Rationally speaking, Zhao Jiu should not kill Liu Guangshi, because there are too many disadvantages to doing so, and it is not just a done deal.
First of all, the Song Dynasty treated the scholar-bureaucrats favorably, but the Song Dynasty did not have the tradition of killing generals who voluntarily gave up their military power! It can even be said that this seriously violated the established strategy of Song Taizu, let alone something as egregious as official killing with his own hands.
Therefore, what Lu Haowen said is right. This prime minister is indeed competent at this time... Zhao Jiu is personally destroying the Song Dynasty system at this time, and the Song Dynasty system is precisely what maintains his Zhao Guan family in this turbulent time.
A true weapon of authority.
In other words, Zhao Jiu is digging out Zhao Song's roots with his own hands and tossing the rotten chair under his butt!
Secondly, from another perspective, the Jin Army has arrived in Huaibei at this time, and the two sides are separated by a river. The so-called state of war, so what is it like to kill such a high-ranking general at this time?
Wang De and Fu Qing were caught by Zhao Guan's family personally, but what if they didn't succeed at that time?
Moreover, Wang De and Fu Qing are not bad. One of them is a famous general with a title in the central government and has many connections with the central government; the other is a new recruit and his subordinates can be considered independent... The relationship between these two people and Liu Guangshi
It's not as if he broke the bones and connected the tendons, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught.
But at this moment, since Liu Guangshi is dead and was killed by Zhao Guan's family, what about the three thousand Western Army headquarters he left at the foot of the mountain? Qiao Zhongfu and Zhang Jing, two commanders from the Western Army, are still at the foot of the mountain.
God knows what the outcome will be?!
What should I do if it’s the other way around?
If we don’t fight back, what will happen if we mutiny and flee?
Even if nothing happens, when the news gets out, will there be any good results?
It can be said that after killing Liu Guangshi, at this moment, among the few armed forces of the Song Dynasty near the Central Plains, except for Zongze's Tokyo Remaining Division and General Zhang Han, the other messy generals have become
Be unreliable!
For example, Fan Qiong has a very dark history. He took a knife and forced Zhao Heng, one of the two saints, to leave the city and surrender, and killed countless Tokyo soldiers who blocked the way. He was considered a Zhang Bangchang among military ministers. He was finally appeased by Li Gang before.
, at this time, he was leading the army to suppress the rebellion in the Xiangyang and Nanyang areas; there was another commander in the imperial camp, named Wang Yi, who was also known for his poor military discipline and domineering behavior. At this time, he was leading the army behind him in Jiangning Mansion.
(today's Nanjing) to prepare for the pick-up; even Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu, it took so long to rely on Liu Yan's strategy to capture Ding Jin, delaying such a big event, already worried, but then again
As a general of the Western Army, he will inevitably have random thoughts...
When it comes to the identity of Liu Guangshi's generals of the Western Army, the remnants of the Western Army are still the main support of the Song Dynasty at this time. Qu Duan of Guanxi, the Liu brothers, the Wu brothers, and Yang Weizhong of Hebei... Although all of them should be
Believable, but what if someone has a half-hearted intention?
In short, when the news spreads, it is normal for any of these people to rebel. And the words of the censor Zhongcheng Zhang Jun are also very pertinent. Zhao Jiu is just tossing around on the edge of the danger of national subjugation!
But didn’t Zhao Guanjia say that? He would rather perish his country than do this! In other words, he knew these dangers long ago, but he still did it! Or to put it another way, when he did this, he knew it would happen
There are dangers!
In fact, compared to these things that are foreseeable and consistent with inferences, the civil and military officials are more worried about what this desperate official will do next? If he 'would rather subjugate his country' a few more times, then what will happen to them?
What should I say when I see Li Gang and the other husbands?
"What did Yamashita say?"
At noon, the sun was shining brightly. From the top of Bagong Mountain, the view on the other side was excellent. This made it impossible to hide the arrival of the Jin Army brigade. It was almost as if they were prepared. As the Jin Army brigade slowly appeared one after another,
On the north bank, the foot of Bagong Mountain on the south bank, which had been quiet all morning, suddenly became noisy and noisy again... Zhao Jiu, who was sitting alone on the top of the northern mountain range of Bagong Mountain to observe the situation, heard the commotion and almost didn't look back, so he asked.
"Go back to the official's house!"
