He was a veteran of the martial arts. When he was a judge in the shogunate in eastern Zhejiang, he personally experienced military chaos. What happened in Hezhong City did not surprise him at all.
This is the virtue of warriors, and they generally don't have much ambition. They are basically satisfied after robbing, and can calm down for a long time, and then wait until the next conflict breaks out.
Tielin's army entered the city with ruthless tactics and probably killed more than a thousand or two thousand people.
Feng Yanqing was too lazy to count, so he quickly arrived at Duyu Housi under the guidance.
There were signs of scorch everywhere in the government office, and almost one-third of the building was burned down.
The air was filled with the smell of blood, and some soldiers were cleaning the blood stains on the ground.
Feng Yanqing secretly sighed. The Yamen, which symbolized the highest military power in the feudal town, was actually massacred and burned by a group of rebels.
Among the warriors these days, who is safe?
Maybe not. Even the emperor is not safe. This world is really...
"Your Majesty, you might as well continue talking." Shao Shude sat behind the desk and said.
"Huh?" Feng Yanqing was stunned.
There is still the faint sound of weapons clashing on the street, but it doesn't matter?
"Where did you talk about before?" Feng Yanqing coughed unnaturally.
"The matter of building Zhongdu."
"Oh, Zhongdu..." Feng Yanqing also sat down, collected his thoughts, and said: "Do you know, Commander-in-Chief, that since the Sui Dynasty, Hezhong has been owned by the capital?"
The so-called "capital from Jingyi" mainly means supplying food to Chang'an.
"In the third year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, grain from Fen and Jin was shipped to the capital, and Puzhou was the transshipment place." Feng Yanqing continued: "In the third year of Emperor Xianheng's reign, Guanzhong was hungry, so grain from Jin was shipped to Jin, and millet from Jiangcang was used to support it. Kaiyuan
In the 21st year, Pei Yaoqing served as the Jianghuai transshipment envoy, but he also oversaw the transportation of Jiangcang millet to Jin. The millet and wheat from Hebei states were transported to Puzhou together, and together with the Jin Jiang millet, they were exported to the capital.
At that time, the three prefectures of Jin, Jiang, and Fen provided grain, and Puzhou provided transportation to support the capital."
The two of them were sitting here talking, and someone was serving tea. Behind them, the soldiers were still carrying the corpses, which was against the law.
"Jiangfen is indeed a good place." Shao Shude nodded and agreed with Feng Yanqing's statement:.
Strangely, Puzhou is mostly in plains, but in the area southwest of Hedong Road, the grain output is not as good as that of Shanxi, Jiang, and Fenzhou. This may be related to the fact that there are more water conservancy projects in the Fen River Basin and there are not so many saline-alkali lands.
For example, Longmen County, which has the highest grain output, belongs to Jiangzhou. During the Zhenguan period, when Changsun Shu was the county magistrate, he dug stone canals and Ma'anwu canals to irrigate fertile fields and harvested ten stones per mu (?). In the second year of Kaiyuan, a Longmen warehouse was built in Longmen County.
Store grain.
After the difficulties, the construction of Jiangzhou water conservancy projects has become bigger and bigger.
During the reign of Emperor Dezong, Wei Wu was appointed as the governor of Jiangzhou, and he dug 13 canals to divert the Fen River into Jiangzhou and "opened them up around Jiangzhou", so that the whole Jiangzhou "was bathed in its water".
Generally speaking, there are Fenshui, Jiangshui, Sushui and Gudui Spring in Jiangzhou. It has rich water resources and numerous plains. At the same time, there are many good officials and water conservancy projects are built frequently, so the grain output is large.
Zengjingzhao Weishi now has a very good reputation among the people of Jiangzhou, and even a monument was erected in his memory.
"If we seize food, Puzhou will never be able to overthrow the sky." Feng Yanqing said bluntly: "If we don't support officials and government soldiers, Puzhou will be self-sufficient and even have a slight surplus. But if we support tens of thousands of government troops
, is not enough.”
This "not enough", of course, does not mean not enough food, but not enough use.
The yamen soldiers were given two bushels of grain every month, but could he really eat so much? He couldn't eat it. In fact, this was part of his salary. Most of the salaries of officials nowadays are paid in kind, and are even called "salary food".
