Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 918 Aftermath and Students

"Shuai Zhao, in fact, King Xia is quite generous and kind." On the post road leading to Xuzhou, Li Hang and Zhao Jue walked side by side and said.

Zhao Jue nodded.

Of course, he has his own opinion in mind.It is true that he is not bloodthirsty and cruel, but it is not very kind.

Shanzhou Li Fan's real Jiedushi has become a fake Jiedushi, is it true that others don't know?
Leading the army to coerce the descendants of Li Xiang, an old acquaintance, and took down the two states of Jin and Shang.

He intervened and even instigated the civil strife among the Wang brothers in Puzhou, and played a big show of luring wolves into the house.

The people in Lingxia all say that "Shao Sheng" is good, but the people in Guanzhong and Hezhong don't think so.

The people of Tang, Xiang, and E towns have been getting more and more sad every day since they became the attached towns of King Xia, and they don't know how to scold them in private.

kind?He's just acting.

"Imagine that King Xia didn't go east, but separatized the customs, and Chen Xu continued to be Zhu Quanzhong's attached town, what would happen in the end?" Li Hang seemed not to see Zhao Jue's face, and continued: "Zhu Quanzhong is not a kind person. , Chen Xu is next to the Xuanwu Army, he has a well-to-do household registration, a wealth of wealth, and is famous all over the world as a loyal and elite soldier, can he let him go?"

Zhao Jue still nodded, which means that what you said is correct, and I will not refute.

But he also knew that Zhu Quanzhong and Shao Shude were of the same kind, they both hated the feudal clan extremely, which was very different from other warriors.In the end, Zhu Quanzhong should still cut down the vassal, there is no doubt about it.

Xuanyi Town was hypocritically given to Hu Zhen at the beginning, but Bianzhou has the final say on all major and minor matters. This is a fake vassal town, no different from Shao Shude's.

Chen Xu's Zhao family and Luoyang Zhang's family should all be cleaned up by Zhu Quanzhong in the end, sooner or later.The only difference is that the process of being cleaned up is not decent. If it is decent, you can still serve as an official in the center. If it is not decent, you will be wiped out.

Chen Xu's Zhao family was a little embarrassed this time, but they managed to retain the last dignity.

"Don't worry, Shuai Zhao." Li Hang said: "Your Highness is reasonable and nostalgic. I heard that the Zhao family of Xuzhou and the Zhao family of Qinzhou have recognized their relatives. This is a family. Are you afraid that you won't be rich? Your Highness's love for Concubine Zhao is unimaginable to outsiders, and the chances are great."

Zhao Jue finally reacted a bit: "If Doctor Li hadn't woken up this time, I would have missed my plan."

"Well, they are all from our own family, so of course we should help a little." Li Hang said with a smile: "The Zhao family has two distinguished families, and I don't know how many people they are envious of."

Zhao Jue forced a smile.According to the news obtained, he, the Duke of Fangling County, cannot be hereditary. Once the second generation inherits the title, only [-] households will be entrusted with food. After the third generation inherits the title, he may become the Duke of Fangling County. .The Marquis of Fushi County, whose nephew Zhao Lu was the lord, only had [-] food seals. If he wanted to go up in the future, he would have to do his best to make meritorious deeds, and he couldn't lie on the food town to enjoy the blessings.

From the present point of view, only Xia Wang's Guanxi Yuancong has preferential treatment for the elderly. For three generations, he has not been degraded to the title, and has not been reduced in food, which is enviable.

Shao Shude was still stingy, unexpectedly he refused to give a king with a different surname, and there was only one county king.In the early years of the Kingdom, there were at least two kings, Du Fuwei of Wu and Luo Yi, king of Yan.

The army marched all the way east, and soon arrived outside the city of Xuzhou, and Ding Hui, the envoy of the Youguo Army, came to pay respects in a hurry.

Zhao Jue glanced at him and snorted coldly.

Ding Hui was baffled and didn't know where he offended this person.

"See Your Majesty." Ding Hui saluted.

He has received orders to go south to Huaixi, return to Shouzhou camp, join the southern battlefield, and attack Yang Wu's forces.

