Han Hai Tang Ergui

In the fourth year of Shaoming, 949 AD, the first day of the first lunar month.

This should be the most comfortable year that Zhang Tie has lived. Although the queen and sons are basically not around, it does not prevent me, Zhang Dasheng, from being in a very happy mood!
He has done a lot of things this year, but the two most important things are expedition to Mobei and 'fishing'.

Let’s talk about going to Mobei first. He has never been so easy in all dynasties. Let alone the ruthless characters like the Huns and Turks on the grassland, there are no such grades as Rouran and Xue Yantuo.

So I, Zhang Shengren, only brought [-] cavalry, and dispatched more than [-] people at most, to complete the two great achievements of Le Shi Yanran and Feng Lang Juxu.

And the "fishing" method he set up before he left also unexpectedly achieved great results.

Originally, he was only targeting those old men in the old Guiyi army who had original sins and were ignorant of current affairs, and he would rectify the Hexi Chamber of Commerce by the way.

As a result, Cao Renzun and Yin Yuande, the black sheep hidden in the depths, were all fished out.

This time the rebellion was so extensive that it almost covered most of the families of the old Guiyi army faction. Except for the Song family of the grandfather and the Luo family controlled by Luo Tongda, all the families were more or less involved.

OK!That's great!Zhang Ting was so happy that his eyes narrowed.

These old fellows of the Old Guiyi Army Faction rely on the old to sell the old, taking advantage of the opportunity that Zhang Ting has no time to spend a lot of energy in Hexi, they are domineering on the entire west of Liangzhou, that is, the Silk Road in the Hexi Corridor, and set up taxes privately. Ka, openly colluded with the Hexi Chamber of Commerce to become a ground tiger.

If they are all caught this time, Cao Renzun and Yin Yuande's family will definitely suffer bad luck, and it will not be so easy for other families to get rid of their crimes.

Zhang Ting intends to take the opportunity to thoroughly clean up the disharmony on the Silk Road, attribute the benefits originally occupied by these people to the imperial court, and restore the disrupted business environment to normal.

This will not only further promote the development of the Silk Road, but also allow it to continue for dozens of hundreds of years, and continue to provide nourishment for the Xia Junyi people heading west.

At the same time, after destroying these families, Zhang Tie estimated that he himself could get at least 600 million yuan in wealth this time, which was comparable to the gains from robbing Samanbos and Tianzhu.

And there is no need to worry about other people's words. This is not Zhang Shengren robbing the property of his subjects, but the homes of these rebels.

With this money, the military expenses for the Southern Expedition and the immigration expenses for reclaiming Liaodong and Liaoxi are basically settled.

In the Central Plains, Li Ye, Wang Jun, Xue Huairang and others who were dissatisfied were also involved.

Although they don't have much wealth, their arrest can greatly purify the political environment.

Especially in Wuning Town of Xuzhou, Zhang Tie had always wanted to deal with the only five-generation tooth soldier gang that was still established, but because of no excuses, he really couldn't make a move. Now it's a good thing, they jumped out and took the initiative to die, how good it is.

By the way, there is also Zhao Zaili, I, Zhang Shengren, are greedy, ah, no!But I hated him for a long time.

Shameless and shameless, cruelly oppressing the people and accumulating millions of dollars in family property, she still wants to spend her old age peacefully, which is a beautiful idea.

In addition to these domestic scoundrels, Zhang Ting also caught the nail of Liu Renzhan, and now he has an excuse to attack Southern Tang.

Although Li Jing specially sent Han Xizai as an envoy a few days ago, he traveled across half of China to Chengde Mansion in winter to plead guilty to Zhang Yu, saying that everything was Liu Renzhan's unauthorized actions, and the Southern Tang court didn't know it at all.

hehe!In the current Southern Tang Dynasty, for Zhang Tie, it was really called the side of the couch where others could not sleep soundly.

These 500 million people, thousands of miles of land, millions of dollars in taxes every year, and the booming shipbuilding industry are everything that Zhang Tie needs. He will definitely not tolerate such a good place and continue to ruin it in Li Jing's hands. .

No, not right!The Southern Tang Kingdom definitely has more than 500 million people, and its tax revenue is more than a few million.

