In the middle and late periods of Renzong, local officials began to try to relax restrictions in order to develop the place.

In the seventh year of Qingli reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, Liu Yuanyu, the magistrate of Tanzhou, ordered Yang Wei from the state to enter Meishan, and persuaded more than 400 chiefs to join him and become naturalized citizens, totaling 1,200 households.

In the last years of Emperor Renzong's reign in the Song Dynasty, Zhang Jie, the magistrate of Yiyang County, relaxed the control of the area bordering Meishan and called the barbarians down the mountain to farm. The barbarians were happy. Zhang Jie arrested Fu San, the barbarian leader who deliberately caused trouble in the area.

In the early years of Xining, the reign of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Wu Juhou, the governor of Wu'an Jiedu, comprehensively inspected the idle fields, and then distributed the idle fields to the Meishan barbarians. The barbarians came down the mountain happily.

It should be said that Meishan Man had longing for the Song Dynasty, and now is the best time to adopt a soft policy.

Meishan Barbarians can definitely become the next Southwest Barbarians.

As a result, Zhang messed up things from the beginning.

Zhang is now the director of the Jixian School, the inspector of Zhongshu, the envoy to the north of Hunan, and the governor of Jiangyi affairs in the north and south.

The boy adopted the opinions of Pan Su, the magistrate of Tanzhou, Cai Yu, the deputy transshipment envoy of Hunan, Qiao Zhizhong, the judge, and Zhang Jie, the magistrate of Yiyang, and recruited barbarians in accordance with the tolerant policy set by the imperial court.

First, two "heroes", Li Zi and Zhang, were sent to Liangjiang to recruit them.

Unexpectedly, the inhumans sent by Li Zi and Zhang actually raped prostitutes in Liangjiang and were killed by the local chief Su Fang.

When recruitment failed, Zhang resorted to force and carried out attacks and crusade. The Liangjiang area fell into turmoil.

There were quite a few complaints from local officials at the grassroots level. Zhang Jie, the magistrate of Yiyang County, wrote to a noble official in the court, saying that the killings in Beijiang were excessive, corpses were all over the river, and the people had not eaten fish for several months.

Under this kind of public opinion, even the emperor suspected Zhang of disrupting the order, and together with Wang Anshi, ordered Zhang to suspend.

Su You looked at the report and sighed: "The imperial court made a mistake. Now is the critical moment. How can it still hinder the hostage?"

However, after seeing the end of the report, after Zhang moved to Ningxiang, Su You finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Zhang Zhifu is not only hard-hearted, but also bold. He wants to disobey the imperial order... Oh, Mr. Li, please forgive me..."

While reading the memorial, he heard Li Shizhong whining. Su You thought he was agreeing with him, but for a long time, his beard was caught in the small flat pot, and he kept fighting against him.

He took out a small rattle from his sleeve and diverted Xiao Bian Gu's attention. Xiao Bian Gu threw away Li Shizhong's beard and reached out to grab the rattle from his father's hand.

Only then did Li Shizhong free himself, rubbing both sides of his chin with both hands: "Oh, this kid... his hands are so strong! How did the Lord manage it?!"

Su You took the small flat jar and placed it on his lap. The flat jar kept giggling and bumping against his lap.

Li Shizhong then asked: "What did Mingrun mean just now?"

Su You said: "Zhang Zhifu took the east road because he was preparing to play a ruthless game."

Li Shizhong thought for a while, and a serial number suddenly popped up in his memory, and he couldn't help but be horrified: "Guang Rui of the Western Army!"

…

Zhang is now sitting in the Xiangxiang Shegang, with a scholar standing next to him.

Liu Si and Wu Kui looked at the two people in the hall and couldn't help but sigh that there are so many handsome guys in the Song Dynasty.

"History of the Song Dynasty" commented that "he is handsome, handsome, erudite and good at writing."

The man next to him was later evaluated by the history of Song Dynasty as "a majestic figure, with a handsome appearance like jade. He was full of vindictiveness and looked down upon for the rest of his life."

Zhang Shangying, courtesy name Tianjue, was born in Xinjin, Shuzhou.

When the barbarians rebelled in Yuzhou, Zhang Shangying was the chief registrar of Tongchuan County in Kuizhou. When the barbarians fought among themselves, it was Zhang Shangying who persuaded Wang Yan to surrender and establish Nanchuan County.

Zhang was a man of great talent and arrogant character. When he was in charge of the Kui Yi, he often insulted the county officials, and no one dared to chat with him.

This was not going to work. Liu Si worked in logistics and had dealt with Zhang Shangying several times on grain and grass delivery. He felt that he should be able to negotiate with Zhang, so he sent a message asking him to come to Kuizhou.

It happened that Zhang asked Liu Si about talents on Kuizhou Road, and Liu Si recommended Zhang Shangying.

