Chapter 813 The eldest son
In mid-April, the shogunate and the Liang Kingdom simultaneously ordered the selection of trackers, miners and more than 2,000 people from good families in the five counties of Chen, Liang, Nanton, Xincai and Xiangcheng to make up for the black The right camp was broken up and replenished by the Yinqiang and Heiyi armies.
In addition, hundreds of strong men were selected from Bianliang and Xianbei to join the Yi Cong army.
......
After the army has filled its vacancies, rigorous training will begin.
At the same time, there are more than 400 martial arts students from Liangxian, Xuchang and Bianliang universities who completed five years of study in March after the epidemic is over. Except for those who have joined the army, the remaining three Most of the more than a hundred people were sent to the 20 counties of Liang State. Most of them served as county officials, and a few outstanding ones were awarded ninth-rank officials.
Among the twenty counties of the Liang Kingdom, in addition to the five counties of Hedong, Pingyang, Yangping, Chenliu, and Ruyin, Chen, Liang, Xincai, Puyang, Ji, Dunqiu, Hanoi, Xingyang, Taiyuan, The ten Xinxing counties have all been severely ravaged by war, and many places are completely white.
The existing people either moved from other places, or the kinship structure collapsed during the war. There are not many powerful people and powerful families in the local area. The first generation of powerful people are still accumulating family property, and even their parents and wives Children also have to work in the fields, which is very suitable for martial arts students who have no local roots to gain experience.
The four counties of Wei, Chenliu, Jiyang, and Runan have been reorganized for many years, and the power of the wealthy families has been weakened to a certain extent. After the land transfer is completely completed, the situation will change even more.
As for Shangdang, it is the territory of Liu Yena's brother Liu Runzhong. It is dominated by Jiehu, supplemented by other miscellaneous Hus, and there are very few Han people. Shao Xun once promised that the Liu family would join the party hereditary, but he had no plans to break his promise and wait.
Throughout April and May, the recruits were training, and Shao Xun held a series of meetings to discuss the situation in Xianbei.
At the beginning of May, Yu Miao returned from Xinshan. He left with more than ten officials and officials, but when he came back he lost one-third, and the one hundred righteous knights and hundreds of Taiyuan Xiongnu soldiers who escorted them , then the loss is more than half.
Shao Xun specially held a banquet in Shanglin Garden in the west of Pingyang to entertain Yu Mian and his party.
"Su Shuyan lived quite comfortably in Daijun. He felt very comfortable when he heard that Wang Feng gave him several beauties." Shao Xun swept through everyone one by one and said, "Helan Aitou is a rough man. I I thought he would be angry and resolute, but he turned out to be a rough and treacherous man. Yuandu, tell me, will he send troops?"
"Not necessarily. "Yu Mi sighed and said: "In fact, there was a proposal to move the capital last year in Shengle, and Helan Aitou, Wang Feng and others had already investigated it. At that time, Helan contacted He Xi, He Douling and other ministries, but he did not. It went well. The servant Yu Yixinshan persuaded him that as long as his troops entered Shengle, the king would send out troops in three directions to attack the northern and southern capitals and support Helan. However, he hesitated and pondered undecided. "
< br>"Can you change your mind now?" Shao Xun asked.
"After autumn, in order to boost his prestige, He Li summoned nobles from all tribes to go hunting in Shengle. The chieftain was killed because of Yulu, and not many people came, so He Li was all. Later, epidemics broke out. From winter to spring, there was no end, and many people died. Everyone in the grassland said that this was a punishment from heaven. He Li became more and more afraid, so he decided to lead hundreds of civil and military officials, concubines of the six palaces, craftsmen, musicians, and soldiers to go eastward to borrow the opportunity. During Queshuang's inspection, he considered Dongmugen Mountain as the capital. "In this case, Helan Aitou may not be able to send troops."
Why not send troops? Because he was afraid, he drove He Li and his son out of Shengle at the same time, which seemed to have achieved part of his purpose.
This is a fierce and cowardly person.
"Did he accept the book?" Shao Xun asked.
"Took it, many nobles from the tribe have seen it."
"Would it be safer if we sent another envoy there now?"
"If Qi mother and son go to Dongmugen Mountain, they will definitely Take away a large number of tribesmen, sergeants, and officials who are loyal to them. Tuoba Yihuai is now thirteen years old, and he is ready to marry on the grassland. Helan Aitou will definitely use this nephew to influence the tribes, and it should be much safer."
When Shao Xun heard this, he felt happy, got up and walked around on the grass, smiling and said: "Even if the Xianbei cannot be allowed to attack each other, it is good to split them into three parts."
"Exactly." Yu Mi said: "If the king attacks Tuoba Heli, the great people in the west may not come to rescue him. At most, only a few troops will send troops to rescue him for Tuoba Yiyong's sake, but He Li , His temper is a little soft, and he is not liked by the nobles of the grassland. "
"That's right." Shao Xun put one hand behind his back and stroked his beard with the other, smiling clearly.
If he had not intervened and just sat back and watched Tuoba Xianbei's internal self-determination, things might not have come to this.
Even if the Qi family and their son couldn't stay with Shengle in the end, and ran eastward to seek support, it might be several years later.
He accelerated the evolution of conflicts.
"Yuandu." Shao Xun turned around, looked at him, and said: "You may not know all the affairs of Honglu Temple after you have been there for more than half a year. Now there is a second temple chief. If you are from the sixth rank, you should serve as Honglucheng first.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the promotion." Yu Mi paid his respects.
The official promotion was less than he expected. Maybe the King of Liang did not want him to leave Honglu Temple.
In addition, Shanglin Yuanling does not know who will take over. This position is actually quite critical.
******
The choice of Shanglin Yuanling was unexpected.
