Chapter 580
"Zi'an, the Wen Guild is very angry," said Zhang Feng.
This was a kind reminder that if he hadn't known that Wang Ju had interacted with Zhao Xu during the imperial examination and had a good relationship, he would have been able to object from the beginning.
Although Wang Ju made great contributions this time, he is far from Wen Yanbo's opponent.
"Brother, let me tell you, because Duke Wen, the imperial court has been rewarded for a long time, so how can the soldiers of the three armies think? I guess it is not that Duke Wen disagreed with the rewards from the official family, but intends to delay it for a long time, so that the three armies will not be able to carry out border affairs because of seeking military achievements."
This is very likely.
"And it took me a long time to delay, but I kept giving rewards. Could it be that the officers and soldiers will become my private soldiers in the future?" Wang Ju said.
In fact, the best form is to immediately reward the court, and then Wang Ju discounted the salt profits, the seized materials, and some money drawn from several workshops. Wang Ju didn't need to avoid suspicion, and the three armies cheered and were all very happy.
Now there is only Wang Ju’s reward, but there is no reward from the court. How do the soldiers think about it? Besides, Wang Ju is willing to turn into private soldiers. Are these soldiers willing?
And the problem arises, maybe this will become the best excuse for attacking Wang Ju in the future.
Zhang Qing sighed repeatedly.
More than that, Wang Ju said again: "Song Xia was in a battle last May and then arrived in Luowu City..."
Originally, the people of Shaanxi were not that hard. Zhong Yan managed Luowu City, and sent troops from Qingjian City to Hedong, and then detoured from Hedong to Linzhou. Where is the war zone close to?
There was still a bit of drought on Shaanxi Road this year. If it weren't for the changes brought about by Zheng Baiqu, the situation would be even worse with the increase in grain production. Therefore, Zhao Xu issued an edict to let the people on Hedong Road bear the food and grass. But at this time, Wang Anli, the fourth brother of Wang Anshi, spoke, saying that the people did not practice martial arts and were now on the battlefield. Even if they were not defeated by the enemy, they would die of cold and starvation because the weather was getting colder and cold, and they should be closed for business and requisition.
Lu Gongbi thought it was right, so he replied to Han Jiang that I would like to support some of your officers and soldiers, but I would like to ask for the people, and I would not even think about food and grass.
Han Jiang would not be afraid of Lu Gongbi, but Hedong was ultimately Lu Gongbi's territory.
He had no choice but to transport grain from the rear of Shaanxi to let the people transport grain and grass. One of them passed through the Yellow River grain and grass was delivered, and the other was to transport it slowly from Chang'an to the front line, or even Linzhou. How much error would the loss of the two have?
However, Luo Wucheng also gave up later, so Lu Gongbi wrote a letter proudly, saying that because of Wang Anli, the 40,000 people in Hedong were spared.
Then he tampered with it, saying that Xixia invaded the border. Han Jiang asked him to mobilize 40,000 people in Hedong to defend, because of Wang Anli, these 40,000 people could survive.
Battle of Luowucheng. When did the three Western Xia armies invade Hedong Road?
Fortunately, Zheng Baiqu was found, but the Battle of Qingzhou broke out, and Zheng Baiqu was not effective. Not only did the people on Shaanxi Road, but also the West Road in Jingji Road were also in trouble.
As for Hedong Road, with Lu Gongbi in charge, Wang Juxiang had never thought about it.
"The people have some complaints, and if someone instigates them, it will become a good excuse for impeachment. But if I do this, let the people see with my own eyes. It is not our dynasty that we are warlike. Do we silently observe that the Xixia occupied the two prefectures of Huanqing? This is a self-defense counterattack battle, which is called great righteousness. If we talk about suffering, the soldiers of the three armies will suffer even more. They only pay some labor, and with a small amount of taxes, the soldiers of the three armies will pay life. The people are not worried about the few but the uneven. With comparison, the resentment will disappear. Without resentment, the remaining good news is only the great victory. At least although everyone suffered a little, they have won a rare victory. Besides, our dynasty is getting weaker and weaker. With this great victory, the three armies and all the people will be proud. With the hearts of the people and morale, the three armies will be distorted."
This is a statement, Zhang Feng couldn't help but nod.
"If my husband and wife are the five gentlemen of Qingli, Mr. Fan, Mr. Wen, Mr. Fu, Mr. Han and Mr. Pang, Mr. Pang, did he get to power without the experience of the northwest?"
Fu Bi did not come to the northwest directly, but because of the Northwest War, the Khitan took the opportunity to blackmail. Fu Bi made great contributions to the Liao Kingdom when he went on a mission to negotiate, so he was promoted. It can also be said that it is related to the northwest.
"But what happened to Zhang Kang later and why? Because these great gentlemen formed a group. If we talk about military affairs, political achievements and ethics, our dynasty actually has many ministers above them."
Just like Bao Zheng, although he does not have the legendary magic of Bao Gong, he is actually not bad either.
There is also Liu Han, whose name is impeached by Zhang Feng, but in fact there is Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi, how can he not step down?
If you give an example, Wang Ju would name 50 famous ministers who are no less than these five gentlemen in one breath.
However, why can the five great gentlemen rise to power, and even other gentlemen, such as Yu Jing, Cai Xiang, Wu Yu, Ouyang Xiu and others, also hold high positions.
It was exactly what Wang Ju mentioned about the experience of the northwest and the group that he had formed.
"Brother Husband, how many Xia Juns have been killed by Zhang Kangyu Tumaochuan? Can you tell me an accurate number?"
"I understand." Zhang Qi finally understood what Wang Ju was going to say.
Zhang Kang went to the prefectures with a temporary official position in charge of the military and horse affairs of the Goulin Mansion. After all, the prefectures are the world of the Zhe family, so it is not easy for any magistrate to be anything.
In fact, this official position is to let Zhang Kang be fully in charge of military affairs on Fulin Road.
Not long after the Qingli War ended, the Qingli New Deal began, and until its failure, Zhang Kang's official position was still in the rising stage. He successively learned Yingzhou, Daizhou, and Weizhou, and once served as the Hedong Pacification Envoy. In this way, he was a civil servant and a military position, guarding the most important national border for the Song Dynasty.
It was not until the seventh year of Qingli that Xia Shu was the Privy Councilor. Because Zhang Kang attacked Xia Shu incompetently, he was demoted to the magistrate of Cizhou. Then the censor Song Xi impeached Zhang Kang to embezzle the minister's money in the prefectures and prefectures and was appointed as the magistrate of Shouzhou. It was normal for officials to be promoted and demoted in the Song Dynasty, just like Wang Ju tripped Chen Xiang, and several official positions were also removed. The key was that Zhang Kang always encountered various inexplicable reasons, so he became smaller and smaller.
This is not the key point. The key point is that the records of the battles on Fulin Road seem to disappear, and few people mention it.
To what extent he disappeared, Li Taoxiu continued to write a long editor of Zizhi Tongjian. He collected information. Rabbit Maochuan had two battles. The first one was fought by Wang Lin and Zhang Ke, which made Li Tao find a record. Including Sima Guang's "The Shui Jiwen", there are also records, but there are differences in killing and casualties, and there are thousands of people, and there are ten thousand enemies.
But Li Tao could hardly find any record for the second larger battle between Baizi Fort and Tumaochuan. Then Mr. Li used his imagination to lead the army. Moreover, after the battle, Li Yuanhao withdrew his troops due to a crushing defeat, so he wrote more than 60,000 beheadings with a stroke of his pen.
This is not Zhang Kang's fan, but Zhang Kang's black.
Xixia participated in the Battle of Rabbit and Maochuan for the second time, how many soldiers and horses were there in total?
Also, the Battle of Haoshuichuan. Sima Guang recorded that the commander, Zhongshuo, 15 dead, 271 soldiers, more than 6,700 soldiers, and 1,300 horses were killed. (Xia) killed more than 5,900 people, more than 1,400 familiar households, and burned 2,26 tents. (Song) beheaded thieves' heads at level 510, and captured 154 horses.
In that battle, Ren Fu and Wang Gui fought for a day, but no one surrendered, all died heroically, and only five hundred enemies were killed?
I'm afraid Wang Gui will kill 100 enemies alone!
Therefore, when Li Tao was in the process of compiling the long-term, he directly ignored Sima Guang's nonsense behind him, and only recorded the number of enemies killed behind him, and did not record the number of enemies killed behind him.
This is not finished yet.
Because there was nowhere to go for these materials. Later generations compiled more than a dozen volumes of large-scale materials, "Compilation of Dangxiang and Xixia Materials", and only saw three major defeats, and the great victory on Fulin Road was almost a piece of paper.
The two battles to defend Dashun City are not easy, one faces 100,000 enemies and the other faces 300,000 enemies, but the length is not even as long as Sima Guang's memorial.
"General History of Western Xia" spent twenty-five and six pages on the Qingli War, but the several battles on Fulin Road only accounted for one and a half pages. When Li Liangzuo and the Daliang clan were recorded later, the two battles in the defense of Dashun City were almost not mentioned.
But what is Xia Shu’s relationship with the gentlemen?
It was nothing. But in this year, Wen Yanbo entered the Secretariat. From then on, the Song Dynasty entered the era of several great gentlemen taking turns to rule.
However, one problem that cannot be faced is that although they went to the northwest, God knows whether they have any contributions, and at least they cannot see any military achievements. So what about Zhang Kang?
This record cannot even be vilified, so everyone understands it and hides these records one by one.
The strangest thing is that a thousand years later, the three major defeats were found, but they searched for the Battle of Sansongling, the Defense Family, the Lin Family, and the Battle of the Rabbit and the Battle of the Rabbit and the Battle of the Rabbit and the entries were almost impossible to find, and there was not even a single entry for the Du Niang. On the contrary, Han Qi became a famous military strategist in the Song Dynasty, and Han Qi was a... military strategist???
Thinking about Wang Ju, he wants to vomit blood.
