Chapter 197 East and West
() The flaw in Song Qing's mind was that he now controls nearly half of the territory of Song Dynasty as King Liang, but the division of labor among these officials under him is still not clear enough. Strictly speaking, the system is not perfect enough.
Even saying that many trivial matters need to be decided by yourself, which is obviously not the case.
In addition, starting from the old camp of Liangshan, to the prefecture city of Jinan, to Tokyo Bianliang, and to Luoyang, today, the central government has changed too frequently, and many officials have not adapted to a place, but have changed places again. This is not a good thing.
Therefore, after studying with everyone, Song Qing issued an edict to the prefectures under Liangshan rule that Luoyang would be the royal city in the future and no other places would be replaced. The exchanges of documents and orders would be centered on this place.
At the same time, the Liang Palace was reorganized again, with the Military Affairs Office under it. Wu Yong, Zhu Wu and Lin Chong were appointed as the Military Affairs Ministers, and the Prime Minister was responsible for military affairs under the rule of King Liang.
This Military Affairs Office has a bit of the meaning of the Privy Council of the imperial court, but there is no distinction between the chief and deputy in the Military Affairs Office, and the personnel are not sure, so it can be increased or decreased at any time.
There were six ministries under the Military Affairs Department. Although the Song Dynasty was a ministerial-level unit, in order to better play the role of all the functions of officials under their rule, they could only be appointed in this way. However, the supervisors of each ministries were not called the Minister of the Secretariat for the time being, but were replaced by the Minister of the Secretariat.
The Minister of War, the veteran general Hu Yanzhuo.
The Minister of Justice, Le He.
Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Chai Jin.
Zhu Wu also served as the Minister of Personnel. Song Qing originally wanted to appoint Chen Dong in this position, but considering that Chen Dong was too young and was in charge of the appointment and removal of all officials in this position, Song Qing finally decided to be led by Zhu Wuyi.
Li Yun, Minister of Works, was criticized by Song Qing a lot, but this appointment was enough to prove Song Qing's affirmation of his work.
Xiao Rang, Minister of Rites.
The heads of these six tribes are all the Liangshan direct descendants. Although this move is suspected of being nepotist, they are indeed capable of taking on their current official positions through the past two years of training.
The inspector is set up outside the six ministries, with Pei Xuan as the inspector, responsible for supervising the six ministries and officials at all levels, with a level equivalent to the six ministries’ assistant ministers.
As the most respected civil servant outside the Liangshan direct line, Chen Dong was appointed as the third-rank literary official of Jinzi Guanglu Dafu, and actually served as the prefect of Luoyang. His official position was second only to the six ministers. In terms of his age, he had a bright future.
Although Gongsun Laodao did not come back, how could Song Qing forget him? He just waited for him to come back and let him enter the Military Affairs Office, so he could no longer be so leisurely.
The six ministries and the Inspectorate are all prefectures at all levels. However, there has been no change in the military.
Only after the appointment is completed will the small court under the rule of King Liang be considered sound. In the future, each department will perform its duties, and Song Qing will be much more leisurely.
But Song Qing was a person who could live in his spare time? He had just begun to recover all the construction projects in Hebei, so he didn't see how to rest assured. So after living in Luoyang for a while, he set out to inspect Hebei again.
While Song Qing and the heroes of Liangshan led the people of Hebei to work hard, the Lin'an court in Jiangnan was a different scene.
Zhao Huan has been having a good life recently, especially after tasting the four Western beauties that Song Qing gave him, he was even more happy. What kind of encouragement is to restore the foundation of his ancestors? Whoever loves to do it will do it! The Jiangnan land is prosperous and has food and drink, and there is no need to worry about the Jin people coming to attack. How great is it?
Song Qing is a good boy. He has no idea what he has to forget about himself. Besides, with him blocking him in front, Jin Ren can't get through.
As for some people saying that Song Qing was too ambitious, Zhao Huan didn't understand, but what could he do? He could not beat him. Besides, under his jurisdiction, Hebei is better than being in the hands of the Jin people?
This alone shows that Zhao Huan is timid and cowardly and content with the status quo.
Qin Hui is now completely standing aside. For nothing else, Liang Shicheng followed Song Qing's will and entrusted Qin Hui with a detailed charge of the Jin man. If it weren't for the lack of evidence, he would probably have to move his head now, but this evidence would have been prepared soon.
Huang Qianshan regained Zhao Huan's trust by building the Tongtian Tower. This guy is a typical prodigal son. As long as he can win the emperor's favor, he will care whether you are spending national strength? As for the life and death of the people, it has nothing to do with him. Now, under his supervision, the Tongtian Tower has begun to take shape.
However, just as the court was in harmony and was corrupt and decayed together, the war at the border was ignited again. This time the war did not come from the north, but from Sichuan and Shu controlled by Fang La.
Fang La is really amazing today! According to the country of Tianfu, he has cultivated his strength and has spread throughout the Sichuan Province, with more than 200,000 armors under his command.
When Fang La developed in Sichuan, she never gave up on her attention to Song Qing.
When Fang La learned that Song Qing had defeated the Jin soldiers, controlled the entire Hebei in the name of the court, and then entered Henan, he could no longer sit still.
When Song Qing was in Shandong, the two were thousands of miles apart and they were still peaceful, but Song Qing had already entered Henan, so what was his next goal?
