Chapter 651 Kunlun Pass (1)
Sima Guang didn't know what Zheng Lang meant. It was the two invasions of Su Maozhou Man, which opened the curtain for Jiaozhi's invasion of Lingnan. Nong Zhigao harmed the people of Lingnan. However, compared to Jiaozhi, it was still a small witch and a big witch. Moreover, Jiaozhi invasion was a matter of more than 20 years later. Zhao Zhen died long ago. I don't know if he could survive at that time. Even if he survived, he might not keep his word. One generation of monarchs and one generation of ministers. This is after all. He is not afraid of Jiaozhi Zheng Lang.
Di Qing's words of concern make sense, that is, that is, that Nong Zhigao and Jiaozhi join forces. At this time, Di Qing was about to arrive in the army. The victory of Kunlun Pass is coming soon. Even if Jiaozhi wants to join forces, it is too late. If he doesn't join forces, there is no need to worry about Jiaozhi, but Zheng Lang is not mentally prepared to fight Jiaozhi.
I still think there are fewer troops in my hands.
But if you look at it silently, you can see Chapter 651. After Kunlun Pass (Part 1) it can be more than two years later, Su Maoman began to launch the first invasion. You can either start to treat people first or later. After more than two years, will you still be in Lingnan?
Or take the opportunity to shock Su Maoman, what will Jiaozhi react? Zheng Lang opened the official document and found a map of Su Maoman, including the composition of the Nandanbo man under his rule, the La Liga Man and the Copper Pillar Man, the terrain distribution, living habits and other information.
After thinking for a long time, after closing the official document, there was a clear decision. You can't be anxious. After all, this move forward will have a series of wars, from Lingnan to Meishan Barbarians, and then to Kuizhou Barbarians. There are so many areas waiting to be resolved. This is the foundation of the country. Zheng Lang is not interested in Vietnam, a small place. In fact, Zheng Lang is more or less influenced by the civil officials of the Song Dynasty and is not very interested in expanding territory. If you manage the Western Xia, as long as you reduce the harm from the northwest border and manage the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, you only want to fight against the harm of the invasion of nomadic peoples in the south, which has nothing to do with expanding territory. Moreover, due to the current conditions, the area is large and seemingly majestic. Can it be managed? For example, Dali. It is not difficult to take Dali, and it takes a lot of hardship. What should you do after taking it? Continue to be detained?
Seeing Zheng Lang's action, Sima Guang felt relieved.
He didn't know much about Military Chapter 651 Kunlun Pass (Part 1). Zheng Lang is his teacher again. As for how much help this teacher's identity will help him in his career, Sima Guang never thought that there would be something, but it was also a kind of urge. If Zheng Lang was determined to target Su Maozhou Man, he would be hard to say. But he did not agree.
Continue to go south and take a break in Guiyang. In front of it is Daozhou and Quanzhou on the edge of Wuling. Zheng Lang wrote another memorial, reporting all the road plans of Jinghu South Road and Jiangnan West Road one by one. By the way, I will cross Wuling and arrive in Lingnan soon. Once I cross Wuling, I will not be under the jurisdiction of Jinghu South Road, and my position will also change.
New Year's Day is coming.
The Khitan was also four envoys, two of Xiao Nojin, two of Liao Xingzong, two of Yelu Yuansu, Liu Xu of the Liu family in Youzhou, Xiao Liangde and Lu Fu.
At the end of winter, the capital was covered with snow for several days. On the first day of Zhao Zhen, the Daqing Hall invited all the ministers and Khitan envoys. Suddenly, the weather was clear and cloudless. Several envoys flattered him, saying that it was the feeling of Zhao Zhen's sage.
If so, why did Zhao Zhen Dynasty have so many disasters?
In fact, it is forced by the situation.
The Khitans described the war with Beitubu as a horse and cow war. The Song Dynasty lacked large livestock, so they bought them from Tubo, Xixia and Khitan. However, Tubo was high and cold, and it was difficult to raise livestock, so Xixia and Khitan were strictly controlled. Xixia fought hard and had to let go of some livestock in exchange for supplies from the Song Dynasty.
The Khitan had no way to stop this, and it was not selling good horses. What they bought was only livestock that brought goods from arable land.