Zhang then invited Zhang Shangying to have dinner with him and take a test on his knowledge.

Zhang Shangying came wearing a Taoist priest's uniform, bowed her head and sat down.

"If you speak wantonly, Shang Ying will randomly break it and fall out of it."

Liu Si was sitting with him and was frightened when he heard this. I asked you to ease the atmosphere, not to anger Zhang Qi, a stubborn ass.

Then "I'm very happy, Yan is my guest."

Liu Si had no choice but to roll his eyes. Literary people are really weird. My young master is no less knowledgeable than you, and he doesn't pretend to be like you!

But now the two of them are standing and sitting together, it looks really good...

Zhang coughed: "Jiyuan, what are you thinking about?"

Only then did Liu Si come back to his senses: "Oh, Ming Gong, now the first harvest of rice in Xiangxiang has been harvested. Guangrui's army has three thousand households, nearly five thousand people, and more than twenty-four thousand people. A total of ten grains have been harvested.

Eighty thousand stones."

Zhang Shangying was overjoyed: "In this way, the army will not have to worry about running out of food."

Zhang looked Wu Kui up and down: "Are you Wu Kui?"

Wu Kui quickly bowed: "Yes."

Zhang said: "You are lucky. You can survive even if you rebel against the imperial court. Su Mingrun is just too soft-hearted."

Wu Kui was so frightened that he knelt down: "You guys are all forced, forced...Ming Gong, we really had no way to survive at that time..."

Zhang said coldly: "Now that we have a chance to forgive our sins, can the Guangrui Army still fight?"

Wu Kui was a little hesitant: "Yes, yes... it's just... it's just..."

Zhang asked: "Just what?"

Wu Kui knocked his head on the ground: "The mountain people are innocent, the killings in Beijiang are already in full swing, and the punishment is sufficient. Wu Kui begs Duke Ming to take back this life."

Zhang sneered: "In the whole world, is it the land of the king? On the shore of the land, is it the ministers of the king. If you don't obey the king, you will be punished no matter how far away you are! It's that simple. Why are you afraid?!"

Wu Kui said: "No, Ming Gong wants a large army. Guangrui's army can gather 3,000 people in a blink of an eye. There is no problem for brothers to fight."

"However, when the mountain people heard that the imperial court had recruited them, they were all overjoyed at first. It was the two bastards Li Zi and Zhang who acted recklessly, raped prostitutes, and blackmailed Jin Bao, which led to the civil uprising. Those two people should have been killed, not Su

Big brother’s fault!”

"Brother Su?" Zhang's eyes grew colder: "Are you still colluding with foreign enemies?"

Wu Kui Gang said: "This villain will die a hundred times. This life belongs to your Majesty a long time ago, not mine! If your Majesty wants to take it back, just take it. But I still want to say that the mountain people are not bad people, and neither is Brother Su."

Traitor!"

"We just arrived here and are not familiar with the place. After Brother Su saw us, he sent people down the mountain and helped us a lot."

"Taoist Master Liao of Tianshi Dao went deep into Meishan Mountain and preached powdered medicine. We are all on good terms with each other."

"They are short of salt, so they often exchange salt with us. There are many tigers, leopards, insects and ants around Xiangxiang, and we often work together to hunt them. Ming Gong, they are really not bad people! No need to fight, just recruit them."

Zhang said: "Now they are not accepted, what should I do?"

Wu Kui said: "Yes, I will definitely do it! I dare to guarantee it with my life!"

Zhang waved his hand and an old monk came in from outside the house.

Zhang said to the old monk: "Zen Master Yingquan, how is this person?"

The old monk lowered his eyebrows and said, "This is the Vajra Protector."

Zhang laughed loudly: "In this case, there is Zen Master Lao."

From the perspective of Zhang's original intention, it would be best to kill all the barbarians.

However, a capable minister can flexibly change his strategy here after assessing the situation.

Cai Yu, Hunan's deputy transit envoy, was leading an inspection tour of two counties and garrisoning Qixing Village. Unexpectedly, he was attacked by a powerful sniper from Meishan barbarians at Lion Mountain and was unable to move any further.

Now that food and salary were about to be exhausted, Liu Si discussed with Tianshi Dao and local religious figures and learned that Zen Master Ying Quan of Miyin Temple in Weishan was highly respected by the local barbarians, so he asked him to come out of the mountain and recruit the barbarians to surrender again.

Zen Master Yingquan had a bad impression of Zhang and refused.

So Zhang and Zhang Shangying visited in person and talked about Buddhism with Zen Master Ying Quan for a day. Zen Master Ying Quan felt that the child had a decent attitude and could be saved. After being brushed off by two handsome guys, Zen Master Ying Quan finally agreed to go out and persuade Su Fang.

However, the previous turmoil was purely caused by Zhang's improper selection of people. Therefore, Zen Master Yingquan requested that the selection of people should be based on his actual inspection.
