The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 265
Liaodong turmoil, who is the hero.

Su Guan, Chief Secretary of Shandong, returned to Jinan from Jinzhou with regret. As a provincial official, he governed six prefectures, fifteen prefectures, and 89 counties.

Sitting silently in the study.

In the huge study room, the bookshelves are full of books, and many precious scrolls are inserted in the painting jar with glazed luster.

Even so, it still looks a little empty.

Outside the door of the study, the butler was waiting to serve him, knowing that the master at this time did not allow anyone to disturb him.

Everything is quiet at night, which makes people think quickly. The situation of Jinjiang Town and Jinzhou circled in Su Guan's mind.

a long time.

He moved suddenly.

On the dark desk, flat calligraphy is being polished, and the pen is flying like flying.

"The entire territory of Liaodong, 25 Wei and two prefectures.

The imperial court only had five guards in western Liaodong in Liaodong, and the newly established Jinjiang Town restored the four guards. The remaining sixteen guards and two prefectures fell into the hands of rebels. "

I stopped writing here for a while.

There are still some details, Su Guan thought about it, but he still didn't write it down.

His memorial is very important, it is related to the future situation of Liaodong.

If he really wrote it all down, I am afraid that the imperial court will take a firm attitude, not only will not support Jinjiang Town, but will suppress it instead.

In his view, the current imperial court should not fall out with Jinjiang Town, and the best policy is to take it slowly.

Judging from his memorials literally, Jinjiang Town has only four guards, and its strength is not as good as that of Liaoxi, so I subconsciously think that it is the least powerful side.

This can fool you that you have never had contact with the court in Jinjiang Town, but you can't hide it from Shandong officials.

Denglai, Shandong, is responsible for transporting supplies to Jinjiang Town, and they are somewhat familiar with Jinjiang Town, even though Jinjiang Town has been blocked.

The vast majority of the 25 Wei Er prefectures are in western Liaoning, then Shenyang, Kaiyuan, and Changtu.

Countless castles were built relying on the side walls outside the western part of Liaoxi and the northern part of Liaozuo.

The western part of Liaozuo is a rich plain, where the main farmland supplying the entire Liao army town is located, and it is also a place where military households are densely populated.

The central part of Liaozuo, even the east, and the north are all in the wilderness and old forest.Inaccessible and difficult to develop.

In addition, the southern part of Liaozuo and the eastern part are all seas, so there is no need to guard against the enemy.

Comprehensive consideration, so very little energy has been invested in these places, no population has been relocated, military guards have been set up, and farmland has been reclaimed.

Therefore, in addition to the Golden State in the south, the left central part of the Liao Dynasty, the east, and the huge land, there is actually only one Dingliao Right Guard, which is Fengcheng.

It is also why Jinjiang Town was not taken seriously by the court when it occupied Jinzhou, the east bank of Changbai Mountain, and Zhenjiang.

Except for Jinzhou, the other two places have no population or land.

Even if Tang Qing'an regained the Changbai Mountains in the middle of Liaozuo, it did not attract too much attention.

Because these places were originally barren mountains and wastelands.

Although it occupies the land, it is useless.

But the imperial court did not understand the situation in Liaodong and ignored a key factor.

population movement.

Jinjiang Town became a funnel in Liaodong, and countless Liao people poured into Jinjiang Town from this funnel.

Su Guan has not yet figured out how Tang Qing'an managed to fight against the barbarians and feed the millions of people all these years.

It wasn't until Tang Qing'an regained Fuzhou and Gaizhou last year that the court paid attention and changed his attitude.

Because Fuzhou and Gaizhou are rich places, they are originally the essence of Liaozuo, plus the original Jinzhou.

The frontal fields in the three places are as high as more than two million mu.

Only two million mu of land can meet the food needs of more than one million people. This is what the court fears.

But it's too late.

Su Guan sighed.

For several years without attracting attention, Jinjiang Town has quietly reclaimed millions of acres of land on the east coast, Zhenjiang, various islands, and islands borrowed by North Korea.

Jinjiang Town is becoming self-sufficient.

Tang Qing'an is really a strange person.

