Zheng Lang still had some comments and sighs in his mind about the defeat of the Western Xia family. A big national hero, how can he not make people sad when he fights like this!

In fact, Yuan Hao beat like this, it's dog dung!

The defense line of more than 2,000 miles was long for the Song Dynasty, but it was also long for the Western Xia.

In history, Fan Zhongyan, Zhang Guan and Pang Ji only went to the three roads at the beginning of October, as the deployment of various roads and the deployment of the horse infantry army on the road, and the deployment of the army along the border to pacify the envoys. However, the Battle of Fulin Road lasted until the end of Layue, and for two months, the four governors did nothing.

If Fan Zhongyan has something to do and does a small cooperation with Pang Ji, Yanzhou, Hongzhou, and Youzhou of the Western Xia people can be captured, and if Zhang Guan has something to do, the entire Tiandu Mountain, Weizhou City, Mingsha City, and even Lingzhou are within the scope of the Song army's attack. If Pang Ji has something to do, and in the end, Yuan Hao has been defeated several times, and then there is a new army, and Yuan Hao can bring back a third of the hundreds of thousands of troops, then thank God.

At this time, there were all roads on the edge of Shaanxi, not all roads at that time, and everyone had countless armies in their hands.

In the battle of Dingchuan, several people made mistakes again.

The battle is short-lived, but how quickly will the scouts be heard? Pang Ji was able to spare at least more than twenty days to calmly take Yuan Hao to bring the main army to the south, join forces with the Zhejia army on Fulin Road to launch an attack on Yinzhou and Shizhou, and even cross the Wuding River to launch a decent attack on Xiazhou.

Maybe they are civil servants with poor military cultivation, and they can't think of this strategy to explain.

But some shortcomings of Chinese officials can be seen in them.

Most of the time, the civil war is a dragon, and the foreign war is a worm, passive defense, and Gou An sues for peace.

Don't seek merit, but seek no fault, and be wise to protect yourself.

One is a dragon, three are insects, they don't know how to cooperate, and they fight separately.

Except for Zhang Guan, the rest of the people are good, but they can find one or two of the three shortcomings. This is why Yuan Hao's pig-like style of play actually succeeds every time.

But not this time, a huge cobweb has gradually opened.

……

Zheng Lang paid close attention to the battle on Fulin Road.

After receiving the scout's report, a heart settled down.

As long as Zhang Kang goes to Fulin Road, then this victory will be there.

Before this, there were also some fragmentary battles, and the three tribes of Tibet saw that the Song army was building a slender waist city, and felt that the crisis was coming, so they gathered the strong men of the three tribes and counterattacked the construction site of the slender waist city, but they lost the support of the Western Xia people, what are they?

Attacked three times in a row, left a few hundred corpses, and was defeated.

It has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, it is a counterattack battle in the territory of Fan Zhongyan and commanded by Jiang Kai.

But he didn't expect him to let He Yan go to Lanzhou to inspect the battle on Fulin Road, which made one person unhappy.

In the territory of Lanzhou, it is not in Taiyuan, and it seems to have nothing to do with Yang Kai. But Yang Kai had an association.

You are on Jingyuan Road, and the war between Yanyun Road and Taiyuan and Fulin Road is none of your business.

He had a ghost in his heart, thinking that Zheng Lang deliberately sent someone to Lanzhou to inspect the situation and wanted to target himself, so he preemptively attacked.

In the last article, the impeachment of Zheng Lang City Yifa.

Tun Tian didn't say that Fan Zhongyan was doing it, and Pang Ji was also doing it, in different forms, but the quality of the surname was almost the same. Helplessly, the transfer of grain from Jiangnan to Shaanxi is too far, the loss is too great, and the imperial court's finances cannot bear it, so it is best to solve it locally.

Not only did they have to eat, but the soldiers also had to drink in order to keep out the cold. This wine is not made from water, but also from grain.

