Chapter 1248 Hebei

Su Yuanzhen said: "Fu Guogong said that governance is the same as cooking, the so-called governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, pay attention to a heat. The dried fish should be done well, not too early or late, but just right. ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "How did I hear Zhang Gong say that Su Mingrun doesn't need to turn over the pot at all, he completely has another way to make dried fish, not to mention the efficiency, and it is convenient, concise and full of taste." ”

Su Yuanzhen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Duke Ming, as long as you don't compare yourself with Guogong, you are not to blame in governance, and you still have some confidence." He could start something else, I asked myself, if he had that ability. ”

"Hebei officials mostly rely on the Han family. In the past, Yuan Zhen didn't dare to act indiscriminately, but because he didn't get the approval of the Han family, it was too much resistance to do it. ”

"Coupled with the continuous floods, droughts, locusts, and cole in Hebei, it has become the first priority to make the people eat."

"In the past few years, the Xiangzhou agricultural model has cultivated countless poultry seedlings for Hebei every year, and the Shanghai Trade Timber and Silk Agency has made the Han family fully benefit."

"The archaeological excavation of Yinxu has made the Han family not only an official family and an economic family in the future, but now it seems that most of the hats of a Wenhua family have also been worn."

"Power, wealth and reputation, since the Han family has all got it, then they still need to stand up for the corrupt officials?"

"The disaster situation for two consecutive years has been suppressed by us, coupled with the continuous supply of Nanhai Road, Hebei has been tightened all these years, and now it has finally loosened."

"I think the heat is almost the same, and after the locusts in the field are controlled, it's time to move the locusts in the officialdom."

"In addition to the heat, there is also measure." Wen Yanbo handed Su Mai's thank you form back to Su Yuanzhen: "Be careful not to make it too big." ”

"It's not too big, the purpose is to do things for them, Situ doesn't know, but I've been tired in the past few years."

After Su Yuanzhen finished speaking, he smiled and said: "I am from Southwest Yi, and I am destined to be His Majesty's lonely minister in this life, of course I should do this offending thing, good man, I want to ask Situ." ”

Wen Yanbo stroked his white beard with satisfaction: "Su Wuyi, who was angry in Zhengzhou back then, became a fly when he arrived in Hebei, and the old man thought that there was something wrong with the water and soil of the Jiao River." ”

"Now it seems that the forbearance of no blame is really the true inheritance of Su Mingrun!"

"But forget about the good man, the old man is used to being a bone all his life, and when he changes his face when he is old, others won't believe it?"

"So I have to come to this offense, good man, you keep it for yourself!"

Su Yuanzhen got up and saluted Wen Yanbo respectfully: "Yuanzhen thanks Situ for his virtue." ”

……

I am ugly, and I will see you in the daytime.

When Zhao Ji received Su Mai's thank you, he was furious and summoned Wang Qi and Cai Qu to question.

Wang Jue's face turned pale with fright, but Cai Cheng said calmly: "Your Majesty, since Xining, the new law has long been restricted, and Hebei is not governed because of Han Qi's obstruction and local dependence, which leads to the new law not being implemented." ”

"Your Majesty only needs to go down to the Hebei Fourth Road Transport and Pacification Division, and order him to affirm the law and go down to the prefecture and county."

Zhao Ji thought about it right, Hebei Road can be said to be the last piece of territory for the stubborn conservatives, this is a good opportunity!

So he gave an edict to the Hebei Road Transit Division: "The responsibility of the Transit Division is to measure the longitude all the way, the officials and the people, and the inspection and inspection, especially in the pass." ”

"The disaster road recruits food, the displaced people carry out military service, and farmland, water conservancy, and moats, the imperial court reduces the two taxes and gives rice, and counts the price of the state and county servants, and gives Changping Qiangu."

"Zhiwendeng County Su Mai played the county to complain about the disaster and injury did not follow the order, the officials did not follow the edict, excused the excuse, begged to determine the legislative matters in detail, and there was a division of the United according to the Xining since the compilation of the edict, colluding with the dispatch officials to be lazy, whether they can and be corrupt. Publicize it to hear, and it is not allowed to dance and manipulate, resulting in loss of popularity. ”

This edict was directly detained by Wen Yanbo, and since the holy decree did not name any transshipment division, the old man regarded this edict as if it was issued to himself.

The old man was the nominal Hebei four-way transport pacification envoy, and this time he really got the sword of Shang Fang, and immediately launched a huge "rectification movement" in Hebei.

For a time, the officials of Hebei Zhulu jumped and ran to Yingzhou to cry.

The political system of the Great Song Dynasty in Hebei was different from other places, and according to the military theory of later generations, it was more like a "war zone".

