It's too tight, and it's presumptuous.

================

Under the blue sky was ochre-yellow land, and the south wind kept blowing, and the dust was raised, making the heaven and earth shift between chaos and blue and yellow from time to time. If it weren't for the fact that you could still see some green in the canal, it would be like the end of the world.

"Gong Zheng, that Zheng Xia is over," Li Shunju said.

The capital is densely packed with canals, which is difficult to see, and all the way to the west, I know how serious the drought is. How difficult it is to have such a catastrophe without any thieves (peasant uprisings) and without hearing how many people starved to death.

Fan Chunren rode on the horse and did not make a sound, since Zheng Lang entered the center of the country for the second time, initiated reforms, and set off many controversies, some Fan Chunren agreed, and some Fan Chunren did not agree with it.

Either way, it will depend on the outcome in the end.

That's the result!

He pondered seriously on horseback.

Zheng Lang looked at him, smiled slightly, and made some excessive requests to Zhao Ji before leaving, which cannot be regarded as requirements, but some policy issues in the west, as well as the selection of some officials.

brought two people over, one was Li Shunju, the great eunuch who was once admired by Zhao Shu.

Overseer!

General Li Xian supervised Wang Shao's army, and he came to supervise Zheng Lang and Zhang Qi's army.

Moreover, this person was quite appreciated by Gao Tao, and Zheng Lang took him to the northwest as the second royal eye of this military operation.

Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years!

It has nothing to do with being timid and afraid.

The second person is Fan Chunren, once Huangzhou is taken, it is no longer the sixth road on the edge of Shaanxi, it is too far from Chang'an City to Huangzhou, and it is a place of soldiers, and it must be decided in time. Therefore, it was necessary to go on a different path. A real road that does not belong to the jurisdiction of Shaanxi Road.

It's just to pacify the river. In order to appease, to govern, will continue to use troops on a small scale, and must set up a pacification strategy to recruit envoys. It's just a pacifier or a slur to make it. Wang Shao doesn't care, but with the appeasement strategy of the new road, and the exploit of Hehuang's great victory, it may have harmed Wang Shao.

This question was directly thrown out by Zheng Lang at the capital meeting. After the Battle of Hehuang, Wang Shao could not stay in Xinlu, why, because the ancestral family law made the scholars and doctors misunderstand, the border generals could not fail, meritorious service can be, can not make great contributions, otherwise they must be hidden in the snow and used, that is a crime. Wang Shao will definitely become the second Di Qing.

Zheng Lang is not targeting that person, this group is huge. Including the scholars and doctors who supported him, Sima Guang and Fan Chunren were inevitably vulgar.

However, Hehuang is very complicated, and if he is not familiar with it in advance, he cannot immediately go to take over the situation, and there will be big problems.

This familiarity includes folk customs, the distribution of tribes in various places, the familiarity with the soldiers, the understanding of the terrain, and so on.

So the imperial court agreed to Zheng Lang's request to let Fan Chunren know Qinzhou, and Zhang Shangying took over Fan Chunren's duties.

There is definitely no problem for Fan Chunren to take over, but there are actually a few meanings, and few people know. Zhao Ji asked Zheng Lang who could be the prime minister, and Zheng Lang said a few people, but these people are similar to Zheng Lang's age, and there must be a successor, and Zhang Shangying is only thirty-one years old.

Zhang Shangying took over the post of supervision department, which had a strong sense of promotion and observation.

Fan Chunren also has other meanings in the west, Fan Zhongyan is quite praised in the northwest, Fan Chunyou died of exhaustion in the northwest, plus Fan Chunren's own identity, in line with what Zheng Lang said.

It is difficult to occupy the river, and it is even more difficult to manage stability.

Others may not be relieved to go to Zheng Lang.

Of course, the first premise is that Dong Yu must be defeated. If it fails, the problem will be serious......

