At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 24 The Big Picture
"The big households on the rooftop were afraid that their fields would be expropriated, so they joined forces to make a plan. They got the soldiers drunk in the name of labor and suddenly launched an attack... Of the 500 people, less than [-] broke out, and the rest were all dead..."

"Absurd!" Zhao Shi angrily threw down the memorial and cursed: "You are the commander-in-chief of an army, but you ignore military discipline, abandon your duties, and lose your troops and humiliate the country. What crime should you do?"

"Capital crime!" Zhang Shenghu pressed his head to the ground, not daring to argue.

Out of 500 men, more than 900 were lost in the battle, which can be said to be the annihilation of the entire army. They also lost the city they were guarding, so they should be executed for the crime.

"Your Majesty, calm down." Su Liuyi advised: "Zhang Shenghu deserves to be punished for his crime. However, he has just made meritorious service not long ago, and the country is worthy of employing people, so he can be allowed to take advantage of his crime and make meritorious service."

"In this case, all positions will be removed and sent to Liu Shiyong as a pawn..."

"I kowtow to thank Tianen. If you drink again, please raise your head to see me." Zhang Shenghu kowtowed quickly.

A pawn is a pawn. As long as his life is still there, he can get his official position back by killing a few more Yuan soldiers.

"Don't be too happy too soon." Zhao Shi said fiercely: "Go back and copy the Military Classics and Sun Tzu's Art of War a hundred times each. I will check them personally. If there is any mistake or omission, you will be punished!"

"I kowtow to express my gratitude for your majesty's care." Zhang Shenghu kowtowed again, but his face was miserable, and he would feel relieved if he didn't look back again.

With his bravery, he was still in control at the time when the country was employing people, all because of his lack of literacy. Now that he is asked to copy books, Sun Tzu's art of war is not bad. After all, the number of words is not many, and the martial arts always... a hundred times a hundred times .

Zhao Shi cursed: "Go back and tell Liu Shiyong to kill him!"

"Your Majesty, calm down." Chen Yizhong advised: "This matter is said to be caused by the influence of the Wenzhou story. Liu Shiyong should be asked to postpone his actions until the local stability is settled before taking action."

"Your Majesty." Su Liuyi said: "If you are victorious and attack without being lazy in your efforts, it will be unlucky. The order is 'Fei Liu'. Therefore, it is said: A wise leader will take care of it, and a good general will be lazy. If it is not advantageous, he will not move. If he has to gain, he will not use it. If it is not danger, he will not fight." , the Lord cannot be angry and raise an army, and the general cannot be angry and attack.

At present, the southern part of Taizhou is following Wenzhou's example. The local area is inherently unstable. Even if Tiantai County is occupied, local powerful people will swarm in. It may not be enough to attack the city, but it will be enough to disturb the grain roads. If they collude with the Yuanlu again, the entire army will be annihilated. .

Your Majesty, please issue an edict to order Liu Shiyong, Lin Jingxi and others to act with caution. "

Compared with Chen Yizhong, Zhao trusted Su Liuyi more and was willing to listen to his opinions. This was not because Su Liuyi was the eighth descendant of Su Dongpo and had been loyal for generations, but because when he arrived at Su Liuyi, he followed Lu Wende to guard Jing when he was just a Jinshi at the age of 28. Hu'ezhou has been handling military affairs in the following days and has rich military experience.

Zhao Shi let out a sigh of relief and said, "Let's do it like this, and tell Liu Shiyong and Lin Jingxi not to implicate innocent people in this matter."

"Your Majesty is wise." Su Liuyi said again: "In addition, Fujian and Guangdong should be informed to strengthen their vigilance to prevent the Tiantai incident from happening again."

Jiang Wanzai was gaining momentum and was about to occupy all of Fujian. In order to strengthen his control over the local area, Liu Fu was appointed as the Fujian pacification envoy in Quanzhou, and Zhao Jifu was appointed as the inspection envoy in Jianningfu, plus Fuzhou's establishment envoy Yang Liangjie and transfer envoy. Zhao Ming, the four of them each perform their own duties. Even if Jiang Wanzai goes on an expedition to Jiangxi, they can still ensure that the road to Fujian is as stable as Mount Tai.

Chen Yizhong said: "Officials on Fujian Road have been prepared. On Guangnan East Road, only Jiang Qiu and Xie Fangde are in charge of the overall situation and will send officials to govern it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a guard came in and said, "Your Majesty, urgent report from Fuzhou!"

"Send it up." Zhao Shi said.

Three days ago, Lu Ge, the magistrate of Lianjiang County, colluded with local powerful people to rebel, and organized more than [-] people to attack Min County, the seat of Fuzhou.

