Chapter 552 Difficult Questions
The third thing reported by the Bureau of Affairs was not a trivial matter, but the Li tribe in Jiyang Army was in turmoil. "Zhao Bing knew the conflict between the Li tribe for a long time, and lasted for nearly a thousand years, and he did not think that he could resolve it in one go. Therefore, after arriving in Qiongzhou, he did not mobilize the army to suppress it, nor did he bribe it. He just adopted a policy of no disturbance, neither collecting taxes from them nor interfering in the hereditary inheritance of their local officials. It only showed that the military strength made them dare not act without action. While opening up the post road, the "soft blockade" the Li tribe gathering area, and once there was a change, they could quickly mobilize troops to encircle and suppress them.
While making a secret arrangement, Zhao Bing also wanted to gain a foothold and subdue the Li tribe for his own use. After all, the Li tribe occupies the central part of the island and has a population of tens of thousands. For the sake of stability and stability, the goal of increasing taxes should be the same. In addition, the Li tribe lives in the mountains and forests for generations, making a living by hunting and simple farming. The living conditions are arduous, the people are brave and brave, and good at fighting. If you recruit them as an army, you can get a strong army.
Although Zhao Bing knew that he could not act too rush, so he just wanted to wait for the opportunity to slowly plan it. For this reason, he also discussed with Ying Jieyan. When the time was ripe, he used the strategy of "changing land and returning to the current" to incorporate the Li people into the management of the court, so as to achieve the goal of taking it for himself. However, before he could start, a group of people in the court took the lead and led to a conflict between Li and Han in the Jiyang army.
According to the Bureau of Affairs, the cause of the incident was a conflict between Fu Xiong, a local official of Jiyang Army, Fu Riping, and another local official, Ma Yu. At first, when the two families were in chaos due to personal hatred, He Rende, who was in charge of Jiyang Army, routinely reported it to the court. His intention was to remind the court that there was chaos in the local area and had no other intention. He followed the policies formulated by His Majesty, did not interfere or participate in their disputes, but only warned the two families that they should not cross the boundary and disturb the people and take the opportunity to rob the Han people.
He Rende did not expect that his "small report" caused a huge response in the court. The Six Xiufu, who was in charge of the government, was as if he was facing a great enemy and immediately asked him to mobilize troops to suppress him. His reaction was so fierce that He Rende was hit by this. It was just that the two neighbors fought each other, as long as they did not cause chaos, it would be fine to watch. So he immediately replied to the letter to inform the left prime minister that this matter should not be interfered according to His Majesty's strategy. Rarely activating troops caused disgust among the slang clan and aroused a large-scale conflict between the slang and Han.
However, 6 Xiufu didn't think so. The Jiyang army has now begun to refine iron ore on a large scale, which will be an important weapon building base in Qiongzhou. If the Li tribe is chaotic and blocking the post roads, or even looting the city, it will have a great impact on the subsequent development. Moreover, for more than a hundred years, the Li people in Qiongzhou have been causing chaos, and the court is busy fighting against the Meng Jin and has no time to take care of it. In addition, the local incompetence caused the Li people to lose control. Not only did they refuse to pay taxes and travel on business trips, but they also once attacked the prefectures of the state and plundered the Han people. 6 Xiufu wanted to take the opportunity to subdue the Li people and re-establish the majesty of the court.
In addition, 6 Xiufu cannot be said to have no selfishness. Now that Wen Tianxiang has returned to the court, Zhang Shijie is still trusted by the young emperor. The ministers in Qiongzhou are eager to "plan" to get to power, making his status in danger. He Rende once served as the prefect of Yingtian, and his status is much deeper than him. Now he does not obey his own orders, and is of course regarded as a potential political opponent, which makes 6 Xiufu want to make some achievements in "quelling the rebellion" and stabilize his position. Therefore, he strictly ordered the commander of the Right Army Han Zhen to lead the army to Jiyang army to suppress the rebellion.
However, 6 Xiufu did not expect that he would kick the iron plate. Han Zhen refused to send troops on the grounds that His Majesty had ordered him to stationed in Qiongzhou to prevent the enemy's invasion. He Rende wrote another letter to ask the Empress Dowager to wait for His Majesty to return to the court and not to engage in war. Jiang Yan and Deng Guangjian, who were left in Qiongzhou, also resolutely fought against the troops in the hall, breaking the current balance and causing civil strife, thus causing Your Majesty's Eastern Expedition to abandon halfway. However, 6 Xiufu "resisted the public opinion" and asked the Empress Dowager to order the imperial guards in front of the hall where he was trained in Yazhou to send troops to Jiyang's army to quell the rebellion.
Jiang Jin did not dare to refuse to obey, and hurriedly led 3,000 imperial guards to Jiyang army, but he also kept a secret, and instead entered Jiyang army in the name of protecting post roads and mines. His original intention was not to disobey His Majesty's will, but he did not expect that when the army arrived, Fu Xiong, Ma Yu and Fu Riping, who were originally fighting, had no choice but to stop fighting, but carved arrows and sent letters to Sifang Lizhai to fight against the official army, and gathered more than ten thousand Lizhai soldiers. They attacked the post station stationed on the post road, crossed the border and entered the Han area and plundered the villagers in the village. The court and the country were shocked and panicked, and they were frightened...
"Why didn't your Majesty rest?" Just as Zhao Bing was thinking about how to deal with it, Ying Jieyan went upstairs and asked.
