Chapter 375: Pork Ping makes trouble again
Zheng He's current wife, her ex-husband, died after serving in the Yongle Army, and she didn't like to fight. So after hearing this, she muttered: "War is not a matter of the end, and war will surely perish. How many people will die in the battle of Song and Xia again? One general will succeed and ten thousand bones are bleak..."
"You know what the hell is, prodigal girls!" Master Zhong was so angry that he slapped the woman shut up with a slap.
Gao Fangping was embarrassed and it was not convenient to say anything, so he had to smooth things over and said, "Don't suck, suck suck."
The woman felt wronged, but Zheng He lowered his head and pretended to be a grandson. He quietly gestured and said: Don't bother with the old man, he has this kind of virtue, and he only has this thought in his life, and told him that everything else is for a shot.
"Little Gao Gong, what do you say?" Zhong Shidao clasped his fists at Gao Fangping.
Gao Fangping said awkwardly: "It's true that I'm not a young official now, but Mr. Zhong seems to treat me as prime minister. Isn't this still far from it?"
"I know you have the most ideas. Others can't do it, but you may have a way." Mr. Zhong said.
Gao Fangping sighed, not knowing what to say about him. As an old man, he may not really dislike Xixia. He just said that fighting with the Xixia barbarians has become a part of his life, and it is a kind of thought. As the current soul figure of the Zong Family Army, he is already in his fifties and wants an answer to his military career, so that he can bring it into the coffin in the future and the glory of a commander for his life.
However, this is really a luxury for him.
Lu Huiqing is better than him and is better at engaging in the camp. He also presided over the Fourth Song-Xia War. However, now he is still caught in an unknown corner and is waiting to die. A while ago, Lao Lu's son finally took the lead and took a breath, and was demoted from Beijing by Cai Jing using the Zhang Huaisu case.
Xia Shu, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, Zhong E, Zeng Bu, Lu Huiqing, and the current Tao Jiefu, Tong Guan, and Liu Yanqing all wanted to achieve success in the battle between Song and Xia and fulfill their own lives. But no one had any results, so he, Zhong Shidao, is no exception.
In Gao Fangping's eyes, the Western Xia problem is simply a problem with the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom problem is not solved, the Western Xia problem will not have any results.
The Liao Kingdom was behind every battle between Song and Xia. Every time the Song Dynasty gained the upper hand, the Liao Kingdom would intervene diplomatically, putting pressure on the Song Dynasty court, so the pressure on the court turned into pressure from the Northwest Front Army. In the end, countless national strength was spent, and they stopped fighting and stopped fighting. Without any play, the tug-of-war was almost naked, and the Han Wa was killed and injured, and the military expenditure was almost exhausted. However, the Liao Kingdom always looked at the wall with a big belly, and it looked like a great power.
The northwest is a political issue, not a military issue in the mind of Zhong Shidao. If he does not accept this, Zhong Shidao will never win the fifth battle between Song and Xia that he thought!
When the time is ripe, if Gao Fangping starts the fifth battle between Song and Xia, he will take down Xingqing Prefecture within one month and wipe out all the main field forces of Xixia by three at the latest. That is called fighting. If you can't do it, don't fight for the time being.
"There should be no place for you to use in Xixia during the time period, but the north is not peaceful now. Perhaps within five years, the Hejian Mansion will need the old man to wear armor to take charge of the defense line." Gao Fangping said.
Zhong Shidao was not confused, and narrowed his eyes and said, "Whether your entry into Gaotang to capture the Chai family is related to the Liao Dynasty's issue."
"Related." Gao Fangping said this.
Mr. Zhong was very smart and didn't ask too much. Of course he was not stupid. He would die of a bad death when he was involved in the affairs of the Chai family.
In short, when he heard that it was possible to manage He1, the old bird was relieved. He just didn't like to stay in the capital and wanted to cut off a few people. As for whether to cut off Dangxiang or Khitan, there was a difference between having sex. It was better to cut off than not having to cut off.
"But during this period, it is very important for you to take charge of the Ma Junsi. The emperor appointed you, and if you don't come up with some answers, you can't bring out an army that can only withstand the first wave of Liao cavalry in Hejian Prefecture. You have to have a heavy trust from the officials and the people. If you go out and see, most of the taxes and fees paid by those miserable people outside will be used to pay your salary and the military expenses of the Ma Junsi. If this money is wasted, the Liao soldiers attacked Tokyo and fucked them. Is it a big irony?" Gao Fangping laughed again.
Zhong Shidao said a little embarrassedly: "Your treacherous father is ten times more responsible than me."
"When you want to compete with him, you might as well change your position and take a shower and sleep, and you still want to fight? When the barbarian generals headed south, my treacherous father would take the emperor to the south to continue playing football. He would still be drunk and dream of death if he changes his place. Do you have the lower limit of his unrestrainedness?" Gao Fangping said.
Mr. Zhong thought for a while and said, "If it were him, I will hang up your foul first and beat you to death!"
In Zhong Shidao, this place is different from the Gao family. There is no atmosphere to eat hot pot, so you don’t have to grab it. You can’t finish it slowly, and there is only half a pot left.
After drinking and eating, Zhong Shidao gave Jiangnan the secret code to contact the undercover agents, and promised to send Bi Shijing's troops to mobilize the horses of the guards' horses and follow Gao Fangping south to Jiangzhou with a full cavalry lineup.
