Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

It goes without saying that Ximen Qing is a romantic figure in the ancient classics of later generations.

Taiwei Tong Guantong was one of the famous "six thieves" in the Northern Song Dynasty. He took the blame for the emperor Zhao Ji and was designated as the sinner of the Northern Song Dynasty's demise. He also left his name through the ages.

Although Cheng Wanli and Murong Yanda's reputation is not as good as that of a child, they are also famous for future generations as corrupt and stupid officials.

Zhao Mingcheng has a good background, and also has a good wife who is famous through the ages.But he himself is a scumbag, and he left his wife Li Qingzhao to escape alone when the Jin army went south many times.

Moreover, when Zhao Mingcheng served as the prefect of Jiankang Prefecture, he also secretly contacted the secret envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, leaving behind the suspicion of collaborating with the enemy and rebelling as a traitor.

Later, in order to get rid of the suspicion on her husband, Li Qingzhao donated most of her family wealth to Zhao Gou's small court, and then the matter was settled.

Not to mention Qin Hui, who presided over the peace talks between the North and the South and preserved the regime of the Southern Song Dynasty, was discredited by later generations and portrayed as the number one traitor in history.

Thousands of years later, the iron statue of Qin Hui is still kneeling in front of the Yue Temple and eating spittle!

Ma Zhi was not as miserable as Qin Hui, but like Tong Guan, he became the scapegoat for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, bearing the reputation of a traitor to the Liao Kingdom and a traitor to the Song Dynasty.

These people are the historical villains above the imperial court in the capital, and outside Bianliang City in Tokyo, there are also powerful villains.

Du Chong, who stayed behind in Xijing, is historically an image of a traitor who surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin.More importantly, Nasi dug the embankment of the Yellow River in history, diverting the Yellow River to the Huaihe River Basin for hundreds of years, destroying the rich land of Huaihe River and Huaihe River.

Although the reputation in history is not as good as that of Qin Hui, but what Du Chong did is the real legacy.

It's just that, at that time, this guy dug the Yellow River to cover Zhao Gou's escape to the south, which was regarded as an act of loyalty to the emperor, but was lightly taken down by the literati in the history books.

Fortunately, this guy Du Chong met Ximen Qing, which changed his fate and prevented him from doing the evil thing of killing his son and grandson.

All in all, the group of ministers that Ximenqing is using now is really wonderful in its own way!

Looking at these colleagues of his, Ximen Qing secretly thought, hahaha~ I, Ximen Qing, a high official, is indeed as handsome as ever, with hidden attributes to attract villains!

This state of Chu is really full of "right" people!

Chapter 979 Ximenqing dispatches troops and generals

After Ximenqing arranged the important ministers in the court and controlled the government of Chu State in his hands, he began to further reorganize the army.

First of all, it is to arrange the troops that have withdrawn from Hebei and Hezhong to Chu State, and to deploy the generals.

Wei Dingguo, the general of Lingzhou and "Shenhuo General", was good at using firearms, and provided Ximenqing with a lot of materials when he developed a firearms workshop in Ximenqing.He was the general Ximen Qing had wanted to recruit for a long time.

Ximenqing directly transferred Wei Dingguo and his five hundred firearms soldiers to his Chinese army's firearms battalion, and asked him to exchange firearms experience with Ling Zhen and Tang Long, and learn firearms and artillery attack tactics.

Although the two brothers Ling Zhen and Tang Long also became commanders of the first army, Ximenqing still hopes that they will stay in the rear to be responsible for the development and production of firearms in the future.

Therefore, Ximenqing wanted to train Wei Dingguo to be the general of his firearms battalion, and follow him to fight in the north and south.

After Wei Dingguo was transferred to the Firearms Battalion, all Lingzhou's troops were handed over to "General Shengshui" Shan Yangui.

Ximenqing transferred the two generals "Big Sword" Guan Sheng and "Jingmuxuan" Hao Siwen from Shanzhou, and "Ugly County Horse" Xuanzan from Yingtianfu, Nanjing, and combined the three of them with Shan Yangui In one place, a new regiment was formed.

When Ximenqing was traveling in Guanzhong, he went to Xiezhou to visit Guan Sheng, but Guan Sheng went on a tour and failed to meet him.

However, Guan Sheng received Ximen Qing's sincerity.Guan Sheng also has a good impression of Ximen Qing who wrote "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Unfortunately, due to his busy schedule and the outbreak of war shortly thereafter, Guan Sheng was unable to visit Ximen Qing in Yanggu County, Shandong.

When we meet again this time, Ximen Qing has already jumped from a hero in the world to become a privy envoy in charge of the country's military affairs, and he is the pillar of the Chu Kingdom.

