Chapter 825: Do Not Do Unto Others as You Do Unto Yourself

The matter has come to this point, and Wang Ju has no choice but to find a way.

There is a complete Yan A bone fight and there is no complete Yan A bone fight are two different things, just like the Song army fought Xia, it cannot be said that the Song army was weak at that time, and now the Song army is strong. In fact, the Song Dynasty was stronger at that time, of course, after the tempering of these several great victories, now the combat effectiveness and combat experience of soldiers from all walks of life in Shaanxi have also followed. But one is commanded by Wang Shao and the other is commanded by Gao Zunyu, and two different results will be produced immediately.

According to the information brought by Wu Nan, Wang Ju guessed that it would not even take until next autumn for the Liao State to completely suppress these rebellious Jurchens.

You can't blame Lu Hui, if it weren't for the change in the situation, it would be the turmoil in Liaodong this year, and the Liao State would suppress the rebellion next autumn, and there would be time.

But here's the problem......

It is no wonder that the Western Xia was defeated by this, and the Liao State did not send an envoy to the border to question the Song Dynasty.

He thought for a long time, and asked Wu Nan to go back to Liaodong to spread the word, this time could not be delayed at all, now the time is about to enter September, and he will return to Mizhou, and then return to Liaodong.

It is not difficult to return to Liaodong, although the steam engine technology is not perfect, but it can push some small ships to sail against the wind, but the speed will be very slow, a little delay, Liaodong will enter the deep winter wax moon, under the heavy snow, even if you arrive at the port, you can't pass the order to Lu Hui in time.

So this line of work has to be fast.

After seeing Lu Hui, he passed on three more orders.

The first order was to select a capable, especially military-capable man among the chiefs of the tribes, and to support him as the leader of the tribes.

The snake can't be headless, and it is a mess like this, as long as the Liao State is forced to mobilize a heavy army. One, two, three, it was suppressed. But there is a strong chieftain. Plus the birth girl is really tough. Even if the Liao State suppressed them, it would pay a huge price.

Let Lu Hui instruct these Jurchen Ministries, don't blindly expand the territory, the larger the territory, the higher the requirements for management, according to the news brought by Wu Nan, I'm afraid there are no such talents over there.

If the Liao State has a large number of troops, it can also take advantage of the home advantage. In particular, the land on the eastern side of Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, with mountains and black waters, and guerrilla tactics are carried out.

In fact, no matter how Lu Hui explained, there may not be anyone there who has mastered the true meaning of guerrilla tactics, otherwise the Liao State may not have suppressed it in four or five years.

However, if the guerrilla tactics of the enemy advance and retreat, and if the enemy retreats and we advance a little, it will also drag on the time of this rebellion for a longer time.

The second order was to support the leader and make him shout the slogan of no food and no tribute.

In particular, this tribute has made the Jurchen tribes miserable.

Once this slogan came out. More clans will join the rebellion. Then, just like Li Zicheng did in the early days, it attracted hundreds of people to open the city gate spontaneously. Meet the King of Chuang.

Of course, as a mature regime, it is absolutely impossible to shout such stupid slogans.

Just like *** arrived in Yan'an, a mature monetary tax system was immediately issued, after the Hundred Regiments War, the Wa State focused on *** side, and also invented silkworm encirclement, resulting in the base shrinking by half, so the Yan'an tax was immediately increased by nearly doubled, and then Wang Zhen opened up Nanniwan......

But on the other hand, it is a sign of the maturity of a regime.

Another example is Zhu Yuanzhang.

The counterexample is Li Zicheng, it is true that there is no grain and no tax in the early stage, but in the late Ming Dynasty, the major households were extremely greedy, and each household hoarded a large amount of money and grain, and it was okay to eat large households, but after arriving in Beijing, it was different, no food and no taxes, and it was impossible to feed so many soldiers and officers, so the so-called righteous army looted on a large scale, so after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the gentry took the initiative to come out to greet the ......

