Chapter 242: Skinning(1/2)

Of course, Zhang Wen knew that it would not be so easy, so he chose a host for each county, and they were all big shots in the government.

Among them, the person he appointed as the host of Yingchuan was Yingyin Xun Shuang. He was the sixth of the eight dragons of the Xun family. He was proficient in Yili and the most unparalleled. Now Xun Shuang is idle at home due to the misfortune of the party. Zhang Wen wants to

As the training envoy of the Yingchuan regiment, although Xun Shuang only served as Yilang, he had a high reputation and wide connections, so he was qualified to be the host of a county.

Then there is Runan. No matter what, the host position must belong to the Yuan family of Runan. Now among the older generation of the Yuan family, there are four people in the main line: Yuan Ping, Yuan Cheng, Yuan Feng, and Yuan Wei. The first three of them have already

Of the deceased, only Yuan Wei is now a Situ. There is another branch of the branch called Yuan He, who is also a moral man. Although he has also passed away, he has three sons, but they are all chosen at the moment. The eldest son Yuan Hong is a hermit, and the second one is a hermit.

His son Yuan Zhong is a righteous man, and his younger brother Yuan Hong is a wise man. In addition to these three people, there are six others of the same generation: Yuan Shao, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shu, Yuan Manlai, Yuan Yida, and Yuan Renda. From this we can also see that the Yuan family in Runan has a prosperous family.

The yield rate is very high.

Zhang Wen thought a lot about who to choose as the host. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu definitely couldn't be chosen. It's not that these two people are not smart, but that they are the backbone of the evil eunuch faction in Beijing and have been dancing very well.

Awesome. Zhang Wen and the eunuchs supported each other, and instinctively did not want people like Yuan Shao to come forward. Among them, his favorites were Yuan Hong, Yuan Zhong and Yuan Ji. The first two did have a good reputation, but both of them were

He was a victim of the party's scourge, and his political leanings were obviously close to the degenerate faction, so he had no choice but to choose Yuan Ji.

This is good, as a descendant of Yuan Ji's family has a good reputation, and he deserves to be the host of Runan.

After selecting the most important places, Yingchuan and Runan, the rest will be much easier to handle.

There were not many clans of ministers in the Liang Kingdom, most of them were Confucian scholars, and there were not many tribesmen, so Zhang Wen quickly selected Suiyang Qiaohao as the host of the Liang Kingdom. The Suiyangqiao family became famous since Qiaoxuan.

After becoming a Taiwei, his family status also jumped from the family of two thousand stones to the family of the public. Qiao Xuan's son Qiao Yu is now serving as the prefect of Rencheng State in Yanzhou, and this Qiao Mao is the nephew of the old Taiwei Qiao Xuan. Naturally,

He is the perfect choice to host this place.

After that came Pei State. The public families in Pei State included the Cao family and the Ding family in Qiao County; the Liu family in Xiao County, whose family had two generations and three sons; among these three, due to personal relationships, Zhang Wen left the hosting position to Qiao County.

County Cao family. Zhang Wen doesn't care about melon fields and plum blossoms. For him, selecting talents means he doesn't have to avoid relatives. The people he is most familiar with must be the people he knows, and he has many talents and learnings, so he can naturally use them with confidence. The Cao family is the most popular among this generation.

The outstanding one is Cao Cao, but now he is in his shogunate. In addition, there are Cao Hong and Cao Ren. Among them, Cao Hong has the best family background. His father is General Wei and his uncle is Shangshu Ling. However, Cao Ren's family background is not bad either. His father is Changshui School.

Lieutenant.

After discussing with Cao Cao, Zhang Wen chose Cao Hong as the host of Pei State and asked Cao Ren to assist. Zhang Wen had already learned that Cao Ren was rampant in the Huaisi area and had thousands of people, who could be the backbone of the group training.

Then came the State of Chen. The State of Chen was a little special, that is, this generation of Chen King Liu Chong was a little restless. The princes gathered armor and soldiers, which was a bit like the brother of Emperor Guangwu, King Qi Wu. In order to check and balance him, Zhang Wen chose the Yuan family of Chen County.

Yuan Huan is the host. The Yuan family of Chen County and the Yuan family of Runan are both from the same ancestor. Even now, the two families are inextricably linked and form the same family.