"I can't calm down and I can't sleep." Zhao Bing turned his face and smiled bitterly, "Sir, have gotten up too."
"You are old and don't have that much sleepiness. You will be fine after lying for a while. However, Your Majesty is just when you grow up, so you should pay attention to rest. Are you worried about not having a good sleep?" Ying Jieyan said with a smile.
"Sir, something happened in Qiongzhou. I am worried that it will affect the morale of the army, so I have never told everyone!" Zhao Bing sighed.
"What happened in Qiongzhou?!" Ying Jieyan was surprised when he heard this, "Your Majesty, what happened to make Your Majesty unable to sleep or eat?" He knew that although Your Majesty was young, he would never worry about some small things. Judging from his appearance, he should be quite a bit of trouble.
"Sir, sit down, I'm just asking sir to ask sir to find out what to do!" Zhao Bing thought that not only would he try to restore stability when he went back, but there were also open and secret struggles in the court. How would he deal with it? You can listen to his opinions.
"Your Majesty, please speak!" Ying Jie sat upright and said.
"Since I left the east to conquer Quanzhou, there have been several things in Qiongzhou. Fortunately, although there were chaos, they were still under control. However, this slang person was not properly dealt with, and our efforts in the past two years will be ruined..." Zhao Bing moved to the small hall, and after he got the tea, he ordered no one to enter without summoning, and then repeated the received tip to Ying Jieyan.
"Your Majesty is right. Since the establishment of a county in Qiongzhou in all dynasties, the slander and Han dynasties have been in trouble for a long time. Every time there is a turmoil, they will send large troops to the island to suppress the rebellion. Not only does it cost huge material resources, but it also often suffers huge casualties. It may even last for several years, exhausting the country and ending with compromise. What's more,..." Ying Jieyan frowned after hearing this and nodded.
He knew that a country would often be dragged down by a lasting turmoil, and his foundation would be even thinner. However, he grew up here, familiar with the geographical environment, and adapted to the life of the jungle and mountains. He could not beat the mountain, and tens of thousands of people would be scattered into the sea like a drop of water in the sea. He could not find it, so he would give you a cold one. In addition, the miasma in the mountains was filled, and outsiders would die for a lifetime. The feasibility of the army was limited, so they could not be used to calm the chaos and had no time to go outside. The restoration of the country was equivalent to empty talk.
"Yes, we can't afford to hold on or fight." Zhao Bing said seriously, "Now we have just stabbed Kublai Khan in his heart, so he would not give up. He was afraid that the army would be mobilized to take revenge as soon as the rainy season ended. If we cannot calm down the chaos as soon as possible, we will fall into internal and external difficulties. If we may not do it well, we will be forced to evacuate Qiongzhou and find another place to settle down!"
The so-called "I can't afford to fight Zhao Bing, but I understand that I want to be strict and strict. The current financial situation is now in a tight situation, and it will take a long time to completely solve the problem. However, the army spent money every day. Zhao Bing now lives entirely by fighting through war, and if he didn't seize it, he would be a loss. There were not many cases of seizures in Qizhouyang and Yashan, but he finally lost not much. However, the people who rely on slashing and fire and hunting to live, were poor, except for the straw sheds that shelters shelters shelters shelters, and they were lice on their bodies. He dispatched tens of thousands of troops to fight guerrillas and hide cats. Even if they were subdued, they could not be able to recover a single child except for paying money.
"Well, this matter has already happened, so we must try to solve it as soon as possible." Ying Jieyan certainly understood His Majesty's thoughts, and he was not interested in fighting a group of poor people!
"I can't figure out what other people's business is like. If you cause such a big trouble, you might as well take him to fight in the east!" Zhao Bing also understood that the faster the better, but thinking about Liu Xiufu's troubles, he couldn't help but regret it.
"If the sixth Prime Minister dealt with this way, it would be fine if it was a normal day." Ying Jieyan smiled and said, "Previously, local officials would conceal the reports whenever there was a barbarian turmoil, in order to make big things happen, and they would not report them to the court until they caused big chaos. At this time, the situation was no longer controlled. Therefore, the court would be very nervous to receive reports and use a large army to quell the rebellion."
"I think it is not necessary to do things according to the convention, but the Song Dynasty is no longer the same as before, and the situation is very different from the past. Still holding on to the incompleteness will only ruin our hope!" Zhao Bing said helplessly and distressedly. He acted as usual and gave himself a big problem, but reorganizing the dynasty and eliminating bad policies will cause trouble. If it is not done well, it will cause new party struggles and intensify the original contradictions.
"Your Majesty is very worried, but the time is not right at this moment, and Your Majesty still needs to be patient. The most urgent task is how to quickly quell the chaos." Ying Jieyan knew what Your Majesty said was good, but he was worried that he would act in a state of impulse and was eager to achieve success, which made the situation even more uncontrollable.
"I am worried that the Song Dynasty will be ruined in my hands." Zhao Bing sighed, "What are the good plans for sir to pacify the chaos?"
"I remember when I came to Qiong when I crossed the sea and came to Qiong, Your Majesty and I discussed this matter. Changing the land and returning to the current situation is the best strategy, but it still needs to be slowed down. Previously, the slander chaos often arose, and each dynasty was nothing more than three strategies!" Ying Jieyan thought for a while and said, "But it is difficult to last forever. The chaos still comes one after another, and it is difficult to completely eliminate the troubles of the disease!"
