Chapter 228: The Great Tribulation Begins at the End of the Matter

The Anren Army was established by Guo Zhiyun, a famous general of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, on the front line against Tubo that year.

Guo Zhiyun is skillful and strategic. From the second year of Kaiyuan to the ninth year of Kaiyuan, he served as the envoy of the Longyou Festival, and lived in the town for eight years, which was very feared by Fanyi.

He and his successors Hexi and Longyou Jiedu made Wang Jun as famous, and the people of the time called him "Wang and Guo".

These two people were fierce generals under Brother Ji back then, and they had outstanding achievements.

It is said that the Anren Army belonged to the meritorious old army of that year, not the kind of "small army" with an establishment of only about 1,000 people that was temporarily set up when the attack on Tibet was later carried out, and it should not mutiny.

However, the government will change to recruit soldiers, and the new model will also bring new problems.

The past government soldiers did not think about mutiny, but they did not have the capital to mutiny.

The benefits of being a government soldier have been better than nothing since Zhenguan, and most of the government soldiers are for the benefit of their families, rather than the government soldiers themselves. After all, the family members of those who served as errand soldiers in the government could still receive preferential treatment such as tax exemptions and exemptions from the imperial court.

If there is a mutiny, the court will investigate it, what will the family do?

It is precisely because of this concern that since Zhenguan, there have been vicious incidents of Shangguan deceiving government soldiers to kill them somewhere and then embezzling their property. The repeated defeats of the border army during the Wu and Zhou periods were not entirely due to improper command.

The collapse of the military system is also a major factor.

The government soldiers have been re-recruited, and the soldiers can return to their hearts by paying the soldiers, and these people either have their families in the border towns and tuntian, or they simply feed the whole family without hunger. Winter clothes have not been issued in the army for several years, similar to the halving of military salaries, and the rest of the distribution is not enough.

And the Anren army served in the bitter cold land, and the treatment was much worse than that of the Lintao army in Shanzhou City.

On the one hand, the military salary is uneven, and on the other hand, the border is bitterly cold, can people have no complaints?

However, although the An People's Army mutinied, Gai Jiayun was not very worried. After all, the Lintao army in Shanzhou City will not mutiny, this army has always been treated favorably during Du Hope's tenure as the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, has never been in arrears of military salaries, and is well-equipped.

Du hopes that he can't be a director, so Gai Jiayun is the acting military envoy of the Lintao Army, in fact, the Lintao Army has always been managed by Gai Jiayun himself, and this position cannot be snatched away by Fang Chongyong.

"Angel, now that Fang Chongyong has not arrived in Shanzhou, the appointment letter of the imperial court cannot be sent to him.

According to the duties of the posterior, a certain is now going to temporarily take the position of the envoy of Longyoujie, and this appointment will be discussed later. Please also ask the angel to explain to the saint after returning to Chang'an. ”

Gai Jiayun said expressionlessly to Bian Lingcheng with a crossed hand. This wave of "card slots" is really impeccable! No flaws can be found in the program!

He temporarily made the envoy on behalf of Longyoujie, so after Fang Chongyong came, he was still "left behind"! It's a substitute for his temporary moderation!

And the security army is making trouble, and Gai Jiayun can suppress it with one hand!

The Anren Army is just a bitter force guarding the front line, and it is not a day or two since they scolded their mothers in private.

As long as they can be "persuaded" by a good student, these people will "consciously" return to service. The town on the right side of Longyou is bitterly cold and poor, where else can they run?

Finally, kill the soldiers who led the mutiny to make an example, and the dispute can be quelled.

Urge the imperial court to pay the military salary again, and make up a part of it, and it will be fine.

I have to say that most of the many military envoys present except for Ge Shuhan thought so.

So at this moment, they all looked at Bian Lingcheng in unison, wanting to see what tricks this eunuch from the palace could play.

