Chapter 206: The old minister seconded the proposal
When the matter of screening the cavalry army in Jiangling Mansion was in full swing, Lin'an, which was more than a thousand miles away, and the great court meeting at the end of the month also kicked off.
From Jiangling to Lin'an, it is nearly 1,700 miles away.
Wang Jian led a hundred cavalry and escorted more than 300 prisoners of the Jin army.
Fearing that something might happen along the way, each captive was given two meals a day, only a bowl of porridge and a cooking cake.
Wang Jian and the others rode horses, and the captives could only walk on their feet, maintaining a speed of more than 100 miles every day.
In fact, Wang Jian was a little overcautious, this is just a group of Jin cavalry who have been defeated in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is their only luxury to survive.
After walking for seven days, Wang Jian calculated the time, and if he continued like this, he would have to walk for at least ten days to reach Lin'an.
Wang Jian asked the adjutant general to escort the prisoners slowly, while he took five cavalrymen and fast horses to report the victory to Lin'an.
Therefore, in a hurry, before the great court meeting at the end of the first month, Wang Jian and his entourage arrived outside Lin'an City.
In fact, I arrived in the middle of the night, so I first went to the camp of the "Dunwu Army" in the south of the city to rest, eat and drink briefly, and also took the time to sleep.
When the sky was bright, Wang Jian got up again, took five cavalrymen, deliberately did not change his clothes and armor, and galloped towards the Lin'an City Gate "in the dust".
"Good news, good news-Gangneung victory-"
There was still some distance from the city gate, so Wang Jian ordered five cavalrymen to shout the sound of victory.
Early in the morning, no matter how far the sound was heard, it also alarmed the soldiers defending the city.
It's just that they're a little overwhelmed and never seem to have dealt with anything like this.
is still a veteran who has been in the army for many years, and hurriedly reminded everyone.
"Quick, let the debut, they want to go to the Golden Palace to report the victory."
The soldiers defending the city hurriedly asked the few people who had entered and left the city to wait on the side first, and cleared the area inside and outside the city gate.
Wang Jian and the others arrived soon, and when they passed through the city gate, they deliberately stopped.
So that the Lin'an army and people could know that Guo Mo and Guo Dutong, the "Dunwu Army", defeated the cavalry of the Jin Army outside Jiangling City and beheaded more than 2,000 people. Gangneung's victoryβ"
"Gangneung Victoryβ"
"Gangneung Victoryβ"
In the Song Dynasty, although the ruling class of scholars and doctors had always groveled to the Jin State in order to seek peace.
However, the common people have always been full of the idea of "hatred of Jin", and when they heard that it was a great victory for the Jin army, they were naturally excited.
The court meeting of the "Daqing Palace" has already begun.
In the first month, there is nothing major.
Located in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no need to deal with the winter cold, nor the flood season, although the military of the Southern Song Dynasty is weak, the economy is extremely developed, God appreciates food all the time, and there is no need to worry about hunger.
Cheng Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, made a class performance.
"Qiyu official's house, there is an envoy from the Jin State who has visited, and said that the Jinguo Dengzhou garrison, there are 5,000 cavalry in the training period, and they have strayed into the Lianghu area, and it has been more than a month."
The "Loyal Shun Army" was all under Meng Zongzheng, and the Shuai Army blocked their way back, so the Jin State came to ask the official family to give the "Loyal Shun Army" a will, ordering it to let the Jin Army return north. β
"Oh, and what's going on? How come I don't know? How did Cheng Qing deal with it? β
The official sat on the dragon chair and pretended to be surprised.
"The old minister told the other party that the imperial court had not received the news, so he told the official family and sent someone to verify."
Cheng Jue is flat and stable.
"What does Shi Xiang think?"
The official family did not judge, and turned his head to ask Shi Miyuan, who was standing at the head of the civil officials.
"Qiqi official, there are also rumors about this matter, since the envoy of the Jin State is visiting, it seems that there is indeed such a matter, it is better not to hurt the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
"The old minister doesn't dare to agree with what Shi Xiang said!"
The official family has not replied, and Cheng Jue has come out again.
In today's court, there are not many ministers who dare to fight with Shi Miyuan in court, but it doesn't mean that there are none, and Cheng Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is definitely one of them.
"Cheng Qing has no remarks, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
The official family seemed to be more interested in Cheng Jue's opinion, but he didn't take Shi Miyuan's words, which made him slightly surprised.
