Cultivating immortals, starting from immortality, bright moon toast together

Therefore, after hearing the news of the rebellion, the princes of the court had only one thought.

That is… Repression must continue.

This rebel must not be allowed to form a climate that unites them with the rebels of Western Shu.

Otherwise, by that time, the two sides will merge, enough to pull out an army of three or four hundred thousand.

At that time, the imperial court wanted to suppress the rebellion, annihilate Western Shu, and recover Xichuan County, but it was really far away.

Seeing the imperial court, he has some ZTE weather, and he will also leave a great reputation in the history of youth because of Fuzuo’s ZTE.

How could the princes of the court just look at those Miao rebels like this and destroy all this abruptly.

Needless to say.

As soon as he received the news of the rebellion, Emperor Hongdao issued an order to order Bai Mengyang, the Marquis of Wu’an, who was leading his army to rest in Nanhai County, to immediately set out and rush to Dongting County to stabilize the situation.

As for the 50,000 Pingnan army that was being repaired, they did not wait to continue repairing, but immediately transferred troops north and rushed to Dongting County to suppress the rebellion.

After making many arrangements in this way, the princes of the court and the Hongdao Emperor were relieved.

With Bai Mengyang, the innate grandmaster of the second realm, it is enough to replace Dongting County, and without Li Rail, the high-level combat power is missing.

And the subsequent 50,000 troops are also the elite of the southern conquest and the northern war. Last year, he even conquered the Jinghai Country, which can be said to be a great achievement.

With this heroic division here, it should not be a big problem to cooperate with the local prefectural soldiers in Dongting County to suppress this rebellion of the Five Poisons Sect.

However, this transfer was arranged, and a few days later, on the first day of the first month of March, an urgent report came from Wushan Mansion in Xichuan County, and the pseudo-emperor of Cangshu thieves personally led 100,000 thief soldiers to enter Kouguan City.

Now that Wushan is closed, there is a continuous war.

The defenders of Wushan Mansion are not considered rural braves, there are only more than 20,000, and the enemy is five times as many, and they can’t support it for too long, so ask the imperial court to quickly transfer reinforcements.

But at the moment of the imperial court, where can there be reinforcements to adjust?

More than three years of war have emptied the treasury. In the land of the nine counties of Dayue, except for the thief Xichuan County, five of the remaining eight counties were destroyed.

The remaining three better counties have long been apportioned one after another, and in some of the more extreme places, the taxes have been received ten years later.

The people are overwhelmed and have fled.

In this case, where did the imperial court get the money and grain to form a large army, and where did it come from the spare power to support the front line.

In the end, in desperation.

Emperor Hongdao had to issue an edict to let the local government of Dongting County be powerful and form a township brave militia group on its own to guard the township.

For these local militias, the imperial court gave official recognition. At the same time, those gentry who formed the militia were also given corresponding official positions.

The bottom line that the imperial court originally guarded and the local government was not allowed to privately recruit soldiers and horses was completely broken under the crisis of this Miao rebellion and the Western Shu Eastern Crusade.

As soon as this opening opens, the local government of Dongting County, which has gradually had some warlords because of the recruitment of township brave orders, I am afraid that it will not be long before the towns are everywhere.

But the imperial court could not take care of so much anymore.

Everywhere the clan town, let it be everywhere.

No matter how big those clans and towns are, they also follow the orders of the imperial court.

It is better to hand over Dongting County to them than to the rebel thieves of the Five Poisons Sect and the pseudo-Shu.

Therefore, after issuing this “local self-recruitment vigilante group to resist thieves”, the imperial court handed over the matter to the former Dongting County Shou, so that he could properly handle local affairs and fully support the Wu’an Houping thief.

Then, for the rebellion of Dongting County and the crusade of the Western Shu thieves, the imperial court let go.

In the absence of money and soldiers, they cannot manage it.

All this was left to the local self-determination of Dongting County.

……

Just when the court Yan Zhugong was feeling a headache for the getting worse and worse situation in Dongting County.

In Dongting County, the county government is also suffering from the headache of the getting worse situation below.

The current Dongting County Shou is named Lu Fanghai. Being able to achieve the position of the head of a county and guard thousands of miles of territory, this Lu County guard is naturally not from an ordinary person.

He was born in the Jinling Lu clan, and his family was a dignitary of Jingshi, inheriting the position of Duke of Ningguo for generations, and he was one of the top dignitaries in the entire Dayue Kingdom.

Lu Fanghai is the Duke of Ning Guo of this generation, and it is precisely because of this illustrious lord, the Lu family is in the same position as the state, so he can sit on the position of the county guard.

