Zhao Guan's family led a group of people towards the river embankment in a mighty manner. The afternoon sun made the river surface sparkle with golden light. From a distance, they could see a few people not standing on the river embankment, but making gestures on the tidal flat and saying, "The leader
They were none other than Zhao Zichen and Xiao En, the commander of the Yuying navy.
The most complicated moment for the senses was not the Zhao Guan family, but Yang Yizhong who never said much. As the direct commander of the imperial class, his only successful achievement should be the Yanggu-Wushan battle that year.
At that time, he cooperated with Xiao Tongzhi, who he considered to be an "unchanging thief".
How should I put it? After so many years, although it is difficult to get close to each other due to his position, Xiao En's appearance is really impressive and will not be forgotten for many years. Youdao has a dark and red complexion, a short and stocky figure, and he is above the water at first glance.
A poor man struggling to make a living, wearing a county magistrate's green robe and a stiff-winged futu, but only wearing a hemp rope around his waist. He strode forward, revealing a pair of open-toed hemp shoes, and his subordinate Zhai Biao's harsh words made him look like a poor man.
Like a wild duck that has landed on the shore, it waddles over.
Looking at it after seven or eight years, although this Xiao Tongzhi is still somewhat different from ordinary civil servants and generals, the vicissitudes of life are more serious after all. I heard that he suffered a serious injury in the Battle of Yuancheng. Zhang Rong had already
I said hello to him that he would be transferred to a civil service, and I especially begged him, saying that he was too reckless back then and had too many control officials. In fact, this old Xiao was very capable, so I asked the officials to pay more attention to him.
This thought only took a moment, and then he listened to the officials listening to the differences in hydrology, irrigation efficiency and flood conditions between Hebei and Henan. In fact, the lower reaches of the Yellow River should have five branches, etc. He seemed to be listening with great interest, but Yang
Yizhong dared to rely on his instinct of being with him for eleven years to guarantee that this person must be pretending. It’s just that he has been an official for a long time, and with the continuous blessing of victory and power over the years, for those who don’t know, he thought Zhao Jiuzhen knew this.
Woolen cloth.
However, although he does not understand these, he understands one principle, that is, "Everyone knows that the Yellow River is overflowing and the river is blocked, but who of you has a practical solution? Let me first make it clear that the Yellow River stretches for thousands of miles and is the mother river of Chinese civilization.
, is of vital importance. As long as it can benefit the people, I will not begrudge money, manpower, or officials."
The people around looked at each other in confusion and did not dare to answer first. In the end, it was Zhao Zichen who spoke first: "Officials and ministers have observed that the control of the Yellow River in the past dynasties was nothing more than working on rivers and dams. However, looking at it on the ground, they feel that the bigger problem lies in the mud.
There is too much sand. As for how to solve it? I really can’t answer it now. Please allow me to hear the news from the sailors and old farmers these days, do some research, and then give a reply."
Zhao Guan's family also knew that expecting someone to come up with an effective plan to regulate the Yellow River on the first day would be a dream. If such a person really existed, he would have to be sent to the Imperial Hospital to see if he had any mental problems, so he was not disappointed and continued to pretend to ask.
After a few words, he took advantage of the warm winter sun in the afternoon and turned to the river. Then he took a few attachés and Zhang Rong and others to board the embankment, inspected the embankment and fortifications again, and asked some questions about the military situation as usual - although
There is really no war anymore, but military power is still necessary.
I have to say here that the Yuying Navy has a special origin, that is, this army was originally a peasant army organized by Zhang Rong, with its own internal system. It may have been semi-independent during the war, but when it comes to disarmament,
On the contrary, it is easier to handle - thanks to Zhang Rong, many low-level officers under him voluntarily returned to their hometowns after knowing that they could retain their honorary positions (loose officials in the Song Dynasty and were paid salaries) and divide the land, and many of them were elderly.
He simply became a garrison commander and settled on both sides of the Yellow River. Therefore, the navy was reduced from 15,000 to 10,000, but there were relatively few problems. Wu Jie of the Imperial Rear Army probably cried when he saw it.
However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. The performance of the imperial navy officers who transferred to become local officials is definitely the lowest among all the armies (the Li Bao Department of the Navy did not participate in this transfer). The literacy rate of each of them is just low.
