Chapter 15 Anyang Jun's Five Hundred Soldiers
The Zhao State Xiangbang official office is located in the northeast corner of Zhao State Palace City. Zhao He is very familiar with this place.
Although the title of King Zhao State above Zhao He is a decoration, it is not entirely a decoration.
The Lord's father Zhao Yong's boredom with government affairs is well known, and the reason why he passed the throne to Zhao He was also partially in this way.
After ascending the throne, Zhao He had at least twenty days a month to come to Xiangbang's official office, mainly to receive the teachings of Xiangbang Feiyi and learn how to deal with government affairs.
Zhao He soon met Fei Yi.
"I've seen the king." Fei Yi saluted Zhao He.
"Fat Master." Zhao He returned a bow.
The two of them sat down.
As the king, Zhao He's position is still above Feiyi.
Fei Yi looked at Zhao He and smiled and said, "The old minister just heard that the king was going to pay homage to the Queen Mother today. Why did he have time to come?"
Zhao He also smiled and said, "Anyway, I'm idle, so come and do my homework."
The so-called homework is to be familiar with government affairs under the leadership of Fei Yi.
Fei Yi said: "If there is no problem with the king, let's start now."
Zhao He nodded and suddenly said, "Fat Master, I want to see the memorials from Dai County today."
Fei Yi was slightly stunned and nodded to the Xiangbang official standing beside him.
Dai County is the fief of Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang.
A moment later, a large bundle of bamboo slips was placed in front of Zhao He, occupying a lot of Zhao He's large desk.
Fei Yi said: "The king only reviews it. If you have any questions, please consult the old minister."
Zhao He nodded.
Since he succeeded to the throne, Zhao He has been here for three years of learning and handling government affairs, so naturally he doesn't need Fei Yi to sit by his side to provide guidance. What's more, Fei Yi also has a lot of official duties to deal with, and there is no time.
Zhao He picked up the memorial and read it one by one.
In this era, various countries have different writings, but they are basically derived from the Great Seal Seal. Fortunately, they have integrated memories, so there is no obstacle to Zhao He reading them.
Many of the memorials of these local officials are in a relatively general direction, and the same is true for the memorials of Dai County.
The first letter said that floods occurred in the county, and hoped that some officials and craftsmen would be sent to manage them.
The second letter is that Anyang Horse Farm, among the five major horse farms in Dai County, has recently been robbed and more than 20 horses have been stolen. Now the local officials are cooperating with Anyang Jun Mansion to thoroughly investigate the matter.
The third letter was that the bandits in the county were severe. Not long ago, they attacked a county treasury and robbed a lot of money, grain and armor. I hope that Handan could issue an order to allow the county magistrate to recruit county troops to attack and suppress the bandits. Anyang Junfu was also willing to send out five hundred soldiers from the prefecture to cooperate.
...
Zhao He narrowed his eyes and suddenly felt something was wrong.
The next moment, Zhao He coughed and said, "Fat Master, look at this memorial."
Fei Yi, who was handling official business, raised his head, took the memorial, and frowned: "What happened to Tian Buli? The bandits are so rampant?"
Zhao He was amused and cried, and said, "No, you misunderstood by Fat Master. I mean... these soldiers from Anyang Jun's mansion!"
Fei Yi was a little confused: "What's wrong with these soldiers? The king may not have noticed it. Before, Anyang Junfu often cooperated with local county soldiers to suppress bandits. On the one hand, it can play a role in training troops. On the other hand, the private soldiers of Anyang Junfu are very powerful in combat, which is also a great help in suppressing bandits."
Zhao He said seriously: "This memorial states that the number of bandits in the mountains that need to be wiped out is about six or seven hundred. If I remember correctly, the Anyang Jun mansion can only raise 500 soldiers? For less than a thousand bandits, is it really necessary to let the 500 soldiers of the Anyang Jun mansion come out in full swing on the premise of mobilizing 600 county soldiers?"
Fei Yi frowned and fell into deep thoughts.
