Chapter 127: The New Official Arrives
However, it was said that Deng Tong, the prefect of Jeju, saw the envoy from Yuncheng come to report that Liang Shanbo had killed the official army and that the new soldier and horse supervisor Dang Shixiong had been killed by an arrow, and he lost his temper and fell on the spot. After that, he only cried bitterly, knowing that no one could uncover this sin for him. That Yangsanbo is in Jeju, as the prefect, but there are such huge thieves under his rule, how can he be blameless?
When he returned to the back hall, he ordered someone to invite the cadres of the Taiwei Mansion and said: "Our house first lost Huang An and Jiang Lei, lost many horses, and none of the 3,000 people who went came back, and the people still have many complaints. Subsequently, Captain Lai supported and dispatched troops, and the lower officials also urged the local counties to organize and train volunteer and brave soldiers, and the party capital supervised 6,000 soldiers to chase after them, and they were all lost. The party was imprisoned and died, and Yang Zhi returned alone, and the thieves killed the officials, soldiers, and civilians I don't know how many of them, and there was a disaster, a big disaster. ”
"In this big defeat, the people of Jeju are already poor, and if they have to carry out three more expeditions, I am afraid that no one will dare to respond. Just like Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty's three expeditions to Goguryeo, no one is willing to die anymore. "And without local volunteers, if you want to conquer Liangshan, you can only rely on regular officers and soldiers, and the lack of 5,000 men and horses is all panicking. And why did the small Jeju government send 5,000 troops? Why did the small Liangshanbo go to such a large army to conquer? The lid won't be covered.
Deng Tong was pregnant with a ghost fetus in his belly, and he was dumbfounded, so he could only quickly call someone to report to Tokyo.
On this day, Deng Tong was meditating in the study, and he saw a report from the Cheng Bureau: "There is a new official arriving at the East Gate Receiving Pavilion, and he is flying to report here." Deng Tongxian secretly said that he was in a hurry, hurriedly got on the horse, and came to the official pavilion outside the east gate, and saw that the dust was rising, and the new official had dismounted in front of the pavilion. Deng Tong took the pavilion and saw each other. The new official took out the Zhongshu Provincial Replacement Document to live with Deng Tong. The latter looked at it, and immediately went to the state government with the new official to hand over the card seals, money and grain from the government treasury. At that moment, a feast will be arranged for the new officials. During the banquet, the two of them inevitably talked about Liangshan, and Deng Tong found that the person who came did not know much about Liangshanbo, and he was secretly strange at the moment, but he also talked about the Liangshanbo thieves and thieves who killed the officials and soldiers. Unexpectedly, the new official's face was as usual, and there was even a hint of excitement between his eyebrows. I thought in my heart: "This Uncle Zhang is so bold. If I am changed, my courage has been broken. ”
But I don't know that Uncle Zhang likes to talk about military affairs when he is young. When he grew up, he joined the army as an ancestor and served as a recorder in Lanzhou. At this time, Lanzhou was located in the northwest border of the Song Dynasty, relying on the Yellow River moat, but every winter when the Yellow River froze, it had to be on alert to prevent the Qiang people from invading. Zhang Shuye thought that this was not the way to go on for a long time, so he personally crossed the river to investigate, and found a place called Tiandu, which was the key point between the five roads, and every time the Qiang people invaded, they had to assemble here first. According to the nearby terrain, Zhang Shuye seized Dadu and built a defensible city called Xi'an Prefecture in Dadu to guard the northwest border. This move effectively curbed the intrusion of the Qiang people, and relieved the soldiers who were trapped on the river in the past and could not relieve their armor for many months, so that Lanzhou would no longer have Qiang troubles.
Zhang Shuye also sent an envoy to the Liao State to shoot arrows with the Liao people, and hit the target first. After returning from the mission, Zhang Shuye drew the mountains and rivers, cities, costumes, rituals and other materials of the Liao Kingdom, and presented them to Zhao Ji.
During the Daguan period of Song Huizong, he was a member of the treasury department and a young man of Kaifeng Mansion. Soon after, he was given the background of Jinshi and moved to the right division of the foreign lang. In the third year of Daguan (1109), Zhang Shuye participated in the impeachment of Cai Jing from his younger brother Zhang Kegong, which forced Cai Jing to step down, and Cai Jing became a feud with Zhang and angered Zhang Shuye. After the resurrection, he secretly collected Zhang Shuye's faults and demoted Zhang Shuye to the supervisor of Xi'an Grassland.
Two years ago, he was recalled to Beijing as a secretary and young eunuch, and later he was promoted to a scholar and a minister. once again became a thorn in Cai Jing's eyes.
is now kicked to Jeju to be the prefect, but it is the product of Cai Jing's communication with Gao Yu.