Are you kidding me, since Yang Xingmi established his foothold, Jiangnan has been the most stable place in the whole world.

In such a rich place, the population is only a little more than that of the Helong area, and the tax level is only comparable to that of Guanzhong and Ningxia. Who would believe it!
Down here, I don't know how much money has been corrupted by officials and powerful families at all levels in the Southern Tang Dynasty. When the army settles in the south of the Yangtze River, these guys must spit it out fiercely.

In this way, the harvest of fishing this time is really great!

No, it shouldn't be called fishing, because Zhang Tie originally just wanted to catch the old Guiyi army faction, but in the end, Hexi Chamber of Commerce, Meng Shu remnants, frustrated tooth generals, Hedong rebels, Wuning army tooth soldiers, and Zhao Zaili et al. and Nan Tang.

This is not fishing, this is directly frying fish!

How many carvings should one arrow call?I'm afraid it's not a matter of many eagles, but it directly blasts down the birds and even the mosquitoes flying in the sky.

So much so that people like An Shenqi were frightened, and even asked to hand over all powers and go back to retire.

The cheap father-in-law, Fu Yanqing, didn't hold back the northern part of Hebei in his hand, and offered to follow Zhang Tie to the Southern Expedition to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

A few days ago, Zhe Congyuan, who had been living in the northwest, also wrote a letter, saying that he was sick, and hoped to find a famous doctor in Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, and to recuperate for a while.

Since the founding of the Great Zhou by Zhang Ji, there are more than a thousand private soldiers in his hands, namely Fu Yanqing, An Shenqi, Gao Xingzhou, and Zhe Congyuan.

Among the four, Gao Xing and Zhou's family had the weakest family background, and they had long since given up their petty thoughts, and obediently obeyed orders to conquer the north and south.

Besides, apart from being a little rude, Gao Xingzhou was originally an honest man with the simplest mind.

The other three people are actually not fuel-efficient lamps, it is better to be far away, because this person has always been more disciplined, and their family can be said to be promoted by Zhang Tie, and some private soldiers are also their own clansmen, the problem is not big.

An Shenqi and Fu Yanqing were actually a little worried by Zhang Ting, because they were capable and not bad in character.

Zhang Ting was not worried about the strength of their troops, but was afraid that they would be coerced by his soldiers or even their relatives, and they would do bad things.

Zhang Tie really didn't want to kill such people, not only them, even Xue Huairang and Pan Huan, Zhang Tie was not prepared to kill them.

Although these two people are brutal, greedy for money and fond of wine, they have made merits in resisting the Khitan, and their personal morals have suffered, but their integrity has not been compromised.

If they don't come out to make trouble, it's a pity that a rich man's life is still there.

"Saint, Song Shanyuan, envoy of Longyou Daoist, Boyin Yuanting of Fuyuan, Chen Minzhi, uncle of the Great Wall, and all the old ministers from Hexi, have already arrived at the meditation room in the left hall."

Zhang Ting was enjoying his masterpiece of "fish frying", so Dong Shaojian came to report in person, because the three leading Hexi veteran officials were all Zhang Ting's close relatives.

Among them, Song Shanyuan was Zhang Ting's third uncle, and he was the only one among his shallow-sighted uncles who was not so annoying.

Although I always hope that Zhang Tie will promote a few more cousins, but he himself is quite honest, not very corrupt, and doesn't get mixed up with others indiscriminately, but when it comes to the future of his children, he has some extravagant expectations.

Fuyuan Boyin Yuanting is the father of Yin Yaozi and Yin Zhengqi, the cousin of Zhang Chengfeng's father, the emperor in white, and the uncle of Zhang Cheng.

Yin Yuande, who participated in Cao Renzun's rebellion, was Yin Yuanting's younger brother and Zhang Ting's cousin by blood.

Chen Minzhi, uncle of the Great Wall, is the representative of the Chen family in Shazhou. In fact, earlier, the descendants of the Southern Chen Xuandi Chen Xu had the closest relationship with the Zhang family.

Because both Zhang Yichao and his elder brother Zhang Yitan married daughters of the Chen family, Zhang Huaishen, the second-generation Guiyi Army Jiedu envoy, also married a cousin of the Chen family.

