Xiao Chunyu accompanied Zhu Zhi and his entourage on horseback and rode up a hill.
Although Zhu Zhi is in charge of liaison matters with Xiyan County, he has been staying in Jiuli before, responsible for continuously widening the Qiongxia Mountain Road and ensuring that hundreds of thousands of stones of materials can enter and exit Qionglai Mountain every year. This is his first time.
For the first time, I officially went deep into the plateau. I took the water bag from the attendant and took two sips. I panted slightly and said to Xiao Chunyu.
"This hill doesn't look very high, but it only took us a stick of incense to get here on horseback. There weren't many bumps on the road, but it was more tiring than climbing the dangerous mountain for half an hour in Jiuli——
It’s hard to imagine how much hardship the nobles suffered when they moved south from Qinzhou!”
When the Red Husbands annexed Yunshuo and passed through Yanmen Pass and headed south, Zhu Zhi was in his early twenties, while Xiao Chunyu and his brother Xiao Chunquan were only fourteen or fifteen years old. With a snap of a finger, Xiao Chunyu already had a thick short mustache on his lips.
A dark-skinned young man in his thirties.
Looking back on the hardships he has experienced over the years, Xiao Chunyu has long since learned to deal with it calmly and said with a smile
"The most difficult days have passed, and people must always look forward! In front of us is the Dege family's seminary in Gongga Mountain. My father temporarily arranged a troop of soldiers and horses to block the passage connecting the seminary to the outside world!"
Zhu Zhi turned around and looked over, and saw that the monastery of Buqu Temple at the eastern foot of Gongga Mountain was a collection of earth-yellow buildings. Under the sunlight, the rows of rows of roofs shone brightly.
There is a dirt road connecting from the scholastic courtyard, like a gray-white ribbon winding in the barren mountains without vegetation. The dirt road extends through a narrow valley to the bottom of the valley, and then turns north along the stream.
.????
After the defeat, most of the Tibetan cavalry retreated to the Gongga Pass in the north. At this time, in addition to the guru sent by the Dege family and more than a hundred monks, there were only 300 monk soldiers stationed in the scholastic academy.
Of course, Xiao Linshi did not need to station all 6,000 cavalrymen in the mountains in order to besiege 300 monk soldiers and more than 100 monks.
At present, except for a battalion of elite troops stationed at the valley outside the temple to block the connection between the temple and the outside world, the army is mainly stationed outside the valley.
It was originally the home of a local tribal leader. After the tribe expressed its surrender, Xiao Linshi directly expropriated this stone village covering an area of only 40 to 50 acres and planned to build a formal stone village on the basis of this stone village.
The city officially established its rule over the vast area at the eastern foot of Mount Gongga.
These are all things that have been planned for a long time.
The Sikong Prefecture also named this city that had not yet been built and had not even been sited before named Fuqiang City to indicate that the area east of Gongga Mountain had been the habitat of the Qiang people who had been ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty since ancient times.
Next, the Sikong Prefecture will encourage the Qiang and Yi people who have fled Qionglai and other mountains for hundreds of years since the rise of Tubo to move out and settle near Gongga Mountain.
Zhu Zhi came from Lizhou to govern Jiuli. In addition to personally escorting a new batch of prisoners of war to bear various hard labor, he returned to Xiangyang in July to report on his duties in Biyang. He also officially served as the governor of Lizhou and also served as the envoy to the Western Qiang.
He will be fully responsible for the recruitment of various separatist forces, including the Dege family, in the Semogan, Muyaragang and other six areas.
If the separatist forces such as the Buqu Temple and the Dege family finally choose to surrender, they will naturally surrender to the empire and the Sikong Mansion, which represents the imperial court at this time, rather than to the Xiyan Commandery.
Although Xiao Linshi could be asked to do the recruiting on his behalf, Zhou He, Gu Fan, Shi Zhen, Han Gui and others thought over and over again and still advocated that it would be better for the Sikong Mansion, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military affairs and recruiting affairs, to formally send envoys to do the recruiting.
——Zhu Zhi just combined this task.
In addition, Zhao Shan, Liu Fujin, Lu Jing, Wei Tong and other generals led 2,000 soldiers into the plateau, not just to reinforce the remnants of the Khitan, but also to officially represent the Sikong Mansion in the battle against Buqu Temple and other Tibetan separatist forces.
After the Fuqiang City at the mouth of the river valley was built, in addition to arranging a small number of soldiers and horses to be stationed in Fuqiang City, they would also build buildings and dispatch supervisory officials to represent the empire's rule over the Xiyan County.
