The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 375 The Fall of Haizhou

field.

The people are busy plowing and sowing, although they are all farming for the government, leaving only their own rations, because of the stimulation of the division of the fields.

These hardworking people are full of energy. Although they are equally tired and have the same hardships, they all think that they will be assigned to the fields.

Under the guidance of the general, Jinjiang Town's strategy was steady and deep.

Civil unrest broke out everywhere in the country.

The emperor reluctantly told the people to work hard for another year, thinking that after accumulating strength, the people could breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Jin Jiangzhen didn't say so, he actually did the same.

The distribution of land is not much, according to the stipulations of the number of years, it is only the beginning, and a large amount of land will be distributed next year.

And these people planted the land this year, and only left rations after the autumn harvest, and the rest was collected by the government for use.

Different yes.

The former people no longer trust the government and the emperor's promise, and the court did not provide disaster relief.

People will starve to death in a month, so what year is it?

As for the distribution of land in Jinjiang Town, the believers saw it and believed it, and were willing to continue to suffer for another year.

More than half of Liaodong, several million acres of land, plus the gains from the fishery administration, the benefits of Lushun business, and the business benefits of Jeju Island.

After a few months of sufficient military and food supplies, the [-] Jinjiang Army's elite soldiers were mobilized.

Jinjiang Town is full of drums and drums, and the momentum is monstrous.

King Zhongshun of Liaoxi saw it and was anxious in his heart.

"The Jinjiang Army has [-] elite soldiers, and the strength of the navy is unstoppable. If the Jinjiang Army defeats the barbarians, it will recover the entire Liaodong.

There will be no one to restrain them anymore, and the army in western Liaoning can only try their best to defend it.

And the imperial court sent the Marquis of Jinxiang to rebuild Beizhen and split the strength of western Liaoning. Is it true that eastern Liaoning is completely out of control? "

Once again, he wrote a secret letter to his nephew, the emperor, hoping that the emperor would change his mind.

King Zhongshun was very discouraged.

He clearly saw the crisis and could solve it, but he seemed to be tied up and watched the crisis approaching.

If according to his mind.

Strengthen the Liaoxi Army, negotiate peace with the barbarians, win over Mongolia, issue an edict to North Korea, ban domestic maritime trade, and form a situation of besieging Jinjiang Town.

It only takes a few years of work to solve the troubles in Liaodong.

But it was obviously the correct method, but it couldn't be used according to his will.

The fundamental reason is that Marquis Ping Liao has too deep a relationship with domestic nobles, and too many people speak for him.

Even Shi Nai, regardless of his request, submitted his resignation and returned home at such a critical juncture.

"This person is so young, how can he make the arrangement so careless?"

King Zhongshun asked confusedly.

His staff members are also at a loss. All strategies need domestic support, but various voices in the country have led to a lack of unified opinions.

"There are people in the court who are good at being officials. Marquis Ping Liao knows this truth very well. He has been in close contact with the nobles all the way. The two sides have formed a stable relationship, which is really unbreakable."

"The generation who misunderstood the country."

Hearing this, King Zhongshun became more and more angry, wishing he could return to the capital right now, and wantonly rectify the traitors, but he just couldn't do it.

The feeling of not getting what one wants makes King Zhongshun go crazy.

With the [-] domestic reinforcements gone, the Liaoxi army, plus [-] new recruits, only had more than [-] soldiers.

Although the Mongolian tribes outside the western Liaoning city were recruited, it was impossible to help the western Liaoning army to send troops regardless of the situation.

Moreover, the previous covenant was also for mutual protection, not for the other party's expedition.

"Can't wait any longer."

King Zhongshun made up his mind and decided to take the initiative to attack and reveal the true face of Marquis Pingliao.

Now forcing Ping Liaohou to become a major problem for the country is far better than Ping Liaohou's recovery of the entire Liaodong.

