Chapter 695 Shock
In April, the weather is getting warmer.
Since mid-March, Bianshui River and Suiyang Canal have become very busy, with ships coming and going, transporting various supplies.
A batch of grain has just been delivered near Liangjin Pier in the northeast of Bianliang City.
A total of 200,000 dendrobiums of grain were shipped from Pengcheng, passing through Pei and Liang, and then transported to Chenliu.
The amount is not large, but Xuzhou has raised one million dendrobium grains to Qingzhou for disaster relief last year. It will take another two hundred thousand, which is already very interesting. It highlights the "love" of the Xuzhou elders for Liang Gong, a fellow villager. ".
As soon as the food arrived, the strong men and women gathered nearby immediately stepped forward and drove large and small cars to the Liang Palace construction site.
Guanfeng Hall and Huangnv Palace have to be finished, and Lingbo Hall has to start construction, which will cost a lot of money.
For these refugees from Bingzhou, Jizhou, Sizhou and even Tuoba Daiguo, if there is an opportunity to work for relief, they must rush for it.
Everything will be fine, everything will work out. The first batch of refugees who had built the palace city had been resettled and settled in Chenliu, Liang, Puyang, Ji, Dunqiu and other counties.
It is basically the best route for these refugees to provide work-relief for one or two years before arranging their registration.
Near the pier, there is also a large open-air dining hall.
A group of refugees, old, weak, women and children were gathered here and rushed to make corn porridge overnight. They were sent to the school field in the east of the city early in the morning to serve as meals for the sergeants - during the Cold Food Festival, fire was prohibited for three days.
In order to feed the sergeants and prevent them from fainting from hunger when they were arrayed in armor, almond paste and wheat flour were added to the porridge.
The refugees started preparing the porridge a few days ago. They cooked the porridge all night long, and their mouths watered while cooking. It was so fragrant and they made them so hungry. But the sergeants in charge of them were very careful. Guard Chen Qi stayed up all night and went to the north of the city to supervise and supervise them, just for today's military parade.
At this time, the first group of refugees carrying cold porridge set off.
The motorcade meandered for several miles, made a long circle, and arrived at the edge of the school field.
When Chen Jin walked to the outskirts, he saw battalions of sergeants standing in awe with weapons, following orders from time to time, changing their formations, and finally the whole army shouted.
He then looked at the temporarily erected high platform. There were more than a hundred people standing on it, including officials and representatives of noble families from various places.
Chen Jin has seen the military parade more than once. Watching it again now, it is no longer as shocking as the first time. But among the people watching the ceremony on the stage, there must be many who are seeing them for the first time, especially the young disciples who come with their elders. They are usually used to drinking and drinking, and occasionally watch the practice of their own banker and guest steps. When have you ever seen such a solemn and solemn scene?
Chen Jin was a member of the Yingchuan noble clan and the sixth minister of the Liang Kingdom. He knew the thoughts of the scholars very well.
How do you feel when you see me like this today?
I think back then, when Liang Gong’s Silver Spear Army first stepped onto the official stage, it was when Sima Yue disappeared after the failure of the Northern Expedition. When Luoyang was leaderless, hundreds of soldiers garrisoned in front of the Tai Chi Palace, effectively deterring many attempts. A rebellious careerist.
Today's 18,000 people collectively arrayed in armor, which should be a culmination of the essence of the Liang Gong's uprising for more than ten years.
Sometimes it doesn't make sense to reason. Telling others how much strength Mr. Liang has has no effect. They have to see it with their own eyes, so that it can be a deterrent.
Of course, he was not completely satisfied with Liang Gong.
He also complained about the recent restrictions on land occupation. However, the friendship between him and Liang Gong when he was young made him subconsciously defend Liang Gong: he had his own reasons.
Furthermore, he is a Liang Guoweiwei. According to the regulations, he can occupy forty hectares of land, which is actually quite a lot.
He has land in Yingchuan outside Liang State, and a manor near Luoyang. The two places add up to more than 250 hectares. In other words, he actually owns about 300 hectares of land. The land in Yingchuan was occupied before Yongjia, and the Luoyang manor was picked up for free after Yongjia. Someone from the Changshe Zhong family crossed south and gave the land and some farmers to them. He did.
In fact, the main property of these old people who have followed Liang Gong for many years is not in the territory of Liang. After the land occupation order came out, it was just inconvenient to go to Liang State to seize land wantonly. The impact was indeed there, but not very big.
In this world, what else do you want? No one can do whatever they want, not even Liang Gong, let alone them, they can only tolerate each other.
After the cold porridge was delivered, some people were left to guard it, and the convoy returned to its original location and began to transport the second batch.
******
On the high platform, Shao Xun stood with his sword in hand, looking at each battalion.
"Zidao." He suddenly shouted.
"Ming Gong." Lu Zhi, who had become increasingly worried in the past month, stepped forward and responded.
“I heard that there was chaos in Hebei, where is the person who swore to die for me?” Shao Xun asked.
Lu Zhi's heart trembled and he said: "The generals of Jizhou have been following Ming Gong's orders for a long time, and Li Yuan has been thinking about Ming Gong's favor for a long time. Occasionally, there will be small chaos, which can be settled in a moment. Ming Gong can just sit peacefully. In Bianliang, the common people of the counties should be able to deal with it as soon as possible."
"You have to destroy a few families to know how powerful it is," Shao Xun said.
Lu Zhi sighed secretly and said on his face: "I will definitely give an explanation to Duke Ming."
He is the Right Army Chief of the General, and it is his duty to put down the rebellion in Jizhou.
"Go to Yecheng and take charge." Shao Xun said, "Don't let anyone go."
"Yes." Lu Zhi responded.
