8. Ziqing presents three states

Linghu Zao said in a casual manner: "This is a critical situation of survival and death. The pressure from the Zaitang on us is extremely high, but fortunately, our Pinglu army's military has already been aligned with the neighboring Huaihai."

Speaking of this, Li Shigu nodded, and then took off the door's simple and powerful firearm from the Binglan. "This beezi gun is indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of our military craftsmen."

After saying that, he aimed the head of the gun at Linghu Zao. Linghu Zao didn't know if Li Shigu had loaded ammunition, but he knew that the bee gun was particularly suitable for the situation when it was fired, so he hurriedly dodged a few feet away from the left and stood at attention again.

The head of the Fengzi Gun has five or six tubes, which flashes with copper light. Each short tube is dragged with a twist, which can be ignited separately or connected together to ignite the same hair. There is a thick iron rod with six-cornered grinding angle in the middle, so that the musket can be clamped and used as a mace after it is put into use. Li Shigu is particularly fond of him. He often says that the military generals in the mansion say that Gao Yue was training in Huaihai, so I followed him to learn, but in fact, I don’t know that I have a small hand that is different from Gao Yue in secret.

In addition, Li Shigu also hired blacksmiths from Bohai and Silla to cast general artillery for him, and said that he had summarized the lessons that Li Qi was defeated by Gao Yue. Even if there were too few artillery, the Pinglu army would have to be transformed into firearms in the future, and would also engage in joint combat between infantry and artillery chariots and cavalry.

"As long as it can delay two to three years and the Pinglu army is reborn and is enough to be with Wuyi's army, I will not be afraid of the court." What Li Shigu needs urgently now is time.

The plan made by Linghu happened to be related to delays. "After the festival, you might as well take the lead in writing to Zaitang, saying that you are willing to offer the three states of Hai, Yi and Mi to the court to build a new Secretariat."

"You dare to ask me to sell earth!" Li Shigu was very angry, and moved the beezi gun at Linghu Zao, and Linghu quickly flashed back to its original position. "Don't worry, the sea, Yi, and Mi are the most barren, with mountains and water shortages, traffic congested, and few people (even the monks from Japan complained about underdevelopedness). To remove these three states, it is just a waste of money for our town. In addition, the festival said that they would hand over these three states to the adjacent Xu Siwu Ning army, independently build a province, and win over Zhang Pushe (Kanfeng). At the same time, the festival could set up Tangmutian in Dongdai, and also submitted a letter to the court, saying that they would exchange Dongdai, so that the Holy Lord and Prime Minister soldiers would get the Fengshan land without bloodshed, and they would be even more happy."

"..." Li Shigu felt something was right about Linghu Zao.

"And the family temple affairs that were reprimanded by the priest hall before, please condescend the lords of grandfather and great-grandfather, and temporarily move out the lords of grandfather and great-grandfather. In short, they all want to please the court. The court was free and the Dongdai was happy, and there was no reason to conquer us. At this time, the lords of the lords of Weibo Town, and we also offered the Xiangzhou and Weizhou on the west side, so that the court could incorporate them into the new Xingzhong Secretariat."

"Oh?" Li Shigu's eyes lit up.

Hai, Yi and Mi are dispensable for the Pinglu Army, but the Prime Minister is much more important to the Wei Bo Tianxiong Army. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is its gateway. Once the Prime Minister is gone, the court can continuously exit the army from the Taihang Fukou and Heyang lines, and go deep into the heart of the Daming Prefecture of Weizhou, which is almost impossible to defend, and then the Tian family will be in danger.

"In other words, Wei Bo will never submit."

"Of course, the Tian family will inevitably raise an army to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. If you provide help in this season, how can the Tian family not follow each other? And once the Lu army and the Tianxiong army are in alliance, I, Haiyi, don't have to give it up. With my plan, even if the court only wants our three states and does not ask Wei Bo for prime minister guards, then it is a good idea to sacrifice the three states in exchange for three years of military service promotion."

