    "Finally, I made sense to the old man" In the midsummer of August, outside Chengliu County in Zizhou, Wang Chong looked at a newly erected military tent and sighed with relief. With Zongze's support, his southwest strategy was finally  A big step forward.  The Southwest Policy initiated by him and controlled by the powerful minister Wang Fu was an incubator of conspiracy and self-interest.  Wang Fu wanted to use this tool to leverage the structure of the court and push himself into position, while Wang Chong wanted to use this tool to build the power of the Song Dynasty to cope with the tribulation, and at the same time lay the foundation of authority for himself to cope with the tribulation.  Zongze, who was caught between Wang Fu and Wang Chong, finally accepted Wang Chong's plan out of pure public considerations.  Regarding the southwest affairs, Wang Chong almost told Zongze everything, which was a step further than his previous explanation to Yuwen Huangzhong in Bianliang.  Wang Chong only said to Yuwen Huangzhong that he wanted to draw the power of the imperial court into the southwest, but to Zongze, he said that he wanted to draw the available power from the barbarians in the southwest. This is one way out and one way in.  Such a plan was completely out of the control of the imperial court when it was based on a freak named Border Affairs Secretary.  It would have been impossible before the Zhezong Dynasty, but at this time the old system was broken and the imperial power was greatly displayed, and evil spirits could use the imperial power to do whatever they wanted.  The minister Jian Ying served as a bureau to search the southeast, and the eunuchs used the camp repair office, the Xicheng office, and the public land office to cover the fields in the capital, east of the capital, and Hebei. They were all doing things that undermined the old system and would cause great trouble in the future.  Ying Fengju caused the Fang La Rebellion, and Xicheng caused a lot of thieves in Jingdong, and Song Jiang in Liangshan was one of them.  Wang Chong borrowed the help of Wang Fu, a treacherous official, to use the Border Affairs Division to seize the southwest border affairs of the imperial court to achieve his own plan. The means are the same but the purpose is different. The results I believe it will be different.  "Be honest!" A familiar voice that had not been heard for a long time woke up Wang Chong who was deep in thought.  "Oh. It's time to ask Wang to press the hook, no. The king the handsome man!" A heroic young man dressed as a warrior walked over, his mouth full of ridicule.  Wang Chong scolded lightly: "Be careful with your words. You and I are like grasshoppers on a rope now. If I break it, I will break you, and I will break your Sizhou Tian family." Then his tone changed: "But  , At this time, you really have to respect me as your commander-in-chief." "The representative of the Sizhou Tian family, Tian Zhongsi, the son of Tian Yougong, put away his careless expression, clasped his fists and said solemnly: "I respectfully respect the order!"  The official positions carried by Wang Chong were very complicated. To be precise, there were five positions, one of which was a regular local administrator.  Zongze was the one who knew the affairs of Linzhou, and Wang Chong was the one who knew Xingwen Village, which involved military matters. Zongze was also responsible for patrolling Linzhou, while Wang Chong's Zhizhai itself was a combination of military and political affairs, and was also called a village in terms of military affairs.  host.  The third item is the position of the Department of Appeasement. Wang Chong is the scriptwriter of the Department of Appeasement in the border areas of Lunan. Zongze was also awarded the deputy envoy of the Department of Appeasement in the border areas of Lunan last month. This is why Wang Fu used the Department of Border Affairs to seize local personnel.  Another achievement for Quan.  By the way.  The Department of Appeasement rarely set up deputy envoys to appease, but it was not unheard of. They were appointed deputy envoys to appease according to Zongze's seniority.  Even if it's just a peripheral appeasement department instead of a genuine economic strategy appeasement department, it's still beyond the mark.  This also fully proves Wang Fu's reliance on Zongze and the collapse of the old system under the "villain taking power".  The fourth item is the duties of the Border Affairs Department.  Zongze is the judge of the Border Affairs Department, and Wang Chong is the official official of the Border Affairs Department.  Zongze and Wang Chong's local positions were more meaningful only in determining their official ranks.  The job of the Appeasement Department is to ensure that they have a say in the affairs of the barbarians in the southwest.  The position of the Border Affairs Department is only the ranking of the two people's rights and responsibilities in the Border Affairs Department. The power that can really be implemented in affairs is the fifth item.  