But Wang Ju doesn't want to support the rise of a Jin country, so it doesn't matter, as long as the rebel forces in Liaodong become stronger, who cares about the rest?

So Wang Ju used this method of drinking water to quench his thirst to mislead the various departments in eastern Liaodong.

The third order was to start building ships on the banks of the Yalu River immediately in the spring of the following year, which was also a well-established waterway that was used by the Ujang Rebellion to send envoys to meet Zhao Guangyi.

Now it is not to send envoys, but to prepare for the retreat of Lu Hui's five thousand soldiers and horses.

Once it was discovered that the front line was running out, Lu Hui immediately led 5,000 soldiers and horses to retreat. Even if the front line can hold on, the 5,000 soldiers and horses will be retreated by the end of next summer. But not back to the Song Dynasty, when Wu Nan came back, Lu Hui helped to instigate, the rebellious army reached more than 20,000 people, I believe that by next spring, the rebel army will be larger, and if the Liao State wants to suppress it, it will inevitably mobilize all the surrounding forces, including the garrison on the bank of the Yalu River to suppress it. Then when Lu Hui arrives here, the number of garrisons of the Liao State will become very small, and Lu Hui can take 5,000 soldiers and horses to destroy these cities together, and the rest will be wiped out, and then quickly sneak into the border of Goryeo, use the narrow terrain of Goryeo, as well as the mountainous terrain on the east coast of the border between the two countries, secretly reach the east coast, and then load it in a small boat, board the big ship, and withdraw to the Song Dynasty.

However, this is very difficult, the first is that the speed must be fast, and the second is that the Goryeo people must not be detected in advance, or even surrounded, so that they cannot carry the stolen goods to Goryeo.

This also required the dispatch of people in advance to survey the detailed roads and the distribution of Goryeo's forces along the Yalu River.

But as long as the Liao State is angered and the army is sent to Goryeo again, Wang Ju can rest easy.

As for what revenge the Koreans will usher in, Wang Ju will not care.

He had a bad impression of the two countries in the east in his heart, but compared to the stick, although the Wa country was cruel, there were still some things worthy of respect, and as for the obscenity and arrogance of the stick, Wang Ju hated it very much.

It's best that Liao can learn from Genghis Khan's approach and kill all these sticks, so that Wang Ju will clap his hands and applaud.

But what it is, Wang Ju can't predict.

The main reason is that it is too far apart, and there is a Liao country in the middle, even if it is in Mizhou, it is enough to send the news from Huangzhou to Mizhou within seven or eight days by using special foot delivery and changing people and horses, but people are in Liaodong, and a contact on both sides will take at least half a year, so Wang Ju will not be able to make changes in time, and can only rely on Lu Hui to play with his imagination over there.

Wang Ju personally sent Wu Nan out of Huangzhou City.

This trip to Wu Nan is very hard, but many people on the other side are very hard. It's their hard work. The scale of the other side is getting bigger and bigger. More and more prosperous.

However, it is the complex trade, the management and governance of the migrants, and some wars that continue to sharpen a large number of talents for the other side.

It can be said that there are many management talents on the other side, and in the Song Dynasty, they are enough to serve as a very qualified prefect.

But the Song Dynasty would not cherish it.

Wang Ju thought of this, and felt some emotion in his heart. Perhaps the appointment of people in the imperial examination has also reached its peak, and it is almost time to be eliminated.

Wu Nan gave a salute, got on the horse and left.

Wang Ju looked at the clear water, on the north bank is the Tang Dynasty famous Shanzhou City Ruins, after the decline of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo officially entered the Hehuang, Shanzhou City was also destroyed, now only a little bit of ruins remains, but also make people think of the Tang Dynasty's strength.

Outside the city, many civilians and prisoners of war were transporting food and grass supplies. When I arrived in Huangzhou, I officially entered the Qinghai Plateau. Winters are colder and come faster.

Therefore, it is necessary to build and improve the forts during this time, and the grain and grass materials must also be transported in time.

There are also some archers who have migrated, and the Baojie army has to be arranged at the same time.

