Song Jiu nodded, and sighed again: "The two thieves of Wang Li are really not at the right time. ”

Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun shouted that they are both rich and poor, which has a certain positive significance.

It should not be exaggerated.

The so-called can make sense, such as Qin Shi Huang ending the candidate system and beginning the county governance, that is the meaning.

Emperor Chen Tang of the Han Dynasty shouted out, whoever offends my Han Dynasty will be punished even if it is far away, so that this nation has a backbone from now on, and that is the meaning.

Although Wang Li shouted this slogan, the wheel of history still ran as usual, except for killing many greedy local tyrants of the Bashu main households, it did not have a significant impact on history.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, he killed many people, which is not good, but if you analyze it carefully, most of the corrupt officials he killed were the corrupt officials and corrupt officials that the people hated the most. No one eulogized him for anything, because he did not have a positive impact on the historical process, but instead created the darkest country, the most greedy country, and even Li Zicheng's righteous army was forced in front of him, and those local tyrants and squires would rather let Li Zicheng raid his family and exterminate his clan than pay a penny to support the officers and soldiers in the war. So history only sees the dark back left by Zhu Yuanzhang......

Therefore, Song Jiu's view of the uprising of Wang and Li is not too fair.

It's okay to revolt, but don't make a mess at this critical time.

However, this was not the reason why Zhao Kuangyi called him, Song Jiu thought for a while and asked, "Is Your Majesty biasing your focus on internal governance a little bit, or a bias on the side of Liao State?" ”

"How?"

"After this heavy blow, the Liao State will be able to live in peace in the north for a few years. And the minister heard that the Goryeo people heard that the Jurchen was defeated, and began to use the Liao State era as the country name. ”

Zhao Kuangyi's face was a little unpleasant.

At the beginning, Song Jiu proposed to fund the Jurchens. Zhao Kuangyi said Goryeo. At least Goryeo is a country. However, Song Jiu despised the Goryeo people very much and thought that they could not be trusted. At most, it plays a little side role. Zhao Kuangyi didn't believe it, and secretly funded some materials and weapons. If it weren't for the fact that Goryeo would never have sent heavy troops to help. Zhao Kuangyi may be able to fund more. I didn't expect Goryeo to be a country of villains that fell on both sides of the wind.

Song Jiu smiled.

In his previous life, he also looked down on Song Jiu, including Jin San. But his idea is more objective, without Jin San, the US imperialists will be able to station their troops on the banks of the Yalu River.

If you use it, you can't really do stupid things, you can subsidize it, but you must have a good sense of proportion.

He also said: "Your Majesty is angry, and the people of Liao may not be happy. This time, Goryeo took advantage of the inability of the Liao State to be distracted and took in many Bohai people who fled to Goryeo. As long as I don't reveal the intention of the Northern Expedition. The Liao State will take action against Goryeo to get rid of future troubles, so as to concentrate on fighting against our dynasty. Then I will have a few years of peace. ”

"But what about after that."

"Your Majesty, it's time to rest and recuperate. Moreover, there is also the Bashu Rebellion. ”

Zhao Kuangyi took a few steps frizzily and said, "What do you mean by being biased?" ”

"To the internal governance of the upper part, is to use the minister's strategy to drive the tiger, the Liao State has been hit hard, and our dynasty can rest assured that this policy will be boldly implemented. Take advantage of the situation to eradicate some of the barbarians in Kuixia by the hands of thieves. Then the sun will shine on the place under His Majesty's rule. All the people can enjoy the glory of His Majesty. If it is deviated to the north, the two thieves will be extinguished immediately, and Bashu will be quickly stabilized, and there will be no trouble in Kuixia. Just like Taizu. Leave this issue for later. As a result, he quickly recuperated and went north again. ”

The national strength is so great that you can only choose one of the two.

