Chapter 567 What I Want, Pharmacist Guo, Can You Give Me?
When Xiao Tang, Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Yi, and Duan Jingzhu left Yujiatuan and prepared to go north by sea, the Liao army probed the border from far away, and Baozhou and Pidao experienced a false alarm.
The place has long since returned to its former peace.
Now, no matter which ethnic group in Liaodong, whether they are farmers or nomads, they can always find a place to live in Baozhou. Over time, they will naturally regard this place as their hometown, not to mention the ethnic turmoil ahead.
After the turmoil, those shameless people among the various tribes who liked to stir up trouble and maliciously provoke disputes among the tribes, as well as the idle scoundrels, had already been eradicated by Pei Xuanshi, who strictly enforced the law, with thunderous means. The following paragraph
Over time, the hearts of the people in Baozhou, Pidao and other places gradually stabilized.
In other words, in the past, when the fierce and aggressive tribes outside the Guan Dynasty lived together, once some conflicts and disputes occurred, the tribes living together were indeed accustomed to helping each other, often without going through the government, and the whole clan would go out.
The move to seek justice from the people inevitably caused great turmoil. After Pei Xuan's severe beating, all the people had to get used to having the judicial office negotiate and resolve disputes.
After Pei Xuanda threw his punches, it was Wen Huanzhang's turn who was not only talented but also experienced in officialdom.
First of all, Wen Huanzhang has been as impartial as possible in the allocation of resources. He not only ordered his subordinates to sort out the name list of households and shops, so that people of all ethnic groups can carry out their own business and live in peace.
After consciously encouraging people of all ethnic groups to Yingpi Dao, Wen Zhongrong and Cui Ye began to implement maritime trade, collecting various local specialties, and waiting for maritime trade with the Song Dynasty, Goryeo, the Nanjing Road area in the Liao Dynasty, and even Japan.
(still as a smuggler), in exchange for major benefits...
Most of the various government orders that Wen Huanzhang then painstakingly implemented were to make the people of all ethnic groups realize that as long as the residents living here, regardless of their ethnic identity, they would benefit from both being together and hurt both from being divided. This is still the case today.
A close bonding relationship was formed.
Therefore, although Xiao Tang only occupied a mere military state in Baozhou and several sea towns including Pi Island, in this borderland of Liao Kingdom far away from Emperor Gao, his "death"
"The officers and generals of the Song court who were just posthumously appointed as military governors are not like the current generals in the Song court who are like Wang Huan, Zhang Kai, Han Cunbao and others who only lead the army with the title of military governor. His current power is really like that of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties.
Like the Jiedu officials of the period, he integrated the military, civilian and financial affairs into one body. Not only did he have full control over the deployment of the troops under his jurisdiction at any time, but he also appointed all the officials in charge of civil affairs and finance under his rule.
Moreover, the local military government of Xiaotang was not subject to any government control, so it could have long been said to be the local emperor of a separate country.
The refugees from Liaodong suffered greatly from the military disaster. Although most of them were citizens of the Liao Kingdom, the government could not give them the peaceful and stable life they wanted. Now they are happy to be assigned to this place. The system and order are gradually improving.
They were settled in the city, no matter what the identity of the wolf master who took them in was.
However, the wishes of ordinary people can be easily fulfilled, but there is one person who is not willing to hang out together. That person is Yaoshi Guo.
Now Guo Yaoshi is riding his horse around outside Baozhou City. As far as he can see, houses in the valleys inside and outside the city have begun to take shape, and wall fortresses have also been built in the valley not far to the north. The fertile land five or six miles outside the city has now been turned into fertile farmland, but you can see thousands of miles of green fields and lush green fields. From time to time, you can see Han people. Bohai farmers who make a living from farming gather together in twos and threes. They talk and talk. Smiling, looking particularly leisurely and happy.
You have occupied this ownerless land and are just trying to live in peace and contentment. But in the final analysis, are you the people of the Liao Dynasty now? Or the people of the Song Dynasty?
