In this weather where the heavy snow almost covered everything, Gao Fangping rushed back to Hezhong Mansion with Ju Jing and Liang Hongying, as well as a small number of guards, and began to inspect the wounded barracks. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason for their opposition to sending troops must have been in the situation of the wounded barracks.

When entering, not only was it overcrowded, but the voice of distress was endless, which really made Gao Fangping, who had always been more ruthless, look at it with a heartbeat.

The biggest problem this time was not the usual battle damage, but because of the Battle of Hezhongfu, which was launched in the coldest season.

There were so many wounded that were gathered at the moment, many of them frostbitten and shocking, and many of the sergeants had crippled feet.

In this era, leather goods were luxuries, so ordinary sergeants did not have snow boots to protect against the cold, but ordinary tattered cloth boots. Bi Shijing's department is a forbidden army, the equipment is slightly better, and the quality of the cloth boots is good, but most of the frostbite and frostbite at the moment come from the mud legs of the Qin Feng military department and the Yongxing military department.

Gao Fangping endured the disgust, approached the feet of some sergeants to observe carefully, and could only sigh slightly, Gao Fangping had already seen that the color was wrong, it was frozen and stuck together, and it was necrotic.

In the cries of countless people, Gao Fangping pointed to the typical injured foot to the field doctors and said: "What can't be saved can only be removed, it must be fast, and it cannot be delayed." “

There were many of them who were still fourteen or fifteen years old, and they wept and cried out that they didn't want to be crippled, and that they didn't want to have their toes amputated.

And some people can't cry, they are always in a coma, and it is unknown whether they can wake up.

"Be quiet, listen to me."

Gao Fangping raised his hand slightly, calmed down and said, "What should be removed must be removed, this cannot be delayed, otherwise it will drag down the whole leg." Although all kinds of drugs are immature and lacking, fortunately, it is the coldest season, the time when the risk of infection is the least and the easiest time to recover from surgery, so we must seize this opportunity. ”

He also said: "Your disability makes the government feel very distressed, but this is also a medal for your war for the country, and the government will do everything to reduce your disability to the minimum, and at the same time I promise not to give up on any of you, and if you are still willing to fight and can fight after being cured, you will continue to follow the government." If you can't fight, if you don't want to fight, this government will count you as having completed your service for the country, and you will be honorably discharged due to injury, and you will be given proper placement, and you can choose the work in the rear, Bianjing, Jiangzhou, or the household registration of the Daimyo Mansion, you can settle down if you want to, all kinds of factories, or poor posts, you can choose at will, and there will definitely be arrangements. ”

At this point, people were completely stunned! Don't cry anymore, stupidly half-open mouth!

This is an unheard of form of compensity, many of them have served in the Western Army for generations, and they have never heard of such an arrangement. This is a little heart-warming thing under the bad news of cripplement.

Leaving them crying blindly, stunned, and sad. Gao Fangping continued to inspect.

Some soldiers were even more serious, the entire soles of their feet were crippled, and the cloth boots were almost frozen to the point of flesh and blood, and they could not be removed, so they had to be cut off the entire soles of their feet. And such people are in a coma, they will not know that they are "crippled". Some of them may wake up, but some of them won't.

This was caused by the Battle of Hazhongfu, which lasted for three days. This is also the reason why Shi Wengong, Xu Ning, and the seed division, who personally led the troops to fight, opposed the continued dispatch of troops. Because the implication is that the Hezhong Province area is still like this, so what kind of bad climate will it be after crossing the Great Wall?

Without the support of cold equipment, in this case, it is really over the Great Wall and won more bargaining chips for the imperial court, but is the price worth it?

In the imperial court, the casualties at the level of the national dynasty are just numbers, that is, some ordinary soldiers freeze to death from frostbite, but for the seed division, it is the really useful iron army that dies.

Thinking like this, Gao Fangping could only sigh. Because the war came too quickly, even the Jiangzhou base and pig farm were unable to produce cotton boots for the bitter cold expedition under reasonable guidance.

Yes, only cotton boots, that is already very luxurious, as for leather goods impossible, there are not so many animal skins, so even if there is a cluster assembly line production, it is useless, even if the pig industry is basically developed now, but pig skin for the entire Song Dynasty is also nervous, still used as the basic material of leather armor and fish scale armor for armaments, generally do not choose to make leather boots. It is also a luxury to have made it.

These problems can be solved, but they cannot be solved now.

In a not very good mood, Gao Fangping left the wounded barracks, and had no choice but to shelve the decision to expedition to Western Xia on the eve of the Shangyuan Festival, and had to find another way.

They are not wrong among the breeders, and the ones who remain now are really the elite of the elite, this group of people can die in battle formations, but if they die in the weather, they are really tyrannical......

In the joy of Bianjing and the imperial court enjoying the victory, the Great Song Dynasty passed another year old, and unconsciously four years of Daguan passed.

At the beginning of the month, just like the historical trajectory, Cai Jing set this year's year name "Zhenghe", Zhao Ji doesn't like Cai Jing now, but he likes this year name, there is no reason.

So now it is the beginning of the first year of Zhenghe, and Bianjing City, including the northwest of the battlefield, is also preparing for the upcoming Shangyuan Festival.

As Gao Fangping famously said: Luck doesn't always be good.

No wonder Gao Fangping felt so cold that he hit the street before. Unable to wait for the Shangyuan Festival, many officials on Liangzhejiang Road wrote to the imperial court: once in a thousand years, the endless Taihu Lake is frozen all over the line, and the ice is solid, enough for the carriage and horse caravan to walk.

In addition, the unusually cold weather froze all the citrus trees near Dongting to death. The snowfall in Hangzhou is different from the past, and it is unusually thick.

