"Qingtang Victory!"

When Fan Zheng and the three of them heard this, their blood immediately boiled!

For a long time, the Great Song Dynasty has been defeated repeatedly in foreign wars, not to mention the successive defeats to the Western Xia of the Liao State, and even the surrounding small countries want to step on the foot of the Great Song Dynasty, and Qingtang is the biggest white-eyed wolf.

Now the Great Song Dynasty not only occupied Qingtang City, but also wiped out the Qingtang army, and the Great Song Dynasty finally destroyed a country and revitalized the national prestige.

"Great Song is mighty!"

In Kaifeng City, everyone cheered.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, they have been on the defensive, and since the Great Song Dynasty dominated the world, Qingtang has been the first country to be destroyed, how can it not let the people of Kaifeng raise their eyebrows.

"Chongpu has cracked the gas plague!"

Fan Zheng and Su Dun glanced at each other and understood.

Sure enough, when Fan Zheng returned to the court, a more detailed military report came over.

"Qi Qi Guan's family, Ali Gu deliberately lured the Song army to the hinterland of Tibet, in a vain attempt to use the air plague to drag down the Song army! General Chongpu will plan and finally lure Ali Gu to a decisive battle! ”

"The officers and men of our army took Rhodiola rosea, and they took turns to adapt to the epidemic in the highlands many times, and took advantage of their unpreparedness to defeat the Qingtang coalition army in the first battle, and the entire Ali bone army was wiped out, and our army captured countless cattle and sheep."

……………………

In the vertical arch hall, Zeng Bu reported excitedly.

Although there are few words in the military newspaper, everyone knows how much preparation the Great Song Dynasty has made for this battle.

"Good!"

Zhao Xu took the case, and his heart was full of pride.

What the previous emperors failed to do, it was finally completed in his hands.

Once the Great Song Dynasty occupies Qingtang, it will get an excellent horse breeding land, and with the evil recipe of artificial breeding by the doctor, it is enough to make the Great Song Dynasty no longer lack horses.

More importantly, defeating Qingtang is the first step of Fan Zhengda's roundabout strategy, with Qingtang as a base, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty has become more and more active.

The next step can be to directly threaten the Hexi Corridor, so that the long and narrow territory of Western Xia will be under the attack of the Song army, and it will definitely take care of one and lose the other.

"Congratulations to the official family, from now on, the offensive and defensive trends of the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia will be different." Zhang Dian said excitedly that the fact that the Great Song Dynasty was able to achieve such a record was naturally the result of the strategy of changing the law and opening up the border, which greatly increased the discourse power of the New Party.

All of a sudden, the New Party raised its eyebrows.

The old party couldn't help frowning, and although it was a good thing that the Great Song Dynasty won a great victory, wouldn't that prove that the conservative policy that the old party had been pursuing was wrong.

At that moment, Lu Dafang signaled slightly, only to see Yushi Yang Wei stubbornly played: "The Qiqi officials, ministers and others impeached Chong Pu and Yao Xiong for slaughtering the city for no reason, and the various departments in Qingtang were violently expropriated, and the people in Qingtang were constantly resentful. ”

As soon as Yang Wei said this, he was suddenly quiet.

You must know that Chong Pu and Yao Xiong have just destroyed Qingtang, and the good news has just come, and there is a twist and turn in the impeachment of the two in the DPRK.

As soon as Yang Wei's performance came out, even the New Party, which had taken the Qingtang victory as its own, fell silent.

Fan Zheng frowned, and stepped forward to defend the two: "The Western Expedition army killed the soldiers defending the city, but for the stability of the rear, as for the impeachment of the generals against the Qingtang departments, it is that the army goes deep into Qingtang, and the logistics supply is difficult to supply. ”

Lu Dafang refuted: "Fan Taicheng is too biased towards the second general, the Western Expedition army has already broken through the city at that time, and those soldiers defending the city have laid down their arms to resist, it has been ominous to kill prisoners since ancient times, and my Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and this move has made my Great Song Dynasty humiliated." ”

"Yes, for the Qingtang ministries, it should be appeased, how to make the generals return to their hearts, and the Qingtang ministries will rebel in the future."

At present, the old party officials have also come forward to ask for a strict investigation of the matter, and even many new party officials have joined in.

