Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 314

The battle to determine the fate of Lanzhou ended in just one morning.

Because the Li family who was beaten away was not considered the ruler of Lanzhou at all. In history, they had never even played Wang Tinghan of the Wang family of Jincheng.

At this moment, Ma Shacai was sitting on the chief seat of the governor's yamen in Lanzhou. This position was originally the seat of the head of the royal family.

However, since the internal Shatuo Li family overwhelmed the Jincheng Wang family, no one has sat in this position because no one is convinced.

Brothers Wang Tinghan, Wang Tingbi, and Su Lunxing, the leader of Su Lun's family, all knelt down in front of Ma Shacai in a respectful manner.

Ma Shacai was also staring at these guys who came out to help at the last moment. In Ma Shacai's eyes, although they still contributed in the end today, they were nothing more than red-topped white grass.

However, at this time the overall situation has been decided, and the red-topped white grass is also very useful.

Only then did Ma Sha know that in addition to demanding the submission of all the tribes in Lanzhou, Zhang Zhao also wanted to take control of Lanzhou. Lanzhou would inevitably restore the state and county system just like Liangzhou.

Then, after the Su Lun family and the Wang family frightened them well, they beat and beat them again. The two county magistrates under the jurisdiction of Lanzhou still had to be made by their two families.

However, the right to make this decision is definitely not in the hands of Ma Sha. You are qualified to let him lead the charge. If you let him consider the overall situation from the position of governor of Lanzhou, it will be embarrassing for him.

Wang Tongtong suddenly felt that someone was stabbing him sideways, and he turned slightly to see that it was his uncle Jia Yanchang.

Jia Yanchang squinted his eyes at this time, his face was neither sad nor happy, and he looked like an old god, but his left hand behind his back was pinching his nephew's waist vigorously.

You are embarrassing me, Fat Tiger!Wang Tongtong's mind was not very flexible, and he, Monk Zhang Er, couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what uncle was going to do?
well!Jia Yanchang heaved a long sigh in his heart, his nephew's brains seemed to be hopeless.

There was no way, Jia Yanchang could only get closer to Wang Tongtong, taking advantage of the opportunity that Ma Shacai was talking to Wang Tinghan of Jincheng Wang's family, he slowly whispered each word in Wang Tongtong's ear.

"At this moment, you should speak to Commander Ma. Before Sikong sends someone to Lanzhou, one person must take on the heavy responsibility of Lanzhou governor, arrange to hunt down the remnants of the Shatuo Li family and Dangxiang Poochou family, and appease the Wang family and Su Lunjia. .

If Commander Ma doesn't want to be overwhelmed by the paperwork, uncle and I can still share the burden. "

Only then did Wang Tongxin understand what his uncle wanted to do. It turned out that Jia Yanchang had taken a fancy to the position of governor of Lanzhou.

Although the governor of Lanzhou at this time may not be the governor of Lanzhou in the future, but with this experience, in the future, Sikong will rule Hexi Longyou, so I am afraid that there will be no officials to do it.

Wang Tongtong and Ma Shacai, both of Zhang Zhao's personal guards, were born in Regret Mountain, and followed Zhang Zhao all the way to the north and south, and have been with each other for four or five years, so there must be no need to be so scruples when talking.

When Ma Sha heard Wang Tongtong's words, he was overjoyed immediately, because he was worried that he could not find someone to arrange matters in Lanzhou.

Originally, according to Zhang Zhao's arrangement, Master Dinghui, the abbot of Weiyan Temple in Lanzhou, assisted Ma Sha to control Lanzhou.

But after Ma Sha entered Lanzhou City, the discoverer, Master Dinghui, didn't seem to want to participate in Lanzhou's common things.

Moreover, Wen Chongle also reported Master Dinghui's previous hesitation, and Ma Shacai dared not let Master Dinghui participate in Lanzhou affairs.

. . . .

