It's midsummer now, June 20th.

Although many of the territory of the Song Dynasty fell into the hands of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao people could not actually control those areas. At most, this was the official speech that Lao Xiao put on his face and reported to Yelu Hongji.

In fact, even if the Song Dynasty was cowardly, there was still cohesion, let alone the leader of the Great Demon King. So now there are resistance everywhere in the enemy-occupied areas, and the guerrillas are getting more and more slippery when fighting, and more and more militias dare to fight.

This will undoubtedly greatly delay the formation of effective occupation by the Liao army.

In addition to the policy of the Great Demon King at that time, many of them had no worries, it was also because Xiao Hui could not control her teammates well.

At this time, the Liao army's logistics line became increasingly vulnerable. Lao Xiao's ability to mobilize and coordinate logistics cannot be said to be poor, but he lost at least one level compared to the Great Demon King. He could not control the blitzkrieg tactics that the northern tribes were very enthusiastic about. Under such logistical pressure, they had to requisition "people's fat" from the occupied areas.

This is of course an act of hatred. Since the casualties were already happening and the things were stolen by the Liao people, the brave soldiers were born from this worry-free group, and more and more, with a tendency toward viral reproduction and expansion.

In any case, the strategic buffer layer of the Great Demon King has been fully formed, and it will continue until this mid-to-late June. The Liao army's advancement speed has stopped at the quasi-second-line defense circle. Not to mention rapid advancement, it is difficult to push further.

Now that the front line has reached such a large size and the logistics loopholes are very large, Lao Xiao has been reluctant to issue a general attack order against the second-tier major towns.

On the other hand, the great devil sitting in the Song Guoshu Mansion got another chance to breathe.

But Wang Rong did not relax. Now he rested for a more powerful attack in the next round. Wang Rong knew that the buffer would not be too long.

There is no doubt that Lao Xiao’s goal was to push the Daming Mansion. With the size of the Daming Mansion, they decided that after they obtained it, the logistical pressure of the Liao army would basically be gone within one year, and they could even invest more troops to participate in effective occupation.

There is news that Zhuo Luolan has entered Lao Xiao's command as an "external aide" and participated in the decision-making. In this regard, the great devil has clearly realized that Lao Xiao's mistakes will be reduced in the future.

From now on, the Song Dynasty will have at most about 60 days, and will face a real dark night moment and be attacked by the second round of blitzkrieg of the Liao Kingdom. The quasi-second-line defense circle will be 100% unrestrained.

The reason for the calculation is 60 days is that it refers to the continuous operation of the Liao Kingdom logistics line, which is just slow rather than cut off supply. So time is their "cache". Now they stop at the right pace and wait for food and grass. As the autumn harvest approaches, it is one of the few choices to directly take Daming Mansion.

Now is the last chance for the Song Dynasty to breathe. The Great Demon King, who had planned to give up the quasi-second coil before the war started, has been deploying the battlefield of Daming Mansion.

During the Great Retreat in the North before, the heavy artillery deployed on the front line was not really impossible to take away, but it was OK to take away forcibly.

But the great devil issued an order to "Snap time to withdraw people and blow up all clumsy offensives, including heavy artillery, we should not and cannot leave them to the Liao people."

This policy was actually Wang Yun's smoke, in order to confuse the Liao people. In order to cause panic in the Song Dynasty, the Liao people's inertial thinking of "there are not many heavy artillery in the Song Dynasty."

But in fact, the industrial capacity of the Song Dynasty today was the industry that Wang Rong moved inwardly at that time, rather than the hundreds of heavy artillery bombs that were blown up in the north as smoke.

It is easy for the current industrial scale of the Song Dynasty to use this period to deploy more than a thousand heavy artillery artillery at a scheduled location in Beijing. Even ten thousand heavy artillery artillery is not a problem.

The reason why the great devil did not place a heavy bet was that the Great Demon King was not sure whether Daming Mansion would be the turning point of this Song-Liao war?

