Chapter fifty-eight
Zhao Hao did not refuse power. His quality was not that noble, but he didn't care about the position of the head of the government. What he cared about was that this position could allow himself to quickly integrate into the Western Army of Beijing.
Once a circle is formed, the people in the circle will intentionally or unintentionally exclude outsiders. Zhao Hao knows that he is still an outsider to the Western Army of Beijing.
The most core person in the circle of the Western Army in Beijing is naturally the old subordinates of Jiaziying. A veteran of Jiaziying can be called brothers and brothers to officials at the level of the Super League, and the Super League will never feel that he has been neglected.
The only reason why the old subordinates of Jiaziying had not yet become sixth-rank officials like the governor was that they themselves were unwilling to be officials.
If they want, they are sufficient to be competent for this position with their military achievements.
Zhao Hao wanted to join this circle and wanted to join very much, because once he joined, he believed that his value in the eyes of the emperor would greatly increase. How could Zhao Hao, who had learned power and tricks since childhood, not understand what the Jingxi Army meant to the Song Empire.
The handling office's files made Zhao Hao dizzy. The handling of all cases in these files was obviously biased towards the horse farm. No matter what disputes occurred between the horse farm and the farm, the correct one would always be the horse farm. Even if the horse horses on the horse farm ate the farm's seedlings, the right one was still the horse farm. The verdict was clearly written, and the farm should not be opened next to the ranch... This is naked favoritism.
After reading the old files, Zhao Hao certainly knew how to deal with the murder case he discovered. The ranch was always insufficient, and the fat merchant standing at the door holding his hands in his sleeves had already come to get people with a smile...
After handling the political affairs, Zhao Hao remembered to take a sip of tea. Zhao Ting and Peng Jiu had already returned with a lewd smile. Peng Jiu casually picked up Zhao Hao's verdict and asked Zhao Ting to read it to himself. Then he laughed and said, "The handling is much better than me. I have never thought about finding an excuse. You can think that it is really better. Last time, a Tongzong magistrate under Zhang Fangping's command even replied that my verdict was nonsense. I won't say it again this time, right? You will do this in the future."
Zhao Hao nodded and took the initiative to take the job. Peng Jiu is not a useless old man. His royal family is more convenient and effective than him, a person in the western army.
Zhao Ting rubbed his hands and smiled, "General, Cao Rong's head is gone, why did he march into Jianchang Mansion? I thought there would be no chance to be good in this matter."
Peng Jiu leaned his body on the chair and smiled, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Ting leaned closer to Peng Jiu and said, "Look, Cao Rong was killed. Everyone knows that this guy will die, and deserves to die, but no matter what he did in Jianchang Mansion, the only one who killed him was the only one who should not be a bandit!"
Zhao Hao said lightly: "We must first find out the evidence that the Dali army pretended to be a robber, so that we can provoke a criminal offense."
Peng Jiu patted Zhao Hao on the shoulder and said, "Boy, I will teach you another lesson. The Beijing West Army never needs any evidence in doing things. We also want to attack Dali, so we will attack. After fighting, we will slowly find evidence. I believe that at that time, it is probably not difficult for you to find evidence that the Emperor Dali personally led his troops to kill Cao Rong.
The Grand Marshal said a long time ago that combat is our business. Making excuses is the business of Honglu Temple, one of the nine temples."
Zhao Tinggu smiled and said, "We are just killing and burying?"
Peng Jiu said to Zhao Ting seriously: "Boy, please stand up for me. We can be crazy, but you must be careful when fighting.
The reason why I can still survive after many battles is because of the word "care". In the future, you will see other veterans wearing two layers of breastplate but removing the armor on their legs. If you want to live longer, it is best to learn. No one who can survive from the battlefield is simple.
Do you really think that the Tubo people who are guarding the grasslands in western Yunnan dare not come down? Tell you, we are not that powerful yet. The reason why they cannot come down is because our caravans extend the object of the transaction forward. The Tubo people on the plateau can obtain the things produced by our Song Dynasty without fighting. Besides, the wars on the plateau are endless, and no tribe is willing to risk the risk of consuming their own strength to fight on the plateau. This is the main reason."
Zhao Hao poured a cup of tea for Peng Jiu: "General, is it that the general wants to repeat the old story in western Yunnan on the plateau? Is this the famous re-use of the old trick?"
Peng Jiu enjoyed Zhao Hao's attitude of studying very much. He held a teacup and took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This is the cleverness of the general. The most important reason why the Western Army in Beijing won every battle is that it is not sure of fighting. Every time we go on a battle, we know that as long as we add another force, we can achieve the final victory, so everyone is willing to take a risk for success.
