Nine hundred and twenty-six chapters snow (finale two)

Wang Wenyu's shouting may not work, that's for the future. Liang personally rode on the horse and shouted: "Chong.[This article comes from]"

After breaking through this line of defense, not far behind is the sphere of influence of the Khitan's sect. The Song army had the courage to continue chasing, but had to pay a heavy price for chasing. Will the Khitan silently regard the Song Dynasty as engulfing the Western Xia? Then this chasing will give the Khitans the best reason.

The bloody battle between the two sides began again.

The cold wind is like a knife, and the wind and sand blowing blows on the face, like sharp cones piercing the cheeks.

But King Li Zhe three troops had the upper hand, and the battle was beneficial to the Song army at this time, and the troops were several times better than the other side.

During the chaos, the Liang family was dismembered by several Song Dynasty soldiers. Then, when the remaining soldiers saw that the Liang family died, most of them put down their weapons and surrendered. Only a few hundred people escaped under the cover of wind and sand. Wang Wenyu and Wang Shao walked to Li Bingchang and said, "See the king."

Before leaving, Zheng Lang repeatedly told Zhao Xu about the reasons why Li Jiqian was able to successfully rebel, which was a very fair statement.

In the early Song Dynasty, Song Taizu used Xiazhou Dangxiang to restrain the Northern Han Dynasty and was busy unifying the Central Plains. In fact, Li Yixing and Li Kerui and his son did cooperate with the Song Dynasty and launched attacks on the Northern Han Dynasty many times, restraining the Northern Han troops, and making considerable contributions to the Song Dynasty's unification of the Central Plains. But it cannot be said that Song Taizong did something wrong. From the perspective of the country's great cause, centralization cannot be used to survive in the northwest. But from the standpoint of the Xixia people, their psychology is different.

So later stories happened. Li Kerui died, his son Li Jiyun was established, and Li Jiyun died. His son was unable to succeed the throne at a young age, so his younger brother Li Jipang's attack on his post. Li Jipang's uncle Li Kewen wrote a letter, believing that Jipang was not supposed to be attacked. He was afraid that there would be a change and suggested that the Song Dynasty summon him to the court, intending to use the Song Dynasty to remove Li Jipang's position as governor. This move hit Song Taizong's thoughts, sent an official Yin Xian to the magistrate of the prefecture, and sent an envoy to the court. Li Jipang's internal and external affairs were in trouble, and was forced to enter the capital and offered Xia Sui Yin Jing.

From the standpoint of the Dangxiang people, he was selling land for honor. And Li Jipang was unwilling to do so. Therefore, when Li Jibang rebelled, Emperor Taizong of Song used Zhao Pu's plan to re-appoint Li Jipang as the governor of Dingnan and gave him the name Zhao Baozhong. However, Li Jipang communicated with his brother Li Jiqian privately. In addition, the salt administration of the Song Dynasty led to dissatisfaction among all tribes. Li Jiqian finally became a prairie fire. Although Emperor Taizong of Song dismissed Li Jipang from office, granted him a crime, and gave him the title of the capital, Li Jiqian was too big to lose his head.

Emperor Taizong of Song was right in general, but when implementing it, the details were not done well.

The most important reason. He and Zhao Pu neglected an important point, that is, cohesion. The Song Dynasty generals Li Yu, Meng Chang, Liu Yu, Qian Hongchu, Wang Yanzheng, and Gao Jichong were brought to the capital of the Song Dynasty. That was because most of the people of the countries under their rule were Han people. They recognized the unification.

However, most of the five prefectures in the Western Xia Dynasty were Dangxiang people, and the remaining part was Qiang people, Tubo people, Tuyuhun people and a small number of Han people. The proportion of Han people was not large. And they were in the border for a long time, even though they were Han people, they also became Qiang people. The cohesion was not high, and coupled with the contradictions brought about by the salt administration, this gave Li Jiqian the capital to succeed.

Therefore, Zheng Lang advised against the previous rules and did not bring Li Bingchang to the capital, but continued to place him in Xingqing Prefecture and continued to give him the post of the ruler of the country.

Even if the people know that he is just a puppet, they will play a role in appeaseing the people's hearts. Then, only when ethnic policies are properly governed, the people will gradually turn their hearts to the Song Dynasty. At that time, whether Li Bingchang is in Xixia or not, it doesn't matter. As long as he doesn't die in no way, he will treat him well, even if there are some evil people, they will not be able to gather people to cause trouble.

Zhao Xu praised it.

This is the benefit of the political affairs of the Song Dynasty, and he is not afraid of speaking. In history, Gao Taotao even silently regarded Sima Guang and others to discredit his son, and Song Zhezong almost recognized Zhang Dun as a whole and splashed ink on Gao Taotao.

The three left some of the troops to clean the battlefield and escorted Li Bingchang back to Xingqing Mansion in a mighty manner. However, the place where the light was not a escort, but like the stars holding the moon, they even gave luxury cars, umbrellas, flags, gold festivals, cloaks, axes, stars, melons, standing melons, etc., which were not ceremonial guards for the emperor to travel, but also came according to the ceremonial guards of ancient princes and kings.

