In fact, in the Jieya Hall of Liangzhou/Xingyuan Mansion (now east of Nanzheng County, Shaanxi), before the wall inscription "Shannan West Road Jiedu Shiting" by the former great poet Liu Yuxi.
After hearing the news that the fire broke the banquet singing and dancing, the inspector of the military department Shangshu, Xingyuan Yin, and Shan (South) West (Dao) Jiedu Envoy Niu Xuan broke and smashed several gold inlaid cups one after another. ; And I can't wait to personally hold the black wooden clip with the emergency report to the Feiyue landscape and smash it on the heads of the two culprits of the light-start war.
He is different from the other ambitions of this dynasty who want to make meritorious deeds or serve the country and kill thieves; as a descendant of Niu Sengru, the prime minister of Zhenyuan, he was also born as a contemporary big businessman in Dongshi; It was because of his wealth and debts that he sought this position.
After all, Tian Lingzi Ming ordered Wufang children to openly seize the resources of merchants and wealthy families in Beijing, and Jing Zhaoyin directly killed him after he dared to sue the victim; although he was able to get rid of him because he had a different way in Da Nei and he was a member of the Shence Army. Avoid, but also had to start to find a way to avoid disaster.
Moreover, because he had the most money to buy officials at the beginning, among the three Yang Shili, Niu Xie and Luo Yuangao, the first richest man of Xichuan Jiedu was the first choice. As a result, when Tian Lingzi worshipped before the emperor, he came up with it. After winning a polo to set Sanchuan, his eldest brother Chen Jingxuan directly took the town of Xichuan.
Then, the Jiedushi Dongchuan, who took second place, was also taken away by Yang Shili, a cronie who was born in the Forbidden Army and was better at polo (closer relationship); in the end he only got the end of the Sanchuan, only Xingyuan Mansion ( Hanzhong Basin) is still considered a prosperous Shanxi Jiedushi.
As for Luo Yuangao, who was even more unlucky, there was only one Heyang Jiedu envoy who was small and small, and came to comfort him. As a result, he was expelled and replaced by another armed Zhuge Shuang not long after he took office. , Only gave a compensatory general title.
Therefore, most of the time, he actually considers not to establish a meritorious lintel, but to serve the benefactor Tian Dagui and the emperor of Datang. Fortunately, he has worked in Shanxi for a few more years without incident, and by the way, he can make more money. One point is one point.
Therefore, in addition to taxation issues, taking force to pay attention to it is always the last choice for him to achieve his goals. Regarding the military situation in Daoben Town, Shanxi, it is also an act of maintaining the current situation rather than managing armor, training, and preparing for war.
Anyway, at Dasanguan, there is the imperial army led by Shumi Yang to stand in the way of the thieves, so naturally they can't cut off their regular food and clothing; and the nobleman Tianda and walk in front of the emperor must be careful to maintain and advance. The rest is the benefit of his pocket.
Of course, as a dental soldier who is closely related to safety, he should also be well enthralled; the remaining soldiers and horses are still idle anyway. If support is needed in the front, even if they are dispatched, they are also allocated when needed. Anyway, he is very good at both ends.
Even his shogunate and his subordinates are typical debt-management shogunates. Except for a few who are in key positions, most positions are clearly marked, and the old man is not deceived, only "fortune" is the purpose, and set off in Chang'an. Good results have been selected before saving people;
After arriving in the locality, he also re-established the ranks of the governors and officials in Shanxi provinces through investigations and reports on the basis of "financial", and collected a large sum of money as a good start for the inauguration.
For example, Gao Shouzhen, the Yangzhou provincial governor who was born in the famous Bohai high school, handed over 8,000 money to pass the corresponding renewal performance appraisal; and Guo Chongyuan was from the Nanyang house of the famous Guo family, and the old dynasty was in the middle of the country. This is what I said, so it took more than 5,000 yuan to win the (rich) important position in the guard of the Ziwu Valley.
But I didn’t expect that these two bastards would be stunned because of their selfishness. They took the initiative to send Zhou Bao, the veteran of the state and the governor of the country, Zhenhai Jiedu, and Liu Jurong, the Shannan Eastern Road Jiedu, to defeat the giants of thieves who fled after losing their teachers. Kou, the Taiping thief, was attracted to his own territory.
What’s a joke? It’s different from those who have always been stuck in the news, or who do not believe in the news related to the thieves; he has paid close attention to the anti-thief who has swept across the two capitals and various important figures. News.
Therefore, out of a certain interest consideration, he has also sent spies to Hunan and Lingnan where the Taiping thieves are entrenched many times. Although most of them are not safe to return, they only rely on the return of some news. I can get a glimpse of it.
These peaceful thieves are different from the majority of thieves who walked all the way and eat all the way regardless of the future. These thieves are different from those of the imperial courts in the past; this generation lays down a place and then takes a place, and then earnestly manages and governs.
Although this generation's treatment of those noble families, big households, and surnames is cruel and cruel, but it is another tolerant and friendly attitude toward businessmen who can exchange money. Especially those merchants who can bring local unproduced or rarely produced goods are more likely to get preferential treatment.
Therefore, even if Niu Xie was one of the few officials of Fangzhen in the imperial court, he could not help but secretly betray the nature of the businessman, and sent someone to secretly lead to the idea. In fact, he has already sent people to contact several companies, and he has been in the East City in the past, and he has inquired about the most popular businesses and properties under the rule of the Taiping thief.
In the future, it would be even more beautiful if special stores and seafood shops could be established in occupied areas such as Guangzhou. However, all this was ruined by two self-proclaimed bastards in Yangzhou.
