Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1303 Report and Jiangxi

The brush keeps writing in circles on the imperial calendar.

Especially at night, when he had to discuss with the officials of the Privy Council and the six ministries whether to add the imperial army, Shao Shude circled it with a red pen and wrote: the annual fee for adding an army is 60 yuan?

60 is two big Arabic numerals, and a question mark and two exclamation marks are added at the end, showing Shao Sheng's tangled mood.

Before going to sleep at night, he also summoned Li Shouxin, the son of Li Hang, and sent him to Liangzhou.

On this point, Shao Shude couldn't help but spit again: The border generals are greedy and violent?Last year they paid a lot of tribute, but this year they will turn back. It's hard to believe!If there is nothing wrong with the border generals, all the chieftains of the tribe will be killed, and the rest will be sent to Nanyang, so they must be dealt with carefully!

After these imperial calendars are used up, they will all be sent for archiving.

The historians who wrote "Jin Shang Shi Lu" should have a lot of fun, because they can peek into the inner world of the sage from many details.

After putting down the writing brush, the palace servants brought over the lunch.

Shao Sheng moved to a small table next to him, and while eating, he listened to the palace official's report.

"If the imperial court orders the two Zhejiang provinces to attack Changzhou immediately, what will King Qian say?" Shao Shude asked again.

Shao Shude put down his chopsticks.

"Annan came to report that Mo Zaisi, the king of Jiaozhi County, died of illness, and there is an undercurrent in the town." Xie continued to read.

At this time, he thought of the university admission quotas in various provinces and regions in later generations, which were also artificially designated.

"A sycophant!" Shao Shude said with a smile, "Write it down, and give the Privy Council some advice so that they can warn Li Bai that if I see him again with these empty words and clichés, he will be fined for one year. Seeking truth from facts, how many times have you said it? Guan Neizhou Army Why couldn’t we fight before? Why can we fight now? Of course there are reasons for war experience, isn’t there other factors? Li Bai’s cronies are like shit. Think about it carefully."

"Zhong Chuan..." Shao Shude sighed.The previous generation will be leaving the stage one by one.

But there are no ifs in life, and there is no way to start again. The youth is gone, and there is nothing to do.

"My father is delighted that Yang Ni is about to return to the west." Qian Chuanjuan replied.

These people went to Annan, and according to their past style, they may not be honest.However, considering the existence of a large number of local indigenous people, their choices are actually very limited, and they can only unite around Jiedushi.

"Seeing Xingmi lingering on the sick bed, what does King Qian say?" Shao Shude asked.

"Your Majesty, please worry about me." Qian Chuanjuan said, "You are still in good health."

"Brother Yi is also an outstanding person of a generation, alas." Shao Shude sighed, and said: "Keep watching. If he dies, I will immediately go to Hedong."

Shao Sheng is a genuine martial artist. Among so many founding monarchs throughout the ages, he should be more fond of martial arts.It can even be said to be the one who has persisted in practicing martial arts for the longest time.

Shao Shude smiled and said, "It's not that fast. It was just a joke."

Liu is the concubine of Jin, and Zhang is the wife of Li Kuangchou, both of whom are Ke Yong's favorite wives and concubines.Being taken care of by the two of them shows that Ke Yong's condition has become serious to a certain extent.

"Pass down the decree, to use Jiaozhou marching Sima Chu Shenyi as the Jiedu envoy." Shao Shude said: "Recruit three thousand warriors from the Linshuo palace servants and send them to Jiaozhou. If you want to bring your family to go south with you, you will be given ten strings of money and silk Twenty horses. To Jiaozhou, there will be a commander for the field house."

Lunch is very "unhealthy": chicken soup, salted fish, lamb chops, corn rice, fruits and vegetables.

"Continue." Shao Shude said.

In the state of separatism in the feudal town, the first concern of any leader is always the interior, that is, there must be no second person who threatens him inside.

It is not very scientific to draw a separate north-south list.Because a single "south" or "north" is very large, and the internal differences are also large.But if you divide too finely, do you have the administrative ability to implement it?How many places are there in one channel, and how are they distributed?Population has increased or decreased, is it necessary to change accordingly?

Historically, when European colonists went to West Africa, they were overwhelmed by malaria, but the local blacks had some kind of anemia gene, which made them naturally resistant to this disease.

"Boom!" The epee slashed at the dummy, sending sawdust flying everywhere.

Mo Zaisi suffered from a serious illness many years ago and almost didn't survive it.The local medical officer couldn't even figure out what was wrong with him, it was very painful.

This is a dilemma.

Qian Liu was the King of Yuhang County conferred by the Xia Dynasty, so Shao Shude called him "King Qian" to show his closeness.

In fact, Annan Township has already recruited troops in the interior twice, and the second time even children from the Chu family and the Qi family went there to act as generals and suppress the ambitions of the local separatist forces.

