Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 313 A captive with a lot of thoughts, Zong Ying who works hard
Liangshan Dazhai.The back mountain in the night is very quiet. Even with the light of open flames, the sergeants on duty never relax for a moment, and the soldiers on patrol also follow the established patrol route, passing through the woods, trails, mountains, and rivers again and again.But they never made a loud bang.

But in the upper district, Zhang Shuye, Chen Wenzhao, Hu Yanzhuo, Zhang Qing, Xuan Zan, Sun Li, Shi Wengong, etc. counted as one, but no one could sleep peacefully.

Of course they were not treated harshly, let alone punished by Liang Shanbo.The reason for this is entirely because the mood was affected by each bad news.

As the young man of Lao Zhao's family, everyone wants to see the "company" they work for grow bigger and bigger, but they don't want to see huge red deficits on the financial report.

But now they have just heard bad news one after another, and they all seem to have seen that the sky of Old Zhao's family has collapsed...

The Southern Route Army was defeated, with only less than 5000 of the [-] land and water elite left, which was no longer useful; the [-] elite West Route Army was also wiped out, Taiwei Gao Qiu was beheaded, Jing Zhong, Qiu Yue and other veterans were killed ;The Northwest Route Army was newly defeated, Wang Huan was captured, Puzhou City was destroyed, and Liu Zhen was killed...

As long as these civil servants and military generals in the upper district still have a part in their hearts towards the old Zhao's family, it is difficult for them to sleep at night.

Too bad, too bad.

Even in the 30 years of fighting against the Liao Kingdom, the Song Army has never experienced such a disastrous defeat; even in the series of defeats at the beginning of the war with Xixia, the number of soldiers lost was far less than today.

Although the Great Song Dynasty was still rich in the world and supported millions of soldiers, it was defeated every ten quarters. Apart from the troops of the Western Army, how many elites were left?The emperor of the Zhao family doesn't know, can these civil servants and military generals have no clues in their hearts?Such a defeat broke the backs of the officers and soldiers.Afterwards, the bandits in Liangshanbo ran rampant in Qilu, Hebei, and Huainan, and even entered Jingji Road in one fell swoop. If the Western Army couldn't catch up, who could stop them?

And even if the imperial court wanted to transfer the Western Army back to the Central Plains, it would not take a blink of an eye to call tens of thousands of troops to fly over with wings to fill the hole left by the total defeat of the army in this battle.

Not to mention the West Route Army, the Northwest Route Army has assembled most of the current military forces on the East and West Routes of Beijing. With the defeat of Puzhou City, Xingren Prefecture, Guangji Army, and Dongchang Prefecture all opened their doors.Tens of thousands of Liangshan troops killed them, attacked the city and pulled out the village, as if they had entered a land without people.The Lu thief had the courage to point his troops at Ying Tianfu and enter Jingji Road. Who could do anything to him?
This is really a metamorphosis of the elbow and armpit, which caught people off guard.

At the same time, the defeat of Xiangyuan Township also opened the door to Huainan, and the Liangshan Army could fight all the way to the south of the Yangtze River along the canal.

Don't forget that there is also the scourge of Manichaeism in Jiangnan.When Zhang Shuye found out that Gao Qiu was killed and the entire West Route Army was wiped out, he shouted that the world was in danger.

The single Liang Shanbo seems not enough to leverage the throne of the old Zhao family, and the single Manichaeism cannot make Zhang Shuye flustered.But if these two lines of rebels and rebels get mixed together, the world will be in danger.

But now the two gangs of bandits are not only mixed together, but also have an especially close connection.It was only after Zongze got involved in Liangshanbo's affairs that he realized that the relationship between Manichaeism and Liangshanbo was so close.After hearing this, Zhang Shuye became frowning and worried.

Under the moonlight, Hu Yanzhuo's gray beard seemed to be covered with a layer of silver.Looking up at the bright moon in the sky, Hu Yanzhuo couldn't fall asleep no matter what.He is not young.Don't look at Han Cunbao's "big name" for a long time. He became the commander of the military region, and he seems to be leaving behind Hu Yanzhuo for a while, but only talking about age, he is not a few years older than Hu Yanzhuo.Putting the two together for comparison, even more people would choose Hu Yanzhuo as the older one.

