Chapter 969: Patrolling Liangzhou

"Your Majesty!" The leather leopard wore a court dress and bowed to Zhao Junsheng in the imperial study.

Zhao Junsheng smiled and raised his hand: "General Pi is exempt from courtesy, flat body!" Come, give a seat! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The leather leopard got up and sat gently on the stool that the waiter moved, he was four or five years older than Zhao Junsheng, compared to the high-spirited and flamboyant when he was young, the current leather leopard has a much calmer temperament, but he himself is a vigorous character, he is middle-aged and his body is stronger at this time, Liangzhou has not been idle in recent years, practicing martial arts hard, although he is older, but he is also quite lean.

The leather leopard grew up beside Tuoba Tao, he was still a little more open by Tuoba Tao's side, although he also kept his dignity and humility, but he didn't feel too restrained, but in front of Zhao Junsheng, he still felt very restrained, Zhao Junsheng was his subordinate in the past, and now Zhao Junsheng is his emperor, the identity reversal between the two sides, the increase in contrast makes him cautious.

Zhao Junsheng asked with a smile: "Are you still used to living in the past few days when you come back?" ”

The leather leopard was very polite, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister used to stay in Chang'an for a long time, and I feel good when I come back, and the reward sent by Your Majesty has been received, thank you Your Majesty!" ”

The day after the leopard came back from Liangzhou, Zhao Junsheng sent someone to send him a large number of rewards, money, daily necessities, food, cloth, wine, etc.

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "You have worked hard in Liangzhou in the past few years, and it is nothing for me to reward some, if it is not enough, say it!" Let's talk about the situation at the junction of Liangzhou and Bashu, I plan to go to Liangzhou to see the specific situation! ”

The leopard clenched his fists: "When the minister set off from Liangzhou, General Lu had been there for two days, and the minister was ready to write a chapter to report on the situation outside the border pass, and then General Lu said that since the handover was completed, the chapter would be written by him, and the minister didn't care about it, when the minister set off, there were not many Bashu victims gathered on the border, and most of them were intercepted by the border defenders of the Southern Dynasty in the territory of the other party and could not get out, only a few hundred victims braved the hardships and dangers to cross the mountains and mountains and entered the buffer zone of the border forces on both sides, but they were still blocked outside our pass!

Later, on the way back to Chang'an, the minister heard the merchants from Hanzhong talking that there were more and more victims outside the border passes, and many victims used improvised tools to open mountain roads in the mountains, crossed the blockade line of the Southern Dynasties, and entered the buffer zone of the two forces. ”

Zhao Junsheng sighed: "It seems that the situation has changed a lot in the past ten days, according to the latest report sent by Lu Shuang, there are as many as 100,000 Bashu refugees gathered outside our border, and these refugees are also using the same method to open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water to cross our border defense line, and some of them even climb the cliff and then put down the rattan ladder for other refugees to climb!"

These days, after the loss of hundreds of lives, the displaced people have successfully opened up a channel into our territory, at present, Lu Shuang has sent people to control the exit and enter our territory of the displaced people are concentrated, the next step is how to break up these displaced people scattered resettlement, even if the scattered resettlement still brings great hidden dangers to the security of our country! ”

In the past few days, the imperial court has issued an official letter, requiring all cities in Hanzhong County to open the reserve granary and transport half of the grain to the concentration area of the Bashu refugees.

Zhao Junsheng said this, and said to the leopard: "Liangzhou is also a border place for my big cadres, and you have not been idle for many years, now that you have returned to Chang'an, you will recuperate for a while, and then arrange your errand when I come back from Liangzhou!" ”

"Obey the order!"

The distance from Chang'an to Hanzhong in Liangzhou is not too far, just because the road is difficult, and the scale of the team led by Zhao Junsheng this time is not small, at most sixty miles a day, and when encountering mountain roads and canyons, he can only walk forty or fifty miles a day, and it took twelve days to reach Hanzhong.

In these years, without the excavation of large-scale industrial machines, it was impossible to rely on manpower to build a spacious road from Chang'an to Hanzhong.

Lu Shuang actually arrived in Liangzhou only ten days earlier than Zhao Junsheng, but he had already controlled the garrisons in Liangzhou in these ten days, after Zhao Junsheng arrived in Hanzhong, he sent troops and horses to control the speed of the Bashu refugees entering Hanzhong, so as not to bring hidden dangers to the security of a large number of displaced people suddenly entering Hanzhong, especially during the period of the emperor's arrival, which was very sensitive; On the other hand, patrols and sentry posts were increased in Hanzhong City, and all the county soldiers and county soldiers in the yamen in the city were ordered to be on standby.

At this time, Hanzhong City is Nanzheng City, which is the county, county, and state level officials working in the same city.

At this time, the assassin did not have both military and political powers like in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but only had the right to supervise and check and inquire about things. In the Daqian Dynasty, the state assassins were nominally subordinate to the Imperial Historical Observatory, but in fact had the power to play to the emperor alone.

