Tang Dynasty

Chapter 709: Weishui and Xianyang are no longer the capital

Views:

"That said, our army is still a step too late, letting the Taiping thief leave Lantian and enter the capital, forming a two-phase response?"

Cui Anqian's words were not hurried or slow, but the generals who were present seemed to have a chilly wind passing through the general awe-inspiring fear, and they involuntarily lowered their bodies.

"But I don't know, to the south of Chang'an, which state pillar is responsible for blocking and sweeping the formation?"

"Shanggong atones for sins, Xianggong atones for sins,"

Then, an army general immediately bowed down and shouted: Under the side of the crowd, it was Zhang Chunneng, the envoy of the Jinzhou soldiers and horses of the Hezhong Army who was accompanying him. I saw him kowtow loudly and exclaimed:

"It's really because our army was so badly injured in Yanzhou, and the soldiers who walked in were also unusable. Please also Xianggong to make up for the humble one..."

"What is meant by excessive damage is also unusable. I'm afraid it's not because the children can't grab the money from the place, so send all the soldiers out to help you."

However, his words were exposed by Liu Chonglu, the military patrol officer next to Cui Anqian, who was interrupted by a cold voice:

"When you volunteered to fight the thieves for the partial teacher, how did you act so desperately? ... Now how can you even be unable to gather your subordinates!"

"Now because of your negligence, the newly defeated thieves in the city have received foreign aid, and the morale that has collapsed, and those loyal and righteous men whose dark centers are facing the court, are about to change sideways! "

"Menggong Mingjian..."

Zhang Chun was able to open his mouth and wanted to distinguish one from the other, but was winked by Cui An, who was already impatient, and he peeled off his robe and dragged it out in public; amid a screaming and screaming, he became the one who came in to verify his body. A bloody first level.

Then, Cui Anqian, who described the elegant and handsome, glanced at the generals who were not so outstanding, and uttered two words to the general who notified the enemy and the secret letter in the city:

"carry on.."

However, when I heard some of the stories about the Taiping thief, it caused a lot of waves again.

"You need to eat cabbage heart to eat vegetables, and to fight Sha Tuo soldiers in battle?..."

The expressions of everyone in the potential including Cui An suddenly became a little subtle and strange.

"Unreasonable, these thieves are really...really...what do you think of my imperial master?"

Someone was so angry that they couldn't speak, but Zhang Yanqiu was waiting for Zhang Yanqiu, the capital of the northbound camp. ,

"Shatuohu in a mere trivial area, as He De, can make the thieves stand in front of our army..."

Just now, Zhu Mei, the envoy of the court’s Puning Jeddu who stayed behind, was also angry.

"This is nonsense, but how did these thieves know about the Shatuo tribe in Daibei?"

Then someone became surprised and suspicious, but it was He Dong Ya Jiang Lun'an.

"Perhaps the reputation of Zhu Xie and his son who participated in the suppression of the Xuzhou (Pang Xun) thieves was also spread among thieves."

As Ma Jun knows that Wang Chan also agrees and begins to speculate:

"It's ridiculous. Zhu Xie's ministry only claimed for the court a few years ago; Zhu Xie's father and son were only recently pardoned by the court, and they led the troops from outside the mountain to redeem them. How did the thieves know?"

There was even Xue Wei, the soldier and horseman of Hedong, who took advantage of the topic and said in an uncertain tone:

"Could it be that the eyeliner, ears and eyes of the thief army have gone so deep into the land of Hedong and even Daibei? This is too unbelievable, right?"

Then there was Cui Ze, the ambassador, showing some faintly anxious expression:

"I've heard that Li Youjin from Weizhou of the Shatuo Department suffered a lot of setbacks in Jingnan, and he retired with serious injuries. Is it because of this."

Someone thinks of it self-righteously.

Just as they were making loud criticisms and messy criticisms for this, someone already impatiently stood up and interrupted:

"What good is it for you to talk more about this? It's just a waste of time."

