Chapter 140: The North Wind (2)
Volume 2 Bianliang Mistake Chapter 140 North Wind Scroll (2)
December 28 of the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, Taiyuan Mansion.
At this time, the important town in the east of the river here is a lively scene before the arrival of the New Year.
The cities of the Great Song Dynasty are so carved and boundless, and there is no strict system of alleys and alleys. There are residential areas everywhere, but also commercial areas everywhere. Taiyuan is also average.
Even if the weather is cold, it has only snowed heavily. The streets and alleys are still full of people. Needless to say, I usually sit in a shop pΓΉ, a cloth and silk shop, a grain shop, a dried fruit shop, and a shop that sells miscellaneous utensils. It's all business booming. In the past year, everyone's life has been a little tight, but they are usually embarrassed, and the New Year cannot be embarrassed. I always had to buy some cloth and silk and go back to buy new clothes, and if I couldn't afford them, I had to change them into new shoes. On the day of the New Year, there is always something new to borrow.
However, the most lively businesses are still selling mutton, selling Tusu wine, and selling firecrackers.
On the New Year's Day, it is natural to eat slots. That is, dumplings in later generations. The origin and what it is no longer possible to delve into it. But at this moment it is already the custom of the Great Song Dynasty. The Song people valued mutton and cheap pork. Hedong borders the north, and there is no shortage of mutton, and the price is not very expensive. Even if you boil some sauce to accompany the meal on weekdays, even if you stop, the mutton in this Zhengdan slot must be enough. Every butcher shop was so crowded that people couldn't turn around, and people handed money over their heads. The butcher and the men who beat them were sweating profusely. The thick clothes on his body were replaced by thin ones, so thin that he wanted to peel them off.
The custom of drinking Tusu wine is more ancient, and brewing Tusu wine is not a waste of anything. In the city of Taiyuan Prefecture, in addition to sitting merchants, there are also sellers everywhere who brew Tusu wine. A corner of the corner was beaten to the people who came to buy wine. The air was filled with a strange aroma of rhubarb and peppercorns.
As for firecrackers, not to mention, the most favorite firecrackers in the entire Great Song Dynasty is the Great Song Dynasty Banzhong. What kind of high-level things like medicine puppets appeared because of the Ying Fengtian family. If something is good, the next will follow. Firecracker shops are also thriving. The people of the Great Song Dynasty, who love to play and love to be lively, may be more interested in firecrackers than eating slots and drinking Tusu wine. Outside the shop, there are already several floors.
The situation has not been very good in recent years, and the war against Yan has also affected the land east of the river. Now it is rumored that the Jurchen Dynasty Liao. The people of the Great Song Dynasty also had a simple understanding of this change in the international situation. It turns out that the Khitans are well-fed wolves, and everyone borders, and they have lived in peace over the years. The Jurchen Tartars followed, but they were a hungry wolf, and they were only afraid of many things in the future.
Since the future prospects are not too optimistic, it is better to seize this last quiet time and have a good time. Not to mention that there are faint rumors circulating in the market now, saying that there are soldiers in the states of Yunnei. said that if there was a Liao princess who raised an army, the Jurchens were going south. This war happened close to the east of the river! The city gate caught fire, affecting the fish in the pond. Even if everyone is far away in Taiyuan, those states and counties at the northern foot of Wutai Mountain are about to suffer. And who knows, how long can Taiyuan be guaranteed here?
There is such a rumor that there is a feeling that the future days are not too many in the city of Taiyuan Prefecture, and everyone should hurry up and eat, drink and spend money on the upcoming New Year's Day of Xuanhe. At the turn of the year, Taiyuan Fucheng had a sick prosperity.
The Hedong pacification embassy is located on Tangming Street in the center of the city. Hedong pacification envoy, Wu Min, an important minister of the capital that day. In the middle of last month, I finally arrived in Taiyuan slowly. The pacification of Hedong has not been set up for a long time, and Wu Min has nothing to seal and explain. Although he knows Taiyuan Mansion, at this moment, Taiyuan Mansion has long been known from the Tang Dynasty that the Great Song Dynasty was founded, with many counties, extremely heavy garrisons, and complicated things. Although the geographical location is still very important, there is not much government affairs, and it is just in time for the sealing season. Wu Min didn't do anything when he arrived here, but he met his subordinates, and looked at some places near the left, the weather was too cold and he was not in the mood to visit. These days, he simply works as an otaku in the government office. After the seal, it was even quieter. Many people have forgotten that there is such a newly established Hedong pacification envoy.
