Song Dynasty Cannon Fodder Counterattack Record

Chapter 297

Li Buqi wants to retire?

The news spread across Bianliang like the wind, and everyone was guessing what Li Buqi was up to.According to people's thinking, now that the crown prince is in full swing, shouldn't Li Buqi stand up for his students?How can you be so irresponsible and let it go?Some people speculated that Li Buqi was advancing by retreating, forcing the emperor to make the third prince the crown prince.The emperor seemed to ask Li Buqi casually: "Buqi, look at my two brothers, who should be the crown prince?"

Li Buqi didn't answer this question, but said: "Before going to Shaanxi, the minister said so. After a few years, I think His Majesty should have his own heart. The minister is the teacher of the third prince, so we must avoid suspicion on this matter. Therefore, His Majesty should not ask this subject again."

If Li Buqi could make ordinary people guess his intentions, wouldn't it be a waste of time.Having seen so many dark histories of the emperor, it is estimated that no one in the Song Dynasty is more aware of the psychological pressure on the emperor than the combination of a grand plan and a young courtier with great achievements. At this time, he will desperately fight for the crown prince. The position can only make the emperor more trembling.Instead, take the initiative to take a step back at this time and give the emperor some sense of security, so that the emperor will not have a rebellious mentality.

Furthermore, Li Buqi retreated, and Zhao Sheng inherited Li Buqi's military and political strategy to work on stage. Those officials who wanted to change the Song Dynasty either took the initiative or passively went to Zhao Sheng like Pang Ji. The subordinates will build a political team for Zhao Sheng.Even if Zhao Sheng temporarily loses in the fight for the crown prince, these old officials of Zhao Sheng will inevitably be put into another book by those who support the fourth prince, then these people will complain if they disagree, and they will be forced to conflict with the group that supports the fourth prince. There is a chance of a comeback.

For the above considerations, he was very determined to become an official.After several trials, the emperor was sure that Li Buqi really did not love the power position, and he was very happy, and agreed to Li Buqi's resignation when the Chinese New Year was approaching.In this way, Zhao Sheng became the Shaanxi Zhizhi envoy, and Pang Ji became the Zhizhi deputy envoy to assist Zhao Sheng in handling military and political affairs in Shaanxi.

In the next five years of Jiayou, Xixia showed signs of collapse.Although Wuzang Yepang still holds the power of Xixia and made his daughter the queen, the various ministries of Xixia have been in harmony with each other, and the once feared war machine of Xixia has obvious signs of malfunctioning.

In the spring when the Xixia horses were weak, the Yanyan Road army commanded by Zhang Kang and the Hedong Road Army commanded by Guo Kui launched centripetal assaults from Mizhi and Linfu respectively.Contrary to the predictions of the Xixia people, the two armies did not go to fight Yinzhou, but went straight to the left wing to seize the Jialushan Iron Mine.Because Zhao Sheng promised the Qiang people on behalf of the Song Dynasty that the Qiang people would be allowed to live here for generations, the Qiang people on the territory of the Godly Warriors in the Left Chamber did not have much resistance, and some even "voluntarily donated soil".

After the two Song armies seized the territory of the left wing of the Brave Army Division, Xixia also sent troops to fight for it, but retreated after being hit.Zhang Kang held a knife in one hand—killed those who disobeyed him, and took money in the other—obediently allowing him to trade with the Song people, just like this and using it together, and by autumn, he had completely controlled the area within the Great Wall and the area east of Mingtangchuan.Now Yinzhou is facing a double attack, and it is only a matter of time before it is conquered.

At the same time that the good news of Fuyan Road was spreading frequently, Huanqing Road and Qinfeng Road also frequently launched limited offensives.Because every attack has a limited and easy-to-reach goal, basically every attack will achieve results, and Xixia can only be exhausted.

It can be said that the situation in Shaanxi is now stable and improving. Zhao Sheng promoted vaccinia in Shaanxi again, which gave him a good reputation. attack.

What Zhao Sheng needs now is stability, and there can be no major defeats to ensure his competitiveness in the fight for the position of crown prince. Therefore, many people accused Zhao Sheng of being cowardly, having obvious advantages but not daring to give it a go. Waste of money and food of the country.

Their accusation is an attempt to force the Song army to take risks.If the Song army suffered a major defeat, then Zhao Sheng's competition for the crown prince would basically come to naught.

