Chapter 167: Three Guards, One Army
The laughter that lingered in his ears made Yu Shi's face turn blue and white for a while, and he knew that his reputation was over.
Suddenly, my heart was like ashes, as if I had lost the desire to live
"Shengshang, the anti-thieves in Kansai are everywhere, and the remnants of Qianliang are endless, and you must not hunt Chang'an in the west"
After saying that, Yushi threw away the wat board and wanted to crash into it and die, but was pressed to the ground by the Han general, who had long been on guard
"Spread it, spread it out to the old man, the old man is no longer alive! The old man is going to die."
Zhu Wenwu still didn't say a word, and watched indifferently as the old Yushi was dragged out by the Han general.
If he hadn't said the sentence that Kansai was full of thieves, he would have gone directly to death, and his friends and colleagues would have come out to fight a round to save him, but his words would have offended all the civil and military generals in the court who were born in the northwest or made a fortune and their in-laws and old ministries and other relationships with them.
For example, the Wenchen Dasi Nong Xia Tong, who was born in Weinan, and the military general Jia Hui, who made a fortune in the West Side.
Thinking of this, several people looked towards Da Si Nong and Tai Wei
Hiss. It's scary, it's dark!
Several people hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look at them again.
I'm sorry old friend, we want to live, we don't want to die!
Everyone tacitly chose to ignore the topic.
There are a few imperial histories who want to come out and say that the people are working and hurting money, but when their eyes swept to the Taiwei who was sitting at the head of the martial arts class, they remembered that the portrait of the God of Wealth that was pasted on the wall of a certain side room of the household department was worshiped by the officials of the household department day and night.
The face on the portrait is the same as the one carved out of a mold of the Tai Lieutenant!
The treatment of 400 million taels of silver is terrifying!
The officials present couldn't think of a reason to stop the two saints from hunting in the west, and the emperor emphasized that the emperor was also going
The officials were out of options.
In these years, a Emperor Taishang who took the initiative to Zen was like a gold-plated body, no matter how fucked he was before, since he took the initiative to Zen, he was the ancient saint king alive!
What's more, in addition to forcing the prince to rebel, the emperor is still a very accomplished son of heaven, and the two together can be called a good virtue in terms of etiquette. Even the most stubborn Confucians have nothing to say about it
In this way, the officials could only admit that they were unlucky, secretly cursed a bad word, pinched their noses and followed Zhu Wenwu to bow down and obey the order.
The matter of Chang'an, which hunted in the west, was decided in this way.
。。。。。。
"What do the Emperor and the Holy One think? Knowing that there are remnants of the East Palace in the Qinling Mountains, why do you want to go to Chang'an to risk your life? ”
On the white jade steps, Jia Hui and Chen Si stayed away from the crowd and whispered together.
"This matter is more complicated," Chen Si looked embarrassed.
"That's a long story short!"
"Okay, the main thing is that the emperor wants to see the little prince with his own eyes"
"Then you wouldn't be putting yourself at risk, would you? You know, now Daqi mainly relies on the two saints to come to the dynasty to clear the Haiyan River, and the saint alone can't suppress the world."
"Oh, then you go and persuade the imperial grandfather."
"Forget it, let the emperor be happy." After thinking about it, Jia Hui immediately gave up dissuasion.
"Actually, what Grandpa Huang means is that the sooner this matter is dealt with, the better, the embroiderers don't even know where they are, instead of letting them develop bigger and bigger, it is better to take the initiative to give them a chance to attack and eliminate them as soon as possible."
"Then I won't go to Huaqing Palace."
"This" Chen Si twisted and pinched, looking unspeakable.
"What, can't you say?" Jia Hui asked.
"It's not that I can't say it, it's mainly that my father wants to go."
Want to go to a hot spring and die as bait in the mountains?
"Too dangerous, isn't it?"
"It's not dangerous, this time Grandpa Huang plans to take Long Xiang, Feng Xiang and Yu Linwei with your Vermilion Bird Iron Horse."
"It's these three guards, that's fine." Hearing these three familiar names, Jia Hui was also relieved.
At the time of the founding of the country, Taizu set up guards to command the envoys, a total of 17 guards, all composed of full-time professional soldiers, completely belonging to the emperor's pro-army soldiers and horses.
But also because these 17 guards and horses are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, they are to be raised by internal funds, and they need to be fully clothed with 17 guards and 95,000 men and horses!
Coupled with the embroidered clothes, a behemoth with 14,560 formal establishments in 13 thousand households, the number of people in the compilation alone exceeded 100,000!
This will not count tens of thousands of war horses and more than 100,000 embroidered guards!
I can't bear it!
So in the reign of Taizong, Taizong streamlined the command of the Shangzhi Army, and reduced the seventeen guards and horses into a total of seven guards and horses, including Long Xiang, Leopard Tao, Flying Bear, Eagle Yang, Xiao Cai, Feng Xiang and Yu Lin Wei.
Directly save the cost of raising the Seven Guards and horses, and then use the money and food to raise the Ten Guards and horses to arm the Seven Guards to the teeth.
