Lu Yijian may not have truly understood the Doctrine of the Mean. Not only Lu Yijian, Confucius is also probably ignorant of the Doctrine of the Mean. He vaguely knows its importance, but he has not really figured it out. Zheng Lang is the same, and he is not attentive to think about the Doctrine of the Mean now.

With the current situation in mind, I sighed in my heart.

The new policy of Qingli in Cai can go further. No matter what, its harmonious measures are correcting some of the shortcomings of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, the timing is great and the country is in trouble. Zhao Zhen once again strives forward and even cooperates with the reforms to acquiesce the attacks on various ministers: Lu Yijian is recuperating at home, and the rights are handed over one by one. The so-called villain party fell down the largest tree. Without the leader, including Yan Shu, who can Yan Shu be his opponent?

Zheng Lang did not overthrow Yan, otherwise he could have calmly brought Yan Shu off the stage by taking advantage of peace talks:

It is a great time. As long as you are more generous and unite the ministers, including Wang Gongchen and Jia Changchao, you will also cooperate. Xia Jun is unhappy. Can he jump the whole world alone? But...

Zheng Lang didn't persuade him, who would listen to you? Zhao Zhen's advice may not persuade these dozen people. Besides, he himself.

If you are too impatient, even dogs bite people. Besides, who is easy to mess with these people? How can you not fight back?

He wanted to be the best, but he was the Prime Minister of Qian, how could he be? He soon fell into it, and the object of the dispute was one of his friends, Fu Bi.

The thieves invaded Jinzhou. Wang Maoxian, the magistrate of Jinzhou, was afraid of death. He opened the city gate and let the bandits enter the city. So the rebels robbed the treasury, and took away the weapons one by one. But Wang Maoxian could not say this. He said that since Bazhun had to go to Lingnan, he began to lie, saying that there were only twenty-four soldiers in my city, who were defeated and defeated, which led to the thieves entering the city. I had resisted, and I could not blame me, nor could I exil to Lingnan for the crime of communicating with the enemy.

Fu Bixin thought that the truth wrote a letter saying that before the Western thieves rebelled, there were thieves, but they did not dare to kill officials: Now the thieves have publicly entered the state city to rob and cause thirty or forty states to be killed. In the past, there were cases of entering the city secretly, and they all sneaked into the city at night. Now they have publicly entered the city during the day and opened the treasury without any precautions. There are only 24 soldiers in Jinzhou, which makes the thief feel hearted: Please increase troops from the capital city at a critical point to support the states.

Zheng Lang didn't care that this memorial would not produce many redundant soldiers just by garrisoning. But Fu Bi's memorial caused Zheng Lang to rebound strongly (the text of this memorial is quite beautiful and is included in the work. If you have time, go and take a look.

First, the use of troops in the west caused a disturbance of the world, the material resources were poor, the people complained, and the court lacked financial resources to maintain it, so it became a thief. Zheng Lang admired it. Then he talked about the dangers of the thieves, and said that the day before yesterday, he submitted a letter to the west of the Beijing to choose key states and gather troops, thinking that the support in various places was a very dangerous signal. Another reason for the great thieves was that officials from all over the country were not effective, so Zheng Lang ignored it. He also talked about the third reason for the great thieves. The emperor was benevolent, but conservative and ill-gotten laws and did not promote talent, so that His Majesty's benevolence cannot influence the people, and the handling orders led to the thieves all over the world. I always thought about this and fought in a cold manner.

Needless to say, it’s terrifying. You are asking you to change it. If you don’t like that minister, you will immediately withdraw from this person. What else should you do?

Zheng Lang still doesn't care about this.

Therefore, we cannot just seek good luck, we only need to reform, employ people, transfer envoys, prefects, and counties all need good officials to protect the city and gather the people. We also need the troops stationed by the county to rescue them: Let’s talk about this again.

This memorial gave Zhao Zhen a profound response, so he was reluctant to let go of his troops in the future, and the imperial guards were gradually added in the west, Jingdong and Jianghuai.

Zheng Lang presented a memorial, saying in it that the reason why there are many thieves, which is that the use of troops has caused financial hardship, and disasters have followed one after another, a large number of thieves have emerged. There are also officials who are cowardly and incompetent, which makes the thieves rampant. There are soldiers in the west of the Beijing, mostly concentrated in the areas east of Luoyang, Mengzhou, Zhengzhou, Huazhou, Xuzhou, and Chenzhou, one is the Khitan, and two is the Gongguan. There are very few troops west of Jingxi Road, but not without them, Xiangzhou, the fourth camps of Dengzhou, and the ten camps of Ruzhou! Suizhou, the first camp of Shangzhou, and nearly twenty camps of troops, and there are also a large number of wing troops and yamen runners. The scale of the thieves was not large at the beginning, most of which were dozens of people. Where are these officers, soldiers and yamen runners?

