Not only Wang Huaji, but also many ministers have written to keep them.

It's good to go up and down, but at least you have to make a mistake to go up and down, Song Jiu is obviously right, why do you go down?

However, none of the books were reported.

They don't know what to say, it's very important for Song Jiu to go down this time, otherwise how can the wind blow?

In fact, Song Jiu's words are also very important, like Hu Yanzan, tattoos all over the body, tattoos were common in the Song Dynasty, and most people even scholars and doctors also played this. However, Huyanzan was not enough, and he made a demon pestle, a sword, an iron scarf, and blades on both sides, all weighing dozens of catties; Ride a horse, wipe your forehead. During the northern expedition to Taiyuan, Zhao Kuangyi saw it and felt that this person was very strange.

I am a civilized person, and no monsters are allowed under my tent......

He almost killed Huyanzan.

Later, he made meritorious contributions, his deeds were widely publicized, and he even became the idol of the three armies and the people for a time, Zhao Kuangyi also wanted to open it, it was a bit nondescript, but he was a military general, what else could he ask him for? But in this way, it will deter the enemy after going into battle.

After Baozhou's meritorious service, Zhao Kuangyi was ready to use it and became the commander of Jizhou's soldiers and horses, but he had no command talent, and his subordinate sergeants had many contradictions, and he changed the history of Liaozhou's assassination, and he could not govern the people. Zhao Kuangyi was ready to summon the head of the capital army to lead the Fuzhou assassination. Song Jiu entered a reprimand and sent him to Baozhou.

Therefore, there are very few military generals who can govern the people.

Looking at Wenchen again, in addition to Song Jiu and Zhang Qixian, how many people have side skills? It's not that there are not many literati, although there are not many now, they have started to use them, and some of them have been used, but even Kou Zhun and Song Shou have not made military merits below.

Another example is the students of the academy, many of whom serve as governors. They did a good job, but on the whole, they were indeed good at technical skills, such as industry and agriculture, commerce, and animal husbandry, and they might not be able to compete politically with the scholarly business.

The analysis of several other types of people is also reasonable, and Song Jiu put forward several theories on employing people, that is, the grinding system, not to mention how good it is. That's useless. Let's do it first.

The three-to-five-year system of keeping appointments should not be moved around, because in fact many officials are moving blindly, and county-level officials are easy to appoint. In some small counties, there are even vacancies in some deputy offices. Temporarily replaced by Xu officials. However, there are as many officials as there can be at the state level. How many high-ranking officials can there be in the capital? They all want to rise, but they don't break their heads after the worst. Therefore, the current migration system is mostly transferred from one county to another, and the transfer may not have much effect. On the contrary, it is not easy to make political achievements.

The Qi official system, no matter what kind of officials come up, each has its own strengths, and the same Jinshi on the list outside the Donghua Gate may not be so expensive, but fortunately, at this time, if Song Jiu proposes it in a few decades, it will make people spray to death.

The system of using the amount of talent is used to be good and the place to avoid is short. In fact, Song Jiu did this when he was in Zhongshu, and said to Fan Ruobing, you can govern the place and do a good job, this is your strength, but literature is not your strength, what kind of literature to sell and what ink?

But there is also an important system.

That is to say, the appointment of military candidates, and the appropriate use of a few people who are slightly proficient in military affairs to the border state capitals to hone their skills, so that they can be further proficient in military affairs, and only these civilian officials can enter the Privy Council, otherwise, like Zhang Hong, they can only surrender their hands to the officials in the western government. Or learn from Wang Wei Wen Zhongshu, who can't handle military affairs, and then toss around blindly in Xifu to suppress the opponent. Or the cannon is out of order. What is the role of the Privy Council in the imperial court, in addition to the separation of powers? But now that the candidates for the prime minister of Xifu are slowly picky, supplemented by the consultation of the veterans of the General Staff Department, at least Xifu will not make too many mistakes in decision-making on major military affairs.

The intention is very simple, the insider makes decisions and acts!

It may be better than the Song Dynasty system before or after history, but it still has many problems.

