At the beginning of Nong Zhigao's place, the momentum is like a bamboo, although he returned to Yongzhou, but in the overhaul of the boat, so that the two ministers are very nervous, Guangzhou Xinzhizhou Wei Qian and Guangdong transfer envoy Yuan Qian on the book, but where to guard the royal preparations, must not be reluctant to do it, want to let the people not work, can not be long. Its Guangzhou city must be repaired and completed by recruiting wealthy Han households and Ding Zhuang. If there is no good strategy to resist the enemy, but it is a last resort to practice water warfare and fight with Kou.

It would have been nice.

The bigwigs in the capital are also aware of this problem, because they do not pay attention to the south, most areas are spending money to buy security policies, and the ban on soldiers in the capital is the northern soldiers, who are not accustomed to the weather in the south, and often migrate to the south to settle down, with many dead and wounded, so there are few soldiers and most of the city defenses are not complete, which is also the key reason for Nongzhi's high strength. It is Nong Zhigao, if Zheng Lang and Di Qing join forces, the Lingnan officialdom of the Song Dynasty will be eroded, Zheng Lang will govern the people, Di Qing will attack the city, and until now, the entire Liangguang would have become a real Great Southern Kingdom.

But the civil servants don't understand.

Then Nong Zhigao focused on attracting two people, one was Nong Xia Cheng, the owner of Temo Village, this part made him successful, and his mother Anon led a ride to infiltrate Temo Village. The other is Huang Shouling, but Huang Shouling got the benefits of Yu Jing, and saw the Song army gathering from all directions, so he was a little hesitant in his heart. Nong Zhigao was displeased, and sent a group of soldiers to attack Huang Shouling, but was defeated.

In fact, the scale of this battle is not large, Nong Zhigao did not divide the main army, only one of them, the number of troops is small, and the enemy is light, since Huang Shouling can make Nong Zhigao valued, repeatedly wooed, the tribe is also very powerful, and occupies the advantages of geography and people, so Huang Shouling won.

Yu Jing didn't understand, thinking that Nong Zhigao's morale began to decline before he failed. I also saw the native soldiers recruited by Liangguang, several battalions of forbidden soldiers, and local soldiers recruited from Jiangnan West Road and Hunan, except for those who stayed in various cities, most of them moved to the vicinity of Yongzhou. Suddenly his courage grew again.

In fact, the reason for this is that the imperial court is dissatisfied with his foreign workers, and the number one coach has now become the fourth coach, and it is Di Qing who came to Quang Nam. He didn't want a martial artist to point fingers above his head, and he had an urgent psychology in his heart.

Zheng Langcai officially entered the Hunan territory, his party was not slow, but most of them were infantry, and they discussed the construction of two roads all the way, so after entering Ezhou, the speed became slower and slower. But Di Qing's side was full of Tibetan cavalry. The speed is very fast, and it has been a few days before that he has led his troops across the five mountains, and Yu Jing wants to grab the credit.

So the command sent Chen Shu to Kunlun Pass.

Chen Shu's mood became delicate, the imperial edict had already been issued, Zheng Lang must obey Zheng Lang's mobilization in the Liangguang army, Zheng Lang is not there, he must obey Di Qing's mobilization. If it is a division march, it will obey the command of Sun Wei. Although Yu Jing was once a commander, he actually did not have the right to command the army in battle. Di Qing did not arrive at Wuling. He asked the military commander to issue military orders to the front, and the front-line troops were mobilized and armed, but no army was allowed to fight. Di Qing is not far from the army, and Sun Xun will soon come to the front line. It stands to reason that Chen Shu doesn't have to obey Yu Jing's order, but in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, Di Qing is just a martial artist, so what qualifications does he have not to give Yu Jing face? According to common sense, should you obey the orders of Yu Jing's civil officials, or follow the orders of Di Qing Wufu? Put it on any official of the Song Dynasty to choose. will be used as an easy choice. At the same time, he also had the idea of competing for merit in his heart.

So Chen Shu ignored Di Qing's order and led 8,000 men and horses to kill Kunlun Pass, as a military general, he was stronger than some civil officials in Lingnan who immediately abandoned the city and fled when they heard that the thieves came, but as a military general himself, he was not as good as Ge Huaimin. The army marched to Jinchengyi. There are a series of post stations from Kunlun Pass to the east road, and the upcoming Quy Nhon Pu is the second post station, and Jincheng Post is still in the northeast of Quy Nhon Pu.

