Chapter 277: A New Oath
The White Leopard City Lord's general, Ye Wuzhuo, was so angry that he immediately wanted to lead his troops out of the city and kill Mao Nurong.
One of his junior colonels immediately grabbed him: "General Yewu, no, there are only dozens of strong horses of the Song Dynasty under the city, not even soldiers, why do they dare to come to the city to shout?" ”
If things are abnormal, there must be demons.
Yewu Zhuo immediately stopped gathering troops.
"General Yewu, besides, that Wang Zhixian is ruthless, unimaginable, have you ever heard the story of the nine corpses welcoming guests?"
"What nine corpses welcome?"
"General Yewu, this Nine Corpses Welcome Guest has killed General Ye Wei miserably, let me tell you," Yelu Zhuo Kui did not participate in the Battle of Qingxichuan, and the junior colonel did not participate in the Battle of Qingxichuan, but it was too evil that night, and the Nine Corpses welcomed guests too evilly, and the Song Dynasty blocked the news here, and only a dozen parties knew about it, even Cai Ting didn't know about it. But on the side of Western Xia, it was turned upside down.
In the mouth of this little school, it is almost a demonic and evil version of the nine corpses to welcome guests, which makes people feel even more terrifying.
After hearing this, goosebumps fell all over his body. The little colonel said: "This is what these strong horses said about life can not live, death can not die. ”
"Don't say it, what now?"
"Forget it, they also got the ballast fort, which can threaten White Leopard City in both directions, our garrison is here, and the number of troops is small, more is better than less."
The two discussed for a while, and Ye Wu Zhuo finally gave in. The little school went out of the city, came to Mao Nu Rongyan, and said in a low voice: "Even if your family Wang Zhixian and Liangzhai have an old relationship, you can't ask for people so publicly." ”
As soon as Mao Nurong heard that there was a play, she immediately came to her senses, and said proudly: "What's the matter, our little king is still afraid that you won't succeed?" ”
"I can't say that, General Yewu also has to give an account to the lord of the country. In this way, there is a small road over there, which leads directly to Mimo Village, you wait for half an hour and then pass, General Yewu will order the soldiers at the outpost on that path to withdraw, and also order the soldiers guarding the two villages to withdraw, where do you go from, let the people of the two villages put down their heavy luggage, and immediately withdraw to your Song Realm? ”
"What are you trying to do!"
"No matter how conspiratorial you play, it's not your family's Wang Zhixian's opponent. If you are not at ease, I swear by the fate of the nine corpses. ”
"What nine corpses welcome?"
"Wang Zhixian sent you, why don't you know? Anyway, it's a more vicious oath than the death of the whole family. Besides, you only have dozens of strong horses, what credit can we make for you? ”
This is a fact, Mao Nurong will accept it when she sees it.
Half an hour later, they inserted themselves into the path, and sure enough, there was a sentry post, but there was no one in the outpost, and Mao Nu Rong said, "Hurry up." ”
God knows whether the Tangut people are willing or not.
When I ran to the two villages, it was already dark, and it was cold at this time. Mao Nurong immediately ordered the people of the two villages to drop all their luggage, not even the cattle and sheep, and immediately moved forward lightly. But they don't ride horses, so they walk very slowly. It was not until dawn the next day that the post was re-reached.
"Hurry up." Mao Nurong urged. In fact, he was also mistaken, that is, to bring the cattle and sheep, and the Xixia people in the White Leopard City did not dare to do it, now this situation is just right, let's leave early and be safe. It seems that people must be sent to patrol the surrounding villages immediately, so that this situation must not happen again. Hunting mistakenly broke into the summer realm, and you can mistakenly break into Mimo Village from the security army, who believes it? Isn't this purely disgusting and looking for trouble?
Therefore, after receiving the scout's report, the person who knew the inside story let out a long breath.
One by one, I thought to myself, I have to feel the grinding system of the Song Dynasty, this ruthless magistrate will not stay there for too long, at most there will be a year to live, stay up.
As for where he will be transferred in the future, where he can control it, even if he harms people, he will not harm them.
