The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 410 Overcoming the Guang'an Army

Looking at the thoughtful Grand Master Jia.Xie Daoqing went on to say: "After all, the official family is still young. Young people. They have their own ideas of young people. They are different from our older generation's ideas. This is not a bad thing. Judging from the results of the past two years The signs of revival in the Great Song Dynasty have appeared. Jia Aiqing. You are the elder of our dynasty. You have rich experience in politics. You should support the official’s new policy together with this palace. In this way, you will live up to the last emperor’s entrustment. Of course. If you encounter something inappropriate .It is also necessary to mention a few points. To prevent the officials from going into misunderstandings."

Jia Sidao listened.It seems to be relieved a lot.Respectfully: "Yes. Queen Mother. The old minister respectfully obeys the Queen Mother's order."

Xie Daoqing shook his head slightly: "Time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, you and I are both over 50 years old. In the past few decades, the political situation has changed frequently. Seeing that the golden man was destroyed. I flashed towards the opportunity. But it appeared again A more powerful and barbaric Mongolia was created. And the court has never been peaceful. When the first emperor was in power, Shi Miyuan was in power first. Later, Yan, Ma, Ding, and Dong rebelled. The government is difficult to be clear. Fortunately, the officials are struggling. The Great Song Dynasty is flourishing day by day. The weather is magnificent. We can also rest assured to retreat behind the scenes. I believe that the day of my dynasty’s rejuvenation will definitely come true in the official dynasty.”

Speaking of which.Xie Daoqing personally filled Jia Sidao's cup with tea.laughed. "The official said. Keep pace with the times. Look forward. I think this sentence is very good. Although we are old, we must keep up with the development of society. Progress with the times. The past is the past. Let it pass. Any disputes over imperial power, prime minister, and later power have become history. Grand Master, any unpleasant things between you and the officials in the past have passed away. From now on, there will only be the dispute between Song and Mongolia. Nothing else. Take ten thousand steps back and talk about it. With me here, I can protect you well."

Xie Daoqing's words are full of words from later generations.Although it is all learned from me.But it can also be seen that she is not a stubborn queen mother.

Jia Sidao in history after being exiled.The escort officer, Kuaiji County Captain Zheng Huchen repeatedly urged him to commit suicide.He said: "The emperor promised me not to die." Maybe it came from today's conversation.

At the court meeting on February 24.I received a memorial from the Sichuan Military Region.since February.Since I implemented the policy of giving priority to military affairs.During the daily court meeting.They are the first to discuss matters related to military affairs.

Lu Xiufu reported: "Your Majesty. The Military Affairs Council received a memorial from the Sichuan Military Region in the early hours of this morning. The envoy General Gao, the deputy envoy General Zhang Jue, and the Sichuan comfort envoy and governor Zan Wanshou issued a memorial to Your Majesty. Our army conquered the entire territory of the Guang'an Army in mid-February."

Guang'an Army.It belongs to Tongchuanfu Road.It is located between Chengdu Fu Road (Chengdu) and Kuizhou Road (Chongqing).The territory under its jurisdiction is approximately equivalent to Guang'an, Huaying City and Yuechi County in Sichuan Province in later generations.The governing place is Qujiang County (now Guang'an City).In the north of Chongqing.east of Chengdu.Qujiang Mansion in the north of the Guang'an Army was occupied by the Mongols seven years ago.The Shunqing Mansion in the south-central part belonged to the Song Dynasty.end of last year.Daliang City on the outskirts of Qujiang Mansion has been conquered by Zhang Jue's army.Therefore, only Qujiang is still in the hands of the Mongols in the entire Guang'an Army.

for decades.Song Meng did not invest a lot of troops in the Guang'an Army.But wars broke out frequently.In the past two years, it has become the most frequently fought place in Sichuan.Small frictions are always there.in a sense.The Guang'an Army is the training ground for Song and Mongolia.

I was quite excited: "There is good news early in the morning. Lu Aiqing. Read the memorial. Make everyone happy."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Lu Xiufu read. "Chen Gaoda, Chen Zhang Jue, and Chen Zan Wanshou wrote to His Majesty. Our army conquered Qujiang on February 120th in the third year of Xianchun. Recovered the entire territory of the Guang'an Army. In this battle, more than 890 enemies were wiped out. [-] prisoners People. Our army suffered [-] and six casualties. The details are recorded in the battle report.”

"It seems that the Mongols have nothing to fear. Lu Aiqing. Submit the battle report. I will review it immediately after the court meeting."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

"The Guang'an Army has been in war for a long time. Now it must be taken back. Pass on my will. Rename the Guang'an Army to the Ningxi Army. Congratulations on the recovery."

After dealing with military affairs.I asked Ruan Dengbing: "Ruan Aiqing. How popular is the Huaxia coin in the Song Dynasty?"

"Return to Your Majesty. The people in Lin'an City and the surrounding big towns have fully accepted it. In addition, the large transactions between merchants in our dynasty are basically using Huaxia coins. It is expected that before the end of March this year. The branch of Yinzhuang will It will be perfected in all the state capitals of our dynasty. It will be perfected at the county level before the end of the year. It will take another one or two years at most. Huaxia currency can be popularized in our dynasty.”

"Okay. Ruan Aiqing. Remember not to make the mistake of flooding Jiaozi, Huizi and other banknotes again. It is necessary to ensure the credit of Huaxia coins in the field of circulation. Increase publicity through the media. Let all the people in my court know. At the same time, Yinzhuang must also ensure that The free exchange of other currencies such as Huaxia currency and gold, silver and copper coins. After the Huaxia currency is basically accepted in all parts of the country, the circulation of other currencies will be cancelled.”

