Li Chengzhong became more and more admired for the calendar of this era, because its estimation of farming seasons and predictions of weather changes were quite accurate! As soon as the light snow in the solar term arrived, the first snow in Yingzhou changed from the hazy
It rained down from the sky, covering the walls and streets of Liucheng in fluttering patterns.
As soon as the east gate of Liucheng opened, ten large vehicles filed out, heading towards Yan County along the road that had been trampled by an increasing number of merchants and passers-by in recent months.
Traveling in the snow is not a good plan, but Gao Mingbo doesn't have to worry about that much. In addition to starting the site construction of the Yingzhou Army Headquarters Bureau of Investigation and Statistics as soon as possible, he also wants to see his unloved and familiar streets as soon as possible.
, aftertaste the taste of pig skin jelly. At the same time, he has an urge to prove himself to his mother, to prove that his life has made a huge change, to prove that he has achieved gratifying glory after hard work, although this glory is like Jinyi
Generally, Night Walk cannot be shown in full, but at least, after the implementation of the new military rank system, he can already show off his status as an eighth-grade Xuanjie Colonel, not to mention that he also has an identity as a member of the United Front Work Department of the Yuhou Division of the headquarters.
You know, this is an official of the Tang Dynasty, not like those officials in the Bohai Kingdom who are full of earthy smell!
This is a special operation jointly carried out by the Yingzhou Army Headquarters and Chang Shi's Mansion. Chang Shi's Mansion came forward to convene and organize the caravan, and the Yingzhou Army Headquarters Investigation and Statistics Bureau sent people to act as the general office to open the Bohai Sea country's trade routes eastward.
, and based on the actual situation, a secret intelligence station covered by shops was established in Bohai. Gao Mingbo, who was born in Bohai, naturally became the inevitable choice of the "General Office", leading this caravan consisting of three merchants and fifty people.
Head east.
Three carts were loaded with white porcelain shipped from the customs. Two carts were filled with silk and silk. There were also four carts piled with various pens, inks, paper and inkstones produced in the Central Plains. Gao Mingbo’s preference for Bohai people
Men'erqing knows that these goods produced in the Tang Dynasty are the favorites of the nobles and officials of the Bohai Kingdom. In fact, no matter what they are, as long as they are shipped from the Tang Dynasty, they will become the targets of the upper-class dignitaries of the Bohai Kingdom.
This is a kind of fashion, which dominated the life style of the Tibetan people around Datang in this era, affecting their every word and deed.
Even Gao Mingbo himself couldn't explain what he was thinking. As a native of Bohai and a member of the common people born into a wealthy family, Gao Mingbo and his companions were deeply influenced by this custom when he was young.
Being proud of using things from the Tang Dynasty, and being proud to speak the dialect of the Tang Dynasty. Of course, there is also a lot of jealousy. Gao Mingbo and the young people he knew once despised and scolded the merchants from the Tang Dynasty.
Those Tang people held grudges for their arrogance. But no one could tell how much of it was out of inferiority and how much was out of envy.
Just like now, once he truly became an official of the Tang Dynasty, he immediately felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart. He completely agreed with the simple view that Bohai people were actually people of the Tang Dynasty. For Gao Mingbo, this point he now
It is becoming more and more certain that since every generation of Bohai kings must accept the canonization of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and since the Bohai Sea is governed by the Tang Dynasty as the suzerain, and since the Tang Dynasty treats the Bohai Sea by restraining Mizhou, why are the Bohai people not from the Tang Dynasty?
Investigating the root cause, maybe he, like all Bohai people before, was actually frustrated that he could not be born into the Tang Dynasty. But today, when Gao Mingbo became an official of the Tang Dynasty, he became a man deeply appreciated by General Li. When talking to his trusted confidants, he couldn't bear it any longer. He desperately wanted to tell his mother, his family members who looked down on him and his father who looked down upon him, and at the same time, he also told his friends that he was Gao Mingbo. Through my own efforts, yes, relying entirely on myself and without anyone's help, I became a Tang Dynasty person, instead of respecting the Tang Dynasty as the main vassal country.
Oh, no, he felt that he should tell them that, as General Li said, the people of the vassal state are also Tang people and are the subjects of the Tang Dynasty. The Bohai Kingdom is the same as the Khitan, Xi, and Shiwei, and its relationship with the Tang Dynasty is like that of Lu Long , Wei Bo, there is essentially no difference between Cheng De and Datang!
Gao Mingbo was full of thoughts along the way. He led the caravan on the hazy business road. Every time he took a step, he felt a burst of lightness and expectation. Thanks to the accurate calendar, the light snow day was indeed light snow, not heavy snow. By dusk, the snow had stopped and the roads were no longer muddy.
Since Yingzhou reached an agreement with Pingzhou last month, and Pingzhou organized manpower to level the road from Liucheng to Yanjun, there have been several post stations on this road. Gao Mingbo and his party happened to arrive at one of them, where they unloaded their cars and stayed. That night, after having a full meal, the merchants urged the coachmen to check the shafts and other parts of the carts. The current situation was good, only one shaft was slightly damaged and needed to be replaced. Two of the ten carts were carrying carts. There are spare parts, so there is no need to worry. Stay overnight and rest, and continue the journey the next day.