"Um..." Li Shigu nodded and agreed.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shigu made Linghu as his marching Sima, and drove to the newly built Jinzouyuan in Chang'an again. He then took the map of the three states and paid the money to the imperial court. He said that Li Shigu, Pinglu Army, was very worried and only the leader of the priests, was willing to offer the land within 50 miles of Dongdai. At the same time, Linghu made all kinds of flattery to the prime ministers, saying that as soon as the new policy of Zhenyuan was released, the local army from the towns, from the commander of the Jie and the people, were as good as the drought and rain. Since I, Ziqing, would I return the three states first, should Wei Bo have some expression?

The prime ministers of the court quickly gave suggestions for disposal:

Ziqing did a very right thing, and then Hai Yimi merged into Xu Siwu Ning Army to establish the "Huaibei Xingzhongshu Province". Zhang Jianfeng, the former Wuning Jiedushi and Xuzhou Governor Zhang, was appointed as the right servant of the Shangshu Province, and was dismissed from the governor of Xuzhou. The court sent officials to replace him. Since then, the powers of the governor of Pingzhang and the governor of the capital prefecture were divided;

The Wei Botian clan should also give up the two prefectures of the Prime Minister, which originally did not belong to him. The reason was that during the Anshi Rebellion, Xue Song deviated from Shi Chao and returned to the court, so he returned the four prefectures of the Prime Minister, Wei, Ming and Xing to the court. Now the court wants to return the property to the original owner again, and let the Prime Minister, Wei and Zheng and Huaizhou merge with the Yicheng army of the Yiyang army to establish a new "Hanoi Xingzhong Secretariat".

As soon as the hall was released, the next day, the fire broke out in the Wei Bo Jinzu Academy and Ziqing Jinzu Academy residences occurred in Yongxingfang.

Wei Bo Jinzou Academy was the first to be excited:

Fifty young soldiers who had just entered Chang'an to guard the residence from Daming Mansion, heard that Ziqing not only sold land to the court, but also dragged me into the water. Everyone was furious. The official Qiu Jiang stayed in the palace and shouted loudly to them: "Weibo is in danger. Today we will cut off the prime minister's guards and tomorrow we will cut off the Daming Mansion. The 100,000 soldiers will have no livelihoods. Today we will kill Pinglu Gou and kill Ziqing Fox (Zhuo Linghu)."

"Slay dogs and foxes!" When entering the residence of the Zuoyuan, the soldiers of Wei Bo shouted such slogans angrily, bit their fingers and wrote their last words of blood, and posted them on the residence newspaper. Then they picked up the oar knife, held up the muskets, put on iron armor, and set off from the old Zuo Jinwu Guard Hall where the residence was located, so that the scholars and officials who were used to being extravagant and weak in Chang'an City could see what the rich martial virtues came from Yannan Heshuo!

On the other side, the Ziqing guards of the diners who learned the news were not willing to be outdone. They all picked up new bee guns and dipped their blood on the diner or the walls of the diner and wrote the words "Swear to kill the Wei thieves and serve the ministers" and then set off from He'en Temple in the southwest corner of Yongxingfang.

The two sides ran into the crossroads. Without saying a word, they raised flags and lined up. They first used fire guns to make the smoke filled the gunpowder. Mars danced, and then they began to raise their swords and sticks. They fought in a mess, scaring the people of Yongxingfang to hide in the cellar, while the officials living there all crossed the wall to avoid them.

The Wannian County Magistrate Fei Chuan Cardinal Court. Jia Dan was shocked and rushed to send the talisman to dispatch the Imperial City Office and Shenwei Army to Yongxingfang to suppress the situation.

Several children of the Imperial City Office in the Yongxingfang patrol shop came out first and called for a ceasefire between the two sides. However, they were accidentally attacked by the Pinglu Army guards who had squinted in the smoke of gunfire. A group of bee guns flew over, and one was killed and one injured.

After the Shenwei Army entered the field and captured all the soldiers on both sides. The Jinzhaoyuan was closed, we found that there were more than a dozen corpses on the crossroads, most of which were fired and soldiers, and two were from innocent civilians.

Then everyone was escorted to Kyoto Prefecture, where Zaitang sent a specialist to conduct a trial in person.
