Zheng Zhi came to Hejian Mansion to accept such a stall, but Zheng Zhi himself didn't think about it,.。

It is to streamline the old and weak, keep the young and strong, and then practice. If this is the case, these 50,000 or 60,000 people will probably be reduced by more than half, and the most that will barely remain will be 20,000 or 30,000.

Or is it just kept here, drilled, and then used as a logistics for the army when it goes into battle, and these soldiers are sent to garrison when they occupy a state capital?

When Zheng Zhi was entangled, he summoned Wu Yong.

Wu Yongben was still counting some grain and grass and other things left by the planter, and when he heard Zheng Zhi send someone to call, he hurriedly ran to the big tent to see him.

Zheng Zhi asked: "Pedant, what should I do with these fifty or sixty thousand miscellaneous soldiers, do you have any suggestions?" ”

Wu Yong heard this, thought for a moment, and asked, "Does Xianggong think that these soldiers are useless?" ”

Zheng Zhi nodded and said: "It's useless, even if Hu Yanzhuo's generals are still able to suppress thieves, and go into battle to fight the Liao, I'm afraid there is still a gap." If you go into battle rashly, you are afraid that it will easily cause chaos, and if it leads to a rout, it will really outweigh the losses. ”

Zheng Zhi also has a plan in his heart, although the soldiers under Hu Yanzhuo's command are much stronger than other state capitals, they are still both old and weak, and their training is also a little worse.

The military system of the Song Dynasty was originally a lifelong system, and those with gray hair were still retired in the army, and they also took swords and guns into battle, and they also occupied a non-commissioned quota.

"If the prime minister thinks that these soldiers are useless, then he has never thought of letting them go into battle to kill the enemy, so there is no need to cut, if the food and salary are enough, the more the merrier, a little training, rectification of military discipline, it is always possible to guard the city, and the logistics burden is also more help." Wu Yong replied.

Zheng Zhi nodded, Wu Yong said it bluntly, Zheng Zhi actually didn't have the idea of letting these people go into battle in his heart, just because Zheng Zhi was still a little worried in his heart, and the 50,000 soldiers under his command were really not much. That's why I wanted to streamline the staff, that is, Zheng Zhi thought to himself, so maybe it can be used.

Wu used a word, but Zheng Zhi was no longer entangled, and also dispelled some thoughts in his heart, and only said: "Then you will keep it, you will formulate a daily drill code and supervise the drill." ”

"Yes, Xianggong, the students will go and make a code." Wu Yong replied.

Wu used the big tent, and Zheng Zhi was holding a document in his hand, which had just been sent from Tokyo in a hurry, with three large seals on it: Zhongshu Province, Shangshu Province and the Privy Council. The content is to ask Zheng Zhi to send personnel to various state capitals to collect military salaries. On the table below the document, there is also a holy decree, and the document is naturally an order given to Zheng Zhi, and the holy decree is for the governors of various state capitals to see, in order to cooperate with Zheng Zhi.

In the end, Zheng Zhi was in charge of this matter, rather than sending officials from Tokyo to do it, which must have been arranged by Tong Guan. Obviously, he wanted to give all the benefits to Zheng Zhi and let Zheng Zhi make this windfall. I don't want others to interfere and take advantage.

Zheng Zhi looked at the letter, smiled slowly, and his heart blossomed. The matter of money and food is as Wu Yong said, the more the merrier. In this way, it is not a problem to raise these fifty or sixty thousand miscellaneous soldiers.

Someone has to deal with this matter, Zheng Zhi immediately wrote a letter back to Cangzhou, this matter can't be done by the military alone, and the civil and military must cooperate. On the one hand, it is necessary for the military to lead the troops to attack quickly, so as not to let people hide their personal interests, and more importantly, to deter the rebound officials. It is impossible for these officials to resist the order on the surface, and there are many ways to procrastinate, and after procrastination, they will inevitably hide their personal interests, and the military and Han want to prevent these things.

On the one hand, there must be a yamen knife and pen official who can record points to be responsible for counting money and grain, and most of the military men can't do this kind of thing.

Tokyo Bianliang is another big shaking.

