My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 409 Master of Zhending Mansion!

Zhong Hao said angrily: "Father, Wang Lin is too deceitful. My Zhong family has been operating in the Western Army for a hundred years. Why should he be transferred from our army to defend Hebei? Isn't this clearly going to empty out the military power of my Zhong family?"

Zhong Wei, the grandson of the Zhong teacher, also said angrily: "Grandfather, my Zhong family has been serving the imperial court for a hundred years and has made great contributions. Now the court is controlled by King Yan, and the emperor has become a puppet. Our Zhong family army has become a soldier to fight against thieves. Lord Qing's side!"

Zhang Xiaochun and his son Zhe Keqiu, Yao Gu and others bowed their heads and remained silent.

They really couldn't answer this, and they didn't know whether to oppose or support it.

Zhong Shidao was silent for a long time before he said lightly: "It's easy to raise an army, but what is the result?"

"One, our army lost to Wang Lin, and was annihilated by Wang Lin's army. Tens of thousands of soldiers died in vain, and became rebels in the court. Our army fought endlessly with Wang Lin, and was taken advantage of by the Jin people, and then the Song Dynasty fell. Our family has become a sinner through the ages, condemned by everyone."

Zhong Shidao stared at Zhang Xiaochun's counting people, sighed: "My Zhong family has come to this point, but it has troubled you all."

Zhang Xiaochun smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Xiang's prestige in the Western Army is growing day by day, and he has made great contributions to the court this time. Mr. Xiang, I think that with the heart of King Yan, the Zhong family will not be put to death. After all, the national crisis is still at the head of the situation, and foreign enemies take the lead. .”

"Given the prestige of King Yan among the people and the world's scholars, if the Zhong family raises troops, they will definitely be labeled as rebellious by the court and the people of the world. At that time, the reputation of loyalty and filial piety accumulated by generations of the Zhong family may be destroyed in one day. Therefore, please think twice before you act."

Zhang Xiaochun still opened his mouth to persuade, even though he thought that Zhong's family would not listen.

Zhe Keqiu clasped his fists and said: "My lord, the power of the subduing tiger general is known all over the world. The power of the Jin people is unknown to others, but our western army knows it well. Wang Lin can win countless battles with the tens of thousands of the newly formed army subduing the tiger. , is really a good general for the country, and for the sake of the Song Dynasty, I ask you to put the state affairs first!"

Yao Gu also persuaded: "Master, now the general situation, people's support, and rule of law are all in the king of Yan. King Yan is the commander-in-chief of the world's soldiers and horses. It is really normal military affairs to transfer troops and horses to change defenses. If the family disobeys orders, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Zhong Hao and Zhong Wei trembled with anger: "You...followers!"

Zhe Keqiu and Yao Gu sneered and remained silent.

Didn't even bother to argue.

Anyway, they had already made up their minds, if the family wanted to rebel, they would definitely not follow.

"Okay, shut up." Zhong Shidao reprimanded his nephew and sighed: "What you said is true, but in fact, this old man has no intention of raising troops.

But the Zhong family is not only the children of the Zhong family, but also the generals.You follow my family as generals in the Western Army. If my family falls, will it implicate you all?I think, yes. "

The voice of Zhong Shidao was very low: "If the old man is deprived of military power and the children of the Zhong family are expelled from the army, can you protect yourself?"

Zhe Keqiu, Yao Gu and the others were silent.

There were also some waves in my heart.

Master Zhong said again: "So, today, I made a provisional agreement with the generals that if the king of Yan puts state affairs first and does not care about personal grievances with the Chong family, then I will do the same.

But if the King of Yan seized the military power of our family and the generals for his own selfishness, then it is no wonder that the commander wants to raise troops to fight against the thieves.The generals can wait and see the changes, and then they can support each other with the commander, how about it? "

The meaning of Zhong Shi's way is, don't turn against it first, let's see if Wang Lin will completely seize the military power of the Zhong family and the generals in the next step.At that time, it will not be too late to raise troops again.

