Just when Zhao Yue threatened Cai Jing's protégé, Daojun Zhao Ji received a twist from Zhao Gonglian.

Of course not Cai Jing's.

Zhao Gonglian is not an immortal, and he didn't know that his younger brother was doing something again, but he applied for transfer.

After several years of governance and rectification, the Cangzhou army has been able to withstand a big war and can take on the heavy task of defending the border, the fortress under the rule of Cangzhou is strong, the people are loyal and brave, and they are not afraid of the invasion of Liao thieves, Cangzhou has no worries about security, and the mission of the minister in Cangzhou has been completed, and he wants to lead his army to the northernmost frontier defense of the most dangerous situation, the most complex and the most stable need for stability.

Zhao Gonglian said that the Cangzhou army commanded Shi Jiazi Shi Fu Lian is quite familiar with the way of governing the army, and has the courage to do things, if he stays in Cangzhou, he can reorganize the dismantled Lanzhou forbidden army, and it is more than enough to guard Cangzhou today. The saint only needs to transfer a capable civil servant to continue to govern and prosper Cangzhou's economy.

In addition, he also said: He Guan, the former Cangzhou Zhizhou Divine Arrow General, is full of skills and is full of loyalty and patriotism, and it is a pity that the minister heard that he went to the Western Army but was trapped there by intertwined relationships. The minister recommended him to serve as the chief general of the Jizhou Army, on the one hand, to give full play to his ability to manage the army to strengthen the northern border defense, and on the other hand, to comfort the ambition of the loyal and righteous veteran to serve the country.

In addition, the Western Army has Han Zong, Lei Yanxing, and the three generals of Qishi also have the ability to command the army, and have rich experience in fighting the Xia Liaoma military thieves. Among them, the saint and the saint can naturally see it clearly.

Han Zong, Lei Yanxing. Who is Qishi too?

The Western Army has a lot of talents, why did Zhao Gonglian only mention these three generals?

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than Zhao Yue's historical feelings.

These three will be in the Battle of Tokyo. and He Guan, who was also in the year of the sixtieth year, fought to the death and did not retreat, and sacrificed the loyal and righteous people under the butcher's knife of the Jin Army. Now that you are in your forties, you are available, and you are indeed talented.

In the end, Zhao Gonglian said impassionedly: When the minister left Beijing to take up his post, he was grateful for the kindness of the saint, and vowed to train an army that dared to fight and could fight, and saw the golden opportunity of the Jin and Liao rivalries. Don't dare to wantonly use tyrannical orcs to attack.

Our Great Song Dynasty has a large population, and many places in the interior have no land to distribute for cultivation, and are overcrowded. The north rejects the Great Wall and other strong defense lines, and from then on, the northern savages and barbarians can't wantonly Koubian, why worry that my Great Song Dynasty can't survive for thousands of years? The wisdom and benevolence of the Holy One will also shock and move the world.

Future generations enjoy peace and happiness, how can they not be grateful for their sacred deeds when they worship their ancestors during the festive season?

Wechen is fortunate to have the upper tail wing. You can also get some good names, and your descendants can be happy.

When the golden urn is complete, the northern harm will not exist. Wechen should have been tired at that time, and I hope that the saint can understand Wechen's daily missing. He returned to Kyoto to serve the Holy Lord, and he also enjoyed some relaxation and peace.

Zhao Gonglian's application for transfer out of his hometown had a variety of considerations.

Avoiding suspicion is only one thing.

The main reason is that Cangzhou's geographical location and political status determine that it is impossible to have too many troops. At present, the 5,000 regular army and 3,000 capable Xiang army, a total of 8,000 soldiers and horses, is already the greatest trust given by Zhao Ji.

With more than ten years of prestige and efforts in the family, Cangzhou has quietly become his own territory, and he has personally governed and rectified it for several years, and now he has been rectifying it to an iron plate.

The middle and low-level personnel of the government are basically the peripheral personnel of the Cangzhao group, although few of these officials know the true identity and purpose of Cangzhao, but to protect Cangzhao is to safeguard his own interests, and his heart is naturally towards the Zhao family. Most of the local tyrants who led the people in various places were planted and supported by Cangzhao.

That is to say, no matter who parachutes in to be the governor of the prefecture and county, as long as it does not harm the interests of Cangzhao, it will respond to every call, and everyone under the rule of his subordinates will cooperate, but in fact, it will be hollowed out and will not change anything.

Under the protection of Zhao Gonglian, the family has safely passed the hidden danger period of the core secrets and the overall relocation of the force, the population is easy to replenish, and the new armed force to defend the homeland has been formed.

Zhao Gonglian had no room to play in his hometown any longer, so he only added more suspicion and attention.

And the border guard states are not the same as the mainland.

Military state, military state, with the military as the mainstay, and governance as the secondary. Other state capitals, including the sub-border state of Cangzhou, are still dominated by governance, supplemented by the military. In order to respond to the needs of operations in a timely manner, the authority of the number one commander must be prominent.

Except for the necessary containment to prevent betrayal, all affairs of the military state are carried out around the will of the military governor.