Min County was unprepared and the rebels broke into the city. Yang Liangjie led the army to resist desperately. However, the incident happened in a hurry and there were not many troops gathered. They could only fight and retreat. They were about to be expelled from the city. An army came out from behind the rebels. .

Suffering attacks from front and back, the rebels collapsed, Lu Ge disappeared, and all the major families fled back to their countryside.

"After investigation, Lu Ge was dissatisfied with the imperial court's investigation of large households and taking away their fields for cultivation by the common people. He colluded with local powerful people to raise troops and wanted to kidnap the Queen Mother to support King Ning on the throne.

Those who supported Fuzhou were the local villagers of Min County. The land distribution to each household in Min County had been completed. The people were grateful for His Majesty's kindness, so they responded to the call of Zhu Mu's younger brother, Zhu Xian, to be diligent.I accidentally inspected the place. Although Queen Mother Ning and Prince Ning are fine, Count Yu Rusi and Marquis Yang Liangjie were both seriously injured. The people in the city were seriously injured, and there were huge losses of houses and property. It is an unpardonable crime. Please forgive me..."

After reading the memorial, Zhao Shi breathed a sigh of relief and handed the memorial to Chen Yizhong.

Chen Yizhong read it and gave it to Lu Xiufu and others.

"Your Majesty." Xu Chen, who had been waiting for a solution, finally got the chance to speak and said: "This matter originated from the division of land and was determined by the division of land, which proves that what your Majesty said is true.

It is a crime to take away the land of powerful people, but it is indeed a crime to divide the land of common people. The story of Tiantai proves that the soldiers are brave enough to fight to the death, and the incident in Fuzhou proves that the people can be relied on.

It's just that the people are poorly informed and can easily be deceived by the local powerful, so Lian Jiang can entangle more than [-] people.

I am a guilty person and should not say too much, but I dare not remain silent. I just ask your Majesty to send people to spread among the people to promote the new policy! "

Zhao Shi said: "You were ordered to take charge of the place, and you were supposed to bring peace to the land and herdsmen. However, you failed to consider the people's sentiments and mistakenly believed in traitors, which resulted in the loss of the city. Even if there was a reason for the incident, the responsibility for the oversight must not go unpunished.

Nian'er had meritorious service in promoting the division of land, and was demoted to Fuzhou Hucao, who was guilty of meritorious service. "

"I thank Tianen." Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He was extremely grateful that he was not dismissed from his post and exiled.

Zhao was helpless. If it was according to his mood, he would have wanted to tear Zhang Shenghu and Xu Chen into pieces, but it was impossible.

Not to mention that it was the right time to employ people, nor that the two of them had just made great achievements. It was just that the others were severely punished when they saw that they had lost a city. They would not dare to come back if they lost a city in the future. They would just run away or even invest money. If things go on like this, it is very likely that they will surrender when they see the Yuan army.

In the final analysis, the most important task now is to fight against Meng Yuan, and everything must be based on this.

After dealing with Xu Chen, Zhao Shi asked: "How about putting the Imperial City Division in charge of mobilizing the people?"

"This matter is very dangerous, and Xiao Zuo should be responsible." Su Liuyi said.

Zhao Shi said: "Urge Zhang Shuangguo to speed up, return to the industry as soon as possible, and establish the Imperial City Division."

After the ministers accepted the order, Chen Yizhong said again: "The Emperor and Heaven have blessed you. The Queen Mother and King Ning are safe and sound. Your Majesty will send an edict to commend Zhu You and his bravery."

Zhao Shi asked: "Who is Zhu Miao? Can the ministers tell you his origin?"

Chen Yizhong replied: "Zhu Mu has never been an official, so there is no information. However, Zhu Mu is the grandson of Zhu Zhuoyi, the prime minister of Shaoxing. He was a Jinshi in the 1274th year of Xianchun ([-]). He was first awarded the title of Registrar of Anxi County. Because of his outstanding political performance, he was moved to Longxing Prefecture in Jiangxi Province. , whereabouts are currently unknown.”

Zhao Shi said: "Such loyal and righteous people should be promoted out of the ordinary. Those who have outstanding performance in Xuan Zhu's seals and righteous bravery will be the best, and I will personally commend them."

In addition, some officials discussed and rewarded Yang Liangjie, Yu Rusi, and Fuzhou officials. "

"I shall make arrangements myself." Chen Yizhong responded.

Zhang Shenghu and Xu Chen both deserved their crimes and made meritorious service. Yang Liangjie and others had meritorious service in protecting the Queen Mother and Prince Ning. Of course they should be rewarded, even though Yang Liangjie and others beat them like shit.

Although Fuzhou is located in the rear area and has only [-] troops stationed there, it has gunpowder and they are all regular troops. The city was almost taken over by [-] ragtag troops. It really couldn't be worse.

But the overall situation is such that we can't guard the rear with those who can fight, we can only barely maintain it.
