Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhang Shuye frowned, and said: "The case of Xi Gong and Liu Guangshi will inevitably stir up thousands of waves in the northwest. If this matter is strictly investigated now, I am most worried that the upper-level generals of the Northwest Forbidden Army will defect to Xixia."

Zhao Ding said: "But if we don't investigate, no matter how many new troops the imperial court sends over, it will be of no avail. Xixia is growing day by day. If our Northwest military administration in the Great Song Dynasty is like this, how will we fight the Xixia people in the future, and how will we fight the Jin people? "

"Investigate! Check to the end!" Zhao Ning said in a sonorous and forceful tone, "I promise that the war dead will be [-] pennies, not less than a penny! Even if it is to poke a hole in the northwest boundary, I will investigate this matter." Be clear, clear and clear!"

"Go and send Yang Yizhong, the Military Governor's Mansion will personally send someone to investigate!"

Just when Zhao Ning had just made up his mind to investigate strictly, a very urgent secret report came from Jin Guo.

On September 28, Liu Yu received the official canonization of the Jin Kingdom and became the emperor of the Qi Kingdom.

This secret report was sent from Shangjing by people from the Military Intelligence Department, and it meant that the Kingdom of Jin was about to use the puppet Qi to launch a new war against Song Dynasty.

Chapter 333 Move the Knife to the Northwest! (first update)

There is a famous Huaixi military uprising in history, which happened in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty's offensive against the puppet Qi was very good. The Song Army broke free from the Iron Curtain of Jingkang shame, and the momentum of the Song Army from all walks of life rose.

But Liu Guangshi was timid and unwilling to fight, so Zhang Jun told Zhao Gou to dismiss Liu Guangshi.

So Zhao Gou dismissed Liu Guangshi, and then Liu Guangshi's generals became angry: We don't have to really risk our lives to follow Liu Guangshi to eat and drink spicy food, so why should we drive Liu Guangshi away?

This is the overall military and political problem caused by the typical general leading the soldiers to be lazy, and the soldiers are spoiled.

It is correct to rectify Liu Guangshi, but there is no sufficient reason to directly dismiss Liu Guangshi, which is a rude way, which has caused dissatisfaction among most people.

In addition, the 5 people who were going to let Yue Fei take over Liu Guangshi temporarily regretted it due to political reasons.

Moreover, there was a fatal problem with the promotion arrangement of Liu Guangshi's former general, which led to a stalemate in this major military region change of defense.

This is the appalling Huaixi military coup in history, which was the biggest military coup against the Southern Song Dynasty.

Some people say that if there is no Huaixi military uprising, history may be rewritten.

Anyone who has read this period of history should know that personnel changes in the military defense area are not pediatrics.

There is naturally a lot of room for manipulation in peacetime, but in the face of foreign enemies, manipulation requires extremely high skills.

Zhang Shuye said: "Your Majesty, do you want to transfer a group of Northwest Forbidden Army to Hedong to support Wu Jie and lock Taiyuan City? In this way, some of the generals in the Northwest Forbidden Army will be transferred away, which will reduce the resistance of the investigation, and secondly, it will free up space. Supplement the source of recruits."

"No." Zhao Ding directly denied this decision, "Deploying troops is a good idea, but once Xi Xia finds out, it's hard to guarantee that they won't take action."

Zhao Ning nodded.

This reminded him of a novel called "Three-Body Problem" that he read in his previous life.

At present, Song Dynasty and Xixia are indeed living in peace, but this peace is based on the balance of deterrence.

The so-called balance of deterrence refers to the deterrence of military force and the double balance of economic and trade linkages.

What would the Trisolarans do if they found out that the earth had withdrawn from the transmitter, or briefly tuned away from the transmitter?

Peace can never be taken for granted!

The new balance of the Three Kingdoms that was finally formed, if there is a fatal vacancy in force, the consequences will be disastrous.

Zhang Shuye said again: "Then transfer, in the name of the Martial Arts Hall, a group of high-level generals will be transferred to Beijing for exchanges, and the middle-level generals will exchange military defenses with each other, and then a large number of new military supervisors will be drawn from the Lecture Hall work."

"In this way, without arousing the rebellion of the Northwest Forbidden Army, the new establishments at all levels will be placed in the army. After everything is arranged properly, the Military Governor's Office will conduct a strict investigation!"

The military governor is a new organization in the new military regime. His responsibility is not to lead troops to fight, but to promote the imperial court's ideology in the army.

