    Chapter 281 Dongchuang Incident Xiao Ganyun asked: "Aren't you going to run?" "How to run? There is chaos outside." Ouyang said: "And 30% of my guards have left the city, which is enough for you to get to Han.  The general's army is coming. " "I should have guarded the four gates early in the morning and then set fire to the city. It was a mistake." Xiao Ganyun couldn't help but sigh: "Sixty years ago, one Khitan man could defeat three Song imperial troops.  Weak, your hands and feet are stiff, you can't pull the bow strong, and you can't kill with the sword. If you were of the quality of the Khitan people sixty years ago, your eight hundred guards would be easily eaten by us. " "Brother, you also know that you are in your thirties every day.  Playing with women, gambling, drinking, and staying up late. Brother, I have never seen you use weapons, even when fighting, they are the same. Many of them joined the army because of the current situation of the Khitan.  Well don't you know how the palace army is trained in Linhuang? The quota of 400,000 is actually only 320,000, and some of them are assigned back to their families, and those who serve as officials eat empty pay and receive military supplies.  Trading with Song merchants and smuggling secretly. Well Let's just talk about our Happy Valley. There are also palace guards to help watch the scene. Gambling is a common practice and drinking is a disease. What kind of fighting power can we have? " "You don't understand this, Gong.  The tent army still has elite Tielin troops." Xiao Ganyun said: "It's a pity that they were all lost at Bubu Gangda, otherwise you Han people would not have been so easy." "Brother, 700,000 people fought against 20,000 people." Ouyang.  Said: "You actually lost the battle, are you ashamed? What kind of elite, 50,000 Tielin Army, I have heard of the name a long time ago, but they were killed by 20,000 Jurchens, haven't you thought about where it happened?  "Problem?" Xiao Ganyun argued: "If it weren't for the rebellion in the rear" "Why the rebellion?" Ouyang said, "Isn't it your own fault? In the life-and-death battle at the front, how could there be any Khitan people taking the opportunity to rebel?"  In the end, after the Jurchen victory, Wanyan Aguda's prestige increased, and almost all the Jurchen tribes came to surrender. In the end, they were defeated. If it weren't for the support of the Song Dynasty's firearms and materials, the Khitan would have been destroyed long ago. " "" Xiao Ganyun.  Sigh and stop talking.  Eight thousand Jurchens defeated 100,000 Liao troops, 12,000 occupied Huanglong Mansion, and 20,000 defeated 700,000.  Each miracle is not only based on the Jurchens' bravery and good fighting skills, but also based on the Khitan's incompetence and low combat effectiveness, which led to such a strange story.  Xiao Ganyun is the direct descendant of Xiao Yanyan, the strongwoman who led the Khitan to its greatest military power, and is also the Empress Dowager Xiao.  He has heard the myth that Khitan warriors are invincible since he was a child, but there is a big gap between reality and ideals.  ¡­¡­ One day later, the eight thousand forbidden troops closest to Pingzhou arrived. The general heard that Ouyang¡¯s imperial envoy team was attacked, and three souls were missing. Seven souls were missing, so Xingye came with his people.  Finally, Ouyang was found to be fine and he breathed a sigh of relief.  Ouyang Guards' losses were not small. Under the strategy of dividing them into pieces to attract the enemy's attention in batches, more than 150 people died in the battle.  Ouyang allocated 300,000 yuan as their pension, and the surviving soldiers were also rewarded.  Despite the encirclement and suppression, there are still hundreds of Khitan people missing.  Han Shizhong sent a team of 1,000 people, a total of ten teams to look for clues and pursue them.  Although many officials were disgraced, they still managed to save their lives. Han Shizhong sincerely thanked the Khitan people for their low combat effectiveness and improper command.  The placement of the soldiers was quickly decided.  The first part is to move to the Song Dynasty. Domestic merchants in the Song Dynasty, including the original Xiang army labor vacancies, will have a labor demand of 50,000 people. Since they are all in economically developed areas, wages are not low.  Of course, the 50,000 people will be stationed in batches within two years.  The second part is to open Changzhou. Although it is overseas, Khitan people can still be officials there, and they are more free. There is even the possibility of getting rich overnight. It is still a lawless place for the time being.  The third part is the recruitment of workers in the real estate industry occupied by the Liao Dynasty. Although they are not too far away from home, the wages are relatively small, the treatment is not comparable to that in the Song Dynasty, and there are few opportunities for literacy and promotion.  In the end, everyone who is unwilling to participate will pay the usual travel expenses.  The only condition is that you are not allowed to carry weapons. Although weapons can be manufactured later, it will prevent a large-scale return of armed troops and ease conflicts in public security.  