A theater of operations is an independent or relatively independent battlefield, and it is also a comprehensive system composed of military, political, economic, and geographical conditions, and is a complete regional combat entity.

The Great Song Dynasty now actually has two theaters, one is the "Northwest Theater" against the Western Xia, and the other is the "Hebei Theater" against the Liao State.

Because of the difference in operational urgency, the situation in the northwest and Hebei is different.

The scope of the Song Dynasty's war against Liao included the Hebei East Road, the Hebei West Road, and parts of the Hedong Road, and these three roads were administrative divisions.

Strategically, according to the geography of mountains and rivers and the focus of defense, it is divided into four military routes.

This idea came from Fu Bi, who once proposed in a recital to Renzong: "Set it as the right arm, Cang as the left arm, Ying as the heart, and Beijing as the head corner." These four cities are also the hope of Heshuo.

The remaining fifteen cities are the branches of the finger claws, and they are the messengers of the four cities.

Ding, Ying, and Cang each put a marshal, Beijing put a big marshal, and the remaining fifteen cities belong to Ding, Ying, and Cang, and they all choose to guard it. ”

Later, Cheng Lin and Xia Zhu, the daimyo of the Imperial Palace, improved this strategic thinking, and finally, Emperor Renzong issued an edict:

"Hebei soldiers and horses are divided into four roads.

Beijing, Huaiwei Debo Bindizhou, Tongli Army Baoshun Army, combined into the Daimyo Mansion Road,

Yingmo Xiongba Enji Cangzhou, Yongjing Qianning Baoding Xin'an Army, combined into Gaoyangguan Road,

Town, Xing, Xu, Xiang, Zhao, Cizhou, combined into Zhendingfu Road,

Dingbao Shenqizhou, Beiping Guangxin Ansu Shun'an Yongning Army, combined into Dingzhou Road.

All the generals of the garrison are as they are discussed, but the four roads are placed to appease the envoys. ”

This is the origin of the term Hebei Fourth Road, which is actually named from the perspective of Liao's military defense system.

In terms of strategic intent, this system is quite reasonable and scientific, and it divides the defense of the Song-Liao border, which extends from east to west, into three sections.

The flanks of the three roads rely on each other and support each other, and can rely on natural and geographical barriers, such as mountains, rivers, ponds, and other advantageous places, so that each pacification envoy can concentrate stronger forces on a small front, and play a better defensive effect.

The goal of the first road, Dingzhou Road, is to control the north-south highway at the foot of the eastern foothills of Taihang Mountain.

The westernmost part of the famous "Tangbo Fortification" of the Great Song Dynasty here, and some distance away from the Taihang Mountain, belongs to the combination of the foothills and the plain, and there is no dangerous geographical situation to take advantage of.

The so-called "west of Baozhou to the bottom of the mountain dozens of miles, the death of the pond of the block, the captives can be flattened." ”

"To the east of Baozhou and to the west of the Shun'an Army, there are more than 30 miles of Pingchuan, which runs straight from north to south, and there is no danger."

Therefore, the government of the Northern Song Dynasty gathered heavy troops here, and its troop deployment ranked first among the four roads in Hebei.

The so-called "border defense of this road, heavy troops are all in the protection, fixed." ”

The second road, Zhendingfu Road, is aimed at controlling the famous Flying Fox Pass.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, this road was often used by the Liao people as a passage for southward invasion, and compared with the roads at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain and the Hebei Plain, the role of this "intermediate road" was not much inferior.

Once the Liao soldiers entered from here, they could not only bypass the heavy troops deployed in the Dingzhou area, but also be able to directly insert into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, so the Great Song Dynasty also had to focus on the deployment here.

Fortunately, this road is in the middle of the mountain gorge, and the rugged mountain road has a certain limiting effect on the impact of the Liao cavalry, and the defensive pressure of the Song army here is relatively small compared to the other two roads.

Therefore, while controlling the Flying Fox Pass, Zhendingfu Road also undertook another important task, which was to consolidate the flank of Dingzhou Road, and at the same time build a second line of resistance against the enemy troops coming from Bao and Ding.

The third road, Gaoyangguan Road, aims to control the road between Xiongzhou and Bazhou.

Because of geographical reasons, the famous "Tangbo Fortification" of the Great Song Dynasty appeared here with a broken gap, and the Liao army attacked the Great Song Dynasty several times, all of which returned from this road.

In addition, the Gaoyangguan Road also has to take into account the road from the northern border to Cangzhou, fortunately, that section of the coast, not to mention the swamps, the Yellow River was frequently diverted before, and the Liao army did not dare to come from there, which was not the focus of defense.

The defense focus of Gaoyangguan Road is mainly between the two states. On the opposite side of Gaoyang Pass is the famous Baigou Pavilion of Liao.
