Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhang Chunming said: "The king of Jin promised to fight for you in the court, and His Majesty will definitely be very interested in the conditions proposed by your country."

Sun Fu said, "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, he left, and Zhang Chunming's voice came from behind: "If you want the Song Xia alliance, Da Song must prove that he can defend the next Jin army's attack."

What Zhang Chunming said is right, there are only interests between countries.

Xixia and Great Song are feuds at first, Xixia naturally understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, and will not rashly believe Jin Guo's promise.

But it would not be easy to agree to an alliance with the Song Dynasty. After all, the current situation is that the Kingdom of Jin is absolutely crushing the Song Dynasty.

If the alliance is rash and the Great Song Dynasty is destroyed, wouldn't the so-called green and white salt trade initiative be in the hands of the Kingdom of Jin?

So, offending Jin Guo, how can there be good fruit to eat?

This is the game between countries.

The Great Song Dynasty must have defended the next Jin army's attack, so that Xixia can see that the Song Dynasty will not be wiped out immediately, and they will agree to cooperate.

It can also be seen from this point that in the disputes among nations, only self-improvement can have confidence at the negotiating table.

Just when Sun Fu went to Xixia, Zhao Ning's business of harvesting leeks had begun to bear fruit.

Chapter 105 Isn't it just to make money? I still have ten thousand ways that I haven't used

August already has the feeling of autumn. From Shaanxi on the west line to Cangzhou on the east line, the autumn winds have dyed the poplars yellow.

Whether it is Shaanxi or Hebei, they are still shrouded in the desolation of war.

It is no secret that the Jin army went south in November.

The mobilization order issued from the city of Tokyo was quickly passed on to the north of the Yellow River.

All state capitals thousands of miles from east to west have been notified, and all state capitals have entered a wartime state.

Although the mobilization system in this era is very weak, all regions have been affected to a certain extent.

Coupled with the fact that the supreme commander on the eastern, central and western fronts is already in place, the long-sleeping war machine of the Great Song Dynasty began to operate slowly amidst arguments and quarrels.

The young man at the head of the village put on the clothes his old mother sewed and mended, carried dry food on his back, and left the village where he had lived for more than ten or twenty years.

They are about to enter the army.

I heard that all those who enlisted in Cizhou and Damingfu were paid salaries.

And for those who died in battle, there is a thirty-percent pension.

In this era when human lives are worthless, thirty strings is already an astronomical figure for the common people in Hebei and Hedong.

Some people are willing to sell their lives for the sake of their children or parents.

Countless people gathered from the village to the military town under construction to join this unprecedented scale of defense.

time is life.

Especially the defense lines of Hebei and Hedong are facing the endless plains, which is also the front line of the capital. After a few months, it will definitely be the place where the Jin army will focus on attacking.

When Ouyang Che arrived, "Hebei Zhanshi Daily" was quickly established in Daming Mansion.

There were 300 Tai students who went with him.

In the first year of Jingkang, these Tai students all wrote to ask for the execution of Tong Guan and others. Later, when Li Gang was dismissed, they wrote to ask for reuse of Li Gang.

Even Song Qinzong Zhao Huan sent officials out of the city to negotiate a peace, and they also participated in the siege and beating of officials who surrendered.

This is nothing new in the late Northern Song Dynasty.

When the Jin army went south for the first time, the imperial court sent officials to go north, and those officials who negotiated peace were scolded wherever they went, and some people were even beaten to death halfway.

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism was not favored in the Southern Song Dynasty, and was always rejected and suppressed. Until the Ming Dynasty was promoted to orthodoxy, scholars could only read the Four Books and Five Classics, and did not care about state affairs.

But the Song Dynasty was different. Confucianism in the Song Dynasty was still very healthy. Before the Jingkang shame happened, the ideology of the Song Dynasty was considered very healthy.

Active scientific and technological construction, commercial trade, and the bloody spirit of the people at the bottom are actually still there.

