Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1181 Taishan Palace

On the outskirts of Licheng County, Qizhou, Wang Quan personally directed his masters to clean up the palace.

This palace has little regulations, it was built last year, and it was rebuilt on the basis of an inn. It was just completed a year ago, and it will be decorated and cleaned. After some cleaning, people can live in it——Taishan Palace is a saint from all over Qizhou The palace built urgently by the Northern Tour.

Wang Quan has been in Qizhou for two or three years.

The reason was that his son Wang Jiao became the commander of the Qizhou State Army. After repeated persuasion, he moved here with his family from the countryside of Huizhou.After his son went to Yanzhou to serve as the commander of the capital, Wang Quan didn't bother to move. Even if he wanted to move, he would go to Yunzhou, Wang Quan's hometown.

Because the cheap son was promoted repeatedly, Wang Quan had a high status in Licheng County. At the age of fifty, he actually became a township head and led a whole township.

Taishan Palace was built by conscripts from Quanzhou masters. The men Wang Quan led were the last batch of soldiers on duty. It was very easy, with only a little cleaning and moving some furniture left.

During the sage's northern tour, the first stop was Taishan Palace in Qizhou.Wang Quan was a little puzzled, Li Chengling tried to curry favor with him, and said some inside information, that is, the sage would personally command the war against Hebei here.

Of course, directing in person is just talking.The saint is in charge, and most likely it is only the initial strategy of marching troops, that is, the idea of ​​using troops in a battle, the response to the situation, and the specific command is still the responsibility of the frontline generals. From the current point of view, it is rumored that Ge Congzhou, the envoy of the Longxiang Army, served as the platoon envoy. I don't know if it's true or not.

"This palace is too small, the sage is wronged to live there." Wang Quan walked around the palace and sighed.

The surrounding environment of Taishan Palace is not bad.There are mountains, forests, water pools, and farmland. It looks more comfortable, but the place is a bit small.

The second son, Wang Yong, opened his mouth wide when he heard the words, and said in shock, "Father, this palace can accommodate hundreds of people, how small is it?"

"What do you know!" Wang Quanzuo said, "My family is today thanks to the sage. Dalang has been appointed as the commander of the Huaihai Road, and he has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. This majesty, tsk tsk, I didn't dare to do it before." think."

Wang Yong was also very envious when he heard it.It's a pity that he studied literature. After graduating from Huizhou, he wasted many years, and the highest was only in Wulan County Prison. He was not even an official, but a small official.After the whole family arrived in Qizhou, he became the secretary of Licheng County. Although he was still an official, he ranked high, and Licheng is a state government, which is quite good.

"Every time I see Dalang, I have to tell him to fight hard for the saint." Wang Quan said, "Whoever dares to rebel will have his dog's head chopped off. The saint will not treat you badly. After beating the Khitan, we will fight again." It's all right to go to the imperial army to take charge of the soldiers. It's not a problem to mess around in the state army."

"Ye Li Kecheng was also a general of Yunzhou back then, and now he is in the forbidden army. Brother should also have a chance." Wang Yong said.

Wang Quan glanced at his silly son.

Yeli Kecheng is already married to Princess Heyang, so it's different for him to be the son-in-law.However, he is confident that if his son can make military exploits in the Anton Mansion, he will be promoted to the Forbidden Army and other trivial matters, after all, he was from the Forbidden Army before.

"Commander Wang." Several horsemen came from a distance, and after an official dismounted, he saluted far away.

Wang Quan saw that it was Li Hongren, governor of Qi Prefecture, and hurriedly replied, "Li Changshi."

Li Hongren is the son of Li Shao, the former Baiquan County Bo, who was transferred to the post of governor of Qizhou in the first month of this year.He also has a brother, Li Huai, whom Wang Quan knows, and he is still the governor of Huizhou.

"Mr. Zhang asked me to see what else needs to be added to Taishan Palace." Li Hongren said, "What do you think Commander Wang?"

"Actually, there is nothing to add. The post field of the old post station may be expanded to include the wasteland next to it. While there is still time, plant some grass." Wang Quan said: "Just go to the farmer to find it. The sages, officials, and imperial concubines need to raise some livestock for supplies.”

"It's still Commander Wang who is thoughtful." Li Hongren smiled, and then ordered his followers to do so.

Some farmers in Qizhou now implement the three-crop crop rotation system, so it is not difficult to find some pasture.

Agriculture and animal husbandry are developed simultaneously in the Central Plains, which is quite different from that on the grasslands.The pasture on the grassland is sparse, with a large piece of sand in the middle, and there are all kinds of pasture, which is very messy.In the Central Plains, grass is planted like grain, with extremely high density, and leguminous grass with rhizobia, which has the effect of fixing nitrogen and fertilizing the field. The seeds have also been screened and cultivated, which is not comparable to that of grasslands.

Li Hongren asked people to look for pasture, but it was actually the Dawan alfalfa that had been bred and selected. The yield was extremely high, and it could be cut four or five times a year. enough.

"There is still a lack of palace people in the Taishan Palace." Wang Quan said again: "The sage is an old man who is busy with all kinds of affairs every day, and he is exhausted. How can we not serve him well?"

"This is inappropriate." Li Hongren said with a smile: "The sage brought the palace servants here, and I will arrange it without authorization. It is not appropriate."

Wang Quan felt a little regretful.He really wanted to stuff his little daughter into Taishan Palace to serve the saint, but what a chance, what a chance.

"Nanshan in front of the palace, do you want to clean it up? Saints love to hunt, if there are thieves hiding in the mountains, big trouble will happen." Wang Quan said again.

"Mr. Zhang will confiscate tens of thousands of people from all counties and townships in a few days to go into the mountains to suppress them. They will not let a single inch of land go, and they will search carefully." Li Hongren said: "Even if there are bandits and bandits hiding, this time It's going to be bloody bad luck."

