With the demolition and abandonment of various amusement places, the Daming Palace, which has become much deserted, is in the process of a daily routine.

"Everyone, but take care of it, Wang Shi still has loyal ministers and good generals, and there are also dangers of mountains and rivers. It's not a moment when the thieves are powerful, and you can regret it. As long as the court is united and enough to support the front army, everything will be easy to say. ”

Although he suffered setbacks and blows, Zheng Jin, who was the prime minister afterwards, still patiently pinched his nose and tried to learn from those fortunate ministers who reported good news but not bad news, and comforted and comforted him with a relatively favorable aspect. and a frightened bird, a young man who recruited a number of questions a day.

After all, this Son of Heaven, who likes to have fun and hates political affairs, if he really has the mind of being afraid of thieves and difficulties, and wants to learn from the Xuanzong in the Tianbao period, or the Dezong who was established for four years, he will start to go to the west or the south; Then the court situation that he has worked so hard to maintain will really collapse out of control.

He could only do his best and take the trouble to continue to persuade him to think about the good thing.

"The children of the eight towns in the west of the country are just dispatched to die; As long as you stay in front for a little longer, there will be soldiers and horses from the towns of Hedong and Zelu who will travel north to support them; If you hold on to each other for more time, you can get Yinxia, Jingyuan, Shuofang, and Fengning to hear the news of King Qin. Therefore, please also make every effort to send the inner treasury of Qionglin to help the country, which will be in the future. ”

“。。 But.. But the old man was punished. ”

Hearing this, the young Son of Heaven Li Huan couldn't help but be stunned, and only then did he reluctantly admit it.

Zheng Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, at least this fun-loving son of heaven is still sensible and knows the importance when things come to an end. This is also the only good news he can get in the current anxious situation.

At least after the original armor library committed suicide in fear of sin, the confusion that the Shence Zhujia battle library and the flying dragon's stables were missing could only make a headless public case. As a minister who has been in and out of the prime minister for many years, of course he is not so easy to fool.

But in the current situation, he also needs the eunuchs around these Tianzi to cooperate, instead of letting everyone stand on the opposite side of Ang and them. It doesn't hurt to eradicate some of them in the current situation, but it is another matter to cause a tragic backlash from the entire group of eunuchs.

And these incomplete five eunuchs, not everyone is like the big and small Yang brothers, who can take the overall situation into account. Although Zheng Zheng was able to take on the national affairs of the court, he could only save the country from the treasury of the Son of Heaven and come back to save the emergency.

And beyond that, bad news is bad news. Although the Salt and Iron, Transport, and Duzhi Divisions quickly reappointed candidates, they were paralyzed accordingly, but they did not recover immediately.

Although the people still have ignorant and fearless optimism and confidence, the upper echelons of Chang'an, who are capable of getting the news, and even the government and the opposition, are already panicked; Among them, there are many cases of complaining of illness one after another, or various requests for release, or leaving Beijing for refuge without telling them.

For example, just now, the imperial court appointed the former Jingzhao Yin Xiaoxiao as a grain envoy for the Gyeonggi East Province. However, Xiao Liao was afraid of the difficulty, so he made his family say that he was sick and asked for retirement, so he was demoted to the Hezhou Sihu and immediately escorted him to go. As a result, he heard that when his relatives and friends were parting, he actually cried with joy and danced with his family on the spot.

On the other hand, in order to expand the number of the Shence Army, Tian Lingzi recruited tens of thousands of people from the market and the workshop before leaving, and this big burden also fell into the hands of Zheng Jin. However, after the story of the Eastern Capital, how could Zheng Jin, who has grown up with wisdom, not know the success of these temporary recruits.

However, he could only pinch his nose, admit and accept this fait accompli, and then let him hang it up and mix it with the original Shence disciples, and parade through Suzaku Street by the opportunity of the Son of Heaven's review, with the strength of the spirit of the people and the confidence of the imperial court.

In fact, in this stormy situation and the various towns of Kanto cannot respond. At that time, the clan brother who was the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, the inspection school Sikong, Taiyuan Yin, and the northern capital who stayed behind and recruited the camp, Zheng Congyan, who was born in the small white house of the northern ancestor of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, is his biggest support at the moment;

As long as he can hold on here until the other party completes the internal integration, and the Daibeixing battalion of the Shatuo tribes headed by the Zhu Xie clan that originally conquered and suppressed it, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Dynasty in the towns and towns can be led to the southward Qin Wang, the situation in this Guanzhong land can be assured without a doubt.

