Chapter 119: Water Master
Today is an extraordinary day in Yecheng, soon after the opening of the new city, Yang Tong, the king of Qin, defeated Li Tang with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai and recovered the entire territory of the state...... Two happy events came one after another, and the two joys complemented each other, so that the superstitious ancients felt that this was a great omen, and everyone was full of confidence in the future.
Yecheng, which is not forbidden tonight, is very lively, as if it is the New Year. Pedestrians on the streets are smiling, and occasionally neighbors gather to enjoy the shade and chat.
But in general, the content of the chat cannot avoid the victory of the Sui army, as well as the memories of his past, the satisfaction of the present, and the vision of a better future. All in all, Yecheng on this day was full of vitality and vigor.
The beautiful and joyful atmosphere blew with the night breeze to the back garden of Shenwu Palace.
Ichiju Gyoen!
Wei Fengwu, Shui Tianji, and the eldest grandson Wujian sisters gathered together to chat, and listened to the second Shui Tianji talk about the war in Hedong County!
Shui Tianji is very eloquent, making the eldest and third laugh from time to time.
Xiao Wu and the changed Wujian miss their husbands very much, but they also know that the celebration banquet will not end in a while.
Xiao Wu knew that every time her husband came back from the expedition, he would have a family banquet with his family after the feast, and ordered someone to prepare good wine and food early, just waiting for her husband to come in the evening.
Who knew that the three of them waited in the Xiahui Palace of the family of four until midnight and did not see Yang Dong's figure, Xiao Wu had some doubts in her heart, and asked the personal palace maid Chuyue: "What about Your Highness?" Drunk? β
Chu Yue happened to come back from the Chaotian Palace, learned about the situation, and replied truthfully: "Your Highness and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs are discussing the Chaoyang Hall next to the Chaotian Palace......
"That's ......" Xiao Wu thought for a while, and then asked, "Do you know when His Highness will come back?" β
Chu Yue shook her head and said, "The slave and maid don't know, I only know that Your Highness and the ministers are very happy... His Royal Highness discussed matters with his ministers, and never allowed his subordinates to approach. β
Xiao Wu nodded understandingly: "Okay, I know, I told the imperial chef to cook some more meals and send them over with the table!" Make more meat, the generals love this. β
"Whoa!"
β¦
Midnight!
The Chaoyang Hall is brightly lit,
After agreeing on a series of official systems in the Northern Sui Dynasty, Yang Tong exchanged views with many civil and military officials on the current situation.
The military generals thought that the battle of Bingzhou was too easy, and the army did not suffer much damage, so they should take the Liang division capital in Guannei Province west of the Yellow River, or go south to the Central Plains and Qingzhou.
Wenchen believes that the merger of the state has just begun, the people's hearts have not yet been attached, and the new policy has violated the interests of many large, medium and small families, although these people dare not speak out, but if there are hostile elements to rebel, they will swarm up, and the top priority is to seize a place to govern a place and stabilize a place as before! The result of excessive exploitation will definitely follow Li Yuan's old path. In addition, if it is too strong, it is easy for all the princes to rise up and attack it, and with the current strength, the Northern Sui is not enough.
Combining the advantages and disadvantages, Yang Tong chose stability!
"Emperor Wu has such wealth left by Emperor Wen, but because of excessive overdraft of the people's power, the world is in chaos! A lesson from the past, a teacher of the future! Now I have been based in Jizhou for less than two years, although it is said that the people's hearts are attached, but the foundation is not stable, and the trauma of the war is especially there, and the annexation of the state is needless to say, this is a new territory, forcibly promoting various systems, it will inevitably lead to small-scale riots, and there must be an army. After a year and a half, the people of Bingzhou will adapt to and agree with our policy, and even if some people are restless, they will not be able to pull a large-scale army, and there will be no more than one county to destroy. If we move troops again and again, it will only evoke people's unbearable memories, which is not good for the country and the people! β
"Recuperation is the theme of a year or two! Civil officials do their best to develop the people's livelihood, rectify the rule of officials, and accumulate money and food! Military generals read military books intensively, train military attachΓ©s, train elite soldiers, and strictly enforce military discipline. Fighting, I'm afraid I won't have a chance? As long as we have male soldiers in our hands, we can use the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai to level the anti-king at any time. β
"Yes!" All the civil and military forces should be banged.
