Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 601 Three Major Events
It's getting colder.

In the courtyard full of dead branches and fallen leaves, Liu Jishu watched a warrior meditating quietly, not daring to speak.

"Which side are you on?" Shao Shude asked, "Simon family? Han family?"

"Your Majesty, please show us the way." Liu Jishu said with a sad face.

"You helped me with a lot of things before and after." Shao Shude said: "Go to Chengdu to be a supervisor."

Liu Jishu was taken aback.

"Don't understand?" Shao Shude said with a more serious tone, "The imperial court is commanded by the prime minister, and the escort officer of the Shence Army, you go to be a military supervisor."

"Your Majesty, how could Li Maozhen be captured without a fight? The morale of the Shence Army is low, and I'm afraid it will collapse at the first touch." Liu Jishu was a little reluctant, and begged: "Your Majesty, let the servant stay in the capital because he has served the servant for many years."

Shao Shude fell silent.

Liu Jishu has indeed helped him with many things, but in terms of trust, it is still not enough.But then again, should someone check and balance Han Quanhui?
Seeing that Shao Shude didn't speak, Liu Jishu understood that there was something going on, and his face was beaming. He said, "Your Majesty, this servant must be loyal. Han Quan taught this man to be treacherous and vicious, and he wanted to ruin your Majesty's reputation."

"Oh? Tell me." Shao Shude said calmly.

"In the past few days, Wang Yanfan, the envoy of the Sixteenth King's House, is Han Quanhui's lackey. The women sent to serve the king these few days are female cultivators that Wang Yanfan brought from Zhide Temple."

Shao Shude laughed.

The Zhide Temple is a female crown. Xuanzong once visited this temple in Weifu, and he didn't know what was in his mind.

But he was disappointed, the view was not the view of Qing nuns he had imagined, but a female Taoist priest with heavy makeup. He lost all interest, and immediately summoned Song Shukang, a meritorious envoy from Zuojie, to "remove them all", don't choose two men, Abbots hold their views.But at this time, it has changed back to the female crown, because the royal family has needs—not that kind of needs, but many people have the needs of becoming a monk, such as concubines, concubines, princesses, etc.

Playing women's crowns is not a big deal in the imperial court. From the royal family to the bureaucrats, everyone has a soft spot for it, and it can even be said to be an elegant thing.But then again, the women's crown of Zhideguan, unless someone takes the initiative, generally no one dares to play.

"If it's just this matter, Liu Gongjian, please go back, pack up your bags, it probably won't take a few days." Shao Shude threatened.

"Your Majesty, please calm down." Liu Jishu immediately said, "There is one more thing. The saint intends to send the kings out of the town, but Han Quanhui did not stop him."

From an institutional point of view, Han Quanhui has no power to stop it. If it is based on strength, it can indeed be stopped.

"I see." Shao Shude nodded, and said, "Forget it, since you have been more submissive over the years, let me be the lieutenant of the Shence Right Army."

Han Quanhui was a lieutenant of the Zuo Army and an envoy to watch the army. The country respected the left, and the strength of the left army must be stronger than that of the right army.But the lieutenant of the Youjun is still a sweet pastry, a position of real power that should not be underestimated.

Liu Jishu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty."

"You and Han Quanhui, I don't care what happens in private, but if you undermine each other in public, it will ruin my big business, and you know the consequences."

"It's okay, I won't miss anything."

"Then go back quickly. Someone will contact you about the matter of taking charge of the right army." Shao Shude said: "As soon as possible to rectify the Shence Army, why is the Nan Ya Bei Division still procrastinating?"

"Follow your Majesty's orders." Liu Jishu left happily.

"Marshal, this kind of eunuch has no moral integrity, and that's all it needs." Chen Cheng walked over with a smile on his face: "It's good to be a watchdog."

"Chen Changshi still likes to play people." Shao Shude said with a smile: "How are things going?"

"It's all here." Chen Cheng handed over a stack of copied forms.

