Chapter 246: The Post Office in Tokyo
The decisions made in the court were quickly reflected outside the court. First of all, the thunder Ling Zhen was full of disaster.
The street rat Zhang San has always left a mind in the Ling family, and he can hear that his subordinates have reported that the government has raided the Ling family. I hurried over to take a look, but I saw a door of men and women crying and mourning, dozens of old and young, everyone criticized the padlocks, and it was very miserable. Each of them had an endless sparkle of horror in their eyes.
Zhang San didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly asked his brothers to find errands and help the idle to investigate. In the evening, the truth was revealed. Zhang San shook his head and sighed at the belief in front of him, "This thunder is really blind to my loyalty. ”
Lu Qian wasted a lot of thought for him, and pulled back from the palace of the king of Hades, so kindness and righteousness could not be exchanged for Ling Zhen's companionship and service, and he was loyal and sincere to the old Zhao family.
Who would have expected that the son of heaven of the Zhao family would listen to some nonsense without any evidence, and actually raid his house and destroy him, although Zhang San knew that there would inevitably be another really good man in the cottage, but he also felt sad that Ling Zhen's fierce loyalty to the court was so ruined.
"Brother, I really see the world clearly now, reversing black and white, good people have no reward. Our brothers followed you to Liangshan. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee that this sin is not ours. ”
The imperial court sent troops to conquer Liangshanbo twice, and the military households in Tokyo City suffered a lot of losses, and some of them were ruined and killed by the military households.
What makes a brother like Zhang San feel cold is that these military households whose families are ruined are mostly martyrs who stained the battlefield with the blood of the old Zhao family. On the contrary, those who have served Liangshanbo have the post office to go back and forth, even if it takes three or two months to get it, life has become better.
A group of street rats are hiding in the dark of Tokyo City, and the core characters have expanded from a few people at the beginning to thirty or forty people now. The origin of the inside is complex, and the dragon and snake are mixed. There are green skins on the streets, there are errand helpers, and there are also idle military children. They all know more or less about their connection with Liang Shanbo. And the peripheral characters are even more than 100 people. Zhang San only needs to pay a small amount of money to sit at home and collect a large number of news in Tokyo. There are true and false, important and useless. However, this will greatly prevent them from being targeted by the Imperial City Division's lawyers.
This old Zhao family's Imperial City Division can be compared to the brocade guards of the old Zhu family in the official history. Don't look at the fact that people are not very famous in the official history, but this is by no means to say that they are forced.
At the beginning, Zhao Boss used unprecedented strength to assign a large number of elite troops to the Wude Division (the predecessor of the Imperial City Division), and established a new army independent of the palace front division and the guards. Zeng said: "Although there are police in Beijing, there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the imperial city. ”。 It can be seen that the scale of Wu Desi was huge when Zhao Boss was the boss. When it came to Zhao Laoer, he openly promoted the talented and brave as a personal official. According to records, the standard height of the pro-servant official is (Song ruler) 5 feet 9 inches 1 minute 6 centimeters, which is about 185 ~ 190 cm today, which can be described as a contrast with the Han general of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Wei. At that time, there were thousands of personal officials of the Imperial City Division. At the present time, the Imperial City Division still has about 3,000 people under the five commanders (number: the first command, the second command, the third command, the fourth command, and the fifth command); There are about 5,000 people in the six commands of the family officers (number: the next commander, the second commander, the third commander, the fourth commander, the fifth commander, and the outer three commanders, the yellow courtyard, and the soap courtyard); and into the inner courtyard there were five hundred; There are 100 for each of the fast and long lines. The scale is unusually powerful, but the efficiency is much lower than the rumored Jinyi Guard. After all, the real partner of the old Zhao family is a literati doctor. The existence of the Imperial City Division inherently threatens the Shidaifu Group.
But the threat of the Imperial City Division to Zhang San and them is still real.
In addition to collecting information, Jang San is now the head of the Yangsanpo Post Office in the Gyeonggi area. The gradual development of the post office business was even more labor-intensive than intelligence gathering.
The person opposite Zhang San is his confidant brother, and even in terms of blood, there is still a trace of relationship between them. Their ancestors were all soldiers who fought in Chenzhou and entered Beijing, although they were not brothers, but they could also be said to be the same clan. More than 100 years have passed, and the bloodline has long faded into water, but the two still have a trace of closeness.
