Daojun was distressed when he saw Gao Yu's pitiful appearance, and he also knew that it was very difficult and dangerous to fight pirates, but he was panicked in his heart, and he couldn't help but be angry and disappointed, and looked at Gao Yu's eyes were not good. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gao Yu had already guessed that the emperor would be like this, and he peeked into the emperor's anger, and hurriedly continued the important words.

"Holy Lord, in this battle, our army has suffered heavy losses. The blood of loyal ministers and warriors stained the battlefield, which shocked the world and regretted it. However, in this battle, the pirates with a weak population base paid an even heavier price, not only accumulating nearly 200,000 elite army troops were almost wiped out, but also lost many naval troops. Needless to say, the halal mountain rogue dared to betray my Great Song Dynasty, and as a result, the young and strong men were almost killed and injured, and only escaped the old and weak women and children, these people fled overseas, and there was no man to support the family, how can they live? ”

"In order to invite people to buy people's hearts, pirates have to support these hundreds of thousands of old and weak burdens, carrying heavy burdens, and their forces will inevitably be greatly consumed, but their elites will be lost, and their troops will be greatly reduced. It was the death of these important people that the pirates frantically retaliated, but the losses were exacerbated, and even several core pirate leaders who led the crime against our Great Song Dynasty were also folded in the war, although they robbed Yizhou Mizhou, but it was a trick, in fact, they had almost no land warfare ability, and they did not have the strength to land again and fight with our Great Song Dynasty. ”

After the Shandong War, with the ferocity of the pirates, they went north to rob Cangzhou, but they did not dare to compete with the Liao Kou with the Liao people as the main force, and followed the Liao Kou after the destruction of the Liao Kou to rob the Liao Kou and eat some leftovers, which also shows how huge the pirates' losses in this war were. They only rely on the superiority of ships to pretend to be arrogant and powerful.

In the next few years or even more than ten years, it is possible to train a more combat-effective army when pirates develop well. During this period, there was no strength at all to compete with the Great Song Dynasty, which had many generals and generals, and it was impossible to land on a land plot like this time, which was so unscrupulous as this time. It's just a crime on the sea and on the water.

The pirates have a heavy burden on the population, and they lack the strength to rob our Great Song Dynasty, so they can only go to other weak countries to rob and train troops, and it is difficult to say whether they can regain their strength. My Great Song Dynasty has a strong foundation and many talents, so I can take this opportunity to seize the opportunity to build warships and train the navy, and when the conditions are ripe, I can not only exterminate the thieves on the coastal islands, but also smash the thieves' nests, not only can I take back everything that the pirates have snatched from my Great Song Dynasty, but also rob all the good things that the pirates have robbed from elsewhere, so that the pirates have worked hard for more than ten years to make a wedding dress for our dynasty. ”

Emperor Daojun was most afraid that the pirates would be able to invade Tokyo and threaten his safety, and after hearing this, he realized that although the battle led by Gao Yu was huge, it also spelled out the pirate strength, the Great Song Dynasty was safe, Tokyo was safe, and the boredom in his heart was cleared, staring at Gao Yu's unkind eyes to restore gentleness, and seeing Gao Yu was distressed again.

Gao Yu supported the excuse of exoneration, sweating like an oar, and his whole body was so weak that his eyes were black.

At this time, Bai Juzhong stood up at the right time to help Gao Yu defend and said: "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that although Gao Taiwei has damaged the army, he has achieved the strategic goal. Like fighting the Western Xia thieves, how easy is it to defeat the powerful and arrogant pirates? With such a brilliant achievement, how could it be that there were fewer casualties? ”

He and Cai Jing and other powerful ministers conspired with Gao Yu to murder Jianghuai big families and steal money and grain to tide over the financial difficulties of the imperial court, which is a criminal alliance and a crime. At this time, if you don't stretch out your hand to pull Gao Yu, Gao Yu can't get rid of the sin, and he is unlucky, with Gao Yu's kindness to repay his kindness and revenge, he will bite them and go into the water to be unlucky or even more unlucky.

