Chapter 146: The Wind Rises
'Say what you say, please say it again.' Li Chen's eyes widened in surprise again and asked in surprise. In front of him was a man dressed in an ordinary linen robe, with a dark and rough face, a weather-beaten appearance, thick hands, a tall and strong body, and a face that looked like an ordinary soldier, but the words he said were astonishing.
Shao Shuai said, if you want to buy Elysium, you can make a price. As soon as you open your mouth, you want to buy Paradise, or Shao Ze, the commander of the Silver Sword Army, are you sick? If you are sick, be cured, and don't run around.
'Elysium is not for sale. Li Chen snorted, and spit out these words, "There is something else in a certain family, and I am out of company." Li Chen didn't want to talk to this kind of person anymore, "Li Jun has something to say, and the price can be discussed." ’
If it can't be negotiated, Shao Tonghui will be very unhappy. When Li Chen heard this, he was happy. Shao Ze is unhappy, what does it matter to him, is he the king of Xuzhou, don't think that Jiedu will please him, a group of rough embryos, fight and kill Han, you can run rampant. Wrong... Why is he?
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, a few days after returning home, this person came to the door, claiming to be the representative of Shao Zede, the commander of the Silver Knife Army, and wanted to buy a hurry. Li Chen recalled the situation that day, judging from his performance that day, Shao Ze was not a brainless person, and he could not be the commander of the Silver Sword Army if he had no brains.
Although the Silver Knife Army is only a few hundred people, it is the best treatment, it has always been the leader of the marshal's personal guards, and there are thousands of people in the entire Silver Sword Army. In that case, how could Shao Ze want to buy Hurry Lotte? This kind of money-making industry, no one will sell.
'What does Commander Shao mean by this?' Thinking of this, Li Chen asked with a gloomy face. It's nothing, it's just to prepare some industry for the soldiers under his command. ''Oh, buy it, do you know how to run it?'' Li Chen disdains this person's words, a group of people can only eat and drink, fight with knives, if they buy Bliss, they will be defeated in a few days.
This point is not to worry about Li Jun, Shao Shuai plans to welcome Yang Duzhi to the door, please Yang Duzhi take care of it. ', poof, Li Chen almost squirted, why didn't this guy give up, "Come on, send off guests." Li Chen was so happy that he directly beckoned to come over and threw this person out.
Throwing people out, Li Chen stood up, and turned around a few times irritably, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, why did he want Bliss It was not enough, he actually wanted to marry Yang Er. Yang Er doesn't look at her as just a high-level prostitute, but people can be said to have no white contacts, and they talk and laugh with a lot of Confucianism, you are a fighting man, why? I've been stopped by Tian Mu once before, and now I still haven't given up. The more Li Chen thought about it, the more wrong it became, and decided to go to the Qinglou and ask Yang Er.
'Xiao Liang, where is Ah Yong? When I arrived at the Qinglou, Xiao Liang came out, these guys were out of nowhere, and they usually didn't know where they were, and they would appear as soon as something happened.
'Brother Yong has a holiday today. Xiao Liang replied with a smile. Vacation, good vacation, every time I come, I raise my eyebrows, and I don't know where to offend him, no one else will be like this. After asking Yang Er if there were no guests today, Li Chen went upstairs.
'That's it.' Hearing Li Chende's news, Yang Er frowned, showing that she was a little worried, "It's okay, the slave family will go to the Jiedu envoy to talk about it." ''Is it useful?'' Li Chen suspects that if he is not desperately rewarding his subordinates every day, Li Chen may think that he is a good temperance envoy just because of his previous actions.
Regardless of identity? What's there. Yang Er looked down on him, messed with the soldiers, and even sang and danced with the soldiers. But the general, don't you pay attention to one, and you have to share weal and woe with the soldiers? Back then, Wu Qi also sucked the abscesses on the lecture for the soldiers, and moved the soldiers to tears.
It's just that I shared weal and woe, and I didn't say that I was desperately rewarding. Tian Mu desperately gave out rewards, and he would only raise the soldiers to be pampered and arrogant, and he was not grateful. Although these soldiers were raised very arrogantly during the Wang Zhixing period, it is not your fault. However, if you follow the old method and don't want to correct it, sooner or later there will be problems.
With doubts in his arms, Li Chen left, Yang Er said to Li Chen that tomorrow she would have a banquet for the Jiedu envoy and a cadre of Xuzhou celebrities, and she would mention it to the Jiedu envoy again, and Tian Mu could still control the silver knife army. It's just that if you want to invite someone, you always have to have a reason, and as a result, Li Chen contributed another poem...
'Master. Li Chen left, Fu Bo came in and gave Yang Er a salute, "That Shao Ze is entangled, do you want an old slave...", Yang Er shook his head and sighed, "I just want to have a peaceful life, why is it so difficult." That person is not easy to deal with. ’
'How's Ayong?' ''It's not a big deal, it's going to be good for half a month.'' Hearing Yang Er ask about Ah Yong, Fu Bo became annoyed, "It's just that the harassment has been so strong recently, if we don't fight back, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Xuzhou." ’
'Temperance makes unreliable. Yang Er was worried, "But now I can only try it like this." Alas, is this still Datang? Yu Yang's chin agitated, shocked the song of the neon clothes and feathers, was it all wrong back then...' complained for half a sentence, Yang Er didn't say anything, and talked about him
Speaking of which, Li Langjun rehabilitated the woman. Yang Er smiled and said, "It is said that the decisions are made by men, why should women carry them?" The demon girl bewitches the emperor, is there no beauty when the holy monarch is in the court? Hearing this, Fauber also laughed.
