Chapter Twenty-Six: The Early Dynasty (II)
Zhao Ding's words caused many people to frown, no one would like an army like the rebel army. Poor military discipline, disobedience to discipline, and often have various conflicts with other armies. Not only the peace faction, but even Han Shizhong had a headache for the rebel army.
Although Han Shizhong once wanted to organize the rebel armies in various places into regular armies, he finally gave up. One is that it involves military power, which offends the emperor's rebellion, and the other is because of the attitude of the imperial court, because even if the rebel army is organized into a regular army, it will eventually be bullied.
Liu Chan asked, "I don't know if you Aiqing have any suggestions?" β
The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were silent, but Qin Hui, who had always been opposed to the rebel army, was frowning and thinking about other things at this time, and he couldn't care about the disputes in the court at all. Qin Hui is working hard to change his political opinions, there is no way that the emperor's attitude has changed, you don't change, then you won't be kicked out of the court, who will be kicked out of the court.
Qin Hui is tired, when Zhao Gougang succeeded to the throne, it was the main battle, and after a few years of succession, it became the main battle, and now it has become the main battle. With such a firm position, everyone will feel tired. However, what Qin Hui didn't expect was that his current tiredness was only temporary, and he would always be tired in the future. As for why, let's move on.
Zhao Ding understood even more that Liu Chan also hated the rebel army very much, because he could see one or two things from the emperor's previous attitude. However, Yue Fei's compromises also wrote that the rebel army played a huge role in the Northern Expedition, and it was impossible to ignore it, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty, the turmoil in the north, the Jin people oppressed the people, so that the people were not able to make a living, and the people everywhere were forced to make a living, so they would revolt and rebel one after another. Why don't your majesty give the rebels more rewards, and then give them land, so that they can go home and farm. β
Hearing Zhao Ding's words, Liu Chan laughed a little shamefully at this, this is the minister who has lived in Kyoto for a long time and does not know the border people, and the complete scholar's opinion. Just like Liangzhou in the Han Dynasty, those people are used to fighting and plundering, how can they farm well. It's not fast to rob it, and it's not to rob your own people, if you dare to take care of me, I'll blow you up. This is also why the Han Dynasty never punished the Han people in Liangzhou for robbing the Qiang people.
Speaking of which, Liu Chan's thoughts coincided with the views of Hu Kang, the leader of the rebel army. I've been robbing for more than ten years, and now if you let me go farming, I will! Besides, you can guarantee that the country won't hit here! What's more, I didn't rob the Song people, why do you care about me.
Liu Chan's eyes narrowed slightly, at first he thought that he should be able to completely hand over the power of the court to Zhao Ding, although it was not pleasing to the eye, but the general direction was similar to himself. Moreover, he is also very faithful and makes an upright minister. Now it seems that Zhao Ding can barely handle internal affairs, and if he dares to hand over major military affairs to him, it will really be over. If you don't understand the livelihood of the people on the border and only take it for granted, the country is in danger.
Even if Zhao Ding clearly supports the Northern Expedition, your attitude does not mean that you are capable!
Liu Chanchou, why is there no courtier like Xiang's father who understands both internal affairs and military affairs, and is loyal to himself. Liu Chan is so helpless, it is good to separate civil and military, and it is not bad for civilian officials to suppress military attachΓ©s, but it is troublesome if no civilian official can understand major events in the army.
Zhao Ding saw that Liu Chan looked dissatisfied, and thought that what he said about the rebel army was not in line with his wishes. Although he still wanted to say something, after all, the Song army's offensive was very fierce at the moment, and there was no need for the rebel army to do anything, so he immediately retreated and didn't say anything.
When Liu Chan saw Zhao Ding's look, he sneered even more in his heart, and he had a headache even more, could no one understand the impact of the rebel army on the current general trend of the world. With this army making trouble in the rear of the Jin State, the trouble caused to the Jin State is not the slightest bit.
Liu Chan glanced at the court, only to see that no one spoke. The peace faction wanted to say something, but it was clear what the situation was by looking at Liu Chan's attitude and Zhao Ding's retreat. So no one wanted to talk, just lie down.
The main fighting forces of the peace faction are Qin Hui Wang Lun and Sun Jin, generally speaking, it is Qin Hui who gives a meaning first, Wang Lun plays, Sun Jin assists, and other ministers respond. Now Qin Hui doesn't speak, and he doesn't know what the problem is, so the peace forces can only look at the atmosphere in the court first.
And Qin Hui had already changed most of his opinions, and quietly glanced at Liu Chan's expression, and after a little thought, he understood what Liu Chan meant. I thought to myself: Your Majesty will actually look at the rebel army differently, what kind of stimulation is this, it seems that it is not to disband the rebel army, but to reuse it. So Qin Hui came out and said, "Your Majesty, the rebel army must not be disbanded. The minister implored His Majesty to organize the rebel army into an independent Song army and assist Yue Fei and other generals in the Northern Expedition. β
Han Shizhong next to him was also very dissatisfied with Zhao Ding's disposition, in his opinion, Yue Fei was able to recover Luoyang, Shunchang, and the rebel army must have played a great role, once they were disbanded with only some rewards, I am afraid that the rebel armies everywhere would be a little chilly. But he also knew that it might be the best arrangement. After all, it was only a rebel army, and the issue of military discipline had always been a concern for the upper echelons of the Song Dynasty.
