Chapter 585: The Dark Side
This Lantern Festival in the eighth year of Qingli is full of surprises, when everyone in the palace is still discussing how to reward meritorious people, Kaifeng City has already learned the news, and on the occasion of this double happiness, they are almost crazy with joy.
Young boys and girls forgot today's own festival, and cheered loudly for the bravery of the Northwest Army, young people are always easy to be moved, impulsive, under the influence of Confucianism, they still take the glory of the country very seriously.
Zhao Zhen was quite brainy about Lu Zifei's reward, but after it was resolved, this news was indeed worth his excitement, and in the Zichen Palace, everyone's eyes were on Yang Huaiyu, and Yang Huaiyu instantly Alexander.
This may be the most memorable thing in his life, and his grandfather Yang Jiye is afraid that he will not have such an opportunity to let the people at the top of the Great Song Dynasty pyramid pay attention to it!
"Now whether the Northwest Army will stay in Dali or go to the remaining counties."
"Back to the emperor, when the minister came back, the Northwest Army had taken Lanxi County with the momentum of destroying the ancient and decaying, and the army in Lanxi County was divided into two, General Cao Feng led people to kill Tengchong Mansion, and General Zhang Qi killed to the Qilan Department, at this time it has been a month since the minister left, if there is no accident, the entire territory of Dali has been controlled by our army."
Lu Zifei's strategic intentions have been fully realized, with Tianzhu in the west, Bagan in the east, Tubo in the north, and the Great Song Dynasty in the east.
In the future, no matter how Da Song chooses, with the pedal of Dali, the initiative will always be in the hands of Da Song, and only with the initiative can there be the right to attack, this is a scene that Lu Zifei wants to see.
Du Yan said: "The resistance of the people of Dali is not strong, and what is their hatred of the Song people. ”
These two points are very important, it is easy to fight the country, it is difficult to govern the country, and now it is defeated, if the resistance of the Dali people is more intense, then the governance in the later period will be a big trouble, and the focus of the literati is still different from that of the military generals.
Yang Huaiyu said: "It's very calm, Lord Lu said that they are used to it, and they have become numb to this kind of change of ruler, relatively speaking, it is quite stable, and there are no major fluctuations." ”
Wen Yanbo said: "You have participated in this battle from beginning to end, what do you think about the stationing of Dali's army in the future." ”
Yang Huaiyu thought to herself, I have your ancestors' opinions, how much salary do I get a month, how much salary do you get a month, I think about the problems you should consider for you, what are you doing yourself! Is your brain full of water?
"This subordinate doesn't know, and Lord Lu hasn't said it."
Du Yan's eyes narrowed, Wen Yanbo's question was very knowledgeable, 'The stationing of Dali's army in the future', what does this mean, I just want the Northwest Army to come back and let other armies pass, there is no need to be in such a hurry!
Although Zhang Sheng was promoted by Zhao Zhen, he also had other thoughts about the Northwest Army, and he had left Shaanxi for a long time compared to the Northwest Army.
Zhao Zhen said: "This problem is for the time being, except for the reward of Wangbeihou, after the reward of other senior generals and meritorious people and soldiers is handed over to the military department for verification, and the verification is completed and immediately cashed out to the soldiers." ”
Zhang Sheng replied, but Wen Yanbo didn't want to bypass this topic, he was the head of Xifu, and he had to have an absolute advantage in the army's right to speak, which was why he contacted Zhang Sheng in private.
"The Northwest Army has long been exhausted after two years of campaigning, and the minister thinks that we can transfer the Northwest Army back, first, to reward their merits, and second, the Northwest Army has been led by one person for a long time, which is not in accordance with the rules."
Sure enough, when there is an army that is invincible, many people are uneasy, Wen Yanbo is one of the big troops, including Zhao Zhen, he must also have such thoughts, but he doesn't want to do it so nakedly.
It is not the first time that the emperor has been scolded at the court meeting and cannot come to power, Comrade Zhao Zhen touched his nose in embarrassment, no matter how strong the strength is, the country still has to rely on these people to govern together, he can't do it alone!
"Then give me your views on the proposal made by the Privy Councillor."
Hu Su absolutely obeyed Zhao Zhen's orders, and he asked: "Wen Shumi wants to transfer the Northwest Army back, then transfer it there, Dali sends that army, whether to send the forbidden army or the border army, and the other armies can clean up the current mess, don't be self-defeating at that time." ”
Do you say that Wen Yanbo dares to guarantee 100% of his life? He didn't dare, the combat strength of other armies is first of all unknown, from Yang Huaiyu's words, they can find that Dali still has the strength to fight, if the kind of thing Hu Su said really happens, Wen Yanbo, you put forward such a statement, then you must bear all the consequences of this matter.