But it was the governor of the party chief Quan Xiazhou, the younger brother of the Yinxiasui (now southern part of Ordos) Jiedu envoy Tuoba Sigong, who led a party cavalry under the account of the Yuzhou governor Tuoba Sizhong, only Seeing him out of line, he bowed his hand to Cui An and asked for orders:

"Please tell me, I have heard that the Taiping thief has a reputation in the south, and it is not worthwhile to harm the generals, officials, officials, and gentry. How long is someone willing to go to the court for a try?"

"Okay, let the Weibei Army, the deputy envoy of Dongfang (Kui), also serve as the response and empress."

Cui Anqian, who had not spoken but watched this scene with cold eyes, only responded with words like gold. However, there was a hint of doubt and fear in his heart.

After all, the Zhu Xie clan of the Shatuo tribe had a history of rebelling against the imperial court. Their most common style of painting is to be proud, unruly, and disobedient to Wang Hua. It is also because they think that the northern capital has stayed behind Zheng Cong to reward and reward too. Bo, Zongbing robbed the outskirts of Taiyuan City.

However, in today's southern army, all kinds of army also occupy a large proportion. In addition to the Shatuo tribe headed by the Zhu Xie clan, there are actually various tribes of the Helian clan that have become vassals after the Yinshan Metropolitan Governor Helenduo was attacked and killed.

There are also the Pingxia and Dongshan Dangxiang ministries represented by Tuoba Sigong after Yin Xia Sui Jiedu stayed there; the Zhenwu Army Jiedu envoy Qi Fuzhang's troops from the Uyghur Department of Shanyu Duhu Fu, as the so-called drag The huge relationship and power that moved the whole body at once.

Compared with these tribesmen under the control of the northbound battalion, he mobilized and mobilized the officers and army belonging to the five towns and seven troops of Hedong, and he almost exhausted the manpower and material resources of Hedong; and he had to acquiesce after every victory. Those generals allowed the officers and soldiers to copy and plunder in private to make up and eat.

Therefore, he killed Zhang Chunneng, who led a local army in the river to fight, but it was achieved at the lowest cost, and it had a deterrent and vigilant effect in a short period of time; because every delay and delay here To divide, it is necessary to waste a huge amount of money, food and materials in the long valley roads to the north.

Therefore, after Tuoba Sizhong and Dongfangkui took their orders one after another, he said solemnly to the generals under the account:

"The seventeen tribes of the three surnames of Sha Tuo are the backbone and support of the imperial court to seek out thieves. Governor Zhu Xie is also the country's veteran for many generations. In the future, those who dare to criticize this will not blame the ruthless military!"

Then he explained to Li Wo, the palm secretary beside him:

"Prepare an order for me to challenge Zhu Xie (Ying Sheng). It is said that the follow-up of the siege and blockade of Beijing requires more use of his forces, so that the family tribe will divide the troops to support it."

However, not long after the end of the military discussion, a rush that was urgently sent in in the summer heat caused Cui Anqian's face to change slightly and shouted in hatred

"Wang Chongrong's death in this hut is not a pity..."

"Come on, give me an idea to return to the bookstore..."

—I am the dividing line of doubt —

And in Chang'an City, which is still in the calm before the storm, the continuous flow of personnel and materials between the three gates of Nanguo is the most common sight in daily life.

"The prosperous Guangzhou Mansion, the XX army is red, the first time that the people have their own children, who can rely on from scratch, the great Taiping Army, the great Zhou Dudu, the great Zhou Dudu"

"Twenty-five hundred miles of water and thousands of mountains, going northward to destroy the old Tang, holding high the green flag into Xiangyang, turning the crisis into someone to rely on, the great Taiping Army, the great Zhou Dudu, the great Zhou Dudu..."

Among the majestic singing voices, outside the Taiping camp between Anyifang and Yanzuofang, which is located inside Mingdemen, has gathered a large number of local people in Chang'an.

Among them, in addition to many small vendors and temporary stalls who came to do business after hearing the news, more people did not avoid coming to see the bustle, because these peaceful thieves only came for two days, which has already reflected many things in the past. Something different.

For example, they wake up every day to sing and raise the flag; they start to sing at every turn between breakfast, lunch, dinner and parade, or they read out some words that contain truth and ideas in unison;

Besides, besides garrisoning at the top of the city, they basically stopped coming out after entering the camp at other times; even if they came out, they would pass through the street in droves, without any left behind or scattered nuisance nearby. Signs of folk houses.

