Zhong Shidao quickly received the order from Wang Ju and slowly withdrew his troops. Although Qingyan is good, the business is more important.

Not only did we need to divide our troops to support Yanzhou, but there was another place that was not taken down, that is, Qinggang Gorge and Xiamazhai. The occupation of these important places in Xixia was equivalent to the entire Nanheng Mountain (from half of Baiyushanxi to Tiandu Mountain), and was owned by the Song Dynasty.

There is also a natural danger of the Yellow River at the foot of Tiandu Mountain. The officers and soldiers of Jingyuan Road built Guanzhai on both sides of several important ferries in time, that is, most of the borders on both sides. It was not that the Xixia people could attack and retreat or defend, but that it became that the Song Dynasty could attack and retreat or defend.

So Zhong Shidao ordered the two Song army to set out from Guidechuan and Baimachuan in Huanzhou, and headed south from Yanzhou and attacked on both sides. In fact, overall, the Song army did not act badly here, and mainly focused on appeasement.

In the future, the evil will be the Xiazhou side of Yinzhou. One is the blood feud of Yongle City, and the other is that this area is the old nest of the Tuoba clan. Even if it is comforted, it may not win their favor. Just like Emperor Taizong of Song back then, did Emperor Taizong of Song hate the people of the four prefectures of Dingnan (Yinxia Yousui)?

So the two Song troops came from north to south, and the defenders of several fortresses in Qinggang Gorge fell in sight.

Not to mention anything else, just like Xiaoguan, it is the best example. If you surrender, as long as you don’t resist, the Song army will not kill you. On the contrary, you will pay levies and taxes, and allocate funds to build roads, and implement various policies to benefit the people. Xiaoguan is not far from this area, only a hundred or dozens of miles away, but the road is just a bad road.

Moreover, unlike the Song Dynasty, the forts in the Song Dynasty were relatively tall and sturdy. Some forts also built urns, but the Western Xia was poor, so most of the forts were actually built with stones and fences.

This seems to be the monkey country in later generations. Some military implementations were built on the islands of the South China Sea, but it was the turn that the sea was directly reclaimed, and then the US empire turned the Po State into a lackey. Then, the troops stationed in the Po State, and we directly guarded the Maliu Gorge. Do you think you are afraid of heaven?

With the simple forts such as Xixia, even if some people are not afraid of death and fight tenaciously, they cannot defend them.

After taking over this area, Zhong Shidao immediately set up four or five dangerous places, allowing local people to work as laborers and build four important fortresses.

Okay. Nanheng Mountains have all become the territory of the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Wang Ju could do this after the great victory in Qingzhou, but at that time the court opposed it loudly, especially when Wen Yanbo was the prime minister of the Western Prefecture, Wang Ju did not receive support from the court and was very financially difficult, so Wang Ju only occupied a part of Hengshan.

But even this part of Hengshan also made the front line of the Song Dynasty more beneficial, at least allowing Zhong Shidao to successfully capture Yanzhou City again.

Wang Ju gave the order and did not ask any further.

If there is still a crushing defeat now, Master Zhong will commit suicide by hitting Tofu.

He led the family and set out slowly westward.

The speed of this line finally slowed down.

All the way, all the officials of the states were summoned to inquire. Some, even if he was in the Secretariat, he might not be able to see or hear.

Now, if you look around and listen, you can have a more comprehensive understanding of the current Shaanxi Road.

So neither Zhang Shi nor Wang Ju are the generals in the traditional sense. Perhaps they seem to lack a passion when leading troops to fight, but the pressure behind them will be very small.

Arriving in Qinzhou, Wang Ju began to issue orders. A month later, all the Qiang and foreign chiefs of various major tribes in Gongxi and Taohe Prefectures went to Hezhou to meet him together.

Moreover, Wang Ju was afraid that the officials and soldiers below would not know how big the major tribes were. Wang Ju also made an explanation, that is, the chiefs of each tribe with more than 300 tents, and nearly 2,000 people in the 300 tents, and five or six hundred soldiers might be drawn out.

As for the tribes and villages below 300 tents, there is no need to disturb them.

There is another state that Wang Ju automatically forgot. That is Minzhou, but Minzhou is already mixed with Han and Qiang, with various divisions scattered and located in the rear, so there is no need to disturb it.

If no one comes, these tribes must be suppressed in the future.

Wang Ju is the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He did not mention the fact that the British people had always had a noble family. He mentioned Wang Ju's identity and ordered him to summon him, but he still disappeared. It was obviously full of hostility towards the Song Dynasty. But in general, the people in this area did not hate the Song Dynasty, especially the British people in Gongzhou Xizhou and the western part of Qinzhou. Many British people were very close to the people of the Song Dynasty, otherwise they would not have had such strange things as borrowing the seeds.

But after crossing Hezhou and going west, the tribes may not have a feud with the Song Dynasty as they were to the Xixia people, but they would not be as close to the foreigners here.