However, Zhao Zhen still remembered the several major defeats during the Qingli period, and Li Buqi and Di Qing were there to analyze the situation for him from time to time, but Zhao Zhen was always clear-headed.Moreover, since the implementation of the currency system reform in the Song Dynasty, coupled with the food imports from Guangnan and Annan, the financial revenue has been greatly improved. The civil strife in the northern Liao Kingdom has basically no threat to the Song Dynasty. The prime minister and the Ministry of Households are embarrassed to say There is no money to fight for Shaanxi, so Zhao Zhen has always insisted on the slow-moving strategic policy formulated by Li Buqi without wavering.

If this continues, as long as Li Buqi's strategic line is not changed at will, Hengshan can be taken down by putting a dog in the seat of the Shaanxi government envoy.

The large-scale rebellion in the Liao Kingdom was suppressed, but there were more than 3 people who fled from the Liao Kingdom to seek asylum in Suzhou, the Liao Kingdom. Suddenly, Tao Lin had enough manpower in his hands. Now he has twice Take Fuzhou.Continuous civil strife has seriously weakened the control of the Liao Kingdom. The fleet to Liaodong reported that a Jurchen tribe living in the Huntong River had opened up the Eagle Road. After annexing many tribes on the Eagle Road, it began to attack the Liao Army. Buy armor and weapons.Li Buqi is still wondering if this tribe is the Jurchen tribe that produced Wanyan Aguda, but he knows little about history, so he can only decide to let nature take its course.

Wa country is now also in a mess.The daimyos in Shikoku and Honshu obtained a large amount of iron farm tools sold by Dasong, achieved higher food production than other daimyos, and were able to support more people. Their strength grew stronger, and the original balance of local power was broken. Naturally, There will be a conflict.So not only did the daimyo fight with the daimyo, but also the daimyo and the lord, and the lord and Kyoto also had conflicts. Now the sea merchants of the Fuan consortium are busy selling the weapons made by Tamra to the Japanese country. In order to buy more iron tools and weapons, the Japanese are now stepping up mining copper, gold and silver and other minerals for export.

In the south, Annan had already wiped out Jiaozhi, demolished the palace of Thang Long Mansion, and sold all the valuable wood to the Song Dynasty, and Thang Long Mansion was also renamed Hanoi.The expedition organized by Li Buqi in Guangnan also ended in victory. Although there are many people in the body, it is not enough to meet the well-organized and armed Song army. The king of body poison has seen the strength of the Song Dynasty. They had to agree not to impede trade, and set aside several ports for Song ships to berth.The expedition team fought many pirates along the way. In order to prevent pirates from harassing merchant ships, they finally set up Tongyuan Village at the southeast exit of the Malacca Strait on the way back, leaving 200 people stationed there.

Now that the situation has been opened in all directions, no matter what to do next, it will take time, and there is no rush, so Li Buqi can enjoy life with peace of mind.He took the whole family back to Bianliang, slept until he woke up naturally every day, and leisurely went to Qingyuan Academy or Wubei Academy to discuss why there is no Chang'e on the moon, whether the sea level and the ground are flat or curved.

His state of life made Zhao Zhen very relieved, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to make Zhao Sheng the crown prince. His performance was that Zhao Zhen kicked Wen Yanbo out of the capital and promoted the neutral Fu Bi. The officials who were the most active of the Fourth Prince were kicked out of the capital quietly, and officials who were born in Qingyuan Academy and who were neutral in the matter of establishing the crown prince were promoted. Some officials who had just emerged, such as Feng Jing, were sent to Shaanxi Under Zhao Sheng's command.This is the result of pushing the emperor too hard. It seems that Zhao Zhen is afraid of the huge power supporting the fourth prince.

If things develop smoothly, maybe one or two years later, Zhao Sheng will be established as the crown prince, but what people didn't expect was that in the spring and February of the sixth year of Jiayou, Zhao Zhen had another stroke.This time the illness was worse than last time, which gave the party that supported the fourth prince a desperate chance when they realized that something was wrong.

The emperor couldn't see things, all the ministers stood in front of the palace, and the prime minister Han Qi went straight into the palace, sternly saying that the country cannot live without a king for a day, and demanded that the emperor be registered as a crown prince immediately.This is forcing the palace, now only the fourth prince is in the capital, isn't it obvious that only the fourth prince can be established?
At this time, Zhao Zhen, who was ill, suffered another weakness and trembled in front of Han Qi, and was finally forced to appoint the fourth prince as crown prince. The world publishes.

Throughout the process of forcing the palace, Li Buqi's attitude is very intriguing.Although Han Qi forced the palace for a short time and Li Buqi was not there, he did not say a word from the beginning to the end, which made it difficult for everyone in the court to figure out what Li Buqi was thinking.

Thank you Feilong Xi for your vigilance, double update today.
