Of course, the Yunmeng thieves who once roamed Jiangxi, Hunan, Jingnan and Xiajiang, defeated several official armies many times, and affected several states; they were destroyed in just a few days, and even the Seventy-two Chain Dock
When the news that it had also been destroyed reached Jiangling Mansion, there was an uproar.
For a time, some people were happy, some were worried, and some could not sleep at night; but more often there were voices of disbelief, or they simply thought that this was just an over-whitewashed and exaggerated victory, just like many previous records of government crusade,
Those who were swept away by Liting had average results.
However, when the corpses of the aquatic beasts that had been specially selected to be displayed as trophies were dragged back to the embankment outside Jiangling City by the requisitioned ships, the whole Jiangling Mansion was filled with voices of doubt and speculation.
, all of a sudden lost their voices.
But the one who became even more excited and active was Zhong Sunji, who was the supervisory censor of the Tao. As if he suddenly found the meaning of his years of service, he cooperated and signed a lot of official documents in one breath;
In the days that followed, people were arrested and summoned for questioning.
Although most of the Yunmeng thieves gathered in Qianjiang County have either turned into deformed aliens or become the blood of their former companions; Pang Xun has eliminated and hunted down the remnants of the Yunmeng thieves who were looting the periphery.
, still obtained a lot of evidence and clues that are constantly involved in the local area.
Therefore, as the place gradually calmed down after the war, it officially entered the stage of settling accounts after the Autumn. From the heads of the six houses in Jiangling Prefecture to the officials of the three divisions and four envoys, almost everyone was implicated; while Rang was temporarily detained
The place was overcrowded, and the imperial censor's office was always bustling with people.
Those local officials who secretly pushed back or held back when Pang Xun led the army were also interrogated and examined by the Yushiyuan; although not all of them could be convicted, by tracing various past dereliction of duties and
Due to the suspicion of incompetence, a lot of positions were left vacant.
But for all this, Jiang Tian just watched with cold eyes. The purpose of being ordered to go south to Jiangling in the face of danger has basically been achieved; the subsequent process of local reconstruction and restoration of order, the resulting power game, and the internal struggle of right and wrong in the officialdom are not what he cares about.
of.
Whether it was Zhong Sunji, the supervisory censor, who took advantage of the incident and slandered his own existence and performance; or it was derived from Pang Xun's selfishness and self-defeating methods of "clear grievances" and "revenge must be retaliated, and no one will stay overnight";
As long as it was not excessive, Jiang Tian would just let it go.
What he cares more about is the details exposed in this battle, or the various experiences and lessons learned from it; he hopes to complete the special corresponding guidance manual that is being compiled so that it can be promoted to more armies and places.
It can also minimize the losses of some soldiers and civilians.
By the way, from the local officers and guest troops participating in the war, some soldiers with extraordinary courage, firm belief, excellent physical fitness or special expertise were selected and included in the waiting list of the fifth battalion of laymen. As permanent residents of one side in turn
emergency mobile units, their daily losses are not small.
Therefore, in addition to the expanded five battalion posts, a number of military orders were also specially designated as subsequent supplementary sources. For example, the original left and right regiments of Xijingli Hangyuan were roughly from the left and right Jinwu Guards and Jinwu Sixth Street Envoys
The origin of "Zuowuwei" and "Youxiaowei" were later added.
Then it was expanded to the rural soldiers of the nineteen military offices in the west of Beijing... As the supervisor of the Xijingli Academy, Jiang Tian, in addition to selecting expert members from the lay troops, or candidates recommended through review
;Similarly, it can also determine a certain number of waiting places for each layman camp;
This is also a disguised return of Pang Xun's favor, as a reward for his full cooperation from beginning to end. In fact, after this battle, he also revealed some secrets in private, hoping to maintain and deepen the cooperative relationship for a long time, and even represent certain people.
The intention of secretly taking refuge under the disciple...
However, Jiang Tian only initially accepted his goodwill, but at the same time, he also needed more time to observe and test. However, the things discovered behind the Yunmeng Thief Rebellion this time are intriguing; such as the large-scale worship in Jiangling Prefecture.