In the view of Guan Sheng, who is in charge of patrolling Pudong, Ximen Qing is not what it used to be, and is already unattainable.

Therefore, after Guan Sheng accompanied the army from Xiezhou to the territory of Shanzhou, he did not take the initiative to contact Ximen Qing.

Guan Sheng is an arrogant person, and he doesn't want to be seen as a flatterer.

However, the high-ranking Privy Envoy Ximenqing still remembered him and ordered him to be transferred to Beijing, which broke Guan Sheng's heart.

With no one to recommend him, Ximenqing not only transferred Guan Sheng to Bianliang City, Tokyo, but also promoted him to be the commander of soldiers and horses, making him the chief general of a new army.

Hao Siwen, Xuan Zan, and Shan Yangui became Guan Sheng's lieutenants.

Isn't there more than [-] troops waiting to be reorganized outside Bianliang City in Tokyo?Ximen Qing asked Guan Sheng to select [-] brave and healthy people, practice day and night, and prepare to go to Yan'an Mansion.

Guan Sheng was originally a person who valued loyalty, and he remembered Ximen Qing's kindness in his heart, and swore allegiance to Ximen Qing.

In order to go to Shaanxi, Ximenqing asked Luan Tingyu, who was the deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Gyeonggi, Jingdong, and Beijingxi, to return to Nanjing Yingtianfu on Jingdong Road to guard his Shandong base camp, and assigned the troops of Wang Jun and Zhang Jun to Luan Tingyu. command.

In addition, Qingzhou's "Thunderbolt" Qin Ming, and Xuzhou's "Zhen Sanshan" Huang Xin and other generals were also under the control of Luan Tingyu.

After arranging for Luan Tingyu to guard the base camp, Ximenqing transferred Wang Jin from Yanggu County to Bianliang City, Tokyo. Wang Jin's generals.

"Nine-grained Dragon" Shi Jin, "Shenji Military Master" Zhu Wu, "Jumping Tiger" Chen Da, and "White Flower Snake" Yang Chun were also transferred to Wang Jin's command and became Wang Jin's generals.

Wang Jin received [-] Yanzhou soldiers and horses trained by the four of Shi Jin, and selected [-] athletes from the captives outside Bianliang City in Tokyo to form an army of [-], and set off directly to Jingzhao Mansion.

When they arrived at Jingzhao Mansion, the local Western Army would also be placed under the command of Wang Jin.Ximenqing asked Wang Jin to train and prepare for war in Jingzhao Mansion, waiting for his instructions.

Wang Jin is a veteran of the Western Xia Army. He has fought with the Western Xia Army for many years. He is very familiar with the situation on the Xixia border and has many friendships with the generals of the Western Xia Army.

Therefore, Wang Jin is the most suitable general to integrate the Western Army. Ximenqing sent Wang Jin to lead the troops into Shaanxi first.

Lu Zhishen is also from Kansai, and he can be regarded as a veteran general of the Western Army. However, compared with Wang Jin, who is delicate and thoughtful, Lu Zhishen is still much bolder.

Lu Zhishen was too accustomed to the martial world, throwing his fist at each other if he disagreed with him, so he was not suitable to deal with the generals of the Western Army on his own.

After all, there were not many people in the army who beat up Han Wu who could become brothers with him after being beaten up by Lu Zhishen.

Ximenqing admired Lu Zhishen's bravery, loyalty and invincibility, but he dared not let him preside over the overall situation outside.

Ximen Qing decided to keep Lu Zhishen by his side and give full play to his martial arts talent.

"Golden Gunner" Xu Ning is a general who was born in the imperial squadron and is familiar with the affairs of the imperial guard.So Ximenqing transferred him back to the capital to serve as the deputy capital commander of the Dianqian Division and actually control the Forbidden Army.

This time, all of Ximenqing's old brothers got official and military positions in the state of Chu, and the young children Ximenqing trained in Ximenbao were also reused and placed in Jingdong Road, Jingji Road, Jingxibei Road and Jingxinan Road. states.

Ximen Qing's goal, of course, is to first build Shandong and Henan into his basic sphere of influence.

Lu Junyi, the "Jade Qilin" from the Daming Mansion in Hebei, originally wanted to take the "prodigal son" Yan Qing, abandon his family business, and join Ximenqing, and also came to get a military position.

But Ximenqing dissuaded Lu Junyi.

Ximen Qing has many strong generals under his command, and there is no shortage of two strong generals, Lu Junyi and Yan Qing.

On the contrary, after Ximen Qing went out to compete in the world, he didn't have so much energy to take care of various businesses.

The trade network across Jin, Chu, Korea, Japan and other countries still needs people to continue to sit in charge.

As the richest man in the Daming Mansion, Lu Junyi was trusted by Ximen Qing in terms of making money by doing business.
