Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 570 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 16
Wu Xuan was trembling with excitement. The Zixi Salt Farm was finally owned by the Wu family. Although it was only five years ago, the huge income made him very excited.It was so great to meet the satisfaction of his father, his rising status in the family, everything was so beautiful, and he wished to go to thank Wang Xiu immediately.

On the contrary, Han Xuanzhou's face was gloomy and he was full of displeasure. It can be said that he got nothing and showed off too much, even the officials of the Maritime Safety Administration would not show him face.It's fine if it can embarrass Wang Xiu, the key point is that if he is humiliated, there will be a storm against him in the family, and he must not sit still!

"Brother Daoshan, it's almost noon, and my younger brother is about to invite a few fellows to have a drink together, and one of them is still short of a couple." Wu Xuan couldn't close his mouth, and he wanted to make things difficult for Han Xuanzhou, showing off with all his heart Well, what he said was simply making up for Han Xuanzhou.

Is there anything so detrimental?If you invite your comrades to have a drink, it’s fine to call me, but you have to say that I’m going to make up the numbers.Han Xuanzhou's eyelids twitched violently, wishing to give Wu Xuanchen an old punch, but he endured it. Before leaving, his uncle Zhang Qiyuan also warned the children of the Han family that Wang Xiu must be patient when he is in power.Just because he endured it does not mean that he allowed Wu Xuanchen to act recklessly, he had already made up his mind to take revenge and muddy the pool of water.

He took a deep breath, and said with a smirk: "There are still some things to do, if Uncle Ji wants to go, just go!"

Walking in Ruisi Hall
Zhao Chen was dragged out again by Zhao Roujia, Zhu Lian was sitting in the hall reading a book, Qingjun was standing beside him, everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs knew that Shao Chengzhang walked in lightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty."

"It's nine hundred, what's the matter?" Zhu Lian put down his book, Shao Chengzhang is an old man of the Kaifeng Palace, and he is quite upright.In recent years, Zhang Quan has been favored more and more. In order to prevent Zhang Quan from becoming too big, she was awarded Shao Chengzhang as an internal servant last year. Everyone knows that adding a group of training envoys, taking charge of the imperial city department, and dividing Zhang Quan's power is also the way of imperial servants.

Shao Chengzhang took out a letter from Guantang, handed it to Qingjun, and said in a low voice: "I have received Wang Xianggong's memorial."

Zhu Lian's beautiful eyes lit up, and she said with a smile, "Okay, bring it quickly."

Shao Chengzhang couldn't help trembling for a while, Zhu Lian's attitude towards Wang Xiu was really intriguing, surpassing the empress dowager's attitude towards important ministers.

Qingjun checked and checked it was correct, Kaifeng took out the memorial and presented it. Zhu Lian looked at it, frowned slightly, and couldn't help laughing: "It's true, the two houses will say him again after reading it."

Shao Chengzhang was surprised, he didn't know what Wang Xiu had done to make Sun Fu, Tang Ge and others talk about it, Qing Jun had been by Zhu Lian's side for a long time, and he knew Zhu Lian's attitude towards Wang Xiu very well, whenever he received Wang Xiu Zhu Lian read the memorial carefully with joy, as if he was reading a love story sent by Ailang, and tried every means to make up an excuse for Wang Xiu.

"Jiubai, please discuss the matter in the Ruisi Hall of the two governments." Zhu Lian looked at it twice, and then said to Qingjun: "Qingjun, go and find the official house, and play with the second sister all day long, it's a big deal You're too young, and it's time to rein in your temper."

Qingjun smiled slightly, and said shallowly: "Your Majesty, it's the time when officials like to play."

Stay in Kaifeng

Zhang Qiyuan was in a much better mood. As a judge of the Xuanfu Division, he was indeed not as good as the Xuanfu envoy, but he was still considered one of the three members, with a high position and weight.

Autumn prevention is an important duty of the Xuanfu Department. The Jin army will go south every year, and I am afraid this year will be no exception.Hebei and Hedong rebels entered the flames of flames, dragging down the main force of the Jin army. The Jurchen nobles not only wanted to attack the Khitan remnants, but also maintained coercion against the party. Big, to serve as a warning to the Great Song Xingchao.

Over the past few years, due to the conquest of Wushu, the rebel forces in various parts of Hebei have failed one after another. Either they broke through the encirclement and went south to join the Xing Dynasty, or they gathered under the powerful forces to protect themselves. Junzhou was basically pacified, and the people all over the country did not want to suffer from the war, so they stopped their flags and drums.

The Jurchen regime also had people with outstanding knowledge. With their efforts, the Jurchens adopted a gentle policy, gradually exempting the war-torn military states from taxes for several years, giving farmers seeds to cultivate cattle, encouraging production and childbirth, and slowly restoring the war-torn areas to life.

The common people are realistic, guarding their own one-acre three-point land, the first is to feed and clothe the family, don't let yourself go hungry, whoever rules is different, as long as they can eat, many people don't care about baldness.

"The military prefectures in Hebei are gradually stabilizing, and the momentum of captives going south is brewing. This year may be the same as in previous years, but don't hold out too much hope. Once they accumulate enough strength, they will definitely strike Yanhe with a thunderbolt." Wang Yuan, the capital of Xuanfu As the commander, he is the most sensitive to changes in the situation, and most of Hebei is easy-going and gradually stabilized. He has a hunch that the Jin army is accumulating strength.

Xu Han strengthened his spirits and said, "Can the military situation be confirmed?"

Wang Yuan glanced at Xu Han, and said indifferently: "It's completely accurate. The military situation of the envoys of the Privy Council cannot be more accurate."

Zhang Qiyuan slowly nodded, and said without emotion: "I think, as long as the Hebei Hedong Rebel Army is still there, the captives will not be able to go south in a large scale. Isn't there still a Taihang Rebel Army! The Taiwei will increase reinforcements for them and give them more bows and arrows. Let them hold captives."

"I have tried my best, but they are most short of food. The captives have changed their strategy, appease the military states, and gradually compress and encircle them. The rebels are trapped in the mountainous areas and cannot support themselves. We have difficulty transporting food." Wang Yuan said helplessly.

To transport grain to the mountains through the big river, the steep and tortuous mountain roads, a stone of grain transported to the village, only more than ten catties are left.There is too little arable land in the mountainous area, there are too many rebels, food is not self-sufficient at all, there are many wild animals and wild vegetables, but that is not a long-term solution, we cannot divide our troops to hunt and dig wild vegetables every day.

Besides, the Jin army also stepped up its attacks on grain transportation routes, making it more difficult to transport grain and grass, and left a lot of excuses.

Xu Han was very troubled, and said: "Can't we reduce the number of soldiers and horses? It's too difficult to maintain more than [-] people in the mountainous area. Every year, we will be accused by the captives."

Li Gang also had a big headache. According to the North-South Covenant, the east of Hebei Province was owned by the Jurchens, and the court was not allowed to support the people's resistance. The food and grass support became the main reason for the Jin army's southward invasion every year.

While they sent envoys to criticize, they continued to attack Huiyi Reason, and sent troops south to attack the strongholds of the military state along the border, destroying the advance base of the Song Army, which made him very embarrassed. When Zong Ze was here, he did not need a headache in the Privy Council. , It is really not easy to relax, it is not his specialty to control the army to fight.

"Back then, Wang Wenshi was too impatient, which led us to be passive now. Once the captives have finished accumulating strength, I am afraid that the army will be overwhelming! What kind of military reform is he still obsessed with?" Zhang Qiyuan glanced at Xu Han, and said so casual.
