Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

He suddenly remembered the "On the Early Stage of the Song-Jin War" written by the Song Emperor Zong Wang when the army returned to the north last year.

His face was ashen.

In the third year of Jingkang, also in April, the withdrawal order of the Jin army was sent to Shaanxi quickly.

This means that Jin Guo will not use troops against Song Dynasty for the time being.

However, this does not mean the end of the war. At least for now, Taiyuan Mansion is still fighting each other. The two sides have fought no less than ten games from the beginning of February to the present.

The Jin army's field combat ability is strong, and the Song army can't beat it head-on, but the commander of the Jin army was surprised to find that the Song army's bandits are so tough!

The so-called endurance is that you beat him to pieces, and you think you won: be honest!

A few days later, you found out that they came again, although they were not from the same group, you beat them to pieces again, and then spat with disdain: a group of spicy chickens!

A few days later, you found them coming again, among them you found those who were defeated by you for the first time, you laughed at them, defeated them again, and by the way proudly said: It's spicy chicken!

However, after another few days, you found that they came again, and you found among them the person who was defeated by you for the second time.

So, you made a bowl of chicken blood for each of your subordinates, and fought Song Jun again.

Many times, you can defeat the Song Army.

You despised Song Jun again and again, but the Song Jun you despised came out again and again.

In the end, you found out: Why are the ghosts of this group of people lingering on!

Until one day, you heard a Song general named Wu Jie rushing over with a group of younger brothers, holding a knife.

You thought he was the same as other Song soldiers, but you didn't know he was different until the moment his knife was cut on your waist.

And the morale of your people has already been worn down by the previous few times.

At this time, this group of the fiercest members of the Song Army came, and when you closed your eyes, you died peacefully.

You think you are dead, at least the Jin army can beat the Song army head-on, and the army will not have too many problems.

But you didn't expect that the army underestimated the enemy and was led into a valley by Wu Jie, where a large area was buried by stones.

This is the general process of the battle between the Song army and the Jin army in Taiyuan Prefecture in the past two months.

Wu Jie in history, before the emergence of the Jin Army, had been fighting Xixia in the northwest. When fighting Xixia, Wu Jie had a characteristic in fighting: wild monsters!

It means, holding a knife, cutting from the east to the west, no matter whether the eyes are dry or not, just don't blink.

Champion the three armies!

But it wasn't until the golden man was playing that Wu Jie unlocked new skills.

What new skills?

Play defensively.

Wu Jie has an obvious characteristic when fighting with the Jin army: he likes to lure people to a certain ravine before fighting.

Generally, stones, crossbows and wooden blocks are used. When the time is almost over, people are ordered to surround the two sides, and they raise their knives and start chopping.

The essence is that he can always let people use various methods to lure Jin Jun over.

You know Wanyan Sali, one of the heroes of Yanqing in the Jin Kingdom, was beaten by Qu Duan and Wu Jie in Shaanxi until he cried when he heard their names, and was given the nickname "Crying Lord".

This time, Jin Jun thought that Song and Jin in Taiyuan Mansion were just a group of mobs, in order to contain Zong Han, so that Zong Han did not dare to go directly to Shaanxi after arriving in Luoyang.

So much so that Wan Yangao only dispatched thousands of troops to Taiyuan to respond to the defense of Taiyuan City. Unexpectedly, it was only now that he suddenly discovered that the Song Army in Taiyuan is also a tough one!

So far, Wu Jie's name has also been recorded by the Jinren.

This is a headache.

When he started to withdraw his troops, Zong Han sent Wan Yan Sa Li and led 1 horses to support Taiyuan Mansion.

The withdrawal order issued by Wanyan Gao to Shaanxi was also sent out quickly.

The retreat of the Jin army was very concealed, and their purpose was to make it difficult for the Song army to detect it.

On April [-]th, Chen Gui was recalled to the capital and met with His Majesty in Wende Hall.

The pressure of the frontline battle has obviously eased a lot, and Zhao Ning called Chen Gui back to have more important tasks.

Zhao Ning, who was negotiating with Chen Gui to set up the "Gewuyuan", suddenly learned that the good news of Taiyuan Mansion was that more than [-] Jin soldiers were defeated and [-] were beheaded, forming a siege of Taiyuan.

Not only that, Zhao Ning has been thinking of summoning the Northwest Titan Qu Duan to the capital, and he has entered the capital!

Chapter 172 Seeing Your Majesty Qu Duan (Second Change)

Along with Qu Duan was the impeachment memorial of Wang Shu, the new Jinglue envoy of Jingyuan Road.

Who to impeach?

It must be Qu Duan!

Qu Duan is definitely the number one problematic figure in Northwest Song Dynasty.

In the official history, this guy was killed by Zhang Jun and Wu Jie.

And Wu Jie, in the beginning, actually mixed with Qu Duan.

Since Wu Jie was messing with Qu Duan, why did he ask Zhang Jun to kill Qu Duan?

The problem lies with Qu Duan himself.

Zhang Jun went to Shaanxi to engage in grand strategy. Of course, after he went, he wanted to improve the relationship between all parties and promote outstanding talents. This is no problem.

And the first person Zhang Jun noticed was Wu Jie.

The ideological work of talents from all sides was also done quite well by Zhang Jun, otherwise he would not have agreed to fight recklessly with Jin Jun.

But there was only one person who didn't buy it, and that person was Qu Duan.

In the northwest, Qu Duan not only refused to obey the order of the economic and strategic envoy, but also wanted to kill his immediate superior, that is, Wang Si.

This has the meaning of treason.

