Unexpected family affairs for the victors and losers
Bao Shame is a man.
Jiangdong’s children are so talented,
The comeback is unknown.
"Ti Wujiang Pavilion"
Tang Dynasty: Du Mu
—I am the dividing line —
At the same time as the Jianghuai battle was raging, on the Chengdu Plain in the hinterland of Xichuan, there were also dysentery-like devastations left behind by the raging fire everywhere.
Under the irrigation of the Minjiang River Basin, the land of abundance that used to be "flood and drought depends on people, not knowing hunger", after experiencing the reciprocating tug-of-saw battle between winter and spring, at this time it has also become smoke everywhere, ruined and abandoned villages everywhere Of the world.
Not to mention one of the scenic spots that once surrounded Chengdu—Jinjiang Spring, the corpses floating and stuffed in the river, and other corrupt waste, turned it into an unhealthy muddy color.
However, the besieged barracks surrounding Jinguan City, which is plagued by hunger and injury, have not diminished much;
It is just that among the many flags circled in the sky, in addition to the most common "Dongchuan" and "Gao" flags, there are more flags such as "Shanxi", "Xingyuan", "Zhongwu", and "Yellow Head".
In a sense, they all temporarily abandoned their suspicions and disputes under the emperor's edict, and successively led troops to gather in the territory of Xichuan to discuss the imperial soldiers and horses of the rebellious party Tian Lingzi and Chen Jingxuan.
Therefore, in addition to the Dongchuan Jiedushi who is a half-landlord friendship, and Shangshu Zuopushang, the Prince Young Master, Special Jin, Kaifuyi Tongsansi Gao Renhou, and the main force of the Shu army under his command;
In the hands of brothers Yang Fuguang, the secret envoy of the Left Prisoner, Yang Fuguang and the supervisor of the Tenth Army, Yang Fugong, they were mainly composed of the Huangtou Army of the King Qin from the north and the remnants of the officials and troops in the pass.
And the rest of the four capitals who went out in the changes of the eight capitals of Zhongwu, led by Wang Jian, occupied several lands north of Zizhou, and mastered the small group of former Shanxi Jiedu envoys, who vowed to advance and retreat together;
With the remnants of Jingjun living in Xingyuan, he suddenly launched a trouble. He drove away the Shanxi Jiedu Envoy Niu Xie who had taken him as his host, and Song Hao, the former Jingnan Jiedu Envoy who had left in Shanxi. . . . Wait for the strength of a few parties.
Of course, as the result of the emperor’s personal coordination; after private negotiations, pressure and trade-offs, exchanges of pros and cons, and compromise, they also got what they wanted to some extent.
It goes without saying that Gao Renhou's own promotion and promotion of the ranks of officials and the integration of Sanchuan is needless to say; Song Hao also received the decree and records from Shanxi's post-resignation period, but he would be turned into the Zheng Jie after he defeated the rebellious party.
Wang Jian and others were given the titles of Xingyuan Observation Officer, Jianmen Defense Officer, etc., and they were considered a place to stay; they were no longer in danger of being displaced.
The Yang brothers, who were eunuchs, received the reorganization and reorganization of the guards, as well as the enlistment of the power of the three rivers to disperse the camp, and the corresponding guarantee to welcome the prime minister Zheng Tian to govern.
The biggest loser is undoubtedly the Shanxi "Jia Shuai" Niu Xun who has nothing except for the title of Shang Shu Zuo Pu shot and cannot be guaranteed in time. He is already a party of the Tian Lingzi brothers in Jinguan City.
This is because according to the agreement, no matter who gets the first achievement in breaking the city first, and after taking up the position of the Xichuan Jing Festival, he must provide the other three with a sufficient amount of labor and sacrifice.
However, although everyone has reached a temporary peace and vow in front of the emperor’s envoy; but in reality, when the various people acted, it was inevitable that each other would have a lot of restraints and fears, and there were many small acts of bumping and bumping in private. .
Therefore, this multi-party war of encirclement and suppression of the Nishikawa rebels has been fought from early winter to this spring; after countless (internal) wrangling and (external) seesaws, the scope of Nishikawa’s activities against the party was slowed down. Compressed into this Jinguan City.
During this period, the officers and soldiers who came to assist in the fight and live as a guest have made great efforts to release themselves and display their subjective initiative. Under the strong spirit and fearless style of resolutely not adding more burdens and troubles to the court and the line;
They are always fighting for the enemy's territory repeatedly, or stalking the enemy from the people. It also allows the once rich and prosperous people in the hinterland of the Chengdu Plain to succumb to their blessings and cry all the time.
Just in the continuous spring rains of this kind of withering and killing.
Zhang Jun, who was already the Zuo Shi Lang and Wei Wei Shaoqing of the Ministry of War, also came to the camp of the Dongchuan Army with a certain complex mood, and saw Gao Renhou, whose face became full of cheeks because he had not been trimmed.
Just as an accomplice and ally of the party in the eradication of traitors, Gao Renhou did not have much enthusiasm and kindness towards him. Because this is the one who vowed to make sure to kill Chen Jingxuan soon afterwards; but he failed to stop the secret substitutions that were going on.
Then, he made a private suggestion that when the Dongchuan army was about to press down on Chengdu at all costs; he suggested that people from other towns should be brought in to fight thieves together, in order to prevent people and the population of Xichuan from repeating the same mistakes.
If only this is the case. But later he became more vigorous and said that the Holy Lord changed his position and overturned the promise of Dongchuan who had met with Hirata Chen in private and replaced Dongchuan with Jingjie Nishikawa.
It was also suddenly pointed out in the court meeting that because of the slow progress of the war and the worries of the soldiers and soldiers, Xu Yi took the lead in attacking Chengdu and killed the two thieves of Tianchen and Chen. He was chosen as the Xichuan Jingjie.