However, these people never expected that the question that Bian Lingcheng is thinking about now is: Is he the gang Chongyong who fights with open fire, or the gang Chongyong who is quietly and quietly?

Although these hiccups in front of them don't seem to be easy to speak, they ...... Fang Chongyong, his father Fang Youde, but he is in Chang'an, and he is next to the emperor as a general of the forbidden army!

You can meet Brother Ji every day!

As a eunuch in the palace, the emperor's mouthpiece. Isn't it clear who kisses and who soothes?

How old is Gaiga's arithmetic!

Although Fang Youde did not send money to Bian Lingcheng, he ...... Fang Chongyong privately gave Bian Lingcheng a pair of precious night pearls from the Western Regions, and this one was given to Gao Lishi!

It is precisely because of the continuous gifts to Colliers that Bian Lingcheng can receive one assignment after another.

To please Gai Jiayun, this one does him no good; But to please Fang Chongyong, the benefits are real.

Bian Lingcheng was silent, thinking in his heart how to operate in order to give Fang Chongyong the official position of "leaving behind".

However, at this moment, another herald hurriedly rushed into the hall of the Jiedu Envoy's Yamen, and looked at the outfit, it was actually the Heyuan sergeant from Tunzha Shancheng!

Unlike the remote Anren Army, the Heyuan Army was stationed in Shancheng, which was more than ten miles away from the Longyou Jiedu Envoy Station.

That is, the urban area of Xining City in Fang Chongyong's previous life. Here is a plain terrain surrounded by mountains, there is an irrigation system, and it is one of the few tuntian places in Longyou area.

Back then, Guo Zhiyun was here in Tuntian, and the male of his Tuntian household was a soldier of the Heyuan Army all along.

Moreover, the Heyuan Army is still a meritorious veteran unit in the Kaiyuan period, and Heizhi Changzhi, Lou Shide, and even Guo Zhiyun himself have served as military envoys here. At present, the Lintao Army, the leading unit of the Longyou Army, is the absolute main force transferred from the "rear" Didao County in order to strengthen the defense of the Longyou front.

This situation is a bit similar to a team in the football league, there is a veteran star who has worked in the local area for many years, the locker room boss, who is regarded as the pillar of the team by the local fans.

However, in order to strengthen the team, the team manager introduced a newcomer with better ball skills and stronger strength, but had nothing to do with the locals, overshadowing the big brother.

In terms of power structure, this can be regarded as a kind of check and balance within the Longyou Army, because there is no Sogdian-Hu force like Hexi in Longyou, and naturally there will be no absolute big brother like the Chishui Army.

"What is it, what kind of system is it that is panicking?"

Gai Jiayun, who is still serving as the queen of the stay, was displeased and reprimanded the herald.

The envoys of the Longyou army did not speak, and Bian Lingcheng did not speak, and everyone wanted to see what was going on.

"People's Army Mutiny......"

The herald from the Heyuan Army stammered, looked at the faces of everyone present, and didn't know what to say.

"And then what?"

Ge Shuhan asked in a deep voice, as an envoy of the Anren Army, it seems that his situation is the most embarrassing and the worst at the moment.

"The Heyuan army dispatched thousands of people, captured all the soldiers who escaped from the Anren army, and set up a camp on the outskirts of Shancheng to house those deserters......"

The herald picked up the nice words and said that if things were really going so well, he probably wouldn't have broken into the lobby of Jiedu Mansion without being informed.

Shancheng is the only way to Qinghai Lake, and it is also the key node of Longyou leading to Dadou Ba Valley and connecting Hexi. The People's Army was stationed in the canyon passage north of Shancheng.

The Anren sergeants mutinied and fled from the barracks, it was impossible to bypass Shancheng, and it was normal for them to be captured by the Heyuan army.

"Finished? Gone? ”

Ge Shuhan was so angry that he was about to stomp his feet, he was an envoy of the Anren army, and of course he knew what virtues those Qiu Ba under his command were. In other words, no one is blind to the military envoys of the Longyou army.

