Chapter 404: The Private Army (II)
The biggest advantage of Wang Anshi's Yifa is that Wang Shao has opened the border.
Wang Ju looked at the three generals again and said, "Don't you think Wang Shao is amazing?" ā
"It's remarkable, 120,000 accounts," Wang Jun said.
Wang Ju was speechless: "It's 120,000 accounts?" ā
"What else?"
This is the general situation between the Song Dynasty and Tubo now, the Tubo did not reject the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty did not reject the Tubo, and even many people thought that the other party was a good friend.
But Miao Zhu thought for a while and said: "In this way, the Western Xia people can no longer go south, no, they can still go south." If you want to stop them from going south, you must take Hezhou. ā
"What are you doing with Hezhou? The Tibetans are not easy to mess with. Wang Junwan immediately countered.
"Hezhou is now under the control of Mu Zheng, but he is only in control, and the people who really belong to him are not as many as this Bao Shun, if Bao Shun really has 120,000 accounts. The people of Hezhou do not reject our dynasty very much, and it is possible to take Hezhou. It's just that it will be very troublesome to take Huangzhou, it is too far away from our dynasty, the supply is difficult, and where is the base camp of Tubo. ā
"But why take Hezhou?"
Miao Zhu couldn't answer, was it just to block the Western Xia people from going south? So as long as the Song Dynasty expanded its sphere of influence to the Tao River, Western Xia could still go south, but it was not easy, or it was not worth it.
Yao Lin said: "Actually, Wang Shao got Yu Longke, which is also luck. The Western Xia pressed tightly, although Yu Zang Hua Ma fell to the Western Xia, but the Western Xia burned, killed and plundered, and the Qinzhou people who did not surrender to the Western Xia were easy to fall to our court. ā
That is, Western Xia did not go south, and the Song Dynasty in turn did not easily get the Xihe region, or Yu Longke.
But these three generals can't be blamed, they are not as good as Wang Shao in terms of strategy, and Wang Shao has traveled in the Xihe area for so many years, and he is not playing.
Now in the entire Song Dynasty, the understanding of the future strategy of Tubo is not good for anyone except Wang Shao and Wang Ju!
It is rare that Miao Zhi and Yao Lin can say these insights.
However, Wang Ju of Huangzhou does not want to do it for the time being, after all, Dong Yu is orthodox and quite popular, as long as Dong Yu is there, he will die of Huangzhou Cheng early.
But Wang Ju was thinking of another strategy in his heart, and when they finished speaking, he asked: "If you get Hezhou, from Weizhou, Qinzhou, and Hezhou to attack Lanhui Erzhou, what will be the situation?" ā
"Western Xia is in danger, no, the country is in a big war." Wang Jun Wandao. In history, the Song Dynasty only took Lanzhou, but did not take action against Huizhou, which has various reasons. But if you really take the entire Huizhou, then the Hexi Corridor will be cut off all at once, and it will be possible to connect with the Hexi Corridor from the Great Desert? In that case, Western Xia will be desperate.
However, it is definitely better to work hard in Lanzhou Huizhou than for the Song Dynasty army to step on the saline-alkali land of the desert Gobi and go to Lingzhou desperately.
But how to do it, Wang Ju still can't figure it out now. just asked casually: "If they work hard and lose Lanzhou and Huizhou, what will happen?" ā
"Western Xia is in danger." Yao Lin said.
"It's wrong, it's not dangerous, it's gone," Miao said. If the Song Dynasty really did this, the Western Xia would definitely mobilize the whole country to fight, but if it couldn't fight, the country was empty, and the Song Dynasty didn't do it?
"However, I don't want to do anything, sit back and see that Western Xia has not encroached on the Fanzi in the Guweicheng area, what will they do when the Fanzi are cornered?"
"I kind of get it," Miao said. Now that Tibet is divided, can Dong Yu save it once, and can it be saved twice? In that case, the Western Xia slowly extended its power to Taozhou, and the danger of the Song Dynasty came, and he said: "This Wang Shao is powerful. ā
Wang Ju smiled in his heart, thinking, at least a little more powerful than you.
"In this way, isn't the imperial court going to use troops in Hezhou?" Miao Zhu suddenly woke up.
"I don't know, it depends on the situation, the imperial court's finances still can't be slowed down, then it won't use soldiers, if it is relieved, it may use soldiers," Wang Ju said vaguely: "But I said it today, you can listen to it, don't leak it to the outside world." ā
"Don't worry."
"In case of soldiers, I will recommend a few of you to lead some Phang battalions to go there. Actually, when you talk about armor, I'm also thinking about this military system. If the forbidden army continues to develop like this, it is really overwhelmed......"
Wang Ju hesitated for a moment, and Zhao Ji started the policy of silting the fields, to see if he could successfully transfer the forbidden soldiers out of the city. To the north of Kaifeng is the Yellow River, but there is still some way to go from the lockdown.