Zhao Gonglian went to the forefront of Lanzhou, facing the Great Liao Nanjing, always threatened by the Liao army from three sides and six directions, the official position has not been improved in the slightest, but the real power has been greatly increased, there are 30,000 or 40,000 regular troops in peacetime, and even more in wartime, let you be the supervising imperial envoy, the three Cao officers have to follow the order, otherwise with Zhao Gonglian's current status, find an excuse to delay the military plane and disturb the morale of the army.

The key is that the military supplies on the border are piled up, and they are not wasted in vain if they are idle, and they may even strengthen the enemy cheaply. The family conquered the South China Sea Islands and urgently needed these equipment to supplement the military and civilian forces stationed on the islands. At that time, taking advantage of the war, he had his own way to let the Jeju Island army take it away.

recommended Shi Fulian to stay in Cangzhou, but Zhao Gonglian was disgusted with this person and took the opportunity to get rid of it.

This person is pure and noble, loyal to the royal family, will not be an official and does not want to do things, afraid of death, unwilling to endure hardships, no matter how he can't cover his heart, he is a two-skinned face who is bent on following the merits and qualifications of the mixed army.

In the name of piracy, the Cangzhao army continued to plunder along the coast from the northernmost Jin army to the southern end of the Great Song Dynasty.

Cangzhou is also known as Henghai County, there is a separate column of Henghai Navy under its rule, originally only two commands of 1,000 people responsible for guarding the Beihai Frontier to fight pirates, in fact, it has long been rotten, people can not fight, they are all bastards who do free volunteers for officials, and there are few boats that can only be used, Zhao Gonglian is in charge of Cangzhou, rectifies the Henghai Navy, and applies for expansion to more than 3,000 soldiers on the grounds of strengthening coastal defense, and re-equips warships.

With the money of the Great Song Dynasty, it is justified to strengthen the power of his own family, and anyone will calculate this account.

Now that this fruit is ripe, if it is to be taken away and used, Cangzhou also needs to be invaded by powerful pirates to cover up people's eyes, so let Henghai lose it in the hands of Shi Fu Lian, and let this two-skinned face bear the charge.

If you don't do anything, it's not okay to just mix credit and get cheap without paying the price.

Of course, Zhao Gonglian would only pat Shi Fulian's shoulder and say: "We have worked together for many years, how to train and strengthen the army, you can also see it, and you can train good soldiers." You can be an official, but you don't dare to do anything, which is not good. If you want to restore and revitalize the glory of the Shi family's ancestors, you have to rely on hard achievements, so that others can speak for you with confidence. You have to do solid work and take on the heavy responsibilities alone. ”

"The people of Cangzhou are now brave, the force is considerable, the countryside of the county and the border fortress are strong and dependable, and the Liaokou of Mozhou is coming, you just need to hold on to the state city without losing the credit."

In this way, in Shifu Lian's heart, Zhao Gonglian left him but gave him the opportunity to make contributions independently. Although he really wanted to continue to follow Zhao Gonglian step by step easily, he could only be grateful to stay.

Zhao Gonglian's performance also implies a layer of meaning, or finally giving Zhao Ji a chance.

If Daojun reins in the precipice at this time, lifts his spirits to get rid of erosion, rectifies the rule of officials, and keeps the people from becoming more miserable, although he still wants to be the king of the dead country, Cangzhao will not let him be tortured by the Jin army, at least he can ensure that he can be his painter leisurely in his later years, and his name in history will not be so unbearable.

But Daojun is already addicted, and he is reluctant to give up the erosive enjoyment with that understanding and reflection.

After watching the recital many times, Daojun felt that Zhao Gonglian showed closeness and longing for him in serious respect, and Zhao Gonglian did make dazzling achievements, living up to expectations, and he was in a good mood.

(Cangzhou's taxes fell sharply, Zhao Ji knew that Yang Jian's selfishness was the cause, and the leader and those jealous and greedy magnates cut off Cangzhao's trade routes in the south, coupled with the rampant pirates and difficult shipping, resulting in the large-scale closure of Cangzhao's workshops, unable to support the tax areas.) It is no wonder that Zhao Gonglian's governance is unfavorable, but he should be praised for still putting national affairs first in this situation. It's Yang Jian and those who hate it)

Daojun carefully analyzed this transfer application, and was moved by Zhao Gonglian's selflessness and ambition, and finally eliminated the suspicion in his heart, and no longer listened to the discussion and participation of officials.

Tong Guan He Guan and other capable officials installed by the imperial court to control the Western Army, no matter how hard they struggled and worked hard, they could not fundamentally change the fact that the Western Army was a semi-independent kingdom, which made the helpless Daojun always linger, and saw He Guan's embarrassment and Tong Guan's embarrassment in Zhao Gonglian's twists and turns, Daojun was particularly stinging.

Just to strengthen the defense of the northern border and let Zhao Gonglian train a strong army that can balance the western army, it must also be supported.

Daojun has made a preliminary decision, and asked Liang Shicheng to investigate the situation of Han Zong, Lei Yanxing, and the three generals of Qishi, and he has to report the same low ability and loyalty as Zhao Gonglian's report, in fact, it has nothing to do with Cangzhao, it is not that Zhao Gonglian wants to promote his own people, Daojun is completely decided.

At the court meeting, Li Bangyan, the prodigal prime minister who had been promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng, was the first to come out in agreement. He hated Zhao Gonglian to die outside, since he took the initiative to guard the border and be satisfied. (To be continued......)
