Chapter 15 Position Arrangements
(Fourth Update!) Very boring chapter! Ask for recommendations, ask for collections, and friends who think it is appropriate, please give us some support. Thank you! )
It is already May when I return to Jiangdu in the white night, the world is full of fragrant flowers, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.
The seasons turn, and it is the summer of the year, all things are green and lush, not like the vitality of spring, and there is a sense of youth and fiery spirit.
In May, a lot of things happened, Li Yuan took a step to become emperor in Chang'an, he deposed Yang Yu, changed the name of the country to Tang, made Li Jiancheng the crown prince, named Li Shimin the king of Qin, and named Li Yuanji the king of Qi.
The kingdom that has been praised by later generations as almost a dream has finally appeared in this world.
However, will the Tang Dynasty, which is desirable and heartbreaking, still be like history? The rule of Zhenguan, the prosperous era of Kaiyuan, will really appear in this different time and space?
When others called the king and the emperor, Bai Ye's army swept the surrounding area in three ways, and the army was actually not much, only six divisions and more than 60,000 people.
marched all the way to the east, killed Li Zitong, marched all the way to the southwest, killed Fu Gongyou, beat Du Fuwei and fled in embarrassment, occupied the two counties of Danyang and Liyang, and left all the way to the southeast to attack, Shen Faxing was defeated by the benefits of artillery fire, so he had to flee further south.
The White Night Force did not raise a banner, did not say its name, and swallowed the meat in its mouth silently as if it were nameless.
Limited to the lack of administrative staff, Bai Ye's expansion has ended here, and the territory he occupies is not large, compared to the big forces of all parties, it is simply insignificant, and he does not let it go at all.
However, this small force still attracted the attention of many parties, because it was so fierce that it swept away several forces in the Jianghuai Valley, especially Du Fuwei, the Jianghuai army, who was defeated and retreated by this army.
Their weapons are different from those of this era, not swords, guns and halberds, but strange fire-breathing things, which arouse the slightest interest from these forces.
However, it is only a little bit, this world is different from historical time and space, all forces and martial arts sects are connected to each other, they have developed great momentum and fame, if someone builds momentum for them, then it will get twice the result with half the effort, so some of them have long played the banner, and even sought help from the demon sect and the righteous path.
A small point like the White Night Force, which has neither a vast territory nor a reputation, and has not heard of the support of a master, is destined to be annihilated by the flames of war.
Moreover, at this time, it is said that the He clan has been born, and the righteous path heirs want to choose the lord of the world for him, and the eyes of all parties are focused here, who will investigate a guy who is in a corner of peace?
For example, today, looking at the earth, in the eyes of people of insight, there are only two most promising places to win the position of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, one is Li Mi, the other is Li Valve, and the rest of the families are difficult to become a climate.
Bai Ye and his party of four arrived in Jiangdu, Lu Miaozi and Shi Zhixuan had traveled to Yangzhou in their early years, but found that Yangzhou at this time was very different from previous years.
Those once prosperous, romantic and criminal coexist, blatant green buildings have been seized, boxes of various shapes have been set up on the roadside, there are craftsmen building houses on both sides of the road, there are people on the street to explain what to do, and there are no beggars and homeless people on the streets, there are very few children, and there are no children between the ages of seven and sixteen.
Among the pedestrians who came and went, the poor with vegetables on their faces and lacked nutrition were more happy, while the people with shrunken faces and rich bodies were sad and sighed.
Lu Miaozi and Shi Zhixuan are very strange, Shi Qingxuan covers her face with a scarf, and her eyes are also radiant.
Bai Ye didn't explain to the three of them, and took the three of them to the original Bamboo Flower Gang's station, which has now become the office of the Yangzhou government of the White Night Force, with strict security and guards, and tokens are required to enter and exit.
Bai Ye showed his identity token before entering, registered at the guard's office, and secured several people, so he and the three of them entered the office.
This was a very ordinary thing, but in the eyes of Shi Zhixuan, Lu Miaozi and Shi Qingxuan, seeing Bai Ye politely show his identity token and register for them, the light in his eyes flickered.
Entering the courtyard, there is a peach tree with lush foliage, these fruit trees planted a long time ago, this time with the season to sprout again, under the green leaves hidden green peaches.
Just getting started, Bai Ye met two characters he hadn't seen for months, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had already returned.
The two looked up and saw the white night, and were pleasantly surprised, since the mobilization of troops in recent months, a group of them found that the administration and military affairs were far from being as simple as they imagined, and they were at a loss for many things.
Now that Bai Ye came back, like seeing a savior, he almost rushed over and hugged Bai Ye's thigh and cried.
"Teacher, are you back?"
Kou Zhong looked excited, and rushed over, his skill was high, and in just a few months, he had almost reached the realm of a first-class master.
The muscles on his resolute face trembled, and in the past few months, he met Fu Junwu, Su Su, Shan Wanjing, Shen Luoyan, Yun Yuzhen, Song Yuzhi, and Li Xiuning, the noble daughter of Li Valve, who made him reluctant to give up and hoped to accompany him in this life.
However, King Xiang has a dream, the goddess is ruthless, and a young man's heart is crushed by that identity and family history.
A noble daughter who is one of the four major gates, and an orphan and poor person who was born in the market and no one asks, in the eyes of others, how can she be qualified and why should she climb high?
He was indignant at the time, and almost said that we are no worse than you, our teacher is unparalleled in the world, and our power army is stronger than you.
But he didn't want to cause trouble for Bai Ye and his classmates and brothers, so he endured it.
