The case is certainly big, but you can't look at the surface.

First, it originated in Zizhou and occurred in Luzhou, that is, the line from Neijiang to Yibin in later generations. But now it is not the later generations, but in the Song Dynasty, where the barbarians live together, and the jurisdiction also belongs to Zizhou Road, Zheng Lang said that the Kuixia Fourth Road, in fact, is three roads, Chengdu Fu Road is not counted, although there are also a large number of fetters on the west side of Chengdu, but the situation is better. The four roads refer to the other three roads, Lizhou Road is counted as half, Zizhou Road is counted as more than half, and Kuizhou Road is all. Zizhou belongs to Zizhou Road, and even later generations can still see many ethnic minorities living in this area. Therefore, the management of the imperial court was not very strict, and homicides often occurred.

That is to say, if it happened in the Central Plains or the southeast, this case may rise to the sky, but if it happened in the Zizhou Road area, all officials will automatically lower the ruler requirements in their hearts.

attracted the attention of the imperial court, and also felt that Li Shun and Wang Xiaobo, the reason for the uprising of the two was because the interests of small and medium-sized tea merchants were harmed by the monopoly of the imperial court, so they rebelled. The reason for the growth of the uprising was Wang Quanbin's brutal killing after entering Shu, which caused the people of Bashu to be dissatisfied.

Therefore, in the future, the imperial court attached great importance to Bashu, and almost every person sent to Bashu Yizhou Zhizhou was almost the first-class good official of the imperial court, and even when it was rumored that Nong Zhigao invaded the north in Sichuan, the imperial court hurriedly transferred Zhang Fangping to Sichuan despite Zhang Fangping's financial management.

If it hadn't been implicated in Zizhou Zhizhou, the Lu family would have been a homicide at best.

The second thing is the intention of the tea merchant surnamed Zhou.

This has to start with commercial taxes.

Before the introduction of the new commercial tax, the imperial court also had defensive measures, and the imperial court used to clearly stipulate that if anyone dared to hide goods and goods were captured by the lawsuit, less than one-third of them were still used to arrest or sue others. As long as you catch it. One third of his goods were confiscated. Give the arrest fast and the whistleblower. as a reward.

In the first year of Tiansheng, Jiang Ze, a citizen of Fuyang, Hangzhou, and others reported that Shen Zan, a big businessman, had evaded taxes, and the government sent people to arrest him. The more than 180 horses of the high-grade Wuzhou Luo that he trafficked were included in the official and paid a reward. It stands to reason that Wuzhou Luo has more than two horses, that is, Jiang Ze and others can reward more than two hundred yuan. This was not the case at the time of execution, after the provincial officials looked at the case. The re-judgment found that Wuzhou Luoke (referring to Shen Zan) evaded taxes along the way, and all of them were included in the officials, that is, they unconditionally paid the reward to the informant, and they wanted to pay according to the article, and the number should not exceed 100 yuan.

Why is this so, the imperial court also hates tax evasion, and if it has no power or power, the enforcement will be strict. However, the court hated reporting. It is believed that it is harmful to the people, so 100 is the upper limit. It's only a hundred dollars. Who is willing to take the risk to get these big guys. Zizhou kills people and destroys people, most of the Jiangdong and Zhejiang provinces will not, but they can offend these rich and powerful people, God knows how they will retaliate in the future. Because of the sharp reduction in commercial tax, in order to make up for the commercial tax, Tiansheng made a new regulation in the second year, the bride gift used in marriage, such as in the state and county, can be exempted from commercial tax, if to other states and counties, that is, according to the rules of the tax, the place shall not be notarized. Of course, the result of the execution is only for those who have no power and no power. Zheng Lang greeted Cui Xian, and he didn't see what taxes the official came to collect.

A limit of 100 guan, the whistleblower gradually disappeared, and the highest commercial tax was collected to 23 million guan, don't take it seriously, the interests of the powerful are very little harmed, and it is still small and medium-sized businessmen, and even small stall vendors.

