Chapter 1102: Return to Western Qin


By late February, news came from all military regions that the disarmament was complete.

According to the feedback, most of the dismissed soldiers, officers and generals had been properly resettled.

Zhao Ziliang breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the report.

Now that the disarmament has been completed and successfully completed, the matter of returning to Western Qin has also been put on Zhao Ziliang's agenda.

There is still one thing that worries Zhao Ziliang the most, and that is the tax reform, especially the water transportation and water transportation in the tax reform.

In the rectification of salt affairs, Liu Yan’s views on the two yamen and the industry The rectification was carried out in a drastic and vigorous manner.

Perhaps Liu Yan felt that the rectification of these two yamen and industries had reached the point of urgency.

Perhaps he felt that Zhao Ziliang would firmly support him, so he transported the canal without any scruples. and a large number of officials from the Yanwu Yamen.

Regarding this tax reform, Zhao Ziliang is not worried about what problems will occur while he is here.

What he is worried about is that someone will jump out after he leaves.

Li Kui, Li Xian, Yan Zhenqing and others are not people with strong personalities.

Their prestige and courage are not enough to respond and make decisions on certain things.

After thinking about it, Zhao Ziliang called Gao Shang and Xuan Shiba and said to Gao Shang: "There are people over there in Xinjing who are ready to make a move.

It will be impossible for me not to go back.

But here, I am worried about leaving.

Those in the cabinet are worried."

Individual talents are there, but their nature The king is really worried.

I have thought about it for a long time and want you to stay and take charge of the palace.

The people who stay are all led by you.

The most important thing now is to continue the tax system reform.

Never stop coming, I can only trust you here."

Gao Shang's face was serious, he cupped his hands and said: "I have received the great trust of your Majesty, and I will not hesitate even to the death."

"Okay" Zhao Ziliang nodded, looking more relaxed.

He asked Xuan Shiba again: "How is the rapid communication channel from Xinjing to Chang'an established?"

Xuan Shiba cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty.

I have sent people to establish message transfer stations in several big cities from Chang'an to Xinjing, namely Qinzhou, Jincheng, Liangzhou, Jinchang, Yizhou, and Tingzhou." , Broken Leaf City, all connected using flying pigeons network, every time a message is transmitted to one of the transfer stations, it will be transferred to the next transfer station as quickly as possible using another flying pigeon.

Judging from the current test situation, the fastest time to transfer a message from Chang'an to Xinjing is only Can be delivered within seven days There are several types of flying pigeons we train now, namely short-distance pigeons from 600 miles to 1,000 miles; medium-distance pigeons from 1,000 miles to 3,000 miles; long-distance pigeons from 3,000 miles to 6,000 miles; and ultra-long distances from 6,000 miles to 20,000 miles.

We have flying pigeons that can fly directly from Chang'an to Xinjing, but it takes more than twenty days.

If the weather is extremely bad in the coldest month of winter, it may take more than a month, because the flying pigeons need to forage and find places at night.

Overnight.

But if there are multiple transfer stations in the middle, If so, using a mixture of short-distance flying pigeons, mid-distance flying pigeons and long-distance flying pigeons can maximize the flying speed of flying pigeons, and at the same time, they do not need to find food and stay overnight by themselves.

For example, a flying pigeon only needs to fly from Chang'an to Qinzhou.

As long as it is full in the morning, it does not need to forage during the flight.

It only needs to rest once in the wild during the flight to fly to Liangzhou in one day.

It does not even need a day, and it can also fly from Liangzhou to Jinchang.

So, set up a transit The advantage of the station is that there is no need for flying pigeons to look for food and stay overnight, which saves a lot of time.

In other words, as long as anything happens in the Chang'an court, even in the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, when the weather is extremely bad, it only takes seven days to reach Xinjing.

If it is spring and autumn, it will only take four days at the fastest to send the news to Xinjing.

I have sent people to conduct many tests.

At present, this fast communication channel has been fully completed and is only waiting for the king's order.

Fully open” Zhao Ziliang was very satisfied with Xuan Shiba's completion of this matter so perfectly.

He asked again: "How about safety?"

Xuan Shiba said: "Your Majesty, there are three main issues to consider in terms of safety: First, flying pigeons may be attacked by large raptors during flight, such as eagles, falcons and other high-altitude overlords.

This possibility is not impossible, but it is possible The sex is extremely low.

This type of raptor mainly preys on ground animals and seldom bothers to attack flying birds.

Secondly, it is artificially shot.

Since we use transfer stations to transmit messages, each flying pigeon can only kill at most.

Need to fly one During the day, they don’t even need to rest during the flight, and the flying pigeon is very fast and basically does not hover in the sky.

Even the best shooter cannot shoot the flying pigeon in flight; third, the message is at the transit station Leakage, I have already considered this.

The message being transmitted is written in an encrypted way.

The person changing Fei Ge at the transfer station does not understand encryption.

Even if the content carried by Fei Ge is leaked, others will not be able to understand the content."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Very good, pass on the order.

From now on, this fast communication channel will be officially launched."

"Yes, Your Majesty" "Who is in charge of this matter in Xinjing?"

Xuan Shiba said: "It's Deputy Governor Sun Tingxiang" Sun Tingxiang is the deputy governor of Xichang and Xuan Shiba's deputy.

