Chapter 166: Good Guidance
Leizhou is located in the southernmost part of Chinese mainland, one of the three major peninsulas in the country, with the South China Sea in the east and the Beibu Gulf in the west, protruding in the South China Sea. Facing Hainan Island across the sea in the south, there are affiliated islands such as Donghai Island, Nansan and Jinzhou, which have always been called "Tiannan Heavy Land", and it is also the second largest minefield in the world after Java, and even in winter this area can be heard bursts of thunder, hence the name. Like Hainan Island, in ancient times, it was a place where feudal dynasties degraded their criminals or passed through.
The Leizhou army in the Song Dynasty governed the entire peninsula, which was far away from Qiongzhou and held the strait hostage, which could be said to be the outpost of Qiongzhou's defense to the north and an important buffer zone. Zhao Yu is the envoy of the South Guangxi Road, and the Leizhou Army is of course also within his jurisdiction, if he says that there has been no attempt on it, it is false, but he knows that Guangxi will not be able to hold it with its current strength, but it will become a burden. Therefore, it is better to waste energy and money in vain, it is better to use it in Qiongzhou, and then plan it after the army training is completed, but now Jiang Xuan, a fool and daredevil, has completely disrupted his plan.
Although this position is a temporary position, it is responsible for supervising and supervising local officials, and he is still the governor of the current dynasty and has the power to participate in state affairs and write directly to the emperor. Before, its power was in name only, and even the concurrently served Zhilei Prefecture Army was in name only, and it couldn't set off the storm at all, so Zhao Hao didn't have to take it seriously at all. Now it's different, it's a place with three states, and it's famous, and it's not enough to completely compete with him, but it's a character who can't be easily looked at.
If Zeng Yuanzi is a good person, Zhao Yu doesn't have to worry about it at all, but if he is a wicked person, he can't help but think about it, lest this-stirring stick make the current situation out of control. At present, the most important thing is not to let it usurp the power of Guangxi and prevent it from further strengthening its strength, so as not to lose its tail; The second is to win the support of the imperial court, so that the lost opportunity to enter the court will be slowly cleaned up. It's just how to do it, and you need a proper plan......
"Your Highness, are these things true?" Ying Jieyan was summoned into the palace late at night by His Royal Highness to discuss matters, and when he read the information sent by the Bureau, he was shocked and said. Seeing this, Deng Guangjian hurriedly took it over.
"Sir, there may be some discrepancies in the details of this matter, but it is also a secret that they do not know from outsiders, but fortunately, we finally know the whereabouts of Jiang Yishan and the rear army, and nothing major has happened!" Zhao Hao said vaguely.
What he saw for Ying Jieyan was, of course, carefully edited information, which concealed many details, added things that were well known, and naturally added some material. Zhao Yu was forced to do this, this old man was all fine, if even the details of Jiang Xuan's life were written in it, he would immediately know that His Royal Highness had placed someone around him, and he would immediately think that His Royal Highness would do the same to himself, and the master and apprentice would be disgusted by this, but it was not beautiful.
"Why is Zong Bao so confused, so bold!" Ying Jie said with a strict hatred of iron. As an old minister, he naturally knew that the old Zhao family had always been strict in its control of military power, so as not to repeat the tragedy of the rebellion of the feudal towns in the Han and Tang dynasties, and how many good ministers and famous generals in this dynasty were demoted and even lost their lives, all because of the unauthorized transfer of troops to make the monarch and ministers have a gap, and then lose peace.
"Alas, after I received the report, I was also a governor, and I didn't know how to deal with it for a while, so I asked my husband to come to the house to discuss." Zhao Hao sighed and said.
"How did Your Highness get this news, there will be no mistake!" Jiang Xuan led the rear army to leave, and Ying Jieyan also sent spies to look around, but no one returned, and His Royal Highness was the first to learn, and he felt a little strange.
"Don't tell you, sir, the day after I arrived at Joan, I sent people from the bureau to the sea to look for it, thinking that hundreds of ships and thousands of men and horses would always leave traces and should not be difficult to find, but only today did one person return with serious injuries. He said that after several of them found the whereabouts of the rear army in Gaozhou, they wanted to ask for a document to return, but they didn't expect that there was no entry or exit, only this person had an extra heart and did not go in together to get out, but on the way back, he was chased and killed many times, and he returned with serious injuries, but he finally died of his injuries! Zhao Yu said half-truthfully, even if he wanted to ask someone, the road was blocked for him, and there was no evidence of truth or falsehood.
"That's it, none of the people sent by Shuai Si have returned, could it be that Jiang Yishan has betrayed the Shuai Mansion? But why should he do this! Ying Jieyan said that he knew about the affairs of the Bureau, and it was natural for His Highness to send out to find it, but His Highness knew the news first, and it was impossible for him to deal with it.
"Jiang Yishan has always advocated an advance in Guangxi, so it is not surprising to me that he did so, and he killed the messenger precisely to buy time to break away from the marshal's mansion so that he could gain a firm foothold in Guangxi, so that the imperial court had to recognize his status......" Deng Guangjian said with a grim face. They were both royal teachers, and they were responsible for assisting and teaching His Highness, but they betrayed His Highness, which shocked and angered him.
"Zhongfu and Mo assert that there are still many unclear things." Ying Jieyan raised his hand to stop Deng Guangjian from continuing, he was worried that his words would mislead His Highness, and what he said was indeed not unreasonable. Now it is a troubled time, and there are only 100 people under the grass king, who rob houses and houses, rob some land, and ask the court for officials and salaries, and the court often does not care about what they have done in order to catch these people, and has no time to investigate, so they will give officials and recognize their status, so that the world is full of regimental training envoys and pacification envoys. But to say that Jiang Xuan led the troops out for this reason really made him unbelievable.
"Fu Shuai, the matter is already clear, even if Jiang Yishan expands the territory for the Shuaifu, he can't transfer troops privately from His Highness. And it can also be seen that he acted in the name of the marshal's mansion, tricked the rear army into obeying his orders, and intercepted and killed the messenger before the matter was exposed, and this crime alone was enough to convict the case. "Deng Guang recommended that since he became an honest envoy, he really became a powerful man, and sent two general sentences and three magistrates to prison, and many evil officials under him have also been eliminated. And in the army, he also appeared as a cool official, and he beheaded more than ten generals who violated discipline in a row, killing people with fear, and the sense of justice was bursting, and the words were also full of murder.
"Sir, this king also feels strange about this matter, although Jiang Yishan acts aggressively, he does things in a decent manner, and he has been taught by Jiang Xiang and the palace marshal since he was a child, so he will not do such a thing!" Zhao Yu saw Deng Guangjian say this, the goal has been achieved, and he is also busy expressing his opinion, "I still have some doubts, Jiang Yishan's series of actions are all ...... after meeting this Zeng Yuanzi" (to be continued.) )
