Chapter 640 Past Life(1/2)
Before, Wang Ju General Li Changjie's poem and Jiaozhi did not return the matter of plundering the people to the court.£∝,
Zhao Xu was furious and deliberately issued an edict asking Wang Ju to ask Jiaozhi for someone. If he did not return, he would have to offer Li Gande and Li Changjie's heads within four years.
I will not offer prisoners, and I will execute them.
In fact, Zhao Xu's mood was also what Wang Ju needed. What happened made Guo Kui sway in Simingzhou for more than two months. Wang Ju didn't know much. He went to Guizhou to hand over the handover, and the former magistrate of Guizhou was Zhao Cheng. However, Zhao Cheng was also a person with a lot of thought. Wang Ju didn't dare to ask more questions. Even if he asked, Zhao Cheng might not tell the truth.
Maybe Wang Anshi and Wu Chong did play some very bad negative effects in the middle.
Don’t underestimate Wu Chong. None of them is simple to come up. Wang Shao is relatively simple, but he goes down quickly.
With this fact and with this poem, even Wu Chong is not very good at saying anything.
Why do people around Wang Ju have "unexpected intentions"? They think that this strange thing is dragging the burden and fighting for the Song Dynasty. But if there was no such strange system, could Wang Ju do so many things? In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, they would probably be caught.
This is the rules of the Song Dynasty. Don’t complain, learn to use the rules.
After receiving the edict, Wang Ju sent an envoy to Jiaozhi and asked Jiaozhi to release the people.
Jiaozhi was procrastinating for nearly two months before he released the people and sent an envoy to Yongzhou. The released people were in Yongzhou, so the envoy stayed in Yongzhou.
Tao Bi sent someone to inform Wang Ju, who rode a horse to Yongzhou.
The people have not yet settled and have nothing left. How to settle them? And where are their hometowns? Someone must be sent to verify them one by one before they can be sent back to their hometown.
Wang Ju looked at the people and smiled angry.
There are a large number of people, more than 20,000, but they are all old, weak, sick and disabled.
"Where is the Jiaozhi Envoy?"
"On there." Tao Bi pointed with his finger.
The messenger came over to pay tribute, not too arrogant.
In fact, before he came, Jiaozhi had sent a scout to inquire about it secretly. After learning a few news, one was that the new Guangnan West Road chief seemed to be very good at fighting and once defeated Xixia. Although it was far apart, it was still possible to find out the victory in Qingzhou.
The second is Wang Ju's official position, the Guangdong-Guangzhou Xuanfu Zhengwei. Later generations may have been a little vague about these temporary positions, but in this era, it is easy for everyone to understand. The Xuanfu Zhengwei and the Military Commander are both related to military affairs. The difference is that the Xuanfu Zhengwei must be the chief minister of the two prefectures to be the one who can serve as the chief of the two prefectures. When Wang Ju came, the court appointed an official in charge of the Privy Council to allow Wang Ju to have authority over the Guangdong-Guangzhou and to destroy Jiaozhi. In addition, it can also be regarded as a compensation for Zhao Xu's contribution to Wang Ju.
Although he was not the real prime minister, he was the ruling official. Therefore, with the Xuanfu Envoy, the magistrate of Guizhou became the magistrate of Guizhou.
The strategic envoy is not only related to military power, but also in charge of power, that is, Wang Ju has the right to manage the government affairs of Guangdong and Guangxi.
What did the Song Dynasty send this capable minister to Guangdong and Guangxi?
If the Song Dynasty wanted to continue using troops, then Wang Ju would have to take other official positions. For example, Guo Kui's Annan Road camp, the cavalry and infantry army were in charge of recruiting envoys, which was to point the sword at Jiaozhi. At least Wang Ju would have to take a recruiting envoy, which was the official position of attacking.
In addition, I found out that Wang Ju was recruiting local soldiers in Guang and intending to attack, but on the other side, he was building Guanzhai in Guang and intending to defend.
Then, a large number of "black slaves" were brought from somewhere. Some were building Guanzhai, and some were building roads and bridges, just like a large-scale internal governance of Guangnan West Road.
This made Jiaozhi a little confused.
