Chapter 160: Yuzhong

Guzang City, Lingjun Terrace. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Mao was sitting upright in the Ming Hall, and below him were a group of civil and military officials. Today is a court meeting once every ten years, and all major and small matters need to be decided and cannot be delayed. What they are discussing now is related to Zhang Jun.

I saw Zhang Mao holding a document in his hand, raising it to the ministers of Da Liang, and asked: "Guangwu County Shou Zhang Junzuo please stationed in Yuzhong to assist in defense, I don't know what you think?" ”

The military ministers naturally have no opinions on such matters, Zhang Jun has always had a good relationship with the Chinese army, and he has been sent by the military of the capital governor of the foreign army, so the foreign army will not oppose his own top boss. However, the ministers were more considerate.

After all, Zhang Jun is not the master of Da Liang, even if he is a prince, there should be a limit to the force in his hands. Now that the major general has supervised all the foreign armies, and I heard that a new army is also being recruited, if the territory is expanded to Yuzhong, won't it be impossible to check and balance?

At that moment, there was a royal history that said: "Qiyu Prefecture Mu, the land of Yuzhong is originally under the rule of Jincheng County, if the army is stationed by Guangwu County, I am afraid that it will not comply with the system." ”

Zhang Mao smiled and said: "The old general of Jincheng County, Han Pu, has already come to the book, saying that the land of Yuzhong, Jincheng is really powerless to control, and he also hopes that Guangwu County will assist in the defense." ”

When this imperial history heard this, he immediately shut up and retreated. Jincheng's place Jincheng doesn't want it himself, you are still talking about regulations here, aren't you looking for yourself?

In fact, the reason why Zhang Jun went on this course was that he expected the DPRK and China to agree. Because Yuzhong was originally a place for the Huns, after it was occupied by Liangzhou last winter, it did not go deep into the operation, but only sent a man from the Chinese army to station. As a result, there was another flood in the spring, most of the people fled, and it was basically a wasteland, even if he didn't want it, the court would take the initiative to give up sooner or later.

The other courtiers were stunned when they saw this imperial history, and they only thought that he was nosy. The matter of the uncle and nephew, the state pastor must have made a decision a long time ago, and the reason why he took it out to ask in public was just a formality, do you really think he is asking for your opinion?

So everyone else was silent, just waiting for Zhang Mao to announce the results.

Sure enough, as expected by the courtiers, Zhang Mao saw that no one objected, so he put aside the music in his hand and said, "Since the ministers have no opinion, then ······"

Zhang Mao wanted to say, "Then let him do what he asks." But before the words could be spoken, a person suddenly came out and said: "General, the last general thinks it's inappropriate!" ”

"Huh?" The civil and military forces in the hall thought that they had heard it wrong, and they all turned their heads to the one who spoke out, intending to see who was so blind. But when I saw him, I was relieved. Because it was no one else who spoke out to stop it, it was the general in the palace - Jia G.

Anyone who is a little awake knows that since our young general changed his temperament, he has become more and more estranged from his uncle, and now not only do they not communicate with each other, but they are simply like fire and water. But most of the courtiers with a bit of identity are from wealthy families and are well-informed. The fact that Jia Mo and his nephew have repeatedly been deflated by fighting methods has long been spread in small circles.

Therefore, other people's opposition is not open-eyed, but no one is surprised that Jia G is opposed.

In fact, Jia Mo did not object to Zhang Jun's control of Yuzhong because he had to gamble. Although the theft of Guangwu County's armor was broken by Zhang Jun, none of this would cause any damage to the Jia family, even if he stabbed Zhang Mao, he would be reprimanded at most. He knows too well what kind of temperament his eldest brother is, in a word, he cherishes his feathers too much, and refuses to bear even the slightest infamy.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Jia family is the widow of the predecessor Liang Zheng, and the elder brother is easy to attract people to gossip, if he doesn't even let go of his brother's wife, is it too ruthless? That's why Jia Mo dared to be so fearless, he understood that Zhang Mao's bottom line was very low, and as long as he didn't really make a rebellion, he would get by.

But this place in Yuzhong really can't be touched by Zhang Jun, because this place is along the big river, and it is a necessary place for the Jia family to smuggle to the Xiongnu and Han Kingdoms! If Zhang Jun takes control of this place, then the Jia family can only face two choices, either stop it and stop selling forbidden goods to the Xiongnu; Either they have to find another way and reopen the smuggling route.

But in fact, Jia G knew very well in his heart that neither of these two should be advisable!

