The North-South War

This is the end of the 60 points of the cantata. Mr. Tang Yao finished reading it as if no one was around, and then no one paid attention to it, and left the hall in a chic manner. After he left, the guards in the hall looked at each other and were dumbfounded. After so many years on duty, it's the first time I've seen such a fierce man...

In fact, not only the guards, but everyone in the hall that day was very depressed. Wang Anshi didn't say anything, he didn't have any psychological preparation, and suddenly broke the officialdom record of more than 100 years, and was called and drunk in front of the emperor, and scolded a bloody dog...

The opposition is not having a good time either, and it is said that the enemy of the enemy is a friend? But Tang Yao just didn't play cards according to common sense, scolding Wang Anshi for even taking Wen Yanbo, no one would give face, and the team on either side would not stand...

The most angry was the emperor. Shenzong really can't understand: who is the emperor between him and Tang Yao? Theoretically, it should be him? can be forced to ascend to the throne, and borrowed by someone to smash Wang Anshi, "In front of His Majesty, it is still like this, and it can be imagined outside" This sentence sounds like maintaining imperial power, but just like that, the prime minister was called right? I'm the emperor, and I've never been so good! After that, it was even worse, Tang Yao talked at length and endlessly, during which the emperor stopped drinking many times, but people ignored it, and they didn't pay attention to it until they finished reading, and walked out of the hall directly! Always be the emperor of the air ...

The anger of the above three parties determined Tang Yao's political life. He was first demoted to Chaozhou as a farewell, and was charged with desecrating the court. Then he depreciated again and again, went to the Guangzhou military depot to see the warehouse, went to Jizhou liquor tax to work as a clerk, and finally completely degraded to a civilian...

For the sake of something that shouldn't be angry, fire at all the big guys, leaving no way out. Tang Yao did such a thing. Aside from psychosis, like there is no second noun to explain?

On the 28th, Wang Shao once again broke the wood and marched to Gongling City. More than 20,000 people were recruited.

After the first victory, Wang Shao did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, he stopped, because he had something more important to do - to write a chapter for the imperial court. Retribution is necessary, but it is secondary. In the recital, Wang Shao seemed to write an additional sentence very weakly: "The emperor and the prime ministers have paid attention, and I have to explain: this war." I didn't use a penny of the imperial court, I opened up the wasteland to do business, and I earned it myself" refers to the previous history of the Song Dynasty. will know that Wang Shao is looking for something to do. For example, Cao Bin was demoted by just paying out of his own pocket to reward the border soldiers. Another example is Zhang Kang and Teng Zongliang, who won so many battles at the border. But because of a little bit of unclear financial books. I have to lose my official position and be dismissed! The lessons of the previous car are not far away, so why does Wang Shao want to commit crimes against the wind, which pot is not opened? The answer is divided into two parts: cause and effect.

Let's look at the antecedents first: three years ago, Wang Shao wanted to build the upper and lower cities of Wei and Jing, and proposed that there were tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land between Weiyuan and Qinzhou that had been abandoned and uncultivated. The state should send people to open up wasteland, and at the same time attract investment, and grasp both agriculture and business, so as to boost the local economy. It's a good thing to look at it anyway, right? Can...

First of all, Li Shizhong, the commander of the northwest at that time, objected: the land that Wang Shao was referring to was not good land at all, but just the land of local archers. If you don't believe it, you can check it!

Someone has asked for it below. So what are you waiting for? The emperor immediately sent someone to investigate, and the result was super talented: there was land. But only 1 hectare! And the ownership is still disputed, and several landlords are in a lawsuit... There is nothing to say about this result! The vast land and the huge Shaanxi Fourth Road are only 1 hectare of land? Could it be that Li Yuanhao was an ant back then, fighting for his life with more than 100,000 people on both sides of the enemy and us in 1 hectare of land?

Nothing else, even the people sent by Li Shizhong to investigate were demoted and withdrawn! Give Wang Shao free hands and feet!

But the question immediately arose again – about the City Law.

Both the market law and the equal-loss law have to be paid by the state! If you want to transport the silver and silk silk of the white flowers to the frontier, the bigwigs in the court all said that they couldn't figure it out! Obviously, the Tubo people and the Xixia people have to rob if they have nothing to do, and if you transport so much money over, you are simply taking meat buns to lure dogs!

Wang Anshi was angry and replied, "The landlords in the northwest dare to accumulate their family property, and the dignified country is actually afraid of being robbed?" Is there any reason for this? The minister of state does not think about strengthening the country, but actually thinks about pretending to be poor and hiding from thieves every day, is there still a royal law" and so on... After that, there was a lot of noise, and the city law was implemented in the northwest...

So now after Wang Shao made money and won the battle, he had to emphasize the effect and write this recital. But he's still too naïve, don't think that making money is a good thing! Don't even think that winning a battle is the last word! In front of an experienced and capable politician, everything will turn sour!

