Zhang Kang was also suspicious, looking up at Zheng Lang, Zheng Lang said slowly: "By next spring, the development of Liangguang will be over, and the remaining things will only be handed over to local officials to govern, the population will increase, and the people will want to do it. Therefore, if they let them be impeached, it is better for me to take the initiative to ask to leave Liangguang and go to Liangjing. However, Jiaozhi was always restless, and I was worried that after I left, there would be no competent officials to preside over it, and in a hurry, Jiaozhi invaded with the army of a country, and the two Guangxi suffered heavy losses, and the people fled in fear. So the hard work of the past two years, tens of millions of dollars is equivalent to a waste of money. ”

Don't think that this country is small, and the ambition is incredible.

Twenty years ago, Chen Mingzong once led an army to attack Qianzhou, and the accompanying Thanh Hoa sent Ruan Zhongyan to engrave a monument in Nghe An Mo Cliff, saying that he was ordered by heaven to die in the middle of summer, and he was not surrendered at home and abroad. But in the face of these palm-sized words, none of the ministers of the Song Dynasty saw it.

And the means are tyrannical, ten years ago, Li Dezheng drove his own expedition, invaded the city in the south, beheaded 30,000, and the corpses accumulated in the wilderness. But it was not the most evil, the crime was committed against the people of the Song Dynasty. Twenty-six years ago, Li Gongyun's invasion, of course, the Jiaozhi people did not say that the emperor was personally conquered, but said that the barbarian invasion beheaded and slaughtered nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. Several other invasions also caused heavy casualties to the people in the north of the Song Dynasty, and many times plundered the border people and transported them to Vietnam as slaves.

It's not the most vicious, if you don't take precautions, twenty years later, Jiaozhi will let Li Changjie lead an army of 200,000 to invade Liangguang and slaughter the people of several states, and there will be millions of floating corpses in history. There were not a million, but hundreds of thousands of people were slaughtered by Jiaozhi.

After the Song Dynasty, the country has been restless, and has invaded China many times, and Emperor Zhu Di could not bear it anymore and directly destroyed the country. But because of the tropical rainforest climate, and malaria is rampant. The Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops again.

But this country has never been honest.

If you don't take precautions and let Jiaozhi hit Liangguang, it will be a huge tragedy.

It cannot be said that the country is small. After all, it is a country, and it may not send 200,000 troops, but it is still possible to send 108,000 troops. Go on your own. With the strength of Liangguang, coupled with the leaderlessness of the dragons, it will inevitably make Jiaozhi drive straight in.

Therefore, Zheng Lang intends to tempt Jiaozhi to start a war, but the rhythm must be controlled in his own hands.

Zhang Kang thought for a while and said, "Let me try it." ”

Zhang Kang presided over the reception, and deliberately let Chen Zhi and Wu Er watch Song Jun. Zheng Lang wants to delay time, he can't let Jiaozhi have a seizure this year, and if he wants to make the two of them have concerns in their hearts and further plan and arrange, then this year will be delayed.

Then he answered truthfully about some water conservancy plans of the two Guangzhous. Let them worry heavier and motivate Jiaozhi to send troops.

Eventually, when it comes to the territory, Chen Nim follows the line of the territory divided by Nong Zhigao and Jiaozhi, that is, the line between the Pengjiang River (the upper reaches of the Zuojiang River) and the line from Mafushan to Kachuan Luoluodong. The north is the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the south is the territory of Jiaozhi. According to the later territorial line, most of the areas in Vietnam, including Xiping Prefecture, Lushan Prefecture and Quang Yuan Prefecture, all belonged to the Song Dynasty. But in that case, one-third of Guangyuan Prefecture and Qiyuan Prefecture and Menzhou were divided into Jiaozhi. It turned out that these three states were all areas under the constraints of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang does not have a strong desire to expand the territory. It was not affected by the borders of later generations. In the Song Dynasty, the border of the Song Dynasty was used as the standard. It's not from the Song Dynasty, I don't want to expand, it's from the Song Dynasty, and I won't let an inch of land. Therefore, Zheng Lang would not agree to the condition of Jiaozhi.

Hearing Chen Zhi's request, Zhang Kang directly handed them the information handed to him by Zheng Lang, and let the two of them see it before knocking back their toes.

Then he took the soldiers to the south bank of the Pengjiang River and began training.

Do some provocative activities to give the main battle faction of Jiaozhi the upper hand.

Whether it can succeed is unknown, and Zheng Lang did not report to the imperial court.

