Chapter 329: Mutiny (4)

The process of rectifying Huaixi's military affairs, as Yue Fei had predicted to Zhang Jun before, was not at all unpleasant.

"The Huaixi army has many rebels and thieves, and the chaos is in the palm of your hand. Wang De and Li Qiong are so equal, they are not inferior, once they are on top, they will fight. Although Lü Shangshu (Lü Zhi is a generalist in the military department and a military officer of the Governor's Office), the scholar does not learn the military and is not enough to convince the public. Fei said that the generals must be selected to pay for it, and then it can be determined, otherwise, this Cao is not measurable. ”

When Li Qiong was forced to rebel, come back and read Yue Fei's words, only to know Yue Fei's good intentions.

It's a pity that because of Zhang Jun's arrogance, Yue Fei's efforts were in vain

In any case, the mutiny in Huaixi has become an irreversible fact. This incident had a huge and far-reaching impact on the Southern Song court:

Impact 1: The Southern Song Dynasty lost more than 40,000 elite troops due to the mutiny.

The Huaixi army is mostly composed of Shaanxi people, and in a sense, it is not too much to say that the Huaixi army belongs to the Western army. Liu Guangshi himself was also born in the Western Army, and was a high-ranking and powerful military in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he was also the first person among the four generals of Zhongxing to win the title of Envoy of the Three Towns Festival.

It's not that the Huaixi Army can't fight, but because Liu Guangshi was affected by his father's accidental death on the battlefield and implemented an escape policy of preserving his strength, he later brought a very bad reputation to the Huaixi Army.

In fact, the Huaixi Army's personal combat strength made even Yue Fei salivate.

Influence 2, the mutiny of the Huaixi Army led to the Southern Song Dynasty Yangtze River Defense Area was torn apart by Jin Qi without a fight, which caused the emptiness of the Southern Song Dynasty's defense along the river.

For this. Later, the Southern Song Dynasty court had to order Yue Fei to send more than 4,000 sailors to the Chizhou and Jiangzhou defense lines. Yue Fei himself must also expand the defense area. He personally led the army to Jiangzhou and stationed there.

On the other hand, Zhang Jun, Yang Yi and others must also divide their troops to garrison in the Huaixi area to fill the defensive gap in this area.

Despite this, the defense of this area was still in a blank state, and the mutiny occurred when Shaoxing was about to defend against autumn in the seventh year, which had a major impact on the overall military layout of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Impact 3: After the Huaixi Mutiny, the strategic measures of the Song court underwent major changes.

Prior to this, Song Gaozong had 300,000 male divisions. Under Zhang Jun's strong encouragement, the Song Dynasty started from the third year of Shaoxing to the seventh year of Shaoxing. In particular, Shaoxing has been the biggest in six or seven years.

This can be seen from the geographical location of Song Gaozongxing:

Yuezhou Mansion, Lin'an Mansion, Pingjiang Mansion, and finally arrived at Jiankang Mansion on the edge of the Yangtze River. The movement of this road to the north also shows the enterprising attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty court and Emperor Gaozong at this time.

Let's not talk about how Zhang Jun fought with Zhao Ding in the Southern Song Dynasty during this period, and how radical Zhang Jun was after becoming independent, at least Emperor Gaozong himself still acquiesced and let Zhang Jun do it.

From a macro point of view, Zhang Jun's policy is still correct.

Whether it is the arrangement in Sichuan and Shaanxi in the early stage or the secondary defense in the Yangtze River defense line in the later stage, the overall policy and layout are very ingenious and reasonable, and great achievements have been made.

If there had not been this Huaixi mutiny. With Zhang Jun's enterprising momentum and influence on Emperor Zhao Gou, with the advance of Han Shizhong and Yue Fei's army into the Central Plains. With Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Yang Yizhong consolidating and occupying the existing land, and with the Wu Jie brothers' defense of Sichuan and Shaanxi.

