Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 718: Five Years of Yonghui
Yonghui five years.

After the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Yonghui appointed General Cheng Yaojin of Zuowei as the general manager of the march on Congshan Road, Wang Wendu as the deputy general manager of the march, Su Haizheng as the general manager of the march, Zhou Zhidu as the deputy general manager, and Su Dingfang as the former military manager.

In other words, Su Dingfang, who was almost idle after four years of Zhenguan, showed his talents again in the Battle of Guiduanshui in the conquest of Goguryeo. He was promoted to General Youtunwei and Duke of Linqing County for his merits.

During the Tang Dynasty, it was often much easier for generals to be knighted for their military exploits than for civil servants.

There is nothing wrong with this, people sacrifice their lives for it.

From Fan Zheng's perspective, Cheng Yaojin actually played a supporting role in this battle. The emperor's intention was very obvious, to use the old to lead the new and enhance Wang Wendu's prestige.

The preparation of the Congshan Army was to conquer Ashina Helu, the Shabolo Khan of the Western Turks.

The military preparations are basically in place. Although the Weiwei Shaoqing Yuchi Baolin is a bit dandy, she is still dedicated to her duties.

No way, this guy Cheng Yaojin even dares to fight with him, Aye Yuchi Jingde, so who does Yuchi Baolin mean to him?
Can't afford to offend.

Facing Cheng Yaojin, who was salivating and eloquent, Gao Xingxing, the minister of household affairs, could only smile bitterly and avoid it, but Zhang Xiangxiang, the minister of household affairs, stood up and stood up.

"General Manager, the subordinates dare not comment on the conquest, but the money and food are limited. If we cannot come back within a year, we are in danger of running out of food."

Zhang Xiangxi was the heir to the Duke of Tan, and was the eldest son of Tanxiang Duke Zhang Gongjin. He was confident in his speech and did not back down because Cheng Yaojin always acted like a fool.

Fan Zheng was slightly surprised: "The imperial court's money and food supply are so tight?"

Zhang Elephant replied calmly: "No, the imperial court still has enough money and food, but there is no guarantee that it can be replenished at any time."

Fan Zheng reacted instantly, it was still the damn transportation capacity restriction.

It is impossible for so many civilians to serve without limit. When the transportation of money and food is restricted, it will always affect the supplies of the Congshan Army.

How else could Lao Du write "There is a limit to killing people, and all countries have their own borders"?

Everyone likes to expand territory, but the prerequisite is that supplies, transportation, and soldiers can keep up.

Fan Zheng was sure that when Cheng Yaojin arrived in the Western Turks, he would support the war with war. This would reduce some of the burden of supplies, but it would damage his reputation.

Cheng Chuxia, the general secretary of the prince, was called over by Cheng Yaojin, and it seemed that he planned to pave the way for him.

Ahem, in principle, the Tang Dynasty did not allow fathers, sons, or brothers to join the army, but principles are flexible.

The father and son Guo Xiaoke and Guo Daizhao who died in the battle are the best interpretation of "principle".

The news of the establishment of the Congshan Army spread throughout Chang'an City, and the rangers who sprung up like mushrooms came to join in the fun again.

Rangers from Yongzhou, Luozhou, and Bingzhou gathered in Chang'an, each carrying a horizontal sword on his waist, and the wealthy ones even brought their own horses.

Of course, it's just a pack horse, they can't afford war horses.

Fan Zheng didn't expect that more than ten young men from Dunhuafang would join the Congshan Army with high spirits.

General Shilang and Dunhuafang Zheng Lu Yisheng waved his hand, and a pack horse, a horizontal sword, and a barrier sword all came out of the workshop, which attracted cheers from the residents.

The students in the workshop were even excited, saying that they would join the army even after becoming adults.

In this era, except for the wandering knights, the real poor could not become soldiers. The requirement of a group of six packs could scare away the poor.

Even donkeys and mules can be substituted, and the price will not be much less.

But it is not absolute. For example, when recruiting soldiers or border troops, packhorses and other items are often not needed.

The overall mood is exciting, but the spirit of the people is not necessarily good.

After going back and forth for many years, what I got was not the jingling Kaiyuan Tongbao, but the talisman. Who could not be depressed?

