Chapter 360: The Order of the Military Attaché
Reform is often accompanied by bloodshed, and Zhao Tianci's reform is no exception.
Although there was a struggle for the reform of the civil bureaucracy, and the scholars did not have many choices in the face of swords, guns and sticks, the military attachés were different, especially the military generals who brought troops outside.
Two months after the new emperor ascended the throne, the holy decree of summoning all the military generals abroad to Beijing to report on their work flew like snowflakes to various places.
The military attachés who did not have many soldiers and horses under their command could say that they had no worries, and they came in the starry night after receiving the holy decree, while those generals with heavy troops were different, they thought about a lot of things, such as how to consolidate military power, whether they would be placed under house arrest and so on.
If you say that the person who has the most soldiers and horses in the world, it is Zhang Jun. He did hesitate for a long time when he received the holy decree at first, he had never seen the newly enthroned little emperor, and he couldn't guess what kind of person he was from Tanaka's words, everything was completely unfamiliar, which made him very uncertain. However, after thinking about it, he still decided to go to Lin'an in person, he was a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty after all, although there may be a "risk", but if he didn't go, it would not be a "risk" but a rebellion.
Now that his army has surrounded the six counties controlled by Li Jin, the situation has been very favorable to him, and he can't retreat at this time, so he handed over the responsibility of leading the troops to Tanaka and the deputy general Li De, and he only brought a few personal soldiers and went straight to Lin'an.
Just when he was about to arrive in Lin'an, he met a person on the way, and this person was Qin Hui who went north to submit the recital. Zhang Jun and Qin Hui are not very familiar with each other, but Qin Hui has the title of Qincha, so he must be respectful.
Qin Hui was very depressed, although he didn't really cross the river to the north, the letter was delivered smoothly, but on the way back, he learned a very bad news, the little emperor ascended the throne. And he removed the Ministry of Rites where he was located.
How can he not be depressed if he is "laid off" before he arrives? So when I saw Zhang Jun, I naturally couldn't control my emotions, and I was a little dissatisfied in my speech.
Zhang Jun is very strange, Qin Hui is on an errand abroad, how can he be so clear about the things around the emperor?
As soon as Qin Hui saw his expression, he knew what he was thinking. He took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun opened it and took a look. It turned out to be a "briefing" full of large and small words, but when I looked at the title again, the three big characters "Xinmin Daily" came into view, "What is this?" ”
Zhang Jun doesn't know about this, this is normal, the Xinmin Daily first published by Fan Jun and others is not very large, and it can only be sent to places where there is no war, like he led troops to besiege the city on the front line, so naturally he can't see this kind of new thing.
He looked at it carefully for a moment. I found that there was a large section of the reform information in the imperial court, including the adjustment and change of six parts. He searched and searched, but he didn't find a word on it mentioning military reform, so he felt a little relieved, and said, "Lord Qin, although the emperor has abolished the Ministry of Rites, the functions of the Ministry of Rites cannot be without. So you don't have to worry too much, the emperor must still have arrangements. ”
Qin Hui smiled bitterly and was silent. He couldn't tell Zhang Jun that the little emperor didn't like him very much when he was the crown prince before, and of course it was impossible that because he became the emperor, his identity changed, and his opinion of him would change.
Zhang Jun has something on his mind, Qin Hui is depressed, and the two themselves are not very familiar. So although they were on the same road, they didn't have much communication.
Two hours later, Lin'an Mansion was already in sight, but when passing through Lei Gong Mountain, it was stopped by the eunuch who came to preach the edict.
Seeing Zhang Jun puzzled. Qin Hui said, "General Zhang doesn't know anything, right?" The grassland at the foot of Lei Gong Mountain is now the residence of the prince's camp, and the new emperor asked you to wait here, and he wanted to meet you in the camp. I'm a civil official, not bound by this, General Zhang, there will be a period later! After saying that, he hugged his fists and prepared to leave.
Zhang Jun said, "Lord Qin, don't you want to meet the new emperor here?" ”
Qin Hui shook his head, "I'd better go see the new first assistant Li Gang first." ”
Zhang Jun nodded, and the two parted. He was about to ask where the eunuch was waiting, when the sound of horses' hooves arose behind him, and when he looked back, he saw three men and horses galloping towards him, and when he saw that he was in the way in front of him, he took the reins and jumped off the horse.
These three people are all burly, and one of them is like a fierce Zhang Fei-like figure, for the three of them, Zhang Jun has seen them all. Seeing that the person in front of them was Zhang Jun, the three of them hurriedly stepped forward and said, "General Zhang is invited!" ”
The eunuch who was waiting for the edict said in a loud voice, "Which one is Niu Gao, the envoy of the Western Dao?" ”
The man who was like a big flyer stepped forward and shouted, "I am!" ”
The eunuch asked again, "Are Wang Gui and Zhang Xian here?" ”
The two men stepped forward and said, "I'll wait!" ”
The eunuch looked at the two of them for a while, "When will General Yue arrive?" ”
Zhang Xiandao, "My general has set off, yesterday Jiankang battle, captured the Jin general Erchiyi alive, has now recovered Jiankang, the general is preparing to the new emperor to offer victory, and we will face the saint first." ”
The eunuch said, "Have you brought the recital for the victory?" ”
Zhang Xiandao, "Father-in-law, when my general was leaving, he said that this performance should be handed over to the emperor in person by the last general. ”
"Good! Come with me, the emperor is camping, and I'll take you to see the emperor!" Then he made a call to Zhang Jun and Niu Gao, "The two generals Lao have waited for a while, there are still a few people who have not arrived, so we will go back when we go." After speaking, he took Zhang Xian and Wang Gui and left together.
