0542 Yao Chong was shocked when he heard about his old clothes
Let Song Jing manage a chaotic private camp, which is really a bit humiliating.
Looking at the banners in the camp, listening to the chatter of the camp guards, Li Tong's eyes finally fell on Song Jing, who had a serious face, and said with emotion in his heart.
He had read the regulations of the rebellious camps here, but he had never had time to inspect them on the spot. Now it seems that Song Jing really put his heart into it. It's just that such a large-scale promotion of King Yong in the camp will cause these guests to only know King Yong but not the emperor's heir?
Of course it does! Otherwise, he would just stay in Shendu honestly and continue to engage in power struggles, and what would Baba do when he came to Shendu?
"Well done!"
Although he was very satisfied, Li Tong only had an indifferent and slightly relieved expression on his face, and nodded to Song Jing as he spoke.
Song Jing just smiled after hearing this: "I don't dare to boast of my humble duties, if it weren't for His Royal Highness's frame tall trees, how could there be a place for humble duties." ”
As he spoke, he led King Yong and his entourage to the military tent in the camp, and introduced the current situation in the camp as he walked: "The camps have a total of more than 86,000 people, of which nearly 70,000 are guests in the suburbs of Beijing. At present, the number of people who have been pacified is nearly 20,000, and the chaotic people have gradually been treated, and the appeasement will only get faster and faster after that......"
Li Tong nodded with satisfaction while listening, and was quite satisfied with this efficiency. His bottom line is to completely pacify the rebels before the beginning of spring and put them into the production sequence as soon as possible. There are still nearly two months to go, which is relatively sufficient.
After Yao Yuanchong heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Fumin is so fast, there must be a lot of wild warriors, right?" ”
Song Jing nodded after hearing this, and said with emotion: "Chang'an is worthy of the essence of the characters in the Guan, and the edification is quite impressive. Recently, there are more than 500 people who have recruited talents in the people. Although it is only superficial, it can also be applied to the case. If this were not the case, the compilation of books and the reorganization of the camp would not have been able to proceed so smoothly. ”
Out of the 80,000 people, 500 junior intellectuals who can read and hyphenate are selected, although this proportion is not high, but it is by no means low.
In fact, the administrative procedures of the Tang Dynasty were quite standardized, and the format of letters had been officially standardized, so the standards for Xu officials were not too high, and basically as long as they were proficient in filling in numbers and reading and writing some simple words, they could almost be competent.
Although Yao Yuanchong was quite touched along the way, he did not forget the purpose of this trip, and after hearing the words, he continued: "Then these officials are just focusing on the camp and will be exempted when they run out, or do they have other promises?" ”
Song Jing glanced at His Royal Highness King Yongwang a little strangely after hearing this, and Yao Yuanchong stepped forward and explained: "This is not His Highness's doubt, I just want to remind Song to join the army, there is the entire Chang'an outside the camp, and Chang'an is not the only one with these troubled guests." ”
"Humble duty understands. It's just that Guan Zhongxing is in urgent need of talent. If only because of some old and inferior people, we will abandon those who are really talented in general affairs, and instead push the job to incompetent candidates, this is not in line with the principle of long-term peace and stability! ”
Although Yao Yuanchong was his recommender, Song Jing did not give up his insistence, but said in a deep voice: "I just want to be humble, I just want to give these people a chance." The selection of these personnel is also to be careful and prudent, and those who can be appointed, their respective temperaments are still not deferential, and most of them are coerced into chaos, and do not take the initiative to make trouble......"
While speaking, the group had already entered the military tent, and after sitting down with each other, Song Jingcai continued: "There is a township in Xijing, which is famous for the old clothes society, and it is quite strong in the countryside, and most of them are integrated by the dead households of Zhuzhichong Mansion. Recently, he has carefully investigated the affairs of this township society, and even if His Royal Highness does not enter the camp to ask, he is ready to enter the city to discuss the matter in detail. ”
When Li Tong heard this, his eyebrows raised again, and he smiled: "I have also heard of the name of this old clothing society." There is no shortage of disciples in front of the tent, saying that their company name is still righteous. I was also a little curious, and planned to be interrogated after entering the city, but I was too busy with other things to ignore for a while. So, Song joins the army, you already know a lot about this township community? ”
"Your Highness has actually heard of the name of the Old Clothes Society?"
When Song Jing heard this, he immediately showed a little surprise, and only nodded after a while: "It is not surprising that Your Highness has heard of this social name. This old clothing society donated hemp to help the poor, and there were many followers in Xijing and Guannei, which had a great impact. There are many veterans of the society, and it is normal for soldiers and soldiers to join the society. ”
After Yao Yuanchong heard this, his face showed a little vigilance, and he hurriedly asked: "There are so many government soldiers in this township, and even the army has been infiltrated?" Who's in charge of this? What are the intentions? Does Xijing's current turmoil have anything to do with them? How many of their members are there in the camp today? How do you organize each other? ”
Seeing Yao Yuanchong so vigilant, Li Tong was happy in his heart, so these characteristics of the clothing club are indeed a little sensitive, to be honest. In particular, Chang'an is in turmoil at present, and it is inevitable to be more vigilant against non-governmental township organizations.
