Chapter 697: Mangzhong
"Wu Gong?" Yan Da asked strangely, and then stopped talking.
If Wu Chong was to make trouble, Guo Kui would definitely hesitate, and the military generals in the Song Dynasty were not worth much, even if he once served as the deputy minister of the Western Mansion.
However, Wang Ju was a scholar and a minister, so it was inconvenient for Wu Chong to say it publicly, so he notified Wang Ju of this matter in the form of an edict.
Qiong Niang asked: "Will the Wu Guild transfer Xiong Gong's soldiers and horses to Luzhou?" ”
"This will not happen, the Lushan Jiangnan area is mountainous and forested, and it is difficult for the Fan Rider to play a role. If it only refers to the 5,000 Sichuan soldiers, they can be drawn from other regions. Besides, Xiong Gong's troops are now ready to go in Yazhou, one in the south of Luzhou, the other in the west of Chengdu Mansion, and the two are far apart. Wu Gong had this intention, and he was not allowed to pass it in the two prefectures. ”
Yan Da suddenly asked: "Do Wu Gong and Shao Bao have a grudge?" ”
Wang Ju shook his head.
If Lu Gong's book is about the same, as for Feng Jing and Wu Chong, Wang Ju has any grievances with them, at most there is a slight dispute, but isn't this very normal?
Yan Da finally thought of it: "Wu Gong opposes the use of troops in the south? ”
"Probably."
In fact, Wang Ju doesn't care, if this happens early, the ministers who oppose Kaibian Dali can still use this as an excuse to obstruct themselves. But now that the arrow is on the line, even Kumamoto's soldiers and horses are about to set off. With what to oppose?
Is it the heavy casualties of the troops?
Is there a revolt everywhere and a quagmire?
Spend a lot of money, do you work hard?
No, and a big victory is in sight, how to obstruct it.
Wang Ju is worried about pacifying Dali. He returned to the court. will face trouble. After all, Wu Chong is now in a high position. is no less than Wang Anshi back then.
But Wang Ju was too worried.
The edict was indeed sent by Wu Chong to Wang Ju, and in essence, Wu Chong did not have a big interest in the south of the open border. Wouldn't it be nice before, what if you were dragged down by Nanzhao like in the Tang Dynasty?
However, Wang Jujie won every victory, Zhao Ji was good, and Wu Chong was not easy to say. But at this time, the court encountered a big trouble, and after receiving Wang Ju Songshu, everyone knew that Dali could basically recover. Originally, everyone would not have doubted Wang Ju's use of troops, and besides, Dali himself was still engaged in usurpation and splitting, how could he be Wang Ju's opponent.
Therefore, according to the information and map sent by Wang Ju, Dali is divided into three prefectures, and there is no doubt that the city of Shanxian and Dali City have been placed, and the third city of Dali, Jianchang Mansion, also retains the arrangement of the house, and the rest is divided into fifteen states, seven armies, and fifty-five counties, a number of prefectures, and the prefectures do not ask, which will wait for Wang Ju to calm down Dali, in order to know the number of prefectures. But no more, no less, anyway, there is no need for the court to appoint officials.
But it's these prefectures, prefectures, and counties. The number of rogue officials to be appointed is also extremely large.
And Dali has recently recovered, and the requirements for the morality and ability of officials are extra strict, so so many officials have made Wu Chong's head swollen.
The most important thing for Wu Chong, many officials are reluctant to go to Dali, which is not like Jiaozhi, although it is also remote, and the weather is very hot, but where a large number of inland Han people have migrated to farm, it is easy to govern.
But how many Han Chinese are there in Dali?
They are all barbarians, I heard that these barbarians are still very fierce, you stab me with a knife at every turn, I will stab you, how to govern such an area?
So just after receiving the news of the rebellion in the return state, Wu Chong was not angry, so he asked the officials to write down the original story and send it to Wang Ju.
However, not long after the edict was issued, Wu Chong fell seriously ill and died.
The man died, and the demon moth came out together.
Guo Kui made a mistake, first demoted the official, Zhao Kui's anger has not yet dissipated, so he simply let Guo Kui spare Luoyang, and sent an envoy to ask Guo Kui, why are you swaying in Yongzhou, and swaying on the bank of the Fuliang River, and do not let Yanda and Miao Lu cross the river with victory.
It doesn't count if it's said, it has to be done.
Yan Da was the second main general in Wang Ju's southward use of the army, which shows that Wang Ju attaches great importance to Yan Da, but Yan Da's performance is really good. Not only is the use of troops powerful, but now the main army of Guangnan is almost trained by Yanda, although the actual combat training is quite controversial.
