Zhang Kang was also suspicious and looked up at Zheng Lang. Zheng Lang said slowly: "By next spring, the development of Guangdong and Guangxi will be over. The rest will be left to local officials for governance. The population will increase and the people will be willing to do so. Your Majesty trusts me and will also have some advice on impeachment. It is better for me to ask them to impeach them, so I would take the initiative to ask to leave Guangdong and Guangxi and go to Liangjing. However, Jiaozhi was always restless. I was worried that after I left, there would be no effective officials to preside over the presidency. In a hurry, Jiaozhi invaded with a country's troops. Guangdong and Guangxi suffered heavy losses. The people were afraid and fled one after another. Then the efforts of the past two years, tens of millions of money and silk were spent in vain."

Don’t think that this country is small, profitable and ambitious, and its ambitions are incredible.

Twenty years ago, Chen Mingzong once led his army to attack Qianzhou. The Qinghua Transportation Envoy Ruan Zhongyan, who was accompanying him, carved a monument at Moya in Yi'an, saying that he was ordered by heaven, and was in Zhongxia, and was not surrendered at home and abroad. However, in the face of these words, no one of the ministers of the Song Dynasty saw it.

And the means were tyrannical. Ten years ago, Li Dezheng personally marched to the south, occupied the city, beheaded 30,000 corpses, and accumulated the fields. But it was not the most sinful, and the crime was committed against the people of the Song Dynasty. Twenty-six years ago, the people of Li Gongyun's invasion, of course, did not say that the emperor personally marched, but said that the barbarians invaded, beheaded and massacred nearly 100,000 soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. Several other invasions also caused heavy casualties and injuries to the people in the northern border of the Song Dynasty, and repeatedly plundered border residents and transported them to Vietnam as slaves.

It is not the most vicious. If there is no prevention, twenty years later, Jiaozhi will ask Li Changjie to lead an army of 200,000 to invade Guangdong and Guangxi, and massacre the people of several states across the city. There is no one million corpses in history, but the people slaughtered by Jiaozhi will reach hundreds of thousands.

After the Song Dynasty, the country was still restless and invaded China many times. Emperor Zhu Di could no longer bear it and directly destroyed the country of Jiaozhi. However, because of the climate of tropical rainforests and the rampant malaria, the Ming Dynasty retreated its troops back.

But this country has never been honest.

If you are not prepared and let Jiaozhi fight to Guangdong and Guangxi, it will be an extremely tragedy.

It cannot be said that this country is small. After all, it is a country and may not be able to dispatch 200,000 troops, but it is still possible to send an army of 100,000 to 80,000 troops. Once you leave, with the troops of Guangdong and Guangxi, coupled with the fact that there is no leader in the group, Jiaozhi will inevitably drive straight in.

Therefore, Zheng Lang planned to tempt Jiaozhi to start a war, but the rhythm must be controlled in his own hands.

Zhang Kang thought for a while and said, "Let me try it."

Zhang Kang presided over the reception matter and intended to let Chen Min and Wu Er watch the Song army. Zheng Lang wanted to delay time and not let Jiaozhi have an attack this year. To make these two people feel worried and further planning, then this year will be delayed.

Then he truthfully answered some water conservancy plans in Guangdong and Guangxi, making them more worried and inspiring Jiaozhi to send troops.

Finally, when it comes to territory, Chen Min follows the territory divided by Nong Zhigao and Jiaozhi as a line, namely Pengjiang (upper reaches of Zuojiang), Mafushan to Kachonrojdong. The north is the territory of the Song Dynasty and the south is the territory of Jiaozhi. According to the later territory, including Xipingzhou, Lushan and Guangyuanzhou, most of the areas in Vietnam belong to the Song Dynasty. But in that case, one-third of Guangyuanzhou and Qiyuanzhou and Menzhou were divided into Jiaozhi. It turned out that these three states were all restricted by the Song Dynasty.

Zheng Lang had no strong desire to expand territory and was not affected by the border line in later generations. In the Song Dynasty, the border line of the Song Dynasty was used as the standard Huai River. It was not from the Song Dynasty and did not want to expand. It was from the Song Dynasty and would not give up a single inch of land. Therefore, Zheng Lang could not agree to the condition of Jiaozhi.

Hearing Chen Min's request, Zhang Kang directly gave them the information he handed to him by Zheng Lang. After asking the two to see it, they blasted back to Jiaozhi.

Then he took his soldiers to the south bank of Yu Pengjiang to start training.

Do some provocative activities to let Jiaozhi's pro-war faction have the upper hand.

Whether it can be successful is unknown, and Zheng Lang has not reported it to the court.