"Yes. I understand."

"Wen Aiqing. How is the reform of the provincial system going?"

Wen Tianxiang said: "Return to Your Majesty. At present, seven regions have completed the reform of the provincial system. These seven regions are Fujian Province, Jiangxi Province, Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province, Hunan Province, Jiangsu Province and Anhui Province. The remaining The provincial capitals of Sichuan, Hubei, Zhejiang and Guizhou are to be completed by the end of this year."

"En. In the early stage of restructuring, the problems encountered should be summarized in time and corrected in time to speed up the subsequent restructuring. In addition, preparations should also be made for the reserve work of the backup envoys in various places. Once the north is restored, the imperial court A large number of capable border ministers are needed."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wen Tianxiang continued to play. "Your Majesty. During the restructuring of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces. Because the name of the highest official in the province and the highest official in the military region are suspected to be duplicated. For example, the administrative region where the Yangzhou Military Region is located is Jiangsu Province. Lord Li Tingzhi's official title is set by the system. Envoy. And the highest administrative official in Jiangsu Province is also called Zhizhishi. Therefore, the Government Affairs Council proposed. Can the name be changed uniformly.”

"Of course. The name is just for convenience. How do you think the Government Affairs Council will change it?"

"Your Majesty. After discussion, the Government Affairs Council thinks that the easiest way is the name used by Your Majesty in the Royal Forest Army. Army Commander, Division Commander, etc. So. Is it possible to call the envoys of each province the governors and the appeasement envoys to be the deputy governors?" . Then to the following states. You can be called the governor. When you go to the county, you can be called the county magistrate.”

This is the same as the name of later generations.I said: "Wen Aiqing. Your government affairs department will make a detailed plan first. I will discuss it with you at that time."

"Yes. Your Majesty."

"Jiang Aiqing, Ministry of Education. Are you ready for this year's Science and Technology Month?"

Jiang Wanli said: "Return to Your Majesty. The preparations have been completed. With the experience of last year, this year's Science and Technology Month will definitely be more complete."

"Very good. Liao Aiqing, Ministry of Commerce. How is the situation of state-owned commercial banks?"

Liao Yingzhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce, said: "Your Majesty, according to the statistics at the end of the year. Last year, almost all state-owned commercial banks in my country were in a state of capital preservation. Some state-owned commercial banks in some places even suffered losses. The main reason is the cost of goods. And the rise of labor costs. Now our economy is developing rapidly. The prices of various goods and labor costs have increased to varying degrees. Therefore, the Ministry of Commerce proposed. Whether it is possible to slightly increase the selling prices of state-owned commercial firms."

I thought for a while and said: "For the time being, the original price of the daily necessities sold in the state-owned commercial firms will be maintained. If there is a loss, the Ministry of Households will allocate funds to subsidize it. When the economy in my direction reaches a higher level, I will consider adjusting the price. If the income of the people increases by one Cheng. Prices have also risen by [-]%. It is no different from before.”

"With the development of the economy, prices will definitely show an upward trend. But this increase should not exceed the growth rate of people's income. Otherwise, the people will not feel the immediate benefits brought to them by economic development. At the end of last year The Government Council has added a new department called the Department of Economics. This department will start to calculate the price index every quarter from this year. And gradually transition to monthly calculation. Only based on the changes in the price index can scientifically formulate relevant The macro policy of price control."

"Yes. Your Majesty. I obey the order."

"Everyone loves you. If you have a book, you will play it. If you don't have a book, you will retreat."

Downwards.My name is Lu Xiufu.Back to the Royal Study Room together.Carefully read the Sichuan Military Region's battle report on regaining the entire territory of the Guang'an Army.

Late November last year.After General Zhang Jue regained Daliang City of Guang'an Army.The area around the Guang'an army has been quiet for more than two months.The third day of February.About 3000 Mongolian troops raided Yuechi County in the Shunqing Prefecture of the Guang'an Army.Yang Li, the chief garrison general in the city, was ill.Lieutenant General Han Peng led [-] guards and the regiment defense in the city to meet the enemy bravely.Two days of fierce fighting.More than [-] enemies were injured.Nearly half of our troops suffered casualties.General Han Peng saw that he was defeated.So they forcibly kidnapped Yang Li.He took the initiative to withdraw from Yuechi.

After receiving the report.Zan Wanshou, the Sichuan appeasement envoy who was inspecting Shunqing Prefecture, informed Zhang Jue in Chongqing.On the one hand, he led 500 elite soldiers from Shunqing Mansion to Yuechi immediately for support.Half way to join Yang Li and Han Peng.And interrogated several prisoners captured by Han Peng.Quite a coincidence.One of them was a centurion in the Mongol-Han army.The origin of this centurion is in Shunqing Mansion.His grandfather once worked as a groom under Cao Youwen, a famous general in central Sichuan.And the chief general of the Shunqing Army is the descendant of Cao Youwen.From the mouth of the centurion.The Mongolian army attacking Yuechi was the garrison of Qujiang Mansion.Qujiang Mansion has a total of 500 Mongolian defenders.Among them, [-] belonged to the Han and Jin mixed soldiers.Only [-] of them were soldiers from the Western Regions Semu in the Mongolian army.The original Qujiang garrison was incorporated into the Mongolian West Road Army.Has been transferred to other regions.The troops stationed in Qujiang were made up of recruits drawn from the surrounding area.Belonging to the lower ranks of the Mongolian army.I don't know what kind of nerves the commander of the army has.Insist on attacking Yuechi.
