Chapter IV Talks on behalf of the county
readx;?? The situation of the Mo family made Zhang Jiashi feel a little embarrassed, because in the late Warring States period, even if the Mo family was divided into several factions, it was better than the current Mo family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info(.. (Starter)
I have to say that after more than ten years of suppression, the remnants of the Mo family who cowered in the Taihang Mountains have lost their demeanor.
This kind of thing is a good thing for Zhang Jiashi.
As for the fact that he took in the Mo family, it is impossible for Ying Zheng not to know, but since the other party has not reacted until now, it will show that Ying Zheng is only open and blind to this situation, as long as the Mo family does not do anything to challenge Ying Zheng's bottom line, Ying Zheng will acquiesce to the fact that the Mo family is under his command.
Since even Yingzheng acquiesced in such an act, even if others wanted to attack him with such a question, I am afraid that there would be no practical result.
Compared with this, Zhang Jiashi had to ask Xiao He to apply for rations for the thousands of people in Momen when he mobilized the local grain stocks, which was the problem that Zhang Jiashi felt helpless.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
On April 23, 211 B.C., after a long march, Zhang Jiashi's division followed the Northern Frontier Road and arrived at Daijun, which would be placed under his control.
Pang Chao, the county guard of Daijun, is said to be a descendant of Pang Juan, a famous general of Wei. Although it is said that he himself was born in a famous family, Pang Chao and the Northern Xinjiang Army that rushed to Dai County one after another, the two major captains, Su Jiao and the two of them, rushed to the temporary camp of Zhang Jiashi's headquarters stationed outside the city after Zhang Jiashi's troops arrived in Dai County, which was located in the northwest of the Wei County region of Hebei Province in the later generations, and met Zhang Jiashi.
Regarding the visit of the three main generals under his command, Zhang Jiashi did not rely on his identity and did something impolite.
He quickly sent a few guards and invited Pang Chao, Su Jiao and the three of them to his military tent.
"Under the rank of Pang Chao/Su Jiao/, I have seen General Zuo. ”
After the three of them entered the camp tent, they clasped their fists at Zhang Jiashi.
"Pang Junshou, Captain Su and Captain Su don't need to be polite. General Ben still has a lot to rely on in the future. Zhang Jiashi smiled and said this to the three of them.
"General Zuo said seriously, this is a matter within the scope of his office. The three of them clasped their fists at Zhang Jiashi again.
After the two sides said these polite words, Zhang Jiashi asked Pang Chao, who was the most advanced in the position of military attaché: "Pang Junshou, I don't know the situation in Youbeiping, what has become now?"
Pang Chao, who had just returned to the team, came out again: "Report to the general, according to the statistics of the officials who were transferred to Youbeiping and attacked, the Great Wall of Youbeiping suffered considerable damage in many areas during this plundering by the Donghu people. If it weren't for the relatively short attack of the Donghu people and the lack of a considerable number of communist troops, the extent of destruction in the Great Wall area would have been even greater. ”
The construction of the Great Wall is difficult, but it does not mean that the Donghu people will not destroy the Great Wall.
Zhang Jiashi nodded, and then continued to ask: "Pang Junshou, what is the loss of the area that was plundered by the Invaders in Beiping?"
Pang Chao didn't expect Zhang Jiashi to ask about this, but Pang Chao, who had a certain understanding of the situation in Youbeiping, said to Zhang Jiashi after coming back to his senses: "Report to the general, the relocated settlements near the Great Wall were almost plundered by the Donghu people, and some residents who did not retreat into the city also suffered quite heavy losses. ”
When Zhang Jiashi heard this, he silently smiled bitterly and shook his head.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the Donghu people stayed in the northern area of Youbeiping County for a short time, I am afraid that the news he could get from Pang Chao's mouth would have been even more miserable.
With the Donghu people in the Great Wall as the boundary of the right Beiping, the northern area can be said to be quite vast and sparsely populated. This is also one of the situations in which the Donghu people went south this time and broke through the interception of the Great Wall, and the losses suffered by Youbeiping County were relatively small.
Of course, it is inevitable that the Great Wall in the area will be repaired.
Zhang Jiashi then thought of a very serious matter for him: "Pang Junshou, according to your opinion, what is the main reason for the Donghu people to plunder the border this time?"
