11. Tan Zhizhong is angry

"I only spent seven or eight days as the Minister of the Secretariat, and burned three fires on the land of Jingxiyingtian in the North Water Transportation in Daibei." Gao Yue said in response.

Tan Zhizhong sneered, pointed at Gao Yue, and pointed at himself, "It was all burned for you and me."

It turned out that after Dou Shen was the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he immediately took charge of the power of the Du Branch and the Ministry of Revenue and began to submit requests to the emperor: the Yingtianshe in Fengxiang, Xingyuan, Jingyuan and other places in the northwest made a lot of profits every year, but almost all of them belonged to Fangzhen, and the Yingtianshe was also appointed by the Jiedushi. However, the Yingtianshe was established with the support of the Du Branch Department. Now, "Two Tax Envoys" should be set up in Sanchuan in the northwest to inspect the Yingtianshe and taxes.

Dou Shen’s plan was that the three prime ministers now serve as the “two tax envoys” in one region.

Dong Jin was in charge of Heshuo, Ban Hong was in charge of Jianghuai and Jingnan, and he was in charge of Sanchuan and Jingxi. The so-called Sanchuan was Xichuan, Dongchuan and Shannan West Road (Xingyuan Jiabanan). The two tax envoys set up a patrol, which was specially inspected and verified the situation of camps and fields in these three major areas, and the supply and salt administration. Of course, if the prime minister also served as the two tax envoys, then he would not be able to stay in the patrol, and there would inevitably be someone acting on his behalf. This is the "Judge of the Two Tax Envoys". According to Dou Shen's idea, the Judge of the Two Tax Envoys was directly dispatched by the court and served as the Jung-in-Law of the Jiedu.

"If the judge of the two tax envoys entered Fengxiang and Xingyuan, camped fields, returned to Yi, stayed, brewed wine, pawnshop and other money in his eyes, then I, the Northwest Land, was like a minuscule, and the Shen Ce, Dingwu, and Yining army were also minuscule." Gao Yue did not shy away. He told Tan that Dou Shen's plan was to rob the financial power of the Northwest and Sanchuan.

"At that time, the Marquis of Li Ye and Mr. Lu discussed in front of the Holy Lord. Fang Zhenjun and Shence army divided the soldiers and the Shishi soldiers to specialize in the fields. One fifth of the food harvested belonged to the military palace, and one fifth was sold as a "health price" to the Changping warehouse under the jurisdiction of the Duzhi Department of the imperial court at an increase of one-fifth price to prepare for the rapid flood and drought in the capital and the local area. The other three-fifths were all given to the Shishi soldiers. It was precisely with this policy that the farming wars in the northwest and Sanchuan were revitalized, the army's equipment was elite, the burden of the national treasury was reduced, and the military's capital was also abundant in money and food. It was because of the advance, and the retreat could be attacked and defended. I think the Marquis of Ye was not dead yet. The dragon body of the Holy Lord was still healthy, so some people had ulterior motives and wanted to mess up the world." Tan Zhizhong said angrily.

At the school ground at the city below, the Shence Army and the Yining Army were testing artillery: Now under the leadership of Tan Zhizhong, the Shence Army has also begun to set up military weapon surveillance, investing in the casting of the tiger cannon that can shoot the divine thunder fire, and decoct a large number of divine thunder medicines.

With the rumbling sound of the tiger squatting, the two walked side by side, and mentioned another fire of Dou Shen, which was the establishment of the Northern Water Transportation Envoy.

Dou Shen asked the emperor to re-appoint Zhang Pang, who had been demoted by Han Huan, as the envoy. His main responsibility was to set up a water transportation patrol with Yanmen in the north of Dai. From Sangganhe River to purchase a large amount of grain from Heshuofang Towns with fertile land Youzhou, Hengzhou, Yizhou and other Heshuofang Towns, and strengthen the four armies of Hedong, Hezhong, Zhenwu and Tiande.

"This is Dou Shen who wants to seize military power." Gao Yue and Tan Zhizhong both knew this keenly.

