Taiyuan City, the main hall of the prefect's yamen, and in the deep and wide hall, Di Lie, who was ranked high and spread his legs and leaned on the high-backed chair covered with brocade, relaxed his whole body and breathed comfortably - he was finally back!

Only when you return to your own city and your army can you feel full of peace of mind and a sense of power as a superior. This experience shows that Di Lie is not absolutely necessary in the future, it cannot be

Leave the army lightly.

Only with an army can one be called a hero of the country; a person or a gun is at most a personal hero.

In troubled times, those who can do great things must be heroes; but those who can achieve great things are only heroes.

Di Lie didn't know what others would choose, but he would only choose the latter.

This is a new month. On the first day of June, when the first ray of sunshine in the morning penetrates from the left pane of the main hall, the generals and officials from the military and political circles of Tianshu City were divided into two squads of civil and military affairs, and entered one after another through the gate.

The military officers on the left were Yang Zaixing, Guan Zhongyong, Yang Fen, Yang Zhechong, Ling Yuan, Fu Xuan, Zhao Bangjie, Liu Ze, A Shu and other military generals, all of whom were the chief brigades, and the deputy ranks were left behind in the positions and were ready for battle.

As for civil officials, except for Zhang Jiao who was negotiating in Yinzhou, other important personnel, such as Chen Gui, Hou Fangjing, Liu Erping, Wang Youzhi, royal family and officials from various counties all came from Pingding and Tianshu City.

This is the first important town that has been established since the establishment of Tianshu City and can become an important foundation for the emperor. If nothing unexpected happens, the political and military centers of Tianshu City will be moved to Taiyuan. And the Hedong half of the wall will be purchased, and the territory will be located.

The sudden increase in Tianshu City regime has more places. I believe that many officials and eye-catching officials will be promoted. In the long run, more old officials will be gradually absorbed into the Tianshu City system. This time, Taiyuan will be settled.

All the officials were very surprised and celebrated each other. Then, as soon as the city lord summoned him, he followed the scene and gathered in Taiyuan, which was a clear proof.

The civil servants had an objection to the fact that they had just conquered Taiyuan and had not yet established their foothold, the city lord suddenly appeared in Yinzhou five hundred miles away and launched a national war. However, when they had the greatest opinion, they could not find Di Lie.

When the city lord saw Di Lie, everything was settled. The power of Tianshu City increased a lot, and it also united the Jinning Army and Linfu Road to eliminate the worries in the northwest of Taiyuan. At the same time, it was with Xia State

A peace agreement is reached, bad things turn into good things... Faced with this unpredictable new pattern every day, civil servants have nothing to complain about.

The generals had no other complaints except for expressing surprise at the fact that the military commander had not appeared in Yinzhou. As generals of the Tianzhu Army, they just obeyed the orders. Whether they were fighting Jinlu or Xianu, the military commander's sword

What the front refers to is the target of the entire army. The consequences are not something that the soldiers have to consider, and as long as they win, the consequences will not be bad, right?

Di Lie's official statement about his disappearance in Taiyuan this time and Yinzhou suddenly appeared: he received an emergency secret report from the Intelligence Department, and the Zhe family invested money. The Jinning Army's movements were unknown, which seriously threatened the safety of the Taiyuan flanks and had to be dispatched urgently. At the same time, in order to solve the problem, he was forced to dispatch it urgently.

The above two armies were worried about it and launched the Battle of Xia. After this war, the border border with Xia in the northwest should be able to maintain three to five years of stability. Moreover, this stability will become more and more stable with the Tianzhu Army in the future.

Stronger and longer...

Among the top generals present, they knew that the first half of this sentence was a bit untrue, and they also knew that the issue involved the female soldiers in Tianjiao Camp was involved. However, for this reason, no one dared to investigate it in depth.

Di Lie is not only a warrior, but also a simple general, but a military and political leader who combines the city lord and military lord with superiors. Especially after conquering Taiyuan, his reputation and prestige leaps even more

Going to a new level, even those royal family or old officials who were disrespectful to him, who had unknown origin, would never doubt that he had the appearance of a prince who dominated one side. For a future

If you want to make any difference in the matters that damage your reputation, try not to make any public.

