Section 237 Gongsun Jingsheng's conspiracy
The next day, officials with servants, escorting 1,000 oxen and 500 horses, arrived in Xinfeng.
The mighty herd of livestock immediately alarmed the entire Xinfeng.
Countless people looked at the animals suspiciously.
Many people don't even understand, why does this new Zhang Xianzun have so many livestock?
To be reasonable, even if he goes to Chang'an City to get a batch of iron tools!
The servant official who was responsible for escorting the livestock was the former retainer of Prime Minister Sun He, and now Chenghua Yuan's supervisor Cheng Guang.
"Zhang Shizhong, please count it, and then sign and sign for it......" Cheng Guang looked at Zhang Yue with a smile in his eyes.
This made Zhang Yue a little confused.
To be reasonable, this is too much of a servant, I'm afraid I already hate myself to the bone.
Especially the servant Qing Gongsun Jingsheng, I'm afraid I can't wait to tear myself, right?
But, why is the efficiency of the Taifu Qing Yamen so high?
As soon as this official document was received in his hand, the servant immediately transferred the livestock without even half a minute of delay!
I'm afraid I'm going to break through the sky!
Zhang Yue remembered very well that at the beginning, Li Ling was ordered to lead his troops to attack from Juyan.
The Son of Heaven ordered the Imperial Servant Qing to transfer war horses in time and subordinate them to Li Ling's department.
But the Taifu Qing Yamen was procrastinating, and in the end, Li Ling waited in Juyan for almost two months.
Not to mention the war horses, I didn't see a single horse hair, so I had no choice but to bite the bullet and go out with infantry.
In the end, the Huns were blocked in the mountains and valleys of Junji Mountain, and the army was defeated and captured.
If it was at the beginning, Tai Fuqing's efficiency could be one-tenth, or even one percent.
Why was Li Ling forced to go barefoot, and was blocked in Junji Mountain?
The troops of the whole cavalry, even if they can't be defeated, can calmly retreat.
"I'm afraid there's fraud in this!" Zhang Yue had to tread carefully.
So, with Chen Wannian, Zhao Guo and Liu Jin's entourage, it took a morning to carefully count all the livestock.
A thousand cows, five hundred horses, and forty-five calves and dozens of mares were not less.
What's even more exaggerated is that the Taifu Qing Yamen is even fully equipped with veterinarians and shepherds to take care of these cattle and horses.
There are a total of fifteen veterinarians, all of whom are veterans of the Taifuqing Yamen, and old men who have been engaged in animal husbandry for twenty or thirty years.
With these veterinarians, the health of this group of livestock can be basically guaranteed.
What made Zhang Yue even more unexpected was that the servant also allocated more than 30 herdsmen.
All of them are Guiyi Hu people who have surrendered to Chengcheng and have high animal husbandry skills.
They are technical immigrants before the Western Yuan Dynasty, and they are the treasures of the servants.
The thirty-six stables of the servants are basically taken care of by these people.
This made Zhang Yue's doubts and doubts even stronger.
Gongsun He's father and son have been in charge of the Han Taifu Yamen for twenty or thirty years, and they are deeply rooted, and they have almost turned the Taifu into their own ATM.
The servants and officials are either members of the Gongsun family or dogs of the Gongsun family.
And today's servant Sun Jingsheng is even more notoriously cautious.
Can he be so kind?
Zhang Yue absolutely did not believe that there was no conspiracy in this.
However, he carefully inspected the herd, there was nothing wrong, all the livestock, both cattle and horses, were healthy.
Moreover, the male and female ratio of cattle and horses is also very reasonable.
Basically, there is one male with ten females.
Even the calves and foals looked alive and well, and there was no disease.
As for veterinarians and herders, their files are also normal.
All have a lot of experience and good ability.
"This Gongsun Jingsheng, what kind of ecstasy is the gourd selling?" Zhang Yue couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't bother to think about it.
The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth.
If his grandson Jingsheng wants to make a ghost in this matter, he will always show his feet!
So, with a wave of his hand, Zhao Guo took the veterinarians and herdsmen to drive the herd of livestock to a valley outside Xinfeng City and temporarily put them in captivity.
And plan to wait for Yuan Guangguo's investment to be in place, so he will first establish a livestock ranch in Xinfeng.
…………………………
After Cheng Guang signed by Zhang Yue and confirmed the receipt of this batch of livestock, he thanked him happily and left with his entourage.
I was so happy.
can be from Zhang Chiyou's hands, safe and sound, and retreat with his whole body.
How lucky!
You must know that in today's Chang'an, the murderous reputation of this 'Zhang Chiyou' is even more brutal than before.
Because, it is said that the servant of the monk Ma Tong shot Ma Holuo, trying to take this 'Zhang Chiyou' to sue the Son of Heaven in front of the Son of Heaven about the reform of the official selection method in Xinfeng.