"The Huai Army's battle on the west front is disadvantageous. Anzhou is defeated by us, and Huangzhou is besieged. Qizhou Feng Jingzhang, Jia Gongduo and others still have some combat effectiveness, at least stronger than Qu Zhang and Liu Wei. Be careful." Shao Shude Said.

"Of order." Ding Hui replied very respectfully.

The Zhao family in Xuzhou has surrendered and handed over a large county like Chenzhou. Ding Hui will be shocked and dare not think any more carefully.

"I promised you the post of Qizhou defense envoy before. I keep my word, and I still keep my word. Fight hard and don't be careless." To be honest, Shao Shude regretted a little, but he promised before, and he couldn't go back on his words, so he was very helpless. .

The Qizhou defense envoy is actually a small town.Fortunately, the degree of development here is limited, the four counties only have a population of more than [-], and they cannot support Dinghui's [-] troops. At least he is still under the control of others in terms of logistics.Of course, he may be relying on Huaixi, Eyue or Xiangyang for assistance. The cost of relying on the Central Plains is too high, after all, the Dabie Mountains are not so easy to pass.

If Dinghui has ambitions, he will definitely invade the surrounding territory and expand his strength, so he can observe more at that time.If there is something wrong, we must find a way to restrict it.

"Your Majesty is generous and benevolent, and the final general is grateful." Ding Hui said loudly, "I don't know how to fight secrets, and I make enemies everywhere. The final general will lead the army to come, and I will fight bravely to repay the king."

His real thought was that Shao Shude's determination to cut down the vassal was very firm, and he couldn't beat Yang Xingmi too hard, otherwise he might end badly.But you can't deal with it too much, or you will be held accountable, and you have to think carefully about how to control it.

"The Shizan Department of the Yushan Army has recovered to [-] soldiers, and they are stationed in Huangpi. You two should cooperate well, and they will all be under the control of Zhe Linggong."

"Of order." Ding Hui replied loudly.

Shao Shude nodded.

The [-] Youguo Army is the largest piece of Zhu Quanzhong's "military heritage". No big deal will happen.

As for ambition, that is what every warrior has.Even the old people in Kansai have ambitions, which is determined by the atmosphere of the times.

Shao Shude didn't have this obsession with cleanliness. In fact, loyal people like Wang Yanzhang were very rare at this time.It doesn't matter what you say or what you do, as long as there is no disobedience, I think you are loyal.

Shao Shude stayed in Xuzhou for half a month, and even took time to go to Chenzhou to meet local officials.

The news of Chenzhou's return to the Xuanwu Army has spread quickly throughout the six counties of Chenzhou.

Wherever Shao Shude went, officials big and small came out to greet him one after another, and they were extremely obedient.

Vassals' vassals are not my vassals, this is the European medieval rule.Although it was not to this extent at this time, the lord of the family had given in, and it was meaningless for Chenzhou officials to stand firm, so they quickly changed their positions.

The Chenzhou state army did not lay off, and the original team remained in office.However, Shao Shude also selected [-] elite soldiers from the state, and sent them to Qizhou together with the [-] elite soldiers of the loyal military army sent to Luoyang in advance to supplement the various ministries of the imperial army—the power of the Jiedushi still needs to be exercised, so that everyone can realize that Changed the boss.

By the way, Liang Jun dropped 2 troops in the "second phase", and 5000 people have been transferred eastward to supplement the battle losses of the Tielin, Yicong, and Feilong armies.Along with him, there were [-] recruits from the Shanzhou Academy.

After 8000 people were added, the Tielin and Yicong armies were basically full, and the Feilong army recovered to 5000.

Li Tangbin commanded all the soldiers and horses to fight smoothly.

He didn't play any tricks, and just pushed across with an army of [-].If there is not enough food and grass, stop and wait, and the army must be fully supported in March before entering the army, playing very conservatively.

Liu Po, who is known for his ingenious tricks, has nothing to do with Xia Jun's slick style of play.What's more, they didn't care about human life at all, and they grabbed the people of Zizhou to act as the forerunners to attack the city. Enter Zizhou.

