Wang Wenyu's shouting may not work, that is for the future, Liang personally rode on the horse and shouted: "Chong." ”

Breaking through this line of defense, not far behind is the sphere of influence of the Khitan Obstruction Department, the Song army has the courage to continue to chase, but to pay a heavy price for the pursuit, the Khitan will tacitly ignore the Song Dynasty to engulf the Western Xia? Then this chase will give the Khitans the best reason.

The bloody battle between the two sides began again.

The cold wind is like a knife, and the wind and sand blowing on the face are like sharp cones piercing the cheeks.

However, Li Wang's three troops and horses had the upper hand, and the battle was favorable to the Song army, and the strength of the army was also several times superior to that of the other party.

In the chaotic battle, Liang was dismembered by several Song Dynasty soldiers, and then the remaining soldiers saw that Liang was dead, and most of them put down their weapons and surrendered. Only a few hundred people, under the cover of the wind and sand, escaped. Wang Wenyu and Wang Shao walked up to Li Bingchang and said, "See the lord of the country." ”

Before leaving, Zheng Lang repeatedly told Zhao Ji about the reasons why Li Jiqian was able to rebel successfully, which is a very fair statement.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu used the Xiazhou Party item to contain the Northern Han Dynasty, and he was busy unifying the Central Plains, in fact, Li Yixing and Li Kerui father and son did cooperate with the Song Dynasty, launched attacks on the Northern Han Dynasty many times, restrained the Northern Han forces, and made a lot of contributions to the Song Dynasty's unification of the Central Plains. However, it cannot be said that Song Taizong did something wrong, and from the perspective of the great cause of the country, the centralization of power cannot be filled with this huge force to survive in the northwest. But from the standpoint of the Tangut people, their psychology is different.

And so the later story happened. Li Kerui died, his son Li Jiyun was established, Li Jiyun died, and his son was unable to inherit the throne, and his younger brother Li Jiyun took over. Li Jishou's uncle Li Kewen wrote to him, thinking that Jizhuo should not take up his post and was afraid of chaos, and suggested that the Song Dynasty should summon him to join the court. It was intended to borrow the hand of the Song Dynasty to remove Li Jizhuo from his position as an envoy. This move was in the heart of Song Taizong, who sent the official Yin Xiantong to the governor, and sent the envoy Zhao Ji to enter the court. Li Jitou was in domestic and foreign difficulties, and was forced to enter Beijing and sacrifice Xia Sui Yinjing Prefecture. Standing on the position of the party members, he is selling land for glory, and Li Jisheng is also unwilling to do so. Therefore, when Li Jiqian rebelled, Song Taizong used Zhao Puji to reappoint Li Jitou as the envoy of the difficult festival. and gave the name Zhao Baozhong, but Li Jishou communicated with his brother Li Jiqian privately. Coupled with the salt administration of the Song Dynasty, it led to dissatisfaction among the ministries. Li Jiqian eventually became a prairie fire, although Song Taizong dismissed Li Jizhu, sealed the guilt, and gave the first Beijing division, but Li Jiqian was too big to lose.

Song Taizong was right in the general direction, but when it was implemented, the details were not done well.

One of the main reasons. He and Zhao Pu neglected an important point, that is, cohesion, the Song Dynasty brought Li Yu, Meng Chang, Liu Gang, Qian Hongyu, Wang Yanzheng, and Gao Jichong to the capital of the Song Dynasty, that is, most of the people in the countries under their rule were Han Chinese. Recognition of the Great Unification.

However, in the five states of Western Xia, most of them were party members, and there were still some Qiang, Tubo, Tuyuhun and a small number of Han people, and the proportion of Han people was not large. And he has been on the border for a long time, although he is a Han Chinese, he has also been Qiang. The cohesion is not high. Coupled with the contradictions brought about by the salt administration, this gave Li Jiqian the capital to succeed.

Therefore, Zheng Lang admonished, contrary to the previous rules, and did not bring Li Bingchang to the capital, but continued to put him in Xingqing Mansion and continue to give him the post of lord of the country.

Even if the people know that he is just a puppet, it will play a role in calming the people's hearts. Then next, only if the ethnic policy is properly governed, the people gradually turn their hearts to the Song Dynasty, and at that time, whether Li Bingchang is in Western Xia or not, the problem does not matter. As long as he doesn't die inexplicably and always treats him well, even if there are still some bad people, they can't afford to gather people to make trouble.

Zhao Wei agreed.

This is the benefit of Song Dynasty politics, not afraid to speak. Even in history, Gao Tao silently ignored Sima Guang and others to smear his son, and Song Zhezong almost recognized Zhang Dian for pouring ink on Gao Tao as a whole.

The three of them left a part of the soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield, and escorted Li Bingchang to return to Xingqing Mansion in a majestic manner, but it was not a charge, but like the stars holding the moon, and even gave luxurious cars, umbrella covers, jing, golden festivals, Yulu, Yue, stars, lying melons, standing melons, etc., not the honor guard of the emperor's travel, but also according to the honor guard of the ancient kings.

