Chapter 912: Crying Court

He was in big trouble.

Siege is a bit of a high-tech thing, for the Cham people who are used to fighting barefoot and throwing javelins on the back of elephants is the highest way to fight, the old state city defense system with Song blood is undoubtedly a nightmare.

The first is the elephant stake outside the city.

He asked the elephant army to drag it with a rope, and wanted to pull the elephant stake out of the ground, only to find that the underground part of the stake was longer than the aboveground part.

Moreover, the hateful city defense army inserted bamboo tendons in the mud pillars, so that the elephant stakes became extremely stubborn, dragged until they were crooked, and some of them were broken, which could still play some role.

And all this was carried out within the coverage of the ruthless short crossbow of the blue-clothed army, and on the first day, the Champa army lost more than two hundred people, seven elephants!

That's an elephant! was actually shot to death by the small short crossbow of the blue-clothed army from a hundred paces away!

The human body is even more defenseless under this kind of short crossbow, and the short crossbow with a length of 30 centimeters shoots at the human body, almost all of which go straight to the tail feathers.

The Zhan people quickly adjusted their tactics, cut down bamboo to form a bamboo wall, surrounded the perimeter, and then used knives and axes to cut down elephant stakes and drag them away.

This progress is slow, and the troops defending the city under the leadership of Wang De from time to time out of the city to harass, the blue army of the roasted blue steel armor is simply an unsolvable problem for the Cham people, the military shovel belongs to the king of short soldiers, and it is not too easy to deal with the Cham people who also use short soldiers.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too few personnel, Wang Dedu would have the heart to assault the Chinese army.

Moreover, there is Lao Chen Tian commanding at the head of the city, and the city is unobstructed, so you can avoid the real and the virtual, although the defensive battle of the old state has given up all the periphery and trapped in the lonely city, it has fought just as well.

The command of the Blue Coats relied on the military horn, and different tunes represented different orders, which were completely undisturbed.

The Cham people are different, when they march, they beat the drums here, and the other side of the river gives you gold; When it was time to retreat, there was a banging of gold here, and a frenzied drumming there, which led to an abnormal disorder in the command system.

In the end, there was no way, Gan Dan could only command under the banner, and the Cham army had to turn around and look back while attacking, and the combat strength and morale could be imagined.

In this way, it took nearly a month for the two sides to reluctantly clear a passage to the southwest corner of the city and begin the bloodiest battle for the city walls.

……

Bianjing, Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting.

At this court meeting, the ceremony was a little different.

In response to Zhao Ji's will, Song Minqiu, a direct scholar of Longtu Pavilion, and others detailed the latest Zhengdan palace ceremony.

Later, Song Minqiu combined the rules and regulations of the previous dynasties to summarize the two articles of the "Imperial Conference" and the forty articles of the "Order", which were promulgated by Zhao Ji.

Along with it, there was also the improved "Southern Suburbs Style".

It is mainly aimed at the dresses, etiquette, ceremonial utensils, etc. of the monarch and the courtiers.

For example, "the first three pieces of clothes and the last four pieces of clothes, and now there are eight pieces, no difference between before and after." In addition, the jade and the ribbon and the uniform seal are not as good as the ancient system, and they should be corrected. ”

Another example: "Although the hundred officials are not deacons, they serve the shrine with the court, it is not." When the sacrificial clothes are served, as the system is examined, the five crowns and the knight's clothes are repaired, and the name of each is the crown. ”

Zaichen Wu Chong, Wang Qi, and Governor Yuan Jiang wrote a book, thinking that the meritorious number is also problematic, because it began with the difficulties of Tang Dezong, among which there is the name of "Fengtian Determination of Difficulty", which should not be inherited by the prosperous era, and should be removed from the meritorious number.

Knowing the Privy Council, Feng Jing and others continued to ask, and Zhao Ji issued an edict to agree.

Don't underestimate this matter, this is actually a temptation by Zhao Ji to prepare for a big event.

Now, it seems, there is little opposition from the ministers.

The court meeting was carried out steadily, and the gifts of Jiaozhi County and Meizhou, and the dragon's tooth attracted the attention of all the participants.

There are many kinds of patterns in Jiaozhi County, which can be called dazzling, and the most powerful is the model of Taishan stacked in a pile of jewels and jade.

This is also a strong hint, and the theme of the four words is clearly and prominently - the benefits of sea trade.

The dragon's tooth is a military city, and the sergeants are very simple, and they directly cast a set of chess for Zhao Ji.