The previous Wei Yi, although he was tied with Liaohou, did not dare to go too far. King Zhongshun is different from Wei Yi.

He is a clan, a prince, and the emperor's uncle, and his confidence is not comparable to that of outsiders.

Not waiting for the court's reply.

Jia's mansion is a threshold, helping Jinjiang town to stabilize its relationship with the country.

~~~~~~
Haizhou.

Although Jia Yucun established the Liaodong capital, it turned out that there was Shi Nai's cooperation.

Who knew that Shi Nai suddenly patted his butt and left.

He is different from Shi Nai.

Shi Nai had his younger brother Shi Ding to help him speak in front of the emperor. The emperor and Shi Ding had a bond of affection, but Jia Yucun did not have such a bond of affection.

With the departure of Shi Nai, the good momentum of the Liaodong capital immediately took a turn for the worse, and it was once again reduced to nothing.

He was originally an in-law with the Marquis of Ping Liao, so he didn't bother to maintain it anymore, he just muddled along.

The officials of Jinjiang Town organized the people to cultivate outside the city, and they were full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, but Haizhou City was very quiet.

Pacing back and forth in his own courtyard, he felt restless.

Until Zhang Yuncheng came to visit him.

Zhang Yuncheng was born in the imperial examination and was originally an official of the Ministry of household affairs.

Jia Yucun was also born in the imperial examination. He was Zhang Yucheng's senior in the imperial examination and had been an official for more than ten years. Now he is Zhang Yuncheng's superior.

Like Jia Yucun, Zhang Yuncheng also had some contacts with Jinjiang Town, and had a good relationship with Chen Deyan in the capital.

At the beginning, Jin Jiang Zhen repeatedly played to the Supreme Emperor, asking for food and military pay, and hated the court. He also helped to speak.

At that time, his mentor Fan Hao was still in the cabinet, and his fellow disciples Lu Zhongheng and Han Hao were both in Beijing, and the momentum was not small.

However, with the death of the Supreme Emperor, everything disappeared, and he came to Liaodong to take refuge.

Jia Yucun had someone prepare food and wine, and the two drank lightly on the stone table in the courtyard.

"Although you have been stuck for a while, you are young, and you will have a great turnaround in the future. Unlike the old man, that is the real dilemma."

Looking at the young face, Jia Yucun lifted him up and said.

Flower sedan chairs are carried by everyone.

Zhang Yuncheng practiced his words in the capital, being respectful and polite.

"Jia Gong can deal with it calmly between the imperial court and Jinjiang Town, and he is the senior that the younger generation can emulate."

Hearing this, Jia Yucun was not only not relieved, but put down his wine glass in desolation.

The Liaodong Dusi, who was in a good situation, suddenly took a turn for the worse. Although he appeared indifferent to the outside world, he seemed not to care about his achievements.

In fact, he is an official fan, how can he let go of his future.

Such a gesture is nothing more than comforting himself.

at this time.

Suddenly someone came to pass it on, with an eager look on his face.

"We have sent an army from the west of Liaoning, and they have already arrived at Xining Fort, posing as if we are about to cross the river. The Jinjiang army at Niuzhuang Post is ready."

"what?"

Jia Yucun was shocked.

Don't even let yourself mess around, neither of them dare to neglect, and hurried to find out the situation.

As soon as he went out, some officials arrived at the capital of Liaodong and brought the order of King Zhongshun.

The officials of Liaodong Capital Division were required to go to Tashanpu to take over the documents of Jinjiang Town and manage the affairs of people's livelihood.

Jinjiang Town gave up Haizhou City, but set up a government office in Tashanpu, Haizhou, to be in charge of civil affairs.

"This?"

Jia Yucun and Zhang Yuncheng looked at each other, King Zhongshun took their lives to persecute Jinjiang Town.

There are less than a thousand soldiers in Haizhou City, dare to grab food from the Jinjiang army?

"How many soldiers did King Zhongshun send?"

Jia Yucun asked the key point.

"Only a thousand people."

Hearing this answer, Jia Yucun knew that he would not be an official for long.

