Chapter 98: I found an excellent cavalry general, how should I use it?
Yang Zhi saw Yu Hechang and Gong Hongbo, the kidnapped deputy chiefs of Moutuogang Mu Station, uncovering his scars as a horse bandit in the northwest in front of Zhao Guan's family, and also told Zhao Guan's family his dark history.
: Raided and robbed the grain and grass escort army of the old Zhongjing Lueggong Zhongshi Dao...
What makes Yang Zhi most angry is that what these two dog officials said in the first half is indeed true.
However, the second half of what these two dog officials reported to the officials was all imagined by these two dog officials to slander Yang Zhi.
Yang Zhi remembered: five years ago, he sincerely accepted the imperial court's offer and took refuge under Zhong Shidao as a general. He also gained the trust and promotion of Zhong Shidao, the old manager... p>
Even Mr. Tong Guan, the veteran military officer of the Northwest Army, who always treated Mr. Tong with respect when he saw him, saw Yang Zhi going into battle to kill the enemy. He praised him for his martial arts, riding and shooting, and his incomparable loyalty to the Song Dynasty. He killed Xixia.
The dog takes the lead bravely, no one can defeat it!
Who is Tong Guan? Although he is a eunuch, he has won the trust of Zhao Guan's family. He has power both internally and externally. He leads the Privy Council and supervises the northwest army. He was called "the Prime Minister" at that time. As of the second year of Xuanhe, he has been in charge of the military for 14 years... Mr. Tong and Mr. Lao Zhong both believe in Yang Zhi’s loyalty.
Now, the two dog officials, the chief and deputy envoy of Moutuogang Mu, who have been ordered to be kidnapped by Zhao Guan's family, dare to say that a certain Yang Zhi "has two ambitions and wants to murder the official family.
Yang Zhi knelt down to Zhao Ji and said, "O sage in the official family, you have to make the decision for your general!
Yang Zhi, the last general, has sworn to be loyal to the country since he was recruited by the imperial court. He served as a general under the old manager Zhong Zhong, Gong Zhongshi Dao. He would fight bravely to take the lead in every battle and kill the enemy Xixia soldiers who invaded our border with the Song Dynasty.
Never show mercy, kill a lot of enemies in every battle.
Even Mr. Tong, the Northwest Supervisor and Mr. Lao Zhong, the manager, praised the last general Yang Zhi: he is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and he is the most brave among the three armies!
Now, two dog officials, Yu Hechang and Gong Hongbo, dare to slander others, report and smear the loyalty of the last general Yang Zhi!
In this case, the last general Yang Zhi will also report how Gong and Gong deducted and embezzled military pay and horse food when they were the deputy chief envoys of Moutuogang Mu Station...
Behind them, there are also important officials of the current government as their backers!
The general learned this secret accidentally, but others did not know it.
Now, in front of the officials, the final report will be made on the spot to expose the two Gongs and their big backers!"
Zhao Ji smiled slightly, appearing calm on the surface, but in his heart he guessed that the big backer behind Yang Zhi and Gong might be Taiwei Gao Qiu!
Zhao Ji asked: "Who is the big backer behind Yang Zhi, Yu, and Gong? Come quickly!"
Yang Zhi looked around and saw thousands of officers and soldiers from Moutuogang Pastoral Station present. He originally wanted to tell Zhao Guan's family in private when no one else was around.
However, now Zhao Guan's family asked him to tell.
He had no choice but to grit his teeth and say in a loud voice, "Yu and Gong, the biggest backer behind them is Taiwei Gao Qiu! Together they conspired to embezzle the military pay and horse breeders of Moutuogang Pastoral Station.
Food and grass money!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole army was shocked...
"Ah?!"
"Is this true?"
"Does Lieutenant Gao also drink the blood of our soldiers?"
"I only know that when Taiwei Gao was building many private houses in the capital, he requisitioned hundreds of military horses from our Moutuogang to transport wood..."
"Envoy Yang dared to report Lieutenant Gao in front of Zhao Guan's family. It seems that he has some evidence..."
"Even if we have the evidence, it's just that the Zhao family has great trust in Captain Gao. How can the little Yang Jun envoy be able to overthrow him?"
"I'm afraid that if Yang Junshi fails to report and expose corrupt officials, he will be persecuted instead..."
The officers and soldiers of Moutuogang Animal Husbandry Station who were present started discussing in low voices...
The officers and soldiers dared to discuss despite the presence of Zhao Guan's family. This is also because the emperors of the Song Dynasty not only supported the scholar-bureaucrats, but were also very generous and kind to the soldiers and civilians.
When the emperors of the previous generations of the Northern Song Dynasty were traveling, when the common people on the street saw the emperor's chariot, they did not have to kneel on the street or avoid it. Instead, they came up to watch, pointed, commented, and some were still on the street.
In restaurants and teahouses, one can open the window, stretch one’s neck and poke out one’s head to watch the excitement of the emperor’s royal chariot...
Since all the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty had an image of being close to the people, at this time, the officers and soldiers present saw that Yang Zhi openly reported Gao Qiu for embezzling the military pay and the money for feeding the horses at Moutuogang Pastoral Station. Such a big melon, for the pastoral office,
The officers and soldiers felt that it was big and fragrant. Therefore, they did not have to worry too much about the presence of Zhao Guan's family and dared to discuss the matter with each other...
Of course, this is also because Moutuogang Pastoral Center is located in the northwest suburbs of Kaifeng City, Tokyo. On weekdays, the pastoral center where the Forbidden Army is stationed is not accessible to idlers.
