Chapter 1082 Fighting poison with poison

Zhao Bing clearly wrote letters, saying that he was a militant force, opposed to continuing to use troops against the Mongolian Yuan, and pursued and attacked the Second Army in the capture of Shouzhou City, causing serious casualties to the people, and even made remarks that it would not be enough to calm the anger of the public. The root cause was that the status of the military man was further improved, which would make the scholars marginalized, so he wanted to take advantage of the issue to suppress the military man group.

At the beginning of the plan, the Northern Expedition actually encountered opposition from many people. Several important officials also vaguely stated that the foundation of the recovery of Jiangnan was not stable and the food and grass was insufficient. They should slow down and focus on stabilizing internal affairs. Zhao Bing also believed that the statement was reasonable, and it was also a result of worrying about the financial difficulties of the court and difficulty in supporting a large-scale war, which led to the conquest but could not be defended.

Therefore, when formulating strategies, he became conservative and demarcated the scale of the war on the front line of Jiangbei. He had seized important military sites and severely damaged the Mongolian army stationed in the Lianghuai area, thus achieving the goal of alleviating the military pressure in Jiangnan. However, he did not expect that Yuxi Timuer had greater ambitions and wanted to recruit troops from the Lianghuai to capture Jiangnan again, which led to the war plan formulated by Zhao Bing to change accordingly. The scale of the war became larger and larger, and the front line also crossed the Lianghuai and approached the Central Plains.

The victory of the war will inevitably lead to a large number of warriors advance with their military merits, joining the ranks of ministers, and entering the court. In the battle to recover the two Huai Rivers, Zhao Bing appointed a group of generals in the army to govern the area. The sources of officials sent in the court to receive the newly occupied land were not only scholars who were "returned" in the Imperial Academy, but also officials who were familiar with government affairs and retired officers, with basically three numbers.

According to Zhao Bing's experience, the newly harvested land often has a turbulent period in the early stage, not only will the enemy invade the remnants of the enemy, but the people's hearts are unstable and the bandits are rampant. This requires the receiving officials not only to have experience in governing the local area, but also to have certain military experience. After all, the war has not yet ended, and the front line has been repeated from time to time. Local officials not only have to shoulder the responsibility of suppressing bandits and arresting the robbers and protecting the territory and safeguarding the people, but also to be prepared to organize the military and civilians to resist the enemy's counterattack and support the front line operations.

The civilians such as Yuhou and military officers in the army have both experience in participating in the military and managing soldiers and logistics. It is appropriate to use them as comfort envoys, transport envoys, and even the military and prefects to preside over the military and political affairs of the local area. And even if the war is over, officials with military experience need to guard the border and resist the invasion of the enemy. Even retired officers can serve as local armed officials such as heads, patrol officers, county magistrates, and observation envoys in the local area, and undertake the work of training township soldiers and maintaining local public security.

As for the scholars who have just passed the imperial examinations and have no experience in governing the local area, it is difficult for them to assume the responsibility of Mushou. Therefore, Zhao Bing asked them to join the list to accumulate experience in governing and lay the foundation for the future. Those veterans who have been immersed in the officialdom for many years and undertake various practical work may not have made any achievements in academics, but they have rich practical experience, are familiar with laws and work procedures, and are at ease in handling complicated practices, and are fully qualified to be county-level chief officials or auxiliary officials in the prefecture.

By forming a local receiving team through this three-combination method, Zhao Bing thought it was completely appropriate, which could not only quickly stabilize the local area, but also solve the future problems of officials who had not been promoted for a long time; it could also give more opportunities for retired officers from the army, thereby reducing the resistance to recruiting new recruits, encouraging active-duty officers to lose worries, and entering the military system with the civil service system can also enable Zhao Bing to strengthen control over the local area.

However, this plan also touched on the interests of the scholarly class, making them feel that their position in the bureaucratic system was threatened, and the traditional "territory" was in danger of losing. They knew that the position of the young emperor was already stable, and it was impossible to force him to give way like before by questioning his unorthodoxism. The most direct way was to cut off his wings - to attack the military group, thus causing him to lose strong aid and have to pay attention to the scholarly again.

Therefore, opposing the Northern Expedition has the effect of killing two birds with one stone, and the help they rely on is the power of the people. After thousands of years of development, Jiangnan has become increasingly prosperous, especially the prevalence of Houhai trade in the Song Dynasty, land has been fully utilized, and economic development has reached a high point. But people are selfish after all, especially in the era of self-sufficiency and information-enclosed age. Without touching personal interests, no one is willing to break this life like a "rat in the warehouse".