Guo Kui was forced to have no choice, so he vaguely said one thing this year, it was Wu Gong who wrote me a letter, and the letter said that it is better to save money for a long time in Annan.
Wu Chong made up this sentence, what should I do?
It just so happened that Wu Chong died, and Zhao Ji was not easy to pursue.
Then in history, Wu Chong's grandson Wu Chu and Wu Yu had dealings with the "immortal" Zhang Huai, and they all sat to death, so when Cai Tiao recorded this incident in "Tiewei Mountain Cong Talk", he wrote a sentence vaguely: Gai Kui Cheng looked at the minister's will, and he was killed because of it. Before the matter is finished, Prime Minister Wu Cheng will be in place with a disease and will not be cured. In the next 30 years, at the beginning of the grand view, the second grandson of Prime Minister Wu Cheng was called the prince and the concubine, and they all sat down to death because they had a conspiracy with the demon Zhang Huai. For a while, those who knew it were called the Battle of Annam, and the clouds were reported by the sky. Alack! The deacons, the counsellors of the Lord and the State, are not careful! Don't quit!
It means that if it weren't for Wu Chong's selfishness, Guo Kui would have been shaken, how could there have been those two swings, and without those two swings, there would not have been a large-scale malaria infection in the army, so many soldiers and civilians would have died, and Jiaozhi would not have been allowed to continue to go unpunished.
So retribution is coming, retribution to your grandson!
Of course, now Wang Ju has not heard Wu Chong's words, and he doesn't even know that Wu Chong has died of illness.
So ask Yanda again in order to learn more about the situation, is it really possible to stay in the south for the rest of your life?
Although he still didn't ask anything, he probably concluded that Wu Chong was dissatisfied with his use of troops in Dali. Hence the long piece written.
Let's talk about the first thing in the play, Li Si said that there are many people who have heard of the vast land, and those who are large are numerous, and the soldiers are brave. It is Mount Tai that does not let the soil, so it can become big; The river and the sea do not choose a trickle, so they can be deep; The king is not only the people, so he can understand his virtue.
A hill can easily be blown up with gunpowder, but can it blow up Tarzan? A small river can easily block it, but can it block the Yangtze River? Just like the Jiaozhi Li Dynasty, one, two, three annihilated in the long river of history. Although the country is small, it is easy to govern, but can it last for a long time?
This statement is also incorrect, because when science and technology have advanced to a certain point, the Three Gorges Project will still be built on the Yangtze River. But for the Song Dynasty. It was a thought that the Yangtze River was blocked.
But this meaning is still correct. When the country is big, it will inevitably be difficult to govern, but the comprehensive strength is undoubtedly stronger, and it is more durable, just like in later generations, no matter what the great powers want to carve up China, whether they will carve it up or not, if it is not for Cixi, an old demon woman. Even semi-colonial lands will not be gained, but on the contrary, these powers will be bogged down in heavy quagmire warfare. If the country was not big, the invasion of the Japanese would have been successful. If the country was not big, it would have been subverted by US imperialism long ago. Think about the fate of the small countries in the Middle East.
Besides, the price of getting Dali is not high.
The second thing is that this return is barbaric, and I hope that the imperial court will solve it as soon as possible.
Why, to the west of it is Yixi and other barbarian tribes, although some areas have implemented land reform and reversion, but many areas have to continue to be restrained because of time constraints. Including this Yixi Department.
Wang Ju operates here in order to keep an unimpeded passage between Dali and Bashu in the future. However, there are fettered areas on the left and right, so this passage is actually very narrow.
The importance of the passage is that there may be a large number of copper deposits here in the future, and a copper mine has already been explored.
The second is business and trade exchanges.
The third is that the military can communicate with each other, and letters and messages can be delivered quickly. Just like this edict, if this passage is not opened, then it will take at least half a month late to be delivered to Wang Ju. Even his contact with Kumamoto has become difficult.
If you let the return man unite with Yixi and other departments, this passage will be cut off at any time, and Dali will become a lonely overseas place if it is not done well.
However, this time when the soldiers returned, they must inquire about the news, plan and then move, it is definitely not possible to use troops like Wang Xuan, eight hundred against six thousand, or rush to the battle, how can they not be defeated? And being able to gather 6,000 soldiers and horses shows that returning is quite practical and cannot be underestimated.
It is not only necessary to use troops immediately, but also to deter them fiercely, otherwise even if Dali is pacified, the Luzhou area will still be in turmoil.
