Chapter 253: Giving out red envelopes during the New Year
Thang Long Mansion as the capital of Jiaozhi, there are also sixty or seventy thousand people, not a small number, in order to completely destroy, Wang Ning'an enough to let people burn for more than a day, in the end, he also used 50,000 catties of gunpowder, buried in the four cities respectively, the city wall was all blown down, leaving a piece of scorched earth and ruins.

When everything was dealt with, Wang Ningan swaggered towards the mouth of the Red River with his subordinates.
He took with him only thirty thousand taels of gold, as well as gold and silver looted from the homes of some of the ministers, and four or five thousand horses. Most of these horses are Yunnan horses, very short, most of them are from Dali, but the body is strong, the limbs are thick, not only can consign goods, the soldiers after a thousand breaks have also caught the horse, the big guy talks and laughs, it doesn't look like a war at all, but a bit of a taste of running to an armed parade.
After leaving Thang Long Mansion for a long time, Zhao Zongjing pinched his thigh fiercely, it hurt very much!
"Oh my God, is this true?"
He couldn't believe it now, a total of 3,000 people were dispatched, only 2,000 participated in the battle, and only 1,000 cavalry were attacked...... There are very few people and horses, but the results are surprisingly large!
In fact, they had more than 50,000 Jiaozhi soldiers and civilians in their hands, penetrated 200 miles into the enemy's territory, captured one of the capitals, scared the emperor to death, and seized no property...... Even when it was done, it was like a dream.
"I said Erlang, the Jiaozhi people are so dish, why did we still escape, why don't we just occupy the entire Jiaozhi and expand the territory?"
Zhao Zongjing sat on horseback and kept looking at both sides.
The Red River Plain, a horse and a flat river, the land is fertile, the rain is sufficient, three crops a year, such a large piece of treasure land, if developed, can top half of the Jiangnan!
Zhao Zongjing tasted the sweetness, his ambition swelled faster than Wang Ning'an, and he even longed to include Jiaozhi in the territory......
In fact, Wang Ningan didn't have this idea, but he knew very well that winning a war, destroying a country, and completely controlling a region were completely different concepts.
"My little prince, according to the latest information, the largest Haoqiang Li family in Jiaozhi has mobilized 20,000 horses, and more than 30,000 people who have penetrated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty have also been transferred back, plus the Chen family, as well as the divisions of the Qin Kings from all walks of life, a total of no less than 100,000 people, are rapidly surrounding, do you say we still want to stay in Shenglong Mansion?"
When Zhao Zongjing heard this, he shrank his neck in fright, and simply didn't mention anything.
Although the cavalry of the Wang family army is powerful, but the good tiger can't stand a group of wolves, not to mention that the Jiaozhi people occupy the right time and place, once they fall into a fierce battle, it must be the Great Song Dynasty who suffers.
In fact, Wang Ning'an entered the palace this time, and what he imitated was the tactics of later generations, and he attacked decisively, and he was ruthless all at once, breaking the bones of Jiaozhi, making them feel painful and suffering heavy losses, and they could not recover in ten or eight years.
Then, never love to fight, withdraw quickly, and leave a mess to the Jiaozhi people to deal with by themselves.
Of course, Wang Ning'an would not give up the treasure land of Jiaozhi, he withdrew the men and horses, and then put pressure on Jiaozhi from both land and water, and the army was not launched, forcing Jiaozhi to compete with the Great Song Dynasty, depleting their national strength.
Counting on the fingers, the Central Plains Dynasty has only been a hundred years, and the first half of it is warlord scuffle, local division, the foundation of the whole country is very weak, and the degree of integration is also very poor.
Burning down Thang Long Mansion is definitely Wang Ning'an's deliberate action, so that he will not attack a city because he hates his name, which is too shallow.
If you destroy Thang Long Mansion, you will destroy the imperial power of Cochin, destroy the heart and brain of the country, and then apply high pressure, and Cochin will most likely be re-split into countless small pieces, turning into local divisions and killing each other.
At this time, the power of the Great Song Dynasty will be able to easily go deep into Jiaozhi and take this piece of feng shui treasure land in their hands with the smallest cost.
In order to conquer the big empire, first the British and French coalition forces burned the Old Summer Palace, and then the Eight-Nation Coalition fought again, burning, killing and looting, destroying the dignity of the empire, and then plundered away.
If the soldiers and horses were a little stronger, Wang Ningan really wanted to force the Jiaozhi people to sign an unequal treaty to satisfy the feeling of being a great power, but unfortunately he only had 3,000 men and horses, and he didn't dare to stay too long, so he could only fight quickly.
In order to vent the regret in his heart, Wang Ningan ordered to burn all the villages along the way, kill people when they saw them, and the whole group of robbers and bandits, where they passed, there was nothing left.
From landing to leaving, it took them only five days.
The flotilla, laden with a harvest, set sail, and waited more than three days after they had left before the army of Cochins dared to take over the port. Facing a piece of ruins, I couldn't cry without tears.
Some people shouted that they wanted to find the Great Song Dynasty to take revenge and kill all the Song people.
It's just that this voice was quickly drowned out, Li Foma died, the country can't be without a king for a day, who should inherit the throne? Some people supported Li Foma's son, but many more criticized the Li family, saying that they could not even hold the country, lost their morality to the people, and were not worthy of continuing to be emperor.
If Wang Ningan chooses to stay, the Jiaozhi people may be the same enemy, but the cunning Wang Ningan ran away, and the remaining Jiaozhi people quickly fell into infighting and could not extricate themselves.
