Chapter 873 Ultimatum to Xixia
Yizhe Kerou pushed everything up. After a lot of effort, she finally coaxed her wife. What made him even more gratified was that her son actually spoke.
But as soon as the little guy opened his mouth, he called his mother, uncle, grandpa, and grandma... The relative recognized him all the time, but he did not recognize him as his biological father.
Zhe Kerou is determined to give up the unlucky child!
Of course, he only dared to think about it. His son still had to teach him slowly. He was not in a hurry anyway. The Zhe family's distribution of land was implemented... Wang Luoxiang was quite helpful. She took out a dowry of about 200,000 yuan and deposited it in the bank... Although the older generation of the Zhe family shared the same land as others, they could get an extra pension.
There is 30,000 guan interest every year, which is distributed to more than 200 people, and each person can get more than 100 guan... Although it is not a lot, the cost in the prefectures is not very large. There is also land at home and a large group of descendants.
Overall, the stubbornness of the Zhe family still feels more comfortable than ordinary people, but that's all, and there is no more power from the past.
There are not many people in this world who know how to be grateful, but many are insatiable. Even if Wang Luoxiang pays money, he is scolded to death.
Fortunately, Miss Wang doesn't care at all... She spent this money just to give her husband some peace of mind. She may not care what the Zhe family thinks or says, but her husband can't do it, and her son can't do it either!
So a smart woman should know where to be strong and where to be whispered. If she can’t even learn this, wouldn’t she become a Hedong lion!
However, it seems that Sister Liu has changed a lot in the past two years, and Wang Luoxiang really misses his old friends a little.
Zhe Kerou is not stupid, and his wife pays money to eliminate disasters for him. This wife is worth marrying!
Zhe Kerou promised to personally send the mother and son to the capital, stay in the royal palace for a while, and get to know the relatives well. Zhe Kerou had already written a letter to leave the hereditary prefecture and prefecture. What should the court arrange next? He also had to follow the above meaning.
However, Zhe Kerou hopes to enter the Imperial Guard.
Because according to Wang Ning'an's plan, the local army had to be cleaned up and reorganized, and the original complex organization was wiped out. In the end, the main force of the field battle fell on the head of the imperial guards, and the imperial guards were directly responsible to the emperor.
Anyone who wants to keep in the army will have to join the imperial guards.
I heard that the prince-in-law Di Yong, Yang Huaiyu, Cao Ping, Liu Yu, Hu Yanda and others were all ready to join the imperial guards, and he could not fall behind.
Unfortunately, as soon as Zhe Kerou set off, she received the news, and Wang Ning'an urgently dispatched him to Yan'an Prefecture.
On the way, Zhe Kerou heard that something happened to the Zong family army.
In just half a month, three groups of Zong family troops fled, with the largest number of 800 people, totaling more than 2,000 people.
Most of these soldiers were Dangxiang people, and they fled directly to Xixia. Zhe Kerou was also a prince with a lot of heart. He felt something was wrong. Either it was because of incompetence in the family, or it was because someone instigated by Xixia, or it was because of both!
They were dissatisfied with the court's proposal to disarmament and divide land. Although they encouraged their troops to escape to Xixia, would they provoke the war? As long as the war was fought, the court would have no time to disarmament and no way to divide land!
Raise the enemy and respect yourself!
Zhe Kerou gritted her teeth and said to him that if you brothers really make this abacus, they would be seeking death. This time he left the prefecture and went to Youzhou, and personally went to his father-in-law's barracks to witness the power of the Song army!
As mentioned earlier, the artillery and muskets of the Song Dynasty were under development and small batches were started.
By now, the men and horses in Youzhou have equipped thousands of cannons, and the number of muskets is amazing. With the power of steam engines, building weapons is like drinking cold water.
Zhe Kerou was stunned, especially when he witnessed the spectacular scene of the musket shooting with his own eyes. Zhe Kerou was completely stunned. He felt that the archery, horse riding and shooting that he had practiced for twenty or thirty years had become useless.
In the future, there will no longer be a courage to compete for martial arts.
The key to deciding the outcome of the war is no longer the generals in front, but the factory in the rear!
Whoever controls the factory and whoever controls more population can quickly arm a powerful army... From a certain perspective, the emergence of the industrial revolution completely ended the peasant uprising.
Whoever wants to learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang and revolt will only be ruthlessly crushed?
Zhe Kerou also figured it out, no wonder her brother-in-law wants to disarmament!
At this time, it is meaningless to keep a lot of private soldiers.
Brothers of the Chung family, don’t make the wrong plan and harm yourself. If you really break up, I will stand on my side of my brother-in-law. Don’t blame me for not caring about my friendship!
Zhe Kerou hurried to Yan'an Prefecture, and at this time the army had already started to move... including four armies commanded by Yang Huaiyu, two cavalry troops commanded by Di Yong, 10,000 Hebei troops commanded by Liang Dagang, 5,000 special troops commanded by Wang Ningze, and 5,000 special troops commanded by Yang Wenguang.
Not counting the Zhong family army, Wang Ning'an has already transferred nearly 100,000 people, and all of them are the essence of the Song Dynasty.
