At this time, there was no local government warning on Jingyanggang that there was a list of man-eating tigers on the mountain.

How can the government care about such a thing?

Nowadays, the local government of the Manchu Song Dynasty is busy with one thing, that is: the magistrates facing the threat of giants such as Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Chao Gai are busy dealing with the prevention and encirclement in the new year. Spring is coming, and it is convenient to send troops to loot and fight, the three major Kou are powerful, and they all have the ability to attack the state and break the government, and the magistrates near the Kou area may become the ghost of the city at any time if they are not careful, and it is a matter of their own net worth and life, how can the government not be concerned, how dare they be careless. In addition, there is also the great responsibility and pressure of the imperial court's strict decree and the dispatch of special personnel to supervise and urge the prevention and extermination of the bandits. Dare to neglect the will of the imperial court is also at risk of losing one's head.

After the national disaster last year, the imperial court was different from the past, and had suffered from serious phobia and doubts, and always felt that the imperial court had lost its dignity, its majesty was greatly lost, and its deterrent power was weak, and the officials and officials below had less awe of the imperial court, dared to be dishonest, had disdain and resentment, and did not want to listen to the court's greetings. In fact, a bad situation has been formed that cannot leave the capital, and the country is in danger...... Therefore, in troubled times, the saying of heavy canons came out, and the political tradition of not punishing scholars and doctors in the Great Song Dynasty was no longer emphasized.........

It's no wonder that the imperial court has such a worried and ruthless attitude, it is really a case of the Northwest Jiangmen and the four military states headed by Zhao Gonglian in Cangbei being in fact semi-independent, no, it should be said to be an example, the influence is too big and too bad, the people in the officialdom, no one is a fool, how can they not hear the relevant rumors, do not know the truth and do not have some ideas?

The Jiangmen group of the Western Army was too far away, separated from the interior of the Great Song Dynasty by a large no-man's land, and hung alone, and there was a new enemy in the northwest: the Liaohuang group and the Tubo savage tribes that were constantly moving down on the plateau...... The tyrannical Western Xia Kingdom does not exist at all, but there is a new threat in the West of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is extremely necessary for the Western Army Jiangmen Group to be loyal to the imperial court to continue to resist, and the current imperial court is weak in terms of military strength and financial resources to envelop the Western Army, how can it have the strength to go on an expedition to deter and effectively control it?

I have no choice but to let it go, not to oppose the Song Dynasty, and not to surrender to the enemy.

This is mainly a special case formed by the geographical situation. It's not something that the government in other parts of the Great Song Dynasty can learn from.

And the Cangbei group has become the de facto strongest combat effectiveness of the Great Song Dynasty and the most dependent border military force for national defense, Zhao Gonglian's superhuman political skills and ability to govern the army have been proven again, clearly displayed in front of the world, and this time it is to make the civil and military officials who have always been dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty even disdain and disagree with them dare not openly express their attitudes, so they have to shut up honestly...... The hard power of the people is strong enough, sitting at the border, waving a knife at Liao, the Liao State will be frightened and unlucky, the Liao State is weak and can't afford it, if you turn your face and wave the knife at the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is afraid that it will be even worse, the country will be divided and collapsed, and the wonderful regime will collapse directly...... The role of the Cangbei Army is too important, and the attitude of Cangbei is directly related to the rise and fall of the two great powers, and even the life and death of the two great powers, the power of this kind of one-word decision on the life and death of the country is much greater than that of the Western Army, and there are many people of insight in the imperial court, and there are too many people who can play politics, how dare they provoke Cangbei...... I didn't see the old lady like a living bodhisattva of the Cangzhao family, and angrily called the little grandson of the bastard bully who almost everyone in the family knew about going to the court in the capital to point at the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military noses and insult and threaten, and the court didn't dare to do anything, so that kid left the capital so peacefully and proudly after he was arrogant.......

Cangbei's strength and situation are not comparable to other places in the Great Song Dynasty, but it is not impossible to imitate and learn...... The local government, its own strength is not enough, the strength of one place is not good, then it can be similar to Cangbei in many states and places to engage in unity, everyone nearby plays alliance and autonomy, it's okay, everyone plays their own game, if there is something, they will join forces to resist the imperial court and raise troops to ask for guilt, everyone can be the emperor of the soil........ Anyway, the local army is composed of bad guys, and they have little loyalty to the imperial court.......

These are all political dangers that the imperial court is worried about, and they are all the most worried about the imperial court from the two majestys to the dignitaries below....... Actually, it's a lot of thought.

It's not that there won't be such magistrate careerists, but only a very small number of scholars or military attachés will have this kind of rebellious and arrogant thoughts, which are really confined to reality and can't be played at all......... In a thrilling national disaster, although the majesty of the imperial court was lost, the local government was not the same.

