Tong Guan stood up and turned back and forth a few times, feeling that if a few of them moved together, it would be almost a sure thing for Ryukyu to become a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't help but be curious about this Ryukyu chief of staff, and asked Zhu Mian: "Who is this chief of staff?" What is the position of Chief of Staff in the Ryukyus? ”

Zhu Mian thought about it and shook his head and said, "I don't know this very well, but from the staff officer, it can be seen that this should be the same position as a military advisor, right?" Does the chief of staff mean the chief military advisor? ”

Tong Guan thought about it is indeed a truth, it is really worthy of being the chief military division of the Ryukyus, and after thinking about it clearly, Tong Guan immediately wrote a letter to the capital to operate this matter for his official position, and then sent his henchmen to Yangzhou to discuss the matter of receiving Yangzhou.

Zhang San occupied Yangzhou for two months, all the strategic goals were achieved, and the nearby people had almost moved, so there was little point in continuing to stay in Yangzhou, so he began to withdraw after reaching a consensus with Tong Guan's envoy.

After Tong Guan 'occupied' Yangzhou, he immediately boasted about his merits, and then began to act in the government and the opposition, but Yangzhou is a certain distance from the capital, and the war is not something that is said to be fought or not fought.

A country's policy change always has to find a reason, and it takes time to find a reason, especially after having a newspaper, so after Tong Guan 10,000 people approached Yangzhou, he was stationed with peace of mind and made every effort to promote this matter.

Zhao Ji heard Tong Guan's report that the enemy was strong, and more than 200,000 soldiers were killed and wounded in the Yangzhou Battle alone, so he suggested that the imperial court recruit an army so as not to hurt his vitality or something, and if he wanted to fight again, he would request the transfer of 200,000 reinforcements and so on.

Although Zhao Ji didn't understand anything, Gao Yu understood, he also knew that the forbidden army of 200,000 people was not a trivial matter, and the Great Song Dynasty had always implemented the strategy of strong cadres and weak branches, and the northwest used 100,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo for the Western Xia campaign, and the war with Ryukyu used 200,000 forbidden troops before and after.

And the forbidden army in various places has been almost transferred, if it is being transferred this time, it can only be drawn from the Tokyo forbidden army, although the forbidden army in Beijing claims to be 600,000, but these 600,000 miles can fight have been pulled out.

And the rest are the masons, carpenters, farmers, workshop workers, and others, not to mention how much combat power they still have, and they will offend a large number of people just to get back from the hands of various officials.

Your court needs to use soldiers, everyone understands, but people use the forbidden army to work, and I also use the forbidden army to work, so why do you only transfer from my side, why don't you move from other people's side? Don't you look down on me!

So the soldiers can no longer be sent, when Gao Yu received Tong Guan's letter, he also felt that this was a solution, so he also began to promote and support this matter, and although several people had fights, they could also advance and retreat together when they defended the interests of their own small group.

Then there is Cai Jing's side, as the actual prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Jing's pressure is also quite large, while using troops against Western Xia, while helping the emperor build a garden, and then fighting with the Ryukyus, strengthening coastal defense, building new naval warships, and so on.

Although the Great Song Dynasty earns a lot of money every year, it spends a lot of money, but every year to raise soldiers, it costs most of the annual income to raise officials, and then as soon as there is a side matter, the copper money is scattered a lot, especially in the past few years when Zhao Ji came to power, the construction of various palace buildings and officials at all levels have been in their hands, and the treasury has long been emptied.

Moreover, the Ryukyu Army took advantage of the summer harvest to start a war, not only was a large number of summer grain and summer taxes cut off, but also the Ryukyu Army cut off all maritime trade, and half of the tax collectors of the Great Song Dynasty relied on sea trade and sea trade-related industries, and this blow was fatal.

It's just that these court officials don't understand these economic common sense, and the victory of the war with the Ryukyus is far away, although Tong Guan has sent good news that Yangzhou has been captured, but there is a fart to defeat Yangzhou! The foundation of the Ryukyus is on the sea, overseas! They also occupy several cities such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the sailors can land on the coast at any time.

As the saying goes, only a thousand days can be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, but in recent months, the coastal areas have been harassed by the Ryukyu Army, and half of the war funds for the Ryukyu Army have been spent on strengthening coastal defenses in various places.

Cai Jing is now also digging the east wall to make up for the west wall, if you want to say who in the Great Song Dynasty wants to end this war as soon as possible, then Cai Jing will definitely be able to rank in the top three, and the first place is of course Tong Guan.

So after Tong Guan sent the letter, Cai Jing was also very pleased, and Ryukyu did not make excessive requests, as long as the war can be ended quickly, this is not impossible, anyway, it will not be worse than now.

While the forces in the capital were brewing this matter, the newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty were indeed reporting another matter, which was first reported by a newspaper on Shandong East Road, and then reported by the Great Song Daily and the Great Song News.

For a while, it aroused a discussion between the government and the public, this matter is a brief introduction to Song Jiang's life, from Song Jiang's childhood, how he didn't learn and didn't have skills, failed the exam repeatedly, and then messed with the bullies every day.

After growing up, he intensified his efforts, befriended bandits, and shielded fugitives from the court, because Song Jiang's parents had always been officials in the county government, and they were even more troubled in the township, and they forced people to die with usury, and they sold their children if they didn't pay it.

Later, Song Jiang's father spent money to donate the position of the secretary to Song Jiang, and then Song Jiang was even more slippery, greeting the officials, and judging things was all based on the number of gifts, oppressing the good, and serving as a protective umbrella for the wicked.

Moreover, during his tenure, he had to do everything he could, and he took the court as a brother, the Jiangyang thief as a friend, the bully who bullied the people and harmed the people as a drinking friend, and the thief who caused the disaster as a confidant, and was generous to such people, and used all the looted people's fat and ointment to fund such people for evil.

And Song Jiang has been involved in the relatives to earn property in the township and neighbors for a long time, and he will inevitably oppress people as an official, and his father and brother's family rely on this to become a wealthy party, and the name of benevolence and filial piety is actually just a tiger, and his relatives are embarrassed to be evil officials who rape and harm the people.

Even though he knew that the other party was a thief who was robbed, the government sent personnel to chase him, he still went to ventilate and report the news, and even after the incident, he did not repent and went to the bandits with the bandits.

After defecting to the bandits, he intensified his efforts when others were willing to take him in, in order to covet the status of the other party, he killed the person he took in with his own hands, and in order to be in the upper position in the cottage, he exerted his ability to meet the horse.

In the end, it was summed up, Song Jiang ate the king's Lu, did not know how to serve the court, was disloyal, was taught by the teacher, did not know the etiquette, righteousness and shame, did not know how to persuade the family to do good and accumulate virtue, this is unfilial piety, supported by the villagers, not only did not seek the welfare of the villagers, but oppressed the people together with bandits and bullies, this is unkind, being sheltered, not grateful but killing the benefactor with his own hands, this is unjust.

Therefore, this Song Jiang is an unkind, unrighteous, disloyal, unfilial, and unscrupulous scum, the article is not only reasonable, but also cites a large number of facts and arguments, as well as the oral statements of the villagers, and others have seen it with their own eyes, which is definitely a good article
