"Who?"

"Soon you will know that it will be very beneficial for the Third Highness when this person comes back, but remember, you don't have to be smart and contact him, otherwise he is worried that His Majesty will know that he will lose his heart of justice, and he will support the Fifth Highness instead."

"Who is he?"

"Heaven must not be divulged." Song Jiu smiled and walked down the mountain.

Liu E looked at Song Jiu's back, and was stunned for a long time, thinking in her heart, this is Homo sapiens, she has read a lot of books in Zhang's mansion, and thinks she is very smart.

If Song Jiu knew her thoughts, he would definitely laugh heartily, but in fact, Song Jiu was already laughing in Dalang.

At the beginning, he rejected Zhao Kuangyi's kindness, many people didn't understand, but Song Jiu was very happy when he actually heard that Li Jilong was transferred to the northwest.

Depending on the situation, the idea will be different.

When he came back, Bashu was in chaos, the country's economy was in difficulty, and he was worried about Xiao Yanyan's revenge.

Now it's different, and the economy is getting better step by step.

The tiger of the Bashu Righteous Army was punctured, completely proving that they were a paper tiger, and there was nothing to fear, although it hurt the imperial court. After all, the population of hundreds of thousands of households in Bashu has to bring countless income to the country in a year, and the income in this few years is not expected. However, they could not shake the safety of the imperial court.

Shi Pu from the Liao State brought news that he would not retaliate for the time being, and Yelu Hugo died.

Internal and external troubles are removed together, Zhao Kuangyi will still be the idea of spring?

If he really stayed in the position of prime minister of Dongfu, and took advantage of his great achievements to stay, he is now ready to support the new crown prince to ascend to the throne. Then he will really become a thorn in Zhao Kuangyi's eye and a thorn in his flesh.

Of course. You can also do it next. Up and down, in and out. It is the theme song of the Song Dynasty. It's very obscene, in fact, the official system of the Song Dynasty was originally very obscene, the same as that.

But now, the initiative must be controlled in one's own hands, and you can't go down with dirty water that you don't need.

However, Song Jiu was still a little unwilling in his heart.

Xiao E'e came to the door, and it was okay to talk today, so Song Jiu was happy.

Zhao Kuangyi took every precaution, but he definitely didn't prevent a little geisha, and let himself drink the thickest soup in the first sip. Let's wait for the fruit to be picked in the future.

……

Before the Beiwei army gradually entered the battlefield, Zhang Yongzheng was fighting wits with Wang Jien.

When he first arrived in Yizhou, he heard one thing, the food in the city was only enough for 30,000 garrisons to eat for half a month, and the hearts of the troops in the city were shaken. At the same time, the same is true in Shaanxi, where hundreds of people are conscripted to transport grain from Shaanxi to Sichuan...... Think of the boardwalks that hang over the cliffs. Even the people of Shaanxi were also persecuted.

But there is no way.

For what will revolt, the drought in Xichuan. led to the outbreak of the uprising. Therefore, including Song Jiu, they only thought of the way to transfer grain from Shaanxi.

However, Zhang Yong carefully checked, and this was not the case.

Bashu uses cloth instead of taxes, but grain is not a tax. At least not the taxes that were sent to the imperial court, and the people only paid a small amount of grain for the officials and the garrison to consume. or other local food, the rest will not be levied. Therefore, it was the drought in Xichuan last year. There is still surplus grain in Bashu.

That is, the drought was not the main cause of the uprising, but the cruelty of the main household was the cause of the great uprising.

Although last year was messy. It also affected production, and the people still had surplus food in their hands.

After the Sichuan Uprising, Zhao Kuangyi hurriedly issued an edict to cancel Bo Mai and exempt the taxes of the year to appease people's hearts.

However, there is still a way, the people of Sichuan have surplus grain in their hands, but salt is expensive. So he ordered the price of salt to be lowered, but this price of salt was not used to sell, but to let the people exchange grain for grain.

After hearing this, the common people rushed to exchange the rice for salt, and in less than a month, they asked Zhang Yong to exchange for 100,000 high-quality rice. If it costs to transport 100,000 Hu rice from Shaanxi to Chengdu, it will cost at least 500,000 Hu or even more than 1 million Hu grain, otherwise it will not be able to meet the consumption on the long mountain road. How much money will this save the imperial court? How many Shaanxi people have lightened their burden. And the problem of military rations has also been solved.