outside the city.

Zhu Xiu, who was in charge of military affairs, had scouted horses and brought back military information before the Liaoxi Army had crossed the Shuangtaizi River.

Knowing that there are only more than a thousand people, Zhu Xiu didn't understand what King Zhongshun meant.

Jia Yucun found Zhu Xiu and informed him of his intentions. Zhu Xiu quickly understood King Zhongshun's purpose.

It is false to send troops, but it is true to use Jia Yucun to force Jinjiang Town.

As the commander-in-chief, Zhu Xiu didn't have as many scruples as the officials of Jinjiang Town. Although he knew the overall situation, he paid more attention to the danger of the army.

Haizhou is related to the food road for the Jinjiang army to attack the barbarians in the future, and it cannot be controlled by outsiders.

Since King Zhongshun was so deceitful, Zhu Xiu politely sent troops, invited Jia Yucun and a group of officials, and sent them back to Jinzhou.

At the same time, it officially took over Haizhou City.

More than a thousand soldiers in the city were dumbfounded.

The original military governor Shi Nai resigned and returned to China, and now the officials of Liaodong Capital Division have also been captured by the Jinjiang army, leaving only these soldiers.

The army moved quickly.

Jia Yucun and the others had already boarded the four-wheeled carriage in Jinjiang Town and were driving on the straight road without leaving any explanation.

The generals of Haizhou City, facing the yells of the besieging Jinjiang army, had no clue in their hearts and did not know how to respond.

When the soldiers of the Jinjiang army approached the city wall, the defenders of Haizhou did not dare to shoot a single arrow.

Zhu Xiu wasn't even there, only a battalion commander was sent.

When the news of Haizhou's recovery came, Zhu Xiu was not surprised at all.

Zhu Xiu is not stupid.

When Jia Yucun brought the officials of Liaodong Capital Division to demand a purpose that Jinjiang Town could never agree to, he guessed the other party's intentions.

The other party was testing Jin Jiangjun's reaction. If he was serious, he would have delivered it to his door, but his life would be safe.

It also eliminated his notoriety in the city, facing the siege of the Jinjiang army, neither willing to stick to it, nor dared to open the city gate to surrender.

Being captured is better than surrendering.

The Liaoxi army in Xiningbao was in full swing to cross the river, but they did not cross the river for several days until they found out the situation in Haizhou.

This army of more than a thousand immediately broke out and retreated without any regrets.

"it is good."

Knowing that Haizhou fell, King Zhongshun was not only not angry, but laughed instead.

Immediately reported to the imperial court, and sent someone to contact Mongolia outside the city in the west of Liaoning, and even hesitated whether to take the initiative to contact the barbarians.

Make multiple moves to prevent gold from attacking.

The entire army in western Liaoning was under martial law.

Liaodong.

The calm and the sea make a world of difference.

Jia Yucun and his party arrived in Jinzhou in a few days.

The one who arrived before them was the news sent by the horse.

These riders only stopped for a moment in the gatehouse before they were hastily invited in by the officials.

The government office that has been expanded several times has long been different from the small temple of the past.

In the Jiedu Mansion of Jinjiang Town, which is separated by a wall from Pingliaohou's Mansion, there is a row of gatehouses on both sides of the main entrance, and people who come and go can rest in the gatehouses.

Behind the main entrance is the vestibule, fifty steps forward, on one side is the military office, and on the other side is the office room of the sub-envoys, deputy envoys and other officials.

Passing through this place is the atrium, and there are officials in the left and right hatchback rooms to handle errands. The middle hall is the place where the Marquis of Ping and Liao met with officials.

And the general will work in the study, or a side room in the middle hall.

Passing through between the main rooms, there are several large rooms, including a map room, and a main hall where dozens or even hundreds of people discuss matters.

