Wang Ju was really angry this time.

Now his time is incomparably precious, it's not that Zhao Ji doesn't believe him, it's that Zhao Ji said that he would fall.

Wang Ju said that after the battle of Mingsha City, there will be another Helan stone, after Zhang Qi is transferred to Hedong, and then in the battle of Yinzhou, within three years, it is enough to settle the Western Xia, this leveling, not only to take the Western Xia, but also to suppress the rebellion behind.

But there is also a primary premise, that is, Zhao Ji is still alive......

However, now with the addition of another Tubo, even if it takes three years, it is a little tight, and at this critical time, Sima Guang has made another trick to drag his feet, so that Wang Ju can endure it.

But some people, such as Li Qingchen, thought in their hearts that it was too vulgar to say, this is finally a vegetable market at the court meeting?

But Wang Ju's words immediately made Li Qingchen close his open mouth.

"Your Majesty, do you remember the light mud on your side?"

Zhao Ji nodded.

Qingni Huai is the general of the Western Xia, and the chief of a large tribe in Hengshan, with more than 10,000 soldiers under his control, mainly where he is close to the Song Dynasty, on the side of the Great Wall Ridge in Yanzhou, once he defects to the Song Dynasty, no matter how it is used, it will be a heavy blow to the Western Xia. But someone may have leaked the secret, Cheng Kan reported to the court in front, and sent someone to appease Xixia later, and there was no more...... If someone really leaked the secret, Sima Guang was the first object of suspicion. Not only did he reject war, but he also had a personal vendetta with Cheng Kan. (See previous article for specific reasons)

What's more, the case of cursing the prince for not dying well, and Sima Guang's head was also found. But there is no conclusive evidence. Again, it doesn't work.

"Your Majesty. The minister didn't understand very well, Tubo broke through Taozhou, and Western Xia invaded Dingxi City, this news may be known to many people, but Ali Gu is good at killing thousands of familiar Tibetans such as Jing Humu, and Liang Yikui is burning and plundering in Nanhuizhou, and there are not many ministers who know. ”

This sentence may not be understood by future generations, but I often read history books. You will see this sentence: A minister "privately leaked and banned Chinese ......" and was demoted.

If you don't read history books often, it is Lin Chong who mistakenly broke into the White Tiger Hall.

That is, it is okay for ministers to handle official affairs in various ministries and departments, but don't publicize these official affairs everywhere, of course, you can tell these official affairs to more reliable doormen, and let them be a staff officer, but if these doormen are not tight-mouthed and spread out, they will also be sad.

As long as it spreads out, it will be demoted immediately. This is the so-called private leakage of Chinese language......

The White Tiger Hall is the Shuai Mansion. Lin Chong was framed by Gao Yu and came to the front of the Shuaifu. There were many confidential intelligence documents in the Shuai's mansion, so they were confiscated. Of course, this paragraph is fictional, in fact, among the so-called six thieves of Song Huizong, Gao Yu is not bad, and many powerful generals, including Han Shizhong, have grown up in his hands, at least Gao Yu will not do this kind of thing. Even if the Sea Alliance made a mistake, who would have thought that a group of raw girls would be so strong at that time? Yelu Dashi, who has been unknown all the time, is so awesome? Not even inferior to Yue Fei! Now Wang Ju is not using the birth of a girl to contain the Liao State?

But these novels can't be taken seriously, such as Jiang Gan in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Su Dingfang, the villain in the Romance of the Tang Dynasty, how wrong. or the villains in the Yang family's generals, Pan Renmei's original form Pan Mei, Di Qing, and Pang Taishi's original form Pang Ji, are all more wronged than Gao Yu.

But whether it's a fictional novel or a history book, the truth is the same.

So state affairs, local officials have no right to know? I still have the right to know, that is, Di Bao, which is equivalent to the People's Daily of later generations, and the major affairs that can be made public will be distributed to officials in various places with Di Bao, and those that cannot be made public, whether it is Di Bao or People's Daily, cannot be seen.

However, the problem is, those who know this news, but twenty or thirty important ministers, are "forbidden Chinese", and they are not allowed to leak it, but how did Sima Guang, who is far away in Lianshui, know now?