This is true in the south, let alone in the northwest.

These things were interpreted by Cai Jing as "Ruixue Mega Year", and Zhao Ji was very happy and regarded it as double happiness.

Whether this is the real Ruixue Zhaofeng Nian Gao Fangping does not know, but this is the early deepening characteristic of this Xiaoice period of history. Perhaps this is the reason that prompted the Western Xia to rush into the invasion and try to occupy the territory.

Gao Fangping is not optimistic about this, in this situation, the Liao State is facing the same situation as the Western Xia, which is the fuse that will lead to many changes in the future, is it a butterfly waving its wings, it will cause a storm somewhere Gao Fangping does not know, although the Western Xia has been temporarily scrapped, but with the increase in the pressure of survival in the north, the reduction in the production of various materials and grains has intensified, and there will definitely be a war in advance against history.

As a persecuted delusional, Gao Fangping thinks so. Therefore, the military reform that has already begun partially cannot be stopped, and the arms production lines that have already been expanded must be maintained. These things have to be solved.

Of course, it is not wrong to say that Lao Cai of the Great Song Dynasty is not wrong, Ruixue Zhaofeng Year is established, this time such snow, at least this year most areas do not have to worry about insect pests, and the source of epidemic diseases will be reduced compared with previous years.

This year in history, Tong Guan, a eunuch, will be awarded the title of Tai Lieutenant and the highest military attache rank in the Great Song Dynasty. At the same time, this year, Tong Guan was appointed by Zhao Ji to envoy to Liao.

Tong Guan's envoy in history can be said to be the watershed of the Great Song Dynasty and the beginning of the anti-Liao policy of Lianjin.

But now the history that has become slightly willful due to the appearance of Gao Fangping is a bit messy. If Tong Guan really sent an envoy to Liao, it is not known whether it will be the beginning of Lianjin's anti-Liao policy, but it must be related to Gao Fangping's landmark incident of beating the Xixia people too fiercely and making the Liao State afraid.

The policy of "Lianjin to resist Liao" proposed in this era seems to be correct. Because the Liao State is strong and the Jurchens are still small, coupled with the idea of long-distance and close attack, this bullshit theory will look impeccable in this era.

But Gao Fangping stubbornly believes that this is absolutely the wrong policy. This is not because Gao Fangping is a traverser, but Gao Fangping would rather face a powerful enemy that he knows than face a potential opponent who is unknown and does not know him.

Facts have proved that Kou Lao Xi'er's Yuanyuan policy is generally beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, although it is in the midst of intrigue, but the Song and Liao understand each other, the matter will not be too big, the weakening of the Liao State is much faster than that of the Great Song Dynasty, because the current Liao Emperor is much more mediocre than Zhao Ji, and the Sinicization of the Liao State is serious, but the game of Hanwa is very bad, so the bureaucratic system is much worse. This is the reason why the Liao State always wanted the land of the Song State, but was never able to launch a systematic war to destroy the country.

The protection fee agreement signed by Kou Laoxier was probably a sum of money at the time, but the total value of 300,000 yuan is actually negligible and temporarily endured for the 100 million yuan of the Great Song Dynasty.

Looking at it now, it seems that many landmark events are in advance, and I don't know how the situation will turn around.

At this time in history, Cai Jing resigned as prime minister, and Zhang Shangying would become prime minister. However, because of his average talent in government affairs, he was unable to reverse the finances, and his personality and temper would not make Zhao Ji too happy, and he was happy that he and Liang Shicheng had a bitter enmity, and he was beaten and reported every day, so Lao Zhang stepped down after less than a year and got out.

Last year, due to the needs of the situation, Gao Fangping temporarily united with Cai Jing, otherwise Lao Cai would really be rectified and dismissed in Daguan for four years according to the historical trajectory. And now Lao Cai has just lost his prestige and lost most of his right to speak, but he still retains his phase.

This year in history has been a year of jokes. The finances were close to collapse, and Zhao Ji didn't understand, so he put these responsibilities on the head of "this year's Prime Minister Zhang Shangying". In fact, of course, this is something that Lao Cai did in the past.

Although Zhao Ji is generally kind, people are angry when they are short of money, although they are no exception. So after Zhang Shangying got out, Cai Jing will make a comeback again this year in history, aggravating many of his "drug policies" and making money for Zhao Ji.

Lao Cai has no skills, and the means of making money are nothing more than salt, iron, wine, tea, etc., and increasing the government's subsidies to the internal government, so that Zhao Ji spends money lavishly, of course Zhao Ji is happy. At that time, Empress Xiangong was no longer there, and no one cared about Zhao Ji's willfulness, so the dynasty began to weaken day by day.

And now Gao Fangping's confidence is: even after the battle of Song and Xia, the finances will not be exhausted. Now the income of Jiangzhou, Jeju, Mengzhou, and Kaifeng is enough to make up for the decline in the northwest.

Then the visible benefit is: the investment effect of the Daimyo Mansion will soon ferment into power, and that is really Gao Fangping's political achievement.

In the political and political years in history, under Cai Jing's frenzied tea policy reform, this item could only provide Zhao Ji's inner government with an additional one million income per year. But this means is really weak, and at the moment, without harming the interests of the country and the dynasty, Gao Fangping can make a mahjong casually, and he can earn more than that for Zhao Ji. It is not to pull the people's resentment.

As long as there is money, people's anger is not heavy, and Zhao Ji is even more so. So he said that everything in the world is a matter of money.

These are the good aspects, which have taken place imperceptibly under the silent promotion of Xiao Gao, and as for the future, how it will eventually evolve, we can only wait and see......
