Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 539 I'm Going In

The existence of Longchi Palace has greatly changed the economic structure of Anyi County, which can be seen from the lively scene in the first month of the fifth year of Dashun (894).

This place is located in the wild, with beautiful scenery, a magnificent view of the salt pond, and lush mountains and forests, but there are really not many people, and there are no farmlands or villages. It was originally a very deserted place.

If the saint lived in, it might be better. The officials and officials who accompanied him, the servants and concubines who served, and the sergeants who guarded the brigade could make the area around Longchi Palace gather business travelers and make the economy prosperous. Unfortunately, the saint has not come for many years. , until a martial artist called "Lingzhou Shaosheng" by the ignorant people came.

His ostentation looks no less than that of the emperor.

The Longchi Palace has been continuously repaired and expanded, and it is already slightly larger than when it was built at the beginning of the year. The area occupied by the "Shao Sheng" family is not too big, but there are many people working in the office, filling all the halls.

They built many residences outside the palace, and brought their families over one after another, making the vicinity of Longchi Palace more prosperous and lively.

"What a Longchi Palace, what a big show." Tuoba Sijing arrived at the newly built Longchi Station with more than a hundred carriages, but he couldn't find a place to live. As a last resort, he asked someone to set up a tent outside.

Tuoba Yichang is 16 years old this year, and he brings dozens of children from the Tuoba family as guards.

His grandfather Tuoba Sigong died in the Yinshan Grassland, and his father Tuoba Renyou died young. He was almost raised by Tuoba Sijing. He has always regarded him as his grandfather. He practiced martial arts since childhood, and he was still under Tuoba Sijing's instructions After learning the classics of the Han people for ten years, he is actually a generation of Yun Wen Yun Wu.

In fact, he doesn't hate Shao Shude very much.

These days, martial arts fighters are fighting here and there, vying for land and foundation, and some things are too normal.More importantly, he couldn't hate it.

They command 20 troops and cover thousands of miles, why do you hate them?At the beginning, the Tuoba clan could have been exterminated, but they let it go lightly.Now that I think about it carefully, the Tuoba clan has no possibility of separatist Lingxia, and it is not a bad thing to stop this idea early.

The tribe is gone, and the Tuoba clan has now become the Tuoba clan. The descendants of several uncles who bred on the grassland have come back one after another, recognizing their ancestors and returning to the clan. From now on, they will learn from Linzhou Yang's and Fengzhou Wang's, and be honest. Big family on the frontier.As for Zheshi, he has fallen too far behind them, and there is no point of comparison at all.

"Ah Weng, do you want to stay here and meet the King of Lingwu County?" Tuoba Yichang, who had left Xiazhou for the first time, came over and asked.

"Do you want to see, does he want to see you? It's your aunt, alas." In front of his nephew and grandnephew, Tuoba Sijing finally sighed and couldn't help complaining.

Tuoba Yichang's expression also turned ugly.He was raised in his uncle's house since he was a child, and his aunt was very kind to him. To him who lost his parents since childhood, he was almost half a mother.But for so many years, Zheshi's big wife has been refusing to let her aunt in, so much so that she has become a monk now, how can this be tolerated?

Tuoba Yichang suddenly wanted to join the army.Wei Dingli, the military envoy of Guzhen, belonged to the Pingxia Dangxiang Weimu Department. He had been married to the Tuoba clan for generations, and was a vassal of their family in the past.Maybe you can ask him?

Tuoba Yichang buried this idea in his heart, and planned to find an opportunity to raise it with his uncle.

After Tuoba Sijing finished complaining, he went to the motorcade to say hello.

Some family members of middle- and lower-level officials in Lingzhou came with them, basically because of favors, no money was collected or only very little money was collected.

It is impossible to do business without official support.Middle and lower-level officials are often the most troublesome and difficult to deal with. They can earn favors and businessmen flock to them.

The vicinity of Longchi Station has become a large open-air tent market.