Niu Gao glared at the tiger and sighed, "General Yue is really brave, he actually recovered Jiankang and captured the enemy leader alive, hey!" I sighed to myself! ”
Zhang Jun nodded and didn't speak, what he was thinking about was another thing, according to what Tanaka said, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong had a great friendship with the crown prince and the current emperor, although they belonged to their own dispatch, but it was only nominal, in fact, they still went their own way, he guessed that they should have arrived early.
Just thinking about it, the sound of horses' hooves behind him sounded again, only to see the four groups of people approaching before and after, Zhang Jun saw that he was busy bowing down and getting out of the way, it turned out that the person who was the leader was the first assistant Lu Yihao, who had not been in office for a long time, and behind him was Zhang Jun, and there were two people he also knew, one was Han Shizhong's wife Liang Hongyu, and the other was Wu Jie, the envoy of Xuanfu and his younger brother Wu Lan, who had joined forces with him to fight the enemy, and he also knew the elite and strong men around Liang Hongyu, who was the right-hand man Hu Yantong under Han Shizhong, the descendant of Hu Yanzan, the founding father.
Lu Yihao had just launched a defense in Chizhou, and before the battle was fought, he received a holy order to call him back to Lin'an, and Zhang Jun had just arrived in Sichuan and Shaanxi a few days ago, so he took the order and turned back, which was really a great toss.
Han Shizhong first sent Liang Hongyu and Hu Yan through, he had other important matters, of course, this important matter was also directly related to the little emperor Zhao Tianci, this was a secret agreement between them, and it could not be revealed to the public.
A few people met and made a noise, and before they had time to talk more, the eunuch came back, except for the rough strong man Hu Yantong he didn't know, everyone else had seen it, so he didn't talk nonsense anymore, leaving a few eunuchs to wait in place, and then took them directly to the prince's camp.
The eunuch took them to a tall stand, and from here they looked down, and the training ground was full of colorful flags fluttering and crowded, and although there were many people, it was very quiet.
"Mrs. Yang Guo, please come with me!" The eunuch came to Liang Hongyu and bowed.
Liang Hongyu responded and said to Hu Yantong, "General Hu Yan, you wait here and communicate more with the generals." ”
"Got it, ma'am, go ahead!" Hu Yantong waved his hand aggressively, pulled a chair and sat down.
Liang Hongyu frowned slightly, turned around and followed the eunuch to the side of the Chinese army camp, and saw a pretty figure Tingting standing at the gate of the camp, she couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Second sister! ”
That person was Luo Yunfei, she walked two steps quickly to Liang Hongyu, and the two held hands, "Sister, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, both quite emotional. Although the time of separation is not much, the changes in the interimtime are too great.
Luo Yunfei is not from the imperial court, she received a secret letter written by Zhao Tianci himself, stating that she has ascended the throne as the emperor, and asking her to return and discuss important matters. She had just gathered the Cult of Our Lady scattered everywhere to prevent them from becoming homeless and causing trouble, and everything had just begun to have an eyebrow, and she couldn't leave, but since Zhao Tianci said that there was something important to discuss, she couldn't delay it anyway, so she rushed back in the starry night.
She and Liang Hongyu gossiped for a while, and Liang Hongyu quietly asked, "Second sister, why did the emperor recruit all the military attaches here?" ”
Luo Yunfei smiled, "He has too many ghost ideas to count, I haven't seen him since I came back, and I don't know what he thinks." She pointed to the Huang Luo umbrella next to the stands, "He has set up a seat for us there, let's go over." ”
The two came to the umbrella of Huang Luo, and sure enough, they found that there was a row of seats there, and in front of them was a tall gimbal, and there was no one on it, so it must be the emperor's seat.
"What about the emperor?" Liang Hongyu asked.
Luo Yunfei pointed to the middle of the field, "Where is he, let's go up." As he spoke, he pulled Liang Hongyu out of the cloud platform.
This gimbal is a cut taller than the other stands, and when you look down from here, you can see a wider line of sight, and you can see the entire training ground.
There were also more than a dozen seats on it, Luo Yunfei pulled Liang Hongyu to sit down on the two chairs in front of him, and then leaned over and looked down, trying to find Zhao Tianci among the colorful flags, but it turned out that it was in vain, and the people below were also walking around in military uniforms of different colors, and they couldn't tell who was who at all.
"Second sister, the emperor said that he was going to form an eight-color battalion, are these people?" Liang Hongyu asked.
Luo Yunfei nodded, "It should be them." She suddenly turned her head and smiled, "Eldest sister, I heard from Tianci that the leader of his eight-color camp, the leader of the Red Camp, is also called Liang Hongyu, and he looks a little similar to the eldest sister, you can meet later." ”
Liang Hongyu smiled, "I also heard about it, I should see it." ”
