Chapter 470
"Zi'an, Mr. Jiefu did not take advantage of this great opportunity." Zhang Feng said.
Wang Ju's expenses made Wang Anshi heartbroken, but Wang Anshi couldn't blame him all. The reforms were good, and the reforms were over. In short, it was to eliminate the various ills of the country and resolve the crisis of the country.
But what was the biggest crisis in the Song Dynasty that Wang Anshi took over? Finance!
Therefore, the primary task of Wang Anshi's reform is to eliminate the national deficit and fill the national treasury and internal treasury. If the national treasury has no money and food, how to revive disasters and how to use troops? Secondly, some of the shortcomings of reforming the country.
The best example is the exemption law that has just been put on the agenda. One is to correct the disadvantages of the original servant law, and the other is to make money. Therefore, there is the slim leftover money.
Therefore, even though the battle in Qingzhou is very important, Wang Anshi still couldn't get up with money.
However, with the deepening of reforms, many contradictions have been caused.
In fact, this is a great opportunity to transfer conflicts.
Unlike Wang Shao, it was "invasion of foreign countries", and this war was a completely "self-defense counterattack". There were all kinds of righteousness.
If Wang Anshi makes good use of it, he will bring the best loosening pressure to his reforms. At least there is no reform. Can there be sufficient financial support for this war?
"Mr. Jiefu is so noble."
It’s not that Wang Anshi doesn’t understand, nor that Wang Anshi is noble, but that Wang Anshi and Wang Ju are not people all the way. Besides, Wang Anshi lacks a little military and dare not gamble on King Ju and 80,000 to defeat 300,000. But what can Wang Ju say?
"The people are suffering, the people are suffering, the people are suffering." Wang Ju looked at the vast retreating people and sighed.
It should be said that Wang Ju's evacuation policy this time is very humane.
There is no way to bring the bulky pots, pans, tables, chairs, houses and houses in the people's houses. But what do the Xixia people want them to do? Could they burn them to vent their anger? Even so, it is better than destroying the village.
The precious colored gold, silver and soft softness were taken away. The only thing that was "storage" was the valuable clothing fabric. These clothing fabrics also made the people mark themselves and registered them. It may cause some confusion during the screening after the war, but this is not serious.
The key is food and grass. After the grain and grass are identified and weighed into each fort, there will be errors. However, after the war, there is an additional compensation of 20% enough to prevent the people from suffering losses.
The valuable big livestock, such as horses, ox, donkeys, mules, and camels, were reluctant to kill Wang Ju. What the Song Dynasty lacked the most was these big livestock. All these big livestock were taken away by the people with goods, and Wang Ju prepared fodder for these people in the rear.
The remaining pigs, sheep and poultry may also have some errors when valuing them. However, half of the meat slaughtered on the spot was given to the people for replenishment on the road for free. Are you not satisfied?
This was almost a large evacuation made of gold and silver. After the war, the imperial court still didn't know how much money it cost.
But many troubles arise in actual execution.
Time is in a hurry and there is no big problem. Even if some villages that were not too late to transport them to the forts and forts, they were registered and subsidies were given after the war and burned down on the spot.
The problem is mainly in the reputation of the court.
Just like pigs, sheep and poultry are slaughtered on the spot, if the court can take out money and silk and distribute it to the people on the spot, the people will be enthusiastic. However, even if there are so much money and silk from Curry in Qingzhou Prefecture, Wang Ju's official is different from Zhang Kang and has the right to distribute it. These money and silk must be used to reward soldiers to kill the enemy.
Then the people can only believe the credibility of the country, or Li Fugui's credibility.
How much credibility can Li Fugui have? Even if Wang Ju appears officially, he may not be able to convince all the people.
Therefore, many people were unwilling to accept this order, so they had to intimidate, saying that hundreds of thousands of enemy troops were coming soon, and this was for your safety.
There are still many people who don’t believe it. Even if they believe it, they are still nervous and leave Qingzhou crying.
The fatal thing is that there are more than 50,000 households in the Qinghuan Prefectures, which have nothing to do with the household registration. There are only 30,000 households on the household registration. However, the foreigners really ignore it. The number of households to be evacuated is as high as more than 30,000 households, and nearly 200,000 people!
