Chapter 605 Bubbling (1)
The drought actually began to come since July of the sixth year of Xining.⊙,
However, at the beginning, not many people paid attention to it. The country is so big that drought and floods cannot be avoided.
Therefore the war continues.
Wang Shao stopped first and then went to the capital to report his duties. Now that Xihe has been recovered, what should we do next? We have to ask the big bosses in the court, otherwise he will end up like Wang Ju again.
In fact, Wang Ju's fate was not as bad as he thought, but it was still very miserable in everyone's hearts. It has been almost two years since he stayed in the south and almost seemed to have disappeared.
But he left in front and something happened later.
Mu Zheng was homeless in Hezhou, and Dong Wen finally rescued Gui Zhang and his army rushed towards Tabai City.
Jing Sili fought, but because of the large gap in military strength, he sacrificed heroically. In fact, this is an excuse. Those who can fight will never let their troops fall into an absolute disadvantage. For example, Wang Shao or Wang Ju, wouldn’t the gap in military strength be even greater? But under their mobilization, they have always kept the battlefield's advantage in military strength, and at least there will be no huge gap in military strength.
As soon as Jing Sili died, Gui Zhang led a large army to surround Hezhou.
This is the Battle of the White City.
The significance of Tubo was not as important as imagined, because the strategy formulated by Wang Shao has never been related to Huangkuo. The reason for taking over Xihe was because Mu Zheng defected to Xixia. If the Song Dynasty did not manage it, Xixia would sooner or later go south from here to Taomin.
Now that Xihe has been recovered, the strategic goal has been achieved, and as for Huangzhou, Wang Shao is no longer interested.
So after learning about the strategy of the Song Dynasty, Dong Wen later took the initiative to assist the Song Dynasty in attacking the Xia Dynasty.
As for Aligu, who could have thought of it?
The news reached the capital. Some ministers actually suggested returning Xihe to Mu Zheng again...
This kind of peace of mind has already penetrated into the bones. Even if Wang Ju does this, many civil officials cannot change their temperament.
However, this time, Gou'an returned to the ground with a weak voice, and Zhao Xu ignored it and asked Wang Shao and Li Xian, who was supervising the army, to return to Hezhou immediately.
The Ghost Chapter is indeed very good at fighting, but it is far inferior to Wang Shao. Even Li Xian is not weaker than the Ghost Chapter.
The two of them had some discussions in Xizhou, but did not rescue Hezhou immediately, but swept the Jiehe area in the northeast of Hezhou to prevent the arrival of Xixia reinforcements. Then they walked from Jiehe to the rear of Hezhou, took down Tabaicheng again, and cut off Guizhang's retreat.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Guizhang was preparing to retreat, but before he could do it, he was blocked by Wang Shao on the west side of Tabai City. The two armies fought fiercely, and Guizhang left more than a thousand corpses and ran away.
Wang Shao continued to chase after him, and broke through more than ten forts of the enemy along the way, burned nearly ten thousand tents, and killed more than 3,000 enemies, almost smashing the periphery of Huangzhou. Then he continued to use troops. He killed nearly 10,000 enemies and captured 100,000 cattle and sheep.
It is more brilliant than the achievements made in another time and space, after all, this is an enhanced version of the Song army.
What is the enhanced version of the Song army? Driven by Wang Ju, the armor is more sophisticated. Many soldiers began to change their clothes one after another, including the originally bulky Infantry Armor. After changing into the new armor, the weight was reduced by nearly 20 kilograms.
How fast will the weight of twenty kilograms increase the soldiers? If this speed is in the hands of a general who can use troops, it will undoubtedly be further magnified.
Some generals dig in advance to cultivate them.
Confidence brought by successive victory.
There are also workshops built by those donated by good households, which are still in operation. Of course, the generals who have made meritorious do not have the right to portrait. However, their portraits are placed on various vessels and daily necessities, coupled with the singing of the stories, the people's excitement, and the profits have always been good. With profits, there will be money to pay for the families of martyrs, and with the rewards from the court, the soldiers of the three armies have no worries.
However, Wang Ju took the initiative to let it go and handed it over to the court for supervision.
Otherwise, it will become an act of buying up the morale of the army.
