Chapter 367: The Feeling of a Strong Country
After decades of bad spirits, the Great Song Dynasty finally puffed up his chest, and the court was all happy, Zhao Zhen ordered the political affairs hall to leave all the 3 million military salaries saved by disarmament to the Privy Council to expand the army, and he asked the third division to take out another 2 million guan to fill the military. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Even if the civilian clique doesn't pinch it in its heart, it can't stop it, so it can only watch as resources are tilted towards the military.
In addition, there is one more thing on the agenda, that is, how to deal with the aftermath, the Liao State attacked the Great Song Dynasty and was beaten to the ground, and it can't be let go so easily, in the past, the Liao State blackmailed the Great Song Dynasty, and this time it is time to change positions.
Zhao Zhen urgently needed to find a man of sufficient weight to go to Liao to fight for the interests of the Great Song Dynasty.
"If Your Majesty doesn't give up, the old minister is willing to go."
It was the drunkard Ouyang Xiu who stood up, who had also worked in the position of the Imperial Emperor for several years, and he didn't impeach the officials much, which made Ouyang Xiu's hands itch, so he had to find something to do.
When Zhao Zhen saw that it was him, his heart immediately burst into joy, there was no one more suitable than Ouyang Xiu!
This person, who had been to Liao in his early years, and was also a teacher and friend with Wang Ningan, how to deal with the affairs of Liao, let him discuss with Wang Ningan, and he would not have to worry about it.
"Uncle Yong, I won't talk about the conditions for peace talks, don't be ruthless with that kid, you go to him to discuss!"
"Yes!"
Ouyang Xiu received the will and successfully became the envoy to Liao, he bid farewell to Zhao Zhen and rushed to Bazhou.
Less than a month ago, it was the battlefield of the Song-Liao confrontation.
After such a long time, there are still many war scars, the city wall is mottled, the northwest corner is still missing, and outside the city, there are many newly built mounds, which are buried with soldiers and civilians who died in battle.
One grave bag after another, it was very sad to see people's hearts twitching.
The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years!
Fighting is always so cruel!
But fortunately, Da Song won, and won beautifully!
The people at the border pass are the most tenacious group of people, they have experienced too much life and death, they have become accustomed to it, and they can quickly recover from the war and live enthusiastically again.
Wang Ningan did his best to give subsidies to the soldiers who died in the war, even ordinary people had bounties to take.
On average, a household can get 20 yuan, and in Bazhou, this money is enough to open a small restaurant, or set up a stall on the street to sell soup cakes and steamed buns to feed a family.
In addition, Wang Ning'an picked out all the war horses that were injured in the army, and these war horses could no longer go to the battlefield to gallop and charge, but their bodies were still relatively strong, pulling carts and plowing the land, and they could withstand three or five laborers, and he picked out some of the captured horses, and made up 5,000 war horses, and gave them to Yantou Village, Tianjia Village and Wolf City Village to compensate for the poor people who lost their loved ones.
There is another point, that is, prisoners, this time the Wang family army almost captured more than 3,000 prisoners, which can only be loaded with two military camps. Wang Ning'an ordered that all the small leaders among them were picked out, gathered together, ate and drank, and as for the others, they were directly sent to the livestock market, and the cattle and horses were put together and sold to the outside world.
When Ouyang Xiu came from the capital, he saw many merchants, especially the factory owners of the Pingxian generation, all running over, surrounding these Liao captives, picking and choosing, bargaining, and the old master shook his head.
"That is, you Wang Erlang can do this kind of thing, you are not afraid of the impeachment of the imperial history?"
Wang Ningan didn't care about the stalls, "Whatever, anyway, if there are more lice, don't bite, don't worry if you have too many debts, just play the table, I don't care about it for a long time." ”
Yes, Wang Ningan has nothing to care about!
Since his debut, there have been thousands of impeachment performances accumulated, and other dynasties don't know how, but with the Song Dynasty, Wang Ningan is definitely the one who has suffered the most bullets.
The courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty want to be faced, and after being scolded, they have to write a letter to ask for resignation, once not twice, twice not three times, even if Jia Changchao is that kind of goods, he can't bear dozens of bullets, so he has to slap his ass and leave.
Only Wang Ningan, as if impeachment is tickling, doesn't care at all, and never refutes it, let alone writes to resign...... The most interesting thing is that his official position is getting bigger and bigger, especially after he became the minister of finance, he took over as the prefect of Hejian and the pacification envoy of Hebei East Road, like a member of the imperial court.
Especially after winning the Liao State this time, with outstanding meritorious achievements, our Wang Erlang has the qualifications to impact the political hall.
In private, many people are secretly talking about it, saying that Wang Ningan is a cotton bag that is getting bigger and bigger!
"That's a fart, Lao Tzu's iron mallet, it's not cotton!" Wang Ningan scolded indignantly.
Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly, "Don't care what they say, what do you think is going to happen in this war?" ”
"This is easy, let the Liao State hand over the sixteen states of Yanyun, naturally there is nothing to do." Wang Ningan ruffian.
Ouyang Xiu was so angry that he slapped a teacup and said angrily: "You kid is serious, can Liao Guo agree to this kind of thing?" You are an idiot to be an old man, even if the Liao Kingdom gives up Yanyun, do we have the ability to defend it? ”
Don't really say it, Ouyang Xiu didn't have a fever in his head, so he didn't care about it, he had already done a good job on the road, and he felt that it was already very good that Liao Guo could swallow the dumb loss of Bohai State.
