On that day, the news of the mutiny in Ouchi came out, and the government and the opposition suddenly made an uproar, and all kinds of rumors flew all over the sky, spreading that they were superb, and there were even signs of leaving.

Jiangning Daily published Wang Xiu's own manuscript, telling about the recent events, which did not obviously refer to it, but it could be seen that the mastermind faintly pointed to the Jurchens.

This can be regarded as a hornet's nest, and the anger of the people was suddenly aroused, the assassination of Zhao Guan's family last time was not over, and now there are bribes to the guards and servants, and they want to catch them all, the two countries will not harm the Son of Heaven, and they can't be too shameless, okay?

The official wrote, the people petitioned, the tabloids added fuel to the fire, and the Yuquanshan Academy even formed a petition group to go to the capital to ask the people to be hanged for crimes, which was really in full swing.

Even those who were reluctant to suffer damage to their interests because of the Northern Expedition had to make a statement and support the imperial court for hanging the people.

Reluctance to go on the Northern Expedition? As Wang Xiu expected, with the comfort of people's lives, the Northern Expedition has become a political slogan, except for some scholars who are still insisting, and the people gradually began to resist substantively, about which will be broken down in the future.

However, it was said that Ban Zhi and the various departments of the front division of the palace were the most unlucky, and carried out a large-scale rebellion, and found out some betrayers of the family and country, and even several officials at all levels of government were arrested, and they were strongly supported by the people, but no one criticized the military system and the reform of the official system. This is Wang Xiu's frank and unfair, but secretly diverted the disaster to the north, diverted the attention of the main contradiction, and gave people an outlet for anger.

With the purging of the enemy's life, the minister's money, which has been difficult to implement for so many years, has also been unexpectedly smoothly implemented.

Because, Wang Xiu openly claimed that the minister's money was distributed to the public, which was related to the important affairs of the military state, and some people with ulterior motives would stir up right and wrong, and did not want the Great Song Dynasty to get rid of the large expenses and use the limited financial resources for the military.

This makes people feel powerless, and it is obviously a heartache! Ulterior motives? On the cusp of the limelight, it is going to be regarded as a dead room, and many people whose interests are damaged want to resist, but they are afraid of being put on a high hat, and they lose the best opportunity in hesitation.

However, there are also bold and reckless people who impeach Wang Xiu, saying that by purging the spies, they wantonly suppress the scholars, and vainly try to harsh their careers and so on.

The funny thing is that as soon as these people came out of Donghua Gate, they were chased and scolded, and the door of their home was even splashed with dog blood, and they couldn't stop all day, and finally had to end miserably, and even Shilin didn't have much protection.

What's going on? The minister's money is distributed to the public, which is obviously good governance, reducing unnecessary expenses, and the imperial court gives you generous money, and also gives office funds to individuals.

In addition to hiring a few staff members and saving office expenses, the money will be put into your pocket, and the bigger the official, the more you will earn a lot of money, but you will suffer the brothers below.

At least the people are very supportive of Wang Xiu, and the officials also quite agree, the government directly distributes the minister's money, and also exempts the officials from being harsh, not everyone is generous, who has the money, no one is willing to use it, it is better to form a public customization of the government, everyone follows the light, at least the office expenses are relaxed.

The performers were unlucky, Wang Xiu was also ruthless, and Shen Mo, who was in charge of the household department, was even more ruthless, and took out more than 40 officials in a row, finally making this group of people honest, even if they were dissatisfied, it would not hinder the overall situation, you have no ability to make trouble, and you have no chance to retaliate, what else can you do except hibernate silence?

Regarding the military, under Wang Xiu's suppression, the two governments did not speak out, but caused a new round of criticism, but smart people felt that something was wrong, and some people sniffed out a little difference.

Since the fall of Xia, the forbidden army has been downsized, with a full strength of 130,000 people in the six armies of the palace division, 6,000 troops in the imperial city, and 2,800 guards in the class, which together constitute the arch guard force in the line. In the past few years, due to the expansion of the two armies of the Southern Servant Army, the six armies of the palace division have all been reduced and remain dissatisfied.

For example, the largest Japanese army, with a full strength of 25,000 men, had only 7,600 men at this time, and the original 10 horse battalions with 700 men in each battalion now had only two battalions with 300 men each.

There are only 40,000 soldiers and horses in front of the palace, and 3,000 soldiers in the imperial city, which is enough to be safe.

However, the Sixth Army of the Front Division of the Palace began to replenish the shortage unconsciously, and the personnel gradually reached 100,000 people, various military formations and individual soldier training were carried out intensively, and the loss of armor and armor gradually increased.

The most important person is that the various institutes of the Ministry of Military Weapons and Ordnance Supervision have stepped up production and expanded orders for civilian military materials, whether it is cowhide or copper and iron, the quantity has greatly increased.

During this period, a trivial incident occurred that did not attract attention, and the imperial court called Yu Yunwen, who was mourning at home, for the third time.

Yu Yunwen has been mourning at home for many years, and has long had a reputation for benevolence and filial piety in Shilin, but he has been recruited three times in a row, all of which are advocated by Wang Xiu, which makes Qin Hui, Cai Yi and others feel weird.

What's even more flavorful is that Wang Xiu even used Shi Hao, as well as some celebrities, and recruited sincerely, and the specifications were very enviable.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and the third conscription arrived in Shuchuan, or the transfer envoy of the Sichuan Road, and the right to know the Chengdu government affairs Xin Bing went in person, and Yu Yunwen reluctantly responded.

Others don't know what Yu Yunwen represents, but Wang Xiu knows it, with Shi Hao and Yu Yunwen, one is a principled and steady argument, and the other is an enterprising argument that knows how to advance and retreat, and the new generation of the Great Song Dynasty has a complete double wall.

Coupled with Zhong Lirui and Zong Liang cultivated by himself, the core of the two mansions in the post-Wang Xiu era has begun to take shape.

Compared with the front division of the palace and the guard Ma Bu military division, the guard navy is particularly active, and the guard navy Dazhai on Shamen Island has completely become a military fortress, with nearly 100 large and medium-sized warships moored, and more than 10,000 permanent guards and sailors.

This large military fortress was on the flank of the Jin army, and the sea ships escorted the transfer ships to transport officials, harassing the coast at any time, so that the Jin army had to deploy heavy troops in the coastal military states, which consumed a lot of money and food.

Li Changsheng, who had just returned to the imperial court for two months, was appointed as the deputy commander of the guard navy and the commander of the northern sea fleet, and Zhang Guo was also appointed as the commander of the first army of the tiger wing of the guard navy, and the deputy commander of the tiger wing northern camp was also in charge of the general seal.

The appointment of the brothers, in the eyes of insiders, is a signal to prepare for war. Why? Zhang Qiyuan is the deputy commander of the Southern Guard, Navy and Navy fleet, and it should be said that he immediately took charge of the capital and expanded the territory for the Son of Heaven, but he was directly transferred north, which explains the problem.
