But it is a good thing for Zheng Lang.

It was precisely because Zhao Zhen was about to feel the knife on his neck that he could agree to the nationwide layoffs. While holding a small court meeting in the capital, he kept issuing edicts.

The first edict was to lay off troops, not Shaanxi, but to the nationwide edict, from Shaanxi to Hedong, Hebei, to Jinji, to Liangzhuan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, to Lingnan, Lizhou and Kuizhou. This is a difficult thing to do, and to lay off troops all the way, otherwise there will be a big miss. However, the edict was clear, and the law was clear, and it would be more than half a year before the Qingli New Policy was destroyed, which was enough to complete this disarmament activity.

The second edict is to severely punish cowardly officials in various places. Any cowardly person is demoted immediately. Anyone who entertains thieves in order to seek justice should be demoted to Lingnan as a crime and will not be hired for life as punishment.

The third edict was issued. Officials from various prefectures and prefectures urgently gathered the victims and refugees. Instead of letting them rebel, they took them to take water conservancy, urban defense and roads in various places, and used labor for relief. It also clearly stipulated that each person would give six liters of rice, one dou of wheat, two liters of millet, or cotton coats of the same price a day. The salary was slightly lower than usual for the Song Dynasty, but maintaining a healthy labor force can barely ensure that the family maintains half full and half warm. In order to prevent some female households from getting hungry, it was also stipulated that female households should be compensated for an adult male labor force.

The fourth edict urged Xu Yuan to speed up the transfer of grain from Jiangnan, and just as the harvest of middle rice in Jiangnan began to solve the urgent need for food shortage in the north.

The fifth edict urged Shaanxi to send disaster victims to come, use labor for relief, and assist the court in transporting grain to Shaanxi.

The sixth edict was proposed by Zheng Lang, and issued an edict to let the soldiers and peasants in the uprising army return home to be good people immediately. If they did not investigate in the past, otherwise they would be executed for treason in the future.

The seventh edict sent Di Qing to lead a thousand foreign troops from Jingyuan to return to the capital in order to suppress uprisings in various places.

The eighth edict made Han Qi prepare, while laying off troops, preparing for borders and disaster relief, and cooperating with Shaanxi to suppress the expanded uprising army.

The ninth edict was issued to all regions, and those who captured Zhang Hai and his wife were rewarded with a thousand guan, while those who provided the news were rewarded with a hundred guan.

...

Twelve edicts were issued in one breath.

Zhang Hai suddenly entered Beijing, causing all the big bosses of the two palaces to be in danger, and in an unprecedented tense atmosphere. This time the city was so fast that it was unprecedented. Fifteen edicts were issued before noon. Zhang Hai caused a big trouble. This was the Song Dynasty, not the Tang Dynasty, and assassins were rampant. Especially when the feudal states were separatist and the central government was weak, the prime minister was killed. But the two people didn't know. When they saw the edict, the woman said angrily: "I've been fooled by this dog official."

He said he wanted to go back, but was grabbed by Zhang Hai.

If you unexpectedly want to go to Beijing to inquire about the news, but this time you enter Beijing, the capital is ready, and going in again will be more and more unlucky.

The woman stomped her feet hatefully and said, "I just said that this dog official would lead the troops to kill us."

"My wife. After returning, I sent someone to check the terrain of Xionger Mountain, and then prepare winter clothes, food and grass."

"Officials, what they say is reasonable."

The couple quickly disappeared on the official road on horseback.

Zheng Lang was about to go home. He smiled on the way. Zhao Zhen was really anxious, but everything was opposite and could not laugh at Chinese philosophy. For example, altruism. In ancient times, Mozi's thought was altruism. Materialist dialectical conception, and long passages of text can be found in Confucianism and Taoism. The transformation of Taoism's emptiness and wealth. The mutual misfortune and good fortune are the two sides of things. Crisis is the opposite. It is not this laughing, but the big guys such as Yan Shu. I guess he was afraid of Ouyang Xiu's violent behavior.

Ouyang Xiu not only attacks his personal shortcomings, but every attack will be a big hat, so that you can lose your life and get a broken reputation! Don’t be afraid of your shortcomings. Once you lose your reputation, that is the most terrifying thing. Like Li Shu, after letting Ouyang Xiu put on a big hat, even if you use it, will you still have a chance to enter the two palaces?

This is something that Zheng Lang cannot be anxious about. Ouyang Xiu is knowledgeable, good at writing articles, good at essays, poetry, songs, and omnipotent, and good at calligraphy. He is a great master in the literary world. He is worthy of it! But taking out the notes he wrote before and after the Qingli New Policy and distinguishing them from his other articles. If you read them alone, you will think of two people, Wang Hongwen, Zhang Chunqiao, or a word, which is hysterical!

Under such an attack, how could Yan Shu not be afraid?

After laughing, there was another sigh.