However, due to road reasons, Xixia bought a large number of livestock from Beizhubu and earned the interest rate spread. It was precisely because of this reason that Beizhubu was centrifuged and the war was born.
It’s so hard to fight, let’s look at the Song Dynasty again.
Along the way, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the four messengers were all a little jealous.
It looks very beautiful, and requires money and food. The Western Xia and the Khitan are fighting for years and there are no serious border troubles for a few years or even more than ten years, so the Song Dynasty was able to shift its focus to the south.
In fact, I pulled the brocade robe open, and lice were still crawling inside.
The redundant soldiers are slightly better, but there are still many problems. At most, they have gone from black holes to gray holes. The redundant officials and redundant governments have not reversed at all. The phenomenon of mergers and hidden fields is becoming more and more serious, and even the number of households in the end will be hidden. The data counted by the Ministry of Households shows that the number of households is declining!
With such a large-scale governance, the number of households has dropped. It’s strange.
There are countless disadvantages of various franchises, and there is also the south. It depends on whether Zheng Lang has the ability to cure it as he said in his plan, otherwise it would be a problem.
Another trouble is the rapid increase in the population. Don’t read the Ministry of Revenue’s household registration. It’s useless to read it. In fact, the life span of the people has been increasing for years, and the children of every household are also increasing. The increase in the population is a good thing, but it is troublesome if you handle it improperly.
The Khitan envoys didn't know that at this time, and at that time, the Khitan was also afraid that the Song Dynasty would take the opportunity to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.
I heard that Zheng Lang went to run the south, and I don’t know how many powerful people applauded. But it’s better not to be guilty.
There is another goal for this trip, to discuss business with the Song Dynasty.
Zheng Lang said in the Khitan that you Khitan wanted to restrain the Song Dynasty. It's okay, it's understandable, but we don't want your Khitan good horses. It doesn't matter if you give some bad horses. As long as you can cultivate land, it's fine. In addition, the large livestock are not very useful for war, and you can also loosen it. Zheng Lang said it, but the Khitan listened, it really doesn't matter? The Song Dynasty got more large livestock, and the grain output increased, and the national strength would be strong. With various livestock, the war came, and the transportation capacity would be strengthened. This matter has been dragged on, but the Xixia side took the lead. Under the pressure of the national economy, the four envoys came to bring a mission to sell 100,000 livestock to the Song Dynasty, not horses, including horses, cattle, sheep, donkeys, mules and camels, which totaled 100,000, as well as some fur felt blankets.
I also heard of them in exchange for silk cloth from the Song Dynasty, cotton cloth, and cotton cloth were also spread to the Khitan. Zheng Lang thought it was expensive, but it was definitely not as expensive as fur. Who made the Song Dynasty not produce this thing?
In addition to silk cotton, there are also some copper coins, silver and porcelain for the flow of money.
Pang Ji and the bigwigs of the two governments, including other ministers, did not object to this. The Song Dynasty still had a crisis in food. The population was too large. It was a strategy to explore the south, and it was also a strategy to tap the potential within. After Zheng Lang repeatedly brainwashed, he knew the importance of livestock. Soon the south needed a large number of livestock. Some measures were also introduced to allow the states to take charge of breeding and improve the quality of seeds. However, the Khitans asked for the price too expensive. They simply regarded the Song Dynasty as Kaizi, slaughtering 100,000 livestock, plus some fur and felt supplies, and what they wanted was nearly one million yuan of materials and cash. Pang Ji was considered a conservative in diplomacy. He did not dare to agree.
It was not worth it at all. A good scalper in the Song Dynasty was only four or five jin of coins, and the difference was only two or three jin of coins. A more expensive buffalo had a little more money, and a donkey was cheaper. As for horses, it goes without saying that they would not give good horses. How much can these bad horses be worth as a farmland livestock? There are more sheep.
Not to mention 100,000 heads, 200,000 heads are not worth it.
Xiao Liangde said one thing: Once, the Song Dynasty bought livestock from Xixia people at a high price. If the price was at this price, the price of the Khitan was quite reasonable. Pang Ji almost rolled his eyes. He knew best about this, but it was a change of direction to support the Xixia people. You should go to war with the Khitan. The Song Dynasty will strongly support your economy later. This is an exception, not an ordinary case. In fact, at this time, the private salt channels were closed to each other. Livestock were still purchasing in large quantities, but the prices returned to a reasonable price.