"Heavy on literature and light on martial arts!"

When Fan Zheng saw this scene, he was suddenly shocked.

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty are all human spirits, and how can they not understand that Chong Pu's decision at that time was correct, and now all they do is to suppress the generals, which is a tradition that has always been the Great Song Dynasty.

Su Song came forward and reconciled: "Qi Qi official, the army of the Western Expedition has just achieved a great victory, if you suppress the heroes at this moment, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers, and General Chong Pu's move is also excusable, please think twice." ”

Zhao Xu borrowed the slope to get off the donkey and said: "What Su Xianggong said is very true, and this matter will be discussed in the future." ”

Although Zhao Xu put this matter aside for the time being, it will be discussed later, which shows that the mind of guarding against military generals has been deeply engraved in the bones of the royal family.

Fan Zheng frowned when he saw this, he didn't expect the court to be so wary of the generals, and now he had just laid down a small Qingtang, and he had already begun to suppress the generals.

If it is the implementation of the Great Roundabout Strategy in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will also destroy the Western Xia, destroy the Liao State, and the imminent rise of the Jin State, and fight against the Mongols who dominate the world, the Great Song Dynasty is about to face such a powerful enemy, but it also has to guard against and suppress the generals, which can't help but make Fan Zheng a little disheartened.

After the next dynasty, Fan Zheng returned to Fan's mansion with an extremely embarrassed face.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao asked: "Now that Qingtang is victorious, everyone in Kaifeng City is celebrating, why is Xianggong worried."

"Qingtang victory?"

Fan Zheng sneered and told the court about the suppression of military generals.

Li Qingzhao frowned, and said unsurprisingly: "The court has been emphasizing literature over military force for a long time, and the prime minister can know about General Di's old affairs. ”

"Great Song Army God Di Qing!"

Fan Zheng nodded slightly, Di Qing is the god of the Great Song Dynasty, during the Renzong Dynasty, Di Qing fought in the south and the north, and made great achievements, but the stronger his merits, the more he was feared by the civil officials.

At that time, Di Qing won the hearts of the military, the more so the more he was feared by the court, as long as Di Qing's subordinates made mistakes, they would immediately be caught by civilian officials and sentenced severely, and finally Di Qing was removed from his position as a privy envoy and went out of the place, and soon after, Di Qing died of depression.

"The husband wants to keep General Chongpu and others, and he must learn a lesson, otherwise it will only cause greater suppression of civilian officials, not because the generals are guilty, but because they have the ability to rebel." Li Qingzhao proposed.

"A trumped-up crime!"

Fan Zheng said word by word.

Di Qing of the Renzong Dynasty, Chong Pu and others of the current dynasty, and what happened to Yue Fei in the future cannot be said to be exactly the same, it can be said to be completely consistent.

When Li Qingzhao heard this, his eyes lit up and said: "A trumped-up crime, in the words of the prince." ”

This trumped-up crime can be said to suppress civilian officials and military generals, and the royal government's move of emphasizing civil affairs over military force can be summed up in a word.

"My husband knows how to do it!"

Fan Zheng's heart moved, and he thought of a way to break the game.

……………………

On the second day, there were more and more twists and turns in the court about the impeachment of Chong Pu and others, and on this point, both the new party and the old party reached an agreement, and only Su Song insisted on saying a fair word for Chong Pu and others.

"We are not waiting for jealousy and jealousy, but the rewards and punishments are clear, and now I will remind those arrogant soldiers and fierce generals, so as not to cause great disasters in the future." Lu Dafang said resolutely.

Baiguan naturally understood what the catastrophe Lu Dafang was talking about! At present, the hundred officials take it for granted, and they have no psychological burden on the behavior of suppressing the generals.

This time, even Zhao Xu was inclined to civilian officials, after all, the Song Dynasty was founded for a hundred years and has always pursued the national policy of emphasizing literature over military force.

Even Su Song couldn't help but sigh, the Great Song Dynasty was like this in all dynasties, and his strength alone could not stop the general trend.

"Emphasizing literature over military force and suppressing military generals is just self-destruction of the Great Wall!"