Yang Tong looked at Zhang Zhenzhou and said: "All along, I have planned to form a water division, but since I established myself in Jizhou, I have hardly stopped the war, and I have no skills; The most important thing is that there is no one who can command the naval army to fight...... General Zhang has served in Zhou Fashang, Lai Hu'er, and Chen Ling, the three heroes on the water, and has also led the sailors to fight alone many times! From now on, General Zhang will be the chief general of the navy, responsible for the formation, recruitment, training, and command of the navy! All the warships from Jiangdu will train you in the navy. β
Zhang Zhenzhou was not famous at this time, but he shone in the Tang Dynasty in history. In Li Tang's many battles to pacify Xiao Milling and capture Fugongyi, he played a pivotal role. And Zhang Zhenzhou is also commendable in the world. Because of his great achievements, Zhang Zhenzhou was appointed by Li Yuan as the governor of Shuzhou, which is the hometown of Shuzhou, and relatives and friends are all over the city and countryside.
On the day Zhang Zhenzhou returned to the state, he took off his official uniform, and then ordered someone to buy good wine and food, entertain relatives and friends in his former residence, reminisce about the old days for ten days, and then distribute all the property obtained by his military exploits to relatives and friends, and said: "We are friends now, tomorrow I Zhang Zhenzhou is an official of the Tang Dynasty in Shuzhou, if relatives and friends break the law, I will exercise the mission of an official, and I will not show favoritism to anyone." Just as he said loudly, after taking office, he strictly abided by the law to govern Shuzhou. He cares about the weal and woe of the broad masses of the people and never favors relatives, does not engage in personal gain, and does not follow feelings. Under his rule, the post-war order in Shuzhou was quickly stabilized, and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment.
This incident was also recorded in the children's enlightenment book "Dragon Wen Whip Shadow", which became a model for educating future generations.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness! The minister will never live up to the trust of His Royal Highness. Zhang Zhen Zhou got Yang Tong so much that he was very excited to salute.
"The naval military port is located in Bohai County, and the Ministry of Industry must build it in the shortest possible time, build a large shipbuilding workshop near the military port, and recruit skilled craftsmen who are good at shipbuilding to build warships. At the same time, the Tiangongyuan has made every effort to design new, larger, more stable, faster and safer warships. β
gave a task to the Ministry of Industry, and Yang Tong explained to Yang Shidao, the squire of the Ministry of Civil Affairs: "Money, people, and things, give priority to the navy." β
"Whoa!"
Jiang Xingben and Yang Shidao got up and responded.
Zhang Zhenzhou was excited when he saw that Yang Tong attached so much importance to the navy, and at the same time, he also felt that he had a great responsibility, and said: "Your Highness, the minister wants a few people, please ask Your Highness for permission." β
"Please!" Yang Tong smiled.
Zhang Zhen Zhou said: "Zhou Shaozu, the second son of General Zhou Fashang, the fifth son of General Hu'er comes to Hong, and the sixth son comes to rectify!" β
Yang Tong said loudly: "Accurate! β
Laihu'er has a total of twelve sons, and in the Jiangdu Change, there are eight people who died at the same time as their father Laihu'er! Even Lai Yuan, who had participated in Yang Xuangan's rebellion, died in the eastern suburbs of Jiangdu. The fifth Laihong, the sixth Laiheng, the eleventh Laiheng, the old Laiji and Zhang Zhenzhou were responsible for answering and escorting Xiaohou, and they escaped by luck.
Come to the family, and finally live up to Sui, showing loyalty!