Zhe Keqiu, Yao Gu and the others will be silent for a while, and they all bowed their hands to accept orders, and then retreated immediately.

Zhang Xiaochun and his son also smiled: "Master, Xiaguan and his son have also bid farewell. Tomorrow morning, Xiaguan will go to Hebei, first go to Zhending to pay homage to King Yan, and then go to Daming Mansion to take up his post."

Zhong Shidao cupped his fists: "Zhang Shangshu take care!"

Zhang Xiaochun and his son also left.

Chong Hao lamented: "Father, you are so confused! If you obey the order and leave Taiyuan, my Zhong family will be robbed of its foundation. If you don't take advantage of this time to raise troops, when will you wait?"

Master Zhong said indifferently: "Can't you see that the position of my father and son in the Western Army is weakening? What Zhang Xiaochun said is correct, the righteousness and the people's hearts are with Wang Lin, and you and my sons of the Zhong family rebelled. Dead end.

If there is an army, we can hope that people like Yao Gu will definitely not follow. Can we mobilize a maximum of 5 to [-] people, and use this to hit a stone with an egg?

Besides, state affairs are the most important thing, my family has been wise for a hundred years, how can I ruin it in the hands of this old man! "

Kind of like wailing.

Master Zhong sighed: "The death of your grandfather is not entirely Wang Lin's fault. If he hadn't conspired with the crown prince to seize the throne that day, and had murdered Wang Lin, how could he be punished?"

Chong Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Father, my Zhong family and Wang Lin's hatred is inseparable. If we don't fight and wait for Wang Lin to usurp the Song Dynasty and proclaim ourselves emperor, our Zhong family will surely end up copying our family and exterminating our family!"

"Don't talk about it, the old man will definitely not do it. Personal enmity and state affairs are more important. You have to distinguish clearly." Zhong Shidao walked away in a huff.

……

The morale of the Western Army was a little shaken.

Liu Yanqing is about to come to Taiyuan, Han Shizhong will divide his troops to guard Yanmen Daizhou, and Wu Jie and Wu Lin will divide another part, and the father and son of the Zhong family will switch to Hebei, so there will naturally be various rumors in the army.

The main reason is that the family army may want to rebel.

But the generals in charge of the Western Army are all monkeys.

Follow the Zhong family to rebel, and what the consequences will be, you will definitely think clearly.

The key point is, can the breeders support tens of thousands of troops?
How long can the tens of thousands of troops last if they are declared rebellious by the court and lose their military pay and supplies?

The reason why Tong Guan was able to show off his power in the Western Army back then was mainly because Tong Guan stuck the neck of the Western Army, the military pay and rations.

At this time, Liu Yanqing led more than ten generals of the army above command and hundreds of guards and was galloping through Taiyuan, but it was not as good as passing through the city, and continued to go straight to Hebei.

After the First Battle of Xixia, Liu Yanqing was quite in awe of Wang Lin's use of soldiers like a god and the combat power of the Fuhu Army. In addition, his son Liu Guangshi was still a general under Wang Lin's command. The party who left Lin Mansion for a while to go to Hebei to receive Yan Wang's inspection was led by the party.

And Wang Lin used him to take over the Western Army, which was reused.

Naturally, he also had to show his own attitude.

Qin Feng's Wu Jie and Wu Lin also led the generals to Hebei, and it is estimated that they will arrive at Zhending Mansion next month.

Wu Jie and Wu Lin also belong to the generals whom Wang Lin has recommended, promoted and reused all the time. It can be said that without Wang Lin, the two brothers would not be where they are today.

Therefore, although he is not a general of Wang Lin's direct lineage, Wu Jie and Wu Lin's loyalty is not lower than that of Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi.

At least Wu Jie and Wu Lin knew very well that at this moment, the Great Song Dynasty had internal and external troubles. Without Wang Lin, the Great Song Dynasty would surely perish.

They have fought against the Xixia people for a long time, and they know the virtues of the Xixia people.

As long as the Jinren have the upper hand, Xixia will definitely take advantage of the situation and loot it.

At that time, Da Song will be attacked by the enemy, will he still have a way out?

