Section 20: Rivers and Mountains
It is said that a long time ago, the City of Bitter Saints was a place for soldiers to practice formations, and the formations arranged by the army could even trap the Martial Saints. At that time, a martial saint in the south of the continent heard about it and broke it with a sword. The Martial Saint entered the formation, and as soon as the formation worked, it would be a hundred years. During the period, they marched into battle, ate in the array, and lived in the array. Over time, houses were built in the great array, pavilions, halls, shopsγγγγγγγ gradually formed streets, roads, city walls, and finally broke the formation, and the martial saint died in the array, and people called this great array 'Bitter Holy City'.
Until now, the Bitter Holy City has been a must-see place for those formation masters to observe and study.
The dog walked on the street, with shops, noodle shops, Danqi arrays, and all kinds of life lined up. The black Eastern Alliance, the cyan Shengdu, the white Snowman, and even the half-orcs of the blue horseγγγ walked through the streets, talking, shouting, and looking upγγγγ some of them were cloth-clad robes, some were tight-fitting soaps, some were richly dressed, and some were unkemptγγγ looking noisy and leisurely.
Xu Wanjin stopped in front of a tall building, the style of the building is very simple, and a pair of stone unicorns are lined up at the door. Only one of the six gates is open on the left, and the three big characters "Military Aircraft Department" are written on the central door.
"It's here! It's here! Xu Wanjin seemed to be reminding everyone, and it was like saying it to himself. Then he ran to the gate of the yamen and handed the customs clearance sticker to the guard guard.
After the sentry saw the customs clearance post, he waved his hand to everyone, and Xu Wanjin led Gou'er, Ding Hai, and Tie Yulan into the military plane. The entourage was waiting outside.
After a while, a lieutenant came out and led the entourage to the military aircraft station.
Huang Lingshou was looking at a poem on the wall in front of him, which was written by Wang Qiming, the former imperial prince. After composing this poem, Wang Qiming disappeared inexplicably that night. When the guards invited him to breakfast the next day, only this poem was left on the bookcase in the hall. Three days later, there was still no trace of Wang Qiming, and the guards reported to the official. Later, this poem was displayed by Huang Lingshou in his own internal affairs department of the Military Aircraft Department, as a warning and used as a reference.
For more than ten years, no matter how he looks at it, this song is an idle poem with scenery. But just when he thought so, an incident pulled him back into suspense. Not long ago, the Red Mountain Army reported that the Red Mountain had built a small road to the west, called 'The Way Out'! Wang Qiming's lyrics have the word way out.
"Jiangting grass supervisor water is like ink,
Snow outside the window! The door is still closed,
Chill in slightly.
Raise a glass and sigh what a way out!
The Si people died and added new soil, and the listener was right, and the city was slaughtered empty.
Reluctant
Thousands of miles of beauty are buried in the picture scroll of the rivers and mountains.
The east wind overnight, the wind is fierce and the snow is thick!
How many spring dreams are like smoke and clouds, and all sorrows are turned into red soil. β
The whole poem reflects that Wang Qiming was standing in his house named Jiangting Caojian at that time, looking at the ink-like water in the lake, with light snow in the sky, and feeling great emotion because his friend Huang Rendao was killed. wrote out the confusion about the future, the state of mind that saw through the career and wanted to return to the mountains.
Maybe it's just a coincidence! Could it be that Wang Qiming is suspicious of a way out?
"Lord Wang! Xu Xuanwei begged to see him. Huang Lingshou, who was in a deep meditation, was interrupted by the guard Muhu.
"Oh! Got it, I'll go right over! β
The Military Aircraft Department joined the military side hall, Xu Wanjin and the dog did not wait long. King Hirayama walked in. I saw it with everyone one by one, the dogs and they performed the monarch courtesy, and Huang Lingshou sat down.
During this period, Huang Lingshou praised the dog's young hero and genius. and hinted that the dog was willing to come to Kyoto to develop, and the dog pretended to be a cute fool, and he didn't understand the intentions of King Hirayama at all. Huang Lingshou was also helpless.
Everyone chatted for a while, it was nothing more than that some of the ways were also smooth, everyone had a good trip, the prince was wise, thank you for the prince's polite words. During this period, Huang Lingshou suddenly asked Tie Yulan why the path repaired by Hongshan was called a way out, and Tie Yulan told the origin of the way out. Then Huang Lingshou instructed Xu Wanjin to take the dog and go back to the post station.
Because the emperor has a new concubine, the early dynasty is almost not very up, Huang Lingshou called the dog to listen to the post station again, what must be said to the post station, once the emperor summons him, he will listen to the rumor immediately.
