At first, the place where Zhigao passed was unstoppable. Although he returned to Yongzhou, he was repairing boats and bowing, which made the ministers of the two and Guangxi very nervous. Wei Guan, the new magistrate of Guangzhou, and Yuan Tao, and the Guangdong Transportation Commissioner, wrote a letter that if the defense was not done with mercy, they would not be able to do it for a long time. If the city of Guangzhou had to recruit wealthy families and men and women and soldiers to repair them, they would have to be fully repaired. If there was no good strategy to fight against the enemy, but if the enemy was accustomed to the water battle, the enemy would fight when they arrived, it would be a last resort.

This was originally good.

The big men in the capital also realized this problem. Because they did not pay attention to the south, most areas spent money to buy security policies. In addition, the imperial soldiers in the capital were northern soldiers. If they were not familiar with the weather in the south, they often migrated to the southern camp, with many casualties, so there were few troops stationed and most cities could not be fully defended. This is also the key reason why Nong Zhigao was unstoppable. It was Nong Zhigao. If Zheng Lang and Di Qing joined forces, the officialdom of Lingnan in the Song Dynasty was deteriorating, Zheng Lang governed the people, and Di Qing conquered the city. Until now, the entire Guangdong and Guangxi had long become a real southern country.

But the civil servants don't understand.

Then Nong Zhigao focused on winning over two people, one was the leader of Temo Village, Nong Xiacheng. This part made him win over successfully. His mother Anon led a cavalry to sneak into Temo Village. The other was Huang Shouling, but Huang Shouling got the benefits of Yu Jing and saw the Song army gathering from all directions, and hesitated. Nong Zhigao was unhappy and sent a soldier to attack Huang Shouling and was defeated.

The actual scale of this battle was not large. Nong Zhigao did not divide the main army, but was only one of them. He had few troops and underestimated the enemy. Since Huang Shouling could be valued by Nong Zhigao and repeatedly won over, the tribe was also very powerful and occupied the advantage of the land and people, so Huang Shouling won.

Yu Jing didn't understand, thinking that Nong Zhigao's morale had begun to decline before it failed. He also saw that the local soldiers recruited by Guangdong and Guangxi, several battalions of imprisoned soldiers, local soldiers recruited from Jiangnan West Road and Hunan, except for the remaining cities, most of them moved to the vicinity of Yongzhou. Their courage suddenly became stronger.

The actual reason for this was that the court was dissatisfied with his foreign worker. The number one coach has now become the number four coach, and Di Qing came to Guangnan. He didn't want a warrior to point fingers on his head, and he felt urgent.

Zheng Langcai officially entered the Hunan territory. His ranks were not slow, but mostly infantry, and he discussed the construction of two roads. Therefore, after entering Ezhou, the speed became slower and slower. However, Di Qing's side was full of foreign cavalry. The speed was very fast, and he had appeared for several days before. He had already led his troops across the Five Ridges, and Yu Jing wanted to seize the merits.

So the command headquarters general Chen Shu sent troops to Kunlun Pass.

Chen Shu's mood became subtle, and the imperial edict had been issued long ago. Zheng Lang's army in Guangdong and Guangxi must obey Zheng Lang's mobilization. Zheng Lang was not here, and he had to obey Di Qing's mobilization. If he was a branch marching, he obeyed Sun Mian's command. Although Yu Jing was once the commander, he actually did not have the right to command the army to fight. Before Di Qing arrived at Wuling, he asked the military commander to issue military orders to the front line. The front line army mobilized defense, but no army could go to the front line. Di Qing was not far from the army, and Sun Mian would soon come to the front line. Logically, Chen Shu didn't have to obey Yu Jing's orders, but in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, Di Qing was only a martial artist, so what qualifications did not give Yu Jing face? According to common sense, should he obey the orders of civil servant Yu Jing or obey Di Qing's martial artist? If he chose any official in the Song Dynasty, he would be a simple choice. At the same time, he had the idea of ​​competing for merit.

So Chen Shu ignored Di Qing's order and led 8,000 troops to Kunlun Pass. As a military general, he was stronger than some civil officials who came to Lingnan who immediately abandoned the city and fled. However, as a military general himself, he was not as good as Ge Huaimin. The army marched to Jincheng Post. There were a series of post stations from Kunlun Pass to the east road. The Guirenpu, which was about to arrive, was the second post station, and Jincheng Post was still northeast of Guirenpu.