Wang Hao resigned, Cai Jing "took care of his body" and returned to the throne, and the seventy-three-four-year-old Cai Jing returned to the throne and served as the left servant of Shangshu Province, Dazai.

Above the court, there are the two giants of Taishi Cai and Taishi Tong.

Shangshu Fan Zhixu of the Criminal Department was also promoted, and he was appointed as the right servant of Shangshu Province and Shaozai.

The left and right servants shot into Dazai Shaozai, which was also only after the reform of Song Huizong. Prime Minister, originally a general term, has now been combined into one position.

Wang Huang lost his power, but he was not idle. Those who drill camps always have a way to drill camps.

Emperor Zhao Ji had thirty-two sons in his life, of which the eldest son Zhao Huan was the crown prince and was just in his early twenties. The third son, Zhao Kai, is one year old and Zhao Huan is one year old, but he is more favored.

It is only because Zhao Huan inherited Zhao Ji's talent, good at poetry, good at calligraphy and painting. More than a year ago, this Zhao Kai also secretly participated in the imperial examination, all the way up from the state examination, and won the champion. Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, although he gave this champion to Wang Ang, he was more and more favored by this son.

Wang Hao naturally knew about these things, so he went to King Yun Zhao Kai when he had nothing to do, obviously wanting to help King Yun ascend to the throne.

In this way, Wang Hao also offended the crown prince Zhao Huan.

Above the court, Cai Jing's means of cleaning are not intense, and they have a bit of a silent taste of moisturizing, but Wang Huang and his party, everyone is in danger, and most of them know in their hearts that they will not be tolerated by Cai Jing, and they also rely on their means to transfer to the locality.

However, Zhao Mingcheng's edict came down and was on his way to Qingzhou. Today's Zheng Zhi is really responsive. This is also Zheng Zhizhi's confidence in promising Zhao Mingcheng.

In the city of Tokyo, there is another person who is nervous, that is, Xu Shida, the prefect of Lingzhou on Qinfeng Road.

At this time, Xu Shida was still wearing a prefect's official uniform and was pacing back and forth at home.

Not long ago, Xu Shida's house was full of people, and there was an endless stream of young scholars coming and going, and the people who came to the door had a big gift, and they must be Xu Xianggong. Just because this prime minister has a big door, he can go straight to the Yushitai Qin Zhongcheng.

Now that everyone in Tokyo knows that Wang Huang is the prime minister, Qin Hui and Qin Zhongcheng themselves are in danger of being protected day and night, this Xu Xianggong has naturally become a passerby.

The state of people's hearts and minds is so realistic, these days Xu Shida's home is deserted, and no one has come to visit him with gifts or gifts.

Xu Shida naturally knows what is going on, and it is a trivial matter that no one comes to the door to please, at most he arranges a few sentences of slander, or scolds two sentences to vent. Xu Shida was most anxious about the transfer of his family wealth, and he didn't know if Qin Hui had done it for himself.

If Wang Hao had done it before he dismissed the prime minister, Xu Shida would have been lucky, no one would have taken such a small person as him to heart, and Cai Jing would not have thought about such a thing as whether the prefect of Lingzhou was Wang Huang's henchman. Xu Shida also got what he wanted.

If this matter is not done, then this huge amount of money will be lost, and it is impossible to find Qin Hui to spit it out, even if Qin Hui degrades the wilderness, it is impossible to return Xu Shida's money.

Xu Shida still understands these things, and in the past few days, he has been really worried and uneasy, and he knows that it is also a sin for him to stay in Tokyo like this. But the left and right can't wait for this document.

Until today, someone finally came to knock on the door of Xu's house.

Xu Shida, who was pacing in the courtyard, hurriedly went to the gate, but the little maids in the family were not as fast as Xu Shida's movements.

Pushing the door, two petty officials with a few errands stood at the door, Xu Shida hurriedly asked: "I don't know which Yamen's colleague, under Xu Shida, there is a long way to welcome, please hurry." ”

The two petty officials also saw it, and one said: "Chen Ju, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, has seen it!" ”

Xu Shida only heard the word ministry, and his face was already overjoyed, the ministry came, it must be a matter of transfer, and there could be no other things. I just want to think that the big thing will be done, and the money will not be spent in vain.