He also saw that the dog is an ordinary child, childish heart, when the emperor summons, this guy will give you a big trip to Kyoto, where are you looking for the huge capital?
The emperor's new concubine is none other than Su Qianmo, the talented woman of Sunset City in the Dongshupo Province of the empire mentioned earlier. It was Su Qianmo, who mourned and buried more than 5,000 generals in the Eastern Alliance.
Originally, Sikong Arrow, the left minister of the empire, wanted to hand over Su Qianmo to the Shengyin Hall of the Xingshi Academy of the Ministry of Rites, and called Su Qianmo any sound master. But who would have thought that when he arrived in the capital, the emperor would take a fancy to it first.
In the next few days, the dogs were bored, but they also went to many famous places in Kyoto. What is the burial of the holy slope, the Jiangting grass prison, the array wall forest, the nine array courtyard, the Yin and Yang Pavilion,γγγ there are really many holy places in Kyoto.
On that day, the dog and his entourage toured Huahu with the guide of the post station, and Xu Wanjin returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after leading them to the post station. He hasn't been seen for the past two days. Just when the dog and Ding Hai were a little tired from the tour and wanted to take a break. Iron Magnolia mysteriously pointed to a small boat in the distance for the dog to see.
Liu Qingshan! The dog almost cried out, and Temagnolia covered his mouth with her hand.
A few people set up the guide of the post station, and Liu Qingshan met with the dog in the small pavilion of Huahu. Liu Qingshan came to Kyoto this time not for anything else, but to find his wife Ma Peixian. Liu Qingshan went to the Ma family, and according to the Ma family, because the empire issued a wanted warrant for Liu Qingshan at that time. Ma Peixian was afraid of affecting his family, and secondly, he was afraid that the empire would track them down, so for the sake of insurance, the mother and son left the Ma family, but they didn't know where they went. In the past two days, Liu Qingshan has searched almost all the places he can think of, but he can't find them, and it is estimated that most of them are not in Kyoto.
Tie Yulan and they comforted Liu Qingshan for a while, and then talked to Liu Qingshan about their current situation. Dogs, they were at the post station every day, waiting for the emperor and the Imperial Military Department to summon them, but 5 days passed, and there was no news from the two families.
After a brief chat and a discussion on the location of the next meeting, Gou'er and Liu Qingshan separated. After all, after a long time, the post guide was suspicious.
Time to go back to the night when the dogs entered Kyoto. Zhang Baoguo, the former commander of the Yahai Tiger Guard. Now he is the head of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, the head of the Ministry of Labor, the head of the Treasury Division, and the official worships the deputy general, from the second grade. The Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of
There are five in the Huang Yao military headquarters. The head of the household, the head of the official, the head of the worker, the head of the ceremony, and the head of the punishment. They are in charge of the army's household registration, generals, materials, discipline, and criminal law.
After Zhang Baoguo had dinner, he saw Hou Shen, who was in charge of the military aircraft department, to see him. Hou Yong is one level younger than Zhang Baoguo, and he is the third grade, the same as Liu Qingshan. When the two met, Hou Yong did not have to pay an official salute because he had an official document from the Military Aircraft Department. handed over the official document of the Military Aircraft Department to Zhang Baoguo, and left after greeting for a while.
After Hou Yong left, Zhang Baoguo opened the official document, which roughly said that the Military Aircraft Department would build a batch of armaments in the near future, which would require about 1.8 million gold coins and 300,000 catties of refined iron, so that he must prepare to stop on October 10.
Although it is now October 3, the money required is not too much, and the fine iron is the material used by the army commander, and there is a lot of sea in the treasury, and there is definitely so much. But when Zhang Baoguo saw that the owner of this order was Liu Qingshan, the former Luoshui garrison, his mind became active.
Liu Qingshan! When he was the commander of the Yahai Tiger Guard, he was only a garrison, and later he was even considered a traitor by the Empire. Later, I heard that the Blue Horse people were beaten at the mouth of the Luohe River, and King Pingshan valued the time to operate, but he was only a third-grade general, one level younger than himself.
Zhang Baoguo wrote a recital at that time, and the next day he went to the Taifu Courtyard and handed it over to the Taifu Jiangshan in person.
In a courtyard north of the Imperial Central Square, Jiang Shan is enjoying afternoon tea. It's already October, and the fallen leaves fall from the trees from time to time, and then the wind blows to the corners.
Jiangshan is the Taifu of the Huang Yao Empire, Zhengyipin, mainly to assist the emperor, the crown prince, participate in politics, and manage the country's currency, money and grain.