Suddenly, a voice resounded in the court, completely shaking the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Everyone looked back and saw that it was Fan Zheng's astonishing words.

"Self-destructing the Great Wall? Fan Taicheng dared to question the founding policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the ministers impeached Fan Zheng for the crime of arrogance. Yang Wei heard Fan Zheng's voice, and immediately attacked again and again.

Emphasizing literature over military force, and suppressing military generals is a national policy formulated by the Great Song Dynasty to learn the lessons of the Tang Dynasty's feudal towns and five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

Therefore, it is the political correctness of the Great Song Dynasty to suppress the generals, and the old and new parties saw that Fan Zheng spoke out for the generals, and they jointly attacked at the moment.

They believe that the emperor is a dikes for the generals from the bottom of his heart, and perhaps Fan Zheng can lose the trust of the official family because of this.

Fan Zheng was not afraid and said: "Since ancient times, the Qin and Han dynasties have been to the Xiongnu, the Sui and Tang dynasties have been to the Turks, and the grassland tribes may be able to flourish for a while, but they will eventually be defeated by the Central Plains Dynasty, but the Great Song Dynasty has been defeated in Liaoxia repeatedly, isn't there a factor of emphasizing literature over military force?" ”

In the court, they were suddenly silent, they naturally knew that the Great Song Dynasty's armed forces were weak, and there was a great reason for emphasizing literature over military force, but emphasizing literature and light military force was the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and the second was to safeguard the interests of civilian officials, so they naturally would not admit it.

"Nonsense! Emphasizing literature over military force, strong cadres and weak branches, is a good strategy that Taizu Taizong thought of in order to solve the accumulated shortcomings of the past dynasties, how can you slander it. Lu Dafang shouted angrily.

"And now that the Great Song Dynasty has just defeated Qingtang, and there are two strong enemies in Liaoxia, the birds are not finished, and the good bow is hidden first, what is this not the self-destruction of the Great Wall?" Fan Zheng asked rhetorically.

Zhang Dian said coldly: "It is important to resist foreign enemies, and it is also the top priority to prevent the disasters of the feudal towns. ”

Although Zhang Dian is a reformer, he actually belongs to the civilian officials, and the emphasis on civil affairs over military force is related to the interests of civilian officials, and Zhang Dian naturally stands on the side of civil officials.

Fan Zheng sneered: "So today's incident has nothing to do with justice, it's just a repetition of General Di's old story!" ”

"Di Qing!"

The hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help Hao Ran, they knew what happened to Wuquxing in the Great Song Dynasty, Di Qing finally died of depression, and it was inseparable from the exclusion and suppression of civil officials back then.

Fan Zheng said respectfully to Zhao Xu: "Qiqi official, if the DPRK and China do not change the status quo of emphasizing literature and light on military force, let alone a kind of Pu, even if General Di is alive, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight against Liaoxia, and the so-called big detour strategy is just empty talk!" ”

Zhao Xu was shocked in his heart, and his desire to unify the world and the core national policy of the Great Song Dynasty were entangled with each other.

"The ministers asked the officials to cure the crime of Fan Zheng's evil words to confuse the public, and it is the national policy of the Great Song Dynasty to control the military with literature, and it must not be changed, otherwise the disaster of the feudal town will be repeated, and it will be the end of the Great Song Dynasty." Zeng Bu said solemnly.

This time, almost all the hundred officials collectively impeached Fan Zheng, without him, the impact of the disaster in the late Tang Dynasty was too great, so big that all the literati were terrified.

Moreover, although the Great Song Dynasty is weak, the offense is insufficient, but the defense is more than enough, coupled with the large land and abundant resources, it is natural to not believe that Liaoxia can destroy the Great Song Dynasty, on the contrary, the generals who can rebel with weapons in their hands are the focus of the Great Song Dynasty's defense.

"Hey!"

Su Song couldn't help but sigh, at this point, he couldn't agree with Fan Zheng.

Seeing the collective opposition of the hundred officials, the balance in Zhao Xu's heart slowly turned to Yiwen Yuwu, and he couldn't help but look at Fan Zheng apologetically.

