In the spring of Chang'an City, it is the time when peaches and plums are fragrant, willow buds are blooming, and Yang Xu is soaring;
It's just the Jinwu children and bad people who are frequently patrolled in the market, and no matter how much they freeze to death or starve to death at night, they still appear as tenacious as weeds, and the hungry and poor households with unkempt skin under the eaves of the house. ; How much makes this imperial capital of the best place in the world, how much is covered with a layer of depression, depression and atmosphere.
In the Dacien Temple, Qujiang, Furong Garden, Longshouyuan, and other places of historic spring parades, such as the places where people like weaving, the Xiaoshu and cold scene are the main keynotes.
As for the original picturesque gardens and villas scattered along the Weishui River on the outskirts of the city and on the dam, they are filled with many servants, slaves and tribes who hold swords and sticks, and also carry gongs and castanets; because they are just a little far away in Gyeonggi Province. The place where murder and robbery occurred in broad daylight.
Even those patrolling Neizhou regiments and hunting army officers can chop off a group of people every three to five to prove that "the thieves are already overwhelmed." However, there are still corpses that were killed and stripped during the day. , Appeared in endlessly near official roads and straight roads.
As the most powerful figure in the center of the Tang Dynasty, the grand father Tian Lingzi's out-of-house residence is located in a garden that occupies almost a small half of the area in Gwanghuafang, but it has not played for many days. " This kind of weather vane is different from the usual, inevitably, people of all kinds of people in and above the mansion are thinking about it, and they dare not show the cautious atmosphere of daily behavior.
However, beside the Huanyue Pool in the hinterland of the garden, there is a jewel-filled Chonghua Pavilion.
Tian Lingzi, the five short and somewhat earthy privy envoy and lieutenant lieutenant, sat with Douluyuan, the burly, elegant but somewhat fierce prime minister. It's just that their expressions and expressions turned upside down. The cautious Dou Lu Yuan is in sharp contrast with the graceful and leisurely Tian Lingzi.
As the prime ministers in the central political affairs hall of the foreign dynasty, they also represent different factions in the foreign dynasty. It is different from Zheng Zhi, who was born in the family of the five surnames and seven hopes of the Shandong clan, or the old-school bureaucrat Yuan Shu who was born in the imperial examination by Lu Xie-style;
The Doulu clan was the other branch of the Yan Murong clan after the Northern Dynasties, and was considered one of the last descendants of the Daibei noble system. Because of the struggle with the traditional Shandong gentry when the country was founded, it was able to be an official to a minister and was named one of the prime ministers' lineage. As for Douluyuan himself, he represented a group of people from the court of Men Yin and Ziwang.
Therefore, the dynasties have been inherited from generation to generation, and they have formed the eunuchs who are close to the word Tian. There are competitions, natural alliances and pro-attachment relationships; and the eunuchs have been established exclusively since Qianyuan and Dali. The emperor is inside, and the prime minister is overwhelmed by Sonane. These selected servants are not vassals and minions of the servants who dominate the Ouchi, or they are forced to leave or migrate to other places.
It's like Yang Fuguang, one of the "two sheep in the big house" who used to fight against his father, but the existence of Guandong, a town known as the eighteenth false son; as a minister, if the eunuch inside is an Austrian aid, there is nothing outside. If the Fan Zhen responds, it is basically not to want to complete oneself and let it alone, or even a relatively decent confession to the elderly.
Therefore, Douluyuan was also known for his respect and respect and unsmiling even in the court, but in front of the father Tian, who was like a farmer, he couldn't hold any shelf or dignity at all. Even if the other party looked indecently in front of him and feasted, he seemed to feel like a spring breeze.
In the jade plate that is as clear as frost and snow, there are several colors of fruit that have been cut from other places such as tangerines, tangerines, ringo, and sand fruits that have been freshly pickled with ingredients. And it wasn't until the full sleeves and the case were full of juice that Tian Lingzi was a little satisfied to stop, and said slowly to Douluyuan.
"Zheng Cao can also be used for one or two. This is a rare season that Dongchuan 800 li hastily sent. Now the southeast is only for thieves and the outside of the mountain is cut off, there is still this way to go to the capital, Bide In the past, it was exclusively for Lingnan Lily..."
"Tian Gong said and laughed..."
Doulu smiled decently and without embarrassment.
