Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1006
"Husband, the Prime Minister of Bohai Kingdom has left?" Zhe Fangmai turned out from the back house and asked.

"I'm going to Chang'an to face the saint." Shao Shude said, "Is this house still satisfactory? It's costing money."

Zhe Fangai smiled and turned behind Shao Shude, rubbed his shoulders for him, and said: "When I got married more than ten years ago, I didn't expect to be here today. Husband is really the first-class hero in this world."

The lady's flattery made Shao Shude very happy.

"Madam, you should know that I want to move the emperor's officials to Luoyang." Shao Shude picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, put it down gently, and said, "After the emperor moves to the east, Chengjie can stay behind in Xijing and Jing Zhaoyin. This is what I originally wanted to do. The strategy. I met Wu Zendu today, and I have a new idea."

Zhefang gave her a hand, but didn't ask.

"Madam thinks, is it better for Chengjie to stay in Chang'an, or to go to Liaodong?" Shao Shude asked.

"Husband makes up his own mind." Zhe Fangai continued to massage.

Shao Shude nodded, and said: "I see. Chengjie should continue to stay in Xijing. Li Maozhen has pacified Dongchuan, and he should be ready to enter Hanzhong later. Zhuge Zhongfang is his first training. Regarding the Liaodong matter, I plan to let Siwu go there."

After all, Liaodong is separated from the Central Plains by the sea.Shao Shude was not at ease to let any general pass by.The best way is to let his own son go to take command, even if it is only in name, and let the soldiers know who the commander is.Then he had to arrange a deputy for Siwu, preferably someone with a bit of political savvy.

In fact, he had already decided on this matter, and the reason why he said it again in front of his wife was out of respect.

"Siwu will be 17 years old next year. After getting married, he can go out to practice. All the sons of the Shao family will grow up." Zhe Fangai said with a smile.

"Indeed." Shao Shude sighed, and said: "I am trembling in this family. I have been alone until now, and finally I can relax."

"The land of Liaodong can't be achieved by fighting and killing, and someone needs to help manage it." Zhe Fangai said again.

"Madam has this insight, and she is better than many warriors." Shao Shude praised: "Li Keyong only understood this truth in recent years."

The old place of the Anton Governor's Mansion really needs a team of civil servants, some transferred from the Central Plains, and some local people participating in politics to form a community of interests, so that they can gain a better foothold.

He preferred Du Guangyi to serve as Anton's governor.Yes, Anton was originally the Governor's Mansion, and its administrative level was equivalent to the first level of a feudal town, but now he plans to downgrade it to a mansion and call it Anton Mansion.In the future, it will control more territories, and then slowly split them into several states.

Du Guangyi first worked as a secretary by his side, and later went out to work as a military supervisor, and he worked hard.A group of talented people who govern the local area, so that his father Du Rang can think of a way.

This is actually a reward.Because Shao Shude heard that Du Rangneng, the envoy of the Hexi Festival, was in poor health. He was 58 years old this year, and he was already dying, and he would die if he didn't pay attention.

Du Rang can do a good job in Hexi.In particular, he is good at popularizing enlightenment and organizing households and people.What is lacking in Helong is this kind of talent who can turn barbarians into summer.Du Rangneng's work over the years is qualified, and can even be called excellent, so there is no problem in rewarding him.

By the way, Anton's prefect is an internal position of Xia Jun, so he still needs to cover it up to the outside world, so as not to arouse suspicion and fear in Bohai Kingdom.

As for the military generals, Shao Shude has actually already been selected, that is, he will be judged by Fu Cun, the German military envoy.

He led 1000 German infantry, plus [-] Longwu troops, to form the main force of the Anton Camp.

In addition, the cavalry of the Longxiang, Pengri, and Gongchen armies also strengthened.In this way, there are about [-] infantry and [-] cavalry in Anton's camp, which is completely enough.

