Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Early November, Taiwei Mansion.  "They are the first batch of residents to move from Guanzhong to Shuofang County. Arranging settlements is an important task and it is left to you. We all know that the northern border is in serious danger, and Shuofang County is the most dangerous area on the border. The importance of settlements is particularly great.  The key is to implement the resettlement work in a practical manner to ensure that the people of Guanzhong can live peacefully in Shuofang County." Zhao Yu, the captain of Zhisu, was wearing a military uniform and stared at the cowhide boots on his feet in silence, listening patiently.  Wei Tianfan explained the matter. Among the several gifts given to him by the cavalry general Cao Shi, his favorite was this pair of cowhide boots. It is said that they were made from Xiongnu calfskin. They are very effective in keeping warm and anti-freezing in winter. There are only a few of them in the entire Chang'an city.  Those who are qualified can get it.  The meetings chaired by Tian Fu were always boring. The captains of the Northern and Southern armies sat listlessly. Almost none of the soldiers present were willing to sit here and listen to nonsense. According to the imperial decree, the Taiwei was the three princes in charge of military and political power and could be summoned.  The high-level officials of the two armies discussed daily military matters, but the Taiwei had no right to issue military arrangements. Any military arrangements were either ordered by the court or handled by the generals of the people in the court. The Taiwei had no right to interfere with military arrangements.  It's disgusting because Tian Fu used chicken feathers as arrows. He thought that the Taiwei had the right to interfere in military and political affairs. He demanded that everything be reported to the Taiwei's mansion. He also interfered in the court's military and political arrangements in private, relying on the emperor's uncle to deceive the emperor and hide the truth from the emperor.  The captains were very dissatisfied with Tian Fu's small tricks. They complained to the court but were blocked by the three princes. The reason was that the emperor did not want to embarrass the captain too much.  "What a bullshit reason. It's just fear of the power of the Tian and Wang families. The Tian and Wang families are still so rampant that they even killed the chief officers of the Northern and Southern armies. It will be difficult for us to live a good life in the future." The young captain on the left of Zhao Yu also returned  Despite the indignant complaints, the new lieutenant and the new guard listened with gusto. No matter how reluctant the captains were, they had to pretend to be honest and listen to the instructions peacefully.  An unexpected situation occurred in the court a few days ago. The emperor ordered the transfer of the positions of the nine ministers. Fan Taguang, the lieutenant of the Northern Army, was transferred to the post of Da Nong Ling. Zhuang Qingzhai, the guard of the Southern Army, was transferred to the Shaofu. Wang Xin, the former Da Nong Ling, was transferred to the lieutenant of the Northern Army.  The Shaofu Han Anguo was transferred to the Southern Army Guards.  The chief officers of the Northern and Southern armies were instantly changed to senior officials in charge of the economy. Although their status was not reduced at all, there is no doubt about its subsequent political significance.  In the name of promoting military reform, the emperor gradually squeezed out the power of the noble princes group from the Northern and Southern Armies. The emperor also did not forget to take care of the honorable princes' face and chose Han Anguo, who was "from" Pingyang Hou Cao Shi and recommended him as the leader.  Weiwei tried to use this method to appease the restless hearts of the meritorious princes.  Fan Taguang was converted from a Northern Army general to a large agricultural order responsible for economic and taxation.  From his point of view, the loss is very big. The emperor will not leave the lieutenant in Chang'an City forever to manage public security. Sooner or later, he will get credit for staying in the lieutenant's throne. The transfer to a big farmer will restrict him to the palace of Chang'an City.  The Yazhong was directly constrained by the Prime Minister, and it was difficult to win over the professional bureaucrats in the Da Nong Order. The new term was destined to be very difficult.  Zhuang Qingzhai is even more at a loss.  He had military exploits and titles for pacifying the Minyue Kingdom. It stands to reason that he would be promoted to Taichang, the top of the nine ministers. However, the actual situation is that he was not promoted despite his military exploits and continued to serve as a guard of the Southern Army.  