Chapter 364: Good News Spreads Frequently
Since the beginning of the war, Zhao Zhen has been in a high degree of tension, and decades of Wen Tian and Wu Xi can not be changed overnight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He has a lot of ambitions and ideas, to promote the good and eliminate the bad, and to leave a prosperous and peaceful future for his children and grandchildren. But when you really do it, you know how difficult it is.
The Hebei Legion, after rectification, can be used less than 70,000 men and horses, the Great Song Dynasty, which has always been known for its large number of men and horses, compared with the Liao State, can not form a military advantage, can Zhao Zhen not be ashamed?
"Di Aiqing, has my Great Song Dynasty's military system really suffered from this?"
Di Qing didn't dare to conceal it, "Returning to the saints, there is a shortage of empty salaries, this is a chronic disease for generations, and in the past few decades, the imperial court has lacked procedures for selecting generals, which has made the generals unconscious, and they have no other ability than to make money and bribe their bosses." ā
Di Qing concealed the real reason, as a kind person, Di Qing would not casually sue the black, even if the evidence was conclusive!
The martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty are also divided into three levels, the solution test, the meeting test, the palace test, the most important of which is the test, that is, the military department presiding, if it has always been difficult to avoid shady scenes in the imperial examination, then the martial arts are all black from the inside out. Due to the high requirements for military generals in the Song Dynasty, it was hoped that they would be all-round in civil and military affairs, qualified in archery and horse-riding, and able to write articles in order to pass the imperial examination.
The design that seems to make sense is simply playing with people!
First of all, the difficulty of archery is reduced, and you can pass it with a few strokes of practice, but people with real kung fu can't take advantage.
As for the examination of the article, this is even more nonsense, if you can write the article in a colorful way, why don't people go to the examination of the essay, why waste energy!
And the article is really difficult to distinguish between the good and the bad.
To put it bluntly, the people who come out of Wuju are all half-assed, their kung fu is not very good, and their article skills are also ordinary, typical waste snacks. Looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, there is no famous minister or general who came out of Wuju.
Of course, everyone can see the decline of martial arts, in the final analysis, it is a lack of talent, in the Qingli New Deal, Fan Zhongyan proposed to imitate the official schools in various places, set up martial arts, and cultivate generals.
The idea is very good, but it's a pity that the martial arts only lasted for 100 days, and it ended miserably, for the simple reason that no one signed up at all!
For a long time, the Great Song Dynasty owed too many debts.
Zhao Zhen looked around, except for Di Qingneng Counselor Military Aircraft, no one else was good, in the locality, the generals who led the troops were even more scarce, only Wang Liangjing had barely emerged in recent years, and the rest Yang Huaiyu and others were still too tender.
When it was time to fight, I had to use Wang De, who was in his old age, and I had to pull Wang Ningan to make up the numbers!
Faced with such a bleak situation, Zhao Zhen really wanted to cry, but he wanted to cry without tears!
"In any case, after this big war, I will revive martial arts and truly cultivate generals who can lead troops to fight."
Hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Di Qing couldn't stop her tears and sighed very emotionally, "That's true, my Great Song is blessed!" ā
Zhao Zhen smiled wryly, "It's just a remedy, I hope it's not too late!" ā
Zhao Zhen has already ordered that all those sent from Hebei should be sent directly to the imperial front, and no matter what time there is, there is no delay, and if you delay for a while, you will be punished for delaying the military aircraft.
Zhao Zhen picked up Wang Deyong's courier, and before he finished reading it, he was so anxious that he slapped the table.
"Ridiculous, ridiculous!"
Zhao Zhen was angry, Wang De was so old, how could he let him go to Bazhou to top, is there really no one in this Great Song Dynasty?
Di Qing saw that the emperor was extremely angry, his face was purple, he hurriedly bowed down and asked the reason, Zhao Zhen endured his anger and threw the express to Di Qing.
"Look at it!"
took it and watched it from beginning to end, Di Qing's face also had a fever, shame, what a shame! I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.
It's just that Di Qing understands military affairs better than Zhao Zhen after all, and he thought for a while, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the old general Wang is more familiar with the situation in front of the army, although he went to Bazhou to take risks, but with the experience of the old general, it is more than enough to defend the city." Moreover, the father and son of the Wang family, one is full of tricks, and the other can fight habitually, and with the strength in their hands, they may not be able to inflict heavy losses on the Liao soldiers. ā
Note that Di Qing used a heavy blow, and he couldn't believe that Wang Jiajun could win.
Di Qing suggested to Zhao Zhen that the 5,000 Jingsai Iron Cavalry in the capital should immediately prepare for the expedition, and once the Hebei battlefield was lost, Di Qing was willing to personally lead the troops and fight to the death with Liao Kou!
Zhao Zhen was very helpless, but there was no other way, in the next few days, the emperor was very irritable, he didn't go to the queen's palace to visit the little prince, for fear of bringing bad emotions over.
Because of his momentary anger, he actually severely blamed several palace maids and eunuchs, and some of them were beaten into disabilities.
Afterwards, Zhao Zhen regretted it very much, but he just couldn't control it, he seemed like he was about to explode at any time, especially in the face of several ministers in the court, he didn't have a good face.
Zhao Zhen repeatedly urged the salary, and at the same time ordered Jia Changchao to refer to the scale of official schools, each official school should correspond to a martial arts, the number of students enrolled by both sides should be equal, and martial arts should have more subsidies, to give war horses, bows and arrows......
The emperor's promotion of martial arts made many Wenchen feel uncomfortable and had the heart to oppose it, but at this juncture, who has the courage to write a book!
