Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 3: Persuade (two in one)

"Shao Song ( to find the latest chapter!

The dynasty at the beginning of November was full of chicken feathers, ranking one of the nine secret princes, and it is very likely that the one with the most power and responsibility among the nine princes became the co-criminal directly from the main trial in the hall. It's jaw-dropping.

But at this time, Zhao Guan's family went away again after getting angry, leaving Beijing directly to inspect the river defense.

In this regard, some people think that this is because the officials deliberately avoided the trial of the case and avoided the imperial concubine's plea in order to reduce unnecessary trouble. However, some people said that this is the official implied that the Criminal Department should let go of its hands and feet and deal with it strictly and expeditiously. Meaning, there are still people who are a bit entangled with the issue of Imperial City Division and takeaway... But no matter what, the attitude of Zhao Guan's family leaving Beijing to patrol the river defense is uncompromising, even decisive.

I said it that day, and left the next day, without discussing it at all.

It must be known that there was a bit of snow intermittently a few days ago. Although there was no snow, it was still a bit muddy and would freeze sooner or later, which made the road conditions quite bad...but Zhao Guan's house was still on the road.

Not only that, the official on this trip didn't bring any more people at all. With a thousand soldiers and four or five entourages, he set off directly.

One thousand soldiers and horses, five hundred are the imperial squad straight, and five hundred are cavalry in the Yuetai camp.

Among the attachés, the highest rank is Liu Hongdao, the minister of war and the capital water supervisor, followed by Fan Zongyin, a Hanlin bachelor, Lu Benzhong, who has just been promoted to a direct bachelor degree, plus Ren Baozhong, who is a member of the court, and Yu Yunwen from the Military Statistics Department.

It's really desperate to leave.

And this pedestrian, after leaving Yuetai, went all the way along the Bianhe River to the northwest, but first arrived at Heyin, an important town on the river... This place is not only the location of Biankou, but also the shipyard of the imperial navy. It can only be said to patrol. He Fang is not bad from here.

Turning back to Heyin, Zhang Rong, the commander of the Yuying navy army, came to welcome him early. Zhao Guan's family also taught loyalty as before, put down the shelf and went directly to the shipyard with him. After entering the field, the officials pretended to inspect the ships under construction before leaving the dry dock to the barracks.

One more thing here, as early as the Shenzong dynasty, dry dock technology became famous all over the world through the successful repair of a huge ship in Jinmingchi, and then it was fully promoted.

As for the shipbuilding technology itself, whether it is a sea-going vessel or an inland watercraft, Da Song is basically regarded as the world's leading level. After all, in another time and space, Zhong Xiangyang's uprising lasted for five or six years. In the later period, even the Dongting Lake rebels could start large-scale production of ships of various sizes, which shows the maturity of related technologies.

So when it came to this situation, Xiao Wu Yun was burned at the beginning. Of course, Song Jun, who controlled the river defense, had no reason to give up these excellent water surface technologies.

However, according to the military report, after suffering several losses, the Jurchens also supported the Qingzhou pirates before. They collected relevant craftsmen in Hebei, which vaguely meant to use the old roads of the Yellow River to build their own docks and fleets.

Of course, this is not the time to discuss these things.

Zhao Guan’s family got out of the shipyard and transferred to the military camp integrated with the shipyard. It was inevitable that they would have to have a temporary snack at noon. They were rewarded with pigs and sheep bought from Zhengzhou in the south, from the imperial death to the shipyard’s craftsmen and civilians, including Zhao Guanjia himself, everyone has a bowl of meat and half a cup of wine.

In the afternoon, the official went to see the imperial navy-related winter fabrics that were distributed as early as last month. After turning around for a long time, he carefully checked for more than an hour, and then he took advantage of the warm winter sun in the afternoon. , Turned to the river, and then personally boarded the embankment, and then checked the embankment, fortifications, and river conditions.

It can only be said that the official has been working for a long time, and the pretentious kung fu is considered to be at home. I don't know, I think he really understands this.

