It's a pity that Emperor Shenzong didn't see the results of the battle, he only listened to the report of the forbidden soldiers, and he didn't plan to observe the shooting range according to what the horse said.

"Brother Wang, come on, come on, quickly send someone to drag the cattle and sheep back and wash them and give them to the soldiers, it's a pity that they are all fresh meat thrown away. Don't forget to pick up the arrows and arrow feathers for me, and there should be no shortage of them. In the evening, bring some hind leg of lamb to Ugin Xing, and I will invite you to eat roast leg of lamb. ”

The task has finally been completed, and it is none of their business whether the emperor and the ministers are satisfied or not, they have their own way of thinking about it. All I can do now is take a breath and rest, and then wait to hear the decree.

"Just now there was smoke here, cattle and sheep lodging, Du Wei wouldn't be doing it in the open altar, right?" The crown was not qualified to come to watch the drills, but he was certainly not idle, and he could make do with a telescope while standing on the big Olympics.

"It's better that Brother Wang doesn't know about this matter, the more you know, the more dangerous it is. The affairs of the court are settled by His Majesty and the ministers, in addition to drinking wine and eating meat, the two of us have a total of nautical charts, and it is the difference to put the money in our own pockets. I will soon be far away, has Brother Wang's ship ever been ready to stop? As the saying goes, the poor family is rich, my family has a lot of things and a large population, and there are also female dependents, I dare not say that I can take His Majesty's dragon boat, it must be spacious and comfortable enough. "What he can't figure out, it's useless for the crown to know, and now it's time to think more about the next step.

"Although the lieutenant is relieved of this matter, there is still some means in the water crown. The warships of the Water Tiger Wing will have many soldiers, how can the family of the captain get along with those muddy people. I've arranged it all, and there will be a trough boat to help me, and it will be spacious and comfortable, and it will be escorted by a warship, so that nothing goes wrong. The crown didn't really want to inquire about military secrets, and as soon as he heard about the charts, he immediately forgot about the rest and began to take credit for himself.

"Tankers? Brother Wang can also transfer the trough ship! Wang Guan's proposal made Hong Tao a little vague, the trough ships that departed from Kaifeng to the west were all transporting military supplies, how could a small water tiger wing be arranged casually.

"It is impossible to transfer and cut off, but those grain merchants also have water tiger wings. Their ships not only contain grain, but also a lot of wine, and no one can get through if they are carefully inspected. Each family vacated a boat for convenience, who dared not allow it, and the crown immediately took the question! ”

Wang Guan taught Hong Tao another lesson, it is worth it to have a water tiger wing and a water anti-smuggling mission, to conduct spot checks on the boats on the waterway near Kaifeng. Inside the water gate belongs to the tax superintendent, and outside the water gate belongs to the water tiger wings.

"Righteousness, if there are benefits in the future, you must still think about Brother Wang, hehehe......" As soon as he said this, Hong Tao understood that the crown was using the power in his hands to go away.

It is illegal for those grain merchants to carry goods in tankers, but as long as the tax superintendent and the water tiger wings do not squeak and break the law, it is also illegal. If you want the water tiger wings not to squeak, some small requests from the crown naturally can't be refused, such as bringing some goods or people along the way.

In the summer of the third year of Yuanfeng, the king of the horse was convicted of burning down the Jinming Pond with the palace after drinking, and he was relegated to Huangzhou Jingluo to pacify the envoy, and he knew that Huangzhou and Jingzhao Mansion were guilty of burning down the Jinming Pond Palace.

The horse thanked the court, and soon the family boarded the trough boat from the West Water Gate and went up the Yellow River. The eldest princess was pregnant and did not follow, and stayed in the palace to give birth. But when he heard the bad news, he didn't eat for three days, and he begged the royal brother to no avail.

This is a major event that happened in Kaifeng City in 1080, and the first thought of those who listened to this news was: the crazy horse who had heard his name for a long time but rarely saw him finally did not escape the revenge of the new party, and Su Shi was demoted to a fate. It seems that if it weren't for the eldest princess being pregnant, and the emperor was extrajudicially gracious, this punishment would have been heavier.

There are few sympathizers, and the common people are very fond of seeing the powerful unlucky. Although the horse doesn't have any real power, and he is an unlucky guy in the court, who can figure it out so clearly among the common people.

Besides, the things that the crazy horse did were indeed hated, and a good Jinming Pond made him smoky, and the flowers, trees, and water were all covered with a layer of black ash.

