641 The lament of the vultures
Dang Xiang people have recently been "winter melon skin to make straw hats, circle by circle of mold", not to mention the earthquake cracking, and Xiao Heda to raise troops to rebel against Luàn. But after these two incidents, something happened that made the Western Xia magnates tremble. After March, the chūn famine spread throughout Western Xia, especially around the capital Xingqing Province. What should I do if the people are green and yellow and have no food to eat?
The most endurance in the world is the Han nation, as long as there is enough to eat, it can still live, and it will never rebel. But if you let him not even eat, then it is really "willing to cut his whole body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse". The Han people are still like this, let alone the fierce party Xiang Qiang?
As a result, the most feared thing of the rulers of the past came to light and happened. The first to make a fuss was Weizhou, which is close to Shaanxi, which is the settlement area of the Party Xiang Dabin Department. First they rallied to resist taxes, then they attacked the cities and grabbed food and livestock.
After Weizhou luàn, Ren Dejing's territory, Jingzhou's burying Qing Department also raised troops as luàn. Immediately afterwards, under the rule of Dingzhou in the north of Xingqing Prefecture, the Fu'er Department of the Begging Department revolted at the same time. These rebel troops were at least 10,000 men and horses, and some were 4,000 or 5,000 men. After the Battle of Hengshan, the Xia army was already greatly injured. Ren Dejing attacked Xiao Heda and took away a large number of the main forces of the Xia army. Together, Li Renxiao, who was in the Xingqing Palace, panicked, and hurriedly sent his uncle, Xia Chongzong Li Qianshun's younger brother, and King Chage of Jin to lead the troops to suppress it.
However, the uprising of the party members has shown the trend of sparks and prairie fires, where can it be extinguished? The young Li Renxiao had no choice but to quickly summon Ren Dejing back, Xiao Heda didn't care about it for the time being, and first suppressed the rebellion in Jingzhou, after all, this is close to the capital.
This is in the middle of Ren Dejing's heart, "His brother Ren Deren went to Xingyuan Mansion and was taught the city by others. The Western Army clearly supported Xiao Heda, although he didn't take Xiao Heda in his eyes, but he never dared not to beat the Western Army in his eyes. As soon as Lord Xia's order came, he did not hesitate to "lead the army back through the iron gate."
Xu Wei is secretly having fun, people will inevitably have bad luck in their lives, but it is really rare to be as unlucky as Li Renxiao. Natural disasters ** he has all accounted for. Weizhou is next to Jingyuan Road, how could Xu Wei not fight it? An order was sent to Wang Yu and Xu Cheng, if there is a chance, take Weizhou for me, and we will occupy all the dangers of Hengshan, and the fate of the party members will be in our hands in the future.
"Good news, Captain." , Zhang Qingxi walked into Xu Wei's office with a smile, but his eyes kept staring at the paperwork in his hand.
Xu Wei raised his head and asked, "What's the good news?" Zhang Qing smiled and didn't answer, and directly handed over the document to him, and Zijin Hu took it to take a look, but it was a military report sent by Jingyuan Shuaisi. The Qiang people of Yanwei Prefecture raised righteousness, and the siege of the city was not broken" was defeated by the official army and turned to the Qiang tribes on the border of Jingyuan. Wang Yu and Xu Cheng mobilized more than 10,000 soldiers, and donated grain and grass together, and worked together to defeat the troops of Weizhou Pingluàn, and are now preparing to attack the city again.
"Haha! As soon as Weizhou is over, the states on the border of Western Xia are all under the control of our army, and I have taken all the benefits of Hengshan! How else can the party members jump? Xu Wei looked at it and smiled.
Zhang Qing sat down next to him and sighed: "Think about when we were children, we often heard adults talk about the war in the west. That's called a pain, over and over again, gains and losses, entangled for hundreds of years! But I didn't expect it to be so easy for us to come! Is it providence? Xu Wei doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, but at this time he has to admit: "Indeed, if it weren't for the chaos of the situation in Western Xia, we would never have been able to get it so easily" The party members are really unlucky. "What is even more unfortunate for them is that at the same time as such a great change has happened", the suzerainty has sent all the troops south, and it is unable to help them maintain it. I was thinking that if Wushu didn't come back and the Jin people didn't intervene in the situation, Western Xia might really ......," Zhang Qingdao said.
Hearing this, Xu Wei said: "The Jurchens will not sit idly by, and the Wushu will definitely come back soon, so we have to prepare in advance." Let Lang Yan Marshal strengthen the defense of Linfu Road, and also let Xiao Heda train and accumulate food in case of change. Zhang Qing was just about to speak, when he saw an assistant official walk in and report: "Xuanfu Xianggong, the new Xuanfu judge has entered the city." "Wan Qi Shang? Zhang Qing asked.
"Zhengwu," replied the officer.
