Zhao Xun looked at the city.

The city is very chaotic at this time, Anyuan City is very small, if it weren't for Zheng Lang's preparation, a little expansion, and some households in the original southeast city gate were re-encircled in an outer city and encircled in, then Anyuan City would be piled up at this moment.

In addition, the sudden arrival of the Jiaozhi army, the people were worried and afraid, and people shouted pigs and children cried, and it was a mess.

He called a commander: "Captain Liu, the city will be handed over to you first." ”

After saying that, when you get out of the city, you must immediately settle the people, and the native soldiers and the officials who maintain order can be transferred out in order to form some combat effectiveness, otherwise there are only about 300 soldiers in the city at this moment, and it will be very difficult to defend the city.

took Zhang Zhixian and quickly pacified the people.

Tens of thousands of people, unable to appease, Zhao Xun shouted: "Use the servants to forcibly open the people and settle down." ”

had to use brutal means, otherwise so many people, so many livestock, let Zhao Xun drink and destroy his throat, he couldn't hear clearly, but the Jiaozhi people were gradually approaching.

A group of officials and the native soldiers who gradually drew out drove the people, and finally the people were successively distributed in various squares in the city, but it was still very chaotic, but the road gave way, and all the native soldiers were drawn out. Barely enough nearly four or five hundred soldiers, manpower is still not enough.

Zhao Xun took out the bag that Zheng Lang gave him from his arms, and sent troops to Jiaozhi, which was already known by Zheng Lang. Jiaozhi is a small country, and if it wants to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, it must requisition troops nationwide. To mobilize the water army, it is also necessary to requisition large ships throughout the country.

Before the Jiaozhi army was dispatched, the people could not be arranged in the city, which would cause great chaos, and even some people complained and went out of the city without permission, causing unnecessary sacrifices. Property can be lost, but the people must not suffer serious casualties, because that will cause the people to fear the two provinces, which is not conducive to the development of the two provinces. War is not the main means. It's just a matter of playing a peaceful sky. The development of the two Guangxi is the main theme.

Zheng Lang instructed Zhao Xun again, if there are many enemies coming, there are not many of them. You don't have to dismantle it.

It is unknown how many enemies came, but there were nearly 100 enemy ships coming to Anyuan City, and there would be no less, so Zhao Xun dismantled the bag.

looked at it and said to Zhang Zhixian: "Go and gather the heads of the senior households and the owners of the village." ”

"Oh," Zhang Zhixian took the official down for a while. More than 100 senior household chiefs brought with the owners of the village.

Zhao Xun said: "The enemy is coming, are you afraid?" ”

Some answered not afraid, and some did not. Most of the people who answered were local owners. Zhao Xun tried his best this time, one for himself and the other to repay Zheng Lang's trust. He was very grateful to Zheng Lang, but what he didn't know was that if there was no Zheng Lang, he who had a great future would also lose in the battle of Dingchuan Village and be captured in Western Xia. No more news from him. I didn't know the strength of these local barbarians, and twenty years later, there were only 17,000 households in the two prefectures of Qinlian. In fact, there are more than that, but there are only more than 20,000 households. It was more than 20,000 households, under the leadership of a small number of Han landlords and the owners of the villages, that Shengsheng defeated the 20,000 regular troops of Jiaozhi who invaded from the sea, so that Jiaozhi did not dare to enter Ruxi Village from Sumao Prefecture and then enter Qinzhou from Ruxi Village along the seashore, forcing the main force to be placed in the Yongzhou area.

They cooperated with Zheng Lang's work, and they were somewhat afraid of the army of the imperial court, plus Zheng Lang's various methods of appeasement that won the hearts of the people. and a bright prospect, but it is very strong in the bones.

This also verifies Zheng Lang's words, the more backward the off-road barbarian, such as giving birth to a Jurchen. The poorer you are, the more wild and fierce you are, if some are savage.

Zhao Xun said again: "Zheng Xianggong has long been prepared for the invasion of the Jiaozhi people. Including Anyuan City. If you are not afraid, then it will be easy. Now I will leave you with two things, the first is to cooperate with the government to arrange the people of the various households under your jurisdiction, so that you can't make enemies in the future, and you will be in chaos. Secondly, the warriors were dispatched, Zheng Xianggong had prepared sufficient weapons and armor in the county treasury, and all the warriors who went to the city to defend the city were rewarded with two pieces of cloth, five coins, and five stones of grain. Killing one enemy will be rewarded five times, killing two enemies will be rewarded tenfold, and so on. But you remember that even though it is a reward, it is your own home and your family that are guarded. ”

Very generous rewards.

