More than half a month passed in a flash in Chang'an City. With the last moments of summer and autumn, the weather became hotter and hotter, revealing the power of autumn tigers, and the seared and war-torn Guanzhong land was anxious and thirsty.
But on the other hand, those civilians who survived the war have finally received the long-awaited peace and peace, but at the same time they have to face the ensuing disasters and famines, and even The inexorable threat of plague.
As a result, under the pressure of survival and the guidance and persuasion of external factors, the group of families who were constantly gathered and attracted, and walked to the settlements and settlements in the south, became the hinterland of Gyeonggi Province and even the interior of the Guan. The most common scenery.
With most of the people who have already set foot on their way home, the Taiping Army, which gradually shrank from the city of Chang'an, finally returned to the starting line that brought Nanguo Sanmen and Bafang. Of course, it is impossible to retreat completely at once.
Although the army’s camp failed, it also left a lot of problems/mess that needed to be dealt with; for example, the remnants of the insurgents scattered in Gyeonggi Province and even in Guan, and the remnants of the enemy troops hidden in the Chang'an Chengfang. It takes time to identify and search slowly.
There were too many people who died during the occupation, and the previous indiscriminate killings by the officials and the army; resulting in many corpses being scattered among the cities. As the weather became corrupted, it was easy to become a plague. The source of the same requires careful search and careful handling.
The road to Lantianyu in the south of Chang'an needs to be renovated and maintained. There are many strongholds and barriers left in the place and need to be demolished, so as not to become a nest of robbers and refugees. Others have been cleaned and demolished together. Local remnants of Tunwei and Wupu.
Then, the building materials obtained and waved are used to strengthen and repair. The transfer bases and the signal towers along the roads, although expected to let out of Changan City, do not mean to give up on the south of Gyeonggi to Lam Tin and Duling. Control over large areas with other places as the core.
At the very least, the Jingnan area must be cleaned up and a new order must be rebuilt to ensure that if there is a need in the future, it can quickly re-intervene in the frontiers and strategic support points of the situation within the customs.
On the other hand, it is also to ensure that the various follow-up benefits obtained by the Taiping Army in Chang'an after the offensive and defensive battle can be turned into real resources that can be directly used (reciprocity, exchange, and sale).
In addition, during this period of time, the Taiping Army successively tried and executed 700 or 800 prisoners in the storage yards in the West and East markets, and the generals who had been exposed and reported, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became clear. .
Among them, the Tian German army who ordered the slaughter of the abducted women was defended within the reach of history, and down to the ordinary officers and soldiers who murdered and abused women in the street; they could not help crying, crying for mercy or breaking their mouths under the accusation of all people. Cursing, it's hard to escape the embarrassment of killing.
Therefore, Zhou Huaian, who is staying in the Daxingshan Temple, and Huang Chao, who has begun to listen to the dynasty in the imperial palace, have maintained the daily state of negotiating and shouting in the air in a sense that the king does not see the king.
What's more surprising is that after receiving Huang Chao's reward, Zhu Lao San was busy withdrawing from the camp. It is said that something has happened in the Dugui Road, so there is no time to come to see him, but just let people come over and say thank you again and again, which is really a bit hasty.
It was just that he was also in the Xingqing Palace in the northeast of the city before returning to Guandong, leaving a team of more than 3,000 people led by his deputy Li Bintang, thinking that the court of the Qi Dynasty would use it. So far, as the survivors and remnants of the rebel forces in the city, they have also split up.
Among them, the eight battalions of auxiliary soldiers/patrol teams composed of the old members of the rebels and local youths, most of them voluntarily continue to follow the Taiping Army, and become the newly formed "three detachments" to supplement and support Force's garrison regiment.
As the leader, Meng Kai returned to Daqi with another part of the manpower as the guard of Empress Cao. As for Liu Tang, the minister of household ministry represented by another civil servant, he suddenly realized that he usually became a monk in the temple where he had taken refuge;
As for Empress Cao, who was the leader, it was said that after returning to Ouchi, she started to feel sick and never showed up in public. Therefore, the temporary team that had maintained the situation in the city just disappeared invisible.
Zhou Huaian didn't have much regret about this. This was originally a temporary emergency measure in a sense. It was Empress Cao's physical condition that made him more concerned, but it was inconvenient to intervene more besides the routine greetings.
Therefore, in this embarrassing and weird atmosphere, he simply left Chang'an City temporarily without seeing and worrying about it, and went to inspect the management and construction projects in Duqu, Fanchuan and other places in the south of Gyeonggi.
Because the former is suitable for living because of the beautiful scenery, it is the gathering place of the nobles and nobles of Chang'an, the rich villages, courtyards and gardens; among them, there are many other careers left by the nobles and celebrities of the past dynasties.
The latter is the place where the eight Buddhist temples of Chang'an gather, and there are five ancestral courts of each school. However, through careful inspection and search of the temple properties, the Taiping Army's earlier Taiping gained a lot, and it offset a lot of military expenditure.
Now, these two areas are relatively well-preserved areas around Chang'an. There are a large number of ready-made buildings/building materials available, which are used to establish strongholds and guard for a while. Of course, there are also many preserved places of interest.
For example, in the Niutou Temple of Biezhi of Zen Buddhism, "shaped like a canopy, flowers in all seasons," Longclaw Sophora japonica and "Four Season Cypress" famous for its uniqueness. The birthplace of Huayan Sect-the forest of steles in the "Story of Dushun Monk of Datang Huayan Temple" in Huayan Temple.