When the team arrived at Xingqing Mansion, Zheng Lang greeted him from afar outside the city gate, and walked with courtesy as a courtier, calling himself an old minister, not an old man.

Many people in the city saw that Li Bingchang had returned, and tears fell one by one, after all, they had ruled for so many years, and the worst was Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, who gave Li Yuanhao the idea to ascend the throne as the emperor, and the Western Xia people also had orthodoxy.

And this orthodoxy just gave Zheng Lang a headache.

Then the bodies of Empress Dowager Liang and Empress Liang were found, no matter what they did, Zheng Lang gave them a generous burial.

There are a lot of things.

With the disbandment of the various Western Xia armies, most of the Song army returned one after another, but many people had to be left behind. On the other side, the war was still continuing, Zhang Kai led his subordinates, all the way east, took Mudu Mountain, and crossed the Yellow River all the way south. When Yelu Yange heard that the Song Dynasty had captured Xingqing Mansion and another army was coming, he was so frightened that he hurriedly brought the three armies back to the Jinsu army. However, there are still some rebel forces in various places, but the general trend has gone, coupled with the bitter cold of winter, lack of food and clothing, the momentum of resistance is getting weaker and weaker, and by New Year's Day, there are only a few scattered places, which is not harmful.

At the same time, it is necessary to divide the paths.

Under the great victory, some ministers were ecstatic, and mentioned the Longyou Road again, but Zheng Lang still did not agree, the Tang Dynasty Longyou Road included Qin, He, Wei, Shan, Lan, Lin, Jie, Tao, Min, Kuo, Stack, Tang, Liang, Sha, Gua, Gan, Su, Yi, Xi, Ting, Anxi Duhufu. Now except for the part of the Western Regions, the rest have been collected together.

This is also an important symbol of martial arts in the Tang Dynasty.

The renaming of Longyou Road is not unavoidable, but it will cause concern for the Uighurs on the western side of the sagua. The Uighurs gradually declined, there was no need to fight with them, the Song Dynasty recovered the Western Xia, and the focus was not Dali, Jiaozhi, and the Western Regions, but still the Khitan in the north, and the Jurchen in the future.

So it was still named Hehuang Road, Xixia changed to Lingxia Road, retained Lingzhou, Xingqingfu, Huizhou, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Hongzhou, Xiazhou, Yinzhou preparation, and the original Shizhou, Jingzhou, Shunzhou establishment was cancelled, changed to a county. It also pulled Fengzhou in the west of Fuzhou back to the Beihetao of the Tang Dynasty, and set up a state city in Beihetao, named Fengzhou. In addition, the two prefectures of Fulin and Yanzhou and the security army were divided into Lingxia Road, which was the link of the Central Plains Dynasty and Qinzhou as Hehuang Road. Then the Huaiyuan Army was set up in Wuyanhai.

Such. The new Lingxia Road covers the twelve states, one government and two armies.

The suppression of what should be suppressed, the co-optation of what should be co-opted, and the renegotiation of the waiting system.

The Zhubo was given the right to discuss and refute, but like the Tubo, the prefects of each state capital were all served by court officials in turn.

There are a lot of things to do with this alone.

After the success was completed, Wang Shao and Guo Kui were transferred back to Xifu as the privy deputy envoy, in fact, it was a good rest.

But the biggest headache is still one word, money.

Hit until now. The number of soldiers and civilians who died reached 90,000, not counting the wounded.

These martyrs all need money to support their families.

This is the dead, and the living will be rewarded for their merits. These two alone require a lot of money.

It was not a place to use money, and the Western Xia took it back, and there was one less major border trouble, but the northern part of the Western Xia was also facing the possibility of a Khitan invasion. At the same time, there will be rebellions in the country in the future. This necessitated the stationing of a large number of troops, without Western Xia. Shaanxi also has to station a large number of troops, but transporting supplies to the front line in Shaanxi is not the same thing as transporting them to Helan Mountain and Juyanhai, and the cost of the latter is several times higher!

In the future, it will certainly not be possible to supply it like this, and local self-sufficiency can be encouraged. However, at present, Western Xia is clear, and it must be transported from the country. There are also the people in the territory of Western Xia, hundreds of thousands of households, millions of people. Except for the one that was suppressed, the rest had to feed them.

The war is over, and there is a chorus of cheers in the country.

But the treasury was empty. Taxes in all areas had to start to increase again, and people in many areas gradually became poor.

Even in order to save costs, some of the party members who moved to Chang'an to eat moved east step by step, moved to Shaanzhou, ate on the east side of Sanmen, and ate on the west side of Sanmen, and the cost was reduced by half!

No one said anything, the difficulty is that at the moment, there is no harm in Western Xia, and it will be very beneficial to the Song Dynasty for a long time.

……

The first day of the first month.