The fifth position is very messy. This is also a reflection of the fact that the southwest affairs in charge of the Border Affairs Department are outside the court system. Zongze is the archer of the Lunan Border Affairs Department and the Fan Department, and Wang Chong is the Luzhou Fangfan Department of the Border Affairs Department.  The archer mentioned some official business.  Let¡¯s just talk about the position of ¡°the archers of the Tibetan tribe take care of official matters¡±. This is a position set up by the various roads in Shaanxi. It is mostly filled by the guardians of the various roads in Shaanxi. They are in charge of the archers of the Tibetan tribe, that is, the training and review of the Tibetan soldiers, and when necessary.  Last time, a certain general who was transferred to the regular army to fight.  Wang Fu snatched this position into the hands of the Border Affairs Division, which ensured that the Border Affairs Division had the power to lead the Lunan border states and Jisu states in military affairs.  Of course, this power depends on the specific use of the person who holds the position. During the Shenzong Dynasty, the imperial court introduced the Shaanxi Tibetan military system to the southwest. However, the Southwest Tibetan soldiers were never popular, and they were not as dependent on the court as the Shaanxi Fan soldiers. Except for the Nanping Army,  The Tibetan soldiers, the Tibetan soldiers in other places, that is, the native soldiers, were beyond the control of the imperial court.  Even if the imperial court wanted to recruit Yi subordinates to fight, it would not rely on the Tibetan military system, but the depth of control over the Yi chieftains. Just like Sizhou Tian Yougong, who was very respectful to the imperial court, the imperial court could not bypass him and directly recruit his soldiers.  Therefore, in the eyes of the court, the military power that Wang Fu snatched was just in name, otherwise Wang Fu would not have been able to obtain it easily.  Wang Fu¡¯s staff must have spent a lot of time thinking about the arrangements for the official duties of the Tibetan archers Zongze and Wang Chong.  The Department of Border Affairs should set up this position to ensure that this power can be provided by the Department of Border Affairs.However, the Border Affairs Department is not a regular department of the imperial court after all. The Lunan Appeasement Department has more say in the border affairs military power, so someone must be in charge of this position in the Appeasement Department. This is what Zongze and Wang Chong both pointed out.  It's official business, but the "counterpart" has different reasons.  Calculating this, it is Wang Chong who really controls the Tibetan archer affairs in Lunan, and Zongze is just a barrier used by the Border Affairs Department to block the Appeasement Department.  Because of this, Wang Chong wanted to inspect the local soldiers in Zhujizhou and make preparations. Zongze could only reprimand and warn them.  Wang Fu only regarded the Tibetan military power as an entrance and springboard for the Border Affairs Department to intervene in the southwestern barbarian affairs. Zongze initially thought so too, but he did not expect that Wang Chong was so bold as to realize this power.  Of course Wang Chong never thought that he would be able to recruit troops directly like the Xiang, Qiang, Rong, and Fan soldiers from all the Shaanxi road parties, but as a start, he could gather the Yi people and soldiers from all the states into one body, which has stirred up the old situation in the southwest.  Zongze was very determined to support him, and even regarded it as a big gamble.  "Just this few people? My father asked me to bring two hundred people. I thought it was less, but I didn't expect it to be the most." After Tian Zhongsi saluted, he looked at the number of military tents and sighed with something like disdain.  Wang Chong understood that this disdain was not directed at himself, but at other Yi chiefs.  Wang Chong said: "That's why I want to push you out and set an example." Tian Zhongsi said with emotion: "The Tian family is loyal to the court and only obeys the orders!" Wang Chong chuckled.  The friendship forged with Tian Yougong during the Yanzhou Bo rebellion was very useful. Of course, the subsequent interest exchanges in pacifying the Yannan Bo tribe were also very important.  Wang Chong also didn¡¯t want Tian Zhongsi to be too alienated from others.  Explained: "It's not that they don't care, after all, it's not like your Sizhou Tian family. Not many people can hear Chinese." As he spoke, he led Tian Zhongsi to the military tent. This was according to the official and military regulations of the Song Dynasty.  A small military camp built under the standard military system can only accommodate a thousand people at most, but judging from the number of military tents and the number of people coming and going, the actual number of people is less than half.  