Chapter 35: Not a single mind
Youzhou is today's Beijing, the heart of our great motherland, the political, economic and cultural center of the Republic, the place that all the "North Drifters" yearn for, and the place where they dream of realizing their dreams.
It can be said that Beijing is a rare good place in the motherland and even in the world.
Not only today, but also a good place in the past, it can be said that Youzhou has been a good place since ancient times!
Youzhou is located in the north of the North China Plain, backed by Yanshan Mountain, facing the sea, directly connecting to the northeast and the Central Plains in the west, occupying a very important geographical location.
Due to the geographical location is very important, from ancient times to the Tang Dynasty is the capital of many dynasties, even when An Lushan rebelled against the imperial court, he took Youzhou as his base, and raised troops from here to fight against the Tang Dynasty, all the way to Chang'an.
Although An Lushan is a thief, his vision is still good, and he fell in love with Fanyang or Youzhou, a good place as the capital of his rebels.
"This is Youzhou?" Coming to Youzhou City, Zhang Wei asked Zhang Zhifangdao.
"Yes, this is Youzhou, although it is not as good as Chang'an, but as an important northern town of the Tang Dynasty, it is also a very good place." Zhang Zhifang explained.
"Yes, it's really good, if I'm not mistaken, An Lushan raised troops against the Tang Dynasty from here." Zhang Wei said this coldly.
Although Zhang Wei was not a good student when he was in school, he loved to learn historical knowledge, and although his knowledge was not as profound as that of experts, he came to the era of Datang after all.
Since you have come to Datang, you should know some things about Datang, if you don't even know about the Anshi Rebellion that affected Datang from prosperity to decline, then you are a little too ignorant.
Ignorance also has a limit, and being too ignorant is unjustifiable.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately hurt the hearts of several people, especially the face of the old general Zhang Zhongwu, who was even more ugly, whether he could speak, how could he pick up words that others didn't like. An Lushan is an anti-thief, is the old man also an anti-thief?
When you arrive in Youzhou, the old nest of An Lushan, why do you say that these people don't like to hear it? It's like revealing someone's old bottom.
"An Lushan is a thief, and the old man and all the soldiers in Youzhou are loyal and good people of the Tang Dynasty." Zhang Zhongwu threw down this sentence and walked towards the city.
It seems that this sentence really made the old general angry.
Hey----, I think I, Zhang Wei, am such a good talker, how could I say such angry things after I walked to this Youzhou?
Zhang Wei shook his head and followed Zhang Zhongwu and the others into Youzhou City, and came to the mansion of the envoy of Fan Yang Jiedu.
The mansion of the envoy of Jiedu obviously cannot be compared with the imperial palace in Chang'an, or even the prime minister's mansion of Linghu. But after all, the envoy of the festival is the highest military and political chief of a place, and he is also a very majestic figure, and it is nothing if he is placed in the center, but he is very powerful in the place.
What's more, Fan Yang is still a place where he has to fight with the enemy at any time, and Fan Yang's festival envoy is even more different, with great power and many troops under management.
"Zhifang, Zhang Gongzi is new to the city, and he is not familiar with everything here, so let him follow you to familiarize himself with the situation first." After entering the Jiedu Envoy's residence, Zhang Zhongwu said to his son Zhang Zhifang.
The punishment for saying the wrong thing is obvious, and Zhang Wei, who originally planned to follow Zhang Zhongwu as a staff member, immediately became the follower of his son Zhang Zhifang.
And Zhang Zhongwu didn't even leave a gap for Zhang Wei when he said this, "Zhang Gongzi, you just came, and you are not familiar with everything here, so let's follow Zhifang first to familiarize yourself with the situation in Youzhou." Zhang Zhongwu said to Zhang Wei.
The phrase familiarity is often used to deal with novices and rookies, anyway, you just came, you don't know anything, first slowly familiarize yourself with the situation, as for when you are familiar, it's hard to say.
