Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

However, Shi Congyun saw so many people by the river to send him off, there were tens of thousands of people, and the green onion river was full of moving heads, and a large number of people stretched south along the east bank of the river, looming under the trees by the river, and his heart suddenly jumped. don't get up fast.

Immediately said to the little yellow flower beside him: "Go back, go to the side hall and call Fei to me."

Little Huang Hua already knew how to ride a horse, she nodded while riding her pony, and asked again: "What did A Lang ask her to do?"

"I want to scold her!" Shi Congyun said very unhappy.

........

At noon, after Liu Qingchuan led the troops away, the army also began to get busy. The troops going north and south moved according to his orders last night, but they only said that they were retreating in batches according to the plan.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to his plan, but that afternoon, the soldiers came to see him with a face of embarrassment, and brought a piece of news that made him almost yell at him.

Veteran Li Hanchao robbed a young widow from a village outside the city because of his disobedience!

Shi Congyun was furious and asked where Li Hanchao was. The soldiers said that the common people had come to the barracks to complain, but Shao Ji had taken them down and they were being guarded in the Chinese army tent.

Shi Congyun didn't care about the disheveled Fei Shi who was scolded by him in the hall, so he rode out of the city, angry while thinking about how to deal with it.

He thought about other people's accidents, but he never thought about Li Hanchao's accidents.

Because he is already in his early fifties!At such an old age, he still robbed widows, almost made him smoke with anger!

Moreover, Li Hanchao is very difficult to fight. He has made a lot of contributions to him along the way, and this time the attack on Shu is no exception. It is necessary to strictly enforce military discipline and also consider his achievements. This really created a big problem for him.

When Shi Congyun entered the camp angrily, Li Hanchao had already been tied behind his back. His old face was flushed and he knelt on the ground, not daring to see him. A 27-year-old young woman next to him was crying and covering her face, not daring to see anyone.

The woman couldn't see her face, but she had a graceful figure, especially her relatively well-developed chest muscles, which looked like they were about to explode.

Apart from those who have already led the soldiers away, many people are around.

Shi Congyun was furious before anyone could open his mouth, and cursed: "Li Hanchao, Li Hanchao! I've thought about it, and I've thought that countless people will know the law and break the law, why is it you!

A certain point is not good for you, the military salary is not enough for you, or there are not many rewards!You're a fucking veteran, you've been fighting for decades, and you don't even understand the rules of the military! "

Li Hanchao was ashamed and speechless, he could only lower his head and not look at him.

"The rewards I gave you, the officials I added to you, your official salary, at least tens of thousands of dollars, even if you go whoring, I don't care if you buy it, you just go for it!" Shi Congyunyue said The more angry, the people around dared not speak.

"Marshal, the old minister has been obsessed with sex for a while, please forgive me!" Li Hanchao also came to his senses now, kowtowing and admitting his mistake.

Shi Congyun asked directly with a cold face: "Dou Yi, how to deal with it according to the military law."

Dou Yi didn't hesitate, "According to the general's military law, he should die."

"Pull it out and chop it!" Shi Congyun roared angrily.

These Li Hanchao turned pale with fright, and the generals around him also knelt down and said: "Commander, General Li has meritorious service, General Li has meritorious service! Although he broke the military law, General Li broke Nanping and Wuping back then, and now he is conquering Shu and ruling Jiangling. Great credit!"

Cao Bin, the superintendent, also came out to speak for Li Hanchao, enumerating the contributions Li Hanchao had made on the road to conquer Shu, and begging Shi Congyun to spare his life.

After more than a dozen people in the big tent knelt down to intercede for Li Hanchao, Shi Congyun said bitterly: "Of course I know that he has meritorious deeds and that he can fight!

A certain person asked Wang Huan to lead the army in Jingzhou in order to transfer him back to Beijing and let him be the deputy commander of the Guards Department! "

In fact, Shi Congyun is bragging, Li Hanchao's contribution is not as good as the Deputy Commander of the Guards Department......

"You disappoint me so much, you disappoint me too much!" Shi Congyun said twice repeatedly.

