Chapter 581: Gan Xianggong died
In the city of Bei'anzhou, the Khitan people are crying and shouting, strong men are howling, and women and children are sad.
The defeat of the country, under the nest, how can it be home?
The iron-clad soldiers, who have no human mercy, only the heart of iron and stone, Gan Xianggong wants all the valuable things in this city, even if he kills people, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he must collect all the valuable things.
Even if the woman was wearing silk and satin, she had to take it off and tie it to a wooden stick, layer upon layer, like a silk horse.
The soldiers also said with a fierce face: "The silk silk of your Liao people was given to me by my Great Song Dynasty, and I have to get it back today." ”
There is a certain truth in this, Song sent money and silk to Liao every year, and now the military man who said this is naturally in a state of mind.
You can do without linen, and you must take all the silk and satin away. Not to mention the jewelry on the woman's body.
If it is a family that seems to have a little wealth, then it is even more necessary to torture and ask where the family hides money, preferably if there is, if not, it does not matter if it is killed.
Gan Xianggong didn't enter the city, but just watched more and more belongings being transported to Jiangtai, and then said lightly: "It's not enough, it's far from enough, how can there be only such a little property in a state city?" ”
Di Yong, who had just come back, immediately frowned and entered the city again.
The tragic situation in the city that followed was indescribable.
Tens of thousands of grassland light horsemen gathered again, had a meal, and continued north, aiming at Zezhou City. After Zezhou, it is the Zhongjing Dading Mansion.
To speed up the pace of some time, at this time, most of the main forces of the Liao State went straight back to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing from the grassland, and it was almost time to start deploying troops to arrange the defense line.
Zhongjing Dading Mansion must be taken, and if Zhongjing is taken, the Liao people's defense line can be divided, and there will be no real obstacle whether it is to march into Liaoyang or Linhuang in the future. Outside the gate, in addition to the city, there is no mouth, and Dading Mansion is already the gateway.
Gan Qi, who was walking on the road, finally received a reply from the imperial court, and was so angry that he scolded: "It's not a pity that the old thief died!" ”
Gan Ba didn't know who Gan Qi was scolding, so he said: "Which old thief is the eldest brother going to kill?" ”
"Rich old thief!" Gan Qi's face was pale, if Fu Bi was on the front line, I was afraid that Gan Qi would have been buried in thousands of ways.
But Fubi is in Bianliang, Tokyo City, and there are too many constraints.
Gan Ba naturally didn't hesitate to say: "Big brother, I'll slaughter this old thief when I go back!" ”
Ganchi really wanted to do that, but it wasn't realistic. I only frowned and thought, how can I kill this old thief?
Conspiracy, murder and arson, Gan Qi is very skilled. If you want to get Fubi, you have to put Fubi on a charge, where is the charge?
Encamped at night, Gan Qi worked hard to write a book, and the content of the book was also very simple, that is, how hard the hundreds of thousands of troops on the front line were fighting, the logistics were already poor, 30,000 stone was just a drop in the bucket, and if no food was distributed, there would be a big disaster! Once the army is defeated, it will inevitably fail!
Fu Bi's crime is also on this official document.
Because Gan Qi really wants to fight a "lost battle" to show the court.
The location of the defeat has been thought of, it is in Dading Mansion, and if the defeat is to be fought realistically, it will cost some lives, and the grassland departments are just the use.
By the time Ganchi was attacking Zezhou, Kumon had already arrived in Tokyo.
Ganqi's war was naturally smooth, but it was to take care of all the departments of the steppe again, some people were unlucky, and some people benefited.
The Imperial Study Room in Tokyo naturally began to have an urgent discussion again. Enlarged meeting of Politburo members, Fu Bi, Zeng Gongliang, Ouyang Xiu, Wang Anshi, Zhao Xu, Sima Guang.
Wang Anshi spoke first: "Your Majesty, Gan Xianggong's front line is tight, and there are tens of thousands of grassland soldiers in his hands, and 30,000 stone grain and grass are really unbearable for a long time. Once the front line runs out of food, the consequences are unimaginable. ”
Zhao Ji naturally read Gan Qi's official document, was anxious, and said: "Then hurry up and borrow, borrow money to raise food, and send it quickly." ”
"Wait, Your Majesty, Gan Xiang is still in Zezhou, only two or three hundred miles away from Dading Mansion. I'm afraid that this battle is about to end, and the war is already coming to an end, so why bother borrowing such a huge amount of money? If the imperial court frequently borrows money to live, it is not a good thing, when the time comes, people all over the world think that the imperial court is reckless, thinking that the imperial court is in danger, once this kind of news is known by those mountain and forest thieves, when the time comes, how can it be controlled? Fu Bi said it earnestly.