Chen Shu ordered the three armies to set up camp. He had no prestige in the management of the army. Once the camp was set up, the soldiers had no entertainment activities in the military camp. Moreover, they were a group of miscellaneous soldiers gathered together to start gambling, throwing dices constantly, including Cantonese, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Hunan, and a small number of Northern Mandarin spoken by the forbidden soldiers. The soldiers from all over the world raised their elbows one by one, and bet so much that they were lost.

Nong Zhigao sent people to spy on the situation of this army, led most of the troops out of Kunlun Pass, and quickly rushed to the large camp of the Song army. Hearing that the thief army suddenly rushed over, Chen Shu didn't know why, so he gave an order to ask Wang Chengji to stop gambling with the 500 Zhongdang soldiers summoned from Yizhou and gathered to meet the enemy for the vanguard. As for the other soldiers, the commander was shouting, and most of them were in a hurry to be gambling, and no one listened to the order. Even the Zhongdang soldiers were not much better, and they reluctantly put away the money and dice, and lazily put on armor. Before the armor was finished, Nong Zhigao's army arrived. How could they fight? Eight thousand people were almost wiped out, and Wang Chengji and Xu Ou were both killed in battle, and only Chen Shu and a few generals escaped.

After hearing this, Zheng Lang was still furious even though he was prepared, he wrote a letter to scold Yu Jing, "What do you want to do?" If you ruin my business, Shamen Island will be the waiter."

There were also labor camps in the Song Dynasty. The Criminal Law Chronicle clearly stipulated that those who were subordinated were Shamen Island Village, followed by the ridge table, and then within 3,000 miles of the neighboring states. Since Li Shimin released the death row prisoners home, most of the monarchs of the Song Dynasty regarded Li Shimin's nonsense as a model and attached great importance to the death row prisoners. They often needed the emperor's personal comments to be imposed before the death row was executed. The rest were mostly exiled, and the mild ones were sent to labor camps near their hometowns for labor camps. The family could still visit them from time to time. If the family had money, take some care of them.

The benefits are that the family can be taken care of by the military officers who are even disciplined and released in advance. The most important is Lingnan and Hainan, which is beyond reach and is left to fate. The most important is Shaman Island, which is the Changshan Island in Yantai later. In the Song Dynasty, like later generations, it was also a place with fertile land and beautiful scenery. Because there are many temples on the island, many of them were fishermen going to sea to pray for peace and security. Buddhism is also called Shaman Island, so it is called Shaman Island.

However, there is a difference. In the late Tang Dynasty, a prison camp was set up here, which is now called the prison camp, and many serious criminals were imprisoned. The prison camp of Shamen Island was called Shamen Village, and the warden was called Shamen Village. Because the land was isolated, the village owner was a perverted person and often enjoyed torture prisoners. Zheng Lang also issued an order for this, saying that six things were mentioned before the order. One was a long-term lockdown, which was also the big shackle. This was more tortured than handcuffs, and there were more time limits. Afraid of accidents in the prisoners. However, on Shamen Island, the village owner often did not know the time, and often let the prisoners wear shackles for one or half a year. After a long time, the prisoners' neck bones were deformed, and the wrist bones would be broken, and sometimes the iron chains would grow into flesh. Second, they were not given food, and Song Xingli also stipulated. If the prisoners did not give food to prisoners and had a stick of sixty to make it humane, the prisoners would often hungry on Shamen Island.

Death. The third is to feed the sawdust, and force the prisoner to pour it into the sawdust and water. The prisoner could not digest the sawdust. Finally, he died of fullness. The fourth is to feed the loach fish, put a very small steel hook into the fish's belly and let the prisoner swallow it. After the fish is digested, the steel hook is in the stomach and it is difficult to discharge. The hook breaks the stomach and intestines. The prisoner whines and dies after struggling for several days. The fifth is a stone cloth bag. Put pebbles on the Shanghai side of the sack, tie the mouth tightly, and use this numbing

The prisoner was beaten to the sack. The prisoner was beaten to death but could not be injured. Sixth, the needle was inserted into the shoulder well. First massage the prisoner's shoulder to relax and make his skin relaxed and he was happy. He was suffering from the back. Then, the entire steel needle was inserted into the prisoner's Jianjing point. The steel needle was thin and the whole was inserted into the outside. It was not easy to see from the outside, but the prisoner would feel severe pain. His arms were difficult to move and he could not do work. He was justified in the case of being lazy.