It was only later that Zhang Huaiding's grandfather, Zhang Huaiding, instigated by Suo Xun and others, snatched the power of the Guiyi Army and used Zhang Huaishen's internal family conflicts to kill six members of Zhang Huaishen's family. The Chen family was also severely hit and devastated.

Since then, the Zhang family has not married the Chen family again, so that most of the Chen family fled to Yizhou and took refuge in Gaochang Uighurs.

After Zhang Ting returned to the east, in order to win over the Chen family in Yizhou to stabilize the situation in Beiting and eliminate the Uighurs in Gaochang, he found out several elderly members of the Chen family who were still in Shazhou, and made Chen Minzhi, who was in his 60s, a Great Wall Boss. The founding emperor Chen Baxian was a native of Wuxing Great Wall Xiaruoli.

Among the three, Song Shanyuan married Chen Minzhi's daughter, Chen Minzhi's mother was Yin Yuanting's aunt, and Yin Yuanting's niece married Song Shanyuan's second son.

Take a look, this intricate relationship is the reason why Zhang Tie has been unable to deal with the old Guiyi army faction properly.

Shazhou originally had a small number of Han people, a total of 9 to 200 people. Over the past [-] years, the mutual marriages have reached a criss-cross pattern like a spider's web.
In this era where close relatives and relatives are still important, and the township parties hold each other in groups and help each other, if Zhang Tie is cruel to people like the old Guiyi army, then in the eyes of the world, his character will be questionable.

Not to mention now, even in later generations, if those rich people who run big companies are too mean to their relatives, they will have a bad reputation.

To deal with such people, you can't deal with them without fishing.

Fortunately, Zhang Tie's adventure was a success.

. . . . .

In the meditation room in the left hall of Zhaoming Temple, Zhang Tie now regards the entire Zhaoming Temple as a residence, anyway, he was supposed to be enshrined there anyway.

In the meditation room, as soon as Zhang Tie came in, everyone knelt on the ground three times and kowtowed nine times, crying and begging Zhang Tie for forgiveness.

Zhang Ting stood at the door for a while, and after brewing for a while, he also sighed at a 45-degree angle to the sky, and then burst into tears.

Before this group of people could open their mouths, Zhang Tie burst out, "Third Uncle, Second Cousin, Eldest Uncle, Fourth Uncle, what is the reason? What is the reason! Is this junior not doing enough?

A certain soldier returned from Anxi to the east, did you not pursue the crime of persecuting the Yuanzu Emperor in the past, did you?

I didn't suppress you, but gave the officials money and titles, right?The juniors in the family, as long as they have the ability, someone will also reuse it, right?
You are sitting on the ground in Hexi collecting money, robbing the country of taxes, hoarding, buying low and selling high, each of you is worth [-], hundreds of thousands, or even millions of guan.

Without Zhen, you are all nested in the small land of Shazhou, and it is not surprising that you will be killed by Uighur one day.

Now enjoying the glory of the revival of the dynasty, all of them are noble servants, Long Xunchen, why should they collude with each other to rebel? "

Zhang Tie burst into tears, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, his whole body began to tremble. As he spoke, he waved his hand violently.

"Open the door, open all the doors, your brothers, nephews, sons and grandchildren are all by my side, come and tell them in front of them, why is all this?
A certain is not an emperor today, but your relatives. Tell me, how can the certain family feel sorry for you? "

Hurrah, all the doors of the meditation room in the left hall were opened, and there was a burst of noise.

It turned out that Zhang Tie had summoned all the sons of the Guiyi Army around him, and many of them had their grandfathers and fathers in the meditation room.

What's this called?

These people originally wanted to use their kinship, and a mighty 40 people came to Zhang Ting collectively to cry and beg, trying to minimize the impact of the rebellion of Cao Renzun, Yin Yuande and others.

They already had a premonition that Zhang Tie might take this opportunity to let them leave Hexi and leave their position as ground tigers.

Of course, they were also frightened by Cao Renzun's boldness and brain damage, but they still wanted to see if they could minimize the loss and use family affection to coerce Zhang Tie.