As for Yuan Huan, he is the son of Lao Situ. He used to serve as a visitor to oversee Fufeng Camp and Huya Camp, but things were not handled well and he was deported and returned to his hometown. Zhang Wen used him this time because he was selling personal favors.

In the family of the clan, you help me and I help you, and this is how the ties arise. However, Yuan Huan is not just using him blindly. After all, he has experience in confronting the Taishan Army.

The last one is the State of Lu, which is also the most pity. Originally, the most suitable host for the State of Lu was Kong Rong, but he had already died in a battle with the Taishan bandits. Even because of that battle, the clothes of the State of Lu

Almost all of them were swept away. Fan Xiang, an old party member, also died at that station. What a pity!

In the end, Zhang Wen selected from thousands of people and found only one person, Yan Sheng of the Yan family of the Lu State. But although he was from the Lu State, he was said to have moved to Langya. Now it seems that he can only call him back to his hometown to organize the Lu State League.

Zhang Wen is still satisfied with the above candidates. These six team training hosts are either celebrities or members of the public family, or they are from moral families. This ensures to a certain extent that the team training of the six counties in Yuzhou can be controlled.

Zhang Wen still fully delegated power to these six regiment envoys. He specifically allowed these six regiment envoy directors to be free from the constraints of the Three Mutual Laws during the selection process, and to freely select talented people from their hometowns and in-laws' families to serve as officers.

Team training.

Moreover, the job of these six regiment envoys is to supervise the regiment affairs rather than co-organize local affairs. In other words, these six regiment envoys have very great autonomy and do not need to rely on the local government to act. They are only under the supervision of General Zuo Zhonglang.

Other local counties have no right to interfere with the supervision of these six regiment training envoys.

The above is Zhang Wen's greatest support to the six major regiment commanders within his own capabilities, but there is one thing that each regiment commander has to solve, that is, the regiment commanders in each county must be responsible for their own money and food supplies. The court has no choice.

Responsible for their money and food supply.

In other words, these six major regiments need to provide their own military supplies after forming the regiment. Therefore, to a certain extent, these six families must first use their own funds to support the army.

This must be a huge burden for the six major regiment training envoys, but if blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, if you use your own money to raise soldiers, then in the end these regiment training envoys will inevitably become the private soldiers of these six people.

Zhang Wen naturally knows this, but the above is already his greatest support. If he wants to raise these soldiers again, the court really cannot afford it.

In this way, Zhang Wen dropped the bombshell news at the military meeting that the six counties of Yuzhou would start regiment training, and then ordered all the military generals to go back and reorganize their troops. Three days later, they would march south to Runan and attack Runan from both sides.

South Pacific Road.

Many generals digested the information after returning home. Over there, Zhang Wen left behind the Central Military Colonel Zhao Rong after the meeting.

Zhang Wen met Zhao Rong alone in the inner room and told him directly:

"Child Chang, you are a warrior from Xizhou. You are already sensitive, so you need to obey orders even more. Do you think Huangfu Song can still be your support?"

Zhao Rong immediately expressed his position:

"Zhao Rong is a rough man, and he only follows the leader's lead."

See Zhao Rong and find out what’s interesting, Zhang Wen:

"Okay, since you know, I will give you a clear path."

Zhao Rong respectfully said:

"Please give me your instructions, Commander-in-Chief."

"This time you go south, you must trap the officers of the other three battalions and let them know who the current commander is. This time we go south to fight the Runan Yellow Turbans, the battle will not be difficult. As long as this battle is fought well, not only the previous crimes will be

If you write it off, I will write to the court to ask for credit for you. Children will know what is right and what is wrong."

"The general will finally understand that he will live up to the training of the commander-in-chief."

"Well, I have already made it very clear at the military meeting about the importance of this battle. As a senior general in the army, you must see the overall situation. The Yellow Turbans in Runan are not a concern. What is important is the subsequent march north.

As long as the Taishan thieves are annihilated this time, I will give you whatever you want. But remember, you only have one chance, so you have to seize it."

"Here!"

-------------------

On August 20th, the Taishan Army captured Xinzheng. Zhang Chong led a large army into the city. After the whole army had a meal of pork, he left 500 soldiers to garrison and continued northward. The next place they wanted to attack was Mi County.

.

