Qian Song

...

At the same time that Li Cun entered Bianliang City in Tokyo, Zong Ze, who parted ways with Zhao Gou, had already gained a foothold here in Kaide Mansion.

Kaide Mansion is also called Chanzhou.

Back then, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom and the Liao Shengzong personally led an army southward to penetrate deep into the Song Dynasty.

On the side of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, some ministers advocated avoiding the enemy and fleeing south. The then emperor Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng also wanted to flee south. Because of the persuasion of the prime minister Kou Zhun, he came to Chanzhou to supervise the battle.

Later, the Song army held fast to the town behind the Liao army, and shot and killed the Liao general Xiao Talin with an eight-ox crossbow under the city of Chanzhou.

As a result, the two sides signed the Chanyuan Alliance, which established a century-old peace on the frontiers of Song and Liao.

In order to get to Kaide Mansion, Zong Ze walked and fought all the way, and fought thirteen bloody battles with a small group of rangers in the Qianjun Army.

Since the direction of Kaide is not currently the focus of the army's deployment-there are only some rangers in units of Yidu or even Yishi.

This made Zongze win every battle.

Of course, Zong Ze didn't bring many troops, not counting the troops that Zhao Gou reinforced him later. When he first came, he only had 3000 troops.

But in any case, Zongze used force to open up a base here in Kaide Mansion, and with these thirteen victories, he became famous, causing many defeated soldiers, armed landlords, bandits, and bandits to come here Take refuge in Zongze.

At this time, under the order of Li Cun earlier, Zhang Chen, a member of Zhongshushe sent out by Zhao Huan, under the protection of a group of soldiers, came to the city of Kaide Mansion with Zhao Huan's edict to visit Zhao Gou. where.

In fact, Zhang Cheng and his group started before Zhao Huan was abolished.

However, because there were rebels and bandits everywhere along the way, and the Yellow River was completely civilized, almost all the pontoon bridges on the Yellow River were burned by Zhe Yanzhi, making it difficult to cross the river. Zhao Gou's Grand Marshal's Mansion ran from Xiangzhou to Daming Mansion From the area of ​​Daming Mansion to the area of ​​Kaide Mansion and other reasons, Zhang Li and the others walked for a little less than a month before arriving at the city of Kaide Mansion.

Prior to this, Zong Ze had been preaching that Zhao Gou was in his army at Zhao Gou's request and in order to better recruit troops, and that his place was the Generalissimo's Mansion.

This is why Zhang Cheng and the others finally went to Kaide Mansion to find Zhao Gou.

Zhang Cheng told the reason why he came here under the city, and asked the guards to go immediately to ask Zhao Gou to come out to meet the imperial edict.

After Zong Ze heard about this, he came to the tower and said to Zhang Chen, "I am Zong Ze, the deputy marshal. Why did Zhang Sheren come here?"

Zhang Cheng said: "Dare to ask Deputy Marshal Zong, is King Kang here? Your Majesty has an imperial decree to urgently call King Kang back to Beijing."

Zong Ze asked: "Why does Your Majesty urgently call the Grand Marshal back to Beijing?"

Zhang Cheng replied: "Now that the Gan army has climbed the walls of the capital, Your Majesty has ceded the two rivers and states to Dagan. The two countries have made peace. Your Majesty hastened to call King Kang back to Beijing to discuss a plan for the reconciliation of the two countries."

Zong Ze said: "The alliance under the city can be counted? Let's make a peace agreement. Why do you want to deceive the Generalissimo to return to the capital? This is clearly a trick of the thief. How can I let him succeed? I will bring a large army to see the thief in the next day." How to make peace!"

Hearing what Zong Ze said, Zhang Cheng hurriedly persuaded: "Vice Marshal Zong must not be reckless, or you will miss His Majesty's plan to retreat from the enemy. Today, His Majesty's imperial pen is here. Please see Vice Marshal Zong."

