Not only Wang Huaji, but many ministers wrote letters to persuade them to stay.

It’s good to go up and down, but at least you have to make mistakes to go up and down. Song Jiu is obviously right, so why are he demoted?

However, no letters were reported.

They didn't know that it was very important for Song Jiu to go down this time, otherwise how could the wind blow?

In fact, the words of Song Jiulin were also very important. They were like Hu Yanzan, and tattoos were all over the body. Tattoo was common in the Song Dynasty, and most people and even scholars and officials also played with this. However, Hu Yanzan was not enough, so he also used a demon-subduing pestle, a knife to break the formation, a scarf with iron folds on both sides, and a blade weighed dozens of kilograms. When he rode a horse and wiping his forehead, Zhao Kuangyi saw it and thought that this person was very strange.

I am a civilized person, and no monsters are allowed to appear under my tent...

He almost killed Hu Yanzan.

Later, he made great contributions and his deeds were widely publicized. He even became an idol of the three armies and the people. Zhao Kuangyi also thought about it, but he was a military general, so what else could he ask for? But if he did this, he would shock the enemy after going into battle.

After Baozhou was successful, Zhao Kuangyi was ready to be the general manager of the military and horses of Jizhou. However, he had no control skills and had many conflicts between his subordinates and soldiers. He was also promoted to the governor of Liaozhou, but he could not govern the people. Zhao Kuangyi was preparing to summon the head of the capital army and lead the governor of Fuzhou. Song Jiu made an admonition and took him to Baozhou.

Therefore, very few military generals can govern the people.

Let’s look at the civil officials again. In addition to Song Jiu and Zhang Qixian, how many people have had borderline achievements? It’s not that they don’t use literati. Although there are not many people now, they have started to use them and used some, but Kou Zhun and Song Shou have not made military achievements below.

For example, many academies have done well as magistrates, but overall, they are indeed good at technology. For example, industry, agriculture, commerce, and breeding, they may not be able to compete with scholars in politics.

The other types of people have made sense to analyze, and Song Jiu proposed several theories in the discussion of employment. That is, the survey system. Don’t say it very well, it’s useless. Let’s do it first.

The three to five years of duty system is not moved around. In fact, many officials are moving around blindly. County-level officials are easy to appoint, and some deputy officials in some small counties are even vacant, and they are temporarily replaced by clerks. However, how many officials at the state level can be there and how many high-ranking officials can be there in the capital? They all want to be promoted, but wouldn’t it be a break in the end? Therefore, the migration system is mostly transferred from one county to another, and it may not play a lot of role in transferring it over and over again. Instead, it is not easy to achieve political achievements.

The system of equitable officials, no matter which type of officials come up, each has its own strengths. Similarly, the Jinshi on the list outside Donghua Gate may not be so expensive. Fortunately, at this time, in a few decades, Song Jiu will make people beat him up.

The system of applying talents is used, and the strengths are used, and the weaknesses are avoided. In fact, Song Jiu did this when he was in the Secretariat of Zhongshu, and told Fan Ruobing that you can manage the place and do a good job. This is your strength, but literature is not your strengths. What kind of literature is sold and what kind of ink is used to make?

But there is also an important system.

That is the appointment of military candidates. A few people who are slightly proficient in military affairs should be moderately trained to the border prefectures to further proficiency in military affairs. Only these civil servants can enter the Privy Council. Otherwise, like Zhang Hong, they can only bow to the clerks in the Western Prefecture. Or learn from Wang Mian and Wen Zhongshu, but cannot handle military affairs. Then they make trouble in the Western Prefecture to suppress opponents. Or they can set up a cannon to storm. What role can the imperial court set up a Privy Council besides decentralization? But now they are slowly picking on the candidates for prime ministers in the Western Prefecture, and then consult with veteran generals of the Staff Department. At least the Western Prefecture will not make too many mistakes in making major military affairs.

The purpose is very simple, experts make decisions and act in their own way!

