It is said that after receiving the news, He Bin laughed three times and then died.

In fact, this is the end of the best life of a military general.

Wang Ju watched Wang Zichuan ride away, sighed, and poured into the city.

Without his orders, the generals will know what to do, capture the prisoners, take over the cangli, take over the palace in Dali, and arrest the owners of the city together, except for Duan Zhengming's father-in-law Dong family, everyone else can be treated as a rebel.

Kumamoto also entered the castle.

Miao Zhu and Liu Changzuo were overjoyed when they saw Wang Juju, and they still praised him as before: "Duke Ming." ”

"Long time no see," Wang Ju also showed a relieved smile. It's been a long, long time.

"A glass of turbid wine is happy to meet, Xiong Gong, General Miao, General Liu, let's find a place to drink a few glasses." Wang Ju said again.

"This ......"

"Don't worry, we have dealt with Shanxian City once, and the generals in the army don't need to be ordered, they all know what to do." Wang Judao.

However, Wang Ju's military law is still strict, and when each army general moves, he sends a strong military law team to supervise the back, so as to prevent the soldiers from burning and looting indiscriminately after entering the city.

A few people came to a restaurant, the door of the restaurant was open, but there was not a single guest inside, who still had the heart to eat at this time?

Wang Ju comforted him, and the owner of the restaurant personally cooked and cooked for them.

Kumamoto said: "Shaobao, here you can immediately immortalize the battle feats." ”

When the Northern Song Dynasty really expanded, it was the time of Song Taizu, who repeatedly recovered Bashu, Jinghu, Guangnan and Southern Tang, and then in the era of Zhao Kuangyi, forced Min and Wu Yue to dedicate the country. and reclaimed the east side of the river. But this is not the credit of Zhao Kuangyi. It was only because of the aftermath of Cheng Zhao Kuangyin that it was realized. Subsequently, he went to the north twice in a row and failed, Hebei lost Yizhou, and Li Jiqian rose in the northwest. During the time of Song Zhenzong, the entire Lingxia Plain was lost, and the north formed an alliance of Lanyuan that sent silver every year. During the reign of Song Renzong, although he did not lose much land, he began to send silver to Western Xia again.

It wasn't until a few years ago that Wang Shao subdued Xihe. The territory has been expanded, but how does Wang Shao's Xihe land compare with Jiaozhi and Dali, and there is also a puppet state that occupies the city.

"It's hard to say." Wang Ju said lightly.

Kumamoto is silent, as an enterprising minister, he will be very happy to see today's situation, but looking at the dynamics of the court, it may not be easy to say. So he drank a glass of wine and said, "Shaobao." We're going back in a few days. ”

Wang Ju nodded.

Kumamoto did a good job this time, and some of the credit does not necessarily have to be seen in the battle of Yunnan.

If it weren't for Kumamoto's force, it would have been contained. Wang Ju didn't dare to let Qu Zhen withdraw the tens of thousands of troops to the most Ning Mansion. In that way, just the logistics supply can also crush Wang Ju. And Wang Ju is not very good at using troops, just like this battle, Yang Yizhen saw the defeat, and there was no Song army behind, so he might not be forced to gather the main force out of the city for a battle. Even if it is unfavorable in the end, he can calmly withdraw to the Moutong Mansion, and even if it is not good, Wang Ju will fall into a quagmire war.

But Kumamoto led 10,000 Tibetan cavalry over, and even some of the Tibetan cavalry on Huanqing Road, some of the Tibetan cavalry Wang Ju still knew each other, and this retreat, the entire northwest army was somewhat empty. Although I don't know the news from the northwest, I believe that for such a long time, Western Xia must have launched many invasions.

Moreover, Kumamoto has eliminated the main tribes and castles in the northwest rear one by one, and now the biggest headache is the south and southwest, both of which are hot areas, and the Fan cavalry, who is not afraid of cold and heat, will not play much role.

Wang Ju raised his glass and said, "I also want to thank Xiong Gong." ”

"It's all for the imperial court, how can I thank you."

"Xiong Gong, do you know about the returning state man and the Yan Zhou man?"

"I've heard that, but it's not a little insurance, Yanzhou is quite under the jurisdiction of Luzhou......" Kumamoto said.

Luzhou is not a barbarian territory, if Wang Ju crosses the border and uses troops, it will really make some civil servants talk about it.

"Xiong Gong, you misunderstood, but the imperial court suddenly sent me an edict about the course of that battle for some reason." Wang Ju said. In fact, the imperial court allowed him to use soldiers, and Wang Ju was not very willing. Don't look at Yanda's opening of that channel, it was actually the use of troops in those months, and all the money saved by smuggling this year was completely wiped out. It's not too far, but the mountains and rivers are long, and the transportation is inconvenient, which has to be solved by the officers and soldiers near Luzhou, the big deal Wang Ju can provide some military support, and Wang Ju can't afford the materials, and he can't afford it, it's a waste.