There is also some truth in these words, in this era, borrowing money means that life can't go on, and the court can't live anymore.
Zhao Ji was confused when he heard this, and looked at Wang Anshi again.
Wang Anshi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, with a little interest, in exchange for a Dading Mansion, this transaction is a good deal, as long as the Dading Mansion is defeated, Gan Xianggong will definitely pay back the money immediately, it doesn't matter." ”
"Not necessarily." Fu Bi immediately continued: "Think about how much money and land did Gan Xiang get when he laid down Yanyun? The court can get a penny? Where did all this money and land go? You don't need to say much, right? ”
"Fuxiang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that Gan Xianggong will still fill his pockets? Where did the reward of the border generals come from? Yanyun has been preparing for a long time, Datong has been fighting hard again and again, who prepared those grains and grass? This time, Gan Xianggong went on the expedition, but he asked for a penny from the court? Wang Anshi immediately replied, he didn't believe that Gan Qi would embezzle Yan Yun's money.
"Didn't ask for money from the court? So what is it now? Isn't it asking for money now? 300,000 stones, isn't that what you want? "Fu Bi debate is a good hand, in the past, he really wouldn't end up in person, but now, he has no one to charge forward, so he can only end up by himself.
Fighting is the step of Ganqi's steady progress, and it is also the reason why Ganqi is now famous all over the world. Sometimes when you think about it, if Ganchi loses a battle, it is not impossible, and it is not a good thing.
Who told Naganchi to boast of winning all battles? Who made Gan Qi set up such a persona? Things in this world are so simple, and the hearts of people are very skillful.
The higher a person is established, the faster it will collapse. Isn't it a hundred battles won? It's better to really lose the battle, and then see how the people of the world view Ganqi.
As for Liao? is already in decline, even if he wins once, he won't do anything big.
Fu Bi thought very clearly, and he was afraid that Gan Qi would really easily enter the Dading Mansion.
Zhao Ji is a head two big, he is not not smart, but he really has a little knowledge, and if he borrows money, he will owe six million guan, and the annual expenditure of the imperial court is only about 70 million guan, which is still the sum of commercial taxes.
And those that can really be transported to the Tokyo Imperial Court and into the treasury are 10 million or 20 million. Others, pay salaries, pay military salaries, build roads, bridges, canals, schools, etc., most of them can't get to Tokyo, and some of them have to be given even if they get to Tokyo, especially military salaries, which can't be delayed for a moment.
The central government of the imperial court owed a debt of 6 million guan, which means that as soon as the autumn grain came up, almost all of them went, and the salaries of the three provinces, six ministries, two governments and three divisions could not be paid. It is also necessary to disarm the whole country and organize and train a new army, where can this be supported?
Zhao Ji was a little confused in his heart, not that he suspected Gan Qi of anything, but after all, Gan Xianggong had a criminal record, and the court really didn't see a penny of Yanyun's wealth at the beginning.
"Sima Zhongcheng, what do you think?" Zhao Ji asked Sima Guang.
Sima Guang was also embarrassed, on the one hand, he was anxious about Ganqi's war, and on the other hand, he was worried about the degree of support of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this military ration still needs to be raised, so it is better to ...... Why don't you drag the money of the various departments of the imperial court for a month, raise 30,000 stones and send it, and then solve the urgent need. "Sima Guang is generous to others.
"Sima Zhongcheng, do you know how many troops there are on the front line? More than 80,000 soldiers, as many as 100,000 mighty troops and 100,000 victorious troops, as well as horses and livestock, not counting those bereavement rewards. Even if a person eats horse chewing, how much good grain and grass should he eat in a day? In this way, if there is a slight delay on the road, what will be the consequences? Wang Anshi's urgency is in his words.
"Eh, not to mention, Sima Zhongcheng's strategy is the most prudent, the old minister thinks that it should be done like this, not only does not borrow, but also ensures that there is no shortage of food and grass on the front line for the time being, killing two birds with one stone. As long as the Dading Mansion is broken, the army will not be short of food. Fu Bi liked Sima Guang more and more at this time.
There were also Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Yi present, and the two did not speak. Zeng Gongliang opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, otherwise, just borrow this money......
This sentence actually shows that Zeng Gongliang is not very in favor of borrowing money from the imperial court, this is still the limitation of the times, and borrowing money is a low-level thing, not a literati and a gentleman. But Zeng Gongliang has a relationship with Gan Qi, so Zeng Gongliang did not speak out against Gan Qi in the past.
But he actually didn't approve of Gan Qi's method, a prime minister, always fooling the emperor and the court to borrow money, which was really a precedent in ancient and modern times.