Xu Wei thought for a while, stood up, and Zhang Qing saw it: "What?" The captain still wants to meet him? Xu Wei nodded, Zhang Qing also got up, but said: "Taiwei is the chief of Sichuan and Shaanxi, he is a judge but assists the chief in handling affairs, why do you need to go to greet him personally?" At most, let Senator Zhang go, otherwise, it is okay to go to his humble position. "Wan Junshang once served as a prisoner in Shaanxi, familiar with the local situation, and served as a Dali temple secretary in the center, and the imperial court chose him to assist me, which still has some intentions. I can't leave it to others to say, anyway, it's not strange to be polite to many people, I hope it will be good to be kind and angry in the future. Xu Wei said.
"In that case, I'll go with the captain." Zhang Qingdao.
"Call Zhang Jun and Ma Kuo, let's give him enough face." Xu Wei said with a smile.
"Wouldn't it be better if you had made enough face to save face, and found him a place to live, hired a slave for him, and bought him a house?" , Zhang Qing quipped.
Xu Wei chuckled: "It's not to that point, besides, I don't know if people have a pot with us." ”
Wan Qiao, Kaifeng people, Dao Junzheng and two years by the Shangshe Dengdi. Because it was implemented at that time, the "three-rounding method" was adopted, so it did not go through the imperial examination. The surname Wan Jun is said to be derived from Xianbei, so in this way, Wan Qiao's ancestors should be Hu people. If you don't keep it, even if you don't keep it, after so many generations of assimilation, Wan Qiaoyu himself is no different from the Han people.
Nearly sixty years old, he was very lean, and he had a large half-foot-long beard, which made his face look smaller. Squinting his eyes, he staggered and staggered as the car bumped around in the cabin. To be honest, Dali Siqing, the highest judicial officer in the country, and it is in the central place, how comfortable? Alas, it was also bad luck, as soon as the situation in the DPRK and China changed, and the new monarch ascended the throne, he was relegated to other places.
Even if he was brought back by Zhu Shengfei, this ass was not hot yet, and he was sent to Shaanxi again, and he was sent to Xu Wei as a staff member! Alas, I think that back then, when I was in Shaanxi to raise some prisons, Xu Jiu was just a small intellectual, "and now he has become his own commander!" What is this called?
Before leaving, Zhu Xiang repeatedly explained that Xu Ziang had great merit and high prestige, and he must adhere to the principle of "don't break the law." In fact, I know very well that I was chosen to be the * official of the Sichuan Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Division, not only because I had been in Shaanxi. More importantly, he is from a law enforcement background, and when he comes to Sichuan and Shaanxi, he can keep an eye on Xu Wei a little.
After all, this guy has 200,000 Western troops in his hands, and he is also in charge of the administration. Although the current situation requires this, there are still scruples at the top.
"Dare to ask, but the judge's car?" While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone outside ask.
"Exactly, what's wrong with you?" This is the voice of his own servant.
"I heard that Judge Wan Qi arrived in Xingyuan, and Xuanfu Xianggong led his colleagues from the department to greet him." The man shouted.
Wan Qiaowei listened to it in the car, and was startled at first, Xu Wei led the officials of the Xuanfu Division to greet him in person? Then a joy "It seems that they know that I have a lot of background, and they deliberately show goodwill!"
With this in mind, he did not get down immediately, but sat for a while, and then lifted the curtain of the car, and without looking, he fell to the ground with the help of the servants, and smoothed out the wrinkles on his clothes. I looked around at the street scene of Fucheng again, and then I looked at the gate of the pavilion.
"See no, this is a living posturing." Zhang Qing whispered behind Xu Wei.
Ma Kuo also frowned, knowing that the main chiefs of our Xuanfu Division are coming to greet him, what are you doing with a shelf? Hey, you just deal with us, who is Mrs. Xu? Come to greet you in person, this face is big enough, right?"
Even Zhang Jun, who is also from a serious background, thinks that Judge Wan Qi should not be like this, although you are old, "although you are a civil minister, Xu Xuanfu is the highest official" Now you greet you with courtesy, you are a scholar, why are you so rude?
However, Xu Weimian did not change, and naturally stood at the door of the pavilion, watching Wan Qishang slowly come over. In the past, when the two of them were in Shaanxi together, they probably hadn't met, and even if they did, they didn't have much of an impression. Therefore, Wan Qishang came over and did not rush to salute first, but looked at Xu Wei.
Seeing this, Zhang Jun hurriedly came out to play a round and asked, "But Yuan Zhonggong?" "Yuanzhong is the table word of Wan Qili.
"Exactly." Wan Qishang replied.
"This is Xu Xuanfu." Zhang Jun introduced.
