It's too tense, so be presumptuous.

======================

Under the blue sky is ochre yellow land, the south wind blows constantly, and dust rises, allowing the heaven and earth to change from time to time between chaos and blue and yellow. If it weren't for some greenness that could be seen between the rivers and canals, it would be as if the end of the world was coming.

"Duke Zheng, that Zheng Xia has passed," Li Shunju said.

It is difficult to see that the capital is covered with rivers and canals. Only after going west can we know how serious the drought is. There are no thieves (peasant uprisings) in such a major disaster, nor do we hear that many people are starving to death. It is so difficult.

Fan Chunren rode on the horse without saying a word. Since Zheng Lang entered the country's center for the second time and launched reforms, it has caused a lot of controversy. Some Fan Chunren agreed, while others did not agree.

No matter what, it depends on the result in the end.

This is the result!

He thought seriously on the horse's back.

Zheng Lang looked at him and smiled slightly. Before leaving, he made some excessive demands to Zhao Xu, which could not be considered a requirement. They were some policy issues in the West and the choice of some officials.

He brought two people over, one was the eunuch Li Shunju, whom Zhao Shu once admired.

Supervisor!

Li Xian was the general of Wang Shao's army, and he came to the supervisor of Zheng Lang and Zhang Feng's army.

Moreover, this person was quite admired by Gao Taotao, and Zheng Lang brought him to the northwest as the second royal eye of this military operation.

Be careful to sail the ship for thousands of years!

It has nothing to do with being timid and afraid of things.

The second person is Fan Chunren. Once he takes over Huangzhou, it will not belong to the sixth border of Shaanxi. It is too far from Chang'an City to Huangzhou, and it is a military strait, so it must make timely decisions. Therefore, it is necessary to open another route. A real route that is not under the jurisdiction of Shaanxi route.

It is just to pacify Hehuang. To pacify and govern, we will continue to use small-scale troops, and we must set up a position of pacifying and recruiting envoys. It is just a pacifying envoy or a strategic envoy. Wang Shao doesn't care, but he takes the new road to pacifying and recruiting envoys and borrows the great victory of Hehuang, which may harm Wang Shao.

Zheng Lang directly threw out this question at the capital meeting. After the Hehuang Battle, Wang Shao could not stay in the new way. Why? Because the family rules of the ancestors misunderstood the scholars and officials. The border generals cannot fail, they can make contributions, and they cannot make great contributions, otherwise they will hide it and use it, which is a crime. Wang Shao will definitely become the second Di Qing.

Zheng Lang was not targeting that person, this group was very large. Sima Guang and Fan Chunren were inevitably vulgar.

But Hehuang is very complicated. If you don’t get familiar with it in advance and you cannot take over the situation immediately, there will be big problems.

This familiarity includes folk customs, the distribution of tribes in various places, the familiarity of soldiers, understanding of terrain, etc.

So the court agreed to Zheng Lang's request to let Fan Chunren be the governor of Qinzhou and Zhang Shangying take over Fan Chunren's duties.

There is definitely no problem with Fan Chunren taking over, but there are actually a few more meanings, but few people know. Zhao Xu asked Zheng Lang who could serve as prime minister. Zheng Lang talked about a few people, but these people seemed to be about the same age as Zheng Lang and must have successors, while Zhang Shangying was only 31 years old.

Zhang Shangying took over the position of the Supervisory Office, which was very meaningful to increase observation.

Fan Chunren also has other meanings on the west side. Fan Zhongyan has received great praise in the northwest. Fan Chunyou died of exhaustion in the northwest. In addition, Fan Chunren's own identity is in line with what Zheng Lang said.

It is difficult to occupy Hehuang, and it is even more difficult to manage stability.

Others may not be relieved to go to Zheng Lang.

Of course, the first prerequisite is to defeat Dong Wen. If it fails, the problem will be very serious...

The wind became heavier and heavier, and the sky and the earth were covered with a layer of gray fog, and the five fingers were almost impossible to see on the opposite side.

Fan Chunren finally spoke: "Duke Zheng, if the drought does not stop, a crisis will occur."

"Father Yao, what do you mean?"

"Food, I have thought in the Supervision Department that although the imperial court has stored a large amount of food, if the drought continues until after next autumn, the price of food..."

"What will happen to the price of grain?" Li Shunju asked from the side.

"The area of ​​drought is too large. The imperial court has stored a lot of grain, so merchants dare not hoard too much. If the drought continues next year and the imperial court stores less grain, those merchants will inevitably hoard goods and rush to raise the price of grain. Once the grain price is high, more people will join the ranks of refugees and rely on the imperial court to support their livelihoods, and the consumption of grain storage will accelerate."

Fan Chunren didn't say anything further.

This is also the reason why some people oppose the use of troops in Hehuang. If the army is not used, the court can allocate more funds to prepare grain. Once the army is used, the court will be in short supply of money and cannot prepare grain on a large scale. It doesn’t matter if the drought will end next spring, but who can guess this natural disaster accurately?

It is logically impossible to continue until next year. What if it happens, if there is a severe drought in three or four years, the problem will be big.

"No..." Zheng Lang said.

The drought continued until after next autumn. However, although the drought will exist next year, it has eased. The Song Dynasty in history has survived the crisis. Now I have prepared more than 100 million stones of grain storage, can't I survive it?

The wind stopped, the fog dissolved slightly, and a tall shadow of the tower emerged from the gray fog.

Zheng Su rode back from the front and reported: "Mr. Zheng, Jingzhao Mansion has arrived."

“Prepare to camp.”

"Here."

Three thousand soldiers began to dismount and set up camp.

