Quan Yutianxia GL

Zhangye County was originally the land of the Huns.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, General Huo Qubing broke through Longxi, and the Xiongnu who controlled this area surrendered to the Han Dynasty. Therefore, in the sixth year of Yuanding, the Han Dynasty divided Zhangye County in the east of Jiuquan County, taking "Zhang Guobi Ye, To pass the Western Regions 'meaning.

Before leaving Muyang City, I heard Mr. Huo tell about the origin of Zhangye County. At that time, the governor of Chu County was also there. He listened and said with a smile: "However, in the last years of the Han Dynasty, after the mad demon Wang Mang usurped the throne, he not only changed the name of Goguryeo For the next sentence, Zhangye County, which has a profound meaning, was changed to Sheping County."

Liu Changgui stroked his chin and thought for a while, and felt that the name of the place was indeed changed by Wang Mang a bit strangely, but it's not really a madman who changed his name, right?

"Changing Zhangye County into Sheping County, and changing Goguryeo to Xiagouli, this is not Wang Mang's pinnacle work." At that time, the governor of Chu County covered his face with a book, but he still laughed happily: "The Hexi Corridor of the Han Dynasty Zhangye, Wuwei, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang were established as four prefectures, but after Wang Mang changed the name of Zhangye to Shiping, in a blink of an eye, for some unknown reason, he gave the name of "Zhangye County" to the nearby Wuwei County."

This name change method is indeed a bit magical!Liu Changgui asked: "Jiuquan and Dunhuang are still using the old names, is this considered to be preserved?"

"It's strange to keep it!" Huo Yunshu shook his head and sighed: "These two places have been changed to Fuping and Dunde respectively."

"..."

Liu Changgui felt that he had been severely traumatized in his heart, but he heard the Governor of Chu say again: "The one who suffered the most was Yuzhou. Nanyang County was renamed 'Front Team', Hanoi County was called 'Rear Team', and Yingchuan County was called 'Front Team'. The Left Team, the Right Team in Hongnong County, the Zhao Team in Hedong County, and the Qi Team in Xingyang County, collectively known as the Yuzhou Sixth Team.”

Zhaoqi, front, back, left, right...the six teams are all assembled, are they going to fight with someone?

Immediately, Liu Changgui couldn't hold back anymore, and his heart was full of "hahaha..."

However, Mr. Huo, who once explained the map of Daqing County to Chu Shijun, was laughed like a dog, did not want to let go of Mr. Liu, who was pretending to be serious at the moment, and then said: "Yuzhou is not bad, you Nan County was changed to Rufen County; Langya County was changed to Tianyi County; Fuli County in Pei County was changed to Conghe County; Wuxi County in Kuaiji County was changed to Youxi County; There is Guyuan County, which was changed to Gujin County; Dongping Country has Yan County, which was changed to Wuyan County; Dongping Country also has Kangfu City, which was changed to Shunfu City; Xihe County has Yuan Yin, I somehow offended Wang Mang and was renamed Fang Yin..."

In an instant, Liu Changgui burst into laughter, and couldn't stop laughing until his stomach ached. It has been nearly more than a month since he left Muyang City, and he still laughs unconsciously every time he thinks about it.

Liu Si always felt that from now on, he would no longer be able to look at the map of Daqing seriously.

Although Governor Chu had only agreed to Eunuch An's [-] sets of clothes at the beginning, before Liu Changgui set off, he still managed to gather [-] sets of clothes.

With a force of one bureau and two thousand sets of clothes, he set off from Muyang City with great fanfare. He walked for nearly more than a month, and spent the New Year's Eve on the way. Liu Changgui couldn't help but smile more clearly during the conversation with Chu County Sheriff.

Because before he left, Mr. Chu granted him a sum of public funds - a full 200 taels of gold, that is to say, almost two thousand copper coins!

It can be said that this is the first time that the entire Liaodong County Governor's Mansion has granted such a large amount of money to a public official who has gone out-you must know that the envoy of Chu was in Huang County the year before last and started his business with three hundred copper coins. The Weimin Army is not a secret, and the envoy of Chu himself often talks about it, recalling the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness with the soldiers.

Of course, this is not the biggest reason for him to smile heartily—although Chu Shijun only gave one round of troops this time, he chose a flag from each of the three divisions of Xuanjia, Control String and Xiaoqi. The elite mixed bureau, and the weapons and equipment are more sophisticated than before.