When the thieves entered Jinzhou, the army had very few troops, but the number of thieves was also very small, only a few hundred people. There were city gates, city walls, yamen runners, people, servants of wealthy families, and weapons to defend the city. What was Wang Maoxian doing? Open the door to welcome the thieves. For those who are overweight, Li Zhengji, the magistrate of Shunyang of Dengzhou, not only opened the city gate to welcome the thieves, but also prepared drums and music, and welcomed drums and drums several miles away. He welcomed the thieves into Shunyang City to ask when they had resisted? Or there were few soldiers, but no Hao had a stumbling block on Jingyuan Road, and 40,000 troops were approaching the city city. There were only more than two thousand soldiers in Weizhou City, so wouldn’t the Western thieves be more fierce than the thieves? So should they open the city gate and surrender?

Can increasing troops solve the problem? No matter how many troops you increase, it will be useless! On the contrary, the more troops stationed, the heavier the redundant soldiers. The more redundant soldiers, the more soldiers, the more soldiers, the more they will be able to treat the country well, the more redundant soldiers, and the more powerful generals it will be. The more harsh military is, the more redundant soldiers, the more national expenses it will be, and the more burden it will be, the more important reasons why soldiers become military thieves, and the latter is one of the reasons why the people become thieves.

The country is disarmament and implementing guidance strategies. Why did Russia take counter-information and adopt the method of blocking? It is said that it cannot be conservative. What is this?

It is not a question of increasing troops, but the key is how the court can cultivate a useful army, rather than make the army a person with wine bags. After criticizing Fu Bi, he made another request and allowed him to send troops to Shaanxi Province.

The bandits in Sanmen of Shaanxi robbed grain and wanted to cut off the grain route in Shaanxi, and their intentions were extremely evil. As long as the imperial court's grain could not reach Shaanxi, the hungry people could expand, the rebel army could expand. However, the edict in advance stated that Han Qi was in charge of the remaining bandits on Shaanxi Road and Zheng Lang was in charge of the remaining bandits on Jingxi Road. Therefore, Zheng Lang's army was in the mountains of Mianchi, not far from Shaanxi, but could not exceed the authority and enter Shanzhou to suppress. However, Han Qi had more affairs, disarmament, pacifying the army, defending the border, and pacifying the people, and preparing for the remaining bandits. People were in Chang'an, and the thieves were out of reach, so that the hidden thieves would be brave enough to rob the grain route.

When the memorial was handed to the capital, Zhao Zhen did not say that Fu Bi was not good, but Zheng Lang and Han Qi were allowed to do it. Let's go to suppress the bandits and suppress the bandits for me, otherwise the country will be in chaos.

Zheng Lang stopped climbing:

I discussed with Di Qing, but before the discussion, I asked: "General Di, why do I let the soldiers train to climb the mountain?"

"There are many mountains in the west of Nanjing, Shaanxi. Once the army arrives, the thieves will not fight effectively, and they will sneak into the deep mountains: it is said that it is a large army, but my husband only leads more than five people, which is not enough to sweep all the mountain and monuments. Therefore, before the battle, Zu Jian climbed the mountain and made the soldiers familiar with fighting in the mountains."

"It's reasonable" Zheng Lang said first.

There are many mountains in the main active areas of the rebel army, such as Xionger Mountain, which is the Fuhuo Vein of later generations, as well as the more powerful Qinling Mountains, and other continuous mountains. But Zheng Lang also said: "Not only that, the actual thieves are easier to exterminate. After all, the court has always been very kind to the people. Once food aid continues to arrive, thieves will even voluntarily leave the thieves and become good people again. I have another preparation for the south."

"south?"

"Chen Zhifang destroyed the Guiyang salt thieves, and forced himself to move the troubled Han people and the familiar barbarians to a foreign land to prevent future troubles: but the court has always treated these barbarians very kindly, and once arguing and seeking completeness, these barbarians are determined not to accept it. Once they rebel again, the mountains are taller and deeper, and the barbarians of the barbarians are more fierce. If the court is careless, it will inevitably become a major trouble in the south. If it is extinguished quickly, the influence of the court is not great. If the battle lasts for a long time, it will definitely affect the government's finances."

This is easy to understand with Di Qing.

The faster the war, the greater the impact on finances, and the longer it is delayed, the greater the impact. For example, in the northwest, a single battle was purchased, including the tragic battle of the village, the funds used were not much. Although a wave of arrows was collected, even if there were thousands or tens of thousands of chunks of pensions were gone, and the amount of money was spent on the post-war pension, the amount would not exceed tens of millions. The reason why it was used was that it was delayed, hundreds of thousands of troops were given food and drink, weapons support, and military food and salary, this was the real big deal.

Yang Mei spent more than six years in Moji, South, how much does it cost?

