Chapter 440 Is there a solitary loyalist in the south? No! Everyone in the south is loyal(1/2)

Zhang Dun actually didn't care about Guangyuan City at all.

He just rode around the perimeter of Guangyuan City and inspected the city that had been besieged for more than ten days.

Then he ordered people to shoot some letters urging surrender into the city, and he would do his best to be benevolent and righteous, and no longer care about the gains and losses of the city.

Because, for Zhang Dun and the accompanying officials who came here to inspect with Zhang Dun, Guangyuan City's defense measures were too simple, too primitive, and too fragile.

There is no horse face, no sheep and horse city, that's all.

The key is that Guangyuan City is an isolated city.

The commanding heights in the surrounding mountainous areas were all under the control of the chieftains, and the defenders never even came out to fight for them.

This shows that the defenders don’t know how to defend the city at all!

They are just a bunch of rabble who stupidly occupy the city.

In this case, there is no need to spend too much thought here.

"Early tomorrow morning, if the Guangyuan bandit army cannot attack the city, they will begin to attack the city." Zhang Dun said to the chieftains beside him.

Nong Zhihui and Nong Shengde led the chieftains to bow respectfully: "I will obey the military orders of the Prime Minister!"

Zhang Dun looked at these respectful chieftains, nodded and said: "Good! In this case, Guangyuan City will be handed over to you."

"Please be at ease, Sir!" Nong Zhihui and Nong Shengde immediately bowed and said, "Within three days, the generals will definitely capture Guangyuan City!"

In this regard, they are full of confidence.

Zhang Dun nodded without questioning anything.

Guangyuan Prefecture was originally a territory run by the Nong family for generations. The Song army was able to ignore the local chieftains and wealthy families in Guangyuan Prefecture, and could even get help from these people to lead the way and even provide food and grass, and support from the people.

It's the Nong family's influence that is at work.

Now, Nong Zhihui, Nong Shengde, and more than 30 Dong and Ding from Guihua Prefecture, Shun'an Prefecture, and Guangyuan Prefecture are supported by the siege equipment built by the Song Army from Guizhou. There are probably still more people in the city.

The Nong family should respond.

It's not a problem for them to win Guangyuan City, it's a problem if they can't!

Zhang Dun was about to fight his horse, so he returned to the camp and went to take a look at the sick camp in the camp.

At this moment, a local official in his thirties appeared in front of his horse and bowed to him: "My lord, I have an unkind request at the end. Please be kind to me."

"Well?" Zhang Dun looked at this strange Nong family and became confused: "What's the matter?"

"I have finally heard that the officials of the Great Song Dynasty are the lords of the world and the kings of the four seas. They are the most holy and wise people in the world!"

"Huh?" Zhang Dun still didn't understand what this person wanted to do.

Nong Kexiang raised his head, looked at Zhang Dun and kowtowed heavily, and said: "My Nong family is the official family of the fourth generation of the Song Dynasty. I have served for decades. It can be said that I have long admired the emperor's kindness and been deeply enlightened!"

"However, people in Guangxi still regard our various tribes as 'ugliest' and 'stupid beasts'."

"Begging the Prime Minister to rectify Nong's name and give him a surname to show to the world!"

After Nong Kexiang finished speaking, Nong Zhihui, Nong Shengde and other local officials of the Nong family knelt down and kowtowed: "Begging the Prime Minister to rectify the Nong family's name and give him a surname to show to the world!"

Since the defeat of Nong Zhigao, the Nong family has been discriminated against even though they submitted to the Song Dynasty.

Like Nong Kexiang's "group ugly" and "stupid beast" are actually relatively civilized terms.

In the official circles of Guangxi, the real discriminatory names given to them by civil servants and military generals are: dogs and sheep, bears.

These were all famous officials of the Song Dynasty who followed Di Qing to suppress Nong Zhigao's uprising, so they were given by Yu Jing, the economic envoy of Guangxi.

Back then, Yu Jing directly addressed Nong's family in this way in official documents.

Yu Jing was a famous official in the Song Dynasty. He always said this, and naturally everyone in Guangxi's officialdom followed his example.

There is all kinds of discrimination against the Nong family. The Nong Zhihui was moved to Yongzhou by Kumamoto last year. This is the reason - deep-rooted discrimination makes it difficult for the Nong family to get any help from Guangxi.

