Section 672 Cold
It is normal for the court to use soldiers to assist in the war, and the soldiers and the people march together. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Peach Blossom Mountain Thief Kou is too deceptive.
Of course, this is not because he is afraid that the government will send troops to intercept and pursue him, but that Zhu Wannian wants to cover up his actions as much as possible.
Just to avoid alarming Liang Shan too early, so that the Cangzhao family has time to prepare.
After all, Liangshan's strength is limited, but the Cangzhao family is strong, and if there is time, they can urgently draw forces from Cangzhou to take the canal or reinforce Liangshan in time by sea.
Zhu Wannian didn't know about Zhao Zhuang's "distress and predicament", so he naturally cared about the huge industrial, agricultural and commercial affairs of Cangzhao, which belonged to the extraordinary water transportation capabilities that had been verified by the township and commerce.
The land march, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses and the huge supplies carried dragged down, no matter how fast you rush, you can't avoid slowness, how can a two-legged rush compare with the speed of a slightly longer water transport?
In addition, Zhao Gonglian's official advantage and pivotal position in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty are also a major threat.
Even if the Cangzhao family did not have the strength to transfer manpower from their hometown to protect Liangshan, if they had time to prepare, they could inform the imperial court to calmly force the officials around Liangshan to work together to suppress the bandits.
In this way, the goal of rescuing Liangshan can still be achieved, and it also saves Cangzhao's own trouble and consumption.
An official is an official. A bandit is a bandit. Officials and bandits are not at odds.
At present, the form of the Song Dynasty is extremely severe, the pirates have retreated, and the Halal mountain rogue has tossed the tragic Song Dynasty and then turned to the pirates Similar vicious incidents have become the primary target of the imperial court. The frightened emperor was worried about the resurgence of bandits and thieves, and strictly urged the local governments to strictly prevent and deal with them, and those who violated them were severely punished. And Liangsan is too close to Tokyo, and the news is transmitted quickly.
The government on the road to Liangshan, especially the government around Liangshan, was clearly urged by the imperial court to destroy Liangshan with bandits, and then wanted to completely eradicate the fulcrum of Cangzhao in Liangshanbo after playing the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches, but they had the responsibility to suppress bandits and the pressure of the imperial court, and found a reason to delay it, but they still had to participate in the suppression of bandits with great unwillingness. Otherwise, he was stared at by Cangzhao and participated, and there was no excuse to get rid of the crime, or he played with the yellow sparrow in the back, so that the Taohuashan bandits successfully occupied Liangshanbo and became a big disaster, and the consequences were unpredictable, at least the civil and military officials of the government around Liangshan would be unlucky first, and they would definitely be held accountable. The severity of the handling only depends on the emperor's mood.
The problem is that the perverted and murderous emperor is in a very bad mood at this time.
And the more Zhao Gonglian faced the downfall, the more the emperor wanted to give Zhao Gonglian face to fool and appease.
The punishment is dereliction of duty, and the relevant officials are only afraid of losing their official positions and going home to eat themselves.
The whole Liangshan is for the benefit of the future, if the result is to lose the official and have no future of power, then it is still a fart. Indirectly helping Liangshan fight thieves is the only way out.
This is the benefit of the Cangzhao family still having an officialdom talisman mansion, and it is also the aspect that Zhu Wannian carefully calculated.
Because Erlongshan is the key target of the imperial court led by Cai Jing, its power is second only to Erlongshan, and the bandits of Peach Blossom Mountain, who are even more arrogant than Erlongshan, also attract the attention of the government.
For this group of half-soldiers and half-civilians who urgently went south, the officials along the way were not ignorant people in the countryside, and it was very clear that this was not an officer or soldier chasing thieves across the border, but it was a wandering thief.
The government was even clearer than Gongsun Sheng that the target of the Taohuashan bandits going south was Liangshanbo.