How much panic and chaos will this huge evacuation bring?
"There is no peace in Xixia, and the war will continue to stop."
"Yes, the three armies are about to be assembled, let's go down." Wang Ju said.
This is the 23rd Battalion of the Poche Army that rushed to the forts on all fronts.
Some people passed by here and watched curiously as more than 10,000 people gathered.
Wang Ju walked up to them and said loudly: "Everyone, do you see the tragic phenomena of these evacuated villagers? Is it painful?"
There were a lot of people, and not every soldier could hear Wang Ju's shouting, but the soldiers had to be conveyed one by one. After the transmission, more than 10,000 people shouted in unison: "I feel sad!"
But they also don't understand why this large-scale evacuation was made.
Wang Ju said again: "During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Hu people repeatedly invaded our Central Plains. Why did they invade our Central Plains? Because the Central Plains are rich. Why is the Central Plains rich? It is because of the hard work of our people! Turning the barren mountains into mulberry fields and turning the swamp into fertile soil, thus building a beautiful home. But the Hu people want to do nothing, become robbers and bandits to plunder our wealth and kill our relatives. Do we agree?"
"Don't agree!" The answer was even more neat.
The most objectionable sentence that Wang Ju in his previous life was that China is vast and vast.
The ground is big, but it’s a big deal!
The area of arable land is even less than that of India, and the rest are mountain snow-capped deserts. In ancient times, such as the southeast, Yangzhou was the lowest state in ancient times, so why were it all swamps and lakes, and then it was transformed into fertile fields bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit. There is also Liaodong. Before the Han people broke through Guandong, Liaodong was always the real Great Northern Wilderness. If there were no Han people going to Liaodong, then Beida Cang came! The reason why the Central Plains looked wealthy was that the Han people transformed like hard-working little bees.
"In ancient times, our ancestors were unyielding in the face of the Hu people. The Duke Heng of Qi went out of the frontier and the Great Wall of Zhao State was still the time when the princes split and the power of the Central Plains was the weakest. When the Han Dynasty, they even shouted out the strongest voice that anyone who offended us would be punished even if they were far away. Even if the Five Barbarians invaded China, they could not help but look at the Han people. When they arrived in our dynasty, they were known as the richest dynasty in history. Are we not as good as our ancestors?"
"no."
"Because of poor performance, there is a folk saying that good iron will not be used as nails, and heroes will not be appointed as soldiers. Are you willing?"
"Not resigned."
"The original territory of Xixia was only the four prefectures of Dingnan, but now we have snatched Lingyuan and Lanzhou from us. However, our dynasty still has peace with the people for peace. Many people died of hunger and cold, and many people could not raise more children and drowned their own children. However, our dynasty still squeezed out 255,000 silver from the people's wealth and ointment and gave them peace. Do we really owe them?"
“No owe.”
"We have taken so much civilian paste to buy An, but Xixia still invades repeatedly, robbing our Song people's property, killing our Song people, and raped our women. Are you convinced?"
"Don't accept it."
"Why do they dare to do this? Is it because they think we are weak, are you really weak?"
"No."
"Then let's go to our relatives and prove it to our 100 million tribes."
"Here."
"Set off."
More than 10,000 Poche troops set out again.
Wang Juze stood silently on the top of a small mound. He watched teams of Poche soldiers go away, and on the other side of the soldiers were the common people lying on the roadside to make way. Because they were far away, they had not recognized Wang Ju, but they just felt that this huge army was very energetic.
The remaining soldiers are getting fewer and fewer.
Wang Ju sighed: "I don't know how many good men are going to fall on this side again."
"Zi'an, if you want to stop such sacrifices in the future, you can only destroy Xixia." Zhang Qi said.
This sacrifice is inevitable.
Even the offensive faction is divided into three groups: radical offensive faction, blind offensive faction and rational offensive faction. Wang Zhang and the other two belong to the last faction.
So both of them believed that the best way to destroy Xixia was to attack in the shallow attack.
The reason for the shallow attack is to prevent the army from going blindly and causing heavy casualties. As long as this casualty occurs once, the Song Dynasty will be restored again. Don’t ask the strange thing. The Song Dynasty is the smallest and weakest unified dynasty, and it can’t afford to lose, but this is the characteristic of the Song Dynasty.
