Shao Shude's usual office is in Qingliang Hall. Lu Siye and other confidential personnel also work here, receive state and county officials, and military generals are also here.
Yaohua Hall is where the two core staff members Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng and their teams work. Most of the time, state and county officials go to Yaohua Hall more often and come to Qingliang Hall less often. It sounds a bit like
Chang'an Nanya, the official office where the prime ministers work.
The Anle Hall is where Shao Shude's family lives. He slept in the Anle Hall last night and ravaged Zhao Shu until midnight. Naturally, when eating in the morning, Zhao Yu didn't give him a good look and even refused to say anything.
After being bored, Shao Shude got on the carriage, put his arms around Meizang and Yeli, and went out to Jiang County.
Many family members who returned to the German army came to Jiangxian County.
This army currently has less than 5,000 people. At first, they were mountain people from the Hengshan Party who were recruited to do auxiliary work... Later, due to the shortage of troops, 5,000 strong people were selected from the 20,000 mountain people and handed over to Fu Cunxian.
With hundreds of veterans of the Tianzhu Army as the backbone, after some training, they went up to the mountain to guard the village.
After such a long time, Wei Village has become Hu Guo City, and the five thousand mountain people have been tempered in the flames of war. They have also replenished some selected and strong soldiers to suppress the country, and they have already looked like an army of economic discipline.
In the Heluo area, there are already 5,000 households in Wei County, and 10,000 households in Mianchi. A large area of mountainous land in the north has been allocated to Li Renyu and Tuoba Renfu's subordinates. There really is no extra space for them.
The German officers and soldiers settled in with their families.
Shao Shude thought for a while and arranged for them to go to Jiangxian County, Jiangzhou.
In this way, the four adjacent places of Jinzhou Shenshan (Chishui Army), Jiangzhou Quwo (Guzhen Army), Jiangzhou Yicheng (Wuxing Army), and Jiangzhou Jiangxian (Guide Army) have greatly improved their household registration.
It has been greatly enriched and the local popularity has begun to recover, which makes people very happy to see it.
Of course, Shuofang's population did not decrease much.
There are more than 20,000 soldiers in the Chishui, Wuxing, and Guzhen armies. There are not many married people. Shao Shude first dispatched 5,000 families of rebels from the river to Shengzhou. Recently, he also purged the old forces of the Pu, Jin, and Jiang Wang families.
, more than 2,000 households were distributed again, offsetting the loss of most of the population outflow.
At the same time, the demographic structure of Shengzhou has also been improved.
Originally there were tens of thousands of Liangzhou Liugu Tubo people, as well as a large number of Hebei Dangxiang and Yinshan Hu people. They continued to migrate to Shuzhong for many years, plus more than 7,000 Han people in Hezhong were sent away in one go. Shengzhou has already
It’s not that stupid anymore. I believe that with the gradual and in-depth implementation of education, the atmosphere will change bit by bit.
This is not a day's work, Shao Shude is very patient.
The returned soldiers are still fighting on the front line, and their families are the only ones here in Jiangxian County.
Shao Shude led Yeli Lingji, and Miao'e's men got out of the carriage.
The soldiers' families all knelt down and worshiped on the ground: "Greetings to the Wu soldiers."
"Everyone, get up." Shao Shude raised his hands and said, "You all have come all the way from Hengshan and Huazhou. For your hard work, each family will be rewarded with a piece of silk."
The Pujin Pass is already under control, and the income from the customs is completely at your disposal, so you still have money.
This part of the money, plus the salt profit from the river, barely settled the families of the three armies in Chishui. The money returned to the German army was temporarily begged from Wang Yao.
Next year, Fenglingdu Chaoguan will also be taken away, and the families of Tielin and Wuwei troops will be resettled there. The former will be in Zhengping County, Jiangzhou, and the latter will be in Linfen County, Jinzhou.
The Tiande and Feng'an armies will also end their garrison period in Qingtang and return to Lingzhou. In Shao Shude's plan, they plan to operate according to the pattern of the Chishui armies, and directly drive to Hezhong, Shaanxi and Guo, and then resettle their families there.
The former is based in Taiping County, Jiangzhou, and the latter is based in Wenxi County.
Funds are limited, and it is already good to be able to relocate four military families a year, not to mention the funds needed to set aside for war.
