Chapter 461: Jiangnan is full of wealth, why don't the soldiers take it themselves?
Song Jun's next move was not just for some people in Luoyang City to make up their minds. The times are different from the past, and the opinions of the generals of the Western Army must also be squarely faced.
Otherwise, how could that kind of teacher be added to the rank of privy envoy, even Liu Yanqing can call himself "Tai Lieutenant".
Wang Qing in the south, Tian Hu in the north, large and small species and his generals, all added officials to the knighthood, and even Yao Gu, who was beaten by the Liangshan army in Huainan, not only restored his former rank, but also further became the chief of the soldiers and horses of Huanqing Road. This was not because of his hard work in Huainan, but only because of Yao's influence in the Western Army.
It was another cold winter season when the water turned into ice, and the generals of the Western Army were in the capital of Xindu, and Tong Guan had left this place at that time and went to recruit troops everywhere. He has almost no soldiers and horses, but his official position is still there, and more importantly, he still has money in his own hands.
The division was replaced, and the generals of the Western Army gathered in this place.
"The imperial court wants our army to conquer Jiangnan." The tone of the seed master was very calm, "Mr. Zhengchen is here, and he will arrive in a few days, and transfer all our troops to the south of the Yangtze River, and merge them with the South Route Army to form one, and the town is square." This matter is very important, and the old man can't be the master, so I specially invite you to come to the meeting today. You can express your opinions and discuss in detail, without being rigid about your appearance, stammering, and having a future speech. "The so-called Mr. Zhengchen is Fan Zhengchen, the grandson of Fan Zhongyan. The current Taichang Temple Taizhu, although it is far less outstanding than his grandparents, but the Fan family has an inseparable friendship with the Western Army. Then Fan Zhongyan didn't mention it, his sons Fan Chunren and Fan Chunchun also served in Shaanxi.
It is impossible to disobey the decree of the court and oppose sending troops in the letter, but the master also knows that his soldiers have been fighting again and again in these days, which is indeed a bit tiring, and more importantly, the destruction of Tianhu is not pure, and the Liangshan army is defeated and demoralized.
If the imperial court has a large amount of money and silk rewards, then nothing is mentioned, but the problem is that the imperial court treasury is empty, which is troublesome. If they are forcibly ordered to go on the expedition, the morale of the team will probably be lowered, and the relationship between the Western Army and the imperial court will not be good. If this is the case, with the old and spicy way of the teacher, he can only 'rule by doing nothing', secretly encouraging the generals under his command to express their opposition, so that the envoys sent by the officials can personally see that the generals are neither enthusiastic nor supportive of this war, and bring this negative reaction back to the imperial court, so that it is possible to change the decision of the officials.
The intentions of the master are like watching the fire in the eyes of the overseer Tan Zhen. In fact, he also very much agrees with the strategy of planting the way of the teacher. Since the imperial court has no money, why not station the western army on the spot and eat there? It's okay to postpone the dispatch of troops, so as not to hurt the morale of the army, right?
He received a letter from Liang Fangping the day before yesterday, since Tong Guan lost power, Liang Fangping replaced him after returning from the army, and became the first person in the current chamberlain. He told himself to make it happen as much as he could. Let the generals understand the meaning of this battle and know the determination of the imperial court. But who thinks that there is no money and no food, empty mouth and white teeth?
Recently, Tan Zhi has revealed his wind to the generals below more than once, presumably that kind of teacher has also moved. It is unknown whether the following generals really understand this. But they are insiders and have been involved in this confrontation.
Some of them are overjoyed, feeling that the hot wealth has come to them; Some are worried, fearing an unpredictable calamity. The mind is pure, what he wants is to sweep away the traitors, support the Song Dynasty, and show the skills of a man and a hero; And those who are not pure-minded are greedily looking at the wealth of Jiangnan.
If the imperial court has no money, food, and labor for the army, it can only reward them with the flesh and blood of the people in Jiangnan.
Faced with such a major problem, each person reacted differently to the relationship between the imperial court, the army, and himself according to his own mood and opinions, or simply from the perspective of personal interests.