Shao Shude nodded, indicating that he understood.

There are certainly contradictions among the colonists, but in the eyes of outsiders, all colonists should die, so why do people care about your contradictions?
"Students from the Annan Tu nationality, those who are talented can be selected as palace guards, and I will give 20 posts. Sandu Guozijian will recruit [-] children from the Annan gentry to enroll. Next year's scientific examination..." Shao Shude paused at this point.

Qian Chuanjuan was the court envoy sent by Qian Liu to Beiping, and he brought a large amount of goods, worth tens of thousands of dollars, and he was very generous.In addition, dozens of students from Zhejiang Province came along with them, preparing to take the scientific examination next spring.

Xie ordered the female historian to record it.

"Yes." Mrs. Xie replied, and the female history has already written vigorously.

If things were reversed, Qian Liu would probably do the same.Because the assassins under him are actually not direct descendants, many of them are old people from Dong Chang's time.

This is actually the main reason why he came to Peking.As for the New Year's greetings, just send any official over here. Does Qian Chuanjue need to go out in person?
"Have you heard about Ma Yin? Will he send troops to Jiangxi?" Shao Shude asked.

He subconsciously wanted to help Annan's students "cheat" and let them get one or two Jinshi exams, but the rules are very strict now, and he can't openly destroy them.

But he doesn't seem to be very loyal to Tang Shi.I heard that they are preparing for the enthronement ceremony recently, and they are planning to proclaim themselves emperor and establish a country.

After the system of copying papers with obscure names came out, the attractiveness of Daxia's scientific examinations became stronger and stronger, and the number of people from the southern towns who came to take the examinations increased sharply, and the situation was quite good.

When he was young and ignorant, he believed that the national examination should be unified, and the marks should be drawn strictly, no matter where the students admitted were from.When he was a little older, he knew that in such a big country, it would not work.In some places, due to factors such as education, tradition, economy, and social level, the overall quality of students is relatively low. If competition is released, the disadvantages are huge and must be taken care of.

The king of Yuzhang County is Zhong Chuan.

Shao Shude originally planned to send some surrendered troops to go to Rongzhou by way, but seeing Shao Desheng's appearance, he was worried whether he would be able to hold on.If it doesn't work, just replace it.

Their efforts have worked to a certain extent.However, according to the information that has been sent successively over the years, the trend of localization in Annan states is still going on, but the speed has been greatly slowed down.

It is said that Wang Rong has more than 1000 wives and concubines, and his spectrum is bigger than his own.The most outrageous thing is that he remembered an anecdote that Guo Wei's second wife was once Wang Rong's concubine.But at this time, she should be still young, and she has not been selected into the palace by Wang Rong.

Sometimes, they even rode out on horseback, bent their bows and set arrows, and practiced.

The first day of October is the first day of October.On this day, the grain has been harvested and winter is coming. The northerners will eat "Ma Geng Dou Rice" and hold grand sacrifices.

Shao Shude put down the mutton chops in his hand, and asked, "Has the envoy of the Jiaozhou court come this year?"

Like Zhu Quanzhong and Yang Xingmi, there are really very few people who regard the long swordsman as a decisive force.

No more wine, meat and fish are available for every meal.But Shao Shude's body is still very well-proportioned, there is an equipment rack outside the hall, and he is very proficient in every weapon on it, and he can play tricks from time to time.

"How is King Qian?" Shao Shude tossed the long sword, Xia Luqi caught it firmly and put it into the equipment rack.

Some people don't care about this false name, as long as they can actually separate themselves.But some people are upset, such as Ma Yin.He was dissatisfied with not getting the title of the prince, and angrily enshrined the Tang family, still using Tianyou as his reign title.

This may also be one of the reasons why many feudal towns do not have a strong desire for external expansion. Jiedu envoys want to entrust the conquered territories to the generals, and their own income is limited. On the contrary, they may raise white-eyed wolves. Why bother?
Qian Liu in this time and space is not so floating yet.The elite troops like Wu Yongdu, mainly Cai people, were not allowed to repair the city walls or dig ditches, and the town was generally stable and peaceful.

"Since the Daozhou army in Guannei went out to fight, they have gone through many battles, and now they are quite organized and brave to fight.

"I heard that the king of Yuzhang County is not in good health, what does King Qian say?" Shao Shude beckoned, and two warriors came over to unarm him.

At the age of 48, he is still waving his long sword endlessly.

Based on his limited knowledge, Shao Shude guessed that it was probably a common tropical disease, and the locals had a certain ability to resist it, but outsiders did not.

"The Weisheng army selected thousands of elite soldiers from the Eastern Han Dynasty and sent them to Annan..."

"Tomorrow, I will add an agenda. I want to talk to the prime ministers of the Political Affairs Hall to discuss the ranking of the imperial examinations." Shao Shude said.