This is true. Dou Shen contacted the frustrated Yuan Bining Jiedu governor Han Yougui, who was determined to let him take over the Tiande Army. Now, because the Tiande Army was in the Hetao area (Xi Sujiangcheng), there was no major war and friction with the Uighurs for many years, and the military was sluggish. The actual team was only 1,500. Dou Shen immediately requested to increase the number of troops to 7,000.

As for the Jiedushi of Zhenwu Army, Zhang Guangsheng, a war hero against the Uighurs, was quickly replaced by the capital because he refused to rely on Dou Shen, and replaced by Li Jingluo, a general from the Khitan tribe. Dou Shen also requested that the Zhenwu Army be increased to 12,000.

The Hedong Jiedushi Li Ziliang and Hun Yu in Hezhong did not dare to make a sound, which was equivalent to acquiescing Dou Shen's authority.

Han Tan, the governor of Xia Suiyin, was an old subordinate of Gao Yue Taishan Cui Ning. He had also written an urgent letter to Gao Yue to tell him that his position might be out of control. He heard that Dou Shen was preparing to reuse Du Xiquan, who had been captured by the Western Fan, to replace him and guard this place.

Not only that, Dou Shen also had to open routes and trade routes in the Yellow River in Zhenwu area. Zhang Pang, the former Northern Water Transport Author, was responsible for this route, requiring the Uighurs to trade and sell horses.

"This is to kill the water transportation trade between Jingyuan and Lingwu that I have opened up." Gao Yue judged, and he said to Tan Zhizhong, "Once Dou Shen controls these towns and has the army to rely on, he will really have to take action against the imperial capital patrol and supervise the next step."

Tan Zhizhong covered his mouth with a silk squid again, coughed violently several times, and said in a hoarse voice, "Yin Zhizhen has sent me a letter in the capital to inform me about this matter, and I'm afraid Dou Shen's ambitions are not so."

"Shenwei Army..." Gao Yue asked immediately.

Tan Zhi pointed at the head and whispered, "Now, Wang Xiqian, the Shenwei Army Supervisor, wrote a letter saying that Dou Shen wanted to give up Wang Qiyao, who was born in Zhenhai Army and Liu Chang, who was born in Xuanwu Army, to divide the Shenwei Army left and right wings."

"It's so arrogant. When the Holy anchor was relocated to Fengtian, if there were no eunuchs and officials who swear to follow him to the death and protect the holy master, how could the current situation of Zhongxing?" Gao Yue stood up for the powerful eunuchs in charge of Tan Zhizhong, Wang Xiqian, Yin Zhizhen and others. "At that time, the rebels besieged the city several times. Thanks to the eunuchs, the imperial guards were fighting hard, I, Wei Gao, and Duan Taiwei were serving the king, where was Dou Shen at that time?"

"Sanlang, you are right. We cannot wait for death. You are in Fengxiang, Xingyuan, and I am in Fengtian City. They are all working hard to raise money and grain to train soldiers for the Holy Lord. He is just the prime minister of the South Court, just take charge of his internal affairs. If you want to get involved in our forbidden body, there is no door." At this time, the two of them had already arrived at a group of crows flying cannons on the earth platform. Tan Zhi regained the ignition rod in the hand of the cannon, and blew the fire head with a puff, then burned the eighteen "fire crows" behind them and wrapped them into a bunch of twists.

Soon, the blue mist in front of Gao Yue jumped violently, and a divine thunder rocket shot out from the chute, passing over the head of the soldier who was training, shaking the strong wind on the ground platform, and swaying Gao Yue and Tan Zhizhong's long gowns.

Next, Tan Zhizhong turned around, his tone suddenly became loud, almost overwhelming the explosion of the crows flying cannons. "I spent a lot of money on every divine thunder medicine in this fire crow. Dou Shen wanted to take it away with a few documents, and he was delusional! Sanlang, I used to look at the law and the examples of the law. In this era, I looked at who can control the army, horse, money and food, the patrol army, the Shenwei army, and the Shenxing army outside, and I would not let the Dingwu army. Our northwest, the Sanchuan towns are the true loyalty and righteousness of respecting the emperor and expelling the barbarians. Dou Shen was backing the towns of Guandong, Jianghuai, and soon let him know what it means to be a tiger!"