When the news of Dang Shixiong's death reached the Taiwei Mansion, Gao Yusheng dropped his favorite pen wash. It is said to be a relic of Su Dongpo. Gao Yu's career has Su Shi's cause and effect, and Su Shi still takes good care of his descendants after his death. Therefore, this Dongpo brush wash is also a very favorite thing for him.
Of course, whether this is an illusion deliberately made by Gao Yu, if he wants to show his old gratitude, it will not be known to outsiders.
Anyway, this Gao Taiwei is angry, and his stomach hurts.
His first reaction was to mobilize a large army and conquer Liangshanbo. The death of the Dang brothers is like a slap in the face, this matter is not only Gao Kan's personal vendetta, but also his Gao Yu's face.
But his uncalm impulse was stopped by Cai Jing.
The treacherous and cunning Cai Jing believes that there needs to be a transition before the army can be openly mobilized to conquer Liangshan. You can find a disobedient character and put it in Jeju Mansion, and when he can't exterminate the Liangshan thieves by 'no means', he only needs to write a book, and Gao Yu can get his wish.
That Liangshanbo is holding the canal and the water hostage, and the location is important, and the emperor will be shocked when he sees it.
This conquest of Liangshan was a decision that Cai Jing also agreed with, because he wanted to unite Gao Yu. Tong Guan's performance in the northwest is getting better and better, and Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian in the inner court have more and more voice. is Cai Jing who needs to rely on Liang Shicheng in many things.
This dog gelding is good at greeting, and he is gracious. The emperor only regarded him as an inferior servant, but because of this, he promoted him to a close minister, and all the emperor's edicts came from his hands, and he chose those petty officials who were good at calligraphy to practice imitating the font of Huizong, and mixed it in the edict to promulgate, and the court officials could not and did not dare to distinguish the authenticity.
Since he entered the political peace, it has only been a few years, and it is no longer to be underestimated.
But who is Cai Jing? Although he was good friends with Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian's generation, he was unwilling to be willing to join him. Now that Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian are inside, Tong Guan is outside, and he has military power, he is naturally willing to win over Gao Yu.
Cai Jingke has always attached great importance to military power. At the beginning, he only regained from the south of the Yangtze River, and just sat down in Tokyo, so he built four auxiliaries, Zheng, Cao, and Gongzhou, with 20,000 soldiers per auxiliary, and used his in-laws and cronies Song Qiaonian and Hu Shiwen as the county guards. The Beijing Forbidden Army gave 500 a month for night patrols, and Cai Jing immediately increased it tenfold to buy people's hearts.
Today's Taishi Cai is less than seventy years old, and his mind is healthy, and Jiang Gui's sex is old and spicy, but not during the Xuanhe period (1119-1125).
As a result, Zhang Shuye was kicked out of Tokyo again by Cai Jing, but compared to the previous Xi'an grassland supervisor, the official position of the Jeju prefect can be regarded as a powerful position.
Deng Tong left. He knew that he was going to suffer a sin, so he had already dealt with his belongings, and his family members also commanded him. After handing over to Uncle Zhang, he packed his clothes and luggage the next day, and went to Tokyo to listen to the crime.
And the newly appointed Uncle Zhang, after learning about the situation in Jeju in detail in the following days, only had a bitter face.
No wonder Cai Jing's old thief would 'lift' him with this deed, but it was such a ground and such a house. First, there are no strong generals, and second, there is no fighting spirit of the people, only relying on Jeju's own strength, how to capture this group of strongmen? What if these guys came to the city every once in a while to borrow food, as they did a few days ago, they were helpless?
As an old man who has been in the official palace for a long time, Zhang Shuye also saw the paper about Yang Zhi's punishment. At a glance, he knew that Yang Zhi was wronged, and the credit of Yuncheng County was false; And after this Yang Zhi is still a famous family, according to the survivors of the last war, his martial arts are extraordinary. If it can be saved, Yang Zhi has not yet been sent to the road, and Uncle Zhang will have a fierce general in his hands.
But after thinking about it a few times, Uncle Zhang was still determined to let go.
He has just taken office, so it is better not to have a stiff quarrel with his subordinates for the sake of a Yang Zhi.
You must know that after Cao Jing's 'good news' reached the state capital, in the following days, the two counties of Naqinghe and Juye also sent 'good news' one after another, saying that they had retreated from the Liangshan bandits who had disturbed the county's governance. And the three counties of Dong'e, Rencheng, and Zhongdu, which are a little far away from Shuibo, also have documents sent by Liangshan thieves who harassed the county border and were repulsed.
Obviously, there is more than one Yuncheng County in Jeju that has been extorted by thieves. If this is to remove the sin for Yang Zhi, it will be difficult to make up for the hole in Yuncheng County, and other counties will inevitably do the same. He Uncle Zhang only came to the Jeju prefect at night, and he exonerated all the prefects under him. How will you be a member of the Board of Directors in the future?
This Yang Zhi, his fate is obedient, he really fell into blood mold.
