Tang Qi Tan

Chapter 612 Untitled
Of course, the Yunmeng bandits who once wandered in Jiangxi, Hunan, Jingnan, and Xiajiang, defeated several routes of government troops many times, and spread to several states; they were destroyed in just a few days, and even the 72nd Lianhuanwu was destroyed. After the news of the destruction spread to Jiangling Mansion, there was an endless uproar.

For a while, some people were happy, some were worried, and some people couldn't sleep at night; but most of them were unbelievable voices, or simply thought that this was just an over-whitewashed and exaggerated victory, just like in the records of the government's crusade many times before, The records of those who were swept away by Li Ting were mediocre.

However, when the corpses of those giant aquatic beasts that were specially selected to be displayed as trophies were dragged back to the embankment outside Jiangling City with the requisitioned ships, all doubts and speculations filled Jiangling Mansion. , All of a sudden lost his voice.

But the one who became more excited and active from this was Zhong Sunji, who was the supervisory censor of his own way.As if he suddenly found the meaning of working for many years, he signed a lot of official documents in a very cooperative manner; in the following days, he continued to arrest people and summon them for interrogation.

Although most of the Yunmeng thieves gathered in Qianjiang County have either become deformed aliens or become the blood of their former companions; , Still obtained a lot of evidence and clues that are constantly involved in the local area.

Therefore, with the gradual stabilization of the place after the war, it officially entered the stage of settlement after autumn.From the chief officials of the Six Caos in Jiangling Mansion to the officials of the three divisions and four envoys, almost everyone was implicated; and the temporary detention center was overcrowded, and the imperial historian's office was always full of people.

And those local officials who secretly shirked or dragged their feet when Pang Xun led the army out were also interrogated and examined by the Imperial History Academy; The suspicion of incompetence also vacated a lot of positions by the way.

But for all of this, Jiang Tian just watched with a cold eye. The purpose of going south to Jiangling when he was in danger was basically achieved; the process of rebuilding and restoring order around the local area, the resulting power game, and the power struggle within the officialdom are not what he wants to care about. of.

Whether it is Zhong Sunji, the supervisory censor who seized the opportunity to make use of the issue and brushed up his own sense of existence and performance; or Pang Xun's selfishness and self-defilement means of "clear grievances and grudges" and "revenge for revenge, never stay overnight"; As long as it is not too much, Jiang Tian will let it go.

He is more concerned about the details exposed in this battle, or various lessons learned from it; he thinks that he can complete the special corresponding instruction manual that is being compiled so that it can be extended to more armies and places, It can also minimize the losses of some soldiers and civilians.

By the way, from the local officers and guest troops who participated in the war, some soldiers with extraordinary courage, firm belief, excellent physical fitness or special expertise were selected; they were included in the waiting list of the fifth battalion of laymen.As an emergency mobile force stationed on one side in turn, their daily wear and tear is not small.

Therefore, in addition to the expanded staff of the Fifth Battalion, a number of military orders were also specially designated as follow-up supplementary sources.For example, the original left and right regiments of the Xijing Lixingyuan were roughly derived from the origins of the left and right Jinwuwei and the Sixth Street Envoy of Jinwu; later, Zuowuwei and Youxiaowei were added.

Then it expanded to the township soldiers of the nineteen military prefectures in the west of Beijing... As for Jiang Tian, ​​the supervisor of the Xijing Liyuan, in addition to selecting experienced players from the lay troops, or reviewing and recommending candidates ; It is also possible to determine a certain number of waiting places for each battalion of laymen;

This is also a disguised return of Pang Xun's favor, as a reward for his full cooperation from beginning to end.In fact, after this battle, he also revealed some privately that he hoped to maintain and deepen the cooperative relationship for a long time, and even represented the intention of some people to secretly join the sect...

