Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

"This east tour, the more I chew, the more I feel the taste. Many strategies are decided here, and I will have to go out in the future." On the road going south, Shao Shude felt that the car was boring, so he rode his horse. .

At that time, there are hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, and the snow scenery is enchanting.Emperors, monarchs and ministers rode their horses and raised their whips, pointing the country, and they were really unhappy.

"Your Majesty, the officials of Daozhou may not like you to go on tour." Chen Cheng also smiled.

Along the way, dozens of officials have been punished.According to the seriousness of the crime, it ranges from dismissal to exile.

Fortunately, the establishment of the new dynasty broke the original chain of interests and abandoned most of the negative assets of the former Tang Dynasty. The enthusiasm of the officials was stimulated, and they worked hard and restrained. They did not rise to the point where they needed to kill people.

Generally speaking, the old bureaucracy committed more crimes.Maybe they are used to many operations in the past and think that this is nothing, but it is not allowed in the new dynasty.

Things like officialdom are being done even in the 21st century.No matter how strict your system is, over time, the atmosphere will always be one way or another.Every time it is caught, although it cannot be cured, it can always get better.Perhaps after a few years the officials will revert to their old ways, but at least it is meaningful to slow down the speed of deterioration.

There are also officials from Kansai Prefecture who commit crimes, but not many.They are in such a big dye vat, it is impossible not to be assimilated, as long as the speed of assimilation is slow, Shao Shude is quite satisfied.

"If you don't go on tour, who knows what the place looks like." Shao Shude said: "If my descendants grow up in the deep palace and don't know the sufferings of the people, wouldn't they be fooled by others? Muscles, when it comes to practical affairs, they are definitely not as good as those old bureaucrats, and finally set the wrong strategy."

"Your Majesty, there is a specialization in art, and the emperor only needs to know how to employ people." Chen Cheng said.

"The words are correct, but you also need to have an understanding of the practice." Shao Shude disagreed, saying: "In the future, my descendants will have to set a rule and go to the local area to practice. The prince is a petty official, so what's the embarrassment The princes and nobles who were demoted in the Northern Dynasties, wouldn’t it be comfortable to be a petty official? I’m a martial artist, so I don’t know the rules, so what? Not only that, but I have to go on patrol more, and talk more about martial arts and field hunting with the army.”

Chen Cheng smiled wryly.Those people from the Northern Dynasties had a strong Hu style, and the rules were not so strict, so why learn from them.After the emperor married his cousin and cousin, he also married his cousin's niece, uh, this matter can't be delved into.

Seeing that Chen Cheng stopped talking, Shao Shude laughed.In fact, he still has nothing to say, the emperor must control the army.

Since the pre-Qin period, the king was first and foremost a military commander, which was his most important position.But at that time, there were many small countries, and the succession was orderly. It was really not good to compare with the unified dynasty.But no matter what, it is right for the emperor to control the army, especially the troops in the capital, which must be firmly in his hands to ensure that he has the ability to turn the table at any time.

"Your Majesty said this, I'm afraid many pedants will be unhappy." Chen Cheng also laughed.

Shao Shude smiled without saying a word.

In fact, he quite likes the atmosphere of the previous dynasty.During festivals, officials and common people have fun together, and officials who are good at dancing drink too much and dance on the spot, even the prime minister dances. This seems hard to imagine in later generations, right?
Women go out on horseback, and play polo on horseback and donkeys.Exposurely dressed, without veils—even because of this matter, it has been brought up repeatedly, which is actually hard to imagine in later generations.

The emperor and the concubine walked together and went hunting together.Women also hold bows and shoot rabbits, foxes and other things.

Beautiful and interesting things from foreign countries must be learned. After learning, improve and localize. As a part of our own traditional culture, there is no such sensitive political correctness. I would rather...not...

After the Anshi Rebellion, this open atmosphere has been restrained, but it has not completely changed, and it is still generally positive.

However, after the rise of Khitan and Dangxiang in the future, the Han people will suffer heavy losses, and it is estimated that it will be greatly reversed.

The rise of these two major ethnic groups is no less shocking to the people than the defeat of the Manchu Qing by Japan after the reform.

During the Xuanzong Dynasty, what was the party item?The side generals took credit for them, pushed them against them repeatedly, and suppressed them again, so that the court couldn't stand it anymore.Even if the Tuoba family won Xiazhou, they were defeated by a partial division of He Dongxijin during the Houliang period, and the Houliang army was still needed to rescue them.back
During the Tang Dynasty, Xiazhou was besieged even more, and they all relied on steadfast defense to fight back. The proud cavalry suffered a crushing defeat in front of the infantry of the Later Tang Dynasty.

I want to continue the self-confidence of the Han people, and let the atmosphere of tolerance and openness continue.

So what if the prime minister dances in public, what about women playing ball and hunting, maybe human nature is like this, and a society that is bound and imprisoned by ethics is not normal.Even though such a society may not be as stable as a social order with strict etiquette, Shao Shude is happy to see it, he likes it.

On December [-]th, the army arrived at Linyi County, where Yizhou was located.At this moment, Sikong Bing, the envoy of Wei Bo and the marching army of the shogunate, came again.

******
Yizhou is the confluence of Dangzhi River and Yishui River, located on the west bank of Yishui River.110 miles to the southeast is Yushan, and another 120 miles to Lisuo Qushan County, Haizhou.

In fact, it has already left the mountains and reached the plains and valleys, so the terrain is open and endless.