"Zhang Dutong, this officer consulted the documents of the Ministry of War and said that there was an espionage that vaguely mentioned some words. It seems that the Jurchen also had a dry dock in the Daming Mansion? And they also want to build ships?" .

Moreover, as a senior official, Liu Hongdao’s entry into Beijing this time was obviously shorter than other officials in Xinjiang, and even suspected of being vacant. He was also a little bit distressed at first, just thinking of being able to enter the center, but also Being able to add a secret pavilion status, plus being closer to the hometown that hadn't been regained just a long time ago, only to endure it.

But this time, following the Zhao official’s family to this point, thinking about his two positions, Liu Hongdao didn’t know how, the official family obviously had some specific arrangements for him. The two responsibilities of the Minister of War and the Dushui Supervisor were combined. It may not be impossible to make merits, or even It is very likely that Zhao Guan's family is making some overall arrangements for the future Northern Expedition.

Therefore, after leaving Yuetai, this Liu Shilang was fascinated every day, and he took the initiative to deal with many common affairs along the way, making Fan Zongyin, Lu Benzhong, and Ninbaozhong seem to have eaten something... Lu Benzhong Simply degenerate into the role of reading the mansion newspaper every day.

"There is such a thing."

Zhang Rong wore an imperial cotton robe that he only started last month, and he stood there with his hands behind him when he heard the words. He opened his mouth and let out a white breath. "The Jurchen dog eats a bite and grows his wisdom, and he has placed the dock behind the Daming Mansion. It is really difficult to deal with. However, it is a good thing for me... to tell me straight that the Jurchen people use their heart to build ships."

"Oh?" Liu Hongdao became more serious.

"The reason is like this." Zhang Rong frowned and explained. "Shilang Liu thought, there is a ship coming out from the north, where can we get together such agile water fighters? The same archer, who shoots accurately on land, is not like that on a ship. There are also large and small ships. The maneuvering of the big ships, dozens of ships, hundreds of people on wheels, how to dispatch them, how to proceed in unison, big ships and small boats, the ship retreats and enters, it is all saying... The newly formed navy is definitely not me. Opponent!"

"What if there are many Jurchen boats? The official is from Qingzhou. Since childhood, I heard people say that when sea water bandits are fighting, no matter how familiar the sailors are, there are no more ships and larger ships..." Liu Hongdao was still serious.

"Liu Shilang relax." Zhang Rongwen still answered neatly. "The truth you said is extremely correct, but it is the sea, but here is the Yellow River. The sea is boundless and the waves are strong. If people don’t have a boat to rely on, where can they survive? It’s not because there are too many boats. There are few boats, but are the boats bigger than smaller ones? But as for the Yellow River, Sir Liu, look at it with your own eyes. It is so wide, and the mouth of the old road over there is not as wide as that. In this situation, the Jurchens are hoarding a nest of ships. After coming out, I am sure to rely on the Yuying Water Army to feed him on the river on behalf of the official's house."

Looking at the golden river, Liu Hongdao woke up early and nodded with the people around him.

On the contrary, Zhao Jiu also looked at the shimmering river in the afternoon sun, nodded, but continued to listen to the news in a serious manner: "No matter what, other than that? What problems does Zhang Dutong have? What? I came out this time just to put aside the skin and figure out some military incidents from all aspects...Some things seem to not affect the war at this time, but what about two years a year, three years and five years? As long as Zhang Qing has an idea, no matter what it is, just let it go."

"Don't tell the officials, I... The minister actually has some ideas. For example, even if I get used to it, I still feel the interest of the people along the river to make ice hard in winter." After listening carefully, Zhang Rong hurriedly hung his sleeves and earnestly. In contrast, I probably felt that the posture was a bit awkward, and after a few words, I actually let it go again. "Hundreds of miles and thousands of miles will be pounded, and it is usually daily pounding, but after many days of pounding, it may be cold one day or freezing overnight. Jurchen people can still come if they want to harass."

"This is also something that can't be helped."