Therefore, Mu Zheng was quickly forced to the point of desperate situation by the Song army. He walked out of the wilderness and surrendered to the Song Dynasty with more than 80 chiefs. Zhao Xu granted an official position and renamed Zhao Sizhong, becoming a minister of the Song Dynasty.
Without Mu Zheng, Xihe was officially recovered.
And Wen Yanbo also went down. Last year, the Huashan earthquake occurred, a landslide. Isn’t this very normal? Moreover, Huashan itself is in the earthquake zone, and there were many large earthquakes recorded in the Song Dynasty.
Wen Yanbo wrote a letter saying that once the municipal affairs department was established, the officials and supervisors would even sell fruits, which would damage the national system and accumulate the public's grievances, which led to the collapse of Huashan. He also said that the family of clothes and clothes was ineffective in the market, and the gentry and the Qing Dynasty were not tolerated. How could there be a great country, the emperor seeks profit, and the will of heaven do not warn?
Indeed, this market Yifa was really a scam. Not only did it force Wang Ju to give up the three major workshops, but Zhao Xu also heard some very bad things and asked Wang Anshi, saying that the goods were selling ice, which caused the people to sell snow. He also heard that buying combs was expensive, and buying fat was expensive; he also heard that the rewards were made, and that people would not come to the market Yishi.
That is, businessmen, if you don’t go to the market, sell the goods to the government, or accept the goods that are paid one cent interest per year, and then you will be sent to arrest you. This...
Zhao Xu was really embarrassed to ask if he asked ** to sell wine.
Wang Anshi replied calmly: "In this way, I want to avenge Your Majesty. I always do what Your Majesty knows, how can this happen?"
Zhao Xu could not leave the palace, and he would have a careful and private visit like on TV. Wang Anshi refused to admit it. What?
Wen Yanbo's attack strategy was not wrong to seize the attack strategy of the Yifa, but he did not lead a landslide to the Yifa. Wang Anshi said that the change in Huashan was because the will of heaven was caused by villains. The Yifa was initiated by the people because the people were trapped for a long time, so he suppressed the merger. What benefits would it be for officials?
If you continue to talk about it, it would be unpleasant. Han Qi, the three gentlemen, have merged tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, and almost the people of the county have become tenants of the Han Qi family. The Fu Bi family does not pay taxes, and they have accumulated millions or tens of millions of yuan of wealth. As for you, Wen Yanbo, is so rich that you can lend money to usury.
Why do you initiate these reforms? It is the merger and acquisition of you, the powerful and powerful!
Wen Yanbo was speechless and embarrassed and angry, asking for a supplement. With Wang Ju's counterattack, Wen Yanbo's reputation was far less than that in history. Zhao Xu only hesitated for a while this time and then put Wen Yanbo out of Heyang Prefecture.
So the situation in Wang Anshi is very good.
At the peak of his life, a severe drought came.
The area of this drought is unimaginable. From Hedong to Hebei, Shaanxi, to the two capitals and Huainan, that is, from the Huaihe River to the north, the entire north was affected by this severe drought.
Where is the center of the Song Dynasty? This is the center of the Song Dynasty.
The size of the area is not counted, and the time is even more unimaginable.
There was a drought in July last year. Because of Wang Ju's recommendation, Zhang Dun deliberately recommended Zhang Shangying when he was Kai Meishan. He was demoted again because of the dispute over locust killing.
But there was no big problem at that time. Disasters came, and disaster relief was just like this. It has been like this for so many years.
However, God never rained until April of the seventh year of Xi, such a large area still rained.
This means that last year's autumn harvest is not harvested, and this year's summer harvest has been completely ruined. The key is this year's autumn harvest. How can the autumn grain be planted without raining?
In such a vast area, there is no harvest for three consecutive seasons, what impact will it have?
What’s so bad is that many ministers did not find ways to rescue the disaster and resolve the disaster, but seized this opportunity and used the disaster to attack reforms.
There are more people talking, and Zhao Xu is also scared.
Therefore, once Zhao Xu asked the ministers if I did something wrong and if all these reforms were to be abolished.
No minister answered.
God knows what you are thinking about?
Therefore, Zhao Xu asked Wang Anshi.
Wang Anshi didn't pay attention. He was in charge of disaster relief. In this disaster, the grain prices in the whole north rose rapidly, and there was no way to save them. However, the capital was the focus of the country and must be stable. Therefore, the Sinong Temple first allocated 320,000 hu of rice from Changping Warehouse, and then transferred 1.90 million hu of rice from the Sansi to the officialdom, and reduced the grain prices in the capital to suppress the capital.
