Zheng Congyan, the former prime minister who presided over the situation just staying behind, was no less than Cui Anqian, who was held hostage by them in terms of status and appeal, and even better in terms of local prestige and popular hearts.
Therefore, the soldiers and civilians of the whole city of Taiyuan under his personal leadership did not hesitate to reject the request of Zhu Xieyi to take over the city of Taiyuan in the name of the northbound camp/persuade to surrender. On the contrary, it has counted the many serious crimes of rebelling against the feudal clan headed by Zhu Xie. After that, the foreign coalition forces were turned away.
Therefore, standing next to Saint Zhu Xieyi at the moment, the armor is full of new and old blood and a few arrows are inserted, but the trusted general An Jingsi, who does not blink his eyebrows, represents another defeat of the city and retreat without success. The result of the attempt.
However, in the large-scale joint ventures farther away, it is caused by the flooding and a certain beaming atmosphere; because there is a constant flow of team exchanges. They returned without discomfort with all kinds of plundered gains, or led a string of captured women and young men.
Seeing this scene, Saint Zhu Xieyi couldn't help but frowned, but he remembered the previous advice from the civil servants Gai Yu and others in the Chinese military tent; "The king wants to take Hedong as his foundation, so please stay back a little. Be sure to belong."
However, when his command came to his lips, he thought of An Qing, Sa Ge, and even Zhu Xie's turbulent attitude between the tribes and generals, and finally turned into a heavy sigh. He still couldn't make this determination after all.
After all, what he needs most at the moment is the efforts of these generals, and driving them to endure hunger, suffering and suffering along the way, damaging the motivation of many cattle, sheep, old and weak to persist, isn’t it just wanton raids and self-defense? Take the promise from Hedong
I'm afraid that the huge city of Taiyuan hasn't been defeated yet at the command of this restraint. However, this forcibly kneaded coalition force will disintegrate, disintegrate and disintegrate. At this time, there was another bad news from his subordinates, and Cui Anqian, who was in the army, was in trouble again.
In the camp a moment later, Cui Anqian who just wanted to take the opportunity to commit suicide to find his death was found again to be restrained, and stared at him with disheveled dispersal:
"The old man is completely useless with his generation, why don't I let me be the official minister..."
"It makes me have the grace of knowing and encountering, how dare I be slow and negligent, let alone humiliate my body..."
Zhu Xieyi Sheng sighed helplessly:
"So your reward is to use the old man's famous name to deceive, and to slaughter my Hedong army and civilians at will?"
Cui Anqian, who has a messy beard and noodles, sneered more and more:
"This is also an expedient method that is necessary to practice the righteousness of the king's way. If you can get the cooperation of the fair, you will naturally get twice the result without such a lot of effort..."
Saint Zhu Xieyi sighed more and more:
"Hey!! I only hate that I have missed the wolf ambition of the sheep and horse slaves of the previous generation, and I have such a cry..."
In the end, Zhu Xieyi Sheng, who was almost spit on his face, walked out of nothing. He was also quite troubled and embarrassed about it. His previous actions were regarded as offensive.
Therefore, although he used the name of the other party, he didn't dare to let him really come forward to do something; otherwise, with this unthreatening and coercive behavior, he was afraid that something might happen.
Suddenly Qi Juechen came from far away, and randomly turned into an emergency military situation sent to Saint Zhu Xieyi:
"Xue (Atan), who went south to Fenzhou, encountered the banner of Hezhong (army) outside Yindiguan; he broke his first three battles in a row, and later saw most of Hezhong swept up, and then retreated to Jiahubao to be defended. ..."
—I am the dividing line —
In Ezhou, under the roof of the sentry on the bank of the river.
A veteran with gray and thick beard, Ezhou defense officer Wang Chongyin sat cross-legged on the ground, and looked at the other side of the boat like a fish, constantly rowing over. It was the Jiangbei refugees who had been fleeing from Huaixi under Liu Hanhong's rule.
In front of him were the meals of today's camp. The hot and sour double diced stir-fried with chopped dried beans and bacon, tofu, salted vegetable oil residue and the simmered seeds, covered with brown rice, miscellaneous bean dumplings or paste cakes, is a delicious lunch.
And beside him, there are still many people with different expressions waiting, looking at him expectantly or beggingly, waiting to speak.
"Is the Metropolitan Government going to disarm for the third time this time? This is a good thing... It is the common sense of the basic military management since ancient times to be able to order and prohibit timely replacement, and the survival of the fittest among the ranks."
However, Wang Chongyin said with disapproval:
"Is it true that you have to be like the army of the feudal towns in "The Northern Dynasties" Huh?"
"Even the selfish interests and desires of the small gangs have turned their efforts to cheer up or innovate and eliminate cheats to nothing, or they need to drop a dead and capable official, and the blood will flow into a river before they have to stop. two?"
