Zhang Yue stayed in Hechi for two days, handed over the task of establishing the salt field and horse farm to Han Zhiping and Shang Huaqing, and immediately returned to Huining. When the www.biquge.info entered the city, it was already evening, and the soldiers were still repairing the city defenses, and the gate tower was dilapidated and needed to be demolished and rebuilt, and the city gate had to be replaced, which took time.
However, the state office in the city has been cleaned up inside and out. Zhang Yue walked into the state office, passed the gate and the instrument gate, except for the soldiers on duty at the door and the corridor aisle, all the official rooms were empty. Everything is difficult at the beginning, there is no available subordinate officer, and there is nothing to do.
When they arrived at the back house, several soldiers were feeding the two green eagles in the courtyard, because they were only a few months old, and they were like two starling birds, bouncing in the bird cage, looking wild.
"The two birds look good, have you found someone who can train the falconry?" Zhang Yue stepped forward and asked casually, seeing that the pure black feathers of the caged bird glowed with a faint green light, the pointed golden beak pecked in the shape of a hook, and the claws were also golden, but the eyes were green.
"Xuandu envoy asked, no one in the army knows, the Qiang people should be able to train falcons, I don't know if it's reliable." The pro-soldier team was saying with some trepidation.
"Look at this head is still small, it shouldn't be too late to tame it next year. That's right...... What do they eat? Zhang Yue thought for a while and asked.
"They eat raw meat and fish, but it's a little strange that I heard that the eagle doesn't eat fish."
"It's said that it's mixed with the river meander eagle, and it's normal to eat fish, so let's keep it like this first!"
Zhang Yue was not interested after reading it, and asked Chen Jia to inform the commanders of each battalion to go to the state government to discuss matters. Before anyone arrived, Zhang Yue went back to the back house to bathe, changed into a military uniform, put on a scarlet official uniform and went to the state government hall, where all the officers were waiting.
"The weather is getting colder and colder, maybe there will be light snow at the end of this month, and we have to transport grain from Yanzhou and Yuanzhou as soon as possible. After I leave tomorrow, Xuan Chongwen and Li Chuyun will be in charge, and everyone will have to obey orders. After Zhang Yue finished speaking with a serious face, he turned his head to scan the two rows of officers on the left and right, and saw that they bowed their hands to show their obedience, so he nodded with satisfaction.
Xuan Chongwen and Li Chuyun are both civil and military, but they can be in charge of their own affairs, and there is no problem at all for the two of them to lead the state affairs for a period of time. When Feng Qianhou returns, there is nothing missing, everything can be arranged properly, and Zhang Yue doesn't have to worry about it at all.
"The four commanders who were transferred to the field to garrison, except for those in Wulan County, the rest were all in the wilderness, and if it snowed heavily and the weather was cold, they might not be able to bear it, and there were no bricks and craftsmen to build houses. The north can be withdrawn to Ulan County for the winter, and the south can return to Huining, and next spring will be a big construction project to build a house and a military fort, I don't know if it can? Xuan Chongwen asked.
"Next year! Next year is the fourth year of Guangshun......" Zhang Yue unconsciously chattered, and suddenly felt an electric light flash in his head, and suddenly woke up.
The wheel of history still seems to have not changed the direction of the subject, so ...... The fourth year of Guangshun was changed to the first year of Xiande, and this will not change. That is to say, at the beginning of spring next year, the current emperor died of illness, Guo Rong ascended the throne, and then ...... Taiyuan Liu Chong colluded with the Liao army to go south, triggering the Battle of Gaoping, the time is a few months, I can't remember!
Thinking of this, a sense of urgency suddenly floated in Zhang Yue's heart. Huizhou lacks population resources, and military and political affairs cannot be started for the time being, so they can only let go first, and they must bring the soldiers well, and then make a big contribution!
"You can watch these daily trivial orders in advance! In addition, the map of Huizhou is too rough, I need a new atlas, and you have to assign someone to redraw it. When I go to Liangzhou this time, I will also bring back a new map of Liangzhou. And also...... Our Zhenyuan army has now recovered to 4,000 soldiers before the war, but this is not enough, and 7,000 people must be trained quickly!
