Chapter 234: A Winner in Life
The person who came to summon Duan Meimei and Xia Xiaogui into the palace was Xu Yongzhi's godbrother-in-law and the first Zhang Dejun of the inner chamberlain.
Zhang Dejun is the biggest winner in recent years.
He changed his name and is now called Wang Jien.
The surnames have all changed.
In fact, it is not a change, this is a return to nature.
He grew up in a poor family, and followed his mother to remarry to the Zhang family, the stepfather of the Zhang family, so he naturally paid more attention to his children.
You can't expect a farmer in Sanjia Village to focus on cultivating his wife and concubine and his ex-husband's son like Cao Cao.
When the child grew up, he had no house and no land.
There is only one way for this kind of child, and that is to go to a metropolis like Bianliang to find opportunities.
Today, we always feel that going to the metropolis is to realize our dreams and want to make a difference, no, Zhang Dejun just wants to make a living.
Fortunately, Zhang Dejun was very sturdy, and he wanted to join the army on the side of the road, but a team of people with bright armor came.
"Pretty tall......
"The body is also strong......
"Would you like to join us?"
"Five times a month, food, housing and clothing are all covered."
It's the same when looking for a job today, with such good conditions, you have to ask about the content of the job, and Zhang Dejun agreed without thinking about it.
Being a soldier is nothing more than a little harder, what else can you do.
When he entered the barracks, he regretted it, and the four men carried him onto a clay kang.
With the knife in hand, Zhang Dejun has been a father-in-law since then.
This is Chai Rong's eunuch guard, so the eunuchs here are actually all martial artists, oh no, they are all martial artists.
Chai Rong hated that kind of sharp eunuch voice, so most of the eunuchs around him were castrated after the age of sixteen or seventeen, and they were much stronger.
This tradition was inherited by the Great Song Dynasty, and until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, eunuchs were proud of being strong and martial, such as Tong Guan, who led the army to attack the Liao State.
After Xu Yongzhi's disappearance, Zhang Dejun made a request with Zhao Kuangyin, hoping to restore his original surname, Zhao Kuangyin thought that Zhang Dejun and Xu Yongzhi had been born and died together in Shanxi, and agreed very happily.
Zhang Dejun changed his name to Wang Jien.
The prince soon made a name for himself.
In the winter of the second year after Xu Yongzhi's disappearance, the imperial court decided to conquer Shu, and Meng Chang retreated to resist the Song army.
Zhao Kuangyin knew that Duan Meimei had been in Yuzhou, so he asked her how to march into the army, Duan Meimei recommended the method of attacking the Qingjiang naval army, Zhao Kuangyin adopted it, and ordered Li Shoujie and Wang Jien to take Xu Yongzhi's team and subordinate to Wang Quanbin.
Duan Meimei came back and asked Li Sigui, who had been transferred back to Bianjing from the position of acting governor of Tanzhou at this time, and was still leading the troops with Li Shoujie in the army.
After listening to this, Li Sigui explained to Duan Meimei: "The official family should be kind. ”
"Wang Gonggong, when the prime minister was there, I am afraid that he could still deter him, now it is difficult to say, he is a person who wants to make meritorious contributions, I am afraid that he will seize power, this soldier's surname is not Xu, I don't care, but so many people in our Shanzitang and the Bow and Arrow Society are in the army to listen to orders, if he exercises the order and causes damage, it will be troublesome, we must protect these tens of thousands of sons, and wait for the prince to come back." Duan Meimei said.
"Madame, don't worry," Li Sigui said, "Wang Jien can't command this forbidden army, although this army is managed by Li Dechen, but in fact, it is directly ordered by the Son of Heaven, and the official family sends an internal servant here, in the final analysis, to prevent Wang Quanbin." ”
Duan Meimei nodded, Wang Quanbin is an expert in grabbing merit, and it is his style to let Xu Jin's soldiers be cannon fodder.
"The official family arranged for his own chamberlain here, Wang Quanbin didn't dare to let our son-in-law go to the innocent to die, the official family is sage."
In the year of the conquest of Houshu, Wang Quanbin was like a bamboo, Li Shoujie led his troops to attack Chengdu, and the Later Shu emperor Meng Chang opened the city and surrendered.
In the past, the war ended here, but unfortunately it wasn't.
Unlike Shanxi, Yangzhou and Lianghu, Lao Cheng's generals are gone.
Murong Yanzhao fell seriously ill and died in the year of Xu Yongzhi's disappearance.
Li Chuyun was demoted because of the conflict with Lao Murong.
If Xu Yongzhi enters Chengdu, everything will be fine, but it's a pity that Wang Quanbin is not enough in mind and pattern.
And Wang Quanbin is particularly short of money.
As we said before, Wang Quanbin rose very slowly, and he only established a festival when he was old, so his desire for money was almost paranoid.
Under the next country, the army is to enforce its own occupier power, and in the five generations, this power is to burn and loot.
Since the Great Song Dynasty considered itself an official army, it was absolutely impossible to indulge the soldiers to do such a thing, so the seizures from the imperial palaces of various official offices became the trophies of the army.
We don't say where to go, in fact, all the seizures are one for the officials, one for the army, and one for the generals and eunuchs.
So this is why the generals like Xu Yongzhi, he has money at home, if he doesn't take his share of the money, the soldiers will have a surplus, and no one can touch Zhao Kuangyin's share, that is, he will save it and prepare to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Xu Yongzhi's high profile is a great blow to his colleagues, and the soldiers always can't help but compare their superiors, and when they hear that Xu Yongzhi's military income is the highest, they will inevitably have ideas.
