Chapter four hundred and fifty second strange mandate
Seeing that the Liao army was so embarrassed, these Song cavalry were all anxious. They still didn't understand that the thickest verbal soup made the Zhe family swallow it cleanly.
Not only Yin Xian, Zhang Ning and others were anxious, but even the soldiers under their subordinates were anxious.
More than 10,000 Song cavalry rushed over.
Fighting here is also beneficial to the Liao army. The terrain is relatively flat. Compared with the awkward Song cavalry, the Liao cavalry is the real cavalry. However, who else has the courage to resist? So ten thousand Liao soldiers were just used as a tool for actual combat training.
But a few people performed very well, especially Zhang Ning. He led the way and killed more than a thousand Liao soldiers with his subordinates, and he killed more than 30 people by himself. What was so fatal was that when the surrounding tribes such as Lelang heard that the Liao army was defeated, they pretended that the Zhe family soldiers of the prefecture and prefecture followed him and cooperated with the Song army to kill them.
For a time, shouts of killing came from all directions, and troops were constantly pouring in from all directions. Even Yin Xian sat on the horse and laughed and cried. These men were so enthusiastic! In fact, if the Song Dynasty had not been trapped in Xixia, there was also the strange policy of defending the internal and external weakness for thousands of years. In the Zhao Kuangyi Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty was mainly favorable and relieved, at least the people of all ethnic groups in Hexi and Hebei still supported and were close to the Song Dynasty. However, the Song Dynasty did not make good use of it, and even the historian could write a great battle of Shuichuan, which was defeated by only a few thousand people, but he ignored the great victory of Fulin.
Han Dewei had to escape again.
In front was the ancient city of Shengzhou in the Tang Dynasty. In the early days of Liao, they defeated the Zhenwu army and moved all the residents of Shengzhou to the east of the Yellow River. The Shengzhou area became a place for idle fields. More than seventy years have passed, and some tribes have begun to migrate here and start to reproduce. However, they are even more unfriendly to the Liao Kingdom.
But not far away is the Yellow River. After crossing the Yellow River, it is the Liao Kingdom's Dongshengzhou City. Its control over the Liao Kingdom is still very weak, but if it belongs to the Liao Kingdom's territory, it can escape the heavens.
Continue to run wildly. Behind him are Song cavalry, whose speed is no slower than them, and they continue to entangle. In fact, when Han Dewei's subordinates are less than two or three thousand, nearly half are killed by Song soldiers. Nearly half are fleeing.
At this moment, suddenly the two big flags in front were all made of poplar characters.
But there are differences between the Yang flag, one with the Si flag behind it and the other with the Ye flag behind it.
Thousands of Song soldiers, led by Yang Ye, crossed the Yellow River, walked around Nuanquan Peak, and blocked the Liao army alive.
Yang Ye flashed out of the battle and shouted loudly: "Surrender and not kill, those who resist will die."
He is really old, and his hair is all white. But no matter how old he is, it is also a nightmare in the hearts of the people of Liao.
And when I ran and fought, I was already exhausted when I ran here.
Han Dewei was silent for a while. Seeing that the Song army behind him came again, he sighed, put down his weapons, turned over and dismounted and surrendered. There was no way to fight. As long as the Song army in front of him was entangled, whether it was Yang Wudi, the tribes around that hated the Khitan would pounce again. Where can they escape to the Yellow River?
In this battle, there were nearly thirty people who killed the Tatars (referring to the Baidadan taxes in eastern Jiashan and Fengzhou) in the Turkic Taiwei Situ Sharic. There were as many as thirty people, and more than a dozen of their leaders were captured alive. Dozens of Liao kings, including Han Dewei, all killed or captured alive. In the end, less than 10% of the Liao soldiers who could escape from the Song army to capture a large-scale capture, and all the remaining soldiers were killed or captured. This is the role of the cavalry, with fast speed, and once a great victory is a great victory. The Liao army will not be allowed to use their speed advantage to escape calmly.
And it happened that when Han Dewei was about to go to war, the Youzhou earthquake occurred.
The news reached Liao Kingdom, and the Liao Kingdom was terrified.
A simple truth is that from then on, the threat faced by the Liao Kingdom was not only Hedong and Hebei of the Song Dynasty. The Zhe family and the Wang family also began to take the stage.
...
"As you said," Zhao Kuangyi said happily in the Political Affairs Hall.
In the Northwest Battle, there must be some differences with the plan of the Western Prefecture, but the general policy did not have much error. At that time, Mi Xin once suspected that Yongxi's Northern Expedition was a major defeat because of the division of troops. It is probably inappropriate to still divide the troops. In addition, the Zhe family in the Prefectures and Prefectures should be on the front line, and to defend the city of Fuzhou and the first battle in Ziheban, the Zhe family's troops were insufficient.
