Chapter 50: Yuwen (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

The army has been completed, Zhang Xuanning has to come to the barracks, living in a snow-fiefdom not far from the barracks, and even by January 25, there has been no holy decree to give it, which is also a good thing, and the training has been reduced to maintain physical strength and morale.

It was only in the afternoon, and at this moment, Li Chunfeng was outside and said, "Lord, Chunfeng is here." ”

"Come in, brother Xian. Zhang Xuanning heard it, and hurriedly said, at this time, there was finally a temporary servant, opened the door, and when it was opened, he saw a young man, and there was a servant behind him, holding a large plate in his hand, and a clay pot on the plate, and there was an incomparably fragrant smell: "Brother Xian is coming now, what's the matter? ”

Li Chunfeng smiled, ordered the servant to put the clay pot on it, bowed to Zhang Xuanning, and then sat on the side seat opposite Zhang Xuanning, and said: "Father, the lord has worked really hard since April, and when he saw that I was coming, he brought me a pot of soup that the cook had just stewed, which was the soup of chickens, mushrooms, and fish heads. ”

Zhang Xuanning listened and said: "Uncle Shi is still thoughtful, training is extremely hard, I just want to eat more!"

Speaking, he picked up the spoon and scooped the soup to drink, although there was no monosodium glutamate in ancient times, but these samples were extremely delicious, no monosodium glutamate but just right, and then he ate again and again, and ate a chicken to the essence, before putting down the clay pot, his own servant sent tea, and drank the mouth.

Seeing Zhang Xuanning's sweet eating, Li Chunfeng also smiled to himself, the Li family he belonged to was not a member of the Guanlong military aristocratic group, no matter how it was an official family, this kind of pomp was really trivial, you know, there are eight cooks in the family, twenty-one sets of gold and silver tableware, eight Zhuangzi, and two hundred slaves, which is quite thrifty.

And the lord in front of him is Yang Su's grandson, but he doesn't have the slightest bit of the weather of the year, Yang Su's industry back then, the mansion and the field house are counted in thousands, and there are residences in Kyoto in the east and west, which are extravagant and gorgeous, not to mention that there are many concubines, even thousands of domestic servants.

When he had almost finished eating, he said solemnly: "My lord, I have just returned from Juzhang Harbor and am looking at our ship. ”

Zhang Xuanning's eyes froze: "In the past four months, I have been training and ignoring foreign affairs, and Gao Zhandao has seen it a few times, how is his fleet doing?"

"My lord, this is what I said, the two thousand taels of gold specially approved by the lord have been given eleven large ships, each of which can carry two hundred people, and it has been used. ”

"Oh, so fast?" Zhang Xuanning was slightly surprised.

"It's not very fast, the five-tooth giant ship, I haven't bought one. Seeing that he had some doubts, Li Chunfeng began to explain one by one, it turned out that the ship industry of the Sui Dynasty was in the process of material preparation for the unification war in the early Sui Dynasty.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian, in order to achieve his strategic goal of destroying Chen and unifying the north and south, he carried out long-term ship building and training of naval forces as the key work from the first year of the emperor's reign.

Here, I have to say that it was Yang Su who was ordered to supervise the construction of a five-tooth giant ship that could carry 800 people, which was also created under his leadership, until the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, the boats were hundreds of miles, which shows the prosperity of the Sui Dynasty's naval fleet.

After the Sui destroyed Chen, the strategy turned to the Turks and Goryeo, and there were redundant sailors and ships, so a large number of ships, sailors, and craftsmen flowed into the people, which was only a dozen years away from now, and it was being used, so it was not a big problem to build ships and buy ships, or even recruit sailors.

Seeing that Li Chunfeng was a little regretful, Zhang Xuanning also smiled to himself and said: "Ships like the Wuya Giant Ship are military to the imperial court, of course, it is not easy to get, but it doesn't matter, have you already recruited a craftsman shipmaster?"

"It has been recruited, although in order to avoid the reaction of the county, so some have not come to the door, but once the lord takes Huiji County, as long as he gives an order, he can build three shipyards to fund the military, but the drawings of the five-tooth giant ship are not available, and it is difficult to manufacture. ”

"It doesn't matter, Huiji County is a big port, I estimate that if you take the whole county, naturally the county government has this record, even if you don't have it, you can also get it from other ways, you can do this now, it's already amazing." Zhang Xuanning said with a smile, and after a pause, he became serious: "No matter what, the holy decree is approaching, and the county has been on guard in case of accidents, and now the county has expanded its army by 3,000, although it is not as good as my intentions, and it is not to be underestimated if I have trained strong soldiers, what is your opinion?"