The Western Xia sent envoys to the Khitan to ask for surrender, and this surrender was a gesture. The war was fought to this point, and the national strength of Western Xia could not bear it. The Khitans were even more miserable, so that the Western Xia once included the vast area of Northern Zhubu under its name, although in less than two years, the Khitans were recaptured again. Xixia has a lining and a face, and no Tibetan brothers and sisters can give an explanation to the people. Therefore, send people to surrender, and we will stop fighting, and be your Khitan courtiers' subordinates.

Liao Xingzong was furious and said to the envoy, it is okay to surrender, let the brothers and sisters of Wuzang come to our capital, let the Lang Zuo wild seed rush to the throne, and support Brother Ning Ling as the king of Western Xia.

That's impossible.

However, the Khitan was greatly damaged and was unable to fight against the Western Xia, and the two countries were in a stalemate.

As a result, the border of the Song Dynasty was in a rare and precious time of peace.

In the first year of peace, there was no war in several countries, the wind and rain were smooth, and the country was peaceful and peaceful.

But in May, there was a demonic incident, the deputy commander of the Ma Army, Zhang Maoshi's mother had been a nurse to mourn the prince (Zhao Zhen's brother, died at the age of nine), when Zhang Maoshi was young, Song Zhenzong said to Zhang Jingzong: "This son looks thick, and you look at it." ”

However, in May, when Zhang Maoshi was riding a horse in the capital, a Kaifeng common man stopped his horse, saying that Zhang Maoshi was actually Song Zhenzong's own son. Zhang Maoshi was so frightened that he trembled and arrested him to Kaifeng Mansion, and after investigation, this person was a neurotic. But Zhao Zhen did not re-investigate, and Zhang Mao was really the governor of Luzhou, and this person sat in Douzhou Prison.

The execution is very light, but this neuropathy has provoked the nerves of many ministers, and they all think of a question, Zhao Zhen is in his forties and has no children under his knees, what will the empire do in the future?

But let another one divert the gaze. First of all, when the imperial history Wu Zhongfu impeached Liang Shi for treachery, Zhao Zhen asked: "Near Ma Zun also has an impeachment, saying that the Tang Dynasty has been in chaos since Tianbao, why is it?" ”

Wu Zhongfu said: "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Jiuling were appointed as prime ministers, so that the country was peaceful. and Li Linfu used things, the discipline was bad, and the chaos began here. Although the blessing lies in the master, the key to the chaos lies in the auxiliary ministers. ”

Zhao Zhen said a very vague sentence: "Every time I use ministers, I don't want to take public opinion, but it is not easy to know the strengths and weaknesses of people." ”

Speaking of this, he thought of Liang Shi.

Why did you agree that Liang Shi would go out as an official, if he was an upright gentleman, such as Fu Bi, Wang Yaochen and other ministers to make strong orders, it would be reasonable. But is Liang Shi? Does Liang Shi have the qualifications to say such righteous and awe-inspiring words?

When Liang Shi was in the state, he met a white peony leader. Invited to seek pleasure, but the prostitute refused, so he forcibly forced him to come to the official residence and detained the prostitute for several days. When he went to serve in the state, he openly coerced prostitutes all the way to his post. He thought of the several reports handed over by Chen Zhizhong, talking about what Liang Shi had done in Hangzhou, and Sun Wei in order to make money. In many places, he was half an official and half a businessman, and he came to Hangzhou to personally discuss the yarn business with a businessman surnamed Xiao, and the surname Xiao did not know his identity. The asking price is unreasonable. Sun Wei held a grudge and checked the person's accounts in the name of tax evasion. The person was sent to another state, and all the family property was confiscated.

Greedy for money and lustful like this.

I reuse Sun Wei, first, Sun Wei has merit, and second, Sun Wei has talent, abandoning the small and taking the big.

He just fought for some nicknames for a dead beloved woman, but Sun Wei ignored his own grace, and actually threw away the mourning book despite the thousands of ministers and relatives of Manzhan, who is the emperor? But Chen Zhizhong's small report, Zhao Zhen didn't like it either.

Wu Zhongfu didn't understand. I don't know why Zhao Zhen said this, did he think that Liang Shi was good, and he didn't see Liang Shi's strengths, or did he still have to listen to the public opinion and ask Liang Shi if he could serve as prime minister?

Went down in a daze.

But Wu Zhongfu's impeachment. Zhao Zhen began to seriously ponder the reason for Liang Shi's ascension. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What a plan." ”

came up with Liang Shi's magic, and Liang Shi was sad.