After Zhang Cheng finished speaking, he asked the soldiers around him to shoot Zhao Huan's imperial decree to the top of the city gate.

Qianjun Xiaoxiao shot Zhao Huan's imperial decree to the top of the city gate with one arrow.

Seeing this, a soldier of the Song Army picked up Zhao Huan's imperial edict and handed it to Zongze.

Zong Ze looked at it, and then said to the left and right: "This is forged by gangsters. They want to harm the Generalissimo, so don't keep it. Take it from me."

Zongze's personal soldiers immediately brought fire notes after hearing the words.

Zong Ze burned Zhao Huan's imperial decree as soon as he set fire to it.

Zhang Cheng saw Zongze dare to burn Zhao Huan's imperial decree at the base of the city, and said anxiously: "Zongze, how dare you burn the imperial decree?! Do you know that you have violated the king's law!"

Zong Ze, who is not even afraid of death, would not be frightened by Zhang Cheng. He laughed and said, "Zhang Cheng, you falsely preached the imperial decree, and dare to say that I violated the king's law? To tell you the truth, Generalissimo Kang Wang is now opening In the German mansion, if the gangsters want to trick Generalissimo Kang to return to the capital by tricks, it is absolutely impossible! If the gangsters want Generalissimo Kang, they will raise troops to fight, if they are sincere, they will withdraw from the capital, otherwise I will lead the army to King Jingqin to meet His Majesty."

Zhang Cheng continued to persuade Zongze: "Deputy Marshal Zong, you must not rush into the army rashly, it will ruin the plan of the Holy Lord..."

Zongze said impatiently: "Drum noise, if you don't leave, I will send troops to attack you!"

After finishing speaking, Zong Ze ordered the junior school around him to draw their bows and set their arrows, ready to shoot.

Seeing this, Zhang Li had no choice but to evacuate with the generals of the Qian army.

At this time, Zhao Gou had already arrived at Dongping Mansion.

During the time in Dongping Mansion, Zhao Gou's Grand Marshal's Mansion was actually not idle. After many investigations, they have basically figured out the situation of the Qianjun's camp.

As far as the current stage is concerned, the main force of the Gan army is actually formed in Lianzhuzhai under Bianliang City, Tokyo, eastward to Dongming County, westward to Xuncheng County, and northward to Weinan County.

During this period of time, the main reason why the Qian army did not come to trouble Zhao Gou's Grand Marshal's Mansion was because the Qian army was attacking the main forces of the Song army, such as Weng Yanguo's department, Wang Shizhong's department, Xu Fen's department, and Guo Fengshi's department, from north to south. Cun planned to completely recover Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road, and open up the Central Plains and southern regions, so that Li Cun's site in the Central Plains and the site in the south were first connected together.

If Li Cun's strategic goal can be achieved, the Central Plains region will be able to obtain a steady stream of food, reinforcements and other support from the southern region, which will inevitably make the Gan army invincible.

In other words, the direction of Li Cun's army at this time is the south, not the north. More importantly, Li Cun wants to digest the Gyeonggi area first, or more precisely, the heart of the Zhao and Song Dynasties first—— Tokyo Bianliang City.

Otherwise, whether it is Zhao Gou or Zong Ze, they will definitely not have a good life now.

The characteristic of Lianzhu Village is that each camp is closely connected like a string of beads, supporting each other and forming a whole, which will not be easily broken down individually.

Moreover, the fences in the camps of the Gan army are strong, and there is no gap to take advantage of.

This makes the Gyeonggi area currently an impeccable and extremely offensive military fortress. Unless Zhao Gou can gather all the troops of the Zhao Song Dynasty as Wang Boyan expected, it will be impossible to compete with it.

At least Zhao Gou thinks so.

Therefore, on the day when Zhao Huan was abolished, Zhao Gou ordered the shogunate of Marshal Bingma to order them to reorganize the troops deployed in Caozhou and Puzhou, and ordered all the ministries to face each other and judge momentum.

