Chapter 659: Knife

Yu Jing was anxious.

In the relaxed environment of the Song Dynasty, the scholars were given the third courage of the heavens and the earth, and there were arrogant people who thought that the scholars were the largest, the second in heaven and the third in the earth. In order to "repay" the opportunities given by the ancestors of the Zhao family, the scholar took the initiative to become an all-rounder, who could be a civil servant, a craftsman, a farmer, a businessman, and a water conservancy...... Military, as for these professionals, who are you? Even the rescue was inexplicable, and the messy Yin Su and Yin Shilu could still pick up the pen and write a few military masterpieces.

Therefore, many Wenchen amateurs also read some military works, as for those who have not been on the front line, they read these military works, and they will not become anti-dogs, whether they will become Zhao Kuo, but no one has ever thought about it.

Zheng Lang wrote a letter to Fan Zhongyan last year, which was only disclosed by Fan Zhongyan's sons after Fan Zhongyan's death next year.

Imperial power and emperor!

Zhao Zhen felt very aggrieved, you Fan Zhongyan don't take me too seriously. Fan Zhongyan thinks he did the right thing, why? Maybe Fan Zhongyan didn't think about it deeply, but in fact, Fan Zhongyan's ideological outlook is that I serve the imperial power, the Zhao dynasty, not the emperor!

In a broad sense, this kind of thinking is more progressive, if it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if Zhao Ji and his ilk are out, the emperor is not good, and we will not listen to you as ministers, and we will forcibly put you in the air, and continue to make the Song Dynasty move towards a normal track. Then feudal rule was overcome even the last hurdle.

But Zheng Lang pointed out the most realistic and asked, how many ministers have such a high-spirited morality as you? Once this case is set a precedent, the imperial power has declined indefinitely, this is a feudal country, the imperial power is infinitely empty, and the power is delegated to the hands of the prime minister.

The country is waiting for chaos!

Zhao Kuangyin wanted a small bamboo blue, but he couldn't get it, not to tell Wenchen that the world is big, and the truth is the greatest, but to tell everyone a rule. As the rule-maker, even the emperor must abide by this rule and must not exceed it.

This rule is that both the emperor and the minister must check each other, so that the state runs like a machine, and will not delay state affairs due to the appearance of a faint king or treacherous appearance. In this machine, the emperor has the rights of the emperor, the civil servants have the rights of the civil ministers, and the military generals have the rights of the military generals, and they cannot exceed each other, especially the emperor, who must be in a core position, but cannot break through a bottom line, and the scholars are even more so.

The letter caused a stir when it was revealed

But Zheng Lang did not say two points in the letter, the first Zhao Kuangyi's incompetence, he used chemical means to ascend to power, that cold night, accompanied by the shadow of the small jade axe (re-applying, the paperweight is used, not a big axe, so there are many doubts about Zhao Kuangyin's death in the rumors), many generals loyal to Zhao Kuangyin were not convinced, so Zhao Kuangyi further relaxed the rights of Wenchen and consolidated his position. Coupled with the defeat of the Gaoliang River, the Song Dynasty was destined to be introverted.

Do you believe in Zhao Kuangyin's family law, or do you believe in Zhao Kuangyi's family law?

Who dares to mention it!

Secondly, Zhao Kuangyin's family law may not be right, although he is far better than Zhao Kuangyi in vision and loyalty, and martial strategy, this system is still not good, like Fan Zhongyan, too idealistic, no matter how it is restricted, once the emperor and the prime minister join forces to dim, the country will go to extinction. For example, Song Huizong and Cai Jing, Song Gaozong and Qin Hui.

Zheng Lang's letter just wants to make it clear that Wenchen is lawless and has no basis at all.

However, now this letter has not been disclosed, Zhao Zhen worked very hard, and finally took back part of the imperial power, but Wenchen was still lawless, robbing the rights of merchants, craftsmen, farmers, and generals, and by the way, without angering Zhao Zhen, he grabbed the emperor's rights again. …,

Yu Jing is one of the representatives of this group of scholars, I don't think he doesn't understand military affairs, "understand", read some military works, the battle of Diqing Kunlun Pass, almost the peak battle of the Song Dynasty and Zhao Zhen Dynasty. Zheng Lang also fought, fought hard, and did not destroy the enemy, while Di Qing only fought and destroyed all Nong Zhigao.

