Chapter 308: Governing Qingzhou

Seeing that the countless armies of Western Xia finally dispersed in batches, Su Yuanjing, among the seed masters, Zong Ze, the three important ministers of the Song Dynasty, glanced at each other, and finally put down that heart.

In the past two days, Ye Ling and the Liangshan soldiers were very calm, they should eat, they should sleep, and they didn't take the hundreds of thousands of Xixia troops who were close at hand in their eyes, but they didn't dare, as long as the other party didn't retreat for a day, their defense line here would not be slackened at all.

However, seeing that the Western Xia army was finally gone, and it was likely that it would not come again for a long time, the three of them had mixed feelings in their hearts, both happy and apprehensive.

Naturally, they were happy that this difficulty had finally been successfully passed, and it was much better than they expected, and the imperial court did not pay any price at all, and presumably Huizong and Baiguan, who were far away in Tokyo, were very happy.

But the apprehension is naturally that it is Liangshan who solves the problem this time, and it is also Liangshan's cavalry who suppresses the Western Xia Kingdom so embarrassed, at most they just hold up a field next to them and strengthen their momentum, these may not be understood by outsiders, but the three of them know it.

Liang Shan, in front of the Western Xia aliens, this is the most reliable ally of the imperial court, but once the external trouble is eliminated, he will immediately become the biggest opponent of the imperial court.

Su Yuanjing tried to persuade Ye Ling again, as long as Liang Shan was willing to accept Zhao'an, all the conditions were negotiable, even if Ye Ling wanted to be the marquis and the king, it was not impossible to negotiate, he used his reputation and life to vouch for his life to admonish His Majesty.

This condition is enough to scare outsiders to death, you must know that the Song Dynasty has never had a king with a different surname, and the previous Zhao'an has always been a gift from the imperial court, forgive your sins, just give you an official You should be grateful to Dade, where is your room for bargaining?

For example, Song Jiang in the original plot led a hundred forests and seven generals in Liangshan, fought in the east and west, and fought in the south and the north, and made countless contributions, and after paying countless prices, didn't he just do a mere Chuzhou envoy? As for the rest of the generals, not to mention, most of them are just five-grade local generals such as regimental training and control.

Therefore, Su Yuanjing's words this time are actually sincere enough.

It's just that Ye Ling just smiled faintly and refused without hesitation, if he entered the imperial court incognito before, on the one hand, it was to tap talents and understand the internal situation of this opponent, on the other hand, it did not rule out the possibility of some degree of cooperation between the two sides.

But since the last betrayal of the old traitor, the imperial court immediately sent Yang Jian to lead troops to arrest him, if it wasn't for Dai Zong's help, Fang Baihua would have spared his hand, that time would have been really dangerous.

That is, after this conflict, Ye Ling's last trace of affection for the court was completely erased, and this time the troops were sent for the sake of righteousness, not to help the court.

Then Ye Ling gave an order, and the Liangshan army took the newly obtained 30,000 fine Western Xia war horses and marched away, this time not only repelled the Western Xia invasion army, but also attacked the Western Xia mainland for the first time, which greatly increased the confidence of the soldiers, plus these war horses and those few treasures, so that the top and bottom were satisfied.

Looking at the distant figure of Liangshan's army, Su Yuanjing and the other three were in a complicated mood, Zong Ze sighed and said: "The imperial court is in trouble this time, the lion of Liangshan is completely enraged, I'm afraid there will be variables in a few years." ”

Su Yuanjing shook his head and said, "How many years? General Zong still underestimated Ye Ling, his previous condition for sending troops was to make Qingzhou their Liangshan jurisdiction, plus the many war horses he got this time, he couldn't make a move next year, who could stop them at that time? ”

The seed master smiled bitterly: "Don't argue with the two of you, let's report this matter to the court as soon as possible, let Your Majesty make up your mind as soon as possible, now the internal and external troubles are really eventful, I'm afraid the Great Song Dynasty this time... ”

He wanted to stop talking in the middle of his words, but Su Yuanjing and Zong Ze both knew in their hearts that this was because he had no confidence in the imperial court, and now that even the generations of generals like Xiaozhu Jingluo Xianggong were shaken, who else could they expect to be loyal?

Especially Liangshan and the Western Xia Liao State are completely different, it is a confrontation between ethnic groups, often there are you without me, and they are endless, and Ye Ling is also a Han Chinese, and he is also a Han Chinese, and he is also a little omniscient, the common people will not have an opinion of him, and the real horror is Huizong and the magnates of the current dynasty.

Is it really time for a change of dynasty? The Great Song Dynasty has only been more than a hundred years since the founding of Taizu, and the hearts of the three of them are desolate.

。。。

Ye Ling and the others naturally didn't pay attention to Su Yuanjing's thoughts, and the army returned to Liangshan smoothly, Lin Chongchao and they hurriedly came to greet them, and also told them what happened here.

It turned out that after a holy decree from the imperial court came down, all Qingzhou officials were allowed to return to Tokyo, and another settlement was made, and Qingzhou was given to the people of Liangshan to govern.

In fact, the imperial court also implicitly implicates that they do this, they don't believe that Liangshan has any governance talents, it's just a group of brave and ruthless guys, there may be two more wars, but there must be a large number of scholars in internal management, do they have them on the mountain?

At that time, Qingzhou was a mess of governance, and in the end, it didn't have to be honestly returned to the imperial court.

But the imperial court obviously overestimated its own attractiveness, but also underestimated the charm of Liangshan, after these years of the cottage's 'for the heavens, anti-violence and peace' propaganda and implementation, the people of Qingzhou not only do not exclude the cottage, but are extremely cooperative.

In addition, many officials have also benefited, and some people of insight have vaguely seen the great future of Liangshan and the bleak future of the imperial court, so they decided to take a gamble here and choose to side with Liangshan, and in the end, nearly half of the officials remained!

This even includes Murong Rongda, the Qingzhou Prefecture Mu, who can be said to know Liangshan best, and after learning that the previous officialdom star 'Du Ling', who was both civil and military, was actually Ye Ling, he resolutely decided not to leave and stayed to continue to work for Liangshan.

Of course, Liang Shan will not refuse this request, and now the cottage does lack excellent civil officials, especially those who are proficient in politics and management, Ye Ling personally ordered Murong Rongda to continue to serve as the governor of Qingzhou, and Shi Wenbin, the magistrate of Yuncheng County, who had spoken before, was also specially arranged by Ye Ling to be the prefect of Jinan Mansion, and the rest of the remaining officials also retained their original official positions.

In addition, Ye Ling also asked all the leaders on Liangshan to disperse to various places in Qingzhou to be officials, so that they could also learn how to manage the people and deal with government affairs, after all, after getting the world in the future, it does not mean that it will be fine, and governing the world is equally important.