The 50,000 yamen army must pay 1.2 million dendrobium for food and gifts a year. Including the consumption in the camp, the cost is at least 1.7 million dendrobium per year. Puzhou alone is not enough!
"It's really wonderful to seize the grain." Shao Shude said.
At the same time, he thought of another thing. Jin and Jiang are so rich, can some of Shuofang's troops settle here? However, this matter needs to be done with caution. If the sergeants are unhappy, it will be troublesome.
"In addition to food, there is also salt." Feng Yanqing continued.
Zheng Yong, the tenth general of the army, came in again at the critical moment and reported: "Commander, the angel is here, and Wang Yao has gone out of the city to greet him. The Hezhong Military Academy has sealed it outside the door, asking to see the commander-in-chief."
Shao Shude sneered, Wang Yao was really impatient.
His troops entered the city from another gate and took the opportunity to collect many rebel soldiers. Most of the sergeants in the city did not participate in the looting. Most of these people also wanted to surrender to Wang Yao. Is this complacency?
Boy from the Wang family, my uncle has to let you know what it means to lure a wolf into your house.
"Let Feng Zangzhi come in." Shao Shude said.
Feng Zangzhi came quickly. After the ceremony, he saw that there was no one else in the hall, so he knelt down and said, "Feng Zangzhi only obeys the command of the commander-in-chief."
Shao Shude stood up and helped him personally.
These days, it is very difficult to make a warrior kneel down. Kneeling down on one knee is already very respectful, let alone falling down. It shows an absolute surrender.
Feng Zhi was so straightforward that Shao Shude did not want to be mysterious and said directly: "The war in the river is in chaos, and the old generals withered. In the past, Wang Chongrong was the Yuhou of Mabudu in Hezhong. Unfortunately, this post will no longer be established. Now that Xinping is in chaos, it is appropriate to appoint a new person and seal it.
Is the military academy willing to let the horses in the river wait for you?"
Feng Zangzhi felt like he was hit by happiness and felt a little dizzy.
"The subordinate officials are so humble, how can they take on such an important responsibility?"
"In the past, Meng Fang could not stand up as a deputy general. After the military chaos, he appointed Zhaoyi as his successor. You are also a deputy general, so why can't you be a deputy general in Ma Bu?" Shao Shude said: "Even at the worst, you can still be the head of the capital. In this matter,
I'll take care of it, you just need to train your troops well. These warriors in the river are a little too much, can you correct them?"
"You should run the army with all your heart," Feng Zangzhi replied.
In normal times, it would indeed be difficult to rectify. But isn't it a big mess now? The sergeants were worried, but they were honest for a while. Taking this opportunity to rectify the situation and gradually implement it is better than doing nothing.
"Okay!" Shao Shude smiled and said: "There is one more thing, General Hezhong, please tell me one by one."
…
After the chaos, every household in Hezhong Prefecture still closed its doors.
Valley/span> Soldiers and horses from other towns have entered the city. Can we get good fruit? What should we do if they rob women?
The common people have their own philosophy of survival. It seems stable now, but in fact it is most dangerous. Let’s wait and see.
The Zhenwu Army gradually reached Hedong County secretly.
Outside several military camps in the city, soldiers were filing out of the river.
The streets were filled with Tielin Army soldiers holding bows and knives. The atmosphere looked very serious, but the sergeants in Hezhong looked relaxed.
They did not participate in the incident and were persuaded by the officer's earnest words. Now it is time to receive the reward.
The place to receive the reward is outside the city. Each person is given four coins and two bolts of silk.
When I first heard about it, everyone was yelling at me, and it was almost half of what I promised. How could I not make people angry?
Then he sighed again. If he had supported Wang Yao as the military envoy under normal circumstances, ten ten cents per person would not be an extravagant hope. Unfortunately, there was a military rebellion at the end of the matter and he was suppressed. His appearance was not good.
Therefore, it is not bad to have four silk threads and two bolts of silk.
After the sergeants left the city, the deputy generals and generals went to Duyu Housi.
Before leaving, everyone winked and laughed.
With so many vacancies, even if Wang Yao wants to place his own people, there are still many opportunities, right? I don’t know, everyone has to move. The deputy general will be promoted to ten generals, escorts, and Yuhou, and the ten generals will be promoted to soldiers and horses, soldiers and horses.