If you can successfully transfer out, you can get away from that glitzy world. However, even if it is transferred, whether it can get better is still a big question mark, and it can only be said that the family of the forbidden soldier may have less burden.
Again, there is no need to say this.
"The imperial court used troops in the northwest, relying more and more on the Tibetan soldiers, the Tibetan soldiers are strong, but if the Han soldiers are not strong, it will not be a good thing in the end. Although the Baojie army in this area of Zhengbaiqu is not a border people, and the folk customs are not as strong as the border people, they are somewhat affected by the war, and unlike the border people, the actual imperial court has begun to pay attention to Tuntian, but most of them are archers in the nature of village soldiers, although the cost is provincial, and it is not a system in the end. There are also Phangks in the border areas, but they are scattered. With so many Baojie troops gathered within a radius of hundreds of miles, it is more convenient to assemble or train. That's why I value them as much. ā
"How much money will that cane sugar make?" Wang Junwan asked worriedly.
In fact, Wang Ju doesn't need to explain, since even the cavalry has thought of it, how can he not pay attention to it?
But the problem is now that it is both armor and cavalry, and the cost will be more.
Can that little gadget make so much money?
Wang Ju said vaguely, this time is slow and slow, but as long as the court agrees, the money and silk are about the same, and they will do it, that is, it will be fast, and it will be very fast.
"That's better than you think."
Zhao Du first rode a horse to Sichuan to see, and after seeing it, he took a boat to Liangzhejiang with a horse.
In his letter, he still insisted that Suining had the best sugar cane.
This can't be helped, just like the Chinese industry in later generations, no matter how good it is, it has become a spokesman for fake and shoddy cottages, and the natives don't believe it anymore, how can foreigners believe it?
The main thing is too far away, and Wang Ju doesn't know much, when he came to this world, he bought frosting two or three times, but he didn't eat sugarcane once, how to evaluate it?
But Zhao Du said more objectively, even if the sugarcane in Suining is better, then the sugarcane in Liangzhejiang is not worse than the sugarcane in Guangnan, and the cane sugar products made in Guangnan are welcome, why can't the sugarcane in Liangzhejiang?
In the letter, he also reflected a problem, not what everyone thinks, the sugarcane industry in Suining has shrunk, and the scale is not small, and the sugarcane industry in many areas in southern Sichuan is also considerable, and the problem is that there is a background to develop, and there is no background to eliminate.
It can only be said that after the rebellion of Zhang Shun and Wang Xiaobo, most of the cultivated land was distributed, and the annexation pressure of Bashu was less than that of Shaanxi and the Central Plains. There are many problems reflected, such as the imperial court is more difficult to tax Bashu, so it uses silk instead of grain to tax, and as a result, the price of silk rises when the government is in power, and even the people of Bashu will transport silk to the imperial court, because of the lack of silk, from Jingnan to Bashu will be transported upside down. Isn't this a waste of harshness?
It's a bit of a difficult problem to solve, it's not about the goods at all, it's about the currency...... Of course, Wang Ju will not have any ideas about currency now, and it is also very troublesome.
However, affected by the topography, the sugarcane industry in Bashu is not as good as that of Liangzhejiang, and this reason is the market. Chengdu Prefecture is densely populated, but the surrounding areas are not good, and the freight is high when it is shipped out. In addition to the high-priced frosting.
But there is no zĆ i problem on Liangzhejiang Road, a grand canal, you can transport it as you want, so it is not only frosting, but also one thing, sugarcane juice, and stone honey, candied fruit made of sugarcane sweat.
Therefore, the scale of sugarcane planting in Liangzhejiang is far better than that of Bashu, so Zhao Dujian yƬ, temporarily give up Bashu, far away, not easy to manage, high freight, high cost. Then Ge Shaohua took care of the sugarcane in Guangnan, and he was in charge of the sugarcane in Liangzhejiang. The cost method is still the same as that of kapok, which is paid in advance by the officials of the two Zhejiang provinces, and the income from the inner treasury is repaid to the three divisions, which also saves a lot of money.
Anyway, after this kind of joint venture, Wang Ju handed over sixty percent of the income to the inner storage warehouse, which is equivalent to the inner storage industry.
Zhao also agreed.
However, after Wang Ju received the letter, he replied to another letter, deliberately saying that this sales channel was not only the Song Dynasty and the surrounding areas of the Song Dynasty, but also the idea to hit the city ship, especially the Hangzhou City Ship, there were many ships to deal with the Japanese Goryeo, and the Japanese side seemed to produce silver, so they could trade with these maritime merchants.
At the moment, we will not worry about sales, but in the future, we will expand sales channels so as to increase profits, and the other is technical secrecy. Leak out, the businessman makes money, that's just money, what can be done?
Therefore, the profit of this cane sugar will not be small, not the sugarcane planted by a few merchants in Yanzhou in Guangnan, but all the sugarcane in Guangnan East Road and Liangzhejiang Road, as long as two or three percent can be purchased, the output is also amazing.
And unlike shochu, the market is limited, and the taste is not very accustomed, so the profit cannot keep up. It starts with a lot of profits.