In the earliest days, the world war envisioned when the Great Demon King deployed the internal migration of the industry was to take into account the conditions of "the fall of Daming Mansion".

But because the great devil came to power early, there were variables that occurred either early or late.

In short, no matter what, the end of August sixty days later will be the most important moment in the Song Dynasty.

It has been confirmed that the first-generation strategic bomber cannot be put into service at this time node. If Beijing has a tendency to fall and must blow up Beijing aircraft manufacturing plant and wind tunnel, the takeoff of the first-generation strategic bomber will be extended by at least four to five months.

But no matter what, a large-scale battle must be fought in Beijing. For this strategic interception, the Great Demon used all his prestige, strengthened the greatest hatred in the history of the Song Dynasty, destroyed more than 100 military tigers, and reorganized more than 300,000 field troops that could barely be used. Their quality is still not good, but they will participate in the largest battle of this era with a belief that has never been seen in the history of the Song Dynasty.

In order to further cooperate with these strategies, in the early morning of June 21, the Great Demon King wrote a letter to Dali Gao Zhisheng on the old desk.

As a powerful minister and actual controller of Dali during this period, Gao's political lewdness was not about the affairs of the great devil, but now he has something to ask for.

In the letter, the great devil king admitted frankly: "As a vassal state of the Song Dynasty, you need to send troops to help the sect leader country in theory. But now I know your country's thoughts, and the Song people will reason and will not make your country difficult. But in fact, the world war has begun, and now there are troops to fight everywhere. In this situation, if the result occurs, your dove-like thinking that Dali is content with a corner will be shattered. This is a historical law."

"When the laws of history determine that they are all hooligans, our Song Kingdom must be the gentlest and most polite, and can bring people's livelihood benefits to you. At the same time, as the sect leader, we are the country that least likes to interfere in other people's internal affairs. Gao Xiangming believes that I assume that you are watching the storm and the end of the Song Dynasty, and when the Xixia or Liao Kingdom are fully bordering with you, Dali, what is the way out for your Buddhist ideas in Dali? Will they not interfere in your internal affairs like the Song people and not reap the interests of your country?"

"Your country and Jiaozhi have always had heart problems. The Jiaozhi people are more aggressive and they rarely harass you. In addition to your relative poverty, the biggest reason is that my Song Dynasty is still next to Jiaozhi, which makes them have some concerns. If my Song Dynasty falls this time, Jiaozhi will join the war as the first vanguard of the Liao Kingdom. As a hero, it is a rule to divide the benefits of the war after the war. In terms of the lord-dividing system of Liao Kingdom, you, Dali and Liao Kingdom have never had a good relationship. How do you think the Jiaozhi people will treat you at that time, and what role will the Liao Kingdom play in it?"

"If you don't talk about these things, it means that your country will not send troops at a critical moment to show your determination and do not make your obligations for human justice. If our Song Dynasty does not perish and withstand the pressure of the world war, and the strategy gradually changes from contraction to expansion, even if I am generous at that time, how will our Song Dynasty citizens and the bureaucrats view the status of Dali? This is not all I can control."

"The rise and fall of the world has its own responsibilities. I sincerely suggest that your country make a difference at this time and follow the footsteps of the Song Dynasty. I do not force others to do anything to do, and I need your country to really send troops. You only need your country to make military deployments on the border to scare the people of Jiaozhi and let them slow down to cooperate with the launch of the new round of policy in Guangnan. That's all. Gao Xiang, you must clearly realize that you don't need to be careful to offend Jiaozhi now, because you are already hostile to them. In the early morning of June 21, Song Guoshu judged Wang Rongshu and respected the Prime Minister of Dali Gao Zhisheng."

After writing, I read it again. At the same time, I reached out to the side to make a tea bowl refreshing, but found that the tea bowl was empty and no one added water.

