Chapter 299: Exile is already the greatest mercy

Fan Yanguang's legs trembled, and he was almost about to kneel. Luoyang is the capital of the country, and dare to ask Luoyang to be the one who has a bad intention!

Zhang Mai didn't speak, staring at Fan Yanguang with cold eyes, Fan Yanguang didn't even dare to look at Zhang Mai at this time, but he still felt that a pair of knife-like sharp eyes pierced him, and cold sweat soaked his clothes on his back.

Although the general Sun Rui was afraid of Zhang Mai's majesty, he was a little anxious, seeing that Fan Yanguang was pressed by Zhang Mai and couldn't say a word, he was anxious in his heart, and plucked up the courage to shout: "Marshal, if you really want to kill, kill us directly, although we are not your cronies, and the credit is not as great as your cronies, but if we don't fight a battle, we will change the banner, how can we be regarded as meritorious and exiled, is this to use us to set an example for the people of the world." ”

His words reminded Fan Yanguang that although Zhang Mai is now untouchable, Fan Yanguang thought to himself that if he stopped fighting at this moment, if he was really exiled overseas, the Luju River or the Western Regions, most of them would not survive there, and he would have to die on the way! He also cheered up at the moment and shouted: "Marshal, it's me Fan Yanguang who shouldn't disobey you, it's all my fault, if you want to kill me, just spare my subordinates, they can't go to the Western Regions, just give them a chance to go home and farm." ”

He said this beautifully, and the words were sure that Zhang Mai wanted to kill him, and he didn't invite himself, but put on a posture of protecting his subordinates, you must know that since ancient times, martial artists are the most protective of their shortcomings, in this way, Zhang Mai is not easy to deal with him, and if it is passed on afterwards, it will also be appreciated by the Central Plains martial artists. As for the word "disobedience", it is even more tied to Zhang Mai's likes and dislikes, who said that martial artists are rude? Fan Yanguang is like this, and he is also very poisonous when he needs to be attentive.

Zhang Mai sighed and said, "Do you think that I am angry with you because I hate you?" Do you think that several of my sub-seals are cheating on you? ”

Fan Yanguang gritted his teeth and said, "The Son of Heaven is gracious." Whoever is a courtier has no complaints! ”

Zhang Mai was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "The rules of my Tiance Datang are not decorations, and the four words of impartiality are not invalid when they come to me." I've already said it when I deal with the tax exemption order incident. Our regime has just been established, and what we need is a bright impetus for governance, not a machinations from the outset. Let me tell you bluntly, these four places I have given you are not places of happiness, and it must have been very hard at first, but if you dare to go, I will definitely give you support in terms of manpower, material resources, and governance strategies, and the long-term achievements you will establish in the future will definitely go down in history. And for your sake, I will also forgive you for a certain mistake. This is not a confession to me, but an account that you must make to history and to the world. ”

Where is Fan Yanguang willing to believe Zhang Mai's words? He just kowtowed and said, "The marshal can exile the last general wherever he wants!" Just let my poor and innocent subordinates go! ”

Zhang Mai saw that he was obsessed, and said twice: "You people, soldiers and generals, generals and commanders, are hateful and pitiful, but no one is innocent. All the Expedition. It's to give you a chance to make amends, since you don't want to. Then I'll deal with it separately. ”

Speaking of this, he paused again and said, "There are still a few people who have not been arranged just now...... Guo Zhangbei conquered Mobei, killed the enemy meritoriously, and stepped forward to listen to the seal. ”

In the stunned amazement of the generals, Guo Zhang stepped forward. Zhang Mai said: "Guo Bian has done a good job in India, but the letters he sent me recently contain the meaning of remembering relatives and wanting to go to the Central Plains. Now I have named you the governor of Tianzhu and the marquis of the lower grade. I will give you two years to prepare, and allow you to recruit farmers, craftsmen, doctors, monks, soldiers, and women in the Central Plains, with a minimum limit of 30,000 people, to purchase weapons and seeds, and then go to Tianzhu two years later, to be a foreign governor, hereditary replacement, and when you set up the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate in the future, you will only be subject to the control of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and in addition, you can act cheaply regardless of military and political affairs. ”

Guo Zhang's body shook slightly, his eyes were slightly wet, but he used his body to shield his reaction from outsiders, and after a while, he said: "The last general takes orders!" This trip to Tianzhu will definitely open up territory and make contributions to my China! ”

Zhang Mai added: "It is one thing to expand the territory, but it is more important to establish good governance. India is a big country with thousands of miles, but now the government is scattered and disorganized, after you go there, cooperate with Guo Bian, govern the country well, have three years for you to buffer, and replace Guo Bian after six years, I have another important use for him. As for your son, stay in the Central Plains, your sister and I will raise him well, and when he grows up, let him go to Tianzhu to serve you. Well, when Guo Bian returns to the east, let him take a detour to the river and bring Guo Luo's son with him, your sister misses her nephew. ”

Guo Zhang kowtowed and said yes.

