Volume 9 National Turmoil Chapter 360 Encountering the Old Man Again
There is still a trace of chill in the wind, but the breath of spring has become stronger and stronger, the mountain flowers are splendid, full of greenery, you can see the shepherd boy flute in the willows everywhere, the mandarin ducks in the blue wave are churning, this is the territory of Lucheng County, Shangdang County, Hedong, the war in Hebei is far from affecting here, although there are troops crossing the border from time to time, but it has not affected the lives of the people here.
At noon on this day, a cavalry team of dozens of people galloped from the west, the roar of the horses' hooves echoed between the mountains, Shangdang County was surrounded by the surrounding mountains, the terrain was extremely high, the official road was also correspondingly winding and rugged, sometimes undulating, the cavalry rushed up a mountain beam, the distant turbid water flowed like a jade belt on the green earth, a huge military camp could be seen in the distance on the west bank of the river, it was bathed in the warm spring sun, the cavalry cheered, immediately increased their speed, and rushed straight to the bottom of the hill.
This huge military camp is Zhang Huan's camping place, in addition to Zhang Huan's 5,000 personal guards in the barracks, there are more than 20,000 people who are Pei Mingyao preparing to bring into Chang'an's Hebei Army, they are on the Shangdang County when they learned the news of Hebei's defeat, most of the sergeants are Hebei Dao people, hearing that Hebei has fallen, the soldiers are no longer willing to move forward, the military heart began to change dramatically, thousands of people fled overnight, Pei Mingyao couldn't stop drinking, only took a hundred people to flee to Chang'an in a panic, at this time, it happened that Wang Siyu's army passed by the party, and the rest of the troops defected to the Longyou Army.
A few days ago, Wang Siyu's army had already gone north to Handan to intercept the momentum of Tuoba Qianli's attack, while Zhang Huan stayed in Shangdang to wait for news from Luoyang and Yejun.
At this moment, the outside of the big tent was heavily guarded, and nearly a thousand personal guards guarded the tent. No one is allowed to approach, and in the handsome tent, Zhang Huan is receiving an old man who has come from afar.
This person is Li Mi, who has disappeared for several years and has been hard to find, when Zhang Huan was facing a fateful choice. He appeared, helped Zhang Huan establish the strategic goal of occupying Hexi to establish a foundation, and then when Zhang Huan established a firm foothold in Hexi, he said goodbye and disappeared, and today, when Zhang Huan is about to face a new fate choice, he mysteriously appeared. =UC eBook-First-Release=
Judging from the appearance, Li Mi has not changed much, just like back then. He was wearing a white-washed robe, his beard and hair were already silver-white, and he was like a fairy, but his complexion was very ruddy, and his eyes were full of energy, and he looked radiant.
"In the past few years, Lao Dao has been practicing in Hengshan, as if he had just woken up from a dream. When Lao Dao comes down the mountain again, the world has changed, and in just seven or eight years, you are about to fulfill your father's last wish, so it is time for Lao Dao's last knot to be untied. ”
Li Mi's speech speed was very slow, in front of Zhang Huan, who he hadn't seen for several years. He also felt a trace of strangeness, which was due to the change in Zhang Huan's temperament. Eight years ago, the slightly confused, slightly jerky young man has disappeared, and has become the quiet and unfathomable Tang Dynasty military department in front of him, he saw that Zhang Huan listened carefully to his own story, and did not mean to interject, so he smiled and said: "The so-called untie knot is to complete the responsibility of Yu Taishu to trust the orphan, of course, your position is the trend of the times, without me can also take the last step, but I want to put forward some suggestions for the future." I wonder if you'd like to hear it? ”
Although Li Mi claimed to practice in the mountains. But Zhang Huan knew that he had actually been by his side not far away, for so many years. He is paying attention to his every move, like Shi Hu Weiyong, the governor of Longyou Jiedu, wasn't he introduced? It's just that he doesn't want to interfere too much with his own actions, otherwise how could he go down the mountain so coincidentally?
