Chapter Fifteen: Xiliu Camp
This is because Li Ye was deeply influenced by TV dramas of later generations. When it comes to eunuchs and eunuchs, he always looks stern and hides in the shadows to play tricks.
The Tang Dynasty was awesome, so the eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty were also awesome.
For example, Yang Sixu, a close comrade-in-arms of Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, was an eunuch who did not do his job properly and did not think about how to harm Zhongliang and harm the world. Instead, he helped the Tang Dynasty in the southern and northern wars, helped Li Longji ascend to power, killed the Empress Wei Group, pacified Annan, and suppressed the rebellions in various places in Lingnan.
.
Yang Fuguang, Yang Fugong's brother who was killed by Zhaozong, was also a eunuch. Wang Jian and Han Jian were both his subordinates. It was he who basically put down the Huangchao Rebellion.
It cannot be ruled out that most people in this group are physically disabled and mentally ill, but there are always one or two good seedlings.
Zhang Chengye is a good seedling among good seedlings.
Han Quanjie was also a very ambitious eunuch, with two hobbies in his life, power and money. But at this time, the Tang Dynasty was left with a bare city of Chang'an, where he could neither sell his official position to win titles nor levy excessive taxes. Prime Minister Han could only go around begging like a beggar.
.
It is not easy for him to keep the imperial court running.
At least Li Ye could pick out three melons and two dates from the bowl he was begging for.
Li Ye felt that he was a little unreasonable, so he felt guilty when facing Han Quanjie.
"Well, Prime Minister Han, please allocate some food for the two thousand refugees who have been recruited recently. They are all people of the Tang Dynasty. I can't just watch them suffer from cold and hunger." I still have to say what needs to be said, otherwise things will not work.
There is nothing we can do.
The imperial treasury had already been deprived of its territory by the rebels when Chang'an fell.
The key point is that Chang'an fell more than once, and everything that could be defeated was defeated.
Han Quanhui's face was filled with resentment: "Everyone, the imperial court has long been unable to make ends meet."
Li Ye thought that King Jian of Shu had sent some offerings a while ago, so they wouldn't have disappeared so quickly. Unable to withstand Li Ye's persuasion, Han Quanhui still agreed to give out two hundred shi of grain.
Li Ye couldn't figure out how much two hundred shi was. When the food arrived at Xiuzhenfang, he realized that it was about 20,000 jin. One person could only handle ten jins. How many days could he take care of it?
Fortunately, most of them are women and children. If they save some porridge and drink, they can last for a while.
But it’s not a problem for two thousand mouths to just sit there and eat nothing.
Moreover, more and more refugees will be recruited. It was Zhao Chongning who came up with a reliable idea to colonize the area.
After years of wars, the original order in Guanzhong has been destroyed. Refugees are everywhere, the fields are deserted, and most of the landlords, dignitaries and nobles have been killed by Huang Chao's army and the rebels from various places.
The land suddenly became vacant.
Li Yehuai's brain suddenly started to work, and he promoted Zhao Chongning to the position of left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs to clean up the land around Chang'an.
Han Quanjie reluctantly agreed to this appointment. Although Zhao Chongning was a scholar, his reputation in the court was not prominent, and he was not attached to the Qingliu Party of the wealthy families, so there was no need for Han Quanjie to target him.
Land has been the most important resource since ancient times.
Chang'an was the area hardest hit by military disasters. There were wars every day. Several surrounding vassal towns led their troops to Chang'an for a tour to show off their muscles to the court.
Therefore, the dignitaries in Chang'an City have little interest in the nearby land.
But Li Ye is different. He doesn't choose food when he is hungry. All the unclaimed land that Han Xie has checked out will be taken into the imperial village by Li Ye. If Han Xie's strategy can be realized, there will be at least one or two years of peace around Chang'an. With this
In a year or two, Li Ye will be confident that Chang'an will stand firm in the storm!
Looking at the map near Chang'an on the table, Li Ye finally chose a higher-lying area northwest of Chang'an City and north of the Weishui River.
This area was called Xiliuying in the Han Dynasty!
In such a meaningful place, Li Ye simply moved the young men there. After all, there were bandits and horse bandits around Xiliu Camp.
It was just in time for military training. The young men on the war horses were in high spirits, but they were very disciplined. One team was in front, one team was behind, and two teams spread out to act as scouts, and the remaining five teams were protecting Li Ye.
Since he sneaked out to explore the terrain, Li Ye didn't make a big show of it. Looking from a distance, he looked like Prince Wang and Sun Gong were out hunting.
"Your Majesty still has twenty miles to reach Xiliu Camp." Zhou Yunyi personally acted as a scout and reported.
