Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 708 The Growth of the Official Family

Zhao Huan's question is exactly what Li Gang wanted to ask, why should soldiers rescue the disaster...

"Officials from all the prefectures are very dissatisfied with this order. It is better for the soldiers of the prefectures not to move. Otherwise, this is just a flood, and a military disaster will have to be added." Li Gang wiped the sweat from his forehead and reminded the officials: " It’s not some soldiers, it’s Yue Fei’s Hejian Army who froze to death and didn’t demolish houses, and it wasn’t Han Shizhong’s Shan Haijun who committed no crime to the common people…”

"The Two Jingshui Army was personally trained by Zong Shaoqing and Yang Yao. This military discipline is based on General Yue's set. Naturally, it can be used for disaster relief. So I sent the Two Jings Water Army to go."

Zhao Huan's furrowed brows relaxed a little. What did the Song army look like to him?
Orders and orders are prohibited, military discipline is strict, and style is good.

But for the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, except for the Hejian Army and the Shanhai Army who can do this, the others are no better than the bandits.

Only then did Zhao Huan realize that the fish and water situation between soldiers and civilians can only appear in later generations. At this moment in time, the common people look at soldiers as they look at bandits, there is almost no difference.

"I took it for granted." Zhao Huan said helplessly, but the embankment must be done, and the military discipline of the soldiers cannot guarantee that they will not disturb the people, and may even disturb the already chaotic victims.

"I suggest mobilizing civilians from all over the country, led by the Work Relief Institute, to recast the dams in the disaster area first, and at the same time urge the local government officials to mobilize the people. There is also the Red Scarf Army that can be used." Li Gang explained.

He opposed the government's political theory and couldn't come up with a more suitable plan. He was not a qualified Song Zaizhi.

"Red Scarf Army?" Zhao Huan's mind reproduced the Han Song Red Scarf Army. Isn't this the army that should have appeared at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty?
Li Gang looked at the doubts on the faces of the officials and said: "The Jinren slaughtered and plundered most of the prefectures and counties in Hedong and Hebei. It's called the Red Scarf Army."

[Reminder of historical events: The Red Turban Army revolted at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. The slogan was: Three Thousands of Tigers and Cocks, Straight to the Land of Youyan, Ninety-five Dragons Flying, Reopening the Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty.Its leader, Han Shantong, claimed to be the eighth grandson of Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. His soldiers from the Three Route Army made the Northern Expedition, and most of their soldiers were soldiers and civilians from the North.The West Route Army even broke through Yuanshangdu and moved to Liaoyang and other places, which dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Yuan army. 】

[The Red Scarf Army has a long history, and it has existed since the Jin people went south. 】

Only then did Zhao Huan remember that in Taiyuan, Datong, Jinzhou, Liaoyang and other places, he had seen the soldiers of the Song Dynasty many times, and some of the red scarves on their arms were also worn on their necks. Enemy.

Behind their feelings, there is also the matter of the Red Scarf Army.

"Then mobilize the red scarf rebels from all over the country and go to the disaster area. The food and grass needed will be delivered with the national and domestic funds." Zhao Huan nodded.

"The Red Scarf Army doesn't want food, it's already on the way." Li Gang said with a smile: "It's all spontaneous. This year, the two roads in Hedong and Hebei have a good harvest. The people have food in their hands. Went to the disaster area for disaster relief."

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang with satisfaction in his eyes. The Great Song Dynasty had raised scholars for 160 years, raising a bunch of waste, and the Great Song Dynasty had been harsh on the people for 160 years.

Zhao Huan always felt that he was prejudiced against civil servants, which was not good, but sometimes these things happened one by one, and he felt that his prejudice was getting deeper and deeper.

He nodded and said, "Good thing."

Li Gang looked at the faces of the officials, and said hesitantly: "Tanzhou was broken by the rioting people, and Liu Andao, the prefect of Tanzhou, was killed."

"On the two rivers and all roads, groups of bandits arose. The big ones attacked the cities, the small ones spread over the rocky valleys, the many ones counted in the thousands, and the few ones gathered. Those who defeated the Tianwang of Tanzhou and the name of Suo Maile who defeated Jianning were innumerable. "

"The momentum is astonishing. Several state capitals have already been besieged. It is claimed that the heavenly king is born, Maitreya is born, the people are born, and the common people are born."

Li Gang took a careful look at the official's house. Someone had rebelled, but the official's face was filled with a dumbfounding expression.

"They all said that I was the reincarnation of Lord Yan, but I gave myself a good name." Zhao Huan said helplessly.

This is what he is worried about. Some people's minds are uncertain, and the common people suffer.

Zhao Huan glanced at Zhonghun Ming behind him, shook his head and said, "Fan Ruwei's naval division has also been training for a while, let Fan Ruwei go, he himself was born in a rebel army, if he can recruit security, he will recruit security, and now the focus is on disaster relief."

"The disaster is over, and the person who caused the incident naturally has no roots, so he will stop."

Li Gang bowed his head and said loudly: "The officials are wise."

What Li Gang was most worried about was that the emperor of the Song Dynasty heard about the rebellion and sent out elite soldiers to suppress the rebellion. He had seen how the soldiers of the Song Dynasty ordered and prohibited them.

What's the use of the Taishanghuang's massacre in the south of the Yangtze River?
Instead, it became a reason for the people to rebel.

The Supreme Emperor was merciless and ungrateful, and left a bad reputation. Zhao Gou did not search less in the south of the Yangtze River. Du Chong's money was worth tens of millions.
Jiangnan rebelled again, as long as someone took action, that was an inevitable fact.

Seeing Li Gang's worried look, Zhao Huan just shook his head and laughed. He was no longer the bewildered emperor who had just arrived in Song Dynasty.

He said with a smile: "I understand Li Dazai's worries. The people are ignorant, and some people don't even know that the Song Dynasty has changed emperors. I have patience with them. As long as Fan Ru enters the Liangjiang, publicizes and recruits, and then revitalizes to educate .”

"The matter in the south of the Yangtze River is actually the floating of people's hearts caused by the flood. Solving the flood is the root of calming the disaster."

Li Gang breathed a sigh of relief. His official family has been in Yanjing for more than half a year, and it is obviously much more stable.

"Officials, King Chongde is here." Li Gang finally reported one of the remaining affairs of the government to the officials.

"He didn't take good care of his King Chongde in Wa Kingdom, why did he run away to Bianjing? Emperor Toba kicked him out?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise.

"The official issued an order to reprimand that this idiot quarreled with Emperor Toba before his wings were full, and then Emperor Toba joined forces with other people to lift him up, so he ran to Bianjing to take refuge." Li Gang also said dumbfoundingly.

Zhao Huan recalled that it was a blessing to be able to come to Bianjing after the lord of the subject country was kicked out.

"He wants to invite three thousand soldiers to return to Japan to suppress the rebellion." Li Gang said cautiously.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said: "Since you have said that he is an idiot, if I give him another three thousand soldiers, wouldn't I be an idiot too? Take my 3000 people in again?"

"Next year, I will send someone to lead soldiers to ask this Toba, how much courage does he have to take in the golden man!"
