Chapter 1091: The Punishment of Ten Thousand Arrows
『Chapter error, click here to report』
As the emperor once said to the crown prince Li Zhi, after Gao Jun arrived in the military department, except for the selection of the eldest grandson run because of the addition of the horse department yamen, he almost did not move the original team. Looking at a book?
These people are familiar with the business of the military department, and he can't replace them just because they have worked under Li Shi. Of course, it's nothing to change two Langzhong, who doesn't need a few handy new officials to take office?
Such an approach is almost an unwritten rule in officialdom, as long as it is not excessive, no one will gossip. But Gao Jun just didn't move.
The two people who moved, one Li Shi, no one thought it was Gao Jun's reason. The other Cui Yuanli was not Gao Jun's idea, and he was promoted to Xiazhou and was specially designed for Li Shiteng.
This made the original officers of the military department quickly let go of their doubts, picked up their spirits to do things, and did not dare to have the slightest negligence.
And Li Shi also saw that he was a little tired and he could only put it in Liaozhou to play.
In addition to the eldest grandson**, in fact, Gao Jun also has some actions in the military department, but it is not obvious. It turned out that there were four people in the Ministry of Staff under Lang Zhong, and he added one person.
This Ling Shi manages forty people under his command, specializing in "Feixin".
These people are responsible for raising and training flying pigeons on a daily basis, and they are not with the Ministry of Staff, but in the mountains opposite Chang'an, on the west bank of the Weishui River.
It is a large courtyard hidden in the jungle, and there are rows of pigeon cages in it, which are classified into three types of pigeons: "medium", "medium and long-distance", and "long-distance".
In normal times, half of the forty people under Ling Shi fed pigeons and received letters. The other half of the 20 people are in charge of training, and the results are not small.
At this time, the public connotation and even military information transmitted by Datang on a daily basis could only be completed by stagecoaches because of its large volume.
But Gao Jun is still too slow sometimes, and there is no need to write many words for particularly important military information, the key is the time limit! And the pigeon messenger satisfies just that.
This matter was quietly set up by Changsun Run for him, so the emperor, the crown prince, and the chief sun Wuji knew that there was such a department, although the level was not high, but it was only responsible for the few people who knew about it.
Of course, Li Shi and the others didn't know.
These people first learned about the landing of Jin Huanming, the defender of the Iron Urn City, in Dengzhou, and almost unanimously agreed with Siqing's idea: let the 3,000 Jieli cavalry from Xiazhou, who had just become a family and had accompanied Simo to Goryeo, come to Chang'an.
Bring a bow and arrows!
No, this thing is by no means the personal enmity of Xia Zhou Thorn Shi Siqing, its symbolism is significant!
Therefore, it cannot be quiet. Although the emperor and the crown prince may not be present at that time, they must be informed to the people and officials of Chang'an, and the foreign envoys in Beijing must also be notified.
Moreover, the emperor also thought that this matter should be sent to the surrounding countries, so as to reduce red tape, so he simply told them one thing:
On the occasion of the Tang Army's division, Jin Huanming, who hid behind the city and cast cold arrows and injured the leader of the Jieli Department, General Shang Shusimo of the Tang Army, Goryeo, despicable, and the defender of the Iron Urn City, has been arrested and brought to justice by the Tang Longxing Ranch as scheduled, and the law is corrected on a certain day in a certain month.
"Just write like this, and Gai Suwen will also send a copy there, I think he dares to stab." The emperor clapped his hands in high spirits.
This is a domineering, awe-inspiring and inviolable!
If you steal an arrow, I will have an arrow, and my Tang Dynasty's military department Shangshu will say a word, and someone will dare to come to your territory, tie you up across your city, and return you 10,000 arrows in Chang'an!
Don't think that I have withdrawn my troops, the harsh winter is coming, and I dare not entangle with you anymore, it is because the Tang army only fights for justice! You don't need to mobilize the crowd at all to catch a young general, a few shepherds who herd horses are enough!
The Emperor was still unsatisfied, suggesting that the crown prince should not announce the matter too soon, but no doubt he began to count the days on his fingers??? Want?? Reading ·
Another letter of flying pigeons came from General Xue Li, who left with two long-distance pigeons, and on November 19, the pigeons flew back to one.
Lingshi of the Feixin Department received the letter, and stepped across the Weishui River to report the Shangshu order.
Xue Li left Yingzhou on the 12th and arrived at the Raole Governor's Mansion on the 15th, and the situation became clear on the same day.
The envoy of the Murwei Department came to Chang'an in August, and after returning, Mo Hefu, the chief of the Murwei Ministry, learned of such a situation, and he was furious, and he passed away after only half a month! He's eighty-two!
Mo Hefu's original intention was to use his lifetime to merge the headquarters into the Tang Dynasty, so that in the future, even if he handed over the Murwei Department to his son, he would have no worries.
This matter is as serious as it is, but fortunately, Mo Helanrong, the son of Mo Ho Fu, is no longer a hairy young man, and he is also in his early sixties this year.
Mo He Lanrong knows his father's general political direction very well, even if Datang does not accept the room Wei, the room Wei department is not easy to make trouble.
