Chapter 477: Let Go (Part II)
Han Qi's reason was very simple, he had to wait for food. The food crisis in the vicinity of Gyeonggi has gradually begun to resolve with the arrival of large quantities of grain. The imperial court urged Xu Yuan vigorously, not that he didn't give you money, but he borrowed money from the people to buy grain for you, you hurry up and get food.
urged Xu Yuan to hang himself in Jiangnan.
In fact, Xu Yuangong is indispensable this time, once the uprisings in various places are suppressed, with the development of labor relief, the north can quickly restore calm. Among them, the key to health is food.
Xu Yuan should be credited with the first credit.
But it is Zheng Lang who really credits him, it can be said that he has achieved the greatest success since he took power, not Jiangnan Ping'an Prison, nor Kaiwei, and Shimenchuan and Dingchuan Zhai two great victories, but this time.
Taking advantage of this crisis, we should take advantage of the situation to implement the reform of reducing troops and continue the hope of innovation. This significance is far greater than the significance brought by the victory of Dingchuan Village. Labor and relief is to open up a great new idea, otherwise the ancestral legal system will be used at every turn, and the displaced people will be accepted as the box army, and the disaster victims will be accepted as the box army, and there will be a time for this?
After the grain in the capital was satisfied, the imperial court quickly divided the grain into two batches, one to Shandong and the other to Shaanxi, and uprisings broke out in both places. It had only just begun, but with food, it was possible to appease the hearts of the people and suppress the uprising, and the difficulty decreased. It's not just about preparing strategies and spying on the enemy.
So Han Qi wrote to Zheng Lang, don't move for the time being, let's move together, from north to south, and wipe out the bandits one by one. Save you from suppressing it on Jingxi Road, and finally force it to Shaanxi. And he couldn't report to the court, for fear that the minister would gossip, so he could only write a private letter to inform him.
Zheng Lang replied, as you wished.
The army stopped again to climb the mountain, and the emperor frowned. The mountain that Gu climbed this time is bigger, not Kunshan Mountain, but a more continuous and tall Bears Ears Mountain.
In the end, the imperial court let Zheng Lang climb unbearable, and Zhao Zhen sent the great eunuch Lan Yuanzhen to Bears Ears Mountain to inquire about the situation.
This person is the adopted son of the great eunuch Ande Jun Jiedu envoy Lan Jizong, Liu E's palace was on fire when the palace, and his people supported Zhao Zhen to ascend the Xihua Gate. When he blindly surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he only ended up with the position of a defense envoy, which shows the status of this person in Zhao Zhen's heart.
Zhao Zhen was really anxious, not only did the rebel army spread everywhere like a beacon fire, but the Guanghua army in the north of Xiangzhou had a big incident. The Guanghua Army Zhijun is Han Gang, the eldest son of Han Yi, who governs the army and the people strictly. Zhang Hai plundered to the border, and Han Gang led his troops to defend the city. The common people looked good, no matter how bad this intellectual army was in peacetime, but it could stand up when it was critical, so they sent pigs, sheep, wine and food to reward the three armies. If it is used properly, then this time it will be like Weizhou City, creating a small miracle.
But Han Gang didn't, confiscated the wine and food together with the pigs and sheep, and then sold them for money, and later explained that he used the money to prepare weapons for manufacturing, but only God knows. One by one, the soldiers were furious.
There is no way, he is the son of the former prime minister, and he has to endure it with his own boss.
Han Gang asked the general to make a formation diagram again, Zheng Lang has repeatedly said about this issue, and he has also played a fold, don't make a formation diagram again, what gossip array, Tianmen array, the Song Dynasty fell on this array. To train the army, it is also necessary to practice the formation, but the formation is not the formation of the gods. Maybe Han Gang didn't see this letter, and it doesn't matter, the Guanghua Army has a city wall and a city gate, and with the cooperation of the people, it is enough to defend the Guanghua Military City. But this general doesn't know what difficult formation diagram he has come up with, it is estimated that it is even more difficult than the Tianmen Formation in the Romance, and the soldiers can't be lined up. Han Gang looked angry and was about to kill the soldiers. The soldier's heart was beating more and more under the occasional nervous attack of this adult.
