Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Facts have also proved that the defeat of the Jin Army's large forces at this time has become a certainty. The officers waved weapons at their soldiers in an attempt to stop the soldiers' behavior, but they were powerless.

For more than half an hour, the panic came overwhelmingly, followed by the defeat of the army.

Wanyan Zongmin's personal guards were near him, although they lost their formation, they protected Wanyan Zongmin to death.

After more than half an hour, it was already evening.

The Jin army fled towards the distance like the tide between the wide valleys.

Thousands of Jin soldiers were killed in the back. Some of them had their heads beaten and deformed, and some were pressed down by their own people and couldn't get out, screaming in despair.

There are also heads that don't know where to go.

Wanyan Zongmin led the kidnapper horse and broke out all the way.

Some kidnappers and horses even knocked down their own people in pieces, and the horses also fell to the ground.

It was slowly getting dark.

The war is basically coming to an end, it is slowly ending, and the noise is gradually subsiding.

Only the autumn wind and some weak wailing remained in the valley.

No one knows what the outcome of the battle will be.

Even Hu Yantong, Zhang Qing, and Han Shizhong couldn't meet each other. Everyone stopped near the pitch-black valley, each sticking to their own neighborhood.

After a sleepless night, it was not until dawn the next day that Han Shizhong brought people over to inspect the battlefield.

The Song army also died in battle, basically when they fought head-on with the Jin army, but most of them were defeated.

While the Jin army was in the valley, many more people were killed than the Song army.

Pieces of golden army corpses.

According to statistics, there are more than 6000 people.

Maybe even more than 7000 people.

You know, the Jin Army dispatched a total of 1 people.

Wu Shu would never know that as soon as he left, Han Shizhong almost wiped out his [-] elite troops with his back foot.

The battle on the Eastern Front was so sudden that Li Gang received the news that a large-scale Jin army had entered Dongping Mansion. The first large-scale battle on the Eastern Front ended like this, and no one knew it yet.

The front battle report received by Tokyo City is that the Golden Army has assembled from Hebei West Road and Hebei East Road. The front information shows that the center of the war is in the front line of defense.

News that the Jin army was suddenly dispatched on a large scale again spread everywhere north of the Yellow River.

The sudden war also triggered a political storm.

This political turmoil is the controversy over the Gyeonggi New Deal.

The Gyeonggi New Deal has been quickly implemented under Zhao Ning's thunderous means, but what happened on Gyeonggi Road in the past few months has undoubtedly touched the nerves of other officials and big households.

Zhao Guan's family is so messed up in Gyeonggi, will he do the same in other places in the Song Dynasty in the future?

At the beginning of September, memorials against the New Deal submitted from various quarters slammed into the imperial palace in Tokyo like a storm.

Under such a situation, some people shouted that His Majesty should stop the New Deal immediately, so as to avoid internal division and be taken advantage of by the Jin army.

A political contest triggered by the war was staged.

The conflict that many parties have tolerated broke out again in this special period.

Chapter 228 I only have a knife in my hand! (first update)

Since the second half of August, rumors of the Jin army going south have been circulating in Hebei.

Until August 22, Zhaozhou detected the traces of a large-scale Jin army and officially confirmed the southward movement of the Jin army.

By August 27, the news reached Tokyo, and a fierce debate quickly formed in the court hall in Tokyo.

The topic of this debate was still about how to fight at first, but after a few days, the direction of the topic suddenly changed.

The reason for the change of topic was that the Ministry of Household Affairs submitted a summary of the summer tax collection in the Zhengshitang.

It shows that the collection of summer tax on Jingdong East Road, Jingdongxi Road, Jingbei Road, Jingxixi Road, Shaanxi Zhulu, Huainan East Road, and Huainan West Road has dropped by at least half compared with last year.

(The two taxes refer to the summer tax in the north, the autumn tax in the south, the summer tax in the Lianghuai area, and the autumn tax in some areas)

And Hebei Lianglu and Hedong Lu were exempted from tax by Zhao Guanjia for ten years.

Now fry the pan directly.

In previous years, the north could collect at least 1700 million shi of tax and grain, but the figure reported this year was only 800 million shi.

Damn it, this data has directly traveled to the reign of Chongzhen?

On the first day of September, the memorial of Weng Yanguo, the transshipment envoy of Huainan West Road, also arrived in Tokyo.

This is a memorial that reads "concern for the country and the people".

Weng Yanguo first stated the current livelihood of the people on Huainan West Road, in one sentence: the people's hearts are in trouble.

Weng Yanguo then stated the current local security on Huainan Xialu, in one sentence: bandits are everywhere.

Immediately afterwards, Weng Yanguo stated the concerns of the local people with lofty ideals: internally, the government is collapsing, treacherous ministers are in power, and outside there are barbarians peeking at the Central Plains.

In the end, Weng Yanguo stated the situation about this tax collection: I am guilty of death, but I have done my best, and I hope your majesty will give me death.

The general content is these four points.

It was also this memorial that shifted the court's attention from how to support the front line to the New Deal.

The "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy Regulations" was released on the sixth day of June, and it is already early September.

After three months, almost all the resistance on Gyeonggi Road was quickly suppressed.

Different from Wang Anshi's reform, this time the "Gyeonggi Road New Agricultural Policy Regulations" is the official Zhao's behind the scenes, fast and ruthless.

But if the road to reform is so simple, wouldn't the emperors of all dynasties be able to save a weakened dynasty casually?

The difficulty of reform is that it is easy to affect the whole body by pulling one hair out.

After the implementation of Gyeonggi Road, the impact has finally been shown in the summer tax collection this time.

The details are condensed in Weng Yanguo's memorial.

This memorandum, on the surface, talks about people's livelihood, but in fact behind every item is an allusion to the bad influence brought about by the new policy of Gyeonggi-ro.