He himself, like Zhang Jiuling, is a native of Shaozhou, belongs to the Lingnan people, and also belongs to the place where the salt government in Qianzhou is turbulent. Knows a lot about barbarians.

Di Qing fought, he did a reflection, the Song Dynasty Pingnan battle, the most brilliant is definitely not Di Qing, but the famous general Pan Mei. But the second is the Battle of Kunlun Pass.

In addition to the Battle of Kunlun Pass, there was also the rebellion of Hengzhou Barbarian. In other battles, the Song Dynasty fought very hard, and even failed.

Why did Di Qing win, Yu Jing finally reflected on it and came up with one of the most important reasons to concentrate the enemy. When he was in Hengzhou, through the way of recruiting and giving gifts, the rebels were concentrated in Jiuzhi Mountain, and by the way, the enemy had the psychology of slackening and underestimating the enemy, and then used the strategy of cavalry impact and infantry encirclement to annihilate the enemy's main force in one fell swoop.

But after Di Qing went to Temo Road, he quickly crossed the three-string water of the pass bank (now Funing Peel Pass, Yunnan), Wenxiang Dam, and rushed through Wenxiangshui (later known as Xiyang River) with heavy soldiers after a bloody battle, but was blocked by Baoyue Pass and Paitou Mountain, without him, the terrain is too complicated, Di Qing is a famous general, but not a god!

Compared with other places, the barbarians who had the accident are a little better, the north is Fujian, the south is the most developed area of Guangnan Road, and the west is Jiangnan West Road, which is more mature than Jiangdong. These brute forces are not strong, often only about 100 or dozens of households. But think about the boundless dense forests and lofty mountains of Wuling, how difficult it is to exterminate them?

And the secretary of the army

After Nong Zhigao's devastation, and penetrating deep into Guangzhou, the most densely populated city, at least 100,000 households were killed, and the number of households in the entire two Guangxi provinces was only 780,000. It is impossible to count the civilians killed by Nong Zhigao, but the army can count that more than 20,000 soldiers and non-commissioned officers have died, of which Liangguang accounts for half. As for the more than 10,000 soldiers killed in battle under Nong Zhigao, Yu Jing ignored them, these people died a hundred, and it was best to die. Di Qing took more than 10,000 soldiers with him, and Liangguang was resting at this time, and he couldn't draw out many more troops.

It seems that there are soldiers who can be used, and there are two cadres of soldiers, which can be prevented, and another thousand soldiers are stationed in Qianlongzhai, Taipingzhai, Hengshanzhai and Yongzhou City together with the local native soldiers. Guizhou had to stay with more than 500 soldiers, and Zheng Lang could only use 500 men and 100 of his guards.

Six hundred people, want to take root in the vast Wuling area and wipe out these barbarians?

Someone can do it, such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Li Jing, or Ma Yuan, Ma Chao but definitely not Zheng Lang, not Di Qing, not even Zhuge Liang!

Yu Jing couldn't help but secretly pull Zheng Lang's hand and said in a low voice: "Xingzhi General Di's main force has not returned, don't offend these barbarians." ”

Most of the people who can come are familiar barbarians, and they will not be murderers on the path of piety. But God knows if they ever interacted?

Zheng Lang also whispered: "I'm angry. ”

"Anger must be contained."

"Brother An Dao," Zheng Lang frowned, there were too many words called An Dao in the Song Dynasty, several An Dao, and said slowly: "Who do you think I'm angry for?" ”

"For whom?"

"The murderer kills with a knife, is the murderer guilty or the knife guilty?"

"Murderer."

"Yes, though the sword is guilty, how many sins can there be, but the one who does evil is fierce."

Yu Jing understood what Zheng Lang meant, and said with a wry smile: "Xingzhi, if this is the case, it will be more difficult than you think." ”…,

"I want to be relaxed," Mr. Zheng said. The political difficulty of Qianzhou salt is difficult to form a huge chain of interests in the local private salt, including many officials in the eight states, and the barbarians may be used as a knife. But there are many advantages, one is the imperial court's hatred of Qianzhou Yanzheng, and the other is that outside the eight states, many areas of the wealthy and powerful businessmen look at this interest, Qianzhou Yanzheng is not only the Jiangxi Road Sanzhou Second Army, if it is smooth, it can even enter Tingzhou on Fujian Road through the evil river (Rongyang water), radiating to the western half of Zhangzhou, most of Nanjianzhou, Shao Wujun, and more than 200,000 households, more than one million people. If Jiangnan West Road is added, it is the salt used by five million people.