But Zhang Tie had already thought about it. It has been sixteen or seventeen years since he traveled through time. I, Saint Zhang, have already mastered the calculation methods I have seen in the history books of later generations and applied them in real life with proficiency.

Don't you want moral kidnapping?Then I will kidnap you first!

"Grandfather! Why are you so confused? Cao Renzun made such a big fuss. Don't you know that you are with him every day?

We return to the volunteers, and finally fulfilled the last wish of our ancestors, and you actually want to smash him? "

"Yeah, I told you a long time ago that you refused to come to Tokyo to enjoy the blessings earlier, so you turned out to be a moth of the country.

Are you worthy of the bloody battle with the Uighurs in Ganzhou, and looking at A Weng who did not close his eyes from the direction of Chang'an when he was dying? "

"Brother, you are so confused, we don't care about our Shazhou athletes' own country, how do you let the world see it?
If you are obsessed with your obsession, then this brotherly relationship, let's stop here! "

Painful, reprimanded, scolded, even decisive.

These new generation or the second generation of Guiyi Jun Erlang, they don't have the burden of their parents. They watched Zhang Tie's miraculous rise when they were teenagers.

What I heard in my ears was Zhang Tie's magical achievements that went straight to the sky, and it was the loyalty of Zhang Yichao, the ancestor of the Zhang family, who started from Lingwu in the east and went to Yiwu in the west.

It was a century-old Zuojin, who became Kou Shang again, and the ten counties left Li, who learned about the great feats of saving all Tang children.

Witnessing the cannibalism of the Zhang family with their grandparents, Zhang Chengfeng was forced to recognize the humiliation of the Ganzhou Uighur Khan as his father, so he thought that the Zhang family was like this, and the Guiyi Army was no different from the glory.

These new generations, and even their next generation, take an attitude of ignoring these nasty things in the Guiyi Army that they have never seen, or they regard it as a manifestation of the darkness before dawn.

They are really proud of the Guiyi Army, and they are of one mind with Zhang Tie. These people are the Guiyi Army.

As for the older generation, they can no longer bear this honorable title, and it is time for them to withdraw from the stage of history.

The elders were humiliated by the younger generation. Many people saw that although they participated in the rebellion to some extent, but their children and grandchildren were not affected in any way, they recalled their predicament when there was no Zhang Tie. Anyone who had a little conscience was ashamed.

Chen Minzhi, the Uncle of the Great Wall, came out first. He knelt on the ground and paid respects to Zhang Tie.

"Saint, it has been nearly 400 years since the ancestors of the Chen family were exiled to Dunhuang, Shazhou. The ancestors said that the hometown where the river flowers are red at sunrise and the river is green as blue in spring, I really want to see it. "

As he said that, Chen Minzhi took out a bank certificate of deposit, "A certain son is good at doing business, and he has earned a lot of money thanks to the blessing of the sage in the past three years.

I heard that the Southern Tang Kingdom is still fighting stubbornly, and the Wuyue Kingdom has never surrendered. I want to return to my hometown as soon as possible, so I ask the saint to accept the [-] silver notes, so as to realize the prosperity of the world as soon as possible. "

Zhang Ting was overjoyed, he really didn't expect Chen Minzhi, who usually doesn't show his mountains and dews, to be so knowledgeable.

The Chen family is no better than the others, and they didn't participate too much in the Hexi Chamber of Commerce's monopoly of business routes. The [-] yuan is at least [-]% to [-]% of their family's wealth.

"My uncle understands righteousness deeply, and my grandson is very moved. If Empress Sheng Ci Dechun is alive, she will be happy for my uncle."

Zhang Ting hurriedly helped Chen Minzhi up, no matter how he was, the blood of the Chen family also flowed through him, Empress Sheng Ci Dechun refers to Zhang Yichao's first wife, the Chen family.

He accepted the [-] guan unceremoniously, not for nothing, but since Chen Minzhi came out first, naturally he still wanted to give benefits.

