Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 558
Southern Tang Xidu, Jiangning, Deming Palace, Guitou Palace.

Since the time of Xu Wen, the Southern Tang Dynasty has been building palaces in Jiangning, but they were not built on the basis of the original Taicheng of the Six Dynasties, but on the basis of the original Jinling Office.

The reason is very simple. After the Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty felt that Jinling was still royal, so he ordered Jiankang City to be plowed and cultivated, and completely destroyed.

By the time of Yang Wu, Jiankang City, which was renamed Jiangning, had been destroyed and abandoned, so the palace could only be rebuilt on the basis of the original Jinling Office.

When Li Min succeeded to the throne, the Jiangning Imperial City was basically completed. The imperial city was called Deming Palace, which was grand in scale and far more magnificent than Zhang Zhao's shack in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo.

Of course, such a palace can be built in such troubled times, and the bones of civilian husbands are buried under it.

Li Jing got the news that Liu Yanzhen's entire army had been annihilated in the Guitou Hall. The news was so shocking that even the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty was stunned.

Zhang Zhao often referred to the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty as Li Jing's child, because Li Jing was indeed younger than him.

This gentleman was born in 916, and this year is exactly thirty, um, in fact, he is not even thirty, because the month has not yet arrived, and Zhang Zhao was born in 912, and this year is almost 33 to 34 years old.

The name of Guitou Temple is not a bad idea, but comes from a form of Chinese architecture - Baoxia, which refers to a small house built next to the main house that has already been built.

The Guitou Palace is like this. After the main palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty was built, Li Jing rebuilt a small palace on the edge of the imperial city, away from the harem, where he could play with Han Xizai, Feng Yansi, etc., in order to oppose his courtiers reciting poems.

The scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is beautiful!In this chaotic Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it was like a paradise.

It has been almost 50 years since Yang Xingmi, the founder of the Southern Tang Dynasty, ended the war with Qian Yue for Wuzhong. There has been no major war around Jiangning.

The long period of peace, coupled with the small-scale wars against Wang Min, Nanping, Ma Chu, etc., the Southern Tang Dynasty has always been the winner. Southern Tang's sense of destiny.

And this sense of destiny reached its apex when the tiger thorn surrendered, the Southern Tang Dynasty had all the Jianghuai land, and Du Chongwei surrendered in Songzhou immediately after.

For a heavyweight like Du Chongwei, Zhang Zhao looked at him like he was looking at a pile of shit.

But in the eyes of the emperors and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, although Du Chongwei is also a heavyweight, this heavyweight is not the same as what Zhang Zhao thinks.

In the eyes of Li Jing and others, Du Wenhou was the veteran general of the Daibei, the brother-in-law and uncle of the emperor of the Central Plains, or a hero who almost became the emperor of the Central Plains. Now that such people have come to seek refuge, what does this mean?
On behalf of me, Datang is invincible!

But at this moment when I was invincible in the Tang Dynasty, the army that went north to take over the territory was defeated, and even if it was defeated, the entire army was wiped out!

This blow is really too big.

In Li Jing's eyes, Liu Yanzhen, not to mention Bai Qi, Han Xin, Wei Qing, and Huo Qubing, must at least be at the level of Li Guang, a parachutist!

How could such a famous general die in one battle?

Moreover, Liu Yanzhen's [-] imperial troops were said to be the most elite troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing was convinced of their bravery.

Because he only dispatched [-] such forbidden troops to destroy Wang Min's country. He also saw those liger-like athletes with his own eyes. How could they fail like this?

Thinking of this, Li Jing looked at Prime Minister Feng Yansi, Wei Cen and others beside him with puzzled eyes.

However, these people were similar to Li Jing, they talked loudly on weekdays, and half of the country's elite was defeated overnight, and they were already scared to death.

Li Jing turned his attention to Han Xizai, who was in the distance again. Han Xizai was originally Li Jing's former minister of the East Palace, but because he didn't like to flatter Li Jing, he had fallen out of favor recently.

Seeing Li Jing looking at him, this old official who was quite capable and clear-headed hurriedly said to Li Jing.

"The privy envoy Chen Jue stationed troops in Fuzhou, and there are more than [-] elite soldiers in his hands. At this moment, Chen Jue should be urgently ordered to return to the army.

Jianzhou, Jianzhou, Tingzhou and other places have strong folk customs and many athletes. After the destruction of Wangmin Kingdom, there are also a large number of brave men who fear crime and hide in these villages. The saint should send his confidants to recruit, and he will surely get more than [-] elite soldiers . "

It turns out that after the Southern Tang conquered Wang Min, they did not get Wang Min's essence, Fuzhou and Quanzhou, which made the Southern Tang people extremely unconvinced.

Therefore, there are elite soldiers in Jianzhou (Jianou, Fujian), Jianzhou (Nanping, Fujian) and Tingzhou (Changting, Fujian), which are close to Fuzhou and Quanzhou.

In addition, as Han Xizai said, the conditions in Jianzhou, Tingzhou, and Jianzhou are difficult, and the folk customs are extremely tough, and most of Wang Min's elite soldiers come from these places.

And Wang Min's destruction of the country was not a crime of war, but the Wang brothers and their generals killed each other, and was finally crushed by the national power of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

So Han Xizai's proposal was very correct. Li Jing was overjoyed and immediately followed Han Xizai's proposal.

