Chapter 823 Value(1/2)

The impeachment of these people cannot be said to be useless, it can only be said to be only one hair...

Because this corpse parade was approved by Zhao Xu.

Wang Ju also deliberately said the reason, first of all, the expenses.

It is difficult to destroy the Western Xia capital, and there is also a need to take down Tubo. If the time is not good, Wang Ju might choose to win over Aligu and give him a lot of benefits in exchange for him to be content with his own self-sight.

But if we destroy the two countries in a row, how much money will it cost in the future.

Just like now, the Battle of Huizhou has ended one after another, the soldiers of the three armies will be rewarded, and the families of the soldiers who died will be compensated.

In fact, many Song troops were very bloody and would rather die than surrender. They were bloody and bloody. People treated the court with their lives, and the court at least expressed their opinions. If the court took it for granted, then they would take Taiyuan like Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, and they would not see any rewards, and the three armies were unwilling to fight, so Gaoliang River was defeated miserably.

But this reward cannot be given only two or three guan, and at least "No Wrong" on average, each person will be given 30 or 40 guan, so everyone will be moved. However, the number of soldiers of the three armies participating in the war this time reached more than 100,000, and the reward and pension will definitely generate an astronomical number.

However, if you want to destroy the two countries, you must do this. With generous rewards, and the spoils can also be divided into some money. Only soldiers who have not participated in the war are willing to participate in the war, and only soldiers who have participated in the war are willing to kill the enemy and make meritorious service in exchange for rewards.

The morale of the three armies will rise. Only with morale can the two countries be destroyed. This is the fundamental point.

But in this way, the expenses will be greater in the future. Even if the tax is not increased to the people, in fact, Wang Ju did not intend to increase taxes to the people, but these finances were eventually allocated from the treasury. Therefore, the more they were later, the more people would use this to make a fuss.

Don’t underestimate this group of people. In fact, the Hu people become kings and dominances. It is because there are problems within the Central Plains. Just like the Five Barbarians invading China, in fact, the Eastern Jin Dynasty had several opportunities to recover the Central Plains, such as Huan Wen and Liu Yu, but when they wanted to be emperors, they missed the opportunity. Or like the Anshi Rebellion. An Lushan and Shi Siming fought to the end and could no longer use troops. However, the various vassal states began to rule, and the Tang Dynasty could not revive... Not to mention anything else, the group of Hu people would die!

This is still the case now. If the internal forces are not tied up and the success rate will not be too great. But this opportunity will probably be missed forever.

So with this parade, the front line mansion reported that 600,000 soldiers and civilians died. But for ordinary people, or ministers in the court, it is just a number. Now put these corpses and seas in front of you and let you watch them, so will you still say peace?

Of course, Zhao Xu did not let the team deliberately go around Sima Guang's door, nor would he agree to Wang Ju's secting his disciples to bring a handwritten warrant and make a big fuss at Sima Guang's door.

But that's all. In the past, Sima Guang attacked Wang Ju repeatedly and did not bring Wang Ju to fight back. Could it be that the state officials were allowed to set fire and the people were not allowed to light the lamp? And compared with the two, is Sima Guang a commoner and Wang Ju a state official?

That is, the cause of Sima Guang's seed, and now it begins to harvest this bitter fruit.

There is also an invisible intention, that is, public opinion. The public opinion is possible.

Just like Wang Anshi's reforms, Wang Anshi actually vaguely saw something, just like the taxes of the Song Dynasty, which were several times that of the Tang Dynasty. But why was the Song Dynasty richer?

Don’t say that the Song Dynasty has heavy taxes!

No matter how heavy it is, it is not as heavy as the US imperial family!

Or in the Song Dynasty, salt was not expensive, but it had communication fees, diesel and gasoline fees... Well, I don’t want to play with the low-level thing of salt.

Moreover, through the Qingmiao Law, he has seen some of the role of loans, and through the Market Yi Law, he has also seen the value of business... It is just that in this era, he has the limitations of the times, and he cannot see clearly, so the reform has brought many new disadvantages.

But some reforms are indeed very good, such as the exemption method.

Why did a common man use his bad husband to call a pig?

This is the control of public opinion by some people. What's even more powerful is Yuan Chonghuan. This person is not as perfect as Jin Dashen wrote, and has many shortcomings. But as for the people in the capital who came to share his body after the execution? What's more excessive is that every time the executioner cut a piece of meat, the people lined up and spent money to buy the meat and eat raw on the spot.

Therefore, Wang Ju is on the other side and only implements the electoral system at the grassroots level. The upper class is still an elite appointment system. Public opinion is too unreliable.

However, we cannot underestimate this public opinion. If some people are allowed to manipulate public opinion and the people of the world oppose it, it will shake more ministers, and it will be difficult in the past three years.

The consequences of this big fuss, the people of the world will discuss the past again. At least one thing is recognized by many people. If Wang Ju was in the Song Dynasty in the Battle of Xia, he would not have been defeated so badly. Why was Wang Ju not in the Song Dynasty? It was Sima Guangwen Yanbo and others who used methods to force Wang Ju away. Fortunately, the emperor suddenly woke up and sent envoys overseas twice to invite Wang Ju back again. This was the successive victory and the earth-shaking changes of the entire Song Dynasty.

