Although the power of the regent is very large, it is not so great that he can command the local forbidden army at will beyond the Privy Council, so there is no need to take the initiative to cooperate with anything. Even if the regent takes the initiative to come to the door, then he has to ask for the relevant procedures of the imperial court, if not, I'm sorry, I can't listen to the order.
Even if there is an official document from the imperial court, the friendship will not fully cooperate, and it must be delayed when it can be delayed, and it must be delayed if it cannot be delayed to create opportunities. It's not for personal vendettas, it's for the survival of the family.
As a family of military generals, the change of the country's military system is related to the survival of the family. As soon as the new emperor took office, he immediately replaced the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army with a new army, and set up the front division of the palace and the division of the guards, indicating that he had the intention of attacking the military system.
This kind of change is not a good thing for the breeder, once it loses the right to use the army, the family will lose its dependence for survival. This point has been revealed many years ago in Yongxing Military Road, Qinfeng Road, and Xihe Road, and the Zhe family, Yao family, and seed family have all suffered from it.
In that year, the new army captured Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Suzhou in one go, and also supported the Qingtang people to crusade against the Tibetan ethnic groups, and in less than two years, the foreign threat in the northwest region was reduced to the lowest point.
Originally, it was a great thing, no longer need to station heavy troops on Qinfeng Road and Xihe Road for defense, so that the local people can gradually resume production and be self-sufficient, which not only saves a large amount of military expenditure and countless material supplies, but also may quickly enter the state of taxation like Ganliang Road, so that the treasury is full a lot.
However, what is good for the country is not necessarily good for the family, and if the enemy is lost, the local military general family will lose the foundation of growth. Aren't the ancients cloudy, cunning rabbits and dead lackeys cooking. The enemy has been beaten away, so many troops are no longer needed, and the importance of the military clan will inevitably decline.
At that time, the Yao family, the Zhuang family, and the Zhe family had tried many ways to reverse this decline, including the assassination of Wang Xu, but they all worked. If it weren't for the fact that the Western Xia people also shared the same hatred for Wang Xu, and refused to reveal who secretly assisted in the Great Song Dynasty, Emperor Shenzong would definitely have killed him.
It's not that these families want the Great Song Dynasty to be invaded by foreign tribes, they just want the continuation of the family. No matter who stands in the way, they can only get rid of it quickly, and the interests of the country and the nation must always be ranked behind the family.
Seeing that there was no way to take Wang Xu, several families endured it, and if they couldn't bear it, they couldn't do it, and then within a few years, they snatched Youzhou Road back from the hands of the Khitans, and their prestige was unique for a while, and the east and west roads of Hebei did not belong to the sphere of influence of several families, and the whip was beyond the reach of the whip.
But what happened then made several families overjoyed, Emperor Shenzong, who was determined to reform, skillful, and extremely strong in action, died, and was replaced by Emperor Mingzong, who was stable and well-behaved, directly disbanded the new army, and entrusted the important task of border defense to the family of military generals.
At this time, not only the northwestern states and counties were able to continue to garrison troops, but they also reached into the Hebei Two Roads and Youzhou Road, which was enough to make up for the initial losses. And the Great Song Dynasty military god went to Yangzhou to build rivers and roads, and he couldn't jump up anymore.
If you knew that the good times were only five or six years, even if a few families risked the lives of a few children and nephews, they would have to kill Wang Shu in Yangzhou. This guy is so hateful, he actually led a private army to the north, defeated the Tangut people in one fell swoop, and also broke everyone's hope.
The Western Xia died in the country, which made several families feel like mourning. Without the big rabbit of the Tangut people, wouldn't the military generals in the northwest all have to be cooked by lackeys. Relying on the threat of the Liao people on Hedong Road alone, it is impossible to support so many big families, and the day of border tranquility is the time when the military general's family declines.
When they first heard that the Khitans had been conquered by the Jurchens, several families almost lost their joy. History has proven that newly established regimes tend to have a relatively high military value and are more keen to settle disputes through war. If the Jurchens were no exception, soon the war on Hedong Road and Hebei Road would be rekindled, and the good days of the military generals family would come!
The new emperor was also very cooperative, he actually scolded the envoy of the Jin State in the court, and kept asking people to take the initiative to return the sixteen states of Youyun. If you think about it with your toes, you can get the answer, and the Jin country will definitely not agree, and it should be followed by the Jin cavalry.