The soldiers were also happy, Sichuan was rice, Shaanxi was transported sorghum corn, and there were black-hearted merchants mixed with sand and chaff in it, which was delicious. So they praised one after another, this Weng is really good at doing state affairs.

Zhang Yong was still not happy, because Wang Jien continued to close the city gates, feasting and drinking day and night, and did not crusade against the enemy troops outside the city. Zhang Yongcai was not good at dealing with him when he came, and he was the master of Lu Mengzheng's sycophancy. Now that the people support it and the soldiers support it, Lu Mengzheng has confidence.

But the military power was still in the hands of Wang Jien, and Zhang Yong had to sit and wait for the opportunity.

The opportunity came, Wang Jien sent someone to collect grain and grass from him to feed the horses, Zhang Yong instructed the officials to only give money, not grain and grass.

Wang Jien was furious, came over in person, and yelled at Zhang Yong: "Do horses eat money?" ”

When the people on the side heard this, they all wanted to laugh.

Zhang Yong replied calmly: "The grassland in the city was burned by the enemy, so I can only go out of the city to buy it. You are happy behind closed doors, where does the food and grass come from? If you open the door to kill the enemy, are you still afraid that the horse will have no food and grass to eat? ”

Wang Jien couldn't answer, although he was mad, but he couldn't do anything about Zhang Yong, could he kill Zhang Yong? That's something Wang Quanbin didn't dare to do. So there was a stalemate and continued to send troops. When the Beiwei army came, Wang Jien saw that the general trend had gone, so he opened the city gate and divided his troops out of the city.

The fact that Wang Jien did not send troops this time made many people puzzled. If he weren't a eunuch, it would have made people suspect that he had the intention of rebellion. Later, after he returned to the capital, Zhao Kuangyi questioned him, but Zhao Kuangyi did not tell the truth, and he also did not deal with it. So it became a mystery.

But no matter what the reason, Wang Jien must have had a bad heart.

Song Jiu guessed that he was doing this to reward him for his merits, and if he didn't reward me, he wouldn't send troops!

Although Wang Jien sent troops out of the city to quell the rebellion, he still did not intend to let Zhang Yong go, so he handed over the dozens of volunteers he had captured to Zhang Yong and let Zhang Yong deal with it. If Zhang Yong does not kill, Wang Jien will impeach Zhang Yong on suspicion of arson. If killed, Wang Jien can impeach Zhang Yong to appease the innocent and kill innocents. It seems that the latter is very likely, not only Zhang Yong has the past of killing a small official for a penny. And according to rumors. He met a colleague in the post station, and heard something from the colleague's mouth. He had evil servants in his house who had caught the hands of this colleague. However, this colleague was cowardly, so he used this to blackmail the official with money and forcibly marry his daughter. Zhang Yong said to the official the next day, I will go out tomorrow to run errands, and borrow something from this servant of your family. So he took the bewildered evil servant out of the city and came to an old forest, Zhang Yong raised his knife and fell, and the evil servant's life was killed. The evil servant reaps the consequences, and the others hear about it. Everyone pretended to be deaf and dumb, and the matter was over.

This is a killer.

Wang Jien was waiting for the good news, who knew that this time Zhang Yong would not kill anyone, and immediately released dozens of volunteers, and dozens of people escaped death and happily went home to farm. Wang Jien came to be furious. Zhang Yong continued to say calmly: "In the past, Li Shun forced the people to become thieves, and now he is working with you to turn thieves into the people, is such a good thing wrong?" ”

Wang Jien was speechless.

Keep coming.

Zhang Yong came, and Wang Jien's personal soldiers were still lawless. continued to loot people's property, and the common people went to report the case as soon as they saw that this Xinzhizhou was about a good official.

This is a bit difficult, after all, Wang Jien holds military power. If it is not done well, Wang Jien will be in trouble, and he will be in danger. It also harmed the situation of the entire Bashu. So Zhang Yong threatened to send officials to arrest these pro-soldiers. The momentum is loud, but the speed is slow.

Wang Jien did not judge it. At first, he wanted to ignore it, but after thinking about it, he was afraid that Zhao Kuangyi would be angry, so he asked his soldiers to immediately hang the rope from the city and escape from Chengdu City by night. Zhang Yong gave another secret order to his opponent, remember, once this person is caught, don't say anything, immediately tie him up and throw him into a dry well, and don't leave him alive to come back.