Zhao Kuangyi hesitated for a long time. said: "It depends. ”

Kuixia may not be important, but Zhao Kuangyi still has a dream in his heart. Saying that the Song Dynasty unified China really doesn't count. Cochin is not retracted. The Ganlianglan River has not been recovered, and there is still Dali...... If you want to get Dali, Kuixia is the key. If Kuixia is like the current situation, don't talk about Dali, that talk is useless, on the contrary, as the eldest brother said, it is at the cost of hurting the people of the Central Plains, and there will be more border troubles.

But Yan Yun is more important.

Especially the current situation is a bit strange, the end of the Tang Dynasty is backward, and the control of the northwest is weak, but Yan Yun has always been in control. Now that Yanyun is in the hands of the enemy, the control of the northwest is gradually strengthening, and the Song Dynasty has begun to have some influence on the Beihetao. Thinking about it, Zhao Kuangyi laughed and laughed, the capital of the Song Dynasty was not in Chang'an, Shaanxi, but in Kaifeng, Henan!

……

Shi Pu went to Hedong.

At this time, Shi Pu's military ability has surpassed that of Shi Pu in history.

In general, unless there are genius generals like Huo Quzhi, ordinary generals are fought, just like Li Ji, the more wars are fought, the higher the military talent.

Liaodong training is particularly crucial.

The summer tax slowly came up.

In fact, the economic situation of the Song Dynasty really improved.

If there were no wars in the north again and again, many disasters and disasters, coupled with the great uprising in Bashu, the self-injury caused by the wind last year, with the summer tax and other various incomes, would have been able to tide over the difficulties immediately.

Forced by this situation, Pan Mei initiated, more than a dozen Yanai joined forces to donate the cargo of fifty ships that were about to return to Hong Kong to the imperial court in the name of relieving the people of Bashu.

The person behind the scenes is Song Jiu.

The general environment is also related to Song Jiu, Song Jiu originally proposed, Zhao Kuangyi's first acceptance was to encourage large households to do good deeds, over the years to meet some good households, and give some good households some idle officials, the academy is also encouraging large households to do good deeds. But mainly in these yamen, some of their parents are old or have passed away, just like Pan Mei was seriously ill again this year, and she was lucky to be able to resist it. It is better to donate it to the great monks when the court needs money, and you can also buy a good image. Song Jiu planned, Pan Mei was fine, and went around the capital, this big atmosphere is there, and it also has some significance, so there is this donation.

Fifty seagoing ships were worth a lot of money with their cargo, especially the four families of Gaoshi, Song and Pan, and almost all of them were loaded with precious spices, coral, and hawksbill turtles.

Can do a little bit, for example...... Back Army.

The vitality of the Liao State was greatly damaged, and Song Jiu quickly made a decision in the Privy Council.

If there is no accident, it seems that this Empress Dowager Yanyan still has a job. Once recovered, the two countries will inevitably fight fiercely. Either the Song Dynasty fought the Liao State, or the Liao State fought the Song Dynasty, unless one side beat the other side to surrender.

It's time to plan ahead.

The future Song Zhenzong, maybe there is no need to worry about internal governance. But in the foreign war, Song Jiu was a little worried about Zhong Zhong, but in fact, Song Jiu really thought wrong......

Now I have a good foundation. Maybe it can change the mind of Emperor Shinjong.

Although Zhao Kuangyi's suspicion made Song Jiu a little unhappy, think about it this way. Song Jiu instead longed for Zhao Kuangyi to live for a few more years.

So there was the Bearer Army.

Wei, high mountains also.

In another time and space, there is a powerful army of backs, but there are no more than 10,000 backs, but 10,000 are invincible. Even the Jurchens can only look at their backs......

That was the most powerful military branch in Yue Fei's hands.

Carrying a mountain on your back means carrying a heavy mission.

After Song Jiu said this name, Zhao Kuangyi clapped his hands and applauded.

……

Jing Si is here, Yang Yanzhao is here, and Zhang Ning is here. and Yang Qiong herself.

The 10,000 Beiwei army was divided into the front army, the left and right armies, and the four commanders of the Chinese army, and four people served as the leaders of the four armies.

There were 2,000 soldiers on the left and right sides of the front, five battalions of light cavalry, and one battalion of cavalry each. Six battalions of the Chinese army were lightly cavalry, 1,000 heavy cavalry, and 600 Han heavy cavalry.