Some people say that Lu Yijian collapsed the Qingli New Deal. I believed that he had had several talks with Lu Yijian, so how could this happen? Is it necessary for Lu Yijian to come forward with the messy behavior of the gentlemen? If Lu Yijian was healthy and safe, the behavior of the gentlemen would make Lu Yijian eat without even a bone left.

But what should I do? I still endure it myself.

When I got home, I unexpectedly saw that all the Fan family were sitting in his living room, and some of them stood there without chairs.

Seeing Zheng Lang coming back, Old Man Fan stood up and said, "I have met Mr. Zheng."

"Wen Weng, you must be very polite," Zheng Lang called awkwardly. It was not a good title. Strictly speaking, it should be called Taishan and his father-in-law.

"Mr. Zheng, we are wrong..."

"Hey, how did you know?" Zheng Lang asked strangely. Although he told the story in the court, it should not have been spread to the people so quickly. Even if there was an edict, he only said that Zhang Hai was arrested, and no other words were said.

"The Prince Li went to Fanlou to interrogate him repeatedly. I don't know they were thieves." Old Man Fan said with a look of slut. If a bandit was convicted of being punished, the Fan family would be finished.

"It turns out it's Li Shu... Weng Weng, listen to me, don't worry, the Prefect Li will not have any ill intentions towards you, and others will not believe it. The court needs Fan Lou."

In fact, there were countless guests in the Fan family last night. Just drinking, so the Fan family had contact with many merchants. Zheng Lang did not count or ask, but it was estimated that it would not be less than two thousand. Even if Zhang Hai brought a team to the house, dressed and spoke appropriately, he could pretend to be a merchant and sneak into the wedding banquet. The key is that this is the most important, but the least important. What is black and white? It is impossible to reverse it? Therefore, Zheng Lang said three things, and Li Shu was very worried at this time. Zheng Lang hated and pity for this person. He was definitely of high qualification among the officials of the Song Dynasty, not an official who was a good meal. But his character really made people feel disgusted. At this time, Ouyang Xiu and other gentlemen were eyeing each other, and Li Shu also had to worry about himself at this knife point.

The Fan family and I have a vague marriage, and there are a few father-in-laws who framed their son-in-law. But it is unreasonable to frame a son-in-law like Zheng Lang, and they are not afraid of people wearing hats. Most of Fanlou's profits belong to the court, which is equivalent to a semi-official commercial restaurant. Otherwise, it would be impossible to make the height of Fanlou exceed the height of the inner palace building. What is the most lacking in the court at this time? Money. The court also needs Fanlou to make the smooth transition during this period.

The owner of the House Fan thought for a while, and the worry on his face finally disappeared, and he said, "Thank you for your reminder to Mr. Zheng."

"No need to thank you, let me know. If the Prefect Li asked, you should report it to the truth. Besides, Zhang Hai's entry into Beijing was a coincidence. Most of the time he came to Beijing to find out the news, which happened to make the couple's wedding and the guests were full of guests. With the large number of people, some well-informed people came to the table and mixed into the table. Meeting me was just a chance, otherwise I would have been dangerous last night." Zheng Lang's face was expressionless, and he couldn't help but chill in his heart. These two people had ulterior motives for him. Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought him to the pleasure boat. Fortunately, he was calm and scared them away with an empty city strategy. Otherwise, they might have let these two people cut off their heads last night.

Be careless, careless.

Comfort the Fan family and let them go back.

But Zheng Lang was also afraid, so he hired a few more guards and wrote a letter to inform Zhengjiazhuang, asking several concubines to hire some villagers from the village to patrol, not afraid of spending money, but fear that if.

Zheng Lang and his plants were like this, and the other big men in the capital who were even more afraid of death were beaten up for a moment, and the capital was in chaos.

Bad news came, Cao Yuanjie and Zhang Hong took the imperial guards to catch the thieves and hurriedly went forward without even choosing the candidates. The three of them lacked combat experience and had no ability to command. As soon as they went to Dengzhou, they were beaten up by the rebel army and fled in panic. Fortunately, they ran away quickly and were not killed many officers and soldiers.

The rebel army was not Guo Miaoshan and Zhang Hai, but others, Dang Junzi, Fan San, Li Zong, etc. These five were the five largest rebel army, as well as several other small rebel army, so all the prefectures and counties were destroyed. What was terrible was that they gradually met and opened warehouses and grain, which caused some refugees and hungry people to be deceived by them and quickly joined, growing exponentially and at a rapid pace every day. And they were familiar with the local terrain, and he did not understand that Cao Yuanjie was beaten by the rebel army.

Seeing that the rebel army was powerful and the old and dull scented Jinzhou magistrate Wang Maoxian took the initiative to open the city gate and let the rebel army go to the city to rest and provide him with food, drink and fun. This man is in his sixties. I wonder if he can still walk to Lingnan? Let's talk about it later. It is important to save his life first. Shunyang County Magistrate Li Zheng had become more excessive. He selected a drum band from the county town and beat drums all the way, warmly welcomed the rebel army into the county town. It was a county town, small, so he vacated the county government to stay overnight and let him wash and burn and kill him in the city.