Liang Shi stood up tremblingly, and many people involuntarily stood a little farther away, for fear that this old guy would touch porcelain, but no one could ignore his existence.
"We still have to consider the feelings of the Northwest Army, we are in the capital, they are in Dali, and there are some things that we may not know the inside story. We can't let the hearts of those who spill their blood chill. ”
It's okay if the old guy doesn't speak, but if he opens his mouth, he will die, and there are many people included in this, including Zhao Zhen's defensive layout of Dali last time, since someone started this head, it proves that there are others who are not satisfied, not just one person.
Zhao Zhen's pupils contracted, this situation is not what he likes to see, it is not a big deal to replace the Northwest Army, but some people are dissatisfied with their decision, it is a big deal.
Song Qi said: "The rotation of the Northwest Army is necessary and imperative, it has nothing to do with individuals, this is a national policy, and it is not up to people to override laws and rules, this is not for us to target a certain person." ”
Today is quite a bit of a needle-to-wheat taste! Song Qi's strong counterattack made Wen Yanbo see some hope again, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and Zhao Zhen has a headache because he doesn't know who to listen to.
The stalemate still has to be opened, He Shaoyuan knew that it was time for him to stand up, he said: "Let's take a compromise method, we can let some of the soldiers come back first, give them a buffer time, and the soldiers behind can also accept it psychologically, how does the emperor feel." ”
Lu Zifei thought about being a shopkeeper by himself, and when his son could adapt to the bumps on the road, he would return to the capital, but as a result, troublesome things followed one by one, he didn't make a decision, and no one dared to take over in Dali!
Yu Jing took a small notebook and said: "How to deal with the father and son of the Gao family, whether to escort them back to Bianjing or." ”
Lu Zifei looked at everyone's reactions and said, "Are you going to take care of their food when you take them back?" Now Dali is the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, Gao Zhikai is a thief, and the laws of the Great Song Dynasty punish the thief. ”
Yu Jing said: "The door is full of beheading, and all the women are filled into the sect. ”
"That's it, but you can also consider it as appropriate, forget about children under the age of ten, and the rest of the people will be dealt with according to the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, don't you think it's a problem for the emperor to keep them?"
Gao Zhikai is a special existence, not a king but a king, Zhao Zhen is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, if he doesn't kill him in Dali and return to the capital, maybe he can really let him live, Lu Zifei will not leave himself with this hidden danger.
A word of life and death describes Lu Zifei at this moment, hundreds of people up and down the Gao family, Lu Zifei only moved his mouth, and the Gao family in Dali is gone, which is why the world is crazy about chasing power.
Gu Longhe said the second thing they needed Lu Zifei to call the shots, which was a topic they couldn't avoid.
"The Tusi institution is more difficult to deal with than the Gao clan, and their words are still very deterrent at the grassroots level."
Lu Zifei took a sip of local tea, his bitter expression was hideous, as if he had eaten something that he shouldn't eat, and the recorder on the side gave him a cup of boiling water to rinse his mouth to get better.
"I don't seem to remember that the official position of the Great Song Dynasty has the title of Toast! Let me repeat again, this is now the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are standing in our own country, understand? If someone still wants to be a toast and is not convinced and wants to rebel, you ask him to come to me directly. ”
Yu Jia said: "I am afraid that this will arouse the anger of the people, many places in Dali are governed by the patriarch, and the clan rules are what they are afraid of, and the official decrees are not binding on them." ”
Lu Zifei said with a smile: "Xiushan County and Shicheng County, why haven't I heard that Tusi disobeys our discipline, you are all old officialdom, if you don't understand this, I suggest you go to those two places to study hard." ”
Yu Jing glanced at Lu Zifei quickly with disdainful eyes, the land that your two disciples killed in Shicheng County and Xiushan County is about to turn red, you are embarrassed to let us people learn, who wouldn't kill people.
Gu Longhe said: "After all, there are only two counties in those two places, and we are now facing the entire territory of Dali, which is more than ten times more difficult, and adults should also take this into account." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Since you want to move the knife, then move it in place at one time, don't do it a little today, a little tomorrow, the last look, there is no effect at all, one time in place is my request, you do according to this requirement, I am responsible for the problem." ”
Lu Zifei is a quick knife to cut through the mess today, as long as it does not involve the rules, he will make a final decision, these people are too deeply corroded by feudal society, when it is time to take action yourself, you are timid, and you can't become a big climate.
Yu Jing said: "The last question, what should I do with the remaining army in Dali now, whether to disband on the spot or continue to stay." ”
This Lu Zifei really has to think about where they go, the remnants of the small group are nothing, but the hundreds of thousands of troops are different.
Auxiliary in Annam is an example, because of a little mercy, Annam's local forces have repeatedly rebelled, and these hundreds of thousands of people dare not kill them all, and a way to get the best of both worlds is needed.