Then, no matter who it is, it will not be easy to control this public opinion.

Finally, there is the impact of successive victories.

The current Song Dynasty is similar to the later generations. I finally plucked up the courage to send some ships to the South China Sea to watch the US aircraft carrier, but this small action made countless people excited.

The same was true for the Song Dynasty. It was weakened for a long time. As long as the front line continued to win, Guan Wangju would do whatever he wanted to demolish Sima Guang's home and the people would not object.

And the good news is coming again...so the impeachment of these people is only for one hair, and it is not the hair of the head, but the thinner hair.

The Dali River was in the north Suizhou area, the Suizhou area that had not been taken back by the Song Dynasty, and further forward was Hengshan.

However, Hengshan here is different from that in the battle of King Ju's Qingzhou. After the Qingzhou victory, Wang Ju's handling method was very rough. He took the initiative to surrender to the Song Dynasty and forced suppress it if he continued to be loyal to the Western Xia. But the problem is that the situation on both sides of the Hengshan Mountains is completely different. Hengshan on the other side is not very loyal to the Western Xia, especially because the private business exchanges between the two countries made many people in Hengshan realize the backwardness of the Western Xia and the heavy taxation. Therefore, the Song Dynasty showed a little strength, and many tribes would actively rely on the Song Dynasty. Moreover, Wang Ju used so many counter-espionage strategies.

Hengshan here is not good. They are the old nest of Xixia. Even when Li Jiqian was able to gain power, these people contributed at least one-fifth of their contribution.

This kind of hostility is full of that, even if there are tribes who surrender, Liu Changzuo would not dare to take it in.

It is okay to take in. Once the Xixia army arrives, they will become Yu Zanghuama. However, Yu Zanghuama stabbed Aligu with one knife, and these tribes may have stabbed several times with one knife in the Song Dynasty.

It is not possible to force suppress the villages. Many officials on the border of the Song Dynasty said that there are many fortresses in Hengshan. In fact, there are very few real fortresses built in Xixia. The main ones are these villages, relying on the mountain and building walls with stones and wooden fences.

As long as you forcefully suppress it, the resistance will inevitably be fierce. Xixia in the rear still has tens of thousands of troops. Even if you take down this branch of Hengshan, the Song army will suffer heavy casualties, and it is not worth doing so.

So Liu Changzuo's troops arrived at the foot of Hengshan Mountain and drove Baisheng to the south, and no longer launched an army northward.

This picture and a flash of mystery come out.

First of all, the people who were driven away had to eat and drink, and they would burn, kill and loot, which made the people in the originally poor Hengshan area worse. Moreover, in order to protect their property, their families took action against their families...

The front lost its obstacles, and Hengshan became the front line, and some small tribes were uneasy.

Xixia was not very good at performing and did not dare to rescue him, and some tribes were disappointed.

The Song army did not form hatred for suppression. So when the Song army retreated, some tribes took the initiative to send people to show their goodwill to the Song Dynasty.

Then, in a short period of time, the goal of winning over a group of people and suppressing them was achieved.

The rewards of the court were also distributed. In general, soldiers from the five sides of the border were sent to the war. However, the soldiers in Yanzhou made the least military achievements and undoubtedly the rewards were the least.

It doesn't matter if the forbidden soldiers who are afraid of death are greedy for life and death. No matter how much reward they give them, they can't expect them to go to the battlefield to fight bravely, but most of the bloody soldiers feel a little unfair...the morale is available.

So after thrusting, Liu Changzuo led his troops across the Dali River again and approached Hengshan.

However, buffer time was given before, and some tribes had already shown goodwill to the Song Dynasty, and these tribes would definitely become the best internal supporters.

As for the blood feud in Yongle City, I can only let it go.

Suppression is inevitable, but it is not necessary to suppress all villages, but to become selective suppression.

Tens of thousands of troops advanced step by step like bulldozers, and more tribes successively convinced the Song army.

If this section of Hengshan is lost again, then 90% of Hengshan will be taken down by the Song army. Xixia has no choice but to transfer 20,000 troops from Xiazhou Yinzhou Shizhou to support Hengshan.

If only Yanzhou troops were in stalemate, the two armies might have been in a stalemate in Hengshan. Although Liu Changzuo had more troops, he would not have the advantage of home court. Although the Western Xia had fewer troops, his morale was also low, but he had the advantage of geographical advantages and people.

But the problem is that the Song Dynasty still had many troops elsewhere. The Xixia army advanced towards Hengshan and sent troops from Hedong Road. Zihu and Zhe Kexing took the troops from Fulin Road. Miao Su led him to train the border troops for more than two years, with a total of nearly 40,000 troops and 10,000 civilians, and rushed to Yinzhou.