Originally, in March and April every year, the literati and scholars could still come here to recite poems and compose poems, but now it is good, everywhere you rub it is black, and the scenery is terrible, and the crime is extremely evil!

But this is only the subjective conjecture of ordinary people and middle- and lower-class literati, and the fact that the horse is demoted is not a concept in the court at all.

Degraded? Where is this Nima being degraded, it is simply a light descending and a dark rise. The rank of the commander of the horse and the general of the left guard is not low, but this is all false, and there is no right at all.

It is a real mistake for all classes to wait for Yu, but in the imperial city, this kind of military position is no different from a fictitious position, except for hanging a waist card to swagger around, there is not even a single dispatch, let alone a soldier.

Although the rank is half a level lower than that of General Zuowei, this position is an ad hoc and important position, and it is a bit like the county magistrate and the county armed forces minister in later generations, and even has greater power.

Huangzhou is a border theater with five large military villages and tens of thousands of forbidden troops stationed, and in principle, the pacification envoy also has the right to command these forbidden troops, but he does not have direct command power.

But what is even more puzzling is that in addition to the pacification envoy of Huangzhou Jingluo, this degraded concubine also holds the position of Huangzhou and Jingzhao Mansion to raise the position of the money minting department.

This position has nothing to do with the later county-level mining bureau and the director of the mint sent by the central government to a certain place, and the errand of the pacification envoy of the Jinglu.

Generally speaking, this kind of position is taken care of by the local transshipment department, and it has never been set up in the north, but south of the Yangtze River. Because the copper mines are concentrated in the south, there is no copper, what can be used to mint copper coins?

The most unreasonable thing is that Huangzhou and Jingzhao Mansion are separated by two roads and thousands of miles from seven states, so why not let a crazy horse who has been convicted and demoted hold important positions in both places?

This kind of suspicion can actually be solved after being in a high position, and on the issue of appointing a concubine, the high-level leaders of the Great Song Dynasty are about to quarrel, some people support, some oppose, and some people sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

The supporters have good reasons, and the colt has the ability and achievement. The large head of water he made has been proven to be indeed a cure for wounds, and there are hundreds of steel knives, armor, and arrows that are all weapons of war.

In addition, perfume nominally has nothing to do with the horse, but the people at the top are the same as Spiegel, especially the old party, they occupy an absolute share of overseas trade, and with perfume, a low-cost and high-value-added commodity, the benefits must be greatly dropped.

It is already very immoral to get a benefit and not pay in return, if you are stepping on a well digger, this is too different from the code of conduct they have learned, even if you do not support the appointment of the colt, you have to be a neutral person with your nose pinched.

The biggest disadvantage of the horse is that it has no combat experience, but the pacification envoy is not the chief general of the army, and the main work is to preside over the reclamation, armament, and logistics work in the local area, which is the strength of the horse, and whoever is not satisfied will come up with two products to try.

The opponents also have good reasons, the horse has lost his mind, and where can he let a madman who can't even think of his parents take on this heavy responsibility.

Besides, even if the Jinglu pacification envoy is not the main general of one party, the local Xiang army and regimental training are 100% under the command of the Jingluo pacification envoy, and it is against the ancestral system to let the relatives take charge of the army.

Naturally, the neutrals don't say anything, but they think further. At this time, Huangzhou was not as good as usual, and in early July, the local Tubo people who returned to the country sent a warning to the imperial court through the border garrison, and the Western Xia was gathering troops on the border of Huangzhou, intending to build a city.

After the imperial court learned about it, it was very difficult, if it ignored and let the Western Xia build the city, there would be big trouble on the border of Huangzhou in the future.

Most of this area is no man's land, the army supply is difficult, with the city is equivalent to having a supply point, the Western Xia cavalry can go deep into the hinterland of Huangzhou at any time for hundreds of miles, only rely on the ancient bone dragon village along the way, Nanzong Fort, Linzong village, Degu village may not be able to stop.

Once Huangzhou City is lost, the entire northwest of Qinfeng Road will be chaotic, and it will have to affect the nearby Xihe Road. This piece is the Tubo and Xiqiang ethnic groups that Wang Shao just appeased a few years ago, they were originally the grass on the wall, and whoever is strong will be attached to whom, if the Western Xia army comes, they don't have to think about it, they will definitely defect immediately.

Send troops to attack, there are rivers and mountains on the other side of the border, the terrain is very complicated, there are more soldiers to go and logistics can't keep up, and if there are fewer soldiers, I'm afraid that we can't fight. This lesson is not once or twice, and you should not act rashly until you find out whether the other party is going to build a city.