The subordinates also know a little about it, and this boss is said to have planted a big heel in Dumen. There is no place in the world that can compare to Bianliang, let him be here, how can he be energetic?
At this moment, in a small building in the backyard of the pacification embassy office. Wu Min was having a drinking party and chatting with a few henchmen who were brought to Taiyuan. A warm curtain was set up on the small building, and a charcoal basin was set up. The building is warm and spring-like. Several maids stood with their heads bowed. The scene after the snow, although it has a different view. But thinking of the lively scene in Bianliang at the moment, several people present were a little unmotivated. Even if the staff insisted on saying something funny, Wu Min seemed a little lazy.
After drinking a glass of Tusu wine, Wu Min held up the corner of the open warm curtain, and the cold wind blew in, which lifted his spirits. Looking around, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that this place is no longer the weather of Xiongcheng in the past!" β
This sentence comes from the fact that Hedong Road is the spine of the world, and Taiyuan controls the entire Hedong Road. Crossing the river to the west is to enter the land of Guanzhong, and Li Yuan used this to establish the Tang Empire. Heading south, it was directed to the Central Plains, and after the center of Chinese rule gradually shifted eastward, it had a condescending advantage. Liu Zhiyuan took this opportunity to establish the Later Han Dynasty. From the Later Zhou Dynasty to the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, entrenched in Taiyuan, and the Northern Han Dynasty, which attracted the Liao people as aid, became a huge threat to the Great Song Dynasty. Two generations of emperors personally conquered and took out the strength to eat milk, and they were able to lay down this heroic city.
After breaking Taiyuan, in order to maintain the ancestral system of strong and weak branches. The Great Song Dynasty, which suffered a lot in Taiyuan, not only burned it, but also completely destroyed the old city of Taiyuan.
Three years later, in order to prepare for the defense of Liao, the Great Song Dynasty had to restore Taiyuan. However, the new city was built thirty miles northeast of the old city, separated by the Fen River. In the past, the circumference was forty-two miles, the city gate was twenty-four, the city wall was several zhang high, and the majestic city covered with huge stones could only be stored in memory. At this moment, Taiyuan New Town, the city is not more than a zhang high, and it is all rammed earth and has not been covered with bricks. The perimeter of the city wall is only eleven miles, and only the gates are open everywhere.
Speaking of which, if Taiyuan was still Xiongcheng back then, Wu Min's love would be higher. This now only exacerbates his frustration.
When bidding farewell to the capital, Wu Min swore an oath. When Geng Nanzhong and Yu Wenxu said that they wanted to make a career here, they echoed the central brothers. Firmly watch the Shenwu Changsheng army on the border.
But everyone will say beautiful words, and when they really come here, Wu Min only feels that he can't keep his spirits up.
He was the pacification envoy of Hedong Road and the governor of Taiyuan Mansion.
Needless to say, Taiyuan Mansion was under the deliberate restriction of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and it governed Yangqu County. How much can be done, how much power can there be?
The pacification of the Hedong Road was more focused on military affairs, and nominally had the power to command all the armies of the entire Hedong Road. But on the west side of Hedong Road, those military horses belonging to the Western Army. But he would never listen to the command of his pacifier. Wu Min won't be bored with himself.
The army that was originally used to prepare Liao at the time of the founding of the country has long since been scattered. Within the scope of Wu Min, the forbidden army was added together, and I don't know if there are 20,000 people. Without military horses to command and command, there is no power and prestige. Naturally, the benefits that come with this power will not be there. At this moment, even the guards on duty to pacify the embassy were brought over by Wu Min from Bianliang!
People here, far away from the center of Bianliang, looking north, are all steep and desolate mountains, people here, really discouraged.
Hearing Wu Min sigh, there was a lot of decadence in his tone. A staff member explained: "Xianggong, Hedong Road is still Xiongzhen after all, although the weather is no longer what it used to be. However, the DPRK and China gradually began to pick up the defense of the Hedong and Hebei roads. Although the prince goes out, the saint and the princes of the court still value the prince............ After a little delay here, Xianggong will definitely be able to return to the capital and enter the two mansions again, and the students will borrow a cup of Tusu here to congratulate Xianggong. β
Several staff members were brought out by Wu Min from the capital. For they were all sent in the western provinces. Of course, they are all members of the same party. After Wu Min went, Xiao Yan was the deputy capital of Xifu, and everyone felt that there was no taste, so it was better to go to Hedong with Wu Min. Wu Min was the pacification envoy of Hedong, of course, he could set up a staff, but the staff system of the Great Song Dynasty was not the kind of master of the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, who held heavy power for the officials in his private name, and the imperial court system was not binding on him.