Xixia quickly divided troops to rescue, but Liu Changzuo secretly placed Zhang Shouyi's troops who came to support him in Mizhizhai. When sending troops on Fulin Road, Zhang Shouyi led the troops from Huanqing Road to kill Hengshan, blocking the troops assigned by Xixia outside Yinzhou City.

No reinforcements arrived in Yinzhou City. Several Song troops attacked fiercely. Seeing that the city could not be defended, the chief general who took the initiative to lead the two thousand Xia troops in the city to surrender.

After obtaining Yinzhou, several Song troops continued to advance westward, but the Xia army could not resist and retreated to the ancient Great Wall step by step. The Song troops did not chase after him anymore, but continued to drive the people to Youzhou or Nanhetao.

In fact, it can attract some of the people at this time, but the problem is that everyone is not very relieved about the people here and cannot be placed. It is best to place them in Weiyuan, but from here to Weiyuan is too far away. If tens of thousands of households migrate to Weiyuan, an accident may occur and a lot of financial resources will be spent.

There are many places in Yanzhou that can be resettled, but even when Wang Ju comes, he dare not place the people of Shizhou in Yinzhou to Yanzhou and Suizhou. If they are not done well, they will cause big trouble...

So further expelling is not loyal to Xixia? You are now at your end. See if Xixia has taken out money and food to help you.

If you don’t ask if you save it, it will completely drag Xixia into the quagmire.

If they do not save them, these people will gradually be disappointed with Xixia.

This is not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy.

But temporarily, the Song army retreated from the mountain, and now it is here. The Song Dynasty has no mass base and is located outside the mountain, which is difficult to defend. However, this section of Beiheng Mountain was taken down, and after one Zhang Yichi, the loyal tribes in the Western Xia were also identified and driven away.

The Song army was also ruthless. Even the green poles of sorghum were forced to be cut off by the people of Xixia and transported them back as feed.

In this battle, there were no killings of many Xixia soldiers, but the significance was extraordinary. The entire Suizhou was finally taken back. Not only the entire Suizhou, but also 90% of the Hengshan area were all controlled by the Song Dynasty.

Even if the Song Dynasty did not attack Xia in the future, the offensive and defensive momentum was completely reversed.

The news came back, and the whole country celebrated, and a mountain in Hengda caused trouble to the Song Dynasty.

However, Xixia was helpless in the face of the Song army's steady attack, and the Liang group was even more panicked. However, the Song army's attack on Xixia was temporarily stopped... because the Song army's focus shifted to Huangzhou.

After Li Xian took over Lanzhou, he successively built Kangu Forts, Chulong Forts, Xiguan Forts, Shengru Forts, Zhigu Forts, Dongguan Forts, Aqian Forts, Gaolan Forts, but in the attacks of Xixia, Shengru Forts, Zhigu Forts, Gaolan Forts, and even Xiguan Forts were abolished one after another.

Pingxia City, Tiandu Mountain, Mingsha City, and the ancient beacon tower, four great victories also consumed most of Xixia's troops.

So Wang Wenyu and Li Xian rebuilt Xiguan Fort again.

Then he took the initiative to cross the Yellow River and built Jincheng Pass at the mouth of Zhuolong Valley. From here, he could directly reach the original Liugu tribe, or threaten the Zhuola Army Division of the Western Xia.

Aligu turned against him and the Song Dynasty was not polite. Jingyu Pass was established by the side of the Jade Bridge on the west side of Xiguan Fort, and the Liuling (Qilian Mountains) and Huangshui River were directly controlled. However, it seemed that the Song Dynasty still targeted defense, and Aligu retreated from this road to Qingtang City.

Time passed quickly, and at the end of June, the forts and forts on both sides of the Yellow River stood one by one.

The troops had no impact on the Song Dynasty. The rear of Weizhou was vacated, and a large amount of troops were also vacant, enough to defend these forts and forts.

However, financial consumption will be more serious. After all, the distance of transportation will be further extended, and even if prisoners of war are used to transport food and grass, more consumption will be generated.

But in a military sense, the Song Dynasty completely gained the upper hand on the border, that is, from now on, from the east to Dongheng Mountain and west to the bank of the Yellow River in Lanzhou, the Song army can attack or defend.

And you will see its meaning immediately.

In early July, Xixia allocated some troops to rescue Xiazhou, which must be rescued. This is the "Land of Dragons" of Xixia. If the Song army is ruined again, it will be even worse for Xixia. Several groups of troops from the Song army suddenly sent troops to the Yellow River and launched a fierce attack on Zhuoluo Army.

The Xia army retreated step by step and retreated to Xiliang Prefecture.

Because the terrain was not very familiar, the Song army did not dare to pursue it in depth, but forced the people on the west bank of the Yellow River to Hedong together.

However, this battle seems to be of little significance. It has not annihilated many enemies and occupied many Xixia territory. After all, it is in Hexi, and the terrain is not familiar, the people are not very supportive, and there is lack of mutual support and assistance. In addition to the checkpoints outside the ferry, even if the fortress is built, it has become an isolated place overseas. It can be built but not easy to defend it, just like Fengzhou back then.

But the significance of sending troops this time is not in Xixia...
To be continued...
