"How did Yongzhou City become like this?" Xie Chen said.

A year later, Yongzhou rebuilt the city wall. At that time, Jiaozhi still had some ideas, and after breaking the city of Yongzhou, he destroyed all the city walls and threw them to Yujiang.

If you want to build a city wall, you need masonry and clay, and now even the city wall is thrown into the Yujiang River, and it will be difficult to build it in the later Song Dynasty. Maybe you can count on a second robbery.

However, Yongzhou is so important that it is not only an important frontier state, but also has more than 40 prefectures within its borders, and including these prefectures, the area can reach more than 40 percent of that of Guangxi in later generations. In such a large area, there must be a safe first city.

Therefore, after Jiaozhi retreated, Tao Bi gave orders in danger, and after coming to Yongzhou, one is to train troops to strengthen the border defense, and the other is to repair the city wall of Yongzhou.

However, although the Yongzhou city wall was erected again on the original site, the entire city was sparsely populated, like a dead city.

Xie Chen was recruited later.

The overseas stall is expanding rapidly, in fact, if it includes the indigenous people of Guanzhì, the population is not much less than that of Western Xia and Jiaozhi.

This requires more managerial talent.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Wang Ju instructed to use various industries to continuously cultivate all kinds of talents, including stewards, economic people and craftsmen.

and deliberately recruited some people with high salaries, but if you want to enter the core, you must go through concepts and tests, and the first one must have brains, not nerds. Second, you have to be loyal and have a grateful heart, and the white-eyed wolf is absolutely not allowed to enter the core.

After being observed and tested, these moves were successively carried out into the various cores, including the temporary administration of the settlements. and various types of operations. There are other things as well.

Xie Chen is one of them.

After being tested. Wang Ju asked him to come to Lingnan to assist Huang Liang and Lu Herang in their work.

In the past, Xie Chen had come to Yongzhou because of his work.

At that time, there were more than 10,000 households in Yongzhou alone, so some of the people fled in time, and let Jiaozhi slaughter 50,000 or 60,000 people.

Or some people say that the population of our small town is more than 50,000 or 60,000 people. But this was the Song Dynasty, and more than one million people forced the Northern Song Dynasty to expand the capital many times, to the point that it reached more than 60 square kilometers. still couldn't live there, and later had to open a nine-compartment outside the city to settle down.

The city of more than 10,000 households is a big city in the sparsely populated Quang Nam.

"Zi Zhan, it will be very fast." Wang Judao, as he spoke, followed the direction pointed by passers-by, and galloped towards the state government with a pat of his horse.

Came to the gate of the state office.

Needless to introduce, Wang Ju wears a purple uniform, and there are not many officials who are qualified to wear purple uniforms in Guangnan. And he is so young, there is only Wang Ju alone.

Wang Ju turned over and dismounted. The official asked cautiously, "Your Excellency is the prince." ”

While talking, he took the initiative to lead the horse for the pedestrian.

Guo Kui's southern expedition, the name is very scary, the Annan Dao camp Ma Bujun is in charge, the envoy, and the envoy of Jinghu Guangnan Road, that is, in addition to being in charge of the conquest of Jiaozhi, he also has the right to govern the military power of Jinghu Guangnan Fourth Road.

Wang Ju is down, and his reputation is going to be weak.

What is in front of the prince Taibao military department squire Lang senior government hall scholar Xuanhui South Yuan envoy, these are also officials, and there are a lot of third-grade to fourth-grade official positions, but they are all professional officials, pavilion officials and rank officials, except for the official uniform changed to purple, the other Wang Ju didn't care much.

This is also Zhao Ji's opportunity to promote his official position, and he is always in charge of the two Guangzhous, and there are not so many high-ranking officials who drop out, and some officials will be dissatisfied.

So Wang Ju did not refuse.

In addition, he was his messenger, who sentenced Guizhou and Guangnan to Xuanfu Jing.

There is one more strategy, and there is one more cheap act.

That is, from now on, Liangguang will be handed over to you to toss. Moreover, Zhao Ji issued an edict to the commanders of the various divisions and state armies, so that they must obey Wang Ju's command.

But it is not really for Wang Juhu to come, if Wang Ju makes the people below miserable and complains, no matter what he does, the governors and envoys will resist, and even make trouble in the capital.

So at this time, the official did not dare to call Ming Gong.

The official position is frighteningly high, and it has exceeded the age limit.

Several officials still liked it very much, and under the successive victories, even in the south, they heard some of Wang Ju's deeds, and heard that this official was also quite good at governing the people, so that hundreds of thousands of people in Gyeongju were written by the people.

I don't know if the rumors are true or not.

Wang Ju's tone was very gentle, and he said, "Thank you, Brother Ya. ”

He asked again: "Tao Gong can be in the state office." ”

"Tao Chengcheng handles government affairs in the state government," several officials said with a solemn expression.