When Zheng Lang reformed the commercial tax, he re-established the reporting system, and those who reported the truth of luxury goods would be fined 100 times the actual price of the goods, even if they stole a thousand times the amount before, it was also 100 times, or the first offense, it was still 100 times. If you don't investigate it before, the more you save it, the more chaotic it becomes, you can't catch it, and if you catch it, you'll be unlucky. However, luxury goods are more likely to evade taxes, so the starting price is 1,000 yuan. After the whistleblower checks the truth, he can get half of the money, and the starting price is 500 yuan, and there is no upper limit, if he is fined 10,000 yuan, he can get 5,000 yuan.

Tax evasion of ordinary goods is also very severe, not only fines and confiscations, but according to the grade, it is also divided into three classes, and the fines are two, three, and four times respectively, and the whistleblower still gets half. It is precisely because of this strict system of fines and confiscation and reporting system that the nominal commercial tax of the imperial court has decreased, but the actual commercial tax has increased. From the institutional point of view, it effectively protects small and medium-sized businessmen, but this time, large businessmen will be easy to be targeted, they traffic goods each time the amount of goods is not trivial, as long as the penalty is one, the whistleblower will get a lot of money, the new commercial tax law itself has many positive significance, but it is this reporting system, causing great controversy and opposition.

When it was actually implemented, Zheng Lang did not urge, on the contrary, he tacitly signaled that everyone should be a little more restrained when they were checking to reduce the controversy. There are also people who report it, and the target is a powerless person, a person who really has a status and status, who dares to offend. It is precisely because of this that the controversy over the new commercial tax law has gradually subsided. Those who are confiscated have no status and status, and it is unlikely that they want to make trouble.

The businessman surnamed Zhou actually dared to report despite the fact that someone in the Lu family was a middle-level Beijing official in the court, and ordinary people thought that he was crazy for money, but Zheng Lang saw a trace of unusual meaning, that is, two words, resistance!

This is certainly a good situation.

But Zheng Lang didn't dare to say it, what he said just now was not to encourage anything, it was to draw it. Let this situation develop slowly, just like Gewuxue, one is the imperial court, the other is Zhengjiazhuang, the current Zhengzhen, I don't want to replace Confucianism with Gewuxue, on the contrary, I have always attached great importance to Confucianism, two places, let it develop freely.

The reason for saying it is still for money, like Wang Anshi, thinking of finance, Zheng Lang is about to get a money demon.

Zeng Gongliang raised his eyebrows and said, "Xingzhi, the imperial court has already strictly investigated. ”

"Yan Cha, that was the boatman who escaped by luck, what if he didn't escape?"

Zhao Ji asked, "What does Xingzhi mean?" ”

"It is not a strict investigation, the minister has seen many problems, in order to put an end to this phenomenon, Your Majesty please issue an edict that officials in various places shall not shield the reported businessmen, if there is, the lighter ones will be demoted to three levels, and if they lead to beatings or even murders, they will be removed from all official positions and will never be hired. If it is covered up by officials of various supervision departments, regardless of its severity, they will be removed from all their positions and will never be hired. ”

"Yes, just for some money, five lives were lost, how cruel! Quasi-play! ”

"I also ask Your Majesty to play the minister, the minister was originally going to quit the post of the third department, but there was such a big case in the business tax. The minister begged His Majesty to let the minister concurrently know the three envoys for another year. ”

"Xingzhi. I'm only afraid that it will damage my reputation. The second is that there have been many events since then," Zeng Gongliang said.

Zheng Lang is also the third envoy, everyone is welcome first, he is not also the third envoy. On the contrary, everyone is not at ease. Zeng Gongliang is afraid that there will be chaos below, and his idea is also the idea of most people. As soon as the front is finished, the back echoes it together.

