Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 242
"I've thought about the name a lot, but I haven't found a suitable word. Let me think about it again." Zhao Huan hesitated for a long time, but he still couldn't choose a name.

The word Huangpu was the answer that first appeared in Zhao Huan's mind. However, it was a place name. If it was called Bianjing Military Academy, it would be a bit inconsistent.

The Bianjing Lecture Hall was also one of his ideas.

The emergence of the term "Jianwutang" represents that Chinese military officers have moved from the hereditary system of generals to a new training system.

But Zhao Huan felt that the naming rules of the Song Dynasty were not suitable, especially the dynasty that appeared in the Jiangwu Hall, which was a dynasty he hated.

Zhao Huan felt that he was alone, so it was normal to have preferences.

His favorite name is Dasong Army Command Academy. This mediocre name was the last name he decided on.

If it is too high-profile, it will appear ostentatious, and doing things down-to-earth is the style Zhao Huan wants.

"Has there been any recent changes on the side of the Supreme Emperor?" Zhao Huan asked in a daze.

Li Gang shook his head and said: "I wrote a letter to invite the Supreme Emperor to return to Beijing, but the Supreme Emperor was not fooled. After all, the Supreme Emperor is very smart."

Li Gang really didn't know what adjective to use to describe Zhao Ji, so he had to use the word "clever".

"However, this minister not only deceives, but also persecutes. The Supreme Emperor lived a happy life in Lin'an, but his life was extremely extravagant, and the expenses were huge. The minister sent a famous prostitute, Li Shishi, to prepare her to spend the Supreme Emperor's money."

"The Supreme Emperor has no money, so he will come back naturally." Li Gang bowed his head and said.

Zhao Huan nodded, this Zhao Ji is also a ghost, and he can be regarded as having a way of forcing Li Gang to this point.

"The Prime Minister of the Great Song Dynasty conspired with a famous prostitute. It would not be good for Dazai's reputation if it spreads." Zhao Huan shook his head and said.

Li Gang was taken aback when he heard this, knowing that the officials had misunderstood him, he said with a smile: "I didn't show up, I just sent a few scholars to deceive Master Li."

"It's unrealistic to expect a woman to succeed, so I shot Zhao Mingcheng again. Zhao Mingcheng loves gold and stones, and the emperor loves stones. He once set up a birthday guide to collect strange stones from all over the world. This study of gold and stones consumes the most money."

"Then your plan is. I will supervise the establishment of this military academy and the new army." Zhao Huan has a very bad impression of Zhao Mingcheng, but in the spirit of waste utilization, let Li Gang do it.

At this time, Cai Jing and Tong Guan were standing on the wall of Lin'an City, their faces full of melancholy.

"There are more and more imperial troops returning from the north." Cai Jing said suddenly.

Recently, the imperial guards outside Lin'an City are fleeing. To be precise, since the Supreme Emperor explicitly rejected the grain merchant's request to settle the bill, the imperial guards have completely lost confidence in the Supreme Emperor.

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Zhao Ji's roar on the flower boat has been spread everywhere by interested people. It is the work of Sichazi, who belongs to the Lin'an imperial city.

Even if Cai Jing settled the payment of the grain merchants with his own pocket and guaranteed the normal supply of grain and grass, it still couldn't stop the imperial army from leaving Germany.

Although the forbidden army is stupid, they don't know that Bianjing is in the south and in the north, but they are not stupid, they know who is good and who is bad.

"Three to five thousand today, three to five thousand tomorrow, within a month, the 40 imperial troops will have to run away completely, alas." Tong Guan was also helpless.

If the imperial army wanted to run away, he had nothing to do. The supervising team was quite capable, but they couldn't bear to break the battalion.

The collapse of the camp was a very interesting phenomenon in the Song Dynasty. The forbidden army ran away in groups when they encountered a battle.The supervising team is also powerless, there are too many people, and it can't be gathered at all.

"Does the Supreme Emperor know about the collapse of the soldiers outside Lin'an City?" Cai Jing asked extremely worried.

