At the end of the year, the Liao State asked the officials of Zhuozhou to move to Xiongzhou, and the text said that the Xia State came to say that the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty were nameless, and there was no accident, so please enjoy the joy of the two countries and look for the old good.

Overall, Xiao Feng's eldest brother Yelu Hongji's reaction ability is quite sluggish.

There is also a relationship with a long distance.

Therefore, he had just gotten the unfavorable situation in Western Xia, so he came to "mediate".

Zhao Ji reported that the lord of Xia was knighted by the Song Dynasty, and yesterday the ministers said that they were often imprisoned for the mother party, and they asked about the incident than the order, and did not report the same evil, and then led tens of thousands of troops to commit my side, and they should be requisitioned. Now that he has been defeated repeatedly, he has sent his treachery to reveal his feelings, and he must have noticed it.

Don't take this reward seriously.

And the Liao State also began to pay attention at this time, and got the news of the fiasco of the Song Dynasty's five-way army.

Anyway, your Song Dynasty can't destroy the Western Xia, so let's fight. The more lively the game, the happier we are.

So there was no more talk.

However, Zhao Ji couldn't swallow this evil breath.

Although this time the Xia was defeated, it also turned Western Xia into rubble, so after Li Xian retreated to Lanzhou, he did not retreat again. In addition, the Song Dynasty's previous operations in the Deshun Army and Zhenrong Army, as well as the forts built by the Western Xia in Huizhou, Quwu Mountain and Tiandu Mountain, were all destroyed by Li Xian. So Li Xian Zhengyue proposed in a letter that on this basis, send the army to build a fort and push it all the way to Tiandu Mountain, Xiaoguan, and even Xiaoguan as the basis, plus the Hulu River can be transported by boat, all the way to Mingsha City, which directly threatens the safety of Lingzhou.

In fact, this strategy was applied by the Northern Song Dynasty in the future, and Huizhou Prefecture, Xi'an Prefecture (Tiandu Mountain area) and Huaide Army were successively obtained from the Western Xia. Although it was not pushed to Mingsha City, Xiao Guan took it back. It even directly threatened the Western Xia's rule over several states in the Hexi Corridor. And then...... The golden man is coming.

However, he also proposed in the book. The main stakes for both sides are in the desert. Therefore, the center of gravity of the Song Dynasty should be to manage the mountain boundary (referring to Dongheng Mountain). It can't be said that the seed is wrong. If he gets this Donghengshan, then there is no need for his East Second Route army to fight all the way from Yinzhou to Shizhou, Xiazhou, and Youzhou. It can directly cross the Hengshan Mountains and attack several states, even Yanzhou. And the food supply can also be transported directly from Hengshan to the front line, so the tragedy of the collapse of the three armies in Yanzhou due to insufficient supply?

Just because of the battle of Yongle City, it can't be said that the planting strategy is wrong.

In fact, the two strategies are similar, both are medium-sized shallow attack tactics.

Can it be executed well? It's time for the Lord to ......

However, due to the loss of troops and the consumption of a large amount of financial materials this time, the Song Dynasty could only consider all the way.

Either a shallow attack from the southwest, or a shallow attack from the northeast.

So the imperial court sent Xu Xi to inspect the matter in May.

However, because of Wang Ju's appearance and Han Yun's prompt, an extremely important issue was revealed in front of everyone, that is, the impact of the commander's ability on the victory or defeat of the war.

So Zhao Ji was thinking in his heart, he was very capable of fighting, Xu Xi was full of military books, and the cooperation between the two should not be bad......

The other side. Because of the unruliness of the seafarers, it also made Zhao Ji feel a little unhappy.

Spring has arrived.

The ships on the other side returned one after another.

The extremely arrogant seaman Wu Nan came directly to the capital. Then report to the imperial court that the promised gold from the other side will soon be transported to the capital.

Last year's war, although the Song Dynasty suffered heavy losses, but because the inner treasury and the treasury reserved a large amount of money, the southeast corner of the capital storage area was full of countless grains and grass, so the Song Dynasty did not have a financial crisis.

However, after this battle, the reserves were reduced by more than half.

If you really take the Western Xia, don't say half of it, it's all used up, and Zhao Ji is not heartbroken, did Guan Jian take the Western Xia?

