Shao Song

　　 In the winter of the first year of Jianyan, with the Yellow River as the dividing line, people on both sides of the river were everywhere going south, as if they wanted to follow the tracks of migratory birds.

　　 It's just that some of them are active, some are passive, some are initiators, some are followers, some are expelled, and then some are high-spirited, some are embarrassed, some are dejected, some are insensitive.

On this day in mid-October, when Zhang Xian, who was crying into a slap dog, was tied to the horse by Tang Huai, and then put his hands on the ferry, it was almost the same day, hundreds of miles away, our Zhao Guan’s family was also like A reachable duck who can only think begins a numb migration.

　　 Zhao Jiu and the entire Song Xingzai were not scared away by the Jin Jun.

In fact, the Jin Army at this time, at least Jin Wushu and Wanyan’s lazy East Road Army are still in Hebei. Their first stage of attack target is also Dasong Jingdong two roads (Shandong area), and they have not fallen yet. The famous mansion in Gucheng, Hebei; correspondingly, Zhao Guan’s family really did not see the shadow of the Jinjun East Route Army.

The only sign is that from the Tokyo Left-behind Division, the chief minister led the Tokyo-behind Zongze to send a document saying that the situation in Tokyo is severe, especially as there are more and more flank gold forces on the west side of Tokyo. offensive. But at this time, apart from Zhao Jiu, even Li Gang didn't believe his words.

　　 Yes, Li Gang finally came back.

　　 Counting from the first year of Jingkang, the banner figure of the main battle faction has three ups and downs within one and a half years. He spent half of his time on the road to be reprimanded and conscripted as prime minister.

And once such a character arrives, there is one less Zhao official family who deliberately competes with him for power. That is because of his prestige and ability, and the stubborn character that even Zhao official family’s ears have been polished, or'shaking the master'. As soon as he came to Xing Xing, he naturally immediately grasped the initiative in major political affairs.

　　This migration was presided over by him—not to mention, since you want to use the minister, you have to go to Nanyang!

Of course there are many opponents. There are too many supporters of the Yangzhou faction here, and Yangzhou is too attractive... But he can’t stand the deputy minister Lu Haowen as a good gentleman; Wang Boyan, who knows the Privy Council, can’t wait for Li Gang to see him now; the new imperial court Although Shi Zhongcheng hates Li Gang, he coincides with Li Gang in the plan to choose the companion capital... Because going to Nanyang is not the ultimate goal, but to observe the situation in Nanyang, see if he can contact the Western Army, and finally enter Luoyang or Chang'an. .

Even Zhao Jiu knew in his heart that from a rational point of view, this plan was the same as a feasible transition plan to Yangzhou, except that one was to seek financial resources from the south of the Yangtze River as the foundation, and the other was to seek the military potential of the northwest. The foundation is nothing.

As a result, the migration immediately began without resistance. Zhao Jiu left with the large army without saying a word. This Zhao official family almost had a sense of shame, fear, daze, curiosity, and excitement. For the first time, his complex thoughts left Mingdao Palace and Bozhou.

But the brigade left Bozhou and traveled no more than a hundred miles to the southwest. As soon as it entered the boundary of Jingxi North Road, somewhere between Xiangcheng and Wanshou, it stopped again by the bank of Yingshui, because there was The rebels blocked the way.

Now that there are rebels everywhere in the Central Plains, it’s not surprising that something like this happened, and this leader called Ding Jin, the rebel Zhao Jiu, known as the Huaixi thief, and others knew it well, because he was almost Developed under the eyelids of Zhao Guan's and Li Gang, they just took off a while ago, and they were in the plan of annihilation.

Only this rebel army developed rapidly. It controlled a large number of towns along the upper reaches of the Huai River in just a few months. At this time, it pushed Yingshui and blocked the way to Nanyang, but it was forced to adjust the original. The military plan calls for troops to be eliminated first.

　　 In a word, there is going to be a war, the officials will take a break first!