So Wang Ju stood up for Zhang Kang in the past, but when Renzong woke up, Zhang Kang had already passed away, so he had to give his sons a few officials to compensate him.
But this is not what Wang Ju wants to say.
He refers to himself and Zhang Feng. If he doesn't do it well, he will face Zhang Kang's fate.
No one will take action now, but it is not easy to say in the future. Just find an excuse to degrade. Then learn how Zhang Kang was treated during Renzong, wipe out all the information and records one by one, and then all kinds of inexplicable mistakes come to you, so Wang Ju and Zhang Ju may also disappear.
But after Wang Ju's trouble, even ten years later, many people will still remember it fresh. If a war breaks out, it would be fine if it wins. If it is defeated, the people will question it, what about Wang Ju and Zhang Ju.
This is the real fight against poison, Zhang Feng thought helplessly in his heart.
Wang Ju said: "Brother, I am also forced to do so. Many people hate me now, but because I do not support Mr. Jiefu's reform, Mr. Jiefu will not support me. You and I may become children who do not feel bad for parents. Therefore, I can only save myself. Mr. Wen is unhappy, but if this happens, Mr. Wen will be happy with you and me?"
Aren’t gentlemen going to power just to form groups and praise each other?
Wang Ju is learning their approach.
There is something behind...
"Brother, I often mock gentlemen, but in this era, gentlemen are dead. Or just like my mentor, I go back to my hometown to teach honestly." Wang Ju said meaningfully.
But Zhang Yu is not inconsistent either.
After a battle with Wang Ju, he almost became a grasshopper tied to a rope. It can be said that he was prosperous and humiliated.
Wang Ju explained and suddenly asked: "Brother Husband, how much official loan did that Zu Yang borrow?"
"Ten thousand guan," Zhang Qing laughed. The boy was timid and encouraged him to borrow, but he didn't dare to borrow. As a result, after Wang Ju exchanged supplies for various wool and camel wool, he invited several skilled Xixia craftsmen for him, and deliberately found the sons of two of the craftsmen's family to release them from prisoners of war. Zu Yang finally couldn't help it and went to Qingzhou again and borrowed thousands of guan again.
This is the beginning. You will have to borrow it in the future, and the more you borrow, the more you will borrow.
"Brother, let's go to Lubu again, and allow the people of Yuanzhou, Ningzhou and Fuzhou to come to the front line to transport salt, but they have to bring their own dry food and livestock vehicles."
In fact, some people in these three states have entered the front line and then spent money to buy fake quotas, pretending to be the people of the four state troops, and participating in the transportation of salt. Wang Ju and Zhang Feng also knew about it, but they just pretended not to know.
The reason for this order was that the news was given by the scouts in front, and there was no movement in Xixia, which shows that the damage caused to Xixia by this battle was even more powerful than Wang Ju had expected.
Of course, doing so will cause greater trouble to management.
However, time flies quickly. Even if there are no other accidents, when Xia Cao comes, the Song army will withdraw.
This is the last crazy time, so the forehead is over.
The two talked about the matter for a while.
At present, Wang Ju is in charge of Yanzhou, so they tacitly made a division of labor. Zhang Yue presided over the government affairs and material dispatch in the rear. Wang Ju was responsible for the three armies on the front line, as well as the construction of forts and salt transportation.
However, it also requires proper communication, so Zhang Feng had to run away from both sides...
After talking for a while, Zhang Feng rode back to Qingzhou again.
"Zhang Zhifu is also a good official," said Qiong Niang, looking at his back.
"Originally, the officialdom was the darkest place, and the struggle between reform and anti-reform has gotten into the horns one by one. Now, what good officials can be said to be?" Wang Ju mocked.
Then he looked up at the moon in the sky.
The sun is still going down, and the early moon on the upper half of the string has risen among the willow branches. Because of the sunlight, the yellowness is gone, leaving only a ball of white.
He suddenly thought of another time and space. Of course, the material life of another time and space is richer, just like the current salt transport. At peak, almost 60,000 or 70,000 households participated, and he pushed the trading location forward for dozens of miles. But after a month, he could only transport one million stones of salt back.
If you change it to another time and space, use heavy trucks to load them. This road can be easily transported two or three times a day, and at most twenty heavy trucks can be solved.
Although he lived so humble in that time and space, he would not have been as intrigue as he is now.
Wang Ju suddenly missed homesick. Although the home was so far away that it could hardly be measured by any distance, he suddenly wanted to take a look at the land.
Wang Ju turned his head and asked, "Xiong Niang, do you want to go to the south?"
“It’s very hot in the south.”
"I want to go to the south..."
"The official wants to avoid this limelight..." Qiong Niang guessed that when she is high-profile, she should be high-profile, but when she is low-profile, she should also be low-profile. What Wang Ju did is to let everyone remember his achievements, rather than to use this achievements to fight for an official position.
With his age, what official position can he compete for? Besides, what Wang Ju doesn’t want to go to the capital now is the capital.
"But it's so difficult, the official may not let you go."
