Chapter 34: Yang Yizhong in History
Zhao Guanjia led a group of people to the embankment, the afternoon sun made the river sparkling, and from a distance, I saw that a few people were not standing on the embankment, but on the tidal flats while comparing and saying, the leader was Zhao Ziyan and Xiao En, the commander of the imperial camp and navy.
The most complicated sense was not Zhao Guan's family, but Yang Yizhong, who never talked much, and his only record as the direct command of the imperial front class should be the battle between Yanggu and Wushan that year, and it was with the Xiao system that he thought was "thief and unchangeable".
How to say it, after all these years, although it is difficult to make friends due to the position, Shaun's appearance is really impressive, and he will not forget it for many years. There is a road with a dark and red complexion, short and strong, at first glance is a poor man begging for a life on the water, the county green robe with hard wings, but only tied with hemp rope at the waist, striding forward, but also revealing a pair of open-toed bast shoes, in the mean words of his subordinate Zhai Biao, like a wild duck on the shore, swaying.
After seven or eight years, although this Xiao commander is still a little different from the general civil and military generals, but in the end the sense of vicissitudes is heavier, I heard that he was injured in the battle of Yuancheng, Zhang Rong had already greeted him and transferred to a civilian position, and especially pleaded that he was too reckless back then, and the commander was more official, in fact, this old Xiao is very powerful, please pay more attention to the officials.
This thought just moved, and then he listened to the official family listening to the hydrological differences between Hebei and Henan, the irrigation efficiency and the conditions of flood outbreaks, in fact, the lower reaches of the Yellow River should be five forks, etc., as if he heard it with relish, but Yang Yizhong dared to take his eleven years of intuition assurance, this must be pretending, but this official family has been doing it for a long time, plus the blessing of the monarchy over the years, I don't know, I think he Zhao Jiu really understands this.
However, although he does not understand this, he understands a principle, that is, "the Yellow River is flooding and the river is blocked, but who of you has a practical solution?" I explained first that the Yellow River stretches for thousands of miles and is the mother river of Chinese civilization, which is very important. As long as it can benefit the people, I will not be stingy with money and manpower, let alone officials. β
The people around looked at each other, and they didn't dare to answer first, but it was Zhao Ziyan who spoke first: "The official, the minister has watched the past dynasties to govern Huang, and it is nothing more than the hard work of the river and the embankment, but on the spot, I feel that the bigger problem is that there is too much sediment, as for how to solve it?" Shu Chen really can't answer now, so please ask Your Majesty to listen to the news with the sailors and the old peasants these days, do some investigations, and then play the right game. β
Zhao Guanjia also knows that you expect people to come up with an effective plan to control the Yellow River on the first day, which is tantamount to a dream, if there is such a person, he has to be sent to the Tai Hospital to see if there are any mental problems, so he was not disappointed, and continued to pretend to ask a few words, before taking advantage of the warm winter sun in the afternoon, turned to the river, and then took a few attachΓ©s and Zhang Rong and others to climb the embankment, checked the embankment and fortifications again, and habitually asked some military information - although there is really no war anymore, military strength is still necessary.
I have to say here that the source of the imperial camp naval army is special, that is, this army was originally a peasant army formed by Zhang Rong, and it has its own internal system. In wartime, there may be such a problem as semi-independence, but when it comes to disarmament, it is easier to do - thanks to Zhang Rong has not deteriorated, many of his low-level officers know that they can retain honorary positions (Song Dynasty scattered officials, pay salaries) and voluntarily return to their hometowns after dividing the land, and many elderly people simply mixed up with a tun chief to settle down on both sides of the Yellow River, so the naval army was reduced to 10,000 according to 15,000 people, but it is a relatively small problem, Wu Jue of the imperial camp and the rear army are estimated to cry when they see it.
However, there must be a disadvantage in everything, and the results of the officers of the Imperial Naval Army who were transferred to become magistrates are definitely the first from the bottom in each army (the Navy Li Baobu did not participate in this transfer), and the literacy rate is low one by one, and there is also a set of his own Liangshanbo values, such as you want him to be a county lieutenant, anyone who encounters a lawsuit between two families, regardless of the district, just judges the rich to lose, and the poor to win.