"Qi Qi official, the old minister is not in the Privy Council or the Imperial City Division, so he can't receive news from the military in various places."
Just listening to what the envoys of the Jin State said, the old minister thought that it must be the Jin army that deliberately provoked and went deep into the Lianghu region to cause trouble, and the "loyal army" Meng Dutong would have this behavior. Before receiving a detailed military report, the old minister suggested that it be ignored. β
"Haha, Cheng Qing's words for the country. In fact, the military report had already arrived, and the 5,000 cavalry of the Jin Army was ravaging Lianghu, and the troops stationed in various places were already trying to block it. β
"Then Jin Guo is maliciously provoking the dispute between the two countries, and my Great Song Dynasty will never agree to such an unreasonable request of Jin Guo!"
After Lao Cheng Jue finished speaking, he actually put the national letter of Jin Guo in his hand on the ground in the hall, and even stepped on it twice.
"Haha, you old Cheng Jue, you are old, and you still have such a big temper."
The official scolded with a smile, but he smiled, without the slightest hint of blame.
Those imperial historians who wanted to impeach Cheng Jue for "losing his honor in front of the king" saw that the official family looked like a "dragon face and great joy", holding a wat board, and they didn't know whether they should go out of work to impeach.
"Jiangling victory, beheading the Jin army of 2,000 levels-"
"Jiangling victory, beheading the Jin army of 2,000 levels-"
Wang Jian and his entourage of six entered Lin'an from the south gate, shouting all the way about the great victory.
Gradually, people with good deeds shouted together, and everyone gathered outside the palace.
At the main gate of Li, the soldiers guarding the city saw that more and more people were gathering, and hurriedly closed the palace gate.
They had never seen such a scene before, and hurriedly sent someone to the "Daqing Palace" to deliver a letter.
However, the sound of everyone shouting for victory was first transmitted to the "Daqing Palace".
"Boss, go see what's going on outside?"
The civil and military forces in the main hall heard the shouts outside, and everyone stopped talking about the envoys of the Jin Kingdom.
The old eunuch didn't have much time to go out, so he turned back to the "Daqing Palace" again, and his face was full of joy.
"Qi Qi Guan's family, Jiangling won a great victory, and beheaded the Jin army of 2,000 levels. The one who reported the victory was Wang Jian of the "Dunwu Army", who was waiting outside the main gate of Li. β
The old eunuch's words made the entire "Daqing Palace" suddenly silent, and after an instant, all kinds of admiration, questioning, and reprimands broke out.
"Let Wang Jian come to the main hallβ"
The official family endured the excitement in his heart, Xiao Qi had been gone for so long, and finally waited for the exact news, this kid can really toss.
"The last general" Dunwu Army "Wang Jian, see the official family! β
Wang Jian went up to the Golden Palace, because he had a stomach, so he performed a military salute.
"General Wang, can you have the details of the military report, submit it."
Wang Jian untied the large package on his back, took out a report from it, and handed it to the old eunuch.
The official family was on the dragon chair and unfolded the recital.
The report was very long, and the officials watched it unhurriedly, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were a little anxious, but no one dared to urge them.
"Good, good. Haha, General Wang, I've already read the report, you can tell me about the specific battle situation. β
In fact, Wang Jian did not personally experience the battle outside Jiangling City, and when he was ordered to return to Lin'an to report the victory, he deliberately found someone to learn the whole process in detail.
What you hear from others is often more wonderful than what you have witnessed.
"Qi Qi Guan's family, Weichen wants to impeach the "Dunwu Army" to control Guo Mo, leave his post without permission, ignore the "Dunwu Army", and run to Jiangling Mansion without permission. β
As soon as Wang Jian's words were finished, Yu Shi jumped out to impeach.
"Ahem, Zhang Qing, the report said that Guo Dutong was ordered by His Royal Highness the "King Yan", and he could not leave his post without permission. β
"He... I..."
Zhang Yushi retreated.
"The Qiqi official family, with just 800 county soldiers in Jiangling City and a few people from Guo Mo's district, can behead 2,400 Jin Army cavalry and capture more than 300? This is simply a lieu of bullying the king, and the minister wants to impeach Guo Mo for the crime of taking meritorious service! β
"Ahem, Li Qing, the newspaper said that Wang Jian had brought the left ear of two thousand gold soldiers as evidence, and Wang Jian showed the evidence to Li Qing."
"He... I..."
