Compete for the Song Dynasty

Jiang Youdao was frightened by Wang Pang's words, thinking, this kid has an unstable personality, I can't afford to provoke him, can I still hide him?Early the next day, he packed his bags, bid farewell and returned to Shaozhou.Jiang Youdao was about to leave, the county palace left two attendants, took money from the king, and spent every day eating, drinking and having fun in Yongzhou, enjoying himself at leisure.Anyway, Wang Pang couldn't go far, and Wang Pang was accompanied by Nan Jifeng himself.

Now Wang Pang's movements are free. Nan Jifeng took Wang Pang from Bolang, Long'an County, Zuojiang River upstream, to Dingsi Mountain, Yongning District, Yongjiang (Bachi River), and then to Pinglang, Heng County, Yujiang River. Along the Qiujiang River, I walked around everywhere.Yongning County was placed under Yongzhou, which governed Xuanhua, Wuyuan and other counties.Yongzhou Governor's Mansion is also in charge of more than 60 Jimi prefectures, counties and caves in the Zuojiang, Hongshuihe and Longjiang areas.

On this day, a group of people came to Guangyuan Prefecture, and two young people walked in the front: a 20-year-old man with sharp and deep eyes on a sharp face, black hair tied with a white ribbon, and a The snow-white robe, with the legs turned up, was tucked into the white jade belt around the waist.Riding a white war horse under his crotch, passers-by couldn't help but pay more attention to this man and horse; beside him was a military general, with a medium build and slightly dark skin, with thick eyebrows and big eyes on his dark face, The lips were tightly closed, revealing this majesty.There were more than a dozen guards behind them.

Not far ahead is the Yujiang River, with lofty mountains on both sides, criss-crossing valleys, strange peaks and rocks in various shapes and shapes, and the scenery is beautiful and magnificent.Nan Jifeng waved his hand to signal the guard behind him to stop.He and Wang Pang got off their horses and walked towards the river.The mountains, rivers, rivers and forests in front of him brought back Nan Jifeng's memories. He remembered the scene when his father resisted Cochin.Standing by the river, he pointed to the downstream and said to the king: "Look, my lord, this is Guangyuan. It used to belong to Yongzhou, but after Jiaozhi established itself, it often invaded and extorted violently from this place. The court did not People in Guangyuan have suffered.”

This is Da Song's territory?Wang Pang looked at the turbulent Yujiang River and the two cliffs with strange rocks in front of him, and suddenly understood what a big historical mistake Song Shenzong would make in a few years.Due to the mistakes of Song Shenzong in the future, after thousands of years, this place will be called Guangyuan County, and it will become a place in Vietnam. ), west to Silang Prefecture (Xialang, Gaoping, Vietnam), and north to Temodong (Guangnan, Funing and other counties in Yunnan Province), with a total area of ​​about 6 square kilometers. [

"It's such a good place, thanks to the Great Nan Wang guarding and resisting Jiaozhi, otherwise it will fall into the hands of Jiaozhi people in the future, and if you want it, you will never come back?!" Wang Bang couldn't help sighing.

"Yes, Jiaozhi people are very greedy. I heard from my father that in the second year of Baoyuan in the Northern Song Dynasty (1039), Guangyuan Prefecture was forced to "present" a piece of raw gold weighing 110 taels to Jiaozhi once! The common people guard the gold mines, but they suffer unspeakably."

The corner of Wang Pang's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of contempt: "People say that you can eat mountains by relying on mountains, but if you want to eat mountains, you have to have a backer. In the Song Dynasty, the people on the mountain were unreliable, and even good gold and silver mountains would fall into the hands of others." , Even guarding a golden mountain, I have worked hard for a long time, but I don't know who I am working hard for!"

Nan Jifeng turned his head and looked at the king: "My lord, now the imperial court is citing "faraway" and "miasma" (note: a disease caused by feeling miasma) as the excuse that Guangyuan Prefecture is remote and difficult to defend. With less military pay, I’m only worried that if I do my father’s old way in the future, I’m afraid this place will fall into Jiaozhi’s hands again.”

"This reason is very powerful. We just don't send troops now. In ten years or so, when King Ying becomes Song Shenzong, he will hand over this place to Jiaozhi!" Wang Pang said without regret, pointing to the great rivers and mountains in front of him.

Nan Jifeng showed a surprised look: "Young master, when did you learn the technique of divination, can you be able to predict the prophet? Since you already know it, hurry up and think of a way!"

Wang Pang shook his head. Unless he guards one side of such a large piece of land, it would be a fantasy to buy land bit by bit with his current financial resources, and even if there is land, so what?Not the same without a backer?

Nan Jifeng was a little anxious: "Young master, since you know that this land is going to fall into the hands of others, don't you turn a blind eye to it? You said Qiang Song, can't you even keep a piece of land?"

Wang Pang glanced at Nan Jifeng, and Nan Jifeng stopped talking. Fortunately, there was no one around them.Otherwise people will wonder how the general can be afraid of such a young man with no official position.Others didn't understand, it was because they didn't stand in front of the king, didn't see the majesty of the cold light in his eyes, and didn't see his decision.But when Wang Pang looked at Nan Jifeng at this moment, he didn't glare at him, but just glanced at him, and he had a plan in a blink of an eye.

Wang Pang suddenly asked, "I want every inch of land here, how can you do it?"

"Then, then kill them back and establish the Great Southern Kingdom."

