After Shao Song

Chapter 122 Incident in the Northwest
Zhao Guanjia thought carefully for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion helplessly, that is, at the current stage of the construction of Yanjing City, except for Chen Gui, there is really no one who can take over halfway.

You know, Chen Gui is the leading strategic defense master of this era. His construction plan is to completely integrate people's residence, commerce and city defense, not only in the inner city, but also in the outer city.

Don't say that he hasn't started writing his masterpiece on city defense yet. Even if he finished it, others would not be able to understand the essence of it after reading it for a year and a half.

If it is required to lower the level slightly, then Zong Ying, who is good at urban construction, may be able to replace one or two. But the problem is that the incident at Taiyuan Mansion on Hedong Road has already made Li Yanxian want to die. If Zong Ying is transferred again at this time, Come here, do you believe he can vomit blood?

Moreover, Taiyuan's city defenses were blown up, and more things needed to be built. Moreover, the Zhao Guan family planned to build it as an important defensive town in the northwest. They also could not be careless, and Zong Ying needed to be the prefect of Taiyuan.

So Zhao Guan's family simply stopped the project first. Anyway, he didn't expect to successfully move the capital this year. Then he would save money to regulate the Haihe and Yellow Rivers. Take your time!Maybe find Chen Gui an expert in the apricot forest who can adjust his body and use his remaining energy without risking his life. Anyway, he would be happy with it.

July is on fire, and autumn is coming with the disappearance of cicadas and the arrival of autumn rain. Seeing that the imperial examination is approaching, not only are the discussions among the students in the surrounding Zhengdianjiao inn lively, the Zhao Guan family has no choice but to change their thinking and discuss this matter with the officials. Where should I put my main energy in the past few years, and how should I use my talents?

Hu Yin was the first to speak, "Officials, I believe that in the next three years, the restoration of people's livelihood in various places, the construction of seaports and the management of the Yellow River will be the priority. Among them, the discord between the military and the people has still become a chronic disease. I suggest that regardless of the civil and military examinations, candidates should be asked how to deal with it. This problem!" Among the people-friendly officials who suffered deeply from it was Mr. Hu.

Zhao Guanjia sighed and said: "Zong Ying, the prefect of Taiyuan, has given the best example on this matter. I also plan to go to Taiyuan after the imperial examination. At the same time, I will also lead the garrison commanders from various places to visit and study."

Although it seemed that he did not want to give face to the officials, Zhang Jiuzheng, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, still had the courage to say, "Officials, I take the liberty of saying, Zong Zhifu and King Li Jin can achieve such results in Taiyuan because Taiyuan's construction needs It requires a large number of soldiers and civilians to join forces. And there are a large number of people from Hedong Road in the rebel army of the Imperial Camp. No matter how mischievous they are, it will not be too much to see their hometown in such a dilapidated state. This situation does not have such a big advantage in other armies. "

"I know that Wu Gu (Zhang Jiucheng) is telling the truth, but I have no other solution for the time being. This is an emergency measure." Zhao Guanjia said helplessly: "As for the long term, we can only select those with cultural quality through military elections. The low-level officers are just changing slowly. But Yue Pengju once said that no matter how careless you are, you must ensure that military pay and ordnance are basic, otherwise it will be impossible to talk about combat effectiveness, let alone the quality of the army."

Several ministers who have been with Zhao Guan's family for more than ten years have a deep understanding of this matter. Han Shizhong had a guilty conscience and did not dare to support the jade belt and eat empty pay... Anyway, I have resigned and took control of Zuojun, so it has nothing to do with me.

And you, Xiaoyue, too, do you think that everyone in the Song Dynasty is at the level of your imperial camp and front army?Even for the Yue Family Army, as far as he knew, there were a lot of problems in the year after Wang Gui took over. He didn't believe that the officials didn't know about this, otherwise the word "Dai" on Wang Gui would not have been gone forever. Lose.

But who would have known that just ten days before the imperial examination, something big happened in the northwest, which shocked the world and even postponed the talent promotion ceremony.

To put it simply, Li Gang, the most famous prince in the Jianyan Dynasty and the current envoy to the northwest, was almost kidnapped by Xiliao, which made the always strong-willed man almost die on the border between the two countries to maintain his dignity.

When Zhao Guanjia heard the news, he was so shocked that the books in his hands fell to the ground, but after careful questioning, it seemed that it was really not Li Gang's responsibility to pick things up this time.At least not entirely his fault.

