Chapter 1089

"When did my Song Dynasty become so powerful?" The ministers couldn't help but have such questions in their minds.

Yes, in the past, or two years ago, from the defeat of Yongle City to the decades two years ago, whether it was the Northern Liao or the Western Xia, whenever there was a war with the Song Dynasty, almost every battle was the Song Dynasty.

Either it would lose troops and generals, or it would cede land and seek peace, and compensation would be made. Almost no war could boost people's morale.

However, it seems that since Wang Yang followed Su Dongpo into Shaanxi, the situation seemed to have magically reversed. First, there was a great victory in Hongdezhai, then the air raid in Yanzhou, then the great victory in Wuyan Ancient City, and the surrender of Liang Yip to Youzhou and Hongzhou.

When Western Xia and Northern Liao came to the scene, the attack and defense of Youzhou were first attacking and defensive. Wang Yang blocked the 500,000 Liaoxia coalition forces in Youzhou for more than a month.

Later, he sneaked into Xingqing Prefecture of Xixia, destroyed its imperial tomb, burned its Xingqing Cang, and then took Longzhou and Yinzhou. Afterwards, he relied on strong negotiations to obtain Shizhou from the hands of the Xixia, leaving no more Xia people on the south bank of Wuding River.

Now, less than a year of peace has passed between the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia and the Northern Liao Dynasty. Wang Wushan has brazenly provoked border riots because of the people of the Song Dynasty.

What’s important is that this guy has no support from the court, or even without mobilizing the full strength of Shaanxi North Road.

And just let the teacher lead the troops across the Wuding River, carry the eight Yuanyou stone throwing machines, and smash them for an hour and a half. Oh... Da Song won again.

Yelu Dadun, the general manager of the Hedong Road, led 80,000 troops at the Sanchakou Fort, and his dog's brain was almost out, but he had not yet been able to touch a mere fortress in the Song Dynasty.

The feeling that Wang Wushan is simply the incarnation of the god of victory, invincible and invincible.

"We can't let him continue to do so recklessly. Dasong cannot always look at Shaanxi North Road. If he continues to do this, will there be a day for us to turn over in the future?"

Jia Yi looked at Liang Tao, Wang Yansou, Liu Anshi, Lu Dalin, You Zuo and other old party backbones with a gloomy face and said jokingly.

Jia Yi's words also made the old party bosses present nodded in disagreement.

"But now, Wang Wushan is in power and favored, how can we do anything to him? Before, when His Majesty issued an order to denounce him, if the talented people sent by the Three Divisions could find enough evidence to suppress Wang Wushan, how could we have today?"

"...My lords, it's not that the officials we chose are stupid. The talents of those three lords are not unaware of them. If you want to blame, you can only blame Wang Wushan for being too cunning."

"After that being said, we can't continue to watch him like this as Wang Wushan continues to gain power on the North Shaanxi Road, right? Don't forget that over the years, our Song Dynasty has been fighting and losing money. We have finally lived a quiet life of less than a year. Now there is another border quarrel."

"But the problem is that this time the Liao Kingdom is wrong. Since we are ministers of the Song Kingdom, can we still speak from the standpoint of the Liao Kingdom? Don't forget that Su Xueshu and Your Majesty are both on the side of Wangwu Mountain."

"Mr. Liu is right, but Lu thought that if Wang Yang continued to stay on the Shaanxi North Road, with his prestige established by his military power and ability over the past few years, it would be unlikely that we would be able to intervene in the future..."

"Well... In the past, in the eyes of many people, the six prefectures on the north road of Shaanxi were in the eyes of the six prefectures, except for the Yanzhou, which had some permission to obtain, the other prefectures were deserted and the industries were withered. But after they arrived at the hands of Wang Wushan, they became different."

"Some time ago, I checked the household registration delivered by Shaanxi North Road at the Ministry of Revenue. Do you know how many people are there in the six prefectures on Shaanxi North Road?" Liang Tao swept away the ministers present and said in a deep voice.

"How many people can there be? Your Majesty ordered the migrant army of the world to cause grievances among the people. Many local officials wrote letters to impeach Wang Wushan. If His Majesty and Su Dongpo had not guaranteed him, how could he have the chance to stay on the North Road of Shaanxi today?" A minister of the Ministry of War could not help but snorted coldly.

Liang Tao couldn't help frowning impatiently. "Shilarious Minister Chen, this is not the time to talk about this..."

"My Ministry of War knows the population there best. Yan, You and Hong's three states originally had a population of only 150,000. After that, our Song Dynasty migrated 70,000 Huxiang Army to a total of 350,000 people into the three states."

"As for the land of the three states of Yin, Shi and Long, because of the agreement between our Song Dynasty and Xixia, the population was almost completely moved to Xia, except for a small number of Han people. The three states could almost be said to be empty in nine out of ten households. It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty specially recruited 120,000 military households, a total of 600,000 migrated into the North Road of Shaanxi..."

"By the end of spring this year, the migration mission of the 120,000 wing army was completed. Now, the population of the six prefectures on the north road of Shaanxi must be around 1.2 million."

Seeing the Minister of War show off in front of him, Liang Tao couldn't help but smile coldly. "That was just the court that passed through the Ministry of War. Now, there are a total of 360,000 households on the North Road of Shaanxi."

"It's only 360,000... Hum? Lord Liang, what do you think is 360,000 households?" Mr. Chen's eyes stood up directly. He looked at Liang Tao with his eyes curled up, looking disbelief.

All the ministers present also looked shocked.

Liu Anshi had a gloomy face and said incredibly. "This, isn't this possible? Chaoting clearly only migrated 170,000 households to the Xiang army, which had migrated 170,000 households from Shaanxi North Road, but this has accounted for nearly 70% of our Song Xiang army. Even if we moved all the Xiang army to Shaanxi North Road, it would not be enough..."

Liang Tao smiled bitterly. "It seems that you really don't know. Let me tell you the truth. The permanent population of Yanzhou on North Shaanxi Road alone has reached 380,000, while Hongzhou, which is slightly lower, also has a population of nearly 350,000."

"As for Yu Yuzhou, it is the smallest state among the six states, but there are also 250,000."

"Mr. Liang, where did those populations emerge? Could it be that Wang Wushan lied to the court?" Jia Yi's narrowed eyes were filled with cold light.

"Those populations are formed by the migration of people from Shaanxi Road, Hedong Road, even Jingxi Road, Qinfeng Road, Lizhou Road and other places."

"What?! What do those local officials do for food? If such things happen, aren't they afraid of civil unrest?"