Li Qingchen was suddenly shocked, he would not leak it like Sima Guang, but he had told several good officials about it at the family banquet the day before yesterday.

He is a minister of the old party, and these officials who are good friends are also ministers of the old party, and he did not leak it, but will these officials leak it?

Thinking like this, Li Qingchen was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound.

Wang Ju said again: "Your Majesty, the minister has always wondered, no matter what happened to the court, maybe even the prime minister doesn't know, but Luoyang will immediately know, whether the three provinces are in the capital, and Luoyang, or now the political hall has moved to Shushui?" ”

Zhang Dian said: "Relegate this thief to the other side." ”

With Sima Guang's actions, it is not too much to stay on the other side for two or three years.

Wang Ju shook his head: "He is finally old, they can assassinate me, but I can't get a human life, this is the bottom line." ”

If he hadn't been afraid of this, Wang Ju would have gotten Sima Guang to the other side a long time ago.

"The reason why I said it was because I was worried that his plausible remarks could confuse the hearts of some ministers, and the front-line soldiers were fighting bloody battles, and if they worked hard, they would win great victories one after another, and if they slackened, they would fail miserably one after another. Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, if Li Jing and Li Ji use troops to capture them, but the court is drawing back ladders, can they defeat a strong enemy? Why don't I worry about Liao, Liaoguo is almost the same as my dynasty......"

It is really not clear whether the Liao State will use troops.

However, the various kings of the Liao State have also made a detailed analysis before, the emperor of the Liao State is close to the Han culture, and he is not very evil to the Song Dynasty, although he has blackmailed once, but since Xiao Feng, the fun sworn brother, ascended the throne, including the phenomenon of fighting grass valleys on the border, this is also a proof.

The Liao aristocracy was content with pleasures, so the "peace faction" gradually gained the upper hand.

There are also 500,000 years old, it is not 500,000 yuan, it is silver and silk, as long as it is transported to Liao, even if it is Xinguan, it is equivalent to more than 1 million guan, this income is not a small number for Liao.

Moreover, the commercial and trade exchanges between the two countries involved many interests, which were a little better for the Song Dynasty, especially for the Liao State, these commercial interests were more important, so there would be many nobles who spontaneously opposed the use of troops against the Song Dynasty.

and the increasing inaction of the Liao monarchs.

These reasons doomed the Liao State to react very slowly even if it sent troops.

Moreover, Wang Ju also made a three-step arrangement, the temptation of miscellaneous grains. Border arming. and the rebellion on the Jurchen side.

Again. If it wants to harm the Song Dynasty, it must have a primary premise, that is, the three kingdoms work together to attack the Song Dynasty.

However, now that Tubo and Western Xia have just begun to join forces, they are each pregnant with ghosts, how can they expect the three kingdoms to work together?

Wang Ju clicked it again, and Zhao Ji and some important ministers would also understand.

Of course, Wang Ju will not elaborate. Otherwise, it may be leaked to the enemy again.

"But from today onwards, no matter what government affairs are, everyone, you must not leak letters with the ministers of Luoyang or other regions, otherwise you will be severely punished."

Look, Wang Juduo "knows the general situation"?

This is the difference between Wang Ju and Wang Anshi, Wang Anshi is quite like a stupid pony, and Sima Guang is similar to the treacherous Xiaoying, if replaced by Wang Anshi. Maybe it's causing some trouble again.

But with Wang Ju, it's completely different.

So far. The reputation of Sima Guang and others has become more and more stinky.

Think about it, how controversial it will be if Gao Taotao uses these ministers again in the future.

But this, Wang Ju will not say to anyone, including Zhang Dan.

After the dispersal, Zhang Dian caught up and asked, "Taibao, that's it?" ”

"That's it, so far, is it possible for me to learn from him too, and be angry? Sima Guang did this, nothing more than to learn from Zhao Pu (after Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, suppressed Zhao Pu, before the second Northern Expedition, Zhao Pu opposed the Song Dynasty to send troops, and sure enough, the Northern Expedition was defeated, and Zhao Pu got the position), but the front-line commanders and generals were Zhang Zhifu, Miao Zhu, Wang Guangyu, they were not Cao Gong (Cao Bin)...... And even if Western Xia and Tubo join forces, they are not as good as the troika of Empress Dowager Xiao, Han Derang and Yelu Huge. ”

There is a sentence in the back that Wang Juwei said, the person who commands the court is me, not Song Taizong!

