Chapter 354: Starting from the Blind Felt (2)
"Bachelor......" Chang Mingde's eyes widened, how could this be possible.
Zhao Xun ran back and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, how should the last general fight?" ”
He asked for 12,000 troops, Zheng Lang waved his hand and gave him 30,000, which made him very happy, but he forgot one thing, he had no command, and the number one commander of Jingyuan Road had not spoken.
Zheng Lang smiled and said, "I just came to Jingyuan, I don't know anything, since you have been preparing to fight this battle for a long time, you should have some arrangements in your heart and make your own decisions." Song Xianggong and Lu Xianggong praised you when you came, don't let me and the two Xianggongs in the capital down. ”
"Oh," Zhao Xun was even happier, he was afraid that these Wenchen would point fingers, and it would be best for Zheng Lang not to interfere.
Zheng Lang still smiled, you are not afraid of me pointing fingers, although I don't know much about it, but I won't command indiscriminately, I'm afraid that the future military general will point fingers at you.
But looking at the energetic Zhao Xun, Zheng Lang still felt a little burdened in his heart.
Among the several brave generals who died in battle, if you carefully evaluate their strategies and measures before and after, Wang Qi and Ren Fu are brave, but their strategies are slightly lacking, and Guo Zun is the only one who can afford it.
The battle of Dingchuan, Zhao Xun is the most pity, and he is not very old, like Yang Wenguang, there is infinite room for rise, if it is cultivated properly, it will not be sacrificed in vain, and there will be another famous general in the Song Dynasty in the future. What is most lacking in the Song Dynasty, poets, lyricists, and Wenchen, are not, they are famous generals!
"I'm reasonable, go ahead."
"Thank you, Zheng Xianggong."
Zhao Xun stepped back again.
Zheng Lang and Chang Mingde told him what he was going to do.
There are two reasons why I fancy this battle, I have a blind heart to Xixia, and with this person behind me, I am always not at ease, and I must be convinced. Moreover, although his subordinate hemp felt and party stay are medium-sized tribes with more than a few hundred accounts, they can often plunder the territory, if they are not destroyed, the people in the territory will not be stable, and they may also be used by Yuan Hao. This is for military reasons.
The second is the market law.
In order to stabilize the price adjustment of supply and demand, Wang Anshi restricted the monopoly of the merchants in Juqi, collected the profits that were previously attributed to the big businessmen, increased the fiscal revenue, and implemented two laws, one is the law of equal loss, and the other is the law of changing the market.
The average loss method was implemented relatively early, and the scale was not large, only implemented in the southeast six roads, limited to the supply of materials to Bianliang City, and later Xue Xiang was transferred, and the average loss method was also suspended. Of course, the bigger market law has already begun.
Wang Anshi's method of equal loss is different from that of Sanghong sheep, which is to convert all the taxes and tributes from various places into the most and cheapest local commodities and transport them to high-priced areas for sale, which belongs to the government-run business that pursues trade profits, and the core is to sell and profit. Wang Anshi's equalization method is a political axe consumption surname purchase activity, to ensure the consumption demand of political axes, save expenses, and improve financial efficiency.
Later, many people criticized it, which was a misunderstanding, but in fact, Wang Anshi's average loss method was very mild.
Not gentle is below.
Municipal Law.
Sima Guang overthrew everything, Wang Anshi sighed, why did he even overturn the exemption law?
There are drawbacks to the exemption law, but the good surname is far greater than the bad one. However, the market law and the green seedling method are purely two hornet's nests.
To put it simply, the political axe sets up institutions to directly collect and sell materials, participate in transactions, and stabilize market prices.
The specific method is to set up a city change department in Beijing, set up 21 cities in the border and big cities, and then set up a promotion officer (appointed by the political axe) and a supervisor, and a public official (absorb law-abiding and cooperative businessmen to serve), and recruit all the shops and people to act as pedestrians and people in the city, and take charge of the sale of goods under the constraints of officials. Foreign merchants sell goods to the city, pedestrians and people negotiate fairly, and those who are not needed for the time being are also collected and changed, and sold in time. Merchants are allowed to take out loans or goods on credit, with an annual interest rate of two tenths.
