Qiming 1158

Chapter 858 I Can't Fall Here!

In fact, so many face-slapping things happened, Zhang Jun also felt that his embarrassment was about to commit cancer.

He is not a person who can control his own mouth and temper. He has always been very strong and straightforward.

Of course, there is no big problem in doing this on a daily basis, and he will become a very respected official.

But it's often too late when something goes wrong.

Such as the defeat of Fuping, such as the Huaixi military change.

These things made him almost dead, and he also got a bad name on Zhao Gou's side. Even Zhao Gou said that even if the country was subjugated, he would not use Zhang Jun again.

But it is still really fragrant now, because Zhang Jun is very arrogant.

Zhao Tan is similar. He is really worried about Zhang Jun's professional level, but at this moment, he has no better candidate to replace Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun's talents are indeed limited, but Zhang Jun's integrity is very high.

Under this circumstance, the Southern Song Dynasty needed the integrity of the main warriors to support it, and it needed courageous people to support the backbone of the country.

If there is no integrity, the Southern Song Dynasty will retreat again and again, and there will be no retreat.

Despite this, the situation cannot be regarded as not happening. The current military situation in the Southern Song Dynasty is really not good. Whether Zhang Jun can take up this responsibility is now debatable.

Zhao Tan felt that it was necessary to choose a minister who was good at military affairs from the imperial court to be Zhang Jun's deputy, so that Zhang Jun could have a professional helper, so that he would not always make wrong decisions with a slap of his head, and he insisted that it was right.

And one more thing.

The rebellion on Jiangnan West Road has not yet been quelled.

There are still a large number of rebel thieves in Jizhou, Nan'an Army, and Ganzhou. They are revolting with joy, and this counter-insurgency operation led by the Privy Council has never been able to achieve a decisive victory.

So much so that Zhao Tan has to continuously invest money on the battlefield of Jiangnan West Road to ensure that the war can be won.

This made Zhao Tan very unhappy.

"Also, when will the rebellion on Jiangnan West Road be quelled? If it continues like this, I'm really worried that this rebellion will not be quelled! I don't know how much it will cost! Zhang Qing, we really have a lot of money. money?"

Zhao Tan looked at Zhang Jun rather angrily.

Speaking of this matter, Zhang Jun was even more embarrassed. He bowed his head and bowed his body, not knowing what to do.

This rebellion seems to have not progressed since Tian Shizhong's death. Zhang Jun handed over the power of the main general to Qi Fang, the deputy general of the previous crusade, and let Qi Fang be the main general to crusade the rebels on Jiangnan West Road, looking forward to him pacifying as soon as possible. situation.

However, after several months, the situation has not been calmed down. The rebels on Jiangnan West Road are still entrenched in Jizhou, Nan'an Army, and Ganzhou area, and almost formed a state of strategic confrontation with Song Army.

The Song army, with its absolute superior strength and equipment, was unable to annihilate the rebels, but instead formed a strategic confrontation with the rebels, which made Zhao Tan particularly dissatisfied.

Of course, Zhang Jun was also very dissatisfied. He urged Qi Fang many times and asked him to work hard to suppress him, otherwise he would have to change his position and reduce his position. At any rate, Qi Fang could only maintain the status quo, and could not break the status quo and make progress.

A small victory every day, killing dozens of more than 100 rebels and the like is meaningless, which makes Zhang Jun very annoyed and helpless.

In the current state, it would not be a good choice to switch on the spot.

At first, many capable generals had their own things to do. For example, Zhang Jun's direct descendant of the Sichuan-Shu faction was now facing the situation in the north where the pressure increased sharply after the Western Xia National Revolution.

Second, Zhang Jun is also unwilling to promote generals who are not of the same mind as him to quell the rebellion. The ghost knows what political stance they are, and Zhang Jun has not forgotten about the Huaixi military change.

Although Qi Fang could not win the third place, it did not allow the rebel army to continue to expand. The rebellion was confined to the three places and did not expand, and the situation was generally controllable.