Pang Chao shook his head slightly, because there were quite a few causes of this situation.
It is true that there were no large-scale wars between the Donghu people and the Great Qin, but small-scale invasions and Koubian operations of about 50,000 people, even during the Yan period, were quite frequent.
This is also one of the main reasons why Yan and Zhao will build the Great Wall.
Although the Yan Kingdom had a glorious victory similar to Meng Tian's in the Hetao area, it broke the Liaohe Plain area of the Donghu people in later generations. However, the Donghu people's attacks could not be effectively resisted at all.
In this case, the Great Wall of Yan protected the most important area of Yan at that time, and was not directly attacked by the other side by the Koubian actions of the Donghu people.
As for the border between the Donghu people and the Yan State in eastern Liaodong and western Liaoning, it was completely a small fight every three days, and a medium-sized armed conflict every five days.
Therefore, Liaodong and Liaoxi County have not been well developed, barren and bitter cold is a factor, often infiltrated by the Donghu people on a small scale, and the lack of peace is also a very important factor.
After Yan and Daqin took over Liaodong and Liaoxi, they did not carry out large-scale recruitment of displaced people to go to Liaodong and Liaoxi, but unfortunately, because of the existence of the Donghu people, even if such a policy is quite good, there are few responders.
......
For Liaodong and Liaoxi, except in the mid-to-late eighteenth century, when a large number of peasants under the Qing dynasty went bankrupt and were able to form an immigration boom to what later became known as "Chuang Guandong", the other dynasties received very few responses in this regard.
Well, the Song Dynasty was the most exceptional case, because as a dynasty, the Song Dynasty was the only one that did not get the Liaodong region.
It can be seen that the development of eastern and western Liaodong is restricted by many factors, not that no one can realize the wealth of this place.
Among the seven counties under Zhang Jiashi's current jurisdiction, Guangyang County, which is the core area of Yan Kingdom, has a large population and a well-developed local area. But in Zhang Jiashi's heart, Guangyang County is not the area he thinks is the most important, but Liaoxi and Liaodong County, and now Jizi Korea, will be a pretty good rear.
With the current cheating ability, Zhang Jiashi does not seem to need to worry too much, in the troubled times a few years later, the rear of the three regions of Liaoxi, Liaodong and North Korea will be harassed by people from the Shandong Peninsula and from the sea.
It can be said that once Liaoxi, Liaodong and North Korea are developed, in many senses, even the well-developed Guanzhong Plain can be compared.
If we talk about the total production capacity of the same level of development, it will not be too difficult for the Liaohe Plain to shake off the middle plain.
It can be said that the Liaohe Plain area is a real treasure land.
Compared with the upper reaches of the river in the Chengdu Plain, as well as the Weishuijing River and the river in the Guanzhong Plain, the Liao River can be said to be quite peaceful.
At the very least, Zhang Jiashi had never heard of a once-in-a-millennium flood in the Liaohe River.
However, in order to consolidate and develop Liaodong and Liaoxi counties, which are mainly in the Liaohe Plain, there must be a problem that needs to be solved. That is to greatly weaken the strength of the Donghu people, and even drive the other party directly into the mountains, so that the other party will continue to nest in the mountains and be their Tunguska.
The meaning of the name Donghu is to include Tonggu.
In a sense, the harm of the Xiongnu to the Central Plains Dynasty was far less serious than that of the Donghu people.
Because the Xianbei, Khitan, and Jurchen of later generations can be said to be directly or indirectly, inherited from Donghu.
It is conceivable that in terms of the survival ability of nomadic people, Donghu can be said to be the only existence in history that can be compared with the Qiang and Miao people.
Under this premise, Zhang Jiashi knew very well that he didn't want any Jurchen invincible remarks in the future, and it was best to let Donghu, a loose national alliance, turn into the dust of history.
......
Zhang Jiashi thought for a while, looked deeply at the expert who was known as the battle against Donghu, and after a while of acting as the county guard Pang Chao, he stood up respectfully and waved at the other party:
"Pang Junshou, General Ben sincerely asks you for advice on how to deal with Donghu. ”
Pang Chao hurriedly said: "General, this move is a distraction, if you can serve the general, you will not let it go." ”
Zhang Jiashi then said: "In this way, I hope that Pang Junshou will not hesitate to give advice." ”
Pang Chao did not hide his secrets, but almost poured out his experience gained as a substitute county guard and several battles with Donghu.