In fact, Wang Ju did not expect their support, just to make Xihe Road more stable in the future.

Wang Ju slowly came to Gongzhou again, and Yu Zang Huama came to pay a visit.

He was originally an important minister of Xixia, or Li Liangzuo's entrusted minister before his death, but he was just a disagreement with the Liang family.

Therefore, after the war, he himself deduced it at home, and found that even if he did not surrender, the Tubo army that came to Dingxi City would not have any good results, and Liang Yibi would still be defeated. But in that case, he would be in trouble with the surrounding Song army from all directions.

And what he was most worried about was his previous behavior.

After he surrendered to Xixia, he worked with the Xixia people to turn a fertile Weiyuan area into an unmanned land.

This butcher Taibao really came to Shaanxi. Will he settle the score with him after a while?

So when he heard that Wang Ju was about to arrive in Gongzhou, he immediately rode his horse to Gongzhou to pay homage.

Wang Ju asked him to sit down and said, "Yu Zang Huama, do you know that he is guilty?"

What Yu Zang Huama was most worried about was that Wang Ju asked about this, but he was not an ordinary person after all. Wang Ju didn't look like he was asking for guilt, otherwise he wouldn't have asked himself to sit down and asked his family to serve tea. He calmed down again with anxiety and said, "Taibao, I didn't have to join Xixia before."

"Not only do you not join the Xixia area, but also kill the people of Weiyuan, but you also do not know the importance of the matter and bewitch the officials, and even our dynasty in a hurry to attack Xia, resulting in the defeat of the three armies."

That's because your Song army's commander named Gao is incompetent. What does it have to do with me? But Yu Zanghua Ma's dared to refute, so he had to sweat on his forehead and said, "Yes, yes."

He was really afraid, he was clearly sitting there, but he was like a needle and needle.

Wang Ju was thinking in his heart that these foreigners were so strange that you treated them well, and they would immediately have a lot of imagination, but the more you kill, the more honest they would be. This...is not good.

Suddenly he thought of another high-pressure literary inquisition in the Qing Dynasty in time and space, and saw how arrogant the civil officials of the Song Dynasty were now. Not only the Song Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty was the same. In the early days, Zhu Yuanzhang and Emperor Zhu Di were so powerful, but it soon made a mess of this group of Han civil officials.

However, in the Qing Dynasty, I could not even get the qualification to be a slave, but these civil officials were more honest than the other.

Is this human nature?

Wang Ju didn't think much about it. Maybe he had finished his work in the past few years and had gone to the other side, or had been reflecting on his whole life and writing a few books on philosophy or human nature.

He also said: "But our Song Dynasty is not Xixia, it will pass after it. Moreover, you performed very well in this battle, so the official deliberately wrote an edict and gave you and your subordinates a series of generous rewards."

"Thank you Your Majesty, thank you Tai Bao," Yu Zanghuama immediately stood up and shouted.

"After I pass the edict, you will thank the official family again, but before I pass the edict, I will say, don't listen to the outside world's external words. Although I have killed many people, I have always been generous to my own people. But what I want to say, you suddenly wake up and the official family is very happy, and I am also very happy, so the official family deliberately rewards you with great reward, but this generous reward is to hope that you can continue to serve the court like you did more than a month ago in the future. It is not that the Song Dynasty cannot do without you."

"Taibao, I know, I know."

"You don't understand what I said, that is, the court is good to you. You have to know well! Don't become a spoiled son and be unfilial, and raise rice in the fields!"

"Taibao, I will definitely be a loyal minister of the Song Dynasty in the future."

Just remind him. Wang Ju passed the imperial edict, not only did he give Yu Zanghuama Prince Taibao, but his sons also gave him several noble rank officials one after another. Anyway, these rank officials were all empty officials, and there was nothing except a set of public uniforms (official uniforms), but there were also actual rewards.

From Dingxicheng to the ancient beacon tower, these two great victories were very brilliant, but many soldiers were sacrificed one after another. This is inevitable. No matter what strategy or arrangements, killing one thousand enemies will at least damage yourself by one hundred.

Including Yu Zang Huama's subordinates, especially the beginning of the Dingxicheng Battle, Yu Zang Huama's subordinates "rebelled" and made the Tubo military camp chaotic. Then the three Song troops came to fight. During this period, Yu Zang Huama's subordinates also sacrificed many people, and the number of soldiers killed in battle reached six or seven hundred, and some seriously injured soldiers were under treatment.

Therefore, the court took out various items equivalent to 30,000 to 40,000 guan of money and silk, and asked Yu Zang to give him some gifts to share.

Yu Zanghuama thanked him again.

"Don't forget, after you go back, you will take the major clan leaders near Dingxi City to meet in Hezhou City."

"Here."

Wang Ju asked Yu to go back to Huama, stayed in Gongzhou for a brief day, and continued to set off for Hezhou.

When he arrived in Xizhou, he received another letter from Cai Que.

When Wang Ju's letter arrived in the capital, everyone was very cautious.