Seeing this, Fan Zheng sneered at the moment: "Fan's meaning is not to abolish the use of literature to control the military, but since there is a huge problem in the use of literature to control the military, it is like a disease in the human body, and it only needs to be treated, but I didn't expect that the princes of the Manchu Dynasty would hide the disease and avoid medical treatment?" ”

"Shall I avoid medical treatment?"

The officials were in an uproar and looked at Fan Zheng with a frown.

They naturally knew that the use of civil power to make the Great Song Dynasty's force weak, but compared to the harm of the disaster of the feudal town, it was worth sacrificing this force.

"Fan Taicheng can have an evil recipe?" Zhao Xu was excited, and blurted out the word evil prescription.

The Manchu Dynasty officials were full of black lines, but they didn't care about this, but stared at Fan Zheng deadly, wanting to know what Fan Zheng had to do to solve the disadvantages of using literature to control force.

Fan Zheng looked around the entire court and said solemnly: "Weichen has three strategies, which are enough to solve the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty's use of literature to control martial arts. ”

"Upper, middle and lower three strategies!"

The corners of the hundred officials couldn't help twitching, and the stubborn disease that was helpless in their hands actually had three strategies in Fan Zheng's mouth.

"But come on!" Zhao Xu couldn't wait.

"The next policy is that the Great Song Dynasty maintains the current status quo of using literature to control military force, and assists in the various advanced weapons of the ordnance supervision, although it is not enough to complete the Great Roundabout strategy, but it is also enough to protect itself." Fan Zhengzheng color road.

"Just self-preservation!" Zhao Xu frowned, although he tended to use literature to control martial arts, but in the face of the great temptation of dominating the world, he was naturally eager to try.

Fan Zheng smiled bitterly: "Even Di Qing, the martial arts star of the Great Song Dynasty, is alive, he can't destroy Liaoxia, let alone these generals at the border now, and even if there is another martial arts star, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape Di Qing's fate!" ”

The hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but look flattering, although what Fan Zheng said was ugly, but it was a fact, the higher the status of the military general, the more he would be feared by the civil officials, and the more ruthless the suppression.

"What about the middle policy?" Zhao Xu shook his head and said.

The reason why the next policy is the next policy means that it cannot change the disadvantages of using literature to control force, and at most it can increase some of the self-protection ability of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Zhongce is to follow the example of the Yang generals, appoint the loyal and good generals of the Great Song Dynasty, and form a family-style general, they have lived in the military for generations, and have done their best for the Great Song Dynasty, and countless sons and daughters have died on the battlefield, and their loyalty and force are recognized by the world." Fan Zhengzheng color road.

"General Yang!"

"Family-style shomon!"

………………

The officials immediately discussed, there are not many such families in the Great Song Dynasty, for example, the Northwest Farming Family and the Folding Family.

One of the reasons why the imperial court was able to tolerate them was that they had been fighting abroad for generations, and they had already formed a feud with the Western Xia, and it was impossible to rebel, otherwise there would be no place for them in the world.

Fan Zheng continued: "Of course, although this kind of family-style generals are reused, they cannot entrust all the military power, only generals, not commanders, so that they can form several elite troops for the Great Song Dynasty and avoid the disaster of the feudal town." ”

Zhao Xu nodded slightly, this is indeed a good note, coupled with the example of the Yang family generals, the Great Song Dynasty is more tolerant of the family-style generals, after all, they have been loyal to the country for generations, and it is impossible to doubt their loyalty.

The officials of the court also nodded slightly, this method can also be tried.

"However, although this method is good, it can only be done with a few elite troops, and if you want to use it to complete the big detour strategy, you can't do it at all." Fan Zheng shook his head and sighed.

Zhao Xu frowned and nodded slightly, Liaoxia has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and it is impossible for the Yang family army, the seed family army, and the Zhejia army to be applied on a large scale, and can only be used as sharp knives, and it is impossible to fight against the Liaoxia elite soldiers.

"And if you want to solve the drawbacks of using literature to control force, not only to ensure the absolute control of the army by the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty, but also to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, there is only one way." Fan Zheng said solemnly.

Baiguan's heart froze, and he immediately understood that Fan Zheng was about to make the best decision.

"That is, the literati practice martial arts, the integration of civil and military, so that there is naturally no drawbacks of using literature to control martial arts!"

Fan Zheng spread his hands.
