Chapter 686: Mountains and Forests

Jiang Qing laughed in his heart, thinking to himself, do you really think of yourself as the crown prince? However, Wang Ju instructed that you have to be open and honest, otherwise you will leave a bad tail for the future, Jiang Qing still patiently explained: "Da Shizi, Shaobao may not have plotted against you Dali at the beginning, and even if you have this idea, you may not be able to implement it." Do you understand the difference between the two? Let me make another analogy, when you Dali is strong to a certain point, do you want to use soldiers to fight your toes? Do you want to use the Central Plains? Just like my dynasty, do you want to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun? It's one thing to think, it's another to execute. ”

Jiang Qing said this, which is indeed very confusing.

However, if Dali is united, united, and light-hearted, just like Dali written by Jin Dada, like a paradise, then the people will inevitably support, how can Wang Ju use soldiers in Dali?

"So at the beginning, Shaobao's bottom line was to let you Dali be a vassal to our court and establish a primary-secondary relationship, so as to make the barbarians in the border area stable, which is also the reason why Huang Yuzhi went to Dali City with you, and finally agreed to join forces with the Yetho Department. But on that ugly night in the cave room, this opportunity was lost...... Why? is not only a woman's tragic end, but Shaobao can't really be a woman, impulsively using soldiers. It means that the attitude of your Dali people is high-minded, arrogant, and unruly, even if your Duan clan will be a minister, these tribes will still despise our dynasty. ”

"That's not ......"

"Do you mean to do as the locals do? I won't say anything else, if you Duan clan has a princess and a county lord marrying an ordinary person, will you follow the customs? Therefore, Shaobao soldiers attacked the barbarians, but I didn't expect your so-called strongest barbarian army in Dali. But that's it. Just ask. Why didn't Shaobao have the idea of having a vested Long and looking back at Shu? Know this allusion? ”

"Yes."

This does not refer to Cao Cao's Delongwangshu, but to the Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu's Delongwangshu.

Jiang Qing suddenly had a ridiculous idea in his heart, I don't know if Shao Bao can compare with Emperor Guangwu? This one...... Even if Wang Ju has big fingers, he is not as good as Emperor Guangwu.

And a king, a minister, can't be compared.

But it shows that in Jiang Qing's heart, Wang Ju's status is so high.

The front is flickering. The back is real, vested Long, and regained Shu.

"It's easy to destroy your Dali, and it's the most difficult to govern smoothly in the future, but after Yang Yizhen's rebellion, although it will be difficult to govern in the future, it won't be so difficult that it's scary, I say this, do you care? As long as there are few guarantees and light punishments, even if there are rebellions, there will not be many. But Shao Bao wants to govern the area. I also didn't want to have much bloody fighting and suppression, so Shao Bao sent me and waited. Try to save you. ”

"If we defect to the Gao family, will Shaobao use troops against us?" Duan Zhengchun asked on the side.

"What do you say? You defect to the Gao family, and we will definitely send you to the Gao family safely, but the original affection has disappeared here, and once you become a passerby, you are an enemy. Jiang Qing said unceremoniously.

"Don't say it, we are willing to go to Shaobao."

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation." Jiang Qing said with satisfaction, and then pouted.

The two scribes took a small burden from their horses.

To the southeast is the southeast line, and to the northeast is the northeast line. The group immediately changed into the hunter's outfit.

After waiting for a long time, Jiang Qing's three subordinates escaped from the city.

In order to cause a sensation and attract the attention of the soldiers at the city gate, the beating just now was very severe.

There were many beggars on the other side, and all three of them suffered a lot, all of them were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and their bodies were bruised, but fortunately, there were no fatal injuries.

But the group was happy, anyway, it was too dangerous in the city.

Everyone rested for a while and set off in a northeast direction.

It was mostly mountainous, and the two scribes said, "Please wait a moment. ”

Then he rode out on horseback, and came back after a while, and then he gave each man a bow and arrow, and a sword.

The group entered the vast mountain and forest area, and Jiang Qing said again: "Everyone try not to disperse. ”

Compared with later generations, there are more wild animals now, just like the South China tiger that disappeared in later generations, and I don't know how many there are in the Song Dynasty now.

Therefore, there are many hunters, that is, the kind of people who do not do farming and production, and specialize in hunting for a living, and the wildlife resources of Dali are more abundant than those of the Song Dynasty, so a group of people just entered the mountains and forests, and they encountered a crisis, and a group of wild elephants were drinking water by the stream.

"Get around," said one of them.

Although these big creatures are not the most feared animals, they are also headache animals, and if they are provoked, even if they are tigers, they will not die. Not only Dali, but also Guangnan, the most hated by the people, is not that they eat people, but that they think they are giants, often come out of the mountains and forests, and spoil the people's crops.

Several people carefully bypassed the herd of wild elephants, and soon one of them said, "Second son, be careful. ”

As he spoke, he slashed down a turquoise-colored, well-camouflaged poisonous snake.

Duan Zhengchun was still relatively young, so his eyes were moist again.