In fact, it can't be said to be useless, although this battle was defeated very badly, but it greatly consumed the power of Western Xia, not only that, but also got the West Envoy City area, Lanzhou and Niche Valley, and the northeast side also got important military villages such as rice fat and Futu.

It's just that the price paid is too great compared to these gains.

Therefore, this gold is even more important to the current Song Dynasty.

Zhao Ji sent a lieutenant envoy to verbally commend Wu Nan. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that Wu Nan beat Zhou Xun and the officials last year, and directly detained Zhou Xun for more than ten days, maybe Zhao Wei would have given Wu Nan a knighthood.

However, Wu Nan will not care about this official position, unless it is really given to a high-ranking bad official, but that is impossible.

Then wait for the gold.

However, Wu Nan sent many people to Shaanxi, you come to the capital quickly, I hired many big ships in the capital, pulled you directly to Hangzhou, and took you to the other side after the autumn, the other side is very beautiful, and Shaobao is on the other side.

What, you are a widow with two children and cannot go to the other side to survive. You are wrong to think so, you know how expensive perfume is, do you know how perfume is made? Can you afford to raise flowers and pick flowers? If you can afford it, let's go.

You must know that in last year's battle, the casualties of the soldiers may be less or barely close to forty percent, but the casualties of the people are almost more than fifty percent!

These people are the pillars of the family, and if they die in a foreign land, the family will be scattered.

Although the imperial court also gave some bereavement benefits, but how many bereavements could be given after so many people died, and there were also officials and generals above who had to deduct some of them.

Moreover, Wang Ju has great prestige in Shaanxi, especially in the Huanqing Road area.

Hearing this news, countless people in Shaanxi rushed to Guanzhong with simple Li Xing's dry food, and then rushed to the capital from Tongguan.

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was shocked.

If there is no force from the Western Xia, let's go, maybe we can protect the deteriorating water and soil.

However, there is a Western Xia on the side, and these people have left together, who will escort the grain and grass and guard the border defense in the future?

Zhao Ji had no choice but to summon Wu Nan to the palace in person to question.

Wu Nan said: "Your Majesty, the two lieutenant envoys went to Fengzhou to bring the news of last year's fiasco. Shaobao found the minister and said to the minister, because of the harm of Western Xia, Shaanxi Road was originally the best area at the beginning of the founding of our dynasty, but now it has become the most difficult area. The people were miserable. Last year was a fiasco. The people of Shaanxi Road are even worse. Therefore, he told the ministers to try their best to relocate the people of Shaanxi Road to the other side to settle down, especially the families of the martyrs. ”

"Wang Qing ordered?"

"Your Majesty, it is exactly, the people arranged by the ministers are also instructed to be mainly the families of the martyrs, they are all a group of orphans and widows, and they do not help the border defense in any way. On the contrary, it is the burden of the state. In fact, it will cost us more to move them, and it will be more difficult to settle them in the future. ”

"Wu Nan, I promised you that you are allowed to relocate 35,000 families every year, but how many migrated last year? The city's shipping department reported that it might be twice the agreed amount. ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't want to do anything, they have migrated a lot, and the ministers also have great pressure. But the people begged bitterly, and winter came. As soon as the ministers left, these poor people could not guarantee food and clothing. In the end, he took them to the other side together. ”

Zhao Ji didn't want to say any more.

Let's settle for it, anyway, the rate of increase in the number of people every year is very amazing. As for the pressure to resettle the people, it has nothing to do with me.

In fact, he was really misled by Wang Ju, of course, the resettlement of the people will bring some financial expenditures, but these resettlement expenses are loans, not free payments.

This is also what Wang Ju has paid attention to again and again, promoting Mien, fighting Mi Qiu.

All of them were given for free, but it made some people have terrible thoughts that they took for granted.

Therefore, although there is fiscal expenditure, it is not too large, and it is a big deal that there are some drawbacks of fiscal delay.

In addition, all walks of life on the other side have begun to have some scales, such as these women and children, the reason why they talk about raising flowers and picking flowers is just to make it easier for them to understand. In fact, in addition to this flower industry, there are many processing industries and service industries with light labor.

Coupled with Guangmo's living space, not to mention 35,000 households a year, it is given to 200,000 households a year, and there is also a way to settle it there.

The reason why I say 35,000 households is just to give everyone a reassurance...... The capabilities of the other side are still limited. Save yourself from being remembered.