Wang Ju nodded secretly.

Before coming, he asked the imperial court to leave a few people, veterans He Bin, Yan Da, Qu Zhen, Miao Lu, Yao Lin, Yao Xiong's uncle and nephew, Yang Congxian, and Chongyi.

Why do you want to keep these generals, because these generals have all gone south with the army, whether they are defeated or not, they all have a certain understanding of the terrain and customs of Jiaozhi, and He Bin is a veteran who has been in the south for a long time.

In fact, Yang Congxian was only the warlord of the war, a technical official responsible for building warships, not a military general. However, the navy will be used in the future, and Wang Ju will stay.

In addition to leaving these generals, he repeatedly stated that the imperial court would let Tao Bi serve as the governor of Yongzhou in the past few years and should not be transferred.

In fact, before this battle, Wang Ju didn't pay attention to this Tao Bi. It wasn't until the news of the war came out that Wang Ju was surprised by this Tao Bi.

Then he sent someone to inquire about this person's birth, and he was even more surprised.

This person is the son of Tao Yue, Tao Yue is not famous in later generations, but he is very famous in the Song Dynasty, he is a famous Qing official, and the entire Duanzhou Zhizhou does not use Duanyan only Bao Zheng and Tao Yue.

However, Tao Bi was even better than his father, and he had fought against Wuling with Yang Ji very early, and he made great achievements when Ping Nong was wise, and built the Lingqu twice in the next two times, both of which were vigorous. I also knew about Yongzhou Zhizhou before, and I heard that the internal affairs are very good. It is known as "the left poetry book, the right Sun Wu (grandson Wu Qi)". Zhang Dian ran the Nanbei River, and when he was worried that no one was available, he thought of Tao Bi. Use him as the governor of Chenzhou. Tao Bi went to Chenzhou not long ago. He recruited Beijiang Peng Shi for the imperial court.

After Su Mian was killed. The imperial court also used this person as the governor of Yongzhou.

Guo Kui retreated overnight, and the other armies, not knowing what was happening, all fled in a hurry, and even left their baggage behind.

However, at this time, there were still many Jiaozhi troops on the other side of the river, who were watching from across the river.

Tao Bi had no choice but to restrain the Yongzhou Tubing Hall he brought, so that the Jiaozhi army on the other side of the river did not dare to move.

Otherwise, Guo Kui would have caused very bad consequences that time.

Wang Ju's subordinates also inquired about one thing in particular. Because Tao Bi is a good person and is willing to give, the income is used by others, so the family is poor, and his wife is in the township, and he actually rents someone else's house to live.

What is called a good official, this is called a good official.

Everything about Wen Yanbo and Han Qi is fake. Including Wang Anshi, who also began to buy land after his resignation, Lu Huiqing bought land in Runzhou very early, and he still "borrowed" money from big businessmen in Runzhou to buy land.

Wang Ju also mentioned this incident in the book, and Zhao Ji was very moved after reading it. Officials from Yongzhou were sent to build a house for Tao's wife.

The key to this battle is this Tao Bi.

Moreover, what Wang Ju is plotting is far greater than Zhao Zhangji thought. After all, so many years of overseas business. He has accumulated a huge amount of power for Wang Ju, not only wealth.

As long as you can bypass the sad Song Dynasty official system, it will be easy to do.

Wang Ju directly broke into the state government, of course, the officials did not dare to stop it.

A thin old man was reading the file on the table, and when he saw Wang Ju coming in, he immediately reflected: "I've seen the prince." ”

"Tao Gong, no courtesy, you are an elder, just call me Prince An." Wang Ju was far away.

Ya Gongxi, at least this young official has great respect for Tao Gong, of course, this also reflects Tao Bi's prestige in the hearts of the people of Yongzhou.

Tao Bi called the official to make tea, and asked Wang Ju to sit down.

Wang Ju said, "Zichuan, you go find an inn." ”

It's getting late, and there are many things to discuss later, so I have to stay in Yongzhou for one night tonight.

"Whoa." Wang Zichuan went out.

"Zishan, Dajing, you also ride out together, under my banner, ask the surrounding people about the attitude towards Jiaozhi, and then assemble at the inn."

"Oh," Wang Zishan and the others also walked out one after another.

Tao Bi said: "Prince." ”

"Zi'an is fine, at home, even my servants, I force them to call me Zi'an."

"The old man has the courage to call out Zi'an, Zi'an, don't ask, the people of Yongzhou hate Jiaozhi to the core."

"Coke war?"

Zi'an keeps a low profile and is not happy to fight. If the deeds of Zi'an are publicized in a high-profile manner, the people will be happy to fight. ”

This is the cumulative impact of Guo Kui's first war, so many soldiers and horses were dispatched, and they gave up halfway, and the people hated it to the core, and they didn't want to fight anymore. However, if it is a famous future commander who has won all battles, there are still many people who are willing to participate in the war.

