Chapter 259: Talk to Yu Jing

Zhong Hao and Yu Jing have never dealt with each other. Originally, because www.biquge.info of the relationship between Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi, he still had a good impression of this friend of his Taishan father-in-law, but since he learned that he wanted to borrow troops from Jiaozhi to help quell the rebellion, he didn't have a good impression of it.

However, since Di Qing asked him to act as a buffer, Zhong Hao didn't want to show too much prejudice against Yu Jing.

After Yu Jing heard that Zhong Hao was Fu Bi's prospective son-in-law, his attitude towards him was still very enthusiastic, asked a lot about Fu Bi's recent situation, and remembered Fan Gong with Zhong Hao for a while before he began to talk about business.

Even if Di Qing, a military general who dominates the two lakes and two Guangzhous and has a higher position than him, Yu Jing also looks down on him from the bottom of his heart, which is also a common problem of high-ranking literati officials in the Great Song Dynasty. Besides, this kind of dispatch to lead the two lakes and two Guangxi to quell the rebellion will naturally be relieved after the matter is completed. How can they have the status of these civil officials and doctors sung by Donghuamen to be stable.

And when Di Qing was in Guizhou, he lost his face fiercely, so Yu Jing was very dissatisfied with him.

However, this time, Di Qing did cleanly pacify Nong Zhigao, and defeated the Jiaozhi people who were watching Liangguang, which can be regarded as completely playing the stability of Lingnan. From this point of view, Yu Jing admires Di Qing a lot.

The founding generals of the Great Song Dynasty have long been decayed and embarrassed, and there are only a few generals such as Di Qing who can lead the army as a handsome commander to defend the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty. Although Yu Jing was contemptuous and precautionary of civilian officials for military attachΓ©s, he also had a lot of opinions about Di Qing's solo command this time and the matter of commanding the two lakes and two Guangzhou. But now seeing that the effect of his solo command of the army is so good, and the victory is so clean, he doesn't have such a big opinion on Di Qing.

Relatively speaking, the personal ethics of these "gentlemen" are still good, much stronger than the old school headed by Xia Zhu. Fan Gong is the kind of person who is bright and upright, and the people gathered around him, if it weren't for his temperament, I am afraid he would not be with him.

Therefore, in fact, Yu Jing's perception of Di Qing is much better now, although he guards against the generals, but only to prevent them from sitting big and rebelling, and does not want to completely suppress those generals to lose their temper, which will easily cause the military generals of the dynasty to be available.

And after he came in, he saw that Di Qing asked his shogunate praise painting Zhong Hao to help negotiate, and this shogunate praise painting was precisely the quasi-son-in-law of his old friend Fu Bi, which showed that Di Qing still had a good intention, so Yu Jing had always been kind and pleasant after entering the handsome tent, and he did not keep a straight face as usual.

Therefore, the final handover work was relatively smooth.

As for those prisoners of war, it was finally agreed that those prisoners of the Nong Zhigao army and the Jiaozhi people would be taken prisoners when the Western Army returned to the dynasty with 10,000 divisions, and the rest were all reserved for Yu Jing to use as labor for the reconstruction of Lingnan.

As for the money, Di Qing was also very generous and only half of it, according to the meaning of the soldiers of the Western Army, they didn't plan to spit out these belongings at all. The imperial court itself gave the Western Army a low treatment, and this time he captured so much, so naturally he could stay as long as he could.

However, Di Qing still generously left half of it, so that Yu Jing could use it for the reconstruction of Lingnan, which was in ruins. Of course, the Western Army's private collection is not in this number.

Di Qing was able to leave half of the property seized by the Western Army, which made Yu Jing a little impressed by Di Qing, those generals of the Great Song Dynasty saw the money and property like mosquitoes saw blood, and wanted them to spit out the property to their mouths, but it was extremely difficult. Yu Jing really didn't expect Di Qing to leave him half of his belongings for the reconstruction of Lingnan.

This made the old man quite happy.

The handover was completed quite smoothly.

The day of departure of the Western Army squad will have to wait for a few days. After all, tens of thousands of troops are not just able to go, all kinds of materials, grain and grass and other things have to be prepared, there are still those prisoners of war to be escorted, and those goods to be transported, and it will take a few days to prepare.

…………

In late winter, Quang Nam West Road finally began to get cold. The cold wind blowing "whirring" made people suddenly feel cold and cold. The cold wind was mixed with moisture, which made Zhong Hao, who was used to the dry and cold of the north, feel quite uncomfortable.

In Yongzhou City, Zhong Hao and Yu Jing, old and young, walked slowly on the street.

The last time Zhong Hao entered the city, he was still in the city with the Western Army, and the people of Yongzhou City at that time were full of insensitivity on their faces, as lifeless as the walking dead, but now the people of the city seem to have gradually recovered their vitality.