Zhao Zhen began to acquiesce at Yanchen's impeachment of Liang Shi, Yanchen and Zaizhi are always two opposing groups, and there is no mistake that Yanchen likes to find trouble with the prime minister, and he has not seen Liang Shi for a long time. Ma Zun and others began to impeach Liang Shi for being treacherous, corrupt, favoritism, and his sons, so it was not appropriate to stay in a position for a long time. Liang Shi's seat has not yet been hot, and Zhao Zhen is allowed to refute it with Ma Zun.

Ma Zunshu said that Guanglu Shaoqing sent the teacher to the teacher, and Zhang Ke, the transfer envoy to the south, was once abandoned by sitting on stolen goods, and Liang Shi ignored the poor morality of the two ministers and awarded him Zuo Cao Langzhong. Haomin Guo Bing, who buys and sells at home, is a bad businessman, Liang Shiju and Enze. Zhang Kui returned to Yizhou and bribed Liang Shi to get the post of deputy envoy of the third division, so Wang Kui said sharply in the Wenbei Palace, empty-handed and cold-faced, how to send it well! ”

Wouldn't it be easy to find trouble?

Don't talk about Liang Shi, even Fan Zhongyan is the prime minister, and you can find trouble with Fan Zhongyan. Are you okay, are your family okay? Are the clansmen okay? Is the recommended person okay? Are relatives alright?

In the imperial history, Cheng Sun Pan said: "Liang Shi is the prime minister, and he can't balance it evenly, and he can't discipline his children. ”

Zhao Zhen "had no choice but to do it", so he went out of Zhengzhou and took Cheng Jian as the governor to enrich the East Mansion.

But this matter is not over, Liang Shi has a good relationship with Shi Quanbin and other big eunuchs, and when he heard that the ministers were impeached, he said left and right: "The imperial history collects information at every turn to attack the prime minister, who dares to be the one in charge from now on?" ”

This is not to be a prime minister, but to be an angry little girl.

Zhao Zhen smiled and did not make a sound, not because Yanchen was impeached, but because he did not give Yanchen a chance to impeach.

Liang Shi quit the prime minister, and the servants were not convinced, and they also learned from Yanchen to collect information, and quickly found a handle. Ma Zun first advanced, Li Yuqing, the uncle of Fan Zhongyan, the salt and iron judge, and Li Shi'an, a tea merchant, owed 140,000 yuan in arrears, and he lost twice according to the law, and Li Yuqing's decision was already very light. However, Li Shi'an and the doorman Liu Zongmeng were traders, and Zongmeng and Liang Shi were related, so Liang Shi set up Li Yuqing to mention Shaanxi Prison.

But Li Shi'an and Liu Zongmeng have never actually been a trader together, let alone Liang Shi's relatives, and Ma Zun and other ministers are slanderous.

Zhao Zhen sent Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the matter, and sure enough.

In the palace of the imperial palace, the imperial history of Ma Zunzhi Xuanzhou, Lu Jingchu was sentenced to Jiangning Mansion, and the palace was to be sentenced to Qianzhou by Wu Zhongfu in the imperial history.

The three generals under him fell at once, Sun Luan was anxious, and said: "The ministers talked about Prime Minister Liang Shi yesterday, and today it is rumored that Lu Jingchu will be dismissed. If the ministers look at the decree of the court in detail, it will be the traitor who uses clever words to divert people's attention, so that the evil and the right will be reversed. Moreover, the word prestige, the power of the emperor, the ancient sages were especially cautious. Today, Liang is intimidating against personal evil, and external forces, all of which are in his hands, and the voice of resentment is boiling at home and abroad, and His Majesty does not ask. After the ministers were afraid, everything in the court was handled by the ministers, and the officials of the Taiwan admonition were silent, afraid to speak, His Majesty was deep in the ninefold, how to know. The chief of the courtier's demeanor and constitution can not warn the ministers, indulge in private favoritism, and prevent idle traitors, resulting in confusion and mishearing, and the ministers are guilty of many crimes. Beg the ministers and officials, and go to the distance to thank the world. ”

Let me go, too.

wanted to coerce Zhao Zhen to change the sentence, but he didn't report it in the book.

Liang Shi said again: The ministers and Guo Shenxi and the rest of the palace discussed the affairs of the court. Your Majesty is also tolerant of sin. Now that Liang Shi is concerned, he has made this move, which is obviously too light for those who have committed the face of the Son of Heaven, and too heavy for those who say about the prime minister. Fang Jin's territory is tens of thousands of miles, and the key to controlling chaos and safety is only a few people in power; There is blame. Taiwan officials can't speak, and they can't play, how can the court be! I hope to remember the great cause of my ancestors and pay attention to it. There is no way to make the two handles of the reward false. ”

Tired of begging to return Ma Zun and others, Hu Su also went to the book, begging to stay in Ma Zun. Not reported.

seems to be a series of turmoil caused by the inverted Liang Shi, but in fact there is a very bad omen implied in it.