All weapons were purchased by the imperial court, with prices ranging from three arrows to two fine iron sabers.  This is a large-scale resettlement, covering a wide range of areas. The imperial court agreed to promote soldiers from the Forbidden Army to perform administrative work.  Due to his special status, Ouyang had a great influence on business associations and court policies, and had close contacts with former Liao officials.  He is a person who is favored by all parties. He works efficiently and quickly, and the situation in Liaoning gradually stabilizes. ?????¡­???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Here, but the high pressure on the Jurchens did not end, and Han Shizhong was separated.?Thirty thousand elite troops came from Huanglong Mansion to support the Hebei Military Road.  Under the leadership of Zhang Jun, the Hebei Army defeated the Jurchen resistance forces at every turn. Although they still did not have a decisive battle with the Jurchen forces, they fought steadily and slowly reduced the Jurchen movement space.  The Hangzhou Fleet also landed in the northern part of the Jurchens in the East China Sea, forming a north-south pincer attack on the Jurchens in the East China Sea.  The Jurchens were cut into two parts, one was the coastal area of ??the Jurchens in the East China Sea, and the other was the two territories of the Five Kingdoms east of the Jurchens in the East China Sea.  Ouyang's matter came to an end, and he and Zhang San and Li Si returned to Beijing to pay the order.  But what Ouyang didn't expect was that he would step down as an imperial envoy just after paying the order.  There is a new imperial edict to intercept Ouyang.  The imperial edict was given to Ouyang, and Ouyang also received dozens of imperial edicts, some of which were rewards and some were sent.  But none of them are like today.  Jiu Gonggong read: "confused the morale of the army, provoked the frontiers, falsely preached the imperial edict, acted daringly, captured the Kaifeng Mansion, and handed it over to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai Hall for trial." Zhang San shouted: "Who dares? Your Majesty actually does this.  The strength of my lord Ping Liao cannot be compared with that of Han Shizhong. "Jiu Gonggong received the imperial edict and said, "Young man, you know the truth about right and wrong."  Li Sixian replied: "Father, my lord has a book of elixirs, and no one can be held responsible." "Our family knows that, but it's a pity that it also says that he is good at mobilizing the army, and does not include conspiracy, rebellion, treason, etc." Jiu Gong was fair.  "Honestly, if the emperor doesn't have a reason to be very angry, who would dare to touch Mr. Ou?" "Okay, you go back first." Ouyang said, "You asked Ou Ping and Jin Niang to transfer my money to avoid being ransacked.  "Jiu Gonggong smiled bitterly: "Master Ou is still thinking of joking. This matter is not a trivial matter." "I know, isn't it just to mobilize Liu Qi to destroy the Mongolian tribes and conquer the Xiliao area?"  News arrived that the imperial court sent Zongze to investigate the matter.  But even so, the Yongxing Army led by Liu Qi has been divided into six teams and is advancing steadily on the grassland, and it is impossible to withdraw troops temporarily.  It was impossible to withdraw the troops and could only continue to fight. If the battle continued, the general could not be dismissed. The court knew this, so Ouyang, as the chief culprit, was detained as soon as he returned to Tokyo and resigned as an imperial envoy.  Ouyang said: "What's the big deal? This matter has nothing to do with General Liu. I made the arrangements privately. You can help me place my elder brother. If he really doesn't want to live in Yangping, just give him money and let him go."  "Li Si cupped his fists and said, "Don't worry, sir. We'll go back to Yangping to ask Mr. Liu." "No," Ouyang said. "If we continue this case, the consequences will be serious.  serious.  Han Shizhong was guilty of acquiescence, Zhang Jun was also guilty of concealing it, and Liu Qi was even more guilty.  Because in essence, Ouyang was just the supervisor of the Hebei Military Road and had no right to mobilize troops. Liu Qi was the chief general of the Yongxing Military Road and understood this clearly.  Moreover, even if the Three Futures were scapegoated, Ouyang would still be charged with incitement, and the charge of provoking the border tribes would be unavoidable.  ¡­ This time Ouyang was not treated like last time. He was imprisoned in the Kaifeng Mansion Sky Prison, which contained many criminals.  His official clothes became prison uniforms and he was put in a separate cell.  The air in the cell was damp and smelled bad.  The hay made the bed.  Except for having better food every day, they are no different from other criminals.  Ouyang¡¯s imprisonment soon caused a sensation in the Song Dynasty, and the Royal News reported the facts objectively.  The main charges are provoking border provocations, deceiving the morale of the military, and arbitrarily mobilizing troops to start wars.  