"The price is all over the sky, do you want to pay it back by sitting on the ground!" Wang Ningan laughed dryly, he moistened his throat, and said casually: "I think I can order New Year's coins!" ”
"New Year's coins? You are cheap, we won, how can we give it back to ......" Ouyang Xiu said this, his old face was flushed, and he couldn't help but breathe shortly, and his hands and feet trembled.
Even if the cave room flower candle was the groom's official, Ouyang Xiu had never been so excited, he stood up unconsciously, and pointed at Wang Ningan with trembling fingers.
Wang Ningan was frightened, and said that the old master was going to have a stroke!
"Quick, call the Imperial Doctor!"
"Go aside!"
Ouyang Xiu stretched out his hand and grabbed Wang Ning'an's clothes, staring at it with his two eyes, "Erlang, you tell me the truth, can you get the New Year's coin?" ”
Wang Ningan subconsciously scratched his head, but the old master glared fiercely, and he put his hand down again.
"I think I should be able to get it, after all, the Liao State was defeated, and it ......"
"And what?"
"And Yelu Chongyuan has already sent someone to ventilate me, hoping to restore peace, and Chongyuan has said a lot of good things. I think he wants to take the opportunity to win the heir, and Liao's domestic and foreign troubles have to bow his head! ”
Ouyang Xiu's brows furrowed, and he fell into thought, his hand couldn't help but let go, and he sat down.
"New Year's coins, New Year's coins!"
Ouyang Xiu was emotional, "Erlang, do you know what these two words mean?" It's a shame! What a shame! Ouyang Xiu danced with his hands and roared loudly, "What are we, Yanhuang and Miao descendants, Chinese nobles, the most noble group of people in the world!" We have also had shame, the Han and Tang dynasties were once reconciled, relying on women in exchange for peace! There's no shame in that! Because the Han and Tang dynasties tried their courage and trained hard to train elite soldiers, they finally took revenge and beat the barbarians to the ground! Only my Great Song Dynasty, who has suffered the shame of decades of years, but no one knows the shame and courage, the national situation has not been reversed at all, the army is declining day by day, and I can't see the day of revenge! If we can't take revenge, we will be the laughing stock of eternity! Become the most despised group of people by your descendants! ”
Ouyang Xiu grabbed Wang Ning'an's shoulder and kept shaking.
"Erlang, do you know, the old man is so relieved and happy to hear that you have won! The shame is gone, we can hold our chests up, and finally have an explanation to the people of the world and the descendants of future generations......"
Ouyang Xiu chattered endlessly, saying a lot, and when it came to it, he didn't even know what he was talking about...... Wang Ningan could feel the ecstasy of the old master, in fact, he also felt that his idea was good, as long as he could force the Liao State to pay the New Year's coin, even if it was only the usual money, it would be a glory! It is enough to wash away the shame since the Abyss Alliance.
The Great Song Dynasty has been suppressed for too long, and everyone who has been suppressed has lost their blood and courage...... If it is not reversed, when no one in the Great Song Dynasty can toss, they can only turn around and toss themselves, and the great prosperity of science will be inevitable.
Wang Ningan feels that a country's thinking is actually very related to the national situation, when the national situation rises, it is natural to be high-spirited and brave to open up, and the set of the Cheng brothers will have no market...... However, the country's strength is weak, and it can't beat the Liao, the Western Xia, the Jin, or Mongolia...... can only turn his head and scold himself, and it is normal to "save heavenly principles and destroy people's desires".
In this case, this battle is the beginning of the Great Song Dynasty to become a strong country!
Wang Ningan really wanted to go to Liaoguo and see Yelu Hongji's unlucky appearance...... "You can't go if anyone goes!" Believe it or not, as long as you appear in Liao, they promise to kill you at all costs! ”
There is no need for Ouyang Xiu to remind him, Wang Ningan also knows, "Drunkard, you are still too gentleman, I'll send you an assistant!" ”
Wang Ningan thought about it, and then brought Zhang Dun over, he had two immoral villains, Lu Huiqing was still in Liaoguo, and this time he pulled Zhang Dun out.
"Mr. Wang, and all of you, please rest assured, no matter what I go, I will bring Brother Jifu back, even if there is only one corpse, a few bones, or even a piece of clothing left, I will never let him bury his bones in a foreign country and bury his soul in a foreign country!"
After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he wiped his tears, as if he was so sad!
At this time, in Nanjing, Liao, that is, Youzhou City, Lu Huiqing sneezed a few times and shook his head, who the hell cursed himself?
At this moment, two women from the Western Regions wearing plain yarn pounced on them, using their hot bodies to warm Lu Huiqing, their big watery eyes were full of concern, for fear that this noble man would be a little uncomfortable......
Lu Huiqing was made hot all over, he swallowed and spit, and pushed the two people away with difficulty.
"Go, bring the official uniform to the official!"
The two beauties saw that the adult's face was ugly, so they could only obediently dress him neatly.
Lu Huiqing sat in the study like this, and waited for less than half an hour before Yelu Chongyuan's son Nerugu came.
"Xiao Wang has seen Mr. Lu, my father is invited, please hurry up!"
Lu Huiqing smiled slightly, "Little prince, please let me go, in case it spreads, I'm afraid it won't be good for your father and son?" Can that prince be happy? ”
Nerugu sneered, "The general of the defeated army, how dare you speak bravely!" Don't talk about him, Mr. Lu, the leaders of the sixteen states of Yanyun are waiting for you! ”