In the winter, these border troops will begin to be reorganized and trained.

For this, there are still many people in the imperial court who support it.

In the future, about 40,000 border troops will be stationed in the entire Hehuang, that is, permanent village soldiers organized by archers and Baojie troops, and about 20,000 forbidden soldiers.

Without so many troops, it will not be possible to rule here in the future.

However, if the original rotation system is continued, many officers and soldiers will be separated from their wives all year round, especially as far away as Hehuang, and the imperial court will also spend even more.

However, now with Wang Ju's method, not only has the integration of the two sides been accelerated, but even the reclamation of these border armies is undoubtedly demonstrating what advanced cultivation technology is like the various departments in Tibet.

The grain produced by the township soldiers can meet the food needs of 20,000 forbidden soldiers, and when purchased from them, a bucket of grain costs only a few tens of yuan, but when it is transported from the rear, it is not known that it has become several hundred yuan. Moreover, it is to increase the plateau garrison fee of five yuan to the township soldiers, and the salary of a township soldier is only a little more than 20 yuan a year, and it is not as high as the cost of raising forbidden soldiers. Then 60,000 soldiers and horses, plus the consumption of armor and other materials, if there is no outbreak of war, the cost will only exceed 4 million.

But got the whole river Huang, really no gain?

As long as it is properly managed, all kinds of taxes in Hehuang, even if there are no two taxes, are enough to meet the expenses of officers and soldiers.

In that way, three other meanings emerge.

The first is that there is no border trouble on the border, the second is that you can get a large number of war horses, and the third is that you can get a large number of strong soldiers.

Wang Ju watched for a while and entered the city, and the war between the two sides was over this year.

Ali Gu and Liang Yikui are gritting their teeth and licking their wounds, believing that if the Song army does not send troops, they will be eager and will not take the initiative to provoke the Song Dynasty again.

However, there is another important task, that is, from now on, immediately send scouts to collect intelligence on the side of Qingtang City and Kuozhou, and lay the foundation for next year's war.

Wang Ju was busy on the front line, and Sima Kang continued to complain in the capital.

He is Sima Guang's adopted son, but he is also Sima Guang's nephew, and his biological father is Sima Guang's eldest brother Sima Dan.

After there was no way to complain, Sima Kang found Fan Chunren again, Fan Chunren is now the second prime minister, that is, the status of Wang Ju at the beginning. However, the power in the hands of the two is different, Wang Juming is the second prime minister, which is actually the first prime minister, and Fan Chunren is the second prime minister, so he is the second prime minister.

But I have to admit that Sima Guang's family education is very strict, although Sima Kang is Sima Guang's righteous son, but in Sima Kang's heart, Sima Guang is his father.

The hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife, the two major hates of men through the ages...... Although he didn't kill his father, it's almost the same, now Sima Guang is seriously ill in bed and dying, Sima Kang doesn't care whether Fan Chunren will drag him into the water, and comes directly to the door.

Why did you find Fan Chunren, Fan Chunren's daughter is married to Sima Dan's son, the eldest brother of Sima Kang in name and the actual elder brother. The daughter born to Fan Chunren's daughter married Fan Zhongbiao, Fan Zuyu's grandson.

And Sima Guang is better disguised, for example, when he was repairing books in Luoyang, his residence "Duyuan" was very shabby, and it was said that the garden was humble and small, and he could not be in the garden class with him. And the houses are low, the space is small, and the summer heat is unbearable. Influencing the work of book writing. In winter, I was reluctant to light a stove. The guests who visited were too cold to stand. To solve the puzzle. Sima Guang came up with a good way to dig a big deep pit in the room and build a "basement" that was warm in winter and cool in summer. Therefore, the folk have "Wang's family drills the sky, Sima enters the ground", drilling the sky is the super mansion of Wang Gongchen's family, and entering the ground is the cellar of Sima Guang.

In fact, the truth is that although Sima Guang's garden is small, it contains many precious peony flowers, and even charges tourists. Let it see.