The chess pieces are tin, plated with gold and silver, and the soldiers are life-size, and there are universal wheels underneath, which can be pushed on bluestone slabs.

Although the craftsmanship is still a little rough, Zhao Ji likes it very much.

Meizhou's gift was worthless, but rare, and Shen Kuo offered a peculiar ear of rice.

The size of the rice ears is much larger than that of ordinary rice, and the most amazing thing is the length of the straw, which is five meters long.

Shen Kuo ordered someone to weave it into two rice trees, which didn't cost much, but his face was exposed.

This year is the most pleasant year for Zhao Ji since he ascended the throne, the world is ripe, his subordinates are not jumping, the frontier is peaceful, and the great benefits of sea trade have made the Great Song Dynasty breathe a sigh of relief.

Jinghu and Liangzhejiang rice were reduced to 35 wen and one bucket, and Wu Chong was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered Chang to close the position and buy it wantonly, supplying it all the way to Beijing and Hedong and Hebei, and demanded that the purchase price of 40 wen and one bucket must be guaranteed, so as not to hurt the peasants.

The cost advantage of shipping is highlighted, 40 wen a bucket of rice, transported to Hebei but the cost of 45 wen, Hebei transshipment Saaler blossomed, purchased with 55 wen a bucket, also cheaper than in previous years 20 wen a bucket!

800,000 stone of military rations saved the Hebei Road Transit Division 160,000 yuan compared with previous years.

Not to mention that the maritime merchants earned 80,000 yuan, they also got the monopoly right of Hebei salt.

The most "suffering" are the farmers in Jinghu and Liangzhejiang, but in previous years, they were not full of food, but now they are able to sell their own grain, and this alone is a great achievement.

There is a popular game for children in Liangzhejiang Road, that is, a child puts a copper coin on the stone slab, and another child uses his copper coin to throw the one on the ground, if the copper coin on the ground is turned over, it is considered a win.

"Read poetry books and look for Da Su!

Raise money and food, Tanhualang!

The port is closed, and the copper money is overturned!

As soon as Suhu Lake is ripe, the world is big! ”

This is the nursery rhyme that must be sung before throwing money.

Zhao Xuan wears the Zhu group as the Hong, the jade flute, the jade Xuan pure, the vertical jade to five jade through the five algae for the Xuan, the front and back twenty-four, hanging and shoulder-to-shoulder, the surface and the inside are all with the new style of the crown, listening to the courtiers to read the congratulatory table, accepting the praise of the ministers to worship again, the heart is a little trance.

It would be nice if every year was like this year......

At this moment of festivity, harmony and perfection, far away from the periphery of the court, under His Majesty, there was a faint cry.

Wang Qi was reciting his own ode, and was immersed in that literary and brilliant mood, when he felt that something was wrong, and a voice forcibly interrupted the festive atmosphere he had created, and he couldn't help but be annoyed, and the rhythm suddenly became intermittent.

Zhao Ji, who was covered by the crown, made people lose his look, but someone lost his temper at the New Year's court, which is definitely big news!

The courtiers were also shocked to look at each other, and the privy envoy Feng Jing saw that it was not a problem, strode down the hall, and shouted: "Bold! Who is so rude? Didn't you rehearse and explain beforehand?! ”

Taichang Siqing's face turned white with fright, and he crawled on the ground: "Yes...... It was Yang Bu, the envoy of Champa, who wailed loudly at the Great Dynasty Meeting, and couldn't restrain ......"

As soon as Feng Jing waved his hand, the princes outside the hall pounced, grabbed a weeping envoy by the hands and feet and lifted him up in the air, and was about to be sent to a distant place to be imprisoned.

At this moment, the hall rejoiced, and the intermission arrived.

It stands to reason that the emperor should enter the left hall, and then wait for the arrangement of the ceremonial department to start the plot of the second half of the banquet.

As a result, Qi King Zhao Hao hurriedly came down: "Feng Shuxiang, what happened just now?" ”

Feng Jing's face was ugly: "Yiren envoys, don't know how to pay respects." ”

Zhao Hao said: "Your Majesty called in." ”

"Huh?"

Zhao Hao continued: "Your Majesty said that those who dare to cry bitterly at the court meeting will have great grievances, so they are called in to inquire. ”

Feng Jing stomped his feet, and the jade golden cicada on his body swayed: "How can this be made?" In case of conflict, the court will ......"

I saw that Wang Jue also came out: "Your Majesty has a summons, announce that the person who cried bitterly just now will go to the palace." ”