However, although everyone has their own little abacus, there is one thing that is still the same among the generals: today's military discussion is unusual, and today's decision is more related to the fate of the whole army and everyone. This means that they cannot be as indifferent or rash as they normally are.
Liu Yanqing, Yang Weizhong, Zhao Ming, Jiao Anjie, etc., they looked at each other and peeked at each other's faces, but no one refused to open the first voice and be this budding bird.
There was silence in the lobby for a moment.
After a long time, everyone heard that the Northern Route and Western Army all pointed to Liu Yanqing to speak, and in the absence of Xiao Chong, he thought that his status in the Guanxi Army was the third, and being limited to the Northern Route Army was naturally second only to the status of the Seed Master.
If someone else has concerns and does not dare to break the silence first, then it is up to him to break it. Just like after the emperor asked, the bureaucrats were embarrassed, and at this time, it was the prime minister who should break the embarrassment.
"The Sprinkle family has been fighting horses for half their lives, and they are born and dying, and they are by no means greedy and cowardly." He carefully considered his words and tried his best to make a deputy weight, but his literary talent was limited, and he didn't have enough ink in his stomach, so he couldn't say a few words before revealing his true colors as a military man. "I think our army has not disarmed since the year before last, and from the beginning of the year, first fought in Hedong, and then fought in Hebei, it can be said that it is non-stop, and finally the north is roughly peaceful, and the soldiers are exhausted, how can this go to the south of the Yangtze River again? In my opinion, it is better to use troops again next year. "If he beats Liangshanjun, he won't say half a word, and the pain of losing his son makes Liu Yanqing hate Liangshanjun to the bone. But what kind of grudge does Fang La have with him?
Liu Yanqing led part of the Yan army to Shu to suppress the rebellion of the Yi people in southern Sichuan, and the blood washed in Lunan, and the local people were eager to sleep on their skins and eat their meat. And in the war, his own subordinates also suffered a lot of losses. He had just returned from southern Sichuan and was transferred to the Central Plains, first fighting Hedong and then Hebei, and he was really tired. What's more, when the Yan army saw that it was consumed by the repeated battles, he didn't listen to the supplements, so when he heard that the Song family was going to transfer him to Jiangnan to fight, he resisted very much.
Although Liu Yanqing's conclusion was in line with the wishes of the Seed Master Dao, he said it too unabashedly, and even too stupid, not only could he not open his eyes for the Seed Master Dao, but it might become the excuse for the other party's attack.
General Yang Weizhong's cheeks shook a few times, and he also pulled his cheeks, as if he was angry.
But before he could speak, the young and anxious Liu Qi had already spoken before him: "Taiwei's words are wrong!" As the saying goes, "raise a soldier for a thousand days, use it in one day", my generation belongs to the soldiers, and has been favored by the imperial court for a long time. How can you shirk and resist, and forget your public selfishness? The meaning of the young general is that he should also follow the order to go out and serve the country. ”
Liu Qi's words were ostensibly to refute Liu Yanqing, but in fact Xiang Zhuang was dancing the sword, which was intended to be Pei Gong, and the weight of the words "private and forgetful" was very heavy. Even when the planter heard this, he couldn't help frowning.
He is old, and the last thing he wants is to have a tarnished reputation behind him.
Although Liu Qi's words were very polite, they were on the key point of the Dao of the Planter. And he can also be said to be one of the people in today's account who can not buy Liu Yanqing's face.
As Liu Zhongwu's son, when his eldest brother has been mourned, Liu Qi is already the representative of his clan in the army. And with his back to Tan Zhen, he just talks about things, and he is really not afraid of Liu Yanqing.
He advocated following the instructions to become a teacher, not only considering his own gains and losses, but also deliberately looking for Liu Yanqing's troubles. The worry of the seed master Dao was not unreasonable, but in order to please Tan Zhen, he could only do it on purpose. As for targeting Liu Yanqing, it was Liu Yanqing's own truth.
Later, it was Yang Weizhong, who supported Liu Qi's claim on the same grounds. "A good man should fight for wealth from knives and guns, too good an opportunity to miss it." Because of his background, he has always talked about "abiding by the orders of the court", and now he is naturally a teacher who obeys the order.
