In 984 AD, in September of the first year of Yongxi, Cai Yuanlang took his wife and family to Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi Province to take up his post

Taiyuan, Shanxi, located in the northernmost part of the map of the Northern Song Dynasty, is the capital of Shanxi Province and is close to Datong Mansion of Liao

As early as the Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin period, in order to defeat the Northern Han Dynasty and the provincial capital Taiyuan, Zhao Kuangyin's army did everything to rebel and provoke

, Discord, in short, all the strategies that can be used have been used, even so, it still failed to take it down, because there is a more bullish opponent eyeing it

, because there is a country called Da Liao that has been using military punishment schemes

Because I know that my country, the Northern Han Dynasty is a small land, as early as the Northern Song Dynasty, when the soldiers went through the horses and conquered the south, the Northern Han Emperor Liu Jiyuan was

Seeing that the Song State was going to invade its own country sooner or later, it encircled the Liao State from the beginning

In Liao's view, there is such a friend who can block bullets for himself on the front line, so he can't wait to get off the donkey, and he is very happy to accept such a small one

junior

Therefore, every time the Northern Song Dynasty came to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, the Liao State would come to the rescue

This situation was not alleviated until the period of Zhao Guangyi of Taizong of the Song Dynasty, and in the first month of the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo (979), Zhao Guangyi first sent the general Pan Mei

Waiting for the army to go north and besiege Taiyuan, the capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi led the army to conquer in February, and the Song army repelled the Liao reinforcements and destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, which was finally over

Since the Huangchao Rebellion at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the situation of nearly 90 years of separatism and chaos between feudal towns and towns has once again formally unified the whole country

However, everything is like this, it is easy to lay down, but it is the most difficult to keep

At the beginning of the Northern Han Dynasty, there were many incidents of Liao soldiers arsoning and plundering the people

However, fortunately, the Liao army was just to grab some living resources, and as soon as they saw the regular army of the imperial court, they ran away by themselves, and did not have a confrontation with the Song Dynasty army

conflict

However, the side newspaper did not think like this, one a day a day, one day a day to send a war excerpt to Emperor Zhao Guangyi

Zhao Guangyi was angry when he heard it, I am dignified and Chinese, rich in natural resources, how dare your grandmother's, how dare you bully the people of our country again and again? Suiyu

drove the expedition and planned to use Shanxi as a breakthrough to invade the Liao State in the north

In May of the same year, Zhao Guangyi ignored the opposition of his ministers and took advantage of the situation of the Northern Han Dynasty to launch the Northern Expedition from Taiyuan. At the beginning of the Northern Expedition, Yizhou, Hebei Province was recovered

and Zhuozhou. Zhao Guangyi ordered the siege of Yanjing, and the Song army and the Liao engaged in fierce battles on the banks of the Gaoliang River. Zhao Guangyi came to the battlefield in person, but was injured and hit by an arrow

The donkey carts were evacuated in panic, and the Northern Expedition failed.

From then on, Emperor Zhao Guangyi had no plan to destroy the Great Liao

Relatively reluctant and stealing, tolerating everywhere, just like that, until the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty

I don't want to say what attitude the imperial court has towards Bianbei for the time being, but Wu Zeren, the governor of Shanxi, was the first three big ones at the beginning of his tenure

Soldiers, they are all ruffians, usually with brothers, with the team to bully a common people, if you say that you are fighting, you see the soldiers of Liao, you will run

Don't talk about fighting, just let them say a cruel word to the Liao army and scold a mother, they don't dare

And what about officials large and small in the territory? The civil officials are afraid of death, and the military attachés come nonsense, or every time it is time for the army to face the enemy, the military generals will scold each other and me, themselves

and tear each other down

As a governor in such a place, supervising the anti-Japanese war in such an environment, Wu Zeren has three big heads

For the front-line soldiers of the Song Kingdom, mixing a full meal and mixing it with one or two military salaries a month is faster than anything else, and whoever cares about you will be an official. In their eyes

, any of you who are officials also have to pay Lao Tzu soldiers, in this environment, at the end of each month, after receiving the soldiers' salaries, there are still countless deserters

It was in such an environment that Cai Yuanlang came to Shanxi and came to Taiyuan Mansion to report

The prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture surnamed Han Mingzhen, Kaibao three years of Jinshi, successively let Xuzhou, Jiangling, after more than ten years, step by step, until now, do

The prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture

Originally, the front-line officials were not easy to be, and when the generals scolded each other, he also caught shrimp. But fortunately, he was just left behind, and the True Overseer was fighting the war

