Song Dynasty

Chapter 106 Get what you want ([-])

In addition, you can see with your own eyes how sacred Du Shu's daughter is.

Although it doesn't matter what the daughter of the Du family looks like now, Wang Shen always feels uneasy.

For this reason, Wang Shen specially asked An Niang to visit Du Shu together.

After the Jiankang Defense War, Du Shu and the civil officials still went to the barracks every day to order food, drink tea, and read books, and at night they went home to reunite with their families.

Wang Shen didn't expect that there would be so many people in Du Yue's family. He had a wife and a concubine, three sons, seven grandsons, and one daughter.His mother, Du Shu is not much older than himself, so he is a grandfather.

With so many people in the family, and fleeing all the way to Jinling, life is naturally extremely miserable.Fortunately, after a great victory, he fell into Du Chong's eyes, and he wanted to be vigorously cultivated as an elite of the Du family.As a result, people from the left-behind department came to pay respects one after another, or gave gifts, or invited them to eat, and the days gradually passed smoothly.

Since Wang Shen came to discuss the marriage of two families this time, and brought his family with him, Du Shu held a family banquet.

In this way, Wang Shen finally met Du Shu's daughter.When I saw it, I was taken aback, and a word flashed in my mind: Ou Zhuang.

As strong as a European!

Du Chong is also considered a good-looking talent, gentle, middle-aged handsome guy, but his daughter is a bit miserable.

How should I put it, this little lady is not ugly, has good facial features, and is of good height, at least 1.6 meters and fifteen.It's just that the skeleton is too big and takes up a lot of space.That arm, that leg, are as vigorous as an athlete. What Wang Shen can't accept the most is that her skin is a bit dark.

Yue Yun is already a strong man, if he marries Miss Du and gives birth to a child, he doesn't know what it will look like?It's fine if it's a boy, at worst, you can stay in the army and become a general in the army. If it's a girl, how will you get married in the future?

Immediately, Wang Shen felt a little unhappy, feeling that he had suffered a big loss.

Fortunately, Mrs. Du is gentle and gentle, and she and An Niang are also compatible.

On the contrary, Du Xiaoniang's biological mother was very enthusiastic about Wang Shen and An Niang, and she was very proud of her eyebrows.She is Du Shu's main wife, but for some reason, she has been married for many years and has never given birth to Lin'er.But Hujunna's concubine gave birth to three sons in one go, which made her very angry.After the battle of Jiankang, Yue Yun would definitely become a high official, so she, the future husband, became proud and looked at Du Shu's concubine with disdain.

Once the hostess is happy, the host and guest will naturally enjoy themselves.

After dinner, Du Shu was already drunk, so he invited Wang Shen into the study room, screened away from the left and right, and giggled with a broken teacup: "Dao Si, Dao Si, it is my luck to meet you! In the past, staying behind The people in the department saw me as if I had seen a ghost, but now they are all here to curry favor. Hehe, I don’t know that my uncle wants to support me, maybe he will allow me to be a magistrate or something, and then I will be a Jinshi... Uh... Now the world is in chaos Obviously, no one takes the imperial examinations seriously, if you go through the gates, you are sure to pass. After another ten years or so, you will enter the imperial court. The future is really tight."

Seeing his drunken appearance, Wang Shen refilled his tea and said with a smile, "But I don't know where Yue Zhi is going to get a job?"

Du Shu: "Uncle asked me if I would go to Quanzhou."

Wang Shen was also happy for him, saying: "That's a good place, you can go there."

"Pu Chi, what am I going to do in Quanzhou?" Du Shu laughed and shook his head: "It's boring, it's boring, I declined."

"Refused?" Wang Shen's eyes widened.

Du Shu said: "Yes, I declined. I'm not interested in being a magistrate. If I really go there, I'll be bored to death. How can it be as enjoyable as being with Dao Si and you on a gold and iron horse? Man, you have to do it." These things are worthy of being famous in history." He became excited, patted a hand knife on the table beside him, and shouted: "Please go to Lingyan Pavilion, if you are a scholar with thousands of households! Dao Si, After those two bloody battles, I figured it out. Only in the barracks and on the battlefield did I feel that this life is meaningful. Although Du Shu is dull, he can still do something. If you don’t give up, Si Wherever the state army is going, where you Wang Daosi is going, where will I go?"

Wang Shen was moved in his heart, grabbed his hand, and said: "Brother Yue, how can Wang Shen He De look down on you, it's just... Du Xianggong..."

"Don't worry, I'll go to my uncle." Du Shu said: "Anyway, wherever you go, you are doing your best for the country. Tell me, Dao Si, what are your plans for the next step, so I can answer."

Seeing the important point, Wang Shen nodded: "I want to lead an army alone, and go west to put down the Jinghu rebellion."

In another half a year, the battle of the Jin people to search the mountains, check the seas and capture Zhao Gou will come to an end. Then, the Southern Song Dynasty will negotiate peace with the Jurchen, and there will be a period of peace between the two countries, at least in the Jianghuai area.

Without the threat of the Jin army, the Southern Song Dynasty would focus on the rebels in the south.In real history, the Southern Song Dynasty concentrated all military forces in the entire Jianghuai region to conquer all rebels and rogues, first Li Cheng, Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, and Kong Yanzhou, followed by Zhong Xiang and Yang Yao.If the south cannot be completely pacified, the small dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty may capsize at any time.

In fact, in this time and space, banditry is already very serious everywhere.Dozens of rogue bandits, big and small, attacked states and plundered counties, separated one side, and blocked traffic in the southeast, southwest, and northwest. Today, the Southern Song Dynasty only governs the two regions of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Bashu.