Shao Xun glanced at the scholars in Henan and Yanzhou again. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at him. No matter what you think in your heart, just don't show off at this moment. If you can't stand the humiliation, you can join forces in private to rebel. If you break out at this time, the consequences will be bad and you won't even have a chance to join forces.
Shao Xun withdrew his gaze and said: "To manage the world, he must first build his country. The government of his country is related to the countryside. An average man's plowing and an average woman's weaving are all accumulated. It has been ten and two years since I ascended to the throne. The old system has been disrupted, and the new system has not been established. The rich are in disorder, and the poor have difficulty in establishing themselves. As time goes by, political affairs are not announced, education is difficult to pass, and Li Yuan is insufficient. Is it okay for the military and the state to be out of service?”
Speaking of this, Shao Xun pointed at the 18,000 soldiers in the audience and said: “This generation has been fighting for a long time and is familiar with military affairs. He is not just a hard-working king. Once the food and clothing are gone, just like a wild beast coming out of the cage, the master and disciples will burn and plunder everything. There are also those who cut off the sword and seize the flag. If you block your way and seize your ambition, you will inevitably invade the castle, burn it and loot it. I don't know how to persuade him."
After finishing speaking, he looked at the Prime Minister Yu Chen and Shangshu Ling. Pei Miao and others said: "The clearing of the land must not stop, but it only stops at the fifteen counties. The matter of honoring the officers has been pending for a long time, and they are still arguing. How long will it be argued? Let it be done quickly. Don't delay."
"Yes," Yu Chen and others responded.
Shao Xun took another look at the county officials and government officials.
The words were spoken very clearly and the hammering was done very well. So far, people like Wang Yan, Yu Chen, Lu Zhi, Pan Tao and others can actually understand and are ready to take a small step back. On the contrary, the opposition from the people below is not small, with all kinds of overt and covert contradictions, and a lot of strange words.
Let us use what happened today to shock them again. Let them think carefully, should they give in a small step happily, or should they gather their own troops and make it a lose-lose situation?
The struggle for interests touches the soul the most, so torture your soul.
These ferocious beasts can still be contained now. They still have some hope in you, but when they are completely disappointed, they will not be able to contain them.
After looking away, Shao Xun looked at another person: Guo Rong, the general of the Northern Han Dynasty who was captured on the Hanoi battlefield.
Shao Xun did not send him to Luoyang to increase his reputation, but pardoned his crime and worked with the military adviser Zhang Bin. This is mainly because a group of people from Taiyuan came to pretend to be his entourage and participated in today's military parade.
Shao Xun waved, and Guo Rong immediately trotted over and saluted: "Ming Gong."
"How is this soldier?" Shao Xun asked.
Guo Rong really watched it carefully just now, from beginning to end, without missing a beat.
Last year he turned against the enemy in Shanyang and surrendered. In fact, it was because of the general trend that he surrendered without fighting.
When he was under Shi Le's tent, he spent most of his time hanging out with Shi Hu, mainly in the Shangdang, Hanoi, and Jijun areas. He fought against the Yi Cong Army, Zhu Sheng Army, etc., and also saw the Yin Qian Zuoying and Hei Yi Army. , but never commanded a fight directly.
At that time, I thought they were very strong when I saw them from a distance. Today, I saw 18,000 iron-armored warriors all at once. They were full of energy and skill, and the military formations were transformed quickly and accurately. I felt so happy in my heart. The impact is very big.
Eighteen thousand! This damn thing can drive more than 100,000 miscellaneous soldiers to work, which is more than enough to guard the fifteen counties of Liang Kingdom.
Just now, he heard a new name: "Bianliang Forbidden Army."
Of course, that was what people said when talking and joking in private, but it was very consistent with the actual situation.
With this army, let alone other places, Liang Gong split the earth in fifteen counties, and there was no problem at all in becoming a prince.
Therefore, when he heard Shao Xun's question, he immediately replied: "There are more than 32,000 Pingyang forbidden troops, and there are only a few thousand warriors comparable to this army. The rest are not enough."
"With this army to attack Taiyuan, can Liu Yao and Shi Le stand in their way?"
"If Liu Yao and Shi Le use Taiyuan and Xinxing troops to fight against them, they will be unlucky."
>"However, there are dangers from mountains and rivers in Bingzhou, how to overcome them?"
"Why do you worry, Ming Gong?" Guo Rong said: "The heroes of Taiyuan are all the best in the world. After being captured, there is not a day when I don't think about the kindness of heaven and earth, and I am willing to return to the old land; there is not a day when I don't think about the virtues of my parents. I swear to kill the jackal and redeem myself. If the Ming Gong flag is pointed, he will win the food and follow him; when the heroes of Daliang arrive, they will march to the city to welcome them. Although the Bingzhou is dangerous, there is no need to be attached to the northern captives since the British lord is in the south. A mediocre chief? "
After hearing this, Shao Xun chuckled and did not express his position directly.
Just like the surrender of the Shangdang, this matter requires them to unify their thoughts internally and clarify their interests. Otherwise, there will be a lot of nonsense and trouble.
After some time, he plans to send military counsel Jiu Wenqiao northward as his plenipotentiary representative to handle the matter in a unified manner.
When the general trend arrives, some things will become much easier.
Taiyuan fell not long ago, and Liu Yao may not have time to establish a solid relationship, so there is an opportunity.
Warm cheers gradually erupted from the audience.
He was given a piece of silk and a piece of linen, and all eighteen thousand soldiers bowed to the ground.
Shao Xun looked at the soldiers from all counties again, chuckled, got off the platform, and accepted the cheers of the soldiers.
With today's news, I believe that the small thoughts in the minds of the nobles will be wiped out.
They can only temporarily curb their ambitions and continue to lie dormant, silently waiting for Shao Xun to make a stupid move and reveal his flaws.