The Governor's Office is in charge of the military affairs of a state, and controls the town and garrison troops and county soldiers and county soldiers within the territory, and the military expenses, ordnance and equipment, military uniforms, shoes and socks are uniformly allocated by the Imperial Military Department, and the required military rations and other materials are purchased by the Governor's Office from the people.

There are not many garrisons in Liangzhou, even if you count the county soldiers and county soldiers, it is less than 8,000, but the terrain of the various passages leading to the outside world in the Hanzhong Basin is complicated, and the roads are difficult to travel, so as long as you hold important passes, do not slack off, and do not relax your vigilance, these troops are not small.

Outside Nanzheng City, Lu Shuang and a group of officials such as Hanzhong Taishou, Liangzhou Thorn History, and Nanzheng County Commander were looking forward to finally waiting for Zhao Junsheng and the accompanying escort army.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng jumped off the horse, walked to the officials who were kneeling on the ground, raised his hand and said, "Flatten!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "Where is the place you have prepared for me?" ”

According to the consistent principle, the emperor should build a special palace every place he goes, but a large number of Bashu refugees have just poured into Hanzhong here, it is really not suitable to build the palace outside the city, in order to set the location for the emperor to stay, the officials at all levels in Nanzheng City quarreled for a whole morning, and finally Lu Shuangli overrode the public opinion, set the palace in the city, and requisitioned the largest house in the city.

All the officials looked at Lu Shuang, Lu Shuang bowed and hugged his fists and said: "Back to Your Majesty, because a large number of Bashu refugees have been placed under the Dingjun Mountain not far from Nanzheng City, the ministers and others consider that it is not safe to set up the palace outside the city, and it also increases the pressure on the guards, so the ministers took the initiative to set up the palace in the city, requisitioned the largest house in the city, and asked Your Majesty to move in with peace of mind!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Isn't requisitioning people's houses disturbing the people? I didn't come to have fun, but to learn about the Bashu refugees and the Liangzhou border defenses! Yang Lie, spread my will, the whole army will set up camp on the south bank of the Han River, and the palace will not be built, and the handsome tent is the palace! ”

Yang Lie clenched his fists and agreed: "Obey!" ”

After the decree was delivered, under the command of Yang Lie, the escort army camped by the river.

Hanzhong County Taishou Wen Bozhen bowed down and said: "Since Your Majesty insists on camping outside the city, the ministers will not persuade you, but Your Majesty and the accompanying ministers have traveled all the way, and the ministers have prepared a little coarse tea and light rice in the city, and they also invite Your Majesty and the ministers to enter the city to enjoy!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and agreed: "It's okay, since I've come here, if I don't even enter Nanzheng City, I can't say it!" Li Bao, take the Dragon Guards with you! As for the soldiers and generals who stayed outside the city, they made their own fires and cooked food, so as not to add to the burden on the local government! ”

"Yes!"

The officials of Liangzhou were greatly relieved to hear Zhao Junsheng's words, now that so many displaced people have poured into Liangzhou, and the demand for food and other materials is very great, if they still have to pay for the food of the emperor's guards and generals, this pressure will be too great.

No matter which dynasty or generation of emperors went out on tour, the local government along the way would be punished heavily if they did not do a good job in reception, and even a Taishou in history was afraid of hanging himself if he did not do a good job of receiving the emperor in time.

It is just modesty to say that it is coarse tea and light rice, even if there are more displaced people in Liangzhou and need more materials, the officials of the local governments at all levels in Liangzhou still have some things in their hands to entertain the emperor and the accompanying ministers, and they cannot take good wine and good meat to those homeless people to eat.

In the rectangular hall, Zhao Junsheng sat on the main seat, with eunuchs, palace maids and other attendants standing on both sides, and the accompanying ministers and local officials sitting on both sides.

Zhao Junsheng asked while eating and drinking: "How many displaced people have entered Liangzhou now?" ”

Qin Chuan, the assassin of Liangzhou, put down his chopsticks and quickly got up and bowed and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the ministers and others have set up several centralized resettlement points for displaced people in several counties and counties near the Southern Dynasty in Liangzhou after discussion, and Dingjun Mountain is the largest centralized resettlement point.

According to yesterday's latest estimates, the total number of displaced people who have entered the territory of Liangzhou has reached 120,000, and the number of displaced people who have been sheltered and resettled by our side has reached 60,000, which means that there are still nearly 60,000 displaced people who are still blocked in the border area between Jiameng Pass and Jianmen Pass or other military buffer zones! At present, there are as many as 30,000 displaced people located at the foot of Dingjun Mountain! ”

The Qianguo and Song states controlled the Jiameng Pass and the Jianmen Pass respectively, and the middle of the two passes was the military buffer zone of the two sides.

While eating, Zhao Junsheng decided to go to the homeless concentration under Dingjun Mountain tomorrow to see the truth.
