Chapter 1322 Building a City forever
Zhang Geng was appointed to the Daily Notes and then left the palace.
Zhang Geng rode his horse and was not in front of the mansion, and he had already followed him to greet the mansion from afar.
As soon as he saw Zhang Gen, he ran into the mansion to tell him.
"Erlangjun is back home!"
"Erlangjun is back home!"
Looking at the rich doors that were stained with dusk in the Zhang Mansion, Zhang Geng felt familiar and unfamiliar. He walked into the door and went anywhere else, and sat down in the study room when he was studying.
Seeing the familiar scene and objects are placed according to their own departure, the four words "Farming and Reading" in the hall are still so familiar, while the pine tree in front of the gatehouse is already extremely high, and the needle leaves are at night
The wind rustled.
The door outside the hall was open, and Shiqi Niang and Zhang Cheng were already rushing to the scene.
Zhang Geng came to his senses and bowed when he saw Shiqi Niang.
"Mom, the child is unfilial!"
After saying that, Zhang Geng cried bitterly.
Seventeenth Lady helped Zhang Geng up and looked at him carefully, "Brother Geng is losing weight."
Then Shiqi Niang fainted from tears and said seriously.
"Loyalty, filial piety, integrity and righteousness are the foundation of the family and country."
"If you can be loyal to the country and guard the border for the court for five years, you will be a great filial piety, and you will be a good man in my Zhang family."
After Zhang Cheng said that, Zhang Cheng thought, "Mom is still like this before. I haven't seen her for many years, but I have never forgotten to say it first."
But after five years of not seeing each other, the elder brother who used to be young and did not know the taste of sorrow is now a man with a firm look.
When Zhang Cheng saw Zhang Geng, he called out 'Brother'.
Zhang Geng nodded.
Shiqi Niang turned her back and asked, "Today's Secret, what did Your Majesty say?"
Then Seventeenth Lady signaled to Zhang Cheng and said, "Brother Cheng, please stay and listen."
Zhang Geng then said solemnly: "Mom, Your Majesty said that I would give me the official position of a residence sect."
Then Zhang Geng briefly told Shiqi Niang about the palace.
After hearing this, Shiqiniang said, "The living sects go in and out of the palace and write in the previous words. Wang Zhen, who is in the court today, is a descendant of the former prime minister Wang Wenzheng (Wang Dan).
Zhang Geng said: "Mom, that person who Wang Zhen was ignorant and could not even pass the Jinshi exam. In order to give him a Jinshi, the official ordered the Bachelor's Academy to take the exam for a special exam, but in the end he failed to pass the exam. He left.
Death scene.”
"When he arrived at the Golden Palace, as a residence hall, His Majesty asked him to delete the remarks, and he deleted them without any character."
Qi Niang said, "Brother Geng, the smart son, always has a poor family, but his husband is still poor but his wealth will never be scarce."
"The rules and regulations in the world are all for poor families. And the children of aristocratic families have no rules at all."
"You have only been in office for five years and you will be wearing a robe! How can you say this?"
In the past, Zhang Geng stopped talking, but now he said: "Wang Jinggong and his father wanted to implement the Fangtianjun tax law in the reform, so why did they all end up in the end?"
"The child understands one or two."
Zhang Cheng said on the side: "Second brother, Shi's pen is like a knife but needs someone to hold it!"
Zhang Geng thought to himself that his mother and his younger brother who had only known the timidity in front of him had such experience.
After so many years, Cheng Ge'er has also made progress.
Zhang Geng was relieved but scolded: "Since I have become a living servant, I have my own sense of responsibility."
Zhang Geng said to Shiqi Niang: "Mom. Do you want to see Brother Zhi first?"
Shiqiniang said, "What do you think of Brother Zhi first? Go to Huang's house to visit him first!"
Zhang Geng was stunned and remembered that he had a marriage.
Shiqi Niang said: "You have not listened to your mother over the years, which has delayed the young woman for five years. I will come to my house to apologize tomorrow!"
Zhang Geng immediately said terrified.
Zhang Cheng laughed in his heart. No matter how powerful his brother is outside, he is still afraid of his mother.
...
The wind in the northern border swept the city wall with gravel. As soon as the soap boots of the eunuch provincial apprentice Li Shunju stepped onto the blue brick floor of the Yanzhou Military Affairs Office, a piece of yellow sand shook off.
The eunuch Li Shunju arrived at Yanzhou, where the Fuyan Road governor was located, and met with Xu Xi.
"The Privy Council has refuted the strategy of attacking Mingsha City from Jingyuan Road!"
Xu Xi was shocked when he heard this. It was his previous plan to report to the emperor and Zhang Yue's grand strategy to attack Xia.
He guessed that the case might have been rejected by Cai Que or the government, rather than from the Privy Council.