Looking at the fold in his hand, the content basically said that the empire is now preparing to produce a batch of army equipment, because the funds for this year's treasury plan have been exhausted. However, the Military Aircraft Department has ordered that all materials and money for this batch of equipment must be in place by 10 October. There was no choice but to make it clear to him, so that he, the Taifu, could pull out a share of the imperial treasury first to relieve his eyebrows.
In fact, there are precedents for this kind of thing in the folds over the years, after all, the empire's armament expenditure is the last in the Northern Continent. It is true that the Treasury Division has not made much preparation for such sudden arms expenditures, and this year, it is normal for many countries such as Blue Horse and Shengdu to peep into the army.
He also knows about the Red Mountain Army, and he admires the Red Mountain Army. The annihilation of the Blue Horse's Seventh Infantry Brigade without any Imperial support was the happiest thing he had ever done this year. Therefore, Jiang Shan did not hesitate and wrote the first unplanned loan order since he took office.
Jiangshan called the guards and asked the guards to send the official documents to the Imperial Finance Institute to Hu Shanshangshu. After Jiang Shan finished his business, he got up and basked in the sun in the courtyard for a while, and went back to his room when he felt a little cold.
Hu Shan, the book of the Treasury Yuan, from a product. Their Hu family is a hereditary throne, and their grandfather, King Dingshan, is one of the two foreign surnames of the empire. The other is Liu Napo, a dance idiot who disappeared in the Eastern Continent some time ago - the king of the mountain. Since childhood, Hu Shan and the emperor's brother have been together, and Taifu Jiangshan is their teacher.
After receiving the letter from Taifu, although he was very reluctant, he still approved it. Jiang Shan is a respectable division commander. Hu Shan has always respected her teacher, although now the empire is full of holes, and the place where she asks for money has gone, but she believes in her teacher, this amount must be very urgent, or the teacher will never give her the next money in person. Besides, 3 million gold coins is not too much. Afterwards, Hu Shan ordered his subordinates to send the text to the Ministry of War on the same day.
After Zhang Baoguo received the letter from the Finance Institute, he was stunned for a long time, he was going to go through the process at Taifu, so that he could have a push when the Hongshan Army came to receive the supplies. Could it be that the old man who picks the door and Hu Shanshangshu, who picks the door even more, will really allocate money to him?
According to past experience, Taifu must have read his recital and threw it to the back of his mind, and then gave him a line to find Hu Shan. To Hu Shan, that beautiful widow will never give him a good look, and there are 100 ways to leave you speechless. The cooperation of the master and apprentice is almost known to all Huang Yao's officials. Although he has just taken office, he can still understand the twists and turns.
But people approved it! It's not a day, I send it in the morning, and I approve it in the afternoon!
Good luck! It seems that he is prosperous in official affairsγγγγ
On August 8, Hou Yong of the Military Aircraft Department came to the post station. The dog was practicing with Tie Yulan, and after the dog and Tie Yulan stopped working, Hou Yong came over, and after a simple greeting, the dog and Tie Yulan went to the military headquarters with Hou Yong to receive supplies. Before leaving, Hou Yong did not forget to remind the dog to bring the military seal.
The dog took out the military seal from the package, tied it with a rope, and hung it around his neck. Put Tie Magnolia and Hou Yong laughing before and after.
Sitting in the carriage of the military aircraft department, I arrived at the head of the military department in a short time.
In the Political Department of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Baoguo yawned and said impatiently, "That's it, there is really no money!" You also know that the empire is not very prosperous this year! Why don't you wait two more days? After speaking, he peeked at the dog and Tie Magnolia sitting below.
When this kind of thing happens, the dog and the iron magnolia are really incompatible.
Gou Er and Tie Yulan glanced at each other, and they also understood in their hearts that the other party was deliberately making things difficult for them, but they couldn't do it when they were full of anger. There's no way to go back and talk about it, just as Tie Yulan got up to say goodbye.
Zhang Baoguo seemed to remember something, and said, "Pull one!" I and you Liu Shenjiang will be good old alas! Let me be thinking! Think again! β
Tie Yulan was said by Zhang Baoguo, and Wan was stunned to be picked up. "Just! It's just that! This ha! It's a bit difficult to do! Zhang Baoguo's preface didn't match the afterword, and he glanced at the dogs from time to time, and then patted his head with a very embarrassed look.
Tie Yulan was really confused by Zhang Baoguo's performance. The dog is a human being in two lives, and he may not have done what Zhang Baoguo did, if he can't see it, it is a lie. But the dog just didn't move, sitting on the big chair and touching this and that, looking like he cared about my.