How many people were there in Western Xia, how many people were in Khitan, and the total number of people at the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty was only 20 million, which may not be enough!

Although the eight states are strong, the giants outside the eight states have not benefited.

That's the advantage.

But this time something happened on the pious road, which not only made the court worry about the situation in the south again, but also a naked oath, we are the head snakes of the land, you can go wherever you cross the river, don't want to divide this cake.

The barbarians are knives, and the fierce and poor people who are bewitched are also knives, and the real benefits are those behind them.

The consequences are not only that, the two are developing, it seems to be bad, and all kinds of strange legends also make the Central Plains people daunting, in fact, there are many advantages, and the other is people's curiosity hunting psychology. For example, Zheng Lang was not convinced, and encouraged people to make fans in Hangzhou, and came up with many ideas. But after turning around in the market, the fan still attracts the people and hunts for curiosities. Foreign brand-name goods, not good are also good.

Lingnan is not a foreign country, but it is made by clumsy and fierce barbarians, and it is no less attractive. Once developed, it will drive the development of the whole Lingnan.

But again and again rebellions, murders, robberies and robberies of officials, even he and Di Qing are in charge here, can not be stopped, the Central Plains people will have a complete fear of these, without the blow of advanced civilization, Lingnan will once again return to the dark and barbaric era.

In this case, there is only one way, to kill and stop killing!

Thinking of this, Zheng Lang said to these barbarian chiefs: "Everyone, a very bad thing happened a few days ago. ”

Tell me what happened on the godly path.

Some Yu Man stood up in panic and said, "Zheng Xianggong, it has nothing to do with us. ”

They are familiar with barbarians, the information is relatively developed, they have heard the battle of Kunlun Pass, so powerful Nong Zhigao, when he encountered the main force of the Song army, he was wiped out, he was not a barbarian, and he hid in the deep mountains and dense forests, and the Song army had nothing to lose, and he had to wash away his responsibility.

Moreover, once it is as this minister said, his tribe will live a better life than before. Defend yourself one by one.

Zheng Lang waved them to sit down again, and said, "But I need your cooperation." ”

One by one, the chiefs of these tribes looked embarrassed.

March is coming, their tribe still has to plant crops, even though this planting makes this minister repeatedly laugh at its backwardness, and the fact also feels a little backward, but what to do, in order to fill the stomach, spring comes, everything recovers, and you have to go into the mountains to hunt.

The most important thing is which reckless mountains do you want to enter to exterminate these barbarians, how many people do you have to fill? The Han people are afraid of these barbarians, and their own so-called familiar barbarians are also afraid of those barbarians.

Zheng Lang waved his hand again, stopping the buzzing discussion, and said, "What I need your cooperation is that a clan will send a representative to accompany a certain person on this salt road!" ”

No one objected, one only sent one person, even if he was sent to death, he couldn't refuse, who called someone from the Song Dynasty. …,

Yu Jing also has to object.

Zheng Lang waved his hand and said, "Brother An Dao, it's okay, don't forget, Zhang Chen still has the army in his hands." ”

"General Zhang, what ......" Yu Jing was silent.

Zheng Lang said again: "Everyone, this matter is too bad, I have to ask you to move to Xunzhou, and wait for this strong bandit to be wiped out and reconvene this council, but the delay will not be too long, only ten days." ”

The meaning of this sentence is very simple, I am angry, I must exterminate this barbarian and bandits, but I am confident, as long as ten days.

Everyone looked at each other and felt incredible, Hugh said that these barbarians in the deep mountains and old forests were the Song Dynasty army that came to suppress them, and they defended themselves according to the danger, and they might not take them down in ten days. But people have this confidence, so they have to believe that they should use the public funds of the Song Dynasty to travel. There are also some poor chiefs who have eaten well and slept well these days, and I hope that this meeting will not stop, and the longer the better.

Yu Jing's mouth opened again, for more than ten days, could it be that these barbarians are made of mud, and they will be broken with one blow, or that their heads are not enough?

Zheng Lang continued: "Brother An Dao, after I leave, the government affairs will be handed over to you to preside, but General Di is working harder over there, if he has any requirements, you must not embarrass him." ”

Although Di Qing was not recalled, Zhao Zhen was happy to reward him as the prime minister of the Song Dynasty as the prime minister of the Song Dynasty to protect the country, listen to these names. Although it is a fake official, which official title is not the top? It is estimated that a group of scholars and doctors are about to go crazy in a hurry.