If done well, it will limit the control of big businessmen over the market, which will help stabilize prices and commodity circulation, and increase the fiscal revenue of the political axe.
But can it be done well?
As a result, the officials of the city and the powerful colluded with each other, and the big businessmen did not control it, but on the contrary, many small and medium-sized businessmen quickly went bankrupt. The annihilators took advantage of the authority of the government and forcibly bought and sold at a high price, and the peasants, handicraftsmen, and sideline planters were severely attacked, and the people were struggling to make a living.
This is the main consequence of the cause, as well as the consequences of many vice-bands.
Therefore, the Conservatives are all opposed, and it is true that regardless of the City Change Law and the Green Seedling Law, it is implemented in a country where official corruption is the heaviest, and with the goal of collecting wealth for the country, no matter what Wang Anshi thinks, it has brought a heavy burden to the people.
But there is no absolute surname for anything. If the law is placed in a small scope, the officials are clear, and there are a group of capable people who can operate and are not selfish in their hands to help, and there is little conflict of interest with the elites in the capital, and the results can be seen.
For example, Wang Shao.
The city changed the law to defeat the New Deal, but it made Wang Shao.
After Wang Shao came to the northwest, he implemented two policies, the first was to reclaim tens of thousands of hectares of barren land between Weizhou and Qinzhou, and the second was to implement the city change law.
Familiar?
Yes, the old seed was in Qingjian City, and the policy implemented later in Huanzhou was very similar.
It depends on the person, there is no problem with the implementation of the camp in the hands of the old man, as soon as he leaves, there are a lot of problems, so that Fan Zhongyan said, you can't play, don't play again, don't fight with the Xixia people, and immediately the Tibetan tribes will revolt themselves.
There is no problem with the old species, and there is no problem with Wang Shao, so he did it well.
The practice of the old species is also very similar to the market law, but the old species does not have much capital in their hands, and with the help of large local households, it is a kind of joint operation and mutual benefit. Wang Shao is the real city law, the minister is opposed, that place can not do business, around the Duofan people, Qiang people, and Xixia people, one by one, there is no money to rob it, now where is so much silver, let alone insurance. Wang Anshi was speechless with anger, it is as dangerous as you said, the local big landlords still know how to accumulate property and are not afraid of looting, besides, the imperial court, is it not as good as a landlord?
At the beginning of the implementation, Li Shizhong said that these lands were not wastelands, but archers' lands, that is, fields that the imperial court gave to archers.
Some of them are, but most of them are indeed wasteland, or places where the Tibetan and Qiang people herd their horses and cattle.
The Song God Sect sent people to investigate, and came back to report that there was land, an area of land, and several landlords were fighting lawsuits for the ownership of this land.
The Manchu Dynasty was dumbfounded, if there is a big place, there is only one hectare of land? Over the years, they have fought with Tubo and Western Xia, and hundreds of thousands of people have been fighting on an acre of land? What is this?
Although it is fun, but it has an effect, Wang Shaoxi won a great victory in the river, and said in the book, I didn't spend a penny on the war this time, and I earned it by opening up the wasteland and doing business.
Wen Yanbo doesn't believe that a big battle like the Battle of Xihe will cost at least 5 million or more, and at most 10 million or 20 million yuan. So he said that this is a craftsman making a house, first said that it was very cheap, and halfway through the construction, all kinds of needs came out together, and at that time it had to be built, only for the sake of slaughter. It seems that the ancient and modern exchanges are almost the same, and the Song Dynasty also had this kind of annihilation of merchants. Now Wang Shao's victory is nothing more than that.
Song Shenzong was angry, won the battle, and didn't dig out the country's treasury, so he actually made you say so badly, and asked rhetorically, may I ask Aiqing, don't you repair your house if it is broken?
Wen Yanbo was speechless.
Of course, at that time, the surname had changed, the country was a fart, and defeating the opponent was the most important thing, and opening his eyes and telling nonsense had become the mainstream at that time. Don't talk nonsense, just wait to be eliminated.
But to illustrate one thing, Wang Shao has achieved great success in the northwest with the Shiyi method.
Why did Lao Chong and Wang Shao succeed?
In the past, Zheng Lang didn't understand how hard the northwest was, and what wealth could be collected.
