In the blink of an eye, the weather is getting colder and colder, but the city of Bianjing is in full swing, and now Kaifeng City has fully entered the renovation, demolishing the houses that were damaged when the city was broken, renovating the streets, repairing the palace of the government, strengthening the city defense, and dredging the moat that was filled by the Jin army. First, the New Year is approaching, and after the chaos, we must also create a harmonious and happy atmosphere; The other is that next year will be the year of the new emperor's change, and all countries will send envoys to congratulate them, and the ministers from all over the country will also enter Beijing to pay tribute, so they have to make some appearance!

However, some people in the city were not happy, they were all officials who had entered Beijing from all over the country, and some were officials waiting to be elected from Beijing; Some of the vassals who left their posts without permission during the war are now coming back to probe the rumors and want to get away with it; There are also officials who have been found to have problems and have been arrested in Beijing. As a result, they were all very uneasy, the rulers of the court and the central government have changed all over again, and the officialdom has also changed greatly.

In the past, those small officials who stretched out their hands to ask for money from various yamen did not dare to accept the money, because no one knew whether Lu Dao would meet the unlucky imperial history. Even if you don't touch the imperial history, no one knows if a small note will be stuffed into the big box in front of the Lu Dao Palace, which may ruin the future of your life. Now the officials also enjoy the salaries paid by the state, and they can sit in the hall and become officials with the scholars, and many of them have already become langzhong and hall officials in various ministries, and I heard that some of the officials in the surrounding states and counties have become magistrates and fellow magistrates.

The people of the capital are very happy, after the new emperor ascended the throne, he is really a newcomer and a new atmosphere, and under some governance, at least those 'big brothers and sisters-in-law' in Bianjing City have been killed and closed. In the past, the nobles who galloped on the streets, and the powerful sons who walked with their arms dangling have all disappeared, and the ruffians who bully and dominate the market have also become rats crossing the street. I don't dare to shake my majesty anymore.

In the past, whenever there was a festival or a celebration, the beggars of the city would be invited out of the city. Now that there is no need, the new emperor issued an edict to restore the Guanghuicang, which had been abolished several times, to relieve the victims, and allocated special funds to Futian Yuan and residential homes to accommodate widows, orphans, homeless people, and beggars. Anjifang was also widely set up to treat patients, and the medical corps of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was also open to civilians to participate in the treatment of diseases and rescue people. At the same time, the land was allocated to the temples so that they were responsible for the drainy garden and the burial of the dead and the poor.

"Widows and lonely, poor people of ancient times. The living are raised, the sick are treated, and the dead are buried, and the benefits are also generous." The implementation of a series of measures has quickly stabilized the morale of the people in the Gyeonggi region, and these measures have been quickly promoted in various places, which must have cost a lot of money. Now that the taxes are tight, what is needed can only make Zhao Ta bleed, of course, there is no need to dig into his own pocket. Rather, it is paid from the loot recovered, and it can be regarded as taking it from the people for the people...

After three months in power, Zhao Ta did not realize Kangxi's passion to live another 500 years, but he realized that Yongzheng was overwhelmed by state affairs. Every morning, as soon as I wake up, I have to go to the court to discuss matters. After retiring from the court, he discussed state affairs with the rulers, and at night he had to review the mountain of recitals until late at night, and he had to eat quickly. In the tired evening, I was not even interested in the major events of the inheritance.

Zhao Ta was so sleepy that he dozed off, but he could only look at the mountains of twists and turns on the case. "Defeated the Huainan giant Cao Cheng and captured the bandit chieftain Ma You. Li Hong, the leader of the bandits, is now making every effort to pursue and suppress the rest of Cao Cheng's troops..."He picked up a battle report sent by Gao Zhong and read it softly, this is good news.

Cao Chengbu was a rogue with the scattered government army as the backbone, and they used burning, killing and looting as their main source of economy, and even amassed wealth under the banner of anti-corruption of 'chasing stolen goods and helping salaries', which was almost no different from bandits. However, there is no policy program to boost morale and morale internally; Externally, it not only harms the country, but also harms the people.

Now, due to the invasion of the Jin army, the government has become the backbone of national interests, and the contradictions between the original government and the people in the country have eased, and the main contradiction has risen to a national contradiction.

These rogue gangsters are mobile and fighting, walking all the way to grab the road, lacking a base area that can be attacked, retreated, and defended, and after a long time, the soldiers, food and grass cannot be replenished in time. After being attacked by government forces and suffering setbacks, there was a situation of scattered in a hurry. After the defeat of Cao Chengbu, Ma You and Li Hong, who formed an alliance with him, sat back and watched and put themselves in a wait-and-see state, but they were broken one by one by Gao Zhong and quickly collapsed.

"If you don't ask, the bandit leader will be punished, and you can use it to appease you, quickly calm the bandits, and control Jiangnan!" Zhao Ta mentioned that blindly appeasement will only make those who are lucky repeat the mistakes of the past, constantly raise the price, and fall into a situation of more and more suppression, and he wants to dispel the illusion of those who take rebellion as an advancement.

There is good news and bad news, and Zhao Yong is in trouble. The main enemies of the Great Song Dynasty were still in the northwest and north, and Zhao Ta's deployment of troops was also to adopt the policy of emphasizing the north over the south, and the reception of Hebei and Hezhong was very smooth, but it ran into trouble in Shaanxi.

