Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    ??????????????????? Former Long¡¯an Mansion Office, temporary auxiliary courtyard of Xizhenwu Palace, Du Guan Jing Zhimo is carefully reading the latest battle report delivered.  The battle report came from Ye Xueguan and was personally signed by Yuan Yangbin, the temporary war commander in charge of Xuanwei Sidaomen affairs in western Sichuan.

    Seven days ago, the Ming army mobilized Xiaoshan Guard, Loushan Guard, Baima Qianhusuo, Yulong Qianhusuo, Diexi Qianhusuo and other armies, totaling more than 17,000 people, to attack the Erdaoliang Army Village in Baima Mountain.  After a day and night of desperate struggle, we finally achieved a great victory.  At this point, all the peripheral forts set up by the Xia army at the foot of Baima Mountain were captured by the Ming army. Baima Mountain was exposed to the Ming army's crossbows, and the war situation entered a new stage.

    The Wartime Affairs Promotion Office of Daomen West Sichuan Xuanwei Department believes that since the outbreak of the war, after three years of hard fighting, the Ming army has gradually gained the initiative in the war and demonstrated greater advantages in all aspects. I believe that in one to two years  In the next year, they will surely retake Baima Mountain and their homeland two hundred miles to the west, and push the front back to the Minshan area.

    However, the Promotion Office also summarized the problems exposed in the recent stage and identified many shortcomings that need to be solved urgently. For example, after three years of long-term combat, soldiers in the Ming Dynasty generally suffered from war-weariness such as homesickness, confusion, and low morale. Some soldiers  There were even a few deserters and other bad situations.

    ??Another example is that in the long-term confrontation between Taoism and Buddhism, Taoism monks, especially middle and low-level monks, suffered greater losses and found it increasingly difficult to defend the Ming army in battle.

    In addition, the consumption of talismans, elixirs, and magical instruments has also far exceeded expectations. The above-mentioned materials stored in Jinshan Guard and Ye Xueguan have almost bottomed out, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the upcoming battle for the main mountain range of Baima Mountain.

    Based on the above difficulties, the Daomen Western Sichuan Xuanwei Department Wartime Affairs Promotion Office and the Governor-General Western Sichuan Military Affairs Yamen have reached a consensus that the battle for the main mountain of Baima Mountain will have to be postponed.

    In the second half of the battle report, the Promotion Office made clear requirements for the Taoist palaces in Sichuan. First, all prefectures, county Taoist palaces, and Taoist temples should immediately dispatch Taoist priests who are familiar with scriptures and have firm beliefs and rush to western Sichuan to fill various health centers.  He served as a supervisor and missionary to eliminate the war-weariness caused by the death of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, boost morale and restore fighting spirit.  The second is to break the tradition of Huang Guan and below not being born and walking, and order all the Taoist temples and various sects to send low- and middle-level monks to Ye Xueguan to obey orders and protect the Ming army in battle.  The third is to urge the Taoist temples of various prefectures and the casual cultivators of various schools and sects to prepare as many talismans, elixirs, magical instruments, etc. as possible for military use.  The fourth is to propose Xuanyuan Guan, which can authorize each Taoist palace to expand the number of Taoist priests who receive ultimatums to prepare for the manpower needs of Taoist sects in the ten directions of the jungle.  Fifth, all prefectures, county palaces, and Taoist temples are required to work closely with prefecture and county governments to ensure local stability.

    At the same time, the Promotion Office has also written about Shaanxi Yansheng Temple, Hubei Changchun Temple, and Guizhou Xianren Temple, urging the Taoist sects of the three provinces to do their best to support the Baima Mountain War.

    The first, fourth and fifth of them all involve the affairs of the West Zhenwu Palace. As the successor that Zhang Yunzhao of the Supervisory Academy has worked hard to cultivate, Jing Zhimo must carefully figure out the clues and formulate a plan for the West Zhenwu Palace.  After Zhang Yunzhao's visa is postponed, he will be allowed to pass through the four counties of the prefecture.

    Jing Zhimo has been deeply influenced by his family since he was a child. His knowledge, talents, and skills are all excellent. He has also experienced many years of training in general affairs. After careful consideration, he had an idea and wrote it down in an instant.

    After drying the ink stains, weighing it several times and making minor adjustments to some of the plans, Jing Zhimo put away the documents and prepared to see Zhang Yunzhao.  At this time, a layman from Dian Zaofang, a fire worker, came to convey a message that Zhang Jianyuan had summoned the three capitals to discuss matters, and Jing Zhimo was asked to meet in the main hall immediately.

    When Jing Zhimo rushed to the main hall with the paperwork, he saw that Zhang Yunzhao, the supervisor, Bai Tengming, and the chef Liao Tengqiao were already there, so he also found a chair to sit down.  After a while, Zhong Tenghong, who was patrolling the area and also responsible for building the building, also entered the main hall with pen, ink, paper and inkstone. He sat down in front of the desk, spread the paper and polished it. He held the pen in his hand and looked at Zhang Yunzhao.