All of them are dressed in armor and equipped with the most advanced weapons at all times, and even the soldiers are 40,000 elites selected from the children of Caogong in the Nine Sides and the Beijing Camp!
This move has greatly eased the financial pressure on the internal treasury, and the combat effectiveness has not even weakened much!
Besides, the three guards and horses who want to follow the west hunting.
Long Xiangwei naturally doesn't need to say much, it was Long Xiangwei who used as the main force to exterminate the six rates of the East Palace.
Feng Xiangwei was half to defend the palace, and half to attack the East Palace, it was they who wiped out all the East Palace, and several of the killed emperors and grandsons and Jia Hui had a good time
Then there is Yu Linwei, an army composed of orphans of the seven guards of the pro-army, and since the royal family has not been personally recruited for nearly twenty years, Yu Linwei is almost dead in name
However, at the end of the second year of Yonglong, that is, the last year of the emperor's reign, Yu Linwei was supplemented by almost full staff.
In other words, all the fathers and ancestors of this group of Yu Linwei died because of the rebellion in the East Palace, and the hatred of killing their fathers is not shared!
It can be said that these three troops have a deep blood feud with the six rates of the East Palace, and their Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry are all from the elite cavalry of various border armies and a small part of the Beijing camp, and the three thousand households were all promoted by Jia Hui from Weimo, and they have nothing to do with the former East Palace
There is no psychological burden to cut down the remnants of the East Palace!
"The Sanwei pro-army, the Vermilion Bird Iron Cavalry, and the soldiers and horses of the Lantian battalion, in this way, there is no big problem with the security of the West Hunt." Jia Hui nodded thoughtfully.
Either the East Palace hates it to the core, or it has a blood feud with the East Palace, or it has nothing to do with it and does not have the slightest psychological burden, so it will not hook up with those thieves
was chatting with Chen Si, but he saw a man in a python robe walking towards the palace gate in small steps
"The prince is in such a hurry, where is this going?"
Jia Hui grinned and shouted at King Zhongshun who was about to walk out of the palace gate, so frightened that King Zhongshun froze there, and then ran out with his life
Chen Si and Jia Hui glanced at each other and laughed
。。。。。。
The matter of hunting in the west is not something that the emperor can do with one mouth, and there are so many doors inside
However, fortunately, Daqi has just experienced a capital move, and he is still very familiar with this kind of etiquette of the emperor's patrol, and there is no need to bother with this aspect of the honor guard.
All that remains is the vigilance and the supply of food and grass along the way.
In previous years, everyone had to worry about these things, but this year is different, this year is rich!
As long as you keep an eye on the people below and don't embezzle.
Although Daqi implements a policy of high salaries and honest support, and the punishment of corrupt officials is very cruel, but the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, and there are always a few people in this world who are lucky to ask for money and don't want to die
Then it is to notify the eunuch, the chief administrator of Weiyang Palace, to start cleaning up Weiyang Palace.
The last time Emperor Qi visited Chang'an was more than ten years ago, in order to save money, the maintenance of Weiyang Palace was limited to the palace walls, the three major halls and several main dormitories.
Generally speaking, these are enough, this is not a move to the capital, just a patrol, can't the emperor bring all the concubines, right?
However, this time the emperor will follow
In this way, the palace was not enough, but fortunately, the emperor was empathetic and decided to live in the Xuanshu Hall with the Empress himself, and drove the emperor to the back of the Jiaofang Hall and the Empress squeezed out
However, Chen Si found that he had gone to Chang'an and had no place to live
The steward of Prince Yiyong's mansion rode a horse and galloped towards the gate overnight to buy a house in Chang'an.
The next thing has nothing to do with Jia Hui, this trip to the county mansion is something that the main mother Li Kun should worry about, he just needs to check and fill in the gaps every day.
Left Army Governor's Palace.
One by one, the letters of notification were stamped with the seal of the Metropolitan Governor, and they were taken by the knights to the military yamen all over the country.
Inform them that at least until October, they don't need to send a piece of music to Luoyang, but to Chang'an.
It may cause some trouble initially, but it is not all bad, at least the imperial court will respond to the war in the southwest a lot faster.
Stamping the documents sent to Liaodong Town with the seal of the Metropolitan Governor, Jia Hui rubbed his somewhat sore wrist and let out a sigh of relief.
It's finally finished.
It is enough to leave the matter of writing documents to the scribe, but the seal cannot be borrowed from someone else's hand.
"Captain, the water is boiled."
A little official walked over with a clay pot of hot water that was still gurgling, filled the teapot with water, and after a few breaths, he quickly poured the tea into the large teacup that Jia Hui pushed over.
At three o'clock, drink tea first!
"Whew. Suck and slip"
After taking a sip of hot tea, Jia Hui, who was covered in permeability, sat comfortably on the chair.
"Lao Liu, have you counted all the things that should be removed from the yamen?"
"Back to Taiwei, most of our things in the Governor's Mansion have been counted, this is the list." The scribe Lao Liu handed the list in his hand to Jia Hui with both hands, and stood there waiting for the inquiry.
