Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1243 North Exit
On February 2000 of the fourth year of Jianji, after the Spring Festival, the turmoil in Beipingfu, Jizhou, Pingzhou, Zhuozhou, Tanzhou, Guizhou and other places has not yet completely subsided.But the overall situation has long been settled, and the rebellions launched by various states and counties are actually not large in scale.You are ruthless if you can pull up a team of [-] people. Usually, hundreds of rebels are running around, and the various ministries of the imperial army set up checkpoints along the way to suppress them severely.

On this day, Wang He, Tuoba Jin, and Qu Zhu who were intercepting behind the mountain were anxious.No enemy came over for a long time, but they were eating horse chews. Seeing that the food was running out day by day, they felt a lot of panic in their hearts.

They have been in touch with Shanqian and know the local fighting situation.They were amazed by Shao Sheng's surprise attack with the general trend, but at the same time they felt completely bewildered, as if there was only one way to escape.

And they went south to intercept the escape route of Youzhou Fanhu.

From this point of view, those people are actually dead and have no chance.

"It's a waste of time for us to co-author. How will we live after the spring after killing so many livestock?"

"It's not okay to grab something to subsidize the family."

"Since there is nothing wrong, let us go home! No more rewards."

Outside the Ximiyun garrison, the young men under Wang He's tent, the Sanquan inspection envoy, were chattering and disappointed.

What is the most disappointing thing about people who are used to being poor?Lost opportunities to make money.

Now these tens of thousands of people are in such a situation.

Crowds, don't have too high demands on their discipline.It's normal to complain, it's strange not to scold.

"Shut up for me." Wang He rode over and glanced coldly at the demoralized young man of the headquarters.

Behind him was a middle-aged man in a green robe, who seemed to be an official of the imperial court, either from the Li Fan Yuan or the Privy Council.

The man turned a deaf ear to the complaints from the soldiers of the Tibetan Talent Party, and kept urging: "Since spring has begun, Wang Xunjian should go south quickly. The sage set off for the north yesterday, and he will reach Tanzhou in a few days."

"Okay." Wang He didn't talk nonsense, and immediately sent people to various ministries to send a message, and went south to Tanzhou.

After the order was issued, everyone became more interested.The Supreme Khan is generous, he has never been stingy with the gift of meeting, this trip to the south, or the reward of two bolts of silk for each person.

And just as they were going south, thousands of new Fanhu captives had arrived near Beikou Shouzhuo City and began to repair the city.

Beikou Shouzhuo City is under the jurisdiction of Tanzhou, and it was called "Beikou" in the Tang Dynasty, and gradually some people began to call it "Hubeikou".Later, it will be called "ancient" Beikou, that is, Gubeikou.

This is a thoroughfare in the northeast of Youzhou—compared to other mountain trails.

From time to time, envoys from the town of Tanji appear in Youzhou town. Generally speaking, the generals of the town are stationed in Tanzhou, which shows its importance.Gein entered Youzhou from outside the pass, and there were only three roads that looked decent. From west to east, they were Juyongguan Road, Gubeikou Road, and Linyuguan Road.

No matter how stupid the general of Youzhou was, he knew that he should build a city and garrison troops in this place.

In fact, from ancient times to the present, this has been a very important pass.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, there was only Yandun here, which played a warning role.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wu built a city here and competed with the Huns many times.

When the Great Wall was built during the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gubeikou was a pass.

The Great Wall was built in the Sui Dynasty, and a military town was built at Gubeikou.

The Tang Dynasty did not build the Great Wall, but Gubeikou also built a city and stationed troops.

Since the separatist rule of the feudal town, due to the weak grassland, Youzhou has gone northward many times, burning, killing and looting, and Beikou Shouzhu City has been dilapidated.When Khitan became more and more powerful and they felt that it was necessary to repair the customs defense, Youzhou Town perished again.

Now that Shao Shengjian is in Beiping Prefecture, the northern capital, the importance of Gubeikou is once again on the agenda.

Whether it was the captives who had already arrived, or Wang He's troops who went south, they all came to renovate the city. In fact, not only Wang He's troops went south, but Quzhu and Tuobajin also received orders to meet at Beikou.

Shao Shude left Jicheng on the third day of February. That night, he stayed at the Sunhou Pavilion, more than [-] miles northeast of Youzhou.

After dinner, I started to deal with official business.

The first one is about Anton Mansion.

The weather is getting warmer, the Liaohai Sea is open to navigation, and the Ping Navy is mobilizing again.

Their fleet arrived at the estuary of Rushui, and then with the help of the trackers, they went up to Leting County, Pingzhou.

This county has just cleared out more than 1300 households with a population of more than 7000 people.

Sometimes you don't know if you don't check, and you are shocked when you check.There are so many "black households" living in the grasslands and forests of Leting County.

7000 people is not the final number. In fact, the work of registering households has just begun, and who knows how many people will be found out in the end.

Zhao Wang Shao Siwu did his best.He went down to various tribes and villages to supervise the work, and stayed at people's homes at night. The supervising army was full of praise for him, and Shao Shude was also very satisfied after seeing it.

He needs his son to be more capable to share the enormous pressure.Dalang has skills, he is happy, and he is ambitious, as long as it is within the limits, it can be tolerated.

If he doesn't have the slightest ambition, or is extremely timid, and just wants to be a prince who eats and waits to die, this will make him feel extremely disappointed-not only Da Lang, but he thinks this way about all his sons.

The Shaw Dynasty is not yet extravagant enough to raise many salted fish princes.