"Oh," almost all the owners and owners of the village replied happily and loudly. After hesitating for a moment, some of the elders who had been pushed out by the migrants also answered.

The heads of the various senior households retreated one after another, Zhao Xun took the officials to open the county treasury, fully prepared, there was a lot of food, and a large number of bows and arrows, in fact, some barbarians also had bows and arrows in their own hands, but they were not as sharp as the bows and arrows made by the imperial court. A large number of spears, cost-saving, made of earth and wood, sharpened the wood, and the spear head was equipped with an iron tip, and it became a simple spear, which was divided into two kinds: long spear and short spear, the short spear was thrown, and the spear was used to stab the enemy soldiers who climbed the city. A large number of armor, not step armor, there is no way, the funds are tight, so I have to secretly make a lot of rattan armor in advance for protection and save costs.

After a while, the heads of the various senior households and the owners of the village gathered with young adults, and Zhao Xun ordered people to distribute weapons and armor.

The fleet of ships outside the city sailed to the docks one by one, and groups of enemies came down from the large and small ships, and one of the generals looked up at the city, and instead of attacking immediately, he asked the soldiers to start camping, and removed the weapons and siege equipment from the ships.

Strategically it is possible to flout Cochin, but tactically it must be cautious. The army of Jiaozhi is very different from the miscellaneous army of Nong Zhigao, the combat effectiveness is stronger, and it will also attack the city, and once forcibly captured the Buddha Oath City, and captured the palace maids and concubines of the harem of the city to Huilong City. Zhao Xun and Zhou Xin saw a pair of tall siege ladders carrying down the boat at the head of the city, and there were some worries on their faces, these siege ladders were not the cloud ladders of the Song Dynasty, but they would cause great pressure on Anyuan City.

The sun slowly set down the mountain, and the Jiaozhi people sang and danced in the camp, thinking that Anyuan City was within reach.

Zhao Xun took advantage of this rare light to arrange militia troops in the city and do some simple teaching, although many militiamen took up arms, especially some Han households who migrated over, they couldn't even use bows and arrows, so they could only temporarily hold on to their feet to teach them.

The night passed, and the next day the Jiaozhi army set aside the camp, carried the siege ladder, held the rattan shield, bow and arrow, and approached Anyuan City.

The battle to defend Anyuan City and Lianzhou City began.

……

Zheng Lang was in Acacia at this time.

Not only is he in Acacia, Yue'er is also in Acacia, Yu Jing, Cheng Shimeng, Yan Du, and Cai Ting came to Acacia together.

The difficulty of the spiritual canal is still in Zheng Lang's imagination. In the process of presiding over the maintenance of the Lingqu, Zheng Lang couldn't help but feel the strength of the ancients again. I thought of the other two projects of the Qin Dynasty, one of which was Dujiangyan. It has been used to future generations and continues to play a huge role. Its lifespan will be extended, and it is possible that it will continue to play for 1,500 years, 2,000 years. And even longer. A Zhengguo Canal, Zhenglang Canal is unrecognizable, but the Sanbai Canal was also built on the basis of Zhengguo Canal. If it were not for the deterioration of the water and soil in Shaanxi and the gradual transformation into a high slope of loess, its life would not be short. Finally, there is this spiritual channel.

However, it is still underestimated Acacia.

In Zheng Lang's thoughts, he had a lot of gunpowder, and he threw it down at any cost. The project should be completed soon.

In fact, some stubborn stones were more difficult to excavate than he imagined.

At its peak, more than 20,000 people were employed, and it began in early October, but it was not completed in March this year, so it had to leave some of the family's surplus strength to continue to stay on the Acacia Dai and dig the tail project.

As for the gunpowder used, it is impossible to calculate, and the large-scale development of Liangguang has also led to a large increase in the use of sulfur. Last year alone, more than 2 million catties of sulfur were imported from the Ryukyus, instead of the original 500,000 catties. The project is huge. Spending is also skyrocketing.

In fact, Liang Shi's allocation of money was not intended to make things difficult for Zheng Lang, but also carefully calculated.

First, there is grain on Guangnan East Road, which can save millions of yuan in costs, and second, last year, the income of Guangnan East Road also increased by three to four million yuan, although more than 22 million yuan was given, both inside and outside, plus the income from the deed shares of the sleeping prison and the two sugar supervisors, it is equivalent to giving 30 million yuan.

Considering that the development scale of Guangnan West Road is not as large as that of Guangnan East Road, this money is enough for Zheng Lang to squander.

It was this acacia that was only more than 30 miles long, but it gave Zheng Lang a headache. I had to go to the court again and again, and finally allocated another 4 million yuan to barely maintain the development costs. In fact, it is not much less than the cost used on Quang Nam East Road.

