Feng Dao looked down at the child in his arms, and suddenly felt his arms were extremely heavy. What he was holding in his arms was not a child, but the country and country of the Jin Empire!
The child curled up in Feng Dao's arms. Perhaps it was frightened by the repressed atmosphere, or it might be what the people call "recognition of life." It started crying, trying to break free from Feng Dao's restraints.
Feng Dao panicked. It would be terrible if he accidentally fell to the ground! Just when Feng Dao was at a loss, the eunuch next to him had quick hands and quick eyes, came to the rescue and took the child back.
When Shi Chongrui left Feng Dao's arms, Feng Dao felt relieved and let out a long breath. Looking at Shi Chongrui being carried away by the eunuch, Feng Dao fell into deep thought.
The change of the country's top leader is related to the honor and disgrace of the empire and determines the future of the nation, which must not be underestimated. Although Feng Dao is highly respected, he knows that the issue of supporting a new king cannot be solved by an imperial edict. No matter who he supports, he must have the support of a powerful character and must be backed by absolute strength. Military power is the most powerful right to speak. If there is no support from the army, Zhu Yougui will be seen from a distance, but Li Conghou will be seen from a distance.
After Feng Dao retreated, he immediately secretly met with a person named Jing Yanguang who held the military power of the Central Forbidden Army (the commander of the guards and pro-army forces).
Jing Yanguang's life is full of legend.
Jing Yanguang has received strict training from his father since he was a child. His father Jing Jian is a well-known archer. When he was very young, he received systematic devil training in archery. His coaching father is a firm believer in absolute strength and firmly believes that all skills are in vain in the face of absolute strength. His shooting training focuses on strength, followed by accuracy.
His father's training standard was only one: to wear iron. "It's better not to shoot if you can't shoot into the iron." This is my father's motto. As for the shooting distance and the thickness of iron, there are no records in historical records. We can reasonably reason that it should be within the effective range of the bow and arrow to shoot through standard iron armor, or it may be more stringent on this basis, such as super long distance, shooting through two Layer of iron armor, etc.
After receiving devilish training from his coach's father, Jing Yanguang is also known for his ability to "draw the strong", which means he can easily use a hard bow that ordinary people cannot draw. In actual combat, Jing Yanguang's ultra-long-distance shot through the iron plate brought a deterrent effect to the enemy that was comparable to a precise point kill.
With this unique skill, Jing Yanguang happily joined the army, gained fame, and was placed under the command of Zhu Youjie (Zhu Wen's nephew) in the Later Liang Dynasty. Unexpectedly, before he had time to display his talents on the battlefield, Zhu Youjie was placed under house arrest for treason. Jing Yanguang also fled because he was implicated.
After several twists and turns, he finally escaped the news and went to the tent of Wang Yanzhang, the famous general of the Later Liang Dynasty, "Wang Tiejian". It stands to reason that there is a high chance that he will shine under the hands of a famous general and reach the pinnacle of his life.
Unexpectedly, fate played tricks on people, and he followed Wang Yanzhang in the "defeat of Zhongdu". Wang Yanzhang was seriously injured and captured, and was later executed for refusing to surrender. This is like defecting to Guan Yu's tent, and then following Guan Yu to Maicheng; defecting to Zhuge Liang's tent, and then following Zhuge Liang to Qishan.
In this tragic battle, Jing Yanguang suffered several injuries and fled back to Bianzhou.
After he recovered, the dynasty had changed, and the Later Tang Dynasty replaced the Later Liang Dynasty. Jing Yanguang, who was born as a soldier, could only join the army again and change his destiny on the battlefield. At this time, Zhu Shouyin was in charge of Bianzhou.
When Wang Yanzhang made a surprise attack on Deshengdu, the defender of Deshengdu was Zhu Shouyin. Zhu Shouyin fled, which was Wang Yanzhang's highlight moment.
Fate is very good at playing tricks on people. Not long after Jing Yanguang surrendered to Zhu Shouyin's tent, Zhu Shouyin rebelled and was quickly eliminated. This time, Jing Yanguang failed to escape and was arrested. He was accused of being a "Zhu Shouyin Party Member" and should be executed according to the law.
The person responsible for supervising the execution of "Zhu Shouyin's party members" was the deputy envoy of the Sixth Army at the time, named Shi Jingtang.
Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd, I can never forget your face again. Shi Jingtang only took one look at Jing Yanguang and concluded that this person would do great things in the future, so he secretly used his position to release him.
At that time, Shi Jingtang would not have thought that one day he would sit on the throne of the emperor, nor would he have thought that the person he had brought back from the ghost gate would in the future forfeit his country and country.
Shi Jingtang used bloody facts to show us the serious consequences of abuse of power.
After the limelight of "Zhu Shouyin's rebellion case" passed, Shi Jingtang recruited Jing Yanguang into his account.
A few years later, Shi Jingtang rebelled...
It is estimated that when the "Hedong War" broke out, 10,000 alpacas ran through Jing Yanguang's heart. Zhu Youjie, Zhu Shouyin, and Shi Jingtang rebelled against whoever they followed, but they only followed Wang Yanzhang, a loyal man, and died heroically for his country. Jing Yanguang became the most difficult job seeker.
Wearing the label of "Zhu Shouyin's Party Member" and lingering in front of the Gate of Hell left a huge psychological shadow on Jing Yanguang. He knew that once Shi Jingtang failed, he would not be able to escape his misfortune and would definitely be labeled "Shi Jingtang's Party Member" If the investigators are careful enough, they may discover that he is still a "Zhu Shouyin Party Member" who slipped through the net. If further investigation is carried out, it will be found that he is still a "Zhu Youjia Party Member"...
He has distorted values, has always been treacherous, keen on rebellion, and refuses to change despite repeated admonitions... No one will dare to let him go anymore, he is dead.
Furthermore, he owed Shi Jingtang his life, and now it was time to repay the debt.
As a result, Jing Yanguang was determined in the battle to defend Taiyuan, risking his own life and repeatedly performing extraordinary feats. Shi Jingtang was deeply moved and secretly felt lucky for his original discernment.
After Shi Jingtang proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately promoted him to the commander-in-chief of the infantry of the Forbidden Army (commander of the guard infantry). He also added inspection and security guards, first led the training envoy of the Guozhou regiment, and then led the military envoy of Kuizhou. Both Guozhou and Kuizhou were within the territory of Hou Shu. Jing Yanguang only enjoyed the salary and benefits of Tuanlian Envoy and Jiedu Envoy, and did not actually control the actual power of the region. "Remote leadership" and "remote concurrent operations" were routine operations. On the one hand, The emperor used this to improve the political status and treatment of ministers. Secondly, it contained the incentive of "ordering oneself to get it".
Soon after, Shi Jingtang asked Jing Yanguang, who was in charge of the Forbidden Army, to go to the local area for training, and appointed him as the governor of the Yicheng Army. He left Huazhou, moved to Shaanzhou to protect the Yi Army, then moved to Heyang, and finally moved to Tianfu Qi. In the year (942), he was recalled to the central government and granted the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Guards and Pro-Army Command to command the imperial army.
Jing Yanguang can barely be counted as one, or half of the "Hedong direct descendant". It can be seen that Shi Jingtang cultivated him very much. He not only gave him the power of the imperial army, but also sent him to three important towns as a military governor within 6 years. He mixed seniority and gained experience and reputation in the central and local, military and political affairs. .