Zhang Mai said again: "Ding Yanshan stepped forward to listen to the seal. ”

Ding Yanshan is Ding Hanshan's younger brother, he was seriously injured by Gao Huaide, and has temporarily withdrawn from the front line of the battle to recuperate, Zhang Mai said: "How is your injury?" ”

Ding Yanshan said: "There is no ...... Big problem. The voice was a little choppy and staccatory.

Zhang Mai said: "You have suffered heavy losses on the battlefield, I asked the doctor, and the doctor said that you should not use force within three years, so I think you might as well be demobilized." ”

Ding Yanshan exclaimed: "Marshal...... Weekend...... The last general can still ride a horse and fight, now the Khitan is not peaceful, the Central Plains is undecided, the last general is willing to saddle the horse and fight with the marshal! ”

Zhang Mai shouted: "What kind of bastard words!" Now there are so many proud soldiers and fierce generals in our army, although the Khitan is still there, it is only a matter of time, although the Central Plains has not yet been decided, it is only a matter of time, seeing that there are more wolves and less meat, what are you making a fuss about! ”

Ding Yanshan didn't dare to say any more, Zhang Mai said: "You are my cronies, I can't treat you badly after being demobilized, now I promise you a good messenger." Talas has been ruined for ten years, and now the population is gradually gathering, there is a branch of the Silk Road, although it is not as prosperous as the main road, the pattern is a little smaller, but in the years it will also be a paradise in the desert, I will make you a baron, and I also allow you to recruit craftsmen, farmers, monks, doctors, scholars, and women in the Central Plains to become a city lord in Talas. As long as he is innocent, he will be hereditary. ”

Ding Yanshan saw that Zhang Mai had already made arrangements, and knew that he had to say anything, so he stopped saying it and saluted to receive his orders.

Zhang Mai said again: "General Yang Dingbang was cut off for our army, and he was in the northwest to live and die, Yang Zhuo went to look for it, and recently there was news coming around, and it seems that he has found a little clue, but the news is not clear enough." I guess they might have gone near the Volga. Thousands of miles in the Western Regions, it is not a matter of three or five years to go back and forth, and we must make long-term preparations. You are also an old man who came out of the new Broken Leaf City, and you actually have average qualifications in terms of fighting, but you have a lot of family knowledge in geographical research and customs. You should also be able to get used to the climate there, after arriving in Talas, Haosheng will operate the trade route from the Tang Dynasty to the northwest, and gather the hearts of the Huoxun tribe, if General Yang Dingbang is fortunate to return in the future, then you will be the earliest to respond, or if we want to organize a group to go to the Volga River basin again, then you are the westernmost springboard of the country. ”

Ding Yanshan heard Zhang Mai's arrangement like this, and it turned out that he had another important task, so he saluted and received orders again. But he was very reluctant and said: "Marshal, the last general wants his son to study in the Central Plains." ”

Zhang Mai said: "Thousands of miles, the separation of flesh and blood, are you willing to do it?" ”

Ding Yanshan said: "At most, when the last general is old, let him come to Talas to serve me." It's like Brother Zhang. ”

Zhang Mai said: "Yes." ”

After Ding Yanshan retreated, Zhang Mai said again: "Shi Jian." ”

Shi Jian came out of the ranks, and Zhang Mai said: "From today." You can step down from the position of deputy commander of the Dragon Armored Army. ”

This is an extremely noble responsibility, but Shi Jian didn't say a word. He said neatly, "Yes." ”

Zhang Mai said: "I will make you a high-grade marquis, go to the bank of the Luju River to find land to build a city, where the city is, within a radius of five hundred miles, it is your fiefdom." You have just returned from there, and the situation is familiar, if there are any brothers in the Longxiang Iron Armor Army who are willing to go north with you. I promise to prepare well and come out after the beginning of spring next year. ”

Shi Jian said: "The marshal's arrangement must have deep meaning, but my son also has to study in the Central Plains." ”

Zhang Mai said: "Got it! Let the children all read and practice martial arts together. ”

After Shi Jian received the order. Zhang Mai said again: "Fu Yanqing." ”

Fu Yanqing heard the order and came out.