A month is familiar, a year is familiar, and a lifetime is even more familiar.
As for when I will use you as a staff counselor for military affairs, it depends on my mood, anyway, I won't use you now to juggle.
Take your time, young man.
After listening to Zhang Zhongwu's words, Zhang Wei was stunned and looked at Zhang Zhongwu, who had already entered the hall of the Jiedu Envoy, blankly.
"My lord, I--"
Without waiting for Zhang Wei to say his words, Zhang Zhifang stepped forward and said to Zhang Wei: "Zhang Gongzi, this is very good, I still have a lot of things to learn from you, you come with me." β
You Zhang Zhongwu don't like me, but your son likes me!
Although Zhang Zhongwu's arrangement made Zhang Wei very surprised and disappointed, he was very happy for his son Zhang Zhifang. Anyway, the affairs in this army are taken care of by my father, and I don't have much to do, so I just know more about Chang'an with Zhang Wei, isn't it beautiful!
Zhang Zhifang is very curious about the affairs of Chang'an, and wants to understand the various relations between the DPRK and China, but Zhang Wei is different! Beneath his playful appearance is a sincere heart that wants to be loyal to the country!
originally thought that as long as he came to Fanyang, he would be able to be loyal to the country and go into battle to kill the enemy, but now it seems that he is still too naΓ―ve and thinks about things simply.
Don't think that if you want to be a soldier to fight, people will definitely let you go into battle to kill the enemy, and you won't know until you get to the front of the battle that it's really not like that, there are still a lot of canals and channels in it.
Zhang Zhifang's mansion is next door to the Jiedu Envoy's residence.
"Zhang Gongzi, come in." After entering the mansion, Zhang Zhifang happily opened a house and said to Zhang Wei, "In the future, you will live here, and I will live next door to you, and we can discuss things if we have something." β
Following Zhang Zhifang's footsteps, Zhang Wei walked into the room and saw that this place was good, the place was obviously much more spacious than the place that Ling Hulu gave him in Chang'an, and the furnishings inside were also readily available.
Poverty is a great place, this is an eternal truth.
Chang'an City is the core of the Tang Dynasty, and the place is every inch of land, and it is very difficult to have a decent place in Chang'an, so many celebrities in history are temporary residents of Chang'an, rather than official residents.
And Fan Yang is different, this is already a border, whether it is officials or ordinary people want to escape, so the place is bigger, "There is a place, you are welcome, you can live casually, occupy it casually, if you can open up wasteland and farm land here, the emperor will still reward you." β
It's like today, if you want to buy a piece of land in Beijing and pay for the old nose, your ancestors ran out of money for several generations, and they barely paid a down payment, and they had to become a slave to the house for the rest of their lives; But if you want to cultivate land in the arid regions of the northwest, it's a completely different story, not only do you not need money, but you will also get a reward from the state. And the place where you live is also very large, and you can build it casually, and how big you can build it is to contribute to windbreak and sand fixation.
That's the gap, a very real gap.
It's okay, then stay here.
Although he didn't achieve the goal he wanted, he finally lived next door to the Jiedu envoy, and he was separated by a wall from the political center of Fanyang.
Lying on the bed, Zhang Wei thought about the things of the past few days over and over again.
"I haven't offended this Fan Yang Jie Du Envoy, why is he so cold to me?" Zhang Weisi thought about it and felt that he did not have a little festival with Zhang Zhongwu, but why did this festival make the adult so cold to him?
Am I not the person he wants? Or maybe some of my words and actions have made people angry.
Well, I must have said the wrong thing.
Thinking of this, Zhang Wei realized that his words and deeds in the past were indeed not Zhang Zhongwu's essentials, what people wanted was talents who marched and fought in battle, and he was just a clown who could have fun in the minds of others, and the gap was too big.
In the absence of fame, people will not trust themselves and do things for themselves.
The future is bright, the road is tortuous, and I will definitely succeed.
Zhang Wei cheered himself up.
