Chapter 223 Another year
In Pingyang County, south of Zhangshui, Xiao Qi, the governor of Jizhou, has stationed troops here since the beginning of winter.
All because the Yuzhou rebels were driven away by the imperial court's three-way soldiers and horses, and they had to retreat all the way to the north of Yuzhou.
In order to prevent the rebels from fleeing into Jizhou, Xiao Qi, the governor of Jizhou, had to cooperate with the imperial army and stationed troops in Pingyang.
In Pingyang County, the snowfall in the past few days has caused the roofs and streets to be shrouded in a vast expanse of whiteness.
In the county government office, all the generals gathered together, eating roasted mutton and drinking wine around the stove, feeling very comfortable.
"My lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to go home for the Chinese New Year this year. What are the arrangements for celebrating the Chinese New Year in Pingyang?" the staff member of the governor of Jizhou asked after taking a sip of wine.
Xiao Qi put down his wine cup, looked outside the door coolly, and said, "What arrangements can we make in the ice and snow? In order to prevent the rebels from crossing Zhangshui into our Jizhou, everyone is on duty in shifts, and other people who are resting can play as much as they want."
Speaking of the rebels who were driven to the north of Yuzhou, the generals in Jizhou felt aggrieved. The imperial court gave them several orders from Emperor Huiyuan to let them put down the rebellion with soldiers and horses in Jizhou, but they have been waiting and watching, maybe The world is in chaos, and they can profit from it.
"Speaking of which, this new queen's behavior is a bit confusing. She doesn't return to the capital in the twelfth lunar month or is in Jiankang cat winter, but sticks to the front line of the battle. Isn't she worried that her soldiers will not be able to withstand the severe cold? "The person who said this was the eldest son of the governor's mansion, Xiao Baoyin, the eldest son of the governor Xiaoqi.
The staff looked at Xiao Qi, who was sitting at the top, and said: "This is not the most troublesome thing, the most troublesome thing is that the imperial court issued several decrees asking us to cooperate with the imperial court's three-way army to suppress the rebellion. They drove the rebels to the border of Jizhou, and the imperial court forced us to take action!"
Sitting at the top, Xiao Qi drank the wine in the wine cup in one gulp, put down the wine cup and snorted coldly: "Hmph! The imperial court is playing a proper conspiracy, and we have to accept it!"
As soon as these words came out, the generals below fell silent immediately. Everyone drank and ate meat. I really don't know how to break this situation?
At this moment, Xiao Qi never thought that the imperial court not only asked him to send troops, but also wanted the rebels to break the deadlock in Jizhou, in an attempt to redefine the power of Jizhou, and strengthen the imperial court's rule over Jizhou.
The staff thought for a while, and then suggested: "My lord, this winter is extremely cold. Many livestock in the Jiliao area froze to death, and the grasslands are even more difficult. Why don't we report this situation to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to allocate funds and food to help the people in the disaster-stricken areas survive?" Through this harsh winter?"
Xiao Qi frowned slightly, and glanced at the crowd, "This time, Jiliao General Soldier Meng Shaokui sent a report. The people in Jiliao area are having a hard time, and the Beidi herdsmen are also suffering this winter. They are human beings and livestock. Countless people froze to death, and when the ice and snow slowly melt in the spring of next year, if you want to come to Beidi, you will be offended again!"
After hearing what his father said, Xiao Baoyin's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "As long as we explain the situation here to the imperial court, I don't believe that the imperial court will dare to embarrass us regardless of border security?"
The staff looked at Xiao Qi, who was at the top, "My lord, no matter what decision the imperial court will make or how to deal with this problem, we must report the current difficulties. Don't let the imperial court think that we are enjoying the blessings in Jizhou!"
Jizhou occupies a very large area, most of which belong to the land of Yanzhao, occupying a vast fertile plain area, and ranks first in Kyushu both in terms of population and economy.
The difficulties in Jizhou must be taken seriously by the imperial court!
When the news reached Jiankang Southern Court, all officials were shocked.
Damn it!
What the officials are most afraid of is that when Beidi suffers from a disaster and cannot survive, he will use the strength of the whole family to enter the customs and fight the grass valley.
If all the military power of Beidi came to invade the border, even if the imperial court recovered a little strength, it would not be able to withstand the devastation of Beidi!
"If Beidi invades after the snow melts next year, we just don't know how the defense capabilities of the passes along the Great Wall will be. The border defenses of Bingzhou and Jizhou such as Huangyaguan, Yanmenguan and Pingxingguan should be strengthened."
The first to stand up was the Minister of the Ministry of War.