After further reorganization and statistics:
The five armies of the Marshal of Bingma were stationed in Dongping Mansion: the vanguard Xin Yanzong had 5000 people, the former army had Chaotong 500 people, the left army Zhang Qiong had 500 people, the central army Zhang Juntong had 2000 people, Zhao Juntong had 500 people, and the right army had 500 people. Miao Futong has 500 people, and the rear army Fan Shitong has 500 people.A total of 4 people above, including the Ma Jun, claimed to have a total of [-] troops, with Yang Weizhong as the capital.

The troops stationed in Kaide Mansion: Chen Cui has 2000 people from Cizhou, 1000 from Mingzhou, 2000 from Shang Gongxu, 2000 from Dang Jing, 1000 from Wang Xiaozhong, 1000 from Quan Bangyan, and 1 from Kong Yanwei.A total of 9000 people, including the Ma Jun, are known as 8000 people, under the command of Chen Cui and under the unified command of Zong Ze.

The troops stationed in Puzhou: Luqiu Shengtong 3000 people, Yao Pengtong 2000 people, Sun Zhentong 2000 people, a total of 7000 people, including Ma Jun, known as 4000 people and horses, under the unified command of Zongze.

The troops stationed in Xingren Mansion: Huang Qianshan unified 3000 people, Zhang Huantong 500 people, Gao Gonghantong 500 people, and Wang Shantong 1000 people.A total of 9000 people, including Ma Jun, is known as 2000 people, under the command of Zhang Huan and unified command by Huang Qianshan.

The troops stationed in Guangji, Zha: Ding Shuntong 3000, Meng Shining 2000, Wen Zong Jiantong 1000, Li Dajun 1000, and Zhang Rongtong 1000.A total of 8000 people, including Ma Jun, is known as 5000 people, under the command of Ding Shun and unified command by Huang Qianshan.

The troops stationed in Danzhou: 2000 from Wang Che, 2000 from Dong Yi, and 2000 from Zhao.A total of 6000 people, including Ma Jun, is known as 2000 people, under the unified command of Huang Qianshan.

The troops stationed in Berlin Town: Liu Haotong 2000 people, Bai'an Mintong 1000 people.A total of 3000 people, including Ma Jun, is known as 6000 people, under the unified command of Huang Qianshan.

In total, as of now, the total strength of the Generalissimo Mansion has a total of 500 people, including the horse army, which is known as 16 people.

From Zhao Gou's point of view, although the 8-odd horses seem to be quite a lot, some of them are bandits recruited for security, some of them are rout soldiers and military bandits gathered together, and there are also temporarily formed King Qin soldiers and militiamen, leading the army. Such a miscellaneous army could not fight Li Cun decisively.

Therefore, while Zhao Gou continues to send people to the Gyeonggi area to inquire about the movement of the Qianjun and the situation in Bianliang City in Tokyo, he continues to send Fan Na, the envoy of Xuanfu, Zhao Ye, the chief of the North Road, Wang Xiang, the chief of the West Road, and Weng Yanguo, the economic envoy , Shaanxi Five Route Jingzhi Qian Gai, etc. These civil servants and military generals of the Zhao Song Dynasty who have soldiers and horses in their hands send news, please come to the Generalissimo's Mansion to report as soon as possible...

……

After entering Bianliang City in Tokyo, Li Cun got busy.

Deal with the old political forces of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Deal with the gentry, dignitaries and nobles of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

The officials and troops of the Zhao and Song Dynasties who joined the Dagan Dynasty were resettled.

Arrange for the handover of all departments between the officials of the Daqian Dynasty and the officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

Receive the firework and gunpowder work that Li Cun is very fancy, and arrange the makers and craftsmen of the firework and gunpowder work.

Select the craftsmen in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and give them key care and priority placement.

