Taining Army, Yanzhou.

"Damn it, why did the Southern Thieves appear in Pinglu Army?"

Bai Chongzang was old and heard the situation in Laizhou and said angrily: "What are the officials in these places doing for food? They cause me such a big trouble."

For Bai Chongzan, Yanzhou has only 18,000 people and some cavalrymen are useless in this Qingxu land, let alone fighting against the tens of thousands of Tang soldiers.

Although he looked down on the Southern Bing, the gap of several times is a matter of time and it is definitely not to be underestimated. This is a huge trouble.

"Huifu, this is all the fault of the Zhao official family." The staff on the side also looked nervous and said in a deep voice: "Pinglu Army, guarding Deng, Lai, Qing, Zibo and other prefectures were originally important towns in the world. Now, for several years, the officials of the town government have been abolished and the magistrates and magistrates, and the magistrates, who look like they are deprived of the vassals, which has caused such loopholes."

"This mistake was all brewed by the Zhao Guanjia."

"What you said is reasonable..."

Bai Chongzan squinted his eyes and agreed very much. He said arrogantly: "The Zhao Guan family is still too young and does not know that Emperor Shizong is not easy to conquer the world. He thought that a clumsy imitation of Taizu can firmly sit in the world?"

"Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, which court has not relied on our vassal states to guard the place. Without our military men to conquer the world, the Central Plains have long been in chaos."

The other staff rolled their eyes in their hearts. Without warriors, the world would have been stable long ago.

However, their butt determines their heads, and they also agreed and ignored the rebellious words of the Jiedushi.

Instead, he was thinking about how to transfer his family to Xiao. No matter how powerful Bai Chongzan was, he had few soldiers and generals, and he was even older, so he would definitely not be able to match the 100,000 troops of Denglai.

Besides, when I heard the complaints from the Jiedushi, everyone was smart? How could I know that they were swaying left and right? I was restless and complained about the court at this critical moment? The meaning is profound!

That's right? Li Wei raised a banner in Laizhou and promoted it? The so-called suppression of Song and Zhou caused huge waves in the entire Qingxu area.

The Taining Army is an important place? Bai Chongzan is also an old minister of the Later Zhou Dynasty. He is more dissatisfied with the reduction of power in his hands over the years, accompanied by the elegance of time.

Especially? He is a vassal state with old experience? He regards himself as extraordinary and is quite dissatisfied with the descendants of the imperial guards like Zhao Kuangyin.

In fact, it is nothing to usurp the Later Zhou Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty's imperial guards came from the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Later Jin Dynasty? It is a lineage, and it is not the turn of Zhao Kuangyin, a young man.

As a Shatuo native, he had long regarded himself as a Han person? He was not very distinctive about the ethnic group and was derived from the imperial guards of the Hedong Military Group. He had a strong influence.

The stubborn personality? The unyielding vassal states? The continuous devaluation of power in Tokyo made Bai Chongzan extremely dissatisfied.

After venting his temper, Bai Chongzan was not unreasonable, but instead used this to vent his dissatisfaction with the court and thus win respect. He, an old warlord, had some tricks about this.

"Huifu, someone in Laizhou asked for a meeting-" At this time, a close associate spoke softly.

"Laizhou, Tangren?" Bai Chongzan was shocked. I was just using excuses to vent my favors. He actually attracted Tangren?

"Let him come in!" Bai Chongzan's mouth was bitter, but his face was not revealed, but instead he was as arrogant as ever.

Soon, a young man in his twenties came over, polite and courteous. Bai Chongzan couldn't help but nodded and said rudely: "What are you Tang people who have anything to say? Let's go on the battlefield--"

"Jiangdu, this trip is just a letter!"

The young man said with a smile and presented a letter.

Bai Chongzan took the letter and looked at the signature on it, and was shocked: Guo Zongxun, Xingzhou

When he saw these words, he was not feeling well.

Guo Wei is from Xingzhou, so the Guo family’s hometown is in Xingzhou. Guo Zongxun’s name is even more famous. Who doesn’t know that this is the last emperor of Zhou?

"This, this..." Bai Chongzan's face was solemn, and he took it apart and read it carefully.

In the letter, Guo Zhongxun clearly stated that he was about to be assassinated by Zhao Kuangyin in Fangzhou, but fortunately he was rescued by Tang State. Now he is safe and well-deserved and has been granted the title of king and has a good life.

Then, he changed his voice and talked about Bai Chongzan's outstanding achievements over the years, even brought out Guo Rong and Guo Wei's daily words to praise him, and finally talked about his disgust towards Zhao Song, exposing the corners of his thief's mouth. The meaning of it is self-evident.

"We can't read—" Just as the young man looked at Bai Chongzan, whose face suddenly changed, and was about to persuade him, Bai Chongzan shook his head and said with a confused look on his face: "We are a rough man, but we know this letter. Let the staff read it in a few days, you go back..."

The young man was shocked. Sure enough, there were not many idiots these days. Thinking of this, he quickly spoke:

"In March of the third year of Jianlong, the right to review the death penalty was ordered to be taken to the Ministry of Justice of the Court, and local governments were not allowed to make a decision.

"In December of the third year of Jianlong, each county was ordered to set up "county lieutenants" to be responsible for local public security. The governor was not allowed to send town generals to intervene..."

"In March of the first year of Gande, the imperial court began to select officials to the prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Jiedushi."

"In June of the first year of Gande, the imperial court began to select Beijing officials to be magistrates in the county under the jurisdiction of the Jiedushi."

"In the second year of Gande, the financial resources of each state were sent to the capital, except for the necessary funds. The state began to implement state-owned specialization for important materials such as tea and wine, and local governments were not allowed to operate independently to seek profit..."

Every time he said something, Bai Chongzan's face became solemn. When he finally selected elite soldiers and sent a transshipment commander to control his wealth, Bai Chongzan's face was as if he was a shady pot.

Seeing this, the young man took advantage of the heat to strike and said, "The entire Taining Army is like prey in a hunting net. The more you struggle, the tighter the net. In the end, your life will be easily taken away, which is easier than taking a baby..."

"Get out--" Bai Chongzan sighed heavily, his eyes as if he was so sharp: "Do you think I don't know what you Tangren are thinking? I'm afraid you are not as good as Song State in the end!"

"Hmph..." The young man sneered and left straight away.

Logically speaking, there are very few vassal states on the Shandong Peninsula, three vassal states, and the other two have no military governors to take office. Only Wuning Army has been stagnant because Bai Chongzan was really difficult to arrange.

Other prefectures and counties have long been sent by the central government to literati magistrates, and they have been completely penetrated.

However, the Qilu area is different from other places. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, the Pinglu army, which had been unruly, turned into a rare loyal minister in the Tang Dynasty, and was eventually attacked and exterminated.

This area is originally a place of loyalty and filial piety and a place of forbearance and righteousness, especially the existence of the Confucius Family in Qufu, which has made this area maintain a strong Confucian atmosphere.