The Western Xia sent envoys to ask for surrender to the Khitan, and this surrender was the same. The war was so strong that the Xixia national strength could not bear it. The Khitans were even more miserable, and the Xixia once took over the vast area of ​​Beizhubu. Although it took less than two years, the Khitans were recaptured again. The Xixia had a clan and face, and the brothers and sisters could explain to the people. Therefore, they sent people to surrender, and we will not fight and be your Khitan ministers and subordinates.

Liao Xingzong was furious and told the envoy that it was okay to surrender, and let the brothers and sisters of Wuzang come to our capital, and let the wild man Liangzuo arrive at the throne and support Ning Lingge as the king of Xixia.

That is impossible.

However, the Khitan's vitality was severely damaged and he was unable to fight against Xixia again, and the two countries were in a stalemate.

As a result, the border of the Song Dynasty was in a rare and precious peaceful time.

In the first year of Zhihe, there was no war in several countries, good weather and prosperity, and peace and prosperity.

But in May, a monster happened. The mother of the deputy commander of the Ma Jun, Zhang Maoshi, was once a nurse who mourned the prince (brother Zhao Zhen died at the age of nine). As Zhang Maoshi was young, Emperor Zhenzong of Song said to Zhang Jingzong: "This child looks thick, so you can take it."

However, when Zhang Maoshi was riding a horse in the capital in May, a Kaifeng people stopped his horse's head, saying that Zhang Mao was actually the son of Song Zhenzong. Zhang Maoshi was so scared that he trembled all over and caught him in Kaifeng Prefecture. After investigation, he found that this person was a crazy person. However, Zhao Zhen did not investigate it again. It was revealed that Zhang Maoshi was the governor of Luzhou, and this citizen was a prison city in Douzhou.

The stubbornness is very light, but this psychopath has aroused the nerves of many ministers, and they all thought of a problem. Zhao Zhen is in his forties and has no children. What will the empire do in the future?

But another one diverted the attention. First, the censor Wu Zhong impeached Liang Shi and evil again. Zhao Zhen asked: "There are also some bullets and spurs in the near future. It is said that the Tang Dynasty's family will be punished from Tianbao and then chaotic. Why is it?"

Wu Zhong replied: "The Ming Emperor appointed Yao Chong, Song Jing, and Zhang Jiuling as prime ministers, so he made peace in the country. When Li Linfu was in charge of the affairs, the rules and regulations were greatly damaged, and the governance of chaos began here. Although the power and blessings lie in the ruler, the key to the governance of chaos lies in the auxiliary ministers."

Zhao Zhen said a very vague sentence: "Every time I use ministers, I always accept public opinion, but I have not tried to know the length of a person."

Speaking of this, he thought of Liang Shi.

Why would it be reasonable to agree to Liang Shi as an official when he went out to be an upright gentleman, such as Fu Bi, Wang Yaochen and other ministers, to make a strong order? But is Liang Shi? Does Liang Shi have the qualification to say such righteous words?

When Liang Shi was in charge of Chuzhou, he met a Bai Mudan's head on the road. He invited him to have fun, but was rejected by his prostitute. So he forced him to come to the official house and detained the prostitute for several days. When he went to Bingzhou to work, he publicly took the prostitute all the way to take office. He also thought of several reports submitted by Chen Zhizhong, which was about Liang Shi doing everything in Hangzhou. In order to make money, Sun Mian worked in many places, and came to Hangzhou to discuss the business of Sha with a businessman named Xiao. The person surnamed Xiao did not know his identity. The price was unreasonable. Sun Mian held a grudge and checked the person's accounts and sent him to another state for tax evasion. All his property was confiscated.

He is so greedy for money and lustful.

I value Sun Mian himself, one is that Sun Mian has made contributions, and the other is that Sun Mian has talent, abandoning the small and taking the big.

He just won some nicknames for a dead beloved woman, but Sun Mian ignored his favor and even threw away the book of mourning, regardless of the thousands of ministers and relatives of the emperor. Who is the emperor? But Zhao Zhen was not happy with this report that Chen Zhizhong beaten.

Wu Zhongfu didn't understand. I wonder why Zhao Zhen said this. He thought Liang Shi was good and he had not seen Liang Shi's strengths. He still had to listen to public opinion and ask whether Liang Shi could serve as prime minister?

Go down in a daze.

But Wu Zhongfu's impeachment made Zhao Zhen begin to seriously think about the reason why Liang Shi came to power. After thinking for a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What a plan."

When Liang Shi came up with Liang Shi's magic, Liang Shi was sad.