Although the official carried it out, he was afraid of Wang Jien and soon notified Wang Jien. Wang Jien jumped like thunder, grandma, you don't kill the traitor, but kill Lao Tzu's own soldiers. However, he didn't take advantage of it, he could only eat the yellow lotus dumbly, and if he had a hard time, he ordered his subordinates to all rein in, and not to let this master who dared to kill seize the opportunity and really throw it into the dry well.

One, two, three, this arrogant lord let Zhang Yong mess with it.

In fact, although Zhang Yong loves the people, he is not a soft master, and his methods are biased towards rigidity and tyranny, and his usage is strict. However, he has a heart for the people and is able to manage and adjust the economy, so the people love him everywhere he passes.

Wang Jien won, the uprising gradually subsided, Zhang Yong soon exhausted his skills, and the first-class internal governance in the history of Sichuan began, and Zhang Yong became a famous official in the Song Dynasty.

But it was difficult at the beginning, especially Wang Jien, who was arrogant and had military power in his hands, needed wisdom.

Therefore, Zhang Yong is very complacent.

At least compared with Lu Yuqing and Wang Quanbin, Lu Yuqing is not powerful, and the two situations are similar, but is there no way to stop Wang Quanbin's atrocities?

Kou Zhun didn't believe anyone, and he believed in Zhang Yong. In the future, Zhang Yong stepped down from Chengdu in the future, Kou Zhun happened to be in Shaanxi, received Zhang Yong, and then Kou Zhun asked Zhang Yong, Zhang Yong said, Huo Guangchuan must be read. Kou Zhun then read Huo Guangchuan, and when he read the words "no learning and no skills", he laughed and laughed, and Zhang Gong originally said that I don't learn and have no skills.

This is not a study, but an academic.

If it were someone else, Kou Zhun would have hated it.

But Zhang Yong's evaluation is also unfair, and Song Jiu's evaluation is actually correct. After a long time, Song Jiu clearly knew the personality of Lu Dao Xiaokou, and his evaluation was four big words: middle school second youth!

In fact, there is no need to carry the Wei army to come, as long as Wang Jien sends troops, the Bashu rebel army will be suppressed, after the Song Liao campaign, it is almost the most powerful war in this world, and the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is too great. If Wang Jien restrains his greedy desires and assists him in benevolent governance, even Zhang Yong's limelight will be suppressed.

Now Wang Jien must be late.

And even military merit will be robbed.

Wang Jien did not send troops, and other Song Dynasty officials couldn't sit down. Yizhou is the vane of Bashu, Yizhou is safe, Bashu can be pacified, Yizhou is uneasy, and the Bashu rebel army will have courage. Zhang Yong and Lu Bin took 3,000 foot soldiers and sent troops from Zizhou and slowly set off towards Jintang, trying to open a gap from the southeast of Yizhou.

Now the entire Yizhou is occupied by the rebels on all sides, which has led to the fact that Yizhou is almost blocked.

The war started in Zhongjiangzhai.

Zhang Yong couldn't attack the village, so he secretly dug a tunnel.

Bashu Zhuzhai is different from the north, not the border villages of the Song Dynasty, many are built on the hills, even if it is not easy to dig tunnels, there are also on the plains, but the Song Dynasty gradually completed the planning of Song Jiu, the forts are large-scale and centralized, and each fort is made of stone and cement, which is extremely solid. It's not Youzhou City. The city walls are strong, and both sides also know many ways to crack the gunpowder to blow up the city walls. Even if it blows up. The military discipline on both sides was strict, and the gap was quickly plugged with fences.

But what about Bashu?

The rebels also captured some gunpowder. It was not captured from the Song army, but from various mines and state treasury, but they didn't know how to use it, and they didn't even know its specific function, only that it was used to blow stones.

Therefore, Zhongjiangzhai was soon blown up by Zhang Yong, and a huge gap was opened.

Zhang Yong and Lu Bin led people to kill them, the leader killed them, and the rest of them were admonished and sent home.

Then the two continued to lead the army to advance towards Chengdu.

These two people are now famous, and they have become thorns in the side of the rebels.

And once let them rendezvous with the Song army in Chengdu. The consequences are unimaginable.