The Xuanjia soldiers not only brought heavy armor and heavy shields, but each of them was also equipped with three three-edged/edge/gun heads and three-handled ring-shouldered knives as spares; , Each person also added a pair of horns/bows/crossbows; not to mention the cavalry, each of them added horns/bows/crossbows and long swords used by Fengming War Department in addition to thin armor and ring-headed waist sabers. knife.

In other words, with the weapons and equipment brought out this time alone, Liu Changgui can expand into a mixed combat department at any time with manpower.

Money is second, and the most important thing is weapons. If there is no absolute trust, few superiors will feel at ease.

Of course, the envoy Chu's trust and reuse made Liu Changgui very happy, even a little proud, but this did not mean that he was a reckless person. On the contrary, he asked the envoy Chu to appoint a man to supervise the army on the spot.

Therefore, the envoy of Chu asked the Military Justice Department and the Operations Research Department to appoint a deputy chief, who would be in charge of supervising the army and the war staff respectively, and she herself also sent a degree and brought a team of personal soldiers over.

In other words, the actual strength of the troops for this trip is - a Xuanjia flag, a string control flag, and a Xiaoqi flag to form a battle bureau.

The deputy head of the bureau sent by the Military Judiciary Department also brought a brigade-level pacifier. In addition to executing the combat orders issued by Liu Changgui when necessary, his main duty was to supervise the non-commissioned officers and soldiers at all levels in accordance with the military law. .

The deputy director general sent by the Operations Research Department also brought a team of high-level scouts to collect intelligence for reference in the war.

As for the personal soldiers brought by the degree, they were renamed "Suwei" by the envoy of Chu, and they are specially responsible for protecting the safety of officers above the deputy chief. Of course, they also need to participate in battles in emergency situations.

That is to say, while maintaining his loyalty to the governor of Liaodong County, Liu Changgui, the commander-in-chief, enjoys the leadership and command of this army.If he has two intentions, then the Military Judiciary Division and the Permanent Guard can jointly control him personally, and transfer the leadership and command to the deputy director general appointed by the Operations Research Division.

It can also be said that what Liu Changgui took away from the Liaodong County Shoufu this time is not only a mixed bureau, but also an expanded bureau. It is very likely that this is the organizational structure after the expansion of the Liaodong County Shoufu.This structure not only separates the power of war command from the power of war planning, but even the power of supervision is also independent. Moreover, it is not just to appoint a person to supervise the top leader, but to delegate the supervisor to the banner-level establishment.

With the level of weaponry of the Guards and People's Army, it has independent combat capabilities starting from the banner level.A banner-level organization, 36 soldiers, one banner chief, in charge of war command; two deputy banner chiefs, in addition to executing necessary combat orders, one is in charge of supervision, and the other is in charge of war staff.

Faced with such an unexpected new structure, Liu Changgui did not have any objection, and he could not help objecting, he could only accept it completely.

But later, he thought and thought along the way, and felt that the arrangement made by Mr. Chu was actually protecting him—even if something went wrong on this trip, at least he was not solely responsible for it. The two deputy bureau chiefs, including the degree, can't run away.

"President Liu, someone is coming under the banner of General Wei from ten miles ahead." The scout came back on his horse and reported, "There are not many people here, only about twenty riders..."

Liu Changgui put his hands on his forehead, looked forward, saw there were sand mountains besides the Ruoshui River, and said: "When I passed the Jianshui Pass the day before yesterday, I heard people say that I went upstream along the Ruoshui River, and walked three or four times. Juyan can be reached within a hundred miles... We came from Liaodong with such great fanfare, presumably they have already got the news, and it is not surprising to rush over to pick up the journey. However, it is still the most important thing to be careful, and order the whole army to be on alert immediately. "

A group of people waited for a while with swords and shields in hand, and they saw more than twenty horsemen rushing towards them.

The man in front, who was young, dark-skinned and extremely tall, wore a set of iron armor made by the Qing Dynasty court, and carried two big hammers. robe?"

"Lieutenant Liu Changgui, the last general Zhenyi, came from Liaodong!" Liu Changgui also yelled, but just as the wind and sand rolled by, he ate a mouthful of sand, poohed it, and shouted: "Who is here?"

"This old man is Wei Chuyan!"

Liu Changgui was startled, he hurriedly rode his horse and walked a few steps forward, prostrating and saying, "I didn't expect that the general came to greet me in person! I am ashamed of myself!"

Wei Chuyan was appointed by the emperor as the Great General of Zhenxi. He commanded the entire army of Liangzhou, and his official position was higher than that of the envoy of Chu in Liaodong County. Liu Changgui really couldn't imagine that he would personally come to pick up these two thousand sets of winter clothes.

