Chapter 006 The sound of Jie drums rushes into Xiliang
When Zhe Ziyu left, her whereabouts were unknown. Yang Hao also panicked, and he and Zhe Yuxun searched separately for several days. They searched all possible places, but there was still no trace of her. Zhe Yuxun was very upset and couldn't help but said angrily. : "It's not easy to worry about. It's really not easy to worry about. I have spoiled her since she was a child. I can't even find Sui Feng's whereabouts. Where can a girl go?"
Yang Hao also woke up at this time and remembered everything he had known since he met Zhe Ziyu. She was a girl who was soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Especially because of her high status, she was thin-skinned and good-looking, and could not bear to be ashamed. Although this was just a competition of skills, she lost. With Yanyan, the matter itself was not that big of a deal, but it was a contest between her and her wife before she anxiously planned to marry into the Yang family as ordered by her eldest brother. The subtle meaning behind it was not that simple. I'm afraid she couldn't bear it. Humiliated, I won't go home for a while.
Thinking of this, Yang Hao turned to Yu Xun and said: "Brother is about to go west, and the eldest brother cannot leave Fuzhou for a long time. Please go back and take charge as soon as possible. With the strength of you and me, even if we search non-stop day and night, how many places can we search?" What's more, it is inconvenient to publish a report. Ziyu, who has written all over the world, has just handed over "Suifeng" not long ago. She knows all about "Suifeng"'s spy spies in various places. If she deliberately hides it from others, "Suifeng" 'How is it possible to find her? It's up to me to do this. I'll let Feiyu search secretly."
He thought for a while and then said: "Brother, please don't make any noise after returning to Fuzhou. Just pretend that this has never happened. Anyway, Ziyu often leaves the mansion and it will not arouse suspicion. Otherwise, if everyone knows about the trouble, Ziyu will be considered Even if I want to go back, I can’t put my knife in its sheath because of shame.”
Zhe Yuxun had no other choice, and it made sense after thinking about it carefully, so he followed Yang Hao's instructions and returned to Fuzhou. After seeing off Zhe Yuxun, Yang Hao returned to the mansion, sat down in the flower hall, and said with a stern face: "Call me Second mother, come."
Several maids in the hall saw the master's expression and hurriedly called for someone. Yanyan was in charge of Feiyu and had already known the development of the situation. Seeing that even the Zhe family could not find the whereabouts of Zhe Ziyu, she knew that this time things were really going on. It's become a big deal, and I've been feeling really uneasy these past few days.
She was bullied so badly by Zhe Ziyu at the beginning. If she had been as arrogant as Zi Yu, she would have been so angry that she would vomit blood. Now, although times have changed, she still has some grudges when thinking about the old grudges. She knew full well that Zhe Ziyu would definitely marry him. Her sister from the Yang family deliberately teased her and made her angry that day, not only to give her a blow, but also to show off Yang Hao's love for her. In the final analysis, they just wanted to feel proud in front of their old rival. Fan.
But because of her carefree temperament, it would be enough to suffer some injustice and make a fuss. She saves others by herself, thinking that it is no big deal to stimulate Zhe Ziyu's bad breath. But she doesn't want to feed all kinds of people with the same rice. Zhezi Yu had completely different temperaments from hers, and somehow, despite being a few years older, her temper seemed to be stronger than in the previous years. After running away, not even the Zhejia family could find her whereabouts.
Tang Yanyan entered the flower hall timidly, and the maids had already retreated out of the house. Yang Hao said with a serious face: "Miss Zhe's whereabouts are unknown so far."
Tang Yanyan murmured: "I...I already know."
Yang Haodao: "Zhong Fang will arrive in Xiazhou soon with the last batch of trained new troops. With an army of 80,000, we cannot control the consumption of rice and food here. As soon as he arrives, I will lead the army to the west. Looking for Zhejiang I'll leave the girl's affairs to you."
Tang Yanyan glanced at his face and knew that he was really angry. She didn't dare to act coquettishly to him anymore, so she responded in a low voice.
Yang Hao sullenly stood up and walked out. Tang Yanyan felt flustered and hurriedly said: "Officer."
Yang Hao stood still, but did not look back. Tang Yanyan twisted the corners of his clothes and said in a low voice: "I...I never thought it would lead to this, I just wanted to vent my anger, officer, Yan
Yan... I realized my mistake..."
"Oh?" Yang Hao slowly turned around: "What's wrong?"