The third thing is to talk about governance, the root cause of the turmoil is not ordinary barbarians, in fact, many barbarian areas ordinary barbarians are more pitiful than the Han people, they are not people, but slaves, the real root is these barbarian leaders, so we have to find a way to change the land and return to the stream. For example, this rebellion is a great time to renew the land. If the land is changed and the river is returned, its realm will be peaceful.
And now there is one of the best places to observe, Wang Ju has implemented land reform and return to the river in many barbarian areas of Guangnan West Road, so that the capital can send inspection officials down to see the changes and the living conditions of the people, and you can see how the effect is.
Then send the song away.
The two armies suddenly became very calm.
"Da Yuxin (Emperor), the Song army sent all the troops and horses from Muzhou to the south, kill Haoqiang, and distribute land." Scout reports.
"Thirty thousand soldiers and horses were divided, as well as the tens of thousands of Song troops who originally attacked Xiushan City, and they were also killing Haoqiang, distributing land, and gradually moving to the direction of Zining Mansion."
"Let's go down." Yang Yizhen looked at the map and said.
Wang Ju's change of land is no longer a secret, and once made Yang Yizhen feel very envious, in the past, Dali's various departments were strong, but also became a disadvantage of Dali's governance, only like Wang Ju, can we really govern Dali in the future.
But he can't learn it, Wang Ju is an outsider and can do this, while the Yang family is a local hero, which involves more causal lines (referring to interest relationships), if he does this, even if the environment permits, it can only cause greater resistance.
Now is an opportunity, the heroes of the various departments have brought Ding Zhuang to support the two families, and the soldiers and heroes who support the Gao family are either killed by Wang Ju or imprisoned, and the troops in various places are empty, and it is a good time to change the land and return to the stream.
So Wang Ju asked Yao Lin to take 30,000 soldiers and horses, and found some people from the prisoners of war to be guides, and let the rest of the prisoners of war work together as people's husbands, escorting grain and grass, and promised to release them to go home after the escort of grain and grass, and there is also a certain amount of subsidies.
Of course, these are just ordinary soldiers, and the generals of the various armies continue to be imprisoned. And the grain and grass were escorted by soldiers from the Luodian area, who were in charge of supervising.
Although the strength of the 30,000 army is strong, the daily consumption is staggering.
Yao Lin took 30,000 soldiers and horses and slowly moved south.
Yang Yizhen breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, even if the Gao family summoned many soldiers and horses to come over, there were still some resistance forces in various places, and the area of Dali was too large, even if there was a Weichu Mansion and the Most Ning Mansion, Wang Ju would not be able to really change the land and return to the stream if he didn't toss for three or four months.
However, because of the separation of two powerful forces, the Song army could not pose a threat to him for the time being.
He was inquiring about Song Jun's news, and Wang Ju was also inquiring about his news.
Yang Yizhen was not willing to be captured. It just so happens that Dali has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. So Yang Yizhen took out this wealth. He continued to recruit a large number of soldiers from the rear, and under his generous reward, various departments of Yongchang Prefecture, including those of the Yongchang Prefecture, which favored the Gao family, successively sent a large number of soldiers.
Wang Ju heard it and expressed pain in his flesh.
The wealth in Dali City is all money, and what he lacks most now is the economy, but now Yang Yizhen has been ruined.
Miao Lu was a little amused when he saw Wang Ju's expression, because this plan was formulated by Wang Ju, no. How did Yao Lin turn around and quickly enter the territory of Yongchang Mansion? In the future, how to smoothly implement the land reform and return to the river in Yongchang Prefecture?
But he didn't know how much pressure this economy brought to Wang Ju.
And it also brought heavy pressure to Zhang Dian, Wang Ju lacked economy, and also lacked grain and grass.
In addition to the grain being transported from Guangnan step by step, the harvest of dry season rice in Jiaozhi coincided, so Wang Ju asked Zhang Dian for support.
What to do, Zhang Dian had no choice but to mobilize the people to use the convenience of the Fuliang River to transport the grain and grass to Dali.
Guan Jian is in the territory of Jiaozhi, not as those ministers in the court think. There are still many people who continue to turn into robbers and plunder everywhere. But these people have not been doing evil for long. As long as the battle of Dali City is over, Wang Ju will not need so many troops, and in order to eat, he will transfer many troops to Jiaozhi!
Time passed.
Wang Ju's Eastern Route Army had completely withdrawn from the boundary between Shanxian Mansion and Xiushan County and moved to Jining Mansion, which also meant that they were even more remote from the main battlefield.
Yao Lin's soldiers and horses were also fighting hard between Ailao Mountain and Wuliang Mountain.