Later, I realized that I had made a mistake.
For example, why did Zheng Lang think of bringing back the Jurchens from the sea? It's really cheap, often a few iron pots, a rough silk horse, can be exchanged for a good horse.
The same is true in the northwest, many in a closed environment, and because of the endless war, the merchants are timid, do not dare to come, the felt, medicinal materials, fur, livestock, etc. produced in the northwest, except for horses, can not be transported, the price is very low, and the silk silk, tea, porcelain, lacquerware produced in the Central Plains, because it cannot be transported in, the price has become very expensive, and even some cottages have not been seen in a lifetime. In this kind of transaction, not only the imperial court will make money, but the local tribes will be very grateful because of their complementary needs and weak economic awareness.
And the market demand is very large, such as fur, before cotton was not popularized, how much could be sold.
This is the secret of Lao Chong and Wang Shao's success.
Jingyuan Road itself also has its own production, such as Cistanche in Weizhou, the name of the whole country, and the white felt of the Zhenrong Army, after all, the place is too small, only Weizhou, Jingzhou, Yuanzhou and Zhenrong Army, Deshun Army. So Zheng Lang set his eyes on the Tubo people behind him. The Tibetan people also have commerce, and Qingtang City is now very prosperous, but in the end, many areas are still very backward near Qingtang City. In particular, the areas controlled by the blind felt were indifferent to the Song Dynasty, and they turned against their fathers.
Thinking of this pair of buddies, Zheng Lang thought of a sentence, pity the hearts of parents all over the world, but in fact, they are tacitly ignoring their division, which is equivalent to dividing the territory into three, one for one son, otherwise the two sons would have been wiped out a long time ago. But the blind felt and the subordinates who are chattering do not know, so the blind felt is in a state of isolation. Or to do business with the Tanguts, is that possible? Until now, Yuan Hao is even poorer than blind felt!
Whether he can do a good job in this business depends on whether Zhao Xun can play majestic this time, as long as he plays prestige, he is afraid and surrenders to the Song Dynasty, then the business will be done. And once the business is done, it will be mutually beneficial, and the blind felt with the temporary surname will not be cranky, and the two sides will be twisted together, and there will be nothing behind it.
If it is even possible, next year we will join forces with Blind Felt to conquer Agan.
Wang Shao didn't say it, and Agancheng couldn't say it, only the old species.
"Original...... It is no wonder that before the scholar came, he asked the imperial court for three million yuan of money. ”
"It can only be like this, if you say it in advance, and wait until the court is disputed, you may not agree, even if you agree, I don't know how long it will take, so it is better to say it. In folk parlance, it is called the first cut and then the play. ”
Chang Mingde couldn't help but be happy.
"Helpless, for this war, how bitter the country is, how bitter the people are......" Zheng Lang sighed.
In order to support this battle, he had to forcibly recruit soldiers, and in the end he became a captive. Ouyang Xiu wrote last year, saying that there are many barren lands in western Beijing, and the reason is that people are not diligent farmers. In addition to disasters, he had no choice but to go out to escape the famine. There are also two reasons, the heavy flight of the army and the flight of the army, resulting in the field being uncultivated. Nearly 1.3 million forbidden soldiers, according to the number of households registered in the household department, almost 112 households will draw a ding, which is too ruthless.
It also began to raise taxes, and the military was prosperous and used widely, and the former three envoys were all rich and tyrannical, and even borrowed the rich to pay money, down to the fruits and vegetables were taxed. The conquest of today's Guan City is in ancient times, and the reckless mirage and the benefits of the husband and wife are all levied.
This is the Renzong Dynasty, and the three envoys are Qing ministers Ye Qingchen!
But in order to resist Yuan Hao's invasion, he had to do it. In the hateful later generations, there are still many descendants of the Han people who desperately eulogize the spirit of Yuanhao's national reading. Reading power, it is best to kill all the children and grandchildren, and divide up China, that is called national reading power!
Zheng Lang planned for a long time in Taiping Prefecture and Hangzhou, and everything he did was not only for this war, but half of the reason was to let the country have more money and food to support the war.
But it's definitely not enough, even in a normal year, give the imperial court 10 million yuan a year and put it in such a corner of the northwest?
