Chapter 740: Cracked Car (Part 2)(1/2)

It was the end of the year, and the Liao Kingdom asked officials from Zhuozhou to transfer their certificates to Xiongzhou. The document stated that the Xia Kingdom came to say that the Southern Dynasty soldiers were named and that the accident was unexpected. I asked the two countries to enjoy the joy and make a good look for the old.

Overall, Xiao Feng, the eldest brother Yelu Hongji, has a very slow reaction ability.

There is also a long journey.

Therefore, the situation in Xixia was not good, so we came to "mediation".

Zhao Xu returned, the king of Xia was awarded the title of Song Dynasty. Yesterday, the border minister said that Bingchang was imprisoned by his mother party. He ordered the order to ask about the troubles, but he did not respond to his evil deeds. He led tens of thousands of troops to invade our border, and he should fight. Now, he has suffered repeated defeats and sent envoys to express his feelings. He is in the midst of the situation, and he must have already observed them.

Don't take this reward seriously.

Moreover, the Liao Kingdom began to pay attention at this time and received news of the defeat of the five major troops of the Song Dynasty.

Anyway, the Song Dynasty cannot destroy Xixia, so let’s fight. The more lively the fight, the happier we are.

Therefore, I didn't say anything more.

However, Zhao Xu couldn't swallow this anger.

Although he returned from a crushing defeat in this attack of Xia, it also turned Xixia into rubble, so Li Xian did not retreat after retreating to Lanzhou. In addition, the operations of the Deshun Army and Zhenrong Army in the Song Dynasty, as well as the forts built by Xixia in Huizhou, Qu Wushan and Tiandu Mountain were destroyed by Li Xian. So Li Xian wrote a letter in the first month of the lunar month to propose that from this, he would send troops to build forts and forts and push them all to Tiandu Mountain and Xiaoguan. Even based on Xiaoguan, Hulu River could be transported by small boats, and pushed them to Mingsha City, directly threatening the safety of Lingzhou.

In fact, this strategy was applied to the Northern Song Dynasty in the future, and it successively obtained Huizhou, Xi'an Prefecture (Tiandu Mountain Area) and Huaide Army from Xixia. Although it was not pushed to Mingsha City, Xiaoguan took it back and even directly threatened Xixia's rule over several states in the Hexi Corridor. Then... the Jin people came.

However, Zhong Yan also wrote a letter to propose that the interests of both sides were mainly in the desert, so the focus of the Song Dynasty should be on the mountain boundary (referring to Dongheng Mountain). It cannot be said that Zhong Yan was wrong. If he got this Dongheng Mountain, then there would be no need for his East Second Army to attack Shizhou, Xiazhou, and Youzhou. He could directly cross Hengshan and attack several states, even including Yanzhou. The grain supply could also be transported directly from Hengshan to the front line. So the tragedy of the three armies of Yanzhou collapsed due to insufficient supply?

It is not possible to say that Zhong Ye’s strategy is wrong just because of the Battle of Yongle City.

In fact, the two strategies are similar, both are medium-sized shallow attack tactics.

Whether it can be executed well depends on the main general...

However, due to the damage to the troops and the consumption of a large amount of financial materials this time, the Song Dynasty could only consider the whole way.

Either start a shallow attack from the southwest or start a shallow attack from the northeast.

So Xu Xi went down to inspect the court in May.

However, because of Wang Ju's appearance and Han Yun's prompt, an extremely important issue was revealed to everyone. That is the impact of the ability of the general on the victory or defeat of the war.

So Zhao Xu was thinking in his heart that Zhong Yan is very good at fighting, Xu Xi reads military books, so the two of them should be good at cooperating...

On the other hand, because of the unruly Haike's rebelliousness, Zhao Xu felt a little unhappy.

Spring is here.

The ships on the other side returned one after another.

The extremely arrogant seafarer Wu Nan came directly to the capital and reported to the court that the gold promised on the other side would be transported to the capital soon.

Although the Song Dynasty suffered heavy losses last year, because the inner treasury and the national treasury reserved a lot of money and silk, the storage area in the southeast corner of the capital was filled with countless food and grass, so the Song Dynasty did not experience a financial crisis.

However, this battle has reduced the reserves by more than half.

If you really take over Xixia, don’t say half of it and use it all up, Zhao Xu will not be heartbroken. Did you win Xixia?

In fact, it cannot be said that it is useless. Although the defeat in this battle was very bad, it greatly consumed the power of Xixia. Not only that, it also obtained the Xijuncheng area, Lanzhou and Kangu. The northeast also obtained important military camps such as Mizhi and Futu.

Compared with these gains, the price paid is too high.

Therefore, this gold is even more important to the current Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xu sent an envoy to verbally commend Wu Nan. In fact, if it weren't for Wu Nan beat Zhou Xun and the yamen runners last year and detained Zhou Xun directly for more than ten days, maybe Zhao Xu would have given Wu Nan a title.

However, Wu Nan would not care about this official position, unless he was given a high-level official, but that was impossible.

Then wait for gold.

However, Wu Nan sent many people to Shaanxi. Come to the capital quickly. I hired many big ships in the capital and took you directly to Hangzhou. After autumn, I will take you to the other side. The other side is beautiful, and the Shaobao is on the other side.

What, you, a widow, can't go to the other side to survive. You are wrong to think this way. You know how expensive perfume is. Do you know how perfume is made? Can you eat it with your physical strength? Can you eat it with it with it? Then let's go.

You should know that in this battle last year, the casualties of soldiers may be insufficient or barely close to 40%, but the casualties of civilians reached more than 50%!

These people are all pillars at home. Dead in foreign lands means that the family will be disbanded.