Chen Shu ordered the three armies to set up camp, he had no prestige in governing the army, once camped, the soldiers had no entertainment activities in the barracks, and it was a group of miscellaneous troops, gathered together and began to gamble, the dice were rolled non-stop, Cantonese, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, and a small number of forbidden soldiers spoke the northern official dialect, and the soldiers from Tiannan and Haibei rolled up their elbows one by one, and gambled to get carried away. …,

Nong Zhigao sent people to spy on the situation of this army, led most of the army to gallop out of Kunlun Pass, and quickly pounced on the Song army camp. Hearing that the thief army suddenly pounced, Chen Shu didn't know why, so he only gave an order, asking Wang Chengji to stop gambling with the 500 loyal soldiers gathered from Yizhou and gather to meet the enemy as the vanguard. As for the rest of the soldiers, the herald was shouting, and most of them were in the mood for gambling, and no one listened to the orders. Even the loyal soldiers are no better, one by one reluctantly put away the money, dice, and lazily wear armor. Before the armor could be put on, Nong Zhigao's army arrived. How else to fight? The 8,000 men were almost wiped out, Wang Chengji and Xu Ao were both killed in battle, and only Chen Shu and a few generals escaped.

After Zheng Lang heard this, although he had been prepared, he was still furious, and wrote a letter to reprimand Yu Jing fiercely, what do you want? If it is bad for me, Salmon Island should be the king.

The Song Dynasty also had labor camps, which were clearly stipulated in the Criminal Law Chronicles, and the heavy ones were Shamen Island Village, followed by Lingbiao, and then within 3,000 miles to neighboring states. After Li Shimin released the condemned prisoner home, most monarchs of the Song Dynasty regarded Li Shimin's nonsense as a model, and attached great importance to the death row prisoner, and often needed the emperor's personal endorsement before the execution could be carried out. Most of the rest were exiled, and the light ones were sent to labor camps near their hometowns, and their families could visit them from time to time. The heavier one is Lingnan Hainan, so the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and it is up to fate. The heaviest is Shamen Island, this island is the Changshan Islands of Yantai later, in the Song Dynasty and later generations, it is also a place with fertile land and beautiful scenery, because there are many temples on the island, there are many fishermen who go to sea, pray for peace and build joint ventures one after another, Buddhism Gate is also called Shamen, so it is called Shamen Island.

However, there is one difference, after the end of the Tang Dynasty, a prison camp was set up here, which is now called the prison city camp, which holds many serious criminals, and the prison camp on Shamen Island is called Shamen Village, and the prison director is called the owner of Shamen Village. Because of the isolation of the land, the owner of the village is a perverted person, often to torture the prisoner for pleasure, Zheng Lang also issued an order for this, before the order to cite six things, one is the long-term detention, but also the big shackle, which is more torturous than handcuffs, there is a time limit, afraid that the prisoner will have an accident, but on Salmon Island, the owner of the village often does not know the time, often let the prisoner wear shackles for a year and a half, a long time. The prisoner's neck bones were deformed, wrist bones were broken, and sometimes iron chains grew into the flesh. The second is not to give food and drink, which is also stipulated in the Song Punishment. If the prison authorities do not give the prisoners food and 60 rods, so as to make it humane, they can often starve to death on Salmon Island. The third is to feed sawdust, and force the sawdust and water to the prisoners, so that the prisoners cannot digest the sawdust. In the end, he died of fullness. The fourth is to feed the loach fish, put a very small steel hook into the belly of the fish, let the prisoner swallow it, the fish meat is digested and the steel hook enters the stomach, it is difficult to discharge, the hook breaks the stomach, the prisoner wails in pain, struggles for several days and dies. Fifth, stone cloth bags. Put pebbles from the sea in a sack, tie it tightly, and beat the prisoner with the sack. The prisoner was beaten half to death but could not be injured. Sixth, the shoulder well into the needle, first massage the prisoner's shoulder, so that the skin is relaxed, don't be happy, bitter in the back, and then the whole steel needle is pierced into the prisoner's shoulder well point, the steel needle is thin, the whole root is pierced, it is not easy to see from the outside, but the prisoner will be in severe pain. Unable to move his arms and unable to work, he justifiably inflicted corporal punishment and confinement on the prisoner on the grounds that he was lazy.