However, Jiang Tian only initially accepted his kindness, but at the same time, he needed more time to observe and test.But what was discovered behind the Yunmeng Bandit Rebellion this time is intriguing; for example, the newly established Beast Worship/Kirin Society in Jiangling Prefecture, and the Yunmeng Bandit that merged with it.

Different from the beast disasters that roam around and cause trouble in the north, the Beast Worship Cult that is active in the south has successfully changed its appearance and hibernated; if it wasn't for a series of changes in the world that forced them to take action, maybe they would still be able to survive. Hiding deeper in the dark.

And the relevant people involved in it include local officials, wealthy businessmen and big households... Even the looming princes and vassals behind the scenes, are there people involved?This is a bit scary.But I don't know when it started to be infiltrated and influenced by monster forces.

But in any case, with the change of Jiangling/Yaoluan calmed down; this hub that controls the upper and lower reaches of the river has also regained its safety and smoothness.To this end, more than a dozen regional business associations/guild halls in Jiangling City, as well as more than 50 market proprietors, jointly contributed a large amount of money to reward teachers.

In addition to the previous seizures in the depths of Yunmeng Daze, in addition to the gold and silver artifacts handed in as spoils of war, the remaining large amount of treasure is also the default legal income.Basically, they were all distributed by Jiang Tian according to the amount of effort and performance, plus the specific achievements.

In other words, the wealth resources of the two worlds can be obtained anytime and anywhere, and Jiang Tian no longer looks down on these incomes.In contrast, a large amount of silk and tea had been piled up in Jiangling Mansion before, and now he was able to quickly escort the silk and tea leaves going north, which is the key point that he should pay attention to...

According to some of the inside information and news secretly revealed by Liu Zhan before his departure; this seems to involve the long-term stability of the foreign princes and the stability of the suzerain-vassal system.For example, the princes in the north of the Great Wall/outside the Great Wall also occupied a very important ecological niche in the enfeoffment system of the Tang Dynasty, Siyi and Nine Borders.

This is not only because of the value of this generation as the heartland of the Tang Dynasty, the buffer zone on the grassland and the outer barrier; it also has a corresponding economic model and a supporting tribute system that has been in operation for many years.

In other words, after the predecessor of the traverser, Liang Gong, after defeating and disintegrating the grassland power headed by the Huihe Khanate, he also designed a set of so-called enfeoffment systems for princes outside the Great Wall to fill the gap left by him.It is along the grassland and rivers, and the meritorious men are entrusted.

Of course, with the relatively backward production methods and fragile ecological system on the grasslands, it is actually difficult to support too many off-duty people, and even maintain the complex feudal bureaucratic system of the Central Plains.Therefore, it is a necessary condition and key to compensate these princes outside the Great Wall and maintain Sinicization.

The most preferred method is to incorporate its resource output tailored to local conditions into the huge tribute/trade system centered on the Celestial Dynasty.Facts have proved that the cost of purchasing ore, livestock, fur and woolen products by the imperial court alone is much less than the military expenditure of Bibian all the year round.

And after these princes outside the Great Wall set foot on the grassland, in order to maintain basic decency and maintain a decent quality of life, they also had to rely on the long-term supply of China in terms of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and daily life; Kitakari.

That is to say, these princes outside the Great Wall will spontaneously gather and organize their troops every once in a while, and go deep into the tundra in the north of the grassland; they capture and plunder like mowing grass, and those wild nomadic tribesmen and fishing and hunting that continue to breed savage.Then as one of the tributes.

Therefore, for the princes and foreign feudal vassals under the current dynasty system, Datang is the central control and adjustment, and the general hub for the needs of all parties in the world; once there is a problem with one of the pipelines or network cables, It is easy to implicate and affect a large area.

And once there is a problem with the center of the Tang Dynasty, except for some vassals who are strong enough to sustain themselves, such as Daxia and Nanhai, it will undoubtedly have catastrophic consequences for other princes and foreign vassals from all over the world.Maybe what happened in Jiangling Mansion is just the beginning?
