Chapter 46: North Up and South Head

North or south, south then north or north and then south?

Whether it is Wang Pu's "All the way to attack, starting from the change, today only Wu Yitu", or Zhao Pu's "Taiyuan is the northwest two sides, so that in one fell swoop, then the two sides of the trouble, I deserve it alone." Why don't you stay and flatten the countries", Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin established the country, first in the south and then in the north, and the situation is similar to the situation faced by the loyal and righteous army today.

Lianghe, Central Plains, Shaanxi, Shandong, north of the Qinling Mountains of Huaishui, since the Jurchens invaded the Song Dynasty in the south, the soldiers were in trouble, and the emptiness was hidden. Financially, it is indeed more reasonable and feasible.

The land of Yanyun and the grassland outside the Saiwai, the bitter cold land, the financial help of the loyal and righteous army is not obvious, but the labor and mobilization of the people, the lack of national resources.

But the land of Yanyun, the barrier of the Central Plains, does not attack Yanyun, and the sword of Damocles on the head of the loyal army will always exist, which makes it difficult to sleep.

Autumn is getting cooler, and the Jurchens, who have not yet reached the trapping beasts, will go south at any time and cannot be delayed any longer.

Can the invincible loyal and righteous army that is invincible in the north and south and fighting on two fronts withstand the pressure of the enemy on its belly and back?

This is a battle for the survival of the nation.

Alone, when encountering major things, he is often dictatorial, and now, it is time to make a decision.

Silently picked up a cup of tea, handed the tea to his mouth, but forgot to drink it.

Fighting on two fronts, or the army can, but the taxes imposed on the people may have to starve the people, and this is the dilemma that the loyal army is currently facing.

Desperate for military force, everything is for logistics, everything is for silver, and everything is for national strength.

Putting down the teacup, walking to the window, looking out of the window, the soldiers coming and going, they were all armored, dark and strong, and their faces were all smiling confidently. Everyone knew that the army was about to go on a northern expedition, but no one was afraid, but everyone was full of confidence.

The soldiers are strong and strong, and the soldiers are in the world, which may be the capital of the loyal and righteous army that can dominate the world.

"Yang Zaixing, go out with me."

Walking on the boulevard, looking at the happy pedestrians on the street, the lively answers, the peaceful life, and feeling the love of people's life......

Several elementary school students were carrying school bags on their backs, holding hands, and were elated, and it seemed that it was time for school in the afternoon.

The mother held the child and greeted acquaintances from time to time, and the child's face was innocent.

A team of soldiers led horses and held guns, everyone was in high spirits, full of spirit, and the expressions on their faces were full of confidence......

I don't know that the sound of martial arts training coming out of that martial arts hall is sonorous and powerful, and many of them may one day enter the army and become soldiers of the country.

Clean roads, lively shops, good security, these are some of the things he has always wanted to achieve, not only in Hebei, in Shaanxi, in Sichuan, but in the whole of China.

Open up the wisdom of the people, advocate the style of martial arts, and stimulate people's pride in civil affairs and national awareness. After years of hard work, it has achieved initial results.

The nation must be rich and strong, the country must be strong, the army must be invincible, and the people must be a new generation of Chinese people. What he does today must and must be richly rewarded.

Rich country and strong army, for this goal, the loyal and righteous army conquered the south and the north, destroyed Xia Pingqi, and defeated the Jin people, behind all this, is the high taxes imposed on the people of Lianghe, Shaanxi, and the Central Plains, and the people are starving and tightening their belts.

In addition to being able to eat enough and children can go to school for free, Tian Fu, the monopoly system of salt and iron tea and wine under the rule of the Xuanfu Division has greatly eased the finances of the Xuanfu Division, and the monopoly income of salt and iron tea and wine accounts for more than half of the financial income of the Xuanfu Division. Although this state control of monopoly resources has promoted economic development and ensured stability in various localities under the rule of the Xuanfu Division, the burden on the people's livelihood has greatly increased.

There is no way to do it. long

Years of foreign wars, in exchange for the peace of the north, the people also suffered greatly. Those who committed suicide, those who hanged themselves, those who drank medicine, and many poor families, because of the heavy tax burden, ended up their lives or embarked on the road of no return.

However, the victories in foreign wars covered up all the contradictions under the rule of Xuanfu Division. While the people were cheering for one victory after another, the national pride and patriotic fervor also reached a climax, and it was logical that all the discordant factors were buried under the huge patriotic public opinion.

Even if the people have any dissatisfaction with the government, everyone is full of love and reverence for Wang Song. In their opinion, everything Wang Xianggong did was right, and the decrees of the Xuanfu Division were all for the people, but the officials below just recited the wrong scriptures.

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer. It is disturbing that the people are miserable. ”

Wang Song frowned slightly, faintly unhappy in his heart.

"Xianggong, this is all a fanzi's evil. When we go north in autumn, our army must attack the thieves and recapture what belongs to my Song people!"

Wang Song nodded, thoughtful.

Even if the Jurchens are solved, there are Goryeo, Cochin, Japan, and even the distant Americas and African continents. At that time, it can really be regarded as a reckless army.

At that time, it will not only feed the war with war, but may have to adopt a colonial-style way of rule.

It excites him just thinking about it. Overseas colonization is needed, and the super rogue power of later generations may not appear in the long river of history.

"Wang Xianggong is here!"

When Wang Song came to a restaurant to eat, finally, some people recognized him.

The street was like a fried pot, and countless people ran over, and they circled around and occupied the entire periphery of the restaurant, surrounding the restaurant in the middle.

Advertise, it's really good, it's worth pretending, after all, you can cache to read books and read aloud offline!