Wang Jian smiled, took out a big box from the package, and moved it to Yushi, surnamed Li.
"This is the left ear of the cavalry of the beheaded Jin Army, a total of two thousand and twenty-six, and I ask Lord Li to check it."
"I'll check your uncle, I'll ......"
Li Yushi saw that the box in front of him hadn't even opened it, and he felt that his eyes were densely packed with bloody ears, and he trembled with fright.
"Li Qing doesn't seem to be really interested, who wants to go over and help him check it?"
The official sat there happily, he was not worried at all that this military situation was a lie, and he still had the least trust in his son.
"Official, what else did the newspaper say?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Cheng Jue came out to divert the topic.
The official family didn't pursue those imperial histories anymore, they were all just Shi Miyuan's subordinates, a few clowns who jumped off the beam.
"Five thousand Jin cavalry invaded the two lakes, of which 2,400 attacked Gangneung City, wanting to get grain, and the Jiangling prefect fled in fear."
"Nie Qing, I remember that this person is your cousin, right? Then it's up to you to cooperate with the Criminal Department, issue an official document for sea arrest, and the whole country wants this person. failed to arrest him for a day, so Nie Qing temporarily listened to the errand in the Criminal Department. β
Nie Zishu trembled, it was over, and his desire to seek Dali Siqing could only be temporarily stranded.
"Guo Dutong applied for additional pensions for the soldiers who died in this battle to repay the meritorious soldiers, especially Song Ci, the chief secretary of Jiangling Mansion."
"This person is a literati, and when the prefect defected, he was able to turn the tide and lead his soldiers to defend the city against the enemy. When the fighter plane appeared, he personally led hundreds of soldiers to fight out of the city with a sword. β
"Shi Xiang, how should such a person be rewarded?"
The official suddenly asked Shi Miyuandao.
"This... Qi Qi official family, since this person has won the popularity of Jiangling people, at this time, it is best to be promoted to the prefect of Jiangling. β
Shi Miyuan thought for a moment and said.
The official looked at the powerful minister in front of him with some contradictions, putting aside everything else, this person is really not useless in military and political affairs.
"Xue Qing, you are in charge of the Ministry of Officials, so cooperate with the Privy Council, issue the appointment as soon as possible, and determine the hearts of the military and people in Jiangling as soon as possible."
Xue Ji came out of class and said yes.
Wang Jian was also stunned, it seemed that he didn't need to take out the "letter of recommendation" given by Dutong.
"Yue Qing, as a household servant, you will personally grasp the matter of the post-war pension. But if there is any deduction, it should be severely punished. β
I heard Guo Dutong of the "Dunwu Army" say such a sentence, "We can't let the soldiers shed blood on the battlefield and shed tears after the war." β
"The ministers obey the order, they must be determined by the military report, and the number will be distributed in place, if there is any negligence, please behead the minister!"
Yue Ke gave up his hand when he came out of class, and said with kindness.
"In addition, there are still more than 2,000 Jin cavalry troops still within the two lakes, and I don't think the people of Jin will give up."
"Yue Qing also has to hurry up to raise grain and grass and send it to Lianghu, just go directly to Guo Mo and listen to his arrangement. Isn't your son Yue Ao in the "Dunwu Army"? Let him escort him himself. β
Yue Ke knew that the official family was not worried about others, and gave his son a chance to make meritorious contributions, so he hurriedly bowed down to receive the order and thanked him.
In addition, Guo Dutong captured more than 300 Jin soldiers in this battle, and he was already on his way to Lin'an, saying that he was ordered by His Royal Highness the "King of Yan" to let these prisoners undergo "labor reform". β
"I think this means, let them act as laborers, repair roads, bridges, build canals and dig ponds for my Great Song Dynasty, I think this method is very good, what do you think?"
I'll go, your old man said it's good, what do we think?
However, there are still some old stubborns who stand up.
"Qi Qi official's family, the old minister thinks this matter is inappropriate. Thinking of my Great Song Dynasty, the state of dignified etiquette, following the way of Confucius and Mencius, these people were defeated and captured, how can we take advantage of them again, and we should educate them with the words of the saints. β
All of a sudden, above the court, several white-haired people shook their lips and quoted scriptures, and what they said was extravagant and wonderful, but everyone listened to it drowsy.
These people were there to transfer their book bags, and even Shi Miyuan and his party had to watch from the wall, as if they were watching the jokes of the officials.