Zhao Ji thought for a moment and then said, "I have allowed you to migrate, but these people must be settled by me." ”

"Whoa."

"Also, Shaanxi Road is the key point of the Great Song Dynasty, I allow you to relocate the families of the martyrs, but ordinary people are not allowed to relocate."

"After the minister leaves the palace, he immediately goes to instruct his subordinates."

"The two envoys met Wang Qing?"

"See."

"What did Wang Qing say?"

"Your Majesty, this is not something that a minister can ask."

Wu Nan stepped back.

But the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, it must have been someone chewing his tongue.

So on the evening of the third day, he took a few people to block Sun Gu, who was on duty, and asked: "Sun Xianggong, Shao Bao killed people in Jiaozhi, you said he was a butcher, Shao Bao killed people in Shaanxi, you also said that he was a butcher, and tried every means to return the prisoners of war to Western Xia." Now that the Western Xia has killed 500,000 soldiers and civilians of our Great Song Dynasty, I don't know how Sun Xianggong feels? ”

Sun Gu's house is not far from Xuande Gate, so it belongs to a prosperous area.

As soon as Wu Nan blocked it, many people came over to watch.

After hearing this, they shouted together, good question, good question.

Wu Nan asked again: "It's that Shao Bao had an affair with the eldest princess, how did you find out such a confidential news, do you have a group of scouts who are even more powerful than the Imperial City Division?" ”

In fact, some people have already thought so, but no one asks so directly.

Well said, well said, and some people echoed it.

If Wang Ju was not forced away, would he have suffered such a fiasco?

"The people who have made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty have been forced away one by one, Di Qing was forced to die of a back gangrene attack, Wang Shao was forced to die of a back gangrene attack, Shao Bao was forced to go overseas, Sun Xianggong, aren't you very happy?"

Sun Gu was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick.

But he didn't dare to speak, this guy was very rude, last year he held Zhou Xun down and beat him, and he was imprisoned for more than ten days before he put down the boat.

If you are beaten violently in front of so many people, your face will be humiliated.

However, his subordinates were also alert, and when many people came to see the excitement, they quietly slipped away and went to Kaifeng Mansion to report the case.

Wu Nan didn't notice it, and said to everyone: "People who have made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty have ended up like this, but those who have no merit to the Great Song Dynasty and do nothing, because they can use some small means, but they can always be prosperous and rich, isn't it weird." Just a few people have the means, and 500,000 men will break their souls. What kind of world is this? ”

Well, well said.

Hundreds of people applauded.

"Sun Xianggong, 500,000 good men died because you forced Shaobao away, so many people died, so many families broke up, but you stayed in the phase unharmed, let me ask you, do you ask yourself and feel ashamed?"

"People are prime ministers, it's too late to be happy, what is there to be ashamed of, this strong man, you are too worried." Someone chimed in.

Some of the other people laughed, some scolded, and one of them, who might also be a victim of the battle, cried in the crowd.

Yin Wangcun of Kaifeng Mansion came over with a servant and questioned Wu Nan.

Wu Nan asked: "Wang Fu Yin, I heard that you have always been self-respecting with self-respect, can you answer me, where did I ask wrong?" ”

Wang Cun has a generous personality and is clean and honest, so he originally had a good relationship with Wang Anshi, but after Xining changed the law, he was not very happy with Wang Anshi's various changes, so there was no mutual contact.

But he himself was a moderate new party minister.

Therefore, from the bottom of my heart, I look down on the behavior of Sun Gu and others.

Wang Ju said that Xue Xiang and Wang Shao were the two Great Walls of Xining, but in Wang Cun's heart, he believed that Wang Ju was the real Great Wall of the Song Dynasty economically and militarily. is Qi Shang Tax, and he also supports it, at least it is stronger than the sad Qingmiao Loan.

However, it was forced away, don't look at the imperial court sent an envoy to invite Wang Ju back, can you please come back?

Why do you come back, let these people be humiliated again.

So this Great Wall, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty anymore.

So he said gently: "Wu Zhuangshi, Sun Gong is the prime minister after all, it is not right for you to stop him on the street, let's disperse quickly." ”

"Wang Zhengzhong, how did you let them go?" Sun Gu said angrily.

"Sun Gong, do you really not know the consequences of executing him?" Wang Cun asked rhetorically. (To be continued.) )