"I……"
Yang Hao sighed and said tiredly: "Yanyan, how can I not know that you have given a lot to me? But to Ziyu, how much do I owe her? You also know that she has a proud personality and cannot bear humiliation. You
Do this... Well, my husband has been busy with business all day long, and I am already very tired. When I get home, I just hope to relax a little bit. You are all very smart women, and I really don’t want to say too much..."
Tang Yanyan looked at his back, remembering his lonely expression these days and the implicit warning just now, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She was sobbing on the desk when someone suddenly tapped her twice on her shoulder. She quickly wiped away her tears and looked up to see that it was Dong'er who was about to give birth. Yanyan quickly got up and helped her sit down, sobbing.
Said: "Why is sister here?"
Dong'er sat down next to her and said with a soft smile: "It's not because of you, a heartless girl. Speaking of which, Miss Zhe and the official met first, but the relationship between them was the most bumpy. After so many years,
Miss Zhe has paid a lot for the officials and has never married. Don’t you still understand the affection in your heart? Sooner or later, she will definitely join our Yang family. Isn’t it good for sisters to live in harmony? Give her a show of strength.
Is a breath of bad breath that important?"
"Yanyan, try your best to get her back. Even if you apologize personally, it's not a shame. If you really want to fight, just fight for who has the most weight in the official's heart. How to make the official value you? Is it?
Are the sisters fighting overtly and covertly? The official is a shrewd man, he just puts his mind on official matters. At home,
As long as it's harmless, he pretends to be ignorant, but if he really has any plans, he can't hide them. Just this time, although Miss Zhe is skilled in martial arts and alert, the northwest is not as good as the Central Plains. What if she
There are three long and two shortcomings...I'm afraid...it will be a lifelong illness in the hearts of officials..."
Tang Yanyan felt regretful and murmured: "I...I know. I will try my best to find her back. Sister, my sister is the best to me."
Dong'er said: "With you guys helping me, I'm just raising my baby in the back house with peace of mind. I don't know about these things. This is what I told me. I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it, and I'm afraid the officer will be really annoyed."
You, Yanyan, sisters, when we are together, occasionally get jealous and please the officials, that is the interest of the family and does not affect other things. But if you don’t know the importance and the officials are too lazy to watch the intrigues and go home when they are tired, then you can
..., do you understand?”
Tang Yanyan was startled. Of course she understood that she was born in the Tang family, which was extremely wealthy. Her uncles and brothers all had wives and concubines. She was already used to this kind of situation. In such a family, men
What kind of worry would it be not to have a beautiful, charming, knowledgeable woman as a companion? Therefore, the more arrogant a woman is, the easier it is to fall out of favor.
At first, Zhe Ziyu just left in anger, what was the officer's attitude? But when she disappeared, what was the officer's appearance like? If... she really had something wrong with her running away this time..., the more Tang Yanyan thought about it.
The more chilling...
Dong'er said softly: "If you really plan for the officials, if you really want to please them, you have to swallow your proud feathers. If the girl is smart enough, she will understand this sooner or later, but she will understand it too late.
It doesn't matter. If you don't know how to restrain your impetuous temper, you will regret it."
Tang Yanyan said sadly: "No wonder the officials respect and love my sister, but Yanyan is not as good as you. I...I will send someone to go to her right now!"
Zhong Fang is about to arrive in Xiazhou with the last batch of recruits trained in Luzhou. Once Zhong Fang arrives, it means the beginning of the Western Expedition. Yang Haoshi must no longer be distracted by looking for Ziyu, and this matter cannot
To publicize it publicly, you can only leave it to "Feiyu".
The matter has been handed over to Yanyan, but Yang Hao is not at ease, fearing that she will be angry and disobey her, so he orders Gou'er to secretly supervise her. If Yanyan is still emotional and does not know the importance, he will remove all her duties and let her just have peace of mind.
Be a Mrs. Yang.
Yang Hao also knew that he was a little too indulgent with these wives and concubines, but the rules between husband and wife could not be as strict as those between superiors and subordinates. There would always be some friction between husband and wife, and between wives and concubines, and there could never be any friction.
When things get violent, a family like that can only
If there is fear, there is no love. So as long as it is not too outrageous, he will turn a blind eye and not bother to pay attention. The relationship between the wives and concubines has always been good, plus they are all smart and know how to advance and retreat, and they have always been at peace with each other.
, and this time, he was really a little angry.
