Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

"It's really edible!" Outside the Xiuling Palace, masters conscripted them early, but they didn't dig ditches for road construction, but cut weeds for cooking.

Shengjia toured the west, with an entourage of more than [-] people, and the daily consumption was astonishing.You can also eat dry food during the march, and you have to eat hot meals when you rest on the way.What's more, we have to prepare dry food, pickles, and soy sauce for the next march, and prepare hay and bean cakes for the horses. There are a lot of things that can only be done by enlisting the people.

According to the news from above, Shengjia has already passed Ganhao Town, Shihao Town, Xiashi County, and Qiziban, and is about to arrive at Xiuling Palace.

The saint is going to stay in Shanzhou for a few days, everyone is busy, it is certain that the day and night will continue.

However, it's nothing more than doing work for the saint. After all, his old man has really benefited everyone, but what's going on with these foodies?
Feng Guojun?Looking at them with unshaven beards, they look like reincarnated starving ghosts. Don't they be savages who came out of some ravine again?
Shaluqi was eating the hot pancake, and his face was a little unnatural.

The Fan soldiers of the Fengguo Army are indeed too tasty.After eating two sheets of Hubing, there is still a bowl of corn and rice, which has exceeded the supply standard. If the sage hadn't said casually, "eat with an open belly", the officials below probably wouldn't be able to give food so readily.

eat!Eat hard!After eating, you will die.

Remembering that they will lead the battle from now on, Shaluqi is relieved.People who work hard must be treated preferentially, right?With this thought, he felt that he should care about the mental state of the soldiers.

"It's been a few months since I came to the Central Plains, but I miss my hometown?" He sat next to several officers and asked.

He was said to be an officer, but he was actually the son of the clan leader.Their skills may not be much better than soldiers, but their status and background are different, so they are naturally officers.The most important thing is that they can speak the Bohai official dialect "Haneryu", and they followed their parents to increase their knowledge when paying tribute.As far as this ability is concerned, officers really can only be done by them.

"I don't miss it at all."

Xia Luqi was taken aback by the officers' answers.

He misses Qingzhou very much. It is the place where he was born and grew up with beautiful mountains and rivers. There are so many good memories.In his opinion, these Jurchens should be the same, right?

"Why?" he asked.

"It's too poor, there are few delicious and interesting things, and it's boring to death." Someone said: "The military envoy doesn't know, I won't be hungry waiting in the north, even if it snows for several months, people stay in the cave." , That feeling is hard to describe."

Sha Luqi thought about it for a while, but also shuddered.

It was really difficult for a person to live in that environment for five full months.

"Some people yelled madly, and some got bored. If you want to use something delicious and fun, you have to be slaughtered." Another person said: "Southerners like to make tea, but in fact, the richer Bohai, Mohe People can learn how to make tea from southerners, but the price is too expensive.”

"I thought tea was so expensive, but when I came to the Central Plains, I discovered that city people, monks and Taoists can drink boiled tea in shops for a few pennies."

"Furthermore, we sell the furs in Liaodong very cheaply. Sometimes a piece of fox skin is cheated by others, and they are exchanged for a few clay pots and porcelain bowls. But when I came to Luoyang, I realized how valuable fox skins are. .”

Shaluqi shook his head when he heard this, and he didn't know whether he was pitying those deceived Mohe people, or angry at those treacherous businessmen.

"Actually, the richest people in the Mohe tribes are nothing in the Central Plains." Another person said; "Yesterday, I was amazed to hear the military officials talking about the Guozhou pasture."

Most of the pastures that the world has heard of raise horses, and a few raise sheep, cattle, and pigs. It is really anecdotal. In fact, Guozhou Ranch is such a wonderful thing, and it is the only one in the world.

In its heyday, it was heard that there were tens of thousands of pigs, and it was impossible to control them.

The pig jumped up, jumped out, and ran into the forest, turning into a wild boar.For these lost "state-owned assets", the herdsmen were still able to catch them at first, but it was easy to catch sheep and cattle, but it was not easy to catch pigs, especially in the mountains and forests.

Later, it was let go, and the court didn't care too much. After all, few people like to eat pork, and it's worthless, so just run away.