Of course, the descendants of the Dao family like Zhao Ming also spoke one after another, and their remarks were naturally in favor of Liu Yanqing. The reason is that the people are also very straightforward and frank, the soldiers are tired after a long battle, the morale is low, and the court rewards are few, and they are forced to send troops for fear of complaining.
In this way, the two groups of people argued inseparably, and in the end, this decision was pushed in front of the cultivator. Everyone looked at the old man who was dignified and had been in the army for a long time.
Seed Master Dao is a member of the Seed Family, and his family has produced many famous generals in several generations, but he can enjoy the great name, but by no means relying on the power of the family and ancestors, but more relying on his own many bloody battles and establishing meritorious deeds, which has achieved his current reputation and status.
As an envoy, the master was appointed with the approval of the Song court, but as a soldier, his majesty was recognized by the majority of officers and soldiers in the army, but this requires real merit, and the appointment of the imperial court are two different things.
"How can you disobey the edict of the official? Yi Shi (Liu Qizi) is very right. The seed master said after a long silence, as if after a great ideological struggle, he said, "However, the old man is deeply concerned, since our army was formed, it has only fought against Western Xia and Zhuqiang in a hundred years. Except for last year's first battle in southern Sichuan, the rest of the armies hardly left the northwest corner, and their actual knowledge was limited. At this age, our army was divided into two, walking in the north of the river and east of the river, and going south to Jingnan and Jingbei, I and my brother had a correspondence with each other, listening to his words, the situation of the land of Jinghu Lake is very different from that of the north, the life is sparse, the military situation is unknown, the lakes and swamps, the mountains and dense forests are many. Think that Jiangnan is even worse, once the army is difficult to come out, the winning strategy is safe? Here, you should think carefully! “
The planter raised a specific difficulty that aroused everyone's thinking. Then, everyone heard Zhao Long, the senator in the army, speak: "The minister is very worried. Such a major event must be calculated in order to have a chance of winning. How could Meng Lang engage in it, trap this army, and mistake the imperial court. ”
This person is the general of the Yao family. At the beginning, Yao Lin [Uncle Yao Gu] went to war, and he was seriously injured, and shouted: "I am thirsty to death, and I can still live with water." "But the water source is close to the enemy camp, how easy is it to get water? It was Zhao Long who dived alone and was soaked in the spring. After being discovered by the Western Xia army, Zhao Long fought and walked, returned to the camp, and fed Yao Lin with clothes and water, and the latter woke up.
It stands to reason that Zhao Long, Seed Master Dao, and Liu Yanqing are not all the way, and even he and Liu Yanqing have no deals. Because he is a senator in the army, second only to Liu Yanqing, and the contradiction between the second and third is the norm in the world. And after Yao Xiong became a leader, Yao Gu failed to ascend to the throne smoothly, and he had a bad deal with the second Liu who pressed on his head. But now Zhao Long is in the same camp as Liu Yanqing, not because he is different, but because he is really not optimistic about the Jiangnan counterinsurgency.
The Western Army is combined into one, which is not a big deal. But the imperial court has no money to give rewards, so the only way to ask the Western Army to take it for itself is to ask the Western Army to take it for itself. It is necessary to set off a catastrophe, and the victory or defeat of the war in Jiangnan will not be mentioned, but it will definitely be a river of blood and endless killings.
Is this the right thing for the imperial court?
But Zhao Long's words were exchanged for a sneer from Tan Zhen, "The senator's words are too ridiculous." If you are a soldier, you should dare to fight to repay the court, how can you be afraid of the head and tail. Such a straight graciousness! When he saw that the court was in trouble, he dared not to do his best! ”
At the right time, someone outside handed him a word, and after Tan Zhi heard it, he silently recited "Amitabha" in his heart, and his attitude was abruptly certain.
"The treasury of the imperial court is empty, and there is no money to distribute, but there is a debt to the soldiers. However, the wealth of Jiangnan is well known to everyone in the world, why don't you drive the soldiers to take it for themselves? In this next sentence, he suddenly saw that the concerns of the seed master Dao and Zhao Long were clarified.
This move was unexpected by everyone, that is, Liu Qi made an 'ah' voice.