Now, under the overall arrangement of Yu Jing and other civil officials on Guangnan West Road, the order in Yongzhou City has gradually become regular.

It seems that the administrative execution of these civil officials is indeed quite strong, and in this short period of more than half a month, this Yongzhou City has been stabilized.

It is foreseeable that with those captives as coolies and those captured property left by the Western Army as support, this important town in the southwest will soon return to its former prosperity under the governance of Yu Jing and others. Although the wounds caused by the war are difficult to heal for the time being, the people can at least live a stable life.

Today it was Yu Jing who shouted that Zhong Hao came out, and tomorrow the Western Army was about to leave, and he said that he wanted to talk to Zhong Hao.

Zhong Hao really couldn't think of anything to talk about as a small person and his appeasement envoy along the way, but he came out very cooperatively, after all, he was a comrade-in-arms who had fought with his father-in-law, and he couldn't even give this face.

walked all the way out of the barracks where the Western Army was stationed, and walked for a long time, but Yu Jing did not speak. Just led Zhong Hao around the street. Seeing the people of Yongzhou City repairing their homes in full swing, Yu Jing's somewhat serious face gradually eased.

Walking to the north gate of Yongzhou City, Yu Jing led Zhong Hao to climb the city tower, looking at the tall Beijing in the distance.

After a long time, Yu Jing slowly spoke: "Since Taizu, the Great Song Dynasty has not used the corpses of the enemy to build a Jingguan for a long time. Those ministers in the court and the imperial history of Taiwan heard about this Jingguan, and I am afraid that it is indispensable to shoot at Di Hanchen! ”

Zhong Hao listened to Yu Jing's words, took a closer look, and seemed to hear something, as if Yu Jing was releasing goodwill, and had some intention for Di Qing.

When Di Qing and Yu Jing handed over, there was some intention to show favor and reconciliation to Yu Jing, it seems that Yu Jing is not such a stingy person, at this time, listening to him call Di Qing's expression, it is full of kindness. Although it is still inevitable that kind of condescending tone, it seems to be much kinder than coldly calling Di Qing Di Shuai. Yu Jing's qualifications are older than Di Qing, although his dispatch at this time is temporarily lower than Di Qing's, but it is obviously reasonable to call his surname and the word table.

Zhong Hao thought for a while and said: "Back to Xianggong Yu, I think that these southwestern barbarians are all stubborn people, and if they only use the way of benevolence to influence them, I am afraid that they may not be able to play a role." Only when it is necessary to use power can completely convince them. These Jingguan is a means of Ling Zhi's authority, and Xia Guan feels that Di Shuai's method of building Jingguan and subduing the barbarians in the southwest is not too much of a problem. Those ministers in the court and the imperial historians of Taiwan should understand the role of this Jingguan! ”

"I hope so......" Yu Jing sighed, and continued: "I know the situation here, and I also know the role of this Jingguan, but I'm afraid that those people in the court haven't been to Southern Xinjiang and don't know the situation here, or they don't want to know about it at all!" ”

Zhong Hao actually knows what is going on. Di Shuai went south to quell the rebellion this time and made immortal achievements, although the scenery is infinite, but in the eyes of those Great Song Dynasty civil officials, I am afraid that they feel that they are even more thorns in the eyes and thorns in the flesh, and they will want to suppress it and then hurry up. Although this matter of Jingguan is built with the bones of the enemy, although it is to deter the enemy, but those civil officials and doctors who are full of benevolence and righteousness may not care about this, they are afraid that they will only seize Di Qing's cruelty and brutality to make people build Jingguan.

But since this thing has been done, there is no need to dwell on it, when Di Shuai wants to make people build Jingguan again, he must have thought of these things, and there should be countermeasures. Besides, even if he helped himself, he couldn't intervene in this kind of high-level struggle, and Zhong Hao felt that he didn't have to worry about it.

However, Zhong Hao listened to Yu Jing's words, but it seemed that he was planning for Di Qing, and he couldn't help but feel a lot less hostile to him. It seems that he can become a member of the "Gentleman's Party", and he can get the name of the "Four Advice of Qingli", his personal ethics are still very good, and his mind should also be quite generous, Zhong Hao's perception of Yu Jing has improved a little when he hears this.

At that moment, Zhong Hao also sighed and said: "Since Jingguan has been built, those people can't stop us if they want to impeach, alas, let's see how Di Shuai resolves it!" ”

Yu Jing listened to Zhong Hao's words, and saw that although he spoke to him quite politely, he still heard from his tone that Zhong Hao was a little distant from him.

Although Yu Jing used to be known for his "outspokenness" in the DPRK and China, his ability to get into a high position like him was not given in vain. After thinking about it carefully, he guessed the reason why Zhong Hao was estranged from him.

I am afraid that it is because he invited Jiaozhi people to help quell the rebellion, which made Zhong Hao have a lot of opinions about it.