But it was another petty official who stepped forward and said, "I have seen Wu Bao in the Xia Nai Yushi Observatory supervising Wu Bao." ”

As soon as he heard the Yushitai, Xu Shida's face immediately changed, and the officials under the Yushitai must have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, but they didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse, and they hurriedly said: "I have seen two colleagues, if you want to say that Yushitai, I am very familiar with Qin Zhongcheng." The two of you hurry up and please, hot tea is served. ”

Xu Shida's words were naturally close, but Wu Bao, the superintendent of the imperial history, did not take a step, and only said: "I won't drink the tea, someone has impeached you for one term as an official, but you are not on duty in the place of office, and you will stay in Tokyo to have fun. The officials have issued a document to send you to the jurisdiction as soon as possible. ”

Xu Shida panicked when he heard this, and this was the word that made Xu Shida's heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly replied: "Why do you want to be detained?" Zai is packing his luggage at home and will leave for the northwest tomorrow. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ju stepped forward and said, "The luggage has been packed?" This is just right, the official documents have arrived, and I will pay you to transfer you to serve as the deputy envoy of the Lingzhou regiment training on Qinfeng Road, the war in Lingzhou is imminent, and you are specially ordered to go to the post immediately, and there must be no mistake. ”

When Xu Shida heard this, he was already on the spot, and when he saw the documents handed over by Chen Ju, he dared to reach out and take it. went back to Tokyo and scattered all his family wealth, but he changed from the prefect of Lingzhou to the deputy envoy of Lingzhou regimental training, that is, Xu Shida didn't even know what the deputy envoy of regimental training was.

This regiment is already at the lowest level, from the rank of eight grades. When Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou, it was also such an official position.

I heard Xu Shida tremble and say, "Are the two of you mistaken?" ”

Chen Ju was puzzled when he heard this: "You are Xu Shida, the former prefect of Lingzhou on Qinfeng Road?" ”

Xu Shida heard Chen Ju ask, but he wanted to recognize it in his heart, but he couldn't recognize it if he didn't want to, so he had to nod and say: "It's in the bottom, and the relationship with Qin Zhongcheng is very good." I don't know if the two of you may be accommodating, so let me visit Qin Zhongcheng first and then pick up this document. ”

Hearing this, Wu Bao, the superintendent of the imperial history, said: "There is no need to pay a visit, the messengers who escorted you to leave have arrived, you go back to your room to prepare, and you will leave later." ”

"Two, there must be a misunderstanding in this matter, you see... Xu Shida was in a hurry, and hurriedly took out a few silver taels from his sleeve cage and sent them forward, not daring to accept the reality in front of him no matter what, and he wanted to make another effort. The Lingzhou War is imminent, where does Xu Shida dare to go back to Lingzhou, even the prefect of Lingzhou doesn't want it, let alone a deputy envoy of the regiment.

Wu Bao looked at the silver handed over by Xu Shida, and opened his mouth to reprimand angrily: "What are you doing like this, but you still want to be charged with bribing the official, and the great seal of Cheng in the imperial history is also stamped here, you still pay a visit, why don't you go back and clean up quickly, you have set off, and I will go back to pay the errand." If there is nothing to prepare, then I will escort you away now. ”

Xu Shida's face was already pale, and he hurriedly said: "What you want to clean up, what you want to clean up, the two of you will wait a moment." ”

After saying the words, Xu Shida had turned back, still thinking about how to escape this catastrophe. But where else can there be a way, and thinking that the gifts sent from various places a few days ago are worth a few taels of silver, so I thought about bribing again. It's just that I don't see Qin Hui and don't give up, and the family wealth is given to Qin Hui, I really don't understand that if Qin Hui doesn't help, why do you want to frame yourself.

Everything is naturally in vain, where would anyone dare to accept Xu Shida's benefits in front of so many people, even if they accepted this benefit, the two of them knew that they couldn't do what Xu Shida wanted.

This matter was directly ordered from Shangshu Province, and the two of them did not have the courage to accept such a small benefit.

Behind the scenes, it is natural to say.
