Chapter 540, born to be a general

"Hmph, it's just a moment of luck. ”

The DPRK and China discussed, and the DPRK and the outside were not idle. What Ning Caichen did had such a great impact that not only made the people excited, but also annoyed many people.

"Brother Wei, is your deal finished?"

"Who said no, if he mixes up, how can the Hu people buy our things again. ”

The world is bustling, all for profit, and the world is bustling, all for profit. Since the trade routes were opened, a large number of people have traded with Hudi.

This is also the reason why the literati attacked the businessmen only for profit and had no moral character.

"Brother Guangyuan, isn't this Brother Guangyuan? What's wrong with you?"

The two merchants were talking, but they saw a middle-aged man with a disheveled hair coming madly. "It's over, it's all over...... It's confiscated, there's no money!"

"What's wrong with him?" said the two merchants.

"He's miserable enough. This time, it was supposed to sell a batch of ordnance to the Liao people for a certain adult, but our Lord Ning copied the county town of the Liao people. The Liao man was angry, so he detained his batch of ordnance and did not give him a penny of silver. But the ordnance was not his, and the lord's money was wanted, so ......"

After hearing this, he shook his head and sighed: "It's miserable enough." But how can he sell ordnance to Hudi?"

"This is the layout of the big guys, I heard that they are selling weapons and Hu people, and the Hu people will not make their own weapons. ”

"What's that?"

"Alas, this is the idea of a big man, and you and I don't understand it. To appease the Hu people with strange tricks and tricks, it is enough for me to have the words of a saint in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

History is always strikingly similar. The 79 Tangshan earthquake, the materials sent from all over the country, Tangshan people don't want to eat or drink. As long as Mao Zhang and Mao language.

Influenced by propaganda, the Great Song Dynasty also thought that only books were fundamental, and the craftsmen produced were all strange and skillful, and handing them over to others was only a loss of skin.

Everything is inferior. Only reading is high. This has been the practice of the DPRK beforehand. Japan can get the Tang knife method, isn't it the Tang Dynasty's "craftsman workshop salty and viewing".

Although later generations desperately explained that the Japanese were the craft of taking advantage of the war in the Central Plains, history is history. What really makes the Japanese Tang knife technology incomplete, but it is the gateway view that later generations criticized. It was the craftsmen who kept their skills that the Japanese students did not learn everything.

If it's a war-torn craftsman. How can it not be complete?

No matter what the strategic layout of this big man is, it is really with the blade of the army, so that it loses its production capacity. It is still a policy for the family to protect itself, leave a line in things, and wait for the Hu people to re-enter the Central Plains and continue to inherit the family.

In this court, at this moment, they all have to recite the emperor's holy light. Happy Zhao Ji laughed.

"Okay! Send someone to meet them at once. Returnees. The household must be settled!"

"Your Majesty, I can't send anyone to greet Lord Ning now, according to the spies, Lord Ning and they are now turning southeast. At present, there are bandits in Shandong, Song Jiang ......"

Only then did Zhao Ji remember that Shandong was in turmoil. "How is this good? Send someone to inform him immediately. Let him lead the crowd to the capital ......"

"Father, don't!" Prince Zhao Xuan suddenly stood up.

Zhao Ji: "Prince, why not?"

Zhao Xuan bowed down so that Zhao Ji could not see his expression, and then said, "Father, Lord Ning is a natural genius. Born to plant, with more than 100 people, the Liao people will be turned upside down......"

Zhao Ji nodded again and again when he heard this, although Zhao Ji himself propagated that the Liao people's armament was relaxed. But it is still possible to use more than 100 people to say a word about talents. What's more important is that his crown prince is finally no longer hostile to his minister, which is good, very good.

But Zhao Xuan praised it not long ago, but changed the topic and said: "Now." He led a hundred thousand people, once he came to the capital ......"

Needless to say. ...,

Although this Zhao family. Except for Zhao Kuangyin, there are no generals. I will never be able to figure out that these more than 100 elites can step on the company camp and win more with less. Why can't 100,000 people do it?

They don't understand this kind of truth. They only knew that their ancestor Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added. This is what their descendants will remember.

And Ning Caichen's ability to crisscross the Liao with more than 100 people is obviously not a talent they have.

Now Ning Caichen has 100,000 people, but Tong Guan has just taken away 150,000 elite soldiers.

It's not that Zhao Ji believes that Ning Caichen will rebel, but that their Zhao family will never put themselves in such a dangerous situation, even if you are a loyal courtier, they are not willing to take this risk. "Emperor, what do you say?"