A few years ago, someone proposed to abolish the Guozhou pastures and distribute the land to the people for cultivation, but it was not implemented.

There are still tens of thousands of pigs in the Guozhou pasture, and the Jurchens are all shocked to hear that.

The famous Wanyanxiu has a ranch and raises [-] pigs, and he is already rich.They dare not imagine how rich tens of thousands of pigs must be.

Shaluqi also laughed out loud.

He was also speechless about this wonderful ranch.This time the sage traveled west to Chang'an, and the Guozhou Ranch sent more than a thousand pigs to the army as military supplies.

Among the masters recruited, there are some who specialize in butchering pigs.Wild vegetables, green onions and leeks were mixed with large pieces of pork and cooked in one pot. He had already eaten two meals.

"Hearing what you say, I'm relieved." Xia Luqi said: "Shaanxi and Guozhou were not peaceful before. Thirty years ago, when Huang Chao attacked Tongguan, the people fled and the fields were barren. Qi Kerang led the army to the village outside the pass. The rations in the pass were not delivered, and they could not raise them themselves. The army was hungry and most of them collapsed. It can be seen how far Shaanxi has reached. It is already an important town in the west of Beijing, and the life of the people has been turned upside down. The saint has the ability to make good fortune, I have always admired it, you don't have to think too much, fight for the saint, and sooner or later you can live a good life."

"General Tu knows, right? Shanxi and Guozhou are their residences, and their families are mostly scattered in various counties. They are all healthy and prosperous, their mothers-in-law can wear nice clothes, and it is not difficult to raise a few children. In their current life, you It may not be impossible, as long as you dare to work hard."

"There are quite a few foreigners in the forbidden army. You can ask in the future if they are all living a good life."

Shaluqi said a lot, and the emotions of the officers were also ignited.

Facts speak louder than words.When you were in that shitty place in Heishui, you talked so much that others would be skeptical.Even the soldiers of the Luoyan Army who returned home on leave brought back a lot of rare gadgets, which only caused a small commotion.

Whatever it is, you have to see for yourself.

But then again, the more people come to the Central Plains, the more news will be sent back.A few people say how good this place is, others will not believe it, but when hundreds or thousands of people say the same, it will cause a qualitative change, and then it will be another scene.

Either raise your troops to the south, capture the Central Plains, and enjoy this colorful world.

Either join the Central Plains, work for the emperor of the Central Plains, and exchange military exploits for wealth.

At the moment when they were scared of being beaten, the Jurchen tribe would only choose the latter.

As for what to do at home after they leave.Who the hell can control so much, I will give you the crypt of my hometown, don't want it, and everything there will have nothing to do with me in the future.

"To be honest, the Western Expedition is your only chance." Xia Luqi put down a pork stick and said, "As long as you don't kill the good and take the merits, every head will be rewarded. Gaochang Uighur is actually easy to fight. "

Shaluqi had never fought Uyghurs before, and he didn't know how good their combat effectiveness was, but their morale was undeniable.Didn't the Ganzhou Uighurs have been killed by the saints?So what about the Gaochang Uighurs?After defeating the Gaochang Uighurs, maybe the Congxi Uighurs can be dealt with.

But as soon as he said this, everyone immediately became more courageous, as if a beautiful life was close at hand.

******
On the hillside to the east of Xiuling Palace, Shao Shude casually flipped through the military newspaper from Huainan.

Li Siyuan, Zhou Dewei and others have conquered Xuanzhou and killed Tao Ya, the governor of Shezhou.

Qian Liu's army besieged Muzhou for more than a month, and the defenders killed Zhu Siqing and surrendered.

Yang Shihou has repeatedly defeated the Huai army, conquered Changzhou City, and is currently mopping up the surrounding counties, and the situation is very good.

Zhu Yanshou led his army eastward and joined forces with King Qin's army.At the expense of casualties, they stormed Chuzhou and pulled it out.

Haozhou is one of the important towns of the Huai Army, and it is still resisting. The King of Qin has ordered the army to go north, preparing to completely encircle and wipe out this heavy group of Huai people.

