A rebellion broke out in Tianzhu, and the news reached the Great Song Dynasty, which was already a month later, and this was the result of the Great Song Dynasty's active promotion of shipping and railway construction, otherwise I was afraid that it would not be possible to grasp the situation on the front line for a year and a half.

But even so, the ordinary people of the Great Song Dynasty also lack the understanding of Tianzhu, including the academic and public opinion circles. They only know that Tianzhu is a huge country, no smaller than the Great Song Dynasty, and has a large population, fertile land, and a climate that is extremely suitable for the growth of crops, and a lot of grain in the Great Song Dynasty comes from Tianzhu.

When news of the rebellion came, the first thing to be affected was food prices, which rose in many places.

In addition, as more news came, people panicked even more.

The rebellion in Tianzhu, purely in terms of scale, was unprecedented.

Led by Miyi, as many as dozens of princes joined, among them, the most people can have 100,000, the least has 30,000, plus the militia who have surrendered after hearing the news, at least a million people, what a terrifying number?

Not to mention a rebellion, even if you line up and let Da Song kill it, it will take a long time.

It's chilling to think about.

Especially when comparing the strength of the Great Song Dynasty in Tianzhu, he is even more worried.

At present, the garrison in Tianzhu has only 18,000 troops, 3,000 cavalry, and 300 warships...... The number of troops is not small, but it is scattered to the huge Tianzhu, which is like sprinkling a handful of peppercorn noodles into the sea, which is pitifully small and powerless to stop it.

Seeing that one city after another fell into the hands of Tianzhu, the rebel forces in various places were surging, quickly assembling, and the number of people was increasing every day, and there was a new situation every day.

At the beginning, the Great Song Dynasty conquered Tianzhu at a very fast speed, but now it is losing Tianzhu at a faster speed, which is really ironic!

Even the most optimistic commentators believe that the Great Song Dynasty would have sent at least 100,000 men on an expedition to quell the rebellion in Tianzhu, and that it might take decades to control Tianzhu.

It's a desperate project!

Give up Tianzhu!

Or withdraw the troops from Tianzhu, as long as they promise to be a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty and regularly send some local products every year, it will be fine.

This kind of voice is very loud, and it is clear that there is someone behind it.

There are also people who gradually blame Wang Ning'an for the Tianzhu rebellion.

First, he excessively oppressed overseas colonies, and since ancient times, it is reasonable for officials to force the people to rebel.

Second, Wang Ningan casually reformed the military system and forced a group of generals to retire, which resulted in a talent gap and a command loophole, which gave the Tianzhu people the opportunity to rebel.

With these two major crimes, Wang Ningan should be fully responsible for Tianzhu's affairs.

More and more attacks are directed at Wang Ningan.

This time, the Secretary of State of Science finally had some heart, and they saw a precious opportunity.

"In response to Tianzhu's rebellion, we strongly demand that the King of Qin need to come to the council to accept our inquiry, he must make things clear and hold the relevant responsibilities accountable!"

Yang Shi spoke out at the parliamentary meeting, hoping to gain support.

As the new foreman, Wen Jifu pondered for a long time, if it was his father, he would definitely use this opportunity to embarrass the political affairs hall...... But he doesn't have that ability, this is just the beginning, don't get along with your life.

Wen Jifu strictly complied with his father's request and shelved Yang Shi's proposal.

Don't say yes, don't say no, just put it aside and don't vote at all!

"The surname is Wen, you are shameless, you are a coward!"

No matter how much the science side shouts, Wen Jifu just ignores them.

The rest of the parliamentary secretaries are also not interested in this, especially the military parliamentary secretaries, isn't it the Tianzhu rebellion? What's the big deal, if you can conquer Tianzhu, you can conquer them again, where the Great Song Iron Cavalry arrives, the jade is burned!

Yang Shi tried several times in the parliamentary meeting, but to no avail, and he is now very angry and helpless.

If there is one of them in the political affairs hall, even if it is a scholar, it is enough to force Wang Ningan to come to the political council to be questioned, and they can take the opportunity to make a big fuss.

But it is very suspicious, the political affairs hall is all Wang Ning'an's disciples, and there is no one else!

Yang Shi pondered for a long time, not to mention, let him find a suitable candidate.

Yang Shi personally found Zhang Fangping, who had just retired.

This former secretary of the colonial ministry and the governor of overseas is experienced, and his words are influential.

"Late life implores the prime minister to ascend to the heights and shout, and show Wang Ningan's face to the world!"

Zhang Fangping frowned, he was in a very bad mood.

At the beginning, Zhang Fangping comforted himself that the sea had been up and down for decades, and it was a blessing to be able to return to the roots, so don't force it.

But after a few days at home, he couldn't stand it anymore.

In the past, even in the Colonial Department, it was above 10,000 people under one person, and if you say one or the other, just a few words, it is worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and there is a large group of scribes below to act according to his orders.

How good it feels to be commanding and powerful!

In the second month of returning home, Zhang Fangping could only manage his family, what vegetables to buy every day, and how much rice to cook at a meal...... Fragments, his family is going crazy, and if he doesn't find something for this old man, he has to toss the whole family to death.

Although Zhang Fangping was so bored that he exploded, he was not a fool, after so many years, he jumped out now and used a junior as a gunman, which is really insulting to the old man's IQ.

