Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 7: Lishan in the early morning

This time, Lu Haowen suddenly showed responsibility, which caused both sides to lose out, and Zhao Jiu reflected on many things.

He realized that it was too early to do whatever he wanted... and this didn't play a decisive role in Nanyang before, so that the bureaucratic group that bore him a little was by no means his enemy.

In a word, everyone has to live together like this, absolutely can't leave, or it's useless if you leave... All Adam and Eve are now, why are they hurting each other?

In fact, the summation of the turmoil in the imperial court meeting and the peace turmoil last time can be seen as a mutual trial after the two sides moved back from Nanyang to Tokyo, in an attempt to find a new position for both sides:

The first wave is regarded as Zhao Jiu's victory, so the authority of the Zhao official family has undoubtedly increased by a big step;

But this wave is a test to the bottom line. In the face of the serious question of Tsunaki, a little test on both sides is enough.

But having said that, after this meeting, the two sides entered a cooling-off period, and things started to make progress-a very absurd thing is that Yue Fei actually succeeded in countering the rebellion directly, and his report for victory was simply to ask Pan Fei to follow suit. The letter from the driver arrived.

The Privy Council dare not believe it!

After half a year of tossing and causing serious political, military, and economic obstacles to the revival of the Song Dynasty, the Jiangning Army Rebellion in Southeast Asia ended on the fifth day after Yue Fei's tribe crossed the river.

And Yue Fei’s military newspaper also wrote extremely sincere and honest:

On the day of crossing the river, fight with the enemy at Shibu Town, east of Jiangning Fucheng, and win; the next day, fight at Jiangshan (that is, Zhongshan), and then win; rest for one day, attack Jiangning at night, and defeat it; the next day, the headquarters Commander Zhang Xianfu pursued the enemy as far as Niutoushan in the southwest of the city, and captured the bandit leader Wang Yi, planning to surrender more than 10,000 rebels.

For this battle report, the Privy Council once expressed a cautious skepticism.

The reason for being cautious is that they also know that the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning rebels cannot be too strong. As long as they fight step by step, this group of mobs will not be able to defeat the elites of Yue Fei who have fought **** battles with the Golden Army. .

However, the problem is that for more than a hundred years since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, have there ever been such generals and troops that did not do any extra actions, did not have any additional conditions, and went to war honestly and step by step?

Di Qing?

When Di Qing was a clerk, he would also interfere with justice! Wen Yanbo's words are certainly abhorrent, but General Di is not so innocent in the whole story that triggered Wen Yanbo's words.

Han Shizhong?

This servant had just forcibly conscripted in Huaixi and almost caused a civil disturbance.

So, don’t you have to spend a few more days in the rich land of the southeast? Don’t you need to send some rewards from the Queen Mother of Yangzhou? Shouldn’t Lu Yihao deploy allied forces and logistics uniformly after taking office?

Just cross the river, fight war, siege the city, chase the enemy, and be tied?

Not to mention the Privy Council, even if it is Zhao Jiu, although he knows that this must be true, he still finds it absurd to this military newspaper... I think he will be very ridiculous and run to the ditch at night, and Ning Subjugation will have to behead the head and carry the head at night. Huaihe, who can take care of it? Which time didn't you give your life to show?

The so-called knowing is true, but still feels too unreal, isn't it a sense of absurdity?

Not to mention, there is still a sharp contrast right now.

As a result, the rare and refreshing Zhao Guanjia decreed to commend Yue Fei while decreing that Lv Yihao quickly clean up the southeast situation and escorted the materials exchanges between Zhejiang, Fujian and Fujian and Yue Fei's ministry to Tokyo, which had been blocked by the war.

At the same time, on the one hand, he wrote back to allow Concubine Pan Xianfei to enter Beijing, but on the other hand, he sent Yushi Zhongcheng Hu Yin as a special envoy to go out of Guanxi to meet Yuwen Xuzhong and the generals of Guanxi—this is not only a kind of help from the Zhao officials to Hu Yin, I hope When he got out of his previous improper state, he also wanted to make a thorough decision on the situation in Kansai.

