Zhao Jun obviously did not realize how much impact a laptop game that he later became tired of playing had brought to Zhao Zhen.
Zhao Jun didn't feel anything because he thought those games were really boring.
In the Internet age, new games appear every day, with new skins, new gameplay, and new special effects.
Even mobile games have gradually caught up with computer client games and become the new overlord.
There are so many ways to entertain yourself, and there are new ones every day, which makes people overwhelmed.
If he wasn't afraid of the lack of internet in the mountains and could only download some single-player games, and couldn't play those more popular online games, he wouldn't bother downloading these outdated games.
So he left the notebook in Bianliang, thinking that Zhao Zhen couldn't understand these things anyway, so it would be good for him to learn knowledge from the notebook.
However, he forgot that Zhao Zhen had not experienced the impact of the Internet.
Everything in the laptop was new to Zhao Zhen, especially the games and movies, which were much more interesting than ancient entertainment methods.
This caused Zhao Zhen to quickly become addicted to it and unable to extricate himself.
Moreover, he learned it all by himself. After learning how to operate a laptop, he gradually went from watching movies to playing games.
It has to be said that if a person is almost fanatically obsessed with something, then even if this thing is just an unfamiliar field to him at the beginning, he can quickly achieve the effect of mastery through amazing learning ability.
It was obvious that Zhao Zhen had fallen into this kind of eager learning because of his serious Internet addiction.
If Zhao Jun knew, he would probably drag him to the Thunder King for electrotherapy. And after each shock, he would ask him, "Are you still online?" "Are you still online?" "Are you still online?"
Unfortunately, apart from the solar charging panels and computer batteries that barely had some power, the Song Dynasty had no electricity and no Thunder King, and Zhao Jun was unaware of this matter.
At this time, Zhao Jun went south to Haozhou and Shouzhou to continue his inspection tours, conducting research at the grassroots level, investigating corruption, and looking for talents.
But Fan Zhongyan, who was far away in the northwest, had a completely different situation.
As the saying goes, "In May, there is snow on the Tianshan Mountains, no flowers, only cold. I hear the sound of willows being cut in the flute, but I have not seen the spring scenery." Although it is spring now, the north wind is still blowing in the northwest, and the Loess Plateau is full of desolation and loneliness.
Lao Fan set out on January 10th and arrived in Hezhong Prefecture in early February. The journey was over 300 kilometers and took about 20 days.
Before Fan Zhongyan took office, there was no governor in Shaanxi Road, only a transport commissioner. The transport commissioner was mainly responsible for taxation, local governance and material transportation, while the governor was in charge of the military and political power of the route, which was somewhat equivalent to the governor of a province in the Han Dynasty.
In the second year of the Qingli period (1042), due to the repeated invasions of the Western Xia, Song Renzong decided to reform the military command system in Shaanxi. He issued an edict to divide Shaanxi into four routes: Fuyan, Jingyuan, Huanqing, and Qinfeng, and appointed a general manager and pacification envoy. The military officers in these routes, including the general manager, deputy general manager, seal commander, and chief inspector, were all commanded by the general manager.
But now with the appearance of Zhao Jun, Zhao Zhen realized that he had to respond in advance. So at the beginning of this year, under the "recommendation" of Lu Yijian, Zhao Zhen officially divided Shaanxi into four routes, with the Shaanxi Economic and Pacification Envoy coordinating all military and political affairs, and Fan Zhongyan became the first Economic and Pacification Envoy.
Because of his "merits" in governing Shaanxi, Fan Yong was transferred back to Henan Prefecture.
Although Fan Yong was a little confused.
I am the transport commissioner of Shaanxi Road, a senior official of the fourth rank, while the governors of Kaifeng, Yingtian, Henan and Daming are of the fourth rank, half a level lower than the governors of other provinces. Why should I be demoted despite my meritorious service?
But no matter what, this decree was unanimously agreed upon by the Council of Political Affairs. With the promotion of the government and many prime ministers, this decree was quickly issued and implemented.
So Fan Yong was transferred back to Henan, and Fan Zhongyan took Wang Deyong and 20,000 soldiers and marched towards the northwest.
In the fifth year of Xining, Shaanxi Road was divided into Qinfeng and Yongxingjun. However, the four routes now divided are still dominated by Shaanxi Road. The following four routes can be regarded as the four main strategic military regions.
Therefore, today's Shaanxi Road still has Chang'an as its capital.
However, Fan Zhongyan did not go to Chang'an. Instead, he ordered the newly appointed Shaanxi pacification envoy Pang Ji to prepare food and fodder in Chang'an in the rear, and he went to Yanzhou in person.
Historically, although Zhao Zhen appointed Xia Song to govern the northwest, he also appointed a large number of civil servants to restrain him.
For example, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, Wen Yanbo, Fan Yong, Pang Ji, Wang Yaochen, Yang Xie, Teng Zongliang, Wang Yan, Fan Xiang, Liu Ping, Yin Zhu and others all served in the northwest as important posts such as military governor, pacification envoy, recruiting envoy, and transport envoy.
These civil officials hindered and argued with each other, resulting in constant internal friction. They had different opinions on defense, sending troops, and other aspects. In the end, the combined strength of the various Song Dynasty forces was far greater than that of Li Yuanhao, but they were defeated one by one by Li Yuanhao and suffered three major defeats.
Having learned from this lesson, Zhao Zhen only appointed Fan Zhongyan as the general manager, Pang Ji and Wang Yaochen as pacification envoys, and set up four transport envoys, Wang Yan, Liu Ping, Wang Deyong and Wen Yanbo, in the four routes. The rest included Yin Zhu, Fan Xiang, Yang Xie, Teng Zongliang and others as deputy envoys.
Although there were still many officials, Fan Zhongyan was the chief official.
In this way, the court's appointment gave Fan Zhongyan great power as a border commander. All military and political affairs in the northwest were handled by him without having to report to the emperor and the Council of Political System. He was truly equivalent to the Northwest Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty.
Lao Fan arrived in Yanzhou in mid-February. After arriving at the place, he immediately began to select soldiers and form a team.
It was the same in the Song Dynasty. Soldiers did not know their generals and generals did not know their soldiers. In history, many generals of the Northwest Army were transferred from various places. For example, Ge Huaimin entered the officialdom through family connections and was now the prefect of Cangzhou. He would serve as the prefect of Chuzhou for two years before being transferred to the northwest.