Wan Qiyu raised his hand at this time, and said lightly: "I have seen Xuanfu Xianggong, I was sent by the Son of Heaven to praise the envoys, and I will be the same council member with Xianggong in the future." ”
This sentence is not so much an "opening statement" as a "reminder". Xuanfu Judge belongs to the staff of the post level, no matter how senior you are, you are still a staff member after all, you are an auxiliary officer to handle official affairs, not a "fellow councilor". Moreover, he deliberately pointed out that he was sent by the Son of Heaven, which is quite meaningful.
Xu Wei obviously heard it, and said with a smile: "In the past, Yuan Zhonggong was in charge of the prison in Shaanxi, and Wei sat in Guanzhong, so he only hated not having the opportunity to see him. Now that the official family has sent Judge Wan Qi to Sasuke, he will definitely be able to help me. ”
Wan Qian smiled perfunctorily, and Zhang Jun met Zhang Qing and Ma Kuo again. When facing Xu Wei, he can still be a little polite, but when Zhang Qing, who was born in a grass people, is in a high position, Ma Kuo, the culprit of Lianjin, and the officials and staff officers salute him, Wan Qili is obviously not very happy.
He didn't return the courtesy, nor was he polite, just slightly leading.
"Judge Wan Qi has worked hard all the way, forget it today, and rest, and wait for the next day to set up a banquet to wash the dust with the Duke of Yuanzhong." Xu Weidao.
Wan Qishang listened to it, and said lukewarmly: "These clichés will be avoided, and I will go to the Xuanfu Division tomorrow to sit in the hall." ”
"Okay, since that's the case, let's rest at the pavilion first, and I won't bother." Xu Wei saluted politely, and then led a few people to get on the horse and leave.
As soon as he walked a few steps, Ma Kuo became angry: "This guy is simply no one!" ”
"Look at his virtue! Not only did he not put you and me in his eyes, but he was also a captain with a gun, and he had something to say! Hum! Zhang Qing was also on fire.
In front of Zhang Jun, Xu Wei didn't say anything else, but said: "He is old, and he has been a Dali temple secretary, and he will inevitably have some emotions when he is placed in the place." ”
Zhang Deyuan obviously knew why the other party said this, and immediately said: "Yuan Zhonggong is indeed a little rude today, just as Xuanfu Xianggong said, I am afraid that there are some emotions, and there may be no other meaning." ”
Xu Wei smiled and didn't say anything more. But the first time they met, he dispelled the idea of harmony with Wan Qili.
In March of the eighth year of Jianwu, Zhao Chen "listened" to the advice of the prime ministers and sent Li Ruoshui as an envoy to Bangzhou to meet with Zong Bi, and formally reached an armistice agreement.
But Wushu is a Wushu after all, and he has no choice but to retreat, but he is prepared for the Song army to launch a counterattack after he leads the army to retreat north. And he thinks that if it were him, he would definitely do the same. Then he left Wuyan Puluhun to sit in Tokyo, presided over the military, and led the elite troops to Caizhou, Tangzhou, with the fierce general Chi Zhanhui, to guard against Jinghu and Huaixi.
After the arrangements were made, Wushu led the troops back to the north.
In this southern expedition, Wushu gathered all the elites he could muster, and he was originally full of ambition, but when he set out on the expedition, he never imagined that it would end like this. Although there was no big defeat this time, and even the defeat of He Guan could be called a great military achievement, in his opinion, it was still defeated. Because of the strategic goal of seizing Xianghan, there was no progress at all.
Although, Zong Bi had to admit that in the past ten years, the Song army's combat power has risen rapidly in repeated battles with the Jin army, and it is no longer the rotten army that collapsed at the touch of a button at the beginning of the war. But this sheep is not the main reason for this failure.
The main reason is that in Western Xia, as the suzerain, Daikin cannot be left alone. In addition, there is the "...... Xu Wei! Damn Xu Wei, who was plagued! Why every major critical moment! This purple gold! Since my second brother was in the Yellow River, Xu Wei has not known how many good things he has done to Dajin Country! This time, he actually took advantage of the opportunity of Luàn in Western Xia to send troops to seize the Lin Mansion, and pointed his troops to Youyun! So much so that Yanjing was terrified! From the emperor to the officials, they all urged me to go back! If not, how could I have given up so easily?
In the past, it failed to capture the whole of Shaanxi and failed to defeat the Western Army, and finally made it gradually bigger. Now Xu Wei not only protects himself, but even makes a fool of himself everywhere, and even tries to influence the situation in Western Xia! How can the Dajin Kingdom tolerate it!
With full of anger, helplessness, and disappointment, Wushu arrived at the Yellow River. When passing the Zijin Tiger Pontoon Bridge, he stood on the Ma River, looked back at the south, and couldn't help but sigh secretly: This time back, the Dajin Kingdom may not be able to launch a large-scale southern expedition. The grand plan to destroy the Song Dynasty and dominate the world is only afraid that I will not be able to complete it......