How wonderful it would be to be the head of the capital, the governor of Yu, and the governor of Yamen!
After arriving at Duyu Housi, there were many Xia soldiers standing outside the door, not looking sideways, which made everyone a little unhappy.
Xia thief, get out of here! The river is not where you should be.
"Everyone!" In the yamen hall, Wang Yao and Shao Shude were sitting at the top of the table together. Shao Shude was on the left, and his status was obviously higher.
Wang Yao glanced at everyone and continued: "Puzhou is located at the crossroads of the two capitals, with the danger of Yangchang's bottom pillar and the limit of Mengmen of Zhuohe River. Since the dynasty, the towns have been facing each other, with a gathering of humanities and salt ponds.
It is profitable, so it has the good name of Xiongzhou. Nowadays, Xinping is in chaos, household registrations are dispersed, and warehouses are empty. Jin soldiers are still attacking Huoyi, and it is truly an autumn of life and death."
Wang Yao said some polite words first, and then finally got to the point, saying: "The last time there was a military turmoil, all the senior generals in the army were wiped out. Now..."
"Wait a minute." Shao Shude suddenly spoke.
Wang Yao was startled and turned around to look, only to see that Shao Shude was actually wearing armor. He stood up and said slowly: "The military rebellion has not yet been resolved. Why is my nephew so anxious to reward me for his merits?"
"Uncle, this is..." Wang Yao felt bad in her heart.
"Ten general Li Shimiao, ten general Zhang Youxian, deputy general Song Kezeng, Hezhong prefectural governor Liu Fuchang, Yuhou Sun Cheng..." Shao Shude named more than twenty mid-level generals in one breath.
And just as he was speaking, hundreds of soldiers poured out from inside and outside the government office, surrounding these people.
The faces of those whose names were called changed drastically, and those who were not called subconsciously stepped aside with a look of fear on their faces.
"Didn't my nephew say that there are still rebels and comrades who have not been picked up, please ask me for help? How can you regret it when things are coming?" Shao Shude's face became serious and said: "Kill them all!"
The arrow left the string, and screams filled the ground.
The soldiers rushed forward ferociously, in groups of three, with long spears, short knives, bows and arrows. Killing these military academies, who only carried side swords and no armor on their bodies, was like chopping melons and vegetables.
"Wang Yao, you must die a happy death!"
"Colluding with outsiders, I am really blind!"
"I knew I would have defended Wang Ke to death!"
Wang Yao sat back on the bed, her face pale.
Is he really unaware of this matter? Does anyone believe him?
He turned his attention to the general who was hiding in a corner of the hall and was not affected. Those people were also looking up at him, their eyes full of confusion, fear and hatred.
Ruined!
Since the difficult times, too many generals have used banquets to reward generals and sergeants for killing them.
In the past, Xu Zhen's army had silver swords, carved flags, gate guns, and horses. They were elite and brave, but they were also domineering and unruly. When the sergeants were slightly dissatisfied, they would shout loudly, and everyone was in harmony. It was common for the superiors to cause chaos.
After Wang Shi was appointed as the military governor of Wuning Army, he pretended not to pursue the case and used his good words to appease everyone, which paralyzed everyone.
Then he ordered Yintao to be assigned to the military academy.
The king sat on a bed in plain clothes and was worshiped by the military academy. After the ceremony, he accused the worshipers of chasing the commander, and ordered the warriors to kill them in front of the tent, leaving no one alive. The second group came to worship, and they followed the same method until all the worshipers were killed.
.
At the same time, he also brought the Zhongwu, Yicheng, and Zhaoyi vassal soldiers who had just put down the Qiu Fu Uprising in eastern Zhejiang to Xuzhou, and ordered them to raid the Yindaodu military camp and kill all the soldiers.
Thousands of people from Dutou Shaoze and below were killed in Yin Daodu.
This thing is so famous!
Wang Yao's body trembled unconsciously.
He tricked the military academy into entering the capital, Yuhousi, and then immediately arrested and killed him, using soldiers from other towns. How is this different from what happened in Xuzhou?
From the outside, don't they think it was Wang Yao's idea, and the Tielin Army was just an accomplice?
It makes perfect sense to kill Jieao Military Academy and install his own people!