So he replied: "The noble envoy was farming in Sanbaiqu at that time, and there was no livestock. Then Sanbaiqu livestock was no longer nervous and immediately stopped such high prices."
Use this excuse.
The Khitans also knew that the Song Dynasty did not have much kindness. It was normal, and it was much better than the war between Song and Xia, and the Khitan directly extorted. So the two sides stalemate.
Seeing this strange weather, the four messengers flattered. I thought Zhao Zhen was in a good mood and agreed to this big order. If the two sides could make an agreement, it would be the largest transaction in the history of the Song and Liao countries. Of course, in addition to capital, the Khitan would also make a large difference. The economic pressure would ease. They thought Zhao Zhen too mentally. Zhao Zhen had known about this for a long time and had instructed that he could comfort a slightly higher price, but not too much.
No matter how loud the Khitan envoy flattered, Zhao Zhen remained indifferent.
But Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of something. The attitude of the Khitan envoys in the past was that they had always been arrogant and arrogant, and now they became so humble. Why? Thinking of this, he raised his wine glass, greeted the south from afar, and said in his heart: "Zheng Qing, are you more than my Zhuge Wang Meng?"
Everyone saw Zhao Zhen's action and looked at the south together. The sky outside the hall was blue. There was an arrow cloud in the south, white and flawless, like a mountain and a knife, standing in the blue sky.
...
But this knife and this sword are not Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang's trip is mainly just one word, and it is a rule.
The sword and the sword are another person, Di Qing.
Di Qing came to Pennsylvania and made Yu Jing speechless. Brother, if I don’t provoke you, don’t provoke me, don’t provoke me. I don’t believe Yu Jing anymore, so I only negotiated with Sun Mian.
The emperor wants to fight quickly, and Zheng Lang wants to fight quickly. Li Dezheng shouted in the south, "I will support your 50,000 army. God knows whether he is here to support or make trouble?" He must fight quickly.
Sun Mian said: "If the thief takes them to protect them, bring the plundered food, grass, money, silk, weapons, helmets and other materials back to the nest, and rely on the complex terrain of Guangyuan and Qiyuan to resist it, this is called the best plan, our army must be slow and not anxious. If the thief relies on Yongzhou to reject our army, it is called the plan. After all, the thief is cruel and unkind to the people, and the people of Yongzhou hate it. If we can cooperate with our army, we can lead the army to fight under the city. If the thief thinks that I
The army can win easily like Chen Shu, despise our army, and take victory out. This is the only plan, and can be captured in one battle. A few days ago, I received an order from Zheng Xingzhi to arrest 10,000 soldiers from the sea to Daqinzhou, and did not participate in this battle. I wrote a letter to ask the whole story. Zheng Xingzhi said that General Di and you and 5,000 cavalry, plus the troops of Pennsylvania are enough. I think Zheng Xingzhi has most of the intentions, so that the thieves will continue to despise our army."
I guessed it right.
After all, Sun Mian spent some time in the northwest and was more proficient in military affairs than Yu Jing.
Di Qing's eyes lit up.
Sun Mian's words surprised him. Among the literati, he only admired two people, one was Zheng Lang and the other was Fan Zhongyan. He was good at moral integrity, capable, and... warmed people's hearts.
Other literati couldn't stand him, and he couldn't stand other literati. There was no way, and he was not as good as others in his pen, so he had to be restrained by others. He called Sun Mian to come to discuss, just to show respect, but he didn't expect that Sun Mian actually offered a good plan.
Di Qing asked: "What are the specific solutions?"
Sun Mian said: "General Di, since Zheng Xingzhi has given you full authority to command, why should I ask me?"
It would be good if I could come up with this one. Di Qing frowned and thought hard. This push really pushed the entire plan to himself, so he had to be careful. That night, the oil lamp of the Central Army tent lit up all night, and Di Qing and Sun Mian repeatedly pondered it, mainly because Di Qing thought about it and Sun Mian added.
Yu Jing was not asleep either. He came out several times and looked at the oil lamp, and felt mixed feelings.
It was getting brighter, and Sun Mian rubbed his eyes. After a night of hard work, Di Qing was full of energy and couldn't bear it. He said, "General Di, come and command."
Di Qing did not refuse and summoned the generals together to do the first thing, kill people! (To be continued!!!