Let's talk about the first road first, it is impossible for the Jia family to stop, because it is too deep. In fact, smuggling is an extremely lucrative business, and not only Jia's main house is doing it, but other side houses are not idle. Similarly, among these people involved, there are also a large number of gate valve clans that the Jia family has brought over through marriage. Some of them live in the court, some have been in the military for a long time, and some are wealthy businessmen. To put it simply, smuggling is an industrial chain, and even if Jia G wants to quit, it is not so easy to quit.

Looking at the second way, opening up new smuggling routes may seem easy, but in fact it is full of difficulties. Even if the Jia family is in power, this is a shady thing after all. Doing it secretly, Zhang Mao will tolerate it if he knows it, but if it is a big fanfare, it will step on the bottom line of others. Therefore, the land in Yuzhong is where Jia's long-term business is located. When it still belonged to the Xiongnu, the Jia family opened many shops in the local area. Later, Yulin was occupied by the Liang army, and the Chinese army master who was stationed was also successfully bought. Before and after, in order to stabilize this line, Jia Shi doesn't know how much money to share the benefits, if everything is repeated, then why not die?

Therefore, Jia G must be opposed, even if he has no reason at all.

Zhang Mao smiled, his eyes showed a gaze that seemed to have seen through everything a long time ago, he sat down in his seat, and asked unhurriedly: "General in the palace, what does the matter in Yuzhong have to do with you?" ”

Indeed, although Jia Mo still bears the title of General Jianwei, this is not his dispatch, his real job is the general in the palace, that is, responsible for the protection of the palace and the palace ban. The matter discussed by Zhang Mao and the ministers was that he had nothing to do with him, and it was not his turn to speak.

Now we can see some of Zhang Mao's intentions to make Jia Ji the general in the palace, although he handed over the most important security work to Jia Mao, but also deprived him of the right to speak and govern. As long as Jia G does not dare to openly make trouble for a day, then he will not be able to talk about politics for a day. Even if someone is willing to be his tongue, in Zhang Mao's eyes, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Sure enough, Jia Ji was choked after hearing this, so he had to say dryly: "The last general also cares about his nephew······

"Hahahaha!" Zhang Mao smiled: "Jun'er dares to do anything, this is a good thing, don't worry about it!" As he spoke, he didn't wait for Jia G to speak again, so he waved his hand and said, "The quasi-Guangwu County Guard Office invites Yulin to be included in its jurisdiction." The Chinese army originally stationed in Yulin will return on the same day without delay! ”

············································ I'm the dividing line of corn, lalalala···········································

Yuzhong, on the banks of the great river.

Zhang Jun was strolling on the river embankment with Chen Zhen, the chief officer of the army planning and guard department.

"Governor, this newly built embankment is different, I never thought that watering the boulder with lime could be so strong."

"Haha!" Zhang Jun pointed to the surging river and said: "Don't underestimate the lime, in the future, it will not only be a big river, but also a big river, and a thousand miles of white embankment will be built." ”

Yes, the newly built embankment has been named the White Causeway because of its whitening color.

Chen Zhen also sighed: "The last general is willing to follow the governor of Dadu to the death and restore China." ”

"That's right······" Zhang Jun tilted his head slightly, looked at Chen Zhen, who was one step behind him, and asked, "Is Chen Senjun's family also going to move to Guangwu again?" ”

Chen Zhen was shocked when she heard this. The letter to Guzang's family was written three days ago, and now the letter should have just arrived in Guzang, and how did the governor know the content of the letter? He vaguely knew some things that Zhang Jun ordered the Chen Chamber of Commerce to organize and do, after all, the personnel were transferred from the army, and he was in charge of the information of all the soldiers. But what Chen Zhen didn't expect was that the internal supervision of the metropolitan governor was also so strict.

"Yes······" Chen Zhen didn't need to hide it, and said 1510: "Guangwu is in ruins, and the last general really can't get out to go back to Guzang, so it's better to simply let the family members move to Guangwu County." ”

The detailed arrangement of the Chen's Chamber of Commerce has exceeded Zhang Jun's expectations, and with the support of sufficient funds and personnel, it has been fully rolled out both internally and externally. It's not that Zhang Jun doesn't trust his subordinates, but everyone can't be an exception. Intelligence work takes a long time, but things like intercepting letters should be just routine checks.

Zhang Jun confided his tone to Chen Zhen today, and he is also showing his attitude - no one can leave the scope of his rule.