Su Guan continued to write.

"Tang Qing'an is a strange man, full of wisdom and strategies. He has been at sea for several years, retreated from powerful enemies, established Dongjiang Town, and gathered millions of soldiers and civilians.

It is more beneficial to be an elite soldier, and the hearts of the people are complete. This person should not be moved lightly. The only way to win over this person is the best strategy.

Looking at this person's behavior, he is really not an ambitious person who causes chaos. He has benevolence and righteousness in his heart, that is, there is benevolence and righteousness. The court should use benevolence and righteousness to show it.

Moreover, Jinzhou is uneasy, and Jinjiang Town is needed to delay the barbarians. With such a strong relationship, it is definitely not an opportunity to cut off Jinjiang Town's military pay and food.

If it is forced not to make peace with the barbarians, it will be a serious disaster for the court.

The people should be delayed, and the barbarians should be rejected together, so as to obtain the rest of the year, so that the imperial court should establish new reforms, sweep away the contours, and eliminate the long-standing disadvantages.

In the beginning of the rule of Daxing, the national power is prosperous and strong, and it will win without moving. "

Su Guan finished writing what he thought in his heart, but he could not predict whether the court would accept his suggestion.

The imperial court hoped that Jinjiang Town would send troops to Jinzhou to directly assist Jinzhou, but it did not want Jinjiang Town to be another old military strategy.

One is worried that Jinzhou will not be guaranteed, and the other is worried that if Jinjiang Town regains Haizhou, it will get another rich place and stronger strength.

But his memorial still played some role.

The imperial court's treatment of Jinjiang Town was not as tough as before, and began to hesitate whether to resume the supply of Jinjiang Town's supplies.

There are still three thousand nails in the wreck.

What's more, the current Dazhou has not yet reached the point of overthrow.

It has a vast territory, billions of acres of fields, and billions of people. There is still a lot of water that can be squeezed out, and tens of millions of taxes, taxes, and supplies can be harvested every year.

For example, in the manufacture of military weapons, Dazhou did not spend money to buy them, but collected corvees from craftsmen and households to exempt them from taxation.

Even the various raw materials used in the manufacture of military weapons are also conscripted, rather than purchased with money.

Therefore, the cost of manufacturing weapons is very low in Dazhou, and the bulk of the expenses are just some labor expenses.

The same is true of the needs of the rest of the countries.

Therefore, although Da Zhou collects a small amount of silver every year, the value of various materials is far beyond comparison with silver.

If these materials are converted into silver money, Dazhou can still receive tens of millions of taels in kind every year.

Even though the Great Zhou had a lot of bad governance, it still retained the ruling power of the government in various places, especially in the south.

Dazhou has hundreds of thousands of battalions all over the country, relying on the acropolis in the border areas, and taking defense as the military strategy, the defensive military has been established, among which there are millions of military households.

There are also endless township militia organizations in the interior, and the national military strategy can be described as solid as gold.

The walls of the frontier are visible and can be breached.The invisible city wall is absolutely impossible for external forces to break through.

Since the beginning of the imperial court, Jinjiang Town has not been supplied for five months.

The number of troops in Jinjiang Town is 5.

34 taels of military pay and 12 shi for food and grain, Da Zhou can squeeze it out, and it is not at the end of the mountain.

In order to keep Jinzhou, the imperial court promised to supply Jinzhou.

But Jinzhou must send troops to support Jinzhou.

Tang Qing'an agreed.

As long as the imperial court makes up for the lack of military pay and food, he can use Jinzhou's savings to send [-] soldiers to Jinzhou, and at the same time send [-] soldiers to contain the barbarians.

If you want to dispatch the entire army of Jinjiang Town, you need to supply the entire army, as well as civilian husbands, pack horses and other food.

The materials for at least three months total more than [-] stones.

As well as two thousand war horses, thousands of pack horses, mules and donkeys, and other supplies and so on.

It is Zhang Yuncheng, a fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, who is responsible for traveling between the two places.

Although Zhang Yuncheng is a Beijing official, he is not like a Beijing official.