After the fleet was berthed, they began to ship the Fanhu tribe in batches, and then sailed to Anton Mansion.

Naturally, this process cannot be completely peaceful.

In fact, the closer they got to boarding the ship, the more unstable the emotions of the captives became, so that many troubles arose.

However, the soldiers of the Longwu, Guide, and Qingyi armies were very motivated, and they worked very hard to suppress them, relying on the violence of knives and guns to maintain the entire immigration operation.

It was not just immigrants who boarded the ship, but also warriors. About [-] sergeants matched with [-] immigrants, which happened to be the "staffing" of [-] soldiers.

This transportation process is destined to be very long, and may last for a whole year.Even, many sergeants couldn't wait, and began to return to Lushun by boatmen in batches.

Yes, nearly 5000 members of the Longwu Army and the Guide Army will return to Andong Mansion, and the [-] Qingyi Army will be later.People who were originally reluctant to be government soldiers are not so resistant now. After repeated persuasion, all members of the Guide Army were converted into government soldiers, and most of the Longwu Army were also willing to be government soldiers. He returned to his hometown in Qingzhou to be a farmer and farmer, and he didn't want to go to Anton Mansion.

As for the Qingyi army, there was no need to persuade them, they were willing. Li Cunxiao had nothing to say, and drank all day in Linyu Pass, adding to his worries.

The three armies of Longwu, Guide, and Qingyi succeeded in a "soft landing" and were digested and disposed of. A huge rock fell in Shao Shude's heart—these three small bombs were successfully dismantled.

After approving the first copy, Shao Shude opened the second copy.

This is about Huaihai Daozhou soldiers.

This troop has been on the expedition for a long time, almost reaching the limit that the warriors can tolerate.If it wasn't for the consecutive victories, the generous rewards, and Shao Shude's visit to Youzhou in person, I don't know what would have happened.

Now they are finally allowed to return home, and they can return to the states of Huaihai Road together with the thousands of people who are still in Anton Mansion.

Wang Jiao, the commander of the state army, was promoted again and returned to the imperial army system to serve as the envoy of the right wing of the Wuwei Army.He Yu, the former envoy of soldiers and horses, was too old, so he retired to the second line and became the commander of the Huaihai Daozhou Army.

On the surface, it seems that the two are switching positions, but everyone who understands knows that He Yu is making way for Wang Jiao. Who will let the latter Jane be in the heart of the emperor?

The Huaihai Daozhou Army received an extra reward of one person and two woolen cloths, and went home happily. Naturally, someone needed to take their place.

Shao Shude opened the third memorial and carefully reviewed it.

Du Rangneng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, had already commented on his opinion. Shao Shude looked at it and thought there was nothing wrong with it, so Zhu approved it.

The Huaihai Daozhou Army was replaced by the Guannei Daozhou Army, which dispatched more than [-] people.

This is actually what Shao Shude meant.Guannei Dao has been in peace for many years, and the quality of state soldiers has been declining every year. If they don't pull out to fight a few battles, they may be raised and useless.And if they play well, maybe a few more talents will emerge——Shaluqi's first recruit was Qingzhou state soldiers.

After approving the memorial, Shao Shude read "The Book of Rites of the Great Dai" for a while, and then fell asleep.When he was in the army, he liked reading very much.Otherwise, I would not have known that the "three virtues" mentioned by An Fuqian came from "The Doctrine of the Mean".

At his current level, he might not be able to take the exam, but he had no problem chatting with a group of Jinshi from the Imperial Academy and the Secretary Supervisor.

On the fourth day of February, the army set off for the north.

Before parting, he had some bad taste and ordered to change the name of the Sunhou Pavilion where he lived last night to "Wangjing Pavilion".

This is probably the first time in the history of Youzhou that the name "Wangjing" appeared. It was originally not until the Liao Dynasty.

******
Among the lofty mountains, a large army of nearly [-] people appeared.Mighty and mighty, I don't know its end.

When Shao Sheng went north, he originally brought more than 2 palace guards and more than [-] silver saddle sergeants. When he arrived in Huairou County (now Shunyi District, Beijing), a part of General Tu was brought in, and the whole army went north to Gubeikou with [-] people. .

On the evening of the fifth day of February, I arrived at Guyanzhou.

Yanzhou is a Jumi state, which was originally located in Liaodong, where Su Mo Mo He Tu Di Ji Department was housed.During the reign of Wude in the former Tang Dynasty, Yanzhou Lisuo moved into Youzhou City.During the Kaiyuan period, it was moved to Taogu Mountain, ninety miles northeast of Youzhou, and merged into Youdu County after the Anshi Rebellion—just like Chang’an had Chang’an and Wannian counties, Luoyang had Luoyang and Henan counties, and Beiping City had Ji County and its surrounding counties. Guo's Youdu County.

There were originally tribes in the old land of Yanzhou, which were descendants of the Mohe people, and later some Goguryeo and Xi people mixed in.This time the household registration was cleared, the Yanzhou tribe surrendered relatively quickly, so they were not seriously implicated.

On the first day of February, the imperial court established Shunyi County here, making it the No. 14 county in Beiping Prefecture.

It is worth mentioning that Shunyi County in Daxia is actually in the Huairou District of Beijing in later generations.Huairou County, which was just abolished in Shunzhou, is the future Shunyi District of Beijing.

After leaving Shunyi County (Huairou), it took three days to arrive in Miyun County, Lisuo, Tanzhou.

On the [-]th, they passed through Yanle County, Tanzhou, and finally arrived at Gubeikou.