Whoever dares to prevent the soldiers from eating alcohol, and some ministers themselves have a good amount of alcohol. You're eating and drinking, and you don't let your subordinates eat?

Specifically impeached the city.

In fact, if it weren't for the urgency of the war, it would have been really easy to find trouble with the city.

First of all, he said Sang Hong Yang, and the gist of Sang Hong Yang's reform is salt and iron, leveling, and losing evenly. This reform is not even as good as Wang Anshi, in the name of not collecting from the people, but in fact it is a disguised collection of gifts from the people, businessmen, and large households.

The good thing is that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was exhausted and the country was empty, because of Sang Hongyang's reforms, the country successfully survived the crisis.

The disadvantage is that it imposes a heavy burden on all strata. Later, Huo Guang killed the whole family.

In fact, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also saw that the reform brought trouble to the country, only when the country's financial crisis was implemented, it was implemented twice, and once the crisis was overcome, the law was immediately suspended.

This is the earliest equalization method.

will not talk about the advantages, only the disadvantages, Zheng Lang's Shiyi is different from Sang Hongyang, but the core idea is very similar, and even more radical than the average loss method. It's just that the difference is that Zheng Lang is only implemented on the Jingyuan border, and Sang Hong Yang is implemented throughout the country.

It is precisely this border that makes the disadvantages of the city law infinitely reduced.

Yang Kai automatically ignored it, not to mention the reduction of drawbacks, but to say that the front battle, the military aircraft was critical, Zheng Lang did not get the permission of the imperial court, and embezzled the military funds allocated by the imperial court to do business, so that the soldiers forgot their righteousness for profit, and the morale of the army was discouraged, endangering the safety of the front line.

It's easy to wear a hat.

But Yang Kai also knows that the country's financial difficulties are now, and this alone cannot defeat Zheng Lang.

So I said the last one.

It is to get money, but this money is not used to reduce the financial pressure on the state, but to buy the hearts of soldiers. Look at that official position again, and deploy and deploy the Ma Infantry Army on this road to pacify the envoys along the border. The deployment of the Ma Bu Army is in charge of all the armies, the economic envoy is in charge of civil affairs and finance, and the pacification envoy is in charge of the mobilization of the army.

Let's ask Jingyuan Road's civil finances and military and political rights, what else can't be managed?

And this strange position was first proposed by Zheng Lang, and he personally went to Weizhou to lead the three armies, and now he disregards the safety of the country and uses the money from business to buy the hearts of the army, what is he going to do?

Don't ask if you believe it or not.

As long as it is cited to the Tang Dynasty feudal towns, even Lu Yijian will be scratched.

The song folded to the capital.

At this time, Zheng Lang also arrived in the capital.

This memora is written at length, talking about the pros and cons of the market and tuntian, which are all expedient measures and cannot be promoted throughout the country, including tuntian, except for the archer field, the rest must be handed over to the people for cultivation in the future. The state cannot be greedy for this money, and if Shaanxi produces grain, it is equivalent to saving a large amount of money.

He also said that the three white canals and the deed shares.

Although some people in the DPRK and China still raised objections, most people agreed that without him, there was a real shortage of money.

The main reason for the shortage of money is in the northwest, and the places where the northwest uses money are, one is the consumption of weapons and armor, the subsidies and salaries of soldiers, the cost of building a walled fort, the bereavement of the families of the wounded and wounded soldiers, and the other is the cost of food logistics. The final cost accounts for a significant proportion.

As long as some tuntian and Sanbai canals appear one after another, Shaanxi will achieve self-sufficiency in grain to the greatest extent, and this alone can save millions of yuan a year.

Until now, no one will think that it is possible to continue to fight for ten or twenty years, or finally reconcile, and a large number of troops will be stationed in the northwest for defense.

Even if there is no war, the appearance of these cultivated lands will also help Shaanxi's civil administration.

Discussions on the sale of the deed shares began.

