Chapter 3 Lending Land (Part 2)
ps: Princess Taiping is a low-key and vulgar thing. I don’t care. It’s to ease the atmosphere. Before the New Year comes, let everyone have fun. It seems unrealistic to break out of the palace, but it’s a little more realistic than borrowing the east wind from the Three Kingdoms. This is a novel. Please let me go and show the protagonist’s force. Gongsun Auntie, there are many people who are entangled, but she is an irrelevant supporting role. A dancer in Du Fu’s poem has nothing to do with the theme, and is also a side grass in this book. I don’t know who is quarreling. I looked at some fans with intense words. For some big guys who are not even apprentices, I don’t want to say it anymore. If you want to scold me, just scold me.
This is not a trivial matter, and Li Xian immediately summoned all the important ministers in to discuss.
But at this moment, Wang Hua suddenly sent someone to deliver a memorial in time. The memorial still called His Majesty, and then said that when Princess Jincheng got married, he made a promise that if Tubo was not good to Princess Jincheng, he would try his best to rescue Princess Jincheng back to the Tang Dynasty and punish Tubo. At this time, the situation in Tubo was in a difficult situation, and it was a time for one to go.
In addition to the regular army, the Blood Battalion also has the operation of the battalion supervising Mo Hegan, which cultivated some strength to make the ministers capable of doing this. At the same time, it also wanted to repay the humiliation of Dafeichuan, seized two important lands, Jishishan and Dafeichuan, and contributed to the security of the Hexi and Yixi borders.
But if the villain in the court is in power, it is possible that I will fight bloody battles. Later, some villain will encourage Your Majesty to use troops to destroy the Great Wall. Therefore, I temporarily borrow the land of the Eight Prefectures from Your Majesty. It will take up to five years, and then return all the Eight Prefectures of Your Majesty, as well as the Dafeichuan and Jishishan that may be recaptured. If Your Majesty does not believe it, please report this memorial to the world.
In the eight prefectures, the war horses that the imperial court will not move, and will continue to be handed over to the officials of the imperial court's horse government. Unless in special circumstances, some war horses will be called in emergency situations, but they will be returned immediately afterwards. There are also cotton fields and private industries that are opened by major families. The ministers will not move. Several large salt ponds are also continued to let the imperial court run, regardless of whether they are concerned.
Wang Hua did not mention anything about his forced out of Luoyang.
Borrow land?
Li Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment.
At this time, Wang Hua stood on the city wall and looked southeast. The southeast was Liupan Mountain, which was a natural barrier in Yinchuan, but many people have not yet realized the role of this mountain. There is also a mountain in the northwest, Helan Mountain, which is where Yue Fei dreamed of breaking. But the function of this mountain is to block the cold air in the north. The Yellow River flows slowly through the middle, making this small plain the best planting base.
The people want food, and soldiers also want food and grass.
So Wang Hua attacked this place.
He was thinking about the conversation with Zhu Tong when he arrived. After Wang Hua disappeared from Luoyang, another person also disappeared. Zhu Tong resigned from his official position and disappeared. But no one paid attention and thought that he had also gone to Oceania.
In fact, Wang Hua did not inform him, and this was to let Zhu Tong make a choice between the Tang Dynasty and him. Because now is the time to break up.
As a result, Zhu Tong came to Shannan. This made Wang Hua very pleased. Now his subordinates still lack brave generals, and they may soon have to fight on a large scale. Although there are many brave generals, Wang Hua still felt that it was not enough. The main reason was that Ge Shuhan was too young and had not grown up yet. Other people who could stand on their own, such as Guo Zhiyun, Zhang Xiaosong, Xiao Song, and Zhang Shougui, were all good generals who could be literary and martial, but unfortunately, Lao Wu was taken away and was not in the blood camp. Even Kong Heizi had enough force, lack of literary and talent, or lack of strategy. So he still felt that he was short of generals.
But compared to this, there are even less counselors. Zhu Tong's arrival has made up for some shortcomings.
Zhu Tong asked as soon as he met, "Erlang, what are you going to do?"