"It's okay, it just happened that I went to Xiaofang City to inspect yesterday, and I expected you to arrive soon, so I wanted to wait for two days." Wei Chuyan helped Liu Changgui himself, and laughed loudly: "But I didn't think about it. There is news from the water gate that you are almost here."

"Ashamed! Although I waited all the way in a hurry..."

"Lieutenant Liu, you don't need to be polite anymore." Wei Chuyan sighed: "You have all rushed over from Liaodong, and the court has not heard anything yet... Forget it, let's not talk about this, let's go! Take the general to see the new clothes go!"

After taking a few steps closer, Wei Chuyan could clearly see the semaphore fluttering in the wind on the carriages:

How can you say that you have no clothes, and you share the same robe with your son!

The comrades bleed!We cry!

The Liangzhou comrades bravely rejected the Huns!Liaodong soldiers thousands of miles to send cold clothes!

Save every penny, give every love, and warm the world with true love!

May the Liaodong comrades defeat the Xiongnu, return triumphantly as soon as possible, and have fun with wine!

……

Touching the neatly stacked winter clothes on the car, Wei Chuyan's eyes turned red, and he said with sobs: "What a Liaodong general and soldier are all offering their love! Is it true that there are a thousand sets here as rumored?"

"General, here... are two thousand sets."

Liu Changgui dared not look Wei Chuyan in the eye. He knew that there were at least [-] sets of clothes stored in the quarantine area outside Muyang City...but if Mr. Chu didn't ask, he had no right to move it.

Looking at the comrades wrapped in animal skins behind General Wei, Liu Changgui suddenly thought of the old days in Donglai Mountain, and thought about his current treatment. In addition to being superior, he felt sympathetic, gritted his teeth, and said: " We in Liaodong County even collected some copper coins and exchanged them for 100 taels of gold..."

Anyway, the envoy of Chu said that it is up to him to decide what to use for the two thousand guan, so he can give half of it to General Wei, and maybe it can save an emergency... There is no harm in trying to win in front of General Wei.

"Good! Good! Good!" Wei Chuyan praised: "What a righteous Chu Wenhe! I, Wei Chuyan, wrote it down!"

After saying that, Wei Chuyan took out the order talisman for Liu Changgui to check, and after it was correct, he took Liu Changgui and others to Xiaofang City to rest.

But Wei Chuyan didn't know that his court, which had been waiting for thousands of years, was still crying poorly with the emperor.

The new year is just over, the spring plowing has not yet started, the spring tax has not yet started, and the treasury is still empty.

Envoys from various tribes gathered in Chang'an, and they all clamored to marry Princess Yingchuan, causing the court to be extremely annoyed. Even Yuan Xiangguo sometimes thought, maybe, Gu Wenxiong should be allowed to enter the palace before the New Year's Eve. Xianbei in the east, set up a military force and talk about peace.

The emperor still didn't go to court very much, and often listened to the eminent monks from the Western Regions in the Mingguang Palace. No matter how much the courtiers cried poorly, he seemed indifferent and let the old man let it go.

Until the end of January, the day when Eunuch An returned to Chang'an from Youzhou, the emperor did not announce the eminent monks to enter the palace, but sat in the study room and waited early. It was not until after noon that Eunuch An entered the study room out of breath. .

He turned away the servants around him, and before Eunuch An could rest his breath, the emperor laughed and scolded: "You old man, you are finally willing to come back, I was almost forced to death! Tell me quickly, this How much did you get back?"

"Your Majesty, it's all here, and this old slave has memorized everything!" Eunuch An took out a thin booklet from his sleeve pocket, handed it to the emperor, and said, "The 20 guan in Liaodong and Liaoxi are all exchanged." It turned into gold, totaling 2 taels. The rest are all copper coins, totaling 37 taels. The old slaves have sent people back to the palace. If your majesty wants to see it, ask them to bring it now..."

"That is to say, there are a total of 57 guan?" The emperor breathed a sigh of relief immediately, and sighed: "It's still you, an old man, who has an idea and can solve my worries. Those ministers in the court, if you have the slightest loyalty, I will pay you back." These years, I don’t have to suffer from being useless…”

Eunuch An didn't dare to say this, he could only wait for the emperor to lose his temper, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty is both literary and military, the world is all because of you, and the ministers in the court are actually loyal to His Majesty..."