Wen Yanbo, the military leader and privy envoy: "Do you know how to build a house?" Builders will always say that the budget is very low before the start of construction, and induce the real estate to take the initiative to work. When the building was halfway through, all kinds of demands were put forward, and at that time it had to be built and slaughtered. Now Wang Shao's so-called victory is nothing more than that"

A big victory in a foreign war that has not been won in decades is exchanged for such comments from department leaders, can you be angry? Fortunately, Emperor Shenzong spoke, and knocked Wen Yanbo dumb, "May I ask Aiqing, don't you repair the house if it is broken?"

The ministers of the Song Dynasty, specifically Wen Yanbo during the Shenzong period, reacted to the emperor's anger - silence! I have something to say, but I don't say it! As long as there is no shortage of wages and subsidies at home, I can't be angry with you!

It looks very peaceful and elegant, but the problem is not solved at all! A mental skill like Wen Yanbo's is super deep and unfathomable. As a result, this has formed a general atmosphere in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty - on the surface, hello, I am good, everyone is good, but you can do it, you do it, I do my own set. Anyway, the ministers of the Song Dynasty are not guilty of capital crimes, and they will not be killed if they do not cooperate. In this kind of atmosphere, it is difficult to do a major task of revitalizing the country!

This can also be refuted: the necessity of "easy customs, legislative degree" that Wang Anshi said at the beginning can be imagined...

At the end of the month, the 10th new law, the Fangtian Average Tax Law, was introduced. A large amount of the country's land is controlled by big bureaucratic landlords, who hide it and evade taxes. In 1021, the cultivated land in the country had reached more than 5.24 million hectares, and by 1053 by Renzong, there were only more than 2.28 million hectares. Although it was rectified, by the year 1066 of Yingzong, it only reached more than 4.4 million hectares. Land leakage is very serious. Wang Anshi tried to solve this problem. It is stipulated that from September to March of the following year, during the agricultural slack season, the county officials of each county shall preside over the measurement of land in the whole county. The land is divided into 5 classes according to the fertility. Taxes are paid based on the amount and grade of land. It was piloted on Jingdong Road, and then promoted to all roads across the country...

But this decree was repeatedly blocked by the bureaucratic landlords. From this point on. It took nearly 13 years, and by the death of Song Shenzong in 1085, more than 2.5 million hectares of land were measured. It accounts for about half of the total taxable land in the country. And with the death of Shenzong and the assumption of power by Empress Dowager Gao, Fang Tian's tax law was also abolished in a very short period of time, along with all other new laws of Wang Anshi...

On October 23, Song Shenzong issued an order: Xihe Road. Under the jurisdiction of Xi, He, Tao, Min 4 prefectures and the Qingyuan Army (of course: He, Tao, Min, as well as the future Huang, Kuo, Xining and other prefectures, have not been included in the Great Song Dynasty territory at this time) with Wang Shao as the strategy to pacify the envoy and know Xizhou.

On November 8, Blind Medicine surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty. Give the name of the contract.

On the 27th, Shaanxi was divided into Yongxing and Qinfeng 2 roads (this refers to Caosi Road in the economic sense. In the military sense, the Shuaisi Road, the whole Shaanxi is divided into 6 roads: Yongxing has jurisdiction over Yongxing Army, Yanyan, and Huanqing 3 roads. Qinfeng has jurisdiction over Qinfeng, Jingyuan, Xihe 3 roads)

Wang Shao played well, but we can no longer look to the northwest. First, Wang Shao's fighting was suspended, and he had to digest the land that had just been annexed, or rather reclaimed. Second. The battlefields of the Song Dynasty did not stop there. It's not even just two, three. The Shenzong Dynasty is like going back in time. returned to the era of Zhao Kuangyin in the early Song Dynasty. Keep fighting, restore the country, and correct the name of China's great power! The year 1072 was a watershed moment for the Reformers! If they can't get good results, the new laws will really become 100% rampant! The essence of short-term effect and long-term harm will be exposed! If the battle is won, everything is easy to say! How easy is it to say? Not to mention that the Han people in the Hehuang area have lost more than 200 years and have long become a foreign land, and they have temporarily ignored the lofty mountains and mountains of Jinghu Nanban, which are all difficulties that can be overcome. At that time, the real danger of the Great Song Dynasty was not in the northwest and southwest, or even in the Western Xia. And in the north!

According to the steps of the new party to destroy the enemy, it is Hehuang - Western Xia - Great Liao State. Start with simplicity and ease. Until the most reinstated recovering Yanyun and surrendering the Khitan! The plan is quite good, but it also depends on whether the people of Liao are willing or not, right? During this time, the Liao State was ready to move on the border, and the border patrol soldiers had crossed the Juma River! This is the traditional border of Song and Liao, as long as the Liao army dares to attack, the Song Dynasty will be attacked on all sides and will collapse in the blink of an eye! In this case, the Song army from all walks of life began to take the initiative! Difficult and dangerous, naturally the battle of Hehuang was the first to be attacked by Wang Shao. In addition to him, Zhang Dian also worked hard in the south...