As soon as this order was released, the world was in an uproar. The Song Dynasty regarded itself as benevolent. Although most of the benevolent governments were ridiculous, they were done well compared to previous dynasties. For example, interrogating prisoners only used small thorn strips and small bamboo strips instead of large wooden boards. When did you dare to use such a cool method?

Zhao Zhen was actually alarmed and his personal envoy went up to investigate. Most of the tortures were found, and many prisoners were tortured to death.

Zhao Zhen was furious and immediately killed the Shamen village leader and issued an edict to clearly stipulate that those who were severely punished were only fifty-year-old, and those who were severely punished were not allowed to be shackled for more than ten days, their food and food shall not be detained, and any other torture shall be used to torture the prisoners. The tortured prisoners shall be compensated and released immediately home.

As soon as this edict was issued, countless prisoners cried bitterly at Shaman Island.

Of course, Zheng Lang's more than four years in power was called the peak of the Song Dynasty's administration. It was not only a way to accumulate wealth, but also a way to benefit the people. The policy of benefiting the people was not only this. Therefore, it was praised by countless literati in the world. When Zheng Lang went to Lingnan, many people regretted it.

But Shaman Island became famous throughout the world and was called the Killing Island.

The Song Dynasty did not kill literati and officials, but some literati and officials violated the law too much, and occasionally there were cases of exile on Shaman Island.

Helpless, I was afraid that Yu Jing would continue to be confused. After all, Di Qing was the second head coach at this time, not the first head coach. Although Yu Jing had made contributions to governing Lingnan in history, there were many officials who were good at governing the people in the Song Dynasty. Not only Bao Zheng, who was famous in history, such as Li Suzhi, Xu Yuan, Cheng Shimeng, Wang Su, Cheng Kan, and Wei Guan, Yuan Tao, who were in Guangzhou at this time, built the city, so why both officials were worried? It was precisely because they would cause burden to the people that the two officials were worried.

Xincai deliberately wrote memorials and was so careful to the people! These officials treated the people no less than Bao Zheng. Over the years, Zheng Lang carefully discovered these officials one by one and went to the stage one by one. For example, giving Xu Yuanlong's position as a direct scholar in Tu Pavilion, Xu Yuan looked at the north after receiving the imperial edict in Jiangnan and cried bitterly for most of the day. After all, he was not a genuine Jinshi official. If he could get this honorary position, he would not be excited, and then he would start to be tired, and he would almost be ready to devote himself to his work and want to repay the court.

It is unlikely that officials across the country will become better, but don’t find too many officials to replace Yu Jing.

Then I wrote a letter to Di Qing, saying that you can do things cheaply, I will give you all the rights temporarily. Don’t be afraid, do whatever you want, and I will be your backing. But after writing a few things, the first thing is to prevent any soldier from killing good people, those who have no intention of killing good people are beaten up, and those who have no intention of killing good people are killed! A very rational order is that sometimes the rebels take off their uniforms and mix with the people. If they are not killed, they will kill mistakenly.

The second thing allowed the rebels to surrender. They did not have any great evil or murderous rebels. As long as they had the intention of repentance, they would be allowed to go home. Those with great evil or human life would be detained and waited for themselves to go to Yongzhou to deal with it. For example, if Huang Shuai Mi surrendered, Zheng Lang would also kill these traitors! There were also some rebel soldiers who were seriously burned, killed and plundered. Nong Zhigao returned from Guangzhou and raped a large number of good girls all the way back. Nong Zhigao took the lead. You can imagine how many crimes this rebel army committed! Even if these people surrender, they would never forgive them.

The third thing is to kill the rebels who do not surrender, even if they are defeated and fled, they can kill them if they can!

The first is benevolent politics, and the third is hegemony. With the issuance of these three orders, the Kunlun Pass Battle completely changed.

Sima Guang asked curiously: "Mr. Zheng, is it gone?"