This person's surname is naturally surnamed Zhang, and his name is Zhang Liu, this is not because they have many brothers, he is the sixth. It's because his father is always a loser when he plays money. So he wanted his son to win money, so he took the maximum number of dice, and called Zhang Liu.
This Zhang Liu is not Zhang San's deputy, his job is only to deliver urgent information. is the core figure of the Tokyo branch, and few people have met him, and many people don't even know that there is such a person.
"Brother, be careful on the road." Zhang San instructed.
The number of pigeons in Liangshanpo is still relatively limited, and although Tokyo City is only 300 miles away from Liangshanpo, it has not yet become popular. Whenever there is a message, it needs to be delivered by manpower. And important news, which needs to be delivered by multiple people in different batches.
This is a case in point.
Thunder Lingzhen became He Guan's scapegoat, and the whole door was copied by the government, which is one of them; The second is that the imperial court takes Gao Yu, the commander of the palace marshal's mansion, as the commander, and wants to raise an army of 100,000 cavalry to conquer Liangshanbo.
This news will not be false, not only from many sources to get a definite answer, but also from the market There are already legends. There is a saying that this is an opportunity given by the official family to Gao Yu to wipe his buttocks clean after pooping. It was that Gao Yu who mobilized a group of elite soldiers to fight for the future. Seriously, it was very unexpected to call Zhang San.
He always looked at Gao Yu with the senses of a flattering villain, and felt that he should not be prone to danger, but he didn't expect that Gao Yu was still very decisive when necessary. Liang Shanbo made such a big fuss, how could Zhao Tianzi not hear about it? It's just a matter of triggering but not triggering. But Gao Yu, who has served this master for many years, knows that this son of heaven has never been a person who does not hold grudges. The momentum in the court was very wrong that day, and it seemed that someone wanted to ignore Cai Jing's decency to squeeze himself. Rather than the emperor being "forced to attack" himself, it is better for him to jump out first and make an end.
The other one is He Guan. This person was sent by the imperial court to Yongzhou as a regimental training envoy, but this is a demotion of officials, not a real allocation, and he is not sure when he will leave Beijing.
The news is in triplicate, and Zhang Liu is one of them.
Look at the city of Puzhou again. Thousands of defeated troops have now been rectified and settled by Liu Zhen, and they have also received the support of the Guangji Army and Xingren Mansion. Because the Tokyo court did not want Liangshanbo's tentacles to extend into Gyeonggi, nor did they want to see Nanjing Yingtianfu suffer. Therefore, the two cities in the northwestern direction of Jingxi Road, which were blocked along the Guangji River (Jishui) in the west of Jeju and along the Yellow River in the west of Puzhou, were also dragged into the muddy waters. The remnants of Puzhou are led by Liu Zhen and Pan Yuan is the deputy.
After experiencing the previous war, Liu Zhen's love for the martial arts generals Guan Sheng is from the heart.
The scenes of the past clearly told him that fighting a war relied on true skills, and Guan Sheng was a person with real skills. What's more, Guan Sheng looks like an ancestor, which can add impression points.
But since Guan Sheng received the news from Tokyo City, he was quite depressed in his heart. He Guan, who appreciated him, was sent to Yongzhou, far away, and the next time he was going to lead the army to come, it was Gao Yu, a well-known lucky villain. He is a minister who plays football, and he knows how to lead the troops to fight with a bird.
How can you keep him in a good mood?
Gao Yu. That's Gao Yu.
Guan Sheng, who has not experienced the previous defeat, may also bow down to Gao Yu for his own fame. But after experiencing the previous defeat, he saw the power of Liang Shanbo - the side reflected the power of Lu Qian, Lin Chong and others, so how could he face the second year of high school calmly?
Lu Qian, a strong and righteous character with high means, was forced by him to have no way out, and the virtue of this bird made Guan Sheng vomit when he thought about it.
After all, Guan Sheng had seen Lu Qian's ability and atmosphere with his own eyes, and such a good man made him unable to dislike it. Even if Lu Qian is a-for-tat enemy, it is also an enemy worthy of admiration.
And although Gao Yu is someone in the same camp as him, and Guan Sheng knows very well that Gao Yu is his superior. But mentally, he really can't regard Gao Yu as "his own person". Guan Sheng is like this, Jing Muqian is also like this, and Tang Bin doesn't need to say it.
He wanted to flee to Liangshanbo after killing people, and a big reason was Lu Qian's name of 'Righteous Bo Yuntian'. This Gao Yu and the three of them are not in agreement.