As soon as this order came out, the world was in an uproar, and the Song Dynasty regarded itself as a benevolent government. Although most of this benevolent government is ridiculous, it is still better than the previous generation. For example, when interrogating prisoners, small thorns and bamboo strips are often used instead of large wooden planks. When did you dare to use such a cool method?

Zhao Zhen was actually alarmed, and he sent an envoy to investigate, and most of the torture was found, and many prisoners were tortured to the point that they were not human. …,

Zhao Zhen was furious, immediately beheaded the owner of Shamen Village, and issued an edict clearly stipulating that the felons who did not obey the discipline should only be punished with 50 rods, and the flail should not exceed 10 days, and they should not be deducted from their food and drink, and they should not torture the prisoners with any other kind of torture, and the tortured prisoners should be compensated and immediately released home.

As soon as this edict was issued, countless prisoners wept bitterly in the homes of Salmon Island.

Of course, the more than four years that Zheng Lang was in power is called the peak of the Song Dynasty's rule, which is not only the way to accumulate wealth, but also the way to benefit the people, and the policy of benefiting the people is not only this. That's why he was praised by countless literati all over the world, and when he heard that Zheng Lang went to Lingnan, many people regretted it.

But Salmon Island's notoriety became famous all over the world, and it was called the Murder Island.

The Song Dynasty did not kill scholars, but some scholars committed too many crimes, and there were occasional cases of exile on Salmon Island.

Helpless, I am afraid that Yu Jing will continue to be confused, after all, Di Qing is the second coach at this time, not the first coach. Although Yu Jing has made meritorious contributions in governing Lingnan in history, there are also many officials in the Song Dynasty who are good at governing the people, not only the famous Bao Zheng in history, such as Li Suzhi, Xu Yuan, Cheng Shimeng, Wang Su, Cheng Kan, and Wei Qian and Yuan Qian who were in Guangzhou at this time. It was precisely because they saw that it would cause a burden on the people, and the two officials were worried that they deliberately wrote a recital, and they were careful with the people! These officials attach no less importance to the people than Bao Zheng. Over the years, Zheng Lang has carefully unearthed these officials one by one and stepped onto the stage one after another. For example, to Xu Yuanlong's pavilion straight bachelor's position, Xu Yuan looked at the north after receiving the order in Jiangnan, and cried for a long time, after all, he was not a genuine Jinshi official, he could get this honorary position, he could not be excited, and then he began to be tired, and he was almost ready to do his best and wanted to repay the court.

It is unlikely that you want to make the national officials better, but not too many officials to find one or two officials to replace Yu Jing.

Then he wrote a letter to Di Qing, promising you to act cheaply, and I will hand over all the rights to you for the time being. Don't be afraid, do whatever you want, I'll have your back. But a few things were written, the first thing is to prevent any soldier from killing the good and risking the merits, and the unintentional killing of the good will be punished, and the intentional killing of the good will be beheaded! A very sensible order, sometimes the rebels will take off their uniforms, blend in with the people, and when they kill, they will not kill, and when they kill, they will be wrongly killed.

The second thing is to allow the rebels to surrender, and to allow them to return home if there is no great evil among them, no murderers, as long as there is a desire to repent. If there is a great evil or human life, they will be imprisoned and left to Yongzhou to deal with it. For example, Huang Shuaimi and his ilk, even if they surrender, Zheng Lang will also kill these traitors! There are also some rebel soldiers who have been seriously burned and plundered, Nong Zhigao went back from Guangzhou, and he also carried a large number of good girls all the way back to rape, Nong Zhigao took the lead, but imagine how many crimes this rebel army has done! Even if these people surrender, they will not be forgiven.

The third thing is to kill the rebels who do not surrender, even if they are defeated and flee!

The first is benevolent government, and the third is hegemonic government. With the issuance of these three orders, the Battle of Kunlun Pass completely changed its flavor.

Sima Guang asked curiously: "Zheng Xianggong, is it gone?" ”

In the Northwest Campaign, he and Wang Anshi did not participate, and heard many rumors that Zheng Lang was strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, and thought that he had written some good plan for Di Qing to implement.

