Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 1287
Today's Xue family is not just a matter of Mu Xiu Yu Lin.

A tree with many branches and leaves, even if Yingbal is far away from his peers and will be destroyed by strong winds, its root system is still solid and powerful.However, the current Xue family was directly suspended in mid-air, and the pressure they were under could be said to come from all directions.

It's not that Xue Tao has never thought about reversing this situation. For example, the simplest way of donating his family's wealth and reducing his own wealth can also make his family's wealth and wealth less conspicuous.

In fact, the villagers criticized his family for being able to support the rural business because of the old customs of adapting to chaos, which is not wronged for his family.Xue's family was not a big family living in Hedong. In the old years, they moved out of Shuzhong and moved to Hedong. Compared with the Pei family, Liu family and other prominent families who lived in this area, they could not be compared with each other.And it is precisely because of this that the Xue family is now a strong representative of the Hedong Township, which makes the villagers feel even more upset.

It coincided with the Yongjia Rebellion, the Xue family itself was a hero and warrior, and in such a world, they had the opportunity to go upstream and become the most powerful and powerful force in Hedong.In addition, the two Zhaos were fighting each other, and each of them did not have much energy to pay attention to the Xue family who was entrenched in Fenyin and was growing stronger and stronger.

Xue Tao wanted to donate his family's wealth to Xingtai, but as soon as he made this idea, he was opposed by many clansmen.As a huge family, the Xue family is naturally divided into branches, and Xue Zu and Xue Luo are members of the same generation and age as Xue Tao. Xue Zu and Xue Luo each share a family. It is difficult for Xue Tao to decide what is going on with the family.

Moreover, once the clan grows, the members of the clan will naturally suffer from mud and sand, with different advantages and disadvantages. Not everyone has Xue Tao's sense of urgency.If it was only limited to the disputes within the clan, it would not have dissuaded Xue Tao from thinking about it. The most annoying thing was that some clansmen advertised the Xingtai as magnanimous and elegant, but actually forced the Xue family to donate their wealth!

After Xue Tao learned of this, he was so angry that he almost fainted. He strictly investigated the Xiaoxiao who spread such rumors in the clan, and nearly beat him to death by family law lynching.But the rumor finally got out, and some of the Xiangzong knew about it, so they felt awe-inspiring and sent people to beat Xue Tao to dispel his idea.

After all, all households in Hedong township benefited from Xingtai, the Xue family benefited more, and the other township households did not get nothing.If Xue Tao donated his family wealth to invite Xingtai to rejoice, how would the villagers deal with themselves?Not to mention that they didn't have enough profits to provoke the envy of the crowd, how many people would be able to see it even if they were in the Xue family's situation?

The Xue family has already become the target of public criticism. If Xue Tao insists on doing something that disgusts the villagers, one can imagine what kind of situation he will face.

Moreover, it was obvious that General Shen had a well-thought-out plan for the management of Hedong. If he acted rashly, if he interrupted Xingtai's steps, it would be a good thing and a bad thing.

If you can't donate, how about splitting it up and donating it to villagers?Since they are envious and jealous of his family's wealth, and this wealth brings too much hidden danger to Xue's family, why don't they just dissipate the family wealth and give back to the hometown?

Xue Tao believes that if he dares to do this, regardless of whether the villagers are happy or grateful, Xingtai will immediately ask him what he is going to do?He himself is the governor and general of the Hedong Army Mansion, and he has many tribes and tribal songs. Now he bribes the villagers with huge goods. If he says that he has no dissent, who will believe it?
In Xue Tao's view, the local assets and goods that could bring people food, clothing and a sense of security have become a pot full of charcoal that he has to hold in his arms and can't give away even if he wants to. Internal anxiety, sleep and food restlessness.

Spreading wealth is self-defeating, this road is temporarily unworkable.Moreover, the restoration of vitality in the east of the river is rapid, and General Shen should not be happy to see any major changes in the ownership of rural capital, so as to disrupt the current rhythm of development.This point can be guessed from the statement made by the general when he passed by Hedong earlier.

Just like what his son Xue Qiang said, the Xue family has such a special favor to enjoy the stage, so they are timid and invite everyone to favor them in order to alleviate the current situation of material disputes. On the contrary, it will be counterproductive, making Shiliu even more contemptuous of his family.

Only by being loyal to the king's teacher, working hard for meritorious service, obtaining deeds as soon as possible that can match the honors and benefits enjoyed by his family, and showing the general and the world that their Xue family is indeed worthy of such courtesy and rewards, is the right way.