The wind became stronger and stronger, and the sky and earth were covered with a layer of gray mist, and the five fingers were almost invisible on the opposite side.

Fan Chunren finally spoke: "Gong Zheng, if the drought is not stopped, there will be a crisis." ”

"Yaofu, what do you mean?"

"Grain, I have pondered in the Supervision Department, although the imperial court has a large amount of grain reserves, if the drought continues until next autumn, the price of grain will ......."

"What will happen to the price of food?" Li Shunju asked on the side.

"The area affected by the drought is too large, and the imperial court has a lot of grain reserves, and the merchants dare not hoard too much. If the drought continues next year, and the imperial court's grain reserves are gradually decreasing, those merchants will inevitably hoard and raise grain prices. As soon as the price of grain is high, more people will join the ranks of the displaced people and rely on the imperial court to survive, and the consumption of grain reserves will accelerate. ”

Fan Chunren didn't go any further.

This is also the reason why some people oppose Hehuang's use of soldiers, if they do not use soldiers, the imperial court can allocate more money to prepare food. Once the army is used, the imperial court is short of money, and it is impossible to prepare grain on a large scale. It doesn't matter if the drought ends next spring, but who can guess for sure about this natural disaster?

It stands to reason that it will not be possible to continue until next year, and if it happens, if there is a three-year or four-year drought, the problem will be big.

"I won't ......," Zheng Lang said.

The drought is extended to the autumn of next year, but although the drought exists next year, it has been alleviated, and the Song Dynasty in history has survived the crisis.

The wind stopped a little, the fog lifted a little, and a tall shadow came out of the gray fog.

Zheng Su rode back from the front and reported: "Gong Zheng, Jingzhao Mansion has arrived." ”

"Prepare to set up camp."

"Whoa."

Three thousand soldiers began to dismount and set up camp.

Zheng Lang is in charge of the army, not as strict as Yue Fei, but the military discipline is also very strict, and the most exclusive thing is to disturb the people. All the way to the west, never entered the city and set up camp.

After a while, the barracks were about to be set up, and the group walked out of Chang'an City.

Hearing that Zheng Lang was coming, Lu Gongzhu came out with officials of Chang'an City to meet him.

After a few words, Lu Gong said: "Gong Zheng, Mu Zheng has also arrived in Chang'an City. ”

Mu Zheng did not charge, but it was equivalent to a charge, and he was very reluctant in his heart, and he did not arrive in Chang'an City until today.

"Take me to see it."

"Okay."

When he came to the city, Mu Zheng was resting, and when he heard that Zheng Lang was coming, he didn't dare to slack off and got up to greet him.

"No need to be polite, let's go in."

The guest and host sat down, and Mu Zheng asked resentfully: "Zheng Gong is famous all over the world, I don't understand." Mu Zheng is not guilty. Why did China cut me? ”

This problem is not only entangled in future generations. At this time, it is also entangled, and the grievances between the two countries are really difficult to explain, but the essence is very simple, if the Song Dynasty declines. Tibet is still strong, and it will definitely expand its sphere of influence to the east, and the story of the late Tang Dynasty will be staged again. If the Song Dynasty restores the strong military force of the Han and Tang dynasties, it is not only a military general. The scholars will also become more and more radical, not only Hehuang, Xixia and Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, that is, Liaodong in the north, Dali in the south, and it is also possible that the story of the Tang Dynasty and the Han Dynasty may also be staged.

This essence is difficult to say.

Zheng Lang said: "Mu Zheng, your father has a tacit relationship with me, and he has also learned from you and turned to Western Xia. However, when the court soldiers pointed out Wu Chuan, your father immediately surrendered to the court. However, when I recruited the army to conquer the military city of Wusheng, you repeatedly sent troops to block it, and continued to collude with the Western Xia? I don't know each other! ”

Mu Zheng still has a purpose, but Zheng Lang did not appease, on the contrary, his voice was violent. If it is appeased, when it comes to the court, I don't know how many ministers will be appeased. There's no need for that.