The Qiang, Tubo, Gamo, and Dangxiang tribal chiefs from Hewei gathered here, and each of them brought more than ten backs and children. They were free and wrestling and fighting there.

Tuoba Yichang went around and communicated in Dangxiang language and Tubo language, and they could understand each other seven to eight out of ten.

"Tuoba clan? What is the relationship with Tuoba Huaiguang back then?"

"Should not be related. Tuoba Huaiguang is the servant of the maidservant, and has fought with Lun Horai for many years. This Tuoba is the Tuoba clan of Xiazhou."

"How does Tuoba Reconstruction compare with Tuoba Huaiguang? Haha."

The Hewei Fan people, of course, are mainly based in the four prefectures of He, Lin, Wei, and Lan, which are different from the Qin, Cheng, Jie, Xing, and Feng Fan tribes in the east, and also different from the Qingtang Fan people in the west.

In their history, the names of Lun Fear, Shang Maid, and Tuoba Huaiguang are like thunder, who is Tuoba Reconstruction?Are you qualified to compare with them?Even Gao Pian from Qinzhou in the Tang Dynasty was more famous than Tuoba Reconstruction, let alone the descendants of Reconstruction, who are they?
"The ancestor of the Tuoba family in Xiazhou was the royal family of the Later Wei Dynasty. What is Tuoba Huaiguang?" After all, he was young and vigorous, and Tuoba Yichang couldn't help arguing.

The leaders of the Hewei tribe laughed together.

Hengshan Dangxiang, like the Shatuo people, was just a bereaved dog in the Tubo period.

Tuoba Yichang was a little angry, but very powerless.The Tuoba family used to be the co-owners of most of the Pingxia Dangxiang tribes, and the Hengshan Dangxiang, Hexi Dangxiang, and Yinshan Dangxiang were also closely related to them. Maybe there is hope for a great cause?
But it is too late to say anything now, the time has passed, and there is no possibility of rising.

The Tuoba clan who once established the Northern Wei Dynasty will establish the Tuoba clan of Xixia in the future, and even after the fall of Xixia, the Tuoba clan who went to Sichuan to establish a third regime-the Lavi people, "King of Western Wu", "Xixia "King", served as chieftain in the Ming and Qing Dynasties until the Kangxi period, four or five hundred years.

But now there is nothing.Tuoba Yichang sighed deeply, and his desire to make contributions became stronger.

"You bastards are making trouble again?" There was a thunder-like voice not far away, and the leaders of the Hewei tribe who were laughing shut up one after another.

Tuoba Yichang looked around, and saw a warrior with a helmet on and a dozen or so soldiers walking slowly through the tent.His ferocious eyes kept scanning everyone, and those who were caught bowed their heads, not daring to look at each other.

"You have to be like this!" Tuoba Yichang was secretly excited, extremely envious, and the idea of ​​joining the army became stronger.

"The reward will be received in a few days. Whoever dares to make trouble will withhold the reward and not give it away. When the warriors in the clan ask, I will see how you answer." The armored warrior threatened a few words, and said: "Who will make me live a bad life?" New Year, I will let no one pass the New Year."

When he walked past Tuoba Yichang, he glanced at him twice, and then left.

There were panting sounds one after another in the field.

The Hewei tribe, which has been ruled by an iron fist for many years, is not as wild as the Qingtang and Hexi tribes, and they are still very afraid of Shao Sheng in Lingzhou.

Tuoba Yichang observed silently, and found that these people didn't seem to be as united as they seemed internally, and they were not in harmony with each other.Considering that the Longyou Jiedu envoy is Xiao Yu from the Xiao family in Lanling, he is very clear about the means of these Han families. They are divided and disintegrated, and one faction fights the other. It is clear that we cannot always unite.

In addition, the local Shuofang government army and soldiers from various prefectures should have fought several times. The Shuofang army's local rule seems weak and rough, but no one can really overthrow them and replace them.

Minor chaos continued, but there was no major chaos. Elite soldiers suppressed it, organized households to equalize the people, selected young men, and continued consumption. After another ten years, even the minor chaos would disappear.

