Chapter 90 I am Zhang Xiao, the general of the Jinwu Army!
…
After receiving a letter from Cai Tao that Cai Jing had retired, Cai remained silent for a long time.
After a long time, Cai Shen said silently: At the end of Tianbao, what is Yao Song’s crime?
This is not what Cai Jing said, but what Cai Jing's disciple Lu Chuan Bian said - after Cai Jing's death, Lu Chuan Bian came forward to raise money to bury Cai Jing and wrote an epitaph for Cai Jing. The article contains a question about "What is Yao Song's crime at the end of Tianbao?"
Tianbao was the prosperous era name of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, and Yao Chong and Song Jing were the virtuous ministers of the Tianbao period.
The meaning of this sentence is, how can the An Lushan rebellion be blamed on Yao and Song in the late Tianbao period?
The implication is that when Cai Jing was prime minister, the world was also prosperous. At that time, Cai Jing was called the "Prince of Taiping". Later, the Jin army invaded and caused the shame of Jingkang. How could Cai Jing be held responsible?
However--
There must be two aspects to say.
During Cai Jing's reign, he made great achievements in politics, economy, military, education, and people's livelihood, which pushed the Northern Song Dynasty to its peak.
However, Zhao Ji spent money like earth, and his extravagance and desire were indeed indulging and even encouraging by Cai Jing, which became one of the reasons for the final shame of Qing Kang.
The reason why Cai Jing was so indulging and encouraging Zhao Ji to spend money was just to make Zhao Ji unable to live without him. In the final analysis, Cai Jing was just to gain supreme power from Zhao Ji.
In order to gain power and to show his own political ambitions, Cai Jing can be said to have no lower limit.
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to cast Cai Jing into the ranks of treacherous officials, because Cai Jing is not a person who is not nostalgic for power, has principles, and dares to go to the end with Zhao Ji, the emperor.
But I have to say it again. Whether to spend money or not does not depend on Cai Jing, but ultimately it depends on Zhao Ji.
From Zhao Ji's perspective, can you, Cai Jing, have made money and the country has money, and you encourage me to spend money, but I just don't spend it. I just want to develop the Song Dynasty and buy money to enrich the people and strengthen the army. Can Cai Jing still dare to say "no"?
Let's take a step back, even if Cai Jing encouraged Zhao Ji to spend money, Zhao Ji was squandering money and was extremely extravagant. If Zhao Ji did not hand over the country to the idiot Zhao Huan in the end, the Jingkang shame would have happened. With Cai Jingjing's actions in this life, he would never end up with the head of the six thieves. Even if he gave the name of the "head of the six thieves", he deserved it even if he gave it to his son Cai You.
This is also the reason why Cai Jian, who is familiar with history, unconsciously said, "Why is Yao Song guilty at the end of Tianbao?"
Cai Shen silently put away the letter Cai Tao wrote to him, and while collecting it, he said, "Cai Jing is considered to have received the lunch box."
Although four years later in history, Zhao Ji felt that he was too busy to leave Cai Jing and invited Cai Jing out to let Cai Jing resume his prime minister for the fourth time, Cai Jing was already eighty years old at that time, and was "blind to write, and could not bow down to his knees." In the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, the Jin people from abroad were eyeing him, and domestic thieves flocked to him, asking for money but not money, and having no food. How could you let an old man who was about to die to save such a country?
After putting the letter in hand, Cai still picked up the pen and wrote a reply letter to Cai Tao, and then asked Cai Tao to send the servant who came to deliver the letter to take it back.
After doing this, Cai still came to the medical camp.
After Wang Jixian was captured by Zhang Xian to treat the soldiers of the Jinwu Army, Cai Shen promised to find a job for Wang Jixian in the future. In addition, Cai Shen occasionally revealed some medical ideas from later generations to Wang Jixian and seduced Wang Jixian. Wang Jixian finally chose to stay by Cai Shen's side to form a medical camp for Cai Shen.
Cai still has money and has insights far beyond this era. Wang Jixian has the ability, has super learning ability, and has good connections.
