Chapter 564: Take a Step Back

Jiao Wengui was stunned all of a sudden, where he stood, he couldn't go, he didn't go.

"Happy," Liu Changzuo, who was sitting on the side, thought in his heart.

Lu Ning hurriedly played a round and said, "Wang Zhizhou, I have read the letter you wrote to the Prime Minister, and I have also heard about your personality. The truce between the two countries will benefit thousands of families. ”

"Yes, but I found out that our neighbor Da Song is a robber who never repents, so what should I do? So now my idea is that it is better to kill this robber, although the people of the country will suffer a little, but they can be used for future generations. ”

There were many scholars in the Song Dynasty who were not interested in expanding their territory.

After destroying the Western Xia, there are still Uighurs in the west, and after the Uighurs are destroyed, there are new countries over there. And the larger the territory, the more difficult it is to manage, unlike the Central Plains, where there is a Yellow River, the Grand Canal and the Yangtze River, as well as many tributaries, which can control the cost of transportation.

It can only be said that there are still some people who have been "dead set on not changing" in the Yanyun area, especially for Youzhou, and its location is too important. Regardless of the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming Dynasty had not produced Li Zicheng, the Qing people would have entered the customs and would not want to occupy the Central Plains.

It is precisely this kind of thinking that led to Zhao Kuangyin using a jade axe to draw on the map, and I don't want it on the other side of the Dadu River.

The truth is because of Wang Quanbin's atrocities, and half of the people in Bashu were resisting at that time, so dare to use troops in Dali?

The same is true of Pan Mei's destruction of the Southern Han Dynasty, and the soldiers and horses he brought with him were pitiful, only 10,000 or thousands of soldiers and horses. Destroy the Southern Han, then suppress the rebellion, and then govern. Well, it's hot. Can you still use soldiers?

Later, the focus shifted to the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty. Cochin became independent.

However, because of the generation of this thought. So there was 255,000 money that Song Renzong gave to Western Xia a year to buy An.

This is not a compensation for defeat, in fact, although there were repeated defeats at that time, the fortress of the border defense has been gradually improved, and the Liao State is about to use troops against the Western Xia, so it is impossible to say that there is a compensation for defeat. Therefore it is purely a real buy-and-do.

This figure is very delicate, it is 500,000 a year for the Liao State, and 255,000 for the Western Xia, and the Liao State is not convinced. Without the Western Xia, he was not happy, so he had a thousand odds, so he became more than half of the Liao State.

But in fact, its value is more than 250,000 yuan, including silver, silk, and refined silk, plus the cost of transportation, which is equivalent to a year to give more than 400,000 yuan to Western Xia.

Western Xia is only a small country, with only a few hundred thousand households, and with this money. Don't live a miserable life anymore. Then our two countries will reconcile, just like your father Li Deming. Your people in Western Xia are happy, and our people in the Great Song Dynasty are also peaceful.

In fact, this money is really a lot, think about how many times the population and area of Liao are compared to Western Xia?

This is also the reason why Li Yuanhao is very satisfied.

However, as soon as Li Yuanhao died in front, Western Xia came to invade again.

Therefore, peace cannot be bought with money, and peace cannot be exchanged for what kind of preaching cannot be used.

And it's not the first time Wang Ju has said such a thing, some scholars are very greedy for life and afraid of death, but some people have a very tough attitude, and they have also said similar things, but the Xixia people take it as the wind in their ears.

Now that Wang Ju said it, it worked, and the 100,000 Song army was here in Hengshan, Yanzhou, and rode to Lingzhou City and Leshan.

"Wait a few days, let me think about it. If you can't afford to wait, then please go back, if you wait in Yanzhou, please be honest, otherwise don't blame me for killing even the messenger when the time comes. Baa Sheng, and send them to the post station to rest. ”

Several guards came over and pushed the three of them out.

"Wang Zhizhou, we are envoys," Wei Ming Kerong said unconvinced, the two countries are at war, and if they don't kill the envoys, how can they treat the envoys of a country like this?