In the future, the Bohai Kingdom will send war horses over every year. At that time, you can build new cavalry, let the infantry learn to ride horses, or change them to mounted infantry, whatever you want.

Wu Zengdu had a good plan and wanted Xia Jun to take the chestnuts out of the fire for them. I sent a large number of infantry over there to stabilize the ground first, expand the territory, establish a government, organize households to Qimin, and develop production.

After a long time, it took root in Liaodong, and I couldn't drive it away even if I wanted to.Learn how to write the four words "seeking skin with a tiger".

After leaving the mansion, Shao Shude didn't mention that he summoned Yin'anzhi soldiers to hunt in the Forbidden Garden. Here, Wu Zendu and Gao Yuangu have returned to Changshou Temple, and both of them are very excited.

In Liaodong, Jiantian was looted by Khitan, and the local people had long lost confidence in Bohai Kingdom. I don't know how many people wanted to switch to Khitan.As soon as the Xia people came, the Khitan turned pale with fright, and decided to mobilize heavy troops to encircle and suppress, and the Bohai Kingdom relieved the pressure.

"Wu Xiang is the one who is old enough to seek the country." Gao Yuangu complimented: "Let the Khitan fight Xia Bing, we can rest and recuperate, accumulate strength, and then seek justice from the Khitan."

There was also a smile on Wu Zendu's face, and he said: "There is no other way, I can only do this risky move. The old man also wants to continue the Bohai Kingdom. The Khitan is fierce, and Xia Bing also needs to ask for it. Let them fight first. If Both sides will be hurt, and if there is any change in the Central Plains, it will be that God has favored my 200-year foundation in Bohai."

Everyone laughed and came forward to offer tea one by one.

Wu Zendu was in a good mood, and said with a smile: "I brought you here this time, and it's not purely for traveling. I think Luoyang has also newly built the Imperial College. After this matter is over, you can go to Luoyang Imperial College to study. The Tang Dynasty has always been Don't embarrass me and other foreign students, there will be no problem. After you finish your studies, you will strive for high school Jinshi. With fame and fame, after returning to Beijing, I can find a real job for you and others."

"Thank you for the cultivation of the country." Everyone was beaming and responded one after another.

"Don't be compared to the people of Silla." Wu Zendu warned again.

******
There are indeed many Silla people who came to Luoyang, but they did not come here for study, but for shipbuilding.

The leader is Cui Xuan, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty.

He finally found Shao Shude in the woodland of the Forbidden Garden.

At that time Shao Shude was practicing with Yin Anzhi and the palace guards.Under the confrontation between the two armies, the sound of drums and killings shook the sky.

Chen Zhangyong, the general who was promoted from Guangsheng Army to Yin'anzhi, was unstoppable. He galloped into battle several times in a row, captured two of them alive, and beat Murong Fu's palace guards to shame.

"Chen Yecha is mighty!" Seeing Chen Zhang's bravery, Yin Anzhi's soldiers shouted and were elated.

Shao Shude happily rewarded him with ten pieces of silk, and when he saw Cui Xuan, he asked with a smile, "How is this soldier?"

Cui Xuan came back to his senses and said with emotion: "In the past Zhang Baogao was a general in the Wuning Army, and he was known as a brave man. After returning to the country, he was trained as a sergeant, and he was selected to be more than ten thousand brave. Kill them all. Your Highness's soldiers should be more powerful than Zhang Baogao's, and they are the strongest soldiers in the world."

"Zhang Baogao is also full of passion, how can I kill him." Shao Shude said: "I asked you to recruit soldiers, why, there is already a clue?"

"Returning to Your Highness, I have recruited three thousand soldiers in the three states of Denglaimi. There is also a Xinluo man living in Haizhou, named Zhao Zonghui, who has gathered two thousand strong men and wants to fight for His Highness." Cui Xuan said.

"Zhao Zonghui is also from Silla?" Shao Shude asked.