When he saw Xu Le was sleepy and dozing off next to him, he slapped the table and said, "Why are you still standing there? I dreamed that it was raining in Qianyu or got married? Why don't you hurry up and add water to me?"

After Xu Le woke up, he laughed and said, "I dreamed that you were kind to your subordinates and gave you a lot of overtime subsidies."

While saying that, he added water to the Great Demon King.

However, there was no overtime allowance. I didn't cut the "cold drink fee" of the turtle son because I saw that his little sister was pitiful. His sister was Erya's friend and classmate. After Erya said that if he gave her little sister some dried fish, her little sister could eat it for a morning with relish. And she would pretend to have finished eating, but secretly took some home.

Erya didn't know what his little sister brought the dried fish slices back, but Erya gave them to Zhang Xiaohua and San Shao. Such playboys usually threw them away after taking a few bites. They felt that the dried fish made by Erya was not famous, had no taste, and they didn't like to eat them.

After adding water, Xu Le said in a long-winded manner: "I thought I was going to be scolded by you, so why did you avoid it again?"

The big devil was not busy with anything else and asked, "How is your little sister's grades?"

"Is she a little confused? If she is half as smart as me, I will feel relieved. I don't need to worry about her in the future." Xu Le said worriedly.

The great devil said: "It is mainly a problem in the field. You need to teach according to your aptitude and find the right entrance for her. Over the years, my Song Dynasty has changed a lot. Many people with specialties and skills have made life better. Being an official is no longer the main way out."

After chatting for a few words, Xu Le said again: "By the way, my husband, Lu Huiqing is too scheming. You gave him such a heavy appointment at this critical moment and handed over Guangdong to him. Will it be too much..."

Wang Rong frowned, then said warmly: "Xu Le, if I am no longer in this center one day, don't argue with Lu Huiqing anymore, otherwise you know that something will happen? Don't think he is easy to mess with, don't think he is gentle with me."

Xu Le couldn't help but be startled, stretched out his tongue, but said curiously: "My husband handed over Guangdong to Lord Lu Huiqing. In the situation where the previous Guangxi battle was not good, you withdrew the Guangdong army deployed by your father in Guangxi. This should be a big problem in Guangdong, right?"

Wang Rong nodded helplessly and murmured: "Yes, Guangdong is going to cause chaos. It is impossible to rely on Ouyang Xiu to educate and solve the problem in the Guangdong region with the most serious clan thinking. Old Ouyang is a good person, but he can add fuel to the fire, which completely detonates the Guangdong mine array in the darkest period of our Song Dynasty."

He paused and said, "The reason why I have always opposed the clan and local sages and religious atmosphere is that to a certain extent, the existence of these two is the seizure of power from the government. Moreover, under the soil of clan and religious, any small problem can be infinitely amplified. Now there are frequent chaos in the southern region, and once a fight occurs, it will be hundreds or even thousands of times. This is the cause of the local sages and cult leaders."

"The problems in Guangdong during this period need to be viewed independently. The religious problems are not as serious as other ways. That is because Guangdong has a stronger clan thinking. Religious missionary missions were slammed out by those local geniuses and ran away many years ago. This is especially true in Chaoshan area."

Finally, Wang Rong said: "There is a fatal problem in Guangdong now that the volume of private production is very large, and it accounts for a large proportion in my Song Dynasty. Then, my Song Dynasty lacks copper and they have copper, so there will naturally be countless tricks. This is a riot of interests."

Xu Le said curiously: "Since you have copper, you should have money and be rich. Why is Guangdong a backward area in my Song Dynasty?"

Wang Rong said: "It's very simple. Although there is a large number of copper smelting industries in Guangdong, it is not the people themselves. A large amount of surplus value has been taken away by the local geniuses."

Xu Le didn't understand and spread his hands and asked, "It's unreasonable, why can the local sages take away other people's fruits?"