Well, the seal was copied from Zhengshitang.The sage had just entered the capital, and the congratulations by all the officials were over, and then several prime ministers rushed to work, because someone was staring at him—Shi Chen Cheng, the head of the Xia Palace, drank tea at the door, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Under the door... don't think about it again as an official, learn the six secrets of the Ao, and explore the three ambitions. You have the essentials of Ziyu to manage the army, and you have the heart of the young minister to support the soldiers... It is a sea corner, and the ground is more than the vulgar. Every time you think about the seal , especially in Fu'an... You should honor the seven virtues here, and be friendly to your neighbors. Stay up late to encourage martial arts, and work hard to improve military and political affairs. To be successful in the Promised Land, to serve my court. Encourage precepts, and honor Jue's order."

This is a book, drafted in the name of the emperor, and roughly writes down the mission requirements.In addition, there are official official seals, festivals, guards of honor and other certification documents, which are issued together.

"Haiyu" and "Yuesu" clearly indicate the location.The imperial court also gave a general policy, that is, "peace the peace" and "good neighborliness", and at the same time "encourage martial arts" and "repair military and political affairs", basically everything that should be said.

The mountains are high and the roads are far away, the situation is complicated, and it is impossible for the imperial court to give detailed instructions, so it can only be explained in this way.

The Jiedu envoy of the Jinghai Navy, and the envoy of Annan's observation and disposal, and Annan's guardian, led the eleven prefectures of Jiao, Lu, Feng, Ai, Huan, Chang, Zhi, Yan, Fulu, Wu'an, and Wu'e, and governed Jiaozhou.

The name of the town is Annan. In the seventh year of Xiantong, after Gao Pian recovered, he ordered to set up an army and gave the military title "Jinghai".

Jinghai eleven states were relatively stable at the beginning.Even after experiencing the Anshi Rebellion, the separatist rule of the Central Plains, the rebellion, and the rebellion, Annan has always been relatively peaceful.

The first rebellion was in the sixth year of Zhenyuan of Dezong (790). Because of the death of Jinglue, his Li Yuandu and Hu Huaiyi made a rebellion. Even at this time, Jiaozhou is still a good place with relatively prosperous household registration, while Qiongzhou and Yazhou are daunting places of exile.

The second time was in the 17th year of Zhenyuan (801), when Annan barbarian Du Yinghan rebelled, and Zhao Chang became the governor of Annan, and the barbarians were all flat.Ten years later, Zhao Chang returned to Beijing to serve as the son of the state to sacrifice wine. Jiaozhou Prefecture will expel Pei Tai, the new economic envoy, and Zhao Chang will be appointed as the economic envoy again.

In the 14th year of Emperor Xianzong Yuanhe (819), Annan army rebelled and killed Li Xianggu, the governor of Tangzhou. Gui Zhongwu, the governor of Tangzhou, was appointed as Annan's governor and economic envoy.

In the second year of Wenzong Taihe (826), Annan's army was in chaos, and the capital was expelled to protect Han Yue.

In the third year of Wuzong's Huichang (843), the generals enlisted Wuhun soldiers to repair the city. The soldiers were angry and rioted, burned the city towers, robbed the treasury, and the supervising army Duanshi was in charge.

Later, Nanzhao captured it, and Gao Pian regained it.

Shao Shude thought carefully, this is a "normal" Datang feudal town!
There are well-developed Dazhou counties, remote prefectures and counties with a majority of barbarians, and arrogant soldiers with my Tang characteristics...

These days, there are no feudal towns that have been in chaos. Is it my Datang feudal town?reasonable?

In Annan Town, the number of disturbances is so small, it can be said to be obedient.This may have something to do with its weak military strength. Some Jiedu envoys led a thousand people to take office, and they firmly controlled Jiaozhou, and based on this, they controlled the surrounding counties.

"Mo Zaisi has [-] soldiers, let him take all of them to the post, it won't work if there are no reliable people around him." Shao Shude ordered.

It is a qualitative leap for Mo Zaisi to suddenly rise to the commander-in-chief with a capital head, and he should be ecstatic.

Historically, An Youquan, a Sogdian, happily took office and served as Jiedushi for eight years.Until the emperor was robbed by Zhu Quanzhong to Luoyang, Dugushang was appointed as the governor of the Jinghai Navy, and the edict was sent to Jiaozhou, but Dugushang was killed by Zhu Quanzhong.