This is because Han Cumbao, who has had a smooth journey, is well-maintained and looks as if he is not even half a hundred years old.Hu Yanzhuo, who was a few years younger, had to go through countless twists and turns before he could assume the position of commander-in-chief of Runing. After 30 years of official career, it is normal for people to look older with their hair and beard turning gray.

The Huyan family is also the noble family of the old Zhao family, but it has been passed down to the present, and it has also declined.It is far from being comparable to the Han family in Xiangzhou.But Hu Yanzhuo has a heart for the old Zhao family.

He has been captured for a long time, but he has no thoughts of surrender in his heart.There is even a deep sense of guilt towards the old Zhao family.

Whenever he sees Liang Shanbo grow bigger, Hu Yanzhuo can't help but think, the fault is not that he is incompetent, making it difficult for him to advance, how can Liang Shanbo be allowed to become stronger?Until the winter of last year, the scene outside the water pond seemed to be like a basin of cold water, pouring him a chill.But Hu Yanzhuo still didn't think of surrendering, but just felt disheartened.

In these days, Zong Ying often came to preach and persuade to surrender, but Hu Yanzhuo would not listen.It's just that he can be a loyal minister by himself, but he can't control other people's thoughts.

Whether it was Han Tao, Peng Qi, Ding Desun, Gong Wang, Zhang Qing, Xuan Zan, Zhang Zhongxiong, or Sun Li, Shi Wengong, they didn't show anything on the surface, but they were all whispering in their hearts.

Gao Qiu was defeated, and the conquest of the imperial court's 20 troops was doomed to failure.In a short time, who can stop Liangshan Po?
If Lu Qian is bold, he can lead an army straight into the city of Tokyo.

In this way, everyone thought of a sentence-a great loss to the imperial court.

And what is the meaning behind this sentence, even an adult knows it well.

The 20 army was defeated, and the commander-in-chief's Taiwei who led the army died on the spot. How can such a court be frightening?Perhaps there is no need to wait until Fangla in the south of the Yangtze River raises troops, then there will be riots in Sichuan, West Beijing and other places.

For the first time, the allure of the Founding Fathers is being taken seriously by some.You can scold Zong Ying for wishful thinking, or scold Liang Shanbo for being a bunch of grassroots bandits.But whoever really thinks Liang Shanbo is a nest of useless grass bandits, then he is really a fool.

Although the future of Liang Shanjun is still the future, anyone can "see" it.Even though the possibility of that ambition becoming a reality is very small, no amount of insults from you can erase this possibility.

Zhang Zhongxiong turned over, heard his father's sigh from next door, bit his lips, and suppressed the heat in his heart again.He still didn't want to make his father angrily deny his son.Liang Shanbo's current hope is too small, and he hasn't been able to make him as firm as Zong Ying.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhongxiong's heart, which had just been icy cold, was agitated again.In fact, Zong Ying's current position made him too jealous.

Lu Qian didn't return to Dazhai, but the order came early. Zong Ying was appointed as the deputy military adviser in charge of secrets. Although he didn't immediately become the head of the first division, it was obvious that the position was very important.Not only does he have enviable privileges, but he also directly controls a troop that obeys his orders.

So much so that in recent times even the persuasion of the upper district to capitulate is not very common, and they are all focused on getting into the 'secret'.

And what about Zongze?Obviously knew what his son was doing, but kept his mouth shut.In Zhang Zhongxiong's view, this was dragged into the water by his son, forcing Zongze to change his attitude.His father has changed his attitude towards Zong Ze recently.

Thinking of this, Zong Ying reminded Zhang Zhongxiong of himself.Psychologically... Worried.

The Zhang family is not a small family like the Zong family, nor is he an only child like Zong Ying.If it were him who had followed Zong Ying's style, it is more likely that the father would call his elder brother to beat him to death.

Zhang Zhongxiong knew his brother's character.That's a stubborn thing, and he is extremely filial to his father.But he doesn't have such a flexible mind as Zhang Laoer.

