Chapter 555: The Peace Faction

Yang Hui hurriedly ran towards Ningzhou, and when he ran to Ningzhou, he saw the second Lubu.

Lubu is written by Han Jiang himself, on which it is written that the armies of the East and West have won great victories one after another, killing at least 200,000 enemies.

The actual proportion of prisoners of war, including prisoners of war, was more than half, but most of the prisoners of war were not dispersed and repatriated. However, some of them will be repatriated, and some of the Hengshan areas that are about to be occupied Ding Zhuang, and the villages that were close to the Song Dynasty and rejected the Western Xia will be repatriated immediately, and as for the neutral ones, it depends on their attitude. As for those villages that were loyal to Western Xia, if they could reform themselves, they would immediately pledge their allegiance to the imperial court, and also send their Ding Zhuang back. The villages that are still stubborn will not change their minds, then you are welcome, and even their villages will be forcibly erased, so that the imperial court can rule this mountainous area in the future.

Those nobles and generals continued to screen out for interrogation, and those who honestly confessed, recorded confessions, signed and detained, left a "case record", and also released them, and gave some explanations to some peace-making bigwigs in the imperial court.

However, this number is not very accurate, mainly because Liu Changzuo has not yet counted carefully, and he will continue to capture prisoners of war on the way back, and even sweep some villages that have repeatedly invaded Huanzhou. When they returned to Suyuan Village and rested, they had to send troops to Mengmen Sancha and march towards Yanzhou, where they joined Wang Ju's army. A series of wars followed, including the sweep of some of the unruly tribes in the mountains. It's just not that big.

Therefore this is an approximate number jΓΉ.

There is also an even better news, after several battles, the Song army paid a total of nearly 70,000 war horses.

Horses have always been the biggest headache in the Song Dynasty. Take a look at the shepherds. Almost all of them are big guys. Xiao Song, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng, Wang Anshi......

Therefore, in the history of Xining's three years of herding judge Wang Zhi wrote, Jiayou six years ago, Qinzhou held coupons to buy horses, no less than fourteen or five thousand horses per year. In the seventh year of Jiayou, the imperial court bought the horse division in the original Weideshun Sanzhou Army (referring to Xue Xiang's purchase of the horse division), and all selected good horses and sold them at a high price. It can be bad, and there are many deaths and damages, and it is a waste of money. Please order Yuan Wei to buy 10,000 more horses every year, so that the ministers will be rewarded and pay for the price of the horses.

This memo contains several pieces of information, one is that Xue Xiang did buy many good horses in that horse political reform, and did not use secondary horses to fill them as before.

Second, this horse has not been raised, although it has been bought, many horses have not been raised. but died.

Sanxue Xiang used the salt solution as the price of the horse, but because of the impact of the green salt in the Western Xia. The effect was not great, so Wang Yu asked the court to pay for the horses.

Fourth, although Xue Xiang bought a lot of good horses after the reform of Ma Zheng, the cavalry was still strictly short of horses.

Of course, this is also related to Zhao Shu's several edicts, a good horse is only given 30 yuan, where to buy it? Even the number of horses bought is getting smaller and smaller, and only 17,100 horses are exchanged for salt in three years, and less than 8,000 horses a year.

Therefore, Zhao Ji issued an edict: the original Weizhou and Deshun armies have bought 30,000 horses since this three years, and the horse buying officials will be converted into one official at a rate of ten points, and the remaining three points and three cents will be third-class, and each additional grade will reduce the grinding and exploration for one year. A total of 100,000 silk was given to the three divisions and Chengdu Mansion and Zili Prefecture Sanlu, and the salt money in Shaanxi compensated for the price of horses.

This has become Zhang Juzheng's examination method, linking the number of horses bought with his political performance, and the more he buys, the greater the credit, and even 67 percent of the number of completed horses can be added to one official.

The horse gap in the Song Dynasty was too large.

Even if Wang Ju and Cai Ting get a large number of war horses, they cannot meet the needs of war horses in the Song Dynasty, and it can only be said that the scarcity of war horses will be slightly alleviated.

But Wang Ju did not plan to hand over these war horses to the imperial court, Huanqing Road lacked a horse breeding base, but Hedong Road and Fulin Road, Yanyan Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, and Qinfeng Road could draw out large and small grasslands.

Therefore, after the end of the two wars, Zhang Kai had already sent some people to secretly inspect these five areas, especially Qinfeng Road, the vast Weiyuan area, Wang Shao only developed one-third. And where the next war broke out, so Qinzhou was the focus of the investigation.

After the inspection, Wang Ju immediately handed over these war horses to the officers and soldiers from all walks of life, and handed them directly into the hands of the military, rather than the horse supervisors. That's what he thought when he was a teenager.

It's not good to raise it in the army, and Wang Ju can't help it.

But it is also one of the gains, if you include the wealth that Cai Ting stole from the Tiandu Mountain Palace, these two incomes alone are equivalent to a quarter of the cost of this war.

But if you don't see it, there's no way around it.

