The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

December is coming in a blink of an eye, and the sky is getting colder, but the city of Bianjing is in full swing. Now Kaifeng City has been fully renovated, demolishing the damaged houses when the city is broken, renovating the streets, repairing the government offices and palaces, strengthening the city defense,

Unblock the moat that was landfilled by the Jin army. First, the New Year is approaching, and after the chaos, we must create an atmosphere of harmony and happiness; the other is that next year will be the year when the new emperor changes its reign, and countries will send envoys to congratulate them, and various places will guard them

I will also come to the capital to pay tribute, so I have to make some appearances!

But some of the people in the city were not happy. They were all officials who came to Beijing from all over the country, some were officials who were waiting to be selected gathered in the capital; some were guards who had left their posts without permission during the war and came back to explore the news and wanted to get rid of the crime;

There are also officials who were found to have problems arrested and arrested in Beijing. The result made them very uneasy. The priests in the court all changed a lot, and the official atmosphere also changed drastically. The bosses of various departments were all in their faces.

They are all black like the bottom of the pot, all of them look like they are doing business and are unwilling to be at all.

In the past, those little officials who reached out to ask for money from various yamen did not dare to accept the money because no one knew whether they would meet the unlucky censor. Even if they had not met the censor, no one knew that the big box in front of the palace would be in the big box.

Not being stuffed into a small note may ruin your life's future. Now the minor officials also enjoy the salary given by the state and can be in the hall with the scholars, and many of them have already done it.

The doctors and officials from various departments heard that some of the officials from the surrounding prefectures and counties have become magistrates and magistrates.

The people in the capital were very happy. After the new emperor ascended the throne, he was really a new person and a new atmosphere. After some governance, at least the "big brothers and sisters-in-law" in Bianjing City were killed, and the pass was the sky that was galloping on the streets.

The nobles and the powerful men who walked away with their arms were lost, and the gangsters who bullied the market became rats crossing the street. They no longer dared to show off their majesty.

In the past, whenever there were festivals or celebrations, the beggars in the city would be invited out of the city. Now there is no need. The new emperor issued an edict to restore Guanghui Cang, which had been abolished several times, and allocated special funds to Futianyuan and

Living in nursing homes, sheltering widows, orphans, refugees, and beggars. Anjifang was also set up to treat patients. The medical team of the imperial guards of the Gyeonggi Province was also open to civilians and participated in the treatment of diseases and rescue of people. At the same time, land was laid out for the temples to let them

Responsible for the Leave Ze Garden, burying guests who died in a foreign land and those who have no choice but to be buried.

"Widows, widows, orphans, and poor people in ancient times. Those who live live, those who are sick, those who are sick, those who are buried, those who are dead are also very beneficial." A series of measures have been implemented to quickly stabilize the people's hearts in the capital area, and these measures have also been quickly spread across the country.

It will definitely consume a lot of money and food. Now the tax is tight, so Zhao Qi can only bleed. Of course, he doesn’t have to take out his own pocket. Instead, he will make a list of the spoils he snatched, which can be regarded as taking

It is used for the people...

After three months in charge, Zhao Qi did not realize the passion of Kangxi's desire to live for another 500 years, but realized that Yongzheng was overwhelmed by state affairs and was unable to breathe. Every morning, he would go to court to discuss matters when he opened his eyes.

After the court, he discussed state affairs with the prime ministers. At night, he had to review mountains of memorials until late at night. Eating was a little faster. He was so tired that he lost interest in even the major events of inheriting the family line.

Zhao Qi was so sleepy that he was dozing off, but looking at the memorials piled up on the table, he could only keep on watching. "Defeat Cao Cheng, a giant bandit in Huainan, captured the bandit chief Ma You. He killed the bandit leader Li Hong, and is now chasing him with all his strength.

Suppress Cao Chengyu’s troops…” He picked up a war report sent by Gao Chong and read it softly, this was good news.

Cao Cheng's troops were bandits with the collapsed government forces as the backbone. They used burning, killing, looting as their main source of economy, and even amassed wealth under the banner of anti-corruption of "recovering stolen goods and helping pay", which was almost the same as bandits. But they could not give anything to the inside.

A policy program that boosts morale and military morale; it not only harms the country but also harms the people.

Now, due to the invasion of the Jin army, the government has become the backbone of national interests. The conflict between the government and the people in the country has eased, and the main contradiction has risen to national conflicts. They will inevitably cause the bandit gang to go against the mainstream forces of the Song Dynasty.

This leads to the separation of the army and is also disgusted by the grassroots, and failure is inevitable.

These bandits fought in a row, robbing and fighting, lacking bases for advancing and retreating and defending. Over time, the soldiers and food were not replenished in time. After being hit by the government forces and frustrated, a group appeared after being hit by the government forces and suffered setbacks.

The situation was dispersed. After Cao Cheng's army failed, Ma You and Li Hong, who had formed an alliance with him, satisfies and is in a wait-and-see state. As a result, Gao Chong took the opportunity to defeat them one by one and quickly collapsed.

"Never ask about the threat, the bandit leader will be punished, and they will use both to urge and pacify the bandits to quickly quell the bandits and control the south of the Yangtze River!" Zhao Qiong took a pen and criticized the memorial. Blindly urged the bandits will only make those who are lucky and repeat the same mistakes, constantly increase the price, and fall into the trap of the situation.

As more and more situations are suppressing, he wants to dispel the fantasies of those who have advanced by rebellion.