After turning back from the bottom of the mountain, he first reported the situation to several important civil and military ministers inside the curtain, and then in desperation, regardless of official orders, Yang Yizhong opened the curtain and came here and quickly bowed his head. "Good instructors know,
In the morning, thanks to General Wang (Wang De) and Commander Fu (Fu Qing) who moved the camp in advance, and the two commanders Qiao, (Qiao Zhongfu), and Zhang (Zhang Jing) were able to understand the general situation, they finally stabilized the situation.
But as soon as the main force of the Jin people arrived, the whole camp was in a commotion, and even Wang and Fu's subordinates were in a hurry..."
"As long as it doesn't go the other way, what's the point of being hasty?" Zhao Jiu turned around with a hint of ridicule. Not sure if it was an illusion, but this official Zhao actually gave people a feeling of relief and ease at this time. "Then, Wang.
, Fu’s subordinates are all like this, but what about the three thousand Western Army? They are the ones taking the lead in making noise below, right?"
"Exactly!"
"They don't rebel but they just make noise. What do they want?" Zhao Jiu seemed more and more unconcerned. He didn't know whether it was because the jar had been broken or because he had opened a new world after killing someone yesterday.
"They want a reward!"
Yang Yizhong, who lowered his head, carefully peeked at the officials who stood up and passed by him. It had to be said that after yesterday, he felt more afraid of Zhao Jiu, because it was so rare for the Zhao officials to be able to kill with their own hands.
"They are making noises and causing trouble, saying that as a rule in the past, when an official ascended the throne, they would give rewards to the Imperial Guards. However, this time after the officials ascended the throne, they have not given rewards to this day, but they have to work so hard..."
"Finally, I didn't say directly that it was because of Liu Guangshi's incident." Zhao Jiu sighed a little while pacing with his hands behind his hands.
"Qiao Zhongfu and Zhang Jing are both veteran generals of the Western Army who can understand the general situation. They will not let these ruffians in the army be so unscrupulous. However, soldiers asking for rewards is something that has always happened in the army, and it is also the most instigated.
People's hearts." At this point, Yang Yizhong, who was following Zhao Jiu, became more careful with his words. "The officials, several ministers and ministers all thought that if they couldn't deal with it quickly, I'm afraid General Wang and Commander Fu would also
Everyone will be involved in it, even the Huyan Command and the Imperial Banzhi will be unstable..."
"It seems that the people making trouble are all old men in the army. They know how to make trouble and when to make trouble." Zhao Jiu continued to walk forward, but stopped at the edge of the curtain that served as his palace, Zhao Guan's family, and then suddenly turned around and asked with a smile
"So what if I don't give this reward? What if I give it to you?"
"No. Without the support of senior generals at the command level, they cannot rebel. However, the main force of 20,000 Jin people is in Huaibei, so they may not be able to take the opportunity to agitate and let the whole camp break up and go south!" Yang Yizhong said seriously.
"No!" Zhao Jiu shook his head immediately and pointed north. "As you can see, the main force of the Jin people has already arrived. I don't know how long it will take to repair the inner crossing to Caicheng. Zhang Jun has become completely alone on the other side.
, if the Huainan Bagong Mountain camp collapses again at this time, then he will have no room left...either the whole city will collapse overnight, or he will be forced to surrender by his subordinates, which is what can be seen now."
"Then we can only reward you." Yang Yizhong responded carefully. "I just reported to several ministers, and they all agreed with me. They are waiting for the officials behind the curtain!"
Zhao Jiu nodded, then looked up at the clear winter sky and sighed, not knowing what he was thinking: "Is there indeed sufficient wealth in the camp?"
"I can't say it's enough, but the treasury of the two big states, Shouzhou and Shunchang Prefecture, are here, so it's feasible to give a rough reward to the whole army." In fact, the censor Zhongcheng Zhang Jun, who was on the other side of the curtain, couldn't help but said. "
The official family, since the official family regards the minister as the chief censor, then the minister has to say... Since Liu Guangshi has been killed at this time, it is useless to talk more, and Liu Guangshi is only one person after all, but there are thousands of people at the foot of the mountain at this time.
With tens of thousands of people, it is impossible to stabilize the situation just by punishment!"
"You're right, I don't expect to rely solely on punishment..." Zhao Jiu nodded repeatedly through the curtain.
"Officials, good instructors know." Another person spoke through the curtain, but he was the only serious Dongfu Xianggong Lu Haowen in the camp. "Even if Xing Xing's wealth is gone, the officials don't have to worry about Xing Xing.