Among them, whether it is Li Xiaochang, the envoy of the Yanjie degree, or the envoy of the Zhenwu Jiedu, or the leader of the Pingxia Department and the head of the Youzhou Thorn Shi Tuoba Sigong, the Tuhun leader Helian Duo, and even the Hedong Mabu Army Duyu Marquis Zhu Mei, Li Yuanli, and Wang Chongying, they are all the choice of generals who are either bold and courageous, or experienced in a hundred battles.

。。。。。。

On the shore of Dongting Lake, Lei Man of Langzhou was also under the command at this time, searching for a town that had just been attacked for a long time, and then looked at the carts of grain, grass, goods and bloody weapons copied from it with satisfaction.

Unlike Zhou Yue in the south, who just wanted to lead people to grab a good hand, he went out with all his strength this time to occupy a piece of territory for himself. According to the promise of Song Hao, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu sent by the imperial court, as long as he can take Yuezhou, he will be promoted as the defense envoy of Eyue and even the observation envoy.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to offend those big clans and powerful people, and found a way to exhaust the people's strength under his rule to collect and use them as military funds. After coercing a lot of Ding Zhuang, he gathered this army of 30,000. You must know that there are more than 17,000 registered households in the entire Langzhou, and there are more than 80,000 people.

If you can't gain anything from this battle, I'm afraid that the land of Langzhou in the rear will also be unpeaceful.

Unlike Xiang Suke, the leader of the Shimen barbarians, who was known for his bravery and bravery, he was not from the family of the barbarian leaders of the lineage; In his early years, he was just a warrior known for his bravery in the relatively civilized Wuling Man.

Compared with those Han people who live on the flat land by the water, their barbaric life in the mountains is undoubtedly more difficult and difficult. Even if he is a warrior in a village, he is just barely able to get enough by hunting independently.

And once in the vendetta and rivalry between various ministries and villages, it is difficult to get treatment after being seriously injured, and they will be disabled or even lose their lives. Therefore, they have also cultivated the brave nature of these barbarian children, who take life and death lightly and value the front of them.

Therefore, he was very grateful to the Jing Shuai Gao Linggong who came to recruit them and gave him the opportunity to get ahead; Therefore, for a long time, he could only think about how to obey Gao Linggong's orders and kill the enemy in front of him.

Whether they are thieves who rose out of famine, or Dang Xiang Qiang, or Nanzhao barbarians, or even officials and soldiers belonging to the same camp; His stubbornness is also easy to get the blue eyes from Shangguan.

From the five heads to the fire commander, the team leader, the captain, the brigade commander; In the end, once again the fighting skills in the army fell into the eyes of the senior envoy, and he became the so-called barbarian battalion soldier and horse envoy directly under his command.

Therefore, for a long time, he is also extremely respected and admired by the famous Tang Dynasty generals who fought in the world and rarely had opponents, known as the "Tiannan Pillar" and "The Wall City of the Country" Gao Junwang; I just feel that there is no existence in the world under his command that can stop and stump him.

However, just like any dream or longing will eventually change and shift. With the imperial court in order to prevent him from pursuing the thieves on his own, an edict was transferred from Zhenhai to Huainan; This majestic and awe-inspiring Gao Linggong seemed to have changed his person, and began to indulge in the way of seeking immortal cultivation, and showed all kinds of old and faint states.

Therefore, as this Gao Linggong gradually isolated himself from the inside and outside, and handed over all kinds of things to those who were lucky enough to speculate; Lei Man, who was in charge of several battalions of barbarian soldiers but had no more advances, could only think about his retreat and return in great disappointment.

Therefore, more than two years ago, he took the opportunity of asking himself to go out to guard the fortress, instigated and led the troops in the barbarian barracks to rob the army, and embarked on a long way home. Fortunately, under the chaos of the world and the rise of thieves, their exiled people were not too conspicuous, so they returned to their hometown.

Just as the thieves outside the mountains went north to Hunan again, the local assassin Shi Cui Zhu did not dare to send troops to recruit them, but instead sent people to send money, grain, pigs and cattle to reward and envelop them; So he was able to recruit the barbarian tribes from all directions, and set up a village in Xishan to protect himself.