For example, the people's hearts are uneasy, which means that the imperial court killed people indiscriminately on Gyeonggi Road, causing panic among the people.

For example, local people with lofty ideals are worried, the government is corrupt, treacherous ministers are misleading the country, and foreign troubles continue. This is to directly criticize the New Deal faction, especially Gao Qiu, Qin Hui and others, flattering and controlling power, prospering prisons, and harming Zhongliang.

This memorial, coupled with the collection of this year's summer tax, immediately made some people in the court find joy.

The summer tax was not coming up, and the people's livelihood on Huainan Road was very difficult. All the spearheads were pointed at the New Deal in the three months of June, July, and August.

And in just a few days, they went from criticizing the New Deal to expressing the hope that Zhao officials would stop the New Deal.

Li Chunyou, the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, said even more seriously: If the huge internal differences cannot be quelled immediately and all parties can be stabilized, it will bring great harm to the anti-golden war.

On the ninth day of September, the second day after Han Shizhong on the Eastern Front wiped out Yan Zongmin in a big way, Zhao Ning in Tokyo City received a full hundred memorials, all of which asked him to stop the New Deal.

Zhao Ning threw all these memorials on the ground, and said angrily: "Record the names of these officials. If they are officials of the capital, immediately go and check their obvious properties!"

"If it's a local official, the Ministry of Household Affairs will send someone to check the local tax!"

These one hundred memorials are all under the banner of "anti-gold", which is really irrefutable!

Originally, the public opinion on Gyeonggi Road has turned the New Deal into the existence that gold thieves are most afraid of, but now, the direction of public opinion seems to have turned again.

It seems that the New Deal has become the biggest stumbling block of "anti-gold" overnight, and it must be dealt with quickly.

Zhao Ning here not only has a hundred memorials calling for the suspension of the New Deal, but also a hundred copies of public opinion surveys sent by Gao Qiu to report directly from various places.

And the survey of public opinion reported by the Central Secretary of the Eastern Mansion.

There are also surveys of public opinion reported by the General System Department of Shaanxi and the General System Department of Hebei Province.

Judging from various indications, Weng Yanguo's "little composition" has other intentions.

It is a counterattack by the old forces.

On Gyeonggi Road, Zhao Ning chopped up all the official households and status households who resisted the New Deal like killing chickens and ducks, which stimulated the nerves of other landlords and country gentry.

It just so happened that the Jin army was about to go south, and at this window, it was the best way to put pressure on Tokyo on the grounds of internal panic.

That Weng Yanguo could not be regarded as a treacherous and evil minister, but he obviously represented the interests of a group of people. On the surface, he was speaking, but in fact, officials, landlords, and squires of Huainan West Road were speaking behind the scenes.

Right now, it has caused a big discussion in the court.

Officials from various prefectures on Jingdongxi Road, Jingxixi Road, and Jingxixi Road made memorials one after another.

Seeing that this matter is still heating up.

Obviously, relying on the gold thieves going south, the pressure on the court to fight against the gold has increased, and they are not afraid to be tough with the court on this matter.

Mei Zhili, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood aside for a while, and then said: "Officials, why don't you suspend the New Deal first, so as to calm people's hearts, and then restore it after expulsing the gold thieves?"

"No! Never stop!" Zhao Ning said decisively, "You don't understand! This is a war! If I take one step back, they will advance ten steps! If I abolish the New Deal, who will have the energy to preside over it in the future? New Deal?"

"Do you remember what I said just now!" Zhao Guanjia turned around and stared at Mei Zhili sharply, "The Ministry of Household Affairs will send someone to investigate immediately! Check local taxation. If anyone dares to evade taxes or evade taxes, hand over all the lists to me. !"

Mei Zhili immediately said: "Yes! I will go to Dong Mansion to discuss with Mr. Zhao, and we will do it immediately."

After Mei Zhili went down, Zhao Ning turned around and summoned someone.

Who?

Chen Guoting, the imperial historian.

Can sending the account department to investigate can solve this matter?

Can't solve it!

Those officials from the Ministry of Households can count on it?

Obviously enough.

"Officials."

"Have you heard about the northern summer tax?"

"The minister has heard a little bit."

"Okay, the Yushitai will send it to various places to monitor the censors, and let me check carefully to see who dares to evade taxes!"

"Sir, let's do it now!"

It's not over yet, can it be enough to rely on the local supervisory censor?

If it is possible, the administration of the Great Song Dynasty collapsed to such an extent?

Zhao Ning immediately announced another person.

Who?

Nie Chang!

What?

Set up the Su Provincial Court, and immediately send people to the local government to check the accounts in the name of anti-corruption and clean government!

Some time ago, after Zhao Ding returned from Huainan, he reported the actual situation in the local area. Didn't Zhao Ning send someone to Huainan to check the fields in a low-key way?

It's time to make progress.

That being the case, it's time for the anti-corruption department to step in!

Are you playing tricks with me?

How to do it?

I'm not a scheming person, I only have a knife in my hand!

Chapter 229 Stormy Storm (Second Update)

The yamen of Su Provincial Yuan undertakes the functions of anti-corruption and clean government.

It is obviously not enough to rely on the local judicial yamen of the Song Dynasty to point out the supervision officials of the Criminal and Prison Department, and it is obviously still not enough to rely on the supervision of the censor to supervise the officials of the whole road.

Nie Chang, a civil servant with a bad temper, a civil servant with an upright personality, and a civil servant who hates evil like a hatred.

How cruel is he?

When the Jin army first went south, Chen Dong and other imperial students demanded that the "six thieves" be punished, and Song Qinzong, who had just succeeded to the throne, was forced to dismiss Cai Jing and others.
