Ignorance brings superstition, and everything that is incomprehensible in nature is attributed to God. Especially in remote areas, mountains, forests, trees, flowers, rain, and snow, they all have gods in their minds, even if they are born, old, sick and dead, they are inseparable from the things that the gods chatter. When you are sick, you have to jump and drink two bowls of messy divine water.

Xi Junmai entered the city with a musket team with great interest, facing the captives who had already been guarded, like a punch on cotton, extremely uncomfortable.

Two piles of explosives bags took Dingxiangcheng lightly, which was completely unexpected by Li Jing. However, it also gave him a new idea, leaving 10,000 foot soldiers, plus 20,000 logistics guards Dingxiang, he led people to besiege and annihilate the royal court of Jieli Khan.

Jinyang! Early in the morning, the people were in and out of the city gate in an endless stream, some were vendors who went into the city to sell things, some were porters who transported goods, and there were also workers who went out of the city to work and workshops, at this time, there was a sound of war horses galloping in the distance, and the red flag on the back of the knight was seen in the distance, and the pedestrians hurriedly leaned on the side of the road again, trying to make the road that was a war horse galloping wider as much as possible, and the merchants who drove the mule carriage also hurriedly drove the carriage to the side.

The red flag is planted on the back, this is an urgent report, no one can stop it, and those who violate the order are killed on the spot, everyone knows this, not to mention that some time ago, the imperial court sent troops to recruit the Turks, and the people naturally looked forward to the battle report ahead.

Of course, the cavalry who sent the order did not disappoint them, and some distance from the city gate, someone shouted: "Dingxiang is a great victory!" Capture the Khan of Tuli alive! ”

"What! Capture the Khan of Tuli alive! The people were stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise.

You must know that this life captured the Khan, but how many years has not happened, a few years ago, the Turks came to Yanmen Pass and surrounded Yang Guang, but they almost even captured the emperor. Moreover, the Turks often knock on the customs and invade the north, I don't know how many people have suffered from the Turks, and it is also in the past two years that Zou Yu has recovered Yanmen, and in the clouds, this is much better.

Although many people don't know who the Turkic Khan is, Dingxiangcheng still knows that one of the Turkic signboards, which is not inferior to the location of the royal court, has now been beaten down, isn't this equivalent to teaching the Turks a hard lesson? What's more, they also captured a khan!

As the messenger shouted, the people immediately cheered, and the roads that extended in all directions allowed the messenger and the cheers of the people to reach the office building almost at the same time.

"Go down and get some rest!" Zou Yu took the battle report sent by the messenger and commanded, then checked the fire paint, opened it and looked at it, the more he looked at it, the happier he became.

"In the first battle of Dingxiang, not a single soldier was lost, the Turki Khan brothers were captured, 80,000 Turks were captured, and 50,000 people in the Central Plains who were captured over the years were rescued! 50,000 horses, 30,000 other horses, 18,000 cattle, and 300,000 sheep were captured! Zou Yu handed the battle report to Fang Xuanling, looked at the expectant eyes of the others, and laughed loudly.

"What! How can this be done without losing a single soldier? Before Zou Yu's words fell, someone immediately exclaimed.

"Lord Wang! This does not damage a single soldier, could it be that the Tuli Khan surrendered directly? Yao Silian, a regular attendant of the free horse, asked.

"Li Shangshu sent a battle report a while ago, and the Tuli Khan wants to be a minister! In order to ask us to withdraw the army, Li Shangshu refused, so there was no direct surrender, on May 20, Li Shangshu led a large army, the soldiers were in Dingxiang, while paralyzing the enemy, on the other hand, let the artillerymen bury explosives under the city, on May 25, the army attacked the city, and the explosives broke the city wall. The Turks thought that this was a heavenly punishment, and they all surrendered on their knees! Zou Yu explained.

"It's... Lord, since the Turki Khan is willing to be a vassal, why not promise him, you can also support a force in the steppe and completely control the steppe! It's better than fighting down, and no one is better than managing it. Yao Silian suggested.

"The people of the grassland regard themselves as wolves, and you have seen wolves! The ancients had a saying that the white-eyed wolf that could not be raised! It can be seen that wolves are not here to raise, only when they are beaten will they be obedient! Zou Yu waved his hand and said.

"The prince is wise! From the Xiongnu to Xianbei, Rouran, and Turkic, no matter how many times they claim to be vassals, once the Central Plains is weak, they will pounce on them like wolves and bite them hard! Therefore, a hard fight can ensure the peace of the frontier for at least one or two decades! The Yin World Master clasped his fists and agreed.

"Yin Gong's words are reasonable, the Turkic people are barbaric, the customs are indecent, and there is no reason, as the prince said, you need to be arrested and reformed through labor, and then accept the etiquette education of the Central Plains!" Ma Zhou, the secretary and eunuch, got up and said.

