After Shao Song

Chapter 36 Li Qiong's Loss
Outside the nameless pavilion in the harem, the afternoon sun was particularly harsh. Li Qiong had been kneeling on the stone steps not far away for almost half an hour. Although he could still hold on after ten years of service, how could he say that sentence? It's not very harmful, it's very insulting.

Finally, Yang Yizhong got the order, came to help him up, and said: "The official said that the King of Anyang County came in to answer." Seeing that Li Qiong's face was not dissatisfied, he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

You must know that Li Qiong was originally a student in the state, and he joined the army during the Jingkang Rebellion. In the Song Dynasty, where the nobility and martial arts were extremely low-class, he could be said to have sacrificed his life for the country. Because of this, he also had the qualities of a scholar. Arrogance and a bit of arrogance, when put together, are excessive self-esteem.Zhao Guan's family called for someone to come and scold him, but he still couldn't get angry, so he sent someone out to punish him by kneeling down. This was the first time Jianyan had experienced this. This was the current situation. Before Yaoshan was replaced, he had to prevent Li Qiong from defecting.

Who knew that Li Qiong was quite honest? Just after he stretched his muscles and entered the Wuming Pavilion, Zhao Guanjia asked: "Are you dissatisfied with what happened this time?"

After saying this, Li Qiong lowered his head and said: "Guan family, I deserve to die. I know that selling Jurchens and Xiliao in exchange for war horses and cavalry has been the national policy of the country in recent years, but I can't restrain my subordinates, causing our Jurchens to take 5000 prisoners." Actually, 300 people died, and the officials just dealt with it through military law, and I had nothing to say, so how dare you refuse to accept it?"

Yes, according to the statistics of Liu Yan and Li Xiuzhi, Li Qiong ranked first in the death rate of Jurchen prisoners. This does not mean that Li Qiong himself was blinded by hatred and killed people to vent his anger - although he did not regard these prisoners as much. That's just people, but his subordinates are almost all the Eight-Character Army and Hebei refugees brought by Wang Yan from Hebei. Almost all of them, from the commander to the generals, have a blood feud with the Jurchen Dogs. Now this group of people are assigned to serve as soldiers in his own military camp. Hard labor, it's all yours to cook, feed the horses and chop firewood. You have to farm when the farm is busy. Anyway, you are working as an animal. If you are not satisfied, you will be beaten up first. Do you think that with this management method, there will not be many deaths?However, Li Qiong is not Yue Fei, he is strict with his subordinates, and he has difficulty in overcoming his hatred of the Jurchens, which caused this consequence.

No matter how angry Li Qiong was in book business, he knew he was in trouble after getting this data.

After hearing these words, Zhao Guanjia sighed: "I know that I am also responsible for what happened this time. If I hadn't held back for a while in the spring and directly executed those prisoners, I would not have set a bad example for you. So. So I shouldn’t punish you like this.”

In the final analysis, he is still reasonable in his heart and on the surface. He knows that some blood feuds between Song and Jin are unavoidable, but after all, it is himself who leads the bad way. It can only be said that without strong external enemies, the Zhao Guan family is less powerful after all. Xiangren was the country's restraint, otherwise he wouldn't have made a commander of Li Qiong's level kneel down just now.

However, he will just admit his mistakes.

Li Qiong was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked around to make sure there were no extra people, and said sincerely: "Guan, please don't be too harsh on yourself. I was there that day and could see clearly that I would die if I could. The minister is also a father, and when Princess Shouchun changed the minister, she couldn't bear this anger even if she didn't want to be the king of the county."

Zhao Jiu sighed: "You have been away for half your life, but you are still a scholar when you come back. You can stop being the king of the county, but I have to be the official. The Northern Expedition has been completed, but I will always take ten years to solidify this cornerstone. This period It's time for me to relax. But for the sake of God's blessing, I can't issue an edict of sin, so I can only admit my mistake in private, but you will be punished."

"I deserve it for my crime," Li Qiong said hurriedly, cupping his hands.

"Prince of Anyang County, Li Qiong, the governor of the Qingyuan Army, failed to restrain his subordinates. He was fined one year's salary and Enyin was reduced by half. King Zhang Rong of Lu and King Yue Fei of Wei were fined half a year."

Yes, these three Jurchen captives died the most under their rule.This is what annoys Zhao Guanjia the most. Zhang Rong won't go into it. He didn't expect Yue Fei to make this kind of mistake. Although his management was better than Li Qiong's, and his officers would not be so excessive, the mortality rate of Jurchen prisoners was It was almost [-]%, and it was actually higher than the imperial camp Zuo Jun. This made it difficult for the Zhao Guan family to accept it.

