Peerless Pirates

Chapter 453 Secret of the Dark Eagle

After hearing Huang Song finish talking about the dispute with Song Zheng, Huang Yuandu snorted heavily, "Speaking of which, the only conflict between you and Song Zheng that can be determined is the one at the Five Dragon Pond (Latest Chapter of Urban Master)

!Or for a pot of chrysanthemums! Isn’t that true?”

Huang Song stiffened and said helplessly, "That's true!"

Huang Yuandu opened Huang Song's hand and said angrily, "Just for this one thing, do you want to mobilize two groups of secret eagles from Huainan East Road and Jiangning to hunt down Song Zheng? If you succeed, you actually missed it.

!It really disappoints me.

Don't think that I don't know. That person deliberately told you Song Zheng's trip to Jiangning just to let Dark Eagle come forward and avenge his nephew. You were really obedient and obediently sent someone to kill Song Zheng. It's really good.

Ah! I gave the Dark Eagle to you, is this how you use it?"

"Song Zheng is the Imperial City Secretary, and he will be a serious problem for us sooner or later."

"You still dare to argue!" Huang Yuandu was furious.

"Don't you dare!" Huang Song hurriedly knelt down.

Huang Yuandu stared at Huang Song, and after a while he breathed out, "I let you control Dark Eagle, how could you act so casually! You should know how difficult it is for me to found and maintain Dark Eagle!"

Huang Yuandu wiped his beard and said slowly, "As early as the time of Emperor Gaozong, Pang Hui was very powerful and had great military power. Once he rebelled, there would be great disasters. It is known throughout the world that Emperor Gaozong loved his younger brother Pang Hui and condoned his arrest.

Quan. But he didn’t know that Gaozong was against Pang

Pang Hui is not completely defenseless. The founding of Dark Eagle was tacitly approved by the late emperor. The purpose was to establish an intelligence system in addition to the Imperial City Division, so as to prevent the world's eyes and ears from being controlled by Pang Hui (the latest chapter of the online game Hero World)

.”

Huang Song was shocked. He did not expect that Dark Eagle was actually related to Emperor Gaozong.

Huang Yuandu continued, "At the beginning, I asked Lu Junqing to recruit people and imitate the Imperial City Department's Foreign Affairs Department to create Dark Eagle, in order to monitor the movements of civil and military officials in various places and compete with the Imperial City Department. However, although the late emperor acquiesced in the existence of Dark Eagle, he did not

Agree to incorporate Dark Eagle into the imperial court system. On the one hand, it stimulates Pang Hui, and on the other hand, it is also because of the opposition of Han Zhong and other military forces."

"Han Zhong?" Huang Song raised his head. He didn't know why the military was involved again.

"That's right. I'm afraid you didn't expect this." Huang Yuandu said, "The establishment of Dark Eagle is actually just one end of the North-South struggle and military and political disputes. Alas, it turns out that I never thought of telling you this. Today, Song Xiaolang is here

I will explain it to you carefully."

"At that time when Taizu was crossing to the south, most of his generals were from the north. There is a reason for this. The previous Song Dynasty had been in confrontation with the foreign tribes in the north, such as the Liao, Jin and Xixia. Therefore, the roads north of the Yangtze River

,civil

They were all good at fighting, and because of this, famous generals emerged in large numbers. South of the Yangtze River, there was no war, and life was comfortable, so the people were rich and well-educated. Especially when the Jin people invaded the south, wars continued all the way north of the Yangtze River, and many famous generals were produced."

Huang Yuandu leaned back and continued, "At the beginning of the founding of the Qi Dynasty, although Taizu had many soldiers and generals, he was short of military supplies. Therefore, after Taizu crossed the river, he summoned all the major officials in the south of the Yangtze River to discuss and raise military supplies.

People in the south of the Yangtze River naturally know that if the Jin people attack the Yangtze River, there will also be disasters in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ling Tuan Tan, so he hit it off with Taizu, raised a large amount of military resources to support Taizu, and at the same time recruited many people to join the army. Because of this, we, Da Qi, can withstand the joint invasion of Jin and Xixia. Even so, north of the Yellow River,

As for the land in Guanzhong, it is still occupied by foreigners."