The Yang-Wu Group, which was once famous for a while, is getting closer and closer to the grave.

"It's the first day of February..." Shao Shude thought for a while, and said, "Most counties in Huainan still have time to catch up with the spring sowing, so the losses have been minimized. Xu Wen and Zhang Hao have made meritorious service in this battle."

The two of them were already on their way to Chang'an, bringing with them hundreds of members of Yang's family.

For the Huainan forces, losing may be very sad.

For the descendants of Yang Xingmi, it may be a good thing——

The members of the Yang family were locked together, matching each other, and staged a large-scale orthopedic human relations tragedy.Xu Wen and his son's matter is really dishonest, although they are not entirely responsible.

"This year, go north again to attack Abaoji, so that his small group will completely fall apart." Shao Shude looked at the North Yamen Privy Envoy Yang Yu standing in front of him, and said: "Those who submit to the south from the Qi, Wugu, and Tatar tribes, Collect them all, put them under the control of the Beiya, and order them to cooperate with the army to counterattack Abaoji. Don’t stop recruiting the Khitan remnants, let them suspect each other and betray each other.”

"I obey the order." Yang Jue replied.

Before the Western Expedition, the worries about the future must be completely resolved.

Huainan is one worry, Khitan is another.Now the situation in these two directions is very good. If you want to fight against the world with one corner, you must be prepared for defeat.

A Baoji's only choice is to run a little farther, a little further...

"Is Anyi County on the other side?" Shao Shude asked, pointing to the north bank of the Yellow River.

"Your Majesty, with Zhongtiao Mountain in the way, you can't see Anyi County." Yang Juan reminded.

Shao Shude laughed.

For many of his children, Longchi Palace in Anyi is the place where they were born or grew up.

Back then, Longchi Palace hired Zhao Guanwen, the number one scholar, and Du Honghui and Du Yanlin, the two brothers of Prime Minister Du Rangneng, to teach the children of the Shao family to learn literature. There were also top martial arts masters to teach martial arts, and they could also learn the art of war. The quality of education in the school is extremely high. .

Shao Shude gave a great reward to those who were close to Yuan Cong or those who had meritorious deeds, so he enrolled his son to study in Longchi Palace.

It is beneficial to study with Shaw children.

Some people fell in love with the princess and could eat as much as they wanted.

Someone got the opportunity to become an official, and was trusted by the emperor.

Someone has a close relationship with King Qin, which lays the foundation for the future.

In short, there are many benefits, and many people have sharpened their heads and haven't had a chance to get in yet.

For Shao Shude, moving his old nest from Lingzhou to Anyi conveyed to the people around him his determination to enter the Central Plains.You must know that Anyi was very close to the front line at that time, passing Wangwu Mountain to the east and entering the boundary of Heyang.

Such a radical move may have played a certain role in promoting the situation of the war. In the end, he captured Heyang and gained a lot. The Shao family was weak, and the Chu family made great contributions to strengthening the Shao family.

In this process, the only one who owes money may be the Wang family.

"I have done two bad things in my life. One is to deceive my brother-in-law, and the other is to deceive Wang Gong and Wang Ke." Shao Shude looked back and said in an incomprehensible tone: "The military chaos in Shanzhou, although It fell on Zhu Quanzhong's head, but it was actually my fault."

Yang Juan remained silent.How can he accept this?Everyone knows it, but don't say it.

Shao Shude laughed.

He is not afraid.The history books will only record that Zhu Quanzhong took his adoptive son Youqian, single-handedly planned the military rebellion, and was finally picked by Shao Shude.

His image is still glorious and righteous.

In the long history of Taotao, I don't know how many such things have happened. Under the plain records, there are hidden secrets that are not well known.

It is not uncommon to be taboo for the venerable.

"Where does the first-class national road lead to?" Shao Shude asked.

"We've reached Tongguan." Yang Jue replied.

"It's not bad, and the action is not slow." Shao Shude said: "I will stay in Xiuling Palace for three days. I will meet the elderly from Shanzhou, and then go west. I hope that when I arrive in Tongguan, I can receive good news from Huainan."