Gou'er, Yanyan, and Zhuyun are the core of the "Feiyu" organization and the three giants of this intelligence organization. Yang Hao will always set up two to three important positions in any important position, regardless of closeness.
, maintain checks and balances on their responsibilities and the establishment of supervision to prevent things from being ruined by others, or someone blocking the sky with one hand.
Zhuyun personally trains secret spies, which is her capital. She is independent among 'Feiyu'. Feiyu's personnel are actually in Zhuyun's hands. As his wife, Tang Yanyan cannot hold her hostage. Tang Yanyan can't hold her hostage.
Yanyan is in charge of the allocation of funds and property of Feiyu.
And the final summary and reporting of intelligence. And Gou'er's status is even more special. She is only responsible for Yang Hao. She is responsible for the security work related to Yang Hao, as well as all personnel transfers, property transfers, and her duties within this scope.
Not subject to the authority of Zhuyun and Yanyan.
As for issuing orders, it is handled by an organization similar to the secretariat. Their only mission is to receive orders, convey orders, and report for investigation. All orders from leaders at all levels of Feiyu, including Yang Hao, are issued through this department.
, orders issued by a certain leader can be reviewed by officials at the next higher level, ensuring internal transparency to a certain extent.
Yang Hao knows how important the secret service organization is, but he also knows that once it becomes a privileged organization controlled by someone, it can turn everything upside down, and even manipulate the supreme ruler above him. So he must both
To play its role, we must try to avoid it gradually becoming the personal tool of a powerful figure in a certain secret service organization during the development process.
He did not doubt that Tang Yanyan would be malicious to him, or have such ambitions or desires for power, but he had set up corresponding systems for all institutions from the beginning, and continued to implement them in actual operations.
Revise and supplement it to make it more perfect and rigorous.
Relying on the system may not be the most perfect, but even if human beings have developed to the level of civilization of their time, relying on the system is still a far more reliable method than relying on the leader's impartiality, selfless personal character, wisdom, and knowledge.
Of course, many years later, one of his successors can single-handedly overthrow the system established by his founder, but this is no longer within his consideration. Because he knows the future well, he has always been obsessed with changing the future.
But now he has gradually understood that no matter how powerful he is, he can only live in the present and create the present.
The future is in the hands of future people, not under their control. How can a person, who often cannot even arrange the fate of his son, arrange a path for people hundreds of years or thousands of years later so that they can live together in the same way?
Obey, obey? This is as stupid as those emperors who want to cultivate immortality and Taoism and live forever. After thinking about this, Yang Hao became much more open-minded.
The results of Inspector Gou'er were sent back. Yanyan was indeed sparing no effort to organize people to find the whereabouts of Zhe Ziyu, and did not violate his orders or discount his orders. Only then did Yang Hao feel relieved, put aside his family affairs for the time being, and began to concentrate on planning the West.
Enter.
He transferred Zhong to Xiazhou because he wanted Ding Chengzong and Zhong Fang to be in charge of Xiazhou during his personal campaign in the Western Regions. In the past two years, Zhong Fang's performance in civil affairs and martial arts has won the respect and respect of officials at all levels in the Jiedushi Prefecture.
Be convinced and grant him such
This important task is well deserved. Ding Chengzong is Yang Hao's eldest brother, and no one will doubt his loyalty. Therefore, Ding Chengzong was appointed as the deputy envoy of Jieduli and acted as the deputy envoy of Jiedushi.
, preside over daily affairs.
Outside the ancient Great Wall, on the east line of Hexi, the two prefectures of Linfu and Hengshan are the first line of defense. The two prefectures of Yin and Lu are backed by Hengshan and are the second line of defense. The pass of the ancient Great Wall is the third line of defense. Each line of defense is led by Yang Jiye and Fuzhou.
Zhe Yuxun defended together. The second line of defense was held by Yang Jiye and Li Yide.
To the south, the encroachment on the Tubo people was suspended, and the Tubo Shangbo Qianbu, Dashi Clan, Xiaoshi Clan, An Clan, and Yan Clan, whose hostility to the Qinzhou Song Army had turned to ambiguity, was handed over to his fourth brother Chibang.
Songhe went to deal with the Luo Dan clan chief of the Liugu Tubo tribe of Tubo, who had gradually grown stronger under his support.
Chi Bangsong used his status as a prince to divide and disintegrate various tribes, and tried his best to win their support for Yang Hao, while Luo Dan acted as the big stick to curb their development through force. One of the two played a good role, and the other played a bad role.
It is extremely lethal to those large and small loosely organized Tubo tribes.