Zhang Mai said: "Outside the East China Sea, there is a big island, called Ryukyu, which is the place I just said I would give half to Fan Yanguang - in fact, I was really reluctant to give him that big island, and I regretted it after I opened my mouth, and I only laughed at him for missing the treasure and I didn't know it." In the long run, the future is great, but the pioneer period will be very hard, and the first step now is to open the port and resettle the colony. Among the descendants of your Fu family, can anyone dare to open up the wasteland? ”

Fu Yanqing thought for a while and said, "The minister's son is still young, but Fu Zhaoren, the son of his brother, can be in charge." ”

Zhang Mai said: "This is a great achievement that is bound to go down in history, but it is also a difficult thing, you have to think about it, but don't blame me for your relatives accusing you of mistreating your brother in the future." ”

Fu Yanqing said: "The young man should be powerful, and if he doesn't make meritorious deeds, how can he be qualified to enjoy peace!" ”

Zhang Mai laughed and said, "Okay, that's good!" If you don't make meritorious deeds, how can you be qualified to enjoy peace! Good! Just let him go. I need manpower and material resources to tell Dongshu that I need to meet him as much as possible, especially the medicine I need to prepare well, the miasma there is very powerful, but I have a way to deal with it, the first batch will send 2,000 people over, and then 6 more people. As for the shipping matter, let Zhao Zan help, you are relatives, and acquaintances are easy to do. ”

After Fu Yanqing received the order on behalf of his nephew, Zhang Maicai turned to Fan Yanguang and said, "Do you still think I'm cheating on you?" ”

Fan Yanguang saw that Zhang Mai made arrangements one by one, none of which he could understand, and among the arrangements made, there were three places that were the way to go to him just now, but they were all rejected by himself, and he didn't know whether those places were really good or fire pits, so he was speechless for a while.

Zhang Mai said: "I really want to protect you for the sake of the overall situation, but it's a pity that you missed the opportunity." ”

Seeing that Fan Yanguang was speechless again, Sun Rui came out and shouted: "Even if there is really any merit there, where can it be compared to the Central Plains." We don't want to go thousands of miles away to be a public servant, we just want to go home and be a farmer. ”

Zhang Mai sneered: "Who are you! Jump out three times twice and make noise! I'm sealing Fan Yanguang, what does it have to do with you! ”

"I ...... The last general, Sun Rui......"

Zhang Mai raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Sun Rui? Is that the criminal general who dared to disobey the king's orders and kill the law enforcement team? ”

Sun Rui was startled and shouted, "I'm ...... I didn't! ”

"No?" Zhang Mai said: "Where is Fa Cao!" ”

Ma Xiaochun passed the order, and soon saw Fa Cao who went to Wuqing to investigate, and after saluting, he pointed to Sun Rui and said: "What happened, the subordinates have investigated clearly, and the order of the marshal has been given, and the military horses in Wuqing City should have closed the city gate for training the whole army." But in just one day, Fan Yanguang's subordinates became loose and bored, among which the Israeli general Sun Rui was the most impatient, and even disobeyed the military order and went out of the city to hunt without permission, which happened to meet the law enforcement team. The law enforcement team had already revealed their history, and asked about the experience, knowing that they had illegally gone out of the city, so the law enforcement team ordered all of them to put down their weapons and be arrested, but Sun Rui was unwilling to be captured, so he drew a knife to resist, and killed one person in the chaos. If we talk about the law, disobedience is already a serious crime, and the crime of manslaughter should be considered death and be pitiful. But then, Sun Rui saw that things were getting bigger, and he actually ordered a siege and prepared to extinguish the mouth, this is a bad incident that our army has never had since the establishment of the army! Fortunately, the law enforcement team led the alert, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he ordered to flee separately, but Sun Rui couldn't catch up, so he only killed a few people, and pleaded with Fan Yanguang after returning to the city. Fan Yanguang knew what was going on, but he still decided to cover it up. When his subordinates entered Wuqing to investigate, he launched 300 substitute ghosts. The subordinates and others investigated everywhere, and Fan Yanguang and Sun Rui sent people to follow, called helping, but they were really secretly making trouble. Therefore, the case was delayed, forcing his subordinates to switch to a covert investigation. Only then did the people in the know be brought out and the truth was ascertained. ”

Fan Yanguang and Sun Rui heard half of it, and their faces were already like ghosts! They thought that the investigation into that matter had already ended, and who knew that they would be singled out at this time! The details before and after the incident are clear and detailed, and there is no way to shirk it!