Zheng Lang made a precedent, it is not difficult to execute, an edict was issued, let the businessmen of the whole country participate, write a small piece of paper, how much money I give, gather the money, distribute it according to the proportion of the money, and then give the deed shares, and collect the money. No matter how big and powerful he is, he doesn't dare to joke with the court.

The money was collected from the hands of the powerful and powerful.

Of course, in the future, the income must also be apportioned according to the deed shares, otherwise so many big households will quarrel, and no one can bear it.

received Yang Kai's recital.

Not to mention, there is still a market, no one said that Zheng Lang learned An Lushan, but some people questioned it. The imperial court has already given so much military spending, why should it be rewarded with Shiyi's money?

A small amount, 20,000 yuan in ten days, how many 10,000 yuan a year?

Is there such a training process?

The whole country is studying like Zheng Lang and raising more than a million troops, how much does it cost?

If nothing else, the hearts of the officers and men of the other three armies will be unbalanced.

So Lu Yijian asked the little official to copy the copy and sent it to Jingyuan Road, asking Zheng Lang why he did this.

Lu Yijian is not malicious, and the accusation is fake, but a reminder.

He is inseparable from Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, Yin Zhu and others, including Fan Zhongyan, although he forbears for the sake of the country, he will not be happy in his heart for Fan Zhongyan.

is not evil to Zheng Lang, observing words and feelings, with his cleverness, or the old man, it can be seen that although Zheng Lang is not a person from his path, he will not be a person from Fan Zhongyan's path. And because of the relationship between his son, he secretly helped each other.

A copy of the fold was transferred to Weizhou.

At this time, Zheng Lang was already preparing to go to war, and after receiving this copy, he was furious.

What Yang Kai did, he saw it very clearly, but officialdom is like this. Or that Pang Ji, Fan Zhongyan, and Han Qi didn't do well, but who else could do better than them?

Moreover, the performance of Fulin Road is very magical and will not affect the overall situation, so he did not say it, but only recorded the achievements of each soldier, so that he could seek justice for them after the war.

Since you want to provoke me, let's see who is powerful!

I sat in the chair and thought about it for a long time.

Anyway, Yang Kai made him sick.

Explain again, anyway, the battle came, and I said about the scouts. When Kant went back, it is estimated that the court also heard about it.

The scout brought the news back, and he couldn't judge whether it was true or not, so he had to send someone to inform Fulin Lu to make arrangements. But Fulin Road is related to the most important gate in the northwest of the imperial court, and I am afraid that these ministers will not be able to understand it, and I am even more afraid that Zhao Zhen will not be able to understand it.

gave an example, how strong the Tang Dynasty army was, everyone understands. Why did the Turks repeatedly invade Taiyuan and Lanzhou?

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, how many times have the Qiang people and the Khitan soldiers come to the city of Taiyuan?

Why? Because he wanted to invade Taiyuan from the north and northwest, one gate was Daizhou Yanmen Pass, and the other door was Fulin Erzhou. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, there have been many fierce battles in the two prefectures of Fulin, and it is precisely for this reason. It has not been lost, Taiyuan has ensured peace in the rear, and the capital is also safe.

Explain it this way, even Miao Guifei can probably figure it out!

Therefore, the Zhejia family asked for internal relocation several times, but the imperial court did not allow it, precisely for this reason.

Fulin Road must be saved, but he is in Jingyuan, and the whip is out of reach, so if he wants to save it, he can only take the method of encircling Wei to save Zhao.

However, although the imperial court sent many soldiers this time, the new recruits have little experience, and there are many veterans and weak soldiers, I am not alone in the disarmament, Fan Zhongyan is doing it, and Pang Ji also asked the imperial court to reduce the short old and weak soldiers and increase the combat effectiveness.

If you want to implement the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, you must go deep into the enemy's territory and strike a fierce blow to the enemy. Then the minister must have a strong army in his hands, not only in number, but also in fine. Where's the essence? I had to train in time. The time is too short to practice, and there is only a lot of money to stimulate.

