After successfully summoning Fang Xuanling, Li Xiang was in a good mood. However, Li Xiang still has to make a political call next. The next few years will be the last time for Li Xiang to develop steadily, so he must seize the opportunity.
"The system, with the same 100 summoning points, will continue to conduct a political summons for me."
"Ding, the first person is Kou Zhun of the Northern Song Dynasty, with 80 points in command, 56 points in force, 92 points in intelligence, and 97 points in politics."
Kou Zhun was an upright man, and because of his repeated admonitions, he was gradually reused by the emperor. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, officials came to participate in political affairs. After Zhenzong came to the throne, Kou Zhun successively served in the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of War, and as the third envoy. In the first year of Jingde, he served as prime minister together with Bi Shi'an, the political minister.
In the winter of that year, the Khitan went south to invade the Song Dynasty and surrounded Yingzhou and other Hebei areas. The government and the public were shocked. Kou Zhun strongly advocated the Zhenzong's personal expedition and opposed the southward migration. After Zhenzong arrived in Chanzhou, the morale of the army gradually stabilized, and he later shot Ta Lan, the vanguard of the Liao army, and concluded the "Chanyuan Alliance".
"Ding, the second person is Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty, commander 48, force 48, intelligence 90, politics 96."
Sima Guangnai was a politician, historian, and writer of the Northern Song Dynasty. He was a gentle, courteous, and upright man. He adopted a policy of land cession and tolerance towards Xixia and Liao Kingdoms, and wrote in "Shangzhe Zong Begging to Return the Six Villages of Xixia". His personality can be called a model under the influence of Confucianism.
During the Shenzong period of the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang left the court for fifteen years because he opposed Wang Anshi's reform. During this period, he presided over the compilation of the first chronological general history in Chinese history, Zizhi Tongjian.
In fact, compared to Sima Guang, Li Xiang still prefers his old rival Wang Anshi. Unfortunately, in this summons, the famous Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty who strived for reform did not appear.
Moreover, Li Xiang seriously doubted whether Sima Guang could really reach the political level of 96. Could this be a bonus for him to bring down his political enemy Wang Anshi? ? ?
Compared with Wang Anshi's reforms, efforts to develop production, enrich the country and strengthen the army, and save the political crisis of the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang's thoughts were simply too conservative.
Sima Guang was even more dissatisfied with Wang Anshi's refusal to implement the new law without choosing the advantages and disadvantages. He also returned the land that the soldiers during the Shenzong Dynasty had taken with their lives to Xixia for free. As a result, in the future, when the old and new parties fought, it became a struggle for ambition and power, and no longer focused on the operation of state affairs.
"Ding, the third person is Li Gang during the two Song dynasties. He has 72 in command, 46 in force, 88 in intelligence, and 96 in politics."
Li Gang was a famous anti-Jin official in the late Northern Song Dynasty and early Southern Song Dynasty. In the first year of Jingkang, when the Jin soldiers invaded Bianjing, Li Gang served as the envoy guarding the four walls of the capital, uniting the army and the people and repelling the Jin soldiers. But he was soon rejected by the capitulationists.
When Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, Li Gang was once appointed as the prime minister. He tried to reform internal affairs, but was dismissed after only seventy-seven days. After that, he resumed his role as the Xuanfu envoy of Hunan and also knew Tanzhou, but soon he stopped. After many attempts to make plans to resist the Jin Dynasty, Chen's plan was not adopted, and he died of depression.
"Ding, the fourth person, Fan Zhongyan of the Northern Song Dynasty, has 88 commander, 68 force, 89 intelligence, and 96 politics."
When mentioning Fan Zhongyan, many people may immediately think of his literary achievements, especially his sentence "worry before the world's worries, and rejoice after the world's happiness", which has been passed down through the ages.
But compared to literature, Fan Zhongyan's political ability is not bad at all. Not only in politics, but also in military affairs, he has made great achievements. He can be said to be capable of both civil and military affairs.
When Fan Zhongyan took office in Taizhou, he recruited more than 40,000 people and rebuilt the sea-defending weir. This not only ensured the people's livelihood, farming and salt production at that time, but also played an important role in "defending and preventing disasters" in later generations.
After Fan Zhongyan came to Suzhou, based on the water properties and geographical environment, he proposed a water control plan to dredge the five rivers between Kunshan and Changshu and divert the accumulated water into Taihu Lake and into the sea. Fan Zhongyan's water control scriptures and paintings based on "building sieges, dredging rivers, and installing gates" not only won praise from the public at that time, but also inspired later generations. From the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan and Ming dynasties, the two Zhejiang provinces followed this model to control floods. .
Moreover, in response to the current situation of internal troubles (a large bureaucracy but low administrative efficiency) and foreign troubles (Liao and Xixia threatening the northern and northwest frontiers), Fan Zhongyan wrote "Ten Matters in Answer to the Imperial Edict", proposed ten reform programs, and started the Qingli New Deal. , advocated clarification of official administration, reform of imperial examinations, refurbishment of military equipment, reduction of corvee service, development of agricultural production, etc. The content involves various aspects and fields such as politics, economy, military, education, and imperial examinations.
Although Qingli's New Deal ended in failure, it also shows Fan Zhongyan's political ability.
"Ding, the fifth person, Pang Ji from the Northern Song Dynasty, has 82 points in command, 49 points in force, 87 points in intelligence, and 96 points in politics."
Like Su Lie and Su Dingfang, Pang Ji has also been seriously blackened, so much so that whenever Pang Taishi in "Bao Qingtian" is mentioned, he will be thought of, while Pang Ji's original brilliance will be ignored.
Pang Ji not only made good friends with Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan and others, but also supported Sima Guang, Di Qing and others.
When Pang Ji was guarding the border, he sent his general Di Qing to lead more than 10,000 people to build Zhao'an Village next to Qiaozi Valley. He recruited people to farm many times and used the harvested grain for military supplies. Zhou Mei was sent to attack Taiping Village in a sneak attack, while Wang Xin built Long'an Village, recovered all the lost land, and built eleven cities.
"System, get rid of Sima Guang and Li Gang."
First of all, Kou Zhun, who has the highest political ability, must naturally be retained. Among the remaining four, Li Xiang finally chose to keep Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji.
Compared with Li Gang and Sima Guang, Fan Zhongyan and Pang Ji not only have outstanding political abilities, but also have certain military abilities. Obviously, it will be more profitable to choose to retain these two people.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the Pang status of the Northern Song Dynasty. The commander is 82, the force is 49, the intelligence is 87, and the politics is 96. The implanted identity is a descendant of the Pang family in Jingzhou. He is one of the talents recruited by the host from Luoyang this time. He is now serving as a civil servant in the host army. Official."
"Children of Jingzhou Pang family." Li Xiang murmured to himself.
This identity is not simple among the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty. With the identity of Pang's son, he might be able to make plans for Jingzhou in the future.
However, this is a bit far away. In the strategic plan of Li Xiang and Wang Meng, taking action against Jingzhou is still far away. It will be unthinkable for at least ten years.
"System, continue summoning. Use 100 summoning points to summon a fierce general." Li Xiang continued.
There is a high probability that there will be no wars in the past few years. Li Xiang will naturally continue to summon. At this time, he is least worried about balance.
After two summonses, it was clear that Li Xiang's political talent was sufficient. Don't forget, Li Xiang also kidnapped Xun Yu from Luoyang.
The reason why we need to summon strong generals is because there are still a few strong generals under Li Xiang who have reached the peerless stage. We can't rely on Xing Tian and Jiang Song for every role.