The speed of the troops dispatched this time made everyone dumbfounded... In the past, it was possible to mobilize so many troops for at least three months or even half a year. Now, in just over a month, all the troops were all here, and the subsequent food and food supplies were continuously available.
Every general who led the army couldn't help but exclaim that the Song Dynasty was indeed extraordinary. The investment over the years has finally achieved results. Although there are many problems with the reform, no one dared to deny that the Song Dynasty was powerful, and this kind of power was beyond everyone's understanding.
These generals, especially those who are like Yang Wenguang, are even more moved.
"Go on! Fight!"
When he saw his son-in-law, his first words were to encourage Wang Ning'an to start a war.
"Don't wait any longer. The Song Dynasty has already destroyed the Western Xia. It's time to settle the old accounts of the past few decades." Yang Wenguang sighed: "When Li Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor, the Song Dynasty transferred hundreds of thousands of people and sent out the most capable ministers, Xia Shu, Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji, Han Qi... As a result, they were all defeated, covered in dust, and were insignificantly injured. They even had to give money to the people of Xixia to buy peace... Are you ashamed?"
It is difficult to see my father-in-law so excited, and Wang Ning'an can understand his mood very well.
Li Yuanhao did leave a very painful lesson to the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty!
Not to mention others, even Han Qi begged Wang Ning'an to destroy Xixia before his death. When it comes to victory, he will tell him the news, otherwise he will not be able to rest in peace in the underworld!
If it weren't for the insults and disrupting the rhythm and giving Li Liangzuo the opportunity to regroup, perhaps the Xixia would have been able to be destroyed under Uncle Zhao's tenure.
It was not done at the beginning, and the focus was turned on the reform. Now the reform has begun to show results, and it should be put on the agenda for the use of military forces in the Western Xia.
In fact, Wang Ning'an wanted to wait another year to at least implement the northern division, but when the matter of Zhongjia broke out, he also realized that he could not wait any longer.
The pool of stagnant water became more and more muddy. Since we decided to colonize overseas, the Hetao Plain, such a good treasure land, how could it continue to be left in the hands of Xixia?
"Fight, be sure to fight!"
Wang Ning'an said decisively: "But how to fight, we still need to discuss it."
Yang Wenguang had no objection, but on the contrary, he also felt that he should weigh the pros and cons.
In a word, the damn 700-mile sea lies between the Song Dynasty and the Western Xia... In recent years, the Song Dynasty has built many bridges and roads, but it is impossible to build roads in the Hanhai, so logistics is still a difficult problem.
"Father-in-law, I'm going to be honest. I've prepared a lot of big killing weapons this time!"
Wang Ning'an compared with his hand, and Yang Wenguang's mouth twitched, looking overjoyed, "Is it done?"
"It's okay to kill the enemy. It's just that a big guy with a few thousand pounds is really troublesome to cross the vast sea... So I hope to attract Li Liangzuo to come over and give him a ruthless one!"
Yang Wenguang thought, "This method is good. The problem now is whether Xixia will take the bait... The people of the Zong family escaped, but it was a bait... By the way, Jingping, what's going on with this Zong family? Do these three brothers have bad intentions, or do they can't control it?"
"To be precise, it's not that they can't control themselves, but the uncle of the three brothers of the Zhong family."
"What's going on?" Yang Wenguang said angrily: "If I remember correctly, the Cui family had been hidden in the Zhong family army and had a lot of things happened. Why were they so careless?"
Wang Ning'an grinned and said, "Yan'an Mansion is not rich, and they have to raise so many people. If they don't find a way to manage it, how can they maintain it? When the Cui family was killed, the three brothers of the Zhong family handed over the business of the industry and military expenditure to their uncle, whose surname was Zhan and whose name was Zhan Linchun... He is the largest landlord in Yan'an Mansion. It is said that half of the tenants in Yan'an Mansion were for him to plow the fields!"
"I see!"
Yang Wenguang took a breath, "So, it was Zhan Linchun who was worried that his field would be divided, so he encouraged people from the Zhong family army to flee to Xixia? This Zhong family brother is really confused. Jingping, you should punish him severely!"
"That's right. When Zhong Jing came to me, he told the truth. They were quite honest. I also promised to give them the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious service... Father-in-law, I want this Zhan Linchun to be Jiang Gan, who stole books. What do you think?"
Yang Wenguang pondered for a moment and gave a thumbs up.
"People can do their best... This is a good method!"
The two of them agreed and turned around. Wang Ning'an called Han Zhongyan over. Many years have passed. Han Zhongyan was no different from the martial artists in the northwest at this time. Even if he told others that he was the son of the priest and his father was Han Qi, the leader of the Shilin, no one would believe it.
"This is the letter of nationality that I gave to Xixia by the Song Dynasty. You can go there!"
Wang Ning'an said lightly: "Let Li Liangzuo immediately send back the fleeing soldiers of the Zhong family, and compensate for the losses, and pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, and promise never to commit crimes again... Otherwise, the heavenly soldiers will be burned!"
After hearing this, Han Zhongyan suddenly shivered all over. He raised his head and his voice changed, "Prince, is this an ultimatum for Xixia?"
Chapter completed!