Zhang Baoguo is really sweating, I haven't seen these two, don't say it, the whole of this woman is just a dish, I'm like this, you can't say a word! Who will give you nothing to do things now! Grinding the skin is to give money! I can't help it, just say it. "Ladies and gentlemen of the House of Finance! It's not that you don't give it! That's not a decimal amount either, ha! Wiping the sweat from his head, Zhang Baoguo continued, "Let me invite all the adults to have a cup of tea and communicate, do you think it's okay!" βγβ Then I will thank you first! Tie Yulan still didn't understand, hugged 10,000, and thanked Zhang Baoguo seriously.
What kind of person is this! It's all from the fourth grade, and I don't know how you came to the ground, Zhang Baoguo was almost blown up by Tie Yulan, alas! Simply jump bright.
Zhang Baoguo wiped his sweat again and said, "General Tie!" You see this tea fee ,γγγthis"
This time, Tie Yulan finally understood, very sincerely, and said with an embarrassed face, "Master Zhang, I, I really don't have any money."
Fainted, what kind of person is this! Zhang Baoguo just drank the tea in his mouth and stuck in his throat and spit it out, and the guards next to "cough, cough" hurriedly came over and patted Zhang Baoguo on the back. Tie Magnolia was also busy helping out. "I've got money!" The dog shouted.
Tie Yulan and Zhang Baoguo looked at the dog at the same time, and saw the dog put a copper coin on the public case. Raising his head and chest, with big flickering eyes, he looked at the two people proudly.
Zhang Baoguo didn't know how he sent the two people away. Sweat out one after another, these two living treasures!
Tie Yulan and the dog came out of the head of the military department, and Hou Yong greeted them. Listening to what Tie Yulan said, he probably understood what was going on, this kind of thing is normal in the empire, if the other party doesn't engage in these fancy intestines, it will be abnormal!
As soon as Tie Magnolia was educated, several people got into the carriage. Zhang Baoguo promised to communicate with the Imperial Finance Institute, so wait, and along the way, Hou Yong also taught Tie Yulan some common ways to deal with it. The group soon returned to the military aircraft station.
The dog is not in a hurry, he knows that the empire needs this batch of armaments now, there is no need to give Zhang Baoguo a windfall, he hates Zhang Baoguo. Besides, Liu Qingshan's deal with the Kyoto auction talks has not yet been finalized, so there is no hurry.
Jiang Shan was playing chess alone at home, and someone came to report that Mr. Men wanted to see him. Men Wanli is a staff member under Jiang Shan, responsible for news in the capital. After seeing Jiang Shanxing's guest of honor, Jiang Shan asked his subordinates to sit down.
"Is there something wrong with the gentleman?"
"It's the thing that the adults told me to keep an eye on a few days ago, and the Arsenal really made it difficult for the Red Mountain Army!"
"Smack!" Jiang Shan hit the chessboard with one hand, and his undulating chest could see Taifu's fluctuating emotions at this time.
Forcibly calmed down his emotions, Taifu Jiangshan said hatefully, "The empire is already in such a situation, half of the Tiger Guards of his old Zhang Baoguo are now dead by the blue people, Lang Lang Qiankun thought it was fragmented, and he was so subordinate to the fish, take it!" β
Men's worried instruction, "My lord! Zhang Baoguo is a member of the Ministry of War? Whether it γγγ"
"It doesn't matter if he is a soldier or an official, as long as it is me Huang Yao. So I took him and handed him over to the head of the military department. β
Zhang Baoguo regretted sending away the dog and Tie Yulan for a while, and today somehow, his eyes jumped vigorously. Suddenly, I heard the sound of the gate of the military headquarters being surrounded by soldiers.
Surrounding the military headquarters was the Imperial City Guards Battalion, and after hearing the voice, the big and small officials in the military headquarters all came out of the public office, standing in the corridors and side halls, and several guards of the military headquarters were negotiating with the guards battalion at the door.
Ma Sihai walked out of the main hall from the Shangshu of the military department. A man who looked like the commander of the Guards Battalion greeted him. Zhang Baoguo stood in the distance and watched Ma Sihai talk to the man, and he couldn't hear clearly from too far away.
In a moment, the law enforcement team of the Judge Advocate General's Division rushed towards his Arsenal. Looking at the law enforcement team that was getting closer and closer, Zhang Baoguo regretted dying. You Hongshan people, I just made a joke with you!
Just as the law enforcement team was about to rush into the Treasury Division, a group of men and horses suddenly rushed across from the military headquarters.