The [-] army is scattered around, mighty and majestic——General Tu has already headed to Dizhou, intending to teach Lu Yanwei a lesson. Because the Longxiang Army has just been reorganized and can't fight a tough battle, it is brought with him. Training while walking.

During the stay in Yizhou, business affairs will be handled as usual.

Ordinary affairs are filtered out by Luoyang, and those sent here are all major and important matters.

For example, the first scientific examination in Daxia will be held in March next year, and final confirmation is required.

For example, 500 people in the Xinquan Army were reorganized into the Yuanbian Town Army, and Shao Shude personally bestowed the names of the first town and the second town of Yinshan.

The former is stationed at Gaoque and other fortresses in the north of Fengzhou, and the old Guancheng can be used.A part of the land at the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain was divided as public land, and people were recruited to cultivate it, and the income was used as part of the income of the town soldiers.

The second town was stationed in the north of Rouzhou. After the beginning of spring, peasants were recruited to build the city, and the available farmland and grassland nearby were measured and counted as public land.

In addition, the five prefectures of Feng, Sheng, Can, Rou, and Shuo began to reform and implemented the military system.One Zhechong mansion is rated at [-] soldiers, and [-] Zhechong mansions are temporarily set up. Feng and Sheng prefectures account for the vast majority, and Shen, Rou, and Shuo are sparsely populated as auxiliary.

The mansion soldiers grant 150 mu of land to each soldier. If the father and son are both registered in the army, it will be [-] mu. It is very good in the frontier area. They have sufficient economic strength to allow them to train out of production. At the same time, they are also tax-free and exempt. Those who work in corvee can be said to be rich.

If all parts are recruited, there is no doubt that this is a master knight with fiefs and serfs.It is worth mentioning that the frontier states and counties that implement the Fubing system also have professional soldiers, that is, town soldiers.However, the number of people is small, guarding the gates and fortresses, resisting the first wave of enemy attacks, and buying time for the dispatch of government soldiers to the rear.

The approved number of soldiers in the first town is more than 5000, and the number of soldiers in the second town is about 2. The Xinquan Army alone is not enough, so [-] soldiers willing to go to the north were selected from the more than [-] soldiers and horses in the two towns of Zhongwu and Huaixi. , distributed to fields, cattle and sheep, allowed to build houses.

Of course, there are also many people who are unwilling to go to the north, so they will be dismissed, nothing to say.

Yicong, Chishui Second Army, and Zhili Daozhou Army have already mobilized and headed to Ruzhou, ready to suppress at any time—the soldiers and horses of Huaixi and Zhongwu Towns are currently stationed in Ruzhou.

Generally speaking, there were some people who joined the rebellion, but they didn't need to use a large army. The people of the Privy Council and their guards hunted them down.

The soldiers in Huaixi were relatively obedient, and the soldiers of the Zhongwu Army had already been drawn to sevens and eights, and the rest of them couldn't make a big wave.

Still, don't take it lightly.

The emotions of the warriors in the feudal town are very unstable, and there may be moths in the process of going north. Therefore, more than [-] people from the volunteer army will escort them all the way until they are taken over by the Rouzhou camp.Feng and Sheng have Feilong, cavalry, Dingnan and other armies, which are enough to suppress dissatisfaction.

I believe that after a year or so, these people's hearts will be smoothed out, and they will begin to accept the reality, and the risk of rebellion will be greatly reduced.

Shao Shude has a deep understanding of the pros and cons of Fubing.

The advantage is to save money, and at the same time get an army with good combat effectiveness, enough to consolidate the frontier.

The disadvantage is that they can't go on expeditions, and they can't fight too frequently, otherwise they will go bankrupt and flee.

For now, as a defensive force, it is enough for the time being.

The third important business was concerned with the South.

Ma Yin was dissatisfied with the canonization and openly obeyed the Tang Dynasty,

Use the year name of God Bless.

Of course, they are not the only ones who continue to serve the Tang Dynasty. They are all in Hedong, Huainan, Shuzhong, and Guizhou——Chengde, Cangjing, and Yiding have recently seen the attitude of the Daxia court and said that Continue to obey the Tang Dynasty, and the Xia Dynasty is a "pseudo-dynasty".

Interestingly, Wei Bo has not expressed his attitude yet.

After Shao Shude finished his business, he asked Sikong Bing to come in.

"Meet Your Majesty." Shao Shude was very satisfied with Sikong Ti's attitude, but he didn't know if it represented the whole Weibo, or just him.

"Sikong Qing, Luo Shaowei has made up his mind?" Shao Shude asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, the yamen soldiers are unruly and difficult to control, Luo Shuai is determined to get rid of them." Si Kongti replied very simply.

"Oh? What's the method of killing?" Shao Shude asked with interest.

Like Zhu Quanzhong, going to the funeral for his daughter, it is impossible to sneak attack at night, because you can't get in at all.

"Luo Shuai wants to lead an army south to regain Chanzhou, and there may be a big battle then." Sikong Bing said.

Shao Shude laughed.Is this going to kill the yamen soldiers?Before the battle, the coach escaped first?To be honest, this is a bit too much, Luo Shaowei should not do this, because it will cause a large number of casualties of the Weibo Town Army, the State Army and the County Army.

In addition, with Wei Bowufu's current morale, he might not be willing to leave the city for a decisive battle.

"Come on, let me discuss with you how to operate it." The smile on Shao Shude's face became brighter and brighter.

This kind of battle was fought—probably only in the late Tang Dynasty, "a big mistake"...
