In the Xichuan Festival, which is more handsome than the others, in Guanyuan,
"This Yang Tuozi! An dare to be so shameless..."
Admiral Zuo Jinwuwei, who has always been kind-eyed and short in stature, also sentenced Siweishi, Jin Guogong, known as the "big father" Tian Lingzi, and also blazed his fire on his brother Nishikawa Jiedushi Chen Jingxuan.
"As long as the miscellaneous family can fix his banner with polo, can't he regain it again... Hurry up and change clothes with me, and go to meet the Holy Lord."
"Then let people pass the letter to the fifth son (Dongchuan Supervisory Military Academy Shi Tianhui) to ascertain the inside story, and order him to dispatch the soldiers of his hospital as soon as possible, and delay the corresponding confession and advance the confession which is difficult for the thief. , Let’s talk about escorting the Lutou Pass."
Then he turned his head to face Chen Jingxuan who was the only one
"If you pass the book to Gao Renhou, who is the Bazhong Ping thief, then it's time to tell him to take good care of him..."
"The sacred crossbowmen and Chengdu generals in the Xichuan Army were not sent to him for nothing..."
Of course, another important reason for Tian Lingzi's bad mood is that the process of rebuilding the new army of Shence has not made much progress. Up to now, the soldiers and horses of the five capitals have been prepared, and most of the money, food, ordnance rewards are allocated from the Xichuan Festival.
This also greatly reduced his sense of security. In particular, most of the Shence army in Beijing nowadays are filled with officials, wealthy households, and merchants and children, and they are rotten and useless. The Zuo Shence camp in the Zhenfangguan Pass has been completely lost, and the You Shence camp is the "Zheng Jiazi" (Zheng畋) under the control of the situation.
And the nobles who do not have the divine strategy army/banned soldiers are available. The so-called sole responsibility for the power of the world and the power of the big house are just like Li Fuguo, Yu Chaoen, and Cheng Yuanzhen who have power in the early years. As long as the emperor replaces the one in the room Paper edict, an unknown assassin can easily take everything away.
Therefore, the newly rebuilt Shence army in his expectation must have at least fifty-four capitals (thousands) from the left, middle and right; but with such a large number of troops, in addition to arranging the army and the generals belonging to the town, it is also It is necessary to gather the three rivers of Jiannan, and even the wealth of the various Taoists dedicated to walking, to edit and maintain.
However, the various roads in the south (Lingnan, Hunan, Jingnan, and Shannan) have long been cut off because of the troubles of the Taiping thief. The wealth of wealth in the southeast of Jiangdong, Zhejiang and Huainan is also because of the old man who turned his face against people. It’s not possible to convey to the line.
During the period when Kannai and Kanto were trapped by thieves or rebelled against the town, there is no news about the mountains and rivers in the world, and the Hedong Road on the shoulders of the world. It is better to rely solely on the Qianzhong Road, where the remote people are poor, and the northwestern roads where the output is not abundant, is better than nothing;
Therefore, today the main source of preparations still has to fall on the Sanchuan of Jiannan, known as the land of abundance; however, his brother Chen Jingxuan has exhausted all his appointments on the Xichuan Road, and the place has become violent.
The previous mutiny of Guo Qi by the Huangtou Army in Xichuan Town, and later the Qianneng Rebellion in Qiongzhou (now Qionglai, Sichuan) almost spread to the vicinity. Immediately there were Luo Hunqing, Juhu Seng, and Luo Fuzi from Shu, and Han Qiu responded to chaos in Yazhou and Shuzhou one after another.
As a result, Yang Xingqian, the tooth general sent by Chen Jingxuan to pacify, was a trash who would only encounter the enemy’s stagnation and kill good works; the people's uprising made him more and more controversial and spread all the way along the river to the Gorge River.
After such a tossing, the small Banzhou and counties within Xichuan Town’s governance are already in ruins, and the remaining states and counties are also suffering from heavy taxes and poor; although there is Gao Renhou to re-appease most of the thieves. Come down, and don’t set up a town to be supervised.
