Chapter 424 I'm having a hard time, and so are you,
Update time: 2012-08-20
Just when the officials thought Zhao Xun was soft, the counterattack began, and Ling Lie was scary.
The Tiqisi Yamen in Luoyang City was burned overnight, and officials from all over the Tiqisi were killed in eight cities. The two prefectures in the east of Yongzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou and Yanzhou, so the Tiqisi Yamen in the prefectures and counties were killed.
The siege detective was killed in the darkness. Within a few days, the Tiqisi in these places was beaten with a scattered stick.
There are even bounty orders for the rewards and killings in various places. The heads of the Fanti Cavalry can be used to exchange for silver. The governments of various states and prefectures naturally dare not take care of them, and they are too lazy to take care of them. No one has a good impression of the Tiqi Cavalry, so please don't mention it.
Tiqisi, controlled by Situ Lei.
The Tiqisi was originally a yamen used by the imperial court to monitor the world, and was somewhat similar to the Jinyiwei. It has its own yamen in various places, and the sergeants are divided into two types: light and dark. In addition, there are also spys arranged in foreign tribes, but such spys have recently disappeared.
It's right.
"Renior... This kid is too ruthless. As soon as he starts, he will be a thunder blow." Murong Cheng sighed after hearing the news, smashed his mouth and slapped.
If Zhao Xun doesn't move, he will be a bolt from the blue, which will shock Situ Lei for a moment of dizziness. He didn't expect that Zhao Xun would use force directly. But I won't come with you, you will touch my people,
I'll kill your people.
The problem is that everyone knows that this is the result of Zhao Xun's revenge, but there is no actual evidence. Even Luoyang cannot get evidence, let alone the place. Even if they get it, they dare not take it out.
Think about it, Zhao Xun even made the people from Ti Qishi directly, let alone you, a local official. If you chop you up, others are afraid that they will climb to your position.
These local officials are not afraid of people like Situ Lei. Situ Lei has requirements for them, as long as they do it. But people like Zhao Xun can use their knives to you directly, who can afford it?
In the court, Situ Lei's face was gloomy, but was there any way? They could not take Zhao Xun's seat. Besides, Zhao Xun had just entered Luoyang, and his soldiers who had already seen him were naturally in the mansion and military camp, and they were not given to others.
What handle does it bring?
It's funny to say that among the several crossbow arrows that were deliberately left behind at this moment, there were various guards, many of which were from Situ Lei's confidant subordinates.
"Sir Zuo Xiang, I have heard of some major case in the city recently. It seems to be related to you. Let's listen." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
Situ Lei, who had a gloomy face, became even more gloomy after hearing Zhao Xun's words. He looked at Zhao Xun with his eyes tightly and whispered: "Boy, you don't follow the rules!"
"What does it mean? I don't understand what Lord Zuo Xiang means? What do you stare at me like this? This has nothing to do with me. Although I also want to cut you into slices of meat, what happened recently has happened.
It has nothing to do with me. As we all know, this general has been accepting new recruits in the military camp recently, so I also know new things about the outside world, but they have nothing to do with me." Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"By the way, Zuo Prime Minister, I'll just say, you're old and it's time to have a good rest. Don't be damaging to your health." This time, Zhao Xun's voice became louder.
"Left Prime Minister, I think the general is right. You, it's time to rest." The King of Qi also responded with a smile.
"Rest? How can I rest in the current situation? The Xuzhou rebels in the east and the Turks in the north are approaching. I should serve the country, how can I rest lightly? Zhao Xun, your methods have gone through!" Finally, I asked in a low voice.
Zhao Xun said.
"After passing? Zuo Xiang wouldn't think that I did all this, right? I admit that I participated, but it was definitely not my credit." Zhao Xun said lightly. He was about to pour some ink into Situ Lei's heart.
"Isn't you alone? Is there anyone else?" Situ Lei Suomei said.
"Maybe, my people saw the others here." Zhao Xun continued to make up.
The court discussion was boring. To be honest, Zhao Xun didn't want to participate in the court discussion at all. Every matter, major matter was decided by Situ Lei and the others, and it was only taken to the emperor for a small matter or something that could not be evenly divided.
But the former, as the emperor, can only handle some small things, isn't it very strange? When Situ Lei and Murong Cheng couldn't evenly divide things, the emperor wanted to make a decision, but he couldn't make a decision.
Zhao Xun felt a little sympathetic to Emperor Xuanwu sitting high on the main seat. He was an emperor who was neither stupid nor young, but he became a decoration. The decisions he made were all small things. It can be said that the imperial edict was issued.
