However, this long-awaited awarding of honors and merits is only the beginning. Immediately afterwards, the Xijing Lixingyuan/Anxing Yushi Department, including one room and three halls including the internal machine room, grain hall, training hall, and work camp hall, were also roughly established in a very short period of time. be able to operate at full capacity.
Compared with Jiang Zheng, the supervisor who controls the secret treasury and the daily operations, training, dispatch and supervision of lay personnel; as the deputy supervisor of the Supervisory Division, Yu Cong is not surprised to become, in addition to the internal computer room, Other practical leaders of the three departments of grain, training, and work and camp.
But what was more unexpected was that when the newly arrived head of the third hall was performing his duties, Jiang Tian was somewhat surprised to see an acquaintance. He is the newly appointed director of the Work and Camp Department. He likes the construction of various utensils and has a similar and unique aesthetic concept. Geng Shu, the nephew of the Minister of Punishment;
However, his arrival is neither unexpected nor unexpected. Because, according to what Geng Shui said nonchalantly in private, it was Geng Jingzhuo, the uncle of the Ministry of Punishment, who personally came to his door and pressed his head and threatened to burn his collection of many years and dismiss those Hu Ji who forced him to accept his fate.
The other two principals also have their own origins. Among them, Liu Yunzhong, who is in charge of the grain department, is said to be the same clan as the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. He was also one of the outstanding representatives of the staff who participated in the imperial tour on behalf of the Economics Institute of Beijing University five years ago. He is currently the inspector of the transportation department of Guannai City. official.
Du Shenquan, the person in charge of the training hall, had a bigger background. He was from the Du family in Jingzhao, who was once known as "Weidu in the south of the city, two feet away from the sky"; his ancestor was Du Ruhui, the prime minister of Shuozhenguan. Although after the Anshi Rebellion, the momentum was not as strong as before because many people were on the wrong team.
Even Du family in Xiangcheng, who was represented by Du Fu and had a sudden rise in scholarship and heirloom, was outnumbered for a long time. But after all, it is the heritage of an old family, and the situation is far better than that of Jinyang Wang, Qinghe Cui, Fan Yanglu and other senior Qiwang whose families were suppressed due to suspicion of treason.
He also changed his tune and devoted himself to military service and actively participated in the great conquest of foreign lands. Not only was the Jingzhao Du family a latecomer, but he also regained a place in East Borneo among the many Ping vassal princes in the South China Sea. He also divided into several large and small generals, Du Shen The right comes from one of them.
Now he joins the army as You Qian Niu Wei and records affairs, and also leads the training hall of Xijingli Xingyuan/Anxing Yushi Department. But Jiang Tian was actually not very satisfied with this; because the ideal candidate in his mind should be senior officials who were skilled in business rather than such talented individuals with proven backgrounds.
Is it possible that, at the beginning of the establishment of this Xijing branch/department, I still have to hold my nose to help and teach, are these obviously young talents who have been stuffed in by various parties? But fortunately, when Jiang Tianzao was established, he had already captured the core containment, internal affairs, and operational personnel.
If we still keep a tight grip on other departments, I'm afraid many people will start to have random thoughts and even have trouble sleeping and eating. After all, the Secret Service Department/Li Xingyuan is essentially a powerful department with special expediency. Without corresponding checks and balances, it is difficult to make people feel at ease.
Jiang Tian is not the kind of power controller who likes to hold great power and enjoy arbitrary actions; even this responsibility is just to use the power and resources of the system. Therefore, the requirements for other people are not high; as long as the expert departments they lead do not hinder themselves.
Of course, if one of them really shows that he is stretching his legs, dragging down the overall performance for a long time, or even delaying things by fighting for power, then Jiang Tian would not mind driving him out with his own hands (in a physical sense), or making him pay a sufficient price. Be a warning to others (also physically).
Therefore, when most of the people present took their new duties and paid their respects; after Jiang Tian, as the chief official, made a similar speech, everyone was in an uproar and couldn't agree; even Xin Pingping and other old people looked embarrassed, but afterwards The reactions and attitudes of the three principals were also different.
The first person to come to him was undoubtedly his old acquaintance Geng Shu. Although he still looks careless, he rarely expresses in a serious manner that he comes here purely to deal with one or two things; so except for the craftsmanship that interests him, he doesn't care about anything else.
Then there is Liu Yunzhong, the head of the Grain Bureau. He also stated his attitude straightforwardly. He was entrusted by the then Prime Minister to come here specifically to supervise and supervise. The imperial court allocated funds under the name of the Xijing branch, and the use of various funds and materials; there was no other aspect. Asked for.
Finally, there is Du Shenquan, the head of the training hall. With a seemingly polite and polite attitude, and maintaining a certain distance and sense of proportion, he admitted that his specially appointed duty was to supervise and prevent the abuse of force in the Lixingyuan. You will only do what you think is right and don't care what others think.
Regardless of whether their performance is true or false, it at least initially expressed their respective attitudes and positions. Therefore, that night, Jiang Tian also had a few drinks at the welcome banquet hosted by Yu Cong, the deputy supervisor in charge of the expert department, at Taiyuan Building, one of the famous 36th floor shops in Chang'an.
After enjoying the banquet, which had the sour and salty food flavor of Shannan West Road, with fish and sheep as the main ingredients, and a variety of ingredients, Jiang Tian declined Yu Cong and others politely, and continued the banquet elsewhere. Invitation; summoned several personal followers, and embarked on the return journey covered with stars and moon.