Zhang Huan smiled slightly and said, "Sir, but it's okay to talk about it!" ”
Li Mi pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Presumably your mother has already given you your identity, not only that, but you can actually find your information in the old file of Zongzheng Temple, which was specially added for you by your father back then, so what I want to say is not how you ascended the throne, there is no suspense about this, but you must start to establish several systems after you ascend the throne." (Starter)"
Speaking of this, Li Mi stood up, he slowly walked to a huge sand table with his hands behind his back, stared at the mountains and rivers of Hebei Province and Henan Province on the sand table, and continued for a long time: "Gaozu and Taizong created the Tang Empire, which was strong for a hundred years but suffered from the Anshi Rebellion, the collapse of the society, the rise of the family, and then evolved into a warlord division, a rebellion in the Central Plains almost destroyed the entire Henan Province, there was Huma in the north to invade the south, and Tubo in the west to peep into the east, the Tang Dynasty can be described as extremely weak, and the war has been plagued for many years because of the bad military system. But the root cause is still a land issue, so if you don't carry out land reform, then the Tang Empire you re-established will sooner or later enter the end of Tianbao
Zhang Huan listened silently, still did not interrupt Li Yudi's narration, of course he is also very aware of the importance of land, for this reason he pioneered the military household field acre system, the original by the local government to control the excess idle land for the military control, in exchange for land for soldiers, facts have proved that it is this system that makes him finally stand out among many local warlords, master the power of the world, but can win the world immediately, how can it be ruled immediately, by the army to control the land is only to meet the needs of the local confrontation against the imperial court, if the world is not changed after the world, Once he dies, who can control local generals such as He Lou Wuji, Wang Siyu, Li Shuangyu, Lin Jiuhan and so on? Sooner or later, it will still follow in the footsteps of the Central Plains Rebellion, or even worse, so in order to solve the problem of warlord secession, it is necessary to establish a new military system, but to establish a new military system, the land problem will inevitably be encountered.
While thinking, he listened attentively to Li Mi's words, "The reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to be strong for a hundred years at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty was not only because of the Pao Ming Chenxian, I thought that the system I had formulated at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty was proper. The government military system makes the soldiers sufficient and the soldiers are trained and skilled, which not only ensures the absolute control of the imperial court over the army, but also ensures that there is no worry about the warlords, which is military governance; Then there is the system of three provinces and six ministries, with the power of the balance of the bubble, the left phase to balance the right phase, to the imperial history of the platform to supervise the hundred officials, to the six departments of the strategy, to the nine temples to specialize in its skills, such a complete set of power check and balance system, so that the bubble can not do whatever he wants, the phase can not be arbitrary, this is the most important local government officials. ”
Li Yudi's eyes flashed with the light of wisdom, and a long-lost excitement began to appear again, this is his political ideal, the people are rich, the army is strong, the officials are clear, and the bubble is bright, coupled with the imperial examination to select talents, and no longer limit the succession to the throne, so, how can the Tang Dynasty no longer achieve Zhongxing, and how can it not be strong from generation to generation.
Zhang Huan is unusually calm, his eyes are as deep as the sea, it should be said that what Li Mi said is deeply in line with his heart, taking advantage of the fact that a large amount of land is barren at this time to rebuild the uniform land system, abolish the conscription system, and re-implement the government military system, these are all his thoughtful thoughts, the old things are not necessarily bad, the key is that after a long time, all kinds of drawbacks will come out, but when disrupting the old order and rebuilding the new dynasty, as long as there are some revisions in the effective system from the front, summarize the lessons and lessons, and make up for the shortcomings, we can also build brilliance again.
After a long time, Zhang Huan smiled slightly and said: "If you are born, you must first enter the world, if Mr. is interested, how about educating me a few children's books?" ”
Li Mi went down to rest, but Zhang Huan was slowly pacing in the tent with his hands behind his back, he was a very organized person, everything was planned and then moved, Shicai and what Li Mi said were the major policies in the future, but now he is just a military secretary, there are still a lot of things to do, and there are many hard bones to gnaw off one by one, Zhang Huan's mind gradually returned to the present, what is the real purpose of his coming to Hebei?
At this time, a report from a pro-soldier came from outside the tent, "Governor Qiqi, news from Luoyang is here." ”
Zhang Huan's spirit suddenly lifted, the reason why he stayed in the party was to wait for news from Luoyang, "Let them in quickly." He walked briskly back to his seat.
After a while, a scout lieutenant walked in quickly, he took out a book, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Report to the governor, Cui Qinggong is dead, Luoyang was recovered by our army three days ago, this is General Lin's letter to you." ”
A personal soldier took the letter and handed it to Zhang Huan, and while opening the letter, he asked, "How was Li Shidao's army put down the rebellion?" ”
This is the only thing that Zhang Huan can't be sure of, as soon as Cui Qinggong dies, the Luoyang rebels will be gone, and it is a matter of time before they fall, the key is Li Shidao, he has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in his hands, and this person is extremely treacherous, and if he doesn't handle it well, he may become a confidant.
"Back to the governor, Li Shidao directly surrendered to Chu Shangshu after ambushing Zhu Tao's army."
"Zhu Tao?" Zhang Huan was stunned, he really didn't know that Zhu Tao would be in Cui Qinggong's army, what was going on? But this thought turned around and put it aside for the time being, he was still concerned about Li Shidao, this person's surrender to Chu Xingshui might not be a good thing.
Zhang Huan opened the letter in a few clicks, read it in a hurry, his face changed instantly, and as expected, Chu Xingshui actually accepted Li Shidao for his own use, which not only has the possibility of raising tigers, but also exposes Chu Xingshui's subconscious, he still wants to base his troops in the southeast, and use the Huainan Army as his backing in the court.
Zhang Huan slowly put down the letter, things are really not so simple, in the face of his own vital interests, no one is willing to let go easily, even his own uncle.