But this tone is not good, take care of Mo Hefu's aftermath, and Mo Helan Rong also fell ill. Brother Xuan, the Governor of the Song Desert Governor's Mansion, crossed the border to visit, and only then did he learn about it.
It's just that the way these remote tribes do things still need to be further improved, after Brother Cave came back, not to mention writing a letter to Chang'an to help ask, he simply gathered 5,000 troops and "hunted" on the border of the department!
After the governor of Rao Ledu's mansion sent a message to Chang'an, Brother Cave beat a few roe deer, and the satisfied stragglers let them return to their headquarters It turned out that he asked others to write for him.
It is no wonder that Yingzhou only reported the military information once, and there was no follow-up.
But if Shang Shuling hadn't thought about it a little more, I'm afraid that whether this battle would be fought or not would be put second, but Youzhou, Yingzhou, and Liaozhou would definitely have troops on standby, and it would be a bit complicated where the situation would develop.
Now that I think about it, strangling Ma Xun has cheapened him.
Xue Li took these people forward, and he expressed the attitude of Chang'an, a general Zuo Qianniu from the third grade, who was an important figure in the emperor's guard, and his almost alone arrival surprised everyone and relieved their hearts.
Xue Li said that he could not return to Chang'an for the time being, and that he was drinking and hunting with the leaders of the Murwei Department every day. He had to wait for Chang'an to reply before setting off to show his sincerity.
So Chang'an is busy here again: first Feixin briefly stated Chang'an's attitude in the past, expressed regret for Mo Hefu's death, and briefly said that the misunderstanding was caused by Si Xulu, but the Tang Emperor had seen the Ice Jade Hidden Dragon Bottle, not because he valued this thing, but from this thing, he saw the sincerity of the Murwei Department to return to the Tang Dynasty.
But Ma Xun didn't mention it, it was too embarrassing.
Subsequently, the official edict was issued, and the envoys of the Tang Dynasty set off.
Chang'an officially accepted the Murwei Department as the Governor of Shanbei, with Mohe Lanrong as the Metropolitan Governor, and the leaders of the Southern and Northern Chambers, the Bowl Chambers, the Late Chambers, and the Grande Governors, each with the post of Assassin.
And the late Wei Da leader Mo Hefu was named a male in Taiji County and given the surname Li.
And the cave brother is just hunting, and he can't talk about pursuing it, and General Xue Li will teach him to write letters at the right time according to the situation.
In this way, in the north of the Khitan, the Murowei tribe who live in the vast land around the Julunbo, Wangjian River, Nahe, Sihe River, and Heishui finally had a direct connection with the Tang Dynasty.
Mainly fishing and hunting, preying on mink, roe deer, roe deer, digging ice for fish, and burrowing in winter, the semi-primitive tribes finally had direct contact with the Tang Dynasty.
And how wide and narrow its land is, even the Ministry of Labor can't tell how many thousands of miles there is for a while.
Li Shi also couldn't tell what position he had placed in the emperor's mind during the handling of this matter.
Looking back now, the loose desert military intelligence that he deliberately delayed was a bit self-defeating.
And the hint that he deliberately expressed implicitly at the beginning of the incident that he could raise troops to the north again not only did not add color to himself, but instead became a commentary on the martial arts who lacked knowledge and only knew how to fight.
He hoped that the ministers would do well to forget about these little fragments.
On 19 November, a private message from Li Zhien, the governor of Liaozhou, was sent to the head of the military department, and Li Zhien reported to him that he had not seen anyone from Longxing Ranch crossing the border so far, and that they had only shown their heads on the riverside of Yalushui.
But before Li Shi had time to taste the connotation of this letter, he learned another important thing.
On the night of 19 November, 3,000 Jieli cavalrymen who lived in Xiazhou and had married families also arrived. After receiving the message from the Pegasus sent by Princess Siqing, these people rushed to Chang'an almost at a gallop.
While they were happy in Xiazhou, they occasionally thought of their leader, Simo, but this incident made them secretly uneasy.
In fact, some people didn't quite believe what the military department said at that time, because it was too impossible.
At this time, these 3,000 people were stationed on the edge of the mountain village of Ziwuyu, went to worship the great leader and Shen Guogong, and elected representatives, and went to the village to visit the military department Shangshu, the chief pastor, the Silk Road superintendent, and the sixth uncle of Shangshu Ling Gao Jun Zhu Gao Shenxing, and then waited for the news.
In the evening, Zhongshu ordered Lord Chu, Gao Jun and the fourth lady Siqing to arrive at Meridian Valley on behalf of Chang'an.
Shang Shuling allocated a large amount of money from Xie Jinlian, and set up a stove and kitchen in the field, hired a cook, and wanted to buy a feast.
A vegetarian feast for 3,000 people!
It's a vegetarian feast. There is alcohol. But Gao Jun finally didn't know how much money Xie Jinlian had in his hands!
This woman who used to be in the ranch village and secretly hid money under the bed for her daughter Tiantian, didn't even blink an eye or shake her hands when she allocated the money, which really has everyone's demeanor.
