Chapter 642: It Was A Tiger (Part 1)
Wang Ju was once confused by Zhao Xu.
When winter arrived, Wang Ju wrote a letter asking for handling eight officials, including one of the prefects.
The court allowed him to act cheaply, and officials from all magistrates, military and supervisors must obey his orders. He ordered the officials to take the initiative to let go of their bodies and change the backward concept of Dongman. This is also helpless. Not to mention Guangnan East Road, even if Guangnan West Road is so big, he will continue to ride horses to deal with it. How can he do it?
Therefore, officials from all prefectures and counties must cooperate.
However, some officials regarded it as a warning.
This was also the condition that Wang Ju had agreed upon. And so far, Wang Ju has not requested a penny to the court for support. Even Wang Ju did not misappropriate the income of various pit mines and some supervisors in Guangnan, and what he misappropriated was just a pitiful two taxes.
The soldiers supported three thousand soldiers, and the court gave another heavy reward.
There are nothing else.
Therefore, this right and prestige are equal to the support of the court. Therefore, Zhao Xu immediately issued an edict to demote all these officials, and two of them had bad performance were removed from office.
This edict shocked the entire Guangnan officialdom.
Wang Ju did not take it seriously and continued to work hard. Guangnan West Road also produced tea. However, due to the strange tea policy of the Song Dynasty, Guangcha was prohibited from being sold to the public, which caused the tea planting industry to shrink and self-produce and sell.
Wang Ju invited some skilled tea farmers from Fujian Road to teach the people to use advanced methods to grow tea industry, especially tea cake processing technology.
If you make a move, it will not be sold to other roads in the inland, but it can be sold to foreign countries.
Then we went to the silk and hemp industry. Guangnan turned out that there were not only kapok, but also hemp, mulberry silkworms, and vines, especially the hemp production was among the top three in the entire Song Dynasty.
Some tribes have some advanced craftsmanship, such as batik, but many tribes are still very backward in craftsmanship, so Wang Ju invites craftsmen to teach them craftsmanship and dyeing and weaving. In fact, in addition to weaving, hemp also has many uses, such as hemp rope, sack, and hemp paper... Just one hemp can change the poverty of countless people.
In fact, it is not that Guangnan West Road is not good. On the contrary, there are many products, but no one uses wisdom to lead them. Just like Libu, Wang Ju suggested that Zhao Niannu sent someone to guide him. Just one Libu made many Li people rich, and many Li people called Zhao Niannu the Holy Princess.
Of course, for example, as a large-scale guidance as Wang Ju, most officials are out of reach. One does not have the financial resources and the other does not have the human resources.
Therefore, Zhao Xu was depressed when he heard what Wang Ju did in Guangnan.
I asked you to go to Guangnan to destroy Jiaozhi, but you have seriously treated Guangnan internally.
But we can't say it is wrong. Is it wrong to treat it internally? This is the main theme. Even the conservative Wu Chong praised Wang Ju's approach in Guangnan... Is this easier than asking Sima Guang to praise Lu Huiqing?
Moreover, Wang Ju also agreed that it will take less than a year to three to four years.
Zhao Xu was also strange. Wang Ju went to Guangnan this time and made a soft approach. In the past, whether it was building Zhengbaiqu or Qingzhou or Quanzhou, Wang Ju was very tough at the beginning. He would definitely kill a few people in the first year, using this to shock, and then compromise step by step, and finally achieve great governance. This is called difficulty first and then easy.
However, ordinary officials cannot learn it. Although it is difficult, Wang Ju has the ability to bring everyone wealth, so that they can compromise between the two sides to achieve Wang Ju's goal.
So Wang Ju said proudly, I am not a bad person, I can save people, I am not a good person, I can kill people.
This sentence is discussed by concubines in the harem, and then laughs that Wang Ju is not a traditional good person, but he is still a good person, otherwise the people will not love it, but this good person is different from other good people.
But this episode is obviously different. From the beginning, the "mainstream" method of the Song Dynasty was used to govern, including recruiting soldiers, with bribery as the main, punishment as the auxiliary, and even rare punishment.
Could it be that the place in Guangnan West Road is really so complicated that even the strong Wang Juqu dares to be strong?
Some Zhao Xu doesn't know about it yet.