The grudge between the Cangzhao family and the Zhu family's mortal enemies, there is nothing unclear to the government along the way.
At this time, the Zhu family suddenly abandoned the Qingzhou nest, which was most suitable for being a robber, and led the thieves to the south, not to take the opportunity to find Liangshanbo for revenge, what could they do for it?
Could it be that Qingzhou, a place of stable survival, is too comfortable, and the Zhu family has a bad brain, and they collectively go crazy and want to abuse themselves, and take the initiative to move to other places in Shandong to bear the troops sent by the state capitals to exterminate them?
But they naturally pretended to be confused and dumb collectively, and neither sent troops to stop them, nor did they report to the imperial court, allowing this group of people to cross the border at will.
The reason for this is not just as simple as wanting to use thieves to deal with Liangshan.
The might of the pirates and the Halal mountain bandits that swept across the border had frightened the government into a frightened bird.
The subordinate Xiang army was intentionally or unintentionally allowed to defect to the pirates in order to eliminate the difficult internal troubles and the strength of the troops was greatly reduced to varying degrees, and the remaining soldiers except for a very small number of enthusiastic people for the country, they were all rotten troops that pirates did not want, and the newly supplemented box army was either a vicious criminal in the prison, or a civilian ruffian hooligan and villain, and the training time was too short, with such a local army leaving the city to take the initiative to fight tens of thousands of bandits, can you still expect good results?
Don't forget, the rotten army is not qualified to join the pirates, but it is the most qualified and likely to surrender to the rogue as a bandit, and it can still betray the court and become a big disaster for breaking the city and killing officials.
If a large number of criminal officers and soldiers of the new formation took the initiative to respond to the transit bandits and take the opportunity to rebel, it would be an old death.
Along the way, the government is most afraid of this, all day long, like sitting on pins and needles, no matter how fragrant the wine is, I don't dare to drink more, I don't dare to play with the most attractive beauty, I don't dare to take off my clothes when I sleep, I don't dare to sleep steadily, I open my eyes in the middle of the night, I am ready to flee at any time, and I urge the military attache to watch the army and train it all day long, how can I dare to provoke the thieves who cross the border?
The military attaches of the state capitals face the evil faces and eyes of the ruffians and gangsters who are not able to fight for the country but are not evil, but they are two top two, and the days are even more sad, and they are so nervous day and night that they are not leaving, and they are always ready to respond to the rebellion of the new army and the bandits, and they only hate to be able to incarnate as invincible gods and demons to calm the hearts of the army, and also save their lives from being afraid of the border thieves, or they can quickly transfer themselves from here with the gospel from heaven, or there is a fascination Dafa that can make the emperor make this will from afar, and turn his eyes out of this strange and unpredictable danger.
Unfortunately, there is no gospel and no supernatural powers.
The civil and military bureaucrats can only stare at each other.
Of course, during this period, there was no shortage of superstitious and funny officials, who secretly invited Taoist monks to pray for their blessings and cast spells, hoping to use the power of Taoist Buddha to achieve their wishes.
As a result, for a time, various characters who may have supernatural powers became the objects of bureaucratic affection.
Bureaucrats fight to the death. The "man of God" who was so mixed to beg for food could also fly up to the branches at once, full of gold and silver.
In history, the Jin army was killed, and all kinds of ugliness in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty were staged again in advance.
Let's go, let's go, go to the wealthy Liangshan and kill hard, and make your fortune to the fullest.
As long as you don't come to invade my city, you can cross the border however you want. The government (the official) should not know.
This is naturally the voice of all the officials along the way.
However, even if they fell into such an absurd, embarrassing and dangerous situation, these officials still remembered that they were framing the ruler of the country to play infighting, and they were still thinking about using the hands of the robbers to eradicate the Liangshan of the Cangzhao family.
I wish the bandits of Wanniantong have been avoiding the official cities and prosperous places along the way, so they naturally don't know the ugliness staged by the government, but the journey has been smooth, and I can guess what the bureaucrats are thinking.
