Chapter 1118 National Thief, Military Chaos IX

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! It's all reversed......"

Zhao Ji's furious voice came from the Chongzheng Palace, accompanied by the sound of a slap slapping the case.

This great Song emperor, who has been in power for twelve years, really has a feeling of powerlessness now. And he also somewhat understands why his ancestors want to collect military power and financial power to the imperial court and take the route of guarding the inside and outside.

It turns out that you really can't give the people below a little military power and financial power! As soon as power is delegated a little, there will be chaos and thieves!

Wu Haogu is a merchant and a martial artist, not from the imperial examination, and it is understandable that he is a hero. Zhang Yuan is a literati, right? Generations of ministers, and he is the first Jinshi in the Ministry of Rites exam, and he actually became a warlord in the northwest. It's just that you are in the northwest, Hexi is not Song soil, so do whatever you want. However, the people of the Zhang family just made trouble in Hedong, colluded with Liaokou, and opposed the cession of Hexi, Shuofang, Anxi, and Beiting......

Well, Zhao Ji has now received both the recitals of Zhang Ju uploaded by Gao Shixuan on his behalf, the recitals of Zheng Juzhong, Qian Gai, and Liu Yanqing, as well as Gao Shixuan's own recitals.

There is a conflict in the content of the three movements. But one thing is certain, that is, the 5,000 Hexi Iron Cavalry recruited by the imperial court with 1.5 million yuan launched a military rebellion in Jinzhou, Hedong, defeated the two elite soldiers of the imperial court, and once occupied Linfen and ransacked the Jinzhou treasury!

However, fortunately, after occupying Linfen, this group of thieves did not intend to go further south, and did not even pursue the fleeing Zheng Juzhong and Qian Gai, but fled to the northwest after taking a fierce note against the cession of Hexi, Shuofang and other places.

But even so, Zhao Ji was completely enraged, and he was so heartbroken that he would never really trust any military attachΓ© and civilian official with troops again.

"Your Majesty," the right minister He Zhizhong saw Zhao Ji's anger, so he could only play hard, "Hexi and Shuofang still have five generals of the new army of the imperial court, of which Shuofang has four generals and one general in Hexi, and Lingzhou Gao Yaokang is also a loyal martyr, so the imperial court has a total of six elite soldiers available in the northwest, which is twice as many as the Hexi army......"

There was a sound of "pop", and Zhao Ji's slap once smashed on the imperial case, which frightened He Zhizhong and quickly stopped.

The anger on Zhao Ji's face became even stronger, and he roared angrily: "He Zhizhong, did you want the Khitans to kill from Hedong to Kaifeng Mansion when you transferred all my elite soldiers to Hexi?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to ......" He Zhizhong was so frightened that his soul was about to be lost. He didn't do anything wrong, wouldn't it be too wrongful to send him to Haizhou like this?

"Your Majesty," Wu Juhou, a member of the Privy Council, said, "the top priority now is to pacify the Hexi army and at the same time block the Khitan north of Jinju." It is better to cede Hexi, so it is better to stop there. ”

Zhao Ji sighed bitterly, why is it so difficult to sell a country? I wanted to spend 5 million yuan to buy a peaceful world, but Wu Haogu seized Youzhou. Now he wants to cut Hexi for stability, but he has provoked a gang of barbarian warlords in Hexi.

If Hexi can't be cut, it will be impossible for Liao to withdraw from Hedong, so what should Hedong do? As soon as the Hexi Army made trouble in Linfen, there were only four generals left in Jinzhou......

