"The morning rain in Weicheng is lightly dusty, and the guesthouses are green and willows are new. I urge you to drink another glass of wine. There will be no old friends when you leave Yangguan in the west."
Standing on the roof of the Qingxin Temple in Weicheng's Wannian County Shenheyuan, looking at the vast Qin land, I felt quite uncomfortable thinking about the several contacts I had with Zhong Shidao during his lifetime.
The relationship between myself, him, and the Western Army behind him is very complicated.
He was the benefactor who single-handedly saved them. In history, the Western Army was dismantled by the civil service group of the imperial court. When the Jin soldiers came, Zhong Shidao only had 15,000 men in his hands, so he went to Bianliang King Qin.
.
They had no pay for three years, and they solved it by themselves. Tong Guan oppressed the people of Qinlong, and he saved them by himself.
He also married Zhong Shidao's granddaughter, which was considered an alliance in a sense.
However, he also mercilessly suppressed the general family of the Western Army and restricted their power tightly. The Zhe family is still a wealthy man in Mizhou and has completely withdrawn from the stage of the northwest.
From top to bottom, although the Western Army also had the intention of forming a vassal town, in addition to losing families and paying gold, the performance of several other families during the Jingkang catastrophe was still commendable.
Yang Lin's emotions towards the Western Army were very complicated, but he still admired Zhong Shidao very much.
Veteran general, dying on the battlefield can be considered a kind of consolation.
Several bells rang in the distance, and a Taoist priest bowed respectfully and said, "Uncle Chiyang Master, Mr. Zhong Xianggong has entered the tomb."
Yang Lin nodded and walked down, ready to bow to the veteran.
After taking back Yunnei, the entire territory of the Song Dynasty had regained some of the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The next thing to do is to concentrate on eliminating the shortcomings of this huge empire bit by bit.
I don’t have much confidence either, so I’m just crossing the river by feeling for the stones, step by step.
The first step is to re-build the defense lines of Youyun Sixteen Provinces.
With the sudden end of the war, a lot of supplies will be transported here, which will be used to rebuild Yunnei.
Those scholars who were tricked by him happened to participate in this huge project after transporting supplies, and received much greater training than just transporting goods.
Participating in the reconstruction of a place, many of the things they have to face when they are officials can witness its process from scratch, which is a great benefit for them.
In front of Zhong's cemetery, there was a sea of people, and many people from Weicheng also came.
More than two hundred people from the Zhong family army died fighting for this piece of land. Among the many families of generals in the northwest, they have the best reputation.
People like Zhong Fang and Zhong Shiheng were themselves profound Confucian scholars, and their family traditions had always been very upright.
On both sides of the huge banner is an elegiac couplet written by Yang Lin:
Ping Xixia collected the clouds, and everyone in the court was called the famous general of Lao Qin.
Xuan Qingjian is the Qingtian of Shaanxi, and all the people who care about Qinfeng say it is
Yang Lin took Lu Wang and Hua Rong forward to bow and worship, and then walked aside.
The seed master brought his nephew with him and said, "The fact that the young master is here is enough to comfort my brother."
"The old man has worked hard and achieved great results. I will report it to the emperor to ensure that he is granted the title of a county king."
Master Zhong's face became even more sad, and he whispered: "Thank you, Shao Zai."
"Yes, you should also take care of your health, be sad and accept the changes. There are still a lot of things to do next, and we have to work hard."
Several young nephews and nephews, as well as the current third generation of the Zhong family standing behind them, all said yes.
At this point, the Zhong family is extremely noble. What else is there to fight for? Although the Zhong family has made the greatest contribution, they have never had the idea of breaking up the soil. From the beginning to the end, they have been working hard for the Song Dynasty. Why should they fight with the Zhe family and the Yang family?
They were mixed together and stained the lintel.

Yang Shaozai personally wrote an article and published it in Di Bao, calling on scholars and scholars to participate in the reconstruction of Yunnei.
Three consecutive editions of the General Administration Department contained articles praising these measures. Bai Shizhong, the chief prime minister under Zhongshu's sect, personally wrote that this was: Rebuilding the old screen vassal of the Han family.
The scholar who had just been deceived, followed his example and left the house, thought that the mission had been completed after being transported to Yunnei, and he was still a little disappointed in his heart.