Speaking of Xiliao, because the Song Dynasty was panicked for a while because of Zhao Ji's funeral, it not only plundered many border residents, but also tried to connect Linhuang Road Autonomous Region.As a result, they were unilaterally sanctioned by Zhao Guan's family, which not only cut off people and goods, but also sent away an old man Li Gang with a very bad temper.

This Li Gang and Li Boji were people who even Zhao Guan's family dared to look after their children back then. Now he has been retired for many years. Although he has no regrets, when he heard that there was an opportunity to teach the Khitan people a lesson, he was so happy that he seemed to be ten years younger and out of the pain of losing his wife. I didn't mind the bitter cold in the northwest at all, so I took my two sons to make use of the remaining heat.

When he arrived in Lanzhou, he launched a series of moral criticisms against everyone from the emperor to the petty officials of Khitan. He knew all the items of the Jinhe Alliance Treaty by heart, and he could not curse anyone for three days without using any harsh words. .The guards of the imperial cavalry were all convinced after hearing this. I am afraid that the commander-in-chief of his own family does not have such advanced language skills!Three envoys from Xiliao fell ill due to the irritating envoys, which also made Li Gang, who had been fed up with Liao's anger for the first half of his life, in a good mood. He even took the initiative to make peace with Li Yanxian. Even though Li Yanxian was so old, he couldn't help but give face, so he smiled And forget the grudges.

But the purpose of the Zhao Guan family was to teach Xiliao a lesson and let him know the bottom line of the Song Dynasty. They did not really want to fall out with Yelu Dashi.So after Yelu Dashi sincerely apologized and made certain compensation, various trades were slowly opened.

Of course, Li Gang should stay there, what if there are still people who are ignorant?And the ethnic adjustment work needs you, Mr. Li.

It was a coincidence that after the canal was dredged, Zhao Guan's family sold another group of criminals to Xiliao.But who would have known that after the story of Zhang Yongzhen's orphans spread all over the world, someone would actually bring a note to Tang Huai and Li Dao, the commanders of the imperial camp and the former army commanders responsible for escorting the criminals, saying that they were also orphans of martyrs who died in the battle with Zhang Yongzhen. Unfortunately, some time ago Time was captured, because I knew how to do craftsmanship, so I was detained and never put back.

In fact, there must be some discrepancies in the detailed census of the population sent back last time, because there are far fewer young adults, doctors and craftsmen visible to the naked eye. Under normal circumstances, it is not possible to fight for hundreds of people. At most, we will find a way later, but once it is involved, The meaning of the heroes of Bagongshan is completely different.

Tang Huai was well aware of the seriousness and did not dare to delay. He quickly reported it to Li Gang and the deputy envoy of Datong Road Economic and Strategy, and also sent a secret letter to the officials.Li Gang immediately said that he would personally go to see Yelu Yanshan, the military commander of the Tiande Army stationed in the border area of ​​​​Xiliao, but everyone was not at ease, especially Liu Zhengyan, the son of Liu Fa, the general magistrate of Lanzhou, said bluntly: "We are here, how can we Can you see that my husband is in danger?"

But Li Gang had no idea who to listen to. He immediately crossed the north of the Yellow River and met with Yelu Yanshan in Dongsheng Prefecture (today's EEDS) under the rule of the Song Dynasty. He politely asked him to return the population, especially when it came to the orphans of martyrs, without any discussion. room.Otherwise, Mr. Li can make the decision to stop the autumn trade market and see where the people buy salt and tea!Pass through the snowy mountains and Tubo tribes?

Although Li Gang had an arrogant attitude and wanted Yelu Yanshan to beat people, in the end the situation was stronger than the people. More importantly, the Liao Dynasty was about to march westward. At this time, it was short of people and food. He really didn't dare to fall out with the Song Dynasty, so the two sides started arguing. , saying that if it is confirmed that they are the family members of the martyrs of the Western Army, of course they will be released unconditionally, but other members of the population cannot make the decision and must wait for the emperor's instructions.

Up to this point, it was quite restrained, but I never expected that the former military headquarters of the imperial camp, which has always had the best military discipline, had a problem - because of the business trip, their military salary was paid one month in advance, but the business trip process did not expect it to last three and a half months. Someone from my mother's family and my wife's family wrote back saying that the family had no rice to cook and no money to send their children to school.

Therefore, I don't know who started it. Li Daobu actually made a fuss in the middle of the night and demanded military pay. When Li Gang learned the reason, he angrily cursed them for being embarrassed and severely warned Tang Huai that they would behead those who made a big fuss immediately.Tang Huai could not understand the importance of the matter, but he was the weakest among Yue Fei's brothers. He quickly said: "Ms. sir, this matter will be severely punished when I return home. But now that we are not far from the border, we can't let them cause trouble." Otherwise, the trouble will be even greater."

If Li Gang had understood military affairs, he would not have nearly doomed himself. However, he got angry and directly ordered Tang Huai. Tang Huai dared to challenge the authority of the Prime Minister and deal with it directly. Unexpectedly, it caused even greater chaos.

Yelu Yanshan was originally the group of Khitan people who missed their hometown the most. Seeing such a scene, he could try his best to control himself, but the generals below actually took advantage of the chaos and sent troops to surround Li Gang and arrest him - this I've had enough of this bad old man for a few months.

While Yelu Yanshan was hesitating, Li Gang immediately hit his head against a pillar and shouted: "I owe you to the official." Thanks to Tang Huai's tight embrace, he was not killed - but his head was badly bruised and his personnel was unknown.

Fortunately, Li Xiuzhi, who was accompanying Li Gang to serve at this time, showed his ability to rule the world in the future. He said with red eyes: "My father is the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty. He is here today for state affairs. If you die here for the sake of the state, the officials will definitely order it." The two kings of Qin and Wei conquered the Western Regions and then destroyed the Khitan Kingdom Zuo."

Yelu Yanshan calmed down. Yes, this is Li Gang, not a cat or a dog. He is really dead. Just for the sake of face, the Zhao Song official family has to have a big battle with Xiliao - after all, there are no more 100 Jurchen households.The scholars of the Song Dynasty will probably support the emperor - after all, I have been angry with you for more than [-] years, and now a prime minister has died. The famous prime minister who saved the time will probably not be able to explain to the group of heroes without a breath of revenge.

But at this point, the armies on both sides had gathered thousands of people. Li Xiuzhi gritted his teeth and became a hostage himself, asking Tang Huai and Li Dao to quickly take his father back to a safe area for treatment.

When the news came, it undoubtedly caused a political earthquake in the two countries. Yue Fei was furious and ran to Wang Gui's army. After driving out the others, he punched him and said with red eyes: "The former army of the imperial camp will actually do it because of this." There was such a big mistake in the military pay issue. With three thousand soldiers and horses, they almost captured Xianggong Li! Wang Gui, how many heads do you have!"

——Small Extra Theater——

Zhao Ji's life has been worse than death recently - maybe he can't say that, after all, he is already dead. It can only be said that he thought the experience in Five Kingdoms City was terrible enough, but he didn't expect that the life under his ancestors was not as good as the one he had in those days. The Kingdom of Jin is a prisoner.

After the first eight emperors of the Song Dynasty beat him enough, they gave him to the emperors and queen mothers of the Liao Kingdom for a good torture. Tang Taizong and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty also let him know what it meant to unsheath the Tang sword and bleed the Han sword.

Later, he became a tool for making money. He was pressed by several emperors and asked Liu E and Gao Taotao to sew sheepskin on him, and then let the emperors practice archery for a fee.

You said that any emperor, as long as he is not a subjugated king, who does not have a lot of funeral objects, some emperors could have lived outside, and even came back to practice archery.

According to incomplete statistics, Zhao Ji died for more than 100 days and was hit by at least more than 1 arrows - no one will die in the underworld, but the injuries will heal, but scars will remain.This day was even more outrageous. For the entertainment of some queens who were not good at archery but wanted to be angry, Zhao Kuangyin once again ordered people to be tied to wooden stakes for them to practice - Dugu Jialuo hit the bullseye with three arrows in a row, and was much happier. I paid double the money and happily went with Gao Taotao to have a reasonable jealous chat.

What the hell, I hate men who take concubines the most. You are not only unprofessional in your love, but you also use your own woman to pay off debts. I will shoot you to death without any discussion!

He Zhen and Meng Ru sent to the side happily counting the money, He Zhen said: "I have saved so much again, and I will ask Sister Song to take it to Xiao Jiu's blessing tomorrow. It is quite useful."

Zhao Ji seemed to say that I should write thin gold calligraphy to make money, so I beg my ancestors not to make me a target!But the problem is that the ancestors didn't want to listen to the sheep, so they stuffed him with hemp walnuts. Zhao Kuangyin did it himself to ensure that he would never spit it out!
If he spits it out, he will be given another free beating by the Jin Guo trio.

　Something happened to the former army in the imperial camp. Zhao Guan's family forgot to give the order to the former army not to listen to Li Gang, but the main responsibility for this incident obviously did not lie with Li Gang.