Li Jingfu, the Emperor Jianyuan, nodded after hearing what he said, and asked, "Since Aiqing has a regulation for handling this matter, I would trouble you to submit the specific implementation plan in written form to Zhen Yulan in two days' time!"
No!
Minister of the Ministry of War: "." Specifically, how does he know how to arrange defense?
Even though he knows how to arrange the defense of soldiers and horses, if the Beidi soldiers and horses break through the defense, will his position as Minister of the Ministry of War still be secure?
Zuo Pushe stood up, greeted him and said, "Your Majesty, should I send a copy of this report to the Empress and His Royal Highness? They are stationed in the capital, where it is closer to the Great Wall pass and more dangerous!"
Emperor Jianyuan held back his anger and asked: "The queen and the prince will definitely send a copy, but the court handles the military situation, you will not still count on the queen and the prince?"
What a bunch of treacherous ministers with dead bodies, the court is raising a bunch of trash!
When they encounter problems, they want to shift the responsibility to women and children. Haven't they thought that if everything can be solved by women and children, then the court still needs to support them?
Could it be that they are raising this group of wine bags and rice bags just to carry on the family?
"The emperor misunderstood. The empress and His Royal Highness are in the north, and the situation is more dangerous than ours. We informed them for their safety."
Emperor Jianyuan stared at the kneeling left servant and snorted coldly, "You know what you think in your heart! However, I have to warn you that the imperial court's salary is not for raising pigs, but for pigs. In order to raise capable ministers, don't talk to me, give me some practical actions!"
As he spoke, he looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War: "You are limited to submit the specific implementation plan to the imperial court within two days!"
Minister of the Ministry of War and Zuo Pushe looked at each other and kowtowed.
Two days later, when the early court was over, he sealed the imperial pen, and it would be next year when he came to the court again.
Emperor Jianyuan didn't take care of the military minister's report two days later. After he came down to court, he copied a copy of the report from Jizhou and sent it to Xia Jing as soon as possible.
It’s just that no matter how fast the letter was, because of the heavy snow for days, the weather became colder as we went north, and the road was icy and slippery, the messenger couldn’t get up as fast as he wanted.
By the time this report was delivered to Xia Jing, it was already after the Lantern Festival.
Xia Jing handed the letter to Long Yutian and asked, "What do the supervisors think about this matter?"
Long Yutian took the letter and read it, and said with a sneer: "It seems that the governor of Jizhou, the governor of Jizhou, has surpassed the Taizu in martial arts and martial arts!"
This is not a good word, it satirizes Xiao Qi's heart of disobedience, and wants to learn from Taizu and rise up to establish a new dynasty.
Xia Jing agreed with his words, "It seems that some people have been working in the local government for too long, and they don't even know their last name. It's time to give them loose skins!"
No matter how planned to clean up the big officials in Xinjiang this year, but now it's icy and snowy outside, the plan can only be shelved, and we can only wait for the snow to melt.
It has been several years since Xia Jing came to the Great Yu Dynasty. After several years of observation, she thinks that the climate of this period should be the Little Ice Age.
And often history enters the Little Ice Age, which will lead to a sharp drop in the earth's temperature, resulting in a major reduction in global food production, which will lead to violent social turmoil and a sharp drop in population.
For example, in the Yu Dynasty, Beidi, Xirong and other Southeast Asian countries in this period, everyone was weak, and whoever wanted to win could only take one step faster.
Of course, Dayu is already speeding up because of Xia Jing's crossing. If it develops normally, I believe that Dayu will get better and better in the near future.
Coming out of the conference hall, Xia Jing saw many soldiers looking happy, so she asked Ye Fei, "What's going on?"
Ye Fei glanced at the passing soldiers, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said: "It's already the festival, and it's the end of the New Year. In the morning, many people picked up pickaxes to dig ice. Now that they look happy, they should It brought back a lot of fish."
"Oh, then let's go and see, if we really harvested a lot of fish, let the guy stew pickled cabbage fish to eat today."
Xia Jing also became interested. The meat quality of winter fish is completely different from that of summer fish. Winter fish is more delicious and not as fishy as summer fish.
She has been with Dayu for a few years, and gradually made this mouth tricky.
The same ingredients can now tell which season is more delicious. This change surprised Xia Jing herself. In the past, she thought it was good to have a stutter.
On the ice surface of the Zhangshui River outside the city, there are many soldiers and soldiers, in groups of three or four, some of them are digging ice, some are fishing for fish, and some are carrying the baskets full of fish ashore, ready to be transported back to the county. Inside.
Seeing the basket full of fish, Xia Jing also had a look of joy on her face.
"Tonight we will eat hot pot."