Zhao Hao, since you like to think more, just think more carefully and understand that the Tubo people on the plateau clearly know that the loss of the grassland in western Yunnan started with merchants. Why did they not stop merchants from entering the plateau, but instead rush to trade with merchants in the Song Dynasty."
After Peng Jiu finished speaking, he patted Zhao Hao on the shoulder, stood up and went back to sleep.
Zhao Ting also opened his mouth wide and yawned. He shook his hand at Zhao Hao who was thinking and left straight. He was so tired today.
The butter candles in the lobby of the dealer's office lit up all night...
It was dawn that Zhao Hao gave up the practice of bringing himself into the Tubo-headed people and dealing with merchants. Last night, as a Tubo-headed person, he thought of countless ways, but still did not come up with a way to break the situation. Unless the Tubo people on the plateau were a unified country and everyone worked together to boycott the Song Dynasty merchants, a single tribe would resist the merchants, and that was seeking death.
Zhao Hao thought about it and wanted all the Tubo people who had attacked each other for hundreds of years to unite, even the gods they believed in could not do it...
With the help of merchants from the Song Dynasty, tribes will gradually become stronger, they will have better weapons, more adequate food and fodder, and wounded soldiers will be better taken care of...
If a single tribe is funded like this, the tribe will have a greater chance of unifying the plateau. Unfortunately, this gradually becoming stronger will be immediately besieged by other relatively weak tribes, and the merchants of the Song Dynasty will never only fund one tribe!
With better weapons and more abundant food and fodder, more brave warriors will be more dead Tubo people... This is almost an ununsolved shackle.
Zhao Hao didn't know where the Grandmaster wanted to extend his devil claws. He only knew that as long as the Tubo people did not give up their hatred, the Grandmaster's devil claws would continue to extend to the snow-capped mountains.
When he thought that the general was farming in Dousha Village, the hairs on his back stood up. The general, who seemed to be working on farming acres, never stopped his attack, but this time he used the troops that seemed to be greedy merchants.
Yun Zheng put a white chess piece on the map of the Tubo Plateau and said to Zhang Fangping, who was closing his eyes and resting, "As long as you don't disrupt the pace of the merchants, you will soon have a new territory. Personal interests are the source of chaos, so I never allow myself to attack each other, because this kind of damage is double to our race!"
Zhang Fangping opened his eyes and smiled, "So you would rather go abroad than cause trouble in China? Your love for our race is deeper than me and more lasting than me. You will become a saint of this race. I believe that sooner or later there will be such a day.
It turns out that a general who carries the name of a butcher is the one who loves this land the most."
Yun Zheng said lightly: "I am not as clever and noble as you said. I am just doing things with the mind of a small businessman. I would rather rot in the pot than others get the benefits."
Zhang Fangping nodded and said, "The best principles are actually written in the most ordinary words. Since you have this kind of mind, then do you still plan to go to Dali? Cao Rong's piece of meat was grabbed away by someone else, don't you plan to take it back?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and took a long imperial edict from the desk and handed it to Zhang Fangping, saying, "The order for the 800 miles to be urgently sent to the capital was written by Zou Tong. Pang Ji and Han Qi have already endorsed it. The emperor classified Cao Rong's affairs as royal family affairs and was preparing to send the royal family members to deal with it. He strictly ordered me not to act rashly or even provide open and secret support."
After reading the imperial edict, Zhang Fangping frowned and said, "Who will come? Since we come to deal with the royal affairs, it is probably unreasonable if we don't come. King Wen Zhao Fu died early, Prince Zhao You died early, Prince Chang Zhao only died early, King Qin Zhao Qi died early, and now only one sick King Xin left. The government will not bring the King Xin, who is full of bone diseases, right?"
Yun Zheng took out another private message and said to Zhang Fangping: "That's right, the one who came is King Xin. Zhao Yan and Zhao Yannian are deputy generals. As long as the persons asked for by King Xin, I will not refuse. The important thing is that all the Zhao clan members who are participating in the training must go into battle. King Xin can call at most 600 people from my command, somehow!"
Zhang Fangping sighed: "Your Majesty must be in great pain. He wants to see the results as soon as possible. These royal children have only received less than nine months of training. How can they go to the battlefield?"
"In the past, His Majesty once told me a way to choose generals, that is, to raise Gu and select generals. At that time, I thought that His Majesty was convinced by me, but he never gave up on this idea in his heart, but this time he treated the Dali people as a whetstone."
Yun Zheng sighed and left the private message in his hand. The emperor used the edict to determine his approximate military intentions, and then used the private message to explain his true thoughts reasonably. This is already a very shameful matter, and he is not good at not following it. (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
