Chapter 905 People’s War

Sun Gu submitted a document: "Jiaozhi County presented Lao Wang's blood-piercing king's book, as well as Buddhist scriptures written to pray for the people and His Majesty; and Zhang Lingcong, Liu Feng, and Huang Mu's weeping requests for the Song Dynasty to intervene in the occupation

Report on city and state affairs."

"But one of the drafters of the report, Huang Mu, a wealthy businessman from Buzheng Prefecture who rose up against the tyranny, has been killed by the occupying army, and most of them were also wiped out."

"The remaining troops, under the command of his son Huang Shizhong, retreated into Maling Prefecture, united with Zhang Lingcong, and continued to resist."

"There is a fierce battle in Malingzhou now, and Fengyan's army is exhausted. Your Majesty, these are our overseas Chinese ethnic groups. They uphold the heart of the Song Dynasty and rise up to resist the tyranny. They should not be excommunicated in foreign countries..."

Zhao Xu took the document, read it, and handed it to the governors: "Let's take a look at it. I am a pure overseas person who has the heart of a fist, and the old king of Champa has the heart of a Buddhist."

Several prime ministers also looked at it, and Feng Jing immediately handed it over: "Your Majesty, Su You must be ordered to assist at the border. Even if Fengyan's army cannot effectively support it, it must be allowed to retreat into Jiaozhi to avoid the indiscriminate killing of the city."

"It shouldn't be like this!" Wu Chong categorically expressed his different stance: "The old Wang Guo of Champa wrote here, entrusting Champa to the Song Dynasty. Now that we have good reasons and evidence, why can't we take over Champa?"

Cai Que was afraid of Su You's return to the capital, so he happened to sleep on his pillow and asked, "What happened to Su Mingrun?! He was so decisive in annihilating Jiaozhi, but he hesitated when it came to capturing the city at the right time and in the right place, and when people were united?"

Wu Chong rolled his eyes and sneered: "Wasn't the annihilation of Jiaozhi impeached by your Taiwanese remonstrance? Nowadays, the officials are easily offended. They all protect themselves wisely and do not care about the reputation of those who sacrificed their lives for the country. How many people dare to stand in the court?

?”

Wu Chong was impeached again. This was because his son behaved carelessly and corruptly in the local area. He was caught by the imperial censor again and was evacuated at home several times. It was only after Zhao Xu issued an edict that he invited him out.

This song was so boring that Wu Chong started to break the rules, but his reputation got a small improvement.

The prime minister should not have compromised with Taiwan's advice in the first place, but had to fight each other until one party resigned. This was the "correct routine" in the eyes of Song Dynasty officials.

In Su You's heart, this is simply a lack of understanding of politics. Now he is slowly guiding everyone to understand that the imperial court is also a community of contradictions, and that achieving balance and even harmony in the struggle of contradictions is smart politics.

To put it bluntly, it is a "struggle with a bottom line" and a "struggle with rules."

Seeing that the topic was about to turn to the court dispute again, Zhao Xu immediately stepped forward to stop it: "Let's discuss the occupation of the city first."

Wu Chong asked: "Jiaozhi County will not just submit credentials and proclamations on its behalf? This is not the style of those officials."

Sun Gu said: "Exactly, but Wang Shao and Su You both believed that there was not enough time to do this. The time to capture the city would not be until the people of Champa shouted, 'Xi Yu Hou, then Qi Su...'"

.”

This is an allusion from "Shang Shu Zhong Hui Zhi Gao": Xia Jie was tyrannical, Shang Tang led troops to attack the tyrant, and the suffering people looked forward to the army to rescue them, and they all said: "Xi Yu later, later Su?"

It means: "Why did you come to rescue us so late? Now that you are here, we will finally be saved, right?"

Feng Jing said: "What the two of them said is also true. Although there is turmoil in Champa City now, the class that caused the rebellion is still the descendants of the Fujian people, and the Zhan people in the three states have not yet felt comfortable to respond, let alone the lands behind Guan and its subordinates.

Officer, general, soldier."

"It seems that what Su Mingrun and Wang Shao want to do is to leave the beginning and the end and solve it completely at once."

Wang Gui said: "Now that things have happened, I can only think this way. However, when the Li family in Xixia was divided into five states, the ministers in the court also believed that it was like overthrowing the eggs. It would be wiped out overnight, but it would not be as good as the aftermath.

People want it.”

"Now we are occupying the city and supporting one hundred thousand troops. This is not the time when we moved to Deming in embarrassment. In the Song Dynasty, we only had forty thousand troops in Jiaozhi County, and they were all Tuding generals. The main army, Ning Haijun, was guarding the strait, and the elite infantry led by Wang Shao were

The number of dead is only three thousand. You should not be too optimistic."

"Your Majesty, I believe that proper participation can ensure an early exit and establish an invincible position first, which is the best plan."

After a ladle of cold water was poured down, everyone in the hall became a little clearer.

Yes, you have to have teeth and a mouth to eat the good meat delivered to your door.

