Northwest battle report, great victory in Yulin.

Wang Shangshu picked the most important and what the Holy Majesty wanted to know the most, and briefly reported the victory:

At the beginning of February, the captives attacked the side wall from Gushanbao to Huangfuchuan. Yang Rong, the governor of Shaanxi, Cao Guogong Xu Yi, the commander-in-chief of the guard, and Tang Luan, Lan Tianbo, the deputy commander-in-chief, led the army to behead more than [-] people, and captured more than [-] captives. There are hundreds of good horses outside the Great Wall, fine iron armor... and a Zhenguan cannon that was seized when Dabian was trampled by the captives in the past.

The whole court was cheered up by the news.

The cannons prepared at the border are all fine copper cannons cast by the Taizu when the country was founded, and the silver for casting the cannons can be ignored. More importantly, these cannons symbolize the great Zheng Guowei.At the beginning, because the frontier was not repaired, it was snatched by the captives and turned into a siege weapon. It was really a shame to the officers and soldiers of Dazheng. Now that they have snatched another one back, how can it not surprise the officials!

Xintai Emperor praised with a smile on his face: "Yang Rong has made great achievements in controlling the border! Xu and Tang also have the merit of leading the army. They ordered the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War to propose rewards and place the city cannons on the spot in Gushan Fort."

This feat is different from ordinary big victories, at least one must increase rank and salary, and counting the heads and captives, perhaps one will also be promoted to rank.The generals in the palace were envious, and the king of Qi couldn't help but feel sore when he thought of how much benefit the king of Zhou would gain from this great victory by controlling the nine sides.

Originally he wanted to go to the border, but was snatched away by his elder brother. The third brother took the lead in the economic park and bought Xian Ming, but now he has ended up in such a position...

He only cared about regretting the past, but he didn't pay attention to what Wang Bingshang said below.It wasn't until the eunuch next to the father raised his voice to ask questions that he regained his spirit: "How did Yang, Xu, Tang and others win that day? What is the relationship between this victory and the Song Dynasty? Why did Governor Yang keep him in Shaanxi? "

Yes, the victory of Gushanbao was due to Yang Zuoshi's good command of the battle formation, and the reason why the soldiers in the army used their lives. What does it have to do with a person who planted Jiahe and made farm tools in Song Dynasty?

Not only the king of Qi, but also the king of Wei was staring at Wang Shangshu closely, hoping that his industrial park could add another thing of the sacred heart.

Wang Shangshu quickly replied: "Yang Shilang's report on the victory said that in this battle, Dalu smuggled the magic cannons from Taizu Town to attack the side wall. He was using the cannons to break through the side wall and sneak into the pass to rob him. Fortunately, he was patrolled The soldiers saw that Yang Shilang and others used the gasoline obtained from refining kerosene by Song Zhifu and Huan Yushi to burn it, and burned the cannon cart, and the body of the cannon was burnt soft, and the horses and captives were burnt. It is difficult to count.”

The climate at the frontier was extremely dry, and the captives did not carry much water with them, and the stone fat water could not be removed when it touched the body, and it would not be extinguished when it was burned. The gasoline refined from it also had the same effect.

This gasoline can only be contained in iron or glass bottles. Song Zhifu also tried to produce a kind of gasoline bottle that can be ignited and thrown. Lord Yang specially ordered someone to make a small catapult-like bottle thrower for it. military.Some of those bottles exploded when they hit the ground, and some exploded into a cloud of fire in the air. When they touched people, horses, or artillery carts a little, they burned into a ball.

The captives all came on horses, and the fire was beating endlessly. People could bear to escape, but the horses couldn't. They ran away in panic and killed many riders.The frontier army waited for work with ease, and at this time, they deployed their guns and drew their bows, and lightly captured hundreds of captives who intended to cross the border.