As a Shangguan, you can ask someone to work in your office, but you also have to send a mission in Hedong to pacify the embassy, and the bureaucracy can still control your staff. After accumulating merit, it is also normal to promote and circulate in this bureaucratic system.
These staff members are much warmer than Wu Min's. They are in the prime of life, and they can be regarded as accumulating seniority when they come to Hedong. Do something, and the rotation of the beam still has to be raised. Wu Min is so decadent, they don't want to see it, and they want to cheer him up, so that he can make some career and plan for the future.
Wu Min smiled reluctantly, drank a glass of Tusu wine, glanced at the staff, and said with a wry smile: "There is a letter in the Dumen, and there is a rumor of the revival of Mr. Liang Xi, when the time comes, who will remember this big measure?" If you miss one step, you will fall step by step, and then return to the two mansions, I am afraid that it will be hopeless in this life! β
This is said sadly, and it is indeed what Wu Min thinks now. He is like this now, on the one hand, although Hedong has nothing to do now. The degree of pleasure is also worse than that of Bianliang to the sky. On the other hand, there is a rumor from Dumen, saying that it is to resurrect Li Gang!
Wu Min knew about his own party affairs, after Zhao Ji and Cai Jing joined forces to destroy it. The old party has not had an important person who can calm the scene and stabilize the position for a long time. A few years ago, he Wu Min was already a headboard. As Cai Jing grew old, Zhao Jijun's power became heavier, and he gradually had the intention of reusing the old party. Wu Min did not have the ambition to be the leader of the old party and grasp the meaning of the situation in the DPRK and China.
As a result, in Xiao Yan's hands, this fall made his nose blue and his face swollen, and he came to Hedong Road gloomily. The princes of the court, if there is a new person, forget the old person. Now I want to bring out that Li Gang, who has an upright temper but is the hope of the world!
At the turn of the fifth or sixth year of Xuanhe, the original political pattern of the Great Song Dynasty could no longer be maintained, and something had to change. At this time, people with a good reputation and those who have the hope of the world will be valued twice as much by the officials. Li Gang is above the hope of the world, and no one in the old party can surpass him. Wu Min can even imagine that when Li Gang really returns to Bianliang, he will definitely be in the limelight for a while! The people in the old party naturally gathered under them and used this signboard to rise to the top in the DPRK.
He Wu Min is secluded in Hedong, so how can he compete with Li Gang?
In this world, there is a saying that people go to tea and cool. He is in Bianliang and is always immersed, so that others will think of him Wu Min. People are far away in Hedong, the situation in the DPRK and China is changing, and the qiΔ that he has operated in the DPRK and China over the years will disappear in a short time!
After a few years in Hedong, according to the normal promotion and circulation of court officials, it is also possible to return to Bianliang and Wu Min. But it is difficult to hope for re-entry into the two provinces. I am already a person in my sixties, and I don't have much time for my career. I can't afford to wait, and I can't afford to stay up. People who have stayed in the position of envoys in the Western Mansion, and then receive any other sends, are all boring.
According to the practice of the Great Song Dynasty, people have to come and go in the positions of the two governments several times before they can be called important ministers. However, if there is a major matter in the court, these important ministers must be consulted at any time. Once the situation is unstable, it is these important ministers who are used to calm people's hearts. No matter where you are, the DPRK and China will always send envoys to ask about daily life, give medicine in hot weather, and give charcoal in cold weather. Every three-year suburban festival, the grace is the first one. The children of the family are in the middle of the dynasty, and then they are integrated with those families by marriage, and they will be firmly with this great Song Dynasty.
As a Wenchen doctor, when it comes to this part, it can be regarded as living up to his life. It has always been the direction that Wu Min has been striving for since he served as an official.
Now all this is a qiΔ, and there is no need to mention it anymore.
At this moment, there is a kind of affection, which is called discouragement.
When bidding farewell to the capital, Wu Min could still hold a little pampering and not being shocked. At this moment, in Hedong's own small world, there is no need to hide this disappointment and decadence.
Several staff members looked at Wu Min's posture and glanced at each other, all shaking their heads in their hearts. However, they are all people made by Wu Min, and the officialdom talks about taking sides. They have been clearly branded as associated with Wu Min. and he are really a prosperous and lossy relationship. For the sake of his own future, he also has to cheer up this Wu Xianggong.