Li Chen was also sighing, he now felt the harm of those feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, he has always been very strange, the relationship between the Tang Dynasty feudal town and the imperial court, it is okay to say that it is a local separation. However, if they are separated from the imperial court, many festival envoys still rely on the prestige of the imperial court to intimidate the place.
Like Wang Zhixing, he took the opportunity of the imperial court to attack the three towns of Hebei and captured Xuzhou. It's a rebellion. But he seized the opportunity to gamble that the imperial court would be defeated in Hebei, and he didn't dare to do anything to him. Fight back and take Xuzhou. It looks like a separation.
But after that, he was very flattering to the imperial court, and responded to the Tang court several times to send troops, and finally because of the long-delayed war, he lost the position of Wuning Jiedu envoy, he asked the court for an official position, left the position of Jiedu envoy, and ran away.
Li Chen felt that the strange thing about the Tang Dynasty feudal town was that it was said to be a separation, and in many cases, it was not necessarily the death of the father and the succession of the son, and it was often okay for the heir to keep up with the previous generation of festival envoys. Take a look at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Yan died, Liu Zhang took over his class, and Liu Biao also regarded his own management of Dezhou County as his own industry. However, in the Tang Dynasty, this phenomenon of father dying and son succession was not common, even if it was inherited, some people were unwilling, and some people wanted to inherit but were not recognized.
You said that obeying the central government, many jiedu envoys have to rely on the imperial court to maintain their prestige, Wang Zhixing is not a case, but local sergeants often elect new jiedu envoys on their own.
After thinking about it, this kind of thing has always been inseparable from the soldiers. Whether it is self-elected or appointed by the imperial court, it seems that in the end it depends on whether the soldiers admit it or not. This phenomenon will continue until the Song Dynasty, no matter how much the Song Dynasty suppresses the status of the warriors, but they just can't take the lowest soldiers, on the one hand, they are disgraced to prevent them from escaping, and on the other hand, they have to raise the soldiers.
You said that those van troops, all year round, can't eat a few meals. But the imperial court still tried every means to support it.
Millions of troops, if Song Ting was really not afraid of them, he would have laid them off a long time ago, how could he drag these burdens and find a way to find money to feed them.
But no matter what, Li Chen believes that there is only one inertia left in the Tang Dynasty now, and the Tang Dynasty, which has been founded for a hundred years, has become an inertia in the hearts of the people. It's like the wheel of history, it has been pushed by people for hundreds of years, and now no one pushes it, so it continues to keep moving on its original track until it can no longer walk.
Li Chen now walked outside a big house, knocked on the door, the porter came out to answer the door, Li Chen put the post in, and after a while, an old man came to welcome Li Chen in.
'Why is Wang Shuai here?' Seeing Wang Tong, Li Chen was taken aback. After thinking about it, he felt that Yang Er alone was unreliable, so he decided to find someone to ask, after all, Yang Er was also new to Pengcheng, and if he wanted to ask, of course he had to ask the head snake, so he came to Wang Tong's house.
'Small things, when you are not handsome, you will inevitably get a little injured. This is no longer a little wounded, Wang Tong's head is wrapped, and there are many wounds on his body, and the strips of cloth are dyed red.
Since Wang Shuai is injured, he will come back to visit another day. Li Chen got up, everyone is like this, it's not good to trouble people anymore, "It's okay, it's okay, Li Jun has something to say." Wang Tong waved his hand again and again and asked Li Chen to sit down.
Here's the thing. Li Chen told what had happened, Wang Tong didn't speak, just closed his eyes and pondered.
Li Jun knows why Ben Shuai is like this. ''Please also ask Zhang Shuai to elaborate. "Don't hide it, I've been friends with Lao Immortal for more than ten years, and as a local clan, it's natural to communicate with each other and help each other. Wang Tong said this, Li Chen complained in his heart, isn't it just collusion, it is very appropriate to think about it.
It's just that I've been dying lately, and there are a lot of people looking for ballast. Wang Tong was injured, and this is how he got it.
'Who is so bold?' Li Chen is strange, Wang Tong is not handsome, equivalent to the chief of the police department, although he is not in the product, but that bold man dares to pluck the hair on the tiger's head, "Could it be..., is it the Silver Knife Army?" ’
Indeed it is. Wang Tong was helpless, "Those murderers, who used to be Niu Side's subordinates, are now self-reliant, one by one, grabbing territory everywhere, Ben Shuai arrested people in the prison, and wanted to greet them well." ’
But it didn't take long for him to be fished out by the Silver Sword Army as soon as he was locked in. ''This... Does the festival make it irrelevant? ’
'What's the matter?' Wang Tong said with a sarcastic smile, "This Pengcheng, who doesn't know that the Jiedu envoy is just an ornament, don't look at him and the soldiers and slaves of the Silver Sword Army have a good talk, and the soldiers and slaves also support him, but that is what it seems." ’
In this world, who doesn't know that the real masters are those soldiers and slaves. Chase the commander at every turn. Wang Tong was sarcastic and deep.