Mu Zheng was speechless, it is true that Mu Zheng is a little unacquainted, to be precise, the surrounding area of Wusheng Military City belongs to the sphere of influence of the Yu Longke brothers, but Yu Longke fell to the Song Dynasty, and the blind medicine fell to Mu Zheng, but at least it does not belong to the direct jurisdiction of Mu Zheng.

There is also a reason to send troops.

"Your father's identity is more noble than yours, and he turned to Western Xia before, and my dynasty did not send envoys to go, but some border generals sent some generals to contact your father, although they did not return to our dynasty, but your father has always been very polite to those generals, but what about you? I have sent a messenger to your majesty to appease you, and your attitude is even more arrogant than that of your grandfather. The King's Messenger represents a nation, and if you don't respect the Messenger and have no power to protect yourself, you will not be destroyed. ”

If you want to be arrogant, you can at least have the power of the Khitan, not in Western Xia, it's not immortal, it's just that the time has not come.

"It's understandable that you're leaning towards Western Xia, you're surviving in the cracks, and you can understand both ends of the first rat. But you have to have your father's ability to keep the foundation in the cracks, in order to support you to keep this foundation, although our dynasty did not send soldiers, but also sent a large amount of money and weapons to support, but you did not hold it, first lost the city of Agan and the valley of the shrine, and then lost the city of the Western envoy, this is not enough, under the entrustment of you and the Western Xia, the Zhufan west of Qinzhou repeatedly invaded the boundary of Qinzhou, intending to cooperate with the Western Xia to spread the power to the south. You can say that you use the Western Xia as your barrier, but as soon as the ancient Wei City is broken, there will be a large number of Qiang people to the south, if you let the Western Xia get those Qiang people, my northwest foundation will be shaken, you want to shake the foundation of my dynasty, and you will wait for when! ”

The last reason was not even mentioned by Wang Shaoping Rongce.

Most of the southern part of Xizhou is inhabited by the Qiang people. In the past, when they were in the hands of the Song Dynasty, they cooperated tacitly with the Song Dynasty and did not really rule, allowing them to form a buffer zone. But will Xixia do this? Moreover, the Qiang people are different from the Tubo people, especially the large Qiang people from Minjie to the west of Jiuzhaigou, they have a severing relationship with the party in terms of blood, and once the power of the Tangut people expands here, they will quickly organize an army.

The Qiang people were called two-faced Qiang in the Tang Dynasty, but their individual combat ability was not weaker than that of the Tubo people.

It's just that they don't have a strong king leader, so their strength is weak.

These three reasons are enough.

Zheng Lang said again: "Don't ask why the imperial court will send troops, you can reflect on it yourself, but our court is still very generous." Your Majesty announced that you have entered Beijing, not to detain you, but to talk to you, not for you, but for the future of thousands of Hexi people. ”

That's what it is.

Hearing this, the eyes of several guards around Mu Zheng were a little moved.

Zheng Lang said again: "Also, don't rub it off on the road, go and return quickly, in two months, there will be a meeting in Guwei City, and one hundred and eight candidates will be decided." If you continue to stall on the road, when you come back, you will completely lose your status in Rivers State! ”

PS: It turns out that there are three volumes behind Xiaozhongshan, and it's too long to write, and I want to compress it into one volume, with many transitions of plot sections, plus I want to outline a new book, and then desperately get stuck ...... Some readers reacted that there was no climax, which is precisely the reason why the transition was too fast. My head hurts, not because I'm tired, but because I'm tired and have a splitting headache. So I was presumptuous for a few days, completely relaxed, and from today onwards, chapter by chapter, no matter how long. I'm going to pass on a small update today, and I'll officially resume the update tomorrow. Finally, I say sorry to all the readers who support me, and if you forgive me, I should let Lao Wu have a few days of long vacation. (To be continued.) )
