In the summer of the third year of Jingkang, Hebei West Road, outside Xiangzhou City, the training camp.

"Zhang Xianggong, the grain, grass and silver in the army, thanks to you, this official represents the soldiers of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army, thank you here."

Wang Song said this on his lips, but he thought in his heart, this is all the grain and grass supplied by the imperial court to the army, what does it have to do with you scholars. Everywhere, as if the army and himself were praying for them.

"The king's words are serious."

Zhang Jun arched his hand, his face was calm and silent.

"This is the responsibility of the lower officials, and the minister does not need to thank him."

Wang Song nodded slightly to the other black-faced civil official sitting below, and then stopped speaking.

Don't speculate for more than half a sentence, these scholars, since they came to this land of Hebei, they don't seem to have anything serious to do except block him.

"Wang Xianggong, the lower officials want to know, when will they be able to wave their troops to the Northern Expedition? You must know that in the autumn and winter, the Jin people will go south, and it will be even more difficult to recover the lost land in Hebei. ”

The black-faced civil official was unwilling to be lonely and took the lead in opening the topic.

Wang Song's face immediately sank.

The training of recruits is only more than a month, if you go out at this moment, not to mention the hot weather, there is no reason to be invincible against the cavalry of the Jin people in a hundred battles with a rabble.

"The training of recruits has just begun, and if we send troops in a hurry at this moment, with the elite of the Jurchens, it will be difficult for our army to win."

Wang Song patiently explained, reluctantly suppressing the anxiety and dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Besides, the official has already marched north, and many of the lost cities have also been reinforced. As for the places where the Jin people and soldiers are hoarding, I am afraid that the whole army of the Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army will not know the victory or defeat. ”

The three towns of the Northland, including Zhending Mansion, and the Jin army are gathered, and these recruits under him are now attacking, unless he is crazy.

"Wang Xianggong's soldiers are wide, and they are barbarians, so why bother with it."

The black-faced official said coldly: "Outside Bianjing City, Wang Xianggong used 40,000 rabble to fight against more than 100,000 Jurchen elites, and he still didn't fall behind, why is it that today, 30,000 new soldiers with complete armor can't compete against tens of thousands of Jinren, isn't it surprising?"

Zhang Jun also said coldly: "I'm afraid that Wang Xianggong wants to protect his life, and he no longer has the heart to die that day, which is no wonder." However, His Majesty looked through the autumn water in the city of Tokyo, and only hoped to see the king regain the lost land. ”

The anger in Wang Song's heart suddenly reached its peak.

No wonder the Jin people went south, the officials and troops of the Great Song Dynasty lost their underwear, and these arrogant and ignorant rats presided over the overall situation, how fortunate the Great Song Dynasty was!

"If the two of you want to follow the story of Xu Han's forced seed master, you have found the wrong person. This official will play the Son of Heaven later, and see if it is the will of the imperial court or the intention of the two of you to move the army north. ”

After Wang Song finished speaking, he looked at the two people in front of him, but found that these two ministers were both calm and light-hearted, and they were not moved by their words at all.

Wang Song was secretly angry in his heart. It seems that Zhao Huan, under the brainwashing of the courtiers led by the emperor Geng Nanzhong, is already in a daze, and he began to have the idea of adventurous.

The sergeant came in to give a report, and then Ma Kuo sweated profusely and walked in.

"What are you talking about, Wang Lintui, the governor of Zhaozhou, said that there is no food in the city and there is no way to provide disaster relief?"

Wang Song's eyes widened, and the anger that had just been suppressed in his heart suddenly rushed up again.

"Back to Xianggong, not only that, but Wang Lin also ordered that the fleeing people were not allowed to stay in the city, otherwise they would be dealt with in detail. When the lower officials came out, there were many people's heads hanging on the city, and they were obviously not Jurchens. ”

Ma Kuo, who is from the northwest, is also a heroic and righteous person, and he is obviously indignant about such injustices.

Wang Song slapped the case table angrily, and shouted angrily: "This faint official is so heartbroken and mad, he dares to kill the people under the rule of my Great Song Dynasty, who gave him the dog guts!"

"Wang Xianggong, whether Wang Zhizhou killed innocents indiscriminately is not your subordinate Ma Xuanzan. According to the lower officials, Wang Zhizhou has always been a humble gentleman, diligent in government and love for the people, and is not a vicious person. Wang Xianggong is still more cautious. ”

Zhang Jun, the Hebei envoy sitting on the chair on the left, said a string of words softly at this time, which made Wang Song stunned for a while.

Then, another black-faced civil official beside Zhang Jun also sneered:

"Ma Xuanzan, it seems that you went to Zhaozhou to investigate, it seems that you are in a hurry, what you see and hear is only your words, whether you have personal revenge, whether it is ill-intentioned, it is not yet known. You have been trapped in a fan several times, and you are no longer clear, so don't attack the officials, and be smiling and generous. ”

Ma Kuo's face turned red, and he was speechless for a while.

Because of his resistance to the Jin, he was defeated and captured several times, and the Jin people did not kill him because they knew him and knew that he was the Song Chen of the Jurchen several times. He tried a lot of hard work to escape, but he didn't expect it to become an excuse for these people to frame him.

"Ma Xuanzan was a gallbladder in his life, and he was hot because of His Majesty and the Great Song Dynasty, and he was dedicated to the court, and almost died on the battlefield of resisting Jin several times. This official believes that he is innocent and is the hero of my Great Song Dynasty. ”

After Wang Song finished speaking, he snorted lightly.

These scholars and doctors are really human-faced and beast-hearted, and even the fighters against gold can insult and trample on them at will, what else in this world they dare not do?

