Hua Yun is the general of Yuhang Yingyang Mansion. Yuhang Yingyang Mansion is the only military mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, which reflects the imperial court's strategy of moving Guanzhong to control all directions. As the only military mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, the scale of the Yuhang Yingyang Mansion is slightly larger.
It is between the Shangfu and the Zhongfu, but the grade of General Yingyang is still based on the middle military mansion. Because the scale of Yuhang Yingyang Mansion is slightly larger, it has two thousand soldiers who are both farmers and soldiers. However,
Li Jing was not satisfied with only 2,000 soldiers. At his suggestion, Hua Yun recruited many more soldiers. Within a few months, the entire Yuhang Yingyang Mansion had grown to 5,000 soldiers.
The Fubing system is a very special military system. Registered Fu soldiers can receive land allocated by the court, and can also enjoy the preferential treatment of being exempted from paying taxes. However, while enjoying the preferential treatment, unless there is a war, the court will not bear the food and salary of the Fu soldiers.
Because the Yingyang Mansion in Yuhang originally had only 2,000 personnel, the extra 3,000 soldiers were actually Hua Yun's private soldiers. These people would not own the land provided by the court for free, nor would they be exempt from taxes.
Because of Changshan Village and Changshan Horse and Carriage Company, these three thousand private soldiers can be well hidden and will not be known to outsiders. However, the food and salary of these three thousand soldiers must be raised by Hua Yun himself. Chang
There is some land in the mountain village, which can barely support the villagers' livelihood. After the beginning of spring, the production of the Changshan Salt Farm has become normal, which has provided some support, but it is not enough to support an army of three thousand people. As for the Changshan Carriage and Horse Racing Industry, it has just started.
With the world in chaos, business will become increasingly difficult.
Hua Yun is able to have these three thousand private soldiers. The biggest help comes from the Moling Xie family, but the biggest trouble also comes from the Moling Xie family.
Ever since Liu Ziqiu's trip to Moling Mausoleum last year, the Xie family has been secretly supporting Changshan Village. The Xie family is the most prominent family in Jiangnan. It not only has a profound cultural heritage, but also has strong financial resources. With the support of the Xie family, it maintains a
It is not difficult to raise an army of three thousand people. However, the Xie family also has many eyes and ears. They learned about Yang Guang's death before Changshan Village, but they never said it and were waiting and watching.
Just last night, Xie Zhiwen, the son of the Xie family, suddenly came to Yuhang County, and Wei Zheng, the magistrate of Yanguan County, came with him. Wei Zheng also became the magistrate of Yanguan County through the relationship of the Xie family. He actually contacted Xie
A link between the family and Changshan Village. Because everyone deliberately concealed the relationship between Liu Ziqiu and Gao Xiuer, the Xie family did not know that the person behind the scenes of Changshan Village would be a woman. So Xie Zhiwen went directly to Hua Yun and Li Jing, and by the way
Wei Zheng was also invited over. In his eyes, without Liu Ziqiu, these three people were the ones who could really speak in Changshan Village.
The four of them came to the small study and sat down. Xie Zhiwen said straight to the point: "The emperor died on the way to the army. I heard that sixty-seven out of ten sergeants who accompanied him were killed in battle. Liu Ziqiu was also on the Western Expedition. I wonder if you have him.
information?"
The reason why the Xie family is willing to support Changshan Village is because Xie Wengshan and his son are optimistic about Liu Ziqiu. To use a modern saying, they want to cultivate him as a potential stock. For this reason, Xie Yun even betrothed his most beloved daughter to him. If
Liu Ziqiu died in the war, so the Xie family no longer needed to support Changshan Village. In Xie Wengshan's eyes, Li Jing, Wei Zheng and Hua Yun were all unworthy figures.
In fact, this was the answer the three of them wanted to know. When Xie Zhiwen mentioned it, Hua Yun blurted out: "Hua is also worried about this matter."
Although Wei Zheng was equally anxious in his heart, he was unwilling to show it in front of Xie Zhiwen. He chuckled and said, "My Lord, Jiren has his own destiny, and nothing will happen to him."
Li Jing also nodded and said, "I can trust my second brother's skills."
Although Xie Zhiwen is young, he has lived in such a large aristocratic family since he was a child. His ability to observe people's emotions is naturally far better than ordinary people. He has long heard that Wei Zheng and Li Jing's words were perfunctory, and Hua Yun's performance is the true expression of their hearts. Xie Zhiwen
He chuckled, no longer entangled in Liu Ziqiu's whereabouts, waved his hands, and said: "Since you all have confidence in Brother Ziqiu, Xie won't say more. But Xie also heard one thing. Although the Wang family is in ruins,
However, one of his disciples, Wang Bo, was living in Hebei and took advantage of the chaos to form a team. You all know something about the grudges between Xie Wang and his family, so I’m afraid Wang Bo won’t let it go.”
As the news of Yang Wen's death gradually spread, thieves were everywhere in Hebei and Shandong. Even Lu Mingyue, who had disappeared for a long time, reappeared. Naturally, Li Jing and others heard the news. Now Wang Bo also rose up, and the Xie family had
It is human nature to be worried. Wei Zheng and Li Jing looked at each other, cupped their hands and said, "Don't worry, sir, the Changshan Carriage and Horse Guild will keep an eye on him and will tell you as soon as there is any news."
Xie Zhiwen shook his head and said: "My father asked Xie to come here. He has something to discuss with you. He hopes to station a troop of troops in Moling Town just in case."