Tong Guan nodded, shook his head again, and said: "I told the Supreme Emperor about this matter, and the Supreme Emperor replied that I knew it, and I don't know if I knew it or I didn't know it."

"Recently, the Supreme Emperor is very interested in writing lyrics, especially after Li Shishi came, his poetic enthusiasm is even higher, and he wrote three long poems in a row."

Cai Jing frowned and asked, "You just write the lyrics, why does King Tong look bitter?"

Tong Guan shook his head and said, "You don't know. If it's writing lyrics, composing music, and singing lyrics, how can I still be so melancholy? The Supreme Emperor has recently become obsessed with inscriptions on ancient paintings, or the words written by himself. Do you know the price of this ancient painting?" .It is really costly."

"Recently, I wrote an inscription on a painting by the former Tang painter Han Gan. It's okay to say. A "Picture of Herding Horses" is only a few hundred thousand pieces, but the day before yesterday, the Supreme Emperor wanted to find Wu Daozi's painting. I'm afraid I will suffer. Then How long can 4000 million guns last?"

Cai Jing was silent for a long time and said: "Fake, use fake paintings to fool around."

Tong Guan patted the railing vigorously, and said, "You think I don't want to? I found a famous Jiangnan master to make a fake painting, which was indistinguishable from the real one, so I took the fake painting to the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor himself is proficient in painting and calligraphy. Hua was a little suspicious, and was fooled by a few words."

"The result! A defected official came to Bianjing, named Zhao Mingcheng, who is the husband of everyone in Bianjing Li. He is a good gold stone, and he can tell it's a fake at a glance. Make me angry."

Tong Guan resented Zhao Mingcheng, but there was nothing he could do. Now that Zhao Mingcheng was with the Supreme Emperor, he was very honored.

Difficult.

"What did the Cui family of the Chen family in Huaibei and Huainan say? Has their patriarch arrived?" Tong Guan asked, thinking of the issue of military rations.

Cai Jing shook his head. The ultra-low food price that was originally set had already made these rich people feel a little bad about the Supreme Emperor.

However, the situation in the north was uncertain at that time, and the rich and wealthy businessmen bet on both sides, and they were fighting against each other. One side offered some money to the new emperor, and the other side provided him with food and grass for the Supreme Emperor.

But now the situation in the north has been completely calmed down, the new emperor has completely defeated the Jinren and returned to the court, and the rich and wealthy merchants have completely voted for the new emperor's camp.

"Don't talk about the Patriarch. I haven't been able to find the shopkeepers of the Chen family and the Cui family recently. I heard that they all withdrew from Lin'an and completely severed the relationship with the Supreme Emperor." Cai Jing said helplessly.

"The wealthy merchants are only the first step, and the small merchants behind will wait and see and completely cut off contact with the Supreme Emperor. At that time, the military supplies will be unsustainable, and the speed of the imperial army's collapse will only be faster." Cai Jing is very aware of the situation and is worried. Said.

What do you mean by the end of the world?This is called the general trend is gone!

The 26-year reign of the Supreme Emperor was unpopular.

In Xuanhe's three years in Yangzhou, Xuzhou and other places, the scorched-earth policy of [-] out of [-] made Jiangnan people hate Zhao Ji deeply.

If it weren't for the 40 forbidden troops under Lin'an City, there might have been assassinations or riots long ago.

Now that the imperial army is fleeing, this deterrent force is gradually weakening, the morale of the army is slackened, and everyone is looking for a future. Cai Jing has already felt that the rain is coming.

got windy.

With gusts of wind, Cai Jing stretched out his hand to grab the sky of Lin'an City, and the West Lake, where the sun was setting, was as quiet as ever.

"Teacher, something is wrong! The Lin'an Palace is surrounded by soldiers from the Huaying Army!" A herald ran over in a panic.

Cai Jing looked at Tong Guan with a numb scalp, something big is about to happen!

　Four changes are expected today.