"Ahem, that Wang Jian, when you came, did your Guo Dutong have anything to say about this matter?"
The official family finally seized an opportunity for everyone to pause, and hurriedly asked Wang Jian.
"Qiyu official family, my family all say that they are also under the order of the "King Yan", and when the time is right, His Royal Highness the "King Yan" will personally say it. But ......"
Wang Jian thought about it for a while, should he be good at advocating and helping the officials? In the end, he made up his mind and said.
However, the last general often heard Guo Dutong say, "When friends come, there is wine, and when jackals come, there are knives and guns"! β
"If anyone wants to propose to use the words of the saints to influence these invaders, the next time there is an invasion by foreign enemies, there is no need to send troops to resist at all, and it is good to directly let those "corrupt Confucians" preach the words of the saints. β
"Shut up! Wang Jian, above the Golden Palace, how can you trust the mouth? However, there is some truth in what your family has said, what do you think? β
The official family glanced at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, especially those old scholars, and looked at it for a long time.
"He... I..."
No one spoke, for fear of really throwing himself on the battlefield to educate those Jin soldiers.
"Haha, since all the secretaries have no opinions, let's handle it accordingly."
The official family is particularly happy, look at our family's Xiao Qi, who is thousands of miles away, and he overthrew the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
beheaded 2,000 and captured more than 300 prisoners, this is almost the annihilation of the enemy's army in the future?
The official family is still very self-aware, and he didn't let people open the box with ears.
"Qi Qi official, the minister has a book."
Cheng Jue, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing on the side, actually walked out of class again, and this old man is very positive today.
Cheng Jue is a main fighter in history, but he is also a pragmatic doer.
Committed to the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty and the strength of the people, he did not talk about war lightly when there was no strong army to support.
Today, when he encountered such an iron-blooded and wise "Dunwu Army", the blood in Lao Chengtou's body surged again.
"Cheng Qing, what's the matter?"
The official family is happy.
"Officials, everyone has been rewarded for their meritorious deeds, but why is there no one who has the greatest achievements in this battle?"
When everyone heard it, they understood, this was for Guo Mo's credit.
The official family was also stunned when he heard this, and browsed the newspaper again, but he really didn't find a word of praise for Guo Mo.
When Shi Miyuan heard this, he hurriedly handed a color to Xue Ji next to him, asking him to seize the opportunity and make the first move, he was already a little passive today.
"The official family, the minister also has a book."
"Oh, Xue Qing? What's the matter with you? β
The official family was a little displeased, he thought that Xue Ji saw that Cheng Jue was going to ask Guo Mo for credit, so he deliberately jumped out to obstruct it.
According to General Wang, the person who made the greatest contribution to this battle should be the "Dunwu Army" to control Guo Mo, and the ministers asked the officials to reward Guo Dutong. β
"Oh-"
The official family looked at Xue Ji with interest, interesting.
"Xue Qing has been in the Ministry for a long time, I don't know what kind of reward to give, can he be worthy of Guo Mo's exploits this time?"
"This ......"
Xue Ji didn't expect that the official family threw this question to himself again.
Although he was responsible for the assessment and promotion of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, Guo Mo was in the military system in the end, and the assessment of military merits belonged to the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.
Seeing that the officials were staring at him, Xue Ji had no choice but to talk about the matter.
"Qi Qi official, in the opinion of the old minister, the reward for Guo Dutong must include at least three aspects."
"First, Guo Dutong was Dunwulang before, and with this military merit, he was beheaded by two thousand ranks, and he could be promoted to at least three or five levels."
"Second, listening to what General Wang Jian said, Guo Dutong only brought 50 "Dunwu Army" soldiers this time, and the "Dunwu Army" is still in training, and a few elites can achieve this feat. β
In this regard, the scale of the "Dunwu Army" can be expanded, and it is better to set the number of 20,000 according to the usual practice. β
"Third, there are still more than 2,000 Jin cavalry, stranded in the two lakes, and the Jin army at the border will definitely make another move. The minister suggested that Guo Dutong should temporarily lead the military of the two lakes and have the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot. β
Xue Ji's words immediately attracted the attention of all the elders, and even Shi Miyuan didn't expect Xue Ji to say so outrageous.
"This ......"
This time it was the official's turn to speak.
This old Xue Ji, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?
If it weren't for the official family's complete knowledge of Guo Mo, he would have doubted, how much benefit Guo Mo had given this old guy?
