Chapter 1430: Precursor to the Great Raid
The fleet had sailed into the Yellow River, and Li Zhongyi stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his heart somewhat fluctuating.
The Southern Tang Dynasty and Wu Yue were destroyed successively, and the Central Plains region seemed to have been unified, but there were still two secession regimes in the whole world, one was the Liu Han regime in Jinyang, and the other was the Mengjia in Western Shu.
Among them, the Liu Han regime in Jinyang, close to the support of the Khitans, has been an enemy of the Central Plains regime for a long time, and its arrogance is also abnormally arrogant, which is listed by Li Zhongyi as a priority solution.
After all, the Liu Han regime in Jinyang colluded with foreign enemies to bring disaster to the Central Plains, which was a problem for his henchmen.
As for Meng Chang in Xishu, Li Zhongyi actually doesn't particularly care, the main reason is that Li Zhongyi really knows Meng Chang's temper and temperament well.
Meng Chang, this kid, has no ambitions, and he just wants to keep his Shu country. Otherwise, at the beginning, Meng Chang would not have sold Li Zhongyi to Chai Rong in order to gain space for self-preservation.
Of course, Li Zhongyi also knew very well in his heart that as long as he sent troops to attack the small court of Liu Han in Jinyang, the contractor would definitely take action.
Yelu Hugo is not an ordinary person, he naturally sees it very clearly, and when Li Zhongyi takes the small court of Jinyang, the Khitans will be driven out of the defense line of the old Great Wall as a whole.
The Khitans are a people on horseback, and if Li Zhongyi completely masters the defense line of the Great Wall, they will definitely be in an extremely disadvantageous passive position.
Li Zhongyi also saw very clearly that the defense line of the old Great Wall was actually a strategic line that Yelu Hugo must protect, and as long as the Qiang Han Dynasty launched an attack on Liu Han in Jinyang, the Khitans would definitely be involved.
Therefore, the Battle of Jinyang must be another strategic decisive battle between Li Zhongyi and Yelu Huge!
"Your Majesty, you're tired of standing, can you sit down for a while?" Han Xianglan diligently moved the brocade stool and put it next to Li Zhongyi's lap.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, he had been standing for more than two hours, he didn't feel it just now, but now he felt that his legs and feet were a little sore.
Li Zhongyi sat on the brocade stool, reached out and took Han Xianglan into his arms, and rested it on his lap.
Han Xianglan consciously hooked the man's neck with both hands, nestled in the man's arms, and refused to move.
Li Zhongyi couldn't help but smile when he saw that women were so knowledgeable and interesting, he liked Hui Zhilanxin, a beauty like a flower.
Han Xianglan held her breath in her heart, she had to give birth to a little prince as soon as she was still young. Otherwise, with old age and decay, is there a place for her Han Xianglan in the deep palace?
How to say, the more people who read more, especially highly educated women, the more ideas they have.
Han Xianglan was born in the wealthy Han family in Youzhou, she has accepted the study of emperors and generals since she was a child, she has seen the battle of swords and swords, and she is used to being abandoned by men in old age and decay.
The most typical example is Han Xianglan's mother-in-law, Han Kuangsi's wife, and Mrs. Liu.
When Mrs. Liu was young, she looked like a flower and moon, and she was extraordinarily peugeot, and Han Kuangsi took a lot of effort to marry Mrs. Liu into the door.
However, no matter how beautiful a woman is, there will always be a day when her color decays, and Mrs. Liu is no exception.
At that time, Mrs. Liu, who was over forty years old, still had charm. However, Han Kuangsi has already empathized and accepted two beautiful concubines in a row.
Based on the painful lesson, Han Xianglan's man is the lustful Li Zhongyi, and she really doesn't have much confidence in how long the man's favor can last.
Li Zhongyi hugged the woman, thought about it for a while, and saw that Han Xianglan hadn't spoken, so he asked her, "Why don't you speak?" ”
Han Xianglan secretly rolled her eyes, and said in her heart, your sadness and sorrow, nostalgia for the past, how dare she disturb without authorization?
Li Zhongyi's question was so reasonable, but Han Xianglan couldn't help but answer, so she had to say timidly: "Your Majesty, the concubine wants a son." ”
Li Zhongyi couldn't help laughing, this woman is really smart, she obviously wants to cater to his bad taste, but she got to the bed in a roundabout way, and she is worthy of being the daughter of the Han family.
Han Xianglan wants to have a son, Li Zhongyi actually knows, but she has served the pillow a lot of times, and her stomach has never moved, so it seems that he can't blame him, right?
After the fleet entered the Yellow River from the mouth of Binzhou, the speed of the voyage naturally slowed down because Li Zhongyi did not have the bad habit of requisitioning the people's husbands to pull fibers.
Slow down, slow down, anyway, it's not slow, in short, in a word, it's better to march slower than to disturb the people.
After all, Li Zhongyi is the soul of modern people, and his people-oriented thinking is much stronger than anyone in this era!
The requisition of slender men is a common vice of the government along the rivers in this era, which disturbs the people.
In fact, the requisition of slender men is a variant of the servitude of the grass people. Not only did the slender man have to work as a coolie, but he also had to bring his own sleeping utensils and dry food, and if he moved a little slowly, he would be whipped or scolded by the officers, which could be described as miserable.
After Li Zhongyi ascended the throne, except for building roads, bridges and dams, the local government was prohibited from requisitioning people's power.