Cai Yan and Wang Jixian can be said to be a match made by nature. With the joint efforts of the two of them, the medical camp and the earliest hospital were born in the Jinwu Army.
With the blessing of the medical camp, the wounded soldiers of the Jinwu Army have a high probability of surviving, which is so high that no one in other armies dares to imagine.
And Cai will still take charge of the injured soldiers who survived.
First of all, as long as they are injured, Cai will still do his best to save their lives at any cost.
Those who have healed and have not become disabled will usually receive a higher level of reward. In the Jinwu Army, when they are injured due to merit, they will mention it according to the specific circumstances.
and disability.
If you are willing to restore it, Cai will still strive for the greatest benefit for him under the policies of the Northern Song Dynasty court and will also subsidize part of it privately.
If you are unwilling to restore, Cai will still arrange things for him, such as entering the teaching office of the Jinwu Army, like entering the political office of the Jinwu Army, like entering the logistics office of the Jinwu Army. Whenever the Jinwu Army has any benefits and benefits, just like when it was assigned to women not long ago, these disabled soldiers were given priority.
The reason why Cai Shen's prestige in the Jinwu Army is largely because Cai Shen treats these disabled soldiers well. After all, in this period of cold weapons, no one can guarantee whether he will eventually become one of the disabled soldiers.
As for those disabled soldiers, they are the personal beneficiaries, so they are more loyal to Cai Shan and support Cai Shan more.
When he was still some distance away from the medical camp, Cai still heard waves of moans.
Cai Jian's face also became less beautiful because of these moans, and even felt a little angry.
Don't get me wrong. Of course, Cai Shen can't get angry at these disabled soldiers. They are all heroes - all heroes who are injured for themselves. How could Cai Shen get angry at them?
Cai’s fire was triggered by Huang Qianshan’s group of people.
Two months ago, after Cai Jian led the Jinwu army to resolve the rebels on Zhangliang Mountain, he led the Jinwu army to station on Zhangliang Mountain. Then he watched the official army fight with Song Jiang's rebel army while eating melons.
At that time, among the official army, whether it was the Hebei Imperial Army or the Central Imperial Army, they did not want the Jinwu Army, which had already made great contributions, to take action again, because they were afraid that the Jinwu Army would also take away the remaining military achievements (which they thought were already the ones they said at that time).
Cai was still happy to fight the tough battle that had to be put on his life. He was a melon-eating crowd and poaching everywhere while continuing to run the Jinwu army. When he was fine, he played with Hua Baoyan and Cheng Wan'er. He lived a very comfortable life.
Unexpectedly, Huang Qianshan and Liang Fangping led an army of 50,000 and 100,000 civilians to attack Dusushanzhai. They attacked for a month, but they did not attack him. Instead, they suffered losses of nearly 20,000 casualties.
Such a result made Cai Jian, the melon-eating crowd, almost shocked the chin.
Cai Shen not only secretly got lucky: "Fortunately, I directly brought Song Jiang's army on Zhang Liangshan to the gang. If I had only the idea of restraining, where would I give them more than a month to restrain them?"
Huang Qianshan and Liang Fangping led a 50,000 army, but 100,000 people were unable to capture the Dusu Mountain Village. Although they were waste, more people should be the guardians. Otherwise, such a result would never be possible. You must know that among the 50,000 army and 100,000 people, there are also brave people who fight bravely, such as Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong.
Some people may say that Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong can fight, but they were poached by you, Cai Shen.
Yes, this is indeed the case.
But even so, there are still many brave people among the 50,000 troops and 100,000 people. For example, Wang Zongyi, the general under Liang Fangping, and Yang Weizhong, the general under Tian Shizhong, are very capable. With Cai Shen's current level, they can only dig up some low-level generals. Wang Zongyi and Yang Weizhong are both similar to Cai Shen. Tian Shizhong is Liang Fangping's beloved generals. Cai Shen can't dig up any of them.
But even with Wang Zongyi, Tian Shizhong, and Yang Weizhong, who were still able to defeat him, the official army still failed to capture Dusu Mountain Village.