He was proud that he had calculated the dynamics of the government, and he further saw the weakness and hypocrisy of the government.
In addition, the villages and towns encountered along the way, the domineering big families are gone, the castles and courtyards of the past are empty, and the population has changed from prosperous to extremely sparse, and some even run away from the villagers, obviously either to join the pirates or to be killed by the official army, he also realized that the Great Song Dynasty was already a foreign power and a middle cadre was about to fall, and he was full of confidence and desire to occupy Liangshan and make a grand plan to overthrow the Song Dynasty and even become the emperor.
This side of Erlong Mountain.
Gongsun Sheng let the Zhu family go to Liangshan, but he had to remind him as soon as possible to prevent it.
He quietly returned home to confess, and Yang Bao, who was not only an apprentice of the poisonous snake arrow Wan Danian, but also an agent specially placed in Erlong Mountain, hurriedly sent a telegram to inform Liang Shan.
No, Xiao Yang Bao smiled and nodded to indicate that he had been notified.
This kid is really clever and sharp enough, no wonder he can enter Zhao Yue's eyes and take on a heavy responsibility at such a young age.
Gongsun Sheng felt a strong team tacit understanding, stroked his beard and smiled with relief, and then relieved what to do.
And Liangshan's side has always attached importance to intelligence collection, and I don't know when the Taohuashan bandits will leave Qingzhou, but they also feel that Zhu Jiazi is leading the bandits south, and I am afraid that their intentions are not good.
After learning the warning from Erlong Mountain, Zhu Gui, who was in charge of Liangshan's intelligence, knew that the remaining robbers in Taohua Mountain were all bandits and were not so easy to fight, and Liangshan was facing the first dangerous challenge, so he hurriedly found He Xuantong, the Taoist military advisor who presided over Liangshan, to convene the leaders to discuss countermeasures, and immediately sent a report to inform Zhao Yue on Zhao Zhuang's side.
After Zhao Yue blackmailed and frightened Zheng Juzhong a lesson, he returned to his hometown to accompany his grandmother Ning, laughing and relieving boredom to make the old man happy, which was not only filial piety, but also a rest to relieve the tense nerves that had been tense these days.
He is not iron-clad, and he is also tired and panicked, so he will preside over the follow-up of the village by the way, so as to avoid the grandmother who is in charge of the house from working hard and affecting his health.
The entire summer harvest program is over.
The rest was to bully the Song Dynasty with the benefit of the fleet, and there was no coastal defense, and along the rivers and rivers, they went deep into the interior of the Great Song Dynasty to receive the defected people and deserters, and no longer attacked the government and landed and looted.
After experiencing the last time the imperial court "actively cooperated with the immigrants", it was expected that the follow-up work would not need to be specially reminded and arranged by Zhao Yue, and the empire would seize the opportunity to continue to operate.
The empty Cangzhou was empty and there were people in a short time.
The first to be replenished were the people of the four military states in Cangbei.
This is Zhao Gonglian's previous pretext that the Liao army was attacking the north and there was a big war, and he mobilized the people to move south in advance so quickly.
In wartime, it is customary for the people in the area to relocate to avoid military disasters.
Zhao Gonglian intended to mobilize the people of Cangbei to go south to replenish the population of Cangzhou, and those officials sent by the emperor to supervise did not know the inside story, and Zhao Gonglian was able to do it reasonably and legally.
There's nothing wrong with that.
In fact, even the emperor's eyeliner was busy moving his family away. He couldn't leave his own duties, but he also had to prevent the unpredictable war from worsening and harming his family.
With the tacit cooperation of the Xin'an Army, the Qianning Army and the main civil and military forces of Jizhou Prefecture, the families of the soldiers of the Cangbei Fourth Army Prefecture are the main force in moving south, and they all take the initiative to run the territory of the Cangzhao family.
