At the end of September of the second year of Kangding, with the issuance of an edict to defend the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the hundred-year-old army of Lianghuai Chengping slowly turned, and thousands of garrisons attacked everywhere to stop the Zhang Hai rebels who were ravaging Lianghuai.

The exhibition of things as Zhao Lei expected, Zhang Hai's rebels were quickly caught up by Han Qi under the resistance of the two Huai armies, and after a contact battle, Zhang Hai's rebels killed hundreds of people, and met the rebel Guanghua army of Shaoxing on the way to flee south.

The rebels of Zhang Hai and Shaoxing, who entered the city, were attracted by the prosperous city of Shuzhou, and the rebels who fled in panic for several months in the wilderness wantonly plundered Shuzhou, but they were surrounded by Han Qi's Jingxi edict army and became a turtle in the urn.

"Kill!"

Outside the north city wall of Shuzhou, Han Qi completely suppressed the Zhang Hai rebels in Shuzhou City with the long-range attack ability of rocket vehicles and strong bows and crossbows, and then buried them under the city gate with gunpowder barrels, and after blowing up the north gate, tens of thousands of forbidden troops entered Shucheng.

Zhang Hai and Shaoxing are finished, and the rebellion is finally going to be quelled. When Han Qi saw the forbidden army entering Shucheng, he sighed in his heart and thought to himself.

In September of the second year of Kangding, the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains were ripe, and the harvest of grain was continuously transported to the north of the disaster-stricken roads, with the past of the famine and the arrival of relief, the northern part of the Great Song Dynasty was completely calmed down because of the great drought and locust plague caused by the two years of Kangding.

With the pacification of the rebellion of Zhang Hai and Shaoxing, the great maturity of Jiangnan and the Central Plains and the stability of several roads in the north, the three good news made the faces of the Great Song monarchs and ministers as if winter went to spring, and their faces were happy. With the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, the negotiations with Xia Liao that were at an impasse also resumed.

On the dragon chair of the Imperial Palace, the official Zhao Zhen's face was ruddy, his complexion was much better, he looked at the courtiers below, and smiled from time to time, but he had already begun to think in his heart whether he should change the prime minister and the governor, this time Zhang Hai's rebellion made a mess of the entire Lianghuai, if it is said that responsibility, Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu can be described as the culprit. If these two people were allowed to stay in their positions, the Jiangshan Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty might be delivered to them.

Zhao Zhen, the official of the palace, was full of worries in his heart, and His Royal Highness's Great Song Dynasty officials were also making their own small calculations, Lu Yijian and Zhao Yunrang peeked at Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu from time to time, and other officials began to calculate how many officials would be affected when Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu stepped down, and the vacant official position could compete for that one, even Wang Su, who had always been neutral and calm, was secretly calculating. This time the prime minister's seat, is he qualified and has the opportunity to sit on it.

Zhao Lei is also thinking in his heart. Although Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu are not very familiar with Zhao Lei, they are comrades in the same trench after all, if they go down, will the affairs of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute drag on, if they are replaced by a conservative official, maybe the plan of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Institute will be aborted, but the problem of protecting Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu, Zhao Lei has never thought about it, these two people may be good officials in peacetime, but their vision and insight are too disappointing. On the issue of Zhang Hai, he showed military naivety and made mistakes, which absolutely cannot be forgiven, and besides, the official Zhao Zhen is now very disappointed in Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu, and his resignation is a foregone conclusion.

Come to think of it. Zhao Lei began to look around the court to see who was qualified and had the opportunity to sit in the position of prime minister, and at the same time had a good relationship with him. At least not conservative officials.

At this moment, Wang Su suddenly looked at Zhao Lei, the two glanced at each other, smiled tacitly, staggered their eyes and began to bow their heads and think hard about how to get the biggest share of the pie after the fall of Zhang Shixun and Yan Shu.

"There is a morning music, and there is no retreat!" Gan Ling saw that the atmosphere in the imperial hall was a little delicate, and habitually shouted out in a loud voice.

"The minister has the book!" Zhang Shixun began to make a final effort to redeem the impression in the heart of the official Zhao Zhen, so he immediately came out and said to Langsheng.

"Play!" The official Zhao Zhen said lazily to Zhang Shixun, and the one handed over was thrown aside.

"Enlighten the official family! The minister is against making peace with the Western Xia! Zhang Shixun said aloud his opinion that he had been thinking about for a long time, but this sentence shocked the hundred officials in the palace and looked at Zhang Shixun blankly, and the official Zhao Zhen also showed a curious gaze.

Zhang Shixun, who saw the reaction of the monarchs and ministers in the palace, was very satisfied with their expressions, coughed and continued: "As soon as the battle of Song and Xia broke out, the imperial court spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and the people in the north became increasingly poor.

But there are too many drawbacks in negotiating peace with Western Xia, Xia Liao has now formed a strategic alliance, and the peace conditions proposed by Yuan Hao of Western Xia are too harsh, just 100,000 years old coins, so that the imperial court will lose face, and once the imperial court pays tribute to Western Xia, how does the Liao Congress look at it, a small Western Xia will cost 100,000 coins, and the Liao State will definitely feel unbalanced, and then increase the annual coins, so that the imperial court is bound to pay a greater price to satisfy the greed of Xia Liaodi**. ”

Zhang Shixun's words embarrassed many people and the Western Xia negotiated with Yuan Hao to propose 100,000 yuan of coins and 100,000 cloth land, but now the negotiations have not ended, this

There is a lot of room for negotiation, but in this case, Zhang Shixun said that he lost his face and embarrassed Lu Yijian, who supported the peace!