Between the military tents, young and strong men were coming and going, with their heads wrapped in turbans or braids, and their bodies patchworked with colorful floral fabrics.  A short coat like a bainai, or a sleeveless sweatshirt similar to a livery. On the feet there are cloth shoes, straw sandals, and even bare feet.  The uniforms are chaotic, the colors are mixed, and the languages ??and accents are also messy. This is more like a market than a military camp.  "This is Te Lang, the leader of the Bo people in Chunzhou. The son of Te Miao, the chief inspector of the Lunan Tibetan tribe" "Tian Xiang, the inspector of Zhenzhou, the son of Tian Mingyan, the governor of Zhenzhou. You should be of the same clan. I must have met you before.  "Passed." "Luo Huang, the son of Zizhou inspector Luo Pian, is also a Bo." "Wang Kui of Chengzhou, a leader of the Liao people." "Li Xitan, a native of Qinzhou, claims to be a descendant of Li Taibai.  Haha, Taibai once exiled Yelang. I can't say for sure." [1] Wang Chong led Tian Zhongsi on a tour of the camp, introducing the Yi leaders from different places one by one, or the leaders' confidants.  These people were ordered by the Lunan Appeasement Department and the Border Affairs Department to gather Tibetan troops for review in Chengliu County.  The essence of this order was drawn up by Wang Chong, requiring each ministry to only bring elites who could understand Chinese.  When Wang Chong introduced the other two young men, Tian Zhongsi took a breath.  "Long Yanhao of Nanning Prefecture, the son of General Wuning, Song Xiding of Manzhou, the son of Zhenyuan Marquis Song Qixiang" "Long Fan, the leader of the eighth division of Nanning, and the Song family of Manzhou are all here. The momentum is not small.  "Ah." Tian Zhongsi said with emotion, the Long family is the most respected in the Eighth Division of Nanning, and the Song family in Manzhou is also powerful. The Eighth Division is in the south, and the Song family is in the north. The Zunyi Army is located in the south of Guizhou.  It¡¯s Guangnan West Road.  Song Xi remained calm, and after saluting Wang Chong, he said hello to Tian Zhongsi. Long Yanhao, who was familiar with him, said in unskilled Chinese: "We, Nanning Prefecture Longpan, have been loyal to the imperial court since ancient times.  "When the imperial court calls, how can Long Fan refuse to obey?" Wang Chong also responded with praise. Nanning Prefecture's Long Fan led the largest number of troops besides the Sizhou Tian clan, with a hundred men. He had a very positive attitude and was very loyal.  But apart from the quantity, the quality is not so pure.  The Eighth Fan of Nanning was formed by the Xidong soldiers from two rivers and eight surnames who were sent by the Chu State during the Southern Expedition of the Five Dynasties and stayed in southern Guizhou. Longfan was the first to surrender when the Song Dynasty was founded. In the first year of Dao (995), an orchestra was sent to perform reed flutes.  Dance music shows off the pioneering style.  After that, there was an endless stream of people entering the dynasty, and there were as many as 1,600 tribute missions in many cases!  It also led other tribes to rush to join the court and ask for gifts. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty felt that these Yi people were too enthusiastic and issued several edicts asking them to reduce the size of the tribute group and change the tribute period to every five years.  "Any shrewd person can see through Long Fan's "loyalty", especially their acting skills, which makes the government and the public dissatisfied.  When paying tribute, these people were poorly dressed and looked like country folk, so the emperor and the court had to reward them generously.  It can be said that Longfan is the best-run "enterer" among all the barbarians.The business of "paying tribute" not only gained real profits, but also because of the continuous grants of official positions from the imperial court, he was firmly on top of each division, and he became the overlord of each division in southern Guizhou. It depends on how noble Long Yanhao is.  Long Fan, the legitimate son of the family, was still dressed in sackcloth, and the one hundred soldiers he brought were not only in tatters, but all of them were barefoot. You knew that this guy was adhering to the Long family's tradition and regarded Wang Chong's recruitment as another good opportunity to fight against the autumn wind.  "There are some who make false claims, some who are fighting against the autumn wind, and some who regard me as a platform" Wang Chong responded to Tian Zhongsi's emotion, and things were far from going as smoothly as Tian Zhongsi thought. "Well, there are still two more.  You want to meet in person, but you have to promise not to conflict with them.  "Wang Chong said as he led Tian Zhongsi into the big tent in the camp. "Yang Weji!  Yang Wenchen!  It's you!  " As soon as he entered the tent, he saw two young men in Song attire. Tian Zhongsi's eyes twitched and he yelled, his hand subconsciously clenching the hilt of the sword. "Tian Jiu!  "The two young men jumped up, their faces suddenly changed to ferocious. Wang Chong said coldly: "I am in need of someone to cooperate with me to demonstrate to everyone what ruthless military law is. Do you really want to try?  "The three of them stared at each other for a moment, snorted angrily, and then shouted at Wang Chong at the same time. "The Sizhou Tian family will never get along with the Bozhou Yang family!  " "Since we have already attracted Sizhoutian, why bother to use us to Bozhouyang again!  ?  " "The Bozhou soldiers can stay, but our uncle and nephew really can't, so we'll say goodbye!"  Wang Chong sighed secretly, knowing that this was the case. The Yang family of Bozhou originated from Yang Duan, a native of Taiyuan in Bingzhou and a general of cavalry in the Tang Dynasty. Yang Duan led his army to defeat the invading Nanzhao in Bozhou, and then permanently suppressed Bozhou. In the Song Dynasty,  During the Yuanfeng period, the patriarch Yang Guiqian followed the imperial court's instructions and conquered Luzhou's rebellious barbarian beggars. His eldest son Yang Guangzhen killed Song Dalang, the beggars' general. By this generation, the Yang family was divided into two clans. One was the one living in Bozhou.  The Lao clan is a new clan that established land in Zunyi. The nominal leader of the Lao clan is Yang Weicong, the direct grandson of Yang Guangzhen. In fact, his cousin Yang Guangrong, the second son, is in charge. The new clan is headed by Yang Wengui, the fourth son of Yang Guangzhen.  During the Daguan period, the old and new clans competed for annexation. In order to reconcile the two clans, the imperial court designated Yang Guangrong's land as Bozhou and Yang Wengui's land as Zunyi Army. The two Yang clans had disputes with each other, but they were consistent with the outside world.  They have been seeking the land of Zhenzhou and Chengzhou for many years. The Tian family in Sizhou and the Tian family in these two places are relatives, so they are quite hostile to each other and have accumulated a lot of hatred. At this time, Tian Yougong returned.  Leading troops in Suiyang, Chengzhou to prevent the Yang family from invading Bozhou. "Yang Weiji, Yang Wenchen, this is the land of the imperial court, not a place for you to settle personal feuds. Fortunately, you are still descendants of the Yang family!  " Wang Chong reprimanded this pair of uncles and nephews who were about the same age, but the "Yang family" in his mouth had a rich meaning. It was not only talking about Yang Duan, the ancestor of the Yang family, but also Yang Ye, a famous general in the Song Dynasty. Yang Guangzhen's eldest son,  Yang Weicong¡¯s father¡¯s name was Yang Wenguang¡­of course he was not the Yang Wenguang of the Yang family, but there was indeed some connection, which Wang Chong had inadvertently made. Then Wang Chong educated Tian Zhongsi: ¡°If you want to leave, then leave.  How your father wants to deal with you, I won¡¯t say a word.  "The three of them breathed heavily for a while, and then snorted angrily, and had to temporarily suppress their hatred. Wang Chong did not greet the three of them, and sat down directly, taking the tea from a pretty little girl,  After taking a sip of tea, he said with full official tone: "Don't talk about you, aren't Nanning Prefecture Long Fan and Man Prefecture Song Clan also enemies?  Why can people get along with each other calmly?  That¡¯s because they understand my purpose in calling everyone here!  The imperial court has made a new strategy in the southwest, and a great future is waiting for you. Obsessing with past grievances is not the material for great things.  You are all the elites of the clan, the pillars of the future. Your elders should have said enough when you come here.  " "This is Luo Canniang, also the instructor.  " Seeing that the eyes of the three people were all fixed on the little girl, not only were they attracted by the still young beauty, but they were also surprised why Wang Chong was still bringing a woman with him in the military camp. Wang Chong explained casually. "What!  ?  "The three men almost twisted their eyes. This little girl is still a teacher!? Surprise, disdain, and the humiliation of being slighted flowed through the hearts of the three of them. The original hatred between the clans was temporarily put aside. Wang  Chong tasted the expressions of the three people with satisfaction, nodded and said to himself, even if they are enemies of life and death, they can always find a common language (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster! ps: [1: Li Bai's Exile Night  There is no official history about Lang, which is a conclusion drawn from his poems. The old Yelang Kingdom was in the Sichuan and Guizhou areas. In the Song Dynasty, there was Yelang County, which was under the rule of Qinzhou, which is north of Zunyi in Guizhou.