Pharmacist Guo was thinking in his mind, and suddenly another idea came to his mind: And who am I?
Although Guo Yaoshi had to leave his hometown due to the chaotic situation, he knew that with his own prestige and means, the more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities he would have to make a fortune. Even though I am just a commoner, as the saying goes, heroes emerge from troubled times. , which good man wouldn’t want to take advantage of the situation and achieve great success?
In the past, the Xiaotang Dynasty spent a lot of money to support himself to help the Han people who had left their homes in Liaodong and were in danger. Although Guo Yaoshi was grateful, he also tried his best to help Xiaotang recruit Han people from Liaodong to migrate to Baozhou. But now there are several military prefectures. After the development of Haizhen began to take off, Guo Yaoshi found that he had been promoted, and his path to greater fame had reached a bottleneck. He felt that his identity was not only non-citizen and non-official, but Xiao Tang, although a refugee in Liaodong, Five thousand brave men were mobilized to form the "Resentful Army", and Guo Yaoshi was appointed as the military commander. However, there was a Dong clown in the Resentful Army who competed with him and occupied his military power...
This did not satisfy Yaoshi Guo's feeling that he could attract everyone's attention and have the power of life and death in one body.
Now Pharmacist Guo has heard about Xiao Tang's fake death, and saw that another unit with a total of 7,500 soldiers and horses, named Jishan Army, was transferred to Baozhou in batches by Xiao Tang, and that group of troops Most of the generals seemed to be rough and tumble people, and Pharmacist Guo could now confirm that all the activities Xiao Tang secretly did in Liaodong had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty court?
What did Xiao Tang want to do? When I first met him in Liaoyang Mansion, he was still an envoy of the Song Dynasty. But now Xiao Tang does not raise a rebel flag and only cares about secretly developing his power. Looking at his behavior, it is not It seems that like Gao Yongchang and others, they want to take advantage of the chaos and establish themselves as emperor...
Moreover, Xiao Tang took advantage of the Liao official's announcement that he was killed in Liaodong. In Baozhou, I walked around the boundaries of the Liao Nanjing Road and even the Jingdong Road of the Song Dynasty. I guess he still planned to return to the Song Dynasty Hall one day. The behavior of people is too unbelievable, and they are just like Dong Xiucheng. As a result, those guys only remember his past kindness and help, and they don’t want to know whether Xiao Tang is still an official of the Song Dynasty. Since we help him in protecting If we have laid the foundation for a state, why doesn’t he seek fame and official status for us?
Although it is not clear what Xiao Tang wants, Yaoshi Guo can now realize that it is no longer possible for Xiao Tang to satisfy what Yaoshi Guo wants now.
Now Baozhou follows the example of the vassal town that was established during the Tang Dynasty. It has subordinate officials such as magistrates, magistrates, and promotion officials, as well as military commanders, camp Yuhou, military envoys and other official positions. But in the final analysis, we are all The so-called officials and generals of the shogunate are not officially appointed officials in any court of the Song Dynasty or Liao Dynasty. To put it harshly, this is not like being a grass-headed king in a small place. Randomly appointing some ministries and appointing them as heads of ministries. Has the leader ever become addicted?
Pharmacist Guo's expression gradually darkened at this time, and he secretly said: Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang, although you were kind to me at that time, I helped you lead the Han refugees in Liaodong, and I have not neglected the guarding side these days.
, I have repaid you for your great kindness. But I was in vain as the commander of the resentful army. Firstly, I could not be granted a title, and secondly, the situation in Liaodong was unpredictable, and you concealed it from the Song Dynasty court.
You who are secretly plotting evil, how long can you defend this Baozhou and several sea towns? The third goal of my life, Medicine Master Guo, is definitely not to be suffocated by a grass-headed king who prefers to live in a corner. My ambitions have been let down in vain.
...
After all, only those who understand current affairs are distinguished...