The two continued to walk forward, probably because the matter involved was too sensitive, Chen Zhen didn't speak for a while, and followed behind Zhang Jun in silence. Zhang Jun said suddenly: "It's okay to come, but my sister-in-law and sister traveled all the way from Xijun to the east, and they tossed again and again, and they were really bitter." In this way, the Governor's Mansion that is under construction is also building a number of houses at the same time, and you take the time to pick one, which can be regarded as the settlement fee I gave you. ”

"This is probably a stick and a sweet date, right?" Chen Zhen thought in his heart, but said: "Most of the governors are kind, and the last general can only do his best to repay the service." ”

"Do things well, the Zhang family is not a widow, and maybe in the future, he will also be a wife and a son." Zhang Jun smiled and encouraged.

At this moment, the guards came forward to report that Zhou Tong from the right camp of the Longxiang Army asked to see him.

Zhang Jun and Chen Zhen turned around and looked back together, and sure enough, they saw Zhou Tong standing in the distance. So Zhang Jun said, "Let him come over." ”

After a while, Zhou Tong, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came to the front, first made a big salute, and then got up and said with a smile: "Governor Dadu, Chen joined the army, so interested." ”

"Huh!" Chen Zhen responded: "It's the good interest of the governor." ”

Now Chen Zhen is in control of logistics, staff operations, and the guard department, no matter who is in the army, they dare not offend him. Although Zhou Tong was born in Zhang Jun's mansion, he would not deliberately be unhappy with others.

Zhang Jun said: "Thin monkey, what's the matter?" ”

Because it was an informal occasion, Zhang Jun was a little more casual and called out Zhou Tong's previous nickname.

Hearing this, Zhou Tong looked at Chen Zhen. Chen Zhen understood and was about to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by Zhang Jun waving his hand: "Chen joins the army, it doesn't hurt if you listen to it." ”

Zhang Jun expected in his heart that Zhou Tong was going to report on Cha Lin's interrogation, so it would definitely involve the screening of personnel in the army and the Governor's Mansion, Chen Zhen was an "outsider", with the least suspicions, and he happened to be in charge of the Guards Division, so it was nothing to know, anyway, he still had to participate in the end.

Zhou Tongdang said: "Grand Governor, Chen joined the army, that Charin vomited some information again, whether the Heavenly Master Dao planned to assassinate you, he doesn't know, but judging from the assassination method he said, I'm afraid it was they who did it!" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Jun snorted coldly and did not speak.

On the other hand, because Zhou Tong reported to Zhang Jun alone every time, Chen Zhen didn't know much about the details, so he asked Zhou Tong to introduce it again. After they finished speaking, Zhang Jun said: "The people who infiltrate my side will be secretly screened from now on." His identity is not low, you must be careful, don't startle the snake. ”

"No!" Zhou Tong commanded.

"The Grand Duke!" Chen Zhen interjected: "Do you also need to screen in the army? ”

"······ in the Army" Zhang Jun pondered for a moment, and he really felt very embarrassed, at the critical juncture when the conscription army was training, if the scope of screening was expanded, or if it caused panic, it would affect the morale of the army.

But in the end, Zhang Jun still nodded and said: "Chen joins the army, you and Zhou Tong first check the identity information of each military assistant, don't alarm anyone, take your time, don't rush ······"

"Yes!" Chen Zhen received the order, hesitated for a moment, and decided to ask: "Where are the generals······ Do you want to do ······ as well?"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhang Jun waving his hand: "No need, I believe in my generals." “

As soon as these words came out, whether it was Chen Zhen who asked or Zhou Tong who was standing on the side, there was a look of gratitude in their eyes. As the so-called soldiers die for their confidants, the Metropolitan Governor can believe in them so unconditionally, isn't this the highest glory of martial arts? As for being watched or something······ All the rulers do this, and they only feel that the level of the Grand Governor's royal level has increased again.

In this way, when the three of them returned to Lingju, a silent large-scale screening activity was launched in secret.

In fact, the purpose of Zhang Jun's visit to Yuzhong was to investigate the specific situation here. The Yuzhong defense line he conceived was composed of concrete pillboxes and crossbowmen and light horses, somewhat similar to the devils of later generations who ······ me Blockade measures of the armed forces behind enemy lines of the party.

However, after personally inspecting the field, Zhang Jun had a new idea, which could use the ravines washed out after the flood to build a trench, which could not only block the cavalry, but also be used for defense!

Of course, this is just the result of his mental assumptions, and to put it into practice, it is still inseparable from the army's prior simulation exercises.