Although the Tubo leaders Li Shangboqian, Tubu, and Wangnizhu have become increasingly powerful with the support of the Song Dynasty, they are not as noble as Chibangsong and Luodan in terms of blood. This is among the Tubo tribes who still maintain slavery.
, enough for Chi Bangsong and Luo Dan to offset part of their power advantage.
After completing the arrangements for Xiazhou and the deployment of the eastern and southern fronts, Yang Hao went all out to plan the westward march. He mobilized soldiers, stored grain and grass, weapons and ordnance, logistics and transportation, and intelligence reconnaissance... and spent more money.
The detailed mountain and river geography map of the westward route obtained with great effort was transcribed into many copies and distributed to various generals. After two years of rest and recuperation, Yang Hao began the largest-scale battle for the first time, and the war was directed towards the ancient road to the Western Regions.
White Tiger Festival, the highest level military meeting before the expedition.
There are only six people, Yang Hao, Zhong Fang, Zhang Pu, Ding Chengzong, Xiao Yan, and Xu Xuan, the highest-ranking officials in the military and political circles.
After some deliberation, Yang Hao concluded: "This expedition has far-reaching significance for consolidating and strengthening our political power. In terms of generals, I will take Zhang Pu as deputy commander, Mu En, Mu Kui, Ai Yihai, Li Huating,
Why should Ning serve as a general, Tuoba Haofeng, Li Jitan, and Zhang Chongwei stay in Xiazhou with Lord Zhong? Do you have any other suggestions?"
Xu Xuan cupped his hands and said: "Captain Taiwei, our army has regained its homeland in China, and its military power is pointing directly outside the Yumen Pass. This is an upright battle, and it will be remembered for thousands of years. Before sending troops, there should be a proclamation to be announced to the world."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yan, Zhong Fang, and Ding Chengzong responded in unison. Yang Haoruo realized something, nodded and said: "It makes sense. With your knowledge, you have to write a sonorous, powerful and righteous statement. That is
It's easy, but the tone of the message needs to be set first, what do you think, sir?"
Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said: "Taiwei, there are millions of Han people in our homeland in the Western Regions. Taiwei is going out this time to restore our Chinese homeland and save the Han people who are the same ancestors as me from distress. I should emphasize this statement again."
One point. The wild people in the Western Regions are uncivilized and uncivilized. They took advantage of the fact that there was no one in China. The wild foxes ascended to the throne, and the monkeys were crowned. They stole the Han land and oppressed the Han people.
Today, fortunately, God's way has returned. The Taiwei is in charge of the northwest, all industries are revived, and people's minds are in order. Therefore, in accordance with the power of God, we will clear up China, restore our homeland, and save our Han people. This is an act of obedience to God's destiny. Given the size of China's Liuhe,
The people of the nine provinces, pointed by the military front, are as powerful as broken bamboos. They should be able to plow their palaces and hoe their holes. The barbarians are young and young, so they should lower their heads and be willing to serve as servants. If not, wherever the military power comes, everyone will be burned!"
Xu Xuan's spirit perked up, he clapped his hands and sighed: "It's so impressive, Mr. Xiao has so much courage. Xu is still chewing on words, but the master has already finished his words. It's really a good article with such arrogance that swallows up the world. In this way, millions of people in the Western Regions
The Han people will definitely return home, what does the Taiwei think?"
Yang Hao almost said the word "nonsense", but Xu Xuan and Xiao Yan were both literati, not as good as military generals, so it didn't matter if they joked casually, so he shook his head and said: "That's wrong, it's Hulu and Xiaoxiao again."
, where will you place Muen Mukui and the many Khitan, Tuyuhun, Tubo, Uighur and even Qiang soldiers in our army?"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "There are more than fifty ethnic groups in the Khitan country. In order to respect the customs of each ethnic group and win over the people, the Khitan people are so arrogant and barbaric that they all follow their own tribes and customs, so we set up a south courtyard and a north courtyard.
After sixty years of properly settling the Han people, you should know whether the Han people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are more close to the Khitan, or they still yearn for the Central Plains?"
He changed his sitting posture and said: "Let's talk about the Song Dynasty. It also has many ethnic groups such as Han, Miao, Yao, Gelao, Zhuang, Li, and She. There are also special people from various ethnic groups such as Tugu Hunzhi, Khitan Zhi, and Japanese Zhi in the Forbidden Army.
All branches of the military are treated equally, so that they can become naturalized.
