"There will always be people who will do it. The court will force them to do it."
Li Di said lightly.
"Then force them."
Zhao Jun nodded slightly, then knocked on the copper bell on the table.
"Zhiyuan."
The official from the Constitutional Court who was on duty outside walked in.
"Go and ask Eunuch Wang."
"yes."
The official left.
"Are you planning to transfer the imperial guards from Liangzhe Road?"
When Jiang Tang saw that Wang Shouzhong was invited, he turned around and asked.
"Well, it's time to see some blood."
Zhao Jun's eyes were deep, and then he frowned slightly.
He remembered something.
There were garrison troops in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and he had the power to mobilize them.
The Constitutional Court can also be mobilized. If there is no need to send the imperial guards, there is actually no need to ask Zhao Zhen to issue an edict.
But this time he was serious about killing a group of people to intimidate the landlords all over the world, so he had to use fully armed imperial guards.
For example, there was the Guangde Corps of the Imperial Guards in Liangzhe Road.
However, the Guangde Legion nominally had ten food supply camps as an external dispatch, but in fact three of them were in Bianliang, the other five were in Xijing Henan Prefecture, one each in Mengzhou and Cangzhou, and the Guangde Army had only one camp locally.
After the military restructuring in recent years, the Guangde Corps has been reduced to six battalions. Currently, there are four in Bianliang, one in Hebei, and the remaining one in Guangde.
This battalion of 500 Guangde troops was mainly responsible for dealing with the rebellion in the southeastern hills.
Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, many Han people fled into the southeastern hills, which is the area that later spread southward from Huangshan in Anhui to the mountainous area of Fujian.
The Shanyue people who were attacked by the Eastern Wu during the Three Kingdoms period lived here all year round. In fact, they were all Han people who fled into the mountains to avoid war or were unwilling to pay taxes.
By the Song Dynasty, the Shanyue people had almost become extinct. They were conquered by the Eastern Wu and Eastern Jin dynasties, two dynasties that were based in Jiangdong. The Shanyue people became history and this place gradually became the inherent territory of the Han people.
However, taxation was harsh during the Northern Song Dynasty, so many people in the south of the Yangtze River once again fled into the mountains to avoid taxes, and even resorted to armed resistance. There were also murder fugitives who ran in, so in addition to the local wing troops in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, there were also two military systems planned: the Guangde Army and the Nankang Army.
In addition, there are three corps, namely the Zhongjie Corps, the Xuanyi Corps, and the Weiguo Corps, with a total of more than ten grain-supply camps distributed in various states to take turns to provide grain.
In other words, there are two battalions of one thousand people stationed in Liangzhe Road, namely Guangde Army and Nankang Army, and more than ten grain camps are stationed in rotation. It is not a problem to mobilize five or six thousand imperial guards.
The problem is that these soldiers are not subordinate to each other, and it is impossible to hand over military power to local officials.
Firstly, there are no military governors in the southern regions, and the transport envoys have no military power, so it is a big taboo for them to be in charge of military affairs.
Neither of them could tell whether the officials of Jiangzhe Road were involved with the landlords. What if he couldn't achieve the desired effect?
So we still have to send someone.
Got to find a tough guy.
Zhao Jun thought about it and realized that Di Qing was very brave in killing foreign enemies, but he might not be so cruel as to suppress the landlords.
What he wants this time is a river of blood flowing along the Liangzhe Road.
"Who do you think can lead the troops? Honestly, if there's really no one, I'll go myself."
Zhao Jun looked around at everyone and asked.
He killed the evil forces in Bianliang, corrupt officials, and nobles and generals. At least 80,000 people died in his hands.
But in the past, it was all for the purpose of fighting for power, cleaning up the bureaucracy, and solving the problem of redundant troops.
Moreover, the killing of evil forces and noble generals was carried out directly in Bianliang, and the killing of corrupt officials was carried out when they were seen during their inspection tours across the country.
This time I even went all the way to Zhejiang, which was really a waste of time.
He is very busy.
"Can't Di Qing go?"
Yan Shu asked.
"To be honest, he's really not needed for such a small matter."
Zhao Jun shook his head.
"Just ask the Privy Council to send a general. The Song Dynasty is now full of generals. Are you still worried about not being able to find the manpower?"
Zhang Shixun laughed.
"No, I still have some things to explain. I'm afraid those people won't understand what I mean."
Zhao Jun said.
How to kill, to what extent to kill, and how to deal with it in the end are all matters of knowledge.
We cannot send someone to show mercy when seeing that they are killing Han people, or to kill them all without regard for their own safety first and then talk about it later. That would obviously be a problem.
Therefore, one must be sensible.
This means that the generals who go there must be wise and not stupid.
Li Di thought about it and suddenly laughed: "Hanlong, who said that to lead an army into battle, one must be a military commander?"
"oh?"
Zhao Jun looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by 'restore the ancient ways'?"
"I think Xia Song is a good fit."
Li Di said calmly, "He was born a military officer and also served as a civil official. He has both civil and military skills. What do you think?"
"Oh, yes, then let's go with Xia Shuang."
Zhao Jun understood it instantly.
Apart from the fact that Xia Song was ruthless and fierce, he was also strategic and could understand what he said.
The most important thing is that Xia Song has now become Zhao Jun's lackey.
He has been the Minister of Finance for five years.
Since the Feng Shiyuan case broke out in the first year of the Qingli period, which led to the downfall of Cheng Lin, the Minister of Finance, Xia Song immediately seized the opportunity and defected to Zhao Jun.
Under normal circumstances, the earliest group of people in the Constitutional Council, except for Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan who were transferred from alternate vice-governors five years ago, the rest of the three prime ministers and three councilors at the time, including Lu Yijian, Wang Zeng, Song Shou, Cai Qi, Wang Sui, and Sheng Du, should have retired.
Wang Sui and Sheng Du have passed away due to illness. Therefore, in the second half of this year, Lü Yijian, Wang Zeng, Song Shou and Cai Qi will have to retreat to the second line, and may be given other idle positions such as Tai Shi, Tai Fu and Tai Bao.
