Chapter 764 Away from the Central Plains

Author: An Huajun

The envoys had all left, and Wang Xiaolie sat alone in his room, staring at the blooming chrysanthemums outside the window in a daze, motionless for a long time.

The chrysanthemums bloom very beautifully, with colorful and complex flowers. In late autumn, when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the whole yard is filled with flowers like a sea. Coupled with the rich fragrance of several sweet-scented osmanthus trees next to it, and a few butterflies flying among the flowers, it is a great place to enjoy them.

Spend a good time drinking.

"The rustling west wind fills the courtyard with plants, and the pistils are cold and fragrant. Butterflies are hard to come. If I were the Qing Emperor in another year, I would be rewarded with peach blossoms blooming everywhere." Suddenly, this poem came to Wang Xiaolie's mind. There was no reason.

, I remembered it when I saw chrysanthemums.

Wang Xiaolie smiled bitterly, stood up, walked to the door and looked into the yard.

People of later generations always think that rebellion is very easy. If you have an army in hand, as long as you feel unhappy, you can raise a voice and shout, not to mention the crowd of responders, at least your troops will follow you to rebel. Some people say that since Yue Fei's army

Called the "Yue Family Army", wouldn't it be enough for him to rebel with twelve gold medals?

In fact, although Yue Fei's army was called "Yue Family Army", it was the army of the imperial court. Han Shizhong's army was called "Han Family Army", and Zhang Jun's army was also called "Zhang Family Army" by people at the time. Yue Fei was just following the rules, indicating that he was a great general.

So handsome.

Several armies that were founded in the Southern Song Dynasty were officially formed when Yue Fei formed an independent army. Among them, Han Shizhong was his own army and had the nature of a warlord. However, he followed the imperial court to fight all year round and was deeply influenced by the imperial court. Liu Guangshi was a warlord.

, all the chaotic troops collected by the Song Dynasty were pushed into his place. However, he could not control his troops well and could only restrain them. Zhang Jun was trained by Zhao Gou. Although he was called "Zhang Jiajun", he was a regular army of the imperial court. It is precisely because of this

Identity, after ten years of turmoil in Shaoxing, he was the one who really took charge of the military.

Yue Fei was another general trained by Zhao Gou after Zhang Jun, and was used to reorganize other armies. Because of this, all the armies that could be reorganized were assigned to Yue Fei's name. If there are no accidents, it should be Yue Fei who annexed Liu Guangshi

Department, completing the integration of the Song Dynasty army.

With such a status, why did Yue Fei rebel? His army was the regular army of the imperial court, and few people rebelled with him. In fact, after the incident in the Prison of Storms, only a few of Yue Fei's men really opposed it. Zhao Gou also wanted to clean up Yue Fei.

I never thought about the military rebellion.

Historically, Chen Mingren rebelled when the overall situation was decided. Three of his four army commanders fled, and most of the soldiers fled. Although Chen Mingren was self-willed and overly cautious, the main reason was that he was ineffective in controlling the army and the situation was unclear.

.

Facing Zhao Gou, Wang Xiaolie had to be ready to rebel at any time. But if he rebelled, he had to consider whether and how many of his troops would listen to him. Without iron discipline,

An army that absolutely obeys orders is unimaginable.

Wang Ruohai came in, saw Wang Xiaolie at the door, and saluted hurriedly.

Wang Xiaolie said: "I haven't seen my staff all day today, but I don't know what I have to do?"

Wang Ruohai said: "It's already winter, and the army has to prepare for the winter. Allocating supplies to them is no small matter."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yes, this is a big deal. All divisions have sent official documents, saying that they lack winter supplies and it is really difficult to distribute them."

Now Wang Xiaolie's military standards have not been determined, the distribution system is not clear, and supplies are not sufficient, and each division is snatching them back and forth. As chief of staff, Wang Ruohai's distribution of winter supplies has become a major event recently, and he is extremely busy every day.

After entering the room, the guests and the host were seated separately. Wang Xiaolie made a pot of tea and invited Wang Ruohai.

After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Ruohai put it down and said, "Isn't it inappropriate for Xuanfu to ask some of the envoys to return immediately with gifts? Their seats have been arranged at the banquet, and even the food and drinks need to be taken care of for some people.

I got it--"

Wang Xiaolie sighed: "Advisor, if you have something to say in front of me, you should just say it!"

Wang Ruohai said: "Yes, if you don't follow military orders below, you should indeed be punished. But it shouldn't be so direct! The commanders, commanders, and generals below are all generals now. Xuanfu's actions will prevent them from stepping down. It's better to let them go.

If the envoy attends the wedding banquet well, he will be able to live up to his reputation."

Wang Xiaolie said: "This wedding banquet is just about saving face. What kind of punishment is it to have decent face? We are the army, and we must let the subordinates understand that military orders are like mountains and cannot be changed at all. They can only be executed! There is no cleverness in this.

This is not a place to be cautious!”

Wang Ruohai thought for a while and finally nodded: "Xuan Fu makes sense. However, I still think it is too much."

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand and said: "That's it, there's no need to mention it again, counselor!"

Wang Ruohai shook his head and said: "In the Hedong area, Shangdang now has a division from Xie Linong, a division from Jinzhou Cao Zhiyan, and if we add a division from Shizhou Jiang Min, there will be three divisions in total, with 100,000 troops. Here we go.

It is not an easy task for these 100,000 horses to provide food, grass and winter supplies."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not easy. However, Jinzhou and Shangdang are both strategic points and must be stationed with troops. In Shizhou, Jiang Min can first solve the problem of losing the family in Fuzhou, and secondly, he can surround the enemy's rear during the war. There are also

Of great use.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Shizhou can use the Yellow River for transportation. Although it is difficult, it is better than taking the land route. The difficulty now is the Longde Mansion area. Originally, Longde Mansion was enough to support more than 30,000 people. But after the Jin soldiers, the place was dilapidated

, with a sparse population, it will be difficult. I think now that the new army has been organized and trained, it is better to march north in a big way and lead Xiangzhou and Cizhou. It can not only monitor Daming Prefecture, but also support Longde Prefecture. "

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while and then said decisively: "No, occupying these two states will stimulate Liu Yu and become a situation of no end. In the current situation, it is best for us not to join the Central Plains battlefield, but to attack the north directly. If

To join the battlefield in the Central Plains, you have to cooperate with the armies of Liu, Zhang, and Han, and do you want to cooperate?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head.

Wang Ruohai has been Wang Xiaolie's chief of staff for many years, and he vaguely guessed Wang Xiaolie's thoughts. He sighed and said: "If we can't capture Xiangzhou and Cizhou, we will have to suffer for the people of Wei, Ze and other states. From now on.

The road to transport grain from Zezhou to Longde is not very easy."

Wang Xiaolie was silent for a while and asked: "Is the army short of money now? Spend more money, and we can't let the people work without getting money."

"Money is always in short supply. However, after occupying Luoyang this year, the Xuanfu Division built many factories and spent a lot of money. Coupled with a new army, the money spent will be even more. If many things can be temporarily

It will be much easier in the next year. The problem now is that these things cannot wait.”

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said nothing.

When the economy develops, investing money and making money by printing money is a method that is not unfamiliar to modern people. To be honest, this method is a routine method in modern countries. With the operation of various currency reservoirs, huge amounts of money can be printed.

currency.

In this era, there was a lack of various research on this method, so Wang Xiaolie could only try it one step at a time. Fortunately, in this era, the government's expenditure was much less than in later generations, and under Wang Xiaolie's rule, it developed again.

Very fast and generally not short of money.