The large group of people arrived at Xingqing Mansion. Zheng Lang welcomed him from afar and walked out of the city gate with courtesy, calling himself an old minister, not an old man, or a certain person.

Many people in the city saw Li Bingchang coming back, and they burst into tears. After all, after so many years of rule, the worst was Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao. They gave Li Yuanhao the idea of ​​ascending the throne as emperor, and the people of Xixia also had orthodox status.

And this orthodox just gave Zheng Lang a headache.

Then he found the bodies of Empress Liang and Empress Liang. No matter what they did, Zheng Lang gave him a generous gift to buried him.

There are many things.

As the various Western Xia armies were disbanded, most of the Song army returned to various places, but many people had to be left behind. On the other hand, the war continued. Zhang Feng led his men to the east, seized Mudu Mountain, and crossed the Yellow River, and headed south. When Brother Yelu Yan heard that the Song Dynasty captured Xingqing Prefecture, another army was forcing him to frighten, so he quickly brought the three armies back to the Jin Su army. However, there were still some rebel forces in various places, but the general situation was hopeless. In addition, the cold winter was cold and lacked food and clothing, and the momentum of resistance became weaker and weaker. On New Year's Day, there were only a few scattered places left, which was not enough to harm.

At the same time, we must divide each channel.

During the victory, some ministers were ecstatic and mentioned Longyou Road again, but Zheng Lang still disagreed. The Longyou Road of the Tang Dynasty included Qin, He, Wei, Shan, Lan, Lin, Jie, Tao, Min, Kuo, Died, Dang, Liang, Sha, Gua, Gan, Su, Yi, Xi, Ting, and Anxi Protectorate. Now, except for the Western Regions, the rest have been taken down together.

This is also an important symbol of the martial arts of the Tang Dynasty.

It is also possible to rename it as Longyou Road, but it will make the Uighurs on the west side of Shagua worry. The Uighurs gradually declined, and there is no need to get into evil with them. Even if the Song Dynasty recovered the Western Xia, the focus was not on Dali, Jiaozhi, Western Regions, and the Khitan in the north, and the Jurchens in the future.

So it was still named Hehuang Road, and Xixia was changed to Lingxia Road, and the Lingzhou, Xingqing Prefecture, Huizhou, Weizhou, Yanzhou, Youzhou, Hongzhou, Xiazhou and Yinzhou were retained. The original Shizhou, Jingzhou, and Shunzhou were all abolished and the state was changed into county. Fengzhou, the west of the Prefecture, was retracted back to Beihetao in the Tang Dynasty, and a prefecture city was established in Beihetao, and named Fengzhou. Furthermore, the two prefectures and Yanzhou and Baoan Army were designated as Lingxia Road. This was the link of the Central Plains dynasty, and it was the same as Qinzhou as Hehuang Road. Then Huaiyuan Army was set up in Wuyanhai.

In this way, the new Lingxia Road covers the twelve prefectures, one prefecture and two armies.

What should be suppressed should be suppressed, what should be won should be won, and the system of famine will be re-arranged.

The throne was given the right to wait for discussion and refute, but like Tubo, the magistrates of the prefectures and prefectures were all court officials taking turns to serve.

This alone has a lot of affairs.

He achieved success. Wang Shao and Guo Kui were transferred back to the Western Prefecture as Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor, which was actually a good rest.

But the most headache is one word, money.

Until now, the number of soldiers and civilians who died one after another has reached 90,000. No matter what the injured are, they are still injured.

These martyrs all need money to pay for their families.

This is for the dead, and living people will be rewarded even if they have merits. These two items alone require a lot of money.

It is not a place where money is used. Xixia has recovered it, and there is a major border trouble. However, the northern part of Xixia is also facing the possibility of Khitan invasion. At the same time, there will be rebellions in the country in the future. This requires a large number of troops to be stationed, without Xixia. Shaanxi also needs to station a large number of troops, but transporting materials to the Shaanxi front line and to the Helan Mountains and Juyanhai are two different things, and the latter cost is several times higher!

In the future, this kind of supply will definitely not be possible. We can encourage self-cultivation in the local area. However, the Western Xia is clear and unreal, and it must be transported from the country. There are also people in the Western Xia territory, hundreds of thousands of households and millions of people. Except for the suppressed group, the rest must be raised.

The war is over and there are cheers in the country.

However, the treasury was empty, and taxes in all aspects had to begin to increase again, and people in many areas gradually became in trouble.

In order to save costs, some of the Dangxiang people who moved to Chang'an to eat were moved eastward and moved to Shanzhou to eat on the east side of Sanmen and to eat on the west side of Sanmen. The cost was reduced by half!

No one said anything. The difficulty is that there is no harm from the Western Xia, which will be very beneficial to the Song Dynasty in the long run.

...

The first day of the first lunar month.