Therefore, it is planned to implement Wang Shao's policy in Jingyuan Road.
With money rewards, it can stimulate the morale of the soldiers, and it can also save funds for the state and reduce the pressure on the people in the rear.
However, as long as this battle is fought well and a large number of soldiers have been tempered by blood and fire, the country will have generals available and soldiers to choose from within 20 years.
It all started with the blind felt.
"Bachelor, General Zhao defeated Ma Felt and the Party Retention Department, and the blind felt didn't dare to come to Weizhou."
"Why?"
"It's okay to make peace, although the bachelor has a good reputation, but he is a fanzi, he may not be able to trust the bachelor, and he will be afraid to come to Weizhou and let the bachelor detain him."
"He must be allowed to come, and if he does not come, he will not be completely convinced. So I not only asked Zhao Xun to lead 30,000 troops to fight and destroy, but also asked Jingtai to come and cover up the killing. This battle must be a chilling killing, and you see," Zheng Lang pointed to the map.
The area controlled by the blind felt is not large, and behind it is his father, not to mention, it is not his territory, and it will not be in the future, and if he dies, he will be left to his third half-brother. The southeast is the territory of the Qiang people, and the northeast is the territory of the Song Dynasty.
"After destroying the Ma Felt Party and other departments, it is only one step away from the Niche Valley."
"Looks like there's still a long way to go."
This is a confused account, the party and the two departments live in the west of Longshan, the junction of Deshun Prefecture and Qinzhou, and the area of Wuchuan.
There are many tribes nearby, there are Guo Sidun, Dangliu Chen Kejie and other tribes in the north (in Jingning), to the south there are Dawang, Duonasi, Muning, Suyi, Anjia and other tribes (in Zhuanglang Qin'an), and in the southeast there are Yanmeng eight tribes (in Huating).
It turned out that this place did not belong to the Song Dynasty, in the sixth year of Xianping, Cao Wei played the leader of Longshanxi and other Nama swore to return to the Song Dynasty, to the first year of Jingde, the three clans of the Yanjia family outside Longshan, Jingde three years, Weizhou Ekeyan family rate of more than 3,000 accounts, more than 17,000 people, and countless cattle and horses returned to the court. In the seventh year of Xiangfu, Cao Wei induced Guo to kill his uncle to reward the sample pill, dedicate the southern city city, and build a quiet border village here. From then on, the Shunde army was nominally all subservient to the Song Dynasty.
But in fact, in most areas in the middle, the Song Dynasty had limited control capacity and was in a semi-fettered state.
For example, although this hemp felt and the Dangliu clan were in the territory controlled by the Song Dynasty, they surrendered to the blind felt, and the Song Dynasty has not been able to really manage them.
The more this is the case, the more Zheng Lang wants to attack this area.
"Think again."
Chang Mingde thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "I understand, this place is close to the Wating River (Hulu River), with abundant water and grass, and dense population. Once these tribes are annihilated, it is tantamount to breaking through the front line of blind felt. Just as Xixia broke through our defense line in front of Jingyuan Road, the rear immediately became very dangerous. There was nowhere else to go, so he was forced to surrender to our court. Once surrendered, the territory of Lanhui and other states set up by the Tang Dynasty could be unimpeded and easy to trade. ”
"Not bad, not bad." Zheng Lang boasted.
I guessed that it was not a skill, in history, Zhao Xun only led 20,000 people, and after breaking the hemp felt and the party left the two clans, he only persuaded him, and the blind felt immediately surrendered. Moreover, this time another 10,000 troops were added to him, and there were some followers behind him.
That's why we figured it out.
Chang Mingde doesn't know the direction of history, but it is not easy to see it.
He also said: "So let you persuade him to come to Deshun Military City in person to surrender, you have thought of the words in the past few days, this is the task I have given you, and it is also related to my plan in Jingyuan." ”
"I'll do my best."
"Not necessarily, it must, you look at the west side of the Niche Valley again."
"To the west, to the west is the area controlled by the Western Xia......"
"When I go into battle to fight, I can't do it, but when it comes to the way of economy, Yuan Hao will be far inferior to me. The west side, it's very important, if the city law starts, I will give Yuan Hao a headache! ”