On the one hand, he was going to send someone to summon Chen Jue, the privy envoy from Fuzhou Zhaowu Army Jiedushi, back to his army, and on the other hand, he was going to send Wei Wei Shaoqing Pan Chengyou as an angel to recruit athletes in Fujian.

This Pan Chengyou was originally a minister of Wang Min. He was originally from Putian, Quanzhou.

Han Xizai then proposed several strategies for organizing the defense in Huainan, and Li Jing followed suit.

Feng Yansi and Pan Cen, who were kneeling on the lower left side of Li Jing, looked at each other with uneasy expressions in their eyes.

Han Xizai is an old minister of Qiandi, he has known Li Jing for more than ten years, and he is talented and learned, so he suppressed him with great difficulty. If he turned over again, how could the center still have their status in the future?
At this time, Han Xizai was still not the old fritters in Li Yu's time in the practice field. He saw Li Jing obeying everything, and he seemed to have returned to the time when the two met in the East Palace, and he started talking about Huainan again.

"The sage has learned that the elite of the imperial court has been lost, and tens of thousands of athletes have been gained, but they can only temporarily stabilize the situation.

But this time it was me who was the first to cause an incident. How could Zhou Guo give up on this, maybe he would invade the south again.

If Huainan is to be stabilized, it is imperative to cancel Bozheng and Juntian's tyranny. Only by treating the people of Huainan favorably can the Zhou State's iron cavalry be stopped. "

As soon as Han Xizai's words came out of his mouth, a troubled look appeared on Li Jing's face.

Feng Yansi and Pan Cen's eyes were shining brightly, Pan Cen rushed out first, he pointed at Han Xizai and cursed.

"Well, you Han Xizai, you can speak out as soon as you say it, how dare you slander the saint and the court?
Bozheng and Juntian, that was Emperor Liezu's grand plan to stabilize Huainan, dare you call it tyranny?

If there is no Bo Zheng, what will be used to pay the imperial army in Huainan?Without the military fields, what would the Huainan soldiers eat? "

Li Jing nodded in deep agreement. This confused emperor doesn't know the real situation in Huainan at all.

Under the hoodwink of Feng Yansi and others, Li Jing, who had never understood farming and people's livelihood, really thought that Bo Zheng and Juntian were trying to keep Huainan stable. These two items were only a little burden for the people of Huainan. .

Han Xizai's face was flushed with anger. Pan Cen's ability to describe such a tyrannical government as a plan to stabilize Huainan once again refreshed his perception of how shameless he was.

But before Han Xizai could refute, Feng Yansi popped out again, and said to Li Jing in a sad voice.

"I have heard people say that Han Shuyan often slanders the saint in the mansion, that the saint is in Huainan and gets [-] yuan of money from the inner government every year, and it is not the owner's doing.

Before, the minister thought it was just rumors, but today he openly slandered Bozheng and Juntian as a tyrannical government, which shows that the rumors are true.

Uncle Han said that this is not to treat the people of Huainan kindly, but to treat the saint harshly!
In the eyes of Han Shuyan, His Majesty Wan Cheng is not as good as the heads of Guizhou? "

After Feng Yansi jumped out, all the officials who had gained benefits in Huainan also came out to accuse Han Xizai, saying that he slandered the saint and had evil intentions.

Li Jing's expression changed drastically, Han Xizai wanted to say something more, but Li Jing walked away angrily.

Feng Yansi smiled smugly, he had already figured out Li Jing, the emperor looked majestic, but in fact he was stern, very cowardly, and his ears were still soft.

In front of this kind of people, right or wrong is not based on the facts, but on who has the loudest voice and who has said the most.

And the [-] guan of inner government money from Huainan every year is very important to Li Jing.

Even though this is the emperor, there are a lot of places where money is used, such as organizing receptions, drafting girls, giving gifts to Lanruo, and building palaces.

If the [-] guan is missing, the annual cost will be reduced by [-] guan.

Seeing Li Jing walk away, Feng Yansi didn't even look at the distraught Han Xizai, because he knew that Han Xizai was finished again.

As long as he finds a few confidant ministers to write a letter to persuade him, the saint will drive this unsightly guy away.

. . . .

In Chuzhou, under the witness of tens of thousands of people, Zhang Zhao was riding a white horse and wearing his golden armor. He didn't put on any ceremonial guards. Enter from the north gate.

This was specially arranged by Zhang Zhao. The Southern Tang Dynasty was rich, even ordinary people must have seen a lot of big scenes, but they must have never seen [-] armored infantry.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhao's appearance immediately stunned the Huainan people who came to watch the ceremony. They opened their mouths wide, and showed a look of shock and fear on their faces.

Among Zhou's iron cavalry, those horses with a shoulder height of more than five feet are covered with iron armor, almost like monsters, and the generals are red and white, like heavenly soldiers and generals.

At first they were just watching, but then they didn't know who started it, and everyone knelt down one after another.

Seeing that the surrounding people were shocked, Zhang Shengren remained the same, and publicly announced the Zhou army's military discipline at the north gate of Chuzhou, no adultery, no looting, and no indiscriminate killing.

The most important thing is that Zhang Zhao personally announced the abolition of all the tyranny of the Tang Dynasty in Huainan, such as Bozheng and Juntian.

All of a sudden, there was thunderous cheers, and the people rushed to tell each other that the rumors were true, and that the emperor Zhou really came to abolish Bozheng and Juntian.

Um!It is true to abolish tyranny, so in the hearts of Huainan people, white turtles, white dragon fish, white foxes, and white mice are also true.
