Chapter 579 Red Face

But after not taking a few steps, Zhang Fangping caught up and said, "Xingzhi, the third division can't stand it." ”

Let Zheng Lang pull it, and the military equipment will be returned to the third division. It is a responsibility and a right.

In fact, Zheng Lang this time is also a kind of reform, this reform even Wang Anshi did not expect, the real simplification, not redundancy.

In the Song Dynasty, on the contrary, logistics in the strict sense belonged to the Ministry of War, which was responsible for the selection of military generals, coordinated the allocation of military food and salaries by the Ministry of Households, and discussed matters related to military and political preparations. In fact, with the gradual differentiation, the military department has now become a sanatorium for drinking tea, chatting with the mountains, and playing cards.

Where do these rights go?

Each yamen, it is possible that even Zhao Zhen himself can't explain it clearly. For example, the production of weapons, God knows whether it is the third division, or the locality, or other departments. Another example is the storage of weapons, the Song Dynasty system is quite strict, but also very fine, including the division of the various departments is more strict, there are the reserve of the imperial storehouse, the military depot, the pacification division of the arsenal, the old armor staff warehouse, the East armor staff warehouse, the middle armor staff library, the West armor staff library, the new armor staff library, the people's army arsenal, and even the artillery warehouse, the fire attack library, the civilian artillery warehouse, the rowing crossbow library, the city defense library, the invincible library, etc., listen to the name to know that there will be a problem, there are the imperial court directly under the jurisdiction, there are various road management, there are state government management, central, local, eastern, internal treasury, privy council, even Zheng Lang himself is in the Privy Council, and he can't clearly know what powers the Privy Council has for logistics. In this situation, can there be no problems?

It is only on the armament, as well as the logistics of grain, cloth, and money.

The granary was originally called the grain farm, and the granary is a more complex organization. For example, the salt warehouse, the storage is only a part of it, and the original storage is called the yard. It doesn't matter what it's called. Even this is chaotic, and the names are different in various places, warehouses, fields, warehouses, and affairs.

At the beginning of the founding of the country. The warehouse has three uses, one is purely military, the second is the joint force between military and officials, and the third is non-military. If this division is fine, the key is that the distinction between the three is not strict, and the officials in charge of the warehouse do not know what they are used for. Then there was a problem again.

The manhole cover was stolen by thieves, and a common man accidentally stepped on it. The leg was broken, and the people were indignant, ladies and gentlemen, if you drink less of a private banquet, at least a few hundred manhole covers will be saved. Call and ask. If it is a merit, many departments will come out to admit that the key person fell and was injured. I asked more than a dozen departments who was responsible for this responsibility, and not a single department recognized it. Then the common people watched with tears in their eyes as the bosses drove foreign cars, lived in bungalows, and drank flower wine. Bubble Meimei, but the black hole is still there in January, in February, and in March.

This problem is not big, but it is a big deal to fall and injure the legs of two or three ordinary people, and really break the legs of more than a dozen ordinary people, can you really sit still?

However, when it comes to the logistics of the army, especially in the Song Dynasty, it is inconvenient to move and lose, and the authority is not clear, so it is even more fatal. So there was a funny scene, a few years later, the three divisions because of the Shaanxi Hedong years reduced the Xichuan on the silk, and the military clothes were insufficient, and Hebei into the grain and grass is a lot, there is no silk to repay, please loan the treasury silk 100,000, lose the left treasury 200,000 money, the rest of the calculation, to limit the recovery. Let the three divisions borrow from the inner treasury, and pay interest......

I don't know if the three divisions can't afford it, will the inner library take a group of yanei to mortgage the three divisions?

This is the most obvious example, in fact, the entire military logistics, from the production and storage of weapons to grain, cloth, money, and silver, can involve dozens of departments, and the functions and powers of each department are not clear, and they are pulled together with each other.