Huang Yuandu sighed, as if he couldn't bear to lament this. "The reason why Taizu established Jiangning as the capital is also related to the situation at that time. According to Taizu's original intention, he wanted to build the capital in Bianliang, Tokyo, the capital of the previous dynasty, but Tokyo is close to the Yellow River

, and was plundered by the Jin people several times, so that his vitality was severely damaged. Unable to do so, Taizu designated Jiangning, the former capital of the Six Dynasties. Jiangning

Everyone, you are also willing to build the capital south of the Yangtze River and support Taizu in rebuilding Jiangning. For war defense considerations, Taizu moved Jiangning more than ten miles south, using mountains such as Yuhuatai and Jiangjun Mountain as peripheral support (Save the Fierce Lady).

Read the full text of the mission). In this case, even if the Jin people drink their horses from the Yangtze River, they will not be able to easily capture the new capital city."

"Due to the war, some big families from the north of the Yangtze River also moved to the south of the Yangtze River, which made the talents from the south of the Yangtze River more powerful. Taizu also had the support of everyone in the south of the Yangtze River, so he appointed a large number of southerners as officials. After the territory of Daqi was stabilized, it basically formed

Taking control of the army from the north,

The situation in which the southerners were in charge of government. In addition to the establishment of the capital Jiangning, the government system of this dynasty was also set up due to this situation. It not only learned from the previous dynasty, the Song Dynasty, but also adopted the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Taiwei Mansion was used to control the army and the prime minister was used.

In charge of the government, there is also a censor to supervise the affairs of the court. This is generally the case."

"Except for Taizu's dynasty, when the prime ministers and assistants were Northerners, all the prime ministers and assistants since Emperor Taizong were Southerners. The same is true for our Huang family. As for the military, Han Zhong and a group of other Northerner veterans firmly control the military. Northerners

In charge of the army, there is no fear that the southerners will lose control. The southerners are in charge of the government and run the country. This was caused by the situation at that time. Today, although there is no clear distinction between southerners and northerners, the north of the Yangtze River has gradually recovered its vitality, but

The general situation is correct."

"In the early decades of the Qi Dynasty, because Taizu and Taizong were both battle-hardened and conquered the world with their two fists, they were extremely authoritative. People from the south and the north cooperated well, and the Qi Dynasty also prospered. However, Taizu

and Taizong both fought in the war

He was injured, and his reign was not too long. Taizu reigned for eighteen years, and Taizong reigned for twenty-one years. During these more than thirty years, the gap between the north and the south was not bridged. In fact, by the late Taizong period,

The contradiction between the military and the government became apparent."

"The army is huge. In addition to the border troops, each state has a large number of garrison camps. If wars continue, maintaining a huge army will be reasonable. However, after Daqi is stabilized, there will be no need to support so many sergeants. With Daqi

Even the national strength cannot support so many troops.

Nearly half of the annual taxes went to the military. Therefore, both the government and the opposition called for disarmament, which naturally led to strong opposition from the military. The political upsurge in Taizong's nineteenth year originated from this. In the end, although Taizong suppressed

After this court battle, we are still helpless."

Huang Yuandu raised his head and looked at the dancing candlelight, as if this ball of fire had a scene from that year.

Huang Song was also a person who was familiar with history. He knew that during the political upheaval that year, his father was a science explorer and had just entered the Hanlin Academy. His father took the lead in writing a letter, using fierce words to criticize the current ills, and thus became famous (Xiao

Read the full text of the dream). However, the final result

It was his father who was demoted and sent to a poor county on Guangnan East Road and West Road to be the bookkeeper. If he hadn't married Huang Yue's mother and gained the support of the Bao family, it would have been difficult for his father to return to Jiangning two years later.

It happened when my father returned to Jiangning and served as the Shaoyin of Jiangning Mansion.

"Actually, both southerners and northerners are from Daqi, and there shouldn't be any difference. After Gaozong came to the throne, he also realized this and tried to eliminate this disadvantage. On the one hand, he intended to promote northern officials, and on the other hand, he intended to promote northern officials.

They also tried to reduce the power of the military. However, Gaozong's prestige could not be compared with that of Taizu Taizong.

On a par with that, in the face of Han Zhong and other important ministers who fought with the late emperor to conquer the world, Gaozong could not easily attack. Otherwise, if he is not careful, it will easily cause strong military turmoil and even disaster. We have strong enemies outside Daqi.