He is Han Hao's classmate. He went to Shaanxi Nuclear Food a few years ago. After returning to Beijing, because of Han Hao's connection, he has a good relationship with Chen Deyan.

Because in Shaanxi Nuclear Grain, unlike the capital officials who understand the situation in Shaanxi through documents, he has his own understanding of Shaanxi.

The civil uprising in Shaanxi is extremely dangerous, and more than half of the frontier troops in Shaanxi have fled, and many of them have mixed in with the refugees.

Whenever there are major changes in Shaanxi, there will be no soldiers available anywhere in Shaanxi.

He had warned the imperial court in Shangshu, but unfortunately the imperial court did not pay attention to it. It was not that the imperial court did not want to take care of it, but that it was unable to do so.

Tang Qing'an had read his memorabilia, and knew that he had a good relationship with his third brother, and had also spoken for Jinzhou, so he showed great respect for this man.

Even if the other party is only a fifth rank official.

When Zhang Yuncheng met Tang Qing'an for the first time, although he knew that Tang Qing'an was very young, after meeting him, he was still deeply moved.

I am just a messenger, and it is not easy for the big bosses of the imperial court to come forward, otherwise there will be no room for maneuver if the talk collapses, and instead, my own people will keep their words light and easy to handle.

No one cares about being face-swept.

So he acted very casually, knew his status, and did not feel arrogant because he became the special envoy of the imperial court.

Tang Qing'an did not meet him at the yamen, but chose the mansion to show that he valued the personal relationship between the two.

The servants offered tea and other things.

The two exchanged pleasantries, as if they had been masters for many years, although they met for the first time, they were enthusiastic.

"If the court agrees to Marquis Pingliao's request, will Marquis Pingliao be willing to lead his entire army to Jinzhou?"

Even though he knew that the other party would not agree, Zhang Yuncheng still kept talking.

This is what the imperial court most hopes that the other party will agree to.

As long as Marquis Ping Liao let go of this matter, the imperial court will greatly change its view at least in this period of time.

Tang Qing'an smiled.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Yuncheng didn't continue to ask.

He didn't rank high in the examination, so he couldn't compare to Han Hao, let alone Lu Zhongheng, so he was assigned to the household department as a hard worker.

He has been used to praising people over the years, and he was not used to being praised by the Marquis of Ping Liao in Jinzhou.

Therefore, he didn't want to waste his words on the impossible and cause the other party to look down upon him.

"[-] soldiers are too few, and [-] soldiers are even less. Does Marquis Ping Liao want the domestic army that was transferred earlier to go to Jinzhou?"

Tang Qing'an knew that she couldn't hide her thoughts from anyone.

The court chiefs are very shrewd.

Hearing Zhang Yuncheng's clear question, he nodded without concealing it.

"Supporting the Jinzhou court requires [-] soldiers, including [-] Jinjiang soldiers, and [-] soldiers to contain the barbarians."

Zhang Yuncheng didn't mention the matter of grain and grass, which shows that the imperial court approved his first plan and wanted Jinzhou to contribute his savings.

Tang Qing'an shook his head.

It's so beautiful.

"Thirty thousand soldiers go to Jinzhou, Jinzhou supplies their food and grass, [-] soldiers go to contain the barbarians, and Jinzhou supplies themselves."

Zhang Yuncheng is ready to continue the negotiation.

Tang Qing'an looked at Zhang Yuncheng sincerely.

"Ping Liao for five years is my ambition, and it has never changed. The reason why I only have ten thousand soldiers to contain the barbarians is that I only have savings to supply ten thousand soldiers."

When Zhang Yuncheng heard the words, he stopped talking.

The imperial court has supplies for Jinjiang Town.

However, Marquis Ping Liao did not want to lead his army to Jinzhou, so the court also did not want Marquis Ping Liao to rely on the supplies of the court to expand his strength as before.

Otherwise, if one trouble is not resolved, a new trouble arises.

Su Guan of Shandong Chief Secretary.

His memorabilia still worked.

Even if Jinjiang Town is not completely forced, causing the other party to make peace with the barbarians, it will not be allowed to continue to expand its strength.