In this military and political affairs hall that Tianshu City and Tianzhu Army have been using for the next few years, Di Lie and the Jinjin from Tianshu City military and political parties have decided on a series of political, economic, people's livelihood, military, military, etc.

In terms of future development, Di Lie is responsible for the military and military aspects; in terms of politics, economy and people's livelihood, Chen Gui and Zhang Jiao take the lead, selecting officials and scholars with talents and certain governance capabilities to go to the prefectures

County. I believe in the talents who meet the conditions, and I will catch a lot of Tianshu City and Pingding City.

However, Di Lie has a method that is obviously different from the Song Dynasty's use of local officials. Whether it is the prefect, the prefect, or the county magistrate, they are all military and political power. However, the Tianshu City regime is completely different, and the military and political separation is implemented.

Civil officials have no right to command the army. Local troops are the system and are only responsible to the generals at the next level. In this way, no matter what kind of senior officials the officials and scholars become, there will always be generals and troops at the same level as them.

Shock.

In the chaotic times, the gun determines everything. Di Lie, who has military power, will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai. As for the peaceful and prosperous times, the pen will eventually overwhelm the gun, which is the future.

In terms of military affairs, there are currently only two Jin troops that have potential threats to the Tianzhu Army: Hezhong Prefecture, which blocked the Tianzhu Army's way south to Guanzhong, had a 30,000 Wanyan Loushi army that was eyeing him; north of Taiyuan

There were more than 10,000 troops from the Jin Dynasty, who had confronted the Tianzhu Army at Tianmen Pass.

Three important officials stationed in Xijing in the Jin Dynasty: Han Qixian, the main general Yelu Yuji, and the deputy general Yelu Nuge were all former officials of Liao. They had more than 10,000 soldiers under their command, and most of them were Khitans, Xi people, and what was the combat power.

It is only second-rate. Facing a dangerous pass like Tianmen Pass, it is powerless to attack. Two months ago, thousands of troops led by Yelu Nuge were blocked by Fu's White Horse Brigade, which lost hundreds of troops

The soldiers were helpless. Finally, I heard that Taiyuan City was broken and retreated in a hurry. Wang Zhongzhi led his army to chase after him for a while, and hundreds of people were lost, most of the baggage was lost. Therefore, the Jin army north of Taiyuan was just scabies

It is impossible to truly pose a threat to the Tianzhu Army.

The real threat is Wanyan Loushi of Hezhong Prefecture. He holds the sharp troops of the Western Route Army. He is the first general of the Jinxi Route Army. He is trusted by Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Western Route Army.

Block the Tianzhu Army in the Taiyuan Basin. Now is the hot summer in June. It has always been the truce of the Jin army, so Wanyan Loushi remained silent, but he just stepped up the collection of information about Tianshu City and Tianzhu Army.

After September, the Jinxi Road Army was very likely to sharpen its swords and rush its troops to face each other.

Therefore, the current defense focus of the Tianzhu Army and its next target are Wanyan Loushi's Western Route Army.

The territory of Tianshu City has expanded rapidly, and the drawbacks of military strength have begun to appear. Expand the army and training are urgent. Di Lie is preparing to expand 10,000 troops in advance. Then, based on the total number of Dingkou of the power reported by the yamen, the total number of troops will be finally determined.

The basic policy is to draw one rank for three households, and the military-civilian ratio is controlled at 8 to 1.

In terms of training, the entire army's integrated training that was interrupted due to the Taiyuan Battle was officially restored. The brigades took turns to send troops back to Taiyuan for training. At the same time, the first and second stages of the Taiyuan Battle were defeated with the attack on the battle of Yinzhou, and the city was broken.

Experiences and lessons in chariot warfare and other aspects were compiled into a book and distributed to the first-level army for study and discussion. It is also an important training content for the training.

In terms of administration, it is enough to migrate to settle 200,000 people and move them to Taiyuan, Shizhou, Shouyang, Yuci, Yuxian, Wenshui, Jiexiu, Taigu, etc.

After being busy, others such as counting Dingkou, relocation, distributing land, repairing cities... The old work schedule has been scheduled until next year.