There were no tables, and there were thirty people in each large tent of the Jieli Department as a "table", and one side of the hill was lined up with pins.
If Princess Siqing can have such an arrangement, then there is no need to doubt anything, these people firmly believe that in three days at most, the damned Goryeo general of Iron Urn City will appear in front of them.
Before the banquet, Zhongshu Ling read out two edicts of the emperor.
One is the "Absolute Goryeo Tributary Edict": "The embers of Goryeo are said to be able to repent ...... disaster"
Someone in Goryeo said that he could repent, so the Tang Dynasty sent troops several times and stopped halfway, intending to complete its lair!
But a person is fierce and stubborn, but he has not changed his mind, and what he said in the above table before and after is completely inconsistent with what he has done, and this country is always lucky, deceitful and untrustworthy.
Every time I ordered him not to disturb Silla, someone said that he would obey his fate, but in the blink of an eye, he would not stop invading, and it was the same as the secret arrow that hurt people.
Accumulating his treacherous and evil intentions, even the sky abandons it, what else to talk about taking it in! From now on, I will not send those bits and pieces of tribute, even beautiful women are not rare!
One is "The Edict of Li Simo as the Khan": "The Jieli tribesmen live in the desert ......"
The Jieli tribe lives in the northern desert, and since the Zhenguan Dynasty, even the clothing has gradually converged in the interior, and the northern Yuanrong alien race dares to speak out, and the Jieli tribe will be eradicated for me!
The late Grand Chieftain Simo, who was martyred in Goryeo, lost his loyalty and wisdom, and had no way to express his longing. Posthumously presented the king of Huaihua County and the Khan of the Jieli Department, and gave the surname Li.
The rule of the country is based on honesty and deception, and the royal majesty is based on faithfulness.
We can only be diligent in government affairs, stay away from evil people, get close to upright people, do not indulge in arrogance, do not tend to be greedy, conscientious, and work together to contribute to the community!
The first cup of wine was offered to Shen Guogong, and the second cup of wine was given to Simo and all the fallen soldiers. The third glass of wine, everyone drank it all.
……
In the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, in the early morning of November 21, the gate of Chang'an was just opened.
Five young rangers from the Longxing Ranch of the Tang Dynasty, escorting Jin Huanming, the guard of the Iron Urn City, who was like ashes, galloped in from the Chunming Gate, followed by Sun Run, the middle chief of Mabu Lang, and his escorts.
The people of Chang'an had already received the news and flocked to both sides of the inner street of Chunmingmen to watch.
Wai Lang, one of the five yamen of the military department, was already waiting in the Chunming Gate, and personally led the triumphant members of the Longxing Ranch to Shangshu Province along the street.
Along the street, the old and young residents of Shengye Fang, the vendors of Dongshi, the guys of Chongrenfang Musical Instrument Shop, the geisha of Pingkang Fang Sanqu, the Wang Sun of Wubenfang, the Duchess of Xingdaofang, Yahuan, and servants were all crowded together regardless of status, just to witness this grand event.
Everyone knows who was escorted from Goryeo for a long time, but because of the words of Shang Shuling Gao Jun, this person was arrested from Iron Urn City to Chang'an by Longxing Ranch.
At that time, the military department said that it was November 23, and some people thought it was impossible, but Longxing Ranch did it two days ahead of schedule.
Before people could see the real thing, the horse team had already galloped past, so many people hurried to Ziwuyu without stopping, and the government had already reported that the execution was there.
Jin Huanming was escorted directly to the lobby of the Criminal Department, and Liu Dewei, the secretary of the Criminal Department, sat upright.
He is the highest-ranking official in the hall and under the hall today, but he was told that he did not have to interrogate him personally, first, the case had already been decided, and second, Jin Huanming was not qualified enough.
Lord Liu is here, completely to give face to the five herding teams of Longxing Ranch.
The presiding judge is only a small chief in the yamen of a certain department under the Criminal Department, and from the ninth rank to the top, he was arranged to do this, which is really enough to cool Jin Huanming.
His duty was to summon the prisoners in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment when there was an amnesty, and to listen to the announcement. When there was no amnesty, he was responsible for managing the prisoner of war booklets, distributing rations and medicine to them. Today is the first time I have sat here interrogating people.
"Are you Kim Hwan-myung, the guard of the Goryeo National Railway Urn City?" The main interrogation.
Jin Huanming nodded wordlessly.
"But you let go of a poisoned arrow at the head of the Iron Urn City?"
Jin Huanming finally straightened his chest, "It's the general, in the Goryeo Kingdom, the only one who can use this poisonous arrow is the general." I don't have anything to say about being caught by you, I just want to see your Shang Shuling, and I just want to see how he is different from ordinary people. ”
The chief judge replied to him, only a slight snort in his nose, "You are also worthy." ”
Jin Huanming bowed his head in a dejected manner, stopped talking, and let a few people who drove cattle come here, don't mention anything.
I only heard the chief judge say, "Jin Huanming, a prisoner from Iron Urn City, rushed to the tomb of General Ziwuyu Simo to carry out the 'punishment of ten thousand arrows'!" ”