"The old man has resigned, but he is an idle villager, and Mr. Yang is looking for the wrong person!"

"No!"

Yang Shi shook his head decisively, "Zhang Xianggong, Fang is down today, there are very few people who can stand up and say a fair word, and Xianggong is one of the few who has a conscience...... King Qin went out of the mountain again, perversely, and didn't say anything else, just to make Tianzhu millions of people rebel, if you want to calm down, I don't know how much work it will take, this he should resign from the prime minister, and think about it behind closed doors. ”

Zhang Fangping waved his hand irritably, anyone can say anything, but the question is is that Wang Ningan was easily knocked down?

"Lord Yang, the old man is not interested, please take care of yourself."

"Zhang Xianggong!" Yang Shi didn't care about any courtesy, he rushed over in a few steps and stopped Zhang Fangping, who had already gotten up. He blushed in a hurry, and said in an almost pleading voice: "Old man, it's okay if you don't want to make a public announcement, but it's always no problem to make a statement to Your Majesty, right?" Although you are at home, but after all, you are an important minister, different from the ordinary, your recital can still reach the heavens, the old man, don't you even dare to say fair words? ”

……

The government hall, the prime minister's room.

It was very chaotic outside, public opinion was in an uproar, and there were many discussions.

But here is surprisingly calm, as Wang Ning'an's two major thugs, Wang Shao and Zhang Qi are there, there is a sand table in front of them, and there are a lot of small flags on them.

"Lord Wang, judging from the current situation, the area under our control is rapidly decreasing, and the territory occupied by the rebel army is getting bigger and stronger, and the strength is getting stronger and stronger, but the actual situation, I'm afraid it's not so simple."

Zhang Qi said firmly: "First of all, although we have lost the land, but the loss is limited, so far, the number of dead and wounded is less than two thousand, mainly mercenaries from the Seljuks, in other words, we have no loss, and as the men and horses gather, the scattered fingers have been clenched into fists, and it will only be more powerful to fight out!" ”

Wang Shao also smiled: "Not only that, Tianzhu's side, although the momentum is huge, but if you look closely, the center of the rebellion is several principalities, and among these principalities, there are mountains and mountains, and the connection with each other is very weak, and it can even be said that it is vulnerable." ”

"It's no wonder they're not to blame." Wang Shao sneered: "For hundreds of years, Tianzhu has been divided, and there is a deep estrangement between each other, and even enemies of life and death. In the early days of the rebellion, they were able to unite against the Great Song Dynasty, but as their control area increased, they continued to clash with each other. I dare to say that the more men and horses they have, the stronger their forces will be, and they will not be far from defeat. ”

Zhang Qi immediately took it, "That's right, I think this is an excellent opportunity to eliminate the princes of Tianzhu, Lord Wang, the last general is willing to ask for an order, as long as you give me another 3...... Uh, no, it's twenty thousand! Twenty thousand!! As long as there are 20,000 people, the last general will be able to eradicate the thieves in Tianzhu! ”

Wang Shao, as the secretary of the military department, was unable to lead the troops to the battle, and he was full of envy.

Who knew that Wang Ningan shook his head, "Since Tianzhu is a disease of scabies, then there is no need to worry, just let Tianzhu go down, an abscess, it must always bulge out, so that it is easy to start, and finish it in one battle!" ”

"Then, what if it is rotten and uncontrollable?" Zhang Qi was a little anxious.

Wang Ningan was still not in a hurry, "There shouldn't be a problem, I can trust Liu Yu." ”

Zhang Kai still didn't turn around, but Wang Shao was suddenly startled, obediently, how did he remember that the two sons of King Qin are in Tianzhu, and the prince is not trustworthy Liu Yu, but his son!

It seems that Tianzhu's affairs are going to be left to the two junior brothers to perform, and there is nothing left for him.

"Now that the master has an arrangement, of course we can rest assured, but the matter of Tianzhu can't be delayed for too long, and now there is a big uproar in public opinion, there are many remarks that are unfavorable to the master, and there is no action, wouldn't it give them more truth?" Wang Shao said worriedly.

Wang Ningan smiled.

"Who said there was no movement, I have a big movement to push!"

"I wonder what Master's plans are?"

Wang Ningan said: "This time the situation in Tianzhu has exposed many problems in our army, not only aging and sluggishness, but also poor command and poor operation. ”

"Therefore, I have decided to completely reorganize the army, promote the military rank system, and eradicate the bad habit of returning soldiers to future soldiers in one fell swoop!" Wang Ningan's voice was impassioned and full of fighting intent, this is a very critical reform, even more important than all the previous reforms combined!

The reason is very simple, only by controlling the army can we keep the results of the change, otherwise everything is just a castle on the beach, unable to withstand the wind, frost, rain and snow...... The biggest advantage of implementing the military rank system is that soldiers no longer recognize a certain person, but recognize the military rank, and as long as the military rank is higher than you, they must obey...... In other words, some generals could not dominate all their subordinates by virtue of their power and charisma, and they could be replaced by people of the same rank with a single order, which greatly strengthened the power of the government hall and the military department.

Tianzhu's rebellion just gave Wang Ningan an an excellent opportunity to implement the military rank system, I really don't know how those who make waves will feel?