Song Jiu insisted on his own opinion.
First of all, it is to divide the troops, but they divide the troops in a small range, not far from each other, unlike Yongxi's Northern Expedition, which was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. Secondly, don't doubt the right time, place, and people. Besides, the Zhe family soldiers were a battle to defend their families and the country, with high morale and combat power. They would not be underestimated. They would not doubt the Zhe family Song Jiu, because they were the first military general family in the Northern Song Dynasty in history, with real military achievements.
Zhao Kuangyi said again: "Issuing an edict to posthumously award Cui Yanjin the position of Prince Taibao."
In fact, Cui Yanjin's plan did not use any idea of the Northwest Army.
But it was precisely because of this plan that Song Jiu improved it later and Zhao Kuangyi also came up with some ideas. Several prime ministers and veteran staff of the Western Prefecture added their own suggestions one after another, and finally the Northwest led the first battle.
Therefore, Cui Yanjin made contributions.
There were not many ministers who knew the truth, and the others looked at each other. What does the victory in the northwest have to do with Cui Yanjin? Besides, Lao Cui died for several years.
Song Jiu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers who are victorious in the north are impatient and will immediately attack the north. This spirit is not necessary. The battle takes place within our dynasty or at the border, which is beneficial to our dynasty, so our dynasty will win more. If the army goes deep into the Liao dynasty, it will be two different."
Zhao Kuangyi's head.
Song Jiu changed the subject: "However, once the failure is, there will be a minister Gouhe immediately. Is it not right to win or lose? "
Everyone praised it for being convinced.
Song Jiu continued: "This kind of people hate me even more. The internal governance of the country is important, but we cannot be at ease. Otherwise, the generals will not be enterprising and the morale of the three armies will be low. Even if the country is rich and the people are at peace, our dynasty will be raised into an obese sheep. The richer and more peaceful, the more we will be fat. On that day, everyone does not know whether to fight or not when they are not war or war, and it will be the day when they are divided by wolves! Therefore, my memory thinks that internal governance is the basis, but military preparations cannot be relaxed. However, internal governance is still the fundamental. Especially, the cost of military use in our dynasty is more than ten times that of the Liao dynasty. Without sufficient internal governance, there is no sufficient wealth to fight. The relationship between the two is complementary. Internal governance is the fundamental of external war. Foreign war is the guarantee of internal governance. The long-term country and the eternal safety of the country is like a medical insider. There is no inside, and there is no insider, and there is no way to send it."
"Your good words."
Song Jiu interrupted Zhao Kuangyi's praise and said: "If the country wants to govern internally, it must have a perfect law to allow all people to abide by the law and follow the law, which will reduce the harm caused by some bad officials to the people. However, in the end, it is people-oriented and people-oriented. Therefore, it must make good use of officials. Recently, various drawbacks have occurred in the imperial court's use of official systems, such as a lot of officials. If redundant officials cannot properly support officials, officials cannot support their families and will inevitably be greedy. If they want to raise officials well, the burden on the country will gradually increase. There is no other way to decide on the national finance. One is to open up sources and not harm the people, and the other is to reduce expenditures and reduce unnecessary expenditures. If both are done well, the country will generate a large amount of surplus every year. It can be used to support wars and lenient people."
"Secondly, officials are frequently moved. Ancient sages like Zichan need three years to govern the people. Besides, ordinary officials? Therefore, I think the court should issue an edict that local officials in various places can be moved if they have no great achievements or are punished if they have no major mistakes. They must expire three years, and some key areas must expire five years, and then be moved to other places after assessment so that each official can focus on governing the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction."
"This is true for local officials, and even more so for Beijing officials. Even if it is the chief of the two governments, the chief of the chief of the government will inevitably develop excessive ambitions. For example, Zhao Pu was originally a meritorious service for our founding of the country, because he had been serving as prime minister for too long and had too much power, which became the shortness of Zhao Pu's life. For example, some time ago, almost all personnel and affairs of the two governments were transferred. This time was too short. If Your Majesty wants to use Lu Mengzheng, he must use Lu Mengzheng's generous and peacefulness and suddenly his control ability. If you want to use Wang Mian, you must use Wang Mian's agility and ignore his harshness. If you want to use Kou Zhun, you must use Kou Zhun's honesty and dare to speak and ignore his noisy."
"Ah?" Xiao Kou almost screamed.
"You are a good word," Zhao Kuangyi said again.
In fact, many ministers made "good words". However, Zhao Kuangyi may not be able to listen to it, and he may not be able to implement it if he listens to it.