But Zhang Jun used his whole family's life in the court to guarantee Qu Duan that he would not rebel, and later he personally worshiped Qu Duan as a general.

The results of it?

In the end, Zhang Jun still listened to Wu Jie's opinion and killed Qu Duan.

As for why Wu Jie wanted to kill his old boss, the reason was very simple.

Qu Duan sent Wu Jie to drink and beat Jin Jun Wanyan Sali. For the first time, Wu Jie directly beat Wanyan Sali to the point where he burst into tears.

The second time the two armies were about to confront each other, Qu Duan suddenly asked Wu Jie to retreat.

Hehe, the two armies are facing each other, and if they say they withdraw, they will withdraw?

As long as Wu Jie dared to withdraw and the Jin army did not come over, the tense atmosphere would immediately cause the whole army to collapse first.

Fighting is no joke, and many soldiers even have stress reactions before fighting, and the atmosphere is terribly depressing.

Therefore, there has always been a saying in the army: Those who dare to shake the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!

At this time, Wu Jie would definitely not be able to withdraw, but Qu Duan threw Wu Jie down and ran away first.

This is the reason why the trouble was planted between Wu Jie and Qu Duan.

Qu Duan is not an ordinary person, he is also very good at fighting, he knows that it is a taboo to retreat before the battle, but he wants Wu Jie to retreat before the battle, obviously he wants to hurt Wu Jie on purpose.

The motive is that Wu Jie is valued by Zhang Jun.

So, back to Qu Duan, he is a very talented, but narrow-minded and ambitious guy.

This person is really not suitable to stay in an important military defense area, otherwise the damage will definitely be greater than the actual effect.

You know, Wu Jie was the bravest general under Qu Duan before.

This is the story of the official history.

The rhythm of the Northwest was changed by Zhao Ning's grand strategy.

But Wang Shu still wrote a memorandum, impeaching the song!

The reason for impeachment is also very simple: not obeying orders.

What he said was disobedience to the order, because after the Battle of Chang'an, all the roads in Shaanxi were dispatching to form a new line of defense.

This crime was very serious in the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty's wariness against generals was the most serious in all dynasties.

Generals who do not obey orders can be directly regarded as treason.

Therefore, Wang Shu's impeachment memorial is very serious.

If those civil servants in the capital knew about it, they would definitely blow up the pot.

But now the person involved, Qu Duan, has come to the capital.

Of course Qu Duan will come, because Zhao Ning gave him General Yunhui's Wu Sanguan.

Wu Sanguan is an idle official among generals, without specific powers and positions, and is mainly linked to salary.

The product rank is from the third product.

Previously, Qu Duan's rank was from the sixth rank, which was equivalent to jumping six ranks in one breath.

Qu Duan is ambitious, if he wants a high official, then give it!

The so-called want to take must first give.

Senior officials can give it, but you have to come to the capital to see him, right?

So, Qu Duan came to see you.

At this time, he was listening to the announcement outside the palace.

Zhao Ning did not expect that he had just received the good news from Wu Jie and heard of Qu Duan's arrival.

You know, in history, Zhao Gou also summoned Qu Duan, but Qu Duan did not dare to go to Lin'an.

The reason was that Qu Duan had just done a few presumptuous things at that time, and his heart was pounding.

But now, Qu Duan is here, and before the conflicts between the parties intensified, he arrived in the capital.

The thorn in the interior of the Northwest has finally been resolved.

For Qu Duan, Zhao Ning made another arrangement.

Since he came to see His Majesty in the capital, of course he should never go back to Jingyuan Road again!

As for the impeachment of Wang Shu, the big issue was turned into a small one, and it was handled smoothly.

Chen Gui said: "The minister has already written a new defense strategy for Hebei and Hedong, please review it."

Sure enough, it saves worry and effort to use talents.

"Qing Zhennaizhen is a good minister!" Zhao Ning said excitedly, "Now the war on the northern front is tight, and the construction of frontier defense is imminent, but the supply of fortification personnel is not enough, so after much deliberation, I plan to build a Gewuyuan to train What do you think of talents in this field being used by military defense fortifications?"

"If so, it would be better!"

"You have done a great job in the defense this time. I promoted you to be the minister of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of the defense construction of the northern line of the Great Song Dynasty!"

"Thank you Your Majesty, I will do my best."

"Okay, I also have some ideas about Gewuyuan. I have already drawn up the first draft. You can take it back and have a look."

Gewu is a Confucian discipline that specializes in the study of "theory of things", and it is very close to the concept of science.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that paid great attention to scientific and technological research, but lacked systematic theoretical research and records.

The most fundamental reason why science can replace the old world is that when the theoretical knowledge of science accumulates to a certain level, it will produce explosive results, which is the so-called industrial revolution.

But science itself requires many conditions, otherwise it will be difficult to advance.

For example, the weights and measures of the Song Dynasty are not precise enough, and if they are not precise enough, more detailed experiments cannot be carried out.

Of course, this is a matter that needs to be sorted out step by step. Zhao Ning first wrote down some of his own opinions and handed them over to Chen Gui. There is no rush.

After the establishment of the Dengge Museum, there is actually ground for new learning and a steady stream of talents for frontier fortifications.

A real large-scale war does not end with one or two surprise victories. It will inevitably involve road construction, bridge construction, trench digging, city casting, and even firearms development and chariot improvement.

For example, more than half of the Hebei land has been destroyed. If the Song Dynasty does not have strong infrastructure capabilities in the future, the Northern Expedition will not be possible.

why?

Because the Hebei area is already a vacuum zone, the Jin army's attack on the Song Dynasty was too long, so why didn't the Jin army's depth in the Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition be too long?