"Ming Zhong. Is this what is called folk customs? Zheng Lang took the case file and said: "The year before last, a new commercial tax law was introduced to prevent tax avoidance and set up a strict penalty and confiscation system. As a result of last year's increase in commercial taxes, the situation is even worse this year. This reminds me of the implementation of the tea law in the second year of Xiangfu, which once increased the amount of money collected by the tea law from 730,000 yuan the year before to 7 million yuan. It is a matter of prosperity to eliminate harm, and also to support the country and help the people. But then in the officials and Haoqiang tacit understanding, continue to increase the tea introduction, so that the Lint tea law destroyed, to the second year of Tianxi only a few short years, officials and businessmen colluded, Ding Wei was angry, the book said that the border is only 500,000, and the southeast 3.6 million tea profits are all to the merchants, to the fifth year of Tianxi, the imperial court only 50,000 tea profits, in fact, and then throw away the labor costs, has been seriously lost. Commercial taxes soared the year before last, and I signaled that the implementation must be lenient, last year's name increased and decreased, and this year in only four months, it reduced nearly one million yuan of income, how similar are the two? ”

In the first four months, there was a deficit of nearly one million, which cannot be used as a perennial number, and there may be a deficit of two million or one million for the whole year, but it is certainly one, and it is impossible to be the same as last year. The speed of this drastic landslide seems to be similar to that of the tea method in the last years of the True Sect.

But it is impossible, small and medium-sized businessmen will never be able to escape, and even if they decline, they will not slip below 10 million. However, Zheng Lang is short of money, and the practice of the tea merchant surnamed Zhou makes him faintly see a gratifying side, why not protect this bud growth?

He also said: "Ming Zhong, as for the dispute, it is not that I want to argue, but I signaled the local officials to enforce the leniency, and the leniency was settled, but these people immediately pressed the court. How can I be humble? If I am not afraid of disputes, there are two things, the first of which is that doctors and their families are not allowed to do business. Second, starting from the source, not only those who traffick tax evaders will be punished, but also those who purchase tax evasion goods will be punished. How many people still dare to avoid taxes? ”

Doctors and their families are not allowed to trade, and injustice is reduced by one-third. Starting with the purchaser, the forfeiture system will also reduce the channels for tax avoidance by one-third.

It is also impossible, if it is really done, it will not take half a year, not only Zheng Lang, but even many important ministers of the two governments and three departments will step down in the surging opposition.

"This incident reminded me that the officials below are chaotic in law enforcement, and they must regulate the goods from production to trafficking, and this is a play by the ministers." Zheng Lang handed out a notebook. That is, the workshop tax, this tax is really messy, some are included in the two taxes, some are included in the commercial tax, and some are included in the income of the supervisor, from now on, all are taxed, and the improved tax exemption law is the same, and some care is carried out for large households. Not to mention unfairness, the implementation is already the maximum fairness. All workshops with an output value of 200 taels employing two workers began to be taxed, which was a tax protection for the fourth and fifth class households, and some of them weaved some small things at home to subsidize the family, and the output value would exceed 200 yuan, but it was not in the ranks of taxation. Between 200 and 500 yuan a year, 500 to 1,000 yuan is taxed, 500 to 1,000 yuan is taxed, 5,000 yuan to 5,000 yuan is taxed, 5,000 yuan is taxed, 5,000 yuan is taxed, and so on, if the output value of 600,000 yuan is taxed, 5,000 yuan is taxed.

After the workshop tax has been levied, no disguised tax shall be levied on the workshop. Or is it a kind of rational taxation, first of all, how much is this output value, and how to check it?

As for Haoqiang, just continue to mean it.

The target of taxation is still those who have no power and power, but there are two positive significance, the tax will be standardized, no longer pay other taxes, there will be no petty officials to use harsh taxes to extort, the state revenue will not decrease, if the implementation is good, even the tax will increase, the reduction is the pockets of the petty officials. We will further effectively protect small and medium-sized business owners, so that the original capital market can gradually grow strongly.

The second is the regulation itself, from production to trafficking tax standardization, the improvement of the industrial and commercial tax system, will have an irreplaceable significance, and further promote the formation of the capital market.