If the military is in chaos, the foundation will be shaken, and Emperor Gaozong will have to be cautious."

Huang Song interjected in confusion, "In the previous dynasty, Taizu of the Song Dynasty had a saying of 'a cup of wine releases military power'. Why didn't Taizu and Taizong of this dynasty follow suit?"

Huang Yuandu shook his head and said, "You haven't read the history thoroughly. Although Zhao Kuangyin gained military power, it also made the Song Dynasty weak for more than a hundred years. The territory of the Song Dynasty was greater than that of the Qi Dynasty, and its national power was also extremely rich. However, the Song Dynasty was incompetent with Xixia and Liao Dynasty.

In wars between countries, it is difficult to win. They have to rely on paying huge amounts of annual coins to foreigners to maintain territorial stability. Tracing back to the source,

This was the disaster left by this cup of wine to relieve military power. How could Taizu and Taizong of this dynasty be so talented and strategist, how could they not have thought of this. Besides, although the territory was demarcated with Jin Xixia and even Shu at that time, there were foreign races from time to time.

When the news of knocking the pass spreads, how can you easily reduce the number of sergeants and take away the military power of important generals? Isn't that cutting off one's own arms?"

Huang Song nodded, looking like he was willing to be taught.

Seeing Huang Song still kneeling, Huang Yuandu waved his hand, "Get up, sit aside and listen carefully. Now I will tell you about the Imperial City Division and Dark Eagle."

Huang Yuandu took a sip of tea and said, "Gaozong was cautious and tried to reduce the power of the military for many years. Although the results were effective, they were not significant. Gaozong had to turn to other methods, and acquiescing to the establishment of Dark Eagle was one of them. You

You know, when Taizu established the Imperial City Division, the Internal Division also

That is to say, the Forbidden Army is in the Ming Dynasty, while the Foreign Division is in the dark. The Imperial City Division has always been headed by members of the royal family. However, the generals of the Forbidden Army and even the important officials of the Foreign Division were originally from the military, and a consistent tradition has been formed. Only

In this way, the royal family and the military can control and monitor the officials of the world (bloody

Read the full text of The Theory of Evolution of the Clan Queen). After the conflicts between the military and the government intensified, the Imperial City's Foreign Affairs Bureau became a tool for the military to deal with officials, which deceived Shengting to a great extent. After Pang Hui became the governor of the capital, the situation became even more serious.

In this case, I tried to figure out what was better for me and talked with Jiang

After everyone in the south of the Yangtze River discussed it, we needed to establish an intelligence system parallel to the Imperial City Department and the Foreign Affairs Department, and named it Dark Eagle. I was already the deputy prime minister at the time, and everyone in the south of the Yangtze River wanted me to handle this matter, so I handed it over to Lu Junqing.

.Use the financial support of the Jiangnan family to establish Dark Eagle."

"The establishment of Dark Eagle naturally aroused dissatisfaction from the military. It is precisely because of the opposition of Pang Hui, Han Zhong and others that Dark Eagle has been unable to become a formal organization like the Imperial City Department of Foreign Affairs, and cannot obtain funding support from the Ministry of Household Affairs in an open and honest manner.

.”

Huang Song couldn't help but said, "Since Pang Hui and Han Zhong are both from the military, why..."

"You mean why Pang Hui put Han Zhong in jail and eventually imprisoned him to death?"

Huang Song nodded.

"Pang Hui is a man who has a strong desire for power. There is also a dispute between the old and new factions in the army. How can Pang Hui seize greater military power without overthrowing Han Zhong? Of course, this is another story. I will not talk about it today.

"Huang Yuandu waved his hand.

Huang Song originally wanted to know how his father and Pang Hui joined forces to promote Pang Ying to the throne, but he had no choice but to keep silent. The coup at that time was a taboo topic, and there were many secrets in it that even Huang Song didn't know.

Huang Yuandu continued, "In the fourteen years since Dark Eagle was founded, all the expenses needed have been supported by everyone in the southeast of Daqi. Those local officials who supported me also secretly withheld part of the tax revenue and handed it over to Dark Eagle. I also withheld money from the Ministry of Household Affairs

Part of this is what allows Dark Eagle to maintain its existence. Unfortunately, this kind of maintenance may not be sustainable!"