As a result, 'Zhang Chiyou' didn't become black, but he was extremely unlucky.
Not only was he punched and kicked by the Son of Heaven and scolded.
Even the posts of lieutenant and servant officer were lost.
Ma Kunzhong, who was once prominent for a while, was removed from the list of high-level Han family leaders!
What's even more terrifying is that the Ma brothers heard that they were even deprived of their palace registration!
Zhang Chiyou's ferocity has become more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Cheng Guang has a brother who is an official in Jing Zhaoyin, and when this brother heard about this, he was so frightened that he was so frightened that he was lucky to obey Jing Zhaoyin's order and did not come to get involved in Xinfeng's affairs.
As a result, this Xinfeng has now become a black hole and a forbidden place in the eyes of the nobles and ministers of Chang'an.
Many people tell their children to go out and mess around casually, but if anyone goes to Xinfeng to mess around and is caught by 'Zhang Chiyou', don't think about going to the house to catch people.
Ask for your own blessings!
Many ministers and nobles who originally had some friendship with some of Xinfeng's rich landowners have even been busy cutting off and cutting their relationship with Xinfeng's rich landowners in the past few days.
It's almost nameless: Zhang Chiyou, I can't afford to provoke it anyway, and I don't dare to provoke it, you will die and suffer it yourself, don't bother me!
Under this trend, people from various yamen in Chang'an will come to Xinfeng for business and regard it as a daunting road.
Just kidding, in case you accidentally offend this Zhang Chiyou.
People backhanded a small report to the Son of Heaven, isn't that dead?
Besides, people don't need to make a small report to the Son of Heaven now.
All you need to do is write a letter to your boss and say: so-and-so is a jerk.
Yes, don't think about promotion in this life.
Maybe, he will be assigned to some poor rural areas such as Jiaozhi and Southwest Yi, and he will not be able to return to Chang'an in this life.
Cheng Guang had no choice but to take this trip.
Therefore, during the entire handover process, he was scared, for fear that if he did something wrong, he would be knocked out by 'Zhang Chiyou'.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Yue signed, he immediately led people away.
Almost trotted all the way, ran back to Chang'an City, went straight to the Taifu Yamen, and asked the Taifu Gongsun Jingsheng to pay the errand.
……………………………………
"This one is heavy, it's really young and vigorous, I don't know how thick the sky is!" Gongsun Jingsheng was very proud to hold the handover documents in his hand, and he was about to dance.
"I have allocated you so many livestock, but I want you to see if you can afford to raise them!" Gongsun Jingsheng laughed proudly.
The eldest grandson found Empress Wei, and Empress Wei gave him an order, ordering the imperial servant Yamen to allocate hundreds of cattle and horses to escort Xinfeng to support the eldest grandson.
At first, Gongsun Jingsheng refused.
Why should you give livestock to your enemies?
But it only took him one night to figure it out, and he immediately doubled the size of his livestock!
He also personally ordered his confidants to carefully select cattle and horses from the best pastures controlled by the Taifu Yamen.
If it weren't for the fear of being returned, Gongsun Jingsheng would even want to stuff thousands of cattle and horses over.
Even so, he tried his best to send the best veterinarians and the best herdsmen from the Taifu Yamen under the pretext of 'selecting capable and good officials for the eldest grandson', and stuffed Xinfeng.
This is a Yang Mou!
Naked impotence!
Didn't you Zhang Zizhong want livestock?
This official is a servant, dedicated to public service, of course, he will not make ghosts.
It must be to choose the best livestock, the best veterinarians, the best herdsmen, and I am afraid that His Royal Highness the eldest grandson will not be enough.
More than double the size of the herd!
In this way, who can find fault with him?
As for Xinfeng, as long as he accepts the livestock and personnel he deployed, it is equivalent to falling into a trap.
These 1,000 cows and 500 horses are all big stomachs!
They have to eat dozens or even hundreds of stones of feed every day.
Just feed money, at least tens of thousands of dollars a day will be spent!
Then, the fifteen veterinarians, all good officials of the Imperial Servant Yamen, had been in the profession for twenty or thirty years, and each of them received a monthly salary of 1,600 yuan, plus a stone of corn and a horse of cloth.
This is still the basic treatment.
Not to mention the herders!
These are all Guiyi Hu people!
Moreover, it is Gongsun Jingsheng specially selected from the Chenghua stable to return to the righteous Hu people!
People are, of course, the best herdsmen, and even the best herdsmen that the Han family can have now.
In the entire Taifu Yamen, I am afraid that there is no one who knows how to take care of livestock better than these people.
It can even be said that most of the herdsmen in the Taifu Yamen are now cultivated by these people.
It's just that......
They are from the Huiqu Department.
"Hmph, Zhang Zizhong, I want to see, what should you do?" Gongsun Jingsheng laughed proudly.
