Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 129 The New Official Arrives
But Deng Tong, the magistrate of Jeju, lost his composure and fell on the spot when he saw the envoy from Yuncheng report that Liang Shanbo had killed the officer and the army, and that Shixiong, the new military supervisor, was shot by an arrow.Afterwards, he could only cry bitterly, knowing that no one would ever expose his crime.That Liang Shanbo is in Jeju, as the magistrate, how can he be blameless for such a big thief under his rule?

When I returned to the back hall, I ordered someone to come to Taiwei's mansion and said: "Our mansion first lost Huang An and Jiang Lei, and lost a lot of people. Of the 3000 people who went there, none of them came back. So far, there are still many people. There were complaints. Later, Taiwei Lai supported him, dispatched troops and sent generals, and the subordinate officials also urged local counties to organize and train volunteer soldiers. This was captured by the Dangdujian with 6000 troops, but they were all lost. The Dangdujian died. , Only Yang Zhi returned with a horse, and the bandits killed countless officials, soldiers and civilians, a disaster, a great disaster."

"After this big defeat, the people of Jeju Prefecture are already poor. If there are three more conquests, no one will dare to respond. Just like Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Goguryeo, no one is willing to die to serve." Without the local volunteers, if you want to conquer Liangshan, you can only rely on the regular army. The lack of 5000 troops is frightening.And the small Jeju prefecture, why did it send [-] troops?Why did such a large army go to conquer the small Liangshan Park?The lid couldn't be closed.

Deng Tong had a ghost in his belly, and he was dumbfounded about what to do, so he could only call someone to report to Tokyo.

One day Deng Tong was sitting quietly in his study, when Chengju came to report: "There is a new official coming at the official receiving booth at the east gate, so fly to report here." On the pavilion, seeing the dust rising, the new official has dismounted in front of the pavilion.Deng Tong picked up the pavilion and met each other.The new official took out the replacement documents of the Ministry of Education and Deng Tong.The latter looked at it, and then went to the state government office with the new official to deliver the card seal, the money and food in the government treasury, etc.Now arrange a banquet for the new officials.During the dinner, they talked about Liangshan, and Deng Tong realized that the visitor didn't know much about Liangshanbo, so he was secretly weird, but he also mentioned that Liangshanbo had a lot of thieves and killed officials and soldiers.Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, the new official's expression was as usual, and even a hint of excitement could be seen between his brows.Thinking in his heart: "This uncle Ye is so bold. If I were to change, I would be scared out of my guts."

But he didn't know that Zhang Shuye liked to talk about military affairs when he was young.When he grew up, he became an official with Zuyin and served as the official secretary of Lanzhou and joined the army.At this time, Lanzhou was located on the northwest border of the Song Dynasty, relying on the natural moat of the Yellow River for security. However, when the Yellow River froze every winter, it was on alert to prevent Qiang invasion.Zhang Shuye thought that continuing like this was not the solution, so he crossed the river to investigate in person and found a place called Tiandu, which was a strategic point between the five roads. Every time the Qiang invaded, they would gather here first.According to the nearby terrain, Zhang Shuye won Dadu, and built a garrisonable city called Xi'an Prefecture in Dadu, so as to guard the northwest border.This move effectively curbed the intrusion of the Qiang people, and relieved the pain of the soldiers who were trapped near the river and could not be disarmed for months, so that Lanzhou has no more Qiang troubles.

Zhang Shuye also went to the Liao Kingdom to compare archery with the Liao people, and hit the target first.After returning from his envoy, Zhang Shuye drew the mountains, rivers, city walls, servers, instruments and other materials of the Liao Kingdom and presented them to Zhao Ji.

During the Daguan period of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he was a member of the Treasury Department, Wai Lang, and a Shaoyin of Kaifeng Prefecture.Soon after, he was granted a Jinshi background and moved to Yousi Yuanwailang.In the third year of Daguan (1109), Zhang Shuye participated in the impeachment of Cai Jing from his younger brother Zhang Kegong, which forced Cai Jing to step down. Cai Jing therefore became enemies with the Zhang family and vented his anger on Zhang Shuye.After his resurrection, he secretly collected Zhang Shuye's faults and demoted Zhang Shuye to the position of Supervisor of Xi'an Caochang.

Two years ago, he was recalled to the capital as a secretary and junior supervisor, and later promoted to Zhongshu Sheren and Gishizhong.Once again became a thorn in Cai Jing's eye.

Now being kicked to Jeju to be the magistrate is the product of the communication between Cai Jing and Gao Qiu.

The news of Dang Shixiong's death spread to the Taiwei Mansion, and Gao Qiusheng threw away one of his favorite pen washers.It is said to be a relic of Su Dongpo.Gao Li's fortune was caused by Su Shi, and Su Shi still took good care of his descendants after he died of illness.So this Dongpo brush washer is also one of his favorite things.

