It's April in this world, and the weather is getting warmer.
Since mid-March, Bianshui and Suiyang Canals have become very busy, with ships coming and going, transporting various supplies.
Near Liangjin Pier in the northeast of Bianliang City, a batch of grain has just been delivered.
A total of 200,000 dendrobiums of grain were shipped from Pengcheng, passing through Pei and Liang, and then transported to Chenliu.
The amount is not large, but Xuzhou has already raised one million grains of dendrobium to Qingzhou for disaster relief last year. It is already interesting enough that they will take another two hundred thousand grains, which highlights the "love" of the Xuzhou elders for Liang Gong, a fellow villager.
As soon as the food arrived, the strong men and women gathered nearby immediately stepped forward and drove large and small carts to the Liang Palace construction site.
Guanfeng Hall and Huangnv Palace have to be finished, and Lingbo Hall has to start construction, which will cost a lot of money.
For those refugees from Bingzhou, Jizhou, Sizhou and even Tuobadai, if there is an opportunity to provide work-for-relief, they must rush for it.
Everything will be fine, everything will work out. The first batch of refugees who built the palace city have been resettled and settled in Chenliu, Liang, Puyang, Ji, Dunqiu and other counties.
It is basically the best route for these refugees to provide work-relief for one or two years and then arrange for their resettlement.
Near the pier, there is also a large open-air dining hall.
A part of the refugees, old, weak, women and children were gathered here, working all night to make corn porridge, and sent it to the school field in the east of the city early in the morning to serve as meals for the sergeants - during the Cold Food Festival, fires were banned for three days.
In order to feed the sergeants and prevent them from fainting from hunger when they were arrayed in armor, almond paste and wheat flour were added to the porridge.
The refugees had started preparing the porridge a few days ago. They cooked the porridge all night last night, and their mouths watered while cooking. It was so fragrant and they were so hungry. But the sergeant who was in charge of them was very careful, and the guard Chen Qi stayed up all night.
The north of the city is supervising for today’s military parade.
At this time, the first group of refugees carrying cold porridge set off.
The motorcade meandered for several miles, made a long circle, and arrived at the edge of the school field.
When Chen Jin walked to the outskirts, he saw battalions of sergeants standing in awe with weapons, following orders from time to time, changing their formations, and finally the whole army shouted.
He then looked at the temporarily erected high platform. There were more than a hundred people standing on it, including officials and representatives of noble families from various places.
Chen Jin has seen the military parade more than once. Watching it again, it is no longer as shocking as the first time. However, many of the people watching the ceremony on the stage should be seeing it for the first time, especially those who came with their elders.
Young disciples, who are accustomed to drinking and drinking, occasionally watch the practice of their own bankers and guests. When have they ever seen such a solemn and solemn scene?
Chen Jin was a member of the Yingchuan noble clan and the sixth minister of the Liang Kingdom. He knew very well what the scholars thought.
How do you feel when you see me like this today?
I think back then, when Liang Gong's Silver Spear Army first stepped onto the official stage, Sima Yue disappeared after the failure of the Northern Expedition. When Luoyang was leaderless, hundreds of soldiers garrisoned in front of the Tai Chi Palace, which effectively deterred many careerists who attempted to cause rebellion.
Today's 18,000 people are arrayed in armor, which should be a comprehensive display of the essence of the Liang Gong's uprising for more than ten years.
Sometimes it doesn't make sense to reason, and telling others how powerful Mr. Liang is has no effect. They have to see it with their own eyes, so that it can be a deterrent.
Of course, he was not completely satisfied with Liang Gong.
He also complained about the recent restrictions on land occupation. However, his friendship with Liang Gong when he was young made him subconsciously defend Liang Gong: he had his own reasons.
Furthermore, he was a Liang Guoweiwei, and according to the regulations, he could occupy forty hectares of land, which was actually quite a lot.