The only ones who cheated the country were the emperors of the Zhao family.

As soon as the Tai students arrived in Damingfu, they began to use newspapers to promote war ideas.

According to the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, even the dilapidated walls at the head of the village were written with the words "Fight against gold thieves, guard the homeland".

He also wrote "His Majesty's Letter".

The literate people in the village shouted loudly at the head of the village: fight against gold thieves and guard their homes.

For the first time, the people at the bottom heard voices from the Imperial Palace of the capital.

Although this voice is still very weak, and only a few words appear on some dilapidated walls, it indicates that Zhao Ning is using the most direct and simple way to break through layers of obstacles and rebuild the Song Dynasty. mobilization system.

The "Tokyo Daily" in Tokyo City was an attempt, and the "Hebei Wartime Daily" in Daming Prefecture was a breakthrough.

Of course, if you want to quickly mobilize more people and speed up the establishment of a defense line, you need not only "newspapers" as a tool for ideological propaganda, but more practically, money.

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

On August [-], Zhang Jun reported the overall situation of the troops and horses in various military towns in Shaanxi in the memorial sent from Jingzhao Mansion (Chang'an) to the capital.

The towns in Shaanxi have mobilized 25 soldiers and civilians, claiming 50.

But lack of money, lack of armor.

The [-] sets of armor issued before were not enough for recruits to join the army.

On August [-]th, according to the memorial sent from Daming Mansion, Longde Mansion had garrisoned [-] troops, Cizhou garrisoned [-] troops, and Daming Mansion had garrisoned [-] troops.

These are regular troops recruited into the army, plus the military and civilians in logistics, the total number exceeds 30.

Fortunately, Zongze is the center line of the battle. At present, only he can summon so many people on the center line at such a fast speed, and the various places are properly arranged.

But there is also a problem. As soon as the 500 million Guan entered Hebei, it began to flow out like a torrent of water.

Zhang Shuye said in the memorandum that in order to quickly build the city wall, various places in Hebei and Hedong were using cash to boost morale.

This is a helpless matter, and the time left for Da Song to prepare is too short.

The three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan were all lost, and the defense line was penetrated. To build a defense line within a few months, only the most crude and simple methods can be used.

As for Li Gang's arrival in Cangzhou, Hebei East Road and Jingdong East Road, which had no leader, also began to tell each other.

The people finally saw the court's attitude.

However, the transmission of information in this era is very limited after all. The news is passed between the state capitals, but it cannot sink to the people immediately.

Fortunately, the 100 million guan that Li Gang brought over immediately helped him gather a group of people in that area.

At the most critical moment, the crudest and most useful thing is money!

On August [-], Zhao Ning also received Li Gang's memorial.

The current memorials of the three defense lines all reveal the same point: lack of money!

In Shaanxi, Zhang Jun even moved the tax money to military expenditures, so that when many officials took the "voucher calendar" to receive their monthly salary, they were told to suspend the payment.

This practice of harming bureaucratic interests immediately aroused some people's backlash.

For example, Li Boyan, the magistrate of Qinzhou, filed a letter to the capital to impeach Zhang Jun for stealing taxes and treason.

As soon as the news reached Tokyo, it immediately caused a great sensation.

A group of bureaucrats who had been squatting nearby, waiting for Zhang Jun to make a mistake, immediately began to stay up all night writing.

Starting to write articles on national defense security, official conduct, and Zhang Jun's personal morality.

For example, someone wrote that Zhang Jun didn't listen to lectures in class when he was a child, and he liked to bully other classmates, spit everywhere, and peeked at the woman next door to take a bath.

Of course, some people will definitely use the "Chenqiao mutiny and the addition of yellow robes" as an example. This is the usual method used by civil officials in the Song Dynasty to intimidate Zhao officials.

When Zhao Ning received Li Boyan's memorandum, he approved a sentence: This person provoked the relationship between the monarch and his ministers during the preparation period, and suggested checking whether he was a spy of the Jinren.

