Chapter 518 Yu Yunwen Enters Shandong
Haizhou did not arrange a prefect. Qi Shaohui was the head of security in Haizhou. He was a little surprised when he knew that the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty needed to enter the country.

The Zhao Kaishan Group was responsible for the reception of the envoys from the Southern Song Dynasty. Of course, Su Yonglin was not familiar with them after he took power, and there was no record of any contact with them.

According to Su Yonglin's account before, Qi Shaohui is only responsible for military security work to prevent Song soldiers from committing crimes. Once Song soldiers violate the territory, he can fight back on the spot without any responsibility.

But he really didn't know how to deal with political matters.

Not to mention that Haizhou has no provincial governor, only a few county magistrates, who is in charge of this is not suitable.

So Qi Shaohui could only come forward to receive the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty, arrange them to live in the city, and then send the news to Linyi County, Yizhou, and ask Zhao Zuoliang, the nominal top leader of the Restoration Army stationed in Linyi, how to deal with this matter.

Su Yonglin did not completely regard Zhao Zuoliang as a mascot.

Zhao Zuoliang himself has the ability to handle affairs, and his ability is not weak. When Su Yonglin was fighting with Jin Guo, he handed over the things that he was too busy to handle to Zhao Zuoliang many times, and Zhao Zuoliang also handled it very appropriately.

So Su Yonglin also handed over some power to Zhao Zuoliang, and asked Zhao Zuoliang to share some of the pressure for him.

The current situation is also the main reason why Su Yonglin asked Zhao Zuoliang to be the commander-in-chief.

Su Yonglin was reluctant to deal directly with the Southern Song Dynasty.

Although it has been a long time since he killed Sun Yuanqi and went north to the Jin Kingdom, this incident was discovered by the Southern Song officials, and he must be number one on the Southern Song official's wanted list.

If this fact is noticed, the Southern Song officials will realize - wow, it turned out that it was not the northerners who defeated the Jin Kingdom, but our own people in the Song Dynasty!

Still a wanted man for killing an official!
That's interesting.

In a short period of time, as long as the Southern Song Dynasty does not have any disputes with him, or mess with him, he does not want to meet the soldiers of the Southern Song Dynasty. His strategy is to put the north first and then the south.

So if you can avoid dealing with people from the Southern Song Dynasty, you can avoid dealing with people from the Southern Song Dynasty.

Don't worry about the name, it can be said that the name is the same. Among the more than 1 million Han people, there are not [-] or [-] Su Yonglin?

But if he was seen by the Southern Song officials who had met him, it would be hard to say.

Su Yonglin has seen many officials of the Southern Song Dynasty since childhood. If nothing else, he was very familiar with the former prefect of Qingyuan Prefecture. Later, he was transferred to Lin'an, and he didn't know what position he was in now. , how embarrassing?

So it is better to let Zhao Zuoliang come forward.

For this, Zhao Zuoliang is very clear, he knows his current position and mission, for the sake of his family and himself, he must stand with Su Yonglin.

Hearing that the Southern Song Dynasty had sent an envoy to visit the leader and general of the Restoration Army, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"What should come is still coming, and what should not come can't be expected no matter what."

Zhao Zuoliang decided to ask Qi Shaohui to arrange the Southern Song Dynasty envoy to Linyi, and he would personally receive him. He first explored the other party's tone to see what their purpose was, and then quickly informed Su Yonglin of their purpose and appeal, and Su Yonglin would do the final job. decision.

After Qi Shaohui received the order, he arranged for troops and horses to escort the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty further north.

As the official envoy of the envoy, Yu Yunwen was called by Zhang Jun to the official office before departure to give him face-to-face instructions and let him know the main reason and purpose of this envoy, as well as things he needed to know.

The first is the specific results of the liberation army defeating the Jin army in the south and the northern expedition to Yanyun, as well as the current situation of the Jin country.

The second is the perception of the top officials of the Restoration Army on the Southern Song Dynasty.

The third question is whether the Restoration Army has implemented effective governance over the area under its control, and has it completed the transition from a violent group to a regime.

The first question Yu Yunwen asked the first time he saw Qi Shaohui, and got the exact answer.