The officials of the Song Dynasty were extremely capable of playing a good hand of cards into pieces.

Zhao Xu still felt aggrieved after thinking about it: "Su Mingrun and Wang Shao were tied up after leaving the emperor's orders, and they lost all their grace when they entered Xihe to level Jiaozhi and rushed thousands of miles away. It's not good. This is because Li Shunju restrained them too harshly.

?”

Cai Que said: "Your Majesty, now that we have captured Long, we are looking back at Shu. Although the South China Sea has many benefits, it is really too far away."

"Now that it has just developed, it has involved so much energy in the court, and the troubles facing the Song Dynasty are actually not outside the South China Sea. I hope that the ministers can deal with it as the opportunity arises."

This was very reasonable, and Zhao Xu had no choice but to nod: "That's it, Xu Suyou, Wang Shao will handle Jiedu, Li Shunju will supervise and make decisions, even if you send troops to occupy the city..."

"However, we need to be cautious. Every military aircraft dispatch order needs to be signed by three people. The same is true for the report. The main ones are to keep Cochin County and Penang Longya, and the rest...well, I hope they can create another one.

It’s a miracle…”

In October, the edict was issued to Jiaozhou, and Li Shunju also came from Yunzhou. He was in a hurry when he entered the door: "Oh no, no, no, the officials have given me an internal edict, accusing me of not doing things well and supervising you too much. No matter what,

The life and death of the people who occupy the city."

After saying that, he said with a sad face: "Tell me about you...what have I detained you for? After decades of hard work, our family has never done anything well? How has His Majesty not always rewarded you? This is the first time I have been blamed. I

,I,I…”

Wang Shao and Su You were both present. Wang Shao especially didn't care: "Old Li, don't be impatient. This is just an internal decree to reduce responsibilities. If you don't tell us, we won't know at all."

Su You also nodded: "That's right, the officials still give you a decent job as the governor."

"Look at Bachelor Wang. In the past two years, there was only one bare bachelor left. He was so angry that he was so angry that his stomach was rotten. Now, aren't official positions just like those in the belly, returning to the old concept?"

Wang Shao was so angry that he couldn't even speak: "You...if it weren't for the Junjun who was my savior, and I don't want her to become a widow, I...I will fight you with my sword right now!"

Su You said: "Aren't I trying to comfort the governor... Forget about you, even my good temper has been punished by His Majesty with a copper fine. Isn't there still a blemish on my resume?"

"So, Governor, only those who don't do things will not make mistakes. This is normal..."

Li Shunju changed the focus of the topic: "Mingrun, have you ever been fined copper?"

Su You said proudly: "Of course. When I returned to Beijing from Hangzhou, Jin Mingchi failed to accompany him and was punished once. Wang Xianggong was beaten in front of Xuande Gate. I had the authority to know the Kaifeng Mansion at that time and arrested the guards guarding the palace gate.

I got up and got slapped, and was punished again."

Li Shunju's abnormal psychology of becoming more and more proud the more Su You was punished, was incomprehensible: "Then why are you so happy?"

"Oh..." Su You quickly changed his attitude, with a serious look on his face: "I think these are His Majesty's encouragement and encouragement to me, and he wants me to become a better version of myself."

"So the expression just now was not one of pride, but gratitude, happiness and gratitude from the bottom of my heart."

Li Shunju had an expression that said, "Don't try to trick me into eating shit. Forget it. Now that His Majesty's edict has arrived, what should we do?"

Wang Shao handed over Zhongshu's edict: "The supervisor, let's take a look at this first. It is probably a little different from your majesty's edict."

Li Shunju took it and read it, feeling a little dizzy: "Why is this? Zhongshu insists on being cautious? How come it is so different from the internal edict given to me by His Majesty?"

Su You took the order and said: "This is what it means. It is necessary to complete His Majesty's mission of conquering the city, but also to comply with Zhongshu's intention not to send troops easily; don't expect any help, but at least keep the current results; you can't

It affects the political situation of Jiaozhi County. With only 3,000 new troops and 40,000 Tuding, it is necessary to complete the task of defending Jiaozhi against the 100,000 Champa royal army. It is also necessary to reap as many benefits as possible, preferably all of Champa.

"

"That's what you mean, am I understanding it correctly?"

Li Shunju was dumbfounded: "What's the difference between this and letting the king of Champa surrender the country to the Song Dynasty? Why are they so mean? Is the court confused?"

Su You raised his index finger: "To sum it up in one sentence, it is necessary for the horse to run and not eat grass. It is not good for the horse to be tired. If it runs slowly, the boss will mess with it."

Li Shunju waved with a grimace: "Mingrun, please stop making such witty remarks! Instead, tell me a solution?!"

Su You spread his hands: "I'm helpless too... Besides, I don't care about military affairs..."

Li Shunju quickly waved his hand to stop: "Mingrun, please stop making trouble, this is not all military affairs, it is also government affairs! We must come up with a charter today!"