After five or six years of peace, the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army had more horses and better equipment, but it was abandoned and its strength was not as good as before. At this time, it is a great opportunity for the military generals to play a role, and fight a few tough battles for the imperial court to see: the same forbidden army, different people in command, the effect must be different!
Of course, you can't win every time, you have to lose. Fighting a war is a job, and it is also a transaction, and only by coming and going can it last for a long time, and it is not good to win too much and lose too much, and we must control the frequency, scale, and scale of war.
When to win and when to lose, it's a university question. Keep your eyes fixed not only on the battlefield, but also on the movements of the DPRK and the emperor's thoughts. On these issues, whether it is the Zhen family, the seed family, the Yao family, or the Yang family, they all have high attainments, otherwise they will not last for hundreds of years and generations.
Just as everyone rolled up their arms and sleeves to prepare to recast the glory and revitalize the family business, bad news came one after another. First, the imperial court made a decree to negotiate peace with the Jin State, then the news of the new army going north, and finally the regent took the place of the emperor to drive the expedition in person!
Thief! The farmer will die!
After hearing that Wang Shu was going to lead the new army north again and was also shouldering the heavy responsibility of peace talks, Chong'e who went home to recuperate due to back gangrene and almost died.
The 30,000 new army almost wiped out the Khitan Emperor's 100,000 army, and the 10,000 new army drove the national elite of the Western Xia Emperor like a flock of sheep, so that Wang Xu's new army arrived on Youzhou Road, and it was still a fart with the Jin State.
Let's watch him perform alone, and when the new army returns to the court, the military reform of the Great Song Emperor will also come as scheduled, and the first knife will definitely be cut on the heads of several major military generals in the northwest.
At that time, there will be no reason to resist, the enemy is gone, what is the use of so many standing troops? Without a standing army, where will the family of military generals go to get the military money and food of the imperial court? Without military money, how to ensure the interests of the family?
The second son must be removed, this is the survival plan of the family!
Watching the family go into decline? Chong'e didn't admit his fate, he had to make the final blow. But it is not enough to rely on the breeder to complete such a big action, and he has to unite all the northwest clans such as the Zhe family, the Yao family, and the Yang family, and he does not hesitate to drag the sick body around.
One is prosperous, one is lost, and several other families think the same way. If Wang Shu doesn't get rid of it, everyone's bones will be left sooner or later. After hitting it off, a huge plan was slowly running in secret, and the most important executor was the then head of Youzhou's soldiers and horses. In order to show his determination, Chong E also added his own son Chong Pu to it.
"The general doesn't have to be polite, this king is here to negotiate, and he has no intention of taking over the defense of Xijin Mansion. This king is no stranger to this place, and he has already found a place to camp. ”
Hong Tao really didn't know the plans of these families, Wang Shi's committee had been busy monitoring courtiers and local officials, and also had to take care of the auxiliary work of several new special zones, and the manpower was already very insufficient, so he didn't have too much energy to pay attention to these families.
In fact, even if she is not so busy, she will not pay too much attention, the military generals of the Great Song Dynasty have always had no right to speak, and are completely controlled by the civil and official system. As long as they control the imperial court, they have nothing to fear.
That's right, even Hong Tao almost meant that. But there is a miscalculation here, the rules of the court at this time have been broken, and the problem should no longer be considered according to the original state. And it was Hong Tao himself who broke the rules, he was a little confused because he was only in this mountain.
But no matter how confused he is, Hong Tao's chicken thief character will not change. Entering Xijin Mansion is not in the plan at all, unless the Chongyi and Youzhou forbidden armies are all withdrawn, the new army will not fight alongside any forbidden army. It's not that I can't trust them completely, but I'm afraid that they will drag their feet in the way.
"The princes are royal princes and nobles, and it is inconvenient to sleep in the wilderness." Instead of asking why, he offered another reason.
"The general doesn't know that there are no royal relatives and nobles in the new army, and there are no ordinary people and soldiers. Soldiers naturally want to eat and sleep in the open, what do you say? ”
In the face of this reason, Hong Tao didn't think much about it, the concept of imperial power was still very important in the eyes of the ancients, and no one dared to train the prince and the prince as soldiers except himself.