Without waiting for Zhao Jiu to speak, Liu Hongdao immediately confronted him. This time he did not like to show it, because the ice-making in winter has always been a routine winter corvee in the name of governing the river. "According to the official, pounding ice and not pounding ice are not the same thing...If the ice layer is not pounding ice, the ice layer will thicken day by day, and the Jurchen can make proper preparations in advance, and after proper preparations, they can send the army directly. If the ice is smashed, the ice is suddenly thick, and the Jurchen can only take advantage of the opportunity to harass. Moreover, if the ice is smashed day by day, it can be frozen overnight. It can only be said that the few days are extremely cold, and under the cold, the female Real people are harassment, and they are not strong enough."

"I understand the truth naturally." Zhang Rong shook his head. "It's just that the people at the riverside have gotten a lot of servitude. In the big winter, even watching a few Cuju games less than others, it's also embarrassing..."

"The people are indeed working hard, but right now, where is the hard work from north to south?" Liu Hongdao didn't take it seriously when he heard this, and even got excited with some words. "Ice ice along the river and tax increases in the south. Bashu simply paid taxes in advance, which is almost equivalent to digging out the family’s property and hurting the inside... and if you talk about corvee, there are many corvee in the south. It’s been a little bit less since last year, that is, not talking about the south, but only talking about the north. Kansai has the heaviest military service, because the main battlefield of the war in recent years is in Kansai! Don’t you know Zhang Dutong, the former official? My family mobilized one hundred thousand corvettes in Hedong?!"

This was taken by surprise. Just when many people thought Zhang Rong was going to be irritated, the water bandit's Jidu Envoy was not at all angry. Instead, after listening carefully, he nodded his head earnestly: "Shilang Liu is justified, I only Looking at the things in front of me, I didn't expect it to be more difficult elsewhere."

Zhao Jiu was silent for a while, and then asked again: "I remember the ice pounding issue when I returned to Tokyo at the beginning. Is it because I have been crying for bitterness before, or are I crying for more bitterness? It's the whole lower reaches of the river. Are they all crying out, or are they inconsistent everywhere?"

Zhang Rong was a little stunned by the question. He bowed his head and thought for a long time before seriously answering: "The official question is really...that is, there are more and more people crying hard in the past few years, and how many people are crying hard along the river in Tokyo. Louder, Luoyang up, Shaoxing down, less."

"This is because the situation is getting better, and some people forget the **** of the golden man, so that they are gradually impatient to endure hardship." Lu Benzhong finally interjected.

But Zhao Jiu sighed in his heart, but there was no unnecessary reaction on his face, just nodding lightly:

"It's a bit of a meaning, but there is also the reason that Tokyo's economy has recovered and prices have risen, making the surrounding money and food become worthless. Especially in winter, the people along the river smash the ice every day, which delays the opportunity to go to the city to help in the city during the slack. Resent... However, pounding the ice must still be pounding. This is something that can't be helped. Moreover, once the Northern Expedition is completed, the matter will disappear... Of course, when it comes to this matter, I have a separate idea."

After that, Zhao Jiu glanced at Liu Yan. The latter understood. The princes also took the initiative to arrange the knives and ‘push’ some local officials and low-level navy officers who had been accompanying them back.

The ministers who stayed in front of Zhao official's house, Liu Hongdao and below, immediately stood upright, Zhang Rong was taken aback, and after seeing the reactions of the people on the left and right, he hurriedly crossed his hands.

"What I mean is that you can make some preparations in advance. If it suddenly freezes, you can do the opposite, cross the river and stabbing Jurchen, using offense as defense..." Zhao Jiu commanded. "Don't seek victory, don't seek capture, just seek to disturb the opponent, and then the whole class will return."

Hearing this, many people below Liu Hongdao were stunned, but immediately realized that Zhang Rong knew that Zhao Guan’s move was probably not for military seizures, but because Zhang Zongyan had just defeated the river crossing and wanted to boost it. Morale.

At this point, everyone agreed with Zhang and Liu.

And as expected, Zhao Guan’s family led a few people to discuss on the river bank. In the end, Liu Hongdao, the minister of war and the capital water supervisor, had the overall power to coordinate this action, but he was asked to contact the troops of the imperial camp in the center. Coordinate the choice of battlefields, and even have the power to reserve specific military materials.

