Chapter 100: Oath of Office

Zhao Ren bowed down and was trained by the prince for a long time, and only then did he know what the prince meant from his words: the living can't let them die, and they can be chained to the gate to watch the door when they camp in the future. They came to the rescue, just in time to throw themselves into the net; If you don't save it, watching your companions being chained to the door like dogs, and the organization you work for is doing nothing, you will definitely have a little psychological activity from one to the other; In addition, when no one misses, at that point they will become bargaining chips again, and waste can still be reused, so let them live and raise them well!

The prince is not thin for the living, and it is not bad for the dead, so he asked the craftsman team to make a thin coffin for each of them, and then dug a big pit on a sunny hillside to bury them together according to the military salute, and also set up a stone tablet, and the names of these people may never be known, and can only be engraved in general 'Tomb of Xia Twenty-six Warriors'.

Some people are very puzzled by the prince's unobtrusive behavior, according to the convention, for the assassins who dare to assassinate the king, the living ones must be tortured to death, and the beheadings are all repaired in the previous life, and it is cheap to cut the oil pot with thousands of knives; The head of the dead owl is displayed to the public, and it is normal for the body to be exposed for three days.

Regarding everyone's discussion, Zhao Ta only said one sentence: 'The two countries fight each for their own masters, and each has its own destiny in life and death, and I can't help others, but those who die on the battlefield are warriors loyal to the country, and both friends and enemies are worthy of respect! So the military regulations of the Xiangyi Army added another clause: 'After the war, we should pay attention to collecting the bodies of the war dead, and our own martyrs should try their best to bring them back for burial, and those who cannot be brought back should also be buried on the spot and marked, so as to be retrieved when conditions are available in the future; The corpse of the enemy should also be buried on the spot, and the location and number of people should be informed of the opponent. ’

After dealing with everything, the Xiangyi army held a commendation meeting, rewarded the meritorious personnel last night, and then held a feast, the whole army had a meal, anyway, the children picked up were not afraid of falling, and most of those caravans were trafficked cattle and sheep, and now they were robbed, and they had no intention of doing business again, so they were dealt with according to the capital. The seized private salt is not only sold at a low price, but also can make a lot of profits, and Zhao Ta loves to do the things that others are generous to, so he is not merciless when he loses, eats well, drinks well, and rewards money, so that everyone has the urge to go to the battlefield quickly!

Two days later, the army pulled out the camp again, braved the wind and snow to march to Taiyuan City, the prince worked tirelessly, was not afraid of danger and shared weal and woe with the army, walked on foot, the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted, and the song was gone. Three days later, the army arrived at the city, Zhao Ta set up the guard of honor, the sergeant who opened the road raised the banner, respectively, the prince of the Great Song Yan, the Taibao Kaifu Yi with the three divisions, the Baode Jiedu envoy, the general of Shangzhuguo, the deputy envoy of the northwest road through the slight pacification, the Hedong road through the slightly pacified envoy, dozens of military trumpets sounded at the same time, the guards on both sides drew knives in hand, Xinghuang Shuai's Zhao Ta wore a golden crown, dressed in a python robe and rode a horse, Taiyuan City officials lined up to greet each other, and welcomed Shangguan into the city.

．．．．．．

Since ancient times, Taiyuan has the reputation of "Dragon City", from King Zhou Cheng, Zhao Jianzi, Liu Heng, to Gao Huan, Gao Yang, Li Yuan, Li Shimin, and then to Li Cunqiao, Shi Jingjiao, Liu Zhiyuan, etc., Taiyuan rose and fell in the change of dynasties. Until Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, the arduous battle to defend the city angered the Zhao brothers, so after three conquests, they captured Jinyang City and burned it, led Jin, Fen, and flooded, and completely destroyed Jinyang City.

Interestingly, although Taiyuan was destroyed by Zhao Guangyi, because Taiyuan is not only an important town in the north, but also the north gate of the Central Plains, its geographical location and military status are very important, and its status has not been shaken. At this time, the Liao State was eyeing the new Great Song Dynasty, and Shanxi still had to be defended, so Zhao Guangyi appointed Pan Mei as the commander of the Northern Shanxi Military Region and Yang Ye as the deputy commander, but Taiyuan City was gone, and it became a problem where the two commanders went. Fortunately, there is also a small village left near Taiyuan, called Sanjiaozhai, Pan Mei's official title has become 'Sanjiao Deployment', and Yang Ye has become 'Daizhou Thorn History and Sanjiao Garrison Troop Deployment' has become the title of the official title with a small name but the most powerful in Chinese history! …,

After Zhao Guangyi destroyed Jinyang City, in order to show off his achievements in Pingbei Han and Jinyang, he changed the Chongsheng Temple where he commanded the battle to be stationed in Tongping Temple, and built Pingjin City, but the people of Jinyang did not dare to live there, and many homeless people were displaced and fled to Tangming Town and Sanjiao Village to settle down, Zhao Guangyi ordered Pan Mei to rebuild Taiyuan City on the basis of Tangming Town, and Tangming Town was a small village with only one street at that time. And the newly-built Taiyuan City is only a city wall without a brick earthen city, 270 steps in the 11th week, the city is not big, divided into the inner city and the outer city, the two cities and the four gates are not opposite, Zhao Guangyi only Dinosaur City and then out of the real dragon Tianzi, and he competes for the world, so the streets in the city do not repair the cross street, only repair the T-shaped street, he thinks that 'the T-shaped street is the same as the big iron nail, so that the dragon vein can be nailed. ’

The government of the Song Dynasty allowed merchants along the border to do business with the Liao, and set up a number of farms, so that at the same time, due to the frequent wars and the prevention of Khitan invasions in the north, the northern border fortress gathered a large army in the north, and the demand for various daily necessities swelled. In order to meet the huge supply of border military supplies, a system of tea and salt money was implemented to encourage the border with profits. And Taiyuan City is not only in the north-south traffic rush, and in the North China Plain to the southwest of the 'Sichuan-Shaanxi channel', is the northwest, southwest region to Hebei, the only way to Beijing, the convenience of transportation, promote the prosperity of commerce, make Taiyuan become an important commercial city in the north of the Song Dynasty, a transit hub for various commodities.