It is important to know that it is not only the southeast issue. A few days ago, Zhang Jun, who came out of Bashu, also delivered a piece of good news. According to him, the financial reform adopted by Zhao Kai, who was approved by the court, has achieved miraculous results... This reform Zhao Jiu Now I can understand it a little bit. It probably means that although the Song court was economically developed, it paid attention to a government-run economic control. At the very least, the benefits in special directions such as tea, salt, wine, alum, copper and iron should be guaranteed to be The state monopolizes, but because of the need to ensure control, the actual market size demand in remote places like Bashu is much larger than the official quota. Zhao Kai’s reform refers to the complete liberalization of the market when the central government is extremely short of money. The financial gains of these exclusive economies.

As a result, the entire Bashu region received nearly one million yuan in extra interest from tea alone in one year (a string refers to a bunch of money, and the actual exchange rate is far less than one thousand yuan due to the copper price problem, and the amount is variable. , But more representative of purchasing power).

One million yuan is not worth mentioning for the total fiscal revenue of Dasong over 100 million before the war. For the current fiscal revenue of nearly 10 million in Bashu and Southeast, it does not seem to be a big number. Moreover, Zhao The final benefits of the fiscal reforms initiated will also take time to complete the fiscal cycle...

But the key thing is that after Zhao Kai’s reforms and Zhang Jun’s unified pressure, the Bashu area encouraged tea merchants to engage in tea-horse trade. In just the first year, they directly exchanged horses from the Hengduan Mountains and the Northwest Tibetan Region. More than ten thousand!

So in this case, not to mention the transportation efficiency problem after the large-scale improvement of the Bashu finance... It must be directly used in Kansai with the highest efficiency... It is just a problem of the transportation and distribution of war horses, which has broken the Kansai stall. The resolution of the matter is imminent.

Hu Yin is not an idiot. Although he was a bit more straightforward, he knew that this trip to the west was the official's love for him, and it was a serious national event. So early in the morning when he got the will, he waited for the city gate to open. With his deputy in this trip, Wan Yumao, three or five provincial scholars, a dozen regular attendants, and twenty soldiers dispatched by the Privy Council, they set off to the west together.

Heading all the way west, the first half of the scenery is quite common.

The so-called ordinary information is actually not unusual, it is just the scenes that Hu Yin and others are accustomed to daily around Tokyo...It is nothing more than a military station, which is a dock building along the Yellow River, and it is full of soldiers and military family members. And a steady stream of refugees from Hebei.

As for the local people in Henan who have already moved south, and even the refugees from Hebei who went south to the Central Plains early in the previous few years, they are not willing to come to the front to ask for a living.

Therefore, the first hundred miles of the entire road were filled with the special atmosphere of military management and the specific depressive characteristics of the post-war period.

And these are too similar to the city of Tokyo, and Hu Yin and his party can't help but worry.

However, this worry soon disappeared, because after crossing the Bangshui Pass and entering the boundary of Xijing, Hu Mingzhong and others became completely silent-Xijing Luoyang also suffered a military disaster and was also depressed, but he and Baoshuiguan The humiliation of human activities is retained in the depression of Edong. On the whole, a trace of recovery can be seen. The depression here has a horrible gray atmosphere.

The ancient capital of the past millennia, as early as the end of Jingkang and the beginning of Jianyan, the strong resistance of Dadi and other rebels in Xijing led to the retaliatory burning and massacre of the Jin army.

The former prosperous place was burned early.

After the two major invasions and retreats of the Jin army, the main force passed through this exchange, and several tragic large-scale battles broke out. It is even conceivable that if war breaks out again in the future, Xijing, a key place that has lost the complete city system, will probably encounter a large-scale military disaster.

Therefore, not only the people in Xijing who originally fled were unwilling to return, but even the refugees from Hebei bypassed here, and the local army also focused on building docks in the mountains surrounding the Luoyang Plain for future response.

The Luoyang Plain in the old world inevitably fell into an untimely silent posture.

Hu Yin and others saw along the way that the fields had been abandoned for several years, and the ridges were often unrecognizable. The cities were empty. Except for a few troops, there were few people living in them, and the pigs and sheep fed by the troops went directly to the county schools and temples. When I came to Luoyang city, I saw that the old palace was completely defeated, and there were no pigs and sheep. It was just that the wild beasts entered and exited the streets, completely unlike the human world.