Zhang Jiashi listened to Pang Chao's explanation and summed up the four-point combat method against Donghu.
First: Although the Donghu people have the existence of the Donghu king, their social structure is more loose than that of the Xiongnu, which means that the Donghu people did not invade on a large scale, and the most important thing is that I am afraid that even the Donghu king cannot be summoned, and it is very likely that the various tribes that are only nominally obeyed by him.
Perhaps, like the battle of Qin Kai, a famous general of Yan State, who defeated Donghu in one fell swoop, it is difficult to replicate it at this time.
Bai Qi also added that in the war that was defeated by Maudun a few years later due to negligence, there is no evidence that the Huns had fought against the Donghu people on a large scale.
"It is very likely that Mao Dun did not take the opportunity to go south to the Central Plains at that time, because he and Donghu fell into the vicious circle of fighting for each other, and when Mao Dun made the matter a foregone conclusion, Liu Bang also unified the Central Plains. In a few years of stalemate, Liu Bang, who suffered a lot, finally staged a scene of the siege of Baishan. ”
Bai Qi's words made Zhang Jiashi nod slightly, because Donghu's strength was much stronger than that of the Huns, who had not fully recovered. Even if Mao Dun was caught off guard by Donghu, the vast area of the Donghu people and the loose tribes made Mao Dun have to spend more time and lose the best opportunity to intervene in the chaos in the Central Plains.
Second, it is a derivative problem of the first, that is, unlike the Xiongnu, the Donghu people once tried to attack the Great Wall in different areas, almost simultaneously, on a small scale, which was still under construction at that time.
After some of the county soldiers were mobilized, they found that there were Donghu people in the original garrison area, and they had to turn back to defend against the enemy.
This behavior of the other party may be unorganized, but a coincidental attack between several tribes.
Compared with a large-scale invasion, such a scattered attack caused a headache for the garrison troops stationed in the border area.
And Bai Qi said something that made Zhang Jiashi have to think deeply: "Perhaps, using some extreme means to provoke the Donghu tribes in a considerable area and concentrate them together is a more feasible, but also quite dangerous way." ”
Zhang Jiashi knew very well that when Bai Qi said this, to put it simply, it was to provoke a large number of Donghu tribes and concentrate on attacking him, so as to greatly weaken the strength of Donghu in one fell swoop.
How is this a method?
Zhang Jiashi was reluctant to do it. But...... He knew he had to do it.
Third: The strength of the Donghu people, on average, is a little higher than that of the Xiongnu, because compared with the miserable civilization development of the Huns, the civilization of the Donghu people, especially when they have already understood the relatively simple smelting technology, to fight against the Donghu people, it is obvious that they cannot completely copy Meng Tian's combat methods against the Huns in the Battle of Yinshan in Hetao.
When Zhang Jiashi asked Pang Chao how much difference there was between the strength of the Huns and Donghu, Pang Chao gave a reply that Zhang Jiashi was stunned for:
"General, if 50,000 Huns and 50,000 Donghu people go head-to-head, I think that the chances of the Huns are less than 30%. ”
De, the Huns in this period were not the opponents of the Donghu people in a sense, and it can also be seen from the side that the strength of the Donghu people was not as bad as Zhang Jiashi thought.
Of course, Zhang Jiashi didn't know that if Toumandanyu determined the foundation of the Xiongnu's strength, then Maodundanyu annexed a large number of Donghu tribes, and it can be said that this aspect was the premise of the Huns' prosperity.
It can be seen that the current Xiongnu is not the heyday of the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so that the Han army and the Han Empire had to consume decades of accumulation and millions of lives to achieve the final victory, and the strength of the Xiongnu will never return.
Fourth, and finally, according to the opinions of Pang Chao and Bai Qi, even if Zhang Jiashi has the opportunity to reproduce the grand event of Qin Kai's big destruction of Donghu, then if he wants to solve the problem of Donghu in one fell swoop, once and for all......
Don't be stupid, if the other party hides in the mountains and forests, it is estimated that the officers and soldiers under Zhang Jiashi's command will not do anything, and all of them will run to arrest people, and in the end they will not even try to find a few people.