Bi Shijing's troops were model soldiers within the Ma Jun Division, and were a sharp knife troops that Zhong Shidao had always been working hard to build.
During the previous period of Yang Du Commander, the Ma Junsi was a staff of the sixth floor and the fourth floor. Bi Shijing could not let go without following the crowd. If he did not accept or take money, he would not be able to be an official.
After Zhong Shidao took office, he certainly knew that Bi Shijing was a useful person, so all veterans who further returned to Beijing from the northwest were incorporated into Bi Shijing's troops and trained them according to the standards of the backbone army. The purpose was that once the Tianshi Guards and the Ma Junshi went to war, they all took the opportunity to drink tea. After Bi Shijing's troops were dispersed and entered, they were basically a barely qualified army.
This time, in order to please Gao Fangping, Lao Zhong gave all the belongings in the box...
There were still some days in Beijing. After Gao Fangping asked Zhang Shuye to report his work, he submitted the document for transfer of the ship to the Ministry of Works, waiting for the arrangements for shipping to go south.
Yes, the canal transportation is also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry Water Department.
Now the rule of the six ministries is gradually expanding, because Cai Jing became the prime minister. Because the six ministries are the territory of the prime minister, the greater the rule of the six ministries, the stronger the tentacles of Cai Jing will be. The rumored a while ago, Cai Jing wanted to change the military system, but in fact, he wanted to take part of the military power from the Privy Council and the Third Office back to the Ministry of War.
Just like when Yuanfeng was reorganized, the financial power was taken back from the Third Division to the Ministry of Revenue. This was the first significant expansion of the power of the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. Absent a "financial prime minister" of the same level, but a large part of the power was added. Later, the military prison was gradually subscribed to the Ministry of Works, and many temples and prisons were included in the Six Ministry, and the power of the prime minister was further expanded.
During this period, the so-called three provinces were still there, but they were already in name only and were basically empty. Those positions were usually used to posthumously enfeoff after the death of a senior official. The Shangshu Province was the place where the six ministries were actually managed, but this term is gone now. Now, the Secretariat and Menxia Province were separated and combined, called "Shu Menxia", also called Dutang, which means the imperial court.
In the past, the prime minister was called the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and the ruler was to participate in politics. The deputy prime minister meant to participate in politics. Sometimes it was a minister who participated in politics and affairs. Sometimes it was a minister who participated in politics and affairs. Sometimes it was a minister who could participate in politics and affairs, which mean that there were multiple parties.
Now there is a two-phase and two-part system. The Dutang is divided into "Left and Right Sessions". The one who controls the Left Session is called the Prime Minister, which is the Left and Pushe. The one who controls the Right Session is called the Celestial, which is the Shangshu You Pushe. These are the two-phase.
As for the two sects, they are the ministers and the ministers of the ministers.
However, there is no right servant now, but Cai Jing is the unified management. Then Cai Jing also serves as the minister of the disciple, and he is the real master. The minister of the minister is Zhang Shuye.
The Left Department is in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Revenue, and Strictly speaking, this is the leader of Cai Jing. The Right Department is in charge of Zhang Shuye, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Works.
However, what is so painful is that although Zhang Shuye is the Minister of the Central Secretariat, he still serves as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so he sometimes works in the Zuodu Hall of Cai Jing. Then Zhang Shangying Shiyan was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and refused to be with Cai Jing. On the contrary, the Ministry of War is the direct descendant of Cai Jing, but the Ministry of War has no rights. The Ministry of Justice is the direct descendant of Cai Jing, so Lao Zhang is the chief in charge of the Ministry of Justice, but he cannot get in. After Zong Ze left, the Ministry of Works was also the direct descendant of Cai Jing, but it was also placed under Zhang Shuye.
So the politics of the court was very chaotic during this period. It was completely mutual restraint, hurt each other, and talked about each other.
Cai Jingniu's part is that he has a good relationship with Tao Jiefu. Old Zhangniu's part is that he holds several positions, and he is also Zhang Shuye, the head of the Privy Council.
Therefore, the shipping arrangements are very tense now. Zong Ze left the Ministry of Works, and Gao Fangping's trip to Jiangzhou was not to quell the rebellion or an emergency military task. So yes, Cai Jing didn't know what purpose he had interfered with the Ministry of Works, so even if Gao Fangping wanted to mobilize the ship to transport south, he had to queue up to wait for the inefficient operations of the bureaucrats.
A member of the Ministry of Water Affairs of the Ministry of Industry said with his hands spread out, "If Mr. Gao really can't wait, he can only walk by land."
For this reason, Gao Fangping gave the official's face a blow to the Ministry of Works at the Water Department of the Ministry of Works, and then swelled his face, which surprised everyone.
Later, he was almost captured by Zhao Ding and went to Kaifeng Mansion. Liang Hongying was smart and slipped away with Gao Fangping.
"Damn the old monster of Heishan returns to Beijing, there is absolutely no good thing. Every time that calf comes, it makes the capital city mess. It's really a matter of repeated instructions. This is the second time that the Ministry of Works officials have been attacked by him."
Zhao Ding couldn't catch Gao Fangping and could only sigh and didn't chase him. No need to think about it, that boy went to the imperial city to hide from the limelight. Kaifeng Prefecture has no law enforcement power in the imperial city. Instead, he could issue a formal document to inform the Imperial City to arrest people on his behalf. However, it would be better not to do such a painful thing, because that kid must be with the emperor or the queen. Who would do this? He would be wearing shoes.
