I am Da Song

Chapter 155
The Static Sergeant Army marched to the area of ​​Longde Mansion in late March.

The name Longde Mansion may not be very famous, but his ancient name is known to everyone, everyone knows it.

It was named Shangdang during the Qin and Han Dynasties.In the 47th year of King Qin Zhaoxiang, Qin attacked Han Shangdang, and Shangdang surrendered to Zhao.So the Qin-Zhao Changping battle broke out here, and the two countries fought each other for more than two years. In the end, more than [-] Zhao soldiers were killed, and Bai Qi's reputation as the god of killing was achieved.

There is also the famous Huguan in the south of Longde Mansion. During the period of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the main force of Cao's army once mobilized to attack this place, and it took three months to conquer it.

In short, this place has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. After Han Shizhong's troops arrived smoothly, they did not rush forward again.Instead, start to stabilize the line of defense here and stabilize the camp.

Wanting to regain Taiyuan is obviously far beyond the capabilities of this new army.

Han Shizhong's plan is to gain a firm foothold here first, and on the one hand send troops to the north to investigate the situation of the Jin army, and on the other hand to stabilize the rear.That is, the area south of Delong Mansion, clearing up the bandits and bandits, resettling the people, and promoting the most important matter—that is, conscription.

Of course, this is not something that he alone can do, so after Han Shizhong arrived in Longde Mansion, he immediately reported to the imperial court, requesting the imperial court to reset the Xuanfu Department, and send a Xuanfu envoy over here!
Here I have to praise the postal system of the Song Dynasty. Even at the most critical moment of the Jingkang disaster, the postal system of the imperial court did not collapse. Tokyo documents could travel thousands of miles to Changsha and recall Li Gang.Zhao Huan never bothered Zhao Huan to ask about the recruitment of the minister of the war faction from the beginning to the end.This is very different from the late Ming Dynasty.During the Jingkang period, if you don't look at the Jin people's invasion, the Song Dynasty can barely be regarded as a prosperous age.

Han Shizhong's messenger set off from Longde Mansion and arrived in Tokyo City in only two days.

Wende Palace, even the prime ministers who have always been hostile, are now laughing and laughing.

Li Gang said with a smile: "I heard that Han Shizhong has the name of Han Powu. His letter name is to ask for the establishment of a Xuanfu Division, but between the lines, it is all boasting of martial arts."

Zhao Huan nodded slightly. Frankly speaking, he underestimated Han Shizhong a little bit. He didn't expect that he could fight so well when he was fully loaded and not paid.

The bandits in Hedong are different from those in Hebei. Their main forces are gathered under Wang Shan's command.The imperial court thought that this would be a long battle, and it would take a long time for the Jingsai army to cross the Yellow River and gain a foothold in Hedong.

No one thought that Han Shizhong actually defeated Wang Shan in the first battle. Although it cannot be compared with Wanyan Loushi who crushed all the Song army decisively in the first battle, this record can be regarded as a shot in the Song Dynasty.

At least compared to Fangla, the anti-insurgency of the Jingsai Army in Hedong is very amazing.There is even the phenomenon of the founding of a dynasty.

His achievements, in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, were also dazzling military exploits.

Not only Zhao Huan had this feeling, but Zuo Xiangmei Zhili also said with emotion: "Since the officials announced the oath of grinding mountains and rivers, the atmosphere of the court has been completely new. It seems that the destiny is in me. The army has won many battles and won many battles. Teacher weather. Even if each dynasty establishes a division, it is nothing more than that."

Zhao Huan was extremely comfortable with this flattery.But compared to the theory of destiny and luck, Zhao Huan still believes that all this comes from system reform and improvement of organizational strength.

Then Zhao Huan got back to business and said, "Since Han Shizhong opened up the situation in Hedong, it's time to send a Xuan Fu envoy. Can the imperial court recommend anyone?"

"The minister has a recommendation."

"The minister has a recommendation."

"The minister has a recommendation."

The three prime ministers spoke almost simultaneously.After the words fell, the three slaughters looked at each other and snorted coldly.

Regarding the appointment of one party's envoy, the recent struggle between the three can be described as raging fire.With the imperial court's royal teachers advancing triumphantly in all directions, the imperial court's territory to restore order is rapidly expanding.

Now the area that can be directly controlled by Zhao Huan has covered the vast land from the Yellow River to the two sides of the Huaihe River.To be more specific, it is very similar to the territory that Chai Rong could control in the next week when he succeeded to the throne.

Therefore, the imperial court recently appointed several envoys in one go, and they quarreled every time.

Zhao Huan had a headache when he thought that there might be more quarrels today, and said: "Every time I recommend court officials, there will be a lot of quarrels. Instead of this, it is better to make a charter. In the future, all senior officials will be appointed by the Zhengshitang. , six ministers, and Taijian, etc., together with the court to recommend three people. Make the list into a letter and hand it over to me, and I will choose a circle to pass."

There will be no resistance to the implementation of this system in the Song Dynasty. After all, it gave the literati and officials the power to rule the world together.Moreover, the status of the six ministers has been significantly improved, and they can sit and discuss matters with the prime minister.

Of course, the supreme power is still the imperial power, and the final appointment of candidates can only be controlled by the emperor.The scholar-bureaucrats are always the emperor's tools to govern the country, and they cannot replace the emperor to make the final decision.

Li Gang was the first to agree with Zhao Huan's proposal. If the regulations were decided on this basis, Zhengshitang would replace Shangshu Sheng as the director of personnel selection in the future.

The other two prime ministers did not object.It's good for them too.Because they really didn't want to continue arguing with Li Gang in the closed-door meeting, and the officials stood behind him.Every time Shang Shusheng got dizzy from the quarrel and was about to succeed, the officials would come out to sideline the fight.Let all your efforts be in vain.

Rather than being dizzy with anger, it is better to follow a fair and open national charter.At least in front of the six ministries, Taiwan advisers, and officials, several prime ministers can still compete fairly.Can win over other officials to deal with Li Gang together.

"Since it is necessary to push the court, then the candidates for the plan will be determined together. Hedong has been gradually recovered, and it is time to reorganize the taxation system of the Holy Dynasty."

It is now late March, and Zhao Huan has been traveling for three months.

The salaries of the officials of the imperial court, the appeasement of the wounded soldiers, and the recruitment of the army are all stored in the royal internal treasury.Including the more than 2000 million taels of money obtained from ransacking the house and more than [-] million taels of silver seized on the battlefield.This kind of abnormal income has been owned by the emperor since ancient times.

But the country Taicang is empty.This is also the most important reason why court officials and prime ministers dare not follow Zhao Huan on top of the vat.Any man who has no money in his own treasury can't stand upright!

If the Song court wanted to operate normally, it could not live by staring at the royal inventory every day. It had to restart the income, and a large amount of fiscal revenue entered Taicang.

The three prime ministers were more anxious about this than Zhao Huan. Now that the most important salt administration could be put on the agenda, the three of them immediately urged the convening of the court meeting in high spirits.The Zhengshitang brought Taiwan's remonstrance, and the Minister of Shangshu summoned all the six ministers.

Today, there is no decision on the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong and the candidate for the minister, so no one wants to leave the court and go home!