Zheng Lang laughed and said, "Junshi, what else do you think there will be?" For the way of officials. It's not easy to say, it's not hard to say. The wise man has the world in his chest and loves the people. This common people are not only powerful, but also more low-level people, loyal and patriotic, not greedy or ink, and have virtue. And then there is the way to govern, and the same is true of the way to govern, with a clear plan in mind. All kinds of governing policies revolve around this plan, which is a policy, followed by employing people, putting the right people in the right positions, whether as a ruler or as a party governor, there will be great governance. Why did I have a tacit relationship with Uncle Ouyang Yong when we were young, and there have been many conflicts in recent years. It is the difference between morality and the concept of official governance, and he believes that those who rule the world must be scholars from formal pavilions, if so. Am I not qualified? The second is the Jinshi on the list of regular temple examinations. The rest are inferior. If so, what is Xu Yuan? Or before the Sui Dynasty, Xiao He may be a good official, Zhang Liang may be a noble son, but what is Cao participating in Chen Ping? In fact, although the scale of my trip to the south was large, many people in the imperial court thought it was very difficult, but it was not difficult to say that it was difficult. The first is decision-making, I was planning a few years ago, and I was well prepared. The second is to employ people, and hand over the marching and fighting to the generals, and the governance of the localities to the various good officials, then the plan can be successful for the most part. Junshi, remember, people can't judge your practice by your background. Whether civilians or magnates, there is a good side, there is a bad side, will produce talents, people are not omnipotent, good at this aspect, that aspect will be short, Wenchen is mainly good at governance, marching and fighting should be based on military generals, even if to punish the rebellion of the replacement of five dynasties and ten countries, can not be too restrained military generals, as long as attention can not be paid to let the military generals too large a large area of political, financial and military power in one, the formation of the trend of the town. This is the real secret of my victory in the Northwest. ”…,

Sima Guang pondered.

In fact, half of the words were enlightened by Sima Guang.

There is nothing else in the Song Dynasty, as long as these two bullish students do not drill the horns, the future of the Song Dynasty will be bright!

The army slowly reached Pingjiang, which was the first part of the road planning.

Some people are already working on it.

All the roads in this area are relatively perfect, and some of them do not need to be repaired at all, and they are already thoroughfares. What was widened was some mountain roads, and Zheng Lang deliberately went to watch. Because of the outstanding performance of gunpowder on the battlefield, especially the bombing of the tall Beizhou City, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were panicked and became more and more strict in the management of gunpowder. Therefore, the procedures for the management and use of gunpowder are becoming more and more complicated, but since the safety supervision has been using gunpowder one after another, the methods of using gunpowder have become more and more advanced, and the air pressure effect of it is not well understood, but it is known that its closed explosion effect is better.

At first, the previous method of opening the stone was used, using the hot and cold method and the acetate method to make the stone soft and soft, and then a very deep hole was punched, and then the gunpowder was transported by the designated officials, stuffed into the hole, and ignited with the closure.

After a loud bang, Zheng Lang walked over to inspect the effect, and he didn't know if the later Kaishan explosives were more powerful TNT, or if they continued to use black powder, but he always felt that the effect was still not as good as the effect of the Kaishan explosives in later generations.

He was not satisfied, but the people of this era were very satisfied, and several officials began to surround Zheng Lang to flatter, this powerful thing was invented by this prime minister. The previous ones were not counted, but now gunpowder can be called explosives.

As the people smashed the large pieces of stones after the bombing and transported them to the low-lying places, they just happened to make stone paving.

Although he didn't like many officials to follow behind him like flies, but after a few turns, this part of the road construction was relatively smooth, and if it was carried out quickly, it would be finished in February next year, Zheng Lang was still satisfied and commended the accompanying officials. Hugh should count on every official to be Li Suzhi and Cheng Shimeng, and those who are right should be praised and their enthusiasm should be raised, and those who are wrong should be pointed out. This is the way of the Emperor.

Fan Chunyou said: "Zheng Xianggong, I wonder if you can use it to dig the Danshui Canal and the Sanmen Canal?" ”

An experience in Shaanxi with his father was the most important experience in Fan Chunyou's life, and seeing the power of gunpowder like this, he naturally thought of Shaanxi.