Even if you ride lightly. It is also to select the strongest warriors out of tens of thousands of light cavalry.

Now they are concentrated in the northwest for training, and they will be scattered in the future, and they will be placed in the three theaters. But it won't break up at the moment, it's mainly used to practice coordination. There were even a large number of troops in the northwest and east of the river, and they practiced fighting with them.

For the time being, it's training.

may have to be transferred to Bashu in the future.

The salary of this elite cavalry will be very high, and it will receive a monthly salary of 500 yuan more than that of ordinary soldiers. And that's not all. The imperial court will spend a lot of money to provide a large amount of mutton, pork. Because the northwest began to breed on a large scale, the price of meat was cheaper than that of the Central Plains. Preferably beef. But the Song Dynasty still lacked cattle to cultivate, and beef was unrealistic.

Then every soldier was ordered to eat more than half a pound of meat every day.

Even if you vomit, you have to eat it.

Song Jiu participated in the battle on the front line and noticed a phenomenon many times, the Song army was highly disciplined, and it was with this formation that the Liao army was defeated. However, the real individual combat effectiveness may not be as good as that of the Shangliao soldiers. For no other reason, one grew up eating meat, although often these Liao soldiers were also half-starved and had to eat food to replenish them.

There is one more comparison.

That was the Jurchen warriors, and later the Yuan-Mongolian army.

The Liao army was weaker than them, and even inferior to the Western Xia army in the future. Food problems are also one of the main causes. With Yanyun and Liaonan, the Liao State can feed more people, and the food of the soldiers has gradually changed from meat to grain. But although the Jurchens were half-full, they mainly ate meat, even if it was pork, before going to Liaodong, even Song Jiu didn't know that the pig industry of the Jurchens was so developed. Not to mention Yuanmeng, where can they grow crops?

Military discipline, the general's command ability, the strength and policy of the country, the will of the people, morale, equipment, logistics, and the physical fitness of the soldier are the main factors that determine the war.

The food is good, the salary is high, but this army will shoulder the heavy responsibility of the future of the Song Dynasty, the killer on the battlefield. Therefore, the training intensity is very high.

Jing Si hurriedly went to the northwest, practiced, and wrote to the imperial court, this kind of practice is not good, so it is better to bring this back army to Bashu and practice on the battlefield.

Zhao Kuangyi smiled when he saw the fold.

Having such a brave general under his command also made Zhao Kuangyi very proud, and that mood was no less than Li Shimin seeing Xue Rengui's performance in Goryeo.

But Song Jiu attaches more importance to Li Jilong and Shi Pu, and their ability to command.

Zhao Kuangyi said again: "I don't need it." ”

At first, Li Shun fell into Chengdu, and the states were too guarded and unprepared, only Zhang Yong, the governor of Zizhou, was prepared, immediately trained the soldiers in the city, and recruited more than 4,000 strong and brave people, and transported the gold silk from Mianzhou to make a treasure, selling the bronze bell as an arrow, cutting wood as a rod, sewing cloth as a rope, and guarding the armament, and then sending officials to invite soldiers to the imperial court. Xichuan Inspector Lu Bin came to the aid of Chengdu with the crowd of ten states, but Chengdu had fallen, and the enemy was strong, so he had to retreat to Zizhou.

The performance was somewhat underperforming.

But who in the whole Bashu can come to the stage?

Lu Bin's performance is good, after all, he has fought many battles with the Liao State, and he has eliminated the two giant thieves in Guanzhong. So Zhang Yong immediately reused.

Lu Bin is an insider, he went to Zizhou to take a look, saw that the sub-city was destroyed by the river first, and immediately led the people to dig trenches, deep and deep, as a moat around the city arch guard.

The moat was dug in front, and Li Shun sent the general Xianggui to lead 200,000 soldiers and horses to attack, Lu Bin led his subordinates out of the city to fight, and there was no heavy defeat, but there were too many enemies, and they did not repel it, so they retreated to the city.