A friend minister immediately stood up in support: "War is a fight for attrition. If you want to get a big victory at a small price, even the famous generals of the ancient times are difficult to do. “

Immediately, many officials followed suit: "The pirate bones have been severely damaged, and the purpose of conquest and suppression has been achieved, it is not easy for Gao Taiwei, this battle is only a great achievement, how can he be responsible?" ”

"Yes, the inevitable loss of heavy troops after achieving major results in battle, if this is also a crime, then who will dare to let go of the troops in the future? Who dares to fight the enemy? “

Gao Yu's final defense was completely fabricated based on the information revealed by the Mizhou Zhizhou.

It's not that he didn't suspect the Mizhou Zhizhou, and guessed whether there was a hidden conspiracy in the leaked news, but the Mizhou Zhizhou did fight for his life, and the information he heard after returning to Beijing can indeed support the reasons he made up, the most important thing is that he can only insist that he has hit the pirates hard, and he can only say what the Mizhou Zhizhou has revealed.

Otherwise, there will be no great loss, and no matter how much the emperor favors him, he will not want to get rid of his sins and continue to be favored and enjoy glory and wealth.

The magic of this matter is that on the side of Gaoyangguan Road, the situation reported by the border army of Hejian Prefecture and Zheng Juzhong invisibly supports the claim that the pirate's strength has been greatly damaged.

The Yingcang area was obviously so powerful that the pirates were so powerful that the Liao army was looking for teeth all over the place to save the people of Erzhou, but the officials of Hejian Prefecture were either dead or captured, and the dead people, including the commander-in-chief of Gaoyang Guanlu, Wang Zhifu, naturally could no longer open their mouths, and those who were taken overseas could not play. The remaining Gaoyangguan Road Border Army and Cangzhou Zheng Juzhong wanted to turn the crime into credit, but they could only exaggerate the credit and say that they had bravely defeated the Liao Kou and pirates, and whatever they said was what they said, even if the Liao Army and pirates who knew about it stood up and refuted it, it was useless.

The lies that are invisibly interlocking on both sides of Hebei and Gao Yu perfectly support each other's so-called results, and they become true and credible.

What can the court know, which can't see the actual battle situation in the local area and can only sit and wait to listen to the report?

No matter how shrewd Cai Jing and the others were, they would never have imagined that hundreds of thousands of troops could be drugged and all of them were brought down, and in fact, they disappeared without fighting a single battle without damaging the pirates.

They determined that Gao Yu had suffered a great defeat, and guessed that Gao Yu exaggerated his military exploits, but they also believed that the pirate losses would not be light.

The 400,000 young and strong forbidden army is so well equipped, even such a large group of pigs can make the pirates pay the inevitable price.

In fact, even Gao Yu himself believed that the pirate's elite main force was finished at this time, and the results were not achieved by himself, but also by him.

Some ministers recognized and interceded, Emperor Daojun was satisfied with Gao Yu's results, and naturally not only forgave Gao Yu's great crime of annihilating the whole army, affirmed the achievements, but also praised Gao Yu's loyalty and dedication in fighting hard for so long, but he lost so many troops, causing huge losses to the imperial court, and it was not good to reward him at this time when the country was in trouble, so he only let Gao Yu return to his home to recuperate with peace of mind, recuperate and then continue to work hard to serve the country. After the next court, he also thoughtfully arranged for the imperial doctor to go to Gaofu to treat Gao Yu's illness and recuperate.

The imperial doctor did not give it for nothing, and he could see that Gao Yu's injuries were caused by whipping and the like, and it had nothing to do with the wounds of the war, but how dare he say that he offended Gao Yu.

Returning to the emperor was naturally that Gao Taiwei was covered with too many swords, guns and arrows, and his condition was unbearable, which shows how fierce the battle was at that time, how heroic Gao Taiwei was at that time, and it was a miracle that he could come back alive. It was God who took pity on Captain Gao for his loyalty and refusal to take away the pillar of the imperial court, so that Lord Taiwei could continue to do his duty for His Majesty Shengming.