Li Bingchang was still the lord of Western Xia, and he was originally the emperor, but this emperor was never recognized by Song Liao. In terms of the original relationship, Li Bingchang is the lord of the country, and now he is the lord of the country, his status has not moved, and he continues to stay in the Xixia Palace, there are still many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, but the guards have been reduced, which has to be done, otherwise there are many guards, and a bad story may happen.

And there are ministers.

Some of the Liang henchmen, as well as some of the traitors who had a bad feeling for the Song Dynasty and surrendered to the Western Xia, were all executed for treason. There were still many ministers and nobles left, some of whom were involved in the Song Dynasty's Fan Hou plan, and some were incorporated as deputy officials of various prefectures and counties, but a few were still loyal to Li Bingchang.

Zheng Lang still retains their original official positions, but the official positions that have nothing to do with the system are cancelled one by one. These people came to the palace every now and then to worship Li Bingchang, but it was just a matter of closing the door, and they had no rights outside.

And Zheng Lang is gradually deliberately suppressing.

However, Zheng Lang did not use brutal means against these people. This also further calmed people's hearts. In fact, it was not only to successfully incorporate Western Xia into the Song Dynasty system, but also to explore the experience of governing the sixteen states of Youyun in the future.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Lang, as the envoy of Lingxia Road to appease the scriptures, also came to congratulate Li Bingchang. At least nominally, Li Bingchang is the lord of the country, and Hexi Jiedu is the king of Lingxia County, and his nominal status is slightly higher than Dong Yu. However, before that, Li Bingchang had to meet with the envoys of the Song Dynasty. The messenger was Su Dongpo.

Each narrates, this is just to make an appearance, reduce the complaints of the people of Western Xia, don't take it seriously.

Then he had a banquet in the Xixia Palace, and followed Su Dongpo to his new house in Xingqing Mansion with Zheng Lang.

In a relatively simple courtyard, after Su Dongpo said a few words to Zheng Lang, he took out Zhang Fangping's letter.

There were changes in the personnel of the two prefectures, Xue Xiang died of illness, Zhang Qi and Zeng Xiaokuan were impeached due to lack of talent, and they left the two prefectures one after another. Cai Qu and Zheng Lang's fellow countrymen Sun Gu and Li Qingchen successively ascended the throne. Lu Gong is down, and Lu Gong is on it. Some people are weak, such as Sun Gu, and some people are shallow, such as Zhang Shangying.

Last year, the front was in the general battle, and the pressure on the rear was very heavy, so Zhang Dian was transferred back to Xifu as a privy envoy.

The letter was written by Chapter.

The first thing is that the country's financial pressure is tight, and when the year comes, the imperial court will get an income, that is, the dividends of the Ping An Prison. However, there are more places to use money, and the New Year, relatives and clan officials and soldiers must be rewarded, as well as various activities, in any case, this is a rare victory in the Song Dynasty calendar, and it cannot be a shabby New Year.

These are a lot of money.

In addition, the northwest will continue to allocate a large amount of money and materials.

Talking to Zheng Lang, Zhang Duan was not polite, and directly said that Qian Bo was too nervous and could not be forced again, and if he forced it, he might rebel everywhere.

This is easy to do, Zheng Lang plans to fade out of the political arena, there are many things in the court, but he can't ask about it, Zhang Dian said, he can also take care of it. Money is tight, and you can't force it from the people, but you can continue to borrow a sum of money from the bank to turn over, and if it's worse, it's not better than owing more than 300 million at the beginning.

He was concerned with the second thing.

In recent years, the Ping'an Prison imported timber from the Wa Kingdom on a large scale, and if the great Song Dynasty had to use as much wood as a year, just to make ink, the pine trees in North China were cut down almost in a few decades. The amount of this wood used in the Wa country will have an amazing impact.

Buying on a large scale, bringing astonishing wealth to the Wa Kingdom, many nobles wore silk and satin, became richer and richer, and even bought luxurious ships from Song Dynasty merchants to travel to the Song Dynasty. Maybe there were some women in the boats, and some more were borrowed.

In this regard, the Song Dynasty did not ask.

For it, I haven't paid much attention to Goryeo, after all, Goryeo can rise up to contain the Khitan role.

This is the rich side.

However, as a result of the large-scale felling, the mountains and forests in many areas have become barren mountains and mountains, and the water and soil of the Japanese country are very weak, and in later generations, their forests occupy 70% of the country's area, and they have to import timber, and they are forced to cut down the water and soil from the country.

It's just that now the control of the royal family of the Wa Kingdom is weak, and the Song Dynasty has to buy it by forcible means, one is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer, who cares?

This has led to flash floods in many valleys, increased mudslides, and uninhabitable farming. A large number of people fled, a few fled to the sea, some to do business, some to fish, and some to become thieves.

Originally, it was the area around the Wa Kingdom, but as the scope of its activities expanded, it gradually extended to the Ryukyu and Zhoushan Islands.

The scourge was not great, only a few dozen ships drifted over. But gradually there is a tendency to spread, and although Zhang Dian is a Fujianese, he also does not know much about maritime affairs.

So he wrote a letter and asked Zheng Lang what to do. (To be continued......)