Among the bastards, the one Li Ye cares about the most and has high hopes for is Zhou Yunyi, who looks old at the age of three, not to mention a 16-year-old boy. He is extremely serious in his work and has a calm personality. In a short period of time, he has number 25 under his command.
He was obedient and obedient, and the other eight chiefs were in awe of him.
From the perspective of people after Li Ye, it can be seen that he is a talented general.
As for Xin Silang, he has a very similar personality to Zhao Chongning. He talks very little. After so many days of meat, his body has plumped up and his muscles have become stronger. Li Ye, who has already exceeded 1.78 meters in height, is considered outstanding among the bastards.
Yes, his method of educating his subordinates is very simple, beat them if they don't obey, and beat them until they obey. The only thing that makes Li Ye uncertain is Zhang Xingjin, his temper is too out-of-the-box, he is very smart, and he has an excellent relationship with his subordinates.
As for the other six, Li Ye can't see anything yet.
"Speed up the march." Li Ye ordered.
Horses galloping on the grass.
If it weren't for the dead bones showing up among the weeds from time to time, Li Ye would really enjoy this kind of outing.
If you look carefully, you can see that there are more corpses hidden among the grass. There are also some wild wolves and wild dogs gnawing at them. They are not afraid of people when they see them. Instead, they bare their teeth at them viciously.
How could Li Ye feel relieved in this situation?
When he thought that the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty lasted for nearly sixty years, Li Ye couldn't feel relaxed.
How many civilians had their homes destroyed?
As glorious as the Tang Dynasty once was, when it collapsed, how miserable the people were.
Xiliu Camp is located on a slope, and there is a broken monument on it. The writing has been corroded by eight hundred years of wind and rain, and the words "General Zhou Yafu" can be faintly seen on it.
When Li Ye saw this stone tablet, he felt something in his heart and sighed: "The Han Dynasty has Zhou Yafu, where is my Zhou Yafu?"
He could not help but say this because he was feeling it at the moment. Unexpectedly, the nine chief ministers around him all knelt down and said, "We are your Majesty's Zhou Yafu!"
The voices of the nine people were so loud that everyone heard them.
Everyone was half-kneeling on the ground. They didn't say anything, but their eyes were already very determined. Li Ye secretly sighed that so many days of ideological education were finally not in vain.
Once a belief is formed, it is a powerful force.
The majestic wind from the Loess Plateau is roaring.
Li Ye wanted to say something, but he always felt that his words were weak, so he read a poem loudly: Why don't the man take Wu Gou and collect the fifty states in Guanshan?
Emotions are contagious.
More than two hundred people followed and shouted: Why don't you take Wu Gou and capture Guanshan Fifty States!
The young men vented their anger through this poem and became so impassioned that they alarmed the crows and wild wolves in the grass.
This place is less than fifty miles away from Chang'an, and the refugees cannot arrive there until dusk.
Li Ye ran away secretly and could not stay for a long time, so he entrusted Zhou Yunyi with the resettlement matter.
At the age of sixteen, he was still a sophomore in high school in later generations, and he had a heavy responsibility. On the one hand, he was tested by Li Ye, and on the other hand, there was only one Zhao Chongning around him, and others could not trust him.
"This is our first step, leave it to you." Li Ye looked at Zhou Yunyi's slightly green face and said.
Zhou Yunyi replied: "Your Majesty, please be at ease."
Some words don’t need to be said more, as the meaning will change if you say them too much.
Li Ye nodded and handed over the matter of recruiting refugees to Zhang Xingjin, and asked other chiefs to assist them.
As for the surrounding bandits, Li Ye didn't want to touch them yet. Chang'an was Li Ye's base, with many undercover agents, and the situation was changing rapidly. After explaining everything, Li Ye asked Xin Silang's team to escort him back.
He buried the seeds in the soil with his own hands. As for what they will grow into, it depends on the individual's destiny.
When we saw Chang'an City, it was dark.
Li Ye specially entered the city through the Jinguang Gate of Xicheng.
Chang'an 108 Square, everything you see along the way is dark, with collapsed houses everywhere, far from the bustling night market that was exaggerated by later generations.
Only Pingkangfang in Dongshi was dimly lit, but along with the lights were the sounds of orioles and swallows.
It turned out to be a brothel. In such troubled times, the brothel's life was not easy.
Li Ye has no interest in visiting brothels. In his understanding, brothel girls are also miserable people.
Returning to the Tai Chi Palace in the palace, Xiao Huangmen Liu Quanli came to welcome him. He was very happy to see the emperor and said, "Your Majesty is back."
