Chapter 85 Fuzhou Zhizhou and the Northern Expedition
Zhao Jiaren always felt that Jia Rudao was going to target him between the New Year's Day of the fourth year of Jingding and the Shangyuan Festival, but in late January of the fourth year of Jingding, he felt that he might think too highly of himself.
At least Jia Yidao didn't make any drastic demands. Regarding the cotton business, Jia Yidao said that he was not in a hurry, and in principle, he would arrange the cotton service based on the total profit of one million yuan mentioned by Zhao Jiaren. Now Zhao Jiaren can go to Fuzhou to take office, and at this time we can talk later.
Zhao Jiaren knew that 'historically' Jia Yidao was implementing the public land reform at this time under the instigation of Liu Lianggui, the prefect of Lin'an, so he had no confidence in the matter of cotton affairs. The current problem of the Great Song Dynasty is the lack of money, and the collapse of any regime begins with the financial collapse, and the Great Song Dynasty is no exception. In the decade or so before its demise, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty rapidly deteriorated. In the twenty or thirty years before the rapid decay, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty were in a situation of rapid decay.
If the cotton business can really provide Jia Nidao with a stable source of money, it is likely that Jia Nidao's plan to earn only one million yuan a year that he believes at this time will eventually become a big pit. However, this is not a problem that Zhao Jiaren should consider, all Zhao Jiaren has to do is to run back to Quanzhou to grasp the situation.
After receiving Zhao Jiaren's assurance that he would "definitely support cotton affairs", Jia Yidao did not immediately send Zhao Jiaren away, but asked Zhao Jiaren about his plans for governance after he became the governor of Fuzhou.
Zhao Jiaren immediately informed Jia Yidao of what he thought, "Expand shipping in the South China Sea and open the shipping route to Jiaozhi and Zhancheng." Jia Gong, I am ready to rectify the left wing army of the front division of the palace. Since there is a left-wing army on Fujian Road, I don't want to spend so much money every year to support so many thousands of people, but I want to let the Huaixi soldiers arrest the thieves. ”
Hearing the rectification of the army, Jia Rudao already showed an expression of agreement, "I don't know how Jiaren is going to rectify it?" ”
Seeing that Jia Rudao had a meaning of support, Zhao Jiaren replied decisively: "I want to cancel the tattoo first." Fujian people are reluctant to serve as soldiers, a large reason is because after the tattoo is considered to be a military match. Jia Gong, anyway, the left-wing army can't fight without tattooing, so what if it is treated leniently? ”
Hearing the non-piercing words, Jia Rudao had a disapproving expression. The cancellation of the tattooing of soldiers is not the first thing Zhao Jiaren proposed, whether it is the Northern Song Dynasty or the Southern Song Dynasty, there are many people who put forward this proposal. Moreover, the Great Song Dynasty is only relatively conservative in this regard, and because the number of troops is insufficient, the escape of soldiers always raises questions about the management of soldiers, so this matter has been delayed. Moreover, there are also some soldiers in the Great Song Army who can not stab, hearing that Zhao Jiaren is so serious about this matter, Jia Rudao replied: "This matter is on the last charter, and I am afraid that it will be useless if you and I talk about it." ”
Seeing that there was a drama in this matter, Zhao Jiaren continued: "The rest of the matter is only to manage it well." ”
After hearing this, Jia Yidao nodded, and then asked, "Does Jiaren have any impression of Li Pu?" ”
"Li Pu?" Zhao Jiaren knew several people named Li Pu, the most famous of which was the current 'King of Qi County of the Great Song Dynasty, the envoy of Shandong Jiedu' Li Pu. Since the fall of the Qi Kingdom, the King of Qi and people with a similar status to the King of Qi have not had a good end. However, Zhao Jiaren was not sure that Jia Yidao was referring to this Li Pu.
"It's Shandong Li Pu. I remember Kahito fighting him. Jia Rudao said.
"I haven't seen that person." Zhao Jiaren replied.