The secretary is in charge of the national collection and editing of the work of the institution and the official name, Emperor Wen of Sui changed to the secretary of the province, Zou Yu did not cancel the secretary of the province of the official office, but still called the secretary of the superintendent, the position has changed, not in charge of the collection, but as the full-time secretary of the three provinces and six ministries, it is also a kind of investigation of talents, generally newly discovered or recommended talents, will be arranged to the secretary to be the secretary, and at the same time assigned to various departments to serve, and finally according to the ability to assign positions.

Eunuchs and young eunuchs are all official titles, not eunuchs in the palace. The eunuchs in the palace, generally different people have different titles, formal titles, and outsiders have different titles, generally called temple people, eunuchs, eunuchs, eunuchs, middle officials, internal officials, internal ministers, internal servants, etc.

Twenty-four prisons in six departments of three provinces, the chief officer of these twenty-four prisons, except for the order! It's a eunuch! For example, Tai Shi Ling! Craftsman eunuch!

Ma Zhou has been following Fang Xuanling for a long time, so the secretary and supervisor will be handed over to him to take care of.

"There is no need to argue about this matter anymore, this king once said, Turks! However, the border is cheap, not enough to treat benevolence and righteousness, not to be responsible for common courtesy, in ancient times, to fish and turtles and animals, although the day to kill thousands of people, not enough to be ashamed! Now let's talk about who will govern Dingxiang! Now below Dingxiang, the Yanmen area, is also a lot safer, there are many captured Central Plains people on the grassland, many people have lost their families, so it is better to settle nearby, after all, they themselves adapt to the life of the grassland, but also adapt to the climate here. Zou Yu waved his hand and said.

"A few subordinates can complete the requirements of the prince!" Xue Yuanjing, who rarely spoke, got up and arched his hand.

"Oh! I don't know which ones they were so praised by Secretary Xue! Zou Yu asked curiously.

"These people are all from Taiyuan! It is the father and son of the Taiyuan Di family! Di Xiaoxu, who once served as the commander of Xinfeng County, followed the Queen Mother to Jinyang two years ago until Shi was at home; His son Di Zhijian, who served as the commander of Jiangyin; Di Zhiben, who has been studying in Jinyang and guarding the old house, has a good reputation in Jinyang, and is not under the Wen family! Xue Yuanjing introduced with a smile.

"Secretary Wen has won the award, it should be said that he has a much greater reputation than Dog Zi and others." Wen Dalin replied embarrassedly.

"Forgive me, it's not that subordinates suppress talents, but that the Di family is unwilling to go out!" Wen Dalin bowed his hand to Zou Yu and continued.

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and they don't force them." Zou Yu said gently.

"Thank you for your understanding, presumably now the Di family sees that the people under the rule of the prince are living a prosperous life, and deeply feel the benevolence of the prince, and now they are moved again." Wen Dalin explained.

"That's true, Di Xiaoxu has publicly praised the prince many times, saying that the prince is the reincarnation of Duke Zhou!" Xue Yuanjing smiled.

"So-and-so just did what he was supposed to do!" Zou Yu smiled and said modestly.

"The father and son of the Di family have a good reputation, if you want to say that the biggest reputation, it is still Di Xiaoxu's youngest son, Di Zhixun. It is said that Di Zhixun and Fang Shangshu are almost the same, they are all a table of talents, there are "dragon chapter phoenix", "look hair", the elegant title, he is the Ming Jing and the first, was awarded the East Palace Naolang, for the mother to keep filial piety, before resigning. Xue Yuanjing continued.

Long Zhang Fengzi, some people also describe Fang Xuanling like this, which means that both of them are very tough and handsome, and very elegant.

"Dicterson!" Zou Yu reminisced about it, this name seemed to be somewhat familiar. But I can't remember where I've heard it, I think I must have heard it inadvertently in later generations. The one who can make an impression on himself must be a historical celebrity, but in this period, it is this surname, except for Di Renjie, he can't think of anyone else.

However, according to the inference of time, Di Ren's outstanding students did not say hello, then it should be his family!

Since Secretary Xue attaches so much importance to the Di family father and son, then in the name of the imperial court, he officially canonized Di Xiaoxu as the Taishou of Dingxiang County, and Di Zhijian as the Taishou of Honghua, and went to take office; In addition, Di Zhiben, Di Zhixun, first entered the secretary supervisor and served as the secretary of Zhongshu Province! I'll redeploy the place in the future! Zou Yu smiled.

Since the father and son of the Di family live in Jinyang, they must be very attentive to the government affairs of Jinyang, and they all have experience as magistrates, so Zou Yu directly asked them to take office. After all, since Xue Yuanjing recommended it, then he would definitely be outstanding, otherwise Xue Yuanjing would not have said it in front of the public.

If it wasn't for the communication in advance, Xue Yuanjing would not have been able to risk offending people to tell Zou Yu.

"The subordinates are also like the prince, recommending two talents!" Pei Shiqing got up and said.

"Oh! Could it be that there are people in the Pei family who are willing to go out? Zou Yu asked curiously.

"Back to the prince, it's not the Pei family, it's the Bohai Gao family!" Pei Shiqing replied respectfully.

