Wang Juxian took out a large thick account book: "The two lieutenant envoys, please take a look, this is all the expenses and income of my private soldiers, not only have I seen it, but Yao Patrol and the commanders of each battalion are also supervising it." ”

"Yes, some of the means are a little not very good, but I didn't touch the private salt, and the second thing I got back was the most scarce war horse, and third, we didn't have greed for ink, on the contrary, the Zhu and Li families may have to pour close to 20,000 yuan to enter, although they are rich families, they are not million-dollar family wealth, so much money, for them, it is also a lot of money. Not only that, but several wealthy families in Yanzhou City also plan to donate some money in June. Why? Loyal to the monarch and patriotic, and as a northwesterner, the Western Xia repeatedly invaded, and they were unwilling in their hearts, so when they heard that the battle was won, whether it was Gyeongju or Yeonju, all the people cheered. Therefore, they are ready to donate money. ”

There is really such a thing, but the main thing is a few deeds of bamboo paper, Zhao Yuanwai, Meng Yuanwai, Xi Yuanwai a few of them, this year's bamboo paper profits are good, and after the autumn bamboo paper sales, orders are still like snowflakes floating to Hangzhou, it is estimated that next year will increase production by two times.

Therefore, several families were very grateful, and after hearing about the Zhu and Li families, they also said that they would take out some money to help Wang Ju make contributions, and it was estimated that the number would not be small, at least one or two thousand.

However, there is no renminbi now, so it is still bartered, for example, Wang Ju needs iron, so he buys the wrought iron that Wang Ju wants and transports it to Huachi. Wang Ju was rewarded for training soldiers, and then the goods needed by the families of each soldier were purchased and transported to the capital or Gyeongju.

How much is now, but it has not yet been counted.

Of course. Final statistics. Not by bid. Instead, it is calculated according to the shop price, which can be recorded in the account books, and maybe it will also be handed over to the imperial court.

Wang Ju won't say this article, but he has to say it in the general righteousness.

Isn't he a good businessman if he is loyal and patriotic?

"Including me, I also took out a few thousand yuan and spent it together. Why? Could it be that the private soldiers are rebelling, the two lieutenant envoys think about it, I am a civil servant. Every three years, maybe it will be a move in less than three years, can you rebel with the strength of a county? Even if I had this intention, the officers and soldiers would not have agreed. Maybe if I said it earlier, the soldiers of the three armies in the back will cut off my head and hand it over to the court for meritorious service. ”

"Hahaha," the sentence was said humorously, and the two lieutenant envoys laughed.

"Do you want to remember?" Ge Shaohua asked.

"Why don't you remember?"

Ge Shaohua made a record, and Wang Ju said again: "Either it's a great achievement, don't mention those battles." Could it be that the Western Xia invaded, and the officers and soldiers sat back and watched their invasion and did not resist. In that case, why should the imperial court raise officers and soldiers? But after the Tangut retreated, did I raise a group of people? And I also made a promise to Sun Gong that by next winter, there would be no large-scale invasion of Western Xia, and that a few battalions of Tibetan cavalry would be transferred to other places, and then this kind of funding would gradually stop. The two lieutenant envoys can ask Sun Gong if I have said that. ”

"The Sprinkle family understands, this is to strengthen the army." Lieutenant Envoy Zhang said.

"Lieutenant Envoy Zhang, not only to strengthen the army, if that is the case, I will not take you for a day. Please see the map. ”

Wang Ju took out a large map and said, "Why did Western Xia deliberately choose to invade and plunder on Qinfeng Road and Huanqing Road?" I once mentioned this reason to the Gyeongju governor Jang Ji-fu. The people of Fulin Road are strong, and the invasion is not worth it. The public area of Yanyan is heavily guarded and not easy to invade, and at most it harasses the Tibetan people in the Tumen area. Jingyuan Road is too far away from Chang'an, and there are many dangers in the middle. Western Xia wanted to replicate the miracle of Li Yuanhao's soldiers in Chang'an, it was impossible. ”

"So plundering Qin Fenglu, the main force is not the Tangut people, but Yuzang Huama, he invaded wantonly, and formed a deep hatred with our dynasty, and since then he has been tied to the Xixia on a ship, and will not betray the Xixia. The reason for plundering Qin Fenglu is simple, but the plundering of Huanqing Road is the real conspiracy. ”

"Please," Eunuch Zhang said.