This was something that was determined when Xiyan County was first enshrined.
Although some people within the Khitan were dissatisfied with this arrangement at first, in the past two or three years, as the exchanges and contacts between the remnants of the Khitan and Beijing and Xiangzhou became closer, and as the Sikong Mansion, regardless of the cost, the Khitan people did not dare to do so in the past,
After the imaginary good armor and war weapons were transported to the west of Qionglai Mountain, these dissatisfactions gradually subsided.
What's more, the Sikong Mansion had just won a crucial victory against the Chihu people in Yingzhou, which basically made it clear that the recovery of the entire plain area had entered the Sikong Mansion's schedule.
Relying on a powerful imperial dynasty, surviving in the thousands of miles between Qionglai Mountain and Gongga Mountain, inhabiting and multiplying, without having to worry about the annihilation of the tribe, it is not as bad as the hundreds of thousands of Khitan people who have been displaced over the years.
Come to a good ending.
Xiao Chunyu accompanied Zhu Zhi to the top of the hill and looked at the topography outside Fuqiang City. After taking a short rest, he galloped down the hill again, met up with the large group of people, and continued towards the main camp of Fuqiang City.
We could see the Buqu Monastery and the Fuqiang City Camp when we climbed up the mountain in the morning, but in the end we hurried slowly and hurriedly, and we didn’t arrive at the Fuqiang City Camp at the mouth of the valley until dusk.
In addition to the main force of 4,000 cavalry from Xiyan County and reinforcements from Lizhou, there are also more than 2,000 hard laborers who accompanied the army on the expedition. They are mainly prisoners of war sent over in the past and the families of criminal officials who fled to the border areas after the escape from Beijing.
Small.
The Fuqiang City camp, the early stage of the camp and the subsequent construction of the city all required these hard labors - of course, Sikong Mansion would continue to exile more prisoners of war in the future.
Although the cost of deporting tens of thousands of prisoners of war to the west of Qionglai Mountain is huge, and it is far less economical than leaving the prisoners of war in Hehuai to open up wasteland and cultivate land, whether the foundation of Fuqiang City can be laid solidly will not only involve the future treatment of Tubo tribes.
In order to conquer and prevent the Tubo tribes from turning against the Chihu people, the Sikong Mansion has long been considering the possibility of sending a partial army from Fuqiang City in the future, passing through the road south of the remaining Khitan troops, and directly intersecting the Hehuang area to disintegrate the Chihu people.
Rule over the Hexi region.
In the past, these were some of the strategic ideas made by the Sikong Mansion, but after the great victory in Yingzhou, who dares to say that these strategic ideas are unrealistic and out of reach?
In fact, Zhu Zhi returned to Qionglai Mountain from Biyang this time, and then went west to the plateau in person. In addition to recruiting negotiations, he also secretly discussed with Xiao Linshi and others the feasibility of sending troops northward from Fuqiang City in the future.
Discuss what preparations need to be made in the early stages.
When Zhu Zhi thought of this, a sense of pride grew in her chest.
After a while, the guards around him blocked him intentionally or unintentionally, and he noticed a group of hard laborers passing by. One of them was looking at him, which aroused the vigilance of the guards around him.
After the Escape from Beijing Incident, thousands of criminals whose families were hiding in the imperial family were exiled from Jianye to the west of Qionglai Mountain.
Zhu Zhi was in charge in Jiuli, and his main job for a long time was to minimize the injuries and deaths of these prisoners on the way.
Therefore, someone in the hard labor recognized him, and Zhu Zhi didn't think it was strange. He waved his hand and signaled the guards not to be too nervous. Accompanied by Xiao Chunyu and others, he walked towards the gate of the camp for a while, and then he suddenly remembered that shirt
A ragged, skinny hard laborer, but Zhang Xin’s eldest son Zhang Jin.
Zhu Zhi stopped and asked uncertainly, "Brother Zhang Jin?"
When Zhang Jin saw that Zhu Zhi finally recognized him, he almost cried. He mumbled, "I thought you couldn't recognize me. I, I just suddenly saw an old friend and said hello - I almost forgot."
The scenery of the motherland is beautiful..."
At that time, the remnants of the Khitan wanted to evacuate from Qinzhou to the hinterland of Western Qin or Western Shu but failed to do so. In addition to Gao Junyang's firm refusal, Emperor Shaolong and the Qiandi clique suspected that they had close relations with Jingxiang, which was also a key factor.