If you can't leave the palace, you have to decide the final decision between the Zuo Prime Minister and the King of Qi. Fortunately, the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Guards are still in the hands of the emperor, otherwise the situation will be worrying and the encounter will be worse. However, even so, no one knows the Imperial Guards and the Ban
Among the guards, how many people were inserted into them by other forces.
Since the officials of various state governments left, Zhao Xun, who entered the court again, knew that it would be difficult to achieve success in the court, so he planned to pull Qianniuwei up and use force to intimidate them.
.
You play with yours, I play with it. If you cross the line and get angry, I will make you look good. This is what Zhao Xun shows.
At the end of the first lunar month, the caravans in Youzhou also traveled to Yongzhou. At the same time, they also traded with other prefectures and secretly purchased raw materials for black gunpowder.
Speaking of black gunpowder, no matter what others in the court say, Zhao Xun gave the answer was that it was obtained by chance, the number was small, and the transportation was inconvenient, and other reasons were not given a briefing. Seeing Zhao Xun like this, no one else could do so.
But everyone paid more attention to Zhao Xun, and they all knew the reputation of the thunder. But this thing was in the hands of this young man who was ruthless.
Huitong Money House in Jizhou has also gradually begun to expand, and Youzhou coins have begun to circulate with the surrounding states, and even Luoyang has begun to flow into a small number of Youzhou coins.
"General, I heard that there was a beautiful currency circulating in the world. Can the general know the Youzhou coins mentioned by the people?" Situ Lei asked in a deep voice.
"I know, this is what our Xiaoguo Army has built. Why? Zuo Prime Minister wants to exchange some?" Zhao Xun said with a smile.
"Can the general know that private coins were illegal at that time? As an official of the court, the general knew that the law was violated and the crime was higher than the top priority! Your Majesty..."
"Wait..." Zhao Xun interrupted the old official who was over 60 years old and said impatiently: "Who are you?"
"Zuo Mingjiang, Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites! What advice does the general have?" the old man said arrogantly.
Zhao Xun sneered: "I dare not give advice. I am so old that I don't stay at home to enjoy the joy of my children and grandchildren, and still talk nonsense here. It seems that I am so confused."
"Zhao Xun, I respect you as the champion general. Don't be too arrogant. Isn't what I said true? It is illegal to cast coins by yourself and should be severely punished." Zuo Mingjiang pointed at Zhao Xun, trembling and leisurely.
roared.
"Illegal? Now, whether it is the rebellion between Xuzhou and Liangzhou, the court suppresses the rebellion, and whether the food and salary are allocated, but my Xiaoguo army does not ask for a trace of the imperial court. Even though I, Youzhou, have not paid taxes and the imperial court, those are exempted from
Among the people, even if these taxes are collected, who do you think will be more income or consumption for other troops to come to Youzhou?"
"The Marine Army invaded, the four governments fell, and then the three governments were harassed. All the northern governments were poisoned by the Marine Army. Can the taxes in these places meet the needs of suppressing the rebellion?"
"Immediately afterwards, there were turmoil in southern Youzhou, and the army broke out in the south, and wars broke out again. Can these places where wars were encountered receive taxes? Should I collect taxes now? It means that the Minister of Rites. I also want to
See if the Left Minister can be worthy of the people of the world!" These cold and harsh words said.
"I am the general who attacked Zhuhu in the north and recovered the lost territory, and forced himself to subdue the Youbei tribes. Without the support of the court, Youzhou was already in a state of embarrassment. Could it be impossible to mint coins? If the Left Minister insisted on stopping, I would send an order and let him go
They stopped. However, the anger of the 200,000 troops in Youzhou needed to bear the Left Minister."
Zuo Mingjiang's face turned dark and he couldn't speak for a long time. Although Zhao Xun was wrong to mint coins, more and more governments in the world had gone to mint coins. Zhao Xun also made sense, and the Youzhou Xiaoguo Army fought in the south.
The Northern War was indeed useless of the imperial court’s money.
As for what the Zuo Shilang thought, the others didn't care. What these people were concerned about was the 200,000 army in Zhao Xun's hands. More than 100,000 of them were troops of war. Who can stop them in the world? Even Situ Lei had them.
Let go of the idea of fighting with Zhao Xun to death.
Emperor Xuanwu was also shocked. After all, he was the weakest.
"Okay, let's give up this matter. The general worked hard and made great contributions. Youzhou's finances are indeed not enough. Just mint coins. I think the coins minted by the general are not only not short of weight, but are better." Emperor Xuanwu smiled and said.
Said.
"This Zhao Xun is worthy of winning over, but it cannot be reused." This thought flashed through Emperor Xuanwu's mind.
