1248 Cool things are stable
The discussion of Jiuxi was supposed to be an eye-catching topic, but it came to an abrupt end at the behest of General Shen and did not cause too many waves.
And without the jamming of this matter, the gonggong table presented to Jiangdong by Xingtai was also quickly released, and then sent to Jiankang quickly. Today's Jiankang Taicheng has long been the gate of the court is sparsely populated, and it is no longer the focus of attention of the times.
Although there are many people involved in this merit table, the basic rewards are also marked, and Jiankang Taicheng only has a copy of the approval. At most, in order to show the vastness of the emperor's grace, the reward will be raised a little higher, anyway, no matter how much money and food are in charge of the stage, they are also generous to others.
However, the Jiankang Imperial Court also had a difficulty, and the reason was also how difficult it was to arrange General Shen's conferral. Today's Shen Zhezi has reached the pole of the rank and official position, and even his wife, the eldest princess of Danyang, has given the special gift of "defending the country".
If the courtier's great merit cannot be awarded, this is also a very embarrassing topic, which means that the monarch has no gift and can only let the ministers break through the minister's qualifications. Although these Taiwanese ministers in Jiangdong are clearly cold benches, they can also "worship the monarch and defend the country" as comfort, if they can't even play this role, it is really completely meaningless.
Therefore, Taicheng was hotly discussed for a long time, and finally set his eyes on Shen Yu, the son of General Shen. Today's Shen Axiu Jue is the Duke of Qu'a County, which was originally a seal of his mother's yi, and now his fiefdom has increased slightly. But the most important point is the awarding of official positions, plus the rank of cavalry and the award of the captain of the Yue cavalry, the same as the three divisions, with the selection of wings.
After such a reward was sent back to Luoyang Xingtai, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but sigh again, the old guys were uneasy after all, and there were still occasional commotions.
He now has two sons under his knees, although Pu Sheng is a concubine, but there is no Yin Jue so far, Ah Xiu has been frequently awarded, and compared with brothers, it is inevitable to favor one over the other. If you talk about it deeply, it has a bit of the meaning of the mother's uncle supporting his nephew to make money, and it is more far-reaching, which is to urge Shen Zhe's heir to be determined early.
Now that Ah Xiu has just been enlightened, if he accepts these titles in full, the specifications are not even inferior to those of the sect kings of the close branches. What kind of supporters do such children need? It's nothing more than that the order of the stage has been completed, and children are used to fight for a place for those lonely families.
Speaking of which, this can be regarded as a kind of political foresight arrangement, and those old people in Jiangdong have also recognized that the Shen family's position is irreversible, and based on this judgment, they plan some future possibilities. But in the context of today's broad progress, it shows the pity of these people who are afraid to fight for the present.
To paraphrase some later concepts, that is, these old households in Jiangdong have become accustomed to the way of survival of political speculation and capital operation, and even if the opportunity to be based on reality and strive for it is in front of them, they are too lazy or afraid to fight for it.
After all, compared with the establishment of a career on the stage and the competition for merit in the field, playing with the drooping child can get the possibility of the salted fish turning over at some point in the future, and the safety is much greater. Moreover, such political speculation will not anger General Shen Da, who is in power, because it also means a statement that there may be a Shen family in the future, and their speculation can be rewarded accordingly.
Therefore, it is really not a thing to boast about that a family can prosper and inherit for a long time, at least it is not a positive philosophy of life.
Today's Shen Zhezi no longer has to be limited by these bad rules and customs, and there is no need to compromise with this kind of political wisdom. He was even more reluctant to let his sons get involved in this kind of world affairs too early, and Zhu Bi rejected Taicheng's overture: children are young, unselectable, indecent and vulgar, and dare not exceed the system.
The exchange with Taicheng is just an episode. After the New Year's greeting ceremony, in February of the New Year, the military intelligence of Longshang, including the envoys of Liangzhou, also arrived at Xingtai.
Knowing that the Liangzhou army and the Fenwu army confronted Longshang, and there was even a secret envoy Yi from Hu to intercept Wang Shi's entry into Longshang, the whole Xingtai was in an uproar, and the clamor for increasing troops in Longshang to crusade against the Zhang clan was endless, and even some small officials from Xingtai rushed straight to the official residence where the Liang envoy stayed, and drew their swords to strike its door post to demonstrate.
In previous years, Shen Zhezi could be called radical in Jiangdong, and he talked about the Northern Expedition killing Hu in daily life, sitting and lying. However, today's Heluo group of martial hawks are clamoring to send troops to fight against the unsubordinate, and in comparison, General Shen is slightly conservative.
Xingtai's immediate strategy was to restrain the Zhang clan politically, rather than actually use troops to cool the land. However, Zhang's move of driving Tu Geyi to intercept Wang Shi did make Shen Zhezi very dissatisfied, although the Liang envoy arrived at Xingtai and did not meet him immediately. As for the petty officials who went straight to the official residence to demonstrate, they were convicted of destroying the mansion and fined thousands of dollars for the doorposts.
The cool envoys were snubbed by this on the platform, and the sound of bullets outside the house was endless, which could be described as miserable. This situation lasted for more than half a month, and it was only after waiting for an interview with the officials of the Xingtai that they finally met.
Liangzhou sent an envoy to Xingtai this time, and the sincerity was not insufficient, and the state government's secretary, Sizhi, Sima and other high-ranking officials arrived. Under the structure of the Liangzhou Prefecture, the secretary is in charge of government affairs, Sima presides over the consultation, and supervises the officials. In other words, if the Zhang family has already been put in charge, these three subordinates are the so-called high-ranking officials such as the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries.