How could Xue Tao not understand this truth? Whenever there is meritorious deeds, it cannot be accomplished by only being brave and full of thoughts. In addition to one's own courage and sincerity, good times, good opportunities, and taking advantage of the situation are also indispensable. And for all kinds of cooperation.The world is difficult, and it is far from being as simple as speaking and acting.

Xue Tao is now in charge of guarding the Hedong Army Mansion, and he also wants to do something to repay General Shen's kindness. For example, in the series of wars in Guanzhong, Longshang, and even northern Shaanxi earlier, he also frequently called for battles, but he did not do anything. In the end, Taiwan rejected Xue Tao's invitation to fight because of the initial creation of the Hedong Army Mansion and the need for domestication of soldiers, but only let him rest assured to repair the Hedong military, and there must be a chance to fight.

Not getting a chance to perform in the competition, Xue Tao was disappointed, but also had to admit that the decision to go to the stage was indeed safe.Compared with the other royal divisions, the officers and men of the Hedong Army Mansion still have many deficiencies.

It's not that the Hedong sergeants are cowardly and dare not fight for merit, but that compared with other Wang divisions who have been honed in battle, they lack the kind of indomitable spirit, the determination of the soldiers to obey their lives, and the military prestige of prohibiting orders.

The war on the western front seemed to be a triumphant song all the way, but if the sergeant from Hedong was replaced, Xue Tao really couldn't guarantee that it would go so smoothly.Even if he has the bravery to sacrifice his life in every battle and forget to die, war is not a matter of one person after all.

The embarrassment of his own situation also made Xue Tao somewhat constrained in his position as the supervisor of Hedong, and many things that were originally simple became complicated.

Although there were no major twists and turns in the establishment of the Hedong Army Mansion, small disputes continued.The Xue family is the most powerful and has the most tribes in the Wuzong family in the Hedong region, and Xue Tao was appointed as the supervisor and general by Xingtai, which inevitably made the villagers hesitate.

Because the east of the river is located at an important point, there were very few people scattered in the countryside after suffering from wars in the old years.If the military government wants to be established, the source of soldiers mainly comes from the private soldiers of various households.

But the township tyrants are all watching what the Xue family does. If the Xue family has too few repertoires, they are naturally unwilling to contribute more manpower. If the Xue family has too many repertoires, they will feel that the Xue family is taking advantage of the momentum Relying on their family power, they suppressed their existence in the military government and annexed their parts.

Therefore, at the very beginning, the organizational system of the Hedong Military Mansion was simply chaotic. At most, more than a dozen military mansions were crowded in the narrow boundary of Hedong.Afterwards, after Xue Tao went around and tried hard to persuade, the number of military mansions was reduced to the current eight, and gradually reached a unified regulation. Each military mansion has between six and seven thousand households and two to three soldiers. More than a thousand people.

The generals and soldiers of the military government are not the soldiers of the first order of the king's division. They farm and fight at the same time. Only when there is insufficient regular combat power in a large-scale battle, or when the battle takes place within the territory, will they issue a dispatch order to conscript.

However, the army's military equipment is complete, and the requirements for maintaining the combat effectiveness of soldiers are much higher than that of ordinary county soldiers and village bravery. Therefore, except for the special season of busy farming and rushing to harvest, almost half of the year must be concentrated camp drills.

Xue Tao has received great kindness from Xingtai, and he is also quite proud of their Hedong athletes. He is not satisfied with being only a second-tier combat force. He also hopes to train a strong team in Hedong to repay General Shen's kindness. , so the requirements in this respect are naturally more stringent.

Although the officers and soldiers of the military mansion came from various tribes, the main body was still the Xue family's own tribes. Therefore, Xue Tao had enough prestige in the army mansion. The villagers may have complaints, but they dare not directly challenge his majesty.

However, after the amount of training increases, the consumption of various equipment and military resources will naturally increase.As a standing military unit, the military mansion is naturally different from the reclamation of local counties and counties. It is half self-sufficient in terms of capital and use, and half has to wait for the appropriation from the superior township.

The governor of Hedong is under the garrison jurisdiction of Tongguan Town, and he has no combat missions, but the consumption has increased, which inevitably makes Tongguan have some criticisms.After all, there are still various wars in Shaanxi. Tongguan also leads Hedong, and it is also a backup base for the Shaanxi armies, so it is impossible to focus exclusively on Hedong.

Every time he exchanged letters and described military affairs, Xue Tao couldn't help but worry, worrying that he would be criticized by the public for being greedy. part of the.