This pit is indeed warm in winter and cool in summer.

Of course, compared with Wang Gongchen, Sima Guang is indeed very simple.

Then Sima Guang did another thing that made Wang Ju even more disgusting, after his wife died, Sima Guang had no money to bury, so he had to sell three hectares of fertile land in Luoyang to bury his wife.

Think about how much money the imperial court allocates to Sima Guang every year for repairing books, even if Sima Guang is very honest, don't forget that he is an official with the three grades, not Su Dongpo's "crime" and the "criminal official" in Huangzhou. Spend the day selling paper bags.

There are thousands of salaries and benefits a year, as well as the huge wealth of the Sima family. Is there no burial fee for burying his wife?

In the face of some people's doubts, Sima Guang gave an explanation that we used the money together to relieve poor relatives, friends and poor people.

Well, the Grand Duke is selfless to this point, more powerful than Fan Zhongyan, Jiao Yulu and Lei Feng, what else can Wang Ju say?

So Sima Guang was very confused by some people, could it be that Wang Ju held on to his death and asked Sima Guang, Luoyang has three acres of fertile land, three hundred acres, how much is it worth, just to bury his wife, not to bury the emperor, do you have to pay one or two thousand yuan of money? It costs more than 1,000 to bury a dead person, how can the other people of the Song Dynasty live?

And Sima Guang wrote a letter to Sima Kang, in which he said that everyone is proud of extravagance, and my heart is only frugal and beautiful. Everyone scorns me for being stubborn, and I don't think I'm sick.

However, if Sima Guang is not scheming, whether this style is true and simple, or false simplicity, at least in the current Song Dynasty, it is worth promoting.

Therefore, in Sima Kang's heart, Sima Guangnai is a perfect father.

So Wang Ju did this, can Sima Kang not be in a hurry?

Regarding Sima Kang's approach, Zhao Ji has never asked.

Sima Guang is not a good Dongdong, but Wang Ju did this a little too much.

However, with the arrival of copper, and Sima Kang actually wanted to bewitch Fan Chunren, Zhao Ji changed his mind.

Under the joint efforts of Wang Ju and Zhang Qi, the front line is advancing step by step, and it is more stable than Mount Tai.

Moreover, both of them attach importance to governance, and the front has been promoted, and various governance measures have also been implemented, so the promotion of a piece is equivalent to the Song Dynasty officially occupying a piece.

But this tactic has a fatal drawback, and that is the cost.

With the same use of soldiers, the cost of the two may be more than ten times that of Wang Shao. It can't be said that the two of them are not good at this kind of fighting, compared with Wang Shao's use of troops, although the cost is higher, but the management behind is convenient, and the rebellion is also reduced, at least at the moment, I don't see a rebellion in the place where it is advanced. The Qiang tribes of the Tibetan tribe are more focused, that is, all kinds of hidden dangers in the future will be resolved by the two from now on.

Besides, where can I find another Wang Shao?

has won many victories, but the money is used like flowing water, and Zhao Ji feels heartache.

Therefore, the arrival of this batch of copper on the other side is also a timely rain, at least the future infrastructure costs of the Hehuang and Hexi corridors can be solved.

The income of 8 million yuan in the past three years is not a small number.

This is the great loyalty.

And Sima Kang found Fan Chunren, if he let him say that Fan Chunren was moved, Fan Chunren would be the ruler of the Zhongshu, once he stood on Sima Guang's side again and opposed Wang Ju, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So Zhao Ji summoned Sima Kang in the Yanhe Palace, and asked first: "I heard that your father is seriously ill, and you are not serving your father in Lianshui, why did you come to the capital to stir up trouble?" ”

Sima Kang raised his head and replied: "Your Majesty, my father's illness is the prince's father, and if the court does not punish Wang Taibao, my father's condition will not improve." ”

"Are you saying that the national fortunes of the entire Great Song Dynasty are not as important as your father?"