"When a friend comes, there is wine, and when an enemy comes, there is a sword and a gun. I'm kind of to you. Wang Ju said coldly.

The three of them were pushed away, and Liu Changzuo asked, "Ming Gong, do you really let them go to the capital?" ”

Wang Ju nodded.

"It's too cheap for them."

"Don't rush the enemy, sometimes a step back is the sea and the sky."

In fact, it is still the art of war.

If the three envoys of Western Xia successfully went to the capital, with the virtue of those bigwigs in the capital, they would definitely agree to negotiate peace.

The simplest example, when the Western Xia envoy Wu Zong entered the palace to congratulate Zhao Shu on his accession to the throne, according to the rules, he must stand in front of the imperial gate to wait for the meeting, and the eunuch conveyed, and then Zhao Shu asked the eunuch to lead the envoy to the vertical arch hall for an audience.

In fact, the ministers of the Song Dynasty were even more miserable, and what they entered into Xixia was only in Youzhou.

But this kid didn't listen, and Gao Yi was helpless to lead his companion, what should I do, who made the Song Dynasty weak and bullied. But after Wu Zong arrived at Shuntian Gate, he took the fish and rituals and forcibly broke into the vertical arch hall. Can this be done? Just like the Song envoy said after arriving in Youzhou, I can't do it, I have to go to Xingqing Mansion, what will happen to it?

Gao Yi had no choice but to lock this kid in the stables and let him calm down.

But what a storm this incident caused was that Sima Guang almost ate Gao Yi's meat.

Anyway, in Wang Ju's heart, Wang Anshi is the same thing, but he can still find many bright spots. But Sima Guang, that's just a big joke. This guy died early, otherwise in the Two Song Dynasty, he would be even worse than Qin Hui.

Now the Western Xia urgently needs to re-establish peace negotiations with the Song Dynasty, and I believe that the attitude of going to the capital this time must be very honest. Then the results are predictable.

With the peace agreement of the Song Dynasty, the Liang clan was able to pacify the various opposing factions of the Western Xia, and the Western Xia was able to smoothly tide over this difficult period.

So Liang sent three envoys to try to go from Gyeongju to the capital.

However, with hope, the Western Xia people would not fight back against Wang Ju's army.

Otherwise, many troops will immediately withdraw from this battlefield, and the forces in Wang Ju's hands will become less and less.

"I see." Liu Changzuo said.

In this way, Liu Changzuo understands.

Of course, on the surface, Wang Ju continues to be strong.

"Then why did you put them in the post station in the first place?"

"I'm waiting for the imperial edict. The edict was issued that the construction of forts was not only for building city walls, but also for the future regular forts. and thou shalt dig trenches, and set up tents and urns. Drawbridges, gates, houses, storehouses, barracks, stables. Nothing less. Therefore, a large amount of materials must be transferred to the rear. The edict was issued, and the materials had to be allocated. Then some people will not be able to go back. Otherwise, there will be accidents. ”

It's highly unlikely, but it's always good to be on guard.

"So Ming Gong will detain them for a few days, but what about Huanzhou?"

"I'm about to go back to solve some things, including Huanzhou, Yanzhou will be handed over to you first."

"Don't worry."

After Wang Ju finished speaking, he rode to Huanzhou first.

Chonggu immediately came out, and the two entered the military office. Chonggu said: "Ming Gong, I haven't moved the other villages for the time being, and I am waiting for Ming Gong's orders, only Suyuan Village has settled some tribes sent by Zhang Tongju. ”

The rebellious villages of Suyuan Village forced Wang Ju to the side of Western Xia.

If you don't leave, you can't do it, but Wang Ju didn't tell the officers and soldiers to deliberately kill people, and let these villagers bring all their property with them. As for what will happen to these women, children, old and young when they get to Xixia, Wang Ju doesn't care. Anyway, don't they want to defect to Western Xia, so it's better to defect.

But the terrain here is very good, and the Song Dynasty built several forts in front of it. In fact, this side of Suyuan Village has gradually become the rear, but there are many small river ditches here. There is also the wide Malyeongcheon, and the people of Huanju and Gyeongju are also beginning to become dense.