Due to the siege of Bianliang City in Tokyo for more than a month, the residents in the city have a serious shortage of living supplies, which needs to be resolved immediately, or even disaster relief.

The dignitaries of the Daqian Dynasty were settled in the inner city of Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Pay attention to the full restoration of normal business transactions in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Crack down on criminals in an all-round way.

The search continues for members of the royal family and clan members of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

appease the people.

Confiscate the land occupied by the noble gentry and dignitaries of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Redistribute land in the form of cash-for-work.

Plan spring plowing.

Pay attention to the war to regain Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road.

Pay attention to the development of Zhao Gou and Zong Ze's Bingma Grand Marshal's Mansion.

In short, after Li Cun took control of Bianliang City in Tokyo, it seemed that all urgent matters came to him at once.

Fortunately-

Li Cun is no longer the leader of the rebel army who didn't even have a literati in his hands when he first conquered the world.

——Before that, although the Dagan Dynasty was not as exaggerated as the [-] officials of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, there were always [-] to [-] officials.

Moreover, long before the encirclement of Bianliang City in Tokyo, Li Cun ordered Lu Jiang, Zhang Shi and other ministers to preside over the relocation of the capital to Bianliang City in Tokyo.

——Actually, it’s not safe to do so. After all, Nanjing’s Jinling City, which has complete defense facilities, has the natural danger of the Yangtze River as a barrier, and is also a major grain-producing area, is obviously more suitable as a capital city than the current Bianliang City in Tokyo.But Li Cun felt that he was born in sorrow and died in peace.Furthermore, the chaotic Central Plains urgently needs a sense of belonging.In addition, after all, Nanjing is a bit to the south, which is not conducive to Li Cun's control of the remote Yanyun area that has just been recovered, and it is not conducive to Li Cun's competition with northern forces such as the Kingdom of Jin, Xixia, and the grasslands.Therefore, Li Cun vetoed those proposals to persuade Li Cun to keep the capital in Yingtianfu, and resolutely moved the capital to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

It was precisely because the Dagan Dynasty moved its capital that Lu Jiang and Zhang Shi led a large number of Dagan Dynasty officials to the north.

In addition, Li Cun still has a large number of officials from the original Liao Kingdom.

In addition, Li Cun accepted a larger number of officials from the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Now, Li Cun's staff can definitely be said to be full of talents.

As long as Li Cun can make good use of these talents, not to mention this problem, even a hundred times more problems can be solved.

But then again, no matter how many talents Li Cun has in his hands, many things must be handled by Li Cun himself.

For example, I met the ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty and pulled them to my side instead of asking them to help Zhao Gou restore the country.

The first people Li Cun met were Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye and Huang Jingchen who hadn't died.

After meeting, Li Cun said bluntly: "I know that the three of you are loyal ministers of Zhao Song, but the matter has come to an end, the three of you can continue to choose to be loyal to Zhao Song, or there is a better choice."

Speaking of this, Li Cun first looked at Tang Ke: "If you choose to be loyal to Zhao Song, others will just rank you with He Li and Sun Fu, not saying that you are a loyal minister of Zhao Song, but only saying that you are an atonement. I know that you have the talent to govern the country and stabilize the country. If you choose to work for me, I will definitely use you. When you are here, when you make achievements, the world will know that you are incompetent. In fact, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan do not know how to use talents. .”

Hearing Tang Ke's words, Gu Jing Wubo's face couldn't help but change a bit.

Li Cun looked at Zhang Shuye again: "You are both civil and military, you have made great achievements in defending the border, governing the region, and annihilating Song Jiang. You choose to support your own troops to protect yourself, but you choose to lead the army to serve the king bravely. After entering the city, you repeatedly offered good strategies to Zhao Huan, but Zhao Huan did not adopt them. Therefore, it is not you who are incompetent, but Zhao Huan is not a good leader. If you choose to be my Effectiveness, I will use it heavily in you, so that you can make the best use of it, and your name will go down in history."