Second, the shallow attack is stable, and don’t think it is slow. Although this safe erosion process is indeed slow, where is the border of Shaanxi? Hengshan. In fact, what is really eroding is only the part of Hengshan. If the entire Hengshan is eaten, Xixia will not need to be attacked and will soon die.
The third is to force Xixia to fight for the blood value. Once this result is achieved, Xixia’s blood value will not last long. And after fighting for the blood value, the entire Xixia territory will be truly in poverty. Then, if the Song Dynasty takes it, and implements a little benevolent policy, there will not be many tribes who resist and can truly rule this area.
After getting the Western Xia, there will be no more great enemies in the northwest.
There are also countries in the West, but they are separated by the Tianshan Mountains, the Pamirs and the Great Desert, which cannot harm the Song Dynasty.
And the Song Dynasty got what it wanted most, war horses!
Then the Song Dynasty would be even stronger, and there would be no need to have as many troops as it is now, and the entire Shaanxi people would be liberated.
But this process of fighting for blood value is also a way to fight a battle of one thousand enemies and one hundred injuring themselves. If you can't bear to leave, it is impossible to achieve this goal.
Of course, what Zhang Feng thought was still ideal. After fighting for the Western Xia, would the war end? Even if the Song Dynasty gave up regaining the Yanyun area, the Jin people would go south in the future. Even if the Jin people were blocked, there would be Yuan Meng again in the future.
However, if the Western Xia is not destroyed, the Song Dynasty will be even more dangerous.
Of course, Wang Ju's mood must be very complicated. After all, these Poche troops have a very shallow relationship with Wang Ju. They have been in the process of building Zheng Baiqu for several years. Therefore, Zhang Feng comforted again: "After Zi'an's motivation, morale has been gained."
"Just a little motivation."
"Zi'an, I believe there will be mobilization in Xixia. Zi'an, guess what will they use to mobilize?"
"The wealth of the Han family."
"I think so. This is the sorrow of our dynasty. We immediately turned all the people into pigs and sheep, and let Xia and Liao slaughter them."
This is also the influence brought by Wang Ju, but Zhang Shi still can't figure out why it turned out like this? Or who can you blame? It seems that no one is wrong, or it may blame Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Song Taizong, Tang Xuanzong, Confucius, and Sima Qian (referring to the influence of Sima Guang's repeated calls to Huang Lao Wuwei in the Records of the Grand Historian, as well as the accusations against Emperor Wu of Han and the vilification of Emperor Wu of Han, and the impact on future generations).
Thinking of this, he was also crazy.
Seeing that fewer and fewer soldiers were soldier, Wang Ju said to Li Zhuang: "You should go to Rouyuan Village with them."
Li Zhuang fell in love with a wife from a well-off family in the capital, and Fei'er immediately sent someone to propose marriage. The family was very happy when they heard that they were Wang Ju's disciples and agreed. But when they heard that Li Zhuang was a foreigner, they immediately became hesitant.
It has nothing to do with Wang Ju's official position. Although Wang Ju is not a high-ranking official in the capital, he is the most promising official among the young generation of officials. Moreover, Li Sangou is also a major foreign general in the border area.
This is the Song Dynasty's rejection of alien marriages.
Until Wang Ju came to the northwest, the marriage had not been negotiated.
So Wang Ju asked Li Zhuang to go to the front line this time. Even if Li Sangou had some military achievements and had to do it himself, it would not be difficult to get a job in the third rank of the ninth grade.
Then, if you go to propose marriage, the difficulty will decrease.
"Here." Li Zhuang answered.
"Brother Husband, I'll leave it to you first." Wang Ju said.
He can't bubbling for the time being, and he will return to Ningzhou immediately and stay with the remaining Poche Army. Only by appearing in Gyeongju can he appear publicly according to the situation. However, Li Fugui has completed the handover process with him and promised his request to go to Dashun City in a high-profile manner and leave Gyeongju. So he can only count on Zhang Yu.
"Don't worry."
"Of course I feel relieved," Wang Ju laughed.
Chapter completed!