Otherwise, if you change to someone else, not to mention whether your origin is prominent enough, the issue of loyalty alone will have to worry the imperial court.

Originally, Lu Fanghai was very satisfied with his current position.

After all, although the county guard is only a local position, it is also ranked second-ranked, and it is not much different from the various shangshu in the dynasty. Dongting County Zhibaling City, although not as prosperous as Jinling City, but it is also the world’s famous capital, it will not be worse.

What is even more rare is that on the side of Dongting County, Lu Fanghai is the biggest official, and no one can control him.

Unlike in the capital, although he is also a top tycoon, there are many dukes of the same level, and there are still a few kings on it, and the emperor is in charge of the head, and he is not comfortable at all.

Therefore, Lu Fanghai is quite happy to come to Dongting Street to perform his duties.

But since a few years ago, this happiness has become less and less.

The rebellion wars in various parts of Dayue have gradually made this dynasty have gradually had some last scenes.

And as the Duke of Ning Guo, who rested with the country, Lu Fanghai naturally saw this scene in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

It’s a pity that although he is not a gentleman, he has some knowledge, but he still can’t do anything about the situation that overturns today.

In the end, he could only barely maintain the stability of Dongting County and help the imperial court hold these last few pieces of Ningtu, which could not be regarded as living up to his name as the Duke of Ning.

But just a dozen days ago.

Lu Fanghai’s last guardianship was also completely successful.

The Pillar of Optimus in the county, Wuyang Marquis, was actually assassinated by Li Xiong, the lord of the pseudo-Shu, and those five poisonous thieves in the county.

And as soon as Li Zhuo died, without this innate grandmaster to suppress the place, the Five Poisons Sect instantly launched a rebellion. Even the pseudo-Shu began to raise troops again and enter the Kou Wushan Mansion.

For a time, hundreds of thousands of thieves appeared in the Dongting County area, as if another day.

This suddenly deteriorating situation immediately hit this Lord Shou in the head.

“Guogong, Hengyang Prefecture urgently reported, the local Miao people rebelled, gathered tens of thousands, has fallen to the county town, now the capital city is besieged, ask the county government to send troops to support.”

“Sir, there is news from Lingling Mansion that three days ago, the Miao people gathered 50,000 people and besieged the capital city. In the city, there are Miao people meticulous, as well as ambushed martial arts masters as internal responders.

Under the combination of inside and outside, the city of Linglingfu has been destroyed, and the remaining counties have also been sentenced to be plundered by thieves, and the whole province has fallen. ”

“Duke Ming, there is news from Jiuxian Mansion that the capital city of the prefecture has also been captured by Miao traitors. At present, only a few counties in the prefecture are still holding out, and those county orders have sent urgent reports requesting reinforcements. ”

“There is an urgent report from Yangshan Mansion that tens of thousands of Miao people in the county are rioting and capturing the county seat. Fortunately, the soldiers of Nanhai County came to the rescue and barely held the capital city.

But now there are only a few thousand troops available in the city, and they are simply unable to retreat from the enemy, and ask the county government to send troops to suppress the rebellion. ”

“There is also news from Changsha Prefecture that there has been a rebellion of the Miao people in the prefecture, and the thieves have reached 100,000 people, and now they have besieged the city. Although there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, they were also unable to retreat from the enemy and needed the support of the county government. ”

“There are also tens of thousands of Miao people over there in Wuling Mansion…”

In the county capital, various subordinates summarized the information transmitted from the locality, and reported to Lu Fanghai at this time.

However, after listening to this for a while, the lord of the county guard could no longer listen, slapped his hands on the eucalyptus table, and roared angrily: “Rescue and rescue!” Counterinsurgency counterinsurgency! Everything is counting on the county government, and those local officials will not use their own brains to think of a way?

There are only so many thousands of soldiers left in my county capital, and it is difficult to guard the county capital, how can there be soldiers to save them?

Didn’t the imperial court issue an “edict on local self-financing of vigilante groups to resist thieves”?

At this time when the country is in danger, the local gentry and powerful who are deeply favored by the emperor are precisely the time to serve the country.

Give me the order to go down and let those local prefectures and counties recruit their own men to quell the rebellion.

The county capital is still busy dealing with the invasion of Shu thieves, how can there be air traffic control over them? ”

Lu Fanghai lost his temper very angrily.

Of course he knows that the place is difficult, but is it not difficult on the county side?

100,000 Shu thieves entered Kou Wushan Mansion.