It's not that the families of the soldiers know that Zhao Gonglian is rebelling, and even the children of their families who are soldiers don't know about it, how can they know to go?
Collectively consciously defecting to Cangzhao is naturally an emotional matter.
The children of the family fight for the Hou Ye, and they can be regarded as the Hou Ye's soldiers. (The people at the border pass are far away from the imperial court, they can't feel the emperor's kind authority, they rely on the protection of the border officials, and they are accustomed to thinking that they are contributing to the border officials, and recognize that the border officials are far superior to the court, even if the officials are not good people.) Forced by reality, the little people have no choice, and this atmosphere has been formed for a long time. This is also the reason why the imperial court is particularly afraid of the Western army. Hou Ye is also a good official who protects the calf, and he loves the soldiers and cares about the survival of the families of the soldiers.
The little people left their hometowns, had no roots and no support, went to Cangzhou blind, and had no money to be wanted, and it was a burden to get involved, and no one wanted to accept it if they wanted to take refuge in others.
This is the misery and helplessness of the people in the midst of war. It is already a very lucky thing to have a target like Cangzhao to rely on.
As a result, when the people of Cangbei arrived in Cangzhou, they saw that they were also suffering here, and there were a lot of fixed assets of fields waiting for people to occupy in vain, so why should they go back to Cangbei, which is more dangerous and bitter cold?
The vast majority of people don't leave when they come.
Too many people, including the families of the Cangbei soldiers, preferred to choose Cangzhao, and would rather be tenants of the Hou Ye's family than free people, but this is because free people are the main tax and labor objects of the imperial court, and the burden is heavy and even fatal.
The cheapness of the government is not easy to touch, and those ownerless fields are not really so easy that they are so white that they are all at once.
The Hou Ye's family does not pay taxes, and the subordinate tenants generally do not have to serve labor, and the rent is much lighter than that of the government.
The Cangzhao family is a well-known benevolent and kind family, not only does not knock the bones and suck the marrow of the tenants, but also has difficulties to help the difficult and the hard, the sick have doctors, the old and the old, and the Cangzhao tenants still have protection and even dignity, and do not have to suffer from the cowardice and violence of the officials.
In the past, it was limited to full people, and I couldn't squeeze in if I wanted to be a tenant, but now it's okay, this person is gone, and I can be a person, how can I not fight?
This reflects another bitter and helpless situation of the small people in feudal society. When the slaves and tenants of the powerful families have to fight for their heads.
As a result, Zhao Yue was pleased to see that the family's territory was soon filled with population, and the crops that were left untended were carefully cultivated, and there were enough manpower available.
But there were too many people who came to vote, and the families of the nearly 100,000 Cangbei soldiers who were in groups alone could not be arranged. Zhao Yue took the opportunity to find an excuse to remove the people who blindly listened to the command.
Anyway, Zheng Juzhong was bent on appreciating the emperor for transferring him back to the central government as a high-ranking official, and he was ridiculously waiting for the Holy Grace to leave Cangzhou as soon as the decree arrived, feeling that Cangzhou had nothing to do with him, and he had no intention of taking care of the mess in Cangzhou anymore, not to mention the difficult and tricky civil affairs that were rare and good, and he was not able to manage them. Shi Fu Lian, on the other hand, was busy controlling and training the newly replenished rotten army, and wanted to seize the time to improve his defense, for fear that the pirates or Liao Kou would come to retaliate again in the blink of an eye, and he could only wait for death. The old judge is his own person, and the other officials are gone. At this time, no one in the government sent spies to monitor the fleeing people, and yes, they also died out with chaos under the sophisticated and mature methods of stealing the people.
Therefore, we can let go and steadily remove the families of the Cangbei soldiers after strict examination in batches.
At this time, Zhao Yue received a telegram.
Zhu Cheng feels that his wings are stiff and the time has come, and he wants to take Liangshan by force?
Zhao Yue's eyes lit up with a cold glow.