If there is good news, there is bad news. Zhao Yong encountered trouble. The main enemies of the Song Dynasty were still in the northwest and north. Zhao Jie also adopted the policy of placing troops in the north and the south and neglecting the south. The reception of Hebei and Hezhong was very smooth.

But he encountered trouble in Shaanxi. The Shaanxi Army's various strategic envoys wrote a letter to keep the military number and refused to be adapted into a local army.

Since Zhao Xiao recovered Lingzhou, the defense situation in the northwest has greatly improved. From a regional perspective, there are few areas bordering Shaanxi and Xixia, and are no longer at the forefront of war. Strategically, they have retreated to the second-tier position. But then, they were

In order to gain military power, Guan has not adjusted the military strength in Shaanxi. Even though the troops were drawn many times since then, the Shaanxi army still followed the wartime system and stationed heavy troops.

In order to strengthen the defense of Xixia, the Shaanxi Army divided the Yongxing Army, Fuyan, Huanqing, Qinfeng, Jingyuan and Xihe routes, with a total of 120,000 infantry and 60,000 horse soldiers, and was divided into Yongxing Army.

Wu Jie, Huanqing Road Administrator Zhao Zhe, Qinfeng Road Administrator Sun Wo, Jingyuan Road Administrator Liu Qi and other commanders, the army was fully organized and well-trained. It can be said that the Song Dynasty imperial guards had only achieved success.

an army.

Zhao Qi had thought about dealing with the Shaanxi Army before. He knew that the matter would not go too smoothly, and in fact, it was impossible to calmly reorganize such a uniform army. However, with the Song and Xia countries now rescinding their troops,

It is unrealistic and impossible to retain the standing army of 180,000 in Shaanxi. His plan is to dismantle the Shaanxi army, some of which are selected into the new army, some are converted into Shaanxi local army, and some are transferred to Hezhong and Yunzhong to strengthen the two places

The remaining troops retire or become a settlement army.

After the imperial guards gradually declined, the Western Army became the mainstay of the Song army, with many famous generals emerging. Among the major military groups in the northwest, the two families were headed by the Zong and Yao families. These two families were famous general families in the northwest, with the greatest contribution and the greatest prestige.

He was the strongest, and he was always the leader of the generals in the northwest. However, during the Jingkang period, the two representatives of the Zhong family died of battle among the two representatives of the Zhong family, and the Zhong family died of illness. The forces of the Zhong family collapsed, and the two representatives of the Yao family

The character Yao Gu was demoted and Yao Pingzhong ran away, so the Yao family's power no longer exists.

In the early years of the Song Dynasty, there were four major general families in the northwest, Yang, Zong, Yao and Zhe. The Yang family passed down for only three generations and disappeared into the smoke of history. Now, the Yao family has followed in the footsteps, leaving only the Zhe family.

Although the family has also gone downhill, it has finally achieved fruitful results. After Zhao Qi's consideration, the Zhe family, as his in-laws, had no need to say for loyalty, so he first adjusted Zheji as the Shaanxi military appeasement envoy so that Shaanxi could be successfully reorganized.

After the military was reorganized, the Zhe family lost military power again, and there was no situation where foreign relatives interfered in politics.

Zhao Qiong's abacus was well-known and wanted to use the prestige of the Zhe family to shock the generals in Shaanxi, but he still miscalculated. The generals in the northwest, who had no leader, wanted to take the opportunity to "stand out" in the chaos, and wanted to gain a place for themselves in troubled times.

After the collapse of the two major military groups in Yao, the northwest generals were the most famous and powerful among the commanders of Jingyuan. This person was known as "literary and military" and did not favor personal feelings. He sent his uncle to fight and was defeated.

After that, he was beheaded, and he did have certain talents.

Unfortunately, Qu Duan is selfish, has a weak view of the overall situation, and is full of personal heroism and local mountain doctrine. In the early days, when Yao Gu was in, he was not the turn of his decision to make up the matter in Shaanxi, so Qu Duan naturally had nothing to say

It can be said that since these people are gone, Qu Duan is full of thought that it has come to be the time for him to become king.

However, the court sent another Zhe Kecun, which immediately made Qu Duan very dissatisfied. In addition, the Zhe family was also from a noble family, Qu Duan looked down on these second-generation officials from his heart, thinking that the Zhe family was just a marriage with the new king.

He went to Shaanxi to grab territory, so he didn't want to be restrained by him, so he incited all military generals to jointly write a letter and refused to reorganize the imperial guards on the grounds that their military pay, welfare and benefits would be reduced.

"Damn, I don't know how many bowls of dry rice I'll eat..." Zhao Qi threw the memorial aside and sneered. Not to mention that the Jurchens and the Xixia people were much more awesome than them. They dared to make peace after winning two battles.

It’s too serious to challenge yourself and not obey the emperor’s order.

Looking at the various military use of the Song Dynasty, all of them were not strict, and military discipline and national laws were as if they were useless. Those who fled at the battle were not severely punished, those who died in battle were not given any pensions, and rewards and punishments were unclear. The military discipline was dispersed. When confronting the enemy, they either fled in sight or collapsed at once.

If you make a slight victory, you will report a great victory, deceive the upper and lower levels, and treat the war as a joke. However, you are cruel and arrogant when treating the soldiers and people of the country. You will be fierce and arrogant when you capture people and act resolutely, and kill the poor. It seems that you will abandon the original imperial guards and rebuild the new army.

Chess is the right move.

"Avoid conflicts, take the leader, divide and disintegrate, and defeat them one by one!" Zhao Qi thought for a while, and wrote a handwritten edict to send someone to Zhao Yongjun... (To be continued...)