The matter was so agreed, but Zhang Rong was caught off guard. In the next few days, the official Zhao’s house, who had clearly patrolled the river, had no intention of moving. He just sat withered in Heyin, and went all the way to Tokyo where Yang Zhengjue. In addition, the imperial concubine's uncle and Dali Temple Cheng were sent to the exile by the paper... This seems to be true to the statement that Zhao Guan's family is here to hide.

However, this view soon disappeared, because the Zhao Guanjia still remained motionless after they personally approved these judgments. In the winter, the official family, with a few nearby ministers and a thousand soldiers and horses, nestled in a barracks next to a shipyard?

It's really a nest, not even going to Zhengzhou which is dozens of miles away. The clerks tentatively invited the officials back to Luan and refused to agree, which caused many people to panic...

After all, it’s a thousand words and ten thousand, don’t look at the three major cases, who didn’t show any face, but the official’s trip to the northwest eventually destroyed Xixia, his concubines took Khitan and Mongolia, and regained many prefectures and counties. ?

His power is increasing, right?

Who is the ruler and who is the minister has not changed, right?

In this case, Zhao Guan's family is nestling like a tiger by the river which is only a hundred miles away from the capital. Who can sleep well?

And finally, with the unbelievable silence and waiting of the official, the first person who could not hold it finally appeared.

On November 11, a meaningless day, Zhang Rong and Zhang Dutong, who had been on a routine tour of Shaoxing downstream, couldn't bear it. He suddenly turned back in the evening and asked to see the official.

Although the official had already taken off his shoes and put on the kang, he still chose to summon him immediately.

"Officials, I don't want to hide from them. I really can't afford to be loyal, but if I think about it, if I don't tell the officials, I'm actually losing my loyalty, and there is still an infidelity..." Zhang Rongyi came in. He said something unbelievable.

And hearing this, Zhao Guan’s family, who was lying on the kang listening to Lu Benzhong’s Di Bao, just waved his hand, and the latter immediately understood and put down the Di Bao and went out with a few soldiers.

However, Zhao Jiu sat up at this moment, but still had no words. He just patted the empty seat on the Kang where Lu Benzhong was sitting just now, indicating that the head of Zhang, who had just entered the door, sit over. There was not much consternation throughout the whole process, as if I guessed that the other party had come back a long time ago.

"The official family really is like what You Xuexi said. I already knew it." Zhang Rong stepped aside and waited for Lu Benzhong to go out. He instinctively took a few steps forward, but he woke up halfway and stopped five or six steps in front of the Kang. , And then stepped in and sighed. "I knew I was ashamed, so I stopped going to sit, it's good to stand."

"I know, but I don't know." Zhao Jiu didn't embarrass the other party either, and probably knew the other party's temperament, so his words couldn't help being too frank. "I will tell you the truth, I am mainly waiting for someone in Heyin, not specifically for you..."

Zhang Rong was slightly taken aback.

"But on the first day I arrived here, I also knew that your big boss should have something to hide from me. Otherwise, with your arrogance, when you saw me, you would all be **** on the river embankment without even crocking your hips. Dare to cross? I must feel that I have made some mistakes!"

Zhao Jiu continued to smile, but while speaking, he turned and dragged a bamboo basket from the barracks on the head of the barracks. Under the lights, he turned out an unopened envelope and opened it face to face. "So, these days, I did let people examine the imperial navy carefully, and received a lot of relevant reports... the local officials around the naval strongholds and the commanding officers below you all have relevant documents... ...In addition, I also ask your son-in-law to lead people to conduct private investigations in various places in the army, to inquire officers, soldiers, soldiers with the army, and even surrounding military members and retired sergeants. There are all aspects...but these messages , I didn’t read them one by one directly, but asked your son-in-law to finish the reading alone, and then asked him to summarize it for me, waiting for when you will see me. Let’s compare...how, it’s Zhang Qing Speaking first, or shall I say it first?"