Di Qing led more than 20,000 people in the Desperate Domain, in case Yu Jing's eyes were red and hateful, he would draw a ladder in the back, and the big thing would go.

Yu Jing sneered: "Xingzhi, rest assured, I will put national affairs first." ”

The relationship between him and Zheng Lang was even more strange, and after Zheng Lang came to Guizhou, he trusted him very much, and that policy also reached his ears, especially when he said that he should not disregard the southern minister, which made him appreciate it very much. But the two are by no means all the way, his tough personality makes him and Zheng Lang never get along, Zheng Lang doesn't like his personality of admitting death, and he doesn't like Zheng Lang's slightly feminine personality.

Everyone dispersed.

Zheng Lang returned home and wrote an urgent letter to Jibi.

Then he said to Yue'er: "I'm going to leave for a while." ”

"Concubine accompanies micro ......"

"It's inconvenient, I have to check various places during this time, and there may be military operations."

As soon as she heard about the military operation, Yue'er was worried, and the sword and arrow had no eyes, and Yue'er was worried.

"Don't be afraid, I'm afraid of death."

Yue'er smiled very happily.

"I don't want to have a woman in the army, but when the war comes, it will eventually affect morale, and I don't want to make this bad start. If you are in a hurry, you can call the moon that has not moved to tell the story. ”

"Didn't move Mingyue......" Yue'er covered her mouth and teased Zheng Lang suspiciously.

After Yaoshan said goodbye, it is possible that the Wuyi clan was a little reserved, or Zheng Ran's appetite, or he was afraid of affecting Zheng Lang's future, so he did not look for Zheng Lang again, but he set up a large piece of wasteland near Guizhou, prepared to plant tea and sugar cane, and wrote a letter to his family, asking the family to send someone to support. I bought a house not far from Zheng's house, it seems! I want to fight a protracted war. Zheng Lang was also afraid in his heart, if he wanted people not to know, unless he did nothing, now that he was discovered, he didn't do anything, no matter what others said, he was not afraid. Once you do it, if you eat it in one bite, sooner or later it will be known by others, so if you spread it, you want to be a country or a beauty!

How do you choose?

Hearing something about the Move, he didn't dare to meet the Moveshift again.

If you leave by yourself, it's not a big problem, there aren't many Jingguan, or Yu Jing's wife, who is also fifty years old, has a generation gap, and is difficult to get along with Yue'er. However, there is not much difference in age between Yue'er and the Wuyi clan, to comfort Yue'er's homesickness, and the Wuyi clan brought a few guards from the unmoved clan, the two overlapped and had a protection. In fact, Zheng Lang subconsciously has something else, but Zheng Lang himself will not think about it.........

"What nonsense are you talking about", Zheng Lang knocked on her head: "What kind of person am I?" ”

Yue'er seems to believe that her husband is a very restrained person, but what makes her strange is that one day, her husband actually did six times, and every time he hit him, he went deep into his flower heart, and he was so brave that Yue'er was completely defeated. The next morning, Zheng Lang was paralyzed, and so was she. She thought of the appearance of the Wuyi clan again, and was faintly uneasy.

Two days later, Zhang Lei's subordinates were transferred, along with Tian Yu and Zhou Xin.

After the meeting, Zheng Lang said: "Zizhong, Ji Zhen, you came just in time, accompany me to Xunzhou for a trip, it is better to read ten thousand books than to travel thousands of miles, take a look around, have an understanding of the situation in the two Guangzhou, and it is more conducive to you to assist me in governing the two Guangzhou." ”

was about to go on the road, but Yu Jing was anxious again and asked, "Xingzhi, just these troops?" ”

I thought that Zheng Lang borrowed two or three thousand troops from Zhang Tian, but there were only three hundred people, and with the army that Zheng Lang took away, the total number was only nine hundred. What can nine hundred do? When you go to the peak of Wuling, you can't see anyone. This person wants to exterminate the barbarians?

Zheng Lang said: "Brother An Dao, the rule of officials is your strength, but the military is not your strength, nine hundred people are enough." ”

Tian Yuhu asked suspiciously: "What is enough?" ”

Yu Jing's face was covered with black ash, and he said angrily: "Zizhong, Xingzhi led nine hundred people to follow the pious path to exterminate those barbarians some time ago. ”

Brother, what do you think you are going to travel, but you are wrong, you and Zhou Xin are accompanying this bold guy to death.