Wang Ju did adopt the "mainstream" policy to govern, and he also put his heart into it. However, some chiefs were unhappy and even killed two managers under Wang Ju during the transaction, several entourages invited, four cooperative clerks, seven yamen runners, and one translator. Six times the commercial goods were robbed.
That's it, even Wang Ju didn't take action!
It is so soft that it is different from other scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty?
After hearing this news, spring came, Jiaozhi took the initiative to send an envoy to ask Yuanwailang Tao Zongyuan to come to Yongzhou with five elephants. The elephants were dedicated to the Song Dynasty. But he made a request, that was to return the Song Dynasty to Guangyuan and Su Mao’s five prefectures.
The magistrate of Yongzhou was Tao Bi, so he sent a person surnamed Tao.
Tao Bi informed Wang Ju, and Wang Ju told him to go to the capital. However, Wang Ju also did one thing, found ten elephants and sent someone to Jiaozhi. This was given to you Jiaozhi by our Song Dynasty, but there was also a request, you should do it well and release the captured people.
And he also wrote this matter to the court.
There were many elephants in this era. Not only did the people raise many elephants, but because there were many wild elephants, they often trampled on the people's crops and could not be chased away. If the five elephants were trained, they wanted to exchange them for the land of the five states?
Wang Ju then talked about a few past events, that is, Jiaozhi's repeated plunder of the Song Dynasty.
Ding Chao and Li Chao were even better, especially the Li Dynasty. For example, during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, a Liao household committed a crime and fled to Qinzhou. The Li Dynasty plundered Ruhongzhai in the name of chasing the people and killed countless people in the Song Dynasty. During the Tiansheng period, the Li Dynasty asked the prince-in-law to lead his troops and plunder the border people. During the reign of Emperor Renzong, the Li Dynasty became even more unscrupulous. During the Jingyou period, the Jingyou period invaded Silingzhou, plundered countless cattle and horses, burned many people's villages and returned. During the reign of Emperor Huangyou, he entered the Song territory in the name of chasing the fugitive soldiers and plundered countless people's cattle and horses and returned. When Zhao Xu succeeded to the throne, in order to make Jiaozhi stable, Zhao Xu took the initiative to show his favor and gave Guangyuanzhou to Jiaozhi, but it still could not be stopped. Jiaozhi continued to cross the border on a small scale from time to time.
This is open, and what is not public is that they join forces with some illegal merchants in Yongzhou of the Song Dynasty to buy back hundreds of thousands of Song people every year, including Han people, but how do they get through it? Most of them are deceived and deceived by the people. Sometimes they forcefully kidnapped and took the people to Jiaozhi. The treatment of these Song people in the past, what are the treatments of those "black slaves" on Guangnan West Road, and what are the treatments of these Song people.
There was no way to investigate the territory of Jiaozhi, because the five prefectures of Guangyuan were taken back, and some of the Song people were sold to these five prefectures. Wang Ju spent a lot of money to rescue these people one by one. They were tortured to death.
This is how this small country deals with our dynasty and repays His Majesty. Now let the envoy bring five elephants that are not worth the price of five horses. If you want to exchange them for the five states of Guangyuan, can you agree? Your Majesty and the Dukes can do it.
This is not a secret memorial, written by Wang Ju in front of Qiong Niang.
In fact, Qiong Niang was very alert. Now that Wang Ju is doing things, most of her will not avoid her.
Qiong Niang asked in confusion: "How can my dynasty tolerate it?"
This is her cleverness, not to mention Jiaozhi's cruelty. Although Jiaozhi is more cruel than the Xixia people, the key is that they are so cruel that the Song Dynasty has endured it for so many years. This is the strange thing.
"During the reign of Emperor Taizong, Zhao Pu's brother-in-law Hou Renbao was excluded by Lu Duoxun and was demoted to the magistrate of Yongzhou. Hou Renbao stayed in Yongzhou for nine years and was not allowed to be transferred. He was worried that he would die in Lingnan when he was old. Li happened to replace Ding, so he submitted a report to Taizong, saying that the civil strife of Jiaozhi and the court could take the opportunity to take Jiaozhou. He was willing to go to Beijing to report the specific situation to Taizong. However, he was stopped by Lu Duoxun. Taizong listened to Lu Duoxun's suggestion and transferred more than 10,000 soldiers from Jinghu, with Hou Renbao as the commander, Sun Quanxing and others as deputy generals, and attacked Jiaozhi on the bank of Baiteng River. Then he fought against Jiaozhi on the bank of Baiteng River. Although the first battle was successful, because Sun Quanxing's rear army could not stay, Hou Renbao was hit by the enemy's plan to surrender alone, and he was defeated."