What Zheng Lang did was only to formulate a loose framework, and how to develop and improve it later depends on Zheng Lang's achievements in Zhongshu. impact. How much has changed the atmosphere of officialdom. Also, he still has influence after he became a minister, how many years can he live after he becomes a minister, if his life is short. is only sixty years old, and he can only die before he can make a quick move, which often makes heroes cry, including all kinds of benign reforms that Zheng Lang is doing now, will give up halfway. If you are seventy years old. Then he can live two more years than Zhao Ji, a hard-working baby.

It shouldn't be so bitter, Zheng Lang taught him not to be greedy, even if the government affairs are so heavy, he didn't hand over much government affairs to Zhao Ji to deal with, Zheng Lang's nanny-style service also made Zhao Ji worry a lot. Then Zheng Lang will have an incomparable impact. If Wen Yanbo had a lifespan, he would have lived to be ninety-one years old, and Yue Fei would be five years old. If there is really such a lifespan, Zhongshu will bring unprecedented governance to the Song Dynasty, and by the way, the Western Xia will be solved for the Song Dynasty. It was not the two Song Dynasty crises, the Song Dynasty was under his guidance. There will be a freak that has never existed in history at all.

At present, this workshop tax is just a framework, just like the things he did in Zhao Zhen's Dynasty, the seemingly reform, the actual reform, if there is no foundation laid by Zhao Zhen, no matter how many golden fingers he has now, as long as he doesn't want to harsh the people, there is no way to solve the economic crisis.

Everyone looked at this so-called workshop tax.

There is a lot of trouble with the so-called output value, which is not very heavy, but I am not very opposed to it, but I am worried about the consequences of the strict implementation of the whistleblowing system.

The edict was issued.

There is support, the first is the abomination of the homicide, and the second thinks that Zheng Lang is forced by the country's financial pressure to accumulate wealth, although he began to repay his debts, the war in the northwest has started again, and whoever carries this burden will be in a hurry, of course, the officials are not angry, if it means it, why bother to implicate everyone?

However, opposition has risen again.

Didn't you say that you won't reform, why is it coming again? In fact, it is not a reform, but an improvement, the mystery of which Zheng Lang only said to a few students and Zhao Ji's mother and son, the commercial tax law and regulations are relatively relaxed, including the new workshop tax, if all kinds of bad phenomena occur, or the commercial tax seriously declines, tighten it, the commercial tax can be increased immediately, and the atmosphere can be reversed. If the commercial tax is increased and relaxed, the opposition will be weakened and the pressure will be reduced.

I asked to stay in the third division for another year, and this year must be tight, and then I left the third division and slowly relaxed.

Gao Tao laughed dumbly when he heard this.

She had a misunderstanding, thinking that Zheng Lang was afraid of the credit, and the credit was high, so she took the initiative to pour some sewage on her body to avoid suspicion, so she was silent, but in fact, Zheng Lang did this, and he didn't think about avoiding suspicion at all.

And the financial situation is really improving.

This year, the wind and rain in the Western Xia were smooth, and the Song Dynasty was also smooth in the wind and rain, and the grains were abundant. With the autumn harvest approaching, fighting broke out on the front, but the rear side was paying off its arrears one after another due to financial easing. First of all, Shaanxi Road was transferred to Hebei Road, not only did the three roads bear heavy labor and military service, but also related to Zheng Lang's plan at the end of the year, that is, what was written on the policy for Zeng Bu. And then to Bashu, mainly Chengdu Fu Road, the other three roads are almost indebted, dare to levy? and then to Liangguang, there is not much debt, and it is spontaneously lent to the imperial court.

Zheng Lang set up a monument in Liangguang and Jinghu Road, the people set up many ancestral halls, Zheng Lang has been borrowing money to live in debt for two years before entering the Zhongshu, after the news spread to the south, many people took the initiative to lend money to the imperial court. Although the amount is not much, the intention is quite good, after repayment, at least half of the people donated their interest to the charity association, I only have the principal, the interest is gone, let's do good deeds. But this made Zheng Lang and Cui Xian feel disliked. It is not a good thing for a minister to have a higher prestige than a master.