Yang Zaixing and several guards nervously protected Wang Song, but he gently pulled them away.

"Folks, how are you?"

Wang Song walked to the window, smiled and waved to the people below.

"Wang Xianggong!"

"Long live Wang Xianggong!"

The people below, men, women, and children, all let out thunderous cheers, and everyone's faces turned red, and shouts came and went.

"Folks, listen to me."

Wang Song pressed his hand, and the following immediately became silent.

"Over the years, the Loyal and Righteous Army has fought in the south and the north, and there have been many battles, and the burden of the villagers has been heavy, so I apologize to everyone here."

Wang Song bowed deeply, from the bottom of his heart.

"Long live Wang Xianggong!"

"Wang Xianggong!"

The people below rejoiced again, and some of them shed tears for the joy of having such a wise consul.

"Folks, everyone will work hard for a few more years. When the fan is extinguished, everyone will have a good life, and our children and grandchildren will be able to live a better life. Believe it or not? ”

"Faith!"

"We believe in the king!"

The cheers and cheers of the crowd, the excited smiles and tears on his face, made Wang Song's heart surge.

"Everyone's gone! Everyone is busy with their own things, otherwise they won't be able to walk around on this street, and Wang Xianggong won't be able to eat!"

Yang Zaixing shouted loudly. Many people were reluctant to leave, and many stood by the streets, apparently waiting for Wang Song to come down and take a few more looks.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a back door here?"

Wang Song shook his head. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat this meal today. People kept coming in the store, looking like they were eating, but they actually wanted to meet their own celebrities.

Out the back door, through a secluded alley, finally to another street.

As soon as he returned to the Xuanfu Division, before he could take care of eating, the guards had already hurried in.

"Xianggong, south

The news is coming, six hundred miles urgently. ”

Wang Song was slightly startled, took the official document from Yang Zaixing's hand, and unfolded it.

After reading for a long time, Wang Song put down the official document, frowned, and did not speak. Yang Zaixing felt a huge anger from Wang Song's face.

The guards next to him were all nervous. Recently, Wang Song seems to have been silent a lot. Some people subconsciously feel that maybe something big is going to happen again.

"Xianggong, what happened to him?"

Yang Zaixing couldn't hold back any longer, and couldn't help but ask out loud.

"See for yourself."

Wang Song tapped lightly on the table. Yang Zhenxing picked up the official document on the table and read it.

"How unreasonable! Yang Mi, a thief, how could he be so arrogant, isn't he afraid that my loyal army will move south? ”

Yang Zaixing was furious, the muscles on his face contorted, and he was obviously extremely angry.

Yang Qi's troops plundered merchant ships and killed and injured more than 200 escort sergeants, which was tolerable and unbearable.

Wang Song's eyes were gloomy. Yang Qi occupied Yangzhou and Jiangning, cut off the sea mouth and the Jiangnan trade route, and sure enough, while affecting the foreign trade of the loyal army, the conflict between the two sides was inevitable.

"Xianggong, Yang Mi's approach is obviously fearless. A war between our army and the Jin people is about to break out, and we can't get out; Second, it relied on countless naval divisions and warships, and the river blocked it, and our loyal and righteous army could not touch it. ”

Li Ruoxu came in and saw Wang Song's face uncertain, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Now, Yang Qibu and the Great Song Dynasty are facing each other in the north of Lin'an Mansion, and Zhao Song has already intended to continue to move south, but he is afraid that the next step will be Guangxi. At this time, if the loyal and righteous army fought with Yang Qi's army, wouldn't it be a cheap bargain for the Great Song Dynasty in vain.

In this way, how can the loyal and righteous army take over the world? It is really unwise to drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and the wolf has not been eaten yet, so it is really unwise to rush to kill the tiger!

"Xianggong, no poison, no husband. Merchant ships can enter the sea from Huaishui, at this moment, it is not appropriate to clash with Yang Qibu, our army continues the northern expedition, and when the land of Yanyun is restored, it is not in a hurry to clean up Yang's army. ”

Li Bao, the commander of the water division, is not recommended to fight with Yang Qibu at this moment, so as not to miss the great cause of the Northern Expedition.

"The Great Song Dynasty, how did it get to such a point?"

Wang Song sighed softly and opened his mouth.

"Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, why are they all disappearing at this moment? Do they not even have the power to protect themselves? ”

Seeing that Wang Song did not mention going south, Li Ruoxu's heart was stable for half a minute, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, both of whom were born in the Northwest Frontier Army, were good at field warfare and neglected water warfare. Moreover, Zhang Jun has been deposed, and most of the other generals are mediocre. There are countless ships in Yang's navy, and his subordinates are all people on the water, brave and good at fighting, and the ability of this water war is naturally unmatched. ”

Hearing Li Ruoxu's praise of the other party's sailor, Li Bao next to him frowned slightly, and endured not speaking.

"Water People's ......"

Wang Song groaned slightly. If the two sides were to fight, I am afraid that there would be countless casualties at that time.

If it weren't for the critical juncture of the Northern Expedition, not to mention that Yang Qibu took the initiative to provoke, the loyal and righteous army would also find an excuse to take the initiative to start friction with the other side in order to provoke a war.

Just like the "77 Incident", sometimes, the side that takes the initiative to knock on the war needs just a false excuse.

The excuse of attacking merchant ships and killing escort soldiers could not be more appropriate.

It's just that the timing of this excuse is too coincidental.

Need to underestimate the ancients. Those who can leave ink in history must not be easy to follow.

Now, it depends on whether the loyal and righteous army can bear the burden of fighting on two fronts.

Take a step back and open the sky. Maybe now, indeed, is not the best time.
