In Tonglifang, mansions were built one after another at a speed far exceeding that of other villages, and they were loaned out one after another in June.
In the northwest corner of the square, there was the Xue family's house, which was originally the residence of Shangshe. After the renovation, it was given to Jing Haijun as the memorial hall.
Now that the saint has come to Luoyang, a large number of vassal towns in Chang'an will naturally move here as well.
Jinghai Haijin Memorial Hall was originally located in Chongrenfang, Chang'an. After moving to Luoyang, it was located in Tonglifang, which is located in the north of Nanshi City. It is a very lively place.
On this day, Jinzou officer Jiang Zhiwei left the Jinzou Courtyard. After leaving the square gate, he walked southward and turned into Nanshi.
Nanshi is probably the most prosperous place in Luoyang.
First, more and more ships anchored in Xintan, forming a cargo distribution and wholesale center. Then naturally, many merchants poured in, forming a trade center.
Logistics center - trade center - financial center, generally speaking, this is the development path, but the last step is very difficult, even impossible, unless there is sufficient currency supply. But no matter what, now this is indeed a trade
It’s more central than before.
The catering and entertainment industry that relies on the development of the trade center is naturally indispensable. This is a place where students who want to take the bachelor's degree like to gather, just like the Chang'an scholars who waited in the brothels for the news of the results. The prostitutes have extraordinary conversational skills, many talents, and they speak well.
Scholars like to gather here.
In fact, the officials of various vassals and towns also like to gather here - generally speaking, the personal safety of the officials is not a problem, and their status is relatively aloof. No one will touch them. If you really want to force the analogy, they are like later generations.
Diplomats have criminal immunity.
Jiang Zhiwei chose a teahouse and sat down. After a quick glance, he saw many familiar people.
Li Yao, a memorial officer in central Guizhou, Zhang Jixu, a memorial officer in the Qing Navy, Sun Jianzhong, a memorial officer in Chengde, Wang Faqian, a memorial officer in Cangjing, Zhuge Ke, a memorial officer in Shannan West Road...
In fact, despite fighting life and death in various towns, the relationship between the officials in Beijing is not necessarily bad. They need to exchange information and help each other. They often eat, drink, whore and gamble together. They can still be regarded as fair-weather friends.
.
Jiang Zhiwei is a descendant of the Jiang family in Aizhou and is the prime minister. He often gives some Annan local specialties as small gifts, so as soon as he came in, everyone greeted him one after another.
Follower Liao Huan stepped forward first, opened the table and chairs for Jiang Zhiwei, and asked what he wanted to eat and drink.
Liao Huan was also a son of an official, and his native place was Jiaozhi County, Jiaozhou. His ancestor Liao Youfang had passed the Jinshi examination in the Yuanhe period and was awarded the title of official scholar. He had close friendship with Liu Zongyuan and others.
Annan's style of writing and education are much better than those in the northwest where many Tibetan people gather.
"The Wei people fought well this time. Guan Kairun attacked Weizhou, and the two sides fought in array. As a result, the army was defeated and had to retreat to Xiangzhou. I think Guan Kairun has given up the idea of attacking Weizhou." The Qing navy advanced.
After the memorial official Zhang Jixu finished greeting Jiang Zhiwei, he continued the previous topic, only to hear him say: "But if the King of Xia wins in Huainan, or if he sends his army back north, there is still a fight to be done."
"What's the difference between the Wei soldiers? In terms of years of service in the army, they are longer than the Xia soldiers. In terms of martial arts and military formations, they are not inferior to the Xia soldiers. In terms of weapons and equipment, they are better than the Xia soldiers. In terms of military techniques and strategies, they are both from a family of generals that have been passed down for more than a hundred years.
, the meeting place." Li Yao said: "You all also know that the military battle in the battle formation is just that. In the past, the Wei soldiers won less and lost more. The main reason was that everyone had their own agenda, they were not united, and they were unable to do their best.
One is the envoy. The second is that the morale is a little low. In the old vassal town for more than a hundred years, there are more people who are fighting the first battle. The veteran oil man is just unwilling to fight to the death. If these two problems can be solved, I don’t think Wei Bo will
It's easy to fight, with 70,000 to 80,000 warriors, almost all of whom are veterans, with sophisticated equipment, and even the Xia people have to lose a few teeth."
This is true. However, some people disagree. If Wei Bon can unite internally, the sun will rise from the west. Although the old vassal town for more than a hundred years is stable, there are many internal nonsense things, so how can it be so easy to unite? Xia
If people know the opportunity, don't put too much pressure on Wei Bo, don't push too hard, and learn the tactics used by Cao Gong to deal with the two Yuan, they will have internal chaos.
"What happened to the Jin soldiers this time?" Zhuge Ke suddenly asked.
The Jin soldiers were not as brave as the Wei soldiers, and they were not as brave as them to fight to the death, which was shocking. This was visible to everyone. After hearing that Li Keyong was furious, they were all ready to come to Xingzhou to supervise the battle in person.
"There are rumors in Xingzhou that the King of Xia cares about the brotherhood with the King of Jin and is unwilling to kill his nephews. In the battle of Lu County in the past, Li Siben was captured. He was given good food, drink and hospitality, and was also given a brocade robe.
, said a lot of words, the joy of King Xia was beyond words. Looking at the other generals, Mi Zhicheng was beaten a lot. Brother An, oh, how miserable!" Li Yao sneered and said: "In this case,
, who wants to fight hard? Unless the King of Jin personally comes to rectify the troops, morale can be improved."
"This..." Everyone was speechless.
"Shao—King Xia is doing all these tricks." Sun Jianzhong said disdainfully.