Di Lie is still the same rule, only doing what he is good at. He gives the unfamiliar people's livelihood and administration to those who are capable of doing it. A year ago, Di Lie had only one ordinary soldier, but for the past year, he has not been able to do it.

The interrupted war career has honed his potential for generals and commanders, but in terms of politics and economy, he may not be as good as the civil officials of this era. In fact, a truly wise superior cannot and does not need to do everything personally.

Just focus on the big and let go of the small and just control the generals.

The military and political meeting was held until the afternoon. When the last list of officials' assessments and recommendations for each county were completed, the participants' belly made a sound. Di Lie smiled and announced the end of the meeting, handing over the official recommendation list to the old rules, and let him

The queen in Tianshu City Apricot Garden was reviewed and finally the joint seal was used to take effect. This is not the power of Empress Zhu to arrest personnel and appointments and removals, but many officials felt that without the regular seals of the royal family, they seemed to be officials and doing things.

It's not right.

Strictly speaking, Empress Zhu’s seal is not formal enough. There are only two truly recognized valid seals in the Song Dynasty: the imperial jade seal and the "mandated treasure" made by Song Dynasty.

The former is missing, while the latter is in the hands of Zhao Jiu of Jianyan Dynasty. Di Lie only has a homemade city lord seal in his hand. The jade is of good quality and is beautifully engraved. Unfortunately, he only has absolute effect in the army.

In the eyes of civil officials who value inheritance and destiny, the city lord's seal is similar to a stone, but although it is effective, it lacks prestige.

All Di Lie can do is to slowly accumulate his own prestige, so that the seal in his hand gradually reflects its due value. When this kind of prestige is overwhelming, even if it is an ordinary stone as a seal.

In the eyes of subjects, it also represents supreme majesty.

When all the civil and military officials left the main hall, one of them stood still. Di Lie looked closely and saw many missing Hou Fangjing.

Hou Fangjing, the chief financial officer, can be regarded as a veteran of Tianshu City, and is also Di Lie's first follower and a very qualified butler.

Di Lie laughed and said, "What? Old Hou, do you want me to treat you to a meal? That's fine, we haven't had a drink together for a long time."

Hou Fangjing felt warm and smiled and said, "It's rare that the city lord still cares about his subordinates... Speaking of which, the city lord should really ask his subordinates to scold him."

Di Lie was stunned and laughed: "Is that true? Unless you have a gift for me. Hahaha..."

Of course Di Lie was just a joke, but he didn't expect Hou Fangjing to be serious and politely said, "I am just giving you good gifts to the city lord."

Soon, a guard brought four old Confucian scholars with him, and the leader was holding a brocade box. Those who could be brought in by the guards were all checked and confirmed that there was no danger. Di Lie glanced at the Confucian scholars, and he looked familiar.

It seems to be a doctor who pacified the official school, a kind of metaphor, and it is said that it is a great scholar of Confucianism, the kind that is very famous among scholars. At this time, what you see from these people's faces is a surprise and indescribable

Excited.

The old scholar, who was the leader, respectfully placed the brocade box in front of the table, retreated aside with a solemn hand.

Di Lie stared at the old scholars and slowly opened the lid without moving. A simple and beautiful jade seal appeared in front of him. But when he saw this jade seal, the two sides could be seen, and the four sides could be at the edge of the middle cave and the horizontal hole was horizontal.

, sè Ze Rubi. Jade is good! It’s a pity to use it as a seal. This is what Di Lie thought when he first saw this thing.

Di Lie looked at Hou Fangjing, and the other party was nodding and smiling. Di Lie reached out and grabbed the Chikuen and flipped it over. The seal carved on it was like insects, birds, fish and dragons. Not to mention the reverse character, even if it is the correct character, it is Di Lie's level.

, and he couldn't recognize it. So Di Lie dipped the jade seal on the ink paste and covered it with a blank piece of paper on the table in front of him. Eight bright red seals of insects, birds, fish and dragons-shaped seals came into his eyes.

Di Lie frowned and said, "What kind of text is this? It's like a ghost drawing talisman. And I didn't let the jade craftsman create a new seal!"

The four old scholars said excitedly in unison: "This eight characters are 'Assigned to heaven, and you will live forever'!"