Wang Rong said: "Because according to the views of the old scholars of corrupt Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism, if a father wants his son to die, he cannot live. The clan has its own clan law and can be executed with the reputation of family law. The judges of our government dare not kill people, but the local genius dares. The police officers of our government are not afraid to take money, but the local genius dares. The village genius under the government do not work hard, but the village genius under the township work hard, and persecutes the villagers too cruelly. This is the nature of a gang, and it is a gang that is a gang that is in accordance with religious thinking. So what do you do? In the case of the government itself being a mountain, in addition to paying national taxes, the common people have another mountain that is 'scented and oil money from the ancestral hall'. Xu Le, ask yourself, will the gang ask for a gang in the gang be gentler than the tax rate of the government?"

"..." Xu Le was speechless.

Wang Rong continued: "In such a climate of deteriorating administration, on the one hand, our Song Dynasty court deflated, but there was a copper court in the country but could not get it. On the other hand, the rich local sages turned all the hard currency into privately cast coins and hid them in the cellar. This is the root of the contradiction."

"This is a distribution mistake in the State dynasty at the macro level. But from a micro perspective, Guangdong faces a specific problem: the first mine has been detonated now, which is Qujiang County."

"There are no other industries. The people have strong smelting technology and foundations. Almost the entire county people make a living by producing copper. After the people produced copper, a large amount of surplus value was taken away by the local genius, and they themselves accumulated a small amount of copper. Since last year, due to the change in the East China Sea situation, the silver from the Japanese island in our Song Dynasty was cut off, and the domestic copper became even scarce. The policy of the Sansi Department was to force local governments, especially Guangdong, to confiscate copper to the greatest extent and include it in the Sansi State Treasury to fill the gap."

"In this case, Qujiang County made a big jump with insufficient foundation in order to embellish its political achievements. In the case of Qujiang County without a mass base, it adopted the situation of Guangdong road official Jiazi and Baitiao, and took away the copper deposited from the copper household, which eventually led to the inability to cash out."

Hearing this, Xu Le thought for a while and said, "Objectively speaking, the officials believed that there was no major mistake in Qujiang County in theory. Since it was the three departments' policy, they would implement it. It is impossible to use copper coins and silver to buy it at the same time. Otherwise, when buying copper, the court would pay copper, so it would not be able to alleviate the lack of hard currency?"

Wang Rong smiled and said, "You are not talking about the general direction. It is indeed the reason. The policy of the Sansi Department at that time also recommended that banknotes be Jiaozi. The problem is that the person Bao Zheng hated the most was Cao Ji, so he did not agree to go to Guangdong to exchange it with Cao Ji's Bank of Communications to Guangdong. Instead, he used Guangdong's own official Jiaozi. Well, Lao Bao's intentions are generally correct, but I want to ask a question? With the long-term lack of credibility of the government, even the government does not want its own official Jiaozi when collecting taxes. He still wants the people to force it to accept it. Is he a god?"

"The people's request is very simple. He doesn't care whether it is copper coins or paper money. He only asks to exchange for the supplies he wants with a 'white stick', so he trusts it. If he can't exchange it, he doesn't trust it. It's such a simple truth."

"Now, the maximum production capacity of civilian products comes from Cao Ji and Ye Qinghua, which means that their Bank of Communications has the strongest repayment ability in the Song Dynasty. The only folk junks recognized by the imperial court and even local governments are mainly these ones. Basically, it can also be seen as: only when ordinary people hold these junks can they successfully cash out and buy the civilian products they want."

"So there was a vicious cycle. On the one hand, Bao Zheng did not let go, and on the other hand, Qujiang County took away the copper deposits from the people. The number of people involved has been involved so far, but the number of people involved is almost the whole county, but the people cannot fulfill the money. They asked Qujiang County Government to return the copper to them. Of course, this request is not too much. Well, Quyang County Magistrate has no level, but he is really not a rogue in the country. He admitted that he took the copper. The one who admitted that he had accepted the account was that the whole country is short of copper, and he really has no copper to repay the people."

