Chapter 912: Guan Long's Ghost
"The last general (lower official) and others greet Su Dacao and the military aircraft ......"
Outside the Jingzhao Mansion, on the official road next to the official pavilion, a group of generals in full robes and robes, the civil officials of the Jingzhao Mansion and the officials subordinate to the Shaanxi Road Transfer Envoy, all stood in shifts, and all the instruments were passed, welcoming Su Chi and Wu Haogu who came down from horseback. On this occasion, Su Chi and Wu Haogu put on the regular clothes of officials, put on long-legged heads, and with every step, the two narrow yarn wings trembled slightly. These two civil and military officials, who are not very old, but they are already extremely popular ministers, are all graceful, they both clasped their hands and fists, and they have always returned the salute to everyone who greeted them.
In the Great Song Dynasty, although the status of civil officials was high, they did not mess up the dignity and inferiority of officialdom on the bright side. According to the rules of the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wu Haogu's current status as a military attache is not qualified to let a few courtier-level civil officials greet them (with Su Chi here, they still have to come to greet them, but there will be no words to "welcome the military aircraft") - of course, the bannermen and military attaches of the Qing Dynasty are exceptions.
Compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Song Dynasty's Yiwen Yuwu has not yet developed to the peak. Otherwise, Gao Yu would not be able to be the three-way Xuanfu, Tong Guan would not be able to control Shuofang all the way, and Wu Haogu would not be able to be the envoy of the coastal city. Under these officials, there are still many civil officials of no lower rank who are obeying orders!
So today, Wu Haogu and Su Chi arrived together, and the civil and military officials stationed in Jingzhao Mansion, except for Li Kui (Li Gang's father), who was appeased by Yongxing Military Road, did not come out to greet them due to his identity, and the rest of the civil and military officials who could be called went out of the city to greet the two of them together. And the etiquette used is quite grand.
After all, it is a very sensitive moment for the entire Shaanxi Sixth Road. The western thieves seem to be really obedient, and now the Hexi army is gathering in Guasha and the two states, and they are about to attack Anxi. Shaanxi Sixth Road, no matter what, will no longer cause military trouble.
In addition, now Shaanxi Sixth Road is not a border land, and there is an additional Shuofang Road in the north of Shaanxi Sixth Road, which is a border land.
Therefore, the Western Army is no longer a border army, and the Six Route Pacification Envoys are no longer border commanders - isn't Shaanxi still able to use 200,000 Western Army and six pacification envoys in the border area? The cost of a year is astronomical! Not only the livelihood of the people in Shaanxi is exhausted, but even the nearby Sichuan, Hedong, and Jingxi roads are not peaceful, and they are tired of transshipment and transportation.
Now in Da'an, the northwest of China, the imperial court naturally wants to let the people of Shaanxi rest and recuperate, how can it be possible to maintain the six-way pacification envoy and 200,000 western troops?
And these 200,000 Western troops did not play a decisive role in the war to subdue the Western Xia!
Therefore, the Western Army has been worried for the past two years, and I don't know what the imperial court will do with these veterans who have worked hard for a lot, but the credit is not very great.
In the past two years, there have been several generals in the Western Army, who hasn't had long ears, eyes staring far away, and all their minds on the court?
Although they didn't fight very fiercely, they still had some capital in their hands, and they could play a game with the imperial court. So I found all kinds of reasons, and went through a lot of doors, and finally resisted not being transferred to the Baibo camp in Luoyang - the Western Army is all snakes, if you really leave Shaanxi, it will be a tiger without minions, and anyone can bully it.
However, the imperial court also had a way to clean up the western army, which was to reduce the supply of food and salary, and reduce the number of people who could be transferred to officials and subsidized by shadows. Originally, when the western thieves were prosperous, the western army was simply the heart of the official family, there was no shortage of military salaries, and the rewards were continuous, and the archers on the edge were issued official land, exempted from taxation and servitude. For the generals of the Western Army, they are even more enveloped, and many of the generals who were born in the gate have been given an official.
And now, the big guy's life is so miserable! So much so that many generals of the Western Army are missing the Western Thieves - why did these Western thieves call Gao Yu, Wu Haogu, and Tong Guan to be defeated? Why can't it last a few more years?
It's a pity that the thief can't think of it. However, the number one henchman of today's official family, Du Junji Wu Haogu and Su Chi, the eldest son of the current prime minister, came together!
No one is stupid, how come they don't know what Wu Haogu and Su Chi are here for?
That Su Chi is okay, although he is the son of the prime minister, he will definitely be a celebrity who will be the prime minister in the future, but after all, he has not shown any means.
But Wu Haogu is different...... He is a general on the same level as Gao Yu and Tong Guan, and he also has a lot of credit for pacifying the Western Thieves! Moreover, he is also a scholar of the positivist school, and also founded the Jiehe Knight Academy, the Kaifeng Bujun Academy and the Haizhou Sailor School. People not only have the means, but also the talents available, and the money.
In addition, within the Western Army, there are also many people who have a great relationship with Wu Haogu because of their sons and nephews......
Therefore, the generals of the Western Army wearing military attache uniforms today came up with a smile on their faces and came up to be close to the martial arts.
"Brother Chongdao has worked hard, we have already prepared a banquet, but please come and ......"
"Brother Chongdao, Xiazhou has been separated for many years, and I can see you today, I must not get drunk and not return!"