If the armor just now is pursued, a few craftsmen will definitely be unlucky, and then ask who is responsible, the manhole cover incident in a certain place will be staged, and dozens of departments can be launched, at least I am afraid that Zheng Lang and Bao Zheng will work together, and it will be difficult to determine that it is the mistake of that department. …,

What Zheng Lang did was to eliminate these redundant policies and clarify the responsibilities, since he was mostly involved with the three divisions, he assigned them to the three divisions. I didn't dare to move much, and so far only the granary and the production of weapons have been clarified. It is still far from integrating the logistics supply of the entire army. However, the state is not only in the logistics of the army, but also in the civil administration and economy. Coupled with party strife, what kind of other shore will such a country sail towards? The previous generations of lords were good, including Zhezong, so the Song Dynasty was barely operating this bloated mechanism. But as long as he arrives in Huizong and speaks of conscience, he is still a step behind the more powerful and fierce faint monarch in history. However, big problems arise.

But defeat is also Xiao He, and success is also Xiao He.

There are many aspects of the Song Dynasty that future generations can learn from, such as the survey system.

Ouyang Xiu said that the museum position is expensive, where is the value, first in the museum for a few years as a small clerk, what is the little secretary, maybe the emperor will still ask questions, and leave the image, so it is expensive. It's not that this kind of work is bad, it's also a kind of investigation, and when you take office, you will be more experienced in sorting out official documents. But the most important thing is the local survey, so that you can get acquainted with the officials. Well done, step by step into the temple. Instead of being a small secretary, a small clerk can be a good official, and this role is even inferior to that of some important ministers' doormen.

It was precisely after more than nine years of investigation and grinding in the local area, from civil to financial to military, Zheng Lang went through it carefully, and then compared it with the information in his mind, that he had more enlightenment and insight into the various shortcomings of the Song Dynasty more than anyone else.

It's a small step attempt.

looked at Zhang Fangping and said, "Brother Andao, why can't you stand it?" ”

"Either hand over the Peace Prison to the Inner Storage."

"Brother Antao, today is the Ming Lord, if it is not the Ming Lord, what will happen if he hands over the Peace Prison to the Inner Treasury?" Zheng Lang said in a low voice.

"Or give the military apparatus to the Privy Council."

"Ordnance is originally under the jurisdiction of the three divisions, and it is fully entrusted to the three divisions, and there is little change, if it is handed over to the Privy Council, how many personnel transfers will be affected?" Zheng Lang said. In fact, Zhang Fangping has not yet understood Zheng Lang's intentions, the Song Dynasty system is overlapping and empty, why is so, it is a separation of powers, the following is in the power, centralized, at least the top has to be a look, the rights of the three divisions are expanded, and the rights of the two governments will inevitably decline, which is in line with the "ancestral family law" of the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Langyu paused again and said, "Brother An Dao, remember my words and be cautious. ”

You have to be careful, today's three divisions are by no means the three divisions in history. Just a safety prison and a sugar mill generate more than 10 million yuan of income a year, which makes many people blush. Bring together the right to the state warehouse and the ordnance superintendent. There will be more people with red eyes.

Zhang Fangping was helpless, watched Zheng Lang walk forward, and asked, "Xingzhi." Where are you going? ”

Going all the way to the west, obviously not to Zheng's house, Zheng Lang replied: "Brother Andao, I'll go to the special agent camp." ”

These three words are not the endorsement of ugliness, on the contrary, they are special military affairs, which look very noble. But there are still not many people who know the specific situation, just outside the west gate of Kaifeng.

Come to the agent camp.

Wang Song and Wang Yong are taking these three hundred and dozens of people to practice. There are no equipment, but it is better than Zheng Lang imagined, such as climbing trees, mountaineering, assassination, this thing is Wang Song's best, otherwise he would not be able to come and go freely between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia. How difficult is that? You must know that Zheng Lang sent some scouts to find out the news. It also took the strength of the Nine Dragons and the Two Tigers, but as a result, they only operated in the marginal area of Western Xia, except for Wang Yong and the two, who did not dare to go deeper, for fear of being exposed.

But Zhang Fangping looked up to the sun. After watching it for a while, he felt goosebumps, Wang Song taught him very carefully, but those moves were too dangerous, and he couldn't bear to see them.