Zheng Lang was not as strict as Yue Fei's command of the army, but his military discipline was also very strict. The most rejection was to disturb the people. He went west quickly and never entered the city to set up camp.

After a while, the military camp was about to be built, and the group walked out of Chang'an City.

When he heard that Zheng Lang was coming, Lu Gong and his officials from all over the world came out to pay their respects.

After a few words, Mr. Lu said, "Mr. Zheng and Mu Zheng have also arrived in Chang'an City."

Mu Zheng did not ban it, but it was banished. He was very reluctant and procrastinated. He did not arrive in Chang'an City until today.

"Take me to see."

"good."

When he arrived in the city, Mu Zheng was resting. When he heard that Zheng Lang was coming, he did not dare to neglect and got up to greet him.

"No need to be polite, go in."

The guest and host took a seat, Mu Zheng asked resentfully: "Mr. Zheng is famous all over the world, I don't understand. Mu Zheng is innocent. Why did China attack me?"

This problem is not only entangled by later generations. It is also entangled at this time. The grievances between the two countries are really difficult to explain clearly, but the essence is very simple. If the Song Dynasty declines and Tubo is still strong, it will definitely expand its sphere of influence eastward, and the story of the late Tang Dynasty will be staged again. If the Song Dynasty restores the powerful force of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it will not only be the military generals. The scholars and officials will also become more and more radical, not only Hehuang, but Xixia and Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and even going north to Liaodong and south to Jiaozhi of Dali, it may also be staged.

This is hard to say.

Zheng Lang said: "Mu Zheng, your father has a tacit relationship with me. He has also learned from you and turned to Xixia. However, when the imperial court was in charge of Wuchuan, your father immediately surrendered to the court. However, when our army recruited Wusheng Army City, you repeatedly sent troops to block the enemy and continued to collude with Xixia? You didn't know how to be together!"

Mu Zheng also has a purpose, but Zheng Lang did not appease him. On the contrary, he was harsh in his voice. If he was appeased, he would not know how many ministers would appease him in the court. There was no need for that.

Mu Zheng was speechless. It was true that Mu Zheng was a little unaware of it. To be precise, the surrounding area of ​​Wusheng Army City belonged to the sphere of influence of Yu Longke's brothers, but Yu Longke turned to the Song Dynasty and the blind medicine turned to Mu Zheng, but at least it was not Mu Zheng's direct jurisdiction.

There are reasons to send troops.

"Your father's identity is more noble than you. Before, we turned to Xixia, our dynasty did not send envoys to us. But some marginal generals sent some generals to contact your father. Although they did not submit to our dynasty, your father has always been very polite to those generals and schools. But what about you? Your Majesty personally sent envoys to appease you, and your attitude is even more arrogant than your grandfather. The envoys of the king represent a country, do not respect the envoys and do not have the power to protect themselves. When will you not destroy you?"

If you want to be arrogant, at least you must have the power of the Khitan. Xixia cannot do it. It is not that it is immortal, but the time has not come.

"You can understand that you are going toward Xixia. You are still understanding that you are living in the cracks. But you must have the ability of your father to defend your foundation in the cracks. In order to support you to defend this foundation, although our dynasty has not sent soldiers, and also sent a large amount of money, silk and weapons to support it, you did not defend it. First, he lost Agan City and Kangu, and then Xizun City. That's fine. Under your command of Xixia, the foreigners west of Qinzhou have repeatedly invaded Qinzhou's territory, intending to cooperate with Xixia to spread the power southward. You can say that you use Xixia as your barrier, but once the ancient Weicheng is broken, there will be a large number of Qiang people to the south. If Xixia gets those Qiang people, my northwest foundation will shake the whole thing. You want to shake the foundation of our dynasty. When will you not destroy it?"

The last reason has not been mentioned even Wang Shao’s ping Rong Ce.

Most of the southern part of Xizhou was the residence of the Qiang people. In the past, when they were in the hands of Ye Siluo, they had no real rule with the Song Dynasty, so that they could form a buffer zone. But would the Xixia do this? Moreover, the Qiang people are different from the Tubo people, especially the large area of ​​Qiang people from the Minjie to the west of Jiuzhaigou. They have a blood relationship with Dangxiang. Once the power of the Xixia people expands here, they will quickly organize an army.

The Qiang people were called two-sided Qiang in the Tang Dynasty, but their individual combat capabilities were not weaker than those of the Tubo people.

It’s just that they don’t have a powerful king leader, so they seem weak.

These three reasons are enough.

Zheng Lang said again: "Don't ask why the court sent troops. You should reflect on yourself first, but our dynasty is still very generous. Your Majesty announced that you did not want to detain you, but to talk to you, not for you, but for the future of the millions of Hexi people."

This is the truth.

Hearing this sentence, the eyes of the guards beside Mu Zheng were moved.

Zheng Lang said again: "Also, don't be delayed on the road, go and return quickly. Two months later, there will be a conference in Gu Weicheng, which will decide 108 Fanhous. If you continue to delay time on the road, when you come back, you will completely lose your position in Hezhou!"

ps: It turns out that there are three volumes behind Xiao Chongshan. They are written too long and want to compress them into one volume. Many plots are transitioned in a long way, and they want to think about the outline of the new book, and then they try hard to get stuck... Some readers have no responses, which is why the transition is too fast. My head hurts, not because I am tired of typing, but because I am tired of thinking and having a split headache. So I took a few days of voluntary care and relaxed completely. From today on, I will keep a chapter of typing, no matter how long it is. I will pass on a small update today and will officially resume updates tomorrow. Finally, I say sorry to all the readers who support me. If I forgive me, I will say that Lao Wu will have a few days off.
Chapter completed!