Li Pu had no intention of returning to the Great Song Dynasty, but just raised troops against Mongolia, so he took the banner of the Great Song Dynasty as a foil for him. After Kublai Khan went north last year, Li Pu rebelled. However, instead of attacking the city, he ran to capture Jinan, waiting for the other army leaders to submit to him. Hmph, what are the military heads, then Li Pu is really delusional. Jia Yidao's words revealed his great contempt for the military leaders.
Zhao Jiaren also didn't have the slightest affection for the warlord, so he nodded yes.
Seeing that Zhao Jiaren agreed, Jia Rudao continued: "At this time, Li Pu was besieged in Jinan by the military leaders of Shandong and Yandi, and he sent people to ask for help. Although Li Pu is not credible, he cannot completely turn a blind eye. The imperial court has already sent troops to attack from the south road, and also wants to send a naval army to transport troops to the Bohai Sea and enter the Yan Land. I want Jiaren to lead this naval army, I don't know if Jiaren can agree. ”
"Let me lead the troops?" Zhao Jiaren felt a little confused, and seemed to understand something.
When Jia Yidao saw Zhao Jiaren's face, he said with a little apology: "Leading the troops is a rough thing, and I don't want to come to Jiaren." And let Jiaren lead the troops to fight, and if he wins, it will not be glorious, and if he loses, he will be guilty. So I just want Jiaren to be in charge of transporting the troops. ”
Zhao Jiaren immediately objected, "Jia Gong, if I am defeated, someone says that I failed to send a ship to receive the troops on land in time, how can I defend myself?" I can't say that all the sailors are back. If I had said so, I would have been punished by the ministers of the DPRK and China for abandoning my allies. This is absolutely not a no-go. ”
Jia Rudao had long thought that Zhao Jiaren would not agree, as Zhao Jiaren said, sending the army to attack Yandi by sea this time was originally a military adventure. Jia seems to say that he doesn't think there is much chance of success. In the current Lin'an Imperial Court, everyone recognizes that Zhao Jiaren is a civilian official who knows the soldiers, so it is even more impossible for Zhao Jiaren to agree.
However, Jia Rudao also had to take some military adventures, so he continued to persuade: "Jia Ren. If this Li Pu can hold on for a while, my Da Song will be able to relax for a while. Now I don't want Li Pu to win, the court just wants to save Li Pu from Jinan. Li Pu has 20,000 elites in his hands, and after he gets out of the cage, Mongolia should not be able to go south for a year or two in order to exterminate Li Pu. ”
"If Jia Xianggong can agree to abolish the tattooing of the Left Wing Army on Fujian Road, I can lead the Left Wing Army and the Navy Army to Shandong to try it." Zhao Jiaren replied.
Without waiting for Jia Xiangdao to answer, Zhao Jiaren decisively sealed other possibilities first, "If Jia Xianggong asks me to cooperate with others, then ask Jia Xianggong to ask Gao Ming." ”
"Then when will Jia Ren be able to send troops?" Jia Rudao's face was already full of joy.
Zhao Jiaren hurriedly waved his hand, "Wait, there is one more thing, I can send troops to Jinan." However, if Mongolia is strong in Shandong, I can only go ashore and leave. After all, I only have infantry in my hands, and there are a lot of Mongol cavalry. If it was overtaken by the Mongol cavalry, the Left Wing Army would not be an opponent at all. ”
"Yes. As long as Jiaren can go ashore on the other side of the Bohai Sea. Just intimidate Mongolia. Jia Rudao replied very simply. He sent an army to attack Yandi along the coast, not at all to rescue Li Pu, but to deter the Mongols. Let the Mongols know the power of the Great Song Naval Army. If the Mongols were able to devote their large army to defending against the possible naval offensive of the Great Song Dynasty, they would not have more troops to wage land warfare. This is also a strategic consideration for Jia Yidao.
Now that Zhao Jiaren, who knows the army, is coming to carry out this military operation, Jia Yidao feels very happy.
After the two negotiated, Zhao Jiaren went home and waited for news. On the third day, the officials called Zhao Jiaren and gave him an official document appointing him as the governor of Fuzhou. Zhao Jiaren also immediately put forward a proposal to the imperial court as the governor of Fuzhou and the pacification envoy of Fujian Road, put forward a proposal to abolish the tattoo system, and requested that Fujian Road take the lead in trial.