"Your Majesty's intention is to advance from Hengshan. This year, the Yellow River has flooded with floods and fought against the Liao Kingdom for two years. The national treasury is empty, and it is very involved in the manpower and materials coming out of Hengshan. The court still puts a long effort here."
Li Shunju said as he pulled out Huang Ling's letter from the secret box: "Shen Shumi advocated taking Yinzhou first, but the official should listen to the true seal of the Strategic Envoy."
Xu Xi said: "In the past two years, we have fought with the Khitan in Hedong, but Dangxiang has not been idle and frequently gathered 20,000 to 30,000 troops to enter the country and loot. Our army had to abandon Yinzhou and Youzhou and move people into the border.
Is it okay to take it again now?"
In order to cope with the Liao army's invasion of Hedong, the Song army had to give up Yinzhou and Youzhou and carry out strategic contraction.
Now that you return to Yinzhou, are you sure of Yuzhou?
Li Shunju said: "The Western thieves gathered 50,000 troops last month to invade Huainan Town. Now the imperial court and Dangxiang are intersecting defenses on Jingyuan Road."
"This mountain can take advantage of the situation."
Xu Xi remained silent.
Li Shunju said: "The meaning of the official family is that the mountains are vast and thousands of miles long, and they are fertile soil and can be cultivated, the characters are strong and good at fighting, and they are also beneficial to salt and iron."
"We can make contributions from Yinzhou, and then move to Wuyan City, Youzhou again, Xiazhou, and the three counties advance in succession, including Hengshan, and finally advance in Yanzhou to seize the benefits of the two pools, such as Hengshan's strong soldiers and war horses,
The benefits of the mountains and lakes will be returned to China.”
"This is also the great idea of ​​Shen Shuyuan."
Seeing that Xu Xi still refused, Li Shunju said, "From Hengshan to guide Dangxiang, Xu Jingluo has always been Xu Jingluo's proposal, why didn't he speak this time?"
Xu Xi said: "This dynasty has more defeats and fewer victory when it comes out of Hengshan, and instead of Jingyuan, more victory and fewer defeat when it comes out of Jingyuan, so I have lingering fears."
Li Shunju said, "Xu Jingluo, didn't you hear that the army is inconsistent, one time and another time?"
"Your Majesty is still waiting for Xu Jinglei's reply."
Xu Xi said: "Since I have to leave Hengshan, I can only obey the emperor's order. But the place where the city is built is different from Shen Shumi."
"But Shen Shumi advocated taking Yinzhou first, which is a wonderful thing, but the last time our army withdrew from Yinzhou was burned to the old city. Moreover, although Yinzhou was occupied by Mingtang River and Wuding River, the southeast of the city was the river water. The situation in Yongle City is not as dangerous as the northwest blocking the natural barrier."
Li Shunju said: "Build Yongle City?"
Xu Xi nodded. He had advocated the Hengshan strategy before and had repeatedly verified the situation of Hengshan advantage, but the strategy was rejected by Zhang Yue several times, or Zhang Yue had instructed the emperor to deny it.
His original plan was to build a city in Yongle, rather than build a city in Yinzhou like Shen Kuo.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!
Although Xu Xi has been making great achievements in Jingyuan Road over the years, building a city of Yongle has always been his obsession.
After Zhang Yue removed the prime minister, Cai Que instructed Shen Kuo to re-record the old strategy of Hengshan, which clearly wanted to leave the mark of the new party in the war situation in the northwest.
Then follow the Zhangyue strategy to attack Mingsha City from Jingyuan Road. The gains are small, but Cai Que's contributions are not revealed. Therefore, we have to re-propose the Hengshan strategy plan that Zhang Yue was stranded several times during the phase.
The Hengshan strategy was first made by Fan Zhongyan, later Han Jiang and Zhong Yan advocated it, and then Shen Kuo and Xu Xi.
But now Xu Xi is no longer so persistent about Hengshan strategy.
Xu Xi knew this clearly, so he proposed to build Yongle City, which was the first plan to be rejected by Zhang Yue at the same time.
Li Shunju thought to himself that although this plan is different from what Shen Kuo said about this.
However, the general direction of implementing the Yokoyama strategy is consistent, but there are adjustments in details.
Although Shen Kuo was the Privy Councilor, the official family had never trusted him. On the contrary, the official family had always trusted Xu Xi, otherwise he would not have bypassed Shen Kuo to ask Xu Xi. Although commanding above the level has always been a taboo for military strategists, For today's students, it's a common practice.
"Building Yongle City is the beginning of the strategy of setting the five states in the management of the difficulties!" Li Shunju pondered for a moment and said, "I am now urgently passing the Majesty to decide this matter."
The gold medal urgent delivery is 800 miles of urgent delivery.
The ordinary emergency delivery is 600 miles.
