Princess Yongqing had made up her mind. She immediately took out a pair of scissors from the makeup box on the bedside and cut off a lock of hair with a click. Empress Song turned pale and said: "Yongqing, why are you so reckless in doing things? Let's discuss it again."
.”
"What else is there to discuss? Only when scholars sit down and discuss military matters will it be difficult to accomplish anything great!"
Princess Yongqing said solemnly: "I told him that after his father passed away, Yongqing was in great sorrow. He originally wanted to leave the world, but now that your mother is seriously ill, Yongqing felt that life is impermanent, and he is willing to cut off his hair and become a nun.
The ancient Buddha of Qingdeng chants sutras for his father’s salvation, recites sutras and prays for his mother-in-law, and prays for peace for all people in the world. Regardless of whether he should or should not, Yongqing will be a monk from now on!"
After that, she cut it off again, and another lock of hair fell to the ground...
"For the Qiang, Tubo, Uighur, Khitan, and Han tribes and villages who have taken refuge with me, according to their number and living habits, whether they are herding or farming, the areas should be demarcated as soon as possible and registered at the same time. You can handle this in person.
"
"yes."
After Yang Hao finished speaking, he said uneasily: "Brother is physically inconvenient and running around like this..."
Ding Chengzong smiled and said: "This is good. The busier I am, the more I will feel that I am not a useless person, not to mention that I am doing things for my own brothers."
His complexion was indeed very good, and his expression and behavior gradually returned to the majesty of the former Ding Chengzong. Yang Hao was very pleased, nodded, and watched Ding Chengzong leave the commander's hall. He turned around and said to Secretary Lin Pengyu: "Mr. Lin, we are recruiting soldiers.
You are responsible for the matter. In addition to recruiting a standing army, the children of each tribe who are over seven years old and under fourteen years old must also receive regular military training. This is very important. The household has not been completely built yet, so the two things should be done simultaneously."
Lin Pengyu raised his head from the pile of documents he was processing and agreed.
"Xiao Yu, when will Dong'er and the others arrive?"
Mu Yu said: "My sister led the army to personally protect the four ladies and is on her way. She will probably arrive in Yinzhou the day after tomorrow."
“Very good!”
Yang Hao helped the case: "Mr. Fan, the weapons and grain stored in Jiezhou's treasury must be inventoried as soon as possible. Also, the disabled soldiers must settle down well and choose a place to settle in Yinzhou City. After the war, the city
There are many widowed and orphaned women. The elders of the village can try their best to bring them together so that they can have both men and women to rely on. If they are no longer able to make a living, the township officials and guardians in all lanes will be responsible for taking care of them. This matter concerns us.
Don’t be careless about the loyalty and morale of the state army.”
Fan Siqi, the envoy of the camp, and Qin Jiang, Lu Yuxuan, Xi Chuyun and other officials in charge of civil affairs were discussing the matter in detail around a document. Hearing this, he hurriedly agreed: "Don't worry, Taiwei, this matter will be dismissed."
The arrangements have been made, and I will personally check in later."
At this time, Young Master Ye rushed in excitedly with an eagle on his arm: "Captain, secret message from Tokyo."
The people who were busy in the hall all raised their heads and looked at Yang Hao. Yang Hao frowned and hurriedly took off the bamboo tube under the eagle's feet. He checked the seal and took out the letter. He found that the letter was written in the highest-level military secret language.
, Yang Hao hurriedly asked Mu Yu to get the secret book, and he went to the desk to decipher it sentence by sentence. After reading it, he slowly straightened up, with a half-smile on his face.
Seeing that the hall was quiet and everyone was looking at him, Yang Hao laughed and said: "What are you looking at? There are a lot of things to be done, so be diligent in doing what you are doing." After saying that, he asked Mu Yu for going too far.
A flicker of the wind ignited a flame, burning the piece of thin silk clean.
At this time, more than 100 men were riding and guarding seven or eight carts heading towards Yinzhou North City. The towering Yinzhou City in the distance was already in sight. Cui Dalang was sitting in a car in front. In his hand, there was also
Holding a piece of thin silk and looking at it carefully for a long time, Cui Dalang made a fire to burn the silk, and murmured to himself: "This Yang Hao, actually has such an ability to predict things like a god? They... Sure enough,
I started thinking of escaping from Bianjing..."
Cui Dalang marveled at Yang Hao's ability to foresee this matter, but his focus was mainly on how much benefit this matter would bring to the people he supported. Cui Dalang gently tapped the chopping board of the small couch in the car, pondered for a long time, and shook his head.
Said: "But... Yang Hao is very careful, or... his heart is not ruthless enough. To summon the subjects of the old Tang Dynasty, that person may not be alive; to want the capable ministers of the old Tang Dynasty to be used by him, that person must not be alive.
"His son is enough. I'll be the one to take responsibility for this evil person."
