16. The outbreak of war
26. The way to be an official
Celebrate the seventh year, March.
There was a light rain in Beijing, and there was a faint earth fragrance floating in the air.
The ambitious Xia Zhen returned to Bianliang City and stopped in front of the Rosefinch Gate for a long time. In the afternoon of the same day, he entered the palace and met Empress Cao in the Chongzheng Hall. He cried about his nostalgia for Renzong, which made Empress Cao sad for a while. Finally, Xia Zhen was promoted to the political counsellor and Fan Zhongyan co-chair the government.
The next day, Fan Zhongyan and other ministers who advocated the new policy jointly wrote a letter in the early morning to request the reform of the official administration.
There was a disagreement with Empress Cao, who was listening to the government, and argued in the hall.
Xia Yu took the opportunity to stand on the side of Empress Cao and accused Fan Zhongyan and a group of ministers of partying in an attempt to control the government, which caused great indignation of the new minister, so that he insulted Xia Yu in court, slandered and seriously injured him, and harmed the country and the people. Among them, Ouyang Xiu's reaction was particularly strong, which almost added to each other.
Gao Ruonu, the right secretary, has a close relationship with the late prime minister, Lv Yijian. He was impeached by Ouyang Xiu three years ago, and wrote and scolded him: "I don't know that there is shame in the world anymore." Gao Ruonai still holds a grudge. He used Xia Yu to accuse Fan Zhongyan of a party and try to control the government, and let Taiwan admonish Liang Jian and others impeach Qingzhou Zhi. State Teng Zongliang misappropriated 160,000 yuan of the minister's treasury money during his tenure in Jingzhou (now Jingzhou, Gansu Province).
Subsequently, the supervision of the luggage in the imperial history also wrote a book to impeach Teng Zongliang.
Teng Zongliang, Zijing, 53 years old, from Henan Province. Dazhong Xiangfu Jinshi. At the beginning, as a military judge of Taizhou, he helped Fan Zhongyan preside over the construction of the dike. He was recommended by Zhongyan, tested the bachelor's college, and moved to the hall. He was also a teacher and friend with Fan Zhongyan.
His friend was wronged by this injustice and angered Fan Zhongyan. He immediately retorted. Subsequently, the ministers in favor of the new policy also wrote a letter expressing their dissatisfaction and asked for a thorough investigation of the matter.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yu's plan hit, which made Empress Cao more suspicious of Fan Zhongyan's party formation.
In April of the same year,
At the time of endless competition in the court, Fubi was deployed to guard the three roads of Zhenzhou, Dingzhou and Baozhou, Hebei East Road. At Zhendingfu's home, he received a Jianghu master with the disguised Xiao Feng. The Jianghu master presented a double-barrel musket picture to Fubi, which was appreciated by Fu Bi and accepted as his staff.
In the following two months, another 18 people with unique skills came to Zhendingfu to serve Fubi, expressing their willingness to join the army to fight against Liaoning. Fubi took all of them for their own use and were installed in the army.
At the beginning of May, Yin Zhu of Weizhou Zhizhou died in office due to overwork. The deputy capital of Jingyuan Road deployed Di Qing to temporarily take his place. When Fan Zhongyan received the bad news in Beijing, he was heartbroken and wrote an epitaph for his friends overnight.
At the beginning of June, Fan Zhongyan received a handwritten letter from Zhao Ze. Ning Lingge, the prince of Xixia, killed Yuan Hao and had fled to Huanzhou to ask the court to send troops to attack Xixia. If he could help him restore the throne, Ning Ling was willing to agree to all the requirements of the Song Dynasty.
This incident caused a sensation in the DPRK that day.
The generals wrote a letter one after another and asked the court to send troops to attack Xixia. Although the civil servants did not agree or disagree too much.
Even Xia Yan was a little eager to try. He planned to make Empress Cao order the order to mobilize the Shaanxi roadside army to pass across Hengshan to attack Xixia. When the dragons of Xixia had no leader, he broke it at one stroke, avoided worries, and fulfilled His Majesty Renzong's wish to regain the Hetao area.
However, Fan Zhongyan's words knocked down the ambition of the Manchu Dynasty.
Empress Cao could not reconsider the importance of Fan Zhongyan in the court, and did not dare to easily demote him and let Xia Yan worship the prime minister.
At the same time,
The future star of the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi, a young and promising county magistrate of Yin County, Hangzhou, is 26 years old. He is walking in the fields with a straw hat to learn about the grain cultivation and water conservancy and irrigation of the local people. After a month of field investigation, Wang Anshi found that there are many rivers in Yin County, and it is close to the big In the sea, there will be no flood disasters under normal circumstances.
This is all due to the fact that Wu Yue, a fifth generation, specially sent soldiers to build water conservancy projects and organize camp fields.
However, during the reign of Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, the Yingtian system was abolished. For many years, the county magistrates of Yin County have not sent people to repair or dredge through some waterways such as ditches and ponds in the boundary, so that the original water conservancy channels were blocked quite serious. Every year, a large amount of rainwater flows into the sea and almost lost the benefits of irrigation. Therefore, Yin County is most afraid of drought. In the event of a drought, there will be almost no grain harvest in Yin County
In view of this dangerous situation that will break out at any time, Wang Anshi intends to organize the people after the autumn harvest, dredge irrigation channels, and increase the places where water is stored, so that Yin County can become the capital of Zhongshang County for drought and flood protection.
However, the world is unpredictable, and the chaos of soldiers and horses came. The flames of war burned all the way through the border and went straight to Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. Where did Wang Anshi go? Maybe the people of Hangzhou will tell us.