How to do it? Wang Hua said his plan again, and then Zhu Tong asked again: "I know you don't want to kill each other, and I agree with this."
Speaking of this, Zhu Tong sighed. Whether it was Wang Hua or himself, he was weak-hearted. What Wang Hua lacked now is a wise but extremely cruel counselor. This kind of indecisiveness and pity are good, but it may not be a good thing in the current situation. It may not be fatal, but it will cause them to suffer incomparable hardships.
"You did this with the least effort and the fastest speed, and got the Yazhou. The idea was also good, but have you ever thought that this speed was carried out at the cost of weakening control. How many troops can the court immediately dispatch outside the Yazhou?"
The speed was very fast, and it was consistent with Wang Hua's wish, and there was no large-scale civil war. However, although these eight states were not crowded, they had a large area. There was no problem with the three counties of Shanzhou, Hezhou and Lanzhou. The Xuezi Camp was in operation for many years and knew the roots. Moreover, since the Xuezi Camp was stationed here, this generation was rarely plundered by Tubo, and the people did not reject them.
But what about these three prefectures? More than a dozen counties in the other five prefectures are wider, especially Lingzhou, four counties and three armies, which are also the most populous places in these eight prefectures. This is secondary. The Tang Dynasty raised 200,000 war horses in Longyou, and it was all over from Lingzhou to Shazhou and other places. But Lingzhou is the largest war horse breeding base. There is also a salt industry. This will make the Tang government fight with him. Can the other ones be released, can the horses be released? Without horses, can the cavalry come? Without cavalry, can the army still be powerful?
It is indeed impossible to neglect.
Just like now, the speed is very fast. But except for the three states, which are equivalent to complete possession, many county towns in the other five states have not been taken down. It is equivalent to occupying the prefecture city, but leaving a larger vacuum of power. The chrysanthemum bloomed in Lingzhou once, and it was effective. It was caused by the strange army, and the Lingzhou officials were not prepared. But if it opened again, it may not have the effect. If it was not effective, the people who died would lose their visibility.
Moreover, the soldiers who really made Wang Hua feel that it was available, including the 10,000 elite soldiers he transferred from overseas, would not exceed 30,000. Some soldiers were not good at combat effectiveness, and some were late to summon them, especially the troops that Wang Hua had gathered on a large scale during the time of visiting Shannan, which did not meet the combat requirements at all. The combat effectiveness of the Blood Camp was terrifying. They were further selected and selected by the warriors selected from all the troops. After training, do not question the combat effectiveness. But now does Wang Hua dare to cut it?
Although Wang Hua now has 50,000 or 60,000 people in his hands, he was so shocked that the court was stunned. According to the original selection method of the Blood Character Camp, it would not count the 4,000 veterans left, and he would definitely not be able to leave 10,000. But what about the troops around the Tang Dynasty?
In the eight prefectures, the main force of defending Shannan and fighting against Tubo was the Blood-Character Battalion. However, there were more troops in Lingzhou and other territory, reaching 30,000 people, which scared Wang Hua. Otherwise, with this, Wang Hua could have a good drink.
But isn't that the case?
That would be a big mistake. From Minzhou to Weizhou and Fengzhou, this arc line, in order to protect the safety of the capital and prevent the Turks and Tubo people, the imperial court also stationed a large number of troops. If Lao Guo's subordinates were added, nearly 200,000 troops could be summoned immediately to attack him. In that result, he would probably be defeated in Maicheng.
So Zhu Tong said at this time: "My little Hou, on the way here, I thought about taking a step back and the sky is wide open. Moreover, the violence of Quanzhen Sect may not be a bad thing."
"How to retreat?" In fact, at this time, Wang Hua also made arrangements, but he still had to listen to Zhu Tong's opinions. The three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang. Besides, Zhu Tong is not cobblers.
So this memorial was created.
