It was snowing lightly on the school grounds, and Han Jiang followed the officials in the snow to review the military commander.
When Han Jiang served as Deputy Privy Envoy, he reduced the number of troops in the Imperial Guard and established barracks to save military expenses. This reduction in the Imperial Army accumulated enough political prestige for Han Jiang to promote him to the post of Councilor for Political Affairs.
The Armed Guards Corps, which has been reduced and refined, is undergoing review.
On the school grounds, 1,238 people from the imperial army formed military formations and practiced various battle formations.
Vigorous killing sounds rang out.
After the official inspection, they were very satisfied.
After the review was over, the eunuch on the side announced: "The military training of the Wuwei Army has been effective, and the military commander Qi Yun, the envoy of Chongyi, has been promoted to the third capital. However, there are gaps in the imperial equipment. Li Xiyi, deputy envoy of Zuozangku, and four others In the year of the millennium and survey, twenty-eight instructors and platoon soldiers were moved to one level each. From then on down, the military personnel were given different amounts of silk."
But when I heard the soldiers of the armed guards cheering in unison, they shouted, "Long live the mountain!"
The officials were very satisfied with this scene. After being streamlined, the armed guards now seemed to be well-trained.
After announcing the decree, the official walked down the school field and said to Han Jiang who was following him: "The armed guards will be transferred to the northwest with you temporarily!"
This military guard had received a reward and was in good morale. Seeing that the officials assigned more than a thousand elite imperial guards to him, Han Jiang said gratefully: "I thank your majesty for your kindness."
The official said: "What else can you bring to me when you go to the northwest? I will agree to everything."
Han Jiang said: "I have thanked your majesty in advance. I am also the envoy of Xuanfu. I am responsible for announcing Wei Ling, Fusui border and the general guarding the general, supervising the military affairs. I am going to Pingxia, Shaanxi, and I must make the Hengshan Fan tribe return to my heart." , I intend to make all the households in Shaanxi Province surrender to the Tibetan and Han people, no matter how many, they will be accepted, and I will give them generous support, so as not to allow them to return."
"To resettle the people, we need to cultivate the land, provide money, food, and rewards, so I would like to ask your Majesty for more silver silk!"
The official nodded and said: "Since we are taking Hengshan, we must have war and peace strategies. You are the envoy of Xuanfu, so you can use the money and food from Shaanxi and Hedong routes yourself."
The power of the Xuanfu envoy is very great. Generally, the pacification envoy leads the army, the transportation envoy leads the people, and the prison chief is responsible for punishment. However, the Xuanfu envoy takes over all the power of the military and civilians.
Therefore, the power status of the Xuanfu envoy is like that of the Jiedu envoy in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he must be taken back immediately once the war is over and he must not be allowed to serve for a long time.
The officials knew that food and grass should go first before the three armies were moved. However, Shaanxi and Hedong were very poor due to the war. They were also worried that Han Jiang would not have enough money and asked Wang Anshi: "What good plan does Wang Qing have?"
Wang Anshi reported: "Your Majesty can also order the three departments to not only use gold and silk in Beijing, but also intercept the money transferred from the gold and silk on the fourth road of Xichuan and the money sold by the monks on the fourth road to the Shaanxi Transport Department for payment." They should be piled up in Yongxing or Fengxiang Mansion to prepare for side fees. When the amount is revealed, they can be redeemed and used as silver silk to be sent to Shaanxi in the future as rewards for the soldiers."
The official sighed after hearing this: "Now that the treasury income has improved slightly, the money has been spent like water. The people in Hedong and Shaanxi have been practicing the new law for a year!"
Thinking of the suffering of the soldiers and civilians in Hedong and Shaanxi, the officials could hardly eat. Now in order to capture Hengshan, the imperial court poured almost all its people, material and resources into the northwest.
Before the war even started, the Yongxing Army had confiscated 8,000 pieces of armor, 90,000 guan of money, 23,000 taels of silver, 6,000 silver bowls, and other trivial items based on reports from all the officials.
Can't remember clearly.
At this moment, countless carriages and horses, loaded with grain, grass and weapons, are being continuously transported to various roads in Shaanxi.
This is the so-called nationwide war.
But as long as this battle is won, the people of Hedong and Shaanxi will be freed from this heavy burden once and for all.
Therefore, no matter how much money there is, it must be used by Han Jiang's Xuanfu!