Of course, it is unknown to outsiders whether this is an illusion deliberately made by Gao Lian to show his nostalgia and gratitude.

Anyway, Taiwei Gao was so angry that his stomach hurt.

His first reaction was to mobilize an army to attack Liangshanbo in a serious manner.The death of the Dang Brothers was like two severe slaps on his face. This matter was not only Gao Kan's personal enmity, but also related to his Gao Qiu's face.

But his restless impulse was stopped by Cai Jing.

The treacherous and cunning Cai Jing believes that there needs to be a transition period before he publicly mobilizes a large army to conquer Liangshan.You can find a disobedient character and send it to Jeju Mansion. When he "does everything he can" but can't wipe out the Liangshan bandits, he only needs to write a letter together, and Gao Qiu can get his wish.

The Liangshan Park hijacks the canal and the Jishui River, and its location is so important that the emperor would be shocked when he saw it.

The conquest of Liangshan was a decision Cai Jing agreed with because he wanted to unite Gao Qiu.Tong Guan's performance in the northwest is getting better and better, and Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and others in the inner court have more and more say.It is Cai Jing who needs to rely on Liang Shicheng for many things.

This eunuch is good at flattering and hoping for favor.The emperor only regarded him as a low-level servant, but he was promoted to a close minister because of this. All the emperor's edicts came from him. He selected those small officials who were good at calligraphy to practice imitating Huizong's handwriting, and mixed them in the edicts. Officials can't and dare not tell the truth from the fake.

It has only been a few years since he entered politics and peace, and it cannot be underestimated.

But who is Cai Jing?Although he has good friends with Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian, but he is unwilling to be willing to join his heirs.Now that Liang Shicheng and Yang Jian are inside and Tong Guan is outside, holding the military power, he is naturally willing to win over Gao Qi more.

Cai Jingke has always attached great importance to military power.At the beginning, he only started to recover in the south of the Yangtze River. As soon as he settled down in Tokyo, he established Chan, Zheng, Cao, and Gongzhou as four assistants, each with [-] troops, and used his in-laws and cronies Song Qiaonian and Hu Shiwen as county guards.The imperial guards in the capital gave [-] yuan a month for night patrols, and Cai Jing immediately increased it by ten times to buy people's hearts.

Today's Cai Taishi is less than seventy years old, and his mind is still healthy. It is Jiang Gui's old and spicy, but not during the Xuanhe period (1119-1125).

As a result, Zhang Shuye was kicked out of Tokyo again by Cai Jing, but compared to the previous Xi'an Grassland Superintendent, the official position of the prefect of Jeju can be regarded as a high-ranking official.

Deng Tong left.He knew in his heart that he would suffer a crime, so he had already disposed of his belongings, and his family also ordered them.After handing over to Zhang Shuye, he packed his clothes and luggage the next day, and went to Tokyo to hear the crime.

The newly appointed Zhang Shuye only had a bitter look on his face after getting a detailed understanding of the situation in Jeju Mansion in the following days.

No wonder Cai Jing's old thief would use this as a 'promotion' of him, but it is such a place and such a government.Without strong soldiers and strong generals, and without the fighting spirit of the people, how can we capture this group of strong men with only Jeju's own strength?What if these guys came to the city to borrow food every now and then, as they did a few days ago?

As an old man with a long history of officialdom, Zhang Shuye also saw the paper related to Yang Zhi's punishment.At a glance, he knew that Yang Zhi was wronged, and that Yuncheng County's credit was false; moreover, Yang Zhi was from a famous family, and according to the survivors of the last battle, he had extraordinary martial arts skills.If Yang Zhi can be saved, Zhang Shuye will have a strong general waiting for him before he is assigned to go on the road.

But after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Shuye decided to let go.

He who just took office, it's better not to get into a stalemate with his subordinates because of Yang Zhi.

You know, after Cao Jing's "good news" spread to the state capital, in the following days, Qinghe and Juye counties also sent "good news" one after another, saying that they had retreated from the Liangshan bandits who invaded the county. .And the three counties of Dong'e, Rencheng, and Zhongdu, where the county seat is a little far away from the water park, also sent documents stating that the Liangshan bandits had harassed the county and were repulsed.

Obviously, not only Yuncheng County was blackmailed by bandits in Jeju Prefecture.If Yang Zhi's crimes were absolved, the holes in Yuncheng County would not be easily repaired, and so would other counties.He, Zhang Shuye, had just taken office as the magistrate of Jeju, and he offended all the magistrates under his command.How will you manage in the future?

This Yang Zhi, who was lucky in his life, was really unlucky.

　I'll go, it's really pitiful to push for collection...