Zhang Rong was already stunned, but when he finally saw Zhao Guanjia take out his son-in-law's envelope, he was completely embarrassed, and he simply intervened and lowered his head to face each other: "It's no wonder my son-in-law didn't talk to me, so I even scolded him for nothing. , Said he was not useful... Forget it, let me talk about it first! Officials, my biggest mistake was that the vegetable demon cult was set up in the imperial water army! It was because of the brothers' loyalty, that I didn't have the heart to clean it up. Get out! This is my biggest mistake, and it's also a hurdle that I can't get past when I see officials these days!"

The Zhao Guan's house, who had just returned a light cloud, was stunned on the spot... Is it okay for the Liangshan hero to be infected by Mingjiao? Isn't this combat power going to burst?

However, this ridiculous thought only stopped for a moment. The next moment, the official hurriedly looked at Yu Yunwen’s return documents to the light. As expected, in the Di Bao-style summary report, he saw'One, the military. Contaminated with words such as Mingjiao...but they started to speak on the spot.

Besides, Zhao Jiu has been in power for five or six years, and the Caimojiao, or the Caimojiao, or the Mingjiao, the Manichaeism, etc....whatever his name is... it is already heard. Even out of curiosity, he understands something deeply, but the problem is that the deeper he understands, the more complicated his feelings towards this thing.

First of all, this thing has a long history. For hundreds of thousands of years, the religious logic inside has been perfected. It is no worse than those open sects, so it belongs to the kind of continuous reasoning, chaos, and incessant... even some Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. On the surface it is Buddhism and Taoism, but on the inside it is Mingjiao.

In a word, the vitality is extremely strong.

Secondly, the foundation of the masses is also very deep. This thing pays attention to a group of self-help. Like the Great Sage of Dongting Lake, it has the taste of basic insurance business. Maybe Dongting Lake is a variant of Mingjiao... Anyway, as long as the people need it. With spiritual support and grassroots economic mutual assistance, he can immediately emerge and become a large-scale one.

However, because the masses have a strong foundation, or they can organize and mobilize the masses, this leads to the third distinctive feature of Mingjiao—the hotbed of riots and uprisings.

Not to mention anything else, it is this Great Song Dynasty. The two biggest recent large-scale uprisings were a farmer and fisherman, a farmer and an urban handicraft, a Jingxiang, a southeast, a Zhongxiang, and a Fangla... In fact, they are exactly the same. A routine can only be said that Fang La is much more revolutionary than Zhong Xiang.

"I know that the imperial court banned the hunger strike." Zhang Rong was even more ashamed when he saw Zhao Guan's face change on the spot. "But when I found out, there were already hundreds of people, and it was a bit embarrassing...In addition, they were just vegetarians, and there was no delay in getting out of the boat, and I really couldn't bear to do anything!"

"Let's get out!" Zhao Jiu said, squeezing the letter.

"Don't you need to cut it all?" Zhang Rong was startled slightly.

"Dongting Lake didn't kill the soldiers. There are still people in the southeast who believe in this. How could they have been killed?" Zhao Jiu smiled bitterly. "Get out, you are not allowed to be a soldier! Break it up, get away! Moreover, this demon sect is just a specimen, not a prototype...whether it is the demon sect or the Buddhist path, the reason why so many people believe in it is that there is no sustenance in the heart, and the demon Religion is even more meaningful to small households who live in a poor life and lack clans. After all, it is the North that has suffered a chaos, and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism do not have the ability to do everything. They also told us that they were making ice on that day. Some are similar...but no matter what, you can't stay in the army, especially in the imperial army! I absolutely can't bear it!"

Zhang Rong didn’t understand these words, but he knew that officials would not kill people. He had lifted a stone in his heart, and his hand that had been on his hips also let go: "I have a good understanding of this matter. Since the officials are like this Renyi, I will clean up when I turn around, break them up, and resettle them to villages along the river. I will never allow them to link up again, nor let them enter the army again."