"Father, these 100,000 people must not enter the border along them, they should be expelled!" Zhao Xuan, who lowered his head, no one saw his ruthless face, but his proposal made the entire court a vegetable market.

It is a great honor for people to come across thousands of mountains and rivers, whether it is for the emperor or the courtiers, this is an honor second only to the coming dynasty of all nations. It is the centripetal force of culture that pushes them back.

How can such an honor be avoided? Who doesn't want it? Don't want to go down in history?

"Emperor. "Even Zhao Ji wants it too.

Zhao Xuan said: "There are thieves in Shandong and the south. Who of you dares to say that all this is not a trick of the Liao people. In case this person is the vanguard of the Liao people, which of you can afford to take this responsibility in the event of a mess? ”

Quiet-

They really hadn't considered that possibility. But, is this possible?

The ministers looked dazed or unconvinced.

Zhao Ji also said: "If you are taught by the saints, you will rebel." Is this so credible that it doesn't listen to the words of the saints and transform the people from outside?"

Zhao Xuan's words made all the ministers red-faced, because they were all Confucian scholars. The reason for the exclusive respect for Confucianism is that other scholars have no king and no father, and they are easy to rebel, and Confucianism will not.

Of course, Shandong and the south are opposed, and they don't think that Confucianism is not, but that the rebels don't learn it well.

It's just that in this way, they can't oppose Zhao Xuan. After all, once the cause of the rebellion is human, it has nothing to do with academics. Then "if you enter, you will be Chinese, and if you go out, you will be barbarian", which can prove that Zhao Xuan's worries are right.

Huaxia is all anti, not to mention barbarians.

Zhao Ji also thought of this, and couldn't help asking: "Zhongqing's family, what should be done about this matter?"

Then. I saw Chai Tong stand up and say, "Your Majesty." Now Lord Ning has not rebelled, but has meritorious. At this time, I am afraid it is inappropriate to discuss a meritorious man with rebellion, right?"

In order to show one's greatness, in order to show oneself is more suitable to rule the country. The return of 100,000 people is such a happy event. Naturally, I had to find someone from the Chai family to come and see.

It's just that since the Chai family abdicated, they have never spoken in the court. What's going on today? Why did he help the Zhao family's courtiers speak?

But he was right. Sending an envoy to the country is a meritorious service. And everything he did was even more meritorious. If you are guilty of this, who will dare to return to the country in the future.

Seeing that all the courtiers nodded one after another, Zhao Xuan immediately asked, "Lord Chai." Do you dare to pack tickets for Ning Caichen?"

What does he mean? Do you know that Ning Caichen is our man? Give up? No, he is needed now. "Back to Your Majesty and the Crown Prince, in fact, it is easy to prove his loyalty. ”

"Oh, King Chai said quickly. Zhao Ji knew that he didn't like Ning Caichen, especially before, in the depths of his heart, but he also had a feeling that he couldn't explain it and couldn't explain it. With Ning Caichen. It is not a reward, and it is not a punishment.

King Chai said: "Back to Your Majesty, as long as you have an army with Lord Ning, let him prove his military talent, won't it be clear at a glance?"

yes, I don't trust them. If Ning Caichen's military talent can be proven, it means that in Liao, it is really Ning Caichen who won, and it is not a conspiracy, and everything will be solved.

Zhao Ji raised his eyebrows, and a smile rose to his eyebrows. Everyone knows that he is tempted.

Zhao Xuan was in a hurry, naturally he would not let Ning Caichen wish, he just wanted to speak out against it. King Chai spoke again.

"Lady Tong is in a dilemma right now, right?"

He didn't say it loud. But just enough for the courtiers to hear.

Tong Guan has been on the expedition for ten days, and he has been embarrassed for ten days. On one side is the Song River in Shandong, and on the other side is Fangla in the south.

Which side is important?

Either side matters.

The south is taxed, and Shandong is national defense.

As soon as Chai Wang reminded, the military department immediately heard about the incident. "Your Majesty, Master Tong has written many times to ask questions. Whether it's south and then north, or north and then south. ”

Tong Guan can't fight even though he can't fight. But he also knew that it would be a big sin for any team to hit the heavens.

Originally, he should have meant to destroy Fang La first, and then deal with Song Jiang. After all, the war is about logistics, Shandong is gone, and logistics is still there. If the south is gone, money and food will inevitably be tight.

But it doesn't work regardless of Shandong, because this Song Jiang has a criminal record and has made trouble in Bianjing.