Yang Hui ran to Gyeongju in one go, and at this moment, the people in Gyeongju City were singing and dancing. But Yang Hui became more and more angry the more he looked at it, he came to the state office angrily again, and asked Zhang Qi when he split his face: "Didn't Wang Ju say that it was easy to negotiate peace, why did he fight again?" ”

Zhang Qi was very unhappy when he heard it, first, Yang Hui's tone of reproach made him very unhappy, and second, his praise also made Zhang Qi unhappy.

Isn't it just that you are a little more senior and have a higher official position, but with Wang Ju's current prestige, why should you call your name directly!

He was about to speak, when Han Jiang winked.

Zhang Qi has never served as a Beijing official, and he doesn't know how difficult Yang Hui is, but Han Jiang knows that this person is very difficult to mess with.

He took the initiative to answer for Zhang Qi: "Element, originally Zi'an sincerely wanted to negotiate peace with the Western Xia, not only released Song Ji and brought the peace letter, but later released most of the prisoners of war and the nobles of the Western Xia to express the sincerity of the peace. ”

Gao, Zhang Ji said in his heart, in fact, the group of nobles released back has begun to show up in poverty. And it is not to express the sincerity of peace, one is to continue to deliberately confuse the enemy, the second is to pit Song Ji, the third is to use the mouths of these people to convey several truths about the battle of Malingchuan and the battle of Tiandu Mountain to the people of the three roads of Western Xia, so that their morale will continue to be low, and the fourth is to let them be mixed in the army, and after the disadvantage appears, so that they can take the lead in surrendering.

But Han Jiang reversed the time, and the effect became the same.

Don't be reasonable, there is no reason to talk about it, the Xixia people booby-trapped and killed the security guard Yang Ding, what a humiliation, as the privy deputy envoy Shao Kang wrote that the heavenly financial resources are exhausted, and it is not appropriate to use troops, but they should be accepted by their will, and they will not obey their orders. The teacher is famous.

When is it time to disobey your fate? Killing Yang Ding doesn't count. I am afraid that sending troops to Gyeongju cannot be counted, but it is about to reach Chen Bing'an and endanger the safety of the Song Dynasty, so it can be regarded as disobedient.

So you can't fight, you can only caress ......

Guan Jian began to accept when he was Song Renzong, not only did he ignore the invasion of Pang without hiding it, but he also sent gold and silver every year, did it work?

Hence the problem. You said that you couldn't bear it, he said that the people's livelihood, you said that Western Xia had become weaker, and he said that there was still Khitan help, this reason can't be said.

Han Jiang didn't want to reason with this Yang Dacai, he continued: "However, Xixia just didn't listen, and wanted to plot against me Huanqing Erzhou, Elemental, could it be that in order to negotiate peace, split Huanqing Erzhou to Xixia?" ”

"This. This, this can be said slowly. Yang Hui said.

"yes. It can be said slowly, so Zi'an gave them two days to retreat, the Western Xia people still did not retreat, and Wang Zi'an still did not send an army to fight back. But on the third day, the Xixia people did not retreat, but they mobilized 7,000 soldiers and horses from Tiandu Mountain, first took Suyuan Village, and then tried to conquer Yonghe Village. Where is Yonghe Village, do you know? ”

Yang Hui had just arrived, and he really didn't know about this small village, so he shook his head.

"It's in front of Huanzhou, Yonghe Village is lost, and Huanzhou is very dangerous. Should our army fight back? ”

Yang Hui was speechless.

This is the benefit of Wang Ju's peace letter, no matter what, that is, if you want peace, I will take advantage of it.

Seeing that the situation was critical, the old man immediately ordered Yang Wenguang to come to support with the soldiers and horses of Yanzhou, and Cai Ting also sent troops to Tiandu Mountain, but it was actually not for Tiandu Mountain, otherwise Cai Ting would not have retreated with one blow. In fact, this was to force the Tanguts to withdraw their troops and go back. ”

Zhang Qi almost wanted to vomit when he heard it on the side, Yang Wenguang sent troops, was it Wang Ju's request?

Even so, the Western Xia people still did not retreat, on the contrary, the troops were concentrated, and the Western Route Army gathered in Xigu and Yonghe Zhai to try to take these two villages, and then tried to plot Huanzhou. The Eastern Route Army gathered in Rouyuan Village and Liyuan Fort, trying to take these two villages and make Dashun City an isolated city. Seeing that Xixia was hopeless, Wang Zi'an launched a counterattack. ”

Really...... Yang Hui was stupid when he heard it.

Zhang Qi was drinking tea and almost squirted out the tea.

Han Jiang fooled Yang Hui, that is also helpless, Yang Hui is a minister, he can hear about it, and he can impeach all ministers.

After this battle, there are many people who may oppose Wang Ju, most of them are probably because they are jealous of Wang Ju's great achievements, and they are just blushing for this credit, but the reason for the war is impeccable, it was the Western Xia people who invaded Gyeongju, not the Song Dynasty attacking the Western Xia, and the results of the war were also impeccable, all of them won so much, what else can be said? Could it be that the big defeat is the right one?