After thinking about it, Li Cun said to Zhang Shuye sincerely: "I'm not afraid to tell you that the destruction of Zhao Song is nothing to me, and I have never taken it to heart. My wish is Destroy Dangxiang in the west, conquer Jurchens in the north, sweep across Mobei, and fight for a pure land for our Han people. Therefore, if you serve me, you will have a place to use your strength."

Tang Ke was aggrieved, and Zhang Shuye was actually more aggrieved than Tang Ke.

As Li Cun said, at the most critical time in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Zhang Shuye desperately came to rescue the king, and was willing to sacrifice his life to protect Zhao Huan to escape, but Zhang Shuye's good intentions were all overwhelmed. It was rejected and wasted by Zhao Huan, and Zhang Shuye gave Zhao Huan some good suggestions, but none of them were adopted by Zhao Huan, which made Zhang Shuye sad and accomplished nothing.

It can even be said that Zhang Shuye's passion was full of enthusiasm, but in the end, all he got in return was disappointment and uselessness.

Li Cun looked at Huang Jingchen again: "There are four thousand eunuchs in Zhao Song Dynasty, and you, Huang Jingchen, are the only one who can serve the country with his death. It is rare, rare."

Then Li Cun changed his tone and said bluntly: "I value your loyalty and want you to manage the eunuchs together with my eunuch Liu Xuan. It is true that you must be willing to serve me for this matter."

At the beginning of the founding of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin stipulated that the number of eunuchs should not exceed 50.

In the period of Zhao Guangyi, there was an increase, and the number of eunuchs was stipulated to be 180.

By the time of Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, the number of eunuchs had reached 4000.

Li Cun didn't like eunuchs who were neither yin nor yang, so there were not many eunuchs on hand.

But Li Cun always believes that existence is justified.

This eunuch has existed in Chinese history for more than 500 years, so it must have its meaning.

The point is, if Li Cun didn't use eunuchs, it would be troublesome to deal with the thousands of eunuchs in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Cun decided to use eunuchs.

in fact--

Many eunuchs have already come to serve Li Cun.

For example, Deng Shu and others made great contributions in the process of collecting members of the royal family and clan members of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

But eunuchs, a special group of people, in Li Cun's view, the most important thing is loyalty.

And eunuchs like Deng Shu, when the Zhao and Song Dynasties were in trouble, it would be fine if they didn't serve the country with their death, and they would make their mother worse.

Li Cun was really worried about keeping these eunuchs by his side.

Therefore, if Huang Jingchen is willing to serve Li Cun, Li Cun will indeed use Huang Jingchen and Liu Xuan to manage these eunuchs first.

Of course, as Li Cun said to Huang Jingchen, the premise is that Huang Jingchen is willing to work for Li Cun.

If Huang Jingchen, including Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, and other former ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasties, were unwilling to work for Li Cun, Li Cun, who has no shortage of talents, would definitely not force them.

Therefore, Li Cun only met Tang Ke, Zhang Shuye, and Huang Jingchen, and told them his views and arrangements for them. He did not force them to serve him, but gave them full self-choice.

What needs to be explained is that it is impossible for Li Cun to devote all his precious time to these former ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty who are not sure whether they will vote for him.

On the contrary, Li Cun spent more time meeting Zhang Bangchang, Zhe Yanzhi, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe, Fan Qiong, Cao Fu, Sun Zhi and other old ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasties who were willing to serve the Dagan Dynasty. They, listen to their statements about current affairs, and give themselves advice...

Among other things, it took Li Cun three days just to meet, appease and resettle these former ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

In addition to dealing with other urgent matters, Li Cun lived and ate in the Chui Gong Palace for seven days in a row, and could not take care of the women in the harem at all.

But everything has a head.

After these seven days of busy work, Li Cun finally took care of all the urgent matters that had to be handled by himself.

After holding back for so long, Li Cun can finally enter the Pansi Cave that he has longed for for a long time...