"It's a little early for Mr. Zhang to say this! The peace negotiations have not yet been concluded, and the conditions have not yet been determined, how did Lord Zhang know about the reaction of the Liao State? Lu Yijian immediately stood up and refuted Zhang Shixun and said.

"Xia Liao alliance, anyone can think of these things, although the peace negotiation has not yet come to fruition, but these conditions are unlikely to change, Lord Lu must also know it!" Zhang Shixun said to Lu Yijian with a smile.

"Go on!" The official Zhao Zhen became interested, interrupted the argument between Zhang Shixun and Lu Yijian, and said.

"Official! Although the battle of Song and Xia cost a lot of manpower and material resources in the imperial court, but before the war, the imperial court has been peaceful for 50 years, the soldiers are slack, and the generals are mediocre, so they have been repeatedly defeated in the early stage of the war, and in the later stage of the war, a large number of brave and resourceful generals have emerged in the imperial court, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers has been improved in the war.

The most important thing is that Western Xia is the land of four wars, and the Uighurs and the Uighurs have been holding back the soldiers and horses of the Western Xia.

Therefore, the minister did not agree with the Western Xia to negotiate peace, Zhao Lord Hao Shuichuan, Liulibao defeated the Western Xia army, killed and captured 200,000 Western Xia soldiers, now the Western Xia soldiers and horses are less than 300,000, as long as Zhao Lord goes out to conquer the Western Xia, the day of conquering the Western Xia is definitely not far away, and then the official family will open up the territory and expand the territory, and it will be famous for centuries and go down in history! Zhang Shixun said loudly to the official Zhao Zhen.

Sycophants! It's! Zhao Lei was thinking that Zhang Shixun could say something good to propose, who would have thought that this kind of thing was just nonsense, but he didn't expect Zhang Shixun to be so mediocre in order to keep the position of prime minister, it seems that he can't sit down in the position of prime minister.

Zhao Lei understands that the plan to counterattack Western Xia will not work, but the official Zhao Zhen does not understand! When Zhang Shixun finished speaking, the official Zhao Zhen immediately looked at Zhao Lei with a look of surprise, it seems that the work of expanding the territory and the name of the centuries really attracted Zhao Zhen.

"The minister is not sure, and he is not sure." Zhao Lei replied honestly.

"Why?" Zhang Shixun heard Zhao Lei shirk and asked depressedly.

"Logistics! The battle of Yan'an is a local battle, the minister does not need to think about logistics, once deep into the territory of Western Xia, how to avoid the cavalry that comes and goes like the wind in Western Xia, and protect the logistics grain road, is the biggest problem in the counterattack against Western Xia, hundreds of thousands of horses eat horses and chew horses, the cost is huge, support so many people to fight, the logistics pressure is very heavy, once the logistics grain road can not be guaranteed, the probability of the whole army being wiped out is very great. Zhao Lei still said to the official Zhao Zhen very honestly, but his words made Zhang Shixun sad and disappointed and wanted to jump into the river.

Zhao Lei can now be said to be the first master of the art of war in the Great Song Dynasty, the merit of Luzon, the merit of Xia, and even Wang Deyong is not comparable to the military merit, so when Zhao Lei's words came out, the official Zhao Zhen could only shake his head and look at Zhang Shixun in disappointment.

"So be it! Let Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi complete the peace task as soon as possible. The official Zhao Zhen recovered his lazy expression and said indifferently.

………………………………

After the internal stability of the Great Song Dynasty, the results of the peace negotiations with Xia Liao were soon clear, and Wen Yanbo took the letter of state of Western Xia and the envoy of Western Xia to return to Bianjing to prepare for the signing.

However, the conditions of Western Xia are still too harsh, Western Xia Yuanhao changed the emperor's throne to Shan Yu, no longer called the Great Song Dynasty, changed the alliance of brothers, the Great Song Dynasty paid 100,000 taels of silver every year, 100,000 horses of silk, and 100,000 catties of tea.

Of course, the Great Song Dynasty could not agree to this condition, and after repeated negotiations, finally Yuan Hao agreed to be a minister, and the Great Song Dynasty changed the tribute to the annual coin as a gift of 80,000 taels of silver, 150,000 horses of silk, and 30,000 catties of tea, and finally signed a peace treaty.

And the negotiation with the Liao State and Fu Bi completed very well, the Liao State at the beginning of the ten counties in the south of the country, and finally asked for marriage after knowing that it was hopeless, but Ouyang Xiu's original sentence of marriage did not have much dowry to work, and the Liao State finally no longer asked for marriage, but asked for tribute.

It is too embarrassing to say this kind of thing to Gagong, but the court wants to lose face, and after Fu Bi's arguments, it was finally changed to the Great Song Dynasty to deliver 100,000 taels of Liao silver every year, and this money became the tax of the ten counties of Guannan in the official face, only when the Great Song Dynasty borrowed the ten counties of Guannan, and now it is also taxed to the Liao State.

After the Great Song Dynasty and Xia Liao negotiated peace, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the north slowly returned to Beijing, and the border troubles of the Great Song Dynasty were finally temporarily eliminated, and at this time, the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty gathered inside again, because the contradictions between the courtiers eased by the Song-Xia War suddenly began to explode.

In October 1o41 AD, the Great Song Dynasty changed its name to the era. Merit.

The celebration of the calendar year has finally arrived, and the new deal of the celebration of the calendar year will also come as scheduled and disappear soon!