Mao Nurong continued to urge, and at noon, she came to Twenty Pan Fort. When he arrived here, he gradually became safe, and then he asked his subordinates in wonder, "What is the Nine Corpses Welcome?" ”
His subordinates didn't know, and shook their heads one by one. Mao Nurong had no choice but to say to herself: "Is it a new oath on the other side of the mountain?" But it sounds very vicious. ”
In the evening, when he finally approached Dashun City, Li Sangou also brought his subordinates in advance to greet him, and asked what had happened, and he finally understood that this battle would also kill the Tangut people. It can even be said that Wang Ju began to be famous in Western Xia, and it was really famous, not something that scared him. But Li Sangou had mixed feelings in his heart, although he was very dissatisfied with Li Yuanhao, but he had to admit that under the leadership of Li Yuanhao, the Western Xia army was indomitable, so it might be like now?
Of course, he also knew that Wang Ju didn't want to make more trouble at this time, so he also urged the people of the nearly 300 tents in these two villages to leave quickly.
Li Sangou settled the people of the two villages, and went to Wang Ju to report, he had to ask for money and food.
Wang Ju went to Gyeongju City.
Most of the prisoners of war did not know where they were sold, but in order to cope with possible inquiries from the imperial court, Cai Ting insisted on leaving four or five thousand prisoners of war, first letting them build the Xinjiang ballast fort, and now changing the name to Anjiang Fort.
Then roads were built, some important forts on the front line were reinforced, and other projects such as Wang Ju's county school.
However, the weather was getting colder and colder, so many prisoners of war were sent to continue digging coal.
This coal is bituminous coal, and after simple coking, it is still good to use it for forging weapons, but it is not very suitable for civilian use.
So Wang Ju came up with a way, and spent a day taking out the successors from the remnants of the soldiers, and taught them how to build a fireplace.
With a fireplace and charcoal, you can spend a warm winter in a room. Even if there was smoke, it came out of the chimney above. The first is to increase the sales of coal, and the second is to find another way out for these disabled soldiers.
Not only that, Wang Ju also deliberately bought anthracite coal from the rear, taught them how to make coal stoves and honeycomb coal, and then sent people to find anthracite deposits. Once found, it is another way out of entrepreneurship.
In fact, the most difficult thing for these disabled soldiers is the first two years, these two years have passed, they are accustomed to it, they can adapt to the new identity, plus the subsidy of the imperial court, this disguised rescue, the family can still live a happy life, at least people live, better than those who sacrificed.
Cai Ting also expressed his support.
Wang Ju has been in Gyeongju for more than a year, he has only been here for a few months, with Han Qi here, it is impossible to transfer to the two prefectures, and he will probably get an official of the Jiedu envoy, so he has to preside over the defense of Huanqing Road for a long time, and this time also prevents Li Liangzuo from having an accident and the Western Xia counterattack, so he still needs the support of the people. If you want them to fight bravely, this aftermath is very crucial.
This fireplace started from Gyeongju City, and when it was cold, Wang Ju persuaded a large family, and he personally went out to build a fireplace with these wounded soldiers. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will not be difficult in the future. He stayed in Gyeongju for three days before returning.
Li Sangou reported the incident with mixed feelings, and Wang Ju said: "This time will not be too long, at most a year, they will forget the pain, and I will not dare to do it at that time." ”
…………
This battle must have hurt the Tangut people, but to what extent, Wang Ju is not very clear.
But someone is in trouble with Wang Ju.
Prisoners of war were sold to the rear one after another and became mine slaves, and of course the mine owners were happy, the money was well spent.
However, there were too many prisoners of war, and the officials along the way sent messengers to salvage the dead bodies of the Tanguts floating from the Huachi water, and then watched in amazement as the large groups of prisoners of war were tied up with ropes and marched to the rear, not knowing whether to send someone to stop them. I don't dare to stop it, but do you want to report it to the capital?
Some officials pretended to be stunned, and some officials were afraid that something would happen, so they wrote a piece of music and handed it to the capital.
Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang were also dumbfounded.
The main Han Qi is a radical, if these prisoners of war are not dealt with in this way, there are only two ways, one is to stay at the front to work, but is there so much work in the front? And tens of thousands of prisoners of war, how much food do they have to consume a day? Once there is not enough food in front of you, you will eat golden millet and golden rice. The first is to return it to Xixia immediately, so that Han Qi is not reconciled.