He has his own set of Liangshanbo values. For example, if you want him to be a county captain, whenever there is a lawsuit between two families, no matter the district, the rich will lose and the poor will win.
As far as Yang Yizhong knows, in just a few months, in Wuqing County alone, many wealthy households have gone bankrupt, and many middle-class families have been squeezed out by market scoundrels who took away half of their family property, seriously affecting the county's security and food distribution. Other counties
Ling Yue Fan almost got into a fight with one of his subordinates, the former commander of the Yuying Navy, nicknamed Lao Wu, and the county lieutenant of Wuqing County. The lawsuit was brought to Lu Dayin of Daming Prefecture. Yue Fei and Zhang Rong were at risk of life and death.
They were all embarrassed and each wrote a letter to reprimand him. This is why Zhang Rong was cautious when applying for a civil service job for a great hero like Xiao En.
In the evening, Liu Yan was on duty to guard the imperial chariot. Yang Yizhong gave a few explanations and ordered his men to buy two pots of liquor named "Hengshui Laobaigan" by the officials, and went to Xiao En's residence, which shocked him.
But after all, we have experienced life and death together, and he quickly smiled and said: "I heard that you bird officials don't all want to pay homage or something. How can you go to people's houses at night to scare people? Thanks to my mother-in-law's absence,
Otherwise, it will scare her."
Yang Yizhong had his own way of treating anyone. He put down the wine and said, "If I do this, you, Commander Xiao, won't be bored to death. But you, since you also want to be a bird official, you have to learn from it."
Follow the rules, otherwise things like that in Yanggu will happen again. Now that the world is at peace, even though the officials treat the soldiers favorably, they cannot agree to it."
Naturally, this was talking about how Xiao En was saved by someone instead of letting the imperial squad go straight into the city. A good man blushed a little when he mentioned it. Fortunately, he had a red face himself. He just said: "I know, King Lu often said that
The official is a loyal person, and it is our navy that always causes trouble for him, but I don’t hide it from Brother Yang. The official position given to me by the official this time... I think it is a good fit for me, and I will definitely do a good job."
Even Yang Yizhong couldn't help but wonder, "What position?"
Xiao En took a sip of wine, invited him to sit down, and said: "Call the censor of the river patrol. The officials have said that I am a person who makes a living on the water, so I must know more than others. It costs a lot of money to manage the Yellow River, so I just keep an eye on it."
Birds... those officials, whoever dares to take bribes and perfunctory the fortifications or beat and scold the civilians will be in charge."
Yang Yizhong:..........
The official is worthy of you.
However, Xiao En has been mixed up so far, and he is still a bright-faced person with a rough heart and a fine heart. After a few sips of wine, he said: "Okay, Xiao Yang, you have always been careful and don't interact much. What's going on here today?"
Let’s talk first, if you come to trick Brother Zhang... Prince Lu, don’t blame me for being unkind."

When creating "Emperor Jianyan", the most difficult thing for me was actually the portrayal of Yang Yizhong, the king of Jingsai County. First of all, as the number one minister in Tianzi, he is definitely irreplaceable.
As the leader of the Royal Forest Army who had served Song Shizu for more than thirty years, he was undoubtedly extremely trusted by Shizu. Judging from Shizu's own martial arts skills and ability to recognize people, he would definitely not be a treacherous minister.
"Speaking of Han", "Secret History of the Song and Jin Dynasties" and other romance novels or various dramas, he appears as a typical villain. Various documents show that during the Jianyan period, "please kill Yang Yizhong" appeared in almost most civil servants
In the memorial, this made me embarrassed, how to portray such a historical figure in a way that is both serious and relevant to the theme.
Later, I combined the low self-esteem of the generals who had been suppressed for many years at the turn of the Song Dynasty and Yang Yizhong's experience in later taking charge of the Imperial City Department. I wondered whether this was due to the courtiers' natural sensitivity to the secret service, and besides the fact that Shizu was recognized as a wise emperor in history.
He was also a rather willful person. Throughout history, no emperor could be found who dared to cross the river to see Zhang Jun on a snowy night when life and death were on the line. Although this is very touching to our current audience, it scared the courtiers to death at the time.
, one cannot criticize an emperor too much, so an emperor like Yang Yizhong will inevitably be regarded as a target. I adhere to this idea when creating.