In the Guanyin Temple, the white poplar wood-carved and gilded three-foot-high, hundred-armed and thousand-eyed large Guanyin statue; in the Yunqi Temple, the stone pagoda of "A Dark Tathagata Extinguish the Evil Qudhara Sutra Building" was translated and written by the former master Bukong Sanzang.
The north cliff of the god Heyuan in the Zenjing Temple, the group statues of the Jingbian stone carving caves that provide for the lives of people and the six reincarnations of the past dynasties; the twenty-four courtyards of the Hongfu Temple and the colored sculpture Sumi (mountain) hall.
In the pagoda courtyard of the Huguo Xingjiao Temple, there are the relic pagoda for Xuanzang Sanzang and his disciples and the Buddhist scripture building of the general chapter. In Xingguo Temple, the incense courtyard dedicated to Tang Xuanzang's Tripitaka. They are all historical places of historical interest.
Of course, as Zhou Huai'an, a true modern person/fake monk, his every move, intentionally or unintentionally, is unavoidable in the eyes of the world, and it is intriguing.
For example, among the consultant Seng Xu present, he secretly said to the fellow monk Guan Xiu:
"Shouzun Wuliang Guangming, the chief governor is going to break the door and promote education!"
"How can Dao brother teach me..."
He wrinkled his face and described the old Guanxiu He said:
"Obviously, the Buddhist schools that went to Beijing are already obsessed with foreign objects and have come to the end of the divergent path of the essence of Buddhism."
Xuzhong also said in a sad voice on his face:
"I don't know that this world is already hungry, but there is still a luxurious and exquisite palace between Zhulanruo, and there are many fields to accept, and he thinks that he is detached from the outside, and he is only good at ice and fire..."
"If children hold gold in the market, don’t they hear that it’s self-inflicted misfortune; even if there is no Wu Zong in the world to destroy the law and return to the vulgar, there will be other tyrannical people waiting to raise their swords at the Buddhist school. That is the time of extinction. what.."
Then he sang Maitreya deity and continued:
"The chief governor has now broken all the gates, all for the benefit of the people and the nation; he also selected the disciples to enlighten and educate Li Shu; this is to break the barriers of obsessive foreign objects of the sangha of the masses, and the vast Buddhist teachings are in the cold. . This is not Guangfa, but what is Xingjiaohu?"
"So, the chief governor is really saved with great perseverance and righteousness."
The poet and monk beside Qi Ji couldn't help but exclaimed:
Regardless of the daily rainbow farts and various understandings and understandings of the people below, Zhou Huaian still carried out the corresponding inspections/tours in an orderly manner; while continuing to receive various public or Gossip. At least after he left, some stinky fish and shrimps dared to jump out, and the group of demons danced like that.
It also includes some well-known scenes from Tang poems that have been extolled through the ages and have tortured many people in their student days. For example, Zhongnan Mountain where "parking and sitting in love with the maple forest evening"; "the sunset is infinitely good, but it's almost dusk." Leyou Yuanshang; another example is "the spring breeze is proud and the horseshoes are light, and you can see the Chang'an flowers in one day." in the Lishan Road; "people" The peach blossoms reflect red." Chengnanzhuang.
Even more than 20 years ago, a generation of romantic female Taoist and poet Yu Xuanji who was executed because of jealousy killing her maidservant became the site of Xian Yiguan, a famous saying that "easy to get is priceless, rare to have lover". . . . Just as Zhou Huai'an was happy to COS with some allusions left by the ancients, but once again ushered in an emergency report in Chang'an City.
—I am the dividing line of emergencies —
At the same time, Zhu Laosan, who once again crossed Taolinsai to the west of Tongguan, and his tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were also winding along the banks of the Yellow River. This time, the trip to the aid zone was a bumpy ride for him, but in the end he caught up with the final victory and got a good result.
Not only was the King Huang awarded the official position and status of Ming Zheng Yan Shun to master the Dugui Dao, but also with the support of materials and weapons provided by the Taiping Army, he took advantage of the trend to annex and absorb several other volunteers of the same army, and made the original Huayin city big. The loss of the defeat was doubled to compensate and recover.
Therefore, when the King Huang sent someone to reward him and asked him privately whether he was still loyal to the new dynasty, and he cared about the emperor’s sacred virtues and kindness, and spared no effort to do so, he keenly smelled something. It means bad and dangerous. After all, outside of today's Chang'an City, in addition to the Huang Wang's imperial conquest army and the Taiping army, there are only his formed troops left.
However, in the delicate situation of Beiyuan's three-legged triumph, his team is the most lonely and internally diverse existence. Therefore, he neither dared to openly defy Huang Wang's equal will and authority, nor did he want to have conflicts and conflicts with the always friendly and harmonious Taiping Army.
However, what worries him even more is that once his subordinates know the corresponding news, they are afraid of splitting people's minds, and even drawing people to the center. Then he will do everything after this hard battle. Wedding dress, that is really wanting to cry without tears.
Therefore, after discovering this sign, Zhu Laosan was almost worried and awake all night to toss and turn around; fortunately, his new chief secretary, Jing Xiang, was considered to be quite a city government and planner, and quickly proposed to him. A third option solution.
Let Zhu Zhen concoct an emergency document in the army for instability and anti-chaos in the rear, and then rightfully ordered the whole army to quickly open the class; finally got rid of the possibility of being drawn and infiltrated, and from the cracks and whirlpools of this splash Zhong got out in time.
However, when he was about to arrive at Hangu Pass, he suddenly received a report from the front; he discovered and encountered the banner of Hezhong (Wang Chongrong) soldiers and horses. (End of this chapter)