After seventy or eighty years of development, Taiyuan is full of vitality again, and there is a praise of "Huahua Zhengding Mansion, Splendid Taiyuan City". During the Chongning period, Taiyuan was rebuilt into the Governor's Mansion, with ten counties under its jurisdiction, with 155,583 households and 121,768 mouths, and this period became another prosperous period after the completion of Taiyuan New Town.

Zhao Ta and his entourage entered the city from the south, Taiyuan City after development, the original urban area appeared to be more and more narrow, and expanded the three sub-cities of Dongguan, Nanguan and Beiguan, passed through the Nanguan into Kaiyuanmen, passed through the state city, and entered the sub-city in the northwest of the state city. Zhao Ta rode on the horse to look around, about to celebrate the New Year, although Taiyuan is located in the border, but the prosperity is not less than the capital, but also everywhere the lights are colorful, businessmen gathered. Outside the sub-city gate is also modeled after the Ao Mountain in the capital, although it is not as tall and magnificent as the Xuande Gate, but it is also gorgeous and magnificent.

Zicheng is a city within a city, accounting for almost a quarter of the entire state city, which is mainly the official offices, granaries, armories, prisons, forage yards and the barracks of the Hedong garrison, with regular streets and alleys and orderly order. The distance between the north and south of the city is less than three miles, and it takes only a moment to arrive at the Xuanzhao Hall, which is the official office and station of the pacification envoy by Jingluo, and the military camp on the east side.

．．．．．．

Taiyuan prefect Wang Ge is full of smiles, but his heart is mixed, this kid may still have the impression, that is, Zhu Mian's protégé, dare to close the gate of Fengfeng and search, like the 'prison empty' of the former Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and Zhao Ta is also an old acquaintance, the prince swept away pornography in the capital a while ago, and sent a group of arrested eunuchs and nobles to Kaifeng Mansion to spank, and Wang Ge also offended the magnates in the capital because of this. He was also worried that someone would find fault and retaliate, Zhao Ta went to Jiangnan in front of him, and he moved on his back foot and was transferred to Taiyuan to avoid trouble!

After entering the council room, everyone took their seats, and Huang Jingchen read out the holy decree first, and then the power was handed over. According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, the general position of the pacification envoy of Lu Zhi is concurrently held by the prefect of the capital of this road, so before Zhao Ta came, Wang Ge also held this position, and this Xuan Zhao Hall was his official office. Wang Ge handed over the seal letter to the prince, and his heart was sour, why did he carry it so much? This Prince Yan is simply his own nemesis, he can't hide if he wants to, he just sat in this position hot, and he grabbed it again. Looking at the warehouse division, the supervisor and the constitutional secretary sitting on both sides were even more sad in their hearts, just now they were still in a relationship between superiors and subordinates, and as soon as this seal letter was handed over, they became colleagues, and in the future, the speaking order was done into a discussion! …,

Zhao Ta bowed to the letter, and Wang Ge were both in tears, and they had their own tastes in their hearts. Then a staff member took over the key to the account book, and then re-ascended to the hall, he sat on the main seat, and officially took office as the pacification envoy of Hedong Road. It was the same as now, and Zhao Ta made an enthusiastic speech: first of all, he praised his great and correct father, the Great Song Emperor; Then he praised the commander of the Northwest, Captain Tong, and congratulated him on a series of major victories; The second is to praise the subordinates, saying that without their conscientious work and forgetting to sleep and eat, there would be no stability and prosperity in Hedong today; The most reluctant, naturally, expressed his determination to work with everyone to build a beautiful Hedong and realize the emperor's ambition to pacify Western Xia and expand the territory!

The prince's speech was unanimously praised by everyone, and he hurriedly started the last and most important, everyone's most anticipated program - to wash the dust for the new appointment. In the blink of an eye, the meeting hall was transformed into a banquet hall where attendees enjoyed drinks until sunset!

At night, even the sound of drums and midnight, Zhao Ta still couldn't sleep peacefully, he got up in his clothes, came to the table and pushed open the window, the howling cold wind immediately poured in, he seemed to be unconscious and looked up at the stars in the sky with his back hand, he came to this world for more than ten years, he pretended to be a ghost, made waves, worked hard, and worked hard for the arrival of this day, to be able to have 100,000 soldiers, sweep the world, and rejuvenate the Great Song Dynasty!

In order to commemorate this great moment, he stole another poem to describe his mind: Stroke the long sword, and help the world to invite fame. The star flag is raised, and the sun feather is in the sky. Ten thousand horses are all over the field, and Linyuan is stationed in five battalions. Mountaineering and martial arts festivals, backwater and gods. In Xirong, now the universe is flat!