There is no water in the world greater than the sea. Why? Because all the rivers accept it. There are not only millions of Han people in the Western Regions, but also millions of people of other nationalities. Once this proclamation was published, they all wanted to join us.
Pushed to the enemy's position, do you think so?"
Zhang Pu nodded and said: "What the commander-in-chief said is that Zhang Yi's Chaoyi banner swept thousands of miles in one fell swoop, occupying eleven continents in the Western Regions in an instant and becoming the number one overlord in the Western Regions, surpassing Tubo and Uighur.
His power has gradually shrunk, and now his descendants are only left in Guasha, struggling hard. The reason is that he devalued other ethnic groups and had continuous wars with each other. The Han people in the Western Regions suffered deeply from this, and they gradually went from supporting them to abandoning them.
.”
Xiao Yan and Xu Xuan were former officials of the Tang Dynasty who lived in the heart of the Central Plains. They did not have deep feelings in this regard, so they said this. Now after hearing what Yang Hao said and Zhang Pu's confirmation, they couldn't help but feel rash and nodded in agreement.
Yang Haodao: "First of all, in this appeal, the style of writing should use less fancy words and eccentric words. Otherwise, except for some learned scholars who are willing to join me, not many people will understand it."
It loses its meaning, be sure to be concise
It is straightforward and can be understood by most people. Secondly, the purpose of the statement is to emphasize the important role of the Hexi Corridor’s ancient roads in the Western Regions. You must know that in those days, the Hexi Corridor was used as a trade road, connecting the east and west, and the wealth of Hexi was the best in the world.
, who is not benefited from it, now?
We must let everyone know that the forces of all parties are now intertwined and warring against each other endlessly. As a result, wars have continued in the Western Regions for a hundred years, and people of all ethnic groups have suffered. People, rich and poor, have been ravaged by wars, and have been plundered, leaving not even an inch of grass behind.
, the trade routes in the Western Regions were cut off, causing the people to
There is no livelihood, and the cities on the westward journey are becoming increasingly depressed. And my commander-in-chief wants to open up the trade routes in the Western Regions, so that they can all be protected by our army, and revitalize Hexi, so that all the tribes in the Western Regions and the people in all directions can benefit from it. Farming, animal husbandry, industry, and commerce can't be more than what we want.
Food and clothing, if you say this, its benefits are obvious."
He paused and then said: "I understand what Mr. Xiao said. This matter needs to be mentioned, but it must not intensify the conflict. China's thousands of years of etiquette, justice, human ethics, poems and books must not
According to legend, when annihilation is imminent, I send out troops. This is to defend Taoism and protect Confucianism.
Scholars in the Western Regions should also support them. Also, the wars in the Western Regions are endless. Not only are the people suffering, but even Buddhist temples are often looted and burned by the tyrants, causing the monks to wander around and not be able to worship Buddha and meditate. I am leaving here.
Naturally, I want to keep them safe."
Yang Hao straightened up and said: "Those with vested interests who are unwilling to surrender or leave, if you want to defeat them, you can just use force. But if you want to stand firm, you must gain the support of the people in the territory under your jurisdiction."
Support. Therefore, we must march westward in an upright and dignified manner, without any conspiracy.
We must not go to war undeclared as a conspiracy. We must let everyone in the Western Regions, who speak the languages of different nations and understand the characters of different nations, understand our intentions and determination to fight, and the goals we want to achieve.
You know, everyone is willing to fight for all the power they can!"
"...The ancient road is like a dragon, but it has been severely damaged. The desert winds are blowing, Dunhuang has left the sect, and outside the Yumen Pass, the chariots and horses are withered..., I would like to declare to the world with my sincerity that the Marshal of the Army of Longyou in Hexi Province will decide the difficulties and save the envoys. Hengshan Festival
Du envoy, inspection officer, Kaifu instrument
Tongsansi Yang Hao was angry with the situation and wanted to secure the country. Now that he saw the decline of Hexi, he felt his responsibility and led his dignified troops to calm the thieves and calm the people, reestablish the ancient roads, and achieve peace. This was a great act of benevolence and righteousness. The flag was ordered.
So far, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish..."
Amidst the sonorous and powerful words of his words, Yang Hao's banner rolled out, with 80,000 tigers running, leaving Xiazhou, crossing the Hanhai Sea, crossing the Yellow River, crossing Shatuo, along the ancient Great Wall Road, heading straight to the first stop of the Western Expedition: Xiliang
