At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 314 Real gold returns to China
Thirty miles outside Helin City, Hadan, who was already the new King of Jinan, looked to the west, looking very eager.

Not a moment later, a horse galloped over and said, "His Royal Highness has arrived ten miles away."

Hardan turned around and said, "Everyone, follow me to greet you."

First he rebelled against Yuan and threw himself into Naiyan, then rebelled against Naiyan and threw himself into Yuan. Hardan was very good at jumping around repeatedly. Now that he has returned home with real money, he can't wait to express his loyalty.

After a while, Hardan and General He Lin saw the forward army.

They were all elite soldiers, all wearing armor and riding tall horses. A quick glance showed that there were not 3 people there.

Hardan clicked his tongue and said: "This is a pioneer, how come there are so many people?

Director He Lin and Wan Hu Yueerlu said: "His Royal Highness is not a good showman. I think his subordinates have expanded too much, so there are so many forwards."

It happened that the two of them saw the striker Jiang Yuwa missing, so they stepped forward to say hello.

"His Royal Highness has 20 soldiers under his command, and 50 craftsmen, doctors, and civilian servants are accompanying him, all of whom are slowly moving behind." Yuwashi said.

"With such strength, the north will be stable!"

"With His Royal Highness sitting in the town, the mere beauty can be broken with a flick of a finger."

Hardan and others were amazed and delighted.

Naiyan's attachment to the Song Dynasty was already extremely difficult to control. However, the center of Yuanting could no longer mobilize too many troops. As a result, the counter-insurgency operations in the north were restricted everywhere. Even key places such as Helin only had [-] defenders. Just the army.

Price had been on tenterhooks all day long, fearing that Naiyan would charge forward and kill him again. But now that it was fine, Naiyan had nothing to fear as Zhenjin had brought back so many troops.

Hardan and others continued to move forward, before seeing the real gold banner, they first saw the boundless convoy and troops.

It stretches to the horizon without end, with no end in sight.

Shocked, Hardan galloped for twenty miles and finally saw the real gold banner.

Hardan rolled off the saddle and bowed: "Your Majesty, Hardan, pays homage to His Royal Highness."

Zhenjin ended his chat with Boyan, jumped off his horse and helped Hadan up, saying: "Although I am in the Western Regions, I have heard about the profound righteousness of the King of Jinan. I am very lucky to see him today."

"Thank you, Your Highness, my subject..." Hardan felt ashamed, but was so moved that he couldn't speak for a while.

"Get on your horse and tell us about the situation in the North." Zhenjin said.

The Western Region is far away and news transmission is inconvenient. Zhenjin does not know the real-time battle situation or the details.

Hardan described everything in detail.

"What, Liaodong is lost?" Boyan interrupted and asked.

Hardan said: "I dare not deceive the marshal, because the Naiman belt suddenly rebelled, Shenzhou of Liaoyang was lost, and the entire territory could not be defended. It was all occupied by the Song Dynasty."

Zhenjin snorted coldly and said: "Such a scum has appeared in the Golden Family. I wish I could skin and bones!"

At this moment, a horseman came running wildly, came to Hadan and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the eagle from Shangdu sent a message. The Song army occupied Qingzhou and came to the city.

Shang was undefendable, and the Song army might divide its forces to attack Helin. In order to contain the Song army, the imperial censor led an army of [-] to attack Liaoyang, and asked the king to be prepared to meet the enemy. "

"Confused!" Boyan said: "When Yuxi Timur goes to Liaoyang, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth. How can it be so lucky? Your Highness, please quickly send a message that Yuxi Timur will return."

"I'm afraid it's too late." Zhenjin said: "Rather than letting it go, it's better to take the initiative. The Song army did not know how to turn around and led the army by surprise."

"What His Highness said is true, so I led the army forward." Boyan said.

"There is no room for failure in He Lin. The marshal is in charge and dispatching all directions. He orders Li Ting to be the main general, and Yuwa loses his left and right assistants one after another. He divides his troops into [-] troops."