After all the thieves have crossed the border and seen the weakness of the government. He led his subordinates to send troops to the state city, and the inside and outside should be combined to break the door and kill the assassin Shi instead, and since then he has grown his beard and put on the Tang family's clothes and crowns, and used the court etiquette system.

His grudge with Zhou Yue, an old friend in the army, was also concluded from this. However, he did not regret this, but regretted that he could not take into account Xiang Suke's offensive at that time and not be able to eradicate this scourge in time.

After all, the Zhou family is one of the best local Tu tycoons, plus the people and horses brought back by Zhou Yue as a support, I am afraid that the situation in Langzhou will be reversed in time.

It is better to use this to get rid of the Zhou family and its subordinates as a deterrent, and control the three counties of Wuling, Taoyuan, and Longyang in one go, and forcibly take the daughter of the Qi family, another major local clan, as his wife, and work together to repel Xiang Zhu's attack, and only then can the situation in Langzhou be roughly controlled.

When the follow-up Taiping thieves rose to Hunan, he was also suffering from the enemy in the north and south and did not want to threaten again; Only then did he humble his words and deeds to the lord of the peace thief, and he exchanged trade with each other but asked for a moment of peace.

Regarding the liquidation and eradication of the powerful clans in the Taiping Thief Territory, he actually didn't care too much about and mind; Even if he has enough power and opportunities, he can't help but attack these wealthy surnames who occupy a lot of local resources.

As for the perverse methods of those Taiping thieves against the gentry and wealthy families, it will only make him rule these wealthy surnames and big clans more and more huddle together and bow down to their side in order to preserve.

Following the insight of Gao Linggong's battle between the north and the south, he realized a basic truth in this troubled world. As long as there are swords, guns, men and horses in hand, there is nowhere in this world that nothing can be done, and nowhere can be relied on as a foundation.

As for things like fame and popularity, family background and bloodline, in the face of this sword plus the last word, it is just a chicken and a dog, and it will not last longer than the paper paste thing.

However, compared with Langzhou, which is located in a corner of the west side of Dongting, where the barbarians are mixed, Yuezhou and Ezhou, which are in the middle of the river, are the real places where Fujun and Dayi can stand. This is also the main reason why he is absolutely at peace with those peaceful thieves.

At least when the army went out to fight Huainan, he didn't feel that these Taiping thieves in Hunan belonged; It was able to persist for a long time under the five-way offensive from Shannan, Jingnan and Xiangxi Prefectures.

Compared with Zhou Yue in the south, who could only talk about self-preservation, he actually looked down on Xiang Zhu, the big leader of Shimen who had few subordinates in Lizhou, but who had little to do. Because his roots are still in those barbarian tribes, he is really unpopular among the local Han surnames, and there are many stumbling and controlling.

If it weren't for the fact that the Taiping thieves were treating the gentry too harshly, and they were separated from their own Langzhou territory, those who were surnamed Hao on the other side would not have been able to make a gesture of welcoming the thieves in all kinds of rebellions.

If it weren't for the Taiping thieves on his side, Lei Man, who defeated the other party three times, would have already thought of invading the corresponding chassis and people. After all, the former Wuxi Man had already been killed with the means of "Yang Peeling" a hundred years ago, and he was frightened and torn apart.

Therefore, if you want to achieve a career and foundation, you have to rely on those Han scholars as wings and auxiliaries.

At this time, the sound of a bullhorn suddenly sounded in the distance. Someone else shouted:

"The water army of the Taiping thieves has come to harass again."

Lei Man couldn't help frowning, as a barbarian soldier and horse envoy, his subordinates were all foot soldiers who were good at the mountains; Attacking the city and plundering the ground is certainly brave, but it is an obvious shortcoming in terms of water power.

Therefore, these Taiping thieves, who had shrunk and retreated to the city, could still rely on the small fleets of boatmen and fishermen on the lake, and from time to time harass and attack his army along the coast.

He heard a bang, and suddenly a rain of earth like waves splashed not far from him, and with a little blood color, it was scattered on his silk cloak.

。。。。。。

Well, the cat has to ask everyone for leave first, because it is still on duty during the Chinese New Year, plus the need to go to relatives to pay New Year's greetings and take the two children on a trip; Therefore, it will be judged from time to time to love, and please forgive me.