Li Bingchang was still the lord of Xixia. It turned out to be the emperor, but this emperor has never been recognized by the Song and Liao dynasties. From the original relationship, Li Bingchang was the lord of the country, now he is the lord of the country, and his status has not changed. He continues to stay in the Xixia Palace. There are many eunuchs and maids in the palace, but the number of guards has decreased. This is a must-do, otherwise there may be a bad story.

And there are ministers.

Some of the Liang clan members, some who had a disgust towards the Song Dynasty, and some traitors who surrendered to the Western Xia, were all executed for the crime of rebellion. There were many ministers and nobles, some of whom were involved in the Song Dynasty's Fanhou plan, and some were recruited as deputy officials of various prefectures and counties, but a few were still loyal to Li Bingchang.

Zheng Lang still retained their original official positions, but only the official positions that were taboo to the system were abolished one by one. These people came to the palace to worship Li Bingchang every now and then, but it was just a matter of closing the door. They had no right outside.

And Zheng Lang is gradually deliberately suppressing it.

However, Zheng Lang did not use rude means to these people. This further calmed people's hearts. In fact, it was not only to successfully incorporate the Western Xia into the Song Dynasty system, but also to explore the future experience of governing the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Lang, as the Lingxia Road appeasement envoy, also came to pay homage to Li Bingchang. At least in name Li Bingchang was the king of the country and the governor of Hexi, and his nominal status was slightly higher than that of Dong Wen. However, before, Li Bingchang had to pay homage to the envoy of the Song Dynasty. The envoy was Su Dongpo.

Everyone talks about their own things, this is just a way to reduce the complaints of the people in the Western Xia, so don’t take it seriously.

Then he had a banquet at the Xixia Palace and followed Su Dongpo to his new house in Xingqing Mansion with Zheng Lang.

In a relatively simple courtyard, Su Dongpo said a few words to Zheng Lang and took out Zhang Fangping's letter.

The staff of the two prefectures changed again. Xue Xiang died of illness. Zhang Yu and Zeng Xiaokuan asked Yanchen to impeach him because of insufficient talents and left the two prefectures one after another. Cai Que and Zheng Lang's fellow villager Sun Gu and Li Qingchen took office one after another. Lu Gongbi was under the jurisdiction of Lu Gong. Some people had weak talents, such as Sun Gu, and others had low qualifications, such as Zhang Shangying.

Last year, there was a great battle in the front, and the rear was under great pressure, so Zhang Dun was transferred back to the Western Prefecture to serve as Privy Councilor.

The letter was written by Zhang Dun.

The first thing is that the country's financial pressure is tight. When the New Year is over, the court will get a income, that is, the dividends from Ping An Supervision Bureau. However, there are more places to use money. During the Chinese New Year, all relatives, royal officials and soldiers of the royal family have to be rewarded, and there are various activities. No matter what, this is a rare victory in the Song Dynasty, and you cannot have a shabby New Year.

These use a lot of money.

In addition, the northwest will continue to allocate a large amount of money and materials.

When talking to Zheng Lang, Zhang Dun was not very polite. He said directly that Qian Bo was too nervous and could not force him anymore. If he forced him again, he might be able to rebel and rebel everywhere.

This is easy to deal with. Zheng Lang plans to fade out of politics. He doesn’t ask too much about the court. Zhang Dun said that he can also take care of it. The money is tight and he can’t force it from the people, but he can continue to borrow some money from the bank to turn around. If it’s a little worse, it’s not better than owing more than 300 million.

He cares about the second thing.

In recent years, Ping Anjian imported timber from Japan. If the Song Dynasty had to use a lot of wood in a year, just making ink, it would almost cut off all the pine trees in North China within a few decades. What an amazing impact would this amount of wood be placed in Japan.

The purchases were made on a large scale, bringing amazing wealth to Japan. Many nobles became richer and more rich, and even bought luxurious ships from the Song Dynasty merchants to travel to the Song Dynasty. Maybe some women were mixed in these ships and borrowed some plants back.

The Song Dynasty did not ask about this.

It has not been taken seriously by Goryeo yet, after all, Goryeo can restrain the role of Khitan.

This is the rich side.

But the result of the large-scale deforestation is that many areas have turned into barren mountains and wilderness. Originally, the water and soil in Japan were very weak. Later generations, their forests accounted for 70% of the country's area. They also had to import timber instead of cutting them from the country. They were forced to cut the soil and soil in that area, and they could not cut them down. Once they were cut, they could finish it.

But now the Japanese royal family has weak control, and the Song Dynasty did not use forced means to buy it. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Who cares?

This led to a result. Many valleys experienced mountain floods, increased mudslides, and they could not live in farming. A large number of people fled, and a few fled to the sea, some did business, some fished, and some started thieves.

It turned out that the disaster was the surrounding areas of Japan. As the scope of activities expanded, it gradually extended to the areas of Ryukyu and Zhoushan Islands.

The disaster was not great, only a few dozen ships floated over. But gradually there was a tendency to spread, and although Zhang Dun was from Fujian, he didn't know much about the matter at sea.
