Chapter 134 Wilderness (2)
"Qiao Dalang, this matter is hard to describe," Song Jiu drank a glass of bitter wine and said helplessly: "After my court obtained Jingnan, some bad things happened. For some reasons, I wrote a letter to General Pan Mei of Tanzhou, which said some strategies. Your Majesty learned that I asked me to inspect Jinghu last winter. I told me some governance strategies. Now that Bashu is in trouble, the people are in exile. Guardian Lu is anxious and wrote two memorials to let me see what good strategies are there to make the people of Bashu peaceful. What good strategies do I have?"
The man couldn't help but feel happy.
However, he was thinking about it in his heart. The court seemed to be really anxious, otherwise he would not even have to use a young boy. He also drank a bowl of wine and said, "What good strategy should I need? Let the governor Kang replace the General Wang, and Bashu will be settled immediately."
Most people think so.
If Song Jiu had not come to the Song Dynasty, he would have thought so.
However, Song Jiu stared at Park Dao on the waist of the man and asked, "Qiao Dalang, it seems that you are also from a military background."
"No, I'm a refugee."
"Don't be afraid. Since General Kang dares to reorganize refugees and let the rebels go home to cultivate land or join the army, I will not pursue the rebels. As long as they do not continue to rebel and abandon the darkness and turn to the light, I will open my arms to welcome them."
The man refused to admit it and drank a drink again.
Song Jiu and Gao Qiong looked at each other. It was actually very simple. After Kang Yanze defeated the rebels, he also chopped the leaders one by one to show them. It seemed that the Han Dynasty had a good status. But Gao Qiong didn't want to be troubled, and Song Jiu didn't reject it at all. Without this cause, then this result. Among the leaders, except Lu Han, he was not sympathetic. Even if the sharing of spoils was uneven, he could not rebel. Otherwise, why would Bashu be in such a chaos? He was a Song general from Song Dynasty!
But he was sympathetic to Quan Shixiong and was forced to rebel by his soldiers. That's it, he wanted to surrender to the Song Dynasty. However, his daughter was stolen by the Song general, his tribe was killed, and his property was kidnapped together. He was too anxious.
Song Jiu said: "There are too many people who died in Bashu. More than 20,000 people were massacred in Jiacheng, and tens of thousands of people died in the battle of Jiazhou. In the war alone, at least tens of thousands of men died tragically, not to mention the people who were massacred by refugees and bandits."
When the big man heard this, he drank a big bowl of wine with grief and anger.
"But your Majesty is the least desirable result. When I came back from Jinghu, what Your Majesty admired the most was my words, that is, I am the people of the Song Dynasty, and should be treated equally. But have you ever heard such words? The generals who are outside the kings will not be given the orders. Lu Han was the general of the Song Dynasty, but he rebelled. Meng Zhixiang, the Taizu of the Former Shu, was the general of the Later Tang Dynasty. As a result, he rebelled."
"So, it turns out... why did the imperial court send this person to Bashu? Is there no other general in your Song Dynasty who can fight?"
"Yes. But how many people can have these generals who can fight, and Qin destroyed Bashu. At that time, there were several countries in Shu, Ba, and Zhu, and they were divided into pieces. The Qin Dynasty sent Sima Cuo, the most war-going military strategist, and it took almost half a year to take Bashu. The Shu Han of the Three Kingdoms was stalemate for decades, and even repeatedly counterattacked Guanzhong under the leadership of Zhuge Liang. During the Western Shu period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, it took the Eastern Jin Dynasty five years to take it down. Only when the former Shu and the Later Lord were too stupid, the army of Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty took Bashu in less than two months. Why? Are the people of Bashu good at fighting? Are there many things in Bashu? No, it is the terrain of Bashu. General Wang and others took Bashu for 66 days, and Your Majesty used it to use combat ability. This is a general who can recover the war and does not need to fight. Do you still use civil servants?"
Song Jiu was a quibbling. The Song Dynasty unified the world and allowed the people of the Central Plains to receive a rare peacetime for more than a hundred years. In a sense, it was good.
But looking at the reality, there is only one Wu Yue Qian Chu who is a climatic person, but also one is a climax. How many other emperors are decent emperors? One is worse than the other. Why do you have to make it so complicated?
Especially the emperor, didn’t he just raise a few idle emperors? Didn’t the Song Dynasty raise few idle people? Why bother to kill them one by one? These people died inexplicably, and later they wanted to stay with the Dangxiang people. Is they willing to do so? So Xixia came into being. From the beginning of the founding of the country, they were full of femininity and a petty spirit.
I saw a report from the court at Jianmen, saying that the great monk Daoyuan had been traveling to the Western Regions for more than 20 years. He heard that the Song Dynasty gradually had a tendency to unify the world. Under his lobbying, the Uighur Khan of Ganzhou, the King of Khotan, Gua, and Shazhou all sent envoys to pay tribute to the local goods. Zhao Kuangyin deliberately summoned the great monk and asked about the mountains, rivers, roads and customs of the Western Regions. This was obviously Sima Zhao's heart.
But without the mind of such a great country, it means that there is no later happening, how can we manage the Western Regions?