The Xie family is the largest financial backer in Changshan Village. Without the support of the Xie family, Hua Yun and others would not have been able to secretly build such an armed force. The Xie family's request is reasonable and reasonable.
Li Jing smiled and said: "This is easy. Tomorrow we will mobilize a thousand soldiers and horses to secretly station in Moling Town. We must ensure the safety of the Xie family."
There are many children in the Xie family, but they are all scholars. Xie Zhiwen naturally feels at ease with such a force to ensure safety. But when leaving, Xie Zhiwen said something else: "The north is becoming chaotic, and the Xie family's
The business will definitely be affected a lot, and I’m afraid it will be difficult to provide more support to Changshan Village in the future.”
Xie Zhiwen's words are true. There has indeed been unrest in the north. In addition to the emergence of three emperors in Longxi, Chang'an, and Luoyang at the same time, there are also more than a dozen groups of thieves, large and small, among which the larger ones include Lu Mingyue and Wei Xiaofei.
, Wang Bo, Xu Yuanlang and others.
Some local officials also became restless. General Ying Yangfu Lang of Mayi killed Liu Wuzhou, the prefect Wang Rengong, gathered more than 10,000 troops, and established himself as the prefect, which seemed to mean separatist rule. Wang Shichong, the eunuch of Jiangdu Palace, was entrenched in the Huainan area, and he also began to recruit troops, and gradually
Show dissatisfaction.
The Xie family had their own sources of information, but Xie Zhiwen just said it lightly and did not discuss it in depth. However, everyone here is smart and naturally understood what he meant. This not only added to Hua Yun's already worried mind
The two thousand private soldiers in Hua Yun's hands became a hot potato. Without the financial support of the Xie family, these two thousand troops would have no food and salary. And these people have undergone rigorous military training and will definitely
It cannot be disbanded hastily. Once disbanded, it is hard to say whether these people will become thieves.
This is Hua Yun's biggest trouble. He must try his best to retain these two thousand private soldiers or find a way out for them. Fortunately, Xie Zhiwen is just throwing stones to ask for directions, and there is still room for maneuver. But Li Jing and Wei Zheng wanted to
Going even further than Huayun, they have considered finding other sources of income to reduce their dependence on the Xie family.
…
Liu Ziqiu was far away in the West Sea. The roads were blocked and the news was not smooth. He did not even know the news that Li Yuan had supported Yang Gao. Liu Ziqiu was also eager to know the situation in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, but the news could not be transmitted, and he had nothing to do. However,
Liu Ziqiu's most important task at present is to stabilize the situation in the West Sea. He even ordered to cut off the connection with Longxi and adopted a policy of isolation from the country.
Isolating the country in the course of Chinese history is definitely not a compliment, nor is it a good strategy, but Liu Ziqiu could only do this. Although he eliminated Murong Fuyun, there is still a long way to go before he can fully control Xihai County.
To leave. At this time, stability is the overriding issue, and the external influence on the West China Sea must be reduced.
Time is like a river, flowing away slowly and continuously, and more than twenty days have passed in the blink of an eye. The ice and snow covering the wasteland of the West Sea gradually melted, and the green grass stubbornly dug out of the soil, quickly
The earth is covered with a layer of green, and the grazing season has arrived.
Due to the defeat of Murong Fuyun, Xihai lost a large number of people. But things always have two sides, and bad things also have a good side. The loss of population also made the originally tight grassland in Xihai become more abundant, and various tribes were destined not to rise up for grassland.
Controversy, it will be a calm and peaceful grazing season.
The ice on the West Sea Lake has completely melted, and the blue lake water is like a sapphire embedded in the grassland, shining brightly. The sky is also blue, with scattered white clouds. The wind blows, and the clouds in the sky change into various shapes from time to time.
, the green grass by the lake is rippling in the wind.
Liu Ziqiu took Lin Qiaoer, his mother and son, and Yang Tan for a walk by the lake. Seeing such beautiful scenery, his anxious mood relaxed and he couldn't help but chant loudly: "Chilechuan, at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. The sky is like a dome, covering the surrounding fields.
.The sky is blue, the fields are vast, the grass is blown by the wind and cattle and sheep are visible. The men are bloody and heroic. When I call out for me, the rivers and seas reverberate. The mountains are silent and the water is mournful. Running vertically and horizontally highlights the edge."
Although Jin Bo was sinister and cunning, he was still talented and often recited poems and composed poems at home. Lin Qiaoer was naturally intelligent, and over time, he could also hear some meanings. Now when I hear Liu Ziqiu reciting this "Chile Song", I can't help but feel sorry for him.
Liu Ziqiu looked at him with admiration and praised: "I didn't expect that your Majesty would use all his strength in civil and military affairs."
Liu Ziqiu shook his head and smiled and said: "I did not write this poem. I just borrowed other people's poems to express my emotions based on this situation. One day, if there are no disputes in the world, I really hope to herd horses and sheep in this wilderness.
, a happy life."
Most of Jin Bo's poems that he usually sings are romantic, and it's understandable that Lin Qiaoer didn't know that these were poems from his predecessors. Since what happened that night, the relationship between Lin Qiaoer and Liu Ziqiu has made breakthrough progress.
Although Liu Ziqiu stated that he did not do it, she still leaned in Liu Ziqiu's arms and said softly: "Even if it is not done by the king, it is extraordinary if it comes from the mouth of the king."
Liu Ziqiu laughed, and just as he was about to explain it to her, he saw Ji Rentai coming on a flying horse and said loudly: "My lord, Princess Qianyu is here!"