Li Chunfeng also showed a serious look, and said after considering the words: "The county is on guard, and it is a matter of course, we do this way, although it may not be a taboo, and they can't help but be nervous, the lord, I mean, Ming Xiu plank road, dark Chen Cang, as long as it is not a holy decree, immediately capture the lord, the lord can obey the order, first leave by sea, wait for the county to relax, and then take it in one fell swoop." ”

Zhang Xuanning listened and knew that this was actually the ploy of the second father and son: he nodded, sighed and said: " Sure enough, it is a good plan, but there are two points, one is that the county must be placed in the manpower, in order to respond to the critical time, there is no need for many people, dozens of people, and secondly, after going to sea, according to the grain and grass on the ship, it can only be used for seven or eight days, so in order to achieve the goal of relaxing the county, we must stay at sea for ten or even fifteen days or more, in order to relax its will, such a large supply of grain and grass, there must be a stronghold, far away, maybe the county will also send people to Shanghai to inspect. ”

Li Chunfeng said with a smile: "The lord's words are clear, but the lord's manpower at this time is mostly in the attention of others. ”

Zhang Xuanning laughed and said, "Brother Xian is really thorough,

It's up to you to do it, well, but to do such a thing, you must also have a group of villagers to participate in it, you can use it, of course, you are the mainstay, and the people of Feng Shengji know a lot about the overseas islands, and you also work with him, and at this time some rice and grain have been transported, but there is still some more accumulation, just in case. ”

Feng Shengji, counselor in the army, Li Chunfeng's heart moved, and said, "Yes, lord." ”

"Also, Gao Zhandao, what do you think of this person?"

"I have some talent, and I am quite diligent in my work. "This person is Zhang Xuanning's old man, as a new minister, he doesn't dare to say more, considering Cheng Zhu Li, it seems to be intentional, what do you think?"

"What do you mean?"

"The county lord Zhu Li was originally a county magistrate, and the lord took possession of this county, drove away the county commander, and left him alone, so that he could take control of the power in the county, but this is really a big taboo thing, once the lord leaves, what face does he have against the original county order? Although this matter is not his crime, but it is difficult to be a colleague in the same hall anymore, listening to his tone, it seems to have the intention of taking refuge. ”

"This person has been in politics for a long time, if he has to take refuge, of course I can't ask for it, but he is originally a county magistrate of Zhengbapin, how can he not just take refuge in me for this Zhengliupin school captain, you see, did he see something?" Zhang Xuanning was very sensitive to these two words, and said slightly discolored.

"Of course, although the lord does not go out of the barracks and does not interfere in political affairs, but depending on the lord's training and intentions, he must also be a little suspicious, especially the lord, when he buys a ship, where can he buy a lot of money to buy meat and fish, which can be used by the soldiers and soldiers, so as to strengthen his strength? If he is not ambitious, no matter how loyal and diligent he is, he will not be like this, right? Zhu Li is around, looking at it in his heart, of course, he has an understanding in his heart, and if he thinks that the lord is a hero, it is not surprising even if he takes refuge. Zhang Xuan's gaze was blowing outside, and the wind carried the snow and rustled the window lattice.

"What about the others?"

"However, don't worry too much, the lord can buy a boat, and more military funds, far more than the county cangzhi, of course, yes, but I can't hide the county Cheng Zhu Li, who is in charge of his government, but other people, each department, it is difficult to know, even if there is doubt, there is no real evidence, and there is no practicality, but the county lieutenant Ding Yuan, more walks with the officials below, and his whereabouts are secret, I am afraid that it is already a big harm." ”

"What does he know?"

"It's not a matter of knowing what he doesn't know, the county lieutenant Ding Yuan was blamed by the lord, and he lost his power, and he has long hated it in his heart, even if he doesn't know anything, he will naturally frame the lord, if he gets a rumor, he will definitely exaggerate to the matter of rebellion, but this kind of speculation has hit our big thing again, so please also ask the lord to decide. Li Chunfeng said coldly.

