Chapter 818: Xiang Liang Zhiyu, Returning to Tongchuan
Chapter 818: Xiang Liangzhiyu, return to Tongchuan
Shen Tang nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, then I'll give it a try, General!"
"I will finally retire!"
After Shiying left, Xiang Liang smiled and said, "This Shiying is actually a smart man! I have heard of his name before, and it is said that he is also a brave man. However, he is the same as Tongchuan Mansion Road." To appease Meng Fanhui, it is his luck that he can be transferred to Chengdu Mansion to follow the Marquis this time!"
Shen Tang smiled and did not respond. He naturally had his own ideas about how Shiying should be used.
"It has been some time since Mr. Xiang came to Jiading Mansion. I wonder what Mr. Xiang thinks of this road in Chengdu Mansion?"
Shen Tang asked with a smile.
Xiang Liang looked solemn when he heard this! After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'm a lowly official and I'm talking nonsense. Lord Marquis, just listen to it!"
"As far as Jiading Prefecture is concerned, after months of war, it is extremely difficult for the people to survive! And the people's hearts are unstable! Although the court has also allocated money and food, it is only a drop in the bucket. It is not easy to survive this cold winter! Secondly, there are also people in Jiading Prefecture. Some local tribes, although these tribes have become much more stable after being intimidated by the Marquis, it is extremely difficult to get them to completely submit to the imperial court!"
"Thirdly, Chengdu Fulu has always had outstanding people, just like this small Ziyun City, there are all ministers who have become officials.
This glimpse reveals the whole leopard! Although many local wealthy families were destroyed in the previous wars, these people's ability to survive is much stronger than that of the common people.
In fact, many wealthy families not only did not decline due to the war, but took advantage of this opportunity to become better than before!"
"Fourthly, the Chengdu Prefecture Road is far away from the Lin'an Mountain High Road. The chief officials of these prefectures and counties sit on one side, making it difficult for ordinary people to redress their grievances. In addition, the local tribes are mixed together, making the people awe and even hostile to the government. They want to change this It’s not easy at all!”
"As for the last thing, the flooding is serious! The weather this year has been abnormal, and it has been rainy recently! Our water system in Chengdu is extremely developed, but the embankments everywhere are extremely old! If a danger occurs, it will be even worse!"
After pausing for a moment, Xiang Liang looked at Shen Tang hesitantly, and then said softly, "If the Marquis only wants stability, he only needs to stick to the old ways! With the respect your Majesty has for the Marquis, he will stay in Chengdu Mansion for a few years and then be transferred to The land south of the Yangtze River has been wandering for a few years. When the Marquis has completed his merits, it will probably be the time for him to pay homage to the Prime Minister.
However, if the Marquis wants to do something, I’m afraid he will have to think carefully!”
"Things in this place are different from marching to fight! A single move can affect the whole body, and the danger is even three points more dangerous than a sword fight! If the Marquis has any thoughts, he must be cautious!"
Shen Tang nodded solemnly, "Thank you for your advice!"
After a moment of silence, Shen Tang slowly said, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country! Shen Tang is not a saint, but he also knows how to do his best! The tragedy of the Jingkang Incident is still vivid in my mind, and I don't want to face such a tragedy again in the future. !As a minister of the imperial court, you should devote yourself to the country.
As the head of the family, I have to protect the children! Therefore, I, Shen Tang, do not want to be a stable and high-ranking official!"
"This trip is bound to be risky, and if you are not careful, you will be shattered to pieces! However, someone in our Song Dynasty will eventually stand up! Even if I know that the road ahead is dangerous, I, Shen Tang, will have no regrets!"
Looking at Shen Tang's firm gaze, Xiang Liang suddenly raised his head and laughed!
"Haha, it is my blessing to meet a hero like the Marquis in this life! Although he is in a humble position, he is also bold and ambitious! If the Marquis is called upon, Xiang can serve as a pawn!"
The two of them are dozens of years apart, but they cherish each other at this moment!
"Master Xiang, believe me! You and I will never walk this road alone! We, the Song Dynasty, have millions of people, all with passionate hearts! All you and I need to do is to ignite their blood! One day, our Song Dynasty will To be able to be like that powerful man in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, to make foreign countries surrender and make the people live in peace! This is your and my responsibility, but it is also our honor!"
The exchange with Xiang Liang made Shen Tang very satisfied, and having such a helper would be of great help to what he plans to do in the future! The various problems Xiang Liang mentioned do exist, but there are also problems in Chengdu Fulu An advantage not found elsewhere.
That is, this place has just been devastated by war, so in some places, Shen Tang can take action with great fanfare and take advantage of the chaos to achieve what he wants to do.
It is naturally not easy to completely control Chengdu Mansion, and it is even more difficult to twist the forces of this road into one rope. However, Shen Tang is confident that in the next few years, he can gradually turn Chengdu Mansion into his own. The way you want it.
Early the next morning, Liu Xiangling and others first followed Xiang Liang to Jiading Mansion to stay temporarily, while Shen Tang and Shao Muyu turned south and headed to Murong Zhong's home!
Except for the fifty personal guards led by Zhou Lu who followed Shen Tang, the other personal guards and Qian Hong and others followed Liu Xiangling.
Naturally, Shiying led two thousand troops to protect Shen Tang and the others.
Most of Shiying's men were infantry, so they didn't move very fast.
Fortunately, Shen Tang was not in a hurry, and the group headed south. Two days later, they left the boundary of Jiading Prefecture and entered Tongchuan Prefecture Road again.
"General, we continue to walk along the river. After about twenty miles, we turn east and walk for more than thirty miles. After crossing Leilong Mountain, we can reach the boundary of Mahu Department! According to what the lady said, Jiazong tribe should be about fifteen miles east of Leilong Mountain.
Today, we will camp outside Leilong Mountain, cross over Leilong Mountain tomorrow morning, and arrive at noon!"
The generals in the British division are indeed very familiar with this area. How to travel and where to camp are all arranged very properly!
"Okay! The division general can make his own arrangements!"
Shen Tang nodded with satisfaction!
Before sunset, the group came to Leilong Mountain.
About three or four miles away from Leilong Mountain, there happens to be a flat land for everyone to camp and rest!
After a night of silence, everyone set out again early the next morning, walking through the winding mountain roads. After passing Leilong Mountain, looking around, they saw a vast land of light with almost no end in sight!
"Fifty miles ahead, there is Wenchi Mountain. There is a Wangquan on Wenchi Mountain called 'Wenchi'. That is the ancestral land of the Mahu tribe!"
Shiying stood behind Shen Tang and introduced Shen Tang.
"This area is full of mountains and rivers, and is vast and sparsely populated! Although these tribes are nominally headed by the Wumeng tribe, they actually operate independently! Just like the Mahu tribe, although it is nominally under the Wumeng tribe, it is because of him Because it is adjacent to Qiongbu Prefecture, we rely on our Xuhen tribe in Qiongbu Prefecture! Although the Wumeng tribe is also dissatisfied, the Shimen River and Mahu River are separated, so there is nothing we can do!"