The backers of the Huiqu people are very hard!
……………………………………
At this moment, Zhang Yue came to the vicinity of the valley where Zhao Guo placed livestock.
He thought about it, but he still didn't feel at ease, and he always felt that Gongsun Jingsheng didn't have any good intentions.
It's just that as soon as he came to the vicinity of this valley, he was relieved.
I saw that more than 1,500 cattle and horses, driven and guided by dozens of herdsmen, were leisurely cruising on the meadows inside and outside the valley.
At the same time, in the valley, Zhao Guozheng, with his officials, errands and some herdsmen, is starting to build livestock sheds.
Seeing Zhang Yue coming, Zhao Guo hurriedly put down the work in his hand and stepped forward to say hello.
"Zhao Duwei...... How are these herders? Zhang Yue asked.
"It's all good, it's good!" Zhao Guo bowed with excitement on his face: "They are all the best herdsmen I have seen in the life of Xia Guan!" ”
"Xia Guan knows today, no wonder the Son of Heaven attaches so much importance to these Huiqu people, they are the best herdsmen!"
"Huiqu people?" When Zhang Yue heard this, countless information and materials appeared in his mind.
Huiqu, an ancient tribal name.
Perhaps most of the people of later generations have not even heard of it.
But in the world, this name can be described as a big name, like thunder.
This tribe carries countless honors.
They are known as the 'most loyal eagle dogs of the Han Dynasty', and they even regard themselves as 'the bravest strikers of the hussar generals'.
The previous generation of Huiqu Hou servants and friends, and even the Guiyi Hu people who have received the highest rank of nicknames so far.
After he died of injury and illness in the second year of Yuanjia, he was given the beautiful title of 'loyalty' by the Son of Heaven in recognition of his contribution to the Han Empire.
This Huiqu is loyal and deserves this good word.
On the day he was alive, he led his own tribal cavalry, followed the hussar general Huo Quai, and went out of the fortress three times and expeditioned tens of thousands of miles.
In the war, they defeated more than a dozen 10,000 horsemen of the main Xiongnu tribes.
Killed three Hun kings and captured five.
Even if it is the Xiaoyue clan and the Wuheng people, they are not as popular as the Huiqu people are more liked by Huo Quai.
Until now, the Huiqu people are still allowed to be nomadic between Juyan and Jiuquan in the empire.
The Huiqu tribe thus became the first tribe to be allowed to be free to herd on the territory of the empire.
And their ability to gain such trust is inseparable from their loyalty to the Empire.
For decades, the Huiqu cavalry has been active in the Han army, and was the vanguard of the war between the Han Empire and the Xiongnu.
More importantly, this tribe has also made outstanding contributions to the cause of horse administration in the empire.
The descendants of the Dawan horses and the Dawan horses in Tianma Garden are mainly taken care of by the Huiqu herdsmen.
It is no exaggeration to say that now, the Huiqu tribe is the most favored Hu tribe in the Han Empire.
The people of Wuheng and Xiaoyue are still ranked behind the Huiqu people.
But......
The end of this loyal tribe was tragic and poignant.
Two years later, three years later, Li Guangli, the general of the second division, went out to fight against the Xiongnu.
Because he was afraid of being implicated in Liu Quyu's affairs, Li Guangli coerced the army and rashly penetrated into the hinterland of the Xiongnu, trying to narrow the army to gain self-respect.
In the last Huiqu waiting, he served as a lieutenant under Li Guangli, and controlled the Huiqu cavalry in the name of General Huiqu and fought together.
When Li Guangli won the battle of Zhijushui and wanted to continue to go deeper.
Huiqu waited for thunder and lightning to discuss with the Han army Changshi to capture Li Guangli, but Changshi's plan was learned by Li Guangli, Li Guangli launched a mutiny, killed Changshi, and led his troops to retreat to Yanran Mountain.
And General Huiqu Thunderbolt, but he didn't know anything.
As a result, this loyal cavalry, which had followed Huo Quai's southern and northern wars and fought for decades for the Han family, was surrounded by the Huns on the north side of Zhijushui.
There is a legend that when Zhiju Shui was dyed red by blood.
The remains of war horses and warrior corpses stretched for dozens of miles, and the local pasture grew unusually lush in the second year.
It's just that, since then, there has been no Huiqu cavalry on the Han-Hungarian battlefield.
This once loyal Hu cavalry and their tribe disappeared into the long river of history.
There is no more history book to mention them, and no one to record their iconic death-defying charge!
He once defeated the Xiongnu Zhelan tribe in Gaolan Mountain, was the first to climb in Wolf Juxu Mountain, followed Huo Quai, and penetrated the Huiqu people of the entire Xiongnu Empire, and never saw him again.
Zhang Yue looked back on this period of history, and also sighed and regretted it.
But I didn't expect to see the living Huiqu people so soon.