Although Wushan Prefecture was administratively under the jurisdiction of Xichuan County, it was transferred to Dongting County since the fall of Xichuan County’s Zhijin Guancheng.

In other words, today’s Lu Fanghai is responsible for managing Wushan Mansion.

Now that the 100,000-strong army of Shu thieves has invaded, the Wushan Mansion may be breached at any time.

Although the rebellion of those Miao people in the county is serious, in terms of threat, it is still far inferior to the Shu thieves who have become a climate and have a complete establishment.

Therefore, Lu Fanghai’s main strategy now is still local, with local self-determination, and the county capital mainly resisting the invasion of Shu thieves, and each side sweeps the snow in front of the door.

I don’t ask for it, and don’t bother me.

But now it seems that such a basic requirement cannot be met.

Lord Gunshou lost his temper, and many officials in the hall were startled, and then looked at their Shangguan’s face, and for a while they were a little unable to speak.

Just when the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, a small official below, after looking through an official document in his hand, hesitated, but still stretched out his hand and said: “Guogong, I just received a report here, and I feel that I need Guogong’s personal instructions.” ”

Lu Fanghai’s eyes turned around, staring at this guy with a pair of eyes, secretly thinking that this person was so ignorant, and he dared to say something annoying when he was angry, and he was a little angry in his heart, and almost wanted this person to get out.

But thinking that in the difficult times now, there was a person who was willing to do things for the imperial court, and it was rare to endure his anger, and said angrily: “What kind of report?” Let’s hear it, I’d rather see what went wrong again, and I want the county to send troops to the rescue. ”

“Guogong misunderstood, this is not a request for help.”

The little official coughed lightly, then walked out of the column, saluted Lu Fanghai, and then got up and said, “This is a request for merit from Shaoyang Mansion.” ”

With that, he folded his hands and handed them over.

Please do the work?

When everyone heard this, they couldn’t help but be shocked.

In today’s rebellion everywhere, when local governments and counties are in a hurry to ask for help, it is really strange that there are still places that can send reports for merit.

Could it be that the prefectures and counties where they won the battle could not be won?

If so, then the local officials are really powerful.

Lu Fanghai reacted, and he didn’t care about his usual reserve, and quickly stepped forward two steps to grab the newspaper and open it to see.

His gaze quickly swept over the newspaper, looking at the word and line on it, and after reading it back and forth several times, the Lord Shou finally started the newspaper together and couldn’t help laughing.

After a while, he put away his laughter, and then looked at the hall, and everyone said with a red light: “Gentlemen, there is good news from Shaoyang Mansion.” Five days ago, the Miao people sent 30,000 troops to attack the city of Shaoyangfu,

The commander in the palace made Lu Yuan get the news, and immediately led 5,000 troops and took the initiative to attack.

Then he encountered the rebels in the field, and Lu commanded the soldiers to take the lead and defeat the rebels in one fell swoop.

Then the morale of the thief army plummeted, and a rout occurred. Lu ordered the whole army to cover and defeat the thief army.

In this battle, 5,000 thieves, the first rank, and tens of thousands, were captured.

Then Lu commanded the envoy to continue to lead the army to attack, and then defeated the more than 10,000 thief army besieging Xinhua County, beheading more than 3,000, and completely solving the siege of Xinhua.

Now they are even divided into four places to eliminate traitors everywhere in the palace.

Cui Changqing, the prefect of Shaoyang, sent a good report, believing that Lu Yuanlu’s command in this battle was a great meritorious achievement, breaking 40,000 thieves and capturing more than 20,000.

Therefore, he asked the county court to reward the meritorious soldiers. ”

Lu Fanghai held the newspaper in his hand and said to the officials in the hall with an excited face.

No wonder he acted like that.

In the bad news of the county now wailing for help, such a big news of Shaoyang Mansion suddenly appeared, which was too eye-catching and exciting.

After hearing the news, many officials couldn’t help but look at each other, and then digested it, and they all became excited.

“Seriously?”

“Of course it’s true, since it is written in the newspaper, there are eight thousand beheadings. Then send someone to check this matter and know the authenticity. Shaoyang Mansion will not be so stupid and deceive me and wait in this kind of thing. ”

“If it is true that eight thousand beheadings have been beheaded, then the news that this battle has broken tens of thousands of traitors is true. With such heavy losses to thieves, Shaoyang Mansion would be safe. ”

“Alas, it’s a pity. Only Shaoyang Mansion has such a Lu commander. If other prefectures and counties could be so powerful, why should the imperial court worry. ”

“Who is this Lu Yuan? How come you haven’t heard of it before? ”

“I do remember this person. He was in August of the first year of Hongdao, and because the county government had no troops to quell the rebels in Wugang County, he was recommended by Sun Siwen, who was then the county commander on behalf of the county commander, and directly replaced the county captain with the strength of a second-rate warrior.