This shows that the Song Jiang Yijun guarding Duisu Mountain Village is very unusual.
Later, Cai still called Mu Heng and Yan Qing to ask, and found out that the leader of the Song Jiang Yijun guarding Duisu Mountain Village was: Zhang Qing had no feather arrows, Yuchi Sunli was sick, and Sanlang Shi Xiu and Iron Heavenly King Chao Gai.
Since then, Cai has still recorded the names of these four people.
Later, when Huang Qianshan, Liang Fangping and others saw that the Duo Su Mountain Village could not be captured, they discussed with Zeng Xiaoyun and others who were stationed in the Baigugou-Zhulinzhai area and decided to send 10,000 troops and 20,000 civilians to lock Duo Su Mountain and proceed directly to the next step, that is, to attack Wuma Mountain, Walong Mountain and Wanhua Mountain, and attempt to wipe out the Song Jiang army on these three mountains first, and then turn back to deal with the Song Jiang army on Duo Su Mountain.
Huang Qianshan, Liang Fangping, Zeng Xiaoyun and their plans were very simple, and they had not even changed. They first separated Wuma Mountain, Walong Mountain and Wanhua Mountain with 40,000 troops and 80,000 civilians, and then attacked Wanhua Mountain with 40,000 troops and 80,000 civilians.
This time, the two sides exchanged tasks. The Qianning Army, Yongjing Army, Baoding Army, Xin'an Army, Ansu Army, Yongning Army, and Yongning Army were responsible for attacking Wanhua Mountain Village, Guangxin Army, Shun'an Army and the Central Imperial Army were responsible for cutting off the ties between the two sides.
As a result, the performance of the Qianning Army, Yongjing Army, Baoding Army, Xin'an Army, Ansu Army, and Yongning Army were not as good as the Guangxin Army, Shun'an Army and the Central Imperial Army. They fought for more than 20 days, but not only did not capture Wanhua Mountain, but they also suffered more than 30,000 casualties.
This made Cai Jian, who was watching the show on the side, shook his head and said to himself: "The Northern Song Dynasty is really beyond salvation."
I don’t know who noticed it, but they were bleeding and crying on the front line. Cai and the Jinwu army were eating melons and watching the show behind, and actually suggested that the Jinwu army attack Wanhua Mountain.
This proposal quickly received support from many people.
Moreover, some people say: The Jinwu Army can only fight an ambush, but it cannot fight a cruel battle at all.
Cai Jian didn't want to pay attention to such a voice, but the soldiers of the Jinwu Army stopped doing it and asked Cai Jian to attack Wanhua Mountain Village and let others see if the Jinwu Army could fight the tough battle.
On the other hand, Huang Qianshan and Liang Fangping also ordered Cai Jian to lead the Jinwu army to attack and try it.
As a last resort, Cai still had to take the troops of the fifth battalions in front, back, left, right, and middle to fight a tough battle that he was most reluctant to fight.
This battle is so tragic that it can be said to be second only to the battle in Qishanzhai.
At that time, Cai still came to the front line and sent Zhang Xian, Zhang Xiao and Gao Shidan to lead the front, left and right camps to attack the front, left and right walls of Wanhua Mountain Village at the same time from three directions, and ordered Niu Gao and Wang Sheng to lead the middle camp and the back camp to support him.
As soon as the battle started, the soldiers of the Jinwu Army rushed up in an orderly manner under Cai Jian's command.
As soon as the two sides fought, Yang Weizhong and others who were watching the battle could see the difference between the Jinwu Army.
The soldiers of the Jinwu Army were completely different from those of other imperial guards. One of the soldiers of the Jinwu Army was considered the other. They were both well-trained and fearless.
This made Yang Weizhong, who was watching the battle, moved everyone, and didn't understand how Cai Shen's soldiers were trained!
But even though the soldiers of the Jinwu Army were so brave, they could not give in to the Song Jiang Yi army, who was still fighting a trapped beast but did not dare to give in, the soldiers of the Jinwu Army attacked for half a night but failed to achieve success.