Two days later, Ma Shacai and Wang Tongxun each led [-] cavalry to go out of the city to wipe out the head of the Li family in Shatuo near Lanzhou.

Er Zhujing led [-] soldiers to garrison Lanzhou City, controlling the four gates and all key buildings in Lanzhou.

Jia Yanchang stroked the strands of goatee under his chin, and Mei's eyebrows were about to fly.

Speaking of which, in the Guiyi Army, since they were trapped in Guasha and Guasha, they have been in a situation where there are too many monks and too little food.

The two prefectures of Guasha have only such a large territory, and the output is only so small. Even if all the official positions such as governor, long history, Sima, Tuiguan, and judge are all set up, there are not many official titles distributed to everyone.

He, Jia Yanchang, worked so hard that he was in his fifties in a blink of an eye, and only then did he get the title of a governor of the Yamen who was wholesaled after water injection, and was responsible for foreign affairs and tribute to the rebel army. He didn't even get a real county magistrate.

But now, the governor of Shangzhou, whose household registration is only tens of thousands less than that of the two prefectures of Guasha combined, fell on him in one fell swoop.

This taste of power, tsk tsk, although it is temporary, it still makes Jia Yanchang feel a kind of smoky beauty.

"Wang Jia Erlang, for this first matter, you have to ask your father to bring out the golden seal of the governor of Lanzhou appointed by the imperial court!

Your family didn't send anyone to Liangzhou last year, and presenting the golden seal will also allow Sikong to temporarily appease the thunderous anger. "

When Wang Tinghan heard Jia Yanchang mention that their family did not send anyone to Liangzhou last year, he was shocked and regretted it.

I knew that I should have let the fourth brother go there in disguise last year, but it is too late to say it now, and this is indeed a stain on their Wang family.

"What the prefect said is that Zhang Sikong is the one who saved the people of Lanzhou, and everyone in the Wang family is willing to listen to Lord Sikong's orders!"

Seeing that Wang Tinghan is still on the right track, Jia Yanchang nodded in satisfaction, "I heard that these Shatuo people have committed a heinous crime by pretending to be the clan, and they have hidden heart inside and outside Lanzhou City. The heavy responsibility of human beings will be entrusted to you!"

"Thank you prefect, Wang Tinghan will do his best!" Wang Tinghan is a good person, he immediately knew that Jia Yanchang was giving him good juice.

The Jincheng Wang family has been suppressed by the Li family for so many years, and they have already formed a deep hatred for each other.

Now Jia Yanchang wants him to investigate the traitors of the Li family inside and outside Lanzhou City, that is to hand over the life and death power of the Li family to him.

Who is the traitor?Who is not a traitor?It's not his Wang Tinghan who has the final say.

Those who have offended the Wang family, and even have the blood debt of the Wang family on their hands, will not even try to escape. Thinking of this, Wang Tinghan's eyes are almost red.

"Sima also needs to know that after the ice and snow melt, Sikong will definitely come to Lanzhou, so he must be careful in everything!"

Jia Yanchang looked at Wang Tinghan whose face was getting more and more excited, and reminded him in a cold voice.

Wang Tinghan seemed to have been poured cold water on his head, he recovered from the excitement, and he cupped his hands at Jia Yanchang.

"Thank you for your reminder!"

After Wang Tinghan was settled, Jia Yanchang looked at Su Lunxing who had been standing beside him with his hands tied.

For the only local tycoon in Lanzhou who sent someone to Liangzhou, Jia Yanchang was much more attractive to Yan Rui.

"I also have something to do. I want to work on Su Lunjia. I don't know if the leader can agree to it?"

"But there is an order, and Su Lun's family will try their best to complete it!" Su Lunxing cupped his hands. Their family was the first to take refuge. Although they hesitated for a while during the battle at Weiyan Temple, it didn't hurt.