Wang Ji reported the great victory clearly, bowed and said: "Governor Yang and others captured the sons of Tatar princes and princes, and they will go to Beijing to offer captives at the beginning of next month. The truth is in the detailed article, I hope your majesty will find out. "

He handed the Chinese letter in his hand to the servants, seeing the emperor's face full of brilliance, rejoicing at this great victory, he said something on behalf of Mr. Zhang Ge and Governor Yang:

This big victory really depends on this oil, and this gasoline is extremely difficult to refine - Song Zhifu brought the entire Hanzhong College students to refine petroleum jelly water, but only a few dozen catties, all here Used up in WWI.Now he is trying to manufacture a large kiln that can refine hundreds of catties of oil. If the trial results can be obtained, their Dazheng frontier army can get another sharp weapon for killing thieves.

In the past, after Ma Shangshu was convicted and left the capital, both Wang Shangshu and Governor Yang were candidates for military service. If Governor Yang hadn't asked for his side, his Shangshu would not have done so easily and smoothly.

Since Wang Shangshu accepted Yang Shilang's affection, he naturally had to do his best for the things he entrusted.Not only did he prove the benefits of refining gasoline in the Song Dynasty, but he also praised his character for Yang: "At the beginning of the year, Governor Yang went to Hanzhong to meet His Highness the King of Zhou, and discussed with His Highness the method of Anbian, and obtained the gasoline refined by the prefect of Song Dynasty. At that time, because the three-year exam for the governor of Song Dynasty was coming soon, the local people were afraid that he would leave Hanzhong after passing the exam, and they all tried their best to persuade him to stay, and even asked Governor Yang for his life, only asking him to stay for one more term..."

During the reign of the ancestor Wenzong of this dynasty, there were also such examples——

A magistrate who had served three or nine years expired could never stay in his original post, but some people chased him to Beijing and begged him to go back. Wenzong also agreed at that time because the people really loved the magistrate.In later generations, there were several officials who had served nine years and were left behind by the people. They couldn't bear to ignore the wishes of the people under their rule, so they took the initiative to ask the governor to stay in office.

Song Shi has only passed the exam for one term now, and although he got the top in the exam, but with those few precedents, Song Shi doesn't have to be promoted this time.Please read the importance of the war at the border and the sincerity that the people love him as the magistrate, and allow him to stay in his original post for another term or two.

He was also not sure how many times Yang Rong wanted to stay in the Song Dynasty, but King Zhou was still in the army in the northwest at this time, so the princess' brother would naturally stay there.Song Zhuangyuan... Although it is not sure whether he left Beijing to avoid disaster or went to Shaanxi on his own initiative, but now he must be "willing to have one heart and one heart, and never leave each other".

Wang Shangshu turned his eyes to look at Zhang Cifu next to him, then retracted his gaze, and like him, he also put on an awe-inspiring attitude of being upright and concerned about the country and the people, and stood awe-inspiring in front of the steps.

The two ministers pleaded for the people of Hanzhong at the same time, and the emperor of this dynasty is also a person who loves the people, so he has some intentions to agree.

King Qi and King Wei pleaded for Song Shi's life in vain for a long time, wanting to transfer him back to Beijing, but he didn't appreciate it at all, and he was only willing to follow his elder brother, which failed the painstaking efforts of the two highnesses.

Wei Wang had never been ruthlessly rejected by Song Shi like Qi Wang, and wanted to struggle again, and stepped forward to remonstrate: "I think that Mr. Song is diligent in government, loving the people, and doing his best for the country. If his achievements are not enough Promotion, I am afraid that foreign officials in the world will not dare to be promoted..."

What's more, it's not that the oil can't be transported to Jingli, so it's okay to ask him to go back to the Jingli oil refinery, refine the oil and send it to the border?

He could only think about these words in his heart, but he could not speak them out. He swallowed back what was in his heart, and comforted Wang Shangshu: "Just now, this king listened to Mr. Wang's words. All the students know about it? In this way, even if he is back, Lord Huan will take over this important task on his behalf. As for the administration of Hanzhong, there is no need to worry too much. There is my emperor brother sitting in Hanzhong, and Lord Huan will supervise him. The officials who are repatriated will definitely follow Xiao Guicao, and will not change his system lightly."

Zhang Gelao and Wang Shangshu were persuaded by this virtuous king, but they felt helpless—they didn't know that Song Shi didn't have to stay in Hanzhong, it was Song Shi who was reluctant to leave!

Wang Shangshu has said what he should say, and he really can't say what he should not say, so he has to return to the class.The disciple Zhang Gel chose himself couldn't escape, so he had to speak for him: "Song Shi is still young, and it's not bad to go abroad for a few years. If your majesty loves him more than him, you might as well take the steps first. In the future, I will return to Beijing when my term is over, and then I will be promoted to a real position."

Now in the Song Dynasty, it was a fifth-rank magistrate, and it was enough to be a senior doctor when he was promoted.

The Son of Heaven smiled and said: "Song Shi is your disciple. You, the head of the seat, don't try to pull him back to the court. Instead, you want to make him a foreigner, but aren't you afraid that the disciple will resent the teacher for being unreasonable?"

Don't be afraid, the disciple sent a generous gift just to stay in office.

Elder Zhang Ge remained silent, and in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he still wanted to maintain the image of righteousness of himself and his disciples.

Emperor Xintai didn't force him to ask him, but sighed: "Parents love their children, and they have far-reaching plans, and being a teacher is also a general idea. I remember that Song Qing left only two months after King Zhou left Beijing? It has been three years since he was appointed, King Zhou and Huan Qing have stayed longer than him..."

Although the king of Zhou returned to Beijing in the year when the emperor's grandson was born, and now he has a grandson staying in the capital to fulfill his filial piety, how can a father not miss his son's so many years in the bitter cold of Shaanxi?

But in the Song Dynasty, when a foreign minister expired, all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew to pay attention to it, and the two princes even scrambled to transfer him to Beijing; and their eldest brother, King Zhou, was away for three years, and his achievements in suppressing and appeasing were well known in the world. Huanling, the elder brother of the concubine and the censor of the imperial capital, also passed the exam period long ago, and passed away so silently!

He felt restless for a while, but he didn't know who to turn his anger on.

The two sons didn't understand their father's mood at all, and they didn't dare to speak when they heard the word "King of Zhou".

When Zhang Gelao handed in Huanling's performance test that day, he passed away without a sound. Unexpectedly, the Holy Majesty thought of them again today, and quickly replied: "Qiandu Censor Huanling passed the test in March, and it was reported to the imperial court at that time. However, he has a special position and cannot be inspected according to the duties of the censor of the capital, and it is not in line with the inspection regulations for the external supervision of the censor. The official department examines his achievements, because he only guides the military for His Royal Highness Zhou, and civil affairs are not part of his job. I can only remember him as a simple and competent..."

Simple and competent is the second-class achievement, not as good as the first-class, and there are so many inspections every month, I am afraid that the Holy Majesty has never paid attention to it.At that time, the officials thought that he could not leave the King of Zhou and be promoted back to Beijing, so they only added ranks to him and recorded his achievements, and let him stay in Hanzhong to serve his original post.

Emperor Xintai squinted his eyes and meditated for a while, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and sighed: "Mr. Zhang's words are reasonable. I ordered the king of Zhou to lead the imperial capital Yushi Huanling and others to appease the nine sides, and ordered the Song Dynasty to govern the civil affairs and provide Food, grass, and military equipment at the border. It is only now that we are seeing results, how can we rush to recall and ruin the current situation?"

When Emperor Xintai spoke, he raised the responsibilities and identities of the three of them.Zhang Shangshu understood, and thanked the Holy Grace for his disciples and husband, and was going to go back and ask someone to re-draft the "Regulations on Responsibilities", which will be submitted to the Holy Majesty for review in the future.

From now on, the King of Zhou will be able to manage the military in an open and aboveboard manner, and he doesn’t have to bear the false pretense of maintaining the stability of the frontier army. .

Your Majesty has given them great power, such trust is rare, Song Ziqi must give him credit!