The rest seems to be a division of troops.

But Tong Guan is not sure. In his opinion, it is difficult to defeat either side without dividing the troops, let alone dividing the troops.

Therefore, the army commanded by Tong Guan has been walking for ten days, and he has not left Henan so far.

Tong Guan wanted to push the responsibility to the Ministry of War, and the letter was a reminder from the left and the right. But the military department is not a fool, and it has not accepted his tricks so far.

Of course, the burnt is for sure.

Some people say, "Doesn't Bianjing have an army of one million?" Why don't you send it?

The Noh faction has been sent a long time ago. Others don't know, don't they know yet?

Those who have empty quotas will go to the homes of the great officials to work as housekeepers. There are no literal numbers for a long time.

Even if there were, they didn't dare to send it. I haven't fought for more than 100 years, and I'm no longer a soldier.

This is what the gate said.

There were two rebellions, but Tong Guan has not left Henan so far.

The Ministry of War deliberately asked him to recover the south first, after all, the war is about logistics. Shandong lost, at most under the influence of national defense. If the south loses it, money and food will be tight.

But Tong Guan's letter is also true. This Shandong Song Jiang has a criminal record, he has made a big fuss in Bianjing, what if he directly attacks the Beijing Division? Is this responsible for the military department?

I don't have the ability to do this, so I look for someone who has the ability to do it.

This is looking for someone, the Great Song Dynasty is naturally looking for Jiangmen, but Jiangmen is not a fool. What is the situation of the forbidden army, don't they know?

Not to mention, this Great Song Dynasty, which emphasizes literature over martial arts, is as generous to the literati as it is to the martial artists. If you win, the emperor will guard against you, afraid that you will rebel; if you are defeated, it is better, raid your home, let you go down, even if you rebel, you will not have that strength.

There are not a few generals who have been defeated in battle.

In the era of the Yang family generals, there was such a romance, and the emperor took the minister to personally ask the Yang family to take command and send troops. Although this is a romance, it is also a fact.

This won the battle and defeated the heavy punishment. Why do you still have to be in command and go out on the expedition? If you don't fight, you will still be a general. It is a meritorious achievement of the founding of the country. Why take this risk.

What's more, he is still a young master soldier like the commander of the forbidden army. Tong Guan, who can't fight, doesn't take them with them, and they are not even as good as a eunuch.

Newcomers, civilian officials, and commanders are not subject to suspicion.

What's more important is that on this "new", the newcomers don't know how bad the forbidden army is. I can't say that I can't give him a forbidden army. He will also be happy and think that he is valued.

As soon as this side played, Zhao Ji was approved. One east and one south, two rebellions, Zhao Ji naturally wanted to put down the rebellion immediately.

The military department immediately complied with the order. I also don't want to see the prince's cold face. ...,

It's not that there really can't be anyone to lead the army. How could they offend the prince? The whole country is yours, but you can't get along with a courtier, and you really don't have the grace of a gentleman.

The prince and the people: "This Ning Caichen can really use the forbidden army?" After the court, the prince and the people deliberately said strange things in the military department.

"It's always true that Lord Ning led 100,000 people to return to China thousands of miles. No matter how useless the forbidden army is, it is stronger than the common people, right? Or do you want to lead the army yourself?"

Where did he have the ability to lead the army, so he naturally left with a disgraced face.

I saw a single chapter of the prince who walked away. The soldier was a little worried: "My lord, after all, he is the prince's man, I'm afraid this is ......"

"I don't care about that much. It's all burning eyebrows. Immediately dispatch the order and let the army go with the messenger. ”

"My lord, which one will Lord Ning fight?"

"Which one else. Isn't he close to Shandong? Naturally, he is fighting Song Jiang. ”

"Yes, sir. "I don't mention it here.

The prince reported his defeat to the prince. Zhao Xuan: "It's really useless, I can't do anything at all." ”

"Yes. The prince lowered his head and didn't dare to come out.

At this time, the monks of Daxiangguo Temple rushed over. "Your Highness, didn't you stop it?" The eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and they often go back and forth between the Great Xiangguo Temple and the Prince's Mansion to deliver news.

"How does Master know?"

The pilgrimage meeting has just ended. Even a single chapter and he is also the front and back feet.,How does this Daxiangguo Temple know.。

The little monk Shi Li said: "The little monk listened to the ancestor and said that the Wenqu star and the general star reflect each other, and the main literati lead the army, so the little monk is sent." ”

The crown prince Zhao Xuan immediately sent someone to inquire.