If it's just a high income, if you ask Xu Yongzhi's soldiers, they will say:
"We are the rulers of the kingdom and take us as brothers."
Especially the soldiers of the Hebei, Lianghu Bow and Arrow Society and the Bianliang Old Infantry Army, they even boasted that Lord Xu's martial arts were tied for the first place in the world, Zhao Guan's gun was the emperor's first, and Lord Xu's sword and gun were the first generals.
How much the soldiers loved Xu Yongzhi, how much Wang Quanbin hated him.
Wang Quanbin also counted on the ransacking of Chengdu to make a fortune.
Therefore, when the Song army entered Chengdu, those who honestly maintained order in the city and stopped the robbery of friendly troops were all Xu Yongzhi's old troops led by Li Shoujie, and all those who robbed were Wang Quanbin's people without exception.
As a result, Wang Quanbin's soldiers encountered hard stubble.
The Sichuan people have the strongest temperament.
Today, when we talk about regional character, we always say that "the land of Yan and Zhao is more generous and sorrowful" and "the three Jin are heroes", and we feel that the people of Henan and Hebei are strong.
In fact, in the troubled times of the five generations, the people in these two places were cut back and forth by the army, and they basically accepted their fate, and they ran away when they saw the soldiers.
On the contrary, it is the people of Shudi, because the mountains and rivers are dangerous, they are less ravaged by the soldiers, and once they are robbed, they will rise when they hear the wind.
"The world is in chaos, Shuzhong is in chaos first, the world is in chaos, and Shuzhong will be in chaos for three years."
No river can not be an army.
The Shu army is a very good mountain army, which is used to conquer the Southern Han and Southern Tang Dynasty, and it can be used in the future, so Zhao Kuangyin decided to recruit these soldiers to Bianliang.
Those who are unwilling to leave home as soldiers will be given two months' food severance pay.
Very good condition, but something went wrong with the person who performed it below.
Wang Quanbin withheld money and food and did not distribute it.
A thousand years later, it seems that this thing is stupid, after all, there were no financial products at that time, and there was no overnight interest.
No one knows what he's thinking.
The labor army funds that Meng Chang took out were actually evenly distributed one to one among the rear army led by Wang Quanbin, the vanguard led by Li Shoujie.
The team was restless that night, and they were all suppressed by Li Shoujie and Wang Jien.
"It's so unfair to make things happen, I'm afraid that something will go wrong." Li Shoujie said.
Wang Jien hurriedly sent back the secret music, but it took time for the official documents to travel back and forth between Shu and Bianliang.
The Shu army reversed in this situation.
They gathered around the old officers and pulled up a team, and Wang Quanbin's appeasement was ineffective.
"How can it be effective," Li Shoujie complained, "His soldiers will first go and kill the family of the leader, snatch the daughter, and then go to Zhao'an, then it is strange that he can recruit him." ”
Wang Quanbin transferred Li Shoujie's team to suppress it, and the soldiers were unwilling to listen to the order because of the distribution of the spoils in the past.
At this time, Wang Quanbin's headquarters suffered heavy losses, and when Zhao Kuangyin's reinforcements and Qin sent to Chengdu, this military rebellion was gradually suppressed.
Wang Quanbin was convicted by the imperial court, and Zhao Puding was beheaded, but Zhao Kuangyin took into account his old merits, so he sent him to Suizhou, Hubei, and deprived him of the position of the envoy of the festival.
Wang Quanbin's generals were all punished, and even Li Shoujie was reprimanded, but Wang Jien became a hero in pacifying the Shu Rebellion because he saved the soldiers and horses and waited for reinforcements.
This made Wang Jien the hottest person in the imperial court, Zhao Kuangyin sent him to Hebei to lead the soldiers for two years, receive training, and then transfer back to listen to the use, the future will be a proper senior military attache such as the head of the capital, the commander of the soldiers and horses.
Today's Wang Ji'en came to deliver the decree, which can be seen to be a major event.
Duan Meimei and Xiaogui hurriedly prepared court clothes and entered the palace.
"Princess." Duan Meimei said.
"What kind of father-in-law is not father-in-law, the two sisters-in-law just call me by name." Wang Jien said.
"But does my father-in-law have any news?" Duan Meimei asked.
"It's really news from my brother," Mr. Wang said, "and it's really good news." ”
Duan Meimei was also confused, especially big news, did she find Xu Yongzhi?
A man with amnesia ate all the chickens of the people in the village, and then the people angrily reported to the official, and after checking, they found that it was the master of the festival.
It's not like this style.
Anyway, let's go and see it first.
"I think the officials may know something, something we don't know." Xiaogui said.
"For example?" Duan Meimei asked.
"It's too complicated for me to guess." Xiaogui said.
The two of them came to the outside of the hall, but found that Queen Song was coming out to greet them.
"The Queen." The two hurriedly saluted.
"The two younger siblings don't need to be polite, today is a good day for your family, just go in and see the official's house." Empress Song smiled.
Both of them felt suspicious, but when Queen Song came to greet her, it was definitely not a conspiracy of Zhao Er, so it was better to go in and listen.
When they entered the hall, they saw Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangmei, the king of Wei, sitting and talking together.
"Two brothers and sisters!" Zhao Kuangyin said excitedly, "I just told King Wei to ask him to go and bring my brother Xu Jin back!" ”