So no matter what, Zhang Jun is not very willing to replace Qi Fang, a general who doesn't know if he can improve the situation. If he loses the battle, won't it be the end?

All in all, Zhang Jun was not sure of choosing a better general to quell the rebellion, so in the face of Zhao Tan's dissatisfaction, he could only speak to Qi Fang with Shi Mu.

"Although the rebellion has not been quelled, the situation has been brought under control. The rebels occupy favorable terrain, and as soon as something happens, they will drill into the mountains, so that it is not easy for the official army to quell the rebellion, but the rebels cannot grow bigger, and they will be trapped sooner or later. In the mountains, it is only a matter of time before the rebellion is quelled."

Zhang Jun's rhetoric always has its own reasons, Zhao Tan is very unhappy, but he has no better way now.

It's just that this situation can't continue. Da Song's finances are very dangerous. What is needed now is to control spending, and the war must end as soon as possible.

"You have to continue to urge Qi Fang to quell the rebellion. The deadline is the last two months. You can't solve the rebellion within two months. Not only Qi Fang, but you must also be careful about the official hat on your head! My patience is limited. of!"

Zhao Tan set a deadline for Zhang Jun, which made Zhang Jun feel tight.

For the first time, Zhao Tan had such a clear deadline for him.

It seems that his many misjudgments and decision-making mistakes in the military have made Zhao Tan a little less trusting of him. If he can't make some achievements, his official hat will really be lost.

Although the official hat is not the most important thing for Zhang Jun, his most important ideal can only be realized by wearing the official hat. He is a person with feelings and ideals. His lifelong goal is to help the Song Dynasty return to the Central Plains.

This requires power and official hats.

No, I can't fall here!

Zhang Jun made up his mind to give Qi Fang a death order.

The emperor gave me a death order, so I can only give a death order to my subordinates, or double the death order!

The emperor wants two months, you, give me one month to complete the task!

When Zhang Jun returned, he gave Qi Fang an order.

Zhao Tan did not continue to argue with Zhang Jun. He was very busy and had to do a lot of things. After he went to say goodbye to Zhao Gou immediately, he still had several meetings to hold.

Zhao Gou didn't come back for a long time. After he persuaded him many times, it was mainly because the rebellion on Jiangnan West Road frightened Zhao Gou that Zhao Gou rushed back to Lin'an.

After running back to Lin'an, Zhao Gou asked Yang Cunzhong to send a reliable general to lead the elite troops of the Dianqian Division as his personal guards, stationed in his Longevity Palace to protect his safety at all times.

After this request was approved and implemented by Zhao Tan, Zhao Gou entered Lin'an City with confidence, returned to the palace, and accepted Zhao Tan's visit.

After a period of time passed, Zhao Gou found that although his political power had been taken down, Zhao Tan did not intend to move Yang Cunzhong and the army in front of the Shiwan Palace, which made Zhao Gou completely let go. Come to the heart.

Having an army is good, and having an army means security.

Then he began to enjoy happiness in the palace, drinking and having fun every day, reading and painting, except that he could not play with women, he played with everything else.

Even if he played by himself, he had to call many people to play with him.

He likes liveliness, likes big scenes, and will ask famous jugglers to enter the palace to perform for him alone. He also asks folk chefs to come to the palace to cook for him, and he needs to ask the girls from Yihong Courtyard to enter the palace for him. Do door-to-door service.

He spends money like water, and spends a lot of money. When he sees a good performance, he will directly reward him with tens of thousands of dollars. The reward is for Zhao Tan, who is working in the previous dynasty.

But there's no way, Zhao Tan didn't dare to say anything. His throne was all given to him by Zhao Gou. Now that people want to spend some money, you won't let them spend it. It's too unfilial, right?

Zhao Tan could only accompany the smiling face, smashed his teeth and swallowed in his stomach, hoping that Zhao Gou could spend less money, at least not to make him miserable.