The horses could not show any ambition, and the court had to be anxious. The salt industry was originally very important, but now the salt drying method was released, which somewhat alleviated the pressure on salt. Not only did it take some pilot projects in Qinzhou, but other places. When Wang Hua returned to the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing, he was also worried that the local area would implement it randomly and not achieve results, and instead wasted the country's finances. Not every place is suitable for salt drying, so he chose two places in northern Jiangsu and Youzhou. No registration is accurate in other places.
In fact, these places have better conditions and higher salt volume than the salt field in Qinzhou.
However, due to inconvenient transportation, Lingzhou Huile County Hot Spring Salt Pond, Hongtao, Wuping, Hechi Salt Pond in Huaiyuan County, Wuchi, Baichi, Xixiang Pond, and Wayao Pond Salt Pond in Yanzhou are not only irreplaceable for Bazhou, but also for other places in the northwest, and even northern Shaanxi.
It was also the source of a huge financial contribution of the imperial court, so they were also given up.
Because of development, especially cotton planting, the Yinchuan Plain has unique natural conditions. This involves the interests of many aristocratic families, many of which did not participate in the sailing association because of their roots in the northwest, which means they have no interest in dealing with Wang Hua. They are all local tyrants, and Wang Hua certainly will not be afraid of them. But if they are angry, they dare not take action in the open and make some small moves in the dark, which will undoubtedly make Wang Hua quickly stabilize these eight states, causing difficulty.
Therefore, Wang Hua made a statement again.
It is a good thing to rob the rich and help the poor. It cannot be used in a fierce way. It is like what Wang Hua did in the food war and money war. Everyone developed it, and then transferred the wealth to the hands of the poor again. Doing hard will lead to bad things. In fact, Wang Hua has a deeper understanding of this than Zhu Tong. In any case, although it is the tragedy of mankind, as the largest group, it is the most vulnerable group among mankind, regardless of that era. Social elites are still controlled by a few people. For example, the seven surnames and ten families, the four surnames of Guanzhong, and the Xiao surname of Lanling and others, had more than 200 prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty. How many prime ministers were there in the Tang Dynasty?
Zhu Yuanzhang did a good job in this regard. He was ruthless or not. He greedy for five taels of silver and used human skin to make news and drums. However, he always adopted a policy of winning over the landlord class, so in the end the talent elites joined his disciples, allowing him to defeat the heroes and become the treasure troupe.
Of course, Wang Hua was also doing it, and it was obviously not enough to crack down on it. But how to get rid of the disadvantages of the Tang Dynasty, so they were transferred overseas through a friendship. Going overseas to take troubles, which not only alleviated this disadvantages, but also won the win-win situation with everyone.
However, the reward he received for his hard work was not worth it.
This is a memorial and a strategy.
As long as he can give two to three months to relieve himself, he will be confident that he can fully integrate the eight states. He can also improve the combat effectiveness of the army through strong training. Moreover, he has achieved great justice. I am still a minister of the Tang Dynasty, and I am still fighting for the Tang Dynasty, and I am also the princess who saves it.
Although it was exceeded, it was forced to leave Luoyang for a lifetime. Wang Hua stayed there and did not leave Luoyang because of the current situation. As he said in the memorial, if there was no Eight Prefectures as the foundation, it would be very likely that the court would draw a cold ladder when he fought because of villains. This was the right name.
But as time went by, with Bazhou in hand, there were still many people who had no way to run and Tuguhui people fled. By then, this place would become an iron bucket, which could advance or retreat.
In the imperial palace in Chang'an City, all ministers must consider the idea of Wang Hua.
Wang Hua said that he would rescue Princess Jincheng and fight back against Tubo, which everyone had heard of. Moreover, Princess Jincheng also wrote a memorial and secretly sent it back to Chang'an City.
After going to Luoshecheng, they were all shitty kids and didn't know anything, but Princess Jincheng took Wang Hua's words to heart. No one paid attention to Tubo either. It was not important to have a relationship between Princess Jincheng and Chi Daizhudan. What was important was the role of this marriage. This was the same as Wu Sansi marrying Li Guer back to be a daughter-in-law. No matter what Li Guer and Wu Chongxun have a relationship, it was not important. What was important was that he and Li Xian were in-laws.