Wang Song asked in a low voice, "Zheng Xianggong, do you want them to stop?" ”

This is also a bitter Lord. In the northwest, the species is shrouded, but Pang and the species are not very compatible. As soon as the old seed died, no one cared about him in the capital, and Pang Ji used him, but he threw it away after using it, and he treated it as a pile of garbage, and he didn't even look at it. …,

Zheng Lang asked him to preside over the spy battalion, not stupid, not stupid, on the contrary, very smart and clever, killing people and selling goods is one thing, hugging the thighs is another, you have to hug Zheng Lang's thighs tightly.

"You go on."

"Okay," Wang Song began to call out to his subordinates.

"Boy, you haven't eaten?"

"Boy, you jumped over this pit, how did your instructions make you embarrassed when you came to the capital."

The small leather whip in his hand kept pumping.

To be able to choose this step, no soldier is bad, but helplessly, he has suffered a lot from this great monk, but the promotion and salary increase are real, what should I do, I have no gas to endure it. But these physical qualities are really good, and now at the end of June, it is the most weather time of the year, but after these intense training, none of these soldiers have fallen down.

Zhang Fangping sighed: "Tiger Ben man." ”

Zheng Lang didn't say anything, joking, these are three hundred or dozens of people selected from more than 300,000 soldiers, no more, the Song Dynasty army is really finished. But looking at this fierce soldier, Zheng Lang had an inspiration in his heart.

Is a strong special army created?

The Song Dynasty also had some armies with the name of a powerful service, but the actual combat effectiveness was very questionable. In fact, it doesn't take much, if you keep the powerful special forces of the fourth to fifth battalions all the way, then you will have an irreplaceable advantage on the battlefield.

But this thought was fleeting, under the sick system of the Song Dynasty, even if there were several powerful special armies, if they were commanded by civil ministers or eunuchs who did not understand military affairs, what role could they play?

Suddenly, the soldiers improved and performed even better.

"Okay." Zhang Fangping shouted.

They didn't know the facts, it was Wang Yong who whispered to his subordinates from a distance, and Zheng Lang and Zhang Fangping came to see them. One is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is the minister of finance, and both of them came down from the northwest battlefield and are not thin on the generals, so they perform better one by one.

That's it, Wang Song was still whipping with a leather whip, and Zhang Fangping said: "Zheng Xianggong, Wang Song has overdone." ”

Zheng Lang was happy and said, "It's okay, these soldiers are in good physical condition and are not afraid." If you want them to be better, you have to be rigorous in training. If you sweat three points today, you will spill seven points less blood tomorrow. Otherwise, they will not be able to live up to their official positions. ”

waved his hand and called Wang Song again.

"Zheng Xianggong, what do you command?"

"When do you think they'll be released soonest?"

"Zheng Xianggong, with martial arts alone, you can release it now, but it's not the same as martial arts, there are others."

"I know, but when can we release a group of people at the earliest?"

"It's hard to say, if it can be practical, it will be next year at the earliest, they are more than brave, and the strain is insufficient."

"Wang Song, I don't care what method you use, you must release fifty people at the end of September, sneak into Western Xia, and wait for the orders of the imperial court."

"September is too early," Wang Song shook the leather whip in his hand and twisted his eyebrows. The leather whip is not trying to whip Zheng Lang, but trying to use this leather whip to increase the intensity of training. Will you be able to complete the task in September?

"It must be before September, and you must pick one of the battalions and prepare a hundred men. Dive into the South. ”

"South?" Wang Song lost his mind.

"South?" Zhang Fangping also asked puzzled.

"It's the South," Mr. Zheng said. The future war is not in the northwest, nor with the Khitan. But in the south, not only Nong Zhigao, but also Sumaozhou was anti-Song, Xiaxi Prefecture was anti-Song, Zikui Luyi was anti-Song, Fengzhou Dongman was anti-Song, Huodong was anti-Yongzhou, and Shaozhou was anti-Song. Jiaozhi disturbed the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhijiatong attacked the Song Dynasty, and Su Maozhou attacked Yongzhou. These were the big rebellions of the last six or seven years, and there were countless small rebellions.