Governor Wu Zeren, it was the overseer Fan Shijing who really led the troops to resist the war, and he was just a little minion among these people, how the leader wanted to do it, and the leader

You can fight as much as you want, as long as you do your part

Which Cheng thinks, the recent invasion of the Liao State has become more and more serious, and many people in the territory have been looted

How to do a good job in defense and how to do a good job in military-civilian relations has always been a serious illness in Han Zhen's heart

Suddenly, I heard a report from my subordinates, saying that the imperial court had sent a Taiyuan Mansion to stay in the capital to guard the military filial piety

Among the soldiers, there are countless captains, and the so-called captains are actually a battalion commander in today's army, and when they are sent to localities, they are equivalent to being sent from all over the country

The director of the institute, according to the military status, according to the official rank, the captain did not know the government law at all, but when he heard that this person was the last champion, he listened again

said that it was someone sent by the imperial court, Han Zhen finally exhaled, and the imperial court finally paid attention to us front-line generals, and immediately became interested, and said,

Please

When it was not long, Cai Yuanlang was recommended by a group of entourages and walked into the prefect's hall

When I first saw Cai Yuanlang, the prefect Han Zhen said, the champion Lang is good-looking, the champion Lang is so majestic, I can get the champion Lang to support the protection, it can really be described as a tiger with wings,

It's really my emperor's blessing, and the world is very fortunate

Cai Yuanlang laughed in his heart, what the hell am I a champion, so many years have passed. But I recalled that I had suffered several losses in the imperial court

, After so many fights, being sent down or being sent to the front line, I can't help but be a little confused about the prefect, all so many years have passed, know

The government also wants to mention that the prefect is still touting it like this, is this prefect sick in the brain?

However, when it was time to talk, Han Zhen asked the court how it was and whose subordinates she belonged to

Cai Yuanlang realized that he was looking for a backer, so he had to truthfully explain that he was a chief military attache of the guard in front of the prince's gate, and he was in charge of it

Seven or eight hundred people, just because the prince was dissolute and did not please the emperor, he also ate melon cheese and was sent to the front line

Han Zhen asked, how is the emperor doing recently? The prince, is he in good health? Did the emperor explain how long it would take for him to drive the expedition?

There is an explanation that he wants to lead the army to attack Da Liao for the second time?

Cai Yuanlang said, the emperor has always been in good health, and the prince has always been in good health, please don't worry about Lord Han, but the court has never listened to the court about the conquest of Da Liao

Officials, I didn't hear the crown prince and the royal relatives mention it

Han Zhen couldn't help but be disappointed, so she had to say that the front line has been tight recently, and the Liao State has continued to send troops to invade, making the people under her own governance miserable

If you want to lead the troops to crusade several times, the governor and the overseer just hold down their own folds and do not send them, so that they can govern themselves, and the officers and soldiers are not in the hearts of the people

is a human being, I only hope that Brother Yuen Long can be stingy with his talents and be able to help himself in his own office

Cai Yuenlong only said, it must be

Bidding farewell to the prefect's yamen, Cai Yuanlang came to the ground of Taiyuan Mansion

Originally, he wanted to go to his yamen as soon as possible to submit the official talisman to take office as soon as possible

Na Cheng thought that before he arrived at his own place, he was asked to leave and was led to the Taiyuan Public Security Bureau - the General Affairs Office of the Taiyuan Pacification Mission

At first, Cai Yuanlang didn't understand what he was going to do, but as soon as he entered the door, he was stunned

Inside), all of them are officials at the level of the First Water Division, all of whom are smiling and behaving peacefully

Cai Yuanlang was stunned, it turned out that because Cai Yuanlang took office today, the pacification of Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi Province was led by Shi Dacong, the current director of the Taiyuan Prefecture Public Security Bureau

Next, the lieutenants of each district, that is, the directors of the police stations, were detained, and a welcoming ceremony was held together to welcome the imperial court to finally comfort his subordinates

, sent someone

In front of him, all officers, all battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders

Cai Yuanlang couldn't help but be moved in his heart

Speaking of the so-called school captain, in fact, the official position is equivalent to the director of the police station in various places, and everyone is in charge of Taiyuan Mansion, various jurisdictions, various streets, and each

In the area, everyone is in charge of security, patrolling, and maintaining stability in their own jurisdiction

Which lieutenant is equivalent to the current director of the police station in various places, each has its own jurisdiction, each has its own place, and each has its own place

Subordinates of one or two hundred

Cai Yuanlang saw that everyone welcomed him, hugged his fists one by one, and said hello one by one

In a chorus of welcome, Cai Yuenlong took office with honor