So the old, weak, sick and disabled people who were captured were picked out and sent back to the Song Dynasty, and by the way, they tested the reality of the Song Dynasty.
"You are the Jiaozhi Envoy Li Gui?"
“That’s right.”
"Is this the people you have repatriated?"
"It's like this. Last year, China sent Guo Gong to attack our country. The country's small country was rare and the people were too small. They had to let some strong Ding Zhuang build defense lines. As a result, many Ding Zhuang died of malaria, and the rest were all here."
"Li Gui, I wonder if your relationship between Jiaozhi and Chameng has improved?"
"what?"
"If I persuade the court to fund 50,000 sets of armor and 50,000 divine arm bows for free, to use the grudge between Chameng and you Jiaozhi, will they attack you Jiaozhi before you recover and force you Jiaozhi to return the occupied lands of the three states and the Lidra Vamar?"
Just one sentence made Li Gui sweat coldly on his forehead.
He was stunned and said, "Prince, our Jiaozhi is a vassal state of the Song Dynasty."
"Since you know that you are a vassal state, you should be a vassal state."
"Yes, yes, but can I ask one thing, what is the prince and prince who are trying to recruit soldiers in Guangnan?"
"Can you trust you Jiaozhi? Can you still not beware of you Jiaozhi?"
"The prince and the prince built city defense widely and recruited soldiers widely, which made people a little worried."
"In your opinion, like in Yongzhou before, there is no border defense or army, and you will be allowed to come to burn, kill, and loot, and unimpeded?"
“No.”
"I hope not. Go back, say to your king, and quickly return the remaining people to our Song Dynasty. If we do not abide by the oath, don't blame us, the Song Dynasty for not abide by the oath!"
Li Gui and his party asked Wang Ju to send him away.
Tao Bi said worriedly: "Zi'an, I'm afraid these people will not come back."
If Wang Ju did not come to Guangnan, the Song Dynasty finally used the five Guangyuan prefectures that were ceased by Jiaozhi to buy another Qiyuan prefecture to change some of the people. But even if Wang Ju came, he had no good idea now, so he forced Jiaozhi to send the people back.
In fact, I can only blame Guo Kui for retreating, don’t run away secretly in the middle of the night, and then the three armies fled back in a mess. Can Jiaozhi still be afraid when he sees this situation?
"I'll find a way slowly..."
"There is one more thing, you should also pay attention. Although Zi'an, you have given a heavy reward, there are still many cave villages who are unwilling to cooperate with the government to recruit soldiers, and they secretly have been flirting with Shenglong Mansion."
This is not good news.
As long as these tribes are inside, the thin defense lines of the six southern states will easily be broken through by Jiaozhi, and even if those Guanzhai are gradually built, it will not work.
Wang Ju scratched his chin, thought for a while and said, "It's really not possible. Give a higher reward. Money is moving. I don't believe that they all love their own villages as if they love their children. If it doesn't work, let them deal with it slowly in the future."
"It will cost a lot of money." To recruit these 100,000 local soldiers, Tao Bi felt so painful that he watched by the sidelines.
"No matter how much money you spend, you have to find ways to get their village people into recruiting troops. As long as they enter the recruiting troops, I have a way to deal with them." Wang Ju said.
In fact, it can be seen now. In addition to the particularly closed areas, the rest of the friendship with the Song Dynasty did not require Wang Ju to pay a lot of money, and sent some children to be local soldiers to be local soldiers. The ambiguous view of the benefits, and also sent the children in the village to come over. The rest can be said to be very tenacious tribes. But Wang Ju also needs time now. He thought for a while and said, "Mr. Tao, most local soldiers will be sent overseas for training, and it is difficult for Jiaozhi to find out the specific details. Therefore, people can be sent to threaten that we are doing this to defend the troops, not to attack Jiaozhi."
"Okay, has General Yan arrived at the other side?"
“Arrival safely.”
"That's good, slowly drag on this year."
"Well, it should be fine. Although our army suffered heavy losses in the last World War, it once caused Jiaozhi to be destructive. They were also afraid, so they would not settle down in the future, but they dare not go too far."