"That's good, but I still have a few things to understand, and I want to ask Tao Gong."

"Don't dare."

"Guo Gong set out from Tanzhou in June, arrived in Guizhou in July, and set out for Yongzhou in September. This can be understood, 100,000 troops, 200,000 people, plus countless grain and grass materials to collect, it will take a long time. However, why did Guo Kui stay for more than 70 days after arriving in Yongzhou in September, and then the three armies set off? Don't you know that the more you stay, the easier it is to attract malaria. Later, after entering Cochin, the malaria infection was more severe, so why not isolate? ”

Herein lies the problem.

And what about miasma malaria, Wang Ju explained it a long time ago.

And it was also promoted by Ge Shaohua.

That is, when the people are moving, and then reduce the number of each group of people, and when they rest at night, try to bypass the miasma of the bad places that are said in the rumors.

It is understandable that the number of migrants will be divided into batches and the number of each batch will be minimized, and if it is reduced, it will not infect each other.

Why do you want to move, because once you stay, the female mosquitoes will suck blood once they mate, and the army can't stay, which is equivalent to producing a big blood field, and the blood-sucking mosquitoes come and go, and the blood-sucking mosquitoes in the distance continue to come. Therefore, the more you stay, the more likely you are to win the bid, and the more people you stay, the number of people who win the bid will double.

The reason for bypassing the miasma is also very simple, not all mosquitoes carry malaria pathogens, and those miasma are often sparsely populated and have a lot of putrefaction, and these putrefiners produce malaria bacteria. After the mosquito crawled on it, it also carried the malaria pathogen, and then bit the person, and the person also won the bid.

It is these rules that have been strictly enforced in these years, including the evacuation of migrants as soon as they arrive, and the immediate isolation of people who have malaria, the possibility of visiting during the day, keeping ventilation, but the evacuation of the house as soon as the mosquitoes get up, and the surrounding people must use mosquito nets to isolate mosquito bites to prevent infection. Therefore, in recent years, there has been no large-scale malaria infection among the migratory people. Of course, after being encircled into a polder, these decay materials become fertilizer, and after being turned into a sun, malaria bacteria will lose their living soil.

There is another example, that is, the famous Burmese Savage Mountain during the Republic of China.

However, when there were more people, the horrors of Savage Mountain naturally disappeared.

The reason why Wang Ju has this question is that Tao Bi has been an official in Lingnan, and Tao Bi presided over the first rebuilding of the Ling Canal, and then because of Kapok, the imperial court funded the rebuilding of the Ling Canal, and Ge Shaohua and Tao Bi participated at the same time. And now the Kapok Division is not only in Guangnan East Road, but also began to expand to Guizhou.

Not to mention consumption, just mention the danger of malaria, Guo Kui can't swing in Yongzhou for more than 70 days.

"Zi'an, it's not that Lao Yu didn't say it, at that time, Lao Yu persuaded Guo Gong to let him send troops immediately. He said that it was still hot, but in fact it was September, although it was hot, wasn't it hot in the capital? This heat is withstandable by officers and soldiers. However, Guo Gong also said that the smoke miasma to the south is heavier, so you have to wait. I said, is there no smoke miasma in Yongzhou? However, Guo Gong did not listen. Then malaria began to spread among the army, and His Majesty sent an envoy to give medicine, but it didn't work. I was also quarantined, but I couldn't leave the sick behind, so the more I was infected, the more I became more infected. In the end, after the victory of the first battle of Fuliangban, although the old man insisted on using troops in Thang Long City. But it was true that the people in the army were panicked, and thousands of people died every day, so Guo Gong lost the rest of the army and led the Chinese army to flee the battlefield first. ”

"Why did Guo Gong stay in Yongzhou for so long?"

"I don't know very well, not only did I urge, but Zhao Gong also urged, and I almost turned my eyes and enemies over this matter. According to Zhao Gong's speculation, it may be related to the prince in the court, Wu Gong (Wang Anshi Wu Chong), until the prince dismissed the prime minister, Guo Gong did not send troops. ”

"Prince, Duke Wu?" Wang Ju was also at a loss.

But because of the intrigue between Wu Chong and Wang Anshi, Guo Kui was implicated, and he couldn't joke about hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians.

"Guo Gong wants to retreat, why don't you agree?"

"Zi'an, you don't know, I came to Yongzhou last year, and I was full of sores and extremely miserable. And to that point, 100,000 people have been slaughtered, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians have died, why not go further and avenge these 200,000 innocent undead! ”

"How to get revenge?"

"Kill this thief Li Gande."

"Tao Gong, what do you think if I use Jiaozhi's treatment of the people of Yongzhou and inflict it on the Jiaozhi people?" (To be continued......)
