In fact, Zhao Xu can't be blamed entirely.

After Sun Gu impeached, Wang Ju went south.

Zhao Xu also knew it, but he thought it would be better to avoid it in this limelight, so he did not stop it, but he did not want Wang Ju to go overseas. Not only military affairs, but also banking departments.

Besides, this matter is a bit big, and he doesn't know how to use Wang Ju.

After the news came from the northwest, Zhao Xu wanted to consult Wang Ju, but the scope of the southward journey was a bit large. I don’t know whether Wang Ju went to Hangzhou or Yangzhou. However, Han Yun was still staying in the capital, hosting the travel agency, and watching the house for Wang Ju.

Zhao Xu summoned Han Yun to the palace to ask, and then he realized that Wang Ju was heading south, but Guangzhou was heading south. At this time, he had already taken the boat to cross to Luzon Island by boat. Don't look for it anymore. Even if you find it, the northwest wind would probably rise. Then Wang Ju would use the northwest wind to reach Fengshi, which is more distant on the other side.

Then there is no way to consult.

Not to mention Wang Ju, even Zhang Shi on Yunnan Road was too far away and there was no time to ask. However, Zhao Xu was still a little suspicious of Zhang Shi's military ability. He might be able to fight, but he was on the same level as Liu Changzuo, Gao Zunyu and others.

Besides, Zhang Feng couldn't escape the Yunnan Road. Not only did he use troops in Tengchong Prefecture, but he also cooperated with Lin Guang to pacify Qidi to ensure the safety of Wumeng Road and the copper mines in Wumeng area.

Therefore, Zhang Ju was automatically filtered out in Zhao Xu's mind.

In fact, Zhang Shi was unable to destroy Xixia when he actually transferred Zhang Shi back.

Zhao Xu had no choice but to discuss with the ministers, some agreed and some opposed.

And then something happened again.

Wang Ju left, and many people thought that these seafarers would lose power. Therefore, some powerful people around who had lost a large number of tenant farmers took their slaves and went directly to the Mizhou Port to arrest people. Some innocent people were also beaten by them and their slaves, and they were also prepared to force the ship to search.

These seamen were not polite. With the orders of Wu Nan, the leader, the armed sailors on each ship rushed down from the ship with weapons. They quickly caught the people together. Then they tied them to a big tree and beat them with a whip.

Zhou Xun, the governor of Mizhou, became angry when he heard this and brought a group of yamen runners to question him.

Wu Nan was also given an official position by the court, a sixth rank official. Although he had no salary, he was given a public uniform. He then got off the boat in public obedience and asked three questions.

The first question is Zhou Zhizhou, did the imperial court allow us to migrate the people?

Then the people who were beaten came over and asked the second question, were they the people of the Song Dynasty? If so, what right do these people have to beat them?

Then I asked the third question, why didn’t you show up when these people beat these people before?

After asking, an old punch hit Zhou Xun's face, knocking Zhou Xun over, and then scolded: "Big Mother, you villains are not enough to force the Shaobao to leave. You want to mess with us. Then you have a wrong idea. At worst, we won't migrate the people."

While cursing, he rode on Zhou Xun and beat him up.

The yamen runners were unhappy and wanted to come up to dissuade them. However, they had not yet arrived and were all put on the ground by a group of armed sailors and beaten up one by one.

All of them, including Zhou Xun, were beaten to cry and called her parents.

The officials of the Marketing Department were stunned.

After almost the fight, Wu Nan got up and said to several officials from the Maritime Bureau. Please inform the officials. If you are dissatisfied with us, we will set sail immediately. If it is full, why do you send such officials to oppose us everywhere?

Ask yourself, are we loyal to the Song Dynasty? Therefore, we don’t understand very much, so we ask the officials to give us an answer. In addition, before the court’s reply, we wanted to invite him to be a guest on the boat for a few days. Don’t you want to get on the boat? Let him get on the boat now.

If the emperor wants you to have an answer, the officials of the Maritime Bureau were even more dumbfounded, and then watched Wu Nan carry Zhou Xun onto the boat, holding it and beating it.

The news reached the court, causing another uproar.

Wang Gui sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the connection between these maritime merchants and our dynasty is one of the bloodlines that Wang Zi'an mentioned, and the other is Wang Zi'an himself."

Those big bosses thought that Wang Ju had left and the maritime merchants had lost power, but they were really wrong.

Zhang Zai now knows the difficulty of doing things, so he advised him to take a step back and broaden the sky. But Wang Ju did not take a step back, but a hundred steps back. Without an official position, it would not be a living space, but a vast space.

Once Wang Ju left, the court had no binding force.

And these seamen have always been very grateful to Wang Ju. Wang Ju was taken off the stage for no reason, so these seamen are holding their breath in their hearts.

And how many officers and soldiers can be mobilized around Mizhou to deal with them? Or mobilize officers and soldiers from other places to suppress them. But they are not in the inland, but on the sea. Before the officers and soldiers arrive, they may all board the boat and sail. Where can I go to suppress them?

