Chapter 513 They don't want to believe this fact

For the next few days, everything seemed to follow Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi's guesses.

In addition to the normal court meetings, Zhao Gou also summoned Zhang Jun many times, sometimes once or twice a day, sometimes twice a morning, and even talked to Zhang Jun about late at night, and even dragged Zhang Jun away. he is gone.

This makes some people both envious and jealous, the whole person is like being soaked in lemonade, and the whole body is sour.

Zhang Jun also looked proud of the spring breeze. He was several years younger. Those who didn't know he thought he was a new "good man" who just got his name from outside Donghuamen.

According to the news circulating in the imperial court, Zhao Gou asked Zhang Jun a lot of things he needed to do to organize his armaments, how to deal with the Jin army's attack, Zhang Jun's weaknesses, and the key to the victory of the Song army.

Zhao Gou seemed to regard Zhang Jun as his only advisor, and neglected all the other courtiers, only favoring Zhang Jun.

A small reward every three days, a big reward every five days, money and things, if it weren't for Zhang Jun's age, he has more than enough energy but not enough strength, I am afraid that women will not be less rewarded.

As a result, more and more people were dissatisfied with Zhang Jun, and many of them were from the main war faction. They all felt that Zhang Jun was a bit too much.

They all felt that Zhang Jun had gone a bit too far, not to mention the group of Tang Situi and Shen Gai who were very uncomfortable with Zhang Jun.

Therefore, when Zhang Jun put forward a series of suggestions at the great court meeting to organize armaments and prepare for the southern invasion of the Jin Army, there were always many people who sang the opposite.

Zhang Jun fought against the Confucian scholars, and every day, he would have a fierce quarrel with his opponents, and the two sides were very happy.

Wang Lun, who knew the inside story, watched all this with a cold eye, feeling that everything was going down according to Zhao Gou's script.

Maybe he is proud of the spring breeze now, and he thinks what he wants, but when he finds that what he really wants to do is impossible to accomplish, what should he think?

Zhao Gou's net of heaven and earth has snared all the officials of the Southern Song Dynasty. No one can escape the upper limit he set for the Southern Song Dynasty. He is very proud of this.

However, the only place he can make decisions is only this piece of land actually controlled by the Southern Song Dynasty.

And beyond that, it's not something he can influence.

He thought that his power was exquisite and could lead the world, but he never thought that the northern land was surging and the situation was undergoing drastic changes.

No matter how sinister and vicious he is, he can only affect this corner of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Just as in Su Yonglin's eyes, Zhao Gou is just an ugly person.

At the end of February, when the ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were still arguing endlessly over Zhang Jun's proposal to comprehensively rectify the military readiness of the three war zones, and when the 30-year imperial examination in Shaoxing was underway, an astonishing news came from Huaibei. .

The gold master Wan Yanliang died, the entire army of 50 was wiped out, and the Liberation Army won a complete victory.

This news can be said to have ended all the disputes in the Southern Song Dynasty in an instant, and even Zhao Gou's smug smile on his face as he watched the endless debates between the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty also instantly solidified.

what?
Wanyanliang is dead?
The whole army of 50 was wiped out?

It was the Restoration Army that revolted to achieve this feat?

Are you kidding me?
The monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were all stunned the moment they heard the news, and then from their hearts or instinctively asked the emperor to investigate and punish the source of the news.

Even the literati who were waiting for the results of the second round of the imperial examinations did not believe the news from their hearts, and sought more reliable sources from "well-informed people".

They don't believe, they don't believe that the rebel army in the north can defeat Wan Yanliang and his 50 army. They don't believe that a group of rebels can do things that even the Song Empire army can't do. Do not believe.

If this is true, doesn't it mean that the Kingdom of Jin, which has dominated the Song Dynasty for 30 years and took away half of the Song Dynasty, no longer exists?

Doesn't that mean that the iron cavalry that made Da Song's army helpless has completely disappeared?

And the people who did all this were actually a group of rebels?
They don't believe it.