The central government has weak control over local governments. Local governments are also weak in controlling the people in their jurisdictions. If you really dare to play a joint rebellion against the imperial court, how can the people honestly listen to the local government, in order to avoid the excessive taxation of grain and the rampant expropriation and war, I am afraid that as soon as the news of the official rebellion comes out, the people will flee the local area in a big way to find another place, anyway, the last thing that the Great Song Dynasty lacks now is ownerless real estate and land, how can you not settle down and buy a house again....... The land is vast and sparsely populated, the financial resources are limited, and a large number of people are lost to feed, and the local rulers are starving to death, and they still enjoy the taste of splitting the land vassal states.

The most important thing is that the military is not necessarily something that the local government can rely on and use.

It is precisely with the invisible power and related hope that the unification of the country can have, these various villains who make up the local army will converge and honestly listen to the management and eat food as soldiers, once there is no such righteousness and security, how can the villains honestly listen to the local officials who have born the emperor's dream?

Play rebellion and be the emperor of the soil? Lao Tzu won't do it himself, enjoy it by himself.

Lao Tzu is a strong and brave person, but he is not an official who only has a strong mouth, why does Lao Tzu fight against the imperial court, but let you wastes who have no ability to be emperors and nobles continue to ride on Lao Tzu's head as a prestige? Lao Tzu is a bad guy.......

In fact, the local civil and military officials are carefully managing and satisfying the army, and they are most afraid that these villains will turn their faces and kill them...... Just as the court feared that the magistrates would rebel and stand on their own. Worried and trying to strengthen the control of the villainous army, it always feels unreliable, how can the local civil and military still have the heart to play joint rebellion and self-reliance.......

In addition, the Song Dynasty was too good to officials and scholars, it was simply accustomed to it, and the treatment was too generous, and it also effectively governed the officials as a whole into cowardice and greed for comfort and pleasure, greedy and perverted the law...... If they don't rebel, the magistrates actually enjoy the treatment of the emperor of the princes, so why bother what?

There was also a very complex officialdom system of mutual containment in the Song Dynasty, which also greatly limited the rebellion. Power is scattered, there are too many people in the government who have the right to interfere in affairs, the people's hearts are too mixed, and it is difficult to unify and rebel under the normal stability of the country? Where can you hide a secret? I didn't move much, I was afraid that it would be leaked as soon as I showed some meaning, and I was reported, and then I ..... It's over. The principal officials of the local civil and military forces are often not locals, and how can rebelling for personal desires win the trust and support of people in other places.......

In that case, the local government will focus on continuing to be loyal servants of the imperial court and reaping the "legitimate" interests in real safety, and where there is no such threat as the three major cowards, they are busy searching for and arresting the common people who have committed crimes, and serving them as coolies for various sentences, selling or subleasing them to the families of relevant friendly people as tenants, or using them for official mining to benefit and make political achievements..... This is also good for the army, which can not only prevent the officers and soldiers from being idle, but also "train the troops" and let the soldiers personally taste some sweetness, buy the hearts of the soldiers, and the power and lives of the magistrates are guaranteed by the army, and can also effectively deter and control the almost common stubborn people in the jurisdiction.... Kill more than one stone.

Even the imperial court is also keen to do this.

It's just that the ministers tacitly took care of each other first to get good labor for their own families, and did not remind and urge the emperor to make a new policy of labor reform for the time being.

This is the case all over the country, and Yanggu County can be an exception.

The Yanggu County Commander is still the one before the disaster.

This county master is the most common kind of official in the Great Song Dynasty, you say he is bad, he feels very wronged, he didn't do anything bad that people and gods are angry about, and even can be regarded as a well-known official, but if you say that he is a good person and a good official for the country and the people, it is impossible, he is a standard of this era, and it is also the most common scholar in the grassroots officialdom.

The family and the country are all over the world, and only when there is a family can there be a country, and only by taking care of oneself can one have the heart and strength to serve the country and the world. This is the common mentality of Confucian scholars.

But it is precisely because he has no obvious evil deeds that he was not killed by anger in the frenzy, nor was he swept away..........

For this county magistrate, there are tigers in Jingyanggang who are keen to eat people, which is not a matter at all. He doesn't care about this at all. If there is a tiger in danger, you should avoid it and don't go to Jingyanggang. It's not like you don't have the ears to hear the news and the brains to judge anything. If you don't have a brain, you will die if you die, damn it, what's the pity?

In addition, the county government has no ability to offer a reward for exterminating the tiger.

The money is not enough, and the people of the yamen spend it themselves. There is nowhere to get the gift money for the filial piety officialdom backers, how can there be spare money to reward what kind of tigers. Of course, even if the reward is within its reach, there are not enough hunters to organize against a ferocious tiger...... Orions, especially Orion Masters, were one of the main forces of defection and robbery last year, and almost all of them ran away from pirates. The county government just wants to do something for the people, but they are also powerless. This is how this county magistrate explained and comforted himself to his subordinates.

.............................

Wu Song drunkenly led the horse to work, and was blown by the cold mountain wind, and the alcohol suddenly became light-headed, but the consciousness of preventing the appearance of tigers did not dissipate, but he didn't see tigers and wolves on the way up the mountain, even the most common wild boar in the mountains, but he saw a few hares jumping and foraging........