He has land in Yingchuan outside Liang State, and a manor near Luoyang. The two places add up to more than 250 hectares. In other words, he actually owns about 300 hectares of land, and the land in Yingchuan is before Yongjia.
As for the Luoyang Manor, the Empress of Yongjia picked it up for nothing - someone from the Changshe Zhong family crossed south and gave him the land and part of the villagers.
In fact, the main property of these old people who have followed Liang Gong for many years is not in the Liang Kingdom. After the land occupation order came out, it was just inconvenient to go to the Liang Kingdom to seize land wantonly. The impact was indeed there, but not very big.
In this world, what else do you want? No one can do whatever they want, not even Liang Gong, let alone them. They can only tolerate each other.
After the cold porridge was delivered, some people were left to guard it, and the convoy returned to its original location and began to transport the second batch.
****
On the high platform, Shao Xun stood with his sword in hand, looking at each battalion.
"Zidao." He suddenly shouted.
"Ming Gong." Lu Zhi, who had become increasingly worried in the past month, stepped forward and responded.
"I heard that there was chaos in Hebei. Where is the person who swore to die for me?" Shao Xun asked.
Lu Zhi's heart trembled, and he said: "The generals of Jizhou have been following Ming Gong's orders for a long time, and Li Yuan has been thinking about Ming Gong's favor for a long time. Occasionally, there are small disturbances between his subordinates, which can be settled in a moment. Ming Gong is sitting in Bianliang, and all the county officials
I should be able to deal with it quickly."
"You have to destroy a few homes to know how powerful it is." Shao Xun said.
Lu Zhi sighed secretly and said: "I will definitely give an explanation to Duke Ming."
He is the Right Army Chief of the General, and it is his duty to put down the rebellion in Jizhou.
"Go to Yecheng and take charge." Shao Xun said, "Don't let anyone go."
"Yes." Lu Zhi responded.
Shao Xun glanced at the scholars from Henan and Yanzhou again.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. No matter what they thought in their hearts, just don't show off at this moment. If you can't stand the humiliation, you can join forces in private to rebel. If you break out at this time, the consequences will be bad and you won't even have the opportunity to join forces.
No.
Shao Xun withdrew his gaze and said again: "To manage the world, he must first build his country. The government of his country is related to the countryside. Every man's plowing and every woman's weaving are accumulated to support the national plan. Now I have reached the top ten.
It has been two years, the old principles have been disrupted, the new system has not been established, the rich are in disorder, and the poor have difficulty in standing up. As time goes by, political affairs are not announced, education is difficult to pass, Li and Yuan are insufficient, and the military and state supply are in short supply. Is this okay?"
Having said this, Shao Xun pointed to the 18,000 sergeants in the audience and said: "This generation has been fighting for a long time and is familiar with military affairs. It is not just about working hard for the king. Once the supply is lacking, food and clothing are exhausted, just like a wild beast out of the cage.
, where the masters and disciples came, everything was burned and looted. There were also those who broke through the sharp edges, beheaded generals and captured the flags. Their ferocity was already revealed, and the blades were sharp. They were no longer the submissive people they were in the past. If they blocked their way and captured their ambitions, they would
Invading the castle, burning it, and looting it are inevitable, and I don’t know how to advise them.”
After finishing speaking, he looked at Prime Minister Yu Chen and Shangshu Ling Pei Miao and others, saying: "The clearing of acres of land must not stop, but it is only limited to the fifteen counties. The matter of honoring officials has been pending for a long time, but it is still going on."
How long should we argue? Let’s get it done quickly, don’t delay.”
"As ordered." Yu Chen and others responded.
Shao Xun took another look at the county officials and government officials.
The words were spoken very clearly and the hammering was done well. So far, people like Wang Yan, Yu Chen, Lu Zhi, Pan Tao and others can actually understand it and are ready to take a small step back. On the contrary, it is the people below who are opposing it.
It's not a small thing, with all kinds of positive and negative consequences, and a lot of strange stories.
Let us use what happened today to shock them again. Let them think carefully, should they give in a small step happily, or should they gather their own troops and make a loss-lose situation for both parties?