Li Fan, Wang Yao, and Wang Bian, the three vassal towns with strong independence, will definitely increase their share of the tribute.
Especially Wang Bian, this guy is ruthless in Huazhou and has robbed so many houses. How can we let him go without getting some more money?
"The Wu soldiers are benevolent." When the people heard that they were rewarded, they shouted one after another.
Shao Shude walked leisurely, followed by Ye Lishi and Mu Zangshi, chatting and laughing in low voices.
Wherever they went, the people of Dangxiang Mountain fell to the ground and kowtowed vigorously.
Shao Shude looked at it and sighed to himself, the noble tribesmen under slavery were like gods in the eyes of ordinary slaves.
But he was really going to throw up playing with these two concubines.
Shao Shude is wearing a purple princely robe today, with unicorns embroidered on the chest and patch on the back. This is also his favorite robe.
Qilin is an auspicious beast, and together with dragon, wind and turtle, they are called the Four Spirits. The ancients usually regarded wind as the king of white birds, and Qilin as the head of beasts. In ancient books, Qilin is mostly related to the virtues and achievements of emperors.
As a representative of God's will, Qilin will be invisible when the king is unruly, but will appear when there is a virtuous king.
Wu Zetian liked to reward kings and officials with brocade robes of various styles. The patterns on the patches ranged from lions, tigers, eagles, deers to dragons, winds and unicorns.
The Yeli family and the Meizang family are wearing men's clothing, narrow sleeves, and long boots today, looking heroic. Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the trend of women wearing men's clothing is still very strong. During the reign of Emperor Wei Ming, there was a woman named Lou Cheng who wore it for a long time.
She dressed as a man and lived a life pretending to be a man. Because she knew Go, was proficient in articles, traveled around and made friends with officials, she was actually recommended to serve as an official in Yangzhou.
Like to ride horses and travel in men's clothing, this is a big trend among women in the country. The society is too open, that's what it looks like.
"Uncle." A young man not far away waved desperately and shouted loudly.
"It turns out to be Kecheng." Shao Shude walked a few steps quickly.
A young man in military uniform rushed over. The soldiers drew their swords one after another. Shao Shude reached out to stop them.
"Uncle." Ye Li Kecheng hugged Shao Shude and said with a smile, "Aweng is finally willing to take me out."
Shao Shude looked at the grown-up boy with a dazed expression.
When he was still a little kid, he would play with him during festivals and festivals, and he would often go riding and hunting with him. In the past few years, he has grown into a young man like a calf.
Time flies!
"Do you still remember your ambition back then?" Shao Shu took Ye Li Kecheng's hand and asked with a smile.
"Fight for my uncle and marry the princess." Ye Li Kecheng blurted out.
Yeli Lingji burst into laughter and said, "Slave Leopard, if you go into battle, will you be scared to tears?"
Ye Li Kecheng's eyes suddenly widened and he said: "How can aunt look down on people?"
"You play with Chong Ni and Buddha Ya all day long, and my aunt thinks you are a tomboy disguised as a man." Yeli Lingji continued to tease.
Chong Niang is the nickname of Shao Mu, the eldest daughter of Shao Shude. Now that she is older, anyone except family members who dares to call her "Chong Niang" will immediately fall out. The princess has a very bad temper.
Buddha Ya is the biological daughter of Yeli Lingji, whose name is Shao Li and she is eight years old this year.
"When Kecheng grows up, please give him a brocade robe. When can I go to battle to kill the enemy for my uncle?" Shao Shu asked Yeli Kecheng, holding his hand.
There is no doubt that Yeli Kecheng will be the leader of the Yeli tribe in the future. The master of the eastern half of Hengshan Mountain can easily get tens of thousands of people at his fingertips. Such a young man has grown up watching, and is not firmly tied to
How can I do it on my own chariot?
"Your Majesty, if you have a nice leopard-patched robe, please give it to the leopard slave." Yeli Lingji still cared about his nephew and said.
The leopard's fur is turbid and stagnant when it is born. When it grows up, it becomes shiny and majestic, which symbolizes a person's growth. Many military commanders in the country and dynasties used leopards as patches on their robes, so it was indeed very suitable.
"Just reward that one." Shao Shude didn't care.
The second generation of the wife family has gradually grown up.