"I'm not joking. Those people always say that I only pay for myself because of the people and money, and they have repeatedly said that I am rude and rude in front of the emperor..."
Tian Lingzi said with stubby fingers.
"But I have never been considerate. This is a kindness that everyone thinks of me as being too old; I see that the time left is running out, and other eyes have nothing to ask for, so there is nothing left. The fruit food is all right. As the saying goes, if you can eat it for a day, even if it is a day..."
Douluyuan smiled slightly without saying a word, but he said in his heart, but anyone who thought you were old and deceived in the past, I am afraid that the bones will be broken when buried in the soil.
"Back then, we were born in a poor family. We only used the sour fruits of the mountains to eat... Only after being sold into the palace did I taste the meat for the first time... All these years have passed. I’ve used them all, so I’m going to get rid of the problem of liking fruit but not eating enough..."
"This is the secret letter and manuscript sent by Zhenhai Zhou (Bao) Zhengrong on the way to the sea..."
After a lot of rumors, Tian Lingzi pointed to something on a silver plate next to him, and said straight to the point.
"Acting that someone secretly communicated with the thief, and used it to be self-favoring... Seeing that Lu Zisheng has no time to take care of himself, I just want to discuss with you..."
"Dare to ask, what do you want from Duke Tian..."
Douluyuan's eyes flashed and his heart moved.
In the courtyard across the street, where courtiers can visit and rest, and the vocal music in the garden can be clearly heard, there are also many officials with scarlet crests who are also discussing and talking in private. Because in a sense, this is also one of the most well-informed places in Chang'an.
"Are you also here to pray for fraternity..."
"I beg for a quasi-trust, just feel at ease... but I have heard of it..."
"The southeast confession and water supply have been cut off for several months. The emperor went to hunt in Beiyuan, but Gongtai Province couldn't even get the routine rewards of Neiku. In the end, the father paid his own money to deal with the past. ..."
"Is this Gao Bohai really unbearable? It is also known as a pillar in the south, the wall of the country; it is just like this. Not only did it fail to recover the southeast canal, but on the contrary, the thief was powerless and would only retreat and defend itself... He also said that the sick would not send troops,"
"Do you know what he said in his recent melodrama, "The Yellow Chao thief gathers more than sixty thousand people to gather in the sky, less than fifty miles from our city." It is also said that the soldiers and horses in the army are damaged and can be used to rely on it..."
"Nowadays, I am even more old and ill-fated, unable to lead the fight against thieves; now I can only protect one party and dare not be expert; in other places, the court is also asked to order localities and soldiers to strengthen their guard and fight hard to resist..."
"It is said that when he persuaded the court to retreat from various soldiers and horses, how could he not be so'humbly and courteous'?"
"What about the government's all-time support? How should the food and salaries of the officials, the clothing and food and clothing money of the army in the Guan, and the routine appropriations and rewards of the guards of the towns, and how should they be settled..."
"It's nothing more than a means of increasing income and reducing expenditure. In the Dazhong and Xiantong years, it is not the old thing that the Holy Lord took the lead in reducing expenses and the hundred officials reduced the cost of the thieves... As for the open source..."
"Could it be that Daxiang Lu intends to follow the example of Naizu and open "Southern Suburbs"..."
"What's the "Southern Suburbs"? After passing through the handwriting of Da A's father, now in the middle of Beijing, there are diner shops, quality shops, cash cabinets, warehouses, transfer houses, and merchants in the east and west markets. How many are there? Can you continue to search for the missing fish."
"I heard that it is the intention to ask the Holy Lord to reopen the oblique seal of the emperor's story, to allow the soldiers and civilians of the world to send millet to serve the country, and to grant corresponding ranks, honours, and ministries according to their size..."
"Also, all those who are transferred to new positions in Beijing, or those who lay off official positions, need to lose money and repay their results by virtue of rank and ministry..."
"This, this, isn't this the reason why Xiyuan, the lord of Hengling, sells officials... Lu Zisheng is too indifferent. Is this because he has to panic in order to keep his position..."
"Don't you know, Dongdu..."
At this time, there was a servant who ran to and fro between the hall officials, touched the door and walked in, and spoke a few words to one of them in a low voice. Then I saw this courtier with mountain beard and silkworm eyebrows, and he could not help but announce loudly to the left and right:
"Father Dao has already moved the Holy Lord, and Doulu Xianggong, who is on duty at the Zhengshi Hall, has issued a post, summoning Zheng Liushou and Cui Branch to prepare for the ex-junior's ruling and thief strategy..."