One of the staff members groaned and smiled: "Why should the prime minister be like this? I haven't been of great use over the years, and my generation is actually lacking. A Mr. Liang Xi, even if he has the hope of the world, can carry all the burdens? Moreover, it seems that the use of saints now requires actual performance............ If the military affairs are corrupted, there is no question of it, so there is a move to reorganize the forbidden army. The erosion of financial planning cannot be asked, so there is a move to sort out financial plans and set up Bianliang. That Nanlaizi was a little biased in these two things, and he suddenly became popular. If Xianggong made some achievements on Hedong Road, how could he not think of Xianggong when the saint was diligently seeking treatment at this time? If Xianggong can really tidy up a town in Hedong, and he has a great influence on this Ping Domain, that is, the princes of the court and the central government, how can he not rely on Xianggong? β
This staff member is really a bit talented, and in a short period of time, he can sort out a watertight rhetoric. Let Wu Mindu listen attentively and cheer up a little.
Everyone knows that the Great Song Dynasty has formed a fairly stable pattern and ruling mode in the past ten years. At the turn of the fifth or sixth year of Xuanhe, it was already fragmented, causing smoke and fire everywhere in the Great Song Dynasty, and it could no longer be maintained. In the past ten years, the leading figures who have presided over the pattern of the DPRK and China have either been old and sick or have gone to power, and they have withered.
Now there is a rising Jurchen outside, and the defense in the north is empty. Internally, the financial situation is in dire straits, and the Western Army is sitting on a large scale. The Metropolitan Forbidden Army has been completely reduced to a mess. The situation of the DPRK must change if it does not want to change.
When the situation changes, on the one hand, there is a need for a person who has the hope of the world, at least a moral benchmark. It can be used as a stabilizing force in the changes in the DPRK situation. The sage's reuse of Cai Jing is to use the strong influence he left behind, and there is a rumor of reviving Li Gang, which is to use this moral benchmark.
On the other hand, it is necessary for someone to do things and show results to actually implement these changes. The two-pronged approach can only be used to maintain the rule of the Great Song Dynasty without major changes (the latest chapter of the martial arts http://wWw.23hH.coM
wWw.23hH.coM) to perfunctory the current crisis.
In the process, a new pattern and a new way of ruling were naturally formed. There will be a new group of people who will rise. In a few decades, it will usher in a new round of changes. If it can be passed safely, the national honor will be extended for another few decades. If not, it may be time for the Ding Revolution. It has been since 2,000 years in history.
The meaning of this staff member's words is that you, Wu Min and Wu Xianggong, can't compete with Li Gang to make this signboard, why don't you start on the actual performance? Xiao Yan's return to the south, if it weren't for the amazing performance of the people, how could they get to today's status? Your Wu Xianggong's foundation is harder than Xiao Yan's son from the south, as long as you can make some achievements, it is also a matter of course to return to the two mansions.
Wu Min thought for a while, then put down the wine cup in his hand, pointed at the staff member who had a flexible brain and eloquence, and said with a smile: "Cun Zhongzhong, don't you want to cheer up, limit and weaken the Shenwu Victorious Army, and really hold it in your hands?" β
The staff member's surname is Lu, and he is a member of the Lu family in Guanzhong. With the word line, it is in storage. is less than thirty years old, and he is stuck at the critical juncture of electing officials to court officials, and his mind is the hottest. It is indeed a matter of exhaustion to consider how Wu Min Hedong should behave. At this time, it seems that some words are useful, but at the moment he just smiled and said nothing, indicating acquiescence.
When he came to Hedong, one of Wu Min's important responsibilities was to limit and weaken the Shenwu Changsheng army. But he didn't make any moves, one was that he had only come for a short time, and he had caught up with the Zhengdan seal, so he didn't have time to do anything. The second is that Wu Min is really a little unmotivated. In his mind, in such a remote place as the east side of the river, the funds for opening a town in the hands of the Shenwu Changsheng Army are ridiculously small, even if Xiao Yan secretly supports a little, what big waves can be turned over? If one lacks food, they can be stuck. There is no need to be so ugly, but he has lost his minister's bearing.
However, this Lu Cunzhong turned out a fresh trick in this calculation, asking him to really take the Shenwu Changsheng Army in his hands and re-operate Hedong into a strong town. With this help, return to the capital and take charge of the two mansions!