However, there are a very small number of Yan zhΓ²ng "pacifists", and they are unreasonable, including this Yang painting. Therefore, it has to be said that Yang Hui can't be picky, anyway, this guy doesn't understand military affairs, and he's not in the front, he doesn't understand and doesn't understand, he can fool ......

"That's it, the specific arrangement is Wang Zi'an, you go to Wang Zi'an."

"Where's Wang Ju?"

"He's on the front line, White Leopard City, you can ask him personally."

This person had to be sent away immediately, and now Gyeongju has a lot of secrets, especially the huge number of prisoners of war.

For prisoners of war, there are more people who oppose Wang Ju's approach, thinking that it is very unkind. The rest are mostly neutral. Only a very small number of people support it, such as Han Jiang.

These prisoners of war were sent back, picked up their weapons, and were soldiers again.

Just like some of the prisoners of war sent back last time, this time the Tanguts were gathered and placed in the army. And there are some who have been recaptured.

It can't be released, unless the Western Xia really wants to make peace with the Song Dynasty, but looking at the posture of the Western Xia, is it possible?

The crazy woman in the Xixia Palace was a lord who was not afraid of things.

These prisoners of war must not be discovered by Yang Hui, otherwise they will definitely be attacked when they return to the court.

Yang Hui hurriedly rode to White Leopard City.

Watching him leave, Zhang Qi asked, "Gong Han, this person will bring some trouble to Zi'an." ”

"Don't be afraid, the wicked must be grinded by the wicked." Han Jiang said.

If this kid goes to the front army, if he doesn't know each other, he can be killed by Wang Ju. What if you kill it, Wang Ju will immediately send troops to Yanzhou, and the entire army is in the enemy territory, God knows who killed Yang Hui.

"Alas, state affairs are so ......"

"Qianfu, you don't have to sigh, the main thing is that when Renzong was in power, he failed repeatedly, and the country was in decline, so the anti-war scholars and doctors accounted for the majority. However, from now on, there will be repeated victories and the country's finances are also improving, so there will be more and more scholars and doctors to support side affairs. ”

This also has the credit of Wang Anshi.

If it weren't for Wang Anshi's reforms, there would be no abundant finances, and if there is no money, how can he fight?

As for Wang Ju's early reduction of the forbidden army, Fangchang River crossing and cotton, Han Jiang didn't mention it again, besides, why did Wang Ju want so much credit? Is it possible to be a prime minister in his twenties?

In addition, Han Jiang also neglected the most important one, not that money can represent victory, someone must have the ability to turn money into the fruit of victory.

However, he also has some truth in saying that if it weren't for the three fiascos of Renzong's time, there wouldn't be so many Gou He factions.

Yang Hui went to Rouyuan Village in a simple manner, and the corpses of Rouyuan Village were buried together, but from Rouyuan Village to White Leopard City, the ground of the entire road was stained with blood.

"How many people has this killing god killed?" Yang Hui scolded bitterly in his heart.

When he came to White Leopard City, he saw only a few prisoners of war and a small number of Song troops, and he asked, "Where is Wang Ju?" ”

He came down as a lieutenant envoy, and the envoy of the Song Dynasty was the Qincha in the mouth of later generations. A soldier replied honestly: "Ming Gong has led his troops to Yanzhou." ”

"Ah," Yang Hui was startled, no, he couldn't let this kid continue, so he hurriedly got on the horse and continued to chase.

Chase and chase, and the sky will be dark.

Suddenly, from the mountains and forests in front of them, some mountain people dressed as local people appeared.

Yang Hui also brought several guards.

But the number of these mountain people reached more than 100 people, and each of them had weapons in their hands, and they surrounded Yang Hui and several people at once.

In this posture, does Yang Hui dare to order a few of his subordinates to resist? Besides, he was originally a pacifist in the first place, so he had the courage to ask: "Who are you who dare to surround this official!" ”

But he was mistaken, this official can scare the people of the Song Dynasty, but now the mountain people in this area do not belong to the people of the Song Dynasty.

Even the mountain people couldn't even understand the Song Dynasty dialect, but just chattered endlessly in the party language, and one of them pointed to Yang Hui's big red official uniform.

It's bad, Yang thought to herself.

The official uniforms of the Song Dynasty were very particular, divided into court uniforms, official uniforms and current uniforms. Yang Hui wore a public uniform, before Yuanfeng was restructured, the ninth to eighth grades were cyan public uniforms, the sixth and seventh grades were green, that is, the color of Wang Juzhu, the fourth and fifth grades were vermilion, and the third grade and above were purple. Han Jiang's color is purple.

But an official of four or five grades is already considered a high-ranking official.

The eyes of this group of people immediately let out light, pounced, and held down a few people with their hands and feet, and tied them up, probably because Wang Ju led the army north, this group of people was afraid of Wang Ju's retaliation, and blindfolded Yang Hui and several people with sweat towels that emitted a smell of moxie, and then pushed forward.