Immediately notify Feng Qianhou and ask him to ask Suo Wanjin for two commanders, to see if he can bring Li Duofu, the capital of the Zhangwu Army, to come over, and the two thousand and four battalions that are short can be recruited in Yanzhou and brought over together. There are also weapons and armor, see if you can find Suo Wanjin by the way, in fact, if you are insufficient, you can also find Jingyuan Shi Dashuai! ”
Zhang Yue finished speaking quickly, but the officers looked at each other for a while, and no one answered in the lobby for a long time. Or Xuan Chongwen reacted quickly, got up and arched his hand: "According to your arrangement, this is to prepare for war?" Hit Liangzhou? ”
Zhang Yue was asked for a moment, only then did he realize that he was thinking too much, and it was difficult to say whether he would transfer himself to the war at that time, but the opportunity was only given to those who were prepared. I received the small number of state soldiers of the Zhenyuan Army, and if the troops that can be taken away from the battle are very limited, it is not wrong to expand the army. Otherwise, no matter how high the position is, it is impossible to have no soldiers in hand, and it is difficult to command other people's soldiers like an arm.
"You're thinking too much! It has nothing to do with my trip to Liangzhou this time, you do it, there will be no mistake! Zhang Yue said with a wry smile.
"That's good! After the soldiers arrived, would they still practice like the last training in Yanzhou? Soldiers and officers have to read and write? Xuan Chongwen still didn't understand this, because he didn't understand Zhang Yue's original intention, what was the starting point for training and leading troops like this?
"Of course, you can't slack off! One day, you will all understand my hard work! The corners of Zhang Yue's mouth curled, smiled mysteriously, and said a little smugly, and said: "In the end, there are the entourage, Hao Tianying will go with me, three hundred horsemen are enough, if something happens, it will be useless." ”
Early the next morning, Zhang Yue led 300 horsemen north to Wulan County, galloping all the way to the middle of the night. Zong Jingcheng was already stationed here, received a report from the night watchman, and personally rushed to open the city gate and take Zhang Yue and his party into the city.
"Has Baishanshu changed its defense? Xue has saved back Shuofang, right? He should have learned something about Shen Shihou when he saw him, did he tell you about it? Zhang Yue asked when he met.
"I sent He Chenghui to Baishanshu, but Xue Chucun only left yesterday, but he said something about Hexi. It is said that our capture of Huizhou can be regarded as a powerful response to Shen Shihou, and he can take the opportunity to strengthen his control over the Fanqiang tribes, but the situation is too complicated. ”
Zong Jingcheng smiled bitterly, clarified his thoughts, and continued: "Just before we marched into Huizhou, Li Guangrui led his troops to support the Yeci clan, and by the way, he went to Hexi to persuade the Liugu Department to send troops to intercept our army, but the Liugu Department did not agree for fear of provoking the fire. After that, Li Guangrui led the remnants of the Yeqi clan to withdraw and handed over the Heshu military city west of Kipkou to the Rokuya Ministry, and Shen Shihou knew all these things, but he was powerless to stop the Rokuya Bu from doing things on its own. ”
"I knew a little bit about this before, and now I want to know more details, such as how many tribes there are in Liangzhou and how Shen Shihou governs things." Zhang Yue said impatiently.
"Hah! I don't know very well, I heard Xue Chucun say that the inhabitants of Liangzhou are mainly Tubo and Tuyuhun people, and the Tubo Six Valleys are the six tribes of the Nanshan Mountains in the southeast of Liangzhou, and the leader is Shen Nianbi of Yangfei Valley, and the other five are dominated by it, which is a force; Another group of Qiang people, mainly the remnants of Dangxiang and Tuyuhun, is stationed at the foot of the Daxue Mountains in the southwest, which is composed of a number of small tribes, and has always been at odds with the Liugu tribe, but they are only a small force.