Speaking of this, Wang Chongyin put down the soup bowl again and asked:
"Or did the Taiping Army treat retired and retired soldiers, or did they deduct their military merits and share their fields? Or the disabled and elderly soldiers in the nursing home are not enough to keep warm and live the rest of their lives. Is it? Or is it that the old pawns who have retreated to local resettlement and service are not enough to support themselves and their families?"
"Speaking of which, everyone is a good guy with hands and feet. No matter what other people can support themselves and take care of their homes with the help of the governor's house; some people just want to get something for nothing, or lie on the merits. Domination. Why can such people expect to stay in the army?"
"Everything in the world is like the principle of reincarnation in the four seasons. There is advancement and retreat. This is where the vitality and vitality of things follow and replace. Is there anything I can't figure out, or is there someone who doesn't want to think about him?"
In the end, Wang Chongyin stroked his beard and pointed out:
"If you want me to say, this is someone who knows and understands to be confused. It is because of the selfishness and the consideration of personal status and power that the matter of returning is so caring. But if someone is deceived and made trouble because of this, That is the biggest injustice for those brothers who shed blood and sweat and sacrificed their lives to walk to the present day.
As for the possibility that there may be a large captain, through the replacement of the old and the new, to further reduce and reduce these hilltops and influence proportions that belong to the background of the Rebels, there is really no need for Wang Chongyin to put it down.
Because this is something that any mature and wise upper person will inevitably do. Under any structure that loses checks and balances and constraints, it represents endless troubles and disasters.
This point has actually been experienced or seen quite a lot in his early career following King Huang. It was only after he quieted down to listen to and read the designated books, study and reflect on the past from time to time, he gradually understood it. reason.
It’s like Huang Wang once had the opportunity to stand at the top of the world, but he cared too much about his old feelings and sheltered his relatives, etc. As a result, his excess human touch turned into internal division and chaos in the military, the biggest hidden danger. And the source of the problem.
Therefore, he also used this to beat and warn those in the army who still blessed the existence of fluke thoughts and illusions; after all, as the origin of the old rebel army, it was easy to kill from the sea of blood in the dead mountain and keep up with the people who were in charge of the new revolution. Not much anymore.
If it is because of the momentary hesitation and vacillation of gains and losses, and then missed the opportunity to continue to advance in this large group; or the opportunity to stand in the new dynasty in the future and the opportunity to pass down the name, it is really a pity. .
Therefore, he would rather say something awkward here, so that those who want to test and ask for help will give up and bear the hate; it is better than letting them get together and ask for something, but inexplicably commit a taboo and ruin the future.
At the same time, the Hanshui Ferry outside Xiangzhou City,
"I have seen all the great masters..."
Kezhi, a monk with a cloth crotch, who had just walked off the boat, hurriedly put his hands together in salute, facing the dangling bald head that came to meet him:
"You finally came..."
The monks also responded with high hopes:
As a matter of fact, with the large number of people who moved out of Guan and Gyeonggi, in addition to the women in Pingkangli and the merchants in the east and west cities, there are also many monasteries inside and outside the city.
The reason is also very simple. As monks, although they claim to be transcendent and mundane, they also need a lot of human and material resources from the world to support and maintain their daily livelihoods.
What's more, the temples inside and outside Gyeonggi are now dilapidated and decayed. Those Buddhist temple households attached to the temple properties (providing monasteries) and monk households (providing monks) who farm and rent land are also fleeing from death and death. One or two.
However, amidst the raging fires of looting by the official army and the rebel army, the monks who survived and lingered, had to face the subsequent liquidation of the Daqi new dynasty due to the exhaustion of financial resources. It was really unsustainable.
Therefore, even if the Taiping Army is equally harsh and strict with these Buddhist schools, they have checked many places and filled up all kinds of worship, and forced many ordinary monks to return to the secular; but when they withdrew, many monks spontaneously accompany them to avoid disasters and go south. Up.
The monks who greeted each other were among the group who stood before them. After confirming the attitude and actions of the Taiping Army towards the ruling of the monastery and the monks in the local area, another group of groups successively descended southward; the Daqinglong Temple, which was only born, is one of them.
It is a pity that as the last inheritance of the Tantric Buddhism of the Tang Dynasty, the last generation of Daxingshan Temple has been the master Panjue/wisdom wheel (Ding Jianwu from Jingzhao Duling) who was the recorder of the Zuojie monk. After he passed away eight years ago, There is no more decent person who can lead the teacher to improve.
Therefore, the only two esoteric teachings in the world, whether it is a monk who cultivates in the Vajra realm or the fetal Tibetan realm, even if the rumor that the chief superintendent has a source in the esoteric religion is false, they must be faked for the purpose of the sect. Really try hard. (End of this chapter)