This point was implemented from top to bottom in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Gou's unprecedented proactive approach demanded that the Privy Council and other important military agencies immediately and comprehensively arrange personnel to go north to investigate the news, and must bring accurate and accurate information back to Lin'an.

In a word from the emperor, the courtier broke his leg, and the foreign intelligence search agencies of the entire Southern Song Dynasty were forced to end the link where the salted fish was rotten, and were forced to move forward reluctantly to actively investigate important intelligence information north.

They must know what happened to Wanyan Liang, what happened to Jin Guo, and what happened to the Restoration Army...

After a series of actions were ordered, Zhao Gou once again convened his highest ruling team, summoned all the prime ministers and the bigwigs of the Privy Council, and held a meeting with them.

The first person to be questioned was Zhang Jun.

Because when Zhao Gou asked Zhang Jun about the Liberation Army, Zhang Jun firmly believed that the Liberation Army would not be able to carry it, and would be torn apart and eaten by Wanyanliang, and then Wanyanliang would go south with the great victory. To attack Song, Da Song needs to prepare for war.

At that time, Zhao Gouda began to do psychological construction, feeling that he would keep his throne no matter what.

As a result, this guy couldn't be adjusted to Zhao Gou, and he felt that all the psychological construction was in vain.

Not to mention Zhao Gou, even the ministers felt that their quarrel and inner torment for more than a month had been in vain and had become meaningless.

All their disputes came from the Jin State, and originated from the Jin State's southern invasion. The Jin State invaded the south, and only then did they argue. If the Jin State is finished, what's the point of arguing and arguing?

Therefore, many people pointed their finger at Zhang Jun, who affirmed that there must be a battle between Jin and Song.

"Deyuan, tell me, what do you think about this matter?"

Zhao Gou looked at Zhang Jun with a bad expression.

Zhang Jun was actually very embarrassed, or, he was embarrassed that he was about to commit cancer, but he also felt that he was wronged.

Who would have thought that Wanyan Liang would be so rude?

How can a 50-strong army attack the Restoration Army turn things around?
Although this is just a rumor at the moment, it is not sure if it is true, but what if?
What if it was true?

Feeling the full malice of the emperor and his colleagues, Zhang Jun coughed awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, it is still uncertain whether this matter is true or false, and whether it is false news spread by the Restoration Army in order to confuse the Jin people and even the Great Song Dynasty. The matter still needs to be further investigated to determine whether it is true or false, so it is better for now. impatient."

Indeed, it is not known whether this news is true or false at the moment, and it is inappropriate to conclude that there is something wrong with what Zhang Jun said.

But as time went on, more and more news was sent from north to south, and more and more evidence showed that the Restoration Army really won the battle, and the Jin Army was really torn to pieces.

However, the Southern Song Dynasty court and the people were still reluctant to believe this fact.

Not to mention the imperial court, the rhythm of the folks was particularly lively. Those scholars who had just taken the imperial examinations and were waiting for the announcement of the rankings were just so bored, they were discussing these matters in the restaurants and teahouses in Lin'an.

These idle scholars can be said to be masters with rhythm. Among the scholars, Zhao Yanyu, Wang Zhi and others are very well-known and proficient in history, so they talked about Jin Wushu to Wanyanliang, and started from Jin Kingdom and Liaodong. When it comes to their crossing the Yangtze River, we come to a conclusion anyway—this thing is likely to be false.

How could a group of Jin Guo rebels defeat the Jin Guo army?

Only a few people think this may be true, that there is no wind and no waves, and there is no reason to spread such news everywhere, but under the pressure of the rhythmic storm of the majority, their voices can not be made.

However, the rhythm storm can't match the real sword. In the middle and late March, the troops of the prefectures along Nanjing Road invariably sent news that made the court and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty dumbfounded.

Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Caizhou, Yingzhou, Shouzhou, Suzhou, and Sizhou of the states along Jinnan Road were completely changed to their flags.