In this matter, Yu Jing was indeed a little sick and rushed to the hospital at that time, but the reason why he did this was not just out of selfishness to compete for merit, but really considered the overall situation.

Yu Jing didn't want to go to the northwest to lead troops like Fan Gong, so he didn't know the true strength of the Western Army. At that time, he saw that the Song army in Lingnan was beaten by Nong Zhigao, and felt that he really couldn't afford to lose, he was afraid that if the Western Army was defeated again, he was afraid that this Nong Zhigao would completely become the climate! The reason why he came up with the idea of inviting the Jiaozhi army to help was mainly because he felt that the Jiaozhi army had repeatedly abused Nong Zhigao, and he should have the certainty of defeating Nong Zhigao, and the Great Song Dynasty really couldn't afford to lose anymore, so he thought of relying on the Jiaozhi army to help quell the rebellion, but it was really not just for merit or anything.

Of course, Yu Jing's original intention was not bad, but later he also felt that he was a little hasty at that time. If these Jiaozhi people defeat Nong Zhigao and then take the opportunity to make trouble, wouldn't it be even more difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to control? Later, Li De'an's actions also proved this, and the Jiaozhi people were wolf ambitions and had no faith at all.

Afterwards, Yu Jing was also a little afraid. Although he invited Jiaozhi people to help pacify Nong Zhigao, he was strictly ordered by Di Qing not to enter the country, which swept his face, but Yu Jing thought about it, he really couldn't resent Di Qing, and even had to thank him. If the Jiaozhi people really pacified Nong Zhigao, but they didn't leave and continued to cause trouble, then he would be a big sinner who lured the wolf into the house!

Yu Jing guessed the reason why Zhong Hao had prejudices against him, and immediately opened his mouth and Zhong Hao took the initiative to bring up the topic of Jiaozhi people.

"Hehe, Wen Xuan should have an opinion on the old man because he invited the Jiaozhi people to help quell the rebellion, right?" Yu Jing opened his mouth and asked Zhong Haodao.

"Uh......" Zhong Hao really couldn't answer. The bad guy is also appeasing all the way, Zhong Hao is always bad at reprimanding him.

"Does Wen Xuan think that it is a very bad move for the old man to ask the Jiaozhi people to help pacify Nong Zhigao?" Yu Jing saw that Zhong Hao didn't speak, and continued to ask.

"The ambitions of the Jiaozhi people and wolves really can't conspire with them, even if they pacify Nong Zhigao, they will definitely cause trouble." After all, Yu Jing is a high-ranking official who appeases the envoy all the way, although Zhong Hao lacks reverence for him, but it is always difficult to rebuke him directly, so he is just talking about the ambition of the wolf son of the Jiaozhi people. And pointing out the wolf ambition of the Jiaozhi people naturally shows that Yu Jing invited the Jiaozhi people to help.

"Alas, before the Western Army came, Nong Zhigao won many battles, and the old man was afraid that he would be completely big, so he borrowed Jiaozhi soldiers to quell the rebellion. At that time, the old man just wanted me to die less people and soldiers in the Song Dynasty, and he felt that it was a good strategy to be able to buy the barbarians to contribute with money. ”

"Yu Xianggong is familiar with history books, and he should know the results of the former Tang Dynasty borrowing Uighur soldiers and Shatuo soldiers to quell the rebellion! Therefore, even if the Jiaozhi people can help pacify the Nong Zhigao rebels, the people will definitely be poisoned! ”

"Now it seems that the old man's idea of borrowing troops to fight people is indeed not considered! At that time, I only felt that letting the Jiaozhi people help quell the rebellion would make my Great Song soldiers and civilians suffer fewer casualties, and my thoughts were really not thoughtful. "Yu Jing is a down-to-earth gentleman, and he is also a person who can afford to take it and put it down, but he does not shy away from his mistakes.

Zhong Hao listened to Yu Jing's words, but he was quite impressed. After all, a high-ranking official of Yu Jing's level must be very face-conscious, even if he is wrong, he will generally never admit his mistake, Zhong Hao really didn't expect Yu Jing to be in front of him, and bluntly said that his idea was not considered. This made Zhong Hao admire Yu Jing's open-mindedness, and it seems that Yu Jing, as a gentleman, is not in vain. No matter what his ability is, at least there is nothing to say about his character.

Yu Jing so bluntly admitted his mistake of inviting Jiaozhi people to help quell the rebellion, which made Zhong Hao embarrassed. It can be seen that this old man is also a good official who is dedicated to the people, which can also be seen from the fact that he took over Yongzhou City and quickly stabilized the lives of the people.

"Well, Yu Xianggong also tried his best to plan for the people, but fortunately, the conspiracy of the Jiaozhi people never succeeded, and this matter is nothing!" Zhong Hao relieved Yu Jing and said.

"Hehe, then Wen Xuan won't be prejudiced against the old man anymore, right?"

"Uh...... No! ”