However, there is one thing, Wang Ju wants to go to Beijing to explain.
That is the equalization method, it seems that this equalization method is opposed by most people, which is equivalent to not being implemented, or a part of the implementation, but most of this cotton Wang Anshi wants to implement, it is not the people's industry, but the inner treasury and the three divisions of the industry, and the businessmen have no right to interfere.
Then eight or nine out of ten Wang Anshi will also let the shipping department operate, which will definitely not work, maybe you can miss the good time of profiteering in the past few years.
But this specific, Wang Ju doesn't need to say it.
"Look, it seems that soon, I may enter the capital to take up a post, if the finances are well-off, I will ask the official family to first overdraft some money from the third division, and then advance from the inner treasury, and first equip the weapons and equipment. Armor, that will be equal to the beginning of spring next year. And even next year, it may not be possible to equip the armor neatly. However, equipment is only a part, and when I was in Huachi, although I attached great importance to equipment, I paid more attention to training rather than equipment. ā
"Zi'an, don't worry, these ninety battalions of Baojie will be handed over to us." Wang Jun Wandao.
"Zi'an, it would be nice if you came to lead the army," Yao Lin said.
What he said was not to let Wang Ju personally take charge of the army, or to know the state on the side road, if he used troops, it would be the four-sided road. Cai Ting's ability is undoubted, Dashun City is flattened, and the Western Xia people are flattened again in Huluhe. But after this flattening, the Tangut people were also dead set on Cai Ting. At most, it is a small-scale conflict, so it has nothing to do with Cai Ting.
The use of troops must be the other three ways. Guo Kui is a military general, but a military general may not be reliable, isn't Ge Huaimin a military general? That Wang Shao seems to be good, but he didn't fight a battle, and if he really fought, God knows if it will work?
As for Li Fugui, no one dares to believe it.
If you can't be brave, you must also have a good command from the commander in order to make contributions.
In the Qingli War, many soldiers were still very good, but they all let the commander die.
In fact, Sima Guang said that Wang Ju raised private soldiers, which is definitely not true, he can't afford to raise it, and Wang Ju will not have that kind of thought.
What he did was nothing more than to strengthen the army, even if he bought ploughing cattle, or for the sake of strengthening the army, the family in the rear would not have to worry about it, and the combat effectiveness could be improved, wouldn't it be a strong army?
But it is precisely because of what he has done, as well as his legendary growth experience, that many soldiers have relied on and worshipped him, and blindly trusted, such as the armor of the new Baojie Army, which seems to be a very unreasonable request, and now it seems to be realized.
It seems to be omnipotent, even if Miao teaches, he also has a mind of dependence.
As long as Wang Ju does not rebel, it can be said that these dozens of battalions of Baojie Army, Wang Ju ascended to the heights, and at least eighty percent of the soldiers would echo.
did not raise private soldiers, but they were equivalent to private soldiers, and many barracks inadvertently left a deep imprint on Wang Ju.
Therefore, what Sima Guang said was not at all reasonable, but he didn't understand, so he couldn't say it very clearly. Even after the art of war came out in the future, the soldiers were asked to be single-minded, what did it do?
"I want to too." Wang Judao.
He didn't know what he was saying in this sentence, and he could arrange it, and Wang Ju was waiting for the imperial court to get rid of it.
Soon to get rid of it.
The Shaanxi Yingtian envoy was dropped, but two official positions were regained. One is Tianzhang Pavilion to be made.
At that time, when the imperial court issued this order, Fan Chunren expressed his opposition. It's not enough for Zheng Baiqu to take credit, as for the credit for the battle of Dashun City, is that a credit? Not impeached is a good thing!
I think how long did he mix it up before he got a Tianzhang Pavilion to be made, so Fan Chunren was not convinced.
At this time, Zhao Ji had a good impression of Fan Chunren, so he said: "If Qing has the merit of Wang Ju, I will let you enter the two mansions." ā
A very strange sentence, Fu Bi immediately said unhappily: "Your Majesty, you have no jokes, the two governments are national governments, and Your Majesty can't joke about them." ā
Zhao Ji said: "Fu Qing's words are reasonable, but Fan Qing, you don't know the inside story, I gave Wang Qing this position, which has little to do with Zheng Baiqu, let alone the success of Dashun City, but others." Specifically, you ask Zeng Xianggong. ā
Speaking of the change, in fact, to be precise, the curtain was opened in the spring of the fourth year of Zhiping, starting from the reduction of the number of imperial examinations, and then the reduction of troops, the two-eight-point system, the Fangchang River crossing, and the kapok, these merits add up, not to mention that Tianzhang Pavilion is to be systematized, if you are old enough, you are also qualified to serve as a bachelor of Hanlin.
In fact, for this museum official, Wang Ju also accepted it calmly.
But the following bad officials made Wang Juju hurt, but it was a bad official who made many people blush, and the regulations of the three divisions were set up to inspect the detailed text! R1152