"As long as the front line is victorious, these noises will disappear."

…………

Liang Yiqi couldn't sit still.

At the beginning, he received a piece of good news, a puzzled message.

The good news is that Yuzang Huama agreed to cooperate with him to use troops in the rear of Dingxi City, but now he can't use troops, and he must wait until Tubo uses troops in Hezhou, and the three parties use troops at the same time, so that Yuzang Huama's soldiers can be regarded as a valuable surprise soldier.

Therefore, Liang Yikui secretly sent someone to inform Yu Zang Huama, he can't raise troops now, and it's not too late to wait for my news to use troops.

In fact, Yuzang Hua Ma also breathed a sigh of relief.

Liang Yiwei sent an envoy to contact Yu Zanghua Ma, and Yu Zang Hua Ma was not hesitant, but frightened.

You 100,000 soldiers and horses, you can't take a Pingxi Fortress, not to mention the bigger Anxi City behind?

Let Lao Tzu cooperate with you.

He didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reported to Wang Wenyu nearby, Wang Wenyu was also one of the important generals in this battle. He knew the whole plan, so he ordered Yu to hide Huama, and you told the Xia envoy to agree to send troops, and drag them here first. After the matter is completed, I will report your merits to the imperial court, and maybe you will be replaced by the young master of the regiment this time.

Don't think about the three dukes, but the three young ones are not bad, although it is only a high-ranking official, not even a real official, but if you get the three less, then when you meet the magistrate of the Song Dynasty, the magistrate will be much more polite.

But Yu Zang Huama didn't pay attention to this Shaobao at all, but was more careful, because Wang Wenyu said that dragging Xia Jun was obviously a bigger conspiracy. He thought of Song Zhong's message again, although I am in the capital, everything is under my control.

Thinking about it like this, then dare to be confused again?

And Wang Ju's four questions did play a role.

So he met with the Xia envoy under false pretense and pretended to agree.

But the truth will eventually be revealed, and now that Xixia has taken the initiative to let him postpone the time to start the army, it will undoubtedly be the best.

Now the three parties are playing with the heart eye, it depends on who plays smartly in the end......

But this battle also surprised some important ministers of the Song Dynasty, perhaps this is the real war, and the same as the court battle, it is full of all kinds of conspiracies. In the past, war was thought of too simply.

There is another piece of news that makes Liang Yi puzzled, that is Mingsha City.

The Song Dynasty has taken Mingsha City, in order to take care of the overall situation, Liang Yi simply ignored it for the time being, it seems that there is nothing wrong with this idea, if this conference battle, the Song Dynasty loses, Western Xia can not only get Lanzhou and Dingxi City. It is also possible to easily kill a back carbine. Take advantage of the momentum of the big victory. What is Xiao Guan, it is difficult to take it back, isn't it very simple to take it back in Mingsha City? At least topographically, it does.

However, he received a piece of news that after the Song army took Mingsha City, it demolished a large number of houses in the city, and coerced the prisoners of war and the people in the city, as well as 100,000 Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians. The walls and towers of some cities within the city were quickly built, and most of these walls were tic-tac-toe or hollow-shaped, turning the small Mingsha City into a maze array.

What did the Song Dynasty want to do?

He was still very clever, and asked the Song army if he had moved a large amount of hay and firewood into Mingsha City, which was the burning of Anjiang Fort in the Battle of Qingzhou, and the scout came back to report that no, only a small amount of firewood was moved, after all, 100,000 soldiers and civilians had to eat and cook, which is also normal.

Ten days later. The walls of these cities have been repaired one after another, and they cannot be regarded as real city walls. As long as there are two or three people walking on it, it doesn't even take into account its long-term sturdiness, so it can be built quickly. So much so that after the Song army retreated, a summer rain came, and a wall collapsed, and then the Song army that remained had to rebuild.

Then the Song army withdrew, 100,000 soldiers and civilians, a day of consumption is terrifying, the army held nearly a thousand prisoners of war, some withdrew to Xiaoguan, and some began to retreat to Pingxia City, this is the army, as for the ordinary people, all have withdrawn to their respective hometowns one after another, the summer harvest is coming, do not delay!