Before Zhang Guifei died, did there ever happen because of the eunuch's words?

August is coming, and the development of Guangxi is about to kick off, but Zheng Lang looked at the newspaper sent by the imperial court, and was a little dazed. There is a big difference between a wise emperor and an emperor who is gradually lost.

After pondering for a long time, I changed my mind. Zhang Kang called over and said, "You select some clever spies from the army and sneak into the territory of Jiaozhi to threaten that once the development of Liangguang is successful, the number of households can increase to more than one million." I can send 500,000 warriors as soldiers, and once the two Guangxi are successfully developed, and there is food and money, I will lead 500,000 soldiers to attack Jiaozhi. ”

Originally, he wanted the scouts of the special battalion to complete this task, but Zheng Lang didn't dare, what the scouts of the special battalion did. Just to cooperate with himself, all of them must be reported to the Privy Council and Zhao Zhen. Now that the court is far from being like Pang, Zheng Lang is not very relieved about Chen Zhizhong.

Of course, this half a million is impossible. In that case, wouldn't the Song Dynasty be able to send five million soldiers? Moreover, war requires money, food, materials and weapons, and the more weapons, the greater the cost. Even if the two Guangxi are successfully developed, there are one million households, which is not as good as the Jiangnan West Road, and Hugh said that with 500,000 soldiers, 100,000 soldiers will not be able to afford to move.

But otherwise, Jiaozhi may not send troops to the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Xin asked worriedly: "Zheng Xianggong, is there a good plan?" ”

Liangguang, including Zhang Qi's side, can only draw out a total of 20,000 or 30,000 troops, or they are native soldiers who have no combat effectiveness, but they may draw out 100,000 troops from Jiaozhi. This battle will be very disadvantageous.

Zheng Lang smiled and said, "Do you remember what Di Qing said before leaving, how did the Tang Dynasty wipe out Goryeo?" ”

"Zheng Xianggong, I know, but the Tang army has many generals, and it took three expeditions to Goryeo to succeed."

"General Di didn't mean that, if you think about it again, the Tang army used a means of transport when attacking Goryeo. This means of transport is more developed in our dynasty, but it has been used in several battles, and it has only been used by Taizu in the time, and it has not been used in other battles......"

Not only did he not use it, but Guo Kui was a northerner, and he didn't use it when he was asking for Jiaozhi.

"Yes......"

"Zhou appeased, just know, this matter must not be leaked to the outside world, if it is used well, it will be a miracle next spring."

"Why spring?"

"From the spread of rumors, to the rise, there must be a period of time, autumn comes, the sky is high and cool, and then winter is coming, although we are in charge of Guangxi water conservancy, there are many affairs, and it is easy to attack it unprepared, but these people are on the construction site, can gather at any time. In winter, the miasma is not heavy, and the weather is only warm, which is beneficial to our army. Therefore, they will not send troops, and if they want to send troops, they must send troops at the end of February, and the people will be scattered everywhere to officially produce spring ploughing, and it is not easy to gather. However, many of the tribes of Cochin are still slash-and-burn, which has little impact, and the miasma is rising, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, so it is beneficial to them. ”

"Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"It's because it's not good for us that they take it lightly."

"What if they don't be fooled?"

"Di Qing is gone, they don't worry anymore. If the spring and summer are not attacked, in June and July, the grain will be gradually harvested, and the people will be at ease, and the people will want to do so, and when the time comes, the people want to defend their beautiful homeland, and they will rush to be the first, and it will become difficult for them to send troops again. Once we hold each other and I move south towards the army, are they afraid? Therefore, at the turn of spring and summer, it is inevitable to send troops, advance in a battle, and after some destruction, calmly retreat to Cochin, relying on the hot flashes of the country's topography, our army is not adaptable, and calmly defends. "Don't say it's impossible, Jiaozhi has invaded several times, but the difference in national strength between the two countries has never been considered, and the thief is very bold.

In fact, Zheng Lang doesn't want to, how good it is not to fight, there are a lot of affairs, once the construction of Guangnan West Road starts, the foundation is weaker than Guangnan East Road, the proportion of Han people is small, and I don't know how many things to do, plus I have to fight with Jiaozhi, I will have a headache at that time.

However, Jiaozhi is ambitious, and this battle must be fought. (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. )