After a short discussion, the imperial court asked the left wing army of Fujian Road to invade Yandi in the north to deter Mongolia. to prove that the abolition of the tattoo is effective.
After Zhao Jiaren received the order, such a play officially ended. However, Zhao Jiaren didn't tell anyone, he really wanted to try to save Li Pu. To be more precise, it was not to save Li Pu, but to go and get some descendants of the rainstorm pear spear back.
Li Pu really has nothing to talk about, but Li Pu's mother, some people say that she is Li Pu's adoptive mother, is a very famous figure. The woman's name is Yang Miaozhen. Yang Miao is really a martial artist at the end of the Golden Dynasty. A native of Yidu (now Shandong). The sister of Yang An'er, the leader of the Red Jacket Army, is called the "Four Ladies". After Yang An'er's death, he led his troops to join Li Quan, married a couple, and joined Li Quan in the Song Dynasty, and later surrendered to Mongolia and attacked the Southern Song Dynasty. Yang Miao is really good at riding and shooting, and the pear flower gun created is known as the invincible hand in the world, and is respected by later generations of military strategists.
There are also descendants of the Yang family gun in the Great Song Army, but the Yang family gun is the Yang family gun handed down from Yang Ye's side. Zhao Jiaren had long heard of the name of the Rainstorm Pear Flower Gun, and he really wanted to see what such a famous spear technique was all about. If Li Pu can be saved, he should be able to have a chance to fulfill Zhao Jiaren's wish.
Just when Zhao Jiaren was preparing to return to Quanzhou, Liu Lianggui and others proposed that the content of the public land reform plan agreed with Jia Yidao was finally published in the Di Bao. It seems that the Tao is the order of the palace to serve the imperial history Chen Yaodao, the right Zhengyan Cao Xiaoqing, the supervision of the imperial history Yu Yu, and Zhang Xiyan said: "The three sides are in the column, and they are not full of food; All roads and alleys, not to do it. If it is not exempt from the soldiers, it is advisable to make peace with the broad; If it is not exempt from peacemaking, the coin is not allowed to shrink. For today's sake, those who want to facilitate the country and facilitate the people to run military food and pay a heavy price should not follow the ancestral system of limiting fields. Counting by official products, counting by grade, the next two Zhejiang, Jiangdong, West and Bian, first merged and analyzed, and then the number of official land properties exceeded the limit by one-third, and bought back to confiscate the land. However, if you get 10 million acres of land, you can collect 6 or 7 million stone of rice per year, and you can have more than enough money for military salaries, you can avoid peace, you can pay the army, you can make coins, you can level the prices, you can level the rich room, and you can do it and make five profits. ”
If Zhao Jiaren's previous life actually agreed with the reform of public land, he thought that the land restriction order should indeed be. If Zhao Jiaren was a few years younger in this life, he would also agree. However, at this time, Zhao Jiaren's vision was different, and he did not support the Gongtian Law.
After thinking about it, Zhao Jiaren wrote a letter, and the letter was still the point that Zhao Jiaren had put forward before. No matter how well the public land law is conceived and how well it is planned, it faces a huge problem, that is, there are not enough officials to enforce the public land law. And if any policy is not enforced, the result is bound to be failure.
However, after the letter was written, Zhao Jiaren worked on the letter for a while, and he burned the letter. Watching the letterhead full of words burned, Zhao Jiaren was very melancholy.
Jia Rudao pushed for a problematic policy, while Zhao Jiaren made a proposal that simply could not be implemented. Both of them have Great Song in their hearts, but both of them are wrong.
However, Zhao Jiaren suddenly felt that he was not unhappy about it. He simply wrote another letter about sex, which was the same content. However, the recipient was not Jia Yidao, but Wen Tianxiang. Since Wen Tianxiang and Jia Yidao do not deal with each other, if Wen Tianxiang can make this suggestion, it can be regarded as Zhao Jiaren doing his meager help.
Leaving the matter of public land reform behind, Zhao Jiaren, the governor of Fuzhou, got on the boat and set off towards Fuzhou, the new place.