Then the consequences come, and the court will not want to take over the other side. Whether this is the wise minister will not take it seriously. The key to those donations will definitely be gone, and the merchants will probably be smuggled again from now on. The worst thing is that this is smuggling on the sea, and the smuggling on the shore cannot be controlled, and it is the sea. As long as they want to smuggle, the court will only be helpless. Once all smuggling is smuggled, the Maritime Bureau will no longer be removed, and the incense of the inner warehouse will also be gone.

These three incomes combined can almost be compared with the salt. Think about it, for the sake of a salt, how many stories happened in the Song Dynasty, and how many officials and clerks were sent to manage and deal with it?

In fact, at this point, Sun Gu and others faintly realized that it seemed that Wang Ju had successfully stepped down, but in fact, they themselves became embarrassed.

If you cannot handle seamen, you can only deal with Zhou Xun.

The court immediately issued an edict to comfort Wu Nan with kind words. There was no way, what about money? Did you lose so much income every year for a stupid official?

Then he demoted Wu Nan to Lingnan.

However, this incident was just a signal. Even the magistrate was beaten so badly that the heads and households were sweating. However, the people they sent were tied to a big tree and continued to torture. So they came over and asked for help.

You can ask for someone, one person will have five hundred stones of food, otherwise they will be taken overseas.

This incident spread to the capital again, but this time no one said anything. What should we do, because they really couldn't think of any good way to deal with the tourists from all over the world.

Besides, the Jingdong area has been in normal times. Think about Song Jiang and other thirty-six thieves who have been rampant for thousands of miles, or think about the Wang Lun uprising, which only had more than a hundred people, and successively captured several important cities. They all the way from Yizhou to Hezhou.

Compared with them, there are more than a thousand more powerful armed sailors on these ships in Mizhou Port. How to deal with them?

These masters had to hand over the grain in shame and redeem the people.

Received the arrival of autumn.

The ship from Japan also came back.

It was originally agreed that the remaining 50,000 taels of gold would be compensated with some silver brought back from Japan, and the remaining ones would be brought back to the Song Dynasty next year. But until winter came, the ships were almost gone. I didn't see the seaman paying the bank to the court.

And this matter is not finished...

However, compared with the Northwest's crushing defeat, no one paid attention to this matter.

When news came from the front line, Zhao Xu immediately summoned Han Yun to the palace to ask. He was not asking about his military affairs, but when Wang Ju would come back?

At this time, he still thought that Wang Ju had gone to the other side just to avoid the limelight.

Han Yun did not answer immediately, but asked, the winter in Xixia is very cold, and in October, heavy snow will often rise, which is not conducive to our army's battle. The imperial court hurriedly mobilized its army until August. Can it be taken down Xixia in three months? Is Xixia even worse than occupies the city?

Wang Ju took Jiaozhi. It took nearly three years to train local soldiers in the first year. Why? The injunction soldiers transferred from the north were not adapted to the climate in the south, nor to the soil and water. After training a large number of local soldiers in the south, they consciously avoided the rainy season in Jiaozhi.

When we arrived in Dali, it was divided into two steps. The first step was to take down the Wuman area first, and then use strategies to make the Gao Yang family fight. Then we officially started.

Only the time to deal with Champa is shorter, but how much preparation was made before dealing with Champa?

At this time, Zhao Xu suddenly remembered what Wang Ju said before, that the national strength of the three southern countries was not strong. The reason why it was difficult to conquer was that the local climate was not suitable for the northern army, but it could be overcome. However, Xixia not only had a harsh terrain, but also had hundreds of thousands of real cavalry. Therefore, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can take over the Three Southern countries. But if you know yourself and your enemy, you may not be able to take over the Western Xia.

Only then did he regret it.

Han Yun also said that although our soldiers in the dynasty are not as weak as those in the Tang Dynasty army, after so many years of training, they are not very weak, not to mention that the three armies are equipped with better weapons and armor. However, the three armies are indispensable for combat, food and grass weapons and armor, warrior qualities, and command ability of the commander.

Can the Tang army still fight a good battle after the generals of Wu Zetian, Cheng Wuting and Heichi Changzhi kill?

Are the soldiers of Zhao State strong? However, can the king of Zhao capture and kill Li Mu and replace Li Mu with Zhao Cong and Yan Ju?

There is also Lian Po. King Xiaocheng of Zhao replaced Lian Po with Zhao Kuo. How about the Battle of Changping?

Zhao Xu sighed: "I will send someone to summon Wang Zi'an back soon."

Han Yun shook his head, Your Majesty, you summon Shaobao back. As Shaobao is loyal to the Song Dynasty, he will probably come back, but maybe he will harm Shaobao. Just like Lian Po, even if the Battle of Changping occurred, what will happen to Lian Po?