At this moment in the Great Song Dynasty, the central military strength is really lacking to the extreme. If he, Wu Min, can master and influence a strong army, thinking that the balance of the western army is contained, how can that high-ranking saint not be reused with him? And he has strength in his hands, compared to Li Gang, who completely relies on his reputation and reputation, he is afraid that he will go further in the future.
At this time, even Wu Min, a scholar and doctor, faintly felt that the world was about to change. The importance of military ministers and men has far exceeded that of before. Lu Cunzhong's words really made him feel like a basin of cold water splashed on his head in winter. The whole person was in good spirits.
He sat up straight, his fingers .xzsj8. unconsciously tapped on a few cases, and muttered, "How on earth can this be to hold the Shenwu Everlasting Army in the hands of a certain person?" β
The official asked, and the staff members at the bottom naturally did their best and came up with ideas one by one. The Great Song Dynasty has a long history of controlling martial arts with literature, and this means are naturally everything, and anyone can pick out a few. The small building, which was a little deserted just now, suddenly became lively.
In the end, Lu Cunzhong, who had been picked today, summed up, and he smiled brightly: "It's nothing more than making a fuss about the baggage, there are more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 mules and horses in the Shenwu Changsheng Army." Every day, people eat horses and chew horses, which is a big number. How much food can there be in the wilderness of the borderland? Recently, the students also heard the rumors that the two generals of the Shenwu Changsheng Army are trying their best to buy grain, how big are they, and how much grain and grass can they buy? Stuck on this, hungry and hungry panicked them! After the beginning of the year, Xianggong moved a little in Dumen and transferred hundreds of thousands of stones of grain and grass to Taiyuan Mansion. When the time comes, I will use this as bait, so that the Shenwu Changsheng Army will come over and eat! These soldiers, who were hungry and frightened in winter, did not come obediently. Then send some military ministers to come over and prepare, and if you come to one department, you will train one and insert our people into it. Don't count months, the Shenwu Victorious Army is in the pocket of the Xianggong!
β¦β¦β¦β¦ Although the strategy is simple, it is a grand policy, and there are no loopholes. The most important thing is this winter. From the south of Taiyuan, in the heart of Hedong, do not transfer a bucket of grain and rice, a bunch of forage to this Shenwu Changsheng army! If you want to eat enough and have enough troops, you can only be within the scope of the public! β
The key to using literature to control military force lies in logistics. In all dynasties, as long as the civilian government commands the army, it is this mental method. Lu Cunzhong's plan is indeed simple, but it is also effective.
The Shenwu Changsheng Army opened the eastern edge of the town river, although the military expenditure of the town was pitiful. However, it is necessary to supply grain and grass in full for the branches. The people above and in the middle will not go too far. It turned out that letting Wu Min keep an eye on the Shenwu Changsheng Army was to let him jam the Shenwu Changsheng Army in terms of funds, so that this soldier and horse could not sit in the local government. If possible, add a slight deduction to the grain and grass.
Without money and not much food and grass, the Shenwu Victorious Army will not be able to expand its strength. But if you want to operate the border defense system, you can only stick to your own old book. The compensation did not occur, and among the first army, those generals naturally had different aspirations, and they could naturally sit back and wait for the whole army to be divided and weakened. to the point where you can reassure the princes of the DPRK and China.
At this moment, Lu Cunzhong's construction is much more poisonous than the original policy. Even the grain and grass that sustains life, don't give it to the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army!
ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½
As soon as these words came out, everyone present turned a little blue.
Wu Min pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "The army is clamoring, what can I do?" β
Lu Cunzhong responded quickly: "The generals of the Shenwu Victory Army, most of them are people from all walks of life in Shaanxi, and their families are all in the Great Song Dynasty, they are clamoring, do they want to vote for the Jurchen?" β
This is where the confidence of the literati to block the logistics of the warriors in peacetime lies. Do you want to be a rebel if you want to make a noise, or even rebel? Where do you go with your family in the middle of the country? The Great Song Dynasty was quite lenient to the military, and in the Ming Dynasty, for many years, food and salary were not paid to the border army, and there were soldiers who sold their sons and daughters, and their wives who were prostitutes. It's not a year after year of hardship. At most, they will pay for their salaries, or they will mourn to the court. There are really fewer rebellions, and there are still more people who bow down to Wenchen.