Zhang Xuanning thought for a while, and said with a sneer: "That's right, didn't he say that he didn't heal after the injury and refused to do anything? Since everyone knows that he has not healed after the injury, then simply let him relapse after the injury in the next few days, well, you will be able to do this." ”

Whether it is Zhang Xuanning or Li Chunfeng now, it is idle to do this, at the moment, Li Chunfeng responded, and said: "Such a small thing can be completed this afternoon, and please rest easy." ”

"It's all up to the virtuous brother. Zhang Xuanning smiled.

At this time, several huge ships were able to rely on Yangzhou, and their own cavalry mounted their horses and marched straight to the county seat, and there should not be much time, and Yangzhou City would immediately send officials to meet them.

On the command platform of Yu Wenhua and Zhuo Li warships, these five warships were personally supervised by Yang Su, the founding minister of the Sui Dynasty, named the Wuya Ship, with five floors on the deck, as high as 12 zhang, and each ship can accommodate 800 soldiers.

Yu Wenhua and his eyes fell on the roof of the palace that rose outside the forest on the bank, which was one of the more than 40 palaces built along the river by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty only before the year.

Yu Wenhua is in his thirties, tall and thin, with long hands and feet, a frustrated face, a cold expression, and a pair of eyes that are deep and unpredictable, giving people the impression of ruthlessness, but also a shocking domineering.

Before he went ashore, he saw the officials kneeling and bowing, he snorted coldly and said, "They came early." ”

Zhang Shihe, a henchman standing behind him, said respectfully: "My lord is the general of the Right Tunwei, naturally these people and others are acting on orders, and they will bow down early, as a matter of course." If the chief manager can obtain the longevity formula and dedicate it to the emperor this time, it will be a great achievement. ”

Yu Wenhua and the corners of his mouth escaped a trace of unfathomable smile, and said lightly: "The saint is obsessed with the immortality technique of Taoist alchemy, which is really teaching people, if there is really this strange technique, there should have been immortal people a long time ago, but looking at the Taoist sages, who is not immune to death." If it weren't for the fact that this book is woven with black gold thread, which is inviolable by water and fire, we can just find someone to fake it, and we can hide it. ”

Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "The saint has been secretly visiting for more than ten years, and I knew that this book fell into the hands of Shi Long, who is known as the first master of Yangzhou. ”

Yu Wenhua snorted coldly, read the name of the stone dragon in a low voice, glanced at it again, and said: "In fact, the secret of immortality is important, but cleaning up Yangzhou is even more important, and the stone dragon is also unfortunate, Your Majesty is going to be fortunate to come to this city, and naturally you have to clean up the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, so in the city, whether it is the stone dragon or the Yin Kaishan of the Bamboo Flower Gang, it must be cleared." ”

The emperor moved to come, of course, in advance

Especially Emperor Yang of Sui, his mind was to first station in the south of Guanlong's military aristocracy and Ji (at this time, the south and the rebel army were much calmer than the north), and then slowly collect the old mountains and rivers, so he had a long-term heart, of course, this station should not be taken lightly, and it was a matter of course to send important ministers to clear the field in advance.

"Of course, but these two are first-class masters, this ......"

"What's so difficult about this, Shilong has ignored foreign affairs in the past few years, and most of his strength in Yangzhou has been devoured by the Bamboo Flower Gang, so if I can kill this person, I just need to make a move, and the Bamboo Flower Gang will help tens of thousands of people, Yin Kaishan himself is a master, but it is really difficult to clear it immediately, it must wait for His Majesty to arrive, with 200,000 people, killing him is like killing a dog's ear, and it is enough to find a reason. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "If Yin Kaishan did not invade Yangzhou, with his status, it would be difficult to shake, and even we would be difficult to kill easily, but he could occupy this city, and the saint would come to this capital, and this person would have been moved, so there would be only one way to die." ”

Zhang Shihe could only smile, and after waiting for a while, Yu Wenhua said to himself: "I must work in Yangzhou, first stationed in the palace in the city, clean up the personnel, prepare the goods, and have a holy decree, you will promulgate it, you give you a five-tooth ship, and you can bring three hundred elite soldiers." ”

"My lord, are you talking about Shi Wuji? or Zhang Xuanning?"

"Exactly, this person is a disciple of the sword, disguised as a pro-army of the saint, but also built meritorious deeds, repeatedly broke the plan of the Li valve, the saint also remembers him, has a bit of talent and poetry name, I can't imagine that he went to the south to avoid trouble, you go, if he obediently obeys orders, let him come to see me, if he refuses, just kill him on the spot. Yu Wenhua said casually.