Kumamoto also immediately thought that it might be that some people in the court were worried that they could take it, but they couldn't govern it well, and in the future, the whole Dali would be like the one south of Luzhou, and the Song Dynasty would not open up the territory, but fall into the sea. He said: "Shaobao, I am also worried, the snake cannot fly without a head, the bird cannot fly without wings, and sooner or later these tribes will produce a new leader." ”

Wang Ju's transformation of the land and return to the stream was to get rid of all the barbarian leaders, including the leaders of these prisoners of war in the army, as well as the nobles, although Wang Ju did not kill them, he also planned to move to the open sea. Anyway, there are many overseas islands, so just throw them on that island and fend for yourself. See if you can be the emperor again?

Then divide the land and houses of these people equally.

However, sooner or later, these tribes will have new leaders, and once the various tribes have new leaders, the policy of changing the land and returning to the people will be a failure.

Wang Ju shook his head and said: "Xiong Gong, don't worry about this, there is no arable land, and you have lost the right to tax, even if some prestigious people are produced in each village, you can't call on the people to rebel." Unless the government is harsh, whether it is Dali or the Central Plains, the nature is the same, the people are forced by the officials to live, they can only rise up, the world is in chaos, how can there be the difference between Dali and the Central Plains? ”

"That's right." Kumamoto thought about it again and had to admit that Wang Ju had a point.

Only then did Wang Ju turn his head and ask Miao and Liu Changzuo: "How about the border troops you trained in Hebei?" ”

At the beginning, it was Zhang Qi who trained the border army in Hebei, and seeing that the effect was good, the imperial court trained two border troops in Gaoyang Pass and Hedong, which were in charge of Miao and Liu.

"I can barely use ......," Liu Changzuo said.

"Where's that?"

"There are many reasons," Liu Changzuo said, letting him elaborate. I can't tell.

Wang Ju can understand some of it. It's just a constraint on Wenchen. It will be difficult for the second general, not to mention the others.

Miao said: "If the Liao State invades, it is still difficult to let them go to the battlefield, and it is best to have one or two actual combat experiences as Ming Gong said." ”

Liu Changzuo said: "Not only that, but in fact, it depends on the ability of the general. If it were someone else, Dali might not be so easy to take. ”

"Actually, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your trust, if you don't let me take over the power of the two Guangxi military, politics and finance. I was unable to recruit a large number of soldiers from the south, and this time the use of soldiers, malaria and water and soil adaptation have never produced a large number of casualties, although I have been very careful, mainly because most of the soldiers in the army come from the south. ”

Here, Wang Jucai said the truth, although the northern army has strong combat effectiveness, the water and soil in the south will give the northern army a headache. As long as this point is overcome, regardless of the vast area of Dali, the actual difficulty of using troops is far less than that of Wang Shao's use of troops in Hehuang. But then again. As long as the fatal point can be found, even the Liao State may not be able to deal with it. But this fatal point. Who can find out one by one?

The city of Dali gradually calmed down, and Kumamoto withdrew to the northwest with a large army.

But it's still going to be a long time before you get to the northwest.

Their fees don't have to be paid by Wang Ju, so they have to be supported by the imperial court......

Qu Zhen continued to carry out land reform in Zining Mansion, but successively moved southward, and then entered Jiaozhi, and logistics is still a painful topic for Wang Giant.

Yanda led a part of the army to continue to set out to the northwest, and the Kumamoto belt was fast, and many areas had not yet been resolved.

Yao Lin led the main army south.

Now it can only be said that Dali is coarse, and if you want to completely calm down, I'm afraid it will be the end of the year.

Zhang Qi finally led more than 100 officials to arrive belatedly.

The prefectures and counties have been divided together, but the imperial court has not yet gathered the officials.

Wang Ju was almost speechless.

However, in the minds of these officials, the actual Dali is equivalent to another world.

If it weren't for the promotion of the imperial court, I'm afraid even these officials would not want to come.

Wang Ju gathered these officials and asked, "How will you manage this place in the future?" ”

"Huh?" Everyone was surprised together, yes, Shicheng County began to have officials come to govern before, but what about other areas?

"Isn't it managed? I had no choice but to let some stewards manage it, but now that they are doing a good job, are you not as good as a steward? ”

This group of officials sent by the imperial court, at least most of them have performed well in terms of political performance, everything is difficult at the beginning, Zhao Ji still knows this truth, if the officials sent are poor, maybe they will be like Bashu again, what should I do when the time comes? First, it is more difficult to use soldiers, and second, is it possible to use Haoqiang like in the early Song Dynasty to produce all kinds of evil side households?