Di Lie looked confused and looked up in surprise and said, "What does it mean?"

Hou Fangjing and four old scholars knelt down together: "Lord Gongxi City! Lord Hexi City! I will meet the wise lord when I pass on the imperial seal!"

Di Lie suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the palm-sized jade seal in his hand in disbelief - is this the imperial jade seal? The legendary Heshi Bi?

The jade seal of the kingdom is said to have been the result of Qin Shihuang's destruction of Zhao, and the Heshi Bi was engraved into the national seal. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has been used as a symbol of the orthodox emperor's destiny in heaven. Who ascended the throne does not have this thing in hand?

Even if the status is legal, it will be questioned, and I feel embarrassed to meet others. For example, because Emperor Taizong of the early Tang Dynasty did not have a jade seal, he engraved several jade "seals" such as "received treasures" and "decided treasures" to masturbate. He went to Zhenguan.

In the fourth year, Li Jing led his army to attack the Turks. In the same year, Empress Xiao, the former empress who was hidden in the Turks, suddenly returned to the Central Plains with the emperor Zhengdao, and passed the imperial seal to the Li Tang Dynasty. Only then did the Li family's imperial throne become legitimate.

Unfortunately, this seal disappeared in the late Five Dynasties and the world was in chaos. Therefore, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there was no such seal in hand, so I had to make my own treasure. As the national seal, it engraved "Inheriting the happiness and blessings, and billions will never be as great as the one.

"The eight characters are Song Xi.

The regrets of the royal family of Zhao Song are also the regrets of the ministers and the people of the world. These many regrets have created a strange thing: in the fourth year of Shaosheng (1097), Duan Yi, a native of Xianyang County, was in Henan Township.

I dug the ground and got a treasure seal, which was as green as blue, and was warm and lush. I sent it to the capital in the first month of the following year. After being identified by Cai Jing and others, it was confirmed that it was a seal of Qin.

Therefore, the officials and ministers of the Song Dynasty celebrated each other, believing that the decree of heaven was born. Later, the imperial edicts were issued, and both seals were used together. Many historians later believed that this incident and the jade seal were mostly problematic. But at that time, who cares about this?

It's just an effect. As for whether it's true or not, who cares?

Thirty years after the "National Jade Seal" appeared again, the Jin Dynasty captured the two emperors Huizong and Qinzong, and the treasure seal was also captured by the Jin people. Among them, the Song seal was handed over to the pseudo-Chu that was supported by the Jin Kingdom, but then Zhang Bangchang also had the seal and the book.

All my life was handed over to Zhao Jiu.

However, during the transportation of the imperial jade seal, Di Lie, encountered Di Lie, an unprecedented super strong man. It was precisely because Di Lie plundered too much material that Hou Fangjing, as the chief financial officer, had not been able to completely clean up the jewelry and jade tools that could not be cashed out for the time being.

and calligraphy and painting. Until Taiyuan was captured, the central government moved westward, and most of the treasures needed to be transported from Tianshu City to Taiyuan as rewards, military expenses, or transactions with Xia Kingdom can be used.

.

And during this inventory, Hou Fangjing accidentally discovered that this strange seal mixed among countless treasures. Out of an instinctive awareness of the royal seal, Hou Fangjing took the seal from this seal to several erudites for those who were knowledgeable.

The old scholar appraised. As a result, the true face of the imperial jade seal emerged.

Hou Fangjing was stunned at that time. It turned out that he had a treasure in his hand but didn't know it! After being shocked, he was ecstatic - when Taiyuan started, the seal appeared on his own. Isn't this a hint in the dark of the sky?

Is the heaven's hint? Di Lie looked at the gentle and beautiful jade seal in his hand and gently touched a corner of the gold-infused one - legend is that this is the corner of Wang Mang who was angrily denounced by Empress Dowager Xiaoyuan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who was broken in anger.

Afterwards, Di Lie smiled. No matter whether the imperial seal is true or false, the political significance it represents is exactly what he needs to borrow at present. Therefore, this seal must be true!

Di Lie suddenly raised his hand, covered the jade seal on a blank space full of words, and smiled and said, "Let this proposal become the first order for the jade seal in Tianshu City to use it!"
Chapter completed!