Therefore, Zhang Ji chose a few Qingzhou tribes loyal to the Song Dynasty to send elders to come and inspect, and after seeing it, he was very satisfied, so he migrated over together.

This time, Shi's ruthless hand made some villages with ghosts in their hearts tremble, and when they saw that the war was calm, they sent people who could talk to find a kind of ancient intercession.

Chonggu ignored it.

"Kind of Zhijun, I came for this matter, in addition to Suyuan Village, there are also villages that originally participated in the rebellion, forcibly dispersed and transferred to Gyeongju. If you don't agree, please ask them to go to Western Xia! ”

"Okay."

"In addition, I have a list here, and you have ordered them that since they do not serve in the military, they must pay taxes, and ask them to pay the taxes for the previous twenty years to the government according to the taxes paid by the Han people. If it is not paid within a month, it will be punished as treason, and then I will send a large army to destroy it. ”

"This ......"

"Of course, they can't be full."

"That's right." Twenty years of taxes, even if you sell these villages, you can't pay them off.

"However, our army has won a great victory, even the 300,000 Xia army has been defeated, and under this general situation, they will not dare to rebel, and they will continue to plead with you when the time comes. Therefore, there is another way, then let them immediately pay seven out of ten, serve in the army, and judge the merit for their crimes. ”

"Ming Gong, these people can't be put in the army."

Now that the war has subsided, but it has not subsided, whoever dares to use it, I am sure that they will stick a cold knife in their own people in the back.

"Yes, so before the battle, I ordered you, those who are three days in the future, not to come. Don't dare to use it! But now I have another use, let them assemble, Qinggang Gorge, Qingbian Army, Zheqiang Society, etc., I will find a Xixia military village at random and let them attack. Whether you can attack or not, surrender or not, and how many dead or wounded you don't matter. ”

"It's also a solution."

Forced repression is certainly not the way to go.

Wang Ju is still fighting poison with poison, first, let them attack each other and form a great enmity of life and death.

The second is to consume the Ding Zhuang of these tribes, reduce the number of Ding Zhuang of their tribes, and if there are not enough Ding Zhuang, these tribes will gradually become less strong.

In addition, some more loyal tribes were moved, and Huanzhou could be formally governed in the future.

Chonggu looked at the list again, and almost two-thirds of the "neutral factions" stood on it, and the proportion of larger tribes was even higher, almost four-fifths, especially the Murong tribe.

This is a list aimed at a very strong sense of awareness.

"In short, in the future, Huanqing Road will change its previous thinking, so that obedient children will have milk, rather than crying children will have milk."

"Hahaha," Tangu laughed at the metaphor.

But this joke is actually not funny at all, often obedient children have no milk to eat, and most of the children who can eat milk are crying and noisy.

"But you have to be careful, it's really not good, I'll let the battalions of the Baojie Army go back later and cooperate with you."

"Hmm." Kind of ancient forehead.

The eighth son of the family, Chonggu is not the most amazing son, but he is the eldest son and the most stable son.

Wang Ju wanted not to suppress it forcibly, but to use the hands of the enemy to consume the Ding Zhuang of these tribes and weaken the strength of these tribes.

Therefore, if the focus is on deterrence, then more troops are needed in the hands to deter these people, not to be reckless.

"You send some more men to inspect the roads around the state and see which roads need to be repaired. When these tribes are settled, I will send some prisoners of war and repair the roads around the state. ”

This is the transition from chaos to order.

Wang Ju is not only the governor of Gyeongju, but also the pacification strategy of Huanqing Road.

Even if the official position behind him is removed, he still has the right to manage the affairs of Huanzhou.

The two talked a little, Wang Ju didn't stay for long, he was short of time now, he only had two days to go to the rear to make arrangements, and he would go back to Yanzhou soon.

So Wang Ju immediately rode to Gyeongju, not for the military, but for the sake of governance...... (To be continued......)