Immediately, a new goal came again, to rebuild the old Pingfan of the Han family. Just hearing it made people excited.
Most of the scholars expressed their willingness to stay in Yunnei, especially some students from poor families, who unexpectedly found that they were paid for whatever they did.
These people stayed in Yunnei and set up academies in various places to teach the local people.
It has been more than a hundred years since this place was ceded...
No Yunnei people were ever subjects of the Han dynasty, and they were born as Liao people.
Countless scholars rolled up their sleeves and started to work hard. Soon they understood that after the temporary passion subsided, this work was quite difficult...
Behind them, there were many impatient scholars who were rushing over.
Of course, some people do enjoy it. You cannot teach sages by sitting at home and reading books about sages.
Yang Shaozai’s Yang Xue means that all living beings can become saints.
Yang Lin, who issued this call, was currently enjoying a hot spring bath in Chang'an City, Jingzhao Prefecture.
Within a month, the days of running around as soon as I opened my eyes were finally over, and I no longer had to endure those tortures.
The heat was steaming, and Yang Lin, who was soaking in the pool, held a handwritten book and flipped through the pages.
Beside him were the four leaders of Dangxiang Qiqiang. They were ordered to withdraw to Xiazhou and Yinzhou and came to see Yang Lin on the way.
The scroll in Yang Lin's hand is a description of the customs and customs of the Karakhan Dynasty and the current business routes of the Western Regions. It is relatively detailed and easy to understand.
Su Kenye smiled and said: "Young Zai, the Western Region Protectorate has been established for so long and we haven't seen a single barbarian resist. You can rest assured."
Yang Lin chuckled in his heart, they Qiang people have already classified themselves as Han people.
In their minds, those Karakhanids have become barbarians, which is a good thing.
However, Yang Lin did not believe that there was no resistance from the Hu people. The black man Song Jiang was in the Western Regions with a group of soldiers from all ethnic groups in the northwest. He was not ruthless.
However, the Karakhanids were not happy with their retribution. They invaded and enslaved the Khotan Dynasty, and their methods were even more vicious.
The people of Khotan believed in Buddhism, but Karakhan was Islamic. After these people defeated Khotan, they massacred, looted, and burned temples in the royal capital.
At that time, the young and beautiful ladies and nuns from Khotan were all tied up with ropes like herding sheep, and they were sold on the streets in the market.
Almost all the temples in Khotan were bulldozed, and the Karakhanites were still shitting and urinating on the heads of the Buddha statues. They were dragging the monks one by one to have their own god chop off the hands and then the feet if they refused to worship them.
head.
These are all written in detail in the book, which made Yang Lin feel sick to his stomach.
Yang Lin looked at the four smiling Qiang leaders and knew that their docility was only in front of him. In the Western Region, their methods were not much worse than those of the Karakhanites, and many were even worse.
But to completely suppress the Western Regions, these obedient and ruthless people are needed. Their foundation is under their control. Countless Qiang people live in Yinzhou and Xiazhou, and they are almost the same as the local Han people.
Their people, the source of their power, are in their own hands. As long as Yinzhou and Xiazhou are in their hands, they are more obedient than dogs. And Yinzhou and Xiazhou are both surrounded by Han forces and have not established their own
system possibilities.
With his arms bare, Yang Lin took a handful of spring water and poured it on his face. He waved gently, and the four leaders immediately came closer.
"I don't want to see big turmoil. Everything else doesn't matter. But in two years at most, the imperial court needs a stable Western Region and a group of obedient people."
The four leaders knelt down on one knee and said, "Don't worry, Young Master."
As soon as Shaozai said these words, he and others would have a two-year death-free gold medal if they guarded the talismans in the Western Regions. Don't go too far and suppress them no matter what.
The ring of the ring was ringing softly, and seven Qiang women came in carrying various soap bars, towels, and clothes. These were carefully selected by the seven Qiang tribes in Hengshan. Their appearance was extremely beautiful, and their figures were even more tempting.
What's more important is that they are all fourteen or fifteen years old, youthful and charming.
Yang Lin winked, and the four leaders smiled knowingly and left the bathroom together. Don't miss Yeli and closed the door sensibly.