Standing on the steep door, Yu Jing was full of emotion and said: "It's not a lovesick dai, but a golden dai." ”

Calculate its usage. Even a layer of gold is enough.

Zheng Lang also smiled bitterly.

He was embarrassed to spend the money.

Yu Jing said again: "If you have this money, can you manage Sanmenxia?" ”

It is not ironic, in the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan, when the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was at its peak, Li Qiwu, the Taishou of Shaanxi County, saw the suffering of labor in Sanmenxia, many boats sank, and the people drowned, so he tried to dig a new river on the Renmen Peninsula. If the new river is completed, the water potential of Sanmen is still very fast, but the ships will not hit the pillar directly when they move from the new river, and the shipwreck will be reduced by half. With this in mind, thousands of people were organized to dig a new river with a length of more than 300 meters and a depth of 6 meters each. However, after the river is completed, the Yellow River is large, the canal is turbulent, and the boats are more dangerous.

Today, the remnants of this newly opened river are still there, but most of them have been abandoned by boatmen.

But there is no way, if it is excavated deeper and wider, for example, three zhang deep, four zhang, five zhang, wide and the same, will this happen?

The danger of the three gates is still there, but the ship does not need to pass through the human gate, and there will be no risk of hitting the pillar if it does not pass through the human gate, which will also be of great help to the Cao Yun of the Song Dynasty. After all, although Shaanxi is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, due to the harm of Western Xia, it is also a heavy side matter.

"That's enough. But wait. ”

"Wait?" Yu Jinghu asked suspiciously, although he is from Liangguang and knows the importance of Shaanxi, compared to Liangguang, Shaanxi is more important.

"It won't be too long, I'm waiting for the new gunpowder, once it has energy and is cheap, it can be expanded and the new river can be built." Zheng Lang paused and said: "Hugh wants to underestimate Acacia Dai and underestimate Liangguang." ”

Shaanxi only has military value, Xixia is not taken down, once the Xixia is taken, after losing this military value, the role of Sanmenqu is far less than Acacia. It's not that Shaanxi is bad, on the contrary, Shaanxi Road is one of the relatively mature areas developed in the Song Dynasty. But it has little to do with the Song Dynasty, but the previous dynasty laid a solid foundation.

It is precisely because of overdevelopment that Shaanxi must do something to protect it, otherwise the population will swell, which will accelerate the environmental degradation of the region.

In Zheng Lang's heart, the best territory of the Song Dynasty in the future is still Xiangshui, followed by Guangzhou, with huge room for growth.

Walking down the steep door, an old man was carrying a stone, a little heavy, and almost fell to the ground.

Zheng Lang walked over and held him up.

The old man was flattered and said, "Thank you to Zheng Xianggong." ”

"Don't use it, old man. Rest for a while. "Let the guards carry the stone to the shore instead of the old man, and help the old man to rest by the roadside.

He didn't stay long, he naturally left and looked ahead.

Cheng Shimeng said to Yan Du: "If Chen Xianggong has Zheng Xianggong's heart. There will be no impeachment this spring. ”

refers to the case of the handmaid of Chen Zhizhong's family.

Previously, Chen Zhongyue, the manager of Guangzhou, joined the army and died by mistake, and Wei Qian moved to the capital to picket the prison because of his merits, and replaced the post of Guangzhou governor with Liu Xiang. Zheng Lang did not reject this, although Liu Xiang was greedy for alcohol, he was clear in power and understood water conservancy, and he was better than Wei Qian in some aspects. Because Chen Zhongyue used to be his subordinate. Wei Qian thought that the covenant was a public crime, and it was only a misjudgment and should be redeemed. Zhao Zhen said to Zhang Kuo of the trial court that the dead cannot be resurrected, although the jailer (referring to Chen Zhongyue) is temporarily abolished, it will be restored to the official one day, but it is impossible to punish him heavily.

Although the edict is forgiven, it is not allowed to be used.

That's how important human life is. People cannot be resurrected after death, the heavens and the earth are big, and human life is the greatest. These two sentences are of a similar nature.

But not long after, there was a case that made Zhao Zhen very difficult, Chen Zhizhong's torture and murder of the maidservant.

Liang Shi fell like that, Chen Zhizhong's family had an accident, a servant girl died, unnatural death, homicide, Kaifeng Mansion intervened in the investigation, and the results of the investigation developed that this handmaid named Ying'er was covered with bruises and had no skin. It was clearly beaten to death.