The reason why there is no complete ban on forced labor is mainly because of the construction of bridges and paving roads and other public welfare undertakings, which are indeed huge investments and require the active participation of all the people.
However, in the public works of building bridges and dams, all the labor force that worked was paid by the imperial court for food and paid for the journey. This prohibits to the greatest extent the abuse of local vices of the people.
In this era, due to the special convenience of levying and issuing conscription, magistrates could pat their heads and let the grass people serve as conscripts, but there was no restraint mechanism.
Therefore, there is often a saying among the people that the suffering of forced labor is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea!
After Li Zhongyi ascended the throne, he decisively abolished the policy of free conscription and forced labor, which was indeed a major good governance that was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and won the unanimous support of the people.
To put it bluntly, people-oriented, this is the foundation of the Li family's strong Han Dynasty, and we must unswervingly adhere to it!
As the saying goes, men want women to be separated by mountains, and women want men to be separated by yarn.
When Li Zhongyi woke up from his deep sleep, it was already dark, he glanced at Han Xianglan, who was still asleep, and couldn't help but smile slightly: It's not as delicious as dumplings, it's not as fun as a, this is really true!
When the fleet sailed to Bozhou, Li Zhongyi received an urgent letter of 800 miles from Zuo Ziguang.
In the capital, there have always been people who disobey Li Zhongyi's rule, and Li Zhongyi has known it for a long time.
But the problem is that these people dare to trouble Li Zhongyi again and again without even mastering a single soldier, which is completely beyond Li Zhongyi's expectations.
Who gave these people the confidence to make trouble? Li Zhongyi has always been a little puzzled.
What made Li Zhongyi laugh was that the old generals who had lost their authority in the court, they were all ruthless, and they didn't dare to stab at all, and they were at the mercy of Li Zhongyi.
The martial artists only recognize their fists, whoever has a hard fist is the uncle, and the attitude of being willing to gamble and lose is also extraordinarily upright.
Objectively speaking, after Li Zhongyi took control, the ministers lost much more power than the generals!
As far as the foundation of the Li family is concerned, the army has always been strictly constrained by regulations, absolutely not allowed to move, and has also adapted to the basic principle of separation of powers and checks and balances, so the army is as stable as Mount Tai.
However, since the beginning of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Wenchen forces, which have gradually grown and grown, are extremely untamed and repeatedly want to show Li Zhongyi.
The core of this, in Li Zhongyi's own view, is mainly that the Confucian scholars are unable to influence his own decision-making, and they have a distant relationship with his heirs.
Readers look at problems in the long term. If Li Zhongyi turns the "bad habit" of the heir not worshipping Confucianism into a tradition, the power base of the Wenchen group will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Therefore, when Zuo Ziguang sent a letter, Li Zhongyi thought about it a little, and approved eight big characters on the letter: Eliminate evil, don't be in vain, don't indulge!
Zuo Ziguang soon received the reply, he has always been jealous and hateful, and has always advocated the elimination of evil.
Since he got the Shang Fang sword given by Li Zhongyi, Zuo Ziguang unequivocally asked Li Yanqing and Li Yunxiao to meet.
This time, the place of meeting was about to be in the left office of the Ti Qi Division. The main duty of the Cavalry Division is to arrest key criminals and crack down on retrogrades. To put it bluntly, it is the executive organ of the Tiqi Division.
In the police temple, Li Yanqing has a lot of miscellaneous affairs, he promised to meet in two hours, Li Yunxiao happened to have little to do today, so he arrived at the left office of the Tiqi Division early.
After Li Yunxiao entered the gate, he saw Zuo Ziguang, who was dressed in white, standing at the bottom of the steps with a smile.
"Haha, Brother Jiangming, I've heard, you want to do a big job?" Li Yunxiao said haha and Zuo Ziguang saw each other.
Zuo Ziguang said with a smile: "I have few people on hand, and the so-called big work must need your full support." ”
Li Yunxiao laughed again and said, "The emperor has issued a secret edict, how dare I not listen to your Zuo Jiangming's dispatch?" ”
Everyone is an old brother, Zuo Ziguang is one of Li Zhongyi's close disciples, and Li Yunxiao is the confidant of Li Zhongyi's henchmen, and their status is roughly the same, and they are not polite.
is still the old rule, Zuo Ziguang prepared a few side dishes with wine in the small black room, and a jar of "Zhuangyuan Red".
Li Yunxiao entered the house and saw the "Champion Red" of the jar of special brews, and couldn't help but smile slightly, don't look at Zuo Ziguang is a high-powered Commander of the Tiqi Division, he wants to legally get this kind of special brewed "Champion Red", in fact, it is not easy.
This special brewed "champion red" is under the direct jurisdiction of Huang Jingsheng, and without the strips he approved, even if it is the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, he can't get half a cup.
Who is Huang Jingsheng? That is Li Zhongyi's only two righteous brothers, the high-ranking and powerful third envoy, that is, Li Zhongyi's money bag.
Don't look at Zuo Ziguang in front of others, his momentum is shocking, and he is alive and well from the existence of King Yama, but in front of Huang Jingsheng, there is really no way to put on a score.
Li Yunxiao honestly poured a glass of wine, raised her neck and drank it all, wiped her lips, and sighed: "Happy, happy, really happy, it's a good wine!" ”
Zuo Ziguang smiled slightly, this operation requires a lot of efforts from the Admiral of Jiumen and the Yamen of the Police Temple, otherwise, he would not be willing to take out the special brewed "Zhuangyuan Red" to entertain Li Yunxiao and Li Yanqing.