Mi County is located at the southern foot of Songshan Mountain and upstream of the Jishui River. It was originally a fiefdom of the Zhou royal family and nobles, but was later destroyed by the Zheng State and now belongs to Henan Province. Because the county belongs to the area where Songshan Mountain extends to the east, the terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with alternating hills and valleys in the middle, and the eastern part is relatively flat. The plains within the territory are mostly hills, and it is known as the saying that it is divided into two parts mountains, six parts hills, and two parts fields.

However, because Mi County is located in the capital region and has many wealthy families, the little land is concentrated in the hands of powerful people. Many poor households who cannot survive have no choice but to run into Songshan Mountain, open up mountains and fields, and become people without native place.

Shanliao people.

On August 22, a team of carriages and horses hurried along the official road from Mi County to Kyoto.

In the oxcart, a fat young man kept asking his companions how long it would take to get to the next station.

The companion knew that the original purpose of the master's urging was that he was worried that something might happen along the way.

The reason why they were worried was because their master had done all the bad things, and now he was worried that someone would come to take revenge. After telling his master that there were still ten miles left, and soothing his anxious mood, the companion looked at Songshan Mountain to the west and sighed.

This chariot and horse team is none other than Suo Qi, the current magistrate of Mi County, and his party.

Suo Qi came from the Soo family in Dunhuang. His family was demoted to Dunhuang during the Emperor Wu period because of his disobedience to Yan Zhijian. After that, he was a noble family in the Han Dynasty and became a first-class family in Dunhuang.

After Suo Qi was promoted as a filial and honest man, because of the imperial court's policy of favoring Hexi, he was specially appointed as the magistrate of Mi County in Henan County. However, since he became the magistrate of Mi County, Suo Qi used torture, organized unjust imprisonment, and fought with the county officials.

The big clans harmed the people together, took bribes and violated the law, and all the heads of Guizhou in the county hated them to the core.

A few days ago, when the Taishan bandits entered Henan County and destroyed Xinzheng in the north, Suo Qi became panicked when even the corpse of the Xinzheng leader was hung in public. You must know that the official reputation of the Xinzheng leader was much stronger than his own.

After all, there was no way he could escape death, let alone him.

Suo Qi, who had a clear understanding of himself, did not dare to take any chances anymore, abandoned his official post, and fled to Kyoto with his servants and the money he had robbed over the years.

He has made up his mind that as long as he uses half of his net worth to bribe the ten regular servants, he will be fine. Even if he returns to his hometown with only half of his net worth, it will be enough for a lifetime. Not to mention, this gorgeous Central Plains is better than Hexi

Be too rich.

After the convoy walked for a while, they encountered a temple in front of them. Suo Qi's wife kept complaining that she had abdominal pain and wanted to rest. So, Suo Qi had no choice but to rest here temporarily.

The concubines over there were serving the young wife safely, but Suo Qi and his companions looked at the temple in front of them and recited its name:

"Zhuomao Temple? Who is this?"

The companion was speechless for a while, as his master really didn't know a lot and didn't know anything about the affairs of the country.

"Master, this Zhuo Mao is an old master from the Guangwu period."

"Oh? I don't know him. What does this man say? Is there anyone who built an ancestral hall for him?"

Ban Dang has been with Suoqi in Mi County for several years, so he naturally knows why the people of Mi County built an ancestral hall for Zhuo Mao. But he didn't expect that his master didn't know anything about it. However, the master didn't even know who Zhuo Mao was.

Not to mention what he did.

Bandang was born into the Suo family, and he had to learn the allusions of the country and dynasty since he was a child, in order to assist the master of the Suo family in socializing. So at this moment, Bandang explained to Suo Qi:

"Master, Taifu Zhuo once served as the magistrate of Mi County during the Xinmang period. He taught the people with etiquette and governed Mi County in such a way that they did not pick up relics and did not close their homes at night. There was even a year when locusts plagued more than 20 counties in Henan.

, I did not enter Mi County. I was inspired by Zhuo Taifu's morality. So after the disaster that year, Mi County people built this shrine for Zhuo Taifu to express their gratitude for his merits in protecting the people. Later, during the Yanxi period,

Shangshi Huang, the Taoist priest, demolished many ancestral halls in the capital, but a special edict was issued to preserve the Zhuomao Temple in order to respect the morality of the old master who taught all people."

Ban Dang said that the original intention of these was to use the past to satirize the present. He hoped that the master could learn from Zhuo Taiwei, love the people like a son, and stop harming the poor poor people.

But who would have thought that when Suo Qi heard this, he immediately disdained:
