When he went north to Yunshuo to fight, the commander of the Song army was Zhang Xiaochun, but he was a civil servant and was in charge of military and civilian affairs on the Hedong Road. It was obviously unrealistic to lead the army to fight. According to convention, the army to fight was led by the deputy general manager of the army.
According to the Song system, Hedong, Hebei and Shaanxi, the positions were in Suiyu Rongyi. The general ministers were generally the governor of the ruler and the chief general, and they were in charge of the military. Therefore, the full name of the General Secretary should be the General Secretary, and the Chief General Secretary.
The chief commander of the capital is actually the commander of the front army in important areas. In the past, it was called the deployment of the cavalry and infantry army, but later it was changed to the chief commander of the cavalry and infantry army. Many important prefectures, prefectures and troops were established as military commanders, with prefects and prefects serving as military commanders, while some counties with garrisons were established as military commanders, with county magistrates serving as military commanders.
The national policy of the Song Dynasty was to use civil servants to build military forces, and civil officials were the commanders of the army in various places. However, when wars were fought, military generals were required to charge, so the deputy generals, deputy chief officers, and deputy chief supervisors were appointed by military generals.
The general manager, chief officer, and chief officer are all commanders from all over the country. However, since the implementation of the general military strategy, the Song Dynasty had generals and generals and generals, and generals who were not generals and generals and generals and generals and other commanders, forming a relatively complex relationship. Not only were the officials repeatedly set up, but the command system and governing system became more chaotic. For this reason, the court, on the basis of managing the sanctuary, the appeasement envoy or prefect, and the prefecture served as the generals and generals, also appointed the generals and generals as the deputy generals and deputy chief officers.
There are thirteen generals and imperial guards in Hedong. The first general of Hedong Wang also serves as the deputy general manager of Hedong's troops. At this moment, he is on the battlefield in Hebei and cannot come back. Among the remaining twelve generals, only the second general in Hedong can hold the important tasks.
Last year, Zhe Kecun led his army to the south to attack Fang La. At that time, he was the fourth general in Hedong. After arriving in Jiangnan, he took office as the commander, leading the first general in the southeast, the seventh general and the fourth general in the capital, attacking cities and seizing villages, and making many military achievements. Later, Song Jiang rebelled again, and he led his army to cross the river and annihilate Song Jiang near Huaisi. Logically, he should have participated in the Northern Expedition, but Tong Guan took into account the safety of Hedong and transferred him back to Taiyuan.
Tong Guan's recommendation can be deposited as the commander, and the emperor agreed. However, the imperial edict was not issued. His name was not justified. To put it bluntly, he was temporarily responsible. As the name suggests, he actually had no battlefield command. Zhang Xiaochun had no choice but to rush to Ningwu Pass to take charge. Datong is the front line, and Ningwu Pass is located between Yunzhong Road and Hedong Road, which is very safe. Zhang Xiaochun set up a camp here, and can take into account the front and rear, which is considered to be personally commanding.
Zhang Xiaochun first arrived in Hedong and was the first time he served as the local commander. He was relatively unfamiliar with the military affairs in Hedong. A few years ago, he served as the Transportation Commander on Yongxing Jun Road. Yongxing Jun Road is one of the six routes in Shaanxi, between Shaanxi and Hedong, so he also knows a little about Hedong.
Hedong and Xixia and Liao countries bordered, and the prefectures and counties such as Dai, Xin, Feng, Fu, Lin and other border counties were guarded by the general family. These general families were well-known and inherited by the descendants of the family. The local power was very large. The largest general in Hedong was the Zhe family in the Prefectures. The Zhe family had a history of more than 400 years. This family and other generals in the northwest formed a mixed relationship network through marriage and other methods. The prefectures and counties and nearby prefectures are basically the sphere of influence of the Zhe family. Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Zhe family has been honored and favored, and while winning over it, it spared no effort to curb it. However, for more than 100 years, the wars in the northwest have been constantly in the northwest. The Zhao family dynasty needed the force of the Zhe family, so the strength of the Zhe family has increased. This can be seen from the fact that the prefectures and prefectures have always been the children of the Zhe family.
People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. The Zhe family is considered a tree that attracts wind in the northwest. There are also those who cling to each other and those who calculator. Moreover, the Zhe family is a Dangxiang family and belongs to the French clan. They are often treated unfairly because of the discriminatory policies of the Song Dynasty. This has led many generals in the northwest, including those who have marriage relationships with the Zhe family, to find opportunities to step on a few steps, and to take off the dazzling halo of this prominent family that has been glorious for four hundred years.
This is also a human nature. A luxurious general like the Zhe family is born with a sense of superiority. The Zhe family is both sharp and aggressive, both in the battlefield and in the officialdom. This place is easy to be jealous and become the target of the attack.
Zhang Xiaochun knew about this situation. When he came to Hedong, the head of the commander of the Si, the first thing he did was to visit the Zhe family in Fuzhou. In his opinion, the Zhe family in Hedong is the boss. As long as he coaxed the boss of the Zhe family, he would live a good life in Hedong. But after a while, he found that he thought things too simple. Hedong is not a boss of the Zhe family, but a group of bosses. Although some bosses are not as powerful as the Zhe family, their strength should not be underestimated.
When Zhang Xiaochun took office, he wanted to burn a few fires. He was in charge of the commander. The target of "burning fire" was naturally the army. But if the army was rectified, he had to "fight" with these bosses. As a result, he was disappointed. Even the emperor warned him with a hand of an edict. At this time of military use, we must not provoke conflicts.
