Chapter 70: Zong Ze dies
Seeing that Ming Jian asked in person, Yu Yunwen showed the calmness of a rare young man, and he said:
"The officials and ministers think that the number one enemy of my Great Song Dynasty is the Jin State instead of the Western Xia, and the two countries should also be targeted for national policies. Jin Guo is located in the front of our Great Song Dynasty, and it is a huge threat to Bianjing City, and it must be taken seriously. And Western Xia is only a corner of the northwest, and the national strength is weak, so my Great Song only needs to send a general to deal with it! Now that the official family has a clear understanding of Wu Jue, the minister thinks that there is no doubt about employing people, so there is no need to send people anymore! ”
Yu Yunwen's words can be described as quite insightful and have a strong view of the overall situation.
Ming Jian nodded and glanced at Wu Lin again.
Wu Lin said: "Qi Qi official family, the minister also thinks that the brother is enough to deal with the threat of the Tangut people, the brother joined the army at a young age, has served in the Western army for many years, and is very clear about the battles and customs of the Tangut people, he will not live up to the trust of the court." However, the Jin people, although they were defeated by the officials, their wolf nature is difficult to change, and they will not give up their incursion to the Central Plains. And although the national strength of my Great Song Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, it is not possible to destroy the Jin State in the short term, so for the Jin people, at present, it is still mainly based on holding each other, Marshal Yue is a military genius, and he is the nemesis of the Jin people, and the domestic contradictions have been cut off, and it is time to put some pressure on the Jin people. ”
Seeing that Yu Yunwen and Wu Lin both said this, Ming Jian secretly thought in his heart: The glorious period of Western Xia has passed, and with the current strength of the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia is no longer an opponent. But this is not something that cannot be underestimated, that one is called Tieba, and he actually fuses the martial soul of Jebe, this person must be a strong opponent.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty was also very strong, and before the Yuejia Army came out, they were the most effective army in the Great Song Dynasty.
Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty also gave priority to the protection of the Western Army, with abundant materials and neat armaments.
Therefore, the Tangut people have not been able to bargain for anything.
"When the two Aiqing said this, I felt much more at ease. The Tangut people also have the same wolf ambitions, but they have been hit more by us over the years, so they are relatively peaceful. Since this is the case, the northwest military will be handed over to Wu Jue, and after Peng Ju returns, he will go to Yuncheng to preside over the overall situation. ”
Ming Jian said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what you think about dealing with the Xixia people? To prepare for a rainy day, we must be prepared in case Wu Jue loses the battle. And the general soldiers of the towns in the northwest, will they go all out? ”
The current military commander in the northwest is Qu Duan, this person is quite strategic, but he is a little arrogant, and he is even harsh to his subordinates, in history, Wu Jue and Qu Duan had a conflict, and later Wu Jue sued Qu Duan in front of Zhang Jun, which led to Qu Duan's unjust death.
If he doesn't send anyone now, Ming Jian has such a worry.
Li Ruoshui said: "Official, Qu Duan's appointment as the chief soldier of Shaanzhou is appointed by the imperial court and cannot be changed. Although this person is arrogant and arrogant, he is very loyal to the imperial court, so it is better to repair a letter and ask him to fully support Wu Jue's military operations. In this way, the communication between the armies will be very good and there will be no chaos. ”
Ming Jian put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said: "I may not buy it when I see Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen, I ordered you to go to Shaanzhou to supervise the war, and hold the sword of Shangfang given by me, if anyone goes against my will and hinders military operations, there will be no forgiveness!" ”
Yu Yunwen excitedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, knelt down and said, "The minister accepts the order!" ”
From a scholar, he suddenly became a minister, can Yu Yunwen not be excited?
Moreover, this is real power, whoever doesn't listen will be killed, and the fire in Yu Yunwen's heart is also completely burning.
Wu Lin's eyes on the side were also hot, and the two of them entered the cabinet office at the same time today, but Yu Yunwen was immediately favored by the emperor, and his luck seemed to be a little worse.
Li Ruoshui, Zong Ze and Li Gang admired Ming Jian's vision very much, although Yu Yunwen was smaller, he was also better in the eyes of the three of them, with a good view of the overall situation, and he was resolute and resolute, not emotional, and he was the best candidate to be the minister of the Qin Mission.
Although Wu Lin is also very powerful, when it comes to Wu Jue, he is not suitable.
"Whether it is Qu Duan or Wu Jue, any general of the former Western Army, if he dares to disobey the military order, he will be cut first!"
Ming Jian then said that after the Jingkang Change, the Western Army fell apart, but there were still some generals with some men and horses, operating in the northwest region, some of them became the king of the mountain, some took refuge in the Western Xia, and some were still the army of the Great Song Dynasty, but they did not listen to the command of the imperial court.
These people need to be sorted out, and the purpose of Ming Jian letting Yu Yunwen go is to completely rectify it, so that the situation in the entire northwest will be simpler, and the fewer voices it makes, the better.
Yu Yunwen said: "The minister obeys the order! ”
The next day, Yu Yunwen left Bianjing City, took a few followers, and went straight to the northwest.
......
Zong Ze's situation is getting worse and worse, and after three days, he is completely unable to move normally.
Ming Jian lost all the nutrient solution, but it still had little effect.
On the fourth day, Zong Ze had already fallen into a coma, and it seemed that he was completely dead.
On the fifth day, Zong Fang rushed back, all the way to the horse, Zong Fang ran and killed three horses, as soon as he came back, he threw himself in front of Zong Ze's bed in grief, crying out with tears.
After Zongfang's call, Zong Ze finally woke up.
He trembled and reached out to touch Zongfang's cheek, and said with trembling lips, "My son, don't be sad. Your father and I are seventy-three, and now the official family is cheering up, and the prosperity of the country is only in the wan, I am already very relieved, although I die, I have no regrets! ”
After saying this, Zong Ze was already panting.
"Daddy, the boy knows." Munakata cried.
After a while, Zong Ze said again: "My son, now that the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, you have to be loyal to the court and listen to the words of the officials, and in the future, the responsibility of our Zong family to carry forward will fall on your shoulders." I've been thinking a lot about it these days, the official family must be the master of the Great Song Dynasty, don't look at the current situation is still unclear, but Jin Guo is definitely not the opponent of the official family. My son's martial arts are outstanding, but the art of war strategy is a little worse, in the future, my father is gone, you have to work your own, learn more about the art of war, just rely on the courage of the horseman, there is no way to become a major minister that the official family relies on, can my son understand? ”
Zongfang nodded and said, "Dad, the child knows." ”
Seeing this, Zong Ze's face immediately turned red, obviously, he was very relieved in his heart, and the whole person began to return to the light.
Seeing this scene, the people at the scene wept.
"Life in the world, to be able to enter the hall and worship the marquis, it is worth the trip! It's a pity that the old man can't see the scene of the official family dominating the country and sweeping away the northern country........"
Saying this, Zong Ze laughed, and then closed his eyes!
......
Wude Palace, Zheng Guang hurriedly walked in, and said to Ming Jian: "The official family, the people from the sect, the elder of the sect, are dead!" ”
The pen in Ming Jian's hand shook, fell to the ground, and broke into two sections.
