Previously, the "small town" of Kuaihuolin was a black household and was not on the court list. This time, Chang Wei reported it to the court. The blame was left on Shi En and his son: the two traitors set up private towns and swallowed up the taxes of the court.

The Zhao Guan family was a greedy person. After hearing this, they said unhappily in court: "Is the father and son of the Shi family hateful? Is the people who are greedy for my taxes and fees, fish and meat, and I will punish them?"

Then he heard that the Shi family and his son were beheaded and ransacked. Although the emperor thought that Lao Chang was too cruel and did not look like a gentle scholar, he did not care much about it. He did not commend or blame him.

No one in the court understood how the Mengzhou Prison Camp rebelled. It was a bit complicated to put the mastermind on the Shi family and his son, and it required too much evidence. So no one cared about this matter at all. A group of old men led by Zhao Ji felt superficially that it was normal for labor reform to commit rebellion, but fortunately they were wiped out when the "famous general Cao Zhong" passed by.

"How can I get a strong man to guard the world? My country will be kept by a strong man like Cao Zhong. Gao Qing recommends famous generals and is awarded the title of Taiwei."

I heard that Zhao Ji was in a good mood in the court a few days ago and promoted Gao Qiu to the position. This way, the ministers, including Zhang Shuye, almost fainted and fell to the ground, thinking that the two pests of the Gao family were really terrible.

"Well, the treacherous father is now the veritable Taiwei Gao?"

After receiving the letter from home on the way back, Gao Fangping sighed, "It's a foolish monarch." But if he hadn't been a foolish monarch, the Gao family's father and son would have been captured and beheaded by him...

"The last general holds Dang Shixiong, the seventh general of the Japanese army, and comes to welcome the Yanei at the order of Taiwei Gao."

When he approached the north gate of Bianjing, a team of imperial guards had been waiting here to welcome him. This guy was Gao Qiu's true confidant and a high-ranking official. The seventh formation was the same as Xu Ning's current official position, so he could only call him Yanei and not "Gao Da Ren".

"Haha, don't be too polite, General Party." Gao Fangping was very kind.

"Yanei is back. The Grand Marshal misses you all day long, and his eyes are red in tears." Dang Shixiong said.

Hum, Gao Qiu is a treacherous minister and not a woman. This is a talented man in the Party. He can become an official by just speaking. Unfortunately, he is a general. The generals of the Song Dynasty have such virtues. In fact, many of the literati in the Song Dynasty have some backbone. It would be great if the character of the military officials and civil officials in the Song Dynasty was reversed. The words of the military officials were given to the civil officials, and the domineering and backbone of the civil officials were saved.

"Uh... Can Yanei help the Mo Jiang?" Dang Shixiong's fox tail was revealed. "I heard that Xu Zheng needs manpower in reorganizing the new army? Can he transfer the Mo Jiang's command more?"

A corrupt official.

In the Song Dynasty, the soldiers under his command were burdens, and any general was counting on sending people out. It would be better to have the organization and military expenditure of a military, but only one money and grain under his command would be enough to settle the accounts. So, it was not surprising that Xu Ning wanted people and supported the Japanese army to send people out.

However, the sixth floor post and the fourth floor are the rules and bottom line of the imperial guards formulated by Gao Qiu. Even if Ma Shuai Bu Shuai is not Gao Qiu's subordinates, they dare not violate it. After all, this is the royal imperial guard guarding the capital.

If it was the wing army outside, it would be common to have a floor below the fifth floor. For example, Cao Zhong, a famous general in the official family, had a rank of 3,000, but now it is only about 1,200. After the 1,000 beggars built the prison camp, it was estimated that Lao Chang would lock up 300 of them and beat them up, and all the rest were organized under Cao Zhong's command to eat food.

Then General Cao became a tragedy in his mind. So he wanted to rely on him to wipe out the bandits in Mengzhou, which was a dream.

But these situations were normal in the Song Dynasty. The reason why the army was so bloated was that seven out of ten of the finances were used to support the army and the Xiang army was so chaotic was actually because once there was a difficulty in some place and the large area of ​​the people could not survive, in order not to cause mutiny and not to increase the power of the Beggars' Gang, the court organized them into military households to eat food. Occasionally, some beggars and bandits would enter the Xiang army to eat food.

If these things need to be reformed, even if Wang Anshi’s head is as big as his head, he will have a long way to go.