……
Wang Ningan and Zhao Zongjing were like two fools, sitting on the bow of the boat, laughing, Zhao Zongjing babbled and told Wang Ningan that he dreamed that Lan'er gave birth to a big fat boy for him, he became a father, and urged Wang Ningan to marry Yang Xi as soon as possible, if he gave birth to a girl, he would order a doll, and if it was a boy, he would be his godson. How can Wang Ningan agree, to be your godson, and not be infected by you to become mentally retarded!
Zhao Zongjing persevered, completely unaware that he had provoked a big basket, since they sent troops to fight each other, the six hundred miles from Lingnan had not stopped, and the entire capital was boiling.
The first to send the capital to an expedited is to serve the imperial history Tian Hong, the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty are different, there is no special party to patrol the imperial history, but the imperial history will also be sent from time to time to supervise local prisons and other affairs, Tian Hong is in charge of Guangnan West Road.
Military affairs were not under the jurisdiction of this one, but when he heard that Wang Ning'an and Zhao Zongjing, the little prince, were sent to fight together, he immediately felt that the matter was too big and had to play.
In the text, Tian Hong's words were fierce.
He pointed out that there were no less than 100,000 men and horses in Jiaozhi, and the terrain was complicated, and the people were fierce, so it was not easy to start a war.
Wang Ning'an is young and ignorant, and he is good at provoking borders, Lingnan has just experienced the rebellion of Nong Zhigao, and it has withered.
According to this, Tian Hong even impeached Di Qing for being greedy and reckless, completely ignorant of the overall situation, conniving at and cover-up, stupid and incompetent, unable to hold a heavy responsibility, and must be immediately dismissed.
It is not strange that the feudal officials were impeached, but Xiao Gu impeached Di Qing and others before, which caused Zhao Zhen's monstrous anger, and Lingnan officialdom came to a big reshuffle.
Han Jiang is still handling cases in Lingnan, and no one can say how many heads have landed.
The Son of Heaven trusts Di Qing, this is something that anyone can see, and if he is impeached, he will only trap himself in it.
Even those who have always liked to bite people have not flare-up easily. But then there was more and more news from all parties, including Di Qing, who sent reports.
Di Qing said that Jiaozhi was rude and had to be severely punished, and he was deploying a battle against Jiaozhi.
To pacify Wang Ning'an, it was to encircle Wei to save Zhao and force the Jiaozhi people to retreat. is as steady as Di Qing, he didn't dare to brag indiscriminately, and he didn't know what Wang Ningan could become.
It's just that Di Qing didn't expect that his prudence would provoke a large group of laymen to point fingers, and they all accused Di Qing of coming to the ground.
How to hand over the affairs of the country to two young people!
Moreover, when dealing with vassals, it is necessary to salute first and then to fight, and envoys should be sent to condemn them sternly, and it is enough to force Jiaozhi to withdraw from the army.
These are just normal criticisms, and gradually there are all kinds of things to say, some people say that Di Qing did not ask for a decree, and he casually attacked a country, because he had bad intentions and wanted to lay down his toes and establish himself as a king.
Some people also say that they want to support Zhao Zongjing and divide it in Lingnan. Sending Wang Ningan and Zhao Zongjing to Jiaozhi was not a war at all, but to borrow troops to prepare for a rebellion......
……
I have to say that the brains of civil officials are really big enough, and all kinds of arguments are very loud.
Fortunately, since Song Zhen was deflated, the ministers of the two prefectures did not follow suit, so they did not let the farce expand.
Approaching the Chinese New Year, Zhao Zhen was hungry and sad, and countless scholars of later generations said how prosperous and rich the economy of the two Song Dynasty was, but our emperor was the most difficult one.
The people celebrate the New Year, and the emperor also has to pass the New Year.
Since the great reversal of affairs in Lingnan, it is a matter of time before Song Zhen is dismissed, he stays on the stage, nothing more than waiting for the results of Lingnan's affairs, and who to replace Song Zhen, Zhao Zhen has not thought about it, so it has been delayed.
Of course, being a monk for a day and hitting the clock for a day, Song Zhen still has to pick up the burden of the prime minister.
The financial settlement at the end of the year made him want to cry without tears.
All kinds of military spending, officials, and water conservancy workers, calculated and calculated, there was a gap of 4 million yuan, and he and Fu Bi held this settlement list and went to face the saint head-on.
"I said Brother Yanguo, you have to cover up for me a lot!"
Fu Bi smiled bitterly, "The country is difficult, let's bear the burden together!" ”
The two ministers were full of sorrow, and when they saw Zhao Zhen, Song Zhen took the initiative to ask for guilt, "The ministers are incompetent, and they have mistaken the affairs of the court, so I implore Your Majesty to surrender their crimes." ”
Zhao Zhen was silent for a moment, and said with a smile: "Can't you come up with the money to rectify the endgame in Lingnan for me?" ”
Song Zhen's head lowered even deeper, and Fu Bi had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can levy taxes on several wealthy state capitals, such as Suzhou and Hangzhou, if he can levy additional taxes until the emperor's blessing for five years, he should be able to raise 1.5 million guan, and the third division will allocate another 500,000 guan to make up 2 million guan, as long as there is no war, it should be barely enough!" ”
It's a good idea to raise taxes again!
Zhao Zhen suddenly laughed out loud, "You don't have to worry, isn't this the New Year, there are filial late-born juniors, and instead of the red envelopes of the elders, they give money to the elders." ”
Song Zhen and Fu Bi were both stunned, and only heard Zhao Zhen say: "Zong Jing and Wang Qing gave me 30,000 taels of gold once, what do the two ministers think?" ”