When Zhang Xiaochun was helpless, he suddenly understood Tong Guan. He had been in charge of military affairs in the northwest for nearly twenty years. Although he had recovered some territory and even occupied the Tiandu and Hengshan line in recent years, he had gained a strategic advantage in the battle against Xia. However, compared with the local military expenditure in the past twenty years, this record was nothing. In the past, he also believed that Tong Guan would not fight. But now his views have begun to change. Tong Guan is definitely not as capable as Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and others. But from Fan Zhongyan to Tong Guan, generations of people fought fiercely in the northwest. With the national strength of the Song Dynasty and the army of the Song Dynasty, why hasn't defeated Xixia and recovered Heshuo so far? Is this not to have anything to do with the Northwest Army and the Northwest Army?
Zhang Xiaochun thought of a saying: Raise the enemy and respect yourself. This is the only law of survival of a martial artist. It is the law of unchanging throughout the ages.
The Song Dynasty used civil warfare to build military affairs. The status of military men was very low. Even if they were outstanding, they would only be rewarded with military governors. In fact, military men could not get the opportunity to achieve great achievements. Because once your achievements made the emperor feel uneasy, you could leave the battlefield. You would be promoted to the open and secretly to be promoted to a free position and live a life of vain. On the contrary, civil officials and officials within the civil servants only need to win the emperor's favor. Military governors, Kaifu Yi and Sansi, and other warriors will not be able to get the highest honor in their entire lives.
The emperor gave it a reward. This huge contrast and this unfairness have been accumulated in the hearts of the warriors for a long time. The result can be imagined. This not only makes the conflict between the military generals and civil officials increasingly larger. More importantly, it makes the survival of the military generals in danger. Just imagine. Once there is no war, does the Song Dynasty still need military people? Rabbits die and dogs cook. This is obvious. At that time, do generals such as the Zhe family, the Zhong family, and the Yao family still have room for survival?
Using civilized military forces to support the enemy, and supporting the enemy's self-respect, the war in the northwest has not yet come to an end for decades. The military men used this helpless method to seek survival, while the literati gritted their teeth and used more severe methods to deprive the military of the military and attack their power. This vicious cycle year after year, and today, not only exhausted the power of the Song Dynasty, but also exhausted the military power of the Song army, so that even a sure victory Northern Expedition failed incredibly.
Now, as far as Hedong is concerned, there are conflicts between generals and generals, and there are distrusts between military generals and generals; there are conflicts between military officials and civil officials. The generals, the Xuanfu Department, and the Generals and the Generals and the Generals and the Generals are not trusted. It is particularly angering that when the mountain has returned to the Song Dynasty and the Yunzhong Road is in danger, the Song Dynasty sent troops north to support, but hesitated. Even the front-line commander is temporary. How can this battle be fought?
Zhang Xiaochun's worries became reality the moment he stepped into Ningwu Pass.
He had ordered four generals from Hedong to gather at Ningwu Pass, but in addition to Zhe Kecun and Yangling, the third general Cao and the seventh general Murong Xiahan had not arrived. One was still in Yanmen Pass and the other was still in Ninghua Army, and he ignored Zhang Xiaochun's orders.
Cao was a descendant of Cao Bin, the founding father of the Song Dynasty. He was a royal relative for generations. Murong Xiahan was a descendant of Murong Yanzhao, the founding father of the Song Dynasty. Although these two general families were mainly civil officials, people served as generals in the imperial guards from generation to generation. Although Zhang Xiaochun had a large official position, his power was still too small compared to these children from aristocratic families. He could not afford to offend these descendants.
Zhang Xiaochun, please find a solution. You are the commander and their immediate boss. Your Zhe family is the boss in Hedong, so they will definitely listen to you.
Zhe Kecun was twenty-five or six years old, very young. He was a general at the age of being a general. In the war in Fangla, he was still in charge of the four generals' troops in the war last year. In addition to his bravery in fighting, the most important reason was his family background. If he was not the Zhe family, could he quickly climb to the position of the general officer? Can he get the opportunity to establish meritorious deeds?
It is precisely because of this that Cao and Murong Xiahan disdained him. We are older than the one who can save more, and our military achievements are less than the one who can save less, and our level is not lower than the one who can save less. Why can you save more than the one who can save more? And we must obey his command?
Of course, Zhe Kecun knew their thoughts, but he didn't want to find trouble. I was just taking responsibility for it for a while. I didn't care whether they came or not. Besides, Zhe Keqiu, a cousin from the Prefecture, also wrote a letter, asking him to delay the time of going north as much as possible, because the army in Chage is in Ningbian Prefecture, only more than one hundred miles away from Feng and the front line. Once the news of the main force of the Hedong Army going north to Datong leaked, who can guarantee that Chage will not lead the army to attack south?
Zhe Keqiu is the governor of the prefecture and the commander of the military commander of the prefecture. Among the generations of the Zhe family, in addition to the dead Zhe Keshi and Zhe Keda, even this Zhe Keqiu is the most powerful. Zhe Keqiu cursed in the letter, the slaughter in Bianjing is all stupid birds, and Tong Guan is even a birdless pickled. What do they know? Li Hu was a Liaodong Han who started his rebellion. He had more than 100,000 troops under his command, which was very powerful. In order to take back the mountain, the Song Dynasty not only accepted Li Hu, but also gave him assistance. This was simply a disaster for raising tigers. How many people in Bianjing now know the situation in Daibei? How many people have seen the situation in Daibei? We are the bosses here, and we can't see clearly, let alone the stupid birds in Bianjing. So you stay well at Ningwu Pass, don't move around, and see the situation clearly first.
Zhe Kecun refused it, and Zhang Xiaochun was at a loss. But at this time, Liu sent someone to send a letter asking Zhang Xiaochun to go north quickly and must arrive at the Killerkou within three days.