The person in charge of receiving the service on the stage was not a ceremonial official like Xie Shang, and he directly sent a military general like Han Huang, and before he could speak, the murderous aura came to his face.
The military generals negotiated with each other, naturally less than courtesy, the words were much more direct, and the conditions were also extremely harsh, and the opening was to order the Liangzhou army to completely withdraw from Longshang, and hand over all the Henan land occupied before to Wang Shi to take over.
Such a condition, the Liang envoys naturally could not accept it, not to mention that the land of Henan in Longshang was taken from Hu Lu by them with real swords and guns, and now the Liangzhou army still has a certain advantage in Longshang, even if Wang Shi has Chen Heavy Troops in the alliance under the city of Longshang, they do not dare to give up the land of Henan easily.
This meeting was destined to end unhappily, and it also directly crossed the bottom line of the cool envoys. Therefore, after this meeting, the Liang envoys did not wait for the stage to be summoned again, and most of them had already gone west and left Luoyang, with a posture of tearing their faces and preparing for battle.
Xingtai did not stop this, but stepped up the delivery of materials and soldiers to the west, and also had a big war posture. And this gesture is not fake, Yu Manzhi, who is far away in Fufeng County, Guanzhong, has already led the original Wang Shi soldiers and thousands of Guanzhong soldiers who have been reorganized to set foot on Longdao and enter Longxi.
The situation is so entangled for half a month, Liang envoy went and returned, and asked whether there was still room for forbearance, and directly showed the bottom line issued by the state proposition, that is, the Liangzhou army withdrew from Tianshui, with Longxi Didao as the boundary, and ruled Longshang with Wang Shi.
To be honest, such a condition is also very sincere, and it is a line agreed upon earlier on the stage. At present, the Wang Division did not completely occupy the power of Longshang, so the troops were sent to Longshang to ensure the stability of Guanzhong. If Luoyang, Tianshui, and part of Longxi are controlled, the strategic goal has been accomplished.
As for Nan'an, Caohan and other places in Longshang, some of the Zhang family have been in business for a long time, and some are full of mixed Hu forces, even if they are forced to start now, the gains outweigh the losses, and they have to disperse their energy to pacify the localities, which will greatly delay the pace of attacking Longnan Qiuchi and Hanzhong later.
However, Zhang's courage to put the resistance into reality made Xingtai have to improve Zhang's potential threat assessment, and the conditions are naturally more demanding.
Therefore, on the basis of the original, Xingtai also raised the boundary of the division and rule of Longshang, and the most important point is that Longxi Didao must be in the hands of Wang Shi. Di Dao is also known as Lintao, is an important wharf in the Taoshui Basin, Wang Shi mastered this place, once Liangzhou has a slight change, you can gather troops as quickly as possible, along the Taoshui westward or straight to the Henan fortress Caohan, or cross the river into Liangzhou proper.
Therefore, Di Dao's place has become the focus of dispute between the two parties, and for Wang Shi, this is a sharp sword in his hand to deter Liangzhou from daring to move. For Liangzhou, this is the forward position to prevent the Wang Division from attacking Liangzhou itself.
The two sides are still stuck here, but the pace of Wang Shi's increase in troops has not stopped, and even Xingtai has begun to issue county officials in Tianshui, Luoyang and other places to announce the naturalization of these realms. Although the main purpose of this move was not to fight the Liangzhou army, but to prepare for the later attack on Qiu Chi State, it also made the tense situation in Delong more and more severe.
Forced by the increasingly impatient wording of the letters in Liangzhou, the Liang envoys also changed their way of thinking about negotiations, and did not talk about the ownership of Di Dao, but asked them about the political treatment of Liangzhou.
Regarding this point, Shen Zhezi is much more heroic, he can probably understand the mood of Zhang Jun after being ashamed of himself, so he also opened a very high standard in terms of vacancy, directly gave Zhang Jun the title of lieutenant, and awarded the title of Lianggong with Liangzhou himself.
In addition, in order to exchange Di Dao, in addition to Zhang Jun's original official title, he was also given the post of the Great Governor of Anxi, and in addition to ruling Hexi, all the realms of the Western Regions were also subject to his conquest. But in addition to this, in addition to the Zhang family's change to the Jin Zuo era name and calendar, all the prefectures and counties in the realm must be abolished.
With such a famous arrangement, Xingtai can be regarded as full of sincerity, so that Zhang Jun must live in front of the general regardless of the official title, which can be regarded as an official recognition of the fact that the Zhang family has a monopoly on Hexi, and it is no longer like Zhang Mao said when he was dying that the official is not the king's order and the position is privately discussed. Of course, this is not comparable with the light award of Han Zhao and Shi Zhao Wangjue, and it is impossible for Xingtai to be awarded by Wangjue.
For these conditions issued by Xingtai, the Liang envoys did not dare to respond to them, and sent people to quickly report back to Liangzhou. So, after being entangled for more than half a year, it came to an end as Zhang Jun sent his heir Zhang Chonghua into the country to present his seals, books, treasures, good horses and receive official titles, and Liangzhou returned to the king.
At the same time, the Liangzhou army in Longshang also began to shrink westward, until it retreated to Caohan in Henan, while Wang's division continued to advance westward, reaching the end of Didao in Longxi. But this does not mean that the two sides will let go of their previous suspicions, and want to save each other's garrison troops in Longshang from suspicion and vigilance, and there is still a finishing touch to be done.