"What do you say about the military rebellion?" Zhao Ji asked weakly, "Such a big mess, there must be an explanation, right?" ”

Wu Juhou said: "It's better to follow Zheng Juzhong and Qian Gai's performance, and deal with it on the grounds that Khitan spies instigate military rebellion." ”

It seems that it can only be characterized in this way, if there is a Hexi military rebellion, then Hexi will become a rebel. The rebels had to be defeated, although the imperial court still had five generals in Shuofang and Hexi, and most of Gao Yaokang in Lingzhou was also a loyal minister. However, the five generals of the imperial court were mainly infantry, with a total of only 2,500 light cavalry, while the Hexi army had all cavalry, with 15,000 cavalry households. If the maximum mobilization is carried out, 30,000 cavalry regular soldiers can also be pulled out.

In addition, there were too many constraints for the imperial court officials and troops to fight. can't let go of his hands and feet at all, how can he compare with the Hexi Army? A general military aircraft department can handle everything.

Therefore, if there is really a war, it will not be the situation in Hexi that will be eroded, and it will be rotten together with Shaanxi and Shuofang, and then it will really be the resurrection of the western thief.

Zhao Ji sighed and said: "I will transfer Liu Fa and the Shaanxi army stationed in Hexi to aid Hedong, and order Liu Fa to be the commander of the Xuanfu Division in Hedong."

Awarded the chapter aid as a special entry, the inspection of the school master and the servant, the Hexi Festival envoy, the history of the Liangzhou thorn, the king of Xiliang, 10,000 taels of silver, 10,000 horses of silk, 20,000 pounds of money, and 20,000 catties of tea. ”

Hearing Zhao Ji's dictation, the courtiers in the palace were about to burst into tears. First it was Wu Haogu, and now it is Zhang Yuan. In the blink of an eye, there are two feudal towns! What's going on in the Great Song Dynasty? How did it become the Tang Dynasty? The Tang Dynasty can still crusade against the feudal towns from time to time, but the imperial court can't spare any troops to crusade against Hexi and Youzhou now, what can I do?

After a while, Cheng Shi Gongbi broke the silence in the imperial history and said: "Your Majesty, Zheng Juzhong and Liu Yanqing lost their divisions and lost their land, did not observe the military chaos, and abandoned the Jinzhou city, resulting in the loss of money, food and materials hoarded in Linfen, and the crime is unforgivable. If we don't punish them severely, how can we boost discipline and inspire people's hearts? ”

"Then first remove the official position and put it in the Imperial Prison for questioning." Zhao Ji thought for a while, "There is also that Laoshizi Liao spy who was also escorted to Kaifeng Mansion together, and also received the Yushitai Prison." I want to interrogate this person myself! If you die in vain, you, the middle of the imperial history, will pack up your belongings and go to Haizhou by yourself! ”

Zhao Ji's words were very heavy, but if he didn't say much, Fengming Mountain would probably have to drink poisonous chicken soup in Yushitai.

Shi Gongbi hurriedly walked up: "Then take a trip to Hedong in person, and take Zheng Juzhong, Liu Yanqing, Feng Mingshan and others back to Kaifeng Mansion." ”

"Good!" Zhao Ji exhaled, and just wanted to talk about the battle situation in Hedong, Uncle Zhang ran in in a panic at night.

Seeing Uncle Zhang, Zhao Ji's heart tightened.

"Zhang Qing, what's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, the city of Taiyuan is broken, Tong Guan...... Tong Guan ran away. ”

Zhao Ji didn't understand this, he asked: "But when the city was broken, Tong Guan ran out?" ”

For Tong Guan, Zhao Ji still trusts him very much. Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan can both be emperors, but Tong Guan is not qualified to be emperors. Therefore, he will not hold Tong Guan accountable, and he will continue to reuse it.

Because he has no one to use now.

"No, it was Tong Guan who ran first, and then the city was broken."

"Run first?" Zhao Ji was stunned, "Isn't Taiyuan surrounded?" ”

"The siege is over...... The siege was once lifted. ”

"What do you mean by breaking the siege for a while?"

According to the report of the military engine room of the Xuanfu Division in Hedong, it was the rebels in Hexi who moved north along the west bank of the Fen River, and before they approached Taiyuan City, the Liao people broke the siege and retreated to Dongshan to the east of Taiyuan City. Tong Guan took 200,000 taels of silver to reward, but he never returned......"