Around ten steps along the wall, a circle of houses was built to enclose these buildings.

There are dozens of corridors, and the larger ones are the Sike Yamen, as well as various warehouses, stables, garages and so on.

Many civil and military officials work here, and it has become the political center of Jinjiang Town, linking all parts of Liaodong.

Eleven cities, many county towns and military forts, more than four million people, more than one hundred thousand soldiers, thousands of fishing boats, and hundreds of warships.

An inconspicuous young man with a slightly immature face, wearing a long gown, holding a document in his hand, hurried on his feet.

"Qin Zhong."

When I met an acquaintance, I stopped him.

Xue Biao didn't recognize each other until he approached.

"It's you, Xue Biao."

Xue Biao has been in Jinzhou for more than a year. Although he is only a clerk, he has already integrated into the Jiedu Mansion of Jinjiang Town.

Qin Zhong is the younger brother of his wife, although he also started as an official, even if some people are unwilling to flatter him, no one will despise him.

Both Xue Biao and Qin Zhong entered Jinjiang Town by relying on their relationship with Ping Liaohou, which is different from most officials from Liaodong.

The two were about the same age and soon became friends.

Glancing at the official document in Qin Zhong's hand, Xue Biao smiled.

"I invite you to drink tonight."

"If you want to spend money, I'm not polite to you."

Hearing Qin Zhong's words, Xue Biao didn't take it seriously, seeing that the other party was busy, he didn't say much.

Xue Biao is handsome, talented, good-natured and well-cultivated. Even though he is still young, he has already been praised by others.

He has been nurtured since he was a child, and his vision is extraordinary. In addition, he has a good family education and a positive character.

Compared with ordinary people, this kind of children can get twice the result with half the effort when doing things, and they can get started with everything easily and without restraint.

Qin Zhong is a son of an official. Compared with Xue Biao, he is more rigid in his work, but not as smart as Xue Biao.

Therefore, some people are more optimistic about Xue Biao, while others are not. They think that doing things in the officialdom is different from the ordinary world, and they need to be rigid and rigorous, but they think that Qin Zhong is better.

Evaluation anyway.

Tang Qing'an was quite satisfied with these two youngsters of his own family, and was willing to vigorously cultivate them, so as to cultivate reserve talents for Jinjiang Town.

When Qin Zhong took the official document and handed it over to the officials outside, Marquis Ping Liao in the hall was discussing urgently with Feng Shengzhi, Xie Youcheng and others about Haizhou affairs.

"It's not worth the candle."

Feng Shengzhi was dissatisfied with Zhu Xiu's actions.

This is the different opinions brought about by their identities. Zhu Xiu thinks more about military affairs, while Feng Shengzhi thinks about state affairs.

Although Haizhou City is not in Jinjiang Town's hands, the fields outside Haizhou City are in Jinjiang Town's hands.

Although it doesn't take up the name, it takes advantage of it, and there is room for relaxation with the court.

Xie Youcheng heard the words, but did not defend Zhu Xiu, thinking that King Zhongshun was too hostile to Jinjiang Town, and Haizhou would not be easily in the opponent's hands.

When the real army was fighting on the front line, King Zhongshun suddenly cut off the Jinjiang army's supply road, how could he not be on guard.

"It's easy to take Haizhou, how to explain to the court?"

Feng Shengzhi asked back.

Both have their own reasons, and neither can convince the other.

They analyzed the gains and losses from the affairs, and Tang Qing'an was also thinking about it.

Haizhou City has already been captured, eliminating hidden dangers in the military and ensuring the future operations of the army outside the country.

Let it go, I will definitely not let it go again.

Tang Qing'an couldn't ignore the army's thoughts, and insisted on going his own way, only caring about the thoughts of civilian officials, and wanted a bowl of water to be flat.

Even Zhu Xiu, who has always been prudent, has to take down Haizhou City, which shows the spirit of the frontline army.

For the military, guidance is needed, not hard-line suppression.