There was a hint of murderous aura in his eyes. He picked up his pen, took a piece of silk, and wrote a "ghost-drawing talisman" that no one could understand. He carefully stuffed it into a bamboo tube and tied it firmly under the eagle's feet.
When the goshawk spread its wings and flew up, another eagle also flew into the night from Yinzhou City...
Yinzhou Defense Envoy's Palace, later Prince Qing's Palace, has now become Yang Hao's commander-in-chief's palace.
Yang Hao left the Commander's Mansion and inspected the Yinzhou City, which was being rebuilt and reinforced, with Li Yide, the Yinzhou judge he personally appointed. Seeing that the city was being reinforced using the original defense facilities, and the progress was rapid, he couldn't help but nodded happily. He nodded happily.
He looked down and turned to Li Yide and said, "Master Li, I have been too busy with everything these past two days and I haven't had time to see that person yet. How is that person doing now?"
Li Yide knew who he was talking about, so he smiled and said: "According to the order of the Taiwei, as soon as the subordinates got hold of it, they immediately transferred the father and son and their belongings into the deep residence of my Li family. In addition to arranging personnel to strictly guard and restrict
As for their actions, they have not been tortured in food, drink, sleep or accommodation, so Lieutenant Commander can rest assured."
Yang Hao said happily: "Very good. Miss Zhe has vaguely heard about such a general of the Han Dynasty who helped King Qing defend the city. She also asked me about it, but I put it off. Although Liu Jiye protected the Han Dynasty, and Lin
We have no contact with each other, but they are a family after all, and his wife is Fuzhou Zheshuai's sister. If Miss Zhe knows about it, I won't be able to do some things."
Li Yide smiled and said: "The Taiwei is interested in talents and wants to subdue this person?"
"good."
Li Yide sighed and said: "He was the eldest son of the Yang family in Linzhou, but after he helped protect the Liu family of Han Dynasty, he never interacted with his family again. He is extremely loyal and loyal. It is difficult for such a person to return to his heart. Moreover,
Although he no longer has contact with the Linzhou Yang family, he has an inseparable relationship with the Zheyang family. If he refuses to submit to the Taiwei, how to deal with it will be a headache."
Yang Hao actually already had some concerns in his mind. He was determined to recruit Yang Jiye, a famous general. However, he also knew that he wanted to bring this person back. He couldn't just follow the big-eared thief and visit the thatched cottage three times. Yang Jiye
Just like the righteous Guan Yunchang, Cao Aman treated him very badly. In the end, he passed five levels and killed six generals before returning to his eldest brother.
Yang Jiye was not a person who walked all the way to the dark side. I remember from the records about him that because he saw the power of the Song Dynasty, he also persuaded the lord to abandon the city and surrender to protect his wealth and life. However, the lord Liu Jiyuan refused, so he
He vowed to defend the city to the death. Until the city was broken, Liu Jiyuan was captured alive by the Song Dynasty. He sent people to persuade Yang Jiye to surrender in front of Yang Jiye, who was still fighting with his life. Only then did he abandon his weapon, cry prostrate, and surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
Of course, these are just historical records. Yang Hao has been in this era for a long time and already knows that not only many folk rumors are completely unrecognizable, but also the official history books are correcting the mistakes of this dynasty and covering up the mistakes of the previous dynasty. There are many untruths.
He didn't know whether these records were completely true. Because of this, he still held out hope.
If Yang Jiye was truly unparalleled in loyalty and would rather die than surrender, then he would not kill this person. Once he killed him, he would have planted a time bomb between himself and the Zheyang vassal, which would do more harm than good, not to mention
Now that we know his destiny, we may not have the chance to recruit him again in the future. Even if this person ends up returning to the Song Dynasty, what determines the fate of the northwest is whether Yang Hao is strong or not, and whether he can make full use of the Song Dynasty.
In the conflict with the Khitan, the Song Dynasty has many famous generals who are not inferior to Yang Jiye, and they are not afraid of one more opponent. When Li Jiqian was already unshakable in the Central Plains, he still successfully established his own power in Xixia, and he was not as good as a barbarian
?
So after listening to Li Yide's words, he just smiled slightly and said, "You have to give it a try before you know. Let's go, I'll go see him."
The two people got off the city, boarded their horses, and were about to rush to the old residence of the Li family. Suddenly, a soldier from the commander's mansion came on horseback. When he got close, he hurriedly dismounted, clasped his fists and saluted: "Captain, Cui Dalang has arrived at the commander's mansion, take him with you."
I received a guest with a high nose and deep eyes, dressed in white, and asked to see the Taiwei."
Yang Hao needs money everywhere now, and he has to resort to the help of Ji Si Tang to borrow money. When he heard that Cui Dalang had arrived, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. As for who the guest was, he didn't take it to heart. Yang Hao smiled at Li Yide and said
: "Haha, a guest is here. Don't be busy. I'll go see this distinguished guest first.