"It is necessary to break the Ding to advance! It should be noted that this thief not only blocked the path of Nanyang, but also blocked the passage of the Huainan Zhuzhou army. I heard that the four counties of Luzhou, Chuzhou, Wuwei Army and Hezhou were walking in the past. Difficult, we put together a sum of money, food and cloth, and escorted them with Ding Zhuang, all walked to the Bagong Mountain, but was blocked by this thief!"

　　 "The local thieves started out in the chaos, and it was only two months before and after. It seems that there are many soldiers, but in fact, people are not attached. As long as you gather the best soldiers and find opportunities to defeat them, you can easily surrender and take them for your own use."

　　 "Yes, there are four or five thousand elite soldiers here, and there are many veterans, which are enough to deal with."

　　 "These are all empirical talks, Wang Yuan, you are governed by the imperial capital. I ask you, who can be the general?"

　　 "Liu Zhengyan, deputy commander of the right battalion, is in the camp. Miao Fu, Yang Yizhong, Liu Yan, or generals from the world, or long-standing generals, can assist each other."

　　 "But if this is the case, don't you have to walk without soldiers?"

　　 "Yes, the son of a daughter can't sit down in the hall. Now in the chaos, if you walk with the best soldiers, you are afraid that hundreds of water bandits and wild thieves can ruin the Da Song Sheji! The elbow and axillary problems have to be prevented!"

　　 "This is also a stereotype, but what about it?"

"In the past, to protect the two wings without worries, the imperial envoy Liu Guangshi, the rear army commander Zhang Jun, and the left army commander Han Shizhong all suppressed the bandits on the Jingdong Road, not far from here, and many of them were captured and surrendered. So, OK. Why not stop here, and then summon one or two of them to come here to guard. First, you can strengthen the imperial camp. Second, you must also use the seizure and placement to encourage the accompanying civil and military. Third, you should also give more rewards to the generals...and When the enemy arrives, it is also the meaning of rain and dew to release elite soldiers here to suppress the bandits."

　　 "This is also an old-fashioned view."

　　 Before the prime minister Li Gang became independent from the ministers, he only thought about it for a moment, and then he nodded heavily. "But Jingdong is an important place, and there must be no guards. I have rushed to call Zhang Suo to set up a left-behind department in Shandong, but he was reprimanded in Guangnan before. At this time, I am afraid that he is still on his way back... Bachelor of Cosmos, you come from Qingzhou, you can know who is there. What can you do for you?"

The person in question was Yu Wenxu Zhong, a scholar from the Imperial Palace University. Jing Kangzhong was responsible for negotiating peace with Jin Ren. So Li Gang was reprimanded to Qingzhou when he first took office, but after Huang Qianshan fell, Zhao Jiu urgently needed to establish a politically prestigious secretary team. , But returned to the line because of Zhang Jun's recommendation.

　　 And this person heard Li Gang's question at this time, first thought a little, but then smiled bitterly and shook his head:

"Li Xianggong thinks too much. Among the generals at this time, only Liu Guangshi has the qualifications, rank, and prestige. Moreover, although Liu Guangshi is not good at fighting, he is good at recruiting and raising soldiers. At this time, he calms the situation and waits for Zhang. Staying behind, he is the best choice."

Li Gang, who is more than 40 years old and four or five years younger than Yu Wenxu, is slightly fat and energetic. At this time, he is holding his belt, and he looks very elegant, and his mouth is also loud and loud. The main hall of the small temple trembles with tremors:

　　 "Yes, I also thought that Liu Guangshi could be a temporary station for JD.com and Zhang Suobi!"

　　Up to this point, the person did not ask Wang Boyan of the Privy Council of Tongzhi, but directly turned around and looked at the other person who seemed to be invisible before: "What do the officials think?"

　　 Sitting under the statue of Tathagata, Zhao Guanjia, who installed wood carvings with Tathagata, is Zhao Jiu. Hearing this, he finally made a move, but he nodded immediately, and then said one of the most spoken words in the past:

　　 "Just as Li Sang said!"