"Arrange someone to contact Chen Deyan as soon as possible to report the situation of the civil unrest."

Tang Qing'an said aloud.

His thoughts were different from those of the officials present.

Officials still don't believe that the civil unrest can really make the Great Zhou die, because it has never happened in history.

If there were no accidents, the civil unrest in Da Zhou would be the most developed peasant uprising in history.

The rest of the meaning is not mentioned, only the result is that the peasant uprising army overthrew the feudal rulers in a real sense.

Both the people and the feudalists, the people's first complete victory.

But the price of this victory was too high, and the time spent by both sides was too long.

As for the founding of the former Ming Dynasty, it was different. The object of the overthrow was not the feudal lord.

After all, civil unrest is civil unrest. Even if some soldiers join in, on the whole, whether it is ideological understanding, combat capability, or military organization, they all show naive characteristics.

Over the years, the peasant uprising army has been suppressed many times and cannot hold its head up, but it can never be extinguished by relying on the fire of the prairie fire.

According to the trend of time and space.

The current rebel army is at a time when the fire is booming, and it was not until the elite frontier troops from other places joined that the momentum of the rebel army was suppressed.

The best strategy is to mobilize domestic relations based on this situation, so that the court cannot take care of both ends. It must appease Jinjiang Town and eliminate the rebel army first.

"Tell Chen Deyan, let the imperial court know a truth, to fight against the outside world must first secure the inside."

Tang Qing'an's words stunned everyone.

"That's a wonderful statement."

Lin Ruhai was the first to react, clapping his hands and smiling.

Lin Ruhai, who is talented and well-educated, immediately thought of the source of this sentence, which came from the Spring and Autumn Period.

Facing the external invasion by Rongdi, the decline of the internal royal family, and the rivalry between the princes, Qi Henggong, the first overlord of the Five Hegemons in the Spring and Autumn Period, proposed "respect the king and reject the barbarians".

Respect the king first, and then fight the outside world.

It is exactly "to get rid of the barbarians, we must first settle down inside".

Jinjiang Town is outside, and the rioters are inside.

To deal with the imperial court in this way, there will be a great chance that the imperial court will not turn against Jin Jiangzhen.

Lin Ruhai is extremely supportive of the general's strategy.

soon.

Everyone made a plan.

……

One day, two days, three days.

None of the soldiers of the Jinjiang Army crossed the Daliao River.

Lushun.

Jia Yucun and other officials did not receive the slightest criticism, and they did not worry about their lives.

Until someone came to invite them and told them that they would be sent back to the country, everyone felt uneasy.

Life is safe, the future is unpredictable.

Surprisingly, Marquis Ping Liao actually came forward in person, sent everyone to the pier to board the ship, and told Jin Jiangzhen that he was loyal to the court.

"Uncle Shi, I hope you go to Fujian."

Tang Qing'an pulled Jia Yucun with a smile on his face, showing no sign of worry about the deterioration of the situation.

He even began to plan the future of Jinjiang Town, and proposed to let Jia Yucun go to Fujian.

"After returning to China, it would be a blessing to be exempted from prison. How can I go to Fujian to be an official?"

Jia Yucun forced a smile.

"Uncle Shi, worry too much, the Jinjiang army is always the army of the imperial court, it's just a small friction, how did it get to this point, I have already written a memorial to explain everything to the emperor.

With the emperor's sageness, he must be able to understand Jin Jiang's army, and the responsibility is indeed not mine. "

Tang Qing'an smiled confidently.

Jia Yucun has been an official for more than ten years, and he has been a marquis for several years.

When it comes to domestic intelligence, Jia Yucun is far behind.

Including King Zhongshun.

When he came to Liaodong, he also focused on Liaodong, ignoring the domestic situation and making a wrong judgment.