At this time, when he saw Qin Hui coming out of the ranks, he was even more dissatisfied in his heart, after all, the rebel army belonged to the Song Dynasty, why didn't any minister care, you must know that part of his eight-character army was also transformed from the rebel army. He wanted to stand up and oppose after Qin Hui, but what did he hear? Becoming an independent army?
The peace faction was even more like five thunderbolts, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time. What should I do if the head of the Lord and the faction has rebelled, wait online, I'm in a hurry.
Liu Chan was a little satisfied, and his expression eased a lot. Seeing this, Qin Hui also relaxed a lot, and intuitively felt that he had made the right bet. I only heard Liu Chan say: "Aiqing, what does this mean?" Why don't you elaborate? β
Hearing the word Aiqing, Zhao Ding's eyes suddenly widened. Qin Hui, a treacherous villain, can only flatter, and the villain who can't do anything actually gets a sentence of love. There's no problem with what you say, why don't you call yourself Aiqing.
If it was Zhao Gou in the past, Zhao Ding's suggestion was indeed very popular, but unfortunately the current emperor is Liu Chan. Even if Liu Chan supports the Northern Expedition now, Zhao Ding still treats Liu Chan according to the attitude towards Zhao Gou. This is different from Qin Hui, Qin Hui is a famous traitor in history, when he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately gave up his original ideas and stood with the emperor, so he could meet Liu Chan's wishes.
To put it simply, Qin Hui is more able to figure out the emperor's heart.
"Your Majesty, although the rebel army is not the regular army of our dynasty, it was established after all because of my Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, according to the ministers, the uprising of the rebel army in the north caused turmoil in the rear of the Jin State. The Jin people had to disperse their forces to deal with them, so that our army could recover Shunchang and other places in one fell swoop. It can be seen from this that the rebel army is of great benefit to our Song Dynasty. If they were to dissolve with only a few rewards, I am afraid that they would be dissatisfied. In this case, it is better to let them form an independent army, specifically to undermine the stability of the rear of the Jin State, and provide convenience for our front-line army. β
In short, it is to let the rebel army go to the rear of the Jin State to make trouble. Anyway, they are very experienced in hiding in Tibet, so they don't have to worry about their safety.
Qin Hui's thoughts coincided with Liu Chan, and he was immediately more satisfied: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, after all, they are all the people of my Song Dynasty, and they can't be treated badly." But I don't know what about the grain and grass? Can you afford to supply this army? β
"Now that the development of the south does not need too much grain and grass for the time being, I have more than enough grain and grass reserves to supply the rebel army."
"Good!" Liu Chan was even more satisfied, and then said: "The development of the south must be carried out in an orderly manner, and as for the grain and grass of the rebel army, it will be up to you Aiqing." β
Seeing this, Han Shizhong hurriedly wanted to persuade Qin Hui to be in charge of the grain and grass of the rebel army, that is really a big joke, I am afraid that I can only barely keep the rebel army from starving, once the war starts, the grain and grass will become a big problem.
At this time, Han Shizhong didn't know that Liu Chan warned Qin Hui about the grain and grass, but he was very clear about the delay in Qin Hui's transfer of grain and grass for the Northern Expedition.
But before he could speak, Liu Chan immediately said: "The rebel army can plunder all the materials in the rear of the Jin Kingdom except for the common people, and I can guarantee here, as long as it is not the people of my Song Dynasty, I will not be held accountable." β
Han Shizhong was much relieved when he heard this, the rebel army did not rely on the relief of the imperial court in the first place. With the supply of grain and grass, they can also plunder the supplies, so the rebel army does not have to worry about the grain and grass.
"If you plunder so will, I'm afraid the rebels will become a little uncontrollable because of this?" Zhao Ding said that he was very dissatisfied with Qin Hui's suggestion. However, since Zhao Gou came to power, there have been several defeats. If the rebels become uncontrollable again, the trouble will be even greater!
Liu Chan felt that what Zhao Ding said also made some sense, Dong Zhuo was not also a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty at that time, but when he entered Luoyang, he became a traitor that everyone in the world crusaded against.
Liu Chan slowly swept past the courtiers and thought slightly: "Qin Xiang, if you are asked to lead this army, what do you think?" β
Qin Hui was very frightened, he didn't know what he had done wrong. He is a civilian official, how can he lead troops to fight. He didn't want to be a bad guy. His ideal is to become the left minister, and at that time, under one person, above ten thousand, no army will have to obey his command, why bother to lose big because of a small one.
Qin Hui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not good at leading the army, let alone the army of the Northern Expedition. I beg your Majesty to think twice. This is said with deep affection, Qin Hui almost cried, he led his troops to fight, that is not looking for death. Your Majesty, what do you think, spare your ministers? For the first time, Qin Hui was worried about his talent for figuring out his intentions, is this right?
Liu Chan smiled in his heart, he was very satisfied with Qin Hui. For some things, even if his thoughts have not been expressed, Qin Hui can put them forward according to his own heart.