At this time, Zhao Shu began to get sick.
He didn't tell the ministers, only Wang Guangyuan knew that his health was getting worse and worse.
Feeling that his time was running out, Zhao Shu began to do some serious things, first of all, he issued an edict to the Ministry of Rites to play the name of Jinshi, no more than 300 people, and no more than the number of Jinshi in the Ming Classics. That is, when it comes to the temple examination, the number will be even less. And from a two-year tribute to a three-year tribute, it became a rule.
This measure is aimed at redundant officials.
In the past, when Zhao Zhen was there, he often performed a special performance of Jinshi Zhuke, which could reach more than 1,000 people, and more than 1,000 people were awarded officials. But how to cut redundant officials, he doesn't have the ability now, he can cut a little bit, at least in the imperial examination, he can cut half of the number of officials.
Then I asked a few prime ministers in Zhongshu: "The water is a disaster, and those who speak are cloudy and do not enter the virtuous, why?" ”
The main thing is the flood pit in the previous two years, otherwise the treasury would not be so tight.
This virtuous refers to a capable minister, a minister with responsibility and virtue, which is also a disguised protest by Yanchen's disappointment with Zhongshu Zaizhi.
A few governors couldn't answer, Ouyang Xiu had no choice, so he had to answer with crooked reasoning, and said: "Since Fu Bi and Han Qi became the country, for more than ten years, the outside has been the supervision department, and the internal government is the provincial government. This is the so-called use of talent. The minister's words are narrow, and he is also a museum. ”
"Why?"
"The method of employing people in the imperial court is to produce two officials from the three halls first, and then from the two officials to the first ruler. The three halls are supplemented by the place of materials, and there were three ways to enter the three halls in the past, and now there are two ways to plug them. ”
"What is a three-way?"
"Jinshi Gaoke, one way, recommended by the minister, two roads, because of the dispatch routine, three roads. In the past, the top five jinshi all had to be examined, and the first place was not less than ten years, and most of them were auxiliary. Today, the first Jinshi has served as a local official examination hall for at least ten years, and those below the second place have not been re-examined, and the high-tech has been blocked. In the past, the minister recommended the test, and then called the test, and now the order is the county lord thin, but there is no pavilion test, it is recommended all the way. Only the people who were sent all the way were still there, and half of them were old and sick. ”
Ouyang Xiu was born in the pavilion, and he often thought that he was proud, that person was not born in the pavilion and became the prime minister, and he was his rival.
If Wang Ju is here, maybe he will be sarcastic, I don't know what Zhang Yuan's background is, isn't he a talent, I don't know what the background of Wang Ming, who is both civil and military, is he stronger than you Ouyang Xiu? I don't know what the background of Zhao Pu, who has only read half of the Analects.
What is the meaning of entering the talent, that is, eclectic talent.
Besides, what kind of strong people in Qian Gu are even more bullshit, and the responsibility of including Fu Bi is not small, although these people are more famous than the other.
But Zhao Shu was clever this time, the so-called pavilion, he didn't take it seriously, he read a few scriptures, and he could cure the country? So in ancient times, there was no scripture and righteousness, wouldn't there be no way to govern the country?
But the later recommendation was adopted, and the four people were raised, a total of 28 people were raised, including Xia Yi, Cai Yanqing, Zhang Dian, An Tao, Li Qingchen, Liu Zhi, Wang Cun and others. Think about the story of Zhang Dian, An Shou and Liu Zhi......
Han Qi thought it was too much, and Zhao Shu said: "Since it is a public move, it is not bad to think about it, how can it be too much?" Besides, it's just a library job exam and grinding. ”
However, he was still a little disappointed, but it was difficult to say, because there was one person missing, but this person was indeed too small.
It can be said that the two measures in the past few days are the best measures he has done since he became emperor.
Subsequently, Zhao Shu's condition worsened.
I couldn't hide it, and some important ministers gradually heard the news.
So at this time, Han Qi is not good to hand over to Zhao Shu to deal with, but how to deal with it? He also had a headache. At this moment, Sima Guang heard this news, what kind of words is this, is it unbearable! R1152