Sudden!
Wu Di, the deputy commander of Zuoying, who was commanding the Zuoying troops to rush towards the village wall at the front, was hit in the head by a huge rock fired by Song Jiang's rebel army and died on the spot.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiao suddenly took off his armor, held two axes in his hand, and rushed up with his fifty personal soldiers.
Zhai Xing, the Yidu Head, who had just taken over the command of Wu's enemy, saw this and hurried to stop Zhang Xiao from doing anything.
But Zhang Xiao refused to listen, threw Zhai Xing away and continued to lead his guards to rush to the wall of the village.
Zhai Xing had no choice but to follow him and rush towards the village wall.
Zhang Xiaotian is born with divine power and is brave and fearless. Who can resist it?
Under Zhang Xiao ascended the lead, the soldiers of the Zuoying rushed to the wall of the village.
Zhang Xiao led the soldiers of the Zuoying camp to fight on the wall for a while. Seeing that the Song Jiang's rebel army was killing more and more, the space of the Jinwu army rushing up was getting smaller and smaller, and shouted: "I am Zhang Xiao, the general of the Jinwu army!", and then jumped into the Wanhua Mountain Village!
Seeing this, Zhai Xing quickly jumped down, and then fought back to back with Zhang Xiao and the surrounding Song Jiang Yijun.
As Zhang Xiao and Zhai Xing jumped in, the people from Zuoying jumped into Wanhua Mountain Village one after another.
Some of them fell to death directly, and some were shot to death by the Song Jiang Yijun who was waiting below as soon as they landed.
But none of these can stop the people in the Zuoying from continuing.
The survivors, led by Zhang Xiao and Zhai Xing, fought to the gate of the village with sacrificial lives. Song Jiang's army was in chaos and did not care about guarding the wall of the village!
Seeing this, Cai hurriedly ordered Niu Gao to take the Zhongying to pick up the Zuoying!
When Niu Gao led his men to the wall of the village, Zhang Xiao had already suffered more than a dozen severe injuries, and the people from Zuoying had already died or injured. However, with Zhai Xing's reminder, Zhang Xiao and others from Zuoying still rushed to the gate of the village!
In the end, Zhang Xiao died in a battle less than fifty away from the village gate.
After Zhang Xiao died, Zhai Xing shouted, "I am the general of Jinwu Army Zhai Xing!" He took Zhang Xiao's position and led the soldiers of the central camp who jumped down from the left camp and the back to continue to kill the village gate. Finally, they opened the village gate and the front camp that had been attacking the village front and back were sent by Cai Jian to come in.
The Wanhua Mountain Village was broken, and the guard general Jiuwen Long Shi Jin was killed by Zhang Xiao and Zhai Xing respectively. The green-faced beast Yang Zhi and Iron Whip Hu Yanchuo saw that the situation was hopeless, and led more than 2,000 Song Jiang's rebel army to surrender.
The Qianning Army, Yongjing Army, Baoding Army, Xin'an Army, Ansu Army, Yongning Army, 40,000 troops, and 80,000 civilians attacked the Wanhua Mountain Village, which had not been captured for more than 20 days. The Jinwu Army had only more than 2,000 troops and captured it in just one night.
This battle made everyone convinced Cai and Jinwu Army. They admitted that General Cai was a general who knew military and was good at fighting, and the Jinwu Army was a first-class strong army. Cai and Jinwu Army were not just lucky, but Cai and Jinwu Army became famous for this and became a well-known golden sign in the army!
After the war, Cai was promoted to the Wujing Doctor (the 20th level of military officer) for his merits, and entered the ranks of the seventh-rank military officer, and truly became one of the intermediate military officers.
"The Emperor of Song was not virtuous and dominated the Daze, and the people were unemployed. The people of Song Jingdong Road were in trouble. The emperor led his army to suppress the enemy and fought in Wanhua. The emperor was fierce and fearless. The generals of Song were all shocked and said, "A famous general!" and then surrendered." - "The Middle Ages" · Volume 1 · The Great Emperor Taizu Donghuang.
