Chapter 316: Helian Yang Jian?
After waiting for half a month, he didn't wait for Yuwen Shihong to send an edict, and when Tang Yong was about to sit still, the officials of Yelang County finally hurriedly brought someone over to see him.
The three of them were Xia Yuanyuan, and the three of them knew that they had been ordered by Yuwen Shihong to lurk under Yang Jian in Guizhou.
Now that they have returned to Beijing, it was Yuwen Shihong who sent them over to assist the staff officers in marching affairs.
"At the end of the withdrawal from Guizhou, due to the complete blockade of Guizhou, I had no choice but to detour to Ningzhou, all the way around, and finally found a way to go north in Longzhou, so I was able to leave Lingnan."
"It is reported that the Pearl River flows from east to west in Longzhou, and then goes north at the turning point, all the way to Xinggu County."
"If you don't have to take the waterway, you can also walk along the mountains on the east and west sides of the Pearl River."
"The mountains leading from Xinggu County to Longzhou have many valleys, which are much easier to walk than the mountains leading to Guizhou from Yelang."
"And Xinggu County is just south of Yelang, so the general might as well consider marching south from Yelang to Xinggu County, which is a hundred miles away?"
"Launching an attack on Longzhou can form a surprise attack, because Yang Jian and other traitors have deployed heavy troops to defend Guizhou and Ningzhou, and the deployment of Guizhou and Ningzhou is self-evidently important."
The arrival of the three made Tang Yong feel suddenly enlightened.
"The proposal is very good, Ben will have another question for you," Tang Yong asked again after accepting the above opinion:
"The three of you know where most of the forbidden troops of the original Zhou State are located?"
Xia Yuanyuan nodded and said he knew:
"The traitors have set up four new governors in Lingnan and Jiaozhou, in addition to the 20,000 original Zhou forbidden troops in Guizhou, the other 30,000 are scattered in Ningzhou, Jiaozhou, and Chengzhou!"
"Good!"
Hearing this news, the dark clouds blocking Tang Yong's eyes also swept away!
The implication is that Longzhou did not garrison the forbidden army of the former Zhou State!
Combined with what the three of them proposed, Xinggu County launched a surprise attack on Longzhou!
That way, you won't hurt your former colleagues!
Very good, very good!
"The three of you work with me to make a marching route! Tomorrow it will be opened and transferred to Xinggu! ”
"The day after tomorrow! The whole army is marching towards Longzhou! ”
……
In Guizhou, Yang Jian's mind gradually shifted his attention to the matter of governing the locality.
Zhou Guo used practical governance to tell him that as long as local governance is strong, it can be invincible.
It was also because there had been no movement in the north of Guizhou and Ningzhou, so Yang Jian shifted most of his thoughts from the army to ......
Prepare to claim the throne of the emperor.
However, he should have thought that if it weren't for the barrenness of Lingnan, how could various regimes despise the Lingnan region so much.
Lingnan is always only used as a barren place for criminals.
At the moment, he wanted to use iron to make money, but he couldn't find iron ore, but he accidentally found that the salt he ate here was very ordinary, and he didn't need to spend money to buy it at all-
People along the coast often spread a "low bed" on the seashore, and the low bed is covered with a layer of straw or tree branches.
When the tide recedes, a layer of fine salt remains on the low bed after the sea water evaporates in the sun.
It turns out that staying away from the DPRK and China is not only a bad thing.
After Yang Jian sent his subordinates to guard the coast, he put all the salt production under the jurisdiction of the governor's office, and the people who wanted salt must buy official salt in various states and counties to eat, otherwise they would be punished with the crime of killing their heads.
The official salt gave Yang Jian another channel to raise money, grain and grass.
If it weren't for the fact that the tin money not only did not make the place gradually prosperous in stability, but caused several turmoil, his ambition would have been able to start a new journey after completing the recruitment of 50,000 troops.
……
After the Shangyuan Festival, nearly 2,000 officials from Guizhou and Ningzhou arrived in Chang'an belatedly and were ordered to go to the inner temple to face the saint.
As soon as they entered, more than 2,000 people in Wuyang fell to their knees:
"Wechen is not effective in governing the local area! Please punish Your Majesty! ”
Yuwen Shihong waved his big hand and made them all get up:
"The traitor was sent to Guizhou by me, and if it is a crime, it should be a serious misuse of people."
"Let's all be flat!"
After everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief, Yuwen Shihong only left the history of Guizhou and Ningzhou, as well as the Silang officials of the local divisions, and the rest of them all ordered the Taifu Temple to settle down.
After everyone left the inner hall one after another, Xiao Renchang, the assassin of Guizhou, said indignantly:
"This Yang Jian is really unreasonable! Dare to openly lead the troops to betray Da Zhou! In vain His Majesty's kindness to him back then! It's a revenge! ”
Yuwen Shihong smiled quietly:
"Xiao Aiqing, this matter is indeed outrageous, but indignation is useless, not only is it useless, but it will also anger your body, which is not worth it."
"This time I summoned you to Beijing, firstly, there is a decree to be issued to Yu Er, and secondly, I also hope that the Shangyuan Festival, you are in the midst of the rebellion, I am afraid that you will be frightened, so I specially called you back."
"Relax for a month."
"In mid-February, we will set off and return to Guizhou to continue to perform the heavy responsibilities shouldered by you."
This is very unclear, but the smart Xiao Renchang immediately heard the meaning from it:
"Turning back to Guizhou? Could it be that Your Majesty meant ......"
"I'm going to send troops to recover Guizhou?! That's great! ”
"When Guizhou is recovered, Weichen will restore Guizhou to its original state, and strengthen the vigilance of the city defense, eat a trench and grow wise, and never commit such a serious dereliction of duty again!"
Hearing this, Yuwen Shihong still maintained a calm smile, first nodded to indicate that his guess of the recovery was true, and then changed his voice, bluntly stating the main purpose of their visit to Beijing:
"There is no need for city defense and vigilance, I have already thought about it, to deter Yang Jian from going to war, so that he will no longer dare to go north and invade Gui and Ning for the second time."
"Therefore, not only are the city defense and vigilance not needed, but ......"
"I need you to actively maintain trade with Yang Jian when you take over the governance of Guizhou and Ningzhou again."
After that, Yuwen Shihong raised his hand and called a servant of the imperial history, and ordered the newly established city supervisor of the imperial history to come over.
The new person who was appointed to the city supervision supervisor, known as Yuan Changmin, was personally selected by Yuwen Shihong from the special examination of the city ship supervisor earlier.
This family has a big business, but he is a caravan trader, and this time he reuses the trader's background, which is also unprecedented and breaks the precedent.
About this person is detailed, let's not press the table for the time being, in short, Yuwen Shihong admires this "businessman" very much.
"Meet Your Majesty, I don't know what decree has been issued by Your Majesty?"
As soon as Yuan Changmin entered, he stood generously in front of the dragon case.
His temperament, compared with the civil officials who were born with mud legs, is like a tall and confident body, and the other is a rugged shoulder and a Confucian appearance.
Since ancient times, the concept of Shinong industry and commerce has been deep-rooted, even if they have not become officials, they are still a group of mud legs, and they naturally feel that they are much more noble than the traders.
But now, a group of civil officials must salute the merchants.
It is only because of the original Changmin, who is in charge of the city, that his official rank is the third grade, at least six orders higher than them.
"I order you to immediately form ten caravans, and cooperate with the Zhuzhu Supervisor, and prepare to go to Guizhou and Ningzhou, and set up a field for Nantong merchants in the territory of the two states."