According to the work of the past few years, both the Eight Enemy Tribes and some Mongolian tribes in the Liao Dynasty have nominally submitted to the Song Dynasty and become tribes under the Song Dynasty. The court is currently starting to work towards the west.  But unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Qi's army arrived, they began to conquer various tribes, plundered and killed tribal chiefs, and killed those who did not agree to lay down their weapons and move south.  Every time Liu Qi occupied a land, he would title his soldiers as kings of the land and station a hundred forbidden troops to mop up the resistance forces in the land and stabilize the rear.  These land kings are the new owners of these lands. They can graze freely. There are businessmen in the business association who are building leather processing fields and livestock exchanges in the heartland.  The materials they produce will be supplied to the residents of the former Liao Dynasty.  Ouyang not only overturned the court's appeasement policy towards foreign and border tribes, but also began to seize their land.  The problem of the Royal News is that we want to completely eliminate the threat that nomads have posed to the original world for thousands of years.  Or should we continue to govern the country with benevolence and justice and allow them to exist?  The Royal News listed the harm done to Yuan by nomads in history. Starting from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, they never stopped plundering and invading Yuan.  The Xiongnu, Donghu, Turks, Khitan, Xianbei and other ethnic groups continued to invade. As long as their tribes bordered the Yuan Dynasty, plunder would follow.  Once a strong leader appears among these nomads, they will be greatly harmed.  When a nomad is driven away, a new nomad will occupy their land. For example, the Han Dynasty expelled the Xiongnu, and the Tang Dynasty expelled the Turks.However, the original border issue has never been solved once and for all.  Of course, due to objectivity, newspapers also described the peaceful coexistence between nomads and the original people. For example, Zhaojun came out of the fortress, Princess Cheng and the others brought the original culture, technological exchanges, etc., and harmoniously created a hundred years of peace.  As a result, this matter formed a heated discussion among the people.  Zhao Yu has never seen Ouyang, and Ouyang has not asked to see her. Ouyang has not even asked to see anyone.  Due to the special circumstances of the case and Ouyang's influence, no one can see Ouyang without the eunuch or a handwriting.  Zongze has not returned from the border yet, so Ouyang's case cannot be tried.  Ouyang's fate is still unclear, and everyone is nervously waiting for Zongze's return and the emperor's final ruling.  At this time, news from the Ministry of Personnel came out, and the imperial court had already adopted a relatively tough attitude. It ended Ouyang's appointment as magistrate of Ping County, dismissed Ouyang as a sixth-rank official, and appointed Gan Xin as magistrate of Yangping County.  The cause was that a Khan's daughter from the grassland passed through numerous blockades and arrived in Tokyo to complain.  Produced evidence to prove that his tribe was very satisfied with the management of the Song Dynasty and respected the Song Dynasty for generations. However, the entire tribe was moved to the Song Dynasty by the Yongxing Army. Hundreds of people were killed, and all the young men were used as Xiang troops.  As soon as this news came out, everyone knew that the court was going to be cruel to Ouyang.  The first public reaction was rising prices and the layoff of employees in disguise.  This was not something the merchants did to save Ouyang, but a situation caused by the monopoly due to the lack of supervision by the court and the lack of Ouyang's shackles.  The first batch of prices to rise were ceramics, expensive medicines and non-daily necessities.  The second batch of rising land transport, river transport and maritime transport industries.  Their rise has led to an increase in the costs of various merchants, thus driving up the price of all businesses.  Then it also interfered with the price of rice. Although the court set a price for rice, after the transportation cost increased, it would be unprofitable to buy rice from other places. If the supply of local rice is not enough, it can only be imported from other places, resulting in what is called black rice among the people.  .  However, the price of black rice in the local area made it difficult for people to buy it, so the two cities and even several states communicated with each other, using each other's transportation to produce black rice and driving up the price of rice.  Although the court wants to take control, it also understands that once it cracks down on black rice, it will lead to an embarrassing situation where there is no rice supply in some places.  Zhao Yu made an appointment with Su Qian, and Su Qian cried and complained that he was helpless. He had already sent out letters in the name of the chairman, asking everyone to stabilize prices.  But he himself was under a lot of pressure.  