The envoy of the Heyuan army, the king, was also glaring at the herald under him with a displeased face, not knowing what they wanted to do.

"River...... The generals of the Heyuan Army, Tuo asked Du Jieshuai when the winter clothes owed by the Heyuan Army could be sent.

I heard that the Anren Army mutinied after not being issued winter clothes for several years, and I think that the Heyuan Army seems to be owed winter clothes......"

The herald said incoherently, he was stupid, but he accidentally told the truth.

Everyone present shouted in their hearts!

Can this kind of thing be said in front of the eunuchs in the palace?

Now it is not the middle and late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the middle and lower-level officers and ordinary Qiu Ba in the Tang Dynasty, and these military envoys, whether it is the promotion channel or the treatment, are all taking different paths.

The upper class values military merit, and the lower level values wealth, and there is little overlap between them. For military envoys like Ge Shuhan, it doesn't matter whether they themselves have military salaries or not! The important thing is whether you can make meritorious contributions, whether you can get rewards, whether you can be promoted, and whether you can be in the prime minister.

The king grabbed the herald by the collar, glared at the big frightening eyes, and rebuked, "Are you trying to rebel? ”

It was not surprising that he was so excited, for the situation in which the king was in a rare situation was actually more sinister than that of Geshuhan.

After his father Wang Sijing served as the general of Jin Wuwei, a coup d'état broke out in Chang'an, and the loyal king Li Heng launched a rebellion.

In this process, Wang Sijing, who secretly cooperated with Li Heng, was beheaded by Fang Youde, the Lingnan economic envoy who returned to Beijing to report on his work.

However, after all, there was no direct evidence of the collusion between Wang Sijing and the loyal king Li Heng, and for the sake of political stability, Brother Ji did not do anything to Wang.

It's like not knowing that he is Wang Sijing's son.

As for finding Fang Youde to take revenge or something, Wang rarely didn't dare to think about it at all, nothing was as important as surviving and keeping his official position.

It's rare for Brother Ji to find out what no king knows, but whether his father really deserves to die, he still has a spectrum in his heart.

In order to avoid suspicion, Wang Rare even burned everything related to Li Heng's house at the first time.

Why do you say that, because Wang is rare not only does he not dare to think about revenge now, he even asks his grandfather to sue his grandmother, praying silently in his heart every day, begging God to let Brother Ji not remember that he is Wang Sijing's son!

He was able to become the envoy of the Heyuan army, in addition to his own courage and good fighting, the loyal king Li Heng did not contribute less. If Li Heng's coup d'état was successful at that time, it would be difficult for the Heyuan army or even the Longyou army to enter the Guanzhong Qinwang eastward.

The undercurrent within the royal family is particularly obvious as a king who has a deep relationship with the prince's power.

In fact, it was Du Hope's protection that made it rare for Wang to continue to work in the position of military envoy of Heyuan at this moment, otherwise he would have been removed from his post after Li Heng's failed coup.

Hearing that the Heyuan Army actually followed the An People's Army to "make trouble", Wang's rare heart rose to his throat. If this horse makes a big fuss, it is hard to guarantee that the Son of Heaven will not remember the attitude of his father Wang Sijing towards Li Heng that day, and use his king's rare head to calm the trouble.

"Envoy Wang, General Gao Xiuyan also persuaded him, but the soldiers didn't listen, they all dragged their families with their ......"

The herald timidly replied, for fear that the king would rarely cut himself off with a knife.

The idea of the officers and men of the Heyuan Army is very simple.

The Anren Army mutiny was due to the fact that the imperial court was in arrears of military salaries, and our Heyuan Army was also owed winter clothes.

The Anren Army can make trouble, but can't we make trouble?

The Anren army has mutinied, we have not mutinied, even if the upper authorities want to be held responsible, it is the turn of the people who cut down the Heyuan army after the more than 10,000 people of the Anren army were cut down first, right?