Hearing this, Li Hanchao burst into tears and regretted it unceasingly. He begged him all the time, and muttered to himself: "A certain person failed the commander-in-chief, and he couldn't control himself as the root of his troubles... I failed the commander-in-chief... handsome........"

He sighed and said: "Forget it, I remember all your achievements, even if you don't live up to it, I can't bear to kill you.

From now on, Li Hanchao will be removed from the post of commander and defense envoy, and the whole army will be notified of this matter.

I will give you 100 people, go north to find Murong Yanzhao, and go to Guanbei to defend against the Khitans. You work hard, and when the dynasty changes, I will let you go back to Beijing. Don’t let anything happen again this time, otherwise it will be bad for the soldiers and the common people Can't explain! "

"Thank you, Commander, thank you, Commander!" Li Hanchao kowtowed repeatedly, tearing up.

This punishment is very heavy, the commander of the capital, the defense envoy is already a high-ranking general, and all of them are wiped out at once; in history, even if Wang Quanbing committed a felony such as looting Sichuan, he was only reduced to the commander of the capital.

Shi Congyun's stick was so heavy that it ruined most of his struggle.

But he also gave Li Hanchao a moment of sweet dates. He not only confiscated Li Hanchao's property, but also asked him to go to Guanbei to defend against the Khitans, giving him a chance.

He had thought about it a long time ago, it would be impossible to kill a good general like Li Hanchao for this matter. Whoever will help him rule the world and who will help him fight in the future, but the soldiers need to be role models, and the people also need to be accountable.

Therefore, Li Hanchao must be punished heavily, but after the heavy punishment, he must be given a way to recover.

As long as there is a change in the court at that time, Li Hanchao can be transferred back to the capital for reuse if he has made great contributions in defending the frontier at critical times.

In this way, since it quells the anger of the people and sets an example for the soldiers, it can also make Li Hanchao have a long memory. How old is he, don't control his lower body in the future.

As for the widow, it was really miserable. She didn't have much choice, after all, she was a woman and a widow.

Shi Congyun asked her to either simply follow Li Hanchao, or Li Hanchao would accompany her for a hundred dollars and let her go back to her husband's house.

The widow thought for a while, and cried even more desolately, crying that she dared not go back to face her husband's house and the people in the village, and chose to follow Li Hanchao.

Shi Congyun asked Li Hanchao to pay the money to her husband's family, and said casually, since everything has been done, take good care of her.

He just said it casually.

Although the widow is the victim, in this age, she is no longer a human being. If she stays with Li Hanchao, she may be retaliated against, and she will not be able to be a human being when she goes back.

Even if you are a commander in chief, you can't manage this kind of thing.

Then the whole army informed the whole army about it.

Li Hanchao, a general guarding Jiangling, the commanding envoy and defense envoy of the Jingnan Army, was almost killed because he robbed a widow;

It is self-evident that the shock of this matter is great, after all, Li Hanchao's name is known in the army, the whole army is talking about it, and even the people around him know about it.

Ordinary soldiers were even more restrained, and the reputation of Zhou Jun's strict military discipline and caring for the common people spread in Shu, and his reputation became better and better.

There were even literati in Chengdu who wrote poems to praise him.

In such an atmosphere, a few days passed quickly, and the first batch of officials from Daliang finally arrived...

Chapter 298, Black Dragon in the River

At the beginning of May, there was a heavy rain in Shu, and many rivers swelled.

In the night, the pattering rain was accompanied by lightning and thunder. The sound of rain outside the hall overwhelmed everything, and the sound in the empty hall was reminiscent.

After the original tens of thousands of people's palace was emptied, it looked extraordinarily empty. Shi Congyun was wrapped in a thin silk quilt, and Fei, who was holding his icy muscles and bones in his arms, did not sleep, but was thinking about something beforehand.

At the end of April, the first batch of officials sent by the imperial court totaled 69 people, and they had already arrived in Shu.

These people are scholars who have passed the imperial examinations in the past two years, and a few are craftsmen selected according to Shi Congyun's requirements.