"Joke! What do you use to raise land? What do you use to deal with Jiaozhi and Dasong. There is Dasong in the north, Dali in the east, and Jiaozhi in the southwest. How can there be a land like the Great Southern Kingdom?" Wang Pang's words were unquestionable, and Nan Jifeng scratched his head. : "Young master, I know you have a solution, you should say it quickly!"

"Listen to me, you will never stand on your own feet, and you will always be attached to Da Song. If you can do this, after King Baoying successfully ascends the throne, I will ask King Ying to seal this land to you! You come to guard it, and I will raise it! The people here A mountain and a river belong to you and my brother. There is no need for Da Song to send troops, and Da Song will never let him be sacrificed to Jiaozhi." Wang Pang said word by word.

"Okay! If we can do that, how to govern one side is up to my brother. I just keep Guangyuan and don't let Jiaozhi get involved again!"

Wang Pang stretched out his hand with a smile, Nan Jifeng understood, and with a "pop", the two clapped their hands together to form an alliance.The county king in Shaozhou at this time must have never imagined that Wang Pang's going to Yongzhou was a compromise move, and his real goal was the land under his feet, Guangyuan.There are rich products here, especially gold mines. Nan Jifeng wants to protect the land of his hometown, while Wang Pang thinks about the country of Song Dynasty and its exhausted resources.

In the city of Guangyuanzhou, when people heard that Nan Jifeng was coming, they all ran to the street to see the descendants of the hero of the past.Everyone knows that now that Nan Jifeng is here, Guangyuan will not be disturbed by Cochin anymore.Even the magistrate personally went out of the city to meet Nan Jifeng.Nan Jifeng introduced to everyone that the person next to him was his savior. When Wang Pang stated the truth about Nong Zhigao's forced uprising, the imperial court lenient and appointed him an official post.Moreover, he sent troops to attack the Japanese slaves, and it was this prince who helped him.The city suddenly became lively, and the people sang and danced to welcome them.Now Wang Pang is more confident, unexpectedly Nan Jifeng has such popularity in Guangyuan.

For a moment, Wang Pang recalled the scene when he was in the Jurchen tribe. Wanyan Wugunai hosted a banquet to entertain him, and the tribesmen also sang and danced around the bonfire. These ethnic minorities rarely have the restraint of the Han people, and the heroism and enthusiasm are also beyond the reach of many Han people. Than.I don't know how Wanyan impeaches Libo now?There is also Li Liangzuo from the west, this kid should not mess around, otherwise it would be a pity to die young.

According to the plan, Wang Pang bought some mountain land in Guangyuan. The local people heard that Wang Pang was buying real estate, and they rushed to his house.Wang Pang made good use of the local people, just like the original Jinxiang Mansion, selecting the person in charge, arranging for the workers' families, and setting up schools and medical centers at the same time.It took almost a month, and everything has been taken care of in an orderly manner.After many screenings by Wang Pang, a man named Cen Yong was finally selected as the steward of this place among these people.This man is 36 and seven years old, and his appearance is not good, but he has studied for several years, and he is honest and honest. This man's filial piety is well-known in the local area, so he is also respected by the local people.

After everything was properly arranged, Wang Pang told Nan Jifeng that once he heard that the imperial court had established a crown prince, he could unite with Sun Mian and Yu Jing.These two people are Di Qing's former subordinates, let them contain Lianzhou and Yingzhou.These two prefectures are close to Shaozhou. As long as these two prefectures are restrained, it is difficult for the county king Zhao Zongmian to make big moves for a while.And Wang Pang himself, after settling down, went back to Shaozhou to keep an eye on the actions of the county king. [

Wang Pang knew that all he did was for King Ying to ascend the throne of Song Emperor smoothly.

At this time King Ying had returned to the capital, and Yingzong and Empress Gao couldn't help weeping with joy when they saw that King Ying had returned safely.He just reproached and said a few things that made his parents worry. King Ying also knew the danger of this trip. Putting his own life on the sidelines, he almost caused a storm in the imperial court to fight for the throne. This is a big deal.And this road, although it is for fun, but also see that the people's livelihood and the court are very different.What's more, from the matter of the county king, seeing the various disadvantages of the imperial court's use of soldiers, and the suffering of the common people's labor and taxation in Linchuan, I am very considerate of my father's decision not to send troops to fight with Xixia.

Song Yingzong and King Ying's father and son had a heart-to-heart relationship, and King Ying told his father what Wang Pang told him about the problems facing Song Dynasty.Yingzong shuddered in his heart when he heard this, for he had seen all the ills of the Great Song Dynasty so thoroughly.

Seeing his father's complexion darkened, King Ying Zhao Zhongzhen suddenly remembered that Wang Pang told himself not to tell his father that this was what Wang Pang said. A lot of things have happened, thanks to Wang Pang’s constant protection of the child’s safety. Although he resigned from office, he still cares about Da Song. My ministers see that he has absolutely no rebellious intentions, and even though he usually acts pervertedly, it is all for the benefit of Da Song.”

"Hmph, don't say any more!" Emperor Yingzong became angry when he thought of this incident. This Wang Pang knew the whereabouts of King Ying but did not report it. I haven't punished him yet.But what Zhao Zhongzhen said makes sense, and although Wang Pang disagrees with him, he is still very loyal to his son Zhao Zhongzhen, and if he will keep Zhongzhen in the future, he can rest assured.What's more, the disadvantages of the Great Song Dynasty mentioned by Wang Pang were exactly what he wanted to change, but others supported him.But he still said calmly: "This time, I will not pursue him for the sake of your safe return. But you remember, if one day you are in power in the future, you must never let the king take charge military power!"