For this reason, the remnant Khitan army paid a heavy price of sacrificing more than half of the old, weak, women and children, and crossed the Tubo Highlands before settling at the western foot of Qionglai Mountain.
How could Xiao Chunyu and the others give preferential treatment to the thousands of criminals who were exiled after the escape from Beijing?
Although Qian Shangduan and Zhang Xin had some connections with Jingxiang and were former ministers of the late emperor, their treatment was slightly better. At least this time they stayed in the furnace city built by the remnants of the Khitan at the western foot of Qionglai Mountain and did not join the military expedition.
The children of the two families did not receive such good treatment. This time, as long as the young men were strong, they were basically conscripted into hard labor in the army.
This is also the most arduous, brutal and fatal type of hard labor among many. The hard laborers who stayed in Furnace City survived the hardships of building the city and fortification in the first two years. Now they only need to engage in farming, herding and working, at least they don't have to vomit blood from exhaustion.
Working hard in the army, especially in high and cold places, where you don't have enough to eat, sleep in crowded and dirty camps, cut mountains and stones, dig soil and cut trees. If you are not careful, you will fall down on the construction site and may never get up again.
Looking at Zhang Jin's skinny appearance, it was almost impossible to tell what his original appearance was. Zhu Zhi naturally knew what was going on and didn't say much. He just cupped his hands and said, "After I pay homage to Prince Xiao, I will come back to Brother Zhang to reminisce about the past!"
"
Zhang Jin only thought that Zhu Zhi said this because he didn't want to appear too ruthless and cold-blooded in front of his subordinates, but he didn't take Zhu Zhi's words seriously, nor did he think that given Zhu Zhi's status at this time, Zhu Zhi was in Sikong Mansion at this time.
To the extent that they are favored and trusted, they can really sympathize with their hardships and hardships in Fuqiang City.
However, I thought so, but I couldn't help but feel hopeful.
Zhang Jin also knew very well that with Zhu Zhi's status, as long as he helped the Xiao family speak a word, their situation in Fuqiang City would be very different.
However, when Zhang Jin returned to the hard labor camp, he did not see anyone sent by Zhu Zhi to look for him until the evening of the next day. He thought that the delusion was just a delusion after all.
Just when he was completely disappointed, it was Lu Jing who came to him personally and invited him to go to the hotel where Zhu Zhi was staying.
Lu Jing was the son of Lu Wenhu. He followed Zhu Zhi to Lizhou a few years ago and entered Qionglai Mountain to build the Sihu Hall.
After the Second Battle of Huainan, the imperial court officially changed Lizhou from Jixi Prefecture to Jingzhi Prefecture, established a prefectural government to govern Hanyuan, Qingxi, Ebian counties, and Eleven Walled City, with Zhu Zhi as the prefect, and Zhao Shan
He was the Supervisor of the Military and Horse Command and the commander of the soldiers and joined the army.
At that time, in addition to the more than a thousand elite soldiers of the Tianxiong Army led by Generals Liu Fujin and Wei Tong in Lizhou, Zhao Shan also recruited soldiers from the Qiang and Yi tribes in Qionglai Mountain in the name of the State Military and Horse Supervisor Division;
Zhu Zhi recommended Lu Jing to assist Zhao Shan in training Fan soldiers.
Three years of training for the Fan Army were successful. During this period, Lu Jing went to Biyang High Military Command School for half a year. When he returned to Lizhou, the Sikong Mansion decided to expand the recruitment of Fan soldiers and appointed Liu Fujin as the Commander of the Lizhou Fan Camp. Lu Jing
Served as deputy capital commander.
Zhao Shan commanded the three generals Liu Fujin, Lu Jing and Wei Tong to cooperate with the main force of Khitan infantry and cavalry to fight east of Gongga Mountain. Of course Lu Jing knew that Zhang Jin was in the hard labor force, but he pretended not to know.
In the past, in Xiangyang and Jianye, Zhang Jin, a disciple of the Zhu family who was deeply favored by the emperor and focused on a bright future, never paid attention to him. How could Lu Jing take extra care of Zhang Jin at this time?
It was quite polite that I didn't step on him.
However, now that Zhu Zhi wants to see Zhang Jin, Lu Jing will not neglect him.
…………
…………
No matter how crude the Fuqiang City camp was, the post house arranged by Xiao Linshi for Zhu Zhi was not bad either. It was a wooden building with a separate yard located in Shizhai by the former tribal leader.
Lu Jing walked in with Zhang Jin who had just washed up. Zhao Shan and Xiao Chunyu were getting up and leaving Zhu Zhi's residence. They glanced at Zhang Jin and said nothing.
