Chapter 90: Dissidents
Li Lei has been by the prince's side for a long time, and he knows that the prince has always been interested in 'rags', and he actually picked up some leftovers of dogs that his grandmother didn't love his uncle and didn't love, and there were down-and-out officials like Wei Bochu in the distance, and Yang Shi and a group of abandoned ministers in the near future, but these people have become the prince's powerful arms and important staff, so today I saw such a strange person on the battlefield thinking that it might be useful to the prince, so I picked it up.
"Well, this person may be useful, invite him back to Texas, and I'll talk to him when I have time!" Zhao Ta nodded and said, he had always thought that the famous saying 'the enemy of the enemy is a friend' still made sense, and this person was locked in a prison car, indicating that he must be a felon. This kind of felons were caught and not disposed of by Wan Yan Xian, but were detained with the army, which means that he has no right to deal with this person. But what Jin Guozhong can't handle with people of this status can't handle, it's not an important minister of the clan, or it's a big deal!
"Yes, Boss, I will take good care of him!" Li Lei saw that the prince used the word 'please', and knew that this person had already attracted the attention of the prince, and replied very sensibly.
"Well, don't treat him badly in life, but restrict his freedom, don't let outsiders know about it, and you can secretly investigate this person's name, origin and identity, so you can deal with it!" Zhao Ta instructed Li Lei two more sentences.
Although the Jin army was defeated for a hundred miles, but Zhao Ta did not dare to be careless, this mountain pass is not only a passage to march, but also the lifeline of the Kryu army, supplies sent from Taiyuan, weapons and equipment need to enter from here, if it is lost, it will be detoured for a hundred miles, he personally surveyed the terrain, selected several dangerous passes, built a fortress, and built a complete field fortification. Leaving three battalions of men and horses to garrison, and then quietly returned to Texas City.
Meanwhile. The battle situation changed again, and the Jin army, which had retreated to Dongshengzhou, also met the Xia army that came to Liao's aid on the way. The two armies inevitably fought another battle, and the Jin army, which was defeated by the Texas army, actually fought with the Xia army on a par and formed a confrontation, but it was definitely impossible to enter Xijing for the time being; On the way, Wanyan Zonghan's troops from Bei'an Prefecture learned that Wanyan Xian was also defeated, and he could not complete his plan to attack Xijing, so he could only go alone. Wanyan Zonghan immediately felt the pressure, and hesitantly learned that Geng Shouzhong, the envoy of the Liao Zhangguo Army, had led 7,000 Liao troops from Yingzhou to reinforce and had entered Datong. At this time, the strength of the Liao army in Xijing increased greatly. They have lost the best opportunity to regain Xijing again, so they can only garrison the Naturalized Prefecture to report to the emperor of Zhongjing, and wait for instructions on their next move...
Zhao Ta returned to Dezhou City, Li Lei basically found out what he confessed, the old man who was rescued in the defeated army that day was indeed not a simple person, he was famous in both Liao and Jin countries - the famous Jin anti-government exile A Shu!
Ah Shu only admits that he is a Jurchen, but does not admit that he is a native of the Jin State, he is from the same Jurchen Sushi Lie Division, and his father was a chieftain during the Jurchen rule during the Boli impeachment. He succeeded his father and became the chief of the Shoshi Liebu. The Sushi Department is very close to the Wanyan Ministry, and Ah Shu was very good with the brothers of the Wanyan family in his childhood, and after inheriting the position of chieftain, he defeated the competition of the Tushan Buryan Gang with the help of Wanyan Po Rashu. Successfully became the minister of the tribe, it is said that the relationship between the two ministries should be good, but with the change of Brother Ying of the Wanyan tribe after inheriting the patriarch of the Jurchen Tribal Alliance.
After Yingge succeeded him. Implement the policy of appeasement of external compromise and internal repression. And he likes Yiyantang, which led to Ah Shu's dissatisfaction. He rebelled with Mao Jianlu Bojin in the same department and opposed the dictatorship of Wanyan Yingge. But the chess was a bad move, and Brother Ying took the other two cities of the Sushi Lie Department in the name of rescuing the Liao Eagle Catcher, and the leader of the Su Shilie Department, Mao Jianlu, who was severely hit, surrendered immediately, but the other leader, A Shu, hid in the Liao State.
Ah Shu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he immediately complained to the emperor of Liao, that is, Yelu Hongji, probably meaning that Yingge is using the excuse of helping you open up the Eagle Road, taking the opportunity to expand his power, constantly annexing other tribes, and will definitely rebel in the future. Although Ah Shu's complaint is to add fuel and vinegar, and it also gets to the point, but just caught up with a thing that is more sober and less when he is confused, and naturally there is no follow-up.
But Ah Shu was not discouraged, and followed the Yan Department to the end, so he sent his protégé Da Ji to the Lazy Dian Department to instigate, trying to create chaos in the Lazy Dianbu, in order to achieve the purpose of framing Yingge, the Lazy Dianbu's method of treating Da Ji is very direct, that is, to insist on sending it to the Wanyan Department. Ah Shu's plan went bankrupt again, and he never dared to return to the territory of the Jurchen Ministry. But in Liao, he still did not give up his dream, or constantly against Wanyan, from Yelu Hongji to Yelu Yanxi, he never stopped attacking Wanyan, but the old and young Yelu trusted Yingge very much, so his efforts failed again and again.