It may be better than the Song Dynasty system before or later in history, but it still has many problems.

Especially the central government's intervention in the use of troops by border soldiers, that is, the system of defence from it, Song Jiu has not really solved this problem perfectly.

In fact, it is still Song Jiu's problem. Although he has a golden finger, he is strictly speaking, not a politician, not a military strategist, not a thinker, philosopher, or even a very good economist and scientist.

...

The Song family is packing their luggage.

The eldest sister complained: "A old one comes back, and three young ones go down."

Pan Mei will be back soon, but Song Bao went to the northwest, the Song family's second son-in-law was in Hebei, and Song Jiu was going to Hedong again.

When my elder sister thought about this, she felt very unbalanced.

Song Jiu comforted: "Sister, think about what happened to Hezhou that year? There is no way."

That year, the Liao army was almost close to Daming Prefecture. When the news reached the capital, the entire Hebei and the north of Jingdong Road were shocked. Especially the merchants and residents on Hezhou, Hezhou had no city walls, the roads were developed and so wealthy. Once the Liao army came, it would be the most plentiful meal. Therefore, all the merchants and residents of Hezhou were panic, and many moved to the capital for a while. Song Jiu didn't care, but the three sisters' industries were all on Hezhou. In those two months, they suffered great losses.

Therefore, afterwards, someone proposed to rebuild the city walls around the Hezhou fangs. However, the entire Hezhou was in a sharp triangle in the north and south, and extending to the east. How to build this city wall?

"You can."

"It's not me who can, it's me who's awake."

I don't understand this sentence very much.

Pan Lian'er carefully packed all her luggage for her husband, and then told her mother to mom.

There was a large group of children at home, and Pan Lian'er could not go to Taiyuan with Song Jiu, so she had to let Xi Niang go.

My eldest sister is unfair, Pan Lian'er is not easy to talk to. On one hand, she is a young and sick father, and on the other hand, she is a husband. What can she say?

Song Jiu slowly went to Taiyuan.

Another person who went there was Gao Qiong.

This person is an old minister of Zhao Kuangyi's vassal residence, but he is not the one who supervises Song Jiu. If he is supervising Song Jiu, he will not be Gao Qiong. Gao Qiong has a good relationship with Song Jiu. Even Pan Lian'er intends to marry Song Xiaoyu to Gao Qiong's fourth son Gao Jimi.

But Song Jiu refused because his daughter was still young.

It's really small, but it's not small in the eyes of the Song Dynasty.

But when Gao Qiong and his wife heard this, they were overjoyed. My family was waiting. If they were young or older, as long as Song Jiu agreed, even if Song Xiaoyu got married at the age of 25, the Gao family would have to wait.

However, the Gao family is not a real powerful person.

This can also explain the relationship between Gao and Song families.

In fact, this time I went there because Gao Qiong was relatively steady, so Song Jiu could not have stayed in Hedong forever. This was the selection of talents for the post-Pan Mei-Yang Ye era.

Arrive in Taiyuan.

Pan Mei asked: "Xiaojiu, the imperial court wants to manage the mountain behind?"

So far, only two people have raised such suspicions, one is Pan Mei and the other is Li Jilong.

Song Jiu smiled and said, "Father-in-law, if you really want to manage the mountain, the court will let you back to Beijing? Can you not know the level of my leadership of troops?"

Pan Mei smiled and said, "A man is leaving for three days and looks at melons. Maybe you are more capable than me now."

"Father-in-law, don't talk to others. But Your Majesty also asked me to inform some important generals of the truth."

"Those who are you sneaking in the West Mansion?"

"Father-in-law, you can't be sneaky, and your Majesty is also involved."

Pan Mei smiled speechlessly, Zhao Kuangyi also participated? What can he do if he participated?