Then let's build it, anyway, I'll ignore Mingsha City for the time being.

But the Song Dynasty came deadly.

The city was demolished in a mess, but the Song army was more benevolent and righteous, and the Western Xia was about to counterattack, so you must withdraw from Mingsha City, there are two choices, one choice, let you withdraw to Lingzhou and other Western Xia territories, but you are the future enemy of our Great Song Dynasty, so you are not allowed to leave with any supplies. The second option is to withdraw to Xiaoguan, and I will send officials to arrange for you to live in a place with abundant water and grass, and at the same time subsidize each family with a settling-in allowance of 20 yuan and 10 stone of temporary food, and also allow you to take all your valuable materials with you, and leave behind any of the bulky grain, grass and furniture. In fact, it turned out that each household was subsidized with a settlement fee of 50 yuan, anyway, after so many years of fighting in Western Xia, there are not many people around, and all of them will not exceed 10,000 households together. Although it costs some money, it is worth it by virtue of this counter-effect and the effect of shaking the people's hearts. However, because of the Tibetan army, the money can be saved a little, so it is compressed to 20 yuan.

But no matter how you choose, you must leave Mingsha City entirely.

Because the Western Xia also blocked the news, some people did not know much about the taxes of the Song Dynasty, so the Song army sent a special person to explain the tax system of the Song Dynasty to the Tibetan people.

Compare for yourself.

There are still people who don't believe it, but the main general who stayed behind will be Lin Guang, and the deputy will be Zhe Keshi and Chong Pu, especially Zhe Keshi himself is a party member, and they also let the staff with them write the relevant arrears and stamp their own seals, and after arriving at the settlement, they can pay for money and food with this arrears.

So most of the people retreated to Xiaoguan, and some people, especially the nobles in the city, fled to Lingzhou with their whole families, Lin Guang really didn't pursue it.

There are not many people in the city, and the key is the surrounding area.

Lin Guang stayed in the city to take care of the overall situation, Zhe Keshi and Chongpu took his men to attack, and the practice was the same as in the city, coercing the people of nearby villages and villages, bringing grain, grass and some materials to the city, and even the grain and grass in the distance were not wanted, and continued to publicize the tax policy of the Song Dynasty, and then let them choose for themselves, and those who withdrew to Lingzhou should not take anything away, and those who withdrew to Xiaoguan and defected to the Song Dynasty were allowed to carry their valuable goods and livestock at home.

Then the people were cleared out, and the fire began, and all the houses and furniture in the village were burned down. In this way, the people have only two choices, either flee to Lingzhou, there are really any, especially some people have soldiers in the Western Xia army, and they can't ignore their sons and husbands. However, many people reluctantly retreated to Xiao Pass with tears in their eyes.

But the Song Dynasty did not lie, not only the twenty settling-in expenses were real, but also the gold, silver, jewelry and other valuable goods brought by the people, and livestock, there were no officers and soldiers along the way to plunder and extort, on the contrary, Zhang Qi also appointed officers and soldiers to protect their private property all the way, but the settlement point was a little far away, not in the southern area of Xiaoguan, but in Weiyuan.

This is also a location that Wang Ju deliberately chose, first of all, Weiyuan is still empty, except for a part of the archer fields, the rest of the part is used as pasture, but most of the area is still uninhabited.

That is, this area can settle many people.

Secondly, the surrounding area is full of Tibetan people. This party member is enshrined here. Instead, it will play a role in diversion.

About that. Wang Ju also said that day when he talked about Li Shimin's mistakes in the national policy, he wanted to use both grace and power, and if he wanted to find a way to integrate, if it really didn't work, he would divide them up, and he must no longer be like the Tang Dynasty, in order to facilitate management, a leader was selected in the fetter area. Because of the disaster of Nanzhao. In fact, Wang Ju also did this, after the Song Dynasty got Juzhou and other places, those Southwest Yi chieftains came to the dynasty, Wang Juyi asked them to build a few trade roads, and the second was to canonize them on a large scale, even if it is a small village, it will also become a feudal county, and several small villages are put together, which is a feudal state, that is, the forces of each department are getting smaller and smaller.