So the rebels concentrated their soldiers and horses, and once reached 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and killed Lu Zhang's Zizhou army.

Zhang Yong and Lu Bin saw that the enemy was strong, so they had no choice but to retreat and gradually retreat to the Zhongjiang Plain.

When he was about to catch up, suddenly a Song Dynasty cavalry came out.

Back to the Army!

Yang Qiong's Chinese army.

Yang Qiong commanded with a banner.

Sixteen hundred heavy horsemen slaughtered.

I don't know why the Jingzhai Army of the Song Dynasty in the history of Lu Dao disappeared, maybe it was this speed that dragged it down.

But this army gave inspiration to the Western Xia and Jin people, and the Iron Harrier appeared in the Western Xia, which was not as equipped as the current Jingzhai Army. It is not as good as the Jingzhai army in history, but it is this heavy cavalry that once gave the Song Dynasty a headache.

Then to the country of gold.

Of course, there are still many flaws, and Genghis Khan's army proves a word of the great god Kim. The world's martial arts, only fast is not broken.

Therefore, the Iron Harrier was also defeated by the Song army, and the heavy cavalry of the Jin people made Yue Fei kill to the ground.

But it is not yet something that the Liao army can break. It's not something that the rebels can defeat.

Sixteen hundred cavalry is nothing in an army of tens of thousands, but the rebels are numerous. It's just a flock of sheep, even compared to the elite horses of the Liao State before the Tang River. They weren't even sheep, they were just ants.

The heavy cavalry cut through the waves of blood.

The rebels were soon killed dumbfounded.

At this time, the Song army in the rear was shouting, surrender and not kill.

Not killing has become the yardstick for Zhang Yongzhi Shu, and not killing has become the foundation of the rebellion of the Beiwei army.

Then the re-ride stopped.

But these rebels were still not reconciled.

So he took the opportunity to retreat.

With a wave of Yang Qiong's banner, the four battalions of heavy cavalry converged, giving way to five huge passages, and the six battalions of light cavalry came out, but did not pursue, but harassed all the way, constantly shouting. The rebels were defeated and fought and retreated. Without retreating far, two cavalry armies, one on the left and one on the right, came out.

Zhang Ning and Yang Yanzhao's back to the left army and the back to the right army came out.

If it weren't for the Zhongjiang Campaign, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and betraying military power should be an actual combat exercise.

With the help of the flat terrain of the Zhongjiang Plain, various tactics and cooperation continue to be deduced.

At the end of the day, the rebels were exhausted, and at this time, Jing Hei's front army outflanked him from the rear.

Only then did the Beiwei Army officially launch the second wave of charge.

The four armies were encircled, and in an instant, countless volunteers fell into a pool of blood.

But this attack was still quickly accepted, and at this time the Song army shouted again, and the last chance, if it did not fall, all of them would be killed.

There's no way to fight anymore.

Tens of thousands of rebels laid down their arms and surrendered on the ground.

Or not kill.

Several important generals learned the news of Chengdu from Zhang Yongzui, and they didn't want to be caught in the dispute between King Zhang, so they solved it on the spot. Ordinary soldiers were sent home, and as for the various leaders, although they were not famous generals, they stood out, and they were all outstanding in force, so they served the public. Send people to persuade him to surrender and be incorporated into the forbidden army. One is to surrender to the imperial court and enter the forbidden army, and the other is to be executed by the leader, how to decide? The various chieftains surrendered.

The four heavy generals saw that the overall situation had been decided, and handed over the surrender to Zhang Yong to deal with. did not enter Chengdu, but roared south.

There is also a large rebel presence in the south.

Wang Jien sent troops, but looking around, there were no rebels near Chengdu. Wang Jien had no choice but to send the army south to cooperate with the Beiwei army to capture the bandits, but these were mostly foot soldiers, the speed was slow, and before they arrived at one place, the rebellion had already been suppressed by the Beiwei army.

The Beiwei army marched south, fought more than 30 battles, large and small, killed more than 6,000 enemies and captured more than 90,000 people. However, only a few soldiers were killed, and less than 100 were wounded.

But its significance is not only that, this is the ruler in history in the peasant uprising openly reflected on his own mistakes, even Zhao Kuangyi himself issued a guilty edict, and not a single one was killed, spread all over the land of Bashu...... (To be continued......)
