    "Wang Shixian was a famous general when he was in the Jin Kingdom. Since he surrendered to Mongolia, he has become a scourge for our army." Zheng Yunming sighed: "To curb the rampant ferocity of the Mongolian army, we must first control Wang Shixian. How many people are there in Sichuan now?  "The troops in Shukou are the best in Shu." Peng Daya sighed: "In the past, when General Cao was there, he defeated the Mongolian army and guarded Shukou. Now General Cao has been defeated, and the rest are not worth mentioning.  Prefecture Dutong He Yanwei is the last remnant of Shukou soldiers. He is still in Jinzhou in the north. There are only a few thousand people left in his army. The Mongolian army will definitely capture him and annihilate him. Lu Pu, the pacification envoy on Kuizhou Road, has something in his hands.  Thousands of troops, their combat effectiveness cannot be said to be strong. The others are just some state and county guards. Among them, the one with the strongest combat effectiveness is Wang Kui, the current guard general of Jiading Prefecture.  A thousand cavalry are brave and good at fighting, but they are just a man." "How are you as a man?" Zheng Yunming asked: "In the management of a country, tough people must be wild and difficult to control. Is he another owl general who is disturbing the local area?  ?" "It's not just a nuisance to the place." Peng Daya sighed: "This Wang Kui, the Sichuan people nicknamed him 'Wang Yaksha', and I understood after thinking about this name that anyone who meets him will die.  He died. I heard that he was stationed in Jiading Prefecture. His biggest hobby every day was to capture wealthy people and torture them. He put dustpans on people's heads and lit fires around them to intimidate them, or hung bowstrings on their noses.  He would put someone on a wooden frame, press his legs with wood, or forcefully force someone to get jealous. The purpose was just to get some money. If he was not satisfied, his subordinates might be killed at any time.  They plundered poor people, took chickens when they saw it, and robbed women when they saw it. But now the Hu army is raging everywhere, and there are only a few soldiers and horses in Sichuan that have some fighting ability.  I don¡¯t dare to touch him.¡± ¡°I understand,¡± Zheng Yunming said calmly: ¡°I will go to Jiading Mansion later to meet with Wang Zongzong. What is the current situation of the treasury in eastern Sichuan? Is there a shortage of food?  " When talking about the issue of money and food, Peng Daya immediately put on a bitter face: "The economy in Sichuan was already in deficit, and Zhao Zhizhi's appeasement led to the large-scale relocation of households to Chongqing this year.  The supplies spent on the journey were countless. Now that the enemy invaded, the stores of the Sichuan General Consulate and the Envoy Department were captured by the enemy in Langzhong. The trade proceeds of the Tea Horse Department, the Transportation Department and the state capital were also captured.  Lizhou was intercepted by the enemy. Now the area around Chengdu is empty of people, and the area around Chongqing is indeed filled with people who have fled and relocated beforehand. There is no farmland to support them, and even I, a parent official in Chongqing, don't know how.  "That's good." "How many refugees are there around Chongqing?" Zheng Yunming frowned. Starting from Xiangyang, he has a lot of experience in dealing with refugees, and he also knows how much pressure a mouth needs to eat for a local official.  "At the beginning, it was planned to relocate 20,000 households and 100,000 residents of Chengdu. Later, when the news spread, everyone was in danger, and more and more residents fled to Chongqing. Later, almost 600,000 to 700,000 people left Chengdu.  The city moved to Chongqing. Including those who fled to Chongqing in a hurry after the war, there are more than one million refugees in and outside Chongqing." Peng Daya put his hand on his forehead and said with a very ugly face: "The government office has opened the warehouse.  Help the refugees. But there are too many people nearby. If this continues, the whole of Chongqing will soon be wiped out. "Zheng Yunming had already considered these issues many times on the boat on the way to Shu. He had no soldiers, no money, and no money.  Chongqing was not well-prepared for food, and there were millions of people who needed to eat. He had already known this in his mind, and he had planned the solution countless times.  "This matter cannot be solved by Sichuan alone. We will immediately ask the court for support. The top priority is to ask the court for three things, but in contrast, we have to do three things ourselves." Peng Daya was slightly stunned and asked the court for money.  Asking for food is something we must do, but what should Chongqing do?  Zheng Yunming slowly explained his inner plan word for word: "Food is the top priority at the moment, and the lost property also needs to be replenished. Sichuan cannot solve these two problems at the moment, so we have to ask the court for support. If the government agrees, I will  Kuizhou Lu wrote to the imperial court in the name of the deputy ambassador, requesting the imperial court to allocate 500,000 dan of grain to Jinghu and an additional 15 million dan of subsidy to be sent to Chongqing as money and grain to reorganize the people's livelihood in Sichuan.  Before these two things, the court must do another thing. " Peng Daya glanced at Zheng Yunming, watching him talk about these national events in a sophisticated manner, without any trace of youthfulness.  "Is there anything more important than replenishing money and food?" "Before replenishing money and food, we must first open up the river roads and establish a complete post station system." Zheng Yunming said: "At the beginning of the southern crossing, when Wu Jie was the envoy, the imperial court  It only took fifteen days for the gold-lettered Pegasus to reach the front line at Shukou, but now??It took more than thirty-eight days to deliver the news from Lin'an via Jinzipai Express to Chengdu. In many cases, the river road was blocked, so the court could not get any news from Chengdu, and it was difficult for the court's edicts to reach Shu.  Therefore, the imperial court was suspicious of Shu ministers, and Shu ministers often made their own decisions and deviated from the imperial government's policies.  If you want to govern the Shu region well and resist the fierce offensive of the Mongolian army, you must make the Shu region and the imperial court integrated into one unit.  Therefore, I will ask the imperial court to send personnel to reorganize the road to the post station, and Sichuan will also fully cooperate. Within a year, we will reach the point where it only takes twelve days to reach the point from Lin'an to Chongqing with a quick horse and a gold-lettered emergency report.  Let the court no longer have doubts about Sichuan, and then Sichuan can be determined.  " Sichuan's civil and military ministers who are used to freedom may not be willing to reorganize the post roads, but now is the time when they want to ask the court, and the ministers really are not qualified to negotiate terms with the court. " And Chongqing can't just wait for money and food. What changes will happen?  Don't do it either.  Zheng Yunming's expression became serious: "The Chongqing government must do three things well."  " "The first one is to start a work-for-relief operation as soon as the money and food arrive, and start a major project to build a mountain city.  " Zheng Yunming didn't look surprised when he saw everyone in the audience. On the contrary, many people nodded slightly secretly. He knew that the rush to build a mountain city had long been brewing in the minds of many Sichuan officials. He organized his thoughts and said loudly: "  When I came west from Jinghu, the cities I saw along the way were all built of rammed earth, and some were even earthen cities built during the Three Kingdoms period.  I arrived in Chongqing today and saw that the city in Chongqing is still made of rammed earth.  Now that the Mongols have mastered advanced trebuchet technology, earthen cities alone cannot stop them.  " "The current plan is to imitate the style of Xiangyang and build a city wall based on bluestone strips and double-layered with bricks. After Xiangyang's actual combat test, even the Mongolian army's heaviest twenty-one cannons can't deal with this kind of double-layer city wall.  Layers of brick walls cannot cause structural damage.  " Zheng Yunming added: "I have brought a hundred brick-burning masters from Jinghu. After choosing a location in Chongqing, we can immediately set up a brick kiln and start work.  Peng Daya shook his head and said: "Chongqing is full of mountains, with less soil and more rocks. Bricks are not as reliable as stones for comfort."  " Zheng Yunming nodded: "Chongqing has always been famous for producing stones. I also know a little bit about it. The materials used should be considered flexibly. Those who can use stone should use stone.  Purpose, what do you think?  " Peng Daya nodded in agreement, and Zheng Yunming continued: "It is far from enough to build a city in Chongqing. The so-called city building must build a series of support points, and then train the support points into defense lines, and then build a strong defense line with several lines of defense.  defense area, and then the enemy cannot invade.  Therefore, the construction of Chongqing city is a smaller part of the plan. Next, we will carry out large-scale construction in eastern Sichuan, build mountain cities, form a complete chain defense system, and build eastern Sichuan into a solid anti-war base, so that the Mongols will have nothing to lose even if they have a large army.  Can do.  " "As for the location to build the mountain city, I will work with all local officials to inspect along the road, and we must guard the dangerous passes so that the barbarians can penetrate seamlessly.  "Although this young man is young, he speaks loudly. Building a city to guard a dangerous place will cost a lot of money, food and manpower. I wonder if he has the ability to implement this huge plan. Everyone has this idea.  , listening to Zheng Yunming continue: "The second most important thing is to publish a list of talents and seek only talents.  Sichuan Tianfu is full of outstanding people, and there are many outstanding talents.  Moreover, the local people have a clear understanding of the mountains, rivers, geography, customs and customs, and they will definitely be able to offer clever ideas.  I have an idea, which is to set up a gathering hall in the small archway, right next to the government office. As long as there are talented people and strangers who can put forward constructive opinions, the government will welcome them regardless of their status.  As for the food and various supplies at Jixian Hall, they will all be treated the same as me.  I wonder what Futai thinks?  " He was very polite in his words, but the Sichuan officials headed by Peng Daya knew what he had in mind. The Song army was newly defeated, Chengdu was massacred, Zhao Yanna had just been dismissed from his official position by the court, and the entire Sichuan officialdom was facing  At the same time as the war test, there was inevitably a personnel earthquake. At this time, the foreign officials who entered Shu were eager to promote some of their own confidants. But on the surface, Peng Daya had no power to oppose it. Recruiting talents was a big deal.  Anyone who opposes at all will be considered to be selfish. Now that Sichuan's new ambassador Li Zhi has not yet taken office, Zhao Yanna's old subordinates are all in trouble.  Nothing will get in the way.
