The fifth chapter Xiangyang first arrives in trouble (2)
Zheng Yunming couldn't help but frown slightly when he heard it. The dispute between the people in the south and the north began to continue since the Tang Dynasty. With the deepening of the sinicization of the southern barbarians in the Tang Dynasty and the so-called "Hu Transformation" in Hebei and other places, the increasingly different living habits and values between the people in the north and the south became a deep gap between the people in the north and the south. If you want to fill such a gap, no matter you are a super talented and powerful generation, it is impossible to achieve.
What's more, since the Jingkang Incident and the Jin Dynasty invaded the south, the people of the north and the south not only have different living habits, but also have become enemy countries. The poets and lyrics lamented that "the remaining people burst into tears and looked at the king's army in the south for another year"; but they did not know that most of the people had long been content with the current situation of foreign rule. If it were not for the Jurchens' wildness and difficulty in exposing some strange political measures, then the hostility of the entire north towards the south of the river would never make people feel that "this was originally a nation."
This problem has now been embedded in the national defense issues of the Song Dynasty. The Huainan side once included more than 100,000 Shandong Zhongyi people. In the Jinghu Defense Zone, most of the forty-five troops under the jurisdiction of the commander were originally paid by Wanyan's salary. After the Jurchen regime resisted Mongolia or the Song Dynasty, the people who participated in the Southern Dynasties were called the Northern Army.
"If the Mongols really swept south, how many abilities would these troops, which were said to be more powerful than the Southerners, have to resist the Mongolian Iron Cavalry that once scared them?" Zheng Yunming was questioning in his heart, but he didn't notice that there was no way out in front of him.
A large group of tall soldiers blocked Zheng Yunming and his party.
Or if you think in another direction, it can be said that Zheng Yunming blocked the path of these soldiers.
"Scholar, you know if you don't block the way!" A team officer in the lead expressed his arrogant arrogance in his condescending words.
"Even if you don't know that you are an official, how can you know that you are a disciple of a saint? A mere soldier is so rude!" Zheng Yunming felt the blood from his heart rushing towards his forehead. He stretched his hand into his sleeve and wanted to take out the imperial edict from the official and teach these ungrateful soldiers a lesson.
But Guo Dachun lowered his head, secretly pulled Zheng Yunming's sleeve, and whispered: "My husband, please be patient for the time being. Even these people cannot be misled by them."
"A joke, it's just a soldier, how could I not afford to offend me?" Although Zheng Yunming thought about this, he also understood the principle that a strong dragon would not suppress a local snake. Since Guo Dachun, who is always in the local area, said this, there is naturally his reason. Zheng Yunming calmed down his blood, snorted, and stood by with his sleeves.
The leading team official waved the whip in his hand proudly: "You southerners are not doing business all day long and are good at making trouble! Tell you that grandpa is a general under Commander Huang and is about to return to the camp to prepare for the expedition! If grandpa's military plane is delayed, and when the Mongolians come and chop you southerners' heads, grandpa will not be able to control it!" As he said that, he whistled and led the large group of people away.
"What a proud soldier..." Zheng Yunming couldn't help but complain: "They are performing their crimes in the city, and your local officers and soldiers don't care?"
"What's the matter?" Guo Dachun also took the opportunity to complain: "The commander Zhao, who relied on these northern troops to fight, is usually very polite to Wang Min, Li Boyuan, and Huang Guobi. It is said that once, Lord Zhao was happy with his little wife, and Wang Min rushed into the inner hall from the yamen to report the military situation. Lord Zhao was not angry at all, just sent the concubine to avoid it. He also praised Wang Min for his decision at the moment, and had the style of a general. You said that the master in charge of Jinghu did not dare to provoke these northerners, so why should we offend people if we were on duty?"
"But if you continue like this, these Qiu Ba will cause trouble sooner or later." Zheng Yunming murmured to himself.
"No, but it's not our business. They can't rebel under the nose of the commander. My husband doesn't care about these northerners. Look, there is the Transportation Office."
Zheng Yunming then looked up and saw that there was a large-scale official yamen not far away.
Li Bodu, the Beijing-Hu Transportation Force, is in a very bad condition.
At the banquet for the Jinghu ambassador Zhao Fan, the rude general Li Boyuan grabbed Li Zhuanyun's clothes and forced him to drink a bucket of fine wine. This Confucian disciple, who was already unable to drink, returned home and vomited and had diarrhea, and hangover for a whole day. He was still drowsy and in unknown years.
It was in this drowsy that Li Zhuanyun envoy unveiled the imperial edict handed by Zheng Yunming himself.
"Uh, it turns out that you are the new official who replaces Consul Tian..." Li Bodu's mouth Consul Tian, after using his wife's dowry to get in touch, had been transferred to Jiangnan to serve as the magistrate of Taiping County.
"Yes, Zheng Yunming, the lower-ranking official, was a Jinshi who was listed in the autumn exam last year."
"A newcomer..." A thought suddenly flashed through Li Bodu's mind. A Jinshi who had just passed the list can get this position, and it is definitely not easy.
Thinking of this joint, he immediately sobered up seven or eight minutes. Li Bodu sat upright and asked in a casual tone: "I dare to ask the little husband's house is..."