"Your Majesty, meritorious service should be rewarded, and excessive punishment should be given, so that meritorious heroes will not be favored with merit, and proud with favor. Wang Taibao did something wrong, and the court must punish him. Even if it is not appropriate to punish Wang Taibao, it is necessary to punish that Han Yun. ”

Han Yun can't be punished, he is presiding over Helan Shi, that is a deadly weapon!

"What you are talking about is nothing more than Wang Ju asking his servants to accuse your father of ****, villain, and erection."

"Exactly."

Not only that, but it also made a group of buddies insult loudly, but this question is a little unclear. The imperial court is in the open side. It can't be said that these soldiers are rough and savage. And Sima Guang's appeasement policy has not had a market under the current repeated victories.

Then what can impeach Wang Ju is nothing more than Wang Ju's accusation of Han Yun against Sima Guang.

Zhao Ji snuggled his mouth, and the small yellow door next to him took out a large stack of records of Sima Guang's conversation in the court from behind, as well as the storage of his recitals, Zhao Ji said: "Sima Kang, you flip through it yourself, your father has attacked Prince An **** ninety-eight times just on these records." Villain, Shaft, and other more unpleasant titles, which were used more than four hundred times, attacked other ministers. ”

This is archived, and the actual number of times may be more than two or three times that number!

"Without Wang Jiefu's changes, the country would not be able to make up for the debts, but your father attacked nearly a hundred times."

"Wang Shao recovered the Xihe River for the country, once made the Great Song Dynasty prosperous, and also made your father attack more than 30 times."

"As long as you don't go along with your father's claims. Almost every important retainer has been attacked by your father. ”

"As for Gong Wen, Duke Fu. Han Gong, even if it is Su Shi, as long as you are good friends with your father, you are all gentlemen and ministers. ”

"Sima Kang, I ask you, is this really the case?"

What does this mean, Sima Guang is resisting the party! Where did Sima Kang dare to answer?

"The one who disagrees with your father is a **** villain, it's okay for your father to attack others with these titles, but it's not okay for others to attack your father with these titles, and you're going to get sick soon...... Does that mean that what your father says must be true, and that everyone, including those who dislike your father, must have great respect for your father...... This is the world of the Great Song Dynasty, or the world of your Sima family! ”

In other words, is your father the emperor, or am I the emperor?

Even if I am impeached by the minister, I will not be angry, and I will not get sick immediately.

Sima Kang changed color.

Fan Chunren sighed secretly below.

In fact, when Sima Kang entered Beijing, Fan Chunren secretly persuaded Sima Kang that now the imperial court has recovered Huangzhou and Western Xia, which is to destroy two powerful countries in a row, although Wang Ju can't do that...... In Fan Chunren's heart, he must be very dissatisfied with Wang Ju's approach, but he has to take care of the overall situation and endure it.

But Sima Kang didn't listen, so the situation became bigger and bigger, and when the trouble got bigger, the emperor was forced to express his position, either to appease Sima Guang and others, is that possible? Either you want to appease Wang Ju, what will happen to you?

The end is coming.

Zhao Ji asked again: "Sima Kang, who sent someone to assassinate Wang Zi'an?" ”

"Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with my father."

"What about the small case, what about the assassination of Cheng Yi?"

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." Sima Kang can't say that it may be Wang Ju's bitter trick, what about the evidence? Just like some people suspect that Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang are behind the scenes, but without evidence, they can't deal with Wen Yanbo and Sima Guang.

"You impeach Wang Zi'an, I will talk about Wang Zi'an, at the beginning of Xining, the 300,000 troops of Western Xia invaded Gyeongju, and the hearts of the entire Northwest people fluctuated, who defeated the 300,000 Xia army for me? Jiaozhi innocent invasion and killed hundreds of thousands of people in Yongzhou, who was the one who restored Jiaozhi for me, wiped out Dali, and solved the border trouble in the southwest in one fell swoop? Who returned to the capital from overseas and broke through the world of small governance for me? Who made the whole Quang Nam West Road rich for me? Who is going to the snowy plateau for me? Such a minister was actually attacked by your father as a ****, be careful, Zhuzi, do I continue to use a group of so-called gentlemen in your father's mouth to continue to accumulate poverty and weakness like Renzong did in his later years! ”

Not only is it poor, but it is super poor, and it owes more than 160 million domestic debts!