When Chi Dai Zhu Dan grew up, there would not be only Princess Jincheng, but as a genuine princess, she must have someone else, or a Tubo. Only such a prince is qualified to be the new Zampu after Tubo. Moreover, Chi Dai Zhu Dan is still young, and it is not time to consider this matter now.
But the little guy may not be able to do anything, but he also understands a little bit after hearing and seeing it. Of course, curiosity is one of them. He has never seen the princess of the Tang Dynasty. He looks white and tender. Although he is not much the same as the Tubo people, he looks very beautiful. So he asked to have a bed together.
What can I do when I have a bed together? At most, I say some childish words, and the boys themselves develop a little later than girls. But Princess Jincheng also understood some things and disagreed. The first time I let the zidaozhudan succeed, but the two of them fought overnight.
The second time, Princess Jincheng became smart and secretly brought a sword. However, if she talked about piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, she would not know how high she was than the ruler, but in terms of force, she could not keep up. Otherwise, she might become the first historical story of the Tang Dynasty princess who killed a foreign king this night. But without any defense, she would still stab the ruler, Zhuzhudan.
The Empress Dowager was annoyed, why was the Empress Dowager? Why did she have the right to speak in Tubo now? It was because of the zizhudan that she called Princess Jincheng and gave her a lesson. Princess Jincheng was young after all, so she threatened to say, "You Tubo dare to treat me badly. If you bully me, I will ask someone to call Wang Hualai and destroy you Tubo."
It was not that easy to destroy. The plateau of Tubo is the best natural danger. But now Tubo is not having a good life. I heard that Wang Hua appeared in Shazhou, and Tubo heard some news. Regarding Tubo's policies, Wang Hua was one of the few tough ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and his military ability was no longer needed to be mentioned. Even the empress dowager himself understood that no matter how powerful Tubo was, it seemed that he could not keep up with Mochuo when he was strong. This time, Di Dayan harmed him again. Besides, Wang Hua was so powerful that Tubo had never seen it, but the blood-character camp was so powerful that Tubo had heard of it. The empress dowager was really afraid that Wang Hua would lead the Tang army to cause trouble for Tubo, so he endured it.
The news that Wang Hua was forced out of Luoyang by Wei Shi came. The Tubo people were so happy that the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Great Wall. It not only destroyed the Great Wall itself, but also helped Tubo get rid of a major problem.
But in this way, the Tubo people no longer had any scruples and became terrible towards Princess Jincheng. Even the guards around Princess Jincheng were dispersed one after another, and only a few guards sent by Wang Hua were left by Princess Jincheng. Seeing that the situation was a little bad, Princess Jincheng wrote a secret message to the court.
This was also sent back through Wang Hua's escort, but no one thought of this.
When passing Shannan, the guard saw Wang Hua. Wang Hua asked him to continue sending the secret message to the capital, but secretly took back the dozens of broken guards. Otherwise, under torture and insult, these guards might not have a good end. At the same time, he quietly notified Princess Jincheng that I did not leave the Tang Dynasty, but was in Shannan, but don’t tell Tubo, and be patient for a while.
This is a kind of brother's protective attitude towards his sister.
When the memorial arrived in the capital, Li Xian was also furious and sent an envoy to question Tubo, but the envoy had just set off for not long.
Many people know Wang Hua's care for Princess Jincheng and his hatred for Tubo. It turned out that it was a joke. The princess of the Tang Dynasty married Tubo, but it was not the fake princess Wencheng. How could the Tubo people not treat Princess Jincheng? It was just that Princess Jincheng suffered a little grievance. What was this marriage? It was a marriage that increased the friendship between the two countries.
Princess Jincheng is a victim in this matter. She was wronged. Now Wang Hua is not the governor of the Blood Camp. What can he do? Will Li Xian agree to ask Li Xian to lead the troops? Even Li Xian also felt sorry for his "daughter". He agreed, but can the officials of the three provinces allow Li Xian to obtain the imperial edict?