"Is the military plane here to select knights for the official family? Was the chosen knight to march west against the Uighurs under Gao Xuanshuai? If I wait for such a commander of the army, will I have the opportunity to go to the battlefield again and die for the official family? ”
Some people who have a little friendship with Wu Haogu are desperately trying to build relationships there, and those who feel a little brave want to go to the battlefield of Anxi to fight again.
Wu Haogu actually has an opinion, but it is not suitable to say it on the official road - this matter has to be summoned by the six main generals and discussed carefully behind closed doors. After talking, I will exchange views with Gao Yu and Tong Guan. After gaining their support, he can play with Su Chi, Gao Yu, and Tong Guan.
Of course, Wu Haogu now has a name for going to Shuofang and Lingzhou to inspect. The official Zhao Ji still wants him to cheer for Gao Ji, who is a master of high merit!
Zhao Ji has already spoken, he doesn't learn from Emperor Yizu to engage in a cup of wine to release military power. So Gao Yu can rest assured that he will have troops in Lingzhou!
If Hexi can be recovered in the future, then he will also serve as the pacification envoy of Hexi Road, and the official family absolutely believes in him...... Such a good official probably has nowhere to find it with a lantern, so he should work harder to repay it.
……
"High defense, how many heroes can the Western Army pull out now who can ride horses?"
The engine room of the Shaanxi Sixth Route General Army is located in the yamen of the Yongxing Military Road Soldiers and Horses in Jingzhaofu City, occupying several large courtyards. Gao Yongnian, the current head of the Yongxing Army's road and horses, has long been cleaned up, and he has also been equipped with soldiers and miscellaneous servants. Wu Haogu didn't come alone, he took Guo Xiaoxiao and Bai Feifei as usual, and after washing and changing clothes under the service of the two women, he didn't go to the lobby of the General Manager of the Soldiers and Horses to go to the banquet, but found a clean house, put fragrant tea, and found Gao Yongnian to discuss secretly.
Hearing Wu Haogu's question, Gao Yongnian pondered and replied respectfully: "There are strong men in the Western Army who can fight on horseback. However, not all of these strong men occupy the rank of the forbidden army, many of them are utility soldiers of various families, and some are archers...... The total number should be between 5,000 and 10,000, but it is not easy for military aircraft to use them, after all, these people are the foundation of each family. ”
In fact, Gao Yongnian is just saying, if Wu Haogu really wants to poach people from the generals of the Western Army, will he not be able to dig them up? He has money, officials and land, why are those generals fighting with him?
However, Wu Haogu is a good talker, and he doesn't care about a feudal situation in Shaanxi, it doesn't matter if you are Guan Long or a samurai, as long as you can block all kinds of tartars.
Hearing that there were 5,000-10,000 people, Wu Haogu smiled faintly: "It's a lot!" After a little reorganization, you can go to the northwest again. This is an opportunity to make a contribution, are you not tempted at all? ”
Gao Yongnian just nodded yes, of course his heart moved...... But that's also the cost! If it is really handed over, what will each family do in the future? Even if you release the military power with a glass of wine, you have to give enough benefits.
Is the house in Kaifeng ready to be built? How much fertile land is there? Can each family enjoy the treatment of the veteran and marry with the heavenly family?
Of course, Wu Haogu understood what Gao Yongnian meant, and he smiled and said, "Defense, the reorganization of the Western Army is a foregone conclusion...... There is nothing to say about this, now there is no war in Shaanxi, but the Western Army has 200,000, how can it be maintained?
Of course, the court will not unload the mill and kill the donkey. You can rest assured about this...... Title deeds, title deeds, official positions, etc., there will be all that should be there. Not only are the generals above beneficial, but the ordinary generals below, as long as the elite can fight, will also arrange a way out. And this power will also be controlled by the generals! The official family believes in you, and when the Northern Expedition to Yanyun is carried out in the future, it will depend on you. ”
"Military aircraft," Gao Yongnian looked at Wu Haogu, who was dozens of years younger than himself, but had done a lot in his career, "Can you say it explicitly?" What is the way out? ”
"How is Guan Long?" Wu Haogu said lightly.
"Off...... Long!? ”
Of course, Gao Yongnian knew that "Guan Long" referred to the famous Guan Long in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui and Tang dynasties!
"Military aircraft," Gao Yongnian paused, "What you said is true?" The official family thinks, do you want the Western Army to turn the gate into Guan Longxungui? ”
Wu Haogu smiled: "How can the official family think so?" ”
No matter how big Zhao Ji's heart is, he can't allow Guanlong Group to be born under his nose.
"That ......" Gao Yongnian was a little confused.
Wu Hao Gu said: "It's just that Su Xianggong wants to teach Tianfu soldiers, and he also wants to establish a system of squire-villagers-township militia, and he also wants to open a township school and make a township contract...... In short, it is the number of roads for the squire to resist the village soldiers, and there are also the benefits of the military government granting official land and tax reduction. Defense, do you say this is the same as the early Guan Long? ”
Gao Yongnian thought for a while and nodded silently: "It's really a little similar...... If it can really be implemented, each family will have a foundation, and they will continue to serve the country in the future! ”
"Whether it can be implemented depends on the rules," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "Defense, I bother you to send someone to call Jingzhao Mansion for everyone who has the final say, and talk to them face to face." ”