Xiang Gui ordered his men to attack the city with a big ladder at night, and Zhang Yong ordered the soldiers in the city to use the city trebuchet to smash the big ladder with a boulder, and most of the big ladders were smashed, and rockets were fired to burn them. Xiang Gui also used the wood on the mountain in the northwest of the city to make siege equipment. Zhang Yong deliberately opened the east gate and sent five hundred horsemen to rush to the east gate. Xianggui watched condescendingly from Niutou Mountain outside the city, thinking that Zhang Yong would go out of the city to attack, so he transferred his troops to the foot of the mountain to the east to wait. Zhang Yong took the opportunity to send a hundred soldiers to rope down and rush to the northwest. A fire burned its siege apparatus.

Xianggui borrowed the north wind again to set fire to the north gate, Zhang Yong and Lu Kai led the troops to base the gate, stood between the arrows and stones, held still, the leader was not afraid of death, and his subordinates were not afraid of death, and repelled Xianggui's attacks again and again. In particular, Chen Shiqing, the official of Jiedu, has good archery skills, and when he is in the city, he shoots hundreds of people alone.

However, there are too many subordinates.

The officials in the city all discussed abandoning the city to break through and withdraw, Chen Shiqing said: "Shi Junlu, you should be committed to serving the country, but you want to take refuge for it." ”

The officials were silent.

But Chen Shiqing said to Zhang Yong behind his back: "This generation is cowardly, and it is enough to confuse the people and affect morale. ”

But when the most reckless reward is applied, it is the sedan chair that everyone carries, and Zhang Yongwei is still aware of Zizhou; Patrol inspection, inner temple Chongban Lu Bin for the Xijing workshop, leading the history of the state thorn; The general judgment and will be the supervisor Zhao He as the prince's middle house, the supervisor and the enshrined official Xin Gui as the inner temple Chongban, the secretary of the festival degree Shi Wei as the judge of the festival, the section degree promoter Chen Shiqing as the secretary in charge, and the judge of the Yanyan Court Xie Tao as the observation magistrate......

Their credit is not only to hold Zizhou, but mainly to contain most of Li Shun, which is not trivial, and has laid a good foundation for Wang Quanbin to enter Shu.

Wang Quanbin first broke through the Yankou Village, crossed the Qingqiang Ridge, and Li Shun had few troops in Jianzhou and could not be defeated, so Jianzhou was peaceful first.

Then he fought with Li Shun at Liuchiyi, and was defeated, so he took the opportunity to recover Mianzhou. Another Cao Xi divided his troops to attack Laoxi, broke 10,000 righteous soldiers, and recovered Langzhou.

The Eastern Route Army repelled 3,000 volunteers in the Guang'an Army, so it took advantage of the situation to move west and reclaim Bazhou.

At this time, Li Shun made a serious mistake, and divided his troops in four directions, especially Xianggui's 200,000 volunteers who were trapped in Zizhou and did not return in time, and heard that Wang Jien was coming, and gathered the remaining 100,000 rebels around him in Chengdu, and the two armies fought, and were immediately defeated by officers and soldiers, and attacked the city of Chengdu and captured Li Shun alive.

Wang Jien received Zhang Yong's call for help, and immediately asked Shi Zhirong to send thousands of soldiers to the rescue. Lu Bin took the opportunity to fight out of the city, and the inside and outside should be combined, Xianggui was defeated, tens of thousands of people surrendered, and the rest fled. Lu Bin then advanced eastward, and just as a rebel army besieged Langzhou, he was defeated by Lu Bin. After the siege of Langzhou was lifted, Lu Bin fought to the southeast again, defeated another part of the righteous army, and Pengzhou was pacified.

There is, but the rest of the rebels are not to worry about.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi said that there is no need to bother these newly formed powerful cavalry troops.

Song Jiu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily." ”

Lu Mengzheng asked strangely: "Song Gong, why?" ”

Song Jiu sighed: "Because of the previous killing and poking of the imperial court, and the subsequent inaction, how high the mountains in Sichuan are, how much ...... hatred for the imperial court" (to be continued......)