As far as Yang Yizhong knows, in just a few months, only in Wuqing County, there are many bankrupt wealthy households, and most of the middle-class families have been squeezed out of half of Thailand's property by those market scoundrels, which seriously affects the county's public security and grain payment. His county commander Yue Fan almost had to fight with the former commander of the Imperial Naval Army nicknamed Lao Wu under his hand, and the current county lieutenant of Wuqing County, and the lawsuit went to Lu Dayin, the Daimyo's Mansion. It embarrassed Yue Fei and Zhang Rong, two friends of life and death, and each wrote to reprimand. This is also the reason why Zhang Rong is also cautious about asking for a clerical job for a great hero like Xiao En.
In the evening, Liu Yan was on duty to guard the royal driver, Yang Yizhong explained two sentences, and ordered his subordinates to buy two pots of spirits named "Hengshui Lao Baigan" by the official family, and went to Xiao En's residence, which startled the people, but in the end, they had experienced life and death, and soon smiled: "I heard that you bird officials don't all want to pay homage or something, how can you go to someone's house at night to scare people, thanks to the absence of Lao Tzu's mother-in-law, otherwise it will scare her." β
Yang Yizhong has what to do with whom, put the wine down, and said: "If I come to this set, you Xiao will not be annoyed to death, but you, since you also want to be a bird official, you also have to learn the rules, otherwise there will be something like Yanggu again, if it is peaceful today, although the official family treats the soldiers well, they can't agree." β
This is naturally said that Sean did not let the royal class go straight into the city but was saved by others, a good man blushed a little when he mentioned it, fortunately he himself is a jujube red face, just said: "I know, King Lu also often said that the official family is a righteous person, it is our navy that causes trouble for him, but he does not hide it from Brother Yang, the official position given by the official family this time.... My brother thinks it's a good fit for me, and I'm sure I'll be able to do a good job. β
Rao is Yang Yizhong couldn't help but be curious, "What position?" β
Xiao En took a sip of wine, beckoned him to sit down, and said: "It's called the Imperial History of the River, the official said, I am begging for a life on the water, and I must know more than others, and the governance of the Yellow River costs a lot of money, so I will stare at the birds...... Those officials, if they dare to take bribes and perfunctory works or beat and scold the people, they can control it. β
Yang Yizhong: .........
The official family is worthy of you.
But Xiao En has been mixed up until now, and he is also a blushing and bright-hearted, thick and fine, and after a few sips of wine, he said: "Okay, Xiao Yang, you have always been careful not to interact much, what is the matter with today?" Let's talk about it first, if you come to talk to Brother Zhang...... King Lu's, don't blame me for not being emotional. β
------ Theatre Dividing Line------
When "Emperor Jianyan" was created, the most difficult thing for me was actually the portrayal of Yang Yizhong, the king of Jingsai County. First of all, as the No. 1 close minister of Tianzi, he must be irreplaceable.
As the leader of the Imperial Forest Army who has been from Song Shizu for more than 30 years, he is undoubtedly extremely trusted by Shizu, judging from Shizu's own martial arts and knowledge, he will definitely not be a traitor, but for more than 900 years, whether it is "Saying Han", "The Secret History of Song Jin" and other romance novels or various miscellaneous dramas, he is a typical traitorous villain. And various documents show that during the Jianyan period, "please behead Yang Yizhong" appeared almost in most of the Wenchen's songs, which makes me difficult to figure out how to create such a historical figure in order to be both serious and relevant to the theme.
Later, I combined the inferiority complex that had been suppressed for many years at the turn of the two Song Dynasty and Yang Yizhong's experience of being in charge of the Imperial City Division later, I wondered if this would be the courtier's natural sensitivity to the secret service, and Shizu was recognized in history as a Ming monarch in addition to a more willful person, throughout history, I couldn't find an emperor who dared to cross the river to see Zhang Jun on a snowy night when he was on the line of life and death, which certainly moved our current audience, but at that time it scared the courtiers to death, and everyone couldn't blame an emperor too much, Therefore, it is inevitable that a private person like Yang Yizhong will be used as a target, and I uphold this idea when I create.