Such means, in troubled times, are naturally not farts. However, under the strong inertia of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, although Lu Cunzhong's means of plotting for Wu Min were very extreme, no one here would have thought that the Shenwu Changsheng Army could really raise a banner to rebel. As long as you throw it over and obediently accept Wu Min's constraints, won't you have food to eat? Maybe they can also take care of it in terms of funds, and once they become military generals, they may not have the opportunity to continue to be promoted and make a fortune in the system.
Wu Min muttered again: "The military general will mourn the capital, what can I do?" β
Lu Cunzhong sneered: "The princes of the court, how can there be a reason to look at these generals but not to the princes?" β
If Wu Min really resorted to this method, it would naturally be a big violation of the laws of the imperial court. There was no reason why the Great Song Dynasty did not give grain and grass to the border guards. The Shenwu Changsheng Army wants to sue, and it is justifiable. But the words are also divided into two ends. The imperial court did not want to see this army of divine warriors and victories, and its methods have always been to limit and weaken. Wu Min really wants to do such a desperate job, and the DPRK and China may still be happy to see it. While perfunctory, let the two ends of the pen and ink lawsuit. Before the DPRK and China could make any decisions, maybe the Shenwu Changsheng Army was already hungry and obediently went to Taiyuan to eat and accept the reorganization.
If Wu Min really acted like this, it would be nothing more than the means used by the imperial court to restrict and weaken the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, to the point of being the most ruthless, the most absolutely and the most shameless!
If it is placed in the political dispute between scholars and doctors, it will be so shameless and extremely vicious. He didn't dare to give Wu Min dozens of dares. But in the face of more than 10,000 unpopular military warriors, the front is based on the temptation to return to the capital and re-enter the two mansions. Wu Min is really a little tempted.
In the small building, several staff members watched Wu Min's face turn blue and pale. No one said a word. Everyone had different expressions, some such as Lu Cunzhong, who were eager, couldn't help but grit their teeth and work hard for Wu Min. Some of them looked frightened and shook their heads secretly. I feel that this move is too forbearable and too unscrupulous.
Wu Min pondered for a long time, and his determination was still difficult. Although the world is declining, the law is lax. The heroic founders of the country are long gone. Even a few decades ago, the demeanor of famous ministers such as Da Fan and Xiao Fan, Fu Han Ergong, and Ma Guang of the Bad Picture Company can only be caught up in dreams. However, the temperament cultivated by Dr. Song Shi and Jun in the world for more than 100 years still has some residual charm.
As a Wenchen of the Great Song Dynasty, he sang it outside the Donghua Gate. I still think about taking the world as my own responsibility. It's not 100 percent for the sake of one's own power.
Intrigue is okay, and it is not uncommon to get to the top by luck. It is true that he has always looked down on Wuchen and added all kinds of suppression. But Da Song never thought that he was hungry for his own border guards! Let others fight, let others bow down in front of their own homes, but they must be fed?
When the Great Song Dynasty was in charge of the Western Army, the strongest armed group, he led the army to kill well-known generals like a dog. When Han Qi led the Western Army, he wanted to kill Jiao Yong, a heavy general under Di Wuxiang, and he would kill him if he said he would kill it. Di Wuxiang interceded and suffered a lot of humiliation. The reason is nothing more than to deter the military ministers.
Rao is like this, and the Great Song Wenchen also supplied the Western Army with a bucket of grain and rice and a bunch of forage. On weekdays, the army was paid, and the reward was given. Wenchen's fortune is not on this, but the generals eat the empty quota to make a lot of money.
Lu Cunzhong's construction made Wu Min feel a little chilled. There is no other reason, he still wants face.
Lu Cunzhong watched Wu Min groaning there for a long time, and the fiery thoughts just now quietly cooled down. When I calmed down and thought about it, a layer of cold sweat oozed from the vest. If the plan he is planning is spread out, he is also a scholar and doctor, what should he think of him? One is cold-hearted, but I'm afraid I won't be able to run. My career is probably the end of it. At the moment, he didn't dare to say anything more to force Wu Min to make up his mind, and sat up straight with his eyes and nose and nose.
After a long time, Wu Min finally spoke: "Too forbearing, too forbearing!" β
When a staff member who had been quietly listening heard that Lu Cunzhong was offering advice, he held back his stomach and wanted to speak. It's just that Shangguan was groaning there, not daring to make a sound to disturb. Hearing that Wu Min seemed to have changed his tone, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes............ Mrs. Truly............ It's too forbearing! Guarding the edge and the side............ Soldiers, how can you forbid ............ Forbidden? No, no, no............ Needless to say, it's still now, it's still there, it's still windy............ sound, the remnants of the Liao people are thriving............ Rise, the wind spreads that the Jurchen is really true............ Also south............ South............ South! β
This staff member is almost forty years old, with a chubby and gratifying face, and his official appearance is good. It's a pity that he is a stutterer, in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, the stuttering generation has no great future. These words were said with difficulty, and everyone around them was sweating profusely when they heard it.