Sure enough, I had already seen through this layer, but I deliberately used casual inquiries to explore my bottom. I am really a veteran in the officialdom. Zheng Yunming thought so and sang a promise: "The eldest son in the student's family is named Qingzhi."
"Oh!" Li Bodu pretended to be surprised and beat the case. "It turns out that he was the young master in the prime minister's family. He is really respectful. Come and see the young master!"
"Sir, must not do this!" Zheng Yunming held back the secret smile in his heart, but also had to finish the show: "Since the student should be dismissed in the adult's mansion, he is an ordinary official. The right prime minister, he is the most famous. Should I gain someone outside to rely on his father's domineering reputation to discredit him? Never!"
"This...Mr. Zheng's family style is indeed rigorous, and his honest and humble style is really admirable." After Li Bodu finished the drama, he officially joined the children of the most powerful person in the dynasty. As long as he communicated his relationship with the Zheng family's small officials in the future, he would definitely be sure to become an official in Beijing.
Zheng Yunming laughed in his heart, but pretended not to know the thoughts of the fortune teller, and continued his words: "In addition to asking me to greet the fortune teller, my father also told the officials to visit the Zhao Zhengzhi. After resigning, the officials would go to pay their respects immediately."
"The Chief of the Commander's Officer and Generals had a great banquet yesterday, and he drank happily." Li Bodu looked embarrassed, but when the Chief of the Prime Minister was the most inconvenient, the Prime Minister's son was going to pay a visit, but both sides were people who could not afford to offend: "Lord Zhao has not yet woken up in the mansion, so he may be inconvenient to go there."
"Students are juniors, and even if they are waiting in the hall for the commander to wake up, it is certainly true." If an ordinary person waited for this sentence, Li Bodu might have thought he was humble and polite, but it was a little too much. However, this was from the mouth of the Zheng family's son, which made Li Bodu feel trembling.
"All the yamen of this age should be fighting cocks and dogs, and they look arrogant." Li Bodu tried to focus his slightly drowsy eyes on the respectful and solemn young man in front of the case, and tried hard to look at the childish face: "At such age, such a background, he can still hold politeness like this. In the future, no matter whether he is a traitor or a loyal person, he will definitely be extremely powerful."
"Am I going to stay away from him and be right and wrong? Or should I start to accept him from now on?"
Zhao Fan, the commander of the Jinghu Controller, was fifty-one years old this year. For the senior officials, this was a time of prime time. His long-term experience and experience of being an official made him know how to command the military officials who commanded the troops so that they would not cause any trouble, and would not be able to cause any trouble because of their old eyes or long-term illness and bedridden.
This is the age to make achievements.
Zhao Fan would never be satisfied with the position of the commander of Jinghu, because no matter how outstanding he operates here, he cannot be compared with his father, who is both military and political. If you want to surpass his father, you can only make a difference outside Jinghu.
In the first year of Duanping, it was an excellent opportunity for Zhao Fan to establish his status as a famous minister in one fell swoop. He went to the army to recover his ancestral tombs. Even Yue Fei had never achieved such a achievement. If he could succeed, it would be the greatest achievement since the Southern Transportation.
However, the Enluo ended in such a way that it was so shameful that it was a big blow to the prestige of the Zhao brothers who were responsible for the country's territory and Zheng Shumi, the court, were both greatly affected.
But Zhao Fan believes that this is definitely not the end. He also has the strong and brave warriors brought back from the north, the wealthy rear of Jinghu that can provide food and grass, and a front base like Xiangyang that can move forward and retreat freely.
"There must be a chance to take the Central Plains again!" The letter to Zhao Kui was filled with the confidence of the general minister of Jinghu.
Because of this, no matter how we have to build up generals from the north, their troops are not only majestic, but also from the old places of Henan. To take the land of Henan, we must rely on such a team.
Zhao Kui would not easily reveal this thought to a young man under twenty years old, even if he was his son who was backing the court.
Although the child was young, he could stay in the hall for two hours to wait for the master to wake up. This courtesy was rare. However, the advice of the official Zheng of Xiao was quite free of room for advice.
"The northerners cannot be held back. Since they can betray the Jurchens and Mongolia, they can also betray us. How can they not guard against the disaster of Guo Yaoshi?" In fact, to be fair, Zheng Yunming's statement cannot be considered as tenable in history. There are indeed many examples of rebellion between the exiled troops in the north, but there are also many regular Song troops formed by the southerners. Moreover, the country had great suspicion about these rioters who started their own bandits, which also enhanced the rebellious spirit of the northern army and horses.
However, Zheng Yunming, who was determined to escape the sky in the rolling wheel of history, was full of thoughts of eliminating the unstable factors in Xiangyang City.
"This is a national event. The officials have just arrived in Xiangyang Prefecture. Don't mention these things again. Although Xiangyang is not as prosperous as Lin'an, it is also a flood and drought pier. If there is any inconvenience in the life of officials, just talk. Since Zhao agreed to Zheng, he will definitely make the officials live a happy life. If there is anything, he will say it to my shogunate and follow his orders."
Zhao Fan said and made a gesture, and two shogunate officials came over to ask Zheng Yunming to talk to each other in the same hall.
Seeing Zhao Fan planning a big plan in front of the map, Zheng Yunming knew that the commander at this time would not listen to any outsiders' words.
