In this year and month of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were no mines, no missiles, but there were iron anchors.
The officers and soldiers discovered that ten ships had problems at the same time, and it was obvious that someone had moved their hands and feet on the bottom of the ship.
They dropped their dead hands, threw the chain-linked anchor into the bottom of the river, and scratched aimlessly.
This trick looked like finding a needle in a haystack, but it was actually very practical, which caused great trouble to Li Jun and others.
Even if their water is very good, they are not as easy to move on land as they are. Besides, they are washed away by the river before entering the water, and they are all tied with ropes.
Wu Song was anxious and pulled the rope back with all his strength.
It's a pity that Zhang Shun, the white stripe in the waves, and Ruan Xiaoqi, the living Yan Luo, were very unlucky. Their rope was cut by an anchor and no one was found.
Fortunately, those imperial boats were quickly filled with water, and the officers and soldiers were completely messed up, and they could no longer operate the anchors. The remaining Li Jun and others were successfully rescued by Wu Song.
Li Jun breathed heavily and said, "Zhang Shun and Xiaoqi brothers are very watery. They should have been washed downstream by the river. Let's look for them."
Wu Song nodded in agreement, but was stopped by Wu Gang.
Wu Gang saved the life of Wuhan University last time in Sandaokou. Six famous generals were lost in the battle of Wufu. However, Wu Gang was lucky to survive and was reused by Wuhan University.
He doesn't speak much at ordinary times, and has a calm temper.
"Commander, we have too many people, too big goals, and inconvenience to move. You take all the heroes back to Yanggu first, and I will take people to find the two heroes Zhang Shun."
After a brief discussion, they finally agreed to Wu Gang's approach. Wu Song took Liangshan and two generals back home first, while Wu Gang took eight generals, turned on their horses, and went downstream to find Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoqi.
…
From culling the Seven Star Alliance to destroying Hua Shi Gang, this is a series of tactics of Wuhan University.
However, the story has developed to this point and is far from over.
This time, Wuhan University sold a great favor from Tong's family. He notified Tong Ying in advance, and explained very vaguely that there was a problem with the Hua Shi Gang meeting. Tong Ying is also a one-pointed temperament, and he asked Wu Da a few words in general. Fei Ge passed on to the general Tong Guantong in the northwest.
General Tong Da, a powerful minister who has been in charge of the ruling and opposition for decades, does not need Wu Dao to say, he understands that this is a good opportunity to attack Cai Mansion.
However, in recent years, he has rarely intervened in the affairs of the court. It is unwise to develop military power and launch it without authorization.
I am afraid that not only can it not suppress Cai Jing, but it will arouse the emperor's vigilance.
No matter who is sitting on that dragon chair, no matter how faint he is, with such strange things as the "Emperor", as long as he stays in that position for a long time, there will always be some subtle changes in his mentality.
For example, Song Huizong.
The throne of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong was extremely strange. The throne was originally not his, but his brother Song Zhezong, but in the first month of 1100 AD, Song Zhezong suddenly "died".
Moreover, Song Zhezong had no children.
In desperation, the empress dowager "Xiang" at that time facilitated the establishment of Zhao Ji as emperor in the same month, known as Song Huizong in history, and renamed "Jianzhong Jingguo" the following year.
The throne of Song Huizong was slightly wrong. Many ministers in the court had a lot of criticism about this. In desperation, Song Huizong used Cai Jing, Gao Li, Wang Wei, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Wang Boyan, and Zhu Mi. , Li Yan and other treacherous officials.
After these treacherous officials came to power, they vigorously suppressed those loyal and good people, and soon confirmed the status of Emperor Huizong's unprovoked emperor.
Song Huizong was very proud, but the problem also came.
When his throne was firmly established, the influence of these treacherous officials in the court became extremely large, especially Cai Jing and Tong Guan. These two men were able to control the trend of the court completely. This made Song Huizong very much. headache.
In addition, at the beginning, Cai Jing and Tong Guan had a very close relationship and were embarrassed. Later, Song Huizong's clever tricks gradually separated the two.
Today, the pattern of the court is that Tong Guan is in charge of the military and Cai Jing is in charge of the civil servants. The two are in the same situation, and they have reached an endless place.
In this way, Song Huizong reluctantly relieved a little bit. He did not favor any side, and he would never sit back and watch one side dominate, maintaining this balance very delicately.
The old fox Tong Guan knew this very well, so he didn't write a letter to impeach Cai Jing without authorization, but quietly passed the fact that Hua Shi Gang had a problem to Liang Shou Dao in Bian Jing.
Liang Shoudao was quite favored by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, and he was called the "hidden phase" from the official to the prosecutor Taifu.
The most important thing is that although Liang Shoudao is a civil official, he has always been at odds with Cai Jing, and it can be considered that he belongs to the Tongguan family.
Liang Shoudao received the news and immediately set about arranging for his protégé protégé to impeach Cai Jing's corruption and pervert the law, and pour the Hua Shi Gang taxes that should have been attributed to the national treasury to his own pocket.
This kind of painless and itchy impeachment of the supervisor is of little significance to officials such as Cai Jing. There are too many interest groups behind him, which affect the whole body, without Cai Jing speaking. He is a member of the Cai Mansion. The supervisor began to talk with those Liang Shoudao.
A good court, for several days, it has completely turned into a vegetable market, and the stars fly wildly.
Cai Jing was puzzled at first. He couldn't figure out what Liang Shoudao wanted to do. This kind of impeachment without real evidence is really not worth mentioning.
However, when the news that Hua Shi Gang sank to the bottom of the river and stranded entered the capital, Cai Jing's expression finally changed.
When the ship sinks, it naturally needs to be salvaged, but salvage requires the use of military personnel, and in the military, there are too many childlike confidants.
When the military salvaged the ten ships, and compared with the number of strange stones on the ships, it was natural to infer how much money Cai Jing had corrupted over the years.
In this way, Tong Guan and Liang Shoudao will surely be able to capture many officials that Cai Jing used to buy with money.
In fact, the ministers in the court, including Song Huizong, knew all these things, but they didn't make any announcements on weekdays.
But if this matter is really settled into an iron case and it is put on the bright side, it will be indignation among the officials and public grievances, and Song Huizong is bound to take the Cai Mansion power.
This is absolutely unacceptable to Cai Jing, and it is absolutely not allowed by Song Huizong. Even though Song Huizong hopes to kill the two old thieves, Cai Jing and Tong Guan, and then quickly, what he wants is to boil the frog in warm water. Ring slowly took them down, but definitely not so much fanfare.
If Tong Guan succeeds, there will be a great chaos in the court, and Song Huizong will never allow Tong Guan to dominate.
In the end, Song Huizong was furious, each hitting 20 boards, and severely reprimanded Cai Jing, an old teacher who was already aging, and the matter was over.
However, Cai Jing was reprimanded in court for the first time in so many years. This time Cai Jing's somersault was so great that he had no face, and he did not dare to refute it.
After retiring from the court, Song Huizong rubbed his head and asked Li Yan with a headache:
"Go and find out what the funny little guy Wu Zhi is doing recently. I always feel that the matter of Hua Shi Gang has nothing to do with him."