Was it because the Song Dynasty was too bad for them? On the contrary, after Zhao Zhen's death, all the people, including the road from Sichuan to Jinghu South, wept. …,

The Song Dynasty had a very negative attitude towards this place, and Meishan was barbarously classified as Meishan. No entry and exit, let them become a country and China, at ease. Go south from Kuizhou Road, called Nanhuang. It's like a wasteland, don't ask about it. Die.

As for the reaccumulation, it is even more of a joke, since it is a wasteland, what harvest do you expect it to have? Even on Jinghu South Road, the familiar barbarian only levies three buckets and three thousand rations, and is responsible for its security, planning and plotting fields.

However, these brutal rebellions not only disturbed the rule of local officials, but also left no grass in the places they passed, hundreds of people were killed, and houses were burned to the ground. Even if Nong Zhigao is a big hero, the hundreds of thousands of people he killed are not Han people, if they are divided according to later nationalities, seventy percent of them are Zhuang people.

Future generations want to reverse black and white and beautify Nong Zhigao in a delirious way, Zheng Lang will not care, but as a Song person, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, he will not sit idly by and watch these barbarians do it. But this has to be planned carefully, Zhao Zhen was helpless by these people, and sent Pan Mei's grandson Pan Shu to suppress and destroy the ninety-nine mountain villages, that is, ninety-nine small mountain villages, because the terrain was unfamiliar, and had to retreat.

The imperial court did not manage it well, no matter if it was bad, so the troops were constrained again and again, resulting in Zhao Zhen's death, and the national finances were not reversed at all, leaving a super bad mess for future generations. Besides, from the Xiangjiang River to the west, all the way to the west of Hubei, the south of Chengdu, Sichuan, to Liangguang, such a large area should account for one-third of the territory of the poor Song Dynasty, how could Zheng Lang not care?

No one could guess his thoughts, Wang Song was embarrassed, and said: "Zheng Xianggong, if you say that the Western Xia thief, your subordinates still know a little, and in the south, your subordinates don't know." ”

"It's okay, I'll order General Di Qing to send a few people over to assist you. This can not be rushed, at the end of the year, dozens of people will be selected first, and they will go to the south before, and then slowly plan to do so. ”

"Where is the South?"

"Meishanman, all areas of the Southern Wilderness, Lingnan, and Jiaozhi."

Zheng Lang said a noun, Wang Song's face was embarrassed, only Lingnan was slightly better, and the other three places were not good places.

"Wang Song, do you know how much this battalion costs the country a year?"

"Yes."

"Do it well, and you may go down in history for it." Zheng Lang said. It is not an exaggeration, there has never been such a special newspaper section in history, although Sun Tzu's sentence of knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can win a hundred battles, and it will be left there for thousands of years.

"Yes."

"Once the operation begins, I will add an additional fifty thousand taels of silver for you to call."

"Yes," this time Wang Song replied more confidently. Everywhere you go, whether it's in Western Xia or in the south, you can't do it without money.

On the way back, Zhang Fangping asked: "Xingzhi, do you really want to use troops against the south?" ”

"If Xiangshui is properly developed, when it reaches half of Jiangdongwei, do you think I will be tempted? If a Lingnan is properly developed, when it arrives at two Jiangdong Wei, do you think I can't move? ”

"Xingzhi, but Lingnan is redeveloped, how can the grain be transported back to the capital?"

General Zheng Lang was stunned, he would not answer If the imperial court attaches importance to scientific and technological research and development, it may not be a dream to have a steam engine, including a steam train. This is easy to manufacture, and if it is developed vigorously, and your knowledge is accepted by more people in this era, it is possible that this kind of thing can appear in your old age. The key steam train is easy to manufacture, but what about the railway? Squeezing the Song Dynasty from top to bottom, it can't make up so much steel. There is no railway, shipbuilding and transportation, where is it transported from? By sea? No matter how big a ship is, it will incur a high cost for food.