The bandits these days are actually quite poor in strength. First, they are not equipped enough, second, they are insufficient food, and third, they are lack of training. They are not opponents of the county soldiers who are recruited to fight all year round, let alone elite soldiers from the Anyangjun mansion.
After thinking for a while, Fei Yi said: "Maybe he wants to win with one blow, so don't worry, the king."
Fei Yi actually didn't take this matter very seriously, just five hundred soldiers and private soldiers.
The last time Zhao State attacked Zhongshan, it used a total of 130,000 troops from five routes!
Zhao He glanced at Fei Yi and frowned and said, "Master Fat, you can't underestimate these 500 soldiers. These 500 people are well-equipped. If they are used on a critical occasion, it will be a great threat."
Fei Yi smiled, stopped talking, and lowered his head to continue to correct the memorial.
Seeing this, Zhao He suddenly felt a little urge to argue with others again.
Zhao State was very strict in the transfer of troops. More than fifty people must have the common seal of the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and more than two hundred troops must have the order from Handan.
As the eldest son of the master's father, Anyang Jun rarely had the power to raise private soldiers, but even so, his soldiers must comply with the laws of Zhao State, and whether they are mobilized or participated in the war, they need to obtain approval from Handan.
Zhao He felt that this seemingly strange memorial must have been caused by Anyang Jun, in order to obtain a transfer order.
"Mr. Anyang wants to draw his own private soldiers and soldiers to go south, probably for the sake of the Dune Palace! Unfortunately, Fei Yi can't listen to me."
This is also Zhao He's helplessness. Master Father and Fei Yi, two people with the greatest power in Zhao State, are willing to protect Zhao He, but they cannot obey Zhao He's opinions and deal with Anyang Jun Zhao Zhang.
Zhao He thought about it and picked up his pen and criticized the memorial.
“No.”
Mobilize troops? I think beautifully!
An hour passed quickly, and the following memorials were normal. After Zhao He finished handling these official duties, someone happened to summon orders.
"King, Fatty, please go to Xin Palace as soon as possible. The Lord's father has important matters to discuss!"
After a while, Zhao He and Fei Yi walked out of the official office together.
Zhao He looked at his carriage in front of him and suddenly smiled at Fei Yi and said, "Master, it's better to walk with me in the same carriage, how about it?"
Fei Yi was slightly stunned and subconsciously refused: "King, old minister..."
Fei Yi did not refuse successfully because Zhao He took his hand and got into the car together.
The carriage drove slowly.
Zhao He smiled and said to Fei Yi: "Master Fat, don't be polite, sit down."
Fei Yi sat down in front of Zhao He with a helpless look on his face and said, "Is there something that the king wants to tell the old minister?"
Zhao He slapped his thigh and smiled, "Faty looks really smart."
Fei Yi said: "If it were the affairs of those five hundred soldiers, then the king would just refute it. Even if there were no five hundred soldiers, it would be difficult for the soldiers of Dai County to encircle and suppress the bandits."
Zhao He smiled and said, "It's not for this matter, but for another matter."
Fei Yi was a little surprised and said, "Please tell me, lord."
Zhao He said: "Fat Xiang may not know that Zhao State will soon lose half of its territory."
Fei Yi was stunned at first, then laughed: "The king was joking. In today's Zhao State, who can take half of the territory from Zhao State unless the princes of the world arrive?"
Fei Yi was very confident when he said this.
After years of fighting, the Zhao Kingdom has long been different from the past. If you don’t say you are the boss in the Seven Warring States, the second one should still be a problem.
Who can take away half of the territory of Zhao like this?
Looking at Zhao He in front of him, Fei Yi felt a little moved.
The king seems to have changed a lot in recent days. He not only can he criticize the teacher, but also can brag and exaggerate.
Should I report to the master father?
Zhao He looked at Fei Yi who looked disapproving, and said slowly: "Hasn't Fei Xiang heard about it? The master's father is ready to restart the feudal system and divide Zhao into two, half of which are granted to me and the other half to Anyang Jun. From then on, there will be another Dai Kingdom in the world except Zhao."
