Chapter 1011 Only listen to the order but not the announcement
Zhang Zhenzhou went down the river from Jiangling and was smooth sailing on the Jingjiang River. After a few days, he arrived in Hanyang.
Zhang pretended to attack Lin Shihong, Jiangxi, and entered Hanyang for a temporary supplement. After tricking him into opening the city gate, he immediately took down Lei Changying and Hanyang City.
The son outside Lei Changying City led his troops to flee to Hankou on the other side of the Han River. As a result, the Qin army in Hankou, who was supposed to accept them, tied them up and sent them across the river to Zhang Zhenzhou in Hanyang City. The troops who followed him across the river were taken in by the Qin army.
The Hankou general sent a letter to Zhang Zhenzhou, saying that Lei Changying's rebellion was a domestic affairs of Liang and that Daqin did not interfere.
Zhang Zhenzhou ordered people to kill Lei Changying and his son, and then turned a blind eye to the Qin army's thousands of Lei troops' rebels. The two families still maintained the situation of water in the wells and waters not violating the rivers.
Even a few days later, the Qin general of Hankou, Zhai Mohou, asked Zhang Zhenzhou to board a ship on the Han River to meet, reiterating the relationship between the two vassal families.
"Everyone was able to kill the thieves who were fickle and unfaithful to Lei Changying, but now that the thieves have been killed, the Jianghan will return to peace and no longer be in chaos."
Zhang Zhenzhou was also a Sui general. In his early years, he followed Zhu Kuan to Liuhui Island and passed by an island, which named it Gaohua Island.
This island is the Diaoyu Island in later generations.
When the Sui Yu Cavalry Commander Zhu Kuan went to the sea to seek a foreign custom, but when he arrived at Liuqiu, he could not speak. Later, he arrested several people and returned. The next year, Zhu Kuan was ordered to surrender again, but Liuqiu refused to obey. So he sent the Hu Ben Lang General Chen Ling and the Chao to ask the doctor Zhang Zhenzhou to send 10,000 troops from Dongyang to attack Liuqiu's country.
Chen Ling brought the Kunlun people who knew Liu Qiu's words and recruited them again. As a result, Liu Qiu still refused. So Zhang Zhenzhou attacked Liu Qiuren for the vanguard, won several battles, and killed Liu Qiu Xiaowang. After that, he attacked Liu Qiu's capital, killed Lao Wang, captured his son, destroyed his palace, and captured tens of men and women. Because of this military achievements, Zhang Zhenzhou was promoted from a fifth-rank scattered official to a third-rank Jinzi Guanglu doctor.
Zhang Zhenzhou, who was born in Huainan, was a good player in the water battle. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, he led his army to attack Xiao Xian, but he was defeated and captured even if there were few soldiers. Later, he simply surrendered to Xiao Xian.
Zhang Zhenzhou sat on the boat, looking at the left and right without anyone else, and said, "I just wondered, why do you abandon Lei Changying?"
This time he came to quell the rebellion, because King Xiao Xian of Liang received the imperial edict from the Emperor of Qin. Only then did he know that Lei Changying was going to rebel and surrender to Qin, so Zhang Zhenzhou led the troops to quell the rebellion.
"It's the thief of Lei Changying." said Zhai Mohou.
But this reply could not satisfy Zhang Zhenzhou. "As far as I know, it is not only Lei Changying who wants to join Qin. Zhou Faming, who is stationed in Jiangxia, is also trying to surrender to Qin, but you have not abandoned him."
"Zhou Faming is the younger brother of Zhou Fashang. Zhou Fashang followed my emperor to conquer Goguryeo several times, and made great contributions and was full of incense."
"Your people went south and moved around, but now why did you abandon Lei Changying and refuse to accept Zhou Faming and the others' return to Qin?"
"General Zhang, you are also a wise man. There is no need to explain some things too clearly. The situation is a bit chaotic. The Emperor is not willing to fight with the Three Feudalists at this time. As long as you can keep your order, you will turn a blind eye to some small actions. Of course, this does not mean that we are afraid of war. If you really make a big fuss, you can only start a fight. I believe that if you really fight, the final winner will be my Daqin. But this will only cause trouble for the people."