However, Chen Zhizhong is a dignified prime minister and half of Zhao Zhen's teacher, and the officials of Kaifeng Mansion are a little hesitant, so the judgment is vague, resulting in two theories, one is that Chen Zhizhong personally beat Ying'er to death. The second is that Chen Zhizhong's favorite concubine beat Ying'er to death.

But there is a rumor in the fang, Ying'er is just a thirteen-year-old girl, I don't know what mistakes have been made, under the instigation of Chen Zhizhong's favorite concubine Zhang, Chen Zhizhong took off Ying'er's clothes, beat and pumped, in the cold winter, after the beating, he was locked in a dark room, and he was injured and frozen, and Ying'er died. There is more than one Ying'er, in the past, another maid named Begonia was also beaten to death in Chen Zhizhong's house, but it did not alarm Kaifeng Mansion, and there was a maid who did not know the name because she made a small mistake and cut her hair.

That's the big deal.

Many officials were not satisfied, and first gave Cui Yi an edict to treat the case of Chen Zhizhong's favored concubine and killing the maid, Cui Yi tried it, and concluded that Chen Zhizhong was flogged to death because of Ying'er's disrespect, and it was not the concubine's intention to kill the maid.

Zhao Zhen is very happy, even if Chen Zhizhong is dismissed, he can't be convicted of deliberately killing a maid, then Chen Zhizhong will never make a comeback. You can stop it, but you can't use this crime, even if it is Chen Zhizhong's favorite concubine who kills the maid.

But Zhao Zhen was also a little negligent, and the antagonistic relationship between Yanchen and Zaizhi.

Almost every minister is honored to be the prime minister, Zhao Luan came, and said that the minister said that Chen Zhizhong did not learn and did not know, reversed measures, quoted evil people, recruited Yan Bu Zhu, personal vendettas, rejected goodness, was very reckless, and had a bad reputation. I am afraid that His Majesty still thinks that the words of his ministers are false, and he has not been saved so far. If the minister does not give one or two general examples, and understands the rules, he is responsible for the investigation of His Majesty's eyes and ears, and he will be guilty of widowhood and dereliction of duty, and the minister cannot bear to do it.

began to count down Chen Zhizhong's faults.

Last spring, the system of etiquette and law was inappropriate (referring to Chen Zhizhong's reading of the book of mourning regardless of the status of the prime minister), corrupting the national system, but asking for sycophancy, making you happy, so that he could give him more glory and wealth.

Zhao Zhen: ......

Hanlin has always been customized, but Chen Zhizhong was foolish and used it secretly, so that the number of Hanlin bachelors reached seven. These two alone can remove Chen Zhizhong.

Chen Zhizhong rewarded and punished in hand, and acted rashly, if Liu Xiang was not at fault, but he was suddenly transferred from Jiangning Mansion to the land of smoke miasma in Guangzhou, if he was degraded because of his mistake and still let him carry the name of Longtu Pavilion Straight Bachelor, it is inexplicable. Wu Chong and Zhen Zhenqing exposed the text of the Rite Academy, so the two of them lowered the military base, and this Chen Zhizhong Miao Er. The second ground for recall.

The pavilion is clean and official, and it is not allowed to be delicate. Chen Zhizhong is a private party, such as Cui Yi granted Zhengzhou in the matter, so Cui Yi ruled the prison in Zhizhong, and rewarded him for his personal favor according to the violation. Chen Zhizhong once sent a concubine to Zhou Yu's house, and then Zhou Yu summoned the pavilion. This is the third reason for the dismissal of Chen Zhizhong.

Holding a door, not waiting for a handsome file, a gift, the disciples of Miao Da, Liu You, Liu Xisuo, and the people who pre-sit Puyuan, Li Ning, and Cheng Weixiang, and the weight of the stage, actually use divination to measure catastrophes, is there such a way to govern the country? This striker four.

Shao Bizhi Changzhou Day, wrongly sentenced people to prison. After feeling that he was wronged, he immediately Hao You, this is the beauty of a gentleman who knows his mistakes, and Chen Zhizhong must be evil. He must be dismissed as the official of Kaifeng Mansion and demoted to the post of supervisor of Shao Wujun. Shi Minying, the common people of Tingzhou, slandered the envoy for committing stolen goods, and put the minister's staff on his back with the Guangnan prison city, and the minister sued Xue, only to know that it was a vain, but only Shi Minying sent a punishment. With Shao Bibi's Minying, the crimes committed by Minying are serious and the crimes judged are light. Shao will be guilty of a light crime but a serious crime, and this execution is also a dance method, and it is advisable to remove the fifth.