After YY, Gao Fangping said: "General Dang Shixiong, you are my father's confidant and be loyal to the Gao family. I know this, but about war horses..."

Dang Shixiong felt distressed and did not respond with a bitter face.

Gao Fangping ignored him. He wanted to drive everyone away, but kept his war horses to show off. How could it be so cheap?

In theory, war horses also need to eat food and grass. When they send the horses out, they can even eat food from war horses. Unfortunately, the Song Dynasty was very cold and there were not many military rations for horses. The horses were very thin, and then war horses could be rented in the hands of these guys.

That's right, as an imperial guard, he dared not rent it out. More than a hundred people moved their heads and moved, but going out of war horses is not considered a military mobilization, so these guys would do the business of renting war horses, which is considered as entrusting others to train horses.

"Two brothers in the world, I'll give you a clear price tag. One person will match two horses, which is the minimum limit." Gao Fangping said to him for fear of Dang Shixiong's shoulders.

Dang Shixiong had planned that the business of renting war horses was small after all, and the risk was too high. Once the war horses died and couldn't be collected, something big happened. However, the empty salary for the personnel was available every month, so he fought and said with a fist: "Yanei is powerful, with 500 people and 1,000 war horses. Tomorrow, he will be promoted to the eighth formation of the Japanese army."

Gao Fangping was relieved. Dang Shixiong's foundation was emptied for a thousand war horses.

There were too few cavalry in the Song Dynasty. Even if it was one of the most elite, the four armies, there were at most two cavalry. As for the guards, although it was called the horse army, it would be good if they had a first-level cavalry. If Zhong Shidao had a third-level cavalry, that guy could overturn the "fortress defense extreme tactics" that were exhausted and damaged the people, and changed to the hard-core tactics with the barbarians, but unfortunately he did not.

...

The mansion was filled with joy, and the pig head manager Xiaoduo and a group of Gao Qiu's concubines set off firecrackers at the door to greet him.

Gao Qiu cursed inside because the pig was running wildly, and now people outside called him "Pig Taiwei".

Then, a group of vegetable farmers outside who were waiting to buy pig shit were blown away by firecrackers.

"Master, please take care of this pig, and the rouge I bought was eaten by it." Gao Qiu's favorite concubine, Aunt Qing, was complaining.

"How to deal with it? Mom, I am the Grand Marshal of the dynasty, but I live in the pigpen. I feel embarrassed to ask someone to tell me that Bu Shuai Ma Shuai is watching my husband's jokes all day long. Even the officials listed this as a joke to make fun of him. The emperor actually said that I was worried about the country and the people and were thrifty in the family, which was much better than the famous prime minister Kou Zhun. As for the street market, people called my son pork flat." Gao Qiu shouted inside.

"I have disliked Xiao Duo, a dead girl, for a long time. These are all made by her."

"That's the official of Xiao Gaofeng. Is it not convenient for me to murder Xiao Duo?"

...

As a person, you must be filial. The first thing you do when you go home is to pay your respects to Mr. Gao Qiu.

When he went to the study, Gao Qiu smiled and said, "My son is mighty and has been instructing the country thousands of miles away. Your novel auction method can actually sell Mengzhou's military achievements to 100,000 yuan. It's amazing. I heard that your trip to Beijing 1 Beijing has also accumulated a lot of money, nearly 100,000 yuan. Alas, I really can't make it. Even making money is far from your opponent."

"Dad, you are polite. If you were not for the treacherous minister, I would not have been so smooth for my son." Gao Fangping said in a slight manner.

Gao Qiu twisted his beard and smiled, "The battle at the Mengzhou Prison Camp shows that my son is brave and good at fighting. Unfortunately, I am reluctant to bring you into the Wuchen series. However, there are not many civil officials who can help you for your father in the future. I can only watch you go upstream. Come on, look forward to you for your father."

"Yeah, I will come on my son. When I turn 17 at the end of the year, the Ministry of Personnel will send me a real shortage. I will make achievements. I don't ask you to help me. In fact, the ironwork must be strong. As long as you dare to be like a scoundrel, you will not be fooled by others in the court, it will be great." Gao Fangping finished speaking, and was slapped in the back of his head.

Gao Qiu was very annoyed when he was called a scoundrel, but he also knew that this kid was so vicious that he was always nervous.