"This is exactly what I want to tell Your Highness, this old clothes society really has to be investigated. There are more than 20,000 people in the camp alone. Nearly half of the lowly recruiters are also from this society. ”
Hearing Song Jing say this, Yao Yuanchong stood up suddenly, and his face became serious and heavy: "This township community is so powerful? Why not the morning report! How can you let Your Highness enter the camp in danger? ”
As he spoke, he looked at Song Jing sharply, and at the same time was about to pull His Royal Highness King Yong up: "The guests are entangled in the situation, His Royal Highness's daughter and noble body, it is really not suitable to stay in the camp for a long time!" ”
"Yao Shilang is a little restless, and his humble position is by no means greedy and rash. The reason why he did not report it before was because he wanted to understand more deeply, and he was worried that rash remarks might affect the judgment of the shogunate. ”
Seeing that Yao Yuanchong was so nervous, Song Jing hurriedly got up and said: "The hometown of the Former Yishe has become a place, and the nostalgia it is wrapped in is many times greater than that of the wealthy rooms in Xijing. It is also necessary to be more cautious about how to deal with it. If you can make an appointment with the law, Xijing will get twice the result with half the effort. But if it can't be tolerated within the king's law, then the shock in the pass will be even worse than before! ”
"How can you decide such a great matter alone? His Royal Highness is so heavy, how can he ......"
When Yao Yuanchong heard this, his expression became even more impatient, and there was a bit of anger in his eyes when he looked at Song Jing.
He thought that Song Jing was just a little radical and overly violent in helping the guests, but he didn't expect that this guy would be silent and stuffy in the camp!
Such an important matter dared to be silent and quietly investigated. Not to mention anything else, if the disciples of the Old Clothes Society really have evil thoughts, His Highness will personally enter the camp today, once there is a disturbance, the consequences will be unimaginable!
Seeing Yao Yuanchong glaring at him with an angry face, Song Jing was also full of bitterness. It's not that he really doesn't want to report it, but he doesn't dare to report it.
Just looking at the little information that has just been confided, Yao Yuanchong is already nervous like this, and you can imagine what kind of attitude those senior members of the shogunate will have if he directly reports the existence of the old clothes society.
Before and after His Royal Highness King Yong entered Beijing, he had already had a lot of bad relations with those noble families in Xijing, not only did he not help him, but he also had to beware of those people making noise. At this time, if this hidden old clothes society is picked on the bright side, it may directly shake the morale of the army.
If the inside and outside of the city are to take care of one or the other, then the current fragile stability situation will not be maintained.
He didn't look down on Yao Yuanchong and these superiors, but these people had been confidential in Southern Province for a long time, and it was difficult for them to deeply understand the influence and power of that old clothing society.
Even he became more and more frightened the more he got to know him, worried that these Shangsa would be too tough and inspire such a hidden force among the people. After all, Xuanfu made Dou Huai let the lessons of the past not far away, and his life and death are still uncertain. At present, although Chang'an has gathered tens of thousands of troops, it may not be able to completely control the internal and external situation.
Looking at the discussion between the two future celebrities about his secret hand, Li Tong was secretly happy in his heart, and he waved his hand to Yao Yuanchong with a calm face: "Don't be so nervous, since you have entered the camp, just listen to Song Senjun's careful explanation." ”
Yao Yuanchong nodded first after hearing this, and then said: "Your Highness's safety is important, or recruit an elite army to stand by outside the camp first." ”
"What Yao Shilang said is exactly what he said, if he knew that His Highness had entered the camp today, he would definitely take precautions as soon as possible."
Song Jing also nodded again and again after hearing this, he really didn't expect His Royal Highness King Yong to suddenly enter the camp: "Although according to the humble position, it is very unlikely that the disciples of the Ancient Clothes Society will make a disturbance, but His Royal Highness entering the camp is really not to be taken lightly!" ”
Seeing that both of them said this, Li Tong couldn't help but smile in his heart and drew up a military order, and the sergeant sent the 3,000 men and horses of the first army to the left to stand by outside the camp, and then said to Song Jing: "Go on." ”
"I know that this old clothes society is in the camp outside the Yanping Gate in the west of the city......"
Song Jing sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then talked about what he knew about the situation of the Old Clothes Society.
Therefore, the clothing society gathered tens of thousands of people in the city, and then responded to the military order to camp in large numbers, and the sense of existence was great. The reason why Li Tong didn't take the initiative to mention this matter was also waiting for his subordinates to report, after all, it was not good for him to directly connect with the Old Clothes Society.
Therefore, the clothing society declares righteousness in its words, and it is prudent to do so. He had tens of thousands of people in Xijing, but he only guarded a few squares and did not participate in the turmoil. This matter has also been verified by many parties, and there is no doubt about it. After the military order was announced to enter the city, its members responded positively and entered the camp. If this society also has the intention of gathering people to plot chaos, I am afraid that the chaos in Xijing will be even more excessive......"
Yao Yuanchong listened to Song Jing's narration, his expression gradually changed, and he muttered: "Whether it is really righteous and self-controlled, but the countryside is so powerful, it is a big trouble after all!" The customs have been out of control for a long time, and the food gathers to save themselves, even if it is pitiful, but now that His Royal Highness has entered the town, then it must not be indulged in the law! Since you know a lot about Song joining the army, do you have any strategy to put it in the middle of governance? ”
"The lowly office has made initial contact with the people in charge of it, and if His Highness is willing to condescend to summon him, the lowly office is willing to be introduced. But how to quote it depends on His Highness and the authority of all the superiors. There is only one word for lowly office, and this society has a lot of useful resources, and there is no need to treat it as illegal. If it can be properly appeased, then Xijing is not far away! ”
Song Jing looked up at His Royal Highness King Yong again, and said with a serious face.
"Then let's see, tomorrow Chongrenfang Wangdi, bring people in."
Li Tong thought about it for a while, and then nodded and said, "Before this matter is decided, it is better to keep it secret first, so as not to make any more complications." ”
He didn't mean to hide it from the two, but with his identity, if he really revealed that he was the person who said about the old clothes society, it would be too shocking, and he was destined to be an unsung hero in the creation of the old clothes society.