This person then assisted Sun Xiancheng in recruiting soldiers and horses, and in that year, he urgently urged those rebels in Wugang County to recover the land for the imperial court.

Later, on the grounds of this merit, he was promoted to the commander of Shaoyang Prefecture. ”

“It turns out that this commander Lu still has a resume to wait. He was originally a fierce general with great combat achievements, and now he has won a big victory, which is not surprising. ”

“At this time of crisis, it is really a blessing for the country to have such a hero serving in the imperial court.”

All the officials present were full of discussions, and all of them were extremely excited.

Looking at what his subordinates said endlessly, Lu Fanghai was also happy in his heart, taming has not had this kind of mood for a long time.

However, he was the head of a county and remembered his duties, so he coughed lightly at this time, stopped everyone from talking, and then asked: “Cui Zhifu played a report, and he wanted to ask for merit for Commander Lu and those meritorious soldiers.”

You all say, how should the county court confer a reward?

It was also mentioned in the newspaper that in the two battles before and after this time, they both had fewer blows and more blows, and although they won a big victory, the government soldiers also lost a lot.

The 5,000 rebel army was killed in battle and wounded and retreated. Now it can be a fighter, but it is worth two thousand.

These wounded and wounded need a large amount of money to be compensated. After that, the re-recruitment of the army in the palace required a large amount of silver money. The meritorious soldiers are still waiting for the reward, which again requires a large expense.

Shaoyang is just a poor mansion, and he is already in financial distress, and he can’t afford so many expenses.

Therefore, I asked the county government for support, and I could transfer the pen and silver to help the local government solve the urgent needs. ”

When the officials heard these requests, the original excitement suddenly cooled down a lot, and then they looked at each other, and no one spoke.

Because the reward for meritorious soldiers is a matter for the imperial court to consider, and it is not their turn to intervene in the local county government.

And the pensions for the casualties, with the county government’s increasingly embarrassing finances, I am afraid that there will be no money.

Speaking at this time, no matter what is said, it is wrong.

Lu Fanghai glanced at the expressions of his subordinates, and snorted coldly in his heart, not knowing what was in their hearts.

These guys, who are active in making money on weekdays, really want to use people, but shrink one by one. The country is in the hands of these people, and it is strange that there is no trouble.

Thinking like this, he completely forgot that when he actually collected money, he did not make a small profit. On the contrary, as a county guard, he fished more than anyone.

But people are always good at ignoring their own shortcomings and discovering the shortcomings of others.

At this time, Lu Fanghai felt quite good.

Doesn’t it mean that he has the knowledge to see people and be good at discovering talents?

Therefore, in a good mood, our Ning Guogong, Dongting County Shou, and Lu Bole waved their hands at this time: “The local soldiers suppressed the rebellion for the country and guarded the territory, this is a great achievement, and it cannot be rewarded unless it is rewarded heavily.”

I decided to ask the imperial court to appoint Lu as a general of Fenwu, and he would be the commander of the county government to suppress the rebellion, in charge of the local government and county soldiers in the county, and be responsible for suppressing the local rebellion.

At the same time, another 100,000 taels of silver were allocated to the county mansion to compensate the soldiers, recruit new soldiers, and rearmament. ”

When everyone present heard this, they looked at each other again, and they could see the shock in each other’s eyes.

Because the reward given by Lord Gunshou is too rich.

General Fenwu, although he is only a miscellaneous general, but that is also the martial position of the fourth grade. In terms of level, it is two grades higher than the prefect of a place.

And in charge of the entire county capital and county soldiers, that is even more justifiably meddling in the military affairs of various places, and deploying soldiers and horses from all over the country in an upright manner. This kind of power is almost equivalent to a county lieutenant.

Now Lord Gunshou gave these two names to that Lu Yuan, and he really saw the joy in his heart.

But think differently.

Now that the county is such a mess, Lord Shou pushed Lu Yuan up, and he didn’t have the idea of finding someone to top the pot.

Whether this is good or bad is really a bit difficult to say.

But anyway, in this case of bad news, Lu Yuan, the only one who has made achievements now, really has a bit of the atmosphere of a cave court savior.

Everyone was in a state of confusion and complicated for a while.