The Southwest Yi rebellion on Jinghu North Road. In the south of the Yangtze River during the Song Dynasty, there have always been ethnic minorities living in the deep mountains and old forests. The Nong Zhigao rebellion in front is just one of them, and the level of chaos is very large. In addition to him, some ethnic minorities along the Yangtze River are in a smaller disorder, but they are very traditional and enduring.

Specifically, it is a large area west of Changsha and north of Shaoyang, headed by Meishan. There is inconvenient transportation, different races, five generations and ten kingdoms are in chaos, and this place is occupied by barbarians. In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng, and Zhao Zhen were dragged to work all their lives by the Liao State and Western Xia, and naturally threw this small place aside, and simply classified it as a forbidden area, called "Forbidden Plum Mountain", and the surrounding Han people were forbidden to have any contact with the barbarians. This is a special area, although it is within the territory of the Song Dynasty, but it is not under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. Anyone with a little brain understands that in the long run, something will happen sooner or later! But as long as it's none of their business, all the officials of the Great Song Dynasty turn a blind eye to it...

The result of this is that the barbarians see the cheapness. The world outside is very exciting, why don't you go out to grab it? What's more, with Nong Zhigao's glorious achievements as an example, why don't you rebel?

The situation forced the Song Dynasty to send troops to quell the rebellion, and before this time, the most recent one was led by Pan Mei's troops from Sun Pan Shu to suppress it, breaking through 90 barbarian regiments in Shaozhou. Ninety regiments are actually 90 small villages, and the average number of people in each village will not exceed 100. And that place is deep in the mountains, old forests, and ravines. When the officers and soldiers arrived, it was not a question of how to fight, but a question of being able to find someone to fight first. When the officers and soldiers came, the barbarians went into the mountains. The officers and soldiers left, and went out to continue to make trouble. The strategy of the great leader of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was understood by everyone long ago...

At this time, there was civil strife in the Meishan area, including the barbarians near Chenzhou, and their chiefs were too cruel to treat their own people as human beings. Many barbarians yearn for the benevolent life of the Great Song Dynasty and ask for it. Should we seize this opportunity? In essence, this is a rotten plaster, which is always attached to the Song Dynasty, and sooner or later it will suppurate! But is it time to uncover it? At this time, it was the time for Wang Shao to move to the northwest and conquer Wusheng, and it was reasonable to start a war in the northwest and southwest at the same time? All kinds of questions hovered in Wang Anshi's mind. The prime minister of a country, every move involves the safety and death of the empire.

He finally decided to win the war as soon as possible! To this end, he sent his cronies, the backbone of the New Party, Zhangdun! Prior to this, Zhang Dian had been working in the Regulation Department of the Third Division, and was a talented person engaged in the economy, and he took office to quell the rebellion, no matter from which point of view, it was Wang Anshi who was abusing his power for personal gain.

In the beginning, no one knew what kind of person Zhang Dian was. To be honest, even Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong didn't see it, they were all taken aback by him. He went, and the first move was very formal, didn't the intelligence say that the barbarians wanted to surrender inside? Very good! Send someone to appease you! One is to understand the truth, and the other is to take advantage of the situation to pull people back!

It turned out that it was not the attached barbarians who returned, but the heads of the two envoys he had sent. The two of them didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong, and when they arrived at the barbarian ground, they didn't go to the suffering representatives of the masses first, but first appeased the local women's representatives... Isn't this looking for death! People are looking forward to the stars and the moon, but they are looking forward to two official hooligans!

So the barbarians were furious and cut these two bastards for the Song Dynasty! Then the situation took a turn for the worse, and there was no way to clean it up! Originally, he brought poor and suffering foreign brothers into the city, but it turned out to be a rebellion... And when the news reached the capital, Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi were also stupid. Zhangdun, although you were allowed to lead the troops, you didn't say that you would fight! That's to prevent the barbarian chieftain from getting angry! Now it's a big deal, don't mess around again!

Song Shenzong said, "I doubt that Zhang Dian has seriously carried out the order," Wang Anshi shook his head, "Zhang Dian is still credible, but he must be steady, don't act rashly", it turns out that they really don't know Zhang Tun. How tough and daring this person is, in the entire Song Dynasty history for more than 300 years, it is second to none!

The soldiers of Zhang Dun killed the past in three ways! How can there be so much verbosity! History will prove: when Zhang Dian is angry, no matter who the other party is, Su Shi, Sima Guang, or even Song Shenzong, Shenzong's mother, and Shenzong's wife, no one can think about it! (To be continued......)