This Jiang Qing can understand that a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, with fine clothes and fine food, has suffered so much. He comforted: "The beast is not terrible, but it is the human heart that is terrible." Fortunately, you chose Shaobao, if you choose the Gao family, although they are all avenues, but we want to escort you to the Gao family safely, then it is called a difficult journey. ”

Duan Zhengming nodded, then took Duan Zhengchun's hand and patted it comfortingly.

This move made Jiang Qing appreciate it very much.

He said: "The most difficult thing is this road, when we get to Huazhubu (Yuanmou County), the Yang family's control is poor, at that time we can buy a few horses, not from the main road, but from the small road to ride straight to Dongchuan County." ”

But it is not easy, from Dali to Huazhubu for more than 400 miles, several people have walked for nearly ten days, and they have not yet reached Huazhubu, and they are still drilling around in the mountains and forests.

When night came, Jiang Qing took a few of his subordinates and went out for a long time, called two pheasants, and also hit a peacock.

The three pheasants were stripped of their feathers, salted, and roasted on the fire.

"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, oh, forgot, your Dali New Year festival is the Sangkan Bimai Festival in March." Jiang Qing said.

"Dali also celebrates New Year's Day." Duan Zhengming said.

However, Dali is not so cautious about the New Year's Day, in fact, in the Song Dynasty, the New Year's Day is not as lively as the Lantern Festival. Sangkan Bimai is just the pronunciation of the locals, the original form of Songkran, but there is no Songkran yet, just this New Year's Festival.

But in general, there is not much difference between the customs of Dali and the Song Dynasty, especially the Baiman, except for a slight dialect pronunciation, the rest can almost be regarded as Han Chinese.

"Zongzheng, you seem to be from the Central Plains."

"I'm not from the Central Plains, I'm from Qianzhou on Jiangnan West Road," Jiang Qing replied.

"Why did you come to Dali?"

"I didn't come to Dali, but Shaobao's subordinates, according to the news from Shaobao, the Yang family may make a move, and they may kill your Duan family's people, so Shaobao deliberately asked us to rescue you." Jiang Qing said.

Actually, Duan Zhengming means to ask why you help Wang Ju do things?

In fact, not only him, but also many literati, Wang Ju originally recruited mostly stewards and various economic people, but there are more migrants, and it is necessary to increase management talents.

Therefore, Wang Ju successively sent people to recruit thousands of literati, most of whom were literati who did not even pass the examination, anyway, the Song Dynasty did not know how many scholars, and most of them were bitter students, these people migrated and left, and the court would not pay attention. Wang Ju's requirements are also relatively simple, it doesn't matter what he does, just be literate, if he is not bad at arithmetic, it is better, and the other requirements are mainly shrewd and strong, loyalty, and then appointed one after another.

Some scribes really can't do it after actual training, so they become professors in various schools, and it's always okay to be teachers.

Some have proven themselves and have been reused one after another, and some are still continuing to prove themselves, but Jiang Qing belongs to the former, and it is precisely because of his cleverness that he has been entrusted with this important task.

Jiang Qing definitely didn't want to say this.

Duan Zhengming didn't ask deeply, but said, "I don't know what's going on outside?" ”

"I don't know," Jiang Qing replied.

Anyway, it's definitely going on outside, and it's going on upside down.

At this time, a tiger roar came from the mountain forest.

Several people stared nervously at the direction of the tiger's roar, Dali also has tigers and leopards, but the tigers are slightly smaller than those in the north. However, everyone also doesn't want to collide with this dangerous big guy, they don't have Li Jixuan's martial arts (a famous general in the early Song Dynasty, Shaanzhou tigers are seriously affected, seventeen-year-old Li Jixuan went to Shaanzhou, killed more than 20 tigers, captured two tigers and one leopard, dedicated to Zhao Kuangyin, and was so fierce that it was a mess).

Jiang Qing discerned it and said: "It's okay, the tiger has a tiger's territory, and if it's far away, it won't come here." ”

Duan Zhengming suddenly asked: "Dali is far from the Song Dynasty." ”

Although Dali is relatively closed, it is not like Jiaozhi, which invaded the Song Dynasty.

Jiang Qing said: "That's true, but you Dali is not a Zhancheng, and the country that occupies the city is very small and not very harmful. However, your Dali area is vast, but your Duan clan does not act, once there is a hero in control of Dali, no one can guarantee that there will be no more harm to Nanzhao. ”

Duan Zhengming was speechless.

Nanzhao's two invasions of Bashu did bring great harm to the people of Bashu.

"Da Shizi, do you understand? The main reason is that Dali is a big country, and the Song Dynasty is the closest. But please rest assured, Shaobao will not treat Jiaozhi to deal with your Dali, why, Jiaozhi people have a cruel personality, slaughtering the city and slaughtering people at every turn, not only the Yongzhou tragedy, but also the massacre in the territory of Zhancheng. Therefore, Shaobao used extreme methods to deal with the people of Jiaozhi. But the eldest prince suddenly asked what this sentence meant? Do you want to revitalize the Duan clan? ”

"No," Duan Zhengming hurriedly denied.

But in any case, Dali has fallen to this point, Duan Zhengming is also a little unhappy, he looked at the vast mountains and forests, and suddenly remembered the happy time before...... (To be continued......)