In this way, the imperial doctor's lying also won the satisfaction of the emperor of Gao Yu's benefits. The event completely turned into a happy ending of hello, hello, hello, and everyone.

The mortal sin committed by Gao Yu has turned into smoke, and all that remains is to fight against the great suffering of the disease, and strive to not only survive but also continue to enjoy the glory of power.

Officials visiting Gao Mansion had to wait patiently in line all day long, gifts piled up in several rooms, and the wealth looted by the pirates was quickly replenished.

Gao Yu, who was so poor that he only had the empty shelves of the Taiwei Mansion, was rich again in a blink of an eye.

You see, power is so wonderful.

That's how ironic it is.

But the wealth of the Taiwei Mansion is far from being compared with before, it takes time to recover, the family is empty, and he does not dare to leak a single bit to the outside world, he can't afford to support so many people to continue to consume by receiving gifts for a short time, and he used to rely on the filial piety of the Taiwei Mansion to eat, Gao Yu, like Cai Jing, had to find an excuse to quietly lay off the vast majority of the servants to reduce the burden on the population of the mansion, and he was also firmly concerned about the fact that there might be pirate agents in the mansion, and took the opportunity to clean up and rectify the personnel in the mansion.

Otherwise, Gao Yu wouldn't dare to close his eyes when he slept.

Without the threat of pirates, the war in the north and northwest also stopped, and Emperor Daojun breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had the grievances and anger in his heart that could not be discharged.

Without the triumphant forbidden army to rely on, Zhao Ji was weak in his heart, but he wanted to further learn a lesson to coax and bully Zhao Gonglian, but he couldn't show too much, for fear that Zhao Gonglian would see through his false insidiousness and force him to resign categorically, which would lead to the possible erosion of the Cangbei military, so he had to give up the matter of letting Zheng Juzhong concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of Gaoyang Guanlu, so as to avoid intensifying the contradiction formed by Zheng Juzhong's leadership of Zhao Gonglian.

Hejian Mansion was the most important strategic point to resist the Liao State, and the affairs there could not be delayed, and the army was filled by Zheng Juzhong, but the missing official rule must be made up quickly.

After Zhao Ji weighed it, Qiangang made an arbitrary decision, and immediately issued an edict to transfer Yuan Jingsu Taiwei to serve as the prefect of Hejian Prefecture and the observer of Gaoyangguan Road, and commanded the entire Hebei East Road military, including the Cangbei Fourth Military Prefecture; Quan Bangyan, who was actually in charge of the national education work, was promoted from the third rank to the third rank and the third rank to the second grade, and was awarded a bachelor's degree, and was reappointed as the transfer envoy and the judge of Xuanfu; After the founding of the country, the Shi family's Shi skin, that is, the uncle of the Cangzhou Army's commander Shi Fu Lian, was the secretary of the military department. He also jumped over the level and promoted a more upright and daring official to serve as a squire in the military department, assisting Shi Fu.

Su Yuanjing is also a captain, but he is very different from Gao Yu, the captain.

Gao Yu is in charge of the front of the palace, the guard horse military division, and the guard infantry military division, which are the supreme leaders of the forbidden army in the capital, and actually manages the hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops under the command of the sons of the founding lords and the emperor's trusted and respected generals of the Beijing army, who are responsible for maintaining law and order in the capital, and can be regarded as the direct command of all the forbidden armies except for Gao Yu's military power, and the privy envoy is on an equal footing, and in the heart of the court and the emperor, the actual weight is still above the privy envoy, the commander-in-chief of the whole army.

Su Taiwei is also in charge of the army, but he is only one of the top leaders of the military attache in the name of honor, he has no real power, and he is in charge of miscellaneous affairs that are not sparsely managed, but he also belongs to the soldiers and the army, he is an expert, the level is high enough, the qualifications are strong enough, the person is more upright and daring and loyal to the king, the key is that he has helped Zhao Gonglian, and the relationship between the two is okay.

With such a weighty and knowledgeable boss as the commander-in-chief of Gaoyang Guanlu, he can subdue and control the arrogant generals of the border pass who have been promoted by the new level of great merit and high political quality, which is conducive to leading the border generals to train too many new troops that have just been replenished, and it is expected that the border pass military will be quickly rectified and the defense of Hebei will be consolidated to resist the Liao State, and Zhao Gonglian can't say anything, and he can only endure the dissatisfaction with the deprivation of Cangbei military power by Su Taiwei, who is kind and has a good relationship. There is no strong resignation and reason to refute the superiority that will inevitably arise if Zhao Gonglian is replaced by Zheng Juzhong, so he can only accept being led by Su Taiwei, and he is embarrassed to resist Su Taiwei's order.

Zhao Ji taught him a lesson with the transfer of Su Taiwei, and Zhao Gonglian, who felt that he had become rude, coquettish and resentful, let out a sigh of relief, and he could continue to make good use of Zhao Gonglian to guard the border pass. He was a little proud of this, but he did use the right person when the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs were rotten and unusable.

The Xuanfu Judge is the general in charge of the transportation of military money and grain; The transit envoys are responsible for sending money and grain to the central government in various localities.

When it comes to state finance and military logistics, money and food are no trivial matter, and these two official positions are key positions in the imperial court, and non-trustworthy and capable ministers cannot hold them.

In addition to Zhao Ji's trust in this lonely minister who is dedicated to education, the important thing is that Quan Bangyan is not as leisurely as the central officials usually stay in Tokyo to listen to reports and give instructions, believing that there is no right to speak without investigation, and has always insisted on going down to the field to inspect and supervise, and has worked tirelessly and dangerously to travel around the country, and has traveled all over the country in the Great Song Dynasty for more than ten years. Even the local county magistrates and even the county officials who have a little power are unwilling to go to the poor and remote areas that they have no specific understanding of for generations, and they are willing to go to the field to see and help as much as possible, and they are really loyal and willing to work, and thus they are well aware of the economic development of all parts of the country, the road and transportation conditions and conditions, and the people themselves are talented, want to do practical things, dare to take responsibility, and are the most suitable candidates for the second position.

Moreover, this appointment, the Manchu ministers are not easy to object.

Because Quan Bangyan has indeed paid too much, and he has outstanding political achievements, high hard work, and is qualified and capable of holding a second position, he should also be rewarded, promoted and reused.

Zhao Ji promoted and reused Quan Bangyan in this way, and also implied that he would slap Zhao Gonglian again and get angry.

Back then, Quan Bangyan and Zhao Gonglian fought for the name of Shilin and turned their faces in private, but they were stained with the light of Zhao Gonglian's creation and dedication to the pinyin dictionary, and suddenly jumped from a very poor young civilian scholar to a central official without the imperial examination, and since then the official road has been unimpeded, and he is very dissatisfied with Zhao Gonglian's talent and almost unmatched Shilin fame, but he can't say anything, otherwise he will be infamous for being ungrateful. I hope to overpower Zhao Gonglian's dictionary achievements, in fact, the achievements are there, the fame is there, but the official grade and real power have always been under the younger Zhao Gonglian, and he is still pressed by Zhao Gonglian, which is far inferior to Zhao Gonglian.

This promotion, Quan Bangyan suddenly became a second-class member, overpowering Zhao Gonglian's grade, and in terms of talent and ability, he was also recognized by the imperial court for the title of bachelor, and was in charge of the country's economic and military affairs, and his real power and reuse were much greater than Zhao Gonglian, who could only grasp the economy and military in a corner of the border, and seemed to be more trusted and favored by the emperor than Zhao Gonglian, and finally surpassed Zhao Gonglian.

Zhao Ji used this hand to indirectly attack Zhao Gonglian, and secretly warned the court that it is not without great talent, not only you Zhao Gonglian can take on great responsibilities and do practical things, I don't have to rely on favor and reuse you.

demonstrated his might and slapped his face, Zhao Gonglian couldn't say anything, and he could only suffer a dumb loss.