Then he went to Jinghu South to plant, and at the end of the year, he went to Jingxi Road. Nominally, half of the area owes repayment, but the next is the big one, the first is Liangzhejiang, followed by Jiangnan West Road, Huainan Road, Jingdong Road, Jiangnan East Road, Jinghu North Road. The largest two debts, plus interest and overdrafts, have reached more than 40 million yuan in six or seven years.

There were more and more objections, and some people used Zheng Lang's dictatorship to talk about things, and Zheng Lang was forced to have no choice but to propose again that Wen Yanbo be transferred to Xifu as a privy envoy. Wu Chong can't do it, he has to set up a strong enemy in the court. Anyway, Wen Yanbo is in Luoyang, and he has nothing to do to bring people to oppose it, so it is better to put him under his nose.

Zheng Lang's actions made Gao Tao and Zhao Ji a little crying and laughing. Zhao Ji said: "Zheng Gong, don't be so careful, if you talk about it, I am still a student of Zheng Gong." ”

However, he finally agreed to Zheng Lang's suggestion.

But the following reports have risen, punishment one by one, and the opposition still cannot be calmed down, on the contrary, it is getting bigger and bigger.

At this moment, a timely rain came from the northwest.

First of all, Wang Shao was promoted to the Ministry of Tibet and concurrently operated Tian Shiyi. This is for the sake of making money. Therefore, it is stricter than Zheng Lang in Weizhou Luofa. So there was a dispute with Li Shizhong, and it turned out that Wang Shao's iron buddy Xiang Bao, who was wandering in Shaanxi, also disagreed, and said: "The Fan Department can't drink and eat sweetly, and it must be graceful and powerful." And the Tibetan part can be combined but not available. ”

This person is the son of Fan Zi Xiangjin recommended by Zheng Lang, good at riding and shooting, and beheaded two people when he was fourteen years old, when Guo Miaoshan rebelled. Zeng robbed many golden silk children into the mountain, fired bows and arrows at the treasure, repelled them, and returned all the gains. Liang Shi once praised his flying generals. Zhao Ji also praised his bravery, which is more expensive than Xue Ren, although he is not as expensive as Xue Ren, he can be regarded as one of the brave generals in the northwest.

When he was a teenager, he watched Zheng Lang's various practices in Weizhou, so he did not approve of it. Your camp and city are not Zheng Gong's kind of camp and city change, I don't agree.

After the court heard about it, Zhao Ji also liked Xiang Bao very much. I want to use Xiang Bao and lift it so that the weight is moderate. Wang Anshi agreed with Wang Shao's opening, afraid of frustrating Wang Shao's plan, so he continued to use Wang Shao to promote, and promoted another person, Gao Zunyu was also promoted. Gao Taotao was naturally very happy, this little stone is good, and he can think of the uncle of the mourning family. After Gao Zunyu went down, he wore a pair of pants with Wang Shao and squeezed out Xiang Bao. Wang Anshi didn't like Li Shizhong again, and said: "The division is so insulting and slow before and after, and now Yu Shao is doing things and specializing in dirty, if Your Majesty wants to preserve, it is advisable to increase training and make you jealous." Dangyun: 'Fu Qing all the way, it is advisable to transfer a general for me, so that the court is blessed. With a Wang Shao today, what loss does Yu Xiangbao have, so he wants to resentful and refuses to die? If this is the case, will the court not be punished and killed? Qing is the commander-in-chief, how can he be exempted from responsibility? Shao was established, Qing is discussed, the success or failure of the matter, the court will be rewarded, and the Qing will be the head, not in Shao. ’”

Li Shizhong played again, the treasure was on the side and there was no reason to be safe, begging for the treasure, and the special committee Shao and Zunyu.