Although Gao Renhou admits that he is not a person who is attached to authority, after such repeated disappointments, he will not see and believe him much anymore, but only an official indifferent and alienated one said:
"I don't know what happened to Zhang Zhangbing, who has always believed in the Holy Lord..."
"Since I came from the Holy Master... Congratulations to the envoy..."
However, Zhang Jun smiled disapprovingly and unfolded a volume of jute silk, and said loudly:
"The Holy Master said: Gao Renhou is diligent in the affairs of the king, but he can add the Xichuan camp to recruit and discuss the system, and add a thousand households..."
However, just after reading out a corresponding reward, Gao Renhou and others' faces became slightly more attractive; Zhang Jun unfolded a slightly lower standard white rattan paper edict and continued:
"Here is Song Wentong in the industry, and Yu Xishan escorted him to the rescue. Don't give the country's surname, the name is Maozhen; the table is the Xichuan camping soldiers and horsemen, the Qiongzhou governor, and he will lead his troops today.
"There is a godly policy to administer Yang Shouliang to the government, to be cautious about the king's affairs, to be cautious about the thieves, and to serve as a soldier; he used to serve as the governor of Shuzhou..."
After reading these edicts, Zhang Jun slowed down and continued:
"Nowadays, many prefectures in Nanchuan are dissatisfied, and there are anti-party stealing. The roads are cut off and the taxes and tributes are not paid. The only way is to rely on the power of the emperor to clear the place..."
Then, at the military meeting in the account that was convened temporarily,
"There may be a lot of things to do in this matter. There have been many reports from insiders in the south saying that it was the thief warship and the water camp on the Xiajiang Road. Most of them have disappeared. I am afraid that they should not go elsewhere..."
An staff member immediately replied.
"If the emperor can take advantage of the momentum to lead troops down the Rong, Ling, Rong, and Lushui roads, maybe it will be possible to take and Guangfu Xiajiang prefectures lightly..."
"In addition, now that the emperor has the right to recruit and seek status, wouldn't all the twelve states of Xichuan be able to set things right, and give them their own duties?"
The other general also echoed the Dao.
Gao Renhou couldn't help showing a slightly emotional expression, but then he became embarrassed.
"I have the intention to divide my worries for the country, but if I divide my troops south and settle down here, what about the strategy of the capital city of Shu.. Once you are striving for the first place, isn't it the bloody work you have done before, you have to do all the wedding dresses." ."
"But it doesn't matter, it depends on whether the envoy valued the success or failure of the Jinguan City itself, or the Xichuan Festival Town and Jingjie it represented?"
Another staff member whispered softly.
"Isn't the two things that are originally one..."
Another general asked in surprise.
"Of course this is two in one, but it is also something that can be viewed in two..."
The staff member smiled confidently.
"Today's Shu is already dilapidated, but there are still many intact places in Nanchuan. Even if someone else gets this Jinguan City, is it enough to control Xichuan in the future... The key is not Tian Chener? On the thief..."
"It gave you the expediency of Xichuan's recruitment, but it is a place where there is much to do outside of the capital of Shu. As long as Xichuan's eleven prefectures actually have the majority, will anyone be able to fight against the invitation in the future... "
"It's nothing more than a distinction between name and reality, but as long as the place is still inconsistent, can anyone still be able to sway and ask for responsibilities..."
"Enough... I also care about this matter..."
Gao Renhou suddenly interrupted him.
Although he is still loyal to the court and his heart of retribution has not changed, but after so many things and twists and turns, his mind and attitude in dealing with things are still different.
And in the city of Chengdu, sitting in the sad city, Chen Jingxuan, dressed in plain cloth and full of pity, also said loudly to the people gathered in the street:
"I will open the city today and let it go, so that you can go to the bases outside the city to eat. If it is a salt-deficient home, I will also look at it and buy it privately. There is no prohibition..."
However, these people, who have thin faces or are covered with swelling, have a somewhat indifferent or insensitive attitude. Only after the soldiers who were standing nearby, who were fairly strong and healthy-looking, waved the swords and guns in their hands, did they make a weak response.
Afterwards, Chen Jingxuan, who hugged from the front and back, walked through the many cold streets and came to the depths of Jieya, then stepped back to the figure lying on the couch and said:
"Brother, I really can't think of anything. I have used all the methods that can be used. Even if the wealth in the house is scattered, the morale will not be improved much. If this continues, the people's mind will change, and I am afraid that there will be things that cannot bear to speak. Up"
"Then send someone out of the city to negotiate, there is only one thing... Others can be said to be surrendered, but the Gao family can't surrender, otherwise it is really full of dead people..."
Tian Lingzi, who looked sickly and shrunk a lot, also waved his hands weakly.
"I'll do it now. At least the soldiers and civilians in the city, and the Xichuan Jing Festival, can be more or less useful..."
Chen Jingxuan nodded heavily.
—I am the dividing line of surrender —
And on the water near the estuary of the big river.
The tricolor flags of the navy from the three towns of Chaohu, Gaoyou, and Hucao in Huainan, and the forests of Taiping Shuijun green flags that are going up against the tide, and the dust and smoke billowing fiercely on the broad water surface where the waves are raging and boiling. on.
"Charge with all your strength and hit it..."
From the old division of the Mingzhou Navy, they followed Wang Ying, Zhang Quan, Zhong Jiwen and other local power factions, and finally belonged to the Taiping Army. Because of their ship-handling skills, they were able to retain and redeem Qi Kexiu before the formation. Standing on the mast shouted loudly.
". Make a facelift, get ahead, just now." (End of this chapter)