Not to mention how many people are supported, only the fleets on the other side have brought a lot of taxes to the Song Dynasty every year. Moreover, in the future, we have to rely on the other side to breathe and continue to provide gold and silver to the Song Dynasty. Only with sufficient gold and silver can more silk be issued.

If the court had sufficient principal and issued 500 million guan of silk for payment, plus a large amount of copper coins, at least 400 million guan would be deposited and loaned in the bank office. Once that time, a bank office would make the Song Dynasty's finances extremely abundant.

I really can't think so. The larger the scale, the more swelling it is. The more various disadvantages there are, the more costs will increase step by step.

However, with sufficient currency, it will have a better impact on the overall economy of the Song Dynasty.

So the court immediately asked officials from the Liangzhe Road Criminal Division to personally investigate the various illegal pasts of the Ma family yamen, and at the same time demoted Liu Zai from Yuezhou.

After reading the letter, Wang Ju replied with another letter.

I am not upholding the slander for Guo Yuanzhang, as for it?

The reason why I talk about these in the letter is the impact behind this incident. I won’t mention the other side. Just like Guo Yuanzhang’s workshop, it supports at least dozens of craftsmen. But not only these craftsmen, with the scale of his family, produce tens of thousands of stagnant paper a year, will inevitably purchase a large amount of materials, including hemp, ancient vines, straw, mulberry bark, etc. How many households will this affect?

If Qian Yuanwai could digest Guo Yuanzhang's technology, these people would not be affected, but it would probably be difficult. The reason why the Guo family's paper was purchased on the other side was because the quality was indeed very good. Therefore, as soon as Guo Yuanzhang left, these people would inevitably reduce their income a little.

Since Ma Yanei dared to use 5,000 guan to buy a workshop worth 50,000 guan, I think Guo Yuanzhang doesn’t have much power in the local area, so he must pay taxes honestly and to the Qian family, and he still expects the Qian family to pay taxes honestly?

In fact, Wang Ju was indeed a bit alarmist in the letter at the beginning. In fact, many industries in the Song Dynasty could not be moved by the other side, just like porcelain, the other side lacked high-quality kaolin. Maybe there was, but God knew where, without high-quality kaolin, he could not burn good porcelain.

Moreover, there is a serious shortage of population on the other side, which seems to be a lot. It is almost close to 10 million, but the other side has been mainly based on agriculture and the development of new territory for decades. The huge fleet occupies a large number of manpower. At the same time, there are also troops on the other side, which also occupies a lot of labor. Coupled with the scattered terrain and the lack of materials, many industries cannot develop on the other side.

Even if Guo Yuanzhang goes to the other side and reorganizes his business, he may not be able to produce much paper, let alone meet the needs of the people and trade needs of the entire other side.

However, if the powerful oppress the powerful, a large number of skilled and wealthy workshop owners and merchants fled from the Song Dynasty, it would inevitably have a serious impact on the Song Dynasty.

One household, Guo Yuanzhang, will not cause much hindrance. What if it is one thousand households and ten thousand households? Then Wang Ju's plan to create a large number of second, third and fourth households in recent years will be declared a failure.

Finally, Wang Ju wrote another sentence, "What is Qi people? It's not that everyone has as much power and wealth, but that the court has to create a fair environment for the people."

In other words, Wang Ju was very dissatisfied with the court's handling and pursued Ma Yanei, but did he investigate the clerks and yamen runners who cooperated with Ma Yanei to oppress Guo Yuanzhang?

But it is actually not as serious as Wang Ju said. At least not as serious for the time being.

Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, it was an imperial system and an official position, and it was impossible to create a fair environment. It can only be said that if you pay attention to it, it can more or less prevent the aggravation of many ills.

Moreover, after Wang Ju repeatedly reminded, some visionary scholars and officials would also reflect.

What is important is now...

Wang Ju slowly came to Hezhou, and the chief leaders of all tribes arrived. Miao Su obeyed Wang Ju's orders and took out money and silk. He bought a lot of cattle and sheep to entertain these leaders who came from all directions.

When the leaders heard Wang Ju's arrival, they immediately came to pay their respects.

On Xihe Road, the Song Dynasty was not difficult to govern, and there were very few foreign tribes that excluded the Song Dynasty. There was another good opportunity, that is, the Tubo leader in Huangzhou became the Ali bone of the Uighurs, and it was not recognized by everyone. Huangzhou lacked a prestigious leader, and everyone's hearts scattered like sand. Since there was no leader in Huangzhou, the Song Dynasty was also a good choice.

The disadvantage is that it used to be a tribal system, and taxes were not as heavy as those in the Xixia. It was impossible to win the support of various tribes by relying on lenient taxes.

Wang Ju summoned everyone, and many people came, nearly 400 leaders, and the confidants they brought, nearly 2,000 people, so don’t join in the fun. Wang Ju only asked the leaders to come to an open area, where the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers were slaughtering cattle and sheep in the distance.
To be continued...