"Forget it, you old man, you will also make love." The emperor was so angry that he smiled and gave Eunuch An a kick, but the force was very light, and then he asked: "When I go back to Youzhou, have you seen anything?" fun?"

"Yes, yes!" An Gonggong Lian Fu Dijun sat firmly on the couch, went out and shouted, and saw two servants coming over with a jade box and a red sandalwood box.

Carefully put it in front of the emperor, Eunuch An introduced: "This red sandalwood box is a special product in the heaven and earth in Liaodong, the 'Satisfactory' wine collection; this jade box is the 'Unparalleled' wine."

"I remember, the wine they sent last time was called 'Famous World'? Why did you change the name this time?"

"Yes, last year Liaodong brewed a total of three sets of 'Famous in the World', but this year, they only brewed one set of 'Unparalleled in the World'." Mr. An explained: "Because it is the only one in the world, the price is 99. One thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine guan, ready to sell... The old slave thought to himself, naturally only His Majesty, the unparalleled wine in the world, deserves to have it, so he forced it..."

"Pfft!" The emperor didn't care about Wushuang or Youshuang. He was so shocked that he almost fell off the couch when he heard the price: "Just this wine? The price is 99 guan? Is the sheriff crazy? Or is it that the whole world is crazy and the money is too much to spend?”

"This... I don't know about this old slave." Mr. An said fairly: "However, this old slave heard people say that Heaven and Earth sold a set of 'famous all over the world' last year at a price of [-] yuan. By the way, after the New Year's Eve In those few days, the old slave was in Youzhou, and I heard that there was a family member who specially asked someone to buy a set of 'Feng Shengshuiqi' in Muyang City."

Upon hearing the name of the wine, Dijun unconsciously rubbed his heart, and then asked, "What is the price?"

"I heard that the asking price in heaven and earth was 99 guan." Eunuch An also felt his heart ache, and he even found someone to inquire about the origin of the aristocratic family, but the other party seemed to deliberately hide his identity and did not let him know. He found useful information.

"It's just a few catties of wine, why is it worth such a sky-high price?" The emperor asked in surprise, "The family didn't lower the price?"

"Heaven and earth, it's not good to lower the price." Eunuch An mentioned: "Besides, in this heaven and earth, your Majesty also has [-]% of your profits..."

When the emperor heard this, he thought that there were almost five thousand guan in it, so he laughed and scolded: "Chu Wenhe should be allowed to lie to these aristocratic families!"

The two talked for a while, Eunuch An explained the great drama "Blood Battle in the West of Liaoning" to Dijun in detail. He even performed a scene with Eunuch An himself.

"At that time, the situation in western Liaoning was at a critical juncture. Xiao Zhongwu went north alone, and Mrs. Yan led the crowd to help. Chu Zhaoyi sternly asked, "May I ask where the fighting spirit is?"

The emperor flicked his sleeves, walked like a dragon and walked like a tiger, and said loudly: "The fighting spirit is still there!"

Eunuch An imitated Chu Zhaoyi on the stage and asked again: "Why are you fighting?"

The emperor was arrogant and said: "Fight for the people of the world! Fight for the righteousness of the world!"

……

While singing, the guards outside came to report that it was Yuan Xiangguo who asked to see him.

Immediately, the emperor lost all interest, and said with a wry smile: "The money was carried into the palace on the front foot, and someone asked for money on the back foot."

Eunuch An didn't know how to answer, so he remained silent, and then he heard the emperor say: "It's all right if you want money, I'm afraid it will come again to persuade me to make a crown prince."

"Forget it, An Rui, send a message to Gu Wenxiong for me, let him and Li Zhan set off for Chang'an immediately. There is also Wei Chuyan, a stupid bastard, who can't use his brain, and tries his best to hit people with knives. I have to protect him." some."

"As for Liaodong and Liaoxi, with Xiao Hongfei and Mrs. Yan around, I can rest assured... As for Chu Wenhe, I will also pass on a message to her for me, whether it is military expansion or gold mines, no matter who deceives anyone, as long as she Give me money with peace of mind, and I won't treat her badly."

The author has something to say: Wang Mang changed his name to this. When I read "Xin Mang's Job Examination", I almost laughed so hard that my stomach hurts. I said he changed his name to Kuangmo or praised him. At that time, there were 116 counties in the country, and he changed the names of 91 counties. , 1585 counties, he changed 730 counties, and he not only changed the names of counties and counties, there was a grass road in Longxi County, which he changed its name to - Caolu...

I don't know what kind of mood Ban Gu, who later edited "Hanshu", was in when he wrote "Geography"!