So Zeng Gongliang didn't express his opinion on this kind of thing in the past, but this time he still expressed a little opinion, the reason is very simple, he doesn't want Gan Qi to really lose the battle because of the grain and grass. This was after a lot of weighing and deciding, Zeng Gongliang opened this golden mouth.
"Zeng Xiang, I have never heard you say so helplessly in the past, since you are helpless, it is worried in your heart. If you are worried, why do you say this? Fu Bi saw Zeng Gongliang's mentality.
Zeng Gongliang shook his head: "It's still ...... after all."
"Your Majesty, let's raise grain and grass first, without further ado." Fu Bi interrupted Zeng Gongliang's words, also because Zeng Gongliang's words were not so sure.
The embarrassed emperor looked at Sima Guang, looked at Fu Bi, thought about Gan Qi's words, and nodded.
In fact, Gan Qi can also guess the things in the court, and with the experience of the last time, he also knows it this time. In fact, it's just in the middle of it, aren't they all looking forward to losing the battle?
Why not lose a battle? The key is who is responsible after the defeat, and how to create public opinion is the key.
As for the character design? Isn't the character also made? What's more, you can also have a crisis public relations, dump the pot, Gan Qi will. What's more, Gan Qi won't really be defeated, Dading Mansion must be in the bag, won't this win again?
Zezhou was broken, there were still 1,7800 shells left, and Gan Qi came to Dading Mansion, one of the capitals of the Liao State.
At the pre-war meeting, Gan Qi did not discuss with many generals, and directly arranged: "The mighty army is camped in the north, and if the Liao have reinforcements, they must be repulsed." The various departments of the grassland attacked the city from the south, and put the east and west sides in the state of attacking from the north to the south, and there were deficiencies in the encirclement, so that the Liao people who wanted to escape escaped some of them, only chasing the frame, not chasing people. The projectile is limited, there are not many, this time it has to be saved, so build more long ladders. ”
Many generals were ordered, including two leaders of the steppe tribes, one Zhaowu lieutenant Torta, and one Zhaowu lieutenant Zarihe.
Under the military order, it is actually Ganqi's layout. The mighty army went to the north, that is, to cut off the back road of Dadingfu, even if the Liao reinforcements came, there would not be many, and they would inevitably be repulsed, which was also a strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements.
The various units of the steppe attacked the south, to put it bluntly, climbed the city wall, and the artillery was released from time to time to express concern. If you can't climb up, you will naturally have to suffer some grievances, and it is best to let the various departments accuse each other of not fighting effectively, and then Gan Xianggong will be furious, and he will give some unlucky ghosts a beating in a daze.
No, it's a failure. Dading Mansion could not be attacked for a long time, the sergeants of the army ate once a day, they were so hungry that they were unable to fight, and they were ready to withdraw the army.
Just like the report of Gan Xianggong in the midst of the siege: "The minister Gan Dao wept blood and worshiped my emperor Sheng'an, the army was in danger, I was afraid that it would be difficult to meet His Majesty again, I thought very sadly, and I was speechless." The situation is so far, the crime of the minister, with 120,000 troops, the lone army is deep, the momentum of the indomitable forward, the army is fast, breaking through the Liao Zhongjing, based on the east and west of Liao, can control the Liao no longer rise the day, but what ...... However, the army has come to this point, the grain and grass are difficult to eat, the first 30,000 stone grain and grass, a drop in the bucket, and the last 30,000 stone grain and grass have not arrived for a long time. The soldiers eat a day, their hands and feet are weak, they can't be defeated, the Liao reinforcements are coming, they don't dare to retreat, if they retreat, they will be followed and killed by the leather room, and the consequences are unpredictable. If the minister reports to the country here today, I hope that His Majesty will work hard to strengthen the country and the army, and attack the Liao people again. Minister, Gan Qi Gan Daojian, say goodbye here! I am not afraid of life and death, I only wish that the society will last for ten thousand years, and the country will continue forever! ”
To send this letter, you have to send a cronie, such as Ganba. General Gan Bagan, that is to see the army attacking the city one after another, with heavy casualties, and even more people are hungry and thin, and they led dozens of horsemen to break through, and arrived in Tokyo, covered in blood, only three or five remaining.
Gan Ba, I have to bring the truth to Tokyo, so that everyone in the world knows that Gan Xianggong is under siege and cannot advance or retreat. Why did the big win come to this? General Gan had a text and the truth, so he asked the court why there was not enough food and grass?
Gan Xianggong is in danger, I'm afraid that he will die, God is jealous of the talent, woo hoo lament!