At least in this way, I am afraid that no minister in the imperial court has the ability to think of it.

No wonder Cheng Kan reported his two imperial examination strategies to the imperial court, although he was small, he really understood military affairs.

"There are several reasons for plundering Gyeongju, the first is that there have been several rebellions of the Tibetan people here, and the contradictions can be exploited. Second, it's very close to Chang'an, you can see this map. Wang Ju pointed to the map: "Not only is it close, but there is no danger to defend except for a meridian mountain." Don't mention troops to Chang'an, as long as you take Gyeongju, go to the middle of a card, two lieutenant envoys, and then look at the two states of Yanzhou and Huanwei on this map, then how embarrassing will I be to defend the border? ”

"That's true."

"Therefore, the Western Xia repeatedly plundered, and the Han people who plundered did not suffer much, most of them were Tibetan people, but although the Tibetan people were difficult to govern, they were the strongest combat effectiveness in Huanqing Erzhou. If I didn't have two battalions of cavalry in my hands during the three battles at that time, I wouldn't want to fight, and honestly stay in the fort and not come out. Therefore, the Tangut people plundered many times, and this year they changed their tricks, threatening and luring, forcing the Tibetan tribe to defect to the Tangut, or exterminate them. Without the Tibetan people, Huanqing is equivalent to losing one of the heaviest barriers and fighting armies. Then when the time is ripe, they will inevitably gather a large army to attack Huanqing Road. ”

This is also something that Wang Ju gradually came up with after a long time.

"But where to start? It will not attack Huanzhou, it is too remote, and it will not hinder our DPRK much. Therefore, it is still Gyeongju, if you want to attack Gyeongju, where is the most important, you also watched it for a day today, and it is undoubtedly Daesun City. The Xinjiang ballast fort is stuck in the middle of Dashun City and Rouyuan Village, which makes me uncomfortable. Dashun City is stuck between Xinjiang Ballast Village, Jintang City and White Leopard City, which makes the Xixia people uncomfortable. These are two iron gates, one to Western Xia and one to our dynasty. Therefore, if you want to plot against Gyeongju, you must attack Dashun City. However, to attack Dashun City, we must attack Rouyuanzhai and Liyuan Fort, cut off the backup road of Dashun City, and make Dashun City an isolated city, which is easy to overcome. Dashun City and Rouyuan Village are in danger, and the troops of Huachi County can't save them, so don't mention Liyuan Fort. ”

"Therefore, when I first came to Huachi, the first thing was to go to Liyuan Fort to review the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and I saw the gratifying side and the worrying side, and the Western Xia likes to gather superior forces to attack, once the Dashun City moves, it will be tens of thousands of troops coming. How many battalions of officers and soldiers are there in Huachi? What can be done then? The two lieutenant envoys understand my intentions this time, right? Not bad, strong armament warfare. Just in case. But how much money can the imperial court allot. Support me in a strong military war? I can't force myself. I had to use some disguised methods. ”

This explanation is completely clear, and there is no need to say that Wang Ju will not make a mistake, but Zhang Zhongenvoy asked puzzledly: "Why didn't Wang Zhixian report to the imperial court?" ”

"It's just my guess, what if it's not? But because of the minister's report, the official family is worried, and the court is worried. Can I afford the consequences? And it's easy to judge at this time, they didn't dare last year, first, they didn't know the reality of Gyeongju, and second, Li Liangzuo had not been in power for a long time, and there were still all kinds of problems in the country. They don't dare this year, and we will stab one in the northwest and prepare for martial arts, and they will have to go through some temptation. However, it is difficult to say next year, as long as there is no major disaster in Western Xia next year, there will inevitably be an invasion. ”

It's inevitable.

It has nothing to do with Wang Ju's change. Even if it is related, in order to retaliate. Li Liangzuo wants to start a war even more, and even this time will be advanced.

"But if there is no invasion next year, my conjecture may be wrong. It doesn't matter, first, I didn't use the state finances, second, at least I left a strong army for Gyeongju, and third, the army will be transferred at the end of next year, and the funding will be stopped, and the court will not be embarrassed. Therefore, if the imperial court hadn't sent two lieutenant envoys to inquire this time, how would I present it in the song? ”

"Will it invade?"

"Ninety percent likely to invade."