After all, that is Yue Fei. The more you value him, the less you can accept him letting you down.

But he neglected that Yue Fei was not a god after all. Although there was no war last year, the former army of the Imperial Battalion had been deterring Korea and the Qing Dynasty, military construction and other coolies. Could it be that Yue Fei let the Jurchen captives go without using his own soldiers as cannon fodder?This is the result of his efforts to restrain himself.

And just like what Zhao Guanjia himself said, he made a bad start. It's not appropriate to say that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

But now it is useless to say this. First, he asked Wang Lun, the minister of Honglu Temple, to make an agreement with the Western Liao envoy to send [-] captives to Western Liao in mid-October (all the Jurchen prisoners under the above three commanders) (including those near Tokyo), the remaining ones require Xiliao to provide enough war horses, cavalry and treasures before they can be handed over. Let's do business, you think I'm being taken advantage of!
That's the diplomatic rhetoric.Xiliao is the western barrier of the country in Zhao Jiu's mind. Even if it cannot be harvested, it deserves unconditional support and funding.The special national conditions of Xiliaona, with tens of thousands of people approaching a land thousands of miles away, and Yelu Dashi's far-sightedness also led to their urgent need for a similar population.However, if the thief does not escape, Zhao Guan's family can control it, but they still have to control it. It is better to control the Hexi Corridor in their own hands.

The envoy from Xiliao also knew that Zhao Guan's family was difficult to deal with, and it was impossible not to bleed.He didn't dare to turn his face when he asked for help, so he could only agree to go back and report to the king.At the same time, Li Qiong sent out two thousand soldiers and horses to escort these people away to the Western Regions.

As for the remaining gaps, Zhao Jiu was also very rogue. He said that the vassal was suffering from serious internal strife. The Chinese emperor's thunderous wrath had allowed the Qing Dynasty and Goryeo to each have a population of 5000, and the Hebule tribe in Eastern Mongolia had a population of 2000.

There is no shortage of people these days. Do you think they are willing?However, the more than 4 country-destroying troops operating in the Yanyun area were enough to make them willing. Kim Bo-seok, the Duke of Kaijing and the actual leader of Goryeo, watched the domestic population being escorted away in tears, with only a few remaining teeth. I was about to bite it into pieces, but in the end I could only sigh deeply.

The willfulness of a big country and the sorrow of a small country are nothing more than this.

But if Zhao Jiu knew about it, he would most likely laugh at his hypocrisy. Why are you pretending to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic? The people sent here are either the criminal slaves from your place or the family members of political enemies. Maybe they will live a better life in Western Liao. At least Yelu Dashi can make them good citizens. .

Of course, Zhao Guan's family admits that they are hooligans, and they don't know how many people have died along the way. Those who play politics are dirty, so don't dislike anyone.

It will take at least next year to complete this matter, but Zhao Guan's family obviously can't wait too long.After he discussed with Shenyou to postpone the wedding ceremony for her and promised to make it more grand, he held another court meeting and announced that he would lead the Imperial Banzhi from Huaxian County all the way north to start regulating the Yellow River.

And the Zaizhi didn't dare to have any opinions, for fear of being thrown home to reflect on it again, they only emphasized the safety of the officials.After all, this was something that had been agreed upon a long time ago. Some time ago, Zhao Guan's family also publicly solicited a flood control plan, which could be presented to both the opposition and the government, so he brought someone with him this time: Jiaxing County Magistrate Zhao Zicheng.

Yes, this person is also a clan member, the sixth generation grandson of Song Taizu.

He, Zhao Boyao, and Zhao Boju, who was deeply loved by Chen Chu for his Beijing paintings of city defenses, Zhao Jiu couldn't help but murmur in his heart, the success rate of Zhao Da's descendants who defeated [-] army states with a dragon stick is really better than that of the Gaoliang River Chariot God The home one is much taller.As for him personally, I'm sorry, but we don't know him well.

So, in the summer of October, Zhao Guan's family left Tokyo with a group of close officials and headed straight for the Yellow River.

　That's right, Zhao Zicheng is Song Xiaozong's father. He didn't have much achievements in history, so I made up the flood control strategy.

　　In addition, Xin Qiji’s father is also going to appear haha

　　I was really lazy some time ago, so I will work hard today