Therefore, the performance of these officials is not bad, and they have been grinding at the grassroots level for a long time, and it can only be said that everyone has been promoted, such as the lord Bo has been promoted to the magistrate, the magistrate has become the general judge, and the general judgment has become the magistrate.

But these two expansions made many alternate officials cheer together. So many errand officials went to the south, and they had to send officials to fill in later, and their opportunity came......

As for the Lord's thin? Now there are only about a hundred officials, so what else is there to blame?

"If the people of Dali are really as vicious as the legend says, how can I pacify Dali in a few months?" However, Wang Ju still formulated a law, no civil fights, no one who does it first, regardless of right or wrong, those who use fists will be punished with fifty lashes, and those who use murder weapons will be punished with a hundred rods, and then judged according to right and wrong. As for the possibility that the fetters may be plundered, then let them copy it, why ask Zhang Kai to come to Dali, it is to use soldiers, as long as the front is copied, the back is just to use soldiers to pacify, change the land and return to the stream.

Wang Ju said: "These stewards will assist you for two months, so that you can get acquainted with it first. ”

"That's good." Zhang Qi's eyes lit up.

But Wang Ju is not only an expedient measure, these stewards in the management process, or in the process of operation, is also further sharpened, after two months, the autumn wind rises, they return to Guangzhou one by one, with the sea ship to go overseas, can smoothly serve as officials in overseas cities or directors of various industries.

In fact, the overseas stall is too big, and now there is some chaos.

"But before you each go to work, I'll let the flavonol train you." Wang Ju said again.

The first is to familiarize them with the situation in various parts of Dali, and the second is to let Huang Hua teach them how to govern the people on this side, as well as deal with ethnic relations and local customs. Otherwise, for these officials. Came to Dali. It's completely black.

Of course. In the future, if it is on the track, and the imperial court knows all the situations here, it will be easy to govern.

If the officials are corrupt, as Wang Ju said, don't talk about Dali, even in the Central Plains, the officials will force the people to rebel.

In fact, Dali is a little better, and it is a sparsely populated place. On the contrary, the southeast is densely populated. The pressure will increase later. Otherwise, where did the soil for the Fangla uprising come from? It is rumored that after destroying Fang La, countless imprisoned women were found in a cave, all naked for the so-called "righteous army" under Fang La's subordinates to play, as a result, Fang La perished, and these women escaped from the cave together, causing dozens of miles of naked women to flee frantically. Otherwise, maybe Fang La would gain momentum that time, and maybe he could become an anti-gold hero in the future.

Wang Ju said. Let Huang Hua take them down for "training".

However, Zhang Qi's face is still very cautious, Dali is not as good as Liangguang. The identity of the Central Plains, the recognition of the people here with the Central Plains is not high, and it is still difficult to govern here smoothly in the future, even if Wang Ju has changed many areas to the land.

"Zi'an, how many areas have been changed to the stream?"

Wang Ju took out a large map, there are still many areas that have not been pacified, the map only marks the areas of Pingding, all green is the area that has changed the land and returned to the stream, and the gray is the area where the fetters have been restored, but the land can be changed and returned to the stream in the future, and the brown is the area that cannot be changed and returned to the stream.

"Can't change the land?"

"There are various reasons," Wang Ju said, mainly because of the terrain, when Zhang Qi was in the future, Wang Ju took a group of soldiers and horses over the Gaoligong Mountain, and the mountain side is the vast Tengchong Prefecture area, if it is divided according to the territory of later generations, it is actually the northwest region of the entire Myanmar, and now it belongs to the feudal area of Dali.

So why do you need Duan Zhengming, and let Da Duan Zhengming be the king of Yunnan after that, partly to appease the people in the territory and help quell the rebellion, and partly to facilitate the pacification of the barbarian tribes in these fetters.

But Wang Ju's intention of this trip is not to recruit An, in the south of Dali is the country of Bagan, more than ten years ago the king of Bagan Anuradha used troops in Dali, probably because of the stubborn sniper of Dali, may be because of the long road, inconvenient logistics, the two countries are invincible, so reconciled, Anuratu led the army to withdraw, but let the western part of the Jingyun area, as well as the chiefs of the Shan region in the south of Yongchang Province have defected to the state of Bagan, so from the territory, this area belongs to the country of Bagan.

Wang Ju stared at the Bagan Kingdom, not because he wanted to fight for these feudal areas, but because he was afraid that after the Bagan Kingdom became stronger, it would pose a threat to Dali.

In addition, geographically, Wang Ju also wants to get the country of Bagan, so he can open up a road and directly link it with maritime trade. This meaning can not only benefit Dali, but even benefit the people of Bashu.

