Zhao Kuangyi's face was gloomy.

There are 200,000 volunteers in Zizhou, 100,000 volunteers in Chengdu, and other places, so the number of volunteers has reached at least more than 400,000. How many households can there be in Bashu? Besides, it's not the whole of Bashu that is rebelling. If it is some volunteers, it can still be said that Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun hijacked and rebelled, so many volunteers, saying that they were hijacked, who would believe it?

At this point, the two bigwigs in the east and west have made mistakes.

Wang Jien was meritorious in leveling the thief, and Lu Mengzheng proposed to use Wang Jien as the Xuanhui envoy.

On the surface, it was okay, Wang Jien didn't have many soldiers and horses before, and he defeated Li Shun and captured Li Shunsheng alive.

At least it is much stronger than many old people in Zhao Kuangyi's palace, regardless of others, at least it is stronger than Zhao Rong, what does it matter if you are a false position.

But Zhao Kuangyi was angry and said loudly: "I read a lot of historical books of the previous dynasties, and I don't want to make eunuchs interfere in political affairs. ”

The Xuanhui Yuan is also a relatively strange system, with the envoys of the north and south courts, the general consul and the three classes of internal servants, the suburbs, the court meeting, the banquet and the ceremonies of the account, should be enshrined inside and outside, and its famous objects should be examined. There are also four cases below, soldiers, cavalry, warehouses, and crests. It should be an independent establishment to further divide the power of the Western Government. can be divided back and forth, and even Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu themselves are in chaos after being divided. Therefore, he was simply appointed as a privy deputy or as a precursor to the promotion of the privy deputy. Therefore, it is gradually placed in the category of Xifu rights. But it is not a subordinate of Xifu, so it often gives the prime minister of Xifu a headache, and it is not good to manage, no matter what. So the Southern Song Dynasty simply canceled this system.

This is only a microcosm of the chaos of officialdom and official positions in the Song Dynasty.

Lü Mengzheng may not be referring to this Xuanhui envoy.

Just like the Ping Zhang, Pan Mei is also a Ping Zhang matter. However, his ordinary work is a job, not bad. If he has no real power, what he has is when he has major military affairs. The right to enter the Senate of the West Mansion to make suggestions. The same is the East Mansion, the East Mansion is even more chaotic, the two provinces under the Zhongshu Gate have their own virtual officials, such as the order, the squire, this can not be taken seriously, the next is the chief of the sixth room of the Zhongshu Zhongshu Sheren, this is the first real power official below the East Mansion. However, it is often possible to use the Chinese scholar as an official and a seal to release officials.

Although there are very few meritorious officials who are regarded as officials, it is not impossible.

Lu Mengzheng was still arguing. However, Zhao Kuangyi shouted angrily, and Lu Mengzheng finally didn't dare to speak.

Zhao Kuangyi was not angry about this official position, but Lu Mengzheng was sometimes too active.

When he was the prime minister last time, he and Zhao Yuanyou were eyebrow-raising, and they couldn't hook up clearly. When he was the prime minister this time, he took the initiative to seek an official for the first eunuch in the palace.

Xiao Zhengzi, what do you mean?

Lu Mengzheng finally realized that Lu Dao had made a mistake, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak for several days.

Song Jiu did the same this time.

Isn't it clear to everyone, but sometimes the country needs the emperor's new clothes. Even if this fig leaf is just a cloud of air, it won't be good if it is pierced.

The difference is that Lu Mengzheng may be selfish, but Song Jiu is public, Lu Mengzheng didn't expect Zhao Kuangyi to be angry to that extent. Song Jiu knew that Zhao Kuangyi would be angry, but he still said it.

Lu Duan was "confused" again, he "couldn't see the situation clearly". Asked incomprehensibly: "Then Song Gong, can you use the Beiwei Army?" ”

Jing Si has a point. It's not good to practice, you have to go to the battlefield and try it. But this opponent can't be the Liao army, the most Lu is slightly weaker, fight a dozen to find the defects and then improve, slowly and really become a strong army, and then be able to fight with the Liao army in the future.