Facao spoke in detail. Without getting tired of it, he followed the submission and said: "These are all testimonies, with the fingerprints of the testimony's confessions. ”

Zhang Mai took the paperwork, glanced at it, and then handed it to Ma Xiaochun, Ma Xiaochun handed it to Fan Yanguang, Zhang Mai said: "What else do you have to say!" ”

Fan Yan's face was as bright as earth, and he didn't have the courage to open the paperwork. Only Sun Rui was still dying and resisting, shouting: "Framed, framed, this is framed!" ”

Zhang Mai said: "The evidence of the crime is conclusive, how can you deny it!" ”

Sun Rui shouted: "This is the evidence of the crime!" ”

"Evidence of the crime? Then I'll get you another ID! Zhang Mai stared at Fan Yanguang's back and said, "Is there anyone who knows who is willing to testify!" ”

Behind Fan Yanguang and beside Sun Rui, Feng Hui stood up when he heard the words and said: "The minister is willing to testify, what Fa Cao said just now is true." ”

Fan Yanguang looked back suddenly, his eyes were full of anger and surprise, and then he knew why Fa Cao knew things so clearly!

Sun Rui jumped up and shouted, "You...... You! ”

Zhang Mai shouted: "What are you! He asked Fa Cao Dao: "Are there any other witnesses?" ”

Fa Cao said: "Fan Yanguang's staff Zhang Qiqi is also willing to make meritorious contributions and testify against Sun Rui. The handprints of the confession are already in the paperwork. ”

Zhang Mai said: "Okay. He asked Fan Yanguang and Sun Rui again: "Do you still need me to let that Zhang Miracle come in?" ”

Fan Yanguang was almost paralyzed, where could he still speak.

Zhang Mai said: "Sun Rui broke the law, what should he do according to military law?" ”

Fa Cao said: "Chop! ”

Zhang Mai said: "Execution!" ”

Fa Cao waved his hand, and two law enforcement sergeants came in, pushing Sun Rui, who was constantly struggling, out, and soon a cannon rang out outside the tent, and Fa Cao sergeant replied: "The crime will be killed!" ”

Zhang Mai said: "Xiao, set an example!" Continue to investigate thoroughly, find out the murderer with his own hands, and be guilty of the same crime as Sun Rui. The rest of the three hundred accomplices were exiled to the river! ”

Sergeant Facao took the order and left.

Zhang Mai looked at Fan Yanguang again and said: "Sun Rui resists and disobeys the order, I can't spare him no matter what, no matter who it is, there will be no mercy for violating military law." But after all, you have the merit of changing banners, and you have played a great role in stabilizing Hebei in advance, and it can be said that you have indirectly saved the lives of many people in Hebei, so I have the intention of opening up the net......"

Fan Yanguang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Marshal spare your life!" Marshal spare his life! ”

"It's late!" Zhang Mai said: "Now that the matter is revealed, I will cure you of the crime of exile." This time it's really exiled. ”

Fan Yanguang kept kowtowing and said: "The last general doesn't dare to shirk, please deal with it with the marshal, please deal with it with the marshal." ”

Zhang Mai said: "The seal of five hundred miles is cut off, and you still have the accomplice soldiers, let's be exiled for eight thousand miles together." Can you be convicted? ”

Fan Yanguang calculated, thinking that although it was five thousand miles away, he was afraid that he had not yet arrived in Talas. Secretly relieved, he said, "Sin will be willing to accept it." ”

But I heard Zhang Mai say: "Okay, then I'll give you four choices." First, thousands of miles northwest from Talas, there was a huge inner six seas called the Caspian Sea, and there was a great river called the Volga River that flowed into these inner six seas......"

When he said this, Ding Hanshan was already very strange. I don't know how Zhang Mai knew such a distant geography - the Ding family was in charge of the military geographical intelligence of the Tang Army in Anxi for so many years, and he didn't know the sea and the Volga River in the northwest.