The Restoration Army defeated the Jin Army's 50 troops, killed Jin Emperor Wan Yanliang, killed more than 30 senior officers at the general manager level, captured more than 30, and won a complete victory.

The seized weapons and equipment were piled up in mountains, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Jin army were captured.

Now the army is divided into two groups, one way is the northern expedition, and the other is the west expedition - I heard that the west expedition has been won, and Kaifeng has been taken down.

The Northern Expedition army surrounded Zhongdu, and the Jin Kingdom was defeated like a mountain, and there was no way to fight back.

Yu Yunwen was both shocked and envious, and also had a little admiration for the leader of the Restoration Army - what he always hoped that the Song Dynasty could accomplish, and now someone else will do it. possible.

Both Han people, or Han people who were regarded as occupied areas by the Song Dynasty, rose up at one time and achieved such a great cause. How can people not admire it?

In fact, during this period of time, many activists within the main war faction have expressed their interest in Zhao Zuoliang and Su Yonglin, leaders of the Restoration Army, and are very curious about how they used their troops to defeat the Jin Army, and even thought of Beibei with them in person. interview.

Yu Yunwen is also one of them. He has been thinking of restoring the Central Plains to wash away the shame for many years as an official, but before he can do it, the shame is washed away by others.

He is extremely curious about the Restoration Army.

He wanted to know how the Restoration Army dealt with the huge military advantage of the Jin Army.

It is impossible for the Guangfu Army, which suddenly rebelled, to have an advantage over the Jin State militarily, especially in terms of technical arms such as cavalry, and it is even less likely that the Jin Army is so strong. How did they do it?
But this kind of thing is obviously not something people will tell him easily, so he doesn't ask much for the time being, and can only continue to carry out his mission.

He did not forget that he still had an unfinished mission - he wanted to observe whether the areas occupied by the Restoration Army were effectively governed, and whether the Restoration Army had truly become a regime.

After entering Haizhou, he paid attention to the scenery along the way and the towns he passed along the way, to observe the living conditions of the people in the area under the rule of the Restoration Army, and whether there were a large number of robbers and the like.

He originally thought that the Restoration Army had just gone through the war, and that it must have insufficient control over the region, and the situation in Haizhou must not be very good.

And even if he is a central government official, he is very clear about the fact that a large number of smuggled salt dealers buy and sell smuggled salt in Haizhou and Chuzhou. .

What kind of order can there be in a place where smuggling is rampant?
I'm afraid that the spheres of influence are not delimited by various parties, each of which is controlled by one, and even the existence of three-no-care zones, where robbers and bandits walk sideways, the people of Limin are as miserable as dogs, and the refugees are dying of hunger everywhere.

He thought so.

And he also knew that, in fact, when he left Lin'an, the same was true of many remote areas in the Song Dynasty, and even with some powerful local armed groups, they could form their own lines, leaving the Song Dynasty court helpless.

But what he saw in Haizhou was not like that.

Not to mention orderly, at least it is peaceful.

Along the way, you can meet some farms. The fields are full of grains, and the growth is gratifying. Many farmers are working hard, and it is impossible to see that they have encountered wars.

This shows that production in Haizhou has resumed, and there is no food crisis.

On the official roads along the way, there are many business trips coming and going. There are a lot of caravans, and there are also a lot of carts. Every town is under the jurisdiction of guards. In some places along the way, you can also encounter tax cards for tax collection. Responsible for collecting toll taxes, in good order.

Have you mastered the skills of collecting road tax?
Yu Yunwen couldn't help but feel very surprised. While his curiosity about the Restoration Army became stronger, he also secretly felt alert.

According to Zhang Jun, this is a symbol of regime change.

The ability to restore local production and collect taxes is enough to prove that Haizhou is being ruled and effectively governed.

The Restoration Army has indeed established a regime here, and its rule is quite stable.

However, Zhang Jun judged that the Restoration Army could not complete the transition from a violent group to a regime in just two years.

Zhang Jun thinks that they may be able to explode the seeds to defeat the main force of the Jin army, but they must be quite unfamiliar with such things as taking power, and it is difficult to do a good job in local governance.

But for now, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Yu Yunwen felt a little worried in his heart.