This is one of them. Secondly, as Song Qing's territory becomes larger and larger, his strength will surely become stronger and stronger. If Song Qing is allowed to develop like this and he still lives in a small place in the middle of Sichuan, how can he compete with Song Qing for power in the future?
After summoning civil and military officials to discuss it, everyone felt that this was not the time when Song Qing started a war. They should first deal with the surviving Song court, expand their territory and accumulate strength. They will fight with Liangshan after overthrowing the court.
Fang La also agreed with everyone's opinions. After all, it was much easier to attack Da Song than to deal with Liangshan.
After the plan was settled, Fang La gathered a large army of 150,000 and divided into three groups to attack the Song Dynasty.
The reason why Fang La was able to develop safely in Sichuan was because of the natural dangers under his feet. In addition, the court was weak and could not destroy him at all.
But it was much easier for Fang La to go out of Sichuan to attack the Song Dynasty. Fang La personally led 80,000 central troops, and rushed straight to Lin'an.
The other two routes were led by Deng Yuanjue and Shi Bao, and they left Bazhou and rushed to Jingzhao Prefecture, and the Luzhou and Guangnan West Road.
Deng Yuanjue led 50,000 troops to Jingzhao Prefecture. His strategic purpose was very clear, which was to suppress Henan Prefecture and sued Song Qing not to go south to rescue Zhao Huan.
For a time, the Jiangnan region was in trouble again, and reports from all over the country flew towards Lin'an and Luoyang like snowflakes.
Zhao Huan cried without tears. He thought that when he arrived in Jiangnan, he would be able to stay away from the war from now on. Then Fang La thought that he could not kill Xiaoqiang, and he came back in a blink of an eye.
What annoyed him even more was that the imperial army could not defeat the Jin soldiers or Liangshan, but why could not even destroy a group of riot bandits? And let them develop so much?
As the riots were about to attack Lin'an, and the court had no strong soldiers, what should we do? Before Liang Shicheng could remind him this time, he was the first to think of Song Qing.
It’s better for Song Qing! Although he is not very obedient, he has never forced me!
Thinking of this, Zhao Huan didn't care what the consequences would be for Song Qing to ask for help, and immediately sent someone to ask for help from Luoyang.
Fang La did not forget Song Qing, and of course Song Qing would not forget him. When Fang La mobilized his troops to attack Song, Song Qing had already received the news.
Song Qing even knew that the imperial army could not defeat Fang La at all, but this did not affect his schedule to inspect Hebei at all. Because he knew that Zhao Huan would come to ask him for help.
Zhao Huan's court is not the time to perish, so Song Qing will still save him, but if there is no certain benefit, how can he take action easily?
So Song Qing still had to wait, or was delaying, so he delayed Zhao Huan to agree to all his unreasonable requests.
Fang La's army may be very powerful, but can it be even more powerful than the Jin soldiers? Song Qing did not even think about sending troops, because he believed that Zhao Huan would prefer artillery compared to his own army.
Just when Zhao Huan's letter of help was just entering Luoyang, Song Qing had already arrived at the foot of Taihang Mountain. For nothing else, Wang Qing was still lying on the mountain.
Song Qing had no impression of Wang Qing except that he had heard of it in Water Margin. He even doubted whether there was such a person in history?
But no matter what, he really exists in this space.
Song Qing had also investigated Wang Qing in detail about him and found that this person had a very bad reputation and was basically full of evil deeds. But unexpectedly, when the Jin soldiers abused Hebei, he did not respond to the Jin soldiers, but kept in the Taihang Mountains.
Even if he did not fight against the Jin soldiers, nor did he participate in harming the people, it really made people wonder what he wanted to do.
Life is worse than a dog in troubled times. You can’t just say that he is a bad person just because he has killed many people. At least he did not take the wrong direction on the issue of big things, so Song Qing planned to give him a chance.
Zhao Huan said that Fang La was the undead Xiaoqiang, but Song Qing thought that Wang Qingcai was the most suitable to be called the immortal Xiaoqiang.
Wang Qing raised an army in Huaixi and occupied 86 counties when he was the most powerful. Although he was defeated in the end, he escaped from the layers of blockades by the court and successfully escaped into the Taihang Mountains. It is said that this is also a very capable person.
It is reported that Wang Qing still had more than 30,000 troops in the mountains, and he was stationed in various hills in the Taihang Mountains, which was very meaningful to be a mountain king.
Song Qing came to Taihang Mountain in the name of inspecting Hebei, secretly mobilized 60,000 sharp men to enter the Jingxing line to block Wang Qing's frontal way out. At the same time, he ordered Sima of the states under Taihang Mountain to mobilize troops to block various exits. In this way, there were no less than 100,000 people involved in the besiege of Wang Qing.
Of course, this battle can be resolved peacefully, otherwise he can only be harsh. For this reason, Song Qing mobilized twenty artillery pieces. As long as Wang Qing refused to surrender, he would push them over one mountain and another mountain, because Song Qing could not afford to drag it down.
Because Shi Qian met with Wang Qing's military advisor Li Zhu, he was regarded as a negotiating ambassador and went to the mountain to negotiate with Wang Qing.
Song Qing's conditions were very simple. As long as Wang Qing put down his weapons and surrendered, he would not blame him for his past. At the same time, he would be willing to give him wealth and prosperity to live up to his old age.
