After the meeting, the news of Zhao Xun's return to Youzhou was officially announced through the government. The people were naturally excited. As long as Zhao Xun was fine, they could continue to enjoy this peaceful and peaceful life.
But he was very nervous about the officials. He killed more than 500 people in one day in the Grand Governor's Office, and all the military formations were included. Then he posted a list of the crime he committed, and confiscated his property and sent his whole family to Dongsan.
But all officials knew that the published charge was not the real reason for their death penalty.
Subsequently, the prefectures and counties began another cleaning, but the targets of this cleaning were not landlords, merchants, prominent families, but some people of unknown origin and some local officials.
What are the most afraid of hearing from officials of various prefectures and counties and military officers of various prefectures? That is, someone suddenly appears in front of you and tells you, Shadow Department asks you to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Once you enter Shadow Department, it is difficult to be full of your body
Retreat. Of course, many of them really assisted in investigating the case, but it still made officials from all over the country frightened.
Zhao Xun naturally didn't care about the reaction of the outside world. He first met with the three Khitan tribes' aid envoys and said bluntly that anyone who surrendered to the Xiaoguo army would naturally be protected by the Xiaoguo army. Zhao Xun followed up with the reinforcements and said that
After a while, we also discussed the issue of logistics supply. Basically, the Shuangfa reached some terms. In short, the three Khitan troops were tied to the chariot of the Xiaoguo Army. Of course, the premise is that this time it can help the three Nans.
Completely annexed.
Immediately, the supportive army was drawn from the various armies and joined the Shunzhou Prefecture. The reason why the cavalry and cavalry of the prefecture were sent to participate was to improve their cavalry capabilities.
In just five days, a large number of officials were removed from office in Youzhou, northern Jilin and other places, and more people were secretly cleaned up. They were all detailed works by Situ Lei, Murong Cheng and other forces. During these five days,
Except for serving in government offices, officials from various prefectures and counties are not allowed to go to other places. They must cooperate with the investigation of the Shadow Department and the Security Department at any time. In other words, they have been banned. For these people, Zhao Xun's military order is,
No one left. It was not until Zhao Xun lifted the ban that these officials felt a little relieved.
It took a whole month to completely clean up the area of Xiaoguo Army, and no less than 10,000 people died in this incident. Most of them were outsiders and some local officials appointed by the former court, and a small number of them were
It was the military and political officials who were tempted by these foreign spies. What made Zhao Xun breathe a sigh of relief was that no high-level officials were trapped in.
However, Zhao Xun's return also proved a problem. Zhao Xun was indeed attacked in Hanoi Prefecture, and more than 500 personal guards were killed. All the people in Youzhou were angry, and military and political officials all said bluntly that they would enter Luoyang.
Revenge the dead brothers.
At the same time, news came out in Luoyang at some point that the assassination was done by the left prime minister Situ Lei. Soon, news came out that the assassination was done by Murong Cheng, and some evidence was revealed from time to time.
Just at this moment, there were signs of a large army mobilization in Youzhou, which made people in Luoyang uneasy. Especially in the Hanoi Prefecture, Xingyang Prefecture and other places, they were even more disturbed. Situ Lei asked himself
The Shenwu Army under his command, Changwu Army, retreated directly to Henan Prefecture. This also indirectly stated that the mastermind of the assassination was Situ Lei.
Just when the officials in the world thought that Zhao Xun was going to lead his army to retaliate, new news came from Youzhou. It was true that the army was mobilized, but it did not kill Luoyang, but went north to the grassland and attacked the Khitan tribes.
This made the people and officials of the eastern prefectures of Yongzhou feel relieved, but it made Situ Lei's reputation fall back and forth several times. People are incorporating the country, but you are secretly assassinating and traiting the country! When Situ Lei came to court, he was all
I found some people's disdainful expressions. Even the servants in the mansion would be despised by others when they left the mansion.
Situ Lei knew that he had been deceived, but he was powerless. Why did Situ Lei easily fall for it? There are three reasons. First, Youzhou was in the Great Purge, and the forces of Tiqisi and Ye Xiao were killed. Second, they were killed.
Situ Lei was busy fighting with Murong Cheng, and did not think deeply about Zhao Xun's movements. The most important thing is that the anger of the officials in Youzhou and the movement of the army were premeditated. Especially the movement of the army was originally intended to mobilize cavalry and cooperate with the expedition.