Zhao Zhen began to silently impeach Liang Shi. Yanshen and the prime minister were always two opposing groups. Yanshen and the prime minister liked to cause trouble for the prime minister, and they had long been unable to see Liang Shi. Ma Zun and others began to impeach Liang Shi on a large scale, greedy and greedy basis, and to be loyal to their own children, so it is not appropriate to stay in the important position for a long time. Liang Shi has not yet been in a hot position, so the above letter begging Zhao Zhen to agree with Ma Zun to refute.

Ma Zun Shu said that the Guanglu Shaoqing Xiang Chuanshi and Zhang Ke, the commander of the Southern Transportation Transportation, had been abolished. Liang Shi ignored the poor morals of the two ministers and appointed him as the doctor of the left Cao. Guo Bing, a wealthy man, was a bad businessman at home. Liang Shi reported to the benevolent businessman. Zhang returned to Yizhou and bribed Liang Shi as the deputy envoy of the Third Department. Therefore, Wang Kui spoke sternly in Wenbei Palace and said in a cold face. How could he be sent to him!"

Wouldn't it be easy to find trouble?

Not to mention Liang Shi, even if Fan Zhongyan is the prime minister, you can find trouble for Fan Zhongyan. You are fine, your family is fine? Your clan members are fine? Your recommended person is fine? Your relatives and guests are fine?

Sun Yan, the chief censor, said again: "Liang Shi is the prime minister, and the superiors cannot balance the pros and constrain the children, and the subordinates cannot supervise the number of officials and the officials are talking about the number of reports. If they are not dismissed, they cannot comfort the Qing Dynasty."

Zhao Zhen "was not allowed himself" and dismissed him and went to Zhengzhou to governor, and appointed Cheng Kan as the governor of the government, enriching the East Prefecture.

But this matter was not over. Liang Shi had a good relationship with eunuchs such as Shi Quanbin. After hearing the words, the ministers said, and said, "The Censor often collects information to attack the prime minister. Who dares to take responsibility from now on?"

This is not a prime minister, but a young lady who is angry.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said nothing. It was not that Yanchen impeached him, but that he would not give Yanchen a chance to impeach him.

Liang Shi was dismissed from the prime minister, and the eunuchs were dissatisfied. They also learned to collect information from the ministers and quickly found a handle. Ma Zun's first report, Li Yuqing, the elder brother of the Salt and Iron Judge Fan Zhongyan, once recommended that the tea merchant Li Shi'an owed a deposit of 140,000 yuan, and according to the law, he would lose twice. Li Yuqing's decision was already very light. However, Li Shi'an and the servant Liu Zongmeng, the foreign man in the corps, were engaged in merchant dealers, and Zongmeng and Liang Shi were close together, so Liang Shi set up Li Yuqing to mention the Shaanxi criminal prison.

However, Li Shi'an and Liu Zongmeng have never been a vendor together, and they are not relatives of Liang Shi, and Ma Zun and other officials are slandering.

Zhao Zhen sent Kaifeng Prefecture to investigate the matter, and sure enough.

The imperial edict was issued to the imperial censor Ma Zun, the imperial edict of Xuanzhou, and the imperial edict of Lu Jingchu, and the imperial edict of Jiangning Mansion was waiting for the imperial edict of Wuzhong to be held in the palace.

Three generals under his command were suddenly overthrown, and Sun Yan became anxious and said, "I have discussed the prime minister Liang Shi yesterday, and today I have reported that Lu Jingchu will discuss and provoke the blame. I will look at the court's orders in detail. It must be that the traitors use clever words to move people's attention, so that the evil and righteousness will be reversed. Besides, the word "power and reward" is the power of the emperor. The ancient sages were particularly cautious. Now Liang relied on personal evil inside and rely on power outside, and the heavy and lightness of the superiors are all in his hands. The complaints are boiling in China and abroad, and Your Majesty will hide and not ask. I am afraid that in the future, the court's affairs will be handled by the ministers and the officials of the censors will be silent and afraid to speak. Your Majesty is in the ninth level, so how can you know it? I am the leader of Fengxian. I cannot warn the powerful ministers, indulge in private favors, and cannot prevent idle traitors, which will lead to confusion and misleading the saints. I have many crimes. I want to seize the titles of ministers and escape from the distance to thank the world."

Let me go out too.

He wanted to coerce Zhao Zhen to change the verdict, but he did not report it in the book.

Liang Shi also said: I went to the palace with Guo Shenxi and others to discuss the affairs of the court. Your Majesty is also tolerant and not guilty. Now I am talking about Liang Shi, and I have sent this sentence. It is obvious that the person who violated the emperor's face is too light, and the person who talked about the prime minister's affairs is too heavy. Now there are tens of thousands of miles of land, and the key to the governance of chaos and safety is only the ruler. Since there are any faults, the Taiwanese officials cannot speak, and the counselors cannot report. How is the court? I hope to pay attention to the great cause of our ancestors and pay attention to them. I have no power and rewards to them all. "

He was begging to call Ma Zun and others back, and Hu Su also wrote a letter, begging to stay Ma Zun and not report it.