And Wanyan Bu, from Yingge to Po Rashu to Wu Yashu, all hated this person to the core, and asked Liao for it several times, but because of the protection of Liao, there was no way to take him. Thinking about it, it is impossible for Liao to return it to them, that would lose the absolute right to speak for many years. So I won't give it back to you, and even have to raise him and nurture him to make Ah Shu a dissident in the Jurchen Ministry.
Under the protection of the Liao State, Ah Shu lived a very comfortable life, but the good times did not last long, after the Wanyan Department completed the integration of the Jurchen tribes, Ah Guda took the throne and played the banner of rebellion against the Liao State, and took the return of Ah Shu as the biggest excuse to fight with the Liao State every time. And Ah Shu is determined not to return to the Jurchen tribe to cooperate with Ah Guta, and is willing to assist the Liao State to continue to engage in the anti-Jin struggle.
Ah Shuman thought that he could spend his old age in Liao with the protection of Yelu Yanxi, but he didn't expect to lose his calculation when he was old, and the Jin State occupied most of the land of Liao like a devastating state, and he also followed Yelu Yanxi to hide everywhere and really lived a life of exile. But this time the Jin soldiers chased him tightly, and Yelu Yanxi himself was difficult to protect, so he naturally couldn't take care of him, and Wan Yan Xian, who was following, was also caught, ready to send him to Ah Guta for disposal, but people were not as good as heaven, and he was captured by the Texas army...
Knowing that he had picked up the leak again, Zhao Ta could really laugh in his dreams. Thinking about it, the world world at this time is actually no different from the political world of the world today, it is all a routine. What superpower doesn't keep such a few politically persecuted 'defectors', who are free-range when they have nothing to do, and when they are needed, they will pull them out and let them make a speech, make a statement, expose the darkness of their opponents, and beat the disobedient 'bad boys'. If necessary, they will also give money and guns to escort him back under the banner of 'democracy' to let him launch a 'mass' rebellion, and if it doesn't work, he can directly send troops to help him overthrow the current regime under the banner of protecting the expatriates and preventing humanitarian disasters, and then push him to the foreground to establish a puppet regime to safeguard his own interests.
Although this Ah Shu is already an outdated hero, after all, he once ruled one side and was a prince, and because he has been engaged in the anti-Jin struggle for many years, he has become a famous dissident, with a great reputation and appeal, and there is a group of brothers who have shared hardships under his hands, and a ready-made government team. The most important thing is that he is familiar with the geography, understands the local social conditions, and has a deep hatred for Wanyanbu, and has his own firm political beliefs, so he is the best candidate to engage in this kind of subversive work.
After returning to Texas, Zhao immediately took advantage of this period of 'peace' and the aftermath of the victory over the Jin Army to begin a vigorous army reorganization and land reform movement in Texas, and his identity was also 'seeing the light and dying', so he could only engage in 'guidance' work behind the scenes. The scope of his activities is also limited to the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, but in this courtyard that covers an area of no more than 100 acres, there are three big guys, one needless to say is Zhao Ta, the prince of the Great Song Dynasty; One is the 'old' householder, the famous traitor of the Liao State, Yelu Yuxuan, and the other is the newly settled Jurchen traitor A Shu. It can be said that none of these three are 'good birds', they are all rebels of this era!
There are three courtyards in the backyard, separated from each other by roads, and they are not connected to each other. Zhao Ta lives in the east courtyard, which is connected to the outside corner gate for easy access, he is actually the actual ruler of this city, who dares to 'lock' him. The courtyard in the middle was originally Qiao Kun's residence, and now that the prince is here, how dare he still live in it, so he quickly moved out, it was empty a few days ago, and after Ah Shu came, he arranged for him to live in. The West Courtyard is the honorary city lord of Dezhou City, Yelu Yuxuan, he has been imprisoned here since he was captured, practicing calligraphy every day, reading books, and sometimes signing a document, he does not read the contents, nor does he ask, he is very self-aware, but also at ease.
After Zhao Ta moved in, the guards took over the security work here, and even Zhao Yong and Qiao Kun were not allowed to come and go at will. He didn't take the initiative to visit the two neighbors, and there was no way for others to enter his yard, but the three of them had a common hobby, that is, they liked to walk early, and the only suitable place in the backyard was the back garden of the house, and the three of them inevitably met here.
In the first few days, none of the three people who knew each other paid attention to anyone, not that they wanted to wait for the other party to speak first, but that they understood that the people who could live here were not simple people, and there were inseparable people around them. The two people who followed Yelu Yu's side, one was a long-time bodyguard, who also came in after being captured, and the other didn't need to ask about the eyeliner sent by the city lord's mansion; Ah Shu's side is also like this, one is a clansman who has followed him to rebel for many years, and the other is a person from the Fuli faction; Zhao Ta was even more amazing, there were four people behind his buttocks, and he was carrying weapons, so that the other two people only felt that this kid was young but had committed a big crime, and he was armed to accompany him every day, so he walked around when he saw him, not wanting to intersect with him, lest he get into trouble. And Zhao Ta also wanted to observe the next two people, and did not take the initiative to talk... (To be continued.) )