Gao Fangping covered his head and said, "Dad, how is the situation recently?"

At this point, Gao Qiu sighed and said, "Oh, I have tried my best. Now the court changes three times a day, and you are not in the capital. You are so scared that you are all day long!"

Gao Fangping also sighed that his father, who was used to storms, was scared so miserably.

Gao Qiu twisted his beard and thought about it for a moment, and then said, "A few days ago, before the Western Xia envoy entered the capital, I had already found an excuse for the routine military service of the Palace Front Office according to your idea. I asked Your Majesty to inspect the imperial guards at the military academy. The military resources of the imperial guards are OK. I asked myself to do a good job in these storefronts. After laying the groundwork for my father's slander, the officials who had never liked military affairs really asked, "Can they let them practice for me?" So I used a treacherous plan, saying that a large-scale drill may cause too much damage, so I can only practice 300 people? Your Majesty said 'It's in line with my wish'. So, I took the remaining 300 people from Xu Ning's troops to review."

After pausing, Gao Qiu said, "The official family was overjoyed and said, 'Gao Qing is really my humeral. When I see my imperial guards bravely and good at fighting, I feel relieved.'"

“…”

Gao Fangping was speechless, but Zhao Ji was so vigilant that he was so easy to be fooled. Otherwise, how could Cai Jing make a mess of the country?

"It was originally very smooth. The officials believed that after the great Song Dynasty was strong, they had sufficient confidence. As I expected, after the Xixia envoy entered Beijing, they encountered many walls during the negotiations. Although the negotiating officials Zhang Shumi and Tong Guan and Cai Jing wore pairs of pants and tried every means to deceive Your Majesty to return the land to Xixia. But think about it, the government is so greedy and stingy, once the officials have confidence in the imperial guards, how can they be willing to return the land to Xixia? The so-called human hearts are also fleshy. Some people always say that the government is a foolish monarch and write articles to scold him. I first disagree. In fact, the government knows that those lands were exchanged for his people with blood. So, when they couldn't reach an agreement with Xixia, the government was very unhappy, scolded Zhang Kangguo, and then ignored the Xixia envoy. As my son said, the price in the heart of the government is: negotiate peace and not give land." Gao Qiu sighed.

Gao Fangping breathed a sigh of relief, that's good. It just so happened that when the official family had this mentality, Zhao Tingzhi and Liu Kui who temporarily turned into the war faction could win back the battle. It was very simple. At this time, the war faction would naturally gain some favor from the official family.

Gao Qiu continued: "But the situation took a sharp turn for the worse because of the actions of the old hooligan Zong Shidao. Not only did he build a city like a nail house, but he built a city south of Xiping Prefecture. He also took advantage of the situation and found an excuse to start a war again. Do you know the reason? In addition to building the city, he sent a group of soldiers to curse the people of Xixia near Xiping Prefecture. Once he was too close, a new recruit in Xixia relaxed his hand, accidentally let an arrow go, and injured a Song soldier.

.Zhong Shidao, a stinky gangster, dared to kidnap the official family. He said with great fanfare that the emperor's people's guards were shot and killed by the barbarians, which was an absolute challenge to the Han imperial power! So he even went to war against Xixia without even waiting for the order of the commander Tong Guan. The troops surrounded Xiping Prefecture and sent people to "draw grass valley" in Xixia. This was the summer grain harvest. The farmers in Xixia were miserable. They were robbed by Zhong Shidao's subordinates and ran away. The grain waiting for harvest in the fields was planted with such a caste."

sweat.

Xiaozhong’s husband was very fierce. Gao Fangping encouraged Master Zhong to provoke the war was a secret, and even Gao Qiu didn’t tell him, otherwise such a big thing would have not been skinned.

Gao Qiu said viciously: "Others don't understand Zhong Shidao, and think it's the arrogant man of Xixia. But I and Cai Jing knew that this was the military provocation of Zhong Shidao. Because Tao Jiefu was determined to die on Yongxing Army Road and stared at Xiazhou, the peace conspirators of Xixia were working hard in Tokyo. In this way, Zhong Shidao's soldiers surrounded Xiping Prefecture but did not attack, and only plundered Xixia. They were so scared that Zhuola, the Southern Army Office and the Baimaqiang Town Army Office did not dare to move, and could only watch the evil ghost on Zhong Shidao and snatched every grain of food from the Xixia field."