As for the tragedy of Lei Lingzhen's family, the three of them didn't say anything. Gai because the three of them all agreed with He Guan's "false accusation", such a divine weapon, if it wasn't for Ling Zhen's dedication to Liang Shanbo, how could it suddenly come out?
And in the defeat of Fan County, the three of them also agreed with He Guan's words. That was indeed defeated in the hands of the Liangshan stone artillery, otherwise even if it was defeated in the end, it would not have been defeated in a short period of time; And the rout of the army did not cause damage to the Liangshan army.
Think about the men and horses of Liangshanbo, and then think about the armament of the army. Now those armor swords and guns have all belonged to the Liangshan thieves, and when the next time they are requisitioned by the imperial army, the Liangshan Bojia soldiers will probably no longer be 10,000 or 20,000, but 350,000.
Under the moonlight, the three of them didn't feel that they had come to the north of the city, and there was a wall in front of them, but the three of them seemed to be able to feel the cold air from the surging river not far away through this wall.
Guan Sheng stood up and said: "On the ground, the vision is small, why don't the two virtuous brothers walk to the city wall with their brothers?" As he spoke, the half-moon in the sky was coming out of a black cloud, and the moonlight was shining on the city walls, as if it had been covered with a layer of white. Hao Siwen said yes to Tang Bin, and the three of them walked up the ramp to the city, and met the patrolling sentry.
Puzhou City is not far from Fan County, and the Liangshan thieves' horses are still passing in front of the city during the day. In Puzhou City, from Liu Zhen down, no one dares to take it lightly.
The three of them stood on the city wall and looked around, a few clouds were covered in the clear sky, and in the distance of the moon ring, there were three or five sparse stars matching. Holding the battlements in his hand, looking out of the city, the white air in the distance is diffuse, covering the earth, but there are a few clusters of villages nearby, surrounded by black shadows, looking at the extreme, the wilderness is heavy, only two or three fires flicker, sparsely separated. The climb is the North City Tower, the camp is stationed in the east of the city, separated by a small half of the city, and the sound of fighting is still sent through the air.
Guan Sheng held the saber hanging from his waist in his hand, looked due north, and seemed to be able to see the big river that stretched for thousands of miles, and sighed two or three times. How vast and mighty, but how many disasters it has brought to the people on both sides of the strait, this is very important.
When he left Pudongdong that day, it was like the mighty wind of the Yellow River. It's a pity, and now it's a lot of disasters.
Tang Bin followed behind him and asked, "Brother is surprisingly surprised tonight, doesn't he miss his sister-in-law and nephew at home?" ”
Guan Sheng said: "Brother Xian, how can I be a layman who cares about my family." When the husband was born in this world, he should carry a three-foot sword and make contributions. But now, for the sake of brother and public servant, he can't clean up the thieves, let alone clean up the king's side and rectify the situation? For private reasons, you can't serve your parents under your knees, and do your filial piety. Guan Sheng, who has always claimed to be the world's first-rate person, now finds that he has "achieved nothing".
Hao Siwen stood aside with his crossed hands, looked up at the moon, and was speechless.
"Clean up the side of the monarch and straighten things out?" Tang Bin smacked his tongue, "This is what my brother thinks?" It's huge. ”
He Tang someone never thought about it in his heart.
As the saying goes, you don't care what you eat. You are eating the food of a small soldier, can you the heart of a national minister? Tang Bin had always thought so before. But looking at it now, there are really such 'stupid' fools in the world.
Hao Siwen has been with Guan Sheng for the longest time, and he is very aware of his brother-in-law's ambitions. That's really: there is Ling Yunzhi in the flat body, and he has never opened his arms for half his life. Guan Sheng, who takes his ancestors as an example in everything, has the greatest ambition in his life to purge the traitorous party in the imperial court and help the king, that is, to raise a brigade of strong soldiers, the Northern Expedition to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and promote the Tianwei of the Central Plains. Chengcheng did not dare to accept the prince of the imperial court, but wished to take the marquis of Hanshouting.
If the imperial court is unwilling to make an exception, Han Shouhou is also unavoidable. Even if the title of the old Zhao family can only be enjoyed for one lifetime, not hereditary descendants, he will die without regrets.
But where did you think of it, just out of Pudong, he encountered the Liangshan giant and ended up like this? Not to mention that Guan Sheng, who has a lot of skills, is lonely, even he Hao Siwen is not a good feeling in his heart.