"In addition to the Shatuo rebellion and the Dangxiang Poochou family in Lanzhou, there are dozens of tribes, big and small. The leader can send people to each tribe to explain the situation and say that whoever dares to help these two families will wait for the soldiers to come and destroy the family!
In addition, when Sikong arrived in Lanzhou in May, the leaders of all ministries must go to Lanzhou to wait for Sikong's reward.

Whoever wants to push back and forth or even fight against this matter, you will let his head fall to the ground! "

In fact, in Jia Yanchang's view, intimidating and subduing the barbarians is nothing more than two things.

It was a combination of kindness and strength just now, and a group of them will start to fight next. Shatuo, who is the mastermind against Sikong, will definitely be hit hard.

They have five to 60,000 people, among them there are hundreds of leaders, at least thousands of people will be implicated and beheaded,
This is the usual way of doing things in this era. If you don't kill a group of people, others will think you dare not.

As for the Po Chou Clan's party, it depends on whether they are on the way. If they are on the way, then only the head of the villain will be punished. If they are not on the way, at least hundreds of thousands of people will die.

As for which group of people to win over, it mainly depends on whether the Wang family is on the right track.

Don't even think about the land of the Li family, even some of their own land must be donated. Only after doing this, they will be worthy of being wooed.

Of course, this is the condition in Jia Yanchang's heart, and what will happen in the end depends on Sikong's intentions.

. . . .

Central Plains, Bianzhou, at the beginning of 937, that is, when Zhang Zhao was discussing whether to attack the Ganzhou Uighurs first or take Lanzhou first.

Shi Jingtang led his confidant officials and the remaining civil and military officials in Luoyang, the eastern capital of the later Tang Dynasty, to enter Bianzhou City from Luoyang, the eastern capital, under the protection of the former Hedong Jiedu Yabing Army and the current Dajin Imperial Army.

As soon as he entered the city, Shi Jingtang immediately moved into the palace of the former Houliang in Bianzhou, and announced that the title of Luoyang Eastern Capital was abolished, and it was renamed Xijing.

In fact, before Shi Jingtang moved his capital to Kaifeng, Kaifeng had already been the capital of Houliang.

The later Tang Dynasty chose Luoyang as the eastern capital, but to show that they were orthodox in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Luoyang still cannot be compared with Kaifeng after being repaired by several generations of emperors in the Later Tang Dynasty.

The biggest reason is that Luoyang is located too far to the west. In the past, Guanzhong was rich and prosperous, and Luoyang was in danger of mountains and rivers. It could connect Guanzhong, Henan, and Hebei. At the same time, money, food and goods from the southeast had to be transported to Guanzhong through Luoyang.

This makes Luoyang the most important transportation hub in the Central Plains. Except for the early Tang Dynasty, Luoyang has always been richer and more commercialized than Chang'an. This is the reason.

But in the melee at the end of the Tang Dynasty, especially after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, Guanzhong was dilapidated, and the population was not even one in ten. Luoyang immediately lost the most important support of its geographical advantage.

Moreover, in 885, it was burned down by Sun Ru, the general of Huangchao, and its status has plummeted since then. In addition, after the fall of Tang Dynasty, the canal leading to Luoyang was also blocked, which made Luoyang completely lose its advantage of connecting all directions.

And Luoyang's last vitality was wiped out by Shi Jingtang himself. After the Later Tang rebels such as Hedong Bing and Yang Guangyuan entered Luoyang, they almost turned Luoyang into a wasteland.

In addition to the benefit fee to be paid to the Khitan people for "assisting the boxing", Shi Jingtang ransacked the surrounding areas of Luoyang, and the residents went to five or six out of ten.

"Pei Shilang, the sage is having a banquet with Sang in the palace, and he specially sent this old slave to invite him."

"Officer Song, please take a shower later." Pei Yuan smiled faintly, with impeccable etiquette.

Shi Jingtang was in such a hurry to recruit him into the palace, it was very likely that there was a change in Yecheng, Fan Yanguang seemed unable to hold back, this was a good chance for him to get out of trouble.