On the fifth day of May, Shao Xun ordered that the Shanglin Garden Order be given to his eldest son Jin Dao.
Shao Zhang, the famous name of Golden Sword, was born on the twentieth day of the first month of the second year of Yongjia (308). This will be the fifth month of the seventh year of Shengui (323). He is fifteen or sixteen years old, and he has reached adulthood in ancient times. , it’s completely possible to talk about marriage.
"There are more than 800 households of official slaves in Shanglin Garden, half of them are Chang'an people, half are Diqiang and Xianbei, and there are hundreds of soldiers, all of whom were surrendered by the Huns." Shao Xun said while climbing the stone steps. : "More than two hundred miles back, there are pines, cypresses and five trees, beautiful water and lush grass. The flat land under the mountains can be cultivated, and the mountains can be grazed. The cattle and sheep are fattened, and the horses are handsome."
As he spoke, he turned his head and looked After a moment, she stretched out her hand, pulled Le Lanji, and said, "Why are Tao slaves so far away from me?"
Le Lanji pursed her lips and smiled, panting and followed her, holding Shao Xun's arm. .
"If it weren't for the golden sword, I would have carried you on my back." Shao Xun said.
Le Lanji patted him gently.
Golden Dao also followed behind, giggling and lowering his head.
The harmonious relationship between mother and father is exactly what he wants to see.
The three of them chatted and laughed, and soon walked up the stone steps and arrived outside the courtyard of a palace built on the mountain.
This is Liu Cong's summer palace. There are stone steps carved on the mountainside, and bricks and tiles are fired at the foot of the mountain and transported up the mountain. The resort is built with a mixture of blue bricks, strips of stone, and large wood and covers an area of several acres. manor.
Protagonist Huang Zheng stood under the tall gate and gently opened the gate. A family of three moved forward.
"This is the bakery, this is the oil mill, this is the warehouse, this is the equipment warehouse, and there is a water mill on the left side of the courtyard..." Shao Xun introduced the courtyard one by one: "Sparrow Although it is small, it has all the necessary features, including the official offices.”
The huge courtyard is covered with bluestone slabs, and several towering trees rise from the ground, casting mottled shadows.
Outside the courtyard is a forest of towering pine trees, with birds landing on the branches and fluttering uncertainly.
The environment is quiet and the air is fresh. It is actually a good seclusion, but it is not so for young people.
"This will be your residence from now on." Shao Xun patted his son on the shoulder and said, "Jindao, if you can manage Shanglinyuan well, my father can rest assured that you can manage a county."
Le Lanji took out the silk and gently wiped the sweat on the tip of Shao Xun's nose.
Seeing his parents being so loving, Jin Dao was entrusted with an important task for the first time. He was filled with pride and excitement, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Grandpa, I will take good care of this place."
< br>Shao Xun clapped his hands.
Huang Zheng understood and soon blew the horn.
After a while, there was a sonorous sound, and a hundred warriors came to the square outside the courtyard and stood in the wind.
Each of them leads a horse, is wearing shiny armor, has all kinds of equipment, and looks very capable.
"Lexiu, see the king, the prince, and the madam." The strong man, who was about thirty years old, stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said loudly.
"Your uncle is very kind to you. He is worried that you will not be able to control the old people of Shanglinyuan, so he specially selected a hundred people from Nanyang who are skilled in martial arts." Shao Xun said: "Go and meet your warriors. From now on, they will be yours."
Jindao was stunned for a moment, then held his breath and walked out of the courtyard.
"Meet the prince." Hundreds of soldiers saluted in unison.
Shao Xun winked again.
Huang Zheng waved his hand, and soon, the silk that had been prepared long ago was brought over by the soldiers.
Huang Zheng trotted away again and whispered a few words to Jin Dao.
Jin Daozheng was in a state of excitement. Hearing Huang Zheng's words, he immediately reacted and said, "I will give you two pieces of silk. From now on, as long as you work diligently, you will be rewarded."< br>
When he said the last few words, his voice changed slightly.
Shao Xun and Le Lanji looked at each other and smiled.
"You gave me a good son." Shao Xun said softly.
Le Lanji didn't know what she thought of. She fell gently into Shao Xun's arms and started crying.
Shao Xun hugged her and said in his ear: "Don't cry, don't cry, I just wish I didn't meet you earlier. Now Jin Dao has grown up, and Xiang Pu (born in February of the ninth year of Yongjia) ) is also charming and smart, and she should be happy to have her children by her side."
Le Lanji hugged him tightly and hummed.
Shao Xun took out the silk again and wiped Lan Ji's tears.
The soldiers outside the hospital have already lined up to leave. Jin Dao stood awkwardly outside, as if watching the scenery.
After comforting the woman, Shao Xun came out of the courtyard.
The father and son stood side by side in the square, looking at the river valley and mountains in the distance.
"Your brothers will also have to experience this in the future." Shao Xun said.
Hearing this, Jin Dao's excitement subsided slightly.
It turns out that everyone has to be like this, he is not special...
"There are so many things in the world, and my son is not qualified to lie at home and enjoy them." Shao Xun said again.
After experiencing this pandemic, I have thought about many things.
Life is so fragile. If you are not careful, you may die from war, hunger, or disease. You may even risk falling to death while riding a horse.
During the period when the epidemic was at its peak, Shao Xun thought a lot.
He once boasted of his bravery, believing that even if an assassin came close, he could kill him with his own hands.
But what if it’s a plague?
He is not sure how long he can live, let alone how far he can go.
Some things should be arranged in advance.
Jin Dao is over fifteen years old. He has practiced literature and martial arts since he was a child. His literary talent is better than him. It’s time to come out and practice.
Managing the more than 4,000 soldiers and civilians in Shanglinyuan is his first step. Shao Xun will continue to observe this son.