But Zhao Xun still deliberately let the troops move, and it looked like a large army was preparing to kill Yongzhou.
Among them, the four northern prefectures are under the jurisdiction of the general Cao Gang of Zhenbei, which is the area that defends the north. The other eight prefectures are under the jurisdiction of the government, and civil servants govern the local governments, military officers and command local government troops.
Situ Jian entered Bingzhou with a lot of dissatisfaction and grief, and then served as the deputy governor of Bingzhou. The original Bingzhou governor Hao Meng naturally became a signboard or decoration.
Hao Meng was very unwilling to give up, but who made the other party have a strong backstage? In addition, the Turks, the overlord of the northern grassland, were eyeing him, so he had to hand over the power to Situ Jian. To be honest, it would be better to let him be used as a signboard like this.
Situ Lei found an excuse to dismiss himself. Hao Meng even felt that he seemed to be laughing at him when he saw anyone, and the other party was laughing at him.
After Situ Jian became the deputy governor, he immediately began to reorganize the Bingzhou army and reorganize it, and had the potential to form a new garrison army. However, no one in the court opposed it, and even Zhao Xun did not.
He expressed his objection. Because the reason why Situ Lei said was to defend against the Khitan. Whether it was true or false, the Bingzhou army was also the front line of defense against the Khitan invasion.
Zhao Xun's third child was finally born, and he was a daughter. Although Su Ziyan felt a little dull because she was not a son, she soon entered the role of a mother. Zhao Xun did not have the kind of dislike of her daughter.
.It is also very good to have two sons and a daughter. After handling political affairs every day, he only accompanied him for a few children. Zhao Xun often became an old mother, which made Su Ziyan feel much more relieved.
"Hiss..." After accidentally being pulled by the little girl's movie, Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Don't be like your mother when you grow up, don't like red clothes and armed!"
"Sister Ziyan, my husband likes children very much! Now he is not like the majestic general of the general." Xu Qinlian, who was embroidering something, said with a smile. Although he is the wife of the general, he still likes it.
Make some clothes for Zhao Xun by himself.
"Yes, I haven't gotten into the relationship with the child all day long." Looking at Zhao Xun who was holding his little daughter and muttering something, Su Ziyan also had a smile on her face.
In Luoyang, Situ Lei still couldn't fight with Murong Cheng. It seemed that because of Zhao Xun's departure, the two resumed the initial battle. Because of the infamy of assassinating Zhao Xun on their backs, Situ Lei also involved the Taihang bandits army into Zhao.
Xun's body, the thunder of the sky is the unique weapon of the Xiaoguo Army. How could the bandits in the mountain possess it?
Because of the assassination, Qianniu Guard also leaned against Murong Cheng, and the two families joined forces to target Situ Lei. The Taihang Mountain Army still attacked Situ Lei's forces, but they no longer killed the Shenwu Army and Changwu Army, but
Faced with the caravan under Situ Lei's name, the food and grass. People did not kill them, but the supplies were left behind. Situ Lei also used various means to counterattack, trapped in, bribed them, and emerged one after another. But in short, the Taihang Mountain Army still occupied a favorable situation.
.The inside is surrounded by Xiaoguo Army, and there are Qianniu Guards who convey messages outside. If you can win, you will fight, and if you can't win, you will run away, which makes Situ Lei helpless for a moment.
Zhao Xun still sent people to infiltrate the southern prefectures of Youzhou, and Zhao Xun put it last for Youzhou Governor Feng Meng. By then, it would be best if it was properly solved. If not, it would be irrelevant.
As always, Zhao Xun also received good news, cement was finally made. After many experiments and improvements, construction necessities and cement finally appeared. After Zhao Xun's careful inspection, he found that
These cements are much worse than I remember, but for now, they are enough. Therefore, some roads and cities have also begun to be officially used in cement.
When the cement came out, Zhao Xun remembered another thing, matching gunpowder, a major change in weapons, muskets, artillery!
After more than half a year, Zhao Xun came to the craftsman camp again. When he came this time, Zhao Xun had already discovered that there were many more craftsmen in the small town, including men, women, young and old.