Zhao Jiu nodded, then shook his head again: "Although the Vegetable Demon Cult can't blame anyone for this matter, but then again, everywhere in the imperial camp, you alone are exposed here. It's not without reason...Zhang Qing, you speak of loyalty to the following, this is of course a good thing. Don’t talk about anything else, just say that the army’s salary and materials can be put in the hands of the people below as much as possible, and you will be able to overwhelm most of the handsome officials in the imperial camp. Being one, it is too protective for the people below, and it is also a problem. I have only seen the first thing about the Demon Cult of the Vegetable Eater, but I can guess that there will definitely be soldiers who will be squeezed out of the navy by the army below! Isn’t there a saying that soldiers will not board the ship with the army...?"

With that said, without waiting for Zhang Rong to cross his hands again to admit his mistake, Zhao Jiu looked down, but became irritable again, and then directly photographed Yu Yunwen’s report summary document on the case: "Zhang Qing, it said that it is not just the exclusion of the soldiers with the army. , Your loyalty also has a greater problem, but you treat officers and old brothers more, and others less, so that you don’t greedy the military salary and military resources, but the lower officers embezzle the military salary and military resources, so you don’t get bigger. Disposal...is righteousness used in this way?"

Zhang Rong is embarrassed: "I also know that since I became an imperial battalion, I should abide by the king's law, but they said that other imperial battalions are also like this, but the Pengju brothers are better... I... ...No matter what, the minister was indeed wrong and embarrassed the official again!"

"You are not embarrassing me!" Zhao Jiu shook his head. "It was I who made you embarrassed... I think you were a good guy in Liang Shanbo, who handled your own family affairs, but when the country was in crisis, you raised your entire army to fight against gold, and then took the whole Liang Shanbo to guard the Yellow River for me. These behaviors are I remember the true righteousness in my heart... and the Yuying navy has its own system, and everyone knows that if you can do this now, what else can I say?"

"What do you say?" Zhang Rong hurriedly stepped forward and waved his hand quickly. "In the past few years, even if we don’t count the ships in the docks outside, we also have to spend millions of dollars in the government’s money and food every year. Yes...Some things, I really don’t feel sorry for the officials!"

"Just from this point of view, you are not sorry for me. What you are sorry for are the people you have never met." Zhao Jiu also waved his hands on the couch. "Zhang Qing, the food you eat and the rates you use are taxes from those poor people that you haven't seen before. I'm just a big boss, so I'll take it and resell it! It's like you were in Liangshanpo, fishermen and Dongping. The people around the mansion give you food and fish, but you are just being a middleman, and you transfer hands to the brothers who are responsible for the charge and war... At Liangshanpo that day, it was not the people of Liangshanpo that supported you. Could it be that you, Zhang Rong alone, made the immortal law? Change things and raise so many people?"

Zhang Rong was completely stunned.

"What to talk to... Jurchens are tigers and wild wolves, so don't talk to them about benevolence and morality, just brighten your sword and your fist. If you are harder than him, he will naturally be softer than you!"

"It's also like your son-in-law who came out of scholars who talked about the righteousness of the family and the country, and the ruler and ministers. Then I told them that the two rivers have not been restored, that I have enemies and grievances...They have to work for me."

"There are also those military ministers who came out of the Western Army. They asked for a wife to be honored and honorable. Then I will give them a county king Jiedu envoy to do it... But there are two military officials who are different from others, one is You, Yue Fei, you two have different opinions."

"It's not loyalty, or it's not just loyalty. Of course I know your loyalty, but this time it's not... Back then, when I was in Yiyoumen Tuogu, I raised four handsome officials, and everyone present was wondering why you were a thief instead of Zhang Jun... At that time, I valued your loyalty, but not this time!"