Wu Min listened patiently to what he said, and was immediately shocked: "What? The rise of the remnants of the Liao people? The Wind Rumor Jurchen is going south? Frankly, where did this start? β
This fat staff member looked at Wu Min with an innocent face, his name is Liu Ping, and his name is frank. Although he is also a top three jinshi, he is really a loss of stuttering. In his forties, he was still an elected officer, and he was on a mission in the Privy Council. Because he is a little close to Wu Min's family, he can be regarded as a confidant. Wu Min went to the throne, and his stutter continued to be sent in the privy council has no taste, and it is even more difficult to mix without care. simply went to Hedong with Wu Min.
Even in the Hedong pacification embassy, he didn't have any important assignments, but he received an idle position. Liu Ping knows his own family affairs, and his career is very limited. There are not many scholars and doctors, and they like to linger in the market. Looking at what business can be done, maybe it will be mixed in. Life is very passable.
When Wu Min arrived in Hedong, the time was short and his mood was depressed. There was no patrol at all, and there was no customary style collection of new officials. A few staff members have to be used in the same way. It's just that Liu Ping is safe when he comes, and he is very confused in the market for a while. Recently, the remnants of the Liao people, who had only begun to spread rumors, rose up in Yunnei Prefectures, and the Jurchen army went south to quell the chaos, and even had to go straight to Hedong Road.
Han Shizhong sent an envoy to contact Xiao Yan, although in the name of passing on military information, there was no military information transmitted to the cardinal. It's just the sound of the wind along the way. The DPRK has not heard the slightest movement yet, but at least the rumors have risen on this Hedong Road. Liu Ping had only heard about it for a short time, and he hadn't had time to report back to Wu Min. Today, I heard Lu Cunzhong's suggestion to starve down the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and let him fall within Wu Min's range. Immediately, he was so anxious that his face was red and his ears were red, and he was an eloquent person who was inconvenient to give, and he also held back the white sweat of his head. Only then did he say it, and it immediately alarmed everyone in the small building.
Lu Cunzhong also reacted very quickly, and looked at Liu Ping, who he had always looked down on: "Brother Tan, this matter is big, you can tell me in detail!" β
Several people looked at him, and Liu Ping's head was sweating more. The more I wanted to talk, the more I stammered, and my fat face turned red. Wu Min handed him a glass of Tusu wine, and said warmly: "Tanzhi, don't worry. None of them are outsiders here, and no one will laugh at you. Don't be afraid of long conversations, listen carefully. β
With Wu Min's encouragement, Liu Ping struggled to speak. The words were reversed, and he stammered and squeezed it out. I almost vomited blood. I finally poured out everything I heard. After finishing speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't stop wiping his sweat. Then I couldn't help but regret it, it was better to write down these words, it was faster than my own words!
I look at fifty people, and my vitality is precious, and I should cherish my blessings and cultivate my body. With so much sweat today, I don't know how much medicinal food I need to use to make up for it.
While regretting and at the same time, he is at ease, he is a kind-hearted person. The soldiers who were starving for the forbidden grain and rice could not accept it. Now that we know that the eastern edge of the river is unstable. Wu Xianggong doesn't have to adopt this strategy.
To Liu Ping's surprise, Wu Min and Lu Cunzhong glanced at each other, and their faces were pale!
The atmosphere in the small building was immediately solemn. Liu Pingrao has limited talent in this, and he also feels that something is wrong. A fat face looked left and right, not knowing how his words had touched the hornet's nest.
There was a loud bang, but Wu Min almost used all his strength to slap the cases in front of him. The wine cup full of Tu Su wine on the desk jumped up and landed on the ground, and there was another clang. The original quiet and leisurely in the small building will be completely broken.
"Ill-intentioned, don't do it!"
Wu Min gritted his teeth and provoked these words from between his teeth. The poisonous meaning in the semantics simply seeps into the bone marrow!
Lu Cunzhong also had a cold face, and opened his mouth to echo: "Wait, national thief ear!" β
Since he is going to Hedong, he is the pacification envoy of Hedong. The topography of the mountains and rivers in the east of the river, the Jurchen military horses that rise in front of you are virtual and real, you must always know something. Wu Min went out from the position of deputy privy envoy again. The military information that can be obtained is naturally the most detailed in the Great Song Dynasty.