Tuoba Yichang was not interested in staying any longer, so he returned to the camp.Tuoba Sijing looked at him, then turned to look at the post road.

On the post road, a large group of prairie people in Tsing Yi were passing silently.

There were not many people, about a hundred or so, with nice clothes and good manners, they should be the nobles of the grassland.

The leader was not very old, his weather-sculpted face was full of determination, and he was holding a little girl with black eyes in his arms, looking left and right.

"The Uighurs who went to Longchi Palace to offer horses to the king of Lingwu County." Tuoba Sijing said in a low voice, "Li Renyu from Ganzhou, thousands of tents of his family were moved to Henan."

"There is also the tribe of Uncle Tuoba Renfu..." Tuoba Yichang added from the bottom of his heart.

"The little girl in his arms should be Li Renmei's daughter." Tuoba Sijing sighed, and said, "Ganzhou Uighurs are going to Henan to work their lives."

"It's not just them." Tuoba Yichang also sighed: "It seems that a big war is about to break out. This time it may not be a small fight, and many people will die."

……

"Be prepared for a big battle." In Longchi Palace, Shao Shude was hosting a banquet for the six inspectors and the two leaders of Hengshan.

Weicai clan, Qibi clan, Geshu clan, Zhuanglang clan, Hun clan, Wang clan, Yeli clan, Mozang clan, the heads of the eight major tribes each rushed to Longchi Palace with dozens of relatives.

According to the order, one thousand soldiers will be dispatched each, and they are still on the road at the moment, and have arrived in Weibei.

"The five divisions of Yinshan Mountain have been peaceful for many years. Now the Tatars and Uyghurs on the grassland have not entangled with you, have they?" Shao Shude walked back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.

He doesn't want others to answer him, he just wants others to bend to his will.

Of course, the Tatars, Uighurs, Miaogas and even the Dangxiang tribe on the grassland were not very honest. In fact, they had been competing with the five tribes of Yinshan for grassland and water sources, and wars broke out from time to time.But in terms of scale and intensity, it is indeed much smaller than before. Shao Shude believes that this is due to his Northwest Khan.

"The grassland is fine, and the population is multiplying. If it exceeds a certain number, it will not be good for you." Shao Shude said: "Last year, if you had [-] soldiers, are you going to die?"

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Everyone responded one after another.

"This year, I will send these 1000 people to fight Zhu Quanzhong. Many people may die. Do you have any opinions?"

"No comment! No comment!"

Shao Shude turned around, looked at these prairie guys who were rough on the outside but extremely cunning on the inside, and smiled: "Come on!"

"Master!" Zheng Yong came in to salute.

Everyone in the grassland was startled, and they subconsciously touched their waists, but all the weapons were confiscated, and they panicked for a while.

"Let's move things in."

"As ordered!"

The soldiers brought in many boxes and opened them one by one, and the jewels and jewels immediately dazzled people's eyes.

Gold and silver wares, pearls and jade, and all kinds of brocades were copied from the house of the general in the river that had been cleaned, some of which were awarded to the soldiers who had made great achievements in combat, and the rest he planned to reward to the leaders of the grassland.

"Don't say I'm sending hungry soldiers. These items are divided into one point." Shao Shude said: "It's all yours. I have other preparations for the rewards of the warriors."

"Wuzu is really generous..." Yeli Jingchen casually glanced at the treasure, but he didn't really care about it, but he still pretended to be grateful and said.

"There will be rewards for sweating, and I dare not try my best!"

"Kill Zhu Quanzhong and embrace Da Khan as the emperor."

"The city of Ketun can be built ahead of schedule, and Zhu Quanzhong's wife and daughter can be snatched away to serve the Great Khan day and night."

Shao Shude laughed out loud.

He Yang, I'm coming in.

If Zhu Quanzhong still has a fluke mentality and wants to eat Zhu Xuan and Zhu Jin before going west, then give it a try.
