Chapter 141 Muling Pass

Nothing was said all night.

When I got up early the next morning, I already had a soldier deliver breakfast, which was supposed to be provided by the Qingzhou Yamen, but Zhao Yu was really afraid! Eating that brown rice, my teeth hurt from eating, and Zhao Yu didn't want to suffer that anymore.

Although it was provided by his own soldiers, breakfast was not a luxury, a large bowl of white porridge, three pickled radish, and a plate of brine pork. Although I still don't like to eat pork very much, Zhao Yu's favorite thing to eat is mutton, but it's better than no meat at all.

After breakfast, Zhao Yu was ready to practice martial arts, but he didn't want Fan Yan to send a clerk to deliver documents about the victims. There are a lot of paperwork, and they are a foot high. This foot high is not the kind of hard leather fold, a piece of fold just the epidermis is already a finger, more than a dozen can be a foot high.

This document is all thin paper, and reading it makes Zhao Yu's scalp tingle.

I had no choice but to call Qian Yanyuan to come and read it with me. I have to say that the bookkeeping method of this era is very chaotic, and Zhao Yu's eyes are full of stars. In the end, Zhao Yu only saw one thing.

That is, there are many victims in Qingzhou at present, and the land annexation is very serious. Many large households took advantage of the fact that homesteaders could no longer sustain themselves, and bought their fields at low prices.

Not only that, but in this case, the government actually has some cases of aiding and abusive. It's just that it's not all because of bribes, there's really no way.

Why can't it be helped?

It's all because the big families have donated food, I donated hundreds of stones of grain to come out, and gave you political achievements, are you embarrassed to turn your face? Are you embarrassed to play what fair and strict?

Sighing, Zhao Yu found that it was not wrong to hand over the disaster relief to Fan Wei, there were many doorways here, so many that Zhao Yu was a little cold.

Zhao Yu didn't want to care about these anymore, so he asked Qian Yanyuan to write an order in his own name and send it to Chong Shiheng and Gongsun Xuanxu. Let them send the grain to Qingzhou, except for leaving 50,000 stones for their own use, everything else will be handed over to Fan Wei, and nothing else will be taken care of, and they will go straight to Yizhou.

And Zhao Yu stayed in Qingzhou for only two days before leaving decisively.

Fan Yan pretended to stay, and Zhao Yu didn't bother to act with Fan Yan, so he refused directly, so he went straight to Yizhou with three hundred iron armor.

Fan Yan fortunately still had a little conscience, and gave Zhao Yu thirty stone of grain as military food. It saved Zhao Yu the time to go to other counties and argue with local officials.

Zhao Yu went straight all the way to Muling Town, although it is called a town, it is actually a pass.

Looking at the past from a distance, I saw a magnificent majestic pass built between two endless high mountains and mountains. The gray-white stone strips appear so silent in the sunlight, with no dazzling reflections, and only a calm temperament.

Zhao Yu was on horseback and couldn't help but sigh: "This should be a husband and a man, and it is no wonder that a mixed battalion has been set up in a small Muling Town." ”

The infantry battalion of the Song Dynasty was not much, about 400 people, and it was a mixture of forbidden troops and box soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was relatively low. Just setting up so many troops in an inland place shows that the Song Dynasty attached great importance to this place.

Qian Yanyuan saw that Zhao Yu was interested in this, so he immediately came out and threw away his schoolbag, stroked his short beard, and said triumphantly: "Lord Wang, do you know the history of this Muling Pass?" ”

Zhao Yu: "Mu Lingguan? You're reading it wrong! It's the town of Muling! ”

Qian Yanyuan shook his head and said, "Lord Wang, you don't know, although the imperial court changed the name of this place to Muling Town, people who go south and north call it Muling Pass, and this place was originally called Muling Pass." The history of Mulingguan is not ordinarily long! ”

Zhao Yu laughed and said, "Zigao! Can you bully this king without a look? Although this pass looks relatively old, this king can still see that this pass is no more than three hundred years at most! It is estimated that it should have been built at the end of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Qian Yanyuan was not annoyed, and said calmly: "Lord Wang, if you listen to the official, you will know the reason!" ”

Zhao Yu said with a playful face: "Then you can tell me, if you don't say it well, this king will let you brush the horse for this king!" ”

Qian Yanyuan's face changed suddenly, he was a literati to wash the horse, this was not an ordinary hardship. In particular, there is a smell on horses, which is very acceptable to people who love cleanliness.

Qian Yanyuan only hoped that Zhao Yu would not be cheating. According to legend, the fifth generation of the Western Zhou Dynasty monarch Zhou Mu Wang Ji Man, led the civil and military officials to tour the world, one day came to Daxian, saw that the mountains here are majestic, the aura is full, the scenery is beautiful, the climate is mild, the mood is extraordinarily happy, ordered to build a palace, stationed here. After a long time, King Mu's concubine Sheng Ji died of illness and was buried on the mountain. Later generations because the tomb of King Mu and Concubine Sheng Ji is here, so this mountain is called Mu Ling, and now there is a "dressing house" site on the east side of Mu Ling Pass, do you want to go and see it? ”

Zhao Yu said disapprerovingly: "That's it? Not romantic at all! Bored! ”

Qian Yanyuan coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said: "This is just a legend, in fact, Jiang Ziya assisted King Wu of Zhou to eliminate Yin Shang and made great achievements, so he was enshrined in the State of Qi and built the capital Yingqiu. At that time, the territory of Qi State, according to historical records: 'The east is as far as the sea, the west is as far as the river, the south is as far as Muling, and the north is as far as Wudi. It can be seen that Mu Ling had it as early as the Shang and Zhou periods! ”

After a pause, Qian Yanyuan continued: "The important place of the Great Wall of Qi at that time was here, this Muling Pass was to the Great Wall of Qi, which was equivalent to the Yanmen Pass of the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty. Once the Muling Pass is lost, the enemy army can cross the mountains and mountains and enter the essence of the Qi country and help the plains. ”

Zhao Yu asked with a playful face: "Zigao! Listening to what you say, it seems that the head is the Tao, but this pass is only 300 years at most, should you tell this king that the Great Wall of Qi was built 300 years ago, right? ”

Qian Yanyuan blew his beard and glared at him: "Lord Wang, you really need to look at the history books, since Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, although this Muling Pass is important, it is already inland. Until the time of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Ziqing Festival at that time made Li Shigu rebuild Muling Pass in view of the fact that Muling Pass is connected to the Canghai Sea in the east, Taidai in the west, Linzi in the north, and Xu Huai in the south! Therefore, the Muling Pass you see now is only 300 years old at most, because his own history is just over 200 years old! ”

After that, Qian Yanyuan continued to look at Zhao Yu jokingly, as if to say, Lord Wang, you have a vision for looking at the time of items, but it's not very good!

Zhao Yu was a little dumbfounded, rubbed his nose, and said unconvinced: "But according to what you said, after I established the Great Song Dynasty, this Muling Pass should be useless, right?" ”

When Qian Yanyuan heard this, he let out a long sigh and said, "It's not Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures that are making trouble!" Without the natural danger of Yanshan, it was not easy for the Liao people to go south at that time? It is said that Taizu set up a heavy army here at that time to prevent the Khitans from breaking through the Qingzhou defense line, which was relatively far away from Tokyo City, so he set up a second reserve defense line here. ”