Discouraged, the people of Qi called Li Tangbin "Li Taiyue", describing his simple and heavy use of troops.

Shao Shude is looking forward to what tricks the Qi people can play.If there is no solution, then Qi Zhen's failure will be inevitable.

******
On the first day of July, Shao Shude returned to Qingshu Palace, where he received a new batch of students.

Wuxue has not opened a new school for two years. At the beginning of this year, Liangxian Wuxue and Ruzhou Wuxue were opened, and each of them recruited some students.

A total of more than 200 martial arts students graduated this year.Among them, Xiazhou, Lingzhou, and Lanzhou each have 50 students, Tongzhou 32, Liangzhou 30, Jinzhou Wuxue graduated 24 students in the first batch, and Yanzhou Wuxue's first batch of students entered the final year of study.

So far, Zhuzhou martial arts has sent a total of 1001 martial arts students to the army. Except for the high-level, Tianxiong Army has almost completely become martial arts. Wu students.

If it is said that after his death, which army is the most suitable for his son to send out to fight, then it must be the Tianxiong Army.They have the lowest possibility of rebelling with the general, and they are the most loyal to the royal family - of course, this also depends on the level of the new king. Shao Shude even wanted to send his son to study martial arts, but he gave up because it was too shocking.

A total of 24 students were present today, and they were the first graduates of Jinzhou Martial Arts specially selected by Shao Shude.

Strictly speaking, they haven't graduated yet, but they have just entered the last year of internship, and it is customary to think that they have graduated.

"Shao Zhixian and Shao Zhixue, work hard, receive awards for meritorious deeds, and seal their wives and sons. This is the right time." Shao Shude patted the two students on the shoulders and bestowed their swords.

Shao Zhixian and Shao Zhixue are from Fangzhou. It is said that they are descendants of officials who were exiled in Fangzhou. They have little courage, but their families are poor and poor.In the fifth year of Dashun, Li Yanling, the envoy of the Zhaoxin Army, inspected the area and discovered the extraordinary talents of the two brothers, so he recommended them to enter the Jinzhou martial arts school.Because they didn't even have a proper name, Shao Shude gave them a name when reviewing the admission list.

"My subordinates would like to follow the instructions of the general office." The two brothers responded loudly.

"Qiu Zengxiang. Ruzu and I are old, let's do it well." Shao Shude walked in front of another person with a slightly dazed expression.

This person is the grandson of Qiu Weidao.Originally, according to the tradition of the eunuch family, Qiu Zengxiang would definitely enter the palace as an eunuch and inherit the family business.But it's okay, it's not necessary, and entering martial arts is also a good way.

Qiu Weidao has been cultivating immortals for many years. Due to taking too much medicine, he became immortal in Lingzhou a few months ago.Before he died, he became sober a lot and wrote a letter to Shao Shude with tears in his eyes, recommending his nephew Qiu Silian to serve Shao Shude.

This person worked as a small eunuch in the Yeting Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Chang'an.Shao Shude ordered Han Quanhui to find him and send him to Luoyang.

"I swear to die for the chief executive." Qiu Zengxiang said loudly.

Shao Shude nodded in satisfaction, it was still easier for him to use.

These 24 students were all sent to the generals, with half of the team leader and half of the team deputy.

General Tu is in the midst of a major rectification and training, and he is by his side all year round. Shao Shude intends to let them gradually learn martial arts and become a troop like the Tianxiong Army.

Shao Shude didn't intend to hand over the martial arts of Zhuzhou to anyone, but to manage it himself.After his death in the future, he will be handed over to the new king.

Martial arts students must always maintain their status as disciples of the emperor and maintain such a lofty status.In this way, they can become another force in the court, speaking on behalf of the warriors, so that they will not be suppressed too hard.

Of course, any system may be corrupted or collapsed.But Shao Shude can't control the affairs after his death. If the children and grandchildren can't even judge the situation, keep pace with the times, and maintain the balance of the court, then there is nothing they can do.

If martial arts students, a group with both cultural background and martial art and military strategy, can't become helpers and an important balancing force in the court, then they deserve to die.