I can't sinicize it.。 This is a best course of action, just like the YN region of ****. Dozens of nationalities, on the contrary, are very quiet.

As for doing so, it would be even easier to do it if the population of the Western Xia region became smaller and smaller in the future. If you want a population, isn't it too much, Hedong Road because of the shortage of arable land, one acre of Zhongtian has risen to four or five yuan, and the states east of Chang'an are also densely populated, it's really not good, and the Hanzhong area, just migrate. Then on the contrary, Han and Tibetan are mixed and easy to blend. Of course, we have to block the spread of the radical religion of Black Khan, otherwise there will be a big mess when the Han and Tibetan are mixed. Maybe Wang Ju's views are a little extreme, anyway, under his persuasion, the Song Dynasty regarded this religion as a cult like Maitreya, and banned the spread of it in the Song Dynasty. On the other side, even Catholicism and Christianity are forbidden...... In particular, seafarers are really easy to come into contact with these religions, so they have to guard against them.

But along the way, the imperial court did not slow down, not only sent people to protect their property, but also provided free forage for livestock and grain and grass for the people along the way. For those who do not have tents, the government also provides tents.

Of course, after arriving in Weiyuan, I still have to endure a hard life, twenty yuan of money, which seems to be a lot, but it is actually very tense to build a house and buy furniture and farm tools. But after surviving this year, then compared with Western Xia, it is undoubtedly in heaven, and even the war cannot be affected here. Compare the practices of the Xixia people, why did Shaanxi Road sacrifice 600,000 soldiers and civilians in the first two years, mainly Yongle City! Many of the 300,000 soldiers and civilians were defeated and surrendered, but all of them were killed by the Tanguts! That's why there are so many casualties.

This is a conspiracy.

Our taxes in the Song Dynasty are indeed very light, can you do it in Western Xia?

Once these news spread throughout the territory of Western Xia, what kind of consequences would it bring?

Moreover, this is the core area of Western Xia, thousands of families fled to the Song Dynasty, and even some people were desperate, regardless of their sons who were still in the army, and fled to the Song Dynasty, what impact would it bring?

Xixia didn't ask if it was okay, anyway, most of the two generals were cavalry, and they continued to expand this behavior.

The fatal thing is that the water and grass here are abundant, and it is an important granary of Western Xia, once the people here are wiped out by the Song Dynasty, Western Xia is also sad.

Song Jun can't be allowed to play like this anymore.

Liang Yi was instigated, so he had to give an order to let the Western Xia gather a large army from Lingzhou and Helan Mountain, forcibly take back Mingsha City, and after recovering Mingsha City, he rushed to build several forts in sinister places such as Killing Niu Ling to block the Song army from going north.

The flames of war spread to Mingsha City again......

…………

The horses have also arrived.

But these horses were not given to the imperial court, but were sold to the imperial court for thirty cents each. Of course, there will be no opposition from the ministers, firstly, they are indeed tall and good horses, and secondly, they are transported from the distant shore.

If nothing else, the cost of shipping is also very staggering. This is not to load goods, but to load horses, a large Mulan boat can carry 30,000 stones, but it can only carry three or four thousand people at most, and the ship must be modified, otherwise even three thousand or four people cannot be loaded. As for loading a horse, it's harder than loading a person. But how much does a Mulan boat cost per transport?

In fact, there is no loss, but at this price, selling to the imperial court, the other side makes a pitiful profit.

But this may be the last time it will be sold to the Song Dynasty, first of all, there are so many high-war horses after hybridization, and in the future, since the two continents that are more distant have been explored, a large number of war horses will be needed for conquest, transportation, or transmission of news.

These are not known to the Song Dynasty.

The war horse came, and the youngest son of the concubine and Wang Ju, Wang Kai, also came, he was born in Quanzhou, and it was just the time to open up the other side, so he took the name of the opener.

In fact, the concubine was slightly repulsed by this family business. His son is several years older than the little lady of the Li family.

But Wang Ju also explained the matter in the letter. I have to thank Lao Wang for his kindness. Without Lao Wang, can he become a governor, and without the experience of participating in political affairs, can he become the prime minister as soon as he comes back?