"Your Highness has made arrangements." Boyan agreed.Li Ting is stable and reliable, Yuwa is brave and good at making plans. The most important thing is that the three of them have a harmonious relationship and can cooperate well.

After the distribution was completed, the troops were immediately divided. Zhenjin used Boyan to take charge of the war in the north, leaving 20 troops and [-] people behind, while he led the rest of his troops back to the Central Plains.

There is no feeling on the grassland, but when entering the border of Shanxi, Zhenjin finds an abnormality.

"There are no merchants on the road, and there is no joy among the people..." Zhenjin thought for a while and uttered four words: "Deadly!"

"What His Highness said is true." Dong Shizhen, Dong Wenyong's son, who read at the East Palace, said: "Looking at the ragged clothes of the people and their sallow complexions, it is obvious that their lives are extremely difficult."

"After years of fighting, it's the people who suffer." Zhenjin sighed.

"Your Majesty is seriously ill, and you already intend to pass on the throne. After your Majesty takes the throne, you should put people's livelihood first." Dong Shizhen persuaded.

"Ahema is the one who brings disaster to the country and the people. After His Highness ascends the throne, he should be beheaded to win over the people." Zhang Nahuai, the grandson of Duke Ji and the commander of the East Palace Guards, who conquered thousands of households in the west, remonstrated.

"It should be like this. We should do light corvee and pay little tax, and rest with the people. As long as the people surrender, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?" Zhenjin was full of confidence.

He swept through the four great khanates and not only gained many high-quality populations, but also gained countless wealth.

The gold, silver and copper he carried with him were worth two years of taxes, so he dared to say that he was frivolous and paid little tax.

Money is the backbone of a man, and it is also the backbone of a political power.

Keeping his thoughts in mind, Zhenjin hurried on while observing the sentiments of the people, and returned to Dadu at the end of July.

During this period, Li Ting encountered Xie Xianwen. After a small fight between the two sides, Xie Xianwen took the initiative to retreat, which ruined Yan Yan's plan to hold a meeting with Lin.

But also helpless.

Zhenjin used the manpower and material resources of the four great khanates to equip his subordinates with a large number of muskets and artillery. Coupled with the advantage of personnel, its combat power was not inferior to the Song army.

The damage was too serious, so Xie Xianwen withdrew his troops.

Of course, he was not idle. When he returned, he casually fucked Yuxi Timur, and directly killed Yuxi Timur's soldiers.

Yuxi Timur's strategy of besieging Wei and rescuing Zhao was not bad, but he underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Song army in Liaodong. He suffered a direct loss of troops and generals, but Xie Xianwen did it and only escaped with his own life.

Fortunately, under Boyan's management, the situation in Northland has stabilized, allowing Zhenjin to return to Beijing smoothly.

Just seeing Kublai Khan, Zhenjin shed tears of sadness.

The former hero could only lie on the bed today, completely without energy.

After fainting for the second time, Kublai Khan could not move half of his body and had to rely on others to carry him around.

"As the crown prince of the country, how can you behave like a daughter?" Kublai Khan sighed.

It sounds like reproach, but it's actually quite gratifying.

The harvest of Zhenjin’s Western Expedition was not only in terms of wealth and population, but also in its own growth.

Decisive in killing, combined with kindness and power, Zhenjin fully demonstrated the characteristics of a monarch. As for his shortcomings, he probably relied too much on Han officials.

Among the generals in the Western Expedition, half were Han and Mongolian, but most of the civil servants were Han, with a few Mongolians who were also literary men who were proficient in Chinese culture.

But in today's situation, it is not a bad thing to pay attention to or even rely on Hanchen. On the contrary, it will help the stability of the Central Plains.

The father and son reminisced about the past tenderly, but there was an undercurrent surging in the capital.

Zhenjin's return to the dynasty meant that power was about to be transferred. Those who had grievances with Zhenjin in the past were frightened and naturally thought about whether they could change the emperor.