Zheng Lang shook his head and said, "Yes, it's not worth it." The Tang Dynasty has done partial construction of the Danshui Canal, rebuilt the Guannan Canal, shortened the land road from Danshui to Chang'an, and also played an important role in the Anshi Rebellion, so that the Jianghan material resources were continuously transported to Guanzhong, which was the foundation for defeating the Anshi army. However, the actual cost of that transportation is still very huge compared with the Jianghuai road cut-off, and it cannot be used as a normal situation. If you want to make the Danshui Canal really meritorious, running through Jianghan and Guanzhong, it must be overhauled, the project is huge, especially the water diversion, there is not enough water source, the water volume is small, the river water level is low, and the boat is not allowed to travel, which is equivalent to wasting money in vain. If you want to divert the water flow, you can also use the underground canal to lead the distant water flow to the Danshui Canal, but although there are some rivers in the area from Danshui to Guanzhong, it is too far away, and the amount of work must be huge. And even if it is attracted, it is necessary to make a similar arrangement to the Ling Canal, and fold the canal into a zigzag shape, so that the water flow will not be quickly discharged downstream, then many dams and bucket gates must be built, and the local people must be worked as slender men. Comparing the topography again, if the Danshui Canal is opened, the height of the mountain exceeds that of the Ling Canal, which is difficult, and the water flow is not as good as the water flow around the Ling Canal, and the amount of work is large. Since the Tang Dynasty, Shaanxi has developed and matured. Even if there is the Danshui Canal, it is only the icing on the cake, but if you want to get the credit, the amount of work may reach half of the amount of the Yangguang Canal, and the cost is not worth it. Unless the Tang Dynasty did, the capital was placed in Chang'an. However, the Sanmen Canal can be properly considered, but the formation time of the Sanmen Canal is millions of years, or even longer, and the river water has not washed away its Shenmen, Guimen Island and Pillar, which shows that its stone is stubborn, and if you want to blast, you must improve the blasting technology, and the gunpowder is more advanced, otherwise with the current gunpowder power and blasting technology, it is very likely to waste a lot of financial resources and manpower, and it will still not succeed. ”…,

"Sanmen is not Dayu......" Li Suzhi was a little suspicious.

"Tiancheng, Dayu is an ancient thing, I have not figured out some history of the Tang Dynasty, only some records of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can we figure out the deeds of Dayu nearly 2,000 years ago. Or the fathers and elders, this can only be partially believed, such as my affairs, I am still alive in the world, what is passed down by the world? I almost became a youkai. ”

Everyone laughed together.

"Yao Shunyu Tang is an ancient sage and cannot be questioned, but the recorded deeds have all kinds of blackmail. With the strength of the three gates, the financial resources and manpower of our dynasty today cannot be cured, Yang Guang does not care about the life and death of the people of a country, and there is no radical cure, not to mention in ancient times? We must learn to respect the ancients, but as future generations, we must carry forward the past and forge ahead into the future, and many of the Master's truths have not been explained clearly, but the hope in his heart, I think also hopes that future generations will carry forward his learning, instead of being afraid of being in his frame, afraid of the head and tail, and not daring to break through. ”

"Carry on the past and forge ahead into the future...... Li Suzhi muttered, the only one who dares to shout this sentence in the world is the two of them!

Zheng Lang's letter reached Yu Jing, and Yu Jing was honest. Nong Zhigao's matter dragged on for a long time, and the eight thousand soldiers left their wives and children behind and came to Yongzhou, almost letting him lose it, if Zheng Lang made a fuss about it, with his favor in front of the emperor, it was really possible to get himself to the killing island. Moreover, during the Qingli New Deal, Zheng Lang was not very in favor of Fan Zhongyan's New Deal, and had conflicts with many gentlemen, but that was a disagreement with political opinions, and it was still good to have a personal relationship with gentlemen such as Fu Bi, Cai Xiang, Wu Yu, and Wang Yaochen. But Zheng Lang hates the two the most, the first is Ouyang Xiu, and the second is himself.

But if Zheng Lang came, Yu Jing was still convinced, and now Di Qing came, Yu Jing was full of contempt for martial artists in his bones, and he still couldn't tolerate Di Qing being above him, since I wasn't allowed to attack Nong Zhigao, then I could make meritorious service in another way, so I came up with a more foolish strategy! (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. )