"I want to destroy Jiaozhi with only 10,000 or 20,000 people?"
"At that time, Jiaozhi was far less powerful than now. If the troops were used properly, 20,000 troops would be considered a small number. Later, when it came to Zhenzong, someone proposed it, but it was rejected by Zhenzong. So the south had been using the policy of peace and keeping it until now."
In fact, I have made a mistake since Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty.
The first is to be too contemptuous.
Guo Kui made this mistake when he went south. Although he was huge in number, he still looked down on him and did not even understand the situation in Jiaozhi. He hurried south with a large army of 100,000 and 200,000 civilians.
Poor Wang Ju racked his brains to migrate more people, but in recent years, more than 200,000 people have been ruined because of Jiaozhi, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people are still slaves in Jiaozhi...
Secondly, Jiaozhi had no real orthodox at that time. Although Ding Chao and Li Chao began to have orthodox, they did not last long and could not be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. But when the Li Dynasty, orthodox began to exist. There was also the most complex tropical rainforest terrain. It was impossible to recover smoothly and calm the people's hearts. On this point, Zhao Xu also thought it simple.
That is, the Song Dynasty missed the best opportunity to recover.
If it weren't for navigation, Wang Ju came up with the Beibu Gulf pirate plan and replaced Wang Ju, Wang Ju might have a way to truly defeat Jiaozhi, but he couldn't occupy it.
"Official, do you feel something wrong?"
“I thought it was good.”
“Where was wrong?”
It must be wrong, but even Wang Ju couldn't tell why.
Thinking about the past life, the US empire used a private pot to make Syria and other countries worse than the nation, and the people were not the nation, but there were still many elites in the country licking the US empire's asshole.
The Japanese pirates have committed so many evils, and the monkeys in Southeast Asia even said that Japan is a good country.
But on the other hand, these monkeys were even more cruel than Japanese pirates in the future. The Celestial Empire had always endured it and believed that harmony was the most important, but these monkeys were not grateful.
Is benevolence and righteousness not the kingly way, and massacre is the real kingly way?
Wang Ju couldn't figure it out either.
He sealed the memorial with fire lacquer and sent it to the capital.
The messenger who went to Jiaozhi is back.
If it were the king of the folk legend that the victory in Qingzhou was the Great Win, Jiaozhi might be afraid. But the benevolent scholar-officials would just be considered air.
Li Changjie personally met him, and then said with a smile: "We Jiaozhi are a vassal state, China is the supreme country, but your young master presented ten elephants to us Jiaozhi. This is not in accordance with the etiquette. But for the sake of reconciliation between the two countries, our family will accept it on behalf of His Majesty."
The messenger was bombarded back without even seeing the little king Jiaozhi.
Moreover, this sentence is quite interesting. Wang Ju said it was a gift, and Li Changjie said it was a gift. What is a gift? Only when the lower country gives gifts to the higher country is called a gift.
Maybe this will be recorded in the history of Jiaozhi in later generations. The officials from the border areas of Guangdong and Guangxi of the Song Dynasty offered ten elephants to Jiaozhi!
Wang Ju was not angry either, just so happened, and Wang Ju still retained the original one.
So he wrote down his original works and the envoys and sent them to the capital.
One after another, the other came to Zhao Xu. Zhao Xu also knew that Wang Ju was disgusting some ministers who wanted peace, but after seeing it, he couldn't help but get furious in the palace again and again.
In this case, Tao Zongyuan brought five elephants to the capital.
The result is conceivable.
He was also bombarded out of the capital. Your elephant taming is too expensive and I can't bear it.
"What's going on?" Tao Zongyuan thought blankly on the road.
March is here.
Yao Xiong first took 40,000 troops and returned from the other shore by boat.
Forty thousand troops drove towards Yongzhou behind, and Yao Xiong rode his horse to Guizhou first.
Chapter completed!