He did not participate in the great battle that took place in Yanmen.  The emperor simply asked him and Fan Taguang to be responsible for "staying behind" in Chang'an to stabilize people's hearts.  If Cao Shi's cavalry generals were not invincible, his resentment would have broken through the turmoil in Chang'an City long ago.  Although Cao Shi made such great achievements, he was not promoted to a general. Dou Ying, who had no experience in military command, also served as a general during the war. Cao Shi was the only one who made a lot of achievements, but the court was reluctant to reward the general. Initially, he was rewarded by the court.  There was an uproar when it was announced.  In the end, the court gave a reason that was not a reason. It was not a reason because the reason was very ridiculous. It actually said that the coexistence of the general and the Taiwei would easily lead to military conflicts and was not conducive to the command of the Han army. The co-author meant that Tian Fu, the Taiwei, was the co-author.  He still had to command the Han army. If Cao Shi suddenly jumped out and became a general, he would fight for power with Tian Fu. The double-headed politics was not conducive to the command of the Han army.  Cao Shi did not comment on this. On the contrary, the citizens of Chang'an City were furious. Cao Shi, the cavalry general and Pingyang Marquis, was a great contributor to the court. From Nanping Mitsukoshi to the northern attack on the Xiongnu, his contribution was no more than that of the early Han Dynasty.  The founding generals were so different that Guan Ying, Li Shang or Zhou Bo were just the same as him. It can only be said that the emperor's personal selfishness was at work in not allowing the greatest hero of the dynasty to become a general.  The news spread to the army, and the soldiers of the Northern and Southern armies who had served under Cao Shi were even more unhappy. The soldiers of the Northern and Southern armies who retreated from Monan were rewarded. A war turned ordinary soldiers into mid-level and senior officers.  There are people, but Cao Shi, the Han chariot general who led the army to defeat the Xiongnu, did not receive any reward for promotion.  Even if the emperor did not mention the appointment of officials and make a wish, the court could only accompany the emperor and pretend to be dumbfounded. Everyone tacitly suppressed the matter and did not express it. The only person who suffered was Pingyang Hou Cao Shi's personal interests. The chariot general Cao Shi was so fashionable.  ,?Zhuang Qingzhai had no choice but to pack up his luggage and leave the Southern Army camp in despair, running to the Shaofu to fulfill his new duties.  "So the chief officers of the Northern and Southern armies were shaken up. Gaihou Wangxin, who was not familiar with military affairs, was in charge of the Northern Army's seal. Han Anguo, an old minister of the Liang King who was good at speculation, was in charge of the Southern Army's seal. The Holy Emperor wanted to take control of the Han army. We  I have become a fish in the fire at the city gate. "I don't want to hang around in the Northern Army for a long time. I used to be the lieutenant of Wuyang Marquis and quit the Northern Army with an embarrassed look. Now I am a penniless relative, and I don't have any psychological burden."  "The discussion was so intense that Captain Tian Fan paid attention to this corner several times. The captains involved did not feel that it was too much at all, and they continued to go their own way and chatted in low voices. Someone actually  He claimed that he was willing to live in Shuofang County, and would rather go to Bian County to become a captain than stay in the Northern Army system and slowly rot away.  Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this. The complaints from the Northern and Southern armies were more than expected. In fact, he himself did not know much about military affairs. He was in charge of the Han army's military supplies and went to Shuofang County to make preliminary preparations. The time was tight and the tasks were heavy and the responsibilities were heavy.  , if you are not careful, you will pay a heavy price for it. Fortunately, he does not act alone. Shi Tianren, the two-term prime minister's office director, is his deputy.  After the meeting, Zhao Yu drove non-stop to the east of Chang'an City to meet Tian Ren. People came and went at the dock where the Ba River and the Weishui River intersected, and boarded the prepared speedboat to sail to Hedong County.  "The first batch of 100,000 people set out on the road yesterday. The 3,000 ships prepared by the Shaofu in advance were not enough, so 2,000 ships were temporarily recruited and barely enough. The main reason is that loading grain, grass and various sundries for the winter takes up more space." "  Is there enough food? " "With three million stones of food and the five million livestock left in Shuofang County, there should be no problem with the food rations." Zhao Yu shook his head. There are still 60,000 soldiers from the northern border counties guarding the ice and snow.  In addition, the 300,000 Huns herdsmen who were under guard also had to eat. It was not enough to rely on some of the cattle and sheep collected in several wars as capital. Even if the Guanzhong people lived in felt tents during the first winter before going to Shuofang County without having to use their own food.  To build a house, to feed a population of nearly 700,000 people requires at least one million stones of grain. Five million cattle and sheep also need to eat some hay and old grain. If some of them starve to death due to poor care, there will not be enough cattle and sheep to graze next spring.  .  "Let's do this! As usual, settlements have been drawn up on both sides of the Hetao Plain, and the richest land along the Yellow River has been secured. The river near Yinshan seems to be called Ruishui, so settlements have been drawn up on both sides of this river. The Huns herdsmen also live in the settlements.  In the village, no one was left out of the household registration of the Qi people. In advance, I asked the court for a special order to deal with the Huns. I temporarily restored the Yi tribe and the joint system for the herdsmen who surrendered to the Huns. " Tian Ren said in surprise: "  The Yi tribe and the Lianzu system? " "Yes, the Huns became Han people when they surrendered to the Han family, but some Huns resisted and did not want to become Chinese people. It was precisely these lucky people who were severely punished by the imperial court.  The Xiongnu clan members who registered households must go through three steps: change their names, change their hair, change their clothes, and change their customs. If any Xiongnu refuses to cooperate, or temporarily cooperates with the conspiracy secretly, all his comrades will be arrested and executed. According to the  The seriousness of the crime ranged from killing one person to three tribes of Yi, from only asking the first offender and never asking for threats to even sitting in the house and being executed. " Zhao Yu is familiar with the law and can talk about it casually. Legalism adheres to the troubled times of the Warring States Period.  Thoughts, Zhao Yu pays attention to governing the country with heavy laws in troubled times, and firmly believes that severe punishment and torture can effectively deter people's hearts. Although he has not talked much about Legalism in recent years, it does not mean that Zhao Yu has forgotten his old profession.  The two said that the fast boat went all the way north along the Yellow River and Fen River to Taiyuan County. If they continued north, they had to abandon the ship and walk into Yanmen County. Considering the influence of the Xiongnu on the border, military defense measures have always been the highlight of the border counties, and banditry was rampant in the area.  It basically has nothing to do with border counties. For example, it is difficult for Zhang Cigong, a giant thief from Hedong, to survive in border counties. On the contrary, there are many horse thieves in border counties.  The two of them were ordered to go north, and the county soldiers escorting them along the way protected them in a relay manner. Not long after they passed through Yunzhong County and left a defensive gap, the convoy was blocked by a sudden appearance of a horse team.  "Two envoys from the imperial court, please come out and speak. We have been ordered to take you to Shuofang County to govern Yuhun." The people in the motorcade opened the curtains and looked at the black-armored cavalry. The business travelers traveling in the border counties were very sensitive to all kinds of news.  , immediately realized the identity of the cavalry, and soon more people thought of the black-armored horse thieves roaming the southern desert. The Han cavalry, also equipped with black armor, defeated the Huns like a divine aid.  Zhao Yu jumped off the carriage: "I am Zhao Yu, the captain of Sosu. Who are you?" Wei Buguang lifted up his ferocious mask and said, "We are the bodyguards of General Chariot and Cavalry. We have been ordered to receive the two envoys. Tian  Sir, you didn¡¯t come with us?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here, I know you. Lieutenant Zhao, please relax. Their identities are unknown.??Very reliable.  "Tian Ren nodded to Wei Buguang. Who would have thought that this remote and remote area would hold a group of amazing cavalry. The brother of the emperor's favorite Mrs. Wei is in Shuofang County. (To be continued.