"Exactly." Cui Xuan replied: "There are many Silla immigrants on Yuzhou Island, and Zhao Zonghui is one of them with courage. His ancestors—— his ancestors used to be pirates. But he has changed his ways, and most of the recruits are fishermen. , and dare to fight and fight."

fishermen?I'm afraid not all of them are descendants of pirates!
It's pointless for Shao Shude to be too lazy to dig up the old accounts of eighteen generations of these people's ancestors.

"Since Zhao Zonghui was able to attract troops, he organized them into the Ping Navy and practiced them strictly." Shao Shude just finished speaking, when he suddenly realized that Cui Xuan was not his official, and said again: "Silla Sang Luan, would you like to join the University?" Tang is an official?"

It was expected that Cui Xuan would agree, but he hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Feixuan is unwilling to work for His Highness. It is true that I have returned to Silla and can play a greater role. Your Highness is wise and powerful, and you should know the key to it. "

Shao Shude pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "As long as you have the heart, it's up to you. Ping Haijun has 5000 people, and I will hand it over to others. You can find some Silla expatriates who are proficient in Mandarin and act as translators. "

The Ping Navy is a new force that will be established soon, with a tentative number of 1 people.

It can be seen from the name that this army has an inseparable relationship with the sea-Pinghai, which means to calm the sea.

The 1 people in the Ping Navy are not all combatants. In fact, there will be a large number of sailors.

Although the navy is not something that has happened in the past two years, it is always right to plan ahead.Once the fleet size slowly expands in the future, they will be useful.

Ping's navy will play a huge role in attacking enemy ships, transporting food and supplies, and even landing operations.

"Have all the artisans been recruited?" Shao Shude asked again.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we have finished collecting wood in Penglai Town, and started trial-manufacturing the first boat." Cui Xuan replied, "On the other hand, His Highness's order to build the fishing boat will also be carried out at the same time, and there will be no delay."

"It's a pity that you don't come to my Tang Dynasty to be an official." Shao Shude said regretfully, "Forget it, Lehefang will reward you with a mansion. Come and live here when you are free."

The first square of Dingdingmen East Second Street is Lehefang.Among them is a set of ancient houses, which were half destroyed by the war, and have now been repaired. Shao Shude rewarded Cui Xuan casually.

This house is actually quite good. It was the house of Wei Xueju, Luoyang County, Luozhou, where Chaosan Lang went. He died in Luoyang in the first year of Tiaolu, and was posthumously given to Sima of Xingzhou after his death.

Now every time a house is newly built or repaired in Luoyang's workshops, it will be reported to Shao Shude as soon as possible, and the specific location, size and origin will be attached, so that he can use it to reward meritorious ministers.

Yes, the history of the house is also very important. Even if you tear it down and build a new one, some people still don’t want it because something happened in the past.

The palace that Shao Shude bestowed on his eldest son Shao Chengjie was almost "rejected" by Zhe Fangai, because this so-called "Prince Yong's residence" was actually the place where Prince Zhang Huai lived before he was promoted to crown prince during Gaozong's time, and the omen is not very good.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Cui Xuanxi said.

A house in Luoyang cannot be bought with money.The mansions in the various squares are not sold at all, and all that has been sold so far has been in the form of rewards.

"You've been out to sea quite a few times. Are there any islands off the coast of Ping, Ji, and You? It's better to have water." Shao Shude asked.

Cui Xuan recalled it carefully, and said, "I don't seem to have seen it before."

Shao Shude was a little disappointed and waved his hand to let him leave.If there is a suitable island, then the "Marine Corps" can completely occupy it and use it as a transfer base for supplies and soldiers.

His army is full of landlubbers. Once they go out to sea by boat, they might even spit out their bile.It would be great if there is an island offshore that can rest and recuperate.

Forget it, he will find another way.Of course, people will be sent to investigate, so as not to miss anything.If it really doesn't work, find a port with weak defenses, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and take it by surprise.Can a living person be suffocated by urine?