　　 Li Gang was extremely satisfied. When he came back this time, the performance of the officials really left him speechless.

　　 However, unlike the past, Zhao Guanjia, who was supposed to continue to do woodcarving, followed the trend and asked: "So, do you want to transfer Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun to come here?"

Li Gang was startled slightly, and then shook his head: "You don't need to come here... Huaidong is not at peace now, why not send one to the Shouzhou area as a flank? It's just that the ones who are here are only temporary protection, waiting for the front right army. After meritorious deeds and a little bit of growth, veterans like Zhang and Han will continue to let go, or suppress the rebellion, or garrison at the frontline key points."

　　 "Then let Zhang Jun go to Shouchun!" Zhao Jiu suddenly said again. "Let Han Shizhong come here."

　　 Li Gang only found it inexplicable, but this kind of trivial matter would not antagonize such a well-behaved official, so he directly nodded and agreed. This time the Imperial Front-Buddha Hall-Assembly Hall meeting also ended successfully.

　　 It can only be said that after Li Gang came, the life of the officials was so calm and unremarkable.

　　 Let’s also say that the big things are agreed, and the little things Li Xianggong go busy by himself, but Zhao Guan's house, who has become idle, wanders out of the Buddhist hall under the protection of Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan, and wanders around.

　　 But when Zhao Jiu found a high place next to the temple, he looked far away. He wanted to see the scenery of Yingshui, but he caught a glimpse of a small market town seven or eight miles away.

"That is…"

　　 "It's Jiegou Town." Yang Yizhong seemed to know everything. "Because it got its name at the junction of Chenzhou and Yingzhou... there is a ferry next to Yingshui, so it is quite prosperous."

Zhao Jiu nodded slightly. Although he was extremely curious in his heart, he just stepped his feet and looked at him. He didn't mean to go there... Without him, he stopped at Mingdao Palace before he walked, and now he stopped in the temple in the wild, his original intention was for Preventing intrusion of the people is also to prevent the people from hearing rumors, causing riots and impact.

　　 It can only be said that traveling here with thousands of soldiers and hundreds of officials, plus their families, will cause intrusions to the local area inevitable, but if you stay farther away, it is better than nothing.

　　 Just like that, Zhao Guan’s stayed on Xiaopo for a long time, only to feel that there were indeed people coming and going and it was quite lively, but after all, it was vague, and he couldn't help shaking his head.

　　 "The officials don't have to worry about it." Yang Yizhong smiled beside him. "If there were no Jinren, the world was still flourishing at this time, and there was no bandits invaded here. Naturally, it was really prosperous and lively... It was the market towns we passed by on the road. Although the officials were in the Chengyu, it was rare to take a closer look. But the clothes of buildings and pedestrians on the road can't be faked."

　　 Zhao Guanjia gave a dry laugh, then nodded, and then turned around. However, just after getting off Xiaopo, Zhao Guanjia suddenly turned around:

　　 "Zhengfu (Yang Yizhong) and Pingfu (Liu Yan), do you know how many people there is in the Song Dynasty?"

　　 Yang and Liu looked at each other and blurted out almost at the same time:

　　 "One hundred and twenty million!"

　　 "Is there so many?" Zhao Jiu couldn't help being stunned.

　　 "Officials, this is from the household registration of the dynasty three years ago." Yang Yizhong bowed his head and responded carefully. "Everyone knows it."

　　 "Now?" Zhao Jiu asked in a daze.

　　 Yang and Liu looked at each other again, but there was no definite answer.

　　 "When the world settles down, how much can there be?" Zhao Jiu asked again.

　　 But Yang and Liu can only bow their heads in silence.

"Go for a walk, let's not trouble Li Xianggong, so we won't go to Jiegou Town. We will only visit the surrounding countryside." Zhao Jiu sighed, adjusted his emotions again, and smiled slightly, as if finally unable to bear it. My own curiosity, I want to learn the customs of the ancient Mingjun.