"He was kidnapped by the Hexi Army!" Zhao Ji stomped his feet.

"Your Majesty." Uncle Zhang is not stupid at night, and he has long understood what is going on. However, it is inconvenient for him to excuse Tong Guan, a eunuch.

"After Tong Guan went, Taiyuan City was lost?" Zhao Ji then asked.

After Tong Guan went, Taiyuan was in turmoil, and Cai Anzhi had no choice but to flee with the gold and silver in the treasury. On the way, he met the Liao soldiers again, so he had to abandon his belongings and flee for his life, and now he has arrived in Jinju. ”

"I knew that I wouldn't have let Tong Guan enter Taiyuan......" Zhao Ji sighed.

If Tong Guan does not enter Taiyuan, the Hexi Army will definitely not make a mess. Even if that Feng Mingshan was really a Liao spy, it was impossible to incite the troops against Tong Guan. The relationship between Tong Guan and Zhang Yuan is intimate!

And the Hexi army didn't know what was going on, so they were so frightened that the Liao people withdrew to Dongshan...... If it weren't for the fact that the Hexi Army had already torn its face with the imperial court, the siege of Taiyuan might have been solved like this.

He Zhizhong stubbornly asked: "Your Majesty, Tong Guan was abducted, Zheng Juzhong was convicted again, who should preside over the Hedong war?" ”

When the ministers in the palace heard this question, their hearts hung up.

The current situation in Hedong is not ordinarily bad! There are no soldiers, no food, and the Khitans also conquered Taiyuan. And Hexi and Shuofang can't be cut, it's really hard to save the immortals!

"Is it okay for Han Xiaoxuan?"

After thinking about it, Zhao Ji only came up with a Han Xiaoxuan who was similar to Zhang Yuan. Although his army has been defeated repeatedly, it is still a force that can be relied on after all.

"Han Xiaoxuan went to Hedong, what should I do on Zhendingfu Road?" Wu Juhou said with a bitter face, "Zhendingfu Road not only has to block the Khitan southbound road, but also has to guard against Youzhou ......."

"That ......" Zhao Ji's gaze wandered in the main hall, swept over the trembling ministers, and finally landed on Zhang Shuye's body.

Uncle Zhang also knew that he couldn't hide, so he had to bite the bullet and play: "Your Majesty, the minister is willing to go to Hedong to clean up the situation." But...... The minister has three requests. ”

"Say." Zhao Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Zhang said: "First, the ministers don't want the new army of the six generals from the six roads in the southeast, please ask Your Majesty to leave them in Kaifeng Mansion." ”

The new army from the southeast six roads is even worse than the Kaifeng forbidden army (not the Kaifeng new army), and if you really want to go to Hedong, you can only give away people's heads. Moreover, before their heads are given away, they will have to spend a limited amount of money and food, which is really more than worth the loss.

"Quasi-play."

"Second, please ask Your Majesty to assign the Baode Army, the Kelan Army, Lanzhou, Xianzhou, and Jinning Army to Linfu Road, so as to overcome the transfer of the general army's military affairs."

Now the only thing that Hedong can count on is the soldiers and horses of the Lin Mansion Zhi family, so the northwest of Jin can only be entrusted to the Zhi family.

"This ......," Zhao Ji thought for a moment, "yes." ”

"Third, please send someone to ask for Tong Guan, and then order him to proclaim Heshuo, garrison the army, contact the grassland, and respond to Hedong."

Now that Hexi has become a feudal town, the one who can suppress the situation in the northwest is Tong Guan. Moreover, the Shuo Fang Army was established by Tong Guan, and only he could stabilize the heart of the Shuo Fang Army.

"That's all there is to it." Zhao Ji sighed. "What Zhang Qing invited, I approved! The matter of Hedong was handled by Zhang Qing cheaply. ”