"Bohai Gao? Didn't they come out of Dou Jiande? Zou Yu frowned, thought for a while and asked.

If you want to talk about the Beihai Gao family, it is really famous, it is said to be the descendant of Taigong Jiang Shang, and the most brilliant is the establishment of the Qi State by Emperor Shenwu! With the fall of the Qi State and the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the Gao clan began to decline, but the Bohai Gao clan became one of the few families with the surname after the Fanyang Lu clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Xingyang Zheng clan, and the Taiyuan Wang clan after the development of the Northern Qi Dynasty. It belongs to the real county prestige, and has a huge reputation in the Bohai area.

A thousand-year-old family, a hundred-year-old dynasty, the family masters the local land, a large number of domestic slaves, tenants, and many talents in the court, so all dynasties have stood tall.

The most critical point is that the family does not participate in the struggle for hegemony in the world, that is to say, few of them want to be emperors, in their opinion, it is too risky to be emperors, and there is no need to let the thousand-year-old family be ruined in one fell swoop for the sake of a dynasty of hundreds of years!

This is also why those nobles and families after the Tang Dynasty cannot last long, because of the lack of heritage and vision! I always want to get as much as I can into my own home! It's a bit too much to describe them as unlearned, but half a jar of water is inevitable, like a half-book of Analects as a prime minister! How is this possible now, no matter how talented you are, you will be criticized for nothing! It can be said that the Sui and Tang dynasties and the nobles before them, the family, are the real nobles of the family! Whether it is talent or style, it is enough to take responsibility!

The severance of inheritance is the greatest sorrow of the nation, which Zou Yu agrees with very much, and he does not want future generations to have Cheng Zhu Lixue, or he does not want future generations to have a certain kind of thought, imprisoning the people! If there is, then it can only be the solipsist Hanzun!

Xue Yuanjing recommended the Di family, and Pei Shiqing recommended the Gao family, which is also a terrible thing about the family, which is deep-rooted, the relationship is complicated, and it affects the whole body! But now there are not so many really cold doors to use, as long as it is a talent, Zou Yu will not refuse to come, as for the virtue, I will see it later, and I will check it later!

"Dou Jiande also invited the Gao family, but Dou Jiande was very wary of the Gao family, so the Gao family did not go out of Hebei!" Pei Shiqing explained.

"I don't know who Pei Shangshu recommends?" Zou Yu asked.

"Gao Biaoren, the head of the Gao family, was sent to Wadao with his subordinates as a deputy envoy, and this person was full of courage and was both civil and military; The other person is Gao Kan, the second room of the Gao family, who is said to be the most powerful person in the Gao family at present, and has the style of the ancestor Lanling King. Pei Shiqing introduced.

"King Lanling!" Zou Yu said in surprise.

"Yes, Gao Kan is the descendant of Gao Changgong, the king of Lanling!" Pei Shiqing replied.

"Very good! The official position is tentatively set as the military department inspector Langzhong, and after the subordinate court system, it will be arranged separately! Zou Yu nodded and said.

As Zou Yu, at present, he really doesn't have to personally invite Corporal Lixian to behave like that, and he was sealed on the spot, and no one thinks it is inappropriate, after all, Jinyang is pragmatic, and there are many new things and systems, which need to be familiar, and everyone knows this.

Although Zou Yu didn't have to invite in person, he still had to come forward to receive him in person, Xue Yuanjing and Pei Shiqing went to invite him with the letter of appointment, and then set up a banquet to entertain him, which was still necessary. After all, hello, I'm good, everyone is good, others can afford to serve Jinyang, to put it bluntly, it is to serve Zou Yu, Zou Yu naturally has to give enough face.

Di Xiaoxu's father and son are both literati, lean and elegant, only Di Zhixun is indeed about the same as Fang Xuanling, with a strong figure, if it weren't for the gentle eyes and the unique temperament of a scholar, I am afraid they would all think that they are military generals!

After a good conversation, the Di family father and son do know Jinyang's system very well, and they also agree with Zou Yu's way of governing the people, so it can be said that they have a good conversation! The next day, they went to their respective posts.

The two of the Gao family are different, Zou Yu specially went to learn about the past of the Gao family, and found that the legends of the Gao family have one thing in common, that is, they are handsome. Gao Biaoren is worthy of being the deputy envoy to Wadao, like Pei Shiqing, who is more than 1.8 meters tall, starry eyes and sword eyebrows, and a handsome guy.

As for Gao Kan, who is even more worthy of the bloodline of the King of Lanling, Zou Yu really couldn't imagine that one day he would use "beauty!" To describe a man, with delicate skin, a pair of red phoenix eyes, clear eyebrows, a mouth that is not big or small, just right, and the nose is also very exquisite!

I don't know why, my first reaction when I saw him, Zou Yu just compared Xiao Yuexian with him, and the result was that each had its own merits! Fortunately, Zou Yu has seen countless beauties in later generations, even if it is in the film and television, the resistance in his heart is enough, so he just sobered up after being stunned, and looked at this expressionless beautiful man with a straight face.