Qian Chuanjuan watched silently from the side.

"News from Jinyang, the King of Jin hasn't shown his face since the millet feast was held for the staff of the shogunate on the first day of October. Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Zhang took care of him at home. The affairs of the shogunate are handled by Li Xiji, Feng Dao, Li Luoluo and Li Sizhao who returned from Daizhou dealt with it. If it is really difficult to make self-determination, Fang will go to the mansion to hear about it."

Shao Shude pondered for a moment.

When Shao Shude founded the country, several people were canonized at the beginning, such as Qian Liu, Zhong Chuan, Wang Shenzhi, Ma Yin, Zhao Kuangning and so on.

To put it bluntly, they are colonists.

"Wait!" Shao Shude said: "The property in Wang Rong's other hall has been checked clearly, put in the treasury, and used as a reward. Concubine Ji sent it to Beiping, let me have a look, and then distributed it to the meritorious soldiers."

Shao Shude directly asked him to come to the equipment field.

These canonizations only have titles, no eunuchs, and like many county kings and princes canonized in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, "only reach the body", that is, only one generation.

"My father is worried that the Huai people will take the opportunity to attack Jiangxi, and he is quite worried." Qian Chuanjue replied.

When Zhenzhou is conquered, the family property accumulated by the five generations and six commanders of the Wang family must be carefully counted.

Mrs. Xie quickly ordered the female historian to write it down.

After fighting for so long, it would be a great loss not to get some money back.

Qian Chuanjuan was suffocated, but quickly reacted, and quickly replied: "I wish to respect the order of the imperial court."

Shao Shude continued to eat.

"The Wuwei Army broke through Zhaozhou, looted Wang Rong's villa, and captured hundreds of his concubines."

"Here, I brought a lot of presents." Mrs. Xie replied: "Jiang Zhiwei, the officer in charge, asked the imperial court to send troops to guard it. There will be changes if it is too late."

When you expand abroad, who is it cheaper?Monarchs will naturally have their own judgment.

******
After practicing epee for a while, Qian Chuanjuan arrived.

"According to Zhong Chuan, Ma Yin planned to attack the Ningyuan Army and kill Puning County King Shao Desheng." Qian Chuanlong said: "A few years ago, the Ningyuan Army had internal strife and suffered serious damage. It was also attacked by Liu Yin of the Qing Navy and suffered losses. It is very serious. Ma Yin probably wants to seize this place and eliminate hidden dangers in the rear."

"Let my son Chengjie dispatch five thousand soldiers from the middle of Shu, and go to Annan by way. If you are willing to bring your family with you, the reward will be the same as before."

The sage's comments on all memorials will be returned to the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council for their disposal.

In fact, Shao Desheng's life was not easy.The ability to control was a bit weak, and there were more than one internal strife.The most important thing is that it is possible for internal thieves to collude with external thieves.The three states were taken away by Liu Yin last time, but they have not been able to get them back.Later, because of Ma Yin's threat, Liu Yin made friends with him again, but he did not return the territory.

The legacy of the former Tang Dynasty must be carefully cared for.Once the Annan people's independent ambition sprouted, it would cost a lot to suppress it.

With this kind of weapon, there are not many good people, and even fewer people dare to use it.A vassal town has survived and trained a capital as an elite army to supervise the war.

In history, when Qian Liu conscripted soldiers to do military labor, the soldiers were furious and directly rebelled.This rebellion almost destroyed Qian's foundation.What did Yang Xingmi do at the critical moment?He ordered Xuanzhou Inspector Tian Yu to retreat, otherwise he would crusade. At the same time, he married his daughter to Qian Chuanyu, the son of Qian Liu.

Li Ke used to not do this kind of thing before.Do it now because he's woken up.

"Commander Li Baizuo of the Daozhou Army in Guannei..."

Of course he knew that the relationship between Qian Liu and Yang Xingmi was far from being a deadly rival on the surface.

His amount of practice is beyond the reach of ordinary martial arts, because they don't have this condition.

"King Qian has to worry more about the matter in Jiangxi. If there is any change in the Huai people, there is no doubt that he will send troops to attack them immediately. At that time, Wang Shi will also leave the counties in the east of Han Dynasty and go down to Jiangzhou. The two sides will attack, and the Huai people will be beaten. Go back." Shao Shude ordered.

"Your Majesty is wise." Qian Chuanjuan was overjoyed when he heard that.

This was the purpose of his coming to Peiping. He was worried that after Yang Wu won Jiangxi, his strength would increase greatly, and the two Zhejiang would no longer be able to confront each other.Now I finally got a definite security guarantee, very good, very good!
Seeing him like that, Shao Shude also smiled.

He will not devote too much energy to the south now. He only has one principle, to maintain the status quo until he is free.