Even if the Privy Council of the Great Song Dynasty has long existed in name only, but Hedong has a general military situation in person, and Wu Min will always know it wrong. Yelu Yanxi's army was captured, and Wanyan Zonghan led the main force of the Western Route Army to turn around. Only a few thousand Jurchen troops were left to guard the area of Datong Mansion in Xijing. It is still hundreds of miles away from the east side of the river. Shuoying, Wuwei, and the Jurchens did not send troops to defend it, so why did there be a rumor of going south?
What the remnants of the Liao people rose up is even more nonsense. The only difference is that the Fengtian advocated the restoration of the Liao army that suddenly came out in Yanjing. This matter is very unclear, so everyone just keeps silent. After all, there is no evidence to say it, and Yelu Dashi really died when Fengtian advocated righteousness and restored the Liao army.
But to do this here again is to insult Wu Min's IQ. It's nothing more than some old tricks of raising thieves with self-respect! Exaggerate the enemy in front of you in order to blackmail the imperial court. Let the imperial court allocate more military funds and more grain and grass. The dilemma of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army was naturally solved.
In this way, Wu Fuer, the two generals of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, have no foundation for the gate, but they are afraid that they don't have the courage to do so. Tracing back to the source is nothing more than the means of the Nanlaizi!
Thinking that Xiao Yan was still manipulating the Shenwu Changsheng Army behind his back to block his family, Wu Min hated it so much that his teeth itched. This son from the south, the intention is simply unquestionable! No matter what means are used against him, it is a matter of course!
As long as people have their own positions and their own bottom lines -- if there is no bottom line at all, then they can no longer be called people. Thinking of the Shenwu Changsheng Army's manipulation of such a thief's self-respect, there was Xiao Yan's hateful face behind him. Wu Min felt that there was no pressure to deal with it with no matter how vicious it was.
To be honest, Xiao Yan can't be called completely innocent at all. As long as there is a political struggle and a struggle for power, no one is clean. For the above things, sometimes it is true that you only need to look at the results. Xiao Yan's actions also have his bottom line, that is, to strengthen the army, hurry up to the throne, and grasp the power. In real history, Wu Min's generation can't keep this civilization, Lao Tzu will guard it!
Wu Min finally made up his mind and said fiercely to Lu Cunzhong: "Cunzhong, as soon as the New Year's Day is over, you will follow me to inspect all parts of Hedong." South of Wutai, until Bianliang. Not a grain of rice, a bunch of forage, can be shipped to the edge! Look at this kind of self-respecting means of raising thieves, what other tricks can they produce! But what are the waves, someone deserves it! Look at what tricks this Nanlaizi who lives in the capital can stir up, as long as he goes to the Shenwu Changsheng Army, this son will also be defeated! β
Liu Ping was already stunned, and after Lu Cunzhong received the order loudly, he struggled to speak: "............ Tartar ............ Tartar Dangdangdang............ Really went south, and ...... again Again...... And what can I do? β
Wu Min glanced at him fiercely: "The Tartar just looted on the edge of the edge, and naturally retreated." Such people who come to the south to have bad intentions and are fortunate to enter, and such untamed martial artists are the scourge of the heart! No matter how they live, they can't fulfill their wishes! β
At this moment, Wu Min had already made up his mind. Say anything, you have to fight with Xiao Yan again in this land east of the river! This is no longer just a struggle for power. He could vaguely feel that this was the beginning of the struggle between Wufu and Wenchen. Even if the Tartars are allowed to come in and plunder, they can't let the martial artists climb on the heads of the martial artists again, and ask for the Wenchen scholars! The Great Song Dynasty was as big as Xu, and the Liao people only went to Lanzhou during their heyday. No matter how fierce the Jurchen is, can he still die in the Great Song Dynasty? Changing the ancestral system of using literature to control martial arts is the root of digging the Great Song Dynasty!
At this moment, Wu Min only felt full of confidence. With the backing of the world's corporal doctors, he believes that he can deal with whatever happens to Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Changsheng Army.
At this moment, Wu Min no longer thought that in the future, because of his decision to ban the fish, the wind and waves that would arise would be so sinister that he would not be able to top it in the end! He really didn't expect that from the states of Yunnei to Bianliang, Xiao Yan's layout was so big, until the entire Great Song Dynasty was stirred!