The instigator of this situation is Du Chong, the birdman.

He first caused internal strife in the left-behind department in Kaifeng, causing the army to split.The generals who rebelled in the left-behind division in Tokyo, such as Kong Yanzhou, Cao Cheng, Zhang Yong, Wang Shan, etc., all ran to the south of the Yangtze River and became the leaders of the local bandits. .

After the Jiankang Defense War, Du Chong's soldiers will mutiny and defeat again, like Qi Fang, also become a big bandit.

It can be said that the rogue bandits in the south were all former subordinates of Du Chong.The most terrible thing is that the backbone of those rogues are all elites trained by Zong Ze in Kaifeng before, with excellent military literacy and amazing combat effectiveness.As soon as the newly formed army in the Southern Song Dynasty was put into the battlefield, it was beaten all over the ground by the Judgment Army.

Even someone as strong as Yue Fei suffered a lot of hidden losses when facing Cao Cheng, Li Cheng and others on the battlefield.

For example, when Cao Cheng was exterminated in Nanchang, his uncle Yue Fan was killed in battle, and the general Han Shunfu was cut off with an arm, causing great losses to the troops.

In this time and space, there is no God of War Yue Fei. To be honest, Wang Shen is not optimistic about the southern bandit suppression campaign that will start next year.

Speaking of Qi Fang, this guy is deeply trusted by Du Chong, and he holds the most elite troops of the Jiankang Left-behind Division in his hands.This time when Jurchen crossed the river, because he hated Du Chong deeply, he led his soldiers and horses to defect.Similarly, in the chaos that day, Du Chong's men and horses basically fled, and the future south will definitely be messed up by these men and horses.

As for this big victory that was finally won, it was only these few days that Wang Shen gradually figured out all the circumstances.It turned out that after the left-behind division troops crossed the river and were defeated by Yelu Mawu that day, nearly forty large ships were captured instead of twenty in real history.

Therefore, Wushu divided its troops into two groups.On the one hand, led by Ma Wu, they went straight to Majiadu and got off the ferry, and on the other hand, Ba Lisu led five hundred kidnappers to land on the ferry, flanking Du Chong.

Wang Shen almost slapped himself when he heard people talk about it later.Blame it on myself for relying on historical records, and the pre-war preparations were not perfect.If he had known that there were two crossings in Majiadu, the pre-specified battle plan would have looked different.

The history he knows has completely changed, and finally he has to fall into a bitter battle.Fortunately, relying on a thousand new troops, after two hard battles, the situation that had deteriorated to the extreme was completely reversed.

It would be a lie to say that I am unhappy, but after the victory, a sense of pride arose in my heart: All the soldiers and civilians in Jiankang City live because of me alone, maybe this is the meaning of my time travel to this world!

In fact, the victory in this battle not only saved the people of Jinling, but also saved Du Chong's political future.

Jiankang is the political, economic and cultural center of the entire southeast. Once it falls, the Jurchens can rely on the manpower and material resources of this big city to pursue Zhao Gou and sweep the entire south of the Yangtze River.The most terrible thing is that the loss of Jiankang was a heavy blow to the morale of the new Southern Song Dynasty.Because of this, after the fall of Jinling, Du Chong knew that his future was ruined, and he surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin in despair.

Now, repelling the Wushu army and defending this big city will not only improve the military and political situation in the Southern Song Dynasty, but as the military and political chief in the Jianghuai region, Du Chong's prestige and power will surely be at the height of the sky, sweeping away the decline of Kaifeng.Not only is the position of the Zhengshitang firmly secured, but it is very likely that he will fight for the position of the prime minister in the future.

All these things are all because of Wang Shen and the blood shed by his Sizhou soldiers at Majiadu.

Du Chong is a man of strategy, cruel and easy to kill, but he is not mentally retarded.People who can sit in the right position, among other things, have higher IQ and EQ than ordinary people.Naturally, he knew the significance of Wang Shen's victory to him. If such great achievements were not rewarded, who would be willing to work for him in the future?
Today, Du Shu invited Wang Shen to a family banquet. On the surface, it was to discuss the marriage between the two families, but in fact, it was a reward for merit.

In fact, what he meant was to keep Wang Shen to serve in the left-behind division. If Wang Shen nodded, he could be allowed to replace the martyred Chen Cui as the ruler of the Chinese army.

He had already explained this to Du Shu first.

Du Shu was also happy for Wang Shen to be promoted to ruler with a small battalion commander and actually lead the army.

But Wang Shen resigned very simply, leaving Jinling in good condition, but going to the Jinghu area to suppress the rebellion, which surprised Du Yuezhi, and couldn't help shouting: "Daosi, you don't want to be afraid of your bright future. But go to Jinghu, where the chaos is tight, why are you so confused? No, no, I will definitely not agree."

Wang Shen just looked at Du Shu and smiled.

Du Shu was baffled by him: "Dao Si, what do you think I'm doing, why are you laughing at me?"

Wang Shen: "Brother Yue, what you said today is from the standpoint of the left-behind commander Du Xiang, or from the standpoint of the Sizhou army?"

"Isn't this nonsense? Today is a family banquet, which is a chat between our old friends. Besides, am I still the military envoy of the Sizhou Army?" Du Shu said with drunken eyes: "Dao Si, you What kind of friendship do I have, what's the point of saying this?"

"Hehe." Wang Shen smiled lightly, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Three lives are unlucky, the county magistrate attaches to Guo, three lives do evil, and attach to Guo's provincial city; evil is full, and attaches to Guo's capital city. This Jiankang is guarded, and we will say no to it in the future. The quasi-officials are about to move to Jinling again! We are just warriors, and we must fight in the battlefield to make achievements."