Wang Quan laughed and said: "Some thieves committed crimes and hid in the mountains, but they were hunted down by tens of thousands of people. It's really bad luck."

Originally, it was just stealing something and beating someone. It was a minor crime, and I was afraid of being locked up by the government, so I hid in the mountains to avoid the limelight, but was searched and suppressed by tens of thousands of townspeople. Don't you think it's unlucky?

"The saint loves to play polo, so he should level the entire field." Wang Quan suggested again.

Li Hongren slapped his thigh and said: "I almost forgot about this." Immediately ordered his followers to deal with it quickly.

Wang Quan watched from the side, secretly sighing.

What the sage thought and didn't think of, others have considered for him.This is the most addictive power in the world. No wonder warriors would rather abandon their wives and children than continue to toss about it. How can ordinary people enjoy this rich and gentle town?
******
On April [-]th of the third year of Jianji, Zhang Yanqiu, the governor of Huaihai Road, came to Qizhou in person.

"Where is Shengjia?" Zhang Yanqiu inspected the six counties of Quanquan Prefecture, and dismounted outside Taishan Palace for a while.

"Already arrived in Huazhou." The commander of the governor and guard army replied.

The first stage of the saint's northern tour will follow the route of last year's east tour, first to Huaihai Road, and after Hebei has a clue, most of them will cross Hebei and go to Hebei in a serious manner.

According to the previously circulated news, Shengjia left Dingdingmen in Luoyang on the second day of April and traveled all the way east. He will reach Huazhou, and the speed is quite fast. After all, he is marching inside and does not need to build a strong camp every day.

"Well, we can arrive in Yunzhou by the end of the month, and we can arrive at Taishan Palace at the beginning of next month." Zhang Yanqiu nodded and said, "The peasants from all the prefectures are not allowed to disband, and they are still practicing strictly to prepare for deployment. You Run it yourself, and be sure to spread it to every state."

"Of order." The commander replied.

Zhang Yanqiu opened the book in his hand again.

During this northern tour, the goal was directly at Cangjing, and everything else was incidental.

"The king has eight appearances, his sons raise all the people, and the benevolence that hides the flaws and filth, and the virtue of forbidding violent soldiers... Lu Yanwei always makes crazy plans, don't start treacherous schemes, he will go to Dizhou in the south, and see Weibo in the west .Human being rude, the crime is the greatest crime... When I first caressed the world, I was really at ease. I once ordered my servant to write a letter, and ordered him to think about it and correct it. Zai Wei caress the emperor, dare to neglect Han Hong. The near is evil and chaotic. What's more, they sent treacherous people to recruit troops to the front ranks, and uttered demonic words to confuse the inner beings. They also issued ultimatums, which have become border troubles..."

"The officers and men of Cangjing, if there are those who can promote loyalty and kill the leader of the canal, first the officials below the sixth rank will be awarded the fourth-rank official officials, and first the fifth-rank and above officials will be awarded super prizes at the festival level. Still give Zhuang Each house has one district, with [-] guanwen of money, and it will be used as a pet. If you can lead the soldiers and horses under your control to surrender from the state and county, you will be given [-] guan in money. Officials will still be rewarded with five thousand coins. Those who have surrendered in one body will also be rewarded with money and silk. If Qi Yanwei can realize righteousness and repent, return to the court with his body tied up, and wash the snow with him, he will still be favored and rewarded..."

"In the play, the ominous weapon is rather used in fighting. The innocent people, how can they bear to fall into the charcoal? Will be hanged and felled, cherish the feelings, encourage the merits of salvation, and do not cause harm to the barbarians. Although the army must be Zhen, there is no loss in the way of kingship, and all military officials should empathize with my wishes, and announce them inside and outside, so that they can know."

"What's the use of writing "Discussing Lu Yanwei's System"!" Zhang Yanqiu put away the book, and said with a wry smile: "They are all low-born and murderous talents. Don't be afraid of killing them. Killing them will not work."

Lu Yanwei is obviously not as strong as Cheng De, but he is even more arrogant than Wang Rong. While robbing the benefits of the clam stack and salt pond, he plundered Dizhou, and sometimes went west to plunder Weibo, and even robbed Le'an County King. Wealth, causing anger and resentment, it is true that there is something wrong with the brain.

Those soldiers under him are not good birds either.All of them were cruel and tyrannical, specializing in looting and insulting women, and Dizhou was made into a mess by them, making it miserable.Even the three prefectures of Cang, Jing, and De in the management were severely affected by them.

Expect these people to take the initiative to surrender?I'm afraid it's a little difficult.

But this is not a bad thing for the warriors.If the enemy surrenders as soon as you come, isn’t that coming in vain?Only if the enemy does not surrender can there be military exploits to be gained.

In fact, Zhang Yanqiu also wanted to go to war a little bit.

In the past many years, he has been leading troops to various places, and there are very few opportunities to fight.The position of governor of Huaihai Road was also given to him by a saint, but he was actually not qualified-he had enough qualifications, but his credit was not enough.

If you can get a chance to fight this time, it would be great.It's a pity that all the elite state soldiers were taken away by that boy in Wangjiao, leaving more than 1 people, who are not very good at fighting, a little troublesome.

If it didn't work, he asked the sage to let him take the Tutuan peasants to attack the city.It's a pity for the elite of the imperial army to spend their time under the strong city. This matter has to be ordered by the humble Xiangyong.

I'm afraid I won't even have this chance.

Hehuangfan soldiers, Jiangling soldiers, Xingyuan soldiers, Qizhou soldiers, and Longjian soldiers numbered nearly 3.Unless these people are almost beaten, the saint will not stop.

It was so difficult to fight a war, which he never expected.