"So much? When I passed by the other yamen, how did I feel that they had nothing to move? ”
"Tai Lieutenant, this year is the year of the change of guard in the nine sides, and the files of the generals must be taken away, right?" Lao Liu hurriedly explained.
"Ah, yes, I almost forgot. We are investigating from west to east, haven't the four towns in the northwest already finished investigating? It's enough to bring the list of generals, and their files don't need to be used, just put them in Luoyang, just bring the files of the five towns from Sanguan Town to the east. Jia Hui picked up the pen and began to write and draw on the list.
"Yes!" Lao Liu replied.
In fact, there are a lot of dispensable things on the list, most of which are not sure whether they should take it or not.
In order to avoid being scolded and punished for taking fewer things, they wrote all the things they could think of into the list, and tried to do it in one step, delete more and make up less, and let the captain decide what to take.
Look, isn't this missing the files of the four towns?
"You don't need to bring a table and chairs, do you? It's enough to bring some futons and wooden boards the size of paperwork, so we can use them on the way back and forth, and the Governor's Mansion in Chang'an is not without these things."
After carefully checking it five or six times, Jia Hui returned the corrected list to Lao Liu.
"Go and prepare, ah yes, who are you going to let stay in the yamen?"
"Back to Tai Lieutenant, Chang Shi won the left-behind sign, and then some officials who are old and have not very good health and bones and can't stand the fatigue of the boat and car also plan to take the initiative to stay."
"Okay, enough for the number of people left?"
"Three more."
"Come on, Ming'er let them have children in their family, remember, it doesn't matter if they are born or not, they must be born children, let them come to the yamen to practice with you first, you look at it more, if it's good, I will lift them up."
"Oh, the little one thanked the captain for them!"
Hearing Jia Hui's words, Lao Liu was overjoyed, and knelt on the ground with a plop and kowtowed to Jia Hui.
"Alright, you can go about your business." Jia Hui waved his hand at Lao Liu, took another sip of tea and continued to process the paperwork.
"Hey, tsk, it's worthy of Yun Ye, this is the mountain and into the plain."
Looking at the battle report sent by the southwest, Jia Hui was amazed.
After recovering Lashio and capturing the Donghu king Mang Yingda, the Yun Yu division of the Qi army marched west along the mountain road, successfully attacked Meimu at night, opened the way for the Qi army to go down the plateau, and then marched towards Mandalay, an important town in the west, and successfully persuaded the defenders of Mandalay to surrender with Mangyingda.
At this moment, the Qi army completely divided Donghu into two sections, and could go north or south along the Irrawaddy River at any time.
The Qi army's partial division, which set out from the Xuanwei Division of the 800 Dadian, also successfully crossed the Ta Nian Ta Weng Mountains, captured several cities along the coastline, and marched towards Yangon
Donghu is finished.
On the Great Plains, no one was an opponent of the Great Qi warriors.
It depends on how long Donghu can hold out after being beaten into two sections
Presumably, it won't be long before the king of Donghu and other royal nobles of Donghu will be sent to Chang'an to dance.
Speaking of dancing, according to the people of the Teaching Workshop Division, it seems that the debut of Antong Bayar, who has been practicing for nearly two years, will be held in Xiyuan in three days
Be sure to check it out!
"Come on, go and tell Lao Liu, let him bring the files of the generals of this southern expedition." Jia Hui called a small official and instructed him a few words to tell Lao Liu.
"Yes!"
The little official promised to go to find Lao Liu.
。。。。。。
North Korea, just outside Seoul.
The prince Li Xiang led the civil and military classes of North Korea to stand outside the Ying'en Gate, tired and worried, standing there without saying a word.
As early as when he decided to send someone to assassinate the former king, he was ready to come to Korea to investigate.
Those related characters and clues have been destroyed, and in order to ensure realism, he also deliberately captured a mountain monarch and fed it to a few untouchables, just to make it get used to the taste of human flesh
But things were still beyond his grasp, and even far beyond his imagination.
The investigation team did come, but it was not the investigation team of 100 people at most.
It is a nation-destroying investigation team with a full 3,000 fully armed elite cavalry of the Great Qi Border Army!
How can I be in North Korea!
After learning of this, Li Xiang, who was frightened and panicked, smashed his dormitory to a pulp, and a fire was lit.
Alas.
Li Xiang sighed, he regretted it so much now.
But it has come to this, and he can only take one step at a time now
Just as he was thinking about it, Li Xiang suddenly felt a vibration from the ground.
Looking up, I saw a knight in helmet and armor waving flags and huddling several carriages towards the Ying'en Gate!
"Your Majesty, the angel is coming!"
The henchman standing on the side said to Li Xiang as if he had woken up from a dream.
"Assi. Do you still need to say it? ”
Snorted coldly at his henchman, Li Xiang pulled the corners of his mouth under the incomprehensible gaze of his henchman, and strode towards the angel without smiling
"Playing music!"
With Li Xiang's loud shout, the musicians who had been holding musical instruments on the side of Ying'en Gate for a long time recovered from the shock brought by the angel's three thousand elite iron horsemen, and began to play the ritual music given by Daqi...
"Joy in the Sky"
