Chapter 221 Military Book of the Song Dynasty
Zeng Gongliang did not answer directly. He looked at the books and said, "Wang Shilang is not what he used to be. Just now, I also listened to what Wang Shilang said. I saw that Wang Shilang's military achievements were rich, and Wang Shilang knew a lot about the art of strategy. These books were what I just said, and they were compiled by Emperor Renzong himself. In order to prevent Renzong from loosening off his armed equipment, The general's "fresh ancient and modern learning" did not know the history of ancient and modern warfare and the art of war, so he ordered me and the servant of the Ministry of Industry to participate in political affairs, etc. It took me five years to compile this set of "General Affairs of the Martial Arts Classics". After the Emperor Renzong personally approved it, he wrote a preface for this.
Wang knew that since the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to prevent local secession, the general's exclusive power and the general's power to formulate the battle plan were directly under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, but it was overcorrected. As a result, the generals did not know the soldiers and did not know the generals, which led to the failure of the battle and the retreat. However, he did not expect that the emperor of Renzong had seen the paralysis. Zhong has more admiration for Renzong,
Zeng Gongliang continued: "This book details the military theories and rules such as military system, military organization, selection of generals and use, arrays, mountain geography, etc. In addition, it describes in detail the selection of generals, education and training, troop formation, marching camps, ancient and modern formations, communication reconnaissance, city attack and defense, fire and water warfare, weapons and equipment. Wait, the former emperor intends to reorganize the military and be able to strengthen the country by force one day. How can the former emperor go too early... Alas."
Wang looked at Zeng Gongliang. Zeng Xiang's personal compilation was inevitably suspected of boasting. Is it so powerful? He was a little curious. What does this have to do with what Zeng Gongliang wants to entrust himself? "Zeng Xiang, now that the book has been compiled and integrated, you have also made a wish. If Zeng Xiang wants to entrust me to read this book, I will read this book slowly. It's done."
Zeng Gong nodded brightly: "Wang Shilang, you are still young and you will be able to achieve a great career with your qualifications, but that's not the only thing I'm talking about. This book is divided into the first two episodes and the last two episodes, each with 20 volumes, but we compiled the first episode of 22 volumes, and the second episode is 21 volumes. Now there are three volumes missing, and it is the key. Importantly, Wang Shilang once broke the Kowloon Cup. Now if the three volumes can be recovered, it can be regarded as a comfort to the spirit of the former emperor in heaven.
"I lost three volumes. How did I lose them? What is so important in those three volumes?" The king was full of confusion,
"The three volumes are about the plan to attack the city and defend the city, including water attack and fire attack, which are what I can't do in other countries in the Song Dynasty. There is also one volume that is very important. The first volume 16 to 22 records the setting of our Song Dynasty military road and the barracks. Among them, one volume of Guangnan West Road is lost. This matter is very important. Guangnan West Road is Jiaozhi. Intersection with our Song Dynasty, if this volume is crossed, it will be dangerous to invade the border.
The king dragged his chin with his hand and meditated. This matter is indeed very serious. Anyway, Yingzong Zhao Shu's harshness to himself is also a contradiction among the people. If Jiaozhi invades, it will be a contradiction between the enemy and ourselves. What's more, the Jiaozhi of the Song Dynasty said that it was Vietnam thousands of years later. Not only does there still be a territorial dispute, but Vietnam also plunders wantonly. Take our oil resources in the South China Sea,
"I promised to investigate this matter, but how can I investigate it?" The king said,
Zeng Gongliang listened to Wang's consent and said happily, "I said that the former emperor and Prime Minister Bao will never look at the wrong person. If Wang Shilang finds out this matter, it will not be in vain for me for many years of hard work."
"No." The king shook his head,
"How can I not?" Zeng Gongliang just saw a little hope. He heard Wang say no and hurriedly asked,
"There are priorities, and this matter can't be done in a day. I haven't dealt with my own business well, and there is still an urgent need to burn coal. Besides, I can't investigate this matter clearly. I'm not allowed to resign now, and there are many inconveniences." Wang's side thinks that he has to push it,
"Yes, this matter is not a day. Moreover, if you want to do it, you have already taken action. I have an idea. I will ask the emperor to allow you to resign in your private situation, so that you can secretly visit this matter in the name of business. As for your godfather and teacher's tomb, I ask the emperor to send someone to bury you to allow you to the imperial mausoleum for sacrifice. What do you think? "." Zeng Gongliang said to Wang in a negotiated tone,
The king saw that he had promised the prime minister. Moreover, at such an old age, he was entrusted by the previous emperor to find his own business. It was not interesting for him to refuse. "Well, then please also ask the prime minister to allow me to bury my dead wife first. There is another thing to discuss with Zeng. For example, it is cold today, but the people in the capital do not burn coal. Since I started from my Jinxiang Mansion earlier, I want to ask the prime minister to report the suffering of the people of the imperial court to solve the urgent need to burn coal.
Zeng Gongliang said, "I have also heard about this matter. Officials have said that there is no coal to come out near Jinxiang Mansion, resulting in a shortage of coal. I don't know if there is a solution to the matter that Wang Shilang has been operating for many years."
Wang was angry when he remembered this, but he said angrily, "If there is no coal in Jinxiang Mansion, how can I buy the wasteland at a low price? Isn't it unfair to wrong me and the implicated officials? Let's not mention this for the time being. As far as I know, there is a shortage of coal in the capital this year, and there are people who hoard goods. Private coal farms are ready to pay a high price. For sale."