This is to separate the ideological work of the army from the commanding generals, and focus on it separately. It is a means of strengthening the imperial court's control over the army, and avoiding the warlordization of local generals after the more garrison law is abolished.

At present, all levels of the Central Guard Brigade on Gyeonggi Road have basically been equipped with such military governors.

Part of the Northwest Forbidden Army has already been deployed.

Zhao Ding added: "This is a good idea, but we still need to save another hand."

Zhang Shuye asked suspiciously: "Keep a hand?"

Zhao Guanjia said: "It is to let some generals not make arguments, maintain the original establishment, and be prepared to deal with rebellion at any time and prepare to resist foreign enemies."

As soon as the word rebellion was spoken, the atmosphere became more dignified.

Military defense involves national defense security, and life and death matters must not be trifling, let alone guard against.

Everything must have a guarantee policy, and the situation cannot be allowed to break through the red line.

Once the red line is broken and the situation is out of control, no one can turn the tide in a short time.

In fact, before the Song Dynasty, there was a more garrison law, that is, the generals of different military states had to talk regularly to prevent the generals from becoming bigger.

However, this creates a situation where "the general does not know the soldiers and the soldiers do not know the general", which greatly weakens the combat effectiveness of the army.

When Wang Anshi reformed, Song Shenzong abolished the more garrison law.

Zhang Shuye asked suspiciously, "Then how to distinguish who should be transferred and who should not be transferred?"

This is a big problem, because so far, it is still unclear who got the money in the northwest and who didn't.

If the money-greedy ones are ignored and the non-greedy ones are dismissed, once the situation becomes chaotic, the non-greedy ones will not be able to cooperate well with the new subordinates for a while because of the arguments, and there will be a tendency to weaken the combat effectiveness, then what the hell? It's over.

The two looked at Zhao Guan's house. Although the personnel appointment of the senior commander of the Western Army was made through economic envoys and system envoys, in the end, His Majesty the Emperor personally stamped it.

Zhao Ning said: "I'm here to select the remaining personnel."

So it was arranged like this.

Next, Zhao Ningxuan met with Yang Yizhong and told him what happened and how to deal with it.

Originally, rectifying the Northwest Military and Political Affairs was already in Zhao Ning's plan, but now that this happened, it can only be said that Zhao Guanjia's process of rectifying the Northwest Forbidden Army has been accelerated.

So far, this matter has been decided in a very low-key manner, and it was not announced immediately.

On the same day, a secret letter from Zhao Guan's family was sent from the capital to Jingzhao Mansion.

This secret letter is for Zhang Jun. Zhang Jun is quick-tempered, and his actions are as fierce as thunder and fire.

It is precisely this kind of character that forced people from all walks of life in the northwest to assemble hundreds of thousands of troops to fight to the death with the Jin army in the second year of Jingkang.

This kind of temperament can get things done, but sometimes it can also mess things up.

Zhao Ning emphasized one point in the secret letter: everything must be prepared before it can be done!

Of course, the most important thing in this secret letter to Zhang Jun is to ask him to arrange for the generals to stay.

Such as Liu Kai, such as Wu Lin.

He mentioned Li Yanxian, a general who hadn't taken the lead for the time being, and Zhe Yanzhi, who was developing wretchedly in Longyou Duhufu.

In fact, in the past two years, Zhang Jun who stayed in Shaanxi promoted a group of new generals.

The Wu brothers were promoted by him, and Liu Qi was also promoted by him.

These new backbones of the Northwest Forbidden Army, at this time, are the key pillars supporting the overall situation of the Northwest.

On the sixth day of October, the Military and Political Council suddenly ordered to mobilize some officers who graduated from the lecture hall to serve as military governors at all levels in the Hebei and Hedong Forbidden Army.

This was regarded as a normal military and political operation, and did not cause any heated discussions. After all, the Imperial Guard Brigade on Gyeonggi Road also arranged such an official position.

On the seventh day of October, the Military and Political Council ordered the mobilization of some military officers who graduated from the lecture hall to serve as military governors at all levels on the Eastern Front.

On the eighth day of October, the Military and Political Council naturally ordered the mobilization of some military officers who had graduated from the lecture hall to serve in the Northwest.

At this time, the local gangster turmoil caused by the Huaixi New Deal basically subsided. On the tenth day of October, Yue Fei, who was in Huaixi, returned to Tokyo to return to his command.

In these two days, Zhao Ning made relatively large personnel arrangements for the Imperial Guard Brigade, including arrangements for Yue Fei.