Zhang Dun looked at these people, laughed, and said: "The matter of giving surnames is the right of the emperor!"

When being an official in the Song Dynasty, the first rule - giving surnames and giving names is the right of the emperor, and ministers cannot be monopolistic!

Because the emperors of all dynasties have all been named crazy demons.

The Nong family suddenly became a little depressed and hung their heads.

Zhang Dun laughed when he saw it and said, "You don't have to be depressed. I will write to the court about this matter and ask the emperor to give you a surname!"

Do people today like to give people surnames?

The answer is yes.

Since he came to the throne, he has shown this hobby of Zhao officials in the past dynasties.

Apart from other things, this is the first general to control the dragon in the Southern Expedition.

Judging from Zhang Dun's understanding of the late emperor, basically, as long as someone from below requested a name, he would not disagree or approve it.

No matter how busy I am, I will always take time to think of a good name and give it to him.

Therefore, during the Yuanfeng era, local ministers were racking their brains every day to find ways to create an opportunity for the officials in Bianjing to be given names.

Father and son are one, and Zhang Dun feels that the current man should be similar.

Therefore, the request of the Nong family must be fulfilled.

Nong Zhihui and others were overjoyed when they heard this.

How can the name given by the ruler compare to the imperial gift given by the emperor?

So, everyone thanked me profusely.

Zhang Dun looked at them and shook his head in his heart.

He could guess who was inciting Nong's family to come to him and make such a request.

Gao Zunhui!

This uncle of the Empress Dowager, since arriving in Guangxi, has been in a hurry and hangs out with the chieftains every day.

Zhang Dun heard that this horse-drawn official even hired many young men who came south from Bianjing to contact the Jiaozhi local wealthy families who had not yet joined the Song Dynasty on his behalf.

A few days ago, after Lu Jiawen came, Gao Zunhui and Lu Jiawen stayed together every day.

After Lu Jiawen arrived, Gao Zunhui made more and more noise.

In the past, he might have only kept in touch with the chieftains to build relationships.

Now, under Lu Jiawen's instigation, this horse-drawn official just barely had "I am the uncle of the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty" engraved on his forehead.

When he saw the chieftain, he told him how he had gained the trust of the officials and how his family was so prominent.

A large number of Jiaozhi local officials and wealthy families were all frightened by Gao Zunhui.

This is also the reason why Zhang Dun left Xiping Prefecture.

Because Gao Zunhui and Lu Jiawen have now arrived in Beizhi.

It is said that even some wealthy families and local officials from as far away as Jiaozhi and Taiyuan have sent people to Beizhang City to visit the uncle of the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty.

After Zhang Dun heard that Gao Zunhui had gone to the north, he had to hand over the relevant logistical work to Guan Qi and led his people into Jiaozhi.

no way!

The reputation of the relatives of the Song Dynasty is too prominent.

Zhang Dun didn't want to become Liu Changzuo's second best - the good Lingzhou City was about to return to the Song Dynasty.

Gao Zunyu ordered the city to be dropped, and Lingzhou City was returned.

Tens of thousands of elites were killed in the Yellow River floods.

Therefore, he must come!

Because, if Gao Zunhui acts randomly, Di Yong will definitely not be able to suppress him.

Only he, the general manager, could suppress Gao Zunhui and prevent him from messing around on the front line and interfering with the command.



Guiwei in the spring and third month of the first year of Yuanyou (26).

Gao Zunhui now lives in the old Zhizhou Yamen in Beizhang City.

It is said to be the official government office of Zhizhou, but in fact it is just a small courtyard with three entrances.

It's not as good as the residential houses Gao Zunhui saw in Bianjing City.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of beauties here.

Gao Zunhui can now be said to be a groom every night. As long as he wants, he will be served by beauties every day.

So, after only a few days in Beijing, his color changed after hearing about the beauty.

I feel like practicing meditation.

I really can’t hold it any longer!

"Gongshi Gao..." Lu Jia's voice came from outside the door.

Gao Zunhui raised his head and saw Lu Jiawen walking in with a pamphlet.

"Please also ask the official to leave calligraphy on this family tree." Lu Jiawen said.

Gao Zunhui nodded, took the brochure handed over by Lu Jiawen, took a look, and then his pupils began to dilate: "How dare they?"
