Come to Song Dynasty with the system

Chapter 563 On the Rewards for Deeds

"Since the great ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty, what is the most feared thing, you will not be unclear."

"Emphasis on literature and suppression of martial arts, this has also been done since the time of Taizu, this is the ancestor's instruction."

"It's fine to say that you don't have confidence, but this is one of the iron laws of the Song Dynasty. If you want to use it, you must guard against it."

"Once the role of generals is too obvious in a big battle, it will not help them, but harm them."

"In any war, victory is due to civil servants, and military commanders are responsible for defeat. This is also a habit that has been formed over the years. No one can change it, let alone surpass it. Otherwise, it is provoking the authority of the officials and the entire society. Court."

"If you really do this, then no matter who it is, it will not end well."

It was rare for Bao Heizi to say a lot, and he also said things so straightforwardly that Su Shi frowned after hearing it.

"Okay, Wang Deyong can't be held accountable, but he didn't give him too much credit. If it were replaced by someone else, I'm afraid most of the honor of this big victory will rest on his head. If it is true In this way, the merits of other generals will be weakened, and it is not impossible that even meritorious service will become reactive."

Bao Heizi said this more thoroughly.

It means that this time he is here, if it is someone else, there is no room for negotiation.

"Forget it, forget it, it's up to you to make troubles, anyway, my black cavalry doesn't need to be written in the credit book, and they don't need any rewards from the court." Su Shi was a little displeased and impatient, so he simply waved his hand , let Bao Heizi do it according to his own wishes.

As soon as he mentioned the black knights, Bao Zheng's face instantly became as deep as water, "What do you plan to do with these black knights? If you don't list them in the imperial army, you are tantamount to raising your own army. This matter impeaches you, I am afraid that no one can protect you."

"I'm rich, so I can support the Black Knights myself?" Su Shi's voice suddenly raised three points and asked back.

"Of course not." Bao Heizi said without a word.

"If you have money, you can hire more people to serve you, and you can even buy land and property, and no one will care about you. But you can't raise an army. The army can only be used by the imperial court, and the army can only be used by the Song Dynasty. .”

"Anyone else who dares to support the army privately is suspected of rebellion, and everyone has to punish him."

What Bao Heizi said was extremely firm, then he looked at Su Shi, and said earnestly: "Otherwise, you put the black cavalry under the army of the northern border. Of course, you are now a loyal general appointed by the imperial court. They can Follow yours. But after the war is over, these troops must be returned to the imperial court."

"Otherwise, you should disband the black knights now, and let them completely disappear from everyone's sight."

Bao Zheng opened his mouth and gave two choices.

Obviously, Bao Zheng really thought about Su Shi when it came to the matter of the black cavalry.

It is impossible to disband the black cavalry, nor is it possible to hand them over to the court.

Otherwise, once such a good army is handed over to the imperial court and the mediocre hands, it may not be long before the black cavalry will no longer form an army, nor will it have the current combat effectiveness.

Besides, Heiqi was used to eating and drinking well, so no one except Su Shi would be able to afford it.

Only when such an army is in the hands of Su Shi can they exert their greatest combat effectiveness and their strongest strength.

"Okay, they will follow me first, and they will be assigned to the People's Army. They have no establishment anyway." After thinking for a while, Su Shi replied like this, but he was thinking in his heart, later, until the end of the war When the time, trying to find a way to make them disappear is.

Bao Zheng only touched on the matter of black cavalry. He believed that Su Shi was a smart person and should know how to do it.

What he was worried about was that Su Shi was too young, and he was used to doing things smoothly, so he would become arrogant and conceited. If so, he would fall into trouble.

In this Northern War, Su Shi has already revealed his talent for commanding troops. It is a blessing to have such a person in the Song Dynasty.What Bao Zheng needs to do is to protect such a person so that he can grow up and not be harmed by villains.

After talking about the black knight, Bao Zheng asked how to report the matter to the court about Wang Miao.

Wang Miao is the general in command of Longwuwei, and also the martial master of His Royal Highness King Jing. It can be said that his position is very important.Considering the close relationship between Su Shi and King Jing, Bao Zheng naturally wanted to listen to his opinion on this matter.

"Wang Miao, it's just a waste, just report it truthfully. By the way, isn't there no one to pay for some of Wang Xin's mistakes? Just leave it to him." After thinking about it, Su Shi put forward his own opinion.

When meeting Wang Miao for the first time, Su Shi had a good impression of him, and because of Zhao Xi, he regarded Wang Miao as one of his own.

But this time the battle in the northern border made Su Shi see clearly that this person not only did not agree with him, but also had a very serious heart to guard against him.On the battlefield, he only knew how to preserve his strength, but he didn't see any real military achievements.

Such a mediocre person, once he is really allowed to grasp the power, it will definitely not be a good thing for Da Song.For a long-term plan, Su Shi thought of cleaning up the opponent before he became big.