In this way, it has lasted for five days, Hebei sent an urgent delivery again, this time it was sent by Wang Ning'an, he played Zhao Zhen, Yelu Hongji detoured to attack the Baoding army, and the Cangzhou soldiers had been dispatched to intercept and kill Yelu Hongji.
When this urgent delivery came, the government hall immediately exploded.
What are you kidding, Yelu Hongji has 40,000 people, how many Cangzhou soldiers are there, less than 20,000, how many can be dispatched? According to Wang Ningan, there are only 10,000 people!
One against four!
When you are what? Heavenly soldiers?
The comparison of men and horses is almost the same, and it is a fool's dream to defeat the army of Liao with 10,000 people, and Yelu Hongji is the prince of Liao, and the men and horses in his hands are the elite of Liao, how can it be a joke!
"The old minister thinks that he should immediately give an order to Lord Wang, so that he should be cautious and not underestimate the enemy." It was Zeng Gongliang who spoke.
Han Qi's eyes rolled, he also wanted to stand up and say a few words, but the problem was that Han Qi felt that Wang Ning'an, this kid, was very evil, and how many times he was obviously bound to lose, he let him pull it over!
This is true of the battle of copper prices, and the same is true of the affairs of the Bohai Kingdom...... If he makes trouble again, he Han Xianggong will have no face to mix in the court.
For the sake of safety, he could only give Wang Yaochen a look and let him speak.
Wang Yaochen had no choice but to stand up.
"Prime Minister Zeng, in my opinion, it is too late to give an edict to Lord Wang at this time, but I am afraid that even the Baoding Army may not be able to keep it!"
Zeng Gongliang said with a dark face: "Xianggong Wang, don't talk nonsense and disturb the morale of the army!" ā
Wang Yaochen chuckled and said: "If I didn't mean to do this, but Lord Wang is young and vigorous, I don't know the severity, with 10,000 horses, how can I win against 40,000 iron horsemen of the Liao Kingdom?" It is a trivial matter that he was defeated, but the gateway to Hebei is open, the capital is uneasy, and the consequences are so serious, I really don't know who can bear it! ā
He still wanted to continue, but Jia Changchao peeked at Zhao Zhen's face and was obviously very unhappy, he couldn't stop talking.
"Wang Xianggong, this is not the time to say cool words, you have a way to take it out, if you have no way, think about it more, don't talk casually!"
God is pitiful, Wang Yaochen is also a governor of political affairs, a dignified deputy minister, and was taught a lesson by others as a child, and he was angry for a while, and his hair stood up!
"What else can I do! Of course, it is to strengthen the vigilance, to protect the safety of the capital first, and then send someone to the Daimyo's Mansion to supervise the division, if the Liao soldiers break the Daimyo's Mansion, it will be too late! ā
At this time, Wang Yaochen turned his gaze to Di Qing, and said coldly: "Di Shuxiang, at the moment, only you can fight well in the court, and I am afraid that the overall situation of Hebei will have you to preside, Di Shuxiang will not shirk it, right?" ā
Di Qing heard Wang Yaochen's ridicule, there was no way, Wang Yaochen won the top prize in the examination that year, and Donghuamen was famous, and the scenery was infinite. At that time, Di Qing was still a thief with an army, and others envied the scenery of the champion, but the young and frivolous Di Qing said that he might not be as good as the champion......
Decades have passed, and Di Qing has really become a privy envoy, and his position exceeds that of the champion of the year.
Since then, people are full of awe of Di Qing, and when they mention him, they always like to pull out the champion of the year, especially in recent years, Wang Yaochen has been frequently pulled out and whipped the corpse, which makes Wang Xianggong extremely depressed, and his prejudice against Wufu has become deeper and deeper, and it has reached the point of paranoia.
Di Qing is usually very polite to all the ministers, and even treats them with a teacher's courtesy, but his concessions are not exchanged for respect, and people have intensified.
Di Qing's face was gloomy, and he finally said loudly: "Wang Xianggong, Di is not a person who is afraid of death, if he really needs it, Di will not regret his death!" Now that Bazhou is not lost, Lord Wang is not defeated, and he asserts that the Liao soldiers are going to kill him, which is nonsense at all! Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, Lord Wang is at least half sure that he will defeat Yelu Hongji! ā
Wang Yaochen was annoyed and angry, "Di Qing, there is only half a chance to dare to talk to the court?" You must know that once Wang Ningan is defeated, the consequences will be so serious! Can you afford it? ā
Syllable!
Without warning, Zhao Zhen suddenly slapped the table.
"Don't make any noise! Ask the doctor to see a doctor, and ask Mr. to teach. I can trust Di Aiqing's judgment and Wang Qing's ability, just wait for the news! ā
Next, it was another almost difficult day, and Zhao Zhen almost went crazy waiting.
Just when it was about to collapse, the news finally came.
"Good news, Your Majesty, the Red City Walled City is a great victory! Lord Wang broke 40,000 Liao soldiers! ā
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he actually stood up excitedly, grabbed the good news, tore it open and watched, and only after reading a few lines, Zhao Zhen laughed out loud.
"Wang Qing really didn't live up to me!"
Not long after reading this good news, someone ran in again.
"Good news, the siege of Bazhou is solved, and General Wang is safe and sound!"
Zhao Zhen was dancing excitedly, but Wang Yaochen on the side was red and sweaty, standing there like a clown!
This is not the end, the next day, another continuous good news came, Wang Liangjing's army crossed the Juma River, captured the new city, and the Liao soldiers fled again...... Okay, they all entered the territory of Liao, what a tiger general is a strong soldier!