Not only him, but even Xu Ziling, perhaps being looked down upon and underestimated in the original book inspired them to compete for the world and vow to compete for Kyushu's ambition.
"I'm back, I'm going out, do you have any thoughts?"
Bai Ye said with a smile, he let the two of them out, because the martial arts of the two were too low, would the protagonist really have heavenly help after experimenting? It's a pity that the whole plot was made a mess by him, and he experimented with a fart.
Xu Ziling stepped forward and Kou Zhong side by side, opening his mouth to speak, Bai Ye interrupted: "Let's talk about it first, I still have a few guests with me." ”
Bai Ye and his party entered the house with Shuanglong, everyone didn't press any hosts and guests, they sat away at will, and someone brought tea to a few people.
The fragrance of tea in the house is overflowing, Lu Miaozi, Shi Zhixuan and Shi Qingxuan are all tasting tea, and this natural and fresh breath is even more popular with Shi Qingxuan.
Bai Ye and Ssangyong sat across from each other, and he made a look, and Ssangyong talked about what they had felt along the way.
Not to mention the progress of martial arts, not to mention how many high-rollers and beauties he has encountered, Kou Zhong said: "Teacher, in the past few months, Ling Shao and I have traveled to a lot of places, what I see is that when the war is raging today, those forces and warlords don't treat people as human beings at all, they only care about fighting for territory, claiming the king and hegemony, and have long forgotten the purpose of the uprising, they overthrew Yang Guangsui, but they just built another Great Sui that belongs to them." ”
Kou Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "I saw Du Fuwei's army burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, even more so than the Sui army. A group of people in Wagangzhai Li Mi are also tigers and wolves, and in order to compete for power and profit, they collude with other foreigners. Li Shimin, the second son of Li Valve in Guanzhong, is very arrogant, and his courage and strategy are all praised, but he is the same as those family lords, although he does not show a clear eye, but he looks down on the common people. ”
Bai Ye nodded, he smiled, what Kou Zhong said was true, it was very consistent with the various uprisings and rebellions in Chinese history, since Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, those who shouted slogans to revolt and wanted to overthrow the dynasty were a group of goods, he naturally knew. Those gate valve clans, the children of everyone, in essence, will not look down on ordinary people, and Li Shimin is the same.
Even though Li Shimin is an emperor through the ages, during his reign, he has done good things for the country and the people, but from his position, he wants the Li royal family to be prosperous and the foundation will be immortal.
Children of the family, how can they be so great? How can there be a true saint in the world?
Bai Ye himself admits that he is not a selfless person, but he needs something different from ordinary people.
Ordinary people pursue beauty and wealth, generals pursue power and fame, emperors pursue kings and hegemony, and white nights seek the wisdom of all beings.
After Kou Zhong finished speaking, Xu Ziling spoke, he was different from Kou Zhong, he studied administrative management, and saw the problem more profoundly, he said: "Teacher, I saw that the displaced people were miserable all the way, and many families were ruined, starved to death, and froze to death. I wonder how a dynasty would collapse to this point? Combined with the knowledge you have given us over the years, I have a little understanding. ”
"As Zhong Shao said, the clan gate lord is high, and the royal family is also one of them, but it stands higher and has more power than other families. These clans, large and small, constitute the ruling class of the country. They have their own demands and interests, and in their hearts, there are no tens of millions of people, no country, only home. They are born rich and noble, and they look down on the common people, so naturally they will not think from our point of view, and their interests will not have anything in common with us, according to the teacher once said, 'they are vested interests, and only when they are full will they give me a bone and a mouthful of leftover soup', so they monopolize knowledge, talents, and power, and constitute a huge ruling class. ”
Lu Miaozi and Shi Zhixuan stared at Xu Ziling, their faces were shocked, such a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy actually said such a thing.
Xu Ziling continued: "Yang Guang's third expedition to Goryeo failed, and the country was shattered to this point, is it really just Yang Guang's fault? He certainly buried the lives of millions of people and families, but without those family lords and ambitious people, would this happen? Therefore, what the teacher taught us is correct, to break the gate valve clan and sweep them all into the garbage heap, the country is not theirs, but everyone. Dare to have a blocker, kill! ”
Xu Ziling has always been gentle and reasonable, with the demeanor of a scholar, and coldly spit out the word "kill" from his mouth, but you can imagine what he has known and heard in the past few months, and how stimulated he has been.
After Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling finished speaking, Bai Ye glanced at them and said softly: "Ziling, go and participate in the administration, this is the evil king who moves the world, he will follow you to study for a while." ”
Bai Ye turned his head to look at Shi Zhixuan again, of course Shi Zhixuan understood what Bai Ye meant, he smiled and said, "Okay!" ”
After Bai Ye heard this, he smiled and said, "Kou Zhong is going to serve in the army, you think you can start from wherever you can do now." Don't be ambitious, and you don't need to start from the bottom. ”
Kou Zhong replied, his thick eyebrows furrowing with joy.
"Old man Lu will go to the base with me, you have to study first. Qing Xuan follow me, too! ”
Bai Yefu looked at Lu Miaozi and Shi Qingxuan, the two of them had no objection and nodded.
Bai Ye smiled, feeling that Shi Zhixuan and Lu Miaozi were really masters, he asked the two of them to learn from a group of juniors first, if there were some "masters", maybe they would pick their sons and leave on the spot, and they would think, "I am a top talent, I need to learn, I need to understand, you can directly arrange me to an important position." ”
These popularity festivals may be noble, but ability, not necessarily.