Zhe Silun's son Zhe Congyi, Zhe Congxue, was slightly younger than Yeli Kecheng, but one of them loved literature and went to study it, and his martial arts was average, while the other had a major change in his childhood and was too thin to be a scholar.
Military general.
The third son, Zhe Congyuan, is only four years old this year and looks relatively healthy, so Zhe Silun has high hopes for him.
It's a pity that without the direct lineage of the Zang family, there aren't many talented people who can make a difference.
However, there were a few good-looking girls who always wanted to be sent to Shao Shude to serve him. Shao Shuade was very embarrassed and didn't want them at first, but after taking a look at the looks and figures of those girls, he pretended to accept them.
The prairie Qianghu are too ignorant of etiquette. Generation after generation, they have stuffed women around the Khan. This is too much.
Almost all of the second and third generations of the Zhao family and the Feng family mainly focus on studying and are engaged in government affairs.
However, they are not incompetent literati. At least they are capable of riding horses and archery. They are not completely unorganized when wielding knives to kill people. They have practiced to some extent.
Martial arts, literature, military strategy, all aspects are involved. The dynasty does not separate civil and military officials. If Shao Shude establishes a new dynasty in the future, he will not strictly distinguish between civil and military officials. Why should the distinction be so clear?
Although it is not easy for a general to become a prime minister, it is a threat to the imperial power, but going too far is not enough. A bunch of civil servants who can only read, plus generals with low educational levels or even illiterate, are not easy to rebel, but they go to the other extreme.
After carefully inspecting the residence of the families of the soldiers who returned to Germany, Shao Shude and the two Hengshan "princesses" left in a car while everyone knelt in worship, and hurried back to Longchi Palace overnight.
One day after Fang left home, a lot of military reports accumulated on his desk. Of course, they were not particularly urgent. After the two "prime ministers" dealt with them, they had been distributed to people for processing, and there was no need to go through Shao Shude's hands.
This is the legendary "power of the prime minister". The scholars of the Ming and Qing Dynasties must have envied the prime ministers of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Their power was too small. The power of the prime minister of the state was still a weakened version of the three provinces and six ministries system. It can be imagined that before
How powerful is the power.
In ancient times, "worship the prime minister", the word "worship" is very vivid and explains everything.
Shao Shude flipped through it casually.
Yang Xingmi has conquered Shuzhou and is besieging Shezhou. After repeated attacks, he has been unsuccessful and has heard that he plans to surrender.
After Qian Liu was granted the title of military governor of Zhenhai, he no longer respected Dong Chang and seemed to think he could be treated as an equal.
Wang Shenchao was overjoyed to be officially appointed as the Fujian Observation Envoy and sent sergeants to escort a large amount of treasures to Chang'an. The Fuzhou War was about to come to an end.
Zhu Quanzhong requested to move Salt and Iron to Bianzhou, but of course the court did not allow it. But this may be a precursor to Zhu Quanzhong's cessation of confession, and his financial resources should still be quite tight. He did light corvee and low taxes, but he gained a good reputation among the people and allowed them to rest and recuperate.
Naturally, money and food were not that abundant, so he needed to find supplements from Wei Boluo Hongxin, Chengde Wangrong, and Eyue Duhong.
Kuixia Jiedushi Li Kan defeated Lei Man several times and surrounded Langzhou.
During the military chaos in Hunan, Zhou Yue killed Min Xu. After the remnants of Sun Ru's army broke into Jiangxi, they were invincible and some of them tended to jump towards Hunan.
Zhu Xuan's massive grain expropriation in Qizhou caused wars all over the country. The Tianping army suppressed it severely, killing many people and abducting women into the army. Wang Shifan was furious, but he only made rhetoric and did not send troops.
Shao Shude only paid a little attention to these matters in other towns and passed them by.
The next one is about the battle situation in Shenzhou.
Zhao Kuanglin recruited and surrendered the rebels in Shenzhou, and got more than 6,000 troops. Fangman and others arrived with 3,000 troops, and joined forces with 10,000 people. They had been training for more than ten days, and they had roughly formed a plan, and they were planning to go north to cross the Huaihe River.
, raided Caizhou.