Speaking of this, the Great Demon King took a deep breath and concluded: "Now you know, why did I urgently withdraw the Guangdong Army that had already entered Guangxi and participated in the war in the war in Guangxi for deployment?"

Xu Le also felt something was wrong, "It makes sense. When the clan forces in Guangdong are so powerful, there is no religion to restrain them. The interests that originally belonged to the clan were taken away by the government and could not be dealt with. In this case, many areas in the southeast are causing trouble, and the court and the imperial guards do not have a policy correspondence, so it is difficult to ensure that those local geniuses do not incite trouble. Oh no, they don't even need to incite them. In the case of political mistakes in the government, they will cause chaos if they just say a word."

Wang Rong nodded: "This is why I appointed Guangdong to Lu Huiqing. It is not that the Guangxi battlefield needs him. In fact, I can send someone else to Guangxi. But it is Lu Huiqing who will solve the Guangdong problem."

Xu Ledao: "But the resolution of the Renming Palace Conference, Ouyang Xiu is the 'commander-in-chief' of the South's education. Will your arrangement be..."

Wang Rong sneered, "Do you depend on them? You won't know when the Song Dynasty pills will be there. Let me tell you, the people who really support the politics of the local sages in the Song Dynasty are Wen Yanbo and Ouyang Xiu. In this way, you can imagine what means Ouyang Xiu will use to solve the Guangdong problem. I don't need to ask, I know that he will be lazy in politics, compromise, and hand over the grassroots politics to the local sages. He bowed and said, "Thank you for your hard work, you elders, village tyrants." Compared to my policy, this is called losing power and humiliating the country. Children know that if there is no food planting in the fields, other weeds will go in. My Song Dynasty problems are frequent, because the government's rights do not go to the countryside. Because the people who share the world are the local sages, not the people. Because they do not understand the principle that the people are the people who value the country and the country are the second."

At this point, the great devil knocked on the table and said, "To put it bluntly, this is incompetence and lazy government. The official ignored the interests of the people and appointed the matter to the village tyrants, participated in the dinner party and night banquets of the village tyrants, drank some wine, touched the thighs of the helping women, and received some small bribes to gain respect. There is no need to break the legs, no need to attract hatred, no need to face the stinky and complaints of the villagers, and no need to solve the sufferings of the bottom. Such officials are of course easy to do, the problem is that they are easy to do, they are playboys, but what they squander is the credibility of me and the emperor! Damn it is unbearable, and I really want to smash these temples and clan ancestral halls, smash these bureaucratic luxury desks. This is not my concern for the country and the people, but the interests are chaotic. They did not do things for me and the emperor, but for us, they are just causing us a lot of trouble."

Damn, seeing that the Great Demon King was already good, but he became more and more angry as he spoke. Khan, Xu Le, if he continued, he would take his husbands, including Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, to sacrifice to the flag, and then the politics would be in chaos.

So Xu Le quickly said, "My husband, you have tried your best. Now is not the time to talk about these things, but to solve the problem in Guangdong in detail. It's night, you should take a shower and go to bed."

"Hey, what are you doing? I can't sleep now! Is it interesting to force me to tie me to the bed?"

The great devil continued to curse, but was forced to sleep by a group of secretaries.

In short, the control of the whole country is also beneficial to the system. The great devil has a premonition that one day he will be given to these turtle sons as gods in this Guan Mansion, and that it will even be a kind of house arrest, and in the end the world will be messed up by them.

I'm afraid that the great devil will leave Bianjing to pull his own team to fight them, and at most it will only delay it for decades before it will be restored. This is the "lifespan" theory in the laws of the universe, and the universe itself has a lifespan to follow.

So let's go to bed, each generation does its own thing. The Great Demon King believes that his mission in the Song Dynasty will be completed within a few years, and he still needs to learn to let go of it after picking it up...
Chapter completed!