In particular, the central government's intervention in the use of troops by border soldiers, that is, the imperial system, Song Jiu has not really solved this problem perfectly.

In fact, it is still Song Jiu's problem, although he has a golden finger, strictly speaking, he is not a politician, not a military strategist, not a thinker or philosopher, or even a very good economist and scientist.

……

The Song family is packing their luggage.

The eldest sister complained: "Come back with an old one, go down with three small ones." ”

Pan Mei will be back soon, but Song Bao has gone to the northwest, the second son-in-law of the Song family is in Hebei, and Song Jiu is going to Hedong again.

When the eldest sister thought about this, she felt very unbalanced in her heart.

Song Jiu comforted: "Eldest sister, do you think about the Liao Kou invasion that year, what was the situation in Hezhou? I can't help it. ”

That year, the Liao army almost approached the Daimyo's mansion, and when the news reached the capital, the entire northern part of Hebei and Jingdong Road was shaken. Especially the merchants and households on the river island, the river island has no city walls, the roads are developed, and it is so rich, once the Liao army comes, it is simply the most sumptuous meal. As a result, all the merchants and tenants of Hezhou were panicked, and many of them moved to live in the capital for a time. Song Jiu didn't care, but the three elder sisters' industries were all on Hezhou, and in those two months, they suffered a lot of losses invisibly.

Therefore, some people later proposed to rebuild the city wall around the river island Zhufang, but the whole river island is a sharp triangle from north to south and extends to the east, how to build this city wall?

"As long as you can."

"It's not that I can, it's that I'm sober."

The eldest sister doesn't understand this sentence very well.

Pan Li'er carefully packed all the luggage for her husband, and then told the lady.

There are still a large group of children at home, and Pan Li'er can't go to Taiyuan with Song Jiu, so she has to let her go.

The eldest sister is uneven, Pan Li'er is not very easy to speak, on one side is her elderly and sick father, and on the other side is her husband, what can she say?

Song Jiu slowly went to Taiyuan.

There was another person who went with him, Gao Qiong.

This person is Zhao Kuangyi's former minister, but he is not supervising Song Jiu, if he supervises Song Jiu, he is not Gao Qiong, and Gao Qiong has a good relationship with Song Jiu. Even Pan Li'er intended to marry Song Xiaoyu to Gao Qiong's fourth son, Gao Jimi.

But Song Jiu refused because his daughter was still young.

It's actually still small, but it's not small in the eyes of the Song Dynasty.

But Gao Qiong and his wife were overjoyed when they heard it, okay, my family is waiting. Regardless of the small and the big, as long as Song Jiu agrees, even if Song Xiaoyu marries at the age of twenty-five, the Gao family will have to wait.

However, the Gao family is not really powerful.

This can also explain the relationship between the Gao and Song families.

In fact, this time I went because Gao Qiong was more stable, and it was impossible for Song Jiu to stay in Hedong all the time. This is still for the selection of talents in the post-Pan Mei Yang industry.

Arrived in Taiyuan.

Pan Mei asked, "Xiao Jiu." The Imperial Court wants to run the mountain queen? ”

So far, only two people have raised such suspicions, one is Pan Mei, and the other is Li Jilong.

Song Jiu smiled and said, "Zhangren, if you really want to run the mountain queen, will the imperial court let you go back to Beijing?" Can you not be clear about the level of my troops in battle? ”

Pan Mei smiled and said, "Don't be three days, when you look at each other." Maybe you're more capable than the old man now. ”

"Father-in-law, your own family, don't talk outside the world. However, His Majesty also asked me to inform some important generals of the truth. ”

"Are those thoughts you're sneaking around in Xifu?"

"Uncle. You can't be sneaky. His Majesty also participated. ”

Pan Mei smiled and was speechless, Zhao Kuangyi also participated? What can he do if he participates?