Others may still be in awe and respect for the forty-seven thousand registered troops under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Road in 15 states, but Niu Xie knows what the situation is like under his command. After the father and son Niu Wei and Niu Cong of the former prime minister's lineage and Wenren background, whether there are still half of the towns in Shanxi today is a question.
In addition, when Shengjia passed by Xingyuan, he sent several battalions of soldiers and horses that would never be returned again when he was sent to the escorts and escorts, and the five thousand soldiers and horses sent to Dasanguan to support thieves. Now he is in his own town. There are less than ten thousand usable soldiers left.
After that, he must be obeyed by Duke Tian to guard and guard the Hanzhong gates to prevent the second Yang from suddenly leading troops to the south; then he must send troops to collect all places and protect and escort the money and grain to Dasanguan and Chengdu. Bong, it can be said that the task is heavy and the road is long and exhausted.
However, in order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and the provincial inspection cost meter, after he arrived in office, in addition to strengthening the dental soldiers, there has been no new recruits to make up the corresponding military quota, and the defense of each state is given to the subordinates of the state. Group training, Tu Tuan, Zhenshu belongs to.
As long as they can make the corresponding donations, there are few restrictions and restrictions. Now, it is time for him to taste the corresponding bitter fruit. However, how can Niu Xie be willing to sit still and wait for death.
After venting a word, he immediately summoned his subordinates and announced that they would recruit 10,000 young men in Liangzhou to prepare for the invasion and military service. He also separately found Sima, a military battalion in the shogunate who was well versed in military geography, and carefully checked Yangzhou The map to Liangzhou.
In the end, it was determined that there are many mountains such as Shangxingshi, Yunting, and customs clearance as barriers, but only a few river valleys such as Yangshui that run through them, and the connected cities such as Zhenfu, Xixiang, and Xindao are the control blocks. Hub, this is how to settle down.
Then he dispatched two messengers intensively, all the way along the Golden Bull Road to Chengdu, Shuzhong to report letters and warnings, and at the same time, it was considered to have expressed his views on the way.
On the other road, Chen Changdao rushed across the mountains and ridges to the front line of Dasanguan, asking for help from the secret secretary of Dayang, to see if he could send the Shanxi soldiers back. After all, he used the army to maintain the transportation of the Shu area. It is also effective.
When necessary, it can also be used as a bargaining chip to ask for cooperation from Chengdu, which cannot be easily put into use. Despite this, he was still a little uneasy secretly, and he called in his trusted old family, and assigned him an important task that could be a life of nine deaths.
While Niu Xie was giving orders, the day after he ordered the entire Xingyuan Mansion into action, he received another unexpected news. The Jingnan Jiedu from the Xiajiang Road led Song Hao with thousands of remnants to reach the territory of Jizhou under his rule.
Niu Xie with a worried face couldn't help being excited when he heard the news, and said to the happy colors of the left and the right:
"It's a good time, this is really a timely rain from the sky... It can make it go to Yangzhou and (Nan) Tongzhou to eat and cry..."
—I am the dividing line —
In Xiangzhou, Zhou Huai'an, who had just completed several demonstration collective labors and embarked on a parade again; also received a message from the pass from the north, and couldn't help but smile at Yang Shigu who was beside him. :
"According to the news from the northern border, King Huang intends to start the imperial examination in the two capitals and send corresponding military guards to the army... I'm afraid we won't be left here in the future..."
"This matter came too late, and missed the best opportunity..."
However, Yang Shigu just shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"If it was the beginning of the new dynasty, we decided to open the imperial examinations and select talents, it would be inspiring, and it would also show the unrestrained atmosphere and talents; They are all waiting and looking forward to it."
"To do this now, not only the corresponding talents and good selections are already greatly lacking, but it is also involved in the affairs of the supervising army messenger. But it is just a rush to give people the rush to meet the needs of the time. It is really a loss. It’s about the pattern and the sense of measure..."
Zhou Huai'an nodded secretly in his heart with a little satisfaction. This former right army division of the Rebel Army, after getting out of the old pattern and constraints; still able to judge things relatively objectively and in a fair manner, and gain insight into some key points and details. .
"What's more, among the rebels, there are still close relatives, and each of the leaders and generals have their own old and old origins. There are also many old and new dynasty towns and local elections. Most of the orders are not enough. So, let’s talk about sending messengers to visit..."
Yang Shigu continued to speak again.
"Then how do you think this matter should be done..."
Zhou Huaian asked meaningfully.
"In my opinion, the so-called supervising army messenger can only be slowed down and not urgently. Only close and faintly follow to gather momentum, not to promote it with great fanfare; in the meantime, if there is any Violation and confrontation, no matter how rewards and punishments are afterwards, are damages to the authority of his own body... The King Huang is afraid that this matter will be a little too big..."
At this point, Yang Shigu's words turned away.
"It’s the current system of dispatching officials in the Metropolitan Government. It makes sense. The students of the training center are organized into the team, and they eat and stay with the soldiers, and the generals assist in the management of documents and conduct. Be contented with prestige and closeness..."
"Lao Yang, I want to rely on your judgment, not for turning around to praise myself... Then you think Zhao Shizhong specially sent someone to send this news, and why do you care about it..."
Zhou Huaian smiled immediately.
"According to some of my poor opinions in the past, I am afraid that due to the disadvantages of the war ahead, King Huang intends to rectify the army and choose people to stand up..."
Yang Shigu gave an unexpected answer.
At this time, Mi Bao, who was riding a horse along the road, sent in Zhou Huaian a message that was enough to make him change his itinerary. (End of this chapter)
