Chapter 251: The Western Expedition to Guanzhong
In the first year of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Shu ascended the throne in Yanjing, and at the same time announced to the world that the capital was Yanjing, and announced an amnesty.
From then on, Yanjing began to dominate the entire Great Song Dynasty, and countless laborers from Dali began to build galloping roads, leading to the four directions, and the carriages and warships were like veins, connecting the surroundings more closely.
It's just that the western army in the land of Guanzhong is still dominant, and Zhao Shu has not paid too much attention to it at present, and began to implement reforms, as long as the Great Song Dynasty has completed the reform, it can sweep away the shortcomings of the Great Song Dynasty since its existence, and solve the problem of redundant soldiers and redundant officials, and then the huge national strength of the Great Song Dynasty can be completely stimulated and complete the great cause since the Han and Tang Dynasties.
It's just that this kind of reform is also accompanied by sporadic killings and suppression, north to Yanjing, south to the south of Yongzhou, west to the land of Bashu, east to the sea, the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty has in fact expanded more than half, except for the Western Regions and the Northeast did not get, Zhao Shu included the southeast into the notice, and Dali was in fact included in the notice, so the wealth obtained by the entire Great Song Dynasty in the south was even greater.
"Your Majesty, this year's reform has been carried out, and the treasury is full, and the grain and grass are sufficient, enough to support the three years of the Great War. We hope to immediately send troops north to calm the demonic atmosphere for Your Majesty and dominate the world!"
Han Shizhong, the governor of the Governor's Mansion, and the military ministers all played in unison, and every general hoped to lead the army again and expand his achievements.
Yue Fei is a military general, this time looking at the generals to ask for battle, there is a bit of weirdness in his expression, when will the generals of the Great Song Dynasty be able to be on a par with Wenchen, and even directly cross Wenchen to ask for battle, and look at the attitude of those Wenchen, although they are not angry, they have no disdain.
"Your Majesty, this year's reform has just been implemented, although the treasury is full, but the Quartet has not been appeased, the reform has not been completed, and many places need to be improved. There can be no more war. ”
Jiang Kui took Wenchen to ask up, for Wenchen, governing the country, foreign negotiations is their own merit, although they have no hatred for military generals, but the two classes are naturally opposed, for the civil and military ministers, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind.
"The Qilin Pavilion is responsible for scheming, what do you think about sending troops?"
Zhao Shu's words made the Qilin Pavilion ministers look happy. The northbound Changru looked at Han Shizhong and Jiang Kui, and no longer long-winded, and directly played: "Now that the territory of the Jurchen Jin Kingdom is not peaceful, the Quartet is turbulent, the coastal areas are harassed again, and the natural and man-made disasters in the territory are continuous, it is the time to send troops.
But my Great Song Dynasty has not yet reached the strongest state, and the Jurchen power is in the ascendant. Although there were some problems, it was supported by the ancient Daomen and the Great Snow Mountain, and it was also supported by the Liao State, which had a large number of soldiers. If you do it this time, I am afraid that it will lose the army, and even if it wins, it will be a miserable victory!"
"But this time when we are reforming in China. The soldiers are well fed, and if they are going out to fight, they can divert the attention of the country. Let the cabinet better implement reforms. ”
The northbound Changru is not afraid of Han Shizhong and Jiang Kui, his qualifications are sufficient, and he is the minister of Conglong, so he ignores Han Shizhong and Jiang Kui's angry eyes, and says leisurely.
It's just that Zhao Shu looked at the northbound Changru and said: "You are a big fifty board, and each of them must not be offended, although Han Shizhong and Jiang Kui's eyes are very fierce, but you don't have to be with the mud!"
Zhao Shu's words made everyone in the court laugh, Jiang Kui and Han Shizhong restrained slightly, and looked at each other with a look of disgrief.
"Zong Ze, as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and a new member of the Qilin Pavilion, do you have your own opinions?"
Zhao Shu looked at Zong Ze, with a bit of thought about the school examination in his eyes, it turned out that some ministers of Bianliang suddenly became nervous, the current battle in the court is the old ministers of His Majesty's palace, and their qualifications and prestige are better than everyone, even if they break their heads, they should not interfere with these people, if they interfere, whether it is good or bad, they will offend one party, and they will definitely be excluded by these ministers, and even sarcastic.
The northbound Changru smiled and said nothing, knowing that this was His Majesty's intention to promote this old minister, and also to appease the old minister in Bianliang.
He bowed slightly, but he didn't care, because of his position, no one could shake it, even if this was an old minister, he could only serve as a deputy.
Zong Ze walked up with a confident face, his expression resolute and rigid: "In the opinion of the old minister, you should not use troops against the Jurchens, but you can go out of Western Xia, and you are also taking the opportunity to sort out Guanzhong and rectify those warlords in Guanzhong." ”
Zong Ze's words immediately aroused the consent of many people, and now Guanzhong has become a force for separation, and the Quartet of the Great Song Dynasty is pacified, and only the people in this Guanzhong can defend it by virtue of the dangers of mountains and rivers.
Even at the time of the ceremony, it was only the breeders who sent people to come, especially now that the old breed is seriously ill, if it is not rectified, there will be no one who can lead the Western Army.
The most capable army before the Great Song Dynasty will be divided and divided.
"Do you have any comments on that?"
Zhao Shu glanced at the Quartet and asked lightly.
"We have no opinion!"
The ministers said respectfully.
"In this case, this time I personally went to Guanzhong to conquer Western Xia, Zong Ze, Li Gang, and Zhang Shuye coordinated with the army, and Yue Fei, the commander of the thousand soldiers, was promoted to the commander of ten thousand soldiers, commanding 50,000 soldiers and horses!"
As soon as Zhao Shu's words fell, Jiang Kui and the others' faces changed, and Su Zhiyuan behind him immediately played: "Your Majesty, why don't you let General Han or other generals lead the army, this is dangerous, General Yue doesn't know if he can do it?"
"And many of the old ministers in the Qilin Pavilion should also go with Your Majesty!"
As soon as Su Zhiyuan's words fell, many old ministers from Bianliang suddenly became resentful, and their hearts were even more declining, but no one dared to oppose Su Zhiyuan.
Even Yuwen Xuzhong didn't dare to fully believe in many of Bianliang's old ministers, not for anything else, because he currently also belonged to the Yanjing lineage.
Zhao Shu also faintly understood that the officials of Bianliang and Yanjing were faintly divided into two factions, which was not a good thing.
He waved his hand and said, "That's it, King Kang will accompany him this time!"
In Zhao Shu's words, the ministers did not dare to object, and immediately prepared for the personal conquest.
Although many ministers of Bianliang did not approve of the imperial expedition, they knew that this emperor was not the Taiping Emperor, but had fought all the way to his current position.
"Third brother, fifth brother wants to drive the expedition in person, and he brought us with him! What do you think?"
In the Red Copper City, Zhao Gou said to Zhao Kai with a wry smile.
"How can there be? It's not easy to break through Guanzhong and Xixia with the ability of the fifth child!"
"How do you think Fifth Brother will deal with us? What kind of self-confidence does he have to keep our cultivation?"
"Haha, although the fifth child's temperament is peaceful, but he is the only one in his heart, who will put it in his eyes in this world! You and I wait, I can't say that when my father and eldest brother come back, it will be the time for you and me to solve the difficulties!"
"Will the fifth brother welcome his father and eldest brother back?"
Zhao Gou's heart moved, and he said leisurely.
"Yes! His position is made out, and no one can shake it!"
Zhao Kai said leisurely. (To be continued......)