Even the most dilapidated shantytowns and poor households in the southern outer corner of the city are where Anyifang and Yanzuofang, which are now a scene of desolation and desolation, have become somewhat prosperous and lively because of their arrival.

As soon as they arrived at the place, they began to divide into several shifts, and began to clean up and build the camp and its surroundings. Even in the middle of the night, they could see the brightly lit construction site and hear the work chants that stayed up all night.

These Taiping soldiers are like the most demanding paranoias who ask for their hardships. It took only two days and one night to work together to completely reverse the two large-scale tunes.

The ground on the streets that were originally potholes was leveled, and the ubiquitous puddles and potholes in front of and behind the house disappeared; they were blocked and piled up with dirt for many years, and when it rained, the large and small ditches where stinky water flowed back were also covered. Unblocked and reinforced.

As for the chaotically built sheds all over the ground, or the ruined and ruined houses in the wind and rain, they have also been demolished into flat areas by large areas, and they are surrounded and marked with wooden poles and white gray lines. One by one the intended use.

But the most conspicuous thing is the components they transported by vehicles on the spot, and they assembled and built one in the camp on the spot, with a few strange wooden towers/watching towers with long swing arms.

Therefore, many of the poor families in the neighborhood who evaded, returned to their burrow with their families; they found that the square song they were in had also changed drastically, and even the river ditch began to flow gurgling. Shimizu.

Then, another sergeant, led by the local Fangtou and Lizheng, knocked on their door from door to door, saying that they would hire their male males to work in order to transport the cleaned up rubbish and waste. Go outside the city.

Of course, no one would ever believe that there would be such a great good thing, but these armed soldiers are so close at hand that they are impossible to resist and dare not to shirk; who knows what will happen to the dissatisfaction of these military masters? It.

As a result, many people had to cry and tear down their family members, and gathered helplessly to the designated street; but they did not expect these peaceful thieves to give each of them a bowl of porridge first after ordering the heads and groups.

As a result, the originally panicked and frightened thoughts were relieved a lot at once; and after giving them tools and reading out the corresponding rules, some people finally realized that this corvee might be different.

Although in this initial day, many people were punished for clumsy or mistakes; but when some people came home with dried cakes and baked potatoes hidden in their clothes, they came back one after another. Joy and tears.

Therefore, on the next day, people rushed to the sky and gathered on the corner one after another, hoping to take up the work for two more meals and give the family some opportunities;

And some people with active minds even brought out the half-year-old children in the family, wanting to take a place. But I didn't expect that these Qingqi troops were actually not rejecting everyone's participation.

This time, although some people were still punished for making mistakes, some people were rewarded for their hard work. Not only did they give an extra meal to take home, they also publicized his name in public.

Then, with the gathering of popularity, the small vendors who specialized in the garrison business in the afternoon also appeared outside the camp.'

Because before then, these sergeants of Taiping brought many carts to the East City. They used bags of copper coins and silk to knock open the half-closed shops one by one, and bought many things in piles and baskets. .

So for a while, a half of Chang'an Nanguo already knew that these Taiping sergeants were quite ample in their hands, and they were willing to do business with people in a friendly way.

Of course, sleepless nights are mixed with spies and eyeliners with different thoughts, or simply slaves and subordinates photographed by the big family, to observe this only may affect the situation in Chang'an.

However, looking at it, some criticisms and boycotts inevitably occurred one after another in whispers:

"Even Qiu didn't commit any crimes? Still paying the price? Are these thief soldiers mad?"

"This thief's picture is very big, I am afraid it is not to invite people to buy people's hearts and build a reputation and appearance."

"It’s going to be a long time in the future. In this largest metropolis in the world, you don’t pull, grab, or gather ideas; but there are costs everywhere, and it depends on how long they can hold on..."

"Didn't the thieves who came into the city at the beginning also looked generous and kind? Later, didn't they still enter the houses of the people and take them wantonly among the towns..."

It was just that they hadn't waited until they continued to spy and inquire more news. The golden drums of sirens from the city head suddenly broke their dreams and fluke that they had hidden behind the city wall for a while. (End of this chapter)