In a person's heart, there is no reverence for heaven and earth, and there is only profit in his eyes.

Ma Kuo's eyes looked at Wang Song, and his eyes showed gratitude.

The black-faced official sneered, looked at Wang Song, and arched his hand.

"Wang Xianggong, I heard that you have countless industries in Guzhen, iron mills, stone coal, and I also heard that you are killing people in Cizhou and killing officials without permission, all because they have touched your interests, yes or no?"

The black-faced officials had a sneering look on their faces, and their words were extremely harsh.

"The property under the name of Wang Xianggong is all owned by my Great Song Dynasty court, and Wang Xianggong takes it as his own, isn't it a fake public benefit, blinding the court, and deceiving the Son of Heaven?"

As soon as the black-faced official's voice fell, Zhang Jun also shook his head and said: "The firearms needed in the Wang Xianggong army are all from his own workshop, and it is difficult for outsiders to see his appearance. Wang Xianggong not only concealed it from the people and soldiers, so he made a fool of himself, saying that it was taken from the heavenly fire, but also kept his mouth shut about His Majesty and the court, and cherished himself, I am afraid it is difficult to justify it. ”

Wang Song couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart. These secrets in the army are only known to a few old people and senior officers in the army, and they are unexpectedly mixed with people, and they still leak out.

Zhang Jun and these people can know about this matter, they must have put a lot of effort into the investigation, and it seems that these people in the DPRK and China have bad intentions towards themselves.

"Two ministers, you have inquired carefully. But in my Great Song Dynasty, how many people have no property, and who is not a group of wives and concubines?"

Wang Song sneered, since he had torn his face, he would never sit back and wait to be killed.

"The industries in Hebei were all purchased by the official two years ago, so how can they be said to be public and private? As for firearms, in the past two years, the official has been improving them to make them more powerful, and even so, there are still 20% of the earth-shattering thunders that cannot be exploded. The imperial court also tried to produce firearms, but finally had to give up. The industry under the name of this official, the weapons, armor and firearms made are all supplied to the army free of charge, what do you want to do with this official now, is it to work hard and develop firearms, or is it generous and selfless? ”

He looked at Zhang Jun and the black-faced official, and said in a cold voice: "Huang Xin and Song Qiang, as officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, arbitrarily killed the people and expropriated violently. Why, could it be that the two of them have an old relationship with Huang Xin and Song Qiang, and they also want to pretend to be public and private to deceive Shengcong? ”

"You...... What nonsense!"

Zhang Jun's face turned red and he almost got up.

"Nonsense?"

Wang Song sneered, darkened his face, and said sharply: "You two are going around in the army to help soldiers, fanning the flames, and spreading rumors and making trouble, do you think that this official is easy to bully?" If you don't restrain yourself, even if the Son of Heaven doesn't blame you and others, don't blame the officials for showing no mercy!"

Seeing Wang Song's pale face, the black-faced official couldn't help but sweat on his forehead, but Zhang Jun was furious, stood up "Teng", and shouted loudly.

"Wang Song, hurry up and kill the official, otherwise the official and you will not die!"

The black-faced official hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Jun's arm, and said in a loud voice: "Zhang Xianggong, don't be impatient, don't be impatient!"

Ma Kuo also stepped forward quickly and persuaded: "Xianggong, don't be impulsive, you missed the Northern Expedition!"

He turned his head and stepped forward to bow to Zhang Junsu.

"Several ministers and officials inquired in the city, Wang Lin was the governor of Zhaozhou, and he was cruel and murderous to the people of the Song Dynasty, but he was afraid of the Jurchens like a tiger, and wanted to escape several times. This may not be enough to believe, the merits of the case, or wait for the facts to speak. ”

Zhang Jun glanced at Wang Song coldly, stood up with a black face, bowed solemnly, and walked away, followed closely by the black-faced official.

Although Zhang Jun is the Hebei envoy appointed by the emperor, he will not be able to act arbitrarily, after all, Wang Song's official rank is there, and it is related to the Northern Expedition, if he angers Wang Song, I am afraid he will not be able to eat and walk around.

Hebei has a population of millions, strong folk customs, and a strong spirit of martial arts, but the training of the army can form today's scale, and Wang Songqi's influence is definitely a great contribution. But this does not mean that Wang Song can hold this army in his hands.

The Great Song Dynasty lasted for 170 years, using literature to control the military, in the final analysis, not just to avoid the disaster of its feudal towns, they scholars, let alone let Wang Song, set this precedent.

Seeing the two leaving, Wang Song retracted his gaze, and he sat in the position, depressed.

"Xianggong, maybe you are disappointed and aggrieved in your heart, but this is the reality, with literature and force, this law has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and cannot be changed."

Wang Song let out a long sigh. The Hebei Loyal and Righteous Army has not yet been formed, the civil servants are already eyeing each other, and even the king is secretly suspicious.

Perhaps, he can delegate power to Yue Fei, but in his heart, he always feels a little unwilling.

"Ma Xuanzan, Zhang Jun and others, don't take the words of Zhang Jun and others to heart, no matter what, you are my Wang Song's most trusted friend, you can rest assured!"

Wang Song said in a deep voice, his tone sincere.

Ma Kuo's heart was hot and he shed tears.

"Ma Kuo, thank you!"

"Okay, okay, you and I, the people of the horse leather shroud, don't be like this child."

Wang Song smiled slightly, enlivened the atmosphere, and diverted the topic.

"Ma Xuanzan, tell me again, what is the matter in Zhaozhou City?"

No matter what the situation is, it is a matter of local stability and the life and death of the people, so he naturally has to go all out.