Li Boyan is just a microcosm of many bureaucrats.

Currently, there is only one question before Zhao Ning: money!

For Zhao Ning, any reforms now are worthless, because at this time, the most important thing is to make money.

To do a good job of the next defense in such a short period of time, the right people have been arranged, and the only thing left is money.

As long as the Jin army's offensive is defended this year, the Song Xia alliance will surely succeed!

On August [-]th, the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Tokyo was strong, and it was rare for the common people to feel the peaceful days again. Early in the morning, the streets were crowded with people.

Not only has the rice market recovered, but teahouses have also begun to have customers.

As for the brothel outside Donghua Gate, business is gradually improving.

Several officials from the imperial city went straight into the Chunfeng Tower, and the old bustard immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Several officials, please come inside."

He Bin, the leader, said: "Mother Zhang, is Taiwei Wang there?"

"Wang Taiwei... Wang... is not here..."

"Why, you are so courageous that the Imperial City Secretary dares to hide the truth when he is looking for someone?" He Bin said slowly, "There shouldn't be any spies from the Jinren here, right?"

"Wang Taiwei, Wang Taiwei's Tianzi shop on the second floor."

Soon, the gate of the Tianzi Hall was kicked open, and Wang Zongyi, the commander in front of the hall, was sweating profusely comforting the young and beautiful girl, when he was suddenly interrupted and shivered.

"Who! You are so bold!" Wang Zonglin scolded angrily.

When he saw that it was a member of the Imperial City Division, he became even more furious: "Get out!"

"Wang Taiwei!"

"Get out! Don't think that relying on Gao Lian, I can't do anything to you, get out!"

He Bin looked at Wang Zonglin with the same eyes he used to look at Wang Xun and Li Huan at that time, and said gently: "Wang Taiwei, Your Majesty welcomes you."

Chapter 106 You are really my good uncle, hand over all the money

Wang Zonglin was forced to end.

He stared straight at the imperial city secretary, and said with pity: "Go out, do you want me to put on clothes in front of you?"

He Bin smiled and said, "Until you see His Majesty, you must not leave our sight."

"I am the commander of the front of the palace, and Gao Qiu has to give me three points when he comes!"

"You can tell His Majesty about this."

"you……"

"Don't keep His Majesty waiting."

After Wang Zonglin was forced to finish, he was forced to put on his clothes under the watchful eyes of a group of people.

The girl next to him was so frightened that she covered herself with a quilt and shivered.

Half an hour later, Wang Zonglin appeared in front of Wende Hall.

When he went in, Gao Qiu just came out.

"Wang Taiwei." Gao Qiu narrowed his eyes and smiled, his smile was very kind.

"Yo, Captain Gao is here."

"Long time no see, Taiwei Wang. Judging by his complexion, this is just about to be interrupted by someone forcibly, and he has become sluggish?"

Wang Zonglian's face immediately became gloomy: "Gao Qi, don't play tricks, I am the uncle of the official family, you should find out who you are!"

"Wang Taiwei, go in quickly, the official family is waiting for you!" Gao Qiu gave Wang Zonglian a mysterious smile, and then left.

Wang Zonglin walked into Wende Hall, immediately changed his face, and immediately said respectfully: "I see the official family."

Zhao Ning was eating noodles, eating "instigating" sound.

It stands to reason that the emperor did not see anyone or speak when he was eating.

But Zhao Ning didn't have that set of rules, and eating noodles was full of a reckless posture, wishing to pour a bowl of noodles in two or three bites.

"You came."

Wang Zong's heart was pounding, and he asked tentatively: "I don't know what's the matter with the official Xuanchen?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just care about my uncle."

Hearing the emperor's words, he immediately felt relieved, and then his face changed again, and he immediately put on a very pitiful look: "The officials finally think of me."

"Cough cough..."