"Ji Shixianggong and Cui Bodhisattva (killing) are coming back?"
Everyone couldn't help but coveted each other, but they saw on their faces such as gloating, feeling lost, panicked; or they were still expecting, uplifting, and even complex expressions on their faces.
. . . . . . . . . .
"Huang Wang hopes to hold the wedding as soon as possible, thinking that it will inspire people and strengthen the pledge..."
In the city of Jiangning, Zhou Huaian, who was receiving and reorganizing a wave of defeated rebels, suddenly received similar news and felt a little surprised and stunned; he immediately ordered.
"Contact competent personnel and insiders, don't begrudge Jinbo and benefits, find a way to inquire as much as possible on the Xuanzhou Military Mansion..."
Then, in addition to accidents and speculation, he suddenly had an idea that was not groundless.
"Maybe it's time to think about going back..."
Because he suddenly had some aftertastes and reflections on what he had done during this period of time. My original intention was to promote and facilitate the northern expedition of the main force of the rebels, and to make arrangements and plans for the corresponding situation. But in this mountain, I can't help but blind my eyes. I am stuck in it, and I can't get out of it. I have been here for a long time.
Although there is support for the convenience of land and water transportation from Jiangling, it is a bit far from the site where Guangzhou is located; even through the nearest route: Shaozhou, Qianzhou, Fuzhou, Raozhou, and Xuanzhou. The news, I am afraid there is no distance of seven or eight hundred miles.
And there are quite a lot of them, which are in dangerous areas occupied by soil groups or remnants of officers and soldiers, and cannot provide stable transportation channels at all. As for the Yangtze River that passes through Jiangling, it turns to Yue, Tan, Heng, Chen, and Lian, and finally crosses the Qitian Ridge, one of the five ridges, to reach the outside of the ridge, which requires a large circle of thousands of miles.
The corresponding consumption of civil, material and other resources can be said to be increasing day by day, while the direct or indirect gains are gradually declining; after all, the purchasing power and the stock of spoils from the rebels are ultimately capped rather than sourced. Endless.
Although Lingdong is located in the Pearl River Basin and Chaoshan Plain, it can still be maintained and supported from the book numbers for several years of combat needs; but it must take into account future disasters and other emergency means of emergency. It is not possible to reserve for consumption below the dangerous waterline.
During this battle, the Lingxi states that were undergoing follow-up reconstruction work experienced several riots again due to the intensification of conflicts with the local barbarians and tycoons; even a newly established village was destroyed and burned. It's just that they have been suppressed by support from Guangzhou.
In Hunan, apart from the key rushes and large and small cities and ponds that are controlled along the land and water, there are still many uncleaned soil masses and mountain barbs, and even the remnants of bandits and bandits, who are maintaining sporadic activities or temporarily hiding. It is necessary to further invest in additional strength, and at the same time establish more garrisons and management areas to divide and block off the scope of its activities and hiding areas.
Although the officers and soldiers from the north were agitated by the harassment within the territory, once they got the support of the court determined to spare no effort, they still had to face and face the threat.
As for the local forces occupying several states in western Hunan, although they are currently seeking outsiders due to mutual restraint, they are showing good and mutual connections to Jiangling, but once the situation changes or sees enough If you are interested, you are not sure what actions and behaviors they will take.
Therefore, Jiangling, the bridgehead to the north and the core area of the forward base, is not necessarily safe and foolproof; but even if you want to make excuses for the class teacher, you can’t just walk away.
The bad reputation and reputation of the people behind the alliance is still the second place. The key is that the advantages and advantages accumulated by the rebels in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River since the previous stage cannot be given up in vain. In other words, to promote and catalyze the situation to the present level, the Taiping Army is no longer so easy to pull hands and stay out of the matter.
Even if it wants to return in the future, at least the active forces of the official army and local armed forces must be defeated or pained to get a window period of calmly arranged transfer, and sufficient deterrence from reputation.
This requires abandoning the original plan and plan to follow the trend of the rebel army, and only occasionally play a role in the key points, and at other times make a big fortune; adopt a more proactive strategic plan in the short term. And a breakthrough on the tactical level. (End of this chapter)