And he couldn't use his private wealth to support the army. After all, the Hedong Army Mansion is the army of the king's army that the General's Mansion clearly gave orders. So what is the reason for him to support the army with his private wealth?
Seeing that Xue Qiang was not angry at being ordered by him to visit He Miao and deliver goods to Qu, Xue Tao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.The reason why he wants to do this is actually too much helplessness.To be honest, He Miao, the old Hu Cheng, is an old man in Taiwan, and their Xue family is also a rising star who is highly appreciated and trusted by the general. If it is really about power, He Miao is not in his eyes. .

But he had to think more. For his family at present, accumulating wealth is accumulating slander.Although he has full confidence, as long as he is ordered by the general, he must obey his orders and seize the opportunity to make great achievements.But if before that, he had accumulated money and slandered his bones, his family might not even have a chance to show off!
The Great General sincerely appreciates the grace granted to his family, but it does not mean that his family will be safe and secure.If you can't even handle this kind of criticism and slander, you can't bear it, even if the general takes care of his feelings and protects him, he will definitely be disappointed with his family and will not make a bigger appointment.

"You are not young anymore. In the past years, you have been protected by your parents, and you can beat you regardless of the world. But in the future, you must be brave enough to stand on your own, stand up to the wind and snow, and not climb the vines under the fence under the gate of the courtyard. Many things, even if you Don't tell me, you should have your own opinion. The morals of the world will not indulge you alone. It is true that you are young and vigorous, but looking ahead and thinking carefully is not necessarily a sign of cowardice. When a man gets angry, he draws his sword and kills people. Being able to act bravely, this kind of bravery is not worthy of admiration."

When Xue Tao talked about this, he put on a sincere expression on his face: "Whether you see it or not, the world is difficult and difficult, and there is always a moment for you to taste it. I am more happy to see you than to be young and lonely. Old and courageous, the original intention is clear. Few have the bravery of ignorance, the strong have the prudence and thoroughness, and the old have the integrity of chastity. If I can get these three, my family will not fall into your hands even if the wind and rain are on the way.”

Xue Tao taught his son this way, but he didn't mean to justify his hesitation and difficulty in walking. He had high hopes for this son, and originally planned to send him to heaven to communicate with the director of the library.

However, as the library became more famous, the admission of students became more rigorous, and his family did not have much family inheritance, Xue Qiang was never able to enter.Although he was a little disappointed about this, but the way of the world is not only one end, maybe his son really doesn't have the talent to enter the library, but if he is with him and teaches him personally, it may not be impossible to become a talent.

Hearing his father's words, Xue Qiang hurriedly bowed his head to be taught.Many truths, no matter how thoroughly they are explained, will only be mere empty talk without experience, acceptance without learning, and learning without law.It's not that the reason is unreasonable, but that the conduct is unreasonable.

The father and son chatted at night for a while, and then went to their rooms to rest.The next day, a transfer order from Chang'an was sent to the Governor's Mansion outside Puban City. Xue Tao's shoulders trembled suddenly when he received the transfer order, and his whole body became excited, and his gratitude to the general in his heart inevitably deepened. With him planned in his arms, he finally didn't leave him in this anxious situation for too long.

After receiving the transfer order, Xue Tao became very motivated, and immediately dispatched envoys to each military mansion, summoning the generals of each army mansion to come here to stand by immediately after receiving the order.

Xue Tao sat in the room by himself, put the general's order on the table, read it over and over many times, and felt more grateful in his heart.The General really took good care of the people in Hedong Township, especially the Xue family, no wonder Shi Liu was secretly jealous.

As the supervisor of the Hedong Army Mansion, he can also be regarded as one of the senior generals under the General's Mansion, and he has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the composition and distribution of the Wang Shi's overall military strength.

Saihu entered the bandits, sent troops to northern Shaanxi, and mobilized the officers and men of the Hedong Army to meet them. In fact, it was not a natural choice. It should be the general who understood his plight, so he gave him a chance to fight.

Moreover, Saihu's strength is not too strong. For the soldiers of Hedong who have never been honed in battle after forming an army, it is a very good training target. Even if they lose, they are unlikely to have bad consequences.

Along with the transfer order, there is also a long summary of military information attached. The opening chapter outlines a general strategic goal setting, that is, to wipe out as many vital forces as possible in Saihu. As for the specific marching route, Xue Tao needs to make the actual balance and report it as soon as possible, and he will have various ministries and counties to support him along the way.

It was the first time for Xue Tao to go out to fight far away from the country. While he was excited, Xue Tao was inevitably a little nervous. Apart from memorizing the detailed military information provided by the Hongwu Army, he immediately sent people across the river to invite Xie Yi and Li Bing from Tongguan. The general came north not only to ask for advice on marching, but also after the Hedong soldiers left the country, the defense of Hedong still needed to be taken over by Tongguan, and the transactions that needed to be delivered also needed to be completed as soon as possible.