Song Jiu shook his head and said: "Yi Zhi, no, it has only been established for a short time, and many soldiers are drawn from the original Hedong garrison, although the training is first from the northwest and then transferred to Hedong, but if you want to build a form, it will take a while." Moreover, the state has invested a lot in this army, and the cost of raising one cavalry is equivalent to four infantry, and the cost of raising a cavalry of the back army is equivalent to seven or eight foot soldiers. Its opponent was the Liao State, not the common people. It can also be used, not at this time. Bashu is a basin climate, surrounded by mountains, the land is low and humid, it is the hot time. Most of the Beiwei troops are northern soldiers, and they will not be very suitable for entering Bashu at this time, and if a large amount of malaria is produced in the army, causing unnecessary casualties, it will be too worthless. It can be used, but it must be after autumn to enter Bashu. At that time, after several months of training, it has begun to take shape, and I am also looking forward to what the combat power will be. ”

Not only did he look forward to it, but Zhao Kuangyi also looked forward to it.

However, Song Jiu still has something to say, that is, after the autumn, he has to continue to fight.

……

"It's difficult, why are you suffering?" Zhang Changyan said.

The three Changyan were all important ministers of the court, so that Su Yijian once got drunk and wanted to change his son's name to Su Changyan. Su Yijian's son didn't dare to resist, so he went to his grandmother to make a small report, Su's mother came over, drank bitterly, and Su Yijian came to his senses.

This is Zhang Changyan lamenting Jiang Zheng.

Before Song Jiu's words fell, the imperial court received a military report from Bashu.

Li Shun caught it and killed a lot of rebels. But you can't kill the rebels together, that's hundreds of thousands of lives. No matter what Zhao Kuangyi instructed before leaving, and how Song Jiu further interpreted, Wang Jien didn't dare to do so. If you really do it, that hatred is called big.

Therefore, Li Shun's general Zhang Yu gathered tens of thousands of people in a short period of time and captured the eight prefectures of Jia, Rong, Lu, Chongqing, Fu, Zhong, Wan, and Kai, and the officials of the seven prefectures either surrendered or fled. Only Kaizhou supervised the army Qin Chuanxu to fight to the death, and all the governors of Kaizhou wanted to surrender, Qin Chuanxu said to the soldiers, do your best to defend the county seat, and my responsibility is also, and I can be exempted! There was a shortage of food in the city, so Qin Chuanxu took out some of his property and sold it, bought wine and meat, and rewarded the three armies. So some of the poor soldiers in the city wept and fought for it. However, there were too many rebels, and Qin Chuanxu knew that the city would inevitably be broken and sacrificed, so he sent someone to bring wax pills and silk books to the imperial court, and only said one sentence, the ministers fought to the death and swore not to surrender to the thieves.

The city was broken, and Qin Chuanxu committed suicide by throwing himself into the fire.

Zhang Yu attacked Kuizhou again, just Zhao Kuangyi sent Bai Jiyun to inspect the Gorge Road Capital, and after hearing about it, he led thousands of soldiers to march in the morning and night, and Murong Dechen, the nephew of Murong Yanzhao, the governor of Kuizhou, sent troops together, and let the inspection envoy relieve the guard Rong and attack on the back.

The peasant army is strong, it is a well-trained peasant army, not this peasant army.

In an instant, the rebels were defeated. And because of the terrain, it is not easy to escape. More than 20,000 people were killed by officers and soldiers, and the corpses were scattered down the river. The water is red.

Zhao Kuangyi issued an edict to commend him.

Jiang Zheng wrote to him, thinking that Zhao Kuangyi was wrong to do this, although this rebel army was rebellious, but it was willing, the court should focus on appeasement, just a group of rabble, as for killing so many people?

In the front book, the back issued an edict, and it was demoted to the governor of Langzhou.

Now I go to Sichuan to be an official. How dangerous is that?

Zhang Changyan and Jiang Zheng are both disciples of the Academy, and their families live on the north and south banks of Bianshui in the East Water Gate, and they are both officials of the three divisions, so they are very worried.

"What a fear!"

"Even if you're not afraid of death, don't bother Mr. Nine."

are all calling Song Gong, this Song Gong is worthless. But the word "gentleman" can only be shouted behind his back, the imperial court used many academy disciples as officials, and as Song Jiu faded out, most of the disciples had no direct teacher-student relationship with Song Jiu. But the earliest batch of students were all students of Song Jiu.

And they are the most prominent. The seniority is deep, although the proportion is small, but almost half of the academy disciples among the important officials can be called Song Jiu's students.