As for what Zhao Xi will think, I will explain it when Su Shi returns to Bianliang.

"Yes." Bao Zheng had already decided on the matter of Heiqi and Wang Deyong privately, and was thinking about how to make up for Su Shi, so now he would naturally give priority to the other party's opinion.

After talking about the most difficult thing, the next thing to talk about is the military merits of each army. On this issue, Bao Heizi fully respected Su Shi's opinion, and he almost reported it as he said.

The two chatted for more than an hour, until Lou Yang came in outside the door and said that dinner was about to be served, and the two stopped.

"The sky is big and the earth is big, and the belly is the biggest. I have long heard that the food here is the best in Sushi, haha, I am lucky." Bao Zheng said with a big laugh.

"Uncle Bao, don't worry, the food is guaranteed to satisfy you. Lou Yang, bring the food here, and I'm preparing some Maotai."

Since the opening of the supermarket system, Su Shi has more wines to choose from. Now he no longer drinks Shaodaozi and has changed to Moutai.

"Yes, sir. It's just..."

Lou Yang's hesitant appearance fell into Su Shi's eyes, which made him very puzzled.After capturing the Liao army camp, Su Shi exchanged a lot of good things and put them in the grain depot. Could it be that there is no wine?

It shouldn't be, no one here is bold enough to take their own things.

"Young Master, General Wang Xin is asking for an audience outside. He wants to take back the original [-] captive soldiers." Lou Yang hesitated for a while, and after seeing Su Shi's questioning gaze, he explained the matter again.

When Wang Xin relieved the siege of Xincheng and rescued Wang Deyong when he left, he only had time to take Wang Deyong and Wang Miao's four thousand dragon guards away because of the rush. [-] Song troops who hadn't had time to escape.

Later, Yang Wenguang, Di Qing and others came so fast that the Liao army did not have time to take away the [-] captive soldiers. When the army began to search the barracks, they were found and these people were rescued.Now that Wang Xin came to ask for someone, it was what should be done.

It's just because Wang Xin didn't come to help Shigu Mountain before, and when he came later, the war was over.

Without an inch of merit, Wang Xin felt a little shameless when he opened his mouth to demand someone.

But as the former commander of Hebei Road, he had to do so.Otherwise, I am afraid that everyone will not be convinced by him in the future.

Although Wang Xin's ability has been questioned by some people during this great battle, but only a few people discussed it in private. With his many years of military exploits and qualifications, no one dared to say anything publicly.

"People have to pay him back, otherwise it's inevitable that someone will take advantage of it when it's passed back to the capital." Bao Zheng stood beside Su Shi and said.

"Oh, Uncle Bao is also afraid of those officials?" Su Shi chuckled.

"It's not that I'm afraid, it's that if we can do something less, we can do less. Our officials are too soft-hearted, we're not in the capital, so don't leave any excuses for others to criticize." Bao Heizi shook his head, refusing to admit it.

Su Shi just smiled, he knew that Bao Zheng already had a certain dislike for those ministers in the court.

Su Shi also believes that as time goes by, this annoyance will become more and more intense, and one day, he will firmly stand on his side, willing to contribute to the reform of Song Dynasty.

"Okay, since Uncle Bao has opened his mouth, I will give it to him. Well, the east of the northern border is still safe now, and the foreign race has no intention of invading, so let him go back there." Su Shi smiled. Open the mouth at will.

This time Wang Xin's performance disappointed Su Shi.

I thought that as a member of the generals, they should stand up and resist when they know that the civil servants are oppressing them.

I never thought that Wang Xin had gotten used to it. At critical moments, what he wanted was not to save himself who could change the situation on the battlefield, but to save a civil servant.

If there is no flattering intention in this, Su Shi would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.

Perhaps, Wang Xin thought that he was able to save Wang Deyong, which meant that he had made a great contribution. If someone in the court really impeached him, someone would speak for him.Unexpectedly, Wang Deyong was a white-eyed wolf, and he was forgotten after he was safe.

At this moment, I don't know if Wang Xin has regretted it.

But no matter what he thinks now, Su Shi will not give any trust to such a general who is willing to flatter civil servants, let alone let him stay under his eyes, it will only make him feel bad , which will affect his command of the army to fight.

Su Shi opened his mouth, considering that on the current battlefield, no one can do without Su Shi as the real commander, Bao Zheng nodded and agreed. "Okay, I'll do as you said."

Bao Zheng talked about these without any pressure, Wang Xin was just a warrior, even if he was the commander of the Hebei Route Army, a warrior is still a warrior.

He won't be looked down upon by civil servants just because he has great power.

This is the overall opinion of civil servants on generals in this era, emphasizing literature and restraining military is not just for fun.

Even a fair person like Bao Zheng is not exempt.