……

Zhendingfu.

Since the Song Dynasty, Zhending Mansion has been an important town in Hebei and the center of political economy, military culture, and the capital of West Hebei Road.

Although such a big city was slightly destroyed by the invasion of the Jin people, it has been repaired by the local army and civilians led by Ma Kuo who came in advance, and has restored its former grandeur.

People from Zhending Prefecture who fled to various parts of Hebei also gradually returned to their homes.

The resident population of Zhending Mansion is now about 30.

Lu Yihao recorded in his "Miscellaneous Notes of the Yan and Wei Dynasties": "The town of Zhending is [-] miles away, and the residents are rich. The Buddhist palace and Zen temple are hidden among the flowers, bamboos and flowing water, and the north and the south of the Yangtze River are closed."

"After Fuzhi, there is a pond garden, surrounded by nine miles, with towering ancient trees, facing each other with Taiwan and marshes."

In the dozens of poems written by Ouyang Xiu when he was the transfer envoy of Hebei Road, he also mentioned Tanyuan many times, which shows the style and appearance of Tanyuan at that time.

Therefore, when Ma Kuo brought people to Zhending to prepare for Yan Wang's Mansion and Grand Marshal's Mansion, he walked around the city twice, and immediately decided to transform the former Hebei West Road Transit Envoy's Yamen into the Grand Marshal's Mansion's office, and the latter The Tan Garden in the Tang Dynasty was designated as Yanwangfu.

There are towers, pavilions, and hundreds of houses in the garden, which is more than enough to accommodate more than a hundred family members and subordinates of King Yan's mansion.

Zhending Fucheng not only has the city and the Guo, but also Yacheng, Tancheng, Zicheng, and Yucheng.

In the past two days, all the generals in Wang Lin's army arrived at Zhending Mansion one after another with their troops. The Jin people had completely withdrawn from the Song Dynasty and crossed the Baigou River.

Although Ma Kuo repeatedly invited the generals to enter the city, Yue Fei and others politely declined.

Yue Fei and his generals set up camp in the wilderness outside the city. Except for the [-] troops stationed in the south of the Baigou River to defend against the Jin people, the rest of the [-] troops have already completed the Grand Master in Zhending Mansion.

Outside the city of Zhending Mansion, banners were unfurled, covering the sky and the sun.

Although it is cold and cold, the atmosphere in the army can burn everything.

Because, King Yan is coming soon.

Yue Fei has already dispatched outposts to welcome them. Wang Lin led the Generalissimo's Mansion and Yan Wang Mansion's subordinates, Hebei officials newly arranged by the court, and more and more scholars from all over the world, and merchants and craftsmen who voluntarily followed... Under the guard of the guard, it gradually approached.

This made Yan Qing feel a certain illusion.

He felt that if the prince proclaimed himself emperor in Zhending Mansion at this moment, he would not be short of people if he set up a court.

The north wind was howling, and Ma Kuo was leading people to inspect the final layout of Yan Wang's mansion, preparing to welcome Wang Lin and his people to move in. Suddenly, he heard earth-shattering shouts from the direction outside the city, and an incomparably clear "Yan Wang Wansheng" came from his ears. ", Ma Kuo was overjoyed, knowing that Wang Lin had arrived, he immediately led his men out of the city on horseback.

The team that stretched for dozens of miles marched on the official road leading to Zhending Mansion.

The banner of King Yan and the flag of Fuhu Army were flying, and they were already within sight.

At the gate of the city, Liang Hongyu, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Suo Chao, Yang Zhi, Qin Ming, Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, Dong Ping, Luan Tingyu, Li Kui, Shi Jin... all commanders and above in the Eastern Army series There are nearly a hundred people in the army, all of whom are waiting in line, ready to meet the command.

All the generals showed excitement on their faces.

Seeing Ma Kuo's arrival, Yue Fei immediately led all the generals to bow their hands in salute.

Ma Kuo knew that at this moment, in Zhending Mansion, Wang Lin would make a drastic reorganization of the military system and military positions of his troops.
