Chapter 195 The official family wants to give us an official?

The current Da Song army is indeed decaying very fast, very fast.

But Chen Kangbo vaguely remembered that the Song Dynasty army was not like this.

More than ten years ago, led by the Yue family army, the Song army had a glorious period.

At that time, the Song army was very powerful. It repeatedly defeated the attacking plots of the Jin army on the Central Plains, and then switched from defense to attack, winning many times, fighting against the iron cavalry of the Jin army, and even looking forward to recovering the old capital.

As a result, everything came to nothing.

The real famous general who was given high hopes by the Northern Expedition faction died in the hands of his own people, and his tragic vows turned into a river of spring water flowing eastward.

It is said that after the news reached the Jin Kingdom in the north, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom who were beaten by the famous general slapped their crowns and celebrated each other.

The two, who knew the inside story, sighed in unison.

After a while, Chen Kangbo worried again: "In recent years, the envoys from the Jin Kingdom have made some disturbing reports, saying that the gold masters are sending a large number of Liaodong Jurchens to settle in the Central Plains of Hebei, Shandong, and Shaanxi. The gold master is dredging the waterway, and I am very worried."

When Chen Chengzhi heard this, he understood what Chen Kangbo meant, but he felt it was unlikely.

"A little record is not enough to be the truth? And if the sponsor really wants to do something, it is impossible for us not to know in advance, not to mention that there is trouble in Shandong now, even if the sponsor wants to do something, it must be against Shandong, and Not against me, not to mention the peace talks between the two countries."

"The peace conference is just a piece of paper, if you say it is torn up, it is torn up. Did the Jin people tear up the peace talks? And no one thought that after the Han state was conquered, Emperor Taizong would immediately attack the Khitan north to capture the sixteen states of Yanyun, so he said Anything is possible, if the gold lord goes south after the crusade against Shandong..."

Chen Kangbo looked at Chen Chengzhi: "Can the Great Song army resist it? If so."

Chen Chengzhi was silent for a while.

"Impossible, right? Such an assumption would be too involved."

"The idea is not bold, when is it bold?"

Chen Kangbo asked Chen Chengzhi back.

Chen Chengzhi was silent.

For a long time, Chen Chengzhi opened his mouth and said, "I will send people to pay attention to this aspect. If there is a problem, I will send people to do more preparations. However, I still don't think the gold master will ignore the peace talks and go south, and those who betray their trust will never go south. It will end well.”

Chen Kangbo did not object to this.

But he always felt that it was a nonsensical thing in itself for an emperor who relied on a coup to abide by the peace agreement.

If he can abide by the rules, can he do things like slaughter the king and seize the throne and kill the clan?
Those powerful generals and their descendants who were regarded as confidants of the Song Dynasty, I do not know how many died at the hands of Wanyanliang, so when he heard the news, Chen Kangbo could finally understand the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom who heard the news of Yue Fei's death. feel it.

History is always strikingly similar.

In short, Wanyanliang was definitely not a traditional emperor who would abide by the rules.

In addition, there is such a thing happening in Shandong now, if Wanyanliang has any ideas, it is not impossible.

But Chen Kangbo couldn't do anything about it, he could only watch the wheels of history roll forward.

He has a high status, can't control the army, and can't launch the Northern Expedition. He has countless political enemies and people who are holding him back, which makes him very painful.
After Chen Chengzhi returned to the Privy Council, he selected some people he could trust to go to Shandong with official orders and official seals.

According to Shen Gui's suggestion, things related to these officials have been manipulated, which is not something ordinary people can see.

If the rebellion succeeds, everything is easy to say. If the rebellion fails, Jinren will blame Lin'an, and Lin'an will also have a speech. He will never admit that he has done this.

All in all, this is an act of maximizing benefits without cost, which is very worthy of appreciation.

Chen Chengzhi also felt that doing so had the least risk and the greatest benefit.

So the messenger from Song Ting arrived in Haizhou in late August, approaching September, and contacted Zhao Kai, the Zhao family who was appointed as the general manager of Haizhou and Pizhou, on the first day of September.

When it comes to seniority, Zhao Kai and Zhao Yucheng are of the same seniority, Zhao Kaishan's nephew, but they are five or six years older than Zhao Yucheng.