Zhang Zhongxiong raised his head and looked at the stars in the night sky, listening to his big brother's snoring in his ears, and he was filled with sorrow!
But Zong Ying, whom Zhang Zhongxiong envied, hadn't fallen asleep yet.It's just that if people don't sleep, it's not because they are full of worries and can't sleep, but because they are working overtime and staying up late, and they are paying close attention to every minute and every second to perfect the "Government Plan" in their hands.

This is the first task that Lu Qian entrusted to him - to start writing a book of government policy for officials.Convene old officials and servants, standardize and summarize the things to be done after the county magistrate of a place takes office, and the daily ideas of herdsmen.

Lu Qian is going to learn from the famous Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang. Old Zhu wrote a book "Instructions for Arrival" back then.The purpose is to teach those new masters who have just taken the imperial examination how to be an official and a good official.

Because Master Xin Ke is essentially a scholar.I was a scholar the day before yesterday, and now I am a parent all over the place, so how can I be competent?

You know, after the ripening of the old Zhao family, the imperial examination has become the mainstream of the imperial court in the Ming Dynasty.Moreover, anyone who passed the imperial examination would be a parent official if he got more hands-on.And how complicated the government affairs in a county are, the countless subordinates in the county government, the rich gentry in the county, the people's hearts are strange, and the intrigues are so unpredictable. How can a new scholar be able to settle these things?

Presumably Zhu Hongwu would not regard Xinke Scholars as stars in the sky, but more as a group of fledgling rookies.And Zhu Hongwu was also afraid that the Jinshi he won would be a bookworm who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between five grains, and the people in the county will suffer.So he authored and compiled such a book "Instructions for Arrival".It is specially issued to Jinshi of Xinke, which is also a normative decree issued by Zhu Hongwu.Among them, there are 31 items that list the affairs that local officials should handle, which is called "the secret of being an official".In case those disciples of the Son of Heaven who had won honors in the Toad Palace would have their eyes darkened when they arrived at the local government, they would not even be able to grasp the key points of how to lead a county's government affairs, and would be manipulated by local subordinates.

Lu Qian has a long-term vision and knows that even if he captures Qilu, he won't be able to find enough 'study seeds' to become an official.That being the case, it might as well start cultivating it yourself.Although the individual's cultural quality is definitely not as high as Jinshi's, but they are better than reassuring him? After sweeping Qilu, Liang Shanbo will definitely accept some old officials and talents who are willing to defect, and he is not sure about the officials he will train. 'Er is really competent, but be prepared and do your best.

Anyway, to be an official is not really necessary to recognize the Four Books and Five Classics, and that is to say, a copy of "Song Xingtong" and a book of counting are much more useful in the daily affairs of the yamen than the Four Books and Five Classics.

He asked Zong Ying to compile "Policy Strategies", but the drunkard's intention was not to drink, Zong Ying knew it, but Zong Ze was still attached to him.The book is to systematically explain all aspects of the daily operation of a county government under the official framework that Lu Qian has formulated.It also compiled a unified compilation of the key points of government affairs that must be grasped first when the new magistrate comes to office.

The government system that Lu Qian 'hopes' to see in the future is first of all independent judiciary and finance.

In the Song Dynasty, there were also state capitals, road transfer envoys, criminal officers, and prison officials, etc., but these mostly existed at the administrative level above the county level, but Lu Qian wanted them to exist at the county level.He also knows how hateful and difficult the treacherous subordinates in the local government are. This problem has been a persistent problem that has plagued China for thousands of years.In this way, he set up a special judicial department and taxation department, and then used the policy of working in different places to solve this problem as much as possible.

At the same time, the independence of judiciary and finance is also to limit the power of 'county magistrates', and also to let people understand what is specialization in art.There is also the division of civil and military duties, the division of powers between the garrison in the army and the local government, and so on.

Zong Ying has been away with her father for many years, and she has a thorough knowledge of the common things in the county government.But even so, it is difficult to compile such a book.Fortunately, there are a large number of local government documents, documents, case files, and official documents stored in Liangshanbo.However, Lu Qian had planned in this regard for a long time, and he asked people to pay attention to the warehouse before he captured a place.So many materials are enough for Zong Ying to compile a book.

But the premise is that he can find what he can use from these countless files...

Zong Ze got up in the middle of the night and looked towards the west wing where his son slept.The candlelight was still burning in front of the window, and the figure that should be on the window could be clearly seen.