"This time I put you and Yue Fei together and said these things to you because you two are generals and few of you know the people’s difficulties, and you are willing to think about things from the people! Qu Duan is in charge of the people’s livelihood in the northwest. , It’s not from the people, but he wants to maintain order... Only you and Yue Fei can I tell you the truth about the people, and only with you two, I dare to talk about the truth about the people.”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jiu was going to continue to chatter, but when Zhang Rong was there, he felt a little bit distracted, so he stopped the words directly, then got up and picked up the summary report document from Yu Yunwen, and walked over barefooted Kang. , Squeezed directly into Zhang Rong's arms, who was still in a daze:

"I didn't look at it, you take it back and find your Yuxueshu... Whether it is Youxuexu or Secretary You, let him tell you! If it doesn't work, I will pull your son-in-law over and let him, the original author, tell you!

Zhang Rong did not know how to act like other ministers who knew each other and was grateful. He just grabbed the document written by his son-in-law, swiped at the official Zhao's house, and then bowed his head and walked out.

However, when approaching the Yingmen, the Liangshan hero who almost saved the Song Dynasty Guo Zuo in history in a dangerous time turned his head and asked seriously:

"Officials! As an official, do you know the difficulties of the common people?"

Zhao Jiu was taken aback for a moment, and then his nose was sore, but after all he held back, he just chuckled: "How many times have I seen when I was driven around by the Jurchens..."

Zhang Rong nodded, and just about to leave, he still couldn't hold back. He turned around and asked again: "Officials, I had a small vision before. I only looked at the people in Liangshanpo. I didn't think about the South and Guanxi, let alone. Who gave Qianliang the truth... I was trained by Shilang Liu that day, and today I was trained by the officials, and they were all convinced... But after I was convinced, I still want to ask more, when, then, the people in the world Can there be fewer difficulties?"

Zhao Jiu was taken aback, but did not reply.

"Did you destroy Jurchen?" Zhang Rong couldn't help asking.

"It will definitely be better if Jurchen is destroyed." Zhao Jiu nodded to each other.

"Yes." Zhang Rong also nodded, as if to relax a little, but finally turned around and went out.

And Zhang Rong went out without mentioning, Zhao Jiu stood barefoot on the ground, froze for a long time, only then followed the soldiers outside to go back to the Kang, and then fell on his back.

Moreover, this official knew in his heart that this time to put pressure on, after all, Zhang Rong, a semi-independent unit, successfully picked up a lot~www.wuxiaspot.com~ From the perspective of the emperor, it is undoubtedly a Great victory... After all, what Manichaeism or caring for old brothers do not forget one premise, that is, this army was originally a peasant army formed by Zhang Rong, and it has its own internal system. This army has always been Zhang has more surnames.

As for the calculation of his private interests between the official and Zhang Rong, there is no difference... Although Zhao Jiu has the name of the emperor, he can hold the banner of anti-golden justice, but Zhang Rong is no matter how he shrinks his head. After Tan Dajie took the initiative to move the whole army through Tokyo to defend the river for the country, it was enough to be worthy of him, Zhao Jiu.

But that being said, Zhao Guan’s family, who was considered a big victory today, was lying on the kang, thinking of the fundamental reason for the rise of Manichaeism, the impact of the success or failure of the Northern Expedition, the financial and military expenditures, the military expansion plan that was slightly in his heart, and the economy around the capital The recovery caused prices to rise gradually, so that the surrounding soldiers and soldiers' salaries depreciated in disguise, the military spirit was slightly discouraged, and the people's spirits were a little disappointed... But it was still mixed.

Fortunately, when I think of the empty cities that I saw along the way from Nanyang back to Tokyo, those who saw broken limbs, broken flesh, and rotting bodies at the foot of Yinshan Mountain from Yanling to Yaoshan, how much earlier they should have been. The chaotic thoughts that had been suppressed since the beginning of the year were pressed again.

On the next day, Zhao Guan’s family stayed asleep until noon before getting up. When he heard that Zhang Rong began to expel officers and soldiers from Heyin on a large scale, and pursued property, his mood was somewhat relieved. However, what made him feel better is another news... That is to say, in the afternoon of this day, a team of imperial naval forces who routinely patrol the river docked early and brought the objects of Zhao Guan's house that had been waiting for many days.

Wang Yan, the imperial capital who crossed the river from Shanzhou, finally brought back Ma Kuan, the governor of the North Road.