"Zhi Ling, Chen Minzhi, Bo of the Great Wall, deeply understands the righteousness and has made great contributions to the country. He specially ordered Jin to be the Duke of Yuanling County, to add the inspector to the Taishi, to give food to [-] households, and to give a house in Shendu. The second son Chen Boqun was promoted immediately. Entered the Hanlin Academy as the Secretary of the Hanlin."

Chen Minzhi's ancestor was Chen Shuxing, the 26th younger brother of Chen Shubao, the empress of the Southern Chen Dynasty.

Serving as the secretary of the Imperial Academy is to go to the emperor's side for backup, and the close civil officials promoted by Zhang Tie basically have to go through such a procedure.

It's a bit similar to the Shujishi of the Hanlin Academy in the Ming Dynasty, but it's not that precious, but it's still pretty good.

When Chen Minzhi came like this, he immediately pulled out a huge gap in these old Guiyi army gangs. Zhang Tie's eyes were like fire, and he stared closely at the third uncle Song Shanyuan and the second cousin Yin Yuanting.

That means, even distant relatives like Chen Minzhi have come out, how dare you two stand in a daze?

Song Shanyuan was sweating profusely, remembering his father Song Tongyi's instructions, and hurried out.

Yin Yuanting originally wanted to be 'reserved', but suddenly saw the displeasure in the eyes of the second son Yin Zhengying, and immediately trembled.

You must know that Yin Yuanting had no responsibilities back then. Cao Yijin originally asked his cousin to take care of Zhang Ting, but Yin Yuanting did not dare to go, so he sent Yin Yaozi, the eldest son of a maidservant girl who was more than ten years old, to him. Fool things in the past.

This caused Yin Yaozi to break with his family directly when he became an adult, and it was Empress Cao Yanxi who persuaded him to recognize his father. His blessing was also given by Zhang Ting for Yin Yaozi's sake.

The so-called fate has an inner meaning, if you are knowledgeable, you will be blessed, if you are not, Zhang Tie and Yin Yaozi will settle accounts with you, then it is very likely that blessings and misfortunes depend on it.

"The Song family in Shazhou is willing to donate [-] guan to help the saints rule the country."

"The Yin family has some assets, and they are willing to give 20 guan." Yin Yuanting was extremely heartbroken. He wanted to say [-] guan, but the second son Yin Zhengying secretly compared him with a two.

This time, the old fellows in the meditation room in the left hall were completely dumbfounded.

They came here led by Song Shanyuan, Yin Yuanting, and Chen Minzhi. Now that all three of them have disarmed first, how can this be done?
In the embarrassing silence, Zhang Lieming walked in with more than a dozen Jinyi personal guards wearing silver and white flying fish uniforms.

"Cao Yuanshun, Zhang Wentong, you don't think that Cao Renzun has subdued the law, so no one knows what you have done?"

Zhang Lieming snorted coldly, "Cha, on the seventh day of July in the third year of Shaoming, Cao Yuanshun went to Cao Renzun's residence for a banquet.

Cao Renzun resented the saints, saying that Hexi should reward them for their meritorious officials. Cao Yuanshun deeply believed that, and helped Cao Renzun go to Lintao to recruit Tibetan horse bandits as minions.

Zhang Wentong, since September of the second year of Shaoming, has donated to Cao Renzun more than ten times, with an amount of more than [-] guan.

And through the convenience of his son Zhang Qu's employment in the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, he purchased [-] sets of cloth-covered iron armor, [-] sets of iron-barred armor, and hundreds of other spears, spears, hammers and shields. "

As he said that, Zhang Lieming looked at Zhang Wentong and sneered, "Fourth Uncle, you are such a good father, Sixth Uncle didn't want to obey, but you used the name of father to force him.

It's all right now, Sixth Uncle was beheaded by Zhao Guogong in Kaifeng Mansion, Tokyo three days ago! "

"My son! My son!" Zhang Wentong couldn't help screaming, only then did he realize that his son had already been stabbed by the Bianshui.

He stumbled to his feet like he was insane, and the two Jinyi personal guards stepped forward, only heard a few clicks, and directly broke Zhang Wentong's mouth and joints of his hands and feet, and then dragged him down like a dead dog.

Cao Yuanshun fell limply to the ground, and a fishy smell came from his crotch in an instant.

