It is rumored that the "late" Hejian King Zhang Xiaowu had six generals, seven armies, eight Mo and nine sons. The six generals were Xiao Kai, Hu Li, Cao Li, Jin Sheng, Li Yuan and Xia Ming. The seven armies were Li Chuncheng.
, Zhang Tongming, Ni Erchun, Xun Bu, Hu Sanwan, Zhao Suo
, Jia Siye, Ba Mo is Wu Song, Guan Xiang, Ruan Qingwen, Wen Ruyu, Meng Shi, Zou Zheng, Murong Hong, Ma Huayun, Guo Xiang, Jiuzi is Wang Jing, Yi Sheng, Zhao Fu, Sikong
Ming, Yi Guang (Kuang Yi), Lei Wenqian, Xingminglou, Gongjian, Qiyuanshan.
These thirty people were all members of Zhang Xiaowu's team when he was the commander of the Qinglong Army and established the Northern Army. However, because Zhang Xiaowu accidentally fell into the sea and had no descendants, the Northern Army was disbanded after only four years of establishment. Hu Li, Xiao
Kai, Jinsheng, Li Yuan, Cao Li and other five people accepted the imperial title and surrendered to the imperial court, and handed over nearly half of their military power to Gu Yong, except for Youzhou, the base camp of the Northern Army. The defender of Youzhou at that time
It’s Xia Ming,
Youzhou has nearly half of the Northern Army. Xia Ming refused to be granted the title of Marquis. At the suggestion of Wu Song and others, the Northern Army remaining in Youzhou was divided into six divisions, namely the Youzhou Township Army and the garrison.
The Dragon Guards at Longmen Pass, the Ghost Guards stationed in Youzhou City who were withdrawn from Mucheng, the Coast Defense Battalion stationed in Lucheng, the Post Camp responsible for maintaining public security and transportation in various places, and the Divine Capture Battalion that has always been in charge of Li Chuncheng
.
The Sixth Army of Youzhou has 50,000 sergeants and 100,000 reserves due to the placement of retired sergeants and army reclamation of wasteland. In addition, Zhang Xiaowu attracted a large number of young people to Youzhou, resulting in a large population of young people in Youzhou. If the consequences are not considered, Youzhou will have a large number of young people.
The state can be expanded to 500,000 in a short period of time. At this point, let alone the foreigners who dare not go south easily, even the imperial court does not dare to point fingers at Youzhou.
Xia Ming inherited half of Zhang Xiaowu's talents. Wen had Wusong, Meng Shi, Murong Hong, Ma Huayun, Zou Zheng, Guo Xiang and others, and Wu had Ni Erchun, Li Chuncheng, Zhang Tongming, Xunbu, Hu Sanwan,
Zhao Suo and others, and all the "Nine Sons" stayed in Youzhou for reuse. If Xia Ming wanted to raise troops to cause chaos, the court would also have a headache. But Xia Ming's shortcomings are also advantages, he is loyal
When Zhang Xiaowu stayed in Youzhou, he had no ambitions and did not want to get involved in court affairs. He only focused on developing Youzhou. He kept Zhang Xiaowu's policy policies intact in Youzhou, especially the civil service system. This move changed the politics of Youzhou.
It was clear and bright. Instead of attacking and squeezing the Youzhou Army, Gu Xiangfei supported Xia Ming very much because he needed Xia Ming's support.
Nowadays, as the emperor gradually comes of age, as the power of Chen Wu King Li Cunyi and his family grows stronger, the old royal family and the noble clan gradually recover and become unstable.
The biggest turmoil in Longdu is that the 16-year-old Yongding Emperor Xuanyuan Chenghua gave birth to a son last year. The woman who gave birth to his son was Shang Wan'er, the adopted sister of the "late" King Hejian. Emperor Yongding commemorated his
Zhang Xiaowu, the younger brother and elder brother-in-law, for his own
The first son was named Xuanyuan Nianwu, which immediately won the support of the old tribe of the King of Hejian. This year Emperor Yongding is seventeen years old, and next year the Emperor will be eighteen years old and will take charge of the throne. At that time, will the struggle for power allow Long
Is the capital once again bloody?