"Brother Zhang Shi, sit down. You passed by Hanyuan two years ago. At that time, you were busy with business, and I didn't entertain you and Uncle Shi well. I didn't want to meet you again in Fuqiang City after two years of separation." Zhu Zhi greeted Zhang Jin.
He sat down and motioned to Lu Jing, who was still used to standing by, to sit down and talk with him, leaving the tea service to the handyman.
Zhang Jin sat cautiously behind the first desk, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Wang Boqian, Jin Zhuangchen, Luo Nanguang and other rebels were afraid of losing power, so they kidnapped His Majesty from the capital and fled to Runzhou, seeking to establish a new court. Uncle Shi was so confused that he did not realize the sinister intentions of Wang Jin and others. He was involved in this incident
Among them, the disaster of being defeated and charged eventually made it difficult for Zhang Shixiong, his wife and children to escape and migrate to this bitter and cold place. Zhang Shixiong must have been full of resentment in the past two years, right?" Zhu Zhi stared at Zhang Jin with burning eyes.
eyes, asked.
"My father was involved in it at the time and was deeply deceived. He had no intention of harming Beijing and Xiangzhou. However, he made a big mistake and fled to Tibet. He brought it on himself and had no intention of complaining." After hearing Zhu Zhi's unkind words, Zhang Jin was shocked.
Thinking that the Sikong Mansion was still worried about them after all, he turned pale with fright and quickly defended.
"Really? However, I heard that some people were exiled to Furnace City and spoke ill of the Sikong Mansion overtly and covertly, even to the point of blatantly speaking." Zhu Zhi said in a deep voice.
"..." The late autumn on the plateau was already quite chilly. At this moment, Zhang Jin was dripping with sweat down his back. He knelt down and sat down at the desk and said, "When I first set foot in a bitter cold land, I suffered from hunger and disease, and some died of hunger in the wilderness.
After all, it is inevitable that some complaints will be spread out, but after the past two years of hard labor, the initial impatience and resentment have long been wiped away, and what is left is only regret for the major sins committed in the past..."
"Okay, stop covering up for others,"
Zhu Zhi waved her hand and said,
"However, speaking of which, you should be resentful. The late emperor treated your Zhang family so well. When the late emperor died of illness, he still wanted to expel the barbarians and regain the Central Plains. But in the years after the late emperor passed away, what did your Zhang family do to regain the Central Plains?
You should be resentful that traitors like Wang and Jin deceived your father's aspirations. You should be resentful that you didn't die on the battlefield in an upright manner. You should be resentful that you couldn't die for the country uprightly, but you were reduced to this situation. In the end, you can only
He died in silence due to hunger and cold! Do you still remember that when the late emperor moved the capital to Ye, you could not bear to see the children of aristocratic families forgetting the hatred of the country and the family and spending all day in the building to drink and have fun with prostitutes. You once drew your sword and cut off the friendship with them.
He said that a man should join the army and fight for the country, and wrap his body in horse leather, in order to seek fame for all generations, rather than for the enjoyment of one life? It’s not that you have forgotten all these without the past few years. What makes you forget these, you really have nothing in your heart
Resentment?"
After Zhang Jin sat down at the case in bewilderment, he recalled the heroic words of his youth, and his face was filled with shame, and he did not dare to look up at Zhu Zhi, who had a stern voice.
"Zhang Jin, please raise your head. I don't mean to humiliate you by saying these words."
Zhu Zhi said in a deep voice,
"Before I came to Fuqiang City, I went to Biyang to see the envoy. The complaints you said in Lucheng have long been spread to Sikong Mansion, and you can't imagine who will report these things you said in secret.
Yousi, according to the truth, the Prime Minister should not care about your life and death. You are responsible for everything. However, the Prime Minister never forgets old feelings. When I say goodbye, I have to carefully screen them. If there are indeed those who have reformed their past mistakes, you can do it appropriately.
It's a pity that I understand that there are not many people who have completely changed their past, and I can't betray the trust of the envoy and pretend to forgive those who are resentful. No matter how much you say, I won't believe it.
, I can only give you a chance now. The camp will recruit some soldiers from the exiled prisoners. After recruiting, you can be forgiven of old sins and serve in the army as civilians. If you are willing, I can give you a place!"
"I am willing to join the army and fight!" Zhang Jin cried with tears streaming down his face and knelt down on the ground. "I would rather die on the battlefield as a citizen of Dai Viet than die silently as a prisoner in this bitter cold land!"