If this situation continues to develop steadily, it is not impossible to recover the Central Plains, and even more optimistically, even if it is subdued by the Youyan Prefecture Governments, there is great hope.

It's a pity that Zhang Jun is good at macro management and weak at the ability to regulate details. This was the case in the previous Battle of Fuping in Shaanxi, and this time it was also the same in the issue of the incorporation of the Huaixi Army.

Of course, everyone has his strengths and weaknesses, so it is not a problem that Zhang Jun has shortcomings, but the problem is that he has shortcomings and does not know it.

has no self-knowledge, self-righteousness, and strong selfishness, these three shortcomings cost Zhang Jun's life.

Just imagine, if Yue Fei is allowed to master the Huaixi army; If Wang De can understand the world and appease Li Qiong and his subordinates; If it weren't for the scholar Lu Zhi to be co-opted; If Lü Zhi's official letter had not been intercepted by Li Qiong, the Huaixi army would have been smoothly divided......

If any of the above assumptions appears, it is absolutely impossible for the Huaixi Mutiny to occur.

However, history has no ifs.

The Huaixi Mutiny caused Zhang Jun's political ideas to gradually be submerged in the political struggle of the Southern Song Dynasty.

First, Zhao Ding moved the emperor's line back to Lin'an. After Zhao Ding was ousted by Qin Huidou, Gaozong completely moved towards a political line dominated by compromise and surrender.

The Huaixi Mutiny left a painful lesson for the Song people, after Gaozong, many Song people reflected on this mutiny, and their analysis was quite to the point, which is quoted here:

"The imperial court used Lu Zhi to replace Liu Guangshi, which led to Li Qiong's rebellion. The army of Gai Guangshi, many thieves in Shaanxi, is the most mixed and difficult to treat. Westerners are heavy on the world, and the light world is the general, so they can only be presidents. Li Qiong and Wang De are both lovers of the world. The two of them are not inferior on weekdays, and if they are replaced by a famous general, they can control and make meritorious contributions. The imperial court began to use the public (Yue Fei) to replace the glorious world, and it was obtained. It has changed in the middle, and it is easy to use Lu Zhi, so the two generals are unscrupulous and fight, Qiong is afraid and plots rebellion, and Liu Yu lures him with high-ranking officials, so he loses one of the troops in Huaixi. Otherwise, Gong (Yue Fei) will be restored. Today, the mediocre people and children all know the prestige of the public, as for the great plan of the prince (Yue Fei), and the reason why the husband's work is unsuccessful, the scholar does not know. ”

After the Huaixi Mutiny, the whole country was scolded, and the spearhead was directed at Zhang Jun, including our Yue Dashuai.

For Zhang Jun, Yue Fei couldn't wait to cut him with his own hands.

The Huaixi Mutiny was not only as simple as the Southern Song Dynasty losing more than 40,000 troops, but also one of the five major military regions being emptied, and the overall situation changed in an instant, and the Southern Song Dynasty no longer had the capital to attack.

Yue Fei wanted to go on a northern expedition, so he could only wait for another opportunity. And the opportunity ...... When the army is strong again, and the so-called conditions are ripe, what year will it be?

The above may be Yue Fei's opinion. As for the rest of the Southern Song people, the view is even simpler.

It couldn't have been easier. Previously, in order to take down the left guard, the emperor personally came forward. Coupled with the presence of the strongest generals in person. to subdue the ruffians; But Zhang Jun actually just sent a white-faced scholar who had never been on the battlefield to kill anyone and seen blood.

…… Comparison of the two. Even a fool can know that something will happen to Lu Dao!

Zhang Jun is so idiotic that he really doesn't know what to say, and he is blinded by lard.

