Chapter 376: The Seventeenth Mission: Zhaozong Returns to the Tang Dynasty 18

Perhaps because Lu Renbing established the central authority in time in this era, when Lu Renbing's army advanced north from Jiaozhou, the resistance of these separatist forces in the south was very weak.

Now Lingnan has not been fully developed, the hot climate, rampant epidemics and miasma, and many undisciplined savages, barbarians, from time to time to jump back, kill a court official or something, it is not a problem at all. Therefore, the envoys of the festival and the defense envoys who came here are actually regarded as drudgery, which is like distribution.

Therefore, Lu Renbing's Lingnan strategy is to give priority to politics, and a lot of the holy decrees of transfer are all promoted to the center, and the lowest is a deputy prime minister or something.

As for whether the center has so many positions, alas, which of the Jiedu envoys who are outside now, who does not hang up with the military affairs of the same Pingzhang, adds a captain of the school, and a servant or something, how can he be embarrassed to greet people.

The country is so big, there are so many things, and it is very reasonable to have hundreds of prime ministers, right!

Anyway, what Lu Renbing is doing now is to sell the business of the official mantle. Sell more officials in Chang'an, and you can change the real land, which is still very cost-effective.

This strategy is very effective, especially for those who are born as civil officials and jinshi, and are envoys of moderation, defense, and observation. For example, Yongzhou, which was close to Jiaozhou, Pang Juzhao, the Rongzhou observation envoy, and the defense envoy, happily handed over the territory and the thousands of troops and went back to Chang'an. Later, the southern part of Guangxi was returned to the imperial court.

It is even more interesting to advance further north, Zhou Yuanjing, the envoy of the Jingjiang army, was just attacked and killed by Liu Shizheng, the command room of Anzhou, and Jiasheng, the defense envoy, and then Liu Shizheng sent someone to kill Jiasheng, and was about to take over, a chaotic Jingjiang army.

As a result, the imperial army arrived, and the staff department, which was good at micro-manipulation, together with Dongchang Jinyiwei, took over the Jingjiang army first, and sent out a reward, and soon there were greedy generals who sent Liu Shizheng's head.

However, it saved the edicts of several prime ministers and lieutenants of Lu Renbing.

In this era, there were attacks and killings everywhere, and conspiracy was also the reason why many civil officials in remote states and counties were overjoyed after receiving the recall edict.

A numb, a broken place in the poor countryside, when you are a festival envoy, you may not know when, you will be taken off by your peers or subordinates. Why bother, isn't it good to go back to Chang'an to brag and make poetry?

Guangxi went down in one go, and the imperial army advanced into Guangzhou. At this time, the envoy of Guangzhou Jiedu was the heir of the Xue King Li Zhirou appointed by the imperial court, he was a coward, and he was almost rejected by the generals of Duanzhou and Zhaoqing. It was also Liu Yin, the actual ruler of Guangzhou, who sent troops to welcome Guangzhou.

On the surface, this Liu Yin is loyal to the imperial court and a good official. In fact, this local strong in Lingnan has long had a heart of separation. For any surrounding forces that try to enter Guangdong, they will always fight back hard.

Lu Renbing's army, when he entered Guangzhou, was attacked by Liu Yin, but unfortunately, this time he kicked the iron plate. His little soldiers and horses, in the face of the imperial army, armed to the teeth, did not even make a decent attack, and collapsed. This is still the case when he occupies a key place in advance to set up an ambush.

The naval army with hundreds of warships, which he had worked so hard to accumulate, was blocked in the dock by the huge ship sent by Lu Renbing from Jiaozhou before he could set it off.

The Jiangnan strategy was formulated by a bunch of bad water in the capital, plus a bunch of elite brains cultivated by Lu Renbing, who pondered for two or three years. For this strategy, Jinyiwei and Dongchang sent out countless spies and sent a map of the pass to the center, which was more detailed than the local military leaders.

This level of war is overwhelming.

Therefore, Liu Yin, the founder of the Southern Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties, became a collection in the small black house of Chang'an before he had time to display his ambitions.

The biggest obstacle to the Jiangnan raiders is actually in Fujian, Wang Chao's brothers have pacified the entire Fujian, after Wang Chao's death last year, he passed the Fujian land to the capable brother Wang Zhenzhi.

Historically, the king of the Emperor selected the virtuous to reduce the criminal law, reduce the forced labor, reduce the tax, so that the people could recuperate, so that the economy and culture of Fujian have been greatly developed, and try to avoid war, and maintain tributary relations with the Central Plains Dynasty, after his death, he was respected as the holy king of Fujian.

Fortunately, the Wang brothers have pacified Fujian, and the foundation has not yet been solid, and there is no great Min country decades later.

The timing of Lu Renbing's army was just right. Wang Zhenzhi has just inherited his brother's position, but in fact, he is not stable internally. But the generals who were killed with a knife and a shot were not willing to hand over the power in their hands easily.

Therefore, the envoy sent by Lu Renbing was driven back by Wang Zhenzhi. Chang'an is far away from Fu, and the state is far away from thousands of mountains and rivers, which can be regarded as the emperor who is high in the sky, and Wang Zhenzhi feels that he has the ability to make a wave with the imperial court.

He gathered an army of 70,000 and began to meet the 30,000 troops of the imperial court who came from Guangdong. It's a pity that he is facing more than just an army of 30,000 on the surface. There are also spies from Jinyi Weidong Factory all over Fujian.

As soon as Wang Shenzhi and his army arrived at the border of Fujian and Guangdong, the stupid sons of his brother Wang Chao in Fuzhou City were rebelled by the imperial court. Food, grass and ordnance for the army were seized. The mountain people and local warlords who had just been subdued by the Wang brothers in various places began to rebel again.

Wang Zhenzhi still wanted to bite the bullet and fight with the imperial army, and then return to the division to quell the civil strife.

It's a pity that he overestimated his control over the army, and the wave of bad water led by Lu Renbing was too bad. The pervasive Dongchang, the brocade guards, all with a stack of names and a blank column of their names, scurried around in Wang Shenzhi's army. The minimum of these confessions is also the starting point of the fourth grade, all of which have been approved by Lu Renbing's grace, and the formal confession of the official seal has been stamped, and even the official defense seal has been made, and there is no need to go to Chang'an to sign it, and it can take effect without paying money.

For this reason, Lu Renbing felt that he had made a lot of money, and he had lost at least millions of yuan. Well, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, he Lu Renbing can only sacrifice this benefit.

Well, so it is not uncommon for Wang Zhenzhi to be tied up by a group of subordinates and sent to the camp of the imperial army to plead guilty.

In fact, if it weren't for the person named by the emperor to ask the king to judge, the generals would be more willing to chop off his head for credit. Wang Xianzhi, who led the troops thousands of miles to send the heads of the field, was obviously very unconvinced. But it can't be helped. The emperor who holds the name of orthodoxy has this ability.

No matter how weak the Tang Dynasty is, it has ruled this land for more than 200 years, and the authority of the royal family is far from being replaced by a self-made army leader with an uncertain future like Wang Shenzhi.

With a big stick and carrots, plus gold yuan and black gauze hats, no big-headed soldier can resist. Jie Du envoys, lords or something, the soldiers and generals of our feudal towns have killed too much. Don't care about one or two.