And it's relatively simple to use soldiers, Zhang Qi is here, he is the best assistant, just find an excuse to use soldiers, and just calm Dali is almost fixed, and the weather has also entered winter, it is the time to use soldiers in Bagan.

Therefore, he went to the periphery of Tengchong Province, and it should be said that the situation in Bagan and Tengchong Province was similar.

As a result, after reading it, the idea was immediately extinguished.

It is too backward, so in a sense, the surrounding area of Dali is another world for many officials of the Song Dynasty.

In this area, you can see primitive societies, semi-primitive and semi-slave societies, slave societies, semi-feudal and semi-slave societies......

It is more complex than the colorful terrain of Dali.

"If I am as expected,......" Zhang Qi muttered after listening to Wang Ju's detailed explanation.

Wang Ju said: "Brother Qianfu, don't worry, I will let Huang Yuzhi and some capable stewards stay to help you, at least for two to three years." ”

"Zi'an, why did those stewards listen to your transfer?"

"Brother Qianfu, do you remember the ten merchants in Yanzhou?"

"Yes."

"Actually, they are the main body of overseas maritime merchants, otherwise do you really think that maritime merchants are so easy to influence and selfless?"

"That's ...... so"

"In addition, in the future, three million yuan of money will be taken out from overseas, which will be turned into materials needed by Dali and sent to Dali to fund you to govern this land."

"That's great...... Three million? ”

"Brother Qianfu, since this year, all the precious spices and pearls have been smuggled together, and they have not passed through the city."

Zhang Qi was shocked.

"The same, take it from the people, use it for the people, although it is smuggled, it is still used to govern the people and benefit the people, since you have taken Dali, the people of Dali are not the people of the Great Song Dynasty?"

Zhang Qi shook his head with a wry smile, but these two supports are too powerful, don't say that the gentleman is ashamed of his words and has no money, how to use soldiers? If there is no money, how can we build farmland and water conservancy? If there is no money, how can we open a school and popularize education?

With these three million huge funds, coupled with the tax policy implemented by Wang Ju, Zhang Ji had the confidence to cure this side of the land.

"Brother Qianfu came at the right time...... Wang Ju said. If you want to use the army in Bagan, start now. If you don't do it now, the court order will be issued sooner or later. Just took advantage of his own time, on the side to assist Zhang Kai to transfer troops, not familiar with these border army soldiers, how to use soldiers? can also assist Zhang Kai in governance, so if he leaves, Zhang Kai can also smoothly take over Dali's future military affairs and government finances.

The two discussed for a long time, and Wang Jucai stopped, and then sent a thick stack of lists of meritorious soldiers to the imperial court.

This is not my army, but the army of the imperial court, which destroyed the Three Kingdoms in a row and sacrificed heavily, should I be compensated? Let me reward you?

What else should I do? I'm really short of money.

In fact, there is a dispute in the court over Wang Ju's placement.

According to the meaning of Lu Gong's writing, let Wang Ju sentence the Yongxing Army, and the Western Xia is not honest again, so use the wicked against the wicked.

But Wang Qi disagreed, it is better to sentence the Yongxing Army than to sentence Weizhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou, Qinzhou, these states can really go to the front, and how many will let the commanders of the Yongxing Army go to the front line? This is too thin for Wang Ju.

Feng Jing said that let Wang Ju serve as the privy deputy envoy.

Wang Jue still disagreed, now the party struggle is not as fierce as before, but the secret struggle is still continuing, Wang Jue feels weak, so he said, Feng Gong wants to regard Wang Ju as a military minister?

This is really important, in fact, Wang Ju himself is negligent, in his thoughts, most of them are privy deputy envoys, if anything is judged by the Yongxing army, Wang Ju will immediately put up his hooves and quit, but Wang Ju asked a very realistic question, most of the privy deputy envoys are civil ministers, but if Wang Ju is on the throne with military merits, then he can be classified as a military minister. As soon as he entered this ranks, Wang Jushi's career was over.

But Wang Ju really only has military merits?

Looking at the governance of Guangnan West Road, in fact, Dali is also well governed, but the time is short, and after the pacification, it does not see much effect.

Therefore, Wang Jue strongly recommended Wang Juwei to participate in political affairs.

"Participating in political affairs?" Lu Gongzhu shook his head and said.

"Lu Gong, is it because of the lack of political performance ability, the lack of qualifications, or the age is too young?"

"Participating in political affairs?" Wang Ju was also stupid when he looked at the appointment, the governor was only one step away from the prime minister, how was this appointment passed, could it be that those scholars and doctors in the court had changed their temperament together? (To be continued......)