This led to the people of Jiangnan who were not interested in the Northern Expedition and opposed it, because in their consciousness, Jiangbei had become a barbaric land, with poor resources and poor life, and they all rely on rice and grain from Jiangnan to feed them. After the Central Plains was regained, the court naturally had to increase taxes to maintain their operations, which infringed on their own interests, which was equivalent to disguised "robbing the rich and helping the poor".

Zhao Bing was very disgusted with the act of coercing himself with public opinion and did not shake his determination to fight the Northern Expedition. At this time, the Shouzhou fire caused serious casualties, which became the reason for the Qingliu people to attack, but he chose to forget the massacre and harsh exploitation of the people in the south during the southern invasion. He did not mention the actions taken by the enemy's fierce resistance. Among the casualties, some of the people were helping the enemy defend the city, and only grasped the point where the people suffered heavy casualties.

In Ruxue's book, those people described Liu Zhixue as a butcher who did everything and asked Zhao Bing to severely punish him, as if he was not like this, he would be indulging him, and he would be a tyrant. At the same time, he persuaded Zhao Bing to be a benevolent monarch, and to follow the good, Ruliu, and not to learn from Jie and Zhou's will to act alone and be despised by the world.

Zhao Bing was so angry that he laughed after reading it. Even in modern times, the Shouzhou incident was just an accidental injury incident. Moreover, in the war, anyone who picked up weapons could be regarded as the enemy and the target of being eliminated. As for the large number of casualties of the people, it was mainly because the Mongolian and Yuan defenders closed the city gates and cut off the way to escape. Liu Zhixue could only bear the responsibility of improper tactical arrangements in the entire incident, and considered incomplete responsibility. The Qingliu people shouted and beat and killed by themselves and wanted to use their own hands to attack the warriors and provoke their relationship with the warrior group.

Zhao Bing naturally wanted to get rid of those who destroyed his plan, but he also knew that his main task was to fight the Northern Expedition instead of spending his energy on internal friction. But if he let these people go, he felt unwilling to accept it and thought for a moment. He immediately asked Ma Duanlin to copy the names of all the writers, but did not tell him what he wanted to do, which made him uneasy.

Zhao Bing then wrote two secret letters by hand, ordered Wang De to seal it and selected several people from the copied list to send it to the Lin'an Affairs Bureau quickly, and ordered these people to be investigated secretly. Not only did they monitor their public remarks and behaviors, but they also had to investigate their private lives, and even the three generations of their ancestors must be identified.

Zhao Bing thought clearly that you can slander me, and of course you can slam you. He also knew that these so-called celebrities are not as noble and elegant as they are externally expressed, and their private lives are also extravagant. As long as you investigate carefully, you will definitely catch their short feet. Even if you can't find out, someone will naturally make up a perfect set of "rescue" for you, which makes it difficult for them to argue.

These are a piece of cake for the affairs bureau that has been against the Mongol Yuan for a long time. They are made out of nothing, exaggerated, and picking the bones in the eggs are all good things. Zhao Bing did not want to use these things to threaten them, but instead used various means to make his "evil deeds" public and exposed them to the eyes of the government and the public, and make them bad. Since celebrities are called "famous", they naturally value reputation the most. Once the dirty things and dark history they have done are revealed, their reputation will definitely be bad. Think about what a person who has stinked the streets will say, who will believe it, I am afraid that even what he said in the past will be regarded as a lie.

At that time, Zhu Xi, a great scholar, was also impeached by the ministers who had seduced nuns and daughter-in-law to conceive, and was impeached by the ministers. Although some people said that this was arranging his name, it was a false accusation and persecution of him. However, this controversial incident still led to Zhu Xi being forced to apologize and betrayal and discarded. This led to the impeachment of the censor, listing ten major crimes such as "disrespect for the monarch", "disloyal to the country", "insulting the court", "injuring the style of the people", "private the wealth of a private person", and then escalating and transforming into the Qingyuan Party case again.

As a result, Zhu Xi was impeached and won the title of title. His favorite disciple Cai Yuanding was arrested and sent to Daozhou. For a time, Neo-Confucianism was disgraced and was denounced as a "fake learning", Zhu Xi was denied as a "fake teacher", and students were denied as "fake disciple". Ningzong changed his old habits and issued an edict to recommend officials to not be accepted as a "fake learning". He was once very arrogant and was picked up in shame. The reason why this case was caused was because Zhu Xi fabricated the "Yan Rui case" and wanted to use it to attack his political opponents. As a result, he was caught by others and got into trouble. He stepped on countless feet until his death. He was not able to be rehabilitated.

Zhao Bing understood that using these methods to the other party's political opponents was a bit dirty, but when will the power be glorious? And even if it is very important, he cannot sit idly by and be criticized. In terms of the methods, who can beat the top of power and control the countless resources. Don't look at their joy now, let them draw a list in a blink of an eye.