It happened that the two clans of Qinzhou Tuoshuo and Longbo had a feud, and Dong Yu helped Tuoshuo with soldiers, which caused some of the Tibetan tribes to feel unfair.

Zeng Gongliang planned to ask for it, Fu Bi said that he would blame Shao for abstaining from encouragement, and Wang Anshi said that Shao and others should not be punished for abstaining and encouraged, and they should investigate the truth and truth.

The three of them played, Zhao Ji blamed Li Shizhong for playing back and forth, one time to stop Xiang Bao, one time to use Xiang Bao, so he agreed with Wang Anshi's suggestion, Wen Yanbo said: "Shao, Zun Yu have to specialize in things, not by the coach Li Shizhong, Li Shizhong anti-Feng Shao and so on?" ”

Zhao Ji said: "Shao's measures are all about Coach Bai. ”

Wang Anshi said: "If Shaocuo is harmful, the teacher will play it together." The division is unscrupulous, and he insults the imperial court, why Feng Shao and others? ”

In terms of quarrel kung fu, Wen Yanbo is not Wang Anshi's opponent, Wen Yanbo is gorgeously defeated.

But the discord between the generals is not a way in the end, Zhao Ji wanted to move Guo Kui to replace Li Shizhong, Zeng Gongliang said: "Yanzhou is indispensable. ”

Western Xia suffered a loss, what if the army came to retaliate as Zheng Lang said?

Zhao Ji wanted to move Cai Ting again, Wang Anshi said: "It's better to move than to move." ”

Wen Yanbo said: "Wang Anshi doesn't know about Shaanxi, Yanzhou is heavier than Qinzhou, and it cannot be moved. ”

Wang Anshi said: "The ministers don't know about Shaanxi, but now the Qinzhou Fan Brigade refuses, and the Xia State sometimes commits a small border city, or it is connected, then the Qinzhou matter is not very serious?" And all the roads in Shaanxi are opposite to the Xia country, there is a gap in one place, and when the Xia country comes to peep, then the peep is the place where the important person is. If Kui Ruo can't be moved, will Dou Shunqing take the lead? ”

Dou Shunqing was nominally under the command of Wang Shao in the Huaide Army War, but he has always been in Wang Shao's class, and the cooperation between the two is very pleasant, so it should not matter much if Dou Shunqing knows Qinzhou. And it is true that the front is quarrelling, when Wang Shao quarreled with Li Shizhong, he built two cities in Weiyuan in a row, and the troops were coerced to win the army, there was no way, if there was no action, the mouth would be broken, and the Fan Department might not be willing to surrender. Li Shizhong spoke out again. Either listen to the east or listen to the west, if it goes on like this, Qin Fenglu will be chaotic. Zheng Lang finally spoke on the side: "It's okay to let Dou Shunqing go, he knows a lot about military affairs, and he has been in the northwest for a long time, so he is familiar with Fanqiang." Moreover, Xiang Bao is a brave general, so it is a pity not to be honest, it is better to transfer him to Jingyuan Road, and then transfer the Deshun army and the general Qu Zhen from Jingyuan Road to Qinzhou, so as to appease the heart of Qinzhou Zhufan. ”

Zhao agreed.

Whether it is Dou Shunqing or Qu Zhen, they will not oppose Wang Shao, this is to give Wang Shao the maximum space. And Qin Fenglu also has the deputy chief Yang Wenguang, the capital supervisor Zhang Shouyue and other brave generals. In fact, if Guo Cheng, Miao Zhu and other generals grow up, it will be quite impressive for them to go to the Song Dynasty.

In July, Liang Yi was plundered by Jintang and increased his troops. Li Fugui sent the general Li Kezhong and the general Zhao Yuqing to lead the crowd to attack it, and the Western Xia had already prepared this time, ambushing the troops in the Luohe River. The Song army entered the ambush circle, the Western Xia troops came out, cut off all the Song army, rushed to the cavalry impact, the official army was defeated, Li Kezhong's return road was cut off, and he had to lead the remnants to flee along the mountain road in the east, and only fled back to Gyeongju for a month.