So Mr. Zhang Changyan called Mr. Jiu, of course, this can only be said behind his back. Don't dare to praise in front of outsiders.

"What's the explanation?"

"Song Jiu said to quit killing before, and later explained it for the traitor. Your move is suspected of being complied with. Now Mr. Jiu's achievements are high and ......"

The virtuous do not avoid relatives and enemies, which is called the virtuous style of the ancients. Can...... Don't take it seriously. For thousands of years, China has been a humane society. Jiang Zheng was silent.

"Let me ask Song Jiu for you."

Zhang Changyan in the name of office affairs. Find Song Jiu, and say the meaning of the future concisely.

Song Jiu Ha Ha was happy and said: "You all want to deviate, so let's do it, you and Zi Nan will come to my house together after you get off duty." ”

"To the Mansion?"

"Where you think, it is necessary to avoid suspicion, but if it is excessive, it is a fake, but it is a move to add to the snake."

In the evening, Jiang Zheng and Zhang Changyan came to Song Jiu's house suspiciously.

Song Jiu asked them to sit down and said, "You are all civilians, you may have heard military classes, but you are a layman to the military. The white inspector has few troops in his hands, no matter what the combat strength is, the traitors have several times more troops than them, if it is not for a single blow, they may be taken advantage of by the traitors. It had to be killed then. Besides, the three armies have killed their temperament, who can stop it. At that time, General Cao Bin took Taizu's letter, and after pretending to be sick, he forced the generals of the three armies to make an oath, and then entered Jiangning City. But after entering, did not all the soldiers take the people captive? So Bai Jiyun is not guilty. ”

Jiang Zheng pondered.

"No matter Your Majesty's instructions to Wang Jien before leaving, or I write to ask the three armies not to kill, if they are killed, they will be killed. They are just a framework, if they are tightly bound, how can the traitor be destroyed if he is so powerful? You can kill, but you can't kill after the war, and you can't turn into a robber like Taizu did, and you have to burn, kill, and plunder ordinary people. You are fortunate that your official position is not too heavy, otherwise it will make the front-line officers and soldiers feel embarrassed. This is the reason why His Majesty belittles you. If it is really angry, it is not Langzhou, but the state south of Chengdu. ”

"I ......"

"Your family is a merchant, and after hearing and witnessing, and through the teachings of the college, you are good at running a business. However, the identity of the merchant has always been a bit of a constraint on your career. Do it well after going down, you have done well in the third division in the past few years, and others will not pay attention to it, but they will definitely pay attention to you, as long as you do it well, it will help you in the future. ”

"How do I do that?"

"First of all, there are three ways, Langzhou was also looted by thieves a few months ago, and many large families were killed. One way is to find the original owners of these lands, even if they are not there, find their families, and let their relatives inherit them. The second way is to take advantage of the thief's power to meet the needs of the poor people, and distribute all cultivated land evenly according to the number of households to the greatest extent. The third way is for the large households that have not been harmed by the thieves, so that they can continue to own the original arable land and houses, and the rest will not deliberately seek their relatives to inherit and distribute them to the poor people. Which one do you choose? ”

"I'll take the third way."

"Good. The first is of course to win over the local heroes, that is, it continues to retain the original disadvantages of the times. The second way is to get rid of the original evils, but this country is inseparable from the support of Haoqiang. Once Haoqiang does not support it, although there is turmoil, you will not be able to move an inch in Langzhou. But the third one is not easy either. There must be relatives and relatives who forcibly claim the right to inherit, you don't have to remember that the land is distributed to poor households to the greatest extent, and the strong and powerful must also be co-opted, and Enwei will be used together, otherwise there will still be turmoil in Langzhou. ”

"I'll definitely remember it."

"In this case, before you leave, write a note based on this and hand it to Your Majesty."

"Whoa."

"Don't be so restrained, I'll say one more thing, if you want political achievements, one is to forgive the people, and the other is to increase taxes, as long as you do these two things well after you go down, then you will have political achievements."

Dashuang, who was serving tea, was stunned and couldn't help asking, "Isn't that right?" ”

Leaning the people must reduce taxes, and increasing taxes must be harsh on the people, just like water and fire, how to blend, either to ease the people or to increase taxes, you can only choose one of the two, how can you do both? (To be continued......)