This is his attitude towards Zhang Xuanning, although in fact, Yu Wenhua and himself are also a large part of the Guanlong military aristocratic group, but they are actually contradictory to each other, so he is also optimistic about the success of the attack on Li Valve.

It was also forced to Emperor Yang of Sui to go to the south, but Li Valve's intention was to focus on the place, while the intention of the Yuwen family was to take the opportunity to take charge of the 200,000 forbidden army, both of which had their own intentions.

Because when he fled, Zhang Xuanning was alone, although he fled to the south, and heard that the military palace was rebuilt, but it was only a thousand new soldiers, in his mind, he was a Qincha, and brought 300 elite soldiers, and there was an echo in the county, even if it was necessary to use strong means, it could be taken.

is just a frustrated lieutenant, so naturally he doesn't want to go in person.

Zhang Shihe immediately responded, saying, "Yes, Lord Steward, send Lord Steward." ”

At this time, Yangzhou Taishou and the others were already kneeling and waiting in a hurry, Yu Wenhua and snorted coldly, waiting for the holy car to come, Yangzhou is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can such an official have the right to guard the Jiangdu? Naturally, there is no need to have a slight color, his eyes swept like electricity, and he said with a sneer: "It is natural to let them wait for a while." ”

Having said that, he still got off the boat, and at this time, hundreds of forbidden army captains in full military uniforms rushed in and spread out, sealing all the passages below.

"Lord Chincha!" At the sound of the order, everyone below kowtowed and sang: "Long live!"

Then he bowed three times and bowed nine times, and when he had finished his salute, he would fall to the ground and listen to the command.

In mid-February, although there was no snow in Yangzhou at this time, there was no freezing on the ground. There was a thin frost everywhere, and after kneeling on the ground for a long time, the pedestrian felt the cold rushing up, and he didn't dare to move, and his face was like earth.

The Yuwen family also used to be called the emperor and built Zhou.

The Northern Zhou Dynasty was established by Yu Wentai, a powerful minister of the Western Wei Dynasty, and formally established by his son Yu Wenjue.

Emperor Xiaomin was young, and the power was in the hands of his cousin Yuwen Hu. In September, Yuwen Hu killed Emperor Xiaomin and established Yuwen Yu as Emperor (Emperor Ming). In the second year of Wucheng, Yuwen Hu poisoned Emperor Ming again, and established Yuwen as the emperor, which was Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. In the first year of Jiande, Emperor Wu of Zhou Yuwen killed Yuwen Hu, personally took charge of the government, and carried out many reforms.

Yuwen lives a frugal life, hoping to surpass the ancients in everything, and is harsh and less gracious, but decisive and decisive, hard-working, bowing to the battle during the expedition, and winning the soldiers' death.

In the fourth year of Jiande, he planned with a few people such as Wang Yu Wenxian of Qi, and decided to defeat Qi and personally lead the army to besiege Kim Yong Cheng (now Luoyang, Henan. During the siege of Jinyang, he lost militarily, and he was only spared. Later, he followed Yuwen's advice of "surviving in death and winning in defeat", and finally conquered Jinyang. Six years, entered, destroyed the Northern Qi. Since then, it has owned the Yellow River basin and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

It's a pity that after the destruction of Qi, in the first year of Xuanzheng, Yuwen led the army to attack the Turks in five ways, but he died of illness before he could make the trip. Although he died of illness, in fact, there were many suspicious ones, and his eldest son Yu Wenyun ascended the throne. Soon Yun gave way to Ziyu Wenxuan. In another two or three years, Yang Jian forced Zen to expound Zen, usurped Zhou, and established the Sui Dynasty.

Staring at the kneeling officials below, Yu Wenhua snorted coldly, this is the joy of a big husband, if it weren't for the Yang family usurping his world, now it is not Qin who is here, but the holy car is coming, when Yuwen is familiar with Hu to crusade against Shenghu, and thinks that the Buddhism is too powerful in Huzhong, so he destroys the Buddha, and as a result, he dies and the country is destroyed, and he can't imagine that Emperor Yang of Sui is also disgusted by Buddhism, and goes to the road of destruction. With this thought in his heart, he stepped down.