The big man obviously didn't know the inside story, and he murmured: "Can Bashu have this great disaster?"
"God knows whether there is a great disaster and whether it can be passed down depends on how hard everyone works. The imperial court issued an edict to summon more than 100,000 surrendered troops into the capital. Do you think it is kind or malicious?"
The great man kept silent.
"Qiao Dalang, if you don't speak, that's malicious. In fact, there are many wars in the Central Plains, with vast land and sparse populations. In addition, some places with severe wars are mostly widow villages and daughter villages. They are summoned to the capital, and resettled to various states, with wives and arable land. One can solve the situation of narrow and large populations in Bashu, and the other can reduce the possibility of civil strife in Bashu. Some people deduct the cost of roads. Since they dare to gather people to rebel, why don't they dare to introduce dozens of warriors to escape from heaven and flee to the capital and report to His Majesty? When the war broke out, refugees also arose. The court did not do well, but did the rebellion of all the troops make the snow worse? But if the sheep were eaten by wolves, they could only make up for the sheep and further reduce the losses."
The big man sneered and said, "Brother Guan, please recruit any first-class people."
"What's the point?"
"You're here to teach you."
Song Jiu casually pointed to a commoner in the distance, and the man called him and asked, "Cen Wazi, how many relatives have been killed in your family over the past year?"
Cen Wazi's eyes were a little wet, and she looked at Song Jiu.
"This is a good official, a rare good official in the Song Dynasty. You dare to tell him."
"Inspector, many people in the young family were killed. A sister was snatched by a soldier in the Song Dynasty. The whereabouts were unknown. The old mother came out to stop her and was kicked hard by another soldier. Later, she died. The pig was snatched, and later the refugees came, the chicken was snatched, and the house was burned. Fortunately, Brother Qiao took us here, otherwise our whole family would have no place to die." Perhaps because of fear and anxiety, sadness, he stuttered, but he barely told his family about the encounter.
"You go back."
After he left, the man took another sip of wine and said, "Brother Guan, you are a good official. If you talk about the strategy, it is simple, kill dozens of people from the leader, and your head will be hung on the gate of Yizhou City. Then send good officials here. Just like an official like you or a governor Kang, the issue of refugees will be solved automatically. Even if you rebel, there is no need to enlist. With a pacification order, the rebels will disband themselves. Otherwise, this revenge will never be resolved."
Song Jiu and Gao Qiong both smiled bitterly. Don’t say that you can kill dozens of senior generals, even Wang Quanbin will not be able to kill them.
The Han Han said again: "Now there are still some food reserved in each village, village, state and county in previous years. The refugees can live a half-hungry life. After this time, I believe that no one should be dissuaded, and they will return to their homes for the sake of their lives. But I am bluntly saying that there are many problems, one is the past revenge, and the other is the land that is now occupied. You said that the court sent good officials, but I have not seen any good officials. Master, you are a good person, report all this to your Song Dynasty emperor. Don't say too much in Yizhou, otherwise you will not be able to go back even if you want to."
The people on the other side of the river were eating pork, and the camp was set up here, but there were actually only a few tents, and they brought some dry firewood to light the bonfire. Everyone squeezed and slept for a while.
Looking at the other side of the river, Ge Ba said, "This Qiao Dalang must be a leader of the rebels."
"Ge Zhuangshi, don't worry about whether he is the leader or not. He wants to have a stable life now, so why bother with the past?"
"Jiulang, he has seen the court's repeated victory and the situation is over, so he is settled and he is determined. What are you in the Song Dynasty!"
"Ge Zhuangshi, the chaos in Bashu is so in this way, not only him, but all the people will not regard our dynasty as their country. But in the eyes of the people of Bashu, all tens of thousands of soldiers in our dynasty should be killed, and in the eyes of our dynasty, more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers and hundreds of thousands of refugees should be killed. Do you want Bashu to become a scorched earth? Even if you have this cruel heart, will they be in vain and the Southern Han Dynasty in the future? Killing will not solve the problem, otherwise I would not have come here. But General Kang is also a way out."
But the problem now is that unless Wang Quanbin is forced to rebel, he does not want to rebel at all. What is greedy is money. For this money, he dares to incite more than 100,000 surrendered soldiers to rebel. The Song Dynasty army mutiny, how dare he abuse the envoy sent by the court?
I don’t know how much money he plundered, but I think it would be no problem to bribe a few. Therefore, Zhao Kuangyin may not be able to hear the correct news.
Either Lu Yuqing, he must be a good official, and he is trapped in Yizhou, and he is also inaccurate about the news about his state. It is Puzhou, he came from Puzhou, and there are many problems. No matter how he arrived in Yizhou, he would give feedback to Lu Yuqing one by one, so that these big names would be sad. Thinking of this, he said, "Go to rest early and strive to arrive in Yizhou City in the morning."
Everyone stop and rest.
But without all the rest, the thirty guards were divided into four shifts and took turns to guard the duty. They patrol far away, otherwise it would not work. If you accidentally block a large number of refugees, it would be bad. This has nothing to do with Song Jiu. Under Gao Qiong's command, the thirty guards were in order.