Regarding the expenses in the camp, it should be noted that Privy Zhang (Zhang Cui) prepared salt introduction in Huaidong and passed the ultimatum, and everything went well; Liang Shizhi (Liang Yangzu) dealt with the southeastern wealth in Yangzhou, and it was also effective... These can directly provide this
It is to the west. After Ding Jin surrendered, the roads were restored, and the goods and supplies provided by Chuzhou and other military states could be delivered immediately." At this point, Lu Haowen paused for a moment before continuing. "
Now that the official rewards have been properly rewarded and people's hearts have recovered, we can safely go south to Yangzhou to avoid the enemy for a while and leave this place to Wang De... It's time to promote him to the position of commander."
"Wang De can indeed be given the title of commander." Zhao Jiu listened for a long time through the curtain, and then suddenly added, "But since we talked about the west and rewarded soldiers and horses here, there is no need to reward Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu in the west.
Liu Yan, or even Ding Jin? Moreover, Liu Guangshi had just been killed, and they were also members of the Western Army, and they also needed to be appeased. The whereabouts of Zhang Suo were also unclear... In short, a high-ranking minister had to go to the west.
Make a trip and distribute rewards on the spot for the property escorted by Chuzhou, and give appropriate promotions to appease people's hearts. Mr. Lu or Mr. Wang, who among you will go?"
There was silence on the other side of the curtain for a while, but soon Lu Haowen spoke again: "The official family, the official family must have at least one prime minister from the East and West Mansion on their side, otherwise people will be uneasy... I think it is better to do what I did in Ying before."
Yu Wenxuzhong, a bachelor of the Zizheng Palace who was separated from his mother's side, joined the privy affairs committee and transferred to Huaixi to appease Liu and Miao, and also took care of the transfer of several military prefectures in Huaixi."
"Okay." Zhao Jiu smiled and didn't say much.
"Under that mountain..."
"Please prepare rewards at the foot of the mountain!" Zhao Jiu continued to smile with his hands behind his back across the curtain. "Wang Taiwei first went to tell the generals and commanders to appease people's hearts first; and then put all the gold, silver, money, cloth and goods to the south.
Spread it out on the gentle slope of the mountainside, let them all see it with their own eyes, and Prime Minister Wang will take care of it personally, looking for mature people to distribute it fairly..."
"The officials make a clear decision."
Obviously, many people on the other side of the curtain breathed a sigh of relief, but Privy Councilor Wang Boyan still cautiously made a small suggestion. "But in an official family, it is not good for officials to expose their property to the sergeants."
, otherwise once there are unscrupulous people instigating it, it will be the root cause of chaos."
Zhao Jiu thought thoughtfully, then slowly nodded his head and said as he was doing well: "In that case, it will not be revealed publicly. Moreover, since we are worried that there will be more incitement at the scene, why not let the officers under Qiao Zhongfu and Zhang Jing in the Western Army...
...the people who are making trouble... specially go to the small village on the top of the mountain, and Lu Xianggong and Zhang Zhongcheng will come forward to reward more and comfort them more. In this way, on the one hand, they can save rewards when they come out to make trouble, and on the other hand, it can be seen whether they can get rid of the root cause.
Go ahead and pacify this force."
There was silence outside the curtain, then whispers.
However, when Zhao Jiu lowered his head and opened the curtain and walked in, the so-called important ministers were Lu Haowen, Wang Boyan, Wang Yuan, and Zhang Jun, plus others such as Hu Yin, Yang Yizhong, and Lan Gui.
Various civil and military ministers were banned and kept silent.
The leader, Lu Haowen, no longer hesitated, but immediately nodded: "The official said this because of his maturity, I thought I could give it a try."
Zhao Jiu put his hands behind his hands and smiled... If it weren't for the blood stains from last night on the open space in the middle of the curtain, the main force of the Jin army and an isolated city on the other side of the river, and the noisy rebels at the foot of the mountain, everyone would almost think that this extremely relaxed official was in front of them.
It was Emperor Ren who came to visit the mountains and rivers in the peaceful years.
Just like that, since everyone had received the order, they immediately turned around and went about their business. At this time, Zhao Jiu suddenly reminded him: "Get some wealth first, and I will personally reward all the officials in front of you!"
This was a reasonable thing, and everyone became even more speechless, and immediately became even busier.
ps: Thanks to Zhuangzhuang’s father, Uncle Ze for their double alliance, thanks to Le Yanshan and Coffee Table for their alliance, and thanks to Ayue, my aunt for complimenting me, and the World Fireworks and other people for their rewards... In short, thank you all for your New Year gifts.
!
I asked Zhao Xiaojiu to kowtow to everyone and say hello, wishing everyone a happy New Year and everyone making a fortune in 2020!