Or at this time, he can comprehend Yanda's mood at the beginning, almost all of them are places with mountains and forests!
Mangzhong came unconsciously.
The ancients had the wisdom of the ancients, especially the twenty-four seasons, such as the beginning of spring, which is the beginning of spring. Rain means more rainfall. The sting is the spring thunder that wakes up the dormant hibernating animals. The vernal equinox represents the same time as day and night, and from this day onwards the daylight hours begin to get longer. Qingming means that the weather is sunny and the vegetation is luxuriant. Grain rain means that there is enough rainfall for cereal crops to thrive. The ancients said that the wind and rain are smooth, which means this, when it should rain, it rains, and when it is sunny, the sky is fine. If there is a lot of rain in Qingming and the rain in the valley, the rain will be sunny every day, and this year's summer harvest will be over.
The beginning of summer is the beginning of summer, Xiaoman means that the wheat seed material begins to be full, and the miscanthus seed is the maturity of wheat crops with miscanthus.
Miscanthus seeds, harvest season!
But this time the mango planting has nothing to do with the harvest, because the twenties and forties in Dali are completely different from the Central Plains.
It is just a code name for an action plan.
When it came to Mangzhong, the three-way army acted in unison.
"It's been so long, and it's finally come to an end." Yao Xiong said.
In fact, if you don't use soldiers, the scenery of Wuliang Mountain is still good, maybe there is a statue of a fairy sister in a cave......
But with the use of troops, it is undoubtedly very difficult in this terrain, especially in many mountainous areas, even the original Dali, can not be directly governed, of course, these tribes do not listen to the transfer of the Gao Yang family, so each department retains a certain strength.
After more than 20 days of using troops, although many tribes were divided into cultivated land, the Song army successively suffered many casualties. What made Yao Xiong most angry was that this equal division of land was a good thing for ordinary villagers, but these villagers still did not appreciate it and even continued to resist.
However, Yao Lin was also calm, because Wang Ju did this, even if the Song Dynasty pacified Bashu, he didn't dare to do it. But he also underestimated the ability of some scholars and doctors in the Song Dynasty, just like the uprising of Li Shun Wang Xiaobo, after the Song Dynasty was pacified, Zhang Yong keenly acquiesced to Li Shun Wang Xiaobo's "equal wealth and poverty", that is, the cultivated land that was equally divided for each household. As a result, the number of households in the area has increased dramatically, but there has been no serious annexation.
Zhang Yong doesn't have a golden finger.
But Wang Ju did this, it was indeed not easy, even if Yang Yizhen's army was destroyed, it would take a long time to use troops to barely calm Dali. It was reluctant, and Wang Ju in many areas was still unable to do anything. Especially those tribes who live by hunting and slash-and-burn farming as a supplement, how can Wang Ju divide the cultivated land equally? There are also some tribes who live a primitive communist life, but they are extremely backward, and there is no serious phenomenon of annexation and exploitation. As for those areas with harsh terrain, Wang Ju was even more helpless.
However, relatively speaking, the south is definitely better than the northern steppe, because the range of activities of the tribes is limited, not like the north, which is really nomadic, with the system of the Central Plains, in this era, there is no way to govern.
After saying this, the three armies began to march, crossed the Wuliang Mountain, and pointed directly at the Mengyou area, the target, Yongchang Mansion...... No, but bypassed Yongchang Mansion and pointed directly at Yunlongzhi. And this line also changed the previous practice, the speed of the march became very fast, and even in order to increase the speed, let all the prisoners of war who escorted the grain and grass and the 10,000 soldiers with slightly inferior combat effectiveness all go back, and the prisoners of war will be disbanded immediately, and the rest will continue to be used as a logistics branch to escort the grain and grass to cooperate with Wang Ju's main army. Yao Lin's uncle and nephew took 20,000 elite soldiers and a small amount of dry food and began to quickly hit the road.
The army on the other side also held back for a long time.
"Hahaha," Miao said as he crossed the Dadu River, laughing happily.
In the past few years, because of Wang Ju, he and Liu Changzuo have been presiding over the training of border soldiers in Hebei, and they have missed many military exploits.
Now it's finally time for him to show what he's capable of.
Maybe the result will be a little disappointing for him, because in the northwest of Dali, most of the troops have been transferred to Dali City.
The news of the march of soldiers and horses on these two roads has not yet reached Yang Yizhen's ears for the time being, and he is most concerned about Wang Ju's army.
Qiong Niang said: "Official, be careful. ”
"Don't worry, today is the mango seed, I am harvesting wheat, how can it be dangerous?"
If that's wheat, it's a super big wheat. (To be continued......)