Well, Zhang Jiashi had to give up this dream, which was indeed impossible.
......
After asking a lot of things, Zhang Jiashi and other lieutenant generals and Su Jiaojian and others, more than 500 officers were invited by Pang Chao to the largest tavern in Dai County for a banquet.
And Zhang Jiashi took Yingxi and Ying Lian to the banquet.
In this banquet, Zhang Jiashi and the two princesses were invited to the upper seat. In front of Zhang Jiashi, the officer Sima and the others sat in their positions in turn according to the size of their positions.
Of course, this is indispensable for Pang Chao's officers in Dai County.
Although Zhang Jiashi didn't understand why Pang Chao had such an arrangement, Chen Ping knew very well that Pang Chao did this to express his willingness to accept Zhang Jiashi's command.
Because Zhang Jiashi's age is really young, even with the appointment of Yingzheng, the co-lord of Great Qin, the six frontier county guards under Zhang Jiashi and the county lieutenant of Guangyang County, if Yang Fengyin disobeys Zhang Jiashi's orders, Zhang Jiashi can be said to have no good way to solve this problem in a short time.
Ying Zheng can't help much with such a thing. Because Great Qin did not abolish the regulations of the county guard of a county or the position of the governor of a county for no reason.
At least, not now.
So, if those people really did bad things to Zhang Jiashi secretly, maybe ...... At the risk of angering Yingzheng, it is a good way to ask Mo Hong, who is now cooperating with Zhang Jiashi, to send a good hand from Momen to assassinate the other party...... bar.
And Pang Chao's arrangement made Chen Ping's mind a lot more relaxed, because Pang Chao, as a frontier county guard with good qualifications and prestige, the other party had a fundamentally indescribable help to Zhang Jiashi's next environment.
As the two lieutenants under Zhang Jiashi, Su Jiao's attitude is actually quite important. But you have to eat the meal one bite at a time, and a lot of things are rushed, which will only make things mess up directly.
This banquet held by Pang Chao out of his own pocket can be said to be a joy for the guests and hosts.
After the banquet, Pang Chao said that his eldest son Pang Hua hoped to go to the battlefield, and he hoped that Zhang Jiashi would be able to take care of one or two.
Zhang Jiashi didn't understand why Pang Chao said this, but before he could speak, Chen Ping behind him gently pulled off the pale black silk uniform, and Zhang Jiashi, who waited for Chen Ping's signal, simply agreed to Pang Chao's request.
Subsequently, Zhang Jiashi asked Ruan Weng Shao and others to take a postgraduate examination on Pang Hua's strength, and then asked Xiao He to promote Pang Hua to the position of a temporary leader of 100 generals with comparable strength.
For Zhang Jiashi's arrangement, Pang Chao's father and son were quite satisfied. Because although it is a fictitious position to temporarily lead a hundred generals, Pang Hua's strength is not too high, and he does not have any higher requirements, so this arrangement is also a good result for Pang Hua.
As for why the temporary 100 generals?
Very simply, there is no vacancy for an officer under Zhang Jiashi's command, and he dismissed an officer for no reason, for Zhang Jiashi, firstly, he could not do it, and secondly, once such a thing spread, the impact on Zhang Jiashi was also quite huge.
And the two of them, Su Jiao, watched this scene silently, and then quietly glanced at each other, and hinted at something with each other's eyes.
...................................................... Dividing Line................................................
"Your Majesty!! spare your life!!" An imperial history was directly pressed down by two Zhonglang at the court meeting, and in the main hall of Xianyang Palace, the voice of this imperial history begging for mercy echoed.
And Ying Zheng silently watched the reaction of the ministers through the bead curtain in front of him, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He couldn't help but think of the last conversation between the two before Zhang Jiashi left the main hall of Xianyang Palace:
"What would you do if someone wanted to hurt my two daughters?"
"Minister...... I'm going to kill him!"
In the case of the governor of Jinyang, Yingzheng has received the news, and this imperial history actually impeached Zhang Jiashi for conniving at the murderer.
Ying Zheng didn't say a word, and directly let the impeached imperial history be beheaded in front of the palace gate.
After some time, a head with a cloak was sent to the court.
And Ying Zheng thought silently: "I ...... Also a father. ”