Although the court also gave some pensions, how much pensions can be given after so many people died? Moreover, the officials and generals above had to deduct some of them.

Moreover, Wang Ju has great prestige in Shaanxi, especially in the Huanqing Road area.

Hearing this news, countless people in Shaanxi rushed towards Guanzhong with simple dry food, and then rushed from Tongguan to the capital.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu was shocked.

If there is no force from the Western Xia, just leave, and maybe it can protect the deteriorating water and soil.

However, there is a Xixia next to you. These people left together. Who will rely on to transport food and grass to protect the border in the future?

Zhao Xu had no choice but to summon Wu Nan to the palace to question him.

Wu Nan said: "Your Majesty, the two envoys went to Fengzhou and brought the news of their crushing defeat last year. The Shaobao found me and told me that because of the harm of Xixia, Shaanxi Road was originally the best area at the beginning of our country, but now it has become the most difficult area. The people live in a difficult life. Last year, the people of Shaanxi Road were even worse. Therefore, I told me to try to migrate the people of Shaanxi Road to the other side to settle down, especially the families of the martyrs."

"What Wang Qing ordered?"

"Your Majesty, it is. The people arranged by me also ordered the families of martyrs to be the main ones. They are all orphans and widows, and they have no help to the border. On the contrary, it is the burden of the country. In fact, in order to migrate them, we will spend more, and it will be more difficult to resettle them in the future."

"Wu Nan, I have agreed with you that you will allow you to migrate 35,000 households every year, but how many people have moved last year? The various municipalities reported it. It may be twice the agreed number."

"Your Majesty, I don't want to do anything. I have moved a lot. I am also under great pressure. But those people begged hard, and winter comes. Once I leave, these poor people cannot guarantee their food and clothing. I can't bear it, and finally bring them to the other side."

Zhao Xu didn't want to continue talking anymore.

Let’s move, anyway, the growth rate of the people’s annual growth is very amazing. As for the pressure to resettle the people, it has nothing to do with me.

In fact, he was really misled by Wang Ju. Of course, resettlement of the people will bring some financial expenditures. However, these resettlement expenses are loans, not free payments.

This is also what Wang Ju repeatedly noticed, such as the promotion of Mien and the fighting of Mien.

All of them were given free of charge, which made some people have terrible thoughts that were taken for granted.

Therefore, although there are fiscal expenditures, they are not too large, and there are some disadvantages of fiscal delays.

In addition, all walks of life on the other side have begun to have some scale, such as these women and children. The reason why they say they are growing flowers is just easier to understand. In fact, in addition to this flower industry, there are also many processing industries and service industries with light labor.

Plus Guangmo's living space. Not to mention 35,000 households a year, even if you give one household a year, there is a way to settle it there.

The reason why 35,000 households is just to give everyone a reassurance... The ability of the other side is still limited, so that they will avoid being missed.

Zhao Xu thought about it and said, "I allow you to move, but these people will definitely be placed for me."

"Here."

"Also, Shaanxi Road is the key to the Song Dynasty. I allow you to migrate the families of martyrs, but ordinary families are not allowed to migrate."

"After I leave the palace, I will go and instruct my servants immediately."

"Two middle-class envoys met Wang Qing?"

“See it.”

"What did Wang Qing say?"

"Your Majesty, this is not something that I can ask about."

Wu Nan retreated.

But the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Someone must have chewed his tongue.

So on the evening of the third day, he brought a few people to block Sun Gu who was on duty and asked, "Grandpa Sun, Shaobao killed people in Jiaozhi. You said he was a butcher. Shaobao killed people in Shaanxi. You also said he was a butcher, and tried every means to return the prisoners of war to Xixia. Now that Xixia has killed 500,000 soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty, I wonder what Mr. Sun felt?"

Sun Gu's house is not far from Xuande Gate, so it is a prosperous area.

As soon as Wu Nan blocked, many people gathered around to watch.

After hearing this, they shouted together, "Good questions, good questions."

Wu Nan asked again: "Young Guardian has an affair with the eldest princess. How did you find out such confidential news? Do you have a group of scouts who are even more powerful than the Imperial City Department?"

In fact, some people have thought so, but no one is so direct.

Well said, well said, and someone agreed.

If Wang Ju is not forced to leave, then what will happen?

"The people who have made great contributions to the Song Dynasty were forced to leave one by one. Di Qing forced the cervix to die, Wang Shao forced the cervix to die, and Shao Bao forced the corpus to leave overseas. Are you very happy about the grandpa Sun?"

Sun Gu was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick.

But he didn't dare to speak. This guy was very rude. Last year, he held Zhou Xun down and beat him up, and imprisoned him for more than ten days before he put him off the boat.

If you are beaten up in front of so many people, you will be embarrassed.

However, his servants were also alert and took many people to come to watch the fun, sneaked away, and went to Kaifeng Prefecture to report the case.

Wu Nan didn't notice it and said to everyone: "This is the case for those who have made great contributions to the Song Dynasty, but for those who have no contributions to the Song Dynasty, they can always be rich and prosperous because they can use some small means. Isn't it strange? Just because a few people have the means, 500,000 men have their souls cut off. What kind of world is this?"

OK, well said.

Countless people cheered.

"Mr. Sun, 500,000 good men were sacrificed because you forced the Shaobao to leave. So many people died and so many families broke down. But you stayed in the court safely. I ask you, have you asked yourself, feel ashamed?"

"If someone becomes the prime minister, he is too late to be happy. What's there to be ashamed of? This hero, you are so worried." Someone echoed.

Some of the other people laughed, some cursed, and one of the people might also be the victim of this battle, crying among the crowd.
To be continued...