Hu Yin and the others still decided to pay respects to the Eight Tombs of the Zhao Song Dynasty, but they were dissuaded by the local veteran who was sent by Niu Gao and had been instructed in advance. The reason is that after the invasion of the Jin Army, according to the feudal superstition thinking of this year, it was a matter of course to pick up the Zhao's mausoleum. In the past, he took pains to protect the imperial mausoleum. Around the tomb of the clan, there are so many dead bodies that have become a fierce place.

However, the Zhao official’s house and the center had made several decrees that the officers and soldiers did not need to pay attention to the mausoleum during the previous battle. After Heyin, they instructed the Xijing army to pay attention to the defense construction of its Wubao first, and not need to clean the mausoleum for the time being... It was already unsightly, and was temporarily blocked by the Song Army.

Don't say that Hu Yin could hear these words, tears fell like rain, and even Wan Hao passed through this party and was shocked, but the two of them could only gnash their teeth while fleeing and hurriedly proceeded westward.

Thanks to this escape-style traveling speed, in late April, Yu Shi Zhongcheng Hu Yin crossed Tongguan, entered Guanxi, and met Yuwen Xuzhong in Chang'an.

But at this time, the situation has changed again, and Yu Wenxu's attitude here is already very clear:

"Hu Zhongcheng doesn't need to go anymore, Qu Duan has been domineering for so long, it is no longer available!"

"What does Yuwen Xianggong mean?" Hu Mingzhong was dumbfounded.

Of course he was dumbfounded, even Wan Hao felt it incredible.

It should be understood that the reason why Kansai is prolonged here is that on the one hand, the main force of the Jinjun West Route Army is extremely strong in front of the face, which causes Kansai to always be defeated, the situation has been deteriorating, and work cannot be carried out; on the other hand, it is Yuwen. After Xuzhong came to Kansai, he has always emphasized that the frontline generals should be delegated power and grace, which is quite at odds with the idea of ​​the court center.

In other words, Yuwen Xuzhong has always been the actual protector of Qu Duan.

And now, Hu Yin and others have come all the way from Xijing, witnessing the ruined scene of the war of "abandoned pools of trees, and hate to speak soldiers". They also feel increasingly that they should not care about the little domineering and annoying front-line generals. His character, and more active and actual military effect... In a word, Hu Mingzhong and others, as the emissaries of the imperial court, gradually changed their concepts and gradually understood Yuwen Xuzhong.

Therefore, after meeting now, Yu Wen Xianggong suddenly changed his posture, which inevitably made Hu Yin and others puzzled.

"After this battle, Qu Duan took the opportunity to merge all troops and horses in Kansai..." The haggard Yu Wen sighed in the hall of the Chang'an government office. "That's all. He did this after the war last year. It can only be said that it is the old vulgar customs in the army. When encountering troubled times, he became ambitious. Moreover, this time he actually reported to me. Wang Shu Wang Jinglue, who posted the article and has serious rights and responsibilities, has been in his army after this defeat..."

"In that case, it's not a violation of the system." Wan Hao, who was sitting at the bottom, interjected carefully. "Could it be that there are stories of persecuting Wang Jinglue in private?"

"If that's the case, that's all~www.wuxiaspot.com~Yuwen Xuzhong shook his head again and again." In fact, as everyone knows from the top and bottom of the court, the official has always thought that the posture of the dynasty to control the military is indeed a bit too much. , It is even more out of place, and it is indeed time to delegate power to the generals who know the soldiers, and then it will be convenient for the civilians who do not know the soldiers to take the initiative to take the initiative... Wang Shu is defeated, and Qu Duan is humiliated and persecuted. "

"That is……"

"Just a few days ago, my genius returned from the Qu Duan army and told me one thing... Wang Shu Wang Jing was a little under house arrest by Qu Duan!"

"Why can you see it?" Hu Mingzhong couldn't ask.

"Because my agent arrived in Qu Duan's army as my envoy, Qu Duan directly said that Wang Jinglue lost his teacher and humiliated the country, so it is better to kill him to thank the world." Yu Wen Xuzhong's face was pale.

"..." Hu Yin was stunned for a while.

"This is not domineering, this is seeking rebellion!" Wan Chengmao almost blurted out. "Is there a matter of controlling officials and prefects to kill the government?"