Zeng Gongliang frowned when he heard this: "It turned out to be like this."
Wang said, "This person is Qin Minzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Household. He took advantage of the matter of Cha Jinxiang Mansion to build a large amount of coal in a private coal farm and wanted to sell it at a high price. You used to be in a high position. I don't know the suffering of the people. I know that there is solid evidence. I hope that I have reported it to the emperor according to the truth and don't let the traitors benefit the people."
Zeng Gongliang lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "I have a way to do this matter. You can go to the magistrate of Kaifeng Mansion. Let him start the people's livelihood of Kaifeng Mansion. In addition, there is another person you go to find him and advice to Ouyang Xiu. If he finds out the impeachment, he thinks that the corrupt official will be punished. I will help from the court, and I can solve this urgent problem in three ways. "."
Wang Zanxin said: Zeng Xiang, an old slippery man, must be the emperor's favorite minister surnamed Qin, and the prime minister can't overstep power. It is customary for the people not to raise officials. If you want to participate in someone, you still have to do it step by step. However, Wang Bian made up his mind that only by making a big deal with this matter in Kaifeng Mansion first, he is not afraid that no people will not raise it.
"Well, please ask Zeng Xiang for this matter. In addition, please ask Zeng Xiangduo to speak for the students in front of the emperor."
The prime minister nodded: "Wang Shilang will deal with the matter outside as soon as possible. It is a big deal to deal with the loss of books, which is related to the safety of the southern part of the Song Dynasty. If Wang Shilang accepts this matter, it is easy for the old ministers on the emperor to say."
Seeing that the matter has happened, Wang Ben got up and was ready to leave. The prime minister said, "Wang Shilang, you have to do what you promised me to do. Tomorrow I will order someone to send these books to Wang Shilang's house. You can study them carefully, and it is not in vain for Bao Cheng's trust from me."
Alas, the king clenched his teeth. In the end, he had to work hard on what his adoptive father entrusted to the prime minister, but he didn't have time to read so many books.
Wang thanked Zeng Gongliang and came out of the prime minister's mansion. How could he think that the Song Dynasty was troublesome enough? Seeing the sky, he either lost this or that. He had just returned from the north, and now he wants to go south. The prime minister said that it was not private and unfair. How could he know that the prime minister Zeng Gongliang was really optimistic about the king. Being able to do this is even more entrusted by Prime Minister Bao. He is worried that Wang will have more grievances because of the confinement of Emperor Yingzong, and he will support the king from afar.
There is no need to say that the prime minister is in love. The king is worried. When Wa Zhuang saw that the king left the prime minister's mansion, he didn't say anything. He almost went to Meyer's mansion and asked, "Wang Shilang, is it possible that things are not going well?"
Wang looked at Wa Zhuang, so that he should have promised you to go to Guangnan to see him. It seems that the capital is really not the place where he has lived for a long time: "Smooth, you will be the guide of my southern tour after a while."
"Great, are you going to Guangnan? Don't worry, I'm absolutely good as a bodyguard and guide." Wa Zhuang patted his chest and said happily,
"Go and open the door, speak softly." The king went to the door of the house and told him that it was very late now. It was estimated that everyone in the house had fallen asleep. Wa Zhuang patted the door gently. The family opened the door and took their horses over. Someone lit a lantern to the road to the king. There was silence in the courtyard, and the moonlight hung coldly in the air.
The king bypassed the front yard and came to the inner house through the garden. He opened the courtyard door and saw that the light in his room was on. His heart was slightly warm, but in an instant, he thought that the person who kept the lamp for himself was no longer under the moon. He was a little sad. The people in the room seemed to hear the sound of the courtyard door. As soon as the door of the room opened, Rou'er came out with a lantern. Come and greet,
The family closed the door of the courtyard and turned away. Wang Bian walked into the room. Just as he was about to send Rouer back to the room, he saw Tong Xiao rubbing her sleepy eyes: "Dad, you're back."
The king walked up to him and patted him on the head: "Why don't you sleep yet?"
Tong Xiao closed the book on the table: "I'm waiting for my father to talk. If I go to bed, I don't know what my father is going to do tomorrow."
Wang is really angry and funny when he sees Tong Xiao. Why is his name known as Tong Guan? The unlucky child is really not at worry, but after all, he is still a child. Guide him slowly,
"Dad, I want to hear your story about the war." Tong Xiao said
Rouer patted him: "Good boy, your father is very tired. Can you go back to my room and sleep with me?"
Tong Xiao pouted, and Wang said to Tong Xiao and Yuexia. He was also curious about how they had been doing during this period, so he stopped and said, "Tong Xiao, sleep with her father today."
As soon as Tong Xiao heard the coke, she made a grimace at Rou'er, then ran to the bedside, kicked down the shoes on her feet, got into the quilt and said, "Er Niang, go quickly. I'm going to listen to my father's story."
Hearing Tong Xiao call her second mother, Rou'er blushed. Wang saw Rou'er shyly and said, "Take a rest." She sent Rou'er away. Wang took off her coat, put on her casual clothes and sat in ** ready to ask Tong Xiao about the palace.
Without saying a few words, Tong Xiao fell asleep. She was really a child. Wang had no choice but to smile,
The next morning, the king opened his eyes, and there was a man in front of him. Looking carefully, it turned out to be Tong Xiao. Tong Xiao was staring at his neck: "What are you looking at?" The king asked strangely,
Tong Xiao turned her head and thought for a moment and said, "Dad, I've seen this stone on your neck."