The Beast Cult/Qilin Society, and the Yunmeng Thief who merged with it.
Unlike those beasts in the north that wander around and cause trouble, the beast worshipers who are now active in the south have actually successfully changed their appearance and gone dormant; if not for a series of changes in the world that forced them to take action, they might still have
Hidden deeper in the darkness.
The relevant people involved include local officials, wealthy businessmen and large households... and even the looming princes and vassal families behind the scenes are also involved. This is a bit scary to think about. But I don't know when it started.
, being infiltrated and influenced by demonic forces.
But in any case, with the suppression of the Jiangling Incident/demon chaos, this hub that controls the upper and lower rivers has regained safety and smoothness. For this reason, there are more than a dozen regional business gangs/guild halls in Jiangling City, and more than 50
The proprietors of several trading companies worked together to contribute a large sum of money as a reward.
In addition to the previous seizures in the depths of Yunmeng Daze, in addition to the gold and silver artifacts handed over as trophies, the remaining large amounts of treasures are also legal gains by default. Basically, Jiang Tian is based on the amount of effort and performance.
, plus the specific achievements gained will be distributed uniformly.
In other words, the wealth and resources of the two worlds can be obtained at any time and at any time. Jiang Tian no longer looks down on these incomes. In contrast, the silk and tea that were accumulated in Jiangling Mansion in large quantities and can now be quickly escorted north are what he wants.
The key thing to pay attention to is...
According to some of the internal information and information secretly revealed by Liu Zhan, the Prime Minister before leaving, this seems to involve the long-term peace and stability of the outer vassal princes and the stability of the dynasty and vassal system. For example, the princes in the north of the Great Wall/outside the Great Wall, in the enfeoffment system of the four barbarians and nine borders of the Tang Dynasty, also
It occupies a very important ecological niche.
This is not only because of its value as the heartland of the Tang Dynasty, as a buffer zone and peripheral barrier on the grassland; it also has a corresponding economic model and a supporting tribute system that has been operating for many years.
In other words, after Liang Gong, the predecessor of the time traveler, defeated and disintegrated the grassland power headed by the Uighur Khanate, he also designed a so-called enfeoffment system of princes outside the Great Wall to fill the power gap left by them. That is, along the
As far as the grasslands and rivers are concerned, meritorious men will be entrusted.
Of course, with the relatively backward production methods and fragile ecological system on the grasslands, it is actually difficult to support too many unemployed people or even maintain the Central Plains-style complex feudal bureaucracy. Therefore, as a way to compensate these princes outside the Great Wall and maintain Chineseization
Necessary conditions and keys.
The most preferred method is to incorporate its resource output, which is tailored to local conditions, into the huge tribute/trade system with the Celestial Empire as the core. Facts have proved that the imperial court’s purchase of ores, livestock, furs and woolen products alone cost more than usual.
The military expenditures for border preparations have been greatly saved.
After these princes outside the Great Wall established themselves on the grasslands, in order to maintain their basic dignity and maintain a decent quality of life, they also had to rely on the long-term supply from the Central Plains for all aspects of their daily life needs; and the price they had to pay for being a vassal outside the Great Wall was
Northern hunting.
That is to say, these princes outside the Great Wall will spontaneously gather and organize people and horses every once in a while, and go deep into the tundra zone further north of the grassland; capturing and plundering like cutting grass, the wild nomadic tribes and fishermen and hunters that continue to breed
Savage. Then as one of the tribute payers.
Therefore, for the princes and foreign vassals from all over the world under the current dynasty system, the Tang Dynasty is the central hub that controls and coordinates the needs of all parties in the world; once there is a problem with one of the pipelines or network cables,
It can easily involve and affect a large area.
And once something goes wrong with the center of the Tang Dynasty, except for a few vassals such as Daxia and Nanhai that are strong enough to sustain themselves, it will undoubtedly have catastrophic consequences for the other princes and outer vassals from all over the world. Maybe it will cause the world to collapse.
What happened in Gangneung Mansion was just the beginning?