In addition, it is the leader of the remnants of the Han and Fan mixed blood, they are distributed in the Dadou Bagu to the northwest Yanzhi Mountain, Fanzhou, Jialin, and near Liangzhou, the Hutu military city in the north, and the Baitinghai area outside the Great Wall, the strength is very strong, and the one who really dominates the affairs of Liangzhou is the Zhe Clan. The previous marshal Zhi Jiashi was recommended by the state and approved by the Rokuya tribe, and then he was expelled for causing dissatisfaction with the Rokuya tribe and other tribes.
The pure-blooded Han people are pitifully few, only more than 200 households and more than 1,000 people, living in the suburbs of Liangzhou City, they are timid and cowardly, and Shen Shihou relies on them, of course, he can't suppress the last people. ”
"No matter who dominates Liangzhou, this Shen Shihou must be transferred, His Royal Highness the King of Jin showed this tone." Zhang Yue said fiercely, and then asked about the situation at the end of the diarrhea.
The word "嗢mo" means slave and maid in the Tibetan language, and the Liugu tribe and the Zheqi clan, as well as all the tribes in Liangzhou, were once slave servants under the control of the Jiedu envoy of the northern Tibetan province. The population composition of the tribe is very complex, including Tubo Subi, Yangtong, Dangxiang, and Tuyuhun people, and more of them are the Tang Dynasty town army, and the descendants of the Han people in Tunken.
During the great calendar of the Middle and Tang Dynasties, Tubo successively invaded and occupied Longyou, Hexi, and the local town army fought with Tubo for decades, and then had to surrender to Tubo for self-protection. These conquered people became servants, and followed the battle, some of the children of large families, and even served as the Tubo Dynasty's northern province jiedu envoy under the official positions of wingmen, commanders, and other official positions, and intermarriage with them, Hu Feng became more and more serious, and gradually formed a tribe.
By the time of Tang Wuzong, the last Tibetan Zanpu Lang Dama was assassinated by the monk Lalong Dorjee due to the large-scale extermination of Buddhism, and the Tubo Dynasty, which had been reckless, collapsed and fell into endless civil war. From time to time, Shazhou Haoqiang Zhang Yichao contacted the local clans to raise troops to resist the brutal rule of Tubo, and finally succeeded, recovering Hexi, Longyou, Anxi and other old places in one fell swoop, and presented the table to Tang in the middle years of Tang Xuanzong.
During the Xiantong period of Tang Yizong, Zhang Yichao made up with the court of the Tang Dynasty: Xiantong received Liangzhou in the second year, but now it is not known but it is wasted, and it is mixed. Recently, it is rumored that the end of the separation has come and gone, and the northerners have been consulted, all of which are true. Fuyi Liangzhou is the national border, and the people at the end of the year were originally the generals of Hexi Longyou, and the country abandoned them and turned them into tribes.
The border defense policy of the late Tang Dynasty has become conservative, and it is basically not enough to ask about Liangzhou. Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, nearly one million Han people in Helong, after falling into Tibet, did not hesitate to fly, and were replaced by all kinds of mixed-race mixed Hu, although they used Han surnames, they spoke more Hu language, and wore their hair on the left, and regarded themselves as tribesmen. Although there was an intention to return to the Tang Dynasty, most of them just wanted a protective umbrella, and at that time, the Tang Dynasty was in decline, and they did not want to be the wronged leader, and the two sides could not negotiate the conditions, so they broke up.
In the second year of Later Liang Kaiping, the late leaders Du Lun Xijia and Du Lunxin went to Tokyo to pay tribute, and were named by Later Liang as the left leader of the Wei General Tongzheng, and Su Lun Qilu was the right leader of the Wei General Tongzheng. Therefore, when the five dynasties were in turmoil, Liangzhou still maintained a certain connection with the Central Plains Dynasty.
After that, the internal contradictions split many times, and the current situation of coexistence between the Zhe clan and the Liugu tribe and some small Qiang tribes was formed. And the Tubo people, the main branch of the end of the country, lost their power, and the conquered people naturally no longer called themselves by the humiliating word of the end of the country, and the end of the department no longer exists.