Zhang Zhenzhou was quite satisfied with this reply. In fact, the current Western Liang Dynasty was actually in chaos, and no one could see a future. Xiao Xian had long removed the emperor's title and changed his name to become king and surrendered to the Qin Dynasty. But everyone knew that sooner or later, when the Qin Dynasty freed up its power, it would be the day to reduce the vassals.
But neither Xiao Yu nor Lin Shihong or Shen Faxing, the Three Feudalists did not have the courage to fight against the Qin army.
He couldn't beat him, and he was not willing to join Chang'an and surrender, so he buried his head and became a vassal king for one day.
This time, if Lei Changying and Zhou Faming really wanted to surrender to Qin, Xiao Xian might not dare to make trouble. However, the Emperor of Qin issued a secret edict saying that he would not interfere in Liang's internal affairs and asked them to clean up their own doors. Only then did Xiao Xian dare to send troops to quell the rebellion.
Zhang Zhenzhou felt that sooner or later, Xiao Xian would probably be summoned to the court like Xiao Cong, and this small court would be eliminated and destroyed.
As a Sui general who later surrendered to the Western Liang Dynasty, Zhang Zhenzhou naturally had no loyalty to Xiao Xian. He was just in Cao's camp, but if the Qin army really attacked the small court of Jiangling, Zhang Zhenzhou would definitely not resist surrender.
Of course, there will definitely be people in the Jiangling small court. Perhaps because of this, the Qin Dynasty has not attacked Jiangling, but it is not yet prepared.
"General Zhang came to suppress the rebellion from the east this time, so he stayed in Hanyang for the time being, wouldn't he leave?" Zhai Mohou asked. He was Zhai Rang's nephew. Before the Emperor of Qin had made his fortune, he had a good relationship with Luo Cheng with his uncle. With this relationship, although Zhai Mohou had no great achievements, he is now the Prime Minister of Anlu County and is in charge of the soldiers of a county.
"Well, Your Majesty has appointed me as the prefect of Mianyang County."
Originally, after Xiao Xian and Jiangling became emperor, the prefecture and county system was restored in Jianghan. However, after he was the Qin Dynasty, the small court in Jiangling was classified as Hunan Road, and only half of the Nanjun and half of Mianyang County were left north of the Yangtze River. Most of the remaining territory was in the Yangtze River and Dongting Hunan.
Xiao Xian respected Luoyang's orders and changed it to a county system, controlling the remaining eleven counties.
"Zhou Faming, the prefect of Jiangxia, will not be transferred, right?"
"Yeah, not for the time being."
Jiangxia and Mianyang County, one in the south and the other in the north, are both located at the mouth of the Han River, and are also close to Huainan and Jiangxi. It can be said that this is a very important strategic area.
Xiao Xian should have known that Zhou Faming was not reliable at this time, but he did not touch Zhou Faming to know that Xiao Xian has no ambition now and is really harsh.
"It's good that our three cities in Hankou, Hanyang, Jiangxia can be good neighbors in the future."
The three cities are all near the Yangtze River and are very close to each other.
"Well, you have to get closer in the future." Zhang Zhenzhou also said immediately.
The two of them laughed, but they couldn't figure it out.
He can hold a county and command these soldiers and population. When the Qin Dynasty wants to reduce the vassals in the future, this is the capital of Zhang Zhenzhou and others. Of course, this is not the capital of fighting against the Qin court, but only their capital of becoming officials in Qin.
"If you have anything to do in the future, just say hello." Zhang Zhenzhou said politely to the Anlu County Magistrate Zhai Mohou. Although when he was promoted to the third-rank Jin Zi Guanglu Dafu, Zhai Mohou was just a powerful young man in Guandong, and his uncle was just a sixth-rank official in the Dongjun Dharma Cathedral, but now it is different from the past. The three counties in Anlu, Mianyang and Jiangxia will inevitably be centered on Anlu County.