In the Northwest Battle, he and Wang Anshi did not participate. He heard many rumors that Zheng Lang was planning and winning thousands of miles away. He thought he had written some good strategies for Di Qing to implement.

Zheng Lang laughed and said, "Yes, what else do you think there will be? The way to be an official is easy or not, but it is difficult. A wise person will hold the world and be kind to the people. This people are not only powerful but also more people at the bottom. They are loyal to the emperor and patriotism, not greedy or introverted, and then they will have virtue. Then there is governance, and the same is true for governing. There is a clear plan in mind. Various governance strategies revolve around this plan. This is the strategy, and the second is to employ people and put the right people in it.

In a suitable position, whether as a magistrate or as a chief, there will be great governance. Why did I have a quiet relationship with Ouyang Yongshu when I was young, and there have been many conflicts in recent years? It is the difference between morality and the concept of administration. He believed that those who rule the world must be literati and officials from regular halls. If so, wouldn’t I not be qualified? Secondly, I am the Jinshi on the regular hall examination list. The rest are all inferior. If so, what is Xu Yuan? Or before the Sui Dynasty, Xiao He

Maybe he is a good official, Zhang Liang may be a noble prince, but what is Cao's participation in Chen Ping? In fact, although I went south, the scale was large, and many people in the court thought it was difficult, but it was not difficult. First, I made a decision. I had been planning a few years ago and had sufficient preparations. Second, I was employed, handing over the marching and fighting to all generals, and governing the place to all good officials, so the plan could be successful. Junshi, remember that people cannot judge their value based on their origins. Whether it is civilians or

The powerful and powerful have good sides and bad sides, and they will produce talents, and people are not omnipotent. If you are good at this, you will have some shortcomings. Civil officials are mainly good at governing the way, and they must focus on military generals. Even if you punish the rebellion of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, you cannot over-restrict the rights of military generals. As long as you pay attention, you cannot let the generals gather the vast majority of political, financial and military powers into one, and form the power of the vassal states. This is the real secret of my victory in the northwest."

Sima Guang pondered.

In fact, half of the words were enlightening Sima Guang.

There was nothing else in the Song Dynasty. As long as these two awesome students were not stubborn, the future of the Song Dynasty would be bright!

The army slowly arrived in Pingjiang, which was the starting point of the first part of the road planning.

Some civilians are already starting construction.

All the roads in this area are relatively complete, and some do not need to be repaired at all, so they are already thoroughfares. What is widened is some mountainous roads, and Zheng Lang deliberately went to watch them. Because gunpowder has performed outstandingly on the battlefield, especially the tall Beizhou City, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were panicked and the management of gunpowder became increasingly strict. Therefore, the procedures for gunpowder management and use are becoming more and more complicated. However, since Ping An Supervision has used gunpowder one after another, the method of using gunpowder has become more and more advanced. I don’t know much about its air pressure effect, but I know that its closed explosion is better.

At the beginning, we used the previous method of opening stones, using the hot and cold method and the vinegar method to make the stone soft and soft. Then we made a deep hole, and then the designated officials transported the gunpowder into the hole, and stuffed it into it, and ignited it as it was closed.

After a loud bang, Zheng Lang walked over to check the effect. He didn't know if the later Kaishan** was a more powerful TNT or continued to use black gunpowder, but he always felt that the effect was still not as good as the later Kaishan** effect.

He was not satisfied, but the people of this era were very satisfied. Several officials began to gather in front of Zheng Lang to flatter him. This powerful thing was invented by the prime minister. It was not counted in the past, but now gunpowder can be called **.

As the civilians smashed large areas of rocks after the bombing and transported them to low-lying places, the stones were just in time to pave the road.

Although I don’t like many officials following me like flies, I turned a few places and the construction of this part of the road is relatively smooth. If it is carried out at a fast speed, it will be over in February next year. Zheng Lang is still satisfied and commended the accompanying officials. Don’t expect that every official is Li Suzhi and Cheng Shimeng. If you are right, you should praise it and increase your enthusiasm. If you are wrong, you should point it out. This is the way to control the emperor.

Fan Chunyou said: "Mr. Zheng, I wonder if I can use it to dig Danshui Canal and Sanmen Canal?"