Therefore, until now, all the officers and soldiers in Moutuogang Pastoral Station do not know that the Zhao family had arrested Taiwei Gao Qiu and Shaozai Wang Fu in front of Genyue Gate this morning and sent them to Dali Temple for trial. Yu Hechang and Gong Hongbo, who were tied up, sneered.
The two of them thought to themselves: Yang Zhi, a former horse bandit, was recruited into the army as an official, but he is still a bandit!
Hehe... Bandit Yang Zhi, how do you know that the officialdom of the Song Dynasty is as deep as the sea?
Yang Zhi, don’t you know how much the Zhao Guan family has trusted and respected Gao Qiu in the past twenty years?!
Common man Yang Zhi, do you dare to reveal that the great backer behind us is Captain Gao?
You dare to say that Lieutenant Gao and we have jointly embezzled part of the monthly military pay and the food and grass money for war horses from Moutuogang Pastoral Station. You are really looking for death...
Zhao Ji saw all the officers and soldiers talking in confusion after seeing the shock, and saw the proud expressions of Yu and Gong.
He was calm and calm, and said: "I have mastered most of Gao Qiu's crimes. As of today, I have arrested Gao Qiu and sent him to Dali Temple for trial!"
"Ah?!" Yu Hechang, the envoy of Moutuogang Mu Division, and Gong Hongbo, the deputy envoy, were both shocked!
Yu Hechang ignored the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers and couldn't help asking:
"Do you really mean what the official said?"
"Hmph!" Zhao Ji shouted angrily, "I am the king of a country, how can I make such a fool of myself?"
Yu Hechang and Gong Hongbo, who were tied up by Wu Huada, knelt on the spot blankly...
At this time, thousands of officers and soldiers at Moutuogang Pastoral Station cheered:
"Long live my emperor, long live..."
"O sage official! Arrest Gao Qiu for questioning, and let Gao Qiu and the deputy director of the pastoral station spit out the military pay that they embezzled from us..."
After Zhao Ji stretched out his right hand and made a quieting movement, the shouts of the officers and soldiers of the Moutuogang Animal Husbandry Station suddenly stopped...
Zhao Ji looked at Yang Zhi with a smile and asked: "You didn't expect that I had already captured Gao Qiu first, right?"
Yang Zhi's dark face showed a look of shock at first, and then his mouth grinned so happily that it almost reached his earlobes...
"O official sage! Long live my emperor!
The last general had planned not to take his own life, but also to report it to the officials, Gong, the two bloody dog officers, and their big backer, Gao Taiwei!
I never expected that the officials had already taken the lead and put the chief culprit, Gao Qiu, in jail for questioning!
Official sage!
I am truly lucky to meet the Mingjun and the Lord. I will always be loyal to the official family, kill the enemy first, and die for the country!"
"Haha... What a Yang Zhi who killed the enemy first and died serving the country!" Zhao Ji smiled and said loudly as if he was praising him.
However, he did not take Yang Zhi's words seriously.
Zhao Ji, a top student in the history department, was very fond of the history of the Song Dynasty when he was still in college at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.
When writing my graduation thesis "The Relationship and Influence of the People's Republic of China", I consulted a large number of relevant historical materials from the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty...
Zhao Ji knew that the Yang Zhi in front of him was not the descendant of the famous patriotic general Yang Laolinggong (Yang Ye) who died in the battle at Chenjiagukou in the third year of Yongxi reign of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 986). Yang Zhi also faced this point.
Admitted.
Today, the descendants of the Yang family generals are still unknown, and there are no very famous generals yet.
According to historical development, at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yang Wen, a descendant of the Yang family, served as the pacifier of Bozhou and was a famous anti-Mongolian general...
Zhao Ji looked at Yang Zhi, and through his words, he also matched up with Yang Zhi, a real Northern Song army soldier who was not very famous in history, but was praised by the history secretary.
The Yang Zhi in front of me was recorded in the "Jingkang Xiaoya" which has historical value:
Yang Zhi was originally a giant bandit, but he was recruited by Chao Yan. He was under the command of Zhongshi Dao and commanded the vanguard...
Yang Zhi later accompanied the Zhong Division to rescue Taiyuan, which was besieged by the Jin Army. When fighting the Jin Army, he fled without fighting in Yuci, resulting in the death of Zhong Division...
(Among the masters, he is the younger brother of the master.)
Zhao Ji smiled, looked at Yang Zhi, and thought to himself:
You say, loyal to the emperor and patriotic?
However, in history, in the first year of Jingkang, during the Battle of Shaxiongling in Yuci, it should be because the souchong manager did not bring enough rewards among the breeders, so he could not give rewards to you soldiers.
You also saw that the siege of the Jin army was very powerful. Therefore, you, Yang Zhi, like other soldiers, were angry because they did not receive the reward and were unwilling to fight to the death against the Jin army, so you abandoned the little Jinglue Xianggong in the siege.
Fleeed in all directions.
Zhong Shizhong led the remaining more than a hundred soldiers around him and continued to fight desperately. In the end, the famous general Zhong Shizhong was seriously injured in four places. He hated the battlefield and died in the battle at Sha Xiong Ling.
Of course, Zhao Ji knew that because he, the son of destiny, traveled through time and came to the Northern Song Dynasty, the tragic ending of the battlefield where the great and small managers died in battle should be able to change.
As for people like Yang Zhi, Zhao Ji still has a question mark in his mind as to whether he would reuse him.
If Yang Zhi's martial arts, riding and shooting skills are really strong, then he should be careful about using them. Why can't he use them with great trust like Zong Ze, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei?