For the time being, Pan Mei was not allowed to go back, and his experience was also of great help to Song Jiu, at least definitely better than Song Jiu himself. At least in the details. and the understanding of the border defense of the east of the river. It must be much stronger than Song Jiu. Just took the opportunity to wait for someone to guide and hand over Song Jiu. Song Jiu began to gather the generals, and the number was pitifully small. From the east of the river to the northwest, there are more than 100,000 military horses stationed and trained one after another, and the generals and colonels do not know how many. However, there are only a few people, Tian Renlang, Yin Xian, Yang Qiong, Yang Ye, Yang Si, Yin Jilun, Gao Qiong, and Pan Mei, who is going back to Beijing.

Tian Yin and the three of them are in the northwest, but they are not very far from Taiyuan.

When several people arrived, Song Jiu first said the seriousness of the matter, this plan can also be said to divide the troops, and even the division is longer than the Yongxi Northern Expedition, but in order to ensure its effectiveness, it is not a division of troops, but a succession of divisions, so the time is very long, it may last for more than a year, or it may last for more than two years. Therefore, confidentiality is necessary.

Song Jiu told the truth.

Everyone's mouths were wide open.

Yang Yehu asked suspiciously: "Isn't this a bit worth the loss?" ”

"General Yang, if you forcibly conquer the Khitan since I did, do you have the ability to take back Yanyun?"

Yang Ye couldn't answer.

Therefore, the symbolism of this time is far greater than the meaning of using troops, and once it succeeds, the entire Yanyun will be panicked. Then when the time comes, if we use some means, more Han households will turn against us. The imperial court's approach used to be soft, and if it was soft, it might not be a good thing, but it would make the other party not know why......"

Yang Ye was still silent.

Song Jiu smiled, Yang Ye is a typical nationalist, and there must be some resistance to this plan in his heart. So Song Jiu said again: "Every time I see this Taiyuan New Town, I always feel a little creepy in my heart, my grandfather moved Taiyuan City to the east of Fenshui, although it is impossible to produce any kingly spirit, but its defense is poor. Yanyun does not take it back, once the north is strong, Hebei is a flat river, and there is no danger to rely on. There is danger in the east of the river, but Taiyuan City is not in danger to defend. Beiyu can easily send troops to two roads, one to Hebei and one to Taiyuan. If the country is not the strongest at that time, and the king is not as wise as His Majesty, the country will be ruined in an instant. At that time, all the lives of tens of millions of people in Hebei and even Hedong will be miserable. This is the biggest hidden danger of the country. General Yang, why did you send the numbers to the battlefield one after another? So much so that Saburo died. It's not that you don't love your children, but you love your children greatly. The loss is small, but the gain is big. ”

Yang Ye arched his hand and said: "Song Gongzhi is far-sighted, and his subordinates are far behind. ”

Originally, Yang Ye was also going to be recalled, but Zhao Kuangyi took into account that Yang Ye had been in Hedong for a long time, and he was very familiar with the mountains and rivers, terrain, customs and customs, and even knew the Khitan people very well, so he continued to leave Yang Ye behind to help Song Jiu.

After that, they will return to their respective stations.

Pan Mei also went back, if there was no Song Jiu, Yang Ye's death, and the ministers attacked Pan Mei, causing Pan Mei to be depressed and die in this year. However, after the failure of the Northern Expedition, Pan Mei was also depressed in her heart, and when she went south and north, her health also deteriorated, and she was often sick.

Song Jiu changed in time, otherwise Pan Mei might still die of old age in Taiyuan.

Winter is also deep.

Song Jiu did not have a major military operation in Taiyuan, but instead began to take on civilian duties and deal with the government.

But then the imperial court made a series of personnel changes.

With Yin Xian as the governor of Shengzhou, Yang Qiong as the head of Shengzhou's soldiers and horses, Zhang Ning as the deputy director, Tian Renlang as Yin Xian, Zhixia Prefecture, and Zhai Shousu in Yanzhou. Others didn't change much. But where is Shengzhou? The vast land west of the river above the two states of Fengfu is where Shengzhou of the Tang Dynasty is located.

In addition, Song Jiu went to Taiyuan for no reason, and this edict was issued, as long as people with some long-term vision will think, has the imperial court changed its mind and changed its mind to run Youzhou instead of running Shanhou! (To be continued......)