Song Jiu continued: "There are five channels for selecting scholars in the country. The children of meritorious people and scholars of scholars can be promoted and the soldiers who have established border meritorious deeds. The imperial examinations, academies, and various places recommend the strange folk scholars and clerks who have performed well. These five people have their own strengths and weaknesses. The children of Yinpu have seen their fathers governing the government. After hearing and witnessing them, they actually have some foundations for being officials. Moreover, their family situation is also good and they will not be too greedy for money and money. However, too many, the country will protect each other and form a powerful interest group. The poor will become poorer, the rich will become richer, and the noble will become noble. The people's resentment increases, which is not conducive to national harmony. Therefore, this is why Zhao Pu and Emperor Taizu proposed the Qi people."
"The soldiers who establish border merits should be rewarded, and the generals are willing to fight hard, and if they have any punishment, the generals will not be cowardly. However, the country also needs to use them in terms of war, but they are short of administration and can be promoted. However, those who are not both civil and military should try to serve as military positions to prevent Cao Han from causing harm to Yingzhou."
"The imperial examinations are mostly scholars who read Confucian books. Confucianism talks about the great spirit, birth, benevolence, loyalty to the emperor and the people. This is the good side, and there is also a bad side, that is, the scholars often talk about war on paper and think they are self-righteous. Zhao Kuo talks about war on paper and harms Zhao State. The literati talks about war on paper and causes harm. Therefore, it can be used, but they must be used more in the local area and combine theory with practice, so that a group of excellent officials can emerge and reduce their impetuousness."
"The children of academies teach materialism, good at technology, but short of education in governing the country. Therefore, I think I can choose to be an auxiliary official, an auxiliary official at all levels, and jointly govern the country or local government."
"In the end, there are strange people recommended by the people. There are, but I think that there are very few people like Zhuge Liang. They must also be investigated for a period of time before they can be reused. When it comes to this type of employment, I thought of Wu Zetian's employment. She asked the scholars to make requests to officials, and they should be transferred to officials if they are done well, and they should be demoted immediately if they are not done well. This way, there are advantages and disadvantages of using officials in this way, but Wu Zetian really has some good officials. That is, just like what the minister said, it is to see, not listen, and see how they do it, so they can choose. Then there are clerks. Those who can get recommended by officials at all levels are generally capable, but clerks are often worldly-wise. Therefore, how to select scholars and how to use people should be treated differently."
Without talking about anything else, I specifically talked about how to choose an official and how to use an official.
But some ministers were puzzled.
Since Zhao Pu went down, Song Jiu has acted a little avoiding suspicion, so he rarely speaks.
However, it does not mean that he is not doing anything. For example, this victory in the Northwest seems to have been planned in Xifu a long time ago.
Some people are speculating again that the troops were mobilized frequently some time ago, and they were preparing for this battle? It seems that it is not the same as Hebei.
But after Wang Mian went down, Li Mian and Jia Huangzhong would definitely not ask about this matter. Or Li Fang, who came up this time, clearly showed that he was taking the area, and his team was still under Zhang Qixian. How did Zhang Qixian go down? Didn’t the East Mansion lead everyone to protest and bring Zhang Qixian to Hedong? Therefore, he continued to be in charge.
So some people speculate, but no one asked.
But this time it was strange, why did Song Jiu suddenly give so many advice?
It doesn't make sense. Does the court want Song Jiu to enter the Secretariat? This is the prelude to further advancement?
Zhao Kuangyi said: "Yes."
He could also feel that the new Jinshi was somewhat impetuous when he was promoted.
This is a good saying by Song Jiulin from leaving the capital, otherwise Song Jiu would not have said it, even though he said it very tactfully.
The court has won again.
The whole country heard it and was filled with joy.
No one wants to be a cowardly country, and even let everyone choose to be a poor citizen in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but not a well-off family in the Song Dynasty.
But at this moment, the court issued an edict, which ordered Pan Mei to return to Beijing as the envoy of the Taibao Xuanhui North Court of the Tongxingshi, and asked Song Jiu to go to Hedong to replace Pan Mei as the Yin of Taiyuan and the troops from Hedong Road, the troops were deployed by Pingzhangshi.
After the edict was issued, many people were puzzled.
When Song Jiu went down, the power in his hand was slightly greater than that of Pan Mei, but that was only a little bit more. Basically, Pan Mei had the power that Song Jiu now had before. Compared with Song Jiu's current official position, Song Jiu was demoted to Hedong.
It’s wrong. Song Jiu did not make any mistakes, why go on?
Wang Huaji couldn't help it. No matter what taboos he was, he asked Zhao Kuangyi: "Your Majesty, the court has demoted the ministers without any mistakes, which means that the people of the world are disappointed."
Zhao Kuangyi stretched and said, "Wang Qing, it's not my wish, but Song Qing's request."
Chapter completed!