As for who to stay in Shu to take over the power and manage Shu for him, Shi Congyun had a candidate after careful consideration.

There are still many battles to be fought in the future, and without Jiangnan in hand, the management of Shu is extremely important.

But Shi Congyun also knew that with the expansion of the scale of the war and the long duration of the war, it was not enough to have only the land of Shu. The land of Shu was very rich, but its geography restricted it. There was only a small piece of plain to the west of Longquan Mountain, which was not as good as Jiangnan.

During the Tang Dynasty, the economic center of gravity shifted to the south was very obvious.

The initial beginning was the construction of a large number of water conservancy projects in the Eastern Han Dynasty to control flood disasters.

After the fall of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Sun Wu's deep cultivation of the six counties of Danyang, Wu, Kuaiji, Yuzhang, Lujiang, and Luling, and the development of the Taihu Lake Basin pushed this trend to a climax. Take it to cultivate the land as an example.

Sun Wu's intensive cultivation made the whole south gradually turn from a barren land in ancient books into a fertile land, and it was also the main economic support of Song, Qi, Liang, and Chen after Yongjia's southward crossing.

As the Sui and Tang dynasties continued to develop, Jiangnan was already the main source of taxation for the country. After the end of the Tang Dynasty, wars were everywhere in the north. Jiangnan, especially Wuyue on the eastern coast, remained stable in the hands of the Qian family, and economic development was maintained in an environment where the whole country was almost united.

Now that the Kingdom of Shu has been conquered, he unknowingly thinks of Jiangnan again, Zhou Xian is so homesick, he can't keep her from going home.

However, there is no need to worry about things. What he is most afraid of is his own coup d'état, and the Jiedu envoy in the north will make various moves.

He also slowly remembered the recruit who asked him to help him avenge six or seven years ago. He still remembers that person's name now, and he was the commander of Li Yun, the Jiedushi of Zhaoyi Army.

It's just that things are not that simple, even for officials, it is difficult to get a commander from a local warlord like Li Yun.

He thought in his heart that Li Yun had to fight, if he jumped up, needless to say, if he didn't jump up, he had to fight too, in order to kill the chicken for the monkey to take the opportunity to eliminate the threat of other Jiedu envoys.

The current Jiedushi are like the heterosexual princes and kings in the early Han Dynasty. They are the local emperors with military power, financial power, and political power. Will be backstabbed, Jiedushi will not obey orders.

If you have to consider whether your soldiers and generals will obey their orders when fighting, the result will definitely be very tragic.

After Shi Congyun's problem in Shu was resolved in the past few days, he had already begun to think about his own path after taking power, and the mutiny was the easiest thing.

The first thing he thought of was to let the local tax revenue be handed over to the central government first, and then the central government distributes it to each Jiedushi, instead of each Jiedushi wanting to withhold as much as he wants, and then give the rest to the central government.

In this way, first of all, the economic power of the Jiedushi can be deprived, and their military capabilities can be limited, and the next thing can be done easily.

But this kind of move is definitely for the sake of the fundamental interests. Once it is implemented, there will be a group of people. It is necessary to prepare for force, and there must be a strategy.

He thought about it for several days, sometimes when he was explaining things outside the city, and sometimes when he was communicating with Fei Shi in depth, the best way after thinking about it was to kill the chicken for the monkey to see.

Kill a chicken first, frighten all the monkeys, and then implement it, as far as possible without military conflicts.

With his current military strength, not to mention [-]% certainty, at least [-]% can beat all the Jiedu envoys with heavy troops in the frontiers to the ground, but that won't work.

Because this will cause the country to fall into internal friction, and the national power accumulated with great difficulty will be wasted. Outside the Northern Han Dynasty, Liao Kingdom, Southern Han Dynasty, Southern Tang Dynasty, Jingnan Army, Wu Yue, etc. are still watching.

The best way is to solve this matter with the least possible cost, mainly through political means and supplemented by military means.

And this matter is imminent, more important than the elimination of the separatist regime, or some Jiedushi are already separatist regimes in essence, but they still submit to the court in name.

When he came back to his senses, the rain outside was still pattering, and there were lightning and thunder from time to time.