Ye Fei responded with a smile: "Your subordinates will arrange it later, empress, be careful, the ice is slippery!"
"Mother!"
Standing by the side, Li Chengmu was watching the soldiers turn into fishermen. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xia Jing, and immediately walked over with joy.
Xia Jing glanced at the guards behind him, frowned slightly and said, "The situation is not clear now, you should bring more guards with you when you go out from now on, and the dozen or so guards are a little less!"
Li Chengmu looked back at the guards he had brought out, although he felt that the dozen or so guards out of the city were enough, there were many other soldiers on the ice, no matter how powerful an assassin would dare to come to him The base camp was engaged in assassination, but he did not refute, nodded and said: "Son, remember, I will pay attention next time I go out."
Xia Jing saw that he had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, so she stopped talking, but walked around the ice, feeling the happiness of the soldiers.
"Queen, the hole is about to be dug open. Would you like to catch the first net from this hole and experience the joy of fishing?"
While Li Chengmu was speaking, cheers came from the front, and the hole was dug open.
Xia Jing rolled up her sleeves, grabbed the fishing net that Chang Lu was holding, and walked over.
The first net was washed by big waves, and the net was sunk and then fished up, and a few fathead fish were caught.
"Wow, Queen Mother, you are really good. You caught several big fish in one net." Li Chengmu took Xia Jing's fishing net and poured out the fish.
Xia Jing then fished another net and smiled: "Tonight we will eat fish, a whole fish feast!"
"Just the two of us?" Li Chengmu moved closer to Xia Jing, pointing to the fish on the ground, "These are quite a lot, can we eat tonight?"
"If you can't eat it, call other generals, or call the captains of the personal guards!"
"Wow, it's so lively here!"
When a man's voice came from behind, Xia Jing was startled, and turned around to find that this man was an unruly man in Yuzhou City.
With a face that is disastrous to the country and the people, coupled with his flamboyant clothes, this person is very recognizable.
The guard was very wary of this stranger who suddenly appeared, and looked at him secretly, the more he looked at him, the more uncertain he became.
How did this man break through their defenses?
Li Chengmu's eyes were vigilant, and he turned his head and asked Xia Jing in a low voice: "Mother, who is this person? He can approach us quietly, and we have no precautions against it. If there is a trouble, none of us would rather die than submit! In the end It's just a lose-lose."
Xia Jing stared at Feng Zhang, shook her head and said, "I don't know him either!"
In fact, I saw her twice, but those two times she had covered her and rushed back in a hurry. The people who waited on her didn't know about it.
Feng Zhang didn't recognize Xia Jing at all. In the first two meetings, Xia Jing was wearing night clothes that outlined her figure, but now she is wearing loose robes, and she wears a lot in winter. Might still recognize her.
"Fengzhang has met the empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"phoenix?"
Xia Jing frowned slightly, "It seems that there are very few people with the surname Feng in Beidi."
Li Chengmu looked at the person who came, and he looked even worse than him, "What is your relationship with the governor of Youzhou?"
Governor of Youzhou?
Xia Jing looked at the person who came, the governor of Youzhou whom she had never seen for several years?She was a little curious about what his parents looked like?
Feng Zhang stepped forward with a smile, and bowed respectfully to Xia Jing and Li Chengmu.
Then he said: "In Xiafengzhang, the governor of Youzhou is my father."
"Young masters of the governors, are you all so idle?"
"It's nothing." Feng Zhang pointed to himself, "I'll be wandering outside all the time during the Chinese New Year. When I have free time, even if I can't help my parents, I can support my family by doing some business."
Xia Jing didn't believe his words at all. In order to do some business, she didn't even go home. What is more important than the family reunion during the Chinese New Year?
Unless he has a reason to stay!
Moreover, I have met him several times in the dark, if he is said to be digesting food, only ghosts will believe it!
Feng Zhang is so vague, Xia Jing has every reason to suspect that he is the ancient version of the military leader!
I just don't know why he broke into the barracks alone this time?
Li Chengmu didn't understand, so he asked: "The eldest son of the governor of Youzhou, does your governor's mansion rely on you to do business to support the family? Otherwise, you wouldn't be allowed to participate in the reunion banquet?"
Feng Zhang was a little embarrassed when he heard this, "Your Highness, your family did not ask you not to attend the reunion banquet, but your subordinates are used to running around, and because the business in Yuzhou has not been arranged, they have no time to go back .”
"Oh." Li Chengmu responded lightly, not knowing whether he believed it or not.
Back in the city, Xia Jing and others parted ways with Feng Zhang. She didn't care where he lived, and took Li Chengmu back to the county government office, planning to make a fish pot later!