In fact, after the Battle of Changping, Zhao State almost perished, so King Xiaocheng of Zhao immediately activated Lian Po. With the support of Chu and Wei, the Qin State was relieved and the invading Yan Army was defeated. However, soon, King Xiaocheng of Zhao died and King Daoxiang of Zhao ascended the throne. Because Guo Kai made slander, Lian Po had to flee to Wei State for refuge. Later, Zhao State was repeatedly trapped in Qin State, and King Daoxiang of Zhao wanted to use Lian Po again, so he sent Tang Jiu to observe Lian Po's body. It is said that Lian Po ate a dou of rice, ten kilograms of meat in front of Tang Jiu, and I was still wearing armor and horses. I was not old and could go to the battlefield. However, Tang Jiu was bribed by Guo Kai, and when he came back, he said that although General Lian was old and had a good appetite, he sat with me and took three shits in a short while. King Zhao thought Lian Po was old, so he did not place any more.

Although Wang Ju is a talent, the emperor, you can't use it well.

Although it was ridiculous, Zhao Xu did not get angry, and he did not think he was the foolish King Zhao Daoxiang.

So he prepared to issue an edict to transfer Wang Ju back.

Mr. Lu asked, what is the position Your Majesty transferred back to Prince An?

Lu Qing! Zhao Xu shouted, very unhappy.

Mr. Lu said that he was not to exclude Wang Zi'an, but to arrange Wang Zi'an with the position of the position, which is extremely important. Therefore, the old minister believed that it was best to transfer Wang Zi'an back to him as the Privy Councilor.

It seems to be a good word. No matter what, the incident between Wang Ju and the eldest princess really has no impact? Therefore, the proposal of Lu Gongzhu was the Privy Councilor who imitated Jiao's son-in-law Wang Yiyong and Cao Guo's uncle Cao Qi. He was also considered a vassal, but he did not have real power.

In this way, it does not hinder the national etiquette system. It is considered that the court has an inexplicable son-in-law. However, when the country has major affairs, it is equivalent to having an important think tank for consultation.

Zhao Xu thought this was a good suggestion.

Mr. Lu said again, it happened that the north wind was strong, and there were still a few ships in each municipality department who had delayed their trading time and had not set sail to the south. Your Majesty could immediately send two envoys to the other side to issue an edict. Then by next summer, maybe Wang Zi'an would be able to return to the capital.

Then Zhao Xu issued an edict, and appointed a long list of official positions such as the Prince Taibao, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, the Privy Councilor, the Duke of Qin, and the Grand Secretary of Guanwen Hall, and asked Huang He and Zhang Quanzhong to be the envoys of the Central Committee to go to the other side to summon Wang Ju back.

They are all top officials, but don’t take it seriously. For example, Wen Yanbo, he has several more top officials than Wang Ju.

The two middle-level envoys quickly moved south, but soon there were some rumors in the capital.

Five hundred thousand soldiers and civilians went to the northwest battlefield and more than 200,000 died. There were people from Shaanxi, as well as Poche, Fan soldiers, a small number of Hedong people in Shaanxi, and many of them were imprisoned soldiers from the capital area, Luoyang, Yingtian and other areas.

The living soldiers immediately report their safety to their families through the Post Office.

However, the dead soldiers had no news.

This also includes 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers from the capital. If it weren't for Wang Shao and Wang Ju, what else could he say that harmony is the most important thing? The Song army is very weak and cannot fight. But compared with the achievements of these two people, how can this sentence be said?

Thinking about the ability of so many military and civilians who have died, I can't stop or reverse public opinion.

And many officials recognized Wang Ju, but their strength was very small and could not help Wang Ju.

But it did not hinder their discussion, so Han Yun's answer in the court spread out from their mouths.

Why did he lose so badly? He just didn’t choose a good head coach. But did the Song Dynasty not have a good head coach?

There are, and there are two people who are no less than Wei Qing and Huo Qubing. But what about these two people? One of them was repeatedly demoted because of the exclusion of the scholar-officials. In anger, he suffered from gangrene. He heard that he has passed away now.

Another one has been taken to the other side of the overseas shore.

Who did it? The people started to search for human flesh by themselves, so the names of top scholars and officials appeared among the people's discussions.

Especially Wang Jue's abolition of the market and the law changed.

Kaifeng City of the Song Dynasty was not only a political center, but also a commercial center. Perhaps because of the proposed equitable business tax, many top powerful people had the idea of ​​hating Wang Ju to the core, but small and medium-sized merchants were very grateful to Wang Ju.

The truth was revealed, so many people spontaneously reflected on what if they touched the eldest princess?

Besides, Wang Ju asked before leaving, how could Wen Yanbo and Sun Gu find out such a hidden news? Are they going to cover up the sky with one hand?

This kind of public opinion is also spreading rapidly with the news of a great defeat.

Of course, it may gradually subside over time. But don’t worry, this matter is not over yet... There are more exciting shows later. (To be continued.)