But now Chacha Jincheng is really wronged, otherwise the secret report would not have been sent to the capital. Wang Huacha also owns an army, and it seems that there are still many troops.
But now the ministers are not considering the request of Tongbang to send troops to Tubo through Wang Hua. Many people even believe that if Wang Hua is really the Princess of Jincheng, it would be good news to force the eight states to deal with Tubo. They are afraid that he does not mean this, but to have other intentions.
Zong Chuke wanted to say immediately that this was an excuse made by Wang Hua. Maybe he could fight, but just a small fight, so that he could gain a foothold in the Eight Prefectures.
But dare to say it? Just as Zhu Tong said, Quanzhen Sect was a little bit more important than bad things. After opening it once, Luoyang was almost over. It was Wang Hua's mercy, otherwise it would be possible that it would be over. After opening it for the second time, Lingzhou surrendered before it was fought.
Is it really no one knowing that now is the best time to send troops to attack Wang Hua? I missed this opportunity and waited until Wang Hua used his extraordinary means to integrate it and then wanted to attack, it would be even more difficult. Can you fight?
Originally, Wang Hua did not own thousands of soldiers in the Blood-Character Battalion, but now it is tens of thousands, and the court is full of concerns. This fight is equivalent to even more forcing Wang Hua to rebel. Even if Wang Hua defeated Wang Hua, Wang Hua could escape from Luoyang. Could it be that he had no ability to return to Oceania? He was still a local emperor, but what about the Tang Dynasty? The consequences need not be considered, and the devastations are probably impossible to describe at that time.
But if you don’t fight, will Wang Hua make a big shot?
It’s okay to be a big man in Oceania. Even if he is interested, he will go to Africa, America, India, or even be happy and start a war with Dashi for that oil. But now he has been running to Lingzhou. How far is Lingzhou and Lanzhou from Chang'an City?
Wang Hua’s borrowed land was difficult to destroy. Almost all the elites of the Tang Dynasty. Li Xian asked three times, but no one answered dozens of people.
It’s not that there are no smart people. In terms of politics, Zhang said that Zhang Jiazhen should not be mentioned, and in terms of military affairs, Zhang Ren’s wishes should be mentioned. Besides, there is Lao Tang, and Li Xian specially invited him. Not only did Lao Tang come, but he also invited someone, Comrade Wei.
Comrade Wei refused to leave and said that he was sick and could not take care of his life and was unable to serve the emperor.
Li Xian was really anxious now, so he asked a team of Yulin Army to come to Lao Wei's house and forced Lao Wei into the carriage and dragged him to the palace.
But Lao Wei had no idea. If there was, there was a person who could judge with his wisdom if Wang Hua's mentor Di Renjie was alive. But wherever Lao Di came, the only thing he invited was a pile of white bones beside the White Horse Temple in Luoyang.
Moreover, Lao Wei’s personal relationship with Wang Hua made him deliberately avoid this sensitive topic.
He wanted to avoid it. Can Li Xian make him get what he wants? He stared at Lao Wei with his eyes. Lao Wei couldn't see it. We are old and our eyes are bad. Can you not see the gaze you cast? But he was guilty and lowered his head to avoid Li Xian's eyes.
After all this has reached this point, how could Li Xian not understand? Old Wei doesn't speak, so I'd better start first. So he asked, "Wei Qing, what do you think?"
Old Wei shivered, and his heart was full of resentment. You know Wei Qing now. I remember how much hard work I had to help you get to power, and I almost killed me by listening to a few words from Zong Chuke and others. But I have already asked, what should I do?
Old Wei felt so regretful because his grandson-in-law called him to hunt in Zhongnan Mountain two days ago, but in fact he was kind enough to let him relax. As a result, Old Wei scolded him and said that he was not doing his job properly. If he had known this, he would have agreed to it at the beginning.
He was thinking about his thoughts, and Li Xian shouted a few more times: "Wei Qing, Wei Qing."
Old Wei almost wanted to say, you are just a death-hunting ghost.v
