There are one hill and eight buildings in the Northern Prefecture of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chapter 5069 Taoist temple is also an intelligence station
Chapter 5069 Taoist temple is also an intelligence station
At this time, the expressions of Mrs. Ding and Zhang Yu also changed. They suddenly realized that this Taoist temple might be something they had ignored all the time. Mrs. Ding was about to speak when she heard a voice coming from one side.
A calm voice: "Don't worry, everyone, I have already cleaned up the Wanshou Temple."
A smile appeared on Zhu Chaoshi's face, and from the grass on one side, a figure in a long Confucian shirt slowly walked out, gently shaking a feather fan in his hand and wearing a turban on his head. Wasn't it Tao Yuanming?
Zhang Yu's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Tao, Tao Gong? You, why are you here?"
Zhu Chaoshi smiled slightly: "When we eliminated Bao Haozi's men, he had already arrived and stayed here all the time. He wanted to listen to our conversation. However, Mr. Tao, you are too condescending. You can obviously come out to discuss with us.
Isn’t it too uncomfortable to just be in the grass like this?”
Tao Yuanming smiled slightly and shook the feather fan in his hand: "I am not one of those aristocratic young masters who are pampered and pampered. I have traveled all over the world, and I have also been to many more difficult places than this. If I had shown up just now, Zhang Changshi and Ding Lao
I'm afraid Taijun can't let go and can't say everything I want to hear. Just like this Taoist temple, if I were here just now, I'm afraid they probably wouldn't have thought of it."
Zhang Yu's face turned slightly red: "I was very rude to Mr. Tao in my words just now. Please forgive Mr. Tao."
Tao Yuanming smiled and waved his hand: "If I were you, I would think so. After all, it is normal for a new official to kill officials and kill generals to establish his authority. Even Marshal Liu defends Jiankang and fights.
Before the war, I also killed the old brother Wei Shunzhi first. And I know that the children of the aristocratic families and the elites of the Wu region, like Zhang Changshi, have always looked down upon me, a Jingzhou poet. This kind of mutual discord
The trust is caused by the long-term antagonism between Jing and Yang, and I once served Huan Xuan. I can completely understand it."
"So this time I will serve under Yu Gong for a while. If I can get along well with Yu Gong, how about asking Zhang Changshi to be my friend in the future?"
Zhang Yu waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare you, how dare you, I, I take back what I just said, I am willing to serve in Yu Gong's shogunate and share some of the pressure for Tao Gong."
Tao Yuanming shook his head: "This is not necessary for the time being. After Nankang is recaptured, we will take the opportunity to capture Jiangzhou. What I will do later is to assist Yu Gong, govern Jiangzhou after the recovery, and prepare for the subsequent deployment of the Jingzhou army.
The thief provides all kinds of support. Zhang Changshi, you have to perform meritorious service to atone for your sins and earn more military merits as you said. It is difficult for me here. I can only follow General Zhu and make meritorious service in the follow-up battle to chase down the demon thief.
Only in this way can you achieve your wish. As for whether there will be a chance for us to work together after the demon thief is defeated, that is another matter."
Zhang Yu was annoyed, laughed awkwardly, and stepped aside. Tao Yuanming looked at Mrs. Ding and said seriously: "Mr. Ding, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. Here in Jiangzhou, even if you are the governor in the future,
It is unlikely that General Yu Yueyu will parachute some descendants from aristocratic families from the imperial court to serve as governors of various counties as he did in the past, because it is obvious that such outsiders do not know the local affairs and events, and do not have enough resources on hand.
Strength can control the situation. In fact, the local power is still in the hands of local powerful people. These county guards often know this and do not intend to live here or serve as officials for a long time, so they just leave after grabbing a handful.
mentality, exploiting local wealthy families here will easily intensify conflicts."
"Instead of doing this, it is better to let local powerful people serve as the governor here. Firstly, they can understand the people's sentiments, and secondly, they can also manage the relationship with other wealthy families. As long as the court can have enough tax revenue and labor here, there will be no losses. As for the future,
According to Marshal Liu's rules, people with outstanding reputations as local officials can also serve as officials in the court. It does not mean that the power in the court has always been occupied by the children of the aristocratic families in Wu, right, General Zhu!"
Zhu Chaoshi curled up his lips and said, "Marshal Liu does have such explicit provisions, but what he said more is that he wants to achieve military merit and gain a title."
Tao Yuanming smiled and said: "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country. If there is a war with foreign countries, then everyone must go to battle to protect the country. Just like Mrs. Ding, if we want to eradicate demons and thieves in the future, then we still have to do it."
I have to let my nephew continue to go out with the army and make great achievements."
Mrs. Ding frowned slightly and said: "I have to explain this to Tao Changshi and Tao Gong. Our Ding family has lived here for generations and is used to it. We don't want to go far away. If the court trusts us, we are willing to ask for it."
We, the Ding family, have the unshirkable responsibility to govern this place, but if we are to do what we did with the Bao family in the past, leaving the Ding family and going on expeditions with the army, not returning for several years, and then settling elsewhere, I think our nephews will be very happy.
It may not be possible, as this is two different things from defending our homeland."
Tao Yuanming's face changed slightly, and he turned to smile and said: "Everyone has his own ambitions, it doesn't matter. As long as he is a local righteous man who wants to join the army to serve the country and go on an expedition away from home, he will have the opportunity to make contributions. If he doesn't want to go far away, just like
If you stay at home and be filial to your parents, you can also contribute in your hometown. However, to destroy the demon thieves is not an expedition to the country, but a major problem that all of us must solve in order to have long-term peace in the future. Otherwise,
If the demon thieves are allowed to run back to Guangzhou, recuperate, and come back to rebel in the future, then the Ding family in Nankang will be the first to bear the brunt."
Mrs. Ding nodded: "This is natural. This time we have a serious feud with the monsters and thieves. We will fight to the death. In order to protect future generations, we must destroy them. Tao Changshi, what do you think of that Taoist temple?
, is it the local spy of the demon thief? Have you already solved it?"
Tao Yuanming said calmly: "This is only possible with the help of some of the sentinels in the Jiangzhou Army before Yu Yue, as well as Liu Pushe's local informants. The demon thief is actually worried about the Bao brothers, but he can't
There is not much power to supervise them, and it was Bao Haozi who personally wrote a letter requesting the withdrawal of the senior brother, so they could only withdraw the local Tianshi Tao army openly, but left an informant in the form of a Taoist temple."
"This is also an intelligence site for the areas behind Tianshi Dao, which is independent of the puppet government in various places. Some important military information exchanges with Guangzhou are also realized through these Taoist temples, not through the government post station. In the past two years, Bao
Every move Haozi made was in the eyes of the incense master of the Taoist temple, Mu Songzi, and he reported it to Lu Xun. Once Bao Haozi betrayed the demon thief and returned to the Jin Dynasty, they would immediately summon several nearby people.
The military strength of the county will destroy it." (End of this chapter)