At this time, Wang Anshi had not felt the crisis had come.
First, Sima Guang wrote a letter saying, "The north is blocked, the east is bounded by the sea, the south is crossed by the Yangtze River and Huai River, and the west is bounded by Shu. Since last autumn and winter, there has been little rain and snow, and the wells and springs have dried up and the two wheat has not been harvested. The people are already desperate. In the summer, the autumn seeds have not entered, and the middle households have mostly lacked food, and the solid grass roots are collected to last day and night." There are even poorer households who "demolve houses and sell money to their own household food and all the expenses in the officialdom."
However, Wang Anshi thought Sima Guang was exaggerating. Moreover, this kid was already staying in Luoyang to study books, so what could he do?
When disaster comes, it is just a disaster relief, so Changping rice is distributed to provide relief to the hungry people in Heyang.
But if the people of Kaifeng and Heyang can be saved, how can they be saved in such a big place?
In successive places, including Shizhou, Lanzhou, Qizhou, Yunzhou, Kaifeng County, Daming Prefecture, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Xing, Ming, Ci, Xiang, Zhao and other states in Zhending Prefecture, Yanzhou, Huanqingzhou, Baoanjun, Shaanxi Road, Hebei West Road, Yongxing Army, Jizhou and other places, all wrote letters and short of food.
It’s not that we don’t help disasters, but that the states have been rescuing disasters since last year. After so long, all the nearby prefectures and prefectures have saved food and stored food. Even one of them can’t be dispatched. If there is no food, how can we provide disaster relief?
Then the refugees appeared, "The refugees in the northeast, supported the blockade, were weak and sad, and had no clothes to finish their clothes. The people in the city bought hemp, wheat, wheat, rice, and rice, or ate wood, and grass roots. They were locked up and carried tiles and wood, and sold them to the officials, endlessly."
He wrote a letter from Chu Jianzhong, who replaced Wang Ju, who went to Qingzhou: "I have written a hand-in-hand decree to the border, and the Han and the foreigners have food. The Xia people took advantage of this to recommend hunger, and they often used the rewards to attract mature households. They went to thousands of groups to escape from each other. If they were not thick and connected, they would cause escape and escape, and they would be inconvenient to defend the border."
Wang Ju has laid a good foundation.
However, the price of grain has risen rapidly, and it will rise by several times or ten times. How much grain can the people buy with a little savings?
Some people were so hungry that they scolded the court and Chu Jianzhong for being incompetent. If Wang Xiaozi was there, how could we go hungry? Chu Jianzhong was so distressed that his hair almost turned white.
While being scolded, you must be careful. After all, there must be no mistakes in Hengshan, otherwise your career will end. Then, why did Wang Ju not take the opportunity to destroy Xixia at that time?
Han Qi used the report to reward Luo Xiu to hunt down the thief Lu Xiaoer, who killed the thief, and said, "Now, the disasters and injuries in Hebei are injured, and the people are in exile and have no food to go away. The most worrying thing is that more thieves gather, which is a public-private problem."
If the court still couldn't think of a solution, these refugees might really be thieves in hunger, and they were like Jiao Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to revolt.
This made Zhao Xu not worry.
However, Wang Anshi replied that droughts and floods are inevitable even when they were in the ancient sage kings. These are natural phenomena, and we do our best to do our best. Moreover, the weather has been good for the past five years. In proportion, the current drought is just accidental. They are all small things, and God has its own will, so we can cultivate human affairs more.
If it is delayed for another nine hundred years, this statement will be recognized by everyone.
But this was in the Song Dynasty, and Wang Anshi answered a little sloppy.
Zhao Xu said, maybe we did something wrong.
Wang Anshi was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it. Soon Zhao Xu wrote the edict of guilt, but Wang Anshi still didn't care. It was normal for the emperor to write the edict of guilt. For example, Emperor Renzong of Song, except for writing the edict of guilt, could punish himself. He ran outside barefoot in the middle of the night and was in the rain.
Sima Guang officially bubbling and took action.
If he doesn't take action, he will kill him if he takes action.
But before Sima Guang cast a killing, Wang Ju, who had almost disappeared for two years, finally bubbling up. (To be continued...)