"This Li Liangzuo. Is there a way to deal with it? ”

Wang Ju held his chin, thought for a while, and said, "That's it, you can't go back to Gyeongju today, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow." Besides, the two envoys came to Huachi not only for this one issue. ”

"There is another problem, some people say that Sun Gong is greedy and has embezzled your credit, and you bribed Sun Gong, but there is such a thing."

"Where do bribes come from?"

"One is the wealth of the bandits in Meridian Mountain, and the other is the horse."

"That's strange, I want to keep it, but don't you hand over that wealth, don't you hand over that horse? As for Sun Gong's greed, I'm in Huachi County, and I really don't know. At least Sun Gong didn't embarrass me, and I was very satisfied. ”

The belly is black, the belly is black, Ge Shaohua shouted in his heart.

"I am a subordinate official, and I should not evaluate my subordinate officials, and besides, I am also a party, let alone evaluate. If the two lieutenant envoys want a pertinent and credible evaluation, it is best to ask the soldiers of the battalion, they know best. ”

"Yes, that's an idea, too." Eunuch Zhang said.

"The meal is ready, let's eat the bar."

Wang Ju left the two eunuchs to rest for the night.

The next day, the two eunuchs went directly to the barracks, and there was a barracks in Huachi Town without going far.

They found Commander Ye.

Commander Ye is a little dissatisfied with the rewards of the imperial court.

There are not many rewards for those who have really made meritorious contributions, for example, Wang Ju just fished a Dali Temple commentator, and some generals didn't even get anything. However, the useless man Sun Wei got a Pinglu Jiedu envoy.

The festival envoy is a rank official, and he has no power, but it is also an honorary position, and it is equivalent to taking an extra salary of the festival envoy, which will increase the income of thousands of times a year. Why was Zhang Guifei favored at the beginning, Zhao Zhen named Zhang Yaozuo as the envoy of the Huaikang Army, the envoy of the herd system, the envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Courtyard, and the envoy of Jingling Palace, and Bao Zheng They opposed it one after another. In fact, most of these posts are vacant, and they have no authority. In fact, Zhang Yaozuo is not bad as an official, and the history books evaluate the Han Shi, who is cautious and fearful, quite knowledgeable about the rule of officials, and knows the law. It is precisely because of this salary that one more rank official is equal to one more salary, and the worst thing is that Zhang Yaozuo is still a first-class high-ranking official, and that salary is very good, and the sum of several rank officials is much more than the salary of the minister.

Therefore, the imperial edict was issued, and many soldiers in Huachi County were unhappy.

It's just that I'm afraid that Sun Wei is fierce internally, and he dares to be angry but doesn't dare to speak.

In fact, if there is no Sun Wei, I am afraid it will only be such a reward. Sun Wei's reward was carried up by Ouyang Xiu, and it had nothing to do with the soldiers at all.

Commander Ye is a military general, where does he have such a long-term vision?

And Wang Ju hinted slightly, so to tell the truth, he pointed to the grass market and said: "Envoy, look at that grass market, it was originally the camp of Xinfan Cavalry, and later after the camp was transferred to Xihua Chiqi, Wang Zhixian sent people to transform it into a grass market, so that the people benefited. ”

"The Sprinkle family also heard and saw it, and the people love Wang Zhixian very much." Lieutenant Envoy Zhang said.

"That day, Sun Patrol came back with the soldiers to suppress the bandits, and some of the soldiers were also transferred from the last battalion of officers and soldiers, and they just returned to Huachi Town to camp and rest, and by the way, they asked Wang Zhixian how to deal with the mountain bandits, and reported to the front, saying that the Xixia people came to plunder, and the soldiers who had been trained for a long time had improved their combat effectiveness, so Yao Patrol immediately got on the horse and wanted to meet the battle. But he was stopped by Wang Zhixian, saying that it was okay to fight, but he couldn't fight in a hurry, and he had to find out the information and plan before he could send troops. Yao Patrol sent scouts to investigate, and discussed with Wang Zhixian and several commanders, and there was that camp, this consultation, and the last general was lucky to also participate. ”

"You should plan before you act." The Chinese envoy said.

"Yes, this plan has brought out three great victories," Ye Zhi's eyes flashed with infinite pride.

As Ye instructed him to slowly tell the truth, the truth was gradually revealed. (To be continued......)