Wang Yu led his army north to Lushan County and built a temple outside the city, which shocked people far and wide. Lushan County had few soldiers and opened the city to ask for surrender. Wang Yu then stationed troops here and took a peek at Sanya Town.
怆愯瘽璇达纴鐩铓嶆湕畇簲扉涔︽涶濂界敤镄刟pp锛屽挭鍜阒呰hurt
Zhe Zongben's army besieged Ye County for several days but could not defeat it. Ge Congzhou sent Xie Yanzhang to lead his cavalry to loot its grain roads, but Zhe Conggu blocked it.
The two armies are in a stalemate. But the greater the stalemate, the more disadvantageous it seems to be for one's own side.
Shao Shude forcibly suppressed his inner impulse. He read it twice silently and skipped it.
"Commander." Chen Cheng, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, suddenly came in and said: "I just received the news that Li Keyong led his army to conquer Tan Ji and won a great victory. However, Wang Chucun's siege of Zhuozhou did not go well and was attacked by Yan soldiers from the north.
, defeated and returned to Yi Ding, Li Keyong quickly returned to Youzhou. There are rumors that the Youzhou army is contacting the Khitan people and plans to jointly deal with Li Keyong."
"The sworn brother can't stop now." Shao Shude thought for a while and said: "If Gao Siji is appointed as the commander-in-chief from the beginning, Youzhou will be stabilized immediately, and maybe Youzhou can be kept submissive for a few years.
, deliver goods to Jinyang every year. Now it is not that simple to do it again. It will only arouse the contempt of the Yan people, thinking that their resistance has had an effect. I am afraid that a piece of silk or a piece of money will not be enough.
I won’t give it to Li Keyong.”
The implicit meaning of this sentence is that if the Hedong Army goes south to attack Wei Bo, there will be no chance of it in a short time.
"In everything, you still have to rely on yourself." Shao Shude ordered his soldiers to get the map. After looking at it carefully, he said: "As soon as the matter of borrowing the road is confirmed, let the Feilong Army be dispatched."
Taking the Taihang Highway from Zezhou to the south to Heyang was Shao Shude's strategy, but the supply problem needed to be solved first.
Zhaoyi Town originally had five states, and the grain-producing areas were in three states in Shandong, namely Xingmingci, but the Yamen Army was in Luzhou. The distance was actually very close, but across the mountains, the loss of grain transportation was too great, so it was not worth transporting.
The envoy often took the Yamen army to Xingzhou to get food.
If the Feilong Army takes the road through Zezhou, it will also face the problem of crossing the Wuling Road. The long-distance transportation of grain and grass will cost a staggering amount of money. Is it worth it?
At present, Yue Wangwushan is transporting grain to support Yuan County, which has already caused complaints among the people of Jin, Jiang, and Pu. If we continue to transport grain across Wuling Road, we will still have a Feilong Army with more than 10,000 horses, which is equivalent to transporting more than 40,000 infantry.
Food, or mountain passes, the cost can go up to the sky.
Of course it’s not that it’s impossible, it’s a matter of whether it’s worth the price.
"That's all, tell Qi Binzhang and let him choose three thousand elite soldiers, one man and two horses, to reduce the logistical pressure." Shao Shude finally felt that the cost was too high and was not worth it, so he decided to reduce the number of troops deployed.
"Don't get into more entanglements with the Bian army. Avoid direct combat and focus on harassment. If the Bian army wants to block their troops, just increase their troops and see how many troops Zhu Quanzhong has available."
"Contact Li Hanzhi again and ask him if he is willing to go south." Shao Shude finally said.
Li Hanzhi had more than 10,000 soldiers. They were all beast soldiers. They raped, looted, and cannibalized people. However, they were very good at fighting. They were always Li Keyong's vanguard and repeatedly defeated powerful enemies. At that time, Fu Cunjian and Wang Jianji took him to Tianzhu.
Shao Shude, the 400 soldiers in the army, would certainly not be stupid enough to ask Fu Cunshen, Wang Jianji, Li Tangbin, Li Duo, He Wei and others whether they had eaten human flesh, and they would not tell them.
"Gao Renhou's frontal attack on Qiziling has been repeatedly frustrated. The reason is that Heyang can send reinforcements out of Zhiguan, so this time he will give them a hard blow." Shao Shude said to Chen Cheng: "In two days, you follow me to Xiayuan County.