Zheng Lang didn't know how to answer, so he replied rudely: "It's better than now." ”

……

Zheng Lang was ready to send Xi to Western Xia, and the great changes in Western Xia had gradually begun. …,

Before Yuan Hao met the Wu Yi clan, he also met a woman. After he was in the middle of the world, he was suspicious for a long time, and finally understood that he had been fooled, and regretted it in his heart. Following the words of Queen Yeli, the original intention of finding Yeli's beggar family was to reward his family as compensation. Empress Yeli wants to compensate her mother's family, but she will regret it greatly this time.

The tragic story began to happen, Ye Li Yu beggar family brought, Yuan Hao said a few words of comfort, but his eyes lit up, because he saw a beautiful woman in his family, asked someone to inquire, only to know that it was Ye Li Yu Begg's wife. Gotta make up for it more thoroughly. Sent someone to take Yeli Yu's beggar wife Wuzang to the middle palace, one is dry firewood, and the other is Agni, and immediately hooked up. But soon after, Jean Wild found out and quarreled. You have killed my brother by mistake, and you don't ask for compensation, why do you want to occupy my sister-in-law?

When he was young, Yeli's appearance was as beautiful as a flower, and his character was good, and he was even favored by Yuan Hao. At this time, she gave birth to two sons, and she was in her thirties, and her color had declined, but Li Yuanhao also considered her feelings, and gave the Wuzang clan as the master of Wuzang, and became a nun and lived in the Jietan Temple in Xingqing Mansion.

This year, Na did not move the clan as the queen, and gradually forgot about the Muzang clan, but I heard that she was pregnant, and when she went hunting in the Liangcha River, he took her with her. Just during the hunt, a son was born. Because the prince was born and did not hide the clan as the queen, a Western Xia, there were actually three queens.

and let the brother of the Tibetan clan and the Tibetan clan slander Pang March as the minister of state. Since then, the wild Li clan has fallen out of favor, and it is inevitable that there will be resentment, so there is no hidden brother and sister to give some push, which led to Yuan Hao deposing the wild Li clan in June, so that he will live in the palace and never see each other again.

This is just a small obstacle on the road ahead of the Muzang clan, and there are two huge obstacles. The first is the crown prince, the prince is the biological son of the Yeli clan, once he becomes the emperor, the Wuzang family will be destroyed. The second is that the little woman has not moved, after the personnel, the little young woman has become more and more radiant, romantic, and was regarded as a pearl in the palm of Li Yuanhao, and built a palace in Tiandu Mountain, and the two were happy.

Yuan Hao has abolished the Yeli family, and the crown prince Li Ningge is alone, isolated, with the hatred of taking his wife in the past, and the resentment of his mother in the back, and resentment in his heart. Li Yuanhao also heard something, he didn't want to hear it, and some people sent Brother Li Ning's words into his ears! But Li Yuanhao likes this son very much, thinking that he is quite similar to himself, and is a good successor in the future of Western Xia, and secondly, he also knows that he behaves perversely, and he is fascinated by the wine, so he goes his own way, and at the end of June, he ordered tens of thousands of servants, and prepared to build a pavilion dozens of miles away from the palace and more than ten zhang high on the side of Helan Mountain, so as to feast with the concubines.

It's just a matter of not wanting to go.

But Guan Jian was happy with his sister who didn't move, and a group of other girls, but he forgot about the other sister-in-law, although the Wuzang clan was beautiful, it was not the level of the red face and disaster of the Wuqian clan, it was a small wild flower with thorns, and after playing, his son got it out, and Li Yuanhao forgot about it. This was nothing, but at this time, he didn't care about political affairs, and all of it was handed over to the Minister of State who didn't hide it, and he was the brother of Wuzang's family, and he had a son of Li Yuanhao, and he had a name and rights. A conspiracy took place......

……

The specific front-line report has not yet been obtained, and it is only known that Li Yuanhao began to overhaul the palace in Helan Mountain.

Looking at the newspaper, Zheng Lang sighed: "What a disaster." ”

If it weren't for this unmoved girl, Li Yuanhao would never have come to this point. It's just that like Minchan in history, where is the final whereabouts of such an "outstanding" woman? (To be continued) RQ
