Chapter 195: A Letter
The Silver Guards are responsible for the safety of the citizens of the entire Dragon Capital except for the inner and outer cities of the Imperial Palace, and are also the most influential Dragon Capital defense forces, which are under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Capital Mansion and are also under the supervision of the Prince's Mansion. Yuan Qi, the former commander of the silver-clothed guard, was the leader of the princelings, and after Yuan Qi was beheaded, Wei Yuan, a confidant of the prince of the prison state, served as the commander.
After Wei Yuan served as the commander of the Silver Guard, he vigorously suppressed dissent, promoted his henchmen, and rebuilt the Silver Guard in a very short period of time, which was trusted by the prince of the prison state. Wei Yuan's death cast another shadow over Longdu City, and also made the prince of the prison state realize that he has been a little aggressive recently.
After Wei Yuan's death, the people he promoted were either assassinated in retaliation, or feared for their lives and abandoned the official and fled, and the silver guard, who had once been on a par with the golden guard, finally fell, and the only military power of the prince of the prison country was also deprived.
Longdu City had to be managed by the forbidden army again, and Longdu once again returned to the hands of Dushanbo.
On December 28, the 29th year of Taiqian, Xuanyuan Zixiao, the prince of the prison state, ascended the throne and sacrificed to the sky in the imperial city of Longdu, and changed the name of the year to Dade, which was the emperor of Dade. After Emperor Dade succeeded to the throne, he immediately granted amnesty to the world, canceled the tax on fighting for the north and all the field taxes in the first year of Taisho, and pawned the precious treasures of the inner treasury with the funds of the imperial treasury, and raised huge sums of money to fill the treasury, and the whole world to tide over the difficulties.
It is the first time in the 300-year history of the entire Shenghan Empire to use the imperial treasury to feed the national army and officials next year, which immediately established the formality of the Xuanyuan royal family, and also made the people of the whole world more loyal to the Xuanyuan royal family. Emperor Dade's move not only won the hearts of the people, but also saved the hearts of the people in the world, so rebellions and civil unrest in various places were quelled. I have to say that Emperor Dade was an emperor with considerable courage and political wisdom, and he was also a famous monarch who would be written into poetry and books in the future.
After the enthronement ceremony, Emperor Dade convened his ministers and decided to negotiate peace with Wuhuan, and the bottom line of peace was to rescue the Han army in Jincheng, annul all agreements with the Tatar Khanate, and the northern part of the country belonged to Wuhuan.
Mucheng also held a modest ceremony to celebrate the new emperor's accession to the throne, and the newly recruited chief secretary of Guan Xiang was responsible for presiding over the ceremony and writing a new county chronicle.
Two days later, the Holy Han New Year arrived, and the wooden city was truly happy, and the streets and alleys were full of joy for the New Year. Although it is very cold this winter, it is also a great joy for Mucheng to protect the entire Mucheng military and civilians from freezing to death in this winter because of the large number of smoke stones and new ways to keep warm.
The people's evaluation of the ghost general is even higher than that of the Great German Emperor, after all, the Great German Emperor is far away in the sky, and the ghost is close in front of him.
From the first year of Dade, Zhang Xiaowu officially issued salaries to his soldiers, and still adopted the method of half silver and half grain, and the soldiers had both food and silver in their hands, and their lives gradually improved. It was only because of the war and cold winter in the north of the country that almost no caravans or court officials came to Mucheng, and even because Emperor Dade stopped conscription, no people were willing to come to live in the north of the country.
Although Mucheng's life was simple and boring, Zhang Xiaowu thought of a good way to release Mucheng's pressure, he made a new soccer ball out of sheepskin and sheep bladder, and then organized Mucheng to hold a football league and teach everyone the rules of football. Previously, when he was in the epidemic village, he used this to entertain, and many officers and soldiers in the old and dead battalion knew the rules, and at this time, these "old men" became the main force and coach of each team.