Zhang Mai said: "Although the Volga River basin is bitterly cold, it is a fertile plain of thousands of miles, and it is still a wild land. General Yang Dingbang, the earliest second Fold Chong Mansion of my Tiance, was forced to go west many years ago. There was no news, and then Yang Zhuo went to look for it again in order to make meritorious service for his crimes, and recently brought back a message, saying that he heard the news of General Yang Dingbang on the banks of the Volga River, and you should now lead your guilty subordinates to follow Ding Yanshan to Talas first, and then he arranged to go to the Volga River. When I got there, I followed the orders of the two Yang generals. ”

Fan Yanguang was stunned when he heard it, thousands of miles northwest from Talas, what would it be! It's scary to think about!

He was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged for mercy, and Zhang Mai said, "You don't want to go?" ”

Fan Yanguang cried: "The sin will not go away. Ask the marshal to give the last general a second option. ”

Zhang Mai said: "Okay, Guo Bian's men and horses are going south along the Indian River, and the most advanced has reached the beach of Tianzhu." You go to Tianzhu with Guo Zhang. From there, ships were built to the sea, and along the coastline went west. Crossing the Gulf of Oman, then along the coastline to the southwest, and then across the Gulf of Aden, you will reach a peninsula called the Somali Peninsula, which is part of a large 6. It is called Africa, and it is also called Heida 6. From the mouth of the Indus River all the way to Somalia, there are shipping lanes that have been opened up by heavenly merchants, so you don't have to worry about running out of roads. Somalia is probably thousands of miles away from the mouth of Tianzhu. After you get there. Open up the villages, establish strongholds, and I promise that within ten years, there will be ships from Huaxia that will arrive there, and you will be able to meet them on the spot when the time comes. ”

Fan Yanguang finally understood at this time, the so-called "eight thousand miles of exile" is not eight thousand miles from here, but eight thousand miles from the most border of the Tiance regime! What is the Volga River, although it sounds far away, it is also 6 places anyway! What is this Somali Peninsula, that is far overseas after the Western Regions!

Fan Yanguang screamed: "Marshal, the sin will not go away!" I can't go! ”

"Or not?"

"It's not that I won't go, it's that I can't go."

"Then ......," Zhang Mai said, "I'll give you a third choice." From the Ryukyus, further south, there is a large island called Mayi (Philippines), and further south of Mayi, there is a larger island, probably the size of a hundred Youzhou, called Boni. Further south from Boni, there is a huge Da 6, called Nanda 6, about 30 or 40 million square miles, and I want to establish a base there in the distant future, as a migration place after the overpopulation of China......"

Fan Yanguang was already dizzy, but he heard Zhang Mai say: "You don't need to go as far as Nanda 6, just go to Boni, and also establish a stronghold there, which can be regarded as a meritorious service." ”

Fan Yanguang wept and said, "Marshal, is there a fourth choice?" ”

When the generals saw him like this, they all felt a little pity for him.

Zhang Mai sighed: "The first three, although it is difficult, I still have a few sures, and the last one, I am not sure." However, although the risks are greater, the benefits are greater. As long as you take your hundreds of guilty men next year, go to the Ryukyus first, board the ship when the ocean current goes north, go all the way to the northeast, go around the Goryeo Peninsula, all the way to the east, all the way through the East China Sea Nuzhi, to the place where there is no way out, where the sun never sets in summer, and it is the northeasternmost corner of our Shenzhou Da6, there is a shallow strait, about 170 miles wide, and on the opposite side is another Da6 that is larger than Nanda 6, called Dongda 6, also known as Fuso Da6, our ancestors of Dongyi have passed from here, And in the ability to cultivate high-yield and hardy crops, one is called potatoes, and the other is corn, if you can go to Fusang 6 to get these two things back, don't say that you are exempt from sin, princely wealth and wealth are whatever you want! In addition, Dongda 6 is rich in gold, and there is a river called the Golden River, and the sand in the valley is half a bucket of gold and half a bucket of sand. ”

Fan Yanguang was already completely dizzy, but he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, Zhang Mai looked at him coldly, and he was no longer interested in continuing to exhort, so he waved his hand and said, "Go down, think about where you want to go." ”

――――――――――

After Fan Yanguang was pushed down, Zhang Mai announced the end of the meeting, Zhao Zan deliberately stayed, and asked Zhang Mai: "Marshal, release the said Dongfang Fusang Da 6, is there really that place?" Is there really a river of gold? ”

Zhang Mai glanced at Zhao Zan, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

Note: I was dizzy when I wrote a few days ago, and I forgot that Guo Luo and Yang Yi are both generals. A correction is hereby declared. (To be continued......)