In Xichang, besides Xuan Shiba, Sun Tingxiang is the most powerful.

Zhao Ziliang immediately said: "Inform Sun Tingxiang of the king's will, and ask him to immediately report the latest court situation in Xinjing and the surrounding political situation in detail in the most concise words."

"I obey the decree" Nine days later, Xuan Shiba sent a piece of declassified information to Zhao Ziliang's desk.

Zhao Ziliang picked it up and read it over.

Although Gao Shi died of illness and Cen Shen became seriously ill in Xinjing, there was no other incident except for some turmoil in the court situation. , with Dugu Wensu in charge, there won’t be any big problems for the time being, but Dugu Wensu’s foundation in Western Qin Too shallow, many officials are not convinced by Dugu Wensu.

Without his clear support, Dugu Wensu would not be able to exert his influence.

Zhao Ziliang is not too worried about this.

He is worried about the recent excessive actions of the Dashi Kingdom in the border areas.

Frequent, and the movements were quite large, which violated his bottom line, and he had to return to Xinjing.

Zhao Ziliang called Gao Shang, Du Fu, Zheng San, Li Muchen, Li Mi and others and said, "I have decided to leave for Xinjing in ten days."

Li Mi cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, is it too hasty to return to Xinjing at this time?

Moreover, the tax reform has not yet stabilized.

I am worried that once Your Majesty leaves, I and others will not be able to cope with various complex situations."

Zhao Ziliang said: "Recently, the Dashi Kingdom has repeatedly provoked on the border.

The actions are frequent and too large.

I am worried that a war will break out if the two sides have friction.

Once a war breaks out, after all, it will be a battlefield between countries.

The scale is so large that I am afraid that a war will break out."

It’s not the West Qin courtiers who can make the decision and respond.

You don’t have to worry.

I asked Gao Shang to stay and take full charge of the regent’s palace. , you all, let him take the lead.

Now the power to handle the military affairs of the court lies with the Regent's Palace, and the specific personnel appointments and dismissals are also in the Prince Regent's Palace.

Feel free to do it.

If you can't decide anything, put it off first and report it to me in a timely manner.

The king reports that after the king makes a decision, he will immediately pass the decision over.

Every specific decision of the king will be jointly announced to you by Gao Shang and Xuan Shiba."

Everyone said: "Yes" On March 15th, Zhao Ziliang presided over the last court meeting.

At the court meeting, he expressed his firm support for all measures taken by Liu Yan in tax system reform.

The court and local yamen must cooperate unconditionally.

Anyone who shirks the responsibility will cause trouble.

He also announced that court officials they announced He is about to return to Western Qin.

After his departure, the Regent's Palace will be supported by Gao Shang, and Du Fu, Li Muchen, Li Mi and others will be responsible for assisting.

Major military and political affairs of the court will still be decided by the Regent's Palace.

At the same time, he also suggested to the emperor that he should make King Li Hui of Han the crown prince.

Daizong had no choice but to agree.

On March 18, the eighth year of the reign of the Han Dynasty (the fifth year of Dali's reign), Zhao Ziliang led the escort army, the Xuanfeng Army, the Huya Army, and the queen, concubine, and princes back to the Western Qin Dynasty.

Zheng San, Gao Xiuyan, Zhang Shouyu and others accompanied him.

Emperor Daizong, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of people saw him off outside the city, and they did not stop until they were thirty miles away.

Zhao Ziliang's departure made some people breathe a sigh of relief.

It was really because Zhao Ziliang put too much pressure on them here.

But even if Zhao Ziliang left, these people still couldn't do anything.

The relevant yamen of the imperial court were keeping a close eye on them. .

In order to rush back to Xinjing as soon as possible, Zhao Ziliang had to leave the escort to protect Queen Chen Qingying, Princess Nie Sanniang, and the princes.

He led the Selection Front Army and Huya Army to speed up and rush back to Xinjing first.

Along the way, Zhao Ziliang felt like returning home.

He had regarded Xi Qin as his home and foundation.

Xi Qin was already his hometown.

Even though he had been staying in Chang'an for the past few years, he always regarded Xi Qin as his support.

He thought to himself Even if he can no longer work in Chang'an, he will return to Western Qin.

This is his retreat, so he will not allow any changes or instability in Western Qin.

Zhao Ziliang led the Xuanfeng Army and Huya Army to march more than 200 miles every day.

It only took a month to return to Xinjing, with basically no rest on the way.

The queen and the princesses still needed a month to return. arrival.

Zhao Ziliang's return made Xinjing excited again.

The people were very sensitive to the changes in the court situation in the past few months.

They felt that there were considerable fluctuations in the market after Gao Shi died of illness and Cen Shen became seriously ill.

This made Xinjing agitated.

They were more worried.

After all, Zhao Ziliang was not here, but as the chief The prime minister, Cen Shen, was seriously ill again, and the political situation was really stretched to rely on a basic eunuch, Dugu Wensu, to support him.

Now that Zhao Ziliang has returned, not only the courtiers feel relieved, but also those who are ambitious have to suppress the turmoil in their hearts, and even the common people They all spontaneously went to the road outside the city to greet him.

At the same time, the news of Zhao Ziliang's return was quietly passed back from Xinjing by the agents of the Great Food Country and the Eastern Roman Empire