Therefore, the imperial court issued an official evaluation of Zhang Jun, that is, the impeachment speech of the chief of the imperial history platform,

“…… Zhang Jun is light and unscrupulous, stupid and self-serving. Virtue is not enough to convince people, but only to rely on their power; Honesty is not enough to use the public. And full-time of the number. If you are happy and angry, if you are angry and happy, although there is no doubt about it, you will have doubts. Give and retake, take and regain, although there is no resentment, all make the meaning of impatience. If there is nothing to do, Zhang Wei will be arrogant, so that there is a feeling of separation between the top and bottom; If there is an urgency, he will be willing to speak with good words, so that the soldiers have the will to insult. ”

The decision on Zhang Jun's punishment came down quickly.

Emperor Gaozong personally ordered Zhang Jun to be relieved of all duties. He was demoted to a loose official and exiled to Lingnan. In terms of strength. This is the second heaviest punishment after killing the head.

Even so, Emperor Gaozong was not enough, and later added a sentence:-

Never again.

The decisive battle of Fuping and the Huaixi mutiny, which of these two events are enough to decide the fate of the country, actually happened to the same person in a row, in addition to showing that this person himself is too fucked, what is the matter with the leaders who use this person?

Emperor Gaozong was crazy, and he wanted to stick a piece of tofu on the wall and kill him, why was he so dizzy that he couldn't see this peerless fool clearly?

Hate and hate, Emperor Gaozong still summoned Zhang Jun into the palace alone, and consulted about administrative issues after the end:

"Zhang Qingjia, who do you think will take your place?"

Emperor Gaozong has really grown up, and the handling of government affairs has become more and more mature.

He can hold back the anger of renunciation and do everything sensibly. Although Zhang Jun has done things in a mess, he still has a good ability - to see people.

Regarding Emperor Gaozong's questioning, Zhang Jun was suddenly stunned. Because at this moment, he suddenly recalled the conversation with Yue Fei in the Governor's Mansion.

This situation and this scene are so similar.

Zhang Jun regrets it now.

Seeing that Zhang Jun was silent, Emperor Gaozong asked, "How is Qin Hui?" ”

Emperor Gaozong asked this, not because he had any thoughts about Qin Hui, but because of this, Qin Hui was on the right side. If something happens to the left, the right phase is also a proper move.

For Qin Hui, who was picked up by himself, Zhang Jun was really dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he was speechless.

In the Huaixi Mutiny, this feminine and deceitful guy made a lot of small actions behind his back: such as transferring Wang De away from the Huaixi army, such as dissuading Zhang Jun from visiting the Huaixi army in person when the news was wrong, and so on.

In fact, the Huaixi Mutiny really had to be investigated, and Qin Hui, the privy envoy of the main army, could not escape the blame. Qin Hui relied on his work to be hidden, not only did not suffer an impeachment arrow, but transferred all the problems to Zhang Jun.

It's just that Qin Hui is too desperate to do things, and he doesn't leak, so Zhang Jun can't catch his handle.

In desperation, Zhang Jun could only say to Emperor Gaozong: "When you work closely with you, you know the secret. ”

I didn't know before, but now that we've worked together for a while, I realize that this person is really too dark.

Zhang Jun's statement is really no way.

Emperor Gaozong thought thoughtfully and nodded, then choose Zhao Ding, he is still experienced.

Zhang Jun nodded in agreement.

Zhao Gou then gave him the last task, which he wrote and went to the capital to write Zhao Ding's worship system.

Late that night, Zhang Jun sat upright in the capital hall, writing hymns about Zhao Ding stroke by stroke. If you are not the most talented and virtuous person in the country, how can you become the prime minister of the court? Written like this, Zhang Jun's heart hurts like a knife cutting.

Suddenly, I remembered a song by Cui Jian: Like a knife.

jinjinjin

A bare knife, it shines brightly

The old man showed remorse

He frowned, and he pouted

I don't know if it's anger or sin

Don't be in a hurry, my darling

We weren't born to be right

But the power in me is like a knife

It is to be firmly planted in the land

Zhang Jun understood that this was one of the punishments given to him by Emperor Gaozong.

Don't you want to be official, don't you like power? It's up to you to write the edict of throwing someone else's superiority, and watch others get what you lost from the closest distance! (To be continued......)