An experience with his father in Shaanxi was the most important experience in Fan Chunyou's life. Seeing that gunpowder is so powerful, he naturally thought of Shaanxi.

Zheng Lang shook his head and said, "Yes, not worth it. The Tang Dynasty of Danshui Canal has started local construction, rebuilt the Guannan canals, shortening the land road from Danshui to Chang'an. It also played an important role during the Anshi Rebellion, allowing Jianghan resources to be continuously transported to Guanzhong. This is the foundation for defeating the Anshi army. But that transportation is compared with the Jianghuai Road cut off, and the actual cost is still huge and cannot be normal. If Danshui Canal can truly achieve success, it runs through Jianghan and Guanzhong. , It is necessary to repair the project, especially for water diversion. There is not enough water source, the water volume is small, the river water level is low, and the boat is not allowed, which is equivalent to wasting money. If you want to divert water, you can also use the underground canal to direct the distant water flow to the Danshui Canal. However, although there are some rivers in the Guanzhong area of ​​Danshui, it is too far away, and the project volume must be very huge. And even if it is attracted, it is necessary to make arrangements similar to the Ling Canal, fold the canal into a zigzag shape to make the water flow It will not leak downstream quickly, so many dam gates must be built, and local people must also work as fiber-pulling fibers. Compared with the terrain, if the Danshui Canal is opened, the mountain height exceeds the Lingshui Canal, which is difficult, and the water flow is not as good as the water source flow around the Lingshui Canal, and the project volume is large. Shaanxi has been developed since the Tang Dynasty. Even if the Danshui Canal is only a icing on the cake, if you want to achieve it, the project volume may reach half of the Yangguang Canal. The quantity is not worth the price. Unless the Tang Dynasty did not put the capital in Chang'an, the Sanmen Canal can be considered appropriately, but the Sanmen Canal was formed for millions of years, or even longer. The river water did not destroy its Shenmen, the Ghost Gate Island and the main pillar. It can be seen that its stone is stubborn. If you want to blast, the blasting technology must be improved and the gunpowder is more advanced. Otherwise, with the current gunpowder power and blasting technology, it is very likely that a lot of financial and manpower will be wasted, and it will not be successful."

"The Three Gate is not Dayu..." Li Suzhi was a little suspicious.

"Tiancheng, Dayu is an ancient thing. Our dynasty has not figured out some history of the Tang Dynasty. Just some records of the Spring and Autumn Period, how can we figure out the deeds of Dayu nearly two thousand years ago? Or the legend of the elders, only a part of this can be believed. For example, what is my thing? I am still living in the world, what is it passed down by the world? I almost became a monster."

Everyone laughed together.

"Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang were ancient sages who could not be questioned, but the recorded deeds had various blackmails. With the strength of the three gates, our dynasty's current financial and human resources could not be cured. Yang Guang ignored the lives and death of the people of a country, and there was no cure. Besides, in ancient times, we had to learn to respect the ancients, but as descendants, we must carry on the past and open up the future. Many of the Master's principles were not explained clearly, but I also hope that the future generations would carry forward his knowledge, rather than fearing in his frame, fearing one's head and ending, and not daring to break through."

"Continue the past and open the future..." Li Suzhi murmured. The only two of them dared to shout this sentence in the world!

Zheng Lang's letter was in Yu Jing's hands, and Yu Jing became honest. Nong Zhigao's affairs took a long time. Eight thousand soldiers left their wives, children and young people, and came to Yongzhou, almost letting him lose it. If Zheng Lang made a fuss on it, with his favor in front of the emperor, he would really be able to bring himself to the island of killing. Moreover, during the Qingli New Deal, Zheng Lang did not agree with Fan Zhongyan's new decision and had conflicts with many gentlemen, but that was a disagreement in political views. He had a good personal relationship with gentlemen such as Fu Bi, Cai Xiang, Wu Yu, Wang Yaochen. However, Zheng Lang hated the two the most, the first one was Ouyang Xiu, and the second one was himself.

But if Zheng Lang came, Yu Jing was still convinced. Now Di Qing came. Yu Jing was full of contempt for the warriors in his bones, and he still couldn't tolerate Di Qing over him. Since I didn't let me attack Nong Zhigao, I could make a difference in my way, so I came up with a more confused plan!