But before Gao Renhou went south, he also made his remarks very clear. At least in the short term, he would have to raise taxes for them if he went wrong. It would only be a matter of time for him to re-emerge and cause chaos.
However, if he wants to let the emperor continue to play with peace of mind, and continue to do everything in his hands, he must maintain a decent and basic prosperity inside and outside Chengdu that is relatively peaceful and happy; for this reason, he has not only stepped up to relocate wealthy households and giant houses from various places to Chengdu. In addition, there must be some restraint in taxation and miscellaneous contributions.
Therefore, it is only in the other towns of Dongchuan and Shan (south) and Xi (dao) to share and accept the corresponding share of the confession and contribution. Shanxi's Niu Xie is fortunate. He was originally born as a big merchant in the West Market, and he will also operate and Luo Kuo while he is in office, and keep his advancement constantly increasing.
In contrast, three generations of Yang Shili, who were all low-ranking generals of the Forbidden Army, seemed to be a little less proactive, knowledgeable, and current affairs. In recent times, he was actually asked to go directly to the book for reminders and inquiries, and he was only willing to allocate and dispatch to the corresponding Ziyong as scheduled.
I don’t know, Yang Shili’s Dongchuan Township is no better than the Shanxi Township. As a barrier to the north of Shu, it not only has the task of preparing for thieves, but also supports and supports the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers who are defending the enemy at Dasanguan. And Dongchuan Town, which is located in the hinterland of Sanchuan, is the most peaceful, and it has to complain secretly for the mere acceptance.
You know, for this new army that can be used next to him, Tian Lingzi has worked hard regardless of the cost. Even his private savings and the filial piety under his name have been subsidized and invested; he even secretly misappropriated part of the support. Inventory in the line of advancement.
And in some places where it is not critical, gilt copper and iron utensils were used to replace the original gold and silver utensils; relatively thin and cheap Jinglang and Chu gauze were used to replace the Shu brocade and Wu Cai of the same color; and Hongzhou porcelain from Changsha was used to replace the original gold and silver utensils. The more valuable Xing Bai and Yue Qing.
Then they sent people to intercept most of the benefits of reciprocating with the Nanzhao Zhumanbian city to the west of Qingxi Pass, and sell some of the intercepted internal costs and artifacts here. . There are many such methods.
But how can the world not understand and cooperate with him well. You know, now there are people who are walking in the court clamoring and saying that they want to call back the secret envoy of Principal Yang. Could it be that I have been too soft-hearted recently and haven't killed the court officials and neighbors
All he wanted was the loyal and martial-arts Batu men and women under his command, but he didn't want the two Yang brothers, which would only be a bad thing and a hindrance. It's a pity that the opponent who slips and doesn't keep his hands can't find the fault, and the other keeps the army's attention tightly not to outsiders.
He sat on the chartered lift and thought, until he arrived outside the Floating Light Hall where the Emperor was staying, then stopped and walked up the steps. He had already changed a solemn and reserved expression, and said indifferently to the on-duty confidant who came up to hear the news.
"Everyone got up and called..."
"If you go back to the Grand Duke, you all had a night of playing pu (gambling equipment) with your new partner last night, and then lay down when the sky turned white. I'm afraid I will have to wait for a while... Last sound..."
On duty, the eunuch even talks.
"Then I'll wait a little longer... There is no need to disturb everyone's sleep. Let me bring me a cold drink first."
Tian Lingzi waved his hand.
However, when a cup of drink came up, he felt that it was a bit wrong in his mouth; judging by the level of his personal taste of various diets in Chang'an, he has already lacked several flavored ingredients, even the finest stone honey. It was also replaced by brown sugar.
Tian Lingzi couldn't help but curse in his heart, these unconscious monkey cubs. I just let people save some non-essential materials and supplies other than the holy master at their discretion; these dog things dare to cut corners on the things that treat guests, and they can’t do a good job of rectifying them when they look back.
Fortunately, he held this cup of drink in his hand, and before pretending to take a few sips, a golden purple curtain representing that the Holy Lord had risen was lifted inside, and the smell of newly burnt incense came out.
Tian Lingzi's uncertain expression also switched seamlessly into a respectful and kind face in that instant, and slowly leaned back into the hall; facing the palace attendants, washing and dressing, it was difficult to conceal the green. The emperor of Tang, with deep eye circles on his white face, said in a voice full of admiration and consideration:
"Dare to ask everyone if you are still resting..."
"Well, how can it be bad..."
The emperor with a strong nasal sound waved his arms weakly.
"It's the bead jumping and beast chess that my father gave me, which makes people want to stop. But I finally managed to lose all of them, but the day was even louder... "
"Then Ye Han Dew is deep now, so please take care of yourself."
Just as Tian Lingzi tried to guide the topic and went up to things in Dongchuan, he walked in the side door of the back garden.
As Prime Minister Cui Anqian in the town of Xichuan, the old ministry led by Yuhou Li Ting, who patrolled here in Xichuan’s camp; also watched the door filed out with expressionless expression, but he was wearing the internal officer’s Jia Fei robe and shirt. A dry figure with a mustache.
Soon after, an edict on the relocation of Sikong and Dongchuan Jiedu, Yang Shili, shot for the left of the school, Tongping Zhangshi, sealed Zhongshan Gong, and was led by Xichuan Jiedu to Chen Jingxuan on behalf of thousands of people in Xichuan. Under the escort of the soldiers, Li Wenjing, the superintendent of the inner sect, headed towards Zizhou (now Santai, Sichuan).
—I am the dividing line —
Shannanxi Road, on Raofengling at the junction of Yangzhou (now Xixiang County, Shaanxi) and Jinzhou (now Ankang City, Shaanxi Province);
The gray-headed and humiliated Yangzhou governor who retreated to this place, and Gao Shouzhen, who was also the defensive agent of the Meridian Dao (yes, it is also the family of the Gao clan of Bohai), is also looking at the dust and smoke in the distant mountains, and facing the Shannanxi Road to the camp. Guo Chongyuan, the guardian of Huanluo Road, sighed.
"Public wanting to avenge private revenge, why does it involve me so far..."
"As I said at the beginning, the Taiping thief is weak in Shannan and cannot take care of the Jinzhou area. As long as the local loyalists respond, you will rescue the patriarch of Nanyang's house with a surprise soldier. I take Jinzhou as a shield... Why is this situation now..."
"It's really the places where the Taiping thieves are poisoning them too much. The local gentry and tyrants greeted them as soon as they saw the banner of the officer."
The awe-inspiring general of Shannanxi Road, who was born and awe-inspiring, Guo Chongyuan, guarding the Taoluo Road, also complained in a muffled voice.
"In the state and city, people are sent to contact me anyway; can I give up such a good trend and ignore it, chilling the minds of these loyal people?"
"I only hate this generation for being too incompetent and mediocre. First of all, it was blocked by gathering people to fight under the small Ankang town, and couldn't make any progress. It delayed the opportunity to respond with the Yangzhou Army before and after;"
"Later, I took advantage of the state and the city, but I couldn't stop the returning thieves' counterattack. Before the local soil groups and volunteer camps gathered, the city gates were broken away as birds and beasts, and everyone was defeated. Now, let alone. It is said that this generation's control and procrastination made my Guo family's blood feud beyond retribution..."
"It's useless to say more. Now Jinzhou can't take it. Fangshanguan and Shiquan counties have gained and lost. On the contrary, it will be tired. Yangzhou's loss of soldiers and soldiers will not be able to defend it... What more face is there to deal with the bullshit? Accountability"
Gao Shouzhen interrupted him.
"It's okay. If Yangzhou can't defend it, both Meridian Road and Zhangluo Road are threatened by thieves. Could the debtor (Niu Xie) envoy be able to stay out of the matter and sit still in Liangzhou? ... "
Guo Chongyuan sneered with hatred instead. (End of this chapter)