Thanks to Zhang Yue's administration over the years, the imperial court repaired the roads in Bianjing and Shaanxi. The envoy brought back the news after only 17 days of traveling back and forth.
Of course, the officials were still convening ministers from the three provinces and one court to discuss this, and it was delayed for a day.
The result of the collective discussion was that the court agreed to Xu Xi's plan to build the city Yongle, and at the same time rejected Shen Kuo's plan to build the city Yinzhou.
At the same time, the imperial court also decided to set up six villages in Yongle Tower, Shengtaping, Modian City, Shibao, Wuyan to Great Wall Ridge, from Beiwangchuan, Lingmei, Motel, and Buniya The fort is set up with six forts.
The biggest of the village is the city surrounds nine hundred steps and the smallest of five hundred steps. One village employs more than 130,000 labor.
The largest fort is the city circumference of 200 steps, and the smaller one is a hundred steps, and a fort is employed for three thousand.
From this we can see that the official family intends to spend a lot of money and use Yongle City as the fundamental place to advance towards Hengshan again and again.
The imperial eunuch was sent by the eunuch Zhang Yuqin, and he was also the supervisor of Xu Xi's army to send troops to Hengshan. In order to further issue the troops, the officials also ordered Xu Xi to dictate that now that they have been in charge of the general, they will fight the soldiers, and they will be rewarded and punished.
, strive to implement the words that were hunched the day before yesterday and wait for the extraordinary achievements.
Xu Xi and Zhang Shunju received the imperial edict of the official family and immediately summoned the generals of Fuyan Road to announce the grand strategy of establishing the city of Yongle and capturing Hengshan.
However, as soon as it was announced, it was opposed by many generals.
All the generals on the Fuyan Road were on the road. In the past, the imperial court could get Xihe Road and Huanqing Road and the two troops were supported at any time, but how could other routes cooperate when leaving the Fuyan Road?
This returns to the situation where the five troops fought on their own.
At the same time, facing the oppression of the Liao Kingdom, Hedong Road was unable to send troops and soldiers to support him.
Not only was the strategy of leaving Hengshan opposed by all generals, but also the issue of site selection for building a city in Yongle was also opposed by all generals.
Yongle City is located west of Mizhichuan and east of Youzhou, with the help of Hengshan. Both sides are high mountains and ridges, and only one road can open to cars and horses. Building a city here has its advantages, but it is also a must-fight place for Dangxiang people.
There is no drinking water in the city, only the wet beaches of Wuding River, which flood from time to time, making the water supply extremely unstable.
Veteran Qu Zhen said bluntly: "The place where Yongle is killed is killed. There are no wells and springs in the city, so wet beaches can only get water. Back then, Mr. Fan Wenzheng didn't dare to make a move here. Is the strategic commander going to use the blood of the soldiers to flood the city?"
Faced with unanimous opposition from the generals, Li Shunju and Xu Xi also looked extremely ugly.
While resting, Li Shunju asked, "Xu Jingluo, why do the generals object to this?"
Xu Xi said: "I have only been in office for two months. These generals are old subordinates of Zhong Shidao, so I cannot convince the public."
Li Shunju said: "Since the emperor's order is here, why bother with everyone?"
Xu Xi looked at Li Shun and said to himself, I want you to teach me how to do things.
Xu Xi returned to the hall and immediately took out the emperor's imperial letter. The generals on Fuyan Road saw that it was the emperor who personally instructed the plan, and they did not dare to say anything at the moment. However, several generals still said, "The city of Yongle City will die!"
Seeing this, Xu Xi had no choice but to imprison these generals and wait until after the war.
After being taken out of the hall, the generals looked at each other and said with a smile: "My grandson Xu actually suffered from his own harm."
Finally, through the plan, the emperor issued a letter to the emperor at the same time, asking Shen Kuo to move to Yanzhou to take charge, and at the same time, all troops and horses cooperated with the Fuyan Road operation.
But everyone knows that this is empty talk.
After the Song army occupied Tiandu Mountain, Jingyuan Road, Xihe Road, and Huanqing Road can reach this all the troops at any time, but in addition to Hedong Road, the troops can also help others when they leave Fuyan Road, and other routes are blocked by mountains and rivers.
It was very inconvenient. Even if the rescue troops arrived, the war was almost over. What's more, this was an outside battle.
In fact, this returns to a situation where the strategy is to pick the party and the country.
July.
Xu Xi, Li Shunju, Qu Zhen and other more than ten generals of the Han Dynasty led their troops to 80,000 in front, middle and rear troops to build a city in Yongle City. They also had 160,000 servants, totaling 250,000 and 250,000 troops.
When the first shovel of loess breaks through the loess in Yongle City.
Xu Xi looked at the baggage carriage winding like a snake on the Mizhi River, and the turbid water of Wuding River was wrapped in mud and sand.
Chapter completed!