No matter how you look at it, there will be no such big movement in the imperial court, otherwise it will be purely cheap Tubo.

The Anren Army made a salary, and our Heyuan Army also made a salary together.

It became that the imperial court wanted to make up for the winter clothes, and the defeated Anren army took the pot first, and the risk taken by the Heyuan army was very small. In the end, it is estimated that it will not be over.

In that case, what is the politeness? Of course, he took advantage of the time when the military envoys went to the meeting to make trouble to the death!

The faces of the military envoys in the yamen hall of Longyou Jiedu Mansion changed slightly, and the name of the Heyuan army was to arrest the mutinous Anren army deserters, but in fact, they gathered those deserters together and made trouble together! By the way, find someone to top the pot!

Of course, this is very much in line with the "big brother" mentality that the Heyuan Army has always had.

Most of the non-commissioned officers in the Heyuan army were Tuntian soldiers around Shancheng, and most of the non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the Anren army were from other places on the Long March, and the situation was slightly different.

The Anren army is stationed in the wilderness, and there is no home in Longyou. They just want to run, but the Heyuan army doesn't want Longyou to mess up, they have nowhere else to run, and they don't want to be owed winter clothes by the imperial court and suffer a loss.

Therefore, it is the most cost-effective solution for the Heyuan Army to make military salaries with the An People's Army.

But even so, the Heyuan Army still takes the overall situation into account.

They are "salute before soldiers".

First send someone to the Yamen to inquire about the situation, when the soldiers eat food, you first owe the military salary, it's not that we are unreasonable, right?

If the Jiedu envoy does not agree, then it is difficult to say whether the Heyuan army will have the next move.

For example, if you are in tandem with other border armies on the right side of Longyou to make a fuss together, you can't rule out such a possibility.

At that time, it is estimated that only the fully staffed Lintao army will not participate.

If it really comes to that day, if there is one of the military envoys present, it is estimated that they will all walk around the Huangquan Road.

The internal mood of the An People's Army was very great, and all the generals present knew that otherwise Ge Shuhan would not have sent Guan Chongji to Chang'an Bai Wharf. But the ripple effect of this army mutiny was something they did not anticipate.

After all, this kind of game that had to be played several times from time to time in the middle and late Tang Dynasty was unthinkable when the military system of the Tang Dynasty was in power. For everyone present, it is still the first time that the big girl has been on the sedan chair!

"Angel, you see it too. Now the stakes are high, Du Jieshuai is unconscious and unable to serve as a director, and the new one did not go to Shanzhou after staying.

After a certain stay, he went to the army to appease the soldiers.

If Du Jieshuai wakes up, the matter will be decided by Du Jieshuai. If the new appointee arrives later, then he will act as his agent.

The angel put the letter of appointment in the yamen of the festival and returned to Chang'an to restore his life. ”

Gai Jiayun saluted to Bian Lingcheng and said.

Heyuanjun threw a cauldron that everyone was afraid of, and he shrank decisively!

Gai Jiayun knew very well that it was easy for the army on the right side of Long to fight Tubo, and it was difficult to ask for military salaries. You can use knives against the Tibetans, and you can cut them as you want; But they can't wield a knife at the Son of Heaven in Chang'an!

Wang Rare and the others all looked meaningfully at Gai Jiayun, who was about to become the acting military envoy of the Lintao Army, and they were secretly laughing in their hearts.

They thought that Gai Jiayun was arrogant and didn't know whether he was alive or dead, but he didn't expect this guy to be stupid, and when he saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately moistened!

At this time, the official position after staying is no longer an opportunity, but a proper big black cauldron, you can't hide it, where can you run over and take your head to pick it up!

"That's fine, then so-and-so will wait for the imperial history in Shanzhou City, other military affairs, the generals please do your own convenience, it is inconvenient to interfere."

Bian Lingcheng said with a reserved face, without changing his face.

My heart is sad and happy.