Lu Jingchu, Ma Zun, and Wu Zhongfu played Liang Shi, both offended, out of Zhengzhou, Lu Jingchu's junior generation followed and drove away, and there were words about the future and me. Feng Jing said that Wu Chong, Ju Zhenqing, and Diao Yue should not be deposed with innocence, and they were sent out of the door. He also fell into Beijing to repair the living note, so that the court had a notorious reputation for being guilty of loyalty and refusal to admonish, and this was also jealous of the virtuous. Waiver six.

The female slave Ying'er was only thirteen years old, and she was beaten and flogged hard, and she listened to the words of the concubine A Zhang, and she was naked in winter, tied her wrists, and deprived her of food and drink, so that she died. There is also Begonia, who died because of Ah Zhang's decisive beating, and another female envoy, who committed suicide with her hair. It's only in January. The third person who committed the cruel incident, the resentment before and after, wanted to come more, and the cruel abuse in this obsession should be dismissed seven.

Chen Zhizhong's curtain is thin and ugly, the door is confused, and he indulges people. Trust the officials, the noble family is rich, but the in-laws are like passers-by, although they are poor and embarrassed, they do not give a penny, and they should be dismissed in this obsession.

Zhao Zhen was speechless, Zhao Shao must be reinstated, Zhigao Youjun, Wu Chong, Ju Zhenqing, Diao Yue, Lu Jingchu, Ma Zun were recalled, and Feng Jing and Wu Zhongfu were also reinstated.

Discussing Chen Zhizhong again, Fan Zhen of the Zhiyuan made a move, and he may have a good personal relationship with Chen Zhizhong, maybe the Zhiyuan and the Yushitai have always been at odds, and they began to pinch Zhao Luan. It is said that the imperial history is in charge of the private affairs of its ministers, and it is inappropriate to give up the responsibility and detail. It should be announced in the middle of the reign and the imperial history with the recital of the minister, so that the people of the world will know that His Majesty will retire from the minister, and will not use his family affairs but his ministry, and then he will not dare to sympathize with his family affairs and devote himself to His Majesty's ministry. When the minister heard the performance, he said that the female envoy had done it, and the staff was killed by the wind, while the foreign council said that Ah Zhang was killed. After thinking about it again, he sent Ah Zhang to prison and asked her to admit that she was not in command of the central government, and the case could be closed if you had a division. If you let the ruling center testify, it is to send the prime minister to prison for a servant, and the national body seems to be inconvenient, so I dare not be the same.

Zhao Luan was angry, and he said, the minister has recently played the crime of Prime Minister Chen Zhizhong, and the court has not yet judged it, so he heard that Fan Zhen of the Zhiyuan was rescued indiscriminately, what is the reason.

The two major Yanchen institutions are fighting again.

In the past, it was Ouyang Xiu against Wang Gongchen, and the second time was Bao Zheng against Wang Juzheng, and this was the third big fight.

quarreled and quarreled, as for the party Chen Zhizhong himself, he was gradually forgotten by the two major Yanchen institutions.

This quarrel made the case of Chen Zhizhong's murder of a maid sensation throughout the country, and there was no need to report it to the palace, and the case in the capital was heard in the south.

But when the two major Yanchen institutions quarreled, Zhao Zhen issued a decree to let Fu Bi be the envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Court and merge the state. In fact, Zhao Zhen is helpless, he doesn't need Chen Zhizhong as the prime minister, so who will be the prime minister? Zheng Lang can't get out of the way in the south, can he use Pang Ji, or use Jia Changchao, so Zheng Lang is desperate in the south, what does he think when he hears that Jia Changchao is the prime minister?

So first decentralize Fu Bi, look at Fu Bi's mentality, if it is good, replace Chen Zhizhong with Fu Bi.

As Fan Zhen said, the three maids are not human beings, they are dead in vain, why Zheng Lang desperately banned the slave trade in the south, why did he arrest slaves, and only took slaves for five years and gave some treatment, but he was impeached by many ministers.

It's all people.

Chen Zhizhong did something wrong this time.

Zhao Zhen concluded that he was wrong, but he couldn't let Chen Zhizhong wear this charge and decentralize, so the case continued to stalemate.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Zheng Lang turned his head and said: "If something similar happened to someone in my family, I would have thrown my black-winged hat in Zhongshu a long time ago, resigned and went home, and what face would I have to continue to stay in Zhongshu." ”

Yandu stuck out his tongue.

However, Zheng Lang did not interfere in this matter, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and soon a wicked man will come to the court and torture Chen Zhizhong.

Suddenly, a group of fast horses galloped over, the horses rushed to the front, let Zheng Su stop, the people on the horse turned over and dismounted, panting and said: "Zheng Xianggong, the big thing is not good, Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi has invaded." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