After letting Qin go, he immediately ordered the carriage to slow down and walk a few more laps in the market so that he could rest for a while. Because just now, Jiang Tian once again received a wave of recharge renewals from another time and space. Or maybe in another time and space, someone was carrying out a large-scale blood sacrifice ceremony...
In the country of Haedong in different time and space, Donglaefu (Busan City), an important town on the southeast coast, is inside and outside the city. Among the ruins burned to the ground, battles of all sizes have not subsided; however, wave after wave of Fuso prisoners were escorted over and beheaded amidst the singing and dancing of the witches.
In the distant ports adjacent to Fucheng, the flags and horse tags of various shapes embroidered with family emblems, which represented the Fuso people’s last tenacious resistance, were falling one after another; at the same time, they also represented the Fuso people’s The family name and family status that were once prominent in the land were destroyed on the spot.
Gathered on the coast, a large number of old, weak, women and children from the Fuso princes and the feudal army were also being driven away by their own people. They cried and waded into the sea water; then it turned into undulating waves. Among the waves, many black spots floated and floated.
But on the sea outside the port city where the sails were originally stretched, there were only a few dozen large and small ships left; they were loaded with densely packed heads, filling up the sails and paddling away with all their strength. However, from time to time, someone would fall from the boat and disappear into the rippling waves.
As the convener and supreme leader of the Fusang princes' national effort to cross the sea and the Great Western Expedition; King Deming, who is regarded as a symbol of the resurgence of the contemporary royal family, is on one of the Dongping ships with the largest capacity. This is also the highest masterpiece and achievement of Haidong's imitation of the flying fish warships from China.
However, King Deming, who had escaped the biggest crisis in his life, was sitting in the highest hut with no expression, lame, disheveled, and expressionless, staring blankly at Dong Lai, who had been shrouded in fireworks, fighting, and crying. Fucheng; as if I want to remember something unforgettably or give up something.
It was also as if he was remembering his hopes for a great revival of royal power that had been wiped out, as well as the hundreds of thousands of Fusang troops, tribesmen and people who were buried in this land east of the sea. He didn't even think about how he fell to this point step by step despite his huge victory and advantage.
Could it be that the land of Haidong and the bloodline of Gongshi are really blessed by gods, so that in times of danger, they will suddenly appear holy and reunite the shattered hearts. Still, there's good news for him, bad news, and a mix of good and bad news.
The good news is that during this attack, Haidong Land also suffered heavy losses, especially the power on the sea, which was almost wiped out. Therefore, there is no need to worry about retaliatory counter-invasion from Haidong in a few years. But the bad news is that there was a riot in Pingchengjing and the news was cut off.
As for the good news, it is that most of the powerful princes and vassals participated in this sea-crossing expedition under the guarantee and coercion of the royal family. Therefore, all the princes and vassals who also suffered heavy losses and even fell into the crisis of annihilation The daimyo family was no longer able to attack the royal family.
This also means that as long as he can return to Heijingjing safely, with the population and output advantages occupied by the royal family, after several years of recuperation, he will easily be able to form an overwhelming force against those powerful princes/vassals/daimyos. Advantages and chances of winning...
However, this price was too painful; almost an entire generation or two of the feudal lords and vassal families of the Fuso Land were lost, the most elite group of young people, as well as the manpower and material resources accumulated over the years. If we happen to encounter a famine, it will be a tragic world where people will starve and die.
At this time, fierce shouts sounded again on the ship, interrupting King Deming's mourning and remembrance; but this small escape fleet had already rushed out of the unique circular promontory bay along the coast of Donglaifu, and arrived at a more The deep open sea; a fleet with a Fuso flag is approaching.
However, after waiting for a long time, no one came to report or pass the news to King Deming; instead, when a big pass ship came up against the side, it turned into the sound of rushing footsteps again. Immediately, King Deming saw a group of strange sergeants wearing gray armor coming towards him.
However, the many ministers, retinues and guards present on the ship, and even the attendants and eunuchs who were approaching, rarely remained silent unanimously; as those strange sergeants in gray armor rushed towards them, they even turned sideways. , not daring to turn around and look at where King Deming was.
At this moment, King Deming seemed to realize that he seemed to have been abandoned by everyone at this moment. In other words, when he abandoned the vast majority of his troops and tribesmen, boarded the ship and fled Donglai Mansion, he had already lost most of the people's hearts, and maybe he only needed an opportunity.
In the end, only one of the maids he had just visited rushed out of the cabin in disheveled clothes, reaching out to shout something to the left and right; then she was cut down to the ground in two parts with a knife; finally the leading gray-armored general arrived. In front of King Deming, he bowed slightly and said: "Pingchengjing has changed its name, please load the samples and get on the road quickly!"
However, King Deming suddenly roared with ferocious filial piety: "I am a holy descendant of the divine lineage, from a branch of the imperial family of the above country, and Ji An, a mere minister, dares to harm me! I am not afraid of anyone in the world in "The Great Ceremony System" Kill him?"
"Of course I dare not be humble!" However, the general wrote lightly with a little pity: "However, since the above has broken the "Great Ceremony System" that stipulates that the vassal state does not conscript or engage in private quarrels, is it possible that Do you still think anyone is willing to follow it?"
"What's more, this time we are going to welcome you, we have a more important mission, which is to worship the god who protects Haidong..."