There are a total of ten teams in the Mucheng Football League, each team has its own team name, some are called the Mucheng Champion Team, some are called the Saibei Falcons, the Saibei Heroes Team, the Mucheng God of War Team, and the Mucheng Grandpa is on this team - as a result, each team saw that Mucheng Grandpa was playing to the death in this team, and they finally had to change their name to the Mucheng Defenders to show their mistake......
In order to increase the fun, Zhang Xiaowu also set a league bonus, the league champion team will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, the runner-up will be 900 taels, the third place will be 800 taels, and the tenth place will be 100 taels of silver.
On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the official document of the Ministry of War was transmitted to Mucheng, and the official document required the Mucheng garrison Zhang Xiaowu to abide by his duties, and not to use the sword soldiers with foreign races without authorization.
Zhang Xiaowu, the lord of the city, was officially recognized, and the official of the military department then handed a letter to Zhang Xiaowu, saying: "This letter is entrusted by an old friend of the lord. ”
Zhang Xiaowu received the letter, and when he saw that the person who wrote the letter only left the word "Zhou", he couldn't help but say: "An old friend surnamed Zhou? When did I have an old friend named Zhou? He beckoned to his men and asked, "Do I have an old friend surnamed Zhou?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Guan Xiang suddenly said, "Isn't it Zhou Wenqi who joined the Sixth Regiment in the army?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu opened the letter and read it, and wondered: "This ...... Classical Chinese is really ...... I know every word, but I can't understand it when I put it together, so Nakayuki, you can help me translate it. ”
Guan Xiao couldn't cry or laugh, took the letter and read it, and said: "It probably means that Dushan Bo promoted the lord to be the lord of the city, and in the future, he will ask the city lord to order everything with Dushan Bo, and in a few days, the imperial envoy who negotiated with Inui is about to come to Mucheng, which will definitely surprise the lord." ”
"Well, what about the back?"
"It's gone."
"Gone? That's what it means? What are the two words I read? Zhang Xiaowu shouted, "Guan Zhongzhi, don't lie to me, although I can't read this Yayan letter, I know how to read." ”
Guan Xiao said: "It's really gone, and there is also the fact that Lord Zhou is now a forbidden army." ”
Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Wenqi is really capable this week. ”
Guan Ji said: "Up and down the sixth regiment, who do you think you will rely on to take care of the support, it's all thanks to Zhou Wenqi." If there is no Zhou Wenqi, then Cheng Chu will be two hundred and five. Although this person is selfish and prudent and unfair, he is very popular, and the whole of the Sixth Regiment is his confidant. ”
Zhang Xiaowu asked, "Why didn't you tell me before?" ”
Guan Zhu spread his hands and said: "I thought you could see that you would take refuge in him, but Zhou Wenqi said a lot of good things for you, didn't you notice it at the beginning?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "I was very busy. ”
Everyone is down, what does this have to do with being busy, no eyesight is no eyesight.
Zhang Xiaowu took the letter and looked at it carefully, feeling that he didn't understand, and said in his heart that Zhou Wenqi was declaring war on himself? Before the crossing, he studied science, because of the difficulty of ancient literature in liberal arts, this old boy actually used Yawen to write a letter to himself, what is this stinky? He waved the letter, turned to the crowd, and said, "You have also listened to the letter, and have you noticed that it contains an important piece of news?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Xiao Kai suddenly said, "Peace talks? ”
"It's still old Xiao who is smart, only a little inferior to me!" Zhang Xiaowu laughed, Xiao Kai laughed and laughed, and said in his heart, "My lord, you even take advantage of this, Zhang Xiaowu continued: "Peace talks, the imperial court actually wants to negotiate peace with Inuyi, I thought that the emperors of the Holy Han Empire were all hot-headed, thinking that God bestowed wealth and nobility, but I never expected that there would be such a sober emperor." ”
"Emperor Dade." Guan Xiang coughed and reminded.
Zhang Xiaowu said: "Yes, Emperor Dade, although our emperor is young......
"Ahem, ahem......" Guan Xiang interrupted, "Your Majesty is twenty-nine this year, and he is ten years older than you." ”