Since Zhao Ta's recovery of Lingzhou, the defense posture in the northwest has changed greatly, and geographically speaking, there are very few areas bordering Shaanxi and Western Xia, and they are no longer at the forefront of the war, and strategically speaking, they have retreated to the second line. However, in order to grasp the military power, Tong Guan did not adjust the strength of Shaanxi, and even if he transferred troops many times since then, the Shaanxi army still followed the wartime system and stationed heavy troops.

In order to strengthen the defense of Western Xia, the Shaanxi army was divided into six roads, including Yongxing Army, Yanyan, Huanqing, Qinfeng, Jingyuan, and Xihe, with a total of 120,000 infantry troops and 60,000 horse troops, which belonged to the Yongxing Army under the command of Wu Jue, Huanqing Road, Zhao Zhe, Sun Wu, Qinfeng, and Liu Qi, the Jingyuan Route.

Zhao Ta had also thought about dealing with the affairs of the Shaanxi Army before, and he knew that this matter would not go too smoothly, and in fact, it would be impossible to calmly reorganize such a neat army. However, in the current situation where the Song and Xia countries have ceased their troops, it is unrealistic and impossible to keep a standing army of 180,000 in Shaanxi. His plan was to dismantle the Shaanxi Army, some of which were selected into the New Army, some of which were transferred to the Shaanxi Local Army, and some of which were transferred to Hezhong and Yunzhong to strengthen the strength of the two places, and the rest were retired or transferred to the Reclamation Army.

After the gradual decline of the forbidden army, the Western Army became the mainstay of the Song Army, and there were many famous generals. Among the major military groups in the northwest, they are headed by the two families of Chong and Yao, both of which are famous generals in the northwest, with the greatest merits, the heaviest prestige, and the strongest soldiers and horses, and have always been the leaders of the generals in the northwest. However, in the Jingkang period, the two representatives of the seed family, the seed master, died of illness, and the power of the seed family collapsed, and the two representatives of the Yao family, Yao Gu, were demoted and Yao Pingzhong ran away, so that the power of the Yao family no longer existed.

In the early years of the Song Dynasty, there were Yang, Chong, Yao, and Zhe four major generals in the northwest, and the Yang family disappeared in the smoke and clouds of history after only three generations. Although the folded family has also gone downhill, but it is finally the only fruit left, Zhao Ta considered that after consideration, the folded family as his own in-laws, loyalty is needless to say, so he first transferred the fold can be saved as the Shaanxi soldier pacification envoy, so as to be able to smoothly reorganize the Shaanxi army, and after the adaptation, the folded family will lose the military power, and there is no situation where relatives interfere in politics.

Zhao Ta's abacus played well, and he wanted to use the prestige of the folded family to deter the generals in Shaanxi, but he still miscalculated. The leaderless generals of the Northwest want to take the opportunity to 'stand out' in the chaotic situation and fight for their place in the troubled times. After the collapse of the two major military groups of Chong and Yao, among the generals in the northwest, the Jingyuan capital commanded Quduan with the highest reputation and the greatest power, this person was known as "able to write and martial arts", and did not show favoritism, he sent his uncle to fight, and after the defeat, he was beheaded, and he did have a certain talent.

It's a pity that Qu Duan is selfish, has a weak view of the overall situation, and is full of personal heroism and local mountaineering. Earlier, when Master Dao and Yao Gu were there, it was not his turn to call the shots in Shaanxi, and Qu Duan naturally had nothing to say, but since these people were gone, Qu Duan thought that the time had come for him to be the king and hegemon.

However, the imperial court sent another Fold Kecun, which immediately made Qu Duan very dissatisfied, plus the Fold family was also from a family, Qu Duan looked down on these second generations of officials from the heart, thinking that the Fold family was just an in-law with the new monarch and ran to Shaanxi to grab land, so he didn't want to be restrained by him, so he instigated all the military generals to jointly write a letter and refuse to reorganize on the grounds that the forbidden army would be turned into a local army, and their military salaries, benefits and benefits would be reduced.

"Damn, it's another person who doesn't know how to eat a few bowls of dry rice by himself..."Zhao Ta threw the fold aside and sneered, not to mention that the Jurchens and the Tangut people are more cattle than them, and they dare to argue with themselves after two victories, and they don't obey the emperor's orders, and they take themselves too seriously.

Throughout the previous use of troops in the Great Song Dynasty, all of them were not strict in order, military discipline and state law were like a fictitious, those who fled in battle were not severely punished, those who died on the battlefield were not compensated, the rewards and punishments were unclear, the military discipline was sloppy, and the confrontation with the enemy army was either fleeing from the wind, or it was crushed at the first touch, and if there was a slight gain, it was a lie about the victory, and the upper and lower levels were deceived and deceitful, and the battle was regarded as child's play. The treatment of the sergeants and the people of the country is both ferocious and arrogant, arresting people and acting resolutely, and killing the poor to look hideous. It seems that the move to abolish the original forbidden army and rebuild the new army is the right move.

"Avoid conflicts, take the lead, divide and disintegrate, and break each one!" Zhao Ta thought about it, and wrote an edict to Zhao Yongjun... (To be continued......)