But most of this is Zhao Shuji's virtue, and Zhao Ji is not good to say it in depth.

"Let this be the end of this matter, and you will have a word to your father on my behalf, that you should not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If he still sees himself as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, the past two years have been related to whether the Great Song Dynasty is really Zhongxing, so be quiet at this time. ”

After finishing speaking, let the guards drag Sima Kang down.

There is no treatment, but it is more serious than any treatment.

This is also a weather vane, and then Cai did successively demote the ministers who wrote some time ago, or release them.

But even Cai Qu didn't dare to deal with Wen Yanbo. He was also depressed, this old guy was eighty years old, why didn't he die.

Wen Yanbo did not die, but Wang Anshi died this winter.

When Sima Guang heard Sima Kang's report, he became even more angry, which led to the aggravation of his condition, and soon after Wang Anshi's death, Sima Guang also fell ill and died.

Wang Anshi died, the court was quieter, and it was no longer Wang Anshi's time.

Sima Guang is dead, and the court is also quiet, so let's deal with it coldly, otherwise it will cause a lot of controversy.

But when people die, there are a lot of articles to do, Wen Yanbo wrote in Chizhou, saying that Chizhou is damp, and after the old minister came to Chizhou, his health deteriorated, and he asked the court to let the old minister pay tribute, and also asked the court to allow the old minister to live quietly for the rest of his life.

It may be that northerners are not used to going to the south, but Chizhou is mountainous and cannot be regarded as a humble and humid place. And this quietly survived the rest of his life, it was quite meaningful, it was obviously a pleading, but it was actually to accuse the court of injustice, Sima Guang was forced to return to his hometown in Lianshui, Wang Ju still did not let go, and sent so many rude soldiers to the door to humiliate, but the court not only did not punish Wang Ju, but cooperated with Wang Ju to humiliate Sima Guang again.

What's this called?

However, Wang Ju also arrived in the capital.

The New Year is approaching, but news came from the north that the Liao State had stationed some additional troops on the border, which made the court very worried, and it happened that the front line was located in a cold place, and it would not be possible to use troops again until at least February and March next year, so the court recalled Wang Ju back in the name of debriefing.

In fact, this is also inevitable, not only this year, but also next year, Wang Ju may be recalled back to report on his work, because some are not clear in the recital, and some are not good to write in the recital, so Wang Ju must be asked to return to Beijing and make a statement in person.

Therefore, the house in Wang Jujing City has not yet been handed over to Zhang Gui, and it is still useful for the time being.

Wang Ju returned to the capital, but Zhao Ji did not come out, and Zhang Dian whispered: "Taibao, Duke Wen asked for Zhishi." ”

"Huh?" Wang Ju snorted indifferently.

Zhishi, the imperial court can no longer be used?

However, compared with Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo's consequences will be smaller, at least he will not "sell the country for glory".

"However, Duke Wen said a sentence in the recital, asking the court to give him a quiet rest of his life."

"These people are mad, Di Qing is dead when he dies, Wang Shao is dead when he dies, and Jiefu Gong is dead when he dies, but Fu Bi can't die, it's my fault if I die, it's my fault that the court is wrong, Your Majesty's fault, Sima Guang can't die, otherwise it's my fault, the court's fault, Your Majesty's fault, is it the court's invitation to the gods to come, let them live forever?"

Even if these people are angry, it's okay to be fair, how did Di Qing get angry, Ouyang Xiu, Wen Yanbo and others kept pouring sewage, and Di Qing was so angry that he had a back attack and died, why did the court treat it as if nothing happened?

Fan Chunren's mouth opened on the side, Wang Ju's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw it, and he said, "Fan Gong, do you know why I sent soldiers to the door to question Sima Guang?" (To be continued.) )