Celebrate the seventh year of the calendar, June 12.
There are no clouds.
Emperor Yeluzong Zhenxing, the emperor of Liao, went south to attack the Song Dynasty with 300,000 troops. The main direction of attack was Gaoyang Pass in the middle of Nanjing Road. The two wings were the soldiers and horses of the 47th Department of the Fifth Courtyard, which were responsible for containment of the Song army and protecting the safety of the flanks of the middle army.

Under his command, 30,000 troops were surrendered to the Southern Army, 20,000 cavalry, 30,000 troops, and 100 soldiers. After crossing the Juma River, they attacked Xiongzhou.

Force the defenders of Xiongzhou to retreat across the whole line.
The left-wing soldiers and horses of the second army, led by Xiao Xiao Xian, the king of Jin, left-behind by Nanjing Road, and Xiao Huifu, the secret envoy of the Southern Court and the envoy of the Nanjing unified army, had 50,000 soldiers in Jingzhou, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 marching troops, and 100 generals.

They went out of Yizhou, Liaoguo and attacked the Song Dynasty. In only half a day, they seized the entrance of the Great Wall, swept the two armies of Guangxin and Ansu, pulled out Suicheng, and killed Zheng Pan Wang, the commander of Ansu, who led troops to break the embankment on the Heilu embankment to prepare to flood the mouth of the Great Wall.
The remaining 100,000 soldiers and horses were personally led by Yelu Zhenzong, the emperor of Liao. Half of them were imperial tents, all of whom were cavalry, equipped with iron armor, long and short muskets, bows and arrows, axes, fire knives and stones, horse ropes, etc. The combat effectiveness was very strong. No one in the Song Dynasty knew this. Even even Zhao Ze only knew that the Liao State had light and heavy firearms, and I didn't see it with my own eyes.
June of the same year, 15th.
Wang Ze, a primary school of the Xuanyi Army in Beizhou, suddenly revolted and led his brother Wang Bao, Pan Fangjing, Mo Kuan, Yuan Heng and more than 600 people to seize the Beizhou arsenal, entered the city and went straight to the official office. He launched a life-death street battle with the garrison of Tian Bin, the soldiers and horses. The two sides fought for half an hour, and Wang took advantage of the chaos to board the nearby restaurant to be condescending. Tian Bin was shot and killed, and then his brother Wang Bao led troops into the government office to catch Zhang Deyi from Zhizhou and killed more than 30 officials, including Judge Li Hao, who refused to surrender stubbornly.
Half a day later, Beizhou City was occupied by the insurgents. Wang changed his body as the leader of Maitreya. He called up all the Maitreya believers lurking in Beizhou and joined the insurgent army. The next day, the country was founded as Anyang, and the year was changed to holy virtue. December was the first month. The rebels stabbed in the face from the age of 12 to 70. There is the words "The Rebels Break Zhao Desheng".
On the 16th, a soldier rebellion broke out in Qizhou across the river from Beizhou.
More than 20 people, including the forbidden leader Ma Da, Zhang Qing and the local gambling boss Zhang Ju, rose up and occupied Yucheng, Qizhou with the secret help of the local Maitreya. Later, Zhang Ji sent his son-in-law Yang Jun to meet Wang Ze in Beizhou day and night, telling him that the Qizhou rebels were willing to join Beizhou to protect Yangguo.