Fei's cheeks were flushed, he lowered his head and dared not look at him.

"Tie up your hair and go to the window. I'll grab your hair." Shi Congyun said without a doubt. At the age of 27 or [-], Fei's skin was as ice as jade and incredibly white, but his hair was thick and black as black. The waterfall forms a strange visual impact.

Every time he watched it, he made a comeback and couldn't stop.

So I often like to go back to the warm home.

Fei's pitiful: "Then...then don't scold me..."

"What's wrong with me scolding you? I didn't scold you for the people of the country. Come over quickly." He was not so polite to Fei's Shi Congyun.

The Crystal Palace that was built for her, and the hibiscus that was planted all over Chengdu for her were all a waste of time and money, and they were all the blood and sweat of the people in Shu!What's wrong with him scolding for the common people.

Fei's face was aggrieved, but he did as he ordered.

........

At noon the next day, Shi Congyun met Cao Bin in the big tent outside the city and asked him to sit down.

Cao Bin was not a few years older than him, and he was very young in the army. His impression was that he had always been cautious and kept a low profile.

.......

Cao Bin was very nervous, especially when he was notified by his own soldiers that the commander asked him to meet alone in the big tent.

The nervousness and fear are not without reason, just because of his own identity.

He is a relative of the emperor. Speaking of which, the deceased official Guo Rong is his cousin, and his aunt Zhang is the concubine of Guo Wei, the founding king of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Because of this, even though he participated in the meeting that day and signed a pledge to express his support for the marshal's mutiny, his identity was still disturbing.

It is also because he is well aware of the uniqueness of his identity, so he has been cautious since he was a child, he is cautious in doing things, and he is usually solemn, trying not to let people find any faults.

Because he has read a lot of poetry and books, he knows that since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the imperial power has changed, and the artifacts have been exchanged more frequently. If he is a foreign relative, he is still arrogant and domineering, leaving many handles. die.

He knew in his heart that the commander-in-chief was a good man, so he probably wouldn't make things difficult for him. He had served beside the local Jiedu since he was a child. Later, because he was a relative of the emperor, he was sent by the government to supervise the army. He served under many Jiedu envoys. As for the matter, after more experience, he felt that the commander-in-chief was different from the warlords and generals he had seen before.

From his point of view, the King of Qin seems to have shortcomings everywhere, such as immorality, greed for beauty, love to curse, love to lie, fear of death and so on.

But doing things has three advantages.

One is to be willing to fight; usually the commander-in-chief looks very cautious and timid, and he is a life-saving person, but when the matter comes to a head, he can grit his teeth and fight hard.

The second is to look at things in the long term; many things others only think about the present, the commander always thinks far ahead, especially in battle, including how he and many generals under his command think about how to win the current battle, The commander-in-chief seems to always think about how to win the war completely, which is also an important reason why everyone is willing to fight with the commander-in-chief.

The third is also the most important thing for him personally, he cares about the world; the commander is sometimes cruel, sometimes kind, when he is cruel, he can slaughter surrendered soldiers in the battle, he can order the massacre of tens of thousands of surrendered troops, and when he is kind, he can protect the people He did not hesitate to kill people to rectify the military law, and distributed military rations to ordinary people.So many generals don't understand.

Cao Bin is a smart man, he has his own judgment in his heart, what King Qin did was not to draw a line between good and evil, kindness or cruelty, but purposeful.

Everything is for the unification of the world. As long as it is conducive to the unification of the world, the commander will dare to kill or release people, save people or harm people, and he will never be soft.

It is these things that have always made him willing to follow King Qin, who he regards as his idol and master.

It's just that it's hard to get things right now.

If King Qin ascended the throne in a mutiny, he would be old and expensive, and it would be rare to be reused.

Of course, with King Qin's style, he felt that he didn't have to worry about being rich. At least Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin enjoyed wealth even though they were deprived of military power. Even the Queen Mother Qin was not prepared to kill him.

But he doesn't just think about being rich...

After stepping heavily into the big tent to salute, the marshal motioned him to sit down.