"This is because Jiaozhi policy is relatively cunning. Before invading our dynasty, people immediately migrated to the three states of the land, making it impossible for Chameng to capture."
"Chancheng is not a good guy either," Wang Ju said disdainfully.
This matter also requires a memorial.
Wang Ju wrote the memorial and quickly sent it to the capital.
After seeing this, Zhao Xu was furious again and threw the memorial to the ground, angrily saying, "It's too much to deceive people!"
Wang Gui picked up the memorial again and said, "Since the court has sent Wang Ju to manage Guangdong and Guangxi, he will insult him in a few years, so your Majesty does not need to be angry. In fact, this is good, the court cannot attack unrighteous soldiers."
Zhao Xu took a few steps and asked: "Wang Ju wrote a letter to recommend that Kapok be transported by sea. How are you discussing it? Why can't you decide for a long time?"
"Some people agree, but some people oppose it. There are two reasons. The sea route is unfamiliar, and people still think that it is more risky than transporting from inland rivers. Secondly, the monsoon is also a problem. Premature kapok can rush to transport the monsoon to the north, while late ripening is too late. It must wait until the next year to transport it back to the north."
"Then wait a moment, is there no storage warehouse in Guangnan?"
"The old minister will draw an edict to Guangnan."
Wu Chong said on the side: "Your Majesty, if you use the sea boat, you may be more unscrupulous."
"A few years later, the imperial court will send officials to manage it. What are the fears?"
"But who will the imperial court send to manage it, and how will it be managed?"
Zhao Xu was speechless.
This is not only the maritime merchants, but also the Wang Ju.
The disaster this year is quite serious, especially in the southeast.
Zhao Yan was in Yuezhou and saw the severe disaster, so he learned from Wang Anshi. All the states listed the roads and strictly prohibited grain merchants from raising the rice prices. Only Yuezhou was listed on the roads, allowing the rice prices to rise. After hearing about it, the rice merchants in various states transported the rice to Yuezhou. After the shipment came, the shipping was not returned, so they had to sell it at a low price, so the people did not starve to death.
In fact, this approach is truly a way of harming others and self-interest. Food is limited. The people of Yuezhou have to survive, while the people in other areas are in tragic.
Some ministers reported that there were 56 or 6 people who starved to death in Liangzhe, and 56 or 6 of ten people were starved to death. It was definitely not that serious, but it did starve many people to death. Not only drought, but mainly locust plague. The areas with the most serious disasters are Liangzhe, Huainan East Road, and the real fish and rice towns, such as Liangzhe and Jiangdongwei. The drought will not have much impact. However, when the locusts come, even the green seedlings in the fields and pierce fields are empty, which brings a fatal famine.
Officials from Chuzhou, Hezhou wrote a letter saying that the people had no food and started catching locusts to eat.
In ancient times, people were very awe of locusts.
Hungry to this point.
Zhao Xu asked Lu Bing, deputy envoy of shipping, if there was any such incident, Lu Bing honestly said that, some people were very hungry and the dead were buried.
Zhao Xu was miserable.
It just so happened that the maritime merchants' food arrived, which solved the urgent needs of the court. However, due to the lack of cooperation from Chameng, the maritime merchants raised insufficient food, so a tail was left behind.
The people were so hungry that they were desperate. Although the disaster was not as close to the seventh year of Xining, Liangzhe was close to Fujian Road, so they rushed to Fujian Road together. Ge Shaohua also expressed his grief. There were too many people coming, so where did he get so much food? And what should he do if so many people? He was not Wang Ju, and he might be in trouble if he took so many people away at once. Moreover, even if he filled the fleet, he might not be able to take it away, and there would be stranded people.
Ge Shaohua had no choice but to pay a high price to buy a batch of grain from the local big grain merchants and landlords. Fortunately, Wang Juyuen is still there, and Ge Shaomen is a guru from Wang Ju's mansion. He did a good job afterwards. The main households and grain merchants did not make bad money. Although the price has increased, it has not increased too much.
Then Ge Shaohua immediately asked the sea boat to take the monsoon to the Japanese country and Goryeo, and tried to get as much food as possible. The monsoon turned and returned immediately.