It seems that a series of storms caused by the inverted beams are actually implicitly a very bad sign.

Before Concubine Zhang died, did there be any incident in which three ministers were spoken out in a row because of the eunuch?

With August, Guangxi development is about to begin, but Zheng Lang was a little dazed when he looked at the palace newspaper sent by the court. There is a big difference between a wise emperor and a gradually lost emperor.

After pondering for a long time, he changed his mind. He called Zhang Kang and said, "You have selected some clever spies from the army and sneaked into Jiaozhi and threatened that once the development of Guangdong and Guangxi can be successful, the number of households can be increased to more than one million households. 500,000 warriors can be drawn as soldiers. Once the development of Guangdong and Guangxi is successful, I will lead 500,000 soldiers to attack Jiaozhi."

Originally, he wanted the scouts of the special agent camp to complete this task, but Zheng Lang dared not. Everything the scouts of the special agent camp did was to cooperate with him and report it to the Privy Council and Zhao Zhen. Now the court is far from Pang Jishi, Zheng Lang is not very relieved about Chen Zhizhong.

Of course, this 500,000 is impossible. If that were the case, wouldn’t the Song Dynasty be able to draw 5 million soldiers? Besides, the more money, food, materials, weapons, and weapons, the greater the cost. Even if Guangdong and Guangxi successfully develop, one million households will not be as good as Jiangnan West Road. Don’t say that 500,000 soldiers will be unable to afford it.

But if not, Jiaozhi may not send troops to the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Heng asked worriedly: "Mr. Zheng, can you have any good solutions?"

Guangdong, Guangxi, including Zhang Ji, can only withdraw 20,000 to 30,000 troops in total, or local soldiers without combat effectiveness, but Jiaozhi may withdraw 100,000 troops. This battle will be very unfavorable.

Zheng Lang smiled and said, "Do you remember what Di Qing said before leaving, how did the Tang Dynasty destroy Goryeo?"

"Mr. Zheng, I know, but the Tang army has many soldiers and a wide range of generals, and it was successful after three attacks on Goryeo."

"General Di did not mean this. Think about it again. When the Tang army attacked Goryeo, we used the same means of transportation. This means of transportation was more developed in our dynasty. However, several battles were only used by Taizu, and other battles were not used..."

Not only was it not used, Guo Kui was a native of the North and did not use it when he was fighting for Jiaozhi.

"yes……"

"Zhou Anfu, just know. This matter should not be leaked to the outside world. If used well, a great achievement will be made next spring."

"Why should it be spring?"

"From the rumors spread to the rise, there must be a period of time. Autumn comes, the weather is high and the air is cool, and then winter comes. Although we are in charge of Guangxi's water conservancy, and there are many affairs, and it is easy to attack them. However, these civil servants are all on the construction site and can gather at any time. In winter, the miasma is not heavy, and the weather is only warm, which is beneficial to our army. Therefore, they will not send troops. To send troops, the people must be dispersed everywhere in the end of February, and the spring farming production is formally produced, which is not easy to gather. However, many tribes in Jiaozhi are still slash-and-burn farming, with little impact. The miasma is rising and the weather is getting hotter, so it is beneficial to them."

"Wouldn't that be wrong?"

"It is because they are not good to us that they take it lightly."

"What if they aren't fooled?"

"Di Qing left, they were not worried. If they did not attack in spring and summer, they would gradually gain food in June and July, and the people would be at peace and the people would like to be willing to do so. At that time, the people would want to defend a beautiful home and rush to the next step. It would become difficult for them to send troops. Once they stalemate, we will go south to the army, and they will not be afraid? Therefore, at the turn of spring and summer, we will inevitably send troops, advance in one battle, and after some destruction, we will retreat calmly back to Jiaozhi. With the hot flashes of the country's terrain, our army would not adapt and defend calmly." Don't say that it is impossible, Jiaozhi invaded several times, but he has never considered the difference in national strength between the two countries. He is very brave.

Actually, Zheng Lang didn't want to do it either. It would be better if he didn't fight. There were many things in the first place. Once the construction of Guangnan West Road started, the foundation would be weaker than that of Guangnan East Road, and the proportion of Han people was small. I don't know how many things happened. In addition, he would have to fight Jiaozhi again, so he would have a headache at that time.

However, Jiaozhi is ambitious and must fight this battle.