Xu Huai hopes that the future Xiyan County will be a place where Han and Chinese people live together. Not only will the Khitan, Qiang and Yi and even Tubo people live here, but there should also be a large number of Han people reproducing here. Only in the future can it be possible to ensure that Gongga Mountain
The more cold and dangerous places to the west are gradually integrated into the empire. However, the climate between Gongga Mountain and Qionglai Mountain is only as mild as that of the alpine and cold places to the west of Gongga Mountain. Compared with the Central Plains, the environment is still too harsh.
Well, under normal circumstances, it is impossible for anyone to be willing to move here. So where did the Han people in Fuqiang, Lucheng and other places come from? If the prisoners of exile and hard labor are never pardoned, won't the Han people in these places always be inferior to others?
One head?
Another thing is that if Lucheng and Fuqiang City are to develop, most of the thousands of exiled prisoners must be able to read and write, so they cannot be completely eliminated.
Of course, all prisoners must be pardoned and employed without screening.
That won't make them feel grateful, or even make them more resentful. Instead, it will become a hidden danger to the Sikong Mansion in the future.
Except for Xiyan County, Zhu Zhi is the main person in charge of Sikong Mansion in the southwest. He has the right to specialize in these matters. However, after discussing with Xiao Linshi, Zhao Shan and others, they felt that Wang Boqian, Jin Zhuangchen and others who had been executed were the direct heirs.
Still cannot forgive at will, but should be used as a model to serve as a warning to others.
However, implicated descendants, relatives and friends can now be exempted from hard labor.
The great victory in Yingzhou resulted in a huge prisoner collection. There was a steady stream of prisoners of war that could be sent over to serve as hard labor, and there was no need to worry about having no one to do arduous and heavy physical labor.
However, Qian Shangduan, Zhang Xin and their young family are causing headaches for the Sikong Mansion.
On the one hand, they were former ministers of the late emperor. Even though Qian Shangduan had secretly defected to King Huai a long time ago, Emperor Jianji did not punish him severely when he was still alive. On the other hand, they did have various connections with the Jingxiang family. Sikong Mansion
Don't be too mean or unkind.
After the incident of escaping from Beijing, Wang Boqian, Jin Zhuangchen, Luo Nanguang and others were all sentenced to death. In the end, Qian Shangduan was given to Qian Shangduan. Zhang Xin and Zhang Xin were spared, but they were sentenced to death for being deceived and blindly following.
Of course, if there is any difference between Qian Shangduan and Zhang Xin, it is that Qian Shangduan had deliberately sought refuge with King Huai very early on. After Emperor Shaolong ascended the throne, he was also a core member of the Qiandi family and actively worked for Emperor Shaolong and his family.
Qian Di planned to deal with Jing and Xiang.
Zhang Xin was actually a bit mediocre and did not have a strong ability to discern situations. Emperor Jianji was very loyal when he was there. When Emperor Shaolong came to the throne, he felt that Emperor Shaolong did not kick him aside and made him serve as the imperial envoy.
He felt that Emperor Shaolong was very kind to him, and did not think that other former emperor's old ministers would be expelled from the center one by one. In the end, he participated in the escape from the capital by accident.
Therefore, Qian Shangduan and his family, Zhu Zhi, decided not to pardon them. Even if they would not be tortured with hard labor, they would be ordered to live in the furnace city as exiles until their old age.
Zhu Zhi had the exclusive power to pardon Zhang Xin and his family as appropriate. However, considering Zhang Xin's great influence in the Jingsheng Army, Zhang Jin also served as a general in the Suwei Army, and later in the Imperial City.
Si Renshi is on duty in the palace. If he cannot calm down the resentment in their hearts, even if he is not afraid of how much harm they will cause, it is Zhu Zhi who did it improperly and not beautifully - even if Zhu Zhi knew that Xu Huai still thought about it.
It would be okay to show some mercy to Zhang Xin and his son, even as long as Zhang Xin bows his head and admits his mistake, takes Zhang Xin and his son back to Xiangyang, and has Biyang re-appointed.
After much thought, Zhu Zhi decided to let Zhang Jin serve as a soldier in the Fan camp as a civilian and observe for a year or two before talking about anything else...
Don’t you have any resentment?”
After Zhang Jin sat down at the case in bewilderment, he recalled the heroic words of his youth, and his face was filled with shame, and he did not dare to look up at Zhu Zhi, who had a stern voice.
"Zhang Jin, please raise your head. I don't mean to humiliate you by saying these words."
Zhu Zhi said in a deep voice,