"Once the thief resurrects, I want to push you to the south, but the south will mostly fight in the mountainous areas. The training of these people today is for you in the future. I wonder if you are willing to do so?"

"Mr. Zheng, how dare I refuse in the country when it is in trouble?"

Zheng Lang nodded.

There are good generals in the northwest, and Zhang Kang will soon fall into trouble. Wang Kai and Zhe Jimin cannot leave the prefecture. Wang Xin is old, and although Zhang Chen and Wang Ji are brave, it is not suitable to go to the south. They are brave and violate the ban. Under the complex terrain in the south, it is very dangerous. He Shiheng is also old. Only Di Qing is the most suitable. Therefore, Zheng Lang specially recruited Di Qing from the northwest to the capital.

But it will have an effect on the current time:

What would the rebels think when they were climbing mountains every day? They would just stop their idea of ​​fighting in the mountains!

Zheng Lang not only led his troops to climb the mountain, but also sent people to find out the details of the bandits and know themselves and their enemies, so that they can win every battle. Han Qi was also not moved, but heard that he transferred his favorite generals Ji Zhi and Jingtai from Qinfeng Road and Jingyuan Road. Jingtai was valued by Zheng Lang, and was considered Han Qi's old subordinate: But he had not moved, and he was probably thinking about strategy at this time and inquire about the details of the thieves:

It was found that this thief who robbed grain was not the direct troops of Guo Miaoshan and Zhang Qian, but had a relationship with Zhang Hai. The leader was Wei Erda. The Song Dynasty liked to form associations, such as the Feilu Society in the capital, the Qiyun Society in Cuju, the Eyun Society in the Essence of the Essence of the Song Dynasty, the Tongwen Society who sang and played lyrics, the horn of the sumo wrestling, the Qingyin Society in the Qingyue Society, the Jinbiao Society in the flower embroidered Jinyi Society, the Yingluo Society in the novel, the Xiongbian Society in the novel, etc., there were literature and martial arts, men and women, and there were also other places outside the capital. Moreover, the more you went north, the more you had martial arts, the more powerful the meaning of martial arts. For example, many bow and archery clubs, the horse club and the Zhongyi Tour Club in the north were all civil organizations that spontaneously practiced martial arts and were ready to resist the invasion.

There are also some near the capital, but not many. The court held a very ambiguous attitude towards this. Sometimes it supported it, and sometimes the people were stronger than the officials, so they opposed it:

Zhang Hai is a member of Dengzhou Bow and Archery Club and Yingluo Club

When Zheng Lang heard this news, he did not dare to report it, afraid that Zhao Zhen would have bad ideas about the Baojia method again. In fact, the problem is not whether the people are brave. The braver the people are, it is a good thing to strengthen the country and the Han. The root cause is still governance.

The reason for the rebellion was also related to the Battle of Northwest. Zhang He and the fourth-class family belonged to the Song Dynasty's half-prosperous family, but they were also the most reasonable class to suffer this war: it doesn't matter. His wife is very beautiful, and Zheng Lang saw it with his own eyes.

An official in Dengzhou was greedy for Zhang Hai's wife's beauty, so Liao Yi increased the taxes, which led to Zhang Hai and his wife killing officials this spring and becoming thieves. At first, there were only more than twenty people, but Liu Zhi did not act in Dengzhou. As a result, Zhang Hair became bigger and bigger and more subordinates were also more and more.

Zheng Lang reported the situation truthfully after inquiring about it, and also asked the monarch and ministers to reflect on it. Why these people became thieves? Indeed, six of the ten reforms mentioned by Fan Zhongyan talked about choosing people, and there was a reason: but finding the reason did not really find the solution. Zheng Lang did not find it either...but he was not sure and would not propose a worker.

Zhang Haiyuancai was very good when he was in the Bow and Archery Club. Zheng Lang had seen this, but he did not take action, but saw that they were very agile. Some "heroes" made friends with him, including the Wei Erda, Shanzhou. It was probably Zhang He people who bewitched Wei Erda's grain protection team, which was the locals in Shanzhou. The terrain was familiar. They turned into bandits when they robbed the grain, and after leaving, they turned into people. It was difficult for the government to check.

This is also a matter of vision, can't you really find it out?

After more than twenty days of training, not only Wei Erda, but also more than 70 accomplices from Wei Erda, Zheng Lang sent people to understand clearly, and what makes people funny is that most of them are Mount Wushan. The place where Zheng Lang's army trained was one in Mianchi on Shandong and the other in Shanxi County on Shanxi:

Start discussing with Di Qing.

The next day, the soldiers of the Forty Battalion were sent to capture Wei Er Dazi and his gang. The soldiers of the Forty Battalion were all reorganized. More than 1,800 elite soldiers were enough to fight with two or three thousand Xixia troops, but they were used to deal with more than 70 bandits... Zheng Lang was using Guan Gong's Yanyue Sword to slaughter chickens:
