[Ran^文^Library][]. []. After Wu Song returned to Qingzhou for meritorious service, he was promoted to the first rank, this time only to promote Wu Song's military position, but not to his official rank. 【Ran Library (7764)】

Therefore, Wu Song's official rank is still Bingyilang, which is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant colonel, but his military rank is finally equal to the military rank, and he is ordered to serve as a general for Qingzhou soldiers and horses, which is the core general in the Qingzhou battalion.

However, although Wu Song returned victoriously this time, he still couldn't marry a wife, because Huang Xin, an uncompetitive guy, was captured by the Erlong Mountain bandits, all of whom were from the government, and Qin Ming couldn't ignore it, so he had to order Wu Song to try to rescue and encircle the bandits.

As the saying goes, people have to be unlucky, drink cold water and stuff their teeth, Huang Xin is like this, Wu Song is preparing to lead the army regardless of his previous suspicions to rescue him, but at this time, a major event happened in the Great Song Dynasty, but it made the whole people angry.

Because of this incident, all the armies of the Great Song Dynasty that relied on the north were in a state of standby at any time, and the trivial matter of Huang Xin being arrested had to be put aside.

This incident occurred in the Song Dynasty Hebei Road and the Liao State of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures originally belonged to the Central Plains Han nationality, but the Central Plains Han Dynasty for generations to block the invasion of nomadic people, occupy Yanyun can be a master, ten thousand people can not open.

Since it was occupied by the Liao State, a large number of Liao troops were stationed here, and over the years, the Liao State's war or invasion of the Song Dynasty was from here to the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was helpless about this, and the domestic military strength was not as brave and good at fighting as the Liao soldiers, so the Song Dynasty would sign an unequal treaty with the Liao State under the condition of being in an advantageous position in the war.

However, although after the signing of the alliance, the Liao State no longer launched a large-scale war of aggression against the Song Dynasty, but some small frictions on the border were perennial, and in June of this year, a fire broke out in the Hejian Fu area of the border Hebei East Road.

June is the season of wheat ripening in the north, since the beginning of this year, the northern Shandong Hebei region of the Song Dynasty has been in good weather, several snowstorms during the New Year finally showed results in the wheat in the field in June, the whole Shandong Hebei region, the wheat is all straw coarse, the wheat ears are big and full, after going out of the city there are golden wheat waves everywhere, in every field, the wheat ears are heavily bent the wheat straw.

For this gratifying wheat, the farmers and uncles laughed all day long, and it was indeed a bumper year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, and this year was really a bumper harvest that was rare in decades!

Farmers are the most dependent on the weather, and the weather is the most capricious, in the event of a major drought and flood, even later generations of farmers are difficult to resist, let alone ancient farmers, so such a good year is a rare happy event.

The wheat harvest was abundant, and the people were overjoyed, but there were also people who were eyeing them because of this, and these people were from Liao!

The Liao people have been accustomed to plundering the people of the Song Dynasty, and in the face of the bumper harvest of the Song Dynasty farmers in Hebei, the Liao people stationed in the sixteen states of Yanyun are naturally salivating, and when the farmers on this side of the Song Dynasty were about to harvest the full ears of wheat, the Liao people suddenly killed them!

The powerful Liao cavalry drove away or killed all the peasants near the border, and the remaining large fields full of ripe wheat were harvested and transported back by a large number of Liao people.

In this regard, the weak and incompetent Song army was forced by the pressure of the people, but also organized several expulsion actions, but the Song army was powerless to resist the Liao cavalry, and the Liao people were just for robbery, too scattered, the Song army had only perfunctory, and after reporting to the imperial court, the imperial court did not pay attention to this kind of robbery, anyway, they were used to robbing......

As long as it is not encroaching on the territory, the imperial court does not pay attention to this at all, isn't it just to grab some food, let them grab enough.

The incompetence of the imperial court not only made the common people indignant, but also fueled the arrogance of the Liao people, not only the peasants in the area of Hebei North Road suffered heavy losses, but finally the Liao people could not go deep into the hinterland to rob, and when they left, they set a fire in the wheat fields that they could not rob.

In ancient times, harvesting wheat was undoubtedly the busiest time of the year, unlike later generations that could be done in a few days, so the Liao people only came to loot the wheat fields near the border, so that it was convenient for a large number of other Liao people to harvest and transport them back. Therefore, when the Liao people set that fire, most of the ripe wheat in other parts of the Song Dynasty was still standing in the fields.

Burning, killing, robbing, looting, in ancient times, arson was a more serious crime than murder, and the Liao people set fire to the loss of conscience.

When the wheat was ripe, it was a time of heat and little rain in northern China, and the ripe wheat was dry and flammable, and this fire only spread at the border of Hebei at first, but it was blown a few times by the June wind, and the fire was out of control!

Patches of ripe wheat fields, after encountering a little spark, like ignited gunpowder, quickly destroyed and burned, the fire is like a monstrous wave, from the Hebei border to the wheat fields in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty, the farmers have sacrificed countless people in order to fight the fire, but still can not stop the swept fire.

In the end, the fire burned directly to the area near the Yellow River before it was controlled by the government and the people, but what could be done if it was controlled, and the entire wheat field on Hebei North Road and East Road was gone!

In this fire, thousands of acres of wheat with full grains turned into black charcoal in this rolling fire......

If it weren't for the Yellow River, I'm afraid that the Shandong boundary where Wuzhi is located would also suffer. Even so, during the days of the fire, the entire sky over Qingzhou City was full of thick smoke......

The farmers in Hebei have been looking forward to the wheat all winter, but now that the grain has not been harvested, the fire is gradually extinguished, but despair and sorrow are spreading among the hard-working and kind Han farmers in Hebei......

Not only the desperate peasants of Hebei, this fire also ignited the anger of all the people of the Song Dynasty, the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants, everywhere you can hear aspiring young people to the atrocities of the Liao people, in Bianjing, there are tens of thousands of scholars and literati led hundreds of thousands of people to petition collectively at the gate of the imperial city, if the imperial court sends troops, it will immediately throw a pen from the Rong posture!

This time, the people of the Song Dynasty were really angry, and the anger was mixed with humiliation, it was half of Hebei's wheat field, and it was a rare harvest year, and it was burned by the Liao people so mercilessly. Liao people! You rob it, you rob it, the gentle Great Song Dynasty, the kind people of the Great Song Dynasty have to endure it, but what good will it do you to burn?

Even Wu Zhi has been aggrieved in his heart recently, Wu Zhi has grown so big, it is the first time to experience the feeling of national hatred, China before the crossing, although there are also some clowns who jump off the beam to provoke, but everyone knows that those clowns dare not go overboard, because they know that once we go too far, we can easily pinch them to death.

In front of the clowns, we always have a sense of superiority of a great power.

But this time the Liao people are different, the Liao people really look down on the Great Song Dynasty, and you deserve to be the one who robbed you, and burned you...... You Han people deserve it.

You have the ability to fight our Liao country! Do you dare?

The Song Dynasty did not dare to fight.

Without the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun as a barrier, none of the Central Plains Dynasty would dare to fight the nomads in the north! Can't beat it.

Therefore, after the fire, despite the uproar of the people and the shaking of the government and the opposition, everyone gritted their teeth and petitioned the imperial court to send troops to attack the Liao State.

However, those high-level officials and the officials of the current dynasty did not react positively to these calls, and at present they only sent people to the Liao State to negotiate and strongly condemn them......

According to the news reprinted by the newspaper of the imperial court, the current attitude of the imperial court is to try not to fight, if the Liao State can give corresponding compensation for this matter, then our Great Song Dynasty will not be held accountable for this matter...... The next is not an example.

"Stupid, force the court!"

Even Wu Zhi, a person who traveled to the Song Dynasty, was angry when he saw the news, not to mention the other people of the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that even the gang of thieves on Liangshan couldn't wait to go to the Liao State to fight!

Wu Zhi understands that now the court is in charge of Cai Jing and other traitorous ministers, and Song Huizong is even more incompetent and mediocre, he only knows that he is reluctant to steal peace, and he definitely does not want to fight, and what is even more hateful is that now the highest military commander of the Great Song Dynasty, Taiwei Gao, is just a football player, even if he fights, he is blind.

The entire government and the opposition are not angry, and Wu Zhi can't wait to kill Bianjing now and make waves in the court!

But Wu Zhi knew that his current strength was far from enough......

————

Today is the day of the Chamber of Commerce's tea party.

The hall was full of people, whether it was Wu Zhi or Huang Zhi, everyone's faces were filled with indignation at this moment.

Because, just this morning, the newspaper reprinted a piece of news in the official residence newspaper that made people angry.

The content of this news is the result of negotiations between Song and Liao, and Liao does not admit that they set the fire, let alone compensate Song for the arson, and the two countries do not fight...... These have already made the Song people angry, but what is unacceptable is still to come-the Liao State actually demanded a large amount of compensation from the Song Dynasty on the grounds that the fire had affected the Yanyun Prefectures!

What's even more humiliating is that the emperors and prime ministers of the Song Dynasty really agreed to lose money!

The wheat field that was burned a few roads was actually so weak that it lost money in turn, and the face of the Song Dynasty was lost by Song Huizong, and he deserved to be captured and humiliated in later generations, so that Wu Zhi didn't want to change any bullshit history, so let Song Huizong be stupid and forced to be captured and humiliated in the future!

However, Wu Zhi is also angry, if he doesn't change anything, in the end, it is the people who suffer the most, or himself.

It is precisely because the Song Dynasty is weak and incompetent that Wu Zhi works so hard to improve the strength and status of himself and Wu Song, in order to one day, the national strength of the Song Dynasty can be like his culture and economy, far stronger than all the surrounding countries and even all the countries in the world, and become the hegemon of the whole world!

These are Wu Zhi's goals, and Wu Zhi can only swallow this national shame at the moment...... Now in the face of this kind of national humiliation, who in the guild hall still has a good face?