    Zhang Yunzhao coughed lightly: "Let's get started." He paused, glanced at Sandu, and said: "Yesterday, the secret letter from Guyang County Wuji Academy arrived. It talks about the beginning and end of the recent surge in rice prices. The letter is very long, so I won't  I recounted them one by one, mainly talking about a few things in my mind. First, the price of rice in Guyang County has dropped by 30 taels per bucket; second, the Wujiyuan Charity Fund has lent more than 58,700 taels to farmers.  There are 3,900 households, of which more than 50,000 taels are used for turnover of young crops money; thirdly, major households in Guyang County have opened warehouses to sell grain ten days ago. Wujiyuan said that the interest of some large households on re-lending young crops money has also increased from 2 cents.  However, these households also requested to 'contract' wasteland, several of which involved Shiquan County and Jiangyou County. Magistrate Kong County of Guyang County agreed with this matter, but Shiquan and Jiangyou may have some troubles and need to travel from the west.  Zhenwu Palace and the government office will negotiate with the two counties."

    After saying that, Zhang Yunzhao took a few sips of the tea cup and gave Sandu time to think. Zhong Tenghong, who was next to him, wrote down Zhang Yunzhao's original words with flying pen.

    After drinking a cup of tea, Zhang Yunzhao continued: "These few things illustrate a problem.?If you want to do it and are willing to do it, no matter how difficult the problem is, you can solve it.  The price of rice has fallen, people in Guyang County are stable, major households are willing to open warehouses to sell grain, and people also have money to tide over the shortage. This not only solves the problem of this year's drought, but also successfully completes the innovation of young crop loan, restoring the establishment of green crop warehouses.  As it should be, this is a great thing and a blessing for our Long'an Mansion.  A few days ago, when I went to visit Xuanyuan Guan Li Supervisor, he told me that if the money for young crops is not changed, the land annexation cannot be delayed, and the people's lives will become more and more difficult. This problem has always been a problem in his throat.  Now that the Wuji Academy has sent good news, I am going to write a letter immediately and inform the Li Supervisory Academy. I believe that Senior Brother Li will be extremely pleased. I, Zhang Yunzhao, can be considered as living up to the trust of Senior Brother Li.  "

    Zhang Yunzhao is the most powerful supervisor in Xizhenwu Palace in the past hundred years. Generally speaking, if he starts a discussion with a lengthy discussion, it means that his mind has been made up, and no matter what he wants to do next, only others can do it.  For those who agree, except for slight modifications and additions at the ends of the branches and leaves, it is best not to have any objections to major decisions, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable.  Therefore, Jing Zhimo, Bai Tengming, Liao Tengqiao, etc. all present here already know that this time Zhang Supervisor is determined to promote the "Guyang County Experience".

    Sure enough, Zhang Yunzhao did not give others a chance to object, and said directly: "The youth money reform in Guyang County has just begun, and the results are remarkable. I have made up my mind to push this matter to the whole government. Everyone is aware of Guyang County's policies and measures.  It¡¯s all clear, now everyone is here to review the details and see if there is anything that needs to be added or adjusted?¡±

    Bai Tengming said: "The relevant strategies in Guyang County are all mature, and they are divided, drawn together, and suppressed. They are all done well. I think they can be implemented immediately. However, I am afraid that it is too radical to suddenly extend it to the whole government.  Pingwu County is a prefectural city. After all, the wealthy gentry is different from the three counties of Guyang, Jiangyou and Shiquan. The relationships are complicated and the connections are wide. There are many members of the clan who have connections with Chengdu and even the capital. In order to make this matter go smoothly, could I please  Now Shiquan and Jiangyou are implementing it? Didn't the letter from Wujiyuan say that some enlightened big households in Guyang County want to 'contract' the land involving Shiquan and Jiangyou? We can use this as a guide and follow the trend. After the other three counties are secure,  Then solve Pingwu¡¯s problem.¡±

    Liao Tengqiao nodded: "This is a mature statement."

    Zhang Yunzhao praised: "What Bai Du said is reasonable, and I deeply agree." After saying that, he turned his eyes to the scenery again.

    Jing Zhimo did not dare to have objections, so he naturally nodded in support, and the plan was finalized.

    Zhang Yunzhao said: "The letter from Wuji Yuan said that it can convene the officials of all county Taoist yuan and county government offices in Guyang County to discuss the matter, observe the process of distributing charity funds, listen to the detailed introduction of Guyang County's various strategies, and discuss  The difficulties in the reform of youth money in each county were asked on the spot and solved on the spot, so as to agree on the steps for reform in each county. The venue was set at the charity hall. Wujiyuan called it an "on-site office meeting". I thought it was feasible and the time was set for seven days.  What do you think?"

    The three capitals all nodded in agreement, so Zhang Yunzhao ordered Zhong Tenghong, who was taking notes on the side, to draft an official document on the spot and send it to the government office and the Taoist Academy of Pingwu, Jiangyou, Shiquan and Guyang counties.

    A major policy was unanimously approved by the three capitals under Zhang Yunzhao's resolute iron fist. Zhang Yunzhao was in a good mood, drinking tea with a smile and looking at Jingzhi Mo.  He had become increasingly exhausted in the past two years, and now he secretly began to make plans in his mind, thinking about how to push Jing Zhimo to the forefront during this change, so as to successfully complete the smooth transition of power in the West Zhenwu Palace.
