to infiltrate.” Lie Fan: “Good, next Yi Ji write this order!
Ji Ling and Gao Shun will lead a contingent of n to patrol the area around Huai’An, Chao Bao and Chao Bai patrol the northern Xu Province, while Hou Cheng, Song Xian, and Wei Xu patrol the western part, and lastly Cheng Lian and Cao Xing patrol the southern part.” Yi Ji: “Yes My Lord, at what ti should they head out, and how many n should they take My Lord?” Lie Fan: “Each of them takes 5,000 n and leaves for their assigned area as soon as possible, I want the area to be safe from bandits, thugs, and criminals so the people can go safely toward Huai’An.” After Lie Fan’s announcent, Yi Ji cupped his hand and headed out from the hall heading toward his office to begin writing the order letters.
Since Lie Fan feels that everything is perfect and in place, Lie Fan notified everyone to not let this matter hinder Xiapi’s Expansion Project before dismissing the eting.
So Lie Fan’s Force after winning its war against Liu Yao and then taking control of two counties in Qing Province and absorbing the entirety of Lu Bu’s Force, its dostic engine began to start once again indicating they were entering a peace period.
With the preparation for Taiwan’s second expedition and the Xiapi expansion project, Lie Fan sank in with many tasks causing Him to not return ho and making him can’t spend ti with his family.
So Ying Yue, Diao Chan, or Cai Wenji took turns alongside their kids bringing him lunch while also at the sa ti spending ti with him and informing him of news happening at ho while Lie Fan can play with his kids.
They inford him about how Wannian had begun training in martial arts under Lu Lingqi, so they told Lie Fan to expect Lu Lingqi to visit him in case he stayed at the Governor’s Castle too late, and that Sima Yi was always looking for him and when he returned late it’s already not an appropriate ti for him to et Lie Fan.
Lie Fan nodded his head every ti they inford him about all of this while playing with his kids, and told them every single ti that he would handle that after finishing everything here as he wanted to elevate Xun You and Jia Xu’s work for Xiapi’s Expansion Project while they handled the Expedition matter.
While Lie Fan enjoys spending ti with his family every day at lunchti, his retainers are busy handling both projects, since the expedition matter was a short ti-consuming project they handled this first while at the sa ti not abandoning Xiapi’s Expansion Project.
After the eting ended, Xun You began to coordinate all matters concerning the settlers while Jia Xu began to direct the Orioles stationed at Xu Province at full capacity, and Jiang Qin left for Huai’An secret port to prepare the fleet.
As, for Yi Ji he finished writing the order letters that were sent to the people who were appointed by Lie Fan, so Xiapi’s populace saw Lie Fan’s Generals leading 10,000 toward each direction of North, South, East, and West.
Flyers were also soon spread by Cai Yong to announce that the long awaited expedition to Taiwan had started and that anyone who had applied either individually or with their families, to report to the nearest governnt offices with their application proof and to head out to Huai’An.
So thanks to this, Xu Province saw a flock of people of all castes from all towns and villages making lines heading straight toward Huai’An, this, of course, attracted the attention of bandits, thugs, and criminals who slled blood.
But thanks to Lie Fan already anticipated that and sent out Ji Ling, Gao Shun, Chao Bao, Chao Bai, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu, Cheng Lian, and Cao Xing with 5,000 n under each of his generals, he managed to minimize it and even purged many bandits camp and turning them into labor force for the Expansion Project.
When the people arrived at Huai’An, Sima Lang the Prefect of Huai’An welcod them and prepared accommodations for the settlers who would leave for Taiwan outside of Huai’An where many encampnts had been made, in which commoners stayed there.
As for Nobles and rchants, they rented rooms in Inns inside Huai’An.
Of course, small rchants who can’t afford to stay in the inns due to the inflation of prices thanks to the sudden heavy traffic, choose to stay at the encampnt outside.
At the secret port, Jiang Qin directed his fleet that docked here after the battle at the Yangtze River to join up with the new ships here, to sail toward Huai’An and anchor there so they could begin to let settlers board the ships.
Of course, Jiang Qin coordinated all of this with Sima Lang when he docked at Huai’An with his Treasure Ship, Sima Lang inford him that not all of the applicants had arrived so they needed to wait before they could let people on board, Jiang Qin agrees with him as he didn’t want people to get seasick while waiting for others to co on board, and so they waited for all applicants to arrived for several weeks before they let everyone co onboard the ships.