Chapter 334 When everyone gets angry, blood splatters three feet! (Second more)

Every time he saw Yue Fei, Zhao Ning felt at ease.

In the Hall of Wende, Yue Fei reported his past few months in Huaixi.

The local turmoil in Huaixi was just a child's play for Yue Fei.

The reason why Zhao Ning sent him there was nothing more than to ask him to lead more troops out to practice.

"Pengju, I plan to send you to Fucheng, are you willing?"

"It's all at His Majesty's disposal."

"Now there are many bandits and bandits in Hebei and Hedong, and they are gathering people to cause chaos and cause harm to one side." Zhao Ning handed Yue Fei some documents, "The military defense on the Eastern Front is relatively weak, so I want you to go to Fucheng."

"Fucheng is located in the south of Hejian Mansion, between Hebei West Road and Hebei East Road. I hope you can make great achievements there."

"The minister will fulfill his mission!"

"How many cavalry are in your army now?"

"There are three thousand cavalry."

"If you fight a big battle with 10 people, can you have [-] cavalry?"

Yue Fei thought for a while and said, "It would be best if it could be increased to six thousand."

"Okay! I will increase it to six thousand for you, and equip each rider with three horses!"

"Your Majesty, the number of war horses is not enough now. If this is the configuration, I am worried that other troops may..."

"You don't have to worry, I have my own arrangements."

"Yes!"

As soon as Yue Fei returned to the capital to hand over his military power, he went to the Military and Political Academy to re-lead the military amulet, ordered troops, and then quickly went north to Fucheng.

On October [-]th, [-] new military officers of different ranks from the Tokyo City Lecture Hall set off from the capital and headed all the way to Shaanxi Sixth Road.

In the early morning of October [-]th, Gao Qiu ran to the Wende Hall: "Your Majesty, that Wang Xiucai has been found."

"Where are the people?"

"Now in the Imperial City Division, this is the document for the first trial."

Zhao Ning quickly took it and couldn't wait to open it.

Even though he already knew about the corruption of the military and government in the Northwest, he was still furious after reading Wang Xiucai's confession.

"Go, let Yang Yizhong go to the Imperial City Division."

"Yes."

He didn't even eat breakfast, Zhao Ning rushed directly to the gate of the Imperial City Department, and Yang Yizhong was waiting at the gate of the Imperial City Department early.

"See Your Majesty."

"Go, go in and meet an important person."

Soon, Zhao Ning met that Wang Xiucai.

Gao Qiu said: "Now in front of you is His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. You can explain everything you know in detail. There must be no false words, understand?"

After Wang Xiucai heard about it, he said excitedly, "Long live the grass people pay homage to His Majesty."

The scholars of the Song Dynasty were not the famous scholars of the Ming Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty failed to obtain a Jinshi, the previous ones would be invalidated and they would have to take the exam from the beginning.

Therefore, folks generally call them scholars, which means that this person used to have the title of scholar, which is a customary name.

Most of these scholars who failed the ranking have become officials, such as this Wang Xiucai.

His real name is Wang Yanbin.

"I ask you, you said that there is corruption in the distribution of pensions in the entire Yan'an Prefecture, but is it true?"

"It's absolutely true. Cao Min is an official in Yan'an Mansion. He has worked in Yan'an Mansion for five years. Cao Min participated in the dispatch of military rations, distribution of military salaries, and recruitment of soldiers in the second year of Jingkang."

"Among them, there is also serious corruption in the distribution of military pay. The monthly salary of ordinary soldiers is [-] cash, but in the end less than [-] cash is in their hands."

"In the second year of Jingkang, before the war between Song and Jin, the imperial court sent a large number of armors to various places in Shaanxi, but the Yan'an Mansion deliberately hid the armors and kept them secret."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

Yang Yizhong frowned, and said solemnly: "It may be to preserve strength, send recruits to die, and consume the gold army."

Zhao Ning's face was ashen, but fortunately, his mood was still stable.

"In the second year of Jingkang, when each person was prescribed a catty of grain a day, the soldiers actually got only half a catty, or even less than half a catty."

"Food also deducted?"

"Caomin personally participated in food distribution." Wang Yanbin continued, his emotions seemed a little excited, "In the battle of Yan'an in the second year of Jingkang, 12 soldiers died in battle, and many soldiers went to the battlefield hungry!"

When he said this, he lost control of his emotions, hit his head on the ground, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, please avenge the dead soldiers!"