Situ Lei and Murong Cheng secretly cursed their subordinates' intelligence personnel in their hearts. They had no detailed understanding of the actual situation of the Xiaoguo Army.
This cannot be blamed for the incompetence of those spies. It can only be said that the distribution of the Xiaoguo Army is too scattered. In addition, no one can approach the Xiaoguo Army's military camp at will. The county soldiers and some big cities are outside the heavy city.
, the people of the other prefectures and counties were unable to figure out which part of the garrison here.
In addition, the new household registration system and the Defense Department of Xiaoguojun both put a lot of pressure on foreign spies. If one is not good, it will be exposed to Xiaoguojun's eyes.
It’s not that Zhao Xun disrespects the elderly and loves the young, but these older officials are the most troublesome. They don’t do good things, and they don’t do practical things, except using some ancestral systems and laws to criticize you. They don’t understand others at all.
The effect brought by this is that the court does not pay, can I rob it?
After resigning from the court, Zhao Xun left alone, while Situ Lei was thinking about who attacked the Tiqisi. The Tiqisi was the source of information in his hands and a sharp knife. He was given to him in this way.
If you step on it, wouldn’t you slap his left prince in the face?
On the surface, Zhao Xun was the one who fought back, but Situ Lei thought about it and thought it was unlikely that it was Zhao Xun. Because before and after Zhao Xun set off, the people from Tiqisi began to pay attention, and those who came and went from Youzhou,
In addition to merchants, there are only four or five hundred people, which cannot achieve the current sharp effect.
That night, the Tiqisi Yamen suffered a severe blow. In addition to bows and arrows, there were crossbows and sulphurs and tinders. These things were completely military supplies, only available in the army, and ordinary people could not get them.
Because of the importance of Zhao Xun, there were naturally people waiting around Qianniuwei Camp, but on those nights, Qianniuwei did not take a large-scale action. This means that the possibility of Qianniuwei being dispatched is not high.
"Is it Murong Cheng?" Situ Lei rubbed his eyebrows and thought to himself.
"It is also possible, on the surface, that it aroused the conflict between me and Zhao Xun, but he sat firmly on the Diaoyutai behind him. The crossbow arrows and sulphur oil, except me, Zhao Xun and the Imperial Guards, only Murong Cheng has it in his hands.
The Imperial Guards did not move, and Qianniu Guards did not move either! Could it be Murong Cheng! Damn bastard! When he returned home, let the black shadow check it out!" Situ Lei, who was sitting in the sedan chair, cursed secretly.
"Husband, you are back! A businessman just sent an invitation, but it didn't look like an invitation. He said that you would take a look at it yourself!" Li Xinyan smiled and took out the things in her hand.
It looks like an invitation or a memorial, but it is actually a secret letter from Youzhou. After Zhao Xun and Li Xinyan talked for a while, they opened it and read it. The letters were all made of passwords.
After reading it, Zhao Xun was a little surprised. As mentioned above, Li Muzhi, the Protector of the Beihai Protectorate, was defeated, and more than half of the troops of the Marine Eight Banners were lost.
After looking carefully, I realized that there were talents around Chi Shu who used the arrogance of soldiers to destroy half of the Eight Banners of the Marine. Among them were Li Mu's carelessness, and also the arrogance of the Marine Eight Banners of the Marine Eight Banners of the Marine.
However, it is a good thing for Zhao Xun. The Marine Eight Banners soldiers died of the Marine Eight Banners, not their own. In order to protect themselves, the Beihai tribes could only let Li Muzhi continue to recruit new Marine Eight Banners soldiers in the Beihai tribes.
, This is the Eight Banners of the Marines who have separated from the original tribe. Because there are spoils to be obtained after participating in the Eight Banners of the Marines of the Marines, there are many participants.
Zhao Xun read it but did not reply because the letter was his own separate channel and the rest of the people knew it. I think it won’t take long before the information from Youzhou would come.
Sure enough, in less than two days, the information from the Shadow Department, the Hawkeye Department and the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office all came, and the content was similar. The only difference was that the information from the Youzhou Grand Governor's Office had just signed the suggestions.
After reading the suggestions of the Government Affairs Department and the Military Affairs Department, Zhao Xun made an instruction and then sent it out in a secret message. At the same time, he also had his current situation. Of course, he also had to write a letter to his family and let the "caravan" lead him.
Reply some gifts.
"Husband, this is the inner clothes made by Sister Lian'er for you, and this amulet. These are made by Sister Ziyan, Sister Su, and Sister Ruolan. By the way, the most special thing is this, two
The hair of a child!" Li Xinyan said to Zhao Xun with various gifts.
"Stop it, to be honest, I miss them a lot, as well as Henger and Ruier." Zhao Xun said with nostalgia.