The Youzhou Army has become the target of various forces to win over.
Zhang Xiaowu and the others were traveling on an offshore sea-going ship produced by Lucheng Shipyard. This sea-going ship has two sets of power systems, namely a sixteen-mast sail and a huge water wheel. Zhang Xiaowu originally thought that the water wheel was a steam engine. After passing
After hearing the news, it turned out that the gears were turned by human power, and the person pushing the gears turned out to be strong Rakshasa or Wuhuan slaves.
The majesty of the sea steamer is breathtaking, especially since this ship can transport more than 200 people at a time. The three of them also stayed in a luxurious room and arrived at the port of Lucheng.
"Give me a moment, give me a moment." A black man with a dark body and a strong figure ran over carrying a wicker chair. The three of them quickly ducked aside. Brother Ying was so frightened that he said, "Master, he is burnt."
?”
"This is the Kunlun slave." A pedestrian on the side saw Ying Geer's unfamiliar look and couldn't help laughing: "In the past, these black people were driven from the Kunlun Mountains to the Central Plains and sold as slaves. There were not many of them.
They were all regarded as rare things, but now there is the sea
Fortunately, every month, about a hundred Kunlun slaves are sent to Lucheng for sale. There are all kinds of people in Lucheng, not to mention Kunlun slaves, including Rakshasa people, Wuhuan people, Tarta people and other races.
Yes. Are you from the south? Have you never seen such a formation?"
Brother Ying sighed: "I've never seen it before. We came from Qingjiang Prefecture to visit relatives. I've never seen anything like this before. It's so rare."
The man laughed and said enthusiastically: "You are coming from other places. You need to go to the station next to the port to get an identity card. If the government checks people in the future, those without identity cards will be severely fined."
"Identity tag?" Brother Ying was surprised, "Is it Tongwen? We have Tongwen."
The man shook his head and said: "Youzhou does not recognize the use of Tongwen in other places. You can go anywhere with an ID card, but if you have a Tongwen, you will save a deposit, so go ahead and get it."
The three of them arrived at the inn. This was not a place for the government to stop and rest, but an institution similar to a customs, with a room dedicated to applying for identity cards. The three of them also discovered that there was actually a female official who helped women apply for identity cards. Gu Qingxi
He followed the female officer to another room, while they stayed where they were.
A postman in front of them asked for their information, a postman was in charge of registration, a postman was in charge of portraits, a foreigner looked like a minor official was supervising them, and there was a guard at the door to maintain order.
Soon, they registered their identity badges, but they had to pay three taels of silver. Brother Ying felt very sad and said: "Youzhou government will still make money. If there are five million people in Youzhou, then five hundred
It's ten thousand taels of silver, and this token is actually made of iron."
The postman who asked the question smiled and said: "Locals in Youzhou make tokens for free, only outsiders have to pay."
Ying Geer asked again: "Actually, one tael of silver is quite a lot, what if we can't get it out?"
The postman said: "If you can't get it out, you can still owe it and pay the debt with work."
“What can we do?”
"Go to the mines and dig for flint."
"What is flint?"
"Flint is a stone that burns." The postman said, "We use a lot of it in the summer, but we must use flint in the winter. Otherwise, how will the hundreds of thousands of people in Lucheng survive the winter and have enough firewood for everyone to burn.
"
Zhang Xiaowu naturally knew that flint was a coal mine, but he did not expect that Lucheng had already begun to use coal. The wind he blew in Saibei more than ten years ago was now blowing all over Youzhou.
Ying Geer said: "If you have the chance, you must see what this flint is."
The postman then handed them a receipt and asked them to collect their identity cards with the receipt in three days, but not to wander around or leave Lucheng within these three days. Zhang Xiaowu put the receipt in Gu Qingxi's hand for safekeeping.
Suddenly asked: "Zhang Shouzheng, are you looking for something to do?"
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I still have some money in my hand, let's take a look."
The postman asked again: "Where do you live? I have something to do with you after work."
Zhang Xiaowu looked at him carefully and said seriously: "I won't do anything like murder and arson."
The postman shook his head and said, "You misunderstood. It was another request, to save someone."