In fact, when Xue Ji said this, he was just talking about cheap words.
The Lianghu region is so big, there are dozens of states, and there are no less than 100,000 troops stationed in the tun alone, will the official family rest assured that it will be handed over to a hairy boy? Are you kidding!
What's more, the garrison army in that place has an old man like Meng Zongzheng, who is loyal to the official family.
There are also cronies planted by Shi Miyuan, and there are even some local forces, which are intertwined, who can sort it out?
Not to mention that a small "Dunwu Army" is under control, even if Shi Miyuan, the Privy Council, is allowed to go, it is good to be able to really mobilize half of the military strength.
At least the more than 20,000 people of the "Loyal Shun Army" will not be able to listen to him.
"There is no problem in adding officials to Guo Mo, and even expanding the quota of the "Dunwu Army". However, what Xue Qing said, let Guo Mo control the military of the two lakes, I don't know what Zhao Qing thinks? β
This official family has the smartest point, and if he can't figure it out himself, let others deal with it.
Whether it's Xue Ji or Zhao Rushu, it's all your Shi Miyuan's people, they can draw any conclusion, as long as it's not too outrageous, the official family is making the final decision, and the left and right are your own people's opinions.
Zhao Rushu, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, originally had nothing to do with him today.
In addition to going down, send a sea fishing official document to arrest the Jiangling prefect.
He was sure that this was not a difficult matter, and it was likely that the Jiangling prefect was hiding in Nie Zishu.
As long as Shi Xiang nods, it is not difficult to do a beautiful job by himself.
was watching the excitement from the sidelines, but I didn't expect the official family to involve themselves.
Since the last time, after drinking with Zhao Fengxue, the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, Zhao Rushu has been very low-key recently.
Even, if it wasn't for Shi Miyuan's invitation, he didn't take the initiative to come to the door.
More time, instead of staying in the criminal department, gathering people, and re-examining all the files for nearly twenty years, completely looking like a workaholic.
No one knows what he's thinking, and if his actions for more than a month are taken out alone, then he is a proper cadre of the public loyal body.
Looking at the gaze cast by the official, Zhao Rushu seemed to see something different, and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Qiqi official's family, the old minister thought that since it was Lord Xue's proposal, it was thought out after careful consideration, and the old minister couldn't see anything wrong for the time being. The old minister seconded the proposal! β
When Zhao Rushu said this, it seemed that it was all expected by the official family, and he smiled without a trace, but immediately pretended to be worried.
Xue Ji's eyes widened and he looked at Zhao Rushu incredulously.
Can't you see that the old man is just talking casually?
Don't you give your own opinion?
Haven't you always been unconvinced by me, and you want to compete for the position of "first strategist" in front of Shi Xiang?
"Cheng Qing, let Guo Mo control the military of the two lakes, since Xue Qing and Zhao Qing have repeatedly recommended it, what do you think?"
I go, who "strongly recommended"? Still "repeatedly"?
Xue Ji and Zhao Rushu are not decided.
Cheng Jue also seemed to sense that there was something wrong with this, but for a while, he couldn't understand why.
"The Qiqi official family, Lord Xue and Lord Zhao, are all far-sighted people, and they are the masters of my Great Song Dynasty, since they are strongly recommended by the two adults, it should not be wrong. The old minister seconded the proposal! β
"Hahaha, well, it's rare for the secretaries to be so united and loyal to the country! Shi Xiang, what do you mean? β
"This..."
Shi Miyuan felt a burst of heart inexplicably, but he didn't know what was wrong.
"The old minister seconded the proposal!"
"Hahaha, okay."
The "Dunwu Army" was all under the command of Guo Mo as a "martial arts lang", and the "Dunwu Army" was expanded to 20,000 troops, and they were trained in the south of the city, and the qualified sergeants who passed the training were sent to the Lianghu battlefield at any time. β
Guo Mo temporarily added the title of "Squire of the Military Department" to control the military of the two lakes, and had the right to be arbitrary and secretive, and he could cut it first and then play. β
"Zhao Qing, as the ambassador of the labor army of the imperial court, you can take a trip in person, and take a good look at what the front line is like. After a while, you will go to the "Funing Palace" to see me. Retreatβ"
After the official finished speaking, he didn't give everyone time to react, and left the "Daqing Palace".
"Lao Jun? Why me? β
Zhao Rushu's heart was not calm.