"Your Highness, the military department has already sent troops. ”

The crown prince Zhao Xuan looked angry: "The hateful military department." So not to save face with this prince. ”

The little monk said: "Prince, the ancestor said that heaven and earth are changing. Lord, I Buddhism, rejoice. This Ning Caichen ......"

Zhao Xuan: "Master rest assured. Hmph! Just because you send troops doesn't mean you can't move. ”

The little monk didn't make a sound, just whispered the Buddha's name.

For Ning Caichen, Daxiangguo Temple also has no accurate faith. With the death of that Arhat, they no longer had the courage to turn against Ning Caichen. But not turning the other cheek doesn't mean they don't do anything. This kind of work that pulls back the legs still has to be done.

It's just that it's not for the prince, nor for personal resentment, but because Ning Caichen can't see through it.

Buddhism acts with a thousand considerations.

A trip to the west showed their prudence.

Although Lao Tzu promised them. But they haven't forgotten that from the heavenly court to the immortals, from the Jialan escort to the human world, every step and every thing, they have arranged. And all the monsters that don't listen to the call will be killed.

This time, they were also clearing the field. The Taoist priest was cleared, and Ning Caichen didn't run.

Because Ning Caichen was too unexpected. Ning Caichen sent an envoy, they knew. But what Ning Caichen did in Liao was beyond their expectations.

Does Ning Caichen still have the talent of a general? Why can't we calculate? Why is this heavenly machine becoming more and more chaotic? Why has the catastrophe in the world become what it is now? Why is it different from what the Buddha said?

It's him, it's Ning Caichen. As long as there is him, this thing is unpredictable. Clear his appearance, must clear his appearance.

In such an environment, Ning Caichen ushered in his first messenger, Kong Liang.

Kong Liang, the earth mad star is the only Martian Kong Liang. Kong Liang is Kong Ming's younger brother and Song Jiang's apprentice.

"My lord, I have been instructed by my brother to inform you that my brother has revolted. ”

rebelled, Song Jiang really rebelled. "Where is Song Jiang now?"

Ning Caichen directly called Song Jiang's name, and Kong Liang was a little displeased. However, thinking of Ning Caichen's power in Liangshan, he replied: "After the master rebelled, he led his troops to attack Jingxi, Hebei and other prefectures and counties, and Song Huizong ordered Zeng Xiaoyun, the governor of Shezhou, to lead an army to ask for it. Master avoided his front, led the people from Qingzhou to Yizhou, rampant Heshuo, Jingdong, tens of thousands of official troops, no one dared to resist, turned to fight between Qingzhou, Qi (now Jinan, Shandong Province) to Puzhou (now Juanchengbei, Shandong Province), captured more than ten counties, punished corrupt officials, killed the rich and helped the poor, and the momentum was growing day by day......"...,

Kong Liang gushed endlessly, but he firmly remembered the words of the military advisor Wu in his mind. "Brother Song Jiang couldn't use all the supplies in Liangshan, so he had to switch to war. After the uprising, I also knew that the real people who dared to fight were still in the hands of the master of Erzhai, which was my mistake. This time, you go, not only to clear up his misunderstanding of Brother Song Jiang, but also to gain his support for your master. ”

Wu Yong felt very exhausted when he said this.

It was okay at first, but with the expansion of the territory, Song Jiang intentionally or unintentionally showed the spirit of a king, but he did not mention Ning Caichen at all, which angered Zhu Gui and them, and even brought people back to Liangshan directly.

Do you think that Song Jiang doesn't want to fight Zeng Xiaoyun? Now there are many people under Song Jiang, but the really well-trained ones are still the original Liangshan people. Zhu Gui and the others took the people away, relying on his newly recruited homeless people, bandits, and regular troops to fight? Song Jiang tried, but it didn't work.

Do you think Song Jiang has the natural danger of Liangshanbo, and he doesn't want to keep it? It's that he can't keep it.

The elite on land, if Song Jiang can still control more than thirty percent, he can't control one of the elites on the water.

Without his own people, Song Jiang was afraid that people would take him directly and hand him over to Song Jun.

Rampant Qi Wei. It sounds good, but who knows the helplessness behind this.

However, this is also Song Jiang getting carried away, thinking that if he builds the walled city, his prestige will go up, and no one will think about Ning Caichen anymore. Even if there is, there won't be so many, but who knows......

Then. "Your Excellency, the envoys of the court have arrived. ”