This person's ability is mediocre, there is no outstanding place, and there is no obvious deficiency.

There is only one point, that is, being extremely cautious. This is widely circulated in the new generation of the Zhao family, and everyone mocks him for being timid.

When Zhao Kaishan considered the military defense of the Southern Song Dynasty, he took this into account, and felt that dealing with the Southern Song Dynasty needed to be cautious and not messy, so he chose Zhao Kai, and let Zhao Kai be the general manager of the two prefectures, and put Pizhou and Haizhou in the Southern Song Dynasty. defenses are built.

Zhao Kaishan didn't want to be a courtier of the Southern Song Dynasty at all and listened to the eunuch emperor's words, but he did not dare to blatantly offend the Southern Song Dynasty, fearing that the Southern Song Dynasty would backstab him when he was fully expanding his power.

Therefore, he still set a strategy to adapt to the situation, instructed Zhao Kai more, and took care of him.

Of course, Zhao Kai also carefully dealt with the situation in the Southern Song Dynasty. While allowing the locals to do business with the Southern Song merchants as usual, he was alert to the fact that the Southern Song Dynasty came to spy on the truth of the Restoration Army.

And this time, the Southern Song side was not a spy with a secret identity, but an upright envoy.

"The officials want to give us officials?"

Zhao Kai couldn't help but be surprised when he learned the messenger's intention.

"Exactly, when the officials learned that Erdan had raised an army against the gold, they greatly appreciated it and decided to grant him an official, hoping that Erdan would make persistent efforts to hit the gold thieves hard!"

With a smile on his face, the messenger announced the appointment of officials from the Lin'an court, and announced that Zhao Kaishan would become the envoy of the Shandong East Road and the Shandong East Road, and master the government of the soldiers and the people of the two roads.

After that, he wanted to arrange some positions on Shandong East Road and Shandong East Road, although he told the messenger that the messenger would return to Lin'an to inform the court of the matter.

It can be said that the conditions are very rich.

But of course Zhao Kai can't make the decision on behalf of Zhao Kaishan, so Zhao Kai decided to tell Zhao Kaishan about this matter, let Zhao Kaishan make a decision, ask the messenger to wait for a while, and then provide food and drink every day, for fear of offending the poor reception. took them.

After that, Zhao Kai quickly sent someone to tell Zhao Kaishan the news.

At that time, Zhao Kaishan was in the period of forging ahead after the strategic separation from Su Yonglin. He was supervising the army to attack the prefectures on Shanxi Road and Damingfu Road that were not occupied by Su Yonglin.

Before that, Zhao Kaishan had done a lot of "big things".

After the strategic separation, he reorganized the army, and in line with his own intentions, he did a lot of things to the army.

For example, he set up the post of superintendent after the Song Dynasty, saying that every army must send a superintendent.

It was mainly because of the previous rebellion that made him afraid, so he decided to set up the post of supervisor to add a firewall to his own security.

The supervising army is not responsible for specific military affairs, but has the power to supervise the leader of the army, and only accepts the leadership of Zhao Kaishan himself.

Because he was not in charge of specific military affairs, he only required loyalty and reliability, so the selection of supervisors was greatly increased. Zhao Kaishan sent additional supervisors to the troops of the Restoration Army under his command.

After Su Yonglin took away the Shengjie Army, Zhao Kaishan added four bugs to his army, front, back, left and right, plus the original Beiwei Army, Tabai Army, Xianfeng Army, Defeating the Enemy Army, and You Yi Army. Nine armies.

Each of the nine armies sent a supervisor, and the nine supervisors were all from the Zhao family, and they were all reliable but incompetent people.

Not to mention the army led by generals with foreign surnames, the army of generals of the same clan was also dispatched by Zhao Kaishan to supervise the army, such as the Xuanfeng Army led by Zhao Xiang and the Tabai Army led by Zhao Zuoliang.

Zhao Kaishan's reasons are quite sufficient.

It is said that he was worried that the generals lacked energy and could not manage all aspects, so he sent the supervisor to be in charge. From now on, the generals only need to concentrate on military affairs, and the rest can be handed over to the supervisor.

But it is easy to use such words to deceive children, but it is not so easy to deceive generals who fight together, especially generals with foreign surnames.