After passing through Yan County and passing through Huaiyuan, the caravan gradually left Yingzhou and continued eastwards to reach the vast land of Liaodong, which is 500 miles away. This fertile land was originally under the jurisdiction of the Andong Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty. During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, There used to be a large number of troops gathered here. At its peak, the four governor's offices of Xincheng Prefecture, Gebu Prefecture, Liaocheng Prefecture, and Jian'an Prefecture all stood side by side. Together with Yingzhou Prefecture, the Tang Dynasty once stationed more than ten people outside the pass. Thousands of horses and horses, wherever the horse's hooves come, all tribes surrender.
It's a pity that the past has passed, the city is dilapidated, things have changed and people have changed.
After the Tang Dynasty withdrew from Liaodong, no one controlled it, and it gradually became an ownerless land. The Bohai Kingdom waited for a few more years, and seeing that there seemed to be no sign of the Tang Dynasty returning, it quietly sent troops to occupy several important places. It became a land that the Bohai Kingdom did not dare to declare. Later, the Khitans rose up and fought repeatedly with the Bohai Kingdom here. As a result, war broke out in Liaodong and the people were scattered. How could the Khitan military front be able to withstand the current Bohai Sea? As of today, the new city on the land of Liaodong has fallen into the hands of the Khitan Wukui tribe. The Bohai Kingdom has also withdrawn from Liaocheng and Jian'an and retracted into its territory. Even its own Fuyu Prefecture has been captured by the Khitan Diela tribe. , it can be said that the situation was extremely bad. As a result, the land of Liaodong became even more desolate, and tens of thousands of refugees fled to the Wugu River Basin in the south, where they cultivated livestock to avoid the war in the north.
After leaving Huaiyuan Military City, there are already few people. In the past two years, the Khitan Wukai Tribe and Bohai have fought fiercely here. After leaving this land, the earth became even more empty and lonely.
After walking for half a day, we can already see the city of Liao. The city walls are very large, far beyond Huaiyuan Military City and Yan County, and can almost catch up with Liucheng. Unfortunately, with the Wukai tribe occupying the new city in the north, the defeated Bohai army did not dare to stay in this city.
, had already packed up their belongings and fled back to the country. This panic infected the people of Liaocheng, and they packed up their belongings and fled south, leaving behind an empty city filled with crows and guinea pigs.
Firstly, the Khitan Wukai tribe was not interested in the empty city with no human beings, and secondly, they really did not have time to occupy it - they quickly lost their main force in Lumingwazi, and almost half of the tribe's population and strength were lost.
So the city was empty. When Gao Mingbo led the caravan into the city, he felt very panicked and extremely scary. They did not dare to stay here and passed directly through the city.
Of course, the road is not completely deserted. Some bold residents and the old and the weak who are unwilling to leave their homes are still struggling to survive in this area. At the same time, the Khitan Wukui tribe's rangers and horse thieves who spontaneously gather to steal are also often seen.
However, this is not a problem for Gao Mingbo. Most of the more than 50 people escorting the convoy are strong and well-equipped with weapons and horses. Ten of them are operatives of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics established by Gao Mingbo. Each of them is equipped with a hand crossbow, so
The combat power is really not weak. What's more, Gao Mingbo himself has the brand name of the United Front Work Office of Yuhousi, Yingzhou Army Headquarters, and has identity certificates issued by Yingzhou Army Headquarters and Chang Shi's Mansion. How can ordinary people dare to mess with him?
Gao Mingbo and others once encountered the Khitan Wu Kui tribe's cavalry on the road. At that time, about ten Wu Kui tribe's cavalry came from afar and circled around the caravan with a very unkind look on their faces. Gao Mingbo was there
While putting the caravan on alert, they showed their official badges and government certificates. These Khitan talents shouted and left unwillingly. In fact, the yamen of the Yingzhou Army Headquarters did not have any badges except the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but Gao Ming
Bo couldn't reveal his identity as a spy to others at will. In order to show his identity conveniently, he specially applied for and made a waist badge of the United Front Work Department of Yuhousi.
The waist card does not work every time, at least in front of those horse thieves. But when everyone in the caravan showed their gleaming weapons, and when the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics operatives loaded their crossbows with arrows,
When they were shooting, the horse thieves finally realized that what was in front of them was not a fat sheep, but a hungry wolf that was more ruthless than them, so they turned around decisively and "the wind tightened and screamed" in despair.
On the tenth day after leaving Liucheng, the caravan finally entered Bohai Country.
The western part of the Bohai Kingdom borders the Tang Dynasty. From north to south, there are four prefectures and two capitals, namely Fuyu Prefecture, Changling Prefecture, Yalu Prefecture and Nanhai Prefecture. The West Capital and Nanjing of the five capitals of the Bohai State are located in Yalu Prefecture and Nanhai Prefecture respectively.
Among Nanhai Prefecture. Today, most of Fuyu Prefecture has fallen into the hands of the Khitan Tribe. The western part of Changling Prefecture and the northwest of Yalu Prefecture are also war-torn areas. The main forces of Bohai are stationed in Hezhou and Zhengzhou, one in the north and one in the south.
Think of it as the gateway to Xijing.