One day, the soldiers were eating, and Shao Xing of the military academy didn't know why he called the soldiers to stop eating and stand up. Han Gang was furious again, arrested several people in a row, and put them in prison. Shao Xing thought that Han Gang had a brain problem, and he went crazy, and he was afraid that his subordinates broke into the arsenal and robbed weapons, preparing to attack the Han Mansion and kill Han Gang. Han Gang was also wonderful, and after hearing about it, his mind suddenly cleared up, and he took his wife to fall down the city wall with a rope and escaped along the Han River. Shao Xing then plundered the city of Zhou, and after looting it, he set fire to burn the Guanghua military city into ruins, and then kidnapped and commanded Zhou Mei and more than 300 sergeants to flee to Sichuan. Halfway through, Zhou Mei was humiliated and committed suicide. But Shao Xing didn't end well, so many mountains didn't drill, ran to Sichuan, how many checkpoints and troops had to be on the way, and finally were defeated by the officials and the army, beheaded, and the rest of the party was punished. …,
These shameful news came one by one, what mood would Zhao Zhen have in the palace?
So let Lan Yuanzhen personally come to Zheng Lang to announce the order, you don't climb the mountain anymore, hurry up and solve these bandits for me, otherwise if this continues, it is not clear whether Han Gang's brain is broken, but my brain will definitely be broken.
But what we also have to see is that it is the four years of hard fighting and the great drought that exposed many shortcomings of the Song Dynasty one by one, otherwise everyone really thinks that it is a peaceful and prosperous era, and the Song Dynasty has a foundation of thousands of years.
Zheng Lang didn't say this idea, but took Lan Yuanzhen out of the barracks, pointed to the mountain outside and said: "Lan Duzhi, look at this vast mountain, don't say that the bandits are scattered all over the place, even if they are concentrated, there are less than 10,000 people. If 10,000 people lurk in such a mountain, where can they be found? Even if they are found, if the bandits build a fortress with the help of some treacherous mountains, how many soldiers will have to be sacrificed before they can take it? ”
Lan Yuanzhen couldn't answer.
"Lan Duzhi, after you go back, report to the emperor for me, please rest assured, at most, there will be more than a month at most, and the bandits in western Beijing and southern Shaanxi will all be wiped out. But Rong Chen planned and prepared for a while. ”
Sending Lan Yuanzhen away, Zheng Lang was still waiting for Han Qi, but he finally made a move, wrote what he said in Sanmenxia into a text, printed and distributed many copies, and sent people to post them one by one in the more than a dozen state armies that were active in the righteous army. The effect was immediate, the autumn wind was getting colder, and a man came to the barracks.
The soldier came in and reported: "Zheng Xianggong, there is a young woman outside, who said that she was your old friend, and asked to see Xianggong." ”
Zheng Lang looked out from the gap in the tent, and there was surprise on his face, it was an old man, but he was an unexpected old man, Zhang Hai's wife.
After so many days of collecting news, I also heard some things about this woman, she is also the daughter of a fourth-class family, surnamed Liu, since she was a child, she likes to dance with guns and sticks, and Zhang Hai is just a pair. After the two get married, they often practice in pairs, this is not what martial arts are, the skills of the horse knife and stick, or the lifting of the stone lock to increase the strength. Zheng Lang saw with his own eyes that the warrior monks of Shaolin Temple also practiced martial arts in this way, and they were not as evil as later generations advertised. On the contrary, there is zazen, which is for meditation on Buddhism, and has nothing to do with qigong. But some people with good physical fitness, once practiced, they can indeed do one as ten.
looks very beautiful, otherwise it will not make officials greedy because of their appearance.
Zheng Lang looked at it again, wearing a black tight jacket, graceful, with a good figure, a pretty face, eyebrows raised high, and a trace of heroism in his beauty, he was a wonderful person. But this wonderful man ......-...... Qingben is a beautiful woman, but how to be a thief, the court is not dark to the point where there is no injustice. As long as you come to the capital to complain, those imperial historians who are eyeing each other will inevitably inquire into the case. It's a pity to be a thief. Whispering a few words in Di Qing's ear, Di Qing smiled, changed into the armor of an ordinary guard, and stood beside Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang waved his hand and said, "Let her in." ”
Liu came in, knelt on the ground, and said, "The people see Zheng Xianggong." ”
"Liu, why did you come to see this official?" Zheng Lang said flatly.
"The people's daughter is a representative official who voted to Zheng Xianggong, may I ask Zheng Xianggong if he will let us surrender to the imperial court?"
"You sit down and say."
"Thank you, Zheng Xianggong."
"How do you think of surrendering to the imperial court?"
"We were forced by some bad officials to do some bad things, and when I saw Zheng Xianggong's documents, I consulted with the officials and surrendered to Zheng Xianggong and asked the court to forgive us for our innocence......."
"Are you guilty or not?"