When Zhao Zhen saw these memorials, he was so angry that he hummed in the palace.

It’s no other emperor. Zhao Zhen really raised officials. He would rather not eat well and dress well than make officials feel wronged. Why are they just some bandits who actually have so many ugly dramas?

When he was worried, Di Qing brought a thousand cavalry to the capital in a simple and simple manner.

Zhao Zhen was curious about this general and specially ordered him to enter the palace to see him. After talking for a long time, Long Yan was very happy and gave him 500,000 yuan in money and 100 pieces of silk. The country was poor and became very stingy when he took action. Wang Zhi and others gave him 200,000 yuan, which shows how much importance he attached to Di Qing.

Zhao Zhen issued another edict to ask Han Qi to lead his troops to suppress the riots in Shaanxi and Zheng Lang to suppress the riots in western Beijing. Thinking of this edict, Zhao Zhen lost his mind again. There were so many ministers in the country, so he could not let Zheng Lang come forward in everything. What did this happen? It would be better to give these ministers the salary to Zheng Lang alone, so as to save so many wine bags.

Zheng Lang had no other ideas, and he followed the orders, but he liked them very much.

It was this difficult situation that made Zhao Zhen become cruel, which led to the origin of the Qingli New Deal.

If he didn't leave, he would immediately fall into this journey of trouble. He said that Fan Zhongyan's ten ranks were not good? Waiting for death. He said that his goodness would be someone to settle the score in the autumn. After receiving the order, he immediately selected soldiers from the capital. The troops in Shaanxi began to rotate, and the capital also replaced the Ninth Battalion Army. Among them, the fourth battalion was from Jingyuan Road, the two battalions of horses and the seventh battalion Army, and Zheng Lang led them out together, but the Ninth Battalion was not satisfied. One was the result of the cut, and the other was the reduction of the sacrifice. The Ninth Battalion was only more than 2,600 people. So the Tenth Battalion Army was selected from the capital. The capital had not yet been disbanded. In order to increase its combat effectiveness, Zheng Lang first cut off and eliminated the elderly, weak, sick and disabled one by one. He conducted another wave of combat training, tested the archery and horse fighting skills, and carried out the second wave of elimination. The tenth battalion organization was more than 2,900 people, and the actual number was only more than 2,600 people, but only 1,800 people were left after the elimination.

As a result, Zhao Zhen was speechless for a long time. Only one elimination exposed three problems. First, there was a vacancy of 300 people, secondly, less than 70% of the soldiers could be used, and finally, the tenth battalion was organized, which required a number of grassroots generals. However, based on the full capacity of the actual combat, only four and a half battalions could be organized. The fifth battalion was insufficient, and Zheng Lang chose a better horse army, and the bad situation would be even worse.

This is real data, how can it not be shocking?

After half a day, he said softly: "Accurate."

Zheng Lang summoned the two battalions of the Border Army again without any care, and was not as if he had gone to suppress Wang Lun. He led only more than 200 people. This time he led 5,800 soldiers, 3,600 cavalry and only 2,200 infantry. Compared with Fan Yong's tens of thousands of troops in history, the number of people was still not large, but these 5,800 soldiers can be said to be the strongest army in the capital.

Before traveling, Zhao Zhen summoned Zheng Lang to the palace and said, "Zheng Qing, thank you for your hard work."

"Your Majesty, as the prime minister of the country, I have trouble with the country and the prime minister also has dereliction of duty, so why should I work hard?"

"It has nothing to do with you, it's because I haven't done it well... I want to..." Zhao Zhen said hesitantly.

"It's okay, I will report to Your Majesty calmly when I come back," Zheng Lang interrupted his clever words: "The military is in critical condition, and there is no time to take care of him."

Zhao Zhen cannot be told.

Then he led his army westward, but when he came to Wushan, Zheng Lang did something strange, stationed the army and then trained the soldiers to start climbing the mountain. The climbing of the mountains also allowed the soldiers to learn to use hook ropes and climb up cliffs.

When the big men in the capital heard it, they looked at each other. The war ahead was critical and they didn't go to quell the rebellion immediately. Why did they think of climbing the mountain? But they didn't understand military affairs, so they all took a strange attention to Zheng Lang's actions and stared at them.

The boss of the capital was watching Zheng Lang's actions, and Zheng Lang was also paying attention to the current situation in the capital.

September begins, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the geese fly south. This is originally a harvest season, but due to the drought and the outbreak of rebels everywhere, the north is full of sorrow.

The most terrifying news came, a rebel army actually crossed the Yellow River from Shanzhou and washed away the grain protection team.

The food was not lost much. The court had just sent people to send food to Guanzhong, but the scale was not large. However, the symbolic significance was very strong. Once the people who transported the food were panic and no one was willing to transport the food to Guanzhong, the disaster in Guanzhong would not be alleviated, and more people participated in the rebellion. Either send troops to escort it, which would waste a lot of financial resources.

Under such a bleak situation, a major event finally happened in the capital, and the Qingli New Policy slowly kicked off...