This is temporary, once the combat effectiveness catches up, it will be suspended at any time, and these treasures are still used to save the imperial court's military spending.

As for this official position, it is also for all walks of life to quickly mobilize troops according to local conditions, as well as financial and material support, to resist the invasion of Western Xia. It is also temporary, and there is no need for Yang Kai to say, once the war eases, I will also take the initiative to cancel this official position.

Said that I seced, did I look at the map, there is Tubo below, there is Xixia above, in this gap only has the territory of Weiyuanjing and the two small border army, want to secede, the head of the person who exists in this idea is not broken?

And then said about the military plan.

Don't ask me why I'm training the army, I'm going to fight soon, attack Tiandu Mountain, Xianyikou, Weizhou City, Mingsha City, spread the war to the enemy's territory, and see if Yuan Hao dares to raise the country's elite soldiers at will and attack me unscrupulously.

And then said the gentleman. What is a gentleman, a gentleman is a talented and virtuous person. What is virtue, benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, faith, gentleness, kindness, courtesy, thrift, and letting.

I don't live up to that standard, I'm not a gentleman.

Yang Kai calls himself a gentleman, so I have thought about it, why did Yang Kai call himself a gentleman and what did he do?

Discord with Xia Zhu and nonsense led to a weak army in the northwest.

Afraid that Yanzhou would be lost, someone held him accountable and forged the edict, which was not meritorious, but boasted of merit afterwards.

The soldiers of Fulin Road, including Gao Jixuan's reinforcements, and even counting the grain army led by Wang Ji, are only more than 20,000 people. But he had to face the attack of more than 100,000 enemy iron cavalry. His Majesty's edict Yang Kai was in the Guanjian period, and he knew about Taiyuan, hoping that this gentleman would turn the tide.

But His Majesty issued an edict for him to send troops to help, what did he do?

Let the imperial court ignore the tens of thousands of loyal to Your Majesty, who are fighting bloody battles, and disregard the lives of the soldiers guarding the territory, let the imperial court ignore the future safety of the country, and let Your Majesty lose this most important northwest gate. Let's ask, once the Fulin Road is lost, the Western Xia can respond to the Khitan at any time and attack Daizhou, or cross the Yellow River at any time, attack Lanzhou, and approach Taiyuan, and suffer the enemy on the back of the abdomen, what should the country do?

He also said that the army should be trained and not disturbed by the people.

Fulinlu has reached a critical juncture of life and death, and when he trains the army well, will it be ten or twenty years, can a small Fuzhou and Linzhou adhere to the power of the Western Xia for ten or twenty years?

May I ask you, Your Majesty, ministers, have you ever thought about this question?

Why did Yang Kai do this?

The reason is very simple, greedy for life and afraid of death!

But it goes without saying.

But I understand one thing, no wonder there are so many gentlemen in the court, I don't know about other gentlemen, but Yang Kai's gentleman, I know, gentleman, the king is the son.

Together, that is, the king is the son, and the gentleman is the king's son.

In fact, their goal is precisely to make the emperor a puppet, an obedient and good son.

The Song Dynasty was slightly better, especially the Ming Dynasty.

Most people say that the emperor is not good or bad, but how many people have reflected on the consequences of the rampant literati?

You are not Lao Tzu, how dare you openly do such a deceptive thing? greedy for life and afraid of death, you have to warn Zhao Zhen and teach him a lesson, Your Majesty, you have to love the people.

Writing this, Zheng Lang smiled. It was brought to life by Yang Kai.

Then Liu Zhen and others about the battle process of Fulin Road and the records of the combat exploits of each soldier were put in the fold, painted and sent to the capital.

But instead of using an urgent letter, it was sent to the capital in an ordinary way of lettering.

Deliberately slow things down.