However, with such a large amount of financial resources poured into it, if the war ended in peace, it would be a defeat for the Song Dynasty.
Now there is no way for the official to turn back, and he said seriously: "My ancestors' ambition was to swallow Youyan and Lingwu, but we lost countless troops and lost our troops and humiliated the country. Now I am working hard to avoid this shame for generations to come!"
"This money cannot be saved, so let's follow Wang Qing's opinion."
Han Jiang and Wang Anshi both thanked me.
The official said: "I have agreed that Mr. Zeng should step down as Prime Minister. Now that Han Qing has gone out to serve as the Xuanfu envoy, there is a shortage of people in Zhongshu. Who do you think will take up the post and participate in politics?"
Zeng Gongliang has been dismissed from the prime minister. Zeng Gongliang had previously opposed the Qingmiao Law. Later, during the imperial examination, Zeng Gongliang fell down while walking down the palace steps. From then on, his illness continued to get better and worse, so the officials simply let him go.
I will go to court once in the next five days.
Now that Zeng Gongliang and Han Jiang are gone, only Chen Shengzhi and Wang Anshi are left in Zhongshu.
Who will replace him?
"How about letting Feng Jing try it?"
The official did not agree, but asked: "How is Wu Chong?"
Wang Anshi immediately said: "Wu Chong has a close suspicion with me."
The official said: "It doesn't matter. With your loyalty and uprightness, you won't form any faction."
Wang Anshi refused to allow Wu Chong to join Zhongshu, and finally asked Feng Jing to serve as a counselor in political affairs. Wu Chong filled Feng Jing's position and served as deputy privy envoy.
Both Han and Wang knew that the reason why the officials appointed Wu Chong as Deputy Privy Envoy was to facilitate communication between Han Jiang and the Privy Council. Wen Yanbo had always opposed Hengshan's use of troops and had issues with Han Jiang.
However, as Wu Chong was the deputy privy envoy, he did not have to worry about Wen Yanbo's envoy tripping up, and could fully support Han Jiang's western expedition.
After talking about the person, Han Jiang suddenly said: "I have one more thing, which is what Zhang Yue asked me to do!"
The official said: "Didn't I hear that you asked Zhang Yue to be the judge of the Xuanfu envoy? What's your invitation?"
Han Jiang said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue has resigned from the post of judge of the Xuanfu Envoy."
The official was a little angry after hearing this and said, "What are you doing? Are you trying to get angry with me? Could it be that if he doesn't follow his wishes and visit Hehuang, he won't go to Shaanxi?"
Han Jiang said: "That's not the case..."
When Han Jiang told Zhang Yue's request, the officials were stunned for a while.
Wang Anshi and Han Jiang both saw that the official was a little ashamed, but they still said on their faces: "This man is really stubborn, but I don't have any extra money, food, troops or horses to give him now."
Wang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue has nothing else to ask for. He only wants to be the general judge of one state."
Han Jiang also held up his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Yue really does not want any troops or food from the imperial court. He is only willing to help me capture Hengshan!"
The official said: "The dignified Minister of Foreign Affairs, please declare that the judge will not take office, and you must submit to be the general judge of a state!"
After saying that, the official walked away.
Seeing the official's behavior, Han Jiang and Wang Anshi couldn't help but look at each other.
…
After Han Jiang led his army to the west, the imperial court issued an edict.
Feng Jing, the deputy envoy to the Privy Council and the doctor on the left admonishing the officials, is the deputy minister of political affairs. He is a Hanlin scholar and a doctor in the right department. Wu Chong, the envoy to the third division of Quan, is the official admonishing the officials on the right and the deputy envoy to the privy council.
Wu Chong and Feng Jing are the prime ministers. This is a major event for the imperial court and has its own regulations.
Wu Chong, in particular, was appointed as the Third Secretary-General last year. He just became a Hanlin scholar this year and became the Deputy Privy Envoy within two or three months.
Just judging from the promotion speed of this Hanlin bachelor to privy deputy envoy, it can be said to be nearly a hundred times that of Wang Gui!
After Wu Chong and Feng Jing, there was a seemingly ordinary personnel transfer.
The right minister admonishes, knows how to make imperial edicts, and the minister of Tianzhang Pavilion lectures Zhang Yuetong on the military and state affairs of Qinzhou.