His experience has not been allowed to return for the time being. His experience is also of great help to Song Jiu. At least it must be better than Song Jiu himself. At least in terms of details and understanding of Hedong border defense, he must be much stronger than Song Jiu. He took the opportunity of waiting for someone to guide and hand over Song Jiu. Song Jiu began to summon all the generals, and the number of people was pitifully small. From Hedong to the northwest, there were more than 100,000 troops stationed and trained troops, and there were countless generals and schools. However, there were only a few people, Tian Renlang, Yin Xian, Yang Qiong, Yang Ye, Yang Si, Yin Jilun, Gao Qiong, and Pan Mei who was about to return to Beijing.

Tian Yin and the other two were in the northwest, but they were not very far from Taiyuan.

After several people arrived, Song Jiu first talked about the seriousness of the matter. This plan could be said to be divided into troops. It was even longer than the Yongxi Northern Expedition. However, in order to ensure its effectiveness, it was not a division of troops, but a division of troops one after another. Therefore, it took a long time, which may last for more than a year or more. Therefore, it must be kept confidential.

Song Jiu told the truth.

Everyone opened their mouths wide.

Yang Ye asked suspiciously: "Is this a little bit more than worth the money?"

"General Yang, if you forcefully conquer the Khitan, will you be able to take Yan Yun back?"

Yang Ye cannot answer.

"Therefore, the symbolic significance of this time is far greater than the intention of using troops. Once successful, the whole Yanyun will be frightened. Then, with some means, more Chinese households will turn against us. The court's practices used to be softer, and it may not be a good thing, but instead make the other party unaware of the reason..."

Yang Ye still kept silent.

Song Jiu smiled. Yang Ye is a typical nationalist, and he must have some resistance to this plan in his heart. So Song Jiu said again: "Every time I see this new city in Taiyuan, I feel a little creepy. My father moved Taiyuan City to the east of the Fen River. Although it is impossible to produce any kingly energy, its defense is poor. Yanyun will not take it back. Once the northern barbarians are strong, Hebei will be a flat river and there is no danger to be taken. There is danger to be taken in Hedong, but Taiyuan City is

There is no danger to defend. The Northern Barbarians can easily launch troops in two groups, including Hebei and Taiyuan. If our country was not the strongest time at that time and the king was not as wise as Your Majesty, the country would be in an instant. At that time, all the lives of Hebei and even Hedong would be devastated. This is the biggest hidden danger of the country. General Yang, why did you send several sons to the battlefield one after another? Even Sanlang sacrificed. This is not that he did not love his children, but that he loved his children very much. Although he lost it, he was too small, but that he got it big."

Yang Ye bowed and said, "Mr. Song is far-reaching and far-reaching, but his subordinates are far inferior to him."

Originally, Yang Ye was going to recall it, but Zhao Kuangyi considered that Yang Ye had been in Hedong for a long time and was very familiar with the mountains, rivers, terrain, customs and customs, and even knew the Khitans very well, so he continued to keep Yang Ye and help Song Jiu.

After saying that, each will return to his or her respective stations.

Pan Mei also went back. If it weren't for Song Jiu, Yang Ye's death, and the ministers attacked Pan Mei, which led to Pan Mei being depressed and died in this year. However, the failure of the Northern Expedition, Pan Mei was also depressed. In addition, she went south and north, and her health was also getting worse and sick from time to time.

Song Jiu was replaced in time, otherwise Pan Mei might die of old age in Taiyuan.

Winter is getting deeper.

Song Jiu did not have any major military operations in Taiyuan, but instead began to take on the duties of civil servants and handle officials' affairs.

But then the court made a series of personnel changes.

Yin Xian was the governor of Shengzhou, Yang Qiong was the general manager of Shengzhou, Zhang Ning was the deputy general manager, Tian Renlang replaced Yin Xian, and Xiazhou, and Yanzhou was the governor of Zhai Shousu. Others did not change much. But where is Shengzhou? The vast Hexi land above the two prefectures of Fengfu was where Shengzhou was located in the Tang Dynasty.