You can't resist, but you can't let the young and old in the family get away with it, right?

Although civilians have a hard time, they are much more comfortable than the criminals raised everywhere. At least they will not be whipped easily.
-
Zhaoyi Wuzhao gave birth to a daughter, but the woman's constitution was weak and she died at full term.

In this era, even the royal family is bound to die young, let alone the people.

The main goddess of the emperor is enshrined in Deye Temple, and eminent monks chant sutras for salvation every day.Regarding Wu Zhao's personal murder of women, the source is "New Book of Tang". Although it is more in line with Wu Zhao's personality, there is no accurate basis.

"Tang Huiyao" records that "the daughter born to Zhaoyi died violently, and the king and queen were reported to kill her."

"Old Book of Tang" does not mention this matter at all.

Even Luo Binwang, a master of composition, did not mention this matter at all in "On behalf of Li Jingye to discuss Wu Zhaoxu".

To put it bluntly, if Queen Wang really wanted to be killed, why not kill Li Hong?

Emperor Yonghui couldn't see this truth, and neither could the officials?
Therefore, it is okay to brag about the murder of women as a rumor, but it cannot withstand scrutiny.

So, in March, Emperor Yonghui took Wu Zhao and quickly went to the Wannian Palace in Linyou County, Qizhou - the former Jiucheng Palace.

Out of sight, out of mind, no wonder the late emperor always liked to go to the palace.

In the prefectures and counties passed along the way, prisoners who were not the most heinous were all pardoned.

At the same time, Yan Lide, Minister of Industry, led [-] civilians to repair Luoguo (outer city) in Chang'an.

then……

Wu Zhao was pregnant again.

I can only sigh at the powerful fertility of these two.

Fan Zheng met with Han Tiaobang, Tubo's foreign minister (the same as Honglu Qing) in Honglu Temple.

Han Tiaobang is an official from the "Lun" department, not an official from the "Shang" department.

"The foreign ministers came to visit me in the cold, and in response to the order of praise, I donated a hundred good horses and a big house to the heavenly state."

Tubo horses are very capable in crossing mountains and ridges, can withstand rough materials, and are easy to care for.

The big tent, that is, the big tent, is five feet high, with the edges 27 steps from the center on all sides. When placed on a cart, it can become a mobile palace.

"Your country's Zanpu should not have solved the problem. At this time, it should be ordered by the big talk, right?"

Fan Zheng smiled broadly, but his words were like a knife piercing his heart.

Look sideways at Zhu - are you Moro?

Han Tiao smiled, and the two clusters of plateau red on his face were particularly eye-catching: "The big talk is also based on Zanpu's will to manage politics."

The master calmly pushed away Fan Zheng's words.

Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway - Da Lun was dedicated to governing Tibet for Zanpu.

Only when masters compete with each other can communication be smooth.

"Tubo has always been respectful to the Tang Dynasty. In the past, Wang Xuance asked for reinforcements, and Tubo sent troops to Dongdaixiang to help; when the Khan ascended the throne today, Zanpu Songtsen Gampo immediately sent an envoy to meet him."

"To think that Tubo has never disrespected its ministers' courtesy. Why did the Tang Dynasty's Heavenly Army ascend Mount Zongbala?"

Han Tiaobang knew that the confusing dispute between Tubo and Tuyuhun could not be settled, and the Tang Dynasty was obviously crooked in this regard, so he simply stopped talking about it.

Being able to use words to order the Heavenly Army to retreat from Zongbala Mountain was a success for Tubo.

Fan Zheng chuckled lightly: "The theory is overestimated. Below Zongbala Mountain, the eight kingdoms of Baigou Qiang, Bailan Qiang, Dangxiang Qiang, and Xishan are all vassal states or Jisu of the Tang Dynasty."

"Therefore, the Tang Dynasty had the obligation to inspect the vassal states and exterminate the old and young who were hiding in them, but it had nothing to do with Tubo. I think it was because Gar's theory was too sensitive."

In diplomatic relations, there are many times when lies are told with open eyes, not to mention that the ascending army has not even crossed Zongbala Mountain, so it is not easy for Tibet to find out what they are talking about.

Remember, Tubo only occupies half of Zombala Mountain.