"We are guilty, and we are forced for bad officials. If the court does not allow it, we can only fight to the end. While speaking, Liu stared at Zheng Lang with his eyes, and suddenly asked, "The people's girl dared to ask Zheng Xianggong, how did you see our identity that day?" ”…,
"You didn't look right when you got on the boat, I was a little suspicious in my heart before, so I thought that the Yanghe River is the sea."
"You were lying that night, and you didn't set it up?"
"Yes, it's rare for this official to tell a lie, I've heard some of your deeds, and I know that you are strong, and the two guards I brought may not be your opponents. That's when I scared you away with a lie. ”
There was some chagrin in Liu's eyes.
Zheng Lang said calmly: "Why do you want to be unfavorable to this official? At least this official is not a bad official. ”
"We, we didn't want to be unfavorable to Zheng Xianggong, we just wanted to kidnap Zheng Xianggong and negotiate with the imperial court."
"How? As long as you really want to submit to the court, there is no need to kidnap the official, and the court has also issued a clear edict to pardon you for your innocence. If you don't really submit to the imperial court, even if you kidnap your own official, what role can it play? Yes, it can make the soldiers tie their hands and feet, and throw rats and taboos, but the court needs peace, don't talk about the officials, you kidnapped the prince, for the sake of the country's righteousness, the court will eventually send troops to exterminate you. ”
"We are afraid that Zheng Xianggong will lead his troops to ......-......"
"That's even more wrong, in terms of military command ability, the imperial court has talents, and Qin Qing, Zhang Kang and others are far above me."
"That's not what the folk girl heard."
"Even if the rumors are true, what can be done? Will this officer help you with advice? Isn't it a joke! Or how long can you resist using your own officials as hostages? 10,000 officers and soldiers can't do it, 20,000 officers and soldiers, 340,000 officers and soldiers, have you ever thought about the future? ”
"Therefore, the people came to surrender to the imperial court, and here is the list of officials." As she spoke, she took out a small notebook from the small burden under her elbow and handed it to Zheng Lang.
Suddenly, the body burst out, and the pamphlet fell to the ground, revealing the dagger inside. It was not an assassination, but a kidnapping, with one hand at the back of Zheng Lang's head, and with a dagger in the other, it was put on Zheng Lang's neck.
There is definitely no light work, but the action is really fast, Zheng Lang's eyes are spent, and he smells a fragrant wind in his nose, and Liu's body has already leaned over, and a plump and soft stick to Zheng Lang's left elbow.
It's a little fragrant, but the scene is extremely dangerous.
However, Liu did not succeed, because Di Qing was standing behind Zheng Lang. Liu's action was fast, Di Qing's action was faster, he stretched out his left hand and clamped it, Liu's dagger couldn't move, and then his right hand stretched out, and with a twist, Liu was twisted and turned, and the person had been caught.
Zheng Lang was not angry, hehe, and said, "This is your surrender?" ”
Liu writhed in Di Qing's arms unconvinced, and asked, "You dog official, how do you know again?" ”
Zheng Lang touched his nose, he was scolded as a dog official, it was the first time in the world, and he was still not angry, and said: "Your husband has been active in Junzhou Jinzhou during this time, and Guo Miao Mountain echoes from afar across the Qinling Mountains, and has not reached the point of exhaustion, you came rashly, and your husband and wife are bold and thieves, can you have good intentions for this official?" ”
It's amazing not to say it, but when you say it, it's actually very simple, the young woman writhed around unconvinced, and asked Di Qing again, "Who are you?" ”
I lost so badly that I didn't even have the strength to join forces, and I was caught by this guard who was not as handsome as a man.
"He, he is what I said about General Di Qingdi, Liu, you can let General Di pretend to be a guard and arrest you with your own hands, and it is enough to make you famous in the annals of history."
"He's Di Qing?"
"It's like a fake." But Zheng Lang then said something that made Liu very unconvinced, and continued: "The last time I let you go back was a fake, but this time the official really let you go, you go back." ”
"Dog officer, what are you trying to do?"
"You can't tell whether I'm telling the truth or not, and when I arrive with my army, what wisdom do you use to fight against your own officers? There is no plan, so go back with confidence. ”
"Why ......"
"Because you are a woman, women, children, old and young, no matter what, they are all vulnerable, people need compassion, and this country needs compassion. Go ahead. ”
The sound of this sentence was not loud, but there was silence in the tent, including the soldiers who came over after hearing the news. Zheng Lang's release in Sanmenxia can be said to be a strategy of division, and it can also be said to be a kind of power scheme. But this time he released people out of mercy, far beyond the meaning of the three words of power and conspiracy!