This time made the Liang family furious, just in the year of the wind and rain, so the Liang family sent the territory of the Fan from below seventy, more than fifteen as soldiers, prepare 100 days of rations, ready to attack the five roads along the border, the spies saw that Huanqing was the most lax defense, divided the troops into the road, numbered 300,000, at least 250,000 troops, launched an attack on Huanqing.

When the news arrived in the capital, this time Fu Bi finally understood why Zheng Lang said that there were not many 150,000 horses. It was named 150,000 horses, 30,000 remained in Xiaoguan, and there were only 120,000 people, and this time it was more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, which was twice as much.

Compared with Yuan Hao, there is no craziest, only crazier. As for what will become of the lives of the people of Western Xia after this war, maybe the Liang family will not think about it at all.

Nearly 300,000 troops swarmed all over the mountains, and all the villages in front of Gyeongju, such as Dashun City, Rouyuan Village, Liyuan Fort, Huai'an Town, Donggu Village, Xigu Village, and Yele Town, were all besieged. Fortunately, Yang Sui, the deputy general manager who was transferred to Huanqing Road, was very brave and took the initiative to lead the army to Dayi Village on the front line of Dashun City, so that the Xia soldiers could not advance eastward. So the Xia soldiers attacked the water village of Dashun City again, and the water village was crumbling, and Yang Sui sent the striker Gao Min to the rescue. Xiang Minli battle channel, although the harvest is quite rich, the more the enemy can be encircled, to the time of Yulin, forty miles west of Daqingzhou, the reinforcements do not arrive, Yang Sui can not be blamed, everywhere is tight, there are no soldiers to help, the Western Xia soldiers are heavily surrounded, Gao Min is sacrificed, and hundreds of soldiers of the whole army are wiped out together.

Liang Yibury led the main force to attack Rouyuan Village, and the guard Lin Guang held on, and the soldiers should not act rashly. In the middle of the night, Liang Yi buried the soldiers to carry dry firewood on their backs and set fire to the village to disrupt the Song army, and Lin Guangtun was at ease. Liang Yi buried the plan without success, and the next day he attacked the city with siege equipment, Lin Guang defended with the party, and when the night came, Lin Guang in turn recruited dead soldiers to attack the camp at night, which once caused chaos among nearly 100,000 troops in Western Xia. If it weren't for the small number of Song troops in the village, it was possible that the Western Xia army would be defeated this night.

Rouyuan Village is difficult to gnaw, Liang Yi buried and attacked Liyuan Village and Huai'an Town, captured the guard Zhang Ji, and escorted him to Donggu Village, so that he persuaded the Song army of Donggu Village to surrender, and falsely claimed that Huai'an Zhuzhai had been broken and should be quickly landed. But he didn't expect Zhang Ji to come to the village and shouted: "Work hard!" The villages are safe, and the thieves will have to retreat when they run out of food, and they will not be able to surrender. ”

Liang Yi was furious and killed Zhang Ji. He also turned to attack Xiguzhai and Yele Town, and sent troops to Yulin and Gyeongju. Yao Yao, the inspector, led a small number of Song troops in the city to fight tenaciously, and the Western Xia army attacked for nine days, Wei Qingzong, Qin Bo and other generals died successively, and Shaanxi was shaken.

Bad news continued to enter the capital, not a joke, when Liang Yibu led 120,000 soldiers and horses into the Huaide army, it had already shocked the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, but this time it was 300,000 soldiers and horses. Once Gyeongju is broken, the situation in Shaanxi is critical.

Almost all the important ministers gathered in the capital hall to discuss, and Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, all the ministers, don't worry. There are two strategies that can be calmly resolved, the first one is that if there is no accident, there will be a third party to solve a crisis for our dynasty. If not, the minister has another plan. ”

"A third party?" Zhao asked suspiciously.

"Dong Yu!" When Zheng Lang said these two words, his heart was actually mixed. (To be continued.) )