The struggle for interests touches the soul the most, so torture your own soul.
These ferocious beasts can still be contained now. They still have some hope in you. But when they are completely disappointed, they will not be able to be contained.
After retracting his gaze, Shao Xun looked at another person: Guo Rong, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty who was captured on the Hanoi battlefield.
Shao Xun did not send him to Luoyang to increase his reputation. Instead, he pardoned his crime and worked with the military adviser Zhang Bin. This was mainly because a group of people came from Taiyuan to pretend to be his entourage.
Attended today's military parade.
Shao Xun waved, and Guo Rong immediately ran over and saluted: "Ming Gong."
"How is this soldier?" Shao Xun asked.
Guo Rong really watched it carefully just now. He read it from beginning to end and didn't miss a single thing.
Last year he turned against the enemy in Shanyang and surrendered. In fact, it was because of the general trend that he surrendered without even fighting.
When he was under Shi Le's tent, he spent most of his time hanging out with Shi Hu, mainly in Shangdang, Hanoi, and Jijun. He fought against Yi Congjun, Zhuosheng Army, etc., and also saw Yinqian Zuoying and Heiyi Army.
, but I have never commanded a fight directly.
At that time, I thought they were very strong when I saw them from a distance. Today, I saw 18,000 iron-armored warriors all at once. They were full of energy and skill, and their military formations could be changed quickly and accurately. The impact in my heart was very big.
Eighteen thousand! This fucking can drive more than 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers to work, which is more than enough to guard the fifteen counties of Liang Kingdom.
Just now, he heard a new name: "Bianliang Forbidden Army."
Of course, that was what people said when they were talking and joking in private, but it was extremely consistent with the actual situation.
With this army here, leaving aside other places, Liang Gong split the earth in fifteen counties, and there was no problem at all in becoming a prince.
Therefore, when he heard Shao Xun's question, he immediately replied: "There are more than 32,000 Pingyang forbidden troops, and only a few thousand warriors can compare with this army. The rest are not enough."
"With this army to attack Taiyuan, can Liu Yao and Shi Le stop it?"
"Liu Yao and Shi Le would be unlucky if they took Taiyuan to fight with the rising troops."
"However, there are dangers from mountains and rivers in Bingzhou, how to overcome them?"
"Why do you worry, Ming Gong?" Guo Rong said: "The heroes of Taiyuan are all the best in the world. After being captured, there is not a day when I don't think about the kindness of heaven and earth, and I am willing to return to the old land; there is not a day when I don't think about the virtues of my parents.
Vow to kill the jackal
Self-redemption. If Ming Gong's flag is pointed, he will win food and follow him; as soon as the heroes of Daliang arrive, they will open the city and welcome them from afar. Although it is dangerous to merge with the state, the hearts of the people will not recover. Since the British master is in the south, why should he be attached to the mediocre chief of the northern captives?
?”
After hearing this, Shao Xun chuckled and did not express his position directly.
Just like the surrender of the Shangdang, this matter requires them to unify their thoughts and clarify the interests. Otherwise, there will be a lot of nonsense and trouble.
After some time, he plans to send military counsel Wen Qiao to the north as his plenipotentiary representative to handle the matter in a unified manner.
When the general trend arrives, some things will become much easier.
The fall of Taiyuan did not last long, and Liu Yao may not have had time to establish a solid relationship, so there was an opportunity.
Warm cheers gradually erupted from the audience.
He was given a piece of silk and a piece of linen, and all eighteen thousand soldiers bowed to the ground.
Shao Xun glanced at the soldiers from all counties again, chuckled, got off the platform, and accepted the cheers from the soldiers.
After today's incident, I believe that the small thoughts in the minds of the nobles that cannot be put on the table will be wiped out.
They can only temporarily curb their ambitions and continue to lie dormant, silently waiting for Shao Xun to make a stupid move and reveal his flaws.
Chapter completed!