Shareholders of Yangping Bank requested an increase in loan interest due to rising prices.  There is no worst, only worse.  Without Ouyang's deterrent control, officials and businessmen began to collude openly. Driven by huge profits, even military logistics dared to sell military straw to private businessmen.  ¡°However, as long as the two major banks in Yangping and Southeast are stable, the consequences of these things are not as serious as the first financial crisis.  However, rising prices is already a fact. Prices have risen, and wages have also increased, but they cannot keep up with prices.  Moreover, some places have begun to make things difficult for employees, deducting wages from employees, requiring compulsory overtime, and other means.  Although the destructive power was not great, the economy in Song Dynasty was in a relatively chaotic state.  Under such circumstances, Su Qian met Ouyang accompanied by internal guards.  Even in such an environment, Ouyang is still very clean and looks good.  The Kaifeng governor specially ordered that one change of clothes every two days and take a bath once a day.  Due to the surveillance of internal guards, Su Qian did not mention Ouyang's case, but explained the current situation.  Ouyang Xiangxiang said: "In fact, they not only hinder economic stability, but also hinder the interests of many business association members. For example, shopkeeper Wang, what you produce is mines. Your food costs have increased, and transportation costs have also increased, but  The price of mines has not increased, because most of them are sold to the court. Even if they are sold to merchants, there are still several years of contracts. Although the price can be increased, there is also a ceiling price. This matter has little impact on the flexible operation of the industry, but  It will greatly affect long-term industries such as the Seven Contracts. " "Well, what do you mean, sir?" "I mean, the business association will be called immediately to ask the companies involved in shipping, road transportation, and river transportation to reduce their prices.  Joint boycott and sanctions. Cut off the source. "Su Qian said: "Do you think this proposal will be passed?" "The environment was good before, and now some of the income is relatively stable.  People disrupting the rules for personal gain will cause a lot of people to feel uneasy." Ouyang grabbed Su Qiandu and whispered, "If they don't agree, you will stop the transportation industry arbitration." It is the chairman's right to stop arbitration in the industry.  , this will lead to the emergence of a new transportation industry due to the huge profits in the transportation industry, and then form competition.  Since you don't listen to the business association, the business association will no longer protect your monopoly interests.  "Thank you, sir." Su Qian cupped his hands and said, "Sir, I'm sure a lucky person will have his destiny." "Haha," Ouyang said with a smile, "I don't care, you can go and do your work."????????????????????????????????A few days later, the Nine Eunuchs came to Ouyang again: "According to the emperor's order, I came here to ask questions." Ouyang said: "The common people are no longer officials of the imperial court. According to the usual practice, the questions are from Kaifeng Mansion." "What do you mean?"  Ouyang said: "Before the trial of the three halls, the emperor was not sure whether I was guilty or not, so he dismissed me from my official position. Why bother to ask questions. Father-in-law, please go back." "This" Ouyang asked: "Where is General Liu?  "How?" "The progress is going well," Jiu Gong said, "Why don't Mr. Ou write a confession and ask for the emperor's forgiveness?" "You mean that the emperor punished me for his own sake?" Ouyang said with a smile.  "I'm afraid not. Besides, I have not denied my guilt. I admit all the charges mentioned in the imperial edict of the father-in-law." "The expedition against Mongolia and Western Liao will do no good to you at all. Why do you still do this even though you know that your family and life are in danger?  "I told the emperor about this before, but the emperor ignored it," Ouyang said, "As for the reason, I told him at that time." "Do you think the emperor was joking this time?"  "No, but you won't kill me, right?" Zhao Yu's heart may be so ruthless, but his skin is not that thick.  "" Jiu Gongzheng said: "Master Zong has returned to Tokyo. There will be a three-court trial the day after tomorrow. Please take care of yourself. Let's take our leave." Zong Ze's investigation report is just a formality and cannot be fully submitted at all.  Zhao Yu read the report, which said that both Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun knew about it, but they did not raise any objections and did not report it to the court afterwards.  According to Zong Ze's interview, they believed that this was a good way to solve the infringement of the northern nomadic tribes once and for all.  Liu Qi and other persons involved in the case had no competing interests and acted in private or concealed the matter out of an attitude of serving the country and the people.