Wu Song walked around in a drunken state, and couldn't help but feel funny: "There are not even wild boars in this mountain. No big prey to eat, tigers? Can you live here? If you don't run hungry, you'll starve to death in this area. Such a big tiger, how can it survive with just a few rabbits......

The more I thought about it, the more I thought about it, the more relieved I became, and I even thought that the rumors were ridiculous and interesting, and even the restaurant where I lived believed the rumors....... Three bowls are not enough? Hehe, the wine is good wine, it's really exciting, but I Wu Erlang just drank ten bowls and twenty bowls and still passed the post to show you, saving the ignorant from underestimating the heroes of the world.......

Wu Song didn't know that it was because there were tigers in this place that he didn't see the most common wild boar in the mountain all the way up the mountain...... Those who were not eaten by the tigers were scared away and avoided the dangerous places in this area. It is often said that stupid pigs, pigs, are not stupid, and everyone in later generations knows that pigs are actually very intelligent animals. The wild boar is fierce but will not fight against the tiger.

Wu Song dragged the reins of the horse in one hand and the whistle stick in the other, and staggered to the top of the hill.

The midday sun at the top of the mountain was bright and warm, but the mountain wind was also stronger. Wu Song also drank up and couldn't walk anymore, in the haze I saw that this area was full of sunshine, and the weeds were green, well, there was a place on the side of the road where the wall seemed to be more than a foot high, just blocking the cold wind, and under the "sandwich wall" was a flat stone ground with a wall, wide and long enough to lie down a big man like Wu Song, and there was actually a semi-natural low stone bolt horse pile next to it, and the pile area was tender and tender green grass...... Wu Song's eyes lit up, hehe staggered over with a smile, bolted the horse, let the horse bow his head and eat the grass, and he tried to open his eyes and take out the animal skin sleeping bag from the horse's bag and spread it on the stone ground under the "clamp wall", drunk and delirious, he didn't forget to put the bag away and don't be taken away, but there was a pair of treasure knives hidden in the bag, and the bag was guarded as a pillow, killing two birds with one stone, and the self-defense whistle stick was placed inside, lying comfortably, and the warm sun was shining on his body......

Blocking the wind, there is light, well, this is really a good bed made for me Wu Song...... As soon as this thought was blurred, Wu Song's head tilted, his hand held the whistle stick beside him, his heavy eyelids closed, and he fell into a deep sleep in an instant...... At this time, if a carnivorous beast appeared, without the tiger level, a sick and weak old wolf could easily kill Wu Song.........

I slept soundly.

People are unpredictable everywhere all the way south, coupled with the fact that there are few people and a lot of desolate places where wild beasts are rampant, it can be said that there is danger everywhere, Wu Song has to keep one eye open when people sleep in the wilderness, and he has not been able to sleep well and safely, as strong as Wu Song's physique is actually a little unbearable, at this time he was drunk and involuntarily lost his sense of prevention, and he was finally able to sleep well in the dangerous place where there was a man-eating tiger.

I don't know how long I slept for a long time, in my drunken dream, Wu Song was still smacking his lips and muttering good wine, haha good wine, come again....... In the dream, I was drinking happily, but suddenly I was dazed and heard a frightened neighing of a horse, and it kept ....... Wu Song was panicked, shook his head in a drowsiness, and his face was full of impatience, but in the end, he had fought the Jurchen on the battlefield and been a scout in Cangbei for several months, the vigilant habits of the warriors and soldiers played a role, he was confused, but he still instinctively opened his eyes and looked around.....

As soon as I opened my eyes, my vision was blurred, and I felt that the sun was dazzling, and I couldn't see anything clearly, but I could hear the horses screaming in horror and seemingly struggling to break the reins and escape. Although this horse is not a good horse, it is also the war horse of the Cangbei Army, the battlefield rushed through the battle, and he was used to seeing bloody and dangerous, he had hunted with the army, he had seen fierce beasts, and he had received special training for military horses, such as firecracker fright, and he was not afraid to be like this.........

Not good, there must be some danger........ Wu Song was startled and became more sober, and suddenly thought of the man-eating tiger mentioned by the restaurant, and subconsciously grabbed the whistle stick for the first time, and at the same time, his eyes happened to look at the rock at the head first, there was nothing, and he couldn't get up when he wanted to get up, but his eyes had turned, and he was vigilant and swept towards the thorn bushes in the woods in this area..... Still don't see any danger.......

At the end of March, the leaves in the mountains are still more yellow, less green. Tigers have excellent coat camouflage. The tiger that had tasted the sweetness of eating people was hiding in the weeds of the trees at the moment, and Sensen's eyes looked at the war horse and Wu Song, perhaps considering whether to attack the tall four-legged animal that seemed difficult to deal with first, or the weaker two-legged animal first...... The question of whether to strike first or to be weak is a very philosophical one.

It was extremely close to Wu Song, a fluttering leap...... But Wu Song didn't find it in a sweep........