Chengde's army has also sent troops, with more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry, currently stationed in Weizhou.
Wei Bing's victory gave them strong confidence, thinking that Xia Jun was nothing more than that. They both carried one head on two shoulders, who was worse than the other?
"It's a pity that the Huai army fought so poorly this time." Wang Fagan's face didn't look very good.
This time, Cangjing Town only sent a few troops to Weizhou in a symbolic way to participate in the grand alliance of towns in Hebei. The main force was still fighting with the Xia people in the De and Di area.
It's shameful to say that they were entangled by the Xia people's state army, and were even at a slight disadvantage. One general named Wang Jiao was the most troublesome. He could charge into the formation, set up ambushes, sneak attacks from behind, etc. There were many tricks and tricks.
, the Cangjing Town soldiers were so disgraced that they no longer dared to go south to Dizhou to plunder. They even gave up on the Clam Duo Salt Pond and did not dare to take it.
Heng Haijun was almost losing face among the towns in Hebei. Their performance was really bad, not much better than Yang Xingmi's.
"It's better to let Sun Ru occupy the land of Huainan. At least he can defeat Pang Shigu." As soon as Wang Fagan said these words, everyone sighed almost simultaneously.
There were hundreds of thousands of Huai soldiers, which was more than the total number of Yamen troops in the three towns of Chengde, Cangjing and Yiding. Being beaten like this made everyone feel a little uneasy.
You know, the Yang Xingmi Group is still on the rise. The veterans who have fought for many years are still there, and the generals are mostly from the north and have rich experience. If you can't win this, what else do you expect?
I heard that he is not in good health. If he dies, no matter who gets the power of Huainan and Xuan She, this group will go downhill. The internal friction will become greater and greater, the efficiency will become lower and lower, and the combat effectiveness will become weaker and weaker.
, I am afraid that I will only be able to defend the city from now on, and my ability to fight in the field will be lost.
The existence of the Huai army is very important to the anti-Shao forces in the north. Because it can contain a large number of Xia soldiers and prevent them from focusing on the north. There is no doubt that Yang Xingmi's failure will have a great impact on the towns in Hedong, Weibo and Chengde.
morale has been hit.
Fortunately, they still maintained their bottom line, using the navy to defend the Huaihe River, and even bullied the Xia Shou, Qi, Huang, and Hubei directions, but in the end they lost the ability to make progress and the threat was greatly reduced, so that was it.
The towns in Hebei still have to rely on themselves after all!
"I said, after the war in Hebei is over, there will probably be a good show, right?" Zhang Jixu said in a low voice.
He represented Liu Yin after the Qing Dynasty's military governorship. He was not particularly concerned about the war in the north, but he paid great attention to the possible change of dynasty in Luoyang and had been working hard to collect information in this regard.
The Qing Navy is the strongest among the five administrations, and its desire for expansion is very strong. If Shao Shude changes dynasties, Guangzhou will have to carefully consider whether to continue to obey the Tang Dynasty, or to submit to Shao Shude, or to
Why don't you just make yourself king?
In short, as long as Emperor Tang was alive, they would not rebel. If Emperor Tang abdicated, they would have to make their own plans.
"Have you lost your mind?" Li Yao cursed lightly and said, "It's nothing to talk about the war. Don't talk nonsense."
Zhang Jixu laughed and drank tea to hide it.
Jiang Zhiwei chatted casually while eating snacks.
The Jinzou officials in each town have close contact with the town. To a certain extent, they represent the extension of the will of the vassal town. He can see that with the end of the Huainan War, the pressure on the warlords in the north has increased sharply. If this time,
If Wei Bo suffers another big loss, the situation will become even more difficult.
Jinzou officials eat, drink, laugh and laugh on weekdays, which seems to be cool, but in the end you are still a member of this feudal town, and it is impossible not to be stressed.
He estimated that if the Hebei and Hedong coalition forces were defeated this time, the officials in front of him would receive orders to try to contact the King of Xia. If the King of Xia was willing to accept them as military envoys of the new dynasty, the whole country would basically be
After unification, there may be only a few stubborn vassal towns that are still unwilling to submit and still need military strikes. The others should be vassals and pay tribute. The world will be peaceful and the seas, rivers and rivers will be clear.
If the King of Xia insists on asking them to hand over power and not allow hereditary inheritance, then they will still have to fight.
Yang Xingmi's failure had a considerable impact.
Jiang Zhiwei sighed. From his own heart, of course he didn't want King Xia to succeed in cutting down the feudal vassalage. Even Jiedushi Mo Zaisi's thoughts were hard to say. Who doesn't want to be a local emperor?
If Mo Shuai stands on the side of King Xia, he will lose the hearts of the big families in Annan. If he stands on the side of Annan, he will face the wrath of King Xia for punishing traitors.
It feels so difficult!
Judging from the current situation, Mo Shuai probably has no intention of betraying the King of Xia, because he has never made up his mind to merge with the Annan Tu people and localize the Mo family. This can be seen from the fact that he married his nephew to a bride from the Central Plains.
The Jiang family came from a scholarly family in Aizhou and did not like the local wealthy people in Annan very much.
He is vulgar and illiterate, ignorant and backward, cruel and murderous. He also has a morbid fascination with a family like the Jiang family, and wants to marry a woman from their family to improve his status.
Bah, who wants to get married to barbarians like you? Ever since the Jiang family changed their surname to Han and established the rules of farming, studying and inheriting the family, they no longer want to deal with such people.
If possible, they would prefer to continue to be part of the imperial court. So far, what Mo Shuai has done is quite to their liking.
He will continue to pay attention to the war in Hebei, hoping that King Xia will achieve a great victory.