It's actually a great place.

The eight counties in Jiaozhou, with a population of [-], are well developed.This is the Zhengzhou of the Tang Dynasty, not a Jimi state, nor a barbaric state, and it is quite rich.

After skipping this one, Shao Shude looked through the next few.

He was promoted to the observation envoy of Rongguan as the Jiedu envoy of the Ningyuan Army, and he served more than ten prefectures such as Lingrong, Bai, and Lao.

The current Jiedushi is He Ding, known for his literary name.

This person is still very loyal to the imperial court. In history, Zhu Quanzhong killed the king, and He Ding "commanded all the sons to be loyal to everything".

Such a literati should be an observer. There are still many barbarians in the territory, and it is uncertain to surrender, but it is also amazing that he can persuade him with his mouth. All worship and weep, and lead the people to return to farming." In the end, He Ding took office and never rebelled.

Shao Desheng, Marquis of Yu, the capital of the Feng'an Army, served as the envoy of the Ningyuan Army.

Shao Desheng was Saburo, a personal soldier in the Xicheng era. To be honest, his military ability was limited. He could command thousands of people to the top, and he was not capable of being a general.Letting him serve as Jiedu envoy can be regarded as a wealth and honor, and there is an explanation.

Shao Desheng has four sons, all young, and they all stay in Anyi this time.Shao Shude granted him permission to study in Longchi Palace. When he becomes an adult, if he has talent, he will naturally reuse it.

The jurisdiction of the Ningyuan Army is roughly in the Yulin and Beihai areas of Guangxi in later generations.

The Jing Navy is roughly located in northern Vietnam, southern Guangxi, and parts of southeastern Yunnan in later generations.

In fact, the old Lingnan Road had a total of "five managements", namely, Guiguan (Guilin and Liuzhou), Yongguan (Nanning and Qinzhou), Rongguan (Yulin and Beihai), Guangguan (Guangdong) and Annan. Formed Lingnan Road.

With the deepening of the development of Wuguan, they all set up feudal towns and Jiedushi later, and some also set up troops and gave them military titles.

For example, Yongguan set up a town, named Lingnan West Road, but did not set up an army; Guangguan set up a town, named Lingnan Dongdao, and gave the military title "Qinghai"; Annan set up Jinghai; Rongguan was promoted to Ningyuan Army, and Guiguan was named Jingjiang military.

In the five-management area, Shao Shude pays more attention to food, and only takes Jing Haijun and Ning Yuanjun as two towns.

The imperial court intends to leave the town of Lingnan West Road with Li Sizhou, the heir of Tan Wang, and Shao Shude acquiesces.

He left the town of Guangzhou with his heir King Xue, Zong Zhengqing and Li Zhirou, and acted as the envoy of the Qing Navy on behalf of Liu Chonggui.

Li Jiepi, the king of Yan, went out of Guizhou to serve as the envoy of the Jingjiang Army.

The observation envoy of Shengqianzhong was Wutai Army, and Li Zi, the king of Tong, was the envoy of Jiedu.

These appointments were actually written in a document, and Chen Cheng asked someone to copy them separately.

"The sage is in a hurry!" Shao Shude sighed, "The court can still give orders to these places. But in a few years, the local generals and local tyrants will come to realize that they may not be able to control them anymore."

In short, the southern towns have always been obedient.But no matter how obedient they are, there is a limit. Now that some places have come to their senses, they know that the imperial court is no longer good, such as Jiangxi, Hunan, and Fujian. He continued to make offerings to the court to maintain his dignity.

It will be a matter of time for places like Wuguan and central Guizhou.

If you make a move now, you can still use the brand of the imperial court. Two years later, the situation will be difficult to say.

"Let Shao Desheng recruit 2000 elite soldiers to go south, and when they arrive in Xiangyang, Zhao Kuangning selects [-] elite soldiers to help them," Shao Shude said.

"Of order." Chen Cheng replied.

Since entering Beijing, the first important thing is to install manpower, which has been steadily progressing, and there should be no major problems.

The second major event was to send people out of the town's fifth management, which was also done.

The next thing is the third thing. It probably won’t work if it involves Shuzhong, but I still want to try.