I, Saint Zhang, looked at these ugliness and sighed again. There seemed to be tears rolling in his red eyes again, and he said sadly.

"The country has state laws, and the family has family rules. Even though a certain relative is close, there is no mercy in front of the law. Each of them will be given three feet of white silk. If the children in the family do commit crimes, they should be punished lightly!"

"No saint!" As soon as Zhang Tie finished speaking, a thunderous roar came over.

Luo Tongda, a veteran with white beard and hair, stood up and said: "Cao Renzun, Yin Yuande and others rebelled today because the sage was too generous to them, so that these people lost their awe.

This time, Cao Yuanshun and Zhang Wen were equally guilty of treason and immorality. If they are still so lenient, what about the law?How are people in the world? "

Of course Zhang Ting would not spare Cao Yuanshun, Zhang Wentong and others lightly. He was only performing just now, and Luo Tongda jumped out to punish him severely, which was exactly what Zhang Ting wanted.

As soon as Luo Tongda finished speaking, Cao Yijin's eldest grandson and Cao Yuande's eldest son Cao Yanjing, who had been arranged by Zhang Tie, also jumped out and shouted.

"Saint, General Luo's words are correct. I know that the sage treats us relatives kindly, but this is a crime of treason. To forgive him, isn't it to make everyone in the world feel that the sage cannot act impartially?

I will be the son of Yijun, and I will set an example for the world. How can I protect each other so closely?

Please ask the sage to behead these two evil thieves and show them to the public. Anyone who participates will be decapitated and exiled! "

"Yes! Saint, the crime of treason must never be forgiven!"

"I thank the sage for his protection, but we can't disregard the laws of the country because of this!"

The new generation of soldiers of the Guiyi Army shouted loudly, and as for their next generation, these sixteen or seventeen-year-old Guiyi Army sons, they were filled with righteous indignation.

Seeing that Zhang Ting still couldn't bear it, Cao Yanjing stepped forward and yelled at Zhang Lieming: "Zhang Liu, go and invite Dali Temple Secretary, Hexi Road Censor, and Criminal Department Zuo Shilang to handle the case according to the law."

Then he shouted to Dong Shaojian who was behind Zhang Ting: "This eunuch, the saint can't bear to kill his close relatives, but the saint is kind. Please turn around, the protector of the saint. There are ministers here waiting for the three judges to interrogate!"

The old guys in the field realized that the matter was serious. Their sons and grandchildren didn't even cover them up, and even regarded them as enemies.

Immediately, they rushed out, grabbed Zhang Tie's thigh and refused to let him go, crying and yelling to spit out the illegal gains.

Seeing that the heat had come, Zhang Tie stopped Cao Yanjing's arrangement, sighed and said: "If I let the son judge the father, wouldn't it be against filial piety, and this is not something the king can do.

You are all ministers of a certain family, and you must not be allowed to bear such a bad name.

Now that things have come to this point, let me, the emperor, bear all this. If people in later generations scold me, then scold me Zhang Erlang alone. "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Ting looked at the old guy and said, "My elders, if I repent today, I can still let the past go.

And I am willing to take all your blood relatives to Luoyang, the god capital, to resettle, and buy you a wide range of houses and land for retirement.

Cao Yuanshun and Zhang Wen are guilty of unforgivable crimes, so they will beheaded as an example, and all participants in the family will be handed over to the three courts for trial. "

"Minister, please thank the saint for his kindness!" At this moment, everyone in the meditation room in the left hall was very grateful, and they all felt that Zhang Tie had done the utmost of benevolence and righteousness.

At the moment, those few people who were confirmed to have participated in the rebellion were directly sold out by the people around them.The old guys who only made small mistakes quickly spit out the stolen money.

The second and third generations of Guiyi Jun Erlang were even more convinced by Zhang Ting, and they all understood that the sage pardoned these fathers and grandfathers only for their sake.

A sense of pride welled up in them!

After all, we are different from them, we are the blood relatives of the saints, and the sons of Da Zhou!

Amidst the cries and cheers, since Zhang Huaishen was killed, the spirit and sense of honor of the Guiyi Army, which had sunk for decades, was finally passed on at this moment!
Two chapters in one, not at night