Zhao Xun directly gathered the powerful blacksmiths together, pointed to the iron sheet that was about to be made into a horizontal knife and said, "My request is to use your handicrafts and techniques to create a practical one in the shortest possible time."
The round steel pipe is coming. If the time can be shortened, it will naturally be better!”
"This barrel must be very strong, tough, and able to withstand great pressure. As for the specific requirements, I will slowly raise them in the next time. I will often come here in the next time.
Come and provide some suggestions to everyone and answer some questions from everyone.”
Afterwards, Zhao Xun said all kinds of requirements one by one, because there was no actual data, so he could only make this thing while exploring.
Seeing the puzzled expressions of the craftsmen, Zhao Xun said slowly: "Don't worry, you can ask some people to study this specifically, and it's okay to make it any time. If it is made, everyone will be rewarded or even be awarded an official position!
”
Suddenly, these craftsmen were happy and looked up to their faces. Who doesn’t like being an official?
Zhao Xun has no idea about guns and cannons, so he can only give them some basic suggestions and let them explore. If they succeed, it will naturally be the best. If they fail, it will not bring any bad consequences. As long as you are yourself
The seeds are left and will sooner or later grow into big trees.
After leaving the craftsman's camp, Zhao Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Perhaps the artillery era will start from him. In the following season, Zhao Xun inspected various prefectures and counties and investigated the situation of various prefectures and counties.
The Sumo and the Liaodong Kingdom finally started war. Under the teasing and coercion of the Xiaoguo Army, the two sides officially exchanged fire.
Zhao Xun met the envoy of Sumo and Mohi tribe in the Grand Governor's Office, who was an old acquaintance and the left head of Sumo and Mohi tribe.
"I heard that several princes in your department were assassinated?" Zhao Xun asked with a smile.
The Zuoduoka smiled bitterly and said, "Why should the Grand Governor ask me knowingly!"
Speaking of these princes, it was a complete disaster. Of course, in order to force the army of Sumo-Muhe tribe to retreat, Zhao Xun told them that there were also people in Sumo-Muhe tribe willing to cooperate. All of a sudden, the leader of Sumo-Muhe tribe treated him.
Several sons and some generals became suspicious. During this battle with Liaodong, some of these princes also saw an unfavorable side and strongly opposed it. It would be fine if it was just the prince's objection, but there were still many generals and handshakes.
The opposition of the general with real power suddenly made Qi Yuanyi, who had a thorn in his heart, ruthlessly. Speaking of which, this was Zhao Xun's push.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. What are your requirements for meeting me this time?"
"I want to buy some weapons and equipment from the Grand Governor!"
"Can't Liaozhou Prefecture satisfy you?"
"We need the equipment of heavy armored cavalry, the standard bows and arrows of the Xiaoguo Army, and the plate armor of ordinary soldiers." Seeing Zhao Xun frowning, Zuohu Naka swallowed the request of the thunder.
"This..." Zhao Xun couldn't agree to the other party's request. As long as he didn't sell much, he would not have any impact on himself. Su Mo's troops were at a disadvantage now, and he could only give him a tilt on his weapons.
Only by continuing to fight with Liaodong Kingdom.
The head of Zuodu hurriedly said: "In addition to the transaction price that should be given, we are fighting with the Liaodong Kingdom and the territory we occupy will be divided equally with the Grand Governor."
"It's good to divide it equally? It's a pity that the place where you fight with Liaodong Kingdom is not bounded with us. How can we control these places?" Zhao Xun's heart moved and he smiled.
"We will draw out the territory in our troops and Liaozhou Prefecture with equal area and transfer it to the Grand Commander."
Zhao Xun smiled secretly. The Sumo Mohe tribe was quite cunning. The population at the border with Liaozhou Prefecture was stolen by the Xiaoguo Army, but it was not stolen. Some Sumo Mohe people also moved into Liaozhou Prefecture.
Then, will the Xiaoguo Army be under the rule of the Sumo Marine tribe live well? However, this is still very beneficial to the Xiaoguo Army.
"I agreed to your conditions, but it won't be too many at once. Only after I see your results will I continue to trade. Okay, I will leave this matter to the military envoy who is now in Liaozhou City.
, you can just negotiate with him.”
Fight! Fight! It's best to fight to the death of both clans! Zhao Xun muttered secretly.