In this way, even if the imperial court reflected and supported Fulin Road, it was after the Second Rabbit Mao River War. Otherwise, I don't know which Yong general to send, once it is a mediocre general, Yuan Hao will be allowed to fight a beautiful field battle, and he will make a mistake in this letter.

Let it slow down, even if it is a mediocre general, after the second defeat of Tumaochuan, he attacked Western Xia by himself, Yuan Hao's army was disheartened, and Yuan Hao was not in the mood to encircle and annihilate this Song army. Even if the people sent were properly manpowered, they could do a beautiful pursuit battle with Zhang Kangneng when Yuan Hao hurriedly retreated to expand the results.

Watching his subordinates send the song to the post station, Zheng Lang looked at his wife and two daughters, and said, "I'm going to the front, you are in Weizhou City, you are not allowed to go out, you know?" ”

"Yes, officer, you have to take care."

"Hmm."

"Official, other commanders didn't go to the front line, why do you want to go to the front line?" Si'er said unevenly.

"So the other commanders didn't win the battle. Si'er, think about it, why was the city of Lanzhou able to force the Khitan to make peace back then? It is the morale brought by the royal driving campaign. The more fearful the front-line soldiers are, the easier it is to be defeated, and the more they will die. I went to the front, just to boost morale, but also to increase the likelihood of victory. ”

But Si'er was still reluctant.

Zheng Lang kissed her on the little lips, kissed her two daughters, and then put on his armor and left Weizhou.

But for this battle, Zheng Lang is not worried.

He may lack his own command ability, but there are people, there are old species, there are Di Qing, what are you worried about?

This is especially true of military strength.

The Tanguts had an army of 500,000, which was confirmed one by one.

Yuan Hao drew 150,000 people and stationed tens of thousands of troops in the Hexi Corridor and Shazhou. Also, but there are some troops left under the Yin Mountain. Most of the troops under Helan Mountain and in Xingzhou City could not help. In fact, only the south of Lingzhou, the west of Yanzhou, and the east of Jingshan were faced with troops in this range.

Under normal circumstances, there are more than 100,000 troops scattered in this area. But not now, at least a third of the contraction.

And they are not in one place, unlike the army of the Song Dynasty, the army of the Song Dynasty is the army, which is organized, and the Western Xia has very few formal armies because of the poverty of the country. Most of them were shepherds or farmers in peacetime, and they were not converted into soldiers until wartime.

How long does it take to convert these people into soldiers and then gather them?

That is, he faced only fifty or sixty thousand enemy troops scattered everywhere.

By the time the Western Xia army gathered, or Yuan Hao returned, he would have ended the battle long ago.

Wang Yong also brought back the fourth piece of information, which also confirmed this point, and did not dare to observe it carefully, but the strength of the military camps was seriously reduced, and except for some state cities, there were very few soldiers in each battalion.

Building a slender waist city can also react, if the army is strong, can the Western Xia people watch the construction of the thin waist city succeed? It seems that although Fan Zhongyan succeeded in building a slender waist city in history, the Western Xia army had launched a non-stop harassment. It was Fan Zhongyan who planned to transfer the army away, and the thin waist city was built. This also proves the weakness of the Western Xia army in the south.

As for what results can be achieved in the end, it can only depend on how far Fulin Road can drag Yuan Hao to. The longer it drags on, the greater the results of this sortie.

The wind is bleak and the river is cold.

Although this year's temperature is not as cold as last year, it is located in the northwest, and the howling northwest wind is also blowing cool.

Zheng Lang suddenly turned his head and glanced at Dongfang.

Yang Kai, a gentleman, he has always been unaccustomed to it, he didn't trample him to death last time, this time he is presented, and there is another big victory, which can completely shoot a hypocrite to death.

shouted: "Drive!" ”

Xiaoqing took the guards behind him and trotted in the direction of Zhenrong Village.

The group gradually disappeared into the sky outside Weizhou City, and the sky was full of yellow mountains and murderous awe.