As for how many years apart, it's not a teenager, it's really not good, let's take a concubine in the future. It's the other side anyway. There are not as many rules as in the Song Dynasty.

The concubine had no complaints.

In fact, if the little lady of the Li family grows up and continues to study like in history, even Wang Kai may not be able to match her. Maybe in the future, on the other side of the river, in terms of poetry, I am afraid that no one can compare with this woman.

And Wang Ju did this, many people applauded, and he was grateful before his death, which is called climbing feelings. Lao Wang is grateful when he dies, this is the real gratitude.

The concubine returned. When the hostess came, the servants of the house immediately prepared exquisite dishes and warmly welcomed them.

Wang Ju touched his youngest son's head and said, "Yes, I have grown a little taller." ”

At this time, he was not a scheming Song Quanchen, but a father full of fatherly love.

The concubine said: "It's just playful." ”

"Kai'er, as you grow up, you have to learn," Wang Ju said.

The concubine said, "Your Highness has brought some gifts for the official family and a few little eldest princesses and princes. ”

Hearing that the concubine came back, Zhao Niannu found some precious jade coral from the other side, as well as nearly 100 rare and precious snails such as Tang crown snails, phoenix tail snails, and nautilus shells offered by seafarers, which were also very rare in the Song Dynasty, and some were of great value.

Then he instructed Concubine Li to bring these gifts to her three younger sisters, as well as several well-connected clan children, and Zhao Ji himself.

After all, it was her relatives.

"You can send it over tomorrow, Your Highness, is she okay?"

"It's okay, but Your Highness, she asked the concubine to ask the official, Tianci is gradually growing up, is she looking for a woman on the other side, or is she looking for a woman in the inland?"

The other side will be divided into three parts in the future, Zhao Tianci is still surnamed Zhao, and he is in charge of the current territory, after all, he has a close relationship with Zhao and Song, and this is also the closest place to the Song Dynasty in the future, so use this to contact the feelings of both sides.

As for the remaining two plots of land, it is one for each person, not only to not favor one over the other, but to have a mutual support in the future.

After all, it is a new system, but it is not easy to say, there will be no careerists in the future, and the three parties are each other's horns, and even if careerists are produced, they will be afraid. As long as we spend two or three hundred years in peace, when this system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it will be safe. And because they all have a vast living space to open up, Wang Ju is not worried about cannibalism in the future. Or the three areas are densely populated, and I don't know if it will be five or six hundred years, with the current emphasis on science and technology on the other side, five or six hundred years later, it will have already entered a new era...... Besides, that would be thinking so long-term.

But at present, the other side really needs the Great Song Dynasty, even if it develops to an equal footing with the Great Song Dynasty, the trade between the two sides will be beneficial to the Song Dynasty and will be of great help to the other side.

Therefore, Wang Ju thought for a while and said: "Tianci is still small, so let's write another letter back, if His Royal Highness really wants to be engaged, or ask for her and Tianci's opinion, if they are interested in looking for a little lady in the Central Plains, then I will tell the official family." ”

"Official?"

"Concubine, you also know, even in the future, I don't want to be too alienated from the Song Dynasty, this is our root, our hometown, otherwise I wouldn't have worked so hard for the Song Dynasty. Let the official family be the master, in fact, it is also a disguised way to get closer to the imperial court. Only when we are strong together can this race be strong, instead of being bullied and bullied by people of different races more and more humiliating......"

"That'll do fine." What is the race, it is undoubtedly too heavy for the concubine, but when her husband said so, she agreed.

"If they agree, let the official family send someone to find a good lady from a family next year, and before we go back the year after tomorrow, let Tianci take this little lady to the other side. If they want to find a little lady nearby, they will have to wait for me to go back. ”

In fact, even in the year after the Queen, Zhao Tianci was not yet twenty years old, but Wang Ju could not return to the Song Dynasty in the future, so he had to deal with it.

The concubine took Qiongniang's hand again: "Qiongniang, I have wronged you again." ”

"In the capital, what grievances are there," Qiong Niang said with a grin, and then asked about the situation of several children, and handed them over to Zhao Niannu to take care of.

The three brutal battles ahead are about to begin...... But Wang Ju's family chattered and talked homely, which made Wang Ju spend a rare warm day. (To be continued.) )
