Chapter 299: Meeting Gao Qiu for the First Time
"Where are the war horses now?"
Jiang Chen asked with a frown.
He asked Li Yan to buy this group of war horses from the Uighurs for training cavalry. It was related to many of his subsequent plans. It would also be of great use to quell the Fangla Rebellion, so there would be no mistakes allowed.
"In Xianfeng Gate! At present, the people from our Royal Chamber of Commerce are confronting Song Yunheng and the others.
But it shouldn't be delayed for long, because Duke Cao also passed by and brought a large number of imperial guards, which was simply to rob him openly! Sir, please go over and take a look!"
Deng Hao looked anxious and sweaty.
"Duke Cao? Why did he emerge? I didn't seem to offend their Cao family, right?"
Jiang Chen frowned at first, and then thought of the list of accounts presented by Cai Xie. He suddenly realized it and at the same time he felt relieved.
He said to Deng Hao: "Don't worry! I'll go to meet the official family now. Even if they snatch it away, they will have to return it to me."
After saying that, he was about to get up and say goodbye and leave.
Zhu Yinian called him: "Good time, wait! Let me lead a team of brothers from the Jimin Army to delay it. Otherwise, even if you can get the war horses back, I am afraid that the ones who have been dropped off the bag will be a group of horses.
Those priests rely on the achievements of their ancestors, even the officials dare not give face, and there is nothing they can't do."
"Okay, I'll bother Brother Zhu like this!"
Jiang Chen did not expect that Zhu Yinian, as a member of the nobles, would be willing to offend the Duke who had military power for him. After taking a deep look at him, he quickly rushed to the residence of Emperor Huizong of Song.
...
Song Huizong was living a "two-man world" with Gao Qiu who had just returned to Beijing, and his eyes were red and he told the past.
When he heard that Jiang Chen had an urgent matter and asked for a meeting, he came in.
After greeting each other, Jiang Chen looked at Gao Qiu curiously.
Gao Qiu in front of him is not only tall, thin, majestic and handsome, but also slightly dark in skin, giving people a very capable and loyal feeling. It is completely different from Gao Qiu in Water Margin.
Jiang Chen knew that most of the Water Margin were fabricated, and there were almost no records about Gao Qiu in real historical books.
The only black spot that Gao Qiu was recorded was to lead the imperial guards to engage in real estate everywhere, which caused the imperial guards to lack training and lose their combat power.
But in the Northern Song Dynasty, dragged by the three carriages of Song Huizong, Cai Jing and Tong Guan, what could Gao Qiu do without the imperial guards making money everywhere?
Turn the tide?
If the source of energy does not continue to meet Song Huizong's demand for money, I am afraid that even the military power cannot be preserved?
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but explore and make friends with this "ally" who was suppressed by Cai Jing and Tong Guan.
He bowed with a smile and said, "Xiaoguan has long heard that Gao Daren is extremely brave and has unparalleled strategy. He fought against Liu Zhongwu and Liu and won many battles against Xixia. Today, he is really lucky to see him for three lives!"
Um-
"Jiang Shaoqing is too proud. If you can meet the disciples of immortals in person and send me meritorious officials, you should be honored by this official."
Gao Qiu's face was awkward and he replied in a low-key manner.
He dared not say that he would win repeatedly, and he would not mention it far away. In the fifth year of Guangzhenghe, Liu Zhongwu led a 100,000 army to attack Zangdihe City in Xixia, and tens of thousands of people in Qin Feng's third army were killed.
However, because Liu Zhongwu bribed Tong Guan and Song Huizong's great success, the battle was finally promoted to turn defeat into victory, which made Liu Zhongwu not only not guilty, but also took the position of his former boss Gao Yongnian.
As a military supervisor, he received a large reward from Emperor Huizong of Song.
"Haha, you are all honored? Then should I have two good ministers at the same time? "
When Song Huizong saw Jiang Chen and Gao Qiu, he felt like he was the same when he saw it. He smiled with great relief and asked Jiang Chen: "Liangchen, aren't you here to meet Gao Qiu specifically today?"
"You really can't hide anything from your master!"
Jiang Chen smiled flatteringly and said bitterly: "Master, in order to prevent our Limen Jimin Army from losing your reputation, the disciple specially asked Lord Li Yanli to purchase a batch of Uighur war horses for training purposes. You know this.
But who expected that as soon as the war horse arrived today, Duke Cao and the new Minister of Revenue Song Yunheng and others intercepted and seized them.
The disciples suspected that they were dissatisfied with the disciples who wiped out the underground old poles, ruined their financial path, and maliciously took revenge on their disciples, but there was no evidence, so they could only ask you to make the decision for them!"
kindness?
This Jiang Chen...
Gao Qiu didn't expect that when he met for the first time, he met Jiang Chen and reported to Song Huizong. He couldn't help but look weird.
Song Huizong's face was solemn, and he frowned and said, "The imperial guards are not fighting now. What are they doing to grab the war horses? Could it be that they are trying to jump over the wall with a hurry?"
A dog is desperate to jump over the wall?
Not that serious, right?
Is there something secret that I know about in Bianjing?
Gao Qiu's face was full of surprise and he heard it inexplicably.
Jiang Chen nodded with agreement and said, "If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of one. They even dare to do the underground emperor, but they are afraid that they will lose their awe of their masters long ago. It is definitely not wrong to take precautions first."
As Jiang Chen spoke, he glanced at Gao Qiu and asked, "Officials, Gao is good at fighting and is good at commanding troops. He is also your close friend. It is yours. It is necessary to let him take charge of the imperial guards. Only in this way can he ensure that Bianjing is safe and sound!"
this……
This proposal is good, very good!
Gao Qiu had long known the relationship between his sons and Jiang Chen, and also knew how much benefit he had taken from Jiang Chen. Seeing Jiang Chen seeking military power for him, he immediately had a lot of favor.
While looking at Song Huizong in anticipation, he pretended to be humble and said, "No, this matter must not be done. In terms of qualifications and background, how dare I compare with those princes?"
"You did not have enough qualifications before, but now...hum! You should temporarily take the position of the palace commander. When I have taken care of those old guys for you, I will hand over the imperial guards to you for your care!
I dare not believe any of those people!"
When Song Huizong thought of the list in the account book and the title of "underground emperor", he couldn't help but feel hatred and fear.
"Thank you for your trust in the official family. I will devote myself to my dedication to you until I die, so as to repay the official family's kindness!"
Gao Qiu was overjoyed and immediately thanked him for confirmation of this matter.
Now there are three yamen in charge of the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards, namely the Palace Front Office, the Guards’ Personal Army Cavalry and the Guards’ Personal Army Infantry.
The generals serving in the three yamen are collectively called the military governing army and are the highest-level generals among the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty.
Below are the commander commander, the deputy commander commander and the Du Yuhou, with a total of nine officers, as the commander of the three yamen.
The three yamen governed the imperial guards, guards and infantry departments across the country, and nominally controlled the wing troops in various places.
Generally, the Privy Council, which is presided over by civil officials, and the Three Yases are restrained by civil servants, and the Three Yases are used to regulate military forces. The three Yases each unified a part of their troops in order to restrain each other. The purpose is to improve and consolidate the imperial power and prevent military warriors from